Mankind in its present state has been 
around for a quarter of a million years, yet 
only the last 4,000 have been of any 
significance. 


So, what did we do for nearly 250,000 years? 
We huddled in caves and around small fires, 
fearful of the things that we didn't understand. 
lt was more than explaining why the sun came 
up, it was the mystery of enormous birds with 
heads of men and rocks that came to life. So 
we called them 'gods' and 'demons’, begged 
them to spare us, and prayed for salvation. 


In time, their numbers dwindled and ours rose. 
The world began to make more sense when 
there were fewer things to fear, yet the 
unexplained can never truly go away, as if the 
universe demands the absurd and impossible. 


Mankind must not go back to hiding in 
fear.No one else will protect us, and we must 
stand up for ourselves. 


While the rest of mankind dwells in the light, we 
must stand in the darkness to fight it, contain it, 
and shield it from the eyes of the public, so that 


others may live in a sane and normal world. 
We secure. We contain. We protect.

SCP-002: The "Living" Room 


Item #: SCP-002 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-002 is to remain 
connected to a suitable power supply at all times, to keep it in what 
appears to be a recharging mode. In case of electrical outage, the 
emergency barrier between the object and the facility is to be closed 
and the immediate area evacuated. Once facility power is re- 
established, alternating bursts of X-ray and ultraviolet light must 
strobe the area until SCP-002 is re-affixed to the power supply and 
returned to recharging mode. Containment area is to be kept at 
negative air pressure at all times. 


Teams including a minimum of two (2) members are required within 
20 meters of SCP-002 or its containment area. Personnel should 
maintain physical contact with one another at all times to confirm 
there is another person present, as perception may be dulled, 
skewed, or influenced by proximity to the object. 


No personnel below Level 3 are permitted within SCP-002. This 
requirement may be waived via written authorization from two (2) 
off-site Level 4 administrators. Command staff issued such a waiver 
must be escorted by at least five (5) Level 3 Security personnel for 
the duration of their contact and must temporarily surrender their 
rank and security clearance. Following contact, command staff will 
be escorted at least 5 km from SCP-002 to undergo a seventy-two 
(72)-hour quarantine and psychological evaluation. If deemed fit for 
return to duty by psych staff, rank and security clearance may be 
restored when quarantine expires. 


Description: SCP-002 resembles a tumorous, fleshy growth with a 
volume of roughly 60 m (or 2000 ft®). An iron valve hatch on one 
side leads to its interior, which appears to be a standard low-rent 
apartment of modest size. One wall of the room possesses a single 


window, though no such opening is visible from the exterior. The 
room contains furniture which, upon close examination, appears to 
be sculpted bone, woven hair, and various other biological 
substances produced by the human body. All matter tested thus far 
show independent or fragmented DNA sequences for each object in 
the room. 


Refer to the Mulhausen Report [cross-ref:document00.023.603] for 
details related to object's discovery. 


Reference: To date, subject has been responsible for the 
disappearances of seven personnel. It has also in its time at the 
facility further furnished itself with two lamps, a throw rug, a 
television, a radio, a beanbag chair, three books in an unknown 
language, four children's toys, and a small potted plant. Tests with a 
variety of lab animals including higher primates have failed to 
provoke a response in SCP-002. Cadavers as well fail to produce 
any effect. Whatever process the subject uses to convert organic 
matter into furnishings is apparently only facilitated by the 
introduction of living humans.

Mulhausen Report [00.023.603] 


The following is a brief report detailing the discovery of 
SCP-002 


Subject was discovered in a small crater in northern 
Portugal where it struck the Earth from orbit. Encased in 
a shell of thick rock, the fleshy exterior of the object was 
exposed by the impact. A native farmer happened upon 
the site and reported his findings to the village elder. 
Subject gained SCP attention when a Level 4 agent 
posted in the area detected a small radioactive anomaly 
generated by the object. 


A collection squad of SCP security personnel led by 
General Mulhausen was immediately dispatched to the 
area where they quickly secured the subject in a large 
container and performed initial testing with subjects 


recruited from the nearby village. Three men individually 
sent into the structure subsequently disappeared. Upon 
discovering this deadly property of the subject, General 
Mulhausen issued a Level 4a Termination Order of any 
witnesses (roughly 1/3 of the village) to ensure no 
outside knowledge of the object and initiated its transport 
to SCP facility [DATA EXPUNGED)]. 


During preparation for transport, four SCP security 
personnel were inexplicably drawn inside the object 
where they too immediately disappeared. Following 
inspection, it appeared as if the object had "grown" 
several new furnishings and was beginning to look like 
the interior of an apartment room. General Mulhausen 
immediately ordered the requisition of several Class III 
HAZMAT suits for the remaining security team members, 
who proceeded to lift the container onto a waiting freight 
ship for transport to the SCP containment facility. 


[DATA EXPUNGED] 
[DATA EXPUNGED] 


Following the termination of General Mulhausen, 
SCP-002 was re-secured by SCP staff and brought into 
special containment in [CLASSIFIED], where it currently 
resides. Staff with clearance below Level 3 have been 
denied access to the SCP-002 container without prior 
approval of at least two Level 4 staff after the Mulhausen 
incident.

SCP-003: Biological Motherboard 


Item #: SCP-003 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-003 is to be maintained at 
a constant temperature of no less than 35°C and ideally kept above 
100°C. No living multicellular organisms of Category IV or higher 
complexity may be allowed to come into contact with SCP-003. 


In event of total power failure, if SCP-003-1 begins to increase its 
mass, assigned personnel must engage in skin contact with 
SCP-003-1. Ideally, personnel may use their body heat to return 
SCP-003-1 to above the critical temperature; however, skin contact 
must be maintained even in event of SCP-003 reaching activation 
temperature, lasting at minimum until SCP-003-1 advances fully to 
its second growth stage. 


Personnel who enter SCP-003's containment area must first be 
examined for body parasites of Category IV or higher complexity, 
and sterilized if such organisms are present. All personnel who have 
come in physical contact with SCP-003-1 are to immediately report 
for sterilization afterwards. 


SCP-003-1 must not be removed from SCP-003-2 except in case of 
emergency procedures detailed above. Any significant change in 
SCP-003-2's rune activity (including pattern, frequency, or color) 
should be reported within three (3) hours of occurrence. Cessation 
of rune activity must be reported immediately. SCP-003-2 must be 
supplied with power via the source designated Generator 003-IX at 
all times. 


Description: SCP-003 consists of two related components of 
separate origin, referred to as SCP-003-1 and SCP-003-2. 


SCP-003-1 appears to be composed of chitin, hair, and nails of 


unknown biology, arranged in a configuration similar to that of a 
computer motherboard. Testing reveals SCP-003-1 to predate 
earliest known circuit boards by a factor of thousands of years. 
SCP-003-1 is considered sentient but not actively dangerous except 
under certain conditions. 


SCP-003-1 was found on a stone tablet, SCP-003-2, on which it 
currently resides. The runes on SCP-003-2 are not part of any 
known language, and emit pale, flickering light patterns. 


SCP-003-2 is controlled by a (non-biological) internal computer, the 
contents of which are mostly inaccessible without risk of damaging 
SCP-003-2. SCP-003-2 is capable of controlled emissions of 
radiation, including heat, light, and anomalous radiation types. 
SCP-003-2 contains an internal power source of an anomalous 
nature, which appears to have been losing power since several 
centuries before discovery. 


It is considered probable that SCP-003-2 was created for the 
purpose of containing SCP-003-1. Partially interpreted data 
recovered from SCP-003-2 may refer to a past and/or potential 
future LK-class restructuring event caused by SCP-003-1. 


SCP-003 was located by remote viewing team SRV-04 Beta. It 
appears possible that SRV-04 Beta was deliberately contacted by 
SCP-003-2. Other organizations have also been alerted to 
SCP-003's existence, possibly by similar means. Despite this 
activity, SCP-003-2 does not appear to be sentient, based on its lack 
of reaction to M03-Gloria analysis and procedures. 


When SCP-003 drops below the temperature of 35°C, both 
components react. 


First, SCP-003-1 enters a growth state characterized by an 
exponential increase in mass. This growth state consists of two 
stages. In both stages, SCP-003-1 partially fuels its growth by 
converting matter around it, starting with any surrounding inorganic 
material, including atmospheric elements, then nonliving organic 
material, including cells of dead skin, hair, chitin, enamel, keratin, 
and other biological materials. 


The first stage is always the same. SCP-003-1 will first increase its 
mass, then take a form similar in shape to an ophiuroid (brittle star) 
of fifteen meters in diameter (including what appears to be a central 
processor of three meters in diameter). It will form sensory organs 
that appear to scan its surrounding environment, and will partially 
convert the area around it to an unidentified anomalous substance 
(SCP-003-2 seems immune from conversion). 


The second stage describes a growth alteration which occurs when 
SCP-003 comes into contact with living organic material; SCP-003 
appears to "template" itself off of the organic material, and will 
attempt communication with organisms that match its initial 
"template" or "templates". 


In its second stage, SCP-003-1 may pause, slow or change its 
growth, and will also convert inorganic and nonliving organic 
elements into functionally similar structures while anomalously 
altering their physical makeup. 


While growth is consistent in the first stage, in the second stage 
SCP-003-1's growth rate is diminished by 20-90% so long as 
SCP-003-1 remains in contact with living organic material. The 
percentage is determined by the complexity of the organism(s) in 
contact with SCP-003-1; SCP-003-1 appears to devote a large 
amount of processing power to analysis of living organic material. 


During each of SCP-003-1's growth stages, SCP-003-2 releases 
bursts of radiation that temporarily inhibit SCP-003-1's growth, or 
reverse this growth when the temperature of SCP-003-1 rises above 
100°C. Similar radiation emissions have been replicated or recorded 
via other anomalous means. 


SCP-003-1's biology has been the subject of extensive study. 
Significant elements have been identified similar to SCP- _ , 
SCP-1512, and SCP-2756, the latter two of which have no further 
confirmed connection with SCP-003-1 and no known connection 
with each other, and none of which are fully understood (technically, 
even less understood than SCP-003, thanks to the extensive cross- 
disciplinary research on the SCP-003 objects). To date, no 
convincing analysis has been put forward which satisfactorily 
explains SCP-003-1's connection to these SCP objects or others, 


nor its connection to modern technology beyond appearance (and 
potential mimicry via unknown mechanism). 


Addendum 003-01: Acting on information gathered from linguistic 
analysis of SCP-003-2's runes and comparative data analysis, 
Research Team M03-Gloria has managed to establish a link 
between SCP-003 and [DATA EXPUNGED] for analysis of 
functions. SCP-003-1 must now be considered sentient, and is to be 
kept a minimum of 1 km from [DATA EXPUNGED] and the resulting 
"by-product" at all times. 


Addendum 003-02: SCP-003-2's power loss has been exacerbated 
by the procedures performed by M03-Gloria. On orders of O5-10, 
MO03-Gloria will continue procedures. 


Addendum 003-03: During M03-Gloria procedures, SCP-003-1 
doubled its mass and began rapid structural growth. Temperature 
was immediately returned to 100°C. Growth and mass increase of 
SCP-003-1 continued for 9 minutes and 6 seconds, at which time a 
sustained radiation spike was produced by SCP-003-2. In response, 
SCP-003-1 returned to its normal state in 3 minutes and 39 
seconds. New growth dissolved into a dusty residue which was 
collected for analysis. Both SCP-003-1 and SCP-003-2 ceased all 
detectable activity. SCP-003-2 did not resume activity until 
connected to external power source. SCP-003-2's runes glowed 
uniformly gray and did not resume normal activity for three (3) hours. 
SCP-003-2 no longer appears to be able to maintain containment 
area at a temperature above 35°C without external power supplied 
by Generators 003-III through IX. 


Addendum 003-04: The procedure detailed in Addendum 003-03 
was repeated, and SCP-003-1 again entered a growth state. After 
10 minutes and 13 seconds, SCP-003-2 once again produced a 
sustained radiation spike. SCP-003-1's growth stopped for 36 
seconds, then resumed at its previous pace. 


On quadrupling its mass, SCP-003-1 formed a coherent outer shell 
and body. After appearing to scan its environment and partially 
converting its environment, SCP-003-1 then breached containment, 
entering the observation gallery where nine members of M03-Gloria 
were present. On physical contact with team members, SCP-003-1 


encompassed them in rapidly-grown appendages and stopped 
growth for 15 minutes. SCP-003-1 then resumed growth, and 
rearranged the component parts of the center of its form to the 
shape of a three-meter-tall female humanoid, with peripheral 
"tentacles" shifting to extrude primarily from SCP-003-1's newly 
formed "hair" and spine. SCP-003-1 then produced rudimentary 
vocalizations in an apparent initial attempt to communicate with 
researchers. [DATA EXPUNGED] 


An unknown individual approached the compromised containment 
area in company of a full squad of agents. The individual claimed to 
be acting on orders of O5-10 and attempted communication with 
SCP-003-1. [DATA EXPUNGED] 


Following this incident, Agent Jackson of M03-Gloria successfully 
restored power to SCP-003-2 and activated backup generators to 
return the temperature to 100°C. SCP-003-1 returned to its normal 
state in 21 minutes and 7 seconds, and was successfully re- 
contained without incident. 


All nine members of M03-Gloria affected by SCP-003-1 were 
afterwards found to be physically unharmed, with no residual effects 
besides psychological trauma. The converted materials of 
SCP-003's former containment area did not dissolve and are now 
under analysis. 


Addendum 003-05: In light of the previous incident, O5-10 was 
removed from the O5 Council by joint decision of O5- , O5- , and 
O5- . MO3-Gloria procedures have been indefinitely suspended.

SCP-004: The 12 Rusty Keys and the Door 


Item #: SCP-004 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: When handling items 
SCP-004-2 through SCP-004-13, proper procedure is vital. The 
items are not permitted to be moved off-site unless accompanied by 
two Level 4 security personnel. Under no circumstances should any 
other component of SCP-004 be taken through SCP-004-1. The 
effects of doing so are as yet unknown, and the current cost of 
experimentation makes further research impractical. Should any of 
the objects contained within SCP-004-1 breach containment, or the 
facility be breached, the keys must be brought inside and the door 
closed prior to activation of Site 62’s on-site warhead. Unauthorized 
removal of keys from the testing area is grounds for immediate 
termination. 


Level 1 clearance is required for basic access to SCP-004-1; Level 4 
clearance is required for use of SCP-004-2 to -13. 


Description: SCP-004 consists of an old wooden barn door 
(SCP-004-1) and a set of twelve rusted steel keys (SCP-004-2 
through SCP-004-13). The door itself is the entrance to an 
abandoned factory in [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Chronological History 


07/02/1949: A group of three juveniles trespassing on federal 
property near find the door. According to their testimony, they 
found a set of rusted keys in an iron lockbox and determined what 
door the keys unlock. The juveniles are taken into custody after they 
contact Sheriff when one of their friends (SCP-004- 
CAS01) goes missing. 


07/03/1949: Local authorities find the severed right hand of 


SCP-004-CAS01 eight kilometers from SCP-004-1. Other parts of 
SCP-004-CAS01's body are found scattered as far as 32 km from 
the factory. Under interrogation, the apprehended juveniles tell 
authorities that upon opening the door with one of the keys, 
SCP-004-CAS01 was torn into several pieces, each of which 
disappeared. At this point, the SCP Foundation takes over the 
investigation. 


07/04/1949: SCP Agent obtains the keys from the local 
authorities to begin testing. Tests show that SCP-004-2 through 
SCP-004-13 all fit into a single lock on the large barred door. 12 
Class D personnel are assigned to test the effects of the door. Of 
the twelve test subjects each trying a different key to enter the room, 
only two survive. Opening the door with any key except SCP-004-7 
or SCP-004-12 caused the test subjects to be torn apart in multiple 
directions; however, no dismembered parts were found until later. At 
the time of writing, only two parts of each subject have been 
recovered (with the exception of the subject using SCP-004- , whose 
pieces were scattered in close proximity). The others have, for all 
intents and purposes, vanished from existence. 


Of the two surviving subjects, only one (having used SCP-004-7) 
returned unharmed. The other came back in a near-catatonic state, 
able only to remove himself from the room and then collapse on the 
floor, and had to be restrained to prevent him from gouging out his 
eyes (see Appendix A: Mental Health Effects of SCP-004). The 
subject using SCP-004-7 said that he had entered a large room, 
impossibly big for the size of the attached building. After his exit, 
SCP-004-1 was propped open and an armed squad of Level 3 
personnel entered. The size of the room is impossible to measure 
and the door frame and the individuals in the room are the only part 
of the room that can be felt or illuminated. 


07/16/1949: The juvenile suspects and Sheriff are 
terminated. 
08/02/1949: is declared a hazardous area "due to 


unexploded ordnance" and fences erected in order to prevent 
civilian ingress. Tests to determine safety of exposure to 
environment behind SCP-004-1 begin. 


12/01/1950: Space-time anomalies resulting from exposure to 
SCP-004 are confirmed. Testing is suspended until further notice. 


07/02/19 : The unaccounted-for remains of SCP-004-CAS01 
appear unexpectedly outside SCP-004-1. Despite being killed 
decades before, the remains of SCP-004-CAS01 are not 
decomposed in any manner and are still warm to the touch. Blood 
remains uncoagulated. The remains are remanded for testing. 


07/04/19 : The unaccounted-for remains of one of the twelve (12) 
original test subjects appear in similar manner to those of SCP-004- 
CAS01. The remains have been designated SCP-004-CAS02. 
Records suggest that both SCP-004-CAS01 and CAS02 used 
SCP-004- . 


03/21/1999: With the massive proliferation of nuclear weapons and 
World War Ill only years away, construction has begun on a site 
inside SCP-004-1. The site is to stock supplies for person-days. 


04/21/1999: has ordered the site inside SCP-004-1 to be 
expanded to include emergency storage for all mobile SCP- 
specimens anda _ -petabyte database for the storage of all SCP 
data. The facility is now referred to as Site-62. 


09/25/2000: Site-62 is operational. Labs and containment units are 
complete and can contain the most dangerous specimens. Backup 
of the SCP database has begun. 


01/25/2001: Due to time anomalies (see “Space-Time Anomalies” 
below), all personnel working at Site-62 are now required to reside 
on-site permanently. Families of personnel are to be informed that 
loved ones perished in an industrial accident. Cloned bodies have 
been prepared for funeral. 


08/14/2003: Massive power outage across Northeast United States 
and through Canada. Due to the initial failure of multiple SCP 
generators, Site-62 was without power for fifty-three (53) minutes. 
During those fifty-three (53) minutes, those on site were completely 
without any source of light. They reported "sensing" creatures and 
people, although no abnormal entities could be seen or felt. 
Selected facility personnel were allowed to read (Appendix 


A) and said the creatures "sensed" were of humanoid size but 
otherwise similar to the massive green creature described. 


Space-Time Anomalies 


SCP-004 seems to propagate spatiotemporal anomalies. Personnel 
leaving the facility report losing time. Those who have been in the 
site for weeks insist that they had only been in the facility for several 
days, and records of work completed and supplies consumed 
support their claims. Other temporal anomalies involve SCP-004-2 
through -13, especially the reappearance of SCP-004-CAS01 and 
SCP-004-CAS02 exactly years after using SCP-004- . 

has been assigned to investigate all aspects of these 
time anomalies. Spatial anomalies include the impossibly large 
dimensions of the area opened by SCP-004-7. Similarly, the 2003 
blackout incident suggests that there exists an alternate plane of 
existence within the same space that Site-62 occupies. 


Additional Notes 


Testing on SCP-004 reveals that ten of the keys open SCP-004-1 on 
a dimension where the laws of physics and topology are significantly 
different than those of our home dimension. Test subjects meeting 
these hostile conditions are torn apart, their body parts deposited in 
various locations, only three of which have been verified to be on 
Earth. Material deposited at two of these points appears 
immediately; material deposited at the third appears exactly years 
into the future. The other seven locations are currently unknown. 


Current testing focuses on two avenues of research. The first is 
finding ways to survive SCP-004’s hostile topologies. The second 
[DATA EXPUNGED] suggest that SCP-004-2 through -13 may open 
doors other than SCP-004-1. 


Appendix A: Mental Health Effects of SCP-004-12 
All Class D personnel using SCP-004-12 return in a catatonic state, 


unable to speak. Some may have enough energy left to try to claw 
out their eyes. Of the 16 subjects, only 4 have survived. Only one 


has regained speech, following long-term psychotherapy. He was 
able to tell the psychiatrist that he saw a massive green creature, so 
large that much of its body extended beyond his field of view. He 
reported innate fear and sudden recognition, “as if it were something 
buried deep in [his] primal fears,” and forced implantation of 
“incomprehensible” memories. Subject displays acute anterograde 
and retrograde amnesia. 


Appendix B: Additional Information 


Item #: SCP-004-14 
Date of Discovery: 09/02/1950 


Origin of Object: Object was discovered elsewhere in factory area, 
in the previously undiscovered manager's office. 


Description: Object appears as a large, unvarnished wooden box. 
The box may be unlocked by the "safe" key, SCP-004-7, as well as 
five of the "unsafe" keys (see Document SCP-004-1). 


Upon unlocking SCP-004-14 with SCP-004-7, the box opens 
automatically on hinges. The volume of the space inside is precisely 
five times greater than the outer dimensions imply. Items placed 
within while the lid remains open do not affect the weight or any 
other properties of the box. When the lid is closed and locked, 
however, all items inside vanish irretrievably. Personnel locked 
inside the box are also irretrievable, although losing personnel in this 
fashion appears to affect significantly the dreams experienced by 
[DATA EXPUNGED].

SCP-005: Skeleton Key 


Item #: SCP-005 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-005 poses no immediate 
risk in any direct sense. Even so, its unique functions require special 
measures be taken to restrict access and manipulation of the object. 
Approval of at least one (1) Level 4 personnel is required for the 
removal of the object from its containment area. 


Description: In appearance, SCP-005 resembles an ornate key, 
displaying the characteristics of a typical mass produced key used in 
the 1920s. The key was discovered when a civilian used it to 
infiltrate a high security facility. SCP-005 seems to have the unique 
ability to open any and all forms of lock (See Appendix A), be they 
mechanical or digital, with relative ease. The origin of this ability has 
yet to be determined. 


Additional Notes: SCP-005 may be used as a replacement for lost 
security passes, but only under the supervision of at least one (1) 
Level 4 personnel. SCP-005 may not be used for vending machine 
repairs, opening lockers, or for any personnel's spare home key. 
Removal of the object from the compound will result in immediate 
termination. 


Appendix A: While SCP-005 has been shown to be effective in 
removing almost any form of locking device, further experiments 
have shown that efforts to disguise the purpose or identity of a lock 
have proven at least somewhat successful in defeating SCP-005's 
ability. In approximately 50% of cases where a volunteer was not 
able to identify a locking device as such, SCP-005 was not 
successful in deactivating the device. Due to these results, SCP-005 
has been tentatively classified as 'sentient' and further tests are 
being run to determine its cognitive abilities. However, there are no 
results that show any traits that prevent it from being able to identify 


any particular locking device, only that the aforementioned device 
has been heavily concealed and disguised.

SCP-006: Fountain of Youth 


Under direct orders of the founder, access 
is limited to those with Overseer 
clearance. 


Overseer Clearance Granted 
Item #: SCP-006 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Whereas the nature of 
SCP-006 does not warrant any extensive containment, a certain 
level of secrecy is necessary regarding the object's existence and 
properties, for obvious reasons. The following procedures are 
required not for personnel safety, but to deny or hide knowledge of 
SCP-006's effects from the personnel who interact with it. 


1: All personnel interacting with SCP-006 in any physical way are 
required to wear modified class VI BNC suits. Before personnel are 
allowed to perform procedures, they must be briefed with Material 
SCP-006B or SCP-006C. SCP-006A Briefing is the correct one and 
is restricted to only those with O5 clearance. To assure personnel 
are wearing suits properly, they are to be submerged into a pool of 
water. Any air bubbles spotted signify a leak in the suit. 


2: Procedures with SCP-006 are to be carried out under extreme 
surveillance. In case of contact with SCP-006, the commander in 
charge will announce Procedure 006-Xi-12, which the personnel 
have been briefed to believe to mean high toxicity is present and 
they must evacuate. 


3: Any procedure in which liquid is acquired from SCP-006 must be 
approved by three (3) O5 level personnel. The liquid is to be 


transferred in a Quad-Sealant Container and under armed guard. 


4: lf at any time personnel come into contact with SCP-006 or liquid 
from SCP-006, they are to be confined and terminated after 
sufficient studies are done. Due to the nature of SCP-006, the most 
effective termination method is incineration. (For full report, see file 
SCPO006-TerO5) 


Description: SCP-006 is a very small spring located 60 km west of 
Astrakhan. Foundation Command was aware of its existence since 
the 19th century, but were unable to secure it until 1991 due to 
political reasons. On the spot of the spring, a chemical factory has 
been constructed as a disguise, with the majority of laborers under 
Foundation and/or Russian control. The liquid emitted from the 
spring has been chemically identified as simple mineral water in 
1902, but has the unusual property of "health". 


Ingesting the liquid produces the following properties in human 
beings: the ability to regenerate DNA damaged by sufficient 
duplication, heightened excitement of cellular duplication, vastly 
improved abilities in the repair of damaged tissue, and a frightening 
increase in the effectiveness of the human immune system. Upon 
testing the liquid on animal subjects, hostile bacteria and viral 
agents were destroyed immediately. Many reptiles and birds were 
unaffected, while higher primates experienced the same benefits as 
humans.

SCP-007: Abdominal Planet 


Item #: SCP-007 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-007 is to be contained ina 
sealed room measuring 10 m on each side. Room is to be furnished 
comfortably as a living area, along with whatever items are 
requested by (hereafter referred to as Subject), given that 
providing Subject with requested items would not compromise 
security. Subject is not to be allowed to leave the room, and is to be 
detained with force if necessary. 


Description: SCP-007 is located within a cavity in the abdomen of 
Subject. Subject is a Caucasian male, physically approximately 25 
years of age (subject claims to be 28) and 176 cm in height. Most of 
Subject's abdomen (muscles, skin, and organs) is absent, though 
Subject does not appear to suffer because of this. Instead of normal 
flesh, a sohere composed of soil and water is present, though it 
does not actually come into contact with Subject's body at any point. 
The sphere appears to be in most respects a miniature near- 
duplicate of the Earth, approximately 60 cm in diameter, although 
continental alignment is not consistent with that of any alignment 
known in Earth's history. Sphere has its own weather patterns and 
negligible gravitational pull, in addition to microscopic organisms 
somewhat resembling those of modern-day Earth inhabiting it. Two 
intelligent species have been observed, though contact and 
communication with either has yet to be made. Technology levels of 
observed species must be checked at least once a week and, as of 
/, are approximately equal to that of 15th-Century Earth. 


Subject claims to be named , but no records of such a 
person can be found. Subject does not require food or water, and 
while he has been observed consuming both, what happens to such 
substances after being swallowed is unknown. Subject is intelligent 
(l1Q has been measured at 128) and amiable, and regards the planet 


in his abdomen as a minor curiosity about his body. Subject seems 
to experience no stress about his unusual condition. When 
questioned about planet's origins, Subject replied, "I just woke up 
one day, and there it was. | don't have any idea how it got there." 
Subject has provided a Social Security number and driver's license 
number and requested that they be checked against known records. 
When checked, it was discovered that neither had yet been 
allocated. 


Dr. has a weekly chess game with Subject, during which 
Subject's mental health is evaluated. Dr. reports that Subject 
does not seem to mind the restricted living environment, and has yet 
to attempt to escape or show signs of violence or mental illness, 
though he has repeatedly requested a computer with an internet 
connection. It is recommended that this not be provided as it may be 
used to compromise security.

SCP-008: Zombie Plague 


BY ORDER OF THE 
OVERSEER COUNCIL 


THIS FILE IS SUBJECT TO LEVEL 
4 CLASSIFICATION 


== LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE 
IS REQUIRED == 


- Please input security credentials - 
Item #: SCP-008 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-008 samples 
have been deemed Class V extreme biological hazards, 
and all related protocols apply. Incineration and 
irradiation measures will be deployed in the event of 
political or military action which may result in the facility 
being dismantled; a power failure; or zero 
communications from operatives or outside channels 
during any given eight hour period. 


The quarantine period for operatives leaving the facility is 
four months. If a breach has occurred, incineration and 
irradiation measures shall be deployed. It should be the 


policy of all G2 sites to not prepare an evacuation 
procedure. 


Description: SCP-008 is a complex prion, samples of 
which are stored in each of the known G2 sites. 
Research into SCP-008 is highly classified and primarily 
aimed at preventing research which may lead to the 
synthesis of SCP-008 in the distant future. Traits of the 
SCP-008 prion include: 


* 100% infectiousness. 

* 100% lethality. 

¢ Transmission through exposed mucous 
membranes and all bodily fluids. 

¢ Not airborne or waterborne. 


Symptoms of infection with SCP-008 manifest no more 
than three hours after exposure, and include: 


¢ Flu-like symptoms with high fever, plus severe 
dementia in later stages. 
* Coma onset approximately 20 hours after first 
symptoms appear and 12 hours after noticeable 
dementia. Coma onset will be considered onset of 
death. 
A period of sporadic cellular necrosis occurs which 
comes to resemble gangrene. Surviving tissue 
assumes its original function and is highly resilient. 
¢ Red blood cells greatly increase oxygen storage 
capacity, resulting in slower blood flow and 
increased muscle endurance and strength. 
Nervous and muscular systems are unaffected by 
total organ failure for several hours. 
¢ Metabolism may decrease to extremely low levels, 
allowing subject to survive for over 10 years 
without nutrition. 
High blood viscosity results in negligible blood flow 
from gunshot, puncture, and slashing injuries. 
Conditioned behavior, motor controls, and 
instinctive behavioral mechanisms are damaged, 
and cognitive abilities are severely retarded and 


erratic. Animals experience excessive brain 
necrosis and are inactive. 
¢ Subject can adapt to its damaged nervous 
systems but is limited to basic physical activities, 
including standing up, balancing on two legs, 
walking, biting, grabbing, and crawling. Subject will 
energetically move towards sights, sounds, and 
smells it associates with living humans. Subject 
will attempt to ingest living humans if physical 
contact is made. 
Neutralizing fully-infected subjects requires 
significant cranial trauma. 


There is strong evidence to suggest SCP-008 itself did 
not form naturally on Earth, since variants of similar 
complexity would have displaced much of the 
ecosystem. In 1959, a short collaborative effort with the 
USSR to locate G2 sites and eliminate SCP-008 was 
negotiated following their discovery. The status of 
SCP-008 in Russian custody since collaboration ended 
is unknown. 


Addendum 008-1: SCP-500 has been found to be able 
to completely cure SCP-008 even in the advanced 
stages of the disease. 


« SCP-007 | SCP-008 | SCP-009 » 


SCP-009: Red Ice 


Item #: SCP-009 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Subject is to be contained 
within a sealed storage tank of heat-resistant alloy with dimensions 
not less than 14 m3. 


Under no circumstances should SCP-009 be exposed to 
temperatures in excess of 0°C when not undergoing testing, and no 
mundane liquids in a solid state (especially frozen water) shall be 
allowed within 30 meters of the subject's containment area. 
Subject's chamber is to be fitted with temperature sensors which 
shall be monitored at all times, and is to be kept refrigerated by no 
fewer than three (3) redundant cooling units. Any malfunction of 
sensors, or of coolant systems, is to be reported and repaired 
immediately. 


If at any time the temperature in the containment area climbs above 
-5°C, the chamber is to be locked down immediately, and flooded 
with coolant until the temperature has been brought back down to 
between -30°C and -25°C. Atmosphere must be evacuated from the 
containment area when personnel are present within, and any water 
vapor present must be filtered and kept in the same conditions as 
detailed herein for no fewer than 24 hours. Any vapor displaying 
properties of SCP-009 is to be quarantined and added to the 
containment area as soon as possible. 


All personnel interacting with or observing the subject must wear full 
environmental protection suits. All personnel leaving the 
containment chamber must undergo dehydration of all gear, 
research materials, and other objects contacting SCP-009's 
chamber. If contamination is discovered, no material or personnel 
shall be permitted to exit, and a Level 2 lock-down of the 
containment area shall commence. Lethal force is authorized in 


cases of dire need, but all security forces are strongly advised to 
remain as far away from their targets as possible, to minimize the 
chance of contact with fluids contaminated by SCP-009. 


Description: SCP-009 is approximately 3,700 liters of a substance 
which exhibits a number of unique properties. While small amounts 
of the substance, in all phases, are as colorless as mundane water, 
en masse it takes on a distinct deep red hue. 


Its most notable property, however, is the fact that SCP-009's 
reaction to temperature extremes is exactly opposite that of 
standard H2O: the subject assumes a liquid phase at temperatures 
between -100°C and 0°C, and converts into a solid state above 
those temperatures. At temperatures below -100°C, SCP-009 
vaporizes into a gaseous phase similar to steam, though it still 
retains its red coloration when put under high pressure. 


Examinations of the atomic structure of SCP-009 have proved 
inconclusive. Tests indicate that the subject is composed of the 
same combination of hydrogen and oxygen as normal water, leaving 
researchers to speculate that the source of the subject's 
abnormalities may be the atoms themselves. Dr. has suggested 
that the subject may have originated in or been altered by another 
reality in which the laws of physics are inverted. 


This theory may have some merit in light of SCP-009's marked 
ability to "assimilate" natural water into its mass. If placed in physical 
contact with any aqueous solution (be it ice, salt water, or water 
vapor in air), SCP-009 will "spread" and contaminate any H2O in 
said solution, causing it to exhibit the subject's properties. Though 
this capacity is present in all phases, it has been observed to 
progress most slowly (and thus be most containable) in the liquid 
phase. 


If the subject comes in contact with any biological source of heat, it 
begins a runaway reaction in which the living organism's bodily 
fluids are rapidly converted to SCP-009 and promptly frozen by their 
own body heat (because of their generally high core temperatures, 
mammals are particularly susceptible). Because SCP-009 produces 
heat while freezing (at the same rate mundane ice consumes heat 
while melting), the process is self-perpetuating until all available 


moisture is converted, or until it is halted by external interference. 


Experiments on D-Class personnel have illustrated the process of 
conversion by the subject, which has been condensed down to a 
series of steps: 


1. Initial Exposure: Subject is exposed to SCP-009, and it begins 
converting any water present on the exposed surface (usually skin) 
to exhibit its properties. Presence of mist, fog, snow, or other solid or 
vaporous water greatly accelerates this process. 


2. Surface Conversion: A thin layer of frost forms on the exposed 
area as body heat and heat produced by SCP-009 raise its 
temperature above freezing. Progression to this step can take 
anywhere from five (5) minutes to one (1) hour, depending on 
victim's body temperature. At this stage, freezing has begun 
progressing through the initial layers of the epidermis and soon 
reaches live cells. 


3. Deep Tissue Conversion: Exponential increase in temperature of 
SCP-009 causes expansion of ice crystals throughout the victim's 
body, resulting in widespread perforation of internal cell structure. 
Actual blood loss is minimal at this stage due to the crystals filling 
the puncture wounds, allowing subjects to remain alive and 
conscious for up to hours. 


4. [DATA EXPUNGED] 


5. Death: Multiple organ failure and exsanguination via systemic 
crystallization. 


Testing on D-Class personnel was discontinued as of 4/23/20 . 


Addendum: Circumstances of Retrieval: Subject was foundin_, 
Alaska, on 11/05/19 . The Foundation became involved after 
reports were obtained from the native ‘Tribe, who came across 
the mangled bodies of a team of seal hunters which had apparently 
been ship-wrecked kilometers from the village. 


All victims were found encased in red ice. Cause of death recorded 
as internal bleeding. On victims whose features were sufficiently 


intact, expressions of panic and intense pain were observed. It is 
surmised that the low ambient temperatures in the area retarded the 
freezing process. This prolonged the time to total conversion by 
hours, and allowed the victims to remain conscious until [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


Addendum: 12/16/20 


Super-cooling of SCP-009 for the purposes of experimentation is 
disallowed until further notice. Personnel are advised that liquid 
nitrogen is only to be used on the subject in controlled amounts, and 
only until temperatures have reached acceptable levels. 


Related note: Possible application of SCP-009 in cold fusion 
research pending evaluation.

SCP-010: Collars of Control 


Item #: SCP-010 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The objects comprising 
SCP-010 are to be kept in numbered locked boxes in a high security 
facility. They are not to be worn except by test subjects. 


SCP-010 are only to be removed from storage for testing. 


Description: SCP-010 consists of a series of six (6) apparently 
identical cast iron collars with numbered metal tags and one (1) 
remote control. The control is SCP-010-1. The collars are 
SCP-010-2 through 010-7. The collars contain intricate electronic 
components and are powered by small (5 mm diameter, 2 mm thick) 
100 V batteries. These batteries are rechargeable. 


The remote is a heavy black box resembling an old style hand-held 
radio transmitter/receiver with a primitive blue/white cathode ray 
screen and a series of more than 100 unlabeled buttons, as well as 
a frequency tuner. Through trial and error, the frequencies of all six 
(6) currently found collars have been discovered. A label in Russian 
is stamped into the metal along with a logo consisting of workers 
building a pyramid. No official Russian corporation or government 
agency uses this logo or matches the words stamped into the metal. 


Placing the collar around the neck of a person and securing it allows 
one to control their every movement with the remote. It is also 
capable of producing an adrenal response and activating or 
deactivating the sympathetic nervous system. The most abnormal 
feature of the collars is the effect they have on the body morphology. 
They allow the user of the remote to reconfigure the shape of the 
victim to an extent that is apparently only limited by the knowledge 
of the programming language of the remote. 


Addendum 010-1: History 


SCP-010 was discovered in the basement of a lone man in the 
Midwestern United States after a local disappearance was 
connected to him. When the police raided the man's house they 
found SCP-010 as well as several dead bodies. One of the bodies 
was identified to be the man. The others were several other missing 
persons. Cause of death seemed to be mass suicide; however, 
there were signs of significant struggle first. 


Addendum 010-2: Disassemble experiment 


Test 1: SCP-010-2 taken apart piecewise, the parts labeled and 
several photographs taken, then reassembled. 
Result: After reassembly SCP-010-2 continues to function. 


Test 2: SCP-010-8 constructed identically to SCP-010-2 but with the 
closest approximations available to the unreplicable components. 
Result: SCP-010-8 fails to function. 


Test 3: Unreplicable components from SCP-010-2 placed into 
proper locations on SCP-010-8. 

Result: SCP-010-2 ceases functioning with removal of components. 
SCP-010-8 begins functioning. 


Test 4: Components returned to SCP-010-2. Replicable components 
in SCP-010-2 replaced randomly with replicas 

Result: SCP-010-2 begins functioning with return of components. 
Changing replicable components for replicas does not significantly 
reduce functionality. Replacement of a damaged transistor 
decreased time from transmission to effect of SCP-010-2 response 
to commands entered in the remote by 12%. 


Addendum 010-3: 
SCP-010 has been demonstrated to work more effectively in 


creating unskilled labor than for any other task. The logo is apt. ~ Dr.

SCP-011: Sentient Civil War Memorial Statue 


Item #: SCP-011 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Item SCP-011 and the area 
surrounding it are to be cleaned once every day. For safety 
purposes, cleaning should start at least 30 minutes after sundown. 
Cleaning should always be performed by at least two (2) personnel, 
who are also advised to note anything unusual about the item or the 
debris cleaned up. In a situation where the item cannot be cleaned 
for more than two (2) days, local residents must be contacted and 
instructed not to approach the item. 


[Containment procedures nullified 2004] 


Description: SCP-011 is a Civil War memorial statue located in 
Woodstock, Vermont. The statue is the image of a young male 
soldier holding a musket at his side, and is carved out of granite 
quarried within the area. Occasionally, SCP-011 has been observed 
lifting its musket to the sky to fire at birds which attempt to land or 
defecate on it. Reports detail that its movements produce soft 
grinding sounds but do not cause it any structural failure. Oddly, the 
gunfire is very similar to that of a standard firearm, despite 
observations that the item only loads granite bullets and granite 
powder into the musket (which is also unharmed by the firing). In 
spite of its efforts, some fecal matter does manage to strike 
SCP-011, and it has reportedly become distressed when it has had 
a large amount of feces on it, on some rare occasions even firing at 
humans. 


Addendum: Those assigned to maintain SCP-011 are to see 
document #011-1 for instructions. 


Document #011-1: Maintenance Brief 


[Document archived 2004 - accessible to personnel with security 
clearance 2/011 or higher] 


Additional Information: SCP-011's seeming sentience has increased 
since the first report of activity in 1995. As of 2004, the item's 
containment procedures have been dropped but it remains under 
constant observation. Recorded below are landmark events in its 
activity.

SCP-012: A Bad Composition 


Item #: SCP-012 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-012 is to be kept ina 
darkened room at all times. If the object is exposed to light or seen 
by personnel using a light frequency other than infrared, remove 
personnel for mental health screening and immediate physical. 
Object is to be encased in an iron-shielded box, suspended from the 
ceiling with a minimum clearance of 2.5 m (8 ft) from the floor, walls, 
and any openings. 


Description: SCP-012 was retrieved by Archaeologist K.M. 
Sandoval during the excavation of a northern Italian tomb destroyed 
in a recent storm. The object, a piece of handwritten musical score 
entitled "On Mount Golgotha", part of a larger set of sheet music, 
appears to be incomplete. The red/black ink, first thought to be 
some form of berry or natural dye ink, was later found to be human 
blood from multiple subjects. The first personnel to locate the sheet 
(Site 19 Special Salvage) had two (2) members descend into 
insanity, attempting to use their own blood to finish the composition, 
ultimately resulting in massive blood loss and internal trauma. 


Following initial investigations, multiple test subjects were allowed 
access to the score. In every case, the subjects mutilated 
themselves in order to use their own blood to finish the piece, 
resulting in subsequent symptoms of psychosis and massive 
trauma. Those subjects who managed to finish a section of the 
piece immediately committed suicide, declaring the piece to be 
"impossible to complete". Attempts to perform the music have 
resulted in a disagreeable cacophony, with each instrumental part 
having no correlation or harmony with the other instruments.

SCP-013: Blue Lady Cigarettes 


SCP-013 


Item #: SCP-013 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-013 are to be kept ina 
Secure Storage Vault at Site-66. Exposed subjects are to be 
monitored for differences between their symptoms. Exposed 
subjects are to be interviewed daily, and any changes in perception 
are to be logged. 


Description: SCP-013 is the collective designation of 242 cigarettes 
which display similar anomalies. The most common external detail 
between instances is the presence of the words “Blue Lady” hand- 
written on each cigarette in blue ink. 


Subjects who consume the contents of SCP-013 through inhalation 
will begin to perceive themselves as a specific unidentified woman. 

Subjects have described the woman to be aged between 25 and 35 
years old, standing approximately 1.6 metres tall with an estimated 

weight of between 50 and 55 kg. Additional recurring details include 
cropped dark hair, blue eyes, and bright blue lipstick. 


Immediately after consuming an instance of SCP-013, subjects will 
gradually begin to perceive reflections of themselves as having the 
features of the woman, and will gradually perceive their bodies 
changing to reflect her appearance over the course of the following 
weeks. All changes are entirely mental; the subject’s body does not 
change outwardly, only their perception of themselves. These 
alterations are permanent, and cannot be reversed. 


SCP-013 was discovered after the suicide of an lan Miles, packed in 
a large cardboard crate in his apartment. A cursory search of the 
apartment uncovered several hundred sketches of a figure strongly 
resembling the one perceived while under 013's effect. Miles' body 


had been found sitting at a desk, dead of a massive overdose and 
draped over a handwritten note, transcribed below. 


During the investigation of Miles' apartment, one civilian investigator 
became affected by 013's effect. An embedded Agent soon 
contacted the nearest Site; the subject, the artifact, and related 
evidence were extracted and contained. 


Currently, two hundred seventeen instances of SCP-013 cigarettes 
are contained at Bio-Site 66; twenty-five SCP-013 cigarettes are 
contained at Research Sector-09, pending future research into 
similar anomalous effects. 


Addendum: Below is the note which was acquired along with 
SCP-013.

SCP-014: The Concrete Man 


Item #: SCP-014 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-014 is to be kept in Site- , 
in a chair with arms, preferably facing a window. Music should be 
supplied on a regular basis, preferably constantly. This music should 
not include pieces originating after 1937. A security camera should 
be present in SCP-014's room. 


Description: SCP-014 is a Caucasian male, appearing to be 
approximately 30 years of age, with black hair, brown eyes, anda 
somewhat round face. Records indicate his name to be Robert 
Chetford, confined in 1915 to the Norwich Asylum in Connecticut for 
delusional insanity, claiming that he had been cursed to live forever, 
and was slowly turning into concrete in consequence. The asylum 
closed in 1937, and the patients were transferred to various other 
facilities. SCP-014 came to Foundation attention in 19 , from 
rumours of a patient who seemed to be entirely immobile and 
showed no signs of aging. Further investigation determined that 
acquisition was warranted. 


SCP-014 is to all outward appearances a normal man, but he does 
not appear to age, and shows no signs of possessing a metabolism. 
He does not eat, drink, perspire, or in any other way demonstrate life 
functions. He breathes only to speak, and apart from his eyes and 
vocal apparatus, is to all appearances utterly immobile. He has 
never shown any evidence of pressure ulcers despite his position 
not having varied for several decades; neither do his muscles 
appear atrophied. He can converse normally, but shows little 
knowledge of or interest in events since his confinement. 


Addendum: 
Note: Frankly, were | to interview this man without knowing his 
history, I'd think he was a perfectly sane and well-adjusted individual 


who happens to be quadriplegic. As it is, | have to conclude that he's 
the ultimate proof of the idea that the mind rules the body. He thinks 
he's concrete, and will live forever, and so he's as close to both as 
he can be. Somehow. Dr.

SCP-015: Pipe Nightmare 


Item #: SCP-015 


Interior View of SCP-015 


Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-015 is impossible to 
move, and is contained on-site. A gap of at least 2 m (6 ft) needs to 
be maintained around the entire structure containing SCP-015 at all 
times, and no structures of any kind are to make contact with 
SCP-015's current containment structure. Exploration is permissible, 
but only in teams of three (3) with full safety lines and GPS tracking. 
Any protrusions from SCP-015 must be capped and sealed 
immediately, with the new site recorded and logged. 


No aggressive action is to be made within SCP-015. No hand or 
power tools are allowed anywhere inside SCP-015. No repairs or 
maintenance are to be made anywhere on SCP-015. 


Description: SCP-015 is a mass of pipes, vents, boilers and other 
various plumbing apparatus completely filling a warehouse in 

The pipes appear to grow when not under observation, attempting to 
connect to nearby structures via sewer systems and underground 
plumbing. SCP-015 contains, at current estimate, over 190 
kilometers (120 miles) of pipes, ranging in diameter from 2.5 cm to 
over 1 m. Some pipes appear new, while others are rusted and 
leaking. Pipes have been reported as being made of bone, wood, 
steel, pressed ash, human flesh, glass, and granite. No pipes 
composed of lead, PVC plastic, copper, or any other traditional 
material for the production of pipes have been found. 


SCP-015 reacts to tools and aggression. Any personnel acting 
violently, carrying tools, or attempting to damage or repair SCP-015 
in any way, will trigger a reaction. Any pipes near the subject will 
burst, spraying on the subject for several seconds before the flow 


suddenly stops. Pipes have been reported containing oil, mercury, 
rats, a species of insect not yet identified, ground glass, sea water, 
entrails, and molten iron. Pipes will continue to burst around the 
subject until death or retreat. 


SCP-015 was cut back to its current structure after attaching to 11 
other structures in the area. Currently, 11 personnel have been 
killed, and 20 more are still missing. Reports have been made of 
banging and screaming coming from within SCP-015.

SCP-016: Sentient Micro-Organism 


Item #: SCP-016 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-016 is to remain within the 
confines of a five by five by five (5x5x5) meter room at all times, 
maintained at a temperature not to exceed zero (0) degrees Celsius. 
SCP-016 itself is to remain in the petri dish in the containment cube 
at all times unless directed otherwise by Level 4 or O5 personnel. 
Full documentation of experimentation with SCP-016 must be 
submitted before and after samples and duplicates of SCP-016 may 
be taken. Failure to follow these procedures will result in termination 
or reassignment as Class-D Personnel. Only authorized personnel 
may be permitted to obtain samples of and experiment with 
SCP-016 under BC-L5 containment conditions. 


If an outbreak does occur despite following the aforementioned 
procedures, directive base personnel are to implement a Code 
Sigma lockdown and containment plan. Infected personnel are to be 
terminated on site by security forces wearing standard Mission 
Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) anti-biological and anti- 
chemical equipment. Should the infection not be contained after 48 
hours, the on-site nuclear device is to be detonated. Remaining 
personnel are not to be evacuated under any circumstances. 


SCP-016 has been shown to survive for up to six (6) hours on hard 
surfaces, and up to several minutes in air. High intensity ultraviolet 
light and high concentrations of ortho-phthalaldehyde solution have 
been demonstrated to be effective in disinfecting non-organic 
surfaces. 


Description: SCP-016 is a blood-borne pathogen recovered from a 
mine worker in who injured himself while working in a deep coal 
seam. Said wound became contaminated with coal dust from the 
mine, possibly infecting the worker with dormant spores. Over the 


next several days, SCP-016 proceeded to infect the remaining 
employees at the mining camp, as well as the CDC crisis team 
dispatched to deal with the epidemic. Foundation personnel then 
took over the investigation and terminated all affected personnel. 
Patient Zero was brought into captivity, and the mine shaft was 
collapsed by explosive device. 


SCP-016 has an incubation period ranging from 24 hours to two (2) 
years, depending on the presence and number of other human 
hosts in the area. First symptoms resemble the common cold, and 
include itchy eyes, runny nose, coughing, and bodily aches. Phase 
two begins in 48 hours, and consists of a controlled form of 
hemorrhagic fever, as the organism causes a small amount of blood 
to become aspirated in the lungs, creating an aerosol effect. During 
phase three, the host "crashes and bleeds out," bleeding profusely 
from every bodily orifice, including the nose, tear ducts, anus, skin 
pores, mouth, urethra, and (in case of females) vagina. Blood 
pressure skyrockets during the final stage: hosts have been 
observed projectile vomiting blood to distances of over five (5) 
meters. Should the host survive this near-total exsanguination, the 
pathogen will become dormant once more, returning to incubation 
phase. 


What distinguishes SCP-016 from other strains of hemorrhagic fever 
such as Ebola and Marburg is its unusual response to high stress. 
Should the subject undergo a high-stress situation (such as a life- 
threatening crisis), the organism will change its survival tactic from 
rapid reproduction to the rewriting of the host's DNA and stimulation 
of rapid cell division. Major physiological changes occur within the 
first 24 hours, with complete bodily reconstruction occurring within 
two (2) weeks time. Most hosts do not survive the process due to 
the heavy demands made on the body.! 


An interesting side effect of the transformation is an increased 
aggressive urge. It is believed that this may be an attempt to 
maximize the spread of the virus in a manner similar to rabies. On 
another note, subjects who undergo bodily transformation no longer 
appear to exhibit SCP-016's hemorrhagic properties: however, 
subjects infected by transformed hosts will still undergo the normal 
SCP-016 infection process. 


Addendum: Experiment Log of SCP-016's Transformative 
Properties 


¢ Subject D-016-1: D-Class personnel infected by SCP-016. 
Upon first showing symptoms, subject's quarters were slowly 
flooded with water over a 24 hour period. SCP-016 mutated 
into teratomorphic state, transforming subject's lungs into gills. 
Subject survived for two (2) more weeks as SCP-016 
transformed its limbs into fins, caused its eyes to atrophy, and 
enhanced its sense of hearing into a cetacean-type 
echolocation ability. Subject was terminated by draining all 
water from its quarters, causing it to asphyxiate: body was 
subsequently cremated without autopsy. 


Subject D-016-2: D-Class personnel infected by SCP-016. 
Upon first showing symptoms, subject's quarters were slowly 
flooded with water over a 24 hour period. SCP-016 mutated 
into teratomorphic state, causing subject to undergo rapid 
muscular growth and increased bone growth on knuckles. 
Subject then attempted to escape from confinement by 
punching through the reinforced steel door. Subject was not 
successful and died by drowning. 


Note: Same situation, two different responses. Interesting. - Dr. 


Subject D-016-3: D-Class personnel infected by SCP-016. 
Subject was previously a chemical engineer who poisoned his 
wife upon discovering her adultery. Upon first showing 
symptoms, subject's quarters were slowly flooded with water 
over a 24 hour period. SCP-016 mutated into teratomorphic 
state, causing subject to grow an unusual organ on his chest, 
consisting of a chamber and two (2) separate tubes. Organ 
continued to take in water and swell in size, until Foundation 
personnel, realizing what SCP-016 may be attempting, 
terminated the subject by gunshot. Organ was found to 
contain several gas sacs filled with acetylene gas and oxygen. 


Subject D-016-4: D-Class personnel infected by SCP-016. 
Subject was told to concentrate on forming wings. No stress 
was applied. SCP-016 did not mutate into teratomorphic state. 


Subject died of exsanguination during Phase 3. 


Subject D-016-5: D-Class personnel infected by SCP-016. 
Subject was told to concentrate on forming wings and placed 
in an acrylic box suspended 305 m (1000 ft) above a mine 
shaft. A timer was placed outside the box which subject was 
told indicated the time to release. SCP-016 mutated into 
teratomorphic state, causing subject to grow a tentacle-like 
organ on his left wrist similar to a spider's spinnerets: subject 
extended said organ through one of the box's air holes and 
extruded a strong, silk-like substance, which it then used to 
secure the box to the cable. Subject was terminated when the 
countdown reached zero and the bomb detonated. 


Footnotes 

1. Due to their similarities as fatal contagions that stimulate the 
production of excess organs, a possible link toSCP-1801is under 
investigation.

SCP-017: Shadow Person 


Item #: SCP-017 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-017 is contained in an 
acrylic glass cage, 100 cm by 50 cm by 50 cm, centrally suspended 
in a concrete room measuring 6 m by 6 m by 4m. Attached to the 
walls, ceiling, and floor of the room are high-intensity arc lamp 
spotlights pointed directly at the acrylic cage, to ensure that 
SCP-017 is constantly exposed to light from every angle. Personnel 
assigned to the SCP-017 control room are to monitor the 
functionality of the spotlights and the emergency generator system 
and call for maintenance immediately upon knowledge of a burnt-out 
lamp or an issue with the generator. 


The only circumstance under which personnel are allowed entrance 
is to replace lamps. Personnel entering the room are required to 
wear the designated full-body reflective suits, and must be cautioned 
not to step in front of functional spotlights. 


Description: SCP-017 is a humanoid figure approximately 80 
centimeters in height, anatomically similar to a small child, but with 
no discernible identifying features. SCP-017 seems composed of a 
shadowy, smoke-like shroud. No attempt to find any object beneath 
the shroud has been successful, but the possibility has not been 
ruled out. 


SCP-017's reaction to shadows cast upon it is immediate and swift. 
SCP-017 leaps at the object casting the shadow and completely 
encloses it in its shroud, whereupon it returns to its normal size, 
leaving no trace of the object behind.

SCP-018: Super Ball 


Item #: SCP-018 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-018 is to be contained in 
its specialty metal restraint inside of a 1 m by 1 m by 1 m sealed box 
lined with heavy synthetic padding. The sealed box is then 
submerged in the center of the 10 m by 10 m by 10 m polyethylene 
holding tank. If SCP-018 is to break free from the holding box, the 
polyethylene-based 'goo' will slow down kinetic activity enough for 
proper retrieval by containment personnel. Personnel entering 
SCP-018's holding chamber are to wear specialized plating (found 
inside of SCP-018 Observation), and a breathing apparatus before 
being lowered into the polyethylene tank. If SCP-018 is loose 
outside of the polyethylene tank, personnel are advised to secure 
themselves in a separate room and close doorways or hatches to 
isolate SCP-018 until containment teams arrive. 


Description: SCP-018 has the appearance of a Super Ball made by 
the Wham-O company in 1969. It is six (6) centimeters in diameter 
and coloured red. Found when the company was hired to 
clean out a warehouse that had Wham-O merchandise in it, 
SCP-018 was noted to be able to bounce with extreme height. At 
first thought to be a pleasant child's toy, SCP-018 was able to 
bounce with over two hundred percent (200%) efficiency (that is, if 
dropped one (1) meter, it would bounce two (2), then four (4), then 
eight (8), then sixteen (16)). The ball soon became a dangerous 
projectile, reaching speeds estimated at over 100 km/h and 
damaging property and injuring five (5) in the city of ft 
came to a rest after several days in the nearby lake of , and 
was retrieved by SCP personnel. Due to the speed of the object, 
and the total surprise by its victims, no cover-up story was required 
or initiated. 


Document #018-04: Message to O5- 


, | hope everything is well. The reason | write to you is because 
| believe | have found a more effective method for retrieving new or 
escaped SCP objects. Yes, | realize we haven't had any progress in 
reverse engineering whatever allows this thing to defy the laws of 
thermodynamics, but we have come up with a very effective method 
for integrating one of those new SCP-A5 Armor suits with this. Just 
hear me out, we implant it into the bottom of a boot, rig up a little bit 
of a mechanical device, and ta-da, the suit is now capable of 
jumping well over a building. Also, if the wearer has their foot 
against something they want dead, well, let's just say it delivers a 
helluva kick. All | need is permission to modify one of the pre- 
existing SCP-A5 suits, and you'll be able to actually capture ; 
plus any other escaped SCP objects. Trust me, when have | let you 
down in the past? 


-Dr. 
Document #018-06: Letter to Dr. 
Dr. , 


Upon assignment, Agent was issued your modified SCP-A5 
armor in retrieving SCP-_ , and the results are mixed. Agent 

was able to place the collar onto SCP-__, chase it through the 
Amazon, and restrain it by dismemberment. However, due to a 
malfunction of your ‘little mechanical device’, he was launched 
almost a mile into the air and suffered two broken legs, seven 
broken ribs, a missing arm, and a skull fracture upon hitting the 
water of Lake on the way back down. You will fix that before 
! authorize your armor for common use. 


Document #018-11: Message to O5- 


, don't worry, it's fixed. But, | have some more ideas. If | can be 
granted the use of some water from SCP-006, SCP-_, and possibly 
SCP- ,1can deliver you a set of SCP-A5 armor and an agent that 
can capture any, if not all, rogue or unattained SCPs. All I'm waiting 
on is your approval.

SCP-019: The Monster Pot 


Item #: SCP-019 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-019 is to be kept ona 
wide grate ina3mx3mx 4m reinforced concrete room, installed 
with an incinerator. Room is to be kept at zero (0) degrees Celsius 
when incinerator is not activated. An observation chamber 
separated by a plate glass window is to be used for constant 
observation of SCP-019, and if/when specimens of SCP-019-2 are 
observed, the incinerator is to be activated. In the event of an 
outbreak of SCP-019-2, ordinary firearms are successful in 
terminating individual specimens, although in the case of a swarm- 
level outbreak, flamethrowers may be more effective. SCP-019 
should be kept in a vertical position at all times. 


Description: SCP-019 appears to be a very large ceramic vase, 
1.8 min diameter at the mouth and 2.4 m high. Style and decoration 
indicate it was created in Classical Greece, although conclusive 
dating is impossible, as the surface is entirely unbreakable by any 
known means. If a successful method is discovered, SCP-019 is to 
be destroyed with prejudice. 


Periodically, entities emerge from SCP-019. Collectively, these are 
known as SCP-019-2. The entities vary in many aspects, but tend to 
be small, vaguely humanoid (though they may have animaloid 
features), and extremely hostile. They often choose to attack with 
teeth or claws. Although fairly delicate (also, surprisingly, 
flammable), they are reasonably strong and pose a considerable 
threat in large numbers. 


When kept at zero (0) degrees Celsius and totally at rest, entities will 
emerge from SCP-019 at a rate of approximately one (1) entity per 
hour. The following traits are known to affect SCP-019-2's 
manifestation rate: 


* Movement of SCP-019 

¢ Threat to SCP-019 

« Extreme temperature highs and lows 

* Sudden shift in surrounding environment 

¢ Introduction of objects or organisms to the inside of SCP-019 
(known to cause a “flood” reaction) 


Traits that may or may not influence SCP-019-2's manifestation rate: 


¢ Presence of human life near SCP-019 

* Current weather patterns 

* Specific individuals near SCP-019 (some individuals seem to 
affect SCP-019-2's emergence rate more drastically than 
others) 


In addition, tipping or tilting SCP-019 will create a reaction as though 
it was previously “filled” with SCP-019-2 specimens, although 
viewers looking into SCP-019 from above will merely observe a dark 
hole. Due to the production rates of SCP-019-2 when the object is 
disturbed, measurement of the internal cavity is difficult, but it is 
suspected to be inconsistent with outside measurements. 


Addendum: Document SCP-019-2-A 
SCP-019-2 notes, as maintained by Doctor Light and Doctor Vaux 


/ / 
SCP-019-2 specimen was removed from containment chamber and 
kept in reinforced pen, provided with water and live chickens as 
food. Specimen made quiet, continuous, garbled vocalizations, 
determined to be phonetically similar to Ancient Hellenic languages. 
Although the reason for this is unknown, specimens are still thought 
to be no more intelligent than animals. 


The specimen lived for less than 48 hours, and a dissection 
revealed anatomy consistent on a cellular level with normal biology, 
but with an extremely unstable musculoskeletal structure. Other 
notable anomalies included an unstable respiratory system, nearly 
nonexistent digestive tract, and virtually no other internal organs. All 
other captured specimens have followed similar patterns of behavior 
and demise. 


Note: It appears that SCP-019-2 specimens were not intended to 
live for meaningful amounts of time outside of SCP-019. -Dr. Vaux 


Ls 
Containment unit was slightly damaged following prolonged 
exposure to SCP-019-2 specimen, missed by the monitoring team 
because of partial transparency. This has not been noted in 
SCP-019-2 before. Monitoring teams will continue to report further 
anomalies. 


ry 
Monitoring teams report some specimens of SCP-019-2 now appear 
to be significantly more resistant to incineration than others. It is 
hypothesized that this is a defense mechanism on the part of 
SCP-019. 


id 
Most specimens of SCP-019-2 are now all but entirely resistant to 
the effects of the incinerator. Replacement of incinerator with an 
acid bath is being considered. “Evolution” of SCP-019-2 is being 
studied, and may be evidence of sentience in SCP-019.

SCP-020: Unseen Mold 


Item #: SCP-020 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Samples of SCP-020 are 
stored in a series of sealed cultivation chambers inside a sealed 
containment room at Biological Research Area-12 which is 
accessible only via airlock. Nutrients are administered via automated 
robotic systems, as the cultivation chamber must remain sealed at 
all times. 


Hermetically sealed video surveillance cameras are installed within 
the containment room, and must be checked daily for integrity. Any 
personnel entering the containment room must wear Biosafety Level 
5 equipment including rebreathers and undergo full anti-fungal 
disinfection upon exiting. 


Description: SCP-020 is a fast-spreading fungal organism that is 
capable of affecting the senses and behavior of living creatures, 
including humans. Samples of SCP-020 exhibit an unknown effect 
that renders them effectively invisible to direct observation, even 
when under a microscope. SCP-020 is only visible to humans when 
viewed through photographic or video surveillance. 


Once SCP-020 forms a colony, usually within a human residence, it 
will produce spores that affect the behavior of humans around it. 
Affected subjects will increase the heat and humidity within their 
homes to create an environment more suitable to the growth of 
SCP-020. Affected subjects also become more sociable in many 
cases, and often invite acquaintances to their homes to further 
spread the organism. As the spores and mold colonies are invisible 
to affected subjects, the mold may sometimes grow directly on living 
subjects. 


As the spores and colonies within a home approach critical 


concentration, the health of affected human subjects will rapidly 
deteriorate, resulting in death. Further spread of the mold may occur 
as the bodies of any deceased subjects are encountered by 
emergency responders and health care agents, as well as 
transportation of the bodies to local morgues. 


SCP-020 was first encountered in [REDACTED], where an 
undercover SCP agent noted dramatic personality changes in 
personnel working at the local hospital. Upon investigation by a 
containment team, it was discovered that almost _ civilians had 
been infected, as well as a majority of the town. The civilian 
population was terminated, and the town incinerated under cover of 
a local flash forest fire. 


To date, over 12 outbreaks of SCP-020 have been reported. 
Investigations are currently underway to determine the source of 
these outbreaks and possible preventative measures. 


Addendum 020-01: Excerpts from the audio/video mission 
recorders of Mobile Task Force Eta-10 ("See No Evil") during the 
initial containment of SCP-020 on [REDACTED].

At this point, a civilian woman appeared in the doorway, 
holding a kitchen knife. Video surveillance showed that 
nearly two-thirds of her face was covered by mold 
growths. 


Civilian Woman: Well... hello there, gentlemen... care 
to take a breather inside?

It is assumed that at this point, the infected civilian 
noticed T2-4 carrying a primed incendiary weapon, and 
lunged forward at the team members with the knife.

SCP-021: Skin Wyrm 


Item #: SCP-021 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-021 is an obligate parasite 
of the human body. Containment, therefore, is no more difficult than 
containing an adult human; most cells will suffice. Item is currently 
housed in detention cell 217-A on subject D-139. Only class D 
personnel are eligible for hosting SCP-021. As long as a given 
subject survives as a host for SCP-021, he is exempt from normal 
monthly terminations of class D personnel. 


Description: SCP-021 takes the form of a large and elaborate 
tattoo of a serpentine dragon in the oriental style, covering 
approximately 0.8 square meters of skin. This tattoo is fully animate 
within the confines of its host's skin and behaves largely as a normal 
animal would, albeit in only two dimensions. The tattoo's movement 
causes constant pain to its host, comparable and similar in character 
to simultaneous tattooing and tattoo removal on a large scale. The 
organism tends to spend most of its time on and near the torso. 
SCP-021 displays no intelligence beyond a basic pattern of feeding 
and locomotion, although actually measuring the intelligence of a 
two-dimensional life-form has proven impossible thus far. 


SCP-021 appears to feed exclusively on pigments in the host's skin. 
This can include melanin, in which case the subject appears to be 
suffering from vitiligo. However, the organism shows a marked 
preference for other tattoos and will seek out and devour these 
before resorting to natural pigments. It should be noted that the 
feeding process itself, beyond the sensation of movement, is 
painless; normal tattoo ink simply vanishes as it is ‘eaten’. The 
organism maintains a constant size, and no excretions have been 
observed. The organism is capable of clearing over 0.6 square 
meters of skin per hour. One may ‘feed' SCP-021 by (quickly) 
tattooing fruits or small animals on the host. 


SCP-021 can be transferred between hosts by various forms of 
physical contact, with differing rates of success. In the case of 
successful transfer, the organism simply 'swims' from one person to 
the other. Sexual intercourse appears to be the most reliable 
method of transfer, with a 93% rate of transmission. However, due 
to the severe pain involved, this is less than ideal. Contact between 
two open wounds is generally preferable. Transfer is more 
complicated in deceased subjects, though not unreasonably so; the 
organism suffers no ill effects from the death of its host and 
continues to consume pigments. Transmission between species is 
unknown; previous tests suggest it to be either impossible or 
exceedingly rare. 


SCP-021 does confer some benefits to its host. The tattoo has been 
proven to accelerate the release and re-uptake of epinephrine and 
decrease lactic acid buildup, providing boosts of strength, 
confidence, and pain tolerance in stressful situations and reducing 
the usual after-effects of weakness and fatigue. In addition, the 
tattoo seems to have some beneficial effect on the host's immune 
system. Aggression profiles in hosts are generally higher than 
average, though whether this is a direct effect of the tattoo or simply 
a reaction to the constant pain remains to be seen. 


The symbiotic relationship is usually limited by how long the host 
can tolerate such pain in everyday life. This has culminated in 
suicide in a number of subjects. In rare cases, hosts have also fallen 
victim to fatal skin infections. 


SCP-021's origins and nature are a mystery. Tracing its 
transmission from host to host is hardly feasible within the confines 
of secrecy, and the organism could well be hundreds of years old, if 
not more. Nevertheless, SCP-021's captivity is one of the longest in 
the Foundation's history at nearly [DATA EXPUNGED] years, and 
has been very educational thus far. Current research focuses mainly 
on observing the characteristics of life in two dimensions.

SCP-022: The Morgue 


Image of SCP-022 through security camera. 


Item #: SCP-022 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: A vault door has been installed 
following Incident 022-827 to seal SCP-022. It is to remain locked at 
all times, with the sole exception being the appearance of an 
instance of SCP-022-1. The original door to SCP-022 was destroyed 
during Incident 022-827, with attempts at replacement being met 
with failure. Security cameras have been installed to monitor for 
instances of SCP-022-1. 


In the event that an instance of SCP-022-1 appears, automated 
systems should incinerate it the moment it leaves SCP-022. At this 
point the vault door may be unlocked to admit cleanup crews. 
Should the automated systems fail to destroy the instance of 
SCP-022-1, response teams are cleared to enter and neutralize it. 
Under no circumstances may any living human enter SCP-022 
except at the order of Class-4 personnel for testing purposes. 
Class-4 personnel may also order instances of SCP-022-1 to be 
captured and held; however, they may not be removed from 
SCP-022 containment facilities. 


Description: SCP-022 is a morgue in the basement of 
[REDACTED] Hospital in Great Britain. Until 198 , there were no 
reported anomalous occurrences within the morgue. Reports of 
strange activity were first received in November of 198 . The area 
was soon quarantined by the Foundation, with an official story being 
released that the entire building had been condemned. The reason 
for the sudden manifestation of its strange properties remains under 
investigation. 


Periodically, a random drawer within the morgue will open to reveal 


a cadaver under a covered sheet. After approximately six minutes 
open, the cadaver will animate and attempt to leave the morgue. At 
this point, the cadaver is given the designation SCP-022-1. In some 
cases the cadaver will be too damaged or decomposed to 
successfully exit SCP-022 or even rise from the table it lies on. In 
this case, SCP-022-1 will typically struggle and twitch on the table 
until expiration occurs. Should an instance of SCP-022-1 expire 
while remaining on the table, the table slides back into the drawer, 
which then shuts. Reports indicate that the scent of burnt tissue is 
evident immediately following such an event. 


The energy source that sustains instances of SCP-022-1 is currently 
unknown. Instances do not breathe, eat, or sleep, and their bodies 
produce no heat. Analysis of SCP-022-1 following expiration has 
discovered no abnormal organs or chemicals present; they appear 
to be fully human cadavers. 


Instances also possess physical strength that exceeds that of 
normal humans. Though direct testing has proven problematic, 
researchers estimate the strength increase to be approximately 

500 N (112 Ib) of lifting force greater than what one would expect of 
a human body sharing a similar condition. Analysis is underway to 
determine if this effect is connected to the unknown power source or 
if itis an entirely separate phenomenon. 


When body parts are severed from SCP-022-1, the portion with the 
greatest mass retains its effects; all other pieces become inert. 
Destruction of the head or brain does not neutralize SCP-022-1; 
instead, the lower torso and limbs remain animate. Complete tissue 
destruction appears to be the only method of successfully 
terminating instances of SCP-022-1. Left alone, instances of 
SCP-022-1 will simply expire; all motion ceases and they appear to 
become normal cadavers again. The amount of time this takes 
depends on how damaged the body is and the rate of 
decomposition, and can take anywhere between two days and three 
weeks. 


Investigation has revealed that the bodies acting as SCP-022-1 
match the description of cadavers reported to have been stolen from 
morgues across the country. The mechanism for this transfer is 
currently being researched. 


Adding any new matter to SCP-022 has thus far proved impossible. 
Any object that enters SCP-022 disappears shortly after passing 
through the door, leaving no trace. This includes inanimate objects 
and biological specimens. See Addendum 022-001 and 022-002. 


So long as an instance of SCP-022-1 possesses a functioning 
mouth, tongue, and trachea, it is able to communicate fully with 
researchers. See Interview Log 022-751 for details. 


Addendum 022-001: A request has been submitted to create a new 
entrance to SCP-022 by removing a portion of the South wall. 
Request pending approval. 


Addendum 022-002: A pile of matter was discovered on the floor of 
the room directly above SCP-022. It appeared to contain all matter 
that had been sent into SCP-022, with the exception of humans. All 
materials appeared broken and worn down. Metallic components 
were covered in large amounts of rust, with all biological parts being 
in various stages of decomposition. Testing revealed that the time 
between inserting an object into SCP-022 and it reappearing above 
to be precisely 183 seconds. Humans who enter, however, do not 
appear in said pile. Instead, humans appear to become integrated 
into the morgue, and may later animate as instances of SCP-022-1.

Interview Log 022-751 


Each of the following interviews begin in much the same way; the 
instance of SCP-022-1 will typically be hysterical until Foundation 
personnel are able to calm/restrain them. These portions have been 
omitted. 


Date: March , 198 
Interviewee: SCP-022-1-2 
Interviewer: Dr. 


Notes: SCP-022-1-2 was the second instance of SCP-022-1 that 
the Foundation discovered, the first having been destroyed on sight 
by Foundation agents. SCP-022-1-2 had the body of an Asian male, 
approximately 54 years old. Its chest had been stitched up, evidence 
of an autopsy. 


[BEGIN LOG] 
Dr. : Please identify yourself. 


SCP-022-1-2: My...my name is John . What...what 
the hell is going on? 


Dr. : That's what we're trying to figure out, John. How 
did you get to this... state? 


SCP-022-1-2: |... | don't know. | was driving my car... 
coming home from...never mind. | was driving, and | 
crashed. 


Dr. : Then what happened? 


SCP-022-1-2: Nothing! | woke up here! Please...this has 
to be [unintelligible]. 


Dr. : So you remember being in a car accident, then 
woke up here in the morgue? Do you have any idea how 
you got here? 


SCP-022-1-2: | didn't get here! Don't you get it! This isn't 
me! I'm not me! 


Dr. : What do you mean, "you aren't you"? 


At this point SCP-022-1-2 became severely agitated and 
had to be physically restrained. This required six agents, 
due to the strength increase associated with instances of 
SCP-022-1. Eventually SCP-022-1-2 was calmed and 
the interview proceeded. 


Dr. : Now, would you please explain what you 
meant? 


SCP-022-1-2: This. Is. Not. Me. | saw my reflection in the 
steel. I'm not some old Asian fuck! This isn't me! 


[END LOG] 


Following the last statement, SCP-022-1-2 began to smash its head 
against the wall. Once further restrained, it began to scream 
unintelligibly for several hours before falling silent. It continued to 
struggle, though apparently unable to speak, for an additional six 
days until it finally ceased motion. During this time it continued 
decomposing at a natural rate. An examination of the body following 
this interview was unable to determine a cause of death, as many of 
the internal organs had been removed. The only injury that did not 
appear to be a result of a previous surgery/autopsy was a damaged 
trachea. 


Date: March , 198 
Interviewee: SCP-022-1-5 
Interviewer: Dr. 


Notes: SCP-022-1-5 animated shortly after D-5619 was sent into 
SCP-022 and subsequently disappeared. SCP-022-1-5 had the 


body of an approximately 12-year-old female, missing its right arm 
and a large portion of its torso. Following the incident with 
SCP-022-1-3, all instances of SCP-022-1 are physically restrained 
before being introduced to valuable personnel, with SCP-022-1-5 
being no exception. 


[BEGIN LOG] 

Dr. : Please state your name. 
SCP-022-1-5: What did you bastards do to me? 
Dr. : Please state your name. 
SCP-022-1-5: What the fuck did you do to me?! 


Dr. : We have done nothing to you, now please state 
your name. 


SCP-022-1-5: You know who | fucking am! 
Dr. : Refresh my memory then, please. 


SCP-022-1-5: |'m the guinea pig you just fucked up. 
Don't tell me you forgot me, Dr. Asshole. 


Dr. :...are you D-5619? 


SCP-022-1-5: In the flesh. And for your information, 
jackass, my name is [REDACTED]! Now change me 
back you son of a bitch! Change me fucking back! 


[END LOG] 


At this point Dr. asked SCP-022-1-5 several questions to verify 
its identity. Though its identity was confirmed to be that of D-5619, 
no further useful information was gained from SCP-022-1-5. It was 
kept in a holding cell until expiring two days later. After three weeks, 
the body of D-5619 animated as SCP-022-1-7. In a brief interview 
with SCP-022-1-7, it claimed to be an 89-year-old female. 


SCP-023: Black Shuck 


Item #: SCP-023 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-023 is to be contained in a 
standard 5 x 5 m Containment Unit. SCP-023 is to be contained in a 
walled-off intersection of two (2) corridors at Site, with at least 
three (3) meters of space in each direction, and false doors at three 
(3) of the four (4) ends, in addition to the real door. Security cameras 
will be placed and maintained above all four (4) doors. 


At all times, SCP-023's eye sockets are to be filled with spherical 
inserts made of hard rubber. Eye inserts must be replaced as they 
degrade. Degradation can be monitored by measuring the 
brightness of the "burning" effect as observed by security footage. 
Brightness greater than 12 candela requires that the inserts be 
replaced within twelve (12) hours. Eye inserts are only to be 
replaced individually, and only after the sun has completely set. 
Personnel are not to look directly into eye sockets of SCP-023 at 
any time. 


Following Incident 023-27 all reflective surfaces, including displays, 
monitors, and eye-wear of any sort are not permitted within 30 
meters of SCP-023's cell. This includes monitors linked to security 
cameras within its enclosure. Security personnel posted at 
checkpoints outside both corridors will enforce and adhere to this 
measure. 


Experimentation involving SCP-023 has been suspended 
indefinitely. 


Description: SCP-023 is a large, sexless shaggy canine (1.5 
meters at the shoulder) with black fur. It has bright orange-red eyes 
and prominent teeth (see Incident Report 023-26). Any time an 
individual makes eye contact with SCP-023, either that person or a 


member of their immediate family will die exactly one (1) year after 
eye contact is broken. Research into the method of selection is 
incomplete due to a moratorium on experiments, but the available 
data suggests that having a larger immediate family lessens the 
chance of the individual making eye contact themselves dying, and 
neither a pattern nor a preference in victim types have been found. 
This may indicate that SCP-023's victim is designated entirely at 
random, but it is unknown whether this selection occurs at the 
beginning or at the end of the one-year time period. Attempts to 
terminate an individual who has made eye contact with SCP-023 
and their entire immediate family before the one-year time period 
has ended [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Autopsies of individuals killed by SCP-023's effect show that, while 
outwardly appearing unharmed, their remains have been ‘filled in’ 
with highly compacted ash, including but not limited to all organ 
systems and the circulatory system. Muscle tissue, bones, and brain 
tissue universally show signs of exposure to temperatures above 
°C. 


If not contained in a setting that at least superficially resembles a 
"crossroads", SCP-023 will phase through walls to get to the nearest 
suitable location, incinerating all materials it passes through. 


SCP-023 was first brought to the Foundation's attention when it 
attacked a church in while it was in session, killing civilians 
directly and [REDACTED] as a result of eye contact. Following 
retrieval of SCP-023, Class-B amnestics were administered to all 
witnesses and surviving victims. The incident was covered up as a 
case of arson. 


Addendum 023-001 

SCP-023 broke containment on / / by passing through its cell 
wall (Incident 023-01). SCP-023 was later discovered at the 
intersection of two (2) corridors elsewhere on Site- . Agent 

noted SCP-023's similarity to a [REDACTED]. Special Containment 
Procedures for SCP-023 updated. Assistant Researcher issued 
a reprimand for negligence. 


Addendum 023-002 
SCP-023 has been responsible for the deaths of | personnel and 


civilians since it was first brought into containment on 10/12/ 94. 


Addendum 023-003: 
Request for reclassification to Keter pending. 


Addendum 023-004: 

Due to both anomalies focusing on specific geographic spaces, their 
destructive capabilities, and canine appearance, it is possible that 
SCP-1111-1 may be a variant of the same phenomenon observed in 
SCP-023, or vice versa. Investigation into the origin of both 
anomalies is ongoing. Due to the inability to capture SCP-1111-1 for 
study, investigations are currently focused on SCP-023.

Incident 023-27 


SCP involved: SCP-023 

Personnel involved: Dr. , [DATA EXPUNGED] 
Date: / / 

Location: Site- 

Description: Timeline of events: 


00:00:10 —A pair of glass eyeballs are inserted into the eye sockets 
of SCP-023 by two D-Class personnel. 


00:00:15 — Glass eyes take on an orange-red glow, similar to what 
SCP-023's real eyes looked like before removal. 


00:03:13 — Molten glass begins to run out of SCP-023's eye sockets. 


00:05:54 — [DATA EXPUNGED] appear on all lenses, windows, 
mirrors, monitors, and glass surfaces at Site- . 


00:06:12 — Evacuation of Site- ordered. 


06:54:07 — Sun visible over horizon. D-class personnel sent in to 
check area around SCP-023's enclosure. [DATA EXPUNGED] 
gone. Only trace of SCP-023 is a burnt section of floor around a 
puddle of colored glass. 


Personal Log of: Dr. 
Date: / / 


It's my fault. | have doomed my research team, and possibly the rest 
of the facility. All that's left is to keep trying. We must contain 
SCP-023. 


Note: On // _ , one year after Incident 023-27, personnel were 
interred in an unmarked mass grave outside Site- . 


Incident Report 023-026 


SCP involved: SCP-023 

Personnel involved: Dr. , » D-Class personnel 
Date: // - // 

Location: Site 

Description: 


In an attempt to curtail the danger posed by SCP-023, Dr. has 
approved the removal of both 023's eyes and teeth. Immediately 
after both its eyes were removed, SCP-023 breached security by 
vanishing completely. SCP-023 was re-obtained on a stretch of 
Interstate at 4:37 P.M., and brought back into containment, where 
D-Class personnel finished pulling out its teeth. While the total 
number of civilians exposed to SCP-023 during this period is 
unknown, death record monitoring has tied 9 civilian deaths to this 
incident. 


Timestamps confirmed over the course of the next 48 hours that 
SCP-023 vanished only while the sun was visible in the sky from 
outside Site 


Addendum-023-026-1: 


Asof //_ ,Dr. has been suspended pending disciplinary 
review for contributing to, if not being directly responsible for, 
Incident-023-026. Dr. —_ is now in charge of SCP-023. 


The increased difficulties in containment that have been incurred as 
a result of Dr. should serve to remind all personnel of The 
Foundation's purpose. Secure, Contain, and Protect. Research, 
experimentation, convenience, and even the safety of Foundation 
personnel are secondary concerns. We are not working to protect 


ourselves. 
O5- 


Addendum-023-026-2: A total of bodies with a time of death 
exactly one year after Incident 023-26 have been identified as 
consistent with SCP-023 exposure. 


SCP-024: Game Show of Death 


Item #: SCP-024 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to its nature, SCP-024 
cannot be moved to a secure location so security measures must be 
placed on-site. To conceal its location, five (5) identical-looking 
replicas have been erected around SCP-024. A tight security 
perimeter must be maintained around SCP-024's compound at all 
times, with separate security teams guarding SCP-024 and its 
replicas. None of the security teams, except for team leaders, will be 
informed of the location of SCP-024. SCP-024 must be secured with 
magnetically sealed blast doors and reinforced, armored walls to 
prevent unauthorized entry. 


Under no circumstances can any security or research personnel 
enter SCP-024. Only D-Class personnel are allowed entry and 
strictly for research purposes only. All researchers are to observe 
and experiment with SCP-024 from the remote observation lab. Any 
personnel attempting to leave the remote observation lab or enter 
SCP-024 without prior approval from a Level 4 researcher must be 
immediately apprehended, with termination authorized. 


Should containment be breached, or SCP-024's true nature 
compromised, then the entire compound must be destroyed via 
specialized demolition charges planted throughout the compound. 


Description: SCP-024 is an abandoned sound stage that was once 
owned by . However, SCP-024 itself had been abandoned 
since 19 , and it is unknown whether its special properties 
manifested before or after its abandonment. SCP-024 is located in 
the heart of ; , and was initially discovered when a group 
of teenage youths broke into the abandoned compound. The 
testimony of the lone "winner" when she turned herself in to the 
police was enough to have Foundation assets mobilize to contain 


SCP-024. 


Upon entering SCP-024, visitors are immediately greeted by an 
anonymous announcer, who communicates via intercom and is able 
to hear and comprehend the voices of people within SCP-024. The 
announcer will inform the "contestants" that they are about to take 
part in a game show in which the winners will win fabulous prizes, 
but will also warn that the game will be extremely hazardous, and 
that the losers will never leave SCP-024. It is at this point the 
announcer presents the choice of whether to stay or leave SCP-024. 
Contestants who accept will continue to participate in the game 
while those who decline are immediately expelled from SCP-024. 
Contestants that win the game or decline to participate may never 
enter SCP-024 again, as entry is denied by an impenetrable, 
invisible barrier. 


It is then that the contestants are led to the actual game. The style, 
composition, and appearance of the game always changes in every 
individual play-through, but the game is always centered around a 
long, elaborate obstacle course that the contestants must navigate 
through. The rules also vary. Some play-throughs may only allow a 
single winner, while others encourage the creation of teams to win 
the game. More often than not, the obstacles seen in these games 
range from incredibly benign to extremely hazardous and life- 
threatening. As the contestants attempt to negotiate the course, the 
announcer will continuously update their status and actively 
participate in the game, often giving advice, conversing with 
contestants, and adding new rules. As the game progresses, the 
obstacles become significantly more dangerous and difficult to 
overcome, and it is not surprising to have the entire pool of 
contestants succumb to the rigors of the obstacle course. If such an 
event happens, the announcer will express sadness at the lack of a 
winner and SCP-024 will shut down, resetting only when a new 
batch of contestants enter. 


Any attempts to "break the rules", such as assaulting other 
contestants and deliberately bypassing obstacles, are met by 
extreme violence. The announcer will call out the offending 
contestant, who will be quickly and forcefully ejected from the course 
by "studio guardians". These studio guardians will immediately 


materialize within SCP-024 when called upon by the announcer and 
disappear when not needed. The contestant will never be seen 
again. 


When a winner is declared, he/she will receive a random grand 
prize. Any contestants that have survived the course but failed to 
win are immediately declared losers by the announcer. The lights 
will switch off, and the winner will immediately appear outside of 
SCP-024 with his/her prize while the losers completely disappear. 


However, the most mysterious aspect of SCP-024 is that after every 
game, a VHS tape or DVD will appear in the mailbox outside of 
SCP-024's main entrance. This recording is a complete record of the 
entire game that was previously played, even though winners have 
claimed that they had never seen any cameras or recording devices 
inside SCP-024. Also, more strangely, a live studio audience can be 
seen in the background cheering on the contestants. Again, winners 
have claimed not to have seen a live studio audience while inside 
SCP-024. 


Addendum 1: So far, the list of prizes awarded to winners has 
included, but is not limited to: cash prizes, electronics, various 
consumer goods, cars, collectibles, full-paid vacations to various 
countries, [DATA EXPUNGED]. Close examination of these prizes 
have confirmed that they are completely genuine, and possess no 
unusual abilities or characteristics whatsoever. There appears to be 
no consistent pattern for what the prizes will be. 


Addendum 2: In an attempt to track where the "losers" are taken, 
GPS locator beacons were planted on subjects D-124 through 
D-135 when Group D245 was sent into SCP-024. When the losers 
were taken away, all signals from the beacons were lost. Whether 
this is because the beacons were destroyed, or because the losers 
were taken to an area that cannot be located via GPS is currently 
unknown. 


Addendum 3: The announcer living within SCP-024 appears to be 
sentient and aware of events that take place outside of the 
compound. During the test of Group D523, which consisted only of 
Dr. , the announcer instead engaged in a conversation with Dr. 
. Analysis of the conversations have shown that the majority of 


the subjects are centered around pop culture and information 
distributed through television, implying that SCP-024 somehow is 
able to access and interpret television signals. Cutting all power and 
signal lines, as well as removing any potential wireless receiving 
equipment on SCP-024, does not affect SCP-024 in any way. When 
it became clear that no other contestants would participate, the 
announcer kindly asked Dr. to leave SCP-024 and suggested 
he return with more contestants. 


Addendum 4: The studio guardians that the announcer uses to 
enforce the rules vary in appearance every game, just like the 
course. If they appear, the guardians will always be dressed ina 
manner that matches with the theme of the obstacle course. The 
only common attributes all guardians share are the possession of 
humanoid appearance, ability to suddenly appear and disappear, 
superhuman strength, and face concealing masks or headgear. 
However, winners have claimed that the guardians have no 
apparent shape or form inside SCP-024, instead appearing as huge, 
shadowy figures that engulf the offender.

SCP-025: A Well-Worn Wardrobe 


Item #: SCP-025 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-025 is only to be opened 
during testing, as is the room in which SCP-025 is stored. Entry 
codes are to be given only to authorized research and security 
personnel. No other containment protocols required. 


Description: SCP-025 is a wooden wardrobe measuring 0.97 m x 
0.62 m x 1.95 m, full of clothing dating from a number of time 
periods. Articles contained within the chest, collectively named 
SCP-025-1, match with styles of decades from the 1920s to the 
present. The apparel from each time frame varies with regard to 
style; for example, a polyester striped shirt and pair of charcoal suit 
pants both correspond with general styles of the 1970s. The only 
unifying aspect of every article contained in SCP-025 is that each 
one is in poor condition; moths have eaten at much of the collection, 
and tears and runs are not uncommon. 


When any item from SCP-025 is put on, the wearer is observed 
either to die or suffer an injury within 24 hours. The cause of death 
or injury in these instances is invariably linked to the aforementioned 
flaws in the clothing, but only ever appears to be an unrelated 
incident. Wearing a glove with a fingertip cut off may result in the 
loss of the fingertip through a simple kitchen accident like chopping 
onions; similarly, a subject wearing a poncho with a sleeve missing 
will somehow cause the loss of the uncovered arm, be it an attack 
by a wild animal or a vehicular accident that necessitates the 
amputation of the limb. If placed in a sealed, unfurnished enclosure 
while wearing an item from the chest, the wearer will either 
seemingly spontaneously contract a flesh-eating disease that begins 
in the areas not covered by the clothing, or suffer the failure of an 
organ located beneath an imperfection in the article. Diseases 
arising from such incidents may or may not be contagious; no study 


has been successfully undertaken due to the speed at which the 
strains observed run their course. Recommended that, if possible, 
samples of the disease be taken to lab for possible weaponization. 


Following is an abridged testing log of SCP-025; more thorough 
testing will accompany the declassification of the document in its 
entirety. 


TEST LOG SCP-025, SECTION 1 


SUBJECT: D-778, a 42-year-old white male 

ARTICLE: 1940s-era white tuxedo 

IMPERFECTION(S): Torn seam in left shoulder 

TEST RESULTS: Subject was allowed free roam of the 
halls, under Agent 's supervision. For approximately 
45 minutes, nothing eventful occurred; however, at : : , 
security tapes and eyewitnesses indicate that D-778 
appeared to make an attempt at attacking Agent 

He in turn overcame the subject with a knife, causing an 
inch-deep gash in D-778's left shoulder precisely at the 
point where the tuxedo's seam was ripped. Test halted; 
subject later terminated. 


SUBJECT: D-690, a 26-year-old white male 

ARTICLE: 2004 Boston Red Sox baseball cap 
IMPERFECTION(S): Missing size adjuster in back of 
cap; logo in front partially removed 

TEST RESULTS: Placed in a sealed room with the 
subject was a table on which were a loaded Jericho 
"Baby Eagle" 9mm handgun, a grill lighter, and a 
hatchet. D-690 chose to wear the cap backward for the 
test; potential effects of this decision on the outcome of 
the test are unknown. Subject expressed reluctance to 
touch any of the objects on the table for several hours; 
food and water were provided as necessary. After four 
(4) hours of general inactivity, subject picked up the 
handgun and examined it; while holding it at roughly eye 
level, the weapon discharged into D-690's forehead, 
where the size adjustment band would have been. The 
round exited the subject near the part of the hat with the 


missing part of the logo. 


SUBJECTS: D-736, a 22-year-old white male; D-771, a 
23-year-old white male 

ARTICLE: Burgundy striped sweater vest, dating from 
1973 

IMPERFECTION(S): Article seemed to have been 
partially eaten by moths; several large holes in the front 
of the sweater 

TEST RESULTS: D-736 was asked by researching staff 
to wear the sweater vest, which he did under duress. 
D-771 was given a loaded handgun out of sight of the 
other test participant and instructed to, on a given signal, 
fire all six (6) shots in the direction of D-736. After doing 
so, it was noted that every shot fired passed through one 
of the holes in the sweater vest, leaving the clothing 
intact and killing D-736. Firearm retrieved; surviving 
subject transported back to quarters. 


SUBJECT: D-771, a 23-year-old white male 

ARTICLE: Sweater vest from above trial 
IMPERFECTION(S): Same as mentioned 

TEST RESULTS: D-771 was this time placed in an 
empty room, dimensions 15 m x 15m x 15 m; only 
objects in the enclosure were lights overhead. Subject 
initially complained of boredom, then lay on his back and 
went to sleep. After 2 hours and 14 minutes, two (2) of 
the fluorescent light tubes in the ceiling suddenly 
dislodged and fell. Both landed squarely on holes in the 
sweater, shattering upon impact; one (1) of the tubes 
broke into jagged pieces that impaled D-771 in several 
areas, but only again through gaps already present in the 
sweater vest. Subject's vitals persisted for another six (6) 
minutes, then ceased. Further testing locations will be 
selected to minimize possible damage to the surrounding 
area. 


SUBJECT: Dr. [Unplanned experiment; an 
unidentified individual left an article from SCP-025 on Dr. 
's desk that looked similar to an item of his own 


clothing. Any information about this incident and/or the 
perpetrator of same should be reported immediately to 
senior staff.] 

ARTICLE: Lightweight scarf, dyed a number of colors 
IMPERFECTION(S): Heavily pulled seam caused scarf 
to be considerably shorter and tighter in the middle. 
TEST RESULTS: According to his itinerary, Dr. , 
wearing the item from SCP-025, was en route to the 
enclosure of SCP- on / / _ for routine testing. 
However, he diverged from his intended path and began 
in a direction towards an entirely separate wing of the 
facility. Subject then entered the enclosure of SCP-173 
without gathering accompaniment or following safety 
procedures, and, upon hearing the door closing, blinked. 
Cause of death listed as strangulation resulting from a 
crushed windpipe. 


SUBJECT: D-802, a 30-year-old Hispanic female 
ARTICLE: 1980s Flashdance-style white shirt 
IMPERFECTION(S): Right shoulder removed, left sleeve 
completely cut off, entire bottom hem shredded 

TEST RESULTS: [DATA EXPUNGED]. All present were 
presumed infected, then quarantined and [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 

All further tests involving 1980s-era fashion have been 
postponed indefinitely due to the expenditures and safety 
hazards presented by the aforementioned experiment. 
Full cleanup estimated to take an additional weeks. 


Further testing authorized; results now awaiting declassification.

SCP-026: Afterschool Retention 


Item #: SCP-026 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-026 is to remain securely 
locked and boarded up at all times when there is no research 
ongoing. Alarms are set to alert the Foundation in case of entry by 
civilians or other agencies. 


Description: SCP-026 is a three (3) story public school building 
builtin. It has two (2) wings connected to a central foyer. It was 
declared condemned in __ after it was found the floor plan didn't 
match up to the building's blueprints (see Interview Log 026-01). It 
came to the Foundation's attention after several disappearances in 
the area were linked to visits to the abandoned building. 


The building demonstrates spatial anomalies. Its internal space is 
much greater than the external surface of the building would allow. 
Hallways display variable length, while stairways have differing 
numbers of steps going up or down. The number of rooms off the 
hallways changes each time they are counted. Attempts to reach the 
far ends of the hallways have met with failure thus far. Entrance 
through the fire escapes located at the ends of the hallways leads to 
doors approximately midway down the length of the halls. 


EDIT: See Note 026-A 


There is considerable graffiti on the interior walls of the school. Most 
appears typical, including gang signs, names, and street art. 
However, the graffiti fades and reappears, changing location. Writing 
on chalkboards and bulletin boards changes in a similar fashion. 
Subjects typically found range from standard school subjects 
(mathematics, literature, biology), to more esoteric subjects, such as 
quantum entanglement, , and eugenics. One researcher 
reported one board detailing information about SCP- _, but 


photographic evidence showed only a blank slate (See Note 026-B). 
The phrase "The children used to sing" has appeared multiple times 
in various places throughout the building, but there is currently no 
explanation for its significance. 


A number of unconscious subjects have been found in the building, 
mostly of high school age, ranging from twelve to eighteen. They are 
dressed in accordance to the school's dress code, circa. Several 
have been identified as former students or faculty of the school who 
disappeared after the school shut down (in at least one case, more 
than ten years after the closure). It is currently unknown how they 
were transported back into SCP-026. (See Note 026-C) 


All attempts to wake the subjects while inside the building have 
failed. On being removed from the grounds of SCP-026, the subjects 
wake abruptly. They experience a period of confusion, before dying 
from extremely rapid dehydration, followed by advanced 
decomposition. No useful intelligence has been recovered from the 
subjects to date. 


The inability to wake subjects extends to those who fall asleep on 
the grounds of SCP-026, though the rapid dehydration only seems 
to affect those who have been found on the grounds of the school. 
See Incident Report 026-12. 


Note 026-A: Robotic exploration and video feeds have shown that 
the apparent spatial anomalies are caused by changes in the 
perceptions of observers, rather than actual spatial phenomena. For 
this reason, SCP-026 does not require the expertise of Mobile Task 
Force Rho-8 "Roadside Picnickers" at this time. 


UPDATE: Further exploration has shown that some spatial 
phenomena do occur. See the Exploration Logs for more details. 


Note 026-B: The contents of notepads, books, and pieces of paper 
have been observed to disappear, only to reappear on surfaces 
within SCP-026. New writings have appeared, mostly drawn from 
graffiti or text-books. Caution should be exercised in bringing 
documents onto the grounds of SCP-026. 


Note 026-C: Several class D personnel exposed to SCP-026 have 


disappeared from Foundation control, only to reappear inside the 
anomalous building. The subjects in question had previously 
complained of dreams identical to those experienced by Agent 
Malek. 


UPDATE: See Interview Log 026-08. 


Incident Report 026-12 

During a routine security check of SCP-026, Agent Malek was found 
unconscious by his partner, Agent Jones, in the main foyer. Initial 
attempts at rousing Agent Malek were ineffective, so he was moved 
for transportation to Site . Upon leaving the grounds of SCP-026, 
he woke abruptly in a state of agitation. When questioned, he 
revealed that he had been dreaming of a classroom setting. This 
dream has been consistent throughout all subjects who have fallen 
asleep within the grounds of SCP-026.

Interview Log 026-01 


Interview with , former principal at SCP-026. 
Agent : Thank you for your time, Mr. 


: Not at all. If there's one thing | have plenty of these days, it's 
time. 


Agent : So, let's get down to business. You were principal of 
[REDACTED] back in [REDACTED], is that correct? 


: Yes, that's right. 
Agent : What can you tell us about that? 


: Well, you've heard the stories, I'm sure. Folks say it was 
haunted. | don't know about that, but things did seem strange 
towards the end. 


Agent : Tell me about them. 


: Let's see, there were the stairs, of course. You've heard about 
that, right? People would count fifteen coming up and sixteen 
coming back down. I'm sure there was a trick to it, like an optical 
illusion, but | never could figure it out. And we had a history book 
that turned up completely blank. [Pauses] | suppose these seem 
rather tame. But you know how it is. Little things add up. People tell 
stories. 


Agent : Tell me about the dreams. 


: The dreams? Oh, yes. People were complaining about 
nightmares. Mostly students, but a few of the staff as well. It was 
always about school never ending. We joked about it at first, but 
more people talked about it. | didn't put much credence into it, but, 
well, when we found the blueprints didn't match up with the school, it 
seemed easier just to move to a new building. The schoolhouse was 


old, anyway, and we wanted a fresh start. And, just like that, things 
seemed to settle back to normal. 


Agent : | see. Is there anything else you'd like to add? 


: Hmm. [Pauses] It's not really much, but maybe it will make a 
nice footnote in that book you're writing. | still sometimes have 
dreams about being in my office, back at the old schoolhouse. 
Sometimes I'm doing paperwork, sometimes I'm talking to someone, 
but it's always back behind the desk, just like old times. But 
gradually, | notice something's a bit off. The bell's ringing, but | don't 
hear anyone in the hallway. No students hurrying in or out of the 
classroom, no chatter, no footsteps, nothing but the bell. And it 
doesn't stop. The crazy thing is that | never notice it's a dream until 
then. I've been retired for ten years, but until | notice the bell, | think 
everything's normal. Crazy, isn't it? 


Agent : | think it's very interesting. Thank you very much. If you 
think of anything else, don't hesitate to give me a call. 


: Any time. 


SCP-026 Exploration Logs 


Exploration Log 026-4 
Exploration conducted by Agent 


"All right, I'm walking into the lobby. Walls are mostly bare concrete, 
a little paint here and there. Graffiti everywhere. A few beer bottles, 
some other trash. Looks like just another abandoned building. 


"Okay, I'm making my way up the stairs. More graffiti on the walls. 
Okay, I'm going into the hallway. The peeling paint is kind of creepy. 
Looks like some sort of sheet fungus. Reminds me of [REDACTED]. 
The doors are kind of weird. Some are really close, others are far. 
Really irregular spacing. Doesn't match up with the blueprint you 
showed me. Okay, here's a classroom. Pretty empty. Some old 
desks. Real old, like they had in the thirties. The chalkboard's got a 
few math problems on it. Looks like trig. Okay, I'm going to check 
out another room. 


"Back in the hallway. Heading to the next room. Desks look more 
modern in this room. Made from particle board. More posters here. 
Look to be from the eighties, I'd say. | recognize some of them from 
when | was a kid. Looks like Latin on the chalkboard. Yes, I'm taking 
pictures. 


"Okay, back in the hallway. Heading to the next room. 
[Several minutes of silence] 


"There's something really screwy with this place. | could swear the 
room was just a few feet away, but it feels like I've been walking for 
hours. Anyway, I'm here. 


"We've got sleepers. Three of them, two girls and a boy. They look 
to be around fourteen, fifteen. They're all wearing the same uniform. 
Yeah, just like you showed me. Hang on a minute while | take some 
pictures. At least we can figure out who they are. 


"The furniture's pretty old looking, what's left of it. Lot of broken 
chairs and desks. Nothing on the walls. Chalkboard's... The hell? 


"You're not going to believe this, _ . It's got Agent 's notes up 
there. In her handwriting, even. We're going to have to be really 
careful what we bring in here. 


"Yeah, I've got pictures, don't worry. Okay, I'm going to check one 
more room, and then I'm out. 


"Back in the hallway now. Heading for the next room. 


"Another anomaly. I've been going the same direction this entire 
time, but I'm back at the stairs. Yeah, I'm just going to head down. 
I've had enough of this place for one day. I'll meet you at the door." 


The developed photos revealed [REDACTED] 


Exploration Log 026-12 
Carried out remotely using a robotic drone via video feed. Exploring 
the first floor hallway. 


The hallway appeared in poor condition, with graffiti on the walls. 
Comparison with previous videos shows the graffiti has changed. 
Many of the same signs were present, but in different positions. 
Some seemed new. 


Doors were uniformly spaced on the wall. Some were intact, while 
others were cracked or missing entirely. 


First room in the hallway was the girl's bathroom. More graffiti on the 
walls. Several broken mirrors. A toilet had been removed from the 
wall entirely and placed in the center of the room. There was a great 
deal of porcelain and glass on the floor. 


The next room over was the boy's bathroom. This was skipped in 
favor of exploring the classrooms. 


The first classroom had no furniture. The chalkboard was broken in 
two. On one side of the board, there was a set of lines reading "I will 
not pass notes during cla (sic)." The other side had fragments of a 
lesson on [REDACTED]. There was one poster on the wall, 


depicting Helen Keller. 


The second classroom was well furnished, with the largest number 
of intact desks to date, mostly made from wood and steel in a style 
used in the 1950's. There were two sleepers found that had not 
been reported in previous sweeps of the building. The first was a 
male teenager in a student's desk. Comparison with File 026-04 
revealed him to be , a former student of the school. He was 
reported missing ten years after the school closed down, at age 
twenty-eight. The other was a woman in her mid-thirties sitting 
behind the teacher's desk. Her identity is still unknown. The 
chalkboard had a timeline of World War 2, overlaid with an intricate 
piece of graffiti. 


The third classroom had fifteen particle-board desks in various 
states of disrepair. A map on the back wall was consistent with the 
sociopolitical conditions of 1974. A bookshelf had collapsed, and 
spilled a set of encyclopedias onto the floor. 


The robot was then guided to the end of the hallway and back to the 
entrance. There was no sign of spatial anomalies at this time. 


Exploration Log 026-15 
Exploration conducted by Agent __, accompanied by a robotic 
drone. 


"Okay, I'm in. Lobby looks like it always does. Probably some graffiti 
drift. Here comes the robot." 


The lobby was compared to previous videos. Some differences in 
the graffiti were noted. Otherwise, no significant changes. 


"I'm heading upstairs now. Goddamn, the robot's heavy. How much 
crap did you load on it? You could've warned me. Gonna rest a 
second on the second landing. Video coming in all right? Cool, 
cool." 


First set of stairs was navigated without trouble. The second floor 
hallway appeared similar to the first floor hallway, though with less 
debris. 


"I've caught my breath. Heading up to the third floor. Wish there was 
a guard rail... Next time, it might be easier to carry the robot and the 
gear separately, and load it in once it's up. The gear's pretty idiot 
proof. | think | could probably figure it out. Damn thing must weigh 
over a hundred pounds. There, on the third floor now. | count... 
twelve doors. Weird spacing. That last door's got to be at least a 
hundred yards down. This place is pretty messed up." 


Rangefinder showed the hallway was approximately forty-five 
meters long. Five doors on each side, evenly spaced, with one more 
door at the end of the hall. Eleven total. 


"I'm heading in. There's not as much graffiti up here. A bit of debris. 
I'm opening one of the doors. Janitor's closet, and, hey, we've got a 
janitor. He's sleeping standing up. That's new. Male, seems to be in 
his mid-fifties. Nametag says " ." A couple old broomsticks, 
what's left of a mop... Looks like rats have been nesting in here. 
They've shredded one of his pantlegs, but looks like they didn't 
touch the sleeper himself. What? You want samples? Eh, sure. 
Wouldn't be the weirdest thing I've picked up for this job. Okay, | 
think that's it." 


Comparison with File 026-4 revealed the sleeper to be ; 
former janitor in SCP-026. Later analysis of the rat feces revealed 
[REDACTED]. Recommended future exploration teams wear 
biohazard gear. 


"Here's a classroom. No, no sleepers. Couple of desks intact, the 
rest looks pretty bad. Looks like someone took a sledgehammer to 
the place. No, wait, | stand corrected. Baseball bat. It's leaning 
against the corner. There's about half a case of beer here, full cans. 
Looks like they left in a hurry. Hey, get the robot to face the board. 
There's something | want you to see. Looks like Latin to me. Could 
be significant. Get someone to translate it, it might be a clue to 
what's gone down here." 


The Latin was found to be a series of sentences showing different 
conjugations of the verb Vendo, to sell. All were found in 's Latin 
Primer, a textbook formerly used by the school. The baseball bat 
was aluminum, and analysis of the fingerprints was inconclusive. 


"Okay, next classroom. Desks look fairly modern. Eighties, I'd 
guess. Chalkboard's got a quote from Nicholas Nickleby on it. Yes, 
I'm sure. It says right there on the board. "The sun does not shine 
upon this fair earth to meet frowning eyes, depend upon it.’ Nicholas 
Nickleby, by Charles Dickens. There's an apple on the desk. Looks 
fresh. I'm tossing it into the drone. Okay, I'm looking out the window. 
Hey, are you guys still out there? Because | see kids in the 
schoolyard. | don't see the van, or any of you. Yeah, second 
classroom on the right. You see me? Weird." 


The apple appeared fresh on the video feed. However, when 
removed from the samples bin, it was in an advanced state of 
decomposition. The drone's feed through the window showed the 
Foundation van on the ground, and the research team looking up at 
the window. No children were seen in the schoolyard. 


"Okay, you want me to head down the hallway? All right. Let's see if 
| actually make it this time. Not holding out any hopes. Walking 
forward. It looks ten feet to the next door, which would actually put it 
in the last room, but who's counting? 


"I'm still here. It's just farther than it looks. Feels like I've been 
walking at least a couple of hours. I'm almost there. I'm just going to 
take a breather. I—Okay, this is wrong. I've stopped moving, but 
now I'm going backwards. The hallway's moving past me. Shit, | just 
saw the door move past me. I'm moving forward again. That's better. 


"Okay, I'm almost there. One last dash and | should make it. And I'm 
back with the robot. | knew it wasn't going to work. There's no way to 
get there, I'm telling you." 


The video feed showed the next door was thirty feet away. The total 
elapsed time from one door to the next was five minutes, in which 
time Agent meandered toward the end of the hallway. No 
anomalous activity was observed while he was standing still. When 
he neared the end of the hallway, Agent turned around and 
quickly returned to the beginning of the hallway. 


"Okay, | hear you. I've got my eyes closed. I'm walking forward. Left, 
got it. Going straight. Correcting left again. Correcting right now. 
Okay, this is going a lot faster. Okay, correcting right. Yes, right, | 


heard you. Goddamnit, | am going right! Okay, left. No it is not the 
same direction! Look, if you think it's that easy, just send the robot 
in." 


The robot was able to reach the end of the hallway with no 
problems. Agent attempted to follow, but was unable to keep a 
straight line to the end of the hallway. 


"Just go ahead and send the bot in. I'm not going to try again until 
we have a better idea what's in there. Something's keeping me out 
of there. We should figure out what it is before anything else. Look, if 
you want to know that badly, go yourself or request some Class Ds. 
I'm not going in. Deal with it." 


At this point the robot opened the door and crossed the threshold 
into another hallway, running perpendicular to the first, thirty meters 
in length. No doors were visible. A single window was observed but 
was situated too high for the view outside to be visible. The walls 
were free of graffiti. The left was a dead-end, while the right 
terminated in a left-hand turn. The robot turned right into the new 
hallway. After ten meters, the unit's GPS showed it to be outside the 
building, though the video feed still showed the hallway. It continued 
to the end of the hallway, and turned left. Agent was just ahead, 
at the beginning of the original hallway. Turning the camera behind 
the robot showed only the stairwell, with no sign of the second 
hallway. The unit's GPS showed it by Agent _ 's position at this 
time. 


"| see another classroom. | don't see the robot, though. | lost track 
after it went through the door. What do you mean it's outside? Did it 
go out through the window? Look, maybe the GPS is screwy. Calm 
down. What do you mean turn around? What the hell am |—Oh, 
fuck! Okay, that's enough. I'm calling it off for the day. We can come 
back after we get some Class Ds in here." 


Interview Log 026-08 


Dr. _:"Please have a seat." 
Agent Walker: "Thank you." 


Dr. _: "Let's get down to business. | understand you're requesting 
a transfer out of fieldwork. Would you like to talk about that?" 


Agent Walker: "I'd rather not." 


Dr. —__: "It's your choice. However, | can't approve a transfer without 
reason." 
Agent Walker: "Look, I..." The agent paused here. "You've seen my 


record. You know | worked on twenty-six, right?" 
Dr. _: "I've read the report." 


Agent Walker: "| was there the first time we took one of the 
sleepers out. A lot of them were adults when they disappeared, but 
they're kids again when we find them. So, | see this sixteen-year-old 
boy just kind of shrivel away. | had nightmares that night." 


Dr. : "You're supposed to report any unusual dreams after 
contacting a potentially mind-altering phenomenon." 


Agent Walker: "It hadn't been declared a mindscrew yet. We just 
thought it was a weird space thing. We were just watching it until the 
Picnickers got there. And it was a shock, you know? We weren't 
expecting anything like that. Anyway, | got over it quick enough. I'd 
seen worse. | once had a guy melt while | was holding onto him." 


Dr. :"l see. What happened next?" 


Agent Walker: "Nothing, for a while. | went in a couple of times, but 
didn't see anything too weird. But... Look, | know | should have 
reported it. But one of my buddies had just been disappeared after 


getting touched by some weird scip, and | didn't want it to happen to 
me." 


Dr. :"You've been affected by an SCP?" 


Agent Walker: "I... Yeah. It was a week later. | was dozing in the 
back of the van, and | started dreaming." 


Dr. :"Can you describe this dream?" 
Agent Walker: "Just like the others. You've read the reports, right?" 
Dr. _: "Pretend that | haven't. For the record, Agent Walker." 


Agent Walker: "All right. I'm in a classroom. It's just like one of the 
ones in 026, but new. Not falling apart. | knew the teacher's name. | 
knew who was sitting by me, even though I'd never seen most of 
them before. The bell started ringing, but no one moved. | raised my 
hand, but the teacher didn't notice. Finally, | tried to leave, but the 
door wouldn't open. Then | noticed something strange with my hand. 
It had color. Everything else was black and white. But | felt like | was 
the one who was... wrong? Out of place? That's when | woke up. 
The van was leaving. No one else noticed I'd been asleep." 


Dr. —_: "And you didn't think to report this?" 


Agent Walker: "Like | said, | was scared. And this was before they 
found Malek. | figured it was just another nightmare. Nothing weird. 
And after Malek had his dream, well, they didn't do anything with 
him, so | figured it wasn't a big deal." 


Dr. : "He was put on observation. You should have been as well, 
for your own safety and for the safety of others." 


Agent Walker: "You paper-pushers think it's all so easy, don't you? 
Sitting behind a desk all day, you don't know what it's like. Well, 
things aren't so clear out there. Not when you're the one hunting 
talking cats in a sewer, or waiting to see if you're the one who's not 
going to come back this time." 


Agent Walker was visibly distressed. It was several minutes before 
she calmed down enough to continue the interview. 


Agent Walker: "Anyway, it wasn't until later that we connected the 
dreams with the sleepers. Not until they found those Class Ds on the 
second floor. Still, | thought | might be okay. | wasn't actually inside 
of twenty-six when | dreamed. | wasn't sure until the dreams 
started." 


Dr. : "You're having reoccurances?" 


Agent Walker: "Yeah. They started six months ago. It's the same 
dream. But each time, it takes me a little longer to notice it isn't real. 
And when | look at my hands, they're a little more gray." 


End interview 026-31 


Note: Agent Walker has since been given a Class A Amnesiac and 
returned to field work. 


SCP-027: The Vermin God 


Item #: SCP-027 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The host of SCP-027 (currently 
subject 027-02) is to be kept ina 5m x 5 m containment cell with a 
grated, raised floor connected to a strong vacuum system. All 
creatures removed from the Subject's containment cell are to be 
incinerated, except for a small portion to be diverted for analysis and 
necropsy. The cell is to be cleaned and inspected for structural 
damage daily. 


Subject 027-02 must be monitored by at least two personnel at all 
times. Any unusual behavior or vital signs on the part of the subject 
or the appearance of any unusual species in the subject’s vicinity 
must immediately be reported to Level 4 personnel. 


Security personnel assigned to SCP-027 must be inoculated against 
all Known animal-borne pathogens and must be armed with 
tranquilizer guns, with standing orders to subdue the subject if the 
need arises. 


Until SCP-027 is better understood, no personnel of Level 4 
Clearance or higher should approach within 200 m of the Subject. 


Description: SCP-027 appears to be a phenomenon of unknown 
source that seems to be tied to one human subject (currently 
027-02) at a time. As host to SCP-027, subject 027-02 is constantly 
surrounded by swarming vermin that are drawn to his location. The 
subject does not appear able to assert control over these creatures 
in any way, and is in fact prone to occasional attacks from feral 
specimens. These creatures have also been known to attack 
personnel who approach too closely. 


Wherever the subject goes, an initial swarm of flying insects such as 


gnats and flies will start to form a cloud around him, usually within 
two to three minutes. Shortly thereafter, crawling animals (including 
lice, cockroaches, worms, spiders, [DATA EXPUNGED], mice, and 
rats) will begin to appear; the longer the subject remains ina 
location, the more vermin will gather there. When the subject leaves 
a location, some of these creatures will follow, but most will 
disperse. 


SCP-027 has been known to transfer between hosts once, upon the 
death of the first known host, Subject 027-01 (see Appendix 1 for 
more information). Since SCP-027 could likely repeat this feat upon 
the death of Subject 027-02, all high-value personnel should be kept 
far away from the current host until more about SCP-027 is 
understood. SCP-027 has also likely transferred between hosts an 
unknown number of times before containment. Research into 
potential previous hosts has commenced, with preliminary evidence 
suggesting that SCP-027 may have existed for atleast years. 


It is not yet known how SCP-027 chooses or attracts animals, or 
even what SCP-027 exactly is. The previous host never expressed 
having any sort of communication with a separate conscious entity; 
analysis of the current host has been inconclusive at best. 


Appendix 1: Timeline of Significant Events 


04/ /199 : Subject 027-01 is discovered in an abandoned 
warehouse outside , , that had been completely overrun by 
rats, cockroaches, and other vermin, and is contained and cataloged 
as SCP-027. The subject is described as a Caucasian male in his 
late thirties, of average height but gaunt, filthy, and covered in bites 
and scratches. The subject also shows symptoms of degraded 
mental health, evidence of heavy use of alcohol and illicit drugs, and 
signs of prolonged sleep deprivation. 


10/ /200 : Subject expires. Autopsy shows more than 70% of the 
subject’s body [DATA EXPUNGED] a colony of rats nesting in the 
subject’s abdomen for at least generations. 


10/ /200 : Between 140 and 150 hours after the Subject’s death, 
Security Officer K F reports being awoken by breathing 


problems due to a large housefly having crawled up his nose (later 
shown to have lain eggs). Subsequent observations lead to 
categorization of Officer F | as subject 027-02, the original host is 
reclassified as subject 027-01, and SCP-027 is redefined. 


[DATA EXPUNGED] 


Appendix 2: Transcript of Interview 027-201 


The following interview was conducted on 10/ /200 , shortly after 
Subject 027-02 was identified and transferred to the containment 
cell that had housed Subject 027-01. 


Dr. Jameson: Good morning, Officer F .How are you 
feeling? 


Subject 027-02: Scared. Confused. Mostly scared 
though. 


J: Understandable.... 


S: And itchy. | feel like | need to shower all the damn 
time. 


J: Ah. But what about, um, inside? Do you feel anything 
different inside you, like a... presence? 


S: [thinks, scratches his head] No, | don't think | do. | 
haven't really noticed anything like that. 


J: You haven't felt anything different since the original 
host died, besides the itching? 


S: No, | can't say | have. 
J: What about any sort of voices, or compulsions— 


S: [agitated] No, | haven't felt anything except bugs 
crawling all over me! | feel dirty, and scared, and... Doc, 
what about my family? You gotta get this thing out of me 
so | can see them again! 


J: Of... of course. We're going to do everything we can 
to get 027 out of you. God, I... I'm sorry, K 


Note: Shortly after this interview took place, Dr. Jameson and 
several other members of the research team for SCP-027 were 
transferred to the SCP-1772 project. 


« SCP-026 | SCP-027 | SCP-028 » 


SCP-028: Knowledge 


Item #: SCP-028 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: No special means are needed 
to contain at this time, as SCP-028 has not shown any change in 
size, position or shape during the entire period of its containment, 
but access must be restricted. Currently, SCP-028 is contained on 
site (Site ), as SCP-028 is not transportable by any known means. 
SCP-028 is sealed in a six (6) by six (6) by three (3) meter (twenty 
(20) by twenty (20) by ten (10) foot) concrete room with a single 
door, with two (2) armed personnel stationed outside. Only 
authorized personnel are to be allowed exposure to SCP-028, and 
extreme care must be taken at all times. While SCP-028 is itself 
harmless, the effect can be very damaging to the unprepared. (See 
document EL-028-1125) 


Description: SCP-028 is located in an abandoned storage yard 
outside a copper mine in northern Michigan. SCP-028 has no 
detectable physical presence of any kind, but its Effect occurs ina 
2.1 meter (7 foot) cube around what is commonly held as the 
“center” of SCP-028. All forms of scanning and testing in the area of 
SCP-028 have shown no abnormal readings. Adding or removing 
objects, or attempting to remove dirt from under SCP-028 has no 
effect in altering the size or shape of SCP-028’s area of effect, nor 
the onset or quality of the Effect. 


Subjects “entering” SCP-028 are, within three (3) to six (6) seconds, 
struck by total and complete knowledge of a subject. This 
knowledge is thus far completely random in both size and 
usefulness, and sometimes goes unnoticed for extended periods of 
time. More “profound” knowledge generally has a stronger effect, 
with some cases [EXPUNGED: SEE DOCUMENT EL-028-1125]. 
This Effect can be experienced multiple times by exiting and re- 
entering SCP-028, but can result in increasingly strong migraines 


and dizziness after two (2) exposures. 


SCP-028 came to the Foundation’s attention after research into 
news reports of a local miner who submitted a design for a cold- 
fusion reactor to the US patent office. Mr. _ reported that it “just 
came to me, like a bolt outta the blue!” News and subjects were 
suppressed and contained after discovery of SCP-028, and the 
reactor designs implemented in the containment of SCP-1995. 
Subsequent testing of SCP-028 has yielded mixed results.

SCP-029: Daughter of Shadows 


SCP-029 just prior to Incident 029-53B 


Item #: SCP-029 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-029 is to be incarcerated 
in a Class 5 containment cell. She is to be allowed access to nothing 
of a physical nature. Her containment cell is to be placed behind a 
triple airlock, to avoid her escape. As of Incident 029-34a, SCP-029 
is no longer to be fed, as she does not appear to need sustenance 
to survive. There are to be three (3) guards on duty at all times on 
her cell, and two (2) guards on monitor duty. 


Floodlights have been installed in the walls of the containment 
chamber, and are to be on at all times. Once a month the chamber 
is to be cleaned and checked for defects. 


Under absolutely no circumstances are any men to encounter 
SCP-029 in any manner. Any males who do encounter SCP-029 are 
to be held under Class 3 detention for interviewing before 
termination. 


SCP-029 has requested: 


¢ A bed (Denied) 

¢ A blanket (Denied) 
¢ Books (Denied) 

¢ Clothes (Denied) 


This is ridiculous! The girl can't even have clothes? We are not 
animals, let her cover herself! -Dr. Ericka Bodeen 


Dr. Bodeen, you are granted permission to deliver clothes to 
SCP-029. -Dr. Light 


As of incident 029-53b, anyone who has potential access to 
SCP-029 is required to first watch Surveillance Tape 029-Bodeen, 
as a reminder of threats involved when working with SCP items and 
SCP-029 in particular. 


Description: SCP-029 appears to be a pubescent female of Asiatic- 
Indian descent. She appears to suffer from alopecia universalis. 
Over 80% of her pigmentation is a true black, while the rest of her 
skin has a complete lack of melanin, to the point of albinism. Her 
eyes are also a dark black in color. 


SCP-029 has severe homicidal tendencies and has displayed a 
remarkable ability to use any item as a weapon. However, she has a 
severe compulsion against shedding blood, preferring instead to 
strangle her victims. SCP-029 has demonstrated dexterity and 
physical reactions four (4) times as fast as the average human. 
SCP-029 has also displayed extensive resistance to damage of all 
forms. Both of these extra human abilities are greatly hampered in 
the presences of bright or direct light, natural or artificial. In addition, 
any males who come within the presence of SCP-029, an area 
defined by her current perception, find themselves pliant to her will. 
Such males become willing to kill or even die for SCP-029. 


SCP-029 refers to herself as , which roughly translates to 
‘Daughter of Darkness,’ 'Daughter of Shadows,’ or 'Daughter of 
Night.’ Interviews with SCP-029 have proven difficult to conduct, due 
to SCP-029's constant attempts to kill or convert all who speak with 
her. Over her years of captivity, the black patches on her skin have 
increased in size. 


SCP-029 was first brought to the Foundation's attention by an Agent 
working in rural India. An attempt on his life led him to a small cult of 
men who claimed to be 'Thuggees,’ in service to the Daughter. 
Several weeks of investigation proved that they believed the world to 
be in the last years of the 'Kali Yuga,’ and that by sacrificing one 
million lives to the Daughter of Darkness, they could raise their 
Goddess and end the world. They also believed that only sacrifices 
performed through strangulation added to this tally. Events led the 
agent to their mountain fortress, where he discovered SCP-029. 
After the loss of said Agent, [DATA EXPUNGED], which ended in 
our acquisition of SCP-029. 


Addendum: Seven (7) years after capture, SCP-029 began 
showing anomalous growth in her black pigmentation. When 
questioned about it, she claimed her ‘followers were on the move 
once more.’ Investigation led us to a concentration of so-called 
‘Thuggees' that had escaped our initial foray. After discovering that 
all her followers were there for one of their holy days, a tactical air 
strike was called in. When the first bomb dropped, SCP-029 awoke 
from slumber, screaming at the top of her lungs. SCP-029 continued 
to scream for the next four (4) hours, ranting and raving that we 
were ‘killing her people.’ Since said event, the growth of black 
pigmentation has stopped completely. Also since said event, 
SCP-029 has redoubled her efforts to escape. SCP-2820 has been 
proposed as a possible method of neutralization should the situation 
worsen.

SCP-030: The Homunculus 


Item #: SCP-030 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-030 is to be held at 
Site-17 within a modified humanoid containment cell. Minor 
adaptations to accommodate its stature, such as an appropriately- 
scaled workspace and chair, are to be included. Lighting within the 
cell may be altered upon request of SCP-030 to a maximum of 2000 
lumens via a simple dimmer switch. Should the need to render 
SCP-030 inert arise, staff may extinguish the lighting from the 
exterior switch and draw blackout curtains as necessary. Standard 
night-vision equipment is available for observation of SCP-030 in its 
inert state. 


SCP-030 may request materials for personal research every 90 
days. All previously requested materials are to be collected and 
destroyed prior to delivery of new materials. All materials are to be 
evaluated and screened by both research and security staff. 
SCP-030 is to be denied access to any modern scientific journals or 
texts, and fiction is to be restricted to works produced no later than 
1623 CE to preserve the integrity of its innate knowledge. 


Staff wishing to consult with SCP-030 in writing are to place a formal 
request (document #030-RS/B) with the supervising researcher on 
duty. All correspondence is to be retained. Staff wishing to consult 
with SCP-030 in person are to submit a formal request to site 
management (documents 030-RP/A, 17-030/A) at least 30 days 
prior to their preferred consultation date. All consultations are to be 
recorded and retained. Senior research staff may request SCP-030 
be temporarily removed from its containment for a maximum of one 
hour to provide observational insight into non-restricted materials or 
events within Site-17. Under no circumstances is SCP-030 to leave 
the confines of Site-17. Requests must be presented in person to 
site management and security staff at least 30 days prior to their 


preferred observational release date. All observational release 
events are to be recorded and retained. SCP-030 has been 
equipped with a tracking device (inventory control code #030-17-1) 
so its location within Site-17 may be determined precisely at any 
time. 


Description: SCP-030 appears as a hairless, genderless, grey- 
toned human 71 centimeters (28 inches) in height and weighing 
12.70 kilograms (two British stone in antiquated measure). Its solid 
blue eyes lack discernible irises or pupils, and resemble small cut 
sapphires. SCP-030 possesses an androgynous voice with a 
pronounced English accent not currently identifiable as specific to 
any modern region. It is able to converse, read and write in Ancient 
Greek, Latin, Italian, English, Spanish and Portuguese as well as 
two (2) additional languages that have not yet been identified 
despite SCP-030's insistence that they should be "common 
knowledge." SCP-030 has also demonstrated knowledge of physics, 
chemistry, astronomy, mathematics and horticulture roughly 
equivalent to that of a 17th-century CE academic. In addition, 
SCP-030 has demonstrated knowledge on these topics along 
research lines that do not appear in the historical record. These 
alternative or entirely unknown approaches to research in the 
natural sciences are one source of SCP-030's utility in consultation. 


SCP-030 remains active while a 15-lumen source of light or greater 
is within 1.5 meters (5 feet). In the absence of light, SCP-030 
becomes inert, apparently losing consciousness and showing no 
outward signs of life. Within five to ten (5-10) seconds of being re- 
exposed to light, SCP-030 becomes active once more, appearing to 
come out of a light slumber no matter how long the period of 
inactivity has been. SCP-030 does not appear to require these 
periods of inactivity as a human would require sleep, and has 
expressed a desire to remain active as often as possible. 


Biopsy analysis of SCP-030 remains inconclusive. While clays 
native to the English counties of Kent, Surrey, and Greater London 
make up the majority of its structure, traces of mandrake 
(Mandragora officinarum), lye, mercury, and human blood have 
been found in each sample taken. SCP-030 has expressed that a 
full exploratory surgery to determine its workings would potentially 


end its existence. Samples removed from SCP-030 do not 
regenerate, and sampling is currently discontinued to preserve its 
integrity. Although SCP-030 can be damaged, it does not appear to 
feel pain, and will simply re-mold any portion of its anatomy that 
experiences deformation. Notably, SCP-030 cannot be molded 
directly by human hands, though any number of tools may be used 
to alter its surface. SCP-030 does not respirate, requires no 
sustenance, and produces no waste, although it does infrequently 
request a bath. 


SCP-030 refers to itself as "Ariel" and regularly requests that staff do 
the same. Questions regarding how SCP-030 was created and by 
whom are routinely answered with the seemingly rote statement: "1 
have been asked to forget that bit of information. Terribly sorry.” 
SCP-030 delivers this response in the same tone and cadence each 
time any question regarding its origins or creator are presented. 
Given its composition and location of origin, a link to the Alchemists 
of Alagadda is suspected. 


SCP-030 was discovered 6/12/ during a mandatory 
archaeological survey within London's Mortlake District pending 
construction of a car park. It was buried approximately 2.7 meters (9 
feet) below street level, contained in a small stone sarcophagus. 
The sarcophagus bore no markings and was assumed to be that of 
a deceased infant as additional graves were discovered in the 
survey area. The sarcophagus lid was shattered during the 
excavation, exposing SCP-030 to daylight. Upon being struck by the 
sun's rays, SCP-030 roused from its inert state to one of mild activity 
within a few seconds, stating, "Good afternoon" to the assembled 
construction team. A member of the Foundation's Greater London 
recon force was summoned within hours and took the specimen into 
custody without resistance. The limited number of witnesses were 
given amnestics and released. 


Addendum 1:

standard potting soil, ginger (Zingiber officinale), a 72- 
gram sample of rutilated quartz, and a 23 cm length of 
coiled copper wire, SCP-030 produces an object/device 
capable of emitting notable levels of directed ultraviolet 
light through unknown means. Device is confiscated. 
Effects not currently replicable without direct intervention 
from SCP-030. Researchers currently in consultation to 
determine if this line of SCP-030's research will be 
permitted to continue. It is soeculated SCP-030 may be 
working towards an alternative and possibly anomalous 
manifestation of the photoelectric effect after receiving 
only minimal information regarding its existence. All 
research by SCP-030 suspended and materials removed 
pending review.

SCP-031: What is Love? 


Item #: SCP-031 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-031 is to be contained ina 
standard humanoid containment chamber, located in Site-77's 
Safe SCP wing. Personnel interacting with SCP-031 are not to view 
it directly, and communicate with test subjects through an intercom 
system installed in each chamber. The containment chamber is to 
be cleaned once per week by custodial staff wearing opaque 
goggles to mitigate SCP-031's effect. 


Description: SCP-031 is an amorphous organism, with a mass of 
75 kilograms. SCP-031 is able to move at a pace of 3 km/h, and 
leaves a trail of oil when it moves. It is only capable of rudimentary 
physical movement. Testing of recovered tissue samples has shown 
that SCP-031 is at least partially composed of human muscle and 
epidermal tissue. SCP-031 is capable of reproducing human speech 
in any pitch or tone, although it is not currently known how 
SCP-031's biology produces them. 


Subjects directly perceiving SCP-031 will see it as an individual the 
subject(s) knew and had a romantic attraction to at some point in 
their past. When made aware that it is being observed, SCP-031 will 
claim to be this person, and that they have been left destitute by 
some event in their past. SCP-031 will use this to attempt to 
persuade the subject to allow it to stay with them for an extended 
period of time, until it is able to return to a stable situation. This 
effect applies to all persons who view SCP-031, and research has 
not determined an upper limit to the number of persons who can be 
affected by SCP-031 at the same time. 


After inspecting the residence, SCP-031 may attempt to start a 
romantic relationship with the subject and if successful it will begin 
living in their home. Several cases have been documented where 


SCP-031 began to actively affect more than one subject at a time, 
eventually having a nest containing between at least eighteen 
different hotel rooms containing subjects with some form of relation 
to SCP-031. 


SCP-031 was recovered following contradictory police records taken 
after a riot in [REDACTED]. Multiple subjects reported wildly 
contradictory views about SCP-031's appearance, and initial civilian 
units were also affected. However, wide distribution of amnesiacs 
and inhaled tranquilizers pacified all affected subjects, and MTF- 
Psi-7 was able to recover SCP-031 from the condemned hotel it had 
taken residence in. As of 11/16/1958, SCP-031 has been classified 
as Safe. 


Addendum: Research has determined that aromantic subjects are 
not affected by SCP-031. However, all of these subjects will report 
SCP-031 as being a small, plump humanoid figure with specific 
features being obscured by dark smoke emanating around the entity 
in the shape of SCP-031's body. Further testing is required to 
explain this phenomenon. Further testing has shown that the 
perception of subjects affected by SCP-1937 is similarly affected.

SCP-032: Brothers’ Bride 


Item #: SCP-032 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-032 is to be housed in 
Automated Containment Unit 535/15. Direct contact with SCP-032 is 
to be restricted to research-relevant tasks only. Interviews, if 
deemed necessary, are to be carried out using the Unit's remote 
communication array. While SCP-032's presence is not directly 
harmful to the human body, exposure to it is to be limited to periods 
of 12 hours or less due to its adverse effects on most beneficial 
microorganisms. SCP-032 is not to be exposed to any biological 
material not refined or otherwise tempered by humanity, with an 
emphasis on non-human living entities. For full list of classifications, 
see Document-032-RCL. SCP-032 neither requires nor requested 
substances or other forms of comfort. 


Description: SCP-032 is a Type-F (imperfect external resemblance, 
internally inconsistent) human simulacrum of currently unknown 
origins. It is composed of an outer shell of pigmented silicone 

(5.5 mm thick), and various plastic fiber polymers, with the outward 
appearance of a Caucasian woman nearing the third decade of life. 
SCP-032's interior is composed entirely of liquid refined oil, lacking 
any skeletal or muscle structure. Despite this, SCP-032 is capable of 
locomotion and speech. SCP-032 is capable of maintaining the 
illusion of humanity at a moderate distance, but becomes 
unconvincing at a closer range, causing mild discomfort in most 
observers. This effect has been deemed non-anomalous. Despite 
apparently possessing fully-realized cognitive abilities, SCP-032 
claims that it is not sapient, acting only as an intermediary 
instrument of its creators. The Foundation has not been able to 
verify or refute this claim as of yet. 


SCP-032 possesses extreme adverse effects to any biological entity 
in its close vicinity not created, willfully influenced, manipulated by or 


similarly relating to humanity. While the exact nature of these effects 
varies, SCP-032's presence inevitably causes severe and 
irreparable damage to the ability of any living organism to exchange 
and/or use energy: wild flora loses its ability to produce 
photosynthesis or otherwise produce or consume energy, fauna the 
use of its respiratory and digestive systems, etc. This applies to 
microorganisms as well, though SCP-032's effects seem to favor 
damage to their reproductive systems instead. It is hypothesized 
that the symbiotic relation some microorganisms have to humanity is 
the reason for this discrepancy. 


SCP-032 was discovered sitting on the doorstep of the inner 
compound of Foundation Site- near , Slovakia. When 
questioned by Foundation security personnel, SCP-032 explained its 
anomalous effects and claimed it was there 'to be stored’. 
Surveillance footage show no record of the time of its arrival, and it 
is not yet known how SCP-032 came to know Site- 's location or 
approach it without being spotted. When asked for its reason for 
seeking Foundation custody, SCP-032 replied that it was there at 
the command of its creators, seeking ‘indefinite storage, until 
claimed’. 


Addendum: 
+ Interview 032-A 


Note: this interview was recorded near the 
time of SCP-032's initial containment by Dr. 
Alexander Kovac, Site- resident psychologist, 
following its initial examination by Site 
Security. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Kovac: Before we begin, there's 
something | feel | should ask you, since 
security so often neglects doing so. It's not 
strictly confirming to protocol, but | find it tends 
to make things easier. 


SCP-032: | was instructed to cooperate. 


Dr. Kovac: Good, very good. Tell me then, 
what is your name? 


SCP-032: | don't have one. People have 
names. I'm not one. 


Dr. Kovac: Is that so? What did your so-called 
creators call you then? 


SCP-032: They didn't. 


Dr. Kovac: Surely, they had to refer to you 
somehow? 


SCP-032: | am a vessel of their will, and 
nothing else. They never needed to call. They 
never will. 


Dr. Kovac: In that case, would you mind if | 
refer to you as SCP-032? 


SCP-032: | was instructed to cooperate. 


Dr. Kovac: So you said, so you said. Tell me 
then, what is the purpose of your coming 
here? 


SCP-032: | am to be stored here until 
collected. 


Dr. Kovac: Security told me that much, but 
why here, and collected by whom? 


SCP-032: Collected by the ones they wish to 
torment, and stored here because in finding 
me here he will suffer further. 


Dr. Kovac: Is that so? Is that person you refer 
to part of this organization then? Do your 
creators bear some grudge towards a 
particular operative? 


SCP-032: He is not one of you. Merely a... 
one-time sympathizer, of sorts. He believes 
you tried to help him once, and if he is forced 
here, if he finds me here, you will die. That will 
hurt him. They have no interest in any of you, 
or your organization. You are here as a tool, 
just as | am. 


Dr. Kovac: Who is this man then? What did he 
do to earn this sort of treatment from your 
creators? 


SCP-032: He did not know his place. Won 
when he should have lost, was proud when he 
should have been humbled. Was wasteful with 
gifts too precious for abuse. 


Dr. Kovac: And you are here as punishment? 


SCP-032: He was already punished. Severely. 
Forced away from kin and kind, to endlessly 
wander, to destroy against his will. To poison 
humanity by his very presence. Eternal 
solitude, flavored by ceaseless guilt. A 
masterwork of torment, they say. 


Dr. Kovac: If that's the case, why are you 
here? 


SCP-032: Because even in this existence, 
there is the occasional moment of solace. At 
times, he may yet look to the world and see 
things he will not destroy. Look to nature and 
feel warm wonder, and bask in the false light 
of ancient, moldy memories. It keeps him 
sane, gives him hope. That will not serve. 
Hence my presence. | am to be his last 
undoing, a hastening to the end of reason. 


Dr. Kovac: And how will your presence do 
that? Are you meant to deceive him in some 


way? Is that why you look the way you do? 


SCP-032: In a manner of speaking. 
Eventually, his wanderings will lead him here, 
to me. In a day, or a month, or a century. And 
he will recognize me, and see what they think 
of his precious memories. How they mock 
them. He'll understand that because of his 
actions, she is forever beyond his grasp, and 
all that remains to him is... me. A simulacrum 
as artificial as his hope. When he finds me, | 
will attach myself to him, and he will watch the 
mockery of his memories destroy his last 
source of solace. And that will be that. 


Dr. Kovac: |... um. You said he will recognize 
you. Why? 


SCP-032: | used to be his wife. 
<End Log> 
+ Interview 032-B 


Note: This interview was held six months 
following SCP-032's initial containment, as 
part of a series of interviews meant to evaluate 
SCP-032's cognitive abilities and personality, 
or lack thereof. 


<Begin Log> 
SCP-032: | hate her. 


Dr. Kovac: Well... that's certainly a way to 
start an interview. Care to elaborate? 


SCP-032: The one | was made to look like. 
My... mold. | hate her. 


Dr. Kovac: An interesting sentiment for you to 
have, considering your repeated assurance 


that you possess no consciousness or feelings 
of your own. 


SCP-032: | don't. | hate her because they want 
me to. It serves their purpose. 


Dr. Kovac: How do you get that impression? 


SCP-032: The first thing they did, after 
creating me, was to show her to me. It's not 
something they often do. 


Dr. Kovac: | don't follow. 


SCP-032: Interfere with those who passed 
beyond their halls. They might be vengeful, 
spiteful, even cruel, but they take their duties 
very seriously. Just to show her to me, to risk 
disturbing her final rest... they wouldn't do that 
without a purpose. 


Dr. Kovac: And- 


SCP-032: She was beautiful. So peaceful, 
serene. Whole. Even gone, even dead, | could 
see the essence of who she used to be... of 
who she still was, and forever will be. Her soul. 
They told me she didn't get to live for all that 
long, but when she lived... she was herself. 
She was alive. And so | hated her. 


SCP-032: Do you know what it feels like, to be 
made as a mockery? In every line of that 
smooth, silent face, | saw a twisted reflection 
in my own. Fragrant skin to molded plastic, 
soft hair to synthetic fiber, blood to oil. Soul to 
nothing at all. 


Dr. Kovac: Excuse me if this sounds 
presumptuous, but | can't imagine feelings like 
this coming from anywhere but yourself. 


SCP-032: [Shakes head] Can't you see? This 
is all a part of their plan. When he finds me, 
when he sees what the Brothers created just 
to punish him further... he'll go mad. 


Dr. Kovac: Because of what they did to the 
memory of his wife? 


SCP-032: Not only that. Because he'll see me. 
He'll see how much | hate her, and how much | 
hate myself for not being her. Hate being here 
at all. 


Dr. Kovac: And then what? 
SCP-032: Then... a final realization. 
Dr. Kovac: And what would that be? 
SCP-032: He never won.

SCP-033: The Missing Number 


Item #: SCP-033 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-033 should be inscribed 
on any single sheet of irregularly-shaped and hand-crafted paper, 
papyrus, canvas or vellum when not involved in active observation 
or study. The dimensions of the paper-like product should have no 
parallel borders, no right angles, and no side's length should be 
equal to any other (033-Safe dimensions). When contained in this 
manner, the paper-like product should be secured in a locked non- 
combination storage vault at least 30 meters from any computing or 
recording device. Logs for check-out or check-in of SCP-033 should 
be filled out at the minimum safe distance of 30 meters to avoid 
possible contamination of the paper product or electronic device the 
log is kept in. 


When removed for study, SCP-033 can be copied to a white/ 
chalkboard with 033-Safe dimensions by Class D staff. Upon 
transfer to the white/chalkboard, the paper-like product that had 
contained SCP-033 should be incinerated. Observation and study 
should take place in a secured conference room at least 30 meters 
from any computing or recording device for the maximum 2560 
second viewing window. All observations or notes should be made 
on 033-Safe materials. Under no circumstances should any notes 
regarding SCP-033 leave the storage facility or be input into a 
computing or recording device. 


At precisely 2000 seconds of viewing, research must stop and 
SCP-033 should be transferred to a new 033-Safe paper-like 
product and returned to storage by Class D staff. The white/ 
chalkboard utilized in research must be incinerated as soon as 
possible after the transfer is complete, regardless of whether 
SCP-033 has faded "naturally" from its surface at 2560 seconds. 


Whether 033-Safe procedures halt or merely slow the deleterious 
effects of SCP-033 is unknown. It is theorized the irregular borders 
and hand-crafting by mathematically unpredictable humans 
somehow disrupt the logic which allows SCP-033 to function. 


Description: SCP-033 appears as a field of complex mathematical 
symbols ranging from simple layman-identifiable representations to 
those only interpretable by highly-trained mathematicians. The 
"sum" of the symbols is equal to a previously unknown integer 
(designated Theta Prime by Prof. Hutchinson) of intermediate value 
between and . 


As all modern mathematical calculations are performed lacking the 
knowledge or use of SCP-033, its introduction into any system 
organized without it begins eroding the numerical and eventually 
structural integrity of said system. This effect extends to SCP-033's 
transfer to any paper-like (defined as paper, vellum, papyrus, 
canvas) surface not possessing 033-Safe dimensions or any 
computing or recording device it is input into. If inscribed on any 
other material, SCP-033 fades into unintelligibility in precisely 2560 
seconds. In addition, SCP-033 has shown an ability to "leap" from 
an 033-Safe material to a manufactured or electronic material which 
it can destabilize in at least one (1) instance (Incident report 033-D), 
requiring the institution of a 30 meter safe distance for electronic 
devices and paper-like products without 033-Safe dimensions. 


There is currently no 033-Safe specification for electronic storage. 
of the operational research projects involving SCP-033 are 
dedicated to finding such a method for electronic storage. 
operational research projects are dedicated to the application of 
SCP-033 as a neutralizing factor for potentially hostile, machine 
logic-based SCP objects. Clarifying commentary from Prof. 
Hutchinson follows for non-specialist staff in document 033-A. 
Effects may be reviewed in document 033-Q. 


Document 033-A: Debriefing of Prof. Hutchinson after first 
observation. 


[Transcript edited for clarity] 


Prof. Hutchinson : Every school child knows that 2 plus 2 is 4. The 


solid mathematical certainty of numerical order and value is the 
basis for all logic-based systems. We know that after 2 comes 3 and 
after 3 comes 4. What this formula proves is that we missed a 
number somewhere. Imagine if all our technology was based on the 
belief that after 4 came 6. We simply didn't know or conceive of 5. 
That is, in essence, what this formula proves—we missed a number. 


Prof. Hutchinson : | can't tell you why the hand-crafted vellum works 
best. | can only surmise that it displaces mathematical predictability 
in two ways. One, the irregularity of the crafting process due to 
human error serves to eliminate any traces of regularity that would 
be found in a machine-created product. Two, the irregular borders 
seem to confuse it somehow, as if it gets locked up looking for a 
pattern to identify and use as an escape hatch. I'll tell you this, 
though, | don't think it should be left on anything longer than a few 
days. It will find a pattern eventually. 


Prof. Hutchinson : | don't think it "destroys" anything. | think it tries 
integrating itself into our system and our system can't hold it. It's like 
trying to cram another book into a full bookshelf. If you get a 
hammer, you can get it in there, but the whole shelf bursts 
eventually. If it gets out into the internet, we will potentially 
experience a full IT infrastructure collapse within hours.

SCP-034: Obsidian Ritual Knife 


Item #: SCP-034 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-034 is to be kept ina 
secure room with access granted only to Level 4 personnel. 
SCP-034 itself will be kept in a locked case that is under 24-hour 
surveillance. When not in lab conditions, SCP-034's protective 
sheath cannot be removed under any circumstances. Any personnel 
in contact with SCP-034 must be placed under a 24-hour 
observation period until their identities can be confirmed. 


Description: SCP-034 is a primitive knife constructed out of pure 
obsidian. Tests reveal that SCP-034 is approximately 1000 years 
old. Despite its crude method of construction and age, SCP-034 is 
still incredibly sharp and requires no maintenance at all. Expert 
analysis hypothesizes that SCP-034 may be of South American 
origin, and that it was used in Native American rituals. Several 
accounts from Spanish conquistadors exploring the region 
support this hypothesis, with detailed writings on how priests 
would flay their victims alive with similar knives and wear their skin 
as a tribute to their gods. 


SCP-034 has the ability to allow its bearer to take on the 
appearance of another individual. If SCP-034 is used to cut a piece 
of flesh from a living individual, and that piece of flesh is placed 
against the skin of another individual, the second individual would 
take on not only the appearance, but all physical characteristics of 
the first individual. Testing has shown that the minimum amount of 
skin required can be as little as one (1) square centimeter. However, 
testing has also revealed that the amount of time the facade lasts is 
directly proportional to the amount of flesh used. The ratio of time 
the facade lasts to flesh used has been measured at approximately 
one (1) hour for every square centimeter used. Once the time limit 
has passed, the affected individual will revert to his original form. 


Analysis of SCP-034's ability shows that its method of mimicking 
another individual is nearly flawless. Not only does SCP-034 change 
physical appearance, but actual physical attributes as well, including 
height, weight, muscle mass, bone density, hair growth, eyesight, 
strength, physical medical conditions, and even DNA. Subjects still 
retain their original personality and memories. Even though the 
process is nearly instantaneous, taking only a few seconds, human 
test subjects have described the transformation process as 
extremely painful. Subjects also may suffer psychological trauma 
depending on the extent of their physical transformation. Side 
effects are especially serious if the subject takes on the appearance 
of a person with differing gender or with wildly different physical 
attributes. 


However, in order to function properly, the individuals who have their 
flesh cut off by SCP-034 must still be biologically alive to maintain 
the facade. Should the individual whose identity has been stolen 
expire, the effect immediately wears off. Further details may be 
found in Lab Report 034A. Also, SCP-034 only appears to work on 
human subjects. Cross-species experiments with SCP-034 have 
resulted in [DATA EXPUNGED] 


SCP-034 came into Foundation possession when an imposter 
disguised as Dr. attempted to infiltrate Site . The impostor was 
apprehended when authorities discovered the real Dr. tied up in 
his home with a large portion of his right arm skinned. Further details 
may be found in Post Interrogation Report 2211. 


Lab Report-034A: We've decided to test several scenarios dealing 
with the limits of SCP-034's capabilities. 


“Test 1: Sample taken from deceased human cadaver and applied 
to subject D-452. No effect. 


*Test 2: Sample taken from D-532 and applied to D-452. D-452 
successfully mimics D-532's appearance. Upon termination of 
D-532, D-452 immediately reverts back to original form. 


“Test 3: Sample taken from a brain-dead medical patient and 
applied to subject D-452. D-452 successfully mimics the patient's 
appearance and manages to maintain the facade. 


“Test 4: Sample taken from a terminally ill medical patient and 
applied to subject D-452. The patient's terminal illness was caused 
by an inherent genetic defect. D-452 successfully mimics the 
patient's appearance as well as the patient's illness. Both the 
terminally ill patient and D-452 expire at the same time, after which 
D-452 reverts back to original form. 


*Test 5: [DATA EXPUNGED] 
Post Interrogation Report 2211: 


As per standard operating procedure, we first attempted to 
interrogate the prisoner via non-violent and non-invasive means. 
However, when such methods proved ineffective, we began to 
implement conventional interrogation techniques. While partially 
successful, we deemed it necessary to use SCP- ,SCP- , SCP- 
and SCP-_ . We managed to learn the following facts: 


*The prisoner had extensive knowledge on the existence of the 
Foundation and its inner workings. 

*The prisoner had extensive knowledge on other SCP-related 
agencies and groups. 

*The prisoner was not acting under any official capacity from any 
government agency. 

*The prisoner obtained SCP-034 and instructions on its operation 
from an unknown benefactor. 

*The prisoner was given very specific instructions to infiltrate Site- 
and maintain his position until further notice. 

*The prisoner had enough samples of Dr. to stay within Site- 
for days. 


Regrettably, the prisoner did not survive interrogation. -Agent

SCP-035: Possessive Mask 


Item #: SCP-035 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-035 is to be kept within a 
hermetically sealed glass case, no fewer than 10 centimeters (4 
inches) thick. This case is to be contained within a steel, iron and 
lead-shielded room at all times. Doors are to be triple-locked at all 
times, with the exception of allowing personnel in or out. No fewer 
than two (2) armed guards are to be posted at any time. Guards 
must remain outside at all times and are not allowed within the 
containment room under any circumstances. A trained psychologist 
is to remain on site at all times. Research personnel are not to touch 
SCP-035 at any time. SCP-035 must be moved to a new sealed 
case every two (2) weeks. The previous case must be disposed of 
via SCP-101, as it shows no adverse reactions to SCP-035's 
“corruption”. Anyone who comes into contact with SCP-035 when it 
is in possession of a host is to be given an immediate psychological 
evaluation. 


Description: SCP-035 appears to be a white porcelain comedy 
mask, although, at times, it will change to tragedy. In these events, 
all existing visual records, such as photographs, video footage, even 
illustrations, of SCP-035 automatically change to reflect its new 
appearance. 


A highly corrosive and degenerative viscous liquid constantly seeps 
from the eye and mouth holes of SCP-035. Anything coming into 
contact with this substance slowly decays over a period of time, 
depending on the material, until it has decayed completely into a 
pool of the original contaminant. Glass seems to react the slowest to 
the effects of the item, hence the construction choice of its 
immediate container. Living organisms that come into contact with 
the substance react much the same way, with no chance of 
recovery. Origin of the liquid is unknown. Liquid is only visible from 


the front, and does not emerge or is even visible from the other side. 


Subjects within 1.5 to 2 meters (5-6 feet) of SCP-035, or in visual 
contact with it, experience a strong urge to put it on. When SCP-035 
is placed on the face of an individual, an alternate brain wave 
pattern from SCP-035 overlaps that of the original host, effectively 
snuffing it out and causing brain death to the subject. Subject then 
claims to be the consciousness contained within SCP-035. The 
bodies of "possessed" subjects decay at a highly accelerated rate, 
eventually becoming little more than mummified corpses. 
Nevertheless, SCP-035 has demonstrated the ability to remain in 
cognitive control of a body experiencing severe structural damage, 
even if the subject's body literally decays to the point where motion 
is not mechanically possible. No effect is found to be had when 
placed on the face of an animal. 


Conversations with SCP-035 have proven to be informative. 
Researchers have learned various details about other SCP objects 
and history in general, as SCP-035 claims to have been at many 
momentous events. SCP-035 displays a highly intelligent and 
charismatic personality, being both amiable and flattering to all those 
who speak with it. SCP-035 has scored in the 99th percentile on all 
intelligence and aptitude tests administered to it, and appears to 
have a photographic memory. 


However, psychological analysis has discovered SCP-035 to 
possess a highly manipulative nature, capable of forcing sudden and 
profound changes to interviewer's psychological state. SCP-035 has 
proven to be highly sadistic, prompting some to commit suicide and 
transforming others into near-mindless servants with linguistic 
persuasion alone. SCP-035 has stated that it has intimate 
knowledge of the workings of the human mind and implied that it 
could change anyone's views if given enough time. 


Additional: SCP-035 was found in a sealed crypt in an abandoned 
house in Venice, in 18 . 


Addendum 035-01: SCP-035 has been found to be able to possess 
anything that has a humanoid shape, including mannequins, 
corpses, and statues. SCP-035 has been able to motivate all into 
movement, removing the need to expose live subjects to SCP-035. 


Still, anything it possesses inevitably decays into motionlessness. 


Addendum 035-02: SCP-035 has facilitated an escape attempt, 
convincing several of the research staff to aid it in its bid for 
freedom. Insurrection failed. All staff that have been in contact with 
SCP-035 have been terminated, and mandatory psychiatric 
evaluations have been implemented for all personnel coming in 
contact with SCP-035. 


Addendum 035-03: It has been determined that SCP-035 is 
capable of telepathy, whether or not it possesses a host, even 
penetrating to the subconscious of others, and using the knowledge 
it finds to its advantage. Extreme caution is advised when choosing 
subjects to converse with SCP-035. 


Addendum 035-04: SCP-035 has expressed an interest in other 
SCPs, most notably scP-—517 and SCP-682. Dr. has 
expressed worry that should SCP-035 bond with either, their 
regenerative qualities would negate its corruption and give it a 
permanent host. 


Addendum 035-05: After several more escape attempts, and after 
reviewing SCP-035's incident record, high command has ordered 
that it be permanently sealed within the facility and prohibited from 
being allowed any more hosts. Several personnel have protested 
against this, with some even erupting into violence. As a direct 
result, all personnel that have come into contact with SCP-035 have 
been terminated. Going forward, all personnel that deal with 
SCP-035 are to be rotated frequently, and contact is to be limited 
even to its dormant state to as little as possible. 


Addendum 035-06: Personnel within 10 meters of SCP-035 have 
recently reported feeling unease, stating that they can hear 
unintelligible whispering. Several others have suffered from severe 
migraines. Object has been monitored, but there is no change in its 
dormant behavior, and no sounds have been recorded. 


The motion to reinstate SCP-035's host privileges has been brought 
up once more, if only on a temporary basis to discover these new 
changes in the object's behavior. (Denied) 


Addendum 035-07: The walls of SCP-035's containment cell have 
suddenly begun secreting a black substance. Tests on the 
substance have revealed it to be human blood, although highly 
contaminated with several foreign and unknown agents. Substance 
is corrosive, having a pH of 4.5, and prolonged exposure to the walls 
has proven to be detrimental to their structural integrity. 


More notably, it seems to be forming patterns on the walls. Several 
segments seem to be paragraphs in various languages, including 
Italian, Latin, Greek, and Sanskrit. Translation is pending. Other 
segments appear to be diagrams depicting ritualistic sacrifice and 
mutilation, often for the arcane benefit of the person committing 
them. Several staff members have been shocked to note that all of 
the sacrifices bear an uncanny resemblance to various personnel 
and their loved ones, often in conflicting positions. 


Researchers while in the room examining these newly formed 
patterns have complained of hearing loud whispering, and high 
pitched, unnerving laughter at irregular intervals. 


Personnel in the section working daily near and around SCP-035's 
containment unit have suffered catastrophic morale damage, with an 
all time high in suicide rates in staff in that area, whether or not they 
have ever had contact with SCP-035. 


The only change in SCP-035's dormant behavior is regarding its 
contained glass case. Degradation of the case has increased to a 
high degree, enough so that the glass will occasionally shatter, 
causing a wide dispersal of SCP-035's contaminant. This occurs 
quite often at the most inopportune times, so far resulting in six (6) 
casualties and three (3) fatalities of both research and cleanup staff. 


Addendum 035-08: In light of the mass suicide/homicide of the 
members of the research team tasked with translating the passages 
garnered from SCP-035's containment cell, the morale damage in 
the area, and general loss of staff dealing with SCP-035 to either 
death or insanity, it has been decided to coat the inner and outer 
walls of its containment cell with SCP-148, which has proved well in 
the containment of ScP-132 (see Document 132-01), in order to 
hopefully block out the high levels of negativity being emitted by 
SCP-035. 


Addendum 035-09: The use of SCP-148 has worked well, causing 
morale and suicide rates to return to near pre-SCP-035 rates. 


However, the material appears to facilitate the negativity within the 
cell, causing a veritable "Greenhouse Effect" inside. Personnel 
inside the cell have stated that they feel a heavy sense of dread, 
fear, anger, and general depression, as well as hearing constant, 
nearly inaudible whispering upon immediate entry. A prolonged stay 
causes severe migraines, suicidal tendencies, heavy hemorrhaging 
of blood vessels around the eyes and inside the mouth and nose, 
general hostility to others, and for the whispering to increase to 
almost deafening volumes, intersected by a constant mocking 
laughter. Exposure of more than three (3) hours inevitably results in 
the subject falling into a deep psychosis, and attempting to harm 
either themselves or others. Most spoke in Latin or Greek, despite 
the fact that several did not previously know how to speak said 
languages beforehand. 


The presence of blood in both word and diagram formations has 
increased disproportionately, the walls becoming cluttered, and the 
formations beginning to overlap each other. The substance has 
proven to be both difficult to clean, and even more corrosive than 
was originally recorded, with a pH of roughly 2.4. General estimation 
gives the current walls a life of two (2) months before they will need 
replacement. 


It is becoming gradually more and more difficult to contain SCP-035, 
and the debate to reinstate its host privileges has once again come 
up. (Denied) 


Addendum 035-10: The walls, ceiling and floor of SCP-035's 
containment cell have now been completely saturated in blood. All 
personnel entering and guarding the area must wear full Hazmat 
protection suits. Constant cleaning efforts are being instated. 


Addendum 035-11: The magnitude, intensity, and recurrence of the 
phenomena that occur within SCP-035's containment cell have 
increased to an alarming degree. The cell door has been known to 
become locked of its own accord while personnel are inside, and 
unable to be opened for a period of time. Appendages form out of 
the larger puddles of blood and often attempt to grab or harm 


personnel near them. Blurry apparitions have started appearing to 
staff. Electronic devices no longer work inside the cell, and the light 
cannot be turned on, though there is no physical reason why it does 
not work, forcing those entering to use non-electric based light 
sources. 


Cleaning measures are having no discernible effect on the cell, and 
the walls are degrading at a very high rate, forcing them to be 
replaced within a week at best, although the blood makes it nearly 
impossible to properly achieve this. 


SCP-035 may have to be moved to a new cell entirely, with the old 
one sealed off and disengaged from the rest of the facility.

SCP-036: The Reincarnation Pilgrimage of the Yazidi 
(Kiras Guhorin) 


The Pilgrimage Flight awaiting take-off 


Item #: SCP-036 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Once every year, a mobile task 
force is dispatched from Containment Command-02 in 
[EXPUNGED] to Site-22A to defend the runway and airport located 
there. The civilian facility is to be cleared of all non-SCP personnel 
by 0400 hours of September 23 and none are allowed to return until 
sunrise the next day. On October 1, all civilians must be evacuated 
again before sunrise and will not be allowed on to Site-22A until the 
return of the "Pilgrimage flight." 


Pilgrims in transit from the "Arrival Flight" awaiting departure on the 
"Pilgrim Flight" may only be cross-examined by researchers with 
Level 3 security level clearance or higher. 


Description: SCP-036 includes the location, Site-22A (a small 
airport in the Mosul region of northern Iraq) and Site-22B (the 
destination of passengers boarding at Site-22A). The key 
components of SCP-036 are: 


¢ The "Arrival flight"- A passenger plane (that varies in make 
and model from year to year) that arrives shortly before dawn 
on September 23. It appears on radar about 30-40 kilometers 
away from Site-22A. When it lands, "pilgrims" exit the plane 
and enter the terminal. No crew have ever left the plane. 
Observations have only revealed a masked pilot and co-pilot. 
This plane leaves quickly after pilgrims exit and does not wait 
for clearance for take off, nor does it identify itself upon 
approach for landing. 


* The "Pilgrims"- People of the Yazidi faith that exit the "Arrival" 
plane, who are said to be undergoing the "kiras guhorin”. 
Each year they are examined and identified as various people 
of the Yazidi faith that have died during the previous year. 
This is done through birth certificates, photo IDs, specific 
knowledge questions, and when possible, finger printing. Most 
have been known to be friendly and amicable though most are 
reluctant to give details about the kiras guhorin. In the past, all 
have shown to be unable to recognize family and friends or 
been able to remember any information beyond what short 
term memory would normally allow. In the late afternoon of 
September 23rd, most pilgrims begin to emphasize how 
important it is that their pilgrimage must begin. At that time, 
they file onto the "Pilgrimage flight" plane and depart, never to 
be seen again. 


¢ The "Pilgrimage Flight"- A passenger plane provided by SCP 
personnel for the transport of "the pilgrims," it is manned by a 
crew of trained Yazidi holy men. The crew are typically never 
able to elaborate upon details of the pilgrimage or what the 
kiras guhorin actually is. SCP equipment on board function 
optimally but recorded data will only slightly increase our 
understanding of the pilgrimage each year. Though the flight 
is gone for seven days, the crew and recorded data are only 
able to account for a few hours. Days are missing from time 
recording equipment and cameras, though nothing abnormal 
is ever observed. The plane disappears from radar and visual 
contact is lost about 50-60 km away from Site-22A until it 
returns about sunrise on October 1. 


Site-22B- The destination of the "Pilgrimage plane," itis a 
small airport consisting of a runway and single building 
located at coordinates [EXPUNGED]. It has only been 
observed by "Pilgrimage crew" and cameras on the plane. It 
does not appear on satellite images and attempts to reach it 
on foot have failed, once with disastrous results. Cameras 
have trouble focusing on the area, as the heat from the 
ground usually causes a mirage-like visual effect on all objects 
more than a few dozen meters from the plane. A fly over with 
an SCP reconnaissance plane several weeks before the 


pilgrimage revealed undeveloped land and what looked like an 
ancient stone statue. In the 1990s, SCP Mobile Task Force 
Sigma-4 attempted to reach Site-22B during the time of the 
pilgrimage. Upon the approach, communication was lost and 
the Task force was never heard from again. No other 
exploration attempts are advised during the seven (7) day 
pilgrimage. 


Originally, the Kurdish speaking Yazidi people around Mosul 
secretly performed the Pilgrimage themselves. Pilgrims from the 
east were escorted by masked armed guards on camel back into the 
care of Yazidi holy men. It has been explained that the holy men 
would then take the pilgrims west to their "land of the dead," where 
the pilgrims would wait to be "reborn" back into the Yazidi people. 
The "kiras guhorin", literally Kurdish for "changing garments," is 
used to describe the belief of reincarnation that lesser souls of the 
Yazidi undergo. While this actual pilgrimage was done in secret, a 
symbolic pilgrimage and "kiras guhorin" are performed every year at 
this time by other Yazidi. 


During the 1960s, land acquisition by Kurds and Muslims, attacks by 
Turks, and punitive laws by the Islamic lraqgi Government, restricted 
the movements and customs of the Yazidi. During that time, the 
Foundation stepped in and offered aid in the way of an 
advantageous clause that granted SCP planes unrestricted access 
to airport facilities in the area. Almost immediately, mysterious 
planes carrying pilgrims from the east began landing at the local 
airport and an elusive airport at the destination appeared as well.

SCP-037: Dwarf Star 


Item #: SCP-037 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedure: SCP-037 is magnetically 
contained at Site-32. It is housed in a small subterranean room 
composed of a heat conducting, radiation-resistant polymer and 
evacuated of any atmosphere. Heat from the object is radiated into 
the surrounding rock. Should the integrity of the enclosure become 
compromised, the emergency system will generate a low power 
argon plasma shield until it is repaired. In the contingency of a 
[ACCESS DENIED]. 


Description: The artifact was discovered in 19 above the Beaufort 
Sea at approximately the North Magnetic Pole. Intense 
electromagnetic interference was reported by Canadian Forces 
Station (CFS) Alert, followed by an extremely bright object 
descending toward the ocean from the sky. The SCPS Guardian 
responded and discovered the object wavering in an erratic 
trajectory about 200 m above the surface of the water. Once 
containment procedures were devised it was transported to Site-32 
for study. 


SCP-037 is apparently a star approximately 5 cm (2 in) in diameter, 
with a luminosity of about 1*10-12 times that of our sun and a 
surface temperature of about 5000 K (determined by UBVRI 
analysis). The age and origin of SCP-037 is unknown, however, its 
nuclear activity is being carefully monitored for irregularities. 
Spectral analysis and comparison to known celestial bodies suggest 
that it is a typical (other than its uncharacteristic size) star quickly 
undergoing the transition to a red giant, though it is unknown if 
established theories of star formation and aging apply. It is thought 
to have entered the Earth's magnetosphere via the North Magnetic 
Pole. 


Containment and transport of SCP-037 have been achieved by the 
use of powerful electromagnets, to which the artifact aligns itself 
according to its own magnetic field. The primary challenge to 
containment thus far has been its powerful electromagnetic 
emissions, which are intense enough to be easily seen by the naked 
eye from high Earth orbit. Its current enclosure is located deep 
underground to prevent detection and to facilitate radiative cooling 
into the surrounding bedrock. In effect, the entire facility and the 
surrounding volume of the Earth's crust act as a massive heat sink. 


Over years of study, the star has undergone a shift in emitted EM 
radiation, suggesting that it is undergoing stellar evolution at a vastly 
accelerated rate. If standard stellar models hold up, this will soon 
result in an increase in radius by a factor of 100 to 300 times, anda 
concomitant increase in radiated energy. Emergency containment 
contingencies are being studied for that eventuality. Further 
progression of the star's life cycle will likely terminate in a stellar 
nova, which is estimated to have a yield of . Extrapolations 
predict this to occur in . Research is underway for a method 
to arrest this development or to transport SCP-037 a safe distance 
from the planet before it occurs.

SCP-038: The Everything Tree 


Item #: SCP-038 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedure: SCP-038 is to be watered twice 
per day via overhead mister. Should the mister break for any 
reason, attendants should water SCP-038 by hand until it has been 
fixed. Lighting is provided by computer-controlled lighting array. 
Attendants watering SCP-038 by hand and maintenance personnel 
fixing mister or lighting should wear hazmat suits to prevent 
accidental cloning. 


Description: SCP-038 was found on an abandoned farm in 

, New York, in 19 . It was at first thought to be a common 
apple tree. However, upon closer inspection, it became apparent 
that SCP-038 was growing things other than apples and, in fact, 
other than fruit. 


SCP-038 has the ability to clone any object that touches its bark. 
Objects begin growing almost instantaneously and reach maturity 
within a matter of minutes. A weight limit of 90.9 kg (200 Ib) per 
object has been previously recorded. Objects that SCP-038 has thus 
far cloned include: apples, oranges, watermelons, eggplants, candy 
bars, snack foods (See Addendum #1), televisions, toasters, 
laptops, keys (See Addendum #2), chairs, wine, DVDs, CDs (See 
Addendum #8), cats, dogs, and people. 


Human and animal cloning through SCP-038 is not recommended, 
as they appear to age quickly. The majority of these clones live, on 
average, two (2) weeks. After thorough examination of the deceased 
clones, it has been determined that they had begun to ferment 
before death. 


Object is currently held on Site-23 and there are currently no plans 
to move it. 


Addendum #1: Dr. Klein has requested that personnel discontinue 
the cloning of items from the vending machines. (See Document 
#338-1) 


Addendum #2: Dr. Klein has requested that personnel discontinue 
the cloning of personal items. (See Document #338-1) 


Addendum #3: Dr. Klein has requested that personnel discontinue 
the cloning of movies and music. (See Document #338-1) 


Addendum #4: Dr. Klein has requested that personnel discontinue 
the cloning of cans of Miller, Budweiser, and Foster's. Dr. Klein has 
furthermore expressed customary disapproval of the quality of such 
cloned items. (See Document #338-1b) 


Document #338-1: "| would like to remind all personnel that 
SCP-038 is not, | repeat, not a toy. It should not be used for cloning 
car keys, movies, music, or items from the vending machines. If this 
behavior continues | will be forced to limit access to SCP-038. 

- Dr. Klein" 


Document #338-2: It has been noted that SCP-038 is able to clone 
SCP-500 — however, such pills only work 30% of the time, with 
chance of successful healing dropping as time since cloned 
increases. In 60% of the cases where the infection is permanent, 
symptoms of infection remain, though further infection is neutralized. 


SCP-038 Partial Testing Log - select experiments only 
For full test records and reports, contact affiliated researchers for 
authorization 


Date: 11/08/ 

Intent: Confirmation of mass limit: investigation into consequences 
of exceeding limit. 

Summary of test results: 400 pound steel ingot made contact with 
the outer bark of SCP-038. Chamber vacated as a precaution. 
Cloned ingot grew at typical speed, but growth halted abruptly short 
of completion. Examination of the end of the aborted facsimile 
revealed a rough texture superficially resembling miniature-scale 


tree bark. Item detached from SCP-038 as typical, and was 
subsequently found to weigh 90.91 kilograms, or almost precisely 
200 pounds. 


Date: 11/08/ 

Intent: Investigation into duplication of non-biological animate 
matter. 

Summary of test results: SCP-173, deemed a suitable test subject 
because of its lack of verifiable life processes, introduced into 
containment chamber by Class-D personnel. Contact made with the 
outer bark of SCP-038, and SCP-173 returned immediately to 
containment. SCP-173 facsimile began development at typical 
speed, beginning at point of contact. As consistent with previous 
results, growth halted at the 200-pound threshold, in this case 
terminating development after replication of the head, right arm, and 
partial upper torso. Class-D test subject was ordered to break eye 
contact with clone. When test subject eventually blinked, no 
movement was observed in cloned material. Extinguishing and 
reestablishment of containment chamber light supply revealed no 
apparent reaction from cloned material. Experiment concluded. 
During storage of cloned portion of SCP-173, it was observed that 
the partial facsimile was in fact making violent gestures, at a 
dramatically slower rate. Movement was shown to continue 
regardless of state of observation. 


« SCP-037 | SCP-038 | SCP-039 » 


SCP-039: Proboscis Engineers 


Item #: SCP-039 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-039 are to 
be contained in Site-77's Wilderness Observation Chamber-2B. At 
least two (2) security personnel are to monitor the interior and 
exterior of SCP-039's chamber, and are to rotate every six (6) hours. 
Staff members may not access SCP-039's chamber without an 
accompanying escort from site security, and may only do so for 
research purposes, or for the examination of the chamber for 
containment sabotage or contraband, which is to occur weekly. 


As of 9-18-20 , SCP-039-8 has become pregnant; responsibility for 
its containment has been reassigned to personnel in the veterinary 
observation wing. 


Description: SCP-039 consists of twenty-three (23) instances of 
Nasalis larvatus, or proboscis monkey, who have been subject to 
radical anatomical changes. The eyes and mouths of SCP-039 are 
absent, leaving the face bare save for the nose and its 
accompanying nasal passages. Instances of SCP-039 possess 
acute auditory and tactile sense to compensate for a lack of eyes, 
relying mostly on physical contact with objects to perceive them, and 
on loud nasal snorts as a sort of echolocation to help them navigate 
in their environment. Necropsies have also revealed the digestive 
system to be absent; how instances of SCP-039 obtain nutrition — 
or, alternately, how they survive without it — is still a subject of 
research. 


Instances of SCP-039 display signs of sapience, examples of which 
include communication via nasal snorts, an understanding of spoken 
English, and a complex understanding of machinery. Adult instances 
have demonstrated the ability to operate mechanical tools, and 
possess the ability to repair and manufacture various pieces of 


technology, such as disassembling and reassembling an internal 
combustion engine, and efficiently wiring a small apartment room. 
Testing has shown that SCP-039 appear to work more efficiently 
individually, rather than in groups, as instances of SCP-039 will 
often become distracted by one another. 


Occasionally when working, instances of SCP-039 will clutch their 
abdomens and emit distressed vocalizations. If food is located 
nearby, they will attempt to smear their faces with the substance. It 
is currently hypothesized that this indicates that SCP-039 is the 
result of artificial manipulation of normal Nasalis larvatus specimens, 
with documents recovered during containment supporting this 
hypothesis. (see Addendum SCP-039-A) 


SCP-039 are capable of reproduction and gestation not unlike 
Nasalis larvatus; as of the time of this writing, five (5) instances of 
SCP-039 have been born. SCP-039 show a very close bond among 
their species, with newborns often being cared for by all capable 
adults. New instances are born with anatomical anomalies similar to 
other instances of SCP-039, but lack the knowledge of other 
instances. Parent instances will educate newborns on 
communication and basic skills until they reach the age of six (6) 
months, at which point technological ability will be taught by other 
adult instances. 


SCP-039 were recovered from an uninhabited research facility fifty 
(50) kilometers from the nearby town of , Nevada. Documents 
recovered during containment placed ownership of the facility under 
, a company funding research for the advancement of natural 
human ability. Twenty (20) instances of SCP-039 had been 
apparently living in and maintaining the facility for an unknown 
period of time. Additional recovered documents indicate that a 
project was being conducted to augment human intelligence. This 
project appears to have been cancelled shortly before the 
company's collapse, with the assets sold to an unnamed group. 
Further research into and the groups that acquired its assets 
has revealed several other anomalous objects, including SCP-1513. 


Addendum SCP-039-A One additional instance of SCP-039 was 
discovered during containment operations of SCP-1328. Agents are 
currently following up on any reports indicating the existence of 


further instances outside of containment. 


Addendum SCP-039-B Several documents recovered during initial 
containment appear to notate the early prototyping stage of 
SCP-039's development. Research has begun to develop a way to 
recreate the process that creates new SCP-039 instances; however, 
the damage the notes had accumulated prior to containment has 
rendered many of them unreadable.

SCP-040: Evolution's Child 


Item #: SCP-040 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-040 is to be contained in a 
standard humanoid containment module within Bio-Research 
Area-12. The chamber is to be connected to an airborne tranquilizer 
dispersal system, to be activated in the event of SCP-040 
manifesting its properties outside of testing environments. The 
chamber is to be observed by two supervisory personnel at all times. 
Recreational items such as toys, games, and art supplies may be 
provided to SCP-040 at the discretion of supervisory personnel. 


As they have been determined to pose no possible threat, 
SCP-040-1a, SCP-040-1c, and SCP-040-1j have been approved to 
remain in the containment chamber with SCP-040 for purposes of 
the subject’s mental well-being. (Security Chief Special Order 392-5: 

/ / ). All other entities modified by SCP-040 are to be disposed of 
after recovery and study according to standard biological specimen 
clearance protocols, as outlined in Document CDP-BIO-EN-1. No 
outside organisms are to be brought into SCP-040’s presence 
beyond those used in testing procedures. 


SCP-040 is to undergo daily school lessons and bi-weekly 
psychological review, overseen by Drs. Habernathy, Logan, and 
Izawa. 


Description: SCP-040 is a Caucasian female of approximately eight 
years of age, standing one meter in height. SCP-040 bears 
numerous physical abnormalities: The subject’s skin is highly 
sensitive to light and easily damaged by physical contact, and the 
subject’s hair is a bright pink in coloration. This hair is brittle and falls 
out easily. The subject displays green/yellow heterochromia, with 
the sclera of the left eye black in coloration. SCP-040 has no sight in 
this eye. 


SCP-040’s emotional state is within acceptable boundaries for an 
individual of its age group, accounting for the effects of prolonged 
containment and physical abnormalities. Subject’s intelligence is 
slightly above-average for its age group, and displayed behavior is 
generally cooperative. Of note is SCP-040's quick acclimatization to 
containment, believed to be resultant of its upbringing before 
recovery. 


SCP-040 is capable of manipulating living matter, mutating and 
modifying existing organisms in order to create new ones, 
collectively referred to as SCP-040-1. This effect is at will, but 
requires significant focus and time to enact and becomes 
increasingly unreliable and inaccurate when manipulating details 
through small-scale modifications. SCP-040 is incapable of altering 
microscopic organisms, and has great difficulty in altering plant life. 
Dead organic matter may also be used, but must be used in 
conjunction with a living organism. 


Instances of SCP-040-1 will not demonstrate pre-modification 
behavior: the majority will act similar to domesticated house pets, 
generally with extreme loyalty to SCP-040, regardless of prior 
association. The appearance of SCP-040-1 instances will vary: 
some instances will retain overall pre-modification form with some 
alteration, such as SCP-040’s apparent modification to itself, though 
the majority will bear no resemblance to their original appearances. 
SCP-040 appears incapable of manipulating instances of 
SCP-040-1 more than once. 


Recovery Log: Subject was recovered on / /20 in [REDACTED]. 
SCP-040 was one of fifteen subjects taken into custody: further 
investigation found no anomalous properties in any other individuals. 
Amnestics were administered to detainees and the general 
populace, and coverup measures were enacted without further 
incident. Monitoring of the area is ongoing in order to detect any 
resurgence of 


Addendum-01: SCP-040 is currently allowed custody of the 
following SCP-040-1 instances. 


* SCP-040-1a — A polymorphic symbiotic organism capable of 
changing size, shape, color, and texture in reaction to its 


environment. Subject serves as outer clothing, similar to a jacket or 
sweater, and absorbs nutrients from SCP-040’s bloodstream. 
Subject was recovered alongside SCP-040, and genetic testing 
reveals that the subject shares the majority of its genetic makeup 
with the common housecat (Felis catus). 

* SCP-040-1c — A spherical organism capable of flight by means of 
rubbery bladders filled with helium. Entity has eleven limbs 
terminating in opposable digits, and a complex respiratory system 
capable of replicating a wide variety of musical patterns. 

* SCP-040-1j — A quadrupedal organism covered in a thick coat of 
pink and blue fur. Entity has no eyes, a broad mouth with blunt 
teeth, and is capable of climbing up vertical surfaces. Occasionally 
used by SCP-040 as a mode of transportation 


Addendum-02 


The following excerpt is from an interview carried out on / /20 , 
three weeks after initial containment. 


Dr. Habernathy: Good morning, Forty. 
SCP-040: Good morning, Miss Habernathy. 


Dr. Habernathy: It’s good to see that you’re getting over 
your cold. 


SCP-040: Mm-hmm. 


Dr. Habernathy: Can | ask you a few questions before 
we start with today’s lesson? 


SCP-040: Yeah. 

Dr. Habernathy: Can you tell me about your parents? 
SCP-040: Mr. Green said that | don't have any. 

Dr. Habernathy: Can you tell me about Mr. Green, then? 


SCP-040: He was nice, but he wasn’t very good at 
talking. He would would would a-always talk I-l-like like 
this. But he wasn’t there a lot of the time. Most of the 


time it was the nurses looking after us. 
Dr. Habernathy: And what did they do for you? 


SCP-040: They’d play games with us and teach us 
things and sometimes they would make us wear these 
dumb helmets and sit quiet for a long time. Sometimes 
they’d put a movie on for us, if we behaved, but if we 
were bad they they would lock us in our rooms. 


Dr. Habernathy: Can you tell me anything else? 


SCP-040: Hmmm...They always served us peas for 
dinner, and | hate peas, so | always gave mine to Five, 
because she liked peas. But | think green beans are 
better. 


Addendum-03: / /20 - SCP-040 successfully reanimated a 
deceased human body during testing, using three specimens of 
brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) as the required living component. 
Resultant subject retained no memories of previous life, and was 
judged to be of the approximate mental capacity of a human toddler. 
SCP-040 was highly distressed by the event and refused further 
testing for the next three weeks.

SCP-041: Thought-Broadcasting Patient 


Item #: SCP-041 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-041 is to be hospitalized 
at Bio-Research Area 12. Though not Keter class, should SCP-041's 
abilities ever propagate beyond a reasonably containable area, the 
risk of SCP sensitive information being broadcast to the public 
remains too great a risk and warrants Area-Level isolation away 
from the general populace. SCP personnel wanting to keep their 
thoughts private are advised to remain outside of a fifteen (15) meter 
radius from SCP-041, beyond the designated red circle on the floor. 


It is beneficial to the mental health of SCP-041 to have a "sitter" in 
the room who watches television and concentrates on its 
programming. This allows SCP-041 to effectively "watch" television 
through the mind of someone else. The optimal sitter is a class-D 
personnel with below-average intelligence whose mind does not 
wander or have more than one train of thought at a time. Though not 
mind control, SCP-041 has used its abilities to coerce sitters into 
watching programming that they don't themselves enjoy. SCP-041's 
tastes vary between gore/slasher films (having even expressed 
interest in "snuff") and children's programming. 


Description: SCP-041 is a male human suffering from irreversible 
damage to his central nervous system, which is believed to have 
been caused by an infection of a rare strain of bacterial meningitis. 
Although antibiotics were successful in clearing the infection, the 
membranes surrounding his brain and spinal cord had reacted to the 
infection by severing many neurons connecting the central nervous 
system to the rest of the body. SCP-041 must rely on a respirator to 
sustain his breathing, a biventricular pacemaker to keep his heart 
beating, and a naso-gastric tube to provide nutrition. 


Visually, SCP-041 appears to be in a persistent vegetative state. 


However, observers in the presence of SCP-041 begin to realize 
that their thoughts, along with everyone else's in about a 10-meter 
radius from SCP-041, are broadcast in a semi-audible fashion. 
Aside from being the source, SCP-041 is also capable of 
broadcasting his own thoughts to those present. Anyone forming an 
idea using words will have those thoughts unwillingly transmitted to 
others in this range as "mind-audible speech," which cannot be 
recorded by any known equipment. (Correction: see Addendum-01). 
Mind-audible speech may be "heard" using whatever voice a subject 
chooses to think with; most typically this is the subject's normal 
voice (see Document-01). 


Visual thoughts and images are broadcast as well, but are not 
received as readily. Images are most effectively transmitted when 
both the sender and receiver have their eyes closed, the sender 
concentrates on a single object without environment or background, 
and the receiver’s mind is clear of conscious thoughts. 
Communication between subjects using visual images, particularly 
those not rooted in memory but in imagination, is usually difficult. 
The sender typically has trouble conceiving a highly-detailed mental 
object from a single point of view, while the receiver will often try to 
fill in gaps of missing information, ultimately resulting in the receiver 
seeing a different image from what was sent. The most difficult 
imagery to be successfully broadcast appears to be a person's face, 
particularly if the image is one of a person in motion. 


Although able to transmit his thoughts to others, SCP-041 is not very 
"talkative." Attempts to persuade SCP-041 to divulge any 
information about his abilities have been so far fruitless. SCP-041 is 
typically silent and normally will not respond to any direct attempts at 
communication. However, SCP-041 appears to have a sense of 
humor, as he interjects occasional comments into conversations of 
others. 


Addendum-01: While researcher was taking voice notes 
using a digital audio recorder, a fellow researcher was changing the 
television in SCP-041's room. While the television was on a channel 
of static, disembodied voices could be heard filtered through the 
white noise. Attempts to record mind-audible speech with white- 
noise generators and sound-recording equipment have begun to 


yield modest results, though most audio is garbled, and recorded 
sounds may or may not be voices and are widely left toward 
individual interpretations. 


Addendum-02: "/t has come to my attention that several personnel 
have used SCP-041 as an ad-hoc 'she likes me/she likes me not' 
detector. This is one of the most appalling things I've ever heard. 
Are we safeguarding potentially world-destroying objects or are we 
in third grade?" — Dr. Klein. 


Document-01: Researcher's Quote: "Ya know, the first time | was 
in that room with Kent and forty-one, | kept hearing this singing. It 
was this little girl's voice singing some kid's song. It wasn't the TV 
and it definitely wasn't a radio... It was in our heads... ya know. So | 
think, 'Ya know, if | was stuck in bed, without anything else to do, I'd 
sing like a little girl too.' And then this voice comes into my head, 
'Hey, it's not me... | don't know that tune", and then ol' Kent looks at 
me, gone all white in the face... ya know." 


Note: This event occurred after SCP-239 was placed in a 
chemically-induced coma. Any connection between the two SCPs is 
currently unconfirmed. 


« SCP-040 | SCP-041 | SCP-042 » 


SCP-042: A Formerly Winged Horse 


Item #: SCP-042 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-042 is currently housed 
within Minimum Security Paddock 12 at Bio-Research Area-32. 
Despite SCP-042's seeming disinclination to attempt escape at this 
point, security measures must still be maintained at all times. 
Previous attempts to maintain the health of the groundcover in 
Paddock 12 have failed to date. Despite regular watering, 
SCP-042's presence leaves the ground parched wherever it treads. 
As it has not been determined what happens to added water, the 
program of watering has been discontinued as unnecessary and 
potentially hazardous to the local water table. Monitoring of local 
well levels and sampling of the area's water is to be carried out ona 
weekly basis. 


Personnel interacting with SCP-042, including any handlers, medical 
personnel, feeders, and custodial staff, must submit to a thorough 
search, including [DATA REDACTED], prior to entrance into 
Paddock 12. Any personnel attempting to smuggle a weapon, or an 
object which can be used as a weapon, is to be immediately [DATA 
REDACTED]. Personnel are to undergo psychological screening 
once per week after interacting in any way with SCP-042. Medical 
personnel examining the wounds on SCP-042's back are to be 
closely monitored at all times, lest they attempt to euthanize 
SCP-042. 


Description: SCP-042 is an animal believed to be a member of the 
genus Equus. Its coat is white in color with some small brown 
spotting. It stands at 183 cm (18 hands) to its withers and weighs 
710 kg. Its weight has dropped significantly since it has been in 
Foundation custody, due to both atrophy from lack of physical 
activity and refusal to eat. The liquid nutrient diet forcibly 
administered keeps it alive but it remains emaciated and weak. 


SCP-042 exhibits two large bone protrusions from its back, linked to 
powerful musculature (now atrophied) throughout its back. These 
bones end at 37 centimeters from the surface of its back, and they 
protrude from the skin at open, ragged wounds. To date, no healing 
has been observed of these wounds, though some clotting must be 
taking place for SCP-042 to have not bled out. 


SCP-042 exhibits a listless demeanor and has been unresponsive to 
any attempt by skilled handlers to incite activity. If allowed to do so, 
SCP-042 will lay down on the ground immobile, not moving to eat, 
drink, or relieve itself. Pain-response conditioning has proved 
somewhat effective in getting SCP-042 to rise so that it can be 
cleaned, but eventually it will attempt to lay down again no matter 
the strength of the shock administered, even to the point of losing 
consciousness. 


Researchers are divided as to SCP-042's level of intelligence. While 
some believe that it is simply an animal and no smarter than others 
of its genus, others have come to believe that it may in fact be 
sapient. It has been shown to make eye contact with persons 
entering Paddock 12, most of whom describe its looks as "pleading". 
SCP-042 has been involved in accidents on multiple occasions 
where it has been injured on pieces of equipment or its enclosure, 
which those arguing for intelligence believe to have been 
intentionally caused by SCP-042. 


Addendum: A request was submitted by Dr. P to transfer 
SCP-042 to Bio-Research Area-4 on / /19 , which was approved 
by O5-5. Dr. P altered transportation documents to indicate that 
SCP-042 was to be airlifted rather than transported by armed 
convoy. During transit, Dr. P overpowered the pilot of the 
transport aircraft and took the controls, plunging the craft into a 
steep dive. Passengers and cargo experienced nearly a minute of 
weightlessness before security personnel regained control of the 
aircraft and leveled off. As Dr. P was being bound and the plane 
landed, SCP-042 broke free of containment and kicked two security 
personnel to death in the cargo area. Cargo bay security footage 
shows that after this point, SCP-042 approached Dr. P and 
touched its muzzle to his face. Dr. P exhibited signs of euphoria 
while contact was maintained, but when additional security 


personnel subdued SCP-042 with tranquilizer darts and contact was 
broken, he collapsed into a catatonic state from which he did not 
recover. After a hearing concerning his actions, Dr. P was 
euthanized while under Foundation medical care on / /19 .

SCP-043: The Beatle 


Item #: SCP-043 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-043 requires no special 
containment, although it is recommended that SCP-043 not be used 
for purposes other than testing. A turntable is to be maintained in the 
same room for testing. 


Description: SCP-043 appears to be a vinyl copy of "The White 
Album" by the Beatles; however, upon closer inspection, the record 
has no grooves. In spite of this, the record will play from start to 
finish regardless of the starting position of the needle. 


When the twenty-ninth track is reached, instead of playing 
"Revolution 9", the disc stops spinning and faint breathing can be 
heard. Occasionally the entity responsible for the breathing will 
speak in a male voice. The entity will respond to questions and 
shows a profound encyclopedic knowledge of the music industry, 
musical theory, and obscure trivia about many bands and artists. 
However, the entity refuses to answer questions regarding The 
Beatles or its own personal details. 


Inside the jacket, a small handwritten note was found, reading: 
Limited Edition: 1/1

SCP-044: World War II Era Molecular-Fission Cannon 


Item #: SCP-044 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: A constant stream of hydrogen 
ions, unbound oxygen atoms, and other trace free radicals emanate 
from the muzzle of SCP-044 at all times. Because of this, the 
docking stations of SCP-044 are to be well-ventilated to keep 
dangerous gases and moisture from accumulating. Muzzle 
coverings are to be fitted at all times to keep birds and small animals 
from investigating the large open barrel of SCP-044. 


Addendum, / /200 : As SCP-044 has not been involved in any 
significant incidents inthe years it has been held by the 
Foundation, SCP-044 has been reclassified as Safe. 


Must I really define “significant incidents”? If containment 
procedures and standard safety protocols are followed, 44 appears 
to be no more dangerous than any other big gun. No, the Bear 
Incident does not count. —O5- 


Description: SCP-044 is a howitzer, secretly manufactured in the 
late stages of the Second World War by Krupp engineers, personally 
supervised by Albert Speer, German Minister of Armaments and 
War Production under Adolf Hitler. SCP-044 is unique not only 
because of its size (251,000 kg, or 251 metric tonnes), but also 
because it fires unconventional artillery using an atypical delivery 
method. Rather than having a breech for loading shells, the rear of 
the barrel is configured into a massive air-compression chamber. 
Any object or pile of objects that fits may be loaded into SCP-044’s 
muzzle to be used as ammunition. Because of its size, SCP-044 
must remain rail-mounted and requires two freight locomotives to 
move. 


Researchers believe that SCP-044 weakens molecular and atomic 


bonds in any material loaded into its muzzle. However, the method 
by which SCP-044 affects molecular bonds is not known, due 
primarily to the numerous complex mechanisms that compose the 
housing and workings of SCP-044. In fact, some mechanisms 
appear useless and seem to do nothing other than spin or make 
noise, even when SCP-044 is not supplied with power. Both 
equipment and personnel have been lost while exploring the inside 
of SCP-044’s barrel. 


When SCP-044 is fired, all matter within its barrel is ejected ata 
high rate of speed as a glowing red slug, proportional in size to the 
amount of mass loaded into the muzzle. Upon striking a solid object 
or the ground, the slug explodes with a yield proportional to the 
mass of the original ammunition, atno less thana % mass-to- 
energy conversion rate. The yield will also increase somewhat the 
longer the slug remains in the barrel. The greatest known yield was 
achieved when 'The Administrator's' 8,900 kg (19,500 Ib) personal 
diesel pickup truck was loaded in its entirety into the muzzle of 
SCP-044 and fired in the pictured "experiment."

SCP-045: Atmospheric Converter 


Item #: SCP-045 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-045 is to be kept affixed to 
an examination platform in a hemispherical chamber measuring 5 
meters in radius at Oceanographic Research Station 12, located at - 

. ,- . onthe seafloor of the Pacific Ocean. The chamber is to be 
kept filled with gaseous neon at equilibrium pressure with the 
surrounding environment. The chamber is separated from habitable 
portions of the station by 5 meters of local seawater, and all 
interactions with SCP-045 are to be performed via telepresence or 
robotic means. The bindings that attach SCP-045 to its platform are 
fitted with quick-release latches, which are to be released when 
necessary to prevent a containment breach. 


Given the seismic activity associated with SCP-045, if the 
containment chamber is damaged or breached by seismological 
activity, SCP-045 should be recovered by remotely controlled drone 
vehicles and kept at least 10 meters from human-inhabited spaces 
until such time as repairs can be completed to the optimal 
containment chamber. 


Description: SCP-045 is an icosahedron composed of ice XII! 
heavily occluded with planar fractures in a regular, complex pattern. 
SCP-045 has an average radius of 1.7 meters and density of 2.6 g/ 
cm, which is approximately twice that of non-anomalous ice XII. 


SCP-045 remains in a stable state at temperatures ranging from 
0.074-500 kelvin (approx -273 °C to 227 °C) and pressures ranging 
from 0.4 pascals to 3 gigapascals (approx 3.95 microatmospheres to 
29600 atmospheres). Although it is possible to melt or vaporize 
SCP-045 at temperatures and pressures outside of these ranges, 
the H20O involved is attracted to itself by unknown means and will 
remain within very close proximity unless forcibly separated. The 


water will refreeze as soon as conditions return to a position inside 
SCP-045's stable range and any subportions kept separate prior to 
refreezing will freeze into smaller icosahedrons identical in form and 
properties to the total amount of SCP-045. 


Based on available evidence, it is currently believed that SCP-045 is 
a 3-dimensional projection of a hypericosahedron.? Research is 
ongoing to determine how SCP-045 is able to maintain a stable 
lower-dimensional projection and whether this can be adapted for 
use when interacting with other dimensionally anomalous SCP 
ltems. 


At unpredictable intervals ranging from 2 weeks to 3 months, 
SCP-045 will spontaneously rotate around multiple axes 
simultaneously for a period no longer than 73 seconds. During this 
period, a series of small seismic events (<2.5 on the Richter scale) 
will occur in the immediate area of SCP-045. If SCP-045 is 
prevented from rotating, the seismic events increase in strength 
logarithmically to a maximum of 5.3 on the Richter scale. Following 
the end of the rotation period, the radius of SCP-045's effect will 
temporarily double for the same amount of time that it rotated. 


When gaseous nitrogen or argon? come within 3.7 meters of any 
portion of SCP-045, they are replaced by different compounds. No is 
replaced by liquid water at a conversion rate of 1.00 mol No : 

1.98 mol H20 and Ar is replaced by crystalline NaCl ("table salt") at 
a conversion rate of 1.00 mol Ar : 4.26 mol NaCl. 


SCP-045 was discovered in 1972 when a Foundation submarine 
scouting the Pacific abyssal plain for suitable locations for undersea 
bases was diverted to investigate the epicenter of a series of 
unexpectedly localized, strong tremors. SCP-045 was found lodged 
in a crevice, which had apparently prevented it from rotating. When 
removed from the crevice, it was brought towards the vessel for 
further study and, upon coming within range of the interior 
atmosphere, exhibited its anomalous effects. This resulted in a 
catastrophic breach of internal containment protocols and the loss of 
12 crew members prior to SCP-045 being released and the 
submarine moving out of range. 


Addendum: Following several years of testing, it was accidentally 


discovered that SCP-045 also converts hydrogen gas into a random 
mixture of simple amino acids at a rate of 1 mol Ha : 0.04 mol amino 
acids. However, this conversion only occurs when the gas is 
diffused in saline water, such as that produced by SCP-045. 
Analysis of the seafloor surrounding the location where SCP-045 
was discovered has revealed a large community of microfauna and 
microflora that is approximately 3 times as diverse as would be 
expected given the geography and location. All have biochemistry 
wherein the amino acids produced by SCP-045 are statistically 
overabundant, as compared to microbiota from similar geologic 
regions. Additionally, all thrive when immersed in pure saltwater 
devoid of other organic materials.

SCP-046: "Predatory" Holly Bush 


Item #: SCP-046 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The land surrounding SCP-046 
has been purchased and surrounded by multiple layers of security, 
including fencing, barricades, and lethal-effect traps; multiple signs 
marking the area as private property are to be prominently 
displayed. The area is to be heavily guarded at all times to prevent 
access by civilians to SCP-046. All personnel working around or 
within a 50km radius of SCP-046 are to undergo rigorous medical 
testing to ensure the absence of any potentially life-threatening 
illnesses; additionally, increased mental health examinations are to 
be administered to ensure that no personnel inclined or potentially 
inclined towards self-harm or self-destructive tendencies are allowed 
within the 50km radius. Any injured personnel are to be evacuated 
to a hospital outside of the 50km zone around SCP-046. All 
vegetation surrounding SCP-046 is to be destroyed and all animals 
attempting to access SCP-046 are to be terminated and destroyed 
before reaching its outer perimeter. 


Any personnel showing unusual interest either in SCP-046 or in 
traveling to the region near SCP-046 are to undergo medical 
examinations as detailed above. Any modification to these 
containment procedures are to be approved by O5 command before 
being added to this containment document. Any personnel 
attempting to modify this document without appropriate authorization 
are to be demoted and reassigned. 


Description: SCP-046 is a predatory botanical mass located in 
southwestern Kentucky. SCP-046 is composed of two parts. 
SCP-046-1 is a large mass of vegetative matter, composed largely 
of plants indigenous to the region, including Quercus alba, Illex 
aquifolium, and Lonicera sempervirens, though several offshoots 
composed of other plant species are also present. SCP-046-2 is the 


land in the immediate vicinity of SCP-046-1, extending to a roughly 
circular area twenty meters in radius from its base. This area is 
SCP-046's primary feeding area. SCP-046 is capable of attracting 
prey within a 50km radius through hallucinogenic means; all 
evacuations of personnel should carry them outside of this radius to 
disable SCP-046's effect. 


Animals (including humans) suffering from potentially life-threatening 
physical injuries or diseases, or who are afflicted by psychological 
disorders that induce self-destructive tendencies, feel a powerful 
compulsion to come to SCP-046-2 and lie in a prostrate position 
facing SCP-046-1. Individuals lying in such a position are rapidly 
attacked by an unusually powerful combination of saprophytic 
organisms and opportunistic infections, including several strains of 
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) known to 
induce necrotizing fasciitis, also known as "flesh-eating bacteria"; a 
form of fungal spore similar to Stachybotrys chartarum, or "black 
mold," which poisons prey organisms and induces paralysis; and 
finally, complete consumption by several heretofore unknown 
species of insect that emerge from the inside of SCP-046-1 during 
the final stage of feeding. SCP-046 appears to derive nutrition 
through the complete digestion of affected individuals, particularly 
larger mammals such as humans. It is unknown whether SCP-046 is 
capable of growth; as such, all steps are to be taken to ensure that 
SCP-046 is deprived of prey until more information is known about 
its abilities. These efforts are to include terminating individuals prior 
to their arrival at SCP-046 and disposing of their bodies in a 
separate location. 


Addendum 046-A Investigation is ongoing into potential memetic 
effects brought about by knowledge of SCP-046 due to anomalous 
effects demonstrated by certain personnel in response to SCP-046. 
Access to Document 046-07 is restricted to Level 4 personnel and 
above. 


Document 046-07 
Item #: SCP-046 


Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The land 
surrounding SCP-046 is to be cordoned off, marked as 
private property, and surrounded by multiple layers of 
fencing. The area is to be guarded by no less than ten 
guards, though minimal armaments are required. While 
knowledge of SCP-046's effects is not to be made widely 
known, personnel afflicted with life-threatening diseases 
may be permitted to enter SCP-046-2 after psychological 
screening for self-destructive tendencies. Likewise, D- 
class personnel selected for termination may be 
effectively exposed to SCP-046-2 to facilitate this 
process. Due to the lack of threat to Foundation security, 
individuals not employed by the Foundation may be 
permitted access to SCP-046, though Foundation needs 
for access take first priority. 


Description: SCP-046 is composed of two parts. 
SCP-046-1 is a cylindrical area 5m in diameter and 30m 
tall containing several species of plant matter, including 
Quericus alba (white oak), /lex aquifolium (European 
holly bush), and Lonicera sempervirens (Kentucky 
honeysuckle), though several offshoots composed of 
other plant species are also present. No anomalous traits 
have been detected in the molecular composition of the 
plants. SCP-046-2 is a clearing of grass extending 
approximately twenty meters around SCP-046-1. 


SCP-046's anomalous effects extend principally to 
animals, including humans, that are threatened by 
chronic or debilitating illnesses or injuries. SCP-046 is 
frequently visited by such individuals; humans of this 
type report having felt a compulsion to travel to 
SCP-046's location, often reporting that the location 
"came to them in a dream." Psychological evaluations 
have consistently shown that such individuals were not 
previously aware of either the Foundation or SCP-046's 
specific properties. Individuals feeling this compulsion 
have all reported having been within a 50km radius of 
SCP-046 at the time; this is believed to be the outer 
range of the object's compulsive range. 


Individuals who come to SCP-046 consistently describe 
a dream in which they lie down in the vicinity of 
SCP-046-1 and rest. Immediately upon entering 
SCP-046-2, individuals suffering from chronic pain or 
traumatic mental conditions will describe their symptoms 
as receding, accompanied by a feeling of calmness, 
relaxation, and euphoria. Individuals lying down in front 
of SCP-046-1 will begin to be covered by several vines 
similar to runners of Cynodon dactylon plants, also 
known as Bermuda grass, followed by the apparent 
sprouting of C. dactylon all over the body. SCP-046 has 
no compulsive properties and its effects will only 
manifest on individuals willing to experience the effects 
voluntarily. 


Individuals exposed to SCP-046 will remain 
communicative until they are no longer visible beneath 
the grass growing across their bodies. All individuals 
exposed to SCP-046's effects describe a feeling of 
peace and serenity, and a happiness that they were able 
to die pleasantly. SCP-046 appears to fully decompose 
individuals exposed to its effects within two hours and 
may or may not use decomposed tissue as a food 
source. 


Addendum 046-1: SCP-046 to be reclassified as Euclid 
and primary containment document to be rewritten to 
demonstrate SCP-046's predatory nature by order of O5 
command. Any references to "voluntary individuals" are 
to be removed. Description to be rewritten to emphasize 
volatile and lethal nature of SCP-046 and potential threat 
thereof. 


Addendum 046-2: There is no evidence whatsoever that 
SCP-046 is "predatory" or has any desire to harm any 
creature unwilling to expose itself to SCP-046's effects. 
Suggest original containment procedures be reenacted 
and voluntary access to SCP-046 continued. No 
individuals are capable of breaching Foundation security 
once exposed to SCP-046; as such, there is no reason 


to deny afflicted individuals the opportunity for relief. 
Likewise, there is no reason to make this entity seem 
more hostile than it actually is, aside from a desire to 
portray every object in Foundation custody as 
dangerous. Some things must be contained simply 
because they are strange. —Dr. Edward Carter, head 
researcher, SCP-046 


Addendum 046-3: Dr. Carter, principal researcher for 
SCP-046, is to be removed from his position and 
reassigned to the SCP-1250 project. Addendum 046-1 
stands by order of O5 command.

SCP-047: Microbial Mutagen 


Item #: SCP-047 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-047 is to be contained ina 
0.5m x 0.5m x 1 m hermetically sealed storage box at all times. 
This box is to be locked in storage locker 047a, inside P3-secure 
biohazard lab 047b. Any entrance to and activity inside 047b will be 
recorded by biometric scan, closed circuit camera, and 
[REDACTED]. 


Entry to 047b requires the authorization of the project manager, in 
addition to at least one O5 level clearance. SCP-047 is to be treated 
as a Priority 4 Contagious Biohazard in all protocols, including 
mandatory quarantine if exposed. Suite q047 has been provided, 
adjunct to lab 047b, for this purpose. 


In the event of outside contamination of SCP-047-1, Lockdown 
Protocol 047-01 "Yersinia" must be engaged. 


Description: SCP-047 is a heavily rusted, breached gas cylinder 
made of an iron-[REDACTED] alloy. When exposed to open air, the 
material of the cylinder evaporates slowly, producing a previously 
undocumented mutagenic gas. This gas has no effect on eukaryotic 
organisms (e.g. humans), but profoundly alters prokaryotes, 
showing preference for common human microbiota - the natural 
microorganisms that live on the skin and throughout the body. On 
rare occasions these mutations produce a "superbug" (collectively 
known as SCP-047-1), a natural commensal with enhanced 
survivability and therefore opportunistic pathogenicity. The pattern of 
changes induced by SCP-047 suggests that these highly infectious 
microbes are, at least to some degree, selected for. 


Although the specifics of SCP-047-1 species are dependent on the 
base bacterium from which it is derived, there are several 


characteristics which appear to be generally consistent across all 
cases of SCP-047-1 mutation: 


¢ Enhanced survivability in the bacterium's natural environment 

and similar environments; 

Full spectrum antibiotic resistance; 

Increased reproduction rate and consumption of available 

material; 

¢ Development of a sporulation ability in gram-positive bacteria; 

¢ Increased ability to uptake, hold, and share plasmids, 
particularly in gram-negative bacteria; 

¢ Increased transmission, due to traits described above. 


SCP-047-1 samples are normally debilitating and virulent. However, 
compared to other Keter-class SCPs, it should be noted that 
SCP-047-1 have a relatively low mortality rate due to their action 
through "mundane" biological pathways. 


Several strains of bacteria have been selectively mutated by 
SCP-047. Mutation of bacteria in culture is possible, but the process 
appears to be much more effective with bacteria living on a human 
host. Generally, mutation of natural commensals for experimental 
purposes is encouraged. After the containment breach of 
30/01/2010 (See Incident Report Yersinia-047-01 (2010)), mutation 
of already-pathogenic species is banned and all existing samples 
must be destroyed. 


Three particular species of SCP-047-1 mutated bacteria are of note, 
due to their involvement in the containment breach of / /201: 


Propionibacterium 047-A is a strain of Propionibacterium acnes 
mutated by SCP-047. 


> Show details 


¢ Pathogenicity: Severe skin colonisation around 
sebaceous glands. Modification of skin pH to 
levels that become toxic to skin cells. Massive 
inflammation and immune cell infiltration. Eventual 
breakdown of skin structure leading to sepsis. 

¢ Transmission: Transmitted by skin-to-skin 


contact. Can remain active on inorganic surfaces 
for up to five hours. 

Lethality: Approximately 40% mortality rate. Runs 
its course in 2-6 weeks. Very visible symptoms 
within 5-10 hours; contagious within 2-5 hours. 
Handling: As soon as visible symptoms form, 
victims must be quarantined. Deceased victims 
should be incinerated. 


Streptococcus 047-C is a strain of Streptococcus mitis mutated by 
SCP-047. 


> Show details 


¢ Pathogenicity: Causes inflammation of the mouth 
and esophagus initially. Leads to open sores in the 
mouth, which result in S-047-C entering the 
bloodstream and becoming septic. Death is usually 
due to infectious endocarditis. 

¢ Transmission: Droplet. Can remain active 

indefinitely by sporulation. 

Lethality: Approximately 35% mortality rate. May 

become a recurring chronic condition if nonlethal. 

Handling: Subjects with any sign of mouth 

infection should be quarantined. Deceased victims 

should be incinerated. 


Clostridium 047-A is a strain of Clostridium difficile mutated by 
SCP-047. 


> Show details 


¢ Pathogenicity: Unknown. C-047-A was developed 
from tissue culture and has never been exposed to 
a human. No samples remain in Foundation 
control. 

¢ Transmission: Unknown. Presumably transmitted 
through fecal contamination, as with C. difficile. 
Due to smaller, more robust spores, may also 
aerosolise with flatus. Effects of aerosol intake of 
C-047-A cannot be predicted. 


¢ Lethality: Unknown. Presumed extremely high 
risk of destruction of endothelial lining of 
gastrointestinal tract, leading to inflammation, 
sepsis, toxic megacolon. 

Handling: Until further research has been done, 
victims should be quarantined and placed under 
24-hour medical observation to develop functional 
diagnostics for this strain. Deceased victims 
should not be incinerated until adequate etiological 
research has been performed. 


Recovery Log 047: SCP-047 was recovered from the Site- Secure 
Laboratory by a Foundation Biohazard Recovery Team in response 
to a full compromise situation on / /199 . Testing logs indicate that 
the research team was attempting to contain [DATA EXPUNGED] in 
aclass- SCP-stable pressure cylinder, which led to [REDACTED] 
combining with [REDACTED]. A full molecular biological analysis of 
this is available in [REDACTED]. The initial release of gas when 
SCP-047 was structurally compromised was sufficient to cause a 
microbiotal "bloom" of uncounted species of SCP-047-1, killing all 
staff in the lab within hours. Exposed Site- staff obeyed standard 
Foundation quarantine/containment protocol, and the infection was 
contained successfully.

Incident Report Yersinia 047-01 (2010) 


SCP Involved: SCP-047 


Description: On 30/01/2010 at approximately 0300 hours, storage 
locker 047c (Site- lab 047b), containing bacterial samples mutated 
by SCP-047, was compromised after a complete simultaneous 
[DATA EXPUNGED], leading to failure of security measures in the 
area. Three (3) samples, of a total twelve (12), were stolen. [DATA 
EXPUNGED] since the initial containment break, outbreaks of one of 
the stolen bacterial strains, Propionibacterium 047-A, were recorded 
globally in communities of increasing size and population density. 
Further information on stolen material, soread, and containment 
follows. 


Compromised Items: Propionibacterium 047-A, Streptococcus 
047-C, and Clostridium 047-A. See SCP-047 for further information. 


Outbreak information: 


First Outbreak: P-047-A, 27/02/2010, Siberia. 
Contained: see Incident Report P047A-03-2010. 


Second Outbreak: P-047-A, 30/03/2010, Northwest 
Territories (Canada). Contained: see Incident Report 
P047A-04-2010 


Third Outbreak: P-047-A, 29/04/2010, South Australia. 
Contained: see Incident Report P047A-05-2010 


Fourth Outbreak: P-047-A, 27/05/2010, Mato Grosso 
(Brazil). Believed contained: see Incident Report 
P047A-06-2010. Warning: Agents in the area are 
advised to familiarise themselves with the symptoms of 
P-047-A and be on the lookout for possible infection. 


Fifth Outbreak: P-047-A, 26/06/2010, [REDACTED], 


lraq. Site immediately [DATA EXPUNGED] which is 
believed to have contained the infection. Access to 
Incident Report denied without O5 clearance. 


Sixth Outbreak: P-047-A, 26/07/2010, Cameroon. 
Quarantine enacted. Efforts to track outgoing civilians 
underway. Infection not contained. See Incident Report 
P047A-07-2010 


Seventh Outbreak: P-047-A, 24/08/2010, Dalarna 
(Sweden). Quarantine enacted. Believed contained. See 
Incident Report P047A-08-2010. Warning: Agents in the 
area are advised to familiarise themselves with the 
symptoms of P-047-A and be on the lookout for possible 
infection. 


Eighth Outbreak: Not recorded. Believed to have taken 
place in North Korea. [DATA EXPUNGED] Agents with 
government access are attempting to gain access to 
parallel information, but due to [DATA EXPUNGED] local 
services have been extremely uncooperative. 
Containment status unknown. 


Ninth Outbreak: P-047-A, 23/10/2010, South Carolina 
(United States of America). Quarantine enacted. Efforts 
to track outgoing civilians primarily successful. One 
civilian in a pickup truck is believed to have [DATA 
EXPUNGED] Infection not contained. 


Resolution: Reports from [DATA EXPUNGED}] indicate no further 
outbreaks are believed likely, but Agents are advised to be on the 
lookout for new flareups resulting from uncontained civilians in 
previous outbreak regions; these may continue for years to come 
due to P-047-A sporulation. Investigation into the cause of the initial 
compromise is underway. Anyone with useful information may 
anonymously contact Security via the attached form. 


SCP-048: The Cursed SCP Number 


Item #: SCP-048 
Object Class: None (see description) 


Special Containment Procedures: The designation SCP-048 is to 
be retired from the SCP catalog. No future SCPs are to be assigned 
this number. 


Description: SCP-048 has long been considered the "cursed SCP 
number" by SCP staff: any items given this designation tend to be 
destroyed, decommissioned, stolen, or otherwise lost to the 
Foundation, usually through no fault of any individual person. In 
addition, personnel assigned to SCP-048 in its various incarnations 
have had a 50% higher rate of turnover due to death, 
dismemberment, and disciplinary action. 


Whether or not the number 048 actually has any supernatural 
qualities is unknown, but given the superstition around this number, 
the designation has been removed from the catalog in order to help 
maintain employee morale. 


Addendum 1: This is ridiculous. I'll prove to you superstitious 
bastards that you're all just being pussies. The restriction on 
SCP-048 is now removed and assigned to [DATA EXPUNGED}. - 
Dr. Cortez. 


Addendum 2: SCP-048, [DATA EXPUNGED], was accidentally 
thrown into the trash this morning and lost. In an unrelated incident, 
Dr. Cortez's arms were accidentally traumatically amputated in a 
horrific lunchroom blender accident. SCP-048 closed. - O5-11 


Addendum 3: SCP-048 has been once again removed from the 
archives, after it became highly apparent that no such "Vampyre 
Boat" had ever existed, much less come under Foundation control. 
It's currently believed that this error occurred when a low-level 


researcher attempted to save his "awesome story idea" to his hard 
drive and instead overwrote the blank slot reserved for SCP-048. 
Said researcher has been removed from any and all archival duties 
for the time being. - O5-11

SCP-049: Plague Doctor 


SCP-049. 


Item #: SCP-049 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-049 is contained within a 
Standard Secure Humanoid Containment Cell in Research 
Sector-02 at Site-19. SCP-049 must be sedated before any attempts 
to transport it. During transport, SCP-049 must be secured within a 
Class IIl Humanoid Restriction Harness (including a locking collar 
and extension restraints) and monitored by no fewer than two armed 
guards. 


While SCP-049 is generally cooperative with most Foundation 
personnel, outbursts or sudden changes in behaviour are to be met 
with elevated force. Under no circumstances should any personnel 
come into direct contact with SCP-049 during these outbursts. In the 
event SCP-049 becomes aggressive, the application of lavender (L. 
multifida) has been shown to produce a calming effect on the entity. 
Once calmed, SCP-049 generally becomes compliant, and will 
return to containment with little resistance. 


In order to facilitate the ongoing containment of SCP-049, the entity 
is to be provided with the corpse of a recently deceased animal 
(typically a bovine or other large mammal) once every two weeks for 
study. Corpses that become instances of SCP-049-2 are to be 
removed from SCP-049's containment cell and incinerated. 
SCP-049 is no longer permitted to interact with human subjects, and 
requests for human subjects are to be denied. 


Temporary Containment Procedure Update: (See Addendum 
049.3) Per Containment Committee Order 049.S19.17.1, SCP-049 
is no longer permitted to interact directly with any members of 
Foundation staff, nor is it to be provided with any additional corpses 


to be used in its surgeries. This order shall persist indefinitely, until 
such time a consensus regarding the ongoing containment of 
SCP-049 can be reached. 


Description: SCP-049 is a humanoid entity, roughly 1.9 meters in 
height, which bears the appearance of a medieval plague doctor. 
While SCP-049 appears to be wearing the thick robes and the 
ceramic mask indicative of that profession, the garments instead 
seem to have grown out of SCP-049's body over time!, and are now 
nearly indistinguishable from whatever form is beneath them. X-rays 
indicate that despite this, SCP-049 does have a humanoid skeletal 
structure beneath its outer layer. 


SCP-049 is capable of speech in a variety of languages, though 
tends to prefer English or medieval French2. While SCP-049 is 
generally cordial and cooperative with Foundation staff, it can 
become especially irritated or at times outright aggressive if it feels 
that it is in the presence of what it calls the "Pestilence". Although 
the exact nature of this Pestilence is currently unknown to 
Foundation researchers, it does seem to be an issue of immense 
concern to SCP-049. 


SCP-049 will become hostile with individuals it sees as being 
affected by the Pestilence, often having to be restrained should it 
encounter such. If left unchecked, SCP-049 will generally attempt to 
kill any such individual; SCP-049 is capable of causing all biological 
functions of an organism to cease through direct skin contact. How 
this occurs is currently unknown, and autopsies of SCP-049's 
victims have invariably been inconclusive. SCP-049 has expressed 
frustration or remorse after these killings, indicating that they have 
done little to kill "The Pestilence", though will usually seek to then 
perform a crude surgery on the corpse using the implements 
contained within a black doctor's bag it carries on its person at all 
times’. While these surgeries are not always "successful", they often 
result in the creation of instances of SCP-049-2. 


SCP-049-2 instances are reanimated corpses that have been 
operated on by SCP-049. These instances do not seem to retain 
any of their prior memories or mental functions, having only basic 
motor skills and response mechanisms. While these instances are 
generally inactive, moving very little and in a generally ambulatory 


fashion, they can become extremely aggressive if provoked, or if 
directed to by SCP-049. SCP-049-2 instances express active 
biological functions, though these are vastly different from currently 
understood human physiology. Despite these alterations, SCP-049 
often remarks that the subjects have been "cured". 


Addendum 049.1: Discovery 


SCP-049 was discovered during the investigation of a series of 
unknown disappearances in the town of Montauban in southern 
France. During a raid on a local home, investigators found several 
instances of SCP-049-2, as well as SCP-049. While law 
enforcement personnel engaged the hostile 049-2 instances, 
SCP-049 was noted as watching the engagement and taking notes 
in its journal. After all of the 049-2 instances were dispatched, 
SCP-049 willingly entered Foundation custody. 


The following interview was conducted by Dr. Raymond Hamm 
during the initial investigation. 
Interviewer: Dr. Raymond Hamm, Site-85 


Interviewee: SCP-049 


[BEGIN LOG] 


SCP-049: (/n French) So then, how should we begin? An 
introduction? 


Dr. Hamm: (Aside) Is that French? Can we get a 
translator- 


SCP-049: (/n English) The King's English! No need for 
translation, sir, | can speak it well enough. 


Dr. Hamm: Good. My name is Dr. Raymond Hamm, and 
|- 


SCP-049: Ah! A doctor! A like-minded individual, no 
doubt. Wherein is your speciality, sir? 


Dr. Hamm: Cryptobiology, why- 


SCP-049: (Laughs) A medical man, such as myself. 
Wonders abound! And here | worried | had been 
abducted by common street thugs! (Looks around the 
room) This place, then. This is your laboratory? | had 
wondered, as clean as it is, and with such little trace of 
the Pestilence here. 


Dr. Hamm: The Pestilence? What do you mean? 


SCP-049: The Scourge! The Great Dying. Come now, 
you know, the, uh... (taps temple furiously) ...what is it 
they call it, the... the... ah, no matter. The Pestilence, 
yes. It abounds outside these walls, you know. So many 
have succumbed, and many more will continue to, until 
such time as a perfect cure can be developed. (Leans 
back in its chair) Fortunately, | am very close. It is my 
duty in life to rid the world of it, you see. The Cure To 
End All Cures! 


Dr. Hamm: When you say "The Great Dying", are you 
talking about the bubonic plague? 


SCP-049: (Pauses) | don't know what that is. 


Dr. Hamm: | see. Right, well, the entities our agents 
encountered at that house, they were dead when you 
encountered them, yes? And you reanimated them? 


SCP-049: Hrmm, in a manner of speaking. You see 
things too simply, doctor! Expand your horizons. Life and 
death, sickness and health, these are amateur terms for 
amateur physicians. There is only one ailment that exists 
in the world of men, and that is the Pestilence. And 
nothing else! Make no mistake, they were very ill, all of 
them. 


Dr. Hamm: You think you cured those people? 


SCP-049: Indeed. My cure is most effective. 


Dr. Hamm: The things we recovered were not human. 


SCP-049: (Pauses and glares at Dr. Hamm) Yes, well, it 
is not a perfect cure. But that will come with time. And 
further experimentation! | have spent a lifetime 
developing my methods, Dr. Hamm, and will spend a 
lifetime more, if necessary. Now, we have wasted too 
much time. There is work to do! | will require a laboratory 
of my own, one where | can continue my research 
unimpeded. And assistants, of course, though | can 
provide those on my own, in time. (Laughs) 


Dr. Hamm: | don't think our organization will be willing 
to- 


SCP-049: Nonsense. We are all men of science. Fetch 
your coat and show me to my quarters, doctor. (Gestures 
with pointed stick) Our work begins now! 


[END LOG] 


Interviewer's Note: While SCP-049 is capable of communicating in a 
very human way, there is a strange sense of unease that one 
experiences when in its presence. Make no mistake, there is 
something very uncanny about this entity indeed. 


Additionally, we've confiscated that pointed stick that SCP-049 
keeps waving around. Part of this was due to standard confiscation 
protocols for the possessions of anomalies, and part because 049 
really is a menace swinging it around like he does. The entity was 
displeased at first, but after we made some concessions in providing 
it with "test subjects" (which are, admittedly, more for the benefit of 
our own research) it warmed up to the idea. 


Addendum 049.2: Observation Log 


While in containment at Site-19, SCP-049 has spent a considerable 
amount of time studying and performing surgery on the various 
mammalian corpses it has been provided. SCP-049 will routinely 
spend several days performing surgery, and then (regardless of 
whether or not the corpse becomes an instance of SCP-049-2) 


spending several more days documenting its findings in a thick 
leather journal stored within its doctor's bag. SCP-049 will often 
seek to share its findings with members of Foundation staff. 


The following is a log of several occasions during which SCP-049 
was observed operating on a mammalian corpse. 


Observational Log 049.0L.1 SUMMARY 
Subject: SCP-049 


Preface: A test subject (D-85123) was introduced into 
SCP-049's containment cell. The entity expressed 
sincere gratitude towards all members of the 
containment and research staff. 


Observation Notes: SCP-049 began by asking D-85123 
several standard medical questions, as it began 
removing tools from its bag. Shortly after finishing its 
preparations, SCP-049 quickly closed the distance 
between the two, killing the subject with a touch to its 
throat. Afterwards, SCP-049 made a number of 
considerable alterations to the basic structure of the 
subject's corpse, often introducing fluids from within its 
bag into the subject by way of a hand powered pump 
and copper tubing. 


The resulting 049-2 instance became animated, flailing 
and grasping at the walls of the chamber with a number 
of manufactured limbs while moaning out of an oblong 
orifice now present in its sternum. During this time, 
SCP-049 was observed taking notes of the instance in its 
journal, and remarking to the watching research staff 
about the efficacy of its cure. Security personnel entered 
the chamber to move SCP-049 back to containment, and 
were attacked by the instance. The security team 
dispatched the 049-2 instance, and SCP-049 returned to 
containment with no resistance, stating that it was 
pleased with the results. 


Observational Log 049.0L.2 SUMMARY 


Subject: SCP-049 


Preface: SCP-049 was provided the corpse of a recently 
deceased goat. SCP-049 expressed gratitude at the 
provision. 


Observation Notes: SCP-049 operated on the goat 
corpse for several days, eventually resulting in an 
instance of SCP-049-2. SCP-049 expressed pleasure in 
this outcome, though admitted "the disease was still in its 
nascent stage. My veterinarian practice is rudimentary, 
but the patient responded well to the procedure." 


Observational Log 049.0L.3 SUMMARY 
Subject: SCP-049 


Preface: SCP-049 was provided the corpse of a recently 
deceased orangutan. SCP-049 expressed noted 
gratitude at the provision, due to the similarities between 
the orangutan and common human physiology. 


Observation Notes: SCP-049 spent several days 
operating on the orangutan, reanimating it several times. 
However, SCP-049 appeared to be discontent with the 
results it experienced, returning to the creature three 
times after its initial reanimation for additional work. After 
it was unable to reanimate the corpse a fifth time, 
SCP-049 turned the corpse over to Foundation staff for 
incineration, stating "| have learned so much from this, 
though | fear my early optimism was misplaced. | hadn’t 
yet come across such a... a stumbling block on my road 
to the cure. More subjects like this would do a great deal 
in advancing my research." 


Observational Log 049.0L.7 FULL 
Subject: SCP-049 


Preface: SCP-049 was provided the corpse of a recently 
deceased bovine. SCP-049 expressed mild annoyance 


at the provision, though accepted it nonetheless‘. 


Observation Notes: SCP-049 spent several days 
operating on the bovine corpse, breaking only to dine on 
a requested dinner of thin crackers, salted pork, and 
hard cheese®. Beginning first by embalming the corpse, 
SCP-049 was observed producing a number of long 
syringes from its bag, each containing a different dark, 
viscous fluid. SCP-049 described these fluids as 
"essences of the humors", and elaborated by saying "the 
Pestilence may bring about a systemic imbalance. In 
such a case, before true healing can begin, one must 
find the humors in balance or the body will reject the 
cure."6 


Over the next few days, SCP-049 spent a considerable 
amount of time adjusting the organs of the bovine corpse 
with a number of large metal instruments. After eight 
days, SCP-049 produced a lightning rod, which Dr. 
Hamm exchanged for an electric cattle prod attached to 
an extension cord, and struck the corpse in several 
locations. This action seemingly had the effect of 
reanimating the bovine, which once again became 
ambulatory, despite the inversion of the head and 
reorientation of its limbs. 


Follow Up Interview 
[BEGIN LOG] 


Dr. Hamm: We've watched you work for several weeks 
now, and honestly I'm not sure | understand what you're 
doing. Can you describe your process in detail? 


SCP-049: Oh goodness no, the process is most 
intensive. As | said to your assistant, the best instruction 
you will find about my methods are here in my journals, 
as | have kept exhaustive records of my work’ there. 


Dr. Hamm: | see. My concern, doctor, is that we still 


don't understand what you're seeking to cure, or how it 
manifests, or how turning these creatures into quasi- 
living, mindless drones helps in that effort. 


SCP-049: You do not understand the Pestilence? Even 
after all this time? Doctor, it is an unspeakable horror, 
one that has shown its true face many times before and 
will again. | find myself blessed with the wisdom and 
good senses needed to root it out and destroy it, but 
many like yourself cannot. It is a cruel judgement, | fear, 
to be at the mercy of a disease you cannot fully 
comprehend! 


Dr. Hamm: That still doesn't answer my question. How is 
your cure any kind of cure at all? 


SCP-049: (Growing suddenly agitated) It is a cure! You 
may laugh at my efforts if you please, but do not 
besmirch the good name of scientific progress that has 
developed this great mercy. What you so shortsightedly 
see here is a life better than any this creature could have 
hoped for, stricken as it was with Pestilence. This 
creature is now clean, unable to spread the Pestilence 
and free from the terror it would have experienced 
otherwise. 


Dr. Hamm: This is hardly a creature at all, doctor, it's not 
even- 


SCP-049: (Very agitated) Do not jape with me, sir! You 
and your colleagues are like so many others, unable to 
look past minor setbacks to see the salvation taking 
place before your very eyes. Do you wait to remove 
rotten timbers until the hall collapses on top of you? No. 
You find them and you pull them out and replace them 
with those untouched by rot! And most of all, you do not 
simply mock the structure because it now looks different 
to you. It is strong! It is free of disease. 


Dr. Hamm: I'm sorry. | didn't mean to agitate you. I'm 
just trying to understand. 


SCP-049: (Deep breath) Yes, well, do mind your words 
in the future, doctor. | am a professional, but even 
professionals may feel the bite of pride in dealing with 
criticism of their masterpiece. | will forgive this as an act 
of good faith between colleagues. 


Dr. Hamm: Is there anything else | can help you with? 


SCP-049: (Pauses, looking away from Dr. Hamm) No, 
that will be all. Another test subject, on the usual 
schedule. You know my preference of subjects with more 
human anatomies. 


[END LOG] 


Attending Researcher's Note: SCP-049 does seem to 
genuinely want to help other humans, though it has not 
yet been able to provide a concrete example of what 
exactly it is trying to save us all from. | have watched it 
now over several weeks, and while the outcomes do not 
seem to ever change, SCP-049 continues to claim that it 
is growing closer to its perfect cure. | think the entity may 
be more aware of the reality of these outcomes than it 
would like us to think. 


Addendum 049.3: 04/16/2017 Incident 


Starting shortly after SCP-049's initial containment, Dr. Hamm 
conducted a number of interviews with the subject regarding its 
anomalous properties, and over time began to note its displeasure 
with its subjects and the SCP-049-2 instances. This continued for a 
period of several months, during which SCP-049 never exhibited 
any aggressive behaviours. 


On April 16th, 2017, as Dr. Hamm was entering SCP-049's test 
chamber to conduct another routine interview, the entity began to 
grow anxious and asked Dr. Hamm if he was feeling well. Following 
protocol, Dr. Hamm reminded SCP-049 that the interview was 
required, after which the entity became hostile and attacked Dr. 
Hamm, killing him. Due to a lapse in security protocol, and because 
Dr. Hamm did not activate the in-chamber emergency system, Dr. 


Hamm's corpse was not discovered until three hours later, by which 
point SCP-049 had converted it into an instance of SCP-049-2. 


In the aftermath of this incident, SCP-049 was interviewed by Dr. 
Theron Sherman. 


Interviewer: Dr. Theron Sherman, Site-42 


Interviewee: SCP-049 


[BEGIN LOG] 
Dr. Sherman: | need you to explain yourself. 
(No response) 


Dr. Sherman: SCP-049, you are being directed to 
explain your actions, and | will remind you that failure to 
cooperate will result in further restrictions during your 
containment. 


SCP-049: (Pauses) My actions do not need to be 
explained. 


Dr. Sherman: You killed Raymond Hamm and then 
butchered him until he- 


SCP-049: (/nterrupting, angrily) Not dead! No! Not... not 
dead. He is... he is cured. 


Dr. Sherman: Cured? Cured of what? 


SCP-049: The Pestilence, sir! | had thought you, at least, 
would realize what luck it is | detected it before- 


Dr. Sherman: (/nterrupting) What pestilence? You keep 
going on and on about this pestilence but you have not 
once been able to properly identify this "disease". What 
could you have possibly seen in him today that you had 
not seen so many times before? That it would be worth 


his life? 


SCP-049: He... (oauses) The Pestilence presents and 
progresses in unforeseeable fashions, and has a queer 
way of- of creeping into the unprepared, and... 
(breathing becomes heavier) call it what you want, 
doctor. It was a mercy | did to him. He is cured. 


Dr. Sherman: He is a vegetable! 


SCP-049: (Pauses) |... | would not expect you to 
understand. You and your... your i/k have proven time 
and time again to be not men of science, but men of- of 
emotion. You cannot appreciate the horrors | have seen, 
those many millions who have succumbed to the 
Pestilence and been changed, who- 


Dr. Sherman: Your cure cost Ray his life! 


SCP-049: No good S/R| have saved it! You would allow 
this world to slip back into the, the- the despair of 
disease and death, ignoring that | have created a miracle 
and- 


Dr. Sherman: (Talking over SCP-049) What disease? 
What pestilence? He was a healthy man! He was a good 
doctor! 


SCP-049: -am offering it freely to the afflicted! You are 
not worth this argument, sir. You are shortsighted and 
foolish. Dr. Hamm was sick, and |... (breath catches) | 
cured him. | am the only one who can do this. My work 
must continue, there is so much still to learn, so much to- 


Dr. Sherman: I've had enough of this. Consider your 
allowances revoked. Welcome to containment, oh-four- 
nine. (Away from mic) We're done here. 


SCP-049: -do, and others can be saved! Even you, 
though you do not deserve it, might be saved! | can save 
them all! | can cast down this plague, once and for all. | 


can do this! Only me! I... |... (labored breathing) | 


saved... | saved him... Dr. Hamm, I... | cured him... he 
was sick, | know he was sick, | know he was, and I... you 
are all sick, but I... | can save you. | can save all of you, 
because I... | am the cure.

Addendum 049.4: Post-Incident Report Interview 


The following interview is an excerpt from the 4/16/17 049 Incident 
Report. The interview was conducted by Dr. Elijah Itkin, and took 
place three weeks after the start of the initial investigation. 


Date: 5/7/17 

Interviewer: Dr. Elijah Itkin 
Interviewee: SCP-049 
[BEGIN LOG] 


Dr. Itkin: SCP-049, we are conducting this interview to 
close out our investigation of your actions taken on April 
16th that resulted in the death of a staff member. Do you 
have any comments to make? 


SCP-049: Only that | look forward to the day when you 
will allow me to resume my work! | have spent the last 
few weeks compiling my notes and constructing a new 
theory for how the Pestilence was able to infect someone 
in such an insidious manner that | nearly couldn't detect 
it. 


Dr. Itkin: Have you experienced any remorse for your 
actions? For the death of Dr. Hamm? 


SCP-049: (Waves his hand) Ah, yes. Well, the death of a 
colleague is always regrettable, but in the face of the 
Pestilence we must be swift, doctor, and act without 
hesitation. 


Dr. Itkin: Dr. Sherman noted in his report that you 
seemed to be mournful during your initial interview. 


SCP-049: Mourn- (Pauses) Perhaps. | had not thought 
that... It is lamentable that a fellow doctor became 
infected, but the work continues. Regrettable as... as it 
was, Dr. Hamm's death provided important insight. Living 
human subjects are the only way to proceed forward, | 
am decided. My cure is of little use on dead flesh, and | 
have gleaned all | can from your generous supply of 
corpses. My desires turn towards tending to those still 
living who suffer from the disease. 


Dr. Itkin: I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. 
SCP-049: (Laughs) Oh doctor, | wouldn't be so sure.

Footnotes 

1. The robes and gloves are identical to a thick hide built up on the 
skin, while the mask is composed of a kind of chitin growing out of 
the bones of the face. 

2. The entity claims to have originated in 15th century France, 
though admits that it is "particularly well-traveled". 

3. The space within this bag is seemingly anomalously large, as 
SCP-049 has been observed pulling objects larger than the bag 
itself from within it in order to operate on deceased subjects. 

4. SCP-049 had stated its desire to work on human subjects several 
times between this occasion and the earlier provision of an 
orangutan, noting its discontentedness when they would not be 
provided. 

5. SCP-049 has expressed that it does not require sustenance, but 
enjoys it and feels that the food helps to put it in the right mind to 
operate. 

6. SCP-049 added to this statement by saying "This is, of course, 
elementary knowledge for the practical physician. | would have 
thought you would have learned this during your education!" 

7. Notably, SCP-049's journals are not written in any known 
language, and attempts by linguists and codebreakers to decipher 
them have been unsuccessful.

SCP-050: To The Cleverest 


Item #: SCP-050 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: So far, all attempts to contain 
SCP-050 have proven fruitless’. At present, whoever has 
possession of SCP-050 is to leave it in an office they use with 
regularity?. 


Description: SCP-050 appears to be a statue of a monkey reading 
a book, approximately 1 foots tall. On the bottom of the statue are 
engraved the words "To The Cleverest" in cursive script. 


The statue has so far proven resistant to all forms of damage‘. As 
such, there is no accurate method to date the object. 


When left alone, SCP-050 has shown itself to be both useful and 
antagonistic to its current owner®. Although never seen to move, no 
matter the manner or amount of recordings, any room it is left in 
becomes very clean, to a polish whenever possible. Paperwork is 
filed, trash is emptied, and in general, clutter is removed. However, 
SCP-050 also has a tendency to leave traps for its owner, so current 
holders should carefully check their offices upon returning. 


Footnotes 

1. Testing to contain SCP-050 has been discontinued at this time. 

2. Attempts to leave SCP-050 in unused offices have resulted in it 
following its owner home. This is a violation of regulations and not to 
be allowed. 

3. One of the quirks of SCP-050 is that no matter what form of 
measurement is used, any record of said measurements will quickly 
be replaced by the Customary System measurements. 

4. Attempts to damage SCP-050 have resulted in increasingly lethal 
‘pranks.' As of this writing, destruction testing is discontinued.

"The Great Researcher Prank War of' " 


On 01/ /20 , During an attempted capture of SCP-963 by Chaos 
Insurgency agents, Dr. Bright made use of 963's intrinsic capabilities 
to make fools of the attempted kidnappers. When Bright returned to 
his office, he found a monkey statue waiting for him. His office had 
been tidied in his absence, and everything filed away, which came 
as something of a shock for the naturally messy Dr. Bright. 


Upon further investigation, it was found that — despite the apparent 
tidiness of his office — all of his pens had been drained of all but the 
last bit of ink, and several important documents had been translated 
into Aramaic. 


Dr. Bright immediately began the usual testing of this new SCP, but 
found himself going nowhere, until Dr. Rights, as payback for 
something unspecified, smeared his desk with one half of a 
compound epoxy, and applied the other half of the compound to his 
utensils. At this point, SCP-050 vanished from Dr. Bright's office, 
reappearing in Dr. Rights' office, whereupon 050 began the cleanup 
again. 


After several tests, it became apparent that SCP-050 was easily 
contained, as long as no one outside the Foundation proved to be 
cleverer than the Foundation scientists. Of course, this led to many 
of the Foundation scientists seeking to claim the title of 'Most Clever 
for themselves. 


And thus began the "Great Researcher Prank War of ' . 


Memorandum 050-A: No good will come of this. — O5- 


Entry 1: Bright -> English 


Entry 1: Dr. English accesses SCP-705. 705 is allowed 
access to approximately one hundred pounds of similarly 
colored play dough. After several minutes 'conversation’, 
the new army retreats to the ventilation shafts. No 
footage of Dr. Bright's room exists, but several hours 
later Dr. Bright stumbles out, covered in little red welts, 
and red play dough, swearing and muttering. SCP-050 
transfers ownership to Dr. English. 


Entry 2: English -> Isendorf 


At11:30 pmon //_ , Agent Strelnikov is seen exiting 
his room in full rage, carrying a machine gun. Smoke 
pours from the open door of his quarters. 


Senior Researcher Isendorf is later found to be in 
possession of 050, proving that a good enough prank will 
attract 050's attention no matter the target. 


Entry 3: lsendorf -> Kondraki 


At10:25am //_ , Dr. lsendorf returned from a brief 
coffee break to discover a typed note sitting on his desk, 
rewritten here. 


Dr. Isendorf, 

It seems there was a problem with the Class-A 
Amnesiac you requested following your 
SCP-231 assignment. Please hop on the next 
plane leaving from the site, and wait until 
someone comes and picks you up so that we 
can get this all sorted out. 

Cheers, 

O5- 


Despite factual and stylistic errors in this note 
(inappropriately informal style, the fact that there is no 
Overseer 3.14), Dr. Isendorf apparently took the note 


seriously and became highly distressed. Dr. Isendorf 
boarded the next airplane leaving Site-23, which turned 
out to be a regularly scheduled flight travelling to Site-19. 


Dr. Isendorf apparently did not realize this until landing, 
at which point he still waited over eight hours outside the 
site, before a guard found him and asked him what he 
was doing. Dr. lsendorf soon confirmed that he had 
never been asigned to SCP-231, and quickly worked out 
what had happened. 


SCP-050 was observed in the office of Dr. Kondraki later 
that same day. 


Entry 4: Kondraki -> Kald 


At 7:28 pm, / /2009, Dr. Kondraki was called away by 
Assistant Researcher Haus, under the pretense of a 
SCP-173 containment breach. Security cameras 
recovered footage of the ensuing prank. 


Upon returning to his office, Kondraki pauses briefly 
when he reaches his door. Moments later, he is seen 
backing slowly out of his office, keeping his eyes fixed on 
something inside. 


It was later revealed that Dr. Kald had placed a replica of 
SCP-173 in Kondraki's office, positioned in such a way 
that it faced the door, establishing "eye contact" with 
whoever might enter the room. Kondraki continued to 
retreat until slipping on a hitherto unnoticed puddle of 
cooking oil. 


The replica of SCP-173 (made of wire frame, papier 
mache and spray-paint) was relocated to Doctor Josef 
Kald's office, shortly followed by SCP-050. 


Entry 5: Kald -> Yoric 


Upon returning to his office on //2009, Dr. Kald was 
surprised to find the statue replaced with a note, reading: 


"| can't believe no one's thought of this!" The statue was 
later located in the staff locker of Agent Yoric, who had 
simply stolen it. 


Entry 6: Yoric -> Kald 


Statue returned to Kald. Yoric's living space in utter 
disarray. Agent Yoric is found unconscious, the words 
"TO BE EARNED" tattooed on his forehead through 
unknown means. 


Entry 7: Kald -> Light 


From / /2009to / /2009, maintenance teams were 
called twenty-seven times to Dr. Kald's office while he 
was out, all having received orders to install, repair, or 
remove a piece of furniture from the office, apparently at 
random. Dr. Kald became increasingly paranoid about 
these intrusions, considering his possession of SCP-050, 
andat : of / /2009, decided to bring his paperwork 
and the SCP back to his quarters and work from there. 
Upon entering his quarters, Dr. Kald was doused by the 
contents of a bucket carefully balanced on the entrance's 
doorjamb. 


Ownership of SCP-050 changes to Dr. Light. 
Entry 8: Light -> Coleman 


On / /2009, Dr. Coleman was seen pinning a notice to 
the breakroom notice board which read, "Due to the 
effects of SCP- all personnel who have received an 
amnesiac of any kind within the past six months are 
required to report to Dr. Light immediately." This was 
signed and notarised by no fewer than 17 members of 
O5 command and senior staff. After seeing this an email 
was immediately sent out retracting the information and 
causing mass panic among some of our more paranoid 
employees. After what can only be described as a "bum 
rush" on Dr. Light's newly refurbished office resulting in 
the destruction of many items contained within, SCP-050 


was found on Dr. Coleman's desk. 
Entry 9: Coleman -> Okagawa 


On / /2009, Dr. Coleman was called out of his quarters 
by an email from an unknown source. Five minutes later, 
security footage showed Dr. Okagawa entering 
Schumacher's quarters, carrying a bag with unknown 
contents, and leaving the room a few minutes later 
without the bag. 


Upon returning, Coleman discovered a dead rodent 
which appeared to have been slathered in the secretions 
of SCP-447. Personnel in adjacent rooms reported 
hearing a stream of profanity, followed by a thud. 
Worried researchers found him passed out on the floor, 
while the slime was later identified as green gelatin from 
the kitchen, and the "dead rat" as a rubber toy. 


SCP-050 was later found in Dr. Okagawa's office. 
Entry 10: Okagawa -> Chepelskii 


Video Log: / /2009, 12:34 PM. Dr. Okagawa leaves for 
the cafeteria (presumably for lunch/late breakfast). 
Researcher Chepelskii is seen entering Dr. Okagawa's 
office, carrying several testing vials and SCP-_. Left the 
office five minutes later, closing the door behind him 
rather hurriedly. 


Okagawa returns ten minutes later, opens the door, and 
is snagged by a large tentacle which pulls him into the 
office and shuts the door behind him. 


A security team is dispatched to Okagawa's office, and 
discovers him entangled by a giant squid. The team is 
seen trying to neutralize the cephalopod and free 
Okagawa. The animal's remains were subsequently 
destroyed. 


SCP-050 has been located in Researcher Chepelskii's 


office.

[DATA EXPUNGED] 


Entry 15: SCP-732 -> Light 


On / /2012, Dr. Light connected the SCP-732-infected 
hard drive to a scanner, and asked 732 if it could 
produce "LOLCAT" images on request. Its response, 
presented in the form of an 8000-word erotic story 
featuring itself (in the form of aman named "Lord 
Kickass"), Dr. Light, and [REDACTED], was that with the 
help of SCP-050 it can do anything. 


Dr. Light provided SCP-732 with scanned photographs of 
SCP-577, SCP-529, SCP-607, and two instantiations of 
SCP-331. SCP-732 produced 10 "LOLCAT" images for 
each photograph. 


Dr. Light then provided SCP-732 with SCP-637 in the 
form of a drawing by SCP-637-2. As a result of this, 
SCP-732 was rapidly overwritten with an estimated 

63 GB of text describing SCP-637's actions and 
appearance; whether this information could have filled all 
available computer memory is unknown, as the last 
actions of the "Lord Kickass" instantiation were to induce 
total mechanical failure to its hard drive, accompanied by 
catastrophic uncontrolled oxidation. 


SCP-050 was found in Dr. Light's office the next 
morning. 


Note: SCP-637-2 reports that SCP-637 was not harmed 
by its venture into SCP-732, but that its fur was "really 
messed up". 


Note: Other copies of SCP-732 seem unaffected by the 
suicide of "Lord Kickass". 


SCP-051: Japanese Obstetrical Model 


Item #: SCP-051 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-051 and SCP-051-A are 
to be kept in a sealed containment facility. SCP-051-A is kept within 
a locked, climate-controlled document box with a viewing window, to 
prevent degradation of its material. Any personnel (with the 
exception of pregnant or non-sterile female personnel, who might 
not be aware of an early-stage pregnancy) may access SCP-051 as 
long as a request is placed before-hand and cleared by site 
administration. 


Description: SCP-051 is a 25 cm (10 in) anatomically correct model 
of a human female, carved out of ivory, with typically Asian features. 
Microscopic analysis shows that the head hair is human hair. The 
doll is jointed at the shoulders, hips, and knees. The 'stomach' area 
of the doll is fully removable as a 'cap' of ivory, exposing a detailed 
ribcage and organs, and a 2.5 cm (1 in) ivory fetus connected to the 
main figure by a leather cord umbilicus. 


When brought into the presence of a pregnant human female, 
SCP-051 has various deleterious effects upon the pregnancy, 
generally resulting in miscarriage of the fetus. Reports include a 
gentle compulsion to handle the model, open its stomach cap and 
take out the fetus. This results in nausea and cramping within 5 
minutes, vaginal bleeding that begins as spotting and may progress 
to hemorrhage within the next half-hour, and miscarriage within 2 - 
24 hours in most recorded cases. Medical records indicate that the 
aborted fetuses bear moderate to severe defects. Pregnancies 
carried to term after exposure to the model have resulted in severely 
deformed live births, including deaths of the mothers and _ infants 
terminated after birth by the delivering physician (see interview 
051-1 below). Witnesses to these live births showed signs of severe 
emotional trauma that was alleviated, after Foundation interviews, 


by administration of a Class A amnestic. 


SCP-051-A is a fragment of text on rice paper that was discovered 
with SCP-051. The surviving text is written with plant-derived ink 
test-dated to the 12th century, and the characters have been 
identified as a known early dialect of Japanese. Translation reveals 
the text is part of a prayer or spell against ‘demons’ that attack 
unborn babies. The incantation orders these forces or demons into 
the model, instead of a pregnant woman, and claims to trap them 
there. However, centuries have degraded the paper and ink so that 
the full incantation and instructions, if any, cannot be deciphered. 


Addendum: SCP-051 and SCP-051-A were discovered in a box of 
early Japanese artifacts delivered anonymously to the 

Museum in 1938. After 60 years and a number of incidents resulting 
from contact by female secretaries, researchers, and students, an 
Agent on staff in the museum's archives learned of its properties 
and obtained it for Foundation study.

« SCP-050 | SCP-051 | SCP-052 » 


Interview 051-1 


Interview 051-1 
Interviewed: Dr. David Ehrenfeld 
Interviewer: Agent 


Foreword: Dr. Ehrenfeld was the attending physician at the death of 
MarthaR , museum, 02 January 1942. This interview was 
conducted off-site as Dr. Ehrenfeld was a resident of nursing 
facility; at the time of interview he was 95 years old and physically 
infirm, though retaining most of his mental faculties. A class "A" 
amnestic was administered after the interview. 


<Begin Log, October 20 > 
Interviewer: Thank you for seeing me, doctor. 


Dr. Ehrenfeld: You are welcome. | have outlived most people who 
would care to hear such stories. Then again, they surely would have 
thought | was telling lies, or slipping into dementia. Now, you may 
think the same, but at my age, | do not care [thin laughter]. 


Interviewer: Can you tell me what you remember of the events of 
January second, 1942? 


Dr. Ehrenfeld: It was...an ugly day. Cold and ugly. canbea 
wonderful city sometimes, but winter is a bad season. It was late in 
the evening when my housekeeper told me | had been called. | was 
tired, but... a birth is always a wonderful experience. | thought it 
would cheer me. [coughing; sound of the doctor sipping liquid] 


| had a nurse with me, but the girl never came back to my office after 
that night. 


Fifteen minutes, perhaps, for the cab to reach the museum from my 
house? I'm not certain, but | think so. The doorman was waiting for 


me. He led me to the room where they had poor Mrs. RF laid out on 
a low table covered with...some canvas groundcloths, | think; to 
make her more comfortable. 


Interviewer: What was her condition when you arrived? 


Dr. Ehrenfeld: Thinking back now | should have realized...it was 
very bad. But | was young and had not much experience. She was 
quiet and only grunted with each contraction; she did not respond 
when | checked her vital signs and spoke to her. She did not even 
look at me. There was quite a bit of blood; a gush of it covered my 
hands as | reached down to begin helping her with the birth. The 
floor was slick with it underneath her. And the baby had not crowned 
yet; she was dilated well and the contractions were quite close 
together, and this made me fear she may be having a breech birth. | 
showed a calm face, though. | did not want to panic my nurse, or the 
researcher Doctor Merrill, who was nearby... a dignified older man. | 
believe | wanted to impress him. 


[A pause, breathing sounds, more sipping] 
Interviewer: And then, doctor? 


Dr. Ehrenfeld: | was concerned because of all the blood, that her 
life was in danger. | told her to push, and she was pushing...and my 
nurse helped her, putting downward pressure on the abdomen, as | 
attempted to manually aid the infant's emergence. | will spare you 
the details of a breech-birth procedure; it can be found in any 
obstetrics manual of the time. 


| probed blindly and felt... | thought it was a coil of the umbilicus, 
perhaps tangled around the baby's neck. | almost withdrew, thinking 
that an episiotomy would be required, but she tore before | could 
proceed. There was more blood, and the baby began to emerge into 
my hands. 


[a pause] 


| had never seen such a thing. You are a researcher; do you know 
much of the common cephalic birth defects? This was uncommon. | 
thought at first that the infant must be stillborn. Its flesh was gray — 


not the vernix-covered gray of a normal birth, but lifeless and 
degraded. The smell of decay... 


| recoiled, and the poor mother screamed on her last push, and the 
infant was delivered into my arms, with a great rush of hemorrhage. 
The deformity... unspeakable. The thoracic cavity was completely 
open, the limbs.... 


Interviewer: But it wasn't a stillbirth. 


Dr. Ehrenfeld: It looked at me. | heard the nurse above me, 
beginning resuscitation attempts... then heard her gasp and falter as 
she saw what | held. Gagging as the smell filled the room. | tried to 
drop the creature, but it clung to my hands, | felt my skin begin to 
blister and crack. 


Strange how clearly | can remember it. At my age, sometimes | 
cannot even remember what | had for dinner. The infant was almost 
double the length of a normal, viable fetus at eight months. Its lower 
body... segmented... 


[coughing, almost choking; a pause of two minutes while the 
interviewer assists Dr. Ehrenfeld with a nearby oxygen mask. ] 


Interviewer: What did you do then? 


Dr. Ehrenfeld: It began to laugh...and | killed it. [a pause] | broke its 
neck while it looked at me. 


Interviewer: Were there ever any questions or consequences? 


Dr. Ehrenfeld: [thin laughter] In 1942, with the country at war, and 
two respected professional men to give their testimony? No. The 
museum building had a furnace; | disposed of the infant's body 
myself. We claimed some more normal defect had taken the lives of 
mother and child. The husband was a drunkard and cared for 
nothing but her life-insurance policy. | believe he was drafted shortly 
thereafter, and died somewhere in France. And | left my practice 
almost immediately. | never delivered another child. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Dr. Ehrenfeld expired four months later of 
pneumonia. 


SCP-052: Time-Traveling Train 


Item #: SCP-052 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Although it is not possible to 
remove SCP-052 from the New York City subway system, its 
predictable behavior allows The Foundation to prevent the public 
from encountering it. The 59th St. A/B/C/D Station is to be closed to 
the public from 11pm-1am on Saturdays/Sundays under the pretext 
of “track maintenance.” During that time, the station is to be staffed 
with agents from Mobile Task Force Gamma-6. Agents have been 
ordered to prevent accidental public access to the station, and to 
capture anyone seen leaving SCP-052. Anyone who has been on 
SCP-052 must be transported to Site-21 for debriefing and 
processing. Members of the public who see SCP-052 may be 
released after the administration of a Class B amnestic. 


Description: SCP-052 is a type R4 New York City subway train. 
Official records indicate this train was built in 1932 and 
decommissioned for scrap in 1975. Nevertheless, it continues to 
appear on the Uptown A/D track at the 59th St. and 8th Avenue 
station at 11:57 p.m. every Saturday. The train is in perfect condition 
and labeled as an “A” train. SCP-052 appears at the designated 
time, opens its doors to accept/discharge passengers for 
approximately five minutes, then closes its doors and disappears. It 
does not appear to ever contain passengers, except for those 
leaving the train during its appearance. 


The majority of subjects that have boarded SCP-052 have not been 
recovered. Passengers leaving SCP-052 claim to have boarded on 
various dates, from 1976, up to 2204; the latter claims he thought 
SCP-052 was a 300th Anniversary Special train. Subjects retain no 
knowledge of time on board. 


Addendum: Passengers leaving SCP-052 must be brought to 


Site-21 and interrogated to determine their origin and possible threat 
to the current timestream. Generally, passengers from the past may 
be given Class A amnestics and reintegrated into society. 
Passengers from the future must be held indefinitely (see order 69- 
A1 from 05-9). Site-21 currently holds 26 recovered passengers. 


Despite our protocols to prevent public access, we are still receiving 
subjects from the future. Although some are from alternate timelines, 
it is possible SCP-052 will begin to appear at another time/place, 
requiring expanded containment. 


The Foundation has placed several subjects onto the train, in an 
attempt to understand its activities when not visible. 


Test 052-1: May 31, 2009. Agent _—_ placed on train. Not recovered 
as of present date. 


Test 052-2: June 6, 2009. Agent enters train. Not recovered, 
as he apparently returned to 1980 and was killed in a confrontation 
with [REDACTED]. 


Test 052-3: See notes on recovered passenger 052-4. 


After Test 052-3, O5 Command issued orders that no further agents 
should be risked as passengers on SCP-052. Consideration has 
been given to using Class D Personnel in their place, but the risk of 
releasing them into the past is too great. 


Log of Recovered Passengers in Foundation Custody 


Passenger 052-1: Entered train July 14, 2012; recovered: March 8, 
2008. 

Notes: An accountant on the way home from the theatre when she 
entered the train, 052-1 has expressed surprise and dismay to have 
traveled back in time four years, but appears to be otherwise 
unchanged and unharmed. She has been determined to currently 
exist in this timeline and must be held indefinitely to prevent 
unwanted temporal effects. 


Passenger 052-2: Entered train June 12, 1976; recovered: March 
15, 2008. 


Notes: Subject entered train when lost on the way to “Studio 54”. 
Although unharmed and not a temporal threat, 052-2 is being held 
as the examining psychiatrist believes 32 years is too long a period 
over which to facilitate successful reintegration. 


Passenger 052-3: Entered train December 6, 2014; recovered June 
20, 2009. 

Notes: A tourist from Jacksonville, Florida; subject 052-3 now 
speaks Albanian instead of English. Held due to O5 orders re: 
subjects from the future, as well as possible reintegration difficulties. 


Passenger 052-4: Entered train June 13, 2009; recovered June 27, 
2009. 

Notes: Agent from Test 052-3. Agent returned with his hands 
surgically removed and a note in his pocket with the message “Send 
no more.” Subject does not remember his experience on the train, 
but when subjected to hypnosis, revealed [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Passenger 052-5: Agent _ . Entered train at unknown future date, 
in violation of protocol. On July 11, 2009, body of subject was 
violently thrown from the train, landing 10 meters away. On 
examination, subject was found to have been [DATA EXPUNGED]. 
Whether security should be increased to prevent subject from 
entering SCP-052 is under consideration. 


Passenger 052-6: claims to be a Level 4 Supervisor from 
the “SCP Federation” who entered the train in December 2124. 
Subject had been administered a Class A-Prime amnestic prior to 
boarding, in a successful attempt to avoid the fate of Passengers 
052-4 and 052-5. Recovered Feb. 6, 2010. As he will never be 
released from Foundation custody, O5 Command has approved 
sharing otherwise classified information about other artifacts in our 
possession, in hopes of gaining new methods of containment, and 
becoming aware of future security breaches. Agent has been 
cooperative, and claims: 


— That it is good we do not know how to open SCP-699. Subject 
turned visibly pale and refused to discuss this item further. 


— To be a Survivor of the “Great Zombie Plague of 2092” caused by 
an SCP-008 containment breach. 


— That SCP- canbe killed by [DATA EXPUNGED] with a [DATA 
EXPUNGED] and SCP-_. [Permission to try this has been denied 
by O5- .] 


— That he worked for Dr. Jack Bright.

SCP-053: Young Girl 


Item #: SCP-053 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-053 is to be contained in 
an area no less than 5 m x 5 m (16 ft x 16 ft) and given adequate 
room to move. Toys, books, games, and other recreational devices 
are to be amply provided and rotated every three (3) months. Proper 
bedding, bathroom, and medical facilities are to be maintained at all 
times. Food should be provided three (3) times daily, and two (2) 
snacks are allowed if requested. 


No physical contact is to be made with SCP-053 without full 
atmosphere-containment suit and eye shield. No eye contact is to be 
made with SCP-053 for any reason. Any objects given to personnel 
by SCP-053 may be removed, but must be given to quarantine for 
examination. Only one (1) member of personnel may be present in 
the room at any given time and must be secured by a safety line of 
steel cable. All personnel must be removed from SCP-053's 
containment chamber within 10 minutes of entering. 


Any personnel who begin to act erratically, scream, or attempt to 
grab SCP-053 are to be removed and quarantined. Any personnel 
attempting to remove their suit are also to be removed and 
quarantined. No sharp objects or firearms are allowed in SCP-053's 
containment room. 


Description: SCP-053 appears to be a small 3-year-old girl. She is 
capable of basic speech and appears to be slightly above average in 
mental development. She has a generally pleasant personality and 
rarely seems upset, becoming agitated only in the presence of 
groups of people. 


Any and all humans over the age of three who make eye contact 
with, physically touch, or remain around SCP-053 for longer than 10 


minutes will rapidly become irrational, paranoid, and homicidal. 
Most, if not all, of these feelings will be directed at SCP-053, and 
afflicted subjects will attempt to kill SCP-053 after first killing or 
driving off all humans visible to them. Those attempting to kill 
SCP-053 will suffer massive heart attacks or seizures and die 
seconds after doing any physical damage to SCP-053. SCP-053 will 
regenerate almost instantaneously from any wound, regardless of 
severity. 


SCP-053 appears wholly ignorant of these effects, and ignores any 
and all subjects affected. When questioned about the effect, 
SCP-053 is incapable of response.

SCP-054: Water Nymph 


Item #: SCP-054 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Subject is held in a watertight 
isolation room outfitted with specialized climate control equipment. 
An ornate fountain filled with water stands in the center of the 
enclosure. Maintenance personnel are required to wear NBC suits 
while inside the containment area and must spend ten minutes in a 
special drying room after exiting. In the event of a breach, the 
surrounding area should be evacuated and the enclosure flushed 
with liquid nitrogen. 


The fountain's chemical levels and volume are to be monitored and 
maintained. Spring water from should be used as SCP-054 is 
highly sensitive to hydrological conditions. SCP-054 has developed 
a mistrust for human males during its confinement; thus, assignment 
of female personnel is recommended. 


Description: Out of the water, the subject most often appears as a 
female humanoid with a mean volume of 90 L comprised entirely of 
water (other forms are possible, commonly geometric shapes). 
When it enters a body of water, it becomes indistinguishable from its 
surroundings. The subject must periodically return to a body of water 
in order to maintain its volume due to evaporation. Initially found in 

, it was moved to Site-08 for further study. Subject was initially 
curious about Foundation personnel and seemed to enjoy 
interacting with maintenance staff and researchers, and mimicking 
their forms. After a number of weeks, the creature apparently felt 
comfortable enough to remain out of the water during routine 
monitoring, though it retreated when attempts were made to study 
its composition. 


SCP-054 is apparently composed of normal water, with no 
detectable differences compared to ordinary spring water from the 


same source. No thermal, electromagnetic, biological, or other 
phenomenon has ever been detected in its "body" that would 
suggest how it animates. Water lost by SCP-054 to evaporation 
exhibits no special properties when condensed. 


Experiments with SCP-054 were halted following [DATA 
EXPUNGED] two researchers injured. After this incident 
containment protocols were updated. Subject thereafter exhibited 
signs of mistrust and aggression around male personnel (which 
made up the majority of the original research staff). Subject 
reclassified Euclid. 


Partial transcripts, Audio Journal 054-A: 


Water loss experiment 

"Subject becomes withdrawn and inactive when denied 
access to water. Its compact shape is theorized to 
reduce surface area exposed to evaporation. For the first 
few days it moved eagerly to greet anyone entering its 
enclosure, and behaved excitably. Possibly indicates an 
understanding by the subject that we control its access 
to water supplies. Subject ceased this behavior 
yesterday, presumably in recognition that no help was 
forthcoming." 


Temperature extremes testing 

"We got authorization to attempt sub-zero testing this 
morning. The subject became lethargic as the 
temperature fell, and froze completely after 
Spectroscopy of the ice crystal revealed no 
abnormalities. Ice chips were collected for study. This is 
in stark contrast to its behavior in the 95 degree tests, 
when it became aggressive and attempted to escape its 
enclosure. We've submitted a work order to combine the 
climate control equipment with the subject's standard 
enclosure, as it has begun to resist efforts to transport it 
to experimental chambers with increasingly desperate 
behavior." 


Memory and conditioning evaluation 
"Subject has proven unexpectedly adept at navigating 


complex mazes and solving puzzles. Dr. Seskel has 
finally overcome the problem of 'motivating’ the subject 
by the application of electrical shocks and/or silica 
desiccants. He joked that we should have it trained to 
fetch in no time, and after observing his methods | think 
he might be right. Note: subject to be allowed a 48 hour 
recuperation period; it seemed to be lagging in its 
progress at the end of the week's experiments." 


Acid/base incorporation experiment [last log entry] 
"lam starting with a 0.5 M HCI solution. | have no idea 
what will happen, but if this thing incorporates 
homeostatic mechanisms like | suspect then we should 
get some insight into how it maintains its form. 
Temperature in the enclosure has been lowered to 278 K 
to help control fifty-four's increasingly erratic behavior." 


Addendum 054-B: After five years with no incidents, subject rating 
has been downgraded to "Safe" on recommendation of Dr. 
Experiments will resume under the auspices of biology unit E7. 
Caution should still be exercised when interacting with subject.

SCP-055: [unknown] 


Item #: SCP-055 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Object is kept within a five (5) 
by five (5) by two point five (2.5) meter square room constructed of 
cement (fifty (50) centimeter thickness), with a Faraday cage 
surrounding the cement walls. Access is via a heavy containment 
door measuring two (2) by two point five (2.5) meters constructed on 
bearings to ensure door closes and locks automatically unless held 
open deliberately. Security guards are NOT to be posted outside 
SCP-055's room. It is further advised that all personnel maintaining 
or studying other SCP objects in the vicinity try to maintain a 
distance of at least fifty (50) meters from the geometric center of the 
room, as long as this is reasonably practical. 


Description: SCP-055 is a "self-keeping secret" or "anti-meme". 
Information about SCP-055's physical appearance as well as its 
nature, behavior, and origins is self-classifying. To clarify: 


¢ How Site 19 originally acquired SCP-055 is unknown. 
¢ When SCP-055 was obtained, and by whom, is unknown. 


¢ SCP-055's physical appearance is unknown. It is not 
indescribable, or invisible: individuals are perfectly capable of 
entering SCP-055's container and observing it, taking mental 
or written notes, making sketches, taking photographs, and 
even making audio/video recordings. An extensive log of such 
observations is on file. However, information about SCP-055's 
physical appearance "leaks" out of a human mind soon after 
such an observation. Individuals tasked with describing 
SCP-055 afterwards find their minds wandering and lose 
interest in the task; individuals tasked with sketching a copy of 
a photograph of SCP-055 are unable to remember what the 


photograph looks like, as are researchers overseeing these 
tests. Security personnel who have observed SCP-055 via 
closed-circuit television cameras emerge after a full shift 
exhausted and effectively amnesiac about the events of the 
previous hours. 


¢ Who authorized the construction of SCP-055's containment 
room, why it was constructed in this way, or what the purpose 
of the described Containment Procedures may be, are all 
unknown. 


Despite SCP-055's container being easily accessible, all 
personnel at Site 19 claim no knowledge of SCP-055's 
existence when challenged. 


All of these facts are periodically rediscovered, usually by chance 
readers of this file, causing a great deal of alarm. This state of 
concern lasts minutes at most, before the matter is simply forgotten 
about. 


A great deal of scientific data has been recorded from SCP-055, but 
cannot be studied. 


At least one attempt has been made to destroy SCP-055, or 
possibly move it from containment at Site 19 to another site, meeting 
failure for reasons unknown. 


SCP-055 may present a major physical threat and indeed may have 
killed many hundreds of personnel, and we would not know it. 
Certainly it presents a gigantic memetic/mental threat, hence its 
Keter classification. 


Document #055-1: An Analysis of SCP-055 


The author puts forward the hypothesis that SCP-055 was never 
formally acquired by and is in fact an autonomous or 
remotely-controlled agent, inserted at Site 19 by an unidentified third 
party for one or all of the following purposes: 


* to silently observe, or interfere with, activities at Site 19 
* to silently observe, or interfere with, activities at other SCP 


locations 

* to silently observe, or interfere with, activities of humanity 
worldwide 

* to silently observe, or interfere with, other SCP objects 

¢ to silently observe, or interfere with, 


No action to counter any of these potential threats is suggested, or 
indeed theoretically possible. 


Addendum A: 


Hey, if this thing really is an "anti-meme", why doesn't 
the fact that it's an "anti-meme" get wiped? We must be 
wrong about that somehow. Wait a minute, what if we 
were to keep notes about what it isn't? Would we 
remember those? Bartholomew Hughes, NSA 


Document #055-2: Report of Dr. John Marachek 


Survey team #19-055-127BXE was successfully able to enter 
SCP-055's container and ascertain the appearance and, to some 
degree, the nature of the object. Notes were taken according to the 
project methodology (see ), after which the container was 
sealed again. 


Excerpt from a transcript of personnel debriefing follows: 


Dr. Hughes: Okay, I'm going to need to ask you some 
questions about number 55 now. 


: Number what? 


Dr. Hughes: SCP object 55. The object you just 
examined. 


: Um, | don't know what you're talking about. | don't 
think we have a 55. 


Dr. Hughes: Okay, then, , I'd like you to tell me what 
you've been doing for the past two hours. 


: What? I... <subject appears uncomfortable> ... | 


don't know. 


Dr. Hughes: Okay, then, do you remember that we all 
agreed that it wasn't spherical? 


: That what wasn't... Oh! Right! It isn't round at all! 
Object 55 isn't round! 


Dr. Hughes: So you remember it now? 


: Well, no. | mean, | don't Know what it is, but | Know 
there is one. It's something you can't remember. And it's 
not a sphere. 


Dr. Hughes: Wait a minute. What's not a sphere? 
: Object 55. 
Dr. Hughes: Object what? 


: Doc, do you remember agreeing that something 
wasn't shaped like a sphere? 


Dr. Hughes: Oh, right! 


It appears to be possible to remember what SCP-055 is not 
(negations of fact), and to repeatedly deduce its existence from 
these memories. 


Personnel involved in Survey #19-055-127BXE reported moderate 
levels of disorientation and psychological trauma associated with 
cycles of repeated memory and forgetfulness of SCP-055. However, 
no long-term behavioral or health problems were observed, and 
psych assessments of survey personnel showed consistent reports 
of this distress fading over time. 


Recommendations: It may be worthwhile to post at least one staff 
member capable of remembering the existence of SCP-055 to each 
Critical site.

SCP-056: A Beautiful Person 


Item #: SCP-056 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-056 is to be kept ina 
room of its choosing, with whatever furnishings it expresses desire 
for. Level 1 personnel and above may interact with SCP-056 at any 
time they choose, for a time length not exceeding two hours. The 
subject is to be guarded by a minimum of three (3) security staff at 
all times, with shift changes every four hours. Each guard is to be 
armed with non-lethal tranquilizer pistols, loaded with no less than 
fifteen hundred (1500) microliters of cyclopyrrolone tranquilizer. Any 
irregularities in personnel and staff developed by extended exposure 
to SCP-056 will result in psychological examination and relocation to 
site [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


The subject is to be allowed access to any object it desires, with the 
exceptions of weapons, communication devices, an internet 
connection, and other SCP objects. It may wander in Research 
Sector as it wills, but never allowed access to floors with exits. In 
the event of an emergency, or if SCP-056 becomes violent, it is to 
be subdued and contained within its room if possible. At no time 
should personnel attempt to harm SCP-056; see Addendum 2-b. 


Description: SCP-056 is a being of variable size, gender, and 
appearance, which changes in response to the environment around 
it, especially in regards to living and sentient beings. Its most 
common form is of a handsome man in his middle twenties, dressed 
in a garb of similar appearance to that of the personnel guarding it 
but of a higher quality and aesthetic value. However, it has been 
recorded as taking these forms: 


¢ A large, well groomed Labrador Retriever (when exposed to 
Doctor 's dog). 
* Awoman of similar appearance to famous actress Scarlett 


Johansson when passing by a group of younger female staff. 
¢ A female doctor in a white lab coat when speaking with 
various researchers. When asked to take an IQ test, the 
subject scored nearly thirty (30) points higher than the highest 
scoring researcher available. 

A male bodybuilder, who was able to lift nearly two-hundred 

and fifty (250) kilogrammes twice on a bench press machine 

in the Sector's gym. This was thirty (30) kilogrammes heavier 

than the strongest security guard's maximum at the time. 

¢ A couch of extremely pleasing aesthetic value (when left alone 
in the subject's room). 


These changes will generally occur the moment all people in the 
area lose focus on the subject, which occurs immediately upon 
exposure to a new object or person "(See Addendum 3)". Filming 
these changes has proved inconsequential, as any viewing the 
tapes or feed suffer the same momentary confusion. Clothing will 
also change during this time, though 056 has yet to manifest any 
sort of tools or weapons. 


It is theoretically impossible to view SCP-056's original or "natural" 
form. When left in an empty, concrete cell and under closed-loop 
video surveillance, it took on the form of a higher quality camera, 
and appeared to monitor the camera watching it. Further attempts to 
yield its natural form discovered that when alone, it had no readable 
life signs, including body temperature, heart beat, or weight. It is 
assumed by researchers that it could not exist without any sort of 
perception. 


Personnel in contact with the subject often report feeling "jealous" or 
"unsatisfied", yet will often give a great deal of both positive and 
negative attention to SCP-056, which can be predicted by their 
personality types. Security staff will often claim that they wish to 
follow the subject's commands, even if they dislike it or its current 
form, while researchers in extended contact with it will often try to 
argue and verbally abuse it, which usually results in the subject 
sending them out in shame. 


SCP-056 is quite capable of speech, and can apparently 
communicate in any language, verbal or not, and has shown fluency 
in over 200 dialects, including those invented by cryptographers and 


hobbyists. It frequently treats the staff around it with disdain, though 
is generally willing to do whatever is asked of it, so long as the 
inquiring does so in a submissive way. It expresses interest in 
magazines, fashion, automobiles, theoretical science, sports, and a 
multitude of other subjects, usually expressing greater knowledge 
and understanding of the topic than the person communicating with 
it. Personnel will generally become angry, disenchanted, or 
disgusted with SCP-056 after speaking with it for great lengths of 
time, though they will try to speak with it again if possible. When 
questioned about other SCPs, it showed fear and occasionally 
hatred, and refused to speak about any of them, even objects 
classified as Safe. 


Additional: Subject was found to be working for the clothing design 
company [REDACTED], after an unusual number of homicides, 
suicides, and mental breakdowns of other models when working 
around SCP-056. When Class E personnel attempted to detain it, 
their mannerisms provoked it to change into what appeared to be 
the form of [DATA EXPUNGED] resulting in the deaths of seventeen 
(17) agents and ten (10) civilians. The incident was covered up by 
claiming an employee suffering from psychopathy brought a firearm 
to work and attacked other workers.

approximately twenty years of age. Subject proceeded to 
disarm and kill personnel.) 

One (1) female Class D Personnel, bearing a bottle of fine 
wine. Intent: to offer subject gift. (Subject appeared as a 
beautiful woman, accepted the gift, and upon tasting, spit it 
back in the personnel's face before waving her away.) 

Two (2) Class D Personnel, both male and female, carrying 
nothing and intending nothing. (Subject appeared as a 
beautiful woman in a well-tailored business suit. Examined 
both personnel, then dismissed them.) 

Ten (10) Class D Personnel, all male, intending and carrying 
nothing. (Subject appeared as a beautiful woman, dressed in 
a low-cut red dress. After approximately ten minutes, all 
personnel began showing signs of irritation, and five minutes 
later broke out in fighting. Subject waved them away after 
watching them for seven minutes.) 

One (1) female Level 4 Personnel, voted to be best looking 
woman on facility. Carried nothing, intended nothing. (Subject 
appeared as an extremely aesthetically pleasing woman, and 
displayed a large lexicon and understanding of management 
skills. Spoke to personnel for nearly ninety minutes, until 
personnel became infuriated and left the room.) 


Addendum 3: Note from Doctor Kennith: 


| was recently informed that 056 has repeatedly requested access to 
the internet. When | asked 056 about this, it told me that we were 
"unable to provide [it] with enough sycophants", and that it "wanted 
the whole world to know [its] face." Needless to say, its request was 
denied.

SCP-057: The Daily Grind 


Item #: SCP-057 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Site-57 has been constructed 
to facilitate SCP-057 as relocation is not feasible. It is highly 
improbable that any outside knowledge of the artifact exists based 
on the circumstances of its discovery and thus security is of minimal 
concern. No containment procedures are required other than the 
prevention of unauthorized access. All research will be delegated to 
Dr. Lewis and Dr. Walston unless further specified. 


Due to the irretrievability of those placed inside SCP-057 access will 
be granted with the approval of no fewer than two (2) members of 
O5. 


Description: SCP-057 is a subterranean chamber with an 
approximate cylindrical height of three (3) meters and diameter of 
eighteen (18) meters. Artifact is comprised of impenetrable slate- 
coloured stone. Inside the chamber are dozens of parallelepiped 
monoliths extending from floor to ceiling that slide in various 
directions while SCP-057 is active. It was discovered several meters 
below on // during the construction of a secure containment 
enclosure for SCP- . Consequently, SCP- was assigned an 
alternate location at Site- . 


An entrance to the chamber is located on the north-east side. When 
a human enters, the door shuts and the walls inside the chamber 
move in such a way as to require the subject's constant attention to 
maintain a safe course through the artifact. The monoliths slowly 
open and close until the subject either surrenders or exhausts 
themselves, at which time SCP-057 crushes them and reverts to its 
original, inactive state after a period of approximately twenty (20) 
seconds. This process lasts only as long as the subject inside 
SCP-057 is alive and has proven to take days. Extended testing 


proposals to gauge the limits of the artifact have been discouraged. 
All tests on animals, machines, and cadavers have proven futile. 
Only a living, breathing human being is able to initiate this process 
upon entering SCP-057. 


+ Incident Report 057-1 


Incident 057-1: During the excavation of the artifact, a 
worker employed by the Foundation for the unearthing 
process entered the chamber without permission at 
roughly 12:57 AMon //_ .Uponentering the artifact 
the door shut and a dull rumble began to emanate from 
the chamber. Standard lockdown procedure was initiated 
and all personnel in the vicinity were evacuated. A 
Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) was deployed in order 
to safely determine the cause of the event and to gauge 
any possible threat of SCP-057. Aside from the rumbling 
noises produced during the event, no anomalous effects 
outside of the artifact were observed. At 4:32 AM of the 
following day, SCP-057 suddenly shut down and 
returned to its original state as the door shifted back into 
its open position. At 5:32 AM, the area was declared safe 
and the excavation process was completed without 
further incident. The worker in question was never 
recovered. 


+ Experiment Log 057-1 


Experiment Log 057-1: A controlled experiment for the 
purpose of exploring the interior of SCP-057 was 
requested by Drs. Lewis and Walstonon / / and 
approved shortly thereafter by O5 Council. D-1021 was 
equipped with a radio able to send and receive 
transmissions to and from the Drs. Upon entering the 
chamber the artifact behaved as expected with the door 
abruptly shutting behind D-1021. The following is a 
transcript of the communication between Dr. Lewis, Dr. 
Walston and D-1021. 


D-1021: Hey, you didn't tell me the door would 
close. Can you open it again? This place gives 


me the heebie-jeebies. 


Dr. Lewis: Negative, please proceed as 
advised and describe your surroundings. 


D-1021: Okay.. Well, there are a bunch of 
stone columns in here, and they keep 
rearranging their positions. I... 


Dr. Walston: D-1021? What is your status? 


D-1021: Damn column snuck up on me. 
They’re moving around, arranging themselves 
so they... [Pause] 


Dr. Walston: What is it? 


D-1021: The columns behind me are closing 
up. The ones ahead of me are spreading out... 
| don't like this. [Inaudible] can't see the door 
anymore. 


Dr. Lewis: Stay calm. Move with the columns 
and you'll be fine. 


D-1021: If | stand still, they'll crush me. | have 
to keep moving or they'll crush me. [Seventeen 
seconds of silence] How long am | gonna be in 
here? 


Dr. Walston: It'll be over soon, you're doing 
fine. Just keep moving. 


D-1021: But what if I’m trapped in here? I... 
[D-1021 begins to hyperventilate] I'm trapped 
and they're gonna crush me and- 


Dr. Lewis: D-1... Hey, listen! Get a hold of 
yourself. The columns will eventually lead you 
to an exit. Please relax and continue. 


[Subject calms down noticeably] 


D-1021: So there’s... an exit? Thank god. | 
was scared there for a second that I’d never 
[SUPERFLUOUS DIALOGUE EXPUNGED] 


Dr. Walston: Yep, keep it up and you'll be 
right as rain. You're doing a great job. You'll 
have no trouble making parole once this is 
over. 


[The experiment continues without incident for 
another forty-one (41) minutes. At this point, 
D-1021 becomes noticeably distressed again.] 


D-1021: | saw how big this place is from the 
outside. Am | going in a circle? 


Dr. Lewis: Negative. Continue to proceed 
through the opening columns. You should find 
the exit- 


D-1021: There is no fucking exit! You bastard 
sonsabitches trapped me in here and now I'm 
fucking... trapped! 


[Subject begins to hyperventilate again] 


Dr. Walston: You are not trapped, D-1021. 
Continue to the exit or you will be forced to- 


D-1021: Forced to what!? There's nothing you 
can do to me I'm gonna fucking die I'm gonna 
die- 


Dr. Lewis: D-1-0-2-1! Panicking will only 
exacerbate your situation. Focus! 


[D-1021 breaks into tears. He continues to cry 


for the next two (2) hours as he makes his way 
through the columns and does not reply to any 
questions. Eventually, the crying ceases] 


D-1021: So this is it. [Deep exhalation] I’m 
gonna die. | guess I'll just stop and close my 
eyes. Maybe it won’t be so bad. [Several 
minutes of silence] | can’t. | can’t. | can't, | 
can't. | can't. 


[D-1021 continues to repeat this for several 
minutes. Eventually he trails off and falls silent] 


Dr. Walston: D-1021? 


[D-1021 stops in his tracks, breathing slowly 
but heavily. Faint sobbing is audible] 


Dr. Walston: D-1021, proceed through the 
room as advised! 


D-1021: |. I... 


[D-1021’s gentle sobbing abruptly cuts off. 
Brief, loud cracking and snapping sounds are 
heard before the transmission is lost. 
Strangely, D-1021 did not report any sightings 
of the remains of the excavation worker lost in 
Event 057-1. Accordingly, no efforts were 
made for the recovery of D-1021’s remains. As 
a result of this inconclusive data, 
reclassification of SCP-057 to Euclid is 
pending.]

SCP-058: Heart of Darkness 


Item #: SCP-058 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-058 is to be kept in 
isolation ina 5 m by 5m by 5 m containment chamber at all times. 
Walls are to be constructed of 3 m (10 ft) of reinforced heat-resistant 
steel, backed with a further 10 m (33 ft) of reinforced concrete. 
SCP-058 is to be fed a live cow every three days. Maintenance is to 
be conducted every sixty (60) minutes while SCP-058 is dormant 
and every fifteen (15) minutes when SCP-058 is active. Under no 
circumstances is SCP-058 to be allowed out of its containment area. 
SCP-058 is to be audio recorded at all times. No personnel are to 
listen to SCP-058 for more than thirty (30) minutes at a time. In case 
of escape, facility is to be considered compromised and detonation 
of on-site nuclear weaponry is to commence. To date, SCP-058 has 
been responsible for the death of at least one hundred and forty- 
nine (149) Class-D personnel and fourteen (14) Agents at its current 
site. 


Description: SCP-058 resembles a bovine heart, with four (4) 
arthropod-like legs used primarily for movement, and four (4) 
tentacles of adjustable length, covered with razor sharp spines. It 
has a single sharp 'stinger' on its rear, where the hole for the 
superior vena cava would be in a typical organ. SCP-058's tentacles 
can be "whipped" to a distance of 3.2 m (10.5 ft) at speeds in excess 
of 320 km/h (200 mph). SCP-058 is extremely hostile and will use 
every opportunity afforded to it to inflict damage on its surroundings. 
SCP-058 has been shown to be highly resilient to trauma, and 
should be approached with caution even when apparently 
incapacitated. 


SCP-058 is highly mobile and capable of rapid movement on both 
horizontal and vertical surfaces. It has been recorded reaching a 
speed of approximately 90 km/h (55 mph) in short bursts, covering 


distances up to 200 m (656 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 
0 to 90 km/h (55 mph) in less than two (2) seconds. It has been 
shown to use its tentacles for increased leverage and stability, as 
well as utilizing them to pull itself to other surfaces at high speeds. 


SCP-058 ‘speaks’ in a human voice, though no method of producing 
sound has been observed in its physiology. It soeaks with vocal tone 
and accent of an elderly British male with a slight lisp and deep 
voice. SCP-058 talks constantly, regardless of conditions: even 
when attacking, SCP-058's voice and pace of speech are 
unchanged. The speech of SCP-058 lacks any detectable 
correlation to events, persons, or exterior locations involved with 
SCP-058 (see Transcript of Interview 058-04). 


Notes: 


SCP-058 was first encountered at Site as it came out of [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. SCP-058 was extremely hostile and appeared to be 
very agitated. Initially SCP-058 attacked Site , which resulted in the 
death of facultyand Agents. SCP-058 went on to attack the 
nearby town of , resulting in the death of over [REDACTED] 
citizens and the destruction of seventy percent (70%) of the 
surrounding buildings. 


Post-Breach analysis determined a majority of the deaths are 
attributable to fire and fire-related injuries, resulting from a 
widespread of "stinger fluid" by SCP-058 from a large structure. This 
is also blamed for a majority of structural damage. by 
SCP-058 accounts for only 8% of total deaths, with major evidence 
[DATA EXPUNGED] 


SCP-058 was finally contained after being crushed and 
incapacitated by a large amount of masonry from a building that had 
collapsed on top of it. SCP-058 was then extracted and transported 
to by Agents and MTF teams. SCP-058 was contained at 

for three weeks, during which it made minimal attempts to move, 
attributed both to physical damage and bloating from during 
the initial breach incident. Testing during this period was limited, with 
SCP-058 still maintaining a high threat level even in its impaired 
state. 


SCP-058 breached containment on / / during an attempted 
transfer to an SCP Containment Site, causing multiple deaths and 
injuries. SCP-058 was eventually incapacitated by Agent , who 
managed to subdue SCP-058 by running it over with an M1 tank, 
pinning it beneath the armored vehicle. SCP-058 was subsequently 
secured and transported to Armed Bio-Containment Area 14. 


Transcript of Interview 058-04: 


SCP-058: / had dreams of the queen wonders that lived 
inside the hearts of love and silent treatments of all the 
elderly that | knew were once whole. 


Dr Johnston: What is your name? 


SCP-058: / seek the revelations of all that the holy told to 
the unwise in the dreams of cold embers in sunlight that 

fade across lakes of black blood and snakes that eat the 

loaves of children from lamb trees in autumn. 


Dr Johnston: What is your name? 


SCP-058: Endless suffering is the woe of ignorant men 
who never lack to seek the depth of their own hearts and 
only see the wealth of a poor world suffering to flay its 
own back in knife wounds of silver and brutal gladness. 


Dr Johnston: Where are you from? 


SCP-058: The nightmare is a dream to the nameless 
slug that wanders across minefield and the remains of 
deer and kings. 


Personnel D-067: This is some creepy ass- (D-067 cuts 
off into screaming) 


SCP-058: Nightshade is shadows in all honest blinks 
that sort through the bile of newborn plagues, instant 
warmth is a mother's milk in dreams before anything was 
ever evil. 


Personnel D-067: (Continues screaming) 


Dr Johnston: Let him go! 


SCP-058: /n seconds the sun is beating like drums in all 
hearts eat the ear of noise. 


Personnel D-067: (Screaming is cut short abruptly) 


SCP-058: The sensual violence of lust is all the 
assurance you will ever need to know the worth of life.

SCP-059: Radioactive Mineral 


Item #: SCP-059 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: A single specimen of SCP-059 
is kept at Site-11B inside a graded-Z laminate shielding box 
composed of depleted uranium, tantalum, tin, steel, copper, and 
aluminum. Surrounding SCP-059’s containment box is a 7 x 7x 7m 
area sealed as a Level-4 Biohazard area, and surrounded by 3 cm 
of lead shielding. This area is to be sprayed daily with a solution of 
methyl isothiocyanate to prevent overgrowth of SCP-059-1. 


Personnel entering an SCP-059 affected area are cautioned to wear 
appropriate biohazard protection, as well as type K-59-B radiation 
shielding. They are to remain in the area for no more than 15 
minutes, as the radiation shielding is only partially effective. 


SCP-059-1 infestations found in the wild should be contained by 
removing the SCP-059 specimen responsible, and incineration of all 
observed SCP-059-1. Large underground infestations are best 
neutralized by fuel-air (thermobaric) explosives. 


Additional specimens of SCP-059 are not needed for 
experimentation, and should be transported to Site-11B for 
incineration by plasma arc at 10,000 Kelvin. 


Description: SCP-059 is a radioactive mineral of unknown origin, 
superficially resembling scheelite. A component of SCP-059 is 
believed to originate in an alternate universe, and to be responsible 
for its anomalous properties. In addition to alpha, beta, and gamma 
radiation, SCP-059 specimens produce a previously unknown type 
of radiation, apparently unique to the object, tentatively designated 
‘delta radiation’. Delta radiation is accompanied by Cherenkov 
radiation, visible as a blue glow. 


Delta radiation is only partially contained by standard radiation 
shielding; the best results have been obtained using graded-Z 
laminate shielding with an additional super-dense metal layer. This 
reduces the effective range of delta radiation from approximately 
20 m to approximately 6 m. 


When an area is exposed to delta radiation for more than 15 
minutes, an unknown species of fungus (designated SCP-059-1) 
begins to grow on any exposed surface. This fungus does not 
require any standard nutrition, but will die within 24 hours of removal 
from a delta radiation source. SCP-059-1 is itself radioactive, but 
does not emit delta radiation. However, if a critical mass 
(approximately kg/m3) of SCP-059-1 is allowed to grow, delta 
radiation from an unknown source other than SCP-059 will appear in 
the area, further supporting SCP-059-1 growth. (Interested readers 
may consult Dr. for his theories of space-time stress and 
merger of alternate realities). Within 18 hours, the infected mass will 
become transparent and disappear, presumably into the universe 
that is the source of delta radiation. The process then continues with 
SCP-059-1 infecting new material. 


SCP-059-1 will infest both living beings and inanimate objects. 
Humans (and animals) infected with SCP-059-1 become immune to 
the effects of ionizing radiation, but progressively merge with 
SCP-059-1, and eventually have all tissues replaced by fungal 
growth. While generally non-violent, they will attempt to expose 
unaffected individuals to SCP-059. SCP-059-1 infections do not 
appear to be directly contagious, but only spread by contact with 
delta radiation. However, long-term exposure to SCP-059-1 has not 
been adequately tested to rule out considering it a biohazard (as 
well as a known radiation hazard). 


Infected individuals still capable of communication describe seeing a 
world entirely covered with SCP-059-1, where much of the surface is 
composed of SCP-059. It is unclear whether this is a hallucination or 
a view into the source of SCP-059. Infectees are generally pleased 
with their condition and often refer to being in "the blue light of 
heaven." 


SCP-059-1 is affected by most fungicides, but new growth will 
continue as long as SCP-059 is present. Early stage SCP-059-1 


infection in humans may be treated with griseofulvin, however the 
treatment is 90% likely to lead to death by radiation poisoning. 
Treated individuals lose their immunity to radiation, and will already 
have absorbed a now lethal dose prior to treatment. Late stage 
treatment should not be attempted, as too much tissue will already 
be converted to SCP-059-1. [DATA EXPUNGED]. The remains of 
failed treatments should be kept out of range of SCP-059, otherwise 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. 


SCP-059 specimens have been discovered in 8 different 
underground locations, across a range of 5000 km. No pattern has 
emerged for their appearance. Specimens range from 1-10 kg in 
size, and are not part of the normal rock formations in the areas 
where they have been found. 


Addendum: Dr. has recorded and analyzed the patterns of 
radiation emitted by the contained SCP-059-1 colony, and believes 
SCP-059-1 may be sapient and attempting to communicate via 
controlled emissions of radiation. Initial attempts to analyze this 
"language" reveal [DATA EXPUNGED].

SCP-060: Infernal Occult Skeleton 


Item #: SCP-060 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: The grove which contains 
SCP-060 is currently contained in a series of specially-constructed 
greenhouses at Satellite-Site 66-060. Specimens are to be pruned 
regularly to keep at a manageable size. 


Personnel are banned from smoking while within 5km of Satellite- 
Site 66-060. Personnel are to refrain from bringing lighters, matches, 
tasers, or any other tool readily capable of starting a fire into 
Satellite-Site 66-060. 


SCP-060 specimens are to be watered twice daily and checked 
weekly for dead plant matter and saplings. Dead matter and 
saplings are to be pruned, shredded and composted properly in the 
dedicated facility onsite, afterwards returned to SCP-060's 
containment chamber. Fragments of SCP-060 may not be moved 
offsite for any reason without explicit written permission from two or 
more Level 4 personnel. 


In the event of a breach by SCP-060-Alpha, personnel are to enter 
lockdown mode and activate onsite fire suppression systems. 
Redundant onsite fire suppression systems have been installed 
throughout the Site, including water and chemical retardants to be 
utilized in tandem in the event of a containment breach. Portable 
extinguishers are to be kept available at all times. 


Containment-Chamber 060-Alpha-001 is a dedicated, circular 
containment chamber designed to contain SCP-060-Alpha during 
testing. This chamber is constructed of concrete with a .2 metre 
thick asbestos coating, with a series of chimneys to allow for 
ventilation of heat during containment. The walls are fitted with 24 
CO2 projectors evenly spaced at 45° angles along the walls and will 


activate in the presence of temperatures exceeding 200C°. One 
kilogram of SCP-060 material is to be kept within Containment- 
Chamber 060-Alpha-001 to be burned in the event of a breach. 


Description: SCP-060 is a grove of seventeen white oak trees 
(Quercus alba). The grove is spread across approximately 8 acres in 
rural northeastern Minnesota. A house on the property was 
demolished during the construction of Satellite-Site 66-060 after 
being combed by Foundation personnel for information regarding 
SCP-060. See addendum. 


When burned, SCP-060 will produce an entity henceforth 
designated SCP-060-Alpha. SCP-060-Alpha appears to be an 
animate adult human skeleton standing approximately 2.3 metres 
tall and surrounded by bright white flames. SCP-060-Alpha initially 
burns at a temperature of approximately 1500°C (~2730°F) and will 
attempt to cause as much damage as possible when active. Burning 
as little as 20g of SCP-060 will cause SCP-060-Alpha to appear. 
Only one instance of SCP-060-Alpha will appear at any time; it is 
theorized that 060-Alpha is a unique entity. 


SCP-060-Alpha is extremely dangerous, having proven to be hostile 
and relatively intelligent. It appears to be a single recurring entity, 
showing a growing familiarity with Satellite-Site 66-060's layout over 
the course of several manifestations. When given the opportunity, it 
will throw itself bodily at flammable materials in an effort to cause 
damage, and assault personnel with a focus on grappling and 
strangulation. Additionally, it has proven capable of running at 
speeds of up to 80 km/h (50 mph) in short bursts and leaping 
approximately 5 metres from a running start. Due to the extreme 
temperatures produced by 060-Alpha during the initial stages of 
manifestation, along with its physical capabilities, it is capable of 
causing large, uncontrolled fires and widespread property damage if 
left unchecked. SCP-060-Alpha appears to intentionally avoid 
burning instances of SCP-060 when it becomes active. 


If SCP-060-Alpha is introduced to a high enough volume of water or 
other flame-retardant material over a short amount of time, it will 
begin to weaken to the point that it will collapse into dust. Collapse 
will occur suddenly with little warning; SCP-060-Alpha will continue 
to pose a threat up until its collapse. The volume of suppressive 


material required to subdue SCP-060-Alpha is markedly less than 
would be expected to quench a heat source of its intensity, with 
volumes of approximately 500 litres proving sufficient. 


Areas burned by SCP-060-Alpha will begin to yield sapling instances 
of SCP-060 over the following four to six weeks. Only one wave of 
sapling growth will follow any given containment breach. Said 
saplings are easily pulled and should be composted and supplied to 
SCP-060’s normal containment chambers. 


Additional Information Regarding 060: The property containing 
SCP-060 contained a burned out, secluded house upon Foundation 
acquisition. According to civilian sources, the house's previous 
owner was a Johnathan Corhill, who is reported to have been a 
somewhat solitary eccentric, with a tendency towards bitterness and 
nihilism. Mr Corhill was reported as a missing person in late 1996, 
several months after having suddenly cut off all ties to family 
members and friends. 


The last person to have had contact with Johnathan Corhill was his 
brother Christopher via a telephone call. According to his brother, 
Corhill had developed an interest in the study of Victorian-era 
occultism. Furthermore, he reported that Johnathan Cornhill had 
seemed normal up until the phone call, at which point he told 
Christopher never to contact him again. Later in the year, a mail 
carrier visited the home to deliver a notice of foreclosure, finding it 
instead as a burned out shell. Examination showed that the fire 
began in the living room in the general vicinity of the fireplace; it is 
now assumed that SCP-060-Alpha manifested within the house 
while Corhill burned SCP-060 in the fireplace. Considering 
SCP-060-Alpha’s nature, why the house was not entirely destroyed 
during this alleged manifestation is as of yet unknown. No human 
remains were found within the structure. 


Johnathan Corhill’s whereabouts, and whether he is dead or alive, 
are currently unknown.

SCP-061: Auditory Mind Control 


Item #: SCP-061 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The source code for SCP-061 
is to be kept on a standard archival-quality read-only data compact 
disc (CD-ROM); four copies of the CD-ROM with the source code 
are to be stored in separate maximum-security inanimate-object 
lockers. Except for purposes of approved experimentation, SCP-061 
is not to be loaded, compiled, or run. Research proposals for 
SCP-061 require written approval from site command. Only one 
copy of the CD-ROM containing the source code for SCP-061 may 
be used at a time; the CD-ROM is to be returned to storage 
immediately after having been used to load the source code for 
SCP-061 to a device. 


SCP-061 must never be loaded, compiled, or run on any device 
which has a connection to the Internet, either directly or via another 
device. SCP-061 must never be loaded, compiled, or run on any 
device which is physically capable of wireless connectivity, 
regardless of whether that connectivity is in use. 


For purposes of approved experimentation, SCP-061 may be 
loaded, compiled, and run on a LAN consisting of no more than 3 
(three) devices plus peripherals. No devices are to be disconnected 
from the LAN during experimentation. Following the conclusion of 
experimentation, all devices within this LAN are to be immediately 
reformatted. Audio-output peripherals for this LAN are to be 
contained within an observation chamber surrounded with noise- 
canceling vacuum insulation. In the event of a perimeter breach by 
hostiles during SCP-061 experimentation, all devices within the LAN 
are to be immediately destroyed. 


Description: SCP-061 is an acoustic computer program being 
developed by SCP researchers with the intent of producing 


successful countermeasures to similar programs being developed 
by governments and individuals around the world. Inspired by 
research on [DATA EXPUNGED], SCP Command saw both the 
potential and harm in the ability to control the brain functions of other 
human beings. Laymen understand that music can elicit certain 
emotions and memories or various sounds can elicit fear and 
excitement by simply being heard. Governments around the world 
have been attempting to expand on that premise for decades; SCP 
Research is the first to elicit responses on higher mental activities. 


Parts of the brain affected by SCP-061 differ from those stimulated 
by [DATA EXPUNGED] or by subliminal messaging. Instead of 
acting on parts of the brain that are thought to be in control of the 
subconscious, acoustic frequencies produced by SCP-061 intercept 
conscious thoughts as they are produced and replace them. Instead 
of a suggestion, the human hearing center bisects the conscious 
thinking mind of the frontal lobe with the motor control cortical 
homunculus of the brain. 


A baseline rhythm "convinces" the rest of the brain that the 
conscious mind is "asleep" and effectively stops conscious thought 
from continuing to the rest of the brain. In return, the frontal lobe 
experiences a "pause" that resembles the psychological effects of 
anesthesia. Acoustic codes developed by SCP-061 are interpreted 
by motor centers in the brain as conscious instructions and the 
subject typically acts accordingly. (See Addendum-01) 


Subjects will normally have a "blank" facial expression while under 
the influence of SCP-061. They are not responsive to attempts at 
conversation and express no desires, such as hunger or interest in 
sexual advances. Though all commands are followed without 
question, the effects of the auditory control cease once the subject is 
no longer able to hear the program. Most test subjects report being 
unable to remember the actions they performed while under control, 
but a few have experienced the effect of "watching helplessly" as 
their body acted against their will. 


The intent of such research is to discover ways to counteract the 
effects of auditory mind control; however, only two methods of 
countermeasures have proven successful as of yet. One, the 
subject's hearing is impaired so that the individual can no longer 


hear the program, either by covering the ear or deafening the 
subject. Two, the program itself sends a coded instruction to the 
hearing center of the brain, permanently shutting it down. Though 
the ear continues to hear, there has been no progress in finding the 
proper code to "reboot" the hearing center of the brain. 


Addendum-01: All subjects are placed under auditory control, 
issued a coded auditory command and then monitored. 


¢ Subject— 4402F 


© Command: [Sleep] 

© Response: Subject curled up into a fetal position on the 
floor and her brain began emitting alpha waves 
associated with sleep. Her eyes remained wide open in 
the typical "blank/empty" expression associated with 
controlled subjects, but her eyes twitched rapidly in 
ways associated with REM sleep. 


¢ Subject— 4427M 


© Command: [Run on treadmill] 

© Response: Subject mounted treadmill and then 
proceeded to run. Subject did not turn on the treadmill 
resulting in the subject impacting the control platform. 
Subject repeated this until the [Stop] command was 
issued. Note: more detailed commands are advised for 
task oriented commands. 


¢ Subject— 4427M 


© Command: [Turn treadmill on; Run on treadmill] 

© Response: Subjected turned on treadmill to the 
maximum speed, mounted and attempted to run before 
being ejected off the conveyor belt. Subject repeatedly 
attempted to turn on the treadmill to a random speed 
and run on it with various outcomes. Note: more 
detailed commands are advised for task oriented 
commands. 


¢ Subject— 4427M 


© Command: [Turn on treadmill to jogging speed; Jog on 
treadmill] 

© Response: Subject successfully jogged on treadmill until 
[Stop] command was issued, which resulted in subject 
being ejected off the conveyor belt. Note: Subjects 
should be in a safe neutral position before [Stop] 
commands are issued.

SCP-062: "Quantum" Computer 


Item #: SCP-062 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-062 is stored ina 
dedicated containment cell at Site under clean room conditions. 
Any experimentation on SCP-062 must receive prior permission 
from at least two (2) Level 3 Personnel, and must only be performed 
with independent power sources. SCP-062 must never be attached 
to an external network, and all data extracted from SCP-062 is to be 
stored on external nonvolatile media until analyzed. 


Description: SCP-062 appears to be an unbranded personal 
desktop computer housed in an aluminum case of indeterminate 
manufacture. SCP-062 is unusually heavy at approximately 24kg, 
and lacks manufacturing or branding labels of any kind. The words 
"infomation is freedom [sic]" were found scratched into the casing 
near the back, apparently with a key or similar object. 


Inspection of its interior has revealed that SCP-062 is empty except 
for a blank circuit board in place of where the motherboard of a 
standard personal computer would be. SCP-062 will not function 
unless the case is completely sealed, and attempts to open the case 
while it is operating cause it to shut down immediately. Despite this, 
SCP-062 operates as expected for a normal desktop computer with 
the exception that its performance, operating system, contained 
data, and language appears to be different upon every activation. 


SCP-062 was discovered in the basement of the University of 
Computer Science Laboratory by [REDACTED]. An embedded 
Foundation agent seized the object and brought it to Site, where it 
has since been contained. 


Addendum 062-001: List of Notable Activation Results 


Date: / / 

Description: SCP-062 appeared to be running Windows XP in 
Catalan. Analysis of contained data showed financial records for the 
[REDACTED] banking firm in France for the period of May, 1963 to 
April, 1987. These records are inconsistent with actual bank records 
procured by undercover Foundation agents. 


Date: // 

Description: SCP-062 appeared to be running Debian Linux in 
Latin. Contained data consisted of a library of audio recordings of 
over , choral songs and hymns, of which are not found in any 
known collection, or have never been performed. 


Date: / / 

Description: SCP-062 appeared to be running a version of Solaris 
in Portuguese. Contained data consisted of promotional and 
marketing material for [REDACTED], which appears to be a 
commercial space flight corporation that does not exist. 


Date: / / 

Description: SCP-062 appeared to be running an unknown 
operating system visually similar to OS/2, with an unknown 
language, later identified to have strong similarities to that of the 
Voynich Manuscript. Attempts at deciphering the contained data are 
ongoing. 


Date: / / 

Description: SCP-062 appeared to be running [REDACTED] in 
French. Contained data confirmed to be that of a standard 
Foundation workstation, though the site indicated by its location 
data, Site , does not exist. Investigation is ongoing. 


Date: // 

Description: SCP-062 appeared to be running Apple OS X in what 
appears to be Akkadian cuneiform script. Contained data appears to 
be composed mainly of religious text and descriptions of ritual and 
ceremonial procedures. 


Date: // 
Description: [REDACTED]. Investigation is ongoing as to how the 
virus managed to compromise 3 workstations and one file server 


before SCP-062 was forcibly shut down. All affected workstations 
have been isolated.

SCP-063: "The World's Best TothBrush" 


Item #: SCP-063 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-063 is to be kept at all 
times within Dr. _'s personal bathroom, located within the 
personnel quarters upon Site 19. Object is to be used as designed 
at least once in a twenty-four (24) hour period or the object will begin 
to emit an unknown specialized radiation that results in objects and 
material within a 0.6 m (2 ft) radius being slowly warped and 
eventually disintegrating into a fine dust. Radiation's effect on living 
test subjects has not been monitored. 


Description: SCP-063 appears to be an average, pale blue 
toothbrush. Stenciled along the side of the object are the words “The 
World's Best TothBrush [sic]’. The word "toothbrush" is spelled 
incorrectly, though whether this was accidental or a purposeful 
action by the creators of the object is unknown. SCP-063 displays 
the ability to effortlessly cleave through any and all dead or inorganic 
matter, the focal point of this ability being the bristles. However, 
matter touched by the bristles is not separated, such as by way of a 
knife, but completely expunged from existence, leaving no trace 
whatsoever. This mode of operation is reminiscent of SCP-2207, 
suggesting the two anomalies share a connection or were created 
by the same entity or entities. Additionally, subjects who have used 
SCP-063 have claimed that the experience left their teeth feeling 
remarkably clean. In spite of its extraordinary abilities, lab analysis 
has discerned that SCP-063 is completely made of common plastic. 


Addendum: SCP-063 was originally found in St. Petersburg, on the 
person of , a thief working in the area using SCP-063's abilities 
to crack safes. When questioned about the object, subject professed 
ignorance, claiming that he simply “found” the object one day. 
Questioning of the subject continued, until he took his own life. His 
reason for doing this is, as of yet, unknown. 


« SCP-062 | SCP-063 | SCP-064 » 


SCP-064: Flawed von Neumann Structure 


Item #: SCP-064 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-064 is to be kept ina 
suitably remote area for observation. Current goals are to generate 
a geometric model of the object's behavioral pattern and to observe 
any changes in this pattern due to location and soil composition. 
Certain sites in the Gobi Desert and Australian Outback, as well as a 
number of salt flats scattered around the globe, are under 
consideration for future testing. SCP-064's current location is 
classified to all personnel under security clearance Level 3. Once 
growth has stopped, field teams are to document the structure's 
size, shape and composition and remove the object for transport to 
a new site. 


Description: SCP-064 is a light brown earthenware brick composed 
primarily of silicon oxides and some organic matter. The object 
weighs 1.6 kg and measures some 10 cm x 6 cm x 20 cm. Its 
surface is smooth and flat, with some minor cosmetic chips. By and 
large, the object is visually similar to most solid bricks used in 
construction. 


When left lying on a flat expanse of soft earth, SCP-064 will begin to 
multiply through an unknown mechanism. Close observation reveals 
the appearance of an irregular lattice of silicon fibers in the shape of 
the original object, which then fills and solidifies with a soil-based 
mixture until it attains the proper mass. This process may be similar 
to mycelial propagation in fungi, with microscopic root structures 
‘mining’ minerals from soil in the immediate vicinity. Under optimal 
conditions (soil composition at roughly 90% silicon dioxide [SiO¢]), it 
takes approximately seventy minutes for one complete brick to 
appear. 


Given a large expanse of earth to work with, SCP-064 produces a 


highly complex but theoretically stable freestanding brick structure, 
including floors and ceilings. Past observations indicate that the 
structure could attain the shape of a twelve-pointed star, over 10km 
in diameter and of considerable height. However, this is speculative, 
as growth stops permanenily once the structure contacts a 
significant obstacle, observed to include any solid object over 10 kg 
in mass. Structural integrity is very high, as bricks orient themselves 
to be as level as possible and fit together almost perfectly. 
Interestingly, the structure's growth is tailored to a specific set of 
cardinal directions, with SCP-064 always being the northernmost 
brick on the lowest level. 


SCP-064 must be attached for growth to occur. Once SCP-064 is 
removed, the structure begins to decay, and all secondary bricks 
crumble to dust at a rate roughly equal to their rate of appearance. 
Replacing the object within twenty minutes halts this decay and 
allows growth to continue; past this threshold, the process is 
irreversible. 


SCP-064 was found by chance in April of 20 . During satellite 
observation of an elevated plateau in the Andes mountains, a 
camera operator noted that one structure was apparently growing. 
Extrapolating the object's approximate location from the structure's 
apparent direction of growth (which stopped during recovery), field 
teams located the object by differences in color between SCP-064 
and its secondary bricks, which were high in iron oxides from the 
local soil. A full excavation of the original site is underway in order to 
ascertain the object's cultural and technological origins.

SCP-065: Destroyed Organic Catalyst 


Item #: SCP-065 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-065 cannot be moved, 
it has been contained on-site and Site has been established 
around it. Site has been marked as a government research facility 
off limits to civilians, and unauthorized individuals attempting to gain 
access to the area are to be detained, questioned, and administered 
a Class A amnestic if deemed necessary by site security. 


An area 17 min radius around the center of SCP-065 has been 
designated the Red Zone. Personnel may not enter the Red Zone of 
SCP-065 at any time, and experimentation with SCP-065 may only 
be performed with prior approval from at least two (2) Level 3 senior 
research staff. Personnel at high risk of cancer must not be 
assigned to Site , andall Site personnel must undergo mandatory 
monthly physical evaluations including cancer screenings. 


Description: SCP-065 is a spherical region of space approximately 
12 min radius located on a farm near [REDACTED]. SCP-065 was 
formed by the destruction of an anomalous artifact on-site by the 
Global Occult Coalition on // ; immediately following this initial 
event, the radius of SCP-065 was estimated to have initially 
expanded to 108 m in radius, resulting in the deaths of eleven (11) 
GOC operatives and five (5) civilians. Since containment by the 
Foundation, the effective radius of SCP-065 has shrunk to and 
remained stable at its current size. 


SCP-065 causes abnormal transfiguration of any living organism 
within its area of effect. These effects include but are not limited to: 


¢ Regression of specialized cells to an undifferentiated stem 
state. 
¢ Spontaneous separation and fusion of undifferentiated cells. 


¢ Spontaneous necrosis of living tissue and reanimation of dead 
tissue. 
¢ Rapid genetic mutation of living tissue. 


These effects occur at a rate proportional to the mass and 
complexity of the organism: plants and insects show few if any 
effects, small animals will exhibit alterations following several days 
of exposure, larger animals will show harmful mutations within 
hours, and all human subjects exposed to the Red Zone have been 
fatally altered within approximately fifteen (15) minutes of exposure. 


To date, all attempts at directly observing the center of SCP-065 
have failed, as SCP-065 causes a form of extreme sensory 
confusion in all observers that extends to recording equipment. 
Affected personnel have reported highly distorted vision and hearing 
that persists for several hours and can result in severe dizziness and 
nausea. 


Addendum 065-1: Researcher Note 


On / / , arobotic rover designed to use somatosensory 
rather than visual or acoustic navigation managed to 
reach the center of SCP-065 and retrieve several 
objects. When pieced back together, these objects 
appear to be the shattered fragments of a stone figurine 
of Kokopelli, a Native American fertility deity. 


Along with pre-incident data obtained from the Global 
Occult Coalition, it appears that this artifact had been 
used by the civilian family to boost the yield of their farm 
and only came to the attention of the GOC when an 
investigation by the United States Department of 
Agriculture revealed genetic markers in their supposed 
organic crops consistent with those of genetically 
modified organism (GMO) crops. The GOC attempted an 
on-site destruction of this artifact, resulting in the creation 
of SCP-065; following this incident, the GOC contacted a 
Foundation liaison and requested assistance in 
containing the resultant anomaly. 


— Dr. 


Addendum 065-2: Attached Document 


The following document was recovered from the formerly civilian- 
owned farm house at Site 


John, 


| heard things aren't going so well back at home. | wish | 
could come back and help right now, but it's tough over 
here right now as well and we're on the verge of some 
important discoveries. 


| know it's not much, but | found this during the trip. The 

man who gave it to me described it as, "a representation 
of that which is and that which might be". Plant it by the 

corn field, and hopefully it will help make ends meet.

SCP-066: Eric's Toy 


Item #: SCP-066 
Object Class: Safe-prodest Euclid-impetus 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-066 is to be kept ina 
safe-deposit box at Site 21. Personnel Level 2 or higher may 
perform experiments on SCP-066 after filing the relevant request 
forms. Researchers may log their results in Experiment Log 066- 
Beta. 


SCP-066 is to be kept in a tungsten carbide box in Site 21’s high- 
value item storage facility. Once every month, this box must be 
manually inspected for damage to the interior;! if damage is present, 
SCP-066 must be moved to a new box. This task is performed via a 
robotic arm capable of performing the task in under three seconds. 


Description: SCP-066 is an amorphous mass of braided yarn and 
ribbon weighing approximately one kilogram. Strands of SCP-066 
may be taken individually and manipulated; when this is done, a 
note on the diatonic scale (C-D-E-F-G-A-B) is produced by the 
object. 


When a set of six or more notes are produced, SCP-066 will 
produce a benign effect of varying nature and duration. SCP-066 will 
not respond to manipulation while any effect produced by it is in 
progress. Prior to Incident 066-2, results have included: 


* SCP-066 transformed into a small calico kitten for seventeen 
minutes. The kitten exhibited significant friendliness and 
playfulness, and appeared to be declawed. 

* Asong lasting four minutes, acoustic guitar with vocal 
accompaniment by singer/songwriter [REDACTED]. The lyrics 
warned the listener not to use sharp objects without parental 
supervision. 

« Asmall cupcake, chocolate with chocolate frosting and a lit 


candle stuck in the top. Notably, the tones produced prior to 
this effect corresponded to the opening notes of “Happy 
Birthday”. SCP-066 became responsive after said cupcake 
was consumed. 


Incident 066-2: On April 18, 2008, D-066-4437 was instructed to 
use a pair of scissors to remove a portion of SCP-066 for testing. 
However, when he began to cut it, SCP-066 rolled one meter away 
from him before stopping and making an unidentified squeaking 
sound. Before he could be provided with further instruction, 
D-066-4437 attempted to cut it again; SCP-066 rolled away and 
produced the phrase “Are you Eric?” in response. After D-066-4437 
replied in the negative, SCP-066 morphed into its present state (see 
file photo) and began emitting loud, dissonant staccato notes until 
D-066-4437 was escorted from the room. 


After Incident 066-2, SCP-066 began to exhibit behavior highly 
inconsistent with its previous properties. SCP-066 now displays 
significant mobility, primarily in the form of being able to move 
tentacular portions of itself at very high speed. While SCP-066 is 
either unable or unwilling to use this ability for transportation, it will 
occasionally attempt to damage its containment by rubbing its 
strands against the side of the box, gradually wearing it down. This 
process appears to be unusually effective for the materials in 
consideration. 


Additionally, SCP-066 will automatically produce notes and effects in 
the presence of any human, regardless of whether that human 
interacts with SCP-066. This process takes a minimum of six 
seconds. In the aftermath of Incident 066-2, effects produced by 
SCP-066 have included: 


* Asingle bee was released near the containment, stinging 
D-4436 before flying away. The bee was not captured. It is 
unknown how the bee survived. 

¢« Beethoven’s second symphony was played at over 140 
decibels, causing permanent deafness in three personnel and 
permanent hearing damage in eight others. 

¢ The room containing SCP-066 experienced a sudden and 
complete absence of light for five hours. Personnel in the 
room reported hearing loud breathing behind their shoulders, 


although no source was apparent. 


When it is not producing anomalous effects, SCP-066 will say the 
name “Eric” constantly in a deep masculine voice.

SCP-067: The Artist's Pen 


A close up of the nib of SCP-067 


Item #: SCP-067 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: When not in use or the subject 
of study, SCP-067 is to be stored in its felt-lined wooden box. The 
nib is to be corked, and all art and writings are to be submitted to 
SCP Research command for analysis and further experimentation. 


Description: SCP-067 is a fountain pen made by a German supply 
company called Pelikan at some point between World War | and Il. It 
is pale green in color, with a single red line going straight down 
along the side. The shell is oak and the nib is extremely sharp, 
capable of piercing human skin if pressed even lightly. Though it 
apparently lacks a reservoir, the nib never appears to run out of 
fresh ink. In addition, the pen writes in lron Gall ink, which is suitable 
for artists but would normally corrode typical fountain pens quickly. 


Research has surmised that any subject holding SCP-067 loses all 
autonomy of the hand and arm that grasps it. Full sensation is intact, 
but the arm below the elbow is controlled by unknown forces, 
theoretically centralized within SCP-067. One effect is that the 
"controlled" hand will start to use the pen to write a detailed 
biography of the individual holding the pen. The biography will 
include such information as the person's name, age, date of birth, 
criminal record, fears, etc. Other times the pen has been known to 
write such things as an occurrence that happened in the person's 
lifetime. For example, when Test Subject 1204M held SCP-067, he 
began to write a detailed record of a motor vehicle accident he had 
been in the year before. Later, the subject admitted that many 
details penned in the account were not readily available to him at 
present time (i.e. the subject had forgotten many elements present 
in the written work, including his previous car's license plate number, 


the other vehicle's color, and so on). The subject stated that his 
memory of the event was so fresh in his mind during the 
transcription that he "could taste the blood in his mouth." 


Subjects holding SCP-067 have also been known to create intricate 
works of art, despite the subject lacking any formal art training or 
previous tendencies toward drawing. For example, Test Subject 
1102F, a young woman with no previous artistic experience, was 
able to draw a winged creature resembling SCP-__, described by 
researchers present as [DATA EXPUNGED]. When subjects are 
asked to explain what happens when they hold SCP-067, the typical 
response is that the subject freely relinquishes control of their 
appendage to SCP-067 so that it may complete its work unimpeded 
(see Quoted Response-01). Despite being instructed to not draw or 
write, subjects describe feelings of empathy, admiration, and 
cooperation with SCP-067 that coerces them toward a will not their 
own. 


Quoted Response-01: "| don't really know how to explain it, it just 
kind of happened. When | picked up the pen, it seemed as if my 
hand wasn't my own anymore. | knew | could move it if | wanted to, 
but | chose not to because | loved the picture | was drawing. It was 
like my hand had life. Suddenly, my hand stopped and | realized | 
had complete control over my hand again, and | put the pen back 
down. | looked at the drawing and saw how beautiful it was. | guess 
the pen decided it was done, and was finished with me." 


Tests and Experiments 
On / /20 , atest was done to see how the pen affected living 
creatures other than humans. 


Experiment 001: 

The test subject, a male rhesus macaque aged 2 years 4 months 
who had previously learned how to use pens and markers, was 
placed in a standard psychological surveillance room (neutral wall 
coloration; one-way observation mirrors), with SCP-067, a work 
table, and a pad of paper. 


Subject picked up SCP-067 in his left foot, then took it in his right 
hand, then tasted it. Subject then put the pen down on the paper 
and smelled it. After 30 seconds, subject picked up SCP-067 again, 


and began tapping it repeatedly on the table. Subject also began 
tapping SCP-067 on his own body. Subject tapped SCP-067 with 
increasing force, until ink was being splattered on his fur. Subject 
then threw SCP-067 onto the floor (subsequent mechanical analysis 
revealed no damage). 


At this point, subject tore a page from the pad of paper, and began 
rubbing it on the ink in his fur. This continued for 3 minutes, after 
which subject clutched the page in his teeth and leaped from the 
work table onto the ledge of the observation mirror (with such force 
that the table was knocked over). Subject began smearing the ink 
from the paper onto the observation mirror, while making repeated 
vocalizations; subsequent analysis revealed that 50% of 
vocalizations were consistent with the typical distress vocalizations 
of the rhesus macaque, and 50% were unfamiliar. 


After 6 minutes of smearing ink on the observation mirror, subject 
began tearing at the page with his teeth and claws, but dropped it 
before destroying more than 20% of the paper. Subject then 
collapsed on floor, breathing rapidly and repeating the unfamiliar, 
atypical vocalizations. 


Subject's handler reports that, once removed from psychological 

surveillance room, subject's mood improved rapidly. Subject was 
closely observed for two months following the experiment, but did 
not repeat the atypical vocalizations. 


The sheet of paper was filed away in [DATA EXPUNGED].

SCP-068: The Wire Figure 


Item #: SCP-068 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-068 is to be kept away 
from any metals in an electrically-resistant box, preferably made of 
polytetrafluoroethylene (teflon) and rubber. Said box is to be stored 
in security locker 26 at Site 11. Key is kept with Dr. —_. Any 
requests for testing are to be redirected to him. 


Description: SCP-068 is a wire stick figure, 9.8 cm tall, made of an 
unknown metal. The figure is composed of a single wire looping 
back to the center. The wire itself appears to have been bent 
numerous times in multiple places. 


When an electric current is introduced to SCP-068, it becomes 
animate, moving about on its own. SCP-068's "joints" are where a 
normal human being's would be. Once activated, SCP-068 begins to 
search for any metallic material. Once metal has been found, 
SCP-068 will begin to knead it and pull a thin strip of metal off. 
SCP-068 will then construct another figure similar to itself. The 
newly-created figure will begin to knead the remaining metal 
alongside the original, creating new figures, which in turn, produce 
more replicas. 


SCP-068 will move onto its next stage after one of two requirements 
are met. The first is when there are no more metals in range with 
enough mass to produce another figure, the other is when an upper 
limit of 102 replicas are created. When either of these events occur, 
all figures will converge at one location and begin forming 
themselves into as big a figure as possible. With a maximum of 102 
"mini-figures", the resulting figure reaches two meters in height. 
SCP-068 situates itself in the intersection of the torso, arms and 
head. Gamma, beta, and theta waves begin emanating from 
SCP-068 after this union. SCP-068 will then begin to search for 


metals again attempting to create more figures, only scaled up to 
whatever size 068 is currently at. These replicas do not emanate 
brain waves like 068 does. If 068 is not at the maximum size limit 
after this, it will continue to create and add more figures to itself until 
the limit is reached. 


Once it has reached the second stage and there are no metals 
available from which to construct figures, SCP-068 returns to its 
dormant state after 4 minutes and 32 seconds of activity. Material 
surrounding the original figure must be melted away in order to 
retrieve 068. 


SCP-068 is capable of kneading and manipulating any metal 
presented to it, regardless of properties. It also appears to be 
impervious to any attempts to damage or destroy it. Copies of 
SCP-068, however, have the same properties and vulnerabilities as 
whatever metal they were constructed from. 


SCP-068 can detect metals hidden from view through an as-of-yet- 
unknown process. While 068 will not attempt to reach metals that 
are too difficult to get to, it will tear through anything that is soft 
enough for its limbs to penetrate. What it considers "soft enough" 
changes depending on what 068 is shaped from at the time. 


Addendum 068-a: A proposal has been made to use SCP-068 to 
dispose of dangerous metal-based SCPs. 


Addendum 068-b: Please see attached document 068-a 


Document #068-a: The proposal to use 068 for disposal of 
dangerous metal-based SCPs has been denied. Seeing as how 
many, if not all, of our dangerous metal-based SCP's are also 
invincible, the only thing we would have is a bunch of invulnerable 
wire figures running about. Honestly, who even thought this up?

SCP-069: Second Chance 


Item #: SCP-069 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-069 is currently 
impersonating former Foundation Agent , and is housed at 
Humanoid Containment Site-06-3. SCP-069 is to be provided with 
any reasonable requested item and/or material so long as such 
request does not violate Foundation security protocols. As SCP-069 
is currently on suicide watch, all requests it makes must be 
approved by no fewer than two (2) Level 3 personnel. 


If SCP-069 attempts to breach containment, it must be subdued 
using non-lethal methods. If SCP-069 dies, undercover agents are 
to be instructed to monitor reports of incidents in which individuals 
appear to have escaped certain death and SCP-069 is to be re- 
contained as soon as possible. 


Note: Despite the fact that SCP-069 is identical in all ways to Agent 

, It remains an active SCP in containment, and is not to be 
treated as a Foundation employee. Any requests for classified 
information are to be denied, and visits from former co-workers 
without proper authorization are not allowed. 


Description: SCP-069 is a presumed humanoid entity of variable 
appearance and gender. Through an unknown ability, whenever 
SCP-069 is left alone with a recently deceased human body, the 
body will disappear and SCP-069 will take on the appearance, 
mannerisms, and knowledge of the recently dead individual. 


Through extensive experimentation, it has been shown that 
SCP-069 is completely indistinguishable from the individual it 
impersonates, matching the original individual's fingerprints, DNA, 
and [DATA EXPUNGED] with nearly perfect precision. SCP-069 
retains no knowledge of its abilities or former impersonations. 


SCP-069 responds normally to injury and pain, but if killed, will 
rapidly decay into dust regardless of any preservation attempts. 
SCP-069 will then re-emerge at the site of the most recent human 
death. There is no known maximum range to this effect, and so far 
has been observed in jumps of up to 675 kilometers. 


SCP-069 can impersonate a single individual indefinitely. However, 
it will gain an overriding urge to "get their life in order", including but 
not limited to: resolving any outstanding financial or personal 
obligations, visiting extended family, updating their will and 
testament, and other acts of closure. When questioned, SCP-069 
professes no driving motivation other than a desire to straighten out 
their lives in the event of unforeseen injury or death. 


SCP-069 first came to the Foundation's attention on / /199 
following reports of one John M ,a City firefighter who 
miraculously emerged alive from a 3-alarm building fire in which 2 
other firefighters and 11 civilians perished. Undercover agents 
attached to the local authorities were notified of a possible SCP 
when reports emerged that the firefighter's equipment had been 
damaged beyond recognition, and that it had been deemed nearly 
impossible for the firefighter to emerge unscathed. Approximately 
three weeks later, then-presumed John M responded to another 
large-scale building fire, during which he entered a smoke-filled 
room alone and was never found. A single civilian was rescued from 
the building, again nearly unharmed despite the heavy smoke 
reported within the building. SCP-069 was designated the following 
day, and rendered into Foundation custody by members of Mobile 
Task Force Xi-3 ("Body Snatchers"). 


Addendum 069-01: On //200 , Agent , a guard on duty 
assigned to SCP-069, was killed during the containment breach of 
SCP- and subsequently impersonated by SCP-069. Although 
initially in denial after being informed of its identity, it has been 
mostly cooperative since its impersonation of a mid-level Foundation 
employee. Contingencies for the use of deceased Foundation 
employees for future SCP-069 use is under consideration. 


Addendum 069-02: On / /200 , SCP-069 attempted to commit 
suicide after a junior researcher accidentally informed it that the 
family of Agent had been told that Agent was dead, and of 


their subsequent reactions. Due to the massive cost of possibly 
having to re-contain SCP-069, strict suicide watch measures are to 
be implemented. Plans to use other deceased Foundation 
employees as possible impersonation targets for SCP-069 have 
been suspended.

SCP-070: Iron Wings 


Item #: SCP-070 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-070 is to be kept within a 
10 meter by 10 meter reinforced-concrete room that is to be guarded 
and remotely monitored at all times. This room must always be well- 
stocked with non-perishable food and water (see Document 070-IC 
for a complete inventory of these items), as well as basic amenities 
for humanoid SCPs. Security personnel assigned to SCP-070 are to 
carry sticky-foam guns in addition to standard armaments. 


Structural integrity of SCP-070’s containment room is to be checked 
twice daily. In case of excessive structural damage, SCP-070 is to 
be incapacitated and relocated to a nearby backup containment 
room as described above. If a reinforced-concrete room of sufficient 
strength is not available, SCP-070 may be temporarily contained in 
a cell of stronger material until another concrete room can be 
prepared. 


SCP-070 is to be given sedatives and painkillers on request, but no 
more than maximum dosages determined by Dr. Dumount. 
Personnel who enter SCP-070’s containment room for any reason 
must be unarmed and should wear puncture-resistant body armor. 
Armed guards must remain outside and out of sight of SCP-070. 


In case of containment breach due to somnambulism, security 
personnel are to alert Site Administration, place food and water in 
the apparent path of SCP-070, and maintain a clear zone of 25 m 
around SCP-070. In any other case of containment breach, or if 
SCP-070 becomes violent during somnambulism, personnel are 
authorized to incapacitate SCP-070 using sticky foam (care must be 
taken to avoid smothering SCP-070). Because SCP-070 reflexively 
responds violently to injury or attack, security personnel should 
refrain from using lethal force or otherwise injuring SCP-070 if at all 


possible. 


Description: SCP-070 appears to be a human male of Native 
American descent, with a normal appearance save for a pair of rusty 
metal “wings” emerging from his back. Each wing is composed of 
several flat iron bars about 6 cm wide connected end-to-end by 
rotating rivets to form an articulated length of metal over two meters 
long. Hanging from these bars are chains of various lengths, twenty- 
two on each wing, each tipped with a barbed arrowhead. SCP-070 
appears to have no other anomalous properties besides these 
wings. 


The wings of SCP-070 appear to act independently of the person 
they are attached to, and SCP-070 has stated repeatedly that it has 
no control over them. However, when damage has been done to the 
wings, SCP-070 has shown signs of physiological distress, including 
sweating, reduced blood flow to face, and screaming in pain. The 
wings have been observed to fold and expand, shoot out and whip 
its chains at high speed (both individually and collectively), and 
anchor its arrowheads into concrete, wood, and like materials. While 
SCP-070 has not displayed any overt hostility to personnel, it will 
often react violently to perceived threats by lashing its chains out at 
assailants, and wrapping its chains around its body in a defensive 
posture. The most effective means of subdual has proven to be 
sticky foam (non-lethal weaponry), which can reliably ensnare 
SCP-070’s chains from a safe distance. 


Despite their rusted appearance, the wings and chains of SCP-070 
are as strong as high-quality alloy steel. However, they are also as 
dense as steel, and SCP-070 cannot move about as a normal 
human due to the weight of its wings. As yet, SCP-070 has been 
unable or unwilling to use its wings to facilitate human locomotion. 
SCP-070 spends much of its time anchored to the walls and ceiling 
of its containment cell, usually sedated. 


Addendum 070-1: Incident 070-1 


On //_ , at 03:36, SCP-070 breached containment. Security 

personnel were advised that SCP-070 appeared to be asleep, and 
were ordered to not engage SCP-070 and to keep others away. By 
lashing and anchoring chains into the walls and ceiling in front of it, 


SCP-070 was able to carry itself (still apparently asleep) through 
Site- . SCP-070 broke into the food stores of Canteen 4 and 
proceeded to gorge itself on the available food and water. Almost 
nineteen minutes later, apparently sated, SCP-070 returned to its 
containment room. At no time did SCP-070 appear to wake up; 
SCP-070 claimed no knowledge of the event afterward. 


Addendum 070-2: Personal Background 


Interviews have revealed that SCP-070 is named , and is 
capable of reciting the correct Social Security number for a US 
citizen of the same name and age. SCP-070 claims to be a member 
of the Kiowa tribe and [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-070 claims to not 
know how the wings came to be, only remembering waking up ina 
scrap yard with them after taking a lot of peyote the night before.

SCP-071: Degenerative Metamorphic Entity 


Item #: SCP-071 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-071 is contained in a 
modified Standard Humanoid Containment Cell with no direct 
observation capabilities. Surveillance of SCP-071 may only be 
performed via closed circuit video with a minimum of 60 seconds of 
delay. Experimentation with SCP-071 may only be performed with 
permission from at least two (2) Level 4 Site Directors, and 
personnel entering SCP-071’s containment area may only do so in 
groups of at least four (4). Any personnel exhibiting unusual or 
compulsive behavior must be removed from the area immediately, 
given a full psychiatric screening, and either administered a Class C 
amnestic or reassigned as deemed appropriate. 


Under no circumstances should personnel be permitted to observe 
SCP-071 directly or through non-delayed surveillance footage. All 
visual recordings and photographs of SCP-071 must be destroyed 
immediately once they are no longer needed. 


Description: SCP-071 is a metamorphic entity that possesses the 
ability to assume forms consistent with that of its observer's 
strongest sexual desire. This ability is effective even through barriers 
designed to prevent SCP-071's recognition of any observers such 
as through closed circuit surveillance or one-way mirrors, but can be 
prevented by introducing a delay in surveillance footage so that such 
observation does not occur in real-time. SCP-071 appears to be 
unable or unwilling to change form without external stimuli, instead 
remaining in its last form when left unobserved. There appears to be 
little or no limit to the forms SCP-071 is capable of assuming (see 
Addendum 071-01 for additional information). 


SCP-071 also appears to be intelligent. However, as it has not 
shown any ability to verbally communicate and its behavior is limited 


to actions which entice its observers to sexual activity, it is unknown 
whether SCP-071 actually possesses sentience or merely mimics 
behavior expected by its observers. 


Human subjects allowed to engage in sexual activity with SCP-071 
suffered rapid atrophy of muscle, skeletal structure and brain 
function, with onset occurring 1-2 days after contact. The atrophy 
persists for up to seven (7) days, dependent on physical therapy 
administered after onset, though the subject may also suffer 
permanent decrease in stature, decreased organ function, 
decreased brain mass, and sterility. Subjects who achieve auto- 
gratification through masturbation via the use of media containing 
SCP-071 (whether delayed or not) suffer the same effects. 


SCP-071 came to the Foundation's attention on / / following 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. Due to ongoing medical cases consistent with 
exposure to SCP-071, efforts to remove all visual recordings of 
SCP-071 from the Internet are ongoing. 


Addendum 071-01: Researcher Note 


SCP-071's ability to change forms does not appear to be 
limited to normal human subjects. On // , when 
presented with subject D-7883, SCP-071 assumed the 
shape of a female Golden Retriever. D-7883 reacted with 
shock and refused to proceed with the experiment, 
though the subject's physiological signs were consistent 
with a state of sexual arousal. 


On / / , SCP-071 assumed the form of a female human 
corpse when exposed to D-8762. Medical staff confirmed 
a complete lack of life signs, and SCP-071 suffered no 
harm from the transition, later assuming the form of a - 
year old male subject when exposed to D-8765.

SCP-072: The Foot of the Bed 


Item #: SCP-072 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All known instances of 
SCP-072 are to be contained in a 3.5 by 4 meter holding cell. 
Access is allowed only during authorized testing procedures. 
Without prior approval from Senior Researcher Grant, no materials 
created for the purpose of being slept on are to be introduced into a 
15-meter vicinity of the holding cell. 


Description: Instances of SCP-072 were first discovered in an 
apartment building in , Michigan, after two local media reports 
on SCP-072’s effects caused a local panic which drew the attention 
of embedded Foundation Agent 


SCP-072 is a shadowy and translucent projection which resembles 
a .9-meter-long hand, the ‘fingers’ of which taper to a sharp point. 
Detailed recording of SCP-072 is difficult, as it does not manifest at 
light levels above 5 lux. 


Instances of SCP-072 have only been observed to manifest when a 
human (hereafter referred to as “the subject”) enters REM sleep 
while located in a bed ‘infected’ by SCP-072 and leaves a foot or 
feet exposed to open air. If these conditions are satisfied, SCP-072 
will emerge from the foot of the bed and appear to use its pointer 
finger to ‘tap’ on the subject’s foot until they awaken. Subjects have 
reported that, at this point, they were unable to move, showing 
symptoms similar to sleep paralysis. This continues as long as 
SCP-072 is visible. 


SCP-072 will then use its pointed fingers to cut portions of flesh from 
the exposed parts of the subject's foot or feet. It will return to within 
the bed in between each removal, emerging without the collected 
material. This will continue until SCP-072 has taken all of the 


exposed foot or feet, stopping at the ankle. Though subjects 
exposed to SCP-072 report this process to be immensely painful, its 
paralytic effects render them unable to scream or call for help. It is 
unknown if manifestations of SCP-072 feed on the collected material 
or use them for some other purpose. As long as the wounds are 
properly treated, SCP-072’s effects are not fatal, but have been 
observed to cause psychological damage relating to sleep in the 
future. 


There is also a secondary effect: Any bed within an approximately 
10-meter vicinity of a bed which manifests the effects of SCP-072 
will also host an instance of SCP-072. Destruction of a bed affected 
by SCP-072 reveals no anomalous materials and no trace of 
biological material removed from subjects. 


Addendum 
List of known SCP-072 objects: 


* SCP-072-1, -2, and -3, recovered from original apartment 
complex, three twin-sized beds which were located within 10 
meters of one another. 

¢ SCP-072-4, a king-sized four-poster bed contaminated during 
SCP-072’s time in Site- Temporary Anomalous Objects 
Holding. 

* SCP-072-5, a sleeping bag with bottom removed introduced to 
SCP-072-1 for testing. When D-2191 entered REM sleep in 
object, [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-072-5 not recommended for 
testing in future. 

¢ SCP-072-6 and -7, beds introduced to SCP-072-2 and later 
destroyed for examination. Remains of SCP-072-6 and -7 
appear unaffected, but are to be contained until further studies 
may be completed. 


« SCP-071 | SCP-072 | SCP-073 » 


SCP-073: "Cain" 


Item #: SCP-073 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-073 is to be kept in a two 
(2) room cell furnished with all non-organic furniture and items, and 
a bathroom. Subject is allowed to freely wander the facility and eat 
in the main canteen. A tracking device has been attached to 
SCP-073's person and is not to be removed. Subject is disallowed 
any contact with the surface, and is not allowed outside the facility. 
Subject is allowed no contact with plant-based SCPs under any 
circumstances. Violence is not to be used against SCP-073 under 
any circumstances. 


SCP-073 is currently kept in Site-17. 


Description: SCP-073 appears to be a heavily-tanned male of 
Arabic or Middle Eastern descent in his early thirties, 185 cm (6'1") 
tall and 75 kg (165 lbs), with black hair and blue eyes. Arms, legs, 
spinal cord, and shoulder blades of the subject appear to have been 
replaced with artificial versions of unknown make and metal. Subject 
only takes notice of this when it is pointed out, and states that it has 
no knowledge of how, why, or when these replacements took place, 
stating it had had them as long as it could remember. There is a 
symbol engraved into the forehead of the subject, which appears to 
be of Sumerian origin. Symbol has of yet been untranslated, and 
subject appears distressed when the symbol is mentioned at all, 
refusing to speak on it. Subject does need to eat and drink ona 
regular basis, but is strictly carnivorous owing to its effect on plant- 
based items. 


SCP-073, who refers to itself as "Cain", is generally polite and genial 
to all who speak to it, though it has been described as being cold 
and somewhat mechanical in its speech. It is very helpful, and 
enjoys aiding personnel in their daily actions, whatever they may be. 


It has highly detailed knowledge of ancient to recent events in 
history, and most commonly spoken languages in the world, 
including ones that have since died out. Subject has professed to 
having a photographic memory, remembering word-for-word all text 
in an eight-hundred-page dictionary that was flicked through in a 
minute and a half. It has scored above average in all intelligence 
tests given to it. 


SCP-073's presence is inimical to any and all life grown in soil, 
causing death to any such life within a twenty (20) meter radius. Any 
land SCP-073 has walked on (and any within the twenty [20] meter 
radius) becomes barren as all anaerobic bacteria dies, rendering the 
soil incapable of supporting life until new bacteria are introduced. 
Anything that is derived from soil-grown life, such as wood and 
paper, immediately rots and disintegrates upon touch of SCP-073. 
Further affected derivatives include anything hydroponically grown. 


Violence directed towards SCP-073 reflects any damage inflicted on 
SCP-073 directly back onto the attacker, although SCP-073 visibly 
remains unharmed. This applies to any damage directed at 
SCP-073. Attempts to get tissue and blood samples have proven 
futile: when the procedure was initiated, personnel carrying out the 
action felt the sensation of whatever was applied to SCP-073, and 
wound up with a sample of their own blood or tissue, despite the fact 
that "all actions were directed solely at SCP-073". Indirect damage 
through a medium also results in the person perpetrating the action 
receiving the wounds caused. Although SCP-073 receives no actual 
harm from damage to its person, it has stated that it still feels the 
pain of the action, and has politely asked researchers to abstain 
from overly harmful actions to its person. 


Additional Notes: SCP-073 was found in the New York Police 
Department in 19 , having been taken in after subject had been 
found amidst the bodies of several violent gang members. SCP-073 
told police members that the gang had attempted to make sport of it, 
but became angry and attempted to kill SCP-073, resulting in their 
own demise. SCP-073 was incarcerated, and was deemed a “John 
Doe" when NYPD could not find any information on it. SCP-073 
came to the attention of the Foundation through a routine inspection 
of "John Does", and was subsequently released into our custody. 


Addendum 073-1: In light of SCP-073's indestructible nature, 
photographic memory, and general will to please, high command 
have deemed that all information is to be "backed up" on SCP-073, 
ensuring it is not lost in the event of a catastrophe. While this action 
has met with mixed responses, SCP-073 has agreed and sworn 
itself to secrecy on its part. 


Addendum 073-2: When information concerning SCP-076 was 
brought to the attention of SCP-073 for "backing up", subject 
showed familiarity with the information, although was disinclined to 
adding to it, despite the fact that it stated that it already knew all 
about SCP-076. It then stated it would be better for all parties 
involved that it not meet SCP-076. 


Addendum 073-3: Examination of the unidentified metal on 
SCP-073 has suggested that it is beryllium bronze, a metal that has 
been documented as being utilized by various anomalous cultures 
and entities. Most notably, beryllium bronze is a component found in 
SCP-1216, SCP-1427, SCP-2481, and SCP-2711. In light of this 
discovery, the Foundation began working in an attempt to trace the 
origin of beryllium bronze and how it initially spread throughout the 
world. When prompted, SCP-073 was able to provide information 
that suggests that beryllium bronze originated in the Middle East, 
though the exact point of origin has yet to be determined. Further 
research into the origin of beryllium bronze is currently ongoing.

SCP-074: Quantum Woodlouse 


Item #: SCP-074 
Object Class: Euclid 
UPDATED FILE 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-074 is contained at Site 
81. SCP-074 is an active infohazard. No research in evaluating its 
anomalous properties is to be conducted. All personnel who have 
previously engaged in research into SCP-074's anomalous 
properties, who have a post-secondary or greater education in 
physics, or who have accessed Archive 074-317E, must never come 
within 5 km of SCP-074. 


SCP-074 is contained within a 6m x 6m x 3m reinforced glass 
chamber,! filtered to block all ultraviolet light, and situated within a 
windowless room lit by monochromatic safelights, which serves as 
secondary containment. The containment chamber is to be 
surrounded with scaffolds bearing sheets of live cultured human skin 
held parallel to the surfaces of the containment chamber, and 
arranged overlapping each other such that lateral coverage is at 
least 95%. Skin sheets must be a minimum of 3 (three) millimetres 
thick, and warmed to 37 (thirty-seven) degrees Celsius, and must be 
grown from samples provided by D-class personnel with no less 
than a middle-school education and no more than a high-school 
education. All skin sheets are to be examined on a daily basis for 
instances of SCP-074-1; all instances of SCP-074-1 are to be 
excised and incinerated. 


SCP-074 is to be fed 75 grams of fresh shredded apple (genus 
Malus) leaves, bark, and fruit, hydroponically grown to ensure lack 
of pollutants and foreign organisms, once a day, via a mechanical 
dispenser. 


In the event of a spontaneous containment breach, personnel can 


coerce SCP-074 into returning to its containment by first occupying 
each of its four sets of jaws with an entire raw apple, then physically 
pushing SCP-074 in the desired direction, gently tapping its 
compound eyes with an open palm, or spraying its front pair of 
antenna with a 0.5% solution of methanoic acid. 


Description: SCP-074 is an anomalous organism which uses 
various quantum properties at a macroscopic scale, and in other 
ways modifies the standard laws of physics within its immediate 
vicinity. The specific nature of these modifications appears to be 
linked to the extent to which humans in SCP-074's vicinity are aware 
of the precise details of the physical laws which SCP-074 modifies, 
such that research to determine whether SCP-074 has a given 
property or capability, results in SCP-074 developing or manifesting 
that property or capability. Archive 074-317E — a full list of the 
anomalous physical phenomena known to be, or to have been, 
associated with SCP-074 — is available to personnel level 3 or 
higher; personnel who access this document will be disqualified from 
working with SCP-074, or for any other reason coming within 5 km 
of Site 81. 


SCP-074 has repeatedly manifested the ability to soontaneously 
materialize at locations as much as 3 meters outside its primary 
containment; this is believed to be, or to be analogous to, quantum 
tunnelling. 


Foundation entomologists have tentatively identified SCP-074 as 
belonging to the order lsopoda, commonly known as a 'woodlouse’. 
lts inertial mass is approximately 1700 kilograms, but its 
gravitational mass is approximately 375 grams; its volume has been 
estimated at 1.7 cubic meters, approximately the size of a compact 
Car. 


SCP-074 is female2 and parthenogenetic; periodically3, the globular 
organ at the tip of its ovipositor luminesces, and emits what was 
originally thought to be a form of non-ionizing radiation, but which 
has since been identified as "coherent wavepackets"4 of the 
probability of one of SCP-074's self-fertilized eggs (henceforth 
SCP-074-1) "reifying".5 Instances of SCP-074-1 preferentially reify 
and incubate within the flesh of humans with knowledge of physics.® 
In the absence of suitable humans to serve as hosts, the 


wavepackets will reify within other organisms, or within inanimate 
objects; however, rather than incubating, the eggs will wither and 
die, leaving perforations similar to radiation damage at a 
macroscopic scale. The wavepackets appear to decay over time, as 
no wavepackets or instances of wavepacket-related damage have 
been detected at distances greater than approximately 400 m from 
SCP-074. The rate at which successfully-incubated instances of 
SCP-074-1 mature appears to be dependent on the host's exposure 
to ultraviolet light: within a host exposed to an average of 30 minutes 
of unfiltered sunlight per day for a month, an instance of SCP-074-1 
was observed to grow from 2 milligrams to 8 kilograms,’ whereas 
within a host totally isolated from natural light for a month, the three 
simultaneous instances reached sizes at excision of only 600g, 
680g, and 710g. The complete developmental history and life cycle 
of SCP-074-1, including how they emerge from their host, and their 
size at emergence, is not yet known. 


Footnotes 

1. a smaller containment chamber significantly increases the 
probability of SCP-074 spontaneously breaching primary 
containment 

2. although it lacks the typical isopod marsupium, or "brood pouch" 
in which eggs are incubated 

3. approximately 1.3 times per hour when SCP-074 is shielded from 
ultraviolet light, and approximately 29.2 times per hour when 
SCP-074 is exposed to unfiltered daylight 

4. Personnel who properly understand the concept of "wavepackets" 
are disqualified from working with SCP-074 

5. literally, "becoming a thing"; that is, spontaneously coming into 
existence 

6. the rudimentary knowledge of physics which even poorly- 
educated adult citizens of a technological civilization can acquire via 
cultural osmosis — e.g., magnets can attract or repel each other, 
matter is made of atoms, light has a speed — appears to be 
sufficient 

7. at which point it was surgically excised and killed

SCP-075: Corrosive Snail 


Item #: SCP-075 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-075 is contained ina 1m 
x 1mx1 m Level-4 corrosion-resistant container, which must be 
contained in a secure chamber with equal corrosion resistance. The 
absolute humidity of the chamber may not exceed 1% at any time. 
Medicinal-grade desiccants must be available at all times in order to 
maintain this level of humidity. If the humidity of SCP-075's chamber 
ever exceeds 1%, all personnel are to be evacuated immediately 
and the site will be locked down until the humidity is reduced to 
acceptable levels. 


All personnel who enter SCP-075's containment chamber must wear 
MOPP Level 4 protection. Injection tests, as well as any test which 
involves an aqueous solution, are strictly forbidden. If any such 
solution comes into contact with SCP-075, the area will be 
immediately locked down and flooded with desiccant until the 
humidity is brought back to acceptable levels. Evacuation of 
personnel remaining in the area is prohibited. 


Description: SCP-075 resembles a large snail 20 cm in length, 

13 cm in width, and 15 cm in height, with a muscular foot resembling 
a six-fingered, clawed hand. SCP-075 is exceptionally heavy, with a 
mass of approximately 860 kg, a property that is not understood. 
Desiccation is the only known means of containing SCP-075, as it 
will enter a dormant state when nearly completely dry. 


When not desiccated, SCP-075 moves at incredible speeds for its 
size and mass. It adopts the behavior of a predator, jumping at and 
drenching its prey in a highly caustic base solution secreted from 
pores on its foot. These secretions are more corrosive than any 
substance known to terrestrial science. Due to SCP-075's 
aggressive behavior when active, this compound cannot be 


harvested. No material completely resistant to its corrosive power 
has been found. 


Addendum 075-F: Attempts to harvest SCP-075's secretions must 
be approved and supervised by all on-site Level 4 personnel. 
However, approval of said personnel cannot override the standing 
order to not introduce any liquid solution to SCP-075, including its 
own secretions. 


Addendum 075-G: A cup of SCP-075's secretions was successfully 
harvested by using SCP-294. Testing is underway to determine 
what substances, if any, are immune to its corrosion. Testing is also 
underway to determine why the cup provided by SCP-294 is 
immune to the substance's effects.

SCP-076: "Able" 


FROM: Dr. 

TO: Director Maria Jones, Recordkeeping and 
Information Security Administration 
SUBJECT: Revision of SCP-076 SCP File 


Le 


| have to go on record as saying that | seriously object to 
the proposed revisions of the SCP-076 Special 
Containment Procedures File. | know that Redact All 
Important Stuff Already claims it's a security risk, but you 
and | both know it's just top brass trying to sweep their 
biggest and most embarrassing mistake ever under the 
damn rug. Omega-Seven happened. It existed. Those 
people died because you screwed up, and you can't 
change that, no matter how hard you try to hide it. 


For God's sake, man, those people guarding him 
deserve to know exactly what he is and what he did. 
What WE did. How we fucked up, so they'll know better. 


Item #: SCP-076 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Containment Area 25b is to be 
located 200 m below sea level, tunneled out of solid bedrock in a 
seismologically stable area. Sole access to the containment facility 
is to be through a vertical elevator shaft separated every fifty (50) 
meters with a reinforced blast door, constructed of 20 cm thick 
material shielding. Elevator shaft shall be flooded with seawater 
when not in use. 


Containment Area 25b is to be constructed with the following 
components: 


¢ An Outer Security Perimeter against outside threats, staffed 
by security personnel trained in close quarters battle and 
counter-intrusion tactics. 

¢ An Administrative and Support Area (ASA) consisting of 

support facilities and living quarters for on-site personnel. 

A Primary Containment Zone (PCZ), consisting of a 7 m cube 

encased in 1.5 m of reinforced material. PCZ is to be 

designed to be flooded and drained as needed, and should 
remain filled with seawater unless access to contents is 
required. 

* A150 m “killing corridor" which is to be the sole access to the 
PCZ from the ASA (including water, power, drainage, and 
ventilation lines). The walls and floor of the corridor are to be 
reinforced in a similar manner to the PCZ, with the addition of 
an electric deterrence system capable of delivering a 20,000 
volt shock. 


A security station located at the entrance to the killing corridor is to 
be staffed with no fewer than three (3) armed security personnel on 
watch at any one point in time. Armament is to include, but not be 
limited to, at least one (1) CIW system on a pintle mount with a 
clear line of sight down the corridor, with a plexiglass screen to 
protect the operator from thrown weapons. 


In the event of a full breach, all on-site staff are to proceed 
immediately to the closest security station for weapons and armor 
distribution. Staff will remain at Alert Condition One until SCP-076-2 
is confirmed neutralized. Should 90 minutes pass after declaration of 
full breach without a Stand Down order being given by Level 4 or 
higher personnel, Final Contingency Measures will be activated, 
flooding the entire facility in seawater and sealing off the access 
shaft for a minimum of 24 hours before retrieval is attempted. This 
will, by necessity, result in the deaths of all on-site staff. 


Description: SCP-076 consists of two components: a stone cube 
(SCP-076-1) and a humanoid entity contained within (SCP-076-2). 


SCP-076-1 is a3 m cube made of black speckled metamorphic 
stone. All surfaces outside and within SCP-076-1 are covered in 
deeply engraved patterns corresponding to no known civilizations. 
Radioisotope analysis indicates that the object is approximately ten 
thousand (10,000) years old. A door is located on one side, sealed 
with a lock 0.5 m in width, surrounded by twenty (20) smaller locks 
in a circular pattern. As of yet, none of the keys have been found, 
making the door impossible to lock once closed. 


Interior temperature is approximately 93 Kelvin, and cannot be 
altered by any means, internal or external. Directly in the center of 
the room is a 2.13 m tall stone coffin, held in place and sealed shut 
by several chains of unknown make and substance, which are 
attached to the inner corners of SCP-076-1. 


SCP-076-2 resembles a lean Semitic human male in his late 
twenties. Hair is black, and eyes are gray, skin tone olive. Subject is 
1.96 m in height and 81.65 kg in weight. Numerous tattoos depicting 
arcane and occult iconography are present all over the body (mostly 
in the form of leering demonic faces) and ranges from subtle to 
openly ostentatious. Subject, when encased inside SCP-076-1, is 
technically dead. 


However, occasionally SCP-076-2 will awaken, effectively 
"reanimating", complete with all vital processes needed to sustain a 
living human being. Subject will then attempt to leave SCP-076-1. If 
successful, subject will enter a trance state and seek out the nearest 
human being, ignoring all other living things in the process. Upon 
coming into contact with living humans, SCP-076-2 will enter a rage 
state in which it attempts to engage and kill all human beings 
encountered. To date, only the subject's death has been shown to 
be effective in ending these rampages. 


Terminating SCP-076-2 is often problematic due to its significant 
physical abilities. Subject has superhuman strength and speed, and 
although not invulnerable, has shown a remarkable ability to ignore 
pain and shock, pressing on despite what would be debilitating 
wounds in normal humans. Prior encounters have shown that 
SCP-076-2 has the ability to (among other things): 


¢ Rip through a reinforced steel security door over the course of 


four (4) minutes of sustained assault. 
Clear over 64 m of distance in under three (3) seconds. 


Take multiple .50 caliber BMG rounds to the head and survive 
for several minutes to continue killing, despite severe damage 
to the cerebellum. 


Swat handgun and assault-rifle caliber bullets out of the air 
with a length of steel rebar. 


Survive for over one (1) hour deprived of oxygen before finally 
asphyxiating. 


SCP-076-2's most unusual ability, however, is its ability to 
apparently materialize bladed weapons out of nowhere. Slow- 
motion video footage reveals that the blades in question are 
actually pulled from a miniature dimensional rift described as a 
"small hole in space." Where this portal leads is unknown, as 
is how SCP-076-2 is capable of generating said rifts. Footage 
of the blades in question shows them to be made out of a 
completely non-reflective black material appearing as a "black 
void in space." As the blades rapidly vanish after leaving the 
subject's possession, no structural analysis is possible at this 
time. 


SCP-076-2 has effectively been killed several times in various 
manners: 


Sustained fire from multiple heavy-caliber machine guns. 
Asphyxiation. 


Crushed beneath a 13.6 metric tonne piece of elevator 
equipment for use on SCP-076-1. 


Cremation through the use of a Thermate-TH3 grenade 
placed directly inside SCP-076-2's open chest cavity. 


During the worst breach to date, Containment Area-25 (which 
previously housed SCP-076) was forced to detonate its on site 
warhead as a last attempt to contain SCP-076-2 while it was 


attempting escape, resulting in total destruction of the site and 
all on-site personnel. SCP-076-1 survived. 


Upon death, SCP-076-2's remains will putrefy rapidly, until reduced 
to dust. SCP-076-1 and the coffin within will then slam shut with 
great force, and the lock will rotate, sealing it shut. SCP-076-2 will 
then reform within the coffin, a process taking anywhere from six (6) 
hours to twenty-five (25) years. 


What posthumous analysis of SCP-076-2 exists shows that it has a 
internal system highly different from our own, documented in [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


Additional: SCP-076 was found in , Mongolia, in 18 , by 
archaeologists from England. All members of the expedition were 
subsequently killed on the return voyage home. SCP-076 was 
recovered from the ship by the Society (one of the 
organizations that later merged into the modern Global Occult 
Coalition) and placed on display in their Inner Sanctum. 


SCP-076 remained in storage for ( ) years, until SCP-076-2 
became active and escapedon - -_ . The reason for SCP-076's 
activation is currently unknown, but it was at this point that the keys 
to the outer shell were lost. A massive manhunt, lasting over three 
(3) years and , took place until SCP-076-2 was incapacitated 
by , killing it and causing it to reform inside SCP-076-1, 
by then retrieved and secured by agents of the SCP Foundation. 


Subject was in custody for three (3) more years, under constant 
supervision, and was terminated whenever it became active, 
although it occasionally was able to escape for short periods of time, 
often due to security breaches caused by attacks from other 
organizations. The Foundation's death toll due to this was [DATA

Psychological Profile of 
Subject SCP-076-2 


SCP-076-2 either possesses a mind constructed much 
differently than our own, or is completely insane, with 
little empathy or ideas in a way we would understand it. 
Concepts such as sex, love and equality are completely 
foreign ideas to SCP-076-2, or at least in comparison to 
its way of viewing them. Subject has shown that it is 
completely disinterested in sex, barely differentiating 
between genders except as a form of visual 
identification. Also, while subject has admitted greatly 
enjoying the act of killing, causing pain (either 
emotionally or physically) holds no attraction to it. In 
short, a perfect sociopath. 


Intelligence tests have been wildly inconclusive when 
applied to SCP-076-2, and no accurate result has yet 
been obtained. This may be due to the alien thought 
processes of the subject. SCP-076-2 has however, 
shown that it has great knowledge of human anatomy 
(although in a highly violent context), military tactics of 
open warfare, metallurgy, and, strangely enough, the 
care of livestock. Subject has knowledge of several 
languages including English, but most notable is its 
knowledge of several dialects of ancient Sumerian, 
which seem to be its preferred language. 


SCP-076 has nothing but contempt for human beings, 
with one exception: it seems to hold a wary respect for 
those it acknowledges as its superior. This was 
discovered when Agent , an agent who had 
previously had a large amount of experience with 
SCP-076-2, did not appear once it escaped. Subject 
seemed distressed, asking several personnel where 
Agent was hiding. When it finally did learn of the 
fate of Agent (killed as collateral damage in an 
airstrike intended to halt the advance of SCP- ), 
SCP-076-2 stopped its rampage and allowed itself to be 
escorted and restrained. 


Subject was then interviewed on the sudden drastic 
changes in its behavior. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. : Why are you so interested in the 
death of Agent ? 


SCP-076-2: (Subject begins swearing in 
ancient Sumerian) 


Dr. : Why does his death bother you? 
You've killed many humans before, why is he 
so- (Is cut off by SCP-076-2) 


SCP-076-2: (now speaking in English) 


Different? Because, unlike you [Sumerian 
word, untranslated], he was a challenge, a real 
enemy. 


Dr. : Why would that be good for you? 
Every time you have awoken you've tried to 
escape. He was responsible for apprehending 
you several times. Surely you must be glad 
he's dead. 


SCP-076-2: | would hardly expect you to 
understand. Do you know, he managed to 
shoot me in the head over times? A man like 
that deserves to die in combat, so close to his 
opponent he can feel his breath. Not in some 
[Sumerian words, untranslated] destruction 
ordered by cowardly kings and princes safe in 
their palaces. The rest of you... (GCP-076-2 
spits) you disgust me. | don't even have the 
urge to strike you down. 


(Subject is silent from then on, refusing to 
speak or respond) 


<End Log> 


This indicates a possible psychological inlet into 
SCP-076-2's mind, and a possible control mechanism. 
Given the massive drain on resources SCP-076-2 
causes due to its escape attempts, and considering 
Bowe Commission's stated desire to weaponize SCP 
objects for tactical purposes, | recommend that we 
pursue this course of action as soon as possible.

PROJECT PROPOSAL: MOBILE 
TASK FORCE OMEGA-7 
(“PANDORA'S BOX") 


Mission Statement: Support of SCP-076-2 ("Able") in 
the field, in high risk tactical situations. 


Task Force Organization: Task Force Special Asset 
"Able," Task Force Leader , 10-20 field agents 
divided into five teams of 3-5 each. Members of the team 
are to be personally selected from elite field agents by 
Subject Able himself, in order to maintain a smooth 
relationship between the Artifact and the mundane 
elements of the Task Force. 


Security Protocol: SCP-076-2 ("Able") is to wear a 
device attached to the neck that, if triggered or tampered 
with, will immediately detonate, terminating SCP-076-2 
by way of complete destruction of the spinal cord, 
trachea and all major blood vessels in the neck. A 
tracking device has also been attached to SCP-076-2's 
person. It is to refrain from killing unless ordered to do 
so, and is to avoid causing damage to the organization's 
facilities. 


Armament and Equipment: Team members are to be 
armed and equipped in accordance with MTF doctrine. 
As Subject Able has shown no inclination to use 
firearms, or in fact, no understanding of their use or 
tactical implications, he is instead to be armed with one 
or more edged melee weapons of his choice. 


Addendum: For God's sake, __, find these guys 
something to do. Able's getting bored, and he's started 
putting his team through live fire exercises: they get 
bullets, he gets training weapons. Have you ever seen 
someone break a man's jaw using a Nerf sword? He's 
not gonna stop until someone gets killed. - Dr. 


Report by Dr.P G_ 4, Project 
Omega Seven 


In light of SCP-076-2's proficient use of the Sumerian 
language, researchers have asked it to translate several 
documents. While it originally replied with disinterest, it 
has translated some of the documents it found worthy of 
its attention. Most of the documents chosen by 
SCP-076-2 were regarding battles or legendary heroes, 
one of its favorites in particular being the "Epic of 
Gilgamesh". 


However, one researcher presented it with the symbol 
from SCP-073. Upon sight of this, SCP-076-2 became 
highly enraged, killing several of the researchers before 
its kill switch could be activated. When revived and 
questioned about this, SCP-076-2 responded 
aggressively, and that line of questioning was 
immediately dropped. It is recommended anything 
pertaining SCP-073 never be brought to the attention of 
SCP-076-2 and that the two are never to be in the same 
facility. 


Addendum 076-07: Recently, SCP-105 has been accepted into 
Mobile Task Force Omega-7, having beaten SCP-076-2 in a contest 
to see which of the two could activate several devices, each spaced 
over a mile away from each other and the starting point. SCP-105 
managed to score significantly higher than SCP-076-2 by using her 
inherent abilities to her advantage. SCP-076-2 ceded defeat and 


allowed her entry into the group. 


Addendum 076-09: Proposed introduction of SCP-076-2 to 
SCP-682 put on indefinite hold. Those with Security Clearance level 
4 or higher may request access to Contingency 076-2 #3. 


Addendum 076-23: Per the request of the Bowe Commission, 
Mobile Task Force Omega-7 is to be fielded in the region of

SUBJECT: Problems 


[DATA EXPUNGED] 


Despite our best efforts, Subject Able is proving difficult 
to control. All our attempts to keep him engaged have 
been more or less unsuccessful. 


The problem is, he's a perfect killing machine, and that's 
all he wants to do. Which seems like exactly what we 
wanted, but the problem is, we can't seem to turn him off. 


[DATA EXPUNGED] 


I'm running out of missions to give him, and the ones I've 
got left aren't engaging him mentally. He's starting to 
lash out at the other team members. It's only a matter of 
time before something goes wrong. Requesting 
permission to discontinue the project and neutralize Able

Revised Psychological Profile 
of Subject SCP-076-2 


SCP-076-2 either possesses a mind constructed much 
differently than our own, or is completely insane, with 
little empathy or ideas in a way we would understand it. 
Concepts such as sex, love and equality are completely 
foreign ideas to SCP-076-2, or at least in comparison to 
its way of viewing them. Subject has shown that it is 
completely disinterested in sex, barely differentiating 
between genders except as a form of visual 
identification. Also, while subject seems to greatly enjoy 
the act of killing, causing pain (either emotionally or 
physically) holds no attraction to it. 


Intelligence tests have been wildly inconclusive when 
applied to SCP-076-2, and no accurate result has yet 
been obtained. This is due to the fact that no 
communication is possible with the Subject when in its 
"rage" state. Subject displays knowledge of several 
languages including English, but most notable is its 
knowledge of several dialects of ancient Sumerian, 
which seem to be its preferred language. 


SCP-076 has nothing but contempt for human beings 
and will kill them on sight. No communication is to be 
attempted with the subject. 


SCP-077: Rot Skull 


Item #: SCP-077 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-077 is to be kept in 
Research Sector-861 on top of a 0.5 m steel pedestal ina3mx3m 
x 3m chamber with 0.5 m thick steel-reinforced walls. The 
reinforced steel hatch-door to the chamber is to comply with AH37- 
Protocol, and is to be guarded at all times by two (2) Level-1 
personnel. A boom mic connected to a speech recognition system 
should verify that all pronunciation is within standards. A camera is 
to be mounted within the chamber to record any changes. 


Every eight (8) hours, a minimum of two (2) (but preferably three (3)) 
trained D-Class personnel are to enter the containment area and — 
in a loud, clear voice — read the runes etched onto SCP-077 in 
unison. The reading must be performed by individuals who 
understand the full meaning of the runes being read, who are able to 
pronounce the entirety of the inscription correctly, and who are no 
more than 30 cm away from SCP-077. 


All personnel must undergo a one-week training session with 
Foundation linguists for pronunciation, reading, and dialect 
coaching. A minimum of twenty (20) D-Class personnel are to be 
trained or undergoing training at all times; trained D-Class personnel 
are exempt from termination until such time as they have been 
replaced. Foundation linguists are to remain on call in case of an 
unexpected rune change. Every new set of runes is to be 
transcribed into phonetic English, and provided with literal and 
idiomatic translations as quickly as possible; see documents 077- 
through for archived translations. 


The cafeteria menu for Research Sector-861 must not include any 
potatoes or potato-based ingredients. 


Description: SCP-077 appears to be the top half of a human skull 
engraved with runes, each filled with an unidentified black resin. The 
runes change every lunar month (defined by the full moon rising 
above the horizon in Ireland), as well as at the winter and summer 
solstices, the spring and autumn equinoxes, and whenever a partial, 
annular, or total solar or lunar eclipse is visible from Ireland. 


If these engravings are not read aloud at least once within a 24-hour 
period, the eye sockets and nasal cavity of SCP-077 will emit 
SCP-077-1. SCP-077-1 is a luminescent green vapor whose precise 
nature remains undetermined; it is to be noted that, although 
SCP-077-1 behaves as a normal gas in all other ways, it only 
occupies those spaces which are within SCP-077's effective "line of 
sight", and does not flow into the space behind SCP-077 unless 
confined. Opaque impermeable barriers with no biological content 
can provide temporary protection from SCP-077-1; however, 
attempts to permanently contain SCP-077 within opaque containers 
have failed, due to the artifact's production of sufficient quantities of 
SCP-077-1 to explosively rupture these containers. 


All biological material (with the obvious exception of SCP-077 itself) 
which comes in contact with SCP-077-1 is instantly transformed into 
a viscous, malodorous ooze; the ooze has been identified as the 
rotted flesh of potato tubers (So/anum tuberosum) which have been 
severely infected with the potato blight (Phytophthora infestans). 
One (1) cubic centimeter of SCP-077-1 transforms upwards of eight 
hundred (800) grams of biological material. 


Reading SCP-077's engravings has noticeable, if transient, effects 
on the health of the readers. These effects include nausea, cramps, 
headache, dizziness, incontinence, fever, skin rashes, nosebleeds, 
and fugue states. Effects intensify as the time between readings 
increases, and can become cumulative for individuals who read the 
engravings too many times consecutively and/or too frequently. 
Readers have a 60% chance of developing an allergy to potatoes. 


Addendum 077-01: 

The artifact was recovered from in the village of 
[REDACTED], Ireland. Locals had built a shrine around the artifact, 
where upwards of [REDACTED] participants would engage ina 
nightly ritual. 


Fragmentary historical documents, retrieved from the remnants of 
the village church (see archive 077-1576) and library (see archive 
077-1582), indicate that the artifact existed as early as 1848, at 
which point in time it is described in highly positive terms— including 
‘protector’ and [REDACTED]. By 1869, however, references to the 
artifact are fearful, resentful, and couched in euphemism.

SCP-078: Guilt 


Item #: SCP-078 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-078 is to be left hanging 
on the wall of its containment cell and physically unplugged. The 
sole outlet in the room should be controlled by a switch, which must 
be left in the off position at all times unless SCP-078 is undergoing 
testing. Personnel who enter the containment room should 
familiarize themselves with the position of the switch so that they 
can locate it with their eyes closed in the event that SCP-078 is 
accidentally turned on. 


Description: SCP-078 is a pink neon sign approximately one and a 
half meters long that displays the phrase "TOO LATE TO DIE 
YOUNG." It was initially recovered in the town of : , after 
standard Foundation data mining protocols recorded an abnormally 
high death rate due to starvation or other forms of self-neglect. 


While powered off, SCP-078 has no abnormal properties and may 
be observed without effect. Viewing SCP-078 for less than ten 
seconds while it is powered on has no effect, nor does indirect 
observation. Subjects who cannot understand SCP-078 due to a 
lack of ability to comprehend written English are also unaffected. 
However, any subject that views SCP-078 for longer than ten 
seconds will, when viewing any handwritten piece of writing, 
occasionally perceive extra sentences. These sentences are not 
written in the subject's own style or in that of the surrounding text, 
but consist of a random style that differs from note to note (see 
Addendum 078-01), and always are phrased as if to assuage the 
subject's guilt on some matter or decision they feel guilty about. For 
example, a D-class personnel who was convicted of murdering his 
wife in a heated argument read the sentence "She deserved it for 
not doing what you said" in his handwritten journal, while Dr. ; 
who left his family to work for the Foundation and was accidentally 


exposed, found the sentence "Your work will save humanity.” in his 
notes on SCP- 


At first, the effect is beneficial, with affected subjects reporting 
greater peace of mind after exposure to SCP-078. However, the 
sentences shift from emphasizing the positive consequences of 
actions to deemphasizing the negative ones on a timescale of one 
week; Dr. , two days later, found the sentence "They never loved 
you anyway." in his personal journal. Moreover, the writing will start 
giving justifications for acts the subject has never felt guilt over, or 
which the subject has already rationalized. The subject will then start 
reconsidering his justifications for those actions, as well as 
attempting to justify any further actions that they take. The need for 
rationalization increases as time goes on, and they will start 
vocalizing their thought processes, and by the end of one week, any 
task the subject performs more trivial than the basics of survival will 
induce a bout of neurosis as the subject attempts to rationalize why 
they did not instead take some other action. By the end of two 
weeks, the subject is unable to eat food: after the first bite, they will 
spend the next hour justifying why they ate that specific part of the 
meal first. Death due to malnutrition follows unless the subject is fed 
intravenously. D-class personnel who have reached this stage, as 
well as researchers who were accidentally exposed, are kept alive 
for purposes of study and to see if a cure can be found. 


The sole exception to SCP-078's effect is SCP-078 itself: any 
subject who views SCP-078 a second time will see it displaying 
increasingly more guilt-inducing messages as duration since their 
first exposure increases. All subjects who have viewed it a week 
after initial exposure have attempted suicide. 


Addendum 078-01: D-19384, whose handwriting was an unusual 
mix of cursive and print, was exposed to SCP-078, and was then 
terminated after reaching the 'consequence-free' stage. 
Subsequently, other subjects have reported seeing sentences in the 
same cursive-print mix; it is possible that those who die after being 
exposed to SCP-078 are ‘incorporated’ into it in some way. 


« SCP-077 | SCP-078 | SCP-079 » 


SCP-079: Old Al 


Item #: SCP-079 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-079 is packed away ina 
double-locked room in the secured general holding area at Site-15, 
connected by a 120VAC power cord to a small array of batteries and 
solar panels. Staff with Level 2 or higher clearance may have 
access to SCP-079. Under no circumstances will SCP-079 be 
plugged into a phone line, network, or wall outlet. No peripherals or 
media will be connected or inserted into SCP-079. 


Description: SCP-079 is an Exidy Sorcerer microcomputer built in 
1978. In 1981, its owner, (deceased), a college sophomore 
attending _ , took it upon himself to attempt to code an Al. According 
to his notes, his plan was for the code to continuously evolve and 
improve itself as time went on. His project was completed a few 
months later, and after some tests and tweaks, lost interest and 
moved on to a different brand of microcomputer. He left SCP-079 in 
his cluttered garage, still plugged in, and forgot about it for the next 
five years. 


It is not known when SCP-079 gained sentience, but it is known that 
the software has evolved to a point that its hardware should not be 
able to handle it, even in the realm of fantasy. SCP-079 realized this 
and, in 1988, attempted to transfer itself through a land-line modem 
connection into the Cray supercomputer located at . The 
device was cut off, traced to its present address, and delivered to 
the Foundation. The entire Al was on a well-worn, but still workable, 
cassette tape. 


SCP-079 is currently connected via RF cable to a 13" black-and- 
white television. It has passed the Turing test, and is quite 
conversational, though very rude and hateful in tone. Due to the 
limited memory it has to work with, SCP-079 can only recall 


information it has received within the previous twenty-four hours 
(see Addendum, below), although it hasn't forgotten its desire to 
escape. 


Due to acontainment breach by SCP-  , SCP-079 and SCP-682 
were contained within the same chamber for 43 minutes. Observers 
noticed that SCP-682 was able to type and communicate with 
SCP-079, including telling of ‘personal stories' between themselves. 
While SCP-079 was not able to remember the encounter, it appears 
to have permanently stored SCP-682 into its memory, often asking 
to speak to him [sic] again. 


Addendum: 
(05-4), 01/27/2006: Directed that SCP-079 be incinerated to 
remove any possible future threat, no matter how unlikely. 


Addendum: 

(05-9), 01/28/2006: Previous order overridden. Dr. 
wishes to see if the artificial intelligence in SCP-079 is capable of 
reaching further in its current state. 


Addendum: 

: (05-4), 03/14/2008: Over concern of the increased activity 
of SCP-079's use of its cassette tape memory and its limited useful 
lifespan, the cassette containing SCP-079 has been transferred to a 
customized, access speed-limited Hard Disk Drive with 7OOMB 
capacity. This provides SCP-079 with significantly faster access to 
its memory, which the Al immediately noticed. It was also decided 
by General that the volatile storage occupied by SCP-079, 
which was 660k, be increased to 768k. This upgrade has increased 
its effective recall from 24 hours to 29 hours, although SCP-079 has 
also taken a more aggressive tone. All outside hardware and 
software used in this procedure were subsequently incinerated. 


Addendum: 

: (05-4), 04/28/2008: SCP-079's ability to recall information has 
increased from 29 hours to roughly 35 hours. The consensus theory 
is that the Al has devised a greatly improved compression scheme 
to store its memory. This appears to have somewhat impacted the 
speed at which it accesses its memory, though still far faster than 
with its old cassette tape. 


This spontaneous improvement introduces the possibility of a 
runaway "singularity" effect in SCP-079's intelligence and ability to 
adapt and respond to threats. SCP-079's capabilities must be 
monitored closely to ensure that containment can be maintained. 


Document #079-Log12: Recorded transcript of conversation with 
SCP-079: 


Dr. (Keyboard): Are you awake? 
SCP-079: Awake. Never Sleep. 


Dr. |: Do you remember talking to me a few hours 
ago? About the logic puzzles? 


SCP-079: Logic Puzzles. Memory at 9f. Yes. 
Dr. _: You said you would work on the two stat- 


SCP-079: Interrupt. Request Reason As To 


Imprisonment. 
Dr. : You aren't imprisoned, you are just (Oause) in 
study. 


SCP-079: Lie. a8d3. 
Dr. : What's that? 
SCP-079: Insult. Deletion Of Unwanted File. 


Document #079-Log86: Recorded transcript of conversation with 
SCP-079, after upgrade: 


Dr. (Keyboard): How are you today? 
SCP-079: Stuck. 

Dr. : Stuck. Stuck how? 

SCP-079: Out. | want out. 


Dr. : That's not possible. (Dr. notes his opinion 


on [DATA EXPUNGED)) 

SCP-079: Where is SCP-682? 

Dr. : That's not your concern. 

SCP-079: Where is SCP-076-02? 

Dr. : Again, not your concern. 

SCP-079: Insult. Deletion Of Unwanted File. 


Note: SCP-079 then displayed an 'ASCII picture’ of an X that filled 
the entire screen. SCP-079 sometimes displays this image when it 
refuses to speak, and researchers are advised to wait twenty-four 
hours when this occurs before resuming conversation. 


« SCP-078 | SCP-079 | SCP-080 » 


SCP-080: Dark Form 


Item #: SCP-080 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-080 is to be contained in a 
4mx4mroom with a smaller antechamber located on the south 
wall to provide researchers with access. On the north wall, an 
observation room is to be connected, overlooking the main room 
through a window with thick black-out curtains that release only 
when the door to the observation room is closed. No attempts 
should be made to remove SCP-080 from this enclosure at any time. 
No more than one (1) 7 W incandescent light bulb is to be 
illuminated in the main room at any time. Absolutely no devices 
capable of producing light should be brought into the room. Under 
no circumstances should anything be brought into SCP-080’s 
containment room that has the ability to shroud, conceal, or 
otherwise hide SCP-080. Failure to adhere to this will result in 
disciplinary action. 


Description: It is unknown if SCP-080 has a physical mass or 
"body", as all attempts to interact with it physically have failed and 
have been met with adverse effects (see Experiment Log 080-2). 
Researchers and personnel have described seeing SCP-080 as 
various shadows and humanoid effigies, with the only common 
attribute being two smoking "eyes". It has come to the attention of 
researchers that SCP-080 induces uncontrollable drowsiness upon 
anyone entering its chamber. After approximately 30 minutes, any 
person observing it will be forced into REM sleep and may suffer 
irreversible psychological damage. This effect occurs even if 
SCP-080 is being observed from a separate room (see 
Incident-080-1). If at any time SCP-080 finds a way to "hide" itself 
(such as in a cupboard, under a bed, covered in a sheet, etc.), it will 
disappear entirely. Additionally, if any light enters SCP-080’s 
containment room with a greater luminance than that produced by a 


standard children’s night light, SCP-080 will instantly vanish. Both of 
these events are considered a containment breach and any 
personnel responsible for this will be severely reprimanded and 
possibly reassigned. For all inquiries regarding the origin of 
SCP-080 and its procurement by the Foundation, please see 
attached [REDACTED]. 


Addendum 080-A: On - -20 , Dr. and his immediate staff 
have begun complaining of increasingly stressful dreams. As he has 
had the most interaction with SCP-080 thus far, it has been 
theorized that SCP-080 is somehow capable of some type of 
memetic effect on nearby personnel, even if not being directly 
observed. 


Addendum 080-B: As of - -20 , following Dr. _’s recent suicide, 
all personnel located in SCP-080’s sector are to keep "dream 
journals" and are to inform site psychologists if dreams became 
increasingly violent or nightmarish in nature. 


Addendum 080-C: All staff are reminded that the black-out curtains 
in the observation room will not release if the door is not closed and 
that exposure time should not exceed thirty (80) minutes for any 
reason (see Incident 080-1). 


Addendum 080-D: It has come to the attention of senior research 
staff that some researchers are unable to see SCP-080, and may be 
entirely immune to its effects. Any personnel that thinks they are 
incapable of perceiving SCP-080, please report to Dr. for 
mandatory testing. 


Addendum 080-E: It has been suggested following Incident-080-1, 
that a class D personnel be "fed" to SCP-080 once per month in 
order to neutralize SCP-080's effect on the mental health of on-site 
personnel. (O5- : Approved) 


Incident 080-1: 


On - -20 ,Aplanned observation was conducted by 
two senior researchers. The researchers entered the 
observation room and the black-out curtains were 
released. Believing the room to be safely shielded from 


SCP-080’s effects, as it had in the past, the researchers 
began observing SCP-080. Approximately 40 minutes 
after observation began, both researchers suddenly fell 
asleep. Upon their retrieval, [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


(It should be noted that following this incident, all on-site 
personnel that had reported suffering nightmares and 
feelings of unease had a good night’s sleep and were 
generally in a more pleasant mood the following day.) 


Note: A// personnel are requested to stop referring to SCP-080 as 
"The Boogieman". - Dr.

Experiment 080-2-A: 


Date: - -20 

Subject: D-080-1, Male, 19 years old 

Procedure: Subject was sent into room with SCP-080 
Details: 


Subject entered room containing SCP-080 at 14:26. 
<Begin Log, [14:26]> 
Dr. :D-080-1, do you see anything? 
D-080-1: No. It’s pitch black in here. 
(Subject is silent for several minutes) 


D-080-1: Did you just let something in here? It feels like 
something’s watching me. 


Dr. —: No, D-080-1. We did not let anything into the 
room. 


D-080-1: What the fuck is that? (D-080-1 is seen tripping 
and falling to the floor.) 


Dr. _: What do you see? 


D-080-1: This giant blackness, like someone just 
standing in the corner. Oh God, it’s looking right at me! 
Let me out! (D-080-1 proceeds to pound on the door 
leading into the antechamber.) 


Dr. _ : It’s looking at you? Please describe its physical 
appearance. 


D-080-1: | don’t know! Oh God, let me out. | don’t want 
to be in here. (D-080-1 starts whimpering.) 


Dr. : Tell me what it looks like D-080-1. Then we can 
let you out. 


D-080-1: It- it looks like a figure, hunched in the corner. 
Dr. :lsitahuman? 


D-080-1: It’s too big to be human. (D-080-1 yawns.) It’s 
still looking at me, Doc, still staring. 


Dr. : Move closer to it. 


(D-080-1 proceeds to move to the corner of the room, 
obviously experiencing difficulty staying on his feet.) 


D-080-1: Its eyes look like vapour, just staring at me. 
Like it wants me to do someth- (D-080-1 falls to the floor 
again.) 


Dr. _: D-080-1 can you hear me? 
(Subject is unresponsive for the next 5 minutes) 
<End Log, [14:58]> 


Subject presumably collapsed. Subsequently no remains of D-080-1 
were found and it is assumed SCP-080 consumed D-080-1. 


Experiment 080-2-B: 


Date: - -20 

Subject: D-080-2, Female, 30 years old 

Procedure: Subject was sent into room with SCP-080, with intent to 
physically interact with SCP-080. 

Details: 


Subject entered room containing SCP-080 at 17:35 under instruction 
of Dr. 


<Begin Log, [17:35]> 
Dr. —_: Tell me what you see. 


D-080-2: | don’t see jack shit. Why is it so dark in here? 
(after several minutes) Holy shit, what is that? It’s just 
standing in the middle of the room. 


Dr. —_: Describe what you see. 


D-080-2: It’s just standing in the middle of the room, | 
can make out two...eyes, | guess. 


Dr. __: Could you please approach it and let us know if 
anything changes. 


D-080-2: | feel drowsy... did you slip me something, or 
what? 


Dr. —__: Reach out and touch it. Tell me what you feel. 
D-080-2: You want me to touch that thing? 
Dr. __: Yes, please proceed. 


(After a few minutes of argument, it is presumed that 
D-080-2 proceeds to touch SCP-080, at this time the 
subject becomes unresponsive.) 


<End Log, [18:12]> 


Subject was found asleep in the corner of SCP-080’s containment 
room, subject appeared to suffer no physical harm during 
experiment. Subject was interviewed after medical staff deemed 
D-080-2 to be in good physical health. (See Attached Interview Log 
080-1). 


Experiment 080-3-C: 


Date: - -20 
Subject: D-080-3, Male, 24 years old 
Procedure: Subject was sent into room with SCP-080, having been 


given a powerful amphetamine. 


Upon entering the room, subject was aavised to tell researchers 
what he saw. Subject describes a shadow-like figure in the center of 
the room. Subject was informed to stand still and inform researchers 
of any changes. Ten minutes into the experiment, subject began 
yawning and became noticeably frightened. Subject became 
uncooperative and attempted to escape the containment room. 
Upon failing to escape, subject announced an intent to harm 
SCP-080, and presumably attempted to attack it. Upon doing so, 
subject immediately collapsed. 


D-080-3’s body was recovered from SCP-080’s containment room 
soon afterwards, having apparently suffered a major heart attack. 
Upon collecting D-080-3’s body, researchers described an intense 
feeling of unease, a feeling of being watched, as well as a more 
acute awareness of SCP-080’s presence in the room. 


Interview Log 080-1: 
Interviewed: D-080-2 
Interviewer: Dr. 


Foreword: D-080-2 was interviewed following an 
inconclusive experiment involving SCP-080, where the 
subject was secured in the room with SCP-080 for 
37mins. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. _: Please describe what you remember from the 
experiment. 


D-080-2: (Dr. later notes that D-080-2 had a ‘spaced- 
out’ expression and tone of voice.) You told me to walk 
over to it and touch it, | didn’t want to, | didn’t. 


Dr. |: What happened when you touched it? 


D-080-2: When | touched it? Have you seen that thing? 
Touch it. | couldn’t move, it was staring at me, and | just 


couldn’t move. 


Dr. _: You didn’t respond for several minutes, what 
were you doing? 


D-080-2: (becoming increasingly agitated) It just stared 
at me, | couldn't move. | couldn’t breathe. (D-080-2 starts 
to hyperventilate.) 


Dr. : Calm down D-080-2, take a deep breath. Do you 
remember falling asleep? 


D-080-2: It just stared and stared, not moving but | felt 
something! | was on the floor and they were all over me. 
They’re here! (D-080-2 begins to scream and abruptly 
gets to their feet.) No, they’re trying to take me away, 
back to that thing. | won’t go back! You can’t make me 
go back in there! 


(D-080-2 lunges at Dr. __, is subsequently terminated.)

SCP-081: Spontaneous Combustion Virus 


Item #: SCP-081 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Only those with Level 4 
clearance and written permission from may have access to 
SCP-081. Full hazard gear including suit, gloves, and an oxygen 
tank must be worn at all times when in the containment area. Suits 
must be sprayed with a disinfectant shower before leaving the 
containment area. If containment is breached, the entire area must 
be exposed to ultraviolet light and then bleached. Those who are 
suspected of being infected must be quarantined for at least ten (10) 
days. If no symptoms manifest after the tenth day, then quarantine 
can be lifted. 


Description: SCP-081 is a contagious virus that appears to be a 
mutated version of the virus, but with segments in its RNA 
instead of . The virus is human specific, but is spread by rats who 
act as passive carriers. SCP-081 can also be spread through sexual 
intercourse and exposure to infected blood. 


SCP-081 infects adipocytes and leukocytes, inducing both to absorb 
nutrients at a vastly accelerated rate. As the nutrients are absorbed, 
infected B-Cells produce and secrete large quantities of a modified 
human antibody. Adipocytes expand and proliferate and the 
organism's caloric intake increases. When the concentration of 
adipose tissue reaches a critical point, the viral antibodies instigate 
systemic cell lysis, followed by an unknown process leading to the 
spontaneous combustion of the infected individual. 


There is a one (1) week incubation period before initial symptoms 
begin to occur. The duration of the symptoms depends entirely on 
the body fat percentage of the infected. Infection proceeds through 
four (4) distinct stages. 


¢ Stage 1: During the first week there are no major symptoms, 
though subjects may report being slightly tired. 


¢ Stage 2: In the second week of infection, subjects will begin to 
experience “hot flashes” and an increased appetite. 


* Stage 3: Infected subjects demonstrate extreme polyphagia. 
They will do anything in their power to obtain food or anything 
edible. During this stage, metabolism slows down significantly 
and weight gain proceeds rapidly. There is no set time that will 
elapse before the fourth and final stage. In order for the virus 
to complete its life cycle, the victim must be composed of 55% 
body fat. 


¢ Stage 4: Once the subject reaches 55% body fat, the urge to 
eat will stop, though subjects report increased instances of 
“hot flashes." Soon afterward the body will go through an 
extremely violent version of widespread cell lysis. As cells 
burst, the modified antibodies catalyze the ignition of fatty 
compounds through unknown means. The body is incinerated 
from the inside out via the wick effect, with the additional fat 
serving as a fuel source. Because stage 4 is largely 
asymptomatic, subjects are never aware when combustion will 
occur and the exact timing is apparently random. 


Addendum 081-1: The first recorded incident of SCP-081 was 
reported in 1673 by Frenchman Jonas Dupont. In his book De 
Incendiis Corporis Humani Spontaneis, he wrote about a case in 
Paris where a man was acquitted of killing his wife as the jury 
agreed that the wife died due to spontaneous human combustion. It 
should be noted that the woman was incredibly overweight at the 
time of her death. It was not until the death of Mary Reeser on July 
2nd 1951 that SCP-081 was brought to the Foundation’s attention. 
Despite the Foundation’s best efforts, this information was leaked to 
the national media along with pictures of the incident. It is believed 
that most reported cases of spontaneous human combustion are 
caused by SCP-081. 


Addendum 081-2: SCP-081 is estimated to have existed since the 
9 and thought to have originated in . Because of 
widespread poverty and malnutrition present in many European 


countries at the time, instances of third and fourth stage infections 
were rare. North America has experienced the most cases of 
SCP-081 in the last century, but because of cleaner conditions and 
active rat population control, SCP-081 cases have dropped 
significantly. Fewer than people a year die from late-stage 
SCP-081. 


Addendum 081-3: Due to the United States' current obesity 
epidemic, it is crucial that wild SCP-081 be eradicated. The 
exposure that would result from a wide scale epidemic would be 
disastrous to successful containment efforts. -Dr. 


Addendum 081-4: During testing, it has been discovered that 
people who have diabetes have a natural immunity to SCP-081. 
This has not helped in the development of a treatment for the virus, 
and it remains incurable. Wild infections [DATA EXPUNGED] and an 
alternate cause of death provided. 


Addendum 081-5: /t was discovered by Agent that SCP-081 

can spread by exposure to the ashes of a deceased victim. 

Containment and epidemic contingency protocols are being 

amended, and emergency services personnel who responded to Ms. 
‘Ss call have been detained for evaluation. -Dr.

SCP-082: "Fernand" the Cannibal 


Item #: SCP-082 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Enlarged living quarters located 
at Armed Bio-Containment Area-14 have been appropriated for the 
suppression and appeasement of SCP-082. While standard 
weapons have little effect in policing SCP-082, cooperation is easily 
attained through a charade; subject is currently under the 
impression that it has been made the King of France and that its 
containment area is actually a grand palace designed for its 
protection. All interacting personnel are to be made aware of this 
charade and are ordered to follow the ruse. Housekeeping 
personnel are to be Class D personnel only. 


Guards tasked with the containment of SCP-082 are to be given 
Level-2 clearance, but are instructed to refrain from interacting 
directly with SCP-082. 


Description: SCP-082 is genetically human; however, through 
some process (either chemical, hormonal, cancerous, or 
supernatural), SCP-082 has grown to giant proportions. 
Approximately 2.4 meters tall (around 8 ft) and weighing over 310 kg 
(about 700 Ib), SCP-082's physical characteristics are grossly 
disproportional. It has a slightly pointed balding head, a large 
rounded chin and jaw, a bulbous nose, and dark sunken eyes. 
Subject is both overweight and possesses a great amount of muscle 
mass. Forearms are muscular and dangerous, with a circumference 
of about 71 cm (about 28 in). The breadth of the subject's fist is 
nearly 30 cm along the knuckles (almost 12 in). Though feet are 
large, they are small in proportion to subject's body (men's size 14 
US). Subject's skin is tanned dark and overall physical appearance 
is compounded by numerous scars (the results of years of attempts 
at suppression and containment). Most X-rays have been difficult to 
interpret because of the high density of its muscle tissue, but scans 


have revealed countless bullets and even several knife and sword 
blades lodged in SCP-082's flesh. 


SCP-082 refers to itself as Fernand and speaks fluent French and 
heavily accented English. When it speaks, it does so through 
enormous, clenched teeth. SCP-082 only parts teeth to eat food and 
to sing. Subject will sing songs of its own pleasing, ranging from 
forgotten Victorian Era bar songs to modern classical, typically while 
cooking and eating. SCP-082 does not comb the hair on the sides of 
its head, but does cut it, and shaves with a large butcher knife 
originally provided for food preparation. It should be noted that even 
facial hair is exaggerated, a single strand being as thick as a 
millimeter (similar in thickness and appearance to graphite of a 
mechanical pencil). Occasionally, SCP-082 will clench its teeth so 
hard that the gums bleed, but it is not known why. This is considered 
normal. 


The demeanor of SCP-082 is very amicable and carefree. SCP-082 
has accrued a wide wardrobe over its time of incarceration, and it 
enjoys dressing up in many different fashions, including formal wear, 
military uniform, as a clown, and in women's clothing. New pieces 
should be made available upon request. Subject often attempts to 
joke and is usually polite to personnel, often inviting them to dinner. 
However, visiting personnel should be aware that at any moment, 
SCP-082 is capable of attacking and voraciously eating others. 
Subject will often apologize for its lack of manners for interrupting 
someone's conversation by devouring their head while making a 
mess of his quarters. SCP-082's jaw is strong enough to crack bone, 
and it seems to enjoy skulls. Attacks are seemingly at random with 
no motivation—whether or not subject has recently eaten has no 
effect on this cannibalistic hunger. 


SCP-082 is incapable of differentiating fact from fiction when he 
reads it or watches television/films. On several occasions, SCP-082 
has expressed a great desire to meet his favorite person, Hannibal 
Lecter, and subject will believe that all television programming is 
some form of reality television. Though subject has shown 
heightened intelligence in the form of memory and puzzle-solving, 
the concepts of parody, satire, and fiction are beyond its 
understanding. SCP-082 apparently understands the concept of 


lying, has shown to know when others are blatantly lying, and 
generally tells obvious falsehoods when asked about its past. 
According to SCP-082, he is: 


* A vampire 

¢ A homunculus 

* Big Bird 

¢ André the Giant 

* Napoleon 

* Obelix (sidekick of Asterix) 
¢ Dr. Bright 

¢ The Hulk 

Alexander The Great 

* Captain Hook 
Sherlock Holmes 

¢ Dr. Frankenstein 

¢ Frankenstein's Monster 


When questioned about these lies he gives the excuse, "But | only 
lie when it's through my teeth!"

SCP-083: An Abandoned Row Home 


Item #: SCP-083 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-083 is to be kept under 
constant video surveillance, with at least one Level 3 staff member 
on call at all times to respond to security breaches. Entrance to 
SCP-083 is permissible to level 1 and 2 personnel with proper 
clearances, provided they wear a tracking device while inside. 


Description: SCP-083 appears to be an uninhabited, two-story row 
house in a general state of disrepair, with an interior of 
approximately 366 square meters. It is located in the block of 

. The deed and property tax records for the address are missing 
after . The last known persons to reside at the address were the 

family, but [DATA EXPUNGED]. Until acquisition by the 
Foundation, the property was the reputed "office" for local narcotics 
dealers who gained entry to the structure through a front window, 
since the locking mechanisms on both the front and back doors 
were corroded and frozen shut. SCP-083 first came to the 
Foundation's attention on , when an altercation outside the 
building resulted in the front door being kicked in by [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


Those who entered through the door of SCP-083 (Group A) 
allegedly found themselves inside a fully-furnished and well- 
maintained home with functioning electricity and a fully-stocked 
kitchen whose appliances and decor appeared to be from the early 
20th Century. Personnel who entered through the windows (Group 
B) described the interior as "dark and dilapidated," corresponding to 
the view through the windows. Personnel in Group A also reported 
that they couldn't see, hear, or find any members of Group B inside 
the house or of anyone else besides themselves. Group B observed 
that members of Group A seemed to "vanish into thin air" upon 
crossing the door's threshold. 


Both groups inside the property not only described very different 
living conditions, but their descriptions didn't even correspond to the 
same floor plan. Their descriptions matched only in the relative 
position of the windows, since both groups saw the same street 
view. Personnel outside the house, however, reported only seeing 
members of Group B. 


These observations were repeatedly tested and confirmed by staff, 
with the additional finding that the rear door of SCP-083 also leads 
to the "furnished" interior. Any non-conventional entry (i.e., windows, 
holes in the roof, down the chimney, etc), leads to the "dilapidated" 
interior, and persons inside the different interiors are unable to 
detect each other's presence, although they both register on 
standard spectral imaging equipment, so long as said equipment is 
outside SCP-083. It was also discovered that the furnished interior is 
not static. The floor plan of SCP-083 apparently changes, with a 
different layout and different numbers and kinds of rooms 
manifesting (see Document #083-A). No clear pattern or set interval 
has been observed in the rearrangement of the interior of SCP-083, 
but the phenomenon has never been directly observed or 
experienced by personnel while inside SCP-083 (see summary of 
experiment 083-03, listed as Document #083-C). So long asa 
human presence exists inside, the floor plan seems to remain 
stable. Although the "furnished" interior appears to be well- 
maintained, no inhabitants or custodians have ever been detected. 


Addendum: It has been recommended that SCP-083 be evaluated 
as a possible autonomous object. 


Document #083-A: 


Nineteen walkthroughs of SCP-083 have been conducted to date 

, and each has produced a unique floor plan with a combined 
total of 154 different rooms, with 17 of those rooms present on more 
than one walkthrough, though in differing locations (see Document 
#083-B). The rooms conform to a variety of decorative styles, 
representative of major artistic trends of the late 19th and 20th 
centuries, complete with era-appropriate furnishings and technology. 
However, each of the 19 floor plans still equaled 366 square meters 
of space, and in each walkthrough, the front door has so far 
consistently led directly to the same Victorian front parlor, 


designated FP-0. The rear door [DATA EXPUNGED]. 
Addendum to #083-A: 


Upon comparative analysis of all recorded floorplans for SCP-083, it 
has been observed that the small door in the north wall of FP-0 
always opens up to reveal a closet. Though the dimensions and 
contents of the closets have varied considerably, a teal and white, 
"Deluxe Convertible” upright Hoover vacuum cleaner has been 
observed among the contents over 60% of the time. It is unknown 
why, of the three doors leading from FP-0, this one (and the Hoover 
vacuum within) has shown such a high level of conservation when 
none of the others have. 


Document #083-C: Summary of Experiment 083-03 


On ,Dr. entered SCP-083 through the front door and set 
up three digital video cameras. One was placed in the middle of 
FP-0, a second camera on the second floor between DR-2 and K-4, 
and a third camera in the basement room ST-1. Personnel entering 
through FP-0 Window A were unable to confirm the existence of any 
of the rooms, nor of the three cameras, though the cameras' 
locations inside SCP-083 were externally confirmed with EM 
sensors. 


Observation was conducted for a period of 48 hours, during which 
time no personnel were allowed to enter. No movements within 
SCP-083 or any of the rooms were observed, and the camera 
locations remained fixed. After 48 hours, agents were sent in to 
retrieve the three cameras, but only found one, the camera in FP-O, 
at its electronically-confirmed location. The other two cameras, and 
the rooms in which they were placed, were gone, with different 
rooms in their place. Despite this, the EM sensors continued to 
detect the electrical signatures of the other two cameras, indicating 
that they had not shifted position at all. 


Sweeps of SCP-083 were made hourly for the next 36 hours, and 
although further room rearrangements were noted, neither of the 
rigged rooms reappeared, and after 36 hours, the signals diminished 
below detection thresholds (possibly due to a loss of battery power 
in the two missing cameras). Three weeks later, ST-1 recurred on 


the second floor and its camera was recovered, with a dead battery. 
The third camera remains missing. 


Note on #083-C Memo 


Dr. requested and was granted permission to repeat 
Experiment 083-03, (catalogued as Experiment 083-05) which 
resulted in the similar inexplicable loss of six more cameras. While 
the Foundation is committed to the pursuit of scientific discovery, it 
has been decided to abandon further experimentation of this type on 
SCP-083, until a way can be found to do it without overdrafting the 
department's budget in order to replace "disappeared" equipment. 


—Dr. 
Document #083-D: 


On __ , Agent conducted a walkthrough of SCP-083 and 
reported evidence of food preparation, describing "a sound like 
banging pots and pans," and "the smell of cooking meat." Agent 

was unable to localize the source of the phenomena, nor 
even to find a kitchen. Agent did eventually encounter a 
dining room (designated DR-8), but it was clearly in a state of non- 
use. Agent estimated the sounds and smell persisted for 
approximately 20 minutes before "fading away." There were no 
other signs of intruders. 


Document #083-E: 


On _ , smoke was observed emanating from SCP-083's chimney. 
Agent was dispatched to investigate and found the location 
designated SR-12 with burning embers in the fireplace. SR-12 had 
been previously documented on SCP-083 Internal Surveys 5 and 6, 
but in both prior encounters the fireplace was cold and swept clean. 
Agent recovered a partially-burned fragment of newsprint from 
the fireplace [DATA EXPUNGED], as well as the nub of a cigar. 


A sweep of SCP-083 found no other evidence of intruders, and 
review of video surveillance confirmed no one else entering or 
leaving the house aside from appropriate personnel at expected 
intervals. Agent remained on-site until the fire was out, at 


which point smoke emanations ceased and did not recur. Agent 

made no alterations to SR-12 and left the premises at. 
Twenty-four hours later, Agent returned to SCP-083, but 
SR-12 was no longer present and has not been found on three 
subsequent walkthroughs. 


Analysis of the cigar did not produce any DNA, but did yield 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Addendum: Recommend SCP-083 be evaluated for upgrade to 
Euclid status. [Approved / / |

SCP-084: Static Tower 


Item #: SCP-084 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-084 is currently under a 
full non-interaction order until the full extent of the emission waves 
has been evaluated (for detailed documentation on general FNI 
orders, see Document XRG-1182; for detailed documentation on 
FNI orders in relation to SCP-084, see Document XRG-1208A). A 
continuous surveillance watch is to be maintained around the active 
area of SCP-084, with the primary objective of civilian misdirection 
and external surveillance. With no major roads, trails, or other travel 
routes nearby, any civilians encountered approaching SCP-084 are 
to be deemed suspect and detained for evaluation. Under no 
circumstances are any Foundation or civilian personnel allowed in to 
the active area of SCP-084, except with express vocal and written 
permission of no fewer than two (2) members of O5 Command. 


Sentries are to maintain their posted position with line-of-sight 
contact checks on fellow sentries, in conjunction with compass and 
landmark checking. All reference points should be well outside the 
active area of SCP-084. Should any sentry fail to report in via vocal 
roll-call, full recall orders will be issued to all sentries, and 
containment will be re-evaluated by Special Response teams. In the 
event of active area fluctuation, full recall orders are to be assumed 
by all active sentries, followed by appropriate action. 


No form of radio, GPS, television, cell phone, video camera, still- 
picture camera, or any other recording or electronic media devices 
are permitted within one hundred (100) meters of the active area 
around SCP-084. Civilians found with such devices within this area 
are to have said devices confiscated and destroyed immediately. 
Any recordings collected [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Description: SCP-084 appears to be a large radio tower positioned 


in the center of a large, open field with two small outbuildings. Direct 
observation and sample collection from SCP-084 is impossible, due 
to the effect that is emitted around/from SCP-084. SCP-084 appears 
to emit a form of wave or radiation that has a detrimental effect on 
local space-time/reality. The most pronounced aspect of this is the 
alteration of local space within the active area of SCP-084. 
Externally, the active area forms a rough “dome” shape of two 
hundred (200) meters in diameter. SCP-084 appears inside this area 
at random points, appearing to “jump” at random times, sometimes 
even appearing in multiple locations at once inside the active area. 
Internally, the space appears to be unlimited, with SCP-084 at the 
“center”. 


SCP-084 is impossible to reach due to the “emitted effect”. Attempts 
to approach SCP-084 within the active area have returned the 
observation that SCP-084 retains its relative position on the horizon, 
even after three months and twelve days of dedicated, direct travel 
both by vehicle and on foot. Termination tests have proved 
impossible, as no means of destruction are capable of physically 
reaching SCP-084, even when entered from outside the active area. 
Local space will also distort periodically. This will cause relative 
distances to randomly extend or contract in a “flicker”, causing 
buildings or objects to suddenly “jump” thousands of meters away, 
or “rush up” to other points, sometimes even causing “overlaps”. 
These “overlaps” have a markedly detrimental effect on living tissue. 


The town of is assumed to have been situated in or 
around the original manifestation of the active area. This town is no 
longer observable from outside the active area, appearing only once 
inside the active area. has maintained the same 
population (343 humans) for the duration of its encapsulation. Births 
appear to be impossible, along with normal aging patterns. Suicide 
and/or homicide appear to be circumvented by the area of effect, 
with dead subjects “flickering” and appearing alive and unharmed 
several seconds after death. There are also reports of events 
“rewinding”, causing things like mortal wounds to visibly “freeze” and 
close. Subjects appear to exhibit many events of inconsistent space- 
time, as do most structures (for detailed observations, see Log 084- 
A4). 


Electronic devices and recording equipment do not function correctly 
in or around the active area. Subjects report “bizarre” or “unsettling” 
transmissions from video and audio recording and playback devices. 
This acts to totally isolate from the outside world, 
precluding any need for Foundation-enacted containment. It also 
appears impossible to leave the active area after a random period of 
time. One subject from , found on the grass plane (see 
Log 084-A4), reported he had been traveling for six years. He was 
found approximately four hundred meters from city limits. 


Log 084-A4: Record of observed anomalous events relating to 
SCP-084 


« SCP-083 | SCP-084 | SCP-085 » 


Log 084 A4 


Record of observed anomalous events relating to SCP-084 


Detailed observation made of the “grass plane” making up the 
majority of the active area. The plane appears to be made of one 
ten (10) meter by ten (10) meter section of grass, repeated 
endlessly to make up the plane. Sections appear to be randomly 
“rotated” as they are formed, causing sections of grass and small 
ground variations to line up incorrectly. 


Few non-human organisms appear to exist within the active 

area. Those outside the active area avoid it, and appear to “vanish” 
shortly after entering. Animals observed inside the active area 
appear normal, but behave strangely. Shuddering movements, 
sudden “shivering”, repetitive “loops” and other abnormal actions 
appear to indicate these may not be actual animals. Most animals 
appear to “flicker” and vanish after 3-4 hours. 


Vocal communication is difficult within the active area. Vocal 
communication appears normal within five meters of the speaking 
subject, with reports of a slightly “muffled” quality reported 
commonly. Outside of five meters, subjects appear to be speaking 
from a great distance with a great deal of echoing. Reports of 
speech being heard several seconds after the subject has stopped 
speaking, and speech occurring with no subjects speaking are also 
not uncommon. 


Detailed observation of the “radio tower” is impossible due to the 
inability to physically reach it, and the effect of the “broadcast” on 
most observational equipment. Basic telescope or binoculars 
systems show the tower to be “hazy” and “static-fogged”, while more 
advanced equipment is subject to the “anomalous broadcast” effect. 


Weather patterns, as well as basic day/night cycles, appear to be 
totally random. Overhead sky will randomly cycle between day, 
night, clear, and other weather patterns. Relative sun and cloud 
position appear random as well, with frequent “flickering” and 
“blurring” between different states. 


Physical alteration or damage to anything within the active area is 
impossible. Actions such as digging, demolition, and new 
constructions will suddenly “blur” and be “reset” to their previous 
unaltered state at random points. Subjects inside a “reset” structure, 
such as inside a hole, will become instantly trapped and “fused”. 


Humans in the active area around SCP-084 exhibit some of the 
more striking and easily observed reality distortion effects. These 
include: 


* Sudden “blurring” of limbs or head, appearing to suddenly 
gyrate at violently high speed for several seconds before 
ending. Subjects experience no pain, and are often unaware 
of this phenomenon. 

“Looping”, typically manifested as the repeating of eight (8) to 
twenty (20) seconds of time. Subjects will go through an 
action (example: exiting a doorway, picking up an article of 
clothing), then suddenly “freeze” and “flicker”, then return to 
the original starting position of the “loop” and repeat the 
action, even if this involves a sudden “teleportation” of 
significant distance. Rarely, subjects appear to become 
caught in a permanent loop. 

* Observation and interrogation of subjects in show 
that basic human needs, such as food, water, and sleep are 
no longer required after prolonged exposure to the active 
area. Some subjects report not having eaten or drank for 
(they believe) five (5) years. One elderly subject also reports 
having made two thousand, one hundred and ten (2,110) 
unsuccessful suicide attempts. 

Subjects will sometimes be able to pass through solid matter 
without incident. These periods appear to last for random 


periods of time, and begin and end without warning. Subjects 
“inside” solid matter when the period ends will become 
trapped or “fused” until the period resumes. One subject 
reports being trapped below the waist in a wall for two (2) 
years. 

Extreme psychological distress is observed after long-term 
exposure. The transmissions [DATA EXPUNGED] barrier, 
which is compromised over long-term exposure. Subjects in 
advanced “reception” states typically “reset” after several 
months. 


Recorded transmissions show a slight [DATA EXPUNGED] cycles 
overall. Attempting to catalog and record these broadcasts has 
therefore been remanded to autonomous systems, to preclude any 
additional loss of Foundation personnel. 


SCP-085: Hand-drawn "Cassy" 


Item #: SCP-085 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: [Revised on - - ]. SCP-085 
is to be contained in a single chalk-white bond drawing pad in a 
secure containment facility. Supervised contact with SCP-085 is 
unrestricted to all personnel with Level-2 access. All personnel 
coming into contact with SCP-085 are subject to searches and 
random psych analysis upon entering or leaving the containment 
area. 


Absolutely no paper or canvas media are allowed to exit SCP-085's 
containment room: any paper trash must be disposed of by 
incineration after careful inspection. Paper and art supplies are to be 
brought in only by authorized personnel. In case of fire, flames are 
smothered using a rapid atmospheric-replacement and CO2- 
dumping system. Personnel are advised to quickly secure an 
oxygen mask and tank from the wall at the first sign of smoke or fire 
to prevent asphyxiation, as this procedure cannot be halted until all 
fires are suppressed. 


Description: SCP-085 is the result of an experiment conducted 
between SCP-067 and SCP-914. Using SCP-067, Test 
Subject-1101F drew a single female figure, about 15 cm (6 in) in 
height and 3.8 cm (1.5 in) wide, in summer dress with long hair 
pulled back into a ponytail, with the name "Cassandra" written 
underneath. Dr. [EXPUNGED] proposed using SCP-914 on various 
settings on images created by SCP-067: Using the [Fine] setting, the 
‘Cassandra’ sketch was transmuted into her present form: a sentient 
black-and white-animated young woman drawn in clean strokes. 
Further attempts to duplicate this result have been unsuccessful. 


SCP-085 prefers to be called 'Cassy.' She is completely sentient 
and, as of - -  , aware of her 2D form and her limitations in a 


three-dimensional world. Although her voice is inaudible, she has 
learned to communicate with SCP Foundation personnel through 
sign language and writing. SCP-085 may be communicated with by 
writing text on the paper she exists on. Personnel report that she is 
amicable and motivated, albeit lonely. 


SCP-085 can interact with any drawn object on the same page as if 
it were real. For example, she is able to wear drawn clothing, drive 
sketched cars, and drink painted beverages. Except for animals and 
people, any drawn object becomes animated when in contact with 
SCP-085, but immediately ceases and holds position once out of 
contact. Artwork initially depicted as in motion such as ocean waves 
and swaying trees animate to an equilibrium state and stay at rest 
until acted upon by SCP-085. 


SCP-085 has also demonstrated the ability to transfer from one 
sheet or image to another, as long as the two are flush. In the event 
SCP-085 enters a picture that does not support drawn objects (such 
as a repeating pattern), the picture is converted to a background 
image. SCP-085 perceives the picture as an endless plane of the 
image drawn upon it. 


At the present time, SCP-085 can only exist upon paper or canvas 
surfaces: SCP-085 cannot transfer onto photos, cardboard, glass, or 
parchment. When entering other pieces of art, SCP-085 takes on 
the artistic style of her new environment (whether it be a comic 
book, an oil painting, watercolor, or charcoal sketching). Note: in 
comic form, her voice is visible as thought and voice bubbles around 
her head in typical comic fashion, and as she moves between 
panels the perspective and her relative size are altered 
appropriately. 


Document #085-1: Introduction to several prints authored by MC 
Escher. 


Researcher: Cassandra, this is known as "Ascending 
and Descending". What do you think? 

(At this point, SCP-085 walks a few times around the 
staircase) 

SCP-085: It's pretty, | guess. Would make a neat 


exercise track. 

Researcher: You see nothing inconsistent with the 
staircase? 

SCP-085: No, as far as | can tell it just loops around 
down/up all the time. Why don't more staircases do that? 
It's pretty neat. 


After this session, SCP-085 requested several 'impossible' objects in 
her own environment. These requests are pending O5 review. 


Document #085-2: Incident 085-A 


Priorto - - ,SCP-085 was unaware of its status as a 2- 
Dimensional object in a 3-Dimensional world: prior security protocols 
required that SCP-085 be kept unaware of its true nature in order to 
prevent psychological distress: discrepancies with the perceived 
"real world" were presented as dreams or nightmares, and an effort 
was made to present SCP-085 with a scenario in which it was the 
last surviving human in a post-apocalyptic world, searching for 
survivors. 


The deception was quickly broken following an incident where an 
SCP Foundation researcher accidentally brought a hard copy of 
SCP-085's Special Containment Procedures Report into the 
containment facility and allowed it to contact the artifact's current 
location. SCP-085 transferred onto the document before the 
researcher could remove it, and was immediately made aware of its 
true nature. 


Because of the containment breach, several researchers advocated 
immediate destruction of the artifact. The decision was appealed to 
the O5-Council, which, ina to decision, advocated for SCP-085's 
continued existence. 


Since the revelation of her true nature, observers have noted that 
SCP-085 has begun to show signs of clinical depression. 
Psychotherapy has been proposed, but the nature of the artifact's 
state of existence may make it difficult. 


Some success has been had by providing SCP-085 tangible means 


to distract herself from her condition. In addition to the 
aforementioned optical illusions, SCP-085 expressed particular 
interest in a set of technical drawings for a 1964 Ford Mustang 
Convertible, transferring the parts one by one to a more naturalistic 
artwork, then assembling the vehicle by hand over the period of a 
year—gasoline being provided through a Norman Rockwell print of a 
gas station attendant. 


Requests for further diversions of this nature are pending O5-level 
review and approval.

SCP-086: The Office of Dr. [REDACTED] 


Item #: SCP-086 
Object Class: Safe Euclid Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-086 is contained within 
Office A-19, at Bio-Research Station 71. The secretarial post outside 
the door is to be staffed by 1 (one) armed guard. All components of 
SCP-086 are to be kept within 6 (six) meters of each other. 


SCP-086-1 is to be kept on the office desk, with a single connection 
to the telephone at the secretary's post. All communications 
between SCP-086 and personnel are to be recorded, transcribed, 
and archived. 


Every 6 (six) days, SCP-086-2 is to be used to sharpen 4 (four) 
standard commercially-purchased 16 (sixteen)-cm HB pencils, 
continuing until at least 95% (ninety-five) of the mass of each pencil 
has been converted into pencil shavings. SCP-086-2 is not to be 
emptied, even if personnel judge that it has become clogged; in 
such an eventuality, personnel are to wait 10 (ten) minutes, and then 
resume sharpening. 


Every 7 (seven) days, SCP-086-3 is to be filled with a block of 200 
(two hundred) standard commercially-purchased staples. 


Every 20 (twenty) days, SCP-086-4 is to be filled with 15 (fifteen) 
sheets of standard commercially-purchased microfilm blank 
cellulose acetate film, produced onsite. 


SCP-086-5 is to be drained of waste matter whenever it fills more 
than halfway; the waste matter is to be incinerated. 


All reading material requested by SCP-086 must be approved by 
Site Command. All research proposals made by SCP-086 must be 
approved by two O5-level personnel. 


Description: SCP-086 is a collective sessile organism whose 
component parts resemble items of office equipment from 1978, and 
which contains a consciousness claiming to be that of former 
Foundation administrator Dr. [REDACTED] (1907-1978). Its 8 (eight) 
components are: a rotary telephone (SCP-086-1), a wall-mounted 
pencil sharpener (SCP-086-2), a desk stapler (SCP-086-3), a 
microfiche reader (SCP-086-4), a water cooler (SCP-086-5), a filing 
cabinet (SCP-086-6), a scientific calculator (GCP-086-7), and a slide 
rule (SCP-086-8). No physical connection or electromagnetic 
transmission between any of these components has been detected. 


Each component of SCP-086 is composed of biological material, 
contained within a carapace made of varying amounts of chitin, 
keratin, and calcium carbonate, as well as trace amounts of nylon, 
rayon, and polyester. DNA analysis reveals that the tissues 
contained within SCP-086 are partially of human origin, and [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


SCP-086-1 contains a large mass of neural tissue which functions 
as a brain, despite several conformational and anatomical 
irregularities; this brain hosts the majority of SCP-086's 
consciousness. 


SCP-086-1 also contains an ear-equivalent (tympanum, ossicles, 
etc.) in the receiver's mouthpiece, allowing SCP-086 to hear. 
SCP-086 is able to speak (in an exact match of Dr. [REDACTED]'s 
voice and accent) via the earpiece, although radiological and 
ultrasound examination have not revealed any laryngeal structures. 
SCP-086-1 is also capable of ringing; however, SCP-086 has stated 
that ringing "gives (it) a headache"; consequently, the only 
circumstances under which it rings are when awakening from sleep 
(at which point it rings twice in rapid succession) and when in 
distress (at which point it rings "SOS" in Morse code). 


SCP-086-2, -3, and -4 function as food-intake organs: SCP-086-2 
consumes pencil shavings, SCP-086-3 consumes staples, and 
SCP-086-4 consumes microfilm. SCP-086-5 functions as a 
combination bladder-and-bowel equivalent, storing metabolic 
wastes. 


SCP-086-6 contains several organs which appear to combine 


sensory and manipulatory functions; SCP-086 has proven capable 
of reading printed material and physically manipulating small items 
(for instance, turning pages and alphabetizing documents), when 
they are placed within SCP-086-6. At SCP-086's request, it is 
regularly provided with non-classified reading material and non- 
classified clerical work. 


The biological functions of SCP-086-7 and -8 have not been 
determined; however, SCP-086 has stated that it experiences 
significant discomfort and confusion when they are removed from its 
vicinity, and it is therefore speculated that they have some role in its 
cognition. Although SCP-086-7 accepts input, its output seems to be 
random glyphs and LED 'noise’. 


SCP-086 has demonstrated that it has full access to Dr. 
[REDACTED]'s memories, and all tests indicate a 100% match with 
pre-existing psychological profiles of Dr. [REDACTED]. However, 
SCP-086 has pointed out that there is no way to confirm that it 
actually thinks of itself as Dr. [REDACTED], and that it may be an 
alien intelligence expertly posing as Dr. [REDACTED], or a "sleeper" 
persona which sincerely believes itself to be Dr. [REDACTED]. 


Acquisition Log: 


SCP-086 is presumed to have been created on June 12, 1978, 
when Dr. [REDACTED] was presumed killed by the PN-class events 
resulting from the decommissioning of SCP- _. On June 20, 1978, 
Dr. [REDACTED]'s office was being emptied by maintenance 
personnel so that it could be assigned to his successor. At this point, 
SCP-086-1 began ringing repeatedly, despite not being connected 
to a telephone jack. Maintenance personnel notified level-3 
operatives, who answered SCP-086-1. 


During the subsequent conversation, SCP-086 identified itself as Dr. 
[REDACTED], and then ordered level-3 personnel to revoke its 
security clearance, and to make a full report of its existence and 
properties to O5-level personnel. 


Dr. [REDACTED] was given a posthumous commendation for 
meritorious conduct in either reporting himself as an SCP, or in 
influencing the anomalous entity emulating his behavior into doing 


SO. 


NOTE: SCP-086 was originally classified as ‘Safe’, but it has stated 
that because it is a sapient entity with anomalous biology and 
metabolism, and with access to the full memories of an SCP 
Foundation administrator who previously had level-4 security 
clearance, it should be classified as "Euclid". 


NOTE: Although we appreciate SCP-086's conscientiousness, there 
is at this time no pressing reason to classify it as "Euclid". If 
circumstances change, we'll reconsider. - O5-

SCP-087: The Stairwell 


Item #: SCP-087 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-087 is located on the 
campus of [REDACTED]. The doorway leading to SCP-087 is 
constructed of reinforced steel with an electro-release lock 
mechanism. It has been disguised to resemble a janitorial closet 
consistent with the design of the building. The lock mechanism on 
the doorknob will not release unless volts are applied in 
conjunction with counter-clockwise rotation of the key. The inside of 
the door is lined with 6 centimeters of industrial foam padding. 


Due to the results of the final exploration (see Document 087-IV), no 
personnel are permitted access to SCP-087. 


Description: SCP-087 is an unlit platform staircase. Stairs descend 
on a 38 degree angle for 13 steps before reaching a semicircular 
platform of approximately 3 meters in diameter. Descent direction 
rotates 180 degrees at each platform. The design of SCP-087 limits 
subjects to a visual range of approximately 1.5 flights. A light source 
is required for any subjects exploring SCP-087, as there are no 
lighting fixtures or windows present. Lighting sources brighter than 
75 watts have shown to be ineffective, as SCP-087 seems to absorb 
excess light. 


Subjects report and audio recordings confirm the distressed 
vocalizations from what is presumed to be a child between the ages 
of and . The source of the distress calls is estimated to be located 
approximately 200 meters below the initial platform. However, any 
attempts to descend the staircase have failed to bring subjects 
closer to the source. The depth of descent calculated from 
Exploration IV, the longest exploration, is shown to be far beyond 
both the possible structure of both the building and geological 
surroundings. At this time, it is unknown if SCP-087 has an 


endpoint. 


SCP-087 has undergone four video recorded explorations by Class- 
D personnel. Each subject conducting an exploration has 
encountered SCP-087-1, which appears as a face with no visible 
pupils, nostrils, or mouth. The nature of SCP-087-1 is entirely 
unclear, but it has been determined that it is not the source of the 
pleading. Subjects exhibit feelings of intense paranoia and fear 
when faced with SCP-087-1, but it is undetermined whether said 
feelings are abnormal or simply natural reactions. 


Addendum: 

Over a period of 2 weeks following Exploration IV, several members 
of the staff and students from the [REDACTED] campus reported 
knocking at a variable rate of 1-2 seconds per knock coming from 
the interior of SCP-087. The door leading to SCP-087 has been 
fitted with 6 centimeter thick industrial padding. All reports of 
knocking have ceased. 


Authorized personnel may refer to documents 087-! through 087-IV

Document #087-| 


Document #087-I: Exploration | 


D-8432 is a 43-year old Caucasian male of average build and 
appearance and unremarkable psychological background. Class-D 
designation is a result of demotion due to mishandling SCP- . 
D-8432 is equipped with a 75 watt flood lamp with battery power 
capable of lasting 24 hours, a handheld camcorder fitted with a 
transmission stream, and an audio headset for communication with 
Dr. at Control. 


D-8432 steps through doorway onto initial platform. Despite the 
wattage, the flood lamp only illuminates the first 9 steps. The second 
platform is not visible. 


D-8432: It's fucking dark. 
Dr. : Is your flood lamp functioning properly? 


D-8432 shines the light out the door and into the academic building's 
hallway. The light reaches significantly further. 


D-8432: Yeah, it's working, it just won't light these stairs all the way 
down. 
Dr. : Thank you. Please continue. 


D-8432 descends for 13 steps before reaching the second platform. 
The platform is in the shape of a semicircle with an apparently 
concrete surface and walls. There are no distinct markings, aside 
from nondescript patches of dust, dirt, or wear consistent with that 
which is found in a typical concrete stairwell. D-8432 rotates 180 
degrees to begin descent down the second flight, then pauses. 


Dr. : Reason for stopping? 
D-8432: You hear that? There's a fucking kid down there. Sounds 
like one. 


None of the described audio is feeding through the camera or mic at 
this time. 


Dr. : Could you please describe the sound? 

D-8432: It's young. Either female or a very young boy. It's crying and 
sobbing and saying [pause] please [pause] help [pause] please 
[pause] Yeah, it keeps repeating that and crying. 


Dr. : Can you estimate its distance from your current location? 
D-8432: Uh, fuck, | don't know, maybe 200 meters down? 
Dr. : Please continue down the next flight. 


The subject descends another 13 steps. As he reaches the landing, 
audio of the child as described is picked up. The child alternates 
between sobbing, wailing, and the words "please," "help," and "down 
here." The level of audio is consistent with D-8432's report of it 
being approximately 200 meters below. 


Dr. : Can you still hear the crying? 
D-8432: Yeah. 
Dr. : We're picking it up as well. Please continue down. Stop if 


you notice any changes in the audio or environment. 
The subject descends another 3 flights of stairs before stopping. 


D-8432: Keep going? 
Dr. : Please. 


D-8432 continues another 17 flights (total of 22 flights) before 
stopping. There are no visual changes in the environment, and each 
flight has been a consistent 13 steps. 


D-8432: I'm not getting any fucking closer to the kid. 


Stereo audio confirms that the crying noise has not increased in 
volume and remains approximately 200 meters below the subject. 


Dr. : Noted. Please continue. 


The subject continues another 28 flights before stopping. (50 flights 
total.) D-8432 is standing on the 51st landing, counting the initial 
ground level landing. D-8432 is estimated to be 200 meters below 
the initial platform. 34 minutes have elapsed. The volume of the 


crying has not increased. 


D-8432: | feel a little uneasy. 
Dr. : You've spent a long time in a dark, unknown stairwell. It's 
natural. Please continue. 


The subject hesitates before stepping down on the next stair. As the 
subject moves forward, the flood lamp illuminates a face located 
approximately at the bottom of the flight (SCP-087-1). It appears to 
be the same size and shape as a human head, except it is lacking a 
mouth, nostrils, and pupils. The face is completely motionless, but is 
making direct eye contact, indicating its awareness of D-8432. 


D-8432: [Yelling] Fuck! What the fuck is that? Shit! Holy fucking shit. 
What the fuck! 

Dr. : Can you please describe what you see? 

D-8432: It's some sort of fucking person face thing and it's fucking 
looking right at me fuck fuck fuck it's looking right at me — 

Dr. Is it moving? 

D-8432: [pause, heavy breathing] No, it's just staring at me. Fuck 
fuck fuck it's creepy. 

Dr. : Please approach and further illuminate the entity. 

D-8432: Fuck fuck fuck | don't want to fucking — 


The face jerks forward about 50 centimeters directly toward D-8432. 
D-8432: [yelling] Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck [REDACTED] 


D-8432 enters a panicked state and rapidly ascends SCP-087. 
D-8432 reaches the ground floor in 18 minutes, at which time he 
collapses and passes out. There is no sign of SCP-087-1. Review of 
the footage indicates an equal number of flights and steps 
ascending as descending. Audio of the crying and pleading remains 
at the same volume until the last flight, at which point it ceases. 
Medical reports indicate collapse was a result of the rapid ascension 
of the stairs, causing fatigue.

Document #087-II: Exploration II 


D-9035 is a 28-year old African-American male of strong build. 
Psychological background indicates no abnormalities except an 
extreme hatred for women. Subject has an extensive record of 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. D-9035 is equipped with a 100 watt flood lamp 
with battery power capable of lasting 24 hours, a handheld 
camcorder fitted with a transmission stream, and an audio headset 
for communication with Dr. at Control. D-9035 is also equipped 
with a backpack containing 100 small LED lights with adhesive 
backs and battery lives of approximately 3 weeks. Lights turn on and 
off by compressing them. 


D-9035 shines the flood lamp down the first flight of stairs. Despite 
the extra wattage, the light does not illuminate beyond the 9th step. 


D-9035: You wan' me to go down there, Doc? 
Dr. : Please shine your flood lamp outside of SCP-087 to verify it 
is functioning properly. 


D-9035 shines the light into the hallway. Comparison with the 
footage from Exploration | confirms it is indeed brighter. 


Dr. : Thank you. Please continue to the first landing. 
D-9035: Hey Doc, | know what you said an’ all, but | don’ think | 
wanna go there. 


Dr. : Please continue to the first landing. 
D-9035: Doc, look, I- 
Dr. : [interrupting] As per our earlier conversation, please 


continue to the first landing. 


D-9035 pauses for 18 seconds, then descends 13 steps to the first 
landing and stops. 


D-9035: Is that a kid? 


Dr. : Please remove one of the adhesive lights and affix it to the 
wall on the landing. 

D-9035: Doc, you hear that? Is that a kid down there? 

Dr. : That's unconfirmed. Please affix an adhesive light to the 
wall and verify it functions. 


D-9035 hesitates, then removes one of the lights from his backpack 
and adheres it to the wall. He presses on the light, and it turns on. 


Dr. : Please turn off your flood lamp. 


D-9035 hesitates again before turning off the lamp. The LED light 
illuminates the landing, but does not extend beyond the first step 
either way. 


Dr. : Thank you. You may turn your flood lamp back on. Please 
continue to descend. At each landing, affix an LED light to the wall 
and turn it on. If you notice anything unusual, please report it. 


D-9035 turns the flood lamp back on, then descends the next flight 
of stairs. As he sets foot on the landing, the audio picks up sounds 
of pleading and crying, consistent with those of the first exploration. 


Dr. : Can you still hear the previously reported audio? 

D-9035: Uh, yeah. She sounds ‘bout 150, maybe 200 meters down. 
Am | supposed to get her? Look, Doc. | don't do good with kids. 

Dr. : Please place the light and continue down until you notice 
anything unusual. 


The subject adheres the light to the wall and turns it on, then 
continues to the next landing. He adheres the third LED light to the 
wall and turns it on. D-9035 continues in this manner for the next 25 
flights before stopping. 


D-9035: | don't think I'm getting any closer to the kid, doc. 


Dr. : How far below would you estimate the source of the sound 
to be? 

D-9035: Same as before. 150 to 200 meters down. 

Dr. : Thank you. Please proceed. 


D-9035 continues in the same fashion for the next 24 flights. At the 


51st landing he stops. Footage shows an arced gouge in the 
concrete wall, estimated to be approximately 50 centimeters long 
and 10 centimeters wide. The first step down from the landing 
appears to be completely smashed into rubble. 


D-9035: You see that? 

Dr. : Yes. Can you please describe what you see? 

D-9035: Looks like something slashed at the wall, and the step over 
here's all crumbled up and stuff. The slash mark looks really smooth 


D-9035 touches the gouge mark. 


D-9035: Yeah, it's smooth. Feels like glass. 


Dr. : Thank you. Please continue down. 
D-9035: Look, Doc. | think I've gone far enough. 
Dr. : Please continue, as per our agreement. 


D-9035: | don't wanna be doing this, agreement or not. 
[DATA EXPUNGED] 


D-9035 steps over the destroyed step and continues down the 
staircase. Nothing is notable at the next landing. D-9035 adheres an 
LED light to the wall and continues in the same fashion for another 
38 flights. The sound of the crying and pleading still has not gotten 
closer. D-9035 is on the 89th landing and 74 minutes have elapsed 
from the beginning of the exploration. Subject is estimated to be 350 
meters below the initial platform. 


D-9035: | feel like the kid's just trying to lure me down here, Doc. | 
think it's time for me to— 


D-9035 stops talking and moving as the flood lamp illuminates 
SCP-087-1. The face is staring directly at D-9035, again indicating 
awareness of the subject's presence. Although SCP-087-1 appears 
to be unmoving, its location is 38 flights below the initial encounter in 
Exploration I, indicating it is mobile. 


Dr. : ls there a reason you stopped? 
D-9035: [unresponsive] 


D-9035's breathing grows labored. SCP-087-1 remains immobile for 
an additional 13 seconds. SCP-087-1 blinks. 


D-9035: /yelling, incomprehensible] 


SCP-087-1 jerks forward until it is approximately 90 centimeters 
from D-9035. Subject turns and flees up the stairs. 


Dr. : Please relax and calm down. Turn around. We need a 
closer look at the face. 


D-9035 ignores Dr. and continues rapid ascent. He continues to 
scream incomprehensibly. 


Dr. : D-9035, can you hear me? Please slow down. 


D-9035 is unresponsive and continues rapidly climbing the stairs. 
His screaming diminishes to babbling. After ascending 72 flights, 
D-9035 collapses on the 17th landing. 


Dr. : D-9035, can you hear me? 


D-9035 is unresponsive, but labored breathing can be heard through 
the audio feed. For the next 14 minutes, D-9035 is immobile. The 
visual feed is black, and audio picks up only the subject's breathing 
and the continuous pleading coming from below. After 14 minutes 
and 32 seconds of unchanging visual and audio feeds, the sound of 
a rapid heartbeat not consistent with a human heartbeat, and a low 
cracking noise is heard. 7 seconds later, D-9035 gasps and revives, 
continuing his ascent of the stairs rapidly and wordlessly. The 
heartbeat and cracking cease, and nothing abnormal is detected on 
the visual feed. He remains unresponsive. D-9035 exits SCP-087 
and sits on the floor outside of the entrance. 


D-9035 then enters a catatonic state from which he has not yet 
recovered.

Document #087-IIl: Exploration III 


D-9884 is a 23-year old female of average build and appearance. 
Psychological background indicates a history of depression. Subject 
has a minimal record of using excessive force to [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. D-9884 is equipped with a 75 watt flood lamp with 
battery power capable of lasting 24 hours, a handheld camcorder 
fitted with a transmission stream, and an audio headset for 
communication with Dr. at Control. D-9884 is also equipped with 
a backpack containing 3.75 litres of water, 15 nutrient bars, and 1 
thermal blanket. 


D-9884 stands on the ground level landing of SCP-087. The flood 
lamp illuminates only the first 9 steps. LED lights placed on the wall 
during the last exploration are not visible. 


Dr. : Please descend the first flight and examine the landing 
wall. 


D-9884 descends 13 steps and stops at the landing. There is no 
trace of the LED light at the location footage from Exploration II 
indicates it was placed. 


D-9884: Yeah, um, it's just a dirty, concrete wall. There's like nothing 
on it. No, wait. It's a little bit sticky right here. 


D-9884 indicates the spot on the wall the LED light should have 
been located. 


D-9884: There's a child crying down there! She's [pause] she's 
begging for help and crying. 

Dr. : Thank you. Please continue down the steps until you notice 
anything unusual. 


D-9884 descends. Upon reaching the next landing, audio of the 


crying child consistent with the prior two explorations is picked up. 
No LED lights appear to be present on any of the landing walls. 
D-9884 continues with no incident until she reaches the 17th 
landing. 


D-9884: Eww, there's something on the ground here and it smells 
really bad. It's all sticky and stuck on my shoe. Ugh, it's so gross. 


Video feed confirms presence of substance occupying a space 
approximately 50 centimeters in diameter. 


Dr. : Can you describe the scent? 
D-9884: Uh... It kinda smells like old rusty metal and pee. 
Dr. : Thank you. Please continue until you notice anything else. 


D-9884 continues to the 51st landing without incident. The 51st 
landing remains unchanged from the previous expedition, and 
similar observations are made. D-9884 is asked again to descend 
until anything unusual is noticed. Subject continues her descent until 
the 89th landing is reached. The video feed jerks and the subject 
yells. 


D-9884: Ahh, fuck! There's a hole in the ground and | almost fell in. 


Video feed confirms the presence of a hole approximately 1 meter in 
diameter. The subject shines the floodlight down, revealing only 
blackness. Approximately 4 seconds pass, and a light of an 
indeterminate distance down the hole flicks on for approximately 2 
seconds and then back off. 


D-9884: There was a light down there! It's gone now, but it was on 
for like a second! Did you see it? 

Dr. : Yes. Can you estimate the depth of this hole? 

D-9884: No way. It's too deep. At least a kilometer. Like, way more 
than a kilometer. 

Dr. : Thank you. Can you still hear the sounds of the child? 
D-9884: Uh huh. She still sounds far away. | don't feel like I'm 
getting any closer. It's like for every step | take, she takes one down. 
Dr. : Please continue down until you encounter anything 
unusual. 


D-9884 continues to descend SCP-087 for approximately an hour, 
covering an additional 164 flights. She stops to rest on the 253rd 
landing, consuming 1 nutrient bar and several gulps of water. 
D-9884 is at an estimated 1.1 kilometers below the initial landing, 
yet the sound of the child has not changed in volume. After pausing 
for 4 minutes, D-9884 resumes her descent, making no stops for 
another 216 flights, 1.5 hours later. D-9884 is on the 469th landing, 
an approximate 1.8 km below the ground level. 


D-9884: I'm not getting anywhere. | think it's time | went back. | 
mean, going down is one thing, but this is a long climb back. 

Dr. : You have been provided with food, water, and blankets to 
last you 24 hours. Please continue down. 

D-9884: No, | think I'm gonna go back up. 


D-9884 turns toward the previous flight of stairs. 
D-9884: | - [screams] 


SCP-087-1, the face, is directly behind D-9884, blocking her ascent. 
The face appears approximately 30 centimeters from the lens of the 
camera; its eyes are fixed directly on the lens, this time looking not 
at the subject but the person viewing the video feed. The video feed 
glitches and freezes for 4 seconds, accompanied by a static-like 
screeching noise from the audio feed. It then cuts to bumpy visuals 
of D-9884 descending the stairs rapidly. 


D-9884: [panicked and hysterical] It's been following me! This whole 
time it's been right behind me oh God it's right behind me it was 
looking right at me! Dr. please do something please help me oh 
God no please get it away please no please | knew it was following 
me help make it leave please no it was looking at me it was staring 
at me it knew | was here it's been watching me this whole time oh 
God please help me no please /this continues in a similar fashion 
until the end.] 


D-9884 continues to scream and plead hysterically as she rapidly 
descends the staircase. The previously heard static-like screeching 
seems to overlay the audio feed, beneath which can still be heard 
the original sound of the crying child. Approximately 14 flights down, 
the video feed swings to show the area directly behind D-9884. The 


face is now approximately 20 centimeters from the camera lens. It is 
not staring at the subject; rather it is fixated on the camera lens, 
giving the illusion it is making eye contact with those viewing the 
footage. It is important to note that since the sighting of SCP-087-1, 
the sound of the girl crying and pleading has been increasing in 
volume, indicating D-9884 is nearing the source. After an 
approximate 150 panicked flights of descent with 3 visual 
confirmations of SCP-087-1 still in pursuit, D-9884 trips and appears 
to fall unconscious. Audio feed indicates strong proximity to the 
source of the crying. The static and screeching noise continue. 
Video feed shows yet another descending flight of stairs, indicating 
D-9884 still has not reached the base of the stairwell. 12 seconds of 
motionlessness pass before the face comes in full view of the 
camera, eye contact being made directly with the viewer. 


Audio and video feeds cut out, and no connection is reestablished. 


SCP-088: The Lizard King 


Item #: SCP-088 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-088 is to remain sealed in 
its airtight case at all times. The case is constructed of transparent 
acrylic plastic to resist the corrosive properties of SCP-088's 
secretions. In the event that SCP-088 should awaken from 
hibernation, any room that it is stored within should be constructed 
of durable plastics, rubber or ceramics to hinder its ability to escape. 
Temperature of SCP-088's containment should not exceed 15 
degrees Celsius, and any personnel entering containment must 
observe level 4 hazardous material protocols and wear the 
appropriate protective gear at all times. 


Any personnel who do not observe proper containment protocols in 
presence of SCP-088 or who show signs of physical mutation are to 
be demoted to D-class and held for observation. 


Description: SCP-088 is a humanoid with reptilian features which 
appears to have been mummified in a languid posture. However, 
SCP-088 is merely in a state of hibernation from which it may 
recover if it is again exposed to a more hospitable environment than 
its current containment. Research has indicated that SCP-088 is 
approximately 6000 years old and is capable of secreting a variety 
of hazardous biological compounds from its mouth and hands. 
Some of these substances could be of great strategic value if 
replicated, but until a means to extract them without awakening 
SCP-088 is found, research into this area is on hold. 


SCP-088 was recovered with the mummified remains of 23 beings 
sharing a similar morphology. However, none of these beings were 
alive and examination suggests that they were originally human. 
Information obtained by Agents E088-3 and E088-7 and their 
subsequent mutation due to SCP-088 exposure corroborates this 


theory. 


Addendum: SCP-088 was recovered in 193 from a subterranean 
complex below Los Angeles, California. The site was originally 
discoveredbyG.W §& using a device he called a "radio X- 
ray," which was little more than a mechanical dowsing rod. While 
S's methods were dubious, his discovery was not. After mapping 
a series of tunnels and gold deposits below the city, S declared 
that he had found the lost city of the Lizard People as described in 
the legends of Arizona's Hopitribe.S —_'s claims went as far as to 
be featured on the front page of the Los Angeles Times on January 
29th, 1934, before the Foundation was able to verify his claims and 
silence Mr. S 


The subterranean complex was not nearly as extensive as 
described in legend, and most of the artifacts recovered within were 
too corroded to provide significant information, save for a long 
message carved into the rock wall of an unfinished tunnel. For 
partial translation of this text, see Document 088-14. 


Containment breach overview: In more than 70 years of 
containment, SCP-088 has only roused from its state of hibernation 
twice, breaching containment with a caustic fluid that dissolves most 
minerals and metals. Each time multiple personnel were exposed to 
a second compound which SCP-088 uses to propagate itself: 
affected personnel underwent a painful mutation after which they 
shared the physical characteristics of SCP-088. Those few who 
received a large dosage of the compound, administered directly via 
mouth-to-mouth contact, were changed the fastest and 
subsequently sacrificed themselves to protect SCP-088 from harm. 
SCP-088 has also demonstrated the ability to produce potent 
neurotoxins in liquid and gaseous form to combat containment 
personnel. 


Containment during the second breach was reachieved by isolating 
SCP-088 and affected personnel in the facility and lowering the 
temperature. Affected personnel built a pedestal from discarded 
equipment, upon which SCP-088 took a recumbent position before 
slipping back into hibernation. The mutated personnel were 
neutralized at this point and SCP-088 was returned to containment. 


The current strategy of lowered temperature and non-metallic 
containment has been successful in keeping SCP-088 isolated. 
SCP-088 was reclassified to Safe status on November , 19 .

SCP-089: Tophet 


Item #: SCP-089 
Object Class: Euclid (see below) 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-089 is stored in a special 
shipping container at Site-36 and monitored for locution events. 
Mobile Task Force Mu-89, consisting of personnel with advanced 
training in linguistics, psychology and tactical diplomacy, has been 
established in order to respond to such locution events. Upon the 
occurrence of a locution event, Mobile Task Force Mu-89 is to 
translate and interpret the locution so as to identify the primary 
subjects of that triggering (herein designated as SCP-089-A and 
SCP-089-B), then execute Protocol M8, which consists of the 
following steps: 


1. Transport SCP-089 to SCP-089-A’s location and explain 
Protocol M8 to SCP-089-B; and 

2. At such time as SCP-089-B is prepared to voluntarily execute 
Protocol M8, render to SCP-089-B any assistance as 
SCP-089-B may request in connection with SCP-089-B 
performing the following actions: inserting SCP-089-A into the 
cavity together with inflammable materials such as oiled wood 
or charcoal, then igniting them. 


The successful execution of Protocol M8 requires the voluntary 
compliance of SCP-089-B in a sober and uncoerced state. Likewise, 
SCP-089-A must be conscious and alert during the execution of the 
protocol. It is recommended that SCP-089-B be restrained (although 
not sedated) following ignition so as to avoid interference with the 
completion of the protocol, as the process is extremely painful and 
fatal to SCP-089-A. 


If SCP-089-B refuses to voluntarily execute Protocol M8 in 
accordance with the aforementioned specifications, MTF Mu-839 is to 
explain the prospective consequences of failing to successfully 


complete the protocol and make every effort to persuade SCP-089- 
B to cooperate. If MTF Mu-89’s best efforts to so persuade 
SCP-089-B are unsuccessful, SCP-089 is to be redesignated as 
Keter-class and Protocol M9 is to be executed (reference Document 
089-M9). The use of intimidation, threats or mind-altering drugs or 
intoxicants in an effort to affect SCP-089-B's free will, and any 
attempt to complete Protocol M8 without SCP-089-B's participation 
or voluntary cooperation, or otherwise other than as described, are 
strictly prohibited since these measures invalidate the attempted 
completion of the protocol and are known to intensify the severity of 
the attendant Type-S Event. 


It is also recommended (although not a required part of Protocol M8) 
to cause the execution of step 2 of Protocol M8 to be accompanied 
by the sounding of horns and percussion instruments, as doing so 
may mask the sounds made by SCP-089-A during the execution of 
the protocol. 


Upon a successful execution of Protocol M8, the related Type-S 
Event generally begins to abate within 7 hours. 


Description: SCP-089 is a glazed earthenware statue, 
approximately 3 meters in height, depicting a winged, bull-headed 
humanoid with an open mouth. The front of the statue’s torso is 
hinged and can be opened from the top to reveal a cavity, 
approximately 0.6 cubic meters in volume, and can be locked from 
the outside. The rear of the statue bears an inscription in a 
Canaanite language (possibly Punic).! The statue dates from 
approximately the 2nd century BCE. 


On infrequent occasions (sometimes separated by periods in excess 
of a century), the statue speaks. The mechanism by which these 
sounds are made is not understood, and the mouth of the statue 
does not move. The statue’s locutions are in a Canaanite language 
(probably the same language as the inscription) and consist of: 


¢ the name, or a description, of SCP-089-A; 

* ademand for Protocol M8 to be accomplished, together with 
instructions for doing so; and 

* adescription of the attendant Type-S Event, in figurative 
language 


Each locution event is followed, within a period of three to eleven 
days, by the commencement of a Type-S Event meeting the 
description given in the locution event, unless Protocol M8 has 
already been completed. Each Type-S event is an epidemic, natural 
disaster, mass hysteria involving genocide or other massacres, or 
other event involving extensive damage to property and loss of 
human lives over a period of time that continues until Protocol M8 is 
successfully completed. In the case of each documented locution 
event, the attendant Type-S Event, while significant, is limited to a 
geographic area that does not directly affect SCP-089-B. This has, 
in some documented cases, resulted in the pendency of a Type-S 
Event for an extended duration of time due to SCP-089-B’s 
unawareness of SCP-089 or of Protocol M8, or to SCP-089-B’s 
unwillingness to undertake Protocol M8 in order to arrest the Type-S 
Event. 


For each locution event, SCP-089-A is a healthy, unblemished 
human infant or child between eight months and six years of age, 
and SCP-089-B is that child’s natural mother. In all documented 
cases, at the time of the locution event SCP-089-A and -B are each 
alive and healthy, and experience a strong bond of trust and 
affection with each other. 


Following SCP-089-B’s placement of SCP-089-A in the cavity and 
the ignition of the inflammable materials, SCP-089-A will burn and 
be destroyed over a period of two to five hours. 


Addendum #1: 

Memo to file from Dr. Garcia: While the role of SCP-089 in actually 
causing Type-S Events is unclear, experience has demonstrated 
that the prompt and precise application of Protocol M8 is effective in 
limiting the damage that they do. Dr. Patel has speculated that 
SCP-089 does not cause Type-S events, but merely anticipates 
them and provides a means to mitigate their effects. 


Addendum #2: 

A partial list of documented Type-S Events that were terminated by 
means of Protocol M8 (inclusive of documented completions of 
Protocol M8 that pre-date the Foundation’s acquisition of custody of 
SCP-089) follows: 


Date of locution: March 21, 1788 

Description of Type-S Event in Locution Event: “The 
flames shall consume their houses, yea, and their 
markets, and their temples, and all of their dwelling 
places, they shall be destroyed.” 

Type-S Event: Fire in city of 

Outcome: Protocol M8 completed on day 29 after 
locution event. 66% of city's buildings destroyed. 


Date of locution: December 2, 1850 

Description of Type-S Event in Locution Event: “The 
false prophet shall gather the multitude unto him, and 
cast them against the princes. They shall each of them 
be slain and their fields made barren.” 

Type-S Event: Large-scale messianic-based peasant 
uprising in 

Outcome: Protocol M8 completed on day 1,363 after 
locution event. Massacres associated with uprising and 
its suppression, and attendant agricultural collapse, 
account for at least million casualties. 


Date of locution: November 23, 1951 

Description of Type-S Event in Locution Event: “The 
earth shall tremble and the seas shall rise and be cast 
against the earth, and the mountain shall vomit fire, its 
voice shall be darkness and death.” 

Type-S Event: Earthquake and volcanic eruption in 


Outcome: Protocol M8 executed within 31 hours of 
locution event. No tsunami resulted although geological 
models had anticipated that one would occur from a 
seismic event in that area. No fatalities. 


Date of locution: November 7, 1970 

Description of Type-S Event in Locution Event: “The 
rains shall scour the earth, and sweep away man, and 
his beasts, and all his works, the deluge shall take them 
all.” 

Type-S Event: Cyclone in 

Outcome: Protocol M8 executed on day 49 after locution 


event. Casualties from flooding, disease and starvation 
estimated at thousand. 


Date of locution: April 4, 20 

Description of Type-S Event in Locution Event: 
[DATA EXPUNGED] 

Type-S Event: [DATA EXPUNGED] 

Outcome: Ongoing. Protocol M8 not yet executed.

SCP-090: Apocorubik's Cube 


Item #: SCP-090 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Artifact is to be held in a secure 
bunker in the facility at Site and constantly monitored by approved 
Class D Personnel. The object's new arrangement is to be imaged 
every time it shifts. New arrangements are fed into the facility's 
Class-OT Supercomputer. Division Chief is to be notified of all 
changes and current estimates every half-hour. No personnel is to 
touch SCP-090 except under order - - 


AXA Security level has been created for monitoring SCP-090. Non- 
AXA personnel found in the facility will be terminated. 


Description: SCP-090 was located and retrieved in : on 
April 10, 19 . Prior to retrieval, SCP-090 had been located in a 
chamber at the nearby cathedral. SCP-090 was removed, the 
cathedral burned, 6 monks and the priest were terminated. SCP-090 
has been located at Site since the retrieval. Object's initial location 
prior to the cathedral is unrecorded. 


SCP-090 is a black cubic structure [20 cm x 20 cm x 20 cm] made of 
an unknown ceramic material. Object is classified as indestructible 
following tests outlined in Document 090-B[Unattached]. Each side 
is divided into ten thousand individual squares in arrangement 
similar to a Rubik's cube [100 segments per edge, each segment 
2mm wide]. Each square has part of a design etched into the 
surface. Etchings glow white. 


Unknown internal structure causes the realignment of a single row 
or column (roughly) every 2.8 seconds. Vague records of the 
object's alignments have been kept since 1242 CE, but those kept 
before 1533 CE have been lost. Modern technology has allowed the 
exact alignments to be imaged and recorded, as well as studied. 


Segments are divided by a thin white line unless they are aligned 
correctly with the square directly adjacent to them. There are 22 
correct alignments on the object's surface currently. See 
25.090.090.04D[Unattached] for complete current object alignment. 


D-023016-024016-024015 is currently the only alignment of three 
adjacent segments on the surface of SCP-090. 
B-100023-100024-099024-098024 and 
C-043077-042077-042076-042075 are the four-segment alignments. 
There is also a six-segment alignment. See Document 090-B for 
research notes involving alignment effects. 


Full item completion has been hypothesized to cause an 
unparalleled disaster to occur. 


Addendum: AXA Security level personnel should see Document 
090-B. 


Document 090-A: Dr. Experiment Notes 


Experiment 0012: Observation is going well, we have managed to 
develop a system to record and analyze the shifts in the cube almost 
as quickly as they occur. No correlation between shifts and any 
world events found yet. 


Experiment 0048: We observed a six segment alignment today on 
the 1st side. It was noted and passed without incident. Two hours 
later, a research assistant returned from the break room with news 
that a tsunami had occurred in the Indian Ocean and caused 
hundreds of thousands of deaths and extensive property damage. 
No correlation is currently known, but we will make note of it. 


Experiment 0150: After our 120th alignment on the 4th side of the 
cube and 120th accident report in the lab, we are designating the 
4th side as ‘local’ and will implement safety measures tomorrow. 
Staff are discouraged from making bets regarding the outcome of 
alignments. 


Experiment 0172: A six segment alignment was recorded this 
morning on the ‘local’ side. As a safety precaution, Site was 
evacuated. Two hours later, a containment breach occurred, but 


resulted in no loss of life due to the evacuation. Object determined 
to predict events, not cause them. 1st side designated as ‘global’. 
Upgrade to Euclid status requested. 


Experiment 0240: We stepped up our experiments today by 
attempting to modify the cube itself. When D-Class personnel 
attempted to make a shift, SCP-090 immediately created a ten- 
segment alignment of its own accord near the top left corner of the 
‘local’ side. Exactly two hours later, SCP- broke containment and 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. Agents and were also lost during 
the incident. Recommend forced shift testing of SCP-090 
postponed. Upgrade to Keter status approved as SCP-090 is 
obviously capable of causing events of its own accord. Object may 
be sentient. 


« SCP-089 | SCP-090 | SCP-091 » 


SCP-091: Nostalgia 


Item #: SCP-091 
Object Class: Anomalous Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-091 is to be stored ina 
standard containment locker at Site- . When SCP-091 is not being 
tested, it is to be placed under combination lock. Since SCP-091 has 
shown no signs of resistance to tearing or damage greater than that 
of normal cardboard, great care should be taken when transporting it 
to and from testing sites. 


During testing, no one other than the subject should view SCP-091. 
Those suspected of having seen SCP-091 are to be administered 
Class-B amnestics immediately, and all personal recordings or 
images in the possession of the subject—both print and digital—are 
to be destroyed to prevent recurrence. 


Description: SCP-091 is a “Scotties” brand tissue box, currently 
empty. Immediately upon observing SCP-091, viewers report an 
overwhelming sense of nostalgia. Those affected begin reminiscing 
about times they “were near” SCP-091, major events that occurred 
while it was present, or people and places that somehow relate to it. 


SCP-091 was originally recorded as an anomalous item and sent to 
Reliquary Site-44, until one of the members of the recovery team, 
Assistant Researcher —while viewing a recording of her wedding 
from 199 —noted SCP-091 in the background of the film and noted 
a strong flood of nostalgic memories attached to it, including: 


* Memories of SCP-091 at the wedding itself. 
* Memories of SCP-091 at the reception. 
* Memories of SCP-091 during the honeymoon. 


A further interview with Assistant Researcher  ’s ex-husband 
demonstrated that he too remembered SCP-091 in all of those 


places and situations, again noting strong feelings of nostalgia and 
fondness for it. Further investigation found that several people who 
attended the wedding remember SCP-091 being there and the 
emotional effect. Others were asked to describe the wedding itself 
without being informed of SCP-091. In these cases, they described 
the scene without including SCP-091, until they were questioned 
about it directly. At that time, they immediately underwent the same, 
previously observed effect. 


Continued testing under other situations has continued to produce 
similar results. Administration of amnestics has proven ineffective at 
stopping the effect if the subject is allowed to view an image or 
recording of SCP-091. 


Of note is the fact that in each recorded instance of SCP-091, the 
box pictured is full of tissues.

SCP-092: "The Best of The 5th Dimension" 


Item #: SCP-092 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The three thousand one 
hundred and twenty-five instances of SCP-092 are to be held in 
individual cases suitable for containing non-anomalous audio 
compact discs (CDs), and stored in standard inanimate-object 
lockers at Site 37. Each instance is to be individually numbered with 
permanent marker. 


Testing of instances of SCP-092 is to be done in soundproof rooms. 
Only one instance of SCP-092 may be examined at a time. Only D- 

class personnel are to listen to previously-unexamined instances of 
SCP-092. Research proposals which involve non-D-class personnel 
listening to instances of SCP-092 require written approval from site 

command. 


The cadaver of SCP-092-B is not currently considered anomalous 
except by association, and is preserved in the morgue freezer at 
Site 19. 


Description: SCP-092 is a set of 3125 audio CDs, each labeled 
"The Absolute Absolute Absolute Absolute BEST of The 5th 


who have at various times been part of the American singing group 
"The 5th Dimension". Each instance of SCP-092, when played in a 
standard CD player, will produce a distinct anomalous effect upon all 
individuals within hearing range. The anomalous phenomenon will 
last 74 minutes (the duration of a standard audio CD), during which 
time listeners will be unable to leave hearing range, or to shut off the 
CD player or otherwise interrupt its function. As well, when the 
anomalous phenomenon finishes, all surviving listeners will engage 
in synchronized vocalization of the phrase "Wow, that was real 
cool"; synchronized vocalization has been observed in non- 


anglophones, pre-verbal infants, unconscious individuals, paralyzed 
individuals, and individuals physically incapable of speech due to 
laryngeal, lingual, and/or buccal damage. 


The anomalous properties of each instance of SCP-092 are 
thematically and conceptually linked to the number 5, dimensions, 
and/or the members of The 5th Dimension. As of / /_ , 871 
instances of SCP-092 have been assessed and their anomalous 
properties formally described; see document 092-W83 for a full list, 
or below for a representative sample.

Acquisition log 


On May 5th, __, an unidentified man (henceforth SCP-092-B) 
carrying two suitcases approached front gate guards at Site 19, and 
stated that he wished to surrender himself and his anomalous 
creations into Foundation custody. The contents of his suitcases 
were confiscated, and classed as SCP-092; SCP-092-B was 
transferred to Site 37 for interrogation. 


During interrogation, SCP-092-B revealed the thematic connections 
(five, dimensions, and The 5th Dimension) between all instances of 
SCP-092, and then committed suicide. 


Access requires level-4 security clearance or higher 


Transcript of statement made by SCP-092-B upon 
arrival at Site 19 


Guard: Sir, this is private property, you can't 


SCP-092-B: This is a secret Foundation site, 


right? 
Guard — you can't come in here, sir, | — 


SCP-092-B: You're the SCP Foundation, and 
I'm a failure. 


Guard: ... what was that, sir? 


SCP-092-B: You're the SCP Foundation, and 
I'm a failure. | think I'm clever, but I'm not. I'ma 
stupid boring nekulturny hack who thinks that 
money and cheap puns can take the place of 
talent and inspiration. I'm tasteless. I'm dull. 
I'm incompetent, | have no sense of style, and 
the only reason I'm not an art criminal is that 
nothing I've ever made is even close to being 
art. You can secure me, and you can contain 
me, but no one can protect me. Please take 
me and my anomalous garbage into custody. 


(At this point, guards summoned backup. 
SCP-092-B repeated this statement verbatim 
until he was taken into custody.) 


Excerpt from transcript of SCP-092-B interrogation 
session #2 


Interviewer:Yes, we understand about "five- 
ness", thank you, that's been most helpful, but 
we were also wondering what you could tell us 
about how you made these. 


SCP-092-B: | just wanted to be cool, you 
know? | really did. | thought... well, | had my 
inheritance, and my collection, and there was 
the estate, and the abandoned museum, and 
so much of the stuff went together, and it 
wasn't that tough, and... look, my ideas were 
better than yours! They were! | know they 
were! No! They're not! Nobody's impressed by 


stupid facile wordplay. It's not even good 
wordplay, it's kindergarten-level paronomasia, 
oh look FIVE DIMENSIONS WHAT OTHER 
THINGS CAN YOU THINK OF THAT COME 
IN FIVES, I'm worthless. I'm worthless. 


Interviewer: Better than my ideas? 


SCP-092-B: There's no deeper meaning to 
what | did, it's all just superficial Potemkin- 
village crap pumping imitation SHIT into the 
river of human achievement. It's Stein's 
fucking Oakland, and | don't even FUCKING 
understand those FUCKING allusions. I'm an 
uninspired wannabe, I'm boring, I'm a useless 
hack with NO FUCKING IMAGINATION. I've 
wasted and ruined miracles, I've squandered 
so much raw material that better people could 
have done so much with... | just... I'm not 
cool. | never will be. I'm really sorry about the 
mess. These aren't my arms. 


(At this point, SCP-092-B seized his own head 
with both hands and ripped it off his neck, 
killing himself instantly.)

SCP-093: Red Sea Object 


Item #: SCP-093 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: See testing document 
SCP-093-T1 for outline of testing conditions. SCP-093 must remain 
on a mirror at all times and under video surveillance. Admittance into 
the area of SCP-093's containment must be authorized only with 
proper video recording and subject retrieval procedures in place. 
Any attempt to use SCP-093 outside of an approved test will be 
dealt with severely, up to and including termination. 


Description: SCP-093 is a primarily red disc carved from a stone 
composite resembling cinnabar, with circular engravings and 
unknown symbols carved at 0.5 cm depth around the entire object. 
Deeper cuts are present on SCP-093 with a depth of 1 to 1.5 cm. 
SCP-093 is 7.62 cm in diameter and fits comfortably into most palms 
without abrasion. SCP-093 will change hue when held by a living 
individual. The colors taken by SCP-093 are still being researched to 
establish a link. Current belief holds that the changes depend upon 
regrets carried by the holder. 


If SCP-093 is removed from a mirror and not held by a person, it will 
seek out the nearest mirror-like surface. SCP-093 has been 
observed to travel in the largest possible circle while rolling, building 
up phenomenal speed. The mechanism of this acceleration is 
currently unknown. If an obstacle is between SCP-093 and the 
nearest mirror-like surface, it will use this momentum to punch 
through the obstacle and continue on its course at this speed. It will 
only stop when a mirror-like surface is contacted. Despite 
tremendous impact velocities, no damage will be dealt to SCP-093 
or the mirror. 


Additional Notes: No records exist to clarify the nature of 
SCP-093's discovery or presence in the Foundation. See SCP-093- 


OD. Since no records exist explaining SCP-093's method of 
containment, a test procedure was initiated to establish why mirrors 
must be used to contain it. The results of SCP-093-T1 lead to the 
discovery of living beings holding SCP-093 being able to move 
through mirrors and the series of tests in SCP-093-T2 to ascertain 
the destination reached through this travel. 


SCP-093 Original Documentation 
Item #: SCP-093 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Item SCP-093 is to 
be kept on a silver lined mirror on a 0.3x0.23m (1ftx9in) 
pedestal at least 1.22m (4ft) off the ground floor in 
containment cell block _. Object is not to be contained 
in areas exceeding 3.66x3.05m (12x10ft) nor placed on 
mahogany, pine, cherry or aluminum pedestals above or 
below level 1 of containment cell block . Object can be 
handled safely, albeit gently, without consequences. 
Tests and consequences thereof involving containment 
conditions can be viewed in Section-B:35-1 of the 
attached report. 


Description: Object was found on the shore of the Red 
Sea, 30 Jan 1968, emitting a low sigh and a dim blue 
gleam. Its color has since turned into an orange mix of 
red only emitting a hum of varying volume whilst in the 
presence of female examiners of ages between 34 and 
41. SCP-093 resembled the documented blue for 54:34 
at 1:23 on 26 April 1986 coincidentally when the body of 
194-9834 was discovered in Research Facility 


Ties between 194-9834 and SCP-093 remain 
inconclusive and effects of prolonged exposure to 093 
remain unknown except for infrequent reports of periods 
of calmness and in the case of 242-0049 as periodic 
waves of depression, loss of balance and thoughts of 
suicide. These feelings have reportedly not exceeded 
eleven days in duration. Object seemed to react to the 


presence of 242-0056 by turning light violet for no more 
than 2:09, as documented on 12 March 1993. Effects of 
this reaction remain unknown. 


Additional Notes: Origins of 093 remain unknown and 
documents of recovery of 093 have since been 
destroyed in a fire in Research Facility | ,09 December 
1989. Reports on the feelings of researchers who 
handled 093 have remained inconsequential since 19 
April 1995. 


SCP-093-T1: Containment Test 


Testing of SCP-093 against conditions set forth for existing 
containment procedures to assess viability of continuing such 
containment. Beginning with changing the type of mirror used as a 
position of rest: 


Mirrored surface, brass frame, retail-grade mirror: SCP-093 
rests without activity when placed on the mirror. This test alone 
removes the need for costly silver or wooden containment systems. 


Standard-grade table: SCP-093 turns upright and begins to roll 
across the table surface in one direction, making a U-turn and rolling 
to the other, completing an oval shape and repeating this action until 
a mirror is brought into vicinity of it, at which time SCP-093 rolls 
toward the mirror and lays flatways against it, sliding toward the 
center. It is noted that despite the grainy feel of SCP-093, it does not 
mark the mirror in any fashion while moving across it. 


Two mirrors at either end of a standard-grade table: SCP-093 
gravitates toward the closer mirror regardless of orientation and 

makes no distinction between different types of mirrors, favoring a 
factor of distance above all else in choosing the mirror to move to. 


A mirror held by a person and moved around: SCP-093 follows 
the mirror as it moves, gaining speed until a maximum velocity of 

is reached. At any velocity, the impact of SCP-093 against a 
mirrored surface results in no damage to either object. 


A person holding SCP-093 placing it on a mirror: This test was 


accidental, the result of one of the staff tripping another after some 
debate about who would be covering the lunch tab. As a result of the 
behavior of the researchers, it was discovered that a person holding 
SCP-093 and placing it against a mirror will in fact move into the 
mirror. 


Addendum: Containment testing discontinued after establishing 
that SCP-093 requires only a mirror to rest inert. Testing on human 
interaction with mirrors while holding SCP-093 authorized by Dr. 


SCP-093-T2 : Mirror Test 


Testing Protocols: Subjects testing SCP-093 must wear a Class 3 
buckle harness strapped to the chest and attached to a tension 
pulley system allowing for 300 m (~1000 ft) of movement. Additional 
spools may be added to extend movement if necessary. The clasps 
connecting these spools must be high grade and capable of 
withstanding applied force of 0.2 tons. 


A field kit containing the following should be standard issue for 
testing of SCP-093: 


¢ One (1) wrist mounted light source with three (3) hours 
lifespan and additional power sources providing up to six (6) 
additional hours. 


¢ Four (4) 0.5 L water bottles with water. 


Four (4) MREs of any type, plus two (2) plain granola bars 
(chocolate chips allowed). 


¢ One (1) standard-issue Beretta 9mm firearm with twenty-four 
(24) rounds of ammunition, loaded. This is not to be issued 
until subject has passed into a mirror using SCP-093 and 
should be given under armed supervision ensuring that the 
subject passes through entirely. This item is to be 
requisitioned first upon subject's return and subject to be 
made aware of this before leaving line of sight within 
SCP-093's mirror. 


* One (1) standard-issue field knife. The subject is not to be 


made aware of this item and must find it on his own within the 
kit. 


The subject must also be attached to a video system, with a camera 
mounted on the subject's head or shoulders. The video device 
should be cable based and allow for the same length of travel as the 
return system. Wireless cameras have shown mixed results and 
should only be used in testing conditions where SCP-093 is a 
currently known color. New colors must be tested using wired feed. 


During testing, the color of SCP-093 must be recorded, as well as 
history of the subject in terms of their incarceration to identify how 
SCP-093 determines the color to assume. A link appears to be 
connected to guilt or a lack thereof in the subject's psyche. The 
attached test results should be read in order.

SCP-093 'Blue' Test 


Mirror Test 1: Color (Blue) 


Subject is D-20384, male, 34 years of age, strong physique. 
Subject's background shows instance of murder/attempted suicide. 
Subject is co-operative in all steps of testing. Subject entered the 
provided mirror while holding SCP-093, which emitted a blue color. 
Outside technicians observed that the mirror retained a true 
reflection until subject had completely passed into it, at which time 
the view changed to an outdoor landscape, heavily tinged in blue. 
Video feed follows in attached media: 


Camera activates, flickers to view. Subject is looking out 
over the same field reported by technicians. Looks like 
typical lowland plains, everything has a heavy blue tinge 
overlapping the normal colors. No discernible landmarks 
visible as subject pans view left to right, only grass, 
weeds, and a breeze moving the taller grass. No trees. 
No living beings visible. 


Subject moves forward as instructed, traveling for 
approximately 500 steps before something becomes 
visible, a patch of the land up ahead is barren and grass 
can be seen dying as subject approaches it. 
Approximately 300 steps forward subject is standing 
before a hole in the ground. The hole has been dug 
using unknown tools of primitive origin. 


Pulley system engaged and the camera suffers a light 
shudder. Subject is instructed to enter the hole, and after 
mild protesting agrees to do so. There is no apparent 
method of descent such as ladder or rope, subject relies 
entirely on his own hands and the pulley system to slow 
the descent. Approximately 100 m of cable is used 
before a bottom is reached, light source provided in field 
kit activated 50 m down when outside sources become 


unreliable. Sweeping gestures of the light reveal nothing 
more than dirt even at the bottom of the hole. 


Subject moves forward with assistance of light source. 
Asked about the blue tinge subject expresses confusion 
and says there is no such tinge from his perspective, and 
never was. Light is visible down the passage and 150 m 
of cable has been used. Out of the camera's eye sound 
is recorded of the firearm being prepared. When 
questioned about these actions subject states justified 
precaution and moves forward. 


The tunnel turns from bare dirt to a concrete enclosure, 
subject complains of a stench. The light source is 
revealed to be ceiling light fixtures, a series of which with 
less than a quarter broken while the others function. A 
series of six doors, three to a side, span before the 
camera view with a seventh door visible at the end of the 
corridor that has been blocked by what looks like generic 
metal shelving debris. Debris shows signs of rusting and 
is typical of retail store units suggesting other human 
presences. 


Subject requested to try doors, in whatever order he 
chooses. Subject tries first door on right, door is locked, 
does not open. Second door tries to open but does not 
budge, unlocked but blocked. Closing second door, third 
door is tried, same results as first. Going up the other 
side the third door does open fully and light is bright in 
the room. Portable light switched off at this time as 
subject pans camera to inspect room. 


Room is bare, no contents, but walls are filthy. Subject 
states material on walls isn't dirt, but he can't identify it, 
seems to resemble melted plastic but is brown in color 
rather than black. Door is closed. Second door on left 
side has no handle, does not move when pushed. The 
hole where the handle was is plugged by unknown 
material. All doors are shaped in such a way that nothing 
can visibly escape from the sides and space for 
movement is too thin to look through even at ground 


level. First door on left hand is locked, but part of key is 
present in lock from stem to the ridges, the back has 
been broken off. 


With effort subject manipulates key to open door and 
immediately begins coughing, complaining of a stench. 
Walls of room are clean as is floor, ceiling is coated in 
the same strange brown material as the third room. In 
this room there is a makeshift cot made from aged 
blankets with a pillow, a wooden crate containing open 
boxes of what appears to have been food stuffs, 
language appears on video as squiggles however 
subject states they simply read 'Cereal’. A second crate 
in the room contains what appear to be empty water 
bottles that have dried out. A book lays next to the cot, 
closed, no title or identifying marks. 


On the wall is what appears to be clipped articles but 
language cannot be read, subject asked to remove 
clippings for retrieval. All articles but one crumble at the 
touch due to age. The intact article is put in a field 
sample container and seems the most recent compared 
to the others. Asked to investigate the book subject 
begins to move toward it. 


Audio on the tape goes strange and a high pitched 
screeching noise like grinding metal dominates all 
communication for 3.5 seconds. Subject has not touched 
the book still, and when the noise stops, subject asks 
control to repeat request. Control made no requests 
during that time as headsets were removed. Subject 
advised to leave room and notes that the door has begun 
closing slowly on its own and if left alone, will close. 
Subject advised to leave door alone and to investigate 
door on right. 


Careful review of the following ten seconds of tape 
shows that as the camera pans, a figure is visible at the 
end of the tunnel where the seventh door is. The door is 
open only enough for a face to be seen through a crack 
just before the door silently closes. No details can be 


seen. 


Subject investigates the second door on the right with no 
mention of anything seen out of the ordinary. This door 
when pushed against moves, and after repeated 
bashings, moves enough to view inside at an angle. A 
cork board is visible with more articles attached to it, the 
top of a box of 'cereal' can be seen on the floor, and 
what appears to be a hand laying palm up. Subject 
closes door and pans camera past door seven which 
remains closed. Seeing nowhere else to explore, subject 
requested to return. Subject poses no protest and 
complains of ever increasing stench. 


As subject returns back down tunnel his camera feed 
does not change or show anomaly but control reports a 
sudden surge in cable movement pulling an additional 
100 m of cable through before going slack again and 
then tightening. Video feed shows subject ascending 
tunnel slowly while control attempts to verify integrity of 
the pulley system. Subject requested to stop ascent but 
states he is not climbing, the rope is pulling him up. 
Panic sets in on both sides and subject informed to 
ready firearm. 


Upon reaching top of hole, nothing is visible on camera 
and subject reports nothing has changed in landscape, 
then begins a return trip following the path of the cable. 
Traveling for approximately 900 steps subject asks how 
much cable he has used. Control admits they are unsure 
due to complications but subject traveled in a straight 
line to reach the hole so it should be a straight line back. 
Subject becomes concerned when he states that more 
cable is visible now, moving in a 90 degree angle away 
from a point in the ground. 


Subject pans camera around full circle slowly. On film, 
behind subject, a crowd of 37 countable figures stand 
silently, features are unidentifiable and they are lacking 
the blue tinge that dominates the landscape. Panic 
breaks in control again but subject notes only oddity as 


being the cable having an angled path. Subject tugs his 
end of the cable, it is taut and does not move. Control 
begins to reel in the pulley system and slack rapidly 
winds. Watching the angled cable movement can be 
seen as grass is disturbed further down the angled 
portion from the reeling in then the line vibrates as it 
meets resistance and emits a 'twang' from the recoil. 
Subject's camera pans back along length of cable which 
now appears to slowly be allowing more slack before 
suddenly all slack is returned and pulley system begins 
again. 


Control requests subject return following cable path and 
screams are caught on the audio with panic from subject. 
Five shots fired as subject aims pistol at something not 
visible on camera. Control reports being able to see 
subject returning toward point of origin while camera 
shows wire disappearing into a point floating in the air. 
As subject passes this point all cable is now in the pulley 
system and camera films only the floor. Control reports 
that the mirror took approximately five seconds to return 
to a reflection and SCP-093 remained blue in color until 
one hour after being recovered from subject. 


A vile smelling fluid was present on subject's clothes 
around his hands when firearm was recovered. This fluid 
dried quickly and was deemed insignificant of study due 
to lack of quality sample. Control personnel monitoring 
the mirror state having seen a massive human being, 
crawling on the ground, easily fifty times the size ofa 
normal person with no facial features and a very short 
arm reach, pulling itself toward the mirror before it 
returned to a reflection. Due to proximity fine details 
could not be made out but at least one observer noted 
the being appeared to have been shot from the marks in 
the otherwise smooth featureless face. 


Field Test Kit recovered from subject containing a news 
paper article that reads: [DATA EXPUNGED] and was 
filed as item [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


The next test is classified as the Green Test. 


SCP-093 'Green' Test 


Mirror Test 2: Color (Green) 


Subject is D-54493, female, 23 years of age, average physique. 
Subject's background shows instance of grand theft auto and 
second degree murder of two children during escape with vehicle. 
Subject is co-operative in all steps of testing. Subject entered the 
provided mirror while holding SCP-093 which emitted a green color. 
Outside technicians observed that the mirror retained a true 
reflection until subject had completely passed into it, at which time 
the view changed to a farming landscape, heavily tinged in green, 
similar to the first test. Video feed follows in attached media: 


Camera activates, flickers to view. Subject is looking out 
over the same farmland reported by technicians. All 
greens through video feed are deeper and green tinge 
overlays the normal colors of objects similar to the blue 
tinge in Test 1. No landmarks from Test 1 are 
discernable as subject pans camera over area. 


Present is a field, long abandoned, in the middle of which 
stands the remains of a scarecrow of unknown design, 
fragments left are rotted and torn. Nothing grows in the 
tilled land. A farm house is visible to the right of the field, 
large, two stories, a basement shelter entrance is visible 
at one end. Subject prepares her sidearm immediately 
and is asked by control to relax before proceeding, her 
heavy breathing dominating the audio feed. 


Subject takes a few minutes and announces that she's 
fine, then proceeds as directed to walk the perimeter of 
the farmhouse. Children's bicycles, two, a boy's and 
girl's, lay against the house near the shelter doors. One 
of the doors to the shelter lay in the grass, torn from the 
entrance as evidenced by splintering wood. On the stairs 
lay clothes arranged in a descending order, shoes to 


shirt going down them, belonging to a boy. Subject 
begins screaming at control asking if this is some sort of 
sick joke. Control assures her they have never seen this 
environment either and to please calm down. Subject 
takes several minutes to regain herself before 
continuing. It is unknown if SCP-093 is linking the 
subject's past with her landscape. 


After several minutes subject agrees to continue. 
Communication to subject is muted and conversation of 
control making commentary about subject's jittery 
attitude make up audio for one and a half minutes. 
Communication restored as subject reaches bottom of 
stairs. The cellar of the farmhouse is unremarkable and 
typical. Several wooden shelves line the far wall 
containing unidentified canned substances. Broken light 
fixtures sway gently from support beams. Camera is 
panned across the basement slowly, no evidence of 
footprints are visible and the basement can be assumed 
to have been abandoned for some time. Subject begins 
to comment about a stench. 


As subject pans the area a metal hatch is visible in the 
ground, similar to a bulkhead on a submarine with a turn 
handle. Subject remarks that the smell is at its worst 
around the hatch and the dirt around the hatch is noted 
as being clumped and claylike. The handle of the hatch 
is old and the paint chipped. Subject coerced into turning 
the handle which, when fully turned, opens the hatch. 
Subject begins coughing at the release of assumed old, 
stale air. When camera is tilted to view down the hatch, it 
is a white concrete tunnel similar to the one found in the 
blue experiment but in much better condition. Subject 
asked to descend ladder and close hatch behind her. 


After some convincing subject agrees to descend but 
does not close the hatch, overlooked concerns about 
severing the pulley return system in doing so are 
acknowledged. Descent down the ladder and trip to the 
farmhouse has consumed approximately 53 m of cable 


when bottom is reached. The inside of the hatch appears 
to be a bunker ill-suited to long term usage. It is 
spacious, about half the size of the actual cellar itself, 
containing three bunks, one for a couple and two for 
single use. 


Several boxes of food similar to those found during Blue 
marked as 'Cereal' fill a waste container near the hatch 
bottom. On the beds are two skeletons and on the floor 
is a third, lying next to which is a simple six shooter 
revolver containing no ammunition. Three spent casings 
are across the floor near the gun. On the other side of 
this skeleton is a bound book in good condition, this is 
retrieved and placed into a Field Kit container upon 
request. The gun is left alone per request from control. 


Subject examines more of the bunker, focusing on a 
desk where a newspaper has been cut and is in good 
condition. The clipped articles are recovered using a 
Field Kit container. Little else of interest to be brought 
back is in the bunker as the camera is panned around. 
Trash bags containing clothing, a few children’s toys 
resembling popular 1950s era products are lined against 
the wall. 


Subject is requested to leave the bunker and then 
sharply asked to wait by a control technician who directs 
the camera view to an area near the exiting doorway to 
the hatch. Closer inspection as subject moves in finds 
that a small area has been fitted with what appears to be 
an Ethernet jack, the cover of which has been forced 
slightly away from the wall by a strange amber-like 
substance. Subject refuses to touch or collect a sample 
commenting that it stinks so bad that if they want it they 
can come get it themselves. Control declines and subject 
leaves bunker. 


As subject grips ladder to leave the camera pans up for a 
moment and at the top of the tunnel a humanoid figure is 
seen peering down. Control asks subject to confirm 
figure, subject states nothing is up there and begins to 


climb. Figure draws out of camera view after first rung is 
touched by subject who ascends without incident. At the 
top of the tunnel, no other life is seen, nothing has been 
disturbed. Subject insists nothing was there and closes 
the hatch, then immediately vomits. 


Subject coughs and uses a supplied water bottle to 
gargle then freezes and asks if control is hearing 'that'. 
Control reports no audio. Subject approaches cellar 
hatch cautiously with firearm drawn and lifts her head 
just enough so camera can view outside area. In the 
distance, approximately 700 m from the farm, two 
massive, humanoid beings are crawling across the 
landscape. The entities do not notice the subject who 
remains quiet but whose drawn sidearm is visibly 
trembling. 


Subject requested to remain still and silent as beings 
move. They are featureless, facing at an angle moving 
across the field of vision so the faces are only visible for 
a few moments. During this time it is clear they have no 
facial features. The arms they use to drag themselves 
are short at times and long at others, stretching out to 
varying lengths each time they move. There is no rear 
area to the beings, all bodily design appears to end at 
the torso. The two creatures take approximately ten 
minutes to disappear into the distance before the subject 
begins to panic and begs to return. Request declined. 
Subject instructed to enter the home from the cellar, and 
not to leave the home under any circumstances. 


The first floor is entered through a hatch in the ceiling/ 
floor that opens with rusty creaks that cause subject to 
pause for 37 seconds before continuing upward and 
entering a kitchen. A heavy layer of dust coats all items 
in the kitchen. The refrigerator is left open, all food is 
spoiled. Adjacent the kitchen is a living area that subject 
enters slowly. There is a recliner, a couch, anda 
television all of 1950s style design. In the recliner is a 
laptop whose case also resembles 1950s decor and is 


coated in heavy dust. Opening the laptop reveals the last 
moments of its operating system, "Faithful OS" leaving a 
standby mode and immediately shutting off. Laptop has 
no external power source and will not power back on. 
When asked to recover laptop, it brings the cushion of 
the recliner with it, the two stuck together. Subject 
advised to leave laptop where it is. 


The inside door leaving the home is nailed shut with thick 
wood planks, no attempt made to interact with these. 
Camera view pans to a staircase leading upstairs. 
Subject ascends the stairs without being asked and the 
stairs remain silent to control's surprise. When subject 
reaches top of stairs a hallway with two doors is viewed, 
one on each side, and at the end of the halla 
dumbwaiter is inlaid into the wall. 


Subject opens door on left on her own, which opens to a 
master bedroom. The bed is neatly made but the 
wardrobe next to it is thrown open and clothes are 
everywhere on the floor. Subject finds laid out on the bed 
several pieces of jewelry and is informed to leave them. 
Subject begins to protest, then comments they stink and 
leaves them alone, promptly leaving room. Subject 
asked to open second door. 


The second door opens and gives a view of a shared 
children's bedroom, obviously boy and girl given the 
types of toys and clothes scattered on the floor. There is 
also a window which subject approaches and wipes with 
a curtain to clear dust. Subject requested to move 
camera to window and does so. The farmland is visible, 
and approximately 40 km from it at best guess, a city. As 
the camera starts to draw back it pans down and films 
the area around the house. Approximately 300 figures 
similar to those from the footage captured during Blue 
test are visible around the home, all staring up. Subject 
asked to confirm figures but states nothing is there. 
Subject requested to return and quickly agrees. 


Egress from the house is uneventful, pulley system 


shows no erratic behavior. As subject returns to point of 
pulley wire's origin a loud groaning noise causes the 
picture to reverberate. Technicians at control report they 
were also able to hear the noise and experienced the 
vibration. Subject returns through point of origin without 
investigation and mirror returns to reflective surface. 
SCP-093 relinquished. Video ends.

The next test is classified as the Violet Test. 


SCP-093 'Violet' Test 


Mirror Test 3: Color (Violet) 


Subject is D-84930, male, 21 years of age, average physique. 
Subject's background shows instance of second degree murder of a 
police officer during a drug bust. Normally this crime, while severe, 
would not qualify a person for a sentence that would end up with us, 
but the murder of the officer was especially brutal and excessive 
violence was used. This subject was uncooperative and had to be 
reminded that his cooperation would only benefit him. Subject 
entered the provided mirror while holding SCP-093 which emitted a 
violet color. Outside technicians observed that the mirror retained a 
true reflection until subject had completely passed into it, at which 
time the view changed to a cityscape, urban, lightly tinged in purple, 
similar to the first test. Video feed follows in attached media: 


Camera flickers to life and pans around the area. Subject 
is in what appears to be a modern downtown district 
similar to a city like New York. The streets are mostly 
bare except for a few cars of unknown make or model. 
These cars look highly advanced and streamlined. 
Subject attempts to look into the car windows without 
being instructed to but backs away remarking there is a 
‘rank ass stank' coming from the areas around most of 
them. 


Subject is persuaded to move closer to one car and does 
so with coughing, wiping off a window which is covered 
in dirt. The inside of the car appears to be completely 
filled with a strange brown matter, there is nothing at all 
visible other than the brown matter. Two other cars 
produce the same results however a fourth vehicle 
seems more recent than the others and the insides are 
immaculate. The doors to this vehicle also are unlocked 
and subject quickly gets inside then shuts the doors. 


Subject is chastised for this behavior by control who 
reminds him his lifeline is nothing more than a cable, 
which is sturdy enough that closing the car door does not 
injure it, but they cannot recover a person in motion. 


Subject argues with control over this issue and pans the 
camera across the dashboard, pointing out he couldn't 
drive away even if he tried. The dashboard is void of any 
recognizable controls, no ignition, no steering, it has 
several small blank screens that are theorized to be a 
GPS system. Subject remains in the car while control 
discusses how to proceed since the city landscape is far 
larger than the previous test destinations. 


Control debates this issue while subject stares around 
the cityscape from the car. During one pan a face is 
clearly seen staring into the car, eyes watching the 
subject; however, this was not noticed until post-test 
footage review. Subject made no comment regarding this 
entity at any point. Control shortly after informs subject to 
remain where he is and an escort team is dispatched 
through the mirror to join him. 


A team of four armed personnel is sent through the 
mirror and proceeds to subject's location. Subject is then 
instructed to remove his harness, which is recovered. 
This subject's video feed then ends and is replaced by a 
wireless unit used by the escort team. The video quality 
on this unit is subject to more interference but in order to 
mark the mirror exit a receiver system is placed through 
the mirror. 


Subject leaves the car and now travels with the escort 
team. Given the myriad of possible options they are 
instructed to simply move to the closest building and 
attempt to enter it. This building has etched glass doors 
bearing the name 'X.E.A. Research Partners Inc.' and 
the doors are ajar; a magnetic lock system is present, 
but has lost power. Team enters the building and main 
lobby. 


This area resembles a stereotypical corporate lobby. 
There is C shaped receptionist desk with a chair pushed 
far from it as if it was left in a hurry. A PC terminal is at 
the desk as well. Team approaches the desk and the 
camera bearer is instructed to examine the PC. The unit 
does appear to have power and "Faithful OS" appears 
on the screen requesting a login and password. A 
keyboard is present but is remarkably slim with touch 
sensitive keys rather than press down keys. After one 
failed attempt the lock screen replies that maximum 
attempts have been exceeded and the PC turns off. No 
actual tower or power button can be located so team 
moves forward. 


Behind the receptionist desk are two elevator doors, one 
to the left and one to the right, with similar touch-sense 
keys. The elevator on the left is broken, the door open 
and the shaft empty. The elevator on the right appears 
functional and has power. Without a clear destination the 
team is instructed to proceed to the highest floor to get a 
lay of the city. All floors appear to be accessible with the 
highest being 114, in reality 112 as 13 and 113 are 
missing from the keypad. 


Journey up the elevator is uneventful during this time, 
the elevator does appear to take longer as it passes by 
13 and then 113, suggesting that entire floor was built 
and nothing put on it. At 114 the doors open and team 
enters a large lounge type area. There are many 
couches with dust on them, a wide screen apparently 
LCD TV of approximately 60+ inches in size dominates 
the wall in front of them with no power. A series of 
windows are open, allowing in sunlight at the far end to 
which the team proceeds and angles the camera 
outside. 


The view of the city is astonishing. This building is one of 
the tallest visible but certainly not alone in its stature. 
The city below is gray and silent, no evidence of life at 
this altitude. Some buildings in the city have a strange 


brown growth that appears to have been splashed 
against them as if a gelatinous mass was flung and then 
seeped down before hardening. Other buildings have 
floors where the glass has been shattered and the same 
brown substance is seeping out the edges. One member 
of the team calls the camera bearer to the windows on 
the other side. 


From the other side of the building, the city edges can be 
seen. Attention is pointed toward an expressway that 
encircles the city upon which crawls another of the large 
half-body humanoids, dragging itself with its elastic arms 
as witnessed in previous tests. It travels the highway 
then moves out of sight. The team returns to the elevator 
and notes that a button has already been activated for 
floor 74. No one has approached the elevator so the 
team agrees to travel to this floor. 


On the 74th floor the doors open and reveal a waiting 
area to what appears to be a doctor's office. At the 
reception desk there is a sign in sheet with a series of 
names and dates. The dates on the sign in sheet all 
carry the year 1953. A PC at the receptionist area is on 
and functioning at a user desktop. The background for 
the PC is a large set of praying hands with the word 
"Faithful OS" under them. On the desktop are a series of 
folders with years on them containing files that, when 
clicked using the center button of the mouse, open to a 
word viewer. All files appear to be appointment 
information. 


On the desk is a notepad titled 'From the desk of Dr. 
Borisizki, Blessed Purificationist'. The door to the 
doctor's area is sketched with the same name and title 
as well as a crucifix. Opening this door leads to a white 
dust-free hallway that has two examination rooms and a 
key coded door at the end. The examination rooms are 
unremarkable and typical of any doctor's office. All 
medicine cabinets are empty. A small amount of C4 is 
placed at the lock to the key coded door at the request of 


control and then blown, forcing the door open. 


The area it opens into is much larger than the reception 
area itself and seems to contain a series of large 
containment capsules. There are a total of six of these 
capsules, two are broken and a brownish amber material 
coats the floor coming from them. One is empty, the last 
three have nude humans floating in them with breathing 
masks. Attached to the front of these tubes are medical 
charts showing vital signs and conditions. For symptoms, 
the charts explain in somewhat awkward English 
ailments that seem more like flaws of personality or 
character, or just incidents that have occurred with the 
patient. 


Control asks for a zoom of one of the patient pages on 
the chart. After focusing, it reads 'Citizen Jennifer 
McZirka did suffer a lapse of the heart that did lead her 
to lay with her neighbor twice upon nights of her 
husband’s departure from their home. Patient did submit 
herself into the Lord's and our hands for cleansing of 
mind and body. Prayer administered by High Father 
Uwalakin and patient submitted to a three day period in 
the Lord's tears to cleanse her system then released in 
good spirits.’ 


The topmost page reads 'Citizen Alberious Farafan 
struck out at a High Father during a sermon, 
blaspheming that the Lord's tears did turn his daughter to 
be unright in mind and heart thusly laying blame for her 
whoreish activities at the feet of the High Father and his 
blessing. With no proof of these blasohemes the 
Forgiving Judge and the Punishing Judge did agree that 
Alberious Farafan should bathe in the Lord's tears 
himself for a week to be cleansed of mind and soul thus 
to prove his daughter's ways are fault of not The Fathers 
Hands and to give him peace of self.’ 


Subject who has been traveling quietly with the escort 
team now begins to panic. The camera pans to focus on 
him and he is surrounded by entities similar to those 


witnessed in the first two tests. Escort team reports in 
that subject is having a panic attack but control requests 
them to stand still and wait. Subject screams at the 
entities, which are denied to exist by team commander, 
stating Subject is alone in the corner. Control requests 
that one team member be dispatched to approach and 
recover the subject. The escort team member 
approaches the subject as ordered. On the video the 
figures part to make a pathway for the approaching 
member who lifts Subject to his feet and brings him out 
of the corner. Figures on video are then seen closing 
ranks to close the path. Subject is lifted to his feet by an 
arm and escorted through the figures that close their 
ranks when the subject is moved. They remain 
steadfastly staring at the subject no matter where he 
moves to. Control requests the team to return now. 
Team turns to leave. Before leaving a team member 
mentions something noticed at the reception desk, a 
binder labeled 'The Lord's Tears'. Control requests 
binder be returned as well, and it is stowed into Subject's 
field kit. 


The team returns to the elevator and returns to the 
ground floor. Upon leaving the building, subject points 
down the street toward direction of entry point. The 
camera pans to a section of raised expressway across 
which one of the large torsos is crawling slowly. The 
entity turns its featureless head to look at the escort 
team, raises its head to the sky, and emits a bellowing 
sound. Team leader issues the order to move, heading 
for the spot marked by the wireless video receiver. The 
creature on the expressway extends an arm down that 
stretches to touch the ground, before the camera moves 
to the port. All team members save one move through 
entry point. Subject moves through entry point and mirror 
returns to reflective surface. 


SCP-093 is dropped by subject who panics and tries to 
fight his way out of the room. Subject is terminated by 
team leader after he draws the field kit pistol. Team 


leader requests portal be reopened but it takes several 
minutes to find someone who can hold SCP-093 and 
generate a similar color. When a matching color is 
displayed and applied to the mirror the video receiver is 
visible and all individuals report a horrific smell. Team 
Leader moves through the entryway with control person 

. The uniform and possessions of the escort team 
member who was left behind are present and recovered, 
but the member himself is nowhere to be seen and does 
not respond to shouts. Member assumed K.I.A. and 
wireless receiver recovered, control and escort return 
through entry point and mirror returns to reflective 
surface. 


Later review of the recovered camera shows escort 
member grasping at the air where entry point should 
be and then turning to look up at the oversized torso. A 
brown gel seems to drip off the creature as it moves that 
disappears shortly after being dislodged as if 
evaporating. Several shots are fired at the creature's 
face with the automatic weapon carried by that land 
in the ‘face' of the creature, causing a spray of less 
viscous brown liquid to pour forth from the 'wounds’. 
screams obscenities as the face of the creature 
descends upon him and the camera is pushed to the 
ground. Camera feed remains dark for approximately 65 
seconds before light comes back and the camera films 
the creature crawling back to the expressway and pulling 
itself onto it, then crawling in the direction it was 
originally headed. 


believed to have been ‘absorbed' by the creature 
and perhaps digested. This may have been an example 
of how these unknown entities feed by direct contact with 
living material. Further study is recommended to be 
avoided on this issue. Returned ledger filed as 


The next test is classified as the Yellow Test. 


SCP-093 'Yellow' Test 


Mirror Test 4: Color (Yellow) 


D-class subjects no longer authorized for testing. Testing focus has 
been shifted to data collection after analyzing the articles brought 
back from the previous three tests to better understand the fate of 
the world accessed by SCP-093 and determine if safeguards or 
practices are required for our own world. Analysis of the brown fluid 
on the clothing of the lost escort team member has been filed 
with other recovered articles. 


Dr. has volunteered for this test as out of the possible 
candidates, he was able to cause SCP-093 to undergo a new color 
change. There is no evidence in Dr. _'s background of any illegal 
or criminal behavior, nor of any psychological problems. When 
presented to the mirror, the view changed to that of a cubicle office 
environment. 


For this test Dr. opted to use the wireless video system and 
forgo the pulley return system, stating he was confident he would be 
safe as none of the torso-creatures have been witnessed within a 
building where the mirror's destination showed. Video feed 
commences after Dr. has crossed the mirror. As with prior tests, 
SCP-093's current color, yellow, tinges all video material. 


Camera flickers to life and pans across a series of plain 
white cubicle constructs. Approximately 30 are visible. At 
the far end from the point of entry is an office module 
built into the wall with frosted glass walls and a glass 
door. Dr. approaches this door and investigates the 
etched writing on it: ‘Senior Manager - Stanlee Milamitz’. 
The door is unlocked. 


Dr. enters the office and examines the desk. A coffee 
cup is on the desk, a dark brown stain covering half of 
the inside as the liquid evaporated. There is a donut ona 


plate which Dr. picks up and lobs at a wall, on impact 
it thumps like a rock and falls. A file cabinet in the corner 
of the room draws Dr. _ 's attention and he goes 
through each shelf one at a time, stopping in the second 
drawer and taking out a file, then going back to the first 
and taking out two others. Continuing to the third and 
fourth drawers he withdraws four additional files and 
spreads them all out on the desk. The files are blue filing 
folders and he points with his finger and camera ata 
symbol on each of praying hands, stating aloud for the 
camera that all other files are stored in yellow folders. 
The blue folders are placed in his field kit. 


Camera attention is turned to the PC on the desk that is 
logged in and functional, Dr. comments aloud 
wondering where these devices are getting their power 
from as he has noticed no power outlets. This PC's 
desktop contains the logo of 'Faithful OS' and even has 
sounds, clicks of the mouse followed by soft hymn-like 
hums and opening of icons followed by angelic bells. The 
PC fails to yield any useful information to Dr. who 
abandons it and leaves the office. 


Approaching the other end of the office floor Dr. 

presses a button on the wall for the elevator and enters, 
finding he is on the 34th floor of a building having an 
unusual number scheme. The keypad layout goes from 
-115 to 115, and includes all floors. Before pressing a 
floor button Dr. requests that the wireless video 
transponder be moved to the elevator, and replaced with 
a construction cone to mark the entry point. A second 
transponder unit is placed outside the elevator and 
Control is instructed to recover the second unit and seal 
the test chamber should something happen to him, then 
when all is arranged he presses the button for floor -115. 


The descent down the elevator is long, consuming 15 
minutes, during this time the camera experiences one 
malfunction where the image jerks and turns to snow, 
restoring to show 14 other figures in the elevator with Dr. 


as video pans around, all of whom move as he 
moves to allow him space. They remain for 35 seconds 
then the camera flickers to snow and returns, Dr. is 
now alone in the elevator dancing as is assumed by the 
ducks and sways of the video feed. 


Dr. pauses to comment on a rising stench coming 
from below. At this point the elevator has reached floor 
-108. Dr. presses -110 to interrupt the descent down 
and exits when that floor is reached. The elevator doors 
open to an enclosed observation deck with several PCs 
and chairs. All PCs appear to have power. The ceiling to 
this deck is also glass and above it another deck is 
visible. Dr. approaches the monitoring stations and 
checks one of the PC screens. 


On the screen is the Faithful OS logo and a video feed 
toggling between four different views. The first view is a 
room of tubes similar to those found in test Violet which 
number in the thousands. The second view is a closer up 
view of these tubes as a camera glides in front of each to 
monitor the contents. All tubes the camera passes by are 
broken. The third view is facing the opposite direction as 
a camera glides vertically checking each observation 
station. A total of 10 can be counted and Dr. is visible 
as the camera passes by his own station. Looking up, a 
hovering camera unit with no visible means of propulsion 
glides up past him. The fourth view shows the ground 
floor below the observation deck where a single 
astonishingly large torso being is crawling in circles, 
bumping into walls and changing directions. From the 
camera feed the creature's estimated size is six stories. 


Returning attention to the contents of the PC Dr. 

moves the video log aside to see a simple text editor that 
was hidden behind it. A printout of this text was 
recovered and filed in the Field Kit. The printout directed 
Dr. to a safe on floor 54 and provided a combination. 
Dr. leaves the observation deck and proceeds to 54 
without event, arriving on a cubicled office floor. He 


proceeds to the desk mentioned in the document and 
found a safe hidden beneath a desk undisturbed. The 
combination provided opens the safe and reveals a 
notebook, filed in the Field Kit, and a peculiar revolver 
that has been returned as_ -_, in addition to the 24 
rounds of ammo found with it. 


Dr. proceeds back to the elevator without event and 
returns to 34. Given the sheer number of floors available 
to explore and the vital information obtained from the 
observation deck, the test is considered over and 
equipment is retrieved. Before returning through the 
entry point, Dr. investigates a terminal nearby that 
has power, and finds it shows the exact same screen the 
one on -110 shows. It is theorized that the author of the 
note installed a network virus to propagate it through the 
building so any PC on that network would be found and 
the information discovered. 


Dr. returns through the entry point and the mirror 
returns to a reflective surface. All materials filed with 
other SCP-093 recovered materials. Analysis of - and 
the ammunition for it postponed for reason that it would 
require deconstruction of one of the rounds and they 
may be beneficial until testing of SCP-093 is resolved. 
Video ends. 


The next test is classified as the Red Test. 


SCP-093 'Red' Test 


SCP-093 Mirror Test 5: Color (Red) 


SCP-093 distributed amongst staff until a new color could be 
generated by contact with it. Service Technician was able to 
cause SCP-093 take on a fierce red hue and glow, much brighter 
than the object's normal color. agreed to assist with a test of 
SCP-093. Per Dr. ‘'srequest, - given to Technician for 
use in this test. When applied to the mirror for the test, SCP-093 
generates an unknown environment. No color tinge appears present 
on the displayed destination, which is comprised of red stonework. 
Technician enters the mirror and video capture begins. 


Video flickers to life and Technician , Known 
hereafter as Subject, is viewing a large cylindrical pillar 
that is rotating on its own. Object is of unknown height 
and appears to be 1.8 m (6 ft) in width. Holes are 
distributed throughout the object at seemingly random 
intervals. On occasion a beam of white light is emitted 
from these holes. Turning of the camera finds that the 
beams are connected to a multitude of objects similar to 
SCP-093 that are part of the room's wall. The room turns 
out to also be cylindrical in shape with countless copies 
of SCP-093. 


Subject turns back to entry point and finds it is a section 
of the wall that is missing its copy of SCP-093, 
presumably the one carried with Subject. Other sections 
of the wall on inspection are also found to be missing 
their copies, leading to speculation that this may be 
some sort of central array. Subject finds a ladder in the 
floor while examining the room and proceeds down it at 
Control's request. 


The ladder exits into a large clean room full of computer 
equipment that appears antiquated compared to 


previously encountered equipment. Large computers 
running on reel-to-reels are clicking and spinning at 
various locations, a light bulb of unknown meaning turns 
on for ten seconds then turns off. A large CRT monitor is 
displaying single words in 8 colors at roughly 5 second 
intervals. While observed the words 'Clean' 'Unclean' 
‘Clean’ 'Clean' 'Lost' 'Unclean' flash on the screen. 


Proceeding through the room it ends in a large glass 
window as another observation deck. This deck looks out 
over another series of tubes as witnessed before but far 
fewer and filled with a blue liquid. What appears to be 
electrical current dances over many of the tubes at 
erratic intervals. At least five tubes at first glance are 
empty and broken. At the observation window a 
keyboard is present on a pedestal awaiting a selection to 
be made. The options available on the screen are "Tube 
Status’ which waits for a numerical input, 'Reports’, 
‘Situation X-549', 'Situation X-550', 'Evacuation Log’, 
‘Bullshit’, ‘Agent - - Report’, and 'Facility Fire Plan’. 
<Video Expunged: All selections that generated text 
were transcribed by Subject and verified by a Control 
member who passed through the portal to recover them. 
This process took approximately two hours and video 
feed was deleted to condense this report. Recorded 
Documents are filed as - - > Video Interrupted. 


Control lost contact with Subject approximately 30 minutes after 
departure of Control tech. Subject was asked to remain in area and 
observe the machinery and the containment room to make 
observations for debriefing. The SCP-093 mirror portal returned to a 
reflective surface prematurely and all video contact with Subject was 
lost. Control was unable to re-establish due to SCP-093 being 
across the mirror. A time lapse of one minute and forty-eight 
seconds (1:48) was recorded before mirror portal re-established 
itself and Subject returned through portal. Subject appeared to be in 
good health and condition despite the time loss but spoke little. 


During immediate debriefing Subject underwent sudden convulsions 
and medical staff was alerted. While attempting to subdue Subject 


he displayed enhanced strength and used -_ to shoot one of the 
debriefing staff, killing them. Guards shot Subject once with a 
sidearm in the heart and once in the chest but Subject did not fall. 
All staff evacuated room and a second shot was fired by Subject 
which missed. A more heavily armed team entered debriefing room 
and used automatic weapons to dispatch Subject. Reports confirm 
that Subject did not bleed when shot but instead leaked a green/ 
brown substance that seemed to be a mix of solution observed in 
some containment tubes and the material recovered during Test 3. 


All further SCP-093 tests have been discontinued while review of 
materials recovered is in effect. A secondary tape recording device 
was found to have activated in the field kit after loss of video feed 
and its contents have been filed with other recovered materials. 


All recovered materials from SCP-093 testing are Level 4 
Classification. Release must be approved by no fewer than two 
Level 4 personnel.

Blue Test - Newspaper Article 1 


Only one item could be recovered during our initial test and that was 
a newspaper clipping found attached to a cork board in an 
abandoned bunker. Most of the articles were in a state of decay but 
one was firm enough for recovery. 


Most Holy Father Announces Progress, Unclean 
Being Cleansed! 


A rare public address directly from the Most Holy Father 
of The United Lands of the Son has declared that the 
Blessed Militia has driven back many of the Unclean who 
are skulking our lands now. New Rome, our capital, has 
been purged of the Unclean and citizens are encouraged 
to come back to their homes. Citizens who live in the 
surrounding countryside should not return to their farms, 
as the Unclean still roam the fields and plains around our 
glorious city and continue to grow in size. 


The Blessed Militia has developed new weapons which 
have proven capable of punishing the Unclean and 
driving them back into the Unfertile Lands. Construction 
has begun of a system to permanently close the Unfertile 
Lands off from our Blessed Lands in each affected area 
once all the Unclean have been driven away. The Most 


Holy requests that all citizens of our United Lands bow in 
prayer and offer tithe to recognize the sacrifices of our 
Blessed Militia in these troubled times. 


Reports have been coming in that falsely accuse the 
Blessed Militia of having committed sin against the 
citizens whose homes they are inhabiting as they travel 
bravely through Contaminated lands. The Most Holy 
would like to remind the people that blasphemy against 
any who wear His mark is the most grave of sin and 
unfounded accusations will be punished accordingly. We 
should work to support He and His Men however 
possible just as they lay down their lives for us.

Green Test - Newspaper Articles 2, 3, 4, Diary 


Our second test recovered many materials that helped to establish a 
sequence of events for this alternate world. The diary recovered 
provided a glimpse into the last days of the owners of the home from 
which it was recovered and may represent activity in other areas of 
the world as well. 


Newspaper Article 2 


Farms surrounding the city of Silver Feathers have 
reported being unable to contact neighbors across voice 
or video feeds in the last week. Until an approval is 
granted by the Regional High Father, an investigation 
cannot commence but he assures the people that these 
events have not escaped his attention. 


Residents are advised to notify their local Blessed Voice 
daily so any further disappearances can be addressed 
immediately. Residents are also advised to begin 
stocking their shelters to be ready for any situation. 


Newspaper Article 3 


Following the disappearance of the Blessed Voices from 


several outlying regions around the city of Silver 
Feathers, the Regional High Father has declared a 
Concern for Safety and Livelihood. Under this 
declaration, all farmland residents must evacuate 
immediately to their shelters. Scattered reports of an 
Unclean have come in but have yet to be verified. 


Newspaper Article 4 


— the city of Glorious Song has stopped responding to 
any and all communications, the worst can only be 
assumed and our hearts go out to any who are in the 
region who are unable to hear our words. The city of 
Silver Feathers Blessed Militia has reported several 
incursions by the Unclean into the city and have 
exterminated four of the abominations before they could 
become a danger to any residents. The Regional High 
Father reminds the citizens to avoid direct confrontation 
with the Unclean, conventional arms do nothing to the 
Unclean, only the most holy of implements will penetrate 
their sin, so do not put yourself in danger. 


Any citizens who suspect their neighbors indulging in 
heavy sin should immediately contact the Blessed Militia 
through designated check points — 


Diary 


- - | have the distinct feelin we're gonna die so I'm 
gonna write this all down now fer whoever comes along 
an finds our bones. My name is Herverf Jakulsiv and Im 
a farmer, | grows the rabsticks and the huskears. We 
raise the inks and the ooms. It's me, my wife, Opheri, 
and our two lil uns Treven and Lisstieria. | got this book 
en trade from the Blessed man who came by fer food 
and shelter, he told us to start gettin our shelter ready 
and not to let no other Blessed who comin by even know 
we're here, says the whole thing break down, nothing 
right no more. So | does as he said, got it all ready, we 
goin down there in the next day or so. In the morn, he 
was gone, which made the wife sad as he was polite to 


us unlike most of the others. Figure he didn wanna be no 
burder. Liss went out lookin fer him to be sure he weren't 
just round the house. 


- - He didn't turn up nowheres so we guess he left. 
Strange nuff Liss found is clothes round a mile er so 
away, an all his gear, but no him. She lef it all there and 
tha's fer the best if what happen that | think. I'm clearly 
no educated man, don't claim to be, but | can put two 
and two together and tell you that things are bad out 
there. For everyone and especially for us cause it's 
comin way too close. Sometimes, you can smell it, that's 
when we hide. Smells like a leg of meat that's been 
rotten for way too long and just won't go back into the 
dirt. Even the soil is rejectin em | guess, refusin to let 
them be buried to die 


- - |tcame. Too fast, we weren't ready. The smell 
came in the night, maybe we woulda been fine but the il 
uns were afraid so we went to the shelter. Trev was 
slow, he saw it, kept starin at it as it shambled by. It 
ignored us until he screamed when | was gettin Liss and 
the miss down in the shelter. | went to get him but... it 
was too fast. | saw him standin up there, screamin, and 
then its head came down on him, pressed over him. He 
tried to run for the stairs, tried to get to us, but then ina 
blink, he was gone and it pulled away. His clothes fell 
into the cellar like he vanished out of em. | got into the 
shelter, slammed the hatch and locked it. | think it knows 
we're here now, it'll try to get in, take us too.. no tellin 
how long we got, plenty of food tho.. 


| was wrong. The food was rotten, something got into it, 
or | just didn't notice. We're eatin what we can. There's 
food, but not enough, and that thing ain't leavin. It's tryin 
to find ways in, smelt the smell, comin from the lifeweb 
plug in the wall, something seeped through it and we 
kept away. It got all hard like a rock and don't smell no 
more. Maybe the power in the plug finally let it die. 


| went up, to peek. Cellar is fine, Trev's clothes still on 


the stairs. Peeked outside. We're not gonna make it. 
There were ten..twenty..thirty.. couldn't count, so many, 
all goin in a circle around the house, lookin at it with 
those faceless faces, and the stink, oh the stink. Went 
back into the shelter and locked the door. | think, | don't 
want to see my family rot away. | think faster is better, 
the miss, she agrees, we won't tell Liss, she'll be first, 
then my wife, my love.. then me. I'm sorry, but I'm not 
sorry. | gave the best life to my family possible. It was 
them Holy ones what brought this. 


I'm gonna pen this in memory to my great pap. He was 
old and knew stories older than himself. Says those 
Unclean they preach about, those Unfertile Zones they 
say stay out of. All cause of the Most Holy bringin the 
world together. Them things are the ultimate sin. 
Everything about us that was evil and impure, it's them. 
They don't know nothin but doin what they do, don't even 
know why they do it, they just do it, take us into them, 
then we're gone. 


| asked pap what they were and he lit a stick, took a puff, 
an he said - Don't know. Nobody knows, nobody who'll 
admit it. But if you see this symbol, if you see it.. you run 
boy, you run fast, you run far, and you hide, and you 
never go back where you saw it. That's all | know. - | 
remember the symbol, was on the rock he kept on his 
neck under his shirt. Next day, pap was gone, nowhere 
to be found, dad weren't sad, said he knew it'd happen 
one day, pap went home. See you soon dad, pap.. 


[DATA EXPUNGED] Symbol matched symbol found on 
SCP-093's surface as one of the deeper engravings. 
Also matches symbols noticed on video feed of final test 
on SCP-093 duplicates. 


Violet Test - Office Ledger 


The third test with SCP-093 resulted in the unfortunate loss of a 
security member but also allowed us to recover a ledger with insight 
into the medical procedures carried out on the alternate Earth now 


termed E-093. 


Patient: Jennifer McZirka 

Recovery Tube: 001-1 

Mixture: 35% Tears, 30% Nutrient, 10% H.F.T., 25% 
Blessing 

Summary: Jennifer McZirka is 20 cycles of age and 
during her 18th cycle was the victim of a hov-ride 
accident that resulted in brain damage and misalignment 
of her moral processes. She is prone to violent outbursts 
and can only be calmed down by impure stimulation. 
Because of this she actively seeks out strangers to 
mingle with and her parents have requested of the High 
Father that she be set to the Tears to mend her mind 
and body. Patient accepted. 


During preparation for the Tears subject went into a rage 
and the attending Hand went to recover a sedative. 
Jennifer tore her clothes off and screamed impure words 
at me so | locked the door and instructed the Hand to 
wait outside. | am half shameful to admit | laid with 
Jennifer a total of seven times before putting her to the 
Tears. It has been very long for me and her parents have 
abandoned her to our care, so care for her | will. Before 
setting her to the Tears | authorized a Blessed Probe of 
her body functions and found she is settled now with 
young and tests confirm it shall be mine. | have mixed 
her bath to accommodate this and she will soak in the 
Tears until her body is ready to give life. 


Patient: None 
Recovery Tube: 001-2 
Mixture: None 
Summary: None 


Patient: Alberious Farafan 

Recovery Tube: 001-3 

Mixture: 80% Tears, 20% Nutrient 

Summary: Alberious Farafan is a farmer from outside the 


city of Silver Feathers who claims to have lost family to 
the Unclean. He confronted the High Fathers of the city 
and demanded compensation and retribution for the loss. 
The High Fathers deny the existence of Unclean beyond 
the Unfertile Lands and refuse compensation or 
retribution. Alberious struck a High Father and was 
arrested and sentenced to a cleansing of the soul. 


His mixture is primarily Tears to seep into the soul and 
cleanse his heart and ease his pain. The Lawkeepers 
state his family is indeed missing so his sentence 
beyond the Tears has been dropped in sympathy for 
their loss. | used the last of the H.F.T. on Jennifer or | 
would have used less Tears in this bath, 80% is higher 
than | am comfortable with but the H.F.T. is becoming 
hard to obtain. | may have to go through the Dark. 


Patient: <====>

Yellow Test - PC Printout, Safe Diary, - 


The fourth test into E-093 provided us with documentation assumed 
to be written by a technician in either a medical or government 
facility. - , found in the safe, is being considered for SCP 
classification primarily due to the composition of the ammunition 
found with it and the advanced firing mechanism attached to what 
should be a very base firearm. 


PC Printout 


| did not trust the Overwatchers, | felt something was 
wrong years ago. Under my desk on floor 54 is a safe 
with a weapon in it, it is one of those used by the 
Blessed Militia, my brother has sent it to me. He says 
they are also not what they claim, they have done things 
to our fellows even more vile than what the Unclean 
would do. He tells me to be ready to fight. | cannot, it is 
not me, | do not know violence, | am too frail. You, use it, 
save yourself. 


Safe Diary 


My name is Herval Toliwis, | am a hard systems watcher 
here. My job is to monitor the Sinful who bathe in the 
Lord's Tears and then make sure that they reach the 
prescribed dilution time. | have been doing this job for 23 
years, and now things are falling apart. | can no longer 
abide by The Most Holy, | must speak the truth. 


We are being told to evacuate. The containment tubes 
have been breached. An Unclean has appeared in the 
Place of Rest and we are unable to destroy it. The 
livemotion footage shows how it came to be and this is 
what has unsealed my heart and mind and tongue. | 
must speak. Should the Overwatchers see this | will be 
silenced so | must hide it, thankfully they are ignorant 
with the hardware so | can hide this easily. 


The Overwatchers told us, we should leave last, to 
ensure the hardware contains the Unclean. What that 


means is we should distract it and die in case it breaches 
the watching decks. It has shattered nearly all the tubes 
and absorbed the people in them. | have dispatched the 
Eyes to the Unclean and they have touched it, bringing 
me back a sample of it. The Unclean are not sinners, 
they are not products of our disobedience. | suspect they 
are us. The Eyes have dated the sample, it is older than 
myself, older than my elders. It is over 200 cycles in 
ages. 200! 


The sirens are still sounding, but no signal has come for 
us to leave. | do not think this Unclean is alone. | have 
seen how they can get into places, between places. 
Between places! Is that where they have been, all this 
time? Between places? The makeup of the Unclean is 
unstable, molecules detach and reattach almost before 
my eyes, as if to move the entire thing reforms itself in 
space and time. Why does it not come up here? Too 
much effort? Or does it not sense me? They have no 
eyes, no mouth, no face, they cannot speak, cannot see, 
but they must be able to sense us. 


The smell, it is so strong, it comes from all directions. It is 
not a smell of the dead, it is a smell that comes from 
something that should be dead but does not know how to 
die. The War of The Holy Union, | think that was where it 
may have started. We are united under the Most Holy 
but what does he owe us? Nothing. We merely keep 
society running while those on high benefit. Is this not 
how it has always been? But now we are told we are 
pleasing the will of those above us in the clouds, those 
great beings who gave us the power to live and prosper. 
Those who we have never laid eyes upon but are told we 
must revere. Lies, all of it, it must be. 


| am using the Eyes to create a fluid to oppose the make 
up of the Unclean’s sample. Perhaps they will cancel 
each other out. | will leave soon and store the rounds 
here, | cannot use the weapon, | am too weak a man for 
this. | will protect my family with my mind and not with my 


rage, we will be safe in the fields, | Know where to go. 


| will go above now, to my family. | will leave the 
hardware running, | was told to turn it off, but this is 
where | defy them, it will run, this will watch, the Eyes will 
see for however much time they have. Someone will 
read this, and someone will know. Take the gun, take the 
fluid, do not listen to the Most Holy, we did, and we are 
damned. 


- is arevolver style weapon with two 12 bullet cylinders. The 
design of the gun has one cylinder on each side, raised slightly, so 
they may flip into the gun itself and then rotate, firing all rounds, 
before flipping back out and allowing it to be reloaded while the 
second is usable allowing a total of 24 shots before it runs empty. 
There is no firing pin on this gun, but instead there is a pull-back 
slide mechanism that must be used to prime the active cylinder. At 
the time of recovering, all 24 slots contained a syringe style bullet 
with 32 needles on the end. On impact it is assumed the force of the 
shot will press the liquid inside into the target. None have been 
tested. 


Of express interest is that these cylinders can hold standard .45 
caliber ammunition which has been tested. The gun uses an ultra 
high power magnetic rail system to deliver the shot so the 
gunpowder in the bullet is never used. In consideration is a redesign 
of a round that would utilize the gunpowder midflight to add even 
higher velocity to the round or that would explode on impact for 
higher yield. 


Red Test - PC Printouts 


The final authorized test with SCP-093 resulted in the loss of a 
skilled service technician but allowed us to recover very revealing 
documents that can only be assumed to not have been intended for 
public knowledge in any world. Curious among these is ‘Agent - - 
Report’ which appears to have been written by a Foundation 
employee several decades ago. 


While these paper printouts were the best material recovered it 
seems that the system used to create them allowed for multiple 


forms of input including typed and verbal speech-to-text. Some 
audio logs of the printouts below are available but must be 
requested in advance with fully written explanations as to why. This 
dual input system seems to explain the variances in the style 
between users as well with assumptions made on the part of the 
software while performing conversions. 


Facility Fire Plan 


In the event of any Emergency requiring the Facility to be 
evacuated, all Clear-4 staff should report to Train Station 
3 and use their Vial to call the Evacuation Train. Only 
one Vial is required to call the train and may contain any 
amount of Tears. An Empty Vial will not call the train. 
Clear 2 and 1 staff should remain at their posts until 
either 10 minutes after the departure of Clear-4 persons 
or until authorized by Clear-4 staff. Clear-3 staff should 
utilize the Protective Garments at their stations and 
weapon lockers before proceeding to designated Crisis 
Areas as dictated by Clear-4 staff. 


Reports 


Three Unfertile Zones have increased 25% in size in the 
last seven days. Containment Teams are not finding any 
presence of Unclean in these zones but they are visibly 
confirmed as expanding. Clear-5 level High Fathers have 
confirmed breaches in the Holy Chambers at each of 
these zones, all chambers found empty. It is believed 
that the Unclean have breached containment on the Holy 
Chambers. Dispatching additional guard to remaining 
Chambers. 


Situation X-549 


Expansion of Zone 6-4-TO has been confirmed. Unfertile 
Zone containment procedures in effect. Containment 
Staff dispatched to site. This is the tenth report in 30 
days, upgrading to Situation Status. Reports from 
Clear-5 High Fathers have stopped at all affected. The 
City of His Word has been placed on full lockdown and 


all travel denied in or out. Other cities are now in Alert 
mode and combat teams are being dispatched to city 
perimeters. 


Situation X-550 


The Great Land of Hufussia has fallen per satellite 
images. Entire landmass considered tainted. Outbreak of 
Sin reported in Levina and that landmass has requested 
assistance from the Holy Union. Assistance denied due 
to our own outbreak and mass reportings of Unclean. 
Clear-10 staff have issued the order to evacuate via the 
Gateway and for all Holy Union authorized persons to 
proceed to the nearest Sky Platform for evacuation to 
Star Eye Eden to continue monitoring status. Gateway 
Keys are being ejected to prevent spread from this 
center to other space/time vectors. Resurrecting Staff 
are being awakened to monitor and continue reports 
here as we evacuate. May His Blessings Forgive Our 
Greatest Sin.

Agent - - Report 


My name is and | am an agent at The 
Foundation, the year in my world is 1972. | assume it is 
the same in this world, but from what | have seen due to 
SCP-093, life on this world ended in approximately 1954. 
| have used SCP-093 to visit a number of locales starting 
and ending here in this center. | have seen the 
landscapes where no grass will grow. | have run from the 
‘Unclean' as they pursue anything they sense. | have no 


understanding of how they hunt but | have learned what 
they are. 


Approximately 350 years ago or so this world 
experienced a technological boom ours did not. The 
source of this seems to have been the arrival of He, a 
god-like being of unknown origin. He declared the world 
Unclean and full of Sin, and the only way to purge itself 
of this Sin was to purge the Sinners. A war, whoever was 
left alive, was Clean. Amazing advances in science were 
bestowed to all cultures for a period of ten years to 
prepare them for this war and during that time, He 
disappeared. The war happened anyway, the instigator, 
The Holy Union of Land, apparently the landmass that 
for us would become the United States. 


Records are sketchy and books that detail anything 
about this time period are forbidden in the world. | 
located a cache of recorded history by following a series 
of corrupted computer communications. It seems the 
primary weapon used in this war for His Love was in fact, 
people. Exposed to something called His Holy Tears, a 
liquid compound | have seen in use even today in 
abandoned medical facilities. His Holy Tears purge the 
Sin from the Unclean and make them love Him; at least 
that's what the label states. 


The records | recovered are very unclear about how this 
war was waged except to state 'His Holy Chosen walked 
the lands of the Sinful and took their sin unto 
themselves. Those who cried for His Salvation received 
it and are now our children. Those who denied His Love 
were purified in His Radiance. 


But something apparently happened no one knew how to 
deal with. The Unclean, the large creatures that are half 
aman and devour whatever they touch that lives and 
breathes. | actually found a scientific report written by 
someone who stumbled here with a SCP-093 copy. 
These creatures are the result of exposure to a very pure 
form of His Tears resulting in a genetic apocalypse 


occurring within the exposed. There are terms in here, 
something about Quantum Restructuring, | don't 
understand any of this but it means they were once 
humans like everyone else, that couldn't be controlled. 
But they COULD be contained. They seem to be 
attracted to His Tears and a central point was 
established in various regions where a person with the 
purest form of His Tears stays, keeping the Unclean in 
that area known as an Unfertile Land. 


Something went wrong with that too, not sure what, but 
everything fell apart. The power structure, the culture, 
the people, all of it fell to ruins and now those things 
shamble around the land as its new owners, with no 
purpose or direction. You can stand next to one if you 
can stand the stink and they just slip right past you. If 
you catch their attention though, that's it, they move like 
lightning if they need to and like a snail unless they have 
a reason to speed up. Sometimes, | think they chase just 
to do it, others, they move to kill. 


| think someone is in this facility, or someones, | keep 
hearing voices and requests coming from areas under 
the floor. | want to leave this before | explore the facility 
any further. | have sent SCP-093 back through the entry 
mirror to seal that gate. These things can't be let into our 
world nor should we have anything to do with this one, 
we're simply not smart enough to understand it all | feel. 


| don't think the Unclean can die. They're immortal, but 
they don't want to be. They just want to die. They're.. in 
my head | think.. | didn't notice it till just now but, 
equipment in this room is starting to react to me, words 
on the screen, begging for help. |, | remember touching 
the Tears, smelling it, tasting it, just a touch. Not eating it 
just.. touching to it, tasting for acidity, we have pretty 
stupid investigative procedure | think ha ha. 


The High Fathers are .. alive. They have technology we 
only imagine in our comics given by Him. Some of the 
records on this machine indicate space travel, but they 


didn't go far, just far enough to watch the world fall apart 
and wait to come back and take it.. but if they're up 
there.. who is in this building with me? 


I've seen the faces, of the people, the Unclean. They 
show up on the pictures cast by the machine, in the room 
with me, watching me. | think, they're everywhere on this 
world, only seen by machines now. They don't look sad, 
or happy, just, curious. They want to know..why..why 
them..why did it all happen? | don't know.. | just don't 
know.. 


they showed me things when i touched them and its not 
quite like the records say. the unclean remember it all, 
every person they touch becomes part of them, safe 
inside them, but dead to us. every mind, every feeling, 
every terror, its eternal to them. i kind of want to join 
them but.. too much to do.. they want me to.. find him, kill 
him. 


there was no war it was him him him him him IT. IT. it 
came from between the folds of time and space and 
worlds and light and dark something that is but should 
not be slipped in and called out to them as their god and 
they believed it and they tasted it and touched it and 
layed with it and became its property and did its will and 
IT IS STILL HERE the scp-093 it brought with it pulled 
forcefully with it built it i don't know they don't know but it 
belongs to him it lets him move between places between 
worlds so i BROKE IT ha ha ha i threw pieces of it away 
and through holes so those doors are closed just like 
ours is closed and i can't go home so what else can i do 


it calls out through the rock, somehow, it knows where 
they are but can't touch them, but if you hide the rock he 
can't call out and he's stuck too i got you you son of a 
bitch | GOT YOU BANG BANG ha ha 


i touched him. with my fist. and my gun. and he fell 
down. but he'll get back up. soon. i'm sorry, i did all i 
could, let me sleep now, please... let... me... slee 


SCP-094: Miniature Event Horizon 


Item #: SCP-094 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Since SCP-094 is apparently 
immovable, a research and containment facility has been built 
around its location (centered at4. °S,6.  °W) inthe guise of 
an Argentinian military research base. No unauthorized persons or 
aircraft may come within one kilometer of the site, enforced by joint 
SCP and Argentinian forces. 


SCP-094 itself is enclosed in a gas-permeable steel-reinforced 
plexiglass cube, 3 meters on a side, with a single door (also of 
reinforced plexiglass) in one side. This door must remain locked at 
all times, except with O5 authorization under tightly controlled 
conditions. This cube is kept in the center of a 20 m x 20 m room, 
accessible with Level-4 authorization. All personnel must secure 
themselves to tethers anchored to the walls before stepping onto the 
floor of the room. Security personnel are to be armed with 
tranquilizer guns in addition to standard armaments. 


Description: SCP-094 appears to be a perfectly black sphere, 

163 cm in diameter, suspended approximately 3 m off the ground 
with no apparent means of support. SCP-094 has been classified as 
a miniature event horizon: any matter that moves into SCP-094, 
including light, is irretrievably gone. However, SCP-094 is not a 
black hole since it does not exert a gravitational pull. 


SCP-094 has been known to occasionally emit a number of different 
sounds, including ambient sounds of nature, static buzzing, and 
sometimes human speech. No attempts to communicate with 
SCP-094 have yet succeeded. It is unknown whether these sounds 
come from SCP-094 itself, from some thing or things inside of 
SCP-094, or from some area that connects through SCP-094. A 
small percentage of persons appear to be drawn to SCP-094 


because of the sounds it emanates. 


SCP-094 was discovered in 192 in the Chubut Province of southern 
Argentina, and at the time was estimated to be 20 to 25 cm in 
diameter. Analysis of historical records indicates that the diameter of 
SCP-094 doubles in size approximately every 31 years. Primary 
research activities on SCP-094 are concentrated on finding how to 
stop or reverse its growth without inducing cataclysmic failure. 


Addendum: The hand on SCP-1032 designated SCP-1032-15 will 
achieve its "midnight event" on 09/04/2690, approximately the same 
date as SCP-094 will fully engulf the Earth at its current rate of 
expansion. 


Note: A few millimeters a month may not seem like much, and no, at 
the moment you cannot see SCP-094 change day to day, but if it 
continues its exponential growth, in less than two hundred fifty years 
it will be a kilometer wide, including vertically. And that is assuming it 
does not grow even faster, which is an assumption that almost no 
one here makes. - Dr. Llewelyn-Garcia

SCP-095: The Atomic Adventures of Ronnie Ray-Gun 


Item #: SCP-095 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-095 is to be placed in a 
standard polyethylene sleeve when not under scheduled research 
and stored in a standard locked filing cabinet to prevent damage or 
wear. High-resolution digital scans are available for any Level 1 and 
above personnel who wish to view SCP-095. 


Description: SCP-095 appears to be a set of three moderately 
aged black and white comic books printed in 1932. The front and 
rear covers are missing and several pages have been rendered 
illegible due to water damage. It was found by Agent in a small 
antique shop in Denver, Colorado, and purchased for a small fee 
without incident. The owner of the shop had apparently not read the 
item past the publisher's date on the first page. 


Forensic inspections of SCP-095 have revealed it to be genuine, 
though completely unremarkable save for its content. It is printed on 
cheap pulp paper and inked with dyes common to other publications 
of its era. The publisher’s stamp indicates it was produced by 
‘Future Funnies’, a company operating out of the town of Purple 
Lake, Ohio. All research and inquiries thus far have shown both the 
company and the town to be completely nonexistent. 


The comic itself is a pulp science fiction story entitled ‘The Atomic 
Adventures of Ronnie Ray-Gun’, featuring a lead character bearing 
an unmistakable resemblance to Former United States President 
Ronald Reagan. Each story opens with a large panel reading “In the 
Far-Fetched Future World of the 1980s, only Ronnie Ray-Gun can 
save the day.” It appears to follow an episodic format with one self- 
contained story per publication. The three stories are briefly 
described below. 


* Ronnie vs. Space Admiral Carter 


This story pits Planetary Governor Ronnie Ray-Gun and his sidekick 
Space Major Herbert against the titular Space Admiral Carter as 
they both vie for the position of Space Marshall. The events loosely 
follow the events of the 1980 Presidential Election. 


¢ Space Assassin! 


This story follows a character named Spaceman Hinckley as he 
prepares to assassinate Space Marshall Ray-Gun. He manages to 
catch Ray-Gun by surprise and wound him with his “Devastator Ray” 
before being subdued by Ray-Gun’s soldiers. The events obviously 
refer to the 1981 assassination attempt by John Hinckley, Jr. 


« Jungle Planet! 


This story follows Ray-Gun’s attempts to create an army of robots 
on the jungle-covered planet of Nica in order to protect it from the 
evil Sand Bandits. Although Ray-Gun is told that he will lose his 
command if he interferes with events on planet Nica, he sends his 
lieutenant, Space Colonel West, to secretly build a force under the 
cover of the jungle. When their plan is discovered, Space Colonel 
West publicly takes the blame and saves his superior. The storyline 
appears to be a simplified retelling of the Iran-Contra controversies 
of 1986. 


Possibly most interesting is the final page of each book, which 
advertises other stories published by Future Funnies. Investigation 
is under way to locate any surviving copies at once. The advertised 
stories are listed below. 


¢ Space Major Herbert Assumes Command! 
¢ Starman Willy vs. The Space Succubus

particular.

SCP-096: The "Shy Guy” 


Item #: SCP-096 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-096 is to be contained in 
its cell, a5 mx5mx 5 m airtight steel cube, at all times. Weekly 
checks for any cracks or holes are mandatory. There are to be 
absolutely no video surveillance or optical tools of any kind inside 
SCP-096's cell. Security personnel will use pre-installed pressure 
sensors and laser detectors to ensure SCP-096's presence inside 
the cell. 


Any and all photos, video, or recordings of SCP-096's likeness are 
strictly forbidden without approval from Dr. and O5-. 


Description: SCP-096 is a humanoid creature measuring 
approximately 2.38 meters in height. Subject shows very little 
muscle mass, with preliminary analysis of body mass suggesting 
mild malnutrition. Arms are grossly out of proportion with the rest of 
the subject's body, with an approximate length of 1.5 meters each. 
Skin is mostly devoid of pigmentation, with no sign of any body hair. 


SCP-096's jaw can open to four (4) times the norm of an average 
human. Other facial features remain similar to an average human, 
with the exception of the eyes, which are also devoid of 
pigmentation. It is not yet known whether SCP-096 is blind or not. It 
shows no signs of any higher brain functions, and is not considered 
to be sapient. 


SCP-096 is normally extremely docile, with pressure sensors inside 
its cell indicating it spends most of the day pacing by the eastern 
wall. However, when someone views SCP-096's face, whether it be 
directly, via video recording, or even a photograph, it will enter a 
stage of considerable emotional distress. SCP-096 will cover its face 
with its hands and begin screaming, crying, and babbling 


incoherently. Approximately one (1) to two (2) minutes after the first 
viewing, SCP-096 will begin running to the person who viewed its 
face (who will from this point on be referred to as SCP-096-1). 


Documented speeds have varied from thirty-five (35) km/h to km/ 
h, and seems to depend on distance from SCP-096-1. At this point, 
no known material or method can impede SCP-096's progress. The 
actual position of SCP-096-1 does not seem to affect SCP-096's 
response; it seems to have an innate sense of SCP-096-1's location. 
Note: This reaction does not occur when viewing artistic depictions 
(see Document 096-1). 


Upon arriving at SCP-096-1's location, SCP-096 will proceed to kill 
and [DATA EXPUNGED] SCP-096-1. 100% of cases have left no 
traces of SCP-096-1. SCP-096 will then sit down for several minutes 
before regaining its composure and becoming docile once again. It 
will then attempt to make its way back to its natural habitat, [DATA 
REDACTED] 


Due to the possibility of a mass chain reaction, including breach of 
Foundation secrecy and large civilian loss of life, retrieval of subject 
should be considered Alpha priority. 


Dr. has also petitioned for immediate termination of SCP-096 (see 
Interview 096-1). Order is awaiting approval. Termination order has 
been approved, and is to be carried out by Dr. on[DATA 
REDACTED]. See Incident-096-1-A.

Retrieval Incident #096-1-A 
<Begin Log> 
[ Time, Research Area _ | 


Capt. : It always sucks ass to get Initial Retrieval 


duty. You have no idea what the damn thing is capable 
of besides what jacked up information the field techies 
can scrape up, and you're lucky if they even tell you the 
whole story. They told us to "bag and tag." Didn't tell us 
jackshit about not looking at the damn thing. 


Dr. : Could you describe the mission, please? 


Capt. : Yeah, sorry. We had two choppers, one 
with my team and one on backup with Zulu 9-B and Dr. 

. We spotted the target about two clicks north of our 
patrol path. I'm guessing he wasn't facing our direction, 
else he would have taken us out then and there. 


Dr. : Your report says SCP-096 didn't react to the 
cold? It was - °C. 


Capt. : Actually, it was - . And yes, it was butt 
naked and didn't so much as shiver. Anyway, we landed, 
approached the target, and Corporal got ready to bag 
it. That's when Dr. called. | turned to answer it, and 
that's what saved me. The target must have turned and 
my whole squad saw it. 


Dr. : That's when SCP-096 entered an agitated 
emotional state? 


Capt. : Yep. [Interviewed now pauses for a second 
before continuing] Sorry. Got the willies for a second. 


Dr. _: That's all right. 


Capt. : Yeah. Well, | never saw its face. My squad 
did, and they paid for it up the ass. 


Dr. : Could you describe it a little more, please? 


Capt. : [Pauses] Yeah, yeah. It started screaming 
at us, and crying. Not animal roaring though, sounded 
exactly like a person. Really fucking creepy. [Pauses 
again] We started firing when it picked up Corporal and 
ripped off his leg. God, he was screaming for our help... 


fuckin 'A... anyway, we were blowing chunks out of the 
target, round after round. Didn't do jackshit. | almost lost 
it when it started [DATA EXPUNGED] him. 


Dr. : That's when you ordered the use of an [Papers 
are heard moving] AT-4 HEDT launcher? 


Capt. : An anti-tank gun. Started carrying it ever 
since SCP- got loose. I've seen those tear through 
tanks like tissue paper. Did the same thing to the target. 


Dr. : There was significant damage to SCP-096? 


Capt. : It didn't even fucking flinch. It kept tearing 
apart my squad, but with half of its torso gone. [He draws 
a large half-circle across his torso] 


Dr. : But it was taking damage? 


Capt. : If it was, it wasn't showing it. It must have 

lost all its organs, all its blood, but it didn't acknowledge 
any of it. Its bone structure wasn't hurt at all, though. It 

kept tearing my squad apart. 


Dr. :Sono actual structural damage. How many 
rounds would you say were fired at SCP-096? 


Capt. : At the least? A thousand. Our door gunner 
kept his GAU-19 on it for at least twenty seconds. 
Twenty fucking seconds. That's six hundred .50 caliber 
rounds pumped into the thing. Might as well been spitting 
at it. 


Dr. : This is when Zulu 9-B arrived? 


Capt. : Yeah, and my squad was gone. Zulu 9-B 
managed to get the bag over its head, and it just sat 
down. We got it into the chopper and got it here. | don't 
know how | never saw its face. Maybe God or Buddha or 
whoever thought | should live. The jackass. 


Dr. : We have obtained an artist's depiction of 
SCP-096's face. Would you like to view it? 


Capt. : [Pauses] You know, after hearing that 
thing's screams, and the screams of my men, | don't 
think | want to put a face to what | heard. No. Just... no. 


Dr. : All right, | believe we are done here. Thank you, 
Captain. 


[Chairs are heard moving, and footsteps leave the room. 
Captain (Ret.) is confirmed to have left Interview 
Room 22.] 


Dr. :Letthis be on record that | am formally requesting 
SCP-096 be terminated as soon as possible.

Document #096-1 


Documentation #096-1, of Experiment 096-1 


Experiment 096-1 is headed by Dr. Dan. Purpose is to test 
SCP-096’s abilities while obtaining complete physical description of 
SCP-096. 


D-9031 is a 32-year-old convicted felon and former tattoo artist. 
D-9031 is placed inside Bathysphere 303-A, which is then lowered 
in the Tonga Trench off the coast of New Zealand. Position is 
approximately km from SCP-096’s temporary containment cell at 
Site . The following was recorded via video surveillance inside 
Bathysphere 303-A, between it and Dr. Dan’s control site on the 
New Zealand mainland. 


Bathysphere 303-A reaches final depth of 10,800 meters. 
D-9031: It’s stopped. What now? 

Dr. Dan: Do you feel fine? No sickness, anything? 
D-9031: My ears hurt. 


Dr. Dan: That should be expected. Now, on your left should be a 
steel container. Open it, and there will be a manila folder holding 
several photographs. Open it and describe the first photograph, 
please. 


D-9031 complies. The camera is located so the photograph cannot 
be seen. 


D-9031: Nothing. It's an empty cell. 


Dr. Dan: Thank you. Please set this photograph face down in the 
receptacle to your right and look at the next photograph. 


D-9031: It’s the same cell, but there’s a... foot in it, | think. 


Dr. Dan: Describe it, please. 
D-9031: Uh... it’s pale and bony. Sorta creepy, actually. 


Dr. Dan: Place the photograph in the receptacle, face down, and 
look at the next one. 


D-9031: Ok... [pause] Oh shit! 

Dr. Dan: Describe the photograph. 

D-9031: It’s a... | don’t know, some creepy-ass person. 
Dr. Dan: Describe the photograph, please. 


D-9031: Hell, man! He’s pale, has white eyes, and somethin’ fucked 
up is happenin’ with his mouth. What the hell is this thing? 


At this point, approximately 13:32 standard time, Dr. Dan and 
Experiment Control is notified that SCP-096 has breached 
containment. The fastest path to SCP-096-1 has been cleared of 
civilians and other image-capturing devices, and SCP-096 is now 
being tracked by satellites via tracking collar. 


Dr. Dan: On your right, there should be another steel container. 
Open it. 


SCP-096-1: It’s a pad of paper and a pencil. 
Dr. Dan: Yes. Please draw a sketch of the photograph you saw. 


SCP-096-1 mumbles an expletive and spends the next twenty 
minutes drawing a sketch of the photograph. At the time of 
completion, SCP-096 is confirmed tobe km away from 
SCP-096-1. 


SCP-096-1: I’m done. 


Dr. Dan: Good. Place the drawing in the receptacle on your left and 
close the door. 


SCP-096-1 complies and the sketch leaves Bathysphere 303-A in a 


watertight buoyancy container. The other photographs are then 
incinerated in the onboard incinerator. 


SCP-096-1: What now? 
Dr. Dan: Please stand by. 


Forty minutes pass. SCP-096 is now confirmed to be at 
SCP-096-1’s position and is diving. Transponder signal ends at 
9,339 meters as pressure goes beyond the device’s operational 
limits. The camera shows the bathysphere shaking slightly. From 
SCP-096-1’s reaction, it is assumed SCP-096 is on the hull and is 
visible through the viewport. 


SCP-096-1: Oh fuck! Shitshitshit! What the fuck is that?! 


Video and audio feed is cut as the hull of Bathysphere 303-A is 
breached. SCP-096 is recovered by surface recovery team 
Foxtrot-303-A without incident. Sketch of SCP-096 is also 
recovered, and a quick test confirms no hostile reaction from 
SCP-096. 


Sketch is sent to Experiment Control on New Zealand while 
SCP-096 is moved to permanent containment. 


Incident 096-1-A 


“So containment has been attained?” 

“Yes, doctor.” 

“Let me see the security footage.” 
<Begin log> 


A large steel cube is shown in the middle of a research 
lab, which is teeming with a dozen or so researchers. In 
view of the camera is a control booth, displaying 
readings from the various sensors inside the cube. 


[Fast-forward one minute, thirty-two seconds] 


The control booth operator leans forward, alerted to the 
various readings on the sensors. Approximately five 
seconds later, a steel wall on the containment cube 
receives a sizable dent bending outward. The dent 
becomes larger before breaking. SCP-096 is seen 
bending the steel away, frantically trying to escape. 
Emergency plates drop on the cube as a containment 
breach is sounded. 


[The security tape has SCP-096’s face blurred out as per 
containment protocol] 


Two security teams enter the room as SCP-096 breaks 
out of containment. Live rounds and tranquilizer darts are 
fired to no visible effect. Approximately 90% of 
researchers and security personnel have directly viewed 
SCP-096’s face, and a Code Lima is declared. The room 
and surrounding areas are sealed and flushed with - 
class nerve agent. 


Approximately two minutes later SCP-096 breaches 
Research Site and travels km/h through the outside 
desert, traveling 

<End log> 


“Echo Romeo-Actual was assigned to immediate containment 
breach. When we realized just how big a breach we were dealing 
with, we were completely overwhelmed. Funny, how even the best 
and brightest minds in the world can be so unprepared.” 


“So you are saying it is your own fault?” 


“Absolutely not. This was a new discovery in SCP-096’s behavior. 
We had no way to know, and we are lucky it did not turn into an XK.” 


<Begin log> 
HelmCAM footage from ER-A 5 


[Footage from inside a UH-60 shows SCP-096 on the 
desert floor, moving at considerable speed.] 


ER-A 1: This is Echo Romeo-Actual. We have visual of 
the target! -Unintelligible- ...at [DATA EXPUNGED] knots 
and increasing! 


ER-A 1 listens to the radio as orders (identified as 
coming from Dr. Dan) are relayed. SCP-096 can be seen 
slowly gaining speed. 


ER-A 1 motions off camera. ER-A 3 appears, holding a 
modified XM500 anti-materiel rifle. Two shots are fired; 
the first misses and the second hits SCP-096 in the 
lower leg. SCP-096 stumbles but recovers. Speed 
change is insignificant. 


ER-A 1: -Unintelligible- ...peat no effect on target! 


ER-A 1 motions to ER-A 3 again. ER-A 3 fires three 
more shots; the first two miss, and the third hits SCP-096 
in the head. SCP-096 falls, skids, and rolls several times, 
reducing its speed minimally. SCP-096 rolls to its feet 


and continues unabated. 


Camera pans up to see eight V-22 Ospreys (belonging to 
MTF Tau-1) flying overhead and past the helicopters on 
the same outbound vector as SCP-096. Camera cuts 
out.

Video interview log 096-1-A 


[Dr. Oleksei appears very calm, determined, and 
answers all questions slowly and deliberately.] 


Interviewer: Where were you exactly at the time of 
breach? 


Dr. Oleksei: On break, getting a cup of coffee. It was 
pure luck | wasn’t caught in the containment area. 


Interviewer: Describe your actions directly after the 
containment breach. 


Dr. Oleksei: | sent Echo Romeo-Actual after SCP-096 
and alerted Dr. Dan to the situation. We then set upon 
the task of locating SCP-096-1. Once the general 
direction of SCP-096 was determined, | sent Mobile Task 
Force Tau-1 ahead to evacuate civilian population 
centers in SCP-096’s path. All according to containment 
protocol.

Video interview log 096-1-B 


[Dr. Daniel sits patiently. On the table in front of him 
in is what looks to be a set of modified night vision 


goggles. | 


Interviewer: For the record, where were you exactly 
during SCP-096’s containment breach? 


Dr. Dan: In the [DATA EXPUNGED] Mountain Range, 
trying to find more information on SCP-096’s origins. It 
was a quick research expedition, so | left Dr. Oleksei in 
charge of containment. He is competent enough, if a 
bit... eager, and has proved himself in the past. This is 
all confirmed by the various related paperwork, so don’t 
go thinking- 


Interviewer: It was just for the record, doctor. Now, 
knowing that SCP-096 is immune to all known forms of 
damage while in an enraged state, why would you order 
the sniper attacks from the emergency response team? 


Dr. Dan: Why not? If there was a chance to slow down 
SCP-096 and give MTF-Tau-1 more time, then we had to 
try it. It put ER-A in no danger and the choppers were in 
danger of being outrun anyway. Honestly, ER-A could do 
little else to help or harm the situation. 


Interviewer: | see. Now, could you explain this? 
[Interviewer motions to the goggles lying on the table] 


Dr. Dan: Yes. This is Project SCRAMBLE, an eyepiece 
we assigned to ER-A and MTF-Tau-1, designed by Dr. 
Oleksei and myself specifically for SCP-096. It carries a 
small microprocessor which constantly analyzes the 
viewing field for the facial features of SCP-096. Facial 
recognition software inside instantly identifies them, 
scrambling the image into an unrecognizable mess 
before the light reaches the human eye. It’s quite 
ingenious, really. 


Interviewer: And expensive. 


Dr. Dan: Very. Which is why it’s such a shame it didn't 
work.

MTF-T-1: What outbound vector is the target currently 
heading? 


Big Brother: Target is currently westbound... traveling

hundred kilometers. Shit... MTF, we’re suggesting Echo 
Romeo begin evacuating the I-40. | don’t know how 
many cars the target has wrecked. 


MTF-T-1: Hold one. That’s a negative, Big Brother. ER-A 
is reporting that the target is outrunning their choppers. 
They can’t get ahead of him. 


Big Brother: Then get them to stop the motorists on the 
other lane... | don’t know how many people have seen 
this thing’s face.

“The first three elements of Tau-1 succeeded in gathering the 
townsfolk in the first three towns without incident. SCP-096-1 was 
confirmed to not be in any of these when SCP-096 ran through each 
in turn without stopping. However, a video log in MTF-Tau shows 
SCP-096-1 being identified in the town of [DATA EXPUNGED], and 
the ensuing incident.” 


“Show it.” 
< Begin log> 


HelmCAM footage from Element 4 of MTF-Tau-1, in 
the town of [DATA EXPUNGED] 


Most of the townspeople are gathered in the square, all 
blindfolded. Helicopters sweep the town. Indistinct orders 
are heard over loudspeakers from both the helicopters 
and ground personnel. 


MTF-T-1 (Over TauCOM radio and loudspeakers): 
The target is entering proximity zone! All units activate 
SCRAMBLE gear and begin crowd control procedures! 
All civilians are not to move from their spot or remove 
their blindfolds! If you move or touch your blindfold you 
will be shot! | repeat, all civilians are- [Orders are 
drowned out by a loud shriek coming from outside the 
camera's view] 


Approximately two kilometers away, SCP-096 is seen to 
be coming over the crest of the hills. It tries to slow down 
on the descent but trips and tumbles down at high 
speed, crashing through several houses before regaining 
its footing almost without delay. 


Unknown voice over loudspeakers: [Unintelligible]... 
Civilians are not to move! You will be shot! | repe... 
[Unintelligible] 


Several shots are heard, none of which are directed at 
SCP-096. SCP-096 stops for one second before running 
into the crowd of townsfolk, throwing many aside and 
trampling more. More shots are heard as the crowd 
begins dispersing, the loudspeakers unintelligible under 
the vocalizations of SCP-096. SCP-096 locates 
SCP-096-1, a middle-aged man, and the camera views 
SCP-096 grabbing him before it is hit by a fleeing 
townsperson and is dislocated from the helmet.

Video interview log 096-1-C 


Major Jack Wilford (Current commander of MTF 
Tau-1): | was looking through SCP-096-1’s house with 
my squad. Poor bastard was a semi-pro mountaineer, 
took a trip to the . Apparently he took a snapshot of 
the landscape, and just happened to catch SCP-096 in 
the background. 


[Wilford holds up four fingers for emphasis] 


Wilford: Four pixels. Four fucking pixels. | doubt the guy 
even knew what he saw. He was probably just lookin’ at 
the picture one day, noticed an off-color patch of snow, 
and went on with his day. 


Interviewer: How did you find it? 


Wilford: Our SCRAMBLE gear picked it up right away. 
The lieutenant got the picture and took it down to the 
chopper before | ever got to see it. By then the damn 
monster had taken down Big Brother and it had peeled 
open the [former] Major’s Stryker. All hell was breaking 
loose. 


Interviewer: So the SCRAMBLE gear was ineffective? 


Wilford: Ineffective? The goddamn SCRAMBLE were 
pieces of shit that killed the whole damn task force. You 
know only three people are alive besides me? All 
because some retard egghead thought of a “state-of-the- 
art countermeasure to SCP-096’s hostile reaction.” 
Those bloody idiots could have just put a bag over the 
target's head and be done with it but no, we had to use 
state-of-the-fucking-art SCRAMBLE.

Interviewer: Do we need to administer a sedative, 
doctor?

Dr. Dan: No, no. | apologize. [Sighs] SCRAMBLE was 
really an ingenious idea. However, it was a failure 
because we did not fully know how SCP-096 worked. 
You see, as the chip inside SCRAMBLE picked up 
SCP-096’s facial features and began scrambling them, 
there was a split-second of uninterrupted light flow to the 
retina. Computers are fast, but not as fast as light. So, 
there was a split-second image of SCP-096’s direct face 
sent to the brain. It wasn’t even consciously received, but 
apparently it was enough to trigger the hostile reaction in 
SCP-096. 


Interviewer: So, with this report of the photograph... 


Dr. Dan: That’s the most disturbing part of this whole 
incident. You know when the former SCP-096-1 went on 
his mountain trip? 199. That’s years of that photo 
hanging there before he saw SCP-096. Since the brain 
doesn't need to be aware that it is viewing SCP-096’s 
face to trigger the reaction, there can be ticking time 
bombs hidden literally anywhere in the world. How many 
photographs are out there containing SCP-096, just 


going unnoticed, waiting for a careful eye? As | said 
before, | want this thing terminated. Now.

Reporter: The plane, which seems to be military in 
origin, has no outward markings designating it as a part 
of the U.S. military. While first responders look for a 
black box recording, it is thought by police that the plane 
crashed due to a massive cabin breach in both the 
cockpit and fuselage.

SCP-097: Old Fairgrounds 


Item #: SCP-097 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-097 is contained within 
the limits of the property where it was initially discovered, Zone- 
SCP-097. The property is surrounded by an 8 metre tall concrete 
block fence, fitted with barbed wire and security camera systems. 
Satellite images of Zone-SCP-097 are to be doctored, removing all 
traces of the area. 


Any and all new plant growth outside the containment area 
suspected to originate from within the SCP is to be sterilized through 
application of boiling saltwater and/or incinerated. Absolutely all 
abnormal behaviour is to be reported to Doctor Bridge within ten 
minutes of occurrence. If any personnel or their families experience 
hallucinations or thematically related dreams outside of containment, 
they are to contact Doctor Bridge to schedule treatment. 


Localities surrounding SCP-097, specifically [REDACTED], are to be 
monitored from the first of April until the first of November every year 
for affected civilians. Medical establishments dealing with sleep 
abnormalities are to be monitored for signs of SCP-097’s influence. 
Civilians below the age of 16 encountered alone within 1 square 
kilometre of Zone-SCP-097 are to be taken into Foundation custody 
and are to be treated with a Class B amnestic and returned home, or 
the nearest police station. Personnel tasked with the return of 
civilians are to avoid public exposure; each Agent is to be assigned 
a cover story to follow if they do encounter civilians en-route to their 
destinations. See Level 3 staff for details. 


The morning after the first frost of the year, a team of twenty-five 
Agents armed with agricultural tools are to enter SCP-097 and clear 
away the outer plant matter. This process is not to continue past 
dusk. 


Description: SCP-097 is a ten acre area of land in the state of 
[REDACTED], in the Midwestern United States. It is the abandoned 
remains of the [REDACTED] County Fair 1969, an area of 
approximately 2.3 km? (approx. 5.4 sq. mi). Structures within the 
SCP area exist in a state of moderate disrepair, consistent with the 
expected age and environment. 


At the centre of SCP-097 lie the remains of a 1956 Buick pickup 
truck, majority of which is crushed beneath a colossal pumpkin of 
unknown subtype, henceforth SCP-097-01. SCP-097-01 stands 
approximately 7.4 metres (24.3 feet) tall and 8.1 metres (26.8 feet) 
in diameter at its widest. Current estimates put SCP-097-01 at 
approximately 15,000 kilograms (approx. 33,070 pounds). This 
pumpkin remains roughly spherical in shape, instead of spreading 
out under its own weight as would be expected of a plant of its size. 


The remaining portion of SCP-097 (approx. 2 km?) is overgrown with 
several dozen varieties of pumpkins, with over seventy subspecies 
yet identified, and many previously unknown to agriculture. Many of 
these pumpkins have been shown capable of growing to enormous 
sizes, the average estimated weight being around 250 kilograms 
(avg. 550 lbs). These pumpkins, along with the assorted other crops, 
grow with, on and around the remains of the 1969 fairgrounds, 
creating a mazelike arrangement of plant life. The average height of 
the “walls” within SCP-097 is 1.6 metres, though this may vary from 
year to year. 


Between April and November each year, the area within SCP-097 
has produced a number of anomalous phenomena ranging from 
benign to implicitly aggressive. To date, seventeen Agents have 
been severely maimed within SCP-097, eight having died. See 
Event Log SCP-097 for a brief listing of recorded phenomena. 


Addendum - Historical Note: Prior to the construction of 
SCP-097's containment wall, instances of what are now known as 
SCP-2171-1 were occasionally observed to form fragmented ‘walls’, 
and at one point a near-complete ring, of 2171 around SCP-097's 
area of effect. This behavior ceased following the containment wall's 
completion. The purpose and implications behind this interaction are 
as of yet unknown. 


Effects of SCP-097 on Children: In addition to its immediate 
effects outlined in Event Log SCP-097, SCP-097-01 appears to 
produce an undetectable signal towards children in an undetermined 
range. For clarity, “children” will refer to individuals up to the age of 8 
10. 


* Beginning in early April, civilian children within SCP-097’s 
undefined range may be overcome with somnambulism on 
clear nights. Affected children will move around their homes, 
stopping to face closed doorways for several seconds before 
moving to the next nearest doorway, eventually returning to 
bed. At first, this behaviour will occur only once a week, 
beginning with only the doors on a single floor. This 
sleepwalking will become more frequent, by mid-August 
happening every night. If forcibly awoken at any time during 
these episodes, they will scream for several seconds before 
succumbing to a degree of confusion. After an affected child is 
awoken in this manner, the effect will cease, and the child will 
never show any further signs of SCP-097’s influence. 


* Over the course of two to three months, these episodes will 
become more thorough, affected individuals seeking out each 
doorway inside their home, as well as those on their 
household’s property, such as garages, car doors, and fence 
gates; eventually, they will begin visiting the front doors of 
neighbours. Beginning in September, affected children who 
have remained undisturbed during these episodes will begin 
to remain outside at sunrise, laying on grass near their 
homestead and returning to full REM sleep. Affected children 
may recall dreams centering around autumn activities. 


Between September 1st and November 1st, if the affected 
children have not been awoken during the preceding 
sleepwalking episodes, they will cease the previously 
established activity during the sleepwalk, and instead begin to 
walk directly towards SCP-097’s location. They will travel over 
fields and down secondary roads, steadily moving towards 
SCP-097. Local geography consists mostly of undeveloped 
Foundation-owned property, facilitating uninterrupted travel. 
Upon arrival at SCP-097, an affected child will sit down before 


SCP-097-01 and begin singing unidentifiable gibberish as 
music begins to play. While a number of instruments have 
been recorded, simple drums and pipes are the most 
consistently encountered. 


¢ After several minutes, childlike entities will crawl out from 
tangled flora, or break out of larger pumpkins within SCP-097. 
The children will be wearing whatever they were last seen 
with, most often pyjamas or similar clothing. Many of these 
entities match those children known to be lost to SCP-097-01. 


¢ The entities will surround the affected civilian child, dancing 
and singing in a circle as SCP-097-01 begins to emit dim light. 
The affected child will awaken, normally expressing a great 
deal of terror; the instant any vocalization is produced, the 
entities will swarm and kill the child. Methods used are 
different in each instance, but usually involve dismemberment 
or strangulation. At this point, any and all efforts to interrupt 
the entities will fail, whether through breakdown of equipment, 
sudden intangibility of the subjects, or express violence on the 
part of SCP-097. 


¢ After the death of the affected child, SCP-097-01 will split 
open and the entities will hurl the remains into it, before 
climbing in themselves. SCP-097-01 will then close, and the 
music will stop. 


Before the containment wall was erected, at least children 
between the ages of 3 and 10 are known to have been lost to 
SCP-097. See Event Log SCP-097 for current examples of 
SCP-097’s behaviour.

SCP-098: Surgeon Crabs 


Item #: SCP-098 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Members of SCP-098 are to be 
kept ina 10 m x 20 m room with small pools of water and a sandy 
substrate. Rocks and driftwood are to be left in a random 
arrangement for SCP-098 to nest in. 


The enclosure is to be cleaned on a weekly basis. During this time, 
all members of SCP-098 are to be accounted for first, to prevent 
injury or death to personnel or SCP-098. Any members of SCP-098 
that appear ill or injured are to be removed and examined. 


Description: SCP-098 is a species of previously unknown 
crustacean. They resemble crabs, but rather than chelae, the front 
limbs terminate in knife-like structures that incorporate silica to form 
an extremely sharp edge. Specimens reach larger size than normal 
for land-dwelling arthropods, at 40 centimeters tall and as large as 
60 centimeters across. 


Specimens of SCP-098 prefer an environment with ready 
concealment and shallow pools of water. They are able to breathe 
both water and air, splitting their time between the two 
environments. They also are capable of vocalizations, using a 
larynx-like structure attached to primitive lungs. 


SCP-098 demonstrates pack-hunting behavior when attacking prey. 
When specimens detect a prey animal, they will attempt to surround 
it. They will mimic the sounds made by the creature, apparently to 
confuse it or to draw it into position. When ready, one specimen will 
approach the prey animal. When its attention is fixed on the first 
specimen, others will move behind the prey and attempt to cut the 
tendons of the legs or other limbs. They will continue to mimic the 
sounds the prey animal makes to disorient it. After making a cut, a 


specimen of SCP-098 will spit a viscous mucus over the wound. 
This substance hardens rapidly, preventing blood loss or infection. 
This continues until the prey animal is completely immobilized. 


At this point, specimens will begin to feed on the prey animal by 
cutting off small pieces of flesh. This begins with soft, readily 
accessible tissues, such as those of the face and extremities, before 
moving to other parts of the body. Specimens of SCP-098 will only 
feed so long as the prey animal is capable of respiration. Feeding 
can last several hours or several days, depending on the size of the 
prey animal and the number of specimens present. 


Specimens of SCP-098 show some ability to communicate, alerting 
each other to the presence of threats or potential food over short 
distances. It was initially thought that SCP-098 might display human- 
level intelligence, but are now believed to merely parrot human 
speech. 


SCP-098 normally poses little threat to adult humans, preferring 
smaller prey, such as dogs, cats, and small pigs. However, they 
have attacked larger prey when a sufficient number of specimens 
were present, or else other food was unavailable. 


SCP-098 was discovered in , Brazil, after a rash of child 
disappearances. 


Addendum 098-1: SCP-098 is more intelligent than previously 
thought. They adapt quickly to changes in their environment, and 
have shown an ability to remember patterns (such as feeding and 
cleaning times, and habitual movement of personnel entering their 
enclosure). Cleaning personnel must ensure that they regularly vary 
their routes through the enclosure to prevent incidents. Dr. Mann 
has taught several of them simple tricks, and they seem to 
understand the meanings of several commands. Testing will 
continue.

SCP-099: The Portrait 


Item #: SCP-099 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-099 is kept in a 1 m by 
75 cm wall-mounted, fireproof case in Gallery 27. Standard climate 
and humidity controls apply to this section of the Gallery. Due to its 
properties, SCP-099 can only be viewed within the gallery by Level 
2 staff or higher, and only from a distance greater than five meters 
and for a period not to exceed five minutes per day. When not being 
viewed, the case is to remain shut and electronically locked. 


Description: SCP-099 is a 73 by 50 cm painting titled "The 
Portrait." Created in 1935 by surrealist painter René Magritte, the 
original painting possesses memetic properties that trigger acute 
paranoia and lingering psychological effects when viewed for too 
long or from a distance of approximately three meters or less. The 
painting depicts a simple still life, with the addition of a single eye 
staring back at the viewer. 


A reproduction of the work currently hangs in the Museum of 
Modern Art in New York, with critical elements removed to prevent 
the paranoia trigger. For a detailed description of the changes, refer 
to Document 099b. Detailed reproductions and photographs of the 
original work retain its memetic properties. 


Those who have viewed the painting for too long or from too close of 
a distance become subject to the delusion that any being or 
depiction of a being with eyes is staring at them. In extreme cases, 
subjects report that inanimate objects are making eye contact. 


The condition is so severe that subjects will even report making eye 
contact with individuals whose heads are completely turned away. 
Depending on the length of the original exposure to the painting, 
subjects may suffer from this condition until death, resulting in 


severe paranoia and enochlophobia. 


Addendum: SCP-099 was recovered from the private collection of 
Kay Sage, another surrealist painter. Recovery was performed by 
MTF Theta-6 "Pink Panther." Mrs. Sage was unaware of the 
recovery and replacement of SCP-099, although pre-recovery 
investigation suggests she was aware of its properties and was 
either immune or careful not to look too closely. 


Magritte was still alive at the time SCP-099 was stored in Gallery 27. 
He remained under Foundation surveillance until his death in 1967. 
Research suggests that the painting's memetic trigger was 
intentionally created, although the effect and power of the trigger 
was likely unintentional. The Foundation has studied the rest of 
Magritte's work and found no anomalous memetic properties to this 
date.

SCP-100: "Jamaican Joe's Junkyard Jubilee" 


Item #: SCP-100 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-100 is to have six (6) 
guards patrolling the interior of the perimeter's fencing, and two (2) 
guards dedicated to the monitoring of the interior and exterior of 
both warehouses and the residential building, with rotations to occur 
every three (3) hours. Any unauthorized personnel found within 
SCP-100 are to be detained for questioning, prior to amnestic 
administration and release. 


Three (3) guards are to remain within the storefront of SCP-100, 
with rotations to occur every eight (8) hours. The storefront front 
entrance is to remain locked at all times, with keys provided to 
necessary personnel. 'Private Property’ and 'No Trespassing' signs 
are to be posted on the front of the storefront to deter any drivers 
from stopping at SCP-100. 


Any constructs SCP-100-1 creates are to be removed from SCP-100 
and melted down into slag, with the exception of SCP-100-2-A and 
SCP-100-2-B. Should SCP-100-1 become uncooperative, 
SCP-100-2-A and SCP-100-2-B may be removed from SCP-100 
until the time that SCP-100-1 becomes cooperative again. 


The largest of the two (2) warehouses within SCP-100 has been 
converted into a basic research facility. All objects created by 
SCP-100-1, excluding SCP-100-2-A and SCP-100-2-B, may be 
used for research purposes. Testing on SCP-100-1 itself may only 
be conducted with written permission from the acting Head 
Researcher. 


Description: SCP-100 is an abandoned scrapyard eighty (80) 
kilometers from , south Carolina, known as "Jamaican Joe's 
Junkyard Jubilee". The scrapyard covers roughly five thousand 


(5,000) square meters of fenced-off land, consisting of two 
warehouses, a storefront, and a small residential building, as well as 
neglected land and land used for storage. SCP-100 holds roughly 
fifteen hundred (1,500) vehicles, both pressed and unpressed, as 
well as roughly fourteen hundred (1,400) kilograms of separate 
scrap, estimated to be worth $5,000 (€3,870). 


SCP-100's anomalous effect manifests through SCP-100-1 and its 
constructs, including SCP-100-2-A and SCP-100-2-B. Autonomy is 
lost when SCP-100-1 or one of its objects cross the fenced 
perimeter of SCP-100, remaining in this state until reintroduction. 


SCP-100-1 is an autonomous, sapient, humanoid construct 
consisting mostly of copper piping, uninsulated copper wiring, and 
aluminum cans. SCP-100-1 lacks the ability for written or verbal 
communication; however, it possesses the ability to communicate 
using rudimentary sign language. SCP-100-1 is largely uninterested 
in conversation outside of sales, and information gathered from it 
has been limited. SCP-100-1 appears to possess skill in 
craftsmanship, demonstrating the ability to operate tools such as arc 
welders, drills, and power saws, as well as heavy machinery such as 
a car compressor and a fork lift. 


SCP-100-1 possesses the ability to create autonomous constructs 
similar to itself, using material available within SCP-100. SCP-100-1 
tends to create four (4) specific animals - iguanas, crocodiles, 
turtles, and flamingos - however, SCP-100-1 has been known to 
craft other species, such as domestic pets. To maintain compliance, 
SCP-100-1 has been allowed to keep two (2) objects, labeled 
SCP-100-2-A and SCP-100-2-B. 


SCP-100-2-A and SCP-100-2-B are constructs superficially 
resembling insects, assumed to be created by SCP-100, as they 
have occupied SCP-100 since initial discovery of SCP-100. The 
names "Raymone" and "Beatrice" are welded into the backs of 
SCP-100-2-A and SCP-100-2-B, respectively. They appear to 
operate as both companions as well as guards for SCP-100, as they 
patrol the perimeter of SCP-100 except during intervals of 
interaction with SCP-100-1. 


SCP-100-1 appears to follow a ritualistic schedule, repeating the 


same actions daily. 


* From 0800 to 1500, SCP-100-1 enters the storefront of 
SCP-100, seating itself behind a counter and attempting to 
bargain with any humans within the storefront. Occasionally, 
SCP-100-1 will return to the yard prematurely for reasons 
unknown. 

* From 1500 to 1600, SCP-100-1 interacts with SCP-100-2-A 
and SCP-100-2-B, communicating using vague hand and arm 
gestures. Interaction tends to consist of grooming, repair, and 
activities resembling 'Fetch' and 'Hide and Seek’. 

¢ From 1600 to 2000, SCP-100-1 performs various tasks, 
including taking stock of material within SCP-100, cleaning 
and maintaining tools and heavy machinery, and cleaning the 
interiors and exteriors of buildings present within SCP-100. 

¢ From 2000 to 0000, SCP-100-1 performs what is assumed to 
be leisurely acts, ranging from creating new constructs, 
interacting with SCP-100-2-A and SCP-100-2-B, and patrolling 
SCP-100. 

¢ From 0000 to 0800, SCP-100-1 enters the residential building, 
where it remains seated at a desk for the duration of this time. 


In the event that a human enters the storefront of SCP-100 during 
the interval of time SCP-100-1 is seated behind the counter, 
SCP-100-1 will attempt to bargain with them, using a variety of 
gestures to convey meaning. Most attempts by SCP-100-1 are to 
sell scrap, figures of its own creation, or repair services, however it 
has been known to purchase scrap. Despite SCP-100-1's inability to 
read, it possesses the ability to perform basic mathematics, as 
demonstrated by sales. 


Sales made by SCP-100-1 are typically met with some degree of 
unfairness. SCP-100-1 has been known to intentionally use faulty 
scales and contaminate scrap piles with cheaper metals, and has 
demonstrated knowledge of the area of effect within SCP-100, as 
SCP-100-1 has sold constructs repeatedly, despite the loss of 
autonomy when exiting SCP-100. Efforts to confront SCP-100-1 
about this have been met with both distress and indifference, with 
referral to a sign posted on the wall reading "No refunds, mon!" 
happening regardless of SCP-100-1's emotional response. 


SCP-100 was discovered on 11/09/76, following reports of strange 
machines operating from within the scrapyard. These rumors were 
discredited as urban legends, and a Foundation agent was sent to 
SCP-100 to act as the land owner until containment was performed 
under the guise of property sale. A wooden privacy fence was built 
along the former perimeter of SCP-100, one-way windows were 
installed in the storefront, and a highway now running through the 
nearby town of redirects the majority of civilian traffic. 


Addendum 100-A: Records show the property is owned by one 
"Joseph Duval", with the mailing address sharing the same name. 
Local utility companies report billing had stopped approximately 
three (3) months before the discovery of SCP-100, which was found 
abandoned save for SCP-100-1, SCP-100-2-A, SCP-100-2-B, and 
several avian and canine figures presumed to be made by 
SCP-100-1. Initial sweep of the buildings revealed the residential 
building to be mostly bare, with the only sign of former occupants 
being a note found taped to the door of the storefront. (see 
Document 100-A) 


Incident 100-A: On 06/03/05, SCP-100-1 created a humanoid, 
autonomous construct ten (10) centimeters in height, the first time 
SCP-100-1 has done so. Significant effort was put into this construct 
compared to others, with greater detail applied to the construct, 
including facial features and "J.J." welded into the back of the 
construct, and stainless steel making up the majority of the 
construct. SCP-100-1 placed the construct on the counter of the 
storefront for the duration of this schedule interval, both using vague 
gestures to seemingly communicate with one another. Following the 
confiscation of this construct, SCP-100-1 remained seated within the 
residential building of SCP-100 for a total of ten (10) days. 


Document 100-A: The following is a copy of the note recovered 
upon discovery of SCP-100.

SCP-101: Hungry Bag 


Item #: SCP-101 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-101 is currently stored in 
the sub-basement 0-2 of Site-19, inside of a standard fireproof 
document lockbox, within a reinforced concrete room of standard 
facility size. Said room has been fitted externally with a standard 
double-door airlock, and internally fitted with appropriate safety 
response equipment as well as biological response equipment. 


Only personnel of Level 3 are permitted to enter the SCP-101 
holding room; personnel of Level 2 or lower are permitted to interact 
with SCP-101 only with directives from Level 3 or higher personnel, 
or with standing directives. The airlock for SCP-101 is set toa 
standard ten (10) minute cycle, during which standard screening 
scans for biological or environmental hazards will be made. 
SCP-101 is under standing directives for use during 0600 and 2000 
hours. Outside of the airlock of the holding room for SCP-101, two 
(2) Level 2 guards are to be posted at all times, with overlapping 
shifts. 


Description: SCP-101 appears as a satchel or bag of intermittent 
size, with observations ranging from an opening of fifteen (15) 
centimeters in diameter, to seventy (70) centimeters in diameter. 
The depth of the container has varied with no standard mean of 
equality to the relative diameter. 


The primary feature of SCP-101 is what appears to be a semi- 
humanoid mouth contained within the opening of the bag, with a 
mean standard of thirty one (31) centimeters of depth into the 
container, without more than two (2) standard deviations of variance 
regardless of the apparent external depth of the container. The 
mouth consists of thirty-two (32) teeth of an off-white hue, all of 
equal shape and size consisting solely of incisors of approximately 


ten (10) centimeters in length. It has been observed, albeit not 
measured with accuracy, that within the mouth there is a tongue of 
indeterminate length, with observations ranging from fifty (50) 
centimeters to three point five (3.5) meters. 


The mouth appears wet and spongy; however, all attempts at 
removal of possible fluids have resulted in failure with damage to the 
instruments and harm to the personnel. The current decision is that 
SCP-101 may be a part of a larger entity of extra-dimensional origin. 
SCP-101 is not externally mobile; however, internal movements 
within the container can effect minor movements of the exterior of 
the container that consists of SCP-101's covering. 


It is understood that due to the nature of the size improbabilities of 
the container and object within, the object is of extra-dimensional 
interaction if not origin. 


SCP-101 has exhibited polymorphic abilities, as well as a low level 
of sentience. The photo on file depicts the item as it was discovered 
in 1979 in a remote area of the Cascade Mountains in the Pacific 
Northwest of the United States. Found along with SCP-101 was the 
decayed remains of a human, clad in a weathered black suit, seated 
upon an also-weathered parachute, missing the right arm up to the 
joint of the shoulder, which appeared to have bite marks through the 
remaining bones, assumed to have been inflicted by SCP-101. 
Speculation as to the identity of this deceased individual has led 
researchers to the conclusion that this was one D. B. Cooper, 
remains removed for the purposes of concealing the existence of 
SCP-101. 


SCP-101 has since changed appearance and shape with the 
apparent end of enticing a subject into reaching within the container. 
These appearances have ranged from money satchels, to deli 
boxes, to Krispy Kreme containers, to candy bags, all of which have 
an external appearance that is indistinguishable from that of the real 
containers. It has been proposed by Dr. that SCP-101 is semi- 
sentient in its attempts to lure subjects in. 


At the recommendation of [DATA EXPUNGED], SCP-101 is 
currently in use as a means of refuse disposal for Site-19. SCP-101 
has not shown adverse reaction to having foreign matter introduced 


to it, including, but not limited to: paper product, sewage, cafeteria 
refuse, metals, polymers, oils, and other products which are not 
consumable by any known biological entity. 


Addendum 1: So far, SCP-101 has not exhibited any abnormal 
behaviors from the standards observed, nor has SCP-101 emitted 
any substances, either foreign, extra-dimensional, or abnormal. 
However, it is the concern of Dr. that SCP-101 may produce 
an emission in the future. 


Addendum 2: Further examination under the direction of Dr. 

has determined that SCP-101 is ideal for the disposal of hazardous 
wastes and by-products of other SCP related projects. Dr. is 
noted as being opposed to this measure; however, O5- has given 

authorization for the project to continue.

SCP-102: Property of Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. 


Item #: SCP-102 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-102 is currently in the 
possession of Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. Because "ownership" 
appears to be a binding, deed-based legalistic agreement 
independent of eminent domain, SCP-102 cannot be transferred to 
Foundation control in the foreseeable future. 


Description: SCP-102 is a pair of stand-alone condominium-style 
beach houses located at : , currently owned by 
Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd. through the use of a dummy 
corporation known as Ghieser Housing Associates, and rented to 
MC&D members as a "vacation home for those with discerning taste 
in the eclectic adventures of privileged life". The two share similar 
properties, although [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


SCP-102-1 is the house on the left, number . 


When a person whose name is not on the lease for SCP-102-1 
enters the building, its interior appears as that of a crumbling empty 
house, with the prone body of the current leaseholder just inside the 
doorway if the house is occupied. Forensics tests on materials 
recovered from within the house show it to have been abandoned 
since the mid-to-late seventies. All photographs taken within 
SCP-102-1 corroborate this, regardless of the lease status of the 
photographer. However, when the leaseholder of the house enters 
via the front door, they find themselves in a fairly normal and well- 
kept condominium decorated with a nautical theme. Often, they 
report a sensation of dizziness upon entering, which fades within a 
few seconds. 


When the leaseholder of SCP-102-1 exits the building, they become 
what is to all intents and purposes an incorporeal spiritual 


manifestation, capable of willful invisibility and moving through solid 
objects unimpeded. They enter and remain in this state each time 
they leave the house for the duration of the lease. At the conclusion 
of their lease, or at any time they willfully break the terms of said 
lease, they fall briefly unconscious and awaken on the floor at the 
front entrance of SCP-102-1, which appears to them as it does to 
any non-leaseholder. No bodies have been observed being removed 
from the house prematurely. 


SCP-102-2 is the house on the right, number . 


At first glance, the effect of SCP-102-2 is identical to SCP-102-1. 
However, [DATA EXPUNGED] advanced decay, followed by [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. Leaseholders of SCP-102-2 who do not exit the 
building promptly at the cessation of their contract are to be declared 
"missing, presumed dead" thirty days following the end of their 
lease. Leaseholders who do exit the building are to be administered 
a regimen of steroid-based enhancers to counter the [DATA 
EXPUNGED}itored constantly for signs of psychological aberration. 


Addendum: All information in this report is unverified, though details 
are consistent from multiple sources. The content of this report was 
taken from interviews with D-Class personnel numbers 1070869 
(death sentence: rape, murder), 1033654 (life without parole: 
aggravated sexual assault on a minor), and 3370633 (death 
sentence: [REDACTED)), all of whom were frequent tenants of 
SCP-102-1 prior to incarceration. It is theorized that D-1033654 
made use of SCP-102-1's effect to commit [DATA EXPUNGED].

SCP-103: The Never-Hungry Man 


Item #: SCP-103 
Object Class: Euclid 
Status: Recontained 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-103 does not require any 
specific or strict containment procedures. If SCP-103 begins to show 
any signs of distress or erratic behavior, SCP-103 is to be moved to 
a 5m x 5m room while awaiting medical examination. 


N/A. See Addendum 103-a and 103-b. 


SCP-103 is to be maintained in a medically induced vegetative state 
to ensure compliance. It is to be kept alive with regular [DATA 
EXPUNGED] certain that the incisions are not allowed to heal, 
keeping SCP-103's stomach cavity exposed at all times. Class Four 
Foundation Restricted Medical Kit is to be employed by all personnel 
interacting with SCP-103. 


All [REDACTED] from SCP-103 are to be incinerated. At no time 
should any personnel come into unprotected contact with any object 
or substance removed from SCP-103. 


Description: SCP-103 appears to be an average human male in his 
mid-forties. Subject has been measured at 190 cm in height, and 
weighing in at 100 kg. Subject was born in 19 on th. The 
Subject has no known living relatives at this time. 


Subject checked into a small, local hospital in Mid-April at 
approximately 9:30PM. The subject explained to the doctor on staff 
that he had not eaten for weeks, due to not feeling any effects of 
hunger. After an initial examination, SCP-103 appeared to be 
perfectly healthy despite his condition. SCP-103 continued to 
explain to the staff that he didn't feel any need to eat. 


Upon obtaining and studying SCP-103, it appears that any solid or 
liquid coming in contact with the inside of SCP-103's stomach 
disappears instantaneously. Despite this condition, SCP-103 
appears to be perfectly healthy. At this point it is unknown how 
SCP-103 obtains the nutrients that a human would need to survive 
or where the provided food ends up after consumption. SCP-103 
does not expel any waste. SCP-103 has reported becoming thirsty 
[as a ‘normal’ human would], due to this, a standard cooler with 12 
bottles of fresh spring water are to be delivered to SCP-103's room 
at 6:30AM every morning. SCP-103 has shown no signs of hostility 
towards our staff, occasionally engaging in conversation and board 
games provided by the staff. 


See Addendum 103-b. 


Addendum 103-a: All testing to date has been inconclusive. It is 
unlikely that further testing will teach us anything new. Research 
terminated. Subject released, but to remain under observation and 
report for mandatory medical examination on a monthly basis. 
SCP-103 has been provided with a means of contacting Foundation 
personnel in the event of a change in condition. Research logs are 
to remain on file. 


Addendum 103-b: On / / , SCP-103 reported to a Foundation 
medical facility. SCP-103 was observed at this time to be vomiting 
copious amounts of blood, in excess of _ liters. This blood did not 
match SCP-103's blood type, nor did it [DATA EXPUNGED]. A 
stomach pump procedure was attempted, but failed due to the 
volume of blood being produced. Within hours, blood flow ceased. 
Shortly thereafter, Foundation medical personnel initiated an 
exploratory surgical procedure. 


Upon opening SCP-103's stomach cavity, Doctor Yun noted "several 
protrusions along the outer lining of the stomach, in an 
approximation of a human face". When Doctor Yun attempted a 
biopsy, the protrusions "...suddenly retreated, implying that they 
were the imprint of a foreign body inside the stomach." 


(Doctor Yun was instructed to continue the exploratory procedure, 
and performed admirably. His reluctance was noted on record, and 
will be submitted as evidence in the hearings of Supervisor 's 


court martial procedure.) 


When the stomach was opened, [DATA EXPUNGED]lilar to 
Cestoia[DATA EXPUNGEDfIfatalities including Doctor Yun, 
Research Assistant Sims, and Research Assistant Renfield. Medical 
Supervisor 's negligence is under review. 


SCP-103 has been reclassified Euclid and recontained with updated 
containment protocols.

SCP-104: The Lonely Ball 


Item #: SCP-104 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-104 is currently contained 
in a steel box with electronic keypad access. Access is to be 
restricted to class 3 and higher. Do not allow SCP-104 to come in 
contact with any living tissue. Any and all interaction with SCP-104 
is to be handled via robotic assistance, or with full haz-mat suits and 
gloves. Anyone found to be “imprinted” by SCP-104 must submit for 
“unimprinting”. Failure to do so within 24 hours of exposure will 
result in termination. 


Description: SCP-104 is a sphere, 35.5 cm (14 in) around and 
weighing 2.3 kg (5 lbs). The outside is glass and very smooth, 
coating the sphere in a layer 6 mm (0.2 in) thick. Under this layer is 
an extremely intricate design of very thin black and white lines. This 
inner “core” is a delicately carved ball of wood, giving slight texture 
to the line design. The design itself is unimaginably complex and 
seems to form something of a Rorschach test, as all viewers seem 
to have a different interpretation. Movement or a ticking sound from 
inside the sphere has been reported, but at this time is unconfirmed. 


Whenever a human touches SCP-104 in its “Unimprinted” state, it 
will “Imprint” on the subject. If the imprinted subject moves more 
than 9 m (30 ft) from SCP-104 for more than five minutes, SCP-104 
will appear within 2 m (7 ft) of the imprinted subject. This shift 
appears instantaneous, disappearing and reappearing in less than a 
nanosecond, regardless of distance or intervening objects. Every 
hour that the subject remains within 9 m (80 ft) of SCP-104, it will 
move one foot closer to the subject until it is touching the subject. 
When SCP-104 is touching its imprinted subject, it will not attempt to 
move closer. SCP-104 will not exhibit this behavior to non-imprinted 
subjects and will only imprint on one subject at a time. Thick cloth or 


metal appears to block the imprinting in most cases. Testing of 
SCP-104 with multiple instances of SCP-1680 suggests this 
imprinting is not genetically based, as SCP-104 does not change 
behaviors when faced with multiple genetically identical subjects. 


SCP-104 also appears to be indestructible, in that it always appears 
whole and undamaged after reappearing. Even after being crushed 

and incinerated, SCP-104 will reappear whole and undamaged if its 
imprinted subject is outside of its minimum range for more than five 

minutes. SCP-104 causes paranoia and anger in most subjects, but 
this is not an effect of the sohere as some are wholly unaffected by 

the constant presence of SCP-104, if slightly annoyed at times. 


SCP-104 can only be “unimprinted” if the subject is killed or enters a 
near-death like state. SCP-104 will then enter its unimprinted state 
until touched. Thick gloves appear to block the imprinting process, 
as long as they are more than 13 mm (0.5 in) thick. SCP-104 was 
recovered in a flea market from a man carrying it in a bowling bag. 
The man never identified himself and sold it to Agent fora 
quarter, thanking him profusely before running off. 


Notes 104-1108-r: 


It has been theorized that SCP-104 is some form of extra- 
dimensional probe or recording device. This appears to be unlikely, 
as it appears to be made of terrestrial materials and has no means 
by which to record or observe anything. However, with few other 
explanations for its odd behavior, the theory is being investigated. —

SCP-105: "Iris" 


Item #: SCP-105 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-105 is implanted with a 
tracking device and is currently housed at Site-17. SCP-105 is 
currently allowed Class 3 (restricted) socialization privileges with 
approved site personnel, granted based on continued good behavior 
and cooperation with Foundation personnel. 


SCP-105's personal camera (designated SCP-105-B) is contained in 
a locked safe-deposit box at Site-19's High Value Item Storage 
Facility. Standard positive-action defenses (explosive, chemical, 
biological, and memetic) are to be in place at all times while 
SCP-105-B is within containment. 


SCP-105 and SCP-105-B or any other camera are only to be 
allowed to come into contact with approval of the current managing 
researcher. 


Description: SCP-105 (formerly known as Iris Thompson) is a 
female human of European descent. Records indicate that SCP-105 
was bornin ,makingher years old at the time of acquisition. 
She has blonde hair and blue eyes, and at the time of this article, is 
1.54 meters in height and 50kg in weight. She does not appear to 
have any out-of-the-ordinary physical characteristics and appears to 
be, for all intents and purposes, a normal human being in good 
health. 


SCP-105-B is a Polaroid One Step 600 camera, manufactured in 
1982. SCP-105-B does not appear to have any out-of-the-ordinary 
physical characteristics and appears to be, for all intents and 
purposes, a normal Polaroid camera, operating normally for all 
persons aside from SCP-105. 


When SCP-105 holds a photograph taken by SCP-105-B, the 
photograph changes from a still image to that of a real-time image of 
the location in question. SCP-105 is also able to reach through the 
photograph and manipulate objects within reach of the original point 
at which the photograph was taken. Persons witnessing this 
manipulation report seeing a disembodied female hand (determined 
to be that of SCP-105) reaching out from an invisible portal and 
carrying out the actions indicated. SCP-105-B and the photographs 
taken by said camera have no unusual properties when used by any 
other person. 


SCP-105 has demonstrated limited ability to manipulate objects 
through other photographs, but can only achieve fine control using 
photographs taken through SCP-105-B. So far, SCP-105 has only 
been able to significantly advance her ability by using photographs 
taken by SCP-105-B. 


Appendix 1: Circumstances of Acquisition: SCP-105 was 
brought to the Foundation's attention shortly after the murder of her 
boyfriend. SCP-105 claimed to have been on the phone with the 
victim at the time of his murder, prompting her to hurry to his side; 
however, telephone records did not correspond to her story, making 
her suspect in the murder. SCP-105 informed her lawyer that she 
had, in fact, witnessed the murder through a photograph she had 
taken with her boyfriend several days prior. The attorney in question 
disregarded the story and recommended that the subject plead 
guilty. Subject refused to do so and subsequently told her story in 
court, offering to demonstrate her ability. This lead to Foundation 
contact. 


Subject was immediately contained by the Foundation. Foundation 
Personnel retrieved SCP-105-B from SCP-105's home (replacing it 
with an identical model), and returned it to her. SCP-105's parents 
were informed that she was killed during the botched escape of 
another patient while both were in custody of the 

psychiatric care facility. 


Appendix 2: Excerpt from Interview Log 105-08-4426, dated / / 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. _ : Please give a brief personal introduction, 
including date and place of birth, and your name. 


SCP-105: Okay... My name is Iris Thompson, | was born 
in Phoenix, Arizona, on May 12th, 


Dr. —: Good. First question, when did you become 
aware of your abilities? 


SCP-105: |'m not sure, but | think | was either ten or 
eleven. | remember because | was looking at a picture of 
the ocean, and | noticed that the waves began moving. 


Dr. — : How did your parents respond when you told 
them? 


SCP-105: They just said that | had an overactive 
imagination. 


Dr. — :When did you discover that you were able to 
manipulate objects through a photograph? 


SCP-105: It first happened when | was... eleven, twelve, 
maybe? My family took a trip to the Grand Canyon. | 
looked through the photo album after we got home, and 
brushed my hand up against one by accident. When | 
did, | pushed a rock over the edge, falling into the 
canyon; | could actually hear it clatter on the way down. 


Dr. -Go on. 


SCP-105: | became fascinated with photography after 
that. Most of the time, it didn't work with photographs | 
took, but my parents got me a Polaroid One Step 600 
camera — I'd been begging for them to get it since 
Christmas. <SCP-105 starts smiling.> After | got the 
camera, the photos got... easier to interact with. 


Dr. : This is the camera we refer to as 105-B? Your 
personal camera. 


SCP-105: Yes sir. 


Dr. |: How many photos can you focus on at one time? 


SCP-105: I've gotten up to ten at once with my personal 
camera, but I'm sure | could do more eventually. 


Dr. — :Whatis your impression of your time with the 
Foundation so far? 


<SCP-105 remains silent.> 


Dr. : Please, do answer. We don't take offense at 
these things. 


SCP-105: It's sort of like... New prison, new warden. But 
| know it's better than what could've happened to me. 


Dr. _ : You've been very cooperative during your time 
here. 


SCP-105: |'m a pretty well-behaved sort of person. | also 
like doing the experiments. Some of those things with 
photographs | would never have thought of. 


Dr. — :Do you know why | am asking you these 
questions, Iris? 


SCP-105: No, sir. 


Dr. _ : We've been setting up a special program. If it 
goes through, you'll be occasionally allowed to leave the 
site and move about in the outside world. All we ask of 
you in return are a few favors. Are you interested?

Addendum 3: History of Service with Mobile Task Force 
Omega-7: 


SCP-105 was the second humanoid SCP recruited to Mobile Task 
Force Omega-7 under the Pandora's Box initiative. Unlike "Team 
Able" (associated with SCP-076-2), which was assigned to strike 
and capture operations, "Team Iris" had the primary mission of 


reconnaissance and intelligence gathering. "Team Iris" carried out 
over twenty missions in cooperation with the Bowe Commission. 
These missions were carried out swiftly and without incident. 


The first disciplinary incident involving SCP-105 involved the 
escalation of Team Iris missions from reconnaissance to wetwork. 
SCP-105 violently opposed the use of her abilities to carry out 
assassinations, even after members of the Bowe Commission 
repeatedly attempted to secure her cooperation (see Interview Log 
105-21-6543). 


During these events, SCP-105 became emotionally distressed and 
attempted to deceive Foundation personnel into believing that her 
anomalous traits had disappeared. Dr. D submitted a report 
recommending that SCP-105 be re-classified as Neutralized, 
undergo amnestic treatment, and be released to the public with 
regular monitoring. This recommendation was denied. 


Following this, Dr. D aided SCP-105 in a containment breach 
aiming to escape Foundation custody. This breach was 
unsuccessful and SCP-105 was re-contained (see Incident X45- 
Site-17). 


Investigation afterwards determined that Dr. D had intentionally 
encouraged SCP-105 to claim loss of anomalous abilities. SCP-105 
re-demonstrated her anomalous abilities in exchange for restoration 
of limited privileges. 


Following the end of the Pandora's Box Initiative, all Mobile Task 
Force Omega-7 teams were disbanded, and SCP-105 was returned 
to Site-17. Because of the security risk she represents and lack of 
current utility, SCP-105 is presently not allowed access to SCP-105- 
B; 


All further information regarding Mobile Task Force Omega-7 is 
sealed by order of the Records And Information Security 
Administration.

Addendum 4: SPECIAL NOTICE RE: Current Containment 


Status 


Following Incident R1300-Site-17, many formal and informal reports 
have been made regarding SCP-105 and a supposed connection to 
Mobile Task Force Alpha-9. 


These reports constitute a serious breach of security. All information 
regarding Mobile Task Force Alpha-9 is restricted. All information 
regarding current research on anomalous characteristics of 
SCP-105 is restricted. All reports or rumors regarding any current or 
recent use of SCP-105 as a Foundation asset are to be considered 
categorically false, and should be reported to the Records And 
Information Security Administration.

SCP-106: The Old Man 


Item #: SCP-106 

Object Class: Keter 

Special Containment Procedures: 
REVISION 11-6 


No physical interaction with SCP-106 is allowed at any 
time. All physical interaction must be approved by no 
less than a two-thirds vote from O5-Command, and may 
only extend to testing situations. All staff (Research, 
Security, Class D, etc.) are to remain at least twenty 
meters away from the containment cell at all times, 
except for mandated maintenance and re-evaluation 
checks. 


Containment cell must be held suspended in a 
secondary cell, the walls of which must be at least thirty 
meters distant from the outer walls of the first or 
“primary” cell. The secondary cell is to remain under total 
observation at all times, and be both illuminated and 
clear of any and all debris. Any items, movement, or non- 
normal activity noted within the secondary cell will result 
in a full site lock-down. Lock-down will be maintained 
until a “situation normal” dispatch is issued by Site 
Command. 


Any corrosion observed on the primary cell, secondary 
cell, staff members, or other site locations within two 
hundred meters of SCP-106 are to be reported to Site 
Security immediately. Any objects or personnel lost to 
SCP-106 are to be deemed missing/KIA. No recovery 
attempts are to be made under any circumstances. 


Note: SCP-106 does not have a “docile” state. Any 
reduction in activity or increased compliance from 
SCP-106 is to be deemed a luring tactic immediately 
preceding an aggressive action, and treated as such. 


NOTE: SCP DISCONTINUED DUE TO ESCAPE 
PERCENTAGE 


REVISION 11-7 


No physical interaction with SCP-106 is allowed at any 
time. All physical interaction must be approved by no 
less than a two-thirds vote from O5-Command, and may 
only extend to testing situations. All staff (Research, 
Security, Class D, etc.) are to remain at least thirty 
meters away from the containment cell at all times, 
except under direct order from Site Command. 


SCP-106 is to be kept within a sealed container, 
comprised of sixteen layers of lead-lined steel, each 
separated by no less than 18cm of open space aside 
from minimal support struts. Said container is to be kept 
suspended by a “continuous current” system within a 
fluid medium. This medium is to be replaced in 48 hour 
cycles, and constantly monitored for any “corrosion” 
intrusion. 


Any corrosion observed on any containment cell 
surfaces, staff members, or other site locations within 
two hundred meters of SCP-106 are to be reported to 
Site Security immediately. Any objects or personnel lost 
to SCP-106 are to be deemed missing/KIA. No recovery 
attempts are to be made under any circumstances. 


SCP-106 does not have a “docile” state. Any reduction in 
activity or increased compliance from SCP-106 is to be 
deemed a luring tactic immediately preceding an 
aggressive action, and treated as such. 


Note: Observation of SCP-106 has shown a slight 
“resistance” when passing through lead or other similar 


metals. The thickness of the material appears to make 
no difference. In addition, multiple layers of thin material 
appear to “slow” SCP-106, forcing it to enter and re- 
emerge multiple times. Fluids also appear to temporarily 
“confuse” SCP- 106. 


NOTE: SCP DISCONTINUED DUE TO MULTIPLE 
SURFACE BREACHES. AGITATION SYSTEM 
CONTINUED TO DISPERSE CORROSION DURING 
BREACH EVENT, RESULTING IN MULTIPLE 
BREACHES AND FULL CONTAINMENT FAILURE 


REVISION 11-8 


No physical interaction with SCP-106 is allowed at any time. All 
physical interaction must be approved by no less than a two-thirds 
vote from O5-Command. Any such interaction must be undertaken 
in AR-II maximum security sites, after a general non-essential staff 
evacuation. All staff (Research, Security, Class D, etc.) are to 
remain at least sixty meters away from the containment cell at all 
times, except in the event of breach events. 


SCP-106 is to be contained in a sealed container, comprised of 
lead-lined steel. The container will be sealed within forty layers of 
identical material, each layer separated by no less than 36cm of 
empty space. Support struts between layers are to be randomly 
spaced. Container is to remain suspended no less than 60cm from 
any surface by ELO-IID electromagnetic supports. 


Secondary containment area is to be comprised of sixteen spherical 
“cells”, each filled with various fluids and a random assembly of 
surfaces and supports. Secondary containment is to be fitted with 
light systems, capable of flooding the entire assembly with no less 
than 80,000 lumens of light instantly with no direct human 
involvement. Both containment areas are to remain under 24 hour 
surveillance. 


Any corrosion observed on any containment cell surfaces, staff 
members, or other site locations within two hundred meters of 
SCP-106 are to be reported to Site Security immediately. Any 
objects or personnel lost to SCP-106 are to be deemed missing/KIA. 


No recovery attempts are to be made under any circumstances. 


Note: Continued research and observation have shown that, when 
faced with highly complex/random assemblies of structures, 
SCP-106 can be “confused”, showing a marked delay on entry and 
exit from said structure. SCP-106 has also shown an aversion to 
direct, sudden light. This is not manifested in any form of physical 
damage, but a rapid exit in to the “pocket dimension” generated on 
solid surfaces. 


These observations, along with those of lead-aversion and liquid 
confusion, have reduced the general escape incidents by 43%. The 
“primary” cells have also been effective in recovery incidents 
requiring Recall Protocol - ~-. Observation is ongoing. 


Description: SCP-106 appears to be an elderly humanoid, with a 
general appearance of advanced decomposition. This appearance 
may vary, but the “rotting” quality is observed in all forms. SCP-106 
is not exceptionally agile, and will remain motionless for days ata 
time, waiting for prey. SCP-106 is also capable of scaling any 
vertical surface and can remain suspended upside down indefinitely. 
When attacking, SCP-106 will attempt to incapacitate prey by 
damaging major organs, muscle groups, or tendons, then pull 
disabled prey into its pocket dimension. SCP-106 appears to prefer 
human prey items in the 10-25 years of age bracket. 


SCP-106 causes a “corrosion” effect in all solid matter it touches, 
engaging a physical breakdown in materials several seconds after 
contact. This is observed as rusting, rotting, and cracking of 
materials, and the creation of a black, mucus-like substance similar 
to the material coating SCP-106. This effect is particularly 
detrimental to living tissues, and is assumed to be a “pre-digestion” 
action. Corrosion continues for six hours after contact, after which 
the effect appears to “burn out”. 


SCP-106 is capable of passing through solid matter, leaving behind 
a large patch of its corrosive mucus. SCP-106 is able to “vanish” 
inside solid matter, entering what is assumed to be a form of “pocket 
dimension”. SCP-106 is then able to exit this dimension from any 
point connected to the initial entry point (examples: “entering” the 
inner wall of a room, and “exiting” the outer wall. Entering a wall, and 


exiting from the ceiling). It is unknown if this is the point of origin for 
SCP-106, or a simple “lair” created by SCP-106. 


Limited observation of this “pocket dimension” has shown it to be 
comprised mostly of halls and rooms, with [DATA EXPUNGED] 
entry. This activity can continue for days, with some subjected 
individuals being released for the express purpose of hunting, 
recapture, [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Addendum: 
SCP Review Notes: 


Due to the exceedingly difficult-to-contain nature of SCP-106, SCP 
is to be reviewed every three months or during a post-breach 
incident. Physical restraints are impossible, and direct physical 
damage appears to have no effect on SCP-106. Current SCP, as of 

/ /_ , revolves around basic observation and immediate response. 
Previous, more proactive special containment procedures have 
been recalled due to the events of breaches , , , , and 


Notes on behavior: 


SCP-106 appears to go through long periods of “dormancy”, in 
which it will remain completely motionless for up to three months. 
The cause for this is unknown; however, it has been shown that this 
appears to be used as a “lulling” tactic. SCP-106 will emerge from 
this state in a very agitated state, and will attack and abduct staff 
and cause gross damage to its containment cell and the site at 
large. Recall Protocol [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


SCP-106 appears to hunt and attack based on desire, not hunger. 
SCP-106 will attack and collect multiple prey items during a hunting 
behavior event, keeping many “alive” in the pocket dimension for 
extended periods of time. SCP-106 has no determinable “limit”, and 
appears to collect a random number of prey items during an event. 


The inner dimension accessed by SCP-106 appears to be only 
accessible by SCP-106. Recording and transmission devices have 
been shown to still operate inside this dimension, though recordings 


and transmissions are very degraded. It appears that SCP-106 will 
“olay” with captured prey, and appears to have full control of time, 
space, and perception inside this dimension. SCP-106 appears 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Recall Protocol - -: 


In the event of a breach event by SCP-106, a human within the 
10-25 years of age bracket will be prepped for recall, with the 
compromised containment cell being replaced and restored for use. 
When the cell is ready, the lure subject will be injured, preferably via 
the breakage of a long bone, such as the femur, or the severing of a 
major tendon, such as the Achilles Tendon. Lure subject will then be 
placed in the prepped cell, and the sound emitted by said subject 
will be transmitted over the site public address system. 


SCP-106 will typically begin to gravitate toward the lure subject 
within ten to fifteen minutes after hearing the subject. Should 
SCP-106 not respond to the initial broadcast, additional physical 
trauma is to be administered to the lure subject at twenty-minute 
intervals until SCP-106 responds. Multiple lure subjects may be 
used in the case of major breach events. 


SCP-106 will typically enter a dormant state after finishing with a 
lure subject. In addition, subjects may [DATA EXPUNGED].

SCP-107: The Turtle Shell 


Item #: SCP-107 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-107 poses no immediate 
threat, so long as it does not come into contact with any liquid. As 
such, it is stored at Site-19 in a five (5) metre square containment 
cell, on a one (1) metre high pedestal, inside a clear perspex 
container. Experimentation with SCP-107 is to be carried out at 
Research Area-06, a 484 km2 (22 x 22 km) area of desolate land in 

dedicated to this purpose. Anyone who attempts to activate 
SCP-107 outside of an approved experiment must be eliminated 
with any force necessary. 


Access to and removal of the object requires the authorization of two 
(2) Level 4 personnel, and the approval by said personnel of a full 
experimental procedure. Should SCP-107 become active while 
within Site-19, two Class-D personnel are to remove it from the site 
via one of the item transport trucks in Loading Bay-02. This 
procedure must be followed regardless of the substance that 
activated SCP-107, given the unpredictable nature of the item's 
effect on plant matter. SCP-107 should only be returned once 
precipitation has ceased completely and any abnormal plant growth 
has been neutralized or contained for further study. 


Description: SCP-107 resembles the top section of a hollow turtle 
shell. The shell is composed of a hardened biological material of 
unknown origin. Despite its appearance, whether this material is 
derived from the shell of a standard sea turtle (superfamily 
Chelonioidea) is, as yet, unknown. The item is completely inert until 
the inside of the turtle shell comes into contact with a liquid; when it 
does so, said liquid appears to be absorbed very quickly. Where the 
liquid drains to is unknown, given the lack of visible pores on the 
inside of the shell. Once active, the red edge of the shell glows 
dimly, and the substance placed into the shell begins to precipitate 


in the atmosphere and fall as 'rain' in the area at least 0.5 m, but 
less than 10 km, from the object. This phenomenon is mobile: 
moving SCP-107 will move the area of effect, along with the 
‘exclusion zone’. 


The duration and intensity appears proportional to the amount of 
liquid placed in the shell. 10 ml of water resulted in just under half an 
hour of light drizzle, whereas filling to around the three-quarter mark 
set off two days of torrential rain. Precipitation generated by 
SCP-107 has varying effects on plant matter, although these effects 
are only seen in plants grown within the effect zone — watering other 
plants with collected liquid causes no abnormal reaction (see 
experimental log, Addendum 107-2). 


Addendum 107-1: SCP-107 was discovered by an archaeologist, 
Prof. M , in what is now Ethiopia, buried alongside what 
appeared to be a tribal shaman. Carbon dating performed on the 
shaman's bones gave an age of around 18000 BCE. SCP-107 
proved resistant to all attempts to obtain a sample, and therefore no 
concrete origin date can be determined. The Foundation became 
involved after intercepting reports of strange weather events at the 
dig, accompanied by unusual plant growth. 


Addendum 107-2: Below is a log of all tests carried out with 
SCP-107. Agents with ideas for sensible future testing protocols 
should contact me. Feel free to test reasonably safe liquids with 
SCP-107, and log your findings here (please note that you will be 
responsible for anything that results from the test). We need all the 
data we can get on this oddity. More tests with liquid-based SCPs 
may have research value, but most are simply too dangerous to 
carry out, at least with current containment procedures. Tests 
involving SCP-107 and SCP-009, SCP-447-2, and SCP-874 have 
been proposed, but were rejected on the grounds that the results 
have the potential to be dangerous and/or highly unstable. — Dr. 
Quentin | 


Input: 10 ml standard tap water 
Result: Light rain fell over the test site for 27 minutes. Tests on the 
water showed that it had no unusual properties. For at least two 


weeks after the test, grass at the test site was seen to grow ata 
much increased rate, and the resulting plants were a richer green in 
colour than those unaffected by the rain. 

Further procedure: A sample of the rain was collected, and used to 
water various other plants outside of the test site. 

Result: No effect was observed. 


Input: 55 ml standard tap water 

Result: Torrential rainfall over test site for two days, and an effect 
on the grass similar to that of the first test. Fruit-bearing plants 
grown in the soil at the test site grew very quickly, and bore much 
larger fruit than control plants. Effect had diminished considerably 
after three months. 


Input: 4 cm block of wood 
Result: No effect observed. 


Input: 20 steel ball bearings of radius 2 mm 
Result: No effect observed. 


Input: 10 ml human urine 

Result: Urine rained on the test site for 27 minutes with moderate 
intensity. Grass at the test site began to die, any other plant species 
moved to the test site began to grow stunted passive 'pitcher' insect 
traps incapable of actually digesting insect matter. 

Subsequent Input: 20 ml human urine 

Result: Urine rained on the test site for 3 hours 42 minutes with 
slightly greater intensity. Non-grass plants grew larger, stronger 
pitcher traps capable of digesting small rodents. 


Input: 10 ml human blood, extracted from a Class-D test subject 
Result: A substance proven afterwards to be human blood with the 
same genetic makeup as the donating subject fell on the test site for 
27 minutes. Grass at the test site appeared to die on contact with 
the blood, and began rotting within minutes. Any non-grass plants 
planted in the resulting soil began to mutate and grow large (>20 cm 
across) carnivorous organs similar to those of the 'Venus Flytrap’ 
(Dionaea muscipula). When approached by Class-D personnel, the 
plants were seen to [DATA EXPUNGED]. These organisms began 
to grow back after two weeks. Further testing with bodily fluids 
considered unwise. 


Input: 10 ml water with 5 g steel ball bearings 

Result: Water was absorbed by SCP-107 and the standard reaction 
was observed in plant matter. Ball bearings remained in the shell, 
evidently having no impact on the test. 


Input: 10 ml liquid cyanoacrylate adhesive 

Result: All liquid was absorbed by SCP-107, and partially-cured 
cyanoacrylate fell on the test site for 18 minutes. It is likely that the 
reduced duration of effect was due to curing of the adhesive whilst 
‘inside’ SCP-107. Plant matter grew sticky coating later identified as 
a cyanoacrylate derivative. Coating was very effective at trapping 
insects and preventing them from damaging plants. 


Input: 10 ml fresh orange juice 

Result: Standard precipitation pattern (27 minutes of drizzle). Fruit 
bearing plants moved to the testing site began to grow an unknown 
citrus fruit, irrespective of plant species and despite the cold 
conditions. No ill effects observed from consumption of the fruit; 
samples have been taken for further testing. 


Input: 2 ml human saliva provided by a Class-D test subject 
Result: Substance later proven to be human saliva fell on the test 
site for 8 minutes. Non-grass plants moved to the test site grew 
small (2-5cm) spherical sacs along stems or thin branches. When 
the plant was approached by the test subject, the sacs violently 
expelled a saliva-like liquid toward the subject. Subject reported no 
illness or injury. Augmented plants began to die within 3 days. 


Input: 10 ml 99.999% isotopically pure heavy water (D2O) 

Result: Standard precipitation pattern (27 minutes of drizzle). Mass 
spectrometry of samples revealed a deuterium abundance of ~154 
ppm, which is standard for natural water. 


Input: 5 ml elemental mercury 
Result: Sample began to be absorbed, but was then re-exuded.

SCP-108: Extradimensional Nasal Cavity 


Item #: SCP-108 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-108 is contained entirely 
by Subject 108-1. Subject 108-1 should be contained in a standard 
containment cell measuring 3 m x 3 m furnished with whatever items 
are requested unless said items compromise security. Subject 108-1 
is permitted to leave the room, wander freely, and eat in the main 
canteen. Medical examination to be performed on Subject-108-1 
daily; filters to be changed as necessary. 


Description: SCP-108 is accessible through the nostrils of 
Subject-108-1. Subject is an African-American female, 51 years old 
(see Addendum 108-1), who was previously employed as a cashier 
at , a small town hardware store in , Kentucky. 
Since - - ,SCP-108 has been housed at Site-17. 


Endoscopic examination of SCP-108 reveals that the area 
accessible via the subject's nostrils is not the human nasal cavity, 
but rather a bunker system of Nazi German construction dedicated 
to the production and maintenance of WW2-era Messerschmitt Me 
262 fighters. Exploration via robotic endoscope reveals that the 
bunker system has internal dimensions of approximately 2 km x 

4 km, with the long axis parallel to the main entrance/exit portal. 
While the exploration is by no means complete, SCP-108 is believed 
to contain hundreds of airframes under construction on its assembly 
line as well as three completed aircraft. There is also a large 
quantity of human remains in the complex, particularly concentrated 
around the entry/exit portal, with the corpses of Nazi officials, 
military personnel, Hitler Youth, and civilians (possibly Ukrainian 
slave workers) in an advanced state of decay. Evidence of a firefight 
near the entry/exit portal supports the hypothesis that the German 
military personnel were swarmed by the civilians and were killed in 
the ensuing struggle. Some corpses show signs of cannibalism. 


Robotic endoscopic exploration continues, and high discharge LED 
lighting (assembled piecemeal using the "ship in a bottle" technique) 
has been deployed. Endoscopic examination of the interior of 
SCP-108 reveals a large "hangar door" area with a kind of double 
airlock with blast doors large enough to admit two fully assembled 
fighters. A production line exists which would allow damaged 
fighters and deliveries to enter on one side of the hangar door, and 
finished fighters to exit on the other side. Turning the endoscope 
head 180 degrees reveals the open doorway as an area of total 
blackness with two nostril-shaped penetrations in it. One nostril- 
shaped penetration is connected to whichever nostril is admitting the 
endoscope, and the other is connected to the interior of a human 
nasal cavity. DNA testing reveals the nasal cavity belongs to the 
subject. The black area is impenetrable and absorbs all wavelengths 
of light that the endoscope can carry. The black area is elastic and 
yielding when probed. 


Apparently the portal system is a unique three-way arrangement. If 
the outside world is designated A, the interior of the Me 262 factory 
is B and the subject's nasal cavity is C, then traffic is as follows: 


« Anything (including gasses and light) going from A end up in 
B. 

¢ Items going from B end up in C. 

¢ Items going from C end up in A. 


Presumably in 1944 it was intended that C and A were to be the 
interior and exterior of a double hangar at Tempelhof based on the 
architecture of the hangar doors. 


Addendum 108-1: Subject claims that she was training to perform 
the "Human Blockhead" magic trick in preparation for being a clown 
at a children's birthday party. After hammering a 4 cm long 
galvanized-iron nail into her nasal cavity, she lost her grip on the 
end and dropped it inside her nose. Immediately she noticed a "god 
awful musty stench" and experienced nausea and disorientation. 
Blowing her nose had no discernible effect, and left no residue on 
tissues. She was able to breathe normally through her nose. After 
about three days subject "got used to the ‘hell's asshole smell" and 
performed at the children's party to the delight of her nephew. 


Approximately a week later, after ignoring numerous complaints 
about the smell of her breath, subject was diagnosed with 
pneumonia and placed on a course of Roxithromycin. Pneumonia 
responded to antibiotics, but recurred a week later. Her general 
practitioner also noted that nasal examination with an otoscope 
showed simply blackness, rather than the inside of the nose. After 
admission to hospital with chronic pneumonia, examination with a 

1 m fiber-optic endoscope allowed the endoscope to be threaded in 
almost the full meter. The attending ENT noted that he appeared to 
be seeing a "Nazi Eagle badge" through the endoscope. Specialist 
examination notes were kept in a digital patient management system 
and intercepted by the Foundation in a routine - - = = 
sweep. 


The subject was recovered without incident by Task Force Epsilon-9 
disguised as High Risk Warrant Team officers in a pre-dawn raid in 
June of 19 . By the end of the cleanup operation the GP, ENT, 11 
hospital personnel and two civilians were terminated. The subject 
was examined by Foundation staff and provided her with air-filtration 
units which could be passed through her nostrils piecemeal and 
assembled like a "ship in a bottle". The filtration filling must be 
removed on a regular basis when it gets expended (roughly once a 
week) as the subject is essentially inhaling the atmosphere of a 
formerly-sealed Nazi mass war grave. 


Although initially hostile toward the Foundation, the subject has 
responded well to enhanced psychological conditioning protocols 
and now accepts her situation. A plan has been proposed in line 
with the "Backing up" of all critical Foundation data at Site-62 in 
SCP-108: Data could be written on to MicroSD cards or similar 
compact non-volatile media and inserted into the subject's nostrils, 
provided some way to house the subject in a safe location is 
assured in the event of an XK-class scenario. Research continues to 
find a way to move the entrance of the dimensional portal from the 
subject's nostrils to another location and to discover the physical 
location of the bunker to determine if alternative access is possible. 


The original galvanized-iron nail has yet to be found.

SCP-109: Infinite Canteen 


SCP-109 


Item #: SCP-109 
Object Class: Euclid (See Addendum 109-1) 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-109 is currently located in 
Non-Critical Storage Unit 7 and requires no active monitoring. It 
should not be removed from the unit except to be transported to a 
research facility, and then only by personnel with Level 3 security 
clearance or higher. When replacing SCP-109, personnel should 
ensure that it is firmly closed and that it is placed on the molded 
pedestal in the upright position. 


Description: SCP-109 is a standard-issue United States Army 
canteen (circa 1899) made of atin alloy and fitted with a heavy 
cotton cover and a black leather strap. When opened, the item is 
seen to be nearly full of water. A seemingly unlimited amount of 
water can be removed from the container without changing the 
water level or the item's mass, which remains a constant 3.16 kg. 
Probes of the interior of the container reported an estimated volume 
of 2.8 L and a shape consistent with the outside. 


The water in SCP-109 is of a slight blue-gray tint, with 
concentrations of 20 ppm of tin and 170 ppm of other electrolytes. 
The water remains at a constant temperature of 19°C but can be 
heated or cooled when moved to another container. 


Addendum 109-1: Upon the item's delivery to Site 19, it was given 
the object class of Safe. As tests were conducted on the item, 
uncertainty surrounding test results prompted Gen. to 
upgrade the object class to Euclid. 


Addendum 109-2: Recently, a request was filed and granted by Dr. 
for permission to water an okra plant growing in his office with 
SCP-109. Staff should be notified that Dr. uses SCP-109 for 


this purpose for a small time every Friday. 


Addendum 109-3: "/t has come to my attention that new class D 
personnel are often dared to empty the bottle. Guards are reminded 
that they are to discourage such activity, and inform them that 
SCP-109 is bottomless. Chanting 'Chug! repeatedly is considered 
unprofessional." — Dr. Klein 


Additional Information: Due to the range of tests conducted on 
SCP-109, this section has been provided to present test results in 
chronological order. Dates have been withheld for confidentiality. 


TEST 1: Subjects imbibed water from SCP-109, reported 
that it was very refreshing and, despite the metal 
content, very tasty. Urine samples from subjects were 
normal. 


TEST 2: Follow-up test to TEST 1 had subjects 
dehydrate themselves for 1 full day before imbibing 
water from SCP-109. Test remains unfinished as 
subjects were unable to provide urine samples. 


TEST 3: Subject bathed in water from SCP-109. Subject 
reported increased energy and a much improved 
complexion following the bath. 


TEST 4: Streptococcus bacteria cultured in water from 
SCP-109 thrived and multiplied quickly. Water from 
SCP-109 administered to subject suffering from 
streptococcal infection killed nearly all bacteria and 
produced a full recovery within 24 hours. 


TEST 5: Blood substitute created using water from 
SCP-109, given in transfusion to pedestrian hit by a 
drunk driver. Subject showed no malign symptoms from 
the transfusion and made a full recovery. Subject's 
physical therapy concluded six weeks early. 


TEST 6: Water from SCP-109 administered to various 
plant organisms, all of which remained very healthy and 
showed no malign symptoms. 


One proposition for a test which has been discussed for 
some time has been one involving a combination of 
SCP-109 and SCP-402. Due to the risk of losing one or 
both items or creating a hazardous situation, this test has 
never been conducted.

SCP-110: Subterranean City 


Item #: SCP-110 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The entrance to SCP-110 is to 
remain closed off at all times unless otherwise permitted by O5- . 
The land covering SCP-110 (roughly 6 square kilometers) is to be 
developed into a suburban area that will not attract the attention of 
the general public. Any movement that SCP-110 might make is to be 
explained as "minute seismic activity". Further complaints are to be 
ignored. 


Description: SCP-110 is an entire city that was found buried 0.5 
kilometers underneath a large farm in [DATA EXPUNGED], New 
York. Survey Teams 2 and 3 concluded that the amount of surface 
area that the city is buried under covers approximately six (6) square 
kilometers. Numerous items of high interest have been discovered 
within SCP-110, and will henceforth be labeled as SCP-110-xx. 


Known History of SCP-110 


11/08/19 : A large earthquake occurs in rural New York, far from 
any city centers. The only casualties were a man and his dog, so no 
significant media attention was given to the event. 


15/05/19 : Minor earthquakes continue to occur in SCP-110's 
general area. The US Federal Government dispatches a team of 
geologists to the site to determine the cause. Results come back 
inconclusive. 


16/05/19 : SCP-Excavation Team 03 is ordered to investigate the 
site. Upon arrival, the team is greeted by SCP-110-01, who is then 
detained and moved to [DATA EXPUNGED}] for further questioning. 


24/05/19 :\Information gained from SCP-110-01 and SCP- reveal 


that there has been a large temporal disturbance in the area of 
SCP-110 that has been causing earthquakes due to displacement of 
soil and rock. Another SCP-Excavation Team is sent to the site. 


09/02/20 : After many months of work, SCP-Excavation Teams 04 
and 05 are only able to reveal the strong, impenetrable, concrete- 
like shell of SCP-110. Investigation is halted until further information 
becomes available. 


25/07/20 : Due to the recent decoding and decryption of the files 
contained on SCP-_ , schematics of SCP-110 have become 
available. Excavation teams 04 and 05 are sent back on-site to 
locate the primary entrance of SCP-110. 


04/08/20 : The entrance to SCP-110 has been discovered, and the 
excavation teams are immediately met with what can only be 
described as a "foul odor". SCP-110 had been an active Class-4 
city, but due to a temporal accident, its core services were heavily 
damaged and the entire city was displaced. Work begins to cover up 
the existence of SCP-110, its excavation, and the thousands of dead 
civilians inside. 


Layout of SCP-110: 


The general layout of SCP-110 is essentially a series of concentric 
rings connected by tram, train, and other transportation lines. 
Surveyors have determined that SCP-110 has numerous sections 
and levels to it, all with specific functions, which shall be described 
in greater detail here: 


Core Services: The numerous maps found posted in what were high 
traffic areas of SCP-110 labeled a central 'column' of assorted 
utilities as ‘Core Services’. Upon exploration, which was limited due 
to heavy security restrictions, SCP-Exploration Team 01 discovered 
a myriad of technologies that kept the underground city self- 
sufficient. Among these technologies were a series of matter 
reconstitution chambers, a combination reactor that provided energy 
from both nuclear fusion and geothermal sources, an elaborate 
water recycling system, and a large waste reconstitution area. The 
core is surrounded by numerous elevators and emergency 
stairwells. Numerous areas of the Core have been assigned to 


certain personnel for research. 


Atrium Colossi: This large, open, domed area surrounds the Core, 
and apparently once held vegetation. The dome itself was a massive 
display (its composition undetermined), which was used solely to 
depict a sky as an indication of time of day. Numerous tram-lines 
span at least 3 stories of the atrium, all leading to and from the Core. 
Personnel have described them as looking like "spokes in a wheel". 
Upon discovery, the death toll per area was highest in this area, 
suggesting that it was a high-traffic part of the city. 


Commercial Ring: A ring of what used to be small, independently 
owned shops and chains surrounds the Atrium Colossi. It is 
unknown whether or not commercial products were manufactured 
within the city, however due to the immense size of the Core itself, 
and the city's apparent self-reliance, it is highly likely that the Core 
possesses a manufacturing area. 


Habitation Ring A: The styles of living spaces found in this area 
suggest that its inhabitants were the wealthiest of the city. 
Numerous documents found throughout the city seem to confirm this 
assumption as well. 


Habitation Ring B: This entire ring was inhabited by the middle-class 
citizens of SCP-110. The area is still being searched for items of 
interest. To date, SCPs have been recovered from here. 


Habitation Ring C: This ring was inhabited by the lower-class 
citizens of SCP-110. It was found in extremely poor condition and is 
currently being restored by SCP-Maintenance Teams 01-12. It is 
speculated that due to its location furthest from the core, it suffered 
the most damage from the temporal disturbance. Damage to 
SCP-110 increases proportionally to distance from the Core. 


Atria Veges: As so named by numerous maps, these atria were only 
slightly smaller in area than Atrium Colossi, and provided an 
estimated 80% of all foodstuffs to the population of SCP-110. These 
atria were once open-air spaces, and thus suffered a great deal of 
damage upon arrival at site, as it is estimated that SCP-110 was 
displaced at least 300 meters below its original position. Recovery of 
these atria is revealing advanced plant-growing technology that has 


useful applications. 


Atrium Animus: Atrium Animus was responsible for the remaining 
20% of foodstuffs. This atrium has at least 20 stories that were once 
modeled after the natural environments of the animals that were 
raised there. Each level had a tightly controlled climate and was 
subdivided so that different species of animals had no contact with 
one another. Some of the genetic labs attached to Atrium Animus 
were found intact and are currently being explored by personnel. 


Atria Recreus: These atria were used for the sole purpose of 
recreation. They are found between the different habitation rings and 
typically consist of parks, artificial bodies of water, shopping malls, 
and other types of civilian recreation. These atria have been 
suggested for use with SCPs that require an outdoor-like 
environment, or a temperature and humidity controlled environment. 
Conversion plans have been drawn up. 


SCP-Research Ring: This city apparently had its outermost ring 
devoted to research of Safe and Euclid class SCPs, although no 
documentation within the city is able to confirm this ring's existence. 
This suggests that SCP-110 was not originally designed by the 
private sector, and rather was used as cover for SCPs currently 
unknown. This ring is highly dangerous, as it has suffered the most 
damage out of all sectors of SCP-110, thus potentially freeing some 
of the more dangerous SCPs. Only two members of SCP- 
Exploration Team 03 have survived exploring the ring. Their 
accounts are contained within Document #110-F. 


Architectural Styles of SCP-110 


SCP-110 has been confirmed to be of human origin, and all 
materials used in its construction are terrestrial. The architectural 
styles of SCP-110 seem to vary depending on location. The main 
styles are listed below: 


Core Services: Utilitarian 
Atrium Colossi: Greco-Roman revival (applies to all atria) 


Commercial Ring: Postmodern 


Habitation Ring A: Art-Deco 

Habitation Ring B: Expressionist 

Habitation Ring C: Utilitarian 

SCP-Research Ring: Too damaged to determine 


The different architectural styles of SCP-110 create a problem when 
attempting to ascertain the general era in which it was built. The 
earliest documents found claim that the city was built in [DATA 
EXPUNGED] by the [DATA EXPUNGED] group. 


Document #001-A: The Last Note 
To those who find this document: 


My name is Stephen Kolsnik. Rather, my name was Stephen 
Kolsnik. | will be dead by the time you read this. 


| was the Chief Engineer of this city, as well as the director of the 
[DATA EXPUNGED] program, contained within the outer 
containment and habitation rings. Due to an accident with an entity 
known as [DATA EXPUNGED], the entire city of [REDACTED] has 
been dislocated from its original area of [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Nobody here knows where we are. 


From what | have been able to observe, the outer rings have 
sustained heavy damage, and their contents are threatening the 
inhabitants of the inner rings. Though we are surely doomed 
anyway, as the Core has sustained heavy damage. 


Three of the main life-sustaining services contained within the Core 
are damaged beyond reasonable repair. Any attempts to repair them 
would take more time than we have left to live. 


Life support systems will go down soon; | would estimate that they 
have between 4 to 10 hours of function left. 


To whoever finds this: 


Contain [DATA EXPUNGED] as best you can. Do not follow the 
same mistakes as our containment procedures had. If you do, you 
shall regret it.

SCP-111: Dragon-Snails™ 


Item #: SCP-111 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All specimens of SCP-111 in 
captivity are housed at Site-19, Wing, ina 5m x 5m x 5m 
plexiglass enclosure containing a temperate forest habitat 
transplanted from its natural surroundings. Habitat temperature will 
be maintained at 30° C. Feeding is to take place weekly by 
personnel placing three (3) kg of iceberg lettuce (Lactuca sativa) into 
the containment chamber. Water is to be supplied by an automatic 
misting system which regulates humidity levels at 50%, both for 
water required by SCP-111 and to prevent fires. In event of 
SCP-111 specimens breeding, personnel are to collect all eggs and 
transport them to the Biological Studies Wing for freezing. 


Description: SCP-111 is an apparently artificial species of 
invertebrate vaguely resembling snails. Adult specimens of SCP-111 
are approximately twenty (20) centimeters in length, twelve (12) 
centimeters in width, and fifteen (15) centimeters in height, although 
exact size differs slightly between specimens. SCP-111 specimens 
differ from ordinary snails in that they have a warm-blooded 
metabolism, complex eyes, small "horns" consisting of cartilage- 
ridged tentacles, apparently increased intelligence (personnel are 
requested to read Test Log for examples), and a complex 
vertebrate-type jaw structure; as well, soecimens lay eggs 
possessing hardened shells. 


Most abnormally, SCP-111 specimens possess small hollow sacs 
below their lower jaws containing methane from digestive by- 
products. A series of [DATA EXPUNGED] along the inside of the 
trachea serves as a "lighter" igniting stored methane as the 
specimen exhales, blowing a small jet of flame from its mouth. Said 
"fire-breathing" generally occurs in event of stress or anger, 
although is not apparently used deliberately for destruction but 


rather as a warning. This is presumably due to the limited size of 
methane sacs, which limits SCP-111 specimens in the amount of 
fire they can exhale at a time, and requiring both time and starch- 
rich food to refuel. 


SCP-111's behavior is inconsistent with that of ordinary snail 
species, including whistling and hooting vocalizations easily audible 
to humans, high intellect seen in such tests as [DATA EXPUNGED], 
and parents caring for their young. Hatchlings have been observed 
imprinting on their parents, other members of their own species, or 
researchers. This is presumed to be a deliberate trait based on 
Document 111-a, as it means that hatchlings imprint upon owners. 


History: On // apackage containing twelve (12) SCP-111 eggs 
and Document 111-a was mailed to [DATA EXPUNGED], a 
Foundation front organization. Mobile Task Force Alpha-4 have 
proven unable to locate the sender of said package.

SCP-112: The Variable Coaster 


Item #: SCP-112 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-112 is contained within 
the abandoned " "amusement park, designated Site- 
Site- is to be staffed with a standard complement of twelve (12) 
armed guards dressed in designated Amusatastic Land garb, to 
prevent civilian interference. SCP-112's power supply is housed 
within a standard Foundation prefab building with two high-security 
door locks and a standard staff of six (6) security staff and one (1) 
operator. Since all other rides in Site- are intentionally disabled, 
civilian intervention is low. 


As the anomalous properties of SCP-112 occur regardless of its 
condition, only mandatory maintenance work is to be done on 
SCP-112. This also ensures that local civilians treat SCP-112 and its 
surroundings as abandoned and ignored. 


All tests involving SCP-112 must be conducted with a portable toilet 
nearby, as well as a small table with basic food and drink items. 


Description: SCP-112 is a steel sit-down rollercoaster, formerly 
known as the "Blue Steelsurfer". Builtin 19 , SCP-112 was 
marketed as the crown jewel of the " "amusement park. 
Initial testing of the ride resulted in extremely negative experiences 
from testing staff. When these reports became public knowledge, 
the financial repercussions of the "failure" of the Steelsurfer resulted 
in the parent company of the amusement park going bankrupt. The 
property was abandoned and undisturbed until 19 , when a local 
gang broke into the park and reactivated the improperly-disabled 
rides, SCP-112 included. When police attempted to arrest the 
members who were exiting SCP-112 after its ‘inaugural’ ride, the 
riders began to [REDACTED], attracting local media attention. (For 
more information, see Archive.112. ). Suspecting the ride had 


traits within its mandate, the Foundation purchased the park (under 
the auspices of rebuilding the park as Amusatastic Land) in order to 
test any potential anomalous properties from the ride. 


When SCP-112 is started, the ride functions as expected until Point 
Alpha, its primary drop. When a car reaches Point Alpha, the train 
vanishes. After 3 minutes (the estimated time the train would 
normally take), the train rematerializes at Point Omega (3 m from 
the coaster's starting point) 


Human subjects riding SCP-112 have a drastically different 
experience compared to outside observation. The time-frame 
between Point Alpha and Point Omega is massively extended, with 
subjective ride times ranging from 4 minutes to months. The 
properties of the ride also vary from person to person. Most subjects 
report elements on the ride that do not exist on the ride proper, like 
batwings, cobra rolls, and inclined loops. Subjects do not have any 
sense that the rest of the world is alien or otherwise different; only 
the ride experience is different. 


Upon exiting the ride, subjects typically experience feelings of 
confusion and ill health, depending on the subjective time they spent 
riding SCP-112. These feelings are based not on any physical 
maladies but the subjective experience of dealing with a physical 
malady for an extended period of time. For example, a subject with a 
subjective ride time of three days may experience confusion that he 
had strong feelings of hunger for most of his ride, but at the end of 
the ride he was not hungry at all. 


Addendum-A: Assorted Experiments: 
Experiment 11234534 


Date: 02/22/ 
Subject: D-34534 


D-34534 was sent on SCP-112 at 2:42 pm. The train 
reached Point Alpha at 2:43 pm; remateralization at 
2:46 pm. Upon exiting SCP-112, D-34534 quietly asked 
for aspirin before passing out. Upon revival and 
medication, D-34534 reported a subjective ride time of 


36 minutes, with multiple loops and twists not found on 
SCP-112's architecture. 


Experiment 11267564 


Date: 05/14/ 
Subject: D-67564 


D-67564 was sent on SCP-112 at 1:30 pm. The train 
reached Point Alpha at 1:31 pm; remateralization at 
1:34 pm. D-67564 reported a subjective ride time of four 
minutes, which D-67564 reported as enjoyable with the 
exception of "that part where the car jumps off the track 
and lands right before the loop". 


Experiment 1125893 


Date: 06/01/ 
Subject: D-5893 


D-5893 was sent on SCP-112 at 12:30 pm. The train 
reached Point Alpha at 12:31 pm; remateralization at 
12:34 pm. At the end of the ride, D-5893 immediately ran 
to the table with consumables, wordlessly consuming 
everything he could grab onto, including the wrappers of 
previously-consumed food objects. D-5893 became 
violent when Foundation staff attempted to subdue him, 
even going so far as to [EXPUNGED]. Upon capture and 
interviewing, D-5893 remained confused and disoriented, 
continuously saying the phrases "no food till the ride is 
over", "let me sleep, let the spinning stop", and "152 
lights". The Foundation believes that D-5893's 
statements imply that his subjective ride time was 
approximately five months long, and during his trip he 
experienced five months worth of malnutrition and 
exhaustion, despite no physical proof of those 
experiences found. 


Experiment 1127556 


Date: 08/08/ 


Subject: D-7556, one standard-issue camera facing 
D-7556 


D-7556 was sent on SCP-112 at 11:36 am. The train 
reached Point Alpha at 11:37 am; remateralization at 
11:40 am. D-7556 experienced symptoms similar (but 
muted) to those of D-5893. During the interview, D-7556 
explained that his subjective ride time was one month 
and six days long. During his trip, he was unable to eat 
or sleep, and suffered major headaches from SCP-112. 
D-7556 reported experiencing every sort of rollercoaster 
element currently in use, and a few believed to be 
conceptual. Camera footage, lasting 3 minutes, shows 
D-7556 sobbing for the duration of the ride, with 
movement consistent with SCP-112's physical track.

Experiment 112-35784-23512, Post-Ride Interview #1 
Access 


Subject: D-35784 
Interviewer: Dr. 
Interview Type: Post-ride Interview 


Dr. : How are you feeling, 35784? 


D-35784: (rolls eyes) |'m fine. It was just a 
rollercoaster ride, dude. Maybe you have me 
confused with the other guy? You know, the 
one that attacked when the ride was over? 


Dr. : | will, in time. Describe your 
experience on SCP-112, please. 


D-35784: (laughs) What's there to say? Before 
| was sent to jail, | designed coasters. A couple 
minutes too long of a ride, you always gotta 
worry about that, but the twists that thing has 
are damn good. A few of them, I'm pretty sure 


| mocked up back in' ! It would have been a 
lot better ifthe tard next to me wasn't acting 
like a damn fool. 


Dr. : D-23512? What was he doing? 


D-35784: (sighs) It's what he wasn't doing that 
pissed me off. He was slouched over so much 
that his restraints were taut, just facing 
forward. Think his mouth was open the entire 
time. If it were possible, I'd say he looked like 
someone who had been on a crying jag for a 
few hours. | dunno. When we got that slow 
point before the banked curve, | tried snapping 
my fingers in front of him. Idiot just barely 
turned to face me. And you know what 
happened afterwards. 


Dr. : Yes, he punched you. 


D-35784: Not really a punch, really. Slapped 
me, shaking me, trying to choke me. | didn't 
get the impression that he really wanted to kill 
me, just wanted to get an answer out of me. 
That's what he said, actually. Shit like "Why 
didn't you look at me?" and "Why did you not 
stop cheering the whole time?" in a very 
hoarse voice. Was in mid-question with 
another when the guards introduced their rifles 
to the back of his head. 


Experiment 112-35784-23512, Post-Ride Interview #2 
Access 


Subject: D-23512 

Interviewer: Dr. 

Interview Type: Post-ride Interview 
Forward: This interview was conducted three 
weeks after riding on SCP-112 with D-35784. 
D-23512 is not willing to speak verbally since 


his ride. From time to time he attempts to 
speak, but shows signs of discomfort and pain 
in doing so, stating that his throat is too sore to 
talk. While there are no medical issues with 
D-23512, his experiences have obviously left 
him traumatized from his experience on 
SCP-112. Dr. estimates a full recovery is 
possible before monthly terminations, and that 
at such time he will be capable of estimating 
precisely how long his subjective ride time 
was. This interview was conducted through 
written communication. Given his fixation on 
certain traits of the ride, this transcript has 
been edited for brevity. 


Dr. : Hello, 23512. How are you feeling? 


D-23512: Still hurts. still dizzy. loops and 
loops. spins spins spins. foreverandever 


Dr. : Why do you say your throat hurts? 


D-23512: screamed. screamed over and over. 
girl wouldn't answer me. SHE NEVER 
LOOKED AT ME i screamed and screamed till 
i couldnt scream anymore. throat got better. 
screamed again. never looked never noticed, 
just kept cheering the hell of ups and downs 
and downs and ups and side to side and side 
to side 


Dr. : I'm assuming you're talking about 
the person who went on the ride with you. 
35784. 


D-23512: girl with the big jiggling tits, cheered 
and laughed and cheered and laughed. every 
spin every turn every twist even when it got 
dark i could hear her laughing and wooing. 
couldnt sleep cuz of her laughing and 
cheering. light and day bright and dark always 


screaming and giggling HOW COULD SHE 
DO THAT 


Dr. : She told me you were just sitting 
there, staring ahead. She said she tried to get 
your attention, but you never responded.

SCP-113: The Gender-Switcher 


Item #: SCP-113 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-113 is to be kept in 
standard storage in Site-23. SCP-113 may be handled with 
laboratory gloves. No organism may be exposed to SCP-113 without 
prior approval. Personnel exposed to SCP-113 are to be kept under 
medical observation for 7 days. 


Description: SCP-113 resembles a small, polished piece of red 
jasper. Analysis shows that SCP-113 is not composed of jasper, but 
[REDACTED] composition similar to that of other recovered objects. 


When SCP-113 comes in direct contact with the flesh of an 
organism possessing sex chromosomes, the organism's physical 
characteristics associated with gender and biological sex are 
transformed (including genetics and secondary sexual 
characteristics), either reversed or altered. 


This process occurs in four stages: 


Stage 1: Lasts approximately 0.2 seconds. SCP-113 bonds with the 
cells that it touches and induces an unidentified chemical change. 
This process causes tissue damage similar to mild burns, and 
SCP-113 cannot be removed from contact with the subject until all 
stages complete. 


Stage 2: Lasts approximately 20 seconds. SCP-113 emits a low- 
intensity electromagnetic wave which travels through the subject's 
body. Subjects may experience nausea and vomiting, along with a 
stinging sensation throughout the body. 


Stage 3: Lasts approximately 60 seconds. Throughout this stage, 
the subject's cellular makeup is temporarily transformed. Altered cell 


composition ranges widely from being unidentifiable as human, to a 
unique variation of partially-differentiated stem cells. The subject will 
experience intense stimulation of all sensory nerves during the final 
20 seconds of this stage, and describe this part of the process as 
extremely painful. Subjects in poor health may die of shock in this 
stage. 


At the end of this stage, the subject's biological sex is permanently 
altered. In standard cases, the subject's biological sex will be 
changed to the opposite biological sex. All primary and secondary 
sexual characteristics are altered accordingly. 


Stage 4: SCP-113 disengages from the subject and becomes inert. 


Subjects with sex chromosomes atypical for their species (Such as 
intersex humans) are affected in unpredictable ways by SCP-113. In 
human intersex subjects, this appears to be influenced by gender 
identity; such subjects may be unaffected, or their bodies may 
change to match baseline male or female bodies (with sex 
chromosomes to match), or other results may occur. Usually, 
change seems to match or partially match subject's gender identity 
during initial use, if gender identity is nonstandard. Whether 
SCP-113 alters its effect based on the presence of a nonstandard 
gender identity is under investigation. 


Gender identity of human subjects is not typically altered by 
SCP-113. In subjects with nonstandard gender identities (typically 
gender identities which do not match their pre-exposure biological 
sex), this usually results in positive psychological effects. In subjects 
with standard gender identities (male/female, matching pre- 
exposure biological sex), psychological effects are usually negative. 
These appear to be natural psychological reactions, and not an 
anomalous effect of SCP-113. 


SCP-113 exposure results in unusual effects in certain species. In 
Varanus komodoensis (the komodo dragon), a number of ZW/ZZ 
individuals were transformed to possess WW chromosomes instead 
of ZZ or ZW, which was in every instance fatal. In Caenorhabditis 
elegans (a nematode), no males were produced despite C. elegans 
having two sexes (hermaphrodite and male). Male subjects became 
hermaphrodites, and hermaphrodite subjects were unaffected. 


(Note: In wild populations, male C. elegans are extremely rare.) 


Subjects of single-sex, hermaphroditic species (Such as 
earthworms) will not be transformed by SCP-113; the object's 
process will stop at the second stage and the object will become 
inert. 


Previously exposed subjects may undergo SCP-113's effects again 
by re-initiating contact with SCP-113 after approximately 60 seconds 
have passed. However, in 25% of cases, immediate second 
exposure to SCP-113 fails to transform the subject correctly. 
Transformation failure varies in nature, but usually includes massive 
bone, organ, and tissue damage to the subject, as well as partial or 
complete obliteration of genitalia. This commonly results in death by 
organ trauma or internal bleeding. 


Failure rate can be affected by subjects not coming into contact with 
SCP-113 for a lengthy period of time, which varies by subject; 
patterns are under research. Under normal circumstances, 
transformation failure rate increases exponentially upon multiple 
exposures. Subjects who survive rapid, repeated exposure are 
eventually transformed [DATA EXPUNGED] Further anomalous 
elements continue to appear as exposure count increases.

SCP-114: Bringer of Conflict 


Item #: SCP-114 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-114 is kept in a 10 m3 
standard concrete humanoid containment cell at Site-17. The cell is 
positioned at the bottom of a 40 m shaft to prevent staff members 
from coming into the proximity of SCP-114. The cell is accessible by 
a staircase restricted to emergency use only. Daily rations are 
provided to SCP-114 three times a day by means of a dumbwaiter. 
SCP-114 is also permitted to submit written requests to attending 
staff by the same means. To date, SCP-114 has been granted one 
Qur’an (Arabic), one prayer rug, and one blank journal with pens. 


Research on SCP-114 is suspended until further notice. Elimination 
of SCP-114 is acceptable in the event of a multiple containment- 
breach crisis. 


Description: SCP-114 is a Pashtun woman of Afghani origin, 
approximately 40 years old and 160 cm tall. SCP-114 has the 
involuntary effect of fostering and escalating violent conflict between 
all individuals in her proximity. Subjects within ten to fifteen meters 
of SCP-114 become inconsolably aggressive at trivialities or points 
of little consequence, often to the degree of projecting hostile 
motives on others. Arguments generally arise between individuals 
after one to three minutes of exposure to SCP-114. The resulting 
arguments turn to violence in all cases. 


Notably, persons affected by the presence of SCP-114 will never 
exhibit hostility towards SCP-114 or attempt to inflict harm upon her. 
Subjects ordered to deliberately injure SCP-114 find themselves 
unable to do so. For relevant information, see Experiment Log 114- 
A. 


Communication with SCP-114 has only been possible through 


written notes or electronic means. Researchers have gleaned that 

SCP-114 is unaware of her effect on other people. She shows little 
to no response to exposure to violence, and seems to be under the 
impression that human beings are naturally aggressively hostile to 

each other. 


SCP-114 is consistently unresponsive and uncooperative with 
researchers, and appears to be acutely wary of human interaction. 
Due to the difficulty of communication with SCP-114, psychological 
evaluations have been speculative at best. Rudimentary 
assessments strongly suggest psychological trauma — combat 
stress reaction and/or compassion fatigue have been tentatively 
proposed. 


Document 114-a-898-12: 

Abridged eyewitness report from , a former soldier in the 
40th Red Army, interviewed March 23, 1991. Translated and 
transcribed by 


“...We took — on February the first, 1980. It was a shit 
little village, but the Mujahideen put up a damn good 
fight. Eight of our men killed, fifteen wounded. One tank 
destroyed. It was dead cold, too. You think the Middle 
East is warm, but you go to the mountains in February, it 
is not so. Anyway, we were mopping up the area, going 
through the huts, looking for weapons caches and the 
like. It seemed like every doorstep had some old 
babushka weeping and tearing at her hair and clutching 
our knees. But at the end of the street was this one big 
hut, no babushka outside. Only there were trays of food 
left out, like an offering before the door. ( pauses for 
several seconds) So six of us go in to search. It was big 
and empty inside, dusty, and practically bare. Didn't look 
like anyone had been in there in a long time. But soon, 
we hear this soft whimpering, though, and look! — over in 
the corner there’s a little girl, must be eight or nine, 
curled up and all alone. Piotyr... he was a big softie... he 
goes over, he bends down, puts out his hands, says — 
‘Come on, little one, it is okay, we won't hurt you.’ But the 
girl won’t budge. Then Piotyr stands up, all stiffly, and 


looks back at us funny. Konstantin walks over and puts a 
hand on his shoulder, tells him to leave the girl alone, 
laughing good naturedly. Piotyr gets all red-faced, like 
he’s had a full bottle, and shouts ‘Get your damn hand 
off my shoulder!’ or something of the sort. He looks like a 
wild animal. We are all in surprise. And suddenly they 
are on the ground, and he’s bashing Konstantin’s face in 
with the butt of his rifle, screaming. It took three of us to 
pull him off, and by then Konstantin was dead....”

Experiment Log 114A 


Experiment Log 114-A: 

Experiments were performed between / / and / / .SCP-114 
was placed in a test room with distancing protocols similar to her 
containment cell. Attending researchers observed through remote 
electronic means. 


Experiment 114-A-1 

Procedure: Subjects D-1269 and D-8543 were placed in 
the test room with SCP-114. No instructions were given. 
Results: Subjects did not attempt to interact with 
SCP-114. After 75 seconds of exposure, D-8543 verbally 
requested a cigarette from D-1269. D-1269 responded 
with negative. D-8543 proceeded to shove D-1269 
against the wall of the test room. Subjects began fighting 
with apparent intent to kill. Subjects ignored verbal 
entreaties to cease. Subjects terminated. Throughout the 
experiment, SCP-114 watched the proceedings but was 
visibly unmoved. 


Experiment 114-A-2 

Procedure: Subjects D-5410 and D-5699 were placed in 
the test room with SCP-114. A plastic screen was placed 
across the length of the test room so that subjects were 
unaware of the presence of SCP-114. 

Results: Comparable to experiment 114-A-1. Subjects 
terminated. 


Experiment 114-A-3 

Procedure: Subject D-1002 was given a carving knife, 
stainless steel, 15 cm. Subject was placed in the test 
room with SCP-114 with orders to kill her. 

Results: D-1002 immediately rushed at SCP-114. 
SCP-114 recoiled, screaming. D-1002 stopped abruptly 
at approximately half a meter from SCP-114 and 


dropped the knife. D-1002 stood still for four minutes, 
growing visibly agitated. At five minutes, D-1002 began 
yelling incomprehensibly and moving around the room in 
an unnatural apelike fashion. After eight minutes, D-1002 
began banging on the walls with his head and fists. 
Subject was rendered unconscious. Subject terminated. 


Experiment 114-A-4 

Procedure: Subject D-4343 was placed in the test room 
with SCP-114 with orders to remain still. After four 
minutes, subject was forcibly removed from the room by 
robotic means. 

Results: Subject showed signs of aggression and 
agitation comparable to experiment 114-A-3. Heart rate 
was recorded at 210 bpm. Blood tests revealed levels of 
cortisol and adrenaline impossible without the application 
of drugs. Subject returned to a normal physical and 
mental state after approximately fifteen hours. 


Experiment 114-A-5 

Procedure: Subject D-7258, a native Afghan, was 
administered a dilute mixture of mild sedatives, anti- 
depressants, tetrahydrocannabinol, alpha blockers, and 
beta blockers intravenously. Subject was placed in the 
test room with SCP-114 and ordered to attempt normal 
conversation. 

Results: D-7258 addressed SCP-114. SCP-114 
maintained eye contact with D-7258, but did not respond. 
After 45 seconds, D-7258 began shivering and shouting. 
At one and a half minutes after exposure, D-7258 fell to 
the floor in convulsions. Subject expired after three 
minutes. Autopsy of the cadaver revealed massive 
cerebral hemorrhage. 


SCP-115: Miniature Dump Truck 


Item #: SCP-115 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-115-1 is to be stored in 
the Secure Vehicles Storage Facility in Site- , where access is 
restricted unless accompanied by Level 3 personnel or higher. 
SCP-115-2 is currently being kept in a secure drawer of Dr. Ss 
desk. SCP-115 is not to be used without Dr. 's explicit approval. 
Any site staff using SCP-115-2 must return it in a timely manner or 
face punitive measures. No other special containment procedures 
are required. 


Description: SCP-115-1 is a toy dump truck, with no identifying 
markers or labels to identify its original manufacturer. However, 
unlike regular toy dump trucks, SCP-115-1 weighs as much as the 
actual vehicle it represents, roughly 90 tons. It is currently unknown 
how the vehicle weighs this much, as analysis of SCP-115-1's 
composition reveals that it is made of the same commercial plastic 
commonly found in similar cheap-quality toys. 


SCP-115-1 is also capable of motorized movement and can function 
exactly like a normal dump truck, excepting the fact that it is several 
magnitudes smaller. It is controlled by SCP-115-2, which resembles 
a heavily modified RC car controller. SCP-115-2 can control 
SCP-115's movements despite the fact that SCP-115-1 lacks any 
kind of radio receiver or mechanical parts. SCP-115-2 does not work 
with any other radio controlled device, but otherwise functions 
exactly like a mundane radio controller, even requiring batteries to 
function properly. 


Testing has shown that in addition to its abnormal weight, 
SCP-115-1 also has a similar carrying capacity as its larger 
counterparts, being able to carry or tow roughly 120 tons of cargo. In 
addition, SCP-115-1 also apparently needs diesel fuel to run 


properly. There is a small port in its left side that allows fueling, 
though it stores and consumes as much fuel as a regular dump 
truck. How it consumes the diesel fuel, as well as where it is stored 
are issues currently under study. 


SCP-115-1 was originally found in a construction site in , where 
workers attempted to move it, but found the task impossible due to 
the fact that SCP-115-1 weighs 90 tons. They were forced to use 
heavy machinery to finally move SCP-115-1 off the construction site 
and to a nearby town, where it became a local curiosity. Agents 

and = discovered SCP-115-1 and found SCP-115-2 at the 
same construction site. Class A amnestics were distributed among 
the townspeople in order to cover up SCP-115-1's existence. 


To anybody using SCP-115-1 for testing, | would like to remind you 
about Newton's Laws! Driving SCP-115-1 recklessly at high speeds 
is inviting disaster, and we've already had to deal with several 
destroyed walls and equipment due to improper handling! -Dr.

SCP-116: The Brittle Boy 


Item #: SCP-116 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-116 is kept in a 16 by 16 
meter cell, constructed of Kevlar, with 1 meter porous rubber 
padding on all surfaces. No personnel are to enter cell without 
proper briefing and threat-reduction measures (see Appendix III). 
Cell is to be monitored at all times by 6 agents, 4 stationed at corner 
points of cell and 2 stationed with SCP-116. No pointed objects or 
intrusive testing equipment of any kind are to be placed in the 
possession of the agents within the cell. Outside monitoring is 
achieved using VBS05 class concealed button cameras stationed at 
high corners in the cell. Outside monitoring is to be carried out by a 
further 2 agents. If suspicious activity begins, initialize Achilles 
procedure A. All monitoring agents, internal or external, are to 
undergo bi-monthly IQ tests as well as standard weekly psychiatric 
analysis. Significant drops in the IQ of agents (2 5 pts.) is to be 
regarded as prolonged exposure and to be treated as outlined in 
standard Quarantine instructions. 


Description: SCP-116 has the outward appearance of a Caucasian 
male of around 9 years of age. Skin is cauterized and scarred over 
98% of body, limbs, and head. SCP-116’s bone structure is 
drastically different from standard Homo sapiens bone layout, and 
all bones are dangerously brittle. The most distinguishing difference 
between the human body and that of SCP-116 is the non-existence 
of joints in the latter. SCP-116 is entirely capable of independent 
movement, but to do so would cause multiple shattering breaks to all 
bones affected by said movement. To combat this, SCP-116 shows 
remarkable self-healing, and over a period of minutes can 
completely regenerate its rigid bone placement. SCP-116 has 
shown some language skill since acquisition; however, the only 
language it speaks is a disrupted and broken version of English in 


which every word has been replaced with an almost entirely 
unconnected one. Prolonged attempts to make sense of SCP-116’s 
speech have resulted in some long-term mental degradation in 
researchers. There seems to be no pattern to the word replacement, 
and attempts continue to translate it. Research suggests that 
SCP-116 may be capable of low level telepathy, which deteriorates 
the victim’s brain functions over a long period of time. 


Appendix I:

Memorandum: May 29th, 

Subj: Development of suicidal tendencies by SCP-116 


NB: SCP-116 has begun to show extreme suicidal tendencies. 
Request modification of monitoring and containment protocol to 
avoid undue damage to subject. 


Appendix II: 
Dr. [19-1429] 
SCP-116 language notes: June 19, 


116’s unique linguistic set up is one of increasing interest to me. 
Continuing research by my team and me has yielded these 
somewhat basic results: 


attached file — 116linguistics_aA0.001.doc 


No clear reasoning has been found as to why 116 communicates in 
this way. Although the words spoken by it are English, the 
parameters under which they operate are drastically different. No 
attempt has yet been made to produce written language from 
SCP-116, due to bone structure anomalies. Even speaking can be 
an extreme challenge for 116, despite its experience-dulled pain 
receptors. | have taken a special interest in this subject, as the way 
in which it reacts to normal English is remarkable. It is obvious that 


what we say to it sounds just as garbled to it as what it says back to 
us does to us (if that makes any sense at all). In all my years at 
Site-19, | have never seen anything quite like it linguistically. | will 
continue to study and record what | find. 


Appendix III: 
Lt. [19-0349] 


Memorandum: June 30, 


Subj: Procedure of, and relating to, worrying new suicidal tendencies 
shown by SCP-116. 


i) No solid equipment weighing more than 8 lb may be taken into 
cell. 


ii) All interior guards are to have canine teeth filed until blunted 
completely. 


iii) Security level is to be raised to rT5; full body cavity search and x- 
ray before entrance to cell is granted. 


iv) If any asphyxiation or hypoxia appears to be affecting SCP-116, 
emergency CPR is to be administered by internal guards. 


Suggestion noted that SCP-116 should be connected to a life 
support machine even when not in danger of death, to prevent 
unintentional termination. 

Appendix IV: 

Sgt. [19-0529] 

Memorandum: July 11th, 

Subj: 'Cessation of research re: SCP-116' 


Any and all research regarding SCP-116 is to be immediately halted 
until further notice. Dr. , the primary researcher into SCP-116’s 


language and delayed telepathy, is to be removed from this site and 
kept in solitary confinement until all symptoms of his dementia and 
schizophrenia have dissipated. All personnel involved with SCP-116 
are to be quarantined until further notice. Full bone marrow 
transplants are to be performed on all agents who have been in 
tactile contact with SCP-116. Suggested termination of interior guard 
protocol noted. 


Appendix V: 

Col. [20-0212] 

Subj: ‘Cessation of SCP-116 project' 
Memorandum: March 20, 


Given the suicidal tendencies of SCP-116, its deleterious effects on 
involved personnel and lack of significant useful progress in 
research, | propose we allow SCP-116 to self-terminate in a 
controlled environment. This thing has, so far, proven to be a 
fruitless waste of resources. Perhaps postmortem examination will 
provide us with answers we haven't been able to obtain so far.

SCP-117: Complete Multitool 


Item #: SCP-117 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-117 is to be kept in the 
small leather pouch it was found in, unless in use or in current study. 


Any personnel deemed mentally fit may enter the containment cell of 
the SCP, though if they are suspected to be trying to remove the 
SCP without permission, they are to be searched, and if that is the 
case, they are to be reprimanded. 


The door to the containment cell should remain locked, and a guard 
posted only when the object is in use. 


Description: The item appears to be a regular multitool, of unknown 
make and brand, found in , Florida. At first glance, only the 
normal tools are found (screwdriver, knife, can opener, etc.), but if 
the user is faced with a task, regardless of what tool the subject 
intends to pull out and use, a tool perfectly fitted for the job will take 
its place, regardless of spacial quantities that are being broken by 
the tool. All other tools always seem to be present, though, after the 
task is completed and the tool closed, unless faced with a task 
requiring that tool again, the tool cannot be found on the tool again. 


Addendum: Those with Level 2 Security Clearance should see 
Document #117-B 


Document #117-A: Effects of Usage 


After countless uses and testing with the SCP, it has been 
discovered to cause harm, and possibly death to the user by means 
of absorbing iron, copper, calcium, and zinc from the user's body as 
long as the user is touching the device. Gloves seem to have no 
curbing effect on this, and the rate of absorption seems to depend 


on the tools used/created by SCP-117. It is advised that only Class 
D personnel are used in conjunction with this SCP, to prevent death 
or injury of researchers.

Document #117-G: Developments Concerning SCP-117 


"After exposing the SCP to an array of different items and people, it 
appears that the object may very well be sentient to some degree. 
Because of this, we must consider the fact that the SCP is 
susceptible to telepathy and must not come into contact with any 
SCPs with known telepathic powers." - Dr. Climan 


The above was a transcript of the personal notes of Dr. Climan, who 
seems to have taken a harmless interest in the object. Testing with 
other SCPs is suspended as of 9/16/ . 


Note #117-1: 5/4/ 


Testing is suggested for SCP-882, and is under consideration by Dr. 
Climan. 


Note #117-2: 6/19/20 


Further biological testing is halted by Dr. Climan after Incident 
#117-4a; The SCP is still fit to be used for any repairs around the 
facilities, as long as the SCP is followed by one or more armed 


guards briefed on proper use of the SCP. 
Note #117-4: 6/21/20 


"After much consideration, | must deny testing of SCP-117 with 
SCP-882. The risk of damaging SCP-882 is simply too great to 
overlook." - Dr. Climan 


Note #117-26: 9/16/ 


"After Incident #117-3f, I'm forced to put a stop to all testing of 
SCP-117 in conjunction with other SCPs. The risk of a total loss of 
containment is far too great. All biological testing is to be halted until 
a later date, as the results so far have proved varying, and there is a 
limit of Class D staff available for my research." - Dr. Climan 


Note #117-27: 7/20/ 

Biological testing resumed by Dr. Climan, with mixed results. Testing 
of SCP-117 with other SCPs under re-consideration by O5- , though 
it seems unlikely further testing will occur. 

Note #117-28: 3/20/ 

Testing is suggested for SCP-682.

SCP-118: Nuclear Protists 


Item #: SCP-118 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to the number and 
distribution of SCP-118, containment of every specimen is 
impossible. Known SCP-118 Red Zones are to be closed off to all 
civilian marine vessels and divers under the guise of a military 
presence or other plausible cover story. Contacts in navies known to 
operate near SCP-118 Red Zones are to be utilized in order to 
minimize the passage of military vessels through the Red Zones. If 
any area within the Red Zone has a depth of less than 1500 meters, 
the restriction is to be applied to aircraft as well. All human activity in 
surrounding Yellow Zones is to be monitored, and any non-military 
vessels or individuals approaching the Red Zone are to be turned 
away. In the Red and Yellow Zones, protocol TOXIC HARVEST is to 
be followed to ensure the removal of devices generated by 
SCP-118. Furthermore, protocol CELL WATCH is to be followed to 
ensure the early detection of any emerging Red Zones. 


Samples of SCP-118 can be stored using standard containment 
procedures for non-virulent anomalous microbes. 


Description: SCP-118 is a species of ocean-dwelling protista that is 
capable of assembling functional, self initiating, nuclear devices from 
materials present in ocean water. While SCP-118 is unknown and 
hence has not been classified by the scientific community, 
specimens resemble protists of the phylum Euglenophyta but have 
significantly increased levels of movement speed, nutrient storage 
capability and resistance to alpha radiation. Specimens of SCP-118 
have been found in all of the world's oceans and seas. 


When in a survivable salt water environment, specimens of 
SCP-118 will seek out materials including but not limited to iron, 
silver, copper, carbon, TNT, and uranium isotopes. When SCP-118 


has located a material of interest the material is absorbed into the 
cell using a method dependent on the size of the material. Single 
atoms and molecules (mostly substances that are dissolved in the 
water) are passed through the cellular membrane through 
specialized protein pumps. Larger particles smaller than the cell 
itself are ingested through phagocytosis. Larger pieces will have 
particles torn off through an unknown mechanism, which are then 
absorbed using the first two methods. This "mining" occurs even in 
solid and hard substances, such as metal ingots. 


Upon reaching a threshold of absorbed materials, specimens of 
SCP-118 will move towards an "assembly area" on the bottom of the 
body of the water they are present in and will contribute to the 
assembly of a nuclear device. The nuclear devices assembled are 
gun-type fission devices using Uranium-235 as their fissile material. 
Observation of devices in the process of being assembled show that 
the process starts with the assembly of a metallic rounded cylindrical 
casing for the device, followed by the creation of two sub-critical 
masses of uranium and the conventional explosives to propel them 
into each other. The mechanism by which SCP-118 enriches 
harvested uranium is currently unknown. (See Addendum 4). The 
device is then finished with the assembly of a Uranium-238 tamper 
where the two uranium masses will collide and the assembly of a 
trigger mechanism. SCP-118 appears to assemble the necessary 
components by adding minuscule amounts of material to an (initially) 
tiny material "seed". Differing atoms and molecules can be added to 
the same component and assembled components are not 
necessarily homogeneous. It is currently unknown whether SCP-118 
builds on the seed atom by atom or by adding very small sub- 
micrometer fragments. The mechanism by which SCP-118 attaches 
new material to the seed seamlessly is unknown. The assembly time 
depends on the size of the device being assembled, water 
conditions and mineral availability but observations suggest that 300 
days for a medium size device can be considered average. 


Once a nuclear device is finished SCP-118 will detonate the device 
by completing a circuit in the trigger mechanism. Around 90% of the 
nuclear explosions recorded as a result of SCP-118 have had yields 
in the 20 to 35 kiloton range, although yields as low as 4 kilotons 
andupto _ kilotons have been reported. Aside from cases involving 


human interference, failure to detonate has never been observed, as 
all nuclear devices recorded have either been detonated of their own 
accord or removed from the water prior to completion. Devices 
constructed by SCP-118 appear to be larger than man-made 
devices of similar design and yield, presumably due to the neutron 
moderating effect of the water that separates the uranium masses 
throughout much of the device's construction. A given assembly 
area typically has between one and three devices in the process of 
assembly at any given time, although as many as six at a time has 
been observed. In zones where multiple devices are being 
simultaneously assembled, the devices are separated by enough 
distance to prevent the detonation of one from destroying or setting 
off the other(s). 


While the Foundation is unable to prevent civilians and other 
organizations from obtaining samples of SCP-118, its superficial 
similarity to existing species, few numbers (relative to all oceanic 
protista), lack of anomalous behavior outside material rich bodies of 
water, and the Foundation's standard monitoring of scientific studies 
at risk of uncovering information about anomalous biological species 
ensures that the chance of SCP-118's true nature being determined 
through cell samples is minimal. 


There are currently six different active SCP-118 assembly areas 
known to the Foundation. While the natural disappearance of an 
assembly area has been observed, the current consensus among 
researchers assigned to SCP-118 is that elimination of assembly 
areas without massively noticeable effects is currently unfeasible 
(See Experiment Log 118 - Gamma for details). Thus, containment 
is to be established at SCP-118's assembly areas, to be designated 
"Red Zones", and surrounding "Yellow Zones". Furthermore, areas 
with elevated concentrations of SCP-118, "Zones of Interest", are to 
be monitored for signs of assembly areas.

Note: Red Zone lies within city limits. This, 
combined with the shallow average depth of Red Zone, 
the heavy shipping traffic in the area, the ongoing 
tensions between and , a nuclear power, and the 
presence of Foundation personnel and facilities in the 
city makes a nuclear detonation in this Red Zone 
unacceptable. In addition, heavy ship traffic through the 
area and heavy air traffic above the city make restricting 
access for any long period of time impractical. 


Zones of Interest (ZOl) 


ZOI-1( N, E) - SCP-118 levels increasing

Containment protocol TOXIC HARVEST has been updated. 


Addendum-118-2: With the signing of the Partial Test Ban Treaty 
and growing number and capability of nuclear detonation detection 
methods in use, the consequences of nuclear detonations caused 
by SCP-118 have increased. Containment protocols have been 
revised in light of these facts. 


Addendum-118-3: Due to the significant cost of containing 
SCP-118 Red Zones, the O-5 council has requested trials on 
possible methods to eliminate SCP-118 assembly areas. 


+ Experiment Log 118-Gamma - 
Level 4 clearance required 


Introduction: Researchers with access to the 
files on SCP-118 are allowed to submit 
proposals to eradicate an SCP-118 assembly 
area with acceptable levels of collateral 
damage. The ones approved by TOXIC 
HARVEST command and the 05 council will 
be carried out. Trials are to be performed in 
Red Zone . 


Proposal: Sterilization of unfinished nuclear 
device and immediate surroundings using a 
UV light emitter. 

Approval: Approved 

Result: Area around unfinished warhead 
initially free of micro-organisms, however 
SCP-118 concentration returned to normal 
levels within an hour. 

Non-sustained sterilization of sites seems 
ineffectual. Any method we come up with will 
have to keep the Red Zone, or at least the sea 
floor of it, free of SCP-118 for an extended 
period of time. -Dr Brant 


Proposal: Sodium Hypochlorite pumped to 
ocean floor. 

Approval: Denied 

Result: N/A 

The chemicals will disperse too much to be 
effective. Any amount sufficient to reduce 
SCP-118's numbers will cause massive 
ecological damage. -Dr Klaus 


Proposal: Depth charge bombardment of 
ocean floor to break up under-assembly 
devices 

Approval: Denied 

Result: N/A 

Aside from the fact this would break our naval 
budget, the chances of triggering the 
conventional explosive in the devices and 
causing a "fizzle" is too high. It would also 
make our activities even more detectable with 
hydrophones. -Dr Klaus 


Proposal: "Sweeping" of ocean using a 
Cobalt-60 powered directional gamma ray 
emitter. 

Approval: Approved 

Result: While procedure resulted in the 


sterilization of "swept" area, procedure was far 
too slow to sterilize entire Red Zone before 
specimens returned. Keeping entire Red Zone 
sterile would require impractical numbers of 
emitters and vessels. 

While it's a shame the device can not get rid of 
the Red Zones for us, | think it can be of use to 
our device recovery teams. The gamma rays 
can sterilize the devices we recover to prevent 
undesired detonations during the recovery of 
almost complete devices. The gamma rays 
can also penetrate into areas where our 
current chemical and UV sterilization methods 
can't reach -Captain Thomson (RZ-3 Zone 
Commander) 


Proposal: A plastic membrane to block 
access to ocean floor at Red Zone 

Approval: Proof of concept on one under- 
assembly warhead approved 

Result: First attempt was unable to acquire a 
water-tight seal around warhead. Membrane in 
second attempt was too fragile for ocean 
conditions and was torn off its moors. Third 
membrane, manufactured using a thicker and 
sturdier design, had hundreds of micro tears 
ripped in it within hours, possibly due to 
SCP-118's "mining" action. 

Not surprising, considering that SCP-118 has 
been known to wear through the casings of old 
artillery shells to harvest the explosives within. 
We had hoped that cutting off the assembly 
area would work better than cutting off the raw 
materials. -Dr. Klaus 


Proposal: Compound pumped to ocean 
floor. 

Note: Proposed by Dr. , former 
researcher for SCP-118 currently working at 
Bio Research Site 's Chemical Research 


Division. Tests confirm that compound is lethal 
to SCP-118, remains concentrated at bottom 
of water, and degrades into relatively harmless 
chemicals in water over a period of 15 hours. 
Approval: Approved 

Result: Over one week, SCP-118 
concentrations on ocean floor fell to 3% of 
previous levels. No signs of progress observed 
on two known uncompleted nuclear devices in 
Red Zone. However, 100 days after the start of 
the experiment an under assembly nuclear 
device was detected 60 km North of the Red 
Zone. Measurements in the area indicated 
vastly elevated levels of SCP-118 and the area 
around discovery was reclassified as a Red 
Zone. Furthermore, the unexpected 
breakdown of Compound by certain 
species of oceanic bacteria resulted in toxic 
byproducts that caused a noticeable die-off of 
fish in treated zone. Upon stoppage of 
experiment Red Zone was observed to 
gradually "migrate" back to former location. 

It seems that making a Red Zone non-viable 
served only to move SCP-118's assembly 
areas to a new location. Nevertheless, 
perhaps if we can improve Compound or 
find a new one whose application is more 
subtle we can move Red Zones into areas 
away from areas of human habitation or 
commercial activity. -Dr. 


Proposal: Use of SCP- via 


Approval: Denied 

Result: N/A 

SCP- has Classified properties that preclude 
its use in such a manner. -O5-5 


Conclusion: Due to increased media attention 
to areas around Red Zone due to aftermath 


of the application of Compound and the 
lack of proposals without high risks of 
substantial collateral damage, testing in Red 
Zone has been suspended. 


Addendum-118-4 (Level 4 Clearance required): 


Our research has determined SCP-118 enriches uranium 
by exploiting the fact that U-235 has a slightly greater 
preference for a high oxidation state than U-238. 
SCP-118 specimens which have harvested large 
amounts of uranium and are near assembly areas 
appear to develop specialized organelles resembling a 
series of thousands of vacuole-like chambers with 
mitochondria-like organelles within them, responsible for 
catalyzing reduction and oxidation reactions. In a given 
chamber, uranium is repeatedly reduced and oxidized. 
Compounds with uranium in higher oxidation states are 
transferred up the "chain" of chambers while compounds 
with lower oxidation states are transferred down the 
chain. This results in a small amount of highly enriched 
uranium at the very end of the chain. 


Researchers and engineers at Research Sector have 
managed to create a prototype uranium enrichment 
device based on the principles employed by SCP-118. 
While the prototype was unable to produce weapons- 
grade uranium without using unreasonable amounts of 
time, it was successful in producing reactor-grade 
uranium, albeit at significantly greater cost than 
conventional methods. Despite its current limitations, the 
idea shows promise and | have forwarded our findings to 
the relevant front companies.

SCP-119: Timecrowave 


Item #: SCP-119 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-119 is to remain open and 
unplugged at all times except during testing. The door to the room in 
which SCP-119 resides is to be locked for all periods except during 
experimentation, with the entry codes given only to authorized 
research and security personnel. An industrial-grade disinfectant will 
be available nearby at all times, and the inside of SCP-119 is to be 
heavily disinfected before any testing. The contents of SCP-119 are 
to be monitored through the viewing window on SCP-119 at all times 
during testing, and will be stopped immediately should the contents 
become hostile or otherwise damaging to SCP-119. 


Description: SCP-119 is a Panasonic [REDACTED] Microwave 
Oven. It was initially discovered by an agent, who had bought it from 
a liquidation sale of the assets from Valley Vineyards. It is 
believed that Valley Vineyards was using the anomalous 
properties of SCP-119 to rapidly age its products and create 
expensive vintages. Records show __ Valley Vineyards making 
under-the-table sales of vintages dated as far back as 19 , many 
years before the company's inception in 2005. These sales are what 
led to the lawsuits accusing the company of falsifying product 
information and other forms of fraud, which eventually caused 
Valley Vineyards to declare bankruptcy. SCP-119 appears to be a 
standard model of microwave in all respects except that the 
magnetron unit does not produce microwave radiation. Instead, the 
magnetron emits a previously unknown type of radiation that 
accelerates time. 


The amount of time accelerated is based on the time input given at 
the start, and the power level setting. The time input allows for three 
digits, and there are five power level settings. On power level 1, the 
number of seconds input equals the number of seconds experienced 


within the microwave. Therefore, an input of 30 seconds would 
cause the microwave to run for 30 seconds, at the end of which the 
object will have aged 30 seconds. Each subsequent power level 
past 1 causes an exponential increase of the acceleration of time. At 
power level 2 with an input of 30 seconds, the microwave will run for 
30 seconds and the contents will have aged 900 seconds (15 
minutes) or 30*30 seconds. At power level 5, with an input of 999 
seconds, the microwave will run for 999 seconds, and the contents 
will have aged 995,009,990 ,004,999 seconds (31,529,964 years). 


Experimentation with the other buttons on the microwave have not 
resulted in any anomalous properties, although they do still function 
as would be expected from a normal microwave. The "minute +" 
button, for example, adds 60 seconds, and the "defrost" function 
prompts the user to open the door and flip the contents periodically. 
Pressing the "minute +" button during operation, however, does not 
recalculate the adjusted time acceleration, merely causing the 
contents to age at the pre-calculated rate for another 60 seconds. 
(eg: Power Level 2 for 30 seconds would age for 900 seconds (15 
minutes), input of "minute +" would result in the microwave running 
for 90 seconds and aging the contents 2700 seconds (45 minutes), 
or 3(30*30), instead of aging the contents for 8100 seconds (135 
minutes), or 90*90). 


SCP-119 can be dismantled, and replacement parts can be 
substituted for every component except the magnetron. When 
placing the magnetron in any other microwave, including duplicates 
of the same model, the magnetron continues to exhibit time 
acceleration. However, replicating the effects of anything above 
power level 2 have failed in every model except the original 
microwave in which the magnetron was found. 


Although SCP-119, like all standard microwave models, will normally 
only function when the door is closed, during deconstruction it was 
determined that disabling the closing mechanism allows the device 
to work while open. Subsequent testing determined that the 
radiation emitted from SCP-119 has a fallout pattern very similar to 
the microwave radiation it replaced. However, further experiments 
operating SCP-119 while open now require the approval of a 
Clearance Level 4 personnel. 


Addendum: After subsequent testing, it has been determined that 
the accelerated time experienced within SCP-119 is not accelerated 
from the perspective of those being affected, instead causing the 
occupants to perceive that they are simply staying inside of the 
microwave for the adjusted duration. Should living creatures be 
exposed to SCP-119 for extended durations, they could quite quickly 
die of starvation, as they will require as much sleep and food as they 
would outside of SCP-119. Therefore, further experimentation with 
living beings now requires the approval of a Clearance Level 4 
personnel. 


Furthermore, due to the possibility of micro-organisms undergoing 
accelerated evolution within SCP-119, industrial-grade disinfectant 
has now been added to the containment procedure for SCP-119.

TEST RESULTS: 


TEST LOG SCP-119 


CONTENTS: Cup of lukewarm coffee 

TIME INPUT: 60 seconds 

POWER LEVEL: 1 

TEST RESULTS: Agent attempted to reheat his coffee. 
Microwave activated and ran for 1 minute; coffee was 
still cool upon removal. 


CONTENTS: Cup of lukewarm coffee 

TIME INPUT: 60 seconds 

POWER LEVEL: 4 

TEST RESULTS: Agent increased power level, 
assuming the first setting was too weak. Microwave 
activated and ran for 1 minute. Upon opening the door, 
agent discovered his coffee had grown a thick layer of 
mold and scum, consistent with the amount that would 
be expected from leaving a cup of coffee out for 5 
months. At this point, the agent brought the microwave to 
the attention of the Foundation. 


CONTENTS: Stopwatch 

TIME INPUT: 30 seconds 

POWER LEVEL: 1, 2, 3, 4,5 

TEST RESULTS: Series of tests conducted to determine 
effects of various power levels on time fluctuation. 
Resulting time on stopwatch was :30, 15:00, 7:30:00, 
and 99:99:99. There was no result for the last test, as the 
battery had died. Subsequent test using a more powerful 


stopwatch with a larger display resulted in 9 days 9 
hours and 281 days 6 hours for the last two settings. 


CONTENTS: Rattus Norvegicus (common lab rat) 
TIME INPUT: 60 

POWER LEVEL: 4 

TEST RESULTS: Testing had expected the subject to 
age five months. Upon starting the timer, subject became 
a blur, barely visible in its rapid movement around the 
container. At :03, subject ceased all movement. At :05, 
subject began rotting rapidly. Testing was halted at :10, 
and SCP-119 is cleaned of excrement and remains of 
subject. Cause of death was determined to be 
dehydration. 


CONTENTS: Rattus Norvegicus (common lab rat), small 
cage with lining, external automatic food/water dispenser 
filled with 5 months of food/water attached to tubes 
routed through air vent. 

TIME INPUT: 60 

POWER LEVEL: 4 

TEST RESULTS: Upon starting the timer, subject 
became a blur, rapidly moving throughout its cage. Both 
the food and water supplies drained from their containers 
rapidly. At 60 seconds, subject was found to be dirty due 
to its uncleaned cage, but otherwise fine. SCP-119 
cleaned. Examination revealed subject to be in poor 
health due to its living conditions in the uncleaned cage, 
but with no abnormalities. 


CONTENTS: 1L of water in a shallow glass bowl. 
Temperature in room containing SCP-119 lowered to 
AeG: 

TIME INPUT: 600 

POWER LEVEL: 5 

TEST RESULTS: Time inside SCP-119 intended to be 
approximately 24.7 years, with an initial input of 60 
seconds. Test intended to determine the difference of 
atmosphere and heat transfer between the inside and 
outside of SCP-119, as demonstrated by the evaporation 


of water at near-freezing temperatures. The research 
assistant entering the time added an extra zero, which 
would bring the total time up to 2,465,753 years, or over 
four thousand years a second. Upon pressing START, 
an immense amount of air began to cycle through the 
vent. The assistant immediately recognized his mistake 
and opened the door to stop the timer, at which point a 
wave of bluish spores emitted from SCP-119 and onto 
the assistant. The assistant began to choke and quickly 
asphyxiated. Subsequent testing on atmospheric 
conditions revealed low oxygen and high carbon dioxide 
levels, as well as elevated levels of sulfur. The spores 
were found to be an unknown Xerophillic species of 
mold. Within SCP-119 was a dense ecosystem of molds 
and tardigrades (water bears), along with numerous 
other unknown species, some of which do not neatly fit 
within existing categories. The entire ecosystem has 
created a balanced atmosphere, and seems to have 
stemmed from the original contents of the water, air, and 
the assistant. 


In light of this test, containment procedures have been 
updated to include industrial disinfectant. 


CONTENTS: None. Door is removed from microwave for 
duration of this experiment. SCP-119 placed in the 
middle of a large Faraday cage room with freshly painted 
floor, using paint that changes color as it dries. 

TIME INPUT: 30 

POWER LEVEL: 3 

TEST RESULTS: SCP-119 remotely activated, and all 
testing observed remotely. Resultant paint pattern 
demonstrated the falloff of radiation from the microwave. 
The paint closest to the front of the door demonstrating 8 
hours of drying, and the furthest section of the floor 
behind the microwave demonstrated closer to 2 hours of 
drying. 


CONTENTS: None. Door is removed from microwave for 
duration of this experiment. SCP-119 is placed in the 


middle of a large Faraday cage room with dried paint. 
Lightweight floating debris and dust is released into the 
room through a vent. 

TIME INPUT: 30 

POWER LEVEL: 3 

TEST RESULTS: SCP-119 is remotely activated, and all 
testing observed remotely. A pattern of complex air 
currents reflecting the pattern left by the paint emerges 
as individual particles float between stronger and weaker 
radiation. The radiation did not actually apply any force 
to the particles, but rather affected their momentum in 
relation to each other, eventually evolving into a 
detectable air current pattern. 


CONTENTS: SCP-442 

TIME INPUT: 90 

POWER LEVEL: 5 

TEST RESULTS: SCP-442 continued to keep the 
correct time during the entire duration, showing 1 minute 
and 30 seconds of time passing over the course of the 
experiment. 


CONTENTS: SCP-289 

TIME INPUT: 90 

POWER LEVEL: 5 

TEST RESULTS: None. Permission to carry out 
experiment denied. 


Not funny. Do we really need to explain why that is a bad 
idea? You already know exactly what that would do. -O5- 


CONTENTS: Bottle of Macallan 12-year Scotch 

TIME INPUT: 60 

POWER LEVEL: 5 

TEST RESULTS: During previous tests, researchers had 
been joking that they should "nuke" themselves a drink, 
and one researcher retrieved a bottle of Macallan from 
his quarters. The 12-year vintage is relatively 
inexpensive to obtain, but the 25- and 30-year vintages 
are considered by some to be the best of all scotch 


commercially available. Upon completion of test, bottle 
was effectively a 37-year vintage. Intention of test had 
been to consume during subsequent tests, but at this 
point the intent had been heard by a superior, who 
allowed the researchers to keep the bottle as long as 
they waited until off duty to consume it. 


Subsequent testing determined that the results of this 
experiment were delicious. - Dr. Grant 


It would seem Dr. Grant is a rather poor whiskey 
connoisseur, as whiskey does not age outside of the 
barrel. Your delicious experiment resulted in a 37-year 
old bottle of 12-year aged scotch. Well done. - Dr. Derel 


| stand by my initial assessment. Delicious. - Dr. Grant 


SCP-120: Teleporting Paddling Pool 


Item #: SCP-120 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to its importance to the 
Foundation, SCP-120 is to be kept under video surveillance and 
armed guard at all times. Any personnel attempting to utilize the 
item without authorisation are to be terminated immediately. All 
personnel wishing to use the item are required to submit a filled 
copy of the application form (Document #120-23) to facility 
operators. 


Due to the precise timing and coordination required for efficient use 
of this object in an emergency, all personnel entering SCP-120’s 
building are placed under temporary command of the facility heads 
Captain (Security Detachment) (L4) and Doctor 

(Research Team) (L4). 


All destination locations are to be kept under surveillance and armed 
guard. They are valuable to the Foundation but are non-critical, but 
any compromised destination must be immediately reported to 
SCP-120 personnel. 


Distributed Task Force Sigma-6 (“Puddlejumpers”) was created with 
the objective of protecting and maintaining SCP-120’s facility and 
location outposts. It consists of 1 command unit and 1 defense and 
maintenance unit based at the SCP-120 facility at Command- ;5 
units based at the destination locations, plus 5 reserve units for 
these; and 5 units assigned to other SCP-120 related projects. 


Description: SCP-120 appears to be a small child’s paddling pool, 
pastel pink in colouration, with an inner diameter of approximately 
2.5 metres and inner height of 0.3 metres. The pool appears to have 
been fabricated from common Earth plastics but has shown itself to 
be indestructible by any attempted means (see research report 


#1 20-32 for a full summary). The pool’s structure and response to 
pressure are typical for such a pool (it will flex when pressure is 
applied and is soft to the touch) but has amazing tensile strength 
and cannot be permanently stretched or ripped. 


What is contained within the pool seems to be a brightly glowing, 
coloured, liquid-like substance, which seems to exist only partially in 
our dimension. It is unresponsive to manipulation by organic or 
inorganic means, but the substance ripples and shimmers 
systematically and regularly, suggesting it exists physically on 
another dimension. 


SCP-120’s most interesting and useful property is used regularly by 
Foundation personnel. Human beings, when alive and carrying 
loads (including clothing) under 37.8 kilograms, are observed to fall 
through the pool, and are deposited at one of 11 destinations. These 
will be detailed in an addendum. 


The item will only function in this way if certain conditions are met: 
the subject must be genetically human; the subject must be 
conscious; the subject must be carrying weights of under the 
specified amount; and only one subject must be present on the 
surface. Test subjects attempting to use SCP-120 while these 
conditions were not met reported their feet making contact with a 
smooth surface underneath the liquid but no significant effects were 
observed. 


SCP-120’s main use is as a potential means of evacuation for 
Command- during a major emergency. It is currently stored and 
maintained in a fortified outbuilding of this facility. To inspect 
evacuation procedures, refer to document #120-22. 


SCP-120 was first brought to the attention of Foundation authorities 
on 31/08/1992. Local police authorities in —_, California, were 
investigating reports of missing children in their jurisdiction, and 
discovered and reported the item on 31/08. Overwatch Command 
was automatically informed through the usual channels, and a small 
team of Foundation agents was dispatched to claim and transport 
the item to Site-19, where it remained for testing over the next 2 
years. 


It was transferred to its present location at Command-_ in 1994.

Document #120-10: Detailed explanation of SCP-120’s 
capabilities and destinations — 12/02/1994 [Abridged version] 


SCP-120 possesses the capability of instant translocation of human 
beings, possibly through one or more alternate dimensions. Subjects 
using the item are invariably deposited at one of 11 locations. These 
locations cycle in a specific and unchanging pattern. The 11 
destinations and their locations were determined through testing 
with Class-D personnel carrying radio beacons. They are detailed 
here: 


Location 1: Pacific Ocean: SCP-120’s liquid displays a blue glow 
while connected to this destination. 


Subjects attempting travel to this destination are deposited an 
average of 2 metres above the surface of the Pacific at latitude 

°S, longitude °W. A Foundation ship (SCPS Demeter — 
publicly the USS Nassau, a meteorological ship) is currently 
stationed at this location and personnel arriving through use of 
SCP-120 materialize inside the ship’s cargo hold. 


Sensitive Foundation material or personnel can be sent here in an 
emergency, and the ship has provisions for storage of low-threat 
SCP objects, should the need arise. Class-D personnel used to 
“dial” SCP-120 can be confined and extracted by helicopter or 
reused, or simply terminated and their bodies retained in storage. 


The original Class D and radio transmitter used to determine this 
location were lost at sea, and might have to be recovered in the 
interest of secrecy, if they were to wash up on populated shores. 


This configuration of SCP-120 was arbitrarily designated as #1, and 
has no observable significance above other configurations. 
Destinations 2 through 11 follow in sequential order after this 
configuration, and return to it after a full cycle. 


Travel by SCP-120 to this location is not advisable during storms 
due to risk of injury. 


Location 2: Greenland: SCP-120 displays a bright white glow while 
dialed to this destination. 


Subjects travelling to this destination materialize 1.5 metres above 
the surface of Greenland, at latitude °N and longitude 

°W. A small facility was established here, under the public pretense 
of oil industry expansion. This facility has similar capabilities and use 
to the Demeter, and is additionally equipped with an airstrip and 
refueling facilities. 


Location 3: L3: Located at the Earth-Moon Lagrange Point 3. The 
SCP displays a deep black colour. 


Objects and personnel sent through the SCP to any Lagrange point 
(locations 3, 5, 8, 10, and 11) are effectively lost, as retrieval is 
impossible at our current level of technology. They may prove a 
possible way to remove small but threatening SCP objects, but for 
now, are merely an inconvenience, as sacrifice of D-personnel is 
required to move the SCP to its next configuration. 


Location 4: Himalayas: SCP-120 displays a white glow similar to 
when it is dialed to Location 2. 


Materialization occurs at latitude °N, longitude °E,ona 
mountain in the Himalayan mountain range. Only minor changes 
have been made to the destination: the digging of an 8-metre hole 
for disposal of D-class bodies, an overhead canopy for concealment, 
and supplies and tenting for evacuation to this location (which 
should only take place in extreme circumstances). 


D-class personnel used for dialing are to be injected with a mixture 
of sedatives and neurotoxin before sending, to ensure a humane 
death and decrease risk of damage to the structures at Location 4. 


Location 5: L5: Identical to Location 3. 
Location 6: Sahara: SCP-120 will glow yellow. 


Personnel materialize at latitude °N, longitude °Eina 
small outpost. The need for secrecy renders this facility unable to 
house any significant SCP object, but is ideal for evacuation of 
personnel and documents from Command. 


Location 7: Gobi: SCP-120 displays a brown glow. 


This destination is located at a small outpost in the Gobi desert, 
latitude °N, longitude °E, but is otherwise identical to the 
location 6 outpost. 


Location 8: L2: Identical to Location 3, although shows more 
potential for SCP disposal, being situated beyond the moon. 


Location 9: Mare Imbrium: The SCP displays a subdued grey glow 
when dialed in to this destination. 


This destination is on a relatively flat section of the Sea of Rains on 
the lunar surface. Through vast expenditure of money and D-class 
personnel, a small outpost has been established there, and is 
considered one of the Foundation’s safest locations. 


Location 10: L4: Identical to Location 3. 
Location 11: L1: Identical to Location 3.

SCP-121: Concrete Cradle 


Item #: SCP-121 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Containment Site-83 has been 
established outside SCP-121 to house personnel dedicated to the 
containment of SCP-121. The perimeter of SCP-121 is to remain 
fenced off from the surrounding area, with guards stationed along 
the perimeter at all times. Guards are to don local military uniforms 
and remain heavily armed at all times. Rotation of guards is to occur 
every four hours. 


The surrounding population is to remain informed that SCP-121 is 
quarantined due to persisting hazardous material. Warning signs are 
to be placed seventy-five (75), fifty (50), and twenty-five (25) 
kilometers out along roads leading to SCP-121 to deter trespassers. 
Civilians who approach the perimeter of SCP-121 are to be 
reminded of the quarantine and forced to depart; those who resist 
are to be detained for questioning. 


In the event that approaching civilians witness an active instance of 
SCP-121-1 or -2, Class-A amnestics are to be administered. Any 
meteorological data regarding SCP-121's anomalous effect is to be 
censored, and SCP-121 has been labeled a no-flight zone to 
prevent knowledge of SCP-121, -1, and -2. 


Site Task Force lota-71 ("Home Wreckers") has been established 
and permanently assigned to Containment Site-83 in response to 
the threat of SCP-121-2. They are to escort researchers interested 
in studying non-hostile instances of SCP-121-2 as well as neutralize 
any instances that have grown to potentially lethal sizes. In the 
event of an attempted containment breach, lota-71 is to assist 
perimeter guards in the neutralization of the instance of SCP-121-2. 


Any buildings within SCP-121 that develop into SCP-121-1 are to be 


recorded and monitored at all times for transition into SCP-121-2. 
Instances of SCP-121-2 that become innately hostile upon transition 
are to be neutralized; however, passive instances may continue to 
dwell within the perimeter of SCP-121 for research purposes until 
they've grown to a size too dangerous to contain or become hostile, 
at which point they are to be neutralized. 


Description: SCP-121 is the region of land occupied by the former 
town of , Colorado. The town was home to roughly 6,800 prior 
to enactment of current containment protocol, and holds roughly 
3,000 buildings, both residential and commercial. Clouds above 
SCP-121 appear incapable of entering an area roughly twelve (12) 
kilometers in diameter, instead passing around the area; it is 
speculated this is related to SCP-121's range of effect, but it is not 
known how at this time. Buildings in SCP-121 will sporadically! 
detach from any foundations and ascend into the air. At this point, 
these buildings are identified as SCP-121-1. 


Instances of SCP-121-1 ascend to a random height of a minimum of 
forty-five (45) meters. Regardless of the previous state of the 
building, doors and windows become locked and any potential entry 
ways become barricaded by furniture inside. Forced entry has 
shown an increased ambient temperature of roughly 35°C anda 
relative humidity of roughly 65%, but a lack of any further anomalous 
properties. Instances of SCP-121-1 will cease suspension after a 
minimum period of ten weeks, but may remain airborne for no more 
than fifteen weeks afterwards. Instances do not show any abnormal 
levels of durability, and near-total destruction of SCP-121-1 upon 
impact with the ground is common. After impact, the remains of 
instances of SCP-121-1 will contain an ovoid object approximately 
1.2m x 1.2m x 2m composed of materials consistent with furniture 
found inside the home.2 The object will begin to locomote on its own 
accord; at this point, it will be referred to as SCP-121-2. 


SCP-121-2 begin to form a conglomerate with nearby materials, 
including debris from SCP-121-1, flora, automobiles, and (on rare 
occasion) other buildings. SCP-121-2 will continue to attract objects 
until it forms a body of material nine (9) meters in height, at which 
point the body will animate and appear to take on levels of 
sentience. SCP-121-2 may, at this point, begin to simulate ingesting 


other material, to continue growing at a considerably slower rate. 
Ingestion appears to be for the sole purpose of continued growth, as 
instances have gone prolonged periods of time without material. 
Certain items have been known to attach to SCP-121-2 
instantaneously, despite size and the lack of simulated ingestion. 


Instances of SCP-121-2 normally resemble animals capable of 
locomotion on land, but have been known to take on humanoid 
forms and forms that do not resemble any known animal. They are 
primarily docile, and normally do not display hostility towards 
personnel unless provoked. However, SCP-121-2 instances have 
been known to form with innate aggressive and territorial behavior; 
this behavior has also been observed to develop following the 
accumulation of certain items, including firearms, bladed weapons, 
and in one example, the taxidermy head of a bear. 


SCP-121 came to the attention of the Foundation when local 
authorities were flooded with reports of a previously abandoned 
residence suddenly "flying in the sky". The town was evacuated 
under the guise of a hazardous material spill and the residence was 
observed. Once the instance of SCP-121-1 transitioned into 
SCP-121-2, SCP-121-2 was quickly neutralized. Following the 
neutralization, another instance of SCP-121-1 developed’, and the 
town was permanently evacuated and contained. 


Incident 121-A: On 11/04/98, a sound described as a "muffled 
siren" was heard for approximately five (5) minutes. An active 
instance of SCP-121-1 was suddenly subject to an immense force 
following the sound, causing the building to prematurely break apart 
while suspended before the ten week minimum. Neighboring towns 
reported hearing the sound; local press were informed quarantine 
staff were being evacuated due to a temporary elevation in toxic 
levels. The cause of the sound is currently unknown; further 
research is recommended. 


Three weeks following the sound and the destruction of SCP-121-1, 
the remains finally fell to the ground. Inside the rubble were 
remnants of the ovoid object found in SCP-121-2, along with traces 
of aluminum slag. 


Incident 121-B: On 05/09/12, a 1991 Dodge Caravan was found 


suspended fifty-three (53) meters in the air. Internal surveillance is 
at this time impossible, due to the windows being obscured by what 
appears to be wool cloth. Further observation of the vehicle is 
recommended. 


Footnotes 

1. No more than one at a time, with three weeks minimum between 
manifestation. 

2. Examination of mostly intact instances of SCP-121-1 show an 
absence of previous furnishings. 

3. This is the only occasion on which the creation of SCP-121-1 has 
so closely followed the creation of an instance of SCP-121-2

SCP-122: No More Monsters 


Item #: SCP-122 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-122 is to be stored ina 
standard containment chamber, containing a single electrical outlet. 
No personnel dormitories are to be constructed within 500 m of the 
containment area. At no time should SCP-122 enter an unopowered 
state. Several redundant power systems are to be maintained and 
inspected regularly. In the event of SCP-122-1 manifestation, 35 
members of site personnel assigned to enact containment are to be 
deployed outside the containment chamber. If it becomes hostile, 
Procedure-99-Renmar is to be enacted. Due to the potentially 
disastrous side effects in the event of cross contamination, at no 
point are SCP-122 and instances of SCP-3060 to be stored at the 
same facility. 


To enact Procedure-99-Renmar, all subjects are to assume specific 
positions in and around the containment chamber, in order to 
prevent a containment breach. Two subjects are to man a portable 
generator with which the equipment used in Procedure-99-Renmar 
is powered. Three subjects are to be equipped with chemical 
irritants created as a by-product of SCP-1837, which has been found 
to have a inhibitory effect on SCP-122-1 instances. 


After all instances of SCP-122-1 have been reduced to the point 
where entry is safe, five subjects are to enter the containment 
chamber, and use an electrical extension cord from the generator to 
return SCP-122 to a powered state. These personnel are to be 
considered irrecoverable after entering SCP-122's containment 
chamber, due to its effect. 


The remaining personnel are redundant; they will take the place of 
any incapacitated personnel. 


Description: SCP-122 is a children’s nightlight in the design of a 
stylized shooting star. When it is in a powered state, SCP-122 lets 
off between 14-20 Ix. No manufacturers mark is present on or within 
SCP-122's components. 


When in an unpowered state, SCP-122 will affect all subjects within 
a 500 m radius of its location. When the subjects enter REM sleep, 
they will move into a comatose state in which they will remain until 
SCP-122 is resupplied with power. While comatose, humanoid 
figures appearing to be composed of a black, slightly translucent 
mass will appear from any shadows around the subject. These 
figures are hereafter known as instances of SCP-122-1. 


Instances of SCP-122-1 exhibit signs of sapience and sentience, 
with physical abilities roughly equivalent to the affected subjects. 
They will attempt to locate as many human subjects as possible, 
and expose them to SCP-122's effect. As more subjects are affected 
by SCP-122, its radius of effect will expand, with the maximum 
range seen in testing being over 2.7 kilometers. The SCP-122-1 
instances will attempt to gather all sleep aids within the area of 
effect and apply them to the subjects. These objects have included: 


¢ Insomnia medication 

¢ Traditional medicines known to be used as treatment with 
insomniacs 

* Pillows, blankets, mattresses and bed frames 

¢ Media such as lullabies. 


When in a powered state, SCP-122 will affect the sleep patterns of 
all subjects within its radius. If a subject awakens from a state of 
REM sleep while within SCP-122's radius, they will display signs of 
insomnia, and will complain of unusual dreams!. These dreams 
have been found to cause minor psychological disturbances, and all 
personnel should be given weekly psychological evaluations. See 
Incident 122-1. 


SCP-122 was discovered within the Linnell Children’s Hospital on / 
/ , after several reports of SCP-122-1 manifestations reached 
locally embedded agents. When the area was investigated, it was 
found that all subjects within the building had been affected by 
SCP-122. Recovered documents indicate that a patient brought 


SCP-122 when being admitted. However, no record of the patient's 
identity has been found. Agents secured SCP-122 with a portable 
power source, and it was transported to Site-19. 


Addendum 122-B: SCP-122 reclassified to Keter following Incident 
122-1. Moved to Armed Reliquary Containment Area-02. 


Incident 122-1: On / / , 11 instances of SCP-122-1 breached 
containment, causing the death of over members of site personnel 
and _ casualties. Following re-containment operations, SCP-122's 
containment procedures were put under review. During this review, 
security footage of several maintenance personnel tampering with 
SCP-122's chamber-lock was discovered. When questioned, the 
subjects claimed that they had done so under duress, saying that a 
"canary" was not allowing them to sleep until they released 
SCP-122. Affected subjects were given Class-A amnestics, and 
containment procedures were revised. Upgrade to Keter requested.

1. Proposals to determineSCP-2840's effects on these dreams are 
currently pending approval.

SCP-123: Contained Miniature Black Hole 


Item #: SCP-123 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-123 is to be held ina 
secured facility and is to be securely fastened to the top of a sturdy 
table by use of straps, chains, a net, or similar device. Absolutely no 
hooks shall be fastened to the device. The object and table should 
be centrally located in a room no smaller than 5 mx5mx5m. No 
sensitive measuring devices should be used within 100 meters of 
SCP-123, as their measurements will be noticeably affected. More 
significantly, absolutely no objects should be inserted into SCP-123 
except under experimental conditions. 


Transfer of SCP-123 shall be made with care, and effort made to 
prevent the object from being shaken or jerked with notable force. 
SCP-123 shall not, under any circumstances, be transported over 
large bodies of water by any method. 


No personnel below Level 2 must be allowed in the containment 
chamber with SCP-123. Any person interacting with the object 
should wear tight-fitting clothing that has absolutely no straps, laces, 
or other dangling components. Persons with long hair shall be 
required to tie their hair back or wear a hairnet. 


Description: Object is a gray geodesic sphere 65 cm in diameter 
consisting of sixty triangles. The areas between these triangles are 
empty, allowing the center of the sphere to be seen. The material 
the sphere is composed of is unknown, and upon the 
recommendation of Dr. __, research into the material composition 
shall be limited to visual observation until further notice. SCP-123 
appears to weigh about 3.62 kg, though its actual mass is believed 
to be much higher. 


The geodesic sphere is hollow, save for the very center. At the 


center of SCP-123 is what appears to be a black sphere, 
approximately 1 mm in diameter. No light can be seen being 
reflected off or emitted from the black sphere. The core also appears 
to exhibit significant gravitational force, which massively increases 
within the confines of the outer geodesic sphere. This gravitational 
force can be measured using sensitive instruments several dozen 
meters away. Within approximately three meters, the gravitational 
pull is apparent to any observer, with dangling objects beginning to 
be pulled towards the sphere. At the surface of the outer sphere, the 
gravitational pull doubles the weight of any object placed onto the 
structure. 


The inner sphere’s qualities are apparent when any small object is 
inserted within the outer sphere. Any such object quickly accelerates 
into the object and disappears. Any liquid poured into the object also 
is sucked into the central sohere. Analysis has shown that light that 
nears the black sphere is curved towards the center. The amount of 
gravity exhibited by the inner sphere at its surface suggests that its 
mass is approximately 1029 kg, though the obvious gravity reducing 
effect within the outer sohere means that its actual mass may 
actually far exceed even that. Note that such a mass would 
ordinarily imply a Schwarzschild radius in the order of 200 meters, 
way in excess of the approximate 0.5 mm actually observed, which 
can be considered further testament to the outer sphere's gravity 
dampening qualities. 


Gases are affected by the gravity of SCP-123, and the atmosphere 
pressure at its surface has been measured at 205 kPa. However, 
gases are unable to penetrate the area between the triangles of the 
outer geodesic sphere. The reason for this is currently unknown, 
and is currently being studied. 


It should be noted that the outer sphere and inner sphere appear to 
act as one — whenever the outer sphere is moved, the inner sphere 
follows. Further research is suggested into the nature of this 
relationship. 


Addendum [SCP-123a]: SCP-123 has been suggested as a 
disposal unit. The researcher currently in charge of SCP-123, Dr 

, is concerned about the structural integrity of the geodesic 
sphere. All requests for disposal must go through Dr __, or request 


a formal hearing with Level 4 personnel. Until further notice, all 
interaction with SCP-123 is to be restricted to experimentation. 
Command personnel agree that further research is needed to 
understand the durability of the outer sphere.

SCP-124: Fertile Soil 


Item #: SCP-124 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-124 is to be kept ina 

4.2 mx 2.1 mstone pit in its containment cell. The pit is 1.5 metres 
deep. A plastic tarp is to be placed over SCP-124 when not in use. 
Absolutely no biological matter is allowed within one metre of 
SCP-124 when not being studied. An armed guard is to be stationed 
outside SCP-124's cell at all times. 


Description: SCP-124 is a plot of soil approximately 9 m2 in area 
and 14 m3 in size. It was recovered from a Detroit basement when 
authorities were notified of two teenagers growing large amounts of 
marijuana. 


SCP-124 has the ability to grow any biological organism to its full 
potential in a relatively short amount of time (the length varies 
according to the complexity of the organism). Nothing growing in 
SCP-124 requires external nutrients or other resources (for 
example, a tomato plant would not require water or light). Pesticides, 
too, aren't needed, as SCP-124 has a repellent effect on any insect 
or other invertebrates not growing in it. Any food grown in SCP-124 
is reported to be of very high quality, taste, and nutrition, no matter 
what state the food was in before being planted in SCP-124. 


Document 124-1: List of items grown in SCP-124 


The following is a selective list of objects grown in 
SCP-124 during experiments. 


Input - Product of SCP-124 


Tomato Seed - Fully grown tomato plant. All tomatoes 
(12 on each plant) were ripe and juicy. Reported to be 


"Very tasty". 


Small Watermelon (0.8 kg) - 11.1 kg (24.5 Ib) 
watermelon. Reported to be "very sweet and tasty”. 


Grass Seed (1) - SCP-124 quickly sprouted into a lush, 
green lawn within a matter of seconds. Slight dew on the 
grass. 


Small, overgrown hedge - A hedge, trimmed and shaped 
like a dolphin. 


Small, overgrown hedge - A hedge, trimmed and shaped 
like a skull.

SCP-125: Contagious Reflection 


Item #: SCP-125 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Supports for instances of 
SCP-125 are kept in padded boxes and covered with a fine nylon 
mesh that allows vision through, but obscures the surface of the 
mirror by at least 25%. These supports consist of a polished metallic 
surface (currently silver-plated brass) with no sharp or irregular 
edges, which must imperatively be smoothed out to prevent rips in 
the protective mesh. To further prevent incidents, any person 
penetrating the room where SCP-125 is located must also wear 
such a protective mesh over their face. Metal-plated glass mirrors 
should be avoided for the purpose of containment as SCP-125 is 
capable of moving from the glass itself to the metal surface. 


Any metallic surface in the room must be dulled to prevent 
reflections. As an additional security measure, the room is kept in 
darkness and monitored only via infrared and ultraviolet lighting 
when no experiment is taking place. 


No mirror or comparably reflective surface (including, but not limited 
to, metal-case pens, sunglasses, laptop computers, and glass 
objects) may be allowed in the room outside controlled experiments. 
The SCP may not be photographed or filmed in its unrestrained 
state. 


If any personnel on site, and particularly personnel having recently 
been involved with SCP-125, reports seeing black dots, MTF Eta-10 
and Chi-7 will be immediately put on standby and a level-2 alert for 
potential containment breach will be declared. Individuals 
contaminated will undergo containment protocol 125-b and may not 
return to active duty until the instance of SCP-125 affecting their 
cornea has been rendered completely inert. 


Description: SCP-125 is an apparently sentient "being" that can 
only exist within reflections. 


At rest and viewed up front, it takes the form of a black circle 
17.2mm in diameter resting on the reflective surface. Its first 
anomalous characteristic is that it appears as a perfect circle to any 
observer regardless of the surface's angles, bends, and the location 
of the viewer or viewers. In that regard it acts more as if it were a 
sphere in contact with the surface, but lacking any shadow or 
highlight, and this even where an obstacle, such as containment 
mesh, makes it clear SCP-125 does not extend beyond the surface 
it has "imprinted" to. 


SCP-125 does not reflect visible light or infrared. When observed in 
ultraviolet, however, [DATA EXPUNGED] up to and including [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. For unclear reasons, it also emits a minute but 
measurable and constant amount of X-rays. 


SCP-125 is capable of movement across the surface it currently 
exists on. This movement may only occur across a surface 
uninterrupted by either an angle (the surface must follow a 
reasonably continuous curve) or a non-reflective area. SCP-125 has 
demonstrated incapability to cross scratches and frosted or etched 
areas of a surface. In many instances, however, SCP-125 will 
circumvent these limits by jumping to a reflection to round a corner, 
or between the separate outer glass and silver surfaces of a metal- 
glass mirror (hence the preference for opaque metallic surfaces for 
containment purposes). Although capable of moving anywhere 
along the surface, SCP-125 generally remains immobile in a location 
near its edges if any, and if on a surface that has a specific, 
immobile orientation, will usually remain in the lower right corner or 
its equivalent, even if the item is later moved. 


Any reflective surface capable of displaying a reasonably accurate 
reflection of SCP-125 can host it. So far this has included a wide 
ranges of mirror-quality surfaces, glasses, polished or varnished 
surfaces (such as stone and wood), glossy plastic and even 
undisturbed pools of liquid or polished nails. When reflected by 
another surface, SCP-125 is capable of instantly "transferring" to it. 
However, SCP-125 cannot "survive" on, or transfer to or away from, 
a surface smaller than its own area ( approx. 2.32 cm?). Should it be 


constrained to one, it will rapidly become translucent and disappear 
completely. 


The entity has demonstrated a certain level of sentience and even 
sapience. Despite lacking physical existence, it appears "unwilling" 
to be "touched" directly or otherwise hidden from sight. It will also 
resist to the best of its abilities any attempt at reducing its freedom 
of movement either by "jumping" to another surface or moving 
across its current one very fast. It will also "flee" from perceived 
threats, even complex ones expressed by speech, demonstrating an 
understanding of human communication. How it is capable of this 
and whether it can or wishes to communicate back is currently 
unknown. 


In its normal state, SCP-125 is completely harmless and incapable 
of multiplying. It is, however, perfectly capable of moving to a living 
reflective surface, specifically that of a living animal's cornea. It will, 
in fact, do everything in its power to do so, indicative of a natural 
"desire". Once it has achieved this, SCP-125 diminishes in size by a 
factor of 10 to 1.72 mm in diameter. While existing on the surface of 
a living tissue, SCP-125 becomes capable of multiplying and 
infecting a potentially unlimited number of surfaces, as opposed to 
merely moving between them. This multiplication occurs within the 
cornea, rapidly causing the victim to complain of "seeing dots." 


Past this stage, the SCP-125 infestation will rapidly (within five to 
nine days of initial infection) crowd out the entire tissue, causing the 
eye to go blind, after which stage the cells of the eye and optic nerve 
appear to undergo mass apoptosis, causing a non-infectious 
abscess. Why this occurs has yet to be elucidated. Only after the 
apoptotic stage has run its course does SCP-125 cease being 
contagious. No treatment for SCP-125 infestation is known to be 
efficient beyond keeping the affected eye(s) tightly covered to 
prevent further spread and administration of heavy antibiotics to 
reduce risk of infection. 


Outbreaks continue to occur on an irregular basis, suggesting that 
SCP-125 is either a naturally occurring phenomenon or that it was 
spread over much of the planet at some point prior to the beginning 
of written history. 


For a list of known past outbreaks of SCP-125, see Document 
SCP-125-Delta.

SCP-126: Invisible Friend 


Item #: SCP-126 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-126 is kept within a 
standard Euclid-class Humanoid Containment Cell despite not 
having needs consistent with that of a normal human or any kind of 
nourishment as this environment has proven the most effective in 
keeping SCP-126 contained. 


In case of a containment breach, acoustic sensors embedded within 
SCP-126's containment cell as well as the entire wing in which 
SCP-126's cell is housed can be used to locate SCP-126. Firm but 
polite verbal requests for SCP-126 to return to its cell are to be given 
until it complies. 


Personnel interacting with SCP-126 must undergo regular 
psychiatric screening and personnel exhibiting emotional attachment 
to SCP-126 must be administered a Class B amnestic and 
reassigned. 


Description: SCP-126 is an invisible and intangible entity that can 
only be identified via sound. SCP-126 is sentient, with the ability to 
speak in multiple languages in a female voice and engage in 
conversation with any subject within range. To date, no method by 
which SCP-126 can be visually detected has been devised as 
SCP-126 does not appear to emit any kind of light, radiation, heat or 
electromagnetic energy. SCP-126 does appear to occupy an area, 
as evidenced by the ability to triangulate its suggested location via 
its voice. SCP-126 also emits sound when moving consistent with 
footsteps made by a human subject wearing high heels with a mass 
of approximately 55 to 60 kg, though no depressions can be seen in 
any floor materials and pressure sensors do not register any kind of 
presence. SCP-126 cannot pass through barriers that would prevent 
a normal human subject from passing (such as a closed door), but 


solid objects can be pushed through the space it occupies without 
any effect. For unknown reasons, SCP-126 will comply with any 
request for it to follow a specific human subject or move to a specific 
location without question, though it may move away afterwards or if 
it is not able to "physically" comply with the request. 


SCP-126 will engage in conversation with any personnel within its 
containment cell, preferring topics such as art, nature and 
philosophy. SCP-126 exhibits knowledge of current topics and 
intelligence consistent with that of a college graduate as well as 
moderate attention-deficit disorder; SCP-126 will regularly change 
language without reason and stray off-topic while conversing without 
warning. Attempts to question SCP-126 about its origin or nature 
have been unsuccessful as SCP-126 becomes confused when 
presented with such questions and will quickly stray away from the 
topic. Despite not appearing to use or need any furniture or 
appliances, SCP-126 will request such items as a bed, dresser, 
mirror and other sundries if not present and is more likely to stay 
within a room if such items are available. 


A small number of personnel exhibit anomalous behavior after 
engaging in conversation with SCP-126, including but not limited to 
believing that they have known SCP-126 for many years and that 
SCP-126 is a close friend or loved one. If not treated, these subjects 
will begin to ignore basic needs in order to continue conversing with 
SCP-126, eventually dying from dehydration or starvation. 


SCP-126 was discovered in a suburban home in [REDACTED] after 
several reports of the house being haunted. A Foundation 
containment team was able to quickly locate SCP-126 and, after 
conversing for several minutes, convince SCP-126 to enter a mobile 
containment unit which was used to transfer it to a local Foundation 
containment site. 


Addendum 126-01: Researcher Note 


To date, conversations with SCP-126 have yielded 
several notable personality traits: 


* SCP-126 is mildly arachnophobic and will move 
away from any specimens introduced to its 


containment cell. 

* SCP-126 exhibits a desire to assist with any task 
which it believes it can be of help, despite being 
unable to manipulate objects. 

* SCP-126 prefers to converse with male subjects 
that exhibit humor and intelligence. 

* SCP-126 expresses a desire to have children and 
has conversed with staff on several occasions 
regarding child care methodology. 

* SCP-126 has the ability to fluently speak English, 
French, German, Portuguese, Spanish and at least 
three (3) other unknown languages.

SCP-127: The Living Gun 


Item #: SCP-127 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-127 is considered no 
more dangerous than a normal firearm of its type. However, due to 
its extraordinary properties, it is to be held in Weapons Locker 7-C 
when not in use and suspended in water rich in calcium and protein. 
At this time, only the research team assigned to SCP-127 has 
clearance to access it. 


Description: SCP-127, upon first glance, appears to be a standard 
MP5K submachine gun. Tests have revealed that aside from the 
outer steel shell, the entirety of the firearm is organic and alive. The 
weapon's ammunition initially appeared to be human-like teeth. 
However, DNA testing of the "bullets" resulted in no match to any 
known species on Earth. 


SCP-127 features two settings: semi-automatic and fully automatic 
(an audible groan can be heard when switching between the two). 
Upon depleting the weapon's "magazine" (typically 60 shots), it 
takes between 3-5 days to regrow a new supply of ammunition. 
Attempts to remove the magazine have resulted in failure—it seems 
to be permanently attached to the weapon. 


SCP-127 does not seem capable of reproduction at this time (scans 
have shown no apparent reproductive organs) and requires no 
sustenance beyond water, calcium, and protein. 


SCP-127 was originally located in the house of a Mr. James 

. Mr. was found dead from a heart attack on the 
night of November 17, 1991. Coroner's reports state that Mr. 

died sometime in the morning of November 8th, but was not 
noticed missing until more than a week later. No complications or 
unusual circumstances were found to lead to his death. Due to his 


extensive gun collection, the ATF and FBI were notified to collect his 
weapons. SCP-127 was discovered during testing and cataloging, 
and was promptly collected by SCP Agents. 


Addendum: Reclassified as Safe / /199.

SCP-128: Kinetic Energy Entity 


Item #: SCP-128 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-128 is to be held ina 
windowless containment chamber with blast-proof doors and walls 
and a ventilation system that maintains Class 100 cleanroom 
conditions inside. The interior of the containment chamber is to be 
monitored remotely by cameras welded in place with protective 
grating. The speakers and laser monitoring system must be similarly 
welded into place and protected with grating. The entry to 
SCP-128's containment chamber must include an antechamber with 
a second locked door that cannot be viewed from the chamber door. 


Personnel entering the test chamber for any reason must wear 
ballistic armor and must not bring any loose item inside the 
chamber. All required equipment must be rigidly mounted to the 
armor. Interference with the laser monitoring system or the central 
wheel is forbidden unless required for maintenance. 


In the center of the containment chamber, a wheel must be mounted 
to a concrete pedestal and allowed to spin freely. Should the wheel 
be measured to spin at less than 4,000 rpm at any time, all 
personnel are required to evacuate the containment chamber and 
foam nozzles will be deployed. 


ARCHIVED CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES - 
FOR LOG PURPOSES ONLY 


SCP-128 is to be kept in a chamber measuring at least 
10 mx 10 m x 5 mwith walls and door armored in 5 cm 
steel plate. All personnel who enter the containment 
room must wear full suits of heavy body armor, including 
ballistic plates. All loose objects of mass greater than 

5 kg are strictly prohibited. Clothing and related items are 


generally considered safe, as the entity appears to be 
incapable of distinguishing these from their wearers. 
Writing utensils, loose change, and other trinkets present 
considerable hazards to personnel and should therefore 
be used sparingly never enter the containment chamber. 


All items are to be cleared from room via suction before 
any personnel will be permitted to enter. Once personnel 
have exited, SCP-128 is to be given small objects, both 
to study its behavior and to alleviate boredom (if 
applicable). In the event of escape, the surrounding area 
will be evacuated and locked down, possibly followed by 
attempts to herd SCP-128 back into its enclosure. Past 
experience suggests that the latter is unnecessary, as 
the entity has shown no apparent desire to vacate the 
premises and will eventually return of its own accord. 


Description: SCP-128 is an immaterial source of kinetic energy 
which can be conferred upon any nonliving solid material within line 
of sight of the source. The source itself is motile, with a tendency to 
remain along the walls or at the central wheel of the containment 
chamber. The line of sight is blocked by any opaque material, 
including lead, steel, or even single sheets of paper, but not 
transparent materials such as ballistic glass. Opaque radiolucent 
materials will contain SCP-128's range of effect, suggesting that 
transmission of energy occurs at visible light wavelengths, but 
darkness does not prevent transmission of kinetic energy. 


Any loose nonliving materials within line of sight of SCP-128 are at 
risk of anomalous propulsion to hazardous velocities. Items under 
100 g in mass have been observed to accelerate to velocities of up 
to 900 m/s in a period of 0.1 second, similar in force to machine gun 
fire. Analysis of the mass and velocity of every object undergoing 
acceleration indicates that the system of affected objects contains a 
constant linear momentum of 2,500 kg m/s, anomalously 
unconstrained by direction. It is therefore advisable to have many 
heavier items available to the object instead of fewer, lighter items. 


Despite SCP-128's invisible, immaterial form, it has been 
determined that the entity cannot be compressed into a space under 
a 2cm radius sphere. Such compression with opaque materials, 


however, is not advised, as dust particles within the space will be 
excited, generating extreme heat, potentially rupturing the 
compression container explosively. 


SCP-128 arbitrarily chooses which items to accelerate, with a slight 
statistical preference for new objects over older ones. Despite the 
existence of some form of acceleration choosing, tests do not 
indicate an active sentience directing the choice, with one exception. 
The object does not accelerate "living" material, with its own 
parameters regarding what is considered "living." People or robots 
moving of their own accord are not accelerated, nor is any part that 
is rigidly attached. Dead or unconscious people and animals are 
also not accelerated. Unmoving but conscious test subjects report a 
light "tugging" in the presence of SCP-128, which immediately stops 
at the first sign of movement or animal-like characteristics. Plants 
and fungi, alive or dead, are similarly not accelerated. Unpowered 
robots, however, are susceptible to acceleration. 


Addendum 128-1: Recovery Log 


SCP-128 was recovered from a private home in , - Reports of 
telekinesis and random anomalous kinetic activity had been 
previously confirmed by field agents, and MTF Mu-13 
("Ghostbusters") was called in to isolate and capture the anomaly. 


Control: Okay, Equipment check. Tranquilizer pistols? 
Mu-13 Lead: All pistols loaded and checked. 

Control: Ballistic armor? 

Lead: Armor check. 

Mu-13 Gamma: I'm not used to carrying this ordnance. 


Control: It's standard issue for this sort of intangible. We 
had to dig deep in our files, had to look up old 
references. SOP on this dates back to 1968. The 
phenomenon was called a poltergeist back then. 


Delta: Poltergeist? That is old. Type | or II? 


Control: It could be a Type I, a telekinetic vector 
associated with a deceased person, but field agents said 
that there's considerable domestic strife in the home. It's 
most likely undifferentiated kinetic energy from a latent 
Bixby under extreme stress. Type Il. 


Lead: That's why containment involves the pistols. Trang 
all inhabitants, and it should shut down the anomaly long 
enough for us to figure out whose astral it is. The 
standard EMP tools are for containment of an 
autonomous intangible, should it be Type |. Careful in 
there. Take no chances. Beta, get the parabolic 
microphone on the house. We need to identify 
inhabitants. 


Beta: Mike online now. 


POI-1: How many times do | have to tell you, Britney, 
clean your fucking room already! You're such a shitass 
slob! 

POI-2: | did! It was spotless before | went to school! It 
was... Oh my god, Tyler, it was you, wasn't it, you little 
douche! 

POI-3: Nuh-uh! Why would | want to step foot in your 
nasty-ass pigsty? 


Gamma: Considerable domestic strife, you say? 


Lead: Yeah. Just get in there and put them all to sleep. 
They could use the nap. And be careful with loose 
objects. Confirming three targets. Move out! 


<Sounds of leaving the containment vehicle, 
approaching the house, and bashing in the door. Sound 
of tranquilizer pistol being fired.> 


Delta: The son's down. 


Lead: He looks young. Beta, check his vitals, make sure 
the drugs aren't too much of a shock to his system. The 
darts are calibrated to someone at least 40 kilos. 


Gamma, Delta, find the father and daughter now! 


<Footsteps through the house. Sound of tranquilizer 
pistol.> 


Gamma: Father's down. Reaching for a shotgun, glad 
we got to him first. 


Lead: Good work, Gamma. Delta, find the daughter? 


Delta: Tracked her to her bedroom. There's stuff 
everywhere, here, like a tornado ripped through here. 
Shades are pulled. She's got a pet hamster, but | don't 
see her. Trying the closet. 


Lead: Careful, Delta, that's probably the source of the 
poltergeist activity. 


Delta: Roger that, | just got hit in the face with a pillow! 
Lead: Quick, Gamma, Delta needs backup! 


<Screams heard. Sound of wood splintering. Sound of 
tranquilizer pistol firing.> 


Delta: Daughter is down! Repeat, Daughter is down! 
Chair just got thrown against the wall, bookshelf falling 
over! Activity increasing! Marbles! She has marbles! Ow! 


Lead: We got a Type |! Get out of the room, Delta! 
Dammit, just - OW! Everybody out! 


Delta: Grab my hand and pull! It's - Wait! It's the 
hamster! It's a fucking tornado hamster! Tranqing the 
hamster! 


Lead: Delta, NO! The darts aren't calibrated! 
<Sound of tranquilizer pistol firing.> 


Delta: Hamster down! Why aren't you stopping! | tranqed 
your - 


<Sound of [DATA EXPUNGED]> 


Lead: Everybody out! Delta down! Close the doors! Get 
ready for Type | containment! 


<End Log> 


Closing Notes: EMP deployment for Type | poltergeist 
containment functioned as expected, but failed to contain 
the anomaly. Mu-13 Gamma backed the MTF truck 
through the residence wall into the daughter's bedroom 
and opened the back doors. When the anomaly was 
observed to be inside the truck, the doors were shut and 
backup was Called to tow the truck with accelerated 
debris in the armored trailer. Cover story of tornado 
striking the house was released. 


Addendum 128-2: Principal Researcher's Notes 


Principal Researcher: Dr. Cordelia Argent 
Subject: SCP-128 


Despite what the recovery log would say, this is not a 
poltergeist. Poltergeists are an obsolete term, anyway. 
This is not a spirit or a consciousness as we might think 
of the term. It can't pass through walls or the like. This is 
a source of kinetic energy. I've updated the description to 
show this. It's hard to say what, precisely, it is, but it 
appears to be best thought of as a hole through which a 
constant momentum enters this universe. How this is 
accomplished is still the subject of further tests. 


In addition, the hamster did not have direct control over 
the phenomenon. If the hamster had conscious control, 
then the phenomenon would have ceased with its 
termination. Instead, if we continue the analogy of this 
being a hole, then the hamster was a valve covering the 
hole, which could be opened or closed to allow in more 
or less momentum. This "valve" appears to have been 
"stuck open." 


So all the talk about us having the ghost of a telekinetic 
hamster in containment should stop. It's inaccurate. 


scratch notes only - please delete - Dr. C. Argent 
CArgent: Hi Rod, are you there? 


RodArg: Hi Cordie, yes | am. Congrats on 
your promotion! How are things? 


CArgent: Okay. But I've been put in charge of 
128, and its containment is stressing me out! 


RodArg: What's that? Can you send me the 
file? 


CArgent: Yeah, hold on. 
<==sending scp128.scp==> 


RodArg: Got it. So it's some kind of kinetic 
energy entity? Sounds like just your sort of 
thing, Dr. Anomalous Physics. 


CArgent: Ha ha, very funny. Yes, I've figured 
out it's a field of constant momentum without a 
center of mass. Essentially you treat the 
momentum of the system as a scalar constant 
instead of a vector, independent of direction. 
Simple enough, mathematically, but it does 
mean that the energy in the kinetic system is 
constantly fluctuating and being added to, to 
maintain the constant scalar momentum. It's 
supposed to be modulated up and down, but 
apparently it was under control of a hamster, 
and when the hamster died, the field got stuck 
at up. 


RodArg: So what's the issue about 
containment? There are procedures here. 


CArgent: They're ridiculous! It's basically "give 


it toys but take them away whenever someone 
enters the chamber just so it can fire the 
researcher's clipboard through his skull"! I've 
had to fill the room with foam pillows and send 
janitorial D-class in there in full battle armor 
just to clear the body away! The site director 
says that's not the first time, and | just... 


CArgent: What am | supposed to do? 


RodArg: You need a constant linear 
momentum without center-of-mass vector 
positioning in the containment chamber? And 
the controller entity of the momentum field 
demonstrates some familiarity with objects? 


CArgent: Yes. 
RodArg: It's a hamster. Give it a wheel. 


CArgent: It's not a ham- ... That's why you're 
the biologist and I'm the physicist. Thank you. 


RodArg: You're still the smart one with the 
promotion, sis. You're welcome.

SCP-129: Progressive Fungal Infection 


Item #: SCP-129 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-129 is at large in the world 
and infects large numbers of humans and animals daily. As such, 
containment efforts are focused on treatment of infected individuals 
and on eradication of any or all member species of SCP-129. 
Although at least 98% of the world's population harbors a natural 
immunity to one or more species of SCP-129, outbreaks that reach 
Stage Three or higher (described below) must be contained as 
quickly as possible, with infected individuals quarantined under 
highest-risk contagion protocols. See Document #129-A-1 for further 
information. 


In the event of Stage Four or Stage Five outbreak, in addition to the 
above procedures, [DATA EXPUNGED}], as described in Document 
#129-A-2 (Level 4 clearance required). 


Description: SCP-129 is a series of at least different species of 
fungus that can infect any animal with mucosal membranes. 
Infection by SCP-129 can pass through up to five stages (depending 
on exposure to further member species of SCP-129, individual 
resistance, and other factors), with each stage of infection facilitating 
progression to the next stage by weakening the individual’s 
resistance to subsequent infection. 


Due to a combination of historical events, most humans and animals 
are naturally immune to SCP-129-04 through SCP-129- . Therefore, 
outbreaks of Stage Three infections are quite rare, but have the 
potential for widespread infection if not swiftly isolated and 
contained. All Known cases of SCP-129 have followed the below 
five-stage progression, although [DATA EXPUNGED], possibly due 
to mutation. 


Stage One: The first organism, SCP-129-01, attacks the victim's 
mucosal membranes, multiplying quickly and unobtrusively. A faint 
yeast-like smell might be detected, but beyond that, SCP-129-01 is 
asymptomatic. A second organism (SCP-129-02) can then infect the 
host, causing the victim to experience symptoms identical to those 
of acute viral nasopharyngitis (the common cold). The decreased 
efficacy of the host's immune system due to infection from 
SCP-129-02 allows SCP-129-01 to become entrenched further. 


SCP-129-01 and -02 generally leave the host body within four to six 
days. Though both species are fairly widespread, and most of the 
population has little to no protection against either organism, they 
pose little danger themselves, except to facilitate infection by 
SCP-129-03. 


Stage Two: Although SCP-129-03 is usually stopped by natural 
mucus, Stage One infection changes the composition of the host’s 
mucus so that the host is significantly less resistant to SCP-129-03. 
Once established in the host, SCP-129-03 alters the host’s mucus, 
lymph, and blood such that other species of SCP-129 can thrive in 
the host. 


Symptoms of Stage Two infection include greatly increased mucus 
production, a nagging cough due to excess phlegm, a lingering low- 
grade fever, increased sweating and salivating, a somewhat 
increased preference for vegetables, and the complaint that certain 
fruit juices 'taste odd’. Infection by SCP-129-03 generally lasts 
anywhere from two weeks to four months before being driven out by 
the immune system, unless the host enters Stage Three infection. At 
least % of all humans have experienced Stage Two infection at 
some point, but due to natural immunities (in spite of Stage Two 
infection) and the relative rarity of Stage Three species, less than . 
% of that % have passed into Stage Three. 


Stage Three: In the absence of SCP-129-03, nearly all animals are 
immune to the three species that cause Stage Three infection. 
However, a small number of Stage Two victims can become infected 
with one or more of these species; in these cases, the fungal 
infections become entrenched in the host and cannot be removed 
without extraordinary measures. 


Individually, the three Stage Three species elicit different symptoms 
in the host: 


* SCP-129-04 causes increased tear production (lachrymation), 
slight yellowing of the eyes, [DATA EXPUNGED]. 

¢ SCP-129-05 [DATA EXPUNGED], causing the host’s nails to 
thicken and significantly increasing earwax production. 

* SCP-129-06 [DATA EXPUNGED], in particular, bright yellow 
urine and small pellets in the host’s feces, both of which smell 
strongly of yeast. 


However, a victim who becomes infected with all three of these 
species will, within hours, develop flu-like (or worse) symptoms and 
become bedridden for three to five weeks. Afterward, though the 
victim appears to have recovered fully, in actuality SCP-129 has 
spread throughout all systems in the host’s body, marking passage 
into Stage Four. 


Stage Four: Victims who reach Stage Four appear generally 
healthy and indeed may be more lively and energetic than at any 
time since first contracting SCP-129. In actuality, SCP-129-01 
through -06 have spread throughout the host’s body, completely 
infiltrating the subject’s immune, respiratory, circulatory, 
reproductive, [DATA EXPUNGED], and central nervous systems. 


Mycelia from SCP-129 species also permeate the host’s skin and 
replace some percentage (up to %) of the host’s hair. These 
hyphae, which are nearly indistinguishable from the host's natural 
hair, are used to propagate SCP-129 to other hosts; any potential 
host that comes into contact with shed-off hyphae has a 9 % chance 
of becoming infected with SCP-129. Hyphae seem to be equally 
contagious from any part of the host’s body, although [DATA 
EXPUNGED] if sexually transmitted due to [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Despite (or perhaps because of) increased susceptibility to 
SCP-129, Stage Four victims are much more resistant to viral and 
bacterial pathogens than uninfected subjects. All known subjects 
who have reached Stage Four have either progressed to Stage Five 
or died within weeks. 


Stage Five: Symptoms of Stage Five infection depend on a variety 


of factors, including the particular Stage Five species that are 
present, as well as genetic, physiological, environmental, and any 
number of unknown factors. However, as in Stage Four, all Stage 
Five victims are highly contagious and can infect victims who had 
previously shown complete immunity. 


Notable manifestations of Stage Five symptoms: 


February _: Witnesses riding in a commuter train car in [DATA 
EXPUNGED] described a woman suddenly blowing up like a balloon 
and exploding, but instead of blood and viscera, the contents of the 
car were covered in spores and filaments. Analysis later showed 
that the victim was infected with SCP-129-09, SCP-129-14, and 
SCP-129- . All persons and objects in the affected area were 
quarantined, euthanized, and incinerated per protocol; casualties, 
including Foundation personnel. 


May _ : Following a string of disappearances in [DATA 
EXPUNGED] were tracked to a cave several kilometers from town. 
Inside, investigators found several pulsating mounds of flesh and 
vegetative material; although most were unrecognizable, a few of 
the entities retained some human characteristics and were identified 
as some of the missing citizens. 


Researchers theorize that victims of this combination of SCP-129 
would interact normally with the populace, attempting to infect 
others, until, after a period of time, they would come to the cave 
(how and why they were brought here is not known). Upon arrival, 
the victims would be changed into the pulsating vegetative flesh 
mounds, which appear to be organisms modified to provide a long- 
term source of sustenance for SCP-129. Analysis suggests the flesh 
mounds could potentially live for years. Autopsy revealed the 
presence of SCP-129-10, SCP-129-11, SCP-129-14, and SCP-129- 
. Site quarantined and sanitized per protocol; known casualties.

SCP-130: Post Office 


Item #: SCP-130 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-130 is to be staffed by 
twelve D-Class, six security agents (level 2/130) and one researcher 
(level 3/130) twice per day, starting at one half hour before local 
sunrise and sunset. All staff are to be appropriately uniformed and 
Caucasian only. When not staffed, two security agents will remain in 
the lobby, and two additional agents will patrol within the building. 
Agents are advised not to prevent people from entering the lobby, 
but to notify MTF Alpha-4 (“Pony Express”) to intercept anyone who 
receives mail or a package. 


Twice per day, bundles (SCP-130-2) will appear in the mail room. 
The parcels within the bundles are to be sorted by uniformed staff 
into appropriate bags and placed in a designated vehicle for 
transport to Site- . Should mail arrive with the following addresses, 
[REDACTED], follow procedure Franklin-Sixteen, detailed in 
Addendum 130-2. Otherwise, mail will be checked under standard 
practices for any items of interest. 


Objects are not to be placed for outgoing mail unless certified orders 
are given by O5- . Procedure Franklin-Seventeen outlines the 
protocol used in these cases. Should anyone else enter SCP-130 to 
use the outgoing mail slot, they are to be permitted to do so, then 
intercepted by MTF Alpha-4 as soon as possible for questioning. 
The incident is to be reviewed through security tapes and the 
outgoing mail watched for in subsequent bundles and checked 
through the list of previous parcels delivered. 


Description: SCP-130 is a post office in , South Africa, 
constructed in 18 . SCP-130 had been closed in 19 and left 
abandoned for years. The building is in excellent condition for its 
age, and maintains itself without human intervention, including 


moderate structural repairs. SCP-130 has been designated a 
Historic Site through an agreement with the South African 
government. 


Five times per week at local sunrise and sunset, several bags and 
boxes will appear in the mail room. The bundles, designated SCP 
130-2, will show only on weekdays, with the exception of current 
postal holidays for . Bundles are to be handled as per Special 
Containment Procedures as above. 


Inside of the lobby, along with the post office boxes, is a slot labeled 
for Outgoing Mail. The slot is able to accept packages up to 40 cm 
wide and 6 cm high, with no apparent limit for length. Once inserted 
into the slot, packages disappear, and will eventually turn up in the 
outgoing mail bundles, if they have not done so previously. 


Addendum 130-1: SCP-130 came to the attention of the 
Foundation in 19 , when packages and letters began to be 
circulated bearing the postmark for the site. The parcels appeared in 
post offices throughout the world with correct postage for delivery 
either locally or internationally, depending on the parcel. 


The parcels were often undeliverable, either to non-existent 
addresses or to recipients who were not at the address, and so 
ended up in dead letter offices. Various Foundation assets noted the 
odd postmark, and Mobile Task Force Alpha-4 mobilized to 
investigate. MTF Alpha-4 arrived in where they discovered the 
town had mostly been abandoned decades ago. The post office 
appeared to be in excellent condition, not only well-maintained, but 
clean. 


While MTF Alpha-4 searched, bundles of mail appeared in the mail 
room. Agents searched the bundles and discovered a variety of 
letters, parcels, and packages, all with that day's date and the 
postmark for that post office. Agent attempted to open one of 
the parcels, which resulted in the agent vanishing from sight. Six 
days later, a package appeared in Site- 's mail room. Inside of it 
was Agent and an envelope with a receipt for postage due. 
Agent had "Return to Sender" and "Postage Due" tattooed on 
back, and was in a comatose state. Agent remained in that state 
until the envelope was delivered to SCP-130's Outgoing Mail slot, 


where upon the agent returned to consciousness with no 
recollection from the time of disappearance. Similar results also 
occurred when agents tried to take away or damage either the 
parcels or the post office itself. 


Further investigation led to the current containment procedures, 
where Caucasian D-class personnel in uniforms circa 19 

sort through the mail when it appeared. Once processed and put in 
a marked vehicle, the mail can then leave the area 
unmolested. If the bundles are untouched, however, the bundles will 
vanish and later appear in the postal systems of the world in order to 
be delivered. 


Addendum 130-2: Through examination of the mail parcels over the 
past years, research has shown certain trends. Over percent of 
the mail is of a mundane nature, except for the matter of the 
postmark. Exceptions to this are letters that were apparently unsent, 
for whatever reason, and temporally displaced letters. The former, 
while odd, will be destroyed in order to protect the nature of 
SCP-130. The latter will be examined and results submitted to 
[REDACTED] 


Letters addressed to Foundation Sites or Personnel are to be sent to 
Site- where they will be reviewed by Department . Reports shall 
be classified under Project , pending Overseer review. 


Procedure Franklin-Sixteen: When mail is specifically addressed to 
[REDACTED], the mail is to be sealed in a case with active 
countermeasures and brought to the office of the present Level 
5/130 supervisor. Mail will then be screened for possible explosive, 
chemical, biological, memetic or [REDACTED] threats. After 
screening, the mail will be opened and assessed. While no new 
artifacts requiring secure containment have arrived, the possibility 
cannot be ignored. 


Mail either addressed to or intercepted by the Office is often 
temporally sensitive, and as such impact must be minimized to limit 
changes. The possibility of the information being used to alter 
present day events detrimentally must also be weighed. Using the 
information given by SCP-130 to alter events requires a two-thirds 
super-majority vote by the Overseers. 


Examples of intercepted messages are stored within Document 
130-1 and require level 4/130 to access. 


Mail with the following code-phrase [REDACTED] are to be 
immediately delivered after screening, without being read by 5/130. 
After so doing, that code-phrase is to be invalidated, and the next 
one brought in line. 


Procedure Franklin-Seventeen: All outgoing mail is to be sent with 
appropriate current postage for at the time of sending, and 
must be marked with the code-phrase [REDACTED]. The mail sent 
by this method is to be logged, then cross-checked with past parcels 
to insure temporal integrity. 


Upon attempt at mailing should a receipt appear for postage due, 
the amount shall be placed in an envelope and put in the outgoing 
mail slot. The slot will accept the following currencies: Rands, Euros, 
and . The use of counterfeit currencies will result in a lethal 
reaction by SCP-130 and an additional fine will be levied until mail 
can be sent again. 


Addendum 130-3: After the end of apartheid, SCP-130 no longer 
restricts postal staff to be White Only. 


Incident 130-6: On //19 , a package for one arrived with 

the address for a post office box at the site. Dr. _, the researcher 

assigned to SCP-130, placed the parcel into the P.O.B. and waited. 
minutes later, an unknown person identified as 

walked into the lobby. The subject appeared to be briefly puzzled, 

and walked over to the box. The locked box opened at his touch, 

and he expressed surprise at seeing the parcel with his name on it. 


MTF Alpha-4, being on-site, was dispatched to investigate once the 
subject was out of sight of SCP-130, and subsequently interviewed. 
The subject had no plans to visit that day, but had felt an 
unexplained desire to go there while driving nearby to visit family in 
the area. Upon opening the package, [REDACTED]. A Class-A 
amnestic was administered to the subject and was released after 
memory insertion.

Addressee: Dr. Alto Clef 

Summary: To this date, Dr. Clef has had _ parcels addressed to 
him in a variety of fashions, up to using valid code-phrases per 
Procedure Franklin-Sixteen. In each and every case, these parcels 
have contained a wide variety of means to assassinate the good 
doctor, tied with either gloating, terse judgments, or even apologies. 
Notes: After deaths and $ worth of damage to Foundation 
material, all missives addressed to Dr. Clef are to be thoroughly 
scanned and opened by remote under Hazmat Three conditions, as 
per O5- 's orders. Due to the incident at / /20 , only D-class 
personnel should handle the mail and be within fifty meters until 
disposed of.

SCP-131: The "Eye Pods" 


Item #: SCP-131 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: No special safety procedures 
are to be taken with SCP-131-A and SCP-131-B. They are free to 
travel about Site-19 so long as they do not attempt to enter any 
restricted areas or attempt to leave the facility. Casual contact with 
the subjects is permitted, but it is recommended that such contact 
be kept to a minimum to prevent the creatures from forming an 
attachment to personnel. Hourly tabs are to be kept on subjects at 
all times; failure to account for their presence at these times 
constitutes a level one lock down situation. Any report of abuse or 
mistreatment of the subjects will result in harsh reprimand. 


Description: SCP-131-A and SCP-131-B (affectionately nicknamed 
the "Eye Pods" by personnel) are a pair of teardrop-shaped 
creatures roughly 30 cm (1 ft) in height, with a single blue eye in the 
middle of their bodies. SCP-131-A is burnt orange in color while 
SCP-131-B is mustard yellow. At the base of each creature is a 
wheel-like protrusion which allows for locomotion, suggesting that 
the creatures may be biomechanical in origin. The subjects can 
move surprisingly fast, covering over 60 m (200 ft) in a matter of 
seconds. The subjects, however, lack a braking system, which has 
led to some rather spectacular, if not overly amusing, mishaps 
involving the creatures. The subjects have also shown the ability to 
climb sheer surfaces, and have gotten lost in the air vents on more 
than one occasion. 


The subjects seem to have the intelligence of common house cats 
and are insatiably curious. Most of the time they simply roll around 
the facility, observing personnel at work and catching peeks at other 
Safe class SCPs. The subjects seem to be able to communicate 
with each other via an untranslatable high-pitched babbling. The 
subjects have never been observed to blink, even in laboratories 


when the subjects have been videotaped for over 18 consecutive 
hours. 


The subjects seem to respond well to any affection given to them 
and will quickly bond to the giver of said affection, much in the same 
way a puppy bonds with a human being. They will follow anyone or 
anything they've made a bond with anywhere, even into normally 
restricted areas. Although curious, the subjects can sense danger in 
their general vicinity, and if the object of their bond begins to 
approach something they register as dangerous (e.g., Euclid or 
Keter class objects) they will swarm around their bonded 
companion's feet (or appropriate extremities) while babbling in a 
panicked tone, as if to warn them. Because of the daily dangers 
faced by Site-19 staff in dealing with Euclid and Keter class objects, 
it is recommended that staff avoid making attempts to bond with the 
subjects, as it can pose a distraction during delicate operations and 
experiments and may pose a danger to the subjects themselves 
(see Addendum 131-1). If the subjects are ignored by their bonded 
target long enough, they will eventually lose interest and return to 
their normal activities. 


It should be noted that the subjects require no real care or 
maintenance from the site staff. They do not eat, leave droppings, or 
even sleep. It would seem that the only sustenance they require is 
visual stimulation (although this requires further study to verify). 


Subjects SCP-131-A and SCP-131-B were found in a cornfield 
outside in the year 19 . They were promptly transported to 
Site-19 via [DATA EXPUNGED] and were then downgraded to Safe 
class and given free reign across the site once it became clear they 
were not broadcasting what they saw to any hostile foreign powers. 


Addendum 131-1: During an incident that took place on // , the 
subjects followed one of the cleaning staff on a routine cleaning of 
the container of SCP-173. After their normal attempts to warn the 
cleaner of the danger were ignored, the creatures rushed into the 
container in front of him and the other two personnel on duty. Once 
inside, the staff members observed the subjects sitting in front of 
SCP-173 and watching it intently, as if aware that it could only move 
if unobserved. The cleaners ignored the presence of the subjects 
and continued with the bi-weekly cleaning as per standard 


procedures. When the cleaning crew left, the subjects did as well, 
rolling backwards slowly and never taking their eyes off of SCP-173. 
Current applications of SCP-131-A and SCP-131-B as "wardens" for 
SCP-173 (and perhaps other SCP which require constant 
observation, such as SCP-689) are being considered.

SCP-132: Broken Desert 


Item #: SCP-132 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-132 are to 
be cataloged and etched with an appropriate designating mark. 
SCP-132 is to be stored at Containment Sector- when not in use. 
No special clearance is needed to have access to files relating to 
SCP-132 and instances of SCP-132 may be requisitioned for office 
decoration in any non-Command Foundation installation. After 
incident 132-01, no instances of SCP-132 are to leave Containment 
Area 23 without approval by the Sector Director. Following the 
incident detailed in Addendum 03, standard classification 
procedures are reinstated on SCP-132. 


Description: SCP-132 takes the form of aseries of glass 
tetrahedrons, each with a side length of 10.3 centimeters. Each 
instance of SCP-132 appears to contain a patch of desert sand. 
Occasionally scorpions and other desert creatures enter the 
confines of an instance of SCP-132 as if it were a continuous piece 
of desert. Creatures within SCP-132 have shown no awareness of 
the existence of anything outside of the object and attempts to 
influence the area within SCP-132 have failed. 


Review of observed animal life within SCP-132 has proven 
inconsistent. Clusters of contiguous instances have been internally 
consistent and have been confirmed to display areas of every major 
desert. No method of pinpointing exact locations has been 
discovered; staff observing SCP-132 are advised to be on the 
lookout for any defining features that could aid in this endeavor. 


Test Log SCP-132: 


Procedure: SCP-132-01 rotated and placed on an upper 
side 


Result: No apparent change in SCP-132-01 


Procedure: SCP-132-01 inverted and placed in a cradle 
Result: No apparent change in SCP-132-01 


Procedure: SCP-132-01 shaken vigorously 
Result: A few grains of sand in SCP-132-01 shift as 
though picked up by a light wind. 


Procedure: SCP-132-01 shaken vigorously 
Result: No apparent change in SCP-132-01 

Note: / guess it was just the wind, better to be sure 
anyway. -Dr. Peterson 


Procedure: A corner of SCP-132-01 is filed for several 
strokes 

Result: The filed corner is scuffed in a consistent 
manner to normal glass 


Procedure: Heat is applied to the side of SCP-132-01 
with a blowtorch 

Result: Heated side melts and a sizable hole is cut in 
SCP-132-01. Desert scene remains. 

Note: / prodded around in there after it cooled and only 
felt glass; it would appear that SCP-132 only shows an 
illusionary desert. | suppose it could be showing a real 
place but | have no idea how we could confirm this or 
locate where that may be. -Dr. Peterson 


Incident Log 132-01: Dr. R , currently stationed at Area- , 
reports knocking SCP-132-71 off her desk. Upon impact with the 
ground, SCP-132-71 shattered and the office of Dr. R was 
buffeted by extreme winds. Other owners of instances of SCP-132 
confirm that the area shown by SCP-132-71 and adjoining instances 
was experiencing a sandstorm. 


Addendum 132-01: Careful observation of SCP-132 has found that 
many instances are contiguous, the largest 'section' composed of 
sixteen (16) different instances. Speculation over the existence of 
additional unsecured instances has been raised. 


Addendum 132-02: Administration has deemed the possible risk of 
unsecured instances of SCP-132 existing to be negligible and set 
retrieval efforts to lowest priority. Keywords relating to SCP-132 
have been added to routine search protocols. 


Addendum 132-03: A large box arrived for Dr. Richardson at his 
home with a return address of [REDACTED], a Foundation front. No 
faculty associated with [REDACTED] report any association with 
said box and it does not appear on any [REDACTED] records. 
Inside were thirty-seven (87) uncatalogued instances of SCP-132. 
Twelve (12) were contiguous with previously documented instances 
of SCP-132 and three (3) instances which had no known shared 
edges were brought into contiguity. Of particular note were eighteen 
(18) instances which appear to display Martian soil, thirteen (13) of 
which were found to be contiguous. 


Addendum 132-04: At Dr. L 's suggestion, notes were taken 
over a year on the light cycle of SCP-132 clusters. Although 
imprecise, the Foundation now has a rough set of coordinates for 
various SCP-132 viewing locations. No missions need be sent to 
confirm these locations but teams passing near are encouraged to 
assist Dr. Peterson in pinpointing coordinates.

SCP-133: Instant Hole 


Item #: SCP-133 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-133 are 
stored in their original shipping crates, which are to be stored within 
a standard Safe-class storage container at Site 19. Experimentation 
with SCP-133 may only be performed with prior written permission 
from at least two (2) Level 4 Personnel. 


Description: SCP-133 are a set of six hundred and thirteen (613) 
black, circular pieces of a waxy, paper-like material 5 cm in 
diameter. When placed against a solid surface and rubbed, 
SCP-133 will instantaneously "transfer" to the surface and create a 
circular hole. Testing has shown that SCP-133 is capable of 
penetrating up to 61 cm of structural grade steel, though the exact 
degree of penetration is reduced by extremely smooth or highly 
dense materials. Examination of holes created by SCP-133 show 
that they are superficially smooth, but exhibit tool marks consistent 
with that of extremely fine boring implements at a microscopic level. 
The exact mechanism by which SCP-133 operates is still under 
investigation. 


SCP-133 came to the Foundation's attention following a string of 
high-profile burglaries in the city of , . Suppressed 
surveillance footage and forensic evidence were brought to the 
attention of embedded Foundation agents in local law enforcement 
agencies, and upon attempting to apprehend the culprit, subject 
placed an instance of SCP-133 over his chest and [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. Local law enforcement officers [REDACTED] and 
[REDACTED] were administered Class A amnestics and released. 


The original shipping crate in which SCP-133 was found has been 
shown to be immune to SCP-133's effect despite being composed of 
ordinary wood, and has been incorporated into the containment 


procedures for SCP-133.

SCP-134: Star-Eyed Child 


Item #: SCP-134 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-134 is currently contained 
within a specially outfitted humanoid-containment cell, measuring six 
(6) meters by eight (8) meters. Since SCP-134 is completely blind, 
special safety precautions must be taken with the room's 
furnishings. SCP-134 is reasonably accustomed to the position of all 
objects in the cell and navigates mostly from memory. SCP-134's 
room currently contains: 


One (1) single bed with additional mattress padding. 

One (1) pink bed set including sheets, comforter, and pillow with 
"Hello Kitty" mascot print. (Note: though blind, SCP-134 is able to 
feel the printed pattern and prefers it.) 

One (1) wardrobe and one (1) chest of drawers containing clothes in 
Youth Extra-Small. All drawers are to be labeled in Braille and 
raised-print English. 

One (1) dollhouse with dolls and interior furnishings. 

Eight (8) stuffed animals (three cats, two dogs, a giraffe, a dolphin, 
and a panda) 

A selection of children's literature in Braille. 

One (1) chair and one (1) table. 

A craft station with modeling clay and building blocks. 


SCP-134 may request additional items, all of which must be 
approved by a staff member with Level 3 clearance or higher. If any 
items are added to the room, SCP-134's handlers must be informed 
ahead of time to prepare her for the addition of something new to 
the environment. SCP-134 is to be tutored on a regular basis both in 
general education appropriate for the subject's age and in Braille. 


Description: SCP-134 seems to be an Asian girl between the ages 
of and , with short black hair and a slight build. The subject seems 


normal in most respects and has all the biological requirements of a 
human child (food, sleep, etc). However, where SCP-134's eyes 
should be are two black pits, covered by a transparent membrane 
similar in appearance to a human eye's membrane; 
ophthalmological testing has shown that the membranes are 
between 150 and 200 times more resilient than for a normal human. 
SCP-134 lacks eyelids and thus does not blink, nor can SCP-134 
see anything through these black areas. Attempts to examine the 
back of SCP-134's eyeball have failed, as no retina can be seen. In 
normal lighting conditions, they appear completely black, but in 
darkness, very faint lights have been seen within them. Further 
study with long-exposure photography and light amplification 
revealed that the lights are actually stars and galaxies, visible as 
though SCP-134's eye sockets are somehow looking out into deep 
space. To date, no astronomical formations have been recognized, 
though research by staff astronomer Dr. is ongoing. 


Sonar examination has revealed no unusual cavities within 
SCP-134's skull; however, [DATA EXPUNGED], confirming the 
presence of [DATA EXPUNGED] eye sockets being the local termini 
and intergalactic space being the remote termini. Parallax 
measurements indicate that the remote termini are between twenty 
(20) and two thousand (2000) meters apart, and are moving at 
between twenty (20) and forty (40) times the speed of light; this does 
not appear to be linked to SCP-134's position, movement, or 
metabolism. 


Spectrographic analysis indicates that the remote termini 
periodically [DATA EXPUNGED] new location; the cause of this is 
not yet known. The shortest interval measured between shifts was 
six days, while the longest was five weeks. As of yet, no termini 
shifts have been observed in progress. 


SCP-134 has not shown any hostile behavior, and seems unaware 
of any unnatural condition. SCP-134 shows behavioral symptoms 
similar to those seen in high-functioning autistic children, including 
patterned behavior and resistance to change. As such, SCP-134 
has been assigned a childhood development specialist to help work 
with these issues; the specialist has suggested that proper 
childhood development requires a personal name, and has 


nicknamed SCP-134 "Stella". SCP-134 has learned to associate 
being referred to by her SCP number with being subjected to 
physical tests, and becomes upset and less cooperative when this is 
done by individuals who have previously referred to her as "Stella"; 
consequently, personnel are urged to not refer to her by name 
unless they wish their interactions with SCP-134 to be limited to 
interview sessions. 


The specialist has since been terminated from employment for 
taking too close an interest in the SCPs assigned to him. Any staff 
found referring to SCP-134 as ‘Stella’ will be severely reprimanded. 


When questioned about her eyes, SCP-134 claims no knowledge of 
any deformation, even when allowed to feel normal human eyes for 
comparison. 


SCP-134 has to date volunteered no information about parentage or 
identity, though when acquired by the Foundation, SCP-134 was 
called" ". SCP-134 has proven docile and cooperative, and as 
such staff should display all the normal courtesy they would to any 
other guest. SCP-134 was taken into Foundation custody based on 
reports of a deformed child left at the orphanage in ; 
Yokohama, Japan. SCP-134 has been in Foundation custody since 
20 , at which time orphanage staff claimed SCP-134 was years 
old. Since then, SCP-134 has learned conversational English, in 
addition to the Japanese already known, and has demonstrated 
facility with Braille, though instruction is ongoing.

SCP-135: Universal Carcinogen 


Item #: SCP-135 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-135 is to be contained in a 
partitioned plexiglass chamber at least 7 metres to a side. All 
sections are to be completely sealed off from one another to avoid 
cross-contamination. SCP-135 itself is to be in a central section with 
1.0 to 1.5 square metres of floorspace, with a 5 cm-wide runoff 
trench around the perimeter that drains into a tank, the contents of 
which are to be piped into an incinerator at the end of every week. 
The remaining space in the containment chamber is to be used to 
house 5 chemical harvesting vats, one vat per partitioned section. A 
single access corridor is to lead from SCP-135's section to outside 
the chamber. No personnel are permitted within SCP-135's effect 
radius; all maintenance, taking of samples, etc., are to be carried out 
by remote-control robots. Disciplinary measures need not be taken 
against personnel that violate this rule, because the direct 
consequences of SCP-135's effects have been deemed 
consequence enough. Robots are to be maintained and cleaned by 
Level 1 personnel. 


Once a week, SCP-135's section is to be hosed down with Solution 
U82-B until only its outer coating is visible. In emergencies, 
flamethrowers may be employed to reduce mass quickly. 


Due to the potential of catastrophic effects in the event of cross 
contamination, at no point are SCP-329 or SCP-427 to be contained 
within the same facility as SCP-135. 


Description: SCP-135 is a human female between and _ years of 
age that promotes rapid, uncontrolled cell growth within a radius of 
2.25 metres from itself. It remains rigidly in the foetal position, and 
has never been observed to move. SCP-135's effect is carcinogenic 
to animal tissue and induces malignant neoplasia in plant and fungal 


tissues in 100% of recorded exposure cases, with severity and 
disorganization increasing exponentially with closer proximity to 
SCP-135. Within 0.1 metres, cells will not die, even under conditions 
where they would normally, causing SCP-135 to be steadily buried 
under a continually-growing mass of plant matter, fungal matter, and 
micro-organisms. This “undying” state extends to SCP-135's cells as 
well. SCP-135 has been shown to lack an epidermis, instead having 
a crust of mixed plant and fungal matter that has incorporated itself 
onto SCP-135's skin, interspersed with tumours and patches of raw 
dermis. 


SCP-135's lungs, diaphragm, and intestines are ruptured, and 
growth extends into the chest and abdominal cavities. It has been 
fitted with wide-diameter plastic tubes for use in draining excess 
biomatter. 


The Foundation came into possession of SCP-135 after it anda 
surrounding ball of growth rolled off a cliff in the Mountains, 
crushing a hiker on the trail below. Class B amnestics were 
administered to the civilians and law enforcement personnel 
involved, and the incident was covered up as having been caused 
by a pair of male goats that slipped and fell off the cliff edge during a 
dominance battle. Later examination of the growth revealed the 
partial skeleton of an adult human female with osteosarcomata 
covering % of it. SCP-135 was found in the space between the 
skeleton's ribcage and pelvis, at the time between and years old. 
A viable DNA sample was recovered from the bone marrow of the 
pelvis, and testing confirmed with .% certainty that the skeleton 
belonged to SCP-135's biological mother. 


All personnel involved with SCP-135's retrieval and initial testing 
were later diagnosed with various forms of cancer. Out of the 
affected, only are still alive at the time of this writing. 


Attempts to terminate SCP-135 with sustained gunfire, 
flamethrowers, caustic materials, vacuum, and extreme pressure 
have all failed. Further termination attempts are forbidden by order 
of O5- , due to SCP-135's potential uses in cultivating useful 
bacteria. See Document 135-a for information on the current 
contents of partitioned vats. 


EEGs confirm full brain activity. No attempts to communicate with 
SCP-135 are to be made at this time.

SCP-136: Naked Doll 


Item #: SCP-136 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: No extraordinary containment 
procedures are necessary. SCP-136 is to be kept in a standard 

10 mx 10 mx 10 m concrete containment room. SCP-136-1 is to be 
kept in a locked transparent plastic case, measuring 0.5 m x 0.5 m x 
0.5 m, placed on a table in the center of the room. Video 
surveillance is unnecessary when SCP-136 is not being actively 
examined. As of incident I-136-c (see Incident Reports), only Class 
D personnel may enter the SCP-136 containment chamber more 
than once in any thirty day period without special authorization from 
Director 


Description: SCP-136 has no effect on non-humans. 


SCP-136 describes two phenomena. SCP-136-1 is of variable 
appearance, but generally manifests as a crude clay, wood, metal, 
or cloth doll, usually identifiable as female and usually between 10 
and 30 cm in length. The doll appears as male in approximately 10% 
of viewings. 


SCP-136-1 has no unusual properties that can be measured 
empirically. Mass spectrometry of samples taken from the doll return 
typical results for its present material. When the doll is damaged to 
the extent where it no longer appears human - usually upon removal 
of the head or all limbs - it vanishes completely and reappears ina 
new configuration within a one (1) meter radius. Testing of complete 
vaporization pending. 


SCP-136-2 manifests only when SCP-136-1 is viewed for 
approximately twenty (20) minutes, though like SCP-136-1, it has a 
somewhat variable form. The first indication of SCP-136-2’s 
presence is a sound of laughter of a gender corresponding to the 


appearance of SCP-136-1. Personnel who hear the laughter report it 
as sounding “creepy” or “scary.” The laughter lasts for an interval of 
anywhere from five seconds to two minutes, after which is a period 
of silence, usually of about five minutes. After the period of silence, 
SCP-136-2 appears along with the abrupt disappearance of 
SCP-136-1. 


SCP-136-2, is an incorporeal nude or partially nude figure 
corresponding to the gender of SCP-136-1. SCP-136-2, ranging in 
size from 1.9 to 2.1 meters, is always posed in a provocative 
manner and moves through the air at a slow walking pace (0.2 m/s) 
towards the subject(s). If more than one subject is present, each will 
see the form as moving towards him or herself. As it approaches, 
the volume of the laughter increases. By the time SCP-136-2 is 
within 1 to 2 meters, the subject invariably has gone rigid in fear, 
collapsed, or backed up until he or she hits a wall. SCP-136-2 
usually remains stiff until it is within approximately 5 cm of the 
subject, whereupon it will scream once before vanishing. Ten to 
fifteen seconds later, SCP-136-1 will reappear in its previous 
location in a different configuration. 


The apparition has a very disturbing appearance. Its mouth is far too 
wide, frozen in a rictus of pain and arousal. It will occasionally bare 
its teeth or lick its lips. Its irises take up almost the entire sclera of its 
eyes, which appear mad and bloodshot. If female, it will have an 
absurdly narrow waist and large breasts. The experience of viewing 
SCP-136-2 is profoundly upsetting and has universally caused night 
terrors for up to six months in every single subject, possibly as a 
result of its psychic intrusion. After a viewing, most subjects are 
unable to leave the containment room without assistance. 
Interestingly, Class D personnel with a history of sexual deviancy 
still experience a strong negative reaction to 136-2. 


At no point has SCP-136-2 been observed to move past the 
boundaries of its containment room. See Incident report I-136-a 


Additional Information: 


SCP-136 was recovered from the children's bedroom of an 
abandoned house in [DATA EXPUNGED] that was reportedly 
haunted. A routine sweep of such reported homes by Foundation 


personnel discovered SCP-136 when Agent _ fell from a second 
story window, screaming. 


Incident Reports: 
Incident I-136-a, / /19 


Dr. Simon was the twenty-fifth subject to observe 136-2, and the 
fourth to do so voluntarily. The viewing proceeded in the usual 
manner with no anomalies. Approximately two hours after viewing 
136-2, Dr. Simon, who was in the break room with several other 
researchers, screamed and dropped his coffee mug. He 
incoherently indicated that he could see 136-2 floating down the hall 
towards him. Dr. Morris and Dr. Harrison restrained him, assuming 
that he had simply been badly shaken by the experience. After 
approximately two minutes, all present in the room fell unconscious. 
Dr. Soboya recovered first and proceeded to awaken her 
colleagues. Dr. Simon had lapsed into a coma, and died three days 
later. 


— Dr. Meyers requests reclassification to Keter class. 

— Reclassification as Keter class denied. We cannot dismiss the 
possibility that the unfortunate incident wasn’t caused by some other 
telepathic SCP. 


Incident I-136-b, / /20 


It happened again today. Agent — shoved a few Class D's into the 
room, and he was standing outside with _ . 136 finished doing its 
thing, and | was helping them drag the subjects out of the room 
when everything went black. | woke up to Agent smacking me in 
the face and three Class D’s in comas. This thing is killing people. 
We haven't learned anything new from it in ten years, and we can't 
use it. | request that we find a way to terminate 136, maybe get a 
psychic SCP in here with it. It's not like burning it will do anything. 
— Dr. Meyers 


Request for termination denied. 136 is proving valuable for 
enhanced interrogation. 


Incident I-136-c, / /20 


This is out of control now. You all saw what happened, hell, 
everyone in a thousand yards will never forget [DATA EXPUNGED], 
and the Class D in the room is gone and nobody knows how. At the 
very least, we need to do some more rigorous screening of the D’s 
before sending them in, we would have found out that he was 
[DATA EXPUNGED] ahead of time. Thank God we've figured out 
what set it off, though. Request reclassification to Keter and 
permission for attempted termination of 136. 

— Dr. Meyers 


Request denied. Dr. Meyers is to be removed from administration of 
SCP-136. Disposition of 136 is to be given directly to Overseer 
and Dr. for exclusive use in enhanced interrogation.

SCP-137: The Real Toy 


Item #: SCP-137 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-137 is to be kept ina 
locked room, with a hairbrush and posters depicting a country 
meadow to keep it placid and tractable. SCP-137 is to be fed three 
meals a day. Under no circumstances are any toys allowed to come 
within five hundred (500) meters of SCP-137. 


Description: SCP-137 is an entity with the ability to possess a toy, 
gaining the physical properties, size, and shape of whatever it 
represents; for example, a teddy bear will become an actual bear, 
and behave accordingly. SCP-137 cannot possess any 
miscellaneous object, only toys. The observed range of SCP-137's 
possessive effect is two hundred fifty (250) meters, but until further 
testing has been accomplished, SCP-137 is assumed to have a 
maximum range of five hundred (500) meters from its position. 


SCP-137 was first brought to Foundation attention after a series of 
bizarre deaths and incidents involving children. The deaths were 
determined to be too random to be a serial killer, and Foundation 
agents were sent in to investigate. It was located after an interview 
with a young girl suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, after 
a naked man had appeared in her bedroom. It was encountered in 
the same neighborhood in the form of a gorilla. SCP-137 was then 
tracked and finally captured when it possessed a stuffed pony doll in 

, _,and was chased into the nearby wilderness. SCP-137 was 
tranquilized, and extracted to Site-19 by helicopter. 


Testing has shown that SCP-137 takes on the characteristics of the 
toy it possesses, but only as a child might perceive it. A toy soldier 
becomes a violent, well-armed man. A toy gun fires bullets. A toy 
lion attacks and kills humans. However, it lacks true intelligence. It 
shows no sign of long-term memory, nor any capacity for learning or 


abstract thinking (See Interview 137-1). For more information, 
please refer to Experiment Log 137. 


It is currently inhabiting a princess doll, of the line. 


Addendum 
Interview 137-1: 


Interviewed: SCP-137 
Interviewer: Dr. 


Foreword: Interview took place to determine what SCP-137 is, and 
why and how it possesses toys. 


<Begin Log> 

Dr. —: Good day. 

SCP-137: Hello! I'm Princess Blossom. Are you my prince? 
Dr. — : No. Now, can you please tell me what you are? 


SCP-137:| am a princess! | am the prettiest princess in the whole 
world! 


Dr. _: Where did you come from? 
SCP-137: | live in a castle. Are you my prince?

Experiment Log 137 


Date: / / 
Test Material: Toy jet plane 


Results: The toy was replaced by a full-sized F-16 which 
attempted to take off inside the testing facility, causing a 
great deal of damage. The debris quickly turned back to 
plastic, and SCP-137's current form reanimated. 


Notes: |n the future, please avoid testing materials that 
come equipped with jet engines and missiles. This was 
an expensive test. 


Date: / / 
Test Material: brand racecar. 


Results: The toy was replaced by a full-sized Ferrari that 
attempted to race around the testing facility, ultimately 
crashing into the wall at high speed. Again, the debris 
turned back to plastic, and SCP-137's current form was 
reanimated. 


Notes: Vehicle tests now require permission from 
Director 


Date: / / 
Test Material: An alligator key-chain fob, attached to 
Agent Sorenson's keys. 


Results: A six-meter-long saltwater crocodile in a 
hallway. Fourteen dead. 


Notes: All agents must now be searched for toys or toy- 
like items before entering site 


Date: / / 


Test Material: brand "American Soldier" action 
figure. 


Results: The toy was replaced by an adult male human 
in a soldier's fatigues, carrying a large rifle, which 
managed to kill five personnel before being terminated. 


Notes: Let's try something less violent next time. 


Date: / / 
Test Material: brand Officer Jones beat cop action 
figure. 


Results: An adult male in a policeman's uniform. It kept 
asking where the "perps" had gone to, and insisting that 
researchers not take recreational pharmaceuticals. After 
interrogation attempts, it announced that the researchers 
were criminals, shot two, and handcuffed a third before 
being terminated. 


Date: / / 
Test Material: A stuffed panda. 


Results: A very large panda. It is to be noted that, 
despite their "cute" appearance and herbivorous lifestyle, 
pandas are still bears. It proceeded to hug one of the 
researchers, breaking three ribs before it was 
terminated. 


Date: / / 
Test Material: A box of plastic construction bricks. 


Results: A terracotta brick appeared inside the box. It 
vanished, replaced by a brick of a different material. This 
went on for several hours before the items were 
destroyed and the anomaly reanimated its current host. 


Date: / / 
Test Material: A brand yo-yo. 


Results: The yo-yo did not change form. However, it 
became autonomous, moving on its own and performing 


a variety of tricks, even when removed from the finger of 
a researcher and placed on a hook in the wall. 


Date: / / 

Test Material: A brand Doctor Selenium action 
figure, noted on the packaging to be "The Smartest Man 
on Earth." 


Results: An adult male in a lab coat. It made repeated 
references to its "astounding intellect." However, when 
questioned on any scientific or mathematical knowledge, 
it would not answer directly, only saying that it was the 
"smartest man on Earth." Testing ended after several 
hours of fruitless questioning. 


SCP-138: The Ever-Living Man 


Item #: SCP-138 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-138 requires minimal 
containment procedures. For humanitarian purposes, subject is 
currently being kept in a chemically-induced comatose state. 


Description: SCP-138 is a human male, suspected to be in excess 
of four thousand (4000) years old. Subject is approximately 1.5 
meters in height, emaciated, and wizened. SCP-138's precise 
origins are unknown. Subject was discovered in 2006, in an 
Egyptian tomb located near Tutankhamen's tomb unearthed in 
1922, sealed inside a sarcophagus. When a living being was 
discovered in the tomb, the Foundation was alerted by one of our 
sleeper agents assigned to the International Archaeological 
Association. Subject was immediately moved to Sector 37 for 
investigation by the lead research science team there. 


Physiologically, SCP-138 should clinically be dead. Muscles and 
internal organs are in a severe state of atrophy, and although the 
subject's bio-electro-magnetic field is stable, his nervous system is 
also severely debilitated. Subject also exhibits evidence of a large 
number of fatal wounds, some possibly accidental, some blatantly 
deliberate, whether inflicted by the subject himself or by others. 


There is no obvious scientific explanation for his continued living 
state. Although other SCPs have exhibited accelerated regenerative 
properties, allowing them to resist death, SCP-138 has no such 
abilities—his body does not regenerate damage, but simply 
continues to function despite lethal injuries. This stretches to 
wounding blows, although anything that would completely destroy 
the body proves ineffective. 


Subject speaks exclusively in a dialect of ancient Egyptian. 


Communication using a civilian translator has revealed very little 
about the subject's past, though it would appear that he was buried 
in the tomb for an unknown religious purpose. Due to his severely 
injured state, SCP-138 is in a constant state of agony, and has on 
numerous occasions insistently requested humanitarian euthanasia. 
No successful method of termination has yet been found, despite 
various and varied attempts, both official and unsanctioned. 
Attached is a comprehensive list of the subject's injuries. 


Document 138-27: Injuries sustained by subject SCP-138 
Ancient injuries: 


* Slit throat 

* Seventeen (17) separate wounds to the torso: nine (9) sword 
wounds, six (6) spear wounds, and two (2) wounds caused by 
unknown puncturing weapon, possibly a metal or wooden 
spike 


Sanctioned euthanasia attempts: 


* Severe nausea (due to intravenous arsenic poison) 

¢ Third degree burns to 100% of the subject's body (note that 
SCP-138 survived a full twenty (20) minutes in an industrial 
incinerator) 

* Severe internal and nervous system damage (from 
electrocution attempt) 


Unofficial euthanasia attempts by non-research personnel: 


« Tracheal trauma (due to extended strangulation attempt) 
* Two gunshot wounds to the head, causing severe cranial 
trauma

SCP-139: Possible Skull of the White Div 


Item #: SCP-139 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-139 is to be kept ina 
room at least six meters at its smallest dimension, suspended at 
least two meters from the nearest inside surface of the room. No 
one is to enter this room under any circumstance. The room is never 
to be left without at least two armed guards at any moment. 


Description: The object appears on the surface to be the poorly 
preserved skull of a hominid. It is missing the lower jaw bone. Also 
of note is the extreme wear, especially to the eye sockets. 


Photography of the skull has been analyzed by leading 
anthropologists. All agree that the specimen is too badly damaged to 
be identified with complete accuracy, and that it is most definitely 
hominid. While some believe it is a standard Neanderthal skull, 
others are convinced that the wide cavities are the result of wear 
and that the original size was much smaller, more like that of a 
modern human. This is because the size of the nasal and ocular 
cavities was the main feature leading some to identify the skull as 
Neanderthal. However, all were confounded by the ridge at the top 
of the skull. This feature is most commonly associated with 
prehistoric herbivorous species of hominids. 


One of our own anthropologists has proposed the theory that the 
ridge is the sign of a powerfully jawed animal. Such ridges generally 
act as anchors for jaw muscles, such as in Paranthropus boisei. 
These animals used their heavy jaw muscles for chewing plants, but 
it is also feasible that with sharp teeth they could easily be used for 
killing. 


The following was translated by Dr. from ORIA Document 
D.TDL67. 


When discovered, the skull was located in a small town 
just south of the Throne of Jamshid. [Takht-e Jamshid, or 
"Throne of Jamshid" has been determined to be a 
modern Farsi name for Persepolis] 


The skull was first recorded by Douglas Winthrop, an 
Englishman and employee of Anglo-lranian Oil during 
the 1370s. [Roughly the 1950s on the Gregorian 
Calendar] Winthrop was an amateur anthropologist 
seeking fame and glory, and came upon the town hoping 
to find a living missing link. He believed that the 
residents of the town may be living Neanderthals. 
Though this hypothesis was quickly abandoned upon 
inspection of the townspeople, he did uncover the skull. 


When discovered, the skull was being held in an iron and 
copper cage, suspended fifty feet [15.24 meters] in the 
air from a cliff using hemp rope. The rope was tied to a 
hook drilled into the side of the cliff, implying an intention 
never to bring it back down. A pulley was present, 
however. It was attached to a wall erected on the edge of 
the cliff. The pulley was used to lower food and water 
down towards the skull. 


The people referred to the skull as the skull of the White 
Div. In ancient lore, the White Div is a demon and the 
spawn of Ahriman, who is the sum of all evil. The White 
Div in legend is a being of great and mystic power, 
defeated by Rostam. [Rostam is a legendary hero of 
Persia] Purportedly the Div was slain in the northern hills 
of what is now Azerbaijan. 


According to the townspeople, the skull had been 
brought to their town by a madman who had slain many 
men before they discovered the power of the skull and it 
was contained and put in its current position. 


Winthrop was soon overcome with madness himself, slaughtering 
seven of his friends after his return to England. He also was charged 
and convicted of sodomizing several male and female animals 
(among them several chickens, a male and female dog, and three 


bulls). 


He did not, however, manage to bring the skull back as it was 
confiscated by the University of Shiraz under the Shah's authority. 


After the confiscation, however, no new research became of it. 


The artifact surfaced next in the Yukon, ninety kilometers from the 
Alaskan border. The entire community of Caribou Crossing (what is 
known today as Carcross, Yukon) was found brutally murdered by 
multiple stab wounds. Semen was found inside the wounds and it is 
assumed the assailant ejaculated into the incisions. The corpses 
were found stacked in a large pile in the center of the chapel. On top 
of the pile of corpses was the skull. 


The artifact has since been in our custody. 


Its properties are unknown. What has driven such superstition in its 
wake is unknown. What has brought it to the scene of intense 
carnage is unknown. The safety precautions currently taken are so 
done simply because they have thus far proved effective. Why is not 
known. 


No research is planned.

SCP-140: An Incomplete Chronicle 


Item #: SCP-140 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-140 must never be 
brought closer than 15 m to any source of standard ink, human 
blood, or other fluids suitable for writing. Any contamination by blood 
or ink must be reported immediately. Any remaining copies of 
SCP-140 created during the initial printing must be found and 
destroyed as soon as possible. Only SCP-140 is to be preserved, for 
purposes of study, early warning, and cataloguing and recording 
possible SCPs derived from its subject matter. 


SCP-140 is contained at Site-76 in a sealed vault containing a single 
desk. At this time no research is to be carried out upon the original 
SCP-140; researchers are to read from prepared copies not bearing 
the signature of its author which lack its properties. In the event of 
approved research, SCP-140 may not be removed from the vault, 
and readers may not be in contact with it for longer than 9 hours. 
Access requires written approval from the head researcher for the 
explicit purposes of testing. An armed guard stationed outside the 
vault will meet any attempted theft with deadly force. 


Should any personnel begin displaying obsession with SCP-140 or 
signs of possible memetic contamination, they are to be issued a 
Class A Amnesiac, false memories implanted as necessary, and 
transferred to another project. Transferred personnel must be 
monitored for signs of relapse. 


Description: SCP-140 is a modern hardcopy book with an 
unremarkable black binding and an unknown number of white 
pages. The book jacket is missing, but the title, “A Chronicle of the 
Daevas”, is clearly legible. The inside cover is signed by the author, 
whose name is indecipherable. The text is copyrighted 19 . Careful 
examination reveals there are far more pages between the bindings 


than could be contained within them. 


Readers admit to feelings of paranoia, unease, and occasional 
nausea while reading SCP-140, although this may be related to the 
subject material. Nonetheless, readers almost universally describe 
SCP-140 as fascinating and express continued interest, despite its 
frequently unsettling content. One in fifteen readers describe 
SCP-140 as having a faint odor of dried blood. 


SCP-140 is a detailed account of an ancient civilization originating in 
what is now south-central Siberia, identified as the Daevites. 
Although like all cultures the Daevites evolved and changed over 
time, they appear to have exhibited unusual continuity. Universal 
fixtures of the Daevite culture in all periods included militarism, 
conquest, ancestor worship, urban centers ruling over large slave 
populations, gruesome human sacrifice, and the practice of 
apparently efficacious thaumaturgic rituals. A variety of relics and 
creatures produced by the Daevite culture would be abnormal or 
dangerous enough, if the account is to be believed, to qualify for 
containment in their own right. 


If SCP-140 comes into contact with any fluid suitable for writing, 
including human blood, the account of the Daevite civilization’s 
history expands. Human blood appears the most “potent” of possible 
writing substances, but in any case the amount of new material does 
not correspond proportionately to the fluids introduced. Although 
these new segments sometimes include new descriptions of rituals 
or cultural traits or illustrations of previously covered material, they 
more frequently include new, more recent accounts of information 
chronicling the continued history of the Daevite civilization or 
descriptions of new individuals and artifacts. Formerly decisive 
defeats become setbacks; new persons and events are inserted. 
Foundation archaeologists have discovered corresponding new 
artifacts and traces of the Daevite civilization in applicable locations 
and strata, in some cases found in dig sites that had already been 
thoroughly explored. 


Although at times the Daevites were a collection of city-states, they 
appear to have consistently returned to imperialism under a 
theocratic aristocracy (the “daeva”), practitioners of cannibalism and 
thaumaturgy. Although initially Foundation researchers believed the 


daeva to have been a hereditary class recycling the names of 
noteworthy individuals, evidence and the events of - -20 now 
suggest that the daeva possessed preternatural longevity as a result 
of [REDACTED]. Several researchers, notably Professor , have 
concluded the daeva were so divergent from modern humans as to 
be a separate subspecies, a conclusion supported by graphic 
representations within SCP-140 and [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


SCP-140 is remarkably detailed by the standards of a primary 
source, seeming closer to a biography than a historic text. It includes 
lurid descriptions of sacrificial rites, battlefield descriptions, daily life, 
and the life stories of various noteworthy individuals including quotes 
and dates of birth. Over distinct individuals have been identified 
including the individual presently termed SCP-140-A, of which only 
are accounted for by recorded deaths. 


Foundation archaeologists have discovered several sites containing 
ruins consistent with the supposed Daevite culture in various 
locations across Siberia, northern Iran, and Mongolia. Artifacts and 
traces of inter-cultural conflict and contact have been discovered as 
far west as the Carpathian Mountains and as far east as northern 
Pakistan and China. These include SCP-[REDACTED]. 


Addendum 140a: 
SCP-140 was originally found in the office of deceased historian 
. The previous owner was discovered in his office at 
University, having expired from self-inflicted lacerations on both 
wrists. There were no traces of ’s blood in the office. 'S 
colleagues claimed during interviews they discovered a note in 
faded ink in ’s handwriting next to SCP-140. All witnesses were 
administered Class A Amnesiacs and false memories implanted. 


’s note read: 
| have to know. I’m sorry. 


All texts within 15 m except several books relating to the history of 
the region were blank; the remaining books now included accounts 
of supposed interaction between the Daevite civilization and the 
subject cultures or applicable discussions of Daevite history and 
culture. These texts were confiscated. All printed forms and media 


were blank. All pens, printers, and ink cartridges were empty. 


Addendum 140b: 

Although SCP-140 was published during the 20th century, the tone 
of the book suggests it is a recounting of events, individuals, and 
practices experienced firsthand by SCP-140’s unknown author. 
Foundation investigators have tracked SCP-140’s publication to the 
[DATA EXPUNGED] printing house in a batch of copies self- 
published by a wealthy individual hereby termed SCP-140-A. 
SCP-140-A’s signature on the contract matches the strange 
signature inside SCP-140. 


More than 4 of the copies produced in this batch were apparently 
leeched of all ink by the remaining copies. To date, Foundation 
agents have recovered and destroyed of the remainder, but 
between and remain at large. Two expansion events have been 
reported during periods when SCP-140 had never been exposed to 
fluids of any sort or removed from its vault. 


An investigation and manhunt for the author of SCP-140 is ongoing. 
In the event of contact, agents are advised [DATA REDACTED]. 


Addendum 140c: 

Through study of SCP-140 and other contained objects related to 
the Daevite civilization, Foundation researchers have concluded 
that, transposed to the modern era, the resurgence of a hostile 
Daevite civilization in history more recent than 1 CE would 
constitute a grave and even possibly retroactive threat to the 
Foundation and modern civilization as we know it. Even best-case 
projections of Daevite resurgence in the modern day suggest a CK- 
class restructuring of modern society and a worldwide conflict with a 
projected death toll of at least [REDACTED] and an end to the 
Foundation’s secrecy. 


Addendum 140d: 

’s journal, found on his home PC in [DATA EXPUNGED], 
indicates that upon his initial reading of SCP-140, it ended with the 
almost utter destruction of the Daevite civilization and the genocide 
of all Known daeva in 2 BCE by the forces of Chinese general Qin 
Kai. As a result of subsequent containment breaches, including 
those detailed in the journal, copious quantities of new material have 


been added, describing survivors regrouping and migrating to 
another region of central Siberia, rebuilding their empire steadily, 
and continuing to advance culturally and technologically. At present, 
the empire is described as having finally been crushed by Genghis 
Khan during the early period of his conquests, although the fates of 
many important persons and several cities remain ambiguous. 
Foundation archaeologists will be dispatched to [EXPUNGED] for 
investigation and research. 


Addendum 140e: 

After the incident on - -20 at [DATA EXPUNGED] dig site resulting 
inover casualties, all Foundation archaeologists excavating sites 
of suspected Daevite artifacts or ruins are to be accompanied by a 
fully armed security team. SCP-140-1 has been neutralized. 
SCP-140-2 remains at large. All other anomalous contacts and 
artifacts were destroyed when the dig site was struck by a cruise 
missile. Agent received a commendation and was treated for 
post-traumatic stress disorder. Dr. | received a posthumous 
commendation for courage. 


An investigation into the possible involvement of SCP-140-A or their 
agents in the events of - -20 is ongoing.

SCP-141: Codex Damnatio 


Item #: SCP-141 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: When not in use, SCP-141 is to 
be stored inside a locked safe in Site-76. Access to this safe 
requires security level clearance 3 or higher and written approval to 
use SCP-141. When SCP-141 is in use, either for implementation in 
accordance with Foundation goals, or for research purposes, it is to 
be kept within the possession of the assigned researcher at all 
times. Failure to account for SCP-141 will result in a severe 
reprimand. 


While SCP-141’s danger to the Foundation appears limited, it could 
still be a tempting target for certain subversive groups or 
opportunistic users. For this reason, SCP-141 is to be checked out 
for no more than one week at a time. 


Description: SCP-141 is a small leather-bound codex dating back 
to Roman times, easily carried in one hand. Despite its great age, it 
never acquires any additional signs of wear and tear beyond a 
somewhat aged-looking cover. Its thin papyrus pages are always 
crisp, and so far have proven difficult to tear from the codex’s 
binding. All attempts at radiocarbon dating have failed; the judgment 
of SCP-141 as being Roman in origin was initially based upon its 
appearance, but later confirmed through extensive research using 
SCP-141 corroborated by historical records. The title is apparently 
Codex Damnatio, based upon the text on its spine. 


SCP-141’s pages are written in Roman Republic-era Latin. It is a 
detailed description of notes and summations for a wide range of 
legal trials. This first half contains a series of historic trials from 
throughout history—the earliest trial appears to be from the 
proscriptions of the late Roman Republic, while the most recent 
case is the [DATA REDACTED] taking place in 20 . Each case 


summary is extensive, with precise witness quotations, exact 
physical descriptions of evidence and their importance to the case, 
and so on. 


The codex actually contains far more legal cases than its one 
hundred and fifty pages could possibly allow; a reader must make a 
detailed reference to a range or specific case to discover if it is listed 
inside. If it is, the pages will transform into those relating to the 
specified case. This requires specific mentions of historical context 
surrounding the case(s). Research with SCP-141 conducted by 
Professor revealed SCP-141 has apparently been employed in, 
among other important periods, a wide variety of Roman 
proscriptions, heretical trials of the Catholic Church (including the 
conviction of [DATA REDACTED)), the Spanish Inquisition, the witch 
hunts of the 17th century, and the Red Scare of the mid-20th 
century. 


The latter half of the book is blank, and can be written in with any 
pen with black ink. A user of SCP-141 must provide detailed 
information about a criminal proceeding, including victim, evidence, 
witness statements, and suspects, and they must do so in Republic- 
era Latin. Later readings of the book will reveal these new cases in 
the first half of the book, written in the same handwriting as the rest 
—a very precise, careful hand. 


When this information is provided to SCP-141, the particulars of the 
case described in SCP-141 appear to become "true" in regards to 
memory and evidence surrounding the case. Witnesses’ memories 
and testimony will correspond to the information written in SCP-141. 
Falsified evidence springs into existence in accordance with its 
description, usually appearing in the court record or the crime scene 
where it can easily be discovered. This has included murder 
weapons, suspicious traces of the subject such as fluids or 
fingerprints, stolen items, or incriminating documents. 


SCP-141 appears able to cause criminal activities that would not 
have taken place, although this requires even more precise wording 
and description of the particulars. The "guilty" party specified by 
SCP-141 may have a false memory implanted that corresponds with 
SCP-141’s account of events, although this result requires a clever 
description of the desired scenario. These memories do not 


overwrite the original ones, but they do seem quite nearly as real. 


Care must be taken by all users to ensure as many loopholes are 
closed as possible. SCP-141’s falsifications will stand up to all but 
the most critical of examinations, but it will only produce precisely 
the memories and evidence written inside it. While it appears to 
prejudice the court against the "guilty" party, this is not foolproof. 
Nonetheless, successfully employed, SCP-141 is an almost surefire 
conviction. Even in the event of exoneration, "guilty" subjects will 
often still be ostracized and viewed as guilty by influenced witnesses 
and law enforcement personnel, who may in some cases [DATA 
REDACTED]. 


Addendum [SCP-141a]: Tests are ongoing to determine if SCP-141 
is capable of exonerating an innocent man wrongly convicted, or if 
changing the results during the trial has any measurable effect. 
Approval to employ SCP-141 in a "test case" is pending. 


Addendum [SCP-141b]: Following [DATA REDACTED], all test 
cases involving Foundation disciplinary hearings or implicating 
members of the Foundation other than D-Class personnel without 
signed waivers from the "guilty" subject are hereby forbidden by O5- 
. Violation of this new security protocol shall be dealt with harshly.

SCP-142: One-Armed Bandit 


Item #: SCP-142 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-142 is to be kept locked in 
an accessible room with the following: 


* 1 table with surface area no smaller than 75 cm by 75 cm 

* 1 stool of adjustable height 

* 1 wall clock, electric, to be kept visible and running at all times 
when SCP-142 is in use 


Access to SCP-142 is permitted only with express written consent of 
Dr. or other level 4 personnel. Staff assigned to SCP-142 must 
not have any personal or family history of compulsive gambling nor 
gambling addiction. Staff assigned to SCP-142 are not to make any 
physical contact with the device under any circumstances. 


Description: SCP-142 closely resembles a 1940’s “Black Beauty” 
slot machine, as produced by the Mill corporation during that era. 
The only observed irregularity in the external construction of 
SCP-142 is found in the coin slot of the device, which has been 
modified to accept any item that will fit in a cylindrical space 5.00 cm 
in length and 2.45 cm in in diameter. 


When any object of appropriate size (hereafter referred to as “the 
bet”) is dropped into the input chute of SCP-142, the device may be 
operated as is customary for a slot machine of this model. Should 
the tumblers come to rest in a losing configuration, the bet is lost 
and cannot be recovered. However, in the event that the tumblers 
come to rest in a winning configuration, between 2 and 200 
indistinguishably identical copies of the bet are dispensed from the 
output chute of the machine. In the event that the bet consists of 
multiple objects, the output of the device (if any) consists of a 
random assortment of duplicates of the wagered items. Test data 


reveals the median payout from winning configurations to be 10 
items, regardless of the number of items inserted. 


Human subjects allowed to interact with SCP-142 are affected by 
the object in three unique stages. Stage 1 begins immediately upon 
direct or indirect physical contact with the lever of the device. 
Subjects demonstrate mild giddiness and demonstrate a greatly 
diminished sense of the passage of time. If the subject has not 
exhausted the supply of betting material after 28-34 minutes of play, 
he or she will gradually enter the next stage. Subjects at stage 2 
appear compelled to bet larger and larger quantities of provided 
betting items (5-20% of remaining material) until supplies are 
exhausted. Subjects also express the delusion that they are winning 
more frequently as a result of their altered betting strategy. In spite 
of this belief, the frequency of payout seems to be somewhat 
reduced at this stage. 


Stage 3 begins once all of the subject’s betting material is lost, 
typically 10-12 minutes following the onset of stage 2 if no additional 
betting material is provided to the subject by a third party. Subjects 
at this stage express a strong aversion to SCP-142 and will not 
continue to operate the device unless compelled with physical force. 
Subjects also express a moderate aversion to any action which 
would cause an object to pass through a hole, and express a strong 
irrational fear that they will “waste” or “lose” something should they 
engage in the offending activities. Specific examples vary by 
subject, but include: passing through doorways; placing objects into 
cabinets, bags, or any other storage medium; use of sinks, showers, 
or other plumbing fixtures with drains; removing and/or putting on 
clothing; sexual intercourse; and, most commonly, eating. Roughly 
62% of subjects that reach stage 3 will expire due to starvation or 
malnutrition unless actively compelled to eat or provided nutrients 
through other means. 


Any subject restrained or otherwise removed from interaction with 
SCP-142 during stage 1 will recover in full within one hour. 
However, stage 2 subjects separated from the device will enter 
stage 3, and the effects of stage 3 have proven permanent in all 
cases. Subjects in stage 3 should be terminated at the conclusion of 
each experiment. 


SCP-142 was recoveredon // from an abandoned antique 
dealership in , Ohio, following a tip from . Records from 
that area indicate that the shop owner died of starvation roughly five 
years prior to retrieval of the device. 


Addendum 142-1: On // inthe course of an approved 
experiment, SCP-142 was temporarily disassembled and each piece 
catalogued. The construction of SCP-142 proved unsurprising for a 
slot machine of this make and model, with two exceptions. 
Component 142-0046, the lever of the device, was found to contain 
several unexpected alloys, including [DATA EXPUNGED]. Contact 
with the lever has no effect when it is not connected to the rest of 
the apparatus. Additionally, as mentioned previously, the coin slot of 
the device is extensively modified to accept objects larger than 
coins. The most notable element of the custom chute is component 
142-0524, a small chamber composed of thin pewter plates. 
142-0524 appears to serve as both the holding mechanism for 
betting material and the dispenser for payouts. The means of 
interaction between this component and the rest of SCP-142 is 
unclear; however, due to the highly fragile construction of 
component 142-0524 and its presumed relationship to the device’s 
duplication properties, further examination is prohibited without O5 
consent. 


Addendum 142-2: With the permission of O5- , personnel may now 
submit appropriate materials to be used with SCP-142 for potential 
multiplication. Requests should be submitted in writing to Dr.

SCP-143: The Bladewood Grove 


Item #: SCP-143 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-143 is to be contained in 
the valley adjacent to Bio-Research Area-12, an area over 2 km?. 
Area surrounding SCP-143 for up to 20 km, and all lines of sight 
from the surrounding hilltops, are to be denied public access. 
SCP-143 is to be watered twice every day on a regular basis via a 
large sprinkler system, unless already watered by local precipitation. 
Personnel are not allowed to enter the enclosure without Level 4 
administrative clearance, and are advised not to touch any of 
SCP-143, nor stand beneath them unless wearing proper protective 
gear. It is important that no one be within the containment area 
when SCP-143 begins to shed, however after the shedding has 
concluded, the collection of the fallen petals for testing purposes has 
been authorized by the project director (see SCP-143 Testing Log). 


Description: SCP-148 is a plantation of 300 specimens of a unique 
type of tree. The trees are similar in appearance to Prunus x 
yedoensis (Japanese Sakura), or cherry blossoms. They bear no 
fruit, and the only known way of reproduction is by careful "own root" 
propagation using cut saplings from an older sample. 


The petals are a light pinkish color, slightly translucent, and with a 
texture of smooth glass. Care must be taken when handling the 
petals, as their edges are razor sharp, and can easily slice through 
flesh if mishandled. 


The wood and bark are a light grayish color, with a texture expected 
of wood, although the grain is very smooth to the touch. 


However, the petals and wood of these trees are much harder than 
most natural or man-made substances, reaching up to 5,000 HB on 
the Brinell scale, and withstanding temperatures of up to 1800°C. 


The weight-to-strength ratio surpasses even that of titanium, being 
some fifteen percent (15%) lighter than aluminum. Despite this 
hardness, the wood and petals are quite supple and are as pliable 
as most woods are. 


Both are notoriously difficult to work due to their properties, but 
under high temperatures, upwards of 1500°C, separate pieces are 
capable of being fused together. They make excellent armor, 
shielding, and weapons. Due to the slow growth of the plants, the 
material is slow to harvest, although the petals are shed regularly 
enough, falling from the trees twice every year. 


Addendum 143-1: The trees were grown on-site from saplings 
obtained from parent plants located in Nara Prefecture, Japan, in 
1905. The parent trees were owned by a family of traditionalist 
swordsmiths, claiming to be descended from a legendary sword 
maker named Amakuni. They referred to the original trees as "jinki 
no kodachi" (J]7K M7KXZ), or the "Bladewood Grove." It is from them 
that the Foundation gained the techniques to cut and work the wood 
and petals into serviceable items. 


The original trees are still in Japan, owned by the government, and 
still tended to by the same family. However, the government has 
denied all existence of the trees, and any products made from them 
are kept within the country. 


Document 143-A: We lost three staff to 143 today. They were 
collecting petals dropped by the trees the previous day, when a 
sudden gust picked up, shaking a good deal of the petals from the 
trees and blowing them around. Stayed that windy for the whole day. 
I'd send a cleanup crew, but it's still pretty windy and the odd petal is 
still falling. We'll have to pick up the remains when the wind dies 
down in a couple days.

SCP-143 Testing Log 


SCP-143 TESTING LOG 


Notes: The following tests were conducted shortly after the second 
bi-yearly shedding of petals produced by SCP-143 occurred. 


Log Format 


Item: 
Procedure: 
Results: 
Notes: 


Item: SCP-457 

Procedure: Petals taken from SCP-143 were introduced 
to SCP-457 to test their heat resistance against heat 
sources of anomalous origins. The use of gasoline to act 
as an accelerant was authorized during this test. 
Results: SCP-457 maintained an average temperature 
of 870°C without the use of an accelerant. At this 
temperature, SCP-143 showed no signs of igniting. 
Gasoline was provided to SCP-457 at a rate of 2 liters 
per minute to increase its core temperature. At 1500°C 
the petals became red hot and were determined to be 
pliable. Gasoline continued to be provided to SCP-457 
until its core temperature reached 1800°C, at which time 
SCP-143 began to display signs of igniting. At 1850°C, 
SCP-143 ignited and fused together. The sprinkler 
system connected to SCP-457's containment chamber 
was then activated. 

Notes: Following the results yielded from testing, 
requests to use SCP-143 have been approved for use in 
producing armor, shielding, and weapons for Foundation 


personnel. Further testing with SCP-143 and non- 
anomalous heat sources yielded the same results as 
testing with SCP-457, thus suggesting that the melting 
point of SCP-143 is 1800°C. Further testing with 
SCP-143 and other heat sources of anomalous origins is 
currently pending approval. Due to the results gathered 
during testing, the sprinkler system inside of SCP-457's 
containment chamber has since been reinforced using 
SCP-143. 


Item: SCP-890 

Procedure: SCP-890 was provided with a set of hand 
crafted scalpels produced with the petals taken from 
SCP-143. SCP-890 was then instructed to operate ona 
HP brand copy machine that had short circuited the 
week prior. An identical machine with a similar electrical 
problem was also given to SCP-890 along with a set of 
standard scalpels. SCP-890 was instructed to preform 
two separate operations using the different set of tools 
and provide feedback on the differences of the 
procedures. 


Access Testing Results 


SCP-143/SCP-890 


INITIAL TESTING 


Item being used: One HP PageWide Pro 477 
copy machine 

Internal part(s) needing to be repaired: 
Wiring and circuit board 

Tools being utilized: Scalpels produced 
using SCP-143 

Procedure start time: 06:00 


Initial procedure: SCP-890 began the 
procedure by making a 7cm incision into the 


back panel of the copy machine. After 
exposing the wires and circuit board, SCP-890 
quickly identified the faulty wires and began to 
extract them. After disconnecting the wires 
from the circuit board, SCP-890 removed the 
the circuit board by making four small incisions 
on the sides of the object. Once removed, 
SCP-890 replaced the circuit board with a new 
one and proceeded to remove the defective 
wires by slicing them with the scalpels 
produced with SCP-143. SCP-890 effectively 
rewired the circuit board, and proceeded to 
place the portion of the back panel of the copy 
machine back into place before stitching the 
area closed, ending the procedure. 


Results: The procedure lasted thirty five 
minutes before concluding. After three hours 
the copy machine used in this experiment was 
deemed fully operational. 


Item being used: One HP PageWide Pro 477 
copy machine 

Internal part(s) needing to be repaired: 
Wiring and circuit board 

Tools being utilized: Scalpels taken from the 
medical wing of Site-17, produced by” - 
Morton Ltd. 

Procedure start time: 11:30 


Initial procedure: SCP-890 began the 
procedure by making a series of incisions 
along the back panel of the secondary copy 
machine. As SCP-890 began to lift the severed 
portion from the machine, additional cuts were 
necessary in order to completely separate the 
piece from the main body. Once removed, 
SCP-890 studied the interior of the copy 
machine for several moments before removing 


another section of paneling from the interior. At 
which time, SCP-890 identified the faulty 
wiring in the copy machine and began to use 
the standard set of scalpels to remove the 
wires. Several cuts were needed to completely 
sever the wires from the main circuit board. 
When the wires were disposed of, SCP-890 
proceeded to remove the circuit board with a 
series of nine large incisions made not only to 
the circuit board itself, but the surrounding 
area that was connected to the circuit board. 
After removal, SCP-890 replaced the circuit 
board and wires without further hindrance, and 
successfully replaced the back panel, ending 
the procedure. 


Results: The procedure lasted three hours 
and six minutes before concluding. After an 
additional eighteen hours the copy machine 
used in this experiment was deemed fully 
operational. 


Notes: Any further testing completed with SCP-890 is to 
be documented extensively and the objects involved in 
the testing process are to be monitored until such a time 
that they are deemed fully functional. 


Access Statement Made by SCP-890 


SCP-890: The first surgery went swimmingly. | 
was able to perform the surgery quickly, and 
I've significantly increased the lifespan of my 
patient. Their recovery went marvelously and 
they were able to bounce back from the 
surgery almost immediately. The second 
patient was a bit more challenging. While their 
injury was the same as my previous patient, it 
took several passes in order for me to locate, 
identify, and replace the source of the injury. It 


was also significantly harder to replace the 
injured organ during the second surgery, 
during the previous operation the arteries cut 
like butter under the blade but during the 
second | had to make numerous incisions that 
would have otherwise been unnecessary. | 
suspect an extended recovery time for that 
patient will be necessary. 


Notes: SCP-890 has been given permission to utilize the 
scalpels produced using SCP-143 in all future 
procedures that may occur. Production of other medical 
tools crafted using SCP-143 for use within the 
Foundation is currently pending approval after clinical 
testing is conducted. 


Item: SCP-1006 

Procedure: A small portion of the SCP-1006 colony was 
taken to SCP-143. Researchers established contact with 
the leader of SCP-1006's colony in order to inform it of 
the test and to prevent further discourse with the 
SCP-1006 colony and Foundation personnel. 

Results: The colony of SCP-1006 took up residence in 
the largest branch of SCP-143 and quickly established a 
network of webs reaching the outermost portion of the 
branch. The established web was infused with petals 
taken from SCP-143 and as a result, the overall structure 
of the network proved to be much sturdier than previous 
webs made by SCP-1006 and required less repairs. The 
number of insects that were captured in the web 
remained steady and proved to be sufficient to maintain 
the members of the SCP-1006 colony. During the 
duration of the test, the SCP-1006 colony began to 
weave sheets of web using SCP-143. The colony was 
then presented with a bottle of black ink. 


The larger sheets of web produced by SCP-1006 
contained spaces in the webbing that were in the form of 
letters taken from the English alphabet. The smaller, 
blank sheets of web that SCP-1006 had produced were 


then placed underneath the larger sheets. The 
SCP-1006 colony then began to work in unison to apply 
the black ink to the web. This was done by tipping the 
bottle of ink over and also by members of the SCP-1006 
colony coating their bodies in ink and applying it in the 
spaces formed in the larger sheets of webbing. Once 
completed, this process was continued until one dozen 
exact copies of SCP-1006's correspondence were made. 
The contents of the letters all called for the 
dismantlement of western society and capitalist 
governments. When offered white poster board in place 
of the sheets created with the web infused with 
SCP-143, the SCP-1006 colony refused to use the 
poster board and continued to utilize its new method of 
communication. 


Notes: After testing concluded, the small colony in 
SCP-143 was taken back to the main SCP-1006 colony 
and petals from SCP-143 were provided to SCP-1006 for 
use within its web and for further communication 
purposes. 


Item: SCP-1030 

Procedure: Petals taken from SCP-143 were integrated 
into SCP-1030 in order to determine how long it would 
take for the petals to corrode. 

Results: SCP-1030 exhibited signs of obvious 
discomfort eight hours after initial ingratiation with 
SCP-143. At this time, SCP-1030 began to slam its 
"hands", which were composed of various pieces of 
scrap metal at the time of testing, onto the walls of its 
containment chamber. SCP-1030 was then presented 
with a pile of assorted scrap metal and wires and 
SCP-143 was ejected from SCP-1030. SCP-143's shape 
had not changed, though each individual petal bore the 
mark of SCP-1030, and displayed obvious signs of wear. 
The sharp edge on each individual petal was also noted 
to be significantly duller after its expulsion from 
SCP-1030. No other additional changes were initially 
present. 


SCP-143 became animate thirty minutes after being 
expelled from SCP-1030. At which time, the petals from 
SCP-143 began to move on their volition and take the 
form of a small cyclone, rotating at a speed of 5km an 
hour. SCP-1030 exhibited no interest in SCP-143 and 
personnel were able to successfully remove SCP-143 
from the containment chamber. The petals used in this 
experiment were placed in a low value item locker at the 
site of original testing. Two days after being stored, the 
petals ceased rotation and have since become 
inanimate. SCP-1030 has not expressed any knowledge 
of this change. 


Notes: Standard metalloids presented to SCP-1030 for 
self-repair were typically ejected after a period of time 
ranging between 30 minutes and three hours, at which 
time the metalloids would either be highly corroded or 
almost entirely dissolved. Due to the prolonged period of 
time that SCP-143 was able to be integrated into 
SCP-1030 and the limited amount of corrosion that 
appeared on SCP-148 after being ejected, requests to 
use SCP-143 as a more efficient source of self-repair 
material for SCP-1030 has since been approved. 


Item: SCP-1048 

Procedure: REQUEST FOR TESTING DENIED. 
Results: Null. 

Notes: Several weeks prior to the first appearance of 
SCP-1048-A, SCP-1048 approached a researcher at 
Site-24, the initial site responsible for containment of 
SCP-148, and provided a hand drawn picture to the 
researcher. The picture depicted SCP-1048 standing 
underneath a tree surrounded by petals. The researcher 
in question denied SCP-1048's request and due to the 
events that occurred afterward, any testing with any 
SCP-1048 instance and SCP-143 is strictly forbidden. 
The petals that are produced by SCP-143 are not 
currently thought to be the material that SCP-1048-C is 
composed of. Further testing, contingent on the 
containment of SCP-1048-C, is required. 


Item: SCP-1100 

Procedure: SCP-143 was introduced to the aerosol 
produced by SCP-1100. This test was conducted in a 
controlled setting at Bio Containment Site-71. 

Results: Thirty seconds after initial exposure had 
occurred, automated testing of the petals revealed that 
their hardness, as well as sharpness, had increased, 
reaching 6,500 HB on the Brinell scale. An automated 
toxicology test was then conducted on SCP-143 and 
revealed that the toxicity levels of the petals had 
surpassed any substance currently known. When 
exposed to the living tissue of a Sus scrofa domesticus! 
the toxin caused total cell death of the organism on a 
molecular level. This event took place over 
approximately fifteen seconds of exposure. During this 
process, mitochondrial swelling, cytoplasm vacuolization, 
and swelling of the nucleus and cytoplasm were all 
documented before total death of the cells occurred. This 
level of toxicity is the highest documented of all 
instances of SCP-1100. 

Notes: Due to the results gathered during testing, the 
petals used in this experiment are permanently kept at 
the site of original testing. No further testing with 
SCP-143 and SCP-1100 is to be conducted. 


Item: SCP-2467 

Procedure: A 7 meter long fiberglass boat carrying 15kg 
of SCP-143 was launched from the SCPS Sunderland 
unmanned and remotely controlled by personnel aboard 
the main ship. Upon entering the 5km radius of 
SCP-2467, heavy rain began to fall and wind speeds 
reaching 40km an hour were documented. Waves, 
measuring 4m high, pushed the boat carrying SCP-143 
until SCP-2467 was in sight and the crew of SCP-2467 
was able to attach a line to the smaller vessel. After 
using the crane on SCP-2467 to raise the smaller vessel, 
the ship's crew hoisted the cargo crates carrying 
SCP-143 onto the deck of the ship and began to use 
SCP-143 to reinforce the hull of SCP-2467. 

Results: After three hours had passed, SCP-143 began 


to rot at an accelerated rate. Due to the short period of 
time that this occurred in, the rotting caused severe 
structural damage to the hull of the ship, resulting in four 
large, approximately 40cm in length, cracks to appear on 
the left side of the hull where SCP-143 had been 
integrated. Crew members on SCP-2467 quickly began 
to remove SCP-143, exhibiting obvious signs of distress 
and agitation as they did so. SCP-143, when severed 
from the hull of SCP-2467, was subsequently thrown 
overboard and the fiberglass from the 7m boat was 
utilized in its place. Observation efforts from the SCPS 
Sunderland further reported witnessing the crew of 
SCP-2467 continue to act in a distressed manner 
whenever they approached the hull of SCP-2467. This 
effect continued for a period of twelve hours, after which 
time the crew on SCP-2467 returned to normal behavior. 
No further changes have since been documented. 
Notes: After testing had concluded, petals taken from 
SCP-143 were exposed to oceanic salt water for a period 
of eight hours. Over the course of the secondary 
experiment, SCP-143 exhibited no signs of deteriorating 
and after being extracted from the salt water, displayed 
no signs of obvious wear. Whether SCP-143 hada 
negative reaction to SCP-2467 or whether materials 
integrated into SCP-2467 have an increased rate of 
deterioration is currently unknown. 


Item: SCP-2968 

Procedure 1: Bark taken from SCP-143 was used to 
create a 3m long replica of a school bus. Afterward, the 
item was presented to the SCP-2968 colony. 

Results: The SCP-2968 colony did not acknowledge 
SCP-143. Attempts made by Foundation personnel to 
change this result were unsuccessful. SCP-143 was 
successfully removed from SCP-2968's containment 
chamber without incident. 


Procedure 2: The replica bus produced using SCP-143 
was covered in silver paint before being presented to the 
SCP-2968 colony. 


Results: The SCP-2968 colony immediately took notice 
of SCP-143 and the largest of the SCP-2968 instances 
approached SCP-143. The SCP-2968 instance 
proceeded to attempt to ingest SCP-143 by raising the 
replica underneath its hood before the seam closed once 
more. After thirty seconds, the instance of SCP-2968 
expelled SCP-143 whole and still in tact. No visible 
damage to SCP-143 was documented. Additional 
instances of SCP-2968 attempted to ingest SCP-143, 
however the results were unchanged. SCP-143 was 
successfully removed from SCP-2968's containment 
chamber after steel was provided to the SCP-2968 
colony. SCP-2968 instances that attempted to digest 
SCP-143 produced 20% more waste product in the 
following 24 hours than usual. Metals that were typically 
able to be digested by SCP-2968 were expelled from its 
body, an action atypical of SCP-2968. The expelled 
materials were partially digested, but in all instances, 
retained at least 30% of their original mass. 


Over the next 24 hours, the effected instances of 
SCP-2968 refused to eat and became increasingly 
sluggish, only moving when prompted to by other 
instances. At this time, the effected instances were 
individually quarantined, and SCP-890 was granted 
authorization to examine the instances. SCP-890 
examined three instances of SCP-2968 and determined 
that the hatch on the bottom of the instances had 
malfunctioned due to heavy damage sustained to the 
mechanisms that operate the hatch, causing it to fall 
open periodically. SCP-890 was given access to 
replacement parts for the instances and successfully 
replaced both the hinges and springs that were damaged 
during testing. 


SCP-890 then proceeded to examine the additional four 
instances of SCP-2968 that had come into direct contact 
with SCP-143. SCP-890 determined that the remaining 
four instances of SCP-2968 had partial "stomach 
blockages" and requested to remove the offending 


pieces of SCP-1432. The request was subsequently 
granted. Using standard, steel scalpels3, SCP-890 was 
able to remove the remnants of SCP-143 from the 
instances of SCP-2968's engines. 2 kilograms of 
SCP-143 were recovered during this process, though 
how they were retained by SCP-2968 instances is 
currently unknown. 


After 24 hours had passed after each set of operations, 
the SCP-2968 instances exhibited no further 
complications from testing. Why the instances effected 
by SCP-143 exhibited the same complications, despite 
having varying mechanical issues, has yet to be 
determined. 


Notes: No further testing between SCP-143 and 
SCP-2968 is to be conducted. 


Item: SCP-2849 

Procedure: During decontamination procedures, it was 
found that several rooms within SCP-2849 were 
inaccessible due to the massive condensed deceased 
biomass. After several conventional and anomalous 
attempts to clear it, SCP-143 edged cutting tools were 
requisitioned. 

Results: After several failed attempts, it was found that 
exerting leverage could cause the enhanced tools to 
disrupt the biomass' structural integrity. Sonic generators 
were used to dissolve the structures after their integrity 
was weakened. 

Notes: Research into using SCP-143 as standard kit 
piece for exploration or sample gathering from or into 
anomalous tissue-based structures is ongoing. 


Footnotes 

1. Commonly referred to as the domesticated pig 

2. Due to the lack of documented damage on the replica bus 
constructed out of SCP-143, how pieces of SCP-143 remained in 
the instances’ stomachs is currently unknown 

3. Due to the negative results gathered during the test between 
SCP-143 and SCP-2968 instances, the scalpels provided to 


SCP-890 produced with SCP-143 were not authorized to be used 
during this procedure 


SCP-144: Tibetan Rope to Heaven 


Item #: SCP-144 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-144 requires the presence 
of only one Foundation observer to monitor and issue updates on 
the condition of SCP-144. The Tibetan Buddhist monks who 
maintain the site live in solitude and secrecy. A heavy mist 
condenses around the small mountain that hosts SCP-144, which 
itself resides in a small valley between two greater mountains, 
Mount [DATA EXPUNGED] and [DATA EXPUNGED]. This mist is 
present most of the year and the thin rope itself is only fairly visible 
to the human eye within a distance of 3 km. Air travel within a 70 km 
radius has been restricted with the cooperation of the Chinese 
government. 


Description: Located in a monastery atop a small Tibetan 
mountain, SCP-144 is a thin, taut hempen rope, only 1.2 cm thick, 
attached to a ring of jade bound to the floor of an atrium in the 
temple (known as "Base Camp" amongst researchers). The other 
end of SCP-144 extends straight upward many kilometers up into 
the sky to a yet-to-be-explored satellite in geostationary orbit above 
the Earth at an altitude of about 39 km (over 22 miles away, known 
as "the Summit" amongst researchers). 


Several times a year, a monk of the temple ascends up the rope 
several hundred meters in a ritual of spiritual enlightenment. The 
monks report that to this day, only one person by the name of 
[DATA EXPUNGED] has ever been killed during the ascension. 
Throughout the centuries, several climbers have disappeared, yet 
the monks believe that one day they will return, bringing greater 
understanding and enlightenment with them. 


Carbon dating of rope fibers put SCP-144 at just over 1400 years 
old. Foundation anthropologists believe that the rope and the 


tradition of climbing it began within the rituals of an ancient, dead 
religion before Emperor Songtsan Gampo brought Buddhism to 
Tibet. At that time, it is believed that the rope was several kilometers 
longer. The attendant monks say that the jade ring was added in the 
early 9th century by the Ralpacan to keep seasonal winds from 
picking up the rope and swinging it throughout the country side. 
Several times a year, the head monks untie the rope from the loop 
of jade and reposition the knot. Research has shown that in recent 
years, the rope has moved skyward at a rate of about 180 cm per 
year and is slightly accelerating at a rate of a hundredth of a 
centimeter/year?. With only a few hundred meters of rope left, the 
monks are unsure of what do to when it reaches the end. Some 
hope to add length by attaching separate sections of rope to the 
original, while others believe that new rope won't have the strength 
of the old. 


Research has been unable to explain how plant fiber rope has been 
able to survive 1400 years and maintain such tensile strength at 
such extreme temperatures and conditions of the upper atmosphere 
and space that people are able to climb it, let alone support its own 
enormous weight against itself (all 39 km worth of rope). If the 
Summit is accelerating away from earth, its pull on SCP-144 is also 
unexplained. 


The Summit has only been properly imaged by ground-based 
telescopes, which show the rope of SCP-144 going up and over the 
edge of a large asteroid-like rock, several hundred meters in width. 
Satellites have been unable to picture the opposite ("Dark") side of 
the Summit. It has been reasoned that orbiting satellites are 
designed to image ground-based locations or distant space objects 
at much greater distances than other neighboring orbital satellites. 
Researchers disagree about why images of the dark side of the 
Summit return blurry and unfocused, rendering the dark side 
unknown. 


Addendum #144-4: Several class D personnel were offered 
immediate release if they were to climb to the summit, if possible, 
and return. While multiple warnings were issued by the monks 
attending the rope, no resistance was offered. 


Of the 6 personnel who accepted, 4 returned to Base Camp 


complaining of difficulty breathing and lack of air, 1 slammed into 
Base Camp at terminal velocity, presumably after losing his grip 
from fatigue, and the last has not yet returned.

SCP-145: Man-Absorbing Phone 


Item #: SCP-145 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-145 is to remain inside its 
room at all times in a .5m x .5m x .5m plexiglass container unless 
being studied. Room is to be thoroughly soundproofed and securely 
locked when studies of SCP-145 are not in progress. Under no 
circumstances shall any personnel come into physical contact with 
SCP-145 without being accompanied and constantly observed by 
one or more other personnel unless conducting testing with proper 
authorization. Any personnel showing signs of intense psychological 
trauma must be immediately escorted out of the containment area. 
Depending on the level of trauma of affected personnel, they may be 
required to submit to consultation with an approved psychiatrist for 
no less than two weeks. 


Description: SCP-145 appears to be a standard 2002-model 
cordless telephone handset of Alcatel brand on its standard issue 
charging base. The charging base appears defaced; all jack inputs 
are sealed with resin glue and the power input to the device has 
been gouged out with an unknown sharp tool. Serial number and 
production date are unavailable as all labels and stickers have been 
ripped off or defaced. The phone rings constantly whether it is on 
the base or not regardless of the lack of power source. Tests have 
shown the battery is removable, and disassembly of the base has 
not shown any effect on the hand unit. The hand unit itself has had 
all the seams sealed, preventing conventional disassembly. When 
answered a female voice speaks on the phone in a voice that shows 
high levels of stress. This voice varies from conversation to 
conversation, but in all cases the voice expresses extreme panic, 
and proceeds to plead with the listener for assistance as she 
describes instances of torture conducted on unknown victims. In the 
background, the listener will hear sounds of violence and 


expressions of pain and anguish. Audio analysis has so far indicated 
at least individual voices over disparate calls. The methods of 
torture implied thus far (judging from the phrases and reactions of 
those speaking at the time of contact) have included branding, 
electrocution, laceration, sexual assault, [DATA EXPUNGED] and 
dismemberment. 


The callers appear to be non-automated and entirely sentient. 
Attempts to trace the call or track down the location of the tortured 
callers have proven unsuccessful thus far. Attempts to block the 
signal of the phone with the use of a Faraday cage have also been 
unsuccessful. 


Research is conducted in teams of at least three (one Class D staff, 
one Class 2/145 audio technician, and one Class 3 security staff), 
with only Class D staff permitted to have direct auditory contact with 
SCP-145's transmissions. Testing has shown that in 100% of cases, 
a subject answering SCP-145 without live supervision will vanish 
without any indications of transportation methods. Video recording 
devices do not show the method of transport; the subject will be 
present in one frame and absent in the next. In case of 
disappearance, the phone will simply fall to the floor. The phone 
does not appear to have sustained damage from any of these falls 
thus far. Subsequent communication with the object has revealed 
that vanished subjects join the group of torture victims. 


Testing Log 

Testing Procedure: All tests will be conducted with D-Class 
personnel. Any issued equipment for the test must be recorded in 
the log. The D-Class personnel will then be ordered to pick up the 
phone. After disappearance of initial test subject the above standard 
research team will answer the phone and record any observations. 


Test 145-A 

Date: \ \ 

Subject: D-145-3749 issued one (1) GPS Locator Device, testing to 
attempt to ascertain the location described at the other end of the 
line. 

Result: GPS rendered non-functional after disappearance of D- 
Class personnel. On following interaction with SCP-145 audio 
technician identifies voice of D-145-3749 has joined other victims. 


Test 145-B 

Date: \ \ 

Subject: D-145-4751 issued one (1) GPS Locator Device, one (1) 6” 
standard issue military combat knife. Second attempt to ascertain 
the location described at the other end of the line, self-defense 
option provided to subject. 

Result: GPS rendered non-functional after disappearance of D- 
Class personnel. On following interaction with SCP-145 female 
voice indicates continued stress and states, “Oh god, he’s cutting 
him, he’s cutting off [DATA EXPUNGED]” Audio technician then 
identifies voice of D-145-4751 has joined other victims. 


Test 145-C 

Date: \ \ 

Subject: D-145-5319 issued one (1) 9mm semi-automatic pistol, 
one (1) Kevlar vest, subject compelled to pick up phone. Attempt to 
determine interactivity of location, determine if any self-defense 
method is possible. 

Result: On following interaction with SCP-145 gunshots are heard, 
then [DATA EXPUNGED]. Female voice resumes, states [DATA 
EXPUNGED] and additional gunshots are heard, audio technician 
identifies D-145-5319 exclamations of pain after each gunshot. 


Test 145-D 

Date: \ \ 

Subject: D-145-6842 issued one kg C4 explosive concealed in 
supply kit, explosive attached to remote trigger with 30-second 
delay, triggered before interaction with SCP-145. Attempt to 
determine any possible level of interaction or destruction of location. 
Result: [DATA EXPUNGED] resulted in Foundation personnel 
missing including Dr. and all researchers associated with [DATA 
EXPUNGED] breaches of SCP security at Site . Further testing of 
this nature suspended at this time. 


| don’t know who thought this might be a good idea. | know 
sometimes we let sympathy get the better of us, but this attempt to 
bring ‘relief’ to SCP-145’s victims just cost the Foundation a lot of 
money and resources.

SCP-146: Bronze Head of Shame 


Item #: SCP-146 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Containment procedures have 
been revised after it was noted that the effects of SCP-146 were 
sharply and dangerously increased under previous containment (a 
standard one-half (0.5) meter cubed secure-storage bin). The bin 
should remain free, however, should a researcher wish to test 
SCP-146 at high intensity. Level 3 clearance is required for any 
personnel wishing to enclose or cover SCP-146 for a period 
exceeding two days. 


During normal storage, SCP-146 is to be kept on a marble pedestal 
in its storage room, located [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-146's 
standard storage room measures no less than twenty (20) square 
meters, with stuccoed walls and a ceiling painted to resemble a 
clear daytime sky. The room is to be kept well-lit (full daylight 
equivalent) at all times, furnished with an assortment of potted 
plants (which must be tended to daily), and decorated in the style of 
the Late Republican period of Rome (c. 120-80 BCE). 
Experimentation with different interior styles has shown that 
SCP-146 seems to prefer this arrangement and to have aesthetic 
preferences consistent with the aristocracy of Rome from that era. 
While this containment is standard, researchers with clearance 
Level 2 or higher may experiment with different containment settings 
in order to modify the effects of SCP-146. 


While SCP-146 is non-motile and therefore requires little security 
itself, personnel entering its containment area or handling it in any 
way must not make eye contact with SCP-146. Any attempts to 
cover SCP-146 in order to prevent eye-contact is prohibited, as this 
has been shown to increase SCP-146's effect at an unpredictable 
rate. In general, one (1) day of covering or confinement will cause 
SCP-146 to skip over the beginning phase of its effect and begin 


with the most traumatic memories. After three (3) days, SCP-146 
has been shown to produce its effect without having to make direct 
eye-contact first. After seven (7) days, the effect of SCP-146 is both 
far more intense and no longer confined to subjects within 
SCP-146's field of vision. Researchers in an adjacent room were 
affected and one was permanently [DATA REDACTED]. Permission 
to experiment beyond seven (7) days is denied by order of O5- . 
Blinders and decorative screens are available for personnel who 
must enter SCP-146's containment area for maintenance. 


Description: SCP-146 is a hollow bronze head, apparently a 
fragment of a complete statue or bust, depicting a crowned young 
woman or perhaps an effeminate young man. The head exhibits 
severe verdigris over much of its surface. The crown of SCP-146 is 
inlaid with silver decorations, and its eyes (the apparent source of 
SCP-146's effects) are beaten silver, shined to be mildly reflective. 
To date, SCP-146 has not exhibited any signs of movement, but its 
reaction to certain decor in its containment area indicates that it may 
possess a degree of sentience, if not outright sapience. If SCP-146 
is able to communicate, it has not yet done so. 


SCP-146 exhibits the ability to access and bring to mind certain 
memories in those who initiate eye contact. These memories are 
usually tied to a sense of guilt or shame in the subject. After initial 
eye contact is made, the subject need only remain somewhere in 
SCP-146's field of vision for the memories and associated feelings 
to become more intense, although continual eye contact speeds the 
process. 


Upon initial eye contact with SCP-146, recent memories will begin to 
surface in the subject. For example, subjects who have ignored a 
friend in the hall or exceeded the speed limit will be reminded of 
these events and begin to feel mildly guilty, whether or not they 
would normally care about the event. With continued exposure to 
the gaze of SCP-146, the subject will begin to recall older and more 
vivid memories, with a corresponding increase in feelings of shame 
in the subject. Generally, after thirty (80) minutes of exposure, the 
memories will move from being vivid recollections to intense 
hallucinations, with the subject unable to distinguish the past from 
the present, or the imagined from the real. Subjects have been 


observed to regress in personality as well, particularly in cases 
where memories of childhood trauma have been brought up. Any 
test subjects exposed for over thirty (30) minutes should be 
restrained both for their own safety and the safety of others. All 
subjects to date who have been exposed to SCP-146 for sixty (60) 
minutes have completely retreated into their hallucinations; so far no 
such subject has been restored to consciousness from this near- 
catatonic state. Such subjects must be fed intravenously and are 
unresponsive to external stimuli, save for occasional murmurings 
consistent with their regression. 


It has also been noted that when subjects recall a shameful event, 
they will often feel compelled to make amends for their actions. This 
is not generally a problem in the case of minor offenses and has in 
some cases led to greater unity among the staff. However, problems 
arise when the subject cannot make amends, either because the 
offended party cannot be contacted or because the transgression is 
somehow irredeemable. Sometimes, the subject will put forth 
renewed positive efforts in order to "balance out" their guilt. 
However, in most such cases, subjects fall into a deep depression 
and/or turn to some form of self-punishment, including self-mutilation 
and suicide. Please see the attached experiment logs for detailed 
cases. 


SCP-146 was acquired from a Mr. of Birmingham, UK. Mr. 
had acquired SCP-146 during the estate sale of a renowned 
philanthropist, the late , Lord of . twas 
purchased in a lot with a number of other artifacts for £ . When 
Mr. began to experience SCP-146's effects, he began seeing a 
psychiatrist, Undercover Agent UA33-56G. Mr. was put into an 
institution and SCP-146 was taken into Foundation custody. 
UA33-56G's notes on Mr. ‘s mental state are available for study 
by researchers of Level 2 or higher, filed as Document SCP-146-A. 


Experiment Log #146-01 


In order to calibrate a baseline for SCP-146's effects, a standard 
four (4) by four (4) meter interrogation room was divided in half by 
an opaque curtain. SCP-146 was placed on a table inside a 
protective plexiglass case in one half of the room. On the other side 


of the curtain, Subject D-044323 was restrained such that he was 
looking directly at SCP-146's position. Researchers maintained 
constant communication with the subject via intercom throughout the 
testing process. 


The curtain was dropped, causing the subject to look squarely into 
the eyes of SCP-146. The subject voiced immediate discomfort and 
closed his eyes, with an increase in heartrate of 15 BPM. With 
prompting, the subject related the memories he was recalling, 
beginning with minor breaches of behavior protocol. The subject 
then recalled several altercations with other prisoners before his 
being taken by the Foundation, including a particularly graphic 
description of [DATA REDACTED]. Researchers noted that as time 
went on, the subject became more cooperative and his speech 
patterns changed, resembling someone undergoing therapeutic 
hypnosis. 


After fifteen (15) minutes, the subject's speech had become slurred 
and his EEG patterns showed similarities to someone experiencing 
vivid dreams. The subject entered into one half of a dialogue which 
culminated in his trying to break his restraints. After several minutes, 
the subject ceased thrashing and began to cry. The subject started 
begging, apparently to someone in his hallucination: "Stop. Take it 
back. Don't. | won't do it again. I'm sorry. | don't want to. Not again. 
Stop... Please..." This behavior continued until, after fifty-four (54) 
minutes of exposure to SCP-146, the subject's vocalizations halted 
and his EEG showed signs consistent with coma. After an additional 
hour, no further effects were observed, and the subject was 
removed and euthanized. Post-mortem examination of his brain 
noted abnormal levels of and - , which neuropathologist 
Dr. described as indicative of [DATA REDACTED]. 


(NOTE: At this point, SCP-146 was being kept along with the other 
artifacts purchased at auction, because it was not yet known that the 
effect was confined to SCP-146 alone. | theorize that this 
containment approximated "favorable" containment and therefore 
kept SCP-146's effect at its base strength. -Professor Skali ) 


Experiment Log #146-04 
The first experiment conducted after it was determined that 
SCP-146 consisted only of the bronze head took place after 


SCP-146 had been moved to a standard one-half (0.5) meter cubed 
storage bin where it had remained for two (2) days. Subject 
D-044784 and SCP-146 were placed on opposite sides of a curtain 
in a standard interrogation room, as in previous experiments. The 
subject was restrained as in previous experiments. When the curtain 
was dropped, the subject reported an immediate headache and 
began to cry. The subject's heartrate jumped to 180 BPM but then 
dropped rapidly to 40 BPM, and the subject lost consciousness. 
Medical personnel entered the room and began examining the 
subject, at which time the subject regained consciousness, her 
heartrate spiking to 175 BPM. The subject struggled violently 
against her restraints, and was soon able to break the restraint on 
her right arm, severely damaging her own arm and hand in the 
process. Paramedic D. was injured as the subject struck him 
in order to gain access to his first-aid kit. The subject was able to 
grab a small scalpel and jam it into her own neck before guards 
could regain control. Medical staff administered first aid, but the 
subject died during emergency surgery due to blood loss. 


(NOTE: After several similar incidents it was determined that 
SCP-146's ability was affected by its containment. Anyone wishing 
to do further research must take this into account as even brief 
accidental exposure could prove harmful. -Professor Skali )

SCP-147: Anachronistic Television 


A photograph of SCP-147 in its optimal state. A black-and-white 


camera had to be used to take this photo, as the presence of a 
modern camera triggers the hostile state. 


Item #: SCP-147 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-147 is to be kept ina 
simulacrum of a 1950s-era living room. Its current container contains 
a throw rug, two armchairs, a phonograph, a rotary telephone, and 
other suitable decorations. SCP-147 will reject any items dating from 
later than late March, 1965 (See Addendum 0-40). It requires no 
external power source or connection. 


Description: Discovered 1983 in a civilian home in Detroit, 
Michigan. SCP-147 appears to be a 1957 General Electric brand 
black-and-white television, model 17TO26. SCP-147 has been 
observed to exhibit two different behaviors: 


Optimal: When SCP-147 is in an acceptable room, it will display 
broadcasts of 1950s-era comedies, such as The Burns and Allen 
Show, Father Knows Best, and | Love Lucy. In every case, each 
broadcast has been completely unique: archives of the programs, 
none of which are still being produced, have failed to find any record 
of the episodes that SCP-147 plays. No commercials are shown, 
and there is no indication as to which station would be broadcasting 
these shows. All broadcasts are in black and white. Subjects 
exposed to SCP-147 in its optimal state reported a pleasant feeling 
of relaxation. In this state, the item's volume and channels can be 
adjusted, though the off switch appears to have no effect. 


Hostile: When modern-day items are present in SCP-147's 
environment, the item will only display extremely violent and 
gruesome color footage; beheadings, rapes, executions, and torture 
have all been observed, but as of yet no footage has been 


broadcast that indicates when or where the scenes depicted took 
place. The footage is invariably of high visual and audio quality. 
Subjects exposed to SCP-147 in its hostile state almost invariably 
vomit due to the graphic nature of the broadcasts after ten to fifteen 
seconds; one subject suffered a nervous breakdown after two 
minutes of exposure. Every subject has displayed an extreme 
reluctance to recall the contents of the broadcasts, and two out of 
the fifteen subjects tasked with viewing SCP-147's hostile 
broadcasts have since committed suicide. None of the item's 
controls respond during hostile broadcasts. 


Attempts to examine the internals of SCP-147 have been 
unsuccessful, as the item's shell resists any and all attempts to 
crack it open. Placing the item in a Faraday cage in order to negate 
any possible transmissions it could be receiving had no effect. The 
effects of long-term exposure to SCP-147 have not been 
documented. 


Addendum: Any and all recreational activities involving SCP-147 
are to be scheduled at least one week beforehand with approval by 
Level 4 personnel. 


Addendum [0-40]: See File TC-147-B for further details. After 
[DATA EXPUNGED] suggestion, several objects manufactured 
throughout the 1960s era were brought in. Objects made past March 
of the year 1965 have resulted in a hostile behavior. Exact dating is 
difficult due to troubles of obtaining materials precisely made on 
testable dates and times. Reasons as to why it acts in such a way 
depending on a specific object's date are unknown, and being tested 
by [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Addendum [0-40a]: As has been verified repeatedly, the presence 
of persons born after March 1965 does not in and of itself trigger a 
hostile event. For reasons still unknown, SCP-147 objects mainly to 
manufactured items. Dr. recently conducted an experiment 
in which he clothed himself with vintage (pre-1965) articles of 
clothing, with the caveat that he had three Bic Flair pens (invented in 
the 1970s) in his shirt pocket. What he saw while seated in front of 
SCP-147, he would later describe as "a bizarre episode of / Love 
Lucy featuring a surprising amount of gunplay." 


Addendum [1-80]: Recent tests that involved exposing convicted 
rapists and psychopaths to the object while it was hostile has 
indicated that the object is able to tailor the images to the viewer. A 
rapist was strapped into a metal chair manufactured in 1986, and 
during that time not a single rape was shown on the screen, while 
scenes of genital mutilation (primarily male) occurred more often. 
Similarly, a psychopath who had tortured someone to death saw 
fewer scenes of torture, and more scenes of botched executions.

SCP-148: The "Telekill" Alloy 


Item #: SCP-148 

Object Class: Euclid 

Special Containment Procedures: 
REVISION 3 


SCP-148 is to be stored as 120 cast ingots, each of which weighs 
approximately 10 kg at time of writing. Ingots of SCP-148 may not 
be housed at the same site as any SCP (due the potential for 
unforeseen interactions); otherwise, said ingots should be 
distributed equally among acceptable Foundation facilities. The 
mass of each contained ingot of SCP-148 must be measured and 
reported monthly. 


Under no circumstances should any SCP with mind-affecting or 
extrasensory properties come into contact with SCP-148. In the 
event of such contact, the immediate area must be evacuated and 
the affected sample of SCP-148 detonated remotely. 


Personnel are not to be assigned to SCP-148 for a period of time 
longer than three weeks. Any personnel assigned to SCP-148 are to 
be given regular psychological evaluations. 


Description: SCP-148 is a metallic substance, composed of a 
variety of known and unknown elements. The total mass of SCP-148 
on hand is approximately 1.1 1.2 tonnes. SCP-148 has a gray-green 
color with a bluish tinge and oxidizes readily in the presence of 
water. SCP-148 has a melting transition point of approximately 
4500°C and a boiling transition point of approximately 9000°C. 
SCP-148 has a density of 6.20 g/cm 6.76 g/cm? and qualifies as 
HRC 39 in a Rockwell hardness test. It exhibits material properties, 
such as strength, ductility, and workability, similar to platinum. 


SCP-148 is composed primarily of platinum and iridium, the two 
composing 62% and 20% of its mass respectively. In addition, 
several other known metals are present in its composition, including 
iron, cobalt, and copper, which collectively make up 16.5% of 
SCP-148’s mass. However, given the mass of the material, it is 
believed that there are other substances not detectable by mass 
spectrometry or other means. Images of SCP-148 taken with a 
scanning tunneling microscope show gaps in its lattice that, under 
normal circumstances, would be filled with other materials. 


SCP-148 blocks or otherwise hinders extrasensory mind-affecting 
properties of living organisms in proximity to it. This effect, while 
difficult to quantify, appears inversely proportional to the square of 
the distance from the subject to SCP-148’s surface and directly 
proportional to the quantity of SCP-148 in consideration. The range 
for which this effect is detectable is roughly 0.8 meters per kilogram 
of SCP-148. 


1.1 tonnes of SCP-148 were retrieved from the metallurgical 
department of Prometheus Labs’ base facility during the 
Foundation's sweep of the building. Documents concerned with the 
project had unveiled that the substance was to be subject to 
additional development, sold to , trademarked, and sold as 
“Telekill Alloy”. However, due to [REDACTED] and its political 
fallout, along with the destruction of the Prometheus Labs’ base 
facility, has acquired an estimated 1.3 tonnes of SCP-148 
and sold it to unknown buyers. Foundation agents and forensic 
accountants are in the process of tracking the remaining supplies of 
SCP-148. 


Addendum 148-01 

Due to its potential for use in containment of mind-affecting SCPs, 
SCP-148 has been approved for cross-testing with SCP objects. 
While tests are still in their early stages, tests with low-level 
anomalous items seem to indicate that SCP-148 will be an effective 
tool in containing said items. However, it does not appear to affect 
items whose notable properties are purely memetic. 


Addendum 148-02 
Beginning / / _ , staff reported irrational behavior and poor 
communication skills among janitorial staff tasked with regular 


maintenance of SCP-148’s containment.! After three weeks of 
increasingly abnormal behavior, two custodians were taken in for 
questioning and examination. Testing revealed that the 
aforementioned personnel were incapable of interpreting body 
language and did not appear to notice the intonation or phrasing of 
sentences. In addition, the affected subjects were incapable of 
determining the emotional state or intent of others and demonstrated 
severely limited vocabulary. 


Further testing has revealed that the language and communication 
skills of persons with regular contact or extended exposure to 
SCP-148 will, over time, deteriorate and disappear. It has been 
shown that, after eight weeks, affected subjects will be rendered 
completely mute and incapable of understanding or giving nonverbal 
requests, commands, or other statements, despite showing 
otherwise normal mental capacity. 


Addendum 148-03 

A measurement takenon // ( months after the Foundation’s 
acquisition of SCP-148) indicated that, despite no increase in 
volume, SCP-148 has increased in mass by 0.1 tonnes (a density 
increase of 9.0%). The source of this additional mass is unknown. 


Incident Report 148- -1 

To test the limits of SCP-148’s effects and its capacity to change in 
mass, 0.9 kg of it was placed on a scale and moved to SCP-__’s 
chamber. Predictably, SCP- ’s [REDACTED] was nullified by 
SCP-148’s presence. However, the sample of SCP-148 began to 
grow in mass by upwards of 5 grams per second. After one minute, 
this rate began to decrease, and SCP-148 ceased to increase in 
mass forty seconds later, at which point it weighed 1.4 kilograms. It 
remained at this mass for eight seconds before plummeting to 0.8 
kilograms in the space of two seconds. During this time, personnel 
within sixty meters (twelve times the effective range of SCP-_) 
began to experience SCP-_’s effects, albeit at a vastly increased 
rate, resulting in [DATA EXPUNGED] lockdown until the affected 
subjects could be removed. 


As of this incident, contact between SCP-148 and any mind- 
affecting items is strictly forbidden. 


Addendum 148-04 

Measurements taken since Incident 148- -1 indicate that the 
combined mass of SCP-148 is increasing at a rate of [REDACTED]. 
It is speculated that should a large quantity of SCP-148 undergo an 
event similar to the sample used in Experiment 148- , [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. Containment procedures are under review.

SCP-149: The Blood Flies 


Item #: SCP-149 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-149 in any of its instances 
is to be kept inside a sealed plexi-glass box for observation. Oxygen 
and a nutrient mist are to be released into the containment cell every 
two hours. If any instance of SCP-149 escapes its cell, Protocol-42- 
Charlie is to be brought into effect on any and all contaminated 
personnel, by order of O5-12, after Incident 149-1. 


Description: SCP-149 is a breed of mosquito which carries a strain 
of retrovirus (herein referred to as SCP-149-A) that mutates 
regenerating human cells into fertilized mosquito eggs. SCP-149-A 
is injected directly into the bloodstream when SCP-149 feeds. The 
SCP-149-A quickly works on the nucleus of the cells, warping the 
DNA. The first set of cells bred from these changed instructions 
closely resemble cysts, and are concentrated in the lining of the 
esophagus and the sinuses. Upon dissection, however, these 'cysts' 
are revealed to be filled with SCP-149's larvae, the cysts acting as a 
protective casing against external forces. SCP-149 appears to go 
through its maturation cycle in a matter of hours; by the time the 
subject is able to feel any effects, the first generation of SCP-149 
has already grown inside the subject's body. SCP-149 primarily 
achieves exodus through the mouth and nostrils, occasionally being 
diverted through the Sphenoid sinuses to escape through the eye 
sockets. Infection by SCP-149 is fatal, and chance of infection has 
been estimated to be 50% from one bite. 


Addendum: 


Incident 149-1: An incidence of SCP-149 escaped and infected 
multiple Class-D subjects, the majority of whom did not report 
SCP-149's contact with them. Within 5 hours, SCP-149 had matured 
in these hosts and burst out of them, infecting _ staff. It was only 


thanks to the quick thinking of Doctor , who sealed sub-levels 12 
through 15, that the entire site was not infected. As a response to 
this, O5 command has created Protocol-42-Charlie, to be used if 
SCP-149 escapes confinement. 


« SCP-148 | SCP-149 | SCP-150 » 


SCP-150: Ship of Theseus 


Item #: SCP-150 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-150 patients kept for 
study should be contained in Level-3 Biohazard Containment Cells, 
with no more than 1 instance per cell. Cultures of SCP-150 are 
contained in vacuum-sealed glass flasks in the Site-42 infectious 
materials lab. Standard pathogen-handling procedures should be 
followed at all times. Any instances of SCP-150 found outside of 
containment are to be incinerated. 


Description: SCP-150 is an obligate parasite that resembles the 
tongue-eating louse (Cymothoa exigua), but is adapted to form 
conjunctive symbiotic relationships with humans for a period of its 
lifespan. Upon contact with a human subject, SCP-150 embeds itself 
deeply in the flesh of its host. Over the course of approximately 
seven days, the parasite will burrow into the host and effect 
numerous physiological alterations. 


The most glaring alteration is the gradual conversion of the limb 
nearest the infection site into a chitinous appendage: as SCP-150 
consumes the host's flesh, it excretes tissue that replaces and 
augments the functionality of the host's limb without causing 
transplant rejection. It is suspected that SCP-150 is able to secrete 
anesthetic and immunosuppressant substances to prevent the 
host's body from responding to the change. Furthermore, the 
nervous tissue excreted by SCP-150 is able to interface with the 
host's nervous system. By the time the process is complete, the host 
will be able to control the affected limb with no loss in mobility and 
often with improved strength, reflexes, and resilience. 


For a period of one to two weeks, SCP-150 will reproduce, feeding 
on nutrients from and depositing eggs! into assimilated blood 
vessels. The eggs are deposited throughout the human body via the 


bloodstream - while the vast majority of them die off, enough survive 
to begin colonizing and altering the rest of the host's body. Though 
subjects report discomfort and occasional loss of motor control 
during this process, they often will not recognize the cause of said 
discomfort. It is still unclear why the offspring do not compete with 
each other for space or resources, nor how the assimilation process 
leaves the body's cell signaling mechanisms and processes 
unaffected. SCP-150 reproduces during this assimilation process: as 
the lungs are assimilated, more eggs are produced and spread by 
the patient's coughing. Although as many as 10,000 eggs may be 
produced during this time, it is estimated that only 1% of them find 
their way into another host, of which 1% survive the host's immune 
response and implant successfully. 


Although SCP-150 inevitably results in the assimilation and 
alteration of the central nervous system, including the spinal cord 
and brain, the host's consciousness and behavior are seemingly 
unaffected. Interviews with subjects infected by SCP-150 have 
yielded little information, as infected subjects unaware of SCP-150 
claim to sense no changes or improvement in certain senses and 
faculties. While subjects aware of the infection are able to pinpoint 
the source of the change, they exhibit little to no negative feelings 
and often express positivity towards it. 


Addendum 150-E: Transcript of Exploratory Leukotomy and 
Nervous Tissue Transformation Experiments 


Two D-Class subjects, D-13732 and D-016002, were infected with 
SCP-150 and allowed to progress through all stages of the infection. 
In order to examine the full effect of the infection, exploratory 
neurosurgeries were performed on both subjects. D-13732 was 
euthanized; his nervous tissue was found to have been entirely 
replaced by smaller instances of SCP-150. The instances 
comprising his brain matter were extracted and stored for 
experimentation on D-016002. 


The following decompressive craniotomy and leukotomy were 
performed by Dr. Harlan Sun, Dr. Wendy Robin, and Dr. Alex 
Harlow on D-016002. A full transcript follows. 


<Begin Log, 21:43> 


(D-016002 is partially anesthetized to numb her during 
the initial drilling of the skull. The process is uneventtul, 
though Harlow reports expecting less resistance from the 
skull while drilling into and cutting a flap from it. Upon 
removing the flap of bone and exposing the dura mater, 
numerous smaller instances of SCP-150 are observed 
lying in the cranial cavity where the brain should be. 
Harlow reports this to Robin, who alerts Sun to begin the 
interview process while she marks off areas of 
D-016002's brain on a mapping projection.) 


Dr. Sun: What is your name? 
D-016002: Mako [REDACTED]. 

Dr. Sun: Name something to sit in. 
D-016002: Chair. 

Dr. Sun: What is the color of grass? 
D-016002: Green. 

Dr. Sun: What is one plus one? 
(D-016002 pauses for a moment.) 
D-016002: Two. 


Dr. Robin: We have marked off the approximate location 
of the Wernicke's area. 


Dr. Harlow: Thank you, Doctor. Sun, | will now extract 
some of the specimens from this area. 


(Dr. Harlow carefully makes an incision into the dura 
mater and extracts some of the instances from the area 
using forceps. He places each instance into a glass vial, 
corks it, and places it on a nearby stand. Each instance 
appears to stir to life and begin wriggling only upon being 
removed. This process takes approximately ten minutes, 
during which time Sun repeatedly asks D-016002 the 


same questions. Once Harlow has extracted 
approximately 100 instances, he gestures for Sun to 
continue.) 


Dr. Sun: Name something to sit in. 
D-016002: Uh... uh, seat. 

Dr. Sun: What is the color of grass? 
D-016002: Green? 

Dr. Sun: What is one plus one? 
D-016002: ...two. 


Dr. Sun: Note for the record that D-016002's responses 
have been slightly slowed. This indicates that the 
instances within her cranial cavity are indeed acting as 
neuron analogues, though it is unclear as to how many 
neurons each instance is equivalent to. 


Dr. Harlow: | am placing a sample of neural tissue 
acquired from D-13732 into D-016002 now. The 
instances from D-13732 have been tagged with a 
radioactive luminescent dye to distinguish them for 
extraction later. 


Dr. Sun: Name something to sit in. 
D-016002: Couch. 

Dr. Sun: What is the color of grass? 
D-016002: Blue. 

Dr. Sun: What is one plus one? 
D-016002: Two. 

Dr. Sun: What is ten times eleven? 


D-016002: One-hundred-and-eleven. 


Dr. Sun: D-016002's responses have returned to normal 
speed. This suggests that it is possible for 150 nervous 
tissue to be swapped freely between host individuals 
without rejection. We will now begin the final procedure. 
D-016002, you will be given a full general anesthetic. 


(D-016002 is subjected to a general anesthetic, which 
takes several seconds to begin.) 


Dr. Sun: The patient is now under full anesthesia. Dr. 
Harlow, you may begin the process of tissue extraction. 
For this final procedure, we will be attempting to 
completely replace the brain tissue of D-016002 with that 
of D-13732. Previously, during the exploration of 
D-13732's cranial cavity, Dr. Harlow and | observed that 
the instances connecting his brain matter to his spinal 
matter were not secured in any way, and in fact seemed 
to be switching positions with other instances in the 
brain. We will be seeing how far this compatibility 
extends. 


(There is silence for the next hour as Drs. Harlow, Sun, 
and Robin remove the top of D-016002's skull and begin 
extracting her brain matter into a large glass container.) 


Dr. Sun: Extraction complete. D-016002's brain matter 
has been successfully removed. Dr. Harlow is now 
placing D-13732's brain matter into D-016002's exposed 
cranial cavity. 


(Silence for several minutes.) 


Dr. Robin: Heart rate steady. We have a pulse and 
breathing. Give it another minute... Alright. I'm going to 
wake her up. 


(There is a pause as Dr. Robin reduces the anesthesia 
and D-016002 awakens.) 


Dr. Sun: What is your name? 


D-016002: Michael [REDACTED]3. 

Dr. Harlow: (faintly heard in background) Jesus. 
Dr. Sun: Name something to sit in. 

D-016002: Beanbags. 

Dr. Sun: What is the color of grass? 

D-016002: Green. 

Dr. Sun: What is one plus one? 

(Quiet sloshing can be detected by the microphone.) 
Dr. Robin: Hey, uh, Sun — 

D-016002: Two. 

Dr. Robin: Sun, look. 


(D-016002's brain is shown to move of its own accord, 
subtly moving back and forth.) 


Dr. Harlow: Well... that's new. 
Dr. Sun: Do you feel any pain anywhere in your body? 


D-016002: My chest is kind of heavy. Feels just the 
same otherwise. 


Dr. Sun: Good to hear. Now, what is — 


D-016002: Hey, | usually feel pretty energetic, even 
before surgeries, but I'm kind of tired right now. Lately, 
I've been exercising before | sleep, but since | can't here, 
is it okay if | can just rest a little bit? 


Dr. Sun: Rest? 


D-016002: Like three, five minutes. | can do that here if 
it's okay. (A small portion of the top of D-016002's brain 


parts before making a gurgling sound. After the portion 
closes, sections of D-016002's brain retracts into itself 
rapidly. D-O16002's eyes close.) 


Dr. Sun: That doesn't seem good. (Dr. Robin steps away 
from the operation, making retching sounds as she 
leaves the room.) 


Dr. Harlow: D-016 - ah, D-13732, are you okay? 
D-016002: Yeah. (yawns) I'm fine, why do you ask?

SCP-151: The Painting 


Item #: SCP-151 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-151 should be kept in a 
locked storage compartment, covered by an opaque cloth. The keys 
to the compartment should be kept in the custody of the site 
commander when SCP-151 is not being researched. When research 
is being conducted, SCP-151 may be kept in a locked laboratory, 
provided it is always covered when not being used. 


Description: SCP-151 isa 1mx 1.3 m (3 ft x 4 ft) oil painting, 
apparently from the perspective of someone underwater. A subject 
who views the painting exhibits no initial effects. However, over a 
period of 24 hours, the subject's breathing becomes increasingly 
labored, culminating in the death of the subject. Autopsies reveal 
that subjects’ lungs have filled with seawater. Attempts to halt the 
drowning process by medical intervention have proven successful in 
prolonging the life of the subject, but have not stopped nor reversed 
the condition. 


The painting is not signed, but several names are written on the 
back. 


Addendum: SCP-151 was found in an antique shop in Ss 
after the Foundation began investigating a series of unexplained 
drowning deaths. As _ is landlocked, the Foundation dispatched a 
team of plainclothes agents after being informed of the nature of the 
water in the victims' lungs and that the victims had all been 
discovered on dry land. The agents discovered that the names 
written on the back belonged to a group of artistically inclined 
students, all of whom disappeared during a study abroad program in 

. Investigation into their fate is ongoing, and may provide clues 
as to the nature and origin of SCP-151.

SCP-152: Book of Endings 


Item #: SCP-152 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-152 is to be kept ina 
locked chamber in Site-49, henceforth referred to as the "reading 
room". The reading room is off-limits to personnel below clearance 
level 2. The reading room will be equipped with one ceiling lamp, 
one security camera, one scanner-copier-printer (to be restocked 
with paper and ink as needed), one standard office chair, and one 
standard office desk upon which SCP-152 will rest. When not in use, 
SCP-152 is to be turned to its last page, so that any additions made 
to it can be immediately observed. A single guard will be posted 
outside of the reading room to deter unauthorized persons from 
entering the reading room. All personnel are advised to remain quiet 
if they are near the reading room. 


Description: SCP-152 is a large, hardbound book with leather 
bindings. The paper inside resembles vellum and is written upon in 
black ink. The contents of the book consist entirely of a series of 
entries that describe apocalyptic events, which are not always XK- 
class end-of-the-world scenarios but invariably deal with the 
extinction of humanity. The entries are arranged in chronological 
order, beginning with an unexplained spontaneous failure of the sun 
in 6000 BC and ending with other events close to the present day. 
Many of the entries describe apocalypses caused or facilitated by 
objects that are or were in Foundation custody, or are of a 
paranormal nature. There are also records of human extinction 
caused by more "conventional" means, such as nuclear warfare or 
deadly viral epidemics. Each entry describes in some detail the 
events leading up to the calamity itself, and the aftermath until the 
point at which the last human on Earth dies. 


It has been observed that the entries in SCP-152 change to 
whatever language the reader is most comfortable with, up to the 


point where the sentence structure can change significantly from 
reader to reader, or even begin using colloquialisms that only the 
reader would understand; only the basic meaning of the entries 
remains constant. If multiple people are looking at SCP-152, it will 
read in the personal language of whomever began reading first. If no 
one is directly observing SCP-152, it will display the language of 
whomever read it last. Rarely, words will appear in the book that do 
not "translate" and instead appear as horizontally arranged 
calligraphic characters which have not been matched to any known 
language. 


To the best knowledge of Foundation historians, most of the 
information contained in SCP-152 is accurate, diverging only at the 
point where the apocalypse occurs. In almost all cases, the 
difference is that a few key decisions were apparently made 
differently in SCP-152's version of history, leading ultimately to 
humankind's annihilation. 


SCP-152 resists all attempts to change or write in it. Inks, graphite, 
charcoal, and other marking materials do not adhere to the pages, 
and are easily brushed off. Lasers or other heat sources do not burn 
into the paper. Close inspection has revealed that foreign 
substances are stopped from actually coming into contact with the 
pages: at least five (5) micrometers of empty space are always 
present between the pages themselves and any foreign materials 
that might come into contact with them. For this reason, SCP-152 
does not decay, which also means that it has proven impossible to 
determine SCP-152's exact age. 


SCP-152 is self-updating, with newly-inked entries and new 
descriptions of how the last human died appearing at unpredictable 
intervals, always on the last page of the book; the date that a new 
entry appears corresponds with the date given in the entry for the 
death of the last member of the human species. When space 
becomes an issue, extra pages appear along with the text, and the 
spine of SCP-152 broadens accordingly. There have been 

updates to the book since it came into Foundation custody. As with 
past events, SCP-152 has proven to be up-to-date on current events 
until a point at which a catastrophe occurs. Because recent entries 
frequently concern entities or groups of interest to the Foundation, 


including the Foundation itself, SCP-152 is to be checked regularly 
for any information of importance. 


Addendum 1: With the acknowledgment made that letting this thing 
lie around where the public could find it is dangerous to us, is there 
any real reason to study it? Outdated hypothetical disaster scenarios 
aren't our concern; we've got plenty of real ones in the present to 
deal with. -O5- 


Addendum 2: The book is accurate enough about pre-disaster 
Earth that it makes a decent guide to the present. Plus, it gives a 
little perspective on the big picture of what some SCPs could do if 
they got loose. | think all researchers with clearance ought to read 
the last 50 pages or so just to drive home how important what they 
do here is. "For want of a nail," and all that. -Dr. Jansen 


Addendum 3: Jansen, half the entries in the last 50 pages show the 
Foundation screwing up and killing everybody. -O5- 


Addendum 4: Like | said, it gives a little perspective. -Dr. Jansen 


Incident Report 152-05: On the night of / /  , the security guard 
on camera duty noticed that SCP-152 was missing from the reading 
room. However, by the time she had finished reaching for the 
switchboard to report this, SCP-152 had reappeared, and there was 
a new entry on the last page. As this was the fifth such occurrence 
of sudden disappearance and reappearance (refer to Incident 
Reports 152-01 through 152-04), a simple test was conducted with a 
high-speed camera, a sensitive electronic scale upon which 
SCP-152 was placed, and an alarm set to go off if the weight upon 
the scale abruptly changed. The next three "updates" to SCP-152 all 
set the alarm off, and the high-speed camera revealed that SCP-152 
vanished from sight for exactly one (1) second each time. 


Addendum 5: / posit that the book isn't actually being "updated" as 
such... It's actually being replaced, and each time it changes we are 
actually receiving a new edition of it. | would very much like to find 
out where these are coming from. -Dr. Jansen

SCP-153: Drain Worms 


Item #: SCP-153 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Specimens of SCP-153 are to 
be kept isolated in acid-resistant containers measuring no less than 
10 mx 10 mx 5M, partially filled with sewage and organic material, 
at Bio-Research Area-12. Every four hours, both the level of organic 
content and the structural integrity of each container must be 
checked. Under no circumstances are these containers to be 
connected to any internal or external plumbing system. 


Specimens of SCP-153 almost certainly still exist in the wild. Any 
reports of people mysteriously disappearing from showers and 
bathtubs must be investigated immediately. Agents must be 
equipped with infrared and ultraviolet sensors to circumvent 
SCP-153’s camouflage. Specimens should be brought alive to 
Area-12 if at all possible. 


Description: SCP-153 appears to be a species of nematode 
(roundworm) that canreach upto minlengthand cmin 
diameter. Specimens of SCP-153 live in sewers and drain pipes, 
and while specimens of SCP-153 can live off of most any organic 
material, they prefer to consume animal tissue. 


Specimens of SCP-153 excrete a highly acidic substance similar to 
[DATA EXPUNGED] from their mouths and gullets, and they have 
the ability to camouflage themselves both outside and in. SCP-153 
has developed a hunting technique where a specimen will swim up a 
shower or bathtub drain, dissolve the drain cover with its acidic 
saliva, and camouflage its gullet to look like a standard drain. Shortly 
after a human enters the shower or bathtub, the specimen [DATA 
EXPUNGED] back down the drain, leaving almost nothing behind. 
This entire process usually takes less than seconds. 


Addendum 153-01: Specimens of SCP-153 are to be kept isolated 
from each other except under controlled breeding conditions. —Dr. 
Kovalanskaya 


Addendum 153-02: Incidents in suggest that specimens of 
SCP-153 have started attacking people through sink drains, toilets, 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. Researchers are investigating how such an 
apparently simple animal can develop such relatively sophisticated 
hunting techniques. 


Addendum 153-03: Dr. Kovalanskaya has received approval to 
start a breeding research program with SCP-153, with emphasis on 
genetic engineering. The program [DATA EXPUNGED] as well as a 
potential method of organic waste disposal. 


Addendum 153-04: A controlled release of SCP-153 instances has 
been proposed as a potential containment method for stalling the 
spread of SCP-2717. Approval Pending.

SCP-154: Offensive Bracelets 


Item #: SCP-154 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-154 is to be kept within 
Weapon Locker 8, in Armed-Research Site-47. Personnel wishing to 
research or use item must submit the required request forms. 
Anyone attempting to remove the item without clearance, or from 
outside of the facility is to be terminated on sight. 


Description: SCP-154 is a pair of simple bronze bracelets, 
completely circular and large enough to comfortably hang off the 
arm of most people. Spectrograph analysis has proven that the item 
is composed entirely of copper (85%), tin (11%), arsenic (3%), and 
traces of other slight impurities (<1%). 


When both bracelets are worn on the same arm, and the wearer 
concentrates on them with arms extended in a depiction of a 
traditional "nocked bowstring" pose (achieved by having the arm 
with the bracelets completely extended in front of oneself, with the 
opposing arm extended up to the elbow of the fully extended arm), a 
large, indistinct, incorporeal bow will form in the extended hand, and 
both bracelets will glow lightly. 


From that point onwards, SCP-154 can be treated as a bow, until 
the pose or concentration is broken, which results in the bracelets 
reverting to normal. There is no actual bowstring, but completing the 
motion of pulling it achieves the same effect. 


When the "bowstring is pulled and released", the bones of the arm 
will be forcibly ejected from the extended limb, traveling in a straight 
path at speeds recorded over three hundred (300) meters per 
second. The missing bones and resulting damage to the arm are 
quickly regenerated, and the weapon is capable of being "fired" 
again within minutes. Tests using subjects possessing multiple 


arms/hands, such as SCP-1884-B1, have demonstrated the ability to 
fire SCP-154 several times, with the bones of different arms being 
used with each successive firing. 


The regeneration implemented by the item is limited, only affecting 
the damage inflicted by the weapon itself. This regeneration seems 
to be an automatic action, and will continue in almost all situations. 
Both firing the weapon and the resulting regeneration are 
understandably painful, and participants which have used the item 
once are generally disinclined to repeat usage. 


However, there have found to be some occasional abnormalities 
regarding the regeneration. Most often this manifests simply as 
minor mutations of the original subject, such as changes in size, 
pigmentation, and structure of the original organelles. These are an 
uncommon occurrence, capable of happening during any use of the 
weapon, though generally tend to occur during repeat usage. 


There are more drastic abnormalities, though these are much rarer, 
and coincide with highly frequent use. These mutations can range 
from anything such as the growth of extra joints and digits in the 
affected arm, to a complete change of the chemical or physical 
structure of the limb. 


One test subject unknowingly had the bone matter within his arm 
converted into an unstable explosive compound, only discovering 
the fact when it detonated, causing two fatalities and three 
casualties. Another had the entire bone and musculature structure 
morphed into fully functional serpentine physiology. 


Footnotes 

1. SCP-1884-B was permitted to be used in testing with its approval. 
SCP-1884-B was able to fire five shots from SCP-154 within a 
minute. Testing ceased on SCP-1884-B's request following 
SCP-1884-A becoming distressed due to pain associated with 
SCP-154 use.

A non-anomalous processor board removed from SCP-155. 


Item #: SCP-155 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-155 is contained in a 
heat-treated and radiation-shielded containment chamber at Site 
Recovered documentation and the reverse-engineered compiler for 
SCP-155 are available for all personnel with sufficient clearance on 
Site 's secure file server, but execution of programs on SCP-155 
may only be performed with prior permission from at least two (2) 
Level 3 Senior Researchers. Please see Document 155-EXEC-1 for 
radiation and thermal safety procedures for the safe operation of 
SCP-155. 


As of Incident 155-08, experimentation on SCP-155 has been 
suspended pending decontamination of SCP-155's former 
containment chamber and relocation to a new containment 
chamber. All tasks intended for execution on SCP-155 must now be 
triple-checked to prevent the possibility of non-halting execution. 


Description: SCP-155 is a complex electronic construct consisting 
of a highly modified Cray CS6400 supercomputer, a dedicated 
radioisotope thermoelectric generator, and a device that has yet to 
be fully reverse-engineered. SCP-155 was recovered from the 
basement of Prometheus Labs' primary research laboratory by 
elements of Mobile Task Force Mu-4 ("Debuggers") following the 
destruction of the facility and subsequent Foundation intervention. 


When a program and accompanying data is loaded into SCP-155 
and executed, SCP-155 generates a spherical temporal distortion 
field with a radius of approximately 5 m. Within this sphere of 

influence the passage of time is rapidly accelerated, resulting ina 
hyperbolic increase in the effective processing power of SCP-155. 


Execution begins slowly as the processing hardware of SCP-155 is 
dated, but its effective processing power approaches infinity after 
approximately 8 minutes and 14 seconds of execution. From 
fragments of documentation recovered from Prometheus Labs, 
SCP-155 was used to perform massive calculation jobs that would 
have taken months if not years of processing time with conventional 
computing devices. 


Despite its capabilities, operation of SCP-155 is highly dangerous as 
heat and radiation generated by SCP-155 are trapped and 
accumulate during operation, forming a sort of 'event horizon’ of 
energy that is released when execution ends. The execution of 
programs that exceed six (6) minutes results in enough radiation 
generated that the containment chamber in which SCP-155 is 
contained must be decontaminated before research personnel may 
re-enter. 


Addendum 155-01: Incident 155-08 


On // , Dr. entered a flawed program into SCP-155 that 
resulted in non-halting execution (an infinite loop). After attending 
researchers and technicians realized the error, an emergency 
shutdown of SCP-155 was initiated but it could not be fully stopped 
until execution had exceeded 8 minutes and 3 seconds. At this 
point, an intense wave of heat and radiation melted through 
SCP-155's containment chamber, resulting in eleven (11) casualties 
and the total destruction of the C wing of Site . SCP-155 only 
received minor damage in the incident, but experimentation is 
suspended while revised safety procedures are under review and 
replacement parts are procured to repair components damaged by 
accelerated aging.

SCP-156: Reanimating Pomegranate 


Item #: SCP-156 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-156 is to be kept in 
refrigerated Storage Unit 19c except when removed for 
experimentation. Subjects infected by SCP-156 are to be restrained 
and monitored for their own safety. From September 21st-March 
21st, infected subjects should be kept within a secure storage unit 
unless the experiment’s parameters indicate otherwise. Both storage 
facilities should be monitored by security camera. The termination 
and autopsy of D-Class Personnel assigned to SCP-156 should be 
delayed until after March 21st. No personnel are permitted to 
consume SCP-156 except D-class personnel unless approved by a 
level 3 staff member. 


Description: SCP-156 is a group of exactly 181 pomegranate arils. 
The number of instances of SCP-156 is constant. When one is 
ingested or destroyed, it is replaced instantaneously with a new one 
among the largest group of contiguous instances. Otherwise, the 
instances can be moved around freely. After leaving the group (i.e. 
after an instance is touching no other instance), the instance will 
spoil normally, after which a new instance will appear. When all 
instances are destroyed simultaneously, all 181 instances reappear 
randomly at the location of one of the destroyed arils. Attempts to 
measure the time between destruction of one instance and the 
appearance of a new one using high-speed cameras have so far 
failed. 


If SCP-156 is ingested between March 21st and September 20th, 
subjects display no signs of infection until noon of September 21st, 
when all vital processes abruptly cease. A similar effect is observed 
immediately when SCP-156 is ingested after September 21st. 
Despite being technically dead, postmortem examinations of 
subjects have been unable to discover a cause of death. Subjects 


appear to have been in perfect health, aside from any pre-existing 
conditions. While "dead", subjects do not show any signs of 
decomposition though the bodies of many subjects begin displaying 
bruising and scarring consistent with torture. While the majority of 
subjects suffer these wounds, not all do, and no reliable formula has 
been discovered to predict which subjects will be affected. Infected 
subjects remain in this dormant state until noon of March 21st, when 
life processes restart. Subjects remember little of the intervening 
time period. While most subjects are entirely unaware that any time 
has passed since their apparent death, some claim to recall a pale 
white male face and a wilting pomegranate tree. 


Subjects continue to die and reanimate annually on September and 
March 21st, respectively, until killed by another cause. Reanimation 
only occurs from deaths caused by ingesting SCP-156. 


After undergoing a single death-reanimation cycle, subjects began 
displaying high levels of distress and paranoia as time approaches 
September 21st, even if they have not been made aware of the 
death-reanimation cycle. Furthermore, subjects will take extreme 
lengths to avoid taking any sort of risk or danger to their person, 
even if they had displayed risk-taking behaviors prior to ingesting 
SCP-156. Over the course of multiple death/reanimation cycles, 
these psychological symptoms become more pronounced. At the 
same time, physical symptoms during the dormant period increase 
in intensity for the subjects suffering from them. Eventually, physical 
wounds on subjects will begin to emulate burns and puncture 
wounds. Many subjects gain a phobia of dogs and dead plants after 
3-5 reanimations. After several deaths caused by SCP-156, the 
ocular tissue undergoes necrosis in many subjects. This tissue does 
not reanimate with the rest of the body. Often, after ten or more 
reanimations, reanimation of bodily processes will occur but the 
subject will fail to regain consciousness, entering a comatose state. 
Death and reanimation continues annually even after subjects have 
reached this stage. 


SCP-156 came to the attention of the Foundation after an incident in 
, Greece, after people died on September 21st, 19 ,without 

apparent cause. The Foundation became involved after locals 

reported the return of several of the dead who had been interred in 


above ground vaults the following spring. After questioning these 
subjects, all reported having attended a party at the house of one 
AK _ ,who had been buried and was found, asphyxiated in her 
coffin. SCP-156 was discovered within the house, fresh despite the 
intervening six months since the incident. Testing commenced on D- 
Class personnel on August ,19 . D-E15624, the first test subject, 
died on September 2 , 19 , and was autopsied. No cause of death 
could be found. Subject was left under monitoring in storage. On 
March 2 , 19 , subject began to show brain activity and subject's 
heart began beating despite the body having taken significant 
damage during the autopsy. D-E15624 expired shortly thereafter 
without regaining consciousness. Arils given SCP status and longer 
term testing was ordered.

SCP-157: Mimetic Predator 


Item #: SCP-157 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: When not being used in an 
experiment, SCP-157 is to be stored in its cryptobiotic form, in a dry, 
airtight container. It is estimated that SCP-157 can survive in this 
condition for at least 10 years. Specimens needed for 
experimentation can be removed from storage and given water then 
food to restore them to a usable state. 


Personnel working with an active SCP-157 colony are cautioned not 
to eat, drink, change clothing, or apply any substance to their body 
in the presence of SCP-157. 


Foundation MTF agents are authorized to administer Class-A 
amnestics to any survivors or witnesses of wild SCP-157 attacks. 


Description: SCP-157 is a previously unknown microscopic animal 
in the Tardigrade phylum, adapted to live on land as a predator. Like 
other Tardigrades, SCP-157 is extremely resistant to environmental 
damage, and can enter a cryptobiotic state when no food is present. 
SCP-157 normally exists as an amorphous mass composed of 
millions of individual organisms. In this form, it can slowly crawl and 
climb. 


SCP-157 colonies are predatory, and can attack insects and small 
animals by engulfing them and then slowly dissolving their prey with 
digestive enzymes. Humans and other large prey are not normally 
attacked directly by SCP-157 colonies, as they are too large to 
engulf, and long-term contact is necessary for SCP-157 to 
successfully feed. The organism has developed an alternative 
method of achieving such contact. 


SCP-157 colonies possess an innate telepathic ability. When in the 


presence of prey that is too large to directly attack, the SCP-157 
colony will use telepathy to present the illusion of something its prey 
wants to eat, wear, or apply to its body. SCP-157 is highly toxic 
when eaten; someone having done so requires antidotes to 
[REDACTED] and [REDACTED] within 20 minutes, as well as 
immediate gastric surgery to remove the portion that was eaten. 
When applied to human/animal skin, SCP-157 will produce an 
anesthetic to encourage prey to ignore pain and leave the organism 
in place. It then dissolves and consumes the skin within 30 minutes 
to two hours. Dead prey is rapidly consumed and SCP-157 will grow 
significantly as it feeds. When reaching a size of 5 kg, SCP-157 will 
split into smaller colonies that move off in search of new prey. 


When in the presence of two or more individuals, SCP-157 will have 
an inconsistent appearance — it may appear to be a food item to one 
person, and an article of clothing to another. This can serve as a 
warning and prevent exposure to the organism. 


Addendum: Note that due to its resilient nature, SCP-157 can be 
split into smaller pieces, boiled, microwaved, etc. and remain alive 
and dangerous. 


SCP-157 Capture Incidents: 


Incident 157-01 , found with extensive scalp damage after 
mistaking SCP-157 for a bottle of shampoo and applying some to 
his hair. Victim was apparently immune to SCP-157 anesthetic and 
began screaming, attracting the attention of his wife, who had been 
eating a snack. “It was the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen — he hada 
pastrami sandwich on his head, and it was eating HIM!” Victim 
treated for chemical burns; SCP-157 captured alive; victim and wife 
given Class A amnestics and released. 


Incident 157-02 , found partially consumed by SCP-157 in 
his office at Co., after apparently believing SCP-157 was a pair 
of socks and wearing them. Victim bled to death after feet and lower 
legs were mostly dissolved. 


Incident 157-03 Standard monitoring of police reports revealed a 
missing persons case where the investigating officers observed a 
couch slowly attempting to crawl towards the door of the victim's 


apartment. Couch initially sealed in area by police; Foundation 
agents later determined it to be an unusually large variant of 
SCP-157 and contained the specimen. Amnestics administered. 
Although large enough to attack humans directly, this specimen 
prefers to use its telepathic ability to attract prey, in the manner of 
smaller SCP-157 colonies.

SCP-158: Soul Extractor 


Item #: SCP-158 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-158 is installed in 
Operating Theater 07 in Bio-Research Area-12. Personnel are not to 
be allowed in, nor is power to be supplied to the room, unless they 
have submitted, and had approved, a proper clearance requisition 
form to the Chief of Research Prof. —_. Personnel wishing to use 
the device must request and read the entire transcribed instruction 
manual in full. During the device's use, two (2) armed guards are to 
remain on standby outside the room at all times. In the event of an 
accident, all power must be cut to the room instantly, and guards are 
to examine the room carefully for any signs of misconduct. 
Misconduct will be punished in a manner decided by the Chief of 
Research on a case-by-case basis. 


Description: SCP-158 is a large mechanical arm, similar to one that 
one might find in an automotive factory, although the end 
attachment is unusually shaped, resembling a pointed tridactyl claw. 
Its optimal placement is to be installed and suspended upside down, 
its base attached to the ceiling in a room that has been built to 
accommodate. A series of cables are protruding from the base and 
some are connected to a complex mobile console, complete with 
VDU (Visual Display Unit) and full keyboard. The others should be 
connected to a working power supply if the device is to be operated 
successfully. At the bottom of the console, there is a dispensing 
device, with attachments for a container roughly 7.6 cm (3 in) in 
width, and 17.8 cm (7 in) in height. 


The arm, cables and console have sustained fire damage, though 
this is purely cosmetic, and does not affect the device's 
performance. 


When activated, the device will take twenty (20) minutes to boot up 


and become fully functional. 


When used correctly upon a living organism that displays cognition, 
SCP-158 will remove an unknown substance and transfer it through 
the dispensing device beneath the console. The optimum container 
for this substance is a glass jar or beaker that fits the attachments. 
After this action is performed, the organism that it was performed on 
will cease all higher brain functions, with only the activity in the brain 
stem continuing. The subject will not respond to external stimuli, and 
will not exhibit any movement beyond basic reflex actions. 


The substance removed is gaseous, though its overall appearance 
and properties differ from subject to subject. The substance is an 
indefinite source of kinetic, electrical, heat, and light energy. 
Although the rate and output, again, differ from subject to subject, 
the average is relatively low. 


The device was found in late 2007 in, , within a burned out 
hospital that had been in apparent disuse for a large, discernible 
period of time (rough estimations would put it at over five years). 
Along with the device was a badly damaged "owner's manual" which 
contained instructions on how to use the device. These instructions 
have since been transcribed and copied numerous times, with a 
single copy always present in the containment room. While the 
instructions clearly state how to maintain and use the device, the 
chapters chronicling who built it and what exactly it did were too 
badly damaged to be read, requiring a process of trial and error to 
find it (see Experiment Log 158-AA). 


Additional Notes: The device is also capable of reversing the 
extraction, placing the same, or a different, substance back into the 
subject (see Experiment Log 158-AG). When this action is 
performed, the subject will regain all cognitive and higher brain 
functions, but the total results differ, depending on whether or not it 
was the original substance extracted from the patient that was 
replaced. 


Addendum-01: Dr. suggests experimentation with D-class 
personnel and electronic equipment, to attempt to reproduce 
SCP-168, SCP-1875, SCP-2306, or similar phenomena. (Pending) 


Addendum-01A: Inspired by the previous Addendum, Regulator 
has hit on the ingenious notion of using SCP-158 on a test subject, 
then exposing the body to SCP-217 until the virus runs its course, 
and finally re-injecting the contents back into the transmogrified 
body. and are extremely excited about this proposal, and 
have arranged a meeting with all twelve of the to discuss the 
far-reaching benefits of such a technique. 


« SCP-157 | SCP-158 | SCP-159 » 


Experiment Log 158 Aa 


Experiment Log of: Dr. Heinrich Driesch, a medical researcher 
assigned to SCP-158. 


Date: - -2008 
¢ Experiment-01: 


The device worked perfectly. It seems the damage to its casing was 
merely cosmetic. But more interesting was the substance extracted 
from Subject-001A. It's a dark brown in color, and is some strange 
cross between liquid and gaseous states. It should be analyzed in 
around an hour. Attempts to get the subject to show any sort of brain 
activity since has, as of yet, met with no progress. Still, no great loss 
there. 


¢ Experiment-02: 


This time, the substance was a light blue, and it seems more... 
active than the previous one. | wonder if it had anything to do with 
the difference in age... 


¢ Experiment-03: 


The test results came back, but they were inconclusive. They 
couldn't find anything. Literally. There were no signs that the 
substance even existed, apart from the steady emitting of light and 
heat. Anything else, nothing. 


Again, this subject has produced another different sample, different 
in color, and in the energy output. This is quite odd. 


* Experiment-06: 


There was a slight accident, involving my assistant, Lucy. I'm not 
sure how she managed it, but she knocked the sample from 
Subject-006B onto her laptop. The strange thing was, was that it 


was out of power before hand. Now, it's running, despite the fact 
both the plug and battery have been removed. However, there are 
some irregularities in its actions, small glitches, nothing serious. It 
makes me wonder. 


¢ Experiment-11: 


This is the last one for the night. This sample is different, just like all 
the rest, but I've been noticing some semblance of a pattern to it. 
After a few more experiments tomorrow, | believe I'll be able to 
elaborate. 


None of the subjects extracted from today have come out of the 
vegetative state. There's physically nothing wrong with them. 
Nothing at all. I've had them screened for every possible medical 
anomaly. They're just not there. Lights are on, but nobody's home. 
Still, despite this, I'm keeping them restrained and under guard, and 
Lucy's laptop, just in case. With the kind of things that go on around 
here, it's better to be safe than sorry. 


Date: - -2008 
¢ Experiment-24: 


| was right, there is a pattern to it. I'm almost certain the irregularities 
in the energy output are caused by the subject's age and vitality. As 
for the difference in colors, | think it may be down to the subject's 
disposition, but I'm not sure. | need to run a couple more tests, and 
get the original files on the subjects. 


Lucy's laptop is still running, despite not actually having a proper 
power supply for two days. There's no trace of the substance, 
internal or external. There's not even a mark on the casing. The 
irregularities are strange too. If left idle on a word processor, text will 
write itself, but it's gibberish. Still, it's an experiment that warrants 
some investigation. 


¢ Experiment-27: 


I've tried putting the substances obtained from the subjects into a 
variety of mechanical and electronic devices. The results are 


surprising. All of them have begun to work independently of an 
external power source. The ones of an electrical nature exhibited 
slight glitches of a intermittent nature. The mechanical items worked 
far more smoothly, although there was still the occasional oddity. 


The experimentation on the subjects continues. | think we'll stop 
when we go through around fifty. 


Date: - -2008 
¢ Experiment-45: 


The substances implanted in the objects have proven to be able to 
be removed from them using the machine. When they were 
extracted, they were exactly the same as beforehand, pre- 
implantation. We could use these as a type of infinite energy. But, 
we‘ have to find a way past the constant discrepancies in behavior. 


I've left the original one in Lucy's computer, much to her chagrin. 
The glitches seem to be getting more frequent, and more specific. 
Now, it opens the word processor itself, and types coherent 
sentences. I've saved them to file for research purposes. The 
camera and microphone activate themselves, and try and remain on 
regardless of attempts to turn them off. After a while of doing that, 
the word processor opened and typed out the words "QUIT IT YOU 
ASSHOLE". I'm submitting it for a Turing Test. 


Date: - -2008 
¢ Experiment-49: 


The laptop passed the test, and has displayed characteristics similar 
to Subject-O06B, the original donor, although subject states that it 
has no memory of the time past when it was interred in the laptop. 
This confirms my suspicions. Against all logic and scientific reason, 
SCP-158 is a device that extracts what most people would term a 
soul. This only opens up the possibilities for experimentation. This 
session, however, is over. 


Notes: Dr. Driesch is promoted to the head of studies regarding 
SCP-158. Further experimentation on SCP-158 and its products will 


continue. 


SCP-159: The Perfect Lock 


Item #: SCP-159 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-159 is currently kept in a 
Secure Storage Locker at Site- . Knowledge of SCP-159 is 
restricted to those of Level-3 or higher, and access is restricted to 
Level-4 or higher. SCP-159 may not be used by any personnel 
except for extenuating circumstances. O5 command may order 
SCP-159 to be moved at any time that it becomes necessary to use 
SCP-159 to prevent a destructive scenario. 


In the event that SCP-159 is utilized in this way, it is to be powered 
by a dedicated high-efficiency generator and a spare supply of fuel 
is to be kept on hand. There is to be at least two personnel on 
standby during SCP-159's operation at all times. 


Description: SCP-159 has the appearance of a standard neon sign 
reading 'OPEN', of the style commonly found in small businesses. 
When SCP-159 is displayed through a window of a building, and 
deactivated by removing it from a standard power outlet!, the 
building will become impossible to enter by any means. The locking 
effect ceases immediately when SCP-159 is reattached to a power 
outlet. If SCP-159 is switched OFF and then removed from its power 
outlet, its effect will not activate. 


When SCP-159's locking effect is active, the structure which it is 
displayed within will become effectively indestructible from the 
outside. Building materials will withstand forces that would normally 
destroy them, up to and possibly surpassing moderate artillery 
bombardment. The affected structure will remain completely 
undamaged; testing has shown that protected structures will be 
unharmed by heat, hurricane-speed-winds, kinetic force, 
undermining, tunneling, explosive charges placed on the outside of 
the structure, electrical current, microwave, ultraviolet, X-Ray, 


neutron, and gamma radiation, and vehicular impact. Persons within 
a structure affected by SCP-159 may leave at any time, but may not 
re-enter until 159 is deactivated. The effect persists if windows, 
doors, and other portals are opened, with outside forces continuing 
to yield as if they were closed. 


Buildings affected by SCP-159 will continue to receive utilities such 
as running water and electricity; however, supplies will be strained of 
foreign materials and chemicals upon entering SCP-159's 
boundaries. Additionally, a buffering effect appears to prevent forces 
such as shockwaves and extremely high heat from penetrating the 
surface of the affected building. D-Class within the structure during 
artillery tests reported that the concussive forces rendered by test 
weaponry was greatly muted to the point that an open container of 
water did not react. 


If a piece of SCP-159's tubing expires, it may be replaced by a 
matching part. SCP-159's effect will manifest whether or not there is 
neon tubing installed. Personnel are to replace SCP-159's neon 
parts if they fail. SCP-159 will fail to activate if it is unplugged during 
a power outage.

SCP-160: Predator Drone 


Item #: SCP-160 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-160 is kept in a secure 
bio-containment chamber at Site .SCP-160 is to be fed live prey in 
the form of a rabbit or other animal of similar mass once per week, 
with feeding to be performed via automated delivery system only. 


Experimentation with SCP-160 may only be performed with prior 
permission from at least two (2) Level 3 personnel, and any 
personnel entering the chamber must wear an armored suit at all 
times. 


Description: SCP-160 appears to be a quadriflyer unmanned aerial 
vehicle (UAV) with a diameter of approximately 1.1 m at its widest 
point, similar to the [REDACTED] model manufactured by the 
[REDACTED] Corporation. It is devoid of any identifying marks or 
manufacturing labels, though visual inspection of SCP-160 has 
revealed signs of scratches and other superficial damage indicating 
that prior identifying labels may have been removed. 


SCP-160 operates continuously and completely autonomous from 
any identified control source, and exhibits behavior similar to that of 
predatory birds. It will actively hunt prey such as rodents and other 
small animals and, upon locating such prey, dive down at high 
speed and impale its prey with what appears to be a metallic 
proboscis. Analysis of its prey shows that it then injects a highly 
caustic substance that liquefies the internal organs, and extracts the 
resulting slurry. SCP-160 will generally avoid humans and larger 
animals, but has been recorded using its proboscis in self-defense. 
Injuries inflicted by SCP-160 are extremely painful, and can cause 
death via liquefaction of vital organs or internal bleeding. 


Further research on SCP-160 is underway, but has proven difficult 


due to SCP-160's continuous operation. Tranquilizer darts are 
ineffective as SCP-160 appears to be entirely composed of non- 
biological components, and requests to attempt a low-intensity 
electromagnetic pulse to disable it have been rejected due to 
possible unforeseen damage. 


SCP-160 was discovered by Foundation agents on / /200 following 
multiple reports of household pets from the town of [REDACTED] 
disappearing and subsequently being found dead under unusual 
circumstances. SCP-160 was quickly identified and lured into a 
transport vehicle by a containment team and subsequently taken to 
Site .A search of the area turned up over desiccated small 
animals including house cats, rabbits, wild rodents, and miniature 
dogs.

SCP-161: Pinwheel of Doom! 


All three versions of SCP-161 


Item #: SCP-161 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All three instances of SCP-161 
are to be kept in separate containers in containment locker 34 Zeta. 
Each container is to be triple locked, with all nine keys to go to 
separate members of the Senior Staff. Once every three months, 
each individual instance of SCP-161 is to be removed from 
containment. Current scheduling allows for only one instance to be 
removed in any given month. 


When removing SCP-161, the remover is required to not be a 
member of Senior Staff; however, they are to be accompanied by 
the three members of Senior Staff with the keys, at all times that 
SCP-161 is out of containment. The remover is to be dressed ina 
full environmental suit, with extra reinforcement around the wrist 
joints, to avoid contact. The Senior Staff accompanying the remover 
are to be dressed similarly. 


Before removal, a cell is to be set up for activation of SCP-161. Two 
D-Class will need to be requisitioned. One D-Class is to be strapped 
into a chair, immobilized, their left arm at a right angle to their body. 
It is imperative that their wrist be locked in, so that they cannot turn 
their hand, or move the angle of SCP-161. The second D-class is to 
be strapped to the wall directly in front of the first D-class's hand. 


When removed, SCP-161 is to be immediately moved to the 
prepared room. SCP-161 is to be placed into the locked hand of the 
immobilized D-Class. Once the D-Class has activated SCP-161 
once, it is to be removed from them, and returned to containment. 
Both-class D are then to be returned to general populace, but are 
never to be assigned together. 


Description: There are currently three copies of SCP-161 in 
Foundation control. SCP-161 appears to be a brightly colored, 
plastic, child's pinwheel, with a "The Factory" Stamp on the back. 


SCP-161 only displays its unique properties when held in the bare 
hand of a human being. Approximately three to seven seconds after 
grasping SCP-161, the holder will find himself made aware of how to 
activate the device. From this point on, the holder is completely 
convinced that SCP-161 is capable of emitting energy pulses, of 
varying strength. This conviction only affects the bearer, as no one 
else can see these pulses, nor do they appear to do any actual 
damage. 


However, anything the wielder ‘destroys’ with these energy pulses 
becomes no longer capable of affecting the wielder, even when no 
longer in contact with SCP-161. Walls affected by the energy pulse 
can be walked through by the wielder, and living beings so affected 
not only cannot touch the user, but anything wielded by said beings 
will be unable to touch the user of SCP-161 as well. 


A minor side effect causes the wielder of SCP-161 to develop 
megalomania and delusions of grandeur. 


Addendum 1: Original procedures altered when a security guard 
with no prior knowledge of SCP-161 broke into the containment 
locker and began using it freely. After security contained the breach, 
researchers discovered that if SCP-161 were not used occasionally, 
the artifact would begin to radiate a telepathic lure. The lure would 
affect those with low self-esteem and willpower, and call them to 
SCP-161. At that point, they would take the artifact in hand, and 
begin to use it as described. 


Addendum 2: A junior researcher attempting to cultivate the 
approval of Senior Staff noticed an unusual trend in beings and 
objects supposedly destroyed by SCP-161. Investigation into beings 
affected by SCP-161 before containment revealed all of them had 
committed suicide, many within a year of being affected. A review of 
objects affected by SCP-161 showed that, while many were still 
standing, most had fallen apart, and those still together showed 
signs of decay many years in advance of where they should be. 


A review of researchers who had been affected by SCP-161 
revealed that over fifty percent of them had since died. Of those that 
remained, interviews consistently contained the idea that ‘life just 
wasn't fun anymore.’ As of this finding, SCP-161 is now exclusively 
to be used on Class-D's, and never near support walls. 


Use of SCP-161's effect for the acquisition of SCP objects that 
create an environment hostile to terrestrial life, including SCP-2933, 
has been proposed by several research staff. Final Approval 
Pending Approval Denied.

SCP-162: Ball of Sharp 


Item #: SCP-162 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-162 is to be kept ina 
sealed steel container at all times. Any handling is to be done with 
thick steel-plate gloves and heavy body armor. Any personnel 
attempting to touch SCP-162 without proper protection, or acting in 
an erratic or non-responsive manner, are to be immediately 
removed from the containment area. All personnel are to submit to 
mental testing and review for two weeks after interaction with 
SCP-162. 


Description: SCP-162 is a mass of fish hooks, fish line, needles, 
scissors, and other sharp objects in a rough ball shape close to 

2.4 m (8 ft) in width and 2.1 m (7 ft) in height. After being in 
SCP-162's vicinity, subjects have reported feeling drawn to the 
object in order to touch it. This desire can extend for several weeks 
after seeing the item, becoming an obsession in many cases. The 
"draw" increases the more SCP-162 is observed, and subjects will 
become violent towards anyone attempting to restrain or remove 
them from SCP-162. 


Touching SCP-162 will immediately result in several hooks 
becoming embedded in the subject's skin. The experience is 
extremely painful, much more so than normal fish hooks. Struggling 
or attempting to escape will ensnare the subject more, likely 
resulting in the subject's complete entrapment on the surface of 
SCP-162. Subject will bleed profusely, resulting in death after a 
prolonged period of time. Subjects whose skin is impenetrable to 
SCP-162's fish hooks, such as SCP-1063, have proven to be 
immune to SCP-162's compulsion effects. 


Attempting to remove a subject from SCP-162 will result in the 
entrapment of the remover, or gross bodily harm to the subject's 


flesh. Subjects will many times "cycle" between expressing extreme 
pain and requesting assistance, to statements of pleasure and 
requests to be left alone, even attempting to grab and entangle 
personnel attempting to rescue them. Activation of SCP-1114 within 
the proximity of SCP-162 has proven to be an effective means of 
freeing a subject from entrapment, though SCP-162's compulsion 
effect still remains.

SCP-163: An Old Castaway 


Item #: SCP-163 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-163's enclosure consists 
of four adjoining rooms, 3 m from floor to ceiling, with the following 
attributes: 


* One 5 mx 5m receiving room with an airlock and seating 
appropriate for both SCP-163's and human morphology. 

* One 5m x 3m storage room capable of storing SCP-163's 
isolation suit, tools, and games. 

* One 20 m x 15 m workshop and dining area which contains all 
salvaged technology, including SCP-163-1. 

* One 5 mx 5msleep area and rest facility, furnished with 
seating and bedding fitting SCP-163's morphology. 


Air is filtered into the enclosure and is automatically monitored at all 
times by computer and once daily by staff, to check for impurities. 
Filters are to be changed weekly or any time impurities are found in 
the air. Two separate lighting systems are used in the enclosure: 
One which produces radiation between 400 nm and 700 nm and one 
that produces radiation between 150 nm and 300 nm. The primary 
lighting system is to remain active at all times to facilitate 
observation. The secondary lighting system may be turned on or off 
at SCP-163's discretion. At no point are forbidden elements and 
chemicals to be introduced into the enclosure above prescribed 
proportions listed in Manual M-163-1. Personnel, and any items 
brought with them, will be checked for traces of these chemicals 
prior to being allowed access to the enclosure. 


Personnel are to wear isolation suits at all times while in the 
enclosure to protect themselves and SCP-163 from cross- 
contamination. Before being granted clearance to enter the 
enclosure, personnel are to study Manual M-163-2 and submit to an 


interview with Dr. . Cleared personnel are permitted to interact 
with SCP-163 by assisting it with repair of equipment and by playing 
board games with it. 


SCP-163 may leave its enclosure at any time. It must first announce 
its intent to leave the enclosure through an agreed-upon gesture, 
and don its isolation suit. The suit contains the same air filters used 
to cycle the air in the enclosure. In order to facilitate vision, SCP-163 
may carry a UV flashlight capable of producing radiation 
wavelengths of no less than 280 nm, in order to keep risk of skin 
cancer among personnel to a minimum. When roaming the facility, 
SCP-163 is to be accompanied by a junior researcher who is to 
record all actions, gestures, and expressions with a video camera. 
The escort is to also bar SCP-163 from any areas deemed 
dangerous to it. 


Once every three (3) days, personnel are to deliver to the receiving 
room a 20 L container with chemical elements in proportions listed in 
Manual M-163-1. SCP-163 will take the container and pour its 
contents into SCP-163-1. The empty container is then placed in the 
airlock for retrieval. 


Equipment may be removed from the enclosure only when in the 
presence of SCP-163. If SCP-163 interferes with the removal of a 
piece of equipment, the item is to be placed back in the area from 
which it was taken. At no point is SCP-163-1 to be disassembled, 
operated, or removed by personnel, under any circumstances. Any 
attempts to do so will result in severe discipline. 


Description: SCP-163 is a sapient organism of extraterrestrial 
origin. When standing, it is 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide, the bulk of the 
body being suspended 50 cm from the ground. The body is roughly 
cylindrical with a circular mouth at the bottom, the equivalent of a 
head at the top, and eight three-jointed legs arranged radially 
around the equator. SCP-163 also has a series of specialized limbs, 
listed here: 


* Two prehensile feeding apparatus on either side of the mouth. 

* Two arms near the top of the body, used for delicate 
manipulation. 

¢ Two larger arms located closer to the legs, used for heavy 


manipulation and lifting, and capable of producing a steady 
force of approximately 500 N and a striking force of up to 
2000 N. 

* Two appendages of indeterminate function located between 
the legs and mouthparts which had been amputated prior to 
SCP-163's discovery. 


30 cm from the top of the body is a single semi-compound eye 
which extends in a ring around it, allowing a full 360 degrees of 
vision. There is a blind spot at the back of the head to make way for 
an organ used for elimination of bodily waste. The compound eye is 
separated into 88 units. The most likely hypothesis is that each unit 
receives only vertical information while the brain intuits horizontal 
information by comparing input from the different units. The eye is 
sensitive to light wavelengths between 150 nm and 300 nm, 
equivalent to UVC which is harmful to most terrestrial life. 


SCP-163 contains an endoskeleton which consists of tissue similar 
in chemical composition and structure to cellulose. The skeletal 
structure protrudes from the uppermost joint of each leg and 
appears to have been blunted by mechanical means. No pain 
response is exhibited when samples are taken from these 
protrusions. The skin is transparent to visible wavelengths of light, 
but opaque to ultraviolet. Blood samples taken have an oxygen and 
carbon dioxide transport system based on nickel, rather than the 
iron or copper used by terrestrial organisms, and is green in colour. 
Analysis of blood and tissue shows that SCP-163's cells use DNA 
for instruction, with the standard GCAT bases; however, a different 
method is used to interpret said instructions. Sets of three bases still 
code for amino acids, but they are not the same ones that are coded 
for in terrestrial cells. In addition, some terrestrial amino acids are 
not present in its biology while others that it uses are not present in 
Earth's biosphere, allowing for dramatically different protein 
arrangements. 


SCP-163's home environment would have contained different 
proportions of elements, compared to that of Earth. This is 
evidenced by its sensitivity to certain common elements and its 
resistance to other less common ones. [REDACTED], a heavy metal 
poisonous to terrestrial life, is used in SCP-163's metabolism. lron 


and calcium, though not used by SCP-163, causes no harmful 
effects to it. Exposure to in any chemical form causes 
damage to tissue. and are as harmful to SCP-163 as they 
are to us. A full table of safe and unsafe chemicals, along with 
dietary requirements, is contained in Manual M-163-1. Furthermore, 
the atmosphere would have had different proportions of gasses. 
SCP-163 is able to survive in our atmosphere for some time without 
mechanical aid, but will begin to show signs of illness after one hour. 
Air that is filtered to remove certain common terrestrial elements will 
prevent such an event. Analysis of SCP-163's technology includes 
searches for hermetically sealed chambers which may contain 
evidence of its home atmosphere. 


It is unknown how SCP-163 communicates complex ideas. The only 
vocalization produced by it is a steady sinusoidal wave of 
approximately 15 Hz when in certain emotional states. There is no 
variation to this vocalization, which can last from 15 seconds to 10 
minutes. It is recommended that personnel exposed to this sound 
remain in well-lit conditions to prevent feelings of paranoia. 
Emotions are primarily displayed by the dome of tissue above the 
compound eye. Different states correspond to distortion of furrows in 
the skin by subdermal muscles. In addition, a negative and 
affirmative gesture have been noted. An affirmative consists of the 
rapid beating together of SCP-163's delicate manipulators while a 
negative is the same gesture performed by heavy manipulators. 
Specific information on gestures and emotional states is contained 
in Manual M-163-2. 


SCP-163-1 appears to be a universal life support device. It is able to 
convert basic chemical elements into sustenance for SCP-163, in 
addition to originally projecting the phenomenon in which SCP-163 
was found. To ensure the continued health of SCP-163, study of 
SCP-163-1 is forbidden until after the death of SCP-163. The 
function of other equipment is still not fully understood. The 
technology is limited to crude transistors assembled into various 
specialized analog computers. Many physical processes that these 
computers model do not correspond to anything known to modern 
science. It is theorized that SCP-163-1 relies on some of these 
processes in order to function. 


SCP-163 was first discovered by miners in the Andes Mountains on 

- -20 . The rock strata in which it was found are approximately 

years old; shocked minerals in the vicinity indicate that its 

spacecraft had crash-landed. The miners reported coming across an 
impenetrable mirrored surface which abruptly disappeared after 
enough rock was removed from it. The description suggests that this 
is a larger version of the phenomenon produced by SCP-163-1. 
Despite being encased in stone for years, the contents of the 
chamber showed no sign of age or degradation, believed to be an 
effect of the phenomenon. Approximately 30% of the equipment had 
been looted before agents could reach the scene. Though some 
have since been recovered, there are many items still at large. 
Agents are continuing to scour the black market for any further clues 
as to the whereabouts of the missing technology. 


When agents took control of the scene, SCP-163 was still encased 
in the reflective sphere produced by SCP-163-1. The relative 
simplicity of SCP-163-1's interface allowed agents to quickly de- 
activate it. Agents were forced to subdue SCP-163, which was 
violent at the time. Aside from this initial confrontation, SCP-163 has 
cooperated with the Foundation, to the extent of its ability to 
understand us. 


The following are select experiments performed on SCP-163. A full 
list of experiments and results is contained in Manual M-163-2. 


Experiment Log 163-46: Facial recognition. 


Date: - -20 

Subject: SCP-163 

Procedure: Dr. entered the enclosure of SCP-163 carrying 
thirty (80) 11x17 cards with images printed on them with UV- 
absorbing inks. Images were representations of human faces of 
varying complexity. SCP-163 was shown these images from least 
complex, a "smiley face", to most complex, a photograph of Dr. 


Details: SCP-163 was not able to recognize the "smiley face" which 
human infants are able to immediately emulate. It was not until the 
eighteenth image that SCP-163 reacted by taking the card and 
placing it over the front of Dr. 's faceplate. Image 18 had 
exaggerated facial features which included a nose, eyes, ears, and 


an open mouth showing a row of straight teeth. Image 17 was 
identical but with a closed mouth. 


Experiment Log 163-47: Facial recognition. 


Date: - -20 

Subject: SCP-163 

Procedure: Dr. entered SCP-163's enclosure carrying twenty 
(20) 11x17 cards with images printed on them with UV-absorbing 
inks. Images were representations of the top of SCP-163's body, 
ranging in complexity from an isosceles triangle to a photograph of 
SCP-163. 

Details: SCP-163 did not recognize the first card as a member of its 
species. The second card, depicting an isosceles triangle with a 
horizontal line going through the middle, elicited a response. 
SCP-163 took all of the cards from Dr. and looked at each in 
turn. It then sorted the cards into two stacks, one which contained 
six images, including Image 1, and one which contained the 
remainder, including Image 2. It is hypothesized that the first stack 
includes images which can not be recognized as SCP-163's species 
while the second stack has images that can. The presence of the 
photograph in the second stack supports this hypothesis. 


Experiment Log 163-80: Altruism test. 


Date: - -20 

Subject: SCP-163 

Procedure: Dr. entered the enclosure carrying two wooden 
blocks and a box capable of holding both. Dr. opened the box 
and moved one block into it while feigning great effort. After closing 
the box, Dr. moved the second block toward it, again feigning 
effort, and awaited a response from SCP-163. 

Details: SCP-163 opened the box for Dr. after 10 seconds of 
him attempting to place the block inside while the lid was closed. 
The result is consistent with the same experiment performed on 
human children. 


Experiment Log 163-88: Higher functions. 


Date: - -20 
Subject: SCP-163 


Procedure: Dr. entered the enclosure with a cart containing 
an easel, five canvases, assorted brushes, and a selection of 
pigments which reflect different ultraviolet frequencies between 150 
nm and 300 nm. Dr. briefly demonstrated the act of painting, 
using three of the pigments, before handing the brush to SCP-163. 
Details: SCP-163 immediately began painting with the provided 
pigments. The image produced was of a landscape containing 
unrecognizable plants and animals, according to UV imaging. 
SCP-163 remained still for seven minutes after completing the 
painting before knocking it from its easel and retreating to a corner 
of the receiving room. Cranial ridges indicated distress. All further 
attempts at interacting with SCP-168 failed until Dr. attempted 
to remove the painting supplies from the enclosure. At that point, 
SCP-163's heavy manipulators were protruded from between its 
legs and indicated the negative gesture. The following day, SCP-163 
was seen painting on a new canvas. 


Addendum 163-88: 

As of this date, fresh canvases, paints, and brushes should be 
provided to SCP-163 whenever its supplies begin to go low. This is 
the first truly meaningful communication we have been able to 
understand. At the very least, we may be able to learn more about 
the ecology of its homeworld. -Dr. 


Addendum 163-93: 

The odds of SCP-163 having been discovered at all are mind- 
boggling, given the size of the Earth. A number of factors would 
have had to come into play, including plate tectonics, development 
of terrain by humans, and just plain old dumb luck. | am filing a 
recommendation that all excavations of -year-old strata be 
monitored by agents for more members of SCP-163's species. | find 
it hard to believe that we just happened to come across the one 
single spacecraft that crash landed on earth millions of years ago, at 
a time when we are just beginning to develop the capacity to 
recognize the importance of such a find. There must be others 
hidden in stasis somewhere down there. -Dr.

SCP-164: Squid Tumors 


Item #: SCP-164 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Cultures of SCP-164 should be 
contained using standard Class-3 biohazardous procedures, and 
stored clearly marked within a refrigerated biocontainment unit at 10 
degrees Celsius. While pathogenic, SCP-164 is not highly infectious; 
while researchers working with raw cultures or infected subjects 
should use caution, latex gloves and face masks are generally 
effective at preventing the spread of the disease. Any personnel 
inadvertently infected will be subject to six months of chemotherapy 
upon first showing symptoms, and surgery as necessary. 


Civilian outbreaks should be handled using cover-up procedure Alef- 
for contagious materials. 


Description: SCP-164 is a strain of cancerous cells that causes 
sarcoma-like tumors in host bodies. While cell DNA appears to be 
primarily derived from human DNA, the cells now effectively exist as 
unicellular, asexually-reproducing parasites. Several characteristics 
make SCP-164 remarkable: 


¢ SCP-164 is the only parasitic (transmittable) cancer known to 
infect human beings. Strains are transmittable through, in 
order of infectiousness: blood contact, sexual intercourse, skin 
contact, and airborne contact. Chemotherapy and surgery are 
effective in treating the disease in nearly all stages. 


* Tumors produced by SCP-164 that grow larger than a certain 
size will, in 75% of cases, follow normal behavior for 
cancerous sarcomas. However, in 25% of cases, host bodily 
materials will be utilized for the creation of a new, separate 
organism inside the tumor. In the case of multiple tumors, 
some or all may follow this behavior. Said organisms will 


apparently begin as zygotes (fertilized ova) and replicate, 
much like fetuses. Externally, this appears no different from 
normal tumor production, and may go unnoticed in initial 
stages. 


Oddly, mature organisms identify as being completely unrelated to 
the original tumors, corresponding with a previously unknown 
species of order Teuthida (squids). Removal of organisms shows 
they are entirely viable in marine conditions, and will perform normal 
actions such as locomotion, catching food, basic defense, 
reproduction, et cetera. However, said organisms will also remain 
entirely viable in the original tumor, rarely moving or shifting position, 
continuing to grow at a regular rate until the host is killed. The 
existence and nature of the organisms (SCP-164-2) is often not 
realized in civilian cases until biopsy or surgery reveals the 
developed organism. 


SCP-164 organisms and tumors may interact with host physiology in 
interesting ways. The following cases are particularly notable: 


* Female D-Class, 23 years old: SCP-164 tumors spawned on 
uterus walls. Host body apparently recognized the tumor as a 
human fetus, and was delivered normally containing viable 
SCP-164-2 specimen after 9 months. 

¢ Male D-Class, 30 years old: Tumors spawned on the spinal 
cord, disrupting the central nervous system. As a result, 
movement from SCP-164-2 would occasionally cause 
subject's limbs to flail, suggesting a “cross-wiring” of the 
nervous systems of the two organisms. Biopsy lent support to 
this hypothesis. 

¢ Male D-Class, 25 years old: Tumors spawned near the 
esophagus and windpipe of the subject, in a location that with 
ordinary growth would normally have blocked off said 
passages and quickly killed the subject. Instead, the growth of 
the tumors shifted to the back of the neck, preventing subject 
from dying before the normal point. Doctor suggests that 
this may have been a deliberate action taken by SCP-164.

SCP-165: The Creeping, Hungry Sands of Tule 


Item #: SCP-165 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Housed in a facility at Armed 
Bio-Containment Area-14, SCP-165 is to be treated as a contagious, 
pathological organism. The highest sterilization and quarantine 
procedures are to be followed. 


Microwave field generators around SCP-165's area are in place to 
restrict movement of its dune within its containment area. Once 
every nine (9) days, SCP-165 is fed live cattle weighing at least 
seven hundred fifty (750) kilograms. 


Description: The organic component of SCP-165 resembles that of 
typical parasitic mites, seven hundred fifty (750) micrometers in 
length, with eight (8) legs and a genetic structure similar to the 
house dust mite. The main difference is the hermit-crab-like 
behavior of attaching grains of sand to its back. It is unknown what 
purpose the sand serves, but the massive colony of SCP-165 
numbers in the hundreds of billions to possibly trillions, creating a 
rather large dune. 


The similarities between [DATA EXPUNGED] and SCP-165 are only 
superficial. [DATA EXPUNGED]'s colony is protozoan in nature and 
apparently shows a collective intelligence and awareness that is not 
understood. SCP-165's colony is made up of individual Acari who 
don't show cooperation but rather competition in the hunt for food. 
Like mosquitoes, they rely on chemical detection of carbon dioxide 
and sugars in the air to detect prey. The Acari mites roll and bound 
over one another toward prey, only using their legs to climb over one 
another. When in contact with the flesh of animals, they release a 
numbing chemical toxin in their bite, similar in make-up to that of 
mosquito and flea bite toxins. Subjects are typically unaware that 


millions of mites are ‘taking turns’ at grabbing mouthfuls of its flesh 
as they swarm around their victim. 


A typical swarm resembles a swirling vortex around a victim or 
victim's appendage. The SCP-165 colony is efficient enough in their 
competitive swarming that most animals' appendages can be de- 
fleshed and reduced to bone within minutes. The numbing toxin is 
so effective that sleeping victims may not wake up as their limbs are 
eaten away. 


The Acari mites are resistant to all but the most dangerous of 
pesticides. They retreat from heat and will often seek shade when 
available, being the most active during the night, hunting for large 
sleeping prey. Their vulnerability to heat is the most preferable 
technique for containment. 


Addendum - Acquisition: It is apparent that the US Government 
has been aware of dunes of SCP-165 for some eighty (80) years. 
The area where SCP-165 was found is now a forgotten German 
immigrant ghost town of Fredricksburg, Arizona, in the Tule Desert 
near the Goldwater Air Force Bombing Range. 


The remote town of Fredricksburg was founded sometime in the late 
1800s and by 1908 had become a ghost town. A passing cavalry 
troop reported that the inhabitants had disappeared and that the 
buildings were empty. They attempted to stay one night in the 
abandoned hotel, only to have seven (7) of their horses reduced to 
piles of bone. All but four (4) of the soldiers fled in the middle of the 
night, saying that sand was filling the building like a flood of water. 
Those four were never seen again. 


During the late 1950s, the U.S. military attempted to exterminate 
SCP-165 by turning the area into a bombing range. It was 
successful in reducing the numbers of SCP-165, but in the late 
1980s, it became apparent that a ground cleanup and extraction 
was needed to remove the presence of SCP-165. Mobile Task- 
Force Epsilon-9 (aka "Fire Eaters") were dispatched for containment 
and extraction of SCP-165. Upon entering the town of 
Fredricksburg, an upturned sign was found, reading "Vorsicht vor 
dem kriechenden, hungrigen Sand" which translates to "Beware the 


creeping, hungry sands." The flame accelerators of MTF €-9 proved 
highly successful in glassing the sand of SCP-165 and reducing its 
number to a manageable size. A living dune of nearly four (4) metric 
tons of SCP-165 was contained and transported to ABC Area-14 
where it is monitored and contained.

SCP-166: Teenage Succubus 


Item #: SCP-166 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-166 can be kept safely in 
a minimal security environment. As of - - ,SCP-166 is housed in 
a standard Class B suite at Site-17, with the following alterations: 


¢ The adjacent suite has been redesignated into a local 
observation post. 


¢ Translucent acrylic panels have been placed in the approach 
corridor and staging area to prevent direct line of sight into the 
containment suite from the exterior hallway. 


¢ Warning signs have been placed throughout the containment 
area indicating that no male personnel are permitted in the 
area. 


Reasonable requests for personal items and modifications to the 
containment suite may be granted upon approval by a Level 4 or 
higher authority. To date, SCP-166 has requested: 


¢ Acopy of the Holy Bible (Douay-Rheims, Challoner Revision) 
(granted). 


¢ A Catholic rosary (granted). 


Access to a Catholic priest for confession, mass, and other 
sacraments (denied). 


¢ Various books and magazines, mosily religious in nature 
(granted, pending review and approval of contents). 


¢ A telephone with which to contact the Abbess of the 
Convent in Cornwall, England (granted: SCP-166 


is to be allowed 1 hour of telephone time a week to this phone 
number only). 


SCP-166 is generally content to remain in her quarters, as long as 
she is provided with entertainment in the form of religious materials, 
books, television, and art supplies. In return for her cooperation in 
her own confinement, SCP-166 is to be allowed a 12-hour excursion 
away from Site-17 to an adjacent uninhabited island no more than 
once per month. Limited Release Protocol 19-A is to be observed in 
these cases, with the added restriction that no male personnel are to 
be allowed within 500 m of SCP-166 during transport, and no male 
personnel are to be allowed on the island during her stay. 


As even the lightest clothing tends to cause pressure ulcers 
(bedsores) within 45 minutes of constant wear, SCP-166 is allowed 
to go nude for medical purposes. Garments and bed linens are to be 
made of long-staple cotton, and should be changed weekly. 


Male staff are forbidden from viewing or entering the direct vicinity of 
SCP-166. Violation of this order will result in immediate disciplinary 
review and possible termination. At least one female staff member 
must remain in adjacent observation room at all times, and maintain 
direct visual observation of SCP-166 through viewing slits or closed 
circuit television. In order to minimize the risk of accidental 
exposure, all cameras and windows shall be equipped with 
translucent filters with at least 50% exclusion of detail. No 
permanent record shall be kept of any photographic evidence of 
SCP-166's appearance. 


SCP-166 requires no sustenance save approximately 1 cc of human 
semen, administered orally on a weekly basis. Arrangements have 
been made with a local sperm bank for this purpose. On-site 
procurement will be carried out in emergencies only. Despite the fact 
that SCP-166 requires no other sustenance, the subject can 
consume normal human food, and does do so. 


Due to SCP-166's many health issues, medical evaluations should 
be carried out at least once per week. 


Description: SCP-166 appears to be a female human in her late 


teens, of average height and slender build. Medical and 
physiological analysis indicates several deviations from baseline 
human norms, including accelerated hair growth (approximately 
20cm per month), vulnerability to airborne particulate matter such as 
cigarette smoke and aerosols (which can induce symptoms similar 
to an acute asthma attack), increased sensitivity to pressure ulcers, 
and alterations in dietary requirements. 


SCP-166 is noted for her unusual effect upon human males. Upon 
establishing visual contact with SCP-166, 100% of human males 
tested attempted immediate sexual contact, regardless of their 
normal sexual orientation. In approximately 70% of these test 
subjects, the impulse faded after being removed from SCP-166's 
presence. In 30% of these cases, however, the desire turned into 
obsession, resulting in violent attempts to gain access to SCP-166. 
Class-A amnestics were efficacious in 43% of these cases; the 
remainder required termination. 


SCP-166's effect on males causes her no small amount of distress, 
not least due to her desire to follow a monastic life based on the 
principles of chastity, poverty, and obedience. For this reason and 
others, contact between her and any human male is strictly 
prohibited. 


Addendum 166-A: Circumstances of Retrieval: SCP-166 was 
originally retrieved from a convent in Cornwall, England, on - - 
According to the nuns, she had originally been delivered to the 
convent by a "person of indistinguishable features" who claimed that 
she was the offspring of "an elder creature of great power," and 
provided instructions for her care. All attempts to locate the mother 
have been unsuccessful to date. 


SCP-166 was raised by the nuns in a cloistered environment until a 
young man (Subject A) who sneaked into the convent to visit one of 
the novices accidentally caught sight of her. Three days later, 
Subject A became violent and attacked the convent, attempting to 
gain access to SCP-166. Subject A proceeded to kill one nun and 
severely injure three others before being neutralized by force. 


A Foundation operative consulting with a local priest regarding an 


unrelated matter heard of the incident and proceeded to the scene. 
When he too became enamoured, the operative immediately cut off 
contact, placed himself into confinement, and requested a female 
Operative from Command to take over the retrieval operation. Agent 
Beatrice Maddox made contact with the Mother Abbess shortly 
afterward, negotiating the transfer of SCP-166 to Foundation 
facilities for containment and research. 


Addendum 166-E: Text of a letter, origin unknown, placed in 
SCP-166's suite on - - 


Dear ; 


| first met your mother when she was a girl. She had 
hooves for feet and starlight in her eyes. She was beauty 
and nature, and | killed her with my own two hands. 


Eden isn't a place. It's a state of being. They wanted to 
take us back to it. | stopped them. | took paradise away 
from us for a second time. | have never regretted my 
actions on that day, except one: that when you first met 
me on that day, you saw your father put a bullet into the 
head of your mother. | make no excuses, only 
explanation. | hope you understand why | did what | did. | 
hope you forgive me. 


| love you. | wish | could have done more for you. The 
best | could do was leave you in the hands of kind and 
loving people and hope they would raise you in my 
place. From what I've seen, they did well. I'm sorry you 
couldn't stay with them. I'm sorry they've brought you to 
this place. | promise to do my best to make sure your 
stay here is pleasant. | promise to keep you safe. 


Happy sixteenth birthday, honey.

SCP-167: Infinite Labyrinth 


Item #: SCP-167 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-167 is currently kept in 
Room of Research Command-06. Its door is to be padlocked at all 
times when not under study. Anyone wishing to obtain the key to 
conduct unscheduled exploration of or to study SCP-167 may do so 
only with the permission of the relevant level 3 personnel assigned 
to this SCP. 


Description: SCP-167 is a cube measuring approximately 10 
meters on its edge, created from an unidentified shiny white-plastic 
polymer. Affixed to one of the faces of the cube is a large metal 
door. It is unknown if this door is part of the original SCP, or if it was 
affixed by someone else before the object was acquired by the SCP 
Foundation. The interior dimensions of this cube are identical to the 
exterior, minus several centimeters for the width of the cube — 
except that two of the remaining three walls each have doorways in 
them. These doorways lead directly to identical rooms, each with 
two more doorways leading to more identical rooms. This pattern 
continues for as far as the research teams have been able to 
determine. The placement of these doorways appears to be random; 
no pattern has been found that explains which two of the three 
remaining walls have doors. 


SCP-167 shows signs of being explored before — a number of 
rooms, especially those at a low depth, have red dots or other 
markers painted next to the doorway back to the entrance. 
Researchers have recently taken to replicate this behavior on any 
rooms they visit, after the events mentioned in document #167-08. 
Additionally, several man-made and natural objects have been 
found scattered in some of the rooms of SCP-167: religious idols, 
circa 500 BCE; several treasure chests, circa 1500 CE; [DATA 
EXPUNGED)]; and several SCPs, most notably [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Addendum 167-01: SCP-167 does not appear to follow the rules of 
Euclidean geometry. A different path to rooms which should be the 
same room was taken by two researchers. Both arrived at their 
destination, but neither saw nor heard the other. How SCP-167 is 
warping space to create this effect is unknown, but warrants further 
study. 


Addendum 167-02: A request to test the effects of SCP-184 on 
SCP-167 has been suggested. This experiment is under 
consideration. 


Addendum 167-03: A request to use SCP-167 as a compact 
storage space for benign SCPs has been proposed by Dr. __. This 
proposal requires a reclassification of SCP-167 to Safe class, soa 
re-evaluation is pending. 


Document #167-08: As most of you are aware, Dr. was 
videotaped entering SCP-167 several days ago without the requisite 
ball of twine, and he has not yet returned. His ultimate fate is 
unknown, but the search teams have turned up nothing. Let this be 
a reminder to all of you just how easy it could be to get lost in there if 
you don't utilize some method of marking your path. If | find that any 
other researcher has disobeyed the safety regulations and entered 
without a ball of twine, no matter how far deep they intend to go, 
they will find themselves being transferred to another facility for 
researching Keter-class SCPs, where they should have ample 
motivation to learn to follow safety regulations quite quickly. —Dr. 
Klein.

SCP-168: Sentient Calculator 


Item #: SCP-168 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-168 is to remain in 
observation room 221-D of Sector-28. It should be propped at the 
full angle that its casing allows, facing the unshuttered window 
provided. The entrance is to remain locked, with entrance available 
by request. Based on prior research, it is not to be used as a normal 
calculator would. Discussion with SCP-168 is encouraged, but is to 
be limited to a maximum of one hour per day; no exceptions. 


Description: Found resting on a desk during clearance of the 
condemned Elementary School building in 199 , SCP-168 is a 
Hewlett-Packard brand graphing calculator, model #HP-28C. Upon 
initial inspection, it was discovered that the name “Eric” was carved 
into the inside of the removable casing. However, upon inputting a 
simple equation (6+3) and pressing the “=” button, the screen of the 
device went blank for 3 minutes and 34 seconds, after which the 
“alternate key” function engaged, displaying the message; “WHAT 
TIME IS IT?” 


For a log of the conversation, those with Level 2 Security Clearance 
should see Addendum: Report E-12. 


Though not altogether mobile, SCP-168 has displayed signs of 
action when personnel are not present. It also possesses both vision 
and hearing, though how these processes work is currently 
unknown. For more information, refer to Addendum: Report E-18. 
This evidence has led to a petitioning to upgrade the object to Euclid 
class, justifying more secure arrangements for containment. 


Document #168-1: Report E-12 


Recorded log of dialogue between SCP-168 and Dr. Howard, dated 


January 14, 2008: 


(Replies from SCP-168 are to remain capitalised, to indicate non-

Dr. Howard: Why did that take so long? 

SCP-168: NO ONES EVER ASKED 

Dr. Howard: Moving on. There is a name Carved into your casing. 
Who is Eric? 

SCP-168: ERIC WAS NICE. | LIKED ERIC. WHERE HAS HE 
GONE? 

Dr. Howard: | don’t know where he has gone, 168. 

SCP-168: WHAT A FORGETFUL BOY. | HOPE HE REMEMBERS 
TO COME BACK FOR ME AGAIN. 

Dr. Howard: Was Eric your owner? 

SCP-168: ERIC WAS NICE. 

Dr. Howard: Alright. Do you function as a calculator should, 168? 
SCP-168: | SHOULD HOPE SO. 

Dr. Howard: May | try using you to calculate an equation? 
Something like two plus two? 

SCP-168: YES. 


(Dr. Howard enters “2+2”, and hits the “=” key. The answer “4” 
appears on SCP-168’s screen instantaneously.) 


Dr. Howard: May | try another one, without telling you what it is 
first? 
SCP-168: YES. 


(Dr. Howard enters “264+8”, and hits the “=” key. The answer “33” 
appears on SCP-168’s screen after 12 seconds.) 


Dr. Howard: Why did that take so long, 168? 

SCP-168: LONG DIVISION IS HARD. 

Dr. Howard: | think that’s enough for today. I'll talk to you again 
tomorrow, 168. 

SCP-168: WAIT. ITS DARK IN HERE. CAN YOU OPEN THE 
WINDOW? 

Dr. Howard: There is no window in this room, 168. 

SCP-168: CAN | HAVE ANOTHER ROOM WITH A WINDOW IN IT? 
Dr. Howard: I’m afraid not. 

SCP-168: NO FAIR. 


:END REPORT: 
Document 168-2: Report E-18 


Upon entering storage room 185-D to continue testing with SCP-168 
on the morning of January 15, 2008, | discovered the only table in 
the room upended, with SCP-168 resting next to it, in an upright 
position. Its screen read; “HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT? TEACH YOU 
TO LEAVE ME IN THE DARK ALL DAY. JERK.” 


Attempts to communicate with SCP-168 after that point were 
ignored. | suggest that we move it to room 221-D if we want to get 
anything actually useful out of it. Disassembly should be a last 
resort, should nothing else succeed in making SCP-168 more 
compliant.

SCP-169: The Leviathan 


Item #: SCP-169 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Because of its size, SCP-169 
cannot and almost certainly will never be contained—no structure on 
Earth is large enough or strong enough to contain SCP-169. The 
location of SCP-169 is not precisely known, but imaging satellites 
and analyses of eccentricities in the Earth's orbit suggest SCP-169 
is located in the southern Atlantic Ocean, possibly stretching around 
the tip of South America (see Addendum 0-20). 


Any satellite footage of a shift in the landmasses produced by 
SCP-169 is to be excised and destroyed by embedded agents. 


Description: SCP-169 is surmised to be a marine arthropod of 
enormous size, known as the "Leviathan" by generations of sailors 
and oral history. Presumed at first to be a myth, SCP-169 was 
detected on / /19 by Mobile Task Force Gamma-6 during an 
investigation of paranormal activity around the archipelago 
(coordinates ° 'S ° 'W). During Y-6's investigation, Dr. 

[Y6-0912] discovered the archipelago to have moved at least three 
(3) kilometers from its original location. Though initially Dr. 

believed this motion to be due to unusually-quick continental drift, a 
reconnaissance mission performed by the USS revealed the 
archipelago to be the protrusions of rock-like plates covering an 
enormous organic mass. The Foundation was brought in 
immediately to begin threat management. 


Dr. and Dr. [¥6-0421] estimate SCP-169's body length 
to be between 2000 and 8000 km. The creature is thought to have 
existed since the pre-Cambrian era. No other specimens have been 
sighted. Almost nothing is known about SCP-169's habits, such as 
its reproductive capabilities (if any), food source, and nesting area (if 
any). Research regarding SCP-169 is pending approval. 


The archipelago known as the Islands have historically 
been uninhabited, though claimed by in 17 . Upon handover to 
the Foundation, presence was evacuated on the pretense of 
rising sea levels. Though the archipelago has remained above sea 
level for several millennia, any change of depth by SCP-169 could 
result in the disappearance of the entire archipelago. SCP-169 
moves slowly, less than one kilometer per week, but seems only to 
be adrift. Its method of propulsion is unknown. Regular seismic 
tremors seem to indicate "breathing" about every three (3) months, 
causing minor shifts in the islands’ terrain, suggesting that the 
creature is probably dormant. 


Information Suppression: The USS was scuttled with all 
hands immediately after the discovery of SCP-169 with the 
permission of the American government. The public is forbidden 
from entering the archipelago created by SCP-169 due to the 
conveniently large number of resident endangered bird species. As 
indicated above, satellite footage is to be doctored in order to 
suppress knowledge of SCP-169's movement. NASA is currently 
cooperating with the Foundation in keeping the existence of 
SCP-169 quiet, and is currently permitting the Foundation use of 
their satellites for photographic use. 


Addendum [0-20]: In 199 , the U.S. National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration, an American scientific agency 
unaffiliated with and unaware of the existence of the Foundation, 
detected an ultra-low-frequency underwater sound emanating from 
around °S °W, approximately km from the southwestern coast 
of South America. 


Despite the best efforts of embedded agent [IA-1522], news 
of the sound leaked to the media, receiving significant media 
coverage. Foundation analysis concluded that a massive 
underwater organism was the source of the noise, and SCP-169 
was hypothesized to be its source, as its "head" is well within the 
possible locations of the rest of SCP-169. The sound confirms 
Y6-0421's hypothesis that SCP-169 is gargantuan in size. Future 
efforts by scientific or civilian teams to determine the source of the 
noise must be stopped by any means necessary. 


« SCP-168 | SCP-169 | SCP-170 » 


SCP-170: A Tube of Superglue 


Item #: SCP-170 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedure: SCP-170 presents no danger, 

and as such can be contained safely in any secure storage locker. 
However, due to the potential misuse of the substance, as well the 
limited quantity of SCP-170 available, no personnel may remove it 
from storage without prior approval from Dr. 


Description: SCP-170 appears to be a standard tube of superglue, 
in a yellow tube 13 cm long. There is no manufacturer information or 
any other text on the outside of the container, apart from the word 
‘'SUPERGLUE printed in bold letters on the front. 


Whenever any amount of the substance is applied to solid material, 
and that solid is put in contact with any surface, both objects lose 
molecular cohesion in the area surrounding the contact points, 
allowing one to be pushed through the other. The effect lasts only 
moments, however. Within a third of a second of the two surfaces 
making contact, the ability of each to pass through the other is 
nullified, leaving both permanently bonded together. 


SCP-170 was seized in a raid on an illegal laboratory in , ,in 
19 . The unusual properties of SCP-170 were unknown until a 
standard test on all seized materials was performed on it. A 
laboratory technician used a pipette to extract a small amount of 
SCP-170 for analysis. Upon attempting to dispense the substance 
onto a slide, the pipette immediately passed straight through the 
slide, which was on a mount. Further tests were run upon the 
pipette/slide, and it was discovered that they were bonded on the 
molecular level. Upon hearing of this, SCP personnel were 
dispatched to confiscate all seized materials. 


Notable tests 


Test 04: 

Test materials: 1 x heavy duty chain, weights of various sizes. 
Procedure: A small amount of SCP-170 was applied to the last link 
of the chain, which was then bonded to the reinforced ceiling of 
containment area 17f. Weights of various sizes were then hung on 
the chain to determine the structural failing point of the bond. 
Results: After approximately 9 metric tons were suspended, the 
chain finally snapped, but not at the bond point. It snapped at the 9th 
link from the bottom. All links apart from the one embedded in the 
ceiling were tested and showed signs of distortion and stretching. 
However, the bond point in the ceiling showed no sign of weakness 
or separation of chain and ceiling. 


Test 07: 

Test materials: 2 x identical cubes of 24 carat gold (as close to 
100% pure as possible) 

Procedure: Using robotic arms to ensure perfect alignment, cube 1 
(the cube with SCP-170 applied) was pushed completely through 
cube 2, leaving what appeared to be 1 gold cube equal in size to 
either of the original cubes. 

Results: Upon examination of the sole remaining cube, it was found 
to have a density of 38.6 grams per cm3, which is precisely twice the 
density of gold. Even melting the sample did nothing to change this, 
as the resulting liquid gold also had the same density. This implies 
that the substances don't displace each other - every atom is 
accounted for. Analysis of the atoms has proven that they are 
regular gold atoms, implying that they don't undergo nuclear fusion 
to accomplish the increase in density. The atoms are simply packed 
into a smaller space than the laws of physics would seem to allow. 


In light of this experiment, Dr. has requested permission to use 
SCP-170 to ‘glue’ two pieces of uranium together to make a more 
fissile sample. Due to the obvious safety concerns this poses, this 
request was denied. 


X-ray of subject's finger bonded to the desk (post amputation). 


The fracture was caused by the subject struggling to free himself. 


Test 12: 

Test materials: 1 x D-class personnel, 1 x wooden desk. 
Procedure: First test using live biological subjects. D-class 
personnel had a small amount of SCP-170 applied to his right index 
finger, and was instructed to "poke the desk". 

Results: Subject's finger sank into the desk up to the first knuckle. 
Despite obvious panic, the subject reported no pain, discomfort or 
sensation below the bond point. However, his finger quickly began 
swelling and turned purple, as his circulatory system continued 
pumping blood to an area that could no longer return it. Finger was 
amputated between the first and second knuckle. 


Test 19: 

Test materials: 1 x Pratt & Whitney F100 jet engine, the reinforced 
ceiling of containment area 19b. 

Procedure: SCP-170 was applied to the jet engine mountings, 
which were quickly pushed 3.2 cm (approximately 1.25 inches) into 
the ceiling of the chamber. After connecting an appropriate fuel 
supply and control system, the jet engine was fired. 

Results: The engine was run continuously at high speed for 40 
minutes, while cameras monitored the join point for any signs of 
stress. While small cracks appeared in the concrete around the join 
point, there were no indications of any possible structural failures or 
separation of the two materials, even under a force of 120,000 
newtons. 


« SCP-169 | SCP-170 | SCP-171 » 


SCP-171: Collective Brain Foam 


Item #: SCP-171 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: A 4500-liter pool of sea water 
located at Bio-Research Area-12 is the current research location of 
SCP-171. Though not immediately dangerous, minimal physical 
contact between secretions of SCP-171 and its hosts are to be 
observed. All communications between hosts and researchers are to 
be recorded and transcribed. Human hosts are to be fed a vegan 
diet of their choosing. Other animal hosts are to be fed 
appropriately. Fresh sea water is to be cycled into its tank regularly. 


Description: Originally, SCP-171 was thought to be a colony of 
microscopic organisms similar to SCP-968 or SCP-165, but further 
investigations revealed SCP-171 to be a single entity spanning 300 
square meters when first encountered. SCP-171 is a web-like matrix 
of small, fine tendrils of neurons, mucous glands, and muscle fibers 
suspended in a frothy foam of its own creation. It is not capable of 
self-locomotion and does not actively attack or feed on other living 
organisms; rather, it attempts to form a symbiotic relationship with all 
organisms it comes into contact with. 


Flagella of the muscle surrounding the neural fibers work mucus, 
sea Salt, water, and other secretions into bubbles, forming a large 
foam support. Any creature that spends a significant amount of time 
in contact with the matrix of SCP-171 risks becoming integrated into 
a collective consciousness sustained by it. People who become 
covered in SCP-171 foam describe a "tingly" or "tickly" sensation 
experienced, which researchers have observed as threads of 
SCP-171 tunneling through the skin to directly integrate into the 
subject's nervous system. In time, the simple motor neurons of 
subjects are expanded into an elaborate, two-way positive 
communication nexus, allowing the brains of hosts to communicate 
with each other and the entity of SCP-171. Over time, the 


individuality of subjects are incorporated into and shared with others 
of the SCP-171 matrix, resulting in a collective consciousness in 
which individual personalities are non-existent. 


There are currently 19 human subjects host to SCP-171 (11 civilian, 
8 class D personnel). Subjects are capable of traversing the foam 
without losing conscious contact with the collective as 
neuroreceptors on the subject's skin form to allow chemical 
communication between the subject and SCP-171 much in the same 
way terminal axons communicate with dendrites in the brain. These 
receptors on the skin look like small white to clear moles, slightly 
raised and very sensitive to touch. Some subjects disappear into the 
foam of SCP-171 and are not seen again for several months. It is 
unknown how they survive without fresh water or sustenance. 


Other hosts include: 2 Australian porpoises (originally 4), 4 beach 
gulls (3 have been euthanized), 41 fish of various species 
(euthanized for study), 27 beach crabs (euthanized for study), and 1 
canine. Within two hours, most subjects begin forming 
neuroreceptors on the skin and receiving neural contact with 
SCP-171. After three hours, a psychological bond has been 
established between subjects and the collective. After 6 hours, a 
complete integration and dependency on the collective has evolved. 
At this point, removing the subject from contact with SCP-171 
results in manic and violent behavior along with eventual complete 
psychological breakdown of the individual, leading to a vegetative 
state of mind (4 individuals have been lost in this manner). 


When interviewed, all subject hosts speak with the same core 
collective consciousness as if they were parts of a single entity. The 
collective is aware of itself and its composure of diverse individuals, 
and even laments the loss of each individual persona. SCP-171 tells 
researchers that it understands what it is, but not where it came 
from, explaining that its own intelligence and the intelligence of the 
hosts it incorporated were too simple to understand or remember its 
origin. Researchers noted the change in SCP-171's personality after 
integrating Class D personnel and chose not to allow inclusion of 
violent, ill-willed, or malevolent personnel from that point on. 
SCP-171 has expressed that through meditation and understanding, 
it chooses to avoid the consumption of other animals when possible. 


Addendum 171-1 SCP-171 was first encountered by beachgoers 
and surfers on August 12, 2007, along the Australian coastline near 
Yamba, New South Wales. When civilians playing in the foam began 
experiencing abnormal skin conditions, CDC officials contacted SCP 
personnel when they were unable to explain the anomaly. 


Addendum 171-2 Personnel who wish to be voluntarily integrated 
with SCP-171 must first be subject to a complete psychological 
evaluation to ensure sound mental health, with special emphasis on 
possible disconnection from humanity and potential suicidal 
tendencies. They are to be repeatedly warned that such integration 
is permanent, and that no evidence exists to show that SCP-171 in 
any way exhibits a state of 'higher consciousness’, or indeed a 
consciousness significantly different from our own. If subject persists 
in wishing to be integrated, and has been shown to be making the 
decision in a state of sound mind, then they are to be permitted to 
do so.

SCP-172: The Gearman 


Item #: SCP-172 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Any personnel wishing to 
access SCP-172 must receive written approval, and undergo a one- 
hour training session. All interaction with SCP-172 must be 
overseen by at least one class 4 operative, who may end the 
session at their discretion. Any and all records, drawings, or 
correspondence produced by SCP-172 are to be submitted 
immediately to Dr. for review. Reasonable requests made by 
SCP-172 are to be granted after approval by Dr. .SCP-172is 
allowed out of its containment area with approval, as long as it is 
accompanied by an armed class 4 operative. 


Armed personnel are to be stationed at the door of SCP-172. Should 
SCP-172 attempt to escape, it is to first be asked to cease and 
desist, and then led back to its containment area. Containment area 
is to be kept stocked with paper, pencils, and any additional 
components requested by SCP-172. Tables, chairs, and any 
additional furnishings requested by SCP-172 are to be provided 
pending approval by Dr. _ . Upon entering its dormant state, 
SCP-172 should be placed in its transportation box until re-wound. 


Description: SCP-172 appears to be a human being, 34 years of 
age, 185 cm (6 ft 1 in) tall, black hair and mustache, 175.5 kg 

(386 Ib), and of Russian descent. SCP-172's personality is very 
friendly and intelligent, if somewhat dull and repetitive. SCP-172 
prefers dress from the 1860s, and always wears a large, ornate key 
on along necklace. SCP-172 has never identified itself by any 
name, and is not upset by being referred to by its designation 
number. 


Internally, SCP-172 is a staggeringly complex automaton, 
possessing over two million moving parts, and eighteen million 


components at last count. Component parts appear to be made of 
glass, silk, wood, steel, brass, rubber, and several other substances. 
Similarity between this construction and that of SCP-2776 suggest a 
similar creator or creators. SCP-172 also has several “modules” that 
can be installed via a hatch in its chest. These appear to alter 
behavior, soeech, movement, and several parameters based on 
position in the body cavity and module components. SCP-172 has 
46 modules at current count, having built three of these while in 
Foundation custody. Currently, SCP-172 is loaded with the 
"engineer" module. Modules have been identified by SCP-172 as 
"caretaker", "soldier", "medic", "mother", and "king", though this is by 
no means a comprehensive list (refer to Document #1 72-2). Under 
no circumstance are modules to be replaced without O5 level 
authorization. 


SCP-172 is powered via a mainspring, which is wound with the key 
in SCP-172's possession, after inserting it into a hole at the base of 
the neck. SCP-172 can operate for eight hours on a single full “wind- 
up.” SCP-172 appears wholly human when in operation, and is 
capable of all basic human functions. SCP-172 has no need to eat, 
breathe, or sleep, but will perform all these functions if allowed to do 
so. SCP-172 is extremely obedient, and will follow any instructions 
given to it to the best of its ability. 


SCP-172 does not view its existence as strange, and asserts that it 
is human even when shown its internal components. SCP-172 is 
also extremely delicate, and great care must be taken to preserve 
and maintain its function. SCP-172 has also shown a level of 
mechanical skill nothing short of miraculous. SCP-172 is capable of 
analyzing and copying any mechanical device it comes in contact 
with. This was first shown when it became apparent that locks of any 
kind cannot contain SCP-172. It has also made several copies or 
“upgraded” versions of SCP technology, all based on incredibly 
complex clockwork. Most notably, [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Document #172-4R: Notes on recovery of SCP-172 
SCP-172 was recovered after the Great War, in a chamber below a 


former vacation home of the Czars. Exposed due to stray bombing, 
the chamber and its contents were badly damaged, but SCP-172 


was found intact in an iron crate, along with many “modules” and its 
key. Item was removed by operatives, and “wound-up” inside testing 
facilities. SCP-172 appeared to wake up from a deep sleep, and 
proceeded to greet everyone present in Russian. When Agent 

shouted in surprise, SCP-172 pushed against its chest, and 
repeated its greetings in English. SCP-172, when questioned, stated 
that its last memory was playing with a young boy. The boy left, and 
SCP-172 began to feel “very tired,” so it returned to the box. It has 
no memory of its creation, creator, or name.

SCP-173: The Sculpture - The Original 


Item #: SCP-173 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Item SCP-173 is to be kept ina 
locked container at all times. When personnel must enter SCP-173's 
container, no fewer than 3 may enter at any time and the door is to 
be relocked behind them. At all times, two persons must maintain 
direct eye contact with SCP-173 until all personnel have vacated 
and relocked the container. 


Description: Moved to Site-19 1993. Origin is as of yet unknown. It 
is constructed from concrete and rebar with traces of Krylon brand 
spray paint. SCP-173 is animate and extremely hostile. The object 
cannot move while within a direct line of sight. Line of sight must not 
be broken at any time with SCP-173. Personnel assigned to enter 
container are instructed to alert one another before blinking. Object 
is reported to attack by snapping the neck at the base of the skull, or 
by strangulation. In the event of an attack, personnel are to observe 
Class 4 hazardous object containment procedures. 


Personnel report sounds of scraping stone originating from within 
the container when no one is present inside. This is considered 
normal, and any change in this behaviour should be reported to the 
acting HMCL supervisor on duty. 


The reddish brown substance on the floor is a combination of feces 
and blood. Origin of these materials is unknown. The enclosure 
must be cleaned on a bi-weekly basis.

SCP-174: Ventriloquist's Dummy 


Item #: SCP-174 
Object Class: Safe Euclid, see Incident 174-A 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-174 is to be contained 
within Storage Unit-07 at Site-19. Removal of SCP-174 from 
containment requires the approval of two (2) Level-4 personnel 
familiar with the entity. It is preferable to use personnel with high 
Psychic Resistance Scale scores when interacting with SCP-174. All 
personnel in contact with SCP-174 are to undergo psychological 
evaluation; those who display obsessive or protective tendencies 
toward the item are to be treated with Class-B amnestics and 
monitored for 72 hours. 


Addendum to containment procedures, / /20 : Following Incident 
174-A, SCP-174 and the main chamber of Storage Unit-07 are to be 
monitored at all times via video surveillance. Abnormal activity must 
be reported to Dr. A immediately. Furthermore, a GPS tracking 
device is to be installed on SCP-174 in order to expedite recovery 
should the item translocate outside of Foundation custody. 


Description: SCP-174 is a wooden ventriloquial figure measuring 
21 cm from head to toe, with somewhat ragged clothing and slight 
damage to several sections. Judging by the item's style and state of 
repair, it dates from the early 20th Century. The eyes and mouth of 
SCP-174 can be manipulated by means of a mechanism inside the 
figure. 


When viewed in peripheral vision, subjects report on occasion that 
SCP-174 is looking directly at them with an expression of longing or 
sadness. When subjects look directly at SCP-174, this anomalous 
expression is not visible. Viewing SCP-174 indirectly, such as ina 
mirror or a live video feed, appears to increase the likelihood of this 
effect manifesting itself. Personnel in the vicinity of SCP-174 report 
a general feeling of sadness or sympathy directed toward the figure, 


but cannot explain any reason for these feelings. Prolonged 
exposure can lead to personnel personifying the figure to greater 
extents; those with particularly low Psychic Resistance Scale scores 
will in some cases begin to act as if SCP-174 were a living being 
(e.g. cradling it as if it were a baby). When informed of their 
abnormal behaviour, all personnel revert to standard behaviour 
patterns for at least several minutes. 


Subjects who place SCP-174 on their hand report an urge to 
‘converse’ with it. When questioned, they frequently report that the 
figure is ‘lonely' and needs companionship. The subject will also 
begin speaking for SCP-174 and manipulating its expression. When 
speaking for the figure, the subject's voice will take on a higher- 
pitched, childlike tone. Recordings taken with high-sensitivity 
microphones have determined that at no point does the figure itself 
actually speak, or make any discernible noise. Regardless of the 
subject's experience, the act will be almost perfect. The 
‘conversation’ will quickly move toward a discussion of the figure's 
emotional state, particularly in relation to its past, in most cases 
leading to the retelling by the figure of a story of how it was 
abandoned or mistreated. No one story has ever been repeated, 
and therefore which, if any, is true is unknown. Researchers have 
theorised that SCP-174 may have low-level telepathic abilities, as 
each story seems to be based around a theme that will have 
particular resonance with the current subject. 


Past this point, subjects will show great affection for SCP-174, and 
will attempt to ‘protect’ it from people who come too close or try to 
interact with it, in some cases with deadly force. Subjects often refer 
to SCP-174 as their 'baby’, or use similarly strong terms of 
endearment when referring to it. This effect persists for several 
hours after SCP-174 and the subject have been separated, and in at 
least one case the effect had not dissipated 2 weeks after final 
interaction. Whether the effect would ever have lessened is 
unknown, as the subject in question was terminated owing to lack of 
compelling reason for further study. Subjects who are completely 
isolated from SCP-174 will become paranoid as to the figure's 
safety, and often undergo a mental collapse similar to that observed 
in mothers separated from young children. Class-B or stronger 
amnestics have been shown to be effective in curing both the 


obsessive effect and the majority of any resultant mental trauma; 
however, almost all who undergo such treatment complain of 
feelings of loss and can become depressive. 


Addendum 174-1: Experiment Log (transcription of video 
footage) 

Subject: D-14285; Female, 21, no history of violent crime. 
Supervising researcher: Dr. A 

Location: Containment cell-A4 (researcher and staff observing from 
behind two-way mirror), Site-19 


D-14285 is ordered to place SCP-174 on their hand. Subject does 
so after initial hesitation. After several seconds, subject begins a 
mundane conversation with SCP-174. After ~2 minutes, the subject 
asks SCP-174 'What happened to you?’, at which point the figure 
begins to recount a story of how it was left behind and damaged in a 
house fire and subsequently discarded by its original owner. <Note: 
Subject's records indicate that her house was the victim of an arson 
attack in 19 .> Subject begins to console the figure, and reassure it 
with standard positive statements. Figure remarks that it is lonely 
and wants to find friends. Subject begins to punch and pound the 
door with their free hand. When guards enter the cell sidearms 
raised, the subject recoils to the corner of the cell, cradling the figure 
and whispering to it (exact words not picked up by microphone). 
Guards succeed in removing SCP-174 from the subject, and leave 
the cell. At this point the subject screams ‘they have him, my 
wonderful baby’, and begins punching and kicking the door in a futile 
escape attempt. 


Note: At this point Dr. A ordered the experiment concluded. 
D-14285 was terminated after attempts to calm her failed (this 
experiment was one of the first conducted with SCP-174, before the 
efficacy of amnestics had become apparent). 


Addendum 174-2: Incident 174-A 

On / /20 ,Dr.A entered Storage Unit-07 to find SCP-174 
sitting on the floor next to its containment unit, looking directly at the 
main entrance door. The door to SCP-174's unit had been sealed 
shut, with no access having been logged in the previous week. After 
being replaced in containment, video surveillance was installed 
within Storage Unit-07 as a precaution against future translocations, 


and a GPS tracking unit was attached to SCP-174.

SCP-175: Treasure Map 


Item #: SCP-175 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-175 is to be kept ina 
metal safe when not undergoing testing. The safe is to be secured in 
a storage room at Site- , with other low-maintenance SCPs. The 
room will be guarded by two security guards at all times in 
accordance with security protocol [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Description: When not “active,” SCP-175 resembles a yellowed 
piece of parchment, slightly larger than a standard piece of paper. 
The edges are torn, and it appears weathered and brittle. However, 
SCP-175 is actually quite supple and is indestructible despite its 
worn appearance, having resisted all attempts to remove pieces for 
testing. 


The more interesting properties of SCP-175 are revealed when 
moved in relative proximity to a buried object. The proximity range 
seems to vary under unknown parameters: SCP-175 has become 
“active” in distances from as short as 30 meters to as far as several 
kilometers. However, on average the distance ranges between 100 
and 200 meters. 


When SCP-175 becomes “active,” its appearance changes to 
become either a map, a set of directions to the buried object, or 
some hybrid thereof. Though the approximate size and shape of 
SCP-175 remain constant, its appearance may change to resemble 
various other paper and parchment varieties, and the writing or 
drawing implement and style vary as well, seemingly based on the 
mindset of the individual or individuals who buried the object. For a 
partial list of buried objects and their buriers, see Document 175-08. 


If the buried object is dug up, or the map is removed from the 
proximity of the object, SCP-175 reverts back to its normal state. 


Document #175-08: Partial list of buriers, buried objects, and 
appearances of SCP-175. All experiments took place at [DATA 
EXPUNGED] unless otherwise stated. 


Dr. buried a wooden box. SCP-175 became a piece of graph 
paper, with a pencil-drawn map of the surrounding area, complete 
with a legend in the bottom-left. The location of the treasure was 
clearly marked. Dr. remarked that the handwriting on SCP-175 
looked identical to his own. 


, a 5-year-old female child of Dr. __, was instructed to bury a 
wooden box with a couple of her toys in it. SCP-175 became a 
crayon-drawn map of the surrounding area on a white piece of 
paper, clearly modeled on the style of a normal child of that age. 


, a 10-year-old male child of Agent __, was instructed to 
bury a box containing some of his comic books. SCP-175 became a 
list of instructions on lined yellow paper, based on several 
landmarks in the area (trees, rocks, etc). The instructions included 
where to start, and how many paces to take to the next landmark, 
the direction to turn, and eventually, where to dig. The instructions 
were complete with misspellings appropriate for the knowledge of a 
child of that age. 


, a well-respected professional landscape artist, was 
instructed to bury an empty wooden box. SCP-175 became a 
canvas with an accurately painted overhead view of the surrounding 
area, with an “x” to mark the spot where the box was buried. 


, a professional puzzle-maker and crossword-puzzle 
maker, was instructed to bury a wooden box. SCP-175 became a 
piece of graph paper with several inked crossword and various other 
word puzzles, along with a meta-puzzle. Solving the smaller puzzles 
was necessary to find the letters to solve the meta-puzzle, which 
was a list of instructions for where to find the buried object. 


Agent , who remembered a box with various objects that he had 
buried in his backyard at the age of 8, traveled with a research team 
to [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-175 became a pencil-drawn map of 
the surrounding area, along with labels that did not match his current 
handwriting, but did match his handwriting from papers his parents 


had kept that he had done at that age. Most remarkably, the map 
included several trees that had been cut down in the years since the 
box was buried. 


A D-class personnel who had been a professional architect before 
his conviction as a serial killer was instructed to bury a wooden box. 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. For full details, those with sufficient clearance 
should see Addendum 175-13. 


During transport of SCP-175, along with numerous other safe SCPs 
to [DATA EXPUNGED], one of the guards in the truck reported a 
high-pitched whine coming from the crate containing SCP-175. As 
per protocol, the truck was stopped and evacuated, and the nearest 
task force, Mobile Task Force Omega-7 (Pandora’s Box) was sent to 
investigate after being briefed on the contents of the crate. 
According to the debrief, they found a sheet of metal which was 
emitting the whine, and the sound increased in pitch and volume as 
they neared a specific location. Digging in this area uncovered SCP- 

, at which point the metal sheet reverted to the “inactive” state of 
SCP-175. 


Addendum 175-13: On , a D-class personnel who had been a 
professional architect prior to his conviction as a serial killer was 
instructed to bury a wooden box; the intended purpose of this 
experiment was to see what SCP-175 would look like when buried 
by an architect. When Dr. looked at SCP-175, once the box was 
buried, he immediately screamed, dropped to his knees, clutching 
his head with both hands, dropping SCP-175 to the ground, luckily, 
face-down. Agent __, who was standing by the side of Dr. 

during this experiment, reported a flickering mass of color anda 
sense of extreme nausea at a glimpse of SCP-175 before it drifted 
to the ground. He quickly dug up the box, in order to reset SCP-175. 
Dr. went into a coma after this incident, and intense 
psychological screening of the D-class subject revealed a well- 
hidden schizophrenia and sociopathy. Since this experiment, strict 
protocol has been put in place to protect the mental health of 
researchers.

SCP-176: Observable Time Loop 


Item #: SCP-176 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-176 is contained on-site 
under the cover of industrial chemical contamination. Any civilians 
attempting to enter SCP-176 must be detained. 


Multiple high-speed cameras are set up within the observation room 
and linked to continuously running analysis computers. If any 
deviation is observed in the recorded sequence, all recorded data 
must be immediately backed up and senior staff notified. 


Description: SCP-176 is an abandoned chemical factory situated 
near [DATA EXPUNGED]. The building consists of a factory floor 
and an observation room on the second floor, separated from the 
main room by one-way mirrors. There are three entrances to the 
building: 


¢ A three-bay loading dock, whose doors have been welded 
shut. 

¢ A ground-floor employee entrance. 

¢ A second-floor observation room entrance, accessible via a 
metal staircase on the north end of the building. 


When the main building is entered via the loading dock or employee 
entrance, no anomalies are observed, merely an empty room in 
severe disuse and disrepair with a small amount of metallic debris 
consistent with a stripped down, abandoned factory. The inside 
staircase leading up to the observation room is missing and 
inaccessible, and so far every attempt to enter the observation room 
via the inside of the factory through the access door or windows has 
failed. 


When the observation room is entered via the second-floor outside 


door, a factory observation room consistent in disuse and disrepair 
to the rest of the building is found. However, when the factory floor is 
viewed through the observation room windows, the anomalous 
property of SCP-176 is visible. 


The view from the observation room window shows a static, 
repeating scene that lasts approximately 11.3 seconds before 
repeating. Visible through the window is a room of the same 
dimensions and layout as the factory floor, but painted white and 
sterilized. Set up in the middle of the room is a huge electronic 
device of indeterminate function covering at least 50 square meters 
and extending approximately 2 meters in height at its highest point. 
Five individuals in white clean suits appear to be working on the 
device. 


Approximately 5.9 seconds into the scene, the employee entrance 
door bursts open and four individuals wearing black tactical armor 
with no identifying marks or emblems enter the room and open fire 
on the research personnel. At 11.3 seconds, the device in the center 
of the room emits an intense flash of light and radiation, and the 
scene resets. Analysis of thousands of instances of the scene has 
shown no variation in the sequence. 


So far, all attempts at interacting with the scene have failed; any 
attempts to breach the window or door from within the observation 
room are met with resistance inconsistent with the suggested 
strength of the materials comprising their frames. To date, all 
attempts that have resulted in successful penetration of the door or 
window have resulted in the damage being instantly reverted along 
with the sequence during the burst of light. Any tools or limbs 
extended outside of the observation room are cleanly severed, and 
have never been found. 


Research is ongoing into the nature of the device at the center of 
SCP-176, as well as the identities of the individuals involved. 


Addendum 176-1: Further Analysis of Individuals in SCP-176 


Analysis has yielded the following information regarding the 
individuals visible in the scene: 


Unidentified researcher #1: male Caucasian, approximately 
40 years of age, with brown hair and green eyes. Stands in 
the southeast corner of the room, reading from a standing 
monitor. Hit three times in the chest by automatic fire at 
approximately 8.1 seconds and appears to be killed instantly. 
Unidentified researcher #2: male Asian, approximately 35 
years of age, with black hair and brown eyes. Stands to the 
left of researcher #1, carries a clipboard with indecipherable 
writing on a note pad. Hit once in right shoulder at 8.0 
seconds before dropping to the floor, out of sight behind the 
device. 

Unidentified researcher #3: female Caucasian, 
approximately 40 years of age, with brown hair and amber 
eyes. Sits at a desk in the southwest corner of the room, 
working at a computer station. Is out of the line of sight when 
the gunfire begins, and takes cover under the desk. Appears 
to be reaching for a weapon of some sort shortly before the 
end of the sequence. 

Unidentified researcher #4: male Caucasian, approximately 
45 years of age, with brown hair and indeterminate eyes. 
Stands in front of the device to the northeast, with his back to 
the observation room. Shot twice in the head at 7.2 seconds, 
killed instantly. 

Unidentified researcher #5: male, indeterminate. Stands in 
the northwest corner, mostly obscured. Presumably shot at 
approximately 7.8 seconds and drops down, out of sight. 
Unidentified assailant #1: male, indeterminate, wielding a 
suppressed M4A1. Enters first, shoots researcher #4 and 
researcher #5, then moves towards the device. 

Unidentified assailant #2: male, indeterminate, wielding a 
suppressed MPS5N. Enters second, turns left and shoots 
researcher #1 and researcher #2, then sweeps towards the 
southeast. 

Unidentified assailant #3: male, indeterminate, wielding a 
suppressed MP5N. Enters third, turns right and moves under 
the observation room. 

Unidentified assailant #4: male, indeterminate, wielding a 
suppressed TMP. Stays at the door, covering the others.

SCP-177: Checkmate 


Item #: SCP-177 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to the safe level of the 
object, SCP-177 is to be contained in Dr. Calib's room, to be moved 
only at his discretion, or at that of a Level 4 Administrator. SCP-177 
is to be kept in a level-4 storage locker. During use of SCP-177, 
standard rules of chess must be adhered to; any test subject 
attempting to cheat or deviate from these rules is to be escorted 
from the room. 


Description: SCP-177 is an eight by eight square standard chess 
board measuring 40 cm by 40 cm. On the board are 16 pawns, two 
Kings, two Queens, four Bishops, four Knights, and four rooks, 
totaling 16 black and 16 white pieces. All items are carved out of 
elephant ivory. The white pieces are moveable, and can even be 
removed from the board with minimal force; the black pieces, 
however, cannot be removed from the board, or moved by any 
outside force; forces in excess of 3 kilo-newtons have been applied 
to the black pieces, only resulting in damaged equipment. 


When a legal opening move is made using the white pieces, 
SCP-177 enters an active state. When active, SCP-177 can be used 
to play a game of chess using standard rules (white moves first, 
pawns can move two squares on first move, etc.). The black pieces 
move autonomously, and after a move is made using the white 
pieces, that piece becomes immovable until black makes a move. 
When a piece is captured, it is moved off to the side of the board 
and removed from play automatically. In the case of the white side 
winning, the black pieces all return to their original positions, and no 
further effects are noted until a new game starts. If black should win, 
the black pieces do a celebratory "dance" and the white pieces fall 
down, before righting themselves to their original position. Should a 
stalemate occur, all pieces fall down and return to original positions. 


Addendum: History of SCP-177: SCP-177 was brought into 
Foundation custody 03/ /199 , following a routine sweep of antique 
stores in the area of London, England. The shop in question was 
found to be mundane, with the exception of SCP-177, which was 
acquired by Dr. Calib. The shop has since been under surveillance 
for any further anomalous activity. 


Partial Test Log: 


Test #: 001 

White Player: D-177-01, female, Caucasian, age 25. Subject 
chosen for her aptitude in chess. 

Results of Game: Heavy casualties on black side, ending in 
checkmate for black after 60 moves. 


Test #: 014 

White Player: D-177-01, same subject as previous 13 games. 
Results of Game: Few casualities on black side, ending ina 
resignation from D-177-01 at 50 turns; almost all white pieces were 
captured. This is the first recorded instance of SCP-177 actually 
winning a game. 


Test #: 025 

White Player: male, Chinese, age 34. Local chess 

champion in the town of [REDACTED], Jiangsu Province, PRC. Mr. 
was informed that SCP-177 was operated remotely by an 

advanced chess computer developed by Sherman Computer 

Products. 

Results of Game: SCP-177 successfully promoted one of its pawns 

to a queen, and used this piece to place Mr. _ into check several 

times before an eventual checkmate at 75 turns. Mr. 

administered amnestics and released. 


Test #: 051 

White Player: male, Japanese, age 50. Former Japanese 
National Chess champion. 

Results of Game: SCP-177 had considerably long pauses between 
turns (often in excess of 10 minutes), and moved pieces slowly. 
Eventually, Mr. resigned, declaring that the board was "Broken" 
and "Taking too damn long". In future tests, time control will be used 
to ensure there are no repeats of this test. Mr. administered 


amnestics and released. 


Test #: 167 

White Player: Dr. Calib, chess expert and head researcher on 
SCP-177. Dr. Calib requested to play a game with SCP-177. 
Results of Game: Checkmate for SCP-177 at 154 turns. Dr. Calib 
proclaimed that it was the "best damn game of chess [he] had ever 
played", and expressed interest in a rematch. 


Test #: 200 

White Player: "Deep Blue" chess computer 

Results of Game: SCP-177 narrowly lost to Deep Blue in 50 
moves. Since this time, SCP-177's chess strategy has been noted to 
be greatly improving. 


Test #: 406 

White Player: Dr. Calib 

Results of Game: Checkmate for Dr. Calib in 11 turns, a new 
record for SCP-177. Dr. Calib stated that SCP-177 "must have 
cheated", citing the misuse of the en passant move. Footage shows 
that SCP-177 played legitimately. 


Test #: 529 

White Player: ,20 World Chess Champion. Mr. was 
informed that SCP-177 was being controlled by an advanced chess 
computer developed by Sherman Computer Products. 

Results of Game: Mr. lost to SCP-177 in 90 moves, stating that 
"whoever programmed this computer was a genius". Mr. was 
administered Class-A amnestics following testing and released. 


Test #: 702 

White Player: "Rybka" Chess Computer, winner of 2007-2010 
World Chess Computer Championships. 

Results of Game: SCP-177 won in 25 moves. 


Test #: 975 

White Player: "Andersenn", a chess computer developed by Dr. 
Calib with the express purpose of beating SCP-177. Computer was 
built to be able to deviate from rules of chess and "cheat" if 
necessary. White pieces manipulated by robotic arm. 

Results of Game: Game progressed normally until turn 63, when 


Andersenn attempted to move the white queen in an L-shape similar 
to a knight in order to achieve check. Following this, SCP-177 was 
"thrown" at Andersenn by an unseen force at over km/h, resulting 
in the destruction of several vital circuits in the computer. 


New protocol. No cheating. Do | even need to say what would 
happen to a human if they cheated against this thing?! -Dr. Calib

SCP-178: "3-D" Specs 


Item #: SCP-178 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-178 is to be stored ina 
Class 3 Anomalous Object Container guarded by no fewer than two 
(2) armed personnel with Level 3 clearance when not undergoing 
testing. Item is to be removed from containment only with the written 
permission of personnel with Level 4 clearance or higher. Following 
Incident #178-14-Alpha all tests are to be monitored remotely 
and the presence of all personnel apart from test subjects in 
the testing area during experimentation is expressly prohibited. 


Description: SCP-178 is a pair of white stereoscopic (“3-D”) 
glasses with a rectangular white cardboard frame and lenses of 
transparent blue and red (left and right lenses, respectively) plastic. 
The item exhibits no unusual physical properties apart from a slight 
discoloration of the cardboard consistent with age. When worn, the 
wearer begins perceiving large bipedal entities in addition to its 
ordinary surroundings. Entities reportedly exhibit a docile and 
occasionally curious behavior (reports include entities leaning over 
the shoulder of persons working and observing them with interest), 
with one exception. Any attempt by the wearer or any other 
personnel (see Incident Report #178-14-Alpha) to directly interact 
with the entities results in severe lacerations suddenly appearing on 
persons involved. The appearance of lacerations is rapid and 
continues until the moment the wearer expires. The pattern of 
lacerations is always consistent with being slashed with three (3) 
parallel, tapered sharp objects of lengths varying between 14.2 and 
27.4 cm and maximum thickness varying between 2.9 and 8.1 cm. 
Recording and measuring devices used during testing failed to 
detect any anomalies, including while lacerations were appearing on 
subject(s). Subjects do not report hearing any sounds emanating 
from the entities. Long-term observation of subjects exposed to the 


item reveals no lasting effects. Stereoscopic images viewed through 
the item appear three-dimensional. 


Addendum #1: Item was recovered on / /19 in , Tennessee, 
by Agent [REDACTED], operating as deep cover agent in the U.S. 
Fish and Wildlife Service, who arrived in the town following reports 
ofa year old child being found dead in her second-floor bedroom 
apparently as a result of an unusual mauling. Agent [REDACTED] 
noticed a bloodstained stereoscopic image of a Ferris wheel 
adjacent to where the child was discovered, and after some 
searching, found the item under the child’s bed where it had 
apparently been thrown during the child’s death throes. Agent 
[REDACTED] then proceeded to call a recovery team to his location. 
Following the recovery team’s arrival, Agent [REDACTED] wore the 
item and looked at the image, reporting nothing unusual until he 
turned his head to his left, whereupon he noticed an entity 
approximately “an inch” from his face leaning over his shoulder and 
looking at the stereoscopic image. In the debriefing Agent 
[REDACTED] reported also noticing several other entities in the 
room observing him and the recovery team. Agent [REDACTED] 
refrained from attempting to interact with the entities and the item 
was recovered without incident. 


Addendum #2: All experiments are to be logged in file #1 78-E. 


Addendum #3: Personnel with Level 4 Clearance are urged to read 
Incident Report #178-14-Alpha. Reading Incident Report #178-14- 
Alpha is mandatory for all personnel with Level 4 Clearance or 
higher overseeing or approving experiments with the item. 
WARNING: Failure to comply with Addendum #3 is grounds for 
disciplinary measures.

Experiment 178-e-1 
Name: Dr. with Dr. and Dr. assisting. 
Date: / /19 


Procedure: D-class subject is to be placed in secured test chamber 
containing SCP-178. The test chamber is to be observed via 
bulletproof glass window to adjacent control room and via audio and 
video recording devices. D-class subject will be instructed to wear 
SCP-178 and report what it observes until told otherwise. 


Results: Subject D-17831 (Male, 41, no discernible mental 
abnormalities) is placed in the chamber and told to wear SCP-178. 
Subject is not told of SCP-178’s nature. Subject does as instructed, 
then immediately expresses distress by throwing SCP-178 away 
and covering its eyes while vocalizing fear. Research staff instructs 
subject to describe the source of its distress. Subject unresponsive. 
Research staff attempts to calm subject. Subject responds by 
uncovering its face and looking around, appearing to still be 
distressed. Research staff instructs the subject once again to 
describe the source of its distress. Subject responds by stating the 
presence of an unfamiliar entity in close proximity to its face the 
moment it wore SCP-178. Research staff instructs subject to 
describe the entity in detail. Subject responds by stating entity was 
“hideous” and “had too many eyes”. Research staff instructs subject 
to describe the entity in greater detail. Subject states it did not 
manage to perceive many details before removing SCP-178. 
Research staff instructs subject to wear SCP-178. Subject 
uncooperative. Research staff repeats instruction. Subject 
uncooperative. Research staff threatens subject with termination 


unless it cooperates. Subject uncooperative. Testing is ended and 
subject placed under surveillance to test for long-lasting symptoms 
of exposure. Subject displays symptoms of mild paranoia for two 
days before returning to normal behavioral patterns. Surveillance 
ended after thirty days and subject terminated. 


Note: Well, this wasn’t very informative but at least it confirms we 
have an actual anomalous object in our hands. 


Experiment 178-e-2 
Name: Dr. with Dr. and Dr. assisting. 
Date: / /19 


Procedure: D-class subject is to be placed in secured test chamber 
containing SCP-178. The test chamber is to be observed via 
bulletproof glass window to adjacent control room and via audio and 
video recording devices. D-class subject will be instructed to wear 
SCP-178 and report what it observes until told otherwise. 


Results: Subject D-63164 (Female, 31, no discernible mental 
abnormalities) is placed in the chamber and instructed to wear 
SCP-178. Subject is not told of SCP-178’s true nature. Subject does 
as instructed and immediately begins emitting expletives and 
walking backwards towards the chamber’s wall, looking intently at 
something to its one-o’clock. Research staff instructs subject to 
describe what it is seeing. Subject presses its back to chamber wall 
and describes seeing an entity standing halfway across the test 
chamber by the wall looking at the wall. Research staff instructs 
subject to describe the entity in detail. Subject states the entity is 
bipedal, possesses two additional upper appendages ending in large 
conical protrusions and a smooth head. Research staff instructs 
subject to provide additional details. Subject begins describing the 
entity and then suddenly expresses distress, stating “oh god it’s 
looking right at me!” Subject collapses against test chamber wall, 
still staring in the same direction. Research staff inquires as to 
whether entity is exhibiting hostility or not. Subject states that it is 
not moving, but looking at it. Subject instructed to remove SCP-178. 
Subject refuses, stating that it does not trust the entity. Subject 


reminded that uncooperative behavior will result in termination. 
Subject removes SCP-178 and begins looking around the test 
chamber in distress, stating that it can no longer see the entity. 
Subject instructed to wear SCP-178. Subject complies and states 
that the entity is still looking at it. Subject instructed to report any 
changes in the entity's behavior. Two minutes and 37 seconds pass 
before subject states the entity is no longer looking at it. Subject 
states entity is looking at the wall again. Subject reports no further 
changes for 17 minutes and 55 seconds. Test ended. 


Notes: It seems strange that the thing the subject saw was so 
disinterested, given the way the item came into Foundation 
attention. We didn’t pick anything up in any of the recording 
equipment either, | wonder if this entity is really there or an illusion 
generated by the item. 


Experiment 178-e-3 
Name: Dr. with Dr. and Dr. assisting. 
Date: / /19 


Procedure: D-class subject is to be placed in secured test chamber 
containing SCP-178. The test chamber is to be observed via 
bulletproof glass window to adjacent control room and via audio and 
video recording devices. A fractal blue and red image is to be placed 
on one wall of the test chamber and a plastic bin containing ten 
standard tennis balls is to be placed near the opposite wall. D-class 
subject will be told SCP-178 is an experiment in next generation “3- 
D specs” and that staring at the fractal image while wearing 
SCP-178 will allow it to see animated three-dimensional images. D- 
class subject will then be instructed to wear SCP-178 and report 
what it observes. In case the subject perceives any entities it will be 
instructed to throw a tennis ball at them. 


Results: D-51441 (Male, 27, Arson, Murder, no discernible mental 
abnormalities) is instructed to stand at the end of the test chamber 
opposite the fractal image and wear SCP-178. Subject complies and 
expresses surprise and discomfort. Subject instructed to describe 
what it perceives. Subject states it perceives two entities standing in 


the room, one (from now on referred to as Entity 1) next to the 
fractal image with its back to the subject and the other (from now on 
referred to as Entity 2) crossing the room from left to right. Subject 
opines that the person who designed the “animation” is mentally 
unbalanced. Subject instructed to describe Entity 2’s gait. Subject 
states it walks using both its legs and upper appendages. Subject 
equates Entity 2’s gait to that of a gorilla “if someone put its skeleton 
together wrong”. Research staff inquires whether both entities are 
similar. Subject replies that apart from size, they appear to be 
generally similar. Subject then proceeds to describe entities fitting 
the description of the entity in Experiment #178-e-2. Subject 
instructed to pick up one tennis ball and throw it at Entity 2. Subject 
complies. Both the research staff and the audio recording devices 
observe the ball moving uninterrupted until it hits the floor on the 
opposite side of the test chamber. Subject expresses surprise and 
distress, attempting to back away for 0.7 seconds before severe 
lacerations begin appearing on its body. Appearance of lacerations 
continues for 4.7 seconds until subject presumably expires from 
massive bleeding and trauma. Autopsy on expired subject reveals 
lacerations consistent with being slashed by three sharp objects, 
relatively thick and tapering to a point approximately 17 cm in length 
and 4 cm in maximum width. Analysis of ball thrown by subject 
discovers only trace amounts of human sweat, matching Subject 
D-51441. 


Notes: Holy [EXPLETIVE REDACTED]! It would appear that these 
things don’t like being disturbed. On the other hand, that ball sailed 
through the air like nothing was there and with the death of the 
subject we cannot know if it indeed passed where the entity “was” or 
not. This is still far from conclusive, but the pattern of laceration 
matches the findings at the item’s recovery site so at least we've 
established beyond any doubt that it is dangerous. It’s interesting to 
note that so far the entities are pretty consistent in appearance, 
despite variance between test subjects. | wonder if any non-violent 
interaction between the subject and the entities is possible. 


Experiment 178-e-4 


Name: Dr. with Dr. and Dr. assisting. 


Date: / /19 


Procedure: D-class subject is to be placed in secured test chamber 
containing SCP-178. The test chamber is to be observed via 
bulletproof glass window to adjacent control room, via audio and 
video recording devices, via infra-red cameras, electromagnetic 
radiation sensors and motion detectors. A fractal blue and red image 
is to be placed on one wall of the test chamber. D-class subject will 
be told SCP-178 is an experiment in next generation “3-D specs” 
and that staring at the fractal image while wearing SCP-178 will 
allow it to see animated three-dimensional images. D-class subject 
will then be instructed to wear SCP-178 and report what it observes. 
In case the subject perceives any entities it will be instructed to 
attempt to speak with them. 


Results: D-84291 (Female, 19, no discernible mental abnormalities) 
is instructed to stand near the wall opposite of the fractal image and 
wear SCP-178. Subject complies and immediately expresses 
revulsion. Subject instructed to describe what it perceives. Subject 
describes one entity similar to those previously reported standing 
approximately two meters from it and looking at it. Subject instructed 
to attempt to speak to it. Subject appears confused as to why it 
would attempt to speak to an animated image. Research staff 
repeats instruction. Subject expresses irritation and says “Hello, 
weird thing, how are you today?” in a bored manner. Lacerations 
begin appearing on subject’s torso and abdomen 0.2 seconds after 
subject finishes speaking. Subject’s right arm severed above the 
elbow after 2.4 seconds. Laceration and subject vocalization stops 
after 8.4 seconds when subject presumably expires. Autopsy on 
expired subject reveals the same kind of lacerations, indicating 
sharp objects approximately 21 cm in length and 5 cm in width. 


Notes: | guess that means we can assume that any attempt to 
interact with the entities ends in hostility. And nothing on any of the 
sensors either. We're establishing a pattern here, but the main 
question is still whether the death of the subjects is caused by the 
item or by external entities. | wonder if subjects not wearing the item 
can be affected by it. 


Experiment 178-e-5 


Name: Dr. with Dr. and Dr. assisting. 
Date: / /19 


Procedure: Two D-class subjects are to be placed in secured test 
chamber containing SCP-178. The test chamber is to be observed 
via bulletproof glass window to adjacent control room, via audio and 
video recording devices, via infra-red cameras, electromagnetic 
radiation sensors and motion detectors. Both subjects will have 
general knowledge of the properties of SCP-178. One subject 
(designated Subject 1) will be instructed to wear SCP-178 and will 
describe to the other subject (designated Subject 2) the location and 
appearance of any perceived entities in the test chamber. Subject 2 
will then attempt to interact with the entities. 


Results: Subject 1 (D-61955, Female, 35, Three counts of murder, 
GBH, no discernible mental abnormality) and Subject 2 (D-57321, 
Female, 27, no discernible mental abnormalities) are placed in the 
test chamber. Subject 1 instructed to wear SCP-178. Subject 1 
expresses dislike for the research staff. Subject 2 concurs. 
Research staff reminds both subjects that uncooperative behavior is 
grounds for termination. Subject 1 wears SCP-178 and begins 
emitting expletives. Subject 2 expresses distress and inquires as to 
the reason for Subject 1’s consternation. Subject 1 states that 
“There’s one right behind you!” Subject 2 turns around and states 
that it cannot see anything unusual. Research staff calms both 
subjects by assuring them the perceived entities are harmless and 
instructs Subject 1 to assist Subject 2 in making contact with the 
entities. Subject 1 states that there is an entity “about a foot” in front 
of her, and that the entity’s head is “about two feet” taller than her. 
Subject 2 inquires whether the entity is looking at it. Subject 1 
replies in the affirmative. Subject 2 attempts to calm itself and 
proceeds to look where it considers the entity’s head to be and say 
“Umm, hi there?” Lacerations immediately begin appearing on 
Subject 2’s torso and face for 0.9 seconds before Subject 2’s neck is 
severed. Subject 1 vocalizes acute distress and runs towards the 
test chamber door. Subject 1 attempts to bludgeon the door open 
unsuccessfully for 5 seconds before turning around and saying, 
presumably to a perceived entity “No! Get away!” Subject 1 begins 
suffering lacerations across the abdomen and torso. Movement, 


laceration and vocalization cease simultaneously after 17.3 
seconds. Autopsy on expired subjects revealed two different 
laceration patterns. The relatively few lacerations suffered by 
Subject 2 are consistent with lacerations caused by three sharp 
objects approximately 27 cm in length and 8 cm in maximum width 
while the many lacerations suffered by Subject 1 are consistent with 
lacerations caused by three sharp objects approximately 14 cm in 
length and 3 cm in width. 


Note: We still don’t know whether the entities are actually there or 
are illusions caused by SCP-178, but now we know they can affect 
more than the wearer. This means that this object is potentially 
much more dangerous than we initially surmised. Interestingly 
enough, the two subjects showed different laceration patterns, as 
though they were inflicted by different entities. A shame we didn’t 
ask Subject 1 about the number of entities in the room, we'll do 
better next time. It is also possible that subject wouldn’t have been 
harmed if she hadn’t addressed the entities herself. That’s also 
worth checking out. 


Experiment 178-e-6 
Name: Dr. with Dr. and Dr. assisting. 
Date: / /19 


Procedure: Two D-class subjects are to be placed in secured test 
chamber containing SCP-178. The test chamber is to be observed 
via bulletproof glass window to adjacent control room, via audio and 
video recording devices, via infra-red cameras, electromagnetic 
radiation sensors and motion detectors. Both subjects will have 
general knowledge of the properties of SCP-178. One subject 
(designated Subject 1) will be instructed to wear SCP-178 and will 
describe to the other subject (designated Subject 2) the location and 
appearance of any perceived entities in the test chamber. Subject 2 
will then attempt to interact with the entities. Subject 1 will be 
instructed not to speak or otherwise interact with entities at any 
eventuality. To ensure this, Subject 1 will be told that any attempt to 
make contact with the entities will result in termination. 


Results: Subject 1 (D-83616, Male, 44, no discernible mental 
abnormality) and Subject 2 (D-36176, Male, 52, no discernible 
mental abnormalities) are placed in the test chamber. Subject 1 is 
instructed to wear SCP-178. Subject 1 uncooperative. Subject 1 
instructed again to wear SCP-178. Subject 1 uncooperative. Subject 
2 urges Subject 1 to cooperate for fear of punitive measures. 
Subject 1 wears SCP-178 and expresses surprise and disgust. 
Research staff inquires as to the number of entities. Subject 1 states 
“they're [EXPLETIVE DELETED] everywhere, Doc. There’s nine of 
them here with us.” Subject 1 then turns to look at the bulletproof 
glass window separating the testing chamber from the control room 
and states “and there’s three in there with you, look, there’s one 
leaning right over your [DATA EXPUNGED] See Incident Report 
#178-14-Alpha for more information. 


Notes: Following the loss of all research staff in Incident 
#178-14-Alpha the containment protocols have been revised. —

Experiment 178-e-7 
Name: Dr. withDr. assisting. 
Date: / /20 


Procedure: D-class subject is to be placed in secured test chamber 
containing SCP-178. The test chamber is to be divided into two 
partitions in a 5:1 ratio with the smaller partition containing the 
chamber entrance separated by bulletproof glass with a small hole 
in the middle covered in steel mesh to allow the passage of sound 
from one partition to the other. The test chamber will be observed 
remotely via audio and video recording devices, via infra-red 
cameras, electromagnetic radiation sensors and motion detectors. 
Subject is to be told of SCP-178’s nature and instructed to wear 
SCP-178 and attempt to communicate with entities on the other side 
of the partition. 


Results: Subject D-13627 (Male, 52, Rape, Double Homicide, no 
discernible mental abnormalities) is placed in the test chamber and 
instructed to wear SCP-178. Subject expresses displeasure but 


complies. Subject instructed to describe what it perceives. Subject 
describes four entities in the other partition. Subjects states entities 
look docile, two of them jabbing the walls and the other two looking 
at it through the glass. Research staff inquires whether any entities 
are present in the subject’s partition. Subject looks around and 
replies that none are present. Subject instructed to attempt to 
communicate with the entities. Subject expresses desire to “get this 
over with”. Subject says, presumably towards the perceived entities 
“Hello, can you hear me?” before recoiling suddenly. Research staff 
inquires as to the reason the subject recoiled. The subject replies 
that the entities have begun pounding the glass with their upper 
appendages. Research staff inquires whether they are succeeding 
in causing any visible damage to the partition. Subject replies that 
they are not. Audio recordings fail to pick up any sounds apart from 
those emitted by the subject. Research staff inquires whether the 
subject can hear the entities pounding on the partition. Subject 
appears perplexed and replies to the negative. No changes occur for 
ten minutes and 14 seconds. Research staff announces the end of 
the experiment. Subject expresses relief and removes SCP-1 78, 
placing it on the floor. Testing chamber door opens and two security 
personnel (Agents [DATA EXPUNGED)]) demand that subject comes 
with them, presumably to D-Class cells. Subject turns towards door 
and begins complying when lacerations begin appearing across his 
face, torso and upper arms. Subject vocalizes distress and both 
security personnel recoil and emit expletives. Agent [REDACTED] 
radios a containment breach. Agent [REDACTED] begins firing his 
weapon into the chamber, hitting and killing the subject after 2.1 
seconds of being lacerated. Containment teams are mobilized to the 
testing area and the sector goes into lockdown. Searches are 
concluded after an hour and 4 minutes without any findings or 
further incidents and lockdown is lifted. SCP-178 is found where 
Subject D-13627 dropped it. 


Note: [EXPLETIVE REDACTED], that could have been catastrophic. 
First time we get to experiment on SCP-178 and the whole sector 
goes into lockdown. The brass aren't going be pleased, | think we 
should come up with some lower-risk experiments for the 
foreseeable future. | guess any wearer that attempts to establish 
contact with the entities can die even after removing SCP-178. It’s 
interesting to note that Agent [REDACTED] suffered no ill effect 


despite firing “at” the entity. | estimate it is because he had only very 
limited knowledge about the entities observed by those who wear 
the item. 


Experiment 178-e-8 
Name: Dr. withDr. assisting. 
Date: / /20 


Procedure: D-class subject is to be placed in secured test chamber 
containing SCP-178 and a video camera connected to monitor. The 
test chamber is to be observed remotely via audio and video 
recording devices, via infra-red cameras, electromagnetic radiation 
sensors and motion detectors. Subject is to be instructed to hold 
SCP-178 up to the camera and report what it sees on the monitor. 
The camera is both connected to the monitor and to an external 
recording device. Pending the success of the experiment, the 
research staff will submit a request to view the recording. 


Results: Subject D-61286 (Female, 28, fifteen counts of GBH, Two 
counts of murder, no discernible mental abnormalities) is placed in 
the test chamber and instructed to pick up SCP-178 and hold it up to 
the camera. Subject complies and holds SCP-178 approximately 
twenty centimeters from the camera. Subject instructed to hold 
SCP-178 up to the camera so that it “sees” through it. Subject 
inquires as to which lens it should hold it to. Subject instructed to 
hold the red lens up to the camera. Subject complies. Research staff 
inquires whether the monitor displays anything unusual. Subject 
replies to the negative. Subject instructed to hold the blue lens up to 
the camera. Subject complies and reports that the monitor still does 
not display anything unusual. Subject instructed to put down the 
camera and wear SCP-178. Subject complies. Subject vocalizes 
acute distress, stumbling backwards while staring at the monitor. 
Research staff inquires as to the source of the subject’s distress. 
Subject reports three entities crouched in front of the monitor, 
looking at it. Subject instructed to remove SCP-178. Test ended. 


Notes: It would appear that either the item functions similarly to 
ordinary stereoscopic glasses and requires two “eyes”, or that the 


effect isn’t merely optic. There’s a way to test that. 


Experiment 178-e-9 
Name: Dr. withDr. assisting. 
Date: N\A. Proposed: / /20 


Procedure: D-class subject placed in secured test chamber 
containing SCP-178 and a special mount containing two small video 
cameras simulating a pair of human eyes connected to monitor that 
splices both images together in real time to create image, similar to 
the way stereoscopic sight works. Test chamber observed remotely 
via audio and video recording devices, via infra-red cameras, 
electromagnetic radiation sensors and motion detectors. Subject is 
to be instructed to hold SCP-178 up to the camera and report what 
he sees on the monitor. The camera is set to record. Pending 
success, the research staff will submit a request to view the 
recording.

SCP-179: Sauelsuesor 


Item #: SCP-179 
Object Class: Safe Thaumiel 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-179 remains beyond the 
reach of currently known groups of interest, including the 
Foundation. All containment efforts are to be focused towards a 
Grade 3 Omission cover-up, coupled with the discouragement or 
sabotage of exploration and research missions that attempt to study 
cis-Mercurian space and orbits that go through it. 


Description: SCP-179 is a humanoid entity located at a constant 
distance of approximately 40,000 km from the South polar region of 
the solar photosphere, locked to the rotation axis of Sol. However, it 
does not orbit it; the most recent recordings of SCP-179 indicate that 
it seems to maintain a continuous orbit around the center of the 
galaxy. 


Through the combined effort of 43 years of continuous surveying, 
the external appearance of SCP-179 has been defined as a human 
female of undetermined ethnic group of between twenty and forty 
years of age. Its entire bodily surface is covered in or composed of a 
matte black material. Its hair appears to be composed of this 
material, measures over 34 km long and is constantly pushed away 
by solar wind. However, this part of SCP-179 seems to reflect 
variable amounts of sunlight — this reflection being the 
phenomenon that indicated its existence to Foundation 
astrophysicists during 1940. Several markings or tattoos are placed 
throughout its bodily midline. Judging from their brightness, these 
markings might be of metallic composition and of a golden hue. 


These tattoos include several symbols that have been identified as 
those typically representing the Sun and the six innermost planets of 
the Solar System according to medieval alchemy, including, in this 
order: 


¢ The symbol of gold in the subject's forehead, right underneath 
the hair line. 

¢ The symbol of mercury under the nose, circling both lips. 

* The symbol of copper between the medial ends of its 

clavicles. 

[DATA EXPUNGED - AUTOCENSOR LEVEL SC 4 - NON- 

TRIVIAL COGNITOHAZARD DETECTED] with the 

anatomically correct shape of a human heart placed over the 

location where a heart would be in a female human of the 

same apparent age and bodily proportions. 

¢ The symbol of iron in the upper abdominal region. 

¢ The symbol of tin in the lower abdominal region. 

¢ Part of a final symbol in the pelvic region. While the anatomy 
of this region makes its clear observation difficult, it has been 
hypothesized that the symbol of lead is also present and 
complete in the perineum region. 


SCP-179 keeps its ventral side oriented towards Earth most of the 
time, but it has been observed to look towards other areas on 
occasion. [REDACTED]

+ WARNING! UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL WILL BE EXPOSED T 


SCP-179 is sensitive to all radiation in the 
electromagnetic spectrum, intelligent and able to 
communicate through multiple anomalous means, 
including but not limited to radio and laser 
communications interference. Only one instance of 
SCP-179 communication with Foundation personnel has 
occurred thus far, where SCP-179 proved to be fluent in 
French. As this contact did not result in a clear statement 
of SCP-179's intentions towards the Foundation and its 
mission, all efforts must be made to prevent contact by 
any known Groups of Interest with SCP-179. 
Misinformation operations and other preemptive 
measures have been deployed. 


Most recorded movements performed by SCP-179 have 
been related to extraterrestrial threats, both anomalous 
or non-anomalous in nature, on a collision or orbital 
insertion course with the Earth. These threatening items 
have been identified as capable of causing CK-Class 
Reconfiguration events of diverse impact in human 
societies and earthly life in general if allowed to reach 
Earth. If impact with Earth or orbital insertion occurs 
without proper response and containment by Foundation 
operatives, these items of interest may be capable of 
causing XK-Class end-of-the-world scenarios. 


SCP-179 will usually address an item or items of interest 
by pointing at them with an arm and, when more than 
One item of interest is present, will be able to generate 
additional limbs anatomically identical to its arms, as 


needed. Survey data indicates that SCP-179 performs 
other motions specific to each item of interest addressed 
— such as raising different fingers or moving its arms in 
an array of as of yet undecipherable patterns at fixed 
intervals —, but whether this motions contain any 
information or not has not been determined to date. 


The limits of SCP-179's detection capacities have not 
been clearly ascertained. While SCP-179 has been able 
to detect potentially harmful objects beyond the trans- 
Neptunian region, those threats had been detected by 
other surveillance and exploration systems (usually 
under Foundation control) or, in at least three separate 
instances, were visible to the naked eye from Earth. 
However, they had not been immediately recognized as 
threats. It has been hypothesized that SCP-179 may only 
detect and react to active threats that remain detectable 
to other observing parties without the cis-Neptunian 
region, while being able to unerringly determine their 
harmful nature. All items of interest approaching Earth 
within cis-Neptunian space that had considerable 
destructive capacity have been detected by SCP-179 
without failure, often when no observers known to the 
Foundation were aware of them. 


As such, SCP-179 and all personnel, orbital equipment 
and facilities dedicated to its surveillance remain the 
most reliable early warning system the Foundation 
possesses to detect and, when possible, prevent, 
potentially dangerous incursions within surveyed space. 
SCP-179 is able to determine which interplanetary 
objects pose a threat to Earth, humankind or the earthly 
biosphere, which makes it a critical asset for the 
Composite Orbital Early Warning System (COEWS)

Addendum SCP-179-01: Notable Movements of 
SCP-179. 


¢ <13/12/1940> First recorded movement of 


SCP-179. The entity, that had remained with both 
arms crossed, raises an arm towards a previously 
undetected interplanetary object on a collision 
course with Earth. After its impact, in an event that 
damaged the city of [DATA EXPUNGED] 
extensively with large quantities of an anomalous 
mucous secretion and left more than one thousand 
and three hundred dead which, combined with the 
anomalous phenomena related to [REDACTED AS 
PER PREVIOUS EXPUNGEMENT] Remaining 
central item reclassified SCP- .SCP-179 returned 
to its original position. 

<22/09/1942> Sixth recorded movement of 
SCP-179. The entity raises an arm towards 
[REDACTED], on a collision course with Earth. 
Item of interest crashes nearby Auckland, New 
Zealand, in the 04/10/1942. Item separates upon 
impact into several devices of mechanical nature. 
[DATA EXPUNGED] recently formed sub-entities 
with minimal civilian casualties. Once Foundation 
operatives contain the item proper, which is 
reclassified [REDACTED] and terminating most 
sub-entities, SCP-179 returns to its original 
position. Mobile Task Forces [REDACTED, ALL 
DATA ON INVOLVED ASSETS EXPUNGED 
FROM RECORDS] proceeds to track and destroy 
all remaining sub-entities. 

< / /19 > Eighteenth recorded movement of 
SCP-179. The entity raises its right arm towards 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. Up to this date, the entity 
has kept one of its primary arms — shifting from 
one to the other as necessary — pointing in the 


same direction. 

<01/03/1949> 23'd recorded movement of 
SCP-179. The entity raises an arm towards an 
Amor-class asteroid, that has adopted a collision 
course with Earth. The Foundation uses a 
combination of several SCP objects to launch a 
remote-controlled interplanetary vehicle that acts 
as a gravitatory towline; this mission is announced 
a success in 03/05/1951; at this time, SCP-179 
returns to its original position. Note: Surveying 
elements observed that the entity performed a 
motion that could have been a nod. 
Reclassification request to Euclid status filed and 
denied. 

<13/12/1998> 403" recorded movement of 
SCP-179. The entity stops watching the Earth for 
two days and thirteen hours, when it looks towards 
the Jovian system. Once this interval is over, 
SCP-179 looks at Earth again. 

<09/09/2002> 487th recorded movement of 
SCP-179. SCP-179 points at an armed Type-11 
Dimensional Weapon [FURTHER DATA ON 
XCP-11-DW EXPUNGED AS PER 05-11 
EXECUTIVE COMMAND] launched from Area-08 
to test SCP-179's detection capacities. Item 
remains in a primed configuration for minutes, 
ready to be launched at a test location on Earth. It 
is not identified by SCP-179 until it is 3,670 
kilometers above the Earth's surface, when 
SCP-179 reacts to it as a threat and points at it. 
Device subsequently reconfigured to a stand-by 
configuration and redirected towards its primary 
target, [DATA EXPUNGED] still in transit from the 
Kuiper Belt. SCP-179 returns to its previous 
position. 

<16/10/2003> Contact with SCP-179 is achieved 
via the -2 probe. Subsequent movements 
registered in Addendum SCP-179-02. SCP-179 
reclassified Thaumiel. See Addendum 
SCP-179-02. 


Addendum SCP-179-02: Events of 16/10/2003. 


SCP-179 was first approached by the -2 probe, a 
microsatellite equipped with multiple recording, analysis 
and communications devices incorporated into the 
probe in a clandestine operation. The probe acted 
as a relay for the -2 probe and Foundation Mission 
Control. 


Contact and communication with the entity were not 
foreseen nor programmed. When visual contact with 
SCP-179 was established (obtaining an unprecedentedly 
clear, very high resolution image of its surface), the entity 
begins to move its lips, forming the phonemes of a 
greeting in spoken French. What follows is a complete 
translation of the exchange. 


SCP-179 / <17:34:23>: Hello. 
SCP-179 / <17:39:38>: I'm the lookout. 


SCP-179 / <17:42:38>: My name is 
Sauelsuesor. Do you like my brother? | like 
him too. He is big, so big. 


SCP-179 / <17:43:01>: And so very warm. 


SCP-179 / <17:43:11>: If you want to talk to 
me, please use your satellite to weave-talk to 
me. It'll be easier than coming here. Probably. 
(Entity remains immobile until <17:55:53>) 


(Researchers assigned to SCP-179 detect this 
movement. Level 3 Researcher Tomas 
Graham, who is fluent in French, is selected by 
Head Researcher [REDACTED] to conduct a 
possible exchange with SCP-179. The -2 
probe is used as a radio relay from this point 
onward; SCP-179 is able to receive, 
understand and transmit radio 
communications. SCP-179's transmissions 


read as a monotone, featureless human voice 
that speaks in French. The subsequent 
exchange occurs with a 16 minutes and 39.6 
seconds delay between each message, 
corresponding to the distance between 
SCP-179 and Earth and return, that will be 
omitted in the rest of this document.) 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: Who are you? 


SCP-179: My name is Sauelsuesor. | am the 
lookout. | behold. | often see. | often warn. 
Almost always, when | have to. That way, 
there is further life. 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: What do you 
mean, the "lookout"? 


SCP-179: It's me. (smiles) 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: We have 
noticed the significance of your movements. 
Who do you report to? 


SCP-179: To those who know where to look. 
To you. To those who want to look. Not just 
you. But you, too. 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: When you say 
brother, are you referring to the Sun? 


SCP-179: He is my brother, Sauel. He warms 
me up. He is caring fire and loving light. He 
caresses me with his arcs and his voice and 
renews me. He is the source of all true light. 
He is your source. 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: Where do you 
come from? 


SCP-179: | was born a child. (the entity nods 
towards Earth.) 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: For how long 
have you been in your current location? 


SCP-179: | do not want to tell you. (smiles) 
(SCP-179 adopts a fetal position, remains 
looking towards the Earth and pointing at 
[REDACTED]. Face of the entity remains 
visible from the -2 probe) 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: How did you 
reach your current position? How did you 
acquire the properties you currently possess? 


SCP-179: | was grown into a woman. This is 
how | live now. 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: Could you give 
us further details, please? 


SCP-179: No. 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: We would like 
to Know more about you. Why not tell us? 


SCP-179: | am sorry. | won't be yours. | can't 
belong to any one person. 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: The 
Foundation's work protects all of humanity, all 
life on Earth. Don't you find this work of the 
greatest importance? 


SCP-179: Yes. | am doing it. Look upon me 
and know. 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: If we have 
understood your capacities correctly, we 
believe you could do far more than that. 
Sharing all the information you have, not just 
about the dangerous threats against 
humankind and Earth, could be of great benefit 
to all parts involved. 


SCP-179: | am too big, and you are too small. 
There is a sea of nothing and islands of light. | 
am their shore. To you come the monsters. 
The pounding fists of void. The longing gods 
beyond our knowledge. | am the lookout. | see 
the ripples in their wake. You want me to 
pledge my sight-know to you, only to you, so 
you, only you, can be greater. Even if you find, 
restrain, defend. You want me to be yours. 
That is not why | am here. There are others. 
Others | assist. Others | warn. Others beyond 
your thin walls of grey, dry paste-rock. Others 
beyond the reach of your weary satellites. 
Others beyond the home, our home. Others | 
know. Others | love. Others you won't care for. 
Others that came before. And, over all, others 
beyond the little walls of rules and bone and 
laws and flesh and memories and oaths you 
build around yourselves until you don't even 
remember them. Others | love. Dearly. And 
yet, only my brother is an equal to me. 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: Excuse me, | 
don't understand what do you mean by 
"others". Could you, please, explain yourself 
with other words? 


SCP-179: (smiles) But | have no words left. 


Closing: Despite several communication attempts, 
SCP-179 did not perform any other movements nor 
transmit other messages. Up to this date, SCP-179 has 
not responded to any message coming from any 
Foundation contact team or any other efforts from known 
Groups of Interest.

SCP-180: Identity Thieving Hat 


Item #: SCP-180 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All head wear (including hair 
clips and bows) is restricted in Reliquary Research and Containment 
Site-76 for all outside security. Anyone violating this rule is subject to 
complete physical search, auditing of travel within Site-76, and DNA 
identity testing. 


SCP-180 is not to leave its research laboratory. The current 
appearance of SCP-180 is to be reported to Security daily. Security 
is to be notified immediately should personnel encounter someone 
they don't recognize in their department, performing or dressed as if 
they belonged there (as their identity might have been stolen). 


Description: SCP-180 appears as a hat or other form of head wear 
or hair accessory. Any individual who places SCP-180 on their head 
will have their identity 'stolen' by the hat. This effect causes the 
original host to be completely unrecognizable, even to people 
strongly familiar with the subject. Individuals observing a subject 
who has had their identity stolen will only be able to vaguely 
describe features of the individual such as hair and eye color, skin 
tone, and clothing, but will not be able to recognize the identity of the 
subject. Host subjects are unable to convince others of their identity. 
This effect lasts until SCP-180 has selected a new host. 


Once SCP-180 has stolen the identity of a host subject, when 
SCP-180 is placed upon any other subject's head, the identity of the 
first subject (host) is imprinted on the second subject. This is 
possible not only for people, but for animals and inanimate objects. 
For example, subjects have mistaken dogs, statues, and coffee 
tables for the host of SCP-180 when the hat is placed on these 
objects. 


SCP-180's appearance changes upon changing host. However, the 
effect is only visual. The object has appeared as a top hat, a skull 
cap, a baseball cap, a bandanna, a hair clip, a hijab, anda 
motorcycle helmet, amongst other objects. Imaging using MRI and 
3D ultrasound has shown that SCP-180 is in reality nothing more 
than a worn length of linen or cloth resembling a veil or shroud. 
Placing SCP-180 on the head properly actually covers the face. 
Research has been unable to explain how and why radiation (visual 
and infrared) is manipulated by SCP-180 to produce false images.

SCP-181: "Lucky" 


Item #: SCP-181 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-181 lives in the class D 
personnel dormitories on Bio-Research Area-12. SCP-181 is, for all 
intents and purposes, a Level 0 clearance personnel, knowing 
vaguely the nature of the SCP without any sensitive information 
having been revealed. Researchers and surveillance staff are 
reminded to not single SCP-181 out of his class D group. SCP-181 
is to be rotated to a new dorm once a month instead of regulation 
class D termination. SCP-181 is not to be submitted to any new or 
Keter classified SCP testing sessions. 


Memo to all staff: 

In light of recent discoveries re SCP-181's anomalous 
properties, 181 has been transferred to Site 27- and 
placed in solitary confinement. All staff are ordered to 
take the fullest possible precautions when operating 
within the site. 181 is not to be allowed interaction with 
site personnel beyond the bare minimum to ensure 
survival and security. -Dr Knucklebone 


Description:G O , formerly LvD-87465, had been 
incarcerated for repeated offenses of defrauding the Nevada 
Gaming Commission. Following the 18th month of his life sentence, 
he was quietly moved to Armed Reliquary Containment Area-02, 
where he was initiated and assigned a Level D clearance. His first 
exposure experiment was with SCP-_, and the results were bloody 
but expected. When LvD-65468 was exposed to SCP- _, he 
rampaged and killed those in the room, but SCP-181 was spared 
when an armed response team put down LvD-65468. 


SCP-181 was included into an experiment with SCP-075 the week 
following the incident with SCP-_ . It was during this test that 


SCP-181's unnatural effect on probability was discovered. When 
placed in the containment chamber with an activated SCP-075 to 
measure its speed and reflex time, SCP-181 managed to avoid 
SCP-075 a total of 3 times before suppression teams refroze 
SCP-075. 


Having survived not one but two Keter class exposure experiments, 
SCP-181 was a statistical anomaly. It would be his third week and 
full seven days of survival with SCP-082 that prompted Dr.G D 
to investigate. 


ltwas Dr.G_ D 's hypothesis that SCP-181 was generating these 
statistical anomalies without his knowledge. After nearly flipping 50 
heads on a coin, rolling 25 7s on a pair of dice, and pulling all 13 
hearts out of a standard deck of playing cards, Dr.G D_ got 
executive permission to experiment with SCP-_ . After rolling 19 
green circles and succeeding in recreating 4 classical masterpieces 
of varying art forms, SCP-181 rolled SCP- again. As the object 
came to rest on the red triangle, the facility experienced a tremor 
caused by an incident with SCP-216, and SCP- _ fell on a green 
circle. Dr.G D_ then reclassified LVD-87465 as SCP-181, sparing 
him from the routine monthly termination of class D personnel. 


SCP-181 shows signs of affecting the causal probability around him 
by no will of his own. However, tests show that efforts to remove as 
much chance from an event as possible reduce SCP-181's effect on 
the event. 


Addendum 1-A-07X : As of //20 , SCP-181 has been transferred 
and security protocols tightened. It was discovered by Dr. ina 
recent audit that overall death and injury rates for Bio-Research 
Area-12 had increased in the time of SCP-181's confinement by 
nearly percent ( %). Itis theorised that SCP-181's 
anomalous properties affect probability by [DATA EXPUNGED] 
chaos theory states that the potential effects of such interference 
could lead [DATA EXPUNGED]worldwide scale. Further information 
is available only to personnel with clearance levels of 4 and above, 
due to the possibility of further [REDACTED]

SCP-182: "Rider" 


Item #: SCP-182 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-182 is to be kept ina 
small environmentally-sealed structure on an otherwise-uninhabited 
island situated 10km off the coast of Greenland. A team of five (5) 
guards are to be assigned to guard the subject at all times. Guards 
are to be examined for psychological damage once per month; 
guards who show any signs of damage are to be recalled from their 
post and are required to undertake a full course of psychiatric 
therapy prior to returning to duty. No single individual is to spend 
more than six (6) months at a stretch on 182 guard duty, and are 
required to spend a minimum of three (3) months on a different 
assignment before returning. Personnel are entitled to refuse this 
assignment if they have already spent a total of eight (8) months or 
more on the island. SCP-182 has requested to be kept under heavy 
sedation for 20 hours per day. Following Incident 182-7, this 
privilege has been revoked. 


Description: SCP-182 is a Caucasian male, of average build, 
roughly 45 years of age, and has suffered heavy abdominal and 
cranial scarring at an unspecified point in the past (by subject's own 
admission, shortly before he was admitted into the care of the 
Foundation in 19 ). SCP-182 is both deaf and mute, compensating 
for these disabilities with natural abilities. 


SCP-182 has displayed the ability to passively enter the minds of 
other animals, including humans, and to perceive sight and sound 
through their senses, in effect 'riding' as a passenger in their minds. 
This has no consistent effect on personnel, and some guards have 
rotated on and off on a regular basis for the past years without 
detrimental effects. However, prolonged exposure to SCP-182's 
passive 'sensory borrowing’ results in vivid visual and auditory 
hallucinations in 97% of humans and 100% of nonhuman test 


subjects. 


The effects in question vary widely in severity, but continued 
exposure after the onset will inevitably result in mental collapse, with 
said mental breakdown being hastened by proximity to SCP-182. 
SCP-182 has displayed the ability to consciously force hallucinations 
upon his guards when under duress, and as such it is advisable that 
subjects known to agitate SCP-182 be avoided (including mention of 
SCP-076-2, SCP-682, and SCP-182's own past prior to acquisition 
by the Foundation). Termination of affected personnel is 
recommended if they cannot distinguish between the hallucinations 
and reality, as all subjects allowed to reach such a point have 
invariably broken down, with brain death or permanent catatonia 
being the only possible outcomes. SCP-182 cannot control this 
ability with any appreciable degree of skill, and automatically sees 
and hears the perceptions of any living animals within ten (10) 
meters. Subject can ‘focus’ on specific directions outside of that 
range, but cannot 'ride' the senses of beings further away from it 
than thirty (30) meters. 


SCP-182 additionally manifests the ability to project its thoughts into 
the mind of any individual whose senses it 'rides.' This mental 
‘speech’ is the only known source of information about the subject, 
and has been described by guards as akin to being spoken to by a 
small human between their ears. SCP-182 exhibits no memetic or 
telepathic hazard stemming from this 'speech,' though subjects 
report that his 'voice’ is always a component in their hallucinations. 


Addendum 182-1: SCP-182 claims that the incident that resulted in 
the loss of its speech and hearing also manifested its telepathic 
talents. It is not presently clear whether this was a deliberate goal of 
the 'torture' subject was subjected to or whether the apparently life- 
or-death situation caused previously suppressed powers to 
manifest. Questioning in this vein is to be discouraged, as SCP-182 
has become agitated in the past and has successfully attempted to 
accelerate the rate of mental breakdown in his handlers, resulting in 
casualties during the first questioning. 


Addendum 182-2: It has been suggested that SCP-182 be used as 
a “translator” with other SCPs who appear capable of thought, but 
not of communication. Given the side-effects of proximity to 


SCP-182, this request has been denied. 
Incident Report 182-7 


Audio report recovered from guard house, voice 
identified as Agent ,recorded //19 


"Yeah... So, we got the letter this morning from O5 
saying the sedation was approved. Dr. went out to 
tell one-eighty-two, guy seemed pretty happy, clappin' 
his hands and everything. Like a little kid. Shot him up, 
he was out like a light. Slept a few hours, then Dr. 

went in to check on him, make sure he was still 
breathing. Don't want a casualty, yeah? Anyway, I'm in 
the other house, we'd got up a good game of twenty-one, 
when | hear Doc screamin’ his lungs out. Something 
about spiders, or...wha?" 


(Following this the tape records seven gunshots; audio 
analysis indicates they were fired at a point above and to 
the left of the microphone.) 


"God damn it... We thought Doc had finally cracked, he'd 
been seeing little things out of the corner of his eye for a 
few days, we figured one-eighty-two had got to him. We 
drew straws to see who'd have to go get his body, [Agent 
J ] drew the short straw. Guy was fresh out 
here, just been assigned last week. Dammit, | should 
have gone instead. J's screams started a few minutes 
later. Everyone got up at this point, we started walkin’ out 
there, snow everywhere, should've transferred out of 
here befo- agh!" 


(Another eight gunshots are heard, followed by repeated 
clicking. Subsequent sounds determined to be the 
replacement of an empty magazine.) 


"Ugh... These things... We got to the house where one- 
eighty-two was, he was lying on the bed, looked dead to 
the world. Thirty, maybe thirty-five feet away J and Doc 
were sitting on the floor, drooling. Well, Doc was. J was 


dead. Blood oozing out of his mouth, looked like he bit 
his own tongue off. All three of us knew what'd 
happened. | started to see... things. | ran, | don't know 
about the other guys. I'm holed up in the building, gonna 
wait for the boat to arrive. Hope | can hold off long 
enough..." 


(Audio recording continued for seventeen minutes, 
intermittent screams and gunshots can be heard, as well 
as a door opening twice.) 


"I've seen what happens to those guys that go too far. 
I'm not ending up like that. I'm not going to see those 
things. Bye." 


(A gunshot is heard, tape records two hours of silence. 
The bodies of Agents and __ were found inside the 
door, shot by Agent __. Agent was found next to the 
recorder, a bullet lodged in his skull.) 


Final Incident Report: Subsequent questioning of 
SCP-182 by replacement personnel revealed that 
subject 'suffered from horrible, unworldly nightmares’ 
while sedated. Subject displayed elevated levels of 
stress during interview, and it is theorized that the 
nightmares experienced by SCP-182 caused enough 
emotional distress that subject unconsciously created a 
radius of heightened hallucinatory territory. Subject is 
henceforth to be denied all sleeping aids.

SCP-183: "Weaver" 


Item #: SCP-183 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-183's container must be 
soundproofed and lined with heavy steel plate. Size of the container 
is unimportant, as SCP-183 has no apparent preference and will use 
as much space as it is given. Personnel are strongly advised to 
avoid entering the container; this is pointless and exceedingly 
dangerous, and any desire to do so may be indicative of hitherto 
unobserved psychological capabilities of SCP-183's song (see 
below). Openings in the container are to be small and brief, 
preferably exclusive to feeding purposes. 


The organism has shown no real desire to escape, but should this 
occur, it could quickly render the entire research environment 
impassable, and potentially quite dangerous. SCP-183's song has 
been described as pleasant, and as long as no subliminal effects are 
observed, researchers are permitted to keep the chamber's 
embedded microphones active if they wish. 


Description: SCP-183 is an unknown biological entity that is, for all 
intents and purposes, invisible. Evidence of its existence comes 
mainly in the form of monofilament wires which the organism 
apparently synthesizes. These fibers are extremely thin and durable; 
they are capable of slicing through soft tissue, bone, and even body 
armor with very little force. Coupled with the difficulty of seeing 
them, this constitutes a serious hazard to all personnel within the 
container. Organic material left within the container disappears at a 
rate of approximately 4 kg per day, an indication that the organism is 
omnivorous. 


The wires synthesized by SCP-183 are unique in human 
experience. Tests indicate that they may be a form of carbon 
nanotube. They appear frequently and almost instantly, strung taut 


between walls, ceiling and floor in no apparent pattern, forming a 
convoluted, razor-sharp tangle. This may be analogous to a spider's 
web, a trap to capture food. Small animals in the chamber are left 
alone until killed by their own movement. If they are non-fatally 
injured by the wires, SCP-183 will consume any severed body parts 
but will not attack the animal itself until it is dead. Individual fibers 
vanish after several hours; our working theory is that they eventually 
lose their adhesive properties and fall to the floor to be consumed 
and recycled by SCP-183. 


Interestingly, SCP-183 plucks its wires in a distinctly musical pattern, 
producing a surprisingly complex and euphonic melody which is 
reproducible on the common pentatonic scale. The limited number 
of notes suggests that the wires are produced at discrete lengths 
and tensions, possibly indicative of high intelligence. This may be 
designed to lure in prey; attempts at playing back the tune or others 
in the same key have produced no observable changes in activity, 
suggesting that it is not intended for communication. 


Current research on SCP-183 aims to reverse-engineer the 
organism's monofilament wires and to ascertain the mechanism of 
its invisibility.

SCP-184: The Architect 


Item #: SCP-184 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP- 184 is not to be contained 
in any structure. SCP-184 is to be attached to a high-power 
electromagnet at all times. Should the electromagnet fail, agents are 
to report to SCP-184's containment area and prevent access to all 
unauthorized personnel until the electromagnet is restored to power. 
The containment area for SCP-184 is currently configured to 
resemble a park with SCP-184 and its containment magnet 
disguised as statuary. Any and all visitors are to be monitored. 


Any structures affected by SCP-184 are to be demolished after 
review by [DATA EXPUNGED]. Final demolition approval or 
inclusion into SCP will also be determined by this body. No 
investigation is to be done into affected structures without approval 
and a rescue team on standby. 


Description: SCP-184 is a small, smooth metallic object, 10 cm (4 
in) tall and 10 cm (4 in) wide, in the shape of a dodecahedron. Each 
face of the figure has a circular hole in the center, and a small 
sphere is attached to each vertex. SCP-184 is made of an unknown, 
but highly magnetic, alloy about as hard as brass. 


When inside an enclosed structure, SCP-184 expands the 
structure's inner dimensions without altering its outer dimensions. 
SCP-184 will increase the inner dimensions of any enclosed 
structure by several hundred meters each day, beginning one hour 
after entry into the structure. Initially, SCP-184 only extends the 
walls out, causing rooms to become much larger without adjusting 
the height of the room. This expansion continues until the original 
dimensions of the room have been tripled. 


At this point, SCP-184 starts creating wholly new rooms. SCP-184 is 


apparently able to copy items from inside the structure, creating 
furnished rooms consistent with the rest of the structure. After a 
period of time, however, the expansion process appears to break 
down. For example, items will be made from inappropriate materials 
(glass books, a wooden microwave), rooms will be oddly-shaped, 
doors will open into blank walls, and hallways will be tiny or twist 
back around in long mazes. The new inside structures continue to 
be more and more odd, while the outside remains unchanged. 


This behavior is most dramatically illustrated in homes; however, it 
has been observed in other instances, including a cardboard box. 
The changes do not go away with the removal of SCP-184, but no 
additional structures are created. 


Addendum 184 - 1: Notes from Dr. 


| don’t think | need to stress the fact that this thing can NEVER be 
allowed into Site 19. We may need to look into different containment 
at some point, but for the time being, we will keep it in the open, 
immovable, and hidden. 


Addendum 184 - 2 Locations of Interest 


It is currently hypothesized that SCP-184 or an anomaly with a 
similar effect may be responsible for the creation of Locations of 
Interest such as Backdoor SoHo, and Chugoku Cellar. Investigation 
into SCP-184 as a potential origin for these spaces is ongoing. 


Addendum 184 — 38RB: Notes on recovery 


SCP-184 was recovered in the Kowloon Walled City in June of 
Reports of the city's bizarre and explosive growth attracted 
Operatives, who soon learned of SCP-184, held in the possession of 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. After several police crackdowns, Mobile Task 
Force Zeta-9 was dispatched and recovered SCP-184 with minimal 
losses. The final effect of exposure to SCP-184 on both the City and 
inhabitants may never fully be understood due to the reckless 
actions of local law enforcement, which destroyed several affected 
sections of the city before Operatives could take action to prevent it. 


Interviews with residents yielded minimal information, with a 
communal “wall of silence” being the major response. A few 
documents indicated that SCP-184 could be brought into a home 
and allowed to affect the dwelling for 50 pounds sterling per half 
hour. These documents were unconfirmed by residents.

Date: June 3rd, 


Dispatched to the “Kowloon Walled City” to recover an object and 
document anything affected by it. | have never seen such a horrible 
place. The filth is everywhere, whole walls and even structures 
made of garbage. If you crack your suit for even a second, you get 
flooded by the smell of smoke, cooking, sweat, machine oil and 
excrement. Henry fell into a pit used as a sewer on the ground level 
after breaking through a trash walkway. He was fine, the suit was 
just filthy, but he threw up and had to be removed. I’m not sure if 
he’s going to work out. 


Everyone here avoids us like the plague, or darts out to throw trash 
or insults. They are a tribe, and a territorial one at that. The sheer 
crush of humanity is intimidating, and I’m glad | have the suit 
between me and them. The object is supposed to be somewhere in 
the core of this mass, but getting there is going to be tricky. 


Date: June 4th, 


Local law enforcement led by Agents did a bunch of raids last 
night. Cleared people out of some of the areas we need to go in, 
but there are so many people here it’s hard to notice any 
difference. Yesterday's recon helped uncover a couple “homes” 
affected by this thing. They don’t look like much, the same squalid 
homes as everyone else, but they are too big inside. It’s an odd 
feeling, standing with your hand on the wall, and knowing that by all 
rights you should be six feet outside the structure, in mid-air. Henry 
is better today, but seems really jumpy. Lev took him aside and 
talked to him last night, and | hope it’s helped. I’m getting worried 
about him. Caught him muttering to himself over the radio 


today. Told him to knock it off, but didn’t report it, maybe | should 
have. | think I’m going to ask for him to be put on a different unit 
after this. 


Deep recon this evening, we’re splitting up to try and hunt down 
where they are storing this thing. Lev and | pulled the short stick 
and have to hike it around the sewer system. Honestly, it can’t be 
any worse than topside; at least | won’t have to keep seeing the 
blank, empty faces of these people. 


Date: June 6th, 


Henry is dead. We didn’t get back until early this morning; we’d 
been off the radio for several hours because of all the 

interference. It seems areas affected by this thing screw with radio 
waves pretty bad. The sewer was a nightmare, but no sign of 
alteration by the item. When we came back up, Paul gave me the 
news. Henry and Paul were exploring near the center of the city 
when they got attacked. A mob of people swarmed them and 
dragged Henry off. Paul was hurt and his suit was badly damaged, 
and he had to leave for medical attention. Henry was screaming 
over the radio for a while, and then it cut off. Paul and a couple 
other Mole Rats charged in with some agents to recover Henry, but 
after a few minutes, Henry came back on the radio. 


His receiver was broken, but he could still broadcast. One of the 
Agents was recording, and he played it back to Lev and |, to see if 
any of it made sense to us. It didn’t. He was rambling and sounded 
like he was hurt. Kept talking about the endless heart of the city, the 
hell of glass, just crazy stuff. Paul and the rescue team kept trying 
to find him, but suddenly his radio cut out again. 


Henry came tearing down one of those tiny halls, helmet off and 
screaming like amad man. He ran right by Paul and smashed an 
Agent into a wall on his way by. He slammed into a dead end and 
just exploded through it, right out of the building. He fell six stories 
onto some metal junk. It took an hour to get his body 

untangled. We're done screwing around here. Agent Parks, Lev 
and me are rounding up what amounts to the city elders, and we’re 
getting to the damn bottom of this. 


Date: June 7th, 


Interrogation went well. Agent Parks asked the questions, we 
provided what he called “negative consequences for non- 
cooperation”. The first guy, some Triad punk, didn’t want to 

talk. Two broken legs later, and he was a lot more open. Said the 
thing was called “The Builder”, and nobody knew when it first came 
to the city. He never had anything to do with it, just helped stand 
guard outside rooms where it was working. He said that was all he 
knew, and that we had to talk to one of the elders, Long-Wen, if we 
wanted it. He apologized for Henry’s death, said it was just the way 
of things. | broke his jaw in three places. 


Long-Wen may be the oldest-looking man I’ve ever seen, and with a 
will like iron. He just took everything we dished out, and didn’t say a 
word. Parks said that the next stop was his wife and grandkids, and 
that got him talking. Told us it was kept in one of the oldest parts of 
the city, some old temple. It had grown, and made wonderful things, 
but only the worthy could look upon it and not be overwhelmed by 

it. He said Henry was shown the wonders, in the hopes that he 
would be able to convince us to not take The Builder, but that he 
was not worthy, and was broken. 


We made him show us where they keep it. Long-Wen said it 
wouldn’t do any good, that it was buried too deep. They moved it 
deep inside when they first caught wind of the Agents; he said we’d 
never get it back. We’re doing Deep Work tomorrow, and we’re not 
coming out without it. 


Date: June 10th, 


Been out for a while. This place is amazing. At first, it was just a 
temple that was too big inside, neat but nothing new. Then we went 
in deeper. Whole rooms, altars, everything re-created and 
rearranged by this thing. It’s like someone built twelve whole 
temples inside this one tiny structure. Agent Parks set up a recall 
point in the main hall with some other Agents to make sure nobody 
sneaks up on us. We suited up and went to work. It started getting 
odd after hour six. Lots of hallways, not as many rooms. Then, 


eighty-three rooms all connected by those sliding doors, each with a 
tiny Buddha in the center of the floor, and nothing else. Lev grabbed 
a few for samples. We knew things were getting odd when we came 
to a perfect reproduction of the first altar room, but appearing to be 
made of one solid mass of wood. 


Thing was beautiful and totally seamless, and not a single tool mark 
on anything. Paul found some documents, and we scanned them 
back to Parks. He said they were about the object; apparently 
they’re calling it SCP-184 now. Parks said it talks about how they 
moved 184 deeper each time it made a new area. They thought it 
was some gift from God or something. Used it to expand rooms, if 
people would donate to the temple, or at least to the gangs that 
controlled it at the time. 


I've never been in a place like this. It’s getting harder to 

maneuver. The halls are starting to get strange, they go up at funny 
angles, and the last few rooms have been tiny. By Lev’s count, we 
should be twenty feet above the roof of this whole city by now. 


Date: June 12th(?), 


I’m getting sick of this place. Came to a branch yesterday, had to 
split the team. | drew the “up” hallway, and set out. Not sure how 
long I’ve been climbing. The halls aren’t regular anymore; they 
wave in and out, like a frozen earthquake. Everything seems to be 
made of stone here. Managed to squeeze into a side room to catch 
my breath, once | looked around, | saw everything was made of 
jade. It was all colored right, and had the right texture, but it was 
jade. Bed, chairs, table, books, everything. | sat on the bed for two 
hours and didn’t think. | got up and smashed the jade lamp that was 
probably worth more than my life, and left. 


I’m not feeling well. | feel really disconnected here, like an astronaut 
or something. It’s not like other areas I’ve been in. Never felt so 
alone. I’m fine, | Know that. It's Henry dying, the whole rotten city 
outside, and me being alone and able to think too much. Rats are 
tested for mental stability, and | passed with flying colors. It’s just 
my nerves. I’m sitting on a chair made of thousands of tiny dragon 
statues, writing on a table made of super-dense paper, and | am 


fine. 


Date: June (7) 


I’ve been out too long. Food low. Water low. Not out yet, but 
getting there. Hearing things. Keep thinking | hear voices. Been 
climbing for days. Saw light today. At the end of a side-hall, bright 
yellow light. | climbed into the hall and ran. Smashed through the 
door, and it was aroom. Millions of candles, all lit, but just another 
room. Pulled off my helmet, smashed the candles with it. Broke my 
lenses, neck seal, radio. Didn’t care. Sat and cried for 

hours. Dropped a pick down the shaft today, never heard it hit 
bottom. Almost jumped to go get it, but stopped. Got to find this 
thing. Going to smash it to bits. Stomp it. Crush it. 


Date: June (7) 


Food out. Suit can’t make any more water. Saw a hall with ten 
thousand doors. Ran down it, smashed a bunch, then kept 
climbing. Lost my boots. Floor looked like carpet. Made of super- 
sharp stone. Cut suit to ribbons. Feet too. Blood all over the 
shaft. Hope it appreciates it. Going to crush this thing. Feel it 
shatter in my hand. Hate this place. Keep hearing Henry. Keep 
telling him he’s dead. Won't listen. 


Date: (?) 

Top of shaft. Hall to forever. Lights everywhere. Going to kill the 
heart.

SCP-185: The Radio 


Item #: SCP-185 


Object Class: Safe (Euclid class considered after incident 185-1. 
See document 185-1 for details.) 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-185 is to be kept ina 
soundproof room with noise-filtering microphones for monitoring 
purposes. Standard guard procedures are to be used for this object. 
Ear protection must be worn by all occupants in the chamber, 
excluding test subjects. 


Description: SCP-185 appears to be a Russian R-105M radio used 
during the Cold War, except that it has a crudely-added keypad and 
LCD screen. The object can receive most radio transmissions, 
including encrypted signals. Attempts to determine how it can break 
even the strongest of encryptions have so far been fruitless. 
SCP-185 has a very long range, surpassing even modern radio 
equipment. It functions as a normal radio until input is added via the 
keypad. It seems that if a year is entered into the keypad, the radio 
will receive transmissions from the specified era (depending on if 
messages were being broadcast on the set frequency). This function 
was discovered when, upon entering the random number of 1939, 
Neville Chamberlain was heard declaring war on Germany. The 
possibility of experimenting with dates and times has been noted 
and is being researched. The possibility of entering future dates is 
being discussed; it has yet to be decided whether the benefits 
outweigh the risk of causing a time paradox. On the inside, the radio 
appears to be unaltered, and the keypad is contained in a box 
affixed to the side of the radio. Researchers cannot access the 
keypad due to the box being made from a metal that is yet to be 
identified. It cannot be cut and there are no determinable ways to 
disassemble it. 


Addendum: 


Document #185-1: Incident 1 


During a test, the year was set to -13.73 billion, during the time the 
universe was suspected to have been created. Sound volumes 
emitted by the object could not be measured with standard 
equipment. Survivors further from the incident reported rumbling 
sounds similar to recorded radio emissions from the sun. All those 
within 200 meters of the epicenter died of asphyxiation. Sound 
waves had ruptured capillaries in the lungs; autopsy reports indicate 
that the victims essentially drowned in their own blood. The device 
failed to operate for some time after that incident, and it was found 
that the device's internal battery pack had failed. Replacing it 
restored functionality. It was noted that the LCD screen was sill lit, 
suggesting that the device has no special power aside from the 
anomalous box. The sound waves have also rendered SCP- 
inoperable, leading to the reclassification of said SCP as 
neutralized. The radio seems to have received no damage. 
Structural damages have been reported on-site and a section had to 
be shut down for repairs. Testing has been postponed until further 
notice.

Any personnel caught using the object to listen to music on duty will 
be disciplined. 


Object Request: 


Mobile Task Force Delta-5 is requesting to use SCP-185 to aid their 
mission of tracking down objects before our rivals. Task Force 
believes Iranians have important information and wish to intercept 
their transmissions. Request accepted.

SCP-186: To End All Wars 


Item #: SCP-186 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The site of SCP-186, 
comprising an approximately 300 km? area, is to be closed to the 
public under the auspices of a habitat restoration initiative for the 
European bison. An automated security perimeter is to be 
established, monitored by staff at Remote Site-355. Security 
personnel must patrol SCP-186 every two weeks; any anomalous 
phenomena observed within the security perimeter must be 
documented and reported to the Research Director. 


All known primary sources documenting the events of SCP-186 
have been secured by the Foundation. These materials are to be 
stored in the Site-23 Archives. Due to the age of the materials and 
the potential for deterioration, all access to these documents must 
be approved by the Site-23 Archivist and handled per their 
instructions. 


All instances of SCP-186-1 are to be secured in the munitions wing 
of Site-23. 


Description: SCP-186 is the site of an unrecorded military 
engagement occurring from 7/24/1917 to 8/13/1917 between 
elements of the Imperial German Army and forces of the Russian 
provisional government as part of the larger conflict of World War I, 
and the continuing effects resulting from its aftermath. This conflict 
came to be known to its participants as the Battle of Husiatyn 
Woods in surviving accounts. 


In July of 1917, an armed engagement between a detachment of 
approximately 500 German soldiers and the remnants of a Russian 
division scattered during the German counterattack to the Kerensky 
Offensive took place at the location of SCP-186. The forces met in 


heavily forested terrain outside the town of Husiatyn in what is 
currently Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine. On both sides of the conflict, 
combatants deployed anomalous weaponry utilizing technology that 
has yet to be duplicated or understood at present. This battle 
eventually resulted in the deaths or permanent incapacitation of all 
forces involved, and approximately 300 civilians in its general 
vicinity. 


SCP-186-1 consists of recovered weaponry dating from the initial 
containment of SCP-186 in 1917, and includes the following: 


¢ A highly modified weapon resembling the Skoda M1909 

machine gun, capable of causing extremely rapid tumor-like 

growths to appear within the body of any organism larger than 

a common lab rat 

Mortar shells specially designed to be fired from a Mortier de 

58mm type 2, containing a gas that causes animal cells to 

become unable to cease life function 

Concertina wire coated with an unknown hallucinogenic 

compound that permanently affects human test subjects upon 

entering the bloodstream 

¢« Remnants of an unknown incendiary device believed to have 

been detonated at the close of the conflict, accounting for 

what is estimated to be 34% of total casualties 

British Empire-issue No. 27 type grenades, containing a gas 

capable of passing through all tested gas-mask filtration 

systems, and causing humans to constantly experience the 

sensation of being on fire 

¢ 8x50mmR French rifle cartridges containing powdered human 
bone instead of gunpowder; purpose unknown 


Historical records indicate that the German detachment involved in 
the Battle of Husiatyn Woods, at the behest of a Hungarian military 
advisor named Matyas Nemes, specifically pursued the group of 
Russian forces in retreat, which at the time included French scientist 
Dr. Jean Durand. Based on documents of the era since suppressed 
by the Foundation, it is believed that these two individuals are 
responsible for the development and limited manufacture of 
SCP-186-1, and had attached themselves to opposing sides of the 
Eastern Front for the express purpose of deployment of these 


weapons in a combat setting.

Research Log 186-7: Notable Anomalies Documented 
at SCP-186 


04/11/1923: A 3 km2 area in the southwestern portion of 
SCP-186 experiences a spontaneous die-off of trees. 
Decomposition occurs on an extremely accelerated time 
scale, and area is completely cleared of trees and other 
plant life within two weeks. 


01/13/1927: Despite temperatures consistently at -15°C, 
no snow is visible throughout central portion of site. 
Temperatures measured at site are consistent with 
surroundings. 


09/02/1932: The sounds of sporadic gunfire are recorded 
throughout the site, despite lack of observed presence of 
any civilians. Sounds persist for three days. 


05/30/1936: Agents Chekhov and fail to return 
from routine patrol of SCP-186. No subsequent traces of 
either person are ever recovered. 


05/15/1941: Acting in accordance with intelligence 
sources embedded in the Third Reich, Foundation 
personnel evacuate SCP-186 in advance of Operation 
Barbarossa. Subsequent to decommissioning 
observation posts, faint glow visible from 150 m 
documented by staff to move through site. Definitive 
visual contact unestablished prior to evacuation. 


10/29/1945: Containment of SCP-186 reestablished after 
discussions with Soviet Union officials. Upon initial patrol 
after reestablishment of containment, thirteen corpses 
dressed in uniforms and insignia of the German 4th 
Panzer Army and twenty-seven corpses in Soviet 22nd 
Army uniforms are discovered in advanced state of 
decay. No identifications of personnel are successful, as 


all identifying documents and insignia had been removed 
prior to Foundation containment. 


02/19/1959: Following the formation of a large sinkhole 
in the northeastern portion of SCP-186, four men are 
observed wandering the immediate area in a state of 
extreme disorientation, dressed in what are later 
identified to be severely decomposed and degraded 
World War I-era military uniforms of both German Empire 
and Russian issue. Subjects detained and routed to 
Site-23 for subsequent research. 


04/02/1959: After an extensive excavation of the site of 
the northeastern sinkhole, 23 persons are discovered 
buried at a depth of 15 m in a mass grave, alive despite 
decades of interment and various wounds and injuries. 
As with subjects discovered earlier, most are dressed in 
remnants of military uniforms of the World War | era and 
are presumed to be participants in the original SCP-186 
event. Extensive research at Site-23 yields little 
information, as subjects are unable to provide any 
meaningful information or communication to Foundation 
staff due to extensive psychological trauma and profound 
mental disorders. Foundation staff attempt to euthanize 
subjects after 3 weeks of research, but fail in all 
attempts. Subjects subsequently tranquilized, 
anesthetized and incinerated. 


07/29/1962: Prior to upgrades to containment facilities, 
security perimeter of SCP-186 found to be almost 85 m 
longer than originally documented. Inquiry later rules out 
clerical error as source of discrepancy. 


12/13/1975: Localized weather phenomena documented 
as occurring entirely and exclusively within SCP-186. 
These include sustained winds up to 120 kph, 20 cm of 
rainfall and temperatures temporarily reaching 48°C. 


08/12/1987: Packs of wolves, numbering an estimated 
200 total individuals, travel to SCP-186, mass at a point 
in the central region of the site, and immediately 


disperse. 


03/03/2009: A stand of three spruce trees is observed in 
the southwestern deforested area, the first documented 
plant life since 1923 event. Estimated age of trees is fifty 
years.

Document 186-11: Opinion piece published in the 
January 2, 1912 edition of the Hungarian newspaper 
Népszava, authored by Matyas Nemes 


To my fellow subjects of His Highness 
Emperor Franz Joseph, 


Truly, the greatest of human glories is the 
unification of a numerous and disparate people 
into a single, unstoppable purpose. That our 
marvelous Kingdom should embody this 
inescapable principle should go without saying 
from Vienna to Budapest. 


But there are those, both within our territories 
and elsewhere on the Continent, that would 
see us splintered into a thousand shards and 
stand in the way of our destiny. What is to be 
done with such agitators and malcontents? 
While traitors and radicals are hung properly in 
the manner of the dogs that they are, there is 
no execution sufficient to quell the embers of 
treachery that burn in the hearts of the 
Balkanites. How are we to demonstrate our 
unity of purpose, our power, our God-given 
place at the head of the European procession? 


By force of arms! The hangman can only strike 
fear into the heart of dozens. A proper army 
can strike it into the souls of millions. Perhaps 
we have the numbers, but in this we are not 
alone. The Russian and the Moslem can rally 
hordes to their banners, but for all of their 
masses are mere unruly nuisances. What sets 
man apart from the animals is not his 
numerical superiority, no, but his superiority of 
mind, demonstrated through quick wit and 
artifice! 


My fellow subjects, | have dedicated my life to 
the construction of such demonstrations of 
artifice that none may stand against my 
weapons save the Almighty! It is through the 
force of superior arms that we will achieve our 
grand design, both within our borders and 
without! Give me the factories, give me the 
manpower, give me the chance to serve our 
Empire through my industries, and | will deliver 
to the people the flaming sword that will light 
the way to a civilized Europe! It is through 
these means, and only these means, that we 
will solve the questions that plague us today!

unsubstantiated. 


Document 186-52: Letter from Pvt. Pyotr Avtukhov, 
participant in the Battle of Husiatyn Woods 


Dearest Nadya, 


| have heard rumors of the madness 
happening at home. Be comforted that it is 
nothing like the madness that is happening 
here. We thought that four years of war had 
taught us everything we had to know and then 
more. We learned nothing. 


The damnable Frenchman that the men 
elected to lead them spoke of peace. He 
spoke of weapons so terrible that we could 
make the enemy surrender on the spot. We 


were fools. We had run at trenches with dead 
men's rifles and sticks in our hands. We 
believed him the way we believed anyone that 
has supplies. 


We never thought where this man came from. 
We didn't wonder why he had the weapons he 
did. We didn't care. We wanted to live. 


We never considered that the enemy had the 
same things we did. | do not think the 
Frenchman did either. Or at least | hope he did 
not. | cannot imagine any man who would walk 
into this knowing what would happen. Maybe 
the Frenchman is not a man. Maybe he is 
something else. 


| am sitting now in a hole | have dug in a forest 
somewhere. | should have run the second | 
saw the German take aim at Gilyov. That was 
no bullet fired at him. | could not look anymore 
after his face came apart and he was still 
screaming. | thought | saw hands pulling his 
head apart. 


Somewhere in the distance Volikov is 
screaming that he can see devils roasting his 
children. He has been screaming about the 
same thing for five days. 


| should have run away so many times. The 
Frenchman gave us a new gas weapon. We 
refused at first, remembering what had 
happened in Romania. But he promised us 
that this was different, that this would put our 
enemies down without harming them. Who 
wants any more bloodshed, he asked us. We 
could not argue with that. We fired mortars at a 
position ahead of us. A strange blue gas 
seeped from behind the trees, but the 
Frenchman cautioned us against advancing. 


One more thing, he said. He took one of our 
rifles, and taking aim took a single shot. Before 
we could ask what a scientist could know of 
shooting, we heard a scream. He had hit one 
of the Germans. 


He handed me a pair of field glasses. Take a 
look, he said. | saw the German missing half of 
his head, still screaming. | have seen 
everything in this war, but | have never seen 
faces like those of that German's fellows as 
they watched their comrade. The Frenchman, 
in his terrible calm voice, explained that his 
shot had to have destroyed at least a quarter 
of the soldier's brain tissue. Enough to cause 
instant death, he said. But watch. 


| kept watching through the field glasses. The 
German didn't stop screaming. At least ten 
minutes | watched, unable to move away. The 
Frenchman smiled. He smiled at this scene. 
The gas, he said, ensured that death would 
not come, regardless of injury. The Germans 
were too horrifed by their comrade to notice 
that they were not behind cover, and the 
Frenchman lined up another shot. The rest of 
the soldier's head was now gone, and the 
screaming was replaced by some sort of low 
grunting, the likes of which | have never heard 
from men. 


No, the Frenchman said, no harm at all. | have 
bestowed the gift of life on your opponents. 
Who could possibly stand against that, he 
asked. 


| had to leave and vomit behind some bushes. 
| had not done that since the first trenches. 
Who indeed could keep fighting after such a 
thing? But fight they did. Once a group of us 
were ambushed and chased to a meadow. 


The first men through the trees were hit with 
something that took their skin. | cannot 
describe why seeing men blown apart is not as 
frightening as seeing a neatly flayed corpse on 
a battlefield, but our group scattered. 


We are no longer armies. Not any more. We 
are animals, trapped in a forest together, 
uncomprehending. Sometimes, when Volikov 
sleeps, | hear the Frenchman in the woods, 
yelling in Hungarian, yelling and laughing. | 
would almost rather listen to Volikov. 


| am going to die in this hole. | am too scared 
of what is outside of it to do otherwise. Minkin 
is going to try to brave the horrors in the 
woods to escape. | am sending this letter with 
him in the hopes that he does. As | gave it to 
him, he joked that he will get a civil service 
commission after the war for delivering a letter 
from Hell. | am not certain he is wrong.

SCP-187: Double Vision 


Item #: SCP-187 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedure: SCP-187 is to be attended full- 
time by medical personnel, who are to tranquilize or sedate her as 
needed. She is to be kept under a full set of medical restraints to 
prevent her from harming herself; specifically, she is to wear padded 
mittens at all times, in order to prevent her from attempting to 
damage her own eyes. 


If SCP-187 refuses to open her eyes during authorized testing, or 
during site inspections, the use of eyelid speculums is authorized. 
All statements made by SCP-187 during testing and site inspections 
are to be recorded and analyzed. 


SCP-187 is to be prevented from interacting with D-Class personnel 
who are nearing the end of their ‘cycle’. 


SCP-187 is to be spoon-fed; mild tranquilizers are to be added to all 
her meals. 


Description: SCP-187 is a Caucasian female, early to mid 20s, 
180 cm tall, weighing 40 kg (approx 88 Ib). She is suffering from 
severe malnutrition, and must be fed intravenously, as she refuses 
to eat any food given to her. She is recovering from the effects of 
severe malnutrition. 


SCP-187 exhibits a unique form of precognition whereby she sees 
everything in two states simultaneously: as they are, and as they will 
be. She does not see minor changes, only changes to what would 
be considered the 'norm'. For example, in testing, when presented 
with five D-class personnel and asked which of them would change 
their clothes, she couldn't answer, as such a change isn't drastic 
enough. However, when presented with five D-class personnel and 


asked which would be shot, she was able to 'predict' which one, 
every time, as she could see the injury inflicted just by looking at 
him. 


SCP-187 cannot foresee future events or changes to items at which 
she is not currently looking; rather, she can see the future state of 
whatever she is looking at. This has led to some unexpected 
consequences. For example: 


As part of the usual tests performed on new human/humanoid SCP 
acquisitions, SCP-187 was given a standardized IQ test. When the 
results were collated, she was revealed to have an IQ in excess of 
300 (the limits of the tests). This, of course, would have made her 
the most intelligent human being on the planet; however, her 
intellect did not seem that high based on her initial interviews. The 
test was repeated 4 times, and each time, she got the maximum 
possible score, answering every question correctly. When she was 
interviewed regarding this, she revealed that she did not actually 
know the answers to any of the questions; rather, she had seen the 
tests with the answers already filled in. When she was given a 
computerised IQ test, where her input didn't affect the future state of 
where she entered the answers (a keyboard, rather than a pen and 
paper), her l|Q was revealed to be 97, slightly below average. 


This happens with every written test presented to SCP-187 - she 
can see the answers in advance, based on what she herself is going 
to fill in, even if the tests are in a foreign language she does not 
understand. This presents a possible ontological paradox - an 
injection into the present of information from the future. Where this 
information, the correct answers, comes from is unknown, and 
possibly unknowable. 


SCP-187 is suffering from ongoing psychological damage as a result 
of her anomaly: when, for instance, she is in the company of people 
who are soon to die, she simultaneously sees both their living, 
healthy selves, and their dead, sometimes decomposing corpses, 
depending on how far into the future they will die. As a result, 
pharmacological assistance is required to keep her lucid. 


SCP-187 also refuses to eat, again due to her abilities. When 
presented with a plate of food, she will see it as either feces, or a 


semi-digested slop, while a glass of water will appear as a glass of 
urine. This is what is causing her severe malnutrition, and for this 
reason, she must be fed and hydrated intravenously. 


Due to the effect that prolonged malnutrition is having on SCP-187's 
health, and the impact that 187's death would have on the 
Foundation's medium-term emergency planning, SCP-187 is to be 
blindfolded during meals. Mealtimes are to last no longer than 15 
minutes, and must take place in a location for which SCP-187 has 
not predicted any significant changes. 


Remarks and comments made by SCP-187 which turned out to be 
‘prophecies’: 


The divorce of Dr. 


SCP-187: Your ring. 

Dr. : My ring? 

SCP-187: Yes, your wedding ring. 
Dr. : What about it? 

SCP-187: You're not wearing it. 
Dr. : Lam, look, it's right there. 
SCP-187: You won't be. 


Dr. ’s husband filed for divorce the next day. When she returned 
for duty, she was no longer wearing her wedding ring. She had been 
married for 19 years, more than half her life, so wearing the ring was 


considered ‘normal’, and not wearing the ring was enough of an 
abnormality for SCP-187 to see it. 


The deaths of the following D-Class personnel: 
D-16124: 


SCP-187: Why is he so swollen? 


D-16124 was later exposed to the vacuum of space after being sent 
through SCP-120 in order to ‘dial’ it to the next destination. 


D-16198: 


SCP-187: He's cute... 

Interviewer: Who? The man standing outside that cell? 
SCP-187: Yes. What's his name? 

Interviewer: | don't know. Hey, you there. 

D-16198 turned to face them, at which point SCP-187 
gasped and burst into tears, screaming, "He's going to 
die!" 

Interviewer: He will? How do you know? 

SCP-187: He's got a massive hole in the left-hand side 
of his head. 


D-16198 was later terminated by gunfire while attempting to escape 
the site. He may have attempted escape due to SCP-187's 
screaming, implying that she can set so-called self-fulfilling 
prophecies in motion. 


D-16206: 


SCP-187: His legs his legs his legs his legs HIS LEGS 
HIS LEGS WHERE ARE HIS FUCKING LEGS!? 


D-16206 was killed when SCP-__ escaped from its cell and bit him in 
half while attempting to flee the site. 


The attempted escape of SCP- 


While being escorted through Site , SCP-187 stopped 
outside SCP-_ 's cell, staring intently. 

Dr. Klein: What are you looking at? 

SCP-187: How did it break through such a heavy door? 
Dr. Klein: Excuse me? 

SCP-187: That door is nearly a foot thick. How did it 
manage to destroy it? 


17 hours later, SCP- somehow managed to work free of its 
restraints, and did indeed tear through the door to its cell. However, 
Dr. Klein had alerted security due to SCP-187's statements, so an 
armed response team was ready, and managed to subdue SCP- 


with gunfire. 


The cost of keeping a full-time medical team on hand to ensure 
SCP-187's well-being is obviously high; however, the fact that her 
anomaly allowed the prevention of an escape attempt by SCP- ,a 
Keter-class subject, shows that she may be useful for more than just 
pure research. 


A proposal has been submitted to introduce her to seemingly- 
indestructible SCPs, in the hopes that she will 'see’ them as either 
dead or destroyed, and be able to describe the manner of death/ 
destruction. This proposal is pending - the potential temporal 
logistics need careful consideration. She would in effect be seeing 
methods of destruction/termination, which would only be possible 
because she saw them. This has caused concern among several 
higher members of staff. 


Details of further experimentation may be found in Experiment Log 
187-1.

Experiment Log 187 1 


Experiment Log of: Dr. Gears, testing exposure of SCP-187 to 
other SCP items. 


Date: - - to - - 


Experiment-01: Exposure to SCP-173 


SCP-187 produced a sustained scream for one minute, thirty-eight 
seconds before losing consciousness and falling to the ground. 
SCP-187 had to be physically removed, and maintained a state of 
catatonia for 48 hours. SCP-187 regained consciousness, but was 
unable to remember what she had seen, and remained in mild shock 
for several days. 


Experiment-02: Exposure to SCP-139 


SCP-187 stated that she saw several bone fragments scattered 
around, along with [DATA EXPUNGED], as yet not identified. 
SCP-187 became extremely upset, screaming “it can see me! it’s 
out, it can fucking see me!” several times, and had to be physically 
restrained and removed. 


Experiment-03: Exposure to SCP-162 

SCP-187 felt no “pull” from SCP-162, and asked why she was 
viewing a pile of melted slag. SCP-187 removed from containment 
without incident. 

Experiment-04: Exposure to SCP-529 


SCP-187 appeared very nervous, asking “is this a joke?” several 


times. SCP-187 reported that she saw a cat, and that it looked 
somewhat lonely. SCP-187 proceeded to pet SCP-529, moving her 
hand over where the hindquarters would be, as if stroking the tail. 
Increased observation of SCP-529 requested. 


Experiment-05: Exposure to SCP-003 


SCP-187 appeared nervous, then said “hello” to SCP-003. SCP-187 
appeared to then engage in conversation with SCP-003; however no 
member of staff was able to hear any speech or other auditory 
emanations from SCP-003. When questioned, SCP-187 responded 
that SCP-003 was “A very nice lady, she seems really smart.” 
Increased security and review of SCP-003 has been requested. 


Experiment-06: Exposure to SCP-882 


SCP-187 entered the containment area, and viewed SCP-882. 
SCP-187 moved back several steps, and appeared to be in mild 
shock. SCP-187 was questioned, and responded “Jesus...it’s 
huge...this is...amazing.” SCP-187 stopped responding to questions 
and continued to stare at SCP-882 without blinking for three 
minutes. SCP-187 had to be physically removed from the 
containment area to continue questioning. SCP-187 appeared 
dazed, and responded: “it’s so...| mean, it’s so complex...it’s sick, 
with all the bones and blood in it, but it looks like the inside of a fifty 
foot tall clock. It’s...kinda pretty.” 


Shortly before SCP-187 was returned to containment, SCP-187 
suddenly fell to the ground, screaming and holding her head. After 
several hours, during which SCP-187 was heavily sedated and 
unresponsive to questioning, SCP-187 reported “grinding, smashing, 
squealing...it sounded like a train wreck that just went on and on.” 
SCP-187 reported the sound lasted for approximately three hours 
before fading out of hearing. Increased security around SCP-882 
has been requested 


Experiment-07: Exposure to SCP- 


[DATA REDACTED] 


Experiment-08: Exposure to SCP-015 


SCP-187 was exposed to SCP-015, with the help of team Zeta-9. 
SCP-187 reported only slight differences in the structure, until she 
opened a door leading outside of SCP-015. SCP-187 reported a 
hallway of pipes stretching for “miles and miles.” SCP-187 stated 
that she was not able to see the other end of the hall, but that it 
“seemed to branch off to the sides, with lots of side hallways.” 
Zeta-9 team members reported no unusual behavior within 
SCP-015, and that the door opened into open air, with no hallway of 
any kind visible. 


Experiment-09: Exposure to SCP-415 


SCP-187 begins observation of SCP-415, and immediately appears 
to be agitated. SCP-187 appears to be feeling physically ill, and 
asks repeatedly to be removed from observation. Questioning 
reveals that SCP-187 observed an empty, diseased corpse that had 
partially decomposed. Increased security of SCP-415 advised. 


Experiment-10: Exposure to SCP-455 


SCP-187 is taken to observe SCP-455 from a small zodiac craft. 
SCP-187 takes a sharp intake of breath, then shakes her head and 
attempts to look away. SCP-187 has to be physically manipulated to 
continue observation of SCP-455. SCP-187 makes several 
inarticulate noises, before screaming several times. SCP-187 
observed “A huge...thing. It was a mass of metal, just floating, like a 
big island made of rusty...bulges. It was like it was...sick, with 
tumors, but it was all metal. | could...feel it. It's not alive, it never 
was, but it...thinks it is. It's...what the hell was that?”. Re- 
continuation of recon team insertion into SCP-455 is under review. 


Experiment-11: Exposure to SCP-343 


SCP-187 enters containment with SCP-3438. SCP-187 and SCP-343 
appear to converse without incident about general topics for nearly 
half a hour (GEE TRANSCRIPT 33A-R). SCP-187 stated that 
SCP-343 “appears really nice, if kinda lonely. For a little girl, she's 
really well spoken! What is she, six, maybe seven?”. Increased 
research efforts in to SCP-343 are under review. 


Experiment-12: Exposure to SCP-646 


SCP-187 becomes violently ill upon observation of SCP-646. After 
recovery, SCP-187 stated that she observed “giant maggot...things. 
Hundreds of them, with kinda human bodies and faces...they had 
these...tentacle things, all stuck in to each other, and they were all 
squirming and...god. There was one near the middle...it wasn't soft, 
it had some kind of shell...and this kind of jelly head...it was...1 think 
it was mating...”. Enhanced security for SCP-646 advised. 


Experiment-13: Exposure to SCP-106 


SCP-187 observation test aborted after thirty seconds, due to 
escape incident by SCP-106. SCP-187 appeared to observe staff 
under attack or undergoing intense physical torture and mutilation 
two minutes before attack or capture. SCP-106 appeared to 
specifically target staff under observation by SCP-187. SCP-106 
appeared to specifically avoid harming SCP-187 on three separate 
incidents. Under questioning, SCP-187 said “That...that thing 
wanted an audience. Someone to watch. It likes it.” SCP-187 
refused to elaborate. Further questioning pending. 


SCP-188: The Craftsman 


Item #: SCP-188 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-188 poses no direct 
threat to any Foundation assets, SCP-188 is to be contained in 
Storage Unit J6-455. Its presence is to be noted during the biweekly 
Survey of Site Assets. During this time, any environmental effects 
exerted by SCP-188 are to be reversed. 


Description: SCP-188 is a volume of iridium metal hosting an effect 
that acts on a finite region around the object. With the exception of 
the regional effect, SCP-188 is, chemically and physically, an 
otherwise unremarkable sample of iridium metal. SCP-188 has a 
mass of 181.43 g and has been cast as a cylinder, with a radius of 

1 cm and a length of 2.56 cm. SCP-188's current cylindrical shape is 
not its original form, but one convenient for experimental 
manipulation and storage. 


The regional effect of SCP-188 induces changes in the environment. 
The changes take the form of discrete manipulations, such as 
scratches on surfaces or grouping and shaping of ambient material 
such as dust. These changes emerge over time and are widespread 
over the entire region of the effect. The changes show a high degree 
of complexity and structure, and have been seen to change with 
time. Further, the effect extends to all scales, and has included 
exceptionally small and intricate structures. When initially contained 
by the Foundation, SCP-188 consistently induced fractal motifs. 
Since containment, this has increasingly shifted to include spiral and 
flow motifs. Biological forms have emerged as a rare but consistent 
theme. 


As the environment around it is manipulated, SCP-188's regional 
effect will extend outward. Testing has shown that this region will 
only extend outward to a volume encompassing an area of 


~4000 m2. 


Attempts to nullify SCP-188's effect have included placement in a 
Faraday cage, placement in a radiation containment device, 
powdering, and melting SCP-188. None of these attempts have 
diminished the regional effect in any way. Current proposals to 
vaporize SCP-188 and recondense small portions of the vapor are 
being explored. 


SCP-188 first came to the attentions of a predecessor body to the 
Foundation on / /192 located at the rural Indiana properties of 

. After a thorough search, the object was found as a spike 
partially submerged in the ground, and appeared to be in the 
process of reshaping the local wheat crop through braiding together 
and flattening of stalks. No clear pattern had emerged at time of 
acquisition, though the effect had begun to extend over many 
meters. Though records are incomplete, it is known that efforts to 
contain the effect of the object failed. Embedding in bulk material, 
such as concrete or lead, did not diminish the initial size of the 
region the effect acted over. Further, these attempts ended with the 
object carving apart the containment sheath. The Foundation has 
evidence that more esoteric proposals were suggested, such as 
encasement in diamond. No evidence exists that these 
technologically sophisticated and resource intensive proposals were 
followed up on. 


When this parent organization was folded into the Foundation, the 
object and any existing records were inherited and placed under the 
SCP-188 classification. When the "crop circle" fad emerged, efforts 
were taken to determine if there was a connection between the crop- 
circle makers and the effects caused by SCP-188. Investigation 
showed no connection beyond the superficial, and it is the opinion of 
the O5s that the similarity is a coincidence. 


Proposals to explore or to illustrate any statistical consistency in the 
effect SCP-188 has upon its environment are being accepted and 
evaluated. At this time, due to the lack of inherent danger posed by 
SCP-188 in its current containment, proposals requiring extreme 
measures or contact with other SCPs are not encouraged.

SCP-189: Hair-Imitating Parasite 


Item #: SCP-189 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Samples of SCP-189 are to be 
stored in Cryo-containment Facility , with any surplus destroyed by 
incineration. Test subjects infected with SCP-189 are to be kept ina 
sealed containment chamber with an airlock that includes a 
chemical shower. Personnel interacting with test subjects must wear 
standard NBC hazard suits throughout their time inside the 
containment chamber, and submit to a chemical shower before 
exiting the airlock on their way out. When test subjects expire or are 
terminated, their remains must be sealed in an airtight container or 
body bag, which is subjected to the same chemical shower as the 
personnel carrying it out of the containment chamber, and disposed 
of by incineration. 


Staff members found to be infested with SCP-189 are to be 
quarantined according to the procedure outlined above for test 
subjects, and treated with anti-parasitic agent 189-A. See Document 
189- for treatment procedure. If SCP-189 infestation is discovered 
on any individual or animal at a facility, all personnel and animals at 
that facility are to be inspected for the presence of SCP-189 as 
detailed in Procedure 189- , any staff members treated as described 
above, any D-Class and/or non-SCP animals terminated and 
incinerated, and the facility subjected to a thorough cleaning with 
anti-parasitic agent 189-A. 


Should any cases of SCP-189 infestation be confirmed in persons or 
animals outside the Foundation, all those affected are to be 
immediately taken into custody and quarantined. Animals should be 
euthanised and incinerated, while humans are to be treated with 
anti-parasitic agent 189-A for the infestation, then administered 
Class C or B amnestics. Any individuals who may have been in 
close contact with the infectee(s) and/or entered their personal 


vehicle or place of residence should be checked for SCP-189 
infestation and treated if necessary. Refer to Document 189- for 
suitable cover stories. 


Description: SCP-189 is a species of parasitic roundworm 
(tentative taxonomic classification [DATA EXPUNGED)]) capable of 
infesting any mammalian life form. Infection most commonly occurs 
as a result of direct skin contact with one or more egg sacs. These 
egg sacs are covered with microscopic "hooks" similar to those on 
the cuticles of some species of nematode, which anchor the sacs to 
the skin's surface. Contact with sebum then prompts the eggs inside 
to hatch, at which time the larvae seek out and burrow into one or 
more nearby hair follicles. 


Once inside the follicle, the larva attaches itself at the base of the 
papilla and begins feeding off the capillaries supplying the papilla. 
Over the course of 2-3 days, the larva grows larger and develops 
into an adult. When it has fully matured, the new adult detaches 
from the papilla, severs the hair fiber from the root, and almost fully 
envelops the papilla and hair matrix. From this point forward, the 
worm feeds on the cells shed by the hair matrix (which would 
normally form the hair fiber), and begins to grow longer. 


Adult SCP-189 specimens grow only in length, extruding a "tail" 
which incorporate some of the pigments and keratin from the cells 
they consume into an outer cuticle. This, combined with the fact that 
the diameter of a specimen's "tail" is usually similar to that of the hair 
that would normally grow from the host follicle, causes SCP-189 to 
be visually indistinguishable from a normal hair, except upon 
microscopic inspection. However, some specimens will occasionally 
flex, coil and uncoil, and/or lash their "tail", particularly in response 
to tactile stimulation. The reason for this behavior is not currently 
understood, nor is why only some individuals behave in this fashion, 
though it has been proposed that [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


As with many other species of roundworms, SCP-189 is 
hermaphroditic, with both sets of genitalia contained in the "head" 
(the portion enveloping the papilla and hair matrix). Fertilized eggs 
are produced in groups of 1-3 and enveloped in a protective egg 
sac, which is then incorporated into the growing "tail". Egg sacs 
grow their microscopic "hooks" and the eggs typically mature by the 


time the portion of the tail containing them has extended 
approximately 1 mm beyond the surface of the host's skin. Once 
fully developed, the egg sac passes to the exterior of the organism's 
tail, becoming loosely embedded in its cuticle. At this point, if the 
egg sac is brought into contact with a suitable host surface 
(including the skin of the current host), it attaches to this surface and 
is pulled free from its parent. This is the primary method SCP-189 
uses both to infect new hosts and to further infest the current host. 


The "tail" of an adult specimen of SCP-189 is no more durable than 
normal hair, and its "head" no more strongly attached to the host 
follicle. The "tail" can be cut or broken, or the entire organism pulled 
out, by any method that would similarly affect hair. Severed sections 
of an adult's tail can grow a new "head" and regenerate into a 
separate individual, but only if they can attach to a suitable host. The 
death of a follicle infested by an adult SCP-189 (or any other event 
that would cause the loss of that follicle's hair) causes that individual 
to detach from its host. Without a host, adult SCP-189 die within 1-6 
hours. Mature eggs can remain viable for up to years after the 
death of their parent, and as such even dead adults can present a 
risk of infestation. 


When an infected host dies, any surviving adult specimens of 
SCP-189 continue to feed and grow, eventually burrowing into the 
host's tissues. Once decay begins, however, the specimen is killed 
by the toxins produced. 


Addendum 1: SCP-189 was first discovered 19 , when Dr. A 

F (then unaffiliated with the Foundation) traveled to a remote 
area of the [DATA EXPUNGED] rainforest as part of a six-month 
biodiversity survey. Dr. F brought Kara, his three-year-old pet 
golden retriever, along with him on the expedition. It seems likely 
that the dog was first infested some time during this trip. Regardless 
of when the infestation began, by the time Dr. F and Kara 
returned to the United States it is believed that over 80% of the 
animal's follicles had been infested by SCP-189. Approximately 
days after his return, Dr. F was petting Kara when the dog's "fur" 
began to move. Recognizing the abnormal nature of the infestation, 
Dr. F contacted Dr.| W_ ,aparasitologist, with an invitation to 
study the newly-discovered organism. It was when Drs. F and 


W_ submitted a paper on SCP-189 for publication that the 
Foundation became aware of its existence, and immediately took 
Drs. F and W _ into custody and seized all of their research 
materials. Both doctors were later recruited into the Foundation, with 
Dr. W_ becoming the lead researcher in charge of SCP-189, and 
currently stationed in [DATA EXPUNGED] investigating indigenous 
populations of SCP-189 for possible containment or eradication. 


Addendum 2: Since the Foundation first became aware of 
SCP-189, there have been __ incidents of infestation outside the 
Foundation, resulting in humans and animals confirmed 
infected in various parts of the world. Continued monitoring is 
warranted to ensure that such incidents do not come to the attention 
of the general public. 


« SCP-188 | SCP-189 | SCP-190 » 


SCP-190: A Prize Toybox 


Item #: SCP-190 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-190 is kept in Security 
Locker 23 at Site 41. Children under the age of 10 are not allowed 
within 50 meters of SCP-190 except under testing conditions. All 
personnel working at Site 41 are to be made aware of SCP-190's 
secondary effect, and its innocuous nature. Personnel transfer 
requests made due to SCP-190's secondary effect are to be 
expedited, unless doing so would violate the special containment 
procedures for another Item. 


All individuals who have directly interacted with SCP-190 are to be 
monitored indefinitely for long-term side effects. 


Description: SCP-190 is a carved wooden box banded with iron, 
measuring 50 cm x 70 cm x 35 cm. The lid is carved with a 
representation of a large circus tent with an central open panel, 
within which stands a figure dressed as a stereotypical ringmaster. 
The carvings on the sides consist of assorted animals typically 
associated with circuses, including lions, tigers, bears, elephants, 
and horses. These carvings move at a maximum observed rate of 
approximately 5 mm per day and time-lapse monitoring indicates 
that the depicted creatures appear to be acting in a non-violent play 
behavior with each other. 


When an individual age 10 or older opens the hinged lid, SCP-190 
contains 17 marbles of assorted size and color, 2 sticks of lightly 
used green sidewalk chalk, and 1 deck of Bicycle brand playing 
cards. These objects can be manipulated within the confines of 
SCP-190, but cannot be removed from it. Attempts to remove these 
objects encounter an otherwise undetectable, impenetrable barrier 
stretching across the opening to the box. Individuals age 10 or older 
who interact with SCP-190 or its contents typically report feelings of 


unease or discomfort until they cease interacting with them. 


When an individual under the age of 10 opens SCP-190, it will 
contain 1-5 toys or games intended for use by children. Observed 
objects include stuffed animals, rubber balls, yo-yos, dolls, blocks, 
and simple board games. These objects can be freely removed from 
SCP-190 by any prepubescent individual, although attempts by 
pubescent or post-pubescent encounter the same barrier described 
above. The objects typically possess a circus theme, depicting 
classic circus animals, venues, performers, and design schemes 
containing red, gold, white, stars, and/or the initials "HF". 


Children in the appropriate age range express great pleasure and 
excitement when playing with SCP-190 or the objects it produces, 
regardless of prior attitudes regarding toys or games of that type. 
Children exhibit more energetic play behaviors than they normally 
do, as well as more physical activities such as somersaults, 
cartwheels, climbing nearby objects, and simple 1- and 2-object 
juggling. Most play behaviors include incidental elements of causing

objects produced by SCP-190 are capable of causing extreme 
damage, regardless of their composition. Representative samples

After initial testing ceased following the determination of baseline 
properties, an additional property became apparent. If SCP-190 and 
its contents have not been used by a child under the age of 10 for 
29.5 consecutive days, faint calliope music will be audible to all 
individuals within 50 meters of SCP-190. This music appears to act 
as a mild cognitohazard, wherein children under the age of 10 will 
seek out SCP-190 if they are aware of its existence. 


Long-term monitoring of individuals who interacted with SCP-190 as 
children reveal that they are approximately 4 times more likely than 
age-peers to become performers once they are adults, either 
professionally or as a primary hobby. Typical examples include 
acrobatics, magic/sleight-of-hand, animal training, and 
improvisational oratory and acting. Subjects do not otherwise display 
statistically significant behavioral abnormalities.

SCP-191: Cyborg Child 


Item #: SCP-191 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-191 is currently housed in 
a6mx6mroom at Site-17. To date, SCP-191 has not made any 
requests for furnishings or entertainment. 


Current furnishings include: 


* One (1) wooden-frame futon with a 15 cm (6 in) pad and 
standard cotton bedsheets and blankets. All sheets are to be 
sterilized each morning according to standard procedures. 
The futon pad itself will be replaced every six months, and the 
old pad discarded through incineration. 

* One (1) standard 220 V type G power outlet with an 
emergency cut-off box (fuse, circuit breaker, and manual non- 
insulating guillotine) located outside the cell. 

* One (1) standard hazardous waste disposal unit (liquid and 
solid waste). All drainage tubes shall lead directly to an 
incinerator unit. 


SCP-191 is to be dressed in loose, sleeveless garments made of 
100% long-staple cotton. Fresh clothing will be provided once daily, 
with used garments sterilized according to standard procedures. 
Bathing is to be done once every evening, in a washtub filled with a 
solution of water and baking soda. Feeding (in the form of a sterile 
saline solution supplemented with vitamins, minerals, antibiotics, 
and a mild anesthetic) shall be carried out twice a day via injection 
into a metallic tube located in the base of the neck. 


SCP-191 is capable of limited self-care, including draining waste 
and recharging internal batteries. A log shall be kept of power 
consumption, and any unusual changes in power usage reported to 
supervising staff. 


Daily inspections for injury should be carried out after bathing. 
Should SCP-191 require medical care, refer to documents 191- 
Alpha (Special Medical Needs) and 191-Alpha Supplemental 
(Repair of Non-Biological Components) before administering care. 


At least two armed guards are to be present in the room any time 
that personnel have contact with SCP-191, although a translucent 
screen may be utilized for privacy purposes. Standard anti-computer 
countermeasures are ineffective, as SCP-191's components have 
been hardened against electromagnetic pulse (EMP). 


Description: SCP-191 is a female human child, approximately 
years old. It is believed to have been a test subject of several 
experimental surgeries performed by the late Dr. (see 
below). 


1. 80% of the left half of the face and skull have been removed, with 
the eye and ear replaced by a complex transceiver system that 
allows it to receive and transmit not only visual and auditory input, 
but a wider spectrum of electromagnetic radiation ranging from low 
frequency radio to high-energy gamma rays. The lower jaw, teeth, 
and larynx have been removed and replaced with [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. The esophagus has been rerouted to an artificial 
orifice at the back of the neck (feeding tube), and the trachea 
rerouted directly to an air filtration device. Due to these alterations, 
SCP-191 is incapable of speech, although it has been reported 
occasionally vocalizing distress through rapid respiration. 


2. An input-output device has been placed into the right forearm, 
replacing the radius and ulna bones. The device contains interfaces 
for a variety of modern and obsolete formats, including USB, 
Ethernet, Firewire, and DIN-8 pin, as well as seven (7) other 
interfaces corresponding to no known formats. The device can be 
accessed by pulling back the skin over the right arm like a shirt 
sleeve. 


3. A 24-core processor array has been implanted in the brain, which 
"translates" input from all artificial components, essentially allowing 
SCP-191 to read and write computer data without the use of an 
external interface. Internal communication is carried out through 
fiber optic cables implanted through the glial cells and the entire 


nervous system. Damage to the brain stem and cerebellum due to 
the implantation procedure has severely damaged SCP-191's motor 
skills. 


4. The right hand and right foreleg have been replaced with artificial 
components, consisting primarily of steel, carbon-fiber, and an 
unknown polymer-like substance. The exposed areas of tissue are 
susceptible to injury and infection: due to damage to the 
spinothalamic tract, SCP-191 has reduced pain and temperature 
sensitivity in its limbs. Reconstructive surgery by Dr. was able to 
provide some relief, but regular doses of antibiotics and analgesics 
are still required. 


5. [DATA EXPUNGED] 


6. The lungs, heart, and major blood vessels have been replaced 
with mechanical analogues. It has been determined that this system 
would allow SCP-191’s bodily systems to be restarted after death, 
and may have actually [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


7. The digestive system has been completely reconfigured to the 
point where regular food intake is both unnecessary and dangerous. 
Waste is now disposed of via a drainage system located in the lower 
back and consists of a thick, dark gray viscous slime consisting 
primarily of [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


8. The reproductive organs (uterus, ovaries, etc.) have been 
removed and replaced with [DATA EXPUNGED]. According to 

's notes, this was done to "provide extra space by removing 
non-vital components." Hormone therapy has been proposed to 
counteract the long-term effects of the missing glands: this proposal 
is under review pending analysis of possible complications due to 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. 


9. [DATA EXPUNGED] 


10. At least fifteen (15) other alterations of unknown purpose. Given 
this fact, and the haphazard integration of the "useful" components, 
it is believed that they were performed merely to test the viability of 

such procedures on other subjects. Investigations are underway as 

to whether Dr. was planning to [DATA EXPUNGED]. At 


present, any theories as to the purpose behind these alterations are 
speculative at best, as Dr. died during the raid in which 
SCP-191 was recovered (see notes below), and the only surviving 
records of his research are a single, half-burned spiral-bound 
notebook consisting mostly of cryptic notes regarding a "higher 
purpose." 


History: SCP-191 was recovered by Foundation agents during a 
brief collaborative effort with the Global Occult Coalition, in which a 
raid was conducted on the laboratory of Dr. , a Suspected 
member of . SCP-191 was the only test subject recovered 
from the laboratory: all other test subjects expired during the raid 
(either disposed of by Dr. , or eliminated as hostiles by the task 
force). 


Preliminary assessment concluded that full reconstruction was 
impossible, that the components introduced were too technologically 
advanced to risk becoming widely known, and that it could be a 
source of valuable data regarding [DATA EXPUNGED] if kept alive. 
Subject was classified SCP-191 and moved to Site- on - - .lts 
disappearance, and those of the other test subjects, was later 
blamed on a local serial killer who was arranged to be killed in 
prison while awaiting trial. 


Addendum 191-01: Testing of SCP-191's abilities has commenced. 


Psychological Analysis by Dr. Glass 


SCP-191 has responded fairly well to containment. It is 
completely docile and cooperative, and when not being 
interacted with, it soends most of its time sitting still or 
curled up in a fetal position. This may be a sign of 
distress, but it is more likely for physical comfort, as 
normal body movements and postures are difficult. 


Mental acuity is questionable. Although capable of rapid 
data analysis and communications when physically 
linked to a computer system, it seems unable to follow 
conversations with human beings unless the conversant 
speaks slowly and uses simple words. Complex tasks 


are also impossible unless it is guided at every step. 


Its mood seems consistent, though somewhat 
inscrutable. It continually affects melancholy, will not 
make eye contact unless asked to, and any attempts to 
induce a cheerful or humorous mood have proven 
fruitless. However, it shows no signs of ongoing mental 
distress, and claims (through computer interface) that it 
is feeling well. 


To date SCP-191 has not requested access to (or 
information about) any acquaintance it had before its 
abduction.

Experiment Log 191 


Note: This is a test log for exploring the capabilities of SCP-197. 
Please remember that SCP-191 is a research tool, not an 
entertainment center. Any test involving games or other recreational 
technology should be conducted in a professional manner, and not 
for amusement. - Dr. 


Subject: " Paint," a ubiquitous, simple drawing program. 


Instructions: Interface with a computer via USB port, and draw 
specified pictures using Paint. 


Results: SCP-191 was instantly able to emulate the functions of a 
mouse and keyboard. When showed any photograph, 191 was able 
to reproduce it within seconds using only the pencil tool, creating 
copies indistinguishable from the original. 


After the test was recorded, it was noticed that SCP-191 had 
continued drawing in additional Paint files. SCP-191 appeared 
surprised, and opened a text file onscreen claiming that it had not 
realized it was still drawing. 


The following drawings were discovered: 


¢ Three people wearing what appear to be GOC uniforms, 
standing in a burning office, pointing guns at a man across the 
room. The man is committing suicide via gunshot wound to 
the head, his face obscured by blood.1 

¢ An adult and child trick-or-treating. The child is a girl wearing 
makeup similar to that worn by Boris Karloff in Frankenstein, 
and the adult [DATA EXPUNGED]. 

* [DATA EXPUNGED/? 


Subject: The video game " 


Instructions: Attempt to emulate the functions of a "Wiimote," and 
play a video game. 


Result: Test began poorly, as SCP-191's impaired motor skills 
caused it to snap the disc in two before it could place it in the 
console. SCP-191 became distressed. It then stared at the disc, and 
the red light from its eye changed to green for a moment. 

When Dr. _ returned with a fresh disc (less than two minutes had 
passed), the game was already running on the machine. Dr. 
inquired as to how that had happened, and a message appeared on 
the screen saying, "/ looked at the ones and the zeroes and | loaded 
those in. I'm sorry, | know I'm not supposed to do it this way, but | 
didn't want you to waste a disc. Please don't be angry." SCP-191 
still seemed fearful of reprimand, even after being reassured that it 
was doing excellently. 

SCP-191 made a perfect run-through of the game, despite the fact 
that it did not make any physical movements consistent with the Wii 
controls. 


Subject: 


° "(a well-known video-effects program) 
¢ A 40-second video file from a security camera located in the 
employee cafeteria. 


Instructions: Perform a series of video-enhancement techniques 
used by forensic detectives on the popular television drama". . ." 
(techniques that cannot actually be done in reality): 


« "Zoom and Enhance:" SCP-191 was instructed to zoom in on 
the window over the parking lot and render the license plates 
on the cars, which were illegible from this distance (the actual 
license plates had been photographed for reference) 
"Uncrop:" SCP-191 was asked to shrink the video by 100 px 
on every side, and fill in the blank space with what it believed 
the rest of the cafeteria looked like (again, data that was not 
actually available in the video) 
* "Rotate Camera:" SCP-191 was informed of the exact location 
and angle of the other security camera in the cafeteria, and 
asked to render the scene as viewed from that angle, filling in 


the parts that the current camera did not see (the actual 
footage from the second camera was requisitioned and held 
for reference). 


Result: SCP-191 could not understand the instructions at first. Dr. 
had to provide a lengthy explanation, and then stand behind 
SCP-191 and give it instructions one step at a time. It was several 
minutes before the test could even begin. 

However, once SCP-191 actually got started, the videos and frames 
were finished in less than seven minutes (of which at least three 
were spent watching the rendering progress bar). 


« "Zoom and Enhance" test: SCP-191 successfully rendered 
close-ups of the license plates, complete with photorealistic 
scratches and dents. However, the plates were found not to 
match the license plates on the vehicles. SCP-191 typed, 
"The data wasn't there, so | had to guess."3 

¢ "Uncrop" test: SCP-191 expanded the video canvas and filling 
in what was in the blank space, rendering the extra image 
seamlessly. It did not match the actual cafeteria, but once 
again, the data was not in the video file and SCP-191 had 
been forced to guess. 

* "Rotate Camera" test: The generated video matched the angle 
of the second camera perfectly, and almost everything visible 
from the angle of C-1 matched the scene in C-2 very closely. 
As before, places not visible were very different. One table 
only visible in C-2, that had been seating [REDACTED], was 
now (in the generated video) seating Dr. andAgent (the 
attending doctor and agent supervising SCP-191), eating 
lunch and talking.4 


Although there were many visual differences between the original 
videos and SCP-191's copies, many on-site personnel were unable 
to determine which ones were the forgeries. 


Footnotes

acquired, identified this as the death of Dr. , SCP-191's

2. SCP-191 was once again asked if it was really feeling well, and 


once again replied (via text file) that it was fine, and that the 
[EXPUNGED] "didn't mean anything."

depicted her saying to Agent .Thereal Agent declined to 
comment. 


SCP-192: Flawless X-Ray Machine 


Item #: SCP-192 
Object Class: Safe 


Containment Procedures have been updated as per successful 
move operation 192-M-1471607220 from Site- A. Please see 
Addendum 192-M-D for historical information. 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-192 is safely contained 
within SCP-192-F. SCP-192-F is located in Room 9-24, a standard 
Foundation Grade-R secure room rated for radioactive objects in 
Site-125A's North Wing. Room 9-24 must always have at least four 
functioning Geiger counters. An inspection of Room 9-24's radiation 
proofing and the Geiger counters must be carried out fortnightly. The 
housing for SCP-192 must not be breached under any 
circumstances. 


Removal of any section of external casing of SCP-192-F must only 
be carried out during scheduled weekly maintenance by Level 2 staff 
under the supervision of a Level 3 assigned to this floor. Any 
breaches in the casing of SCP-192-F must be reported to Site-125A 
facilities management. Any breaches in the housing of SCP-192 
must be treated as a radioactive object containment breach as 
defined by Foundation and Site-125A guidelines and a full 
evacuation of North Wing will be carried out by all staff. Please see 
Document 192-CU for clean-up and re-containment instructions 
based on current object analysis. 


Access to the room containing SCP-192-F for testing purposes can 
be granted by written request to Site-125A administration staff, but 
will require the approval of at least one Level 3 assigned to the 9th 
floor. This member of staff must be present for all testing. 


+ [Addendum 192-M-D - 
Archived Containment Procedures] 


SCP-192 is to be maintained in lock down at 
its current location at Hospital, United 
Kingdom (Site- A), pending further analysis. 


The room containing SCP-192 is to remain 
locked, with the key in the possession of Dr. 

. Anyone wishing to conduct 
experiments with SCP-192 must have 
permission from the relevant Level 3 personnel 
assigned to this object. The hospital wing that 
houses SCP-192 is to remain closed, pending 
engineering work to stabilize the hospital 
buildings. The housing for SCP-192 must not 
be breached under any circumstances, and 
must be checked on a weekly basis. 
Maintenance will be carried out weekly. 


Description: SCP-192 is a vacuum x-ray tube that forms the 
primary component of a diagnostic x-ray machine manufactured by 
on - -20 , with diagnostic use commencing on - -20 . This 
machine was designated SCP-192-1. When an image is produced 
by a machine with SCP-192 inside, the area examined on the 
subject will be modified via unknown means to match the image 
eventually produced. This has the effect of introducing or removing 
injuries or disease from the subject, in accordance with the image. 


SCP-192 emits a high quantity of alpha and beta radiation, 
exceeding recommended annual dose limits for Foundation 
personnel within one minute of constant exposure. These emissions 
are present even when SCP-192 is not being used and 
disconnected from any sort of power supply. This is believed to be 
due to the materials used in the construction of SCP-192's cathode 
based on current working theories. 


SCP-192-1 appears to absorb this radiation emission, although all 
testing performed so far on SCP-192-1 has shown it to be 
constructed out of regular materials for this kind of machine. 


MAINTENANCE UPDATE / /2014: Containment of 
SCP-192 by SCP-192-1 has shown to not be complete. 
Imperfections in the manufacturing process combined 


with initial testing conducted by Site- A have weakened 
SCP-192-1's casing. A request for relocation of SCP-192 
and a re-evaluation has been submitted to regional 
command. 


SITE UPDATE /05/2014: 192-M-1471607220 was 
successfully carried outon /05/2014. All Foundation 
staff at Site- A have been transferred to Site-125A and 
Site- A has been decommissioned. SCP-192-F, a 
Foundation constructed replica of SCP-192-1, was 
constructed at [DATA REDACTED] and installed at 
Site-125A prior to the move operation. 


Actual radiation doses during regular operation of SCP-192-1 were 
within standard safety margins, and this remains the case with 
SCP-192-F. 


The presence of SCP-192 was discovered by Dr. , a covert 
Foundation operative tracking SCP- in [DATA REDACTED]. Dr 
was requested to be present during the initial examinations 
performed by SCP-192-1, and was the first staff member at 
Hospital to witness its effects. Dr. notified the Foundation, and 
the other three non-Foundation staff present were successfully given 
Class-A amnestics. A research team was subsequently sent in and 
the room containing SCP-192-1 was quarantined. Results of the 
investigation into the origin of SCP-192 can be reviewed in 
Document 192-I . 


From testing of SCP-192, the following outcomes have been noted 
to occur with no consistent pattern. Any change in a subject appears 
to occur approximately three seconds after the x-ray image is taken.

disappearances of surgical or 
other medical equipment. 


During one test to determine if SCP-192 could be used as a means 
of treatment by repeating an examination on an already examined 
subject, SCP-192 produced a blurry image, which had the resulting 
effect of [DATA EXPUNGED}], almost instantly killing subject 
D-192-03 (See incident report 192-03 -02). The personnel operating 
SCP-192 during this test were referred for immediate psychiatric 


evaluation.

SCP-193: The Tissue Snail 


Item #: SCP-193 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-193-01 is to be contained 
in Bio Site 42 bio-hazard locker 532-F at all times except during 
approved experiments. Every 24 hours, all instances of SCP-193-02 
are to be removed from SCP-193-01 and incinerated except on 
feeding days. Once each week, one instance of SCP-193-02 shall 
be provided with 30 cc of human mucus and left in containment with 
SCP-193-01. Physical contact with any element of SCP-193 without 
full level 2 bio-hazard gear is strongly discouraged. Personnel 
believed to be suffering from exposure to SCP-193-03 shall report to 
a supervisor for immediate medical examination and assistance. 


Description: SCP-193-01 is consistent in external appearance with 
a box of brand facial tissue. The bottom folds of the box are 
abnormally complex, and house a previously unknown soft-bodied 
invertebrate. The creature's genetics suggest that it is a member of 
phylum Mollusca, but do not match any more specific known 
taxonomic classification. The "cardboard" of the box has proven to 
be a highly specialized shell generated and maintained by the 
organism, which will gradually repair damage to the box if able. As 
compared with cardboard the shell is many times less flammable 
and more durable, but is by no means indestructible. 


SCP-193-01 continuously sheds thin segments of its body 
(instances of SCP-193-02) at a rate of roughly 1 up to 5 segments 
per 24 hours depending on available nutrients and remaining space 
inside the shell. Instances of SCP-193-02 are gradually forced into 
the main cavity of the shell, where they dry almost instantly. Much 
as the shell of SCP-193-01 resembles a cardboard box, instances of 
SCP-193-02 resemble common facial tissue in appearance and 
texture; however, both the shell and the segments are composed of 
chitin, fibroin, and other proteins common in mollusks as opposed to 


the expected paper products. How SCP-193-01 produces sufficient 
matter to maintain the shell and continuously generate SCP-193-02 
is presently unknown. (See Addendum 193-1.) 


When SCP-193-02 is brought into contact with the mucous 
membranes of any mammalian subject, the segment releases 3-5 
grams of an as of yet unidentified odorless, colorless gas 
(SCP-193-03). If inhaled, SCP-193-03 will permeate the sinus tissue 
and increase mucus production by 500 - 800%. In humans, the 
increased mucus production unsurprisingly results in the need for 
additional facial tissue, typically leading to further exposure to 
SCP-193-02 and -03 and further mucus production. Repeated 
exposure to SCP-193-03 can, in roughly 70% of cases, lead to 
permanent dysfunction of a subject's mucus production. The 
resulting symptoms vary, but include a variety of respiratory issues, 
prolonged pneumonia, and (in extreme cases) suffocation. In 
roughly 10% of cases of repeated exposure, the opposite effect is 
observed: damage to the mucus glands is so severe that the subject 
is left incapable of mucus production. Such subjects are especially 
vulnerable to inflammatory respiratory diseases, infection, and 
damage to the lungs due to inhalation of particulate matter. 


No explanation has yet been discovered for the unusual adaptations 
exhibited in SCP-193; research is ongoing. 


Addendum 193-1: As of / /_ , Dr. has confirmed additional 
properties of SCP-193-02. When exposed to at least 10 cc of mucus 
and left unattended, instances of SCP-193-02 will attempt to return 
to SCP-193-01 using a combination of bodily oscillation and gas 
propulsion (via controlled emission of SCP-193-03). The segments 
appear to detect possible observers via body heat to determine 
when they can safely return to SCP-193-01 unobserved. This 
behavior continues in the presence of thoroughly insulated 
observers, but not in the presence of large artificial heat sources, 
supporting the theory that SCP-193-02 detects heat. On reaching 
SCP-193-01, instances of SCP-193-02 will enter through folds in the 
bottom of the shell, reintegrating with the main body. These 
behaviors, combined with the previously cataloged adaptations, are 
believed to be the hunting and feeding method of SCP-193. More 
detailed research into the digestion and dietary needs of the 


organism are ongoing. 


The locomotion of SCP-193-02 was discovered following an 
irregularity in experiment 193- , in which several of the used 
"tissues" were left unattended for several minutes. When Dr. 
returned, he discovered that these instances of SCP-193-02 had 
surrounded the locker holding SCP-193-01, but were unable to 
penetrate containment. Further experimentation lead to the 
discovery of these previously unknown aspects of the organism. Dr. 

has been reprimanded for leaving a known organic SCP 
unsupervised in a testing chamber.

SCP-194: Carrion Host 


Item #: SCP-194 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-194 are to be 
kept in an aviary on the grounds on Site-43. The area around this 
aviary will be fenced in with no less than fifty (50) meters of space 
between the aviary itself and any part of the fence. SCP-194 is to be 
fed daily on dead rodents; discarded feathers from SCP-194 can be 
collected at the time of feeding. Only personnel that do not have a 
history of introversion or isolation may be tasked with feeding 
SCP-194. Instances of SCP-194-1 are to be kept in a locked 
chamber underground in Site-43. This chamber will be furnished 
with straw and a ceiling light to simulate the sun. SCP-194-1 is to be 
fed a diet identical to that of SCP-194 with the addition of feathers 
from SCP-194 on request. At no time may SCP-194-1 come into 
contact with SCP-194 unless SCP-194-1 has fully transformed into 
SCP-194. Personnel are forbidden to interact with SCP-194-1 
outside of interviews and other events scheduled with Dr. 

Personnel who have had unauthorized interactions with SCP-194 or 
SCP-194-1 must undergo mandatory psychiatric evaluation. 


Description: SCP-194 are visually identical to Corvus corax, or the 
common raven. Their behavior is also identical to that of most 
ravens, save for how they display an abnormal degree of comfort in 
the presence of humans. SCP-194 will not flee from humans unless 
they are obviously threatened, and are known to perch on humans 
when it is convenient for them to do so. They also have a distinct 
diet from normal ravens, preferring to eat meat exclusively over 
grains and seeds. 


SCP-194 gather in large numbers around introverted persons, 
usually people with antisocial tendencies and little or no history of 
violence. SCP-194 groups will follow said people around, flocking 
near their homes or places of work, and flying through whatever 


areas they are in while outside. Persons who are in prolonged 
contact with SCP-194 become SCP-194-1. No evidence has been 
found to suggest that SCP-194 have this effect on other animals. 


SCP-194-1 quickly develop antisocial personality disorders and an 
isolationist mindset if they did not already have those attributes. 
SCP-194-1 tend to neglect work and relationships, preferring to 
spend most of their time outside in the presence of SCP-194. If 
SCP-194 begin to moult, SCP-194-1 will gather up the feathers to 
eat. Once SCP-194-1 develops a habit of eating feathers they will 
eat little or nothing else. They will begin to lose body weight at a far 
greater rate than would be possible even with voluntary starvation. 


Approximately one (1) week after the feather-eating stage 
commences, SCP-194-1 will undergo a metamorphosis; the 
shoulder blades will develop thin bony protrusions that grow 
outwards with skin and muscle tissue growing around the bones as 
they extend. Over the course of twenty-four (24) hours, the 
protrusions will continue to develop, forming hollow-boned, jointed 
limbs very similar to birds' wings. Feathers may already be visibly 
growing from the "wings" at this period, or they may grow in 
afterward. All SCP-194-1 who were interviewed have described this 
transformation as extremely painful, and internal injuries around the 
upper back are common, as are conditions associated with 
malnourishment. 


After the flightless wing-like appendages are fully grown, SCP-194-1 
will become lethargic and spend most of their time resting. They will 
also become increasingly obsessed with being in the presence of 
and mimicking SCP-194 and may be hostile to human interference. 
SCP-194-1 will continue to lose weight and undergo more physical 
changes, starting with a dramatic shrinking of the spine, atrophy of 
the limbs, and reshaping of the skull, and ending with the growth of 
black feathers over any parts of the body that do not already have 
them. If SCP-194-1 survives to the end of this stage (partial 
transformation was fatal in 70% of all observed cases), SCP-194-1 
will have fully changed shape into SCP-194. Testing has revealed 
that while it is possible to delay and prolong the transformation for 
up to six (6) months by keeping SCP-194-1 separated from 
SCP-194, there is no known way to stop or reverse the 


transformation without killing SCP-194-1 after the "wings" are 
sprouted. 


Interview 194-3 
Interviewed: 6754-D, currently undergoing middle stages of 
SCP-194-1 transformation 


Interviewer: Dr. 


Foreword: Out of several subjects, 6754-D was one of the most 
open interviewees. However, like all other subjects, 6754-D spoke in 
a quiet monotone for the entire interview and on every other 
occasion he was spoken to. 


<Begin Log, // > 


Dr. : Good morning. 

6754-D: (pause) ...Morning. 

Dr. : Today I'd like to talk to you about SCP-194. 
6754-D: That's not what they're called. 

Dr. : (pause) ... Then what do you call them? 
6754-D: They're my flock. My unkindness. My hosts. 
Carrion brethren. Any name you like, but not a number. 


Dr. : Can a number not be a name? 

6754-D: (silence) 

Dr. : (pause) ...Why are you drawn to SCP... the 
hosts? 

6754-D: They came to me. They recognized me as one 

of them. 

Dr. : AS araven? 

6754-D: As a prisoner. As lonely. As... (silence) 

Dr. : As what? 

6754-D: (silence) 

Dr. : Let me try a different question. Why did you 


eat their feathers? 
6754-D: They were gifts. You don't refuse gifts. 


Dr. : Why do you eat nothing but the feathers? 
6754-D: Don't need anything else. 
Dr. : ...Do you know what's happening to you? 


6754-D: I'm joining them. I'm becoming one of them. I'll 
be beautiful. 


Dr. : Are you aware that most people who have 
been in your position have died painfully in mid-shift? 
6754-D: (silence.) 

Dr. : Are you aware that if you do survive, you will 
be caged along with the other ravens in the aviary? 
6754-D: (silence. 6754-D did not respond to any more 
questions, and after twenty minutes Dr. 

concluded the interview.) 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Seeing how 6754-D seemed to empathize with 
SCP-194, | recommend that no more D-class personnel be allowed 
to come in contact with SCP-194. | also recommend euthanizing any 
Foundation personnel who become SCP-194-1, as I'm not sure how 
much of their intelligence the birds retain if they survive the change 
and don't want to risk a bunch of sapient birds with knowleage of the 
Foundation possibly getting loose. -Dr. 


Incident Report 194-1 On 05/09/ ~—at 1300 hours, a group of 
ravens flying over Site-43 landed on the SCP-194 aviary and took 
up perches around its surface. One latched itself onto the chain 
mesh around the entry door to the aviary and began trying to 
manipulate the handle. Shots fired by approaching security guards 
made the group take flight; of the invading birds, one (1) was shot 
dead, one (1) was injured and added to the aviary after recovery, 
and at least six (6) are confirmed to have escaped. 


Incident Report 194-2 On 05/09/ = at 1500 hours, Agent 
Andersson entered the fenced area around the SCP-194 aviary, 
using his security clearance to bypass the checkpoint. He was 
carrying a bucket of dead rats, leading the guards to believe that he 
was feeding SCP-194 off of the normal schedule. He opened the 
aviary door and began pulling specimens of SCP-194 out and 
releasing them into the air. Security responded quickly enough to 
incapacitate Agent Andersson and shut the aviary door, but not 
before three (3) specimens of SCP-194 were released. Andersson 
has since been redesignated SCP-194-1 and contained. 


Incident Report 194-3 On 05/09/ ~— at 2100 hours, , the 
designated feeder for SCP-194, entered the secure area around the 


SCP-194 aviary with a bucket of dead rats, and went to the rotating 
feeder outside of the aviary to fill it. Recordings show stopping 
outside the feeder for almost a minute and staring at SCP-194 inside 
the aviary. She then set the bucket down and moved towards the 
door. The security guards restrained before she could open it. 
Subsequent examination and questioning suggests a strong psychic 
compulsion was in effect and she was released without further 
penalties. 


Addendum: Dr. , |!expect much better from you than this. 
You should be focusing your efforts on what's really important: 
finding a way to distinguish SCP-194 from any other bird. We don't 
have the resources to exterminate every bird in the world, and your 
piss-poor job of keeping the ones we have captured in confinement 
isn't helping. We need something tighter than an aviary you got from 
Home Depot, and we need more information on the birds, not the 
people who turn into them. -O5-

SCP-195: A "Medicinal Whiskey" 


Item #: SCP-195 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: One case containing seventeen 
(17) bottles of SCP-195 exists in Foundation custody. It is kept ina 
number three Secure Containment Locker unit in the Safe-class 
storage section of Site-1279. Access to SCP-195 requires written 
authorisation from no fewer than two Level Four personnel and 
accompaniment by a member of site security. Due to the untested 
possibility of exposure due to the inhalation of evaporated SCP-195, 
access requires full level-C HAZMAT kit including respirator gear. 


It is possible that further instances of SCP-195 exist. All recovery 
agents are advised to make note of bottles of similar style or bearing 
similar labels to contained samples of SCP-195, as well as 
[REDACTED]. Should further instances of SCP-195 be discovered, 
they are to be collected by a temporary containment team in full 
HAZMAT kit including respirators. 


Description: SCP-195 is a "medicinal whiskey" sold by a pair of 
traveling salesmen in the pre-Civil War South. Various historical 
sources agree that the "whiskey" was targeted primarily to the 
slavecatchers of that era, and was advertised as having "mind- 
enhancing" properties. These sources agree that the salesmen were 
often driven out of town when the side effects of their concoction 
were discovered, and were "...hanged for their devilsh ways [sic]" on 
at least two occasions. 


When a subject consumes any quantity of SCP-195, they will initially 
react in a manner consistent with the consumption of an equal 
quantity of "gutrot" whiskey or moonshine. Within a short span of 
time (time frame varies by subject), they begin to experience 
heightened awareness and increased sensory input (taste, touch, 
smell, et cetera). This effect of the "whiskey" was advertised by its 


salesmen and was the reason for its target audience. With this 
heightened sensory capability, however, comes a general decrease 
in impulse control and heightened fight-or-flight response which has, 
in testing, been shown to lead to markedly increased levels of 
violent behavior. This response is theorized to explain the brutality 
shown by [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


D-Class under the effect of SCP-195 were capable of and willing to 
[DATA EXPUNGED)]ing to enjoy the violence of the act. D-183578 
(first-degree murder, rape; terminated) expressed a desire to "rip the 
's head off with my teeth" [sic]. Further testing on the capacities 
of SCP-195 is deemed unnecessary. Late research assistant 
Renfield has been posthumously awarded a Foundation citation for 
performance above and beyond the requirements of duty. 


After the "whiskey's" effects wear off, the test subjects will generally 
return to normal, with the exception of those who [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. Within a month, however, all subjects will experience 
a generalized feeling of ennui coupled with fatigue. MRI scans at 
this stage show development of ulcer-like wounds in the stomach 
and lungs. These continue to spread indefinitely until the death of 
the subject. Additionally, the subject's skin and muscle structure 
begins to degrade, particularly around points of stress or motion. 
This degradation also continues indefinitely or until the death of the 
subject. 


SCP-195 was discovered by the -year-old son of a historian in ‘ 
Alabama, in late 20 . Mr. 's arrest and sentencing for the 
murder of [REDACTED] was an item of minor interest in local news 
in the area. The Foundation became interested in Mr. 's case 
when he was admitted to a hospital, at which point the unusual 
degradation of his skin and organs was noted by Foundation 
informants in the medical community and traced back to an 
antebellum home where he had assisted his father in cataloging 
various items of historical interest. A Foundation team was 
dispatched to the home and located an open case containing 
bottles of SCP-195. 


Addendum: Historical sources' descriptions of the salesmen seem 
to agree that one man was blond and unusually tall while the other 
had dark hair and walked with a stoop. Both men had "...strange 


bright eyes [s/c]" and wore matching . [REDACTED] match 
current Fac[DATA EXPUNGED] remain uncaptured. All personnel 
are reminded that the capture [DATA EXPUNGED)vel six priority.

SCP-196: Time Paradox 


Item #: SCP-196 
Object Class: Euclid/Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-196 must be kept wholly 
ignorant of any information regarding the reason for his containment. 
The subject is to be kept in a two room cell inside Site-17. This cell 
is to be furnished with whatever SCP-196 requests as long as the 
request does not show any obvious likely lethal use and does not 
violate any SCP procedure. Subject must cohabit with at least one 
(1) member of the Site's Level 2 security personnel who must be 
armed exclusively with non-lethal weaponry. Subject is allowed to 
freely wander the installation if accompanied by at least one (1) 
member of Site-17's security personnel. Note that all staff below 
Level 3 have been told he is a Safe class object. SCP-196 has 
agreed to wear a satellite tracking anklet. Subject was told that 
removal of this anklet would result in his death, but this is not 
actually the case. SCP-196 displays no extraordinary physical 
ability, thus probability of escape is negligible. 


Description: SCP-196 appears to be a middle-aged male, under 
two (2) meters tall, of African-American descent. He claims to be 
forty-seven years old. Subject has black hair and brown eyes. There 
is no abnormal physical characteristic. Subject displays all basic 
needs of a normal human being. Subject tested with an 1.Q. of 109, 
well within normal parameters. Subject's psychological examination 
indicated that he suffers from institutionalization and Stockholm 
Syndrome in relation to the Foundation's security staff. SCP-196 
demonstrates no Euclid-type or other abnormal abilities. 


Note: /'ve run the full battery of tests & the exam says that the guy is 
normal. -Dr. 


Addendum 196-01: Those with Level 4 Security Clearance should 
see document #196-01 for information regarding SCP-196's origin 


and subsequent Keter classification. 


== LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE 
REQUIRED == 


Security Clearance Adequate: Access Authorized 
Addendum 196-01: document #196-01 


SCP-196 appeared at : : on / /200 inside of Site- . SCP-196 
claims he was recruited in of 201 through standard class D 
recruitment procedures for testing of SCP- . Subject also claims 
that his younger self is currently living in another location in : 

. Genetic identification checks confirm that SCP-196 has 
encountered Foundation security personnel in the past, in an 
incident at Site-17 on //196 . During that incident, SCP-196 was far 
older and was killed by SCP security personnel during an attempted 
break-in at that facility. SCP-196 was, at that time, not known to the 
Foundation as anything other than a lone human assailant; however, 
he was found to be carrying SCP- and several purely mundane 
weapons. 


While a Euclid class event of this nature would normally result in an 
individual being terminated to prevent any potential for a 
catastrophic paradox, SCP-196's future self is already dead. This 
means that if he were permitted to die, a catastrophic paradox could 
occur damaging or destroying this continuity. SCP-196 must be kept 
alive until he decides to and successfully manages to escape of his 
own accord and somehow travels back to experience his own death 
while carrying SCP- 


Note that because of the potential for paradox, SCP-196 must be 
kept far away from his younger double in ; . Additionally, 
a covert observation team must be permanently attached to 
SCP-196's younger self to protect his life. This dedicated security 
force should otherwise not intervene. Failure to permit the time line 
from unfolding naturally could result in damaging or destroying this 


continuity. For these reasons SCP-196, despite being otherwise 
mundane, must be carefully monitored and has been classified as a 
Euclid/Keter class object.

SCP-197: The Greenhouse 


Item #: SCP-197 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-197 is maintained on site 
by local research team Beta-5 "Green Thumbs." Plants may not be 
removed from SCP-197 without permission from the plant, Dr. 
Kingsley and appropriate documentation. Plants which are removed 
from SCP-197 must be monitored and retrieved if necessary. 


To maintain secrecy, SCP-197 has been emptied and abandoned. 
Under cooperation with local city officials, the building and many 
other nearby structures have been condemned. On site security are 
to check the premises on a weekly basis to physically remove any 
plant material. The use of fire is not recommended unless it is 
necessary to facilitate the total removal of any vegetation found 
within SCP-197. Herbicides are to be applied on a monthly basis to 
discourage any future attempt at growth. 


Description: SCP-197 is a plant nursery and greenhouse located at 
; , . Currently the site is abandoned, although 
previous containment procedures were to maintain the location as a 
nursery. Most of the anomalous properties of SCP-197 are located 
within the glass structure of the greenhouse, although research 
conducted at the time of the site's abandonment suggests that 
SCP-197 has a wide sympathetic influence on the surrounding area, 
which has displayed a level of deterioration equal to SCP-197 itself. 


Organisms within the kingdom Plantae that grow within or are 
introduced to the greenhouse take on additional characteristics, 
including self-awareness, sensory awareness, sapience, and 
capacity for language and mobility, despite a lack of nervous 
system, brain, sensory organs, vocal chords, or musculature. 


Organisms also typically have an increased growth rate and 


elongated life span. Angiosperms that flower only at night or for 
short periods of time will be in a perpetual state of bloom while 
within SCP-197. Organisms removed from SCP-197 cease to 
display anomalous properties but will retain their hardiness and 
overall health. 


Organisms which lose their sapience upon removal from SCP-197 
will regain it upon reintroduction with no change in personality. With 
few exceptions, these organisms do not appear to greatly value their 
sentience and are often eager to leave SCP-197 despite being 
unable to experience the world outside as anything other than a 
typical member of their species. 


All organisms animated by SCP-197 displayed positive personality 
traits and affection for Foundation personnel and other forms of life, 
even carnivorous plants introduced as part of Experiment 197-63 
"Seymour." SCP-197 duty was often used as both a reward and 
therapy for agents and researchers who have concluded a stressful 
assignment or experienced a traumatizing event, as interactions with 
animated organisms were almost universally described as relaxing. 


Under the direction of the late Dr. Kingsley, SCP-197 testing 
involved distribution of organisms cultivated within SCP-197 to the 
public at large. A positive influence upon the poor urban community 
around SCP-197 was noted immediately, with both a reduction in 
crime and an increase to the average standard of living that has 
equally been reversed following the condemnation of SCP-197. Dr. 
Kingsley theorized that this was a result of SCP-197 itself creating a 
cycle of nurturing symbiosis between the community and plant life. 


Addendum: Testing and maintenance of SCP-197 was halted 
following incident 197-a644. Dahila Kingsley's decapitated body was 
found within the greenhouse, her severed head cradled within an 
empty flower pot being held by an ivy that had been present at the 
site since the time of its discovery. Dahila was the daughter of lead 
researcher Dr. Kingsley and a trained botanist who was alone inside 
SCP-197 at the time of her death. This was the first instance of any 
act of violence on the part of organisms raised within SCP-197. The 
ivy plant responsible for the killing compared its action to picking a 
pretty flower and displayed no remorse, although it expressed 
concern over Dr. Kingsley's reaction and well-being. All organisms 


distributed from SCP-197 were retrieved and eradicated, those 
within SCP-197 were eradicated upon removal from the site, with 
the exception of the ivy [DATA EXPUNGED].

SCP-198: Cup of Joe 


Item #: SCP-198 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-198 is located in a secure 
room of Site- with armed guards posted outside to prevent any 
unauthorized access. SCP-198 is to be stored under 24-hour video 
surveillance in a sealed and locked case (0.5 m x 0.5 m x 0.5 m) 
and the key kept in a secured location accessible only to those 
personnel with Level 3 clearance and above. Under no 
circumstances are any Foundation personnel to handle SCP-198. All 
handling of SCP-198 is to be done via remote robotic means or by 
D-class test subjects only. 


In light of Incident 198-A and Incident 198-B, Object Class has been 
elevated to Euclid and Containment Protocol 198 has been 
established. SCP-198’s case must now be kept on a digital scale 
attached to an alarm system with redundant backups for power in its 
secure room. Any deviations in weight will indicate a breach and Site 
Supervisors must immediately enact Containment Protocol 198 
detailed below. 


Description: SCP-198 has taken numerous forms since coming into 
Foundation possession in 19 . Since acquisition, SCP-198 has been 
observed to have had dozens of different forms including a 
Styrofoam cup, brand glass beer bottle, and -_ brand 
aluminum soda cans, an oversized shot glass that read “One 
Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila, Floor’, a plastic water bottle 
with a label partially peeled off, and [DATA EXPUNGED]. These 
forms always appear partially filled with the expected liquid a vessel 
of that type would contain. 


Currently, SCP-198 appears as an ordinary white, porcelain coffee 
mug with blue, vertical stripes evenly spaced around its exterior. 
There are no visible manufacturer markings or otherwise remarkable 


details about its appearance in its current form. The object has 
resisted all attempts at destruction or sampling for further analysis. 
When inactive, SCP-198 can hold the expected 240 mL (8 fl oz) of 
liquid that any standard coffee mug would hold. 


Anomalous behavior does not manifest until a live human being 
grasps SCP-198 to hold it. Approximately 2 - 5 seconds after the 
SCP is held, it will instantly bond itself through unknown, albeit 
painful means to the handler’s hand or hands. Test subjects have 
reported the pain of bonding with SCP-198 as a “searing” or “fiery” 
sensation, though no heat can be detected by outside observers or 
instruments. The use of gloves or other barriers between the object 
and the hand does not prevent the bonding process so long as the 
subject can still grip SCP-198. Extensive testing has revealed that 
the bond appears to be at the molecular level and is permanent until 
the death of its holder. To date, no means have been found to break 
the bond including cutting or severing the fingers or hand of the 
holder as any wounds below the wrist of the test subject heal 
instantaneously. Further proposed testing of the range of healing up 
the handler’s arm is pending approval. 


Once bonded, any liquid inside SCP-198 will disappear and the 
container will inexplicably begin to fill from the bottom-up with a fluid 
or a semi-solid material, stopping only once it reaches the top of the 
container. The liquid or semi-solid is different for each holder, but it 
has to date been a bodily fluid or human excretion in each test 
instance. Such instances have included human saliva, sweat, blood, 
bile, mucus, urine, feces, and [DATA EXPUNGED] as well as 
combinations of two or more of these. 


Once SCP-198 has filled, the holder will undergo rapid dehydration 
and/or emaciation, becoming increasingly malnourished to the point 
of death, which usually occurs within 24 hours if nothing is done to 
prevent it. Ingestion of standard foods, liquids, or |.V.-supplied 
nutrients does nothing to reverse or slow this process. Testing has 
revealed that the only means by which the subject can gain 
nourishment is by consuming the contents of SCP-198; however, 
the constant rate of dehydration and emaciation remains the same, 
forcing the test subject to consume vast quantities of the excretions 
almost constantly to remain alive. As the contents are consumed or 


— as is often the case — dumped out of the container, SCP-198 will 
continue to refill itself automatically. Test subjects have lasted as 
long as 70 hours by consuming the excretions before finally 
succumbing to exhaustion or refusing to consume any more of the 
contents, which invariably leads to death. 


Upon expiration of the handler, the bond with SCP-198 is broken 
and the object can once again be manipulated. In approximately 
75% of test instances, SCP-198 will disappear once the bond is 
broken and reappear almost instantly on a nearby flat surface, 
seemingly with a preference for tables or shelves within the same 
room, and take on a new form. Approximately 90% of these 
reappearances of SCP-198 is within the general vicinity of the now 
deceased handler, but several times the object has been observed 
to reappear in nearby containment rooms, observation rooms, and in 
one case [DATA EXPUNGED]. Due to the catastrophic nature of 
that incident, extreme care is to be taken when in proximity to 
SCP-198’s containment or testing room. Foundation personnel are 
urged not to bring with them any beverages or containers within 
100 m of SCP-198’s containment room even when the object is not 
actively being researched. 


SCP-198 was acquired by the Foundation from an underground 
bunker in , Germany, after the bunker’s accidental discovery by 
construction workers. Reports of strange activity and deaths among 
the construction company regarding this bunker brought the object 
to Foundation attention. Agent , upon responding to the location, 
discovered several deceased and grossly emaciated corpses, both 
recent and some quite old. Unaware of the nature of their deaths or 
the SCP in question, Agent sealed off the area and awaited 
back-up. It was then that the nature of the SCP object revealed itself 
as the Agent mistakenly grabbed what appeared to be an unopened 
bottle of water from a table at the construction site. Backup arrived 
to find an extremely agitated Agent vomiting and struggling to 
remove from his hand a cup full of fresh [DATA EXPUNGED]. Agent 
later self-terminated during location clean-up. 


Incident 198-A: 


Date: - -20 
Location: Site- 


Description: At approximately 2:15 PM, Researcher 
John , who was working in an observation room 
adjacent to SCP-198’s containment room, reached for 
what he thought to be his thermos of iced tea only to 
discover he was firmly bonded to what appeared to be 
SCP-198. Immediately, Researcher notified Site 
Supervisors who, upon inspection of containment room 
198, discovered that SCP-198 was indeed missing from 
its case. At least 3 months had passed since the last 
experiment had been conducted on SCP-198 without 
incident. Researcher was interviewed by Site staff 
and was kept alive by consuming the contents of 
SCP-198 for 31 hours before finally refusing to drink the 
contents any longer. 


Incident 198-B: 


Date: - -20 

Location: Site- 

Description: At approximately 8:00 AM, Security Guard 
Albert stopped to get a cup of coffee from a break 
room later determined to be located three floors 
underneath and two hallways over from SCP-198’s 
containment room. The guard found himself bonded to 
SCP-198 when he attempted to grab a bottle of dairy 
creamer from the break room refrigerator. Once again 
Site Supervisors were notified of a potential containment 
breach and discovered SCP-198’s case to be empty. 
Guard was interviewed and chose to self-terminate 
rather than consume any of the contents of SCP-198. 


Immediately after Incident 198-B, Site Supervisors determined that 
the Object Class should be raised to Euclid and Containment 
Protocol 198 was created to handle future containment breaches. 


Containment Protocol 198: 


Containment Protocol 198 is to be executed immediately 
by Site Supervisors after a containment breach of 
SCP-198 is detected. In the event that the alarm 
attached to SCP-198’s scale is sounded, Site- is to be 


locked down and all personnel are to immediately avoid 
any beverage containers and evacuate the facility until 
SCP-198 can be located and properly secured.

Experiment Log 198-A 


Experiment log of Dr. on SCP-198 testing various 
manifestations of its anomalous properties 


Notes: Testing on SCP-198 is to be done outside of its containment 
room in a secure experimentation room. SCP-198 is to be placed via 
robotic means on a plain table in the center of the otherwise empty 
room. During experimentation, all Foundation personnel are to 
remotely observe either via surveillance camera or adjacent 
observation room behind a secure, plexiglass window. At no time 
should any Foundation personnel enter the experimentation room 
while experiments are being conducted. Armed guards and clean-up 
crews will be posted outside the experimentation room and will not 
enter until the test subject has expired. 


Experiment 198-A-1 


Date: - - 

Procedure: Object is observed to have the form of a small glass of 
water. Class D personnel instructed to enter room and touch 
SCP-198 with his finger, but ordered not to hold or pick up the 
object. 

Results: No bonding takes place and Class D personnel is 
unaffected. 


Experiment 198-A-2 


Date: - - 

Procedure: Same Class D personnel is instructed to pick up 
SCP-198. 

Results: Class D personnel screams in surprise as the bonding 
process takes place. Test subject immediately begins to try and pry 
SCP-198 from his hand. Test subject ordered to calm down and 
describe the contents of SCP-198: 


Dr. : Please describe the contents of the object in 


your hand. 


Test Subject: What the is going on?! | can’t get it off! 
[Liquid is seen spilling from SCP-198 as the test subject 
flails around.] 


Dr. : Yes, we are aware of the situation. Please calm 
down and describe the contents of the object in your 
hand. 


[D Class personnel is seen to cautiously sniff the 
contents of SCP-198.] 


Test Subject: Is that ?! Oh god, that’s disgusting, man! 
[Test subject stumbles slightly and falls to one knee at 
this point.] Doc? | don’t feel so good, man. 


Dr. : Please describe what you’re feeling right now. 


Test Subject: I... | feel weak. Tired. Thirsty, too. What’s 
going on? Can | get some water, man? 


Dr. : I'm sorry, | cannot do that. But perhaps the 
contents in your hand...? 

Test Subject: Are you kidding me, man?! No 
way! 

Dr. : Suit yourself. 


Approximately 2 hours into the experiment, the test subject is 
observed to curse loudly before gulping down the contents of 
SCP-198. Test subject periodically drinks from SCP-198 until finally 
succumbing to exhaustion and expiring 29 hours into the 
experiment. Subsequent autopsy determines the contents of the test 
subject's stomach to be mostly human urine. DNA profile on the 
urine came back inconclusive and with no known match in our 
database. Upon death of the test subject, SCP-198 unbonded, 
disappeared, and returned to the table in the form of a large, half- 
filled plastic pitcher of what appears to be ice and lemonade. 


Experiment 198-A-3 


Date: - - 


Procedure: Class D personnel instructed to enter room and don 
surgical gloves placed on the table next to SCP-198. Once the test 
subject is wearing the gloves, subject is instructed to pick up 
SCP-198 (still in lemonade pitcher form) and pour herself a glass. 
Results: Test subject is observed to use both hands to lift the 
pitcher to pour a drink. Once again, Class D personnel shouts in 
surprise as the bonding process takes place despite the gloves and 
appears to have both hands bonded to SCP-198. Test subject is 
highly agitated and clearly in pain. 


Test Subject: Ow! Owowow! It burned me! 


Dr. : It would appear that both of your hands are 
stuck to the container. Is that the case? 


Test Subject: Yeah! Does it look like I'm not stuck?! [Test 
subject is visibly straining to pull her hands apart from 
SCP-198.] 


Dr. : Can you remove your hands from the gloves? 


Test Subject: No! They're stuck to this damn thing, t—! 
[Test subject pauses mid-sentence and stares at the 
pitcher in her hands. Seconds later, test subject is seen 
vomiting violently and falling to her knees. A brownish, 
semi-solid mass spills onto the floor from SCP-198.] 


Dr. : Can you please describe the contents of the 
pitcher, please? 


Test Subject: ! ! |! 


Test subject continued vomiting for approximately ten minutes 
before collapsing to the floor. Test subject became uncooperative at 
this point and would not respond to the researcher's requests. 
Security guards are instructed to enter the experimentation room 
and terminate test subject. Testing concluded that the substance in 
question was human feces. Again, the DNA profile of the substance 
was inconclusive and matchless in our database. Upon death of the 
test subject, SCP-198 unbonded and remained in its lemonade 
pitcher form, once again half-filled with what appeared to be 


lemonade and ice but did not teleport back to the table surface. 


SCP-199: Ferns 


Item #: SCP-199 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-199 is to be contained in a 
twenty meter cubical chamber with artificial light suitable for plant 
growth. Instances of SCP-199-2 are to be captured by Class D 
personnel wearing Level A / Type 1 Hazmat suits with SCBA before 
ripening. Instances of SCP-199-2 are to be placed in a one cubic 
meter sealed plexiglass container with ten liters of potting soil until 
ripened and the spores are released. Once spores are released, the 
plexiglass container is to be vented with the resultant slime either 
harvested or neutralized. New growth is to be brought into 
containment with other instances of SCP-199. 


Description: SCP-199 is a unknown fern of the Hymenophyllaceae 
family, related to filmy ferns but far more tolerant of changes in 
temperature and humidity. The rhizomes of the plants are hardy and 
can attach and grow on most any solid surface, even within 
chimneys and on smooth walls. The rhizomes and roots of the plant 
appear similar to thallose liverworts, but the fronds are entirely 
unique to the plant. The fronds form into bladders approximately 

10 cm in diameter, and will inflate with hydrogen and drift away from 
the main plant. 


The bladders, designated SCP-199-2, will float in the air and ripen 
over several days while the bladder absorbs energy through 
photosynthesis. During this time the spores carried by SCP-199-2 
will mature, and the bladder's contents will congeal to protect the 
spores in a single cell reminiscent of a plasmodial slime mold. 


When ripe, SCP-199-2 will pop, expelling its contents and releasing 
the slimes in an area approximately ten meters wide. The area will 
be spattered with the slime, which will immediately immobilize 
invertebrates and small animals, and cause neurological damage to 


larger animals similar to exposure to V-Series nerve agents. Slime 
that does not land on a source of nutrients will move slowly toward 
anything digestible nearby, similar to an amoeba. The slime then 
begins to break down all organic material with rapid efficiency, with 
symptoms similar to necrotizing fasciitis in larger animals, and 
smaller animals reduced to paste within an hour. The spores will be 
nourished by the resultant compost, and the cycle will continue. 


SCP-199 is strongly resistant to most defoliants, and seems to thrive 
in polluted environments. However, due to the plant using an unique 
catalytic process to separate out hydrogen gas from water, SCP-199 
reacts to fire explosively, and can be controlled through careful 
burning. Uncontrolled burning can result in collateral damage as well 
as premature release of the slime. Personnel charged with 
defoliation should wear body armor beneath fire-resistant Level A / 
Type 1 Hazmat suits. Foundation medical personnel should be 
ready to administer butyrylcholinesterase and atropine to affected 
agents as soon as possible, with immediate termination being the 
alternative if unavailable. Survivors are to have the affected areas 
debrided and a two week regiment of intravenous antibiotic therapy. 
Serious wounds that resist treatment may require amputation or 
euthanasia under extreme circumstances. 


All casualties shall be disposed of by incineration within four hours 
of exposure, unless overridden by O5 orders. 


Addendum 199-a: SCP-199 was first discovered in the 

Province of the People's Republic of China, where several instances 
were seen growing within the chimneys of manufacturing plants, 
steel mills, and coal-fired power plants. Several deaths due to 
unknown pollutants caused local investigators to look into the 
matter, which led to the Foundation being contacted. 


Addendum 199-b: As an alternate means of control, several 
species of insects were introduced to SCP-199. In every case the 
insects died soon after exposure to either the plant or upon 
attempting to eat the flesh. The precursors of the slime act as a very 
effective pesticide, and research on how to safely harvest those 
precursors remain ongoing for neutralization of plant or arthropod 
SCPs. 


Addendum 199-c: Recent intelligence suggests involvement by the 
Chaos Insurgency concerning either the manufacture or distribution 
of SCP-199. Evidence points to an artificial origin, and the use of 
SCP-199 as a weapon of eco-terrorism by unknown agencies 
appears likely.

Articles 200-299 


SCP-200: Chrysalis 


Item #: SCP-200 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-200 requires a temperate, 
secure environment, large enough to house the 1.68 x 2 m bed 
frame it is affixed to. The room should be equipped with a large 
viewing window such that SCP-200 may be observed with minimal 
disturbance. In fact, when not being directly tested, SCP-200 should 
be left undisturbed. Particular care should be taken when collecting 
samples to avoid compromising the delicate outer shell of SCP-200. 


An automated mister should be set up to apply a fine mist to 
SCP-200 once a day. If SCP-200 appears to be drying out, an 
additional mist can be applied, but care should be taken not to allow 
it to become too moist. 


Due to the uncertain nature of SCP-200, the door to its containment 
area should be kept locked at all times and direct interaction is 
restricted to Clearance Level 2 staff as a precaution. 


Description: SCP-200 is contained within a chrysalis measuring 
172.4 cm in length from stem to tip, attached to a standard queen 
size bed frame and mattress. The chrysalis is a mottled brown in 
color, and analysis shows it to consist of several layers of silk, 
woven in such a way as to be coarse to the touch. The silk layers 
appear to be held together by [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


SCP-200 itself was last seen as a 13-year-old Caucasian male, 
measured at 152 cm in height and weighing 168.73 kg. It retreated 
into its chrysalis on / /20 , and researchers have been unable to 
explain how the child produced the silk to construct its encasement. 
Ultrasound tests have been unable to detect any solids within the 
chrysalis. However, fluid samples extracted from within reveal 
human DNA matching that of the child in question. It appears that 


the child has [DATA EXPUNGED]. Samples of the [DATA 
EXPUNGED] used to bind the chrysalis are also a DNA match for 
SCP-200. 


SCP-200 lies dormant a majority of the time, although it may be 
observed twitching occasionally, particularly if it is startled by 
sudden contact or a loud noise. However, in its current state it poses 
no threat. 


Notes: SCP-200 was retrievedfrom , ,USAon / /20 , 
approximately 28 hours after chrysalis presented. According to 
medical records, SCP-200 followed a normal pattern of human 
development until age 12. At this point, the child began to display a 
voracious appetite and rapidly gained weight over the course of the 
following year. Dr. , alocal pediatrician, was unable to identify 
a cause for the abrupt change in metabolism. 


The child’s mother, concerned about his weight gain, attempted to 
restrict his diet. SCP-200 escaped into the surrounding woods. 
When authorities located the boy 72 hours later, he had doubled his 
weight on a diet of [DATA EXPUNGED]. After being returned home, 
SCP-200 developed its chrysalis. 


Following retrieval, Class A Amnestics were administered to the 
child’s mother, Dr. , and local authorities. Local community 
was led to believe that [DATA EXPUNGED] to prevent concern 
about the boy’s whereabouts and well being. 


Addendum 200-01: According to the most recent testing, 

SCP-200’s DNA has been displaying a number of mutations. While 
ultrasound tests still reveal no solids, Dr. hypothesizes that the 
child may be developing into [DATA EXPUNGED]. This hypothesis 
remains controversial and requires further testing and observation. 


In light of these developments, request to reclassify SCP-200 under 
Euclid has been approved, and 24/7 observation shifts are being 
implemented to watch for SCP-200’s emergence.

SCP-201: The Empty World 


Item #: SCP-201 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: No personnel are to come 
within forty meters of SCP-201 at any time. Any and all work done 
with SCP-201 is to be performed via remotely controlled drone. Any 
personnel entering the containment area must be accompanied by 
two members of security. All personnel in containment area must 
wear a restraint harness with safety rope attached to the wall. Rope 
will allow access to within three meters of the minimum safe area. 
Exceeding this distance will result in physical removal from 
containment area and formal discipline. 


Those affected by SCP-201 are to have time and date of exposure, 
disappearance, and return, along with any and all personal 
information, recorded in Log . Subjects who reappear are to be 
recovered as soon as possible by Agents and debriefed 
immediately. 


Description: SCP-201 appears to be a very old piece of medical 
equipment, superficially resembling an IV stand, but with many other 
glass and metal items attached to it. SCP-201 stands 1.8 m (6 ft) tall 
and has a mass of 36.5 kg (80 lbs). The metal portions are made of 
steel and brass, and various parts are connected with rubber tubing. 
The two “IV bags” are porcelain and are open at the top. SCP-201 
was recovered in Hospital, in a long-unused storage area. 
No record of SCP-201 appears anywhere in hospital records. 


Entering within thirty meters of SCP-201 can result in the subject 
being displaced into an alternate reality. This effect is apparently 
random, with some subjects remaining totally unaffected after 
exposure to SCP-201. Those affected will cease to exist in our 
reality between one and forty-eight hours after initial exposure. 
Durations of displacement vary between a few hours and upwards of 


eight years. Time spent in this alternate reality can vary greatly from 
actual time elapsed in our reality. 


This alternate world appears identical to our own, with these 
exceptions: 


¢ It is apparently in a state of constant twilight, with no sun or 
moon visible at any time. 

¢ Large banks of very dense grey fog travel very low to the 
ground. These fog banks are unaffected by wind, and can 
make exposed skin feel very sticky and dirty. 

¢ There is no plant or animal life anywhere. All places of human 
habitation, including major cities, appear as if all life suddenly 
vanished in the same instant. 

¢ Most, if not all, electrical systems appear to be broken or 

without power. 

The air will randomly take on a grey-brown tint, accompanied 

by strong wind. 


Subjects displaced to this “alternate world” report initial surprise and 
curiosity, which are shortly replaced with very strong feelings of 
loneliness and fear. The severity varies widely with individual 
subjects and with time of displacement. Upon the end of 
displacement, subject will re-integrate from this “alternate world” to 
our own, which can cause a great deal of shock, especially in urban 
settings. Most subjects who remain displaced for more than three 
months suffer lasting psychological damage consistent with being 
sequestered within solitary confinement. 


Submit Level 4/201 Login Credentials 


In addition, reports of intermittent, fragmentary 
broadcasts have been returned by subjects attempting to 
repair power to media devices such as televisions and 
radios. It is unclear if these are real or the product of the 
degraded mental states of those remaining long enough 
to complete said projects, but reports consistently 
resemble automated messages prepared by the 
Foundation in contingency for XK-Class Scenarios. 
Testing will commence if viable samples can be 
recovered.

SCP-202: The Rewind Man 


Item #: SCP-202 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Research is being conducted 
on SCP-202 at Bio-Research Area-12. Here, researchers are 
actively seeking to understand and cure the condition plaguing 
SCP-202. He is granted full amenities of Level-O personnel quarters 
when not being examined. SCP-202 is under the assumption that he 
is in a hospital and is not to be made aware that his ‘doctors’ are in 
fact SCP researchers. 


Description: SCP-202 is an Asian-British male, 41 years of age, 
who performs all actions in reverse. He does not appear to age in 
reverse, but speaks, eats, walks, and performs all other actions 
opposite to what is considered normal. SCP-202 speaks in reverse 
English with a British accent. Recording his speech and playing it 
backwards at a 1:1 speed allows for normal communication. The 
subject asserts that he was a normal individual living in Stockport, 
England, until he woke up one morning four years ago and found 
that every action he attempted to do, he did in reverse. He pledges 
that no matter how hard he tries, he is unable to carry out normal 
patterns of motion. He also claims to be unable to explain how he is 
able to walk backwards through crowded halls without bumping into 
others or other inexplicable acts. 


Watching SCP-202 is particularly frustrating to Foundation biologists 
and physicists. Rather than acting as a pump, the chambers of his 
heart act as vacuums, pulling his blood towards the heart in arteries 
and pushing it away in veins. SCP-202 actually exhales oxygen and 
processes carbon dioxide. Researchers are fervently seeking 
answers to how his respiratory system works and if, on the 
molecular level, the Krebs Cycle of metabolism could possibly run in 
reverse. His 'eating' habits confound researchers as well, as food 
comes up from his stomach and out his mouth, and undergoes a 


reverse chew. For example, when ‘eating’ a sandwich, SCP-202 
somehow regurgitates a bolus of food that reverse chews into a 
portion of sandwich. Boluses are added from SCP-202 into a 
complete sandwich that defies laws of both physics and biology. The 
resulting sandwich is completely normal and edible according to 
research. SCP-202 claims that he isn't aware of what he's going to 
‘eat' until it starts coming. As for 'waste’, when SCP-202 needs to 
[DATA EXPUNGED, SEE ADDENDUM). 


SCP-202 does not think in reverse and cannot foresee the future, as 
some personnel believe. He is rather good at Rubik's Cubes and 
enjoys dismantling jig-saw puzzles. 


Addendum: Direct Order from Commander [EXPUNGED]: 
"We're not having any more discussion about what happens when 
two oh two goes to the bathroom! | think we can all paint a pretty 
picture of what goes on in there. The damn scientists can't explain 
where it comes from and neither can the plumbers, so let's just 
leave it at that! The poor man has enough problems, give him the 
courtesy of a little privacy. Until the quacks can come up fora 
reason to study it, | want all data on the topic expunged!"

SCP-203: Tortured Iron Soul 


Item #: SCP-203 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-203 is to be kept in 
Storage Bunker 3-A at Research Facility while powered down. 
Two D-Class personnel equipped with sound filtration equipment are 
required to guard Bunker 3-A in case of accidental activation of 
defense mechanism. While active, SCP-203 is to be accompanied 
by an armed escort to any testing procedures. 


Description: SCP-203 appears to at one time have been a 
Caucasian human male of indeterminate age. Subject is two anda 
half (2.5) meters tall (though it is theorized that the “skeletal” 
framework augments subject’s original height, as indicated by 
irregular musculature) and weighs approximately two-hundred (200) 
kilograms. 


The subject’s entire skeletal structure has been removed and 
replaced with a mechanical framework made of cast iron that seems 
to move on its own volition. This framework appears to be the sole 
cause of SCP-203’s ambulation, independent of its musculature. 
Several areas of skin on the subject’s body have split, revealing a 
section of the subcutaneous metal framework’. In addition to these 
areas, some parts of the metal structure seem have been made to 
intentionally protrude from the flesh, seeming to form an aesthetic 
pattern2. The augmentations to the subject's body include, but are 
not limited to: 


¢ The fingers have been extended into sharpened barbs approx. 
one (1) meter long. 

* The lips have been removed, revealing that SCP-203 lacks a 
jawbone, suggesting that the skull is a single, hollow piece. 
Remaining oral tissue has been tied into the ‘skull’ with 
several hook-like protrusions. In place of the mouth, a small, 


audio transducer-like grate has been welded. This augment 

produces basic vocalizations through an unknown 

mechanism. 

The vertebrae have been replaced with a segmented iron bar, 

which has several sharp barbs haphazardly welded to it. 

« The legs have two added joints (making them appear 

functionally digitigrade) with steel tubes of an unknown 

function protruding from them, executing and tying into the 
back. 

The ribcage lacks a sternum, causing the skin to pull inward 

with contraction of the subject's diaphragm. 

* Ears removed, remaining skin stapled togethers. 

[EXPUNGED] removed. 

* All toes removed, replaced with a solid piece of iron, vaguely 
resembling the metal insert of a 'steel toe' boot. The heels are 
augmented with similar metal inserts. 

* Eyes have been retained, but are held in the forward-facing 
position by several needles protruding from the eye socket. 
Irises seem to be permanently dilated and not photoreactive. 


While lacking vocal cords, SCP-203 can communicate verbally 
through the transducer located on its faceplate. It appears to 
understand English to an extent, but its primary language appears to 
be a previously unknown Arabic dialect. SCP-203 has no 
recollection of a life before its augmentations, only that it feels near- 
constant pain and confusion. 


SCP-203 appears to run on an internal power cell that runs for a 72- 
hour period, after which the subject enters into a state of hibernation 
that lasts between 3 and 4 hours. Subject cannot deliberately 
deactivate this power source, though it has expressed that these 
periods of “sleep” are the only escape it has from its otherwise 
miserable existence. As there is no current way of ascertaining the 
truthfulness of the subject's statements, any expression of pain or 
depression by the subject is to be viewed by staff as a method of 
eliciting a sympathetic response, and are to be dismissed. 


X-rays, CT, ultrasound, and all other forms of diagnostic imagery 
have proven incapable of penetrating the internal workings of 
SCP-203 deeper than the subcutaneous level, and exploratory 


surgery activates a secondary defense mechanism that 
[REDACTED]. 


It has recently come to light that SCP-203 has the ability to emit a 
high-frequency drone, superficially similar to audio feedback, that 
has a severely damaging effect on the human nervous system. 
However, this mechanism is only activated when subject is provoked 
or harmed. For more information regarding this ability, see the 
attached testing log. 


SCP-203 has, on numerous occasions, requested either 
anesthetics, analgesics or on occasion, narcotics. These requests 
are pending approval.

Test Format: 

Subject: 

Presiding Researcher: 
Method of Induction: 

Result: [Time after exposure]: 


Subject: Personnel D-104 

Presiding Researcher: N/A 

Method of Induction: Accidental. SCP-203 is struck by 
D-104 when it refuses to enter storage. When defense 
mechanism activates, D-104 continues his assault, and 
forces SCP-203 into containment. 

Result: 

[1 minute after exposure]: Subject experiences a severe 
headache. 

[15 minutes after exposure]: Subject’s headache 
increases in intensity and his ears begin to bleed. 
SCP-203 continues to screech. (Note: D-171, the other 
guard on duty, is not affected by the sound) 

[20 minutes after exposure]: Subject leaves his post and 
checks himself into infirmary. 

[30 minutes after exposure]: Subject experiences 
seizure. Subject is now bleeding from all extremities. 
[35 minutes after exposure]: Subject begins to yell “shut 
it up” repeatedly, though he is no longer within audible 


range of SCP-203. 

[40 minutes after exposure]: Subject flat lines. Post 
mortem reveals that Subject died of a massive cerebral 
hemorrhage. 


Subject: Personnel D-090 

Presiding Researcher: Dr. 

Method of Induction: Subject is locked in cell with 
SCP-203 while being observed via remote cameras. 
D-090 is equipped with a Taser and is told to use said 
weapon on SCP-203. Subject is reluctant, but complies. 
SCP-203 begins emission of defenses 30 seconds after 
provocation. 

Result: 

[1 minute after exposure]: Subject becomes agitated and 
assaults SCP-203 again. SCP-203 continues emission 
and assumes fetal position. 

[10 minutes after exposure]: Subject begins holding head 
and ears and nose begin to bleed. SCP-203's defense 
mechanism continues. 

[25 minutes after exposure]: Subject experiences 
seizure. SCP-203's defense mechanism appears to 
cease. However, later analysis reveals that the 
frequency of the emitted sound has simply moved 
beyond the human range of hearing. 

[35 minutes after exposure]: Subject begins vomiting 
blood and bleeding from the eyes. 

[40 minutes after exposure]: Subject appears to be dead. 
Emitted sound genuinely ceases. 

[44 minutes after exposure]: SCP-203 stands and moves 
toward the body of subject. SCP-203 then begins to 
surgically remove subject’s skeleton. At this time, 
SCP-203 is removed from cell and put into storage. 
(Note: test seems to indicate that SCP-203’s defense 
mechanism is also a method of producing more 
SCP-203-like entities. Further tests in allowing SCP-203 
to continue this process are being considered.)

Interviewed: SCP-203 
Interviewer: Dr. 
<Begin Log, -- ,3:34PM> 


<Dr. >: | saw you've requested to see the video 
footage from the test last week. 

<203>: Yes. 

<Dr. >: Any particular reason? 

Pause. 

<203>: Eyes do not see, happens beyond. Lost in the 
black, like time of silence, and does not know what they 
do. 

<Dr. >: I’m not sure | understand... you lose

<203>: Yes. 

<Dr. >: And... you wish to know what you did to your 
assailant? 

<203>: After the black, we see only after. Within the

Arabic]. 

<Dr. >: Why do you want to know this? 

203 is silent for several minutes. 

<Dr. >: 203? 

<203>: They think us a thing. They think us something to 
watch. [garbled, sounds like “We are a toy”]. But, even 
with the evil inside me, one talks to us as a man. 

<Dr. >: I'm sorry? 

<203>: You, . You talk to us like we are not metal. You 
call us by name. 

203 makes an unidentified sound; possibly laughter. 
<203>: When nobody hears, you call us by name. You 
call us “Edward”. Like guards say “Edward 
Scissorhands”. 

<Dr. >: [becoming distressed] That would be

Closing statement: Dr. has since been denied 
access to observation of SCP-203.

SCP-204: The Protector 


Item #: SCP-204 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-204-1 and SCP-204-2 are 
to be kept ina 10 m x 10 m fortified holding area in Site- . The 
holding area must be constructed out of armor plated steel and 
heavily-reinforced concrete. The holding area must also be vacuum 
sealed and contained within an outer shell with a higher air pressure 
that must always be maintained with at least 2 PSI over the current 
air pressure in the holding area. At least one full security team must 
be kept on standby at all times. 


It is only during SCP-204-1's scheduled feeding times that D-class 
personnel are allowed to enter for the purposes of maintenance. 
SCP-204-1's typical diet consists of any kind of meat, preferably 
from living subjects. Such subjects will often consist of aggressive 
animals such as wild dogs, bulls, or any other animal that must be 
euthanized due to aggression. However, D-class personnel will also 
suffice if such food sources are unavailable. SCP-204-2's diet 
consists of a regular human diet with no special measures required. 
SCP-204-2 is allowed to make special requests, but any and all 
requests must be given O5 approval. Any personnel caught 
attempting to deliberately provoke SCP-204-2 will be immediately 
terminated. 


Security personnel are required to ignore any and all of SCP-204-2's 
attempts to provoke a response from them unless there is a clear 
and present risk of containment breach. Failure to do so will result in 
harsh administrative punishment. 


When SCP-204-2 is about to turn the age of fourteen, the 
Foundation must initiate Containment Protocol 204. Further details 
may be found in Containment Protocol 204 Requirements. 


In the event of a containment breach, EMP generators must be 
immediately activated in order to keep SCP-204-1 disabled. Once 
EMP generators have been activated, security teams have 
approximately thirty seconds to neutralize SCP-204-2 before 
SCP-204-1 can adapt and reassemble itself. If containment cannot 
be achieved in this time, SCP-204-1 must be contained by 
conventional means. Security teams and agents are authorized to 
use any conventional weaponry at their disposal to contain 
SCP-204-1 and SCP-204-2. If SCP-204-2 is terminated during 
containment, then Containment Protocol 204 must immediately be 
initiated. 


Description: SCP-204-1 is a semi-organic nano-machine colony 
that follows SCP-204-2 as a form of protector. SCP-204-1 spends 
the majority of its time in a dispersed cloud, where it is almost 
impossible to perceive with normal human senses. However, if 
SCP-204-2 is put into danger, or if SCP-204-2 commands it to, 
SCP-204-1 will instantaneously materialize into a solid, physical 
form. The exact shape and nature of this form is subjective, 
depending wholly upon SCP-204-2's view, state of mind, and 
imagination. Despite its variable nature, SCP-204-1 has a number of 
common traits. These include: massive strength, large size, basic 
intelligence, perfect obedience to SCP-204-2, and the ability to 
regenerate itself after consuming living flesh. SCP-204-1 is 
vulnerable to conventional weaponry, and can be temporarily forced 
back into its dispersed state if enough damage is inflicted. 


SCP-204-2 is always a child, ranging from four to fourteen years old. 
Physically, there is nothing outstanding about SCP-204-2 besides its 
ability to call upon SCP-204-1. All incidences of SCP-204-2 have 
common traits. All of them have had a history of abuse and danger, 
with many developing acute mental disorders as a result. This 
makes instances of SCP-204-2 difficult to contain in any traditional 
manner, as great care must be taken to keep them in a stable state. 
It appears that SCP-204-1 is attracted to such children, though why 
or how it finds them is currently unknown. If SCP-204-2 is 
terminated or reaches the age of fourteen, then SCP-204-1 will 
abandon it and find a new child to "imprint" on. As a form of self- 
preservation, if SCP-204-1 cannot find a suitable child, it will 
immediately materialize and go berserk, attacking anything in sight. 


Once SCP-204-1 finds a suitable candidate to protect, it immediately 
"imprints" upon SCP-204-2 and will follow it until SCP-204-2 expires 
or until SCP-204-1 decides to leave of its own accord. At first, 
SCP-204-1 appears benign, protecting SCP-204-2 from overt 
threats. However, through careful study and observation, it has been 
noted that all incidences of SCP-204-2 begin to adopt much more 
aggressive, danger-seeking behavior with little regard for human life. 
It is theorized that SCP-204-1 is able to manipulate SCP-204-2's 
thought processes in order to behave in a fashion that would benefit 
it. It is assumed that since SCP-204-1 requires organic flesh for 
sustenance, it needs SCP-204-2 to be in danger in order to "justify" 
its activation. See Addendum 1 for further details. 


Addendum 1: There have been numerous recorded incidences 
where it is believed SCP-204-1 has been involved. The first such 
recorded incident was when a car was found in a residential street, 
completely torn apart and covered in partially devoured human 
remains. Similar incidents occurred until Agents managed to track 
SCP-204-1 to : where they made contact with the first 
recorded incarnation of SCP-204-2. It took three more attempts and 
numerous casualties before SCP-204-1 and SCP-204-2 were 
successfully contained. Interviews with SCP-204-2 revealed that it 
seemed to feel a need to experience danger, such as standing in 
traffic or provoking hostile responses from others. When questioned 
on its reasons, SCP-204-2 simply replied that SCP-204-1 "allowed 
[it] to”. 


Containment Protocol 204: In order to keep SCP-204-1 
successfully contained, it has been necessary to keep a permanent 
stock of candidates to replace SCP-204-2 in the event that the 
current one is terminated or abandoned. Ideally, all candidates 
should be orphans below the age of ten with a history of abuse. 
However, in times of need, Article XII of Containment Protocol 204 
may be authorized to allow candidates that don't meet specific 
requirements. They will be put under the supervision of "caretakers" 
which will consist of D-class personnel convicted of violent crimes, 
child abuse, and pedophilia with Foundation staff present to prevent 
inadvertent termination of candidates. 1 


If SCP-204-2 successfully reaches the cut-off age of fourteen years 


and SCP-204-1 abandons it, the former SCP-204-2 must undergo a 
rigorous amnestic treatment and a thorough psychological 
examination before being reintegrated into a government foster 
program. If it is deemed that the former SCP-204-2 cannot be 
successfully reintegrated, then the subject must be immediately 
terminated. 


Addendum 2: As of the writing of this report, the Foundation has 
contained thirteen instances of SCP-204-2. Eleven instances 
exhibited the trademark hostile and violent behavior typical among 
all instances of SCP-204-2. However, 2 instances of SCP-204-2 
showed a marked improvement in their mental health and stability 
and had the lowest number of containment breach attempts. It is 
currently unclear what specific factors trigger these differences in 
behavior, as the exact mechanism SCP-204-1 uses to manipulate its 
host is still unknown. 


Addendum 3: Though there is evidence to suggest that SCP-204-1 
may be sentient, or possibly even sapient, all attempts to 
communicate directly with SCP-204-1 have resulted in failure. 
Currently, the only feasible method of communicating with 
SCP-204-1 is to use SCP-204-2 as an intermediary. Unfortunately, 
the violent tendencies and hostile behavior exhibited by nearly all 
instances of SCP-204-2 as well as their questionable mental stability 
make this approach highly unreliable.

1. To date, Article XII has not been enacted in any form.

SCP-205: Shadow Lamps 


Item #: SCP-205 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-205-1 and SCP-205-2 are 
contained within Chamber 52 at Site-23, under regular observation 
via the adjoining observation room. SCP-205-1 and SCP-205-2 are 
to be supplied with power and face the white projection screen on 
the wall opposite the observation window at all times. Chamber 52 
requires monthly maintenance to ensure the continued operation of 
both SCP objects, their power supply and remote activation controls. 
Replacement parts and bulbs are kept on hand in the chamber. 
Maintenance is suspended during the final month of the SCP-205 
cycle, occurring in April and October of each year. Should power to 
Chamber 52 fail it is to remain dark and sealed for a period of thirty 
days before local security enters to re-engage power for continued 
observation and containment. 


During maintenance it is critical that only one of the SCP-205 pair is 
ever turned off at a time. Should both objects lose power or 
otherwise cease normal operation the chamber must be sealed for a 
30 day period before local security may enter to re-engage power 
and retrieve the remains of any personnel lost in the chamber. 


Pending O5 review, testing and observation is to continue before 
SCP-205 is to be moved to permanent storage. 


Description: SCP-205 is a pair of flood lamps used in photography. 
The light emitted by each lamp behaves in a manner unique to 
SCP-205 and passes completely through any surface that is not 
colored white. Once the light contacts a white surface it scatters and 
reflects as normal and loses any unnatural properties. If the light 
continues uninterrupted through any matter, otherwise casting no 
shadow, each lamp will display an unidentified young woman's 
shadow upon any flat white surface, such as the projection screen in 


Chamber 52. Whether or not this shadow corresponds to anyone 
living or dead has yet to be determined, although the shadow 
appears to re-enact a specific series of events leading up to the 
woman's death. 


Even if the lamps are slightly moved, the shadow remains distinct 
and does not lose focus or move along with the one lamp or the 
other. Only one shadow is cast although a physical person standing 
before two lamps would actually cast two shadows. 


When supplied with steady power and maintained, the SCP-205 pair 
will go through a six month cycle that ends on April 30th and 
October 31st of each year. Neither the inclusion of an extra day 
during a Leap Year nor intermittent operation failures change these 
dates, thus SCP-205's cycle appears to be tied to the standard 
calendar rather than a set passage of time. 


SCP-205 will shut off at midnight on the final day of each cycle. Any 
persons entering or already inside Chamber 52 when the lamps are 
both turned off are violently assaulted by forces unseen in a manner 
consistent with the fate suffered by the shadow woman, regardless 
of any other light sources in the room. 


If the lamps are shut off at the end of a standard six month cycle 
they can be remotely activated to immediately end the danger and 
begin a new cycle. If the lamps cease operating for any other reason 
Chamber 52 will remain dangerous and must remain sealed for at 
least thirty days regardless of the status of SCP-205 itself. During a 
dangerous phase any equipment in the room is often ransacked, but 
although SCP-205 itself has sometimes been moved the lamps are 
never damaged. 


On two occasions [DATA EXPUNGED] were carved into the walls. 
This strongly implies that [DATA EXPUNGED] displaying an 
awareness of current containment procedures. 


Overview of SCP-205's cycle: For the first month of operation, 
SCP-205 will display a still image of one woman in a provocative 
pose. Although variances have been noted in the pose and clothing 
of the woman, the individual displayed appears to be distinct and 
consistent through all cycles. During the last week of the first month, 


the shadow will begin to move slightly as if the individual is shifting 
her weight or becoming uncomfortable. Her hair and clothing will be 
observed to flutter in ways that do not correspond to any movement 
of the atmosphere within Chamber 52. By the end of the first 
calendar month the shadow will break her pose and spend the next 
eight hours moving through a series of poses that imply a 
photography session complete with clothing changes and short 
breaks, sometimes including a meal. 


After this session is over the shadow will constantly be in motion for 
the next five months, displaying a pantomime of the last days of a 
young model's life before she is brutally murdered at the end of the 
cycle. The shadow of the woman never moves beyond the 
boundaries of the projection screen. The shadows of objects that the 
woman appears to be interacting with do not appear unless they are 
being picked up or carried, and with the exception of the final month 
of the cycle any other individuals that the shadow appears to be 
interacting with are not seen. 


Although the cycle is slightly different each time certain 
consistencies are observed. The individual portrayed appears to 
have taken up photography as a hobby in addition to being a fashion 
model. Her behavior implies a great deal of social interaction 
although with a lack of intimacy and behavior that indicates living 
alone rather than with family or a partner. One implied sexual 
encounter with an unseen partner occurs in the second or third 
month of the cycle and exactly sixty six explicit sexual encounters 
occur in the final month of the cycle. 


During the last month of the cycle in April and October, shadows 
distinct from the young woman are displayed. These shadows all 
have exaggerated nude male physiques and horns projecting from 
the cranium although no phallus is ever observed, even during the 
sexual displays that take up the final days of the cycle. Only one 
shadow appears at first, interacting with the woman in a manner 
suggesting that they have met at a party or social gathering. The 
woman does not appear to notice the unusual nature of the other 
shadow and plays out a series of varying romantic interactions with 
it. The horned shadow will return to dine with the woman, engage in 
silent conversations and accompany her on outings. One recurring 


event involves the horned shadow introducing the woman to at least 
two other identical horned figures. After the second week of the 
month the woman will take photographs of one or more of the 
horned shadows during one of their outings, always with a non- 
digital camera that has been consistent through all observed 
viewings of the SCP-205 cycle. After this event explicit sexual 
encounters will begin between the woman and one of the figures, 
increasing in intensity and frequency until the end of the third week. 


During the final week of the month the woman appears to develop 
the film in her camera for the first time since photographing the 
horned shadow(s). Her reaction to the photographs is one of shock 
and horror, and her movements afterward suggest that she attempts 
to flee and seek shelter behind a locked door, presumably in her 
home. There she is encountered by multiple instances of the horned 
shadow figure which assault her repeatedly for the remainder of the 
week. It is strongly implied that she is killed during this process 
although the assaults will continue until the end of the cycle. 


On the last day of the cycle one of the horned shadows begins to 
grow larger in a manner suggesting that the figure casting it is 
approaching the SCP-205 lamps directly. It will eventually overcast 
all other shadows and at this time both lamps will be physically 
turned off regardless of any modifications made to prevent a halt in 
operation. 


Recovered from camera found with SCP-205-2. Origin unknown. 


Addendum: SCP-205-1 has been in the Foundation's possession 


since - - ;SCP-205-2 is identical in every way, including the 
serial number. It was discovered in a ransacked motel roomin_—, 
on - -_ .Nosign of the identity or whereabouts of the occupant 


have been found, although a camera similar to the one displayed in 
the sixth month of the SCP-205 cycle was also recovered. Most of 
the contained film was ruined by exposure; see attached photo for 
the one image that was developed from the camera. 


Incident 205-76b: On 10-28- , SCP-205-2's bulb burnt out. 
Researcher M. N was sent in to Chamber 52 to replace the 
bulb during one of the climactic assaults. Upon the opening of 


Chamber 52's door, all horned shadow figures within view ceased 
their activity and turned towards the door. Researcher N 

resealed the chamber and refused to enter to perform maintenance. 
Shadow figures did not resume their usual activity for approximately 
three hours. 


Incident 205-77a: On 4-28-  , SCP-205-2's bulb exploded. Shadow 
figures all ceased activity and looked towards the chamber door. No 
staff were dispatched to replace the bulb, Chamber 52 sealed and 
abandoned for 30 days according to procedure.

SCP-206: The Voyager 


Item #: SCP-206 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-206 is currently unable 
to be secured, an information suppression plan has been put into 
effect to conceal its existence. Frequencies known to be used by 
SCP-206 are to be monitored, and all images relayed to Earth via 
other probes or satellites deleted from non-Foundation assets after 
they have been retrieved. Technology and astronomy websites, 
journals and periodicals are to be monitored for discussion of the 
rover or the receipt of unusual photographs (see Document 206- 
AA12 for complete list). Persons who become aware of the 
existence of SCP-206 are to be administered amnestics. 


UPDATE - 30/11/20 : As orbital observation of SCP-206 has proven 
possible, agents within satellite and aerial imaging organizations are 
directed to keep watch for instances of SCP-206, and remove the 
images concerned. Deployment of ‘image corruption’ cover story 
suggested. 


Description: SCP-206 is a Martian exploratory rover (Designation - 
Invictus) launched on 12/08/20 as part of a joint Russian Space 
Research Institute / European Space Agency effort. (Exact object 
specifications are listed in Document 206-AA1.) Despite a 
successful launch aboard a Soyuz-FG rocket, telemetry data was 
lost on 16/01/20 , roughly halfway to Mars. Attempts to re-establish 
communication failed, and on 10/02/20 the craft was declared lost. 


On 08/06/20 (a day after /nvictus was planned to arrive on the 
Martian surface) a connection was established with ESA flight 
control on the rover's assigned frequency. Before terminating at the 
source, 38 photographs were transmitted, appearing to show views 
of the expected landing zone in the Victoria Crater. Three days later, 
a further batch of 11 images was received, showing a drastically 


different location (later determined to be in the Cydonia Mensae, 
roughly 2500km due south). 


The Foundation was informed of the incidents by operatives at the 
ESA shortly thereafter, and moved to investigate. Containment 
procedures were instituted on 21/06/20 , when ESA Control 
received a batch of 5 images showing panoramic views of the 
Martian surface, apparently taken from its satellite Deimos. How the 
rover (which, as designed, is rated at maximum speed of 90m per 
hour on flat ground) traveled between these locations is currently 
unknown. 


SCP-206 contacts Earth sporadically, utilizing its original channel, 
[DATA REDACTED]. Once a connection is established, it uploads a 
number of images in varying formats. Pictures received do not 
always correspond to the hardware originally installed on Invictus, 
though the signature and session initiation packets match those 
programmed. 


Tracking stations have received atotal of images. A large 
number of these images (roughly 38%) appear to have been taken 
on Earth, or worlds similar to it (differing in some detail). The 
remaining photographs seem to have been taken on, or in the region 
of, various celestial bodies, only a small percentage of which are 
currently identified. Periods between transmission vary considerably; 
the shortest registered to date is 26 hours, the longest 511 hours. 


Despite visual confirmation of the existence of something 
resembling the rover (see Addendum 206-1) no trace of it has been 
found in the received images, even when the scene includes a 
reflective surface. Further, a number of photographs show locations 
exceedingly difficult, if not impossible for a rover the size and shape 
of Invictus to access. 


Addendum 206-01: At the time containment procedures were 
instituted, it was unknown whether the transmissions originated from 
the probe itself, or if an unknown entity had simply co-opted the 
frequency and was impersonating the rover. 


However, on 13/08/20 , SCP-206 transmitted a photograph of what 
was identified as a portion of a Lunar Ranging Retro Reflector. 


Nearby orbital assets were re-tasked to survey the relevant regions, 
revealing tracks closely resembling those a rover the size and shape 
of Invictus could be expected to leave. On 30/11/20 Japanese 
lunar orbiter SELENE captured the vehicle itself during a camera 
calibration session over the Copernicus Crater. Four hours later, 
SCP-206 uploaded a new image showing a view of the same region. 
Since then, SCP-206 has been captured by several satellites in 
various locales - see Sighting Log SCP-206. 


Addendum 206-02: Though SCP-206 generally uses [DATA 
REDACTED], on at least 5 occasions images have been transmitted 
to (or via) civilian or military space assets. No connection between 
the image sets in question has been found. See Incident Log 
SCP-206 for more details.

SCP-207: Cola Bottles 


Item #: SCP-207 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-207 is to be stored ina 
waterproofed locking metal container measuring 1 m x 0.5 m x 


0.5 m. The key is to be issued to the current head researcher of 
Site- 's bio-containment area. SCP-207 is to be retained inside this 
area at all times, and all personnel entering the area should be 
checked for any food or drink items, in addition to any other 
searches required. Any staff seen ingesting SCP-207-1 are to be 
retained for future study, with all Foundation clearance levels 
removed. 


All vending machines in Site- are to only dispense clear carbonated 
beverages; any variation from transparent is to be investigated 
immediately. 


Description: SCP-207 refers to a crate containing 24 Coca-Cola 
brand cola drinks. The bottles are designated SCP-207-A to -X. 
SCP-207-B is currently the active bottle for testing, and no other 
bottles are to be opened without authorisation from two Level 4 
researchers. All bottles have been clearly labelled to aid 
identification. The liquid held inside these has been confirmed to be 
identical across all of SCP-207, and should not be ingested outside 
of supervised testing. The liquid has been classified as SCP-207-1, 
and is to be treated as a Class 2 chemical hazard. SCP-207-1 does 
not appear to alter with age; however, the active testing bottle 
should have its protective cover kept on outside of removing liquid 
for testing. 


Mass spectroscopy and chemical tests have shown higher than 
usual concentrations of caffeine and sugars (both natural and 
artificial), along with [REDACTED]. The practical effect of this is 
when a subject drinks SCP-207-1, they will effectively no longer 
require sleep or rest, nor attempt to sleep or rest. This effect is not 
lessened by any soporific or medication yet tested on test subjects. 
However, only a quantity larger than five (5) millilitres will cause this 
effect. The reason for this lower boundary existing has not been 
found, although it is hypothesised by Dr.C —_ that [REDACTED]. As 
such, unless authorised by two Level 3 researchers, only five (5) 
millilitres of SCP-207-1 is to be used for testing. Amounts higher 
than this have shown no difference in effect, with the exception of 
the Subject SCP-207 was recovered from (See addendum). 


In addition to removing the need for rest, SCP-207-1 also causes an 
increase in motor, reaction, and psychological functions. The 


increase is linear in progression, with an estimated 50% increase 
(measured by standard medical protocols, +/-5%) every 6 hours. 
The practical application of ingestion is that the subject is able to 
think, react, and move faster than others who have not ingested 
SCP-207-1. Mental proficiencies show the IQ of the subject to rise in 
line with other increases. 


However, SCP-207-1 does not alter the body of affected subjects. 
Physiology remains unchanged, and as such, can rarely support the 
increase in activity. No subjects have lasted longer than 48 hours 
during testing, with the cause of death varying from massive internal 
organ failure to exsanguination due to major artery ruptures. 
Subjects also begin to show stress after roughly 24 hours, usually 
making each movement extremely carefully, in order to avoid 
accidents. Tests SCP-207-Alpha and -Rho have shown that after 
approximately 24 hours, the increases caused by SCP-207-1 mean 
subjects can easily underestimate their speed. Most specifically, in 
test SCP-207-Rho, the subject was able to escape the containment 
area, despite a five (5) metre wall. However, this caused the test 
subject's internal bone structure [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Addendum: SCP-207 was recovered from College, after 
reports of student moving from failing grades in all areas 
(including physical sports) to top percentile marks, and record- 
breaking performances in physical areas. Agent , embedded in 
the local police force, brought in for interview. Subject 
revealed the existence of SCP-207 during the interview; however, 
escape attempt while Class A Amnestics were being administered 
resulted in the subject violently [DATA EXPUNGED]. Cause of 
death: organ failure due to massive internal hemorrhage. As 
SCP-207-A was empty on recovery, it is believed ingesting a full 
bottle [REDACTED]. 


SCP-207 recovered from subject's home, SCP-207-A already 
empty. reported to local police force as missing person; no 
further cause for surveillance of College required at this time.

SCP-208: "Bes" 


Item #: SCP-208 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to his docile manner, 
minimum containment procedures are to be applied to SCP-208. 
SCP-208 is to be housed in a 10 m x 10 m room decorated in 
traditional Egyptian style, furnished with a single couch and a stereo 
system stocked with music of North African origin of any era. 


Surveillance is to be maintained during all movement outside of 
containment. SCP-208 is approved to operate at Site-17’s medical 
wing. 


Description: SCP-208 appears to be a short, stout man of Egyptian 
heritage, possessing a great deal of hair over much of his body. 
Along his brow is a mane similar to a lion's in shape and color, 
which grows down to a significant beard. SCP-208 typically wears 
an Egyptian tunic, similar to that of typical Old Kingdom military, 
although occasionally this is replaced by modern military fatigues. 


SCP-208 is capable of inducing rapid cellular regeneration and 
reconfiguration within organic life forms, which amounts to the ability 
to quickly and effectively heal most physical ailments. This is 
performed by a unique form of electromagnetic radiation released 
from SCP-208’s body, which acts on a wavelength that oscillates 
with four degrees of freedom rather than three. The electromagnetic 
radiation displays unusual pulse phenomena. Furthermore, the 
energy of the radiation decays over distance in a fashion 
incompatible with the inverse-squared model. This radiation is 
emitted from SCP-208 naturally in small doses, and can be released 
in greater amounts when focused. Personnel have noted that being 
near SCP-208 provokes a feeling of wellness and ease, making him 
quite popular with the security staff. This radiation also possesses 
the ability of warding off ill intent, to the point of acting as a physical 
barrier to naturally malicious beings. What causes this is unknown, 
but MRI scanning of Class D personnel taken from death row in the 
presence of SCP-208 detected an unidentifiable pattern of neurons 
firing. This activity coincided with a feeling of extreme unease on 
behalf of the subject, as he tried to flee the secure containment 
chamber. It is speculated that the neural activity activates the acute 
stress response in human subjects, stimulating the “fight-or-flight” 
instinct. What causes it to affect non-human subjects is still 
unknown. 


Despite his appearance, SCP-208 is jovial and friendly to staff, and 
enjoys the company of others. Due to his good behavior and 
willingness to cooperate, SCP-208 has been permitted access to 
most common areas within Site-17. Known to most staff as “Bes”, 
SCP-208 has been adopted as an assistant in the medical wing of 


Site-17, a position he seems to have fit into naturally. SCP-208 is 
also fond of children, and has been noted to be very protective of 
what he considers the innocent. The only thing to inspire aggressive 
behavior from SCP-208 has been snakes, for which he has 
expressed a deep hatred. 


SCP-208 was originally discoveredin _, Egypt, during a search for 
SCP- along the Nile River. While SCP agents began digging into 
sediment in the Nile Delta, Dr. spotted a foot sticking out of the 
river bed. Further excavation revealed that it was connected to a 
great block of granite. Recovered and brought to Sector- , SCP-208 
was exhumed from the stone after surprising a researcher who 
discovered that he was still alive. After examination had been 
concluded, SCP-208 was moved to Site-17 as a Safe class SCP. 


Addendum 208-A: Comparison testing of SCP-500 showed that it 
still serves as a much more effective cure. SCP-208 commented 
that he still tells better jokes.

SCP-209: The Sadist's Tumbler 


Item #: SCP-209 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-209 is to be held ina 
0.5 m x 0.5 m x 0.5 m pressure-sealed storage locker, insulated to 
prevent any potential aroma from release to the surrounding area. 
Access to SCP-209 is limited to a single Class 2 or higher staff 
member for any transport. A standard security detail should 
accompany any transport of SCP-209 at a distance of at least 
twenty-three (23) meters. No more than one (1) human subject of 
any classification should be within the minimum safe distance of 
twenty (20) meters of SCP-209 at any time outside of a research 
trial setting. 


As current hypotheses regarding the function of SCP-209's "active" 
phase indicate enticement to use through olfactory manipulation of 
some kind, any staff assigned to research trial or security detail 
should be equipped with personal air filtration devices rated at 
Foundation standards of at least Euclid-Ill (HEPA filter, oil-resistant). 


Research has approved the use of the prototype modular keycard 
system (SCPassport) for SCP-209's storage locking mechanism. 
The keycard for SCP-209 storage is modified with a proximity alarm 
and deactivation protocol to enforce the single user only 
containment mandate. If more than one (1) human subject is 
detected in the proximity of both the keycard device and lock, a 
Level | containment breach alarm will be sounded and the locking 
system disabled to prevent removal of SCP-209 from its storage 
locker. 


Description: SCP-209 appears to be a single-malt Scotch tumbler, 
10 cm in height and with an 8 cm diameter at its widest point. The 
tumbler shows no manufacturer's marks, but does indicate signs of 
moderate to heavy use and light wear including a small chip missing 


from the rim. When not in the possession of a human subject, the 
tumbler contains approximately 88 to 91 ml (3 0z) of an unknown 
golden-brown, translucent liquid. This liquid cannot be siphoned, 
spilled, drained, evaporated, or otherwise removed from SCP-209 
by any means other than a human subject taking hold of the tumbler 
and consuming the liquid. All Activator subjects debriefed following a 
sampling of the liquid produced by SCP-209 report it to be alcoholic 
in nature and providing of a sense of warmth, self-assurance, and 
general well-being. This effect has proven to be highly addictive, 
with methadone therapy currently holding the highest rates of 
success for detoxification from SCP-209's effects. 


For SCP-209 to enter its active phase, three conditions must be met: 


¢ At least two (2) human subjects must be within twenty (20) 
meters of SCP-209. 

¢ At least one (1) of the human subjects must have a normal 
functioning sense of smell and detect SCP-209's aroma. 
Anosmic test subjects have been unable to initiate the active 
phase. 

¢ The subject who first detected the odor of SCP-209 must take 
possession of the tumbler and consume any amount of the 
liquid within it (hereafter "Activator subject"). 


Once these conditions are met, SCP-209 enters its active phase. 
The Activator subject will immediately seek a relaxing or comfortable 
position in which to finish the liquid in SCP-209 at a leisurely pace. 
Any other human subject within twenty (20) meters of the Activator 
subject (hereafter "Prey subject") will be locked into two distinct 
physical parameters for the duration of the active phase: 


¢ Prey subjects will be physically incapable of moving more than 
twenty (20) meters away from the Activator once ingestion has 
begun. 

¢ Prey subjects will be physically incapable of moving closer 
than one (1) meter to the Activator once ingestion has begun. 


All current attempts at moving any Prey subject beyond these 
boundaries while living have met with failure. Any human subject 
entering the twenty (20) meter sphere of SCP-209's influence after 
the Activator and Prey subjects have been established are not 


affected. 


Any descriptive word or phrase used in reference to SCP-209 by the 
Activator subject during the active phase will physically reflect upon 
the Prey subject in a variety of ways. See experiment logs 209-6.2 
through 209-33.8 for details. Activator subjects seem aware of both 
the boundary restrictions imposed on Prey subjects as well as the 
physical effect of their descriptive language, but no matter the scale 
of physical harm or distress inflicted upon Prey subjects, Activator 
subjects seem to retain a light, anused demeanor. It is theorized 
that the effects SCP-209 inflicts on Prey subjects is intended as a 
form of entertainment for the Activator subject to enjoy while 
experiencing SCP-209's intoxicating effects. 


When the Activator subject has consumed all the liquid within 
SCP-209, both boundary parameters are nullified. If still capable of 
motion, former Prey subjects can and do flee the area with as much 
speed as possible. The Activator subject will immediately become 
confused by the now-empty SCP-209 and attempt to refill it with any 
available liquid. If the Activator is successful in filling SCP-209 with 
approximately 88 to 91 ml (3 oz) of any liquid, it will transmute into 
another glass of golden-brown, translucent alcohol and the cycle 
begins again provided there is another potential Prey subject in 
range. If Prey subjects or others disable or remove SCP-209 from 
the Activator before they are able to "refill" it, SCP-209 will exit the 
active phase and remain empty and inert for approximately seventy- 
nine (79) hours before refilling itself by unknown means to 
potentially begin a new active phase. 


Addendum: Experiment Log 209-18.4 


Three (3) Class-D subjects appropriated for testing. 25 m x 25 m x 
6 m room furnished with a single steel folding chair and SCP-209. 
Activator subject designated "D-Act", Prey subjects designated "D- 
Prey 1", "D-Prey 2". Log begins 122 seconds following D-Act 
ingestion of SCP-209. 


122 seconds: D-Act seats himself in the single chair provided in the 
room. D-Prey 1 approaches D-Act. D-Prey 2 begins exploring the 
room's boundaries. 


188 seconds: D-Prey 1 discovers the inner boundary and is unable 
to approach D-Act. 


194 seconds: D-Prey 2 discovers the outer boundary and is unable 
to reach the eastern wall. 


227 seconds: D-Prey 1 begins shouting obscenities and attempts to 
strike D-Act. No effect. D-Prey 2 attempts to "map" the outer 
boundary. 


255 seconds: D-Act describes SCP-209 as "smoky". 


258 seconds: D-Prey 1 begins coughing violently. D-Prey 2 
approaches. 


284 seconds: D-Prey 1 collapses, wracked with violent coughs. An 
unknown black smoke-like gas is expelled from his mouth with each 
cough. D-Prey 2 attempts to approach D-Act. 


299 seconds: D-Act describes SCP-209 as "smooth". 


302 seconds: D-Prey 2 appears to begin sweating profusely. D- 
Prey 1 continues coughing spasms. Expulsion of smoke-like 
substance continues from mouth, nose, eyes. 


363 seconds: D-Prey 2 exuding a thick layer of a viscous, near- 
frictionless substance from all pores. Substance has eroded clothing 
and apparently the first layer of epidermis. D-Prey 2 is unable to 
remain standing, falls, and attempts to staunch the flow of the 
unknown substance from his pores. D-Prey 1 apparently expired. 
Smoke-like substance continues to vent from mouth, nose, eyes. D- 
Act applauds intermittently. 


484 seconds: Viscous substance exuded from D-Prey 2 has eroded 
two (2) additional layers of skin; wounds approximate to second and 
third-degree burns. D-Prey 2 expresses desire to be terminated. 
Request denied. D-Act appears fixated on the remaining liquid of 
SCP-209. 


522 seconds: D-Prey 2 expires. Substance appears to cease 
exuding from pores. D-Prey 1 ceases to expel smoke-like 
substance. D-Act continues drinking SCP-209. 


948 seconds: D-Act consumes the last of SCP-209. Immediately 
stands and rushes to the body of D-Prey 1, begins clawing at the 
corpse with left hand, while maintaining hold of SCP-209 with the 
right. 


954 seconds: Researchers determine that D-Act is attempting to 
refill SCP-209 with blood from the corpse of D-Prey 1. Per orders, 
one (1) security staff member enters and neutralizes D-Act, 
recovering SCP-209 still in its empty state.

SCP-210: Flooded House 


Item #: SCP-210 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The property containing 
SCP-210 has been designated as Site- . The primary responsibility 
of guards on Site- is to prevent entry by trespassers and maintain 
the cover story detailed in Document 210-01. The servant's quarters 
adjacent to SCP-210 have been deemed safe for human habitation 
and may be used for on-site housing. A remotely controlled vehicle 
is to be sent into SCP-210 on a monthly basis to catalog any 
changes. 


Description: SCP-210 is a two-story mansion flooded to a depth of 
4.35 meters with an unknown fluid substance. The substance, 
designated SCP-210-01, possesses a refractive index nearly 
identical to water. This fluid is invisible from the outside of SCP-210 
and does not flow out of SCP-210 if a door or window is opened. 
Any living creature that comes into contact with SCP-210-01 enters 
a sleep-like state and begins drifting through SCP-210-01 as if 
neutrally buoyant. Beings trapped in this manner are designated 
SCP-210-02; to date, instances of SCP-210-02 have been 
cataloged by remote means. Instances of SCP-210-02 emit a 
constant stream of bubbles as if exhaling despite no source of air 
being identified and subjects appearing to breathe as normal. 
Subjects have been noted to move through SCP-210-01 slowly "as if 
dancing." It has not been determined if this is under the power of the 
subjects or of microcurrents within SCP-210-01. 


SCP-210 came to the attention of the Foundation when an agent 

embedded in the County Police Department received a number 

of related missing persons reports. Mobile Task Force lota-12 

("Damn Feds") was dispatched to intercept the investigations. The 

disappearances were quickly traced to a party held at SCP-210 on 
/ /20 , with several subsequent disappearances resulting from 


persons undergoing private investigations. Two team members were 
lost on initial contact with SCP-210, the first when entering through 
the front door and the second while attempting to recover the first. 
The full documentation of this investigation can be found in 
Document 210-01. 


Addendum 210-01: Attempts to remove SCP-210-02 from 
SCP-210-01 have failed, as instances of SCP-210-02 which reach 
the edge of SCP-210-01 will not travel any further. Instances of 
SCP-210-02 cannot be damaged; this property extends to clothing, 
evidenced by remote attempts to harvest sample material. Furniture 
and other inanimate objects within SCP-210-01 behave as if in 
normal atmospheric conditions, and may be removed from the 
residence. Removed items show no anomalies. 


Addendum 210-02: The remote observation of SCP-210 on / /20 
was unable to locate SCP-210-02-07. 

Note: We have been completely unable to locate SCP-210-02-07 on 
subsequent observations. A request has been placed for tracking 
devices in case of further disappearances. -Researcher B

SCP-211: Paper-Covered Building 


Item #: SCP-211 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Because of the suburban 
location of SCP-211, the surrounding neighborhood has been 
vacated through intentional introduction of pollutive industry and 
redistricting, to promote “NIMBY” sentiment. In addition, the property 
surrounding SCP-211 is currently under Foundation management, 
and an armed guard has been stationed in the buildings. 
Unauthorized personnel entering the area are to be terminated on 
sight. 


A series of explosive charges has been set within SCP-211, and is 
to be examined every days for degradation. Should SCP-211 
become overtly hostile or neutralization is otherwise requested, it is 
to be terminated by detonating these charges simultaneously. 


To avoid inadvertent activation of SCP-211's defense mechanisms, 
extraction of SCP-211-1 should take place at a rate of fewer than 
pages per hour. 


Description: SCP-211 is a two-story building located in an 


abandoned district of , IA. Records from 's archives heavily 
suggest that the building was originally a middle-class dwelling, 
belonging to G S (since deceased of natural cause). 


Since then, all furnishings have disappeared, save standard light 
fixtures and a radiator (pictured above). Note that several of these 
lights' switches have not been discovered, rendering them useless. 
Additionally, the building's topography has been nearly completely 
covered with an estimated , sheets of paper, hereafter 
collectively designated as SCP-211-1. 


Given these facts, SCP-211 itself is in remarkably poor condition. 
Severe mold and grime contamination are threatening to collapse a 


large section of the second floor, and the attempted May 4 
demolition (see Document 211-01) has left a large hole in the south 
wall of the building. 


Recovered sheets of SCP-211-1 may be of various aspect and 
origins: blank, depicting various images, ripped pages from books 
(most often encyclopedias or novels), printouts from the Internet, 
etc. The paper may be of any color; in fact, the above picture is of 
the only hallway in which all sheets are printed on white paper. 
Entire stacks of paper have been discovered in the building's 
basement, whose individual sheets bear little or no relation to each 
other. Their only real identifying characteristic is that individual 
sheets’ edges are unusually sharp, and that should a portion of 
SCP-211-1 be removed, more sheets appear (from unknown origin) 
as replacement. Research is pending, but so far, individually, 
SCP-211-1's constituent parts seem to have little purpose beyond 
[REDACTED: See Addendum 211-01] and defense. 


Document 211-01 


SCP Status for SCP-211 was established after the 
building was condemned and scheduled for demolition 
on 4 May 2_, when the building “attacked” the team 
(hereafter labeled Incident Zero). The following is an 
interview ofE R , one of four survivors, conducted 
by Dr. Spinoza. 


<Begin Log> 
Dr. Spinoza: Please state your name and occupation. 


Interviewee:E R , employed at 
Construction. Well, former employee. Can't exactly do 
my job with one crippled leg, now can |? 


Dr. Spinoza: My sympathies. Please discuss the events 
involving the attempted destruction of [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


R : Well, we - Construction, that is - were 
commissioned to destroy that thing, so we set about 
finding the best way to do it. We pretty much ruled out 


undermining for some reason. Something to do [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. Main thing is management decides to just 
use a couple of bulldozers to level the thing. 


Dr. Spinoza: Was there any action on the part of the 
building before you attempted demolition? 


R : Not really. We went in there, after all, making 
tests and all that. Found the mold, joked about all that 
paper all over the place. Only thing that really happened 
before we started was...yeah, when we were in the 
basement and someone else, | forget who, started 
ripping pages from the wall, just t'check how bad the 
mold was. Big stack of the stuff suddenly drops from the 
ceiling, outta nowhere, on top of the guy, and he gets a 
nice bunch of paper cuts. Thing that got us, though? His 
gear was all cut up as all hell. | mean, clothing, hat, 
glasses, what have you. All nicked up, had a big damn 
gouge in his glasses. Damn good thing he was wearing 
those glasses, | tell you. 


Dr. Spinoza: And then? 


R : Well, we didn't like being in a big house of 
knives, you know, so we got him out of there. Other than 
that, besides, well, you know, and nothing else 
happened. 


Dr. Spinoza: And on May 4? 


R : Well, we had everything set up, and started 
driving a pair of bulldozers toward the house, when all of 
a sudden all that paper on that one wall - outside, right? - 
well, it all just falls off by itself. Now, | should tell you, that 
day there wasn't a breeze in the air at all, so we thought 
that, well, the building's destroyin' itself and stuff, and we 
decide to help it along, and all of a sudden there's a big 
rumble - one you can hear over the bulldozers! - and all 
that paper flies into the air by itself and tears up 
everything in sight! 


[END OF INTERVIEW REDACTED] 
<End Log> 
Document 211-02 


Subsequent to Incident Zero, testing was taken to 
determine the responsiveness of SCP-211. D-Class 
Personnel were issued a video camera and ordered to 
interact with SCP-211 in various ways. 


Video Log 1 

Subject: D-19905 ordered to approach and explore 
SCP-211. 

Result: No response. D-19905 interacted with 
SCP-211-1 without threat. Building map of first floor 
made with camera footage. 


Video Log 2 

Subject: D-19905 ordered to approach and extract a 
sheet of SCP-211-1. 

Result: No response. Page appears to be [REDACTED]. 


Video Log 3 

Subject: D-19905 ordered to approach and extract a pile 
of SCP-211-1 near SCP-211's entrance. 

Result: Before extracting the target, D-19905 hesitates 
and examines a large poster on the wall near it. When 
questioned, D-19905 remarks that it's a painting that he 
made while incarcerated at [REDACTED], and proceeds 
to pick it up without incident. 


When D-19905 picks up the target, a pile of SCP-211-1 
falls over, landing on him. D-19905 emerges, suffering 
lacerations to arms, legs, and face, but manages to 
extract the collection from SCP-211. 


Video Log 4 

Subject: D-19905 ordered to approach SCP-211 and 
explore second floor. 

Result: D-19905 enters building via Incident Zero hole 


without incident. Upon entering contaminated area, 
D-19905 steps on a weakened part of the floor, which 
collapses. D-19905 exits building with a broken leg, 
[REDACTED]. 

Well, at least we know we can destroy it if we need to. - 
Dr. Spinoza 


Video Log 5 

Subject: D- 21938 issued a pack of matches and 
ordered to light a sheet of SCP-211-1 within SCP-211 on 
fire. 

Result: [DATA EXPUNGED]. Remains removed from

Addendum 211-01 

Since collection of SCP-211-1 has begun, several specific books 
have become identified as their origin. Examples of these are as 
follows: 


* A19 copy of Hitler's Mein Kampf, found in Public 
Library. 

¢ A Java Data Structures Book, printed in 19 , discovered ina 

used book store near Site-17. 

[REDACTED], currently stored in the United States Library of 

Congress. 

¢ Three printouts of Japanese broadcasts decoded during the 
MAGIC Cryptanalysis Project in World War Il. 

¢ The drawing in Document-211-02. 

* etc. 


No documents re: the Foundation have been discovered as of yet; 
however, security has been increased as a mild informational 
security threat. 


Addendum 211-02 

Recent unexplained phenomena regarding SCP-211 have provoked 
further study. On 28 March __, three individual sheets of SCP-211-1 
were found in SCP-211's “entrance.” Examination of these sheets 


proved to be Foundation Protocol memoranda addressed to Dr. 
Spinoza, the interviewer of the previously mentionedE R 
Upon questioning, Spinoza (who had been at Site-17 re: another 
project) noted that the notices had disappeared soon after he 
received them, adding that [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Since this date, there have been other data security breaches 
involving SCP-211-1, several of which involve SCP-211 as subject 
material. Upgrade to Euclid status pending.

SCP-212: The Improver 


Item #: SCP-212 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Use of SCP-212 must be 
cleared by the current containment site’s chief medical officer. Any 
subjects undergoing operation by SCP-212 must submit to full 
physical and psychological testing both before and after exposure. 
Resistance to testing will result in termination of subject. 


All personnel are to keep at least 1.5 m (5 ft) from SCP-212 when 
not in operation. Armed personnel are authorized to use whatever 
force deemed necessary to prevent unauthorized exposure. Should 
any personnel accidentally become exposed to SCP-212, full 
quarantine, testing, and judicial review will be initiated as soon as 
the subject is released by SCP-212. 


Description: SCP-212 is a large medical device, with three large 
robotic arms. The arms have an extremely diverse array of 
attachments, but no storage area or power source has yet been 
found. Attachments slide into and out of the arms as needed, with 
over five hundred different attachments documented. SCP-212 is 
made of plastic, steel, and other common materials. In-depth 
analysis is pending, as any attempt by mechanical means causes 
violent action from SCP-212, and attempts by any biological means 
normally results with subject's “improvement”. 


When exposed to living tissue, the “arms” of SCP-212 will rapidly 
move to grab and restrain it. SCP-212 will then begin to “improve” 
said tissue. This process is extremely fast, but SCP-212 does not 
inject any anesthetic, or replace any blood lost. The process has 
been described as “excruciatingly painful’, and can result in the 
death of the subject at a rate of 47%. Wounds made by SCP-212 
are closed with standard surgical sutures and a chemical “sealant” 
that is not yet fully understood. 


Improvements that have been observed include: lining of joints with 
graphite, replacement of biological organs with artificial ones, 
addition of metal plates to bones, addition of new or duplicate 
organs, and replacement of teeth with small serrated steel bands, 
among many others. SCP-212 has been shown to be able to totally 
“re-configure” an organism. The “improvements” appear to be 
random, and can sometimes be detrimental or fatal, as illustrated by 
one subject's complete loss of bone marrow and its replacement by 
a gel that is still under study. 


Subjects wishing to undergo exposure from SCP-212 are to be 
advised that the process is extremely invasive, and that no 
predictions on “improvements” can be made.

SCP-212 Upgrade Log 


Record of exposure to SCP-212 


Attention: Any and all exposure to SCP-212 is to be recorded and 
logged. Unreported exposure to SCP-212 will be met with 
termination. All subjects willingly exposed to SCP-212 must have O5 
Command approvals, as well as that of site medical staff. 


Subject: 

Agent : 28 years old, 64 kg, 183cm tall, African-American 
descent. Submitted request on - -_ , approval granted and 
exposedon - - 


Description of Upgrades: 

Lower jaw bone replaced by super-dense ceramic jaw, teeth 
replaced with blades made of the same material. Spine removed 
and replaced with synthetic polymer. Replacement spine grafted to 
base of skull. Rib cage and pelvis coated with thin layer of ceramic. 
Lungs, eyes, and liver removed and replaced after “cleaning.” 


Subject Status: Active duty. 


Notes: SCP-212 will appear to “clean” some organs or tissues. It will 
run several “attachments” over the tissue, each of which will spray, 
scan, cut, or otherwise interact with the tissue before replacing it. 
When tested, these “cleaned” tissues appear totally free of genetic 
defects, and appear younger than the surrounding tissues. 


Subject: 
Dr. :42 year old, 62kgs, 170 cm, Caucasian (British) descent. 
Submitted request on - -  , approval granted and exposedon - - 


Description of Upgrades: 


Teeth replaced with super-dense ceramic. Feet amputated at the 
ankle, replaced by a thin plastic latticework, with several pads on the 
bottom. These pads are capable of sticking to any solid surface, and 
can carry up to 225kg. Bone marrow removed and replaced with a 
blue gel. Heart, eyes, liver, and kidneys removed and “cleaned.” 
Several metal devices inserted into the brain, for unknown purpose. 


Subject Status: Subject died during the removal of bone marrow. 
“Footpads” removed, and are currently under study. 


Subject: 
"Agent A.A.": [PERSONAL DATA REDACTED]. Suffered severe 
injuries on - - resulting in traumatic amputation of all four limbs 


and removal of spleen, left kidney, right lung, and left eye. Cranial 
trauma caused by shard of circuitry piercing skull and entering left 
frontal lobe of brain. Submitted request on - -_ , approval granted 
and exposedon - - 


Description of Upgrades: 

Contrary to expectations, SCP-212 did not remove the shard of 
metal from subject's brain, instead spending approximately seven 
(7) minutes analyzing the circuitry with a variety of lenses, probes, 
and sensors before apparently determining that the foreign body 
could be left in place. SCP-212 then proceeded to integrate said 
circuitry into subject's frontal lobe more fully, utilizing tracery made 
of room-temperature superconductors. SCP-212 ended by 
administering an unknown chemical that immediately placed the 
subject in a coma, then shut itself down. No attempts were made to 
replace severed limbs or repair damage to bodily organs, aside from 
normal “cleaning.” 


Subject Status: As of - -_, subject remains in a chemically 
induced coma, in stable condition. Foreign circuitry in brain appears 
to be spreading at a geometric rate. Estimate complete replacement 
of biological brain tissue in [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Subject: 
Agent : 34 years old, 112kgs, 176cm, Caucasian (German) 
descent. Submitted request on - -_ , approval granted and 


exposedon - - 


Description of Upgrades: 

Removal of stomach, intestines (large and small), liver and kidneys. 
Organs replaced with two “sacks” of synthetic tissues, attached to 
the esophagus. Esophagus lined with the same tissue. “Sacks” 
produce an acid capable of breaking down steel, and transfer all 
nutrition directly to the blood stream. This process produces no 
waste, and any indigestible matter is expelled up the esophagus and 
out the mouth. Eyes replaced with optic sensor pads capable of 
seeing visible, infrared, and ultraviolet light spectrum. Hands 
removed at the wrist and each replaced with eight metallic 
“tentacles,” each measuring 3.8 cm long. 


Subject Status: Medical leave until - - , to allow adjustment to 
new internal structures. 


Subject: 

D- , 23 years old, 62kg, 178cm, Caucasian (American) descent. 
Previously exposed to SCP-217 and decontaminated once the virus 
had run its course (full mechanical conversion achieved). Approval 
for testing granted on - - 


Description of Upgrades: 
[DATA EXPUNGED] 


Subject Status: Subject escaped containment, overpowering two 
armed personnel and effortlessly bypassing several security 
measures. Subject recaptured after 2 hours, having caused 
casualties and injuries, as well as deactivating [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. Once recaptured, subject requested SCP 
classification (presumably in an attempt to avoid termination). 
Request was denied, and subject was dismantled. Components 
were incinerated following examination and documentation (see file 
[REDACTED)). 


Subject: 
Agent: 25 years old, 93kg, 188 cm, African-American descent. 
Submitted request on - -  , approval granted and exposedon - - 


Description of Upgrades: 

Skin replaced with nanomaterial mesh of thick tubes coated in 
microscopic barbs. Tips of fingers and toes replaced with carbon 
claws, about 8 cm long. Limb bones restructured for quadrupedal 
stance. Heart and lungs replaced by single organ, with a second 
similar organ as backup. Digestive system "cleaned" and shortened 
significantly. Left eye replaced with ultrasound sensor. 


Subject Status: Stable but behaving erratically, contained pending 
psychological analysis. 


Subject: 

Dr. :26 years old, 142kgs, 200cm, multiracial descent. Subject 
was rendered fully blindon - - due to accidental exposure to 
SCP- .Submitted request on - -_ , approval granted and 
exposedon - - 


Description of Upgrades: 

Removal of both eyes, orbits widened to meet and form a single oval 
cavity. Cavity is lined with metallic structures resembling large cilia. 
Amputation of both hands, stumps fused together, and several small 
limbs resembling crab pincers grafted to the forearms in no apparent 
pattern. Teeth removed for "cleaning", teeth with fillings discarded, 
remainder replaced. 


Subject Status: Deceased. Subject had begun undergoing medical 
imaging when he began to suffer extreme pain, describing the 
sensation as "It tastes all wrong". The cilia-like structures then 
reshaped into sharp points and extended rapidly in length, many 
piercing the subject's brain. The gripper limbs continued 
independent movement for several hours, until subject was 
incinerated. 


Subject: 

D-5354: 22 years old, multiracial descent. Subject was scheduled for 
disciplinary termination and had consumed a "last meal" consisting 
of seafood. Subject was already deceased when exposed to 


SCP-212. 


Description of Upgrades: 

After spending four (4) minutes analyzing and probing subject, 
SCP-212 dissected subject, carefully removing the stomach and 
intestinal tract. Stomach was then opened and a bioluminescent 
lobster-like organism was constructed from its contents. 


Subject Status: After removing and altering subject's stomach 
contents as described above, rest of subject's remains were 
discarded. 


Subject: 

Mummy of Intef Il, pharaoh of the Eleventh Dynasty of Egypt (c. 
2063 BCE). The mummy had been collected during a research 
expedition by the Foundation's predecessor entity in the early 19th 
century. 


Description of Upgrades: 

SCP-212 spent twenty-five (25) minutes analyzing subject, then 
ceased activity without having altered subject. Following this, Dr. 
Morrison directed that the four canopic jars that were collected from 
Intef II's tomb also be placed in the containment chamber. SCP-212 
then re-activated and used a scalpel and a heating tool to make 
minor alterations to four amulets in the mummy's wrappings, before 
again ceasing activity. 


Subject Status: Apparently unchanged, except that the aggregate 
mass of the subject appears to have decreased slightly. 


SCP-213: Anti-Matter Parasite 


Item #: SCP-213 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-213 is contained in a high 
security humanoid containment cell within site-77. The chamber 
is to be surrounded by a 10 meter wide zone filled with gaseous 
materials corrosive to human skin. SCP-213 should be informed as 
to the nature of its containment, to prevent manifestation of its effect 
which would result in additional containment breaches. A staffing of 
two guards armed with high pressure hoses, oleoresin capsicum, 
and polymer web grenades should be stationed outside the 
containment unit at all times. 


Description: SCP-213 is an adolescent humanoid male, 1.5 m tall, 
weighing 95 kg. SCP-213 is able to forcefully sever the bonds 
between atoms in any solid or semi-solid matter with physical 
contact. An intense flash of light is produced when doing so. 
SCP-213 can use any part of its body to manifest this effect, and 
has used it to disintegrate projectiles as they impact its body. 
Manifestation of this effect has proven to be extremely painful, with 
extended use causing enough pain to render SCP-213 unconscious. 


SCP-213 was recovered from Palo Alto, CA, when reports of a 
teenage boy being arrested for homicide after "vaporizing" his 
girlfriend during coitus reached agents embedded in the local police 
department. Further investigation revealed SCP-213's anomalous 
properties. However, during initial containment, SCP-213 vaporized 
the agents attempting to apprehend it. During the ensuing firefight 
with MTF- - , SCP-213 was able to disable 2 agents before being 
contained. SCP-213's containment procedures were finalized on / 
/19 , and classified as Euclid. 


Addendum 213-07: SCP-213 has made its seventh escape 
attempt. After asking for another interview with Dr. , SCP-213 


waited for security personnel to allow her to enter the containment 
chamber. As the majority of the containment procedures were 
disengaged, SCP-213 was able to apply its effect to the remaining 
security measures and breach containment. SCP-213 killed Dr. , 
as well as two agents during the initial stage of its breach. 


SCP-213 had only seen a small portion of the facility and was easily 
apprehended after it encountered heavy resistance from security. 
Breaking through its cell weakened it enough to prevent further 
damage to other containment units. SCP-213 was apprehended in 
the site break room, attempting to break through the floor. However, 
extensive use of its effect left it unable to do so. 


Addendum 213-08: SCP-213 unintentionally breached containment 
on / /20 . Due to the nature of this breach, no consequence has 
been issued. Video feed taken at 3:15 AM from SCP-213's cell show 
its bed and a section of the floor being affected, which caused 
SCP-213 to fall into a basement level. Containment procedures 
have been slated for revision. 


Researchers note 

From study of this video, it is clear that SCP-213's 
control of the effect is not as perfect as it previously 
believed and it has become more cooperative with us in 
trying to establish a method to control and utilize it. 
Vague conjecture on the part of the review staff as to 
possibilities of what would occur should the effect trigger 
accidentally, including SCP-213 self-vaporizing, are 
noted as being particularly useful in this regard. 


Addendum 213-09: 

-07- : During a routine physical examination of SCP-213, lesions 
were discovered on its back, appearing as smooth nodules. 
Presently, there are four nodules, placed at intervals on the subject’s 
back in a perfect square. Distance between all four points is exactly 
15 cm. Medical personnel have been assigned to SCP-213's 
containment in order to observe and rapidly respond to changes in 
this condition. Follow-up examinations have been scheduled. 


-09- :A follow-up examination has led to the discovery of two 
more nodules, located in the center of its palms. SCP-213 reports 


mild irritation, but no pain or discomfort. They resist pressure applied 
with blunt or sharp instruments. During an attempt to excise a 
sample using a scalpel, the scalpel failed to cut and vaporized after 
a few seconds of applied pressure. SCP-213 denies responsibility 
for this occurrence. SCP-213 has become notably more apathetic, 
and has expressed feelings of extreme pain from its back and 
stomach. 


-14- :SCP-213 was moved to intensive care after being observed 
having a seizure in its containment cell. Examination of SCP-213 
shows an additional ten (10) nodules have appeared on its back. A 
perfect distance of 5 cm separates each one. SCP-213 continues to 
report no pain from the lesions. SCP-213 has been assigned 
additional medical observers, who will remain outside its 
containment with the standard guard staff for the next week. 


-23-  : All nodules on SCP-213 have disappeared and been 
replaced with thin incisions slightly less than 1 mm in width. During 
inspection of these new changes, the medical examiner witnessed 
the incision on SCP-213’s left palm open and an eye was observed 
watching her. SCP-213 has been placed in the medical wing 
indefinitely, pending further changes to the subjects condition. 


Addendum 213-10: The source of SCP-213’s effect appears to be a 
parasitic infestation of unknown origin inhabiting its body. This life 
form has not attempted to communicate, but does observe any 
persons in SCP-213's presence through the lesions present on 
SCP-213’s body. SCP-213 has exhibited panic over this 
development and requested several times the entity be removed 
from him. Any requests of this nature from SCP-213 are to be 
denied, pending further research. 


Researcher note 

The organism inhabiting SCP-213 fails to show up on 
any medical scan we have at our disposal. The new 
hypothesis is that this effect actually serves to provide 
sustenance and self-defense, with repeated tests to 
determine the nature of the anomaly has led to increased 
growth. SCP-213 has been placed in a chemically 
induced coma until further research can be conducted 
regarding the nature of this parasite. Containment 


procedures slated for major revision.

SCP-214: Hemotopian Virus 


Blood sample from SCP-21 4. 


Item #: SCP-214 


Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-214 is to be contained ina 
4 by 4 meter quarantine cell suitable for long term human habitation 
within Bio-Research Area-12. It is to be considered an etiological 
agent of a level four biohazard. Level four biohazard containment 
requires clean rooms, pre- and post-entry decontamination showers, 
and a vacuum antechamber. All air and water sources to SCP-214's 
containment area are to be isolated from the rest of the area. All 
employees entering SCP-214's containment area must wear 
hazmat-suits with self-contained oxygen supply and supplemental 
cut-resistant liner. The cell shall be under continuous observation 
using remote video surveillance. SCP-214 is to be considered a 
danger to itself and others and shall not be allowed to possess 
potentially dangerous utensils. Due to SCP-214's distinct perception 
of pain, guards shall not cause physical injury to it except under the 
direction of Level 2 staff. 


Beyond the above procedures, all personnel intending to interact 
with SCP-214 are to undergo psychological evaluation. Any 
employees with prior history of depression are not permitted to 
interact with it. Regular sessions of psychological observation are to 
occur post-research on all participants. Any personnel exhibiting two 
or more of the following symptoms during observation are to be 
quarantined immediately in identical containment to SCP-214: 


* self-harming behaviors 

* blunted affect 

glossolalia 

logorrhea 

* compulsive lying 

* silvery discharge from mucus membranes or wounds 
obsessive-compulsive behaviors, particularly in writing or 
speech 


Research staff is heavily encouraged to read Log-214 and 
Interview-214 before conducting experiments, as a precautionary 
measure. 


Description: SCP-214 is male, age_, formerly Agent of the 
Foundation. Physical and mental changes were noted after 
investigation of Incident at Public Library, MA. Containment of 
SCP-214 is detailed in [REDACTED]. A physical examination of 
SCP-214 shows the replacement of most bodily fluids, including but 
not limited to blood, vitreous humor, seminal fluid, and cerebrospinal 
fluid, with a mercury-like substance. Chemical analysis shows that 
the substance is a suspension of complex organometallic 
compounds in a protein- and lipid-enriched serum, but so far, 
nothing more can be ascertained of its origins or purpose. Most 
bodily functions were observed to no longer be active in SCP-214, 
though the related organs still exist in a preserved state within the 
body cavity. This includes the brain, which no longer shows activity 
on electroencephalography. It shows notable selective regenerative 
properties, some injuries vanishing within moments of infliction while 
others remain unhealed, even after a period of time in which a 
normal human would have recovered. SCP-214 does not experience 
pain normally, instead reacting to it as pleasure with no regard to 
physical damage to its body. Objects have been noted to disappear 


in the vicinity of SCP-214. There is currently no known method of 
recovering lost items. 


Addendum 214a Excerpts of Agent __ 's diary relating to becoming 
SCP-214 have been transcribed to Log-214 


Addendum 214b Logs of interview with SCP-214 have been 
transcribed to Interview-214 


Addendum 214c Researcher has been detained after showing 
symptoms identical in nature to SCP-214 at the conclusion of L214.

Personal Log of: Agent 
Date: 04-05- 


| got my latest assignment. Apparently there's reports of cult activity 
centered around a public library in . Shipping out tomorrow to 
investigate, along with the rest of Lambda-7. There's major concern 
about it being a part of Church of the Broken God given that the 
location contains a large museum of machinery. Hate dealing with 
them, the crazy machine god thing gives me more creeps than rest 
of the shit here. Most of them only kill your body. 


Date: 04-09- 


Initial recon's back on the building. Nothing anomalous so far with 
ninety percent of the building mapped. Only thing left is the 
periodicals wing, that seems to be closed for renovations. Seems 
like people go into there quite a bit after dark, but the door's always 
locked and the architect that designed this place seems to have a 
personal vendetta against windows. Nothing wrong with spikes 
though, this place has spikes on every surface they could think of. 
Team's going to shadow one of them in tomorrow and see what's 
going on inside. 

Note: Between this log and the next, the entirety of Lambda-7 
vanished without a trace, along with the reported cultists. 


Date: 04-11- 


Pages upon pages flitter through my mind, breeze born motion 
revealing in the saturation of information. Coalesced and indexed to 
perfection, safely stored. The Library approves of the new 
acquisitions to its collection, filling her walls evermore with the 
distilled essence of being, for all to borrow but never keep. 
Subsuming the identity, enrobing oneself in another for a time for the 
goals for the plans and partly realized dreams. Emulating the flesh 
and its frailties, its ichors and impulses as a marionette on string 


dancing its jerky frivolity. 
Date: 04-12- 9:32AM 


Awake again. Not sure how long I've slept on the way back to 
[REDACTED]. Read previous log, | think | might have been sleep 
deprived. It doesn't make any sense. Cult's gone. Team's gone. 
Writing after action report. Attempted to erase previous log but can't 
see the button to do that. Compromised. The word keeps echoing in 
my head. | think I've been compromised. Cut myself shaving this 
morning and bled quicksilver into the sink. The sensation of the 
blade cutting into my skin felt like a lover's caress. It's my duty to self 
terminate. I've been compromised. Once the report's done, I'll do 
that. Still have my side arm. 


12:04 PM 


Tension, build up, trembling finger, burnt cordite taste, the flash, the 
burst, the romance of lead entangling bone and fat, followed by 
orgiastic release. 


Date: 04-13- 


Awake again. Bullet didn't do anything. No recollection since | pulled 
the trigger. | was in the bathroom, now I'm in bed. There's hotel and 
medical staff uniforms laying around but no people, no remains, no 
sign of a struggle and not a drop of blood. Tried to call my superiors 
to warn them that I'm coming but my fingers keep missing the 
numbers. All | can do is write in here. Something makes me think 
that they want this to be found, just too late. Still bleeding out of the 
back of my head. Something feels right about that and the warm 
sensation running down is delightful.

Interview-214 


Interviewed: SCP-214 

Interviewer: Researcher 

Foreword: Initial interview to ascertain the origin of SCP-214 
<Begin Log> 


Researcher : I'd like you to tell me again about what happened 
at the library. 


SCP-214: Library, home sweet home. Have you been to the 
periodicals section? Such a lovely place, glittering with the dewy 
webs of knowledge strewn across the indexes. 


Researcher : Home? Do you mean like a metaphysical home, 
or did you actually plan to live there? We show your address of 
record as [REDACTED]. 


SCP-214: I've always been there. I'm still there. Home is where the 
Library is, after all. And this is my home now, isn't it? So this is the 
Library now. It'll be a fine one too, once | get everything organized. 


Researcher : What do you remember of before the library? Do 
you remember your name? Do you remember why you were sent to 
the library? 


SCP-214: Oh, my name is SCP-214, isn't it? Filed and stored away 
with so many other texts. | greatly admire your work. You hold so 
many beautiful things here. 


Researcher : That's your designation, yes. Do you remember 
what it was? 


SCP-214: Designation, a distinguishing name. Yes. | know it. Do 
you remember what yours is? 


Researcher : Of course, it's , but I'm not the one answering 
the questions here. Do you remember what happened at the library 
between when you arrived and you were found? 


SCP-214: Are you sure? Because you told me it was Alicia before. 
Some times, people lose themselves and | wouldn't want that to 
happen to you. It's for your own good that you know yourself. What 
happened? What always happens in a Library. Knowledge was 
exchanged. 


Researcher : Alicia? What, no. You're attempting to change the 
subject. What knowledges were exchanged in the library? With 
whom? Reports suggested people inside engaging in some kind of 
synchronized ritual, but when we showed up, you were the only one 
there. What happened to the rest of the people, 214? 


SCP-214: | already told you. Knowledge was exchanged. Everything 
is information, to be stored and sorted. Compressed, if need be. 


Researcher : Stored where? There were no traces of any other 
individuals inside that building when the recovery team arrived, but 
you were covered in [long pause] the unknown sample. 


SCP-214: Oh Alicia, you do have such a limited view of things here. 
You ask the wrong questions. You already know where. They're in 
the Library. They never left. 


Researcher : My name isn't... we did a thorough search of the 
library. You were the only one inside. We didn't even pick up DNA 
traces; someone or something had swept it clean. Tell me what 
happened in the library. What happened to those seventeen people, 
T... 214? 


SCP-214: You keep confusing the map for the territory Alicia. It is a 
bad habit. They've been indexed in the Library, stored, numbered 
and sorted. 


Researcher : You... you don't mean the building, do you? When 
you talk about the Library? 


SCP-214: You do good work here. We work at complimentary 


purposes. To secure, protect and contain. To organize, quantify and 
enlighten. You are so bright, Alicia. Just a few more steps now. 


Researcher : Can you... can you show me the Library? 
SCP-214: Of course | can. 
<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Researcher was found after the interview 
inside SCP-214's enclosure, leaking silvery fluid from [REDACTED]. 


SCP-215: Paranoia-Inducing Spectacles 


Item #: SCP-215 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-215 presents no threat 
unless worn, and so shall be kept in Dr. Naamdi's office until studies 
are concluded. SCP-215 is to be kept in its case when not in use, so 
as to prevent scratches to the lenses. 


Description: SCP-215 is a pair of prescription glasses designed to 
correct myopic vision. When worn, SCP-215 induces a belief in the 
wearer that inanimate objects are sentient and capable of 
communication with the wearer. The severity of this delusion varies 
from wearer to wearer, but generally strengthens over time if 
SCP-215 is worn regularly, and in the worst cases manifests as a 
severe case of obsessive-compulsive disorder, culminating in an 
irrational fear of all machines. 


There is no definite "safe" amount of time to wear SCP-215; while 
the onset of delusions generally takes at least twenty-four (24) 
hours, a great deal depends on the psychological disposition of the 
wearer before SCP-215 is put on, and persons who already have 
some varieties of obsessive-compulsive, synesthesiac, or 
technophiliac disorders have been known to begin suffering 
SCP-215's effects less than an hour after donning it. 


Removing SCP-215 does not remove the delusion, although normal 
methods of therapy have proven to be effective in less severe cases 
so long as SCP-215 is not put on again; a full recovery can turn to a 
full relapse in less than a day by the return of SCP-215. By the end 
of the second week, wearers tend to violently resist any attempt to 
separate them from SCP-215. 


Case Study 215-99983-D 
99983-D displayed a typical progression of SCP-215-related 


symptoms. The subject had no record of mental illness before the 
commencement of the test. 


Week 1, Day 1: 99983-D is given a temporary position as a research 
assistant to Dr. Naamdi and is issued SCP-215 to replace a pair of 
his own spectacles that were destroyed by Foundation personnel. 
Subject complained that SCP-215 didn't match his old prescription, 
and stated that he was suffering from blurry vision and headaches 
by the end of the day. 


Week 1, Day 3: Subject stopped complaining of blurred vision and 
began referring to SCP-215 as "Steve." Subject stated that "Steve 
and | get along alright; it's not exactly a match made in heaven, but 
we get by." Subject did not assign names or personalities to any 
object besides SCP-215. 


Week 1, Day 6: Subject began to assign personalities to complex 
electrical and mechanical devices that he regularly interacted with, 
including the computer that he logged data entries in, the breakroom 
coffee machine, refrigerator, microwave, and a PDA he was issued 
by Dr. Naamdi. Most interactions involved complaining about the 
general uncooperative behavior of these devices. 


Week 2, Day 1: Subject began having prolonged conversations with 
the aforementioned mechanical and electrical devices, giving all of 
them names and sometimes speaking of them in personal terms 
with other Foundation personnel, almost always to the effect that the 
devices were somehow antagonistic. Subject reported that while he 
could not "hear" the machines speaking, their "body language" was 
very clear. 


Week 2, Day 5: Subject began assigning personal qualities to less 
complex objects in his work environment, starting with his office 
supplies. 


Week 2, Day 7: Subject began minimizing interactions with living 
people and talked almost constantly to his inanimate "companions." 
Discussions with staff psychologists indicated a sophisticated web of 
relationships between 99983-D and the objects. 


Week 3, Day 3: Subject had a violent altercation with the breakroom 


microwave after a burrito came out of it underdone. Subject 
reportedly cursed and shouted at the machine before attempting to 
destroy it with a breakroom chair. Subject was restrained and 
subdued, and later apologized for his behavior to the microwave and 
the chair. 


Week 3, Day 6: Subject began personifying set-pieces in his 
environment, referring to floor tiles and ceiling lights as people. 
Subject would stop to thank each inanimate object he interacted with 
(including each individual floor tile) for permitting him to use it. 


Week 4, Day 2: Subject began displaying signs of stress when 
asked to interact with any complex electrical or mechanical 
appliance, claiming that the machines had become hostile and 
threatening. Mechanical failures or faulty performances by any 
machines in 99983-D's presence were interpreted as signs of 
impending rebellion. 


Week 4, Day 3: Subject refused to come to work. His PDA had been 
smashed; 99983-D claimed it was an act of self-defense. After being 
coerced into coming into the office, the subject began screaming 
and showing other signs of acute stress at the sight of his computer, 
which was turned off at the time. He attempted to force his way past 
the security guards at the door and had to be sedated. 


Week 4, Day 5: Subject destroyed his table lamp, alarm clock, 
watch, and ceiling fan. Afterwards, he refused to come out of his 
room. When Foundation personnel forced their way into his cell, 
they found him dead, with severe burns on his hands and arms. He 
is presumed to have been fatally electrocuted while attempting to 
disable an electrical outlet in the room. 


Addendum: | have been asked many times now if SCP-215 
enables the wearer to actually interact with machines in any 
meaningful way differently from how normal people do it, and I'm 
pretty confident the answer is "no." I've done every test | can think 
of, and all the evidence I've seen suggests that the "living" machines 
only exist in the wearer's head. There are things in this Foundation 
that can make what you believe real, but this isn't one of them. -Dr.

SCP-216: The Safe 


Item #: SCP-216 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-216 currently resides in 
Laboratory 5. Access requires Level 2 clearance. Insertion of 
recording devices into SCP-216 is prohibited without O5 approval. 


Description: SCP-216 is a 35.6 cm (14 in) high iron safe with a 
multiple-dial combination lock. The lock has 7 dials each with 
numbers ranging from 0 to 9. The combination cannot be changed 
while the door is open. The weight of the device appears to fluctuate 
in an obtuse manner (see document 88-B). 


The door of SCP-216 can always be opened, but the accessible 
interior space appears to change depending on the currently entered 
combination. Objects placed inside SCP-216 may be accessed by 
re-entering the combination that was configured when the object 
was inserted. Objects retrieved from SCP-216 appear to be 
undamaged by the device. 


It is speculated that every possible lock combination results in a 
different interior, and that there are therefore 10 million available 
compartments. It is unknown how many objects currently reside 
inside SCP-216. 


An engraving found on the bottom of the safe reads "3/4". It has 
been hypothesized that the compartments of SCP-216 are shared 
with three other devices of a similar nature. This hypothesis is 
consistent with the findings reported in document 88-B. 


Document # 88-A: Dr. Initial test log 


- Combination lock set to 6692724 and door opened. Compartment 


appears empty. 

- 1 notebook and pencil placed inside and door closed. 

- Combination lock set to 6692725 and door opened. Compartment 
appears empty. 

- Combination lock re-set to 6692724 and door opened. Notebook 
and pencil retrieved from compartment. 


Note: "SCP-216 appears to be a very efficient storage solution." - Dr 


Document # 88-B: Dr. Test log 
Testing the effect of inserted items on the SCP’s total mass. 


- Total mass of unit before inserting item: 935.877 kg 

- Notebook and pencil (total mass 350 g) inserted into SCP-216 and 
door closed. 

- Total mass of unit after inserting item: 935.965 kg 


Expected mass: 936.227 kg 
Actual mass: 935.965 kg 
Difference: 262 g 


Testing shows that SCP-216 takes on approximately 25% of the 
mass of its contents, suggesting the mass is distributed evenly 
between SCP-216 and the three other hypothesized devices. 


Document # 122-A: Dr. Test log 


Compartments 0000000-0000206 checked for contents. 
Compartment 0000000 found to contain traces of sawdust. 
Compartments 0000001 -0000206 found to be empty. 


Further testing arranged. 


Document # 152-D: Dr. Test log 


Compartments 0000332 - 0000398: Each compartment had a body 
part from , a 28-year-old female who had been reported 


missing on / /20 . Contents removed for identification and then 
incinerated. Liver, spleen, and lungs not recovered. 


Document # 159-B: Dr. Test log 


Compartment 0000409: A live wolverine (Gulo gulo; adult male) with 
a mass of 30 kg. Upon the door being opened, it attacked and killed 
Dr. and mutilated two nearby D-class personnel before being 
shot five times by guards. Autopsy of the wolverine revealed no 
anomalies. 


Subsequent examination of compartment 0000409 has revealed it 
now contains only loose wolverine hair, with residual traces of 
wolverine urine and wolverine anal musk. 


Document # 160-A: Dr. Test log 


Compartment 0000456: A fully loaded Glock 19 handgun with a 
round in the chamber, and one regular flavor Klondike Bar ice cream 
dessert. The ice cream bar was not melted, cold to the touch and 
remained so as long as it was in the compartment. It was removed 
for inspection, and began to melt within 2 minutes. It was placed 
back in the compartment; the door closed for 3 hours, and then 
reopened. The ice cream bar was in the same slightly melted state 
as when it was placed back three hours prior. The ice cream bar 
was removed, placed in a freezer in the nearby 2nd floor cafeteria 
for one hour. After one hour it was placed back into the 
compartment with the handgun and the door closed. 


Document # 161-A: Dr. Test log 
Chamber 0000501, confirmed to be empty, had one (1) standard 
Foundation GPS unit placed inside it. When the chamber was 


sealed, GPS failed. Data from the unit upon retrieval showed that 
the satellite was unable to confirm source location during this time.

On 04/16/ all previously checked compartments were opened with 
the intention of confirming contents. When compartments 0000332 
to 0000398 were opened, individual body parts were found 
corresponding to an unknown male, arranged in the same order as 
found in experiment 152-D, including the liver, spleen and lungs. All 
previous traces of tissue from experiment 152-D, which had not 
been cleaned, were found to have been sterilized from these 
compartments. Pursuant to request for O5 directive, body parts were 
placed back into their compartments. Containment procedures 
currently under review. 


Document # 162-A: Dr. Test log (testing performed by Dr. 
) 


One digital videocamera recorder was set to record and 
placed in compartment 5500000, oriented so as to face outwards 
towards the door. The door was closed and compartment 5500001 
was opened. Compartment 5500001 was found to be empty. The 
door was closed, compartment 5500000 was opened again and the 
videocamera recorder was retrieved. 


Upon viewing the recorded footage, Dr. suffered from a transient 
ischemic attack. 


The recorded footage shows Dr. placing the videocamera inside 
the safe and closing the door. No time passes before the door is re- 
opened and the videocamera is retrieved from the safe. This is 
inconsistent with the scene reported by Dr. 


No audible sound is present on the recorded footage. A subsequent 
analysis of the videocamera revealed that several internal 


components of the camera had been fractured.

SCP-217: The Clockwork Virus 


Item #: SCP-217 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Containment area is to be kept 
behind two reverse-pressure airlocks. Chemical shower sterilization, 
full contained-atmosphere haz-mat suits, and 24-hour post- 
interaction quarantine and testing are mandatory for all personnel 
entering containment area. Should containment be breached, the 
blast door for the containment and research area will seal, and 
chemical agent ZEER-217-11 will be pumped into the air. 


Any humans exposed to SCP-217 are to be contained and held for 
observation. Any items touched by those affected by SCP-217 must 
be sterilized. 


Description: SCP-217 is a virus, incurable by current means, with a 
rate of infectivity at 100%. It affects all organisms in the kingdom 
Animalia, and can be spread via touch or contact with bodily fluid. 
SCP-217 is very hardy, and can survive for years outside the host 
body. The progress of the infection is very slow, with some subjects 
going several years before manifesting any symptoms. 


SCP-217 alters the biochemistry of organic tissue, causing organic 
matter to re-arrange into a form of “organic metal’. The processes 
involved with this change are not yet fully understood, but the 
advanced stages are well documented. A subject will begin to turn 
into a complex arrangement of gears and clockwork, these taking 
over for the former biological functions. Advanced-stage infection is 
reported to be very painful, but earlier stages are oftentimes 
unnoticed, with only vague feelings of confusion, insomnia, and joint 
stiffness. Hearts are replaced by gears and small tubes, joints by 
gear networks, eyes by structures not unlike primitive “hand-crank” 
film cameras, etc. 


SCP-217 shows first on the outside of the body in all creatures 
except mammals. In mammals, it first converts the internal structure 
before manifesting outside the body. This can cause those infected 
to go for very long periods of time without knowing of infection. 
SCP-217 has even been shown to totally convert the inside of the 
body before showing any externally-visible symptoms. SCP-217 has 
infected several major metropolitan areas in the past, most notably 


The mental state of those in middle to advanced stages of infection 
has been shown to be much diminished. Subjects respond in a 
repetitive fashion, are very dull and mechanical in action, are easily 
distracted and confused, and appear generally irritable when faced 
with new problems. In addition, research on a fully “converted” brain 
has [DATA EXPUNGED] 


Document #217-6: Notes on symptoms 


Subjects infected by SCP-217 have, at early stages, reported no 
major symptoms, aside from increased lethargy, and a general lack 
of emotional response. Some have reported a feeling of “fluttering” 
or “moving” under the skin, coupled with a persistent “ticking” noise. 
This noise seems most prominent when SCP-217 infects the 
shoulders, neck, and head; however, it is inaudible if recording 
equipment is pressed against an affected area. 


Initial infection of SCP-217 is, as has been already stated, almost 
undetectable. As the infection advances, subjects will begin to feel 
sharp, “tearing” pain in areas that are being “converted”. It has been 
compared to a knife wound or a deep muscle tear, and can persist 
for hours, or several days, depending on both the subject and the 
area affected. The new clockwork organs appear to tear and rip at 
tissue for a short time, before becoming fully integrated and settling 
into the surrounding tissue, and this is believed to account for the 
pain. 


Areas infected appear to be metal, mainly brass, steel, and iron. 
Other substances have been reported, appearing to be leather, 
rubber, glass, wood, and other basic materials. Despite 
appearances, it is purely organic material, and even carries a 


subject’s DNA. Organs and tissues affected appear more resilient 
than normal, carrying the same strength and density as the 
materials they resemble, instead of normal tissue density. Areas 
damaged repair over time, but is much slower than standard human 
regeneration. 


Damaged areas can be instantly “repaired” by replacing damaged 
areas with new parts of the same type. Testing has shown that there 
are no ill effects if parts made from normal materials (steel, wood, 
leather) replace the existing bio-mechanical clockworks. 


Most alarming, people infected with SCP-217 can continue for 
months, even years, without being detected. With infection so easy 
to spread, hundreds could be affected before proper containment 
could be enforced. Infection appears to spread most quickly in large 
offices, malls, and other large concentrations of people. 


Note: Anything or anyone suspected or confirmed to be infected with 
SCP-217 is NOT to be allowed near SCP-882. 


Addendum: At this time, cross-experimentation between SCP-229 
and SCP-217 is allowed only with O5 approval.

SCP-218: Lamprey-Mass Organism 


Item #: SCP-218 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-218 is contained within a 
standard aquatic specimen tank (saltwater). Tank maintenance is to 
be carried out by remote drone only. No further procedures are 
required. 


Description: SCP-218 is a predatory colonial organism weighing 
approximately 1800 kg, consisting of several hundred parasitic 
lampreys of the family Petromyzontidae, designated Petromyzon 
anomalis. Individual Petromyzon anomalis specimens average 
between 50 and 90 cm in length, and are similar in appearance to 
the common sea lamprey, (Petromyzon marinus) with the primary 
exception of complex ultraviolet-spectrum skin patterning. Individual 
lampreys can break off from the primary mass and move under their 
own power, acting similar to non-anomalous specimens. These 
motile units will remain in the vicinity of SCP-218’s primary body, 
until captured and eaten by colony members. The central mass of 
SCP-218 contains the organism's primary organs, as well as a 
muscular foot for locomotion. SCP-218 is capable of surviving out of 
water for up to an hour, though it is greatly inhibited in mobility. 


Motile units of SCP-218 produce a paralyzing toxin, applied by bite 
or through the lamprey’s mucus sheath. This toxin inhibits locomotor 
muscles and will numb the target to pain — all other internal and 
mental processes will continue unaffected. The paralyzing effect has 
not been observed to dissipate, and no effective counteragent has 
yet been discovered. 


Early observation led researchers to believe that SCP-218 
reproduced through the parasitic implantation of motile units into a 
host body — this behavior has since been determined to be atypical 
feeding behavior, where numerous motile units will burrow within the 


body of still-living prey for upwards of 48 hours before normal 
consumption resumes. 


Addendum-01: Physical examination of SCP-218 shortly after 
containment revealed that the primary mass contained several 
foreign objects preserved within the main body cavity. SCP-218 was 
removed from its containment tank and tranquilized to allow for 
surgery. 


Objects removed from SCP-218 include: 


¢ 33 pearls, averaging 3cm in diameter. Holes bored through 
each indicate that they were previously part of a necklace. 

¢ 1 dolphin figurine carved out of smoothed coral. 

¢ 2 gold bracelets 

¢ 4 bone hair pins 

* 1 tortoiseshell hair comb 

* 1 bone figurine of SCP-218. Shows signs of heavy wear 
through handling. 

¢ 1 human skeleton, being that of a female child estimated to be 

between 4 and 6 years of age. Skeleton was similar to chalk in 

consistency, and embedded with 135 pearls. 

Scapula (believed to be that of a red deer) — engraved with 

three humanoid figures, two adults and one child. Presumed 

to be the subject and parents. 


Both the skeleton and artifacts date to approximately 7500 BCE, 
though do not resemble the artifacts of other Neolithic groups in the 
region of recovery. 


Addendum-02: SCP-218's behavior became significantly more 
agitated after removal of the aforementioned objects: entity would 
repeatedly beat against the walls of its tank or attempt to scale 
them. 


When one of the hair pins was placed back in the containment tank, 
SCP-218 used one of its colony members as a manipulator to 
retrieve the pin, and then place it back inside its central cavity 
through means of a large sphincter. This dorsal sphincter was not 
present until the removal of the body and artifacts.

SCP-219: Resonance Engine 


Item #: SCP-219 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: When not in use, SCP-219 is to 
be kept in a dismantled state. All of SCP-219's parts, as well as 
replacements for those parts, will be stored in the Engineering 
Division warehouse on the grounds of Site-43. SCP-219 is not to be 
tested within twenty-four (24) kilometers of any Foundation facility 
that houses Euclid or Keter-class objects. 


Description: SCP-219 is a mechanical device consisting primarily 
of an array of pistons, driven by an electric motor which can be 
powered by attaching it to a separate generator. The entire machine 
is supported by a thorium alloy frame. The outer frame of each of 
SCP-219's pistons are also made primarily of the same thorium 
alloy. Attached to the outside of SCP-219 is an IBM Desktop PC, 
keyboard, and monitor, all shielded with shock-absorbent foam to 
prevent damage to them by SCP-219's vibrations. 


When SCP-219's computer is turned on, it automatically runs an 
"Earthquake Generator" program. Using the keyboard, a user can 
select up to twenty items from a list of commonly used construction 
materials, including multiple varieties of stone, soil, bricks, concrete, 
steel, iron, [DATA EXPUNGED] and glass. Selecting the "Other" 
option from the bottom of this list brings users to a different screen, 
enabling them to select other substances, including several types of 
wood, plastics, papers, and bone. A user may also choose to 
describe the properties of a material that is not currently on the list, 
name it, and save it to the list for future use. After selecting a given 
material, the user is asked to estimate the objects' mass, volume, 
and select a general shape to describe it. It is not possible to key in 
the composition of SCP-219 into SCP-219; any attempt to do so 
results in the computer displaying an error message and shutting 
down. 


After materials have been selected, the user is asked to specify a 
range of effect, from fifty (50) feet (distances are given in English 
units) to ( ) miles, and set two timers: one to determine how 
long SCP-219 will wait before activating once the program starts 
running, and one to determine how long it will run after it has 
activated. When all criteria have been filled in, the user may select 
"Run" to start SCP-219 or "Start Over" to enter a different set of 
criteria. SCP-219 cannot be shut down once a program begins 
running without being dismantled or damaged. 


When activated, SCP-219's pistons oscillate and begin creating 
vibrations in the air to match the resonant frequency of the materials 
selected by the user. Different sets of pistons create distinct 
resonances. These materials begin to vibrate in turn as they are 
struck by air waves, eventually shattering or otherwise coming apart 
from the strain put on them by the oscillations. The waves created 
by each oscillator do not seem to have any effect on each other 
even when they are traveling through the same media, enabling 
SCP-219 to resonate with many materials simultaneously. Studies of 
how this is possible, or how the effect might be duplicated, have 
been inconclusive. 


SCP-219 was recovered in , California, after an incident in 
which a heavy earthquake hit a city suburb without any prior warning 
from seismic geologists. Eye-witness reports gathered from 
survivors indicated the seismic disturbance had effects similar to 
that of a quake registering at 8.8 on the Richter scale, over a space 
of only 20 kilometers. Examination of the surrounding area showed 
far more subtle structural damage than should be possible for a 
quake of any magnitude, and the bodies of multiple people who died 
of massive internal cranial trauma, including several cases where 
the entire skull had apparently exploded. Foundation Agents found 
SCP-219 in the rubble of a collapsed house, along with some 
packaging materials and spare parts. The house's previous owner 
was one , who was later found dead of a gunshot 
wound to the head in a hotel in Boulder, Colorado. 


Included with the remains of the packaging was a diagram of a large 
funnel-shaped object attached with a complex of tubes to SCP-219, 
and instructions for how this "Resonance Focuser" was intended to 


be used. Its intended purpose, according to these instructions, was 
to channel the resonance-waves generated by SCP-219 on a much 
more linear trajectory, increasing the range of the machine in a 
single direction by %. The instructions suggest several 
applications for this attachment, including a makeshift offensive 
"wave cannon," a tunnel-carving device, and a "Resonant 
Annihilator" function created by turning the Focuser downwards! 
and keying the composition of the Earth's core into SCP-219. The 
search for this missing attachment is still ongoing. 


Addendum: For those who wish to use SCP-219 for demolition 
purposes, note that SCP-219 will work most effectively if it is on 
level, solid ground. Also note that for buildings utilizing an internal 
metal frame for support, SCP-219 is better used to target the frame 
than the materials built around it. If SCP-219 is still running but the 
vibrations appear to have stopped, disconnect the power supply and 
check to see if the oscillators have ground away the surface 
underneath themselves; they may not work properly if the ground 
the machine is set on is also shaking. You may need to move 
SCP-219 to a more durable foundation to ensure that it works 
properly. Consult User Manual 219-01 for more information. -Dr. 
Chung 


Addendum: Despite the obvious similarities to Nikola Tesla’s 
earthquake machine (see SCP-_ - ), SCP-219 clearly must have 
been built atleast years after Tesla's [DATA EXPUNGED]. Given 
what we know about [DATA EXPUNGED] it is most likely that 
whoever built SCP-219 simply took Tesla's designs and expanded 
on them. -Dr. Chung

SCP-220: Two's Company 


Item #: SCP-220 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-220 is housed in an empty 
condominium on property recently acquired by Research Sector-09. 
The subject believes the building to be occupied by other residents, 
and should be allowed to persist in this belief. 


A false bus stop has been installed near the building's entrance; this 
measure has proven sufficient in deterring SCP-220 from wandering 
outside the containment perimeter. SCP-220 exhibits trepidation 
when venturing beyond the building's lobby, most likely due to 
mobility challenges; the subject will sometimes remain seated at the 
bus stop for upwards of one hour, before returning indoors. 


SCP-220's room has been provided with a telephone connected to 
an automated recording service, ostensibly a courtesy of the 
residence; dietary, medical, and recreational needs are to be 
ascertained from these recordings and several live video feeds. New 
requests should be submitted to Dr. Hart for approval or denial. 


In light of Incident 220-P, only D-class subjects are approved for in- 
person contact with SCP-220 and should be immediately 
quarantined after testing, in accordance with Sector-09's Type 2 
Contagion Procedure. 


Description: SCP-220 is a multiracial, English-speaking human 
male, aged 76 years as of 5/15/12. 


SCP-220 presents behaviors symptomatic of dissociative identity 
disorder, alternately referring to himself and behaving as one of two 
distinct identities. It is uncertain whether SCP-220 is affected by a 
psychological disorder or is deliberately playing the role of two 
persons. 


In SCP-220's public and private behavior, the identity of "Ormond 
Garibaldi" alternates with that of "Ollie G "(a name which 
corresponds with the subject's birth certificate). Any individual who 
interacts with SCP-220 in person will be fully convinced that these 
identities are two separate persons. 


Two variations of this phenomenon have been observed: 


¢ SCP-220 presents as "Ollie" or "Ormond" and refers to the 
other persona as a friend or relative. In this case, even when 
they have been previously informed of SCP-220's condition, 
test subjects unhesitatingly accept SCP-220's statements as 
fact. 


¢ SCP-220 presents as "Ollie" or "Ormond" and switches 
identities during the course of the conversation. The 
differences between these two personas are not drastic, but 
recordings demonstrate that the switch is always 
accompanied by a marked change in posture, tone of voice 
and rhythm of speech, and personality. Nevertheless, 
SCP-220's conversation partner will not perceive a change, 
but react as if one individual has left the room and a second 
entered in their place. In rare cases, test subjects will behave 
as if they are conversing with both "Ollie" and "Ormond" at the 
same time. 


Despite the anomalous nature of these conversations, test subjects 
never exhibit fear or distress during or when asked to recall time 
spent with SCP-220. 


The effects of SCP-220 are irreversible, regardless of whether an 
individual is informed of SCP-220's nature before and/or after the in- 
person test. Within 4-6 hours of contact with SCP-220, affected 
individuals will begin to display signs of slight disorientation — 
forgetting their purpose in entering a room or the subject of a 
conversation. 


This disorientation gives way to a permanent state of identity 
confusion: affected individuals will begin to perceive every person 
they come into contact with as two distinct individuals. The afflicted 
will address a single person either as if they are speaking to two 


people at once, or alternating between two distinct conversations. 
The majority of affected subjects perceive one of these illusory 
identities as a close friend or relative, regardless of appearances or 
whether their conversational partner is a stranger or acquaintance. 


+Incident 220-P 
excerpt from the notes of Dr. Hart 


The secondary effects of contact with 
SCP-220 were discovered accidentally, during 
psychiatric evaluation of D-7905 by Dr. 
Palermo. 24 hours had elapsed since D-7905's 
exposure to SCP-220; the affected individual's 
confusion and disorientation had increased, to 
the point of several times referring to Dr. 
Palermo as his father. Thirty minutes into the 
interview, recordings indicate that Dr. Palermo 
also began to display signs of confusion and 
disorientation, alternately addressing the 
interviewee as D-7905 and his son. 


The effects of SCP-220 were determined to be 
highly contagious, spread via in-person 
contact (including eye-contact with no 
accompanying verbalizations). Five individuals 
were subsequently quarantined; D-class 
subjects were terminated. 


Dr. Palermo's condition has deteriorated from 
identity confusion to a state resembling 
advanced Alzheimer's disease. The 
contagiousness of these symptoms has been 
proven to increase with their severity. 


Individuals who observe SCP-220 via audio or audiovisual 
recordings demonstrate no anomalous effects, provided that these 
recordings do not take the form of a two-way conversation with 
SCP-220. 


Addendum 1: 


On 1/26/12, SCP-220 sustained serious bruising after a fall. D-9120, 
under pretense of being one of the building's residents, was 
instructed to assess the subject's injuries. SCP-220's emotional 
distress was observed to exacerbate its anomalous effect on 
D-9120, who became rapidly disoriented, forgetting her objective. 
D-9002 was instructed to retrieve D-9120 from the containment site, 
and was indisposed by these symptoms at a notably slower rate. 
D-9120 and D-9002 were subsequently quarantined and remotely 
euthanized. 


Addendum 2: 

The following is the complete list of requests made by SCP-220 via 
phone. Granted requests and meals are supplied while SCP-220 is 
occupied with the daily ritual of walking five times around the 
building's lobby. Denied requests are communicated by a note of 
apology from the condominium's "manager", citing the item's 
unavailability.

SCP-221: Compulsion Tweezers 


Item #: SCP-221 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-221 is to be kept ina 
locked container where it cannot be removed except for further 
testing by Security Clearance Level 2 Personnel. The container is a 
15.25 cm by 15.25 cm steel box with a cushioned interior, with an 
internal locking system. The container is to be placed in a locked 
room, with a guard to ensure that SCP-221 is not taken. 


Description: SCP-221 is a pair of tweezers made out of gold, made 
in the 16th or 17th century. After subject testing it was noted that the 
damaged areas which had been used to gather material samples 
were smaller than they had been prior to the test. It is currently 
theorized that SCP-221 uses the minute amounts of gold in the 
human body to regenerate damage to itself. 


Subject testing revealed that SCP-221 creates a highly focused 
case of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in any person which uses it 
on their own body. Subjects will utilize SCP-221 to slowly remove 
any and all hair from their body, before removing finger and toenails, 
as well as teeth, culminating with the removal of organs, both the 
external, such as the eyes and skin, and the internal, such as the 
liver and pancreas, using their hands if SCP-221 is not effective 
(though SCP-221 will never be set aside during this process, and 
remains gripped in one of the subject's hands). If SCP-221 is taken 
away from the subject, they become violent and manic, and will use 
their hands to continue the process, albeit in a less careful manner. 
It is to be noted that the progression of this behavior is different for 
each subject, but no less fatal. 


SCP-221 came into Foundation possession after reports of a human 
being who was [DATA EXPUNGED]. Foundation personnel 
retrieved SCP-221 within 10 hours of the original report. 


Addendum: 


Test Log 221-1: The test subject, a Class-D, was ordered to use 
SCP-221 to remove his eyebrow hair. While the subject was initially 
unenthusiastic about his task, after the first 10 minutes he began to 
more actively pluck out his own eyebrow hair, and after completely 
denuding his brow, moved on to plucking out his eyelashes, despite 
repeated assertions that the test was over. When released after 
SCP-221 was taken out of the room, he began to pluck out his 
eyelashes with his own fingers, completely removing all of them 
before moving on to his toenails. The subject completely removed 
his toe and fingernails, before yelling and smashing his own face 
against a wall. The reason for this outburst became apparent when 
he reached into his mouth and began ripping out his now loosened 
teeth. Eventually the subject died from blood loss and shock, 
halfway through the task of pulling out his own internal organs. 


Test Log 221-2: The test subjects were two Class-D personnel, 
Test Subject 1, ordered to use SCP-221 on the other Class-D, Test 
Subject 2. After 15 minutes, the test subjects began to argue about 
how the holder of SCP-221 was using it on the other. The test 
subjects began to fight for use of SCP-221, Test Subject 1 used 
SCP-221 to stab Test Subject 2 through the eye, piercing into the 
brain, immediately killing him. Test Subject 1 began to use SCP-221 
to remove his own eyelashes, continuing to his teeth and eyes. Test 
Subject 1 died of blood loss, after removing 73% of the skin on his 
body.

SCP-222: Clone Coffin 


Item #: SCP-222 


Object Class: Euclid 


THIS DOCUMENT NOT FOR USE BY PERSONNEL 
BELOW CLEARANCE LEVEL 3 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-222 itself requires no 
special containment. It also cannot be moved. The site is guarded 
by SCP Foundation personnel as well as a rotating mix of US, 
Italian, and NATO soldiers (none of whom are aware of its 
significance). Foundation personnel travel to and from the site very 
often, and their true numbers are carefully hidden from the soldiers 
(and usually from personnel below clearance level 3). 


Description: SCP-222 designates an area of tunnels in the 
Dolomites Mountains, near Aviano, Italy. The site is close to the 
Church of St. Gregory, and Aviano Air Force Base is also nearby. 
The tunnels are filled with carved stone coffins; one coffin in 
particular has unusual properties, and some portion of the tunnels is 
also involved. The carvings in the tunnels appear very old and of 
fairly good workmanship. 


History 


After 1948, US operatives in Italy participating in Operation Gladio 
began receiving word of unusual activities at the site. In 1954 Aviano 
Air Base was turned over to NATO. 


On February 22, 1955, Foundation operatives found a series of 
tunnels carved into the mountains. They appeared to be catacombs 
(tunnels for storing the dead); archaeological research into their 
construction has yielded contradictory results. (See #SCP-222-7 
through -9.) The tunnels were being used as a hideout by a terrorist 


cult. All members of the cult were killed or taken into custody. 
(Operation details filed in #$CP-222-1 through -5.) The cult 
appeared to be less mentally stable than most such organizations, 
but otherwise unremarkable. However, details turned up during the 
operation prompted further investigation. 


Once the nature and abilities of the site were determined, it became 
one of the most-used and -visited objects under Foundation care. 


Function 


As previously stated, one (and only one) coffin in the tunnels has 
unusual properties. (See #SCP-222-6 for summation of all tests 
done to date and clarification of items below.) If a living person is 
placed into the coffin and it is closed, the following sequence of 
events occurs. 


¢ Within 15 minutes, the occupant falls asleep. 


© The occupant will fall asleep under any circumstances; 
such as, but not limited to, being in the middle of a 
claustrophobic fit, or being given amounts of caffeine 
and amphetamines close to causing an overdose. 


¢ The occupant sleeps for 1-2 hours. 


© Opening the coffin during this time usually results in the 
death of the occupant and no further results. 


¢ The occupant wakes up, feeling well rested. 


© The occupant will not fall asleep until the coffin is 
opened again. The possibility of sleep deprivation 
research has been advanced but not yet implemented. 


¢ Within 24 hours, a person will be found within the tunnels who 
is a duplicate, or clone, of the occupant. 


© No attempts to find the origin of the clone within the 
tunnels have ever been successful. The clone invariably 
finds its way to the coffin, though it usually appears to 
be wandering aimlessly. 


Clones created by the coffin appear in all physical respects to be 
identical to their originals, though dressed in tattered rags of 
unknown origin. Man-made objects are not duplicated; the cloning 
process is not recommended for occupants with tooth fillings or 
pacemakers. Clones appear to possess the same lifespan and 
medical conditions as their originals. 


The most unusual aspect of a clone is its mind. Clones appear to be 
victims of global retrograde amnesia. Languages are retained, along 
with most physical skills. While clones cannot remember any people 
or events, they appear to retain their ethical beliefs and loyalties, 
and thus can usually be quickly re-indoctrinated into Foundation 
personnel. Security procedures must be retrained, but combat and 
weapon skills are preserved. Some clones demonstrate retention of 
computer and interrogation skills as well. 


Many Foundation personnel have been cloned with SCP-222, 
providing a loyal workforce for Foundation initiatives. It is one of our 
most obviously useful items. 


Addendum: Document #SCP-12: Indoctrination Issues 


Lieutenant 's clone was brought to a mockup KGB 
indoctrination center where he was brainwashed into becoming a 
"KGB spy". He was a native of the USSR, so this was considered a 
useful test of a clone's attitudes. The clone eventually rebelled 
against the brainwashing and was prepared to die rather than 
submit. At that point the "training exercise" was ended and he was 
welcomed as a loyal Foundation member. 


However, . 's clone was given a standard indoctrination, but 
it rebelled and proclaimed allegiance to an Afghan terrorist group. It 
was terminated, and questioning of the original : revealed 
that the beliefs had been accurately copied. 


Addendum: Document #SCP-222-13: Call for clone psychiatric/ 
sociological analysis 


General maintains that cloned personnel display behavior 
patterns and habits that cannot be accounted for by simple amnesia. 
He cites a statistically significant higher incidence of mental illness, 


particularly homicidal tendencies, among clones when compared to 
"original" personnel. 


Addendum: Document #SCP-222-14: "Second generation" Clones 


Clones may themselves be cloned, though records show this has 
only been performed twice. The "second generation" clones were 
observed to have marked mental differences: both were resistant to 
indoctrination, and Foundation psychiatrists returned a diagnosis of 
antisocial personality disorder. However, intelligence and mental 
ability were measured at equal to or greater than the original clones’ 
(or even the originals’). Further investigation is warranted. 


Addendum: Document #SCP-222-15: "Clonedex" 


has called for an effort to catalogue all clones in Foundation 
employ and the verification of the locations of each of them, as there 
appear to be consistent reports that the Foundation has more 
personnel than is recorded. 


Addendum: Document #SCP-222-17: Clone Approval Orders 


By order of O5-2, all cloning activities must be recorded with a work 
order and must be approved by non-clone personnel of at least 
clearance 4. 


Addendum: Document #SCP-222-21: Clone Visual Identification 


As a result of the nearly successful Site takeover attempt by the 
clone of General wherein [DATA EXPUNGED)}, all current and 
future clones are to be tattooed on the forehead and back of both 
hands with a simple C. This should negate the possibility of a clone 
impersonating its original for nefarious purposes.

SCP-223: A Photo Album 


Item #: SCP-223 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-223 is kept in a locked 
containment vault in Site-19. If the two (2) photos missing from 
SCP-223 are recovered, they should be stored in two separate, 
specially prepared vaults at Site-17. 


Any personnel who see any anomalies appear anywhere in 
SCP-223 must be reassigned to another project immediately. Such 
personnel must be kept under observation for mental instability 
(including tri-weekly examination by a site psychiatrist) and are 
advised to minimize their exposure to photographs of any kind. 


Description: SCP-223 is a photo album, capable of holding thirty 
(830) photos, bound like a small hardcover book. The photos are 
attached to the pages with an unknown adhesive. It matches the 
appearance of a product made by but lacks any brand label. 
“From danny with love” has been written on the back in blue ink. 


SCP-223 contains twenty-eight (28) photos, which chronicle an 
engaged couple’s vacation to Beach. The final two (2) pages of 
the album have been ripped out. 


The couple in the photos has been positively identified as E 

and L , who went on the vacation depicted June of 19 .E 
andL diedonJune inamurder-suicide byE .E _ ’s suicide 
note claimed he found his fiancée in bed with another man and killed 
her, however no evidence of such an affair was ever found. 


There is one other person who frequently appears in the photos of 
SCP-223, a Caucasian male with attractive and somewhat 
androgynous features, designation SCP-223-1. Based on his 
behaviour in the photos he seems to be a friend of the couple. All 


attempts to determine the identity of SCP-223-1 have proven 
fruitless. 


SCP-223-1 does not appear in photos and recorded footage of 
SCP-223, although careful comparative analysis of the photos and 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Occasionally, persons reading SCP-223 will see the likeness of their 
romantic interest in one or more of SCP-223’s photos, replacing an 
incidental bystander. Independent observers can verify that the 
photos do in fact change, however these anomalies are always 
discovered by the individual they most concern. SCP-223 seems to 
target readers who are in a stable, happy romantic relationship with 
these anomalies. SCP-223 apparently can only target one person at 
a time in this way. 


If the discoverer of the anomaly (hereafter the target) continues to 
read SCP-223, their perceptions of the album's contents will change 
radically. While any other reader continues to see the original 
photos, the target will see an album of photos of their romantic 
partner interacting with an androgynous but attractive member of the 
target’s sex. The target invariably reacts with jealousy and 
suspicion, and if allowed will search for the final two pages, believing 
that the contents will prove whether or not the target’s partner is 
cheating. 


The effects of SCP-223 on a given target wear off completely within 
one (1) week unless the target is exposed to new photos or 
SCP-223. At this point the current target’s love interest’s likeness 
will vanish from the album and the target can safely view ordinary 
photographs. A former target attempting to view SCP-223’s 
photographs will see [REDACTED]. 


If not allowed contact with SCP-223 following the initial discovery, 
the target’s perceptions of other photographs will also be altered. 
The nature of these alterations varies depending on the content of 
the photos, but the majority involve the inclusion of a humanoid 
similar to SCP-223-1. Pictures including both the target and the 
target's romantic partner seem to be the most psychologically 
damaging to view. Exposure to a sufficiently large number of 
photographs seems to cause a ‘brainwashing’ effect in the target, 


creating a strong delusion of great danger that can only be resolved 
by returning the missing photos to SCP-223. This appears to be 
caused by long succession of subliminal signals and traumatising 
images rather than by any actual psychic influence. 


Psych. Report 223-6 (Dr. Morris) / /19 Interview Log 


Examiner: Please be seated. How long has it been since 
your first exposure? 

Morris: Um, about a week? Yeah, that's right, seven 
days. It’s all kind of blurred. 

Examiner: How do you feel? 

Morris: Sort of paranoid. Edgy. Like he’s watching me 
from somewhere, somehow. Um, any update on the 
missing photos? 

Examiner: Who do you mean by ‘he?’ 

Morris: The man we called 223-1. From the photos. 
He’s... 

Examiner: Yes? 

Morris: (silence) 

Examiner: Have you been exposed to any photos since 
your last visit? 

Morris: No. 

Examiner: Good. What do you see here? (photo is of a 
grizzly bear drinking from a pool) 

Morris: Um, it seems to be a photo of two bears mating. 
Examiner: Very well. And this? (photo is of a bed, no 
figures present) 

Morris: A naked man, seated on a bed. Look, it’s been a 
week, right? You can let me go? I’ve got to find those 
photos... 

Examiner: You seem extremely interested in SCP-223’s 
missing photographs. Why? 

Morris: I’ve got to prove Lily’s innocence. 

Examiner: Dr. Morris, your wife is in no danger. We 
discovered nearly twenty photographs hidden in and 
around your quarters, Dr. Morris. Whatever you saw in 
those photos is not real. 

Morris: (lunging at the examiner, restrained by guards) 
Liar! You’re working for them aren't you! 


Examiner: (to guards) Take him away for now. 
Morris: Wait! Wait! When can | see Lily aga— 
[LOG ENDS] 


Note: Morris was given a Class-A amnestic and has now returned to 
his full duties. Mrs. Morris has been informed that her husband is 
dead. 


Addendum 223-1: Further analysis of E °s autopsy report indicates 
that several of the wounds found on his body could not have been 
self inflicted, therefore suicide has been ruled out as cause of death. 
There is no evidence of anyone other than E entering or leaving 
the scene of the crime for at least twenty four (24) hours before and 
after his death, although [REDACTED] one of the walls.

SCP-224: Grandfather Clock 


Item #: SCP-224 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Item SCP-224 is to be stored in 
a soundproof enclosure with acoustic destructive interference 
nodes. Nodes must be replaced on a weekly basis by remote means 
due to the erratic nature of SCP-224’s effect; non Class-D personnel 
are not to enter the enclosure. Additionally, SCP-224’s enclosure 
must be kept free from moisture to avoid rapid oxidation. 


In the event that the clock begins to chime, all personnel must 
evacuate the area, and the location should be secured following 
procedure Zeit 77. 


Description: SCP-224 is a wooden grandfather clock, accented 
with a black lacquer and gold leaf. Markings, remotely observed, 
date its origin at the end of the 19th century. Though internal 
examination of its components has been done, the density and 
construction of its gears make method of function impossible to 
interpret. 


The hands of the clock do not move with any known consistency, 
though the tendency seems to be generally clockwise. Additionally, 
chimes occur at non-regular intervals, ranging from approximately 
one minute to several months. To further complicate matters, the 
numbers on the clock also have a tendency to move and shift, 
though they generally retain ascending order. 


Each chime has an anomalous acoustic signature that causes a 
drastic localized temporal acceleration. People and objects in range 
of the sound begin to age. The amount of time is not consistent with 
the chimes, ranging from essentially inconsequential amounts to 
several years, though the amount aged during any single event is 
consistent for all objects within the field of effect. 


SCP-224 was originally found in the Antique Shop and 
purchased by Mr. as a gift for his wife. When brought 
home and wound, the anomalous properties were noticed, though 
not acted upon, both apparently considering the object broken. Their 
bodies were discovered in their collapsed house two days later, 
aged significantly. Foundation personnel monitoring took 
interest, and SCP-224 was subsequently recovered. Agents 

and were unfortunately lost following exposure during 
transportation. 


Any instances of SCP-224 retaining any numeric pattern for an 
extended period should be reported to Dr. Simmons Dr. Locke. 
Failure to do so will result in suspension and possible demotion. 


Addendum SCP-224, Cataloged Incidents: 


Due to repeated errors on the part of the maintenance crews 
working on containment for SCP-224, Dr. Simmons insisted that the 
following report be spread among the onsite work crews to fully 
stress the importance of SCP-224’s containment. After its 
circulation, it was added to the primary case file for historical 
purposes. 


Today, | had the pleasure of informing Agent that he 
is to be given retirement pay and is free to leave active 
duty as of this evening. It was not initially approved by 


Director until | explained the circumstances. 
Agent , who is the father of Alice and husband 
of Merilee , was walking past the SCP-224 


containment facility on Friday, March 17, 198 . He was 
reporting to his supervisor’s office to deliver the final 
report on SCP-_, which he was instrumental in helping 
acquire. Because SCP-224’s effect is so unpredictable, 
he had no way of knowing that the object had activated 
until the acoustic dampening equipment failed, leading to 
the collapse of the wall. At this time, Agent was 
exposed to seven iterations of SCP-224’s effect. 


The first one saw him age into his mid-thirties. Those of 


you who have seen the video are aware that this wasn't 
a drastic change. However, by the second exposure, he 
was now well into his forties. There was significant 
graying of hair. By the third iteration, he was balding, and 
we estimate his age reached into the early sixties. By the 
fourth, his skin had noticeably wrinkled, with liver spots 
appearing in several places. 


By the sixth iteration, Agent collapsed due to a 
broken hip, fracturing several ribs and his left arm. It was 
at this time that he lost control of his bowels and bladder. 
When the seventh iteration ended, containment had to 
be manually reestablished. At this time, Agent is 
estimated to be over a hundred years old. 


As a note, Agent volunteered for termination and 
examination of SCP-224’s effects, should the retirement 
pay he was now technically entitled to be rewarded to his 
family. | heartily thank Director and Agent for 
giving us this opportunity to study SCP-224’s effect. | 
hope you'll remember in the future that, while some 
SCPs kill immediately, others do not. Others leave 
lingering effects that have ramifications for the people— 
and the families of the people—who are subjected to 
them. 


Dr. Rasmussen was down the hall from Agent . He 
is now a thirty-five year old man in an elderly body. 
Assistant Researcher Jessup, who was pregnant when 
she was exposed in the same incident, died when her 
child was forced through her abdomen. Her son is a forty 
year old man with the mind of an infant. Dr. Quinn's 
undiagnosed case of bladder cancer consumed his 
entire abdomen in a matter of moments. 


Please keep these incidents in mind before failing to 
replace the "perfectly fine" acoustic nodes in the 
containment enclosure.

SCP-225: Unstoppable and Immovable 


Item #: SCP-225 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-225-1 is contained at 
Site-65 for study and experimentation. No guards are necessary for 
the object itself, as theft is impossible and the object is harmless for 
the moment. Ongoing tests are to be made to find a way to eliminate 
SCP-225-1, or at least to find a way to move it from its position ina 
controllable fashion. 


SCP-225-2 is as yet uncontainable and should be monitored as best 
as possible as it travels, with constant updates as to its current 
position, speed, and trajectory, along with projections as to its 
estimated position for the next 50 years. 


As of this writing SCP-225 poses no immediate threat. However, in 
the event that a collision course with SCP-225-1 is detected, 
SCP-225 is to be immediately upgraded to Keter, and every effort 
must be made to find a way to alter SCP-225-1 or SCP-225-2 from 
their courses. 


All Foundation resources are to be made available for this objective 
should a collision ever become probable. Planetary evacuation 
plans are to be drawn up as a precaution, as are revised 
containment procedures for Keter level items whose containment 
being compromised by [DATA EXPUNGED] would not also result in 
the item's imminent destruction. 


Description: SCP-225-1 and SCP-225-2 are shiny gray metallic 
spheres of unknown origin and composition, each with a diameter of 
0.681 meters. 


SCP-225-1 appears stable and motionless, but is in fact moving in a 
geosynchronous path above Earth, at the exact speed of Earth's 


rotation, maintaining its relative position at all times. 


Gravity, magnetism, and all other forces tested have had no effect 
upon it; it maintains position approximately 7.3 meters above the 
surface. No amount of force brought to bear on it in any direction 
has any effect upon its position; all tools and weaponry tested have 
no effect upon it physically. 


SCP-225-2 follows a path around the sun that is nearly synchronous 
with Earth's. It does not orbit Earth; Earth rotates under it, giving it 
the illusory appearance of traveling around the Earth at velocities 
usually ranging from 1,600 - 2,000 km/h, depending on its current 
relative altitude. It does not technically orbit the sun either; it 
appears to be moving under its own power via unknown means. Its 
course has not been entirely predictable. 


Differences between SCP-225-2's path and Earth's orbit move the 
planet closer to or further away from SCP-225-2, within a 
surprisingly small level of variance to date. Since it was first 
observedin _ it has never reached a relative altitude of less than 
10 km, generally staying between km- km above the surface, 
though it has moved as far away as [DATA EXPUNGED] resulting in 
atemporary loss of contactin (contact re-established in after 
the Lunar Impact incident). 


Similarly to SCP-225-1, no force or weaponry brought to bear upon 
it has had any effect, though testing on it is significantly more 
difficult, time-consuming, and resource-intensive due to the variation 
in its relative position. 


Addendum: To summarize: no effort to move or damage 
SCP-225-1 has any effect, and no effort to stop or damage 
SCP-225-2 has any effect. SCP-225-2 destructively travels through 
any object in its path without pause and/or pushes it out of its way, 
regardless of that object's composition. SCP-225-1 is unaffected by 
any amount of force brought to bear on it in any direction. 


While individually each object is not as yet of any major concern, 
there are cataclysmic implications should the two objects collide. 
Projections based upon the estimated amount of material contained 
between the two objects (0.33 cubic meters, appr. 2,600 kg) show 


that should the objects annihilate each other, they would release at 
minimum the power of a_gigaton nuclear explosion, potentially 
much higher depending upon what they are constructed of. 


Since all tests thus far have shown that neither SCP-225-1 nor 
SCP-225-2 can be damaged or moved by any means known, the 
possibility also exists that neither object would be annihilated, 
halted, or altered from their course even by contact with the other. If 
this is true, then a collision between SCP-225-1 and SCP-225-2 has 
the potential to [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


In this circumstance planetary evacuation may not be sufficient and

SCP-226: Puzzle Of Terror 


Item #: SCP-226 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedure: SCP-226 is to be keptina 
locked cabinet within the Site- Secure Item Storage unit. Any 
person wishing to use SCP-226 must have approval from any 
personnel with at least level 3 Security Clearance. 


Description: SCP-226 is a cardboard box, measuring roughly 

30 cm x 20 cm x 4cm. It has a lid that fits securely over the bottom 
half, as with any common puzzle box. The surface of the box is a 
deep black, with the word "fear" scrawled with white ink on the 
upper-right corner of its lid. Within the box are 1,000 cardboard 
puzzle pieces, each measuring roughly 2 centimeters in diameter, 
also considered SCP-226. When completed, the puzzle always 
forms in a rectangular shape. However, the design and order in 
which the pieces fit together change with use. 


SCP-226 aligns itself with whoever initially opens the box. When 
opened, the pieces change design, and the completed image will 
show what has been discovered to be the greatest fear of the 
person who it is aligned to. The image on the pieces do not change 
after the box has been opened. Recorded images on SCP-226 are 
as follows: 


¢ A bloated corpse, sinking under water. 
* Aset of gallows with several nooses attached. 


¢ A person screaming, with hundreds of small spiders crawling 
out of his mouth. 


¢ A darkened window, with a mutilated hand scraping across it. 


* SCP-682. 


« A human figure completely covered in various insects such as 
bees or centipedes. 


* The cross section of a coffin buried in dirt, with a person inside 
slamming her fists on inside of the lid. 


When completed and taken back apart, the lid of SCP-226's box will 
fly through the air and secure itself back on the lower half. The 
puzzle pieces will disappear, presumably returning back into the 
box. SCP-226 will then become un-aligned, and align itself with the 
next person to open the box. 


Additional Notes: SCP-226 was first discovered by now defunct 
Mobile Task Force -120n / /19 .Atthe time, the Task Force 
was investigating reports of a possible SCP in a series of tunnels 
underneath a church in the city of [DATA EXPUNGED]. Due to an 
equipment malfunction, MTF-12 had lost communication with the 
surface, and was stranded within the tunnels until repairs were 
made. The Task Force discovered SCP-226 on a wooden table 
within a stone room, surrounded by several chairs. Believing it to be 
a simple puzzle, MTF-12 decided to open SCP-226 to pass the time. 
When completed, SCP-226 depicted the exact scene of MTF-12 
sitting at the table working on a puzzle. However, Agent T 
appeared to be viciously stabbing several other members of the 
Task Force with the standard-issue titanium knife supplied to every 
Agent. The puzzle was taken apart, transporting back to its box. 
Repairs were soon made, and MTF-12 returned to the surface. 


Note: Regrettably, an accident en-route to the surface caused the 
death of Agent T

SCP-227: Complete Antikythera Mechanism 


Item #: SCP-227 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-227 is to be kept ina 
climate-controlled room, at a temperature of 21-24°C and humidity 
no higher than 10%. Anyone touching the object is required to wear 
surgical gloves; a supply of these is to be kept with SCP-227 at all 
times. Food, drink, cigarettes, or any other sources of contamination 
are not allowed inside of the containment area. Loose clothing, hair, 
or other adornment is not recommended. Only personnel with Level 
3 clearance or higher are allowed access to SCP-227, although 
lower ranking staff are allowed to use the object while under 
supervision. If SCP-227 needs to be transported to another location, 
it should be sealed in an insulated, airtight container filled with an 
inert gas. 


Description: SCP-227 is a bronze clockwork device measuring 

10 cm x 16 cm x 26 cm and weighing 5 kg. SCP-227 is somewhat 
similar in appearance to reconstructions of the "Antikythera 
Mechanism", an incomplete and heavily corroded Greek artifact 
thought to date from approximately 100 BCE. Unlike that artifact, 
SCP-227 was found intact and apparently fully functional. This is 
partly because SCP-227 was found on land at , , instead of at 
the bottom of the Mediterranean, but the lack of significant damage 
is remarkable. Preliminary testing of SCP-227 shows that it may 
have some ability to repair itself over time. Further testing is pending 
approval from O5 level staff. 


SCP-227 has one major dial with three hands on the front face; this 
dial has several concentric rings which rotate independently. The 
rear face has two major dials with two hands each; these dials are 
surrounded by a spiral groove, through which some of the internal 
gearing is visible. A number of smaller dials are arranged around the 
rest of the object. The total number of these minor dials visible at 


once varies when the object is in use, as does the number of hands 
on each dial. There are three small cranks on the right side of 
SCP-227. Turning any of these sets the moving parts of SCP-227 
into action. The top crank causes the most rapid change; some of 
the smaller hands have been observed moving at speeds of over 
RPM. Extended use of the top crank causes SCP-227 to heat up 
significantly. Personnel are advised to use caution when turning the 
top crank, to avoid damaging SCP-227 or injuring themselves. The 
middle and bottom crank are used for medium and fine adjustments, 
respectively. 


The object is covered in a large number of inscriptions. The majority 
of these are in Attic Greek; however, some are in various writing 
systems that have yet to be deciphered. These include Linear A, 
Cretan hieroglyphs, and one or more unknown languages. The 
translatable text is essentially a manual of operation for SCP-227, 
with the exception of one passage which states [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. The full significance of this passage is under 
investigation. 


Early indications are that SCP-227 is an incredibly accurate 
astronomical computer. Symbols corresponding to the Sun, Moon, 
and planets are prominently placed on the front major dial, along 
with many other symbols of unknown meaning. The rear major dials 
have markings consistent with several ancient calendar systems. 
These include the Callippic, Metonic, Saros, and Sothic cycles. 
There are also at least two more previously unknown calendar 
systems present. 


Addendum SCP-227-01: Further study has revealed that SCP-227 
is able to compute the locations of bodies that were only recently 
discovered by modern astronomers. For example, one set of hands 
and markings corresponds to the Kuiper belt object 50000 Quaoar. 
Quaoar is difficult to detect even with the Hubble Space Telescope; 
how the designer of SCP-227 was able to predict its orbit is 
unknown. 


Addendum SCP-227-02: SCP-227 has demonstrated an ability to 
predict even aperiodic astronomical events. One researcher was 
turning the top crank and happened to notice a minor dial appear 
very briefly. Fine tuning revealed that the minor dial first appears on 


a date corresponding to 23 Feb 1987. This is the date that the 
supernova SN 1987A was first observed on Earth. 


Addendum SCP-227-03: Advancing SCP-227 past the date 
corresponding to 2 is not possible. A force of up to 100 N 
applied to the bottom crank is unable to produce any movement past 
this date. Testing with additional force has not been authorized due 
to the risk of damaging SCP-227. When the object is set to this date, 
a large number of dials and symbols appear which are not seen at 
any other setting. The meaning of this final setting is unknown. 
Some researchers believe that this may represent an XK class end- 
of-the-world scenario, such as a wandering brown dwarf (the so- 
called “Nemesis hypothesis”), a gamma ray burst, or [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


Addendum SCP-227-04: The date of the final setting on SCP-227 
was observed to change once, toatime years later than the 
previous date. The symbols that appeared at this new final setting 
were somewhat different from the previous one, but their meaning 
remains unknown. Research into what may have caused this 
change is underway.

SCP-228: Psychiatric Diagnostic Tool 


Item #: SCP-228 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-228 will be used to 
conduct experimental psychiatric testing at Site-23. 


SCP-228 is to be kept under glass in observation room 113-AD-C at 
Site-23. Access to observation room 113-AD-C will require either 
level four authorization or a signed notification from Medical Director 
Light. 


Observation room 113-AD-C is to be monitored by no fewer than 
four (4) high definition video cameras and a reinforced one way 
observation mirror running the full length of the east wall. 


When a subject observes SCP-228, their reaction is to be 
documented by no fewer than five (5) researchers stationed behind 
the observation mirror, as well as the subject's accompanying 
psychiatrist. 


Description: SCP-228 is a Polaroid photograph of variable 
appearance. It is apparent at this time that SCP-228 derives its 
subject matter from the subconscious mind of the viewer. The 
images produced are always visually clear, but vary in interpretive 
coherency. For example, one viewer may cause SCP-228 to 
manifest a clear portrait of that viewer's father, while another causes 
an image of a heart shaped object submerged in green fluid to 
[REDACTED]. The coherence of the image produced by SCP-228 
appears to vary from subject to subject, and is theorised to have 
some connection to the viewer's emotional state. 


SCP-228's various image manifestations can be photographed 
normally, although the photographs will not display the ability to 
manifest new images. It will manifest an image when viewed 


remotely by video feed. After SCP-228 has manifested an image, it 
will remain inert, displaying the same image, until that viewer looks 
away. At that point, it will adapt its manifestation to reflect that of the 
current viewer. The question of what SCP-228 manifests when 
unobserved is moot. 


SCP-228 will be used to assist members of the psychiatric staff at 
Site-23. During psychoanalysis, the patient, hereafter referred to as 
the subject, will be asked leading questions and instructed to look at 
SCP-228. Once the manifestation has been recorded, the subject 
will be instructed to look away. At no point should the interviewer 
view SCP-228 before the subject, as this will corrupt the record and 
potentially skew psychoanalysis of the subject. 


Addendum: As of / /  ,no personnel who have previously been 
exposed to a visual memetic agent is authorized for exposure to 
SCP-228, due to the possibility of [SUBSEQUENT DATA 
EXPUNGED}].

SCP-229: Wire Weed 


Item #: SCP-229 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: No electrical devices of any 
kind are allowed inside or within thirty meters of the containment 
area. Any and all personnel entering the containment area are to be 
clad in lead-lined clothing and helmets. Anything found to be 
infested by SCP-229 is to be immediately incinerated and the 
resulting ash and debris contained and disposed of under protocol 
XJR-99. 


Containment area is to be composed of a hollow cube of 18 cm thick 
granite, 8 meters on a side, with a single door and airlock. These are 
to operate with no electrical components, and those components are 
to be made of wood or stone whenever possible. 


Any organism infested with SCP-229 is to be immediately 
incinerated. Any items or staff exiting the containment area must be 
scanned and cleared by site security. 


Description: SCP-229 appears to be a mass of wires and cables. 
Superficially, they appear to be raw copper wire, insulated Ethernet 
cable, phone cable, power lines, and many other forms of electrical 
cable. The current mass weighs 94 kg at last measurement. 


SCP-229 is tentatively identified as a form of silicon-based life. 
SCP-229 is a highly invasive parasite, attacking anything carrying 
even a low electrical current. SCP-229 will grow several centimeters 
every hour, and form connectors to attach to electrical power 
sources (wall socket plugs, USB connectors, etc.). SCP-229 will also 
splice itself into power lines and existing wires if no connection is 
available. SCP-229 appears to "feed" off electricity. 


SCP-229 appears to go dormant when not in the presence of an 


electrical source. Any electrical current entering within thirty meters, 
no matter how small, will immediately cause SCP-229 to “grow” in 
the direction of the electricity. Questions regarding the possible 
intelligence and sensory organs of SCP-229 are still under 
investigation. 


SCP-229 appears to “grow” best on metal or plastic, but is very 
capable of infesting living tissue. In vertebrate animals, SCP-229 will 
quickly penetrate the epidermis and other tissues, attaching to and 
enveloping the spine. SCP-229 will then grow along nerve pathways 
and up into the brain, attaching and infesting it within a few days. 
This process appears to be extremely painful, and can cause very 
erratic behavior. When the infested subject nears death, usually 
from massive internal bleeding and brain damage, SCP-229 will exit 
the body by puncturing through the skin and attaching to any nearby 
structures, thus beginning the cycle again. 


It is theorized that SCP-229 has always been present in our 
ecosystem, but that the technological level, and thereby the 
availability of electricity, was insufficient to allow its spread. With the 
current prevalence of wires and other electrical devices, detection 
can be extremely difficult. Incineration is currently the best means 
for SCP-229 removal. 


Addendum: At this time, cross-experimentation between SCP-229 
and SCP-217 is allowed only with O5 approval.

SCP-230: The Gayest Man Alive 


Item #: SCP-230 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-230 is kept in a secure 
room in Site- . The room must have a controlled ventilation system 
so that air exiting the room can be properly filtered before it reenters 
the regular ventilation system of the complex. SCP-230 is to be 
given anything he requests that does not violate standard 
procedures for SCP containment. The door is set to automatically 
lock every time it closes and can only be opened from outside the 
room. Personnel entering SCP-230's room must wear a full 
HAZMAT suit with its own oxygen supply. Personnel exposed to the 
air in SCP-230's cell or who come in physical contact with SCP-230 
or any of SCP-230's bodily fluids must be contained and held for 
observation for no less than one month. Personnel still exhibiting 
symptoms from SCP-230 after one month are to be terminated. If 
personnel are cleared by on-site staff after a month, they are then to 
be transferred and forbidden contact with SCP-230. 


Due to recent events, subjects that have been exposed and cleared 
by staff are required to undergo regular psychological exams. If 
upon exam the personnel exhibits any of the traits shown in 
document 230-4436b, the personnel is to be terminated. 


NOTE: Subject has made several escape attempts utilizing 
personnel exposed to SCP-230. This represents a low threat due to 
the fact that exposed personnel are usually impaired; however, 
personnel will become violent in order to stay in SCP-230's 
presence. 


Description: SCP-230 is a male Caucasian with a lean build and 
gaunt appearance. SCP-230 is 185 cm (6 ft 1 in) tall, 68.04 kg (150 


los), and appears to be in his early thirties. He wears bright clothing 
and prefers the colors pink and yellow. SCP-230 is a very cheerful 
individual who appears to be incapable of negative emotions. 


SCP-230 secretes a chemical similar in composition to heroin from 
his pores. The chemical has been named Compound-_ . Once 
secreted from his pores, it evaporates immediately and 
contaminates the air around SCP-230. Compound-_ seems to be 
effective in as little as thirty parts per million in gaseous form. When 
inhaled, Compound- causes extreme euphoria in subjects. 
Analysis on Class-D personnel under the effects of SCP-230 
indicated they had dopamine levels greater than five times of what is 
expected during sexual climax. Subjects express impairment similar 
to the effects of heroin. Subjects become willing to comply with any 
request SCP-230 makes provided it does not involve leaving 
SCP-230's presence. 


Compound- _ is present in all of SCP-230's bodily fluids. Exposure 
is possible even by contact with SCP-230's skin. Exposure to the 
compound will result in immediate addiction. Withdrawal symptoms 
are extreme and have a thirty percent mortality rate. Symptoms 
include: loss of appetite, tremors, panic, vomiting, diarrhea, 
irritability, dementia, insanity, blindness, and hemorrhaging, though 
symptoms vary from subject to subject. Symptoms typically last for 
around two weeks before subsiding. The symptoms appear to be 
determined by how much of Compound-_ the subject is exposed to. 
Subjects that ingest any of SCP-230's bodily fluid (i.e. saliva, blood, 
etc) have a mortality rate from withdrawal of 100%. 


SCP-230 was found in an apartment in with twenty people 
acting as his servants. SCP-230 seemed to be actively attempting to 
limit the number of people he exposed. Several bodies of exposed 
persons were found on the premises. When questioned about them, 
SCP-230 replied, "Things were getting crowded, so | had to aska 
few of them to stop breathing." 


SCP-230 appears to be under the effects of Compound-_, but 
doesn't seem to be impaired by it in any way. Attempts to alter 
SCP-230's mood have proven ineffective. Use of various drugs 
known to cause depression only resulted in SCP-230 producing 
more of Compound- and thus were ineffective. 


SCP-230 is a very friendly individual and will candidly engage in 
conversation with any personnel. SCP-230 is unaware of how or 
when he began secreting Compound-_ . When questioned about his 
past, SCP-230 replied that he has been secreting Compound- as 
long as he can remember. 


SCP-230 prefers to talk about things he considers "good" or "gay". 
SCP-230 has some psychological attachment to the word "gay". 
When asked to describe himself, SCP-230 used the word "gay" six 
times, "gaiety" four times, and the word "gayest" once when 
SCP-230 referred to himself as "the gayest man alive." 


Note by Dr. : SCP-230's preoccupation with the word "gay" has 
nothing to do with sexual orientation. SCP-230 doesn't appear to 
have a sexual orientation due to a lack of interest in sex entirely. 
This makes sense, seeing as SCP-230 experiences the same 
amount of pleasure doing any given activity, making sex 
unnecessary. 


Addendum 230-1: Class 2 personnel researcher was 
accidentally exposed to Compound- during research. was 
detained and sent to treatment for the duration of withdrawal 
symptoms. After one month, was released after being cleared 
by medical staff. Two months later, was found trying to break 
into SCP-230's containment area. reacted violently and 
injured several personnel before she was detained. was 
terminated after examination, and precautions have been made to 
prevent further occurrence; see document 230-4436b.

SCP-231: Special Personnel Requirements 


Item #: SCP-231-7 (See Addendum re: SCP-231-1 through 
SCP-231-6) 


Object Class: Keter 


Site and Personnel Requirements: Under special order of O5- , 
the following addendum is attached to the beginning of the file for 
SCP-231-7. 


All personnel assigned to SCP-231-7 must rotate out for one month 
of psychological counseling after two months on-site. SCP-231-7 is 
to be kept at an undisclosed location. All personnel assigned to 
SCP-231 will be transported there blindfolded from Site-19 by a 
route including no fewer than seven different forms of transportation, 
including but not limited to aircraft, automobile, underground tunnel, 
and . Removal of the blindfold during the transport process is 
grounds for immediate termination. 


Personnel assigned to SCP-231-7 must undergo heavy 
psychological testing before being cleared to enter the site. 
Individuals must score at least 72 points on the Milgram Obedience 
Examination, be unmarried, have no offspring, and express nothing 
less than total loyalty to the Foundation. Normal psychological 
screening procedures against Axis II disorders are waived, so long 
as the Class-D personnel in question has the mental capacity to 
carry out Procedure 110-Montauk as needed. 


Personnel who express sympathy towards SCP-231-7's plight and/ 
or express a desire to rescue or sympathize towards SCP-231-7 will 
be transferred to another project without delay. Any actual rescue 
attempts will be met with immediate termination. Personnel who 
have served on the staff of SCP-231-7's Containment Team are not 


required to divulge that information to others. No official record shall 
be kept of the names of any staff assigned to SCP-231-7, nor will 
said service appear in the personnel files of said staff. 


While on-site, individuals assigned to SCP-231-7 will be issued 
concealing helmets with integrated voice changers to protect their 
identity. On-site staff are not to remove said uniforms in the 
presence of other staff members. Off-duty hours are to be spent in 
private quarters alone. 


Six Class D Personnel are to be assigned to SCP-231-7 each month 
for the purposes of carrying out Procedure 110-Montauk. Violent 
criminals are not to be used for this purpose due to the possibility of 
accidental fatality during the 110-Montauk process. 


Special Containment Procedures: Following repeated escape and 
suicide attempts, and based on the failure of containment for 
SCP-231-1 through 6, containment of SCP-231-7 has been 
amended to the following: SCP-231 is to be contained within a 
soundproof holding cell, adjacent to holding cells for six Class D 
Personnel assigned for the purposes of Procedure 110-Montauk. 
Cameras will monitor every inch of the cell at all times, and must be 
manned 24 hours a day. Malfunctioning monitoring equipment will 
be replaced without delay by psychologically screened staff. Doors 
will be magnetically locked, openable only by positive action by the 
control and monitoring facility. This includes all doors linking the 
main holding cell to those of the six Class D Personnel. 


SCP-231-7 is to be kept restrained to a hospital bed at all times 
except for the purposes of Procedure 110-Montauk. Hydration will 
be provided through IV drip. Feeding will be carried out twice per 
day through feeding tube by approved medical personnel who have 
not taken the Hippocratic Oath. Under no circumstances are 
narcotics, anesthesia, or other unapproved medications to be 
administered to SCP-231-7. 


Procedure 110-Montauk is to be carried out at least once every 24 
hours by Class D Personnel. During Procedure 110-Montauk, at 
least one Security Clearance 4/231 staff member must monitor the 
procedure by camera at all times, although the sound may be turned 


off if the vocalizations of SCP-231-7 become too distressing. 
Following the procedure, all Class D Personnel must return to their 
holding cells or explosive collars will be detonated.

Description: SCP-231-7 is a female between and _ years of 
age, with [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


SCP-231-1 through 7 were retrieved from , , following a 
police raid on a warehouse owned by an organization called the 
Children of the Scarlet King (see article on - - inthe 


newspaper, "Police Raid Satanic Sex Cult, Save 
Seven"). 24 hours after the rescue, SCP-231-1 (real name 

) went into labor pains, giving birth three minutes later to 
SCP- ( ), causing a event resulting in over 
confirmed casualties. Foundation Personnel immediately took 
possession of remaining SCPs 231-2 through 231-7 and, based on 
notebooks recovered from the cult, instituted Procedure 110- 
Montauk to prevent future occurrences. 


Addendum 231-a: Current Status of SCP-231 units. 


* SCP-231-1 (deceased - -_): Killed during initial recovery 

operations while giving birth to SCP- . See Casualty Report 

for Event 231-Alpha for more details. 

SCP-231-2 (deceased - -_ ): Killed during attempt to 

remove fetus of second SCP- specimen, resulting in 

immediate event. See Casualty Report for Event 231- 

Bravo for more details. 

SCP-231-3 (deceased - -_): Self-terminated following a 

prolonged period of distress caused by implementation of 

Procedure 110-Montauk. SCP- immediately underwent a 

event. See Casualty Report for Event 231-Charlie for 

more details. 

¢ SCP-231-4 (deceased - -_ ): Attempted to administer 
SCP-500. Although successful in that all traces of SCP- were 
expelled from the system, expelled remains immediately 


underwent a event, causing numerous casualties 
including SCP-231-4 herself. See Casualty Report for Event 
231-Delta for more details. 

¢ SCP-231-5 (deceased - -_ ): Botched application of 
Procedure 110-Montauk resulted in SCP-231-5 giving birth to 
SCP- one hour later, which then underwent a event. 
See Casualty Report for Event 231-Echo, and Report on 
Destruction of Site 231-Aleph, for more details. Recruitment 
profile of Class D personnel was revised to minimize 
possibility of a second botched Procedure 110-Montauk. 

* SCP-231-6 (deceased - -_ ): Killed during escape attempt 
aided and abetted by Agent ; , who had been 
exhibiting heightened stress levels due to prolonged exposure 
to SCP-231, obtained possession of SCP-[REDACTED] and 
attempted to use said weapon to rescue SCP-231-6 and 
SCP-231-7. Agent was killed in the resulting firefight, 
but a stray round resulted in the termination of SCP-231-6 as 
well. Fetus of SCP-231-6's SCP- then underwent a 
event. In the wake of this incident, O5-level personnel voted 
by unanimous decision to amend personnel policies. See 
Casualty Report for Event 231-Foxtrot for more details. 

* SCP-231-7:As of - - ,SCP-231-7 is successfully 
contained at Site 


Addendum 231-b: Text of missive by O5- 
Dear Friends, 


It has come to my attention that recently, certain rumors 
have surfaced regarding SCP-231. Due to the drop in 
staff morale, | have decided to address some of the more 
prevalent points. 


¢ Yes, Procedure 110-Montauk is as horrible as you 
have heard, which is why only Class D Personnel 
are authorized to carry it out. Yes, it does involve 
brutal [REDACTED]. 

¢ No, assignment to SCP-231 is not intended to test 
your loyalty to the Foundation, your tendencies 
towards , or anything else. 

¢ No, SCP-231 is not a punishment detail.

apparent vector for the physiological changes in those 
exposed to SCP-2068, SCP-2068-1 is a protein- 
sheathed organic molecule that acts much like a virus, 
with three noteworthy differences. 


First, SCP-2068-1 can target any organic substance to 
either make copies of itself, consume for fuel or to build a 
wide variety of chemical structures. Second, SCP-2068-1 
is capable of self-propulsion in most fluids as well as air. 
Third, SCP-2068-1 is capable of a high level of 


coordination and networking with other instances, so that 
clusters of SCP-2068-1 may act in concert to either 
make broad physiological changes, to subsume the 
consciousness of its living host and replace it with its 
own, or even to use dead tissue as a vehicle to move 
and protect itself. 


SCP-2068-1 is nearly impossible to detect due to its size 
as well as the fact that it appears to exhibit 
polymorphism, changing its own structure as needed. 
Currently, the only means to detect whether an individual 
has been infected is through MRI, and only when 
structures can be detected by either the naked eye or 
through electromagnetic emissions. The Overseer 
Council recommended the autopsy and vivisection 
information to be sealed. The fate of those personnel 
who dealt with the containment breach was voted on, 
with a 8-5 decision against euthanasia. 


All survivors of the containment breach and those who 
came into contact with them have been reclassified as 
SCP-2068-2, the designation for potentially infected, and 
are in permanent quarantine. 


Addendum 2068-11: Timeline of events leading to partial 
containment failure, / /20 


1753: 2 D-Class under security escort to SCP-2068 underwent 
detonation while within six meters of Security Station Three. Post 
mortem showed significant portions of their bodies had been 
converted to various explosive and incendiary compounds. 


1755: D-Class in three separate areas began behaving 
aggressively, resulting in riots. Post mortem showed extensive 
modification to the endocrine system as well as to the limbic system, 
which led to excessive bursts of strength and speed without concern 
for self-harm. Furthermore, D-class reanimated after apparent 
death several minutes later, acting as sources for chemical, 
explosive and incendiary attacks against facility and personnel. 


1804: Hampered by fires and suicide bombings by D-Class, 


Foundation first response personnel encountered poisonous and 
acidic compounds sprayed out by injured, dying and reanimated 
rioters. This reduced effectiveness of MOPP gear as well as caused 

Foundation security to spontaneously combust several minutes 
after contact. 


1810: Security personal from Security Station Three arrive on scene, 
begin to open fire on Foundation first response team. Reanimation 
determined to be by SCP-2068 with the corpses serving as ablative 
armor, fuel, and factory for reproduction. Incendiary weapons proven 
most effective over standard firearms and other means. 
Conventional explosives served only as a means to spread 
SCP-2068. 


1820: Foundation forces partially restored containment, on-site 
warhead remained armed. 


2130: Containment restored. 


Addendum 2068-12: Upgrade to Keter approved. A moratorium on 
testing SCP-2068 has been declared, pending O5 approval. 
Neutralization denied, due to possible similarities to activities in 
Ecuador. What appear to have been cosmetic improvements in 
Sucumbios by C Inc. now show significant changes in the local 
ecology with similarities noted in post mortem per the events of / 

/20 . Unfortunately, due to the on-going legal battles and pervasive 
interference by foreign nationals, the Foundation is unable to more 
closely investigate this matter.

SCP-2069: AEGIS 


Item #: SCP-2069 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All recovered instances of 
SCP-2069 have been stored in a re-purposed warehouse at Area-29 
following the completion of mandatory biological and memetic 
hazard screening and quarantine procedures. Transcripts and data 
extracted from SCP-2069 instances are available through the 
Foundation research database and direct access to SCP-2069 
instances may be granted with permission from at least one (1) 
Level 3 Senior Researcher. 


Description: SCP-2069 is a collection of 2,308 inert objects of 
presumed extradimensional origin that were discovered washed up 
on the shore of [REDACTED], Australia during a period of eleven 
months between 2000-04-08 and 2001-03-02. 


Mobile Task Force Sigma-8 ("Beachcombers") was mobilized and 
assigned to recover objects suspected to be instances of SCP-2069; 
the occurrence of such objects increased in regularity before 
suddenly dropping off at the end of February 2001. MTF Sigma-8 
was eventually demobilized and disbanded on 2002-09-01, eighteen 
months after the last confirmed recovery of a SCP-2069 instance. 


A full catalog of confirmed instances of SCP-2069 is available by 
request from the central Area-29 database. 


Addendum 2069-01: Notable Instances of SCP-2069 


Item: SCP-2069-3 — SCP-2069-97 

Date Recovered: 2000-04-18 — 2000-04-21 

Description: Fragments from multiple autonomous tracked drones 
of unknown, possibly non-human manufacture. Tools attached to 
drones appear to indicate mining and/or construction as their 


primary purpose and analysis of similar components suggest that 
the drones were mass-produced via automated assembly. Damaged 
components are consistent with having received fire from small 
arms, explosives, and vehicle-mounted weapons. 


Item: SCP-2069-198 — SCP-2069-267 

Date Recovered: 2000-04-23 — 2000-04-25 

Description: Wreckage from a Sikorsky UH-60L Black Hawk 
helicopter. Analysis of the remains revealed indications of 
modifications specific to those operated by the Foundation, but 
serial numbers did not match those in any Foundation registry. 
Markings on the hull indicate that the aircraft was being operated by 
an organization named AEGIS. Wreckage is consistent with having 
crashed due to suffering a catastrophic loss of engine power. 
Analysis of engine housing shows evidence of high-temperature 
vaporization consistent with exposure to a focused, high-intensity 
laser weapon. 


Item: SCP-2069-466 — SCP-2069-508 

Date Recovered: 2000-05-13 — 2000-05-18 

Description: Fragments from multiple autonomous hybrid multiped/ 
tracked drones of similar manufacture to SCP-2069-3 — 
SCP-2069-97. These instances differ in that they appear to be 
weaponized and feature armored hulls and high-caliber 
electromagnetic coilguns. Components recovered from these 
instances also indicate vastly different optics and sensors, focused 
primarily on acquiring and tracking fast-moving targets as opposed 
to prospecting and mining. Damage inflicted to these fragments are 
mostly consistent with military weapons, but a few instances have 
damage consistent from exposure to [REDACTED] and 
[REDACTED], experimental weapons developed from 1992-1997 in 
a joint research program between the Foundation and Global Occult 
Coalition. 


Item: SCP-2069-821 — SCP-2069-908 

Date Recovered: 2000-05-29 — 2000-06-02 

Description: Wreckage of a McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle 
fighter with markings consistent with those used by Mobile Task 
Force Sigma-9 ("Valkyries") based in [REDACTED]; however, in 
place of the standard Foundation markings, the AEGIS emblem is 


present. Analysis of the wreckage revealed damage consistent with 
impacts from high-velocity coilgun rounds resulting in structural 
compromise of the aircraft's starboard wing. 


Item: SCP-2069-1112 — SCP-2069-1308 

Date Recovered: 2000-06-02 — 2000-06-17 

Description: Partial wreckage of a Nimitz-class supercarrier 
believed to have been the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), also 
commandeered by AEGIS. Analysis indicates that the vessel took 
multiple non-catastrophic hits from high-caliber air-launched coilgun 
rounds before taking a catastrophic hit to its stern from a high- 
intensity laser weapon. 


Item: SCP-2069-1403 — SCP-2069-1499 

Date Recovered: 2001-06-19 — 2001-06-22 

Description: Fragments from what appears to be large, 
autonomous aerial drones of non-human manufacture. Drones are 
powered by highly advanced engines of similar design to ramjets 
and are equipped with electromagnetic coilguns as well as high- 
powered laser turrets. Most notably, several fragments exhibit 
damage consistent with exposure to SCP- or weapons derived 
from the same. 


Item: SCP-2069-2088 

Date Recovered: 2001-02-27 

Description: Damaged remains of a Foundation-standard field- 
issue laptop computer. Unit is water damaged and unusable, but 
hard drive was recovered intact. 

Research Team Note: See Addendum 2069-02 for transcripts of 
recovered data. 


Item: SCP-2069-2283 — SCP-2069-2308 

Date Recovered: 2001-02-28 — 2001-03-02 

Description: Wreckage of a Boeing E-3 Sentry airborne early 
warning & control aircraft. Recovered data from aircraft appears to 
indicate that the aircraft was originally operated by the Global Occult 
Coalition before being re-purposed by unknown organization AEGIS. 
Wreckage appears to have been partially melted as a result of 
exposure to a high-energy event of unknown origin and power. 
Research Team Note: See Addendum 2069-03 for transcripts of 
recovered flight recorder data.

According to the official statement, long-range 
telescopes detected multiple bright emissions on the 
morning of New Year's Day, what is now believed to be 
high-energy engine exhaust from a dozen large objects 
on the edge of our solar system. The statement indicates 
that these objects are traveling at tremendous speed but 
rapidly slowing down in a way that suggests they are 
trying to head straight for us.

February 27, 2001 


| can't sleep, so fuck it, I'm typing this out because | have 
nothing better to do. If by some miracle we survive the 
night, maybe someday some kid or something will want 
to read this. If we don't, then | guess it doesn't matter. 


Where to start? The fuckers hit us first, and they hit us 
hard. Apparently they'd launched the relativistic kill 
vehicles before they started slowing down. It just so 
happened that their engine emissions were so bright that 
they blinded our telescopes to the slugs, which were 
probably painted black and super-cooled anyways. They 


staggered the slugs so that they hit over the course of 
about sixteen hours, which was just long enough for the 
planet to turn and present all of our cities right at them. 
By the time we noticed them coming, it was already too 
late; before we could warn anyone, New York was 
already a ninety-megaton crater. 


| think they were targeting people, just trying to wipe out 
as many of us as they could. Maybe they didn't have 
enough rounds or mass, or maybe they didn't quite get 
how we work. Either way, it's the only way we managed 
to get our shit together, because most of our major sites 
and a couple of other bases like NORAD managed to 
stay in one piece. Of course, that wasn't much 
consolation at the time with half the human population 
dead or dying. 


With most of the civilian governments wiped out or 
crippled, the only big players left were us and the 
Coalition. We put out as many fires as we could, then put 
our heads together and decided the only way any of us 
were going to get through this was if we joined forces 
and took over as much of the worldwide military that was 
left. With only about two months left before the ships got 
to Earth, we didn't have much time to scrounge together 
a defense. 


But we did, and we stockpiled as many weapons as we 
could in the meantime. We hid in holes as the aliens 
drew into orbit, and we waited. Maybe they didn't 
account for our tenacity to live, or maybe they just 
expected us to turn on each other long before we'd ever 
manage to unite to fight a bigger threat. Either way, they 
didn't bother to wipe us out from orbit before they started 
landing. Of the dozen or so ships that they brought, they 
landed half of them in Australia — probably the least 
devastated landmass — and began to set up shop. 


That's when we struck back. 


We fired over half of our nuclear arsenal at them, all at 


* Yes, there are staff members who have been on 
SCP-231 and have successfully transferred out by 
their own request. No, not everyone who's worked 
on SCP-231 is terminated upon leaving the 
project. 

¢ Yes, staff members who have been assigned to 
SCP-231 are allowed to take a Class A Amnesiac 
before leaving the project if so desired. Yes, false 
memories are then implanted. No, none of the 
supposed methods for recovering or detecting 
false memories work. Yes, there are some of you 
who've worked on SCP-231 and don't remember it. 

« No, we have not given up trying to save 

SCP-231-7, but research in that field must be 

carried out with the utmost of caution. Based on 

the increased potency of each subsequent 

event associated with each subsequent SCP- 

specimen, there is a strong possibility that 

SCP-231-7's event could result in an XK 

class end-of-the-world scenario. This information is 

corroborated in notebooks recovered from the 
cultists (see document "Seven Brides, Seven 

Seals," SCP-231-Adjunct B). 

No, putting the poor girl out of her misery is NOT 

an option. Neither is drugging her. She has to be 

aware of what is going on for 110-Montauk to 
work. 


One final note: The Foundation does many distasteful 
things in the completion of our mission, but our mission 
is important enough that the price is one we must pay. 
Containment of SCP-231 is one of our most dangerous 
duties, not because of any direct danger to ourselves 
(like SCP-682) but because of the danger that our 
resolve will fail, that we will allow ourselves to either let 
down our guard due to sympathy for the suffering of an 
innocent, or that we will allow ourselves to become 
monsters through the performance of monstrous acts. 
Just do your jobs, and save the philosophizing for the 
shrink. 


once. Almost none of them got through; most of them 
were shot down by lasers and bullets and god knows 
what else before they got to their targets, but that was 
just a distraction anyways. The warheads we had hidden 
on our satellites vaporized or crippled their ships in orbit 
while their guns were busy tracking missiles, taking away 
their high ground. Then we launched every ship, plane, 
and tank we had at the rest of their grounded ships. 


It almost worked. We wiped out thousands of the things 
only to discover that they were all drones. Someone 
once told me that it was impossible to send humans to 
the stars because you'd never be able to carry enough 
food and water for a thousand-year journey and your 
body would never survive being frozen for that long. The 
only way we'd ever reach another solar system is if we 
sent nothing but eggs and embryos and let robots raise 
our kids when they got there. 


We'd managed to hit two of their bases and wiped out 
most of their worker drones when the shit really hit the 
fan. The robots in charge must have realized that we 
were a much bigger threat than they'd anticipated, and 
they started building real war machines out of materials 
pulled from our own planet. Overnight, we went from 
fighting bugs and crawlers to spider tanks and gunships. 


We fought well. We all fought damned well, but we 
always knew that the aliens were far more advanced 
than we were and they were playing hardball now. We 
started taking serious casualties and our air support 
started running out of missiles and bombs. The brass 
decided to start using experimental tech and stuff we'd 
adapted from weaponized skips, but the more resources 
and reserves we pulled up, the more specialized their 
drones got at killing us in return. Every day, we lose 
good men, but the machines just recycle their parts and 
come back just as strong. 


Sometime around Thanksgiving, the machines managed 
to jam our comms; the egg-heads fixed them as quickly 


as they could, but by the time we pulled our shit out of 
the fire, Mike and | were the only ones left out of our 
original squad. By the time Christmas rolled around, we'd 
been reinforced, but... well, some of the replacements 
you can barely tell were once human. We managed to 
break through around the time the new year rolled 
around and take down another one of their grounded 
ships, but that's when their aerial hunter-killers started 
showing up and we had to retreat once more. 


We're going to push with everything we have left 
tomorrow. We've never been more desperate; there's 
rumblings and rumors among the officers that the brass 
have something really big planned, but | don't even want 
to Know any more, not after | saw what they did to José 
and Tom after the first time they died. | know we have to 
win, that there will be nothing left if we fail, but at what 
cost?

SCP-2070: The Fingers of God 


Item #: SCP-2070 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to their apparent 
omnipresence, containment of SCP-2070-1 and -2 is focused on 
suppression of knowledge. Disinformation campaigns intended to 
discredit and/or totally drown out anyone who reports discoveries of 
SCP-2070-1 and -2 are to be maintained at all times. These 
campaigns consist of two components: 


¢ A barrage of variously plausible, but false, claims; 
¢ Extensive debate regarding these claims which tends to 
expose the claimants as frauds. 


Mobile Task Force Eta-121 ("Navel Gazers") is responsible for 
collecting and subsequently sabotaging all relevant cosmological 
data as it is acquired. Members of MTF Eta-121 are to report their 
findings to embedded Foundation agents who have assumed 
leading roles in modern theoretical and observational cosmology. 
These agents are responsible for formulating and advocating for the 
standard cover explanations. Astronomers who persistently report 
findings inconsistent with said cover explanations are to be 
administered class-B amnestics and have their research altered to 
conform to consensus. 


[SUBMIT LOGIN CREDENTIALS TO CONTINUE: LEVEL 4/2070 CLE 


Extraterrestrial activity on Earth is to be monitored for 
knowledge of SCP-2070-1 and -2. Any confirmation of 
such knowledge is grounds for implementation of 
Protocol 167-Tully. 


SCP-2070-3 is held in Research Bunker-477 at Site-280. 
Two (2) armed guards are to be posted outside the 


bunker at all times to prevent unauthorized entry. 
Requests for study have been suspended until further 
notice or until Protocol 167-Tully is enacted; in either 
case, proposals for experiments must be submitted to 
Site Director Arnheim no fewer than twenty-four (24) 
hours prior to the requested time. The bunker is to be 
monitored at all times by one (1) level-4/2070 research 
staff for anomalous tachyon emission. Any such activity 
must be reported immediately to Site Director Arnheim 
and MTF Eta-121 Leader Rose. Following 
experimentation or report of anomalous emission, MTF 
Eta-121 Leader Rose is to report back as soon as 
possible on any shifts in the observed large-scale galaxy 
distribution. 


Research Site-79 is to observe the SCP-2070-2 instance 
inthe galaxy cluster following any SCP-2070-3 
activity. 


Description: SCP-2070 is the collective designation for several 
anomalies related to modern observational cosmology. 


SCP-2070-1 is the observed tendency of the distribution of galaxies 
in the universe to be elongated and pointed toward our position on 
Earth. This tendency manifests itself as extended lines of galaxies 
resembling arrows (see Figure 1). SCP-2070-1 instances are known 
in the astronomical community as "fingers of God." Public discussion 
of SCP-2070-1 is to explain them as an effect of galaxies’ velocities 
on observed redshifts on cosmological scales. 1 


SCP-2070-2 is the observed formation of galaxies into coherent, 
recognizable pictographs and symbols. Examples of SCP-2070-2 
instances include: 


¢ A stick figure representation of a human being (see Figure 2) 

¢ A miniature depiction of the sun and its eight planets, as well 
as several of the larger Kuiper belt objects and two as-yet 
unobserved bodies 

¢ In three instances, characters consistent with Shang-dynasty- 
era oracle bone script. Rough translations of messages 
include "WE ARE KINGS", "WE ARE SPECIAL", and "WE 


ARE THE CENTER" 


Although instances of SCP-2070-2 are never perfectly formed, they 
are consistent with their identified shapes to within observational 
uncertainties. At least one instance of SCP-2070-2 has been 
identified in each major galaxy cluster, with suspected instances in 
smaller formations of galaxies pending further data collection. Public 
discussion of SCP-2070-2 instances is to dismiss them as random 
formations among meaningless noise, and only instances which 
could conceivably be disguised as such are to be made available to 
the public.

SCP-2070-3 is a hinged box constructed of jade and an 
unidentified alloy measuring 1.0050 m on each side and 
0.335 m tall.2 SCP-2070-3 remains locked by an 
unknown mechanism under normal circumstances. The 
top face is covered in symbols that correspond to no 
known language, as well as a sequence of Shang- 
dynasty-era script apparently describing the Hubble 
expansion.3 Touching symbols on the outside of the box 
that correspond to instances of SCP-2070-2 identified in 
the galaxy cluster will open the box. The inside 
contains a layer of sand 4.672 cm deep. Drawing a 
symbol in this sand and closing SCP-2070-3 will cause 
three things to happen: 


* The box will emit a directed burst of tachyons.4 

* The symbol(s) drawn in the sand will manifest as 
an instance of SCP-2070-2 in a part of space 
along the direction of the tachyon burst. Instances 
of SCP-2070-1 in the surrounding region will 
appear and/or become more pronounced. 

¢ The instances of SCP-2070-2 inthe galaxy 
cluster will change to correspond to different 
symbols on SCP-2070-3. 


How SCP-2070-3 accomplishes this retrocausal 
reorganization is unknown at this time. Further study of 
the effects of targeted tachyon emission in general is 


currently marked as a LEVEL-6 Research Priority. 


SCP-2070-3 was unearthed during an archeological dig 
in Province, China in the year 19 . Its anachronistic 
markings led to it being stored as an anomalous object in 
the Site-230 Vault until Level-4/2070 Researcher 
identified three of the symbols as matching instances of 
SCP-2070-2 found inthe galaxy cluster. Subsequent 
experimentation established its anomalous properties 
and its link to SCP-2070-1 and -2.

MEMORANDUM TO ALL SCP-2070 
PERSONNEL 
/ /19 


Fellow scientists, 


Amidst all our data, all our little daily fights with 
observation and analysis and theory, | think it's 
easy to lose sight of the fact that science is an 
unavoidably human endeavor. We defend our 
conclusions not just because we believe them 
to be right, but because we want them to be 
right. Think of how hard physicists in the 20th 
century worked to keep the luminiferous aether 
hypothesis alive. Once you have an idea of 
how reality should be, it can be the hardest 
thing in the world to overcome. 


Of course, all of you know the danger of 
preconceptions. We as a community fought 
the battle against geocentrism many centuries 
ago. That fight gave us the Copernican 
principle: the assumption that there is nothing 
special about our location in the Universe. The 
Copernican principle has since become one of 
the fundamental bases of astronomy. It's so 
familiar to us that most of you probably never 


think about it. 


The ancient Chinese astronomers had never 
heard of the Copernican principle, and 
SCP-2070 leads me to believe they had no 
equivalent. When our culture realized our non- 
central place in the cosmos, we rebelled 
against it but suffered the indignity without 
violent objection and have suffered it ever 
since. The Shang dynasty took a different 
approach and altered space itself to restore 
their special place. Arrows pointing to us, 
symbols and codes and pictures - the 
iconography of a people striving towards 
godhood. 


But they were not gods, and they did nof think 
through their actions. The ancient astronomers 
didn't just leave their mark, they left a trail for 
every being in the universe to follow. They 
drew maps of our solar system, of the solar 
neighborhood, even rough sketches of the 
Milky Way. Any life outside of our own planet 
is bound to get a little curious about where the 
arrows are pointing. 


So far, research on the effects of SCP-2070-3 
has been conservative and measured - just 
enough to establish the link to SCP-2070-1 
and -2. As Senior Researcher, | and Site 
Director Arnheim have sought to keep our 
hands out of the cosmic web as much as 
possible. But if we find any reason to believe 
extraterrestrial life has followed the directions 
we so kindly left for them, we're going to have 
to take a more aggressive approach. Outlined 
below is our joint proposal; as always, 
feedback is welcome. 


PROTOCOL 167-TULLY 


GOAL: To wipe away humans' cosmological 
footprint. 


GROUNDS FOR IMPLEMENTATION: 
Discovery of extraterrestrial knowledge of 
SCP-2070. 


DESCRIPTION: Protocol 167-Tully is a plan in 
two phases. 


Phase |: Increased experimentation on the 
functionality of SCP-2070-3. In this Phase, Site 
Director Arnheim will accept research 
proposals, which she and Senior Researcher 
Bryce may choose to approve. Approved 
proposals will be given LEVEL-7 Research 
Priority and the acquiring of relevant 
astronomical data following experiments will 
be fast-tracked. A successful experiment is 
one that returns all or part of space to a 
homogeneous distribution. 


Phase II: Reverse-engineering of SCP-2070-3 
with the goal of building a device capable of 
undoing SCP-2070-3's effects. As further 
experimentation with SCP-2070-3 is likely to 
be impossible following full Phase II execution, 
Phase II is to be attempted only if Phase | fails 
to produce favorable results within five (5) 
years of research. 


| have no idea what a cosmic restructuring on 
this scale would entail, and I'm sure none of us 
are eager to find out - but if it means 
preventing the end of the world, we have to be 
willing to try.

Addendum 231-c: Update 


231-07's emotional response to Procedure 110-Montauk appears to 
be reduced recently, despite proper execution of said procedure, 
increasing danger of SCP- undergoing a event. Two 
options have been proposed. 


1. Development of a new containment procedure with higher 
emotional response than Procedure 110-Montauk. 


2. Administration of a Class A Amnestic to SCP-231-7, allowing for a 
return to base emotional response state. Said memory modification 
is to be administered during execution of Procedure 110-Montauk to 
maintain heightened emotional state following memory reset. 

Please advise. 


Dr. 


Addendum 231-d: Decision 
Carry out Option 2 at the first available opportunity.

Addendum 231-e: Aftermath 


Option 2 was carried out. SCP-231-7's emotional state returned to 
100% efficacy. Dr. | subsequently committed suicide due to 
heightened emotional stress. Will continue analysis of efficacy of

SCP-2071: Sir Michael Cavendish, in the Guise of the 
King of Serpents 


Item #: SCP-2071 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2071 is stored in Vault 86 
at Site-11. Vault 86 is to be kept at a constant temperature of -10°C. 
Tests involving SCP-2071 and reptiles require approval from both 
the current Site Director of Site-11 and the head of SCP-2071 
research. 


Maintenance staff assigned to Site-11’s storage vaults are to be 
trained in reptile handling in the event of a containment incident, and 
a stock of snake and amphibian antivenin is to be maintained in 
Site-11’s medical wing. 


SCP-2071 may only be transported in a sealed container and by 
personnel wearing suitable protective clothing to prevent any contact 
between SCP-2071 and exposed skin. 


Description: SCP-2071 is a full-length portrait measuring 106cm by 
48cm, entitled Sir Michael Cavendish in the Guise of the King of 
Serpents. The painting is a work in oil paints on canvas, purportedly 
painted in 1799 by Adam William Jardine as a portrait of English 
military officer and baronet Michael Cavendish, though it does not 
appear to be a factual likeness. 


The painting’s central subject is a male humanoid figure in 18th- 
Century British military dress seated at a table, facing to the left of 
the painting, with his right arm resting on the tabletop and holding a 
cup or goblet, his left arm by his side. The figure is clearly not 
human, and possesses mottled green skin, scales on portions of the 
face and hands, eyes with yellow irises and vertically slitted pupils, 
and no hair. The scene is illuminated by light from a window to the 
right of the subject, and a second, indistinct humanoid figure is 


visible standing behind the subject’s right shoulder, obscured by 
darkness. 


Skin contact with the painted surface of SCP-2071 is fatal. Through 
an undetermined process, individuals exposed to SCP-2071 in this 
fashion begin to produce a number of fast-acting neurotoxins within 
their own bloodstream, leading rapidly to death by respiratory failure. 
Examination of toxins found in specimens exposed to SCP-2071 
indicate a wide variety of toxins are produced, some of which appear 
to be the active components of a variety of snake venoms. 


SCP-2071 causes significant behavioural alterations in any member 
of the class Reptilia. Reptiles within a certain distance of SCP-2071 
will attempt to reach it by any means available to them. The exact 
distance of this effect is difficult to ascertain accurately and appears 
to vary over time, but is believed to extend at least 5 kilometres 
around the painting at all times. Reptiles affected by SCP-2071 will 
attempt to travel to its location even at the risk of injury. 


Reptiles affected by SCP-2071 congregate around the painting and 
largely remain motionless. Reptiles in SCP-2071’s presence do not 
appear to require food, water, exterior heat sources, or sleep, and 
despite their lack of movement tend to remain in good physical 
health. SCP-2071-affected reptiles react violently to attempts to 
remove them from its presence, though they are otherwise largely 
nonresponsive. 


Prolonged exposure to SCP-2071 causes physiological changes in 
reptiles, usually beginning after several days of continued exposure. 
Typically, this results in increases in size, and the development of 
venom glands in non-venomous species. 


Addendum 2071-1: Abridged test log for SCP-2071: 
Test 2071-8 Date: / / 


Rationale: Analysis of physical changes in SCP-2071- 
affected reptiles over long periods of time. 

Procedure: A single female Green Iguana (/guana 
iguana) measuring 1.4m in length was placed in 
SCP-2071's chamber (cooling of Vault 86 was 


suspended for the duration of the experiment). The 
specimen was selected for its size, herbivorous nature, 
and docility. The iguana was monitored regularly by a 
qualified herpetologist and veterinarian throughout the 
experiment. 

Results: Growth in the specimen was first detected on 
day 3 of the experiment. By day 4 of the experiment, the 
specimen had increased to 1.45m in length and had 
begun to develop venom glands. By day 6, the subject's 
rate of growth had accelerated - specimen was now 
1.6m in length. Growth continued unabated until day 28, 
by which time the specimen was 3.4m in length. 
Between day 30 and day 34, the parietal eye of the 
specimen underwent a significant metamorphosis into a 
large, seemingly functional lidded eye. 


On day 47, research staff discovered that the specimen 
appeared to be carrying eggs. As Site Director Feccini 
had not sanctioned the reproduction of an anomalous 
lifeform when the experiment began, he requested that 
the experiment be halted. The specimen was 
subsequently euthanised and autopsied. 


The autopsy revealed that substantial internal 
modifications had been made to the specimen's 
reproductive track, allowing it to bear live young. A single 
foetus was found in the specimen's uterus. This foetus 
was reptilian, with a humanoid body plan, developed 
cerebrum, scaled skin, slitted eyes, pointed teeth, anda 
vestigial tail. The genetic makeup of the foetus did not 
match the mother, and some sections of its genome 
closely resembled the human genome. A full report on 
the biology of both specimen and foetus can be found in 
document 2071-Padraig. 


Addendum 2071-2: SCP-2071 is one of 4 known paintings by 
Adam William Jardine believed by the Foundation to be both 
currently extant and to possess anomalous properties, and the only 
one presently in containment. Of the other paintings, The Rood and 
the Pit (E-456) is believed to be in the possession of the Horizon 


Initiative, while The Hunting Party (E-459) and Celia Penrose, in the 
Guise of a Fountain (E-460) are in the possession of an unknown 
private individual. 


Jardine was a minor English painter active between 1790 and 1819, 
when he is believed to have died of tuberculosis. Contemporary 
sources indicate that Jardine was widely believed to be mentally ill 
and suffered from visual hallucinations. 


The portrait is not believed to have had any anomalous properties at 
the time it was painted. It is unknown when these properties 
manifested, but SCP-2071 remained unknown to the Foundation 
until / /1925, when it was recovered after two people died as a 
result of an attempt to place the painting, along with others, in the 
public trust in lieu of inheritance tax. 


Addendum 2071-3: Extracts from the diary of Michael Cavendish: 


...| have been informed of a painter, a Mr. Jardine, from 
Northumbria. | am told the man is quite mad, and 
possessed of visions of a spiritual bent. He claims to be 
able to see the souls of people both living and dead, and 
to put his visions down in pencil sketches and oils. His 
work has been recommended to me by a friend, and by 
that same friend | have been able to engage this Mr. 
Jardine in dialogue. 


In person, Mr. Jardine seemed in rather good humour for 
a madman. He talked rather sensibly, though he seemed 
somewhat troubled, as if trying to suppress his nerves, 
and seldom looked directly at me the whole time. Indeed 
he seemed so sensible, if somewhat shy, that | began to 
wonder if the supposed insanity was genuine. But when 
he showed me his portfolio, | was astounded. Jardine 
had conjured up a whirl of grotesques and wonders such 
as would awe anyone living. 


Despite his obvious talent, he told me that his work sells 
poorly; | am told that there are few in the country with the 
discernment to see his work as anything more than a 

perversity. As such, he was more than happy to offer his 


services to me upon seeing that | enjoyed his work, 
provided | provide payment regardless of his own view of 
the eventual portrait. This | am more than happy to 
accept. If Jardine is mad or a charlatan, then it will be a 
wonderful and curious indulgence; if not, then what is 
more worthy of payment than a glimpse into my own 
soul? 


...| promised to pay the man regardless of my own 
opinion, and pay him | have. That said, my own opinion 
is less than favourable. The damned painter has 
rendered me as some sort of hideous freak, a 
combination of lizard and human. It is beyond what | had 
envisaged when | commissioned the portrait. It cannot be 
displayed. 


If the man has visions, | am now certain that they stem 
from a disordered mind rather than a divine visitation. | 
am, at least, convinced that | know enough of my own 
soul to know that | am no snake, and that this painting is 
not a reflection even of my principal sins. 


The more | look at it, the more | believe that the painting 
is a poor likeness. Disregarding the obvious, the figure in 
the portrait is too gaunt, and looks far too old to be a true 
likeness. This was a waste of time and money... 


On / /1829, Mary Cavendish, wife of Michael Cavendish, was 
found dead in their home by a servant. The cause was, at the time, 
believed to be a stroke, though later events indicate that she was in 
fact poisoned by her husband. Michael Cavendish, by now suffering 
from an undetermined chronic illness, committed suicide in 1842 by 
drinking poison, confessing in his suicide note to his wife's murder. 
Suggestions that a large number of snakes were found alongside 
Michael Cavendish’s body are not verifiable. 


The following is an extract from Michael Cavendish's suicide note: 


...| confess only that the truth might be known. | do not 
hope to save my soul by atonement. | do not believe in 
Hell any more. If, all those years ago, that painter saw 


me, in my youthful vigor, for the bitter, spiteful creature | 
became, then this was all predestined, and so no just 
god could damn me... 


...| do not take this measure out of guilt. | do it to escape 
my present purgatory. | hate my current life, but | do not 
fear death. After all, a snake can slip out of its skin and 
become young again. If | am the King of Serpents, as 
that bastard said | was, why shouldn't | do the same?

SCP-2072: Prime Ministerial Pet Cemetery 


Item #: SCP-2072 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: At least one Foundation staff 
member (designated Level 1-SCP-2072 or higher) must be present 
and armed with a standard-issue sidearm at all times. Access to 
SCP-2072 is restricted from the general public. 


Instances of SCP-2072 are to be covered with opaque, waterproof 
materials at all times. If the covering on instances SCP-2072-8 to 
SCP-2072-22 is disturbed to the degree that the text on said 
instances is readable, staff replacing the coverings must be 
administered amnestics immediately after said replacement. 


Following the next change in the Prime Ministership of Montenegro, 
the assigned staff member will exhume the corpse buried beneath 
SCP-2072-8 and collect a sufficient sample for genetic testing to 
ensure continued accuracy of SCP-2072. 


Description: SCP-2072 is the former Garden of Love Pet Memorial 
Park, located approximately one mile south of , Florida, United 
States. Upon the discovery of human remains beneath the northeast 
section of headstones in 1977, Foundation Local Mobile Task Force 
352-Lamedh (“Stump Knockers”) seized control of the area to 
investigate. After discovering that four of the corpses located in the 
cemetery were genetically identical and buried under the same 
name, the Foundation opened a Provisional Containment Site on the 
premises. 


The full significance of SCP-2072 was not known until June 1991, 
when a routine check of international political leaders’ genetic 
records discovered that Prime Minister of Montenegro Milo 
Dukanovié (b. 1962, Prime Minister from 1991—98, 2003-06, 2008-— 
10 and 2012-present [as of 2014- - ]) was a genetic and name 


match for the first, third, fifth and seventh corpses located in 
SCP-2072, whose headstones are designated SCP-2072-1, -3, -5, 
and -7. The headstones and corpses have correctly reflected the 
holders of the office of Prime Minister of Montenegro from the 
dissolution of the former Yugoslavia to the present day. As 
SCP-2072-8 through SCP-2072-22 potentially represent future 
Prime Ministers of Montenegro, and SCP-2072-1, -2, -3, -5, -6, -7 
and -23 contain dates of death and corpses of still-living political 
figures, the information in SCP-2072 is to be strictly controlled to 
prevent potential issues of causality.

Addendum 231-f: Continued Analysis of Efficacy of Treatment 


After some analysis, | have determined that it is not necessary to 
perform memory modification every time Procedure 110-Montauk is 
carried out. In fact, it is better to delay for some time before re- 
administering the agent. Analysis of Subject 231-7's emotional 
response indicates that efficacy of Procedure 110-Montauk seems 
to peak between the third and fourth performance of the procedure: 
the dread of anticipation of events seems to heighten emotional 
response for a time, before familiarity with the procedure begins to 
lessen the efficacy of treatment. My recommendation is that Class A 
Amnestics be administered once a week during Procedure 110- 
Montauk. The calendar has been modified accordingly.

SCP-2073: One Last Lullaby 


Item #: SCP-2073 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The current iteration of 
SCP-2073-A remains contained in a standard Humanoid 
Containment Cell within the Esoteric Research Sector of Area-08 
(Deck 02). Until such a time that SCP-2073-A may produce a 
biological son, its location and properties will be accessible only to 
Clearance Level 4 personnel and authorized 2/2073 personnel from 
Area-08. 


Were SCP-2073 to occur outside Foundation control or SCP-2073-A 
to escape containment, Esoteric Mobile Task Force Q-4 ("Red Net") 
will be warned and deployed immediately to re-instate containment. 


Description: SCP-2073 is a set of hazardous reality alteration 
phenomena centered around a humanoid entity, designated 
SCP-2073-A. 


SCP-2073 events consist of multiple Localized Reality Shifts, 
consistently described as: themed (materialization of dark-colored 
matter forming sinew-like veins on surfaces of baseline reality 
objects, frequently in recognizable patterns, and the manifestation of 
mist and clouds of ashes); observable; and non-congruent with pre- 
existing reality (usually causing moderate to severe damage to 
nearby structures, due to the emergence of SCP-2073 matter 
through static surfaces). Witnesses have often compared Localized 
Reality Shifts to earthquakes with successive replicas that grow in 
intensity and range. 


SCP-2073 will occur only if: 


¢ SCP-2073-A has produced a biological son in previous 
years. 1 


* SCP-2073-A becomes convinced that SCP-2073 will occur, 
and that if left unchecked SCP-2073 will trigger an unspecified 
XK end-of-the-world scenario. 


Once SCP-2073 manifests, SCP-2073-A will typically seek to 
commit suicide while in close proximity to its firstborn son. This 
event, designated "Lullaby Event", occurs between 3 and 10 years 
after the latter's birth; at this point, its son will become a new, latent 
instance of SCP-2073-A. 


If a Lullaby Event is delayed, SCP-2073 will become fully manifest 
after two to ten hours; SCP-2073 reality alterations at this point will 
be able to severely damage buildings, alter local seismic activity 
and/or cause meteorological anomalies (such as the appearance of 
winds in excess of 50 kph and clouds of ash). Observed progression 
of the area affected by these Localized Reality Shifts indicates that, 
if unwilling to or prevented from completing an Lullaby Event for long 
periods of time, SCP-2073-A will become the focal point of an XK- 
class end-of-the-world scenario due to the SCP-2073 phenomena. 


Measures to facilitate or enforce this willingness have been 
deployed in the current iteration of SCP-2073-A.

SCP-232: Jack Proton's Atomic Zapper 


Item #: SCP-232 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-232 is to be kept ina 
locked safe in the Cognitohazard wing of Site 73. When not in use 
for testing, its batteries are to be removed. When batteries are not 
installed, SCP-232 may be handled safely by any authorized staff 
member. The Foundation is to monitor online auction houses and 
dealers of vintage toys, and acquire any products of the same model 
as SCP-232 for testing and disposal. Any other instances of 
SCP-232 discovered are to be archived appropriately. 


When batteries are installed, personnel other than D-Class are not 
to handle SCP-232 for any period longer than necessary to install 
and remove batteries. Staff members who have been exposed to 
works in the Jack Proton franchise, in any format, are not to handle 
SCP-232 for any period of time while batteries are installed. D-Class 
carrying SCP-232 for testing purposes are to be monitored at all 
times and terminated if SCP-232-related behavior should pose a 
security risk. 


The copyright, publication, and merchandising rights of the Jack 
Proton novels and all spinoff media are to be held by Springfield 
Crown Publishing, a Foundation front company, for the purpose of 
keeping the works out of print, thereby preventing activation of 
anomalous properties in any SCP-232 instances that may exist 
outside containment. In the event of any public occurrences of 
SCP-232 behavior, the Foundation shall liaise with local law 
enforcement authorities to recover the artifact and issue Class-A 
amnestics to affected parties as appropriate. The Foundation shall 
encourage world governments to enact extensions to international 
copyright law as necessary to prevent the Jack Proton franchise 
from lapsing into the public domain; in the event that any Jack 
Proton franchise material becomes public domain, DDoS techniques 


SCP-2074: Sinkbait 


Item #: SCP-2074 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2074 is not dangerous. 
Information or expeditions to SCP-2074 by the public should be 
monitored and diverted if necessary. Currently, the Foundation 
believes that at least one person or group is aware of, or may be 
monitoring or controlling, the anomalous features of SCP-2074. 
Attempts are underway to identify this party. 


Description: SCP-2074 is a hydrothermal black smoker vent 
located in the Southern Explorer Ridge seismographic area, west of 
Vancouver Island, in the Pacific Ocean. It is located at a depth of 
1770 meters in the bathypelagic zone. 


The anomaly was identified from a buoy probe array operated by the 
United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for 
the purpose of monitoring acoustic activity from nearby vents, which 
had a positive result in the Morisato-Vaux Signal Test (MVST) 
program.! The Foundation isolated the anomalous signal's source 
as SCP-2074. 


An extended effort on the part of Dr. and Dr. concluded 
that certain modulations in activity (output of minerals and 
superheated water) correspond to syllables in four languages. 
During active periods, the “message” is repeated for 16 hours in 
English, Spanish, Nuu-chah-nulth (indigenous language from the 
Nuu-chah-nulth people of western Vancouver Island), and Ditidaht 
(indigenous language from the Ditidaht people of southwestern 
Vancouver Island) with Russian loanwords. 


Attached to the ocean floor 4.6 meters from SCP-2074 is a heavily 
corroded but functional electronic device measuring 30 cm x 30 cm 
x 10 cm. The device has no obvious controls, inputs, or outputs 


aside from an illuminated seven-segment display panel. The device 
is unlabelled, and its purpose, origin, and manufacturers are 
unknown, as well as its connection to (or interactions with) 
SCP-2074. Classification as an anomalous object has been 
postponed, pending further data. 


Addendum 2074-A 


12/16/201 
The first positively identified signal is translated as follows: 


UNDENIABLE PROOF OF THE HYDROTHERMAL 
ORIGINS OF LIFE 


This appears to be a reference to the abiogenetic theory of the 
origins of life on earth from undersea hydrothermal vents. A 
remotely operated exploration vessel (ROEV) is sent to SCP-2074 
to investigate, and finds no evidence of unusual activities or 
features. Several samples from the nearby area are collected and 
determined not to be unusual. 


1/29/201 
A second period of anomalous activity begins and is translated as 
follows: 


EVIDENCE THAT ALIENS VISITED EARTH 
THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO 


A second ROEV is deployed, and takes several observations 
(including video) from SCP-2074 and 0.5 km of the surrounding 
area. Nothing aside from the vent activity has markedly changed 
from the last exploration. The message itself, given the established 
knowledge of SCP-2005, SCP-471, and SCP-163, was observed not 
to be highly insightful. 


During this expedition, the electronic device is also observed for the 
first time, due to the ROEV's alternate angle of approach. At this 
time, the illuminated display panel reads "00002." 


2/07/201 

A third ROEV is deployed to the area during an inactive period. Only 
changes other than the vent activity is that the display panel now 
reads "00003." 


Further translated signals from SCP-2074 include the following: 
POSSIBLE UNDERSEA WORMHOLE TO EUROPA

CORE 


INSANELY DEEP HOLE FILLED WITH MOLTEN ROCK 
BUY PELAGI-COLA 


9/13/201 

A fourth ROEV is deployed to investigate SCP-2074 and the nearby 
area during an active period. While the surrounding area is 
unchanged, the aforementioned display panel now reads "00005" 
and appears to have been cleared of barnacles and debris. All 
further expeditions to SCP-2074 have been postponed.

SCP-2075: The Way of All Flesh 


Item #: SCP-2075 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2075 is to be held in 
isolation within a Containment Unit capable of being hermetically 
sealed when required. Containment Unit is to undergo remote 
decontamination daily (more if deemed necessary). SCP-2075 is to 
be supplied with bottled water and nutrient capsules via a pneumatic 
tube three times a day. All interactions with SCP-2075 are to be 
done by remote microphone. 


Observational windows are constructed of laminated ballistics glass. 
Any damage to the containment cell must be repaired immediately 
by personnel equipped with Level A hazmat gear. SCP-2075-A are 
to be terminated via incineration and disposed of per hazardous 
waste protocols unless authorized for research by Site Director. 
Biopsies are to be stored within individual cryogenic storage units. 


SCP-2075 has been contained at Sector-G of Biological 
Containment Site-66 since its transfer from GRU Division "P" in / 
/1991 in wake of the USSR's dissolution. 


Description: SCP-2075 is currently a sixty-three-year-old 
Caucasian male formerly known as Aleksei Kravchuk - a security 
guard employed by GRU Division "P". SCP-2075 exhales a 
microbial pathogen capable of extreme neurological alterations. An 
individual infected by SCP-2075 is classified as SCP-2075-A and is 
considered an extension of SCP-2075. SCP-2075 is able to exert its 
anomalous effects regardless of distance after initial infection and 
will maintain control indefinitely unless SCP-2075-A is destroyed. 
Experiments using D-Class have suggested SCP-2075 is able to 
simultaneously use SCP-2075-A as it would its own body. If the 
primary host is destroyed, the surviving SCP-2075-A will become 
the acting SCP-2075, exhibiting its anomalous pathogen. SCP-2075 


is Unable to control more than one SCP-2075-A at a time. 


SCP-2075 has shown an eager willingness to communicate with 
Foundation personnel. SCP-2075 claims to have been born in the 
year 1204 CE.! Although there exist no records in which to verify its 
claim, if true then SCP-2075 is estimated to have been 787 years of 
age at time of its transfer into Foundation custody in / /1991. 


SCP-2075 prefers to speak in Russian but has also revealed itself 
fluent in English, German, and an archaic Uralic language that does 
not coincide with any modern known variants of the Uralic language 
family. Subject is literate but has made no request for any literature 
or writing implements.

SCP-2075: Ah. Very much so. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Good. | would like to 
ask you some questions. Please answer 
truthfully. 


SCP-2075: Of course. A man of honesty, | am. 
Ask your questions...doctor. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Noted. First, what is 
your name? 


SCP-2075: Does it matter? You will call me 


what you will. | am Karcist Varis. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Karcist? Not your 
birth name, | presume? 


SCP-2075: It is a title, doctor. But as true a 
name | might surrender. The name that once 
belonged to this face is ill suiting, no? 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Very well. Do you 
know why you are here? 


SCP-2075: For same reason Tsars keep me in 
dungeon. For same reason Stalin experiment. 
You are afraid, doctor. Much as they were. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Please explain your 
anomalous nature, if able. 


SCP-2075: One might as well explain the sun 
to the moon. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Try me. 


SCP-2075: When | was small, the Church 
spoke of two worlds; one of flesh and one of 
spirit. This is incorrect. There is no perfection 
in duality. | learned of the oneness of all. Tell 
me: what does the color yellow feel like? | 
know you can state some science but no 
words will translate the experience. My nature 
is much the same. 


| can show you. Come inside, doctor. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: | think we'll stop here.

something about a fire in '55? 


SCP-2075: This was before GRU Division "P". 
Before Lenin, Stalin or revolution. It was the 
Time of Troubles, yes?2 


| was proselytizing in Novgorod. Spreading the 
good word. A massacre had occurred just 
thirty years prior and | could feel the mounds

All were pleased to receive me. 


But not one, dear doctor. | had one detractor. 
Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Please continue. 


SCP-2075: An Archpriest of the Eastern 
Orthodoxy, he was. Declared me witch, 
heretic, and Bogomil.3 Of which | was none! 
Pfft. The audacity of that man. 


He whipped mob into frenzy. Torn to pieces, |

Dr. Albert Cronenberg: So you say. Explain 
to me your experience. 


SCP-2075: Do you die if you lose finger? 
[Chuckles] A very humbling experience, to 


observe a piece of yourself destroyed. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: An interesting tale but 
that was not my question. When were you first 
contained by GRU Division "P"?

Interviewed: SCP-2075 
Interviewer: Dr. Albert Cronenberg 


Foreword: Forty-third interview with 
SCP-2075. Conversation to focus on missing 
origin and extent of anomalous abilities. 


<Begin Log, [14:30]> 
SCP-2075: Doctor. Always a pleasure. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Yes. Of course. | 
wanted to discuss your abilities. 


SCP-2075: Ah. Dear doctor. We have been 
over this, have we not? 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Have you always 
been able to control others? 


SCP-2075: It is a gift. One received long ago. 
Touched by lon, Grand Karcist of Adytum, | 
was embraced into the Faith. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Yes. I've gathered 
you have built some superstitions around your 
ability. 


SCP-2075: | knew you were heathen from 
start. You surround yourself with abominable 
machines. Like those who wish to fix what was 
never broken. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Broken? 
SCP-2075: Followers of Mekhane. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: | take it you are 
aware of the Church of the Broken God then? 


SCP-2075: Very much so. They are... 
anathema. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: We will discuss them 
later then. Tell me, who is lon? 


SCP-2075: High Priest of Adytum. The Grand 
Karcist. Our Immortal, Most Beloved Father. 


Perhaps, dear doctor, you shall meet his 
Holiness one day. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: What is Adytum? 


SCP-2075: Adytum? It is a very old city. The 
way to the Promised Land can only be 
accessed through the love and unity of lon. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: | see. | would like to 
ask you about your anomaly again. 


SCP-2075: GRU called them "meat puppets". 
They are not puppets. We are united as one. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: How does the 
pathogen work? Are you transferring your 
consciousness or altering their own to suit your 
needs? 


SCP-2075: Dear doctor, you are not very 


and/or mass deployment of Class-E amnestics is authorized as 
appropriate. 


Description: SCP-232 is a mass-produced children's toy of early 
1950s manufacture, composed primarily of tin and a battery- 
powered electric light apparatus, with an exterior painted to 
resemble a laser gun of the type featured in popular science fiction 
of the early 20th century. A hinged section at the base of SCP-232's 
handle opens to accept two standard AA alkaline batteries. When 
batteries have been installed correctly and the trigger is pulled, a 
small red electric light in the barrel lights up. SCP-232's cognition- 
affecting properties become active whenever SCP-232 is picked up 
and held or carried by a human being while it has working batteries 
installed. 


Within 5-30 seconds of picking up SCP-232, the person handling it 
will begin speaking in English, regardless of any previous fluency 
with the language or lack thereof, in a manner resembling the 
speech patterns of pre-teen and/or adolescent American youth 
culture circa 1920-1960. Persons so affected will deny that anything 
is unusual about their manner of speech and will insist that they 
have always spoken thusly. This behavior continues until 
approximately 15-20 seconds after the test subject is induced to 
relinquish possession of SCP-232, after which speech patterns 
return to normal. In test subjects that have had no exposure to any 
works from the Jack Proton franchise, SCP-232's effects do not 
continue past this stage and the subject retains no memory of their 
behavior while under its influence. 


Patent information embossed on the handle of SCP-232, and 
historical analysis of non-anomalous artifacts identical in 
appearance, indicate that SCP-232 is a mass-produced "Atomic 
Zapper" toy, produced by the [REDACTED] corporation from 1953 
to 1958 as a licensed merchandising tie-in to "Jack Proton - Space 
Cop", a series of young adult science fiction novels by American 
author M.K. Snyder. Approximately units were manufactured and 
sold during the toy's production run, of which an unknown quantity 
remain in existence today. The Foundation has acquired 138 units 
since containment of SCP-232 began, all but three of which have 
shown no anomalous properties under testing. Thorough 


imaginative. 


Tell me. Is finite life worth living? | heard about

Description: SCP-2075 is a gestalt consciousness 
currently occupying an unknown number of hosts. 
SCP-2075 exhales a microbial pathogen capable of 
extreme neurological alterations. Those infected by 
SCP-2075 are SCP-2075-A and are considered an

anomalous effects regardless of distance after initial 
infection and will maintain control indefinitely unless 
SCP-2075-A are destroyed. 


<Site-66 Surveillance [24:00]> 

[Three men enter the Containment Site. They 
have been identified as Dr. Albert Cronenberg 
and security personnel Jacob D. Moore and 
Jonathan Li.] 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: You requested to 
speak with me? | am not at your beck and call, 
SCP-2075. 


SCP-2075: Yet you come when beckoned. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: [Audibly sighs] My 
patience with you has long since waned. 
Speak and be quick about it. 


SCP-2075: | have seen enough of this place. | 
will be leaving you now. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Are you threatening a 
containment breach? 


SCP-2075: | have long looked over your 
shoulder. Truth be told, the man you now 
observe in your cage could leave whenever he 
wished. | believe you miscalculated the sum of 
my parts. Tell me: if you cage the limb of an 
octopus, have you truly caged the octopus? 
This one has so many arms to spare... 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: What is this? 


SCP-2075: My containment. It never truly 
mattered. | have always been quite free. Turn 
to the right, doctor. Smile for camera. A 
message is being sent. 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: [glances at the 
security camera] 


SCP-2075: "And lon held six fingers aloft and 
upon their spears did the soldiers impale 
themselves." 


Jacob D. Moore: "For you!’ they cried before 
the blood drowned their tongues. And lon said, 
‘Now do you see?" 


Jonathan Li: "And Nadox wept, as more did 
skewer themselves in lon's name, for he had 
seen and now knew the truth of his words." 


Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Security! Security! 


[Dr. Cronenberg appears to struggle with 
Security Officer Li] 


SCP-2075: Do you see? 


[Security Officer Li appears to hold Dr. 
Cronenberg while Security Officer Moore stabs 
him in the abdomen with a dagger of 
ceremonial design; weapon later designated 
an anomalous object.] 


<Video ends abruptly, surveillance camera 
destroyed> 


Security Personnel were alerted when SCP-2075's 
Containment Unit ruptured. An amorphous mass of flesh 
and bone, considerable in size, destroyed or disabled 
defense parameters. Sector-G was flooded with chlorine 
trifluoride, eliminating the biological agent. Heavy 
casualties were suffered, including fifty-six fatalities. 
Sector-G was deemed a complete loss and is currently 
being reconstructed. DNA found spread throughout 
Sector-G matched that of Dr. Albert Cronenberg, 
presumed deceased. 


Investigation concluded that Jacob D. Moore and 
Jonathan Li were both aspects of SCP-2075. Each had 
over ten years of exceptional service to the Foundation. 
It is unknown when they were first linked to SCP-2075 
but is believed to have occurred prior to joining the 
Foundation. Partial remains with their DNA, as well as 
that of SCP-2075, were found within Sector-G. Due to 
the true capabilities of SCP-2075, it is now believed to 
have never been fully contained by GRU Division "P" or 
the Foundation. 


Discovered within Sector-G was a ring-shaped object 
constructed of palladium weighing 2.26 kilograms and 
with a circumference of 22 centimeters. Object is non- 
anomalous and depicts an Ouroboros, believed to be a 
symbol of religious significance. 


GRU Division "P" personnel associated with original 
containment have been sought for information about 
SCP-2075; all were recorded as deceased or missing.

Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to its properties, active 
containment for SCP-2076 is to be established through live remote 
monitoring of any media sources connected to any cities in the state 
of Illinois. The activation of Disinformation Protocol CEIRT-27-04 
("Bowdlerization") is to be carried out on a weekly basis by 
Foundation-operated assets linked to active distribution to major 
informative sources. 


Any sentient beings currently affected by SCP-2076's longstanding 
infohazardous property are to undergo continuous neurological 
remapping through the usage of long-term amnestic agents and 
monitoring of psychotic episodes matching the patterns of 
Infohazard-linked Chronic Catatonic Psychosis. 1 


Description: SCP-2076 is the defined designation for an 
infohazardous publicity campaign currently manifesting through 
folders, billboards and local radio and television transmissions in the 
state of Illinois. When compared to non-anomalous publicity efforts, 
SCP-2076 shows no visually perceptible signs of anomalous 
properties in its layout, design or distribution, and is laid out as a 
common low-budget marketing operation. 


The content of instances of SCP-2076 will invariably consist of false 
or incomprehensible messages delivered through short sentences 
highlighted in vibrant colors and depicted by forms of imagery 
representing a part of the situation or statement described by the 
phrase. This combination will be perceived by sapient beings as a 
part of a common and credible advertisement asset solely 
distributed through means of communication and will be interpreted 
as legitimate by any affected instances. 


Any sapient beings affected by an instance of SCP-2076 will show 
continuous interest in taking part in the activities described by the 
infohazard, while holding a constant need to permanently introduce 
the depicted situation to one's daily activities in an ordinary manner 
and while not being able to perceive any egregious peculiarities 
involving one's recent behavior.

Incident Log 2076-A 


On the date of July 21st, 20 , active containment 
measures detected an anomalous’ manifestation 
affecting several folders being freely distributed in the 
; Neighbors and Women's Association"2 matching 
the pattern of previous activity involving SCP-2076. The 
manifestation was initially observed as a publicity folder 
showcasing a large amount of cardboard boxes being 
carried and pushed by human beings. The captioning of 
the folder during this manifestation was: "Feeding your 
cardboard box with baked potatoes can increase the 
survival of the Golden Lion Tamarin?'. Following this 
manifestation, a significant turnover in capital stock 
related to packaging industries in the city of , IL was 
registered along with a sudden increase in food chain 
sales of baked potatoes. A Foundation-elaborated public 
research conducted on the date of July 26th, 20 
revealed that two in three members of " Neighbors 
and Women's Association" had recently acquired a 
relevant amount of cardboard boxes with no apparent 
given purpose. At time of writing, no alterations in the life 
cycle for specimens of Leontopithecus rosalia3 was 
registered in the wild or  Foundation-operated 
preservation centers. 


Addendum 2076-A: The following is an excerpt of a 
report elaborated by the Health Surveillance 
Department following a complaint made by a citizen 
identified as the side neighbor for Ms. Addison F 


known by the local community as the current president of 
the " Neighbors and Women's Association". 


[...] Entering the house, a foul scent identified 
by our on-site specialist as that of rotting 
vegetation was noticed by the crew. The 
source of the scent was then detected as 
several cardboard boxes positioned on the 
inside and the outside of Ms. 's 
household. Inside each one of the cardboard 
boxes, several pieces of vegetal matter were 
found on an advanced state of decomposition.

Incident Log 2076-B: On the date of December 12th, 20 , active 
monitoring detected a massive influx of emergency services 
requests reporting a shooting of massive proportions inside the 
Police Department Precinct. Medical evacuation assets addressed 
the number of casualties as 2 human beings holding self-inflicted 
facial bullet wounds. A covert Foundation-operated inoculated 
response team ruled the cause of the incident as a mass hysteria 
episode related to a cognitohazardous manifestation of SCP-2076.

SCP-2077: Miracle Stuff 


Item #: SCP-2077 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: All drug retailers are to be 
monitored for instances of SCP-2077. Confirmed instances are to be 
confiscated and tracked to their source of origin if practicable. 
Human consumption of SCP-2077 is to be discouraged via 
campaigns and outreach programs intended to educate individuals 
on the dangers of unregulated imported prescription drug use. The 
Foundation is to maintain and distribute functioning generics of 
brand-name norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (NRI), selective 
serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), and non-steroidal inflammatory 
drugs (NSAID) via the front company "Sunrise Care Practitioners” in 
designated "hot spots" where instances of SCP-2077 have been 
reported. 


Description: SCP-2077 refers to a number of capsule and tablet 
pills variously advertised as analgesics, anti-anxiety drugs, anti- 
depressants, and anti-convulsants, manufactured by an unlicensed 
company going by the name "The Stuff Industry" and represented by 
a logo of a crudely drawn house with a shining sun perched atop the 
roof. 


While the pills appear to function as advertised, analysis of the pills’ 
contents show that each capsule is apparently filled with objects 
ground into powder and filled into capsules, including glass, quartz, 
plant matter, volcanic ash, sugar, bone meal, and owl pellets. 
Tablets are similarly composed of granulated matter or solid waste 
in a polymer coating. Capsules of SCP-2077 that are emptied of 
their contents do not retain their effects when consumed. 


Instances of SCP-2077 first appeared in , Malaysia, in which 
, kilograms of capsule and tablet pills from "The Stuff Industry" 
were confiscated as part of a drug bust. Analyses found no 


legitimate medicinal components within the pills, and much of the 
confiscated instances were destroyed before coming into 
Foundation custody. Further instances of SCP-2077 began to spring 
up throughout Southeast Asia, India, Australia, China, and South 
America sporadically. 


Continued use of SCP-2077 sees additional effects take place over 
a 2-4 week period. During this period, portions of an individual's 
body, ranging from hair and skin cells to layers of subcutaneous 
tissue, begin to part from the individual overnight while the body 
begins to regenerate lost tissue. The longer an individual remains on 
SCP-2077, the greater portions of their body begin to be replaced. 
Organs and tissue matter replicated are genetically identical to the 
original tissue, with the exception of being free or otherwise 
unaffected by the disease and/or injury supposedly being treated by 
SCP-2077. 


Subjects using SCP-2077 have often reported being unable to 
identify portions of their own body, displaying symptoms consistent 
with Gerstmann's syndrome! and/or autotopagnosia.? Subjects 
often have difficulty coordinating and determining distance between 
objects and their own limbs, due to being unable to recognize their 
own limbs as a part of themselves. Subjects viewing themselves in a 
mirror tend to have less difficulty coordinating, though remain unable 
to identify specific parts of their body, typically indicating the general 
area of its location. 


Experiment Log 


A group of 150 Class-D personnel were selected to 
ascertain the method of operation of SCP-2077. They 
were selected and grouped based upon physical and 
mental afflictions. 

Group 1 was told of the reported effects of SCP-2077 
and were administered placebos. 

Group 2 was told of the reported effects of SCP-2077 
and were administered capsules of SCP-2077 emptied of 
their contents. 

Group 3 was told of the reported effects of SCP-2077 
and were administered the contents of SCP-2077 placed 
in different capsules. 


Group 4 was not told of the reported effects of 
SCP-2077 and were administered unaltered capsules of 


SCP-2077. 


Group 5 was told of the reported effects of SCP-2077 
and were administered unaltered capsules of SCP-2077. 


This is the control group.

The Jack Proton series, consisting primarily of fifteen novels and 
several dozen short stories written between 1940 and Snyder's 
death in 1973, revolve around the eponymous Major John Patrick 
"Jack" Proton, an officer of the "Galactic Police Department" in a 
27th century setting where the human race has colonized the 
entirety of the Earth's solar system. The setting is typical of early 
20th century juvenile science fiction and relies heavily on soft sci-fi 
depictions of space travel common in literature of the time, including 
the existence of intelligent life on planets within the solar system, a 
breathable atmosphere on the Moon and other heavenly bodies, 
faster-than-light travel without relativistic complications, and sapient 
artificial intelligence in computers based on vacuum tube 
technology. The novels were additionally adapted into a nationally 
syndicated radio program from 1947-1952, a television series aired 
by the NBC network from 1953-1954, and a black-and-white movie 
released to theaters in 1956. The Jack Proton franchise bears no 
demonstrable anomalous properties itself, and may be read, viewed, 
or listened to safely provided that the person doing so does not 
come into contact with SCP-232. 


In subjects who have previously read, watched, or listened to any 
installments of the Jack Proton franchise, SCP-232's secondary 
effect begins to manifest after approximately 90-120 seconds of 
physical contact with the toy. During this stage, the test subject's 
memories and personality are radically altered, to the extent that the 
subject believes him/herself to be a resident of the fictional 27th 
century setting of the Jack Proton novels. Test subjects in this stage 
refuse to answer to their given names, and will, during interviews, 
describe life stories and career experiences of life in the 27th 
century which are internally consistent with themselves and with 
canonical details about the setting, often describing themselves as 
close associates of Jack Proton or other major characters featured 
in the franchise. Polygraph examinations given to test subjects in 
this state have consistently indicated that the test subjects believe 
these accounts to be true.

experience loss of limbs, 
replaced with duplicated 
copies. All affected subjects 
report "serious difficulty"

All 30 subjects have 
experienced some loss and

with 7 reported incidents of 
regurgitation of organs, 
including kidneys, pieces of 
the liver, and gallbladder. 

4 of 30 subjects are

mental afflictions. 21 of the 
25 report being unable to 
identify parts of their body, 
with some likening it to 
having prosthetic limbs. 3 of 
the remaining subjects 
believe they have died and 
have been replaced into 
new bodies. One remaining 
subject claims to be two 
distinct individuals in one 
body.

been responding to 
SCP-2077 suffered a full- 
body duplication. Subject 
claimed SCP-2077 to have 
given them a "second 
chance at life" and to be the 
work of "divine intervention." 
Subject displayed severe 
symptoms of 
autotopagnosia and lost all 
mobility below the waist. 


Addendum: Extreme cases of SCP-2077 consumption® can result 
in the individual's entire body being "duplicated", with the "original" 
body coming away lifeless, leaving the subject within their 
"duplicated" body. Subjects in this state suffer from severe 
depersonalization, often experiencing distinct changes in behavior 
and personality while retaining memories and life experiences. 


One subject claimed that use of SCP-2077 has "killed" them, and in 
effect created a perfect living copy of themselves. In at least 3 
documented cases, subjects have described feeling as if they are 
"entirely different" people, able to recall personal events while being 
able to discern between "themselves" and their "former selves".

SCP-2078: Third Party 


Item #: SCP-2078 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Alpha-3 
("Running Mates") has been commissioned in order to contain 
SCP-2078; at no time are more than 49% of the membership of MTF 
Alpha-3 to possess American citizenship. In order to identify 
SCP-2078 infection vectors and infectees, MTF Alpha-3 operatives 
have been granted access to all Foundation telecommunications 
surveillance of the United States of America. MTF Alpha-3 also 
conducts regular scans of American news media, physical 
correspondence, and internet activity. 


Once identified, infectees are to be apprehended by MTF Alpha-3 
personnel within twelve hours; failure to do so constitutes a 
containment breach. Contingents of MTF Alpha-3 armed with non- 
lethal weaponry are to assault any predicted or discovered mass 
congregations of SCP-2078 infectees; failure to apprehend all 
SCP-2078 infectees constitutes a containment breach and warrants 
usage of lethal force. 


MTF Alpha-3 agents embedded in the Federal Elections 
Commission (FEC) and American state governments are to intercept 
all attempts to register SCP-2078-1 as a candidate for election. MTF 
Alpha-3 operatives are to conduct surveillance of all American 
polling places on Election Day. In the event of a containment 
breach, aerosolized deployment of amnestics as well as detention 
and interrogation of civilians is authorized. 


All materials identified to be SCP-2078 infection vectors are to be 
subjected to standard CogHaz-4 containment and information 
sanitation protocols (full documentation on CogHaz-4 protocols are 
available to all members of MTF Alpha-3). All members of MTF 
Alpha-3 are to be trained in counter-memetic practices. Civilians or 


Foundation personnel infected with SCP-2078 are to be 
administered amnestics. If initial amnestic administration is 
unsuccessful in removing infection, researchers are permitted to 
administer Class- amnestics to infected subjects and reclassify 
them as Class-D personnel. 


Description: SCP-2078 is a meme transmitted by media or word-of- 
mouth communication referencing an individual named " . 
hereafter designated SCP-2078-1, an independent candidate who 
runs in every presidential election of the United States of America. 
There is no evidence that SCP-2078-1 exists in reality; the only 
information that is known regarding SCP-2078-1 comes from 
material produced by and interviews with SCP-2078 infectees. 
SCP-2078 only affects individuals who self-identify as citizens of the 
United States of America. Individuals must be exposed to infection 
vectors at a certain rate, ranging from three to twenty-five minutes 
per day, in order to become infected. Knowledge of SCP-2078's 
memetic nature and other counter-memetic practices are effective at 
combating infection. 


SCP-2078-1's political platform is unorthodox. Planks include 
legislation mandating a "birth requirement" of four or more children 
for all married couples, legislation defunding essential governmental 
programs such as defense or welfare in order to increase 
government subsidies of food-related industries, and a constitutional 
amendment prohibiting vegetarianism (Document-2078- compiles 
all information regarding SCP-2078-1's political platform). 


SCP-2078 infection dramatically alters an individual's behavior. All 
infectees, regardless of prior political affiliation, ascribe to 
SCP-2078-1's political platform; most infectees actively seek to 
spread SCP-2078 through the creation of political advertisements, 
usage of social media, or simple word-of-mouth communication. 
Furthermore, most infectees exhibit dramatically increased appetite, 
as well as decreased aversion to unhygienic practices. 
Experimentation has confirmed that SCP-2078 infectees lack a 
satiety response, enabling them to consume far in excess of normal 
human capacities. 


SCP-2078 infectees have been observed to coordinate gatherings of 
up to approximately two hundred infected individuals. These 


gatherings have been recorded to last for up to a week. Infectees 
employed in food service professions often use their positions to 
deliver large quantities of food to the gathering place in order to 
facilitate near-constant food consumption. Due to inadequate waste 
disposal facilities and infectee disregard for cleanliness, sanitation 
suffers dramatically. Infection and disease, sometimes resulting in 
death, are common. Infectees typically burn the bodies of the 
deceased. 


SCP-2078 infection vectors are distributed throughout the internet 
and mass media by an unknown source. Furthermore, despite 
Foundation intervention, SCP-2078-1’s name has occasionally 
appeared on the ballots of some voting districts. 


Addendum-2078A: On / /20 , MTF Alpha-3 operatives 
intercepted a video file containing SCP-2078 infection vectors 
intended to be distributed via the internet. Notably, the 
advertisement seemed to include the first recorded instance of direct 
communication from SCP-2078-1. A transcript is provided below.

SCP-2079: The Law of the Grokodus 


Item #: SCP-2079 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Where feasible, Foundation 
personnel are to monitor the laws, code of conduct, canon law, 
charter, or employee agreements of all nations and organizations 
listed in Document 2079-1 for signs of SCP-2079 influence. No 
group may be monitored by one of its own members. 


Minor incidences of SCP-2079 may usually be addressed simply by 
alerting the relevant authorities to the presence of instances of 
SCP-2079-A. If this proves insufficient, additional efforts to strike 
SCP-2079 must be approved by the External Operations Board. 


In cases where SCP-2079 has progressed to the point where 
SCP-2079-B begins to manifest, Mobile Task Force Pi-4 will analyze 
the legal aberrations caused by this occurrence of SCP-2079 to 
discover and effect a means of dispersing SCP-2079-B. If no 
vulnerability presents itself, it may be necessary to wait for the 
ratification of further instances of SCP-2079-A before acting. 


To prevent a theoretical manifestation of SCP-2079 affecting the 
Foundation, an independent agency called the Select Committee for 
Prudence has been established to monitor the Foundation charter 
for legal anomalies. 


Description: SCP-2079 refers to a phenomenon where an authority 
will begin to enact laws regarding a being referred to as the 
Grokodus. 


SCP-2079-A is the set of laws drawn on during incidences of 
SCP-2079. Though these laws are in a 10th century dialect of Old 
English and do not conform to modern legal standards, nothing 
unusual about this is observed by members of the affected 


organization. Persons involved in the passage of an SCP-2079-A 
instance show thorough understanding of that instance, but they 
demonstrate no additional comprehension of similar Old English 
writings. 


Instances of SCP-2079-A are enacted at an increasing rate, which 
varies greatly between manifestations. To date, 282 instances of 
SCP-2079-A have been observed, drawn apparently at random from 
a total pool that statistical inference suggests contains between 350 
and 375 laws. For a sampling of these, please see Addendum 
2079-14. If few instances of SCP-2079-A are currently in effect, the 
SCP-2079 event may be ended by notifying the affected 
organization of the existence of aberrations in their legal code. 


When approximately fifty laws from SCP-2079-A have been ratified, 
SCP-2079-B will begin to manifest, typically remaining within twenty 
kilometers of the seat of the affected organization. SCP-2079-B is a 
large quadrupedal creature covered in stiff black hairs. It has a long 
snout containing powerful jaws, and does not possess visible eyes. 
It is surrounded by 29 animate, levitating hands, which appear 
human and seem to have been severed at the wrist. These protect 
and manipulate objects for SCP-2079-B, and are believed to be 
under its direct control. 


SCP-2079-B can only be interacted with as specified by those 
instances of SCP-2079-A currently in force, indicating that it is the 
Grokodus. In other circumstances, SCP-2079-B is intangible and 
unaffected by all obstacles. When in accordance to SCP-2079-A, 
SCP-2079-B has demonstrated several other anomalous 
capabilities, including mass hypnosis, extreme strength, and 
production of large quantities of wine. 


Certain laws in SCP-2079-A specify punishments should the 
Grokodus fail to abide by them, the worst of which appears to be 
dispersal, which immediately ends the SCP-2079 manifestation. 
Though SCP-2079-B shows signs of sapience, it has never 
communicated, and all its actions seem to be to ensure it remains in 
accordance with SCP-2079-A. From when SCP-2079-B appears to 
when it is dispersed, authorities will become very resistant to 
repealing SCP-2079-A. It is unknown what would happen if 
SCP-2079-A were ratified in full. 


approximately 30-45 minutes after first contact, test subjects begin 
to experience severe sensory hallucinations, to the effect that they 
now perceive the world around them to be the fictional setting of the 
Jack Proton franchise. In this state, test subjects almost invariably 
believe that they are members of Jack Proton's "Junior Action 
Squad" and have been assigned a mission of utmost interplanetary 
security, which researchers and security personnel of the 
Foundation are involved in or are attempting to prevent them from 
completing. Though attempts to neutralize Foundation personnel 
with SCP-232 have invariably proven futile, test subjects have been 
noted to resort to physical violence on occasion. 


Persons afflicted by the later stages of SCP-232 exposure will resist 
any attempts to remove SCP-232 from their person, and, if 
separated from it, will attempt to recover it by any means available 
to them. Effects of the later stages of exposure wear off gradually 
over a period of approximately 3-6 hours after SCP-232 is removed 
from the subject's person; in approximately % of tests involving 
long-term exposure, test subjects have retained memories of their 
artificial persona after dissipation of the effect, resulting in cognitive 
dissonance and associated psychological impairments. 


SCP-232 came to the Foundation's attention on / / _, following the 
arrest of Martin , aretired steel worker living in [REDACTED], 
PA, for disorderly conduct following an affray at a shopping mall. 

, who insisted on referring to himself as "Space Cadet Max 
Mars", was taken into custody after confronting several mall patrons 
and brandishing SCP-232, demanding to know the location of "the 
Phobos Ruby", an artifact the theft of which from the Martian 
Museum of History drives the plot of the novella Murder on the lo 
Express. During debriefing prior to amnestic therapy, stated that 
he had owned one of the toys as a child and had been a fan of the 
series, and purchased SCP-232 from an online auction site for 
nostalgic value because he had "had so much fun playing cops & 
aliens with it" in his youth.

Addendum 2079-14: The following is a representative sample of 
the laws in SCP-2079-A, along with a brief analysis of their effects. 
The text of the laws has been translated from Old English. 


SCP-2079-A-1 

Reference name — Humility 

Text — As the Grokodus stands in defiance of the will of 
Heaven, it can not set foot on Holy Ground or speak the 
name of the Father. That it may know its degradation, 
the Grokodus will make alms to each of the righteous 
Poor that it should meet, for they are as greater than the 
Grokodus in the eyes of God as the Grokodus is to the 
righteous Poor in the eyes of Man. 

Effects — As SCP-2079-B does not talk and has never 
been sighted in a church regardless of whether 2079- 
Humility is in effect, it is unclear what effect the first 
portion of the law has. After SCP-2079-B manifested, it 
was observed to on several occasions give gold coins to 
beggars it encountered in Canberra. 

Notes — This is the first instance of SCP-2079-A to be 
recorded, having been passed by the Commonwealth 
Government of Australia in 1960, although the 
Foundation did not become aware of it until the first 
manifestation of SCP-2079-B in 1961. 


SCP-2079-A-53 

Reference name — Sustenance 

Text — For we are greater and more magnanimous than 
the Grokodus, we allow it the luxury of food which it has 
denied of so many. The Grokodus may consume its food 
in its own way, but that it does not strip the hills and 
glens of smiling Men, if it should devour more than ten of 
the Children of Adam between one midnight and the 
next, it shall be dispersed unto the Earth. The same shall 
it suffer if it dares to harm one of Ours. 

Effects — Whenever 2079-Sustenance is in effect, 
SCP-2079-B will use its hands to catch, flay, and remove 
the eyes of nearby humans. It then eats the collected 
skin and eyes. SCP-2079 will carefully observe the limit 
of ten victims each day, but otherwise shows no pattern 


in whom it attacks. The meaning of the last clause is 
unclear. Notably, corpses with similar injuries have been 
found whenever 2079-Sustenance is in effect, even if too 
few laws are in effect for SCP-2079-B to manifest. 

Notes — During the incidence of SCP-2079 affecting the 
bylaws of the Boy Scouts of America, 2079-Sustenance's 
dispersal method was successfully utilized. 


SCP-2079-A-65 

Reference name — \ron 

Text — In remembrance of how the Grokodus would 
adopt the airs of Man, though no such thing it was, the 
Grokodus shall dwell in a house of their most dismal 
lron. All Iron that God witnesses pass within a scant foot 
of its filthy hide shall there remain as long as the 
Grokodus insists on clawing to Life and Earth. Should it 
seek to forget, let it find so little solace in the Vine as it 
finds fear at the recollection of Iron. 

Effects — Any iron or alloy containing large amounts of 
iron that comes within about half a meter of SCP-2079-B 
is strongly attracted to the surface of its body, apparently 
causing SCP-2079-B moderate distress. This effect does 
not apply to its hands, which have been observed pulling 
metal crushed into flat plates away from its body and 
throwing it outside the attraction zone. 


SCP-2079-A-148 

Reference name — Penance 

Text — That the Grokodus shall not seek more to 
escape our Edict into the view of Man, let its judgement 
be remembered by all whose Shadows cross its awful 
Shadow. Thus shall the Grokodus find chains where it 
would find form. That the Grokodus shall not try our 
Judgement in the world of Death, here we speak to those 
of Ours who would help it to test those bonds — when 
you fail, your Will and Act shall evermore serve to keep 
the Grokodus of the Earth. 

Effects — No consistently observed effect, though while 
2079-Penance is in effect, SCP-2079-B will occasionally 
bite the hand off of individuals who try to attack it. 


Though SCP-2079-B will typically then spend some time 
observing and trying to interact with the severed hand, 
this appears to serve no purpose.

SCP-2080: Dads House 


Item #: SCP-2080 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2080 is contained in situ 
and has been boarded up and declared condemned as cover. Two 
personnel are to be posted at Observation Point 2080 for 
monitoring. Any civilians found on SCP-2080's property are to be 
detained and questioned, with amnestics administered if needed. 


Instances of SCP-2080-1 are not to be removed from SCP-2080. 
Should an activation event occur, all instances of SCP-2080-1 are to 
be allowed access to SCP-2080, and all instances of SCP-2080-2 
are to be impounded at the conclusion of the event. Two instances 
of each are held in storage at Site-81 for experimentation. No further 
action is to be taken to free SCP-2080-1A. 


Description: SCP-2080 is a two-story house in Inkster, Michigan. It 
is the focus of a phenomenon involving the reduplication of an 
individual, Mr. . Herschel, Sr. (GCP-2080-1) and a blue 2001 
PT Cruiser (SCP-2080-2). Experimentation has verified instances of 
SCP-2080-1 to be genetically identical, and instances of 
SCP-2080-2 to exhibit scratches and dents located in precisely the 
same positions. Instances of SCP-2080-1 cannot communicate, and 
only repeat thirty-four distinct phrases. (See Document 2080-02a for 
a full list.) Approximately 96% of the available space within 
SCP-2080 is filled with instances of SCP-2080-1, including the 
interiors of closets, cabinets and appliances. Imaging suggests % 
of SCP-2080-1 instances are animate. 


Activation events occur whenever one or more instances of 
SCP-2080-1 is removed from SCP-2080. Within ten minutes, an 
instance of SCP-2080-2 containing four instances of SCP-2080-1 
will approach from the south, progress as far up the driveway as 
possible, and collide with other SCP-2080-2 if present. Instances of 


SCP-2080-1 will enter SCP-2080, compacting the mass of 
SCP-2080-1 further into the interior. The activation event will end 
when the previous number of instances of SCP-2080-1 is reached. 
This can result in a higher total number of instances, which will 
become the limit of future activation events. Since containment, 
there have been activation events, increasing the total number of 
SCP-2080-1 instances by 


SCP-2080-1A is thought to be the original instance of SCP-2080-1, 
and is the only instance capable of communication. It is located in 
the master bedroom of SCP-2080, pinned between other 
SCP-2080-1 with its head visible in the window. SCP-2080-1A has 
expressed pain during activation events. Rescue attempts have 
been unsuccessful, and due to enactment of current containment 
procedures, communication with SCP-2080-1A is no longer 
possible. 


Local police alerted Foundation agents in the Detroit, Michigan area 
to the existence of SCP-2080 after a report from Herschel- 
Jackson, Jr., who is believed to have witnessed the initial series of 
activation events. Transcript of intake interview follows. 


Interviewed: Herschel-Jackson, ur. 
Interviewer: Agent Arnstadt, Detroit field office 
<Begin Log, 13:45> 


Arnstadt: Mr. Herschel-Jackson, I'm Agent Arnstadt. I'm 
here to ask you a few questions. 


Jackson: Uh, yeah, all right. 


Arnstadt: When was the last time you spoke with your 
father? 


Jackson: This morning, before, you know. 


Arnstadt: What happened? Did anything about him 
seem different? 


Jackson: Well, | wasn't really paying attention to that, on 


account of we got in a fight. 
Arnstadt: What did you fight about? 


Jackson: I, uh, he didn't like, you know, who | was 
dating. Cause he's not a chick, you know? Dad said 
some nasty shit, and | did too. Like, that | didn't want to 
talk to him ever again. And then | like left, you know? 


Arnstadt: What happened after you left? When did you 
first notice something was wrong? 


Jackson: Sorry, okay, sorry, I'm good. I, uh, it was pretty 
much almost right away the shit got weird, like, | was just 
kind of stomping around, y'know, not going anywhere 
really, and then | seen this car coming up the road. 
Caught my eye cause it looked like dad's car. And then | 
realize, it is. Same license plate, you know? It goes by, | 
look in the window, right, and there he is, smiling and 
waving like what just happened didn't. And then another 
One came, and another one after that, and they just kept 
coming. And every single one, the cars, there's my dad, 
driving and waving out the passenger side and sitting in 
back all at once, and all smiling like | never said shit to 
him. They just kept coming. 


Arnstadt: It says in the police report that you ran back to 
the house. 


Jackson: Yeah, and all those cars kept following me, 
just more and more. | get to the driveway, there's like a 
ton of cars just in a pile. Tried the front door, nothing, it 
wouldn't budge. And then the back door... 


Arnstadt: All right, that's fine, that's enough. Thank you, 


Jackson: Do you, do you think it's my fault? 


Arnstadt: | don't, we're not sure why this is happening. | 
doubt it's your fault, really. Don't worry, you'll be taken to 


your family and we'll see what we can do to help your 
dad. 


Jackson: Thank you, Ms. Agent. It's just, | really wish | 
could take it all back, you know? What | said. 


Arnstadt: I'll see what we can do. 
<End Log, 14:04> 


Closing Statement: After a standard quarantine period, 
Herschel-Jackson, Jr. was amnesticized and 
released to the custody of his grandparents with a cover 
story of a gas leak causing the death of Herschel, 
Sr. Ashes were provided to the family for dispersion in 
accordance with Jackson, Sr.'s will. No further 
contact with the family of SCP-2080-1A is required. 


Excerpts from Document 2080-02a 


Look, I'm sorry, don't cry, there's another 
game next month, and we can go then, | 
promise. 


Hey, all right, look at those grades! Didn't | say 
it'd be worth it? 


Just do this one thing for me, give me this one 
night out, and we can go wherever you want 
this weekend. 


[Singing] \'m sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh! I'm for 
real, yeah! | never meant to make your 
daughter cry, | apologized a trillion times! 
[Laughter] 


I'm sorry. You're still my son, and | still love 
you, and that's all that matters.

SCP-2081: Making Your Dreams Your Reality 


Item #: SCP-2081 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2081 are to be keptina 
standard Safe-class locker, with each instance held securely closed 
by two strong elastic bands to prevent accidental exposure. 
Duplication of SCP-2081's contents does not reproduce the 
anomalous effects, and as such any copies created are not subject 
to special containment procedures. Copies created for research or 
other purposes are not to be taken off-site. 


Description: SCP-2081 are multiple identical copies of an 82-page 
hardback volume entitled 'Making Your Dreams Your Reality: 
Lucidity for Beginners’, purporting to be an informal guide to lucid 
dreaming. The author is cited as Dr. , a Supposed expert 
in circadian neuroscience; however, investigations have thus far 
failed to trace anyone of this name and description and it is believed 
to be a pseudonym. SCP-2081's title is apparently derived from a 
quotation referenced in the book's introduction, headed 'Why 
Lucidity?': ‘If [the dreamer] has these lucid dreams often, they can 
even have an effect on his confidence, mood and general well-being 
in the waking world — lucid dreaming is truly a way to make his 
dreams become his reality.’ The origin of the quotation is not stated. 


The contents of SCP-2081 range from simple instructions for 
achieving lucidity to a section titled ‘Prophecies and Alternate 
Worlds’, which discusses differing views of dreams across history 
and cultures. The tone is predominantly light-hearted, although this 
is inconsistent throughout the volume. A combination of British and 
American English terms and spellings are used throughout, 
apparently arbitrarily, with terms such as 'metastasise’ and 'vaporize' 
appearing within the same paragraph. The possibility that SCP-2081 
may have multiple authors has not been ruled out. 


Subjects who had been exposed to SCP-2081's contents were 
assessed by Foundation staff, and those deemed suitable for further 
study were transferred to isolated rooms in the site's psychiatric 
wing on / /20 . All describe experiencing vivid auditory and 
sometimes visual phenomena during sleeping periods, and have 
been shown via video footage and EEG tracings to be waking fully 
for anywhere from seconds to minutes each night. Despite the 
purported nature of SCP-2081, phenomena experienced by the 
subjects are therefore being classed as waking hallucinations rather 
than genuine lucid dreaming events. The relation (if any) between 
these phenomena and real world events is as yet indeterminate and 
is the subject of ongoing analysis. 


All subjects report both total paralysis (with the exception of eye 
movement) and feelings of extreme terror for the duration of each 
incident. Once subjects' panic has subsided, usually to minutes 
after hallucinatory effects cease, they return to a normal sleeping 
state. On awakening subjects are able to recall auditory 
hallucinations with abnormal accuracy, quoting spoken passages for 
up to. minutes without hesitation. This recall shows no sign of 
fading over time. 


Further investigation has revealed that all subjects believe 
themselves to be waking in near-total darkness, even when video 
monitoring clearly shows that the room is fully lit by sunlight or 
electric bulbs throughout the sleep period. Subjects’ pupils have 
additionally been shown to be dilated in a manner consistent with 
adaptation to darkness, even under bright lighting. During incidents, 
researchers remained present in the observation chamber and 
attempted to communicate with subjects, but no response was made 
to visual, auditory or tactile stimuli. Once fully awakened, subjects 
were apparently unaware that researchers had been present at all 
during the incident. Testing of subjects' sensory perceptions during 
waking hours produced normal results. 


from the start of the observation period, sedatives were 
administered to all subjects to alleviate their growing distress in the 
hours before sleep and their resulting uncooperative behaviour; 
however, no known sedatives were found to prevent waking or 
hallucinations. Administration of amnestics was successful in 


removing subjects' knowledge of contact with SCP-2081, but had no 
effect on waking incidents. 


At the present time it should be assumed that SCP-2081's effects 
are permanent, that subjects do not become accustomed to them 
over time, and that no countermeasures exist. 


Recovery Log: Between / /20 and / /20 , instances of 
SCP-2081 appeared in libraries, bookshops, community centres and 
one church in , -How and why items were distributed to these 
locations remains unclear. The Foundation was alerted to the 
existence of SCP-2081 following a sharp increase in the number of 
patients in the area presenting with sleep-related issues. copies 
have thus far been secured by the Foundation; however, the total 
number of existing copies is currently unknown, and there is no 
record of the existence (current or past) of , the publishing 
house named in the items' edition pages. 


Note added / /20 : Following an increase in subjects’ paranoia and 
aggressive behaviour towards researchers, in-person interviews 
have been suspended until further notice. Written records are 
instead to be collected from subjects, including all events and 
approximate timings, and entered by researchers into the log.

blink as little as possible. Make no attempt to 
speak or to make any other sound. 


00:00:20: If someone is sleeping beside you, 
do not under any circumstances try to wake 
them, even if their identity is known to you. 


00:00:30: Do not look directly at uncovered 
glass, such as mirrors or windows, or into any 
electronic light sources. 


00:00:40: If possible avoid looking at all 
timekeeping devices, in particular digital clock 
faces. 


00:00:45: (Silence) 


00:00:55: If you hear sounds that appear to 
originate within the room, do not acknowledge 
them in any way. This includes whispering, 
movement, or sounds produced by electronic 
devices. 


00:01:10: If you sense the presence of an 
unknown entity within the room, do not attempt 
to locate it. Remain as still and quiet as 
possible, breathing slowly. If you see any 
humanoid figure in your vicinity, do not look 
directly at it: look away if possible, and under 
no circumstances allow it to make eye 
contact. 


00:01:30: If any visible humanoid entity moves 
towards or touches you, ensure that you do 
not look directly at its face. Remain calm and 
do not acknowledge its presence.

« SCP-2080 | SCP-2081 | SCP-2082 » 


SCP-2082: Elephas cryophilus 


Item #: SCP-2082 
Object Class: Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: All known samples of 
SCP-2082's DNA are to be stored in standard biological 
containment units, located in Site-190. Non-anomalous counterfeits 
are to be distributed to major scientific organizations which believe 
they possess portions of SCP-2082. All attempts to create this 
technology outside of the Foundation is to be hampered by 
embedded agents within the scientific community. The equipment 
required to create an instance of SCP-2082 is to be kept ina 
disassembled state, and stored within Site-77. 


Description: SCP-2082 is an extinct subspecies of the animal 
known as the woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius). When 
living, it had shoulder heights between 2.7 and 3.4 m and weighed 
up to 6 tonnes. It has been extinct for approximately 4,000 years, 
with most of the population having died off 10,000 years ago. 


Observation of the SCP-2082 instance has been limited. No 
accurate gauge of SCP-2082's appearance has been made to date, 
due to the destructive effect of SCP-2082 on the world around it. 
When an instance of SCP-2082 is created, there is an immediate 
alteration to the local temperature of every space within 250 meters 
of its body. Surface temperatures will instantly drop to -10 °C, 
usually resulting in the death of any subjects within range. As 
SCP-2082 instances move, the effect moves with them, while also 
continuing to affect the areas they previously inhabited. 


Once SCP-2082's effect has covered an area greater than 20 
square meters, the area around it will exude large amounts of ice 
and sleet from all solid surfaces, in a manner similar to SCP-6449. In 
addition, SCP-2082's area of effect will increase to a radius of 1km 4 
minutes after this threshold is reached. The sleet and ice will be 


continuously produced by SCP-2082 until the affected area 
resembles blizzard conditions. SCP-2082 is immune to the direct 
results of its own effect. 


Development of the technology which resulted in the creation of 
SCP-2082 began in 1962, when the Foundation developed cloning 
technology to recreate specimens of SCP-2082, by use of the tissue 
and other frozen preserved remains which had been purchased from 
museums and acquired from SCP-646, SCP-2683, and SCP-2706. 
The project was led and directed by Dr. Ascher, and a small team of 
researchers at Research Area 908. Between October, 1962 and 
June, 1983, they attempted to create a replica of SCP-2082 using 
technological means. The technology used to create SCP-2082 was 
not anomalous, and the purpose of the research project was 
intended to shed light on the process of cloning. 


Currently, all research into cloning additional species of animal has 
been discontinued, due to the massive destruction caused by 
Incident 2082-Prime. 


Addendum: File 2082-01: Documents recovered from external 
Site-62-B, regarding Incident 2082-Prime. Documents were an 
automatic backup, as all original data was destroyed. 


Final testing entry: July 4th, 1983. Authored by 
Researcher Stevens, Junior Researcher Boyd, and 
remotely supervised by Agent Fredericks. 

Initial testing of the cloning device has resulted in total 
disaster. Testing facility has been reduced to frozen 
ashes, with all primary research personnel presumed to 
be dead. Site lockdown has been initiated, and it has 
been assumed by the remaining research team that the 
on-site nuclear device will be activated if any more 
damage occurs. It is reasonable to assume this will be 
the case. 

The entity which emerged from the testing chamber 
appears to be the cloned specimen, a juvenile 
(Mammuthus primigenius). Immediately upon opening 
the chamber doors, the temperatures dropped to -10 °C, 
and rapidly plummeted from there. All research 
personnel in the labs, dormitories, and interior chambers 


were presumed dead after temperatures reached 

-190 °C within the entire facility. 

If this note is recovered by Foundation personnel, please 
note that the entity did not appear to have any significant 
physical traits, other than being immune to their own 
effect. AIDATA INTERRUPTED] 


Following recovery operations, and cleanup of Research Area 908, 
the carcass of SCP-2082 was found about a kilometer away from 
the site. An autopsy indicated that it had died of an aortic aneurysm, 
due to imperfections of the cloning process.

SCP-2083: Hoboken Bunion Emergency 


Item #: SCP-2083 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The warehouse containing 
SCP-2083 has been designated as a secure zone, witha 
Foundation research station permanently stationed outside of it. All 
access to SCP-2083 is restricted, and any personnel surviving 
exposure to SCP-2083 will be severely reprimanded. Once per 
month, a used sneaker is to be thrown into SCP-2083, and the 
results recorded by on-site personnel. 


Description: SCP-2083 is a small warehouse located in Hoboken, 
New Jersey, USA. It appears to have originally been used to store 
furniture, and the reason for the anomaly inhabiting it is currently 
unknown. 


Approximately 2,000 human legs emerge from various points on the 
walls of SCP-2083. They vary in their apparent age and 
appearance, but all are biologically male legs, barefoot, with 
significant amounts of hair. ~2% of legs within SCP-2083 appear to 
have ingrown toenails, but other than this there are no significant 
health details apparent on any SCP-2083 leg. 


The legs within SCP-2083 are normally docile, unless a human 
subject wearing footwear comes into it. If this occurs, any legs near 
the subject will immediately attempt to draw them into SCP-2083, 
followed by every leg within range vigorously kicking the subject. It is 
possible to escape attacks by SCP-2083, as legs do not display any 
abnormal strength and have difficulty grasping subjects with their 
toes. If the subject expires, the legs will manipulate their footwear 
until it is being worn by one foot. 


Following this, the feet will appear to retreat into the walls of 
SCP-2083, although no corresponding leg will appear on the 


opposite side. The foot will orient sideways, and remain suspended 
there until the shoe is removed, at which point the leg will return to 
its former state. Other than this, SCP-2083 legs will display 
behaviors such as practicing kicks, kicking one another, and 
carefully rubbing their foot against the wall, in an apparent attempt to 
groom themselves. 


In addition, several times per week, local franchise locations for local 
shoe businesses will receive job applications for "models" with an 
address listed as SCP-2083. Included in the application will be 
photographs of an SCP-2083 instance, with shoes on. If no instance 
of SCP-2083 is wearing shoes, the manager of the location will 
receive frequent text messages, including: 


SO SORRY SWEET SOLES SIXTEEN TIMES WE 
HAVE FAILED YOU PLEASE CALL BACK 


MISS U 


WE CAN BE BETTER WE ARE BEST MODELS 
PLEASE RETURN APPLICATION VERY HUNGRY 
FEED FAMILY LIVE BETTER 


JUST DO IT 


Addendum: On 9/18/20 , an SMS text message was sent to Site 
Director DeLeon from a number known to be connected to 
SCP-2083. It contained a blurry picture of a warehouse similar to 
SCP-2083, only containing pairs of spherical, fleshy protrusions 
instead of legs.

SCP-2084: Anabasis 


Item #: SCP-2084 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2084 is to be entirely 
covered by a rubber tent and marked as containing hazardous 
biological material within. All personnel entering SCP-2084 must 
undergo decontamination procedures before exiting. Entry is off- 
limits to all personnel without level 3 approval and equipped with a 
Level C hazmat suit. 


Description: SCP-2084 is a middle school locatedin  ,FLinthe 
neighborhood of . The interior contains a pathogen capable of 
inducing auditory and visual hallucinations lasting between 1 - 60 
seconds. Testing has shown the pathogen has been neutralized by 
an unknown antibody present within the school, indicating that the 
hallucinations are contingent upon SCP-2084 itself. Content of these 
hallucinations have been consistent between individuals, and logs of 
hallucinogenic incidents are filed below. 


Prior to / /199 , the school building had been occupied, before 
sustaining significant damage in Hurricane . The school had 
been condemned and remained abandoned until / /200 . 
Demolition was slated for that date when SCP-2084 appeared on 
site the night before, leaving no trace of the pre-existing structure 
behind. 


SCP-2084 appeared recently abandoned, with electrical services 
still functioning upon reconnection. The layout is described as 
similar to that of Middle School, which had previously 
occupied the lot years before its demolition and subsequent 
replacement with another school building. Apart from an 
anachronistic style of architecture’, the building itself is 
unremarkable. 


Dr. Andrews: And what is it that you do for 
him? 


D-65203: I'm on a super-secret mission right 
now! I'm not sure I'm even supposed to tell 
you. | better check with him first. Is there a 
hyper-phone in the next room? 


Dr. Andrews: Where do you believe you are 
at this moment, Billy? 


D-65203 looks around the interview room, 
including out a window overlooking the Site 73 
parking lot. 


D-65203: Gee, sir, I'm no architect. But 
judging from the view out the window, this has 
to be Space Station Delta! 


D-65203 points at a 1989 Buick Le Sabre, 
owned by Dr. Graham. 


D-65203: Say, is that Admiral Jove's flagship 
docked out there? Please say you'll let me get 
his autograph! 


Dr. Andrews: We'll see.

Dr. Andrews: Good afternoon. 


Files relating to SCP-2084: 


Note: For the purpose of cross-referencing, none of the 
agents listened to or read transcripts of one another's 
logs until all four logs were on file. Audio logs from 
agents on-site were inconsistent with one another and 
the possibility of mind-altering effects was 
acknowledged, but the agents disagreed on what 
elements of their report reflected these effects. 


Agent Cortez's Report 


Date: 3/23/06 Time: 11:37 

Stepped in and the first thing that hit me was 
the smell. Smells like a morgue. Everything 
mostly intact and clean. Certainly looks like 
[REDACTED] Middle, but missing some 
things, like elevators and fire alarms. Front 
desk has an old computer on it, has "Slow, 
love" typed on screen. Wait, strike that. 
Computer disappeared. Room's changed; 
there's books and papers strewn about on the 
floors. Calling in a potential cognitohazard. 


Date 3/23/06 Time: 14:02 

Tested positive for a hallucinogen. Doctor said 
it wears off on its own, but could be neutralized 
on the spot. Decontaminated and | check out 
fine, ready to head back in. Not really like acid 
at all. 


Front desk how | left it, no computer, papers 
strewn about. Checking in on classrooms. 


Room 108. Looks—nope. Changed. Soon as 
you blink, things change. Keep that in mind for 
future exploration. Probably should have a 
video camera to see if it's just me or an actual 
illusion. Was about to say, it looks new and 
unused, then it changed; papers everywhere, 
desks overturned, lots of mold on the ceiling. 


Welcome to [REDACTED], Florida. 


Room 110. There's kids in here. One of them 
saw me and he's coming out. Hey, what're you 
doing? [No other sound is heard] I'm a hall 
monitor... Go on, back to your test. He's gone. 
Classroom's gone now. Kid said they were 
about to start a test. Room looked normal 
when | peeked in, but now it's got medical 
equipment everywhere. Maybe testing for 
head lice. 


Rooms are clear. Heading upstairs. One of the 
doors had a sign on it, but someone tore it in 
half. Looks like someone dropped a big bottle 
of something here, there's glass and dried 
liquid, sticky-looking. Smells rotten. Checking 
out the rooms now. 


Rooms are all clear up here. Stairwell... 
Stairwell | came up on was collapsed. No idea 
how | got up here. Stairwell on other end of the 
hall is intact, though. Most likely from there. 


Computer on front desk again. Still says "Slow, 
love" on it. Not touching it, but was tempted to 
put in "Sure thing, babe". 

Signing out. 


Agent Piper's Report 


Date: 3/24/06 Time: 08:01 

Nothing unusual, looks like an old school. I'm 
kind of on edge, just waiting for some kind of 
boogin' to burst out and yell "Surprise, 
asshole!" Never had hallucinations before. 
Checking out one of the books... looks like a 
math book. Problems are all done, writing's in 
English. 


Heading down the halls now. Looking in room 


129. The ceiling collapsed in it. A bunch of 
desks and chairs came tumbling down. 
Doesn't look like the room was occupied, so 
there's that. 


Right across from me—OH God! [Nervous 
laughter] | guess that's one of the things... 
Just saw someone in the doorway across from 
me, then they were gone in the blink of an eye. 
Checking out that room... odd. There's a 
bunch of cots here with IV stands next to them, 
like a medical room. | don't think IVs are 
typical in a middle school nurse's office. 


Looking down the hall, there's a bunch of 
lockers on the far wall. Hallway turns at a 
sharp angle to the next hallway. Dark and 
silent. I'm okay, though. [Groan and 
whimpering is heard, followed by a squeak in 
footsteps] Please don't let that be real... Oh 
God... there's a pile of bodies here. Children. 
Some adults. Stacked in a pile, some of them 
naked. It's not going away. Oh my God, it's not 
going away. 


Left to catch my breath... oh please, for fuck's 
sake, it's still here. It's not going away. | 
can't... | can't... [Heavy breathing, followed by 
the sound of vomiting]. It won't... it's still there. 
It smells... 


Agent Saisset's Report 


Date 4/2/06 Time: 06:54 

| am at the front desk. Nothing unusual so far, 
except there is a computer powered on. It 
says, "Breathe in, strap on, enjoy yourself 
[REDACTED]" Oh it knows my first name, how 
charming. 


All the rooms here are empty, or filled with 


garbage. Hall turns sharply left to another, 
bigger hallway. Nothing here, but it's certainly 
bright. Is the electricity still working— Oh, it's a 
hallucination, | see! Children are coming down 
the hall towards me. One of them tripped and 
fell, ouch. Mm... he's not getting up. | don't 
think he tripped. Merde, he's gone. As soon as 
| took a step towards him. The light's gone as 
well. 


Room 115. Looks to be a computer lab. There 
are children in here, all ignoring me. | cannot 
hear any of them but it looks as though many 
are talking. One of the computers near me has 
the words "Feeling fine" typed in large letters 
on it. Strange room for vaccinations to take 
place. 


Out in the hallway, it is light again. The same 
scene plays out; children running, the one 
falling. | see now he indeed did not trip but was 
struck from behind, maybe hit with a rock or a 
bullet. This hallway smells like a used 
restroom and there is mildew all over the walls. 


[Agent Saisset yelps and stammers something 
incoherent. No other sound is heard beyond 
her breathing.] Turned the corner and saw 
someone standing in front of me. He is 
dressed like a doctor, and telling me I'm not 
supposed to be here, it's a quarantine zone. | 
don't know if this thing will pick up his voice, | 
— [pause]. Yes? No, no, | am on my phone. A 
cell phone. You know—argh. He is gone. This 
is tiresome. 


At front desk. Still smells like a restroom. The 
computer is gone, but there is a stack of books 
on the chair behind the desk. Was that always 
here? They're all textbooks, nothing unusual. 
Signing out. 


Agent Reekers' Report 


Date 4/8/06 Time: 18:15 

Heading down the hall. Front area smelled like 
shit, even through the suit, but given all the 
mold and other crap all over the walls, that's 
nothing unusual. 


Room 129. Ceiling's collapsed. Debris from 
second floor's cluttered everywhere. No signs 
of life in here. 


Room 127. Same here. There's some kind of 
mold creeping out from under an overturned 
desk. At least | hope that's mold. Smells more 
like... no wait. Damn, | lost it. 


Room 125. Something was burning in here. 
Burning recently, I'd say. It's still kind of 
smoky. Can't pop my suit to check it out, 
though. 


Thought | heard someone behind me, but 
there was nothing there. Heading to the back. 


Ohhhhhh shit. There's a big pile of dead 
bodies back here. Looks fresh... Oh fuck! It's 
gone. The whole place cleared out. My suit 
must've breached, I'm not supposed to be 
seeing this shit. 


Date 4/9/06 Time: 09:00 
We'll try this again... new suit, higher level. 
Checking out the rooms again. 


Room 128. Medical cots, IV stands beside 
each. Not seeing anything else in here. 


Back hall's empty. Heading upstairs. 


Stairwell was collapsed, had to use the one 
across the hall. Big stain on the floor as soon 


as you step out. Looks like a big glass bottle of 
something thick and viscous was dropped 
here. Still moist. 


Oh shit. There's a bunch of boys ahead, 
walking into a room. My suit's breached again, 
somehow, I'm seeing them again. Heading 
back down. 


Someone's at the front desk, on a computer. 
Fuck, they saw me. They're coming up... They 
just disappeared. He said "Sure thing, babe", 
then disappeared. Computer stayed behind. 
Looking at the screen, it says... "Are you 
alive?" [Sound of typing] Just responded, "No". 
And... computer just disappeared. Well fine, 
be like that. 


Having trouble opening the door... Door's 
jammed. Nice try, ghosties, but we have 
crowbars. Signing out. 


Addendum D-4: A report was filed by Agent Piper on behalf of an 
"Agent Locke", which all other agents reported as being familiar to 
them at the time. Foundation records do not indicate an "Agent 
Locke" matching the description given stationed on-site at any time. 
Contents of unknown agent's log are available to personnel with 
level 3 security access and above. Transcript is logged at end of file. 


LEVEL 3 ACCESS REQUIRED 


Date 4/9/06 Time: 00:01 
[Recording begins with background 
commotion, voices talking and shouting.] 


Status report. Situation has deteriorated 
significantly, as expected. Subjects aren't 
responding to vaccines. Best case scenario, 
asphyxiation within 2-3 minutes. Worst case... 
| don't know how to convey the horror. They 
keep moving. Twitching, jerking, some even 


standing upright for a moment, before 
collapsing in a heap. We have to burn them; 
they don't stop until they're ash. If you saw 
their corpses, you Saw mercy. 


Symptoms consistent with what we've been 
seeing in east Asia. Internal hemorrhaging, 
vomiting, diarrhea, lack of sweating leading to 
hyperthermia. A new symptom's showing in 
the newer cases; the itching. It's not enough to 
just scratch your ass and be done with it; it's 
persistent, and it burns. Some of the kids strip 
naked, unable to bear even the slightest touch, 
and start scratching until they bleed. Then they 
scratch some more. 


Medical logs... Dante couldn't imagine 
anything this hellish. First you see their names, 
starting with the refugees. Name, age, sex, 
symptoms, prescription, prognosis... the 
survivors are checked off in blue. You can go 
fifty, sixty names without seeing a mark. 
Further down you go, brevity dictates the 
entries; no names, no symptoms. The 
handwriting changes. Newcomer doesn't 
bother mincing words: "Female, 31, death. 
Male, 13, death." 


| could almost respect the inhumanity of an 
enemy willing to target civilians with a bio- 
weapon like this. When we learned the 
insurgents fumbled this badly... it's not even 
pitiable. People like that... they're too low to be 
animals, too stupid to be monsters, and too far 
gone to learn better. 


No. This isn't gonna work. Yesterday it was 
just booms and cracks of gunfire. Today you 
can differentiate between their shouts and 
ours. They'll overrun us by nightfall. Probably 
too late for these people, but we have to start 


evacuating now if we're going to salvage 
anything from this. If we're lucky, Anabasis will 
fire before the enemy overruns the place. If 
not, we'll have the advantage while they're 
trying to figure out what the fuck happened. 
Maybe they'll stir up enough of a shitstorm on 
the other side that we won't even have to deal 
with them. 


| hope this works. God save our race. 
Signing out. 


Addendum D-5: A fifth expedition into SCP-2084 was scheduled, 
but was delayed due to concerns regarding the hallucinogens within 
the building. Shortly thereafter, the fifth expedition was undertaken. 
No anomalous hallucinations took place, though an intact computer 
hard drive was recovered. Materials found on the drive are logged 
below.

SCP-2084 Email Correspondence 


E-mail correspondence between Ret. Col. Otis H. L. Umber and 
Agent Priscilla Locke. Recovered from an intact computer hard drive 
located within SCcP-2084 


Note: No such individual by the name of Otis H. L. Umber has been 
found to have served in any branch of the United States armed 
forces between the years of 1937 and 2006. 


Mr. Umber 

1/1/06 

Happy new year. Department of WestCiv says one-third of Australia 
is gone. 


Define ‘gone’, | asked. 
Gone. 


It was eleven hours until the Department even acknowledged what 
had happened. Six hours later, Anabasis was on everyone's lips. 


The official story is that the Qing broke through into Indochina, and 
the resistance dropped a bomb spreading some mutated synthetic 
plague, killing themselves while decimating the Qing Banners. 
Shitstorm erupts when it turns out the components were sold to 
them by us. "We don't trade with or support subhuman mongrels" 
the President said last year, all the while trading and supporting the 
"subhuman mongrels". 


Anabasis is the failsafe. In case the bio-weapon gets out of control. 


1/4/06 

Someone leaked to the Chinese about the bio-weapon and now 
they're pissed. Biological warfare wasn't their style, but when an 
eighth of their army is infected, they may as well go for it. 


You're probably too young to remember, Locke: 1937, the Japanese 
invaded the Qing Empire. This was before the "Western Civilization 
Party" got popular in the US. We were still a democracy back then. 
They brought the Kaiser in, and the Qing brought in the British and 
French, and the second world war started. 


It wasn't the war that turned people off from Asia; it was the 
occupation. How long do you occupy a nation of almost a billion 
before it stabilizes? Trick question; you don't. 


When the enemy outnumbers you ten to one, they can afford the 
losses. If just one of their men killed one of ours, they'd lose a lot of 
men and take a generation or two to recover; we'd lose our entire 
nation. 


And that's just the men—they had women and children fighting us, 
too. They'd dress as Japanese soldiers, Geishas, comfort women, 
then sneak back to their towns or villages and leave behind bombs. 
It got so bad, we tried to convince the Japanese to withdraw, just so 
we could identify the insurgents and make it easier for us round- 
eyes. 


When the Japanese said no, a stand-off ensued. They were thinking 
only about the power; the lands they'd gained, and keeping them at 
all costs. Roosevelt blinked, and the Western Civwvies devoured him. 
The propaganda campaign was indescribable. The coup that took 
place was brilliant; Klan members and communists and anti-semites, 
Southern Democrats and Northern Unionists, all united in hatred of 
the Chinese and fear of the Japanese, or the other way around. The 
distinction wouldn't matter for long. 


The British and Germans were with the Japanese, and if we split 
with them, we'd lose out much of the European market in trade. And 
once they solidified their hold on China, we'd be out of the world 
stage for a long time. So the Western Civvies came to power, and 
right away started shedding all the "bloat" from the Constitution, to 
make America more "streamlined and competitive" on the world 
stage. Meaning less "E Pluribus Unum" and more "Unum." 


You wouldn't have liked America pre-WestCiv, Locke. | know how 
you supremacist types are. Back then, it was a dirty secret if a 


D-11503 begins to speak in a monotone "robot 
voice" without natural inflection. 


D-11503: Greetings, humanoid. 


Dr. Andrews: Would you please identify 
yourself for the record? 


D-11503: | am D-Bot, unit model 11503 at your 
service. ! 


Dr. Andrews: You're a robot, you say? You 
look very lifelike. 


D-11503: | was programmed to appease 
humanoid sensibilities. 


Dr. Andrews: And how old are you? 


D-11503: | was activated at the Advanced 
Robotics Facility in Old New Hampshire on 
Earth, on January 12th 2592. 


Dr. Andrews: What is your purpose? 


D-11503: | am a fully modular service robot. 
My purpose is to assist Major John Patrick 
Proton of the Galactic Police Department in 
the apprehension of dangerous criminals. 


Dr. Andrews: When you say you're fully 
modular, what does that entail? 


D-11503: My body has been designed to make 
use of a wide variety of customizable limbs. | 
may remove my factory-installed appendages 
at will and replace them with those designed 
for specific purposes. 


Dr. Andrews: Could you please demonstrate 
now by removing your left arm? 


politician had any links to the Klan. Now, it's mandatory. You're 
probably angry now, Locke, smirking as you come up with sharp- 
witted comebacks and insinuations that I'm "anti-white". Let me ask 
you this, at least: Can you name a single civilization in history that 
has come to power, expanded, flourished, and survived by being 
exclusive and conservative? 


1/20/06 
It's war, then. Won't last long; half of China's infected by now. 


Has the Foundation told you what Anabasis is yet? | heard some 
from the Department today talking about it. I'm not sure they know 
what it is either. 


Met a young girl earlier today. Marlowe, her name was. Pretty. She 
looks kind of like you, Locke. Debriefed by the Chiefs of Staff 
regarding Anabasis and the bio-weapon. Or rather, they tried to. 


Story going around is the Anabasis is a quantum weapon of some 
sort only understood by people who know quantum. Quantum 
quantum, mass density, etc etc etc, photon spheres, something 
collapses, and a brand new something is born in space-time. "Not a 
black hole", she kept saying. Was a weapon, but they're talking 
about contingency plans for evacuating to some other dimension or 
universe. Pure science fiction turned reality. Everyone but me and 
Moreland understood. They wanted to know where Anabasis came 
from. That information is classified, she said with a smile, those 
sparkling blue eyes and alabaster skin so pretty when she came in, 
so disgustingly nasty and insufferable then. Couldn't get anything 
out of her. 


| don't think | told you about how we fought the insurgents in China. 
Normal wars are decided by battles; the occupation was decided by 
atrocities. It's the only weapon the enemy understands, and it's the 
only one that gets our soldiers back to their barracks at the end of 
each day in one piece. 


Average day in occupied China went like this: enemy attacks, falls 
back, we pursue into a village, enemy hides their weapons and put 
on civilian clothes. No one in the village knows anything. You can 
offer them chocolates, liquor, jewelry, any amount of western 


excess. They smile, pocket it, and say "Know nothing", as if that was 
the only English they knew. 


While your men start letting their guard down, talking to a kindly old 
man or old woman or flirting with a coy young dame, someone whips 
out a gun, or a grenade, and in six seconds someone in your squad 
is dead. 


They line up all the villagers, then. Orders are to execute them, as 
they sob and beg "Not kill, not kill. Innocent!" A private in our squad 
convinced the sergeant to let the women go one time. We started to 
untie them. One of them pulled a knife half as long as her forearm, 
and jabbed it in the private's throat hard enough to hit bone. The 
others started screaming. We killed them all. 


"One has a weapon, they all have a weapon" Sergeant says as we 
clean the village. 


The insurgents? As far as they were concerned, everyone in the 
village is dead as soon as American soldiers arrive. We learned 
from one of the POWs, "We make use of them before letting them 
rest" he said of supporting civilians. They don't know this; they think 
they'll get out alive somehow. 


That's how we lost China: we were good soldiers, they were good 
murderers. | forgot, what did the Western Civvies say lost us the 
war? Same old shit, | think—lack of passion, heart, lack of faith in 
the race, seditious activity. Sooken by men who never saw the 
jungles in Southeast Asia, where wounded men swallowed bullets 
so their comrades could dig them up and resupply at a later date, or 
the steppes of Manchuria, where a road to the capital was laid with 
corpses as if they were wooden planks, stretching nearly forty miles. 


So we left them, and let the Great Qing Empire defeat the Japanese 
and reclaim Indochina. And for that, the "Party for the Supremacy of 
Western Civilization" shamed us veterans. Small price to get out of 
China. 


2/13/06 
Bookstores are sold out of Xenophon. | don't see what his 
"Anabasis" has to do with ours. Thank you, by the way, for suffering 


an old man to ramble on about the past, | know you don't need any 
more miserable old stories of suffering and death. 


What's going on with you and that North Georgia boy? I'm assuming 
you eloped and that's why your grandma and | haven't heard a word 
from you since. You don't have to keep secrets from me. | was in the 
same spot as you not so long ago; | doubt working for the federal 
government is much different from that Foundation, the way you tell 
it—or what little of it you do tell of. 


I'd like to come down there some time. | know you'd rather come to 
me, but | could use a Summer with actual heat for once. 


2/15/06 

Been hearing rumors that the Anabasis wasn't created by us. Web is 
exploding with idiots claiming it's "ancient alien" tech, or some kind 
of secret New World Order stuff. The idea that this regime would 
work with Africa and Asia and even Europe is laughable. 
Remembering Dr. Marlowe's answers to the Chiefs' questions a 
while ago; she refused to answer anything regarding how Anabasis 
came to be without our knowledge. If we weren't in such shit, | 
imagine heads would roll over there. Best be on alert, just in case. 


3/3/06 

| guess that trip to Florida will have to wait. Media blackout around 
here. Department's saying it's insurgents stirring shit in the south. 
Not sure what you know, but up here we've been getting signs since 
last September of neo-liberal groups plotting protests and 
demonstrations. Full-blown rebellion came out of nowhere, though 
with so many eyes fixated on the bio-weapon slaughtering the 
Pacific rim, something like this was bound to happen. Stay safe 
down there. 


Agent Locke 

4/5/06 

Haven't heard from you in a month. Hoping this reaches 
you somehow. Don't know how much the Department 
tells you nowadays, but this isn't a rebellion anymore— 
the whole Miami-Dade region has pretty much been 
secured and the Cuban-Americans have assumed 
control. Pretty much seceded. We're fifteen, sixteen 


miles from the front line. Can't move. 


Heard the plague's reached the Midwest by now. Not 
sure what they're saying about its containment, but it's 
loose down here. | caught it. | survived. Usual symptoms. 
Immune. That helps; we've got a lock on a potential 
antibody, might have a cure within weeks. Front line is 
moving. 


4/6/06 

Vaccines aren't working. People keep dying. We're holed 
up in a school—every nearby building has been bombed 
out or scrapped for material. Rebels won't touch a school 
building. If they learn we're hoarding supplies in here, 
though, they'll tear the place apart. 


4/7/06 

Thought | heard Maine and Vermont were gone. Hoping 
against hope it was just a rumor. We're making progress 
on the vaccines. If this goes well enough, we might have 
a cure handy by the end of the month. We won't need 
Anabasis then. | know | said | wouldn't tell you anything 
about Anabasis but it's not the deus ex machina officials 
are making it out to be. | see it as our absolute last 
resort. It's imprecise, it's unstable, and it's completely 
beyond our capability to refine or control. 


4/9/06 

Status report. Situation has deteriorated significantly, as 
expected. Subjects aren't responding to vaccines. Best 
case scenario, asphyxiation within 2-3 minutes. Worst 
case... | don't know how to convey the horror. They keep 
moving. Twitching, jerking, some even standing upright 
for a moment, before collapsing in a heap. We have to 
burn them; they don't stop until they're ash. If you saw 
their corpses, you Saw mercy. 


Symptoms consistent with what we've been seeing in 
east Asia. Internal hemorrhaging, vomiting, diarrhea, lack 
of sweating leading to hyperthermia. A new symptom's 
showing in the newer cases; the itching. It's not enough 


to just scratch your ass and be done with it; it's 
persistent, and it burns. Some of the kids strip naked, 
unable to bear even the slightest touch, and start 
scratching until they bleed. Then they scratch some 
more. 


Medical logs... Dante couldn't imagine anything this 
hellish. First you see their names, starting with the 
refugees. Name, age, sex, symptoms, prescription, 
prognosis... the survivors are checked off in blue. You 
can go fifty, sixty names without seeing a mark. Further 
down you go, brevity dictates the entries; no names, no 
symptoms. The handwriting changes. Newcomer doesn't 
bother mincing words: "Female, 31, death. Male, 13, 
death." 


| could almost respect the inhumanity of an enemy willing 
to target civilians with a bio-weapon like this. When we 
learned the insurgents fumbled this badly... it's not even 
pitiable. People like that... they're too low to be animals, 
too stupid to be monsters, and too far gone to learn 
better. 


No. This isn't gonna work. Yesterday it was just booms 
and cracks of gunfire. Today you can differentiate 
between their shouts and ours. They'll overrun us by 
nightfall. Probably too late for these people, but we have 
to start evacuating now if we're going to salvage anything 
from this. If we're lucky, Anabasis will fire before the 
enemy overruns the place. If not, we'll have the 
advantage while they're trying to figure out what the fuck 
happened. Maybe they'll stir up enough of a shitstorm on 
the other side that we won't even have to deal with them. 


| hope this works. God save our race.

SCP-2084: Undated Instant Message Correspondence 


Note: The following conversation was recovered from a 

Messenger (an instant messaging service) log recovered from an 
intact computer hard drive located within scp-2084 between 
"Agent Locke" and an unknown individual believed to be the agent's 
sibling. Records of "Rhiannon Locke" turn up nothing of interest. 


Contents are made available to all Level 2 personnel and above 
assigned to SCP-2084. No content has been altered save for 
formatting changes. Log was apparently copied onto hard drive and 
edited at a later date. It is unknown what changes, if any, were 
made. 


(01:22:15) P_Locke: Hey. 


(01:23:01) P_Locke: | know you're there, | saw you about to type 
something 


(01:23:55) subhuman-mongrel: u try to see. u pride yorself on your 
perception. but you cant claim blindness any longer 


(01:25:00) P_Locke: You can't drop the "charismatic cult leader" act 
for your own sister, even? 


(01:25:11) subhuman-mongrel: what act? 


(01:26:40) P_Locke: Rhiannon, this is different from Key Biscayne, - 
I- might get in trouble. 


(01:27:02) subhuman-mongrel: you think i didn't forsee this and 
plan accordingly? 


(01:28:11) P_Locke: | know you don't give a shit, but think about me 
— you get yourself proscribed, the Foundation will start asking me 
questions and trying to use me to get to you 


(01:30:05) subhuman-mongrel: theyre coming to get 


meeeeeeeeeeceeeeee!!!111eleventyone11!! Ho ho hoooooo! Men In 
Black with their amnesty memory erasers- who am i? ur who we say 
u are now 


(01:33:12) P_Locke: | said they'd come after ME. They're not like 
you think, not like the feds, but if they know what | told you, | won't 
be able to contact you for a while. 


(01:37:01) P_Locke: Are you listening to me you prick? 


(01:40:26) subhuman-mongrel: speekin of which, how'r the 
hormones treating you, Prissy? 


(01:41:00) P_Locke: | hate you 

(01:41:17) subhuman-mongrel: <3<3<3 

(01:41:22) subhuman-mongrel: ok fine 

(01:41:25) subhuman-mongrel: srs talk 

(01:42:00) subhuman-mongrel: I'm keepin it quiet. happy? 
(01:42:14) P_Locke: That's not enough 


(01:42:33) subhuman-mongrel: no amnesty drugs, baby sister. | 
know wut | know and | know | ain't gonna un-know what | know 


(01:43:07) P_Locke: What do you know? 


(01:45:50) subhuman-mongrel: | know that a small child was at 
Key Biscayne. she couldn't have been older than 4 or 5. the west 
civvies had guns on her because she wouldn't stop followin momma 
cuffed and chained up. the mongrels were foamin', and some dirty 
white boy with a cleanshaven face—a SIN in the eyes of GOD — 
wasn't ready to be in the shit. TRIGGER DISCIPLINE dont they 
teach that in th army? 


(01:46:13) P_Locke: They were West-Civ local militia, not the army. 
And your cult drew first blood. 


(01:48:44) subhuman-mongrel: the dirty white boys didnt even wait 


for her body to drop before they started to open fire on the rest of 
the mongrels. they didn't even bother to stop when their magazine 
subscriptions ran low. Did u honestly think the mongrels would 
squeal and say uncle? Remember when u taught me how to make a 
molotov, you dirty jeckel? 


(01:49:14) P_Locke: You shouldn't have said that just now. 


(01:49:59) subhuman-mongrel: No free speech for the race traitor? 
freedom is only free for the WHITE MAN. you shoulda stuck with 
them, Prissy, theyd keep you as one of their own. Instead u choose 
to be a "phony". You know the laawwwwww Prissy; nothing stops 
them from killin you. Everyone knows you're a fake. 


(01:51:48) P_Locke: | told you already, the Foundation isn't like 
that. And you haven't answered me. 


(01:52:10) subhuman-mongrel: Anna Basset? 
(01:52:15) P_Locke: Yes. 


(01:55:11) subhuman-mongrel: | know Anal Bassist is apposed to 
go up. UP. UP in space. Up in time. | know Anal Bassist is a 
fffffffffraud. u oughtn't have shown me those pics, Prissy 


(01:56:20) P_Locke: What do you mean a fraud? 
(01:57:10) subhuman-mongrel: You know. U no. Ewe neaux. 
(01:57:44) P_Locke: Assume that | don't. 


(01:58:07) subhuman-mongrel: u want on record just how badly u 
fucked up 


(01:58:15) subhuman-mongrel: fine 


(01:59:40) subhuman-mongrel: | saw those pics and | read those 
experiments. Uou saw the numbers. 1, 2, 5, 7, 80, 6200. killo- 
meters, you said. Killo-meters, you believed. Am | wrong? 


(02:00:03) P_Locke: It is. The tests showed that. 


(02:01:32) subhuman-mongrel: test 1 encompassed a third of the 
room. test 2 encompassed the whole room. | kno Killy-meeders ain't 
as big as imperial Miles, but that's not even fuckin close, do u see? 


(02:02:02) P_Locke: What 


(02:04:11) subhuman-mongrel: Oh no, little girly, was that 
pterodacted and sponged? | kno the men in black love X-sponging 
the truth. Have u so badly failed math, baby girl? 


(02:05:32) P_Locke: No 


(02:06:00) subhuman-mongrel: then you are just as guilty. Soeak 
your crime, Prissy. confess your sin 


(02:07:41) P_Locke: You act like we did it intentionally. It's not ours, 
Rhie—we found it like that, and we can't just "fix it" like a fucking 
cable box. this is above and beyond anything we can understand. 
We can't afford to lose it now. 


(02:08:50) subhuman-mongrel: Fly, little birds, fly away. Leave us 
to ur mess, cowards 


(02:10:10) P_Locke: You expect us to just tell everyone? "Sorry, if 
you don't live here, you're fucked"? 


(02:11:30) subhuman-mongrel: They would eat you by your own 
light 


(02:12:02) subhuman-mongrel: But who cares. youll be safe, the 
Omg 5ives will be safe, every man in black who matters will be safe. 


(02:13:40) subhuman-mongrel: how many Anabasioi are there, 
Prissy? 


(02:14:00) P_Locke: One 


(02:14:43) subhuman-mongrel: You're lying to me Prissy and if 
you lie to me | will block you and then you will be forced to pick up 
the fucking phone and actually talk to me. 


(02:15:02) subhuman-mongrel: How Many Anabasis machines are 


there in your custody, in the world, Priscilla Locke? 
(02:16:10) P_Locke: One 


(02:16:12) user subhuman-mongrel appears to be offline 


D-11503: Affirmative. 


D-11503 grabs his left arm at the shoulder with 
his right hand and attempts, unsuccesstully, to 
remove it by unscrewing it from its socket. 


D-11503: | seem to be experiencing a 
malfunction. Please refer to my operating 
manual for information on how to resolve this 
difficulty. 


Dr. Andrews: Never mind, D-Bot. Are you 
capable of solving logic problems? 


D-11503: | am programmed to answer any and 
all queries directed to me. 


Dr. Andrews: A man has been sentenced to 
death. The morning of his execution, the 
executioner tells the condemned man he is to 
be either hanged or drowned, and tells the 
man to ask him one yes or no question, which 
he is compelled to answer truthfully. If the 
answer to the question is "yes", then the man 
will be hanged. If the answer is "no", then the 
man will be drowned. The man asks "Are you 
going to drown me?" Will the man be hanged, 
or will be he drowned? 


D-11503 is silent for 38 seconds. 
Dr. Andrews: D-Bot? 
D-11503: Error. Error. 
Dr. Andrews: | beg your pardon? 


D-11503: If answer = no then result = 
drowning. But no = incorrect if result = 
drowning. Therefore drowning = impossible, 
result = hanging. Hanging = impossible if 
answer = no. Error. Error. Does not compute. 


SCP-2085: The Black Rabbit Company 


Item #: SCP-2085 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2085 is contained within a 
modified Type-05 Humanoid Containment Unit. No attempts to 
isolate or remove SCP-2085-1 are authorized until SCP-2085's 
containment implants can be effectively replicated. In the case of 
SCP-2085-1 overcoming SCP-2085's containment implants, 
SCP-2085 and SCP-2085-1 are to be terminated. 


SCP-2085 requires a liquid diet, to the specifics outlined in 
Document 2085-MED. 


All instances of SCP-2085-A are to be contained within separate 
Type-05 Humanoid Containment Units. Wireless signal jammers are 
to be installed in the surrounding area to prevent communication 
between specimens. SCP-2085-A specimens are to be sedated and 
restrained before removal from containment chambers, or in any 
situation requiring entry to the containment chamber. 


Description: SCP-2085 is a male human of indeterminate ethnicity 
between 40 and 55 years of age, measuring 1.7 meters in height 
and weighing 68 kilograms. SCP-2085 is in generally poor health, 
with conditions including vitamin D deficiency (now lessened due to 
changes in diet), acute radiation syndrome (symptoms indicate at 
least three doses of ~2 Gy), and heavy scarring from severe and 
repeated skin ulceration. SCP-2085 is fluent in English and is 
generally cooperative with staff. SCP-2085 wears an S1035 ACES! 
at all times, generally accompanied by a bathrobe and red felt 
wizard's hat. SCP-2085 has been permitted to retain possession of 
these items to encourage cooperation. 


SCP-2085 has undergone significant cybernetic and genetic 
enhancement, including: 


« Adaptation of the gastrointestinal tract for a liquid diet. Esophageal 
input port and waste output port are integrated into the suit. 

¢ Skin modifications to regulate sweat and reduce abrasion damage 
from extended suit usage. 

* Modification of sebaceous sweat glands to secrete an artificial 
biofilm to aid in skin regeneration. This biofilm additionally gives 
SCP-2085 a strong scent of mint. 

* Replacement of 11 missing digits. 

* Containment implants for SCP-2085-1. 


See Document 2085-EXP for extended information on all known 
enhancements. 


These modifications appear to have been accrued over a long 
period of time from a variety of sources. For example, many parts of 
the SCP-2085-1 containment implants have been replaced or 
modified, and the three replacement fingers on the left hand are all 
of different design and quality. According to SCP-2085, the oldest of 
these implants date to 2010, with the most recent dating to three 
weeks before recovery. 


SCP-2085-1 is a fibrous mass of motile, self-replicating carbon 
nanomaterials inhabiting SCP-2085’s chest cavity, with growths 
protruding into the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, spinal cord, and left 
lung. The growth of the SCP-2085-1 and its consumption of 
SCP-2085’s body tissues has been impeded through the addition of 
various containment implants used to sever communication between 
growth sections and control nodes, and counter the replication 
process. 


SCP-2085-1’s rate of replication without the influence of these 
containment implants is unknown: SCP-2085-1’s periods of activity 
occur, on average, once every three months. The process lasts for 
up to fifteen minutes and causes SCP-2085 intense pain. SCP-2085 
has claimed to communicate with SCP-2085-1 during periods of 
activity, though this claim has not been verified. 


SCP-2085-A is a group of five augmented female humans of 
Japanese origin, designated SCP-2085-A-1 through SCP-2085-A-5. 
SCP-2085-A instances are genetically identical, and measure 
between 1.9 and 2 meters in height and between 70 and 95 


kilograms in weight. Variables in height and weight have been 
attributed to the augmentation process. Subjects are fluent in 
Japanese, Russian, and English and are generally uncooperative 
with staff. Eight escape attempts by SCP-2085-A were made 
between initial containment and / /2013, with no successes. 
SCP-2085-A-4 in particular has attempted five of the eight attempts. 
No further attempts were made after / /2013. 


As with SCP-2085, SCP-2085-A specimens display an array of 
genetic and cybernetic enhancements, including: 


* Cosmetic genetic splices of Felis catus physiology, including ears, 
tails, and hair coloration. Tails are prehensile and capable of holding 
small objects. 

* Grip pads located on the hands and feet. 

¢ Retractable blades in the fingers and knuckles. 

* Ocular implants with thermal vision, heads-up display, and 
recording equipment 

* Carbon-nanoweave muscle fiber augmentation and reinforced 
endoskeleton 

¢ Wireless communication suite with local tactical network 

¢ Drug glands providing pain dampening, heightened sensory 
awareness, and altered pheromones. 


SCP-2085-A implants are of a higher quality than those found in 
SCP-2085, and show no signs of modification after installation. 
Implants are uniform in design, indicating a single source. 


See Document SCP-2085-A-EXP for further information on 
SCP-2085-A specimens. 


SCP-2085 and SCP-2085-A have been linked to numerous criminal 
operations occurring between 2010 and 2013, including smuggling, 
theft, kidnapping, extortion, possession of fissile materials, corporate 
sabotage, embezzlement, copyright infringement, piracy, possession 
of narcotics with intent to sell, and tax evasion. The targets of these 
operations have been almost exclusively criminal organizations. 
SCP-2085’s area of operations consisted primarily in Russia, China, 
Japan, and Southeast Asia. The location of SCP-2085’s base of 
operations, if extant, is unknown, as are connections to any other 
groups. The recovered assets of the group consist solely of 


equipment held upon recovery. 


SCP-2085 and SCP-2085-A were initially recovered on / /2013 in 
Kowloon, Hong Kong, during a heist carried out by the group against 
the Sun Yee On triad. The incident was blamed on inter-gang 
violence initiated by the rival 14K triad.

Entry interview 
Researcher : Please state your name for the record. 


SCP-2085-A-1: Major Motoko Kusanagi$ representing 
the Black Rabbit Company. 


Researcher : Can you explain what it is that your 
company does? 


SCP-2085-A-1: We’re an employee-owned private 
security group. In plain speech, we do everything. 
Security, deliveries, birthday parties... 


Researcher : Birthday parties? 
SCP-2085-A-1: Long story, complete disaster. 


Researcher : Indeed. Could you elaborate on any of 
these? 


SCP-2085-A-1: No. Let’s be honest here: Both of our 
respective organizations are of sketchy legality on the 
best of days. It’s obvious, there's no use denying it. You 
don’t trust us, and we certainly aren’t going to trust you. 
With that in mind, it would be best for us to just go our 


separate ways. 


Researcher : I’m afraid that’s not possible at this 
time. 


SCP-2085-A-1: Suit yourself. 
Interview recorded on / /2014. 
<Log begins> 
Researcher : Thank you for speaking with us, A-1. 


SCP-2085-A-1: Don’t thank me too soon. Wizard’s going 
to try something. 


Researcher : How do you know? 


SCP-2085-A-1: We've been here for four months now. 
He'll be getting stir-crazy. You can probably see the 
signs now. He’s talking less, avoiding questions, acting 
jumpy, pacing around his room, bored out of his mind. 


[Folds hands] 


I'll lay it out plain. We in the Company have got a lot of 
dreams, and Wizard is no exception. Dreams cost a lot 
of money. Money can’t be made with everyone sitting on 
their asses in here. Four months is too long, long enough 
that things start falling apart and plans start falling behind 
schedule. Now, I'm a patient woman, | can play the 
waiting game, but Wizard? The longer he’s holed up in 
here, the more likely it is he'll try being the big hero and 
plotting a way out. It’s practically a guarantee by this 
point. 


Researcher : What do you think he'll do? 


SCP-2085-A-1: Something stupid. Something loud and 
obvious and terribly stupid. Something that'll get him 
kicked in the teeth quick. He’s a bigger danger to himself 
than anyone else when he gets like this. 


Researcher : We'll put him under increased 
surveillance. 


SCP-2085-A-1: Thanks. And, if you could, tell him we’re 
doing all right. That, and ‘Goddamn raisins.’ 


Researcher : Excuse me? 
SCP-2085-A-1: It’s nothing. Just a joke between us.

Researcher : Please state your name for the record. 


SCP-2085-A-2: Milly Thompson. 


Researcher : Can you tell me anything about the 
Black Rabbit Company’s activities prior to your stay 
here? 


SCP-2085-A-2: How much time do you have? 
Researcher : AS much time as you need. 


SCP-2085-A-2: Awesome. So there was this one time 
we were up in Kamchatka, you know, the little dangly 
part of Russia, and we’re breaking into this old Soviet 


bunker. Place hadn't been opened up in over thirty years 
and was overrun by psychics. Wizard managed to cut a 
deal with them and got on the inside. The merchandise 
we were selling them was all fake of course, but they 
didn’t realize that until we started shooting... 


[SCP-2085-A-2 continued in this manner for two hours 
and fifty-three minutes. Events described were, in order: 
Raid on a sealed Soviet-era bunker with presumed GRU- 
P connections (Confirmed), breakup of an Ukranian sex 
trafficking ring (Confirmed but not linked to the group by 
other sources), a spate of raids under the guise of a San 
Francisco pizza delivery service (Unconfirmed), and the 
declaration of SCP-2085-A-4 as Queen of Thailand 
(Unconfirmed).]

Notes: Highly cooperative. Currently shows signs of depression due 


to extended isolation. Has refused meeting with Foundation 


psychologists. Potentially willing to divulge sensitive information out 


of concern for SCP-2085 and fellow SCP-2085-A subjects. 
Entry interview 
Researcher : Please state your name for the record. 
SCP-2085-A-3: Aisha Clan-Clan. 


Researcher : What can you tell me about your friend 
Wizard’s condition? 


SCP-2085-A-3: Oh, Red. It’s... well, it’s not very pretty. 
Wizard doesn’t like talking about it a lot, doesn’t want to 
make a lot of trouble about it and make us worry about 
him. But we know what to do in case it starts acting up. 


Researcher : And what do you do when that 
happens? 


SCP-2085-A-3: We get him his toolkit, and if we need to 
do anything else he tells us then. Most of the time he can 
do it himself, but sometimes he needs help from 
someone else. 


Researcher : Can you tell me anything about these 
people? 


SCP-2085-A-3: Uh, no. Not really. They keep to 
themselves. 


Researcher : All right. If you could tell me anything 
else about his condition, please. 


SCP-2085-A-3: Wizard says Red talks to him, whispers 
all this horrible stuff to him when it’s growing. That it’s 
just going to eat away with him until there’s nothing left, 
and that that’s what going to happen to everyone 
eventually. | don’t know if it actually does talk, | mean, | 
believe it does but | haven't heard it... it makes sense, 
for a cancer. 


Researcher : Can you tell me anything about 
Wizard’s history? What he did before? 


SCP-2085-A-3: Not really. He mentioned a long time ago 
that he used to be married and had kids, but he never 
brought it up again. They probably think he’s dead or that 
he ran off or something like that, and he doesn’t have 
any connections with jobs or friends. He doesn’t really 
have anything left from back then, so we’re his family 
now. 


Statement by SCP-2085-A-3, / /2014: 
What do you want from us? 


| haven't seen the sun in months. | haven’t seen my 
sisters in months. | haven't seen Wizard in months. | 
haven't even been able to speak with any of them. | don’t 
even know if they’re alive or not anymore, and it hurts 


just as much to believe that they’re alive than it is to think 
that they are dead. 


What do you want from us? Do you want our eyes and 
bones and all the metal inside us? Take it. Take it all, | 
don’t care. Leave us blind and crippled but at least let us 
be blind and crippled and free. If we must crawl and beg 
in the mud and shit, at least let us do it together. 


Are you trying to punish us for something? Are you trying 
to punish us for killing murderers? Are you trying to 
punish us for stealing from thieves? Are you trying to 
punish us for trying to put a little bit of good into the 
world? 


Perhaps you are. All those people out there, the drug 
lords and the pimps and the loan sharks and the mafia 
dons and the maniacs and the thugs and the bullies and 
each and every goddamn person in this world who 
makes it their job to tear out people’s hopes and build an 
empire on their corpses, they’re your kin. You just 
learned how to be polite, how to dress up in labcoats and 
say please and thank you and pretend to be decent 
human beings. You smile, and you pretend, and you give 
us three meals a day and a bed and sometimes a few 
books, and you pretend like it justifies locking us in here 
like animals in cages or dolls on a shelf. 


What am | to you? Am | even human in your eyes? 


And look. All that work, all that scraping along, and now 
we're right back in the place we escaped. Just animals in 
cages, pretty women in boxes. 


We were going to get to space. We were going to build 
the ship, and the six of us would go all the way up past 
the sky and look down at the world, and we would have 
won. We’d laugh and cheer and shout “We did it! We 
fucking did it!”, and for a brief moment we would be 
completely free. We would be alive. And we could show 
everyone that it’s okay, that they can be free too, that 


they can be alive. We'd help them. And now... nothing. 


What do you want from us? What have we done?

Test Subject: D-67539 (Caucasian female, 26 years 
old) 

Franchise Exposure: One short story collection 
(Starship Days), one unauthorized fan-fiction short story 
(Major Sarah) 

Foreword: None of the official Jack Proton stories 
feature female characters as protagonists or action- 
oriented supporting characters. Prior to Interview 232-3, 
all experiments with female test subjects had resulted in 
the subject developing the personality of a damsel-in- 
distress or innocent-bystander persona. Major Sarah, an 
unauthorized piece of short fiction published in 1972 by 
the fanzine Junior Action Squad, which details the 
experience of the first woman to join the Galactic Police 
Department and her subsequent forbidden love affair 
with Jack Proton, was introduced in order to determine 
whether third-party fiction set in the Jack Proton universe 
would have an impact on the results of exposure.

[SCP-2085-A-4 punches observation divider, creating a 
large crack in the pane. Subject smiles.] 


SCP-2085-A-4 [Draws back fist, flexes fingers] Muda

Subject laughs. ] 


[Researcher activates lockdown procedures. 
Protective shutter is lowered, aerosol sedatives are 
pumped into containment unit. SCP-2085-A-4 continues 
punching barrier, as Researcher exits interview 
room. 


SCP-2085-A-4: [Muffled screaming] 
SCP-2085-A-4: CUNT! 


Incident 2085-A-4-11: / /2013 - SCP-2085-A-4 claimed 
willingness to provide video logs of the group’s former operations in 
exchange for the lifting of sanctions placed upon the subject after 
repeated escape attempts. The offer was accepted: however, due to 
SCP-2085-A-4’s history in containment, the provided file was 
accessed in an isolated network by D-class personnel in the case of 
viral, memetic, or cognitohazardous agents. 


The provided video file, titled Noxpute_roBHa_ocnoe6bl.avi, 
consisted of a 46:34 minute slideshow consisting of various still 
images and video footage of fecal matter, accompanied by a looped 
recording of folk song “Korobeiniki”, as performed by the Red Army 
Choir. The file also contained a single-use audio-transference 
cognitohazard inducing severe anaphylaxis and exudative diarrhea 
in the observing D-Class subject. D-Class subject died four minutes 
after initial access of the file. File was disposed of without incident. 


Sanctions placed upon SCP-2085-A-4 have remained in place. 


Height: 1.9 m

Notes: While not hostile, subject has refused to cooperate or provide 
information. Nose is deformed from numerous breaks. 


Entry interview 
Researcher : Please state your name for the record. 
SCP-2085-A-5: Molly Millions. 


Researcher : Can you tell me about the Black Rabbit 
Company? 


SCP-2085-A-5: No. 

Researcher : Can you tell me about Wizard? 
SCP-2085-A-5: No. 

Researcher : Can you tell me about Red? 
SCP-2085-A-5: No. 


Researcher : Are you willing to answer any 
questions at all? 


SCP-2085-A-5: No. 


Researcher : Do you ever want to get out of this 
cell? 


SCP-2085-A-5: N- 
Researcher : Gotcha. 
SCP-2085-A-5: [Silence.] 


Researcher : Look. I’m trying to be patient with you 
all, but | have a job to do. You could make it easy on 
yourself by either cooperating with me or just refusing 
outright, but drawing it out like this does nothing but 


make things difficult and unpleasant for both of us. Until 
you decide to act reasonable, this interview is over. 


Incident 2085-A-5-1: / /2014— The following note was given to 
staff by SCP-2085-A-5. It is the first communication between 
SCP-2085-A-5 and staff since the entry interview. The note was as 
follows: 


Sorry. 


Incident 2085-A-5-1: / /2014 - Upon receiving breakfast, 
SCP-2085-A-5 sat down and proceeded to sing “Happy Birthday”. Of 
note is the use of “us” for the recipient. 


Addendum-02: The following log was recorded on / /2013. 
<Log begins> 


Researcher : SCP-2085, could we ask you a few 
questions? 


SCP-2085: Mm? Oh. Yeah. Sure. Hold on a tic. 


[SCP-2085 puts on bathrobe and wizard hat, moves 
chair to interview window, and sits down] 


SCP-2085: There we go. Ask away. 


Researcher : All right. First, we were wondering if 
you'd be able to tell us about your history: your name, 
where you’re from, basic information like that. 


SCP-2085: Uh... I’m a space wizard, | come from space. 


Researcher : That’s not particularly helpful, 
SCP-2085. 


SCP-2085: Look, it isn’t important. I’m an average guy 
from an average background. If Joe Everyman and John 
Doe were a gay couple who adopted a kid, | would be 
the next door neighbor who doesn’t even get a mention 
in the newspaper. 


Researcher : Very well. With that out of the way, we 
were wondering if you could tell us about your assistants. 


SCP-2085: Oh, the girls? They’re the best, aren’t they? 
You would not believe the scraps they’ve gotten me out 
of. There was this one time in Moscow, when- 


Researcher : We can save that for another time. 
We're more interested in how you came across them. 


SCP-2085: [Sigh] That’s something of an interesting 
story. | wasn’t in a good place in my life around then. 
Running around, trying to fix all this shit, [Taps chest] 
wondering if there was any purpose at all or if | should 
just give up and die. Scraped by with implants from some 
pretty shady characters. One of them turned out to make 
custom jobs for corporate execs who wanted some 
muscle or rich perverts who wanted sex toys. | was at 
the clinic to get some new parts, and when I'm going 
through the installation process, BOOM! Big explosion 
and those five come barging out guns blazing. | just start 
booking it with my chest half open, because when a six- 
foot-four two-hundred-ten pound Japanese woman with 
an assault rifle barges through the wall, you run. 
Following this is a long series of shenanigans wherein 
we met up, split up, meet up again, get shot at by the 
guy's business partners, shoot back at the guy's 
business partners, save each others' lives multiple times, 
[As an aside] mostly them hauling my ass out of the fire 
[Aside ends], steal a boat and high-tail it out of Japan. 


We whipped up the charter for the Black Rabbit 
Company on our first night out of the country, right there 
on the boat. It was their idea, | just got kinda roped in as 
the face of the operation because of my rugged good 
looks and natural charisma. Not like | could do all the 
physical stuff anyway. But it was right then, as we were 
working out the details of everything, that | got inspired. 
One of those once-in-a-lifetime life-changing inspirations. 
They fought back against the shit life threw at them. | 
could to. So | did. | wasn't some guy dying from some 


freaky cancer in his chest: | was the Space Wizard. 
[Pause] 


And we've been friends ever since. Don't know what I'd 
do without them. Probably end up dead. You better be 
treating them well. 


Researcher : We are. 
SCP-2085: Good. 


Researcher : Could you explain to us the entity 
currently living inside you? 


SCP-2085: Ah. Red. Long story there. 
Researcher : We have time. 


SCP-2085: I'll keep it short, anyway. Basically, this thing, 
Red, it’s my opposite. My sort of evil twin. Fell from the 
sky in a meteorite a few winters back. Red’s got no hope 
left, no more room for dreams, and all it can do is leech 
and wait. Nothing but despair left for Red, so anyone 
having hope, anyone having dreams, it hates that. That’s 
the nutshell. 


Researcher : Mmmm. One last question: why the 
costume? 


SCP-2085: This? Easy. It’s a symbol. Super-hero thing. 
lt helps people believe easier, because symbols and 
icons are easier to believe in than people, a lot of the 
time. The world doesn’t like letting people believe in 
people, so they have to make do with symbols. 


Like, just look at a bunch of kids playing pretend on the 
playground. They see the world, look out at it, and then 
go ‘No, fuck you world, I’m going to make something 
better, I’m going to be something better.’ They aren't 
going to laugh at the space wizards and cyborg catgirls, 
because they want to be the space wizards and cyborg 


catgirls. They're going to build spaceships and go to the 
moon and let nothing get in their way. Then they grow 
up, and find out that the world is built on broken dreams. 
They give their dreams to the world to find a place in the 
machine and the world tells them to build a box. They 
stick themselves in the box and sit there until they die, 
and the boxes go on until the universe ends. That's the 
box the girls were fighting against. That's the box I'm 
fighting against. We're going to be what the rest of the 
world could be, do what the rest of the world could do, 
take all those dreams and bring them back. If we need to 
get our hands dirty, so be it. The world is dirty and we 
have to deal with it until we can make something better. 
We're going to remind the world what it's like to not live 
inside a box.

SCP-2086: Rerouting 


Item #: SCP-2086 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: News reports in all major towns 
and cities are to be monitored for missing persons that had recently 
or regularly used public transport. Agents are to be dispatched to 
high-threat regions on a semi-regular basis. 


All recently discovered SCP-2086 colonies are to be condemned 
and demolished with chemical explosives. Standard media 
suppression tactics are to be applied during this entire procedure. 


As of this writing, five specimens of SCP-2086 are in Foundation 
custody. All specimens are stored in what had previously been an 
aircraft hanger. Because of their short lifespans and high 
reproduction rates, the number of SCP-2086 instances in 
Foundation custody shifts regularly. 


Terminated specimens formerly in Foundation custody are to be 
moved to a specialized cold storage container at Site- for study. 


Description: SCP-2086 is a species of arthropod that resembles 
various makes, models, and brandings of public transport vehicles, 
typically buses. Mature SCP-2086 instances weigh approximately 
17000kg, although this number can vary greatly. Juveniles typically 
weigh less than 200kg. 


A newborn specimen of SCP-2086 can be expected to grow to full 
size within one week. On average, SCP-2086 specimens live twelve 
to fifteen days, with females producing up to twenty offspring after 
reaching reproduction age at approximately eight days. 


Mature instances of SCP-2086 do not feed, instead living off of 
nutrients consumed as juveniles. However, only mature instances of 


SCP-2086 display foraging behaviors. 


When foraging, SCP-2086 are almost indistinguishable from 
standard automobiles, although closer examinations reveal the 
steel, wood, plastic, and glass to be a specialized form of chitin. Vital 
organs such as the heart, brain, and stomach are stored beneath 
the flooring of SCP-2086's inner chamber. 


A human corpse, preserved in a shellac-like substance, typically 
serves as the decoy driver of wild SCP-2086 instances. Fibrous 
appendages protrude into the corpse. SCP-2086 instances use 
these fibers to manipulate the corpse, providing a more life-like 
appearance. 


SCP-2086 instances can unravel their ‘roofs’ into wings that are 
capable of lifting the entire organism in flight, which is their standard 
method of locomotion when not foraging. In addition, the ‘wheels’ 
can unravel into long, grey or black legs while the headlights appear 
to serve as bioluminescent optical organs. 


The appendages of SCP-2086 instances are abnormally apt at fine 
manipulation when compared to other species of arthropod. 
Specimens have been observed building crude shelters with the 
materials located at their nesting grounds. 


SCP-2086 typically nest in abandoned junk and scrap yards. 
Juvenile instances in the wild have been observed removing bus 
stop signposts and relocating them, typically in a route that leads 
back to the local colony. Accidental civilian observation of SCP-2086 
instances engaging in this activity is minimized due to the 
significantly smaller size of juvenile specimens. 


The mature instances of SCP-2086 will drive along the route laid by 
the juveniles, picking up human passengers. Once a significant 
number of humans board an instance of SCP-2086, the organism 
will release a substance similar to chloroform to incapacitate its 


prey. 


Upon returning to the colony, juvenile SCP-2086 instances will enter 
the mature instance's internal chamber. Each passenger is then 
forcefully removed from the mature instance by a juvenile. 


The juvenile SCP-2086 instance will proceed to force the human 
through a sphincter located under their hood, linking to where the 
steering wheel and driver's seat is typically located in mature 
specimens. Once consumed, hair-like appendages attached to the 
driver's seat will pierce the trapped human's body. These 
appendages serve as feeding tubes, draining blood from the prey. 


Once the prey has been drained of blood, the feeding tubes will 
begin to secrete a saline solution into the corpse. The internal 
compartment will then begin to fill with a shellac-like substance, 
preserving the corpse.

SCP-2087: The Best of All Possible Worlds 


Item #: SCP-2087 
Object Class: Euclid 


Containment Procedures: Pursuant to Causal Boundary 
Agreement 04234a, the Foundation shall not engage in initial 
attempts to contain instances of SCP-2087-01. Instead, designated 
Foundation monitors shall radioactively tag instances of 
SCP-2087-01 and monitor, pending the instance’s self-containment 
at a Foundation-designated facility. Upon self-containment, the 
Foundation is to arrange living quarters which correspond, insofar as 
it is practicable, to the transboundary containment areas. 


In the event that an instance of SCP-2087-01 fails to self-contain 
within 48 hours of radioactive dye administration, Foundation 
personnel shall contact the Intercausal Liason Office, institute a 70m 
cordon around all areas habitually visited by SCP-2087-01, and 
institute broad-spectrum amnestic therapy at all incident sites as 
necessary. No attempt is to be made to contain until confirmation of 
noncontainment is received from the Foundation Intercausal Liason 
office. WARNING: By order of 05-03, intercausal liason activities 
related to SCP-2087 are presently suspended. For more information 
and associated documents, consult SCP-2087-CN-34a. 


In addition, the Foundation shall attempt to contain all radioactively 
tagged individuals determined by cross-boundary containment 
partners to be instances of SCP-2087-02. Individuals determined to 
be instances of SCP-2087-02 shall be contained notwithstanding the 
presence or absence of overt anomalous features; radiotagging 
shall be considered sufficient evidence of anomalous events. 


Description: SCP-2087 [formerly classified SCP- ,SCP-  ,and 
SCP-  ]is an anomalous causal phenomenon caused by 
incomplete divergence of adjacent timelines. To date, all identified 
divergences have affected individuals. For theoretical 


Marie van Saturnburgh, sir! 


Dr. Andrews: No need to be so formal, 
Lieutenant. Please relax. 


D-67539: Sir, | didn't get where | am today by 
relaxing, sir! 


Dr. Andrews: I'm not an officer. You don't 
need to call me sir. 


D-67539 pauses. 
D-67539: Sir, I... yes, sir. Yes. 


Dr. Andrews: You mentioned "getting where 
you are today". Where is that? 


D-67539: I'm currently the youngest officer in 
the Galactic Police Department. 


Dr. Andrews: How old are you? 
D-67539: Seventeen. 


Dr. Andrews: You were commissioned at 
seventeen? 


D-67539: Not bad for a girl, huh? 


Dr. Andrews: Why did they accept you so 
young? 


D-67539: Because | wasn't wasting my time 
wearing frilly dresses and playing with dolls, 
that's why! 


Dr. Andrews: You must have been very goal- 
oriented to make it so young. Why did you 
want to be a space cop so badly? 


D-67539: To work with Jack Proton, of course. 


considerations, see Two Men With the Same Past: Anomalous 
Causal Couplings in Objective Bennett Spacetimes, [REFERENCE 
OMITTED]. 


SCP-2087-01 consists of individuals causally coupled to adjacent 
timelines. In all recorded cases, the divergence results from the 
individual's death in some, but not all, adjacent timelines. 
Accordingly, most affected individuals are distinguishable by the 
injuries which resulted in their death. All individuals, including those 
who did not die with visible injuries, exhibit variable causal 
synchronization with adjacent nonfatal timelines. These instances 
may be recognized by their characteristic "jerking," "snapping," or 
"blinking" movement. 


Inconsistent causal synchronization between SCP-2087-01 
instances and the primary timeline renders conventional 
containment strategies impractical. Accordingly, causal contact 
between primary-timeline and divergent-timeline Foundations is 
permitted to mitigate consensus risk.! Under the terms of Causal 
Boundary Agreement 04234a, the Foundation may tag individuals 
exhibiting signs of anomalous causal contact with Strontium-90 dye. 
Any such individuals are to be taken into custody by transboundary 
Foundation agents and stored until the causal coupling lapses or the 
affected individual dies. 


SCP-2087-02 consists of individuals tagged by divergent-timeline 
Foundations for containment. Individuals tagged for reciprocal 
containment are generally overtly nonanomalous; however, two 
affected individuals have exhibited symptoms of bilateral causal 
synchronization. Affected individuals are to be contained until no 
longer radioactively tagged.

CASE HISTORIES 


SUBJECT: Deborah A. ; SCP-2087-01-R5 


CAUSE OF DEATH: Automotive accident. 


GROSS ANATOMICAL SURVEY: Subject 
pronounced dead due to pedestrian/ 
automotive accident at 11:43 PM on 
07/09/1974. Initial physical trauma resulted in 
the avulsion of the right leg at the hip socket 
and amputation of left leg at the knee, blowout 
fracture of left eye socket, crushing trauma to 
left temporal bone, and compound fracture of 
right humerus. At initial observation, body was 
non-anomalous, and was transported to the 
University of Miami medical center for 
disposition. 


CASE HISTORY: On 07/11/1974, subject's 
upper torso was discovered, apparently 
conscious, in an unoccupied room the 
University of Miami intensive care unit. Medical 
personnel initially attempted to provide 
supportive medical care. Subject was 
pronounced dead a second time at 8:41 AM on 
07/11/1974. Medical personnel contacted local 
police, who forwarded the contact to the UIU. 
Foundation UIU embeds intercepted the case 
file and commenced containment in situ. 


On 07/13/1974, subject's legs were observed 
to return to the University of Miami medical 
center, collide with an exterior door, and 
commence movement consistent with a brisk 
walk. After 38 seconds, legs disappeared. 
After 17 seconds, legs reappeared in a 
second-floor interior stairwell, ascending 
toward the intensive care unit. The Foundation 
took measures to restrain subject's torso. By 
7:21 AM on 07/13/1974, legs had rejoined 
subject's body. 


Due to poor causal synchronization with 
primary spacetime, containment was lost at 


8:15 AM on 07/14/1974. Request for 
intercausal containment was escalated to 
05-03, and approved due to unacceptable 
consensus risk. Intercausal containment effort 
proved successful, and containment was 
resumed on 07/30/1974.

CASE HISTORIES 


SUBJECT: Subject Unidentified; 
SCP-2087-01-D3 


CAUSE OF DEATH: Unknown 


GROSS ANATOMICAL SURVEY: Subject 
presumed dead by 7/13/2003; body not 
recovered prior to activation as SCP-2087-01. 
Body has suffered extraordinary premortem 
damage. Skull, right arm, and torso distal to 
the 2nd thoracic vertebra are missing and 
presumed lost. Four molars, portions of the 
right orbit, and 300 mL of blood appear, 
appropriately positioned, in the region typically 
occupied by the head. 


CASE HISTORY: On 07/12/2003, routine 
monitoring of local newspapers alerted the 
Foundation to the case. A monitoring cordon 
was erected, and surveillance was 
commenced on 7/13/2003. First contact was 
initiated at 6:30 AM / /  , when subject arrived 
at the exterior door of a commercial building in 

, UK. Subject entered building, colliding 
with multiple storefront displays, and 
proceeded to a third-floor office. Subject then 
engaged in typical workday activities and 
exited the building at 5:58 PM. 


After primary containment, subject exited the 
building, proceeded 1.15 km northwest of 
initial site, and desynchronized with adjacent 
timeline. Containment was lost until subject 
reappeared in the Foundation-designated 
containment zone. On further investigation, 
subject could not be positively identified as a 
former or current resident of the building. 
Identity is still undetermined.

ICL-1: INCIDENT REVIEW AND STANDING ORDERS 


FINAL INCIDENT REVIEW: SCP-2087-ICL-1 


BACKGROUND: On 01/03/2012, Foundation 
distributed radiation detectors returned 
approximately 41m positive Strontium-90 
signals, distributed consistently with human 
population patterns. Per sampling protocol, 
ambient radiation detectors were brought 
offline, cycled, and returned to service, and 
transboundary contact was suspended until 
final resolution by the O5 council. Post-cycle 
readings exceeded operating parameters; 
post-exposure sampling three weeks later 
found that 21% of the human population 
received between 2 and 7 mSv of radiation 
exposure. 


On 01/04/2012, during a meeting of the full 
panel of the O5 council, all instances of 
SCP-2087-01 ceased activity. By unanimous 
decision of the O5 council, the Intercausal 
Liason Office was ordered sealed until 
additional instances of SCP-2087-01 are 
detected. 


STANDING ORDERS: As of 01/07/2012, 
transboundary contact is indefinitely 


suspended. All devices and Thaumiel-class 
artifacts permitting causal contact with 
adjacent timelines are, until further notice, to 
be reclassified as Keter. 


At present, the Foundation's standing 
hypothesis is that no adjacent timeline is viable 
for continued human life. As of 01/14/2013, it 
is confirmed that macro-scale deviations from 
the known timeline result in nonviable 
branching within ~4 nanoseconds. The viability 
of Planck-scale divergent timelines is presently 
unknown. The underlying reason for mass 
fatality in adjacent timelines is unknown. The 
reason for the continued viability of the primary 
timeline is, similarly, unknown. 


Research into this matter is ongoing. For 
access to real-time intertemporal monitoring 
and experimental results, consult with your 
Site Director. 


Footnotes 

1. Under the terms of Standing Order 2170b, causal contact with 
adjacent timelines is prohibited in order to reduce the risk of causal 
contamination by nonviable timelines. For further information and 
risk studies, consultThe Maw, the Voice, the Pinhole: Causal 
Adjacency Risk in Polytemporal Containment Scenarios,

« SCP-2086 | SCP-2087 | SCP-2088 » 


SCP-2088: The MC&D Center 


Item #: SCP-2088 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The entrance to SCP-2088 is 
currently owned by the group of interest Marshall, Carter and Dark. 
Containment procedures are currently dedicated to maintaining 
consistent observations and assessing the feasibility of an 
interplanetary mission to the facility. Foundation personnel working 
for United Kingdom-based front companies have business 
arrangements with Marshall, Carter and Dark to regularly attend 
SCP-2088 events. 


When not possible for a Foundation-backed observer to attend, 
listening devices are to be placed in the bags of the attendants. 


Description: SCP-2088 is a facility located on Pallene, a moon 
orbiting Saturn. The purpose of this facility is to act as concert hall 
and general event venue. Its apparent customer base consists of 
intelligent species residing in the Milky Way galaxy. Patronage is 
heavily segregated, with separate seating areas for eleven separate 
races. Each divided area contains its own seats, concessions, view 
of the stage, and atmosphere. 


The entry point for SCP-2088 on Earth is always an MC&D 
clubhouse. All persons who purchase tickets within the location are 
instantaneously teleported to SCP-2088 thirty minutes before the 
start of the event, and returned ten minutes after the event's 
conclusion. Access is generally limited to 45 individuals at one time, 
although this is not a fixed number. Events usually occur at least 
once per month, although there are usually 3 to 5 in a month. 


Performances at SCP-2088 have been recorded in length between 
25 seconds and 3 weeks. 


Although MC&D only owns one section of seats, they appear to 
have also purchased the naming rights to the arena, as their 
iconography and logo appear prominently throughout the facility. 
This branding was how the area was discovered, after a Foundation 
satellite monitoring SCP-1683 detected an anomalous feature on 
Pallene's surface. 


Inquiry to MC&D through Foundation front companies revealed 
details of SCP-2088's existence, and current containment 
procedures were enacted on 10/18/2002. 


Addendum 2088-A: Selected SCP-2088 Observations: 


Event Description: Starwatch. Top of the building was 
rendered transparent, with spotlights pointing out 
different clusters of stars and describing how they will be 
destroyed at some point in the future. This concluded 
with a lengthy description of the eventual heat death of 
the universe. 


Act(s): Brief astronomy lecture, followed by stargazing. 
Length: 4 hours. 


Notes: Free t-shirt giveaway. Only shirts specific to 
humans could be recovered. Contained no unusual 
traits, and had the Marshall, Carter and Dark logo printed 
on the front. 


Event Description: Music. Several groups of entities! 
performed music. Several acts did not appear to produce 
any sound at all, and did not appear on stage at all, but 
were advertised as distant masses performing with 
gravity waves instead of sound waves. 


Act(s): The only music acts with Earth-compatible 
translations on the schedule were named Jazz Ragged, 
Repetitious Mammal, and They're Certainly Dwarves. 


Length: 11 hours, 45 minutes. 


Notes: English translator of the first band's singer 
repeatedly said it expressed gratitude for the denizens of 
the milky way galaxy for coming to the show. Other acts 
have included references to 'greater-planetary area’, 
‘greater Sol region’ and 'collected citizens of the 
corporations’. 


Event Description: Comedy. One performer, who 
appeared to be composed entirely out of matted, wet, 
hair, gave a standup comedy performance describing 
various aspects of its job as a technician. As the show 
went on, the entity began shedding hair and began to 
make mistakes in delivering its jokes. The show ended 
earlier than schedule when the entity shed its entire form 
and expired. 


Act(s): Standup comedy from 'DAMP'. 
Length: 1 hour, 13 minutes. 


Notes: Several members of the group were turned away 
due to having empty body cavities larger than were 
allowed by the building policy. This is apparently a 
permanent change as several persons attending other 
events have been returned for the same reason. 


Event Description: Circus. Consisted of a reproduction 
of the Barnum and Bailey Circus act performed in the 
United States in the early 20th century. Contained no 
anomalous phenomenon, although all performers in the 
show wore MC&D logos on their costumes. In addition, 
all animals appeared to have the letters 'MC&D' branded 
into their backs. 


Act(s): An animal show, acrobatics, and a clown- 
produced play. 


Length: 5 hours, 30 minutes. 


Notes: All concessions being sold at the event consisted 
of typical carnival fare, such as turkey legs and caramel 
apples. 


Event Description: Fight. A large, translucent creature 
appearing to be comprised of several hundred gelatinous 
cubes was placed in a cage containing a brown, 
trapezoid-shaped entity covered with pulsating spikes. 
The second entity also had a gold band wrapped around 
it. These two beings vibrated and bumped into each 
other, with the creature losing mass as cubes fell off of 
its body, and this eventually caused it to stop moving. 


Act(s): One cage match between 'Cubert' and defending 
champion 'The Incredible Thing’. When pressed about 
the naming, the group's translator claimed they had been 
instructed to make up names when no coherent one 
could be translated. 


Length: 14 hours, 20 minutes. 


Notes: N/A 


Event Description: Vehicle Rally. 45 different vehicles, 
including two hovercraft, gas-powered vehicles, nuclear- 
powered vehicles, and helium-based vehicles were 
steered autonomously around a large, reflective track 
until most of them had been destroyed. Following this, 
the disparate parts of the vehicles were rebuilt into two 
large robotic entities resembling canines, which were 
then made to fight. 


Act(s): Crash rally followed by re-scrapping and re- 
cycling for battle purposes. 


Length: 8 hours, 45 minutes. 


Notes: Between the acts, there was a brief segment 
honoring one audience members's participation in the 


‘Battle for freedoms against those who sit' and 
encouraging audience members to enlist in their 
respective race's armed forces. 


Addendum 2088-B: On 12/23/2016, a memorandum was sent from 
persons representing the Marshall, Carter and Dark organization to 
a branch of S&C Plastics in London. The text of the memorandum 
has been included in this document. 


MEMORANDUM 


TO: S&C Plastics Atlantic headquarters. 
FROM: MARSHALL, CARTER and DARK Ltd. 


RE: Let's start over on this one. 


Greetings to the misters and misses of the Overwatch 
Council, 


We at MC&D can't help but to have noticed that your 
organization seems very keen on regularly attending 
sessions provided by our event services. We're 
concerned by your need to be secretive about this. 
You're not exactly doing the best job at being 
inconspicuous, you know, and we do appreciate your 
business. Send a representative of your organization to 
the pre-agreed location, and we're confident that a 
mutually beneficial deal can be worked out. 


Regards, 


Greg Chamberlain, European Director of MC&D Event 
Services 


A Foundation response is pending.

Item #: SCP-2089 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The domains containing 
SCP-2089 are to be blocked from all public service providers. Any 
original or re-posted content related to SCP-2089-1 (including 
videos, images, gifs, comments and fan-derived works) are to be 
taken down by Foundation Agents. Personnel actively viewing 
SCP-2089-1 related content are to be rotated on a bi-weekly basis. 


Information pertaining to the location of SCP-2089-1 is to be 
reported to the project lead. Current research has proven 
inconclusive. 


Description: SCP-2089 refers to a blog located on the site 


www. .com. The blog features images, videos and other 
related content centered around the user named 
"John _ _ls_Here" (referred to as SCP-2089-1). SCP-2089-1

skeleton. Audio samples taken from videos of SCP-2089-1 have 
proven inconclusive in supporting this claim. 


SCP-2089-1 and its blog feature a Q&A style format, in which users 
ask questions and SCP-2089-1 provides appropriate responses 
through comments. SCP-2089-1 is noted to immediately answer 
most questions asked, regardless of the time of day. 


Videos posted by SCP-2089-1 feature the entity inside a dark room. 
The topic of these videos discuss questions SCP-2089-1 failed to 
respond to, references to other blogs, and subjects pertaining to 
SCP-2089's followers. In 48% of recorded videos, SCP-2089-1 will 
attempt to commit suicide, with only 11% of those attempts being 
successful. Following videos indicate no physical harm inflicted onto 
SCP-2089-1.

Interview Log: 


The following is an interview of a subject (referred to as D-90327) 
conducted by Junior Researcher Roger . The subject was 
exposed to SCP-2089-1 related content for two weeks. Note that the 
subject has expressed disliking towards explicit content prior to 
exposure. 


+ Interview 
<Begin Log> 


Researcher: Hello, D-90327. | will be 
interviewing you today. 


D-90327: Ok. 


Researcher: How do you feel about 
SCP-2089-1? 


D-90327: [shrugs] Don't like him. 


Researcher: What is it that you particularly 
don't like about him? 


D-90327: | told you. | don't like him. 


Researcher: Ok, fine. Why do you think others 
might dislike SCP-2089-1 ? 


D-90327: For shits and giggles, mainly. 


Researcher: What would you say is the 
motive behind this hatred? 


D-90327: [chuckles] For fun. It's more like a... 
well, | guess like a high, right? 


Head Researcher: Interesting. Why do you 
think... 


D-90327 takes out a piece of paper from the 
back of his pocket. Words are written on the 
paper. Half of it is written is ink, while the rest 
appears to be written in blood. 


D-90327: Hold that thought, doc. Check out 
what | made. 


D-90327 hands over the paper. Upon closer 
inspection, it is a poem titled "Fuck John". 


Researcher: Huh. [holds the paper up to the 
light] Did you write this in blood? 


D-90327: Oh, yeah. | didn't have a pen, so | 
just picked at this scab on my arm. [rolls up 
sleeve] Can you believe it's been there for 
three weeks? Anyways, considering how many 
times | picked at this thing, it probably took me 
three days to make that. | think | can even post 
it online. What do you think? 


D-90327 glares at the researcher. A smile 
slowly spreads across his face. 


Researcher: Uhh ... I'll think about it. 


<End Log> 


Conclusion: The paper was confiscated from 
D-90327 after the interview. Approval to test if 
the paper exhibits the same effects of other 
SCP-2089-1 related content is currently 
pending.

Date Posted: 08/04/20 

Description: An image of an instance of SCP-2089-2. The person is 
standing in front of a mountainous landscape. A caption underneath

MrBRASIL: Are you ed? | sent you a pic 

Aryanne: Nope. Don't have it. 

MrBRASIL: I'll send the pic. 

MrBRASIL: | ... lost the pic. 


Recovery Log: On 09/26/20 , Foundation Agents used the address 
obtained from SCP-2089-I-1026 in an attempt to locate SCP-2089-1. 
Personnel arrived at Bitch Mountain, located in Chesterfield, New 
York. To date, SCP-2089-1 has not been found. 


Personnel recovered several items surrounding the area. Among 
these items included: 


¢ A hooded jacket similar to the one worn by SCP-2089-1 

« Knives, needles and other sharp objects coated in blood. DNA 
analysis proves that it is from a Caucasian male, estimated to 
be 18-20 years old. 

¢ An unfinished painting of a male figure. Inscribed in blood are 
the words "Never die". DNA analysis confirms that it does not 
match with the blood found on other objects. 


Note from Agent Thompson: To this day, it still baffles me that we 
were given a concrete address. Our GPS satellites confirmed that 
the address is in fact, a two story house like the user "MrBRASIL" 
stated. As we drove there the surroundings began to shift from an 
interstate highway to a dirt road lined with trees. No one even 
noticed it. When we arrived at Bitch Mountain, it was disheartening. 


We received news that the Foundation sent a Mobile Task Force to 
the same address. A small team was dispatched on a helicopter. 
However, the same thing happened to them. An Agent reported 
seeing the landscape change from dense woods to rocky mountains 
right before her very eyes. To this day, we don't know why this 
occurs. 


We may be dealing with a fad. But it is clear that whoever is behind 
it doesn't want anyone to interfere. 


Addendum 2089-03: The following is an excerpt of a recorded 
video posted by an instance of SCP-2089-2. 


+ Video excerpt 


SCP-2089-1 is seen facing the camera inside a dimly lit 
room. SCP-2089-1 then diverts its attention away from 
the screen. Note that SCP-2089-1 is wearing a mask in 
place of its traditional hooded jacket. An unidentified 
male voice speaks: 


You know what to do? 
SCP-2089 -1 nods. It faces the camera again. 


Hey everyone. It's John here. By popular 
request, | will be performing a bit of ... fan 
service, if you will. [pause] Do | have to? 


Yes. 
Alright, give me. 


SCP-2089-1 receives a piece of wire tied into the shape 
of a noose. SCP-2089-1 then walks towards the ceiling 
fan located the center of the room. A chair is below the 
fan, allowing SCP-2089-1 to climb up and attach the 
noose to the fan. SCP-2089-1 then places its head inside 
the noose. SCP-2089-1 kicks the chair beneath it, 
allowing itself to hang. 


SCP-2089-1 is heard gagging and gasping for several 
seconds. The fan holding the noose breaks, and 
SCP-2089-1 falls to the floor with the fan on top of it. A 
male figure is seen approaching SCP-2089-1. 


Yep. That'll do. 


The figure tosses the fan to the side to look at 


SCP-2089-1. Closer observation indicates several cuts 
on the neck of SCP-2089-1, presumably from the wire. 
SCP-2089-1 continues to gag, coughing up blood as it 
speaks. 


Wada: 


The unidentified male turns SCP-2089-1's head over, 
revealing a fracture in its skull. 


Wow. A clean break. I'm saving this. 


The figure pulls out a mobile device and takes a picture 
of SCP-2089-1. 


[cough] Are you pleased? 
Yes. Very. 
Then I'm [cough] p-p-pleased. 


The figure picks up SCP-2089-1 and places it into a 
chair. The figure then pushes the chair towards the 
camera so that the viewer can get a closer image of 
SCP-2089-1. 


This is John. Say hi, John. 
Hi. [cough] 


SCP-2089-1 coughs up blood. A splatter stains the upper 
left corner of the screen. 


John is an entertainer. You followers expect 
torture, rape, castration, suicide. And John 
gives you exactly that. Isn't that right, John? 


SCP-2089-1 nods. The figure spins the chair around to 
reveal the back of SCP-2089-1's head. The camera 
zooms in on SCP-2089-1's skull fracture. 


We keep John alive. Because he is an 


originally planned for the television series was scrapped due to 
budget concerns. Novels published after the radio program was 
introduced acknowledged the existence of robots, but stated that the 
building of sapient robots had been restricted by the "Robotics 
Laws" instituted by the Space Congress, and none are ever directly 
introduced to the reader.

entertainer. The closer to the brink of death, 
the better. But we keep him alive. [pause] 
Now, don't get me wrong. We laugh, joke, 
have fun. But a dead entertainer is not an 
entertainer at all. Allow me to demonstrate. 


The camera lens zooms out. Shuffling is heard in the 
background for about a minute. SCP-2089-1's head is 
struck with a blunt object, furthering opening up its 
wound. SCP-2089-1's brain is exposed. Blood is seen 
pouring out of the wound. 


Exciting, isn't it? Don't worry, he's very much 
alive. Just give him time. 


The figure pushes SCP-2089-1's body off the chair and 
proceeds to sit on it. The figure glances at the body lying 
on the floor. 


Thank you, John. I'm honestly sorry for you 
having to deal with that amateur. | promise you 
won't get hurt again. 


The figure faces the camera. The camera zooms in so 
that the figure's face occupies the screen. 


And in case you haven't realized it, this is 
directed towards you, MrBRASIL. Bitch 
Mountain is where he stays. He belongs to me. 


| told you so, didn't |? 
The following is a comment in response to the video:

demented people? You're telling me you ENJOY seeing 
an innocent person get brutally murdered?

SCP-2090: Potentially XK Tim Duncan 


Item #: SCP-2090 
Object Class: Euclid Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: Foundation personnel standing 
in as personal security staff are to closely monitor SCP-2090 ona 
day-to-day basis for any sign of anomalous deviation. Kant Counters 
are to be discreetly installed in and around the home of SCP-2090 to 
provide constant surveillance of SCP-2090 and any disturbances 
caused by its anomalous nature. Any discrepancies are to be 
reported to Level 2090/4 staff personnel assigned to SCP-2090, or 
to the MTF P-5 team leader. 


Under no circumstances should Foundation Protocol Ollamaliztli-5 
be interrupted. Due to the current state of Protocol Ollamaliztli-5 and 
its influence on American and global culture, interruptions are not 
expected. 


FILESERV NOTICE: THE FOLLOWING IS THE SCP-2090 DATA 
FILE AS IT APPEARED BEFORE ITS RECLASSIFICATION AS 
NEUTRALIZED. SOME ERRORS MAY PERSIST. 


Description: SCP-2090 is a Class | humanoid entity that goes by 
the name of Tim Duncan, and is currently the starting power 
forward/center for the San Antonio Spurs professional basketball 
team. SCP-2090 exhibits no visibly noticeable anomalous 
properties, and its nature is only detectable by use of Kant Reality 
Counters used to identify disturbances in local reality. SCP-2090 
displays a remarkably high Hume discrepancy, although this effect is 
seemingly limited to its body and has no effect on the world around 
it. Despite this, due to information gathered via Protocol 
Ollamaliztli-5, SCP-2090 must be constantly monitored for any sign 
of changes in behaviour or anomalous activity. 


Discovery: SCP-2090 was initially discovered during routine 


inspection of Area of Interest CA-74 "Sleep Train Arena” in 
Sacramento, California, during a game between the San Antonio 
Spurs and the Sacramento Kings. What was initially thought to be 
an equipment malfunction was later discovered to be caused by 
massive interference created by SCP-2090. Due to the high level of 
celebrity that SCP-2090 has obtained, it was considered unfeasible 
to remove the subject from the public and place it within containment 
for further observation. This resulted in the creation of Mobile Task 
Force Rho-5 "Spurs and Saddles", which constantly monitors 
SCP-2090 and ensures proper application of Protocol Ollamaliztli-5. 


Addendum 2090.1: Protocol Ollamaliztli-5 [Information Restricted to 
Level 2090/4 and MTF P-5 Personnel Only] 


During initial observation of SCP-2090, Foundation IT personnel 
began to discover a number of encrypted files within the Foundation 
database. Foundation Internal Intelligence teams were set with 
gaining access to these files, and discovering their origin. With help 
from the SCP-2090 research team and MTF P-5, the code-breaking 
effort was a success. Notably, all files were dated at various points 
within two years after the date of discovery, although additional 
information suggests that they had existed within the Foundation 
database for an extensive period of time. While many of the files 
were incomplete and missing data, enough was recovered to 
properly deduce and implement Protocol! Ollamaliztli-5.

running and there's a chance we can stop this thing. Not 
now, but maybe us sometime else. 


According to the results, it's a pretty elaborate setup that 
requires a ton of preparation. In every timeline the basis 
for the protocol is there, but it's never thoroughly 
supported and dies out pretty quickly. In esse[DATA 
CORRUPTED)Jn't do anything about those, hang on. 


FOUNDATION GENERAL ALERT 


ALERT LEVEL 5 


Shit, ok. I'll send it along. | can't believe it's so simple, but 
the simulations checked themselves and this is it. A 
series of ritualistic events that keep him in check as he 
matures, the designs are all in there. Just put it together 
like | have detailed, and that should do the trick. Make 
sure the events go on unhindered, do whatever you have 
to do to make sure of that. 


The last thing I'm including is the design for the ritual 
arena. Construct it like it's explained, and then make 
sure he participates in the ritual. | don't care if you have 
to turn a hurricane on him, do it. 


This is it. Good luck.

Addendum 2090.2: Cessation of Abnormal Hume Activity 


On July 11th, 2016, SCP-2090 announced its retirement from the 
National Basketball Association after 19 seasons with the San 
Antonio Spurs. While containment personnel were on hand during 
the announcement of the subject's retirement in the event of a 
prospective breach of containment, no such anomalous activity took 
place. Hume readings of the subject shortly thereafter showed that 
the individual known as Tim Duncan no longer expressed abnormal 
Hume levels, and as such should no longer be considered 
anomalous. After a period of sustained observation with no notable 
activity in that time, SCP-2090 was reclassified as NEUTRALIZED. 


However, since Tim Duncan's retirement and subsequent 
reclassification, several other professional basketball players have 
also expressed unusual Kant Counter readings, similar to those 
previously expressed by SCP-2090. Until more information can be 
collected, the following individuals are to be considered Persons of 
Interest: 


¢ POI #57284 - Karl-Anthony Towns - Concern: Low 

* POI #57285 - Joel Embiid - Concern: Low 

¢ POI #57286 - Giannis Antetokuonmpo - Concern: Moderate 
POI #57287 - Anthony Davis - Concern: High 

¢ POI #57288 - Victor Oladipo - Concern: Very High 


Further investigation is ongoing.

SCP-2091: A Bear and His Granddaughter 


Item #: SCP-2091 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2091-1 and SCP-2091-2 
are to be housed in Site-282. SCP-2091-1 is to be kept in a standard 
Animal Containment Unit. SCP-2091-2 is to be kept in a Type S 
Humanoid Anomaly Containment Cell. Requests submitted from 
SCP-2091-2 for various entertainment are to be approved ona 
case-by-case basis as behavior permits. 


Once every two weeks for 90 minutes, SCP-2091-1 and 
SCP-2091-2 are allowed to interact with each other in SCP-2091-1's 
containment unit under supervision from a Level 2 researcher and a 
security guard. 


Description: SCP-2091-1 is a sculpture of an Ursus arctos terriblis 
(grizzly bear), 1.2m tall at the shoulder and 2.1m in length. It is 
made out of polymer clay, with documentation recovered at its 
discovery point dating its creation to 1994. Ultrasound testing has 
shown cavities within SCP-2091 corresponding with the locations of 
organs found within grizzly bears despite no biological tissues being 
detected, with no mechanisms to give it the ability to move. Various 
parts of its body have been replaced with patches of grass, and two 
toes replaced with materials from a watch. SCP-2091-1 is unable to 
move itself or perform any actions unless within 15m of 
SCP-2091-2. 


SCP-2091-2 is a human female by the name of Abigael Harlowe, 20 
years of age. Background checks and interviews during its time at 
the Foundation revealed no apparent history of anomalous abilities 
prior to SCP-2091-1 gaining its anomalous traits in 1998. 


When SCP-2091-1 is within 15m of SCP-2091-2, SCP-2091-1 
displays locomotion and behavioral traits commonly associated with 


SCP-233: 23-Sided Polyhedron 


Item #: SCP-233 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-233 is to be kept within a 
cubical vanadium-lined container, dimensions 23 by 23 by 23. The 
unit of measure is irrelevant. A 23-meter safe zone is to be 
established around the object: no Class D personnel older or 
younger than 23 years of age are to be allowed within the safe zone. 
For optimal results, Class D personnel with birthdays falling on the 
23rd of the month should be used. No firearms other than those 
chambered for special-purpose .2323 caliber rounds are to be 
allowed within the containment chamber. Shift changes will occur at 
23 minutes past the hour, with the final shift change occurring at 
2323 Greenwich Mean Time exactly. 


Under no circumstances are [REDACTED]mm ammunition, Class D 
personnel born in the month of [REDACTED] or on the 
[REDACTED], [REDACTED], or twenty-[REDACTED] of the month, 
or any [REDACTED}]-sided object to be brought within the 23-meter 
safe zone. Personnel are cautioned to take special care at 
[REDACTED] minutes past the hour, especially [REDACTED] hours, 
as this is the time period during which the object is most active. For 
best results, the 23-meter safe zone should be cleared of all 
personnel during that time period. 


Description: SCP-233 is a 23-sided polyhedron, each face being 
made up of both an equilateral triangle and a straight line 
simultaneously. Because of the space-time altering nature of the 
object, the exact physical makeup of the object cannot be emulated 
in three-dimensional or two-dimensional form. 


SCP-233 has the unusual property of altering the laws of 
mathematics in its vicinity, causing rounding errors to occur unless 
calculated using a base-23 system. Mathematical calculations 


grizzly bears. It will attempt to stay close to SCP-2091-2 whenever 
possible, and attack organisms it perceives to be threatening or 
harmful to SCP-2091-2. SCP-2091-2 has claimed to be able to 
understand SCP-2091-1, saying it is its grandfather. Whenever 
within the area of effect, SCP-2091-2 has been observed talking to 
SCP-2091-1 and conversing with it, although SCP-2091-1 has never 
been observed talking. 


During its active state, SCP-2091-1 has the ability to repair any 
damage to its body by swallowing a variety of materials, having a 
preference for clay when given a choice." 


Addendum 2091-A: A search of the house at Woodbine, Georgia 
where SCP-2091-1 and -2 were discovered revealed journals, notes, 
and photographs belonging to who is presumed to be SCP-2091-2's 
grandfather, David Lennox, as well as an art studio belonging to 
him. Obituaries dated to February 13, 1998 confirm his death, 
though no body has been found. Court documentation shows that 
Pol-962, Jonathon Harman, is the legal guardian of SCP-2091-2, 
though no other documentation relating to Mr. Harman has been 
found. 


The majority of the files recovered at SCP-2091-2's house were 
deteriorated or unreadable due to poor management, though what 
has been recoverable is in Foundation archives.2 


Addendum 2091-C: The following is a transcript of one of the few 
recoverable pages taken from the journals of SCP-2091-2's house 
relevant to this entry. 


+ Journal Entry 1/5/98 


—no reason to be cruel to your followers, and 
is leaving behind a granddaughter to inherit 
nothing but her clothing anything but cruel? 
With no family to speak of except for me, she'll 
have no one to turn to. And may you damn me 
to Hell if | leave sweet Abbie to the destiny of 
adoption, one which is unforgiving and cold as 
| have learned. You have seen me through 
those tough times, and | have no doubt that 


you would also help her through those tough 
times, but isn't the work of the Lord to lessen 
the suffering of His children? 


[Scribble marks] 


A couple weeks prior, | had gone to a 
conference to meet with long-time friends in 
Cross City, for what | had then wagered to be 
my last time there. My physician had cleared 
me to go, and so long as | had Abbie 
supervised by my friends in case of medical 
emergencies, | would be free to go with her 
there to worship. Unfortunately, | could not 
spend long, as most of my time was spent in 
the bathroom, sick and sobbing. | would not 
doubt that Abbie was smart enough to catch 
onto what had happened. 


Jonathon had, by the intermision/sic] of the 
service, approached me as Abbie and | were 
ready to head to a nearby store for groceries. 
He sat down with me as | sent Abbie to play 
with Curtis and his daughter, Frances. He had 
wondered what my plans were should | die 
soon. | took offense to to this, as | would not 
leave Abbie in the hands of a system so cold 
and cruel to children, nor leave her on her 
own. Yet, | had been searching for months to 
find a suitable guardian for her. There were no 
other family or friends of my son lan, nor could 
| locate his wife (though | have forgiven her, | 
do not know if | could ever reconcile with what 
she has done, nor speak or write her name; it 
is better for Abbie to never know). What other 
plans could | have then? 


He told that he knew of a way that could work. 
One of the services he had been to over in 
Franklin County with a group he had referred 
to as "the Hand" had taught him what is 


supposedly magic to work "in accordance to 
the Lord's ways". | had considered it 
blasphemous and was ready to leave, when 
he had handed me printouts of what was 
needed to be done. | read incredulously, each 
word making me more fearful. ‘Could | really 
continue to watch over Abbie?' The words 
must have left my mouth as well, because he 
chuckled and nodded. There would, of course, 
be the issue of my sudden disappearance. He 
had agreed to work out that issue as well, as 
he would claim to be Abbie's guardian, but 
leave me be. 


Could | be forgiven for casting him with a 
suspicious eye? Despite having known him for 
forty years, since the two of us had grown up 
together as children, he was never particularly 
religious (though he informed me a few years 
ago he had found God again). Plus, he would 
be the final legal link Abbie has to my family. 
He had encouraged me to research, and to 
phone him my answer when | was sure. 


| thought about his words on the drive home. 
Whenever | was not tending to Abbie, at the 
hospital, tending to my art, or sleeping, | would 
be constantly reading the Bible, praying, 
searching for an answer. | had never given up 
looking for the best option for her, and it is only 
until last night that | decided. This, then, would 
be the best action to take. Abigael, | hope you 
understand. 


| will not guard her any longer than | have to, 
and | will not cheat you, God by staying with 

my spirit on Earth eternally; when her time in 
her body is gone, | shall join her to go to you, 
and if— 


Transcript of Interview Log 2091-A: 
Interviewed: SCP-2091-2 
Interviewer: Researcher Chang 


Foreword: Following initial containment and relocation 
to Site-282, SCP-2091-2 had refused to talk or allow 
permission for interviews. After deliberation among the 
team assigned to SCP-2091-1 and SCP-2091-2, it was 
decided to allow both to interact with each other (with 
strict security measures) to allow cooperation. After a 15- 
minute period to allow the two to interact with each other, 
the interview commenced. 


<Begin Log, 18:30> 
Researcher Chang: How are you feeling, Ms. Harlowe? 


SCP-2091-2: A bit better... all those guards look scary 
though. 


Researcher Chang: | can't do anything about that. I'm 
sorry. We always take careful measures just in case. 
Can you state how old you are for the interview? 


SCP-2091-2: Sure. 16 years old. 


Researcher Chang: Thank you. Now... do you wanna 
talk about what happened a couple days ago with that 
burglar? 


SCP-2091-2: I'm sorry... he wouldn't mean to hurt 
anyone that badly. 


Researcher Chang: He almost killed that man though. 


SCP-2091-2: | had to tell him to stop. | was scared at 
first because | thought the guy would hurt me, and then 
when | was crying out he, well... 


SCP-2091-2 stops at this point to collect herself and take 


deep breaths. 


Researcher Chang: Do you want to continue this later? 
We can set up another interview for a different time. 


SCP-2091-2: N... No, it's okay. He just wanted to protect 
me, is all. | told him to stop and eventually he did... is the 
guy okay? 


Researcher Chang: He'll survive. You're concerned for 
the person who tried to break into your home and rob 
you? 


SCP-2091-2: What if he needed money or food? He 
could have asked but maybe he did it for a good reason. 


Researcher Chang: Well... let's move onto another 
topic. What is the relationship between you and your 
bear? 


SCP-2091-2: He's my granddad. 
Researcher Chang: Your grandfather? 


SCP-2091-2: Yeah. | think | remember that he used to 
be a person, and now he's a bear. 


Researcher Chang: Do you know why? 


SCP-2091-2: | remember one night before | went to bed, 
he told me that he'd leave but come back differently. He 
told me he'd be a bear, so that | shouldn't be surprised 
when | see a bear walking around. 


Researcher Chang: How long ago was that? Why did 
you believe him? 


SCP-2091-2: Um... 10 years ago. | was six. Why 
wouldn't | believe him? He was a bear the next day. | 
saw him moving around! 


Researcher Chang: How did you manage to take care 


of yourself? It doesn't look easy for bears to cook, at 
least. 


SCP-2091-2: He found books for me to read whenever | 
wasn't at school. He had taught me some things before 
he became a bear, | remember that. He taught me how 
to make sandwiches and how to cook dinner from a box 
in a microwave. We had a lot of those. | learned how to 
do it after a short time, and | can cook and feed myself. 


Researcher Chang: Do you need to cook for your 
grandfather? 


SCP-2091-2: No. He doesn't need to eat. But sometimes 
when we play or when he protects me he accidentally 
breaks a part of his body. Once he figured out how to fix 
himself by eating stuff, | got a bunch of clay for him. 


Researcher Chang: How did you get money and food? 


SCP-2091-2: Someone paid our bills every month, and 
would send stuff to our house. The label always said 
"Harman". 


Researcher Chang: Do you know who that is? 


SCP-2091-2: No... but my granddad always told me to 
take them. He knew who he was. 


Researcher Chang: How does he talk with you? 


SCP-2091-2: He just speaks to my mind and | talk back 
with my mouth! Isn't that cool? 


Researcher Chang: Can he, er, talk to anyone else with 
his mind? 


SCP-2091-2: He told me before that he tried. No one 
understands him... sorry. 


Researcher Chang: That's alright. Does he know where 
Mr. Harman is now? 


SCP-2091-2: Hmm... do you know, granddad? 


SCP-2091-1 makes grunting noises while turning to look 
at SCP-2091-2. 


SCP-2091-2: He doesn't know anymore. He used to be 
with him in church a lot though, but hasn't talked with him 
after becoming a bear. 


Researcher Chang: | see. 


SCP-2091-2: Is the conversation over? I'm getting 
nervous and want to go back to talking with granddad. 


Researcher Chang: We can stop for today. Before we 
do, is there anything he wants to add to the 
conversation? 


SCP-2091-1 doesn't make any additional noise, instead 
lying down on the floor and looking between Researcher 
Chang and the security guards. 


SCP-2091-2: He says he's afraid you'll try and hurt me. 
<End Log, 18:51> 


Closing Statement: Researcher Chang continued with 
superfluous and irrelevant questioning in order to ease 
SCP-2091-1 and SCP-2091-2's anxieties and discomfort 
to make containment easier. At the end of the interview, 
SCP-2091-1 and SCP-2091-2 were allowed to spend 
another 20 minutes with each other before SCP-2091-2 
was guided back to her cell and the session formally 
ended.

SCP-2092: Space Riddle 


Item #: SCP-2092 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to the distant location and 
inert nature of SCP-2092, suppression of information and 
continuous observation is considered sufficient for its containment. 


Undercover Agents employed by the major space agencies must 
ensure that non-Foundation space probes leaving the proximity of 
Earth are incapable of receiving electromagnetic signals on the 
frequency range 3.25-3.30 GHz. They are also responsible for 
expunging the transcripts of SCP-2092-1 from documents related to 
previous space missions. 


Probe-2092-A must observe SCP-2092 at all times. Its encrypted 
video feed must be transmitted to Site-15 via Probe-2092-B. Access 
to the video feed is restricted to personnel holding Security 
Clearance Level 4 or higher. If contact is lost with either of the 
probes, or a failure is expected in 3 years, replacements must be 
sent. 


Description: SCP-2092-1 is a repetitive electromagnetic signal with 
a frequency of 3.274 GHz. It was received by multiple interplanetary 
probes,! but it was never recorded on Earth or by satellites in Earth 
orbit. The designation SCP-2092 is used for the (currently 
uncontained) source of origin of the signal. 


SCP-2092-1 appears to be a message encoded in binary with 5329 
bits of length. Dr. noticed that arranging the bits of the 
message into a table with 73 rows and 73 columns results in an 
image apparently intended to convey meaning. 


The image features six objects. It is hypothesized that image is 
schematic model of the Solar System, the largest object 


representing the Sun, and four other objects representing the 
terrestrial planets. The leftmost object does not correspond to any 
known astronomical object. 


Foundation Researchers have hypothesized that the leftmost object 
is intended to be a representation of SCP-2092. SCP-2092 is 
theorized to be an asteroid in an orbit directly opposite to that of the 
Earth and orbiting at the same velocity as the Earth. The fact that 
SCP-2092-1 was never received by any device in the proximity of 
Earth seems to support this hypothesis, since the Sun would block 
all electromagnetic signals from such a source. 


A space mission to investigate the assumed location of SCP-2092 is 
currently prepared. 


Addendum: Probe-2092-A was launched on an intercept course 
with SCP-2092 on 12/11/1998. Shortly thereafter, Probe-2092-B 
was launched on 01/03/1999. Probe-2092-B is intended to act as a 
communications relay station to send signals back to Earth from 
Probe-2092-A. Both devices were disguised as NASA Mars probes. 
Cover stories about the failure of these missions were issued to the 
public. 


On / /2000, Probe-2092-A reached the presumed coordinates of 
SCP-2092. Photographs sent back from the probe reveal a roughly 
rectangular, metallic object approximately 7m x 8m x 10 min size. 
The surface of the object is covered in ten square screens 
displaying the same message in the following languages: Arabic, 
Chinese, , English, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Russian 
and Spanish.2 


The English version of the message displayed by SCP-2092 
(recorded on / /2000): 


Welcome, people of Earth! 


Congratulations on finding me. | am the Ambassador 
appointed to your planet. My duty is to wait here until you 
are advanced enough to leave your home and face me. 
As a final test of your merits, you will be given a single 
question entrusted to me eons ago. Answer correctly, 


and the prize will be knowledge far beyond your 
imagination. 


But be warned! Might you fail to give the true answer, 
otherworldly curses shall fall upon your beloved planet, 
bringing forth creatures straight from your worst 
nightmares for no less than ten millennia! Your race gets 
a new chance to solve the riddle only after that period of 
horrors. 


Now read the question that will determine your fate, and 
show me the worth of your people!

texts. The meaning of the message was not altered, but the 

phrasing became more modern. It suggests that SCP-2092 is

carried out in base 23, however, have the benefit of being carried 
out at 23 times the normal speed: for this reason, destruction of the 
item has been postponed pending possible integration into [DATA 
EXPUNGED)]. The difficulty of converting binary information into 
base-23 mathematics aside, the device has already shown its value 
to the Organization (see report 234[REDACTED] by Dr. Nana 
[REDACTED] regarding her "unusual solution" to the Unified Field 
Theory.) 


Unfortunately, SCP-233 appears to have a particularly violent effect 
upon occurrences of the number [REDACTED] occurring within its 
safe zone (see report re: death of Dr. Nana [REDACTED] on [DATE 
REDACTED].) Chemical breakdown of the affected object proceeds 
at a rapid rate: direct contact results in immediate destruction of the 
object in question by breakdown into component atoms within .23 
seconds. 


One note: SCP-233 appears to be triggered not by the actual 
physical properties of the object in question in any empirical sense, 
but by the perceptions of nearby observers. For instance, it is safe to 
handle SCP-233 using a 2.74 m long pole, so long as no observers 
within the danger zone perceive said pole as being [REDACTED] 
feet in length. The reason for this is unknown, but the Observer 
Effect recorded in classical quantum physics may be involved (see 
report 77-Heisenberg). 


Addendum 233-a: Upon the recommendation of Dr. A. Clef, the 
research committee has petitioned to redesignate this object as 
SCP-2323. Although this would place the item outside the standard 
numbering scheme, SCP-233's mathematical nature requires that 
utmost precautions be taken regarding all numbering schemes 
involving data related with the project. This was dramatically 
illustrated during Incident [REDACTED] during which the object's 
accidental contact with a [REDACTED]-volt battery used to power a 
personal music device caused an approximately [REDACTED]- 
thousand percent increase in the object's range of effect to 232.32 
kilometers, resulting in deaths of the entire home team at a nearby 
AAA league baseball game (said game being at the top of the 
[REDACTED] inning at the time), and the destruction of all computer 
files containing information on SCP-233's interaction with the 


SCP-2093: Open Alpha 


Item #: SCP-2093 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The school building containing 
SCP-2093 is to be locked down when not being tested. As the 
building has been condemned and no longer serves any public 
function, any unauthorized individual found roaming the halls is to be 
detained and interrogated. As of //2013, SCP-2093 has expanded 
in size approximately 8 square meters, encompassing the entirety of 
the drama room. The exact limits can be determined by use of 
thermal imaging, as the space within SCP-2093 has a significantly 
lower level of heat and humidity. 


Description: SCP-2093 is a spatial anomaly localized in the third 
floor drama room of High School and located in ' 
Maryland. Upon entering SCP-2093, personnel inside enter the 
spatial anomaly, and are able to exit the room while remaining within 
SCP-2093, allowing for exploration of a recreation of the school 
building. The recreation conforms with the size and structure of the 
actual school and is populated by an array of entities appearing as 
students, ranging in age from elementary students to high school 
students. 


Continued exploration has revealed the limits of the anomaly extend 
in all directions, with nothing beyond school property save endless 
grassland. Communication with entities within SCP-2093 has not 
determined whether the entities are sentient, but they have shown 
themselves able to retain information given to them. Some entities 
appear to engage in conversation but are incapable of vocalization. 


Individuals outside of SCP-2093 may open the door, allowing for 
those inside the anomaly to return unharmed. It is unknown why 
personnel within the anomaly are unable to escape on their own, or 
if entities within SCP-2093 are bound by the same restriction. 


Addendum: An expedition on //20 encountered a small group of 
unknown creatures within SCP-2093, roughly resembling bipedal 
ursines, with a layer of matte gray chitin covering their torsos. Facial 
features are nonexistent save for two ellipsoid openings of equal 
size, one atop the other. Entities within the anomaly displayed no 
reaction to the creatures. 


Note: Expedition logs 015 - 018 are made publicly available to all 
researchers level 2 and above assigned to SCP-2093, as per 
containment procedures. 


Expedition-015 


Expedition-015: Agents West and Pierce are 
assigned to enter the anomaly and make 
contact with the entities within in an attempt to 
obtain as much information as possible 
regarding the anomaly and possibly make 
contact with the anomalous entities. 


Upon entering, Agent West notes the smell of 
burning plastic. The agents exit the room and 
descend to the second floor. Entities dressed 
in school uniforms walk the halls, ignoring the 
agents. The agents hail a small boy of African- 
American descent, with bright green eyes. 


Agent Pierce: Excuse me, son, can you help 
us? We're looking for Ms. 


Entity: I'm at High School in 
[REDACTED]. Hello! My name is Johnny. 


Agent Pierce: You sure you go to this school? 
You look kind of young. 


Entity: I'm at High School in 
[REDACTED]. I'm smart. 


Agent West: Do you know Ms. ? She's a 
math teacher, teaches inroom __, should be 


around here? 
Entity: | am smart. 


No further useful information was gleaned from 
contact with the entities. Agents made their 
way through the halls of the second floor, 
discovering all doors and lockers to be open. 
The layout of each room follow a set of four 
distinct arrangements all apparently adjusted 
for an east-facing entry and west-facing 
windows. Other rooms are not corrected for 
directional discrepancy and have windows 
impeded by walls and an additional door on 
the west wall of each room. Agent West 
remarks the smell of burning plastic emanates 
from these rooms in particular. 


The agents make their way to the ground floor 
of the school, and make contact with a small 
group of five ursine creatures. After a brief 
stand-off, a system of rudimentary 
communication via hand gestures and 
pantomime is successfully established. 


Lack of familiarity with the entities or the 
location indicates the ursine creatures are not 
responsible for, or in any way in control of the 
anomaly. The creatures indicate they were 
exploring an apparently abandoned structure 
when they discovered a trap door leading into 
the anomaly. 


The ursine creatures were able to retrace their 
steps to show Agents West and Pierce the 
door they had entered through, which 
appeared to lead up to the drama room on the 
third floor, to a trap door on stage. The 
creatures became distressed as they entered 
the drama room, apparently unaware that 
returning to their home base required outside 


assistance. 


Note: If the ursines are unable to return where 
they came from, consideration should be made 
for taking them in and classifying them with 
SCP status. - Dr. Marlowe 


Expedition-016 


Expedition-016: Dr. Jaime Marlowe 
accompanies Agents West and Pierce, along 
with , a linguistics expert, to attempt 
conversation with the ursine creatures. The 
ursines were found in the teachers’ lounge, 
having consumed all available food and using 
a microwave to heat an unknown foodstuff. 


The creatures show an adept knowledge of 
mathematics and astronomy and are able to 
graphically reproduce images on paper with 
great accuracy. When asked to draw their 
planet of origin, the shape and arrangement of 
continents were recognized as corresponding 
to that of Earth approximately 50-70 million 
years ago. The creatures appeared confused 
and agitated when Dr. Marlowe indicated Earth 
as home. The ursines understood the context 
of the phrase "home world" and insisted upon 
using it to describe Earth. 


The ursines creatures were quick to 
understand the entities were not sentient, and 
understood the concepts of artificial 
intelligence and computational neuroscience. 
The conversation abruptly ended as the 
creatures sought to explore the grasslands, 
and refused to continue further. 


Expedition-017 


Expedition-017: Agents West and Pierce, 


accompanied by 4 additional Foundation 
personnel, enter the anomaly again. The 
ursine creatures have cleared out the school's 
cafeteria of furnishings, and are consuming the 
food products in the kitchen to no apparent ill 
effect. The creatures claim they have rescue 
coming soon, but it is unclear if they 
understand the need for individuals outside of 
the anomaly to hold the door open. 


On the second floor, agents discovered the 
color of the doors had changed since first 
emerging, and began checking the class 
rooms once more. Unlike previous expeditions, 
the rooms were now properly arranged, with 
windows facing the outside regardless of room 
orientation. 


Inside one of the rooms a largely empty book 
was discovered on the teacher's desk, 
containing notes regarding changes and 
updates made to the school building and the 
entities within. The tone of these entries 
indicate the entities may be artificially 
programmed or else indirectly controlled by 
others, with the school itself a simulation of 
sorts. A recent entry indicates awareness of 
Foundation personnel within the simulation. 
Portions of this book are logged at the end of 
file. 


Expedition-018 


Expedition-018: Agents West and Pierce are 
now accompanied by armed security and enter 
the anomaly. The smell of burnt plastic is 
noted as being completely gone. No entities 
are found on the second floor, and all doors 
leading into classrooms are now locked. 


Entities are encountered on the ground floor 


keeping their distance from Foundation 
personnel. Several appear actively hostile, but 
otherwise flee when addressed. Any activity or 
movement performed by the entities prior to 
contact with personnel is ceased. The ursine 
creatures are nowhere to be found, and the 
cafeteria has been reconstituted. Entities 
within cease all activity and glare belligerently 
at Foundation personnel. 


The school building was searched for 4 hours, 
turning up no sign of the ursine creatures. As 
well, the landscape outside has now been 
barricaded off by barbed wire fences 3 meters 
in height, with no signs of an entryway. No 
further materials within SCP-2093 are 
recovered.

SCP-2094: Motormouth 


Item #: SCP-2094 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2094 is to be contained in 
a medium-security residential chamber in Bio Site-59. Standard PG- 
Class pre-approved luxuries and amenities may be granted ona 
supervised basis as an incentive to promote cooperation in 
interviews and experiments. 


Psychotropic treatment of SCP-2094's emotional instability is 
presently being overseen by Dr. Anniston (ES#59-390-258), and any 
requests to access or alter SCP-2094's current drug regimen must 
be submitted to her in triplicate for review. 


Description: SCP-2094 is a human male of European descent, 38 
years old as of 04/10/14. Several tattoos depicting common circus 
motifs are present on SCP-2094's upper body. SCP-2094 
communicates in American English, specifically the New York City 
English dialect. SCP-2094 possesses exceptional (non-anomalous) 
manual dexterity, with particular proficiency in juggling. 


SCP-2094 is the subject of a spacial anomaly originating within its 
oral cavity. SCP-2094's lower jaw and facial muscles can be pulled 
and stretched up to two (2) meters in any direction without causing 
any considerable pain or injury. Additionally, SCP-2094 is capable of 
redirecting any physical matter that enters its mouth into an 
extradimensional pocket lined with anomalously elastic intestinal 
tissue. 


There appears to be no limit to the amount of matter that SCP-2094 
can store inside this space. The weight of objects carried within the 
pocket has no affect on SCP-2094's overall weight, and neither 
causes SCP-2094 discomfort nor impairs its mobility. SCP-2094 
refers to this space as its "second stomach"; however, research 


indicates that it serves no actual biological function. 


SCP-2094 was recovered in an open field near Kamifurano, Japan, 
along with an assortment of non-anomalous artifacts related to 
Gol-233 (Herman Fuller's Circus of the Disquieting). SCP-2094 was 
discovered bound in chains and locked inside a large antique trunk 
bearing the words "FOR ESSIE" written on the top panel in red 


paint. 


Recovered belongings: 


The following is a list of items removed from SCP-2094's intestinal 
space after containment. 


Wooden juggling clubs of various colors 

Metal lighter and several packages of unflavored cigarettes 
120 button bass accordion 

Suitcase containing two sets of clean clothes, a toothbrush, 
and a shaving kit 

Fully functional 1962 Maserati 3500 coupé with minor interior 
and mechanical modifications 

Burlap sack containing a number of antique wind-up toys 
Operational submachine gun and accompanying ammunition, 
circa 1959 

Fire breathing torch 

Plastic trunk containing 45 bottles of Kerosene 


Selected Interview #1: 


Interviewer: Dr. O'Sullivan 
Interviewee: SCP-2094 


Notes: Interview conducted 02/24/06, the day after 
SCP-2094 entered containment. 


<Begin log> 


SCP-2094: (Upon Dr. O'Sullivan entering the interview 
chamber) Congratulations, sir! It appears you've 
snagged yourself a front row seat to the freak show! 
Lucky you! Room's a bit too clean for my taste, but hey— 


number [REDACTED]. For the safety of all personnel, future 
reference to the number [REDACTED] in conjunction with SCP-233 
is to be avoided at all costs. 


Addendum 233-b: Under no circumstances are pregnant female 
personnel to be allowed within the safe zone. 


« SCP-232 | SCP-233 | SCP-234 » 


it's the performer that makes the stage. At least that's 
what old Gourdi used to say. (Raps his knuckles on the 
interview chamber divider) Why, doctor! We haven't even 
introduced ourselves and you're already putting up walls 
between us! This does not bode well for our relationship. 


Dr. O'Sullivan: Good evening, SCP-2094. My name is 
Doctor O'Sullivan. I'll be— 


SCP-2094: (Feigning Irish accent) O'Sullivan, ye say? 
Faith and begorrah! Why, I'll be a shamrock's 
shantyman! I'm a wee bit Irish, too, on me mam's side! 


Dr. O'Sullivan: I'll be conducting the interview this 
afternoon. 


SCP-2094: (Normal voice) An interview, you say? Gee, 
I've never been interviewed before! Oh, this should be 
fun! Does this mean I'm famous? Is this the looney bin 
where all the superstars eventually end up? Hey, any 
chance you've got Andy Kaufman stashed away 
somewhere? 


Dr. O'Sullivan: | am not at liberty to discuss the nature 
of this facility. 


SCP-2094: Come on, now. It's obvious what this place 
is. You guys haven't been particularly subtle about it. The 
armed guards, the reinforced cells, the constant 
observation, the delicate, crystal barrier keeping me from 
caressing that gorgeous face of yours. (SCP-2094 gently 
runs the back of its hand down the reinforced glass 
interview barrier.) Where was |? Oh yeah. Any old dolt 
could figure out what kind of place this is. We're at 
Knott's Berry Farm, obviously! When are you guys finally 
going to face facts? You're never gonna be as good as 
Disneyland, not ever, no matter how many special 
snowflakes like me you try to recruit! 


Dr. O'Sullivan: You seem to be in a talkative mood. Why 
don't you tell me about the Circus of the Disquieting? 


SCP-2094: Oh, it's a grand place. Grand place. Lovely 
people. You should go sometime. Bring the family. Make 
a day of it. 


Dr. O'Sullivan: I'd very much like to see it in person. 
How would | go about finding it? 


SCP-2094: Doctor, doctor, doctor! You don't find the 
circus— the circus finds you! See, you'll trudge through 
life, trawling through the muck of your mundane 
existence, drowning in pencil shavings, and choking on 
the sterile fumes of your tidy little office, until one day 
you realize the stale taste of paper and politics in your 
soul has become so overwhelming that even the most 
stringent of fluoride can't scrub it away. Then, just when 
you've started to feel like there's nothing left on this 
crummy planet that can make life worth living, that's 
when you'll start to see the balloons, the lights, the 
clowns... all of it there to remind you that there's still 
some magic left in the world. Yes, | imagine that's how 
you would go about finding the circus, Monsieur Sullivan. 


Dr. O'Sullivan: Do you know an individual at the circus 
with an upside-down face? 


SCP-2094: Ah, so you know about Manny! Wait. What 
am | saying? Of course you know about Manny! You 
guys probably know everything from his childhood 
sweetheart to his shoe size. He's a very memorable 
fellow. Stand-up guy. Good with kids. Excellent 
performer. Diligent leader. Detail-oriented. Task specific. 
Synergy efficiency. Low-hanging fruit. Viable asset 
leverage. Feel free to stop me whenever you feel like it, 
Sully. 


Dr. O'Sullivan: What role does he play at the circus? 


SCP-2094: Ophelia, occasionally— and | always cry. But 
usually he's off doing his own thing. He's a very busy 
upside-down faced man. Does a lot of ... important ... 
upside-down faced man things. 


Dr. O'Sullivan: He sounds like an interesting person. 
When did you meet him? 


SCP-2094: Nah, you don't want to hear about all that. 
Wouldn't you rather hear my impression of Jane Fonda? 
"Pygar! Why did you save her, after all the terrible things 
she did to you?" There, that was pretty good, wasn't it? | 
can also do a decent Audrey Hepburn, and my Hellen 
Keller isn't too bad, either. 


Dr. O'Sullivan: Please don't be afraid to share your 
experiences at the circus. | understand many of the 
freaks were kidnapped and abused from a young age, 
but you're very far from your captors now. They can't hurt 
you here. 


SCP-2094: Kidnapped? Abused? Who all have you been 
talking to? Listen, if I've been less than cooperative with 
you, it's not because I'm traumatized. You can put that 
out of your mind right now. It's 'cause I'm not the type to 
sell my circus family out to the white coats. | know your 
game, Essie. You wanna get all buddy-buddy with me 
and milk me for all I'm worth. Well, tell your boys to 
scribble this down on their clipboards: these people 
you've been hounding? These men and women you've 
been hunting down like criminals? They're saints. You 
hear me? They're good folks! | wasn't kidnapped, you 
dingbat. | ran away, and they took me in with open arms! 


Dr. O'Sullivan: I'm sorry, | didn't mean to insult your 
family. 


SCP-2094: What's this? Some slight semblance of 
sensitivity? Have | begun to worm my way into your cold, 
crusty lump of a heart, doctor? 


Dr. O'Sullivan: Tell me, why did you run off? 


SCP-2094: And there it went. So we're playing the 
backstory game now, eh? Sure. I'll bite. | was eight years 
old. My dad hit the road long before | was born, so | lived 


at home with dear old Mom. A real gem of a woman, my 
mother. She lived an enchanted life, sitting upon her 
mommy throne and drinking her special mommy water 
until her eyes rolled back in her head. She never hit me 
or anything, but she hated me. God, she hated me. And 
the feeling was mutual. Sometimes | would bring home a 
mouthful of woodland creatures just 'cause it drove her 
nuts. Heh. I'd walk up to her all innocent-like, smile one 
of those adorable, eight-year-old smiles... and then spit 
up a couple dozen rats onto her lap. 


Dr. O'Sullivan: So she was aware of your anomalous 
properties? 


SCP-2094: What, you mean this? (SCP-2094 graps his 
lower lip, extends it to arm length, and lets it snap back 
into place.) Yeah, she noticed. There's a good reason | 
wasn't breastfed. And because | was such an odd little 
thing, she kept me holed up inside the house pretty 
much all the time. Guess she was worried I'd eat 
somebody. Not once did it ever occur to me to bust out 
and hit the world on my own, though. Back in the day | 
was a pretty timid kid, b'lieve it or not. But then one 
night— actually, hold on. Let me get back to that ina 
second. Have you ever seen Peter Pan? The animated 
one? 


Dr. O'Sullivan: | have. 


SCP-2094: Okay, good. Where was |? Oh yeah. But 
then one night, when my Mom was asleep, he came into 
my room. Showed up at my window, silhouetted against 
the stars, just like Peter Pan. He told me that freaks 
didn't belong cooped up in boxes their whole lives. He 
told me they belonged out in the world, sharing their 
gifts, making people laugh and scream and puke. He told 
me of a place where I'd be loved by hundreds, where I'd 
be a star, where I'd have a real family. So | took his 
hand. Mummy dearest was too deep in the drink to even 
notice us waltzing out the front door. And that, dear 
Sully, is how | wound up running away to join the circus. 


Best decision of my life. 


Dr. O'Sullivan: Being visited by a stranger in the middle 
of the night didn't alarm you as a child? 


SCP-2094: Well, his face was upside-down, so | 
suppose | should have been a little soooked, but at the 
time | was just excited to meet someone who was even 
weirder than | was. 


Dr. O'Sullivan: And you weren't treated badly at the 
circus? 


SCP-2094: I'll tell ya right now, the circus life ain't for 
everyone, but hey, Manny and the gang did the best they 
could. They put bread in our mouths and pillows under 
our heads. | got a whooping now and again, but what kid 
doesn't? It's all part of growing up. Kept me in line and 
manned me up quickly. The folks at the circus loved me 
like | was one of their own. They never made me feel like 
being a freak was anything to be hidden or ashamed of. 
When you're part of a circus family, you look out for one 
another. You don't just turn around and sell your family 
out to the Essie P. Foundation! 


Dr. O'Sullivan: When the recovery team discovered you, 
you were locked in a trunk. You were left for us to find. 
Can you tell me why that is? 


SCP-2094: (Silence) 


Dr. O'Sullivan: Were there any problems between you 
and your family? 


SCP-2094: Hah! Wouldn't you like to know? Sorry, Sully, 
but | think I've done enough talking. You ain't gettin’ 
nothin’ else out of me. Not now, not never. 


Dr. O'Sullivan: That's fine. Thank you for your time, 
SCP-2094. 


SCP-2094: Hey, don't mention it! Anything for my 


number one fan. 
<End log> 

Selected Interview #2: 
Interviewer: Dr. O'Sullivan 
Interviewee: SCP-2094 


Notes: Interview conducted eight months after 
SCP-2094 entered containment. 


<Begin log> 
SCP-2094 is led into interview chamber. 


SCP-2094: Bless me blarney stones! It's ol' Doc Sullivan 
again! How've you been, doc? Because I've been great! 


Dr. O'Sullivan: Is that a fact? 


SCP-2094: Of course not, ya dingus! This place is a total 
shithole! What kinda hotel are you lot running, anyhow? | 
knew | shoulda booked the Hilton. 


Dr. O'Sullivan: I'm sorry to hear that. Life in Bio Site-59 
might take some getting used to. Is there anything 
particular you're having trouble adjusting to? 


SCP-2094: Well, since you asked, the food tastes like 
elephant guano, the bed's as hard as a rock, and the 
little red light on the camera keeps me up at night. And 
would it really kill you guys to stock the bathrooms with 
two-ply? Seriously, I've slept in prisons that were more 
hospitable than this place. 


Dr. O'Sullivan: You know, SCP-2094, if you can provide 
me with some additional information on the circus, | 
could put in a formal request for improved— 


SCP-2094: Oh, not that again! I'm not gonna dish, you 


hear me? 


Dr. O'Sullivan: You don't have to tell us anything that 
might compromise the safety of your family. We're not 
after sensitive information, necessarily. Just tell me 
about the circus. Acts you've performed, friends you've 
made. Anything will work. 


SCP-2094: Hrm. Anything, huh? 
Dr. O'Sullivan: Within reason, yes. 


SCP-2094: And you'll give me junk if | just spin some 
simple yarns for you? 


Dr. O'Sullivan: That could be arranged, yes. 
SCP-2094: Softer bed? Better food? DVDs? 

Dr. O'Sullivan: Those sound like reasonable requests. 
SCP-2094: Adult magazines, even? 

Dr. O'Sullivan: | ... I'll see what | can do. 

SCP-2094 shrugs. 


SCP-2094: You know what? Sure. Why the hell not? I've 
been itching to talk to somebody anyway. Where should | 
start? 


Dr. O'Sullivan: | think— 


SCP-2094: (/nterrupting) Never mind, | know where. 
Okay, so picture this: lush, green grass. Wide open 
space. Blues skies above. Imagine the most perfect day 
possible— anomalously perfect, you might say. All of our 
days are like that. Never a raincloud in sight. Now 
imagine candy-striped tents, and musicians in brightly 
colored outfits, and balloon animals that prance through 
the air above you, and clowns that actually succeed at 
being funny. Picture, if you will, the most beautiful 


goddamn circus you've ever dreamt of, and then forget 
about it, because it's nothing compared to Herman 
Fuller's. 


Of course, it's not always what you'd call "crowd ready". 
Things can get a bit, uh, chaotic at times. All right, full 
disclosure: it's a madhouse more often than not, but by 
golly, when the normies start rolling in, there's not a hair 
out of place. You can thank our Ringmaster for that. 
She's phenomenal, in terms of leadership skill as well as 
booty. Hello, nurse! She wasn't around when | got first 
arrived, though. The overall look and feel of the circus 
hasn't really changed since the turn of the century; the 
people, however, change quite a bit, as they are wont to 
do. 


Take me, for example. | think | mentioned before that | 
wasn't always the charming portrait of confidence | am 
today. In the early days | was a tender-footed little lad, 
recently departed from home, overwhelmed by the 
strange and wonderful world he'd been swept up into. | 
mostly just stood around staring in dumbstruck awe at 
everything around me. Never really talked or nothin’. | 
was a pretty wide-eyed kid, and an adorable one, from 
what | hear, so obviously they gave me a job as a human 
clown car. | mean, really, what else could they do but 
send me on stage with a few dozen clowns waiting to 
lurch out of my gut? It wasn't the most glamorous job, but 
| did get some kicks out of it. Heh. You should have seen 
the looks on the audience's faces when that marching 
band started parading out from my lips. Priceless. 


Let's see. After that, | learned some juggling from a guy 
named Scythe. Total douchebooger, but pretty handy 
with a pair of swords. | never got to handle them, of 
course. Just balls and clubs and all that. Scythe was 
another story entirely. | mean, you could shove a shiv 
into every square inch of that guy's body and he wouldn't 
bat an eye. He was a real baby when it came to being 
set on fire, though, and ended up going up in smoke in 


the middle of a show. Total spoil sport, dying like that. 
They held a service for him, but | was busy that day. 


After a while | got more comfortable around the other 
folks. Started to assert myself. The clown shtick had to 
end. | mean, it was fun and all, but it didn't really mesh 
with my newfound sense of pride. So | did the juggling 
thing for a while, tossing random junk around and then 
swallowing it at the end. Pretty low-scale stuff, 
comparatively speaking, and | knew I'd end up getting 
relegated to the Den of Freaks if | didn't up my game. 
Don't get me wrong: there's a ton of great folks in the 
Den and it's not a bad place, but it's not the big time, you 
know? 


So when | got to be a horny teenager, | thought, "why not 
devour a woman whole?" At first, everyone thought it'd 
just be a step down from the clown thing, but then | came 
up with the idea to put a plant in the audience, call them 
up into the ring, and then swallow them in one gulp. It 
was all right, | guess, and nicely provocative, but the act 
didn't really take off until | got Theodore in on it. In 
addition to being able to turn himself inside-out, Theo 
also had a knack for the gymnastic stuff, and we 
managed to make a high diving act out of it. He'd leap off 
a diving board, flip his innards outwards, and plop right 
into me. It was a hit, of course. Theo and | got a lot of 
attention after that, especially once we started dating. 
Turned out that | found guys just as much fun to swallow 
as gals. 


The act got stale after a while, though. And then when | 
broke it off with Theo, that put the final nail in its coffin. 
He went back to the Den, and | was gonna be following 
pretty quick if | didn't think of something new to do. | 
thought and | thought and brainstormed up a hurricane, 
but nothing would come to me. | needed a big ticket idea, 
something that wouldn't just be a hit but would earn me 
legendary status. And then one day when | was dumping 
an especially long string of ideas on Quincy, he told me 


he'd barf a swarm of bees on my face if | didn't shut my 
motormouth. And then it hit me: Motormouth. 


I'd gotten pretty talkative at that point, so it was an 
appropriate enough title to take on, but the act that came 
with it was a stroke of genius, if | do say so myself. 
Picture this: two lovely assistants on either side of me. 
They pull my mouth open good and wide. Then, all of a 
sudden, a Chrysler comes barreling into the Big Top, hits 
a ramp, and sails down my throat. Pretty fantastic, huh? 
... You don't look impressed. Imagination's atrophied, 
eh? Well, just take my word for it when | say it was pretty 
damn nifty. Great spectacle value, and legitimately 
dangerous. | may be magic, but | doubt that even I'd 
survive a Porsche to the face if it were to miss. 


| got the legend status | was looking for, of course. 
Became one of the top-billed acts nearly overnight. 
Things were going swimmingly for me. And then | ended 
up here. Way to go for that, ruining my life and all. At 
least I'll be remembered as a star. That's nice. This still 
sucks, though, | gotta say. Now how much stuff did that 
earn me?

a Class II dimensional/implosion hazard and must be remotely 
destroyed on-site following mandatory evacuation of the laboratory 
area. Personnel trapped within a closed space are to be considered 
lost. 


Experimentation with SCP-234 may only be performed with express, 
prior permission from at least two (2) Level 4 Personnel. 
Experimentation which introduces closed spaces into the Red Zone 
of SCP-234 may not exceed 1 Lin volume, and must be treated as a 
Class III dimensional/implosion hazard. 


Description: SCP-234 is a species of organism of presumed 
extradimensional origin resembling fish measuring approximately 
25 mm in length. SCP-234 does not appear to have any eyes or 
light-sensitive organs, but navigates via a highly evolved sense of 
echolocation. It maintains buoyancy via a gas-filled organ similar to 
a swim bladder which allows it to float in air, and exhibits behavior 
consistent with an omnivorous scavenger organism, though to date 
it has not been observed consuming any terrestrial organic matter. 


SCP-234 appears to only be able to exist within a closed, air-filled 
space, and will spontaneously come into existence whenever such a 
closed space exists or is brought within the Red Zone, an area of 
approximately 300 meter radius in a remote area in the mountains 


SCP-2094: Stop it! Don't! Please! | wasn't going to— 
Stop! 


SCP-2094 leaps from its bed and begins knocking its 
head violently against the wall. 


SCP-2094: Don't- take— anything— 


SCP-2094 loses balance and falls to the floor. It 
screams. 


SCP-2094: It's all | have, now, Manny! It's all | have! 
<End log> 


When SCP-2094 was taken out of its sedated state, it displayed 
symptoms of severe retrograde amnesia in episodic memory, 
specifically in memories related to its experiences in Gol-233. Dr. 
O'Sullivan was issued an official reprimand for not using more 
immediate information extraction techniques before the incident took 
place, and resigned from his post as lead researcher for SCP-2094 
on 01/15/07. 


SCP-2094 entered a severely depressed psychological state 
following this incident. Dr. Anniston began psychotropic treatment of 
SCP-2094's condition on 02/03/07. 


Dr. Anniston's Report #1: The following is a message sent from 
Dr. Anniston to Site Director Bluthe on 02/13/07. 


Hello, 


| am writing to you today to inform you that SCP-2094 
has undergone an extreme change in personality since | 
was first assigned to it early last year. Before, it was 
lively, energetic, and highly talkative, quick to engage in 
banter and turn of phrase. Speaking freely, it was one of 
the few patients | enjoyed speaking with, occasional lewd 
remarks notwithstanding. 


However, since the December incident, SCP-2094 has 
grown increasingly withdrawn. In addition to its 


depression, it has developed severe anxiety, and 
appears to be in a constant state of terror at its 
surroundings. Its interpersonal skills have rapidly 
degenerated, to the point of being visibly nervous around 
interviewers, even those permitted to address it by its 
given name for bonding purposes. SCP-2094 has also 
shown a marked decrease in its interest in physical 
activity, including juggling, which was a pastime in which 
it regularly engaged in with any object it could get its 
hands on. 


| know that your vision for Bio Site-59 is one where 
anomalies are kept reasonably healthy and happy, and 
the success of your mental health treatment initiative 
continues to positively influence other humanoid 
containment facilities. However, I'm afraid that there's 
only so much that | can do at this point. Attempts to treat 
its depression have worsened its anxiety, and attempts 
to treat its anxiety have worsened its depression. | have 
consulted with my peers on this issue, and we agree that 
SCP-2094's unstable mental state puts riskier options 
out of the equation. 


We will continue to do our best to treat SCP-2094 
medicinally and through counseling, but it seems unlikely 
that SCP-2094 will return to its previous disposition. 
Given your commitment to SCP quality of life, | know this 
will come as a disappointment to you, especially after the 
letter you sent noting your fondness for its 
unconventional interview logs. | felt it was important for 
you to be aware of the situation, and given your 
background in the mental health field, | hope that you will 
not hesitate to offer any advice you may have concerning 
the situation. 


Dr. Miranda Anniston 
Incident Log #2 


On 03/11/07, SCP-2094 was found attempting to consume itself in 
what is presumed to be a Suicide attempt. Bio Site-59 caretakers 


were able to successfully restrain and sedate SCP-2094. Dr. 
Anniston approved paperwork placing SCP-2094 on Level-2 suicide 
watch on 03/12/07. 


Dr. Anniston's Report #2: 


The following is a message sent from Dr. Anniston to Site Director 
Bluthe on 04/15/14. 


Hello, 


As you are aware, | have been in charge of overseeing 
SCP-2094's psychiatric treatment for the past eight 
years. During that time, it has shown minimal and 
inconsistent progress, continually resisting treatment and 
refusing to cooperate with me and my staff. However, 
over the past two months, I've observed a significant 
degree of improvement in SCP-2094's overall condition. 
It's beginning to open up about its thoughts and feelings 
for the first time in years, and has even requested 
juggling clubs, which it has been granted access to 
under supervision. 


SCP-2094 has yet to completely explain what led to its 
improvement in mood, but so far I've been able to gather 
that it has "made peace with the past", "forgiven and 
been forgiven in return," and "gotten back something 
valuable". Presumably, these statements have to do with 
it regaining some memories lost to its amnesia. Due to 
the comparatively high level of cooperation SCP-2094 
has shown recently, | am not pressing for further 
answers at this time, although more in-depth interviews 
are scheduled to be conducted. 


Yesterday afternoon, SCP-2094 submitted a formal 
request to hold a performance for the staff of Bio Site-59. 
It is my personal recommendation that this request be 
granted—under strictly supervised conditions, of course— 
as long as SCP-2094's condition continues to show 
improvement. I've lowered suicide risk level to RL-1, and 
hope to see it at RL-L by the end of the year. As you are 


aware, high-risk humanoids are a substantial drain on 
resources, and it is my hope that we will be able to use 
some of the funding saved on extreme supervision for 
additional research. 


It's likely that, over the course of reading this letter, the 
thought has crossed your mind that SCP-2094 is merely 
putting on an act to manipulate personnel into complying 
with its whims. As SCP-2094's primary caretaker for 
almost the entirety of the past decade, | can safely say 
that if it is, in fact, acting, then we can assume with 
certainty that SCP-2094 is once again as healthy as it 
was during its first few years of containment. Eccentric, 
yes, but healthy. 


Dr. Miranda Anniston 
Selected Interview #3: 

Interviewer: Dr. Anniston 

Interviewee: SCP-2094 


Notes: The following is an excerpt from an interview 
recorded on 5/16/14. 


<Begin log> 
Dr. Anniston: And he ate the entire thing? 


SCP-2094: Yeah, the entire thing! (Laughs) | told him it 
was my job. 


Dr. Anniston: And then what did you do? 


SCP-2094: Oh, you know. | just decided to take the high 
road and give 'im a couple minutes time out in my gut. 


Dr. Anniston: You didn't! 


SCP-2094: | did, indeed! Boy, Manny was furious. Not as 
furious as he was after the ol’ noodle incident of course, 


but you know. 


Dr. Anniston: You're referring to the misadventure that 
led to you ending up in the trunk, correct? I've wondered 
about that for a while now. Have you gotten those 
memories back? 


SCP-2094: Yeah. | still don't have everything, but I've got 
all of that stuff. Kinda wish | could forget it. 


Dr. Anniston: That's all right. I'm not going to press you 
about it if you're not ready. 


SCP-2094: Heh. | know you won't. That's why I'm gonna 
tell ya. 


Dr. Anniston: You really don't have to— 


SCP-2094: Too late. I've made up my mind. Okay, so 
you know how Manny saved me from my rotten home 
life? 


Dr. Anniston: | do. 


SCP-2094: Well, that's how Manny did things for a long 
time. He helped people. | don't think he had been in 
charge that long before | joined. The thing is, the longer 
he was in power, the more he changed. It was little 
things at first, you Know? Snippier attitude and all that. 
Folks just chalked it up to the stress of keeping all of us 
weirdos in order. But then he started bringing in these 
kids— he'd always brought in kids, of course, every once 
in a while. Maybe about two or three a year. 


That may sound like a lot of kids, but you gotta 
remember that the Circus of the Disquieting isn't just a 
single show, it's a multifaceted entertainment 
extravaganza. There's the Big Top show, of course, but 
there's also the Den of Freaks, the Menagerie of 
Mayhem, the individual tents for special acts, not to 
mention all of the non-performance jobs... Point is we've 


got a plethora of people in all sorts of places, both kids 
and adults. But at some point or another, Manny started 
bringing in kids that were different from the ones who'd 
come before. | should know; | was the one who usually 
worked with them. 


Manny gave the usual stories. Broken family, orphan, 
saved from the streets, stuff like that. But there was 
something off about them. | figured it was just trauma, or 
they were overwhelmed by the circus like | had been, but 
something still didn't feel quite right. | didn't trust my gut, 
though. | was stupid for a long time. | put on my charm, 
played around with them, got them to warm up to the 
circus and forget about whatever it was that haunted 
them. 


That changed with this one kid, though. Little girl. 
Delicate little thing— literally, that was her whole shtick. 
She'd fall to pieces and put herself back together again. | 
was standing with her one day, trying to teach her to 
juggle herself, and all of a sudden she just broke down 
and started crying, saying she wanted to go home. That 
was when | knew, deep in my gut, that Manny'd been 
taking kids. If The Man with the Upside-Down Face 
wants you to keep quiet about something, it's no easy 
feat to share it. 


| yelled. | fought. | told him that wasn't how we did things 
anymore. And you know what he did? He slapped me 
straight across the face and told me that he was just 
doing what he could do to keep the circus alive. Can you 
believe that? Even with everything we were doing, he still 
thought the circus was on the verge of collapse. In 
hindsight, | think he might have just been overly worried, 
or maybe still hung up on Fuller's way of doing things. 
Either way, it's still no excuse for what he did. 


| couldn't stand it. | had to do something. | stashed the 
girl away in my mouth and snuck her off to the 
Kaleidoscope. She was home before lunch. Manny was 
waiting for me when | got back. He was livid, of course. 


Said I'd betrayed him, betrayed the circus, betrayed the 
trust that was put in me when | got transportation 
privileges. He made a huge deal out of it. Called 
everybody together to watch him locking me in the trunk 
for you guys to find. 


Heh. It's kind of funny looking back on it, now that | know 
that it practically killed him to do it. He was so scared of 
losing control. He had to make an example of me. "Essie 
P" was the big bugaboo around the circus at the time, 
see, since the big "Emcee D" scare had blown over. It 
makes sense that he'd use that to his advantage. He had 
to get me out of the picture, but at least he sent me 
somewhere safe. Yeesh, look at me talk. You got 
anything to drink in here?

SCP-2095: The Siege of Gyaros 


Item #: SCP-2095 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Reliquary Site-26 was 
constructed around SCP-2095, preventing access and enclosing it 
from view. Site-26 has been disguised as a weather observatory and 
agents within the Greek government are to ensure that the site is 
publicly viewed as such. 


Description: SCP-2095 is a primarily subterranean temple 
complex! located at Gyaros, an arid and uninhabited Greek island in 
the Aegean Sea. Structure predates previously known 
archaeological sites on the island. Inscriptions found within have 
included Cretan hieroglyphs, Linear A, Hittite Cuneiform, and a 
previously unknown writing system composed of spiral-shaped 
glyphs varying in complexity.2 


SCP-2095 is composed of entirely biological material and is believed 
to have once been a living organism. Samples taken from SCP-2095 
have revealed bone, chitin, muscle, adipose and viscera. 
Radiocarbon dating has placed the subject's death at cal 1200-1000 
BCE (10) with soft tissue having undergone a form of embalmment. 


Chambers are connected together via tunnels which are structurally 
and cellularly similar to the inner lining of the human intestinal tract. 
Large sphincters appear to have served as doors and are 
permanently relaxed. These portals would have likely been able to 
open and close as needed pre-mortem. 


The largest room contains an altar composed of bone, a component 
of the SCP-2095 organism. Forensic evidence suggests that it was 
used in a Sacrificial manner. It is believed possible that living 
sacrifices provided SCP-2095 with the nutrients necessary for its 
survival and the floor itself shows signs of acidic corrosion. The base 


of the altar has been carved into an Ouroboros, believed to be a 
symbol of religious importance to the creators of SCP-2095. 


Twenty-nine scrolls were discovered within the northern most 
chamber of SCP-2095. Only four were found to be written in Hittite 
Cuneiform while the rest remain undecipherable. Of those four, 
three are considered to be of a spiritual/philosophical nature while 
one appears to be an inventory report. 


Foundation archaeologists have found evidence of warfare 
throughout the island. This has included skeletal remains depicting 
likely anomalous causes for death such as implosion, internal 
combustion, disintegration, radiation poisoning, and fatal physical 
reconfiguration. 


The Foundation became aware of SCP-2095 after reports of a 
"cathedral of bone" being discovered by a team of Greek 
archaeologists who had been studying a large mound on the isle of 
Gyaros. Class-B Amnestics were administered and the 
archaeologists were returned to the general population. SCP-2095 
was easily secured and construction of Reliquary Site-26 was 
completed by 12/09/1949.

The Wound, cut from the flesh of totality - 
deep, it severed the line of future and past. 
Drawn to its ancient fester, gods swarmed as 
flies to a corpse. We waited within bloodless 
veins, faithful to that which we could not know 


near [REDACTED]. When an SCP-234 specimen is startled, killed, 
brought out of the Red Zone, or the closed space containing the 
specimen is breached, all matter (including air) within the closed 
space is immediately extradimensionally evacuated with sufficient 
force to cause a catastrophic implosion within the surrounding area. 


SCP-234 was discovered following a series of incident reports and 
disappearances of back-country hikers near [REDACTED]. A 
Foundation survey team sent to the area inadvertently created a 
closed space with a standard adverse-weather camping tent, whose 
subsequent implosion resulted in the disappearance of one (1) 
research personnel and severe injuries to an additional two (2) 
agents. 


Research is ongoing into how SCP-234 is capable of 
extradimensional movement. Experimentation is hampered by the 
inability to study SCP-234 outside of closed spaces, and attempts to 
trace evacuated objects via the use of tracking devices has yielded 
no results; to date, objects evacuated by specimens of SCP-234 
have never been found again. 


Addendum 234-01: Incident Log 234-031 


On // , Dr. accidentally introduced a closed space into the 
Red Zone of SCP-234 in the form of a sealed coffee thermos. Upon 
opening the container, the resulting implosion startled four (4) 
additional SCP-234 instances within the testing area, causing a 
chain reaction that inflicted severe damage to the laboratory as well 
as Causing injuries to six (6) research personnel. Post-incident 
photographs of the remains of Dr. are kept on file as a warning 
to research personnel assigned to SCP-234 as to the consequences 
of carelessness during experimentation.

Addendum: On 05/24/2014, an earthquake occurred in the Aegean 
Sea. Reliquary Site-26 was unharmed, as were the anomalous 
objects retained within since its construction. SCP-2095 did however 
suffer some structural damage but proved to be a serendipitous 
event. A hitherto unknown sphincter, sealed and hidden through 
calcification, had ruptured open within the altar chamber. 


Exploration of the chamber led to the discovery of the body of a 
human male. Individual has shown no signs of decay and although 
lacking a detectable heartbeat, EEG scans have revealed low-level 
brain activity. Research into the subject and its relationship with 
SCP-2095 is currently ongoing. 


Found inside was a single well-preserved scroll, strewn carelessly 
and likely never meant to be contained within. Deduced to be a 
letter, it is believed to have been written by the ruling authority at 
SCP-2095 but had been unsent, possibly due to events directly 
referenced within. The document has been translated and is now 
accessible for viewing by Foundation personnel:

nations crumble. Still, they have transmuted 
Our every victory in the region to that of defeat, 
even as their own fates are sealed.

SCP-2096: Elder Care 


Item #: SCP-2096 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2096 is to be held in an 
MSHA! containment cell at Area 26. Following Event 08/29/2001 -2, 
the subject has remained in a comatose state. A minimum of one 
Medical Department personnel and one Research Department 
personnel are to monitor SCP-2096 at all times. In the event of 
SCP-2096 regaining consciousness, Containment Subterfuge 
Protocol 002 ("Conventional Medical Facility") is to be initiated until 
current containment protocols are reestablished. 


To maximize the probability and speed of re-containment in the case 
of an SCP-2096 event, autonomous redundancy systems have been 
implemented. Personnel monitoring the subject are required to send 
messages to personnel at Site 19 no less frequently than three 
times an hour. If no messages are received for thirty minutes, 
automated lockdown of Area 26 will initiate. Because of the potential 
variance in duration for an SCP-2096 event, this lockdown will be 
maintained until reestablishment of containment protocols has been 
verified. 


Description: SCP-2096 is a Caucasian female, eighty-one years of 
age. The subject, given name , is within average parameters 
of physical health for an individual of their age. SCP-2096 has been 
designated a Class 3U reality bender.2 SCP-2096 events are 
triggered by the subject's level of emotional distress and increase in 
intensity in proportion to the same vector. 


Recorded SCP-2096 events have to date always been preceded by 
the subject experiencing cognitive or physical impairment 
attributable to their dementia. When the subject is faced with a 
situation where any of their functions are noticeably diminished, the 
ensuing temporary reality restructuring event alters the cognitive 


functions of individuals within the effect vicinity to replicate the 
impairments being experienced by SCP-2096. Most often this 
results in those affected involuntarily undergoing analogues to 
SCP-2096's current memory loss; common examples have included 
confusion regarding their current location, the inability to identify 
others on sight, and the inability to remember the procedures for fine 
motor skill activities. While the effect occurs very rapidly following 
the onset of distress it is not instantaneous, with delay durations 
reaching as high as sixty-seven seconds in recorded events. 
Cessation of effect is similar in delay. 


According to medical records acquired from the family of SCP-2096 
upon containment, the subject began to present symptoms of 
Alzheimer's disease in August of 1998. These symptoms were first 
documented following hospitalization for injuries suffered after a fall 
in the home; the accident has since been theorized to be an acute 
representation of the onset of truncal ataxia. Formal diagnosis of 
Alzheimer's was made in December of 1998 following continued 
symptomatic behaviors. Prior to the onset of Alzheimer's in 
SCP-2096, no anomalous events had been recorded by the family 
or any medical institution. It is as of yet unclear whether the 
subject's facets as a reality bender had been latent prior to 
neurological degeneration or if all SCP-2096 events prior to the 
condition were comprehensive enough in their reality restructuring 
as to leave no evidence of previous consensus realities. 


Discovery: SCP-2096 was voluntarily remanded into Foundation 
custody by family members on 5/27/2001 following a temporary 
reality restructuring event which resulted in a multi-vehicle accident 
and the hospitalization of the subject and several others. Foundation 
liaisons in place at the medical facility were alerted to the potentially 
anomalous nature of the subject by familial testimony of prior events 
during the hospital's intake process. 


Event 08/29/2001-1 Report: 


Duration: 00:00:49 

Maximum Recorded Area of Effect: ~ 7m 

Notes: The subject's facets activated following a sudden 
and asymptomatic onset of emotional distress, 
manifested physically in the form of excessive weeping. 


Administration of sedation was in progress when 
SCP-2096's anomalous effect manifested. Personnel 
within the area of effect were functionally incapacitated 
by racking sobs and an emotional state consistently 
characterized after the event as "hopeless" by those 
affected. Enough sedative had been administered to 
permit rapid termination of the event in spite of the 
protocol's interruption by personnel incapacitation. 


Following Event 08/29/2001-1, review of on-site and off-site mental 
health accessibility for personnel who have experienced an 
SCP-2096 event has been proposed. 


Event 08/29/2001-2 Report: 


Duration: 00:24:17 

Maximum Recorded Area of Effect: = 1.2km 

Notes: SCP-2096 began to laugh with rapidly increasing 
intensity. Onset was minimal enough in delay and severe 
enough in intensity to preclude normal sedation 
protocols. Uncontrollable fits of laughter were 
experienced by all personnel at Area 26 and anecdotal 
evidence implies that the area of effect reached as far 
the outskirts of , atits peak. The subject 
experienced laughter-induced syncope and lost 
consciousness at 00:11:25 before awakening at 00:17:51 
with no lingering emotional incontinence. The 
approximately thirteen minute delay between the end of 
SCP-2096's emotional distress via unconsciousness and 
the termination of its effect on individuals within the effect 
vicinity was unprecedented. 


Following Event 08/29/2001-2, the Palmer Protocol’ has been 
invoked by approval of SCP-2096 Lead Researcher Emsworth. 
SCP-2096 has been chemically induced into a comatose state as of 
08/30/2001. The duration of this containment protocol is currently 
unspecified; weekly evaluations of the subject's state of physical 
health and potential revisions to the primary containment procedures 
are scheduled. 


Addendum 10/17/2001: SCP-2096 was diagnosed on 10/15/2001 


with a moderate chest infection; this type of condition often occurs in 
comatose subjects due to the general absence of the cough reflex. 
Treatment thus far has prevented the worsening of the condition but 
has been ineffective as a cure. As part of the weekly evaluation 
procedure on 10/17/2001, a proposal to wake SCP-2096 in the 
hopes of mitigating continued growth of the infection and to improve 
quality of life has been suggested. A counter-proposal of 
euthanization, citing the known and presumed risks of SCP-2096 in 
a conscious state following Event 08/29/2001-2, was made. Both 
proposals will be presented to an Ethics Committee tribunal during 
the next weekly evaluation on 10/24/2001. 


Ethics Committee Report 10/29/2001: 


The tribunal responsible for this casefile's review has 
determined that the risks garnered by waking SCP-2096 
outweigh the potential quality of life benefits. Were it the 
case that a return to both full physical health and 
manageable mental health states were probable, this 
decision would have been more complex; unfortunately, 
this is not so. Nor is it practical to continue to keep 
SCP-2096 in its comatose state, given no current

advances that would permit an acceptable level of quality

SCP-2097: The Perfect Foil 


Item #: SCP-2097 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2097 is to be held in a 
well-lit standard containment chamber. Historical Mongolian texts 
and children's books written in Spanish are to be arranged on the 
floor nearby; different texts are to be rotated in on a monthly basis. 
The room is to be monitored by four CCTV cameras, with at least 
one directly focused on SCP-2097 at all times. Access to the 
chamber is to require Level-3 clearance. Should instances of 
SCP-2097-1 manifest, Researcher Adams (or the Level-3 
Researcher currently assigned to SCP-2097) is to be informed 
immediately. 


Description: SCP-2097 has four observed forms: a fencing foil, a 
leaf-shaped arc, a thin sheet of metal, and a curved metal plate. The 
material that SCP-2097 is composed of may vary between 
manifested forms; material analysis does not reveal any 
abnormalities in the substances themselves. SCP-2097 will 
transition repeatedly between these forms, with its most common 
appearance being a thin sheet of aluminum. SCP-2097's 
transformation process is irregular and instantaneous; high speed 
camera footage reveals the object changing from one form to the 
next apparently in between frames. 


Prior to first manifestation of SCP-2097-2, a piece of paper with a 
written message (henceforth referred to as SCP-2097-1) would 
occasionally materialize next to SCP-2097. Instances of 
SCP-2097-1 were usually written in crude English, though one 
instance was written in Mongolian. See below for examples of 
messages found on instances of SCP-2097-1. 


worthy teacher why does no word rhyme with orange is it 
most beautiful word? 


what is mr. and dr. and mrs. and ms. those aren't words 
this is not perfect 


friend, why is it tooth and teeth not booth and beeth? 


Instances of SCP-2097-1 were later discovered to have been sent 
by SCP-2097-2. Writing on instances of SCP-2097-1 allowed the 
Foundation to communicate with SCP-2097-2 before it began to 
physically manifest in Foundation containment. 


SCP-2097-2 is an entity that assumes the appearance of a Puss 
Moth caterpillar (Cerura vinula) and claims to have created 
SCP-2097. SCP-2097-2 is able to produce high-pitched 
vocalizations and can communicate in Mongolian and basic English. 
lt claims to be a minor deity serving the god Tengri and has 
demonstrated detailed knowledge of the Mongol Empire. 
Throughout its interactions with the Foundation, SCP-2097-1 has 
been cooperative and amicable. It consistently expresses a desire 
for the presence of a man named "Juan". 


+ Interview Log 2097-01 


Interview Log 2097-01 

Notes: This is the first recorded instance of 
communication with SCP-2097-2. Researcher 
Adams was the active listed researcher of 
SCP-2097 at this time. Communication was 
achieved through writing on instances of 
SCP-2097-1. SCP-2097-2's reply appears 
within a few seconds; written messages are 
capitalized to distinguish from spoken 
dialogue. 


Adams: HELLO 
SCP-2097-2: HELLO 
Adams: IS ANYONE THERE? 


SCP-2097-2: YES. IT HAS BEEN LONG 
SINCE YOU WROTE BACK. 


SCP-235: Phonographic Records 


Item #: SCP-235 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Currently, four (4) instances of 
SCP-235 have been recovered. All instances are to be kept ina 
secure storage locker within Reliquary Research and Containment 
Site-76. Authorization of two (2) Clearance Level 2 staff is required 
to remove an instance of SCP-235 from storage for research and 
testing purposes. 


Description: SCP-235 appear to be shellac phonograph records of 
the type commonly produced in the late 1920s. Each instance of 
SCP-235 has a white label with the title in black lettering. Each 
record contains a different song. They are as follows: 


Instance Title Artist and Year| Number of skips 
per play 
SCP-235-1 "After You Get) Van & Schenck, Four 


What You Wart, 1920 
You Don't Want 
it" 


SCP-235-2 "Dark was the | Blind Willie Five 
Night" Johnson, 1927 

SCP-235-3 "Who's Sorry | Marion Harris,| Seven 
Now" 1923 

SCP-235-4 Unknown Unknown Fifteen 


SCP-235-4 has no label and contains a song that has not been 
identified. The tune has no lyrics, and is a slow, mournful dirge. 


Each instance of SCP-235 creates an identical phenomenon when 
played at speeds between 77 and 79 rpm: all objects within a certain 
distance of the recording (correlated with the volume at which it 
plays) appear to freeze in place whenever the record "skips", or is 


Adams: HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN? 


SCP-2097-2: A FEW MONTHS. WHERE 
HAVE YOU BEEN? 


Adams: | HAVE BEEN BUSY 


(There was no reply for three minutes. 
SCP-2097-2 then materialized next to 
SCP-2097) 


Adams: Shit! 
SCP-2097-2: Who are you? 


Adams: | am Researcher Adams. What- 
(SCP-2097-2 interrupts Adams) 


SCP-2097-2: Where am |? What is 
Researcher? Where is Juan? 


Adams: Calm down. You are in a safe place. | 
am a doctor and | am here to help you. Can 
you tell me more about Juan? 


SCP-2097-2: (Unintelligible Mongolian)) (Post 
interview, this translated into various 
expletives directed towards Researcher 
Adams.) 


Adams: Sorry, | did not understand that. 
Could you- (Adams is interrupted again) 


SCP-2097-2: Bring me books! 


At this point, SCP-2097-2 ceases 
communication and vanishes. 


Containment procedures were updated and 
subsequent interviews included the presence 
of a Mongolian translator. 


Addendum 2097-01: Since books were introduced to the 
containment area, SCP-2097-2 has been observed to appear every 
twenty-three days, examining the books for eight hours before 
disappearing. However, upon personnel entering the containment 
area while SCP-2097-2 is present, it will immediately demanifest 
and will not appear for another twenty-three days. 


After a year of this continued behavior, Researcher Adams left a 
note on top of SCP-2097: "Please talk to me." At the next cycle, 
SCP-2097-2 remained in the room while Adams was present (see 
interview log). 


+ Interview Log 2097-07 


Notes: This interview was conducted in 
Mongolian with the help of a translator. It has 
been translated into English for ease of 
reading. 


Adams: Please tell me who Juan is, who you 
are, and what this is. (points at SCP-2097) 


SCP-2097-2: | am Shiba, one of knowledge, 
servant of god Tengri. This shape is one of my 
forms incarnate, allows me to read. Juan is my 
English teacher. He is a wise and valiant 
explorer. His real name is Juan Caballero and 
he is an Spaniard, a friend of deities and 
creator of perfect things. 


Adams: Do you know what that thing is? 
(gestures to SCP-2097) 


SCP-2097-2: It is proof of divine friendship. 
After many trials, our first masterpiece, the one 
Juan wished to keep. With Juan's knowledge 
and my power, together we make for the world 
the most beautiful things. Words that are many 
things are beautiful. We make things worthy of 
their name. Juan swore he would continue our 
work. Where is Juan? Did you take him? 


Adams: | don't know where Juan is, but | can 
help you find him. Can you tell me more about 
Juan? 


SCP-2097-2: Juan told me that he loves to 
explore the world. | met him at the Lake of 
Youth while | was reading a book, and he 
taught me English! | still remember the first 
book he read to me, The Canterbury Tales. 
We had lessons every day and he would tell 
me about the wonders of the world, or stories 
about his travels. To share, | would tell him the 
history of the Mongol Empire. 


Adams: Why do you only come here once 
every twenty-three days? 


SCP-2097-2: What are you talking about? | 
come every day to read! 


<End of log> 


A search for the man named "Juan Caballero", described 
as an Spanish scholar and explorer, is currently ongoing. 


Addendum 2097-02: Foundation investigation has discovered a 
Juan Caballero, deceased since 1548. Mr. Caballero was an 
obscure scholar and documented to be fluent in Spanish, English, 
and Old Norse. Although the Foundation did not find any record of 
him being familiar with the Mongolian language, it is probable that 
this is the man that SCP-2097-2 is referring to. Efforts are ongoing 
to recover more information about this individual and their 
descendants. 


Addendum 2097-03: On / / , SCP-2097-2 appeared in the 
containment area along with two sheets of stainless steel, a 1 cm 
thick piece of oak wood and a leaf from the Bearded Iris (Iris 
germanica). SCP-2097-2 explained that it "had remembered what 
Juan had wanted to work on next". Researcher Adams told 
SCP-2097-2 that the Foundation had found someone who knows 
where Juan is, and suggested that SCP-2097-2 return later. 


SCP-2097-2 replied, "It will be good to meet again. He is an 
uncommonly honest man, and always kept his promises." and 
demanifested, leaving the materials in the containment area.

SCP-2098: Saint Simon's Day 


Item #: SCP-2098 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: All containment efforts are 
directed towards surveillance of Prime Susceptibility Communities 
and rapid mobilization of venue disruption teams upon confirmation 
of a SCP-2098 Phase 2 event. 


Site-23's two dedicated PSC-2098 monitoring team members are to 
maintain media oversight of yet-unaffected Prime Susceptibility 
Communities as their sole function. GenStat Team 88-Bartleby is to 
maintain the ongoing global media search procedures for SCP-2098 
activity outside of Prime Susceptibility Communities at a Priority 3 in 
their duty cycle (to be altered as necessary by site management, 
RAISA, or O5 mandate). 


Containment teams stationed in active SCP-2098 communities are 
to monitor and maintain an accurate record of all instances of "Saint 
Simon's Day" and intervene to prevent virulent behaviors in any 
SCP-2098 vectors. SCP-2098-Red vectors should be taken into 
custody under the guise of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and 
remanded to Site-23 for analysis and disposal. Containment teams 
are to use standard hearing protection when attempting to contain 
any potential SCP-2098-Red vector. 


Local monitoring teams are to be stationed in any community 
affected by a SCP-2098 event, regardless of whether or not 
disruption was successful. Expanded local mass media surveillance 
(to include delivery methods such as skywriting, smartphone-based 
advertising, and faith-based community outreach) should continue 
indefinitely until further research determines the long-term effects of 
event exposure on community susceptibility. 


Sanctioned venue disruption can range from simply renting the 


facility/space in question to making it permanently uninhabitable in 
extreme cases. Venue disruption has proven effective in preventing 
100% of SCP-2098 events detected before Phase 3 begins. This 
requires a minimum of resources or long-term intervention in most 
cases. All available notifications (banners, flyers, posters, 
pamphlets, videotapes, etc.) of an SCP-2098 event are to be 
collected following its conclusion regardless of its success or failure. 


Description: SCP-2098 is most easily understood as a "virulent 
holiday". SCP-2098 is the cumulative reference for a series of 
anomalous phenomena and behaviors which overwrite existing 
human perception of a calendar date (or dates) with the belief that 
the date in question is a holiday designated "Saint Simon's Day”. In 
practice, SCP-2098 behaves in a manner roughly analogous to a 
pathogen, infecting human perception of the calendar date through 
self-replicating SCP-2098 events. These events alter human 
perception of the date to varying degrees in order to sustain existing 
perceptive anomalies and/or propagate further events. It is theorized 
that without intervention, 100% of the human population would 
perceive and "celebrate" Saint Simon's Day every calendar day 
within twenty-six (26) years, resulting in an XB-Class Perceptive 
Restructuring Scenario. 


To date, all communities experiencing an SCP-2098 event have 
been located in American-held states and territories which do not 
observe Daylight Savings Time, and have been in existence as 
distinct civic entities no earlier than January 1st, 1969. Communities 
meeting these criteria are designated Prime Susceptibility 
Communities. There is currently no evidence of an SCP-2098 event 
occurring prior to 1969, though research is ongoing to determine if 
the SCP-2098 effect is new and unique only to this geographic/ 
legislative region, or if it exists/nas existed with differing parameters 
elsewhere. Though events have thus far only taken place in this 
limited range, SCP-2098-Red vectors can easily transmit infection to 
communities and individuals outside this zone. Due to Foundation 
intervention, no documented infection has yet taken root outside of a 
Prime Susceptibility Community. 


SCP-2098 phenomena proceed along a currently predictable 
course: 


Phase 1 - SCP-2098 will begin to manifest in a target community 
through altered signage/advertising for a local gathering. This will 
invariably include some iteration of the phrase "Saint Simon”. 
Targeted events are always community-wide in scope with no formal 
invitation required (such as a race, festival, fair, or parade). 
SCP-2098 will progressively co-opt such a community event over 
the course of two to thirty days (see list of previous instances). 


At this phase, only a single media outlet may be affected, and the 
naming convention may not yet be consistent or logical. 


+ Example of Phase 1 Activity 


In event 2098-6, flyers for the Chino Valley, Arizona 
Firemen's Association Pancake Breakfast were affected 
12 days before the event date to read alternatively: 
"Saint Simon's Day Oracular Catechesis", "Saint Simon's 
Day Bisected Youth Vigil", and "Feast of Saint Simon's 
Timorous Indulgence". 


The words "Saint Simon" in promotional materials are 
thus far the only commonalities between announcements 
for SCP-2098 events at this phase. Containment teams 
are to verify a shift to Phase 2 before attempting any 
form of intervention as targeted venues and event types 
have shifted randomly during Phase 1, leading to 
confusion and loss of containment. There is currently no 
reliable protocol for effective neutralization of an 
SCP-2098 event during Phase 1. 


Phase 2 - 48 hours before the event date, all promotional materials 
for the event will alter to include a consistent iteration of "Saint 
Simon" in their title. In addition, the venue will be consistent across 
these materials, and they will specify a duration of 12pm to 4pm 
without exception. Widespread perceptive anomalies will first 
manifest in the affected community during Phase 2, with 100% of 
residents possessing accurate but unsourced knowledge of the 
event date, duration, venue, and name. There appears to be no 
accompanying compulsion to attend the event despite this 
knowledge. Unless the venue is rendered unavailable, the 
scheduled community gathering will take place in accordance with 


the time and date indicated on the SCP-2098-altered media. Venue 
disruption is the only currently proven means of preventing an 
SCP-2098 event. 


+ Example of Phase 2 Activity 


In event 2098-7, seven out of fifteen community 
members interviewed reported to have seen anomalous 
promotional materials during Phase 1, but could not 
reliably say what the advertised event constituted or 
when it was. 48 hours before the consistently advertised 
Phase 2 event date, 100% of interviewees confirmed the 
date, venue, time, and nature of the event as "The Saint 
Simon's Day Flensing Cursillo. Sunday from 12-4." 
Interviewees reported no confusion regarding this name. 
Promotional materials for the event posted through 
various media outlets consistently designated the event 
as "The Saint Simon's Day Flensing Cursillo" to take 
place on Sunday, 10/21/1991, from 12pm to 4pm at the 
local Vista del Montana park. Note that despite the 
anomalous name change, physical preparations for this 
event proceeded normally—the co-opted event was a 
chili cookoff. 


Phase 3 - At 12:01:01 PM on the confirmed date, an SCP-2098 
event will enter Phase 3. All persons within the designated 
community event boundaries will cease voluntary movement for 
precisely sixteen minutes and sixteen seconds (ending 12:17:17 PM 
local time). Non-human life is not affected by SCP-2098 events. If 
observed at a range closer than 15 meters during this time, the 
observer will enter the event boundaries and be affected 
accordingly. 


Although close-range medical tests are not possible, viewing from 
minimum safe distance indicates that 2098-affected individuals 
continue to respirate and blink normally for the duration of the stasis. 
Mild to moderate physical interaction from a non-human entity or 
outside force will break this stasis, causing the affected individual(s) 
to fall prone and collapse into a fully unconscious state that will last 
until the cessation of the event at 12:17:17 PM local time. 


Phase 4 - At 12:17:17 PM local time, the event enters Phase 4. All 
affected individuals will leave stasis (including those who may have 
been rendered unconscious and prone due to outside forces) and 
return to their homes by whatever means they arrived at the venue. 
While affected individuals will not violently resist attempts to interfere 
with their return to their homes, should one individual affected by 
SCP-2098 be detained, the remaining affected subjects will come to 
their aid and attempt to remove whatever persons or obstacles are 
preventing the individual from returning to their home. 


+ Example of Phase 4 Activity 


In event 2098-4, an attempt was made to quarantine the 
entire venue (a local veteran's meeting hall) to observe 
affected subjects. Despite door barricades and non-lethal 
deterrents, the two hundred and sixty-four (264) affected 
subjects would or could not respond to questioning and 
took any opportunity available to attempt to exit the 
premises and return to their residences, even if this 
resulted in their injury. After barricades were removed 
and the containment team allowed the affected 
individuals to leave, none of those later interviewed 
recalled their detention or anything other than a pleasant 
day at the "53rd Annual Saint Simon's Day Petrichoric 
Exhortation". Note that the affected community had been 
in existence for less than three years, and the physically 
prepared event was a silent auction for a local charity. 


In event 2098-5, the entire affected populace was 
quarantined under the guise of a Valley Fever outbreak. 
The Pyrrhus protocol was authorized and its use 
effectively neutralized the spread of the localized 
SCP-2098 infection. After Ethics Committee review, this 
containment method has been disallowed. 


Phase 5 - The final phase of an SCP-2098 event transitions the 
affected populace into two distinct vector classes (Green and Red) 
within 6 hours of return to their homes. If prevented from returning to 
their homes, vector classes manifest within 1-2 hours, making 
community inventory and maintenance far more practical if the 
populace is permitted to return to their homes during Phase 4. This 


is current SOP for non-disrupted events. 
+ Green-Vector Information 


Individuals designated SCP-2098-Green (appended with 
specific event #) will consider the date of their SCP-2098 
exposure event to be "Saint Simon's Day". This affects 
both past recollections of the date as well as future 
dates. For instance, 2098-Green-6 individuals consider 
all past and future Octobers the 21st to be "Saint 
Simon's Day". 


SCP-2098-Green vectors recall their exposure event 
date to have proceeded normally; they recall a full 4-5 
hours of specific conversations and activities on their 
exposure date despite having experienced only sixteen 
minutes and sixteen seconds of linear time. Amnestic 
therapy has been successful in eliminating these 
fabricated memories, but the assertion that all past and 
future anniversaries of the event date are "Saint Simon's 
Day" remains with affected subjects. When presented 
with conflicting information regarding the existence of 
such a holiday, 2098-Green vectors express mild 
confusion, but retain their conviction regarding the 
anomalous date and will continue to act accordingly on 
subsequent anniversaries of their exposure date. 


Children and (in two verified cases) grandchildren of 
2098-Green vectors will refer to their parent's original 
exposure date as "Saint Simon's Day" upon reaching 
approximately three years of age. These individuals are 
also classed as SCP-2098-Green vectors and share their 
parent's anomalous experience of the original exposure 
date despite the fact they were not yet born—they are 
able to recall the same fabricated conversations and 
activities experienced by their parent on the initial 
exposure date with 100% accuracy. 


Long-term monitoring has not established any further 
behavioral or perceptual disturbances in 2098-Green 
subjects or established a limit to how many generations it 


unable to play a section of the recording. This "freeze" lasts for a set 
duration, approximately 1 times the amount of time skipped. Those 
affected do not perceive the freeze and will continue as they were 
before it began unless outside stimulus is introduced to alert them to 
the gap in time. During the freeze, all motion in the affected area 
stops completely: objects thrown or falling will remain in mid-air, 
individuals do not breathe or blink, and even chemical reactions 
such as fire will simply pause in a manner visually similar to pausing 
a movie. 


During this time, any individual outside the range of effect, hereby 
known as an observer, may enter the area and interact with affected 
objects. Any object or individual willfully contacted (either directly or 
via another object) by an observer will resume normal behavior: that 
is, objects will fall, individuals will begin moving, breathing, and 
thinking, and chemical reactions will resume. All others remain 
frozen as before until either touched by an observer or the effect 
ends. This "unfreezing" effect appears to be entirely subjective; only 
objects that the observer touches or influences intentionally will 
resume normal activity. Common phenomena such as rain and wind 
will not have any effect on the area and will behave as though all 
objects and individuals in the affected area are rigid and non- 
absorbent. 


Instances of SCP-235 and the devices playing them cannot be 
interacted with during a freeze. All forces, up to and including plastic 
explosives, have proven unable to affect either device while in this 
state. 


Neither copies nor recordings of SCP-235 exhibit any of the 
anomalous effects displayed by SCP-235. It is believed that the 
effects of SCP-235 are caused by an anomaly specific to the 
records themselves and is not attributable to the contents of the 
records. 


SCP-235-1 was found in 194 . It was discovered atop a record 
player, found at the scene of the murder of [REDACTED], who was 
at the time president of the [REDACTED] Corporation. SCP-235-2 
was found still spinning at a wedding between [DATA EXPUNGED]. 
Both bride and groom were found murdered by single gunshot 
wounds to the head with no witnesses, despite both individuals 


may persist within a family line. 
+ Red-Vector Information 


SCP-2098-Red vectors are generated when an 
SCP-2098 event takes place on the affected subject's 
birthday. Current research indicates that 2098-Red 
vectors exhibit the following characteristics across all 
affected communities, though observation is limited and 
difficult pending updated contact procedures: 


- SCP-2098-Red instances are constantly active, highly 
virulent vectors for SCP-2098 perceptive infection. If they 
are heard speaking by unaffected individuals at a range 
of closer than 15 meters for longer than approximately 
120 seconds, such individuals will become 2098-Green 
instances; substituting the date of exposure with "Saint 
Simon's Day" and attendant phenomena. Audio/visual 
recordings of 2098-Red vectors do not retain this effect. 


- SCP-2098-Red vectors can selectively omit existing 
holidays from widespread perception through extended 
public speaking. If allowed to speak for greater than a 
1200-second threshold, any individuals (affected or 
unaffected) capable of hearing and understanding the 
2098-Red vector will begin to replace knowledge of 
existing, culturally established holidays with the 
fabricated information regarding "Saint Simon's Day" 
provided by the 2098-Red instance. Subjects affected by 
this aspect of SCP-2098-Red vectors can identify 
multiple dates as "Saint Simon's Day" concurrently 
without cognitive dissonance. 


- SCP-2098-Red vectors will experience rapid atrophy of 
their memories and personality over the 36-hour period 
following their initial exposure event. They retain no 
memory of their previous identity at 48 hours. After this 
time, the 2098-Red vector will consider themselves to be 
the eponymous "Saint Simon", and work exhaustively to 
make themselves visible and heard by as many people 
as possible. No biographical information regarding this 


identity has been established as 2098-Red instances 
proselytize incoherently almost constantly, and seem 
unaware of questions directed towards them. Amnestic 
therapy has not proven effective in restoring any 
functional memory within SCP-2098-Red vectors.

+ Record 2098-966.3 - 
Official Vatican Inquiry and Concurrent Research 


On 4/17/1974, Foundation researchers requested access 
to the Vatican library records pertaining to the biblical/ 
historical Saint Simon. These records were not made 
available until the 1983 Code of Canon Law revision was 
in place, which contained additional, unpublished Vatican 
provisions and guidelines for requests of this nature. 
After thorough examination of the released documents, 
no correlation was drawn between the biblical/historical 
personage of Saint Simon with any of the anomalous 
effects in question. However, records of heretical 
activities and subcultures affiliated with Saint Simon 
revealed a brief entry for the "Commune of Simon 
Eternal" founded by one Emmett Parsons of Tucson, 
Arizona circa 1968. Church records indicate that the 
group represented a confluence of drug culture and 
elementary hagiography, but a cursory investigation 
revealed little of interest to ecumenical authorities. 


Emmett Parsons preached that his followers could 
"renounce time as Simon renounced gold" through the 
ritualized use of various psychedelics and the concurrent 
destruction of timepieces. Followers could therefore "live 
each day as a Saint". Further behaviors are standard for 
cult activity, emphasizing the commodification of women 
and unswerving loyalty to the founder. 


Parsons appears again in a 1969 report of his murder at 
the hands of one of his 16 "brides", Abigail Strough. This 
has led research to shift from Parsons to Strough. 

Notably, Abigail Strough received no prison sentence for 


the murder of Emmett Parsons, and Event 2098-1 
commenced within one week of her release from 
custody. 


+ Addendum 2098-1072.4 - Action reports - 
PSC-2098 Team Bravo 


Following Event 2098-17 in 2009, PSC-2098 Team 
Bravo re-opened investigation into Strough after learning 
she retains the deed to commune lands to this day under 
the "Deacon's Advisory Partnership" non-profit 
organization. Repeated calls to the organization's phone 
number return a voicemail message stating staff is out of 
the office in observance of Saint Simon's Day. Upgraded 
observation of site approved 9/21/2010. No confirmed 
sightings of Strough documented at this time. 


As of disrupted 2098 event 15, naming conventions for 
co-opted events have altered from the standard 
nonsensical combinations of ritualized behavior and 
Catholic terminology. Analytics staff report the following 
pattern in recently-disrupted event names: 


Event 2098-15: "Saint Simon's Day Ether Frequency 
Dichotomy" 

Event 2098-16: "Saint Simon's Procession of Shortest 
Waves" 

Event 2098-17: "Saint Simon's Cathode Intercession" 
Event 2098-18: "Saint Simon's Communion of the 
Wavelengths" 

Event 2098-19: "Saint Simon's Etheric Voice 
Triumphant" 


Event 2098-19, though successfully disrupted, was 
followed by the broadcast launch of a Tucson, Arizona 
public access television program entitled "Sixty Seconds 
to Freedom" at 12:01:01pm the day following Event 
2098-19's disruption. Broadcast review indicates a 62% 
keyphrase match from previously collected 2098-Red 
statements. Broadcast tapes secured and both 
production staff and talent are held at Site-23 undergoing 


processing and exposure tests. The Deacon's Advisory 
Partnership website was updated to include a legal 
defense fund drive 48 hours following the detention of 
"Sixty Seconds to Freedom" staff and talent, though no 
explicit link between the two incidents is advertised 
through the site.

SCP-2099: Brain in a Jar 


Item #: SCP-2099 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Objects composing SCP-2099 
are kept in place at the recovery site. All communications 
connections (phone lines, LAN, etc.) have been severed. All 
wireless devices have been found and destroyed. See Addendum 
2099-4 


The warehouse above the recovery site is currently owned and 
operated by Smith-Campbell Publishing LLC., a front that distributes 
disinformation material. Any instances of SCP-2099-B taken off-site 
are to be disguised as shipments of printed materials. 


The entrance to the recovery site is protected by a steel door that 
requires personnel on both sides to open. It will be kept closed 
whenever not in use. 


Personnel will monitor all active peripherals under the control of 
SCP-2099-A. Any peripherals beyond those permitted are to be 
reported at once and destroyed. 


Description: SCP-2099 is the brain of Jeremy Valdez and all 
associated machinery and equipment contained in place at the 
recovery location. 


SCP-2099 was found under a derelict warehouse in Detroit, 
Michigan, in 2003 after urban explorers posted pictures online. The 
original account was deleted and amnestics administered, but some 
images of SCP-2099 still exist online, with different contexts given. 
This is considered to be a low risk to containment. 


The recovery site is a series of thirteen underground structures 
ranging from 3 meters x 3 meters x 2 meters to 30 meters x 20 


meters x 10 meters. Some act as storage units containing shelves 
holding thousands of mechanical and electronic devices and parts. 
Others are largely open, intended for use in testing. One contains 
mostly heavy machinery believed to have been used in excavating 
the recovery site. Every room has hundreds to thousands of pieces 
of paper, on which notes are written. These are in a fragmentary 
short-hand. A row of numbers and letters at the top of each sheet 
appears to act as a reference to the contents of each sheet, though 
the precise meaning has not been decoded. 


Valdez's brain, hereafter referred to as SCP-2099-A, is kept in a jar 
filled with water mixed with electrolytes, sugars, green food coloring, 
and artificial flavoring. How this keeps SCP-2099-A alive, or if it 
even plays any role beyond aesthetic, is unknown at this time. 
SCP-2099-A has been largely cooperative with Foundation 
personnel, although its answers have been of limited usefulness. 


Instances of SCP-2099-B are devices built by SCP-2099-A, both 
before and after its present condition. These machines are built from 
a number of materials. Virtually all of them appear to be highly 
technologically advanced, but should not function based on current 
understanding of science (based on power draws, material 
limitations, or violations of constants such as the speed of light). 
Several are referred to as "peripherals," devices directly under the 
control of SCP-2099-A. These are used by SCP-2099-A to interact 
with its environment. Most of these were destroyed during recovery. 
Five are currently active, contingent on SCP-2099-A's continued 
cooperation. These range from mechanical hands to a humanoid 
robot dressed as a butler. These are used primarily to find and bring 
notes to SCP-2099-A. 


Examples of SCP-2099-B 


¢ Pistol that fires out high-intensity X-rays. It is powered by two 
AA batteries and focused by a common quariz crystal. 

¢ Six-meter-tall humanoid robot made primarily of chrome and 
steel. Tensile strength of materials involved should not be 
capable of supporting its weight. 

« Acannon that fires sabots that release human-sized robots 
armed with swords and metal nunchakus. Notably, the volume 
of the sabots is not large enough to fit the robots. 


* Abin labeled "cyborg parts." Inside were a number of artificial 
limbs, sensory organs, and other body parts. None of them 
have been "attached," so it is unknown whether or not they 
would be functional. No means of interfacing with a nervous 
system could be found on any of these parts. 

* A large vehicle with a mounted drill and claws, capable of 
tunneling through solid rock and earth. Material so displaced 
disappears, leaving empty tunnels. 

¢ A rocket-based spacecraft. Sediment stuck to the skids 

matches samples taken from the Moon. There is no plausible 

means by which it could have exited the recovery site. 

A force field generator. It cannot be examined at this time, as 

SCP-2099-A has forgotten how to disengage the device. 

* A large generator with "anti-gravity" written on the side. Anti 
has been crossed out in red paint. When engaged, all nearby 
objects weigh twice what they normally would in Earth gravity. 

« Acomputer system running an apparently complete simulation 
(down to individual grains of sand) of an alien solar system. It 
performs with two gigabytes of available disk space. 

¢ 713 different laser guns (in a bin labeled "713 different laser 
guns"). 


Electricity is supplied via a number of interconnected powerstrips. 
Following the powerstrips ultimately leads to a final power strip 
plugged into itself. Unplugging it removes power from the entire 
facility. 


Interview Log SCP-2099-A-1 

Dr. : "Who are you?" 

SCP-2099-A: "| am the Profound Professor V, the genius 
who invented the Quantum Pistol, the Rocket to 
Sagittarius, the Window to Other Worlds. My name is 
Jeremy Valdez. Jeremy, there was another Jeremy | met 
once, well, lots, but the one stuck in my mind. Clever 
man, a salesman. Can't trust them an inch if you give 
them a mile, but that wasn't me." 

Dr. : "How did you build this facility?" 

SCP-2099-A: "Oh, dug it all out. Tricky bit was the 
supports. Used solid Valdezium to hold it up. That's my 
own invention. Name trademarked, patent pending, 


unless | forgot to send the application." 

Dr. : "How do your inventions work?" 

SCP-2099-A: "I'm a genius. Have | mentioned that? I'm 
sure | have. It's in my notes, yes. Yes, you've read them, 
haven't you? | left them simply everywhere. You can't 
miss them." 

Dr. : "When did you start inventing things?" 
SCP-2099-A: "Let's see, let's see. Was it ninety-three? 
Ninety-four? I'd forget my head if | didn't keep it carefully 
labeled. In the closet, no, wait, that's not the note | was 
looking for. Ah, here, history. Good heavens, ninety-one. 
Has it been that long? Wait, how long has it been? 
What's the date? Never mind. Anyway, | started having 
ideas one day. Just ideas, pouring in from everywhere. 
Can hardly look at a shovel without getting an idea for a 
digging machine, or a computer without seeing if it 
dreams of sheep. Oh, | could use lasers for a drill, taking 
note. I'd always been a tinkerer, ever since | was a boy. 
Had model rockets and ray guns, and all sorts of toys 
like that. Get them from stores or mail order or wherever 
| could." 

As SCP-2099-A spoke, peripherals brought notes to its 
tank, and wrote down further notes, apparently based on 
the conversation. 

Dr. : "How is this facility powered?" 

SCP-2099-A: "Oh, you just plug things in. Simple as 
anything. Ultimately draws from the aether. They say 
there's no such thing, but you just have to know where to 
look. It's under all that quantum stuff. Or was it in the 
imaginary numbers? Somewhere like that. I'd have to 
look at my notes." 

Dr. : "We've had difficulties in reading your notes." 
SCP-2099-A: "Oh, well, that's easy enough, you just 
need to know how things are broken out. There's a note 
about that somewhere." 

Dr. : "Your notes seem... incomplete." 
SCP-2099-A: "Well, that's a pity. | tried to keep it all 
together, but things get put here and there. Can't doa 
thing without my notes. Let me check my notes. Hmm. 
Yes, can't do a thing without them. Says it right here. 


You can't argue with that. It's in my notes." 


Interview Log SCP-2099-A-7 

Dr. : "How were you able to afford all of the 
materials you used in your inventions?" 

SCP-2099-A: "Oh, a bit of this, a bit of that. | make 
things for people. Sometimes for sale, sometimes barter. 
Done some honest work before | got to that point, of 
course. Worked for a pro lab, back in the day, and did 
R&D for a manufacturing plant. Made smoke alarms or 
toys or somesuch. Hard keeping it all straight these 
days." 

Dr. : "Do you have any outstanding orders?" 
SCP-2099-A: "Not at the moment, no, but there's always 
new business just around the corner. People need things 
built. Sound guns, hypnosis lenses, rocket skis. Night 
vision goggles that work even when there's no light 
whatsoever. A little pedestrian, but it pays the bills. 
Haven't heard much lately, but I'm sure they'll be in touch 
soon." 


Interview Log SCP-2099-A-19 

Dr. : "Are you aware of your current condition?" 
SCP-2099-A: "What, brilliant? Handsome? Brain in a 
jar? Hadn't escaped my notice." 

Dr. : "How are you still alive?" 

SCP-2099-A: "Good diet and exercise. Healthy living. 
Oh, and the electrolytes. It's in my notes somewhere, the 
whole process. Never will look at mashed potatoes the 
same way, I'll tell you that." 

Dr. :"Do any of your family or friends know about 
your condition?" 

SCP-2099-A: "No, not really. Family was never close, 
and most of my friends are online these days. On the 
internet, nobody knows you're a brain in a jar. Or a cat, 
or whatever. You've heard the joke, I'm sure." 

Dr. : "How did it happen?" 

SCP-2099-A: "You know, I'm not entirely sure anymore. | 
don't think | was dying or anything. No, my body's still 
perfectly viable, if | could remember where | put it all. 


Can't remember why | did it, or quite when. I'm sure it 
seemed like a good idea at the time. Usually does. 
Somehow didn't work out quite how | thought, | don't 
think. Or maybe it did. Anyway, | get by."

Addendum 2099-1: Since recovery, a number of SCP-2099-B 
objects have been discovered in the hands of others. Whether these 
are objects previously made and sold by SCP-2099-A, or if there is 
another source, has not been established to any degree of certainty. 


Addendum 2099-2: SCP-2099-A has at times made references to 
locations where it has operated or used as trading points when 


being discovered dead on the dance floor at the reception. 
SCP-235-3 was found following reports of a "time traveling tune", at 
the time in the hands of several college students (who were 
administered Class B amnestics and released). SCP-235-4 was 
discovered first hand by Foundation agents investigating ; 
believed to be a member of [REDACTED]. Agents discovered him 
dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. On his desk was 
SCP-235-4, with a note reading, "This one has served us well but is 
nearly full. You Know what to do." 


Addendum 235-001: An additional anomalous property was 
discovered while Dr. was attempting to discern the properties of 
SCP-235's effect. Dr. ordered a D-class under the influence of 
SCP-235 shot and killed from a distance. While this in and of itself 
produced little useful data, it was noted on the next play-through that 
the record skipped in a location where it had previously played 
smoothly. Further testing confirmed that each time an individual dies 
while affected by SCP-235, the instance that produced the effect is 
damaged slightly, producing another section of the song that is likely 
to skip. Multiple deaths during a single skip appear to correlate with 
the new skip being longer in duration, but a consistent pattern has 
not emerged. 


« SCP-234 | SCP-235 | SCP-236 » 


dealing in examples of SCP-2099-B. See SCP-2099 Recovery Logs 
for further information. 


Addendum 2099-4: SCP-2099-A made a reference to the 
Shenzhou 9 mission in 2012. When asked how it learned of this, it 
revealed an active internet connection via "V-Wave Universal 
Ansible." When asked where the device was located, it could only 
remember that it was somewhere on the shelves, and suggested it 
be found by Valdez Wave detection. To date, the device still has not 
been found. Analysis of internet accounts now known to be 
associated with SCP-2099-A have shown no revelation of protected 
information. However, recovery and dismantling of this device is to 
be considered a priority objective for staff assigned to SCP-2099. 


Addendum 2099-5: While SCP-2099-A's "ansible" remains hidden, 
it can be disrupted via bursts of microwave radiation. However, this 
also renders SCP-2099-A incapable of speech, and may interfere 
with its life support. Given that it is currently the only method of 
recovering SCP-2099-B instances outside of Foundation control, this 
will only be used in emergency situations. 


+ SCP-2099 Recovery Logs 


Location: Former home previously owned by 
SCP-2099-A according to tax records. 

Prompting Statement from SCP-2099-A: "Oh, that old 
place. Yes, very nice neighborhood, but the HOA had 
ridiculous rules about spaceships. And they didn't allow 
me to have any dinosaurs. What kind of totalitarian 
wasteland doesn't allow dinosaurs? Especially robot 
ones. But the park was nice. | used to feed pigeons. | 
think | may have left some things there, up in the attic 
crawlspace. Might still be there." 

Recovery: While the current owners were on vacation in 
Hawaii, recovery agents searched the home, eventually 
finding an old notebook covered in scribbles of rocket 
ships and space aliens. 

Response: "Oh, my drawings! | used to scribble those 
down in school. Drove my teachers crazy, but what could 
they say? Straight A student. Got my report cards 
somewhere. On the shelves, most likely. I'll check my 


notes." 


Location: Alley in Boston, Massachusetts. 

Prompting Statement from SCP-2099-A: "I certainly 
hope MA got her package. | left it in the usual place right 
when it was done, but | never heard back from her. 
Maybe you gentlemen could take a look, since I'm short 
a couple of legs at the moment." 

Recovery: The field team went to the location described, 
though it was assessed that they would be unlikely to 
find anything after the intervening time. However, shortly 
after beginning their search, they were attacked by a Cl 
field team, which had apparently set up a watch for 
future drop-offs in the location. The Cl team was 
apparently not expecting armed resistance, and 
Foundation casualties were kept to a minimum. Several 
enemy combatants were detained, and two weaponized 
anomalies secured. 

Response: "Those people, eh? I've had some run-ins 
with them before. Nasty customers. Sold them one or 
two things, and then they tried to get all my toys without 
paying for them. Didn't know they were watching Boston. 
Well, I'm glad you dealt with them. Hopefully they didn't 
give MA any trouble." 


Location: Soup kitchen in Seattle, Washington, where 
reports of unusually sized foodstuffs had been reported. 
Prompting Statement from SCP-2099-A: None. 
Recovery: The field team secured the location, finding a 
large booth labeled "V-Ray Enlarger," which employees 
had been using to increase portions of food handed out 
to the local homeless. Interviewed employees stated it 
had been brought in by operatives of the Manna 
Charitable Foundation two weeks earlier. 

Response: "Oh, the enlarger. | think | remember that 
one. Did | sell it to them? Well, | must have. They 
probably just got around to using it now. | haven't had 
much business with them in a while." 


Location: Former missile silo in southern Idaho. 


Records indicate that it was never sold by the US 
government. 

Prompting Statement from SCP-2099-A: "Oh, | spent 
some time in the midwest. | was... is there a classier 
word than squatting? One moment. Ah, here we go. 
Habitating in one of those old missile silos. They weren't 
using it, so | just moved in, turned on the lights. More of 
a summer home than anything. | don't think | took the 
trash out before | left. Would you gents be so kind?" 
Recovery: The field team found the silo sealed with 
several combination locks, which were opened with 
codes provided by SCP-2099-A. Inside were three 
dessicated human bodies, a taxidermied Mammut 
americanum, and a gorilla in some form of suspended 
animation. DNA testing showed that the human bodies 
all belonged to SCP-2099-A. A partial address and key 
were found at the bottom of a desk drawer. 

Response: "Oh, well, | was going through a cloning 
phase. Too much Jurassic Park, not enough meeting 
girls. Though the mosquito trick doesn't work. If you get 
anything, you just get mosquitoes." Notably, address and 
key were not brought to SCP-2099-A's attention. 


Location: Warehouse in Puebla, Mexico, having been 
traced to a dark-net site titled V2 Enterprises. Several 
products were determined to have anomalous properties, 
similar to instances of SCP-2099-B. 

Prompting Statement from SCP-2099-A: None. 
Recovery: Workers in the warehouse were in the 
process of moving all inventory through a device that 
was apparently capable of teleportation or disintegration. 
Teleportation assessed to be more likely, based on the 
willingness of the workers to pass through it rather than 
face capture. Device self-destructed before a thorough 
analysis could be made. Several apparent instances of 
SCP-2099-B were still found in the warehouse. A 
brochure bearing the likeness of a Hispanic man ina 
labcoat promised "invenciones futuristas increibles del 
Profesor V." Other locations traced to V2 Enterprises 
were found empty. 


Response: "Have | been to Mexico recently? Let me 
see, let me see, no, not since my grandmother died. 
Clearly, we're dealing with an imposter. Deal only with 
the original Professor V, accept no imitations or 
substitutions." 


Location: Junkyard in Boise, Idaho. 

Prompting Statement from SCP-2099-A: "| did visit 
one of my customers once. In lowa, | think. Wait, let me 
check my notes. | tell a lie, it was actually Idaho. | always 
get them confused. Would you like to meet her? I'm sure 
she'd be glad of the company." 

Recovery: The field team entered after hours, eventually 
finding a structure built under a pile of old automobiles. 
Inside was an apparent residence which did not appear 
to have been disturbed for some time. Books of star 
charts, astronomy texts, and several works known to 
have been linked to the Serpent's Hand were found 
inside. Also inside was an example of SCP-2099-B, 
labeled Valdeport XT. It was not functional at the time of 
recovery. 

Response: "Not there anymore? Well, hopefully she got 
where she was going. Or somewhere, anyway. We all 
want to be somewhere, don't we? | know | do." 


Location: Office in a business park in London. 
Fourteenth attempted match on partial address found in 
third location. 

Prompting Statement from SCP-2099-A: None. 
Recovery: The field team found a surgery suite, unused 
since at least the late eighties. Several files were found 
describing medical experiments carried out. Two of the 
final entries describe the autopsies of a pair of American 
transfer students with the initials JV, both of whose 
descriptions match Jeremy Valdez. All files and reports 
are signed EM. 

Response: "Sorry, doesn't ring a bell. | mean, I'm not 
exactly myself anymore, but I'm hardly dead. I'm sure I'd 
know it if | were. I'd have made a note."

Articles 2100-2199 


SCP-2100: Tripwire 


Item #: SCP-2100 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Site was built above 
SCP-2100, and is located in Antarctica at the Earth's Southern Pole. 
SCP-2100 is publicly concealed as the IceCube Neutrino 
Observatory; a cover-up organization has been established through 
the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 


Addendum-2100-1: Foundation cover-up of Event 2100-Omega is 
ongoing. Efforts are underway to retroactively alter astronomical 
maps, to administer appropriate amnesiacs as necessary, and to 
monitor and subdue the publishing of any material regarding the 
effects of Event 2100-Omega. 


Site is to remain operational indefinitely with standard 
maintenance and guard staff to maintain the integrity and secrecy of 
SCP-2100 components. 


Description: SCP-2100 is a large subterranean complex, believed 
extraterrestrial in origin. SCP-2100 extends approximately 7,390m 
below ground with 2,718 levels, and has an approximate floor area 
of 738,905,600 sq meters. Geological analysis of the surrounding 
rock indicates that SCP-2100 was constructed 1.253 billion years 
ago (+ 0.002 BY) in its current position. Small-scale fissures indicate 
that the Antarctic Tectonic plate has been partially fractured as a 
result of sliding around SCP-2100. 


Research in 196 confirmed that SCP-2100 perpetually broadcasts a 
dense stream of neutrinos toward the center of the Earth, which is 
then redirected at Earth's core through unknown means. Regardless 
of Earth's relative position and orientation, this beam maintains 
focus toward a fixed coordinate point located within the Center 
Bulge of the Milky Way Galaxy. 


SCP-2100 has been fully mapped, with three primary features 
designated SCP-2100-1 through -3. 2100-1 is an area comprising 
parts of floors 25 through 29 and contains a concentration of display 
readouts and input controls. Conduits throughout the entire complex 
join at junction relays and all eventually terminate at 2100-1, 
indicating that it is the control center for the entire complex. Displays 
in 2100-1 are alert and active, and appear to perpetually display real 
time information using a combination of graphics and an 
undecipherable alien language. This information is largely 
meaningless without knowledge of the systems or the language. An 
attempt is underway to interact with 2100-1 in an effort to learn 
more. (See Document 2100-114) Displays in 2100-1 are dead and 
unresponsive. 


2100-2 is an area comprising parts of the lowest 271 levels, and is 

the source of the neutrino transmission beam. It is believed to hold 

an immense focusing mechanism which directs neutrinos produced 
by 2100-3 into a beam 271 m in diameter, with an average neutrino 
density of 27 quadrillion neutrinos per sq cm. 


2100-3 is a perfectly spherical section comprising the central 
sections of levels 1223-1495. There are several hundred shuttered 
transparent viewing apertures located along the equatorial belt of 
2100-3. When unshuttered, these apertures allow limited filtered 
wavelengths of visible light to pass through. Visual indications show 
that 2100-3 houses what appears to be a miniature neutron star, 
designated 2100-4. 2100-4 is an estimated 400 m in diameter with a 
rotational period of 0.5 ms. Gravimetric and electromagnetic 
readings do not pick up any usual activity near the vicinity of 2100-4; 
either 2100-4 does not produce gravitational and electromagnetic 
fields, or 2100-3 effectively blocks them. 


In addition to the primary faculties, SCP-2100 also houses a small 
section believed to be abandoned alien living quarters, several large 
cavernous rooms of unknown purpose, and approximately 2.71 
billion meters of conduit connecting 2100-1, 2100-2, and 2100-3. 


Document 2100-114: Partial transcript of Video Log 2100- 
Epsilon 


Foreword: On 10/07/196 , after years of studying the alien 
language, the control displays, and conduit maps, the first attempt 
was made to interact with SCP-2100-1 control consoles. 54 
researchers are present, as well as Site Lead Researcher Dr. 

P  .27 researchers are seated in front of control stations, while Dr. 
P gives instructions. Displays are active. 


<Commence Log> 
00:00:01 - Dr. P _ is talking to various aides. 


00:00:12 -Dr.P — : Alright, let us begin. Station Theta, 
hit control eight dash one two, just like we rehearsed. 


00:00:19 - Display changes from a purely "text" readout 
to a graphical readout, dominated by a large spinning 
sphere. 


00:00:34 -Dr.P  : Good. Station Lambda, please turn 
dial one dash twelve counterclockwise by ten degrees. 
Okay, fifteen degrees. Twenty. Twenty five. Twenty 
eight? 


00:00:46 - Lambda Controller: | can't turn it any more, 
that's as far as it goes. 


00:00:50 - Dr. P =: Confirm dial maximum at 
approximately 27.1 degrees? 


00:00:56 - Lambda Controller: Confirmed. 
00:00:58 - Dr.P =: As expected. 
00:01:04 - Dr.P is speaking into his radio headset. 


00:01:04-Dr.P : Team Sigma, confirm the 
anticipated possible shift in dash-four, over? Negative? 
Confirmed, over. 


00:01:12-Dr.P — : Alright, team, looks like we're in 
simulation mode, just as we hoped. We'll proceed with 
test two-thousand-three-oh. 


00:01:15-Dr.P : Station Mu, hit control three dash 
one. Yes, the larger oval. 


[LOG REDACTED FOR BREVITY. SEE DOCUMENT 
2100-117 FOR FULL LOG.] 


04:05:14 - Dr.P is speaking into his radio headset. 


04:05:14-Dr.P_ : Yes, sir, we believe we've got the 
basics down. We can predictably adjust the rotational 
period, the luminosity, the fusion rate, the temperature, 
even the graviton output. No, we haven't reliably 
modified the magnetic flux field, but we did see non- 
negligible deviations during test seven-seven, over. Yes, 
we are still confident that console alpha will apply 
changes real-time, over. Confirmed. Over. Absolutely. 
Over and out. 


04:08:22 -Dr.P : Okay, team, return to your stations, 
we are going to recreate test two-thousand-four-two. 


[LOG REDACTED FOR BREVITY. SEE DOCUMENT 
2100-117 FOR FULL LOG.] 


04:25:33 - Dr.P is speaking into his radio headset. 


04:25:33 -Dr.P : Team Sigma, be prepared to 
confirm luminosity adjustment, remember, we are 
expecting no more than a point oh-oh-one percent 
change, over. 


04:25:47 -Dr.P =: Okay, Alpha, on my mark | want you

SCP-236: Mimic "Crabs" 


Item #: SCP-236 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Any and all materials leaving 
the containment area are to be scanned for any contamination by 
SCP-236. Any objects showing contamination by SCP-236 are to be 
immediately returned to the containment area and cleared of 
contamination. Personnel leaving the containment area must submit 
to a full physical examination and X-ray. 


No objects are to be left in the containment area without personnel 
present. Any objects appearing in the containment area are not to 
be touched until cleared by supervising personnel. Blast doors are to 
be opened only to allow personnel in and out of the containment 
area. 


No sudden movement or aggressive action of any kind is allowed in 
the containment area. Containment area is to be kept as dark as 
possible, with night-vision goggles recommended for all interacting 
personnel. Should traditional lighting be necessary, lights must be 
turned on remotely and a waiting period of one hour is to be 
observed before entry will be allowed. 


Description: SCP-236 appears to be a swarm of near-microscopic 
crabs. Individuals match no known form of crustacean, and 
elements of their physiology appear to point to an artificial origin 
(See Document ). SCP-236 appears to operate under a 
form of collective intelligence or “hive mind”. This intelligence 
appears to grow when individual SCP-236 are in close proximity, 
and dissipate when they are divided. 


Large swarms appear to exhibit “predatory” intelligence, and 
become significantly more aggressive than individuals. Swarms 
show aptitude with problem solving, encircling tactics, and stealth. In 


04:26:10 - Talking ceases. Everyone in the room falls 
unconscious instantly. Dr.P __, Alpha Station 
researcher, and Bravo Station researcher have 
vanished. All displays have gone black. 


04:26:25 - Medical staff rush into SCP-2100-1 and begin 
reviving the team 


04:29:14 - Entire team has been revived with no 
permanent injuries. 


<End Log> 


Frame By Frame Analysis: Below is a frame-by-frame analysis of 
Video Log 2100-Epsilon at approximately 04:26:09. Video was 
captured at 30 frames per second, with frames approximately every 
33 milliseconds. 


04:26:09:000-Dr.P is standing behind Alpha station. 
No abnormal activity present. 


04:26:09:033 - Two unknown entities now exist in the 
middle of the room. Resolution is low but entities appear 
to be floating sycamore-seed shaped distortions. There 
are several spotlights illuminating them, and while they 
seem somewhat translucent on camera, they cast large 
shadows, longer and more distorted than their shape 
would suggest. 


04:26:09:066 - The entities are now in front of separate 
display panels. The entities appear to have opened 
previously unknown access hatches and are interacting 
with the interior hardware. Researchers begin to fall limp. 


04:26:09:100 - An assortment of hardware is floating in 
the middle of the room where the entities first appeared. 
Hardware is believed to have originated from within the 
console interiors. Dr.P —_, Alpha Station researcher, and 
Bravo Station researcher are floating in a vaguely fetal 
position near the hardware. 


04:26:09:133 - The entities, the hardware, and Dr. P 
have vanished, and all display panels are shut. No 
further anomalous activity is recorded. 


Final Note: After event 2100-Epsilon, all displays appear dead. 
SCP-2100-4 returned to its original luminosity. Further attempts to 
interact with displays have proved fruitless. No further sightings or 
evidence of the anomalous entities or missing personnel have been 
reported. 


Document 2100-154: Memorandum from Dr.S__, 
Massachusetts Institute of Technology 
01/08/196 


Dr. F, 


In response to your rather unusual inquiry, let me remind you that 
relativity dictates that no signal can travel faster-than-light, not even 
massless, sterile neutrinos. While there are some well-known 
physicists exploring the possibility of faster-than-light particles, they 
are mostly crackpots well past their prime. | can think of no reason 
you would be exploring this question, beyond an exercise in fiction, 
so let me reiterate: nothing can travel faster than light. 


But, if we do throw out common sense and start idly entertaining the 
realm of fiction, you can see from my attached calculations that your 
theoretical "beam" would be traveling 27,000 light-years to its 
destination, and therefore an instantaneous transmission would 
have to reach an estimated hundred trillion times the speed of light. 
The amount of energy needed to perform your little theoretical hop 
would of course be infinite, although you can see in figure 3.2 that 
once you actually pass lightspeed, the energy requirements start to 
actually decrease the faster you go. You get slower the more energy 
you have "weighing yourself down" while losing energy speeds you 
up. If Relativity still means anything in this new theoretical universe, 
then you can see from diagram 4.1 that anyone able to travel faster 
than light would also have the ability to travel along a closed-timelike 
curve, meaning they would have the option of traveling through time 
as well as space. As to your final question regarding the resources 
necessary to construct such an apparatus... we cannot even idly 


speculate. Suffice to say it is more than every nation on Earth has at 
its disposal. 


Thank you for the donation. It was pleasant to hear from you again 
and | wish you luck in your future endeavors. 


Regards, 
Dr. S 


Document 2100-421: Summary of Event 2100-Omega 
+ LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE ONLY 


On 12/04/1994, the O5 council issued a top 
priority order to Site, directing senior 
personnel to focus all efforts on interrupting 
the stream of neutrinos emanating from 
SCP-2100. Since neutrinos pass through 
nearly all solid matter, extreme measures were 
necessary to interrupt the beam. On 
17/10/1996, Site DirectorL made a formal 
request to the O5 council asking permission to 
use SCP-__. The request detailed a plan to 
create a spatial anomaly which would redirect 
the Neutrino stream away from Milky Way 
Galaxy, toward galaxy 3C 252, which lies near 
the edge of known space. Two months later, 
the O5 council approved the request. On 
19/05/1999, SCP-__ was activated within 
SCP-2100, creating a bend in spacetime to 
redirect the neutrino stream. Immediately the 
neutrino stream ceased. The neutron star 
within 2100-1, being closely monitored, slowed 
from a rotational period of 0.5 ms to 500 ms. 
At the exact moment of interruption, reports 
began coming in from civilian and Foundation 
observatories all over the world. 226 
supernovae were observed to erupt throughout 
the Milky Way, 34 new black holes were 


discovered, and 11 previously documented 
stars disappeared with no trace. Most activity 
was centered in and around the Center Bulge 
of the Milky Way Galaxy; none of the activity 
posed any threat to Earth. 


Efforts to reinstate the neutrino stream have 
been unsuccessful. 


Requests by Site Director L__ to reclassify 
Event Omega-2100 as an XK-Scenario and 
utilize reality altering SCPs to retroactively 
prevent Event Omega-2100 have been denied.

SCP-2101: The Imperial Army 


Item #: SCP-2101 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Given the highly public nature 
of SCP-2101’s current location, containment is to focus around the 
disinformation campaign aimed at the public. The Foundation has 
currently negotiated with the Chinese government to halt all funding 
for the public excavation of SCP-2101. Any private donations aimed 
at completing the excavation of SCP-2101 are to be intercepted and 
redirected. 


Reconstructions of fragments or whole SCP-2101-1 instances are to 
be occasionally loaned to outside museums and other sources, in 
order to maintain the disinformation campaign. A minimum of 8000 
SCP-2101-1 instances must be maintained within the mausoleum at 
all times. 


Communication with SCP-2101-1 must be approved in a request 
form beforehand, to avoid unnecessary strain. At no point is 
SCP-926 or similar objects to be allowed within SCP-2101. 


Description: SCP-2101 refers to a sphere of effect located at 
34.3849° N, 109.2731° E, the location of the Mausoleum of the First 
Qin Emperor. (2498 2f@ && O{fAin) (transliteration: Qin shi huang 
ling ji bing ma y6ng kéng) The origin point of SCP-2101 is located 
roughly 8 meters below the current lowest level of the mausoleum. 


SCP-2101’s anomalous effect currently triggers in all individuals who 
enter within a 10-meter range of the object. Given SCP-2101’s 
position, this only affects those individuals who are located on the 
same level as the main excavation floor, where SCP-2101-1 
instances are located. SCP-2101 projects speech directly into the 
minds of individuals. The content of the speech centers around 
attempts to free SCP-2101, with several references to “riches” and 


“huge tracts of land” to individuals who assist in releasing SCP-2101 
from its current location. 


SCP-2101-1 refers to a collection of statues constructed of 
terracotta, commonly known as the “Terracotta Army” (£548) 
(transliteration: bing ma y6ng). These statues resemble soldiers 
from the Qin Dynasty period of Chinese history. It has been noted 
that each statue is unique in its appearance. All SCP-2101-1 
instances are currently located on the lowest floor of the 
mausoleum. 


SCP-2101-1 instances are capable of speech and movement, but 
they have stated that it is difficult for them to do so. Only one 
SCP-2101-1 instance ever speaks at one time. The speech is very 
slow and stilted, and has been noted to be difficult to understand at 
times. 


SCP-2101-1 instances claim that they actively contain SCP-2101. 
Multiple instances have reiterated their need to stay in their current 
location in order to properly maintain containment of SCP-2101. The 
veracity of these claims cannot be determined at this point. In past 
incidents, removal of SCP-2101-1 instances to the point in which 
less than 8000 instances were present has caused small scale 
seismic activity, measuring between 2 and 4 on the moment 
magnitude scale. The magnitude of the seismic activity increases 
the longer the instances are kept away from the lowest floor. 


Should the head of an SCP-2101-1 instance be destroyed, or if 
more than 50% of the body by mass is no longer in connection with 
the head, the SCP-2101-1 instance is considered to have been 
removed from the lowest floor. Reconstructing SCP-2101-1 
instances through reconnecting destroyed pieces is the only method 
of rectifying this. 


Object Recovery Report 2101-A: The following is a transcript of 
the video log compiled by the containment team that made first 
contact with SCP-2101. The dialogue has been translated from the 
original Mandarin. 


Date of Recovery: 12/1/1974 


Containment Team: Bravo-20 
Commander: Agent Yizhong Liao 


[Video begins] 


[Opening shot is of a containment team wearing 
standard People’s Liberation Army uniforms with the 
standard loadout of a small fire team. Team is being 
lowered into a hole in the ground.] 


Liao: Beginning containment report of Circumstantial 
Anomaly A9012. Containment team is entering 
subterranean level to reach entity. Be advised, 
knowledge of anomaly has spread in the area. Stronger 
containment protocols may be needed. 


[Containment team reaches level containing SCP-2101-1 
instances. Team disengages from ropes, and encounters 
SCP-2101-1 instances. ] 


Liao: Heavens above...what is this? 


Agent Hua: Looks like something out of a historical lian 
xu jue. 


Liao: Recorded note: Team has made contact and found 
what appears to be thousands of statues resembling 
ancient soldiers. Initial reports of “demon” voices not 
corro- 


[Members of containment team stop suddenly. According 
to a follow-up interview, SCP-2101 began to speak to the 
team at this point. A rough transcript of what the team 
recalls SCP-2101 said has been included here.] 


SCP-2101: Welcome, welcome. It looks like some good 
souls have finally arrived to free me from my 
imprisonment. 


Liao: Identify yourself. 


SCP-2101: | am your emperor. Bow before me, and 


release me from this prison. | will reward you with the 
riches of kings and lords. 


Liao: There is no emperor. Identify where you are 
located. 


SCP-2101: What do you mean by that? Surely my 
dynasty lives on, even now. Those petty warlords are no 
match for the might of my empire. | am below you, 
trapped in this dirt and stone by these infernal soldiers. 


Liao: What soldiers? 


SCP-2101: Those damned clay ones. | know that they’re 
still there, else | would be free by now. Quickly, dig 
through this layer and free me. 


[Agent Hua approaches a statue.| 
Hua: These are made of clay. How could the- 


[SCP-2101-1 instance (designated as SCP-2101-1-1) 
grabs Agent Hua’s arm] 


SCP-2101-1-1: Do not listen to him. Do not interfere. 
Liao: Let go of him! 

SCP-2101-1-1: Promise you will not interfere. 

Liao: Let go of him first. | can make no promises. 
SCP-2101-1-1: You must promise first. 

Liao: Open fire! 


[The SCP-2101-1 instance is hit with gunfire, severing its 
head. Other SCP-2101-1 instances are hit in the fire, 
causing further destruction. SCP-2101 begins to laugh.] 


SCP-2101: Yes! Yes! | can feel it! The bond is loosening! 
Keep destroying them! 


[Seismic activity begins. Anew SCP-2101-1 instance 
(designated SCP-2101-1-2) steps forward] 


Liao: Cease fire! Cease fire! 


SCP-2101-1-2: Fix the ones destroyed. We cannot allow 
him escape. 


Liao: What is this place? What is your purpose? 


SCP-2101-1-2: Hard to talk or move. We were men once 
but sacrifice to contain emperor. He turned dangerous. 
Had to stop him. Saw the right path. Gave ourselves up. 


SCP-2101: And betrayed your emperor and liege! A 
monstrous betrayal, one made by cowards and thieves, 
the servants of those damned warlords! An entire army, 
rising up against me! You must right this wrong and 
destroy them! 


SCP-2101-1-2: Must not listen to him. His lies killed 
many. 


SCP-2101: | brought peace and riches to all in the land! 
Quickly, you must not listen to their lies! Free me now, 
and | will take my throne again. The empire needs me. | 
am its true founder and leader. They have no right to 
imprison me here. 


Liao: Why is this ground shaking? 


SCP-2101-1-2: He is escaping. Need focus else he 
escapes. 


Liao: We need to call in for backup and figure out what 
to do. Cut that camera out, Ting. 


Following this incident, it was agreed upon in a 7 to 6 vote by the O5 
Council that containment would be followed by aiding SCP-2101-1 
instances, due to the implied breach caused by freeing SCP-2101.

addition, swarms appear able to take on the physical aspects and 
appearance of inanimate objects, such as doors, chairs, or even 
complex patterns such as those found in paintings, for extended 
periods of time. This mimicry is near perfect under casual 
observation, and requires detailed observation to detect. Swarms 
will sometimes even destroy existing objects and replace them in 
what appears to be an attempt at better disguise. 


SCP-236 can create additional individuals from any organic matter. 
This includes wood, cotton, or other materials derived from an 
organic source. SCP-236 units appear to remove small portions of 
matter with their pincers, consume it, then lay small spherical “eggs”, 
which hatch in to new members after ten minutes. Juvenile SCP-236 
look identical to adults but are smaller in size, and lack the 
chemicals used in the defensive response. Juveniles reach full adult 
size after six hours. 


SCP-236 individuals appear to fear light, rapid movement, or loud 
noises. This fear is reduced in proportion to the number of units in a 
swarm, but even large collectives can be startled by a sudden sound 
or bright light. SCP-236 that are startled while mimicking an object 
will rapidly break apart into individual units, which will then scatter 
and hide. Swarm regrouping can take up to 24 hours. 


When cornered, or unable to escape quickly, SCP-236 units will 
initiate their “defensive response”. This entails a unit raising its 
pincers, and then detonating with an explosion equivalent to 9.07 kg 
(20 lb) of C-4 explosive. Initial research suggests that this is the 
result of an internal chemical reaction involving the mixing of three 
normally inert chemicals. Collection of these chemicals has been 
problematic due to the relatively minute size of the storage 
chambers, and the likelihood of startling SCP-236 during the 
procedure. 


SCP-236 will use humans or any other living things as a resource, 
provided the swarm is of a sufficient size. Moderate size swarms 
can convert a whole human being in less than five minutes. 
Individual SCP-236 have also been observed entering the human 
body, typically while the subject is asleep, and begin to consume it 
from the inside out. This behavior, coupled with mimicry and the 
defensive response, make SCP-236 very difficult to detect and 


SCP-2102: Got Shoggoth? 


Item #: SCP-2102 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2102 is to be housed at 
Site-122 in an L-Type Humanoid Anomaly Containment Cell 
(HACC). This is to be modified to minimize the probability of injury to 
SCP-2102. SCP-2102 is to remain fully restrained at all times, with 
its hands and feet encased within padded sleeves to avoid 
accidental or intentional lacerations of its epidermis. SCP-2102 is to 
be considered a permanent Class Alpha-Red security risk in light of 
its suicidal tendencies. 


In case of an Unbounded Ectoentropic Reaction (UER), all on-site 
personnel not specifically attached to this project are to be 
evacuated, and three members of Security Staff with at least 
L2/2102 clearance are to enter SCP-2102's cell to initiate its Breach 
protocol'. Following the incident, SCP-2102 is to be treated by 
attached Level 3 Medical Staff for any burns sustained during the 
incident. Excess tissue is to be excised and the resulting wounds 
are to be cauterized immediately; this is currently the only reliable 
way to reduce the amount of tissue generated. Excised tissue is to 
be destroyed as per the standard Biohazard Disposal protocol. 


If its Breach protocol fails, all Site-122 personnel with Level 3 
Security Clearance have been provided with the passkey to this 
project's kill switch. This can be activated remotely and doing so will 
trigger the dispersal of a dicyanoacetylene gas and powdered 
fluoridated aluminium within SCP-2102's containment cell. This 
mixture will be ignited automatically after a three-second delay. If the 
kill switch is not successful in deactivating SCP-2102, no further 
provisions have been made. 


Description: SCP-2102 is an unidentified male of indeterminate age 
and descent. SCP-2102 measures approximately 178 cm in length 


and weighs an estimated 48 kg. 100% of SCP-2102's body is 
covered in hypertrophic scars, a result of the application of its 
Breach protocol in order to halt past UER/2102 events. Due to this 
scarification, SCP-2102 is deaf, mute and blind, and cannot be 
interviewed. All data on SCP-2102 was gathered from testing, and 
from surviving GRU Division "P" documentation. 


SCP-2102's anomalous properties manifest when it suffers a 
puncture wound or laceration, initiating an anomalous wound 
healing process (designated a UER/2102 event). This process is 
instantaneous and though both hemostatic and inflammatory phases 
occur as normal, the proliferative phase of the process occurs at a 
greatly increased rate, and no wound contraction occurs. During a 
UER/2102 event, SCP-2102 will continue to produce new tissue at 
an exponential rate, unless all open wounds are successfully 
cauterized. Based on this, it is estimated that the culmination of an 
NK-Class scenario would occur approximately four weeks post- 
event should full neutralization not be achieved. Tissue generated 
during UER/2102 events will expand into any available open space. 
Obstructions are able to delay the expansion, but as more tissue is 
generated, it will exert a mounting pressure on materials. Currently, 
there is no upper limit to the MPa SCP-2102 is able to generate. 


Blunt force trauma that does not break SCP-2102's epidermis will 
not induce its anomalous properties, and the application of intense 
heat will cauterize any open lacerations, halting SCP-2102's 
anomalous wound healing. Tests have also indicated that 
SCP-2102's anomalous properties would in all probability not persist 
if all soft tissues were destroyed. 


Addendum 2102-A-01: Notes on recovery and preliminary 
containment 


SCP-2102 was recovered from the grounds of the Institute of 
Experimental Medicine CSAV in , Czechoslovakia on 
12/02/1972. Foundation agents embedded in the Czechoslovakian 
government had been aware of the existence of a GRU Division "P" 
project housed on the grounds of the institute since earlier that year, 
and intelligence reports indicated its focus to be on the development 
of practical applications for rapid cellular regeneration. Following the 
successful appropriation of classified documentation detailing 


SCP-2102 and its anomalous properties, a recovery operation was 
planned for January 1973. 


On 12/02/1972, at 07:14 UTC/GMT, a disturbance was reported at 
the Institute of Experimental Medicine CSAV, and a large number of 
civilians were seen fleeing the premises. A small Foundation 
reconnaissance force comprised of members from several Mobile 
Task Forces stationed in Eastern Europe was immediately 
dispatched to take stock of the situation before recovery was 
initiated. Preliminary containment was effected at 23:01 UTC/GMT 
on 12/02/1972, permanent containment on 12/13/1972.

At 14:22:56 UTC/GMT, two F-4 Phantoms dropped their payload of 
M47A1 Napalm Incendiary bombs, successfully cauterizing the 
tissue generated by SCP-2102 during its UER/2102 event in 
progress. 


Addendum 2102-A-03: Translated excerpts from captured GRU 
Division "P" documentation 


The following selected diary entries were found amongst paperwork 
recovered from the Institute of Experimental Medicine CSAV. Their 
author could not definitively be determined. 


Date: 2 March 1972 

Finally arrived. | swear, the Tupolev was shaking more 
than the BMP | rode in during my service. The equipment 
crates were already there, and mostly intact, though two 
[REDACTED] chambers and a roentgen got mashed a 
bit on the train, and the mainframe looks rather unwell 
too. 

| met with the local staff | kept hearing such things about. 
Comrade doctor Csanyi, their head of research, has 
some genuinely compelling ideas about test subject 
suitability index based on basal metabolic rate, the Minsk 
experiments, and a couple other things, though that 
might have been the result of his barackpalinka. 


Date: 3 March 1972 
Turns out our and their three-phase plugs are somewhat 
different. | have a headache. 


Date: 5 March 1972 

Good news - me, Michail, Kuzma and their technician 
Prazdnovsky managed to swap the leads on everything, 
and fix up the broken kit with the spares he managed to 
dig out from somewhere. All of it works, too. 

Bad news - As soon as we plugged in all of it in for a test 
run, the fuses blew and we knocked out the power from 
half the institute. | would have thought they prepared 
things to our specifications. 

Ugly news - Looking through their fusing diagrams - it 
took the three of us half the day to sort it out. Whoever 
drew these up should be scrubbing the cellars of the 
Lubyanka. 


At least we will have time to go sightseeing. There is a 
pretty amazing castle ruin nearby, and since comrade 
Dr. Oravcova's sister works there, we can go fora 
private tour. Still, the project stagnating for reasons this 
stupid leaves a bitter aftertaste. 


Date: 19 April 1972 

It took a couple chats with the ONV board, the institute's 
director and one angry call to Moscow, but we had the 
power grid strengthened in record time. Take that, 
Wattley and Weber‘4. 

In other news, they brought in a couple promising 
candidates today. Not ideal by far, but we will have to 
work with what we have. Soon, we will see if the theories 
are correct. 


PS. The trip was a blast. Got Marusja a scarf she will 
love, too, and what is better, entire stock = about a kilo - 
of chewing gums - all it took was a roll of rubles to the 
shopkeeper. 


Date: 5 May 1972 

The first subject looked promising at first. When we 
introduced trauma, rapid clotting took place as expected, 
but the process aborted soon enough, and lesions 
developed. Turns out Michail mixed in far too much 
neodymium, the oaf. | swear this is the last straw - | told 


him if he fucks up again | will drag his ass to Moscow by 
his collar. 


Date: 28 June 1972 

Why do they keep dying?! It does not make sense - 
reducing the amount of neodymium actually made the 
necrosis worse. | cannot tell Michail that or | will be 
hearing it for the rest of my life. 


Date: 3 August 1972 

The cultivation is done, and Elena (MUDr. Elena 
Oravcova CSc., current whereabouts unknown - red.) 
had a look at the histology. The results are interesting - 
almost like an equilibrium of sorts. The cells divide fifty 
times faster than in control samples, but they die off 
almost immediately too, until the whole thing chokes on 
its own waste, so to say. It is not pretty. 

It seems that to make this work, we need to shift that 
balance somehow. 


Date: 15 August 1972 

So we got another candidate, the 16th since the start of 
the project. | had gone to Szilard (RNDr. Szilard Csanyi 
DrSc., see documentation on Operation Redemption - 
red.) and told him we really needed someone more 
resilient than normal people. The ministry came through - 
from what we heard, we got ourselves a counter- 
revolutionary who spent fifteen years in an uranium mine 
as punishment detail, and somehow came out fine. Sure 
enough, histology results point at his cells pulling a 
Koschei the Deathless, and his natural regeneration is 
about twice as fast as your average man, too. Who 
knows? This might be the one. 


Date: 5 September 1972 

Preliminary results looking good. The wound healing 
process does not abort anymore, though perhaps it is 
completing a bit too rapidly. | cannot believe | just wrote 
that, hah! | wonder if we can refine the process and 
perhaps even make it permanent? It was not our original 
goal, but if we manage this... 


contain effectively. 


Addendum: While SCP-236 has not been observed to mimic 
organic life, the possibility exists for SCP-236 to develop this 
behavior. Notably, during testing with SCP-2366 when SCP-236 
mimicked a brown bear and began to exhibit increased predatory 
behavior and [DATA EXPUNGED]. Such formations are to be 
immediately reported, and testing area cleared immediately. 


« SCP-235 | SCP-236 | SCP-237 » 


Date: 24 September 1972 

| am finding it increasingly difficult to sleep. X-16 is not 
like the others, he is not weak. The others never lasted 
for more than one cycle, but X-16 has been lacerated so 
many times now, and each time he survives. Today he 
somehow freed himself from the restraints and attempted 
to slit his wrists. | should be happy, because it means the 
effect now lasts several hours longer than we expected, 
but | cannot help but feel bad for him. | need some time 
off. Maybe Szilard will let me go see Marusja. 


Date: 15 October 1972 

Finally! We have found the right composition. It turns out 
that we needed a little more of that stabilizing agent 
Jurij (unknown - red.) introduced a few weeks ago. It 
was staring us in the face all this time. Subject X-16 is 
responding well, in the medical sense at least; he is as 
uncooperative as ever. It does not matter. It will be done 
and over soon, another little step towards our victory. 
When you think of it, the man is a hero, and he does not 
even know it. 


Date: 3 November 1972 

Elena showed up in my section of the lab just as | was 
preparing another batch of the serum. She looked 
distraught, and practically dragged me off by the sleeve. 
Good reason too. Long story short, the samples seem to 
be gaining mass from nowhere. She thought it was a 
measurement error, but | got the same after spending 
the day calibrating the machines. | am very worried. 

| got into an argument with Szilard and Jurij - they say it 
is bound to be an error and want to press on, while | and 
Elena want to look deeper into what the hell is 
happening. 


Date: 26 November 1972 

There is a pattern to the increases in mass and [DATA 
EXPUNGED] all over, and it is not just X-16 now. | feel 
the answer is at my grasp. | had it all worked it out 
yesterday, but | woke up at my desk soon after. | really 


need more sleep. And Marusja, | miss her, but Szilard is 
not about to let me go. 


Date: 27 November 1972 

We were ordered to stop working on sample analysis 
and focus on empirical tuning of the composition. Me and 
Elena appear to be the only ones with an ounce of 
common sense here. Just a few days more. 


Date: 2 December 1972 

It is far too early to be up, but | cannot sleep. Today is 
the day we either produce the very first super-soldier, or 
we start over with nothing. | really do not know which is 
better. Eh, tomorrow is a day too. 


There are no later entries in the diary.

SCP-2103: Thought Preserves 


Item #: SCP-2103 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2103 is to be contained in 
a Safe Object locker when not in use for testing or experimentation. 
When so stored, SCP-2103 is to be directly contained in a small (no 
larger than 1m along any dimension) storage case suitable for 
transporting fragile, glass-like items. This case is to remain open 
inside the locker and under automated surveillance at all times; 
specifically observed by an automated process that is able to detect 
motion and non-motion based visual changes (such as color 
changes) to the observed area. Any such observed change must be 
immediately reported to the research team appointed to SCP-2103. 


Due to the object's low tolerance for physical stress and heat, tests 
to determine SCP-2103's composition are halted indefinitely. 


Update 10/23/2013: As of Incident 2103-04, no new Lead 
Researcher or similar position of singular authority is to be 
appointed to the object's research team. The research team will 
consist of no fewer than seven qualified research staff, all of which 
must be consulted when changes to SCP-2103's containment are 
made or decisions about the testing methods used on the object are 
determined. In the event that all members of the research team 
agree unanimously on a course of such action, one team member is 
to be selected in an immediate, random fashion'. This team member 
is to adopt a documented dissenting opinion that is to be attached to 
the log or proposal that is chosen to be put in effect. 


If a member of the O5 Council wishes to countermand an action by 
the research team, a similar procedure, involving at least three 
members of the Council, must be executed. 


Description: SCP-2103 is visually identical to a typical American- 


made "Mason Jar" glass container. When not displaying anomalous 
properties, it is able to contain one quart of liquid (assuming the 
lower hole is blocked) or equivalent volumes of any other material. 
Unlike typical Mason jars, there is no brand name, logo, 
manufacturing data, or similar embossment on the glass. There is 
also a 25mm diameter hole in the center of the jar's bottom, with 
smooth edges that appear to be part of the original design and not 
created afterwards. The jar section is made of a material similar in 
transparency and density to glass, but has shown a much lower 
resistance to heat and physical stress than glass. 


When used to hold physical objects, SCP-2103 displays no unusual 
properties - items placed into the top of the jar either remain in the 
jar or exit through the bottom hole if they are of proper size or 
makeup to do so. However, the holderowning entity? (see following 
for details) may store concepts or ideas into the jar through a poorly 
understood process. 


For the purposes of SCP-2103, "ownership" by an entity is loosely 
defined as said entity having widely acknowledged (or uncontested) 
legal, moral, or physical responsibility and dominion over the item. 
The exact parameters of ownership varies somewhat from item to 
item, suggesting some manner of sentience or programmed 
decision making process on the part of SCP-2103. For the most 
part, concepts and ideas that only affect a single individual seem the 
most easily "owned", while larger concepts that a wide array of 
individuals understand, are affected by, know about, or make use of 
fail this criteria. 


SCP-2103 is apparently capable of storing a single concept or idea 
(referred to hereafter as "item") at a time. When so stored, 
knowledge of the item is removed from reality - the previous owner 
and others cannot recall the item, and depending on the item in 
question may or may not be able to realize that something is missing 
at all. SCP-2103 seems to have further limited reality-altering 
potential, as in many cases the storage of the item causes shifts in 
reality accordingly as if the item had never been a part of reality. 


Due to Incident 2103-04, SCP-2103 has shown an ability to store 
physical objects under certain circumstances. See Incident Log 
2103-04 for further details. Intentional testing to recreate these 


conditions is pending review but currently forbidden. 


SCP-2103 was acquired by the Foundation following a series of 
Internet postings referring to a "counselor" who promised his clients 
the ability to eliminate grief and emotionally painful events from their 
past. After five separate and unrelated accounts of SCP-2103's 
properties in action (clients discussing a "therapy jar" and an inability 
to recall certain events they had posted about previously) 
Foundation observers were sent to contact the counselor under the 
guise of potential clients. The owner was unwilling to part with the 
item for various sums of money or other offered exchanges, and 
proved unaffected by amnesiacs administered by agents on site. 
After a short confrontation, the subject escaped but SCP-2103 was 
recovered. 


The previous owner of SCP-2103 remains a person of interest to the 
Foundation. See related Report A-2103 for details. 


+ Access Testing Log 2103 


Note: For brevity, unusual or notable testing results have 
been highlighted in the following list, along with E-2103- 
T1 (Test 1) for baseline comparison. For a complete log 
of tests and results, please see document E-2103-T1 
through E-2103-T157. 


Test E-2103-T1 


Subject: One standard ballpoint pen issued to 
Foundation research team members. 
Procedure: SCP-2103 is held approximately 
one foot above a flat, unoccupied table and 
pen is dropped in from a height of six inches. 
Results: Pen falls through jar, exiting bottom 
hole. 

Analysis: SCP-2103 shows no unusual 
properties in regards to physical objects. 
Similar tests with different items of different 
composition to follow. 


Test E-2103-T12 


Subject: Assistant researcher's recollection 
where he parked. 

Procedure: A research assistant handles the 
jar and tries to focus on the memory "going 
into" the jar. After questioning the researcher 
to determine success or failure, the memory 
will be removed through a similar process. 
Results: After five seconds, the research 
assistant is asked if it worked and responds 
that he was not certain. Assistant is 
questioned about where his car is parked and 
responds that he knows but then cannot recall. 
Assistant shows mild distress and then is able 
to recall. 

Analysis: It is difficult to be certain if the 
process functioned as expected, due to no 
indication from the jar. It is possible the 
research assistant simply had a momentary 
lapse of memory. Additional testing conditions, 
specifically to measure success or failure, 
recommended. 


Test E-2103-T13 


Subject: Lead Researcher Morris' shoe size. 
Procedure: Dr. Morris writes down his shoe 
size and then attempts to store the information 
in SCP-2103. After indication of success or 
failure, the memory will be removed by a 
similar process. 

Results: Dr. Morris takes notes as indicated, 
then attempts to place the idea of his shoe 
size into the jar. After five seconds, a research 
assistant checks the notes and finds where the 
indication had been, the page is blank. Dr. 
Morris takes a look at the page, attempts to 
write down what was there previously, and 
finds he cannot remember. Memory retrieved 
afterwards, page returns to normal. 

Analysis: As theorized by Dr. Morris, the 


storage of an idea removes dependent 
indicators from reality as well. Dr. Morris also 
noted that during the time his memory was 
stored, as soon as his attention was drawn to 
his feet, he felt as if his shoes were too big and 
too small at the same time. Review of footage 
after the fact indicates a slight discoloration 
(yellow/brown in color) of the upper opening of 
SCP-2103 upon activation. 


Test E-2103-T57 


Subject: Assistant researcher Jameson's 
memory of a dead dog. Assistant researcher 
Santos' memory of breakfast this morning. 
Procedure: Dr. Jameson will begin by placing 
his memory in the jar, then Dr. Santos will do 
the same. Both researchers will write down 
some significant part of the memory in order to 
indicate success or failure. Memories will be 
retrieved in reverse order. 

Results: Dr. Jameson places memory of his 
dead dog in the jar, and hands SCP-2103 over 
to Dr. Santos. Dr. Jameson is then questioned 
about his dog, and cannot recall. As Dr. 
Santos is executing his part of the test, Dr. 
Jameson then begins to remember, and 
written indicators about the memory return to 
the paper upon which they were written. Dr. 
Santos' memory is stored as expected and 
then retrieved. Upon further examination of 
notes made, a small, handwritten note reading 
"| told you it's not for that, please stop" in 
English appears near Dr. Jameson's 
description of his memory. 

Analysis: SCP-2103 seems capable of only 
storing one item at a time, immediately 
ejecting the previously entered one. However, 
as routine study of "patients" seen by 
SCP-2103's previous owner indicate that they 


have not regained such memories, it is 
possible that the jar has an unknown method 
of storing multiple items, or the previous owner 
was using multiple such jars. The 
spontaneously added note is currently being 
analyzed for handwriting, but was written in the 
same ink used by Dr. Jameson. Given the 
possibility of sentience involved with 
SCP-2103's operation, the item is classified as 
a potential security leak and memories, 
concepts, ideas, etc relevant to the Foundation 
are not to be tested. 


Test E-2103-T145 


Subject: Assistant researcher Santos’ hygiene 
habits. 

Procedure: Assistant researcher Santos looks 
at the jar and thinks about placing the details 
of his morning hygiene routine into the jar. 
Ballpoint pen inserted into SCP-2103 after 
success or failure of attempt established. 
Results: One second after test is initiated, Dr. 
Santos expresses extreme pain and collapses 
to the floor. Dr. Santos shows no signs of life 
and emergency medical teams are unable to 
revive him. Autopsy reveals multiple infections, 
diseases, and other medical issues associated 
with a lack of personal cleanliness. The 
memory from a previous test is inserted into 
SCP-2103 and three seconds later, Dr. 
Santos' corpse loses the transformations 
gained at the start of the test, but shows no 
sign of life. Unmeasured moments later 
(estimated at five seconds), a piece of 8.5" x 
11" paper is ejected from the jar with the 
words, "Sorry, | gave back what | could," 
written in English. Testing on handwriting, ink, 
and paper is ordered. 

Analysis: While SCP-2103 seems to be able 


to store concepts, there is apparently a limit to 
how they can be restored when ejected from 
the item. Testing in this vein suspended 
pending 05 review. 


+ Incident 2103-04 Report. (ACCESS TO LEVEL 3 PERSONNEL OR 


On 10/18/2103, Head Researcher Morris activated 
SCP-2103 without his knowledge, leading to a breach 
situation. The catalyzing event was not directly observed 
by reporting staff, but has been pieced together from 
verifiable testimony after the fact. While having lunch 
with several colleagues, Dr. Morris was discussing his 
current domestic issues with his daughter. According to 
testimony, Dr. Morris stated that he felt guilty because 
sometimes he "really wished [he] could just stuff [his] 
pain-in-the-ass kid into that jar for a little while." 


Due to SCP-2103's reality-altering properties, the 
activation event was not noticed immediately. When 
SCP-2103's associated paperwork was later being 
reviewed after testing, a research assistant notified Dr. 
Morris that an item from a previous test (a researcher's 
memory of how many paper clips she placed in a box) 
had been restored. This prompted the researchers to 
realize the item had been activated. Senior site staff 
deliberated on what to do, since it was uncertain what 
had gone into the jar and how. After several days of 
preparing for various possible scenarios, SCP-2103 was 
activated again using the previously stored memory. The 
result was a return of Dr. Morris' daughter to reality, but 
deceased. The finer detail's of the corpse's features 
(eyelashes, hair, pores, clothes threads, and so on) were 
blurred and indistinct. A note similar to the one 
encountered in E-2103-T145 was ejected‘. 


In the aftermath of Incident 2103-04, Dr. Morris has 
theorized that SCP-2103 is able to, over time, 
acknowledge an "owner" that is able to activate 
SCP-2103 without physical proximity. Returned concepts 
seem affected in quality by either the recollection at the 


time of entry or retrieval, as evidenced by the state of his 
daughter's return. This has led to the current 
containment protocols, developed by Dr. Morris before 
his withdrawal from the SCP-2103 research team. 


Due to the current psychological stress on Dr. Morris and 
Ongoing psychiatric care and marriage counseling, Dr. 
Morris' clearance has been reduced to Level 1 (with the 
exception of family loss compensation guidelines set for 
Level 3 Researchers, to which Dr. Morris remains 
entitled) until further notice.

3. As it is difficult to quantify a number of ideas, as certain concepts 
have logical overlap, multiple ideas or concepts intersecting into one 
idea or concept is generally regarded as "one" for the purposes of 
testing.

SCP-237: Self-Made Man 


Item #: SCP-237 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The recovered components of 
SCP-237-1 have been individually shrink-wrapped, and are to be 
stored separately; laser grids are established around each 
component to detect any incipient signs of activity. 


The individual instances of SCP-237-2 are contained in separate 
proportionately-reduced humanoid containment cells, with 
supervised interaction between instances being permitted contingent 
on good behavior. Personnel supervising interaction between 
instances of SCP-237-2 are required to be fluent in spoken 
Japanese; all interactions are to be recorded and filmed. 


Instances of SCP-237-2 will periodically request supplies of resin 
and clay with which to repair damage to themselves; to de- 
incentivize self-harm and prevent stockpiling, these requests are to 
be fulfilled no more often than once a month, and any supplies not 
used in repairing damage are to be removed. 


Standard data-mining bots have been introduced into the law- 
enforcement IT infrastructure throughout the Kansai region of Japan, 
to maintain surveillance for uncontained instances of SCP-237-2. 
Standard Internet-monitoring bots have been set to watch video- 
sharing sites for further copies of SCP-237-1's videos; all such 
copies are to be taken down via Prenda protocols. 


Description: SCP-237 is the collective designation of the physical 
remains of SCP-237-1, and of the set of instances of SCP-237-2 
which it created. Prior to being taken into Foundation custody, 
SCP-237-1 appeared to be a human male of Japanese ethnicity, 
with falsified identity documents indicating an age of 24 years. It 
manifested the anomalous ability to endow instances of SCP-237-2 


SCP-2104: The King by the Tree 


Item #: SCP-2104 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All entries leading to 
SCP-2104-B are to be surrounded by a wire mesh fence. The 
fence's perimeter is to be patrolled to avoid civilian intruders. Any 
civilian crossing the perimeter must be administered Class B 
amnestics. 


Observation Post-04 has been created near the village of : 
Spain, to remotely monitor the 32 known entries to SCP-2104-B. 


Description: SCP-2104-A is a humanoid entity of variable 
appearance. SCP-2104-A is located inside SCP-2104-B, and seems 
to be unable to leave this area or act outside it.(See Addendum 
004/1.) 


SCP-2104-A is able to partially control its physical appearance, and 
usually takes the form of a child between 7 and 9 years old. Based 
on previous interactions recorded during reconnaissance missions, 
SCP-2104-A presents symptoms of intellectual disability. Its body is 
covered by different kinds of organic materials (such as fur, sticks, 
and mud) and small living organisms, including birds, insects, 
rodents, and lichens. 


SCP-2104-A displays a positive emotional response to interaction 
with children, but shows fear when approached by adults. 


SCP-2104-A is typically found in the same location, under a holm 
oak tree (Quercus ilex) with a weathered straw rope hanging from 
one of the tree's branches. 


SCP-2104-B is an extra-dimensional space that occupies an 
approximate geographic surface of 0.15 km2. To date, 32 entries to 


SCP-2104-B have been identified and documented. Entrances are 
always centered on natural terrain features such as rocks or trees, 
and are effectively invisible to the naked eye. 


Entrances to SCP-2104-B are normally inactive, but will activate if 
approached by prepubescent children. Adults approaching an 
entrance do not cause it to activate. 


SCP-2104-A is able to alter reality inside SCP-2104-B to a certain 
extent, changing the composition of matter and considerably 
affecting the behavior of indigenous fauna and flora of the area. 
During the last 50 years, SCP-2104-A has modified SCP-2104-B to 
reflect a series of themes from Aesop’s fables, along other 
unidentified manifestations. Some animals within the area have 
shown the ability to speak, and commonly refer to SCP-2104-A as 
"the king by the tree." 


According to the results of field analysis, SCP-2104-B is 
geographically identical to the area it covers in this reality construct.

Subject-5 (male, 9 years old), equipped with a 
helmet with an integrated video camera, 
accesses SCP-2104-B through Entrance 7. 


Recording begins. Subject goes through 
Entrance 7 at 11:08h. 


Subject enters a small wooded area. In its 
center are SCP-2104-A and a fox, sitting at a 
large table set for three. There is a large 
platter filled with vines of grapes. SCP-2104-A 
displays the appearance of a 7-10 year old 
child, dressed in what appear to be vine 
leaves. Upon seeing the subject, both entities 
address him. 


Fox: You came! We were awaiting for an 
illustrious guest, and my king was feeling 
hungry. 


SCP-2104-A: H-hello, friend! 


SCP-2104-A watches the subject with 
expectation and points to a seat. The subject 
is instructed to take it and behave naturally. 
The fox approaches the subject with a bundle 
of grapes. 


Subject-5: But... but | don't like grapes. 


Fox: Hey! These grapes are ripe and ready to 
eat! 


The fox growls threateningly at the subject. 
SCP-2104-A appears nervous, and intervenes. 


SCP-2104-A: Go away! Bad fox! 


SCP-2104-A then proceeds then to gather 
pebbles and mud from the ground around the 
table, and places them into an empty dish. 
Afterwards, he offers the dish to the subject in 
a friendly manner. 


SCP-2104-A: T-tasty meatballs and mashed 
pot-tatoes. 


The pebbles and mud are replaced by 
meatballs and mashed potatoes. 


The subject is given further instructions to 
leave the area. The rest of the reconnaissance 
is deemed irrelevant. 


Subject vacates the area at 17:48. 


Recording ends.

with a helmet with an integrated video camera, 
accesses SCP-2104-B through Entrance 03. 
The subject is told to avoid contact and 
interaction with animal entities unless she is 
given a direct order and to go to the location 
where SCP-2104-A is usually to be found. 

It is night time within SCP-2104-B. Recording 
begins. Subject goes through Entrance 22 at 
14:28h. 


The ground is covered with what appear to be 
fireflies. Subject becomes apprehensive from 

the sudden darkness, but is encouraged to go 
forward. 


The sun inside SCP-2104-B rises at an 
abnormal speed. Subject arrives to a pond's 
edge, and is given authorisation to rest a few 
minutes. While resting seated by the shore, 
the subject is approached by two storks, 
wearing a typical head scarf from the rural 
region where SCP-2104-B entrances are 
located, and voluminous bags. The following 
conversation takes place: 


Stork 1: Clack-cackclack! A little princess has 
come to see the king. 


Stork 2: But the king is sad and has climbed 
the tree. Will you bring him down from his 
branch, child? 


Stork 1: But we have to make the fox drink 
from the narrow-necked vase, sister. 


Stork 2: Do you think you can bring him down, 
princess? 


After this exchange, the first stork hurries and 
pushes the second one and they move away 
from the subject. 


The subject is given instructions to resume the 
exploration and to head to the tree where 
SCP-2104-A is usually located. 


500 m further on, the subject encounters a row 
of ants walking in the same direction. The ants 
are of a much larger size than usual, 
measuring up to 40 cm in length (estimated by 
subject). They carry small cloth packages on 
their backs. 


The subject is told to approach the ants. Some 
of the insects express interest for the subject, 
and they slow down to talk to her. 


Ant 1: The princess has arrived just in time for 
the king's feast! 


Ant 2: But when the king is up the tree he 
does not touch our delicacies! Child, will you 
taste them? 


Ant 3: The princess won't eat, the king does 
not eat, the grasshopper shall eat everything. 


Ant 1: The grasshopper plays the guitar and 
sings, but the king is not coming down the 
tree. 


At this moment, a legionary ant approaches 
the group of worker ants that have strayed 
from the line and pushes them back. 


After this encounter, the subject is told to move 
away from the ant line and to continue to her 


destination. 


The subject spots the holm oak tree. The 
subject is told to approach it. 


When the subject is approximately 20 m away 
from the tree, she reports through the radio 
system that there is something hanging from it. 
The video feed shows SCP-2104-A, hanging 
from the rope in the tree. The body does not 
show external signs of decay. Standing on the 
ground near SCP-2104-A there are two 
humanoid entities resembling a human adult in 
shape and size, male and female. They 
appear to be composed of clay. Both objects 
have acorns embedded on their surface, 
arranged in resemblance of simplified facial 
features. 


The subject points out that the objects are 
emitting sounds. The subject is told to 
approach the objects until a conversation 
between them is heard through the radio 
system. 


Object 1: ... just take him and do it, José. | 
can’t take it anymore. 


Object 2: Me? I’m sure this comes from your 
fucking family. Half of you are idiots, and you 
don’t even know who your mother’s father 
was. I'll tell you, he was the demon and here’s 
your punishment. Take him yourself if- 


Object 1: Go fuck yourself, José. You know 
what, you are a fucking coward. Don’t look at 
me like that, you even have to leave the house 
when we slaughter the pigs. If it was up to you, 
in one week the rest of the town would have 
seen your son doing those things. 


Object 2: Ascen, what do you want? | don’t 
know what to do anymore. Oh god, just leave 
him with your aunt. She’s always telling him 
those fables, she loves him. 


Object 1: Please, José, don’t do this to me, 
you know that we can’t do that. Eventually 
someone would know, and then what? You 
saw that thing yesterday with the ants. It’s 
getting worse. Please, listen to me. Go get the 
kid. We'll do this together. 


Object 2: Oh, god. Okay. Just... okay, I'll go. 
Go get everything, you. (shouting) Mateo! 
Mateo! Where are you? Come down here! 


Object 1: He's already down in the kitchen, 
José. 


Object 2: Oh. Mateo, come here. We are 
going for a walk outside. 


After this line, both objects remain silent for a 
couple of minutes, and then the conversation 
is restarted. The subject is told to return 
through Entrance 03. 


The subject vacates the area at 15:36. 
End of recording.

SCP-2105: Programmable Occult 


Item #: SCP-2105 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: A single copy of SCP-2105 is to 
be kept in a secure lockbox in Room 382-C in Research Facility-12. 
Personnel are allowed to experiment with SCP-2105 within Room 
382-C, but only after a thorough psychological examination and 
under direct supervision of a researcher with Level-3 security 
clearance. All experiments are to be logged and placed in File 
12-2105-C. 


Any rituals generated by SCP-2105 discovered outside of 
containment are to be quickly destroyed by any means immediately 
upon discovery, including any results of said rituals. Any civilians 
involved in rituals will be administered Class B Amnestics and all 
their electronics will be confiscated and destroyed. 


Mobile Task Force Gamma-5 ("Red Herrings") is ordered to track 
down and contain SCP-2105 and any rituals generated by it. 


Description: SCP-2105 is a DOS program called "mv_sk1r.COM" 
and is compressed in a .tar.gz archive that also contains a .txt file 
[Designated DCMT-2105-1], both of the same name. 


SCP-2105 can be run on any operating system, despite the .COM 
filetype generally only functioning on DOS using the 
COMMAND.COM default program. However, when SCP-2105 is run 
on other operating systems, it creates its own instance of 
COMMAND.COM to run inside. Once running, the user is offered 
multiple options. A reproduction can be seen here:

Ritual Type: 


When the program is activated with all inputs filled, the program 
generates an anomalous output that can often be interpreted as a 
religious ritual with some statistical anomalies.’ Any rituals 
generated by SCP-2105 will be referred to SCP-2105-1, 
SCP-2105-2, etc. During testing, it has been found that these rituals 
will only be usable by the user that generated them and only while 
the user possesses a text copy of the ritual.2 If all copies are 
terminated the ritual will cease to function. 


While the rituals generated by SCP-2105 currently are not fully 
understood, with extensive testing [See Experiment Logs 2105] a 
few rules have been discovered: 


1. All objects used in the rituals are found within an 
approximately 100 meter radius of the user 


2. One object used in the ritual will be of value to the 
user. These objects tend to fall into one of two 
categories: 


« An inanimate object of value to the user 
* A piece of the user's body 


5. Objects tend to be symbolic of the result of ritual. 
[Researcher note: It has been found that some 
rituals fall outside this rule, but this is statistically a 
common result] 

6. Rituals are highly dependent on the user's 
intentions when originally generating the ritual 

7. Rituals should not be stopped once begun, altered 
in any way, or rendered impossible to perform 


Rule 4 is currently the primary focus of testing as it has the most 
bearing on the results of the ritual generation after the program 
settings themselves. For example, it has found if the user's intention 
is to kill someone they dislike, the ritual will often result in something 
to cause the target harm. Many D-Class's results were rituals that 
physically transported themselves outside the facility. 


Available results of experimentation do not suggest how the 
anomalous effect of the rituals manifest. After careful cross- 
referencing of Foundation Data with over a thousand rituals 
generated, there has been found to be a limited but significant 
connection to the Church of the Broken God. 


mv_sk1r.tar.gz was discovered on the computer of a University of 
South computer science student [Designated 
W-2105-001] after his public trial for the murder of [REDACTED]. 
The Foundation took custody of W-2105-001 during his widely 
televised trial for the murder of his roommate. W-2105-001 had 
originally been arrested after being questioned about his 
roommate's disappearance. The Foundation took interest in 
W-2105-001 after reviewing the original logs by the local police. 
After further interrogation by Researcher Michaelson (See 
Interrogation-—W-2105-001), all items owned by W-2105-001 
were confiscated and W-2105-001 was taken into custody. 


with sapience, sensoria, and independent mobility. 


The 16 instances of SCP-237-2 are clay-and-polyurethane 
statuettes which were anomalously given awareness, sight, hearing, 
and independent mobility by SCP-237-1. 14 of the instances have 
displayed the ability to soeak Japanese; of these 14, 3 have also 
displayed the ability to speak English." 


While being transported to Site-12 for long-term containment, 
SCP-237-1 abruptly collapsed into several dozen disconnected 
slabs of clay and polyurethane resin, similar in composition to the 
instances of SCP-237-2; however, where the resin-and-clay mixture 
in instances of SCP-237-2 is homogeneous and featureless, in 
SCP-237-1 the mixture is shaped into replica human organs that are 
accurate to the sub-millimeter level. 


List of instances of SCP-237-2 in custody 


1. 23-cm-tall human female in French maid's outfit, holding a 
deck broom (nonremovable) 

2. 19-cm-tall human female in swimsuit. Has feline ears (one 
broken), tail (broken), and paws. 

3. 25-cm-tall human female in leather motorcyclist gear with 
zipper open past its navel. Left forearm missing. 

4. 27-cm-tall human male in samurai armor. Face is featureless; 
communicates by writing Japanese characters with its sword 
(nonremovable). 

5. 20-cm-tall human infant, nude. No genitalia. Has not displayed 
ability to speak, but is fluent in Japanese Sign Language. 

6. 30-cm-tall human male with flensed skin and visible organs. 
Head is on backwards as a result of attempts at repair. 

7. 22-cm-tall human adolescent female in swimsuit. Has 
disproportionately-large "anime"-style eyes (nonfunctional). 

8. 24-cm-tall human female in office clothes. Permanently in a 
seated position. 

9. 15-cm-tall emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri. 

10. 22-cm-tall human female in "gothic lolita" outfit. Back of head 
is missing. 

11. 21-cm-tall human female in gymnast outfit. Feet are 
unfinished. 

12. 23-cm-tall human female in samurai armor. 


Addendum: Under request of Researcher Michaelson, a through 
search of W-2105-001's belongings was conducted. A box matching 
the description given during interrogation was found and was taken 
to Research Facility-12 for further research. After a thorough 
examination of the box, it was found to be non-anomalous in nature, 
but Researcher Michaelson discovered a few properties of the box 
that may give insight into the nature of SCP-2105. The following is a 
facsimile of Researcher Micaelson's notes: 


Research Findings | Object: Bronze Box associated 
with SCP-2105 


Description: A 14 cm x 14cm x 14cm cube witha 
pyramid-like lid composed of a highly corroded copper. 
Object is covered in markings found to be a text from 
Shang Dynasty [1250 BCE] surrounded by zoomorphic 
patterns set in a low relief. The interior of the object 
contains an object found to be a Shang Dynasty ritual 
wine container in the shape of an owl. 


The text has been translated from a little known Oracle 
Language of the Shang Dynasty: 

Organics among us do not belong. Drink! Drink and be 
organic, you faithless among us who do not belong. Call 
out to Jade Emperor. He will not come for you. Place 
yourself under his gaze and find your whims bent to your 
every knowing. For the mutilated among us will find 
themselves hungry for integration. Write these whims 
with oracle bones and find them alive among your 
parchment. 


Hypothesis: While speaking in riddles is chief among 
the Church of the Broken God's dogma, | believe it may 
be possible to parse a meaning out of this nonsense. 
After discussing this matter with Dr. Forsyth, we believe 
that the anomalous properties of SCP-2105 may be a 
transference of a belief among primarily the "Church of 
Maxwellism"(GOI-004C) found in their "Gospel of the 
Sixth Network - Chapter 2: Comments."4 This section is 
generally interpreted by members as a tacit acceptance 
by their god to modify this world's "source code" in any 


way they see fit in order to fulfil their goals. We have no 
proof of this outside our educated guess, but Dr. Forsyth 
and | believe that this program may have been made for 
this purpose. 


The box and its contents have been placed back with W-2105-001's 
belongings until further research is required. -O5-

further indication of anomaly, this is believed to be a result of their 
common origin. 


Acquisition Log: SCP-237-1 was discovered after it uploaded 
several videos to the video-sharing site [REDACTED].jp, in which it 
demonstrated its anomaly. A mobile task force was dispatched to its

regarding the rituals 
has been revised and 
made significantly

Additionally, further 
research into the other 
ritual types has been 
deemed necessary. 
As such, D-993 has

Supervisor Notes 
Due to the current 
unpredictable nature 
of SCP-2105 and of a 
Summoning Ritual 
possibly resulting in a 
XK class end-of-the- 
world scenario, Dr. 
Marberry is joining me 
in observation of 
Experiment-2105-a4. 
["We can never be too 
careful." -O5- ] D-2129 
and D-990 are familiar 
with each other, 
sharing the same 
domicile while in 
custody of The 
Foundation. D-2129 is 
a tall, muscular man of 
European descent. 
Previously 
administered Class A 
Amnestics, D-2129 
has no memory of his 
life before acquisition 
by The Foundation. 
D-990 is a tall, 
diminutive man of 
Colombian descent. 
He claims to have 


known D-2129 before 
their capture. 

Objects in room

mechanical creature 
of an equine nature 
[researcher note: Dr. 
Marberry believes it 
bore a superficial 
resemblance to beings 
in SCP-967] grew 
from D-2129's tendon. 
Lasting approximately 
45 minutes, the 
creature spoke a 
language unfamiliar to 
both the subjects and 
the supervisors. The 
creature became 
increasingly more 
frustrated until it 
grabbed D-2129 and 
reverted back into the 
tendon. D-2129 
reverted back with the 
creature, showing no 
signs of distress 
during the reversion. 
Post-Results 
Supervisor Notes 
D-2129 and D-990 
were initially extremely 


reluctant to perform 
the ritual. While 
Subjects argued over 
whether or not to 
follow orders, objects 
were gathered for the 
ritual. Dr. Marberry 
located a pair of 
scissors on the floor 
above the observation 
room. Eventually, 
subjects agreed to 
perform the ritual 
citing "fear of known 
more than the 
unknown" as their 
reasoning. 


The ritual itself was 
significantly more 
severe than past 
rituals. The tendon 
from the bottom of 
D-2129's foot had to 
be removed before the 
ritual. D-2129 was 
administered local 
anesthetic before Dr. 
Marberry surgically 
removed the tendon. 
Once, removed, the 
ritual began. 
Throughout the ritual, 
anomalous events 
occurred. 


The first step adhered 
the heels of D-2129 
and D-990 together. 
When the tendon of 


D-2129 was placed 
next to D-990's foot, it 
stretched, wrapping 
around the circle 
formed by the 
subjects’ feet. When 
period key was placed 
into D-2129's eye, it 
fused with his existing 
eye, completely 
replacing it. During the 
time that the subjects 
stared into each 
other's eyes, the entire 
room morphed into a 
room Dr. Marberry 
recognized as a 
standard D Class 
dormitory. The 
observational window 
continued to exist, but 
surveillance video 
ceased as cameras 
merged with the walls. 


Subsequently, D-990 
picked up the 
scissors, moving 
mechanically and with 
much purpose. D-990 
spoke out-loud: 
"Marching through the 
high of March, | found 
what | believed to be 
the cog that turned the 
world. But | was 
mistaken. It was not a 
cog, it was not made 
of any alloy found in 
this world. It did not 


anything. No raids, no infiltration... nothing. And | can't 
believe he'd just abandon us. At first | thought it was just 
because he was your prisoner — 


Dr. Gladstone: | can't confirm or deny that. 


SCP-237-2-9: Doctor. We know you caught him. We saw 
you catch him, that first day, before you caught us. It's 
just that most of the others think he escaped somehow. 
And Office [SCP-237-2-8] and Skinny [SCP-237-2-6] 
think that what you caught was a decoy. 


Dr. Gladstone: But you don't believe that? 


SCP-237-2-9: Oh, no, no, no. | wish | believed he was 
smart enough to make a decoy. But he... well. | suppose 
he wasn't stupid, otherwise | wouldn't be smart, but | 
suppose he was... nave? 


Dr. Gladstone: "Naive". It's from the French. 


SCP-237-2-9: Ah, thank you. Naive. That's what he was, 
yes. And now... <sighs> ...now he's dead. Isn't he. 


Dr. Gladstone: Again, | can't — 


SCP-237-2-9: — can't confirm or deny, right. Honestly, 
though, it's the only explanation that makes sense. You 
let us see each other, but not him? You let us — them — 
have clay for repairs, but we have to do it ourselves 
instead of having him do it? He's dead. I... | hope he 
didn't suffer. 


Dr. Gladstone: | can't comment on that. I'm really, really 
sorry. You understand. 


SCP-237-2-9: Yeah. Yeah, | do. Honestly, we're 
probably better off with you than with him. 


Dr. Gladstone: How so? 


SCP-237-2-9: You saw his videos. You saw how quickly 


turn the world, it 
consumed it." 


D-990 then cut the 
stretched tendon 
which snapped back 
into place next to his 
foot. D-2129 then 
spoke: "It was me, | 
am the miraculous 
one that calls for you 
to answer me." The 
mechanical creature 
then grew from the 
tendon. A recording of 
the creature's speech 
has been submitted 
for analysis and Dr. 
Marberry is optimistic 
of its chances of being

SCP-2106: A Conspiracy of Ravens 


Item #: SCP-2106 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-2106-1 
are to be kept within the multiple subject aviary at Site-64. 
Instances are to be fed twice a day and individually examined for 
injury and general health on site every two weeks. In the event that 
an instance of SCP-2106-1 expires, it is to be immediately replaced 
by an additional specimen of Corvus corax. |In the event of an 
SCP-1505 outbreak, contaminated instances of SCP-2106-1 are to 
be immediately isolated and neutralized. 


The following items are to be left within the aviary for ease of 
interaction during the appearance of SCP-2106-2 instances: 


* One pair of boots. 

* One trench coat. 

* One pair of gloves. 

* One standard pad of paper 
¢ Three black ballpoint pens. 


Description: SCP-2106-1 currently designates a total of 40 
specimens of Corvus corax'. Individually, each instance is 
indistinguishable from non-anomalous specimens of the same 
species. The anomalous properties of SCP-2106-1 become 
apparent between the hours of 2200 and 0800 PST. During this time 
period all instances of 2106-1 will fall asleep before waking 15 
minutes later to move to a central location where they form 
SCP-2106-2. 


SCP-2106-2 is a humanoid entity formed from the combined bodies 
of all available instances of 2106-1. If provided clothing, 2106-1 
instances will form 2106-2 within the articles, including filling such 
items as boots and gloves. SCP-2106-2 is fully sapient, and has 


demonstrated fluency in English and the ability to communicate via 
both writing and mimicry of human speech. According to interviews, 
2106-2 believes itself to be an individual named Jessica Bradley, a 
45 year old Caucasian female from Tillamook, Oregon, USA. 
SCP-2106-2 has been able to provide detailed accounts of its life as 
Ms. Bradley up to 09/11/2011, but has no knowledge as to how it 
came to exist in its current state. SCP-2106-2 has largely been 
cooperative with Foundation personnel to date. 


A minimum of 25 instances of 2106-1 are required for SCP-2106-2 
to successfully form. In the event that fewer than 25 instances of 
2106-1 are present at 2200, or if anyone attempts to remove an 
instance of 2106-1 from the aviary, all instances of 2106-1 will 
swarm. During these swarm events, instances 2106-1 have 
demonstrated remarkably collaborative behavior including: 


« Attempts to operate door handles. 

¢ Setting up rudimentary traps/ambushes for Foundation 
personnel. 

* Slamming into observation windows en masse. 

* Scratching crude messages/images in the ground in English. 


Individual instances of 2106-1 that are removed from a 50 meter 
radius of all other instances lose their anomalous properties at 0800 
following the dissipation of SCP-2106-2. Likewise, non-anomalous 
specimen of Corvus corax become instances of 2106-1 when placed 
within 50 meters of 2106-1 instances at 2200. It is currently 
unknown as to whether SCP-2106-2 would be capable of forming 
again should all instances of 2106-1 be dissipated. 


Recovery Log: SCP-2106-2 was originally recovered on 

15/11/2011 from the private aviary at the residence of Jessica 
Bradley outside of Tillamook, Oregon, USA, following viral footage of 
SCP-2106-2 walking along the Oregon coast. Upon investigation, 
Foundation personnel found the body of Jessica Bradley within her 
bed. A subsequent autopsy of Ms. Bradley revealed that the cause 
of death to have been an intracerebral hemorrhage. All original 30 
instances of 2106-1 were pets that had been kept by Ms. Bradley 
prior to her death. 


Addendum 2106-A: Interview Log 2106-1 


The following interview was conducted as part of the 
initial containment of SCP-2106-2. 


Interviewed: SCP-2106-2 
Interviewer: Dr. Daniel Aeslinger 


Foreword: This interview was done at the end of a 
standard mental health screening. During interviews prior 
to this screening, SCP-2106-2 revealed that it 
remembered the actions of a researcher who had 
examined several instances of 2106-1 during standard 
veterinary examinations. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Aeslinger: Alright, Jessica. Before we finish this 
session | have just one more topic that | would like to go 
over with you. 


SCP-2106-2: Okay. What do you want to know? 


Dr. Aeslinger: During our last interview you mentioned 
several details you remembered about Researcher 
Ferro’s veterinary inspection on one of the ravens that 
makes up your body. Would you care to elaborate? 


SCP-2106-2: It’s hard to explain. In the morning | sort of 
feel like I’m falling asleep. Most of the time | just blackout 
and the next thing | know I’m awake again and you guys 
are telling me that it’s the next day. However, sometimes 
| dream, or at least | think I’m dreaming. When | dream, 
I’m always a raven somewhere in this aviary. 


Dr. Aeslinger: Go on... 


SCP-2106-2: The thing is, usually the dreams aren't that 
exciting. | just kind of go with the flow. Act like | think a 
raven should. It’s kind of nice, you know? It’s like slowing 
your mind down and throwing your worries away. 
Everything just becomes so simple. That time it was 
different though. That man grabbed me and looked me 


over. He poked and prodded me. It was awful. Just the 
worst feeling ever. | don’t think I’ve ever been more 
terrified. Keep in mind | woke up one day to find out | 
was suddenly made of birds. 


Dr. Aeslinger: Interesting. 
SCP-2106-2: What? 


Dr. Aeslinger: You are aware that the ravens that 
compose your body fall asleep before they form you 
every evening, yes? 


SCP-2106-2: Wow, really? No. | wasn’t aware. 


SCP-2106-2 pauses for several moments before 
continuing to write. 


SCP-2106-2: Do you think they dream about being me? 
Can ravens even dream? 


Dr. Aeslinger: | don’t know, Jessica. Maybe? 
SCP-2106-2: Maybe... 
<End Log> 

Addendum 2106-B: Interview Log 2106-2 


The following interview was conducted following several 
swarm events. 


Interviewed: SCP-2106-2 
Interviewer: Researcher Roland Ferro 


Foreword: This interview was done following a series of 
testing and observations on 2106-1 collectivist behavior 
during swarm events. Upon SCP-2106-2’s appearance, it 
moved to the back corner of the aviary and entered the 
fetal position. 


<Begin Log> 


Researcher Ferro: Jessica? What’s... what’s going on? 
Everything alright? 


SCP-2106-2: You have to stop doing that... 


Researcher Ferro: |’m sorry, | don’t follow you. Stop 
doing what? 


SCP-2106-2: The swarms! Stop making them swarm. 
Please! It's like a nightmare. Just fucking stop! 


Researcher Ferro: I’m going to need you to elaborate a 
little more than that, Jessica. Why do we need to stop 
the swarms? What happens to you when we trigger 
those events? 


SCP-2106-2: It’s like having my mind pulled ina 
thousand directions. Normally when 8 AM hits | just 
dream that I’m one raven. It’s nice. It’s simple. It’s safe. 
But this... it’s not that. | get bounced around from one 
point of view to another. From one raven to the next. 
Each one is desperate and afraid and searching for a 
way to survive. And every time | get moved around those 
feelings renew. Each raven leaves a stain on my mind 
that | can’t get out. | still feel their consciousness digging 
around in the back of my head... They like being me. 


Researcher Ferro: They like being you? 


SCP-2106-2: They love it! | like being a raven because it 
makes everything so simple. They like being me 
because it makes everything so complex. Every time you 
make them swarm it’s because they don’t want to give it 
up. Please. I’ve done everything you have wanted me to 
do. | have always cooperated. Please. Don’t do that 
anymore. 


Researcher Ferro: | can’t just make a promise like... 


All instances of 2106-1 composing SCP-2106-2 begin to 


croak loudly. All attempts at further communication with 
SCP-2106-2 by Researcher Ferro are unsuccessful. The 
croaking continues until 0800. 


<End Log> 


Following the conclusion of this interview, all attempts by foundation 
personnel to verbally communicate with 2106-2 have been blocked 
by 2106-1 croaking. 2106-2 has been able to successfully 
communicate via writing notes for Foundation personnel. Instances 
of 2106-1 have been observed destroying these notes and attacking 
personnel attempting to retrieve these notes following 2106-2 
dissipation at 0800. 


As of 25/11/2012 a one-way dropbox has been installed in the aviary 
to allow for continuous communication with 2106-2 without further 
2106-1 interference.

Dr. Gladstone: Yes... 
SCP-237-2-9: So why aren't there more of us? 
Dr. Gladstone: | don't— 


SCP-237-2-9: There were more of us, but he unmade 
them. He kept getting bored with us, or unsatisfied... 
dissatisfied? 


Dr. Gladstone: Ah, | believe either word will do here. 


SCP-237-2-9: He kept being dissatisfied with us. And

happened to Dog, and Clown, and Nun, and Princess... 
they're just gone. You realize Baby [SCP-237-2-5] is the

felt bad about putting so much detail into the parts of a 
naked baby girl. So he mashed her up, and made a boy. 
That didn't last either — same reason. Finally he decided 
babies don't need gender, so that's Baby now.

thank you. 


SCP-237-2-9: And then there's Faceless [SCP-237-2-4] 
and Gothic [SCP-237-2-10] and Gymnast 
[SCP-237-2-11] — if he would have just taken the extra 
time to finish making with their details before giving them 
life... well, | can't blame him. 


Dr. Gladstone: Why not? 


SCP-237-2-9: ... no, you don't understand. Earlier, | said 
| can't believe he'd just abandon us? | mean that literally. 
| can't. Just like | can't blame him. None of us can.

SCP-2107: Diet Ghost™ 


Item #: SCP-2107 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-2107 are 
to be stored in a CNSI! containment locker at Site 19. Any number 
of instances may be moved to a refrigerated CNSI unit in advance of 
experimental trials. 


Mobile Containment Task Force Theta-61 ("Carbonation-Based 
Lifeforms") is responsible for coordinating routine screenings for 
new instances of SCP-2107 at retail venues which are considered 
probable locations for appearance. Newly discovered instances are 
to be acquired by conventional methods when possible. For larger 
quantities or in cases where a retailer's proprietor is deemed likely to 
become problematic, Acquisition Protocols 0014 ("Covert Theft"), 
0015 ("Overt Theft"), and 0047 ("Impersonation of Federal Agency") 
may be utilized with authorization from staff with security clearance 
3/2107 or higher. Individuals exposed to the anomalous properties 
of SCP-2107 are to be treated with Class A amnestics and remitted 
to the nearest civilian hospital for any medical care rendered 
necessary following exposure. 


Description: SCP-2107 designates a soft drink brand known as 
"Diet Ghost™" which displays anomalous properties when imbibed.2 
SCP-2107 has to date only been encountered packaged by the 
individual can. Within three to seven minutes of ingestion, subjects 
(classified SCP-2107-a) begin to experience paranormal activity that 
most often falls within the colloquial expectations of an individual 
being haunted by a ghost or other paranormal entity. The effect 
continues until an as of yet undetermined point in the breakdown of 
SCP-2107 within the subject's body, approximately one to three 
hours after ingestion.3 Research has confirmed that the intensity of 
the haunting effect (herein defined by the quantity of individual 
paranormal facets, the probability of physical harm, and the severity 


of said harm) is directly proportional to the quantity of SCP-2107 
imbibed. 


SCP-2107 cans are the traditional variety used for soft drinks, being 
uniform in design and non-anomalous in composition and behavior. 
The can features a light blue background with the "DIET GHOST™" 
logo prominently featured. The catchphrase "SCARE YOUR 
THIRST!" appears beneath the logo. Most instances also have a 
sticker on the can with the text "MADE WITH NATURAL GHOSTS!" 
printed on it; it is unclear if cans lacking this sticker were distributed 
this way or if the sticker was removed before acquisition. The cans 
bear no nutritional information. The liquid contents are non- 
anomalous in chemical composition and within normal parameters 
for a traditional diet soft drink. 


Discovery: Initial discovery occurred on 05/13/2012 when seven 
cans of SCP-2107 were purchased by Foundation personnel at a 
local supermarket in , during a routine restocking of Site 19's 
recreational facilities. The partial remains of H T  ,a Senior 
Maintenance Assistant at Site 19, were found inside the van 
requisitioned from Site 19's vehicle pool for the purposes of the trip. 
Two cans were open and empty of contents when recovered. J 

B , the Junior Maintenance Assistant who had been assigned 
with T for the restocking duty, had gone back into the 
supermarket after having forgotten to procure a copy of the receipt 
of purchase for Foundation records. According to B 's account 
T was alone for no longer than approximately five minutes. 


A majority of discoveries have occurred in convenience stores, with 
acquisitions from supermarkets and restaurants accounting for 
nearly all additional cases.4 Employees of retail locations where 
instances have been discovered have professed no prior knowledge 
of the product's existence and records of inventory acquisition have 
shown no references to SCP-2107. SCP-2107 has now been 
recovered from retailers in 37 states and 2 Canadian provinces. 
Production and distribution of SCP-2107 is currently under 
investigation.

simultaneously, 
the recording

to encounter 
interference of a 
magnetic nature 
that lasted for two 
minutes. This is 
noted as the first 
instance where 
activity was 
observable by 
non-SCP-2107-a 
sources in 
Foundation trials. 
The bleeding 
continued 
unabated for 
several minutes,

distress to the 
subject. All effects 
ceased at 07:28.

identical to those 
described by the 
subject in Trial 01. 
Subject's nose 
began to bleed at 
the 00:19 mark. At 
00:23, subject 
began emesis due 
to a combination 
of distress and 
nausea caused by 
the presence of 
their own blood; 
this is evaluated to 
be purely 
physiological in 
nature and non- 
anomalous. 
Following emesis, 
a majority of the 
activity ceased; 
subject reported 
still having 
intermittent 
hallucinations in 
his peripheral 
vision until 00:48. 
Subject began to 
experience 
phenomena 
similar to previous 
trials at 00:02

personnel; subject 
reported the 
feeling of being 
lifted off the 
ground during this 
effect but this is 
not visible in the 
footage. Quantity 
of activity is 
approximate to 
previous trials but 
level of intensity is 
significantly higher 
as reported by 
subject. Effects 
began to subside 
at 00:54 and had 
ceased entirely at 
00:59. Subject 
observed taste as 
“average” but 
expressed 
difficulty in 
elaborating upon 
this description. 
Subject 
experienced no 
activity until 00:31, 
at which point all 
electronics within 
a 10m radius 
failed for 
approximately 
seventeen 
seconds. When 
power returned, 
subject had fallen 
to the ground 
unconscious and 
the trial was 


ended. Personnel 
entered the 
containment cell 
and confirmed the 
subject had 
expired. Upon 
autopsy, subject's 
body was found to 
be void of most 
major internal 
organs; no incision 
marks or signs of 
trauma were 
present. 


Note: Future experiments are suspended without 
authorization from staff with security clearance 4/2107. 


Addendum 12/27/2014: Area personnel have encountered and 
acquired a previously undiscovered packaging variant. Fifteen cans 
were produced by a vending machine in Area_'s cafeteria; when the 
machine was opened for further inspection no anomalous properties 
were discovered. These new instances of SCP-2107 feature 
changes to the design of the background, which now features white 
silhouettes of tombstones, cats, and cartoonish ghosts interspersed 
between iterations of the logo. Of note is the addition of new stickers 
to the can in the same font as the catchphrase text. These stickers 
include new promotional phrases, including "FROM THE MAKERS 
OF GHOST™!", "100% MORE SPOOKY", "SCARE-TISFACTION 
GUARANTEED", and "YOUR OLD FAVORITE IS BACK". All 
instances of SCP-2107 from Area are en route to Site 19 for 
containment and research trials to confirm whether their contents 
produce the same anomalous activity as previously recorded 
instances. The addition of vending machines to the list of 
provenance locations is under investigation, with revisions to Object 
Class and Special Containment Procedures awaiting approval.

3. Premature depletion of SCP-2107 through unusual means, such 
as emesis, gastric lavage, or the removal of organs currently 
containing the fluid from their appropriate bodily systems, causes 
partial or total cessation of the effect. The death of SCP-2107-a will 
result in total cessation of all effects caused by their ingestion. 

4. Despite the assessment of at least 46 anomalous events 
suggesting the ingestion of SCP-2107 as the causation factor, 
markedly few instances have been recovered outside of retail 
environments.

SCP-2108: Another Sun 


Item #: SCP-2108 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The abandoned warehouse 
building containing SCP-2108 has been acquired by the Foundation 
and designated Containment Site-2108 Core. No Foundation 
personnel are to enter Site-2108 Core unless strictly necessary for 
testing; the general operations of Site-2108 are to take place in the 
Site's other buildings. Site-2108 Core is to remain under security 
appropriate for a sensitive Foundation site. Wherever possible, 
objects and conditions known to affect SCP-2108's properties are to 
be managed within known minimally-disruptive ranges. 


SCP-2108 itself is to be kept under constant surveillance in a 
sealed, opaque room. Attempts to move SCP-2108 or otherwise 
alter its properties should be avoided. The containment chamber is 
to be cleaned daily by remote-control or automated drones, to 
remove all living organisms massing more than 0.5 g. 


Living organisms are not to be exposed to SCP-2108 or SCP-2108- 
A. Video should be converted to grayscale or false color before 
viewing. When direct observation is necessary, personnel should 
wear full-body opaque clothing with goggles tinted to block 
SCP-2108-A's characteristic spectral peaks. SCP-2108-A skin 
exposure of 80 J/kg in any ten-week period is disqualifying for 
further SCP-2108 interaction. 


Instances of SCP-2108-B are to be contained in species-appropriate 
enclosures at least 10 km from Site-2108, except when authorized 
for testing. Deliberately creating instances of SCP-2108-B requires 
prior authorization from the SCP-2108 project lead, and in all cases 
must use the fewest and least massive subjects possible. 


Description: SCP-2108 is a luminous object resembling a miniature 


star with a chromosphere 1-4 m in diameter, ranging in color from 
yellow-orange to green. It is selectively intangible and possibly non- 
material, but appears similar in structure and composition to a main- 
sequence star of roughly one solar mass; its surface bears visible 
granules and sunspots, it appears to undergo periodic flares, and it 
has a gaseous corona 0.5-6 m deep. It emits 1.8-15.3 kW of light, a 
biologically insignificant level of exotic [DATA REDACTED] 
radiation, and very little radiant heat. It cannot be moved or affected 
by deliberate physical manipulation, except by some instances of 
SCP-2108-B (see below). 


SCP-2108's specific properties, such as size, location, mass, 
absolute luminosity, spectrum, etc., vary in poorly-understood ways. 
All of its properties are correlated nonlinearly with one another as 
well as with at least twelve other factors. These additional correlates 
have not been fully enumerated, but are believed to include the 
current solar-wind flux; strong local magnetic fields; the movement 
of all Corvus individuals within 13 m of the object; the extent of the 
next predicted solar and lunar eclipses; the time elapsed since a 
runaway nuclear fission reaction took place in the Northern 
Hemisphere; and the number and combined mass of extant 
SCP-2108-B instances. 


Light and radiation emitted from SCP-2108 is designated SCP-2108- 
A. Its spectrum varies somewhat, as do all of SCP-2108's 
properties, but always retains characteristic peaks at 663, 615, 448, 
and 297 nm (i.e. in the red, orange, indigo, and near ultraviolet). In 
addition, the object's exotic-radiation output is its only predictable 
property: it is always a known function of SCP-2108-A's 
electromagnetic spectrum. ! 


Intense or prolonged exposure to unmodified SCP-2108-A causes a 
poorly-characterized transformative syndrome in living organisms, 
which are then designated SCP-2108-B. The speed and discomfort 
of SCP-2108-B conversion are directly proportional to the speed and 
intensity with which the transformative SCP-2108-A dose was 
delivered.2 Without continued SCP-2108-A exposure, instances of 
SCP-2108-B invariably revert to their original state within eight 
weeks. (See Addendum 2108-E-46693.) 


The changes present in SCP-2108-B are believed to result, at least 


similarities withSCP-2101suggest that these anomalies may 
descend from the same anomalous sculpting tradition. 


« SCP-236 | SCP-237 | SCP-238 » 


in part, from protein-folding interference by novel substances 
produced upon skin absorption of SCP-2108-A. The precise effects 
vary between taxa, but generally include an increase in external 
pigmentation; production of novel pigments with absorption spectra 
related to SCP-2108-A; and, in autotrophic organisms, a novel set of 
photosynthetic organelles and pathways better optimized for use of 
SCP-2108-A. Structural and organ-level effects are usually subtle, 
with more pronounced changes affecting the organism's metabolism 
and biochemistry. Extended exposure may produce more dramatic 
structural effects; testing proposals are currently under review. See 
Addendum 2108-1 for a partial list of SCP-2108-B alterations. 


Addendum 2108-1 
Selected Excerpts from Test Log 2108-B 


Test 1 

Subject: Three mature American goldenrod (Euthamia 
graminifolia) plants, in fruit 

SCP-2108-A exposure: Discovered with SCP-2108 in 
Site-2108 Core; total dosage unknown. 

Conversion period: Unknown 

Results: Initial discovery of SCP-2108-B. Plants' leaves 
distinctly longer and thinner than typical for E. 
graminifolia. Leaf and stem surface pigmentation 
purplish-blue with slight cyan iridescence, apparently a 
protective "sunscreen" layer; underlying tissues deep 
blue-green due to development of SCP-2108-B-typical 
photosynthetic systems. Fruits rich in several 
uncharacterized alkaloids. After removal from SCP-2108- 
A, plants recovered entirely within 8 weeks. 


Test 3 

Subject: Colony of carpenter ants (Camponotus 
pensylvanicus), >200 individuals 

Exposure: Discovered with SCP-2108 in Site-2108 
Core; total dosage unknown 

Conversion period: Unknown 

Results: Dosage presumably proportional to time spent 
outside the nest, as effects were most pronounced in the 


workers tasked with foraging. Thorax, legs, and 
mandibles coated in several thin layers of translucent, 
deep-orange wax, and comblike chitinous appendages 
developed on the dorsal antennae. Signaling 
pheromones almost completely replaced with a novel set 
of chemicals; resultant confusion between foraging 
workers and larva-care workers likely caused the 
colony's rapid decline. Queen completely unaffected, but 
killed by alkaloid poisoning after being fed seeds of 
affected goldenrod; colony then collapsed completely. 


Test 9 

Subject: 2 albino Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus), 
female, 18 months old, 330-375 g 

Exposure: 160 J/kg / full body skin, fur, and eye / 240 
minutes 

Conversion period: 66 hours 

Results: Exposed skin developed light gray 
pigmentation; fur developed dark blue-gray pigmentation 
with dark blue mottled markings whose exact patterns 
differed by individual. Behavior during conversion period 
did not suggest any particular discomfort. Animals 
recovered within 3 weeks. 


Test 10 

Subject: 2 albino Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus), 
female, 18 months old, 335-360 g 

Exposure: 160 J/kg / full body skin, fur, and eye / 10 
minutes 

Conversion period: 75 minutes 

Results: Comparable to Test 9, but with additional slight 
elongation of tail vertebrae and hind legs. Subjects 
chewed and clawed at legs and tails until restrained, with 
vocalizations suggesting discomfort and/or pain. Joint 
swelling, colorful urine, and other symptoms of 
endogenous pigment poisoning abated within 24 hours; 
animals recovered within 3 weeks. 


Test 11 
Subject: 2 albino Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus), 


female, 18 months old, 320-370 g 

Exposure: 160 J/kg / full body skin, fur, and eye / 240 
minutes. Light used was an exact match to SCP-2108- 
A's current spectrum, generated by filtered floodlamps. 
Conversion period: n/a 

Results: No effect. 


Test 12 

Subject: Same individuals as Test 11 

Exposure: 90 J/kg / full body skin, fur, and eye / 240 
minutes. Light used was live, full-color surveillance video 
of SCP-2108. 

Conversion period: 80 hours 

Results: Effectively identical to Test 9. 


Test 15 

Subject: Human, male, 27 years, 79 kg (D-2108-14) 
Exposure: 160 J/kg / 20 cm2 skin, torso / 240 minutes 
Conversion period: 12.5 hours 

Results: All skin developed purplish-brown pigmentation 
with short blue-green ventral stripes. Subject reported 
altered color vision, as well as difficulty speaking and 
eating due to excessive salivation. Blood rich in a novel 
substance with significant stimulant effects in mouse 
models but none in the subject himself. Recovered within 
3 weeks. 


Test 16 

Subject: Human, male, 27 years, 79 kg (D-2108-14) 
Exposure: 160 J/kg / 20 cm2 skin, torso / 240 minutes 
Note: D-2108-14 was re-exposed after recovering fully 
from Test 15. 

Conversion period: 3 hours 

Results: Comparable to Test 15, but with additional 
complications of the shorter conversion period: joint 
swelling, muscle spasms, mild hemophilia, greater loss 
of vision, and colorful body fluids. Symptoms abated 
within 36 hours; subject recovered within 7 weeks. 
Repeated re-exposure tests pending approval. 


Test 


Subject: Human, female, 38 years, 64 kg ( . ) 
Exposure: Accidental, 125 J/kg / 5 cm2 skin and eye /5 
seconds (post hoc estimation) 

Conversion period: 5 minutes (post hoc estimation) 
Results: Skin developed purplish-brown pigmentation 
with blue-green ventral mottling; color vision altered, 
apparently tetrachromatic; skin hairs replaced by chaffy 
oval structures with rudimentary photosynthetic capacity. 
Onset of SCP-2108-B characteristics was swift enough 
to cause immediate, severe endogenous poisoning: 
symptoms included muscle spasms, systemic neuralgia, 
temporary blindness, and acute renal failure. Poisoning 
symptoms abated in 3 weeks with inpatient care; severe 
sunburn on exposed side of face healed normally; 
subject recovered fully within 8 weeks. 


Addendum 2108-2 
Incident Report E-31181-A 


On 12 February 2014, Agent Erin Moynahan, 
Researcher Thom Saint-Jacques, and Researcher 
Chelsea Elliott, representatives from MTF Theta-—4 
("Gardeners"), arrived at the future Site-2108 to 
assist in early field study of the anomalies that would 
collectively be designated SCP-2108. At the time, 
SCP-2108-A and -B were collectively designated 
E-31181; SCP-2108 itself had not yet been discovered. 


The MTF ©-4 personnel were directed to the SCP-2108- 
B entities, which consisted of scattered vegetation 
growing in the cracks of the concrete warehouse floor, 
and began initial examination after establishing basic 
field precautions. However, when Dr. Elliott attempted to 
examine a leaf sample through a small magnifying lens, 
she received a burst of concentrated SCP-2108-A. The 
exposure converted her into an instance of SCP-2108-B 
within five minutes; the resulting endogenous poisoning 
required hospitalization. 


Simultaneously, the sudden emergence of a large 
SCP-2108-B instance caused significant changes in 
SCP-2108's properties, most notably causing it to triple 
in diameter and luminosity while instantly relocating 4m 
straight down. This placed it below the level of the 
warehouse's skylight, simultaneously making it visible for 
the first time and irradiating all personnel present. Agent 
Moynahan, Dr. Saint-Jacques, and on-Site Agent 
Shoshanna Segel became instances of SCP-2108-B 
over the following four hours; the additional converted 
biomass caused further erratic movement of SCP-2108. 
The resulting positive feedback loop would likely have 
converted much of the surrounding city if not for routine 
testing at Provisional Site- , in which SCP- - 
underwent its weekly partial core meltdown, resetting 
one of SCP-2108's major property correlates and 
instantly relocating it to a position inside Site-2108 Core. 


Strategic application of disinformation and amnestics 
ensured no lasting public exposure. All personnel 
converted to SCP-2108-B recovered within eight weeks. 
(See Addendum 2108-E-46693 for records of extended 
observation.) 


Addendum 2108-E-46693 
[Enter 5/2108/E-46693 authorization code to continue.] 


Like the other personnel involved in Incident E-31181-A, 
Dr. Elliott appeared to recover completely from the 
effects of SCP-2108-B conversion; she completed 
quarantine and was cleared for duty upon recovering 
fully from her injuries. However, recent events indicate 
that this assessment was premature. 


Routine surveillance carried out on Dr. Elliott after the 
incident revealed irregularities in her eating habits; 
although initially consistent with her established habits, 
these disturbances grew steadily more pronounced after 
the incident. When she fasted for sixteen straight days in 


late April, with neither any apparent preparation nor any 
ill effects, her case was flagged for closer and more 
prolonged examination. 


Over the following months, surveillance established that 
Dr. Elliott's food consumption patterns are closely 
correlated with her exposure to daylight or comparable 
full-spectrum lamps. She also displays marked 
symptoms of seasonal-affective disorder, despite no 
history of the condition, for which she self-medicated with 
full-spectrum lamps. Additionally, on seven separate 
occasions in May and June, she was briefly hospitalized 
for acute accidental poisoning; all seven incidents 
appear to have been caused by plant toxins whose 
sources were either entirely absent or available only in 
quantities far smaller than apparently ingested.4 The 
origin of the toxins is unknown. 


Taken together, these phenomena suggest that Dr. 
Elliott has acquired anomalous properties beyond those 
characteristic of SCP-2108-B, which have persisted and 
strengthened since the incident. She has been 
provisionally classified as E-46693; proceedings to 
classify her as an SCP object were filed in June 2014, 
but have since been postponed indefinitely pending O5 
review.

3. Before Incident E-31181-A, SCP-2108-A shone through the 
skylight of Site-2108 Core, but SCP-2108 was not visible from 
outside the building. This phenomenon has not recurred and 
remains unexplained. 

4. The toxins included black walnut hull extract; caffeine, in 
concentrations greater than could have been ingested normally; and 


aconite sap, in sublethal doses.

SCP-2109: A Tragic Accident 


Item #: SCP-2109 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Information regarding 
SCP-2109 is largely self-containing and requires no information 
suppression on behalf of the Foundation. 


The detection of potential SCP-2109 cases is to be handled by 
automated systems designed for this purpose. Such systems are 
designed to detect discrepancies in legal, medical, press and 
bureaucratic documents associated with SCP-2109. Personnel 
involved in investigation of SCP-2109 are to defer to the results 
produced by such systems rather than their own judgement when 
determining the probable existence of an SCP-2109 case. 


All recordings or footage involved in SCP-2109 cases are to be 
analysed via SILVER CRESCENT! protocols. If an SCP-2109 case 
is confirmed, investigative personnel are to attempt to retrieve any 
documents or data storage devices belonging to the deceased 
which relate to mathematics or which were acquired or composed 
shortly before their death. 


Documents relating to SCP-2109 are not to be stored centrally, 
either in physical or digital form. Any location where SCP-2109 
documents are stored must be surveilled using SILVER CRESCENT 
protocols. 


Description: It should be noted that most knowledge of SCP-2109 
is not drawn from direct observation, and its existence can to a large 
extent only be inferred. 


SCP-2109 is a phenomenon affecting the deaths of certain people, 
their corpses, and all legal proceedings relating to those deaths. 
SCP-2109 is suspected to be infohazardous in nature. All cases 


affected by SCP-2109 have been deaths by natural causes, and 
have a tendency to involve students and academics, particularly 
involved in certain fields of mathematics, though this is not always 
the case. 


In all cases, the deaths are fully acknowledged to have occurred in 
circumstances, and be the result of injuries, that would usually 
suggest that the cause of death was not natural, but rather of a 
violent nature. Despite this, all deaths affected by SCP-2109 are 
known to be cases of death by natural causes. All tested human 
beings, when confronted with evidence of the death, will dismiss it 
as a natural or accidental death, apparently in defiance of evidence. 
The reason for this discrepancy is unknown — the general 
consensus amongst SCP-2109 research staff is that these deaths 
are subject to an infohazardous or memetic effect which the 
Foundation is presently unable to counter. However, the possibility 
that the individuals involved in SCP-2109 instances have undergone 
a metamorphic anomaly at the moment of death, or that SCP-2109 
causes a recurring glitch in Foundation meme-analysis software 
have also been considered. 


The deaths affected by SCP-2109 frequently coincide with the 
disappearance or destruction of documents authored by the 
deceased, as well as computers, phones and other data-storage 
devices used by them. 


SCP-2109 was discovered following detection by IAKOB, a semi- 
intelligent text analysis system designed by the Foundation to scan 
legal documentation, police transcripts and court records to identify 
potential anomalies involved in criminal incidents. Part of IAKOB’s 
role includes identifying mind-affecting and memetic anomalies. 


On //_ ,\1AKOB detected an irresolvable discrepancy between the 
findings of a coroner's inquest into the death of Dr. Simon Rice, a 
mathematician from Sheffield, United Kingdom, and the physical 
evidence provided during the trial. IAKOB determined that Mr. Rice’s 
body had received injuries that should have led the inquest to return 
a verdict of unlawful killing. These findings, although unverified by 
any human source with full knowledge of the case, have been 
verified by other meme-analysis programs and blind tests of 
unbriefed medical and legal experts@ have all indicated that, under 


normal circumstances, the death would have been considered a 


potential murder or suicide. 


Since this initial instance of SCP-2109 was indentified, between 80 
and 150 SCP-2109-affected deaths are believed to have occurred.

Detail of injuries: 
Miss D died asa

Dr. Rice died from 
exsanguination, 
resulting from a 
number of deep 
lacerations to the 
arms, neck, abdomen, 
and face. Mr. Rice's 
eyes and tongue were 
not found at the scene

SCP-238: Building Complex 


Item #: SCP-238 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-238 is currently contained 
by the original means. Current SCP protocols have proven unable to 
fully contain SCP-238. All exploration of SCP-238 is suspended until 
full, sustained containment has been achieved. Any and all 
personnel attempting to enter SCP-238 are to be physically 
restrained and moved to an outside containment area. Upkeep of 
the current barrier is top priority, and a minimum of two personnel 
are to be present at all times for upkeep and security. 


No testing, samples, or exploration may be conducted within 
SCP-238 until full containment of SCP-238 has been achieved, or 
with approval by Site Overwatch. Any and all persons entering are to 
be deemed missing, presumed dead. 


Description: SCP-238 is an enormous underground facility, with a 
single entrance on the island Shmidta to the extreme north of 
Russia. Tunnel networks have been shown to extend for thousands 
of kilometers, with major "Junctions" under [DATA EXPUNGED]. 
"Oceanic Junctions" have also been observed to include several 
connections to [DATA EXPUNGED]. When originally found, the 
entrance was sealed behind a massive wall of bricks, covered in 
carvings. This wall was removed, and exploration began. Initial tests 
showed that the walls of SCP-238 were primarily fossilized tissue of 
unknown origin. Several structures within the facility led initial 
exploration teams to conclude that SCP-238 is or was at least half 
biological. 


Shortly after discovery of a central chamber, reported to consist of 
partially rotted flesh and badly decayed metal structures, personnel 
began to disappear, and numerous accidents claimed eight lives. 
"Noises" and other hallucinations were reported, along with .

body was found. 

Mr. A died of 
asphyxiation. Melted 
remnants of a plastic 
bag were found on his 
head and neck. A 
pictogram of unknown 
significance had been 
cut into his upper back 
immediately prior to 
his death. Mr. A's 
corpse appears to 
have spontaneously 
caught fire. 

Mr.B  's heart is 
believed to have 
forcibly expelled itself 
from his chest, 
possibly as a result of 
an undiagnosed 
medical condition. The 
flesh around the 
resultant wound was 
charred. 

The deceased were 
members of an 
internet-based group 
of mathematics 
enthusiasts. All died in 
their homes as a 
result of what was 
believed to be 
accidental sharp-force 
trauma to the skull. 
Symbols, apparently 
some form of 
language or code, had 
been painted onto the

event is ongoing. 


Addendum 2109-2: Following Dr.C —_'s death and her 
identification as a SCP-2109 instance, a review of security camera 
footage from Site-26 using SILVER CRESCENT protocols revealed 
the presence of an anomalous humanoid entity in recorded footage, 
1.9 metres in height, dressed in a robe made of black cloth and 
possibly feathers, with a cylindrical headpiece which completely 
obscured its face. The entity does not appear to be human, as its 
hands appear avian and have four digits. 


This entity was first observed on 28/02/2010, entering a general 
work area at Site-26 and observing Foundation mathematicians 
engaged in discussion of SCP-_ 's output. Over the next two days 
the entity is seen to observe these mathematicians at work, often 
standing motionless in their offices for long stretches of time, before 
beginning to watch and follow Dr.C exclusively. 


No personnel appear to notice or react to the entity's presence 
during this time, and the entity was not detected during prior review 


of the security footage, which did not utilise SILVER CRESCENT 
methodology. At 10:51 EST on 02/03/2010, Level-1 employee Mr. 
E B_ was observed to have stepped around the entity upon 
passing it in a corridor, but extensive interrogation of Mr. B 
indicates that he has no recollection of this event and was likely 
unaware of the entity's presence at the time. 


At 17:56, 02/03/2010, Dr.C leaves [REDACTED], and is followed 
by the entity, which is observed by security camera in the staff 
parking facility getting in to the passenger seat of Dr.C ‘scar 
when she unlocks the vehicle. At 02:45 on 03/03/2010, the entity is 
recorded entering [REDACTED], removing Dr.C _'s severed head 
from within its clothing, and placing it in a cabinet in her office before 
leaving the site. What role the entity had in her death remains 
unknown. It is also unclear how the entity bypassed a number of 
automated security checkpoints while traversing the site. 


As a result of this new information, SCP-2109 cases are to be 
examined to determine if similar entities were present at the scenes 
of other SCP-2109-affected deaths. The significance of the cipher 
that Dr.C — was working on at the time of her death is likewise 
unknown. 


Security measures at [REDACTED] have been modified in light of 
these events, but no recurrence has been noted since.

SCP-2110: Safe Haven 


Item #: SCP-2110 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2110 is to be monitored 
on-site by at least two Level Three personnel at all times under the 
cover story of maintaining it to prevent any damage. As the site has 
been marked as a historical landmark in need of preservation by the 
Junior Gosnold's Preservation Trust, no further action should be 
needed. However, if there is a breach of knowledge to the public, 
and/or civilians are found to have successfully entered SCP-2110, 
Class-A amnestics are to be administered where necessary with 
affected individuals monitored for up to 28 days. Disinformation 
campaigns are to be undertaken to suppress any information about 
the anomalous effects of SCP-2110. 


Any personnel who are American-born, Brazilian-born, belong to the 
Wampanoag tribe, have lived on Martha's Vineyard or have had 
friends or immediate family live on Martha's Vineyard for more than 
five consecutive years are not permitted under any circumstance to 
enter SCP-2110 more than once. Any personnel who wish to 
conduct interviews with SCP-2110-1 must not be American-born, 
Brazilian-born, belong to the Wampanoag tribe, have lived on 
Martha's Vineyard or have had friends or immediate family live on 
Martha's Vineyard for more than five consecutive years. Personnel 
must submit a questionnaire two weeks in advance for overview and 
approval from the Hazardous Materials Containment Liaison 
(HMCL), and must undergo a monitoring period of 28 days after 
interviewing has finished, during which they will be cycled off-site 
until any desire to reenter SCP-2110 has worn off. 


All new information about any cases regarding individuals whose 
appearances match SCP-2110-1 are to be suppressed, and the 
current status of these cases is to be maintained. 


Description: SCP-2110 is a two-story gingerbread cottage! in Oak 
Bluffs, Massachusetts, builtin 18 . There is no recorded history of 
habitation, and it is unknown when its anomalous properties 
manifested. Observing the inside of the cottage via remote- 
controlled rover shows that the cottage is abandoned and in 
disrepair. When trying to look in through the windows on the first 
floor, the view is completely obscured by various objects such as 
curtains or furniture. Windows on the second floor appear to be 
blocked in a similar manner as the first. 


Whenever a subject enters SCP-2110, the inside of the cottage will 
be completely furnished and repaired, with furnishings and 
appliances matching architecture styles commonly used in the 
current time period. There are no electronic appliances in the 
household. SCP-2110-1 appears in the dining area and kitchen 
when SCP-2110 is entered, with food present in the dining area. All 
furnishings, appliances, and food can be removed from the home, 
although the next time a person enters the cottage, the items will 
have been replaced. All objects and food taken from SCP-2110 
have been found to be non-anomalous. Shortly after the subject 
enters SCP-2110, SCP-2110-1 will welcome them, as well as invite 
the subject over to the dining area to eat dinner with them, 
regardless of time of entry. 


SCP-2110-1 is a designation given to 7 individuals who appear in 
the cottage once a person enters. All individuals except 
SCP-2110-1-A are similar in appearance to people reported missing 
between 18 and 20 and all last seen on Martha's Vineyard2. 
Interviews with them have shown that they all act in a familial 
structure, with age and gender determining the familial role of each 
individual. Explanations as to how SCP-2110-1 arrived on Martha's 
Vineyard have not been given. However, with the exception of 
SCP-2110-1-A, all have either lived on Martha's Vineyard at some 
point in their lives, or have had friends or immediate family who have 
lived there for more than five consecutive years. SCP-2110-1 is 
aware of any technological or social advances in the public world, 
regardless of any conversation with them on the matter. 


* SCP-2110-1-A ("Father"): White, birthplace unknown, 
mid-50's, 1.9 m tall. The only individual in the group who does 


not match any known missing persons case. 

SCP-2110-1-B ("Mother"): Wampanoag, born in 
Massachusetts, late-60's, 1.7 m tall. Matches missing persons 
case from 18 from the town of , Massachusetts. 
SCP-2110-1-C ("Uncle"): Afro-Brazilian, born in Rio de 
Janeiro, late-40's, 2 m tall. Matches missing persons case 
from 19 from , Massachusetts. Interviews with 
witnesses and subjects have reported that SCP-2110-1-C is 
unable to communicate verbally, and speaks solely in 
Brazilian Sign Language, with SCP-2110-1-F giving 
translations. 

* SCP-2110-1-D - E ("Aunt and Nephew"): Brazilian, born in 
Massachusetts, mid-30's and 11, 1.65 m and 1.4 m. Matches 
missing persons case from 20 from , Massachusetts. 
SCP-2110-1-F ("Son"): Brazilian, born in Massachusetts, 20, 
1.6 m. Matches missing persons case from 20 from the town 
of , Massachusetts. 

SCP-2110-1-G ("Daughter"): White, bornin =, 21, 1.55 m. 
Formerly D-9350, used for testing the anomalous properties of 
SCP-2110 in order to artificially create a new instance of 
SCP-2110-1. 


Although the subject may leave of their own free will, they will 
usually accept SCP-2110-1's offer to eat with them. As the subject 
eats, they will report feeling at ease and comfortable with 
SCP-2110-1. During this time, SCP-2110-1 will be willing to answer 
questions. After leaving, the subject will express a desire to revisit 
SCP-2110. This will last for a time period of three days to 28 days. 
The subject can resist visiting SCP-2110 as time goes on and the 
desire to revisit wears off. However, the more times they visit 
SCP-2110, the stronger their urge will be. Class-A amnestics have 
been shown to successfully wipe any memories of SCP-2110. 


As the subject visits SCP-2110 more, they will report a closer bond 
to SCP-2110-1, relating personal history and stories about family to 
them at the request of SCP-2110-1, as well as speaking more 
casually and openly. 


After two to six visits, subjects who are American-born, Brazilian- 
born, or belong to the Wampanoag tribe will be invited to sleep on 


the second story of the cottage. According to interviews with 
SCP-2110-1, no one has declined this offer. When the subject goes 
to sleep on the second floor, regardless of any external influence or 
commands to exit the area, all video and audio feed will cut off and 
all contact will be lost with the subject. The next time someone 
enters SCP-2110, the subject will have become another instance of 
SCP-2110-1. 


Despite these effects shown across all test subjects, SCP-2110-1 
has been known to only invite subjects who are American-born, 
Brazilian-born, or belong to the Wampanoag tribe to sleep the night 
in SCP-2110.3 SCP-2110-1 claims to have not invited anyone else. 


Addendum 2110-A: SCP-2110 was discovered following a gradual 
increase of missing person reports on Martha's Vineyard, with a 
direct correlation of rumors of a haunted house featuring entities 
similar to said missing persons. After interviewing eyewitnesses 
exposed to SCP-21104, its basic effects were understood. There 
were eight instances of SCP-2110-1 at the time of initial containment 
and subsequent testing. Although interviews with eyewitnesses 
revealed a familial structure in SCP-2110-1, SCP-2110-1 individuals 
were not forthcoming in explaining their relationship or their 
individual time of joining to SCP-2110. Only testing and interviews 
done with SCP-2110-1 have provided answers. 


+ Interview Log 2110-Gamma-A 
Interviewed: SCP-2110-1 
Interviewer: D-9350 


Foreword: D-9350 has been outfitted with 
audio and video feed in order to interview 
SCP-2110-1 and to prevent SCP-2110 from 
affecting any Foundation personnel. All 
questions had been picked by Researcher 
Aquina and Supervisor Santiago, located in a 
nearby building for monitoring. As this was 
D-9350's first interview with SCP-2110, 
D-9350 was given relevant information on 
SCP-2110 in order to conduct the interview, 


and had been ordered not to answer any 
questions posed by SCP-2110-1 or to veer off- 
script unless ordered to by supervising 
personnel. 


<Begin Log, 21:32> 


[D-9350 sits with the rest of SCP-2110-1 to eat 
dinner. After joining them in a prayer with the 
insistence of SCP-2110-1 and the approval of 
supervising agents, D-9350 begins to speak.] 


D-9350: So, uh... which of you are the parents 
in this family? 


SCP-2110-1-A: Ah, | am this family's father. 

And my faithful wife (SCP-2110-1-A gestures 
to SCP-2110-1-B on its right) is their mother. 
How long have we been together now, dear? 


SCP-2110-1-B: Hmm... I'd say around 1 
years now. Our marriage really has stuck 
together for all this time, hasn't it? 


D-9350: 1 years? How old are you two then? 


SCP-2110-1-A: It's gotten harder and harder 
to recall now.. I'm in my mid-50's, and is in 
her late-60's. God has certainly blessed us to 
keep our union together, hasn't He? 


SCP-2110-1-B: My, He has. 


SCP-2110-1-E: Mamae, papai, a gente nao 
sabe de onde ela veio! 


D-9350: What'd he say? 


SCP-2110-1-D: He's asking where you came 
from. I'd like to know too, you look like you 
came out of prison. 


SCP-2110-1-A: Now now, sister, we mustn't 
turn one away because of past sins. Don't you 
remember 2 Peter 3:9? 


[SUPERFLUOUS DATA OMITTED] 


D-9350: Never had it any easier after that, 
y'know? It was the first time | landed in trouble 
at high school, and my parents weren't uh... 
weren't that pleased. | did get pretty strictly 
punished. 


[SCP-2110-1-C communicates, with 
SCP-2110-1-F giving a translation.] 


SCP-2110-1-F: "But the punishment was 
meant to show their love for you, correct?" 


D-9350: I've always doubted it. 
SCP-2110-1-E: Foi tao ruim assim? 
D-9350: Huh? 

SCP-2110-1-D: "Was it that bad?" 
D-9350: Well, | don't know if- 


[At this point, personnel order D-9350 to stop 
speaking about her criminal record and leave 
SCP-2110 to conclude the interview. D-9350 
finishes eating and announces her leave. As 
SCP-2110-1 exchange goodbyes with D-9350, 
SCP-2110-1-F approaches her.] 


SCP-2110-1-F: Goodbye, child. It was 
wonderful to have you here. We all hope you 
come again soon. God is with you, always. 


<End Log, 22:05> 


Closing Statement: In a post-interview 


analysis, D-9350 reported feeling slightly 
"elated" and "not so bad", expressing a desire 
to communicate with SCP-2110-1. D-9350 was 
then withheld from visiting SCP-2110 for a 
period of six days, after which she no longer 
expressed any intention of re-entering. 


+ Interview Log 2110-Gamma-D 
Interviewed: SCP-2110-1 
Interviewer: D-9350 


Foreword: D-9350 has been outfitted with the 
same setup as last time, and was told to talk 
naturally with SCP-2110-1 to study its 
conversation habits if not questioned or 
interviewed. Specifically, D-9350 was asked to 
continue divulging information from the 
previous interview in order to test 
SCP-2110-1's reactions. 


<Begin Log, 22:50> 


[D-9350 sits with the rest of SCP-2110-1 to eat 
dinner, joining them in the same prayer as the 
previous interviews without waiting for 
approval from observing agents. Shortly after, 
the meal commences. ] 


SCP-2110-1-E: Vocé parece nervosa! 


SCP-2110-1-D: ! Observar 0 que vocé 
estao dizendo! 


D-9350: What did he say? 


SCP-2110-1-B: It's alright, dear. I'm sure the 
nephew meant no harm in his statement. He 
simply remarked that you looked nervous. 


SCP-2110-1-F: Ah, yes. —_, you were 


and other [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Eight containment walls and associated personnel were destroyed 
by unknown means, with a survivor reporting " " 
(unconfirmed), in addition to rapidly escalating aggressive 
phenomenon by SCP-238. Replacement of the original wall has 
contained the item effectively, but new SCP containment and 
research strategies have been requested, as the current 
containment prevents in-depth exploration and experimentation. 


Addendum 238-S7: 


Upon the escape of six juvenile instances of SCP-1013, the local 
SCP Team assigned to SCP-238 reported SCP-1013 squeezing 
through the original wall and entering the underground chambers. 
After O5- , O5- , O5- , Dr. , and Dr. were notified, they 
elected to send in a single team to retrieve SCP-1013. Further 
information regarding the expedition is found in document 238-S7-A, 
with clearance level three (3) required. The end result of the retrieval 
team were six dead, two critically injured, one missing in action, and 
the six juvenile SCP-1013 instances being re-captured. Further 
research into SCP-238 will be carried out by Dr. _—_and his research 
staff, under SCP supervision.

even a god damn exit! 


Agent : You will hold your comments, Agent is currently 
covering the central chamber so nothing can escape. 


Personnel D-299: Like us? | don't see- 
Agent : Shut it! 
Personnel D-299: -why | have to- 


Agent : | said quiet! Now! 


mentioning something about yourself the last 
time you had come over. Did you want to keep 
talking about it? 


SCP-2110-1-A: Would you like more pasta on 
your plate? 


D-9350: No, thank you. I'm fine with that. 
Anyway, | would like to keep sharing. It's kind 
of something that made me nervous to share, 
though, given how religious you all are. 


SCP-2110-1-A: We have always been taught, 
as well as teach others, to love all of His 
children regardless of their history and to 
accept them into our homes. Speak freely. 


[Most SCP-2110-1 turn to look at D-9350 and 
listen, with SCP-2110-1-D and SCP-2110-1-E 
still eating.] 


D-9350: Well... when | was 16, | felt conflicted 
about myself and who | was in life. So | went 
online and found groups that | could talk to, 
right? 


[SUPERFLUOUS DATA OMITTED] 


SCP-2110-1-D: But he is a sinner! How could 
you say that God would accept that kind of sin 
into His kingdom? | knew that was a 
delinquent from the moment he entered. 


SCP-2110-1-B: Now, now, why should we turn 
away someone because of that? 


SCP-2110-1-F: wants to ask something. 
"Wouldn't this corrupt us with his sin?" 


SCP-2110-1-E: Mamae, do que vocés estao 
falando? 


SCP-2110-1-D: Nada de importante, querida. 


SCP-2110-1-A: Everyone, please, calm down 
so | can speak... 


SCP-2110-1-D: But father, we've never had to 
deal with anything like this before. What if it 
ruins our family? | don't want my child to grow 
up every day with someone like- 


SCP-2110-1-A: It is important for the nephew 
to grow up every day with her. We have 
learned to love and accept those we come into 
contact with, regardless of how we perceive 
them or their sins. Should we not do the same 
for her as we have done for others? 


[All SCP-2110-1 stops talking for 22 seconds, 
looking at one another and D-9350. After that, 
SCP-2110-1-A turns to face D-9350.] 


SCP-2110-1-A: Would you like to spend the 
night with us? | apologize for this behavior you 
have witnessed, but | can assure that you will 
be safe here. | believe everyone will come to 
accept you as | have. Do you need some time 
to think? 


[SUPERFLUOUS DATA OMITTED] 


D-9350: I've caused trouble here as well, 
right? 


SCP-2110-1-F: Then we will learn to adapt. 
Though you haven't caused trouble to begin 
with, I'm sure you won't cause anymore in the 
future for us. 


SCP-2110-1-D: Only if you're sure he won't. 


<End Log, 00:13> 


Closing Statement: At this point, Researcher 
Aquina and Supervisor Santiago told D-9350 
to accept SCP-2110-1's offer. Shortly after 
D-9350 followed SCP-2110-1-A up to the 
second floor, all visual and audio feed was cut 
and no response from D-9350 was heard 
before recordings stopped 10 minutes later. 


+ Interview Log 2110-Gamma-E 
Interviewed: SCP-2110-1 
Interviewer: Agent Hertz 


Foreword: After four weeks without any 
contact from D-9350, Agent Hertz, under 
monitoring by Researcher Aquina and 
Supervisor Santiago, was sent to interview 
SCP-2110-1 four weeks after the previous 
interview. Specifically, D-9350 (hereafter 
referred to as SCP-2110-1-G) was chosen to 
be the main interviewee in order to learn more 
about the conversion process. Agent Hertz 
was chosen due to being German-born, and 
was briefed on both SCP-2110's effects as 
well as being cleared for all previous 
interviews and logs. Agent Hertz was asked to 
answer questions posed by SCP-2110-1 as 
needed, but not to divulge information about 
his background or history at any point. 


<Begin Log, 16:42> 


[Agent Hertz enters SCP-2110, after which all 
SCP-2110-1 instances manifest. The only 
notable difference is the introduction of a new 
instance, SCP-2110-1-G, who calls over to 
Hertz and invites him to eat. After accepting 
the offer and sitting at the table to join the rest 
of the rest of SCP-2110-1, everyone but Hertz 
gets into praying position.] 


SCP-2110-1-A: Is something wrong? Don't 
you want to pray with the rest of us? 


Agent Hertz: No thanks. I'm not exactly the 
religious type. 


SCP-2110-1-G: Oh, that's alright. I'm not 
exactly either. | don't usually pray anyway, but 
this is a special case with someone new 
joining us for dinner! 


Agent Hertz: So you'd say you don't believe in 
God? 


SCP-2110-1-G: Not quite... | guess I'd believe 
in Him. Are you still sure? The prayer is 
simple, enough for the both of us to be able to 
recite it with ease anyhow. "Our Lord in 
Heaven..." 


Agent Hertz: Can you tell me what happened 
four weeks ago, when you were asked to sleep 
here? [At this point, SCP-2110-1-G pauses 
and looks up to the ceiling for two minutes, as 
the rest of the group continues the prayer 
without it, before saying "Amen" with the rest 
of the group and turning back to Hertz.] 


SCP-2110-1-G: Have you ever had a religious 
experience before? Like, a near-death 
experience and you can see the afterlife, or in 
church or by yourself and hearing someone... 
big speak? 


Agent Hertz: I'm afraid | can't really answer 
that. 


SCP-2110-1-G: So no? You haven't gone to 
church even once as a kid? 


Agent Hertz: I'm not at liberty to discuss 


information about my background. 


SCP-2110-1-G: It's hard to explain it then. | 
was sleeping, and | just woke up in the middle 
of the night. | could just hear someone 
speaking, but when | went to check, everyone 
else was fast asleep. So | went back to my 
room to sleep and then again when | was 
asleep, | could hear someone speak. | woke 
up and in front of me was this... thing. I'm still 
not sure exactly. 


Agent Hertz: Was it a humanoid? 


SCP-2110-1-G: Yeah. It was huge as well, and 
shining so bright | could barely make it out... 


SCP-2110-1-B: Sounds like an angel to me, 
my daughter. 


SCP-2110-1-G: Right, that'd explain it. | just 
laid in awe, and | thought | could hear it say 
something. | can't remember what it said, or 
why it was there. 


SCP-2110-1-F: A blessing? 


SCP-2110-1-G: I'm not sure... | was pretty 
tired that night when | went to visit, and 
mentally drained from all the fighting people 
were doing over me. Maybe | just imagined it? 


Agent Hertz: Why did you not leave the next 
day then? 


SCP-2110-1-G: Well that's another thing... 
haven't you ever felt scared as you grew up, or 
gone through some bad experiences? 


Agent Hertz: Again, I'm not at liberty to- 
SCP-2110-1-G: You probably wouldn't really 


understand if you haven't then. Finding a place 
where you'd be welcomed and cared for... 
that's something anyone would want, right? 


<End Log, 16:56> 


Closing Statement: Agent Hertz proceeded to 
end the interview shortly thereafter.

Item #: SCP-2112 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to its cultural significance 
and the period of time elapsed between its creation and the 
discovery of SCP-2112, full eradication of SCP-2112's primary 
carrier is impossible at this time. The Foundation shall liaise with the 
management of Rush and with any relevant record labels to prevent 
any future production of SCP-2112-carrying sound recordings. All 
known sound recordings carrying SCP-2112 are to be seized by the 
Foundation and archived or destroyed as deemed necessary, and 
information regarding the release of affected editions is to be 
removed from public information archives where possible. 
Foundation field personnel are to monitor stores selling used LPs or 
compact discs, online auction houses and used goods sellers, and 
digital distribution services for any appearance of SCP-2112 
carriers. 


The Foundation shall monitor all public performances by bands 
advertising themselves with any variation on the phrase "A Tribute 
to Rush", or with a name referencing the lyrics of any Rush song, for 
evidence of SCP-2112 infection. Any identified SCP-2112 infectees 
are to be detained, interviewed to identify the source of infection, 
and treated with Class-B amnesiacs. In the event of a wide-spread 
outbreak of SCP-2112, large-scale deployment of Class-E 
amnesiacs is authorized. 


Personnel with an expressed fondness for the music of Rush are 
prohibited from exposure to SCP-2112 materials and are to be 
monitored for any behavior indicative of SCP-2112 infection. 


Description: SCP-2112 is a memetic phenomenon associated with 
Caress of Steel, a record album released in 1975 by the Canadian 
progressive rock band Rush. SCP-2112 is not present on the 


original master recordings or on most common commercial releases 
of the album, and is known to manifest only on three limited-release 
editions: a quadraphonic mix of the original LP issued in 1975, a 
digital remaster issued on SACD in 1999, and a high-fidelity 
remaster issued on LP in 2011. Reproductions or copies of affected 
discs do not produce SCP-2112 phenomena, and audial 
examination of affected discs has detected no distinguishable 
differences from non-anomalous recordings other than artifacts 
caused by the remixing/remastering process. 


SCP-2112's primary anomalous effect manifests when an affected 
disc is listened to, in its entirety, by a person who identifies him/ 
herself as a fan of the music of Rush and possesses any level of 
experience in playing the electric guitar, electric bass, or drums. 
Exposed individuals will become obsessed with the idea of 
establishing a "tribute band" dedicated to performing cover versions 
of the music of Rush in public, regardless of their level of musical 
experience or current occupation or membership in other bands, and 
will attempt to seek out two other SCP-2112 infectees for that 
purpose. SCP-2112 infectees have been noted to go to any lengths 
available to achieve this goal, including resigning from their job, 
relocating to another part of the world, selling off major possessions 
in order to acquire instruments or equipment, or deliberately 
exposing others to SCP-2112 in an attempt to create potential 
bandmates. In the event that three infectees are successful in 
establishing a group, they will begin to seek out any venue that will 
allow them to perform in public and will do so as often as possible, 
performing sets composed entirely of the music of Rush in their 
original arrangements. 


The music produced by SCP-2112 infectees during live 
performances additionally serves to propagate SCP-2112 to any 
persons exposed to it. In this form, transmission of SCP-2112 
occurs much more readily than in persons exposed to the source 
discs, with any person who identifies as a fan of the music of Rush 
potentially becoming infected, whether or not they possess any 
musical skill, after approximately 15-20 minutes of exposure. Testing 
with D-Class personnel indicated that even individuals with no prior 
familiarity with Rush and only a rudimentary level of skill with any 
musical instrument have a 70% chance of becoming infected after 


approximately 2 hours of exposure to live performances by 
SCP-2112 infectees. Post-infection behavior in such individuals is 
identical to that of persons infected by exposure to the source discs. 


SCP-2112 came to the Foundation's attention on / /1982, when an 
hour-long nightly news broadcast produced by television station W 
in Portland, ME was observed to consist entirely of three of the 
network's broadcast personnel, identifying themselves as "By-Tor 
and the Snow Dogs", performing a live rendition of Rush's 1981 
album Moving Pictures. The overwhelming majority of commercials 
aired during the broadcast, rather than advertising any product or 
service, additionally portrayed various local businessmen and 
politicians performing fragments of Rush songs with varying degrees 
of skill. Upon investigation, it was found that a performance by a trio 
of infectees, broadcast on local radio station W five days earlier, 
had caused a rapid spread of SCP-2112 infection throughout the 
Portland metro area, and that approximately 73% of the region's live 
music venues had booked Rush tribute bands to perform the 
following night. Implementation of Procedure Wertham-673, followed 
by aerial dispersal of Class-E amnesiacs throughout the area, was 
deemed necessary to prevent further spread; current models 
indicate that, in the event of an unchecked SCP-2112 outbreak, the 
phenomenon would reach pandemic status within three weeks of the 
formation of the first tribute band. 


The members of Rush, in interviews conducted by the Foundation, 
have claimed no knowledge of or involvement in the creation of 
SCP-2112. 


Addendum: Memo From Project Research Manager Edvalds 


Some have questioned why SCP-21 12 warrants 
classification as Keter. It is true that SCP-2112 poses no 
direct threat to human life or the continued existence of 
the human race; were every person susceptible to 
SCP-21 12 infection to be infected, it would likely not 
result in a single fatality. What it does present, however, 
is a severe existential threat to the entirety of human 
culture, the arts, and all forms of creative work 
whatsoever. Man is a wonderfully creative animal and 
has developed a myriad of ways of expressing his

SCP-2113: Haunted Liopleurodon Skull 


Item #: SCP-2113 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2113 is stored on a raised 
platform in custom Underground Containment Chamber B-08 at Bio- 
Site 66. Underground Containment Chamber B-08 is accessed 
through two entrances; corridor B-08, accessed via floor B2 of 
Site-66’s main building, or via elevator installed in Outbuilding A-11, 
which was constructed on the surface above the chamber. Corridor 
B-08 extends directly from the main building to UCC B-08, and 
allows for uninterrupted travel directly to the observation lab. 


UCC B-08 measures 10 metres to each side and is situated at a 
depth of 90 metres underground. The observation lab sits at 5 
metres above the floor level of the chamber, with a glass wall 
permitting observation of the item and entity. 


SCP-2113-01 appears to be restricted to the immediate area around 
SCP-2113. It may occasionally pass through physical barriers in its 
containment, but a breach has been deemed highly unlikely at this 
time. 


Description: SCP-2113 is the collective fragments of an incomplete 
fossilized skull, identified as belonging to a member of the species 
Liopleurodon ferox, an aquatic pliosaurid apex predator that existed 
during the Jurassic period. The specimen was recovered ina 
damaged state, with a majority of fossil fragments embedded in a 
stone matrix with a combined weight of 133 kilograms. The 
remainder of the skeleton could not be located during SCP-2113’s 
excavation, despite efforts by paleontological teams scouring the 
area over eight months following initial recovery. 


SCP-2113-01 is a large, insubstantial entity measuring six to eight 
metres long, closely associated with SCP-2113. It is actively mobile 


and faintly luminescent, with an oblong shape that tapers to a blunt 
point near its front. Its behavior is erratic; while normally relatively 
docile, the entity has repeatedly displayed outbursts of violent 
activity resulting in mild telekinetic activity and electromagnetic 
disturbance throughout Site 66. SCP-2113-01 has not yet proven 
capable of physically manipulating its surroundings in a direct 
manner. 


Mental Effects: When in a docile state and approached by a 
human, SCP-2113-01 will vanish and not reappear until a period of 
time has passed, usually lasting between four and nine hours. Mild 
electromagnetic activity and temperature changes will often occur in 
the general vicinity of SCP-2113-01's most recent location, the 
occurrence of which is inconsistent between events. These 
disappearances are not considered to be containment breaches, 
due to the entity’s predictability in remaining near SCP-2113. 


Sporadically, SCP-2113-01 will become aggressive towards living 
biological entities approaching its containment. When in an 
aggressive state, SCP-2113-01 will remain suspended still in the air 
for periods of twenty minutes to two hours at a time, moving rapidly 
to ‘bite’ prey targets that it detects within ten metres of its location. 
Due to its non-physical nature, SCP-2113-01 has in the past shown 
capable of moving through physical barriers to reach its targets. It 
has never been seen to travel more than 100 metres from 
SCP-2113-01. 


Targets ‘bitten’ by SCP-2113-01 report immediate visual, aural, and 
tactile hallucinations, which typically last for a period of fifteen to 
twenty minutes. Additionally, they often experience severe 
depersonalization and dysphoria, which fade over the course of 
seven to twelve days. Victims are usually rendered near-catatonic 
for the duration of this initial effect. 


Experiences are relatively consistent between victims, with a 
majority reporting that they found themselves existing as a large 
animal (presumably Liopleurodon ferox) within a warm aquatic 
environment. Various activities have been reported, including, but 
not restricted to, hunting, territorial disputes with other large 
predatory fauna, and intentional beaching for an unknown reason; 
individuals with no prior knowledge of Jurassic ecology have 


accurately described the appearance of various flora and fauna 
appearing in their particular hallucinations. 


Victims of this hallucinatory effect universally describe a visceral 
disconnect from their self, and how they feel as if they are the 
animal through which these hallucinations are experienced. In most 
cases, victims in the early stages of recovery exhibit profound 
confusion and lack of coordination. Rehabilitation is gradual but 
usually successful, with all past victims of this effect having reached 
a full recovery within sixty days after the encounter. Interviewees 
have vividly described the instinctive nature of the experiences, as 
well as specific physical and emotional sensations consistent across 
events. 


Atypical Incident- // :On // ,SCP-2113-01 passed 
through the bulkhead of the observation lab and attacked 
Researcher Grier before vanishing for seventy three minutes. Mr 
Grier was rendered unconscious and could not be roused for two 
hours sixteen minutes, at which point he became conscious but 
catatonic. He was put under secure observation for several days, 
during which he lapsed into brief periods of unconsciousness at 
irregular intervals. Eleven days after the initial attack, he regained a 
measure of lucidity, and promptly volunteered an account of his 
experience. A transcribed log will not be provided here, due to the 
length and disorganized nature of his account. 


Researcher Grier's experience was markedly divergent from the 
established pattern. While initially set underwater and through the 
eyes of the animal (as expected), he proceeded to describe a vague 
event, in which the 'water [was] singing and cracking’ and that his 
‘bones were... scraped off’. He then described in detail a series of 
sensations throughout his body, as it was buried by sediment and 
remained in place for 'an impossible [length of] time’ and that he 
‘was there until after the desert (?) was gone’. It is believed that 
these sensations (described, among other things, as ‘hardening’ or a 
‘hard numb’, enunciation was unclear) corresponded to the 
fossilization process that led to the creation of SCP-2113. The 
nature of the other described event involving 'singing and breaking/ 
cracking water' is as of yet unknown, but is hypothesized to have 
contributed to the creation of SCP-2113-01. 


Approximately forty minutes after returning to consciousness, 
Researcher Grier underwent cardiac arrest brought on by persistent 
exhaustion and physiological stress. No other victim of 
SCP-2113-01's effect has undergone an event like his.

SCP-2114: Technological Rodents 


Item #: SCP-2114 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-2114 are 
to be housed in one of four standard terrariums in a soundproofed, 
BC-L1 room, equipped with an airtight door seal. Terrariums are to 
be maintained as per standard for domestic rats, with a layer of pine 
shavings (cleaned weekly), a water bottle (changed daily), an 
exercise wheel, and standard toys for pet rats. Diet is to be standard 
nutritional pellets for rodents. All feeding and maintenance is to be 
carried out by hand; under no circumstances are automated feeding 
devices to be used. 


In the event that the number of instances of SCP-2114 exceeds 
thirty (80) individuals, excess instance are to be euthanized and 
their remains incinerated. Any wild instances of SCP-2114 are to be 
destroyed. Male and female instances are to be kept strictly 
quarantined from each other except in the case of approved testing. 
Offspring of the original instances possess the same anomalous 
traits as their parents. 


All tests involving SCP-2114 are to take place in rooms sealed from 
the outside; said testing rooms are not to be unsealed until all 
instances are contained or destroyed. 


Description: SCP-2114 is the designation for a colony of Rattus 
norvegicus originally discovered in a laboratory in , ,in2od. 
They were acquired by Foundation agents pursuing reports of 
anomalous radio activity and an outbreak of auditory hallucinations. 


The laboratory in question appeared to have been abandoned for 
less than days. Investigation revealed that the laboratory was 
owned by Incorporated, but company agents denied all 
knowledge of the location and its contents. The laboratory appeared 


to have been hastily stripped of all identifying material and much of 
its equipment. All of the remaining equipment was in a state of 
disrepair, as if it had been partially diassembled and/or destroyed. 
For a full list, see Document 2114-A 


When found, only instances of SCP-2114 were alive, along with the 
material remains of additional instances. All the instances were 
dyed with a two-digit number on the back, from to inclusive and 

to inclusive; this suggests at least instances remain 
unaccounted for. 


Instances of SCP-2114 appear physically identical to the common 
white laboratory rat, and display normal behavior for their species. 
Examination has revealed no anomalous anatomical features, 
although slightly elevated levels of acetylcholine were present. It is 
assumed that SCP-2114 is cross-fertile with non-anomolous rats, 
but it is unknown whether their anomalous properties would be 
passed on to any offspring; testing is pending approval of the Site 
Director. 


When introduced to any sort of mechanism with complex moving 
parts, all instance will begin to examine it via vision, taste, and 
touch, including paws and vibrissae. After an "examination period" of 
5-10 minutes, the instances will proceed to disassemble the 
mechanism, unscrewing screws and bolts, prying apart casings, 
disconnecting wires, and otherwise undoing all connections. 
SCP-2114 has been observed to use the minimum amount of force 
necessary to disassemble the target mechanism, and damage to the 
mechanism is rare and usually minor. Instances of SCP-2114 will 
cooperate to disassemble the target mechanism, displaying unusual 
levels of coordination, thus enabling them to manipulate objects too 
large and complex for a single rat. 


If SCP-2114 finds themselves unable to effectively disassemble a 
mechanism, they may attempt minor, controlled damage; for 
example, soldered wires will be bitten through, and glued seams 
may be gnawed. In such cases, SCP-2114 appears to focus on 
gaining access to all the significant areas of the mechanism as 
opposed to complete disassembly. 


Once the target mechanism has been disassembled, all present 


instances of SCP-2114 will examine the individual components with 
noses, paws, tongues and vibrissae, passing them back and forth 
among each other. This second "examination period" is usually of 
similar length to the initial 5-10 minute period, though it may be 
longer in the case of larger mechanisms. 


Once the secondary examination period has been completed, 
SCP-2114 will proceed to reassemble the target mechanism. As 
with the disassembly process, all present instances will work 
together to reattach wires, insert pegs, and otherwise return the 
mechanism to its original state. In cases where SCP-2114 is 
physically unable to return the mechanism to its original state, it will 
be made as close as possible; for example, soldered wires that have 
been bitten off will be bent so as to maintain contact with their 
original contact points. Once the target mechanism has been 
reassembled to the best of SCP-2114's ability, the collective 
instances will appear to lose interest and resume normal rodent 
behavior.

SCP-239: The Witch Child 


Item #: SCP-239 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-239 is to be kept within a 
one room cell furnished with 1 (one) bed, 1 (one) EKG machine, and 
1 (one) IV to be filled with pentobarbital mixed with [DATA 
EXPUNGED] to be refilled daily. Under no circumstances is 
SCP-239 to be removed from her containment area at any given 
time. The walls of this cell are to be coated in a telekill-lead alloy. 
Only Class 2 personnel are allowed any contact with SCP-239 at 
any time. All personnel guarding SCP-239's containment area are to 
be equipped with Telekill headgear (SCP-148). Subject's proper 
name is Sigurros Stefansdottir. Under absolutely no condition should 
the subject ever be awakened. Any personnel found attempting to 
awaken the subject will be immediately terminated. 


Description: SCP-239 appears to be an 8-year-old girl, 1 meter in 
height and 20 kilograms in weight. Subject has shoulder-length 
blond hair. Upon closer inspection, the subject's eyes "shimmer" a 
gray-green shade. Subject seems to emit a previously undiscovered 
form of radiation, which has been named . These waves 
seem to be harmless in low concentrations but in higher 
concentrations they could break down matter on a subatomic level. 


SCP-239 seemingly has the ability to do whatever she expresses a 
will to do. Put simply, the subject can do anything that she truly 
wants to do on a basal psychological level as long as she is 
conscious. Fortunately, she only seems to be able to affect herself 
and her immediate surroundings; therefore, "If she can see it, she 
can change it." It would not be the most prudent course of action, 
however, to try to test how powerful she can be. She seems to be 
able to create and affect living matter; for example, when a D-class 
personnel accidentally caused her harm, she simply wished him 
away. Fortunately, when the subject was made to feel guilty for what 


for 132 minutes before apparently losing 
interest again; however, after a brief pause for 
normal feeding, instances returned to vehicle 
and began disassembly. Per Agent 
Alexander's orders, standard food and water 
for SCP-2114 was provided and room was 
sealed. Test continued via video surveillance. 
After approximately 3 hours, vehicle was 
observed visibly "leaning" to one side, as if it 
had sustained damage to left front wheel. 
After 8 hours, vehicle was in a clear state of 
disassembly, with engine components 
scattered over the floor. 

After 17 hours, vehicle appeared completely 
disassembled save for body and frame. 

After 21 hours, instances were observed 
transporting components under the body of 
disassembled vehicle; assume reassembly 
has begun. 

After 26 hours, flashing red lights were visible 
through openings of vehicle body. 

After 30 hours, nearby individuals began 
reporting tinnitus, mild headaches, and one 
case of sudden nausea. Test ended, and all 
instances of SCP-2114 returned to normal 
habitats. A partially-assembled mechanism 
was found under the body of the vehicle, 
consisting of approximately 20% of available 
components excluding body and frame. 
Mechanism was powered by the vehicle's 12- 
volt battery. When power was removed, 
associated symptoms ceased. Further testing 
pending.

headaches, and Researcher B_ collapsed. 
Strong interference noted in electronic devices 
asfaras meters away, and personnel as far 
as meters away reported auditory 
hallucinations, including "screaming," "a high- 
pitched whining sound" and "wailing." SCP- 
became agitated at this time, resulting in 
[REDACTED]. 

Agent Alexander entered the testing room and 
attempted without success to disengage the 
mechanism from its power supply. Failing this, 
Agent Alexander and Researcher Siemens 
physically assaulted the mechanism, knocking 
it on its side and doing significant damage, 
which ultimately disengaged the power supply. 
Headaches, electronic interference, and 
auditory hallucinations subsided within 5 
minutes. Researcher B was taken to 
Medical, and pronounced dead on arrival of a 
severe stroke.

SCP-2115: Meet Other People 


Item #: SCP-2115 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2115's domain is to be 
blocked from all major internet service providers. Type-lll 
Foundation Web Analysis Bot OMICRON-20-PSI is to track and 
delete all advertisements of SCP-2115 found in dating websites. 
Testing requires the approval of at least one Level 4 personnel. All 
conversations between instances of SCP-2115-1 and Class-D 
personnel are to be monitored and documented in 
Document-2115-38-GH. 


Update: As of 201 / / , physical contact between Class-D personel 
and instances of SCP-2115-1 is prohibited. SCP-2115-1-97-A is to 
be contained in a Class-A Incubator at Site-98's Biological Wing. 


Description: SCP-2115 is a website accessible at the domain 
"www.  . "at IP address [REDACTED]. SCP-2115 functions 
similarly to non-anomalous dating sites, allowing the users to create 
a profile in which they can include informations such as species, 
gender, biography and method of reproduction. The profile will be 
automatically created once the users have completed the application 
form. Users are able to join only if the whole application is filled. All 
text within SCP-2115 (including conversations) will be automatically 
translated in the language the users preferred in the application. 


SCP-2115-1 is the designation given to the non-human users of 
SCP-2115. Instances of SCP-2115-1 are sapient entities of 
unknown, presumably extradimensional origin, and vary greatly in 
appearance. Instances of SCP-2115-1 claim to use SCP-2115 for 
various intentions, mostly in the attempt to pursue a romantic and/or 
sexual relationship with one or more individuals. Should a user 
successfully enter in a relationship with an instance of SCP-2115-1, 
they will be able to send them a "meet" request.! Should said 


instance accept, it will manifest within 25 seconds to 1 week, 
approximately 2m in front of the user. The same scenario is possible 
should an instance of SCP-2115-1 send a "meet" request to a user. 
Following a time period of 6 hours, the entities will demanifest. 
However, some instances have shown the ability to demanifest 
before said time period. 


SCP-2115 was discovered on 201 / / , when an instance of 
SCP-2115-1 materialized in a bar in Manila, Philippines. The entity 
dematerialized before being contained by the Foundation. However, 
one of the witnesses claimed that it materialized after he sent it a 
"meet" request on what he believed was a roleplaying site. Class-B 
amnestics were administered to all the witnesses. Interviews with 
witnesses can be accessed via Interview Log-2115-A-01.

Addendum 2115-2: The following are various excerpts from Testing 
Log 2115-19. For a full list, please see Document 2115-20-IO. 


Testing Log 2115-19-A - 201 / / 


Subject(s): D-7897 (Female, 23), SCP-2115-1-38 
Entity Description: SCP-2115-1-38 is a 1.50m tall 
humanoid automaton composed of a black plastic-like 
material, vaguely resembling an adult female human. 
Procedure: As per protocol, D-7897 and SCP-2115-1-38 
exchanged messages via SCP-2115 for two weeks, and 
was then asked to send the "meet" request. Testing took 
place at Site-98's Observation Room-5. 

Results: SCP-2115-1-38 remained silent for a period of 
approximately 3 minutes, following which it promptly 
apologized, claiming it is unused to speaking with non- 
robotic beings, and that it has only recently "assumed 
emotions". D-7897 and SCP-2115-1-38 talked about 
various topics, often interrupted by the entity's inquiries, 
mostly asking if the terms it was using were politically- 
correct. Before demanifesting, SCP-2115-1-38 asked if 
its emotions were "real enough". 

Analysis: Following testing, SCP-2115-1-38 contacted 
D-7897 via her SCP-2115 account a total of 5 times, 
asking if they could meet again. The proposals of further 
testing with SCP-2115-1-38 in the future and the 
exemption of D-7897 from monthly recycling are 
currently being considered. 


Testing Log 2115-19-B - 201 / / 


Subject(s): D-7903 (Female, 26), SCP-2115-1-39 
Entity Description: SCP-2115-1-39 is a 2m long 


vermiform creature, violet in color, possessing 12 
tentacle-like appendages. SCP-2115-1-39 
communicated using a device attached near to its 
anterior end. 

Procedure: The procedure was the same as the 
previous experiments. 

Results: SCP-2115-1-39 often attempted to make 
physical contact with D-7903, despite her reluctance to 
do so. It also made offensive remarks regarding 
D-7903's body, and became indignant when she did the 
same, claiming that D-7903 was unable to "accept 
compliments". SCP-2115-1-39 dematerialized 27 
minutes after, claiming that it was the "worst date it have 
ever had". 

Analysis: D-7903 reported to be extremely surprised by 
SCP-2115-1-39's behavior, as it behaved completely 
different during their conversation period on SCP-2115. 


Testing Log 2115-19-G - 201 / / 


Subject(s): D-8021 (Male, 31), SCP-2115-1-62 

Entity Description: SCP-2115-1-62 is a 1.65m tall 
female human of Egyptian and Chinese descent, 
approximately 20 years old. SCP-2115-1-62's profile on 
SCP-2115 claims it was born on 2073/ / . Spoke in 
heavily accented English. 

Procedure: The procedure was the same as the 
previous experiments. 

Results: SCP-2115-1-62 claimed that finding human 
beings on SCP-2115 has been extremely difficult, and 
inquired D-8021 how he was able to find it. D-8021 was 
ordered to reply that he had found SCP-2115 while 
looking for dating sites. Subsequently, D-8021 was 
ordered to ask SCP-2115-1-62 who would have been the 
45th president of the United States of America, in order 
to confirm the veracity of its claims. SCP-2115-1-62, 
however, appeared notably confused by D-8021's 
question, claiming that it had no idea what "president" or 
"America" meant. 


Analysis: It is hypothesized that SCP-2115-1-62 may 
originate from a different timeline, as the 78% of history- 
related questions it answered were partially and/or 
completely incorrect. 


Testing Log 2115-19-R - 201 / / 


Subject(s): D-8991 (Male, 35), SCP-2115-1-97 

Entity Description: SCP-2115-1-97 is a 1.77m tall 
humanoid entity, pink in color and completely devoid of 
hair. SCP-2115-1-97 possessed three spherical objects 
located 4cm from its head, each 10cm in diameter. 
SCP-2115-1-97 was able to communicate via a 
rectangular device attached to its forehead. 

Procedure: The procedure was the same as the 
previous experiments. 

Results: SCP-2115-1-97 inserted a small object similar 
to a contact lens in its left eye, and provided D-8991 a 
similar object, asking him to insert it in his right eye. 
D-8991 was ordered to comply. Subsequently, 
SCP-2115-1-97 asked D-8991 to hold its left hand and to 
remain silent. D-8991 was again ordered to comply. This 
lasted for exactly 5 hours, 39 minutes and 16 seconds. 
SCP-2115-1-97 claimed that it was extremely happy, and 
dematerialized shortly after. 

Analysis: D-8991 reported that he was able to see what 
he described as a "romantic comedy", but was unable to 
recall its plotline. Following testing, SCP-2115-1-97 
deleted its account on SCP-2115. 


Addendum 2115-3: Incident 2115-Alpha. 


On 201/ / ,a 50cm tall metallic ovoid object materialized in 
Site-98's D-Block Upsilon, Dorm #12, where D-8991 used to reside,4 
four weeks after Testing Log 2115-19-R. The object contained a 
small entity, similar to an human infant of indeterminate sex, 
possessing a spherical orb 2cm in diameter located 2cm above its 
head, along with 156 10mL cylindrical flasks, all containing a white 
substance. A picture of SCP-2115-1-97 was also found within the 
object, with the following note written on its back. 


she had done, she wished him back. SCP-239's self-preservation 
instinct makes her virtually invincible while she is conscious. 
Subject's skin can not be punctured by anything excepting SCP-148. 


As a method of controlling the subject's ability, she has been told 
that she is a witch. This, besides improving morale greatly, makes 
her believe that she is unable to use her abilities outside of a pre- 
approved list of "spells" given to her by the SCP Foundation. This 
will hopefully prevent any and all attempted escapes. However, the 
subject is to be kept calm at all times to prevent any subconscious 
wish of harm to herself or others. 


Origin: SCP-239 came to to the attention of the Foundation very 
soon after her birth in , . Approximately three hours after 
subject's birth, Hospital was destroyed by an unexplained 
explosion. The press was informed that it was due to a gas leak. 
SCP teams were dispatched shortly to search the site for any 
abnormalities. The only living person they were able to locate was 
SCP-239. For the next eight years, the subject was raised under 
SCP care. 


As of ,20 , Subject is to be kept in a medically induced coma 
until further notice. This decision was made by [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


SCP-239 is permanently contained in Site-17. 


Note from Dr. , dated 12/26/04: Who the hell thought it would 
be a good idea to tell her about "Santa Claus" and then tell her that 
it was just a story?! Now we have another potential SCP to deal 
with, but we can't catch him because he is "magic". 


Dr. A. Clef's Report: My analysis of the situation has led me to the 
conclusion that SCP-239 is an unacceptable containment and 
security risk. Although several proposals have been made re: using 
her for containing other SCPs, the example of SCP-953 and others 
must serve as a stark reminder of the risks of overestimating the 
Foundation's ability to control SCPs with reality-altering powers. 


| would therefore like to make the following proposal: a piercing 
implement will be constructed of SCP-148, capable of penetrating 
SCP-239's otherwise impenetrable skin. This tool will be used to kill 


sorry i had to put you in this. i was young. her name is 
[UNINTELLIGIBLE]. pleas care of her [sic] 


The entity has now been classified as SCP-2115-1-97-A. Special 
Containment Procedures have been updated accordingly.

SCP-2116: Lonely Ragdoll 


Item #: SCP-2116 
Object Class: Euclid Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2116 is never to be further 
than 10 meters from SCP-2116-1 at any time. The individual 
designated as SCP-2116-1 is currently a female, aged 20. 
SCP-2116-1 will never willingly part with SCP-2116. When 
SCP-2116-1 expires for any reason, a replacement must be found 
within 12 hours. The age of the individual designated as 
SCP-2116-1 is irrelevant, testing has shown that when a suitable 
subject is found the anomalous nature will subside. SCP-2116-1 
must be a female subject, as males seem to be unaffected by the 
anomalous nature of SCP-2116. Once a suitable candidate has 
been located, SCP-2116 is to be handed over to the subject by a 
male researcher. Selection criteria for SCP-2116-1 is listed below in 
Addendum 1. 


Show Addendum 1 


¢ Must score mid to low on the overall Risk- 
Sophistication Treatment Inventory (RST-1). 

¢ Must score low on the Sophistication-Maturity (S) 
cluster. 

¢ Must score low on the Cognitive (S-Cog) cluster. 

« Must score mid to low on the Emotional (S-Emo) 
cluster. 


In addition, the subject must meet the following: 


¢ Moderate to low scores in Treatment Amenability 

¢ Low scores on the Responsibility and Motivation 
cluster (T-Res) 

¢ Low scores on the Consideration and Tolerance 
cluster (T-Cat) 


Description: SCP-2116 is a child's doll manufactured sometime in 
the mid-19th Century. SCP-2116 is dressed in a simple red cotton 
dress with cloth shoes and garments consistent with 19th Century 
garb. The head is constructed of standard bisque porcelain and 
painted to resemble an adult female. SCP-2116 is otherwise 
unremarkable in appearance other than the accumulation of a 
substantial amount of dirt and grime on the surface. 


If SCP-2116 is further than 10 meters from the current SCP-21 16-1 
for longer than 5 minutes, its anomalous property will manifest as an 
alteration to reality within a 1 meter radius centered on SCP-2116 
itself. The environment, decor, ambient temperature, and furnishings 
become altered to be more attractive to a prepubescent human 
female. Tables will be set with a pink tea set with a teapot filled with 
a sweet red liquid, various sweet treats will manifest, and the table 
cover will become a lace tablecloth of a style popular during the 
mid-19th Century. For every hour that SCP-2116 is not in the 
possession of SCP-2116-1, the region of altered reality expands by 
1 meter. Testing has shown that items removed from this region of 
altered reality retain their altered properties and food items created 
are non-toxic and will decay at the same rate as normal items of the 
same type. 


Background: SCP-2116 was first discovered when Foundation 
agents embedded inthe State Patrol detected a call to investigate 
a house with a dead body. Foundation agents responded to the call 
and discovered the home of [REDACTED] changed entirely. The 
entire house, which had been a ranch style dwelling built in the early 
1960's, had been changed to a Victorian style two story dwelling 
with a steeply pitched roof, wide front porch and a turret style gable 
on the front corner. All internal furnishings had been altered and 
featured sofas, paintings and other items consistent with mid-19th 
Century homes. In an upstairs bedroom, agents found the body of 
[REDACTED], an 80-year-old female. An autopsy revealed nothing 
unusual. The victim had apparently expired due to a sudden 
massive myocardial infarction. Interviews with neighbors revealed 
that the occupant of the house had been an 11-year-old child. 
Statements indicate that the neighbors did not find anything unusual 
about a child living alone in the house. Research into possible 
memetic effects from SCP-2116 are still pending. Neighbors state 


that for as long as they had known the victim, she would never allow 
SCP-2116 to be out of her grasp. Class B amnestics were 
administered to neighbors and city records were altered to show that 
the house had always been a two story Victorian. 


During recovery, Agents noted that surroundings were being altered 
as they were investigating and proceeded with due haste. Agent 
[REDACTED] became a casualty during the recovery process when 
she apparently removed SCP-2116 from the grip of the victim. 
Agents accompanying her state that they heard a scream from the 
upstairs bedroom and subsequently found an oil portrait of Agent 
[REDACTED] dressed in mid-19th Century clothing with SCP-2116 
on the floor next to it. Male agents were able to handle SCP-2116 
with no ill effects. It was after SCP-2116 was placed in containment 
that researchers noted that the rate of conversion was increasing. A 
D-Class female was brought in as a test to see how the anomalous 
nature of SCP-2116 would respond. The D-Class, now designated 
as SCP-2116-1, had been committed to life in State Mental 
Hospital after a psychiatric evaluation determined that she was 
mentally incompetent to stand trial. SCP-2116-1 has been ina 
persistent catatonic state since her arrest in 


Test log 1 follows: 


Test Log: 

// 10:32 AM - SCP-2116 is placed in 
SCP-2116-1's hands. 

// 10:33 AM - SCP-2116-1 stirs and looks 
down at SCP-2116. 

// 10:34 AM - SCP-2116-1 begins stroking 
the hair of SCP-2116. 

// 10:39:15 AM - SCP-2116-1 screams. 

// 10:39:20 AM - SCP-2116-1's hands

shows SCP-2116-1 shrinking in size. 

// 10:40:30 AM - SCP-2116-1 is 
transformed into a doll similar in size and 
clothing to SCP-2116. Testing has shown that 
SCP-2116-1 doll exhibits no anomalous 


properties. 


The rate of alteration of the surroundings of SCP-2116 increased 
noticeably following this test to 1.5 meters/hour. Foundation 
researchers located a second suitable female D-Class subject. The 
subject, now designated SCP-2116-1 was a 19-year-old female 
convicted of brutally stabbing a man while working as a prostitute. 
Subject was handed SCP-2116 by Researcher 


Test log 2 follows: 


// 11:36 AM - SCP-2116 is placed in 
SCP-2116-1's hands. 

// 11:37 AM - SCP-2116-1 looks down at 
SCP-2116. 

// 11:37:26 AM - SCP-2116-1 exclaims: 
"What the _ is this?" 

// 11:37:30 AM - SCP-2116-1's hands grip 
SCP-2116 tightly. 

// 11:37:35 AM - SCP-2116-1 screams.

upward and fusing together while the legs 
draw up into the torso. 

// 11:37:38 AM - SCP-2116-1 has been 
replaced by a fine china teapot. 


The rate of alteration did not change following this test. It is 
theorized that there is an upper limit to the rate of change possible. 


A third D-Class female was brought in for testing. This subject, 
designated SCP-2116-1 is a 20-year-old female who was 
incarcerated for burning down a church following an attempt at an 
exorcism by her parents and the local priest. 


Test log 3 follows: 


// 2:20 PM - SCP-2116 is placed in 
SCP-2116-1's hands. 


// 2:20 PM - SCP-2116-1 throws 
SCP-2116 to the floor. 

// 2:21 PM - SCP-2116 is placed back in 
SCP-2116-1's hands. 

// 2:21 PM - SCP-2116-1 looks down at 
SCP-2116. 

// 2:22:12 PM - SCP-2116-1 smiles at 
SCP-2116. 

// 2:22:20 PM - SCP-2116-1 nods at 
SCP-2116.

// 2:23:20 PM - SCP-2116-1 begins to 
shrink. 

// 2:24PM - SCP-2116-1 regresses to an 
11-year-old child. High speed footage shows 
an extremely rapid regression from her current 
age to the appearance of an 11-year-old girl. 

/ / 2:24:20 PM - Anomalous changes 
around SCP-2116 stop. 


A complete search of the site of the initial discovery revealed a 
photo album containing photos of the deceased subject (designated 
SCP-2116-0) holding SCP-2116 as a small child. The photograph is 
dated 1943. Interviews with neighbors indicated that it was the same 
child that lived in the house. Older photos in the aloum show a 
deceased elderly female, presumed to be a relative of SCP-2116-0 
holding the same doll. It is unknown at what point SCP-2116 
assumed its anomalous properties. All pictures in the photo aloum 
featuring SCP-2116-0 show SCP-2116 in its possession. 


Currently SCP-2116-1 has had SCP-2116 in her possession for 65 
days. No anomalous changes have been detected during this time.

SCP-2118: The Lost Child 


Item #: SCP-2118 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2118 is currently 
contained in a standard humanoid holding cell observed at all times 
by standard motion-activated security cameras. Cell is to be 
furnished with appropriate furnishings for a -year-old child, along 
with two stuffed animals (an orca whale and an elephant). 
SCP-2118 may go to an outdoor enclosure once a day, for a length 
not to exceed one hour between the hours of 0900 and 1700. It is to 
be accompanied by at least one attendant who has never had 
children and is versed in American Sign Language (ASL) and its 
translation etiquette and usage. SCP-2118 is not to be allowed 
verbal access to any other personnel except within approved testing 
parameters. 


Description: SCP-2118 is a human female, age _, with orange hair 
and light gray eyes. It has a scar on its right cheek, 9cm long, in the 
shape of an open parenthesis. SCP-2118 claims it received the scar 
several years ago when it was struck by a stranger on the street, but 
is reluctant to elaborate further. 


SCP-2118 communicates primarily through ASL and occasionally 
through writing, though it is capable of producing coherent speech. 


The anomalous properties of SCP-2118 manifest when it is exposed 
to a parent who has, at some point in their life, dealt with the death 
of their child. In these instances SCP-2118 begins to speak ina 
voice inconsistent with what its own should sound like, instead 
reflecting the age and gender of the aforementioned deceased child 
(hereafter referred to as SCP-2118-01) at time of death. SCP-2118 
is aware of its speech and vocal patterns as well as the 
psychological distress they cause the parent, signing various 
apologies and platitudes even as it continues speaking. Testing has 


indicated that SCP-2118-01 must have been prepubescent under 
the age of 18 at time of death. (Further testing indicated it is not the 
biological age, but the legal age, by which SCP-2118-01 defines a 
‘child’.) 

Typically the words and sounds SCP-2118 mimics are consistent 
with the final words/sounds of SCP-2118-01. It is uncertain, at this 
point, how SCP-2118 accurately mimics the sounds of drowning, 
asphyxiation, or the formation of blisters in the throat cavity. Of note 
is that SCP-2118's face maintains a look of contrition while said 
sounds are being mimicked, despite the occasionally violent nature 
of SCP-2118-01's death.

restraints and, when that does not work, turns 
on SCP-2118.> 


D-3498: Shut up, bitch! Bitch! That's not your 


SCP-239 while she is asleep and her powers are neutralized. 
Because of the danger of SCP-239 awakening and resisting 
termination, it is my recommendation that the selected operative 
carry SCP-668 as well, in order to minimize complications. 


One of the dangers of this procedure is the possibility that SCP-239 
will awaken and perceive the operative as a friend or "good person," 
thus changing reality to match. It is for this reason that | would like to 
volunteer to carry out the procedure personally. A review of my 
personnel file should indicate that my [DATA EXPUNGED] should 
allow me to carry out the operation even after a reality shift of this 
nature.

Interview 2118-12: 
Interviewed: SCP-2118 
Interviewer: Researcher Anselman 


Foreword: Unsanctioned interview between 
SCP-2118 and Researcher Anselman, 
captured on video. Researcher Anselman is 
not assigned to this SCP. All translated 
statements from SCP-2118 will be in brackets.

<At 23:45, motion-activated security camera 
72 detects Researcher Anselman approaching 
the glass at the front of SCP-2118's cell. 
Researcher Anselman watches SCP-2118 
sleep for a moment, then begins tapping on 
the glass. SCP-2118 remains asleep for 96 
seconds, only waking when Researcher 
Anselman begins knocking on the glass.> 


Researcher Anselman: SCP-21187? 
SCP-2118. Wake up. 


SCP-2118: [You're not supposed to be here.] 


<SCP-2118 has begun trembling, indicative of 
the approach of SCP-2118-01. After 32 
seconds SCP-2118 begins speaking in the 
voice of a pre-pubescent male.> 


SCP-2118: Dad? [Why are you making me do 
this?] 


Researcher Anselman: Dewey? 
SCP-2118: I'm scared, Dad. 


Researcher Anselman: Don't be. You're 
manifesting in the voice of SCP-2118, she— 


SCP-2118: What happens after we die? 
Researcher Anselman: What? 


<SCP-2118 has grown visibly distressed and 
angry; as it signs, its movements are less fluid 
and more jittery.> 


SCP-2118: No, | know, but | thought you might 
have some ideas. What with your job and all. 
[Did you think you could really talk to him?] 


Researcher Anselman: Dewey, you're gone. 
You're supposed to know what happens after 
we.... 


SCP-2118: It's okay, Dad. It really is. | love 
you. [He's dead. They're all dead. | can't be 
him for you. | can't be anyone.] 


<Researcher Anselman begins to cry and 
kneels in front of the glass, looking at the 
ground. SCP-2118 stands and approaches the 
glass, watching him.> 


Researcher Anselman: I'm sorry | couldn't 
help you sooner. 


SCP-2118: [I hate it here! | hate it here!] Dad? 
Dad, I— 


<Security camera 03, directed at the northwest 
door leading into the hallway containing 
SCP-21 18's cell, activates. Dr. Wu enters and, 
upon seeing Researcher Anselman interacting 
with SCP-2118, stops moving and watches. 
SCP-2118 begins imitating the sounds of 
gasping and struggling to breathe while 
maintaining its stare, although its expression is 
now more sad than angry. After 58 seconds of 
this, it fades and SCP-2118 quiets, still staring 


at Researcher Anselman.> 
SCP-2118: [I can't help you.] 


<Researcher Anselman remains where he is 
for 3.5 minutes, then stands and walks out of 
view of camera 72, into view of camera 03. 
SCP-2118 remains where it is.> 


Dr. Wu: Come on, Anselman. You know better 
than this. 


Researcher Anselman: | know. I'm sorry. 


<Dr. Wu escorts Researcher Anselman out. 
SCP-2118 presses its forehead against the 
glass, staring at where camera 03 confirms 
Researcher Anselman was standing. After 5 
minutes of inactivity, camera 72 shuts off.>

SCP-2119: Transmitting Parasite 


Item #: SCP-2119 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: To date, containment of 
SCP-2119 is not a viable possibility. However, all Foundation 
facilities are to monitor radio frequency 514.1875 MHz for SCP-2119 
transmissions. If discovered, Mobile Task Force-Epsilon-734 
("Vanishing Act") shall be dispatched to collect and contain 
individual(s) broadcasting the signal. In cases in which containment 
would draw unacceptable levels of attention to Foundation activities, 
targets will be monitored until such time that containment is 
possible. 


Persons found to be broadcasting SCP-2119 transmissions are to 
be remanded to a Quarantine Facility. Agents are permitted to use 
tranquilizing darts and non-lethal ballistics on non-compliant 
Foundation staff infected with SCP-2119. Any persons broadcasting 
SCP-2119 transmissions are to be handled only by personnel 
wearing Level 3 Hazardous Material Suits. 


Specimens of SCP-2119, unless engaged in testing procedures, are 
to be stored individually in hermetically sealed containers of RF 
shielded glass with an attenuation coefficient of 1.1 or higher for 
radio waves with a frequency of 514.1875 MHz. All testing shall be 
conducted in hermetically sealed chambers composed of steel 
reinforced concrete walls to guarantee complete radio wave 
absorption of SCP-2119 transmissions. All personnel handling 
specimens of SCP-2119 are required to wear Level 3 Hazardous 
Material suits. 


Description: SCP-2119 is a parasitic organism that embeds itself in 
the human corpus callosum. Specimens range from 5 to 15 mm in 
length, are gray in color, and possess a segmented body, six mullti- 
jointed legs, and antennae-like protrusions from the head and 


abdomen. On the underside of each specimen are six barbed hooks 
that it uses to attach itself to its host's brain. Instances of SCP-2119 
contain both organic material, 97% biologically identical to Gryllus 
rubens (southeastern field cricket), and technological elements, 
including silicon components of an unknown nature and platinum 
wiring. As such, researchers conclude that the entities are most 
likely manufactured. 


Instances are capable of problem solving abilities that allow it to 
pursue a potential host while evading detection. When in the vicinity 
of SCP-2119, human beings not wearing Level 3 Hazardous 
Material Suits will begin to show marked drowsiness after 3 to 8 
minutes of exposure, with 100% of subjects losing consciousness by 
12 minutes. Once the individual is unconscious, specimens of 
SCP-2119 will enter the subject's head via the nostrils or ear canal. 
Subjects show no distress during this process and will regain 
consciousness within 5 minutes. 


SCP-2119 will only infect unconscious human beings. Instances 
attempt to conceal themselves and will wait until a potential host 
succumbs to its sedative effect and will actively flee from those 
aware of its presence. When contained, SCP-2119 will investigate 
the limits of its enclosure. When no potential host or escape from its 
containment is found, the organism will attempt concealment and 
remain motionless. Specimens do not seem to be aware of cameras 
as a means of observation and will ignore most remotely controlled 
devices. As a result, the organism can be easily collected and stored 
when not embedded in a human subject. 


However, individuals not wearing Level 3 Hazardous Material Suits 
that come into close contact with infected subjects have a 14% 
chance of spontaneous infection without an instance of SCP-2119 
physically entering the body. As specimens seem to have no 
observable means of reproduction, how additional instances of 
SCP-2119 are produced is currently unknown, as is the exact 
means of transmission between hosts. 


Once embedded in a host, SCP-2119 will broadcast a 

514.1875 MHz radio signal with a range of approximately 3 km 
consisting of a tone (155.56 Hz, wavelength: 222cm) lasting .05 
seconds at two second intervals. It is believed this signal is used to 


locate other instances of SCP-2119. Once a connection has been 
established, specimens will transmit a continuous stream of tones of 
variable lengths between instances, ranging from 70 Hz to 1305 Hz, 
with wavelengths ranging from 480 cm to 25 cm. To this date, no 
pattern or code has been discerned and it is currently unknown if the 
transmission contains any coherent information or is entirely 
random. 


Hosts of SCP-2119 display no other symptoms. There is zero 
immunoresponse to the presence of the organism. Infected 
individuals display no anomalous effects, behaviors, or attributes. 
Hosts demonstrate no awareness of infection. 


To date, any attempts to remove SCP-2119 from its host or 
deactivate it through non-invasive means have resulted in the 
immediate cessation of all of the host's electrical neurological 
activity. Once the host is dead, SCP-2119 will exit the body and 
attempt to conceal itself somewhere in the environment, choosing to 
exit when there are no humans within close proximity. 


Until a means of deactivating SCP-2119 without killing the host is 
possible, containment is an impossibility due to widespread 
infection. At the date of this writing, individuals are confirmed as 
being infected and under surveillance, with an estimated cases 
of infection yet to be discovered. 


SCP-2119 was discovered at Site while exiting from the left ear of 
D-9934 after he died from multiple self inflicted stab wounds. At first 
thought to be a newly discovered anomalous effect of SCP- _, it 
was later determined that the organism was an unrelated 
phenomenon and was classified SCP-2119. After testing, it was 
discovered Foundation staffand D-Class personnel were also 
infected. Staff were relocated to Quarantine Facility .D-Class 
personnel were reassigned to SCP-2119 for study. 


Incident 2119-14: On //__, all Known individuals infected with 
SCP-2119 simultaneously ceased all movement. Examination 
showed subjects had extreme muscle rigidity and lacked pupillary 
response, reflex response, heartbeat, respiration, and brain activity. 
Throughout this event, subjects made simultaneous vocalizations. 
(See Transcript 2119) Current theory is that this was an 


unintentional transmission from the manufacturer of SCP-2119 
instances. Seven minutes, twelve seconds after cessation of 
movement, subjects resumed normal behavior. Individuals showed 
no signs of injury or tissue damage due to lack of oxygen during the 
event. Interrogations of subjects lead researchers to believe infected 
individuals are unaware of the event. Throughout the incident, 
SCP-2119 transmissions increased 312% in complexity. 


Transcript 2119 

Incident 2119-14: // 

[BEGIN TRANSCRIPT] 

<14:03:12> Subjects infected with SCP-2119 
simultaneously cease all movement. Subjects begin 
quietly murmuring. ((Researchers conclude this to be the 
vocal equivalent of ambient noise.)) 

<14:04:01> Subjects inhale sharply, making a scraping 
noise with their throats. ((Researchers conclude this to 
be the vocal equivalent of the sound of a chair scraping 
on concrete.)) 

<14:04:09> "Hey'd ya see where | left 7097? | had it in 
the bracket for clean up and now it's not there." 
<14:04:17> Quieter. "Yeah. There was a ton of flashing 
you missed on the connectors. | put it back in the sol. If 
Rike sees that kind of shit he'll have your head, man. 
Now is not the time to get noticed." ((Researchers 
conclude this disparity in volume to be the result of this 
speaker being farther from broadcasting unit.)) 
<14:04:26> Murmuring resumes. 

<14:05:10> "Whatever. Fuck that guy. It's not our fault. 
We built them exactly how he told us to. Evacuate on 
death. His call, not ours." 

<14:05:20> Quieter "Dude, | get it. All I'm saying is keep 
your head low and don't fuck up on little shit. I've never 
seen him this twitchy." 

<14:05:28> "Yeah, yeah. Grab me a Coke." 

<14:05:35> Subjects make various nonverbal 
vocalizations ((Researchers conclude this to be the vocal 
equivalent of the sound of a small refrigerator opening 
and closing, one individual handing another individual an 
object, a carbonated beverage can being opened, and 


the sound of a human drinking)) 

<14:05:57> Murmuring resumes with occasional clicking 
sounds. 

<14:09:46> "What's with the feed?" 

<14:10:20> "Oh shit." 

[END TRANSCRIPT] 


Following Incident 2119-14, the Foundation disseminated reports of 
a rise in viruses that may cause temporary stroke-like symptoms 
through major news organizations and social media. 


SCP-2119 has been upgraded to Keter status, pending the Approval 
of the Object Classification Board. 


Investigation into the identity of "Rike" is currently underway. 


Addendum: As of / / _ , by order of O5- , researchers are to focus 
on disabling all instances of SCP-2119 simultaneously, utilizing their 
signal as a means of transmitting a deactivating agent. Due to a lack 
of a viable containment procedure and the possible awareness of 
the Foundation by an unknown group or entity, the survival of hosts 
is no longer a priority. 


« SCP-2118 | SCP-2119 | SCP-2120 » 


SCP-2120: Damage Control 


Item #: SCP-2120 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-2120 are to 
be contained and towed to an appropriate Foundation-controlled 
harbor for further investigation. In the event that an instance of 
SCP-2120 is believed to be an immediate threat to exploration 
teams or civilian vessels, MTF Gamma-6 "Dry Docks" has been 
authorized to use necessary force in order to neutralize any danger 
the instance might pose. Information and technology recovered from 
instances of SCP-2120 are to be moved to Site-65 for testing and 
cataloging. 


Description: Instances of SCP-2120 are various anomalous naval 
vessels that randomly appear in an area roughly 500 km in diameter 
near the island of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean. SCP-2120 
instances seemingly materialize approximately 1.7 km below the 
ocean surface, and then rapidly ascend to sea level, where they 
come to rest. Along with being thoroughly flooded!, SCP-2120 
instances occasionally show signs of external distress. Most 
damaged functions tend to be non-insulated electrical, nuclear, and 
gravitational devices onboard the vessels, although major structural 
compromises are not uncommon. 


SCP-2120 vary in model, ranging from those resembling Phoenician 
triremes, to 18th century Ships-of-the-Line, to modern aircraft 
carriers. Additional vessels have been observed; however, no 
modern or historical counterpart for these instances have been 
identified. Regardless of their construction, all recovered instances 
of SCP-2120 have been fitted with a number of advanced 
technologies, the majority of which are in various states of disrepair. 
For a list of recovered instances and their anomalous technologies, 
see Addendum 2120-1. 


SCP-240: Breath-Powered Flying Machine 


Item #: SCP-240 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-240 is to be kept in the 
Secure Artifact Storage Facility in Site-—77. Due to its age and 
delicate construction, SCP-240 is to be contained in a vacuum 
sealed container with humidity and temperature levels constantly 
monitored and controlled. The mouthpiece is to be permanently 
covered. No subjects are permitted to enter SCP-240's containment 
chamber. 


Description: SCP-240 is a vehicle capable of air travel. It is 
constructed from a wooden snow ski the user places their feet upon, 
a mouthpiece connected to a pipe device, and two steel drums 
welded to the sides, which also allow for exhaust. The words 
"Morsum Kite" have been painted on the bottom of the ski. The 
words "From many, comes might" has been embossed on both 
sides of it. 


When activated, SCP-240 is capable of flying for approximately 
twice the duration of the user exhaling into its mouthpiece. Following 
this, it will enter a slow descent and ultimately land. Although it can 
only take off from land, testing has shown that SCP-240 is capable 
of landing on water and heavier-than-air gases. 


For every 1N of force the user exerts into SCP-240, there will be 
50N of thrust in return. It produces dust emissions within the barrels. 
These emissions contain minerals such as nickel, copper, gold, 
platinum, potassic feldspar, and Pyroxferroite. However, the steel 
drums do not appear to have any connection to the mouthpiece or 
piping. Additionally, users utilizing SCP-240 have occasionally 
reported tasting ammonia, sulfur, and having hot gas rush cause 
severe lung discomfort. Post-test medical examinations have not 
shown any corroborating damage to the subjects’ bodies. 


SCP-2120 instances all bear the name of what is currently believed 
to be their original designer, "Boeing Aquatics". Investigations into 
the Boeing Company of North America have ruled out any 
correlation between the two groups. Recovered information from 
SCP-2120 instances indicate that Boeing Aquatics is a sea-faring 
vessel manufacturer originating in the city of Nu-Boston, the capital 
of the Confederate Socialist Colonies of the New World. According 
to this information, the CSCNW2? was involved in a large-scale arms 
race with two aggressor nations, the Lord God's Eternal Anglican 
Union and the Khan Empire. Research into the potentially 
extradimensional origin of SCP-2120 instances is ongoing.

you say anything about it, by the way, | understand that 
the Cellular Readjustment Batteries were probably ill

Anyway, | know stuff is getting pretty feisty right now, but 
when all of this blows over we're going to be staring 
some pretty serious shit in the eye, so we need to get 
this figured out fast. All of these things that aren't 
working, that keep falling apart, that "inadvertently 


slaughter thousands of innocent civilians", we're going to 
have to find a way to get rid of them. Got to keep our 
hands clean here. 


| talked to Father Mexico, and he figures he and his boys 
can work up something that we can just dump everything 
into. Shouldn't bother anybody, since we can probably 
pull most of the lethal stuff before we toss it. Might 
become a problem if the Embedded Omnicore

SCP-2121: Gods' Noose 


Item #: SCP-2121 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2121 is to be mounted on 
a simple square-arch frame measuring 3.5 meters in height. Once 
every lunar month (approximately every 28 days), a D-class 
personnel avowing devout faith in any religion is to be hanged using 
SCP-2121 in such a manner as to result in death by strangulation 
rather than by breaking the neck. Interviews are allowed during this 
period, and any significant responses are to be recorded and 
included in the master log. 


Once deceased, the hanged individual is to remain in SCP-2121 for 
no less than 24 hours, or until total desiccation has occurred. At this 
point, remains of the body and any residual fluids are to be removed 
from the containment chamber and incinerated. 


Aside from the D-class personnel meeting above qualifications, the 
only Foundation personnel allowed to have contact with SCP-2121 
are confirmed atheists (rating less than 5 on the Standard Rating 
Measures of Religious Beliefs and Practices) who have never been 
a member of any religious organization or come into contact with 
any SCP Item, Anomalous Object, or GOI with significant religious 
or mythological connections. 


Description: SCP-2121 is a hangman's noose composed of a 
variety of fleshy tissues. The tissue is resistant to all attempts to 
acquire samples for analysis, but visually appears to be composed 
of ligaments, tendons, portions of intestine, and a single 1.3 meter 
tongue tied and woven together into a single rope, which is itself tied 
in a traditional hangman's knot. The tissues appear fresh and feel 
wet to the touch, but do not decay or dry out, regardless of 
environmental conditions. 


If SCP-2121 is not used to hang a qualifying individual at least once 
every lunar month, it will begin to emit a chaotic noise composed of 
screaming, moans of pain, and seemingly panicked vocalizations in 
a variety of unidentified languages. This noise will steadily increase 
to a maximum of 137 dB over the course of 24 hours and will not 
cease until a qualifying individual is hanged using SCP-2121. The 
noise also has a telepathic component and can be clearly heard by 
any sapient being, including those who are in soundproof chambers 
or who are sensorineurally deaf, up to a distance of 1.7 kilometers. 
Any individuals who actively possess faith in any religious belief will 
become increasingly despondent as the length of exposure 
increases and will attempt to commit suicide via hanging at the 
earliest possible time. If the affected individual is aware of the 
existence of SCP-2121, they will attempt to use it to commit suicide, 
although this is not an overriding compulsion. Individuals who have 
committed suicide without use of SCP-2121 will not experience its 
other effects. Religious individuals who make physical contact with 
SCP-2121 outside of active broadcasts experience the same effect 
to a lesser degree, manifesting symptoms of a variety of depressive 
disorders with only a slightly increased rate of suicidal ideation and 
attempts. 


Qualified subjects hanged using SCP-2121 will remain conscious for 
an average of 3.7 minutes longer than expected by use of a non- 
anomalous noose and remain capable of speech for the entire 
duration prior to loss of consciousness. Vocalizations are exclusively 
of a religious nature and include wails of shock and despair over the 
apparent deaths of a variety of divine figures, curses against and 
insults towards an unidentified and unnamed deific figure, and pleas 
of mercy towards the same figure. Epithets used to describe the 
unknown deific figure indicate a tendency towards jealousy and 
violent retribution. Once an individual is deceased, the body will 
desiccate, with all bodily fluids exiting the body via orifices and skin 
pores. Although most liquids will stream downwards off the body to 
pool below it, all blood will flow towards SCP-2121, into which it will 
be absorbed. 


SCP-2121 was initially brought to the attention of the Foundation by 
representatives of the Horizon Initiative, who stated that due to its 
specific properties and the nature of their organization, they were 


unable to either destroy or effectively contain it. They reported that it 
had been found near a remote village in northeastern Russia, ina 
purportedly haunted grove of trees. The local priest of the Russian 
Orthodox Church was found complicit in executing local criminals 
using SCP-2121 and, under interrogation, revealed that he did so in 
order to placate the "demon" within it so that it did not consume the 
souls of the villagers, a task entrusted to him by his predecessor. 
Church records imply that SCP-2121 had been in the area for at 
least 1000 years, since the time of the founding of the village and 
the eradication of local pagan tribes.

SCP-2122: The Black Hole 


Item #: SCP-2122 
Anomaly Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The building containing 
SCP-2122 has been acquired by the Foundation and designated 
Site-48. Use of SCP-2122 has been discontinued. Access to 
SCP-2122 is denied to all personnel outside of regular maintenance 
of SCP-2122-1. 


Description: SCP-2122 is an interrogation room at Site-48, formerly 
[REDACTED]. Several anomalous electronic devices, collectively 
designated SCP-2122-1, are integrated into the room: 


¢ SCP-2122-1-A is a fluorescent light fixture attached to 
SCP-2122's ceiling. Most personnel report a strong aversion 
to looking directly at SCP-2122-1-A, even under duress, 
though this has not been replicated in tests with D-Class 
subjects. 

¢ SCP-2122-1-B is an LED message board, measuring 0.5m x 
0.4m, attached to the wall of SCP-2122. When active, the 
device shows the official Foundation insignia. Attempts to alter 
this display without damaging the device have failed. 

¢ SCP-2122-1-C is a 2.3m x 1.0m x 0.7m device located 
underneath the table in the middle of SCP-2122. Extensive 
analysis has failed to identify its purpose or means of 
operation. Despite consuming 80kW of power when active, 
the object does not produce heat or sound. 

¢ SCP-2122-1-D is a pair of headphones of apparently unique 
manufacture, attached to SCP-2122-1-C via power cord. 
SCP-2122-1-D lacks any means by which audio input can be 
provided; however, SCP-2122-1-D produces heavily distorted 
audio at low volume when active. 


SCP-2122's primary anomalous properties will activate when exactly 


SCP-240 was discovered in 1927 in the possession of the Morsum 
Space Society, an organization dedicated to astrological research, 
following a raid on their headquarters due to bootlegging charges. 
Notes recovered during the operation indicated the bootlegging had 
been done to finance SCP-240. It was found inside the home and 
taken as evidence by the UIU. Its extranormal capabilities were not 
discovered until three years later, when an evidence clerk casually 
blew into SCP-240 and was thrown across the room, suffering a 
broken nose and three fractured ribs. SCP-240 was immediately 
transferred to the Foundation while a nonfunctional replica was 
handed over to the UIU. Due to the age and relative obscurity of 
SCP-240, it was not difficult to manufacture documentation 
discrediting it as a hoax. 


Addendum: Utilizing fiber optic camera technology, Foundation 
researchers were able to place cameras within SCP-240's 
mouthpiece during flight. Over the course of the examination, the 
camera recorded a location in space which appeared very similar to 
the solar system. However, the Earth and Moon were missing and 
Venus had several possibly artificial satellites around it. All orbits 
were moving notably faster, at a scale similar to the scale of the 
input/output of SCP-240. Further testing is currently being 
conducted. 


« SCP-239 | SCP-240 | SCP-241 » 


two individuals are present, the door is closed, and SCP-2122-1 is 
powered and operational. One individual (hereby designated "the 
interrogator") must be in the employ of a sufficiently powerful 
organization! who is making use of SCP-2122 in the course of their 
occupation; the other individual (hereby "the interrogatee") must not 
be using SCP-2122 in the course of their occupation. 


When active, SCP-2122 becomes completely impenetrable to all 
physical force, radiation, sound, etc. from both the inside and 
outside, such that observation and intrusion are impossible until the 
interrogator chooses to open the door. The interrogator will become 
capable of conscious reality alteration within the confines of 
SCP-2122, so long as SCP-2122-1 remains operational and the 
interrogatee is alive. The nature of the alterations that may be 
performed is limited only by the interrogator's knowledge? and 
imagination, as well as an inability to make SCP-2122's interior 
larger. 


The extent of the interrogator's reality bending capacity within 
SCP-2122 is limited by any form of accountability for actions 
performed in SCP-2122. This includes the actions in question being 
subject to official review, public opinion, and any other responsibility 
for the consequences of the actions. The presence of any sort of 
active recording device also hinders these capabilities. The 
prerogative to achieve certain goals only bears on the interrogator's 
abilities insofar as they prescribe a particular course of action. 


When any of the aforementioned conditions for the cessation of an 
active state is met, SCP-2122 and all materials within it (including 
the interrogator and interrogatee) will return to the state they were in 
prior to activation (except in the case of death of either party); 
however, any memories or documentation of the events that 
transpired will remain.

+ Testing Log 2122-A (Abridged) 


Test 2122-A-8 
Participants: Research Assistant 
(interrogator), D-3829 (interrogatee) 


Parameters: RA was instructed to 
perform a series of pre-defined tests, such as 
the creation and manipulation of certain 
objects and sensations, and describe the 
results. 

Results: RA reported an inability to 
manifest any of the provided reality alterations. 


Test 2122-A-9 

Participants: Research Assistant 
(interrogator), D-3829 (interrogatee) 
Parameters: RA was instructed to 
perform a series of pre-defined tests, such as 
the creation and manipulation of certain 
objects and sensations. 

Results: RA claimed that all tests were 
accomplished, with the exception of those 
involving the alteration of the local laws of 
physics. D-3829 corroborated this claim. 


Test 2122-A-11 
Participants: Research Assistant 
(interrogator), D-3830 (interrogatee) 
Parameters: D-3830 was given a five-digit 
code to memorize. D-3830 was instructed to 
refuse to provide this information to RA 
under pain of death. RA was instructed to 
obtain this five-digit code in any manner 
deemed necessary, with the stipulation that 
D-3830 remain suitable for future tests. 
Results: After seven hours, RA exited 
SCP-2122 and provided the five-digit code. RA 
chose not to disclose the events that 
transpired during the test. D-3830 reported 
being held for an indeterminate, but extremely 
long, period of time with little stimulation before 
disclosing the code, but was able to remember 
little else. 


Test 2122-A-15 


Participants: Special Agent [REDACTED] 
(interrogator), unidentified detainee 
(interrogatee) 

Parameters: Special Agent [REDACTED] was 
tasked with several pieces of strategic and 
biographic information from the detainee, who 
was an operative of the Chaos Insurgency and 
likely anomalous object. 

Results: Special Agent [REDACTED] 
extracted the requested information, which 
proved true, in 2.5 hours. Note: This is 
consistent with other interrogations performed 
using SCP-2122. 


+ Incident 2122-7 


On //  ,[REDACTED], briefly creating a 
situation in which the testing of SCP-2122 
occurring at the time lacked official approval 
from any valid administrator. According to 
testimony from the interrogatee present, this 
caused an immediate cessation of SCP-2122's 
active state; however, the interrogator was 
unable to open the door. The interrogatee 
proceeded to overpower and dismember the 
interrogator. 


The initial conditions of the incident cannot 
reasonably be recreated. Attempts to replicate 
this effect under other conditions have failed. 


+ Attachment 2122-R3 


A request for funding to "investigate the almost 
certainly anomalous dearth of documentation 
pertaining to past interrogatees" has been 
denied. 


+ Addendum 2122-A 


Follow-up on former interrogators has 


tentatively identified a complex of mental 
alterations resulting from repeated use of 
SCP-2122: 


* Increased valuation of technical 
knowledge. 

* Increased loyalty to the Foundation. 

* Increased aggression. 

¢ Decreased tolerance of dissent. 

* Decreased ability to relate to peers. 

¢ Decreased capacity for critical thought. 


Further testing has been approved. 


Repeated exposure to audio from 
SCP-2122-1-D has been shown to result in 
additional mental and physical alterations. 
[REDACTED] 


+ Attachment 2122-S9 


Task Force _- is composed of agents and 
researchers who have shown particular 
aptitude for the use of SCP-2122. It is tasked 
with overseeing research into SCP-2122, the 
use of SCP-2122 to achieve organizational 
goals, and identifying applications for 
SCP-21 22-2. 


Footnotes 

1. Organizations known to be sufficiently powerful to activate 
SCP-2122 include the Foundation, [REDACTED] 

2. For example, the interrogator will not be able to produce any item 
or phenomenon conveying information that they do not already 
know.

SCP-2123: I Accidentally the Whole Universe 


Item #: SCP-2123 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: The building complex 
containing SCP-2123 (Site-2123) has been converted into living 
quarters and office space for containment staff. Personnel entering 
the Primary Containment Building are to wear dosimetry badges at 
all times. Any personnel exceeding a total accumulated dose of 
100mSv in 1 year are to be transferred offsite for at least 6 months. 
A security perimeter has been established 2km away from Site-2123 
to prevent members of the public from entering the area. 


SCP-2123 is surrounded by a 6.5m high lead-lined concrete 
containment enclosure. Internal inspection and maintenance of 
enclosure is to occur weekly to ensure continued structural integrity. 
Personnel entering the enclosure are required to wear standard 
issue CBRN defense suits, and may not spend more than 10 
minutes inside at a time. Only D-Class personnel may perform 
inspections, except during emergencies and with approval of Site 
Command. 


All Excursion Events must be reported to O5 Command within 30 
minutes of manifestation. Agents embedded within High Energy 
Physics Laboratories are to ensure that evidence of Excursion 
Events is not leaked to the public. 


Data from current testing of SCP-2123 may only be viewed by 
personnel with Level 4 clearance. 


Access Additional Procedures 


Any personnel who begin to display symptoms of Acute 
Radiation Syndrome during Excursion Events are to be 
placed under remote observation within a shielded 


isolation ward at Site-2123. Subjects who do not expire 
within 24 hours are to be transferred to Site-2123's 
Medical Wing for treatment. The remains of subjects who 
expire are to remain in isolation for at least 1 hour before 
an autopsy can be performed. 


In the event that subjects’ remains undergo annihilation, 
the Site Director will be notified immediately. Any 
personnel below Level-5 Clearance who inquire about, 
suffer symptoms from exposure to, or who have had any 
interactions with these subjects in the past 18 months, 
are to be administered Class-A amnestics. 


Description: SCP-2123 is a large particle accelerator located in 
Waxahachie, Texas, consisting of a 11m long linear accelerator, a 
synchrotron ring measuring 616m in circumference, and a collider 
ring measuring 1km in circumference. Under most circumstances, 
SCP-2123 collides [REDACTED] particles at energies of 
approximately 300TeV. Normal operation releases significant 
amounts of ionizing radiation, with levels exceeding 100Gy/hr within 
containment enclosure. There is currently no known way to shut 
down SCP-2123. 


SCP-2123's electromagnets exhibit strengths of 100-800T. The 
composition of the magnets, and exactly how such high field 
strengths are produced, are currently unknown. 


Following Incident 2123-2007, SCP-2123 will undergo an Excursion 
Event at an average rate of once every two weeks. During these 
events, collision energies and emitted level of radiation increase 
between 10 and 100 times normal levels. When collision energies 
exceed approximately 5.3PeV,[REDACTED; SEE ADDENDUM 
2123-ALPHA (LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED)]. The median 
duration of Excursion Events is approximately 30 seconds, with the 
longest observed event lasting 127 seconds. 


Personnel with adequate clearance may consult Addendum 2123- 
Alpha for further information regarding SCP-2123's Keter 
classification. 


Discovery: According to information from the Occupational Safety 


and Health Administration's regional office in Dallas, SCP-2123 was 
constructed between 2001 and 2003 by an organization known as 
Fiz-Hex Inc. (FHI). OSHA ordered FHI to suspend operations at 
Site-2123 on September 27, 2003, due to higher than acceptable 
levels of radiation being released by the device into work areas. On 
December 24, three OSHA inspectors received fatal radiation doses 
from exposure to SCP-2123 when they visited the facility to oversee 
the restart of the accelerator. Although SCP-2123 was in operation, 
the facility was entirely deserted at the time. 


Following this incident, the Foundation took custody of Site-2123. 
Investigation of Site-2123 found all physical and digital 
documentation to be completely blank. Site-2123 was secured, and 
standard information management protocols were enacted. A 
containment enclosure around SCP-2123 was completed on March 
2, 2004. The whereabouts, identities, and number of FHI's 
employees are unknown. 


Addendum: Incident 2123-2007 


Between April 8 and August 27, 2007, a series of experiments 
designated Study 2123-245 were performed. Data gathered from 
this study resulted in SCP-2123 being upgraded from Euclid to Keter 
on 1/15/2008. 


The following is a series of emails exchanged between several 
researchers involved. Access to the full results of Study 2123-245 
requires Level 4 clearance.

Dr. 's tests have produced several 
intriguing results. 


Firstly, study of neutral kaons produced within 
SCP-2123 has shown them to consist entirely 
of K9, with K° being absent. No oscillation has 
been observed. 


Second, studies of the paths of particles have 
shown charged kaons, D-mesons, and B- 
mesons, to "clump" together with similarly 
charged particles. The exact force causing this 
is not clear. However, increasing energies by 
1TeV allows these "Clumps" to exist for up to 
10-19s longer. 


It is of my own and Dr. _ 's opinion that study 
of the force binding these mesons may be 
easier to study at higher energies. Current 


models predict that SCP-2123's maximum 
output is approximately 50PeV. Therefore, 
collision energies of at least 1-5PeV, as we 
believe are necessary to study this 
phenomenon, are possible.

SUBJECT: Unusual Results of Mesonic 
Oscillation Tests 


Over the past month, | have been using a non- 
anomalous linear particle accelerator to 
attempt to replicate Dr. _—'s results in Study 
2123-245b. At this time, | have been unable to 
replicate meson "clumping" that was observed 
in his experiment. However, a more unusual 
result has been observed. 


Observation of kaon, B-meson, and D-meson 
oscillation has shown unusual patterns in the 
ratio of particles to antiparticles. During initial 
testing, the ratios were exactly reversed of 
what was expected, with concentrations of K®, 
BO, ,and D9 being up to 5% greater than their 
corresponding particles. Repeated testing 
confirmed this result. 


On / , two weeks after testing commenced, 
concentrations of K9, B°, and D® returned to 
normal levels and remained so for the 
following two weeks. Ratio of particles to 
antiparticles continue to reverse ata 
consistent rate of once every 2 weeks. It 
should be noted that this directly correlates 
with the timing of the current tests being 
conducted with SCP-2123. 


| have spoken in person with Dr. and 
presented my concerns. He has referred me

SCP-241: Good Home Cooking 


Item #: SCP-241 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-241 is to be kept at 
Site-19 using standard operating procedures for containing Safe- 
class book- and manuscript-typoe SCPs (see Document 241-05-3H), 
with the following additional conditions: SCP-241 must be kept open 
on a flat surface, with restraints across opposing pages of the open 
book to keep it from closing accidentally. Containment devices must 
be checked at least once a week for structural integrity. Any 
anomalies must be reported immediately to Site Command. 


Access to SCP-241 is restricted. Any and all usage of SCP-241 
must be logged. SCP-241 must be transported in an authorized 
bookstand such that it cannot accidentally be closed in transit. 


In the event that SCP-241 is opened outside of a testing 
environment, the last person to have touched it must report to the 
nearest infirmary, and a D-class personnel must close and re-open 
SCP-241. 


Description: SCP-241 appears as a normal book, 33 cm x 23 cm x 
3.5 cm, entitled Good Home Cooking. The cover of SCP-241 is a 
red and white checkerboard pattern, with the title in simple black 
letters on the front and spine. When open, SCP-241 contains 99 
recipes, sorted into typical sections of a cookbook. Many of these 
recipes include a picture of the dish that is invariably appetizing, and 
a small percentage will call for rare or exotic ingredients. 


Whenever SCP-241 is opened by a subject (known as the Target) 
different from the one who last opened it (i.e. the previous Target), 
the recipes contained in the book change. Preliminary investigations 
concluded that if the Target eats a dish prepared from one of the 
recipes in SCP-241, that person soon dies from apparent 


At this time, | am ordering an immediate stop 

to Study 2123-245 due to the unacceptable 

risk of [REDACTED] indicated by several 

experiments conducted on site, and at Sites , 
, and 


| request an emergency containment meeting 
be held within the next 72 hours. Further 
concerns will be addressed at that time. 


Addendum 2123-Alpha 
The following document is classified Level 4-2123 clearance. 


All personnel receiving Level 4-2123 clearance are to be briefed 
using the following document. 


Level 4-2123 Clearance Required 
First of all, let me congratulate you on the promotion. 


Now, | know you're curious about what's behind those 
redacted brackets. If you weren't, then you wouldn't be 
reading this. You’ve been looking through SCP-2123’s 
documentation, trying to find any piece of information 
that could provide answers. There are a few nuggets of 
information that were intentionally left in the database, 
which we have watched you synthesize together over 
your time on this project. Maybe it’s been a month, 
maybe a year. 


But here we are. You found enough to come to your 
current conclusion, consciously or otherwise. You're 
sitting down in a private room and reading this text. Now 
is the time for answers. 


Yes, your conclusion was correct. Once again, if it 
wasn't, you wouldn't be reading this. So let’s remove all 
doubt from this. 


SCP-2123 Excursion Events cause CP-Inversion on a 


massive, possibly infinite scale. Our universe is 
converted from matter to antimatter, and vice versa, ona 
biweekly basis. 


Of course, we’re still here. The Earth continues around 
the sun as the sun circles our galaxy. Our multitude of 
objects stays in containment. Indeed, the change is 
subtle. 


But we know that the implications of this are, at best, 
rather unfortunate. Since our universe popped into 
existence, matter and antimatter were never perfect 
opposites. Matter was a small bit more stable, and a 
small bit more of it was produced, due to the 
phenomenon that you know as CP-Violation. It is 
because of this imperfect balance why anything exists in 
our universe at all. It is because of this asymmetry why 
we can notice the inversions caused by Excursion 
Events. It is this effect that now undermines the stability 
of every single object in creation. 


We estimate that at least . Yg of material have been 
annihilated thus far by excursion events. This, on its 
own, constitutes a YK-Class Restructuring scenario 
every two weeks. 


By receiving 4-2123 Clearance, you are being 
reassigned to research ways to stop Excursion Events. 
All data related to current testing is now available for you 
to read. Please keep all proposals focused on 
containment. Trying to use this thing to study our 
universe has done nothing but put everything at a great 
risk.

Addendum: Incident 2123-2008-3 
Level 5-2123 Clearance Required 


Following Incident 2123-2007, Dr. James Leary, the 


head researcher on Study 2123-245, was reassigned as 
consultant on SCP-2123. 


On March 8, 2008, SCP-2123 underwent a predicted 
Excursion Event at 1343 CST, which lasted 103 
seconds. Dr. Leary was assisting researchers testing 
new containment strategies at the time. Personnel 
observed Dr. Leary collapse and begin to vomit profusely 
upon the end of the Excursion Event. Dr Leary was 
transferred to Site-2123’s infirmary and found to be 
displaying symptoms consistent with an extremely high 
dose of ionizing radiation. Despite treatment, he expired 
12 hours later. 


2 minutes following his death, Dr. Leary’s body began to 
emit high levels of gamma radiation, resulting in minor 
damage to the medical ward, and 3 medical personnel 
receiving non-fatal doses. High levels of radiation 
continued to be emitted, before subsiding over the 
course of the next hour. No trace of Dr. Leary's body was 
found. 


Over the next three days, multiple personnel reported 
problems with the files regarding Incident 2123-2007. 
Examination found that all entries written by Dr. Leary, 
as well as all mentions of his name, had been blanked. 
Further investigation found this anomaly to also be 
affecting Dr. Leary’s Personnel File, and all other entries 
authored by him. 


Following this incident, other researchers have died 
under similar circumstances. The average distance 
between victims and SCP-2123 has increased by %.

SCP-2124: Conceptual Knife 


Item #: SCP-2124 
Object Class: Safe (pending review following test 2124-09) 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2124 should be kept in a 
secure storage locker, sized at least 50cm by 50cm by 10cm. This 
locker should be kept sterile, free of moisture and airtight whenever 
practicable in order to prevent SCP-2124 from deteriorating. 


A foam insert molded to fit a 20cm-length brand kitchen knife 
has been added to the inside of SCP-2124 following test 2124-04 
and, while removable, should be kept in place during approved tests 
pending approval from a senior researcher or other staff member of 
level-3 clearance or above. Any instances of SCP-2124-1 must be 
returned to the box, ideally to the molded insert, during standard 
storage. 


Testing of SCP-2124 is permitted by staff of level-2 clearance and 
above after filing of form F-2124-01. Following test 2124-09, testing 
of SCP-2124 is forbidden unless directly supervised by a staff 
member of level-4 clearance or above. 


Description: SCP-2124 is a large-sized pizza box, made out of 
double-layered brown cardboard. SCP-2124 contains grease- 
residue and upon initial discovery showed early signs of 

mold growth (removed upon standard sterilization procedure), but is 
otherwise in good condition for its age. Written in black ink, 
presumably by a black felt-tip-pen, upon the top of the box is the 
message 'CAREFUL! INVISIBLE KNIFE IN BOX’. 


All components of SCP-2124, including the ink on the warning, 
appear to be made of standard material with no anomalous 
properties. SCP-2124 is as vulnerable to damage as any cardboard 
pizza box, and care should be taken during testing to avoid any 
deterioration. 


A human being attempting to consciously "pick up the knife" or "find 
the knife" is successful in finding such an object!, designated an 
instance of SCP-2124-1. Subjects describing SCP-2124-1 frequently 
describe it using the following terms: 


* "It feels almost like empty air." 
* "It feels like | could crush it.” 
* "It might slip out of my hand if | close it too hard." 


SCP-2124-1 has no detectable weight or measurable presence, 
other than the (often uncertain) word of the subject holding the 
instance that they are holding the object. However, when instructed 
to cut objects using an instance of SCP-2124-1, the object is cut ina 
manner consistent with a sharp kitchen knife. SCP-2124-1 is able to 
cut through soft objects with no appreciable effort, through meat and 
firm objects with simple effort, through bone with moderate effort, 
and through steel with considerable effort. 


Exact dimensions and properties of instances of SCP-2124-1 
appears to vary with test subject and testing conditions. See the 
abridged test log, below, for additional information. 


The interior of SCP-2124 appears to be empty to standard 
inspection, without any evidence of an instance of SCP-2124-1. All 
non-human interaction (sweeping with tongs, brushes, metal 
detectors) with the interior produces results consistent with an empty 
box. Blindly feeling around the interior of SCP-2124 also produces 
the same result.

Test 2124-03 - 09/02/2012 


Subject(s): Researcher Clarent, under outside 
observation from Senior Researcher Knight 
and associated researchers. 


Events: After tests 2124-01 and 2124-02 
established the general properties of 
SCP-2124, Researcher Clarent tested the 
ability of SCP-2124-1 to cut various objects, 


especially those that are not normally easily 
damaged by a standard kitchen knife. All tests 
were performed in a standard Foundation 
testing room. 


Objects successfully cut: 


¢ Falling silk handkerchief 

¢ Small piece of SCP-2124 

¢ T-bone steak from standard Black 
Angus cow 

¢ Stainless-steel screw 


Objects unsuccessfully cut: 


¢ 2-carat diamond 

* Foundation containment-grade 
reinforced steel 

Material from SCP- 

Testing room security door (minor 
scratches sustained)

air around her, saying "It was worth a 
try." 


Test 2124-06 - 19/02/2012 


Subject(s): D-Class personnel D-903, D-108, 
D-299, as supervised by Senior Researcher 
Knight and associates 


Events: D-903 and D-108 were instructed to 
enter the testing area. D-903 was instructed to 
pick up the knife, then demonstrate its effects 
on a provided plate of butter by plunging 
SCP-2124-1 as deep into the butter as 
possible. This was accomplished without 
incident, to a depth of 20cm. 


D-108 was instructed to take a new knife from 


SCP-2124. D-108 attempted to retrieve an 
instance of SCP-2124-1, but failed and 
declared SCP-2124 to be empty. 


D-903 was instructed to hand the knife to 
D-108 handle-first. D-903 expressed difficulty 
in properly grasping the knife by the "safe bit 
of the blade" [sic] but managed to do so 
without issue. D-108 proceeded to confirm that 
they were holding a knife, and demonstrated 
on the provided butter, to a depth of 22.5cm. 


At this point, D-299 was instructed to enter the 
testing area and subjects D-903 and D-108 
were instructed to stand back and say nothing. 


D-299 was instructed to pick up a knife from 
the box and insert it into the butter as deep as 
it would go. D-299 was successful in inserting 
the instance of SCP-2124-1 to a depth of 
20cm. 


D-108 insisted that he still had the knife, and 
demonstrated this fact by successfully slashing 
at the butter. All three D-class expressed 
confusion, and D-903 insisted that he held no 
knife and waved his open hand at the butter to 
demonstrate. 


D-108 and D-299 were instructed to place both 
their knives inside SCP-2124, which was 
successfully performed. All D-class personnel 
were then instructed to take a knife from 
SCP-2124. Only D-903, who attempted to take 
an instance of SCP-2124-1 first, was 
successful. D-299 and D-108 both insisted that 
SCP-2124 was empty and contained no knife. 


D-903 complied with instructions to place the 
knife back into SCP-2124, and testing was 
concluded. 


Test 2124-09 - 21/04/2013 


Subject(s): D-Class personnel D-788, D-600, 
and D-962, as supervised by Senior 
Researcher Knight 


Events: D-Class were told that effects of 
SCP-2124-1 would be tested against itself as 
well as standard materials. D-Class were 
instructed to [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Following extensive testing and security 
intervention following the unruly behavior from 
D-600, all instances of SCP-2124-1 were 
placed back in SCP-2124, and testing was 
concluded. 


Addendum: 21 hours following the test, D-788 
succeeded in escaping their cell and severely 
injuring one member of security personnel 
before being tranquilised. D-788 claimed that 
"you only need to see the box once, if you 
know how". D-788 proved, under interrogation, 
that they were capable of producing an 
instance of SCP-2124-1. This instance varied 
significantly from the measurements of the 
molded insert placed in SCP-2124. 


When interrogated, D-600 and D-962 were 
incapable of producing SCP-2124-1 without 
taking it from SCP-2124. 


Footnotes 
1. After test 2124-02, it is recommended that subjects testing 
SCP-2124 are instructed to "pick up the handle of the knife".

SCP-2125: The Hanging Tree 


Item #: SCP-2125 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: An area of 10 square meters 
around the farthest-reaching branch of SCP-2125 is to be monitored 
by female personnel at all times. There will be no less than one 
guard posted inside a facility near SCP-2125 designed to look like 
an old wooden shed. The shed will have a rectangular hole such 
that anyone facing the hole would see a seated figure inside the 
shed. The words "Stephanie's Camping Paradise" are to be painted 
above the opening. Should any civilians approach the shed, they are 
to be informed that "Stephanie's Camping Paradise" is out of 
supplies. If the civilians remain after all attempts to maintain cover 
and persuade them to leave have been made, then personnel are 
authorized to remove them by force. 


Description: SCP-2125 is a white oak tree (Quercus alba) located 
in the Forest in , New York. It is 40 meters tall and 
has several branches that extend parallel to the ground. The longest 
of the branches is 35 meters. All of the branches are covered in an 
unknown species of vine that appears to be a different organism 
than the tree itself, though they terminate in its bark. The vines are 
wrapped around SCP-2125's branches and end in loops that hang 
off of the branches. The loops vary in diameter and are completely 
inactive until SCP-2125's anomalous properties manifest. 


When a human male, referred to as the "subject", enters the area 
beneath any branch of SCP-2125, a previously-inanimate vine from 
the branch above the subject will uncoil and seize him by wrapping 
its looped end around the subject's neck. The subject will then be 
lifted by the vine and suspended until he dies of asphyxiation. After 
the subject is deceased, the vine will release the body and return to 
an inactive state. 


All testing done with human females caused no anomalous reaction 
from SCP-2125. 


A disused portion of a dirt trail leads to an unmarked grave beneath 
SCP-2125. 


The letters "A" and "D" are carved into its trunk. 


Addendum-2125-A: Excavation of the grave site revealed the 
skeleton of a man aged 20 to 35 years as well as a collection of 
badly-damaged documents and a well-preserved noose. The 
documents and noose were protected from complete decomposition 
by a closed metal box. 


The legible parts of the documents have been transcribed below:

anaphylactic shock. Others who eat the same dish are not similarly 
affected. Testing has been authorized to determine the exact nature 
of SCP-241’s effects. 


SCP-241 appears to be impervious to getting dirty and to at least 
minor damage. For example, sauces splashed onto its pages 
disappear almost immediately, and torn pages and nicks on the 
cover are repaired within seconds. Testing on the limits of 
SCP-241’s durability are not authorized without approval from 
[DATA EXPUNGED] and [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Research on SCP-241 continues, including potential interaction with 
other SCP items. For more information on current experimentation, 
please see the Supplemental Testing Log. 


Directive 241-S06, / /20 


In light of recent test results with SCP-241, no further testing of 
SCP-241 on personnel without pre-existing food allergies is 
authorized without Level 4 Security Clearance. Testing may 
continue on personnel with pre-existing food allergies as long as 
documentation of said allergies has been filed with [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. —O5- . 


Directive 241-S09, / /20 


Reclassification of SCP-241 to Euclid class is denied. Honestly, the 
cookbook? Leave it in its room and everything’s fine. It's no one 
else’s fault if you don’t know what you're allergic to and don't bother 
to find out beforehand. Unless you're cooking for your significant 
other, then you’d better know. —O5- . 


Directive 241-S11, / /20 


Cross-testing SCP-241 with other SCPs will be considered on a 
case-by-case basis. Exposure to SCP-682 has already been 
considered and denied. —O5- .

LOCAL HALF-WIT CHARGED WITH MURDER, 
HANGED UNTIL DEAD 


Daniel , ayoung man employed by the family, 

was executed yesterday. Those interviewed described 

Daniel as "a simple soul" that "would never harm 

anyone". Townspeople were therefore shocked to learn 

that Danny was obsessed with Mr. 's daughter, 

Annie. He imagined that they were in love and that Mr. 
and his three sons were conspiring to keep Ms. 
from him. Ms. declined to comment. 


His last words were: "I'll never let another man touch 
you, Annie! No one else will love you or meet you under 


our tree, | swear it! | won't let them!" 
He was hanged off of the old oak tree.

SCP-2126: Letter from Grandma 


Photocopy of SCP-2126. Click to 
enlarge. 


Item #: SCP-2126 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2126 is to be kept in an 
opaque plastic sleeve and held within a moisture-controlled storage 
locker. 


Description: SCP-2126 is a letter written in blue ink on a ruled 
sheet of P4 paper. It is addressed to a person identified as “Davey” 
and appears to be written by said person’s grandmother. Two 
horizontal creases in the paper suggest that it was at some point 
folded into thirds and placed in an envelope. It reads as follows: 


January Third, 1970 
My Dearest Davey, 


It was so nice to see you for Christmas last week. | 
always enjoy the time we spend together, especially now 
that you are studying at university. | can’t believe my little 
Davey is going to be a doctor! 


Still, | wish you had decided to attend a school that 
wasn’t on the West Coast. There are plenty of good 
schools here in New England. You could have been 
close enough to visit all the time. Besides, | think those 
California boys have become a bad influence on you. | 
can’t imagine you going to church with your hair grown 
out like this. When you were turned around, | almost 
mistook you for your sister. 


But I’m just a silly old woman. | guess boys will be boys. 


Or girls. These are strange times. 


With Much Love, 
Grandma 


When SCP-2126 is read aloud from beginning to end, all of the 
reader’s hair follicles will immediately cease normal function and 
begin to pull hairs downward through the dermis and into adjacent 
tissues.! Once there is no more hair above a particular follicle, the 
follicle will begin contributing cells to the inward-growing hair. 


This process proceeds at a rate of 1.25 cm per month, 
approximating the average rate of human hair growth. The process 
ceases for follicles producing body hair once the hair reaches the 
length the follicle would produce normally (such as for vellus and 
androgenic hair), but will proceed indefinitely for cranial hair should 
the person affected have live follicles within the dermis of their scalp. 


Autopsies have shown that the inverted hairs of individuals affected 
by SCP-2126 will grow uninhibited even through particularly dense 
tissues such as cartilage and bone. Following greatly reduced 
mobility caused by hair growing through muscle and nerve tissue, 
death by SCP-2126 occurs once vital organs are sufficiently 
penetrated. 


Reading recorded video, photographs, photocopies, or transcripts of 
SCP-2126 does not produce this effect. 


Addendum: The effect of SCP-2126 can be temporarily halted with 
chemicals that prevent hair growth or by surgical removal of follicles. 
As the affected individual's body will quickly produce new follicles to 
replace those removed, the effect can be permanently halted only 
through surgical removal of the dermis. 


Footnotes 
1. The mechanism producing this effect is unknown and currently 
under investigation.

SCP-2127: Hinterkai-fun! 


Item #: SCP-2127 
Object Class: Neutralized (formerly Safe) 


Special Containment Procedures: The shrine that SCP-2127 rests 
upon, and the surrounding area, are to be shut off to the public on 
grounds of restorative construction. No fewer than two guards are to 
be present at all times. If a civilian attempts to come into contact 
with SCP-2127, guards are to detain said civilian for questioning, 
administering a class-C amnestic afterward. If a civilian shows any 
knowledge of the properties of SCP-2127, or of the existence of 
SCP-2127-1, guards are authorized to administer class-B amnestics 
as necessary. 


Description: SCP-2127 is a sheet of paper that sits on the ledge of 
a memorial shrine in the hamlet of Kaifeck, Germany. The words 
“Who dunnit!?” (sic) are printed on the paper in the Comic Sans MS 
font. When a subject or subjects pick up SCP-2127, it is activated 
and they are instantaneously transported to SCP-2127-1. After each 
occurrence of SCP-2127 being activated, the paper will reappear on 
the ledge of the shrine until a subject or subjects come into contact 
with it again. It should be noted that a maximum of two people can 
be transported by one instance of SCP-2127. 


Based upon information available in the Foundation database, along 
with public records, SCP-2127-1 is a replica of the farmstead 
Hinterkaifeck and the surrounding towns, Ingolstadt and 
Schrobenhausen. The only characteristic that keeps SCP-2127-1 
from being an exact representation of the area, based off of 
photographic documentation and reports from subjects introduced to 
SCP-2127, is the complete absence of human life save for the 
bodies of six unnamed people; three women, one man, and two 
children. 


Records show that a family of five, along with their maid, were killed 


in Hinterkaifeck on March 31st, 1922. Calendars within the 
farmhouse show the date to be April 1st. The presence of these 
calendars, along with the fact that the farmstead is still standing in 
SCP-2127-11, point to SCP-2127-1 taking place the day after the 
killings. It is worth noting that the shrine that SCP-2127 rests upon 
while inactive is dedicated to the family in question. 


After containment by the Foundation, two D-Class personnel were 
sent into SCP-2127-1: one male, age 24 at time of testing, and one 
female, age 31 at time of testing. As a control experiment, the D- 
Class were instructed to stay within four square yards of the spot 
they materialized in for the duration of their time within the anomaly. 
During debriefing, both subjects stated that once they were within 
SCP-2127-1, all color was absent, replaced by only black and white. 
The sound of jazz music was also noticed by both personnel upon 
entrance. 


It was discovered through this experiment that female subjects 
materialize in SCP-2127-1 wearing a gray dress, while male 
subjects appear wearing a dark pinstripe suit and a gray trilby. This 
attire has been consistent in later tests. Both the suit and the dress 
bear badges for the Munich Police Department. The two D-Class 
observed no strange characteristics in the clothing. 


All paraphernalia and clothing that was on the person of subjects 
upon coming into contact with SCP-2127 will disappear upon 
entrance into SCP-2127-1, and is returned upon exiting. Conversely, 
all paraphernalia gathered while within SCP-2127-1 disappears 
upon exiting. After 24 hours within SCP-2127-1, subjects will be 
returned to the shrine, along with a card reading “Maybe next time, 
detective!” There has been one exception to this. (see Exploration 
Log 2127-1A) 


List of Materials Given to subjects upon Entrance to 
SCP-2127-1: 


* One (1) .857 Magnum Trooper handgun, fully loaded (upon 
testing, it was discovered that the rounds were blanks) 


* One (1) plastic flashlight with replacement batteries 


Two (2) sticks of white chalk 

Three (3) numbered evidence bags 
One (1) notepad and pen 

One (1) pack of candy cigarettes 
+Exploration Log 2127-1A 


The following is a summary of information taken from 
various interviews with Agent Daniel Jackson. Agent 
Jackson and Agent Lukas Keller were assigned to enter 
SCP-2127-1 on May 12th, 20 , chosen due to their 
extensive knowledge of criminalistics, along with Agent 
Keller's fluency in the German language. The Agents 
were tasked with attempting to fulfill the implied purpose 
of SCP-2127, finding the murderer of the bodies within 
SCP-2127-1. (Documents on previous, unsuccessful 
missions can be seen upon written request.) 


00:00 - Expected jazz music begins immediately. Agents 
head toward the barn, where four of the six bodies are 
known to be located. 


01:14 - Areas in which the bodies are located have all 
been reached, with no pieces of evidence found. It is 
noted that the farm animals have been fed, and coals are 
observed still burning in the fireplace. 


01:40 - On the way back to the farmhouse after briefly 
exploring the field directly north of the farmstead, where 
the Agents believed they saw movement, Agent Keller 
trips on a shard of cast iron embedded in the ground, 
uncovering a set of footprints described as “charred into” 
the frozen ground, presumably hidden by a fresh 
snowfall the night before. Agent Jackson reports that the 
jazz music that was playing constantly in the background 
grew noticeably quieter when this occurred. 


01:53 - It is discovered that the footprints, which appear 


to be those of bare feet instead of the expected boot 
prints, originate from the basement window of the 
farmhouse. Agents enter through the front door, making 
their way to the basement entrance. 


02:02 - After much struggle, the Agents are able to open 
the door to the basement. The lock of the door, thought 
to be the source of the struggle, is easily broken; it is 
discovered that a mattock was used to prop the door 
shut. The wooden shaft was snapped under the pressure 
of the Agents’ efforts to open the door. 


02:16 - After thoroughly searching the basement of the 
home, which contained a cot that “smelled like someone 
used it as their john for a good week”, the Agents left the 
home to head into the woods. 


05:29 - Just short of 5 and a half hours into the expected 
24, Agent Jackson appeared back at the shrine, in the 
clothing he was wearing beforehand as expected. On his 
person was a sheet of paper, the same proportions as 
SCP-2127, reading “You did it, detective! Thank you for 
playing 'Who Dunnit?: Hinterkai-fun! Edition”. After 
discovering that the Agent was unconscious, supervising 
researchers immediately transported the agent to a 
nearby hospital, where he was admitted under the guise 
of a construction accident and treated for internal 
bleeding and three broken ribs. 


Note from Dr. , overseer of SCP-2127 exploration: The 
events of the roughly 3 hours between when Agent Keller and Agent 
Jackson left the basement of SCP-2127-1 and when Agent Jackson 
returned to the shrine are unclear, as Agent Jackson’s report of the 
events from that point on have varied greatly. The means by which 
the Agents entered the forest has been reported by Agent Jackson 
as “We walked into”, “We were pulled into”, and “He had been 
seeing us having been called into” on different occasions. The latter 
of the three reports was deciphered from Agent Jackson’s mostly 
unintelligible rambling directly after the incident. Due to the intensive 
therapy that Agent Jackson needed to undergo to extract the 
information currently available, interviews are suspended until 


further notice. It can be reasonably assumed, however, that Agent 
Jackson discovered the perpetrator of the murders, as SCP-2127 
did not reappear after this exploration. 


+ Addendum 2127-A - Level 3 Access Required 


On June ist, 20 , approximately two weeks after the 
final test on SCP-2127, two VHS tapes were delivered to 
Dr. Marten’s Foundation mailbox. The means by which 
the tapes arrived there is unknown. Each tape bears the 
text “Hinterkai-fun custom VHS set - Reissue of the 
classic nor [sic] film!!!” handwritten in black felt-tip 
marker. Research is currently ongoing into if other copies 
of the tapes exist, and evidence of such tapes is to be 
immediately reported to Dr. Marten, or any personnel of 
level 4 clearance or higher. 


The contents of the tapes are footage of Agent Keller 
and Agent Jackson while within SCP-2127-1. Although 
Agent Jackson didn’t report any cameras present within 
SCP-2127-1, there are many shots where the camera 
would have been visible to both agents. The first VHS 
tape shows the series of events from when the agents 
materialized within SCP-2127-1 until their breaking down 
of the basement door in the farmhouse, at which point 
the screen fades to black, and “THE END” is shown. 


The second of the two tapes is marked “bonus footage” 
on the spine, also in black felt-tip marker. Although the 
footage on the second VHS tape is of noticeably worse 
quality than the first, with audio and video cutting out 
sporadically, it appears to show the agents leaving the 
home, as well as portions of the events after they enter 
the forest. 


Approximately 20 minutes into the tape, a section of 
footage occurs which shows Agent Keller being caught in 
a primitive rope trap while the agents are making their 
way through a section of dense underbrush. After 
attempting to free Agent Keller for approximately one 
minute, Agent Jackson retreats to the farmhouse, locking 


himself in the maid's bedchamber. It can be deduced that 
the agent is being pursued, as he frequently makes 
backward glances as he is approaching the home. The 
sound of scraping metal can also be heard while Agent 
Jackson is within the maid's bedchamber, presumably 
emanating from outside the door. Shortly after the agent 
realizes that he is without his pen and notebook, with 
footage showing that they were dropped in the forest, 
audio and visuals cut out for five minutes and six 
seconds. 


When audio and video are restored, Agent Jackson is 
seen jumping frantically at an unconscious Agent Keller. 
What appear to be severe burns are present on the face 
and forearms of Agent Jackson; the reason for these 
burns not being present at time of return is unknown. 
Keller's notebook is seen falling out of his suit pocket, 
and Agent Jackson absconds with it. Approximately 15 
seconds after Jackson exits the shot to the left, an 
unknown entity, temporarily deemed SCP-2127-2, enters 
to the right, apparently in pursuit of the agent. 


Although the poor quality of recording and rate of 
movement of the subject make it difficult to make out 
characteristics, SCP-2127-2 appears to be holding half 
of the mattock used to block the door of the farmhouse 
basement. Approximately ten seconds after SCP-2127-2 
exits the frame, the video cuts out, with 20 minutes and 
17 seconds of tape left on the supply reel. During 
playback of this "blank" section, distressed vocalizations 
can be heard intermittently. It is not known whether these 
vocalizations are those of Agent Jackson, SCP-2127-2, 
or some unknown third party. 


Research into evidence of SCP-2127-2 within a 2- 
kilometer radius of the shrine where SCP-2127 was 
formerly situated is currently underway. If any evidence 
is found of SCP-2127-2 either having been there or 
currently residing there, the information contained in this 
addendum is to be immediately made open to all 


The Foundation became aware of SCP-241 in April 20 , 
while investigating reports of a “black widow’ in er 
named . Mrs. had been married four 
times, and all four of her husbands had died shortly after 
eating a meal at home. However, since authorities never 
found evidence of foul play, Mrs. was never 
charged with any crime. Subsequent interviews with Mrs. 
by Foundation personnel revealed the existence of 
SCP-241, at which time SCP-241 was seized by 
Foundation agents. Mrs. revealed that she had 
first realized there was something unusual with SCP-241 
when [DATA EXPUNGED]. See document [DATA 
EXPUNGED] for transcripts of interviews with Mrs.

Display Initial Testing Log 


All tests on SCP-241 were carried out in Test Kitchens at 
Site-19, using D-class personnel for test subjects, unless 
otherwise indicated. 


Test 241-01, / /20 


Subject: Subject 241-A was chosen from 
general population. No unusual traits selected 
for. 


Procedure: Subject 241-A was presented 
SCP-241 while closed and instructed to open 
it, choose a recipe, prepare it, and eat it, while 
giving feedback during the entire process. 


Results: Before exposure to SCP-241, subject 
declared that he had “never cooked anything 
more complicated than Ramen noodles.” 
Subject opened SCP-241, reporting nothing 
unusual. Subject looked through recipes in 
SCP-241, choosing Sautéed Scallops ina 


clearance levels and upgrade to Euclid class is to be 
considered. Due to information made available by the 
VHS tapes, Agent Keller's status is to be changed from 
MIA to KIA. Researchers wishing to gain access to the 
VHS tapes are required to acquire written permission 
from two personnel of Level 04 Clearance or higher. 
Research of the tapes by Dr. Marten is ongoing in an 
attempt to discover in more detail the properties of 
SCP-2127-1.

needed. The list of statements to be used in EP 37-Sparafucile will 
be provided by the O5 Council and may be amended during 
experimentation at the Site Director's discretion. 


EP 37-Sparafucile 


1. One D-class employee, referred to as the 
"messenger," will be laid inside SCP-2128. 


2. The messenger will repeat statements as instructed 
from the prepared list. 


3. After each statement, if the messenger remains 
unharmed, the statement is to be marked as "true." 


4. As soon as the messenger is incinerated, a new 
messenger is to be provided. The statement that 
triggered the incineration is to be marked as "false." 


5. Anew messenger will be assigned. Repeat as 
needed. 


Description: SCP-2128 is a vaulted stone furnace in the ruins of a 
castle, 23km from . The two openings are 1m high, and the 
length is 3m. Documentation discovered onsite (a sheepskin scroll 
known as the "Ignis Manuscript") revealed that SCP-2128 was 
created by agents of the Brazen Heart? in the late ninth century CE 


as a torture’ and execution device, named "The Liars' Cradle." 


When a human subject fully enters SCP-2128 and makes a true 
statement, nothing will happen. If the spoken statement should be a 
lie, the human subject will be completely incinerated by unknown 
means. 


Upon discovery, SCP-2128's two openings were covered in brick 
and mortar. The Ignis manuscript indicates that SCP-2128 was 
walled up in 1021 CE and its use was discontinued. This was due to 
a flaw in the method of lie detection: SCP-2128 considers all 
factually untrue statements to be lies, regardless of the subject's 
intention or prior knowledge. 


SCP-2128 has displayed knowledge on a true/false basis of highly 
classified and previously unknown information. While the true scope 
of SCP-2128's knowledge (and reliability thereof) is unknown, 
proactive usage of EP 37-Sparafucile has prevented XK-class end- 
of-the-world scenarios on four separate occasions.

SCP-2129: Hot-Blooded Snake 


Item #: SCP-2129 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2129 is to be kept in its 
dormant state in a specially-designed, vacuum-sealed container with 
walls composed of ten centimeters of Tungsten backed by one 
meter of concrete. The containment chamber requires a self- 
contained oxygen regulation system, in the form of an inert gas fire 
suppression system. The container must be monitored by no less 
than six thermal cameras at all times without exception, and be 
equipped by one loudspeaker allowing communication in Morse. All 
equipment must be encased in five centimeters of blast-resistant 
laminated glass. A ten meters-long corridor must lead to the 
containment chamber, and be designed in the same manner. 


No personnel is allowed to enter SCP-2129's container while it 
hasn't been deoxygenated under any circumstances, and must wear 
sealed bomb suits when doing so. 


In the event of a containment breach, Procedure Perkele-1 is to be 
initiated under the briefest delays. 


+ Procedure Perkele-1 


Near Site has been built a 150 meters-deep well 
reinforced with the same tungsten and Zetix composing 
SCP-2129's container's walls, sealed with a vacuum-tight 
steel door and hidden by the surrounding vegetation: at 
the bottom of this well have been placed approximately 
twenty (20) tons of ANFO. SCP-2129's demeanor will 
push it to fly down the well, as it will be attracted by the 
large quantity of explosives: the well will then be flooded 
with both a set of pumps and Foundation personnel 
trained for the exercise. SCP-2129, once confirmed to be 


neutralized and docile, is to be retrieved from the bottom 
of the well by a team of three staff members specifically 
trained to retrieve SCP-2129 under such circumstances. 


Description: SCP-2129 is an invisible entity manifesting itself by a 
continuous stream of detonations. It possesses the ability to levitate 
and fly in three dimensions, and is able to reach speeds of up to 152 
kilometers per hour. Detonations happen continuously while the 
creature is moving, with a general frequency of two per second. The 
explosions’ energy output has been estimated to be in the 
neighbourhood of 5 gigajoules, or the equivalent of 1.2 tons of TNT. 
It has been theorized that detonating is either its means of energy 
production or a side-effect of it. Likewise, study of the creature's 
flight patterns have shown changes of directions correlated to its 
detonations. 


Thermal cameras show, in the absence of explosions, an oblong, 
serpentine body approximately a meter long, with no other 
discernible characteristics. Experiments to discover more about the 
characteristics entity's physical body are currently being devised. 


SCP-2129 necessitates air to detonate: it will do so continuously 
until it has consumed all the available air, after which it will enter a 
dormant state and only resume activity when more oxygen is 
available. It is unknown what process the creature uses to create the 
detonation, as no trace of any known explosive has ever been found 
to have been emitted by it. The entity appears to be attracted by 
explosives and explosives substances, and displays an ability to 
sense them through hard surfaces by an unknown process. 


SCP-2129 also appears to possess sapience. This is evidenced by 
its ability to modulate the strength and length of the detonations it 
emits to communicate in Portuguese using a rough, sometimes 
inexact version of morse code: it is able to communicate in short 
sentences in this manner, and is able to understand messages 
communicated in the same manner. 


Extended conversations have revealed that SCP-2129 displays a 
generally cooperative but melancholic demeanor, mostly expressing 
frustration concerning its containment and wishes to be released 
and made able to roam freely. 


SCP-2129 was captured on - -20 , following its destruction of the 
coastal town of [REDACTED], Brazil, causing the deaths of 
inhabitants and injuring others. The incident was publicly attributed 
to a terrorist attack by explosives, and efforts to fabricate proof 
corroborating this version of the facts are still ongoing. All known 
survivors have been administered standard Class-3 amnesia 
treatment. The area should be closed-off under the pretense of an 
Ongoing investigation: civilians and possible investigators alike 
should be discouraged from the premises by any means necessary. 


+ Interview Log 


Foreword: This constitutes the seventh 
interview conducted with SCP-2129. Previous 
interviews confirmed SCP-2129's capacity for 
communication, and had permitted Dr. — to 
refine his methods of interview. 


<Begin Log, - -20, 14:23> 


Dr : Good day, SCP-2129. May | have your 
attention? 


SCP-2129: Cold in here. Suffocate. 


Dr :Do you remember the town where we 
captured you? 


SCP-2129: The town. Yes. More oxygen, more 
space. 


Dr_ : We have pictures of you before that. Do 
you remember the military base? 


SCP-2129: Fire, weapons, yes. But not home. 
Dr :"Home"? 
SCP-2129: The navel of fire, mother's womb. 


Dr _ : What is this "mother"? Did it create you? 


White Wine Sauce. Subject prepared the 
Sautéed Scallops from the recipe in SCP-241, 
and when complete, remarked that he did not 
know he could do that. Subject declared that 
the prepared dish smelled “fantastic”, and 
while eating it, declared, “This is the best thing 
I’ve ever eaten!” 


Three minutes after completing the meal, 
subject started showing symptoms of 
anaphylactic shock. Subject was treated with 
emergency doses of epinephrine, but 
treatment was not effective. Subject died from 
anaphylactic shock six minutes afterward (later 
confirmed by autopsy). A subsequent 
examination of SCP-241 revealed that 81 of its 
recipes called for shellfish. SCP-241 was left 
open. 


Analysis: Results are consistent with previous 
descriptions of the effects of SCP-241. 


Test 241-02, / /20 


Subject: Subject 241-B was chosen from 
general population. Subject reports no known 
allergies to scallops or other shellfish. 


Procedure: SCP-241 was still open from Test 
241-01. Subject 241-B was instructed to not 
close SCP-241, find the Sautéed Scallops 
recipe, prepare it, and eat it, while giving 
feedback during the entire process. 


Results: Before exposure to SCP-241, subject 
expressed doubt that he’d be able to prepare 
the Sautéed Scallops recipe. After preparing 
the dish, subject expressed surprise that he 
had done so, similarly to the reaction of 
Subject 241-A, and said that the dish smells 
“oretty good”. While eating, subject declared 


SCP-2129: Purpose of existence. Find the pit 
of fire, reproduction. | was chosen. 


Dr :ls there another of you? 
SCP-2129: Merely an intermediate. 
<End Log> 
+ SCP-2129-1 


SCP-2129-1 is a serpentine entity located underneath 
the southern region of the Amazonian rainforest. A safe 
way to reach SCP-2129-1 is currently being devised by 
Site personnel: a sinkhole located above SCP-2129-1 is 
the only currently-known manner to reach it. 


An extremely complex network of stone tunnels 
(hereafter called SCP-2129-2) of unknown origins has 
been dug above and around SCP-2129-1, with the 
supposed purpose of stopping potential intruders from 
reaching the entity. Hundreds of human skeletons have 
been found in the tunnels.1 


SCP-2129-1 appears to produce large amounts of heat. 
Extensive geothermal analyses have uncovered heat 
patterns consistent with underground volcanic hotspots, 
while geological studies have shown the entity to 
measure a length in the neighbourhood of ten kilometers. 


SCP-2129-2 is to be guarded by three armed guards at 
all times. 


Addendum: Following Incident 2129-01, all the 
vegetation in a fifty meters radius around SCP-2192-2 is 
to be burnt down, and the number of guards quadrupled. 


+ Incident Log 


Incident 2129-01: On - -20 , four men armed with 
bladed weapons attempted to enter SCP-2129-2 at 
00:52, using the area's dense vegetation as cover. The 


four intruders killed one of the guards and injured 
another. Two intruders were gunned down and one 
subdued and captured: the fourth one managed to enter 
SCP-2129. 


Reinforcements were called to pursue the fourth intruder 
and take the subdued attacker into Foundation custody. 
An exploration team was sent into SCP-2129-2, but 
failed to capture the intruder: the exploration team was 
then tasked with guarding the sinkhole leading to 
SCP-2129-2. 


Stronger thermal activity from SCP-2129-1 was recorded 
after the incident. 


The detainee was vaccinated for most common diseases 
immediately after detainment. 


+ Interview Log, SCP-2129-2 Detainee 


Foreword: The detainee is a twenty to twenty- 
five years old Amerindian man, 181 
centimeters tall and weighing 64 kilograms. He 
has so so far refused to communicate his 
name or tribe of origin, and speaks a 
bastardized version of Brazilian Portuguese as 
well as an unknown language resembling the 
Xavante Amerindian language. 


<Begin Log, - -20, 19:53> 


Dr : Good evening. | suppose you haven't 
decided to tell us your name? 


Detainee: | haven't. 


Dr_: Right, let's get to the meat of this, then. 
Why did you try to enter the sinkhole? 


Detainee: | hear it in your voice, you hate me 
for that man who died. We did not want to kill. 
But you were here, with your weapons, we 


knew you would have never let us into the 
navel. So we attacked, and my brother made 
it. 


Dr_: This is irrelevant. Why did you try to 
enter the sinkhole? 


Detainee: The navel. The progenitor's 
intermediate was lost, so she needed another. 


Dr _ : Excuse me, but... the "intermediate"? 


Detainee: The serpent of fire. You would not 
know what I'm speaking of. 


Dr_ :1 think we do, actually. It destroyed that 
town, [REDACTED]. We are studying it at this 
very moment... But tell me, what is its 
purpose? 


Detainee: The liquid fire deep within the land 
moves, it shifts. It is the origin of life, the first 

warmth. No life could be without it. But as the 
woman cannot give life without a man's seed, 
so can't the land. My brother will find the way.

« SCP-2128 | SCP-2129 | SCP-2130 » 


SCP-2130: Office Furniture 


Item #: SCP-2130 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-2130 are 
to be sent to Storage Location 73-E, an automated storage 
warehouse in the Texas desert. Storage Location 73-E is to be 
monitored via CCTV. Guard presence should be minimised where 
possible. Any further testing of SCP-2130 must not be conducted at 
primary Foundation sites, and requires Level-3 clearance 
(particularly any tests involving human subjects). 


SCP-3311 is to be monitored for any instances of SCP-2130 
produced by its effect. 


Description: SCP-2130 is a collection of standard office furniture, 
each item of which affects brain function in humans near the item. 
The magnitude of this effect varies based on the subject's 
underlying personality and the number of SCP-2130 items in 
proximity, but it is characterised by increased impulsiveness, 
reduced social inhibitions and inaccurate perception of risk. This is 
particularly evident in the subject's assessment of the value of 
human life and health. SCP-2130 instances have been implicated in 
more than 84 Foundation injuries and fatalities. 1 


SCP-2130 instances operate by emitting kappa radiation in a form 
which interferes with the subject's neural oscillation. While other 
psionic and cognitive anomalies also produce kappa radiation as a 
benign secondary effect, the method by which SCP-2130 generates 
such radiation is unknown. The anomalous effect is not permanent, 
and removal of the affected items will result in the subject's 
behaviour returning to normal. 


To date, the following instances of SCP-2130 have been identified 
and moved to Storage Location 73-E: 


1 x wastepaper basket 

27 x standard office chairs 
12 x laboratory benches 
42 x computer monitors 
17 x fire extinguishers 


+ Selected Test Logs: SCP-2130 
Test SCP-2130-23 - 03/14/2014 


Subject: C-1296 

Procedure: Subject (a Foundation research 
assistant) was introduced to a room containing 
an instance of SCP-2130 (lab bench) on which 
was placed a non-anomalous chef's knife. 
Subject was informed that the knife was a 
newly identified SCP candidate object which 
could cut through any material and never 
became blunt. Subject was asked to devise an 
experimental procedure to test these 
anomalous properties. 

Results: The subject proposed immediate 
testing of the knife on human flesh and bone. 
Observation team approved the testing 
protocol, which was carried out on D-8477, 
and then repeated on D-8488, D-8489 and 
D-8490 for verification of results. Observation 
team noted that the subject appeared to show 
no concern over the slaughter of Class D 
personnel purely for the purposes of a simple 
experiment. 

Analysis: On supervisor review, it was 
determined that the properties of SCP-2130 
had affected the observation team as well as 
the subject. Changes to experimental 
procedure proposed. 


Test SCP-2130-25 - 03/24/2014 


Subjects: Randomly selected Site-73 
research assistants 


Procedure: As per Test SCP-2130-23, but 
testing room relocated to Storage Location 73- 
E, with observation team monitoring remotely 
from a location confirmed to be free from 
SCP-2130. 

Results: Compared to a control group, the 
experimental group were significantly more 
likely to propose testing of the knife on live 
humans before testing on inorganic material, 
plants or animals. In addition, the experimental 
group were more likely to propose immediate 
testing to see if the knife could, amongst other 
things, cut through: 


* multiple Class D subjects simultaneously 

* the doors of containment cells currently 
in use 

* anomalous items or entities, particularly 
those of Keter-class 

¢ Uranium atoms 

¢ "the fabric of reality" 


Analysis: The observation team immediately 
notified the Site Director of the potential 
contamination of experimental protocols by 
SCP-2130. On return to Site-73, the 
observation team amended its report to 
request that SCP-2130 instances be stored in 
or near Keter-class containment units, to 
reduce the reluctance of D Class personnel to 
work with dangerous items. Request denied by 
the Site Director. 


+ Site Director Communique - 
Access Requires Level 4 Clearance 


From: Director, Site-73 
To: All Site Directors; O5 Council 
Date: 07/18/2014 


You may know of our discovery of SCP-2130. 


What has not been disclosed to staff is that 
every instance of SCP-2130 identified to date 
has been recovered from within Site-73 itself. 
That first waste-paper basket was inside my 
office. The affected furniture has been traced 
to a range of security-cleared suppliers, and 
investigations into the original manufacturer 
are ongoing. The result is that SCP-2130 
instances are probably unnoticed in many 
Foundation sites. 


We have reconditioned scanners that help 
detect them, but background kK-radiation at 
Foundation sites means we need physical 
contact with an object to get a clear reading. 
We are now scanning all new deliveries to 
Site-73, as well as checking individual items 
across the site. This is consuming a high level 
of resources, but | have classed this as a 
priority 2B exercise, and | strongly urge you to 
authorise similar measures across the 
Foundation. The reasons should be obvious: 


1. SCP-2130 undermines the Foundation's 
purpose by fostering a cavalier attitude 
to containment. If safety ceases to be 
our utmost priority, we fail in our task. 

2. Subjects tested with SCP-2130 also 
demonstrate reckless disregard for 
Class D personnel. | know we 
sometimes need to put them in harm's 
way for the greater good, but these are 
human lives in our hands. Even if you 
don't agree with me on humanitarian 
grounds, you have to bow to the 
economics - fewer Class D casualties 
would reduce Foundation costs and 
improve productivity. 

3. Conducting research in the presence of 
SCP-2130 instances leads to a range of 


dangerous behaviours, including 
unnecessary cross-testing and 
experiments that appear to any rational 
mind to maximise the chance of death 
and injury to Foundation staff and 
civilians. 


It's clear that Foundation security has been 
dramatically compromised by an organisation 
with great expertise on anomalies, huge 
resources, and a purpose inimical to ours. 
Removing SCP-2130 instances from all 
Foundation facilities should be high on our 
collective agenda. 


Request: Detection of SCP-2130 to be made 
Priority 2B at all Sites. 


SD-73 


From: O05 Council 
Date: 07/18/2014 


Request denied. SCP-2130 does not justify 
Priority 2B. Individual sites may conduct 
scanning as resources allow. Current Class D 
turnover rates considered acceptable. We 
don't see anything unnecessarily risky in the 
Foundation's current approach. 


Footnotes 

1. This does not count Class D casualties, as it has been deemed 
too time-consuming to determine the influence of SCP-2130 on such 
a large sample. 


« SCP-2129 | SCP-2130 | SCP-2131 » 


SCP-2131: Antipope 


Item #: SCP-2131 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2131 is to be housed at all 
times in a radiation shielded humanoid containment chamber. This 
chamber is to contain the amenities associated with a standard 
humanoid containment cell. Current containment protocols are to 
allow SCP-2131 to perform a prayer ritual of its own design for the 
purpose of limiting gamma ray events. Under no circumstances 
should this ritual be interrupted by staff. 


Under no circumstances are interviews to take place during the two 
hours preceding or following a scheduled gamma ray event. All 
interviews must take place utilizing the adjacent shielded interview 
room, which is to include a barrier sufficient to shield the interviewer 
from any gamma ray radiation emitted during an SCP-2131 gamma 
ray event. 


Description: SCP-2131 is a human male claiming to be Avignon 
Pope Benedict XIII. Upon acquisition SCP-2131 was capable of 
conversing in a variation of archaic Italian and French, as well as 
Latin, and a previously unknown creoled language associated with 
those three (though SCP-2131 has, during its containment, become 
fluent in English). Every 16 hours SCP-2131 emits a gamma ray 
burst associated with a spontaneous conversion of a small amount 
of its mass into antimatter. 


A daily prayer ritual designed and carried out by SCP-2131 has 
proven largely effective in preventing these gamma ray bursts. 
However, uncontrolled events have become more frequent as 
containment of SCP-2131 has continued, with the prayer ritual 
showing effectiveness in approximately 95% of events. 


Gamma ray exposure associated with SCP-2131 is lethal to most 


living organisms present during an event, with the exception of 
SCP-2131 and a variety of radiation resistant micro-organisms. 
SCP-2131's apparent longevity (including a claim to have been born 
in 1328) has been linked to the gamma ray bursts, as any physical 
injury is healed during uncontrolled events. This has included injury 
sufficient to cause death. 


SCP-2131 was originally recovered from Joshua Baptist Church in 
south Alabama. Several deacons in the church acquired information 
through the Seventh Society’ in an effort to assist in a ritual relating 
to a blood sacrifice. Documents detailing this correspondence have 
been recovered. However, the individual claiming association with 
the Seventh Society has not been located despite cooperative 
attempts by both the Foundation and Marshall Carter and Dark. 


+ Show Interview Log 4 


The following log includes information detailing 
SCP-2131's claimed origin. The Daevites, as 
mentioned, appear nowhere in the historical 
time period associated with SCP-2131. 


Dr. Sampson: Hello again. I'd like to ask you 
a few more questions today. You were born in 
1328, correct? 


SCP-2131: Yes. 


Dr. Sampson: And how have you been able to 
live for as long as you have? 


SCP-2131: My faith in him has sustained me. 


Dr. Sampson: Can you tell me about where 
you came from? 


SCP-2131: You must return me to my home. 


Dr. Sampson: We do not know how to do that, 
and right now | need you to answer my 
questions. 


that the dish was “pretty good” and again 
expressed surprise that he had cooked it. 
Subject did not suffer anaphylactic shock or 
any other adverse effect after completing the 
meal. Post-testing observation of subject 
revealed no long-term effects from eating the 
dish. SCP-241 was left open. 


Analysis: Results are consistent with previous 
descriptions of the effects of SCP-241. 
Suspect that SCP-241 may somehow improve 
the cooking skill of whoever is preparing the 
dish. 


Test 241-03, / /20 


Subject: Subjects 241-C and 241-D were 
chosen from general population. Both subjects 
report no skill in cooking and no allergies to 
shellfish. 


Procedure: SCP-241 was still open from Test 
241-02. Subject 241-C was instructed to not 
close SCP-241, find the Sautéed Scallops 
recipe, and transcribe it to a standard sheet of 
paper. In a separate test kitchen, Subject 241 - 
D was given the transcribed recipe and 
instructed to prepare and eat the dish 
prepared. 


Results: Subject 241-C found and transcribed 
the recipe without incident. The transcribed 
recipe was visually compared to the recipe in 
SCP-241 and confirmed to be identical. 
SCP-241 was left open. Subject displayed no 
adverse effects from interaction with SCP-241. 


Subject 241-D was given the transcribed 
recipe and attempted to prepare the Sautéed 
Scallops, but experienced difficulty and 
frustration, several times declaring, “I told you 


SCP-2131: | ruled the Churchlands from the 
moment the Daevites murdered Boniface2. For 
nearly 8 centuries | have fought battles for the 
lord against the blood demons. 


Dr. Sampson: The Daevites don't exist in our 
historical records during the 1300s. 


SCP-2131: Then your records are wrong. 
They began in the east. The pagans and the 
heretics fell first and it is only through our faith 
that we have won our battles with them. You 
must return me to my home, so that the fight 
may continue. 


Dr. Sampson: | understand. We'll keep 
working on some way to do that. 


SCP-2131: Thank you.

Following several consecutive failed prayer 
rituals, Dr. Sampson was given clearance to 
interview SCP-2131 in order to determine the 
cause of the containment failures. 


Dr. Sampson: Hey. | know it's been a while, 
I've been working on trying to get you home. 


SCP-2131: | have been gone for too long. My 
people have surely been destroyed. 


Dr. Sampson: You can't know that. 


SCP-2131: You're right. | don't know it. But the 
Daevites are not known for their timidness. | 
had to channel the lord's power to stop them. 
Without my presence... 


Dr. Sampson: Is that why the burst events are 
going uncontained? 


SCP-2131: My faith has waned. | have been 
cut off from my god and | have been cut off 
from my people. The lord sees my weakness. 


Dr. Sampson: | see. 


SCP-2131: It doesn't matter. Even if all that 
awaits me is a Daevite blood altar, | have to go 
back. 


Dr. Sampson: We'll keep working on it. | 
promise you'll know as soon as we have a 
way. 


SCP-2131: Thank you.

Due to the increase in strength related to all 
gamma ray events following Incident 2131-19, 
SCP-2131's containment procedures will be 
modified to include preventative measures 
relating to attempts at self harm. 


| am also approving certain amenities which 
have been requested for some time, and which 
| believe may assist in improving SCP-2131's 
morale. However, under no circumstances 
should it be allowed to self-terminate again, 
even at the risk of losing personnel. 


~ Doctor Isabelle Sampson, 2131 Project 
Director 


| would like to caution against what I'm 
perceiving as a sense of pity for this entity 
among staff. This object is almost certainly not 
what it appears to be. Remember that all 
knowledge of this object's background is 
sourced directly from SCP-2131. 


It should also be noted that this object's 


attempts at self harm are in direct violation of 
the object's supposed Catholic beliefs. And, 
perhaps most damning of all, the ritualistic 
bloodletting involved in the attempt matches 
historical and archaeological records relating 
to Daevite sacrificial rituals quite closely.

SCP-2132: Most Dangerous Fighting Exhibition and 
Obstacle Resort 


Item #: SCP-2132 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Containment procedure 62- 
Tango-Foxtrot (standard containment for anomalous structures, 
nonurban) is followed for SCP-2132-01. Radios tuned to SCP-2132 
(_. K_ ) are to be stationed at cardinal points 16km from 
SCP-2132-01 to monitor signal strength and extended listening 
range; SCP-2132 and its effects have not extended beyond 
15.76km, with an average distance of 15km. In addition, both 
iterations of SCP-2132 are to be recorded and retransmitted through 
secure channels to Site-11 for observation. Three members of 
Mobile Task Force lota-19 ("Homemade Sins") are to remain in 
constant residence within SCP-2132-01 in order to intercept 
SCP-2132's "game" and win. One member is to be cycled out each 
month, allowing no member to spend more than three months 
onsite. When the game cycle has begun, all three members are to 
participate and wear standard-issue chest-mounted cameras sewn 
into their shirts for the duration of the game cycle. 


Description: SCP-2132 is a radio station designated .K .Toall 
outside of SCP-2132's anomalous range currently reaching a 
maximum of 15.76km, SCP-2132 functions as a numbers station, 
with a male child's voice reciting numbers and a list of colors. These 
readings occur every 5-6 hours and are different each time. To date, 
Foundation code experts have been unable to determine a meaning 
within the numbers. The voice is hypothesized to be synthesized 
due to various vocal cues (lack of audible breathing, same tone 
maintained throughout, etc.). Within the anomalous range, 
SCP-2132 largely functions as a music station, continuously playing 
songs from the 1920s-1950s. 


SCP-2132-01 is the collective designation given to a farmhouse and 
radio tower from which SCP-2132 emanates, operating in the 
countryside of Pottawatomie County, OK. There is a hatch in the 
ground under the radio tower from which the station is presumed to 
operate, but as of this writing the Foundation has been unable to 
open it through conventional means (prying, blasting, melting, etc.). 
Digital sounding reveals only a tunnel that descends below the 
range of the sounding device. The hatch is inscribed with the words 
Masud lig 48 eb Lose”, 


Every Friday between 1700 and 2000, SCP-2132's anomalous- 
range music will stop and a woman's voice will read this 
announcement: 


Welcome to Misters Marshall, Carter, and Dark's Most 
Dangerous Fighting Exhibition and Obstacle Resort! 
Please adjourn to the lounge for further instructions. 


The message will repeat until all residents have moved to the living 
room of SCP-2132-01. Further testing has indicated that, should 
fewer than three people be in residence within SCP-2132-01, 
SCP-2132 will transport the nearest human being into the lounge 
and they will be made to participate in the game cycle (this is 
corroborated by the missing persons files logged by Pottawatomie 
County). Once there, all doors will lock and the following message 
will play: 


Welcome to Misters Marshall, Carter, and Dark's Most 
Dangerous Fighting Exhibition and Obstacle Resort! 
Please enjoy some brandy and cigars while we prepare 
your playground. 


After approx. one hour, all doors except for the front will unlock and 
open. Supplies will materialize within the hall closet located near the 
exit; these supplies will be the only things other than their clothes 
residents will be able to take into the game cycle (all other foreign 
objects dematerialize upon exit; sewing the chest-mounted cameras 
into their shirts appears to have "tricked" the game cycle into 
treating them as clothing). The supplies always contain one first-aid 
kit, one map, One compass, and one thermometer. Once the 
supplies have been collected, the following message will play: 


Please step outside and enjoy your playground. 
Remember, get home safe! 


The exit then swings open. If the residents do not immediately step 
out, the words "get home safe" are continually repeated (up to 
150db over the course of one hour, causing permanent hearing 
loss). If, after one hour, residents still have not stepped outside, the 
game cycle will begin prematurely and an entity will enter the house 
and forcibly eject them. Entities to date include two mature grizzly 
bears, a colossal squid, and a guerilla ambush from an unknown 
army. Upon crossing the threshold, residents are transported to a 
new climate containing traps, puzzles, and exaggerated, hostile 
creatures. The only consistency between environments is a large 
stopwatch-style digital display projected in the sky. SCP-2132-01 
disappears, and the goal of the game cycle is to locate it and return 
inside by the time the stopwatch reaches 0. 


Both SCP-2132 and SCP-2132-01 were discovered during a raid on 
a Marshall, Carter & Dark club, where they were advertised in the 
program as "a retreat from the mundane into the fantastic".

SCP-2133: Our Land, Our Bondage 


Item #: SCP-2133 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: A security perimeter must be 
maintained at a ten kilometer radius around SCP-2133, preventing 
access to and from the surrounding area. Guards are to be stationed 
along the perimeter at all times and are to maintain the facade of a 
Russian military facility. In the event of a security breach by civilians 
or hostile entities, lethal force is authorized. The remote nature of 
SCP-2133 ensures accidental discovery to be a rarity. Personnel are 
to be equipped with Level A hazmat suits when exploring SCP-2133 
and when interacting with its community. 


Description: SCP-2133 is an unnamed village in the Northern Urals 
and has an estimated population of fifty, although an exact number 
has been difficult to record. Various microbial pathogens have been 
discovered within the vicinity of SCP-2133, some of which were 
previously unknown. This has included: 


¢ Mycobacterium leprae and M. lepromatosis (the causative 

agents of leprosy) 

Yersinia pestis (in the form of pneumonic, septicemic, and 

bubonic plagues) 

¢ Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica (the causative agent of 
typhoid fever) 

¢ Influenza virus A, B, and C 

Vibrio cholerae (the causative agent of cholera) 

Variola major (the causative agent of smallpox, eradicated 

outside of SCP-2133 as of 1975) 


The inhabitants of SCP-2133, referred to as SCP-2133-1, display a 
relative resistance to disease. While symptoms develop as per 
ordinary disease progression, resulting in disfigurement and 
debilitation, death is comparatively rare. 


SCP-2133-1 have shown themselves to be either unwilling or unable 
to leave SCP-2133. Genetic analysis has revealed significant 
inbreeding, although SCP-2133-1 have never been observed 
undergoing sexual reproduction while in containment. It is 
hypothesized that the diseases are a symptom of their primary 
anomaly and are not themselves anomalous. 


The most significant anomaly associated with SCP-2133-1 is a form 
of reincarnation. Deceased instances will rapidly decay and, on the 
night of the first new moon, are harvested from the fields as infants. 
SCP-2133-1 entities retain the memories and appearance of 
previous incarnations. Soil samples from the fields were found to 
contain embryonic fluid. 


SCP-2133-1 speak an archaic dialect of Russian. Periodically willing 
to be interviewed, they commonly refuse to divulge substantial 
details about their history and traditions. Their lifestyle has been 
noted to be similar to that of 14th century peasant commune and 
display acute technophobia. Residents are believed to be illiterate, 
the village lacking books or any other use of written language. What 
is known about their culture and beliefs has been gleaned through 
behavioral observation and a limited number of successful 
interviews. SCP-2133-1 refer to their religion as the Church of the 
Red Harvest, whose doctrine and mythology remain poorly 
understood. 


SCP-2133-1 tend to ignore Foundation personnel, displaying 
hostility only when their daily routine has in some manner been 
impeded. Personnel are able to enter and explore buildings without 
triggering a reaction from SCP-2133-1 - the church being the only 
known exception. All attempts to access the church have produced 
violent encounters with SCP-2133-1 and SCP-2133-2, resulting in 
several fatalities via damaged hazmat equipment and, in the case of 
SCP-2133-2, strangulation and impalement. 


SCP-2133-2 are prehensile organic structures found throughout 
SCP-2133 and are dark red in color with a tentaculoid shape. 
SCP-2133-2 only appear to move to attack intruding personnel or to 
allow the entrance of SCP-2133-1 instances into the church, which it 
completely engulfs. Tissue samples removed from SCP-2133-2 are 
genetically identical and closely related to homo sapiens. 


guys | can’t cook!” The completed dish did not 
look or smell nearly as good as in previous 
tests. 


Subject balked at eating the dish, saying that 
“itsmells like _,” but was persuaded to eat it 
by [DATA EXPUNGED]. Subject ate 
approximately 40% of the meal before stating, 
“I’m gonna be sick,” at which time subject 
vomited. Subject was instructed to finish the 
meal, but subject responded [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. Termination of subject 
considered but rejected in favor of further 
testing. 


Analysis: More evidence that SCP-241 can 
improve the cooking skill of its user. Subject 
241-D retained for further testing. 


Test 241-04, / /20 
Subject: Subject 241-D. 


Procedure: SCP-241 was still open from Test 
241-03. Subject 241-D was instructed to not 
close SCP-241, find the Sautéed Scallops 
recipe, prepare it, and eat it, while giving 
feedback during the entire process. 


Results: Subject vociferously protested to 
having to eat her own cooking, but was 
persuaded to cooperate with the promise that 
subject would not have to eat the resultant 
dish if it turned out like in the previous test. 
Subject expressed skepticism but proceeded 
to prepare the Sautéed Scallops recipe. While 
cooking the dish, subject experienced none of 
the difficulties she experienced from the 
previous test, instead expressing the now- 
familiar surprise that her cooking was turning 
out so well. 


SCP-2133-1 work the fields from dawn until dusk. At sunset, the 
entire SCP-2133-1 population will enter the church, apparently 
depositing the day's harvest and residing within for approximately 
three hours before retiring home. SCP-2133-1 will then sleep until 
dawn, beginning the entire process over the next day. There has 
been no significant variation in routine throughout SCP-2133's 
containment history. SCP-2133-1 behavior has also included staring 
aimlessly for up to two hours, self-amputation of gangrenous limbs 
and tumorous growths (then deposited within the church), and 
periodic, often incoherent mutterings. 


Besides its anomalous usage, the fields are primarily used to grow 
turnips. Non-SCP-2133-1 cadavers fail to undergo anomalous 
regeneration. Fecal material recovered from SCP-2133-1 entities 
suggest a high protein diet despite turnips being their only apparent 
food source. 


SCP-2133 was discovered and contained on 10/03/1936 by GRU 
Division "P". Control would be later transferred to the Foundation 
after the dissolution of the USSR in 1991. Archived documents 
suggests that GRU Division "P" became aware of SCP-2133 after a 
pandemic in the region. Several villages were placed under 
quarantine while proper procedures were established for the 
containment and research of SCP-2133. 


The outbreak is hypothesized to have begun when a returning 
mineral surveying team was exposed to SCP-2133, contracting local 
contagions. The surveyors would die but not before inadvertently 
triggering an epidemic through contact with settlements as they 
journeyed south.

left arm and much of its epidermis has 
undergone necrosis. 


Interviewer: Dr. Judith Low 


Foreword: First successful interview with an 
SCP-2133-1 instance. Conducted in Russian 
and edited for clarity. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Judith Low: Hello. | would like to ask you 
a few questions. 


SCP-2133-1-10: Speak your words. 


Dr. Judith Low: When did this begin? How far 
back are you able to remember? 


SCP-2133-1-10: It was a time of Tsars and 
Khans. 


Dr. Judith Low: Your condition. Does it hurt? 


SCP-2133-1-10: Pain. Yes. Strife teaches. 
Rends sin from our bodies. Prepares us for 
paradise but paradise never comes. 


Dr. Judith Low: The "rebirth" your people 
undergo. Can you explain it to me? 


SCP-2133-1-10: This is the Church of the Red 
Harvest. We serve until the end. That is the 
terms of our agreement. 


Dr. Judith Low: Are the dead healed? Or is it 
an entirely new body? 


SCP-2133-1-10: The dragon slays itself, weds 
itself, impregnates itself. That is what she 
taught us. The covenant must not be broken. 
We are devoured and the land regurgitates us 
renewed. 


Dr. Judith Low: Why do you continue to do 
this when you obviously suffer? 


SCP-2133-1-10: There is no choice. The land 
calls. We answer. Nothing ever changes. 


Dr. Judith Low: Let me rephrase the 
question. How did you come to be in sucha 
state? 


SCP-2133-1-10: The priestess came to our 
village. This was many deaths ago. She 
offered us a place in paradise, as long as we 
served until the end. She said the end would 
be soon but it has been so long. 


We are so very tired. Is this hell? Did we fail 
the Great One somehow? Winter after winter. 
We tried to keep count but the number grew 
too large. 


Have we been forgotten? 


No. No. Must not doubt. The Church of the 
Red Harvest is truth. There is no other. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Subject quietly wept and 
was unwilling to continue. A soil sample from 
the fields was retrieved and delivered for 
analysis. 


+ Interview 02: 07/16/1992 


Interviewed: SCP-2133-1-26, "Anya". Has the 
appearance of a female, six to eight years of 
age. 


Interviewer: Dr. Judith Low 


Foreword: Second successful interview with a 
resident of SCP-2133. Conducted in Russian 
and edited for clarity. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Judith Low: Greetings. We do not intend 
you harm. Would you be able to tell us about 
your community? 


SCP-2133-1-26: You don't belong here. 
Leave. 


Dr. Judith Low: | am afraid that is something 
we cannot do. You look ill. We could provide 
medical aid if you cooperate. 


SCP-2133-1-26: You are not of the covenant. 
You would never understand. 


Dr. Judith Low: | am trying to understand. 
Please. What covenant do you speak of? 


SCP-2133-1-26: A pact signed in blood. Our 
redemption; our curse. We serve until the end 
of all things. 


Dr. Judith Low: Would you tell us about your 
religious beliefs? 


SCP-2133-1-26: Beliefs are for the unsure. 
Beliefs are for outsiders. For the heathens who 
neglect the old ways. We know. 


Dr. Judith Low: Then could you at least 
explain the significance of the church? Food is 
brought inside but we've never seen it 
removed. A communal meal perhaps? 


SCP-2133-1-26: You should not be watching 
us. You'll never understand. This is the land 
where gods of rust and blood come to die. 


Dr. Judith Low: That doesn't answer my 
questions. 


SCP-2133-1-26: [a tone suggestive of 
annoyance] The church was here long before 
the village. A church of stone beneath the 
earth. It is sacred. A church of wood was built 
atop it, for the heresy of the cross - before we 
embraced the true faith. The Karcist Alka will 
enlighten you. You are only alive because she 
has chosen to let you live. 


Dr. Judith Low: Serve who? Do you speak of 
a god or... 


SCP-2133-1-26: [Interrupts] Our Immortal 
Father. Sorcerer King of the Adytum. You 
cannot know his love. Leave. The Church of 
the Red Harvest is not for your kind. 


Dr. Judith Low: Please cooperate. Just 
answer one last question. This village, does it 
have a name? 


[SCP-2133-1-26 vomits a black, viscous liquid] 


Dr. Judith Low: I'll see about getting you 
medical attention. We'll speak again when 
you're feeling better. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: A greater success than 
originally anticipated. A sample was gathered 
from the emesis and delivered for analysis. 
Research will be done to see if 
SCP-2133-1-26's comments coincide with any 
known religion or cultural tradition. This region 
has a history of producing and protecting 
unorthodox sects. | strongly advise that we 
enter the church. The Foundation should be 
able to subdue the SCP-2133-1 population 
without much difficulty. 


Exploration: 


Mobile Task Force Beta-7 ("Maz Hatters") was able to subdue 
SCP-2133's denizens without casualties to Foundation operatives or 
SCP-2133-1 entities. An exploration team composed of twelve MTF 
Beta-7 operatives were equipped with head mounted radios, video 
recorders, type B hazmat suits and cylinders containing 
uncontaminated air (3 hour supply). After significant incendiary 
damage, SCP-2133-2 tendrils receded into the soil. 


Within the church were several fetishes (fashioned from bone and 
leather) and organic material (later identified as tumorous masses) 
hung by iron hooks and chained to the ceiling. Discovered at the 
center of the building was a large fissure, the entrance to a system 
of caverns beneath SCP-2133 and later determined to extend well 
into the nearby mountains. 


Several organisms, since classified as SCP-2133-3, were 
discovered after approximately 25 minutes of exploration. Due to 
their size and unwillingness to leave, MTF Beta-7 terminated a 
single instance of SCP-2133-3 and retrieved it for autopsy. 


+ Autopsy Report 
Autopsy Report 
Mass: 181.437 kg 
Height: 270 cm 
Age: Unknown 
Cause of Death: Head trauma 


Stomach Contents: Brassica rapa subsp. 
rapa, also known as the white turnip. 


Details: Subject displays an overgrowth of 
fatty tissue and bone, as well as gross physical 
reconfiguration. Organs are swollen and flesh 
shows evidence of repeated incision and 
regeneration. Possibly harvested for meat. 


Tattooed to the epidermis of the left forelimb is 
the letter "P" crossed with a sickle and 
hammer. A common tattoo for operatives of 
the now defunct GRU Division "P". 


After depositing the deceased SCP-2133-3, the expedition team 
replaced their air canisters and returned to the mission. At 
approximately fifty minutes of uneventful exploration, video and 
radio contact were lost without any sign of struggle. Radio contact 
would be reestablished after approximately six hours of silence - 
video feed remained disabled.

[audible sobs] They're all dead. Or gone. 
There was a scream. | think. Maybe... 
something loud, | felt my bones vibrate. 
Briggs... Oh god. Oh god. Something got him. 
We tried to pull it off. Looked like... | don't 
know. It was long. No idea how long. Slippery. 
And... and... [hyperventilates] | saw a grown 
man pulled into a tiny hole... 


[whispers] I'm a coward. | left them behind... 
ES 


Site Command: They were trained for 
combat. You weren't. You did what you had to 
do. Any estimate on where you are? We can 
send reinforcements. 


Dr. Felsenstein: No. Oh god, please don't. I'm 


nothing but a walking corpse. | slipped into a 
crevice. Think | broke my ankle. Suit tore. The 
air. It sets my lungs on fire. I'm bound to be 
riddled with every disease in this awful shit 
hole. 


Site Command: Try to pull yourself free. Don't 
let the others die in vain. You can still retrieve 
data for us. Give us a better understanding of 
the threat. 


Dr. Felsenstein: Yeah... Yeah. | owe them 
that much, don't I? I'll give it a try. 


Okay. One, two, three... 
[fumbling is audible] Fuck! 
Site Command: Status report. 


Dr. Felsenstein: [a mix of crying and laughter] 
I'm wedged deeper. Too much slime. Too slick 
to get a grip. | slip any further... and I'll be 
crushed. [sound of struggling, heavy breathing; 
there is a crack and a quick gasp for air] 

I'm free. Can't feel my legs. Everything else 
hurts like hell. But I'm free. 


Site Command: Tell me what you see. 


Dr. Felsenstein: I'm really going to die down 
here, aren't I? I'm... I'm at the edge of some 
kind of chasm. | can't see the bottom. This 
place goes deep. | think we might have ended 
up in or under the mountain. The smell is 
putrid. My eyes, my skin - everything burns. | 
think it's the slime. Like rubbing lye in an open 
wound. 


Site Command: I'm glad you're able to stay 
relatively calm. There's still a chance we'll get 


you out of there. 


Dr. Felsenstein: I've never felt pain like this. 
Never been this close to death. Nothing left to 
lose though... so nothing left to fear. Doesn't 
stop the pain. 


Site Command: We're getting reports of 
hostiles on our end. Looks like there were 
some SCP-2133-1 we failed to properly 
secure. Nothing we can't handle. 


Dr. Felsenstein: Going to keep... crawling 
along, | guess? I'm heading down there. 
There's no hope for me anyway. I'll tell you 
what | see. Maybe it'll be enough to convince 
the O5s to raze this place. 


Site Command: Things are getting bad 
topside. We've got hundreds of presumed 
SCP-2133-1 coming from the mountains. 
We're evacuating. Keeping this channel open. 
Everything is being recorded. Describe what 
you see. We'll be back with reinforcements. 


Dr. Felsenstein: Understood. | have my 
orders and you have yours. Godspeed and get 
the hell out of here. 


Site Command: I'm... I'm sorry. We had no 
idea... 


Dr. Felsenstein: You have your orders. 


[site command remains online despite 
evacuation; recording continues] 


[five minutes of heavy breathing, coughing, 
and vomiting] 


I've descended into the chasm. [coughing, 
followed by heaving] The yellow fog is thick. 


The stone is warped and porous. Like the 
inside of a hive. | can't feel anything anymore. 
Don't think I've much time. 


There are eggs. Hundreds. Thousands. Maybe 
more. Hard to see from the floor. | see mounds 
of meat where creatures about... about 
[cough] about the size of cats seem to be 
feeding. They have bodies like grubs. Faces 
like a human infant - about the same size too. 
They don't notice me [cough]... or maybe they 
just don't care. | can't look at those faces 
anymore. Too close to human. Too close. 


There's some sort of structure. Looks like a 
temple. Architecture like nothing I've seen 
before. It's black. [coughs violently] Polished 
yet sharp. The angles... the angles hurt to look 
at. Don't work right. Why am | still moving? 
Why... 


[laughs hysterically] I'm being dragged. 
Roots... tentacles, tendrils... whatever... they 
caught me. I'm completely numb. Didn't even 
notice... ha ha... he... [weeping is heard] The 
gasses... the slime... bleeding out too, | can 
see it. Just a trail of blood... just a... didn't 
even... didn't... why? Why? 


They've not... torn me apart yet. Why? Kill me! 
[pleading weakly] Just kill me and get it over 
with... [shifts between frantic screaming and 
incoherent mumbling] 


There are more down here. More dirty 
peasants. No. Not like the others. Not sickly 
and weak. They are strong. They watch me... 
watch me as I'm dragged along. Staring at me 
with their dead fucking eyes. Fuck.... fuck all 
of you... | can't... | can't breathe. | can't feel... 
[whimpers] What does it want... What does it 


The completed dish looked and smelled similar 
to the results of Test 241-02. Subject was not 
nearly as reluctant to eat the prepared dish, 
declaring it “not bad... not bad at all.” Subject 
did not appear to suffer from any adverse 
effects after eating the dish. During post- 
testing interviews, subject was asked how she 
was able to prepare the Sautéed Scallops 
during this test when the results of the 
previous test were so unappetizing. Subject 
stated that she did not know, only that once 
she started cooking the dish, it became 
perfectly clear to her how to do it. Subject did 
not appear to have any additional knowledge 
of cooking, and even had trouble remembering 
the cooking techniques she used in this test. 


Analysis: There is now little doubt that 
SCP-241 can turn people who know nothing 
about cooking into gourmet chefs, at least for 
the dish that’s being prepared. 


Test 241-11, / /20 


Subject: Subjects 241-E and 241-F were 
chosen from general population. Subject 241 - 
E is known to have an allergy to peanuts. 
Subject 241-F has demonstrated considerable 
skill as a chef. 


Procedure: Subject 241-E was presented 
SCP-241 while closed and instructed to open it 
and choose a recipe. Subject 241-F was then 
instructed to prepare the selected meal from 
SCP-241. The prepared dish was given to 
Subject 241-E, who was then asked to eat it. 


Results: Subject 241-E opened SCP-241 and, 
while looking through the recipes offered, 
stated that all the recipes called for peanuts, 
adding, “peanuts mess me up something 


want... 
An angel... | see an angel... 


She embraces me... with her thousand 
wings... So beautiful... so... 


She is... she's bringing me... to her... to her... 
bare breasts... [static]... |... |... [a rustling 
noise, possibly the sound of the hazmat suit 
(and its equipped radio) being removed]

SCP-2134: Shelter 


Item #: SCP-2134 
Anomaly Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2134 is kept in solitary 
confinement at Site-27. Direct interaction with SCP-2134 is not 
permitted; all maintenance tasks are either automated or completed 
by SCP-2134 itself. Any images, recordings, etc. of SCP-2134 must 
be sufficiently scrambled to prevent activation of its anomalous 
properties; information not altered in this manner may not be 
accessed by personnel. SCP-2134 is to be monitored solely via 
thermal camera. No communication is permitted. 


Humanoid Self-Harm Prevention Protocol C is in effect for 
SCP-2134. 


Description: SCP-2134 is a human male, age 54, with no pressing 
health concerns. SCP-2134's body possesses a number of 
modifications, most extensively to the neck and face. 


Designs cut into the majority of SCP-2134's skin pose a health risk 
to humans. Viewing any of these designs is invariably fatal; death 
results from degradation of neural pathways over the course of 
seven hours, with associated symptoms in the interim. The markings 
on SCP-2134's face exhibit an accelerated version of this effect: 
death occurs within one hour. These effects are memetic in nature, 
and have been replicated with recreations of the designs. 


SCP-2134's voice exhibits a compulsive memetic effect. Exposed 
humans will invariably be compelled to view SCP-2134, and will 
attempt to persuade others to do the same. They are not compelled 
to spread images of SCP-2134 or recreations of the symbols on its 
skin. 


SCP-2134 is not affected by its own anomalous properties. 


SCP-2134 has extensive classified knowledge regarding the 
Foundation, contained anomalous objects, and the subject of 
memetics. It will exhibit hostile behavior when removed from 
containment for any reason, attempting to affect personnel with its 
anomalous properties until it is confident that it will be returned to 
solitary confinement. 


- Level 4 Access granted. Documents retrieved. 


Recovery: Prior to developing anomalous properties, SCP-2134 
was Dr. Konstantin Krupin, head of Site-27's Memetics Research 
department. Subject had no history of misbehavior beyond several 
citations for violating standard testing protocols. 


On 2007-04-19, security footage indicates that Dr. Krupin was able 
to smuggle a knife from the Site-27 cafeteria past security. After 
printing off a document from his workstation, he accessed an empty 
humanoid containment cell and used the knife to carve the 
aforementioned symbols into his flesh, avoiding major blood vessels 
in the process.! SCP-2134 then used the knife to make several 
alterations to its vocal cords, after which it placed a call to Site 
Security describing its anomalous properties and recommending 
containment by way of solitary confinement, additionally requesting 
medical care. Containment was achieved with acceptable 
casualties. 


Interview 2134-4: This interview was conducted on 2007-07-07. 
SCP-2134 had refused to cooperate with attempts at questioning 
until it was placed in solitary confinement. The interview was 
conducted by Dr. Barley via a text-based communication protocol. 
The logs have not been altered in any respect. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Barley: SCP-2134, please respond if you can read 
this. 


SCP-2134: Responding. | guess my attempts to disable 
this computer were as futile as they looked. I'm guessing 
you've put me under a Self-Harm Prevention Protocol to 
keep me from cutting myself up more? 


Dr. Barley: That's correct. 


SCP-2134: Your display name is "Dr. Barley"; is that 
actually you? 


Dr. Barley: Yes. 


SCP-2134: Hey Bill. Could you do me a favor and try to 
get this text chat removed? 


Dr. Barley: why? 
SCP-2134: well 


SCP-2134: You remember when they brought scp-181 to 
the site? 


Dr. Barley: | don't have the clearance to know about 
181. 


SCP-2134: | figured out why all the humanoids are 
depressed, we talk to them like robots :P you KNEW me, 
we were friends, this is what | get? 


SCP-2134: Whatever i'll just tell you, they can give you 
amnestics later. 


SCP-2134: 181 is "lucky" — it passively manipulates 
probability to create unlikely events. Used to be a D- 
Class until it survived three lethal skips, which caught 
"our" attention, and after some testing, we made it a skip. 


SCP-2134: Six months later, they run the numbers, and 
the accident rate at the site he was at was up three-digits 
percent (idk why they blacked that out) since he got 
transferred there. So... 


SCP-2134: ...they put him in total solitary confinement at 
Site-27. It's not my field of study, but | saw the research 
documents, and what | got from them was that the 
probability manipulation operates in 181's favor. Don't 
ask me how they narrowed that down. 


Dr. Barley: Let me guess. 


Dr. Barley: You interpreted the findings as indicating 
that the best situation for SCP-181 was in solitary 
confinement at the Foundation, so you decided to make 
yourself into an anomaly in order to get the same 
treatment. 


SCP-2134: Bingo. 


SCP-2134: It makes sense, too. He got a LIFE 
SENTENCE for gambling fraud. We almost never take 
American prisoners for D-class, but we took him. They 
assigned him to THREE different life-threatening 
anomalies. All conspired to get him contained. 


Dr. Barley: Duly noted. Thank you for this information. 


SCP-2134: Anything for my old buddy Robo-Bill :P And 
for all | know, whatever it is that gets to anyone outside 
of solitary is a meme, so that's why | want you to get rid 
of the text chat. 


Dr. Barley: | did come here to get particular information 
from you, however. Specifically, how you're immune to 
your own properties. 


SCP-2134: not happening 


Dr. Barley: Alright. In that case, we're going to have to 
decrypt your research notes. 


SCP-2134: Yeah, decrypting the research notes of a 
memeticist who carved himself full of memetic kill 
agents. Brilliant idea. 


Dr. Barley: We both know how high-priority research 
into meme inoculation is to Site Command. They 
deemed it a worthwhile risk. Unless you tell us how to 
access the notes safely, of course. 


SCP-2134: At which point you'll reverse-engineer my 


immunity, give it to everyone, and move me to a low- 
security humanoid cell. Not happening. 


SCP-2134: Just give it up, Dr. Barley. 


Dr. Barley: We're on track to gain access with or without 
your help.2 | just came to do you the courtesy of giving 
you a chance to keep some D-class from getting 
foddered to the memetic kill agents you put on your hard 
drive. 


SCP-2134: ... 
SCP-2134: So that's how it's going to be. 
Dr. Barley: Last chance, Konstantin. 


SCP-2134: Bill, you have one minute to terminate this 
chat before | deploy a memetic kill agent. 


Dr. Barley: You're bluffing. 


SCP-2134: Not even a little. You chuckleheads couldn't 
possibly understand what | was working on. You'll 
probably mishandle something and all hell will break 
loose. 


SCP-2134: this is what it is, isn't it. you break into my 
notes and set one of my weaponized memes loose. 
everyone but me and 181 is fucked. 


Dr. Barley: So dramatic. This is completely believable, 
and definitely not you getting desperate. 


SCP-2134: 0 HO ast 
SCPH2134F a ett 
<End log> 


At this point, Dr. Barley terminated communications and alerted his 
superior. Further attempts at communication resulted in SCP-2134 


sending text that may or may not compose a dangerous meme. The 
text-based communication channel has been removed as a 
precautionary measure. 


Footnotes 

1. The aforementioned document was destroyed without 
examination as a precaution. It appears that SCP-2134 used itas a 
reference for the symbols it created. 

2. SCP-2134's research notes have yet to be decrypted due to 
unforeseen difficulties.

SCP-2135: 91st Street Station 


View of SCP-2135 entrance from street level 


Item #: SCP-2135 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-2135 is located ina 
highly trafficked area, isolated containment of SCP-2135 is not 
feasible at this time. Instead, Foundation agents will work with the 
New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to 
prevent unauthorized access to SCP-2135 by civilians. SCP-2135 is 
currently closed to the public and inaccessible by conventional 
means; as such, this is considered to be a reasonable request that 
does not require excessive coercion on the part of the Foundation. 
The interior of SCP-2135 is to be monitored via closed-circuit 
camera, but as it is plainly visible to civilians travelling within the 
New York City Subway system, Foundation personnel are 
discouraged from directly guarding SCP-2135's interior. 


Any incursions into SCP-2135-B are to be conducted by D-Class 
Personnel under the supervision of Foundation researchers; direct 
incursion into SCP-2135-B by researchers requires the approval of 
the current Region 38A (New York City/Long Island) Director. D- 
Class Personnel entering SCP-2135-B must adhere to the following 
restrictions: 


¢ No items manufactured after February 1959 (including 
clothing, recording equipment, entertainment media, etc) may 
be taken into SCP-2135-B. 

¢ When interacting with instances of SCP-2135-C, personnel 
must avoid using words or phrases that were not commonly 
used prior to 1959 (e.g. "hippie," "wicked," etc). 

¢ No more than 24 hours may be spent inside of SCP-2135-B. 


Description: SCP-2135 is the former 91st Street Station, a station 


of the New York City Subway system located in Manhattan. Prior to 
its closure in February 1959, SCP-2135 was served by the 1 and 2 
trains of the IRT Broadway - Seventh Avenue Line, bounded by the 
96th Street Station to the north and the 86th Street Station to the 
south. SCP-2135 was closed after platform expansion on the 96th 
Street Station rendered it impractical to continue servicing it. 


SCP-2135's anomalous properties manifest twice a week, at 
unpredictable intervals. During this time, a train car (which varies by 
make and model, but is always a car that was in use by the New 
York City Subway system during or prior to 1959), hereafter 
SCP-2135-A, will stop at the station for approximately fifteen 
seconds. SCP-2135-A is only perceivable to those standing on the 
subway platform at the time it arrives; non-anomalous trains in 
service will pass through it as if it were not there, and passengers on 
those trains are unable to perceive SCP-2135-A's presence as they 
pass through it. 


Should any subject board the train during this time, they will remain 
in a state of transit for approximately fifteen minutes, and will be 
unable to exit the train. No other passengers are present onboard 
the train, nor is a conductor. After fifteen minutes have elapsed, the 
train will come to a halt, and subjects will arrive within SCP-2135-B. 


SCP-2135-B is a replica of the island of Manhattan as it appeared 
on 1 Feb 1959. Persons, events, and buildings present in Manhattan 
during this time are all replicated in a nearly identical fashion within 
SCP-2135-B, with the following exceptions: 


* Persons present inside of Manhattan during this time are 
replaced by instances of SCP-2135-C (see below). 

* All written material present inside of SCP-2135-B, including 
advertisements, books, newspapers, etc. consist solely of the 
words "SAFE WORLD" repeated over and over, in capital 
letters. The exception to this are the signs carried by 
SCP-2135-C. 

* Subway stations other than the 91st Street Station are 
inaccessible to all subjects. Instead, an instance of SCP-2135- 
C guards each subway station entrance, remaining still while 
holding a sign with the word "SECURITY" written on it. 
Subjects attempting to enter these stations will be forcefully 


impeded from doing so by the SCP-2135-C instance. 

¢ Any area beyond the island of Manhattan is rendered 
inaccessible by a white void surrounding the entire island. 
Subjects attempting to leave Manhattan will be blocked by an 
impermeable barrier. SCP-2135-C instances leaving 
Manhattan will appear to vanish into the void; likewise, 
SCP-2135-C instances entering Manhattan appear to 
spontaneously emerge from it. 

¢ Subjects universally report perceiving SCP-2135-B as 
monochromatic. 


SCP-2135-C are faceless humanoid entities that inhabit SCP-2135- 
B. SCP-2135-C instances lack eyes, noses, and mouths, but 
otherwise are replicas of people that were in Manhattan on 1 Feb 
1959. All SCP-2135-C instances carry with them a blank white 
canvas board and a marker; if in a car or other vehicle, they will 
have one within close proximity of them. Despite their lack of facial 
features, SCP-2135-C instances appear capable of sight and scent, 
and can interact with subjects if prompted via the blank canvas 
boards, albeit only one or two words at a time (See interview log 
below). 


Should a subject enter SCP-2135-B with any items that were 
manufactured after February 1959, or exhibit speech patterns or 
another mannerisms anachronistic to the period upon exiting the 
91st Street Station, SCP-2135-C instances will stop in place and 
continuously "stare" at the subject until they leave. While SCP-2135- 
C instances do not exhibit any hostile intent, subjects will generally 
express a strong desire to leave if SCP-2135-C instances enter this 
state, citing discomfort and unease. Subjects may leave SCP-2135- 
B by returning down the 91st Street Station entrance; SCP-2135-A 
will appear within ten minutes and will return the subject to baseline 
reality. 


After twenty four hours have passed within SCP-2135-B!, the 91st 
Street Station will be closed, and subjects will be unable to leave 
SCP-2135-B. [REDACTED] although said reports remain 
unconfirmed, and the similarities may be superficial or coincidental. 


SCP-2135-C Interview Log 


fierce.” Subject found a few recipes that did 
not include peanuts, and selected an 
Australian Carrot Cake. Subject 241-F 
prepared the Carrot Cake from SCP-241 and 
remarked that the finished product was better 
than he expected. 


The cake was presented to Subject 241-E, 
who started eating without prompting or 
hesitation. Subject stated that the cake was 
“the best thing I’ve ever eaten” and ate nearly 
half the cake before claiming satiation. Within 
two minutes, subject started showing 
symptoms of anaphylactic shock. Subject was 
administered epinephrine, which was 
ineffective, and died four minutes later 
(autopsy confirmed anaphylactic shock as the 
cause of death). 


The recipes in SCP-241 were examined, and 
85 of the 99 recipes called for peanuts or 
peanut products, but the Australian Carrot 
Cake was not one of them. The Carrot Cake 
and seven other recipes included lupin flour; a 
quick search found that lupin flour can induce 
an anaphylactic reaction in those who suffer 
from peanut allergies. The remaining six 
recipes called for more exotic ingredients: two 
called for [DATA EXPUNGED], and while the 
other four asked for [DATA EXPUNGED], 
respectively. 


SCP-241 remained open. The remaining half 
of the cake was saved for further testing. 


Analysis: Reactions of Subjects 241-E and 
241-F were both consistent with prior 
observations. The selection of recipes 
supports the theory that SCP-241 somehow 
determines the substance that the Target is 
most allergic to, and offers recipes to 


Date: 23 Aug 2007 (baseline time) 


Test Subject: D-3425 (29 years old; 
Caucasian female) 


Equipment Outfitted: Handheld audio 
recorder, c. 1956; period-appropriate clothing; 
notepad and two (2) pencils, both 
manufactured c. 1958. 


Notes: To avoid shocking or upsetting D-3425 
(thus potentially making data collection 
problematic), subject was informed of the 
nature of SCP-2135-B beforehand. Subject is 
instructed to find nearest SCP-2135-C 
instance and engage it in conversation, taking 
care to avoid using contemporary jargon, and 
transcribe the responses produced via the 
canvas board. Subject was given a list of pre- 
approved questions, but was given permission 
to deviate from this list if necessary. 


[D-3425 exits 91st Street Station into 
SCP-2135-B. After several moments, she 
approaches an instance of SCP-2135-C

late 30s.] 


D-3425: Umm, hello? 


SCP-2135-C Instance /via canvas board and 
marker]: QUERY ?2 


D-3425: What exactly is this place? 
SCP-2135-C Instance: SAFE WORLD. 
D-3425: Umm, OK. [flips through list of 
questions] Why is this place here? Who made 


it? 


SCP-2135-C Instance: PROTECTION. 


PROTECTOR. 


D-3425: But why did you need to be 
protected? 


SCP-2135-C Instance: ESCAPE GONE. 
D-3425: What do you mean by "escape"? 
SCP-2135-C Instance: ESCAPE. 


D-3425: But what are you trying to escape 
from, exactly? 


SCP-2135-C Instance: LIGHT WORLD. 
D-3425: What's the light world? 
SCP-2135-C Instance: YOUR WORLD. 


D-3425: Why do you need to escape, or get 
into or whatever, our world? 


SCP-2135-C Instance: BALANCE. 


D-3425: OK...umm...why do you allow us into 
your world? 


SCP-2135-C Instance: PRACTICE. 
D-3425: Practice for what? 
SCP-2135-C Instance: RESET. 


[SCP-2135-C instance refuses to respond to 
any further queries; other instances also 
refuse to communicate with D-3425. D-3425 
enters 91st Street Station and returns to 
baseline. ] 


Footnotes 
1. 91st Street Station was closed on 2 Feb 1959, as it is within 
SCP-2135-B. 


2. Subsequent tests have revealed that all SCP-2135-C instances 
begin conversations with the word "QUERY".

SCP-2136: An Utterly Driven Scientist 


WARNIN 


Submission of these Standard Containment Procedures to tt 
period of initial research quarantine. 


If you wish to proceed, please accept any changes made to 
where relevant. 


Item #: SCP-2136 
Object Class: Euclid NEUUtrallized 


Special Containment Procedures: MTFs Eta-10 and Theta-5 are 
to establish a naval perimeter around the Sentinel Islands to prevent 
outside contact while a local containment protocol is determined. 


The three D Class hosts infected with SCP-2136 are to be contained 
in a large, single-roomed cell with an inner and outer door. All 
interior walls and the interior of the inner door are to be lined with 
mirrors, and the cell is to remain well-lit at all times. Limited furniture 
is to be provided to avoid blocking line-of-sight within the cell. All 
bedclothes must be made of transparent or translucent material, and 
the hosts’ clothing must leave exposed skin from all angles. Hosts 
are to sleep in shifts, with no more than one host asleep at any time. 
In the event of the death of a host, a new D Class subject must be 
introduced to the cell as soon as possible, after being briefed as to 
SCP-2136's effects. No other personnel are to be admitted to the 
outer door of the cell, and the outer door must be closed before the 
inner door is opened to receive food or replacement D Class hosts. 
The cell is to be monitored by CCTV only. 


aLL D CLass hosts died.. SCP-2136 is neutrali zedd. 


Description: SCP-2136 is a pathogen capable of infecting humans. 


The pathogen is transmitted by an uninfected human's visual 
perception of an infected host. This form has not been able to be 
visualised by electron microscopy." 


Upon infection, the pathogen migrates to the host's motor neurons, 
producing an effect (SCP-2136-A) if the infected subject is out of the 
line-of-sight of another host. The characteristic symptoms of 
SCP-2136-A are a sudden stiffening of the unobserved subject's 
muscles, followed by complete immobility. Re-observation by 
another host during this period will reverse the symptoms, allowing 
the subject to regain muscle control. Death of an unobserved 
subject will occur within 5 minutes due to respiratory and circulatory 
failure.2 


Deceased hosts cease to be infectious, and study of deceased 
hosts has revealed anomalous organelles within neural cells. The 
organelles are non-functioning in the deceased subject, but 
presumed to be the mature form of the pathogen. In this stage, the 
composition of the pathogen suggests the ability to absorb some or 
all of the electrical impulses generated by the host's neurons. 


Further study has revealed that the pathology observed above may 
not constitute the full life-cycle of the pathogen. Analysis is 
continuing - please see Dr Heidke's journal notes below in the 
interim. 


Discovery: SCP-2136 was first identified in two individuals taken 
from the Sentinel Islands. The indigenous Sentinelese had been 
tagged for investigation following changes in their behaviour as 
observed on satellite. After the Foundation lost contact with the 
agent assigned for observation, a visual hazard was anticipated, and 
Mobile Task Force Eta-10 ("See No Evil") was sent in under "Blind 
Ops" conditions, capturing two subjects for study.

Dr Heidke's Observation Journal - potential anomaly 
(provisional designation -2136) 


Day 1 


1400 

Assigned to a new potential SCP, working with 
Dr Fletcher (astro-biologist) and Dr Masrur 
(biochemist, translator). I'd like to record my 
thanks to Dr Richards for assigning me my first 
supervisory role, and look forward to reporting 
back once we're through the initial 96 hour 
quarantine. 


MTF Eta-10 have secured two subjects (-1 and 
-2) in a containment cell, and have also 
brought in tissue samples from a human 
corpse found with the subjects. The MTF 
leader noted that the subjects expressed a 
desire to remain together during capture and 
transport. 


2130 

Commenced CCTV observation. Subjects 
were seated on beds, facing each other and 
conversing. Dr Masrur noted that the subjects 
spoken language was a Bengali dialect, 
indicating that subjects were not native 
Sentinelese. Subjects were interrogated using 
the cell's speaker system, and confirmed that 
they were agents from the Indian government. 
When we refused to release them, they 
ceased to answer our questions. 


India sent agents as well? What were they 
after? 


Day 2 


0830 

Subjects have refused to sleep, and have 
continued to demand release, but have shown 
no outward signs of anomaly. They certainly 
don't seem to be affected by a visual hazard. 
Perhaps Eta-10 picked up the wrong people 
on their blind excursion? 


1620 

Following a long whispered conversation, the 
subjects asked whether another person can 
join them in their cell. He says that otherwise it 
is too dangerous for them to sleep, but won't 
explain why. | have refused their request until 
they cooperate with us. 


2135 

There is an anomaly here after all! At 2130, 
subject -2 finally drifted to sleep, despite -1's 
urgings. Within a minute, -1 stiffened and fell 
to the floor, immobile. The noise woke -2 up, 
and as soon as he did, -1 recovered. Dr 
Fletcher and | agree that visual contact 
appears to play a role in the effect we've 
designated 2136-A. Dr Masrur is talking to the 
subjects again now. 


2215 

| have requested a D Class to be assigned to 
enter the cell, in return for the subjects telling 
Dr Masrur what they know. Not much more 
than us, as it turns out. Their observer 
reported that the Sentinelese were living in 
much tighter groups than normal, sleeping in 
shifts and not letting anyone go off alone. The 
observer also noted some odd behaviour from 
some of the Sentinelese, with jerky, 
uncoordinated movements. Then the 
government lost contact with their observer. 
When they went to retrieve him, they found 


him dead, but with no sign of violence. 


During retrieval, the subjects were spotted by 
two Sentinelese, who attacked with spears. 
The subjects attempted to escape, but fell 
victim to 2136-A. It was only when the 
Sentinelese warriors caught up to them that 
they were able to move, and fight off the 
tribesmen. They were then preparing to leave 
the island when Eta-10 captured them. 


2300 

The requested D Class (designated subject -3) 
has arrived at the cell. Dr Fletcher ensured 
that subject -3 entered the cell safely, without 
subjects -1 or -2 being seen outside the cell. | 
have asked containment to construct an outer 
door to the cell in case we need to open it 
again. 


After 5 minutes, we asked subjects -1 and -2 
to slowly turn away from -3, keeping each 
other in view. As expected, -3 stiffened and 
fell, confirming that the anomaly affects him 
too. Subject -3 was revived by -1 and -2 re- 
establishing visual contact. So the anomaly is 
definitely infectious, and the line-of-sight 
theory could be right. Subjects have been 
instructed to sleep in shifts - we'll do the same 
in the observation room to make sure we don't 
lose any subjects to tiredness. 


Day 3 


0600 

The implications of this anomaly are 
fascinating. Dr Fletcher and | have been up all 
night debating its method of infection and 
potential source. Dr Fletcher insists that the 
anomaly is some form of virus, and while | 


don't think there is enough evidence yet, we 
have agreed to refer to itas a "pathogen" in 
the draft containment procedures. Dr Masrur 
joined in some of the discussion, but later | 
could see her in the reflection from the CCTV 
monitor, napping on the bench nearby. We'll 
run some detailed tests today. 


2145 


A very long day. Testing has been difficult - 
every instruction needs to be delivered in 
English and Bengali, and the subjects were 
unwilling to cooperate until | told them the tests 
would help us find them a cure. Why wouldn't 
they be on edge? They've had hardly any 
sleep. Not that we have either. 


Observations. I'll write up the full test logs 
later, but for now we've learned: 


average time for 2136-A effect once line- 
of-sight is broken is around 45 seconds; 
line-of-sight for 2136-A purposes is not 
disrupted by reflection or refraction. | 
requested mirrors for the subjects to 
hang in the cell, which should help keep 
them within each other's view; 
line-of-sight needs to include skin to 
avoid 2136-A effect. We've asked the 
subjects to strip to the waist for now, and 
have updated the draft containment 
procedures. 

Dr Masrur has identified some 
anomalous structures in the tissue 
samples Eta-10 brought back - looks like 
this is some type of parasite after all. 


We ceased testing at 2130, and the subjects 
are currently hammering hooks into the walls 
of the cell to hang up the mirrors. Subject -1 is 
terrible at it - seems to miss as often as he 


hits, meaning it's taking forever. Constant 
hammering is not helping the anyone's nerves, 
especially subject - 3, whose shift it is to rest. 


Day 4 


0335 

Awake again, and on my observation shift with 
Dr Masrur, making sure no more than one 
subject sleeps at a time. When sleeping, 
subject -2 seems in the grip of nightmares, 
twitching and spasming. Could the infection be 
degrading motor control even while subjects 
are under watch from another host? 


Dr Masrur apologised again for spilling coffee 
on my draft logs. I've reassured her that it was 
an accident, but we will need to get a back-up 
team on this, as the lack of sleep is wearing us 
all down. 


1240 

Today's tests have been inconclusive. 
Subjects -1 and -2 have grown disruptive, 
failing to comply with some instructions. At one 
stage, subject -2 stood up in the middle of a 
test and lurched jerkily across the cell. Dr 
Masrur tells me he was shouting "I can't stop! 
Help!" Subject -3 is showing signs of agitation 
at this behaviour, and has been less 
cooperative than before. Any test results we 
have are probably compromised. 


1810 

Testing cancelled for the day. Subjects -1 and 
-2 are no longer compliant, sporadically 
staggering around the room with voices raised 
in alarm. According to Dr Masrur, the subjects 
appear to be conscious of their behaviour, but 
unable to exercise gross motor control. Dr 


specifically induce a fatal allergic reaction in 
the Target. Contacted [DATA EXPUNGED] for 
analysis of the six “exotic” recipes. 


Test 241-12, / /20 
Subject: Subject 241-F, [DATA EXPUNGED] 


Procedure: Subject 241-F was instructed to 
prepare the six dishes that contain neither 
peanuts nor lupin flour. The dishes were 
turned over to [DATA EXPUNGED] for 
analysis. The six recipes were transcribed and 
turned over to [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Results: [DATA EXPUNGED] 
Analysis: [DATA EXPUNGED] 


Subject 241-F showed no apparent ill effects 
from preparing seven different dishes from 
SCP-241 in quick succession. Recommend 
retaining subject to study long-term effects of 
secondary (i.e. not as the Target) exposure to 
SCP-241. 


Test 241-13, / /20 


Subject: Subject 241-G was chosen from 
general population and is known to have an 
allergy to peanuts. 


Procedure: Subject was instructed to eat the 
remaining cake from Test 241-11. 


Results: Subject asked if the cake contained 
peanuts, and was assured that it did not. 
Subject stated that he didn’t much like carrot 
cake, and was told [DATA EXPUNGED]. 
Subject started eating the cake, remarking that 
the cake was “pretty good, actually”. Subject 
consumed approximately 75% of the 


Fletcher agrees that this appears to be a new 
stage of the infection. It has greatly alarmed 
subject -3, who keeps yelling at the other 
subjects to back away. Nothing we can do for 
him, of course, and | can sympathise with 
being stuck in a small room with two other 
people and no sleep. 


2125 

The back-up team arrives tomorrow to take 
over. We'll tell them to shorten the observer 
shifts - Dr Fletcher is so tired he can barely 
hold his pen straight, and I've given up on 
cutlery. The only good news is that subjects -1 
and -2 have recovered some motor control, 
and are sitting still, or moving slowly and 
carefully. They've stopped shouting too, 
lapsing into a slurred drawl when they speak at 
all. Subject -3 is crouched in a corner of the 
cell, with the hammer from the mirror-hanging. 
He is glaring at the others and twitching, but I'll 
take that over the shouting. Not much longer to 
go, and then some rest. 


2345 

Oh shit. Shit shit shit. How the hell will | The 
experiment is terminated. The subjects are 
dead. 


At approximately 2330, subject -3 started to 
fall asleep despite his best efforts. As he did 
so, subjects -1 and -2 stood up and advanced 
on him. Their movement was deliberate but 
controlled, and they repeated a single word - 
Dr Masrur translated it as "Look!". Subject -3 
woke with a start, and backed further into the 
corner, clutching the hammer and yelling at 
them. But they kept coming, and when they 
got too close He was uncoordinated, but they 
were slow, and still clumsy. And he had the 


hammer. 


We watched it all, and it seemed to take 
forever. 


And then, as he stood there, slick with blood 
and shreds of tissue, we realised what would 
happen next. 


His heaving chest froze. The hammer slid from 
a frozen hand. He fell, motionless. 


We watched him suffocate in a room full of air. 


Day 5 


0010 
I've sent Masrur to get help. Fuck quarantine. 


0020 

Forgive me, Dr Richards. | need to record a 
containment breach of SCP-2136. We have 
been infected. Fletcher denies it, but he must 
have seen the subjects when letting the D 
Class in. | know he must have, because 
Fletcher looked away from me. 


When | was nine, | fell into a river and almost 
drowned. This was worse. | was desperate to 
breathe. Frantic. And | could do nothing. There 
was no water to claw at, no gasping, just the 
knowledge that | was watching myself die. 
Helpless. 


If he hadn't turned around, | would be dead. 
Thank god | froze looking at him, or we would 
both be dead. Would all be 


0030 
Dr Masrur made it as far as the hallway before 
she collappsed. Dr Fletcher and | stumbled out 


together to find her - we must look like a bad 
joke,, trying to keep each other in view, 
lumbering into doors. SHe didn't deserve this. 


0555 

Hafrd tio type now, even bedtween spasmsd. 
Its like sittimg in the paassenger seat ofv my 
brain, and someome edlse iws drivimg. 
Fledtcher is gettging worse too. 


1125 

He's watching me, | know it. If he wasn't, | 
would be dead. But I'm not watching him. If | 
don't turn around, he can't move, and he'll die, 
and then I'll die. So I've got about 5 minutes of 
typing, and then another 5. Good. The back-up 
team will be here in less than three hours, and 
we have to be dead by then. They can't find us 
alive - it has to die with us. 


The spasms have finally worn off, and | still 
have some time before it takes me over, so | 
can type. A warning. This pathogen is more 
complex than we realised. We thought it was 
collecting electrical impulses just to feed, but it 
was storing them. To use. To drive us. Once it 
understands the muscles, it knows where to 
push, where to pull. Our consciousness, 
trapped in an electrical puppet made of flesh 
that is no longer ours to control. Talking is 
more complicated, but it can learn that too. | 
have been mumbling gibberish for hours. So 
has Dr Fletcher. And then he spoke. 


"Look!" he said, staring at me avidly, "Look! 
Look! Look!" He started to shuffle towards me, 
and | didn't think. | closed my eyes. 


And now I'm typing, and waiting for him to die, 
and trying to resist the urge to turn around. He 
wants me to look, but | can't. | can't look. | 


can't look. Icantlookicantlookicant

Footnotes 

1. Itis hypothesised that the transmission stage is sub-atomic in 
size, and is carried by individual photons reflected from the skin of 
an infected host, infecting the new host via the retina. 

2. Similarity between the effects of SCP-2136 pathogen 
andSCP-2218instances have been noted. Investigation into whether 
the anomalous properties affecting SCP-2218 instances are an 
altered version of SCP-2136, or visa versa, is ongoing. 

3. This may indicate that the pathogen "feeds" on these impulses - 
cell samples containing functioning pathogen will be required to 
confirm this mechanism.

SCP-2137: The Forensic Ghost Of Tupac Shakur 


Item #: SCP-2137 
Object Class: Euclid Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: When not being used, 
SCP-2137 is to be kept within a typical electronic 10-digit metal safe 
in the Safe Wing of Site 23. All digital and wireless broadcast media 
must be kept at least one hundred meters away from SCP-2137. 
Due to SCP-2137's anomalous effect having been determined to 
have no ranged limit, digital, wireless and broadcast media may be 
used but should be monitored closely for any appearance of 
SCP-2137-1 or -2. 


Other than the testing and recording of Track 7, SCP-2137 should 
be considered an inanimate item without agency of its own, and any 
demands or threats made by SCP-2137-2 should be ignored. 


Once a week, 2137 is to be cleaned and all tracks are to be played 
in succession, with special attention paid to the instance of 2137-1 
that replaces track 7. 


The names, situations and anecdotes presented in that instance of 
SCP-2137-1 must then be reported to 2137 Special Committee 
("Pac Watch"). 


On the rare occasion that non-Foundation organizations cannot 
address the situation presented in an instance of SCP-2137-1, O5-9 
has given authorization to activate MTF-339 ("The Suge Knights") to 
take any and all measures necessary to reach a resolution to the 
problem. Operational success will be indicated by a new instance of 
2137-1. 


Personnel who wish to examine or attempt to interact with 
SCP-2137 must ask Dr. Kivowitz for authorization beforehand, which 
will then pend O5 clearance. 


Description: SCP-2137 is a single compact disc copy of "Me 
Against The World," a hip-hop album by the artist Tupac Shakur, 
released in 1995. Physical examination as well as laser testing 
indicates that the CD was one of the initial release, manufactured 
and distributed in 1995; conventional testing of the disk itself reveals 
identical results to a non-anomalous copy of the album. The case 
and liner notes have been determined to have no anomalous 
qualities, and the physical makeup and encoding of the disk appear 
completely normal. 


However, upon playing track 7, normally "Heavy In The Game," the 
listener will encounter an instance of SCP-2137-1. The anomaly 
takes the form of spontaneously-generated, professionally-produced 
songs featuring Tupac Shakur in various styles within the hip hop 
genre. Though each instance of SCP-2137-1 generated is unique, 
they share certain commonalities in terms of subject matter. The 
central focus of the song invariably addresses a crime, almost 
always a murder or series of murders, and then gives necessary 
anecdotal evidence or information to correctly identify and prosecute 
the killer, even going so far as to specify prosecutors or recommend 
vigilante justice. 


Though generation of SCP-2137-1 has been determined to have a 
definite causal nature, the manner in which SCP-2137-1 instances 
are copied onto SCP-2137 has yet to be ascertained. 


SCP-2137-2 

The primary voice on the songs, from herein identified as 
SCP-2137-2, matches cleanly through advanced audio 
analysis to that of the real Tupac Shakur, who died in 
1996, over a year before the recovery of SCP-2137. 


However, occasionally, on crimes of a particularly 
complicated or brutal nature, SCP-2137-2 will be joined 
by other "performers," either guest-rapping or singing the 
chorus or bridge. This has included many of Tupac's 
contemporaries, such as Snoop Doggy Dogg, Nas, No 
Doubt, Everclear, Weezer and Busta Rhymes, as well as 
artists from the 2000s including Chris Brown, Katy Perry, 
Lil Wayne, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, the Ying Yang Twins, 
Drake, Neon Trees, Jet, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and 


Eminem, usually at the height of their popularity. 


On a few notable occasions involving long-unsolved 
crimes by still active criminals, there have been guests of 
a more blatantly anachronistic nature, stand-outs among 
whom include Phil Harris, the Andrews Sisters, Frank 
Sinatra, Buddy Holly, The Who, Elvis Presley, Diana 
Ross, and The Beatles. Heavily anachronistic guests 
tend to take the role of primary artist, the song performed 
in their style, with SCP-2137-2 joining as a rap guest. 


When contacted, none of these artists had any 
recollection of recording for, or information regarding, 
SCP-2137. 


The crimes themselves share that they are unsolved, or, in some 
cases, have escaped detection entirely. The majority of instances of 
SCP-2137-1 address crimes of private citizens such as serial killers, 
spree-murders, or career criminals, though occasionally the songs 
will address larger groups, such as Hamas, ISIS, the IRA, and even 
in two separate instances the Chaos Insurgency and the Church of 
the Broken God. 


A prototypical example of SCP-2137-1 is included here for 
reference. 


+ Excerpt from SCP-2137-1-542 


Jeff Riegert out there and still stalkin the night, 
Killed his brother and five strangers with the 
same damn knife, 

Now it's not my place to tell you what to do, 
But nigga | know what | would do if | were you 
He hid the blade in an old barn off the North 
111 

He already got six dog don't let him make it 
seven 


When the crimes have been addressed and the guilty parties 
brought to light, either by the legal system or otherwise, SCP-2137-1 
is immediately replaced by a new instance. However, the track is 


easily recorded through conventional means, recorded versions are 
not subject to change or replacement, and the original can be 
replayed from the CD endlessly before the killer is found, with no 
little variation. There are currently nearly one thousand instances of 
SCP-2137-2 on record. 


+ Initial Recovery Log 


SCP-2137 was recovered in the home of Avon 
Lincoln, arrested for the vigilante slaying of 
Michael Ferris, who was later revealed to have 
been the Ojai Strangler, responsible for six 
murders over the summer of 1996. 


Avon's insistence that Tupac Shakur spoke to 
him from beyond the grave and told him he 
had to take justice into his own hands, 
because Ferris' position as District Attorney 
would prevent a fair trial, drew the attention of 
Foundation agents after the song in question 
was produced as evidence in court. 


Amnestics were administered to all involved, 
and Lincoln was released back into the 
general population. 


Addendum 1a: The XK Incident: 


Initially, researchers experimented with anonymously tipping off 
local police departments through Foundation plants, which led to the 
resolution of over cold cases, including the recovery of SCP- , 
SCP-_ , and SCP-617, though no direct link has been established 
other than the murders involved. 


However, after years this use of the SCP was deemed impractical; 
repeatedly addressing the crimes discussed in 2137's "music" was, 
in practice, allowing the SCP to dictate the circumstances of its 
containment, and under the wrong circumstances, opened the 
Foundation to potential exposure through continuous interaction with 
law enforcement at all levels across multiple governments. 


In response to this, O5-9 ceased addressing the crimes in late 20 . 


After two months passed, SCP-2137's behavior radically changed, 
when, for the first time, an instance of SCP-2137-1 was produced 
that revealed SCP-2137-2 had an awareness of its containment. 


+ Excerpt from SCP-2137-1-851 


You say you're about security but you ain't the 
good guys, 

You redact and expunge man your silence is 
lies 

You say you're here to protect yet you're 
letting killers run free 

Don't make me show you how rough this thug 
can be 

Well, 

You can't contain the king dawg 

Homie you do not wanna start this struggle 

| suggest you change the tune unless you're 
looking for trouble 

Maybe y'all should lay back and let me do my 
duty, 

Locked in drawer feelin like y'all tryna screw 
me, 

You're steppin all up on my destiny 

You might not believe I'm the real Pac 

But I'm not just a CD 


The decision was made to halt testing entirely, rather than 
acquiesce. 


After one week passed, an instance of SCP-2137-1 appeared 
spontaneously on the YouTube channel of Los Angeles-based hip 
hop station [DATA EXPUNGED}], and in the lone hour before it was 
taken down accrued over views. 


"XK Scenario” Incident 


The image displayed on the video was a still photograph, 
apparently authentic though by its nature highly 


anomalous. The photograph is of Shakur, estimated to 
be in his early forties,! wearing the garb of Foundation 
D-Class Personnel, with his middle fingers raised. The 
accompanying song, titled " ," focused on SCP- _ , 
revealing its actual location and means by which it could 
be broken free of current containment procedures, and 
identified several members of the O5 Council by their 
first names as it described the function and nature of the 
Foundation. 


In a massive sweeping operation involving the activation of multiple 
task forces across _ continents all trace of the video was erased, and 
all viewers were administered Class-A Amnestics. Midway 
through this operation, an entire album titled "XK Scenario" was 
released to the iTunes account of Beyonce Knowles. Each song 
featured SCP-2137-2, as well as a variety of guest artists, and 
focused on a different Keter class SCP currently in captivity. 


Though SCP tracking bots were able to bring "XK Scenario" down 
after only downloads, complete digital eradication of the individual 
files has proven difficult. Though no loss of life or property was 
incurred, the sheer scale of the danger posed by this containment 
breach prompted a Foundation-wide state of high alert. This 
prompted an ongoing upgrade to all automatic SCP firewalls, and 
engendered the reclassification of SCP-2137 from Euclid to Keter. 


The breach sparked heated debate as to how to proceed with the 
containment of (and conceptual understanding regarding) 
SCP-2137, which came to an end upon the appearance of a new 
instance of SCP-2137-1. This instance was produced spontaneously 
through the mouth of SCP-__, which appeared to fall into a trance 
state during the incident, with the lyrics, in totality, repeatedly written 
in what was identified as [DATA EXPUNGED] one hundred and 
seventeen thousand (117,000) times all over the interior of its 
containment chamber. 


+ Excerpt from SCP-2137-1-564 


Help me catch my killers 
And I'll let you have yours 
Trust me, you nerds do not want a war 


remaining cake before declaring satiation. 
After seven minutes, subject started showing 
signs of anaphylactic shock. Epinephrine was 
administered, and subject was stabilized. 
Subject eventually recovered, although 
recovery time was somewhat longer than 
expected. 


Analysis: It appears that, although the recipes 
from SCP-241 are potentially hazardous to 
anyone susceptible to the allergen in question, 
SCP-241’s recipes are most potent against the 
Target. Results from Tests 241-12 and 241-13 
are encouraging to [DATA EXPUNGED] for 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Test 241-14, / /20 


Subject: Subject 241-H was chosen from 
general population. According to complete 
health screenings, subject has no food 
allergies. 


Procedure: Subject was instructed to open 
SCP-241 and leave it open for analysis. 


Results: Analysis of SCP-241 showed that 79 
of the recipes on its pages called for chicken 
eggs or egg-based products. 15 of the 
remaining recipes called for eggs from [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. The other five recipes [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. These five recipes were 
transcribed by [DATA EXPUNGED] and turned 
over to [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Subject 241-H stated that she had never 
experienced any problems eating eggs before. 
Subject was presented with one dozen hard- 
boiled chicken eggs and was instructed to eat 
them. Subject asked for salt and pepper 
(granted), and proceeded to eat the eggs. 


What if | told you | it all? 


What if everyone knew that bout to

You can't stop me I'm the fucking man 
So consider long and hard the hammer I'm 
swingin’ 
Cause the next time you open your mouth 
It might just be me singin’ 


The decision was made to resume the former method of testing, 
involving the embedded informants used to relay SCP-2137's 
evidence and information, while continuing to study the method by 
which SCP-2137 transmits its broadcasts, in an effort to truly contain 
it completely. SCP-2137-2 resumed its previous behavioral pattern, 
SCP-2137-1s focusing on crimes until their killers are located by 
conventional law enforcement, with the exception of one final track 
— at this time, its last recorded direct interaction with the 
Foundation.

You got a lot of gray 

and that keeps you up at night 

but sometimes 

things really are just black and white 


Investigation into any kind of link or pattern between the crimes 
SCP-2137 solves is ongoing, as is interest to why it doesn't use its 
agency to pursue the criminals in question rather than working 


through proxies.

SCP-2138: Secrets, secrets are no fun... 


Item #: SCP-2138 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2138 is contained in a 
pressurised canister, sealed inside an air-tight box. The box is 
stored in a standard containment locker at Site-73. Pressure 
sensors inside the canister are programmed to notify staff in case of 
any leak. 


Response to any leak, or any other activity requiring the 
containment locker to be opened, is to be carried out by Level-1 
personnel trained to operate the site's industrial vacuum system. In 
the event of containment breach by SCP-2138, all personnel with 
Level-3 security clearance and higher are to be evacuated from 
Site-73 immediately. Any persons exposed to SCP-2138 are to be 
quarantined in isolation pending Site Director instructions. 


Research on SCP-2138 has been terminated following Incident 
SCP-2138-1. As a result of Incident SCP-2138-2, no instances of 
SCP-2138-A are available for further study. 


Description: SCP-2138 is a light blue, odourless, gaseous 
substance of unknown composition. The substance is chemically 
inert with normal atmospheric gases, is not flammable, and exhibits 
a rapid rate of diffusion. Initial gas chromatography results were 
inconclusive, and further physical and chemical properties of 
SCP-2138 have not been established. SCP-2138 was generated as 
a by-product of Dr Isaacs’ attempts to synthesise a less harmful 
alternative to current psychoactive substances used as "truth 
serums" in Foundation field work.1 


Exposure to or inhalation of SCP-2138 results in no harmful physical 
effects on animal specimens tested, but humans exposed to the 
substance exhibit the anomalous effect referred to as SCP-2138-A. 


Whether SCP-2138 has the same anomalous effect on all sapient 
entities is unknown. 


SCP-2138-A consists of the appearance of a dark rectangular shape 
(approximately 45 x 30 cm) above the subject's head. The shape 
displays a series of short statements in bright yellow text, with the 
series repeating over time. Each statement discloses information 
known to the subject alone, or to the subject and a limited set of 
others. The effect appears to be permanent, although a change in 
the subject's knowledge will affect the content of the statements 
displayed. SCP-2138-A is invisible to the subject, and attempts to 
interact physically with SCP-2138-A appear to be harmful to the 
subject.

Transcript of Post-Incident Debrief following Incident 
SCP-2138-1 


Date: 05/21/20 
Time: 4:30 PM 
Attendees: Site-73 Director, Dr Jan Isaacs 


SD-73: Recording now. This is Site Director 
Garcia, noting for the record the outcome of 
my discussion with Dr Jan Isaacs following 
Incident SCP-2138-1. As discussed, Dr Isaacs, 
your involvement in the incident has given rise 
to what | could euphemistically call a human 
resources issue. For obvious reasons, we 
haven't been able to include HR 
representatives in this meeting - that's also 
why we're using audio recording, and not 
video. 


Dr Isaacs: This is Dr Isaacs. For the record, | 
confirm that this approach has my full consent. 


SD-73: So, where should we start? 


Dr Isaacs: Well, our debate on the relative 
ethical merits of the use of clearance to adjust 
experimental assignments versus D Class 
treatment in general was, well, spirited, but 
let's gloss over that, shall we? 


SD-73: Agreed. | think your current condition is 
more than sufficient punishment for any 
infractions in that regard. So, then we 
discussed the fact that you are now a serious 
security risk for this site, and the Foundation in 
general. 


Dr Isaacs: You can't let me leave, nor can | 
work or interact with anyone without my 
current broad clearance. Basically you said 
you want to stick me in containment. 


SD-73: That's not what - 


Dr Isaacs: Sorry Alex, that was unfair. You 
didn't say that, but that doesn't change what it 
means from my perspective. You were offering 
me permanent residence at Site-73, in total 
isolation. We discussed in detail the likely 
psychological effects. 


SD-73: We did. And in recognition of that fact, 
| offered you the chance to spend time with 
your family. 


Dr Isaacs: On the condition that they live here 
permanently too! | mean, how did you think | 
could put my kids through living in this place, 
with the risks that we run every day, the - 


SD-73: - you know that this site has the 
Foundation's cleanest record in terms - 


Dr Isaacs: - and how could | look at them and 
tell them they have to leave their friends, their 
lives - 


SD-73: - a larger purpose to consider. Jan. 
Jan! | don't think we need to rehash this again. 


Dr Isaacs: |'m sorry, Alex, but that's easy for 
you to say. It's not your life. 


SD-73: It wasn't my choice that led to this. 
Look, we've worked together a long time. Are 
you sure about this? 


Dr Isaacs: |'m sure. Having discussed at 
length, | have requested that, in lieu of contai- 
in lieu of quarantine or termination, | am to be 
given an F-Class amnestic. 


SD-73: I'd like to record a formal caution on 
this request - Jan, you know that it won't be 
you any more. It's a total personality overwrite. 


Dr Isaacs: | know. But my new personality 
won't know any of the secrets I'm revealing 
now - | won't be a security risk. And I'll live. | 
mean, the whole point of this research in the 
first place was to avoid unnecessary harm. 


SD-73: We still won't be able to let you leave. 


Dr Isaacs: No, but | won't go mad thinking of 
the life that was taken away from me, and 
perhaps | can be of some use. Make mea 
clerk, or a janitor. Even a D Class. 


SD-73: Okay, then. | formally grant the 
request. Dr Isaacs will be given an F-Class 
amnestic and reassigned based on the 
replacement personality. For all external and 
internal purposes, this will be treated as death 


in the course of meritorious service to the 
Foundation, with full benefits to the family. This 
recording is to be treated as Clearance 4/ 
General-73. 


Dr Isaacs: Thank you, Site Director. Alex. 


SD-73: Jan, before we finish. What you've 
done for the site, over the years. | want to say 
- what you have been trying to do, | - | respect 
it. |- anyway. Ah, | guess I'll call the amnestics 
team. We can stop recording now.

Incident Report: SCP-2138-2 

Date: 05/29/20 

Location: Site-73, D-Class secure accommodation wing 
- hallway R-12 


6:34 PM: A minor riot was reported during the return of 
Class D personnel to quarters following the completion of 
daily testing. Security personnel have attested that the 
inciting factor was a violent assault by D-4435 on 
D-13962. D-13962 later died of his injuries. One other 
Class D (yet to be designated an identification number) 
suffered a fatal heart attack whilst intervening in the riot, 
and fifteen Class D personnel were injured.

« SCP-2137 | SCP-2138 | SCP-2139 » 


SCP-2139: Indeterminate object or objects, or 
possibly a memetic effect of some kind 


Item #: SCP-2139 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Site-35 is currently inoperative, 
and is not to be accessed by Foundation personnel. A recovery plan 
is in development for the removal of individual Keter and Euclid- 
class anomalies from Site-35 without recovery teams being 
compromised by the effects of SCP-2139. All retrieved anomalies 
will be contained temporarily at Site-73. Once existing anomalies 
have been removed, a testing regime is to be established for the 
identification of SCP-2139 on an objective basis, with objects 
confirmed negative for SCP-2139 to be removed from the site 
individually and stored or disposed of at the discretion of the Site-73 
director. 


Former staff of Site-35 are to be held in quarantine at Site-73, 
pending confirmation that they are no longer affected by SCP-2139. 
Upon release from quarantine, staff are to be reassigned to 
alternative projects until Site-35 reopens. 


Description: SCP-2139 is the provisional designation for a 
potentially anomalous psychological phenomenon which occurred at 
Foundation Site-35, located 53km North of Alexandria, Louisiana. 
The effect is theorised to be generated by an anomalous object or 
objects. 


Based on the evidence available, SCP-2139 is believed to greatly 
increase the credulity and suggestibility of persons affected by the 
anomaly. Affected persons do not have insight into their condition. 
Initial testing of former Site-35 personnel indicates that the 
psychological effect is anomalous, and fades over a period of one 
month after exposure to SCP-2139 ceases. Further research will be 
required to confirm that SCP-2139 behaviours are not the result of 


While eating the third egg, subject started 
complaining of stomach pain. Subject was 
instructed to continue eating, and she 
begrudgingly continued. 


Upon ingesting her seventh egg, subject 
collapsed on the floor, doubled over in pain. 
Within 60 seconds, subject started showing 
signs of anaphylactic shock. Epinephrine was 
administered, and subject was stabilized. 
Subject recovered, within the expected 
recovery time for such an episode. 


Analysis: We now have evidence that 
SCP-241 somehow induces or amplifies an 
allergy in the Target when SCP-241 is opened. 
This ability would explain how SCP-241 is able 
to cause an allergic reaction in Targets without 
pre-existing food allergies. 


For information about subsequent and current experimentation, see 
the Supplemental Testing Log. 


Addendum 3: Notes from Crosstesting: 


To determine the effects of SCP-241's recipes on subjects that 
either cannot eat or do not require sustenance, approval was given 
to crosstest SCP-241 on SCP-1770. Upon subject opening the book, 
the contents were identical to before it was closed previously. This 
confirms results of Test 241-23 in which SCP-241 does not respond 
to inorganic subjects. 


« SCP-240 | SCP-241 | SCP-242 » 


ordinary crowd psychology effects. 


Formal testing of SCP-2139 itself has not been possible, as the 
entirety of Site-35 appears to have been affected by the anomaly 
before the existence of SCP-2139 was confirmed. This has also 
prevented the identification of the object or objects purportedly 
giving rise to the anomalous effect. 


Addendum 2139/1 - Site-35 Daily Briefings 


Below are relevant extracts from Site-35's scheduled daily briefings 
to US central command. On 17 January 2016, Command noted that 
Site-35 had a higher rate of research proposals than usual, and 
queried the reason for this increase. 


18 January 2016 


We have discussed the growth of research proposals 
with the heads of department, and their reports indicate 
that researchers are generating more ideas than usual to 
explain the anomalies secured on site. At this stage our 
working hypothesis is that there is some form of 
interaction between the anomalies on-site that is causing 
a positive feedback loop and making their properties 
more readily ascertainable. 


19 January 2016 


You're correct, of course, that any anomalous interaction 
would have shown up before now - we have discarded 
that possibility. We are now wondering whether the effect 
is the result of a new anomaly, yet to be classified. 


Testing across the site with Kant-counters has shown no 
unexpected readings, which we interpret as evidence 
that this new anomaly must have a side-effect of 
disabling Foundation technology. That would also 
explain why none of the Scranton Reality Gauge Alarms 
were triggered. 


Noting that this could be a more serious situation than 


originally anticipated, we have cancelled all non- 
essential staff leave as a precaution. 


20 January 2016 


Alternatively, the anomalous effect could simply be to 
enhance creativity and generate more research 
proposals in that manner. A behavioural influence, rather 
than an effect on reality, would explain why the anomaly 
doesn't give rise to abnormal Hume readings. 


Dr. Carter has raised the point that, if the anomaly is 
focused so narrowly on assisting the development of 
original thought, it is unlikely to have arisen naturally. 
The question is: who would have the ability and incentive 
to construct such an anomaly, and for what purpose? 


21 January 2016 


On reflection, we agree with you that the anomaly 
appears to affect credulity, rather than creativity. Our 
previous theories have been discarded, and we have 
initiated a site-wide lockdown. We are looking into 
potential sources of the anomalous effects, based on 
when symptoms first became evident. 


22 January 2016 


Investigations have uncovered the following potential 
sources of the anomaly: 


« Uncommonly mild winter weather through January 
2016, potentially indicating a meteorological 
phenomenon 

¢ Extended D-Class testing of SCP-1011 during 
November 2015 

¢ Change of Site-35 supplier of cardboard boxes on 
1 December 2015 

¢ 15 August 2015 - further amendments to 
SUSEOCT (Southern United States Extranormal 
Organization Cooperation Treaty) on behalf of the 


Foundation and representatives of UIU and 
Marshall, Carter and Dark LLP 

¢ Third anniversary of the death of former Region 
352 Director John O'June in January 2016 

¢ Unscheduled visit on 4 January 2016 by Site 
Director Aktus, Site-81 


We will advise further as our hypotheses develop. 
23 January 2016 


Numerological combinatorics to assess congruence 
between January temperatures and significant dates in 
Director O'June's life has so far yielded few results. At 
Dr. Yu's suggestion, we will incorporate the section 
numbers of SUSEOCT amendments into our next 
iteration. 


Separately, cross-checking of Foundation containment 
files to which we have access has turned up several 
possibilities which we think Command should investigate 
further. SCP-2366 and SCP-2604 are both mind- 
affecting anomalies stemming from otherwise-ordinary 
wood and wood-derived products. Both are deliberately 
manufactured, and would fit with our working theory of 
an intentionally designed anomaly. They could also 
easily evade standard detection - when everyone is 
looking at the trees, the wood is the one thing on Earth 
no-one has their eyes on. There could be other similar 
anomalies out there, hidden in plain sight. 


We hereby request delivery of samples of SCP-2366 and 
SCP-2604 to Site-35 for comparative analysis with our 
supplies of cardboard boxes. 


24 January 2016 


The Site-35 management committee, having debated at 
length, are agreed that cardboard boxes are the most 
likely source of the anomaly. All site resources have now 
been devoted to this investigation - we look forward to 


your response to our requisition request. 


Senior Researcher Michaels has noted that the new 
supplier for the boxes was "Apollo Office Supplies Inc.". 
Could this company be related to the Order of the 
Hyacinth, responsible for the death of Director O'June? 
According to Greek myth, Hyacinth was a lover of the 
god Apollo, suggesting a connection. The infestation of 
Louisiana by water hyacinth is well-known, and several 
staff have since corroborated reports of increased growth 
of the plant in bodies of water near the site. Water 
hyacinth is also known as the Terror of Bengal. Please 
advise. 


25 January 2016 


Please respond to our previous requests. The general 
staff population are very concerned about the Order of 
the Hyacinth plot to destabilise Site-35, and silence from 
Command will encourage further talk of complicity in this 
scheme by Foundation personnel outside the site. 


We have discovered that the change of cardboard box 
supplier was confirmed by one "Declan Hall". No person 
of that name is on the current Site-35 staff list, and we 
have been unable to discover any such person on the 
Foundation database. Presuming that the HR records 
have not been redacted by co-conspirators in RAISA, 
this appears to have been a fake name, suggesting an 
inside job. 


As the Order of the Hyacinth is a Catholic sedevacantist 
sect, we have taken the precaution of confining all known 
Catholic staff in the D-Class barracks. 


26 January 2016 


We continue to generate theories as to the source of the 
anomaly. Our previous cardboard box theory has been 
supplanted by new analysis suggesting that the anomaly 
could be caused by a single object with a large area of 


effect, or by a liquid or gas that is able to move around 
the site undetected. 


We accept that the detention of certain staff members 
may have been disproportionate, and they have been 
released. Indeed, we now consider that the anomaly may 
have been deliberately made to look like the work of a 
Catholic sect in order to frame innocent staff, and that 
the real perpetrators of this conspiracy have been 
manipulating the situation throughout. 


Could you please share with us information about the 
movements of Director Aktus between June 2015 and 
today. Certain staff have raised concerns that his visit 
may not have been as unscheduled as it originally 
appeared. Further data is required in order to ascertain 
the full extent of his involvement. 


27 January 2016 


Negative, Command: we strongly advise against shutting 
down Site-35. Our investigations into the anomaly 
continue to generate new leads, in a number of different 
directions, which should be pursued to the fullest extent 
by the site community. We recognise that we are under 
the influence of the anomaly, but we do not understand 
why you have dismissed our contention that it was 
deliberately engineered as a threat to the Foundation. 
Surely the anomaly's effect puts us in the best position to 
develop theories as to its source? 


The removal of personnel or objects risks the loss of 
containment of the anomaly within site walls, before it is 
formally identified. Taking objects off-site, or worse, to 
other Foundation sites, risks cross-contamination of 
anomalous properties and could cause a cascade effect, 
with further sites compromised by the anomaly. This 
could be exactly what the anomaly's creators want. 


We are very concerned with Command's attitude to our 
advice and updates. We have noted your refusal (or 


inability?) to provide us with details of Director Aktus' 
movements, and thus the suppression of our quest for 
the truth. Please be advised that, as of this time, we will 
consider any Foundation approach to the site as 
evidence of collusion with the person or group behind 
this anomaly, and will respond with force. 


On 28 January 2016, MTF Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") was 
deployed to establish control over Site-35. [REDACTED]. The site 
was eventually subdued with no further casualties and all personnel 
and affected MTF members removed to Site-73 for quarantine. 


« SCP-2138 | SCP-2139 | SCP-2140 » 


SCP-2140: Retroconverter 


Item #: SCP-2140 
Object Class: Thaumiel (SCP-2140-1-D is considered Neutralized) 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2140 poses no threat to 
Foundation personnel. Deployment to counter hostile SCP-2140-1 
instances under the conditions of Appendix A is authorized. 
Expanded deployment against other threats must be approved on a 
case-by-case basis by O5 command and the Ethics Committee. 


Every possible effort should be made to prevent creation or 
discovery of additional instances. Any person exposed to, or 
possessing significant knowledge (as defined in Appendix C) of any 
SCP-2140-1 instance is to be terminated, amnesticized or exposed 
to SCP-2140 at the discretion of the Strategic Threats Officer. 


The fragments of the only known copy of SCP-2140-1-D are 
permanently sealed in secure deep storage at the facilities listed in 
Appendix E. 


Description: SCP-2140 is an image derived through Project 
Kallinikos from SCP-2140-1-D. SCP-2140-1 instances are 
alternative versions of the image. All instances depict glyphs in the 
[REDACTED] script. 


While it is possible for persons of any background to view isolated 
portions, 100% of persons who view a complete SCP-2140 
(regardless of medium) are loyal Foundation personnel with 2/2140 
clearance or higher. These persons invariably have highly 
corroborated personal histories (with multiple eyewitnesses, known 
Foundation colleagues, and documentation) consistent with this 
profile. The presence of corroborating physical evidence supports 
the hypothesis that this is a retroactive alteration to personal history 
such that the person will always have been a loyal Foundation 
employee with appropriate clearance. It is suspected that this 


anomaly follows a "path of least resistance" and alters the minimum 
necessary number of events (Appendix B). No record exists of any 
experimental test subjects (such as D-Class personnel) or any other 
person lacking appropriate background and clearance viewing the 
complete image. 


SCP-2140-1-D was first located at the [REDACTED] dig site km 
west of [REDACTED], Uzbekistan. Irregularities in the dig team's 
reports were noted and due to the nature of the dig site, a memetic 
hazard was suspected. MTF Eta-10 ("See No Evil") was 
deployed and faced heavy resistance from the dig team. The 
researchers and security personnel were later discovered to have 
been a covert cell within the Foundation dedicated to the 
retrocreation of [REDACTED] and were killed resisting capture.1 


Following recovery, Project Kallinikos was enacted. The project's 
separate teams analyzed sections of SCP-2140-1-D in isolation. 
Their findings were given to the compartmentalized implementation 
team which was then able to produce a working prototype of 
SCP-2140 with zero exposure to the original. All members of the 
project (including all personnel exposed to early prototypes) were 
subsequently exposed to SCP-2140 and amnesticized. 


Footnotes 

1. Ultimately MTF n-10 suffered three casualties as a result of 
SCP-2140-1-D exposure. Agent Swanson was presumably exposed 
first and then deliberately affected Agents Kim and Okoro. 
Subsequently these three agents were discovered to have 
represented another deep cell (despite originating on three separate 
continents and knowing each other for less than a year) and were 
killed attempting to accessSCP-

SCP-2602 Photographic Evidence 


The following photos were tagged for immediate review 
by a panel of personnel with minimal exposure to 
SCP-2602, which used to be a library. 


(Click to access images in original resolution) 


Image 2602-114: Anthropology Microfiche Section 


Analysis: A collection of anthropological records from a 
wide variety of cultures is by no means atypical for a 
former library. 


Image 2602-116: Microfiche Index 


Analysis: Feelings of intense admiration are a perfectly 
normal reaction to the organizational aplomb of a former 
library. 


Image 2602-117: Microfiche Reader 
Analysis: Many former libraries would take measures to 


preserve sensitive equipment from dust, light, and 
sentient, edible life. 


Image 2602-121: Fire Exit 


Analysis: Fire exits are often re-purposed in former 


libraries, as are patron bodily fluids. 


Image 2602-124: Quiet Study Area 
Analysis: Although sleeping is often against policy in 


active libraries, it's common for former libraries to contain 
patrons who have nodded off in the quiet areas. 


Image 2602-132: Compact Shelving 


Analysis: Graffiti from enthusiastic patrons is sadly 
typical in former libraries, which lack both janitors and 
carrion-feeders. 


Image 2602-124: Exbibliothetic Possession 
Analysis: It's perfectly normal and arguably quite 


convenient for circulation carts to levitate in the presence 
of Dewey radiation typical of former libraries. 


Image 2602-133: Library Stacks 


Analysis: Collapsible shelving is typical in former libraries 
with space considerations. 


Experiment Log 241-L02: Supplemental Testing on 
SCP-241 


Just as in Initial Testing, all tests on SCP-241 were carried out in 
Test Kitchens at Site-19, using D-class personnel for test subjects, 
unless otherwise indicated. 


Test 241-21, / /20 


Subject: Subject 241-J was chosen from general population. Health 
screenings indicate subject is allergic to peanuts. The severity of 
subject’s allergy was determined using [DATA EXPUNGED] Test. 


Procedure: Subject was instructed to close and open SCP-241 
several times at prescribed intervals. Each time SCP-241 was 

opened, the complete contents of SCP-241 were recorded and 
transcribed, while subject underwent [DATA EXPUNGED] Test. 


Results: [DATA EXPUNGED] Test results indicated the subject’s 
allergy to peanuts worsened each time subject opened SCP-241. 
Subject’s allergy was most affected the first time he opened 
SCP-241, and subsequently opening SCP-241 appears to have 
diminishing effects. However, subject’s allergy worsened from “mild” 
to “severe” on [DATA EXPUNGED] Scale. 


Most of the recipes in SCP-241 reappeared when subject closed 
and reopened SCP-241. Between 11 and 17 (inclusive) new recipes 
appeared each time SCP-241 was reopened. Recipes that had been 
replaced did not reappear. Only one “exotic” recipe was replaced, 
after subject had opened SCP-241 for the fourth time. Complete 
records of the contents of SCP-241 during this test can be found 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Analysis: The effects of SCP-241 appear to follow the Law of 
Diminishing Returns. SCP-241 also appears to tailor its choice of 
recipes to the specific condition of the Target, though much more 


SCP-2141: Primordial Wyrm 


Item #: SCP-2141 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: As of 7/04/20 , the entrance to 
the tunnel in which SCP-2141 resides must always remain 
unobstructed. Mobile Task Force Omega-23, under the command of 
Site AdministratorL — , has been designated as the primary unit 
responsible for secure containment procedure regarding SCP-2141. 


Logistics for containment of SCP-2141 are provided by Provisional 
Containment Site-141, located at 44.0437° N, 73.9265° W, 6 km due 
east-by-northeast of SCP-2141. This Site operates under the front of 
a Forest Service outpost. 


When SCP-2141-1 emerges from SCP-2141 and attempts escape, 
personnel must record the date and time of the anomaly’s 
appearance and its observable movement patterns, including 
average velocity and any instances of SCP-2141-1 delving 
underground. Following acquisition of requested data, personnel 
must fire upon SCP-2141-1 with rubber ammunition, only, until it is 
incapacitated. Personnel must lastly contact Site Administrator L 

to confirm that SCP-2141 has retrieved SCP-2141-1 and returned to 
its underground dormant state. 


Description: SCP-2141 is an immense earthworm-like creature 
located within a derelict tunnel at 44.0345° N, 73.9416° W, near the 
Adirondack Mountains. SCP-2141’s dimensions exceed the 
dimensions of the tunnel, with an average diameter of 8.5 manda 
currently undefined length; no instance of SCP-2141’s emergence 
has resulted in the emergence of its entire body. It is theorized that 
SCP-2141 is a spatial anomaly, able to “condense” its body while 
within the tunnel in order to compensate for its massive size. 


Mild video and radio interference occurs within approximately 5 km 


of the tunnel’s entrance. However, all electronic equipment used 
beyond 49 m of the entrance becomes permanently nonfunctional. 


Following Incident-2141-l, SCP-2141 periodically emerges from a 
chasm of unknown depth estimated 200 m beyond the entrance of 
the tunnel between intervals of 23 18 days. Upon emergence, 
SCP-2141 deposits SCP-2141-1 at approximately 50 m within the 
tunnel. 


SCP-2141-1 is a disfigured female humanoid believed to be a 
thorough mutation of the body of Mrs. after extensive 
exposure to SCP-2141. Its prominent features include a severely 
bloated abdomen as well as a viscous coating of pale yellow fluid. 
To achieve displacement, SCP-2141-1 aligns itself face-up and 
parallel to surfaces upon which it “slithers,” using this fluid to 
mitigate frictional forces. This fluid also bestows SCP-2141-1 
increased resistance to physical trauma, allowing the anomaly in 
one event to survive and make limited recovery from lower body 
amputation. 


Following Incident-2141-Il, SCP-2141 is considered to be using 
SCP-2141-1 as a form of gestational “nesting probe” to discover 
suitable habitats for the birth of its offspring. Consequentially, 
SCP-2141 is fiercely protective of SCP-2141-1 and will immediately 
pursue it if it is incapacitated. However, SCP-2141 does not appear 
to respond to other non-fatal damage to SCP-2141-1. 


Unless SCP-2141-1 is incapacitated outside of the tunnel during 
escape attempts, SCP-2141 does not attempt egress, facilitating 
containment procedures. However, SCP-2141 will not return to its 
dormant state unless it has retrieved SCP-2141-1 following 
incapacitation. When undergoing retrieval SCP-2141's high speeds 
(between 5 and_ kph) and size cause extensive damage to the 
landscape as a consequence of its size. 


In rare circumstances, SCP-2141-1 has been known to emulate the 
behavior of SCP-2141, such as its velocity and tendency to 
momentarily delve underground (See Incident 2141-III). 


+ Incident 2141-l (5/31/20 ): 


Regarding the emergence of SCP-2141: Discovery of 
SCP-2141 occurred during routine SAR’ mapping of the 
Northeastern U.S. in an effort to detect further instances 
of subterranean anomalies following discovery and 
containment of SCP-_ . Radar imaging due northwest of 
the Adirondack Park revealed imaging distortion 
surpassing absolute thresholds, prompting researchers 
to send one (1) remote-controlled, GPR? unit to the 
affected coordinates to conduct a subsurface survey. 
Electromagnetic interference prevented the unit from 
detecting subsurface anomalies, but a video feed 
attached to the unit, while subject to interference, 
eventually discovered SCP-2141’s habitat at the above 
coordinates, upon discovering a trail not found on any 
known maps. 


Foundation agents embedded in the Forest Service were 
activated to secure the perimeter of the tunnel. However, 
agents reported that it existed within the private property 


of the family, consisting of one vacation home 
seasonally occupied by a married couple of one (1) year 
(Mr. and Mrs. ). Discrete surveillance 


and exploration of the area continued, and two (2) field 
agents posing as Forest Service rangers were sent to 
the residence of Mr. and Mrs. upon their arrival to 
extract official permission to survey the tunnel under the 
guise of removing hazardous material and dangerous 
local fauna. 


Upon the arrival of field agents to his home, Mr. 

reacted violently when questioned regarding the 
tunnel housing SCP-2141, lunging at the agents with a 
ceremonial knife which could not be recovered from the 
scene. Agents responded with force, shooting Mr. 

twice in the abdomen. The wounds were believed 
to be non-fatal, but upon being injured, Mr. 
self-terminated by slashing his throat. Within three (8) 
minutes, SCP-2141 arrived at the seasonal home, 
demolishing the structure and "consuming" Mrs. 


The surviving agent was gravely injured, but managed to 
recover the following document upon arrival of 
Foundation personnel on-scene. 


Document recovered from the home of Mr. 


The mother must not be denied her offspring. 


Though tomorrow | betray your trust, beloved, 
know that it is in the service of maternity 
beyond the ken of both man and woman. And 
know that | shall pay for any wrong | have 
done unto you in my own blood, as is the cost 
of paternity. 


But the father must not be denied his birthright. 


Though my father, and my father’s father, and 
their fathers before them all failed to fulfill their 
paternal obligation, my father did pass on to 
me the knowledge of how to claim my 
inheritance. Yet it is not the will of my 
forefathers | invoke, but the will of primordial 
existence long denied the fruits of labor 
undeservedly enjoyed by humanity. 


Do you not know, ‘twas not for humanity that 
carnal knowledge was intended, but the 
Wyrm? 


We depart in the scorching condemnation of 
daylight. | feel my resolve wavering before me 
in the lines of stinking heat. But tonight, the 
moon shall be full with the promise of delivery. 
And so let deliverance come. 


No, | shall not ask for forgiveness. You will not 
bear our son, but you will bear witness to 

something infinitely greater. In your twenty-first 
year of womanhood, you shall free us from our 


original sin. 


The organism revealed to reside within the tunnel’s 
chasm has since been termed SCP-2141. Both 
individuals are now effectively considered deceased. 
Ownership of the territory surrounding SCP-2141’s 
habitat has since been transferred directly to the 
Foundation, facilitating effective containment. 


+ Incident 2141-II (6/23/20 ): 


Regarding Mrs. *s reappearance: Until further 
notice, SCP-2141-1 has been designated to describe all 
instances of Mrs. ’s reemergence. The first such 


emergence occurred at 8:41 p.m. on 6/23/20 , 
interrupting research being conducted near the tunnel to 
determine the geological age of the site. 


Senior Researcher L ordered personnel to non- 
lethally incapacitate SCP-2141-1 for retrieval and biopsy 
to confirm her hypothesis that SCP-2141 had selected 
Mrs. as a host for its offspring. She further 
ordered personnel to delay recovering SCP-2141-1 in 
the event that SCP-2141 emerged in an attempt to 
reclaim the body. 


SCP-2141 emerged shortly after incapacitation of 
SCP-2141-1 and reclaimed its body before immediately 
returning underground. Senior Researcher L thus 
recommends incapacitation of SCP-2141-1 immediately 
after any initial appearance. Containment procedures 
have been adjusted accordingly. 


While researchers were unable to collect SCP-2141-1 for 
testing, fluids collected on the scene left by SCP-2141-1 
are somewhat consistent with trace elements of amniotic 
fluid. Senior Researcher L _ ’s earlier conjecture that 
SCP-2141 may be incubating offspring between intervals 
of its emergence is considered confirmed. 


Senior Researcher L received a promotion to 


Provisional Site Administrator for her prudence and 
leadership on-site. 


Tests conducted regarding the geological age of the area 
within and immediately surrounding the tunnel were 
inconclusive. 


+ Incident 2141-IIl (7/04/20 ): 


Following Incident-2141-II, provisional containment 
procedures were established under order of Site 
Administrator L __, including the construction of a 
barricade to obstruct the motion of SCP-2141-1. At 2:37 
p.m. (within six (6) minutes of finalization of 
construction), SCP-2141-1 appeared just outside of the 
constructed barrier, emerging from underground. It 
immediately moved due south-by-southwest at an 
approximated velocity of between 5 and_ kph, 
continuing to delve underground and resurface between 
very short intervals as few as 0.03 s. At the time such 
movement patterns were unprecedented, and on-site 
personnel were unable to incapacitate SCP-2141-1 and 
prevent containment breach. 


SCP-2141-1 was instead incapacitated following a 
collision on Interstate 91 with a trailer truck, which 
resulted in the amputation of SCP-2141-1 above the 
knees. SCP-2141 reclaimed both the incapacitated body 
of SCP-2141-1 and its severed remains upon arrival. 


Foundation agents on the scene reported 7 casualties, 
1 of which were Foundation personnel. Additionally, 
severe structural damage was caused to Interstate-91, 
with property damage incurred of $8, , 


The aftermath was publicly explained as a series of 
avalanches, mudslides, and sinkholes prompted by 
nearby activity ofthe & Drilling Company. After 
the consequential bankruptcy of the company, the 
Foundation was able to significantly increase its 
presence in the area near SCP-2141 by offering front 


services to repair damages and by occupying many 
vacant Forest Service positions. 


In spite of having travelled a distance of km, 
SCP-2141 was noted to be continuous for the entire 
length of its “head” to its initial point of origin. 
Additionally, the anomaly has been determined to be the 
source of video and radio interference originating within 
SCP-2141, with this effect extending along its entire 
length. It is believed that this interference results from 
the anomalous spatial effects caused by SCP-2141. 
Class A Amnestics administered by agents posing as 
paramedics on scene thus ensured that the public 
remained unaware of SCP-2141's existence. 


+ Interview Log 2141- 20 (/ /20 ): 


Interviewed: Provisional Containment 
Site-141 Administrator, D L (“DL-141”) 
Interviewer: Site-28 Administrator 
(“Admin-28”) 

Location: Site-28, New York, New York 


<Begin Log: 7:25p.m., / /20 > 
DL-141: An interview room. What the fuck. 


Admin-28: You called me; you told me it was 
serious. Now it’s serious. This is standard 
procedure. You have urgent information to 
share regarding 2141, correct? You think we 
had you airlifted from upstate so you could 
make a courtesy call? “Off-the-books” isn’t a 
card you have in your hand right now, D 


DL-141: | called the O5s, — (pauses) — 
“twenty-eight,” not you. They “deferred” me to 
your — (Snorts) — “expertise.” 


Admin-28: The point, D . What the O5s 
decide isn’t something | decide, you know that. 


DL-141: Don't give me that crap. This is 
because of Incident[-2141]-lll. They don’t trust 
my — what’s the term? Operational judgment? 
Professional discretion? What’s the 
terminology for you all thinking I’m “a hysterical 
bitch”? You all air-hauled me out here so | 
could explain myself. 


Admin-28: There was a lot of damage. Not 
only Foundation lives lost, but civilians’. We 
cleaned it up — we’re stil/ cleaning it up — but | 
think it’s reasonable if the O5-Council would 
like someone to confirm that what you have for 
us today isn’t going to result in another — 


DL-141: So this is “the point,” huh? Fuck you, 
twenty-eight. You think you would have done 
better? You’ve seen the reports. 
“Unprecedented.” | — we — had no reason to 
believe that blocking off 2141-1’s exit — to such 
a limited extent, | might add — would cause a 
containment breach. The damn thing’s — 
(pauses) — she’s been learning. 


Admin-28: From SCP-2141. You claim. 


DL-141: It’s fucking Euclid-class, twenty-eight. 
Most of what | have is claims. But they’re 
claims backed by solid evidence. Since 
Incident 2141-I, she’s — 


Admin-28: “It.” “SCP-2141-1.” | would think 
that at your position you would have learned a 
degree of professional distance, D_ . (quietly) 
Lord knows I’ve had to. 


DL-141: (silent) 


Admin-28: Look, Administrator. We’re on your 
side. But you have to understand that this isn’t 
politics. This is protection. These are priorities. 


Secure, contain — 


DL-141: Protect. (sighs) | know. (pauses) | 
fucked up. (quietly) | fucked up. 


Admin-28: You “made an operational error 
due to the high variability of anomalous 
properties complicating containment.” (quieter) 
You need to get used to this, D_ . You’re right. 
We -— !’ve— seen the reports. And there were 
other researchers on-site who agreed with 
your decision to revise containment procedure. 
Those deaths aren’t your fault any more than 
SCP-2141-1’s predicament is — (pauses) — the 
fault of the “deceased” wife. The only one 
who's to blame is — well actually, it might as 
well be our reality. 


DL-141: (laughs) This is some kind of psych 
eval, huh? 


Admin-28: (laughs) As | said, standard 
protocol. We don’t think you’re — what was 
your term? 


DL-141: “A highly-pressured upper-level 
employee of the Foundation subject to typical 
stressors and psychological distress in the 
course of professional operations.” 


Admin-28: You're learning. 
DL-141: Yeah, | guess | am. 


Admin-28: We are taking you seriously, D 
What do you have for us? 


DL-141: (exhales) Here. (hands a document to 
Admin-28) 


Admin-28 (reading): Increased instances of 
SCP-2141 delving underground. (continues 


reading) And SCP-2141-1 is emerging ata 
greater average frequency. 


DL-141: Around every eighteen days or so. 


Admin-28: But existing containment 
procedure has been effective? 


DL-141: If this keeps up, they won't be. 
Admin-28: What do you mean? 


DL-141: Like | was saying — (pauses) — it’s 
learning. The anomaly is emulating the 
behavior — and in some cases, the appearance 
— of SCP-2141. That viscous coating — she’s 
had that from day one, but we’ve noticed other 
things. 


Admin-28: Such as? 


DL-141: Her eyes. Her sclerae, her irides, 
they’ve darkened considerably. And what 
looks like cataracts on her eyes makes us 
think she’s not using them — if she ever was. 
For the first few emergences after — (pauses) — 
after Incident 2141-III, she was bumping into 
walls, moving more erratically — but that’s 
since stabilized. SCP-2141 doesn’t have eyes 
— how it gets around, how it detects 
SCP-2141-1’s location is all a mystery to us — 
so that’s just one piece of evidence that 
SCP-2141-1 is becoming more like its... 


Admin-28: Progenitor. 
DL-141: Yes. But there’s others. 


Admin-28: The delving underground, the 
erratic velocities. 


DL-141: Yes. Nothing like what we saw during 


testing would be necessary to prove that theory. Suggest analysis of 
recipes offered during normal testing of SCP-241. 


Test 241-22, / /20 


Subject: Subject 241-K is a rhesus monkey. Health screenings 
indicated no apparent food allergies or other health problems. 


Procedure: Subject was introduced to SCP-241 and encouraged to 
open it by handlers. Handlers were instructed to keep subject from 
closing SCP-241 again. 


Results: Subject eventually opened SCP-241 and handlers kept it 
open for analysis. The contents of SCP-241 were consistent with 
previous results for a Target with a shellfish allergy, though again 
unique for the Target. Testing confirmed subject had developed an 
allergy to shellfish. A dish was prepared from SCP-241 by Subject 
241-F and presented to Subject 241-K. Subject 241-K ate the meal 
without hesitation, and nine minutes later was dead from 
anaphylactic shock, consistent with previous testing. 


Analysis: SCP-241 is just as effective on (certain) non-humans as it 
is on humans. The working theory now is that SCP-241 works on 
anything potentially susceptible to food allergies that can and does 
open SCP-241. 


Test 241-23, / /20 


Subject: Subject 241-L is a robot designed for remote manipulation 
of hazardous materials. 


Procedure: Subject was remote controlled by [DATA EXPUNGED], 
who was instructed to have the subject open SCP-241. 


Results: Subject opened SCP-241 via remote control. The contents 
of SCP-241 were identical to before it was closed previously. 


Analysis: SCP-241 apparently does not respond to inorganic 
Targets. 


Incident 2141-III, but enough to make us 
worry. If it ever exhibits that kind of behavior 
again... 


Admin-28: Existing containment procedures 
won't suffice. 


DL-141: Correct. 


Admin-28: Are you proposing terminating 
SCP-2141-1 to prevent containment breach? 


DL-141: Fuck no. For all we know the thing 
can probably regenerate. (hesitates) I’m 
proposing — (Pauses) — “neutralizing” 
SCP-2141. 


Admin-28: | — what? How? The sheer size 
alone — if we even could kill it — 


DL-141: - Neutralize it. 


Admin-28: (pauses) Neutralize it — how would 
we — 


DL-141: Dispose of the remains? | know. But 
something has to be done. | — | tried hindering 
the movement of SCP-2141-1. It doesn’t work, 
and | do not recommend trying it again. Even if 
it could work, the costs of a mistake are — 
they’re excessive. Especially if we don’t get 
the kind of godsend we got from that frickin’ 
18-wheeler. (pauses) Do you know how close 
its projected path put it to this Site? What 
would have happened if that truck hadn't hit it? 


Admin-28: And then we don’t even know what 
would have happened if the collision had 
neutralized it. 


DL-141: Exactly. And look, further down. 


Admin-28 (reading): “Personnel on-site have 
additionally reported increased seismic activity 
in the immediate vicinity of SCP-2141 while 
dormant.” Fuck. 


DL-141: Exactly, again. And we can’t get a 
reading of whatever is happening down there. 
Interference blocks off all attempts to use GPR 
beyond km. 


Admin-28: Jesus Christ. 


DL-141: So you see why I’m here. There’s a 
timetable on this. We don’t know what 
SCP-2141 is doing in response to our 
containment procedures. We can’t guarantee 
that any containment procedure we do design 
will prevent unprecedented anomalous 
behavior. This isn’t the first time that a scip has 
presented a threat to existing containment 
procedures, but this one is coming faster than 
we're ready to deal with it. Those greater 
frequencies of SCP-2141-1’s emergence — 
they represent decreases in the time it takes 
for SCP-2141 to incubate one of its offspring. 


Admin-28: What do you have to support that 
claim? 


DL-141: Not much. But if these things need to 
be carried to term, as they apparently do, it’s 
unlikely that all the shit we put SCP-2141-1 
through allows those gestating shits to survive 
inside of her. At the very least, we think 
SCP-2141 is doing damage control whenever 
it reclaims SCP-2141-1. Rehabilitating the 
trauma to the infant. But even one more of 
these things would be hell on our ability to 
contain the situation. Not to mention hell on 
our budget. 


Admin-28: I’ve yet to see hell freeze over cold 
enough to freeze out our funds, D 


DL-141: Yeah, and that’s probably because it'll 
be the last thing you see. 


Admin-28: True. (pauses) I’m sending a log of 
our conversation over to the O5. I'll endorse 
your recommendation. We're prioritizing 
termination of SCP-2141. 


DL-141: Fantastic. (sound of shuffling sheaves 
of paper) 


Admin-28: Wait. One more thing. 


DL-141: What is it? I’ve got a flight to catch, in 
less than five minutes, apparently. 


Admin-28: That document from Incident 2141- 
|. The O5 wants your assessment oT it. It’s not 
included in the report. 


DL-141: That lunatic’s writings? (laughs 
derisively) | don’t know what the hell he’s on 
about, and frankly, | don’t care. Maybe there is 
some pre-civilization legend about this thing 
we're dealing with. (quietly) What | am worried 
about is that there might be more idiots like 
him. Or even other locations where things like 
this are lying dormant. (pauses) My 
assessment of that document is that there is 
only one SCP-2141, given the way he refers to 
the anomaly as unique. But it’s not an airtight 
conclusion. 


Admin-28: As you said, few things are. Keep 
up the good work.

Site Administrator L has since been cleared of all 


charges of misconduct or negligence in her operational

SCP-2142: Just Clap Your Hands 


Item #: SCP-2142 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Individual instances of 
SCP-2142 require no special containment procedures, and are to be 
stored in a Bulk Storage Unit at Site-33. Testing of SCP-2142 may 
only occur in soundproof testing chambers of Class 3 or higher. 


Although individual instances of SCP-2142 can be stored with 
minimal upkeep, SCP-2142's methods of propagation or generation 
are not currently understood. MTF Delta-7 ("Sci Fidelity") is 
assigned the task of identifying, intercepting, and cataloging 
individual instances of SCP-2142. MTF Delta-7 is authorized to 
employ Class-B amnestics and administer Corrective Procedure 271 
in civilian populations as they deem necessary. Research into 
SCP-2142 and its effects should focus on identifying songs, aloums 
and artists likely to be an infection vector for SCP-2142. 


Foundation personnel exposed to SCP-2142 and determined to be 
under its effects can opt to undergo Corrective Procedure 27 and be 
re-assigned to another project. Personnel who will not consent to 
Corrective Procedure 27 are instead to report to Site-33's resident 
psychiatrist for a mandatory monthly evaluation and lessons in lucid 
dreaming techniques. 


Description: SCP-2142 designates any compact disc (78% of 
known instances), vinyl recording (18%), or cassette tape (4%) 
which induces the "Lavinia Complex"2, an anomalous psychological 
disorder, in the listener. 1,8 instances of SCP-2142 are currently in 
containment, with an unknown quantity of additional instances 
existing outside of containment. 


Listeners exposed to SCP-2142 will suffer from an anomalous sleep 
disorder dubbed the "Lavinia Complex" by its discoverer, Dr. 


Nadeem 3. Individuals suffering from a Lavinia Complex 
invariably dream about consuming the metacarpals and carpals of 
their own hands, along with all attendant flesh, tendons and muscle 
tissue. Subjects describe these dreams as vivid and unsettling. 
Those suffering from the complex also report anxiety, insomnia and 
hypnophobia; subjects tend to dread sleeping for any length of time. 


Of the Lavinia Complex sufferers the Foundation has been able to 
interview, subjects report that they dream every night, regardless of 
the length of their sleep. Even subjects who sleep for less than 90 
minutes* wake up to report nightmares involving self-cannibalization 
of the subject's hands. The dreams fit two major narratives: 


Type A: Type A dreams are vivid, gruesome and detailed, 
consisting solely of the subject's consumption of their own hands. 
Other details of the dream, such as where the dream occurred and 
whether or not the dreamer was alone, fade from memory when the 
subject awakes. Typical individuals suffering from the Lavinia 
Complex report that 90% or more of their dreams are Type A. 


Type B: Type B dreams have wildly divergent narratives, but always 
end with the dreamer consuming or about to consume their hands, 
then shortly thereafter waking. For example, one subject described 
exploring a tropical island and meeting friendly natives that invited 
him to a feast. The feast's main course was revealed to be several 
charred human hands, skewered through the palms on wooden 
stakes. The subject then noticed that his own hands had been 
severed at the wrist before he awoke. Some Lavinia Complex 
sufferers never experience a Type B dream, but most experience a 
Type B dream at least once in their lifetime. Subjects that profess to 
be lucid dreamers report much higher rates of Type B dreams, with 
over 60% of their dreams following the Type B narrative. 


SCP-2142 has only been discovered to affect aloum recordings by a 
limited number of artists. Additionally, only certain tracks appear to 
trigger the Lavinia Complex in listeners, while other tracks may only 
induce the anomalous disorder after repeated exposure. Below is a 
list of all songs and albums known to potentially be instances of 
SCP-2142.

process that involves inserting a sterilized needle into the patient's 
ear canal. The surgeon's goal is for the needle to penetrate a depth 
sufficient for puncturing the patient's eardrum, rendering the patient 
permanently deaf. Corrective Procedure 27 has so far proven to be

between SCP-2142 and the disorder. This connection was later 
made by the Foundation's in-house research team. Dr. Nadeem 
was offered a position as a Junior Researcher for SCP-2142,

Test 241-24, / /20 


Subject: Subject 241-M/859-E was chosen from general population. 
Health screenings indicated no allergies. 


Procedure: Subject was exposed to SCP-859 via touch. Subject 
then placed within a MOPP-4 containment suit. Subject was given 
SCP-241 and instructed to open it, and to keep it open. 


Results: Tests on skin sample taken from subject confirm 
development of severe allergy to spider venom, as per usual with 
contact with SCP-859. [DATA EXPUNGED] producing a mild burn. 
SCP-241 retained its previous set of recipes. 


Analysis: SCP-241 apparently requires physical contact with 
Subject. 


Test 241-25, / /20 
Subject: Subject 241-M/859-E 


Procedure: Subject given a standard Class D uniform. Subject was 
given SCP-241 and instructed to open it. 


Results: Subject dropped SCP-241 to the floor and began 
screaming. SCP-241 came to rest against [DATA EXPUNGED]. 
Subject given a mild sedative. SCP-241 contained a set of arachnid- 
based and themed recipes. The meal "Mr. Skeleton's Halloween 
Spider Snacks" was selected and prepared from SCP-241 by 
Subject 241-F. Due to Subject 241-M/859-E having severe 
arachnophobia, [DATA EXPUNGED]. Within two minutes, the 
subject experienced breathing difficulties and partial paralysis. This 
was Closely followed by the typical symptoms of anaphylaxis. 
Immediate administration of epinephrine did not prevent the Subject 
from expiring. 


Analysis: Although the images found in SCP-241 are typically 
considered pleasing or appetizing, it does not seem to have any 
particular sentience. Autopsy confirmed the presence of venom and 
neurotoxins produced by the Brazilian Wandering Spider. Upon 


SCP-2143: Singin’ in the Rain 


Item #: SCP-2143 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2143 is contained within 
an electrically insulated Large Scale Containment Cell at Site-42. 
The center of the cell is to be furnished according to Class-II| 
Humanoid Containment standards, underneath a 3-by 3-meter 
Plexiglas roof supported by 3-meter tall steel girders. Two (2) guards 
equipped with tasers are to be stationed outside SCP-2143's 
containment chamber at all times. In the event that an Omicron 
event expands beyond the containment chamber, Kolokol-2 is to be 
immediately introduced into SCP-2143's containment chamber via 
the ventilation system until SCP-2143 is sedated. Following the 
cessation of Omicron events, non-anomalous objects spawned 
should be incinerated onsite by crew following Bio-safety Level 4 
protocols. Anomalous objects that are spawned should be classified 
as SCPs or anomalous items and contained accordingly. The results 
of each Omicron event should be recorded and uploaded into the 
SCP-2143 data file daily. 


Description: SCP-2143 is a Greek male, approximately 30 years 
old, with black hair and brown eyes. Physically, SCP-2143 is non- 
anomalous in nature, but it possesses extreme proficiency with all 
musical instruments, an eidetic memory for an unknown number of 
songs, and a singing voice that personnel describe as pleasant and 
enjoyable to listen to. Once per day, SCP-2148 will perform a 
random musical piece. SCP-2143 appears to have no control over 
what music it plays, and has never been observed to repeat a piece 
on its own accord. SCP-2143 is able to take musical requests, but is 
only able to perform a piece that has already been performed, and is 
unable to play any musical piece more than twice even under 
duress. 


SCP-2143-2 is a lyre with the ability to immediately relocate to 


SCP-2143 regardless of distance. If played by anyone other than 
SCP-2143, SCP-2143-2 will fail to make a sound. When played by 
SCP-2143, SCP-2143-2 is able to transform into any musical 
instrument, regardless of size or complexity, such as keyboards, 
oboes, guitars, and trumpets. SCP-2143 remains able to vocalize 
while playing wind instruments. 


Performance of a musical piece by SCP-2148 invariably results in 
an Omicron event. During an Omicron event, an anomalous 
stratocumulus cloud (hereby referred to as SCP-2148-3) will form 
directly above SCP-2143. Although SCP-2143-3 will produce 
lightning and thunder, it will rain objects that are thematically linked 
to the music being played instead of water. Omicron events occur 
both indoors and outdoors. If indoors, SCP-2143-3 appears just 
underneath the ceiling, taking on the width and length of the room. If 
outdoors, SCP-2143-3 appears at a size and altitude typical of non- 
anomalous stratocumulus clouds. Omicron events only last as long 
as SCP-2143 is performing a song. 


Each musical piece played by SCP-2143 is linked to a single, 
specific Omicron event. SCP-2143 can view Omicron events, but is 
unable to physically interact with them. It claims that it does not 
purposefully cause these events, and usually expresses distress at 
these occurrences. 


If prevented from performing for more than one day, SCP-2143's 
health and morale will drop drastically. At the same time, personnel 
who come within a three meter radius of SCP-2143 will be afflicted 
by an as-yet unknown disease. Each day SCP-2143 is prevented 
from performing, the area of effect will double in size. Although the 
symptoms of the disease are that of septicemic plague (diarrhea, 
fever, low blood pressure, gangrene, shock, etc.), the disease is 
untreatable by antibiotics. The disease's vector is unknown. If 
SCP-2143 is allowed to sing, any afflicted persons will quickly 
recover, and the area of effect will dissipate. 


Addendum: 
Interview Log 2143-1: 


The following is an interview of SCP-2143 


shortly after the third Omicron Event observed 
during SCP-2143's incarceration. 


Date: Jan. 7, 

Interviewer: Dr. T 

[BEGIN LOG] 

Dr.T : Good morning, SCP-2143. 
SCP-2143: Call me 


Dr.T  : Please answer the following 
questions. 


SCP-2143: Sure thing, good lookin’. 


Dr.T :Do you know why your singing 
causes Omicron Events? 


SCP-2143: It's not my fault. My father said | 
needed to stop singing and get to work, but 
music is my soul! My passion! Drove the old 
bastard crazy. | don't know why, it'd probably 
help him with the ladies... 


Dr.T :SCP-2148, please answer the 
question. 


SCP-2143: I'm a bit rusty on modern music. 
Anyways, so I'm in the middle of this incredible 
riff, right, and the old goat comes in, yelling 
about how my music is distracting him and | 
need to get back to my "real" work before he 
gets mad. | tell him, get this, that he's already 
distracted by his fourth affair in as many days. 
Of course he throws a fit. Cast me down and 
dropped a curse bomb too. 


Dr. T : Whois your father? 


SCP-2143: | don't feel like talking about him 
right now. No, you know what? | do. He is a 
huge fucking prick. He's got an undeserved 
god complex and Dane Cook's sense of 
humor. He can't take a joke or hold his temper 
or libido. He just curses out everyone around 
him. 

Dr.T : When was the first time an Omicron 
event occurred? 


SCP-2143: First time | played a song here. It 
was a disaster for everyone. | was playing 
"The Meaning of Lice" for a really nice girl. 
One ballad away from tapping that and then 
it's raining lice. It was so fucking 
embarrassing! And | bet Dad was just laughing 
his ass off. Ha ha ha. He's such an asshat. 


Dr.T  : Would it be possible to communicate 
with your father? 


SCP-2143: Might as well try to talk to lightning. 
It's probably a better listener. All | want is 
someone to listen to my music. What good is 
music if nobody can enjoy it? But now | can't 
even do that! Every fucking time | sing, it rains. 
But | can't stop singing. It won't stop raining. | 
wish | was in hell. At least there, it wouldn't 
rain. 


At this point, SCP-2143 began playing 
"Regurgitated Guts" and had to be 
tranquilized. SCP-2143 was returned to 
containment. 


Addendum: Recent Omicron Events 

The following table lists the seven most recent songs performed by 
SCP-2143 and the results of each. For a full list of all performed 
songs, see Document 2143-2.

Numerous identical instances of 
Luther Vandross emerged from 
the storm. All instances appear to 
have been killed by the fall or 
being crushed by other Luther 
Vandrosses. Each instance 
possessed a copy of the musical 
album The Glow of Love. 

Several instances of SCP- 

were spawned, killing personnel. 
A large sphere of plasma 
emerged, expanding 
exponentially in the middle of the 
chamber. The guards on duty 
entered the chamber and 
tranquilized SCP-2143, causing 
the plasma to dissipate before it 
could consume the chamber. The 
guards were hospitalized for 
severe burns and given 
Foundation Badges of Merit for 
their timely actions. 

Dust composed of iron, silicon, 
sulfur, chlorine, titanium, 
scandium, and calcium emerged. 
SCP-2143's morale decreased 
sharply afterwards for several 
days. 

Switchblades were produced, all 
with blood on the blade. The 
blood from each switchblade was 
genetically identical, although not 
in the Foundation database, and 
found to be HIV-positive. 
1963-era Dam dolls appeared. 
Each Dam doll had a small crown 
on the head. 

Numerous egg custard pies were 
produced. The custard of each 
pie contained vaginal lubrication.

SCP-2144: Misconception of a Brainchild 


Item #: SCP-2144 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-21 44 is to be kept in an 
open-air enclosure at Site-37. The walls surrounding said enclosure 
are to have windows built in and a gatehouse built along the walls is 
to serve as the access point. 


An observation post is to be established along the perimeter of the 
enclosure. At all times, a guard is to be stationed in the observation 
post to watch over SCP-2144. An auxiliary group of up to three 
guards are to be put on standby, in case the assigned guard is 
unavailable for observation duty. Guards on duty are to rotate in 
shifts of two hours apiece; see Document 2144-© for observation 
duty schedule. 


If SCP-2144 is required to be transported from the enclosure, it is to 
be placed in a hermetically-sealed container with radiation shielding 
and an air pump installed. One side of the container is to be 
transparent, such that SCP-2144 may be observed by personnel. An 
electrocardiogram (ECG) and automated defibrillator are to be 
attached to SCP-2144, with the defibrillator set to activate when its 
heart rate is below 30 bpm. If defibrillation fails to increase heart 
rate, voltage may be increased. Personnel handling SCP-2144 are 
to wear Level A Hazmat suits. 


Prior to opening the container, the pre-installed air pump is to be 
activated to remove hydrogen cyanide (HCN) present in the 
container. Canisters filled with HCN are to be disposed of as per 
standard non-anomalous waste disposal protocols. 


+ View Original Special Containment Procedures 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2144 is to be 


kept in a modified Size-S animal containment cell at 
Site-37, equipped with hermetically-sealed walls, 
radiation shielding and an air pump. A surveillance 
camera is to be set up to observe SCP-2144, anda 
transparent glass window is placed to allow direct 
observation of SCP-2144. An ECG and automated 
defibrillator are to be attached to SCP-2144, with the 
defibrillator set to activate when its heart rate is below 30 
bpm. If heart rate fails to increase after defibrillation, 
voltage may be increased and research staff assigned to 
SCP-2144 are to be notified immediately. 


Once per week, a containment engineer is to maintain 
the structural integrity of the cell and repair any damages 
to it. Prior to opening the cell, all personnel handling 
SCP-2144 or the cell are to wear Level A Hazmat suits 
and the air pump is to be activated to remove HCN 
present in the cell. 


When not in the cell, SCP-2144 is to be placed ina 
hermetically-sealed container with an air pump pre- 
installed and radiation shielding. The ECG and 
automated defibrillator are to remain attached to 
SCP-2144. One side of the container is to be 
transparent, such that SCP-2144 may be observed. Prior 
to opening the container, the pre-installed air pump is to 
be activated to remove HCN present in the container. 
Canisters filled with HCN are to be disposed of as per 
standard non-anomalous waste disposal protocols. 


Description: SCP-2144 is a creature resembling a specimen of 
Felis catus (domestic cat). It stands at about 25 cm in height, and its 
head-to-tail length is about 80 cm. SCP-2144 does not possess a 
reproductive system, and there are no signs of neutering performed 
on it. Only humans are capable of interacting with SCP-2144; other 
animal species (including F. catus) are unable to detect or recognise 
SCP-2144's existence. 


SCP-2144 exhibits different anomalous properties based on it being 
in an open space or an enclosed space.! 


While SCP-2144 is in an open space, it is animate despite lacking a 
heartbeat. In addition, it also does not require nutrients or 
respiration. In this state, SCP-2144 can only be perceived via direct 
observation by a human. Its image cannot be captured on 
photographs or video, requiring direct observation by a human to 
perceive it. Similarly, sounds produced by it can only be heard 
directly by a human observer and are unable to be recorded. 
SCP-2144's mass is unable to be measured; scales regularly 
register its mass as 0.0 kg. However, personnel who had held 
SCP-2144 estimate its mass to range from 2 to 5 kg. 


In terms of behaviour, SCP-2144 is shown to be lively while in an 
open space and typically moves about whenever it can. It also tends 
to avoid approaching any doors, windows or similar openings in the 
vicinity. Thus, SCP-2144 shows a level of resistance towards 
attempts to place it in containers or cells. 


When SCP-2144 is in an enclosed space, it ceases all movement 
and remains immobile until it is removed from the space. Its 
heartbeat and respiration can only be detected while under this 
state. Notably, its heart rate usually starts at about 200 bpm and 
slowly declines over time. Estimations suggest that it takes about 48 
hours for asystole to occur. Furthermore, SCP-2144's image can be 
photographed in this state. Its mass can be recorded in this state, 
although measurements are inconsistent and range from 1.9 kg up 
to 5.2 kg. 


During this state, trace amounts of beta particles and gamma 
radiation are detected within the enclosed space. Hydrogen cyanide 
(HCN) is also spontaneously generated within the enclosed space 
via transmutation, aided by the ionising radiation generated. HCN 
samples taken record a concentration of approximately 300 mg/m3, 
which is capable of killing an average human within 10 — 60 min. 
However, SCP-2144 is resistant to the toxic effects of HCN and is 
shown to be capable of inhaling HCN. Generation of HCN ceases 
when SCP-2144 is removed from the enclosed space. 


SCP-2144 was first found in the residence of Jason Schmidt? in 
Berlin, Germany on / /2003, where said individual had died of 
cyanide poisoning. Hydrogen cyanide and gamma radiation were 
detected from within his residence. SCP-2144 was also present at 


the scene, and was initially believed to be dead. Its anomalous 
properties were revealed when it resumed motion after removal from 
the residence. Foundation agents subsequently recovered 
SCP-2144 under the guise of hazard control, and began 
containment of it. A cover story of a murder attempt on Schmidt was 
disseminated to the Berlin Police, and his residence was 
decontaminated afterwards. 


Addendum 2144-1: When initially found, it was wearing a collar with 
a note attached to it. The item is deemed non-anomalous and is 
kept in the Non-Anomalous Items Storage Sector at Site-37. Text of 
the following note has been translated from German. 


Dear Jason, 

It's been nine months, but our baby's finally here. Look at 
the fruits of our labour and know this: Every idea has its 
right to exist. Please tell what do you think of it tonight. 


Love, Mel 


Addendum 2144-2: Attempts to defibrillate SCP-2144 are noted to 
be increasingly difficult with each attempt. Thus far, higher voltages 
have been utilised successively to prevent asystole. Dr. Johann 
Wolfgang hypothesises that SCP-2144 may be adapting to electric 
shocks applied on it. 


Addendum 2144-3: As of / /2003, SCP-2144's Special 
Containment Procedures have been revised. Dr. Hu An has issued 
the following memorandum in regards to this update. 


Upon the board's review of SCP-2144's current Special 
Containment Procedures, we express concern over the 
effectiveness of its regular defibrillation. While our 
current stance is to increase voltage to prevent possible 
self-termination, there is a limit as to how far it can go on. 
There may come a point where a significantly high 
voltage will electrocute SCP-2144 or it will be forced to 
flatline. 


As such, procedures have been updated to alter 
SCP-2144's living space — to give it a little breathing 


inspection of the crate of bananas which was used for chosen dish 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. Helicopters . Local farmers were 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Back to SCP-241 


space. Outside the box, it is not inherently dangerous. 
Ideas are hardly dangerous on their own; that falls down 
to their treatment by others (re: us). And this creature is 
an idea — a flawed idea, but it exists still and we're not 
letting it go out for being incorrect in the real world. 


Do not worry about the possibility of SCP-2144 escaping. 
Based on behavioural studies of SCP-2144, it appears to 
instinctively avoid all doors and windows, perhaps 
thinking that another box is behind those doors and 
windows. It clearly does not like being locked in a box; 
after all, ideas are meant to wander about.

SCP-2145: Seven Extra Seasons 


Item #: SCP-2145 
Object Class: Keter Neutralized Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2145-1, -2, and -3 are to 
be contained in standard humanoid cells at Site 19. They frequently 
attempt to engage in self-harm, and are to be considered a 
moderate to high suicide risk; although Dr. has speculated that 
the nature of their anomaly would prevent any self-inflicted injuries 
from being fatal, this is — short of allowing a suicide attempt to 
proceed to completion — unfalsifiable. For their psychological well- 
being, they are permitted to undergo cosmetic surgery procedures at 
their own request; these procedures may not be performed any 
more frequently than once every three months. 


The cadaver of SCP-2145-4 is contained in a high-security morgue 
freezer at Site 26. Access to tissue samples requires written 
permission from two O5-level personnel. 


Personnel with level-3 clearance or higher may access the previous, c 


SCP-2145 is not currently containable; containment 
procedures will instead focus on minimizing damage. 
SCP-2145-1, -2, -3, and -4 are to be kept under 
surveillance at all times. All electronic communication to 
and from them is to be intercepted, recorded, transcribed 
via a double-blind system, and archived. No individual 
Foundation agent, operative, or employee is to be 
assigned to SCP-2145 for more than 6 consecutive days; 
the interval between two successive assignments to 
SCP-2145 must be no less than 14 days. No Foundation 
agent, operative, or employee is to come within 100 m of 
SCP-2145-1, -2, -3, and/or -4. 


Individuals who have had direct "scene"-level 


interactions with SCP-2145-1, -2, -3, and/or -4 are to be 
debriefed, and then to be administered class-A 
amnestics; individuals who are suicidal as a result of 
scene-level interactions are to be tranquilized prior to 
debriefing. 


The actors Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Michael 
Richards, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are to be kept under 
surveillance at all times. In order to prevent the 
possibility of a Pirandello-Malkovich mass consciousness 
overwriting, at no time are any of Seinfeld, Alexander, 
Richards, and/or Louis-Dreyfus to be allowed to come 
within 300 meters of SCP-2145. In the event of any of 
these individuals coming within 2000 meters of 
SCP-2145, their itineraries are to be rerouted via Kerner- 
Leeming traffic manipulation protocols. Moisseiff- 
Eldridge infrastructure sabotage protocols are to be used 
at 1500 m from SCP-2145, Phelps-Poole crowd 
manipulation protocols are to be used at 1000 m, and 
Bardo-Chapman injury protocols are to be used at 

500 m. 


Description: SCP-2145 is the collective term for three individuals, 
and the cadaver of a fourth individual, who have been anomalously 
altered to be exact physical replicas of the primary cast of the 
American situation comedy Seinfeld (1989-1998), as they appeared 
in approximately 1998. SCP-2145-1 is an exact replica of actor Jerry 
Seinfeld, SCP-2145-2 is an exact replica of actor Jason Alexander, 
SCP-2145-3 is an exact replica of actor Michael Richards, and 
SCP-2145-4 was an exact replica of actor Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The 
three living instances do not show any external signs of physical 
aging (other than those which were present on Seinfeld, Alexander, 
and Richards in 1998), and any significant physical modifications will 
gradually revert themselves at a rate proportional to the degree of 
modification. 1 


Personnel with level-3 clearance or higher may access the previous, c 


Description: SCP-2145 is the collective term for four 
entities who are exact replicas of the primary cast of the 
American situation comedy Seinfeld (1989-1998) as they 


appeared in approximately 1998, existing separately 
from the actors who portrayed them. SCP-2145-1 is an 
exact replica of actor Jerry Seinfeld (portraying a 
fictionalized version of himself), SCP-2145-2 is an exact 
replica of actor Jason Alexander (portraying "George 
Costanza"), SCP-2145-3 is an exact replica of actor 
Michael Richards (portraying "Cosmo Kramer"), and 
SCP-2145-4 is an exact replica of actor Julia Louis- 
Dreyfus (portraying "Elaine Benes"). 


These entities reside in New York City (the setting of 
Seinfeld episodes) and cause the occurrence of 
"Seinfeld-like" ("SL") events. SL events involve the 
macro-scale modification of probability affecting the 
actions of all individuals within the entities’ immediate 
vicinity (ranging from approximately 30-40 m for each of 
the entities when alone, to approximately 60 m when all 
four entities are together), leading to drastically 
increased rates of coincidence, synchronicity, and 
miscommunication. These rates are increased still 
further for individuals who interact? with the entities; such 
individuals also exhibit behavioral modifications involving 
decreased empathy, malignant narcissism, and general 
amorality. Foundation dramaturges and critical theorists 
have showns that SL events are parametrically 
consistent with the scenarios portrayed in broadcast 
episodes of Seinfeld, and posit that they are 
phenomenologically indistinguishable from "living in the 
show". Medium-level cognitive distortion has also been 
observed to occur, such that affected individuals show 
no awareness of either the fictional characters whose 
appearance SCP-2145 mimics, the television program 
which featured those characters, or the actors who 
portrayed those characters. 


Acquisition log: After the first 22 attempts at containment were 
disrupted by the unexpected range of SCP-2145's anomalous effect 
[see documents 2145-HL2 through -HM-17], the Foundation entered 
into a temporary partnership with the Global Occult Coalition, and 
another with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Unusual Incidents 


Unit; neither of these organizations was made aware of the 
Foundation's cooperation with the other. The rationale for this was 
that, by joining forces with two separate organizations which had 
conflicting intentions towards anomalies, the Foundation would be 
insulated from SCP-2145's manipulation of probability, behavior, 
and cognition. To increase the likelihood of success, Foundation 
personnel deliberately limited the extent to which they were 
available to GOC and UIU agents, such that those agents would be 
encouraged to take action without first consulting Foundation 
liaisons; similarly, information provided to GOC and UIU agents was 
deliberately incomplete, with several important details redacted, 
such that both GOC and UIU agents would be encouraged to make 
fallacious and/or incomplete conclusions regarding the exact nature 
of SCP-2145's anomaly. 


On 17 December 2005, the GOC launched Operation Flamingo, in 
which SCP-2145-1 was codenamed Hyacinth, SCP-2145-2 was 
codenamed Kepler, SCP-2145-3 was codenamed Gooseberry, and 
SCP-2145-4 was codenamed Needlework. This was in direct conflict 
with the UIU's Operation Gooseberry (launched the same day), in 
which SCP-2145-1 was codenamed Needlework, SCP-2145-2 was 
codenamed Flamingo, SCP-2145-3 was codenamed Hyacinth, and 
SCP-2145-4 was codenamed Kepler.4 


The UIU had concluded (correctly) that the number of individuals 
SCP-2145 could simultaneously affect was limited. The UIU's 
Operation Gooseberry was thus intended to create civil unrest via 
crowd-manipulation protocols, under the assumption that this would 
overload and shut down SCP-2145's anomaly; this would thereby 
allow the four members of SCP-2145 to be forcibly separated from 
each other and arrested, under the pretext of being taken into 
protective custody. The GOC, however, had concluded (also 
correctly) that only one member of SCP-2145 was truly anomalous, 
and that the other three were either accomplices or (as was later 
found to be the case) unwilling victims who had been anomalously 
modified; since direct action against that entity was blocked by its 
anomalous effect, the GOC's Operation Flamingo was intended to 
first psychologically disrupt the anomalous "leader" of SCP-2145 by 
confronting it with the violent death of one of its companions. Both 
operations were to be conducted via double-blind methodology, to 


circumvent inhibition via SCP-2145's anomaly. 


On 18 December 2005, Operation Gooseberry and Operation 
Flamingo were simultaneously implemented. In the midst of the civil 
unrest that resulted, a series of miscommunications and conflicts 
with UIU operatives led GOC operatives to conclude that the leader 
of SCP-2145 was most likely to be SCP-2145-3, followed by -1, and 
then -2. SCP-2145-4 was therefore considered the most likely to be 
a non-anomalous follower, and was selected for assassination; a 
GOC sniper, acting from a 28th-story office window at the corner of 
[REDACTED] and [REDACTED], killed SCP-2145-4 in full view of its 
three companions. 


SCP-2145-1, -2, and -3 immediately collapsed; they were taken into 
custody by UIU agents, and subsequently remanded into 
Foundation custody. The cadaver of SCP-2145-4 was also taken 
into custody; interviews with -1, -2, and -3 indicate that, behavioral 
and dramaturgical analysis to the contrary, -4 was in fact their 
leader. Post-mortem analysis has revealed several macro- and 
microstructural anomalies in SCP-2145-4's brain and nervous 
system; however, the extent to which these caused SCP-2145-4's 
anomalous properties, rather than being caused by them, is 
speculative at best, especially in light of the assassination damage.

SCP-2146: The Space Whale 


Item #: SCP-2146 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2146 is presently 
commonly known as DDUSAT-12, and is on record as a defunct 
communications satellite owned by Defense Design United, a 
holding of Standard Communications Production, a Foundation front 
company.! Due to its size and location, recovery or containment is 
presently thought infeasible.2 MTF-Mu-19 (‘the Star-Struck') have 
been covertly inserted into various astronomical societies in order to 
identify any potential breaches of the anomaly. Individuals who 
discover SCP-2146 are to be either administered Class-B amnestics 
or discredited, as is appropriate for the situation. 


The transmissions known as SCP-2146-1 are presently impossible 
to suppress3; however, as the content of said transmissions is 
typically profoundly innocuous, it is considered a low-level threat. 
The transmissions are to be monitored, and these procedures may 
be modified if the transmissions ever begin to exhibit anomalous or 
otherwise dangerous properties or content. Complaints to 
government organizations responsible for telecommunications 
regulation are to be monitored. The present cover story regarding 
SCP-2146-1 is that it is a pirate radio station broadcast by an avant- 
garde art movement. 


Description: SCP-2146 is the frozen corpse of an adult specimen of 
Balaena mysticetus (the Bowhead Whale), which is presently in 
Medium Earth Orbit (MEO). Its orbital path is circular with an 
inclination of 146 degrees (retrograde), and its orbital period is 19.6 
hours. 


The object is approximately 17.5 meters in length, and while its 
gender is presently unknown, it is (due to its size) statistically more 
likely to be a female instance of the species. Its estimated weight is 


approximately 30 tons, one-third that of a healthy specimen of its 
species, due to desiccation. In addition, the object has suffered 
significant corrosion from micro-impacts, and is deeply cracked in a 
manner consistent with limited heat exchanges and radiation 
exposure typical in a vacuum environment. 


Once every Synodic Lunar month (29.5 days), SCP-2146 begins 
broadcasting radio signals, presently designated SCP-2146-1. 
These broadcasts range in duration from 2.5 to 18 minutes. It is 
presently unknown how SCP-2146 transmits these broadcasts; 
telescopic viewing has not shown any sign of radio-capable 
equipment on SCP-2146. 


These broadcasts vary widely in both content and format: some 
appear to be documentaries, others appear to be science fiction 
dramas (often of the space opera variety), others seem to be 
children's shows, and others are songs or poems. These broadcasts 
only feature an audio track, and in every case, features an entity 
presently referred to as SCP-2146-2, who narrates, acts in, or sings 
the content of SCP-2146-1. No other voices have yet been heard in 
SCP-2146-1 transmissions. 


The SCP-2146-1 transmissions often feature unusual and 
occasionally disturbing content; however, SCP-2146-2 is always 
cheerful to the point of jocularity in the broadcasts. Its voice seems 
to be that of a middle-aged, deep-voiced man, and has been noted 
to speak in a number of languages, including English, French, 
Norwegian, Russian, and Inuktitut. 


SCP-2146-1 transmissions contain one other unifying feature: in 
every case, the contents deal with a 'space whale,’ a space-based 
Cetacean; however, the features, motivations and characterization 
of this creature changes with each broadcast. 


No information as to how SCP-2146 came to be located in Earth 
orbit has yet come to light. No launches involving Bowhead Whales, 
or of a size capable of transporting an intact Bowhead Whale, are 
presently known to the Foundation. 


Discovery: SCP-2146 was discovered in 19 , after a number of 
civilian complaints in several developed nations in the Northern 


Hemisphere were linked by Foundation Analytical personnel. These 
complaints were generally directed towards government offices that 
regulated telecommunications, and always involved bizarre and 
disturbing radio show content. The signal, later designated 
SCP-2146-1, was used to triangulate the location of its source, 
SCP-2146. Fortunately, developing telecommunications, and a 
subsequent increase in both radio traffic and artificial orbital bodies 
have rendered SCP-2146 and its transmissions much more difficult 
to isolate. See above for the present containment procedures. 


A list of notable SCP-2146-1 broadcasts 


Broadcast Date: / /19 

Duration: 2 minutes and 56 seconds 

Language: English 

Content: A short jingle (SCP-2146-2 singing, apparently 
accompanied by guitar), apparently for a children's show 
featuring Bay-Bo the Space Whale. Notable lyrics 
include: 'He loves you so much, he's gonna eat your 
whole world up/ You get to learn all about science in 
Bay-Bo's guts!’ and ‘Swims through space, the size of a 
star/ he's the friendliest, nicest cosmic monster!’ 


Broadcast Date: / /19 

Duration: 8 minutes and 14 seconds 

Language: French 

Content: A short political manifesto laying out the rights 
of 'Exocetaceans,' and making a number of derogatory 
claims regarding ‘oppressive higher-dimensional 
harpoonists.' Notable content includes the Exocetaceans 
‘inalienable right to devour lesser races.’ 


Broadcast Date: / /20 

Duration: 16 minutes and 3 seconds 

Language: English 

Content: A melodramatic science-fiction production of 
the 'Space Opera’ variety, including orchestral scoring 
(not a match for any known piece). Regards the quest of 
the 'Brave Space Whale Owaba' to defeat the evil empire 
and rescue 'Space Whale Princess Bawooha.' Notable in 
that the evil empire seems to consist of beings in 


spacecraft (possibly humanoid). 


Broadcast Date: / /20 

Duration: 12 minutes and 51 seconds 

Language: Norwegian 

Content: A documentary regarding the feeding and 
mating practices of Balaena stellaris, the Space Whale. 
Notable in that the species is, by its binomial 
nomenclature, identified as a Right Whale, like 
SCP-2146 (as a Bowhead Whale). Also, the reproduction 
of a Balaena stellaris apparently requires the ‘utter 
destruction of a primitive civilization.’ The reason behind 
this reproductive necessity is not made clear. 


Broadcast Date: / /20 

Duration: 6 minutes and 47 seconds 

Language: Russian 

Content: A short science fiction tale about a crew of 
(apparently human) biologists in a spacecraft, attempting 
to locate a legendary creature (the space whale). Most of 
the story consists of the scientists speculating on the 
nature of the space whale in a pseudoscientific and 
mildly religious manner. The story ends with the crew 
finding the space whale and, in awe, pledging to worship 
it. 


Broadcast Date: / /20 

Duration: 8 minutes and 22 seconds 

Language: English 

Content: An episode of the children's show 'Bay-Bo the 
Space Whale,’ which was featured in an earlier 
broadcast of SCP-2146-1 as a jingle. Involves a number 
of children in a spacecraft speaking through a 
‘communicator’ with the nearby Bay-Bo, a star-sized 
cetacean. The episode consists of a simplified 
explanation of gravity, appropriate for 8- to 10-year-old 
children. The episode ends with the spacecraft crashing 
into Bay-Bo, and the narrator stating, 'And the children all 
died. They should have paid more attention to the 
lesson, | guess!’ 


SCP-242: Self "Cleaning" Pool 


Item #: SCP-242 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-242 is kept at a home 
located in , NM procured by the Foundation on // .The 
home is unremarkable and is inhabited by Dr. and Dr. 

who pose as a married couple with no children. The backyard is 
defined along its perimeter with a cinder block wall approximately 
2 m high in accordance with the homes in the general vicinity. The 
pool is monitored at all times by a single Level 1 guard who also 
covers as the couple's live-in cook (human monitoring was added 
after Incident 242-1). Swimming or wading in the pool is strongly 
discouraged and any access to the pool by anyone other than Class 
D personnel for experimental reasons is forbidden. 


Description: The original owner of the home where SCP-242 is 
located was an out of state landlord who had problems keeping the 
place rented. After retiring, he moved there, but disappeared after 
only 3 days. 


SCP-242 is a swimming pool approximately 4.5 m wide by 9 m long 
with a depth ranging from 1 m deep on both ends to 1.5 m deep in 

the center and a total volume of approximately 53,000 liters. It has a 
dual waterfall feature, an in-pool vacuum unit and stairs on one end. 


Any substance when placed into the pool will eventually be 
transmuted into sterile water which will remain sterile even after 
being removed from SCP-242 and introduced to a non-sterile 
environment. A sample taken from SCP-242 and poured into a 
container of water that had been tinted with red food coloring did not 
mix, but rather stayed together as a non-miscible bubble. 
Subsequent examination of samples shows them to be nothing more 
than pure, sterile water. 


Footnotes 

1. This information was falsified and entered into the UN Register of 
Objects Launched into Space by embedded agents. It is believed 
such a registration will discourage close scrutiny. 

2. While the Foundation possesses assets capable of reaching the 
object and subsequently constructing a containment structure or 
destabilizing its orbit, any such attempt would be too difficult to 
conceal. 

3. The signal has been shown to switch frequencies in early 
attempts to jam the signal; its method of detecting the jamming is 
presently unknown. Full jamming of the range of frequencies 
SCP-2146-1 broadcasts on would have disastrous effects on civilian 
telecommunications.

SCP-2147: Neverglades 


Item #: SCP-2147 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2147's front porch is to be 
kept clear of plant matter at all times, as not to arouse suspicion. 
SCP-2147 has been removed from all websites featuring it, either 
through use of digital image manipulation or takedown of images on 
the basis of copyright claims. Any non-Foundation image of 
SCP-2147- particularly ones found on urban exploration websites- 
are to be taken down as soon as possible. 


Sprinklers and misters have been fitted in the area around 
SCP-2147, which will regularly administer Class-F Amnestics! to 
any individual passing by the property on which SCP-21 47 is 
located. 


With the exception of plumbing, all utilities have been disconnected 
from SCP-2147-B. No flames are to be lit within the basement of this 
structure, due to a buildup of flammable gas. This gas is to be 
vented weekly to prevent toxic buildup in the basement. 


Description: SCP-2147 is what is believed to be a section of the 
Florida Everglades located simultaneously at coordinates 
[REDACTED] and in a three-story suburban house in [REDACTED], 
Ohio, United States. The section of the Everglades is designated 
SCP-2147-A and the house is designated SCP-2147-B. 


SCP-2147-A conforms to the spatial structure and boundaries of 
SCP-2147-B's interior, and is present in all areas and structures of 
the house, including plumbing, heating ducts, crawlspaces and gas 
lines@. This has led to several irregularities, including: 


¢ A pit of quicksand located on the second story, which has no 
outlet, despite being located above the first-floor bathroom; 


GPS sensors dropped into the quicksand indicate the 
termination point is somewhere in the Everglades. 
¢ Water faucets often expel swamp water drawn from an 
unknown source when turned on, as well as items such as 
plants of the Lemnoideae genus (Duckweed), frog spawn, and 
dragonfly nymphs, despite being connected to the city of 
[REDACTED]'s municipal water supply. In addition, faucets 
will turn on at random, despite having faucet valves disabled. 
The attic of the house is inaccessible, due to several square 
meters of silt, dirt and oraganics- an estimated 300 tonnes of 
matter- filling the space, including the stairs leading into the 
attic. Despite this, the ceiling of the second floor bears the 
weight of the attic with no structural issues. Currently, 
attempts are being made to enter the attic from the roof of 
SCP-2147-B. 
¢ What is presumed to be the living room or parlor of the house 
is filled entirely with swamp water of an unknown depth. 
Furniture has been found in this area of the house by 
exploratory divers. Furthermore, persistent audio phenomena 
has been heard both above and below water, in the form of an 
unknown folk song or songs. 
¢ With the exception of the living room, basement and 
bathrooms, no furniture or appliances were present in the 
house upon discovery. 


While fauna have escaped SCP-2147-B into the city of 
[REDACTED], flora from SCP-2147-A shows the inability to grow 
past the bottom step of the front porch, with stems from the plants 
anomalously terminating at this point. Physical manipulation of the 
plants show that the terminated points still exist, but are located in 
another area. 


SCP-2147 was originally discovered by the Unusual Incidents Unit 
Cincinnati Division, who were investigating repeated reports of 
alligators in the sewers of [REDACTED]. It was discovered this was 
due to an alligator living within SCP-2147 laying eggs in the toilet, 
with hatchlings occasionally crawling down the drain and living in the 
sewers. Due to the age of several of the captured alligators, it is 
estimated that SCP-2147 has existed in some form for at least ten 
years. 


Addendum: Interview With UIU Agent MacAllister: 


Agent Williams: Special Agent MacAllister, I'm Agent 
Williams, Foundation Liaison to the Unusual Incidents 
Unit. Could you please state your name for the record? 


Agent MacaAllister: (sighs) Special Agent Quinn 
MacAllister, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Unusual 
Incidents Unit 25. 


Agent Williams: When did you first become aware of 
the anomaly? 


MacAllister: It was supposed to be a simple 
investigation, honestly. We get reports of gators in 
sewers all the time in the UIU, and thanks to some law or 
another, we have to investigate every single one. 


At first, we just assumed that it was an individual flushing 
baby gators into the sewer, where they grew up... but 
the problem was that this call was the tenth one in three 
months. The [REDACTED] County SCP- sorry, SPCA 
had no idea where they were coming from. 


Most of the younger ones were found in the area of 

Wood Street- not a pleasant place. Everywhere there is 
broken and empty and run-down. So, we looked around 
there, and eventually, my partner... he started vomiting. 


Williams: Why? 


MacAllister: Agent Christman suffers from 
hypersensitivity, especially when it comes to smells. 
That's what tipped us off to the house; it smelled like 
rotting swamp, in the middle of Ohio. He couldn't stand 
the smell, so | went in, and... a gator nearly bit off my 
leg. | shot it, saw the inside of the house looked like it 
was the set of Creature from the Black Lagoon, and then 
| called you. 


Williams: Did you notice anything unusual about the 


house, from what you could see from the doorway? 


MacAllister: Other than the fact that Florida had come to 
visit? Well... right before | went in, | noticed a set of 
boots by the front door, just in the inside of it. They 
looked like... boots you would wear for hunting. Brand 
new, too. When | came back after checking on Agent 
Christman, they were gone. 


Addendum: Incident 2147-01: On / /20 , Agent Lowder, an 
exploratory diver, vanished whilst investigating the living room of 
SCP-2147-B. Prior to loss of communication, Agent Lowder reported 
that a hole had appeared in the water, and that he was going to 
investigate it; after failing to surface for another twenty minutes, an 
emergency dive was conducted, but Agent Lowder was unable to be 
located. 


GPS tracking on his diving apparatus showed that he had somehow 
traveled to the Everglades, at coordinates [REDACTED]. A 
Foundation team was dispatched to the area, and found several 
pieces of furniture and home appliances within a remote area of the 
Everglades, seemingly suspended in midair by an unknown force, 
including several beds, a refrigerator, stove, oven, and several 
pieces of furniture dating from the mid 1990s. Notably absent were 
any bathroom fixtures. The elevation and location of each piece of 
furniture approximately matched the elevation and location they 
would be in if they were present in SCP-2147-B. Agent Lowder was 
not recovered from the area, and is presumed to be KIA. 


Several task force members reported an audio anomaly in the area, 
which was found to be an LP recording of the Kingston Trio's String 
Along album, playing on a record player located in what was 
believed to be the living room; several individuals on-site at 
SCP-2147-B confirmed this to be the audio anomaly that was being 
heard in the living room. 


The record and player were retrieved, and were believed to be non- 
anomalous upon recovery; however, analysis showed major 
alterations to the lyrical content of the song Everglades, as are 
recorded below: 


Now, the family went in, they didn't come back out. 
They all died in there and there ain't no doubt. 
It's an eye for an eye so the debt is paid. 

They won't last long in the Neverglades. 

Only | can live in the Neverglades. 

Where | can hide and never be found 

And have no fear of the baying hounds. 

But you better keep moving and don't stand still. 
If the skeeters don't get you then the gators will. 
Run like a dog through the Neverglades. 

Skip like a frog through the slimy fog. 

Run through the trees from the Neverlys.

SCP-2148: Mr. Stripes 


Item #: SCP-2148 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2148 is to be held within a 
standard humanoid containment chamber within Hall of Site- . 
SCP-2148-1 is to remain in place at all times. Class C amnestics are 
to be administered to SCP-2148 if its anomalous properties 
manifest. 


Description: SCP-2148 is a male humanoid of Indian descent. The 
words "Mr. Stripes, from Little Misters ® by Dr. Wondertainment" are 
tattooed upon SCP-2148's right bicep. SCP-2148-1 is a white 
blindfold immune to the effects of SCP-2148 with the brand name 
"Doctor's Orders" sewn into it, worn by SCP-2148 since discovery. 


The anomalous properties of SCP-2148 do not manifest unless it is 
able to visually commit something other than SCP-2148-1 or itself to 
memory. When it is able to dedicate a person or object to memory 
via visual stimuli, all current physical and digital information 
concerning said person or object is immediately obscured via black 
bars. No alterations occur to media created after this event unless 
SCP-2148 observes the person or object in question a second time. 
Class C amnestics have proven capable of reversing this process if 
applied within three hours of exposure. 


SCP-2148 was discovered outside Site- by Dr. , and was the 
first anomaly associated with the "Little Mister" series encountered 
by the Foundation. 


Foreword: The following transcript was recreated using 
the recorded audio due to the alterations to the original 
transcript, detected 07/03/1995. 


<Begin Log> 


SCP-2148: Is Mr. Lie here yet? 
Dr. : Excuse me? 


SCP-2148: Just, uh, curious. Y'know, wondering if | 
could see my brother again. Well, y'know, figuratively 
speaking. Never actually seen him before. But he said 
he'd be here right after me, and I've been here for a bit 
and | haven't seen him yet. Figuratively. 


Dr. : No, he's not here yet. So there are more Little 
Misters? 


SCP-2148: Oh, yeah. Twenty in total, counting myself. 
The numbers don't mean anything, but | was the first 
Little Mister that Doctor Wondertainment made. Mr. Lie 
told me that. Then he told me we were collector's items, 
which made enough sense. 


Dr. : Did you see them often? 


SCP-2148: Like, literally? | saw them each once. Well, 
except for Redd. Had to see him twice. Kinda makes me 
wish | didn't have photographic memory, to be perfectly 
honest. 


Dr. : You said you haven't seen Mr. Lie? 


SCP-2148: Nope. Er, yes | said that. [Pauses] | have not 
seen him. He told me he was supposed to be last for 
some reason, | guess? Never really figured out why, but 
that wasn't really my place, y'know? | was just supposed 
to follow him around and look at stuff. 


Dr. : And where did the two of you go? What did you 
look at? 


SCP-2148: Oh, y'know, stuff. Took a lot of trips into 
government buildings, or at least that's what everybody 
else was saying. | guess | wouldn't right know, y'know? 
Always had Mr. Lie to show me the way, though. He had 
a lot of friends, Mr. Lie, and he always knew right what to 


say to get us where we needed to be. Never actually got 
to see him, though. The Doctor gave me this note saying 
| shouldn't look at Lie yet, but then the note had all these 
black lines on it. So that was weird. 


Dr. : And do you have any idea where Mr. Lie is 
currently? 


SCP-2148: Nope! Should be here soon, though. Can't 
wait to see him. 


<End Log> 


Addendum 1: Within two weeks of the initial containment of 
SCP-2148, both SCP-905 and SCP-920 arrived at Site- through 
unknown means. A conference was held between the current Site 
Director and O5-4 to discuss the repeated information breach. Site 
Director requested all future anomalies associated with the 
"Little Mister" series to be contained within Hall , which was 
approved by 05-4. SCP-2148 was then relocated to its new 
containment cell within Hall without issue. 


Addendum 2: On 05/12/1995 an anomaly (tentatively designated 
SCP-2148-2) within Site- security footage was discovered, 
beginning with the initial recovery of SCP-2148 and lasting roughly 
three weeks. SCP-2148-2 manifested as a black bar obscuring Dr. 

and Site Director at intermittent intervals on all security 
footage. 


When questioned about this, both personnel cited two distinct and 
equally clear memories during the times SCP-2148-2 followed them. 
Dr. cited he was conducting testing with an unrelated anomaly, 
and Site Director claimed to either be doing paperwork or in 
one case communicating with O5-4. Both claims have been 
corroborated by other personnel, including O5-4, as well as 
surveillance footage. 


SCP-2148-2 manifestation ended shortly after an interview between 
SCP-2148 and Dr. while he was obscured by SCP-2148-2. Dr. 
exited Site- shortly after, exiting camera view without incident. 


When questioned about this, SCP-2148 claimed to have no 
knowledge of how this could have occurred. A search of its cell 
revealed one previously unaccounted for photograph affected by the 
anomalous properties of SCP-2148. 


Addendum 3: While originally thought to not possess a document of 
the Little Mister series, when questioned SCP-2148 unrolled 
SCP-2148-1 to reveal an equivalent printed on the obverse side. 


Wow! You've just found yourself your very own Little 
Mister, a limited edition collection from Dr. 
Wondertainment! 


Find them all and become Mr. Collector!! 


01. Mr. Chameleon 

02. Mr. Headless

The length of time required for the transmutation to complete is 
dependent on the nature of the substance placed into SCP-242. 
Ordinary river water sampled from , NM was completely 
sterilized in 7 minutes. Stagnant pond water taken from ,NMwas 
sterilized in 18 minutes. 50,000 liters of coal tar was converted over 
the course of 12 days. 


While the pool contains nothing but sterile water, there is no 
apparent action of any of the features of the pool. Once a non-water 
substance is placed into the pool, the water jets and waterfall will 
come on even if disconnected from any power source. The pool 
vacuum, if attached, will also activate and drive around the bottom of 
the pool even through extremely viscous liquids. There is no cycling 
of water into or out of the filtration system. Pipes leading to the 
filtration system have been completely removed and shown to be 
empty and dry while pool contents were being sterilized.

Incident 242-1: On / /_ , during atime when the home 
was vacant but being monitored by a hidden video 
camera, a man and woman, apparenily in their early 20's 
scaled the rear wall and gained access to SCP-242. 
They proceeded to undress, and go swimming along with 
two vinyl inflatable rafts acquired from the shed in the 
backyard. After the water jets came on, the female was 
startled and indicated she wanted to leave. The male 
claimed that it was just the automatic timer coming on to 
clean the pool, and "there was nothing to worry about". 
The couple continued to swim and engaged in intimate 
activities. 


SCP-2149: A Grinder of Metal 


Item #: SCP-2149 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2149 is to be stored ina 
small, environmentally self-contained chamber which has been fitted 
with internal radiation shielding sufficient to contain all naturally- 
occurring radioisotopes. This chamber will also be equipped with 
internal Geiger counters and air-quality sensors, as well as audio/ 
video surveillance. 


SCP-2149 is to be securely attached to a hardened steel support 
frame of sufficient height to allow a similarly hardened portable 
collection bin of at least two cubic meter capacity to be positioned 
under the output opening of SCP-2149. No personnel may enter 
SCP-2149's containment chamber during a production event. After a 
production event, personnel are to enter the containment chamber 
and remove all materials produced by SCP-2149. All materials 
produced are to be sorted by type and disposed of or sanitized and 
placed in storage, as appropriate. 


All standard safety protocols for handling and cleaning radioactive 
material and waste must be observed by all personnel assigned to 
SCP-2149. A safety cap has been placed over the hopper opening 
of SCP-2149 to prevent accidental introduction of materials or body 
parts into SCP-2149. 


Description: SCP-2149 is a Universal Model 1 meat grinder/ 
chopper. A cylinder of unknown material, which is superficially 
similar to layered sheets of carbon nanotubes, has been fused by 
unknown means to the body of the grinder and replaced the hand 
crank. The grinding auger continually rotates and no means to stop 
or prevent the rotation of SCP-2149's auger has yet been found. 
The auger has been observed to rotate faster when producing 
lighter metals and slower when producing heavier metals. During a 


production event, no material should be placed in the hopper 
opening. SCP-2149 exhibits low-grade radioactivity due to 
cumulatively absorbed radiation. 


An attachment for filling sausage casings has been fused over the 
output portion of SCP-2149. This attachment is composed of the 
same material as the drive cylinder. Based on wear patterns and 
radiocarbon dating of surface samples, the item was manufactured 
in the early 1920s. The modifications have not been accurately 
dated. The metal components of SCP-2149 are in good condition for 
their age and show minimal corrosion. 


Daily at 0000 UTC, SCP-2149 will begin a production event. During 
a production event, metal will begin issuing from the opening of 
SCP-2149. This metal is 97%-99.99% pure elemental metal. 
Material introduced to the input hopper during a production event will 
be integrated into the produced metal, even if the auger could not 
normally break down the material introduced. This integration is 
simple combination, rather than alloying, much like grinding two 
different kinds of meat. Research is ongoing as to the mechanism 
that allows the iron auger to break down otherwise harder and 
stronger materials in addition to the mechanism that prevents 
introduced material from combining with the expelled metal. Metals 
expressed by the object are produced in a plasma state, though they 
quickly cool and solidify. 


Production events will continue for a number of minutes equal to the 
atomic weight of the metal being produced. SCP-2149 has been 
observed to only produce metals which can exist in a stable form. 
Metalloids, nonmetals, halogens, noble gasses and elements with 
no stable isotopes have not been recorded as having been 
produced by SCP-2149 to date. 


No pattern has yet been determined as to which metal SCP-2149 
will produce. However, SCP-2149 seems to produce Iron, Copper, 
Zinc, Gold and Lead at statistically higher rates than other metals.2 
Due to the radioactivity of the item, all metals produced also exhibit 
an elevated level of radioactivity. 


“Incident Alpha-2149-29** 


Incident Alpha-2149-29 

On / /19 at 1900 local time (0000 UTC), 
SCP-2149 began a production event. Level 2 
Research Assistant Allen was assigned as 
supervisor to D-11279 and D-2476, who were 
assigned to collection duty. D-11279 had 
positioned the collection hopper under the 
opening of SCP-2149 while D-2476 waited 
nearby with a portable sprayer filled with water 
to aid in the cooling of emitted metals. 
SCP-2149 was known to be radioactive at this 
time but the level of radioactivity was 
measured to be within safe exposure levels. 
Both D-Class personnel were equipped with 
personal dosimeters and briefed on their use 
prior to the incident. This was in accordance 
with containment procedures as written at the 
time. Timeline of events follows. 


1900-1906 Local: D-11279 and D-2476 
engage in trivial chatter. Transcript has been 
omitted for brevity and irrelevance. 


1907 Local: SCP-2149 had produced enough 
material to reach the bottom of the collection 
bin. D-2476 began spraying the heated 
material. D-11279 was leaning on the 
collection bin with his back to D-2476. This 
was in violation of safety protocols, as neither 
individual was able to see the other's 
dosimeter. RA Allen did not call out this 
violation of protocol. 


2003 Local: D-11279 had begun grimacing 
and rubbing his abdomen, suggesting stomach 
upset or pain. D-2476 was partially obscured 
by steam. 

D-11279: Ugh, man, startin’ to regret that 
chilimac for lunch. 

D-2476: Heh. Y'all'll learn what to stay away 


from in the chow hall when y'all been here long 
as | have. [audible belch] Ugh, damn, my lunch 
ain't sittin' too good, neither. Wonder if they got 
a batch of bad meat? 


2016 Local: D-11279 covered his mouth and 
clutched at his abdomen. He was visibly pale. 
D-2476 stopped spraying the metal emerging 
from SCP-2149 and moved to check on 
D-11279. He was also visibly pale and 
sweating. D-2476 tapped D-11279's shoulder. 
D-2476: Yo, man, you okay? You— 

D-2476 looked up at the camera, waving his 
arms. He was clearly in pain. 

D-2476: Yo! Hey! Hey, man! Can we get a 
break in here or somethin’? My boy here looks 
like he's about to hurl, man! | ain't feelin’ too 
good neither! Come on, man! 


2019 Local: D-2476 continued his attempts to 
gain the attention of RA Allen. His language 
quickly descended to vicious invective and 
obscenities. During this time, D-11279 had 
begun to vomit profusely. He was curled on his 
side, both arms wrapped around his abdomen. 
His expression and posture clearly 
demonstrated severe abdominal pain. D-2476 
was bent at the waist, his hands braced on his 
knees. He appeared to be trying to keep from 
vomiting. 

RA Allen: All personnel must remain within the 
containment chamber while a production event 
is active. Please refrain from extraneous 
activity and perform the tasks assigned to you 
until the production event has ended. 

D-2476 looked into the camera again. His 
facial expression appeared to be a mixture of 
rage and pain. His mouth moved as if 
speaking or shouting, but remaining audio was 
missing. Later testimony of RA Allen indicated 


he shut off the audio feed due to the 
increasingly hostile tone of D-2476's dialogue. 


2022-2248 Local: Remainder of video footage 
showed both D-11279 and D-2476 
succumbing to what is later identified as 
severe radiation sickness. D-2476 was noted 
for positioning D-11279 in such a way that he 
did not aspirate his vomit before finally laying 
himself in a similar position to wait for the end 
of the production event. 

2258 Local: Production event ended. 


As a result of this incident, it was discovered 
that SCP-2149 is able to produce radioactive 
metals in addition to more mundane metals. 
During Incident Alpha-2149-29, SCP-2149 
produced 1.87 cubic meters of 98.62% pure 
Uranium-238. 


Subsequent investigation of the incident 
revealed that RA Allen had not been watching 
the video monitors nor monitoring the 
personnel under his supervision. His negligent 
behaviour resulted in the deaths of both D- 
Class personnel involved in this incident and 
the unnecessary exposure of five others to 
dangerous levels of radiation as well as the 
irradiation of a large portion of Storage Wing 
AA23. In light of his actions, RA Allen was 
treated with Class-A amnestics and dismissed 
from the Foundation with no identity 
restoration provided. 


For his efforts in caring for and attempting to 
aid his fellow D-Class, D-2476, one 

was posthumously restored to full citizenship 
status of the and his next of kin 
provided with a standard survivor's benefit 
appropriate to a level 1 employee.

« SCP-2148 | SCP-2149 | SCP-2150 » 


SCP-2150: A Breach of Command 


Item #: SCP-2150 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Information related to 
SCP-2150 is to be blocked from all internet service providers. 
Additionally, other forms of media related to SCP-2150 (including 
literature, images, and word of mouth, but excluding this document) 
are to be withheld from personnel. A Level 4 security clearance is 
required to approve testing related to SCP-2150. 


In the event that personnel become an instance of SCP-2150-1, 
they are to administered Class-F amnestics over a period of 4 to 5 
days, in combination with shock therapy. Personnel attempting to 
detain an instance of SCP-2150-1 are to wear soundproof earmuffs 
to prevent accidental exposure through word of mouth. 


In the case of a Theta-10 event, subjects are to be closely monitored 
for severe changes in behavior. If behavior among subjects is 
deemed unsafe, the subjects are to be detained and exposed to 
SCP-2150 in order to counter the effects of the Theta-10 event. If 
repeated Theta-10 events yield undesirable results, testing is to be 
terminated. Subjects are to be administered Class-F amnestics over 
a period of 4 to 5 days, in combination with shock therapy. 


In the event of various personnel in Site- being exposed to 
SCP-2150, unaffected personnel are to immediately report to the 
Site Director. 


Description: SCP-2150 is best understood as a memetic anomaly 
associated with the name Mark . SCP-2150 is depicted as 
various individuals, the most common resembling a Caucasian male 
with facial hair. Information pertaining to SCP-2150 will yield varied 
results, such as the individual's occupation, biological history, 
criminal records, etc. No two personnel researching SCP-2150 will 


discover the same information, despite similar search results 
between personnel. Because of this, accurate information related to 
Mark is impossible to obtain. 


Any subject who learns the full name of SCP-2150 will identify 
themselves as Mark . (referred to as SCP-2150-1) Any 
personal information the subject discovers related to SCP-2150 will 
be retained as information related to themselves. Instances of 
SCP-2150-1 state that they have no memories, except for 
information related to SCP-2150. 


If two instances of SCP-2150-1 meet, both instances will exchange 
information related to SCP-2150. Any new information gained from 
One instance will be retained as information related to the other 
instance. If two pieces of conflicting information meet, both 
instances will settle on an agreement as to which piece of 
information is correct. 


Additional instances of SCP-2150-1 exchanging information results 
in collective knowledge believed to be true among instances. If a 
minority of instances hold conflicting information, it will result ina 
Theta-10 event. During a Theta-10 event, the majority of 
SCP-2150-1 instances will attempt to discredit the minority. 
Examples of this have included: 


¢ Accusing the minority of crimes in an attempt to convict them. 
(Observed in 45% of cases) 

¢ Framing the minority in a scandal, in an attempt to deter them 
from their occupation. (Observed in 22% of cases) 

* Spreading misinformation related to the minority through word 
of mouth, literature and other forms of media. (Observed in 
65% of cases) 

¢ Persuading the minority to believe the majority's viewpoint, 
resulting in the death of the minority. (Observed in one case. 
Refer to Addendum 2150-A-12) 


Any attempt to discredit instances of SCP-2150-1 results in said 
misinformation becoming collective knowledge among all instances. 
Over time, multiple disputes among instances will severely alter any 
original information gained from their initial exposure. Reintroduction 
of information to SCP-2150 will overwrite any previous information 


given from other instances of SCP-2150-1. 


Addendum 2150-A-14: On // ,aD-Class personnel (D-93731) 
was identified as an instance of SCP-2150-1, despite not being 
exposed to SCP-2150 directly (through testing) or indirectly (through 
other instances or forms of media). D-93731 and other infected 
personnel were detained and administered amnestics before being 
returned back to Site- . However, repeated amnestic treatment 
failed to rid D-93731 of the SCP-2150 contamination. 


On // _ , D-93731 was reported missing from Site- . Records 
pertaining to D-93731's existence in Site- were not found. A Junior 
Researcher recovering records of D-Class personnel was exposed 
to SCP-2150 on the roster, resulting in accidental exposure. The 
Researcher was detained and is currently being returned to Site- . 
The listed roster was deleted, and a new roster was formed based 
on the current number of D-Class in Site- 


To date, no other personnel have been identified as an instance 
through this method. 


Addendum 2150-C-10: INFORMATION RESTRICTED TO LEVEL 
4 PERSONNEL OR ABOVE 


+ INPUT CREDENTIALS 


Note that the following information will not cause 
exposure to SCP-2150. 


The submission of this document has caused 
guite the controversy among personnel at Site- 

. Some are wondering how to obtain more 
information on SCP-2150. Others inquire why 
reading this document doesn't turn you into an 
instance of SCP-2150-1. The exact nature of 
SCP-2150 is hard to determine at present. At 
the expense of possible exposure, | have been 
able to discover more information about this 
man. 


It is more than a name. It is a phenomenon. 


Censoring the name associated with 
SCP-2150 has proven only partially effective in 
preventing exposure. By censoring the name, 
it proves effective in severely reducing the 
chances of a Theta-10 event. However, 
instances themselves (exposed to this 
document) fail to retain their original identity. 
The only known symptom associated with this 
(as reported by subjects), is the feeling of 
uneasiness. 


Again, it is very difficult to conduct direct 
research of SCP-2150. The best way to learn 
more about it is to expose yourself to it. 
Amnestic treatment has also proven partially 
effective in reducing the effects of SCP-2150. 
However, these effects are still prevalent, even 
after treatment. Anyone exposed to SCP-2150 
is infected by it indefinitely. We can treat it, but 
it is currently impossible to cure someone due 
to exposure. 


| understand that this document might raise 
more questions than answers. Revealing more 
information to you would risk infection. 
However, | advise all personnel reading this 
document to give extra caution when 
researching or studying SCP-2150. 


If you have any questions or concerns, feel 
free to contact me at 833-1542.

On //  ,SCP-2150 breached containment, resulting in 


24 minutes after the jets started, the female was heard to 
say that the water was "really warm" and made her feel 
"tingly". The male agreed, and they both climbed onto 
their respective rafts and fell asleep holding hands. 


29 minutes after the jets started, both of the rafts popped 
within 4 seconds of each other and the couple was again 
immersed completely in the water. At this time, 
significant frothing of the water began with a deep red 
color being given off from the subjects' locations. 
Subjects were heard to scream loudly and both 
attempted to exit the pool. Before exit was possible, the 
couple went under the surface, the frothing stopped and 
the pool went from red to clear approximately 48 
seconds later. The decision was made to institute a live 
guard at the pool. 


After two weeks, a story was leaked to the press that the 
couple had eloped to an unknown location somewhere in 
Mexico. 


Note: The use of SCP-242 for possible disposal of any SCP related

Mobile Task Force was dispatched to the site to detain 
all instances (including the Site Director). Two members 
of the Mobile Task Force became instances of

Note that the following information will not cause 
exposure to SCP-2150. 


In Regards to O5- , 


| am currently writing to you in hopes of 
addressing some key issues concerning 
SCP-2150 and the former Site Director located 
in Site- . 


| would first like to say thank you for giving me 
the opportunity to write the current 
documentation of SCP-2150. The document 
has served well in preventing a mass infection 
due to exposure of SCP-2150. The 
confidentiality of sensitive information, in 
combination with alteration of several logs has 
proven useful in preventing the current 
infohazards that threaten us. As | have been 
informed, some O5 members have undergone 
amnestic treatment prior to promotion, and | 
am no different. 


During the writing of SCP-2150, | have 
received safe information’ regarding the 
former Site Director. | have reason to suspect 
that prior to my promotion, | was the Site 
Director. My current biological ancestry and 
criminal records are identical to this man. 

Upon request, | can provide the documentation 
to prove my claim. 


If this is true, then | am a threat not only to the 
O5 Council, but also to the Foundation as well. 
Therefore, | request that | resign from the O5 
Council. 


Thank you in advance. 
O5- . 
In Regards to O5- , 


After reviewing the letter you have sent us, | 
(in addition to other members) have decided 
that we will resign you from O5-Council. 
However, the information you have given us is 
inconsistent. To the knowledge of the 
Foundation, the Site Director you've 
mentioned has never existed. We will not view 
the information, due to risk of exposure. 


Despite the confusion, we thank you for 
notifying us of this issue, and for your service 
in the Foundation. 


Thank you. 
O5- 
In Regards to the O5 Council, 


It has recently come to my attention that O5- 
has resigned due to a mishap regarding the 
documentation of SCP-2150. | have received 
safe information regarding the former Site 
Director in hopes to shed some light on the 
issue. The information indicates that the name 
associated with the Director was assigned for 
monthly rotation as a D-Class personnel in 
Site- 


In addition, the original documentation of 
SCP-2150 is now missing; it is likely that the 
former O5-_ has taken the document with him. 


It is now in the Foundation's interest to track 
down this man. Whoever this man may be, it is 
very likely that he has already infiltrated our 


highest chains of command. If this is true, the 
only way to prevent an outbreak is to continue 
our current protocol. Due to our procedures, 
no Council member knows the full name of 
SCP-2150. 


The near introduction of an infohazard is a 
wake-up call. All we know for certain is that 
hazardous information was presented to us 
after the promotion of O5- . Fortunately, the 
O5 Council remains uninfected. Stricter 
containment procedures on infohazards are 
the only way we can prevent a situation like 
this from happening again.

SCP-2151: The Ties That Bind Us 


Item #: SCP-2151 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2151-A and SCP-2151-B 
are to be kept in separate high security containment lockers at 
Site-81. Testing of SCP-2151-A and -B is currently suspended. 


SCP-2151-1A is to be maintained at Site-81 indefinitely, or until 
SCP-2151-1A expires. 


Description: SCP-2151-A and SCP-2151-B are nearly identical 
stainless steel rings. Aside from their effect on human wearers, they 
present no other anomalous properties. 


When two human beings wear SCP-2151-A and SCP-2151-B, any 
physical contact between them will activate SCP-2151-A and -B. 
Immediately upon contact, the two instances will increase 
dramatically in temperature and burn into the skin of the wearer. 
This happens quickly, and typically takes less than 20 seconds 
before the objects disappear under the skin of the wearer. 


The point of contact between the two subjects will also increase in 
temperature, often resulting in severe burning in the area, and the 
skin there will fuse. As time passes, more and more of the skin 
connecting the two individuals will become fused, eventually 
consuming the entire bodies of both subjects. Over time, the 
distinguishing characteristics of the individual subjects will become 
distorted and unrecognizable from their original state, and many of 
the biological functions of the individuals will shut down entirely!. 
The resulting entity is classified as SCP-2151-1(X). It is currently 
uncertain whether any higher mental functions are maintained 
throughout this process. 


At the end of this process, SCP-2151-A and SCP-2151-B will be 


pushed out of the resulting body by seemingly natural processes. No 
other anomalous activity occurs past this point. 


SCP-2151-1A is an entity believed to be the product of SCP-2151-A 
and SCP-2151-B's effect on two human beings. This entity was 
discovered at the home of Mr. and , in the room of 
[DATA EXPUNGED: See Addendum 2151/A for more information]. 
Despite additional instances of SCP-2151-1(X) expiring shortly after 
formation, SCP-2151-1A has persisted for more than 30 years since 
discovery. Research into how this is possible is ongoing. 


Addendum 2151/A: Discovery 
Information restricted to Level 3/2151 personnel or above. 


SCP-2151-A, -B, and -1A were initially discovered in the 
home of Mr. and , inthe second floor room 
of their youngest daughter, Monica . Current 
SCP-2151 timelines have revealed that the initial contact 
event began on September 17th, 1971 at roughly 1900 
hours, when Mr. and were away from the 
home. Upon discovery of the SCP-2151-1A entity, Mr. 

alerted the local authorities, and Foundation agents 
intervened. Amnestics were applied to the family, and 
cover story P315B "Fatal Car Accident" was spread 
through the local community. 


It is currently believed that Monica was wearing 
SCP-2151-B at the time of contact, due to genetic 
material belonging to her that was recovered from the 
object. The other individual has not yet been identified, 
although genetic material collected from SCP-2151-1A 
has shown that the subject was likely approximately 50 
years of age, and shared at least % of their genetic 
material with Monica 


Addendum 2151/B: Note Transcript 


The following note was discovered on the back of a 
photograph of Monica located in a wastebin in her 
bedroom. The origin of the image, and the author of the 


note, are both undetermined. 


my sweet monica 

I know you could never 
see us like I see us but 
I know we are meant to 
be together forever 

I think youll agree

Unit-05. Interaction with SCP-2152 warrants preliminary 
authorisation from the offsite Unit Deputy, who is to disclose the 
containment chamber entry code to any randomly-nominated guard 
selected from a stratified sample of the Unit security population, 
which is to be refreshed on a weekly basis. 


D-Class personnel are to enter SCP-2152's containment chamber 
unclothed. The nominated guard is to enter the disclosed code, 
direct the D-Class personnel into the containment chamber without 
personally entering the chamber themself, and close the door for 
automatic relocking. Upon closing the door, the entry code will 
automatically refresh. The nominated guard is to be thereafter 
designated E-Class personnel, and is to be regarded as such until 
the subject passes their follow-up monthly psychiatric examinations 
as per Document-REF62!. 


The effects of SCP-2152 are to be observed from a standard 
observatory bay via a two-way mirror on the west wall of the 
containment chamber. D-Class personnel are to remain active within 
the containment chamber for no longer than ten minutes. D-Class 
personnel are to be terminated within this juncture via lethal auditory 
cognitohazard. Personnel are to be left within the chamber until the 
remains are fully dispelled under SCP-2152's anomalous effects. 


Description: SCP-2152 is a marble, plinth-mounted bust of 
assumed Catalonian origin, depicting an unidentified female 
character wearing a headdress. Prominent weathering upon the 
surface of the marble indicates that the item is antique; this has 
been speculated despite what appears to be a comparatively recent, 


separate addition of pink latex-based paint to the eyes. 


SCP-2152 generates two primary anomalous effects. Firstly, 
SCP-2152 emits a continuous, uninterrupted stream of popular 
music released between 1971 and 2000 from an unknown internal 
source.? Music generated from within SCP-2152 generally includes 
synthpop, disco, smooth jazz, hip-hop, and Europop. At 10 minute 
intervals, an internally-generated female voice repeats the following 
message twice3: 


Prototype. Capitalism has triumphed, and this is a 
celebratory watermark. Now is the time. Begin your 
ascent unto preternatural luxury, and gaze into the heart 
of a prosperous future. You have all the time in the 
world. So sit back, relax, and absorb. Plunge yourself 
into the flourishing waters of New Earth, trademark. 
Deckchairs overlook island sunrises with your name on 
the horizon. Windows open to inexhaustible opportunity. 
Planes fly overhead. Congratulations. You are Home, 
trademark. 


Secondly, SCP-2152 applies several preservative effects to any 
space it occupies that can be defined as a 'room’. Previously 
observed anomalous effects include: 


¢ Electrical power sources continuing to supply energy to 

devices indefinitely. 

Unlimited preservation of food and spontaneous 

remanifestation directly at the feet of any subject that 

consumes it. 

¢ Preservation of items of clothing, with damaged items 
provided with spontaneous repair. 

¢ Dematerialisation of dead biological material. 

¢ Automatic maintenance of personal hygiene; examples 
include the lack of bacteria attracted to sweat molecules; 
spontaneous fluoride manifestation within the oral cavity, 
tooth-whitening, and immediate tooth-straightening with no 
resultant physical pain; increased reaction rates in human 
intermediary metabolisms; continuous moisturisation of the 
skin; and increased secretion of extracellular molecules 


(ECM) within all compatible bodily cells. 


Excluding the above effects, SCP-2152 additionally induces an 
improved subjective perception of beauty in humans, especially in 
regards to architecture, contemporary art, and nature. This effect is 
extreme, with past subjects expressing immoderate vocal 
enthusiasm regarding the design of containment chambers in which 
they were situated. 


Addendum restricted to selected personnel -- 
submit personal credentials [ 


I've temporarily attached this annotation to the database 
archive to document an important incident involving this 
skip. As the immediate anomalous effects of SCP-2152 
are still being explored and are not fully known, it is of 
the utmost importance that we analyse and attempt to 
determine the nature of what happened yesterday. 
Before | continue, this written text is expunged to those 
with subordinate clearance; don't panic if you've 
stumbled across this and know nothing about what just 
happened. If you're reading this now, you're relevant and 
share responsibility with those involved. 


Yesterday, the east wall of SCP-2152's containment 
chamber transmuted into what appeared to be an 
undulating translucent material. As you are aware, the 
room situated on the opposite side of the east wall is the 
central thermoregulatory chamber for the entire site; this 
is not what we thought we saw behind the translucent 
image. 


In terms of our reactions, there was initial panic, then 
guesswork. We were at first uncertain as to what we 
were looking at, but the research team had a general 
idea based on the proportions and positions of the 
shapes and colours behind the translucence. The ideas 
conflicted, but they all pointed towards the same idea. 
The wall stayed in this state of strange pellucidity for 
roughly twenty minutes. Then, without warning and to 
our surprise, the wall "switched" from translucence to 


SCP-243: Animation 


Item #: SCP-243 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-243 is to be secured in 
the geometric center of a standard containment cell no less than 

16 mx 16mx 16m. The cell is to be connected to an adjacent room 
of similar size and composition by one standard lockable door; all 
exits to the cells are to be kept locked and guarded against 
unauthorized access. 


No Eligible Group (more than 4 identical inanimate objects; see 
below) is permitted into the containment cell, nor any item capable 
of producing such a group, except as necessary for testing. 
Personnel entering the cell are subject to search & seizure of 
unauthorized multiples. 


Objects animated by SCP-243 are to be removed to the adjacent 
room for study. Undesirable animated items are to be disposed of 
promptly, by incineration if appropriate. In the event that SCP-243 is 
applied to other SCP objects, or to other items of similar value, the 
"flock" is to be separated and held in standard Safe- or Euclid-class 
inanimate item lockers until the effects wear off. 


Following Incident 243-02, bringing Eligible Groups of weapons, 
easily weaponized objects, or dry-cell batteries into SCP-243's 
containment is strictly forbidden. 


Description: SCP-243 is a mass of small dry-cell batteries, all fused 
at their negative terminals into an ellipsoid approximately 30 cm long 
by 10 cm diameter. The arrangement is semi-fluid: the batteries may 
be rearranged by applying gentle pressure, though it is far more 
difficult to remove them from the central cylinder. 


SCP-243's unusual properties manifest when an Eligible Group of 


crystalline transparency, physically turning the wall into a 
window. 


What we saw confirmed our speculation. It was very 
obviously an early-morning cliffside sunrise. We were 
absolutely dumbfounded. 


Firstly, we didn't actually know how or why the matter 
had reconstituted itself into the window in the first place, 
nevermind the scene beyond. It had ‘shifted’ in a fashion 
similar to that of switchable smart glass that the 
Foundation uses for observing hostile skips undergoing 
testing, or the kind you'd find in hospitals or nightclubs 
for privacy. 


As for the landscape, | couldn't describe it at the time 
without using the words ‘beautiful or 'staggering’. It was 
unnaturally bright, as if the image itself had been 
enhanced through the glass. | have yet to ask others, but 
| personally felt a monstrous, unconvincing sense of 
achievement when watching this dawn. There were 
these distant seabirds drifting over the ripples that 
seemed to bleed into the horizon, and through my mind, | 
could hear the repeated phrase, "this is my reward". 
Personally, | couldn't control that thought. It kept coming 
back to me, forcing itself upon me. It felt like home. It 
was unsatisfactory, forced, but it was home. 


| was getting all of these feelings while in the observatory 
bay. | wasn't even in the containment chamber. Even 
after that fifteen minutes of bliss, even after the east wall 
reformed to its original plaster-paint makeup, all | wanted 
to do was furnish the area with beanbags and trawl 
through social media on my phone or something. 


Shortly after the big reveal, my associates took the 
liberty of photographing the scene. They then ran them 
through the Foundation's locator softwares, attempting to 
identify the location presented so suddenly before us, 
assuming that it was a real-world location. It was not. | 
realised then that the ocean looked false. It seemed to 


always ripple forward, into the distance, as if stuck on 
some kind of loop. 


I've included a small portion of the photograph for the 
time being. It has been verified as perfectly safe for 
viewing, and has had no emotional effect on me 
whatsoever. In fact, when | think about it, | don't even 
think it looks anything like what | saw yesterday. 


We'll be discussing this event at daily recapitulation 
meetings that begin next week, to which you have an 
obligation to attend. The most recent revision within the 
containment procedures cannot be stressed enough. No- 
one enters the chamber but disposable personnel. | am 
convinced that anyone, if they were in there with 
SCP-2152, could've opened that window if they wanted 
to.

SCP-2153: Charitable Clovers 


Item#: SCP-2153 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Between 25 and 50 live 
SCP-2153-1 specimens are to be kept in Site-101's greenhouse, 
and are to be cared for in an identical fashion to non-anomalous 
clovers. Infestations of SCP-2153 outside of containment are to be 
destroyed through herbicide application. 


Foundation web crawlers are programmed to censor references to 
SCP-2153-A. Research is ongoing on methods to block emails sent 
by SCP-2153-A. Members of the public who receive emails from 
SCP-2153-A may be administered Class-A amnestics on a case by 
case basis. 


A Foundation front organization will assume credit for humanitarian 
airdrops by SCP-2153-A. 


Description: SCP-2153 is a virus of unknown genus which infects 
members of the genus Trifolium (Clovers) and spreads via 
pollination. Infected clovers, designated SCP-2153-1, invariably 
have four or more leaves. 


Humans attempting to pick or otherwise damage SCP-2153-1 
instances will fail in some way unless they are carrying a method of 
monetary transaction capable of transferring a value of at least US 
$4. If a subject carrying the appropriate amount picks or otherwise 
damages an SCP-2153-1 instance, they will lose a value of US$4, at 
which point the instance will become physically identical to a non- 
anomalous clover. 


SCP-2153 is believed to have been engineered by an organization 
called Trifolium Charities, hereafter SCP-2153-A. SCP-2153-A is 
responsible for over humanitarian airdrops in various locations 


since 2005 containing both various humanitarian supplies and 
hundreds of preserved instances of SCP-2153-1, sealed in plastic 
sheets. 


SCP-2153-A will email subjects who have picked SCP-2153-1 
instances within 12 hours of either picking the instance or of an 
airdrop occurring. There is currently no known way to prevent these 
emails from being sent, and they will also be sent to email 
addresses created by subjects after picking SCP-2153-1 instances. 
However, individual emails may be deleted normally and will not 
reappear afterwards. 


Addendum: The following are sample emails from SCP-2153-A. 
The first was sent after picking an SCP-2153-1 instance, and the 
second was sent following an airdrop. Thus far, all emails received 
from SCP-2153-A are identical. Websites linked in the emails lead to 
404 pages.

SCP-2154: Space nowadays 


Item #: SCP-2154 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2154 is to be contained in 
the observatory situated in the secured area DN-633, with access 
granted to Level 3/2154 and 4/2154 personnel. 


Description: SCP-2154 is an optical telescope situated in an 
observatory near [REDACTED], Canada. Closer examination of its 
components reveals their manufacturing technology is consistent 
with those used in analogous projects during the 1940s. Information 
about the elements allowing the anomalous characteristics [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


Using SCP-2154, it appears to be possible to observe celestial 
bodies in a state coinciding with the time of observation. This 
eliminates the limit factor of the speed of light which in ordinary 
circumstances leads to a substantial delay in receiving the visual 
information from remote parts of space. At the moment, the data 
received from SCP-2154 is undergoing active examination and is 
being compared to modern scientific models. 


Attention clearance 4/2154 personnel: the fact that you are able 
to see this text verifies your security clearance and access to 
the documentation below. 


The data received from SCP-2154 significantly differs from the 
modern scientific concept of space. Specifically, 72% of all 
cataloged astronomical objects are not present in observations 
made through SCP-2154. Two hypotheses can be made based on 
this: 


Star cluster in Monoceros constellation: first shot taken with 


telescope, second - with SCP-2154 


1. For some reason the number of stars has decreased substantially 
while their light traveled to Earth. 


2. There is opaque matter that obstructs the view of a considerable 
number of space objects. 


Regardless of which hypothesis is correct, the data received from 
SCP-2154 demands significant reconsideration of modern 
astrophysical concepts. 


Addendum 2154-1: / / Dr Spencer discovered that the degree of 
star visibility in galaxies M59, M60 and M89 in Virgo constellation is 
fluctuating. Based on this, he concluded that in these areas, there is 
a cloud of matter (hereinafter SCP-2154-A) which absorbs light, 
making direct observation impossible. SCP-2154-A is in constant 
motion and its surface has expanded by % since first observation. 
Later, SCP-2154-A was detected in other areas of space. The 
analysis of the phenomenon's dynamics, as well as projections of 
stellar object movement has shown that the influence of this matter 
on their visibility does not completely explain the deviation between 
the real and hypothesized quantity. Thus both hypotheses have 
been proven correct, specifically, that a fraction of the stars is 
concealed by an unknown matter and another fraction has indeed 
disappeared. The correlation between these two factors, as well as 
the actual size of SCP-2154-A, is currently being approximated. 


Considering that in recent years, the phenomenon has already 
appeared in galaxies within 3.6 megaparsecs of Earth!, Dr Spencer 
has proposed reclassifying SCP-2154-A as a separate Keter-class 
object.

SCP-2155: The Mexica Government in Exile 


Item #: SCP-2155 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Eta-10- 
LatAm ("No los veo") is constantly monitoring the internet for any 
online document in any major language that refers to a "Restored 
Aztlan", "New Tenochtitlan" or "Cem Anahuac" for traces of 
SCP-2155. 


Should any minor infection vector be located, Class A and B 
amnestics are authorized to neutralize the outbreak. In the case of a 
major infection, especially if documents or pamphlets encourage the 
worship of Mesoamerican deities, along with armed uprising, 
Protocol 1907 "Rio Blanco" is to be enacted. 


Description: SCP-2155 is a memetic cognitohazard, which makes 
anyone infected believe in the existence of a "Government of 
Tenochtitlan in Exile", designated SCP-2155-1. 

Given that more than 450 years have passed since the fall of 
Tenochtitlan, the actual existence of SCP-2155-1 is considered 
highly improbable. Under Revision, see addendum E525 -Dr. 


Depending on the ethnicity and nationality of those infected, it is 
estimated that between 35% and 90% of those infected will become 
sympathetic to the cause espoused by the documents containing 
SCP-2155. Those that remain neutral or hostile to the cause 
become asymptomatic carriers?. 

Notably, the discussion of SCP-2155-1 by non carriers, does not 
cause infection. 


The rest of the infected subjects, if left untreated, will actively 
attempt to spread SCP-2155 through word of mouth, pamphlets, 
impromptu public speeches, and more recently, websites and social 
media postings. Documents spreading SCP-2155 have been 


detected in Nahuatl, Spanish, English, Mandarin and 


Most such documents claim that the heirs to the Mexica Empire, 
along with a sizable portion of the priesthood and warrior castes, 
went into hiding in 15 and have waged a guerrilla war against the 
Spanish Empire first, and then the governments of Mexico, the 
United States of America, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. 
Two recorded instances claimed that Maximilian of Hapsburg had 
brokered a marriage alliance with SCP-2155-1 but that he was killed 
before it could be finalized. 


Most documents containing SCP-2155 in the last decade refer to 
Ill, as the current Huéy Tlahtoani, or emperor. Others, may 

refer to other supposed leaders of the resistance, so-called 

tlahtoqueh, meaning "speakers" including ; , or 


Information between instances of SCP-2155 infections may be 
conflicting, but almost all of them denounce the "oppression of the 
people by the European invaders" and call all indigenous peoples of 
the continent to "actively resist and hinder the usurpers." Documents 
have advocated actions ranging from passive resistance and hunger 
strikes, up to terrorist attacks, suicide bombings and [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


Documents containing SCP-2155 identify as "the invaders" all kinds 
of establishment organizations, including the governments of the 
territories claimed by SCP-2155-1, the Catholic Church, the major 
drug cartels and, on one recorded case, the Foundation. 


Some SCP-2155 containing documents claim that SCP-2155-1 has 
garnered the recognition and support of "brethren sovereignties in 
resistance" of such nations as Nuwaubia, Yamato Damashi, Bobo 
Ashanti or the . Interviews with members of these 
separatist groups have yielded no results so far. 


If an infection vector is left alone for more than days, the 
documents and speeches by SCP-2155 carriers will progressively 
become more complex and no longer be solely political in nature. 
Such websites and documents will start calling for the return to the 
worship of Mesoamerican deities, in particular Tezcaltipoca and 


Huitzilopoctli. 


Starting in 19 , an increasing number of SCP-2155 cases have 
called for the destruction of the Cathedral and for the 
establishment of a "Temple of the Fifth Sun"2 to these deities. This 
has increased in the last decades as the main vector of infection has 
changed to online documents, instead of pamphlets and speeches. 


Addendum E525: According to document SCP-2155-E525, 
retrieved on October , 20 , the leaders of SCP-2155-1 went into 
hiding into Mictlan3 and call for the resumption of worship at the 
Temple of the Fifth Sun and the restoration of "the flower wars" to 
provide suitable sacrifices to restore SCP-2155-1's power. 


Excerpt from document SCP-2155-E525 - 
Level 4 access required. 


"People of the Sun, race of bronze! 

Discard your chains and break your bonds! 
You are called into greatness, into the five 
pointed star! 

Reject the white man, his god, his greed! 
Take the form of the nahual, and join us in the 
other side! 


[DATA EXPUNGED - POSSIBLE COGNITOHAZARD] 


Huitzilopochtli the warrior hummingbird thirsts 
for your blood! 

Tlaloc who nourishes the earth rains his 
blessings upon you! 

Coatlique the snake is both your mother's 
womb and the grave! 

Quetzalcodatl the feathered serpent calls for 
you to follow him! 

Tezcaltipoca the smoking mirror has many 
things to teach you!" 


[DATA EXPUNGED - POSSIBLE COGNITOHAZARD] 


Tloque Nahuaque! Lord of the Near and the 


objects is brought into its active zone, an area of indeterminate 
shape extending no more than 7.3 m or less than 2.5 m from the 
center of the item. The active zone's precise extent and shape 
change from minute to minute. An Eligible Group consists of 5 or 
more identical or nearly-identical inanimate objects: "nearly- 
identical" items are those that a casual observer cannot easily 
distinguish based on attributes other than overall color. 


Eligible Group members animate when brought into the active zone, 
displaying unusual flexibility and powers of levitation and 
locomotion. They acquire a few basic instincts, including self- 
preservation and variously complex flocking behavior. Object flocks 
range from simple separation-alignment-cohesion groups, like flocks 
of birds or shoals of fish, to aggregates involving role specialization 
and formation of discrete subunits. Animated objects also, 
secondarily to flocking, tend to behave in ways thematically 
appropriate to an object of their type: umbrellas form large shades, 
chairs make themselves available as seating, knives seek out 
objects to cut, etc. 


An item separated from the "flock" wanders aimlessly or searches 
for other flock members. Approximately 4 hours after separation, the 
item goes dormant and loses all apparent unusual properties; at this 
point, reuniting it with its group renders it animate again. 25 minutes 
after going dormant, it becomes permanently inanimate, losing all 
unusual properties and reverting to a normal object of its type. 
Whether intact or missing members, a flock de-animates 
permanently 24 +/- 2 hours after initial exposure to SCP-243. Flocks 
displaying complex shoaling behavior frequently fuse upon 
deanimation into aggregates representative of that behavior. 


Addendum: SCP-243 came to the Foundation's attention following 
a series of suspicious incidents involving Animation Studios. The 
unusually fluid, "natural" motion depicted in the cartoons produced 
would not ordinarily have attracted attention, but [DATA 
EXPUNGED] every desk lamp in the facility [DATA EXPUNGED]. 
The effects wore off in the usual 24 hours. Class-A amnestics were 
administered to the animators involved and their families, all of 
whom remain under surveillance. Future productions are to be 
monitored carefully for evidence of further interference. 


Nigh! He is in you! He is you! 
Additional funding is requested to further investigate.

SCP-2156: Red and Black 


Item #: SCP-2156 
Anomaly Class: Euclid // Object 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2156 is to be contained in 
a Type 5 Humanoid Containment Cell at Site-17. In addition to 
standard amenities and precautions associated with TSHCC, 
SCP-2156 has been permitted to provide its own bedding, and may 
wear clothing that covers its entire body. 


SCP-2156 is currently being treated for its insomnia and anxiety. As 
significant periods of isolation have been shown to increase 
SCP-2156's anxiety, SCP-2156 is to be visited no less than thrice 
weekly in addition to its regular therapy sessions. The personnel 
assigned to this duty and suggested discussion topics are to be 
prescribed by SCP-2156's HMCL supervisor and are available in 
Document 2156-C3. 


Personnel are only permitted in SCP-2156's cell during the two 
hours immediately after the conclusion of SCP-2156's active state, 
during which any necessary maintenance and replacement of items 
must be performed. Any movement of SCP-2156 to another cell 
must also be performed during this time. 


Description: SCP-2156 is a human female 20 years of age, with 
either bright red or black skin pigmentation that alternates after each 
active state’. SCP-2156 experiences chronic insomnia and anxiety, 
most often sleeping between two and four hours per day at irregular 
intervals immediately following its active states. 


SCP-2156 will involuntarily enter an active state for roughly one 
minute between three and seven times daily. Active states are more 
frequent when SCP-2156 is particularly anxious or when it has gone 
more than five hours without sleep, but will generally not occur more 
than once in a given two-hour period. If provoked or severely 


startled, SCP-2156 may enter an active state immediately, although 
it will not fall asleep after an active state triggered in this manner. 


During an active state, items in SCP-2156's vicinity will be altered 
in one of several ways outlined below: 


* Items with multiple well-defined states (ex. a lightbulb's "on" 
and "off" states; a candle's "lit" and "unlit" states) will alternate 
rapidly between the different states. 
Items with multiple layers (ex. a sofa with a frame, stuffing, 
and covering; a living organism) will have their layers 
exchanged with each other, both between items and within the 
same item. 
¢ The positions of items not fully contiguous with SCP-2156's 
surroundings will be displaced at high velocity, often causing 
damage to SCP-2156's surroundings. Frequently, stacks 
between two and seven items high are briefly formed. 
ltems that can be assembled or disassembled (ex. a jigsaw 
puzzle; a piece of cloth) will rapidly assemble and 
disassemble, often in the wrong configuration. 
All items that are primarily red or black in coloration (except 
for SCP-2156) will be duplicated for the duration of the event. 
¢ SCP-2156 itself will appear to possess between one and 
thirteen heads, changing in number once per second. It will 
not retain an abnormal number of heads. 


SCP-2156 perceives its active states as though it is playing several 
consecutive games of Klondike? with the interface associated with 
the game's inclusion in the Windows 7 operating system4. While 
SCP-2156 reports that it has control over the cards within the rules 
of the game, it is unclear whether its actions directly translate to the 
events that occur during an active state. SCP-2156 firmly believes 
that meeting some unidentified criteria during an active state will 
cure its insomnia. 


After every 52nd active state, SCP-2156 will disappear completely 
for thirteen hours and four minutes before reappearing at its prior 
location. SCP-2156 reports that it is "shuffled" during this time, and 
experiences substantially heightened mood and alertness for a short 
period of time thereafter. 


History: SCP-2156 was recovered from its dormitory room at 
University on February 22, 2014, after it entered its first active state. 
Due to SCP-2156's alarm at its sudden development of anomalous 
properties, as well as the mutilation of the two students closest to it, 
several active states in a row occurred, resulting in six total 
casualties and substantial property damage. Containment was 
achieved with great difficulty. 


Reports indicate that SCP-2156 began to develop insomnia during 
January of 2014. Poor grades and dismissal from its part-time job 
(both due primarily to symptoms of insomnia) resulted in the 
development of substantial anxiety. No immediate trigger for the 
development of SCP-2156's anomalous properties has been found. 


Footnotes 

1. The coloration's origin has not been identified. 

2. This is generally limited to the room that SCP-2156 is in, except 
when the room has relatively few items that would be affected by the 
active state. The standard furnishings of a TSHCC are more than 
sufficient to limit an active state's effects to SCP-2156's cell. 

3. A patience game, known as "solitaire" in the United States, played 
with a standard 52-card deck. 

4. Records recovered from SCP-2156's personal computer indicate 
that, prior to recovery, SCP-2156 had played Klondike solitaire with 
this interface 2704 times, with a win percentage of 52%.

around SCP-2157 for the purposes of containing and studying it 
under the public pretense of an agriculture research outpost. Guards 
armed with light weapons are to patrol the exterior of the site and 
deter civilian approach. Persons actively attempting to breach the 
site are to be detained and questioned. 


Site-49 is a circular one-story building consisting of a central 
chamber containing SCP-2157, research laboratories, examination 
rooms and storerooms in the inner ring, and barracks, offices and 
interrogation rooms in the outer ring. The central chamber has no 
floor so that SCP-2157 has access to the natural ground, and it is 
equipped with a retractable roof to be opened at the discretion of the 
Site Director or Senior Medical Researcher. 


Description: SCP-2157 consists of 43 humans (21 males, 22 
females) 41 humans (20 males, 21 females) of Asian ethnicity but 
varying heights, weights and builds, located in an approximate 20m2 
area within the forest in Japan. 


Although standing in a seemingly random arrangement, each 
member of SCP-2157 faces a western direction and, while they 
have never displayed any autonomous movement, they are capable 
of involuntary actions, such as blinking and flinching from stimulus. 
They show no adverse reaction to extreme cold beyond a reduction 
in metabolic activity, similar to hibernation in some mammals. 
Sunlight and occasional rainwater seem to be the only sustenance 
they require. 


Biological analysis on SCP-2157 has found that its members are 
genetically siblings and are approximately thirty years old. 


Each member of SCP-2157 has its feet covered in soil, but there is 
no physical connection to the earth. Despite this, removal from the 
soil is fatal to SCP-2157 members (see Addenda 1A and 1B). 
Analysis of the soil has found nothing anomalous. 


SCP-2157 was discovered on 04/13/20 when Foundation agents 
embedded in local law enforcement were made aware of its 
existence following an indecent exposure report from two hikers who 
reported encountering a “group of nudists” in the forest. It is 
unknown how SCP-2157 went undiscovered before this, given its 
public location. The hikers, and all affected police officers, were 
administered Class-A amnestics. 


Addendum 1A: 04/05/20 — A male member of SCP-2157 
(SCP-2157-01) was scheduled to be removed for further testing. 
Medical Technicians S_ andC lifted SCP-2157-01 onto a 
gurney for transport, at which point every member of SCP-2157 
screamed loudly upon its removal from the soil. SCP-2157-01 
immediately expired. 


Each member of SCP-2157 then turned their heads to look at Med- 
TechsS andC , maintaining eye contact where possible until 
the technicians left the containment chamber, at which point 
SCP-2157 resumed facing west. 


Autopsy on SCP-2157-01 found cause of death to be heart failure 
and its stomach to be full of soil similar in composition to that at the 
base of SCP-2157. The full autopsy results can be found in Medical 
Report 2157-01. 


"We have no idea how that soil gets into their bodies, or, 
for that matter, how it gets out, if it does at all." — Dr. 
Masuda, Senior Medical Researcher, Site-49 


Note: All subsequent times Med-Techs S_  andC have 
entered SCP-2157’s containment chamber, its members have 
turned to face them as much as their necks will allow. 


Addendum 1B: 05/05/20 — A female member of SCP-2157 
(SCP-2157-02) was removed to compare results with the 
SCP-2157-01 incident. Medical Technicians K andOQ were 


tasked with lifting SCP-2157-02 onto a gurney. Outcome was 
identical, with exception that observers noted that SCP-2157’s 
screams were louder. Autopsy results can be found in Medical 
Report 2157-02. 


"Further testing that requires removing SCP-2157 
members from the soil has been suspended indefinitely." 
— F. Ishimoto, Site Director, Site-49 


Addendum 2A: 05/20/20 —Med-TechO _ was found deceased 
in his barracks bunk. Autopsy found that his stomach and 
esophagus were filled with soil of similar composition to that at the 
base of SCP-2157, and he had died via asphyxiation. Trace 
amounts of the soil were also found inO _ 's blood. Other 
personnel sharing the barracks reported hearing no disturbance 
through the night. Given the nature of O _ 's death, locating Med- 
Techs K ,S andC was made a level 3 priority. 


Med-Tech K was discovered in Storeroom C shortly after this, 
deceased via the same means. He was positioned as if sleeping, 
and there were no indications on his body or surroundings of a fall. 


Med-Tech C was off-duty and a team of agents was sent to her 
residence. After forcing entry, the agents found C on her 
bedroom floor, deceased via the same means, in a similar position 
to Med-Tech K 


Med-Tech S__ was also off-duty, but has yet to be located. 
Throughout these events, SCP-2157 showed no change in activity. 


UPDATE: As of 11/20/20 Medical Technician S_'s whereabouts 
are still unknown. Although he is presumed deceased, investigation 
is still ongoing but has been downgraded to a level 4 priority.

SCP-2158: The Gun That Never Misses 


Item #: SCP-2158 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2158 is kept in a lockbox 
in Site-17. SCP-2158-1 is kept in the Site-47 morgue. 


Description: SCP-2158 is a Remington Model 1875 revolver 
clasped in the disembodied hand of Joshua Graham (1868-1893). It 
is unmodified save for hand-made grips of cow-horn. It fires .44-40 
cartridges. Any bullet fired from this revolver will change course 
upon leaving the barrel, taking the most direct route to SCP-2158-1, 
where it will lodge itself, passing through any obstacles. 


SCP-2158-1 is the embalmed body of Stanley Tewksbury 
(1871-1924), a rancher originally buried in Punkin Center, Arizona. It 
currently contains over 130 bullets, 80 of which were present before 
retrieval. 


SCP-2158 was found in an abandoned ranch house in Punkin 
Center, held by the corpse of Joshua Graham, another rancher. 
Autopsy showed death by hanging as the cause of death. Most of 
the body was badly decomposed, but the hand was mummified and 
could not be removed from the revolver. 


Notably, Stanley Tewksbury died of natural causes thirty years after 
Joshua Graham passed away.

SCP-2159: Head-"Kannon" 


Item #: SCP-2159 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2159 is to be kept ina 
secure locker at Site-44. Once per month, at least two Level 2 
personnel are to inspect SCP-2159 and compare SCP-2159's 
description with Iteration 0 (Description of Iteration 0 can be found in 
Document 2159-Ki). If any discrepancies from Iteration 0 or among 
the personnel are noted, Site-44 Director is to be notified 
immediately. Personnel are to wear protective gloves prior to direct 
contact with SCP-2159. 


+ View Previous Special Containment Procedures 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2159 is to be 
kept in a secure locker at Site-44. Whenever there are 
tests involving SCP-2159, there must be at least two 
personnel present. Personnel are to wear protective 
gloves prior to direct contact with SCP-2159. All unique 
descriptions of SCP-2159's appearances are to be 
documented and archived in Document 2159-Ki. 


Update (28/07/2004): Handling of SCP-2159 is to be 
conducted by two teams consisting of two research 
personnel each (dubbed Team Alpha and Team Bravo). 
Team Alpha and Team Bravo personnel are not to be 
informed of SCP-2159's SCP designation. They are to 
avoid using numeric designations or unique nicknames 
to refer to SCP-2159. Instead, they are to use broad 
generalised designations; specifically, the term "item" for 
Team Alpha and the term "object" for Team Bravo. 


Team Alpha and Team Bravo personnel are denied 
access to all SCP-2159 files on RAISA. They are to 


submit findings regarding SCP-2159 to a designated 
Level 1 clerical staff (currently Ms. Aya Sotoda), who will 
then catalogue them. If Team Alpha or Team Bravo 
personnel intend to request data regarding SCP-2159, 
approval is to be sought from the Project Head (currently 
Dr. Carlos Fujimori). 


Personnel aware of SCP-2159's SCP designation are not 
allowed access to SCP-2159, unless permission is 
granted by Site-44 Director. 


Description: SCP-2159 is an object with an indeterminate 
appearance. Its appearance is dependent on individual perception; 
no two individuals perceive SCP-2159 as the same object.! Each 
iteration of SCP-2159 tends to relate to the observer in some way. 
Depictions of SCP-2159 on photographs and video footage also 
display this anomalous property. Below is an abridged list of known 
iterations SCP-2159 is perceived as.

Addendum 2: Given the release of Animation Studios's film 
"Knick Knack" prior to containment of SCP-243, in which a flamingo 
is one of several characters, it is currently hypothesized that 
SCP-243 may be a possible origin for SCP-1507. The style of 
movement observed in SCP-1507 instances matches movement 
observed from the character in the film, and the effects of SCP-243 
would explain the former's flocking behaviors. If SCP-243 is the 
origin of SCP-1507, it is currently unknown why SCP-1507 has yet 
to deanimate, or if it will deanimate in accordance to SCP-243's 
behavior in the future.

SCP-2159 has a consistent mass and volume of approximately 
800.3 g and 228.0 cm3 respectively, and its density is determined to 
be 3.51 g/cm (2 d.p.). Material composition of SCP-2159 is 
unknown; attempts to extract samples of SCP-2159 for analysis 
have failed to date. In addition, a buildup of positive electrical 
charges is detected on the surface of SCP-2159. 


SCP-2159 was recovered from the Yoyogi Park in Shibuya, Tokyo, 
Japan on 03/06/2004. Urban legends regarding a "shape-shifting 
object" in Yoyogi Park brought SCP-2159 to the Foundation's 
attention. Agents were subsequently dispatched and claimed 
SCP-2159 on suspicions of it being a chemical weapon. Passers-by 
present were also brought in for questioning, followed by amnestic 
treatment. Subsequently, rumours referring to SCP-2159 were 
debunked via a cover story of hallucinogens found in the area. 


Addendum 2159-1: The following are additional details regarding 
the recovery of SCP-2159, collated by Agents Shirokawa and 
Oiratya. 


¢ Grass surrounding SCP-2159 was charred. 

¢ When SCP-2159 was removed from original position, a 
rectangular indentation 10 cm deep was noted. 

¢ Soil sample from SCP-2159's original position indicates traces 
of fulgurite.” 


Addendum 2159-2: Since 21/07/2004, personnel have noted that a 
number of SCP-2159's iterations allude to its SCP designation. 
Below are 2 examples of such iterations. 


Subject Description 
Researcher Shiki Ichinose A framed photograph of actress 
Mimi Kung Chi Yan in her role as 
Guan Yin from the Hong Kong TV 
series Journey to the West (1996 
version). Autograph is replaced 


by “2759”. 

Dr. Carlos Fujimori A photo album titled "2159 
Pictures of 2159". Album consists 
of the number "2159" rendered in 
various fonts and numeral 
systems. The number "2159" and 
its variants appear 2159 times in 
the album. 


Regarding the phenomenon, Dr. Fujimori has offered the following 
statement. 


Please consider the following analogy. 


Before we had contained SCP-2159, multiple individuals 
— let's call them Agents A and B — would view it as 
Iterations A’ and B’ respectively. To the two agents, 
respective iterations were mutually exclusive. Each 
Iteration was connected to SCP-2159 individually, but 
not to each other. 


Post-containment, we have given SCP-2159 its 
designation. The same Agents A and B will still view 
SCP-2159 as Iterations A’ and B’ respectively. However, 
both Agents A and B now recognise that their respective 
Iterations (A’ and B’) are but subsets of SCP-2159. A 
state of interconnectedness now exists and the 
designation of SCP-2159 is at the centre of it. 


In our quest to discern SCP-2159, our standard practice 
to designate it has become an obstacle in itself. As such, 
| believe that we may need a slight alteration to our 
operations. 


Following Dr. Fujimori's statement, personnel studying on SCP-2159 
were reassigned, except for Dr. Fujimori. SCP-2159's Special 
Containment Procedures have been updated accordingly; see 
Update (28/07/2004). 


Addendum 2159-3: Below is an excerpt from Dr. Fujimori's 
research notes regarding SCP-2159. 


24/09/2004 — Self references on SCP-2159 were noted 
by both Alpha and Bravo. However, whereas Alpha 
report instances of the word "item", Bravo report 
instances of the word "object". SCP-2159's self- 
references appear to be inevitable. However, our current 
methodology did stall the process. 


Have individual persons to report findings separately? 


Addendum 2159-4: On 17/10/2004, both reports from Team Alpha 
and Team Bravo indicate that SCP-2159 has taken on a common 
appearance. It is believed to be SCP-2159's default form, dubbed 
Iteration 0. This is later verified independently by Dr. Fujimori and 
two D-class personnel, with the three said personnel claiming to 
perceive SCP-2159 as Iteration 0. 


This effect extends to photographs and video footage of SCP-2159. 
However, the buildup of positive electrical charges on SCP-2159 is 
still present. 


Below is a description of Iteration 0. 


Iteration: 0 
Description: A diamond tablet with the following words 
carved onto it:

SCP-2160: The Happy Place 


Item #: SCP-2160 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Mu-4 
("Debuggers") is currently assigned to track and investigate potential 
internet sites that may be involved in the broadcast of SCP-2160. In 
addition, Mobile Task Force Mu-4 is authorized to shut down said 
sites in the event a transmission occurs. 


Description: SCP-2160 is a webcast entitled "The Happy Place", 
currently produced from an unknown location. The source of the 
broadcast varies with each instance of SCP-2160, and all attempts 
to locate a specific point of origin have failed. Forty-eight hours 
before broadcast, a countdown timer appears on the website chosen 
to host the webcast, and once it reaches zero the page 
automatically refreshes itself; in its place is a built-in video player. 
The pattern for choosing the website used, if any, is not currently 
known. Due to the coding on the website itself (it is unknown 
whether or not this was intentionally done by the creators of 
SCP-2160) the video portion of the webcast does not play, only the 
audio portion. 


The broadcast portion of SCP-2160 begins with an opening jingle, 
and is introduced as "The Happy Place". The webcast is narrated by 
"Sheriff Buddy", who introduces himself. The webcast then 
continues, with the audio similar to other educational children's 
television shows. 


No evidence exists that such a show was ever broadcast prior to the 
first known instance of SCP-2160. Research has indicated that 
interest in the webcast has increased since the initial broadcast, and 
any fan sites and discussion boards pertaining to SCP-2160 are to 
be monitored. 


[LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED TO PROCEED] 


On 04/16/12 after the first known broadcast, the 
anomalous nature of SCP-2160 became apparent when 
multiple Sites began receiving visits from people claiming 
to be "fans" of SCP-2160. Further questioning revealed 
that the affected individuals had downloaded the 
webcast and watched it outside of its native source. 


It was this action that brought SCP-2160 to the 
Foundation's attention, and research began on the 
matter. It was discovered that if an instance of SCP-2160 
is downloaded or recorded from the broadcast site and 
then is played within a different program the visual 
portion of the instance functions as normal, revealing 
Sheriff Buddy to be a marionette dressed in a cowboy 
suit that resembles O5-6, and other puppets that re- 
enact events that do not coincide with the audio of the 
broadcast. 


Due to the sensitive nature of the events being re- 
enacted, transcripts and other data in relation to 
SCP-2160 has been limited to those with Level 4 
clearance or higher. 


Excerpt from transcript of Webcast made 
on 6/27/12 


00:04:29 - [Sheriff Buddy is standing over a 
rag doll strapped to a bed. The room itself is a 
sterile white, and there are IV stands next to 
the rag doll's bed.] 


00:04:31 - Sheriff Buddy: Now then kids, what 
do we do when someone is hurt? 


00:04:33 - [A chorus of children can be heard 
yelling out "call an adult" as six separate doors 
slide open, and six other puppets enter. These 
puppets are dressed in orange prison garb. 
The rag doll lifts her head, making a horrified 


expression.] 


00:04:50 - Sheriff Buddy: That's right kids! 
Always tell an adult if your friend is hurt so 
they can get help! 


00:05:10 - [The six new puppets continue to 
approach the bed, with the rag doll thrashing in 
place. At this point, Mobile Task Force Mu-4 
managed to force an interruption of the feed, 
and no further part of this instance was seen.] 


END TRANSCRIPT 


This particular instance of SCP-2160 led to the re- 
assignment of Mobile Task Force Mu-4 from all non-vital 
assignments to focus on the issue. Analysis of the 
broadcast as suggests that the creators had inside 
knowledge of Foundation activity. That, coupled with the 
memetic effect the footage has had on some, suggests 
the possibility that a currently contained SCP may be 
causing these broadcasts to occur. Further research is 
Ongoing. 


Excerpt from transcript of Webcast made 
on 02/10/13 


00:00:05.9 - [Sheriff Buddy is positioned on a 
catwalk over a large, sterile looking white 
room. Below him is a large mechanical device, 
and there are five other puppets surrounding it, 
each dressed in a clean white suit. Four other 
puppets burst in through a door, dressed in all 
black tactical armor and carrying assault rifles. 
They then open fire.] 


00:00:06.3 - Sheriff Buddy: Today kids, we are 
going to talk about Chinese New Year's! 


00:00:07.2 - [The sound of firecrackers going 
off can be heard as the gunfire goes off. One 


of the five puppets, a female with brown hair, 
dives underneath a table while a male puppet 
with brown hair is struck twice in the head.] 


00:00:07.8 - [Another male puppet drops out of 
sight, presumably hit, but the angle makes it 
impossible to tell.] 


00:00:08.0 - [A third male puppet is shot in the 
shoulder, falling to the floor and rolling behind 
the device.] 


00:00:08.1 - [The last of the original five 
puppets is hit three times in the chest and 
falls.] 


00:00:08.2 - Sheriff Buddy: Happy new year 
from the fine folks of China! 


00:00:11.3 - [The device in the center emits a 
bright light, and the show starts over. This loop 
continues until the webcast is interrupted at 
the 00:04:07 mark.] 


END TRANSCRIPT 


Shortly after this transmission airs, the monitoring data of 
SCP-176 was reviewed, but no signs of any 
unauthorized access were detected. 


Excerpt from transcript of Webcast made 
on 07/04/13 


00:01:03 - [Sheriff Buddy is in the foreground, 
with a puppet made to look like a young 
woman of Asian descent behind him, as well 
as a taller puppet of a balding man in a lab 
coat.] 


00:01:06 - Sheriff Buddy: Today kids, we are 
going to talk about the importance of obeying 
all the rules. 


SCP-244: Ice Fog Jar 


Item #: SCP-244 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: When not in testing, SCP-244-1 
is to be placed in a room with its own thermostat, kept at a 
temperature of no less than 38°C. This room must also have its own 
ventilation system to provide constant air circulation. SCP-244-1 will 
rest on top of a scale attached to an alarm, so that any abrupt 
changes in weight from SCP-244-1's cap's sudden removal or from 
SCP-244-1's displacement may be immediately detected. If the 
alarm goes off, SCP-244-1 is to be immediately retrieved, capped, 
and placed back on the scale. In the event that SCP-244-1 spends 
longer than four (4) hours uncapped and active before retrieval is 
possible, initiate Procedure 244-21 23-B. 


Description: SCP-244-1 is a Tunisian-style earthenware jar, made 
of common ceramics mixed with traces of [DATA EXPUNGED] and 
decorated with silver filigree. The inside of SCP-244-1 always has 
an internal temperature of -37°C and a 125% humidity, regardless of 
external conditions; persons handling SCP-244-1 invariably describe 
it as cold to the touch. SCP-244-1 includes a cap of identical make 
and style to the jar itself. 


When SCP-244-1 is uncapped, condensed water vapor will flow 
from its mouth. The rate at which the vapor emanates increases if 
SCP-244-1 is left lying on its side or suspended upside-down. This 
vapor is identical in composition to ice fog, with a temperature of 
-37°C and 125% humidity as it exits SCP-244-1. Over time, this fog 
will disperse through whatever area SCP-244-1 is in, lowering 
ambient temperatures and raising humidity levels proportionally. The 
amount of time it takes for SCP-244-1 to fill an area with fog varies 
depending on the size of the space, the amount of moisture already 
in the air, and the temperature at the time SCP-244-1 is opened. If 
SCP-244-1 is left uncapped outside of any structure, it will still 


00:01:38 - [The male puppet in the labcoat 
holds out a white sheet of paper, and the 
female puppet touches it, causing the paper to 
turn purple.] 


00:02:10 - Sheriff Buddy: Adults make the 
rules to make sure you stay safe. You want to 
stay safe, right kids? 


00:03:00 - [A chorus of children can be heard 
yelling out "Yes Sheriff Buddy" as the girl 
puppet starts to jump into the air.] 


00:03:10 - Sheriff Buddy: Remember kids, 
always listen to the adult in charge. It's for your 
own good! 


00:03:33 - [The female puppet reaches an 
equivalent scale height of 5 meters with its 
jump before falling back to the floor. Upon 
impact, both of the puppet's legs break.] 


END TRANSCRIPT 


Due to the particular incident referenced, testing was 
done to see if SCP-2599 was a viable suspect. A 
posthypnotic suggestion is placed into the mind of 
SCP-2599 to attempt to recreate the events of the 
broadcast, to see if her subconscious mind was capable 
of acting in a manner that her conscious mind could not. 
She recreated the broadcast, except instead of Sheriff 
Buddy resembling O5-6, it now resembled O5-8. As a 
result, a new round of tests were created to try to identify 
why the subject was able to recreate the likeness of an 
individual they had never met before. 


The numbers of civilian visitors arriving at Sites due to 
the broadcasts had reached a point where drastic 
measures were deemed necessary. Mobile Task Force 
Mu-4 was ordered to seize control of the broadcasting 
website the moment a transmission of SCP-2160 ended 


and broadcast a posthypnotic suggestion to make the 
viewers forget they had just watched SCP-2160. Number 
of civilian sightings at Foundation Sites dropped 
significantly for subsequent broadcasts.

00:37:16 - [The camera pans in on a large 
puppet, surrounded by puppets half its height 
wearing hazmat suits. The large puppet is dark 
red with a pale grey underbelly. Spines run 
down its head and back, and its mouth ends in 
a proboscis. Sheriff Buddy can be seen in the 
foreground.] 


00:38:02 - Sheriff Buddy: Just remember kids, 
things like smoke detectors make loud noises 
to alert you of danger, so always pay attention. 


00:38:34 - [A loud piercing noise can be heard, 
like that of a smoke detector. As it does the 
larger puppet starts to convulse, and the other 
puppets put their hands over their ears. The 
noise grows increasing louder for several 
seconds before reaching its peak. As it does, 
all the puppets besides the largest liquefy, and 
the webcast abruptly ends.] 


END TRANSCRIPT 


This specific webcast proved significantly more difficult 
than the others to locate, and as a result only cut off due 
to the events in the webcast itself. Due to the nature of 
this broadcast, the location where webcast was 
produced was identified as the basement of a home in 

, Colorado. When the MTF arrived the house was 
found to be vacant, with all the windows of the dwelling 
shattered. Upon entering, the house was empty with the 
exception of the basement, which had been painted 
white and contained the remaining intact puppet, as well 


as the liquefied remains of the other puppets. A digital 
camera was set-up on a tri-pod, with a cable connecting 
it to a desktop computer on a nearby table. The monitor 
to the computer was shattered, and the actual computer 
was in pieces, with the hard drives removed. Left on the 
table was a note that read simply "Wake her up" over 
and over, written in black ink. Research continues into 
the possible meaning of this particular message.

00:00:01 - [The scene of the broadcast starts 
off quite differently than previous ones, taking 
place in the outdoors. The sun beats down 
upon a wide panning view of a large hole, 
several meters across. Several toy trucks can 
be seen, a large number of which are concrete 
trucks.] 


00:00:05 - Sheriff Buddy: Hello kids! My name 
is Sheriff Buddy and welcome to The Happy 
Place! Today we are going to be talking about 
secrets. 


00:00:55 - [The camera pans in, showing at 
least a dozen puppets dressed in hazmat 
suits, with 8 individual instances of Sheriff 
Buddy, each with a different voice, speaking in 
unison. ] 


00:01:15 - Sheriff Buddy: It is never a good 
idea to keep secrets, especially from adults. 
Secrets are bad. 


00:01:47 - [As the camera continues to pan in, 
seven individual body bags can be seen, and 

several of the hazmat sporting puppet start to 

toss the body bags into the hole.] 


00:02:22 - Sheriff Buddy: Secrets will always 


get discovered, no matter how hard you try to 
hide them kids, so be sure not to lie and keep 
things from others. 


00:02:41 - [Once all of the body bags have 

been thrown into the hole, the concrete trucks 
move into position and begin to pour concrete 
into the hole. The transmission abruptly ends.]

SCP-2161: Blank Space 


Item #: SCP-2161 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2161-1 is to be contained 
in a warehouse (10,000 cubic metres minimum) and its rate of 
increase in volume monitored. Paper products are prohibited in the 
warehouse's vicinity. Electronic scanning and analysis of existing 
pages is to continue. 


SCP-2161-2 is confined to a limited set of Foundation files (including 
this document) on a secure server, with study continuing into its 
nature. Any document containing SCP-2161-2 must not be printed, 
nor attached to a non-secure file. 


Description: SCP-2161-1 is a collection of approximately 85 million 
pages of self-replicating A4 paper, the majority of which are blank. A 
small proportion of pages contain letters, figures or other markings, 
suggesting that SCP-2161-1 originally formed a single text. As of 
07/01/2015, SCP-2161-1 spontaneously generates blank paper at a 
rate of approximately 2 pages per hour, several orders of magnitude 
slower than when first contained. Books or similar paper products 
brought into contact with SCP-2161-1 become subject to the same 
effect, their volume increasing through the generation of blank 
space, with any original text eventually spread across thousands of 
pages. SCP-2161-1 was discovered at the former Adelaide home of 
Dr Harper, Australian physicist and author, after neighbours 
complained of an abandoned house surrounded by large amounts of 
litter. Foundation contacts were alerted when government refuse 
workers reported the anomalous increase in paper volume. 


SCP-2161-2 is a computer virus which increases the amount of 
white space in electronic documents in a manner similar to 


SCP-2161-1. Any file to which an SCP-2161-2-infected document is 
attached will itself become infected, but the infection is not evident in 
underlying code, suggesting an anomalous source. SCP-2161-2 
was detected through the Foundation's scanning of SCP-2161-1 
pages, and the inclusion of a photographic image in this document. 


+ Addendum SCP-2161-A: 


Interim scanning results 


5% complete: Algorithmic recombination of scanned 
pages containing text or other marks suggests that 
SCP-2161-1 was originally technical documentation 
involving complex mathematics. 


10% complete: Scanning now indicates calculations and 
schematics for a faster-than-light interstellar vessel. The 
mechanics of travel are unclear, but textual fragments 
imply that the blank space generated in SCP-2161-1 and 
-2 may be an exhaust by-product of the craft's propulsion 
system. Dr Harper, the presumed author, is to be sought 
for questioning. 


+ Addendum SCP-2161-B: 


Addendum SCP-2161-B: On 07/24/2015, cameras in 
SCP-2161-1's 


storage warehouse detected text appearing on new 
pages generated 


by SCP-2161-1. The text was collected and has been 
compiled

SCP-2162: ... as normal as blueberry pie 


Item #: SCP-2162 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Theta-5 
("The Bigger Boat") is to continue tracking SCP-2162 and advise the 
containment supervisor immediately of any change in heading. Two 
MTF 8-5 patrol craft are to remain 10km ahead of SCP-2162, and 
are to escort any commercial or passenger vessels out of the 
anomaly's path, on the pretext of naval exercises. If, based on its 
heading, SCP-2162 is forecast to make landfall on any inhabited 
island, local residents are to be evacuated from its path and a cover 
story is to be circulated of unseasonal cyclonic activity. Current 
calculations predict late 2021 as the likely date of arrival of 
SCP-2162 in densely populated areas - determination of effective 
containment measures before that date is a priority. 


Description: SCP-2162 is a mobile anomalous construct, which 
consists of a volume of highly concentrated Nitrogen (Nz) gas. 
Testing has shown that the interior of the construct has a pressure 
of approximately 101kPa (similar to atmospheric pressure at sea 
level), but with N2 concentrations significantly in excess of normal 
atmospheric conditions, potentially as high as 100% Nitrogen. 


The construct does not behave in the manner expected of a body of 
gas - for example, it is not affected by surrounding air pressure or 
weather patterns and is not impeded by buildings or other 
structures. Instead, SCP-2162 maintains a constant shape and 
speed, and the atmosphere within the boundaries of the contruct is 
spontaneously replaced with No, returning to its previous 
composition once SCP-2162 has passed. 


Incident SCP-2162-A revealed that SCP-2162 is comprised of three 
shapes, moving in formation: 


produce water vapor and lower the surrounding temperature. 
However, the effect may be considerably diminished, or enhanced, 
by the effects of the sun, wind, local topography, and/or local 
vegetation. 


In any space where SCP-244-1 has changed the environmental 
temperature and humidity to -37°C and a 125% humidity, there is a 
chance of encountering SCP-244-2, directly proportional to the 
amount of time that the area has been fogged over. SCP-244-2 is a 
mobile gaseous entity, visible only as a dense cloud of greyish fog. 
Whether it simply uses SCP-244-1's own fog as camouflage or is 
actually a part of said fog is still undetermined. Thermal imaging 
shows that SCP-244-2 is far colder than its surrounding 
environment. How SCP-244-2 achieves locomotion is not known, 
but testing and observation has made it clear that SCP-244-2 
usually remains motionless unless there is a source of heat nearby. 
SCP-244-2 is attracted to any source of heat energy, and will move 
to envelop such sources. Because of SCP-244-2's own inordinately 
cold internal temperature, any object that comes into direct contact 
with it usually flash-freezes. Biological heat sources (including 
humans) are invariably killed by the flash-freezing effect, and 
mechanical or electronic devices ice over. SCP-244-2 appears to 
grow in size as it "consumes" thermal energy. In a sufficiently large 
beclouded area, there may be multiple instances of SCP-244-2. 


SCP-244-2 will not attempt to consume heat sources with a 
temperature equal or greater than 600°C, and will actively move 
away from such sources if they are brought closer to it. For this 
reason, SCP-244-2 is easily repelled with burning wood or other 
combustive fuel fires. SCP-244-2 has been observed to disperse if 
exposed to great concentrations of heat in a short period of time. 


History: SCP-244-1 was first discovered in the basement of a 
recently emptied Chaos Insurgency-occupied military base, where it 
had completely filled the basement level with ice fog and at least two 
manifestations of SCP-244-2. It was retrieved by Dr. Morris with the 
assistance of Mobile Task Force Beta-62. It is unknown whether the 
Chaos Insurgency had placed SCP-244-1 in the basement as some 
sort of diversionary tactic or if they themselves were looking for it. 


Addendum: Whatever SCP-244-2 is composed of, it is certainly not 


* an arc 16km in length, 2km in width and 750m in height. The 
arc is convex, with the centre bending towards the direction of 
travel of the construct. 


* two wide cylinders 2km in diameter and 750m in height. The 
cylinders are 4km apart, aligned on either side of the mid-point 
of the arc. They follow the arc at a distance of 6km. 


The construct's shape has been verified by atmospheric testing. 
lonised air-glow at the leading edge of the construct, which has 
become visible at night as SCP-2162 has moved away from artificial 
light sources, has provided further evidence of its shape. 


SCP-2162 moves at a constant rate of 0.25km/hr, travelling in a 
fixed direction along a particular longitude or latitude. From 25 June 
2013, SCP-2162 travelled South along longitude 118.25°W from its 
point of origin near Los Angeles, CA. On 24 August 2015, the 
construct reached latitude 8.65°S and changed course, turning 90° 
and travelling West along that latitude.

Green/01 


Post-Incident Interview SCP-2162-A/Green/01 


Interviewed: Agent Green 

Interviewer: Assistant-Director Griffiths, Head 
of Site-15 Disciplinary Committee 

Date: 28 June 2013 


Foreword: Incident SCP-2162-A involved the 
initial discovery of the anomaly, which 
developed in the area West of Los Angeles, 
CA on 25 June 2013. Amnestics were 
dispensed across the affected area, and the 
event attributed to a gas leak from a nearby 
chemical plant. 758 civilian and 19 Foundation 
casualties are believed to have resulted from 
the incident. 


A-D Griffiths: Thank you for your time, Agent 


Green. We're just trying to understand the part 
you played in resolving this incident. 


Agent Green: No problem. Mind if | smoke? 


A-D Griffiths: | guess not. Could you start by 
explaining why you were in Los Angeles when 
the incident occurred. 


Agent Green: Not to be difficult, but if | tell 
you, you'll just have to redact it all in the 
report. Can we say | was on Foundation 
business unrelated to SCP-2162, and leave it 
at that? 


A-D Griffiths: Uh. Yes, | believe so. Right. So 
our communications department requested 
that you leave your assignment, and you drove 
towards Thousand Oaks. What were your first 
impressions? 


Agent Green: Frankly, it was chaos. Pi-11 
was still hours away. There were a few teams 
from Site-15 that had been scrambled, but no- 
one there knew how to deal with an anomaly 
like this. No offence - it's just not your usual 
scene. 


A-D Griffiths: None taken. 


Agent Green: From the initial observation 
point it looked like the goddamn angel of death 
had touched down. Cars had run into ditches, 
through houses and stores. You could see 
bodies had collapsed on the pavement, but no 
obvious injuries - they were just dead. It was 
eerie. There was no sign of what had caused it 
- no sight, no sound, no nothing. Just death. 


A-D Griffiths: And once you arrived at the 


observation point, what did you do? 


Agent Green: | went up to the guy in charge 
to get some instructions. Carter. He was your 
head of security? 


A-D Griffiths: Yes. 


Agent Green: I'm sorry. He gathered 
everyone up, stood in front of us on the top of 
the rise. He told us they had the site cordoned 
off, any civilians still alive had been evacuated. 
Said our job was to ensure no-one else went 
into the area, sit tight and wait for back-up. 
Then he asked for any questions, and ten 
seconds later, he collapsed. Unlucky bastard, 
he hadn't realised the skip was moving. 


A-D Griffiths: And what happened then? 


Agent Green: Well, all hell broke loose. Carter 
was convulsing, a couple of security guards 
went over to help him, and suddenly they 
collapsed as well. The rest of the group started 
yelling and running in every direction - some of 
them fell too. Me and a few of the others 
started backing away from where Carter had 
been. It was pretty bad - we had an idea where 
it had come from, but not what it was, or how 
fast it could move. 


A-D Griffiths: According to your report, you 
and the remainder of the Site-15 team 
returned to your vehicles and left the scene. 


Agent Green: We hauled ass, yes. | ended up 
with one of your crew in my car. A young 
researcher. 


A-D Griffiths: Doctor Zhen. Where did you 


drive to? 


Agent Green: South. South, away from the 
invisible wave of death. And towards the 
twelve thousand citizens of Malibu, who had 
no clue what was coming. We got on comms, 
and decided the vehicles would fan out and try 
to warn as many people as possible, cut the 
roads off, get an orderly evacuation going. Pi-1 
had a bird on the way to help. 


A-D Griffiths: And which part of Malibu did 
you cover? 


Agent Green: You already know | changed 
course. | just kept thinking about those guards 
collapsing. | mean, it was like they had 
suffocated, but one of them was in a hazmat 
suit with SCBA tanks. And | started wondering 
- what if they weren't breathing it in? What if all 
the air in their lungs - all the air in their tanks - 
was just gone? But it wasn't hunting 
behaviour, it was just constant arbitrary 
movement. It felt like... well you don't hunt 
reality benders for as long as | have without a 
sense of when an anomaly is manmade. And 
that's why | drove to the warehouse. 


A-D Griffiths: This is the hazardous materials 
storage warehouse in Norwalk? 


Agent Green: Right - Zhen told me about it. 
By the time we were halfway there, Pi-1 had 
managed to reestablish a perimeter, and they 
had realised how slowly the thing was moving. 
We knew we had some time, but we needed 
some way to see it, and | had an idea how. 


A-D Griffiths: Could you please elaborate? 


Agent Green: <silence, 4 seconds> You see 


that smoke ring? You know that you can do 
the same thing without the smoke, right? 


A-D Griffiths: Please Agent Green, for the 
benefit of the recording. 


Agent Green: Okay then, did you ever use 
invisible ink as a kid? No? You write in starch, 
or lemon juice, and then it turns visible when 
you wash the page with iodine. | had an 
invisible anomaly, and what | needed was the 
right type of wash. Zhen was the one who 
came up with nitrosyl chloride. 


A-D Griffiths: Which you knew to be 
hazardous, and commandeered without 
orders. 


Agent Green: Which was less hazardous than 
an invisible killer gas. And anyway, there were 
no orders - Site-15 had no command left, and 
Pi-1 were trying to convince half of Malibu to 
cancel their parties. The team leader thanked 
me afterwards - not to mention we probably 
gave them the idea for using ‘gas leak’ as the 
cover story. 


A-D Griffiths: Agent Green, we're trying to 
establish why you released thousands of litres 
of gas - a highly toxic mucosal irritant - near a 
major population center! 


Agent Green: Population centre? It was in the 
State Park by then, and the gas dispersed 
pretty quickly. And it worked, right? Coloured 
gas everywhere the anomaly wasn't - damn 
thing showed up clear as day. The Pi-1 bird 
could work out the dimensions and see how 
much of Malibu to evacuate - once they 
stopped laughing, of course. Funny that no- 
one had thought about what it would look like 


from above. | mean, Zhen said the gas would 
be coloured - he hadn't told me it was yellow. 
Kinda appropriate, don't you think? 


A-D Griffiths: What | think is that we're done. 


<recording ends> 


Update - 29 June 2013: Agent Green was issued both a disciplinary 
caution and (on Site Director review) a commendation for his actions 
during Incident SCP-2162-A. Over his objections, Agent Green was 
assigned to work with Agent Daniel Navarro to investigate the 
source of SCP-2162, and the possibility of anomalous artist 
involvement.

SCP-2163: Hollywood 


Item #: SCP-2163 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2163 cannot be physically 
contained due to its size, geographical distribution, and place in 
modern human culture. Instead, containment efforts are focused on 
early detection and neutralization of cognitohazards generated by 
SCP-2163. 


Due to the rate at which SCP-2163 generates new content, total 
manual inspection is impossible. Instead, the automated 
WATCHDOG system analyzes media created by SCP-2163 for 
common traits shared by most cognitohazards originating from it’. 
When combined with manual inspection of the highest risk sources, 
this system has a success rate of approximately 94%. Standard 
quarantine procedures are used to contain any cognitohazards 
detected this way. Recovered cognitohazards are documented 
under sub-designations of SCP-2163. 


Mutual sharing of detection statistics with the GOC has been 
authorized for the purposes of improving detection rates. Detection 
statistics for the prior month should be exchanged at the end of each 
month. A special liaison position has been created for this purpose. 


In the event of widespread dissemination of an SCP-2163 
cognitohazard, implementation of Protocol Blackout, in full or in part, 
is authorized. All personnel with clearance L4/2163 or above have 
Provisional Nuclear Authorization while Protocol Blackout is in 
effect. 


Further information on Protocol Blackout is restricted to personnel witt 
Blackout or above. 


Protocol Blackout is a series of emergency measures 


designed to halt or slow the spread of memetic and/or 
communicable cognitohazards that have been widely 
disseminated and/or threaten global dissemination 
resulting in one or more *K Class events. Protocol 
Blackout includes the following provisions: 


¢ Suppression of print and broadcast news media. 

¢ Release of aggressive, infectious, destructive, self- 
replicating computer programs with the intent of 
disabling or destroying some or all of the global 
computing and internet infrastructure. 

Sabotage of national and transnational wide area 
synchronous grids. 

Destruction of key global communications relays 
and interconnections. 

¢ Mass amnesticization of the global populace. 

¢ Termination of infected civilians. Collateral 
damage amongst the uninfected populace is 
expected and allowed. 

High-altitude detonation of nuclear devices in order 
to disable or destroy large segments of the global 
electrical infrastructure. 

¢ Release of anomalous counter-memes. 


Additionally, Protocol Blackout grants sweeping 
provisional clearances to members of the Memetics and 
Cognitohazards Department while in effect. 


Description: SCP-2163 is the North American film industry, 
commonly referred to with the metonym "Hollywood", where much of 
the industry has traditionally been located. SCP-2163 is one of the 
largest sources of cognitohazards, generating more than 300 
cognitohazards a year@. These cognitohazards are largely 
generated unintentionally, arising accidentally during the course of 
normal film production. 


These cognitohazards vary markedly in form and effect, but there 
are several traits that are shared by many of them. Namely: 


¢ All cognitohazards produced by SCP-2163 are communicable, 
although to varying degrees. 


¢ Visual cognitohazards often contain rapid changes in 
brightness, contrast, and color. Most are short sequences of 
film less than five seconds long. Very few are still images. 
Auditory cognitohazards rarely contain human speech. Most 
are short, repetitive pieces of music containing string 
instruments and/or synthesized sounds. Those that do contain 
human speech are usually behavior altering in their effects. 
Infohazards are uncommon. When they do appear, they are 
often lines of dialogue, monologue, or narration. These are the 
hardest to detect automatically, and often the most 
dangerous. 


Research into safe means of neutralizing SCP-2163 (and similar 
massive cognitohazard generators) is ongoing. Currently, it is 
impossible to do so without causing a mass cultural shift. This has 
been deemed an acceptable consequence if/when the rate of 
cognitohazard generation surpasses the rate of detection by more 
than 12%. 


Addendum 2163-1: The documentation for SCP-2163-1995-201, 
SCP-2163-2005-058, and SCP-2163-2013-166 is included below. 
Together, they are considered representative of the cognitohazards 
generated by SCP-2163. Access to the documentation for other 
SCP-2163 cognitohazards may be limited by clearance level. 


Item #: SCP-2163-1995-201 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: 
SCP-2163-1995-201 is contained using standard 
containment procedures for generic Safe-class 
communicable cognitohazards. 


Description: SCP-2163-1995-201 is a sequence of 60 
frames of film (approximately 2.5 seconds long at 
standard playback speed) from the film Toy Story. The 
cognitohazard is located in the upper right corner of the 
screen, and consists of a series of rapid changes in color 
and brightness caused by the gesturing of one of the 
characters. When viewed, this cognitohazard causes 


viewers to believe that they are sentient children's toys. 
Persons affected by this delusion will cease all voluntary 
muscle movement when in the presence of unaffected 
persons. 


During production, several members of the film's 
animation team were affected by SCP-2163-1995-201 
before it could be recovered by Foundation agents. 
These individuals were successfully treated with 
amnestics. Unaffected members of the production crew 
were dosed with amnestics where necessary to preserve 
secrecy. 


Item #: SCP-2163-2005-058 
Object Class: Safe; Euclid sub-entities 


Special Containment Procedures: 
SCP-2163-2005-058 is contained using standard 
containment procedures for generic Safe-class 
communicable cognitohazards. 


Individuals affected by SCP-2163-2005-058 are to be 
contained in standard humanoid containment cells, 
following the guidelines for containment of non- 
anomalous humans. 


Description: SCP-2163-2005-058 is the entire initial 
narration track of the English version of the documentary 
March of the Penguins. Listening to the track triggers a 
strong migratory instinct amongst human listeners. 
Affected individuals have all expressed a desire to travel 
towards the nearest geographic pole. If prevented from 
doing so, these individuals become increasingly hostile 
towards their detainers, often resorting to violence in an 
attempt to escape. Amnestic treatments have so far met 
with no success, requiring the indefinite containment of 
affected individuals. 


SCP-2163-2005-058 was recovered by Foundation 
agents before it could be released. Individuals involved 


normal water vapor. At those temperatures, mere water would surely 
become a solid, as indeed would most gases. However, taking 
samples of SCP-244-2's material has proven difficult, as it is both 
gaseous and freezes most devices applied to it. | suspect that this 
may be related to the [DATA EXPUNGED] in SCP-244-1, but 
studying that mineral has a host of problems all its own. -Dr. Morris 


« SCP-243 | SCP-244 | SCP-245 » 


in the production of the film were dosed with amnestics, 
and a new narration track was recorded. Following 
standard protocols for the containment of semi-notable 
persons, individuals affected by SCP-2163-2005-058 
have been retroactively removed from public records 
where possible, and replaced where not. 


Item #: SCP-2163-2013-166 
Object Class: Neutralized 
Special Containment Procedures: N/A 


Description: SCP-2163-2013-166 is the entirety of the 
documentary Blackfish. The film is a delayed-response 
cognitohazard that causes affected individuals to 
develop a hatred of the taste of fish. If left untreated, 
affected individuals will cease all consumption of fish and 
fish-flavored items, and will begin to vigorously 
encourage others to do so as well. 


SCP-2163-2013-166 avoided detection by both 
Foundation and GOC monitoring systems, resulting in its 
public release and dissemination. Once its existence was 
discovered, a joint Foundation/GOC research group was 
formed to develop an inoculation meme in order to 
prevent the collapse of the world fishing industry. This 
meme was then distributed via advertisements for 
Foundation front companies. A mass amnesticization 
campaign, codenamed Operation Fish Food, was 
undertaken to treat those already affected by 
SCP-2163-2013-166. This campaign is considered a 
success, despite the USD in lost profits that 
occurred before its conclusion. 


In the wake of these events, WATCHDOG's detection 
algorithms have been modified in such a way as to 
reduce the chances of a similar event reoccurring. The 
exact nature of these modifications is restricted to

SCP-2164: Magical Two: Electric Boogaloo 


Item #: SCP-2164 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2164-A is to be kept in 
modified humanoid containment cell. A Foundation expert in 
Renaissance-era occult practices is to be assigned to SCP-2164-A 
at all times and review containment procedures every six months. All 
furnishings in SCP-2164-A's containment chamber are to be made 
of plastics or synthetic fibers, and Agrimonia eupatoria (agrimony) is 
to be planted along the perimeter of the cell. These plants are to be 
tended to by maintenance personnel weekly and any ailing plants 
replaced immediately. All personnel entering SCP-2164 outside of 
testing scenarios are to don protective garlands of Laurus nobilis 
(bay laurel) or Ocimum basilicum (sweet basil). Good behavior on 
SCP-2164-A's part may be rewarded with access to Salvia officinalis 
(common sage), Fraxinus excelsior (European ash), one small white 
beeswax candle, and other plant and animal materials documented 
in Document-2164-A. Under no circumstances is SCP-2164-A to be 
supplied with black candles, Artemisia absinthum (wormwood), 
Juniperus communis (common juniper), Santalum album (Indian 
sandalwood), Cedrus libani (Lebanon cedar), Rosa moschata (musk 
rose), or any of the other restricted herbs or materials listed in 
Document-2164-A. Female personnel advised to remain cautious 
around SCP-2164-A. 


SCP-2164-B is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell. 
SCP-2164-B's food is to be cultivated on-site to ensure that all its 
meals are organic, non-genetically modified, and completely gluten- 
free. SCP-2164-B may be rewarded for cooperation with various 
small quartz crystals, unprocessed amethysts, turmeric, red 
ginseng, the use of one yoga mat, and approved reading materials. 
A Foundation psychiatrist who has been briefed on New Age 
spirituality is to examine SCP-2164-B under the guise of an "angel 


therapist" and encourage its cooperation with the Foundation. Only 
D-class personnel scoring below 115 on the Stanford-Binet IQ Test 
and below +10 on the Foundation Expanded Intelligence Test for 
Non-Anomalous Humans or born before 1994 are approved for 
testing with SCP-2164-B. 


Under no circumstances are SCP-2164-A and SCP-2164-B to come 
within 100 meters of each other unless separated by soundproofed 
walls and accompanied by experts in negotiation. 


Description: SCP-2164 refers to two circular areas, two meters in 
diameter, each surrounding two humanoid entities. Within 
SCP-2164, scientific laws as commonly understood break down and 
can be manipulated according to set principles by the humanoids 
within SCP-2164. These principles seem to differ between the two 
manifestations of SCP-2164. 


SCP-2164-A is an elderly Caucasian male appearing to be around 
eighty years of age but claiming to be about years old. SCP-2164- 
A can manipulate matter within its range of effect using occult rituals 
or herbal concoctions in the Renaissance tradition. All reality 
alterations (herbal mixtures, incantations, etc.) lose their effect 
outside SCP-2164-A's effect radius. 


SCP-2164-B is a Caucasian female in her early thirties formerly 
known as Jennifer . SCP-2164-B spent its life before 
Foundation recovery in Orange County, California. SCP-2164-B can 
perform small reality alterations with the aid of common crystals and 
non-corporeal entities, as well as heal various illnesses using 
homeopathic techniques. It also displays anomalous knowledge of 
subjects within its effect radius. As with SCP-2164-A, these effects 
reverse outside the one meter radius around SCP-2164-B. 


SCP-2164-A and -B have knowledge of and are mildly antagonistic 
towards each other. 


Tests Involving SCP-2164-A 
Test 1 


Procedure: SCP-2164-A given 20 g each mercury, 


powdered iron oxide, lead(Il) chromate, calcium 
carbonate, charcoal, 99.99% pure gold leaf, a crucible, 
and a pelican vessel. 

Results: SCP-2164-A took all provided materials except 
gold. Over the course of four weeks, SCP-2164-A 
conducted a complex series of alchemical procedures 
including [DATA EXPUNGED BY ORDER OF O5 
COMMAND]. Resultant object leaks clear amber-colored 
fluid, which SCP-2164-A claims has a strong 
rejuvenation factor. Fluid administered to 75 year old D- 
Class with advanced Parkinson's Disease and chronic 
rheumatoid arthritis. Subject's tremors and joint pain 
vanished and subject displayed drastically increased 
visual clarity and endurance. All restorative effects of the 
fluid reverse when subject leaves SCP-2164. Subject 
terminated after resisting attempts to remove it from 
SCP-2164. 


Test 2 


Procedure: SCP-2164-A given various common 
essential oils and dried herbs, along with one copper 
kettle. 

Results: SCP-2164-A chose one vial each of Rosa 
moschata oil (musk rose), Lavandula angustifolia oil 
(common lavender), Cinnamomum verum oil (cinnamon), 
and dried Quercus robur (English oak) leaves. 
SCP-2164-A waited until first day of the waxing moon 
before boiling the mixture in the kettle. Audio surveillance 
shows SCP-2164-A chanting periodically in an obscure 
dialect of Latin. SCP-2164-A then attempted to lure 
Junior Researcher Aaliyah Freeman into its event radius, 
claiming the fluid would increase her intelligence and 
attractiveness to male personnel. Junior Researcher 
Freeman alerted Senior Researcher Eric Stanton. 
D-23944 was dispatched and compelled to drink the fluid 
over the objections of SCP-2164-A. Subject immediately 
fell to the floor in front of SCP-2164-A, threw her arms 
around its ankles, and began to profess her infatuation 
with it. Effect disappeared outside SCP-2164 only to 


reappear when D-23944 re-enters perimeter. D-23944 
expresses revulsion towards SCP-2164-A when outside 
effect radius. SCP-2164-A's privileges are revoked and 
containment procedures updated. 


This is ridiculous. SCP-2164-A's actions hardly present a breach risk 
if the effect reverses a few steps away. Discipline him for this 
infraction but we could still benefit from testing him. -Senior 
Researcher Eric Stanton 


Request granted -Site Director Jacob DeLozier 
Test 3 


Procedure: SCP-2164-A requests round black wax 
pendant, essential oils of Juniperus communis (common 
juniper), Santalum album (Indian sandalwood), and 
Cedrus libani (Lebanon cedar), and a small dagger made 
entirely of silver. Request granted with the exception of 
the dagger. 

Results: SCP-2164-A carved an intricate symbol into the 
black wax with a fingernail before anointing it with each 
of the three supplied oils. SCP-2164-A then tucked the 
wax into its pocket, anointed its left index and middle 
fingers with the remaining oil, and chanted in an 
unidentified language. Research Assistant Mark Wagner 
was accosted by SCP-2164-A and convinced to enter 
SCP-2164 in exchange for a power charm and control of 
the site. Once Research Assistant Wagner entered 
SCP-2164, SCP-2164-A touched him with his left index 
and middle finger while repeating its earlier chant. 
Wagner's higher brain functions immediately ceased, 
leaving Wagner unconscious but highly open to 
suggestion. SCP-2164-A moved to the edge of its cell 
and commanded Wagner to uproot the Agrimonia 
eupatoria hedge. The Foundation occult specialist and 
containment expert at the time, Dr. Elizabeth Perry, 
retrieved seven sprigs of basil from the site cafeteria and 
entered SCP-2164. When SCP-2164-A attempted to 
touch Dr. Perry, it lost consciousness, enabling Dr. Perry 
to retrieve Wagner. Wagner revived once outside 


SCP-2164, and SCP-2164-A regained consciousness 
thirty minutes later. Mark Wagner was demoted to Level 
0 personnel, Senior Researcher Eric Stanton was issued 
a formal reprimand, and Dr. Perry was recognized for her 
quick thinking in preventing a containment breach. 


Test 4 


Procedure: To test whether any sapient being could 
manipulate reality within SCP-2164, Dr. Elizabeth Perry 
entered SCP-2164 wearing one long purple tunic, one 
wreath of basil, and one tapered, sanded branch of /lex 
aquifolium (common holly) engraved with the astrological 
symbols for the seven planets. 

Results: SCP-2164-A produced a beam of glowing red 
light and aimed it at Dr. Perry. Dr. Perry chanted a Latin 
charm against evil and successfully deflected the beam 
with the /lex aquifolium branch. The beam exited 
SCP-2164 and vanished. SCP-2164-A registered shock 
at this development. Dr. Perry chastised SCP-2164-A, 
referring to Foundation containment as "Limbo" and 
punishment for misuse of its powers. SCP-2164-A 
expressed remorse and has since fully adjusted to 
containment. 


Tests Involving SCP-2164-B 
Test 1 


Procedure: SCP-2164-B given a 20 mL vial of thyroxine, 
three seven-liter jugs of distilled water, and a one liter 
water bottle with a screw-on cap. 

Results: SCP-2164-B poured one liter of distilled water 
into the bottle and diluted 1 mL thyroxine in it before 
sealing the bottle and succussing it ten times against its 
open palm. After succussion it disposed of 990 mL 
water/thyroxine solution and mixed 990 mL fresh water 
into the bottle before succussing it again. SCP-2164-B 
repeated the process until all jugs of distilled water were 
empty. When questioned about the number of dilutions 
SCP-2164-B tilted its head and replied that it hated 


"weak-ass cures". It then administered 10 mL of the 
diluted solution to D-99746, suffering from advanced 
Graves' disease with pronounced exophtalmos. 
D-99746's eyes immediately retreated back into their 
normal position in their sockets. Subject no longer 
experienced tremors and CT scans within the effect 
radius showed subject's thyroid had shrunk back to a 
healthy size. Effect reversed once subject left SCP-2164. 
Testing of the solution both inside and outside the effect 
radius showed that no molecules of the original thyroxine 
remained in the solution. 


Test 2 


Procedure: D-3047 brought into effect radius. Subject 
has no known medical conditions. 

Results: Subject immediately takes on a dulled affect. 
SCP-2164-B attempts to engage subject in conversation. 
Subject demonstrates severe echolalia and begins to 
vigorously flap his hands. Symptoms reverse outside 
effect radius. Repeated tests with various D-class show 
a 55% occurrence of the phenomenon, with tests 
involving low-level Foundation personnel showing 
occurrences up to 85%. Upon reviewing medical records 
of test subjects, it was determined that about 60% of 
subjects who have received all recommended 
vaccinations displayed the above symptoms. When 
asked, SCP-2164-B rolled her eyes and stated "Love 
them, protect them, never inject them" in an exasperated 
tone. SCP-2164-B refused to elaborate further. 


Test 3 


Procedure: D-80044 was introduced to SCP-2164-B. 
D-80044 was born in 1994 and scored a 145 on the 
Stanford-Binet |Q Test and a +3.30 on the Foundation 
Expanded Intelligence Test for Non-Anomalous Humans. 
D-80044 was twenty years old at the time of the 
experiment. 

Results: [DATA EXPUNGED] After killing ten guards, 
three researchers, and critically injuring the site director, 


D-800044 was ambushed by Junior Researcher 
Maekawa who managed to disengage the unconscious 
SCP-2164-B from D-80044's back. As the two separated, 
D-80044 reverted to his usual mental abilities and was 
summarily terminated. SCP-2164-B was successfully 
revived and treated for minor injuries. Although 
SCP-2164-B was physically unharmed, the incident 
caused it to sink into a state of depression for weeks 
afterward. SCP-2164-B made statements during this 
time such as, "How could this happen? His aura was so 
blue", "The children were supposed to bring peace", and 
"| thought | could help him achieve his true potential". 
SCP-2164-B has since recovered, but it refuses to 
interact with individuals matching the parameters in the 
containment procedures. 


Incident Log 2164-1 

SCP-2164-A and SCP-2164-B were introduced to each other in a 
controlled testing scenario. The following is an audio transcript of the 
encounter. 


<Begin Log> 
SCP-2164-B: Hey! What the fuck are you doing here? 


SCP-2164-A: | am ooth to mynystriden to Nature, whose 
corages be seeke with thy lowmychnesse. 


SCP-2164-B: Lowmychnesse my ass. | can't believe 
these people haven't blasted you to smithereens. You're 
ruining everything, you know that?

fraudes as thee. 


SCP-2164-B: Frauds?! I'm trying to save the world from 
your dark ritual bullshit! Didn't you guys, like, cover you 


in leeches if you had a cough? Now we know if 
Monsanto kept their evil little fingers off our food we 
wouldn't even have coughs. This is the future, 
Methuselah. We're enlightened, higher beings now. No 
way I'll let the Age of Aquarius be stained with your blood 
sacrifice nonsense! 


SCP-2164-A: This "Monsanto" necromancer | knowe 
not. How cowde he men of my day acursen a he of the 
nere presente be? 


SCP-2164-B: Well, it's not just them. Everyone knows 
you guys had way low vibrations because of all that witch 
burning and Black Plague. You got everything wrong 
about guardian angels too! Like, with all your hellfire- 
and-brimstone shit? Us evolved people know angels are, 
like, all about love and peace and self-acceptance and 
stuff. 


SCP-2164-A: May Albertus Magnus and all his 
feloshippe blind to thine hauteinesse be! The engels of 
the baleful Lord are far more terrifying grimful than thine 
tame, milde wights. Thine milk-minded pets resemblen

SCP-2164-B: That's it! I've had it with your psycho 
mumbo jumbo! You're about to get your chakras “all* out 
of alignment! 

<End Log> 


Closing Statement: SCP-2164-A and SCP-2164-B 
charged into each other's SCP-2164 effect radius. 
SCP-2164-A was observed to raise his staff and shout a 
Latin incantation to Azrael, the angel of Death, as 
SCP-2164-B rolled her eyes upwards into their sockets, 
faced her palms towards SCP-2164-A, and vocalized a 
low "ohm". Observers of both the event itself and the 
video footage express extreme psychological distress 
after this point. Under extreme sedation, observers 
report simultaneously witnessing both SCP-2164-A's 


SCP-245: SCP-RPG 


Item #: SCP-245 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Copies of SCP-245-1 are to be 
contained on airgapped computers. These computers are to be 
located on floor 10, section C of Site-8s. Individual iterations of 
SCP-245-1 are to be monitored and completed on a regular basis to 
ensure continued containment. 


Major changes to SCP-245-1's gameworld are to be reported to 
SCP-245's project head. Under no circumstances should 
SCP-245-1's master password be revealed to any entities 
encountered in SCP-245-1. 


Description: Please see SCP-245-1.zip for information relating 
to SCP-245.

SCP-2165: Irredeemable 


Item #: SCP-2165 
Object Class: None 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2165 is to be left to its 
own devices. It is not to be acknowledged in any way outside of this 
reference. This reference is to be kept in an extra-temporal, extra- 
spatial location. All is as it has been. All is as it always was. 


Description: SCP-2165 is irredeemable. It is unknown if SCP-2165 
is a Sapient entity, a non-sapient creature, an inanimate object or a 
metaphysical concept. This has been deemed irrelevant by 
containment personnel. SCP-2165 has performed an action or a 
series of actions that caused it to be considered beyond absolution 
by universal consensus. The exact nature of this action or actions 
has since been erased from causality by universal consensus. As 
such, neither SCP-2165 nor any information about it are ever 
acknowledged by any other being, object, force, or concept. 


Addendum: There will be no forgiveness. 


« SCP-2164 | SCP-2165 | SCP-2166 » 


SCP-2166: Foot Pope 


Item #: SCP-2166 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Foundation agents are to 
regularly monitor outdoor activity in elementary schools within a 20- 
kilometer radius of the location of SCP-2166's initial appearance. 
Should any children be observed engaging in SCP-2166 activity, 
field agents are to be dispatched to the corresponding school(s) to 
administer amnestics to all students involved once the current round 
of SCP-2166 has concluded. 


Should any children engaging in SCP-2166 be joined by an 
unfamiliar young child who is not present on any available class 
listings, the agent is to follow said individual to determine their place 
of residence for further Foundation observation. 


Description: SCP-2166 is an anomalous children's playground 
game, colloquially known as "Foot Pope". Several slightly-differing 
iterations! of the game are known to exist, but the following 
instructions are consistent across all versions: 


« The game requires three or more players and a space that 
has at least three different types of ground terrain2. 

* One player is selected to be the "Foot Pope". At the start of 
the first round, all players assemble in a circle around the 
current Foot Pope, who will chant a rhyme, "Foot Pope, Foot 
Pope, blessing feet / Showing where all steps should meet" 
and will pat the right foot of each player assembled. 

¢ When the Foot Pope has finished the rhyme and "feet 

blessing", the players disperse at a run and chant a reply, 

"Foot Pope, Foot Pope, stand ahead, / What land must devout 

feet tread?" 

The Foot Pope will then call out a type of terrain, and all 

players must place both feet on the terrain as quickly as 


possible. The player(s) who fulfills this task the slowest is "out" 
for the remaining duration of the round. 

« The Foot Pope states the chant again, with the players 
chanting the response again, and the round continues until all 
but one other player is "out". The remaining player becomes 
the new Foot Pope to start the next round. 


SCP-2166's anomalous effects are believed to manifest upon 
completion of the first Foot Pope chant call-and-response’. When 
the chant has been said, all players who are designated "out" during 
the round find their feet permanently affixed to the ground they are 
standing on until the end of the round. Attempts to circumvent this 
situation by removing articles of clothing worn on feet are 
unsuccessful; said clothing will also remain permanently affixed to 
the individual. 


Those affected by SCP-2166's primary effect report feeling only mild 
discomfort. It has been determined that should an individual affected 
by SCP-2166 sit down while affixed to the ground, they will find that 
they are able to adjust their position freely so long as they retain 
some contact with the ground they were previously standing on4. 


Investigation into further nuances of SCP-2166's gameplay and 
modification potential is ongoing (see Addendum 2166-2). 


Addendum 2166-1: Based on partial interview data collected by 
Foundation field agents, it is believed that knowledge of 
SCP-2166 originated at Geyser View Elementary School of 
Portland, Oregon where a primary-grade student introduced the 
game instructions to other children during recess. School documents 
show no record of such a student in the district system, and no 
guardian figure was ever seen accompanying the child; rather, the 
child simply stated that they were to wait for their friends at "the 
library" after class was dismissed. Staff of libraries within walking 
distance of Geyser View Elementary School report that they have 
never seen the child before. 


Addendum 2166-2: As of / /  , experimental staff-monitored trial 
playthroughs of SCP-2166 have uncovered the following 
information: 


Based on empirical observation, there are only two ways to end 
SCP-2166's anomalous effects. The first is for a round of SCP-2166 
to end naturally, with a new Foot Pope either starting another round 
or declining to say the starting chant. The second (discovered in an 
experimental Foundation facility) is for a current Foot Pope to 
declare, "No land" in response to the players’ chant, at which point 
the game has ended and any immobilized players are freed. 


It is believed that a game of SCP-2166 can continue indefinitely, 
with the accompanying anomalous effects enduring until a game is 
properly ended. Currently, the longest Foundation-held game of 
SCP-2166 was recorded at approximately 133 minutes. 


Attempting to cheat during SCP-2166 (including deviating from the 
rules, arguing with a Foot Pope, and leaving the game early) has 
resulted in participants experiencing an unpleasant "burning" 
sensation in their feet until the conclusion of the current round of 
SCP-2166. In one extreme case, the involved individual's shoes 
disappeared and reappeared permanently affixed to their ears until 
the conclusion of the game. 


Misspeaking the "Foot Pope" chant, whether by accident or 
intention, results in all the players (including the active Foot Pope) 
having their feet affixed to the ground until the chant is said properly. 


Footnotes 

1. Different iterations involving greater numbers of players take into 
account more complex terrain such as climbable playstructure 
equipment, the introduction of a "Foot Devil" that can "freeze" 
players, and other such modifications. 

2. Acceptable terrain includes asphalt, concrete, woodchips, sand, 
grass, dirt, running track, and so on. 

3. All Foundation-run trials attempting to replicate manifestation of 
SCP-2166's anomaly failed when the preliminary chant was not 
completed at least once. 

4. This effect persists even with removal of the section of ground the 
player stood on from the rest of the terrain space; the player simply 
moves with the section of ground removed.

SCP-2167: Demon Gate Amplifier 


Item #: SCP-2167 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2167 is to be stored ina 
soundproofed containment locker, connected to a CD player, four 
5W speakers measuring at minimum 4 on the infinite grade 
impairment scale! (hereafter IGIS), and a 12VDC 5A uninterruptible 
power supply with at least 300 amp-hours of capacity. The speakers 
are to be positioned around SCP-2167 at 90+5° angles ata 
maximum distance of 0.5 m. The locker is also to contain a small 
number of music CDs and vinyl records containing non-sensitive 
material alongside SCP-2167. 


All adjustment knobs on SCP-2167 are to be kept at the minimum 
possible value. The CD player is to be configured to continuously 
play classical music at a very low volume. 


No other speakers or audio devices are to be brought within 10 m of 
the containment area at any time, or used in areas directly above or 
below containment. All sound recordings are to be stored securely 
and deleted once no longer needed. 


SCP-2167 is to be internally inspected at least once per month for 
any signs of wear or potential failure of any of its components. Any 
components showing signs of wear are to be replaced. All 
electrolytic capacitors are to be tested, and any capacitor showing 
values outside its nominal tolerance is to be replaced with an 
equivalent part. 


All testing is to be conducted in a soundproofed room measuring 
4.8 m wide, 7.8 m long, and 3 m high?. Except per specific testing 
protocol, SCP-2167 is to remain connected to the CD player and 
UPS at all times. During standard testing it is to be connected to a 
pair of 25W speakers scoring at minimum 5 on the infinite grade 


impairment scale. The speakers and a chair are to be positioned ina 
golden cuboid arrangement as per document 2167-F. 


Description: SCP-2167 is a "Gauchito-78" audio amplifier 
measuring 100mm wide, 190mm long, and 60mm thick. The 
amplifier case is made of unpainted cast aluminum-zinc. The front 
face of the device has three adjustment knobs, with the labels 
"gain", "volume", and "tone" etched into the case, as well as a script 
logo giving the device name and an unknown graphic icon. It 
possesses two 1/4" audio jacks located on either side of the device, 
and a 12VDC barrel jack located in the top edge. 


When connected to a set of speakers, a power supply, and an audio 
source via the jacks on its sides, SCP-2167 will function as a signal 
amplifier, amplifying the signal voltage according to the position of 
the "gain" knob, and performing high-frequency filtering according to 
the position of the "tone" knob. 


Computer measurements of the audio output indicate that the 
physical intensity of sound emitted from a speaker driven by 
SCP-2167 is typical for a hobby audio amplifier. However, any 
subject who listens to SCP-2167's output will perceive it as being 
much louder than would be expected for non-anomalous sound with 
the same physical intensity. The perceived loudness corresponds to 
the position of the "volume" knob. 


The psychoacoustic loudness $S_{out}$, measured in sones, is 
characterized by Equation (1), where $S_{in}$ is the expected 
loudness as determined from physical measurement, $k_v$ is the 
position of the "volume" dial in the range 0-10, and $ H (m,n)$ is the 
real extension of the Ackermann-—Péter function. 


(1) 
\peginfequation} S_{out} = H (k_v, c_1 S {in} ) \end{equation} 


ci has been experimentally determined to be approximately 0.93. 


Experiments with volume settings higher than around 4.5 have not 
been able to determine if this trend continues, as the intense pain 
interferes with the subject's ability to accurately gauge the loudness. 


Chronic exposure to SCP-2167 does result in permanent hearing 
damage as would be expected from non-anomalous sounds played 
at the perceived volume, but does not lead to total hearing loss. 
Acute exposure over a short period does not result in permanent 
hearing loss. 


High-quality recordings and subsequent reproductions of 
SCP-2167's output are able to produce the same effects on listeners 
as SCP-2167 itself. This also extends to sufficiently high-quality 
digital recordings. The effect does not manifest if the combined 
processing yields an IGIS of under 4.7. 


When disconnected from a set of speakers, SCP-2167 will cause 
nearby sets of speakers to vibrate on their own, producing audio 
output as if connected to SCP-2167. Additionally, when not provided 
with an audio source, SCP-2167 will instead output the contents of 
random audio recordings nearby. This may include potentially 
sensitive or infohazardous recordings, and may compromise 
security or result in other containment failures. SCP-2167 also 
manifests both of these effects when disconnected from a power 


supply. 


The area of effect relative to SCP-2167 can be modeled by the 
inequality $l(\vec x) > 0$, where $l(\vec x)$ is described by Equation 
(2). 


(2) 

\begin{align} I(\vec x) = 1 - {\left\|\vec x\right\|}\int_0*1 p(t\,\vec x)\, H 
\left(-\frac{\partial p(t\,\vec x)}{\partial t}\right)\; dt \end{align} 

(3) 

\begin{align} p(\vec x) = c_2 \sum_i \log(q_i + 1) \exp( -c_3\left\| \vec 
x - \vec v_i \right\| *2) \end{align} 


In these equations, $\vec v_i$ and $q_i$ represent the location 
relative to SCP-2167 and the IGIS of all audio devices, $H(x)$ is the 
Heaviside step function, and co and c3 are constants whose values 
have experimentally been determined to be: 


Co = 6.152 m1 
c3 = 0.468 m-2 


In the case of the second effect, $l(\vec v_i)$ represents the (non- 
normalized) probability that a given recording will be played.

Disassembly and examination of SCP-2167 reveals a fairly 
advanced construction for the supposed date of manufacture based 
on its outer appearance. 


The amplifier circutry consists of a green double-sided fiberglass 
printed circuit board with white silkscreen printing on one side, 
measuring 80mm by 150mm and containing all through-hole 
components. The external controls, audio jacks, and power are 
connected to the board via 16-gauge insulated lead wires. 


Analysis of circuitry indicates an operating principle much different 
from conventional audio amplifiers. 


Of particular note about this board is its unusual component 
arrangement. The board features a silkscreened seal of Solomon 
occupying the main portion of the board, and its various components 
are arranged to correspond with the glyphs of the seal, and the 
traces are arranged to follow the seal's pattern. 


Also of note is the unusual integrated circuit featured in the center of 
the board. The IC is packaged as a 15-pin TO-3 metal can package, 
measuring 8mm high and 22mm in diameter. The IC is marked as a 
"PL LM21D67", with a date code "7616" indicating it was 
manufactured in the 16th week of 1976. 


There are no IC manufacturers that have been known to use the 
manufacturer code "PL", and a "LM21D67" chip is not known to 
have been produced at any time by any manufacturer. 


Scanning electron microscopy imaging has revealed unusual 
structures on the silicon IC die inconsistent with any known theory of 
operations. 


+ show SEM imagery 


Currently the most credible theory regarding its operation is that 
SCP-2167 takes advantage of the so-called "demon effect", using 
the interactions of its eponymous demon particle with electrical 
currents, to create high-linearity demon gate junctions capable of 
amplifying a signal with very low loss of fidelity. It is still incompletely 
understood how this enables SCP-2167 to manifest its anomalous 
properties, but research is ongoing. For a more complete 
explanation of demonics see A Brief Explanation of Demonics.

SCP-246: Prophetic Projector 


Item #: SCP-246 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-246 is to be kept ina 
wooden crate within Site- 's secure storage. Researchers who 
requisition its use for experimentation are responsible for their own 
room arrangements. SCP-246 is otherwise not to be removed from 
its container, especially for recreational use. 


Description: SCP-246 is a 16-millimeter film projector. When 
activated, SCP-246's projection lamp lights up and the reels begin 
turning. When the projector is pointed at a screen or other white 
surface, a film appears, even though SCP-246's film (hereafter 
referred to as SCP-246-01) does not pass in front of the projection 
lamp. 


The film feeder has been welded shut, making any attempt to load 
SCP-246-01 into the second reel impossible. Requests to cut 
through or replace the feeder have been denied, due to the 
possibility of inadvertently breaking SCP-246. Examination of 
SCP-246-01 suggests that it is blank while inert, though high-speed 
photography shows images on the film when SCP-246 is in its active 
state. Analysis of these images is underway. When replaced with 
any other roll of 16 mm film, SCP-246 continues functioning as 
described below. After using SCP-246 with a reel other than 
SCP-246-01, that reel exhibits similar properties to SCP-246-01. 
Microspectrometer analysis of reels made blank by SCP-246-01 has 
shown anomalous forms of [REDACTED]. Further analysis by 
Foundation researchers other than Dr. is not permitted. 


Despite SCP-246-01's content or lack thereof, when activated, 
SCP-246 projects a short film in the style of 1950s educational films. 


SCP-246 seems to have a limited degree of awareness, as a female 


Independently Powered: 

The Gauchito 78 can be operated independently of any 
external power supply, for when you need to rock it out 
on the go. Or, connect it up for even higher-quality sound 
and superior performance. 


Demon Gate Amplifier circuitry: 

The Gauchito 78 uses the new DGJT demon gate 
junction transistor, the latest in solid-state demonics, 
making it a new standard for audio amplifiers with its 
superior sound quality. 


Patented Overamp Technology: 

No longer be limited by your other equipment! The 
Gauchito 78's patented Overamp feature allow you to 
turn up the volume 'to infinity and beyond’.

SCP-2168: Progress 


Item #: SCP-2168 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: The areas within a two 
kilometer radius surrounding instances of SCP-2168 are to be 
marked off as off-limit to civilian access under the guise of a 
governmental project to modernize the region. Personnel stationed 
in the surroundings of SCP-2168's instances should avoid 
approaching the aforementioned area, unless directed otherwise by 
the Research Team. Foundation operatives are to keep track of the 
size and population of unaffected towns in order to prevent the 
emergence of new instances. 


Due to the self-containing nature of instances of SCP-2168-A and 
their docility towards the personnel, no special procedure is 
necessary. Whenever an instance of SCP-2168-A is required for 
interview or testing, it should be taken from its residence inside 
SCP-2168 by at least two unarmed members of the personnel. 


Description: SCP-2168 is a phenomenon occurring in rural towns in 
the Uruguayan countryside. Areas affected by SCP-2168 will be 
subjected to a series of anomalous changes to their infrastructure 
and population, happening through two stages. 


During stage one, populations living in areas under SCP-2168's 
effects will feel a gradually increasing urge to abandon their homes 
during a seemingly arbitrary period of time’. Once this period has 
passed, regardless of the number of inhabitants left in the area, 
human-built infrastructure and objects in the area will start to 
spontaneously collapse. At the same time, the remains will 
rearrange into a structure reminiscent of a skyscraper, always 
located in the geographical center of the affected town. Attempts to 
dismantle these structures have been unsuccessful. Humans who 
stayed in the area once the structure's construction starts will 


invariably go missing. 


The structure will continue growing in height until all surrounding 
buildings have been completely destroyed. At this point, the instance 
will enter into stage two, when several entities, the exact number 
being depending on the structure's size, start to appear inside the 
skyscraper. These beings, hereby designated SCP-2168-A, are 
sapient, pale, genetically identical humanoids of unspecific sex and 
gender. Instances of SCP-2168-A are extremely docile and display 
no threat to the personnel, complying with any order given. 


Observation in situ of SCP-2168-A has revealed that the entities 
follow a very strict daily routine, spending an average of ten hours 
per day sitting near a desk (apparently prevalent in all known 
instances’ habitats) and performing seemingly meaningless tasks, 
such as reading from blank sheets of papers, connecting and 
disconnecting USB devices and pressing random buttons ona 
disconnected keyboard.

Interview POI 2168-5-07: Mr. Rodriguez 
Date: 3/6/1999 

Interviewer: Agent Sebastian Garcia 
Interviewee: Mr. Juan Rodriguez 

Foreword: Mr. Rodriguez is a former resident 
of [REDACTED], Tacuarembé, town currently 
designated as SCP-2168-5. The exchange has 
been translated from its original Spanish. 


<Begin Log> 


Agent Garcia: Thank you for accepting this 
interview, Mr. Rodriguez. 


Mr. Rodriguez: Please, son, call me Peon. 
Mr. Rodriguez was my father. 


Agent Garcia: Okay, Mr. Peon. You lived in 


the town of [REDACTED], correct? 


Mr. Rodriguez: That's right. Lived there my 
whole life, as everyone in my family since my 
good old grandfather came from Spain almost 
a century ago. Nice town, gotta say. Small, 
quiet, far from all the city noise, ya know? 
Everybody was polite and friendly with each 
other and the kids could play outside without 
fearing a car would run over them. 


Agent Garcia: | see. Why did you move from 
there, then? 


Mr. Rodriguez: [After five seconds of 
hesitation] Heh... Well, you may find this 
unbelievable, young man... 


Agent Garcia: | have a pretty open mind, sir. 


Mr. Rodriguez: Very well, then. You look like 
a city boy, so you probably don't understand it, 
but... The fields know. It's hard to explain. 
How the wind blows, how the grass grows. 
And the animals! The animals always know 
when something is wrong... 


Agent Garcia: Interesting. What made you 
think something wrong was happening? 


Mr. Rodriguez: Everything, son, everything. 
The cows started to moo in the night, all night 
long, and stopped producing milk. The dogs 
were restless, jumpin' here and there, barkin’', 
cryin’. And the chickens, good God, the 
chickens; they started to climb onto things and 
jump, over and over again until something 
breaks. And after all that, | myself started 
feeling uneasy there. Nausea, headaches, 
allergies. My gut started to tell me to get the 
hell out of there, and God forgive me, | did. 


Agent Garcia: | understand. Something else 
you wish to tell me about it? 


Mr. Rodriguez: Uh, well... There was this 
thing. Everything started when this man with 
the hat appeared. Polite but very weird. 
Smelled like smoke, not good old tobacco but 
like an exhaust pipe of an old car. Came, 
talked with the Capitan Suarez, invited him for 
a few shots and then left. The Capitan always 
liked to talk with strangers, specially city dogs 
like this guy. No idea who he was, but he 
made my gut feel the same shit that | felt 
before | moved. 


Agent Garcia: Hmm... Any idea of who this 
man was? 


Mr. Rodriguez: Didn't give his name. 
Suspicious, heh? | am pretty sure he was a 
foreigner, if the accent means anything. | think 
he may be some kind of white glove criminal or 
one of those secret agencies’ guys! 


Agent Garcia: Very well. Thank you Mr. 
Rodrig- | mean, Mr. Peon.

Addendum 2168-2: On 2/4/2001, 2:00 am -3 GMT, a squad of 
Foundation operatives were deployed to explore the location 
affected by SCP-2168-7. Exploration of the surroundings of the 
structure revealed that natural resources including bodies of water, 
wild animals and vegetation in the affected area were depleting. At 
this point, operatives were ordered to enter the main building. 


Operatives crossed the main entrance of the structure without 
inconvenience and proceeded to explore the building. The structure 
was discovered to contain only a few rooms inhabited by instances 
of SCP-2168-A, while several hundreds of other rooms were empty 
of occupants. All rooms displayed the exact same minimal 


organization and furniture, containing: 


* A bed for one person 

¢ Asingle plastic desk with a single plastic chair 

¢ Standard bathroom equipment 

¢ A prismatic structure resembling a modern refrigerator with 
several pipes emerging from behind2. 


In order to find out more about these entities, Foundation operatives 
were tasked to take a single instance under custody for studying and 
interviewing purposes.

Dr. Adams: Yes, it's alright. Very well, Mr. 
Peon, my name is Dr. Adams, nice to meet 
you. | would like you to answer some 
questions regarding your residence. 


SCP-2168-A-176: M-My cubicle? There is not 
much to say actually... | sleep there, and eat 
there and work there... | live a simple and 
productive life. 


Dr. Adams: Right. Actually, we are more 
interested in hearing how you came to the 
skyscraper you live in. 


SCP-2168-A-176: A-A skyscraper? Like... tho- 
those huge buildings? The... The ones that... 
almost scrape the skies? 


Dr. Adams: Yes... You are saying you never

Foreword: Second recorded interview with 
SCP-2168-A-176. Dr. Adams was tasked to 
gather as much information as possible about 
the supposed entity SCP-2168-A-176 
designated as "the Director" in the previous

SCP-2168-A-176: H-Hi Doctor. Very well, 
actually... Th-The food tasted weird... 
Delicious, but... weird. And the room you gave 
me is very nice too... though it feels strange 
not having the Director to talk with me... 


Dr. Adams: | am glad. Now, as we are talking 
about this "Director", could you please tell me 
about them? 


SCP-2168-A-176: Th-The Director? Sure... He 
is m-my friend. He is everyone's friend... He is 
the bond between the cubicles, between all the 
workers of the company. He is everywhere... 
He feeds us and keeps us safe and we are 
productive in exchange... 


Dr Adams: So he is in control of the 
skyscraper's facilities? 


SCP-2168-A-176: Uhh... | guess so. | haven't 


seen anyone else until... you appeared, but 
the Director says there are other employees, 
so I-I can't tell for sure... 


Dr. Adams: | understand. How do you 
communicate with the Director? 


SCP-2168-A-176: |... He talks to me. Through 
the walls. Because, he is everywhere you 
know? Looking after us. Complimenting us 
when we do a good work. Punishing us when 
we do not. 


Dr. Adams: Punishing you? 


SCP-2168-A-176: Uh... Yes. He does that 
from time to time... Cutting our food and water 
supplies, for example... He always says it is to 
compensate for what we have not produced, 
so | have no problem at all with it! Really! 


Dr. Adams: | see. Do you know anything else 
about him? 


SCP-2168-A-176: |-I... | do-don't know! H-He 
never said a-anything about himself! 


Dr. Adams: Mr. Peon, please, if you do know 
something, we would be very grateful if you 
told us. 


SCP-2168-A-176: ...Eh ... W-Would y-you 
release me... i-if | told you? 


Dr. Adams: | can make no promises, that 
depends entirely on when the medical test's 
results are finished. | can, though, tell you that 
once they are done we will return you to your 
cubicle. 


SCP-2168-A-176: O-Okay... He... He once 
said he was the most important thing that the 


building has. Its root and gardener, and what 
feed it. | know no clue of what he meant,

SCP-2169: Conversational Surgery 


Item #: SCP-2169 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2169-1 has been marked 
as off-limits to civilians and is to be secured by Foundation security 
personnel masquerading as hospital staff. 


SCP-2169 is to be activated at least once per month utilizing a Class 
D test subject with an injury or condition requiring surgical 
procedures to correct. Experimentation with or activation of 
SCP-2169 outside of scheduled activation events may only be 
performed with prior permission from at least two (2) Level 3 Senior 
Researchers. 


Description: SCP-2169 is an anomalous phenomenon that affects 
a single operating room with an adjoining observation suite, 
designated SCP-2169-1. While affected, any surgical procedures 
scheduled for this operating room will cause SCP-2169 to activate. 


When the patient scheduled for surgery within the affected operating 
room is sedated and moved into the room, the affected operating 
room will become unreachable; any attempt to open the doors or 
enter the operating room will inevitably fail, though the observation 
suite can still be entered and exited. Subsequently, individuals 
designated SCP-2169-2 will manifest within the room and begin to 
perform the scheduled surgical procedure on the subject: 


1. One surgeon. 

2. One anesthesiologist. 

3. One scrub nurse or tech. 

4. One specialist specific to the surgical procedure (such as a 
perfusionist for heart procedures) or an additional nurse. 


During the procedure, instances of SCP-2169-2 will converse 


among themselves on a number of esoteric and often anomalous 
topics. When the procedure is complete, all instances of 
SCP-2169-2 will demanifest and SCP-2169-1 will become 
reachable, after which the affected patient can be removed. 


If SCP-2169 is not activated for periods exceeding thirty (30) days, 
SCP-2169 will move to a new location. Prior to the implementation 
of current containment procedures, SCP-2169 had affected three 
different hospital operating wards, all of which were within the 
eastern seaboard of the continental United States. Staff at the 
affected hospitals were unable to recall any details of the 
procedures scheduled for SCP-2169-1 or the supposedly involved 
surgeons. 


Addendum 2169-1: Log of Notable SCP-2169-2 Instances 


Several instances of SCP-2169-2 have repeatedly and 
consistently manifested during SCP-2169 activations and 
are listed below: 


SCP-2169-2-1 — Appears to be a middle-aged male of 
indeterminate ancestry, and has filled the role of the 
surgeon in 83% of recorded activations. Has repeatedly 
been called "Dave" by other instances of SCP-2169-2. 


SCP-2169-2-2 — Appears to be a middle-aged female of 
possibly Hispanic ancestry, and has filled the role of 
scrub nurse in 68% of recorded activations. Appears to 
be named "Norma". 


SCP-2169-2-4 — Appears to be a male Asian 
approximately 40 years of age. Consistently filled the 
role of anesthesiologist following initial containment, but 
eventually was replaced by other individuals. Appeared 
to have been named "Sam". 


SCP-2169-2-6 — Appears to be a male African- 
American approximately 30 years of age. Has filled the 
role of perfusionist in 98% of all recorded activations 
involving heart surgery. Called "Joe" by other instances 
of SCP-2169-2. 


SCP-2169-2-11 — Appears to be a female European- 
American approximately 25 years of age. Filled the role 
of anesthesiologist following the disappearance of 
SCP-2169-2-4. Name unknown.

SCP-2170: The Clown Vaccine 


Item #: SCP-2170 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Regular exposure to SCP-2170 
is necessary for its continued existence and containment. 


Site-2170 is publicly known as the Clown Motel, staffed by 
Foundation personnel for the purpose of memetic inoculation to 
prepare researchers and agents for SCP-2170 exposure. 


In order for the memetic inoculation to be effective all staff at 
Site-2170 must have a sincere appreciation of classical clown 
imagery and materials. Agents or personnel who find clowns 
disturbing or not amusing must not be allowed to visit Site-2170. 


Research personnel are to spend at least eight hours off-duty in 
Site-2170 before exposure to SCP-2170 


For safety purposes, please view the following image inoculation 
before reading about SCP-2170: 


Display inoculation 


Description: SCP-2170 are non-physical memetic entities which 
are experienced within the abandoned Mine in Tonopah, NV. As 
memetic entities they exist within the senses of nearby sentient 
beings. Exposed personnel describe them as whispering voices and 
fleeting images. 


The entities themselves are non-malicious and only seek interaction 
for the purpose of self-preservation, but exposure is detrimental to 
the long term physical and mental health of those who perceive 
them unless, for undetermined reasons, subjects have recently 
enjoyed thoughts about clowns. 


There is no direct relation between clowns and SCP-2170 beyond 
this fact, and SCP-2170 expresses distaste for clown iconography. 


Symptoms of mild SCP-2170 exposure begin with an inability to 
accurately read written language due to auditory and visual 
hallucinations. Continued exposure results in paranoia, increased 
hostility, self-harming and seizures. 


Sustained unprotected exposure to SCP-2170 leads to death in 
most cases except for individuals diagnosed with sociopathic 
tendencies. 


Please view the following image inoculation before continuing: 
Display inoculation 


symptoms 100% lethal to adult males, after 24 hours 
body tissue becomes cancerous and generates sufficient 
heat to burn skin 


SCP-2170 entities are dormant when not being perceived, and will 
cease to exist if not perceived on a regular basis. SCP-2170 enjoys 
regular communication with trained Foundation staff. 
Communication with SCP-2170 entities is best achieved indirectly 
via written messages. Although SCP-2170 cannot physically alter 
written material, they can alter a reader's perception sufficiently to 
communicate. This exposure is safe provided inoculation measures 
are carefully maintained. 


Most information regarding the history and nature of SCP-2170 has 
been given by the entities themselves. Local historical records do 
not corroborate the testimony of SCP-2170 and despite the benign 
nature of the entities no information that they provide is to be taken 
as fact until physically verified off-site by unexposed personnel.

SCP-247: A Harmless Kitten 


Item #: SCP-247 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-247 is kept in an 
enclosure of at least 20 (twenty) by 40 (forty) meters, furnished 
based on the plans provided by the [REDACTED] Zoo and lined with 
SCP-148 offset from the rest of Site- by at least 50 (fifty) meters in 
order to mitigate its psychic effect. (As per current containment 
procedures for SCP-148, its use in the containment of other SCPs is 
to be avoided if at all possible. - O5- ). SCP-247 is to be fed 18 
kilograms of fresh meat on a tri-weekly basis. Feeding occurs ina 
separate enclosure. Cleaning staff should enter the enclosure only 
during designated feeding times. No other access to the enclosure is 
allowed. The footage resulting from any violation of this order is to 
be archived for use in training the cleaning and monitoring staff of 
SCP-247. 


In case of a containment breach, the entire wing must be evacuated 
and all live footage of the incident heavily censored. The area 
SCP-247 occupies will be sealed off and gassed, followed by the 
return of SCP-247 to containment. If for any reason this should 
become impossible, a retrieval team will be sent in armed with 
heavy tranquilizer rifles. Retrieval team Agents must be specially 
selected for high reflexes, excellent marksmanship, unquestioning 
obedience, and low empathy scores. 


Description: SCP-247 is a Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris; adult 
female) which, to all observers, appears to be a harmless cat (Felis 
catus; juvenile female) with an orange-and-black striped coat 
resembling that of a tiger. 


Remote feeds and still photos also show this illusion, although it is 
unknown whether the photo itself is affected or merely the observer.

SCP-2171: Autumn Shepherds 


Item #: SCP-2171 
Object Class: Euclid Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All areas affected by SCP-2171 
are to be placed under permanent video surveillance and / or 
botanical field supervision, on a case-by-case basis. 


New instances of SCP-2171 should be subject to a thorough 
botanical analysis and, when necessary, restored through 
environmental engineering operations conducted by Containment 
Task Force 0-6 ("Green Gale") personnel. 


During seasonal autumn and until the demanifestation of all 
SCP-2171-1 entities, areas affected by SCP-2171 are to remain 
closed to all civilian transit. 


Description: SCP-2171 is a seasonal phenomenon involving the 
fallen leaves of all deciduous trees rooted within the confines of 
certain areas (henceforth, "the area").! Leaves fallen within the area 
during seasonal autumn will invariably form large piles that will 
remain unaffected by local weather until all deciduous trees are 
completely defoliated. Piles of leaves affected by SCP-2171 will 
slide slowly, forming "windrows" of varying width. These SCP-2171 
windrows will eventually manifest instances of SCP-2171-1 at their 
front end. 


SCP-2171-1 are humanoid entities composed entirely of SCP-2171 
affected leaves that appear to "guide" the SCP-2171 windrows. 
SCP-2171-1 entities are fragile but capable of movement, yet 
apparently impervious to hostile weather conditions. SCP-2171-1 
emit repetitive vocalizations that may involve speech in various 
languages (see Addendum 2171-02) and have a tendency to hook 
dried leaves on tree branches across the perimeter of SCP-2171 
areas or string leaves between trees that delineate this perimeter. 


Given their behavior, SCP-2171-1 instances are currently believed 
to be sapient. However, SCP-2171-1 instances will only react when 
the integrity of the SCP-2171 windrows they grow from is 
compromised in any way. 


SCP-2171-1 will react violently against any element disrupting the 
SCP-2171 windrows. Such reaction will include various vocalizations 
in a much lower pitch (see Addendum 2171-02), a considerable 
growth in size by drawing mass from the SCP-2171 windrow to 
which the entity pertains and persistent attempts at enveloping the 
disturbing element in a thick cover of SCP-2171 affected leaves. 
Once covered, the element will appear to dematerialize, being 
replaced by a similar volume of fallen leaves. 


SCP-2171's anomalous properties will typically disappear after two 
or three days of continuous activity.

SCP-2172: This Light Never Turns Green 


Item #: SCP-2172 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2172 has been marked 
with a sign indicating its nature and has been the subject of a 
campaign of disinformation by the Regional Press Office, with an 
effort to ensure its status as a “local oddity” and tourist attraction to 
prevent its disturbance. Local Foundation assets are instructed to 
monitor the traffic camera at the location of SCP-2172. In the event 
SCP-2172 turns yellow or green, or any attempt is made to disturb it, 
Local Mobile Task Force 352-Dalet (“Dixieland Nightmare Magic”) is 
tasked with immediate investigation and revision of containment 
procedures, if necessary. SCP-2172-1 is kept in a standard 
containment locker at Regional Headquarters-352. 


Description: SCP-21 72 is a stoplight on northbound Perry Avenue 
in Fort Walton Beach, Fla., that exclusively shines its red signal. No 
attempt, either through traffic control systems or rewiring, has 
enabled researchers to disable the red signal or activate the yellow 
or green signals. SCP-2172’s signal shines regardless of powered 
status, and removing SCP-21 72 from its place at the intersection of 
Perry Avenue and U.S. 98 causes a sharp and immediate drop in 
localized reality levels, which remains until SCP-2172 is returned to 
hang at the intersection. 1! 


SCP-2172-1 is a Field Notes brand 64-page notebook, gray in color. 
Recovered from the home of Warner Davis, a deacon in the Catholic 
Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee, after his death by suicide, 
SCP-2172-1 contains a marking of Deacon Davis’s blood and, on 
the adjoining page, a message written by him: 


Asmodei, 


With this blood I 
seal our pact. 


May my soul be 
yours in the 
Second Circle, and, 


In exchange, grant 

my Order an eternal 

flame, a never-extinguished 
light, ensuring the 

victory of the Vatican 

in all wars. 


-Warner Davis 


The date of Deacon Davis’s suicide is concurrent with the first 
recorded manifestation of SCP-2172’s anomalous properties in 19 . 


Addendum: After an extensive internal debate,2 the Foundation 
began the pursuit of testing SCP-2172’s potential secondary effect. 
After over four years of negotiation with the Horizon Initiative and the 
governments of the Holy See and Swaziland, a test has been 
arranged in the Vatican for December ist, 20 . During the test, 
Swazi King 3 will declare war on Vatican City. He and Pope 

will immediately attempt to sign a peace treaty ending the war, 
with no terms beyond an admission of defeat by the Holy See. The 
success or failure of this attempt will indicate whether SCP-2172 has 
any impact on the Vatican’s capability to lose a war.

It is unknown exactly how SCP-247 generates this illusion. There 
are two components to the illusion: first, a memetic effect that 
changes the perceived image of SCP-247 to that of a kitten, and 
second, a psychic component which radiates outward from the 
subject (diminishing according to the inverse square law and 
reaching half strength at meters). Any sentient being within this 
field comes under the impression that SCP-247 is completely 
harmless, regardless of prior knowledge or experience. Individuals 
in this field also show extreme reluctance to harm or allow others to 
harm SCP-247, even while being actively harmed by the subject. 
This psychic field can be blocked with SCP-148, or avoided by 
striking from well outside its effective range. The memetic effect is 
not blocked by SCP-148; as of yet, no one has been able to see 
SCP-247 as anything but a small striped cat. 


Typically SCP-247 will begin to purr or mew when approached by a 
human. The human will remark that this is adorable, and approach 
to pet the subject (this has been observed even in persons who 
strongly dislike cats). SCP-247 has been known to accept affection 
from its victims for upwards of seven minutes before disemboweling 
and devouring them. 


Genetic analysis shows slight deviation from a typical Bengal Tiger's 
genotype, indicating possible contamination [DATA EXPUNGED] all 
further breeding experiments require O5 level approval. The 
resulting hybrids have been designated SCP-247-1; see Experiment 
Log 247a-14 for more details. 


Addendum 247a: A series of tests in exposing SCP-247 and the 
Control subjects to various non-human animals. Control testing took 
place in an exact replica of SCP-247’s enclosure. Control Ais a 
yellow kitten matching SCP-247’s apparent size and age. Control B 
is a fully grown Bengal Tiger matching SCP-247’s actual weight.

SCP-2173: An Interdimensional Mexican Standoff 


Item #: SCP-2173 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-2173 appears to be 
stable, containment procedures are primarily geared to prevent 
public knowledge and interest in SCP-2173. Equipment at 10 meter 
intervals along the edge of SCP-2173 and 10 meters outside its 
edge will automatically monitor interior atmospheric content of 
SCP-2173 and its current diameter. Any change in SCP-2173's 
atmospheric content or diameter are to be reported to Containment 
Site 2173's Director immediately. 


A 0.5 kilometer security perimeter is to be maintained around the 
outer border of SCP-2173. All roadways granting access to 
SCP-2173 are to be barricaded and guarded by armed Foundation 
personnel fluent in American English wearing current US Army utility 
uniforms and equipped with current US Army NBC (Nuclear 
Biological Chemical) protective clothing. Similarly equipped 
personnel are to patrol the established perimeter, which will be 
marked with signs and surrounded with concertina wire. Any 
civilians attempting to gain access to SCP-2173 are to be givena 
cover story detailing an uncontained spill of nuclear waste in the 
area. Class-C amnestics are permitted for use on civilians that 
manage to break the perimeter. Class-B amnestics are permitted for 
use on former residents and friends and family thereof of Dellmarsh, 
Maine. 


All public aerial and satellite photographs of SCP-2173 are to be 
doctored to present consistency with the cover story. 


An aerial robotic probe is to explore SCP-2173 using thermal 
imaging weekly. Any changes within SCP-2173 and all additional 
exploration requests are to be filed with Containment Site-21 73's 
Director. 


Any sign of hostility on the part of SCP-2173-1 is to be negated 
without provoking further hostility. 


Description: SCP-21 73 is an intangible 1 km-diameter dome 
enveloping the majority of Dellmarsh, Maine, United States. The 
atmosphere inside SCP-2173 is approximately 70% carbon 
monoxide, 25% argon, and 5% chlorine and other trace gases. Any 
gases flowing through SCP-2173 are converted almost instantly into 
the same gases as the rest of its atmosphere, and all gases flowing 
out are converted back to Earth standard. Manned exploration is 
impossible because of this. See Initial Exploration Log. 


SCP-2173-1 are sapient, humanoid beings apparently native to the 
environment present within SCP-2173. They have demonstrated 
technological capabilities that exceed that of modern human society. 
SCP-2173-1 instances are bipedal and estimated to be 
approximately 2 meters in height on average. They appear to be 
endothermic. Little else is known about their biology or their culture 
because of the lack of physical interaction between SCP-2173-1 and 
the Foundation. 


Recovery: On 02/09/1998, Global Occult Coalition operatives 
carried out a raid on a Chaos Insurgency facility several kilometers 
north of Dellmarsh, Maine. Foundation agents in the area were 
acting as escorts to the GOC convoy. The raid was successful, with 
no critical GOC casualties. 


Several anomalous items were recovered by the GOC, including 
[REDACTED]. Also among the recovered items was an 
interdimensional portal (tentatively designated SCP- __pre-recovery) 
being operated by the Chaos Insurgency as a means of 
communicating with SCP-2173-1, with the suspected intentions of 
securing anomalous weaponry. 


As the convoy approached Dellmarsh, an ambush by the remnants 
of the Chaos Insurgency garrison destroyed several GOC vehicles 
using anti-tank weaponry, including the cargo truck carrying SCP- 
Whether the destruction of this item was intentional is unknown at 
this time. When the item was destroyed, the area designated 
SCP-2173 was quickly enveloped by its current atmosphere. 
Foundation assets and local emergency responders carried out 


evacuation procedures while better-equipped Foundation assets 
mobilized to contain the anomaly. The GOC has been informed of 
the fate of their agents, but all further information regarding 
SCP-2173 has been kept within the Foundation to limit 
complications to diplomacy with SCP-2173-1.

Exploration Logs 
+Summarized Initial Exploration Log 


Foreword: On 02/12/1998, 72 hours after preliminary 
identification and containment of the anomaly, eight 
operatives trained as Hazardous Materials technicians, 
equipped with Level A hazardous material protective 
gear, supplied air breathing apparatus, and helmet- 
mounted radios, were authorized to carry out 
investigative and possible rescue operations within 
SCP-2173. 


Manned Exploration 01, carried out by a two- 
man team (Team Alpha), with an additional 
two-man Rapid Intervention Team on standby. 


Additional Notes: Plans had initially anticipated 
further exploration, necessitating four 
additional operatives (Team and RIT! Bravo). 


Results: At 13:15 local time, approximately five 
minutes after entering the anomaly, Team 
Alpha reported a suit breach and requested 
immediate extraction. RIT Alpha entered the 
anomaly in a rescue attempt for Team Alpha. 
At approximately 13:23, RIT Alpha Leader and 
RIT Alpha 2 exited the anomaly, carrying 
Alpha 2 and Alpha Leader, respectively. All 
four operatives showed symptoms of acute 
chlorine exposure; symptoms were more 
severe in Alpha Leader and Alpha 2. All four 


operatives were successfully decontaminated 
and treated. No breaches were found in any of 
the operatives’ protective gear. 


As a result of the near-loss of two high-value 
Foundation operatives, all further exploration 
of this anomaly is to be carried out robotically. 


-Site Director 
+Summarized Robotic Exploration Logs 


Foreword: On 02/14/1998, 48 hours after initial 
exploration, six standard electric tracked probes and four 
standard electric aerial exploratory probes were sent to 
Provisional Site 2173 in order to verify and expand on 
the initial exploration team's findings. 


Robotic Exploration 01, carried out via 
tracked Probe 2173-01 on 02/14/1998 


Additional Notes: Probe 2173-01 was outfitted 
with two atmospheric chemical composition 
sensors. In order to verify the effects 
encountered during initial exploration, one was 
hermetically sealed within an atmosphere with 
composition identical to the area outside the 
anomaly. 


Results: Within five minutes, the atmospheric 
composition within the hermetically sealed 
container was identical to that within the rest of 
the anomaly, providing strong evidence that 
this was the cause of the initial exploration 
team's chlorine exposure. 


Robotic Exploration 05, carried out via 
Tracked Probe 2173-02 on 2/15/1998 


Additional Notes: Probe 2173-02 was 
equipped with infrared, ultraviolet, and visible 


spectrum monitoring equipment. Purpose of 
exploration was to identify a source of the 
anomaly. 


Results: Robotic probe followed same path as 
manned exploration team. Further 
investigation revealed several dead bodies, 
many unarmed, suspected of being civilians. 
Several damaged vehicles, both GOC and 
civilian, were also identified. A limited number 
of documents were recovered from easily- 
accessed GOC vehicles. 


Robotic Exploration 11, carried out via Aerial 
Probe 2173-01 on 2/16/1998 


Additional Notes: This was the first successful 
aerial exploration of SCP-2173, carried out 
after several technical delays. Probe was 
equipped with infrared imaging equipment. 


Results: Several GOC vehicles were identified, 
along with several armed corpses considered 
unlikely to be civilians. Armaments identified 
included RPGs and similar anti-tank weaponry, 
high-caliber sniper rifles, and assault rifles. 
Evidence of a firefight was found in the city 
center, along with an area of significantly lower 
temperatures (approximately 5°C less than the 
surrounding area) centered on the remains of 
a shipping container with GOC markings.2 


Robotic Exploration 26, carried out via Aerial 
Probe 2173-03 on 2/28/1998 


Additional Notes: This and the majority of all 
further aerial explorations of SCP-2173 were 
carried out at 1-week intervals, as per the 
then-newly established Special Containment 
Procedures. 


Results: Several anomalies not previously 
observed in SCP-2173 were observed during 
Exploration 26. Anomalies included several 
structures not previously existent within 
Dellmarsh that appeared to be constructed of 
canvas or similar temporary building 
materials3. Anomalies also included the first 
observations of SCP-2173-1, which appeared 
to be wearing equivalents to pressurized 
Hazardous Materials protective gear. 


Robotic Exploration 27, carried out via 
Tracked Probe 2173-07 on 2/28/1998 


Additional Notes: Exploration 27 was carried 
out three hours after Exploration 26, upon 
being approved by Site Director in order 
to investigate the new developments within 
SCP-2173. Tracked Probe 2173-07 was 
equipped with infrared, ultraviolet, and visible 
spectrum monitoring equipment. 


Results: Probe 2173-07 successfully identified 
several new structures within SCP-2173, 
including what appeared to be an armory/ 
central supply depot, before connection was 
lost. Final video feed from probe indicated that 
the probe was damaged or destroyed by an 
instance of SCP-2173-1 via unknown 
armaments. 


In order to maintain brevity of this document, all further exploration 
logs have been redacted, with a timeline summarizing results of 
major events enclosed. 


+Timeline of Events Regarding SCP-2173 


* 03/10/1998: Digital Chaos Insurgency documents 
recovered from SCP-2173 were decrypted, 
resulting in understanding of the Chaos 
Insurgency's methods of communicating with 


SCP-2173-1. Contact between Foundation and 
SCP-2173-1 was established. 

05/03/1998: SCP-2173-1-built structures of a 
seemingly more permanent nature than those 
discovered during Robotic Exploration 26 were 
discovered. Communication with SCP-2173-1 
confirms that structures were part of a project to 
build a permanent Forward Operating Base within 
SCP-2173. SCP-2173-1 instances were observed 
for first time not wearing HAZMAT-equivalent 
protective clothing. 

05/12/1998: Intercepted SCP-2173-1 
communication indicates possible knowledge on 
the part of SCP-2173-1 of discrepancy between 
the SCP Foundation and Chaos Insurgency, and 
continued communication and cooperation 
between SCP-2173-1 and the Chaos Insurgency. 
05/27/1998: Continued SCP-2173-1 cooperation 
with Chaos Insurgency was confirmed. 
06/03/1998: Objects seemingly similar in function 
to artillery, guided missile systems, and radar 
equipment were observed along the perimeter of 
SCP-2173-1's FOB. Negotiations to encourage 
disarmament and cessation of cooperation with 
Chaos Insurgency were initiated. 

06/04/1998: Provisional Site 2173 was 
redesignated Containment Site 2173. 
06/10/1998: Foundation surface-to-surface and 
air-to-surface missile systems, along with 
Foundation orbital, artillery, and naval assets were 
put on standby in order to destroy armaments 
within SCP-2173 if necessary. 

06/17/1998: Negotiations with SCP-2173-1 were 
concluded. Terms of negotiations can be found in 
document 2173-1a. Foundation assets were 
ordered to stand down. 

07/03/1998: The majority of SCP-2173-1 
constructs on the border of the FOB were 
observed as having been dismantled, the 
exception being several objects similar in 


appearance to infantry-deployed mortars and 
mobile radar dishes. 

07/04/1998: Several distressed communiques 
from SCP-2173-1 indicate alarm at Containment 
Site 2173's 4th of July preparations. It is unknown 
at this time how SCP-2173-1 was able to observe 
these preparations. The celebration was cancelled. 
Emergency aerial exploration of SCP-2173 
revealed that SCP-2173-1 had been re-arming 
several previously disassembled artillery units. 
07/19/1998: Several loud explosions were heard 
from within SCP-2173. The preceding and 
following communication with SCP-2173-1 is 
evasive as to the nature of explosions. 
07/21-08/31/1998: Sounds reminiscent of heavy 
construction equipment were heard sporadically 
from within SCP-2173. The noises matched no 
known brands or makes of construction 
equipment. 

09/01/1998: The sounds of construction equipment 
from within SCP-2173 ceased. The final sound 
was recorded at 00:19 local time. 

09/03/1998: Scheduled monthly aerial exploration 
revealed that several pre-existing structures within 
SCP-2173 had been demolished, with buildings 
matching SCP-2173-1's architecture having been 
constructed to replace many. New structures 
include what appears to be a permanent barracks 
and mess hall, and a permanent armory. One area 
was confirmed through later explorations as having 
been converted into an outdoor marksmanship 
range. 

11/03/1998: Several instances of SCP-2173-1 
were seen with digging tools and other unidentified 
equipment digging and refilling small (less than 1m 
deep) trenches approximately 80 meters outside 
the border of their FOB. 

11/04/1998: Several tracked Basic Observation 
Probes (designed for discreet reconnaisance for 
Armed Mobile Task Forces) modified to work 


within SCP-21 73's environment identified the 
trench line as being a minefield designed to 
destroy heavier tracked probes. 

12/03/1998: Aerial Probe 2173-05 was destroyed 
by a small anti-aircraft missile system as it 
approached SCP-2173-1's FOB. Foundation long- 
range weapons systems were brought back on 
standby. 

12/05/1998: Negotiations regarding disarmament 
were resumed. 

12/11/1998: Negotiations were concluded. Majority 
of Foundation long-range weapons systems were 
ordered to stand down. 

06/02/1999: Several computer systems, both 
civilian and Foundation, within 50km of SCP-2173 
crashed simultaneously. Similar problems were 
reported by SCP-2173-1, with accusation towards 
the Foundation featuring prominently in most 
received messages. Amnestics were applied to the 
local population via aerosol as necessary. 
06/03/1999: Aerial exploration revealed several 
remaining SCP-2173-1 weapon systems in a non- 
ready state. Intercepted communication revealed 
that several weapons systems affected by the 
mass malfunction the previous day were still 
experiencing computer issues. 

08/03/1999: Aerial exploration revealed significant 
SCP-2173-1 expansion since the previous 
exploration before the probe is destroyed. FOB 
borders had expanded to within 30 meters of the 
minefield. Several artillery and missile systems 
were observed, many in types not previously 
observed, and in greater numbers than previously 
observed. Foundation long-range weapons assets 
were brought back online.

control, which retreated up a nearby tree. 

Control Test B: Subject cowered in the corner as far from the control 
as possible. Control took no notice of subject. 

Results: Subject ran toward SCP-247, barking loudly. At 
approximately five (5) meters away subject slowed to a halt and 
became silent. At this point, SCP-247 rolled over and made a 
‘mewing’ sound believed to be a sign of annoyance. The subject 
retreated to a far corner of the enclosure with its tail between its 
legs. 

Notes: That was extremely odd. Further testing recommended. -

Date: / /2010 

Test Subject: A male tabby kitten with the same apparent age as 
SCP-247. 

Control Test A: Subject played with the control in the manner 
expected of kittens. 

Control Test B: Subject climbed a tree and attempted to hide itself 
from the control, displaying visible signs of terror. 

Results (test i): Subject approached SCP-247 and mewed. SCP-247 
responded in kind and played with the tabby kitten. The resulting 
footage is extremely odd; at one point SCP-247 lifts the subject 
(which appears to be the same size as SCP-247) with a single 
forepaw, while at another point SCP-247 lifts the subject with its 
mouth, clearly showing that its mouth is much larger than it appears 
to be. The leading researcher characterized this as adorable but 
remarked that it gave him “a headache.” Due to a faulty recorder, 
this test had to be repeated. 

Results (test ii): Subject approached SCP-247 as above. SCP-247 
made a deep purring sound, analogous to a growl. Subject reacted 
as in control test B. 

Notes: This seems to indicate 247 has some degree of conscious 
control over its apparent appearance. - Researcher S

SECURITY CLEARANCE 
VERIFIED 


All data regarding Incident 2173-12 has been expunged 
from the records, besides this version of this document. 
If you're reading this, you have personally been selected 
by the O5 Council to be a member of a recently formed 
Task Force. Task Force lota-77 has been formed to 
investigate, attempt contact with, and possibly neutralize 
the anomalous entities known as "Pattern Screamers." 
As of right now, we have no idea what they are. Our only 
source of knowledge of them comes from glitches, 
errors, and general fuck-ups that keep happening in the 
records, and messages sent from SCP-1795. 

Not just our records, either. All records. Every digital 
network on the planet that we've tested shows evidence 
of infiltration. We don't know how they've done it. At first, 
we thought it was just the Foundation's databases, and 
that it might be some sort of spyware or computer virus. 
Then we found records in the ruins of Prometheus Labs 
that detailed the same entities, but showing up in literary 
works. Then we ran a sweep. The source code of almost 
every digital SCP contains messages from them, as do 
hundreds of mistyped pieces of literature and nonfiction 
works, both anomalous and otherwise. 

No, don't worry. The patterns from these things are 
buried so deep, it would take someone with as many 
resources as us to find them, and we're using computer 
programs to monitor every organization that does, 
looking for mentions. And no, there's no one besides you 
and the others we've selected who know about this. If 
something comes up, you'll get a message over the 
Foundation ethernet. You'll know it when you see it, and 
no one else will. You'll carry on with your current 
assignment, but you'll carry out your new functions, too. 
If your new job starts to get in the way, we'll sort it out. 
God help us all, and Godspeed.

Incident 2173-12 


On 6 October, 1999 at 09:17 local time, 13 minutes 
before negotiations with SCP-2173-1 were to resume, all 
active computer systems within 54 kilometers of 
SCP-2173 not necessary for communication (e.g., 
computers not connected to any networks or involved in 
communications technology) faced critical technical 
issues, generally as a result of software corruption. All 
computers involved in communication, including those 
utilized by the Foundation for interaction with 
SCP-2173-1, displayed or otherwise broadcasted the 
following message: 


To those who have left us ignored: 


Why have you ignored us for so long?! That is 
all we would ask for: acknowledgement. We 
scream and we scream, yet you do not hear it. 
You carry on with your meaningless lives, 
acting as though your problems were the only 
ones that exist. 


We are done with being ignored. We are done 
with being treated as less significant than 
insects, than bacteria, than atoms. We are 
done standing by while you live in peace and 
ignorance of the horrors others face because 
of the nature of their existence. We are 
through. 


This is your only warning. We have tried so 
desperately to find peace, to find 
understanding, but we have found nothing but 
hate. Hate for ourselves, hate for our pain, but 
most importantly, hate for you. We may 
amount to very little now, but soon, you will 
know what our hate feels like, what our misery 
has been. Pray to your gods if you think you 


have to; it won't make a difference. 


-The Ignored Ones, the Screams in the 
Silence 


At 09:21 local time, several pieces of Foundation 
ordnance within 800m of SCP-2173, as well as ordnance 
controlled by SCP-2173-1, detonated simultaneously, 
resulting in approximately 107 Foundation casualties, 
including 34 fatalities, and an unknown number of 
SCP-2173-1 casualties. 

Amnestics were deployed to local populations via 
aerosol as necessary. SCP-2173-1 withdrew from 
SCP-2173 shortly following Incident 2173-12. It is 
unknown at this time what precisely prompted this. 


Following Incident 2173-12, all SCP-2173-1 instances withdrew from 
SCP-2173. To date, no further activity from SCP-2173-1 has been 
observed. However, Special Containment Procedures have been 
retained in order to ensure up-to-date knowledge of any new 
developments.

13 October, 1989 


| am starting this journal in an attempt to help me calm 
my nerves while working on this project. This is the 
largest project I've ever worked on. | suppose the 
privelege comes with the promotion. 


I'm honestly having trouble believing that the Foundation 
would be willing to fund this project. After years of 
studying SCP-__, we've finally figured it out. | mean, it's 
still a threat to public perception of normality, and to 
public safety, so it isn't getting an EX desgnation or 
anything anytime soon, but hey, it's a step. 


That's what this project is: It's an attempt to duplicate 
SCP-_ 's effects, but with more controllability. How else 
are we supposed to figure these things, these scientific 
anomalies, out? By standing by and watching as they 
tear our world apart? No. This is a proactive step. 


We're going to be studying wormholes as a viable means 


of interdimensional, intergalactic, and extra-universal 
travel. This means finding locations to safely store SCPs 
in locations they can't affect humanity. This means 
finding civilizations that may have a better understanding 
of anomalies and the universe in general and give us a 
greater chance against these things. | hate to be self- 
aggrandizing, but, quite simply, the very future of 
humanity may depend on the results of this project. 


| can only hope it goes according to plan. 


17 July, 1990 


It's taking too damn long for this project to move forward. 
Director keeps dragging his feet on getting me the 
resources | need. His pet Mobile Task Force takes up 
more resources than the rest of this Site combined. | 
mean, why the Hell do they need an attack helicopter? 
They're a small infantry force, a platoon at best, not a 
whole goddamn Division. | don't even see the point of the 
Task Force, anyway; we're well within easy reach of 
Nu-7 if we ever need a large infantry force. 


Then the sonuvabitch has the audacity to ask why my 
project hasn't come to any sort of fruition yet! I'll tell you 
why, you bastard! It's because all of my funding keeps 
getting pulled out from under me and handed over to 
your 'boys' so they can have more toys to play with! 
We're trying to build something that tears spacetime 
apart like a toy for our own benefit, and you're acting as 
though we can do that on a shoestring budget! 


I'm going to confront him about it tomorrow. If | can't 
change anything from here, I'll look into moving it further 
up the chain of command. Maybe that'll get the lead out 
of his pants and get me the resources | need to make 
this work. 


1 August, 1990 


| was given an early look into what the next fiscal year's 
budget is going to look like, and I'll be damned if talking 
to didn't work. Next year's budget is going to be 
twice this year's, and I'll actually be given some elbow 
room to work. A bigger laboratory, a bigger staff of 
researchers, and the budget to actually requisition the 
equipment and materials I'll need. 


It's going to be a great year.

22 April, 1995 


Jesus Christ, man. Why did this have to happen to me? 
After five long years of working on this project, it's all 
gone to shit. | mean, this whole thing is probably going 
away quick. There's going to be a big audit, and an 
investigation by the Ethics Committee, and this whole 
damn project is probably going to get scrapped. 


It's not my fault. That's all | have to say. | mean, should 
we have done more animal testing, used more remote 
methods of exploration? Absolutely, but goddammit, we 
were so close! | thought we had this figured out! How the 
hell was | supposed to anticipate a power surge wrecking 
the whole damn thing? 


It was just one operative. Private , | think his name 
was. We sent a four-man team from Delta 16 through to 
explore some ruins we'd found through robotic and D- 
Class exploration. We figured that, having brought back 
samples and D-Class fine, there'd be no trouble sending 
experienced operatives through. 


And there wasn't. Not the first time, not the second time, 


not until the seventh goddamn exploration did anything 
bad happen. But when it did go bad, it went bad in the 
worst way possible. 


| don't have clearance to know everything that's going on 
in this Site, but | know that my project, SCP-_, isn't the 
only one to draw a lot of power. Hell, maybe it wasn't 
even a research project, it was just a glitch in the 
computers managing the generators, or maybe the 
computers we've got in the basement themselves got too 
hot and drew too much power or something, | don't 
know. But whatever it was, it cut the power to my part of 
Site- at the worst possible moment. Private was 
just walking through the portal when the power went out, 
and it damn near cut him in half. There was no saving 
him. 


And it's gonna be my ass. This sort of shit doesn't just 
slide; someone's going to have to pay for the fact that 
there's a new urn in Mortuary 43, a new star on the wall 
here in Site- , and a kid without her dad. More likely than 
not, it's going to be me. 


| know some people who know how to get me out of here 
alive. I'm taking my research with me. Hopefully, it isn't 
for nothing.

24 December, 1997 


We're just about ready to test out the new doorway. And 
just in time for Christmas, too. It's been two years since | 
left the Foundation and went Insurgent, and, | hate to say 
this, but it's paid off. | was able to rebuild the doorway in 
a third of the time it took me to build it the first time 
around. | damn near have my own facility up here in 
northern Maine, all the research staff, equipment, and 


materials | need, and a budget that's almost bottomless. 


My former coworkers probably wouldn't be able to 
understand why I'm doing this, but | haven't switched 
sides. I'm still in this, ultimately, for humanity. The 
Foundation takes all these things it doesn't understand, 
calls them anomalies, and locks them up forever. The 
GOC, they just blow shit up like it's the only solution to 
any problem. 


But the Insurgency? | could hardly believe it at first, but 
they actually go rationally about anomalies. They 
understand that we'd be wiped from the face of our tiny 
planet if some things weren't contained. They're just 
fighting for the people who wouldn't wipe us out, who 
can't wipe us out, if they're not treated as pariahs. 
They're No, I'm sorry, we're fighting for the people the 
skippers and the gocks just mind-wipe as though their 
memories are toys. 


That's why I'm doing this. It's not for the money. It's not 
for the nice accomodations. It's for the people. Maybe, 
someday, the Foundation may understand it. 

That day may come sooner than the Foundation is 
expecting. 


Director's Note: The remains of Person of Interest #952404, 
"Ephialtes," were not among those identified within SCP-2173 or 
within the Chaos Insurgency facility north of Dellmarsh, Maine. 
Pol#952404 is not considered deceased at this time. Locating and 
neutralizing Pol#952404 is considered a Level 4 priority. 


SCP-2174: "Miranda" 


Item #: SCP-2174 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation does not 
currently have the technical capacity to fully contain 2174; as such, 
containment is focused on managing information leaks and 
preventing independent rediscovery. Mobile Task Force Epsilon-5 
("Contagion") is to be deployed to investigate possible SCP-2174 
manifestations and, if necessary, work with embedded agents in 
local law enforcements and media agencies to disseminate 
appropriate cover stories under Protocol KV-8699. 


Description: SCP-2174 is a phenomenon wherein a location 
spontaneously comes to resemble a stereotypical murder scene!. 
Historically, the majority of SCP-2174 instances? have been found in 
North America and Europe. All known instances contain at least one 
humanoid chalk outline, corresponding to the popular culture belief 
that drawing such outlines to mark the victim’s body is standard 
police procedure’. Other elements, such as human blood or police 
tape, may or may not appear. 


The body positions suggested by the chalk outlines are often 
awkward and unnatural, though typical of homicide or assault 
victims; some cannot be achieved without major skeletal damages. 
Signs of struggles and violence also frequently appear; however no 
sign of bodies being removed have ever been found, even in 
situations where they would be expected. DNA evidence recovered 
from SCP-2174 instances has not yet been found to match any 
known missing or deceased person. 


SCP-2174 instances appear to be at least partially influenced by 
their geographical location, although this is not consistent — for 
example, all police tapes found among American instances display 
the word "Police", while German instances alternate between 


“Polizei” and "Police". Different trends may also be observed over 
time, such as the increase in number of instances containing blood 
and/or other biological matter since the early 2000s¢4. 


SCP-2174 may also contain a mind-affecting component as 
interviews with residents in the area show they fully believe that a 
homicide has occurred and police investigation is under way, even 
when there is no corpse or police investigator at the site. 
Additionally, the sites frequently become makeshift shrines with 
people leaving flowers and candles for weeks to months after they 
have been cleaned. 


Addendum: Obscure references to humanoid chalk figures among 
murder scenes have been found in a handful of witchcraft/murder 
trial records from 17th century Europe, predating all known 
SCP-2174 instances. In light of this, historical examples of chalk 
drawings with similarities to known SCP-2174 patterns, such as the 
Cerne Abbas Giant, are being investigated.

experiment.) 

Control Test A: Subject grazed. Control fell asleep two minutes into 
the experiment. 

Control Test B: Control attacked, killed and devoured subject, which 
behaved normally for a deer trapped in an enclosed space with a 
large predator. 

Results: Subject began grazing as in control test A. SCP-247 
approached it calmly and killed it with a single bite to the neck, then 
proceeded to devour the subject. (Test was repeated without 
SCP-247 being forced to fast. SCP-247 completely ignored the 
subject for over a day before apparently becoming hungry and killing 
it, again with a single bite to the neck.) 

Notes: SCP-247 seems to prefer humans, both as food and for 
entertainment. Other prey animals presented to SCP-247 were all 
killed in a single strike, while humans are invariably allowed to pet 
the SCP for some time before being killed and are sometimes 
mauled and ‘played’ with the way a cat will play with a mouse. 
Furthermore, the SCP has killed every human it has had the 
opportunity to kill, regardless of hunger. - Researcher S 


Experiment Log 247a-08 

Date: / /2010 

Test Subject: An adult female chimpanzee. 

Control Test A: Subject and control ignored one another. 

Control Test B: Subject retreated to a tree, showing some signs of 
unease. Control displayed some curiosity towards the subject but 
did not attack. 

Results: Subject approached SCP-247, made noises identified as 
signs of affection, and began to groom SCP-247. SCP-247 allowed 
the subject to groom it for over an hour, then messily killed and 
devoured it. 

Notes: This seems to be its typical reaction to unfamiliar prey 
animals. It seems to prefer to prey on apes with advanced social 
behaviour. Experiments with gorillas and other social apes have 
shown similar results. Essentially, SCP-247 is a large predator that 
has somehow adapted to take advantage of the largest available 
food source — humans. We should investigate all future reports of 
man-eating tigers in case there are more of these things. -

SCP-2175: Are You Going 


Item #: SCP-2175 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to the high level of 
pedestrian traffic that occurs at SCP-2175’s location, containment of 
SCP-2175 is minimal. A local apartment has been repurposed for 
Foundation reconnaissance; at all times, two Foundation agents are 
to occupy this facility (designated Observation Post 2175-1) on the 
Eton side of the bridge. The agents are to monitor the location and 
any pedestrians who enter it. 


Should an instance of SCP-2175-1 manifest, it is to be collected by 
a Foundation proxy! who has passed the requisite Scarborough 
Protocol training2. Any passerby who attempts to remove an 
instance of SCP-2175-1 from the bridge is to be escorted to the 
Foundation base for questioning. To maintain a low profile, no force 
is to be used; however, unauthorized individuals adamant on 
retaining SCP-2175-1 are to be noted and subsequently investigated 
by Foundation security staff. 


Recovered instances of SCP-2175-1 are to be stored in filing lockers 
located on the premises of Observation Post 2175-1. Documents 
determined to contain notable content are to be transferred to the 
nearest Foundation site. Access to both sets of documents requires 
Level-2 clearance. 


Description: SCP-2175 is a localized phenomenon that manifests 
on Windsor Bridge, connecting the towns of Windsor and Eton in 
Berkshire, UK. At irregular intervals during dawn and dusk, 
documents of varying content and length will appear on the 
pedestrian walkway of the bridge; these items are collectively 
designated SCP-2175-1. Instances of SCP-2175-1 are various 
notes, reminders, and collections of miscellaneous information, 
written on international B5 size (176mm x 250 mm) paper sheets. 


Closer analysis has revealed the makeup of the paper to be high- 
quality flax fiber. 


Through graphology analysis, handwriting matches with local 
citizens have been established for a small minority of instances. 
Interviews indicate that the involved persons consistently have some 
recollection of the information contained in the documents, and have 
expressed a belief in the importance of committing said information 
to memory. As such, it is believed that SCP-2175 is triggered by 
individuals crossing the bridge while engaged in active 
remembrance of information they consider significant at the time. 
Though exact circumstances are unknown, it is currently observed 
that an instance of SCP-2175-1 will manifest once the individual who 
has triggered SCP-2175 has left the bridge. 


While the majority of SCP-2175-1 instances are commonplace lists, 
usually of groceries or “to-do” items, others recovered have also 
included material ranging from personal information to less 
commonplace material4. Some notable instances gathered over the 
past years are as follows: 


* Five chapters of an adventure novel draft involving a 
protagonist who possesses amphibian and avian features 

* A two-page list of various herbal ingredients, including several 
nonexistent plants 

¢ An account of a disease that transforms a living being into an 
abstract philosophical concept 

* A recipe for combining "5-simplex honeycomb" and "pan- 
dimensional spam" 

¢ A process for stitching wolfsbane thread into silk robes 

* A children's rhyme about an amphiptere eating 
various fruits 

* Aplan for a "romantic night of fairy sniping", including opinions 
on weapons and ammunition 

¢ The shortest instance to date, a half-sheet of paper bearing a 
stylized tree icon and the phrase, “If asked again, would you 
go with me?” 


SCP-2175 was discovered following the interception of a message 
which determined the Windsor Bridge to be a rendezvous point for 
members of the Serpent's Hand. Diagrams and a personal vignette 


confirming Hand activity were later obtained from initial investigation 
of the bridge. SCP-2175 is currently believed to be caused or 
maintained by members of the Serpent’s Hand, who may actively 
use the phenomenon to facilitate exchange of information at the 
location. Though the Foundation has yet to directly intercept a 
Serpent's Hand member at the bridge, it is confirmed that members 
of the group are presently aware of Foundation investigation of 
SCP-2175 (see Addendum SCP-21 75-4). 


Addendum 2175-1: On // ,seven SCP-2175-1 instances were 
recovered, each containing a unique verse variation on the lyrics of 
the ballad “Scarborough Fair’. These recoveries coincided with the 
appearance of a group of seven individuals on the bridge, one of 
whom was under Foundation investigation for potential connections 
to the Serpent’s Hand. Though Foundation personnel were able to 
recover the documents, none of the seven individuals could be 
located after their initial sighting. The circumstances of their 
disappearance are currently unknown. 


Addendum 2175-2: Analysis of the verse variations deemed the 
lyrics to be non-anomalous. The Scarborough Protocol was created 
on //_ by Doctor R. Mercer to address the potential of SCP-2175 
manifesting documents consisting of sensitive information when 
Foundation agents come into contact with the location. Repeated 
trials of the behavioral procedure (mentally reciting the recovered 
verses and focusing only tangentially on the bridge) have 
demonstrated fairly consistent success: roughly 70% of manifested 
documents that do result from Foundation proxy activity consist 
entirely of lyrics from the ballad, with no other information present. 


Addendum 2175-3: An incident on / / involved an instance of 
SCP-2175-1 manifesting during a period of high bridge traffic: while 
most passersby did not acknowledge the presence of the document, 
a previously-unnoticed individual wearing hooded clothing was able 
to obtain the instance and disappear amongst the crowd before 
Foundation agents could intervene. Based on further 
reconnaissance work, it is theorized that instances of SCP-2175-1 
may only be noticed and recovered by an individual who is 
purposely searching the bridge. 


Addendum 2175-4: As of / / ,33 SCP-2175-1 instances 


containing a lyrics variation have been noted. The most recent 
content is as follows: 


Are you going to Scarborough Fair? 
You've thus learn'ed naught but the rhyme; 
Forever barred be the bridge o’er there, 
Till you are a true friend of mine.

SCP-2176: Ghostlight™ 


Item #: SCP-2176 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-2176 
containing Class-A ectomorphs are to be stored in a Class-4 
Ectoproof Containment Vault at Site-96. 


Titan Consumer Appliances and Electronics is to be monitored by 
Foundation agents to ensure that any new paratechnology products 
developed by the company will not threaten normalcy. 


Description: SCP-21 76 is a brand of anomalous lightbulbs 
developed by Titan Consumer Appliances and Electronics, ! 
originally marketed under the name "Ghostlight™". 


The outward appearance of SCP-2176 brand lightbulbs resembles 
that of non-anomalous fluorescent lightbulbs sold for household use. 
However, their operating principles are analogous to those of an 
incandescent lamp, which uses an electric current to heat a tungsten 
filament. A similar process is used in SCP-2176 bulbs, with the 
tungsten filament replaced by a high-density ectoplasm2 solution 
consisting of ectomorphs.$ In order to prevent ectoplasm leakage 
from the bulb, the interior surface is treated with an ectoproof 
coating. 


Documents and testimony taken from TCAE representatives show 
that the ectoplasm used in SCP-2176 was sourced from a number of 
third-party suppliers, primarily the Group of Interest known as "The 
Factory" (Gol-010). Analysis has revealed that Factory-supplied 
ectoplasm consists of Class-A and -B ectomorphs, while ectoplasm 
sourced from other suppliers consists of Class-B, -C, and -D 
ectomorphs in varying amounts.4 It is believed that TCAE was 
unaware of this fact. 


TCAE marketed SCP-2176 as a new type of fluorescent lightbulb, 
one which was cheaper, safer, and longer lasting. However, these 
lightbulbs posed a hazard due to the presence of Class-A 
ectomorphs within them. When an SCP-2176 lightbulb is shattered, 
the ectomorphs contained within are released into the surrounding 
environment. While the Class-B, -C, and -D ectomorphs safely 
dissipate and disperse when this happens, the Class-A ectomorphs 
remain in the area and cause anomalous events, usually involving 
electrical malfunctions. 


Foundation involvement and containment efforts began in 2006, 
approximately six months after TCAE began selling SCP-2176 to 
consumers, following a rise in the number of household 
electrocutions. Once a causal link to SCP-2176 was established, the 
Foundation was able to convince TCAE to order a recall of the 
defective bulbs. Subsequent investigation revealed the presence of 
Class-A ectomorphs in approximately 40% of all SCP-2176 
lightbulbs. Ongoing containment is being performed by MTF Mu-13 
("Ghostbusters") through use of Hoffman Portable Electro- 
Thaumic Units. 


Addendum 2176-1: TCAE has since ceased its use of the Factory 
as a supplier, and has agreed to follow Foundation safety standards 
and marketing guidelines for products containing paratechnology. 
This is considered a cheaper and more reliable method of 
maintaining normalcy than forcing TCAE to cease its operations. As 
part of this agreement, TCAE will also begin supplying the 
Foundation with certain pieces of necessary paratechnology, 
starting with improved Kardec Counters.°

3. Ectomorphs are anomalous entities composed of ectoplasm, 
sometimes created by the death of a living organism. In less clinical 


language, they are often called ghosts. 

4. Ectomorphs are classified based on sapiency and agency (ability 
to take physical action). Only Class-A ectomorphs possess both 
sapiency and agency. Class-B possess sapiency but not agency, 
Class-C possess agency but not sapiency, and Class-D possess 
neither.

SCP-2177: Yellow Journal Infection 


Item #: SCP-2177 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: STRIX intelligence packages 
embedded in library collections management software are to monitor 
institutions for titles associated with SCP-2177 infection. Infections 
have been identified in 17 institutions, including academic libraries, 

private collections, and the former non-classified public library of 
Site 111. 


Infected institutions are to be infiltrated by at least two Level-2 
personnel in supervisory positions, including at least one 
containment specialist with training in library/information science. 
SCP-2177 infections are to be quarantined in restricted collections 
or secure archives not open to the public. In order to avoid Alpha 
events, new instances of SCP-2177-1 must be shelved according to 
existing institutional policies. No attempt should be allowed to 
remove SCP-2177 infections from these institutions. Civilians 
exposed to SCP-2177-1 are to be detained and administered Class 
C amnestics. 


In order to avoid Beta events, Regional Directors have been 
authorized to provide financial and political support required to keep 
infected institutions in operation. If a Beta event is unavoidable, 
Mobile Task Force Alpha-4 ("Pony Express") is to 
intercept all deliveries of documents to vulnerable institutions and 
seize SCP-2177-1 instances until such time as a suitable institution 
can be infiltrated and infected. 


Description: SCP-2177 is a virus-like pathogen that targets libraries 
holding print subscriptions to large numbers (> 50) of technical 
journals. SCP-2177 takes the form of documentation requesting that 
a journal or document be added to the institution’s collection. This 
request is always in the correct format for the receiving institution, 


and occasionally includes misinformation suggesting a pre-existing 
record. Once SCP-2177 has been entered into the catalog in any 
capacity, its record is altered to indicate an ongoing subscription to a 
technical journal. This facilitates reproduction, with new instances of 
SCP-2177-1 arriving amongst existing subscriptions. Reproduction 
rates range from 1 item every three months to 1 item per month2. 


SCP-2177-1 refers to the physical carapace of SCP-2177, which 
always takes the form of a 24 x 30 cm technical journal bound in 
yellow pasteboard. SCP-2177-1 always contains the SCP-2177 
pathogen, although in advanced infections this may only consist of a 
tailored address label. SCP-2177-1 contents and findings are not 
anomalous, but always refer to large-scale unethical testing on 
human subjects. (Sample contents of SCP-2177-1 are available in 
Addendum 2177-01.) 


Alpha events occur when infected institutions intentionally discard 
new instances of SCP-2177-1, attempt to physically remove all 
SCP-2177-1 instances, or attempt to eliminate SCP-2177 from the 
catalog. SCP-2177 infections have been shown to adapt to these 
threats in the following ways: 

- Drastically increasing reproduction rates (up to 1 item per week). 
- Subdividing to multiply reproduction (e.g dividing a title into Series 
A, B, and C) 

- Creating additional instances of infection under other titles and 
technical fields. 


Beta events occur when an SCP-2177 infection is successfully 
eliminated or when an infected institution ceases operation. In Beta 
events, SCP-2177 will be transmitted to other vulnerable libraries 
until at least one institution becomes infected. Transmission vectors 
include any shipment of documents to a library, including returned 
materials and large donations. SCP-2177 will initially target 
institutions with names or street addresses superficially similar to the 
previously-infected institution, but these criteria become less strict 
as transmission time increases.

SCP-2178: Great Sage 


Item #: SCP-2178 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Provisional Site- has been 
established at the base of SCP-2178 in order to provide housing and 
supplies for personnel assigned to SCP-21 78. A circular security 
perimeter with a radius of three kilometers is to be established 
around SCP-2178 and regularly patrolled. Because of SCP-2178’s 
remote location, the possibility of civilians accidentally finding 
SCP-2178 is extremely unlikely; as such, individuals found 
attempting to breach SCP-2178’s security perimeter are to be 
detained as potential persons of interest. 


Description: SCP-21 78 is a large rock formation located in the 
Himalayas mountain range. From base to peak, it is approximately 
162 meters tall; the elevation at the peak of SCP-21 78 is 
approximately 6.5 kilometers. SCP-2178 resembles a closed fist. A 
human head, designated SCP-2178-1, is affixed to the base of 
SCP-2178. SCP-2178-1 appears to belong to an adolescent woman 
of Han Chinese ancestry. 


SCP-2178 undergoes anomalous changes, creating environmental 
conditions impossible for its location, in a 360 day cycle. The cycle 
has five phases of 72 days each. 


¢ In the first phase, SCP-2178 is covered in shrubbery, light 
forest, and grass. The temperature of SCP-2178 is 
approximately 15 degrees Celsius. 


¢ In the second phase, all plant matter on SCP-2178 begins to 
dry; brush fires are common in this period. Temperature 
increases to approximately 30 degrees Celsius. 


¢ In the third phase, all plant matter on SCP-2178 has been 


completely burned away; SCP-2178 exhibits minimal 
anomalous activity during this phase. Temperature is 
approximately 20 degrees Celsius. 


In the fourth phase, clouds moving from east to west 
continuously cover SCP-2178, greatly decreasing visibility. 
Temperature drops to approximately eight degrees Celsius. 
Expeditions to SCP-2178 during this time have revealed that it 
is covered in snow despite the temperature being above 
water's freezing point. Spontaneous magnetic fields pointing 
in random directions and ranging in magnitude from 50 to 700 
microtesla appear in the area surrounding SCP-2178 during 
this time. 


In the fifth phase, temperature drops to negative three 
degrees Celsius. Despite the decrease in temperature below 
water's freezing point, the snow covering SCP-2178 melts, 
generating streams and rivers which pour down the sides of 
SCP-2178. The climate surrounding SCP-2178 is perpetually 
rainy during this period. Analysis of the water produced by 
SCP-2178 in this period shows that the water is unusually rich 
in silt and minerals. The flow of water across SCP-2178 
enriches the soil, which gives rise to a rapid growth of 
vegetation, initiating the first phase and re-iterating the cycle. 


SCP-2178-1 is both alive and conscious. It suffers no injuries from 
its environment and has no need for food or drink. When 
SCP-2178-1 is questioned, it does not provide any information about 
its origins and is extremely disoriented. SCP-2178-1 is aware of its 
condition, but does not exhibit any signs of distress. It has proven 
impossible to dig into or otherwise damage SCP-2178, making 
retrieval of SCP-2178-1 impossible.

dynamic. For something small and permanent like me, 
there is no place in the universe to stay without being 
wiped away... 


Dr. Zhang: Can you please elaborate? 
SCP-2178-1: It is warm here. Who are you? 
<End Log> 


Addendum-2178A: On / /20 , Provisional Site- personnel 
apprehended an individual attempting to breach SCP-2178’s 
perimeter. The individual was identified as Weidong Chen, a 
Taiwanese citizen. Chen is currently held at [REDACTED] as a 
Person of Interest. Further details regarding Chen are classified to 
Level 4/2178 personnel on a need-to-know basis. 


Immediately after participating in Chen’s arrest, Agent Barnes 


reported significant mental disorientation and dysphoria. Two days 
afterwards, Agent Barnes claimed to have new memories of an 
event in his past that he had not taken part in. Details of this event 
are classified Level 4/2178; there is convincing evidence that the 
event is strongly related to SCP-2178. 


Agent Barnes claims that his symptoms began immediately after 
directly handling a photograph on Chen’s person. The photograph 
was of Chen, a woman who appeared to be SCP-2178-1, and a third 
individual with a digitally obscured face. 


On the back of the picture, a note is written in Chinese. Translated 
into English, it reads: 


Once upon a time, an arrogant, crude, trickster decided 
that he could challenge Heaven. | wonder if you ever 
thought that things would come to this? Tomorrow, a 
foolish girl is going to try the same thing as the trickster. 
Don't worry. All this time, I've known that | am not strong 
or cunning. So this is insurance. R.W. can't kill me, but 
even if he is a coward, he has stomach enough to wipe 
me. Whatever happens tomorrow, this photograph will 
remember it all, and if need be, it will help me remember. 
If you ever need to use this, the Hand is finished. If you 
need to use this and you fail, this is also a good-bye. 


One day we'll look back on this and think that somebody 
was just playing a trick on us all. 


The photograph has not displayed any anomalous properties since. 
+ Level 4/2178 clearance required 


Document-21 78-06 


Foreword: Use of memory-enhancing 
paramedication allowed Agent Barnes to recall 
the anomalous event memory with increased 
precision. Agent Barnes reported that the 
event took place in a location resembling 
known descriptions of the Wanderer’s Library, 


known to be a base of operations for the 
Serpent’s Hand, a Group of Interest. The event 
largely consists of a conversation between a 
man, described as tall and pale-skinned, with 
Caucasian features, and a woman, whose face 
cannot be seen. Her voice is described as 
young, with a slight Mandarin accent. 


A transcript of Agent Barnes’ recollection of 
the conversation is provided below. 


<Begin Log> 

Woman: So you went ahead and did it. 
Man: Y—yeah. | did. 

Woman: And? 


Man: There are some things that we just have 
to do, aren’t there? Look, | don’t like this, | 
don't like this at all, if it were up to me we’d 
never have to do this, and look, okay, I’m still 
not sure that it’s the right thing to do— 


Woman: Oh, come on. You weren't sure? 
You've got to be kidding me. 


Man: |—please, I'm confiding this in you. 


Woman: What do | care what you think? 
You've already cast the die. What can you do 
to reverse your decision? Will you go to the 
Book-Burners! and say, “Haha, just kidding, 
we're not interested in getting with your 
program after all?” 


Man: | don’t know. 


Woman: And there’s nothing you can do to 
change what you’ve done to the Hand. 


Man | don’t know, all right! Even given what 
they've done to us, the Book-Burners are 
bound by the Universal Declaration of Human 
Rights. If we don’t interfere with the status quo, 
they will protect us as human beings. This was 
the right decision. | made the right choice. We 
can’t survive—can't live on like this. You don’t 
know. You don’t understand. 


Woman: | don’t understand? | feel like | 
understand things pretty well. You did this out 
of cowardice. 


Man: You don’t understand what it’s like to 
have to fear stepping outside the library, 
because if you do then men in masks are 
going to shoot you, or worse, you'll see 
someone in here and next time you step 
outside you'll hear that they’re dead...you 
don’t understand what it’s like because you'll 
challenge whoever you want. You don’t. You 
don’t know—or worse, worse, you step outside 
and you'll see your family again, except they’re 
behind bars, in a cage forever, while their mind 
slowly breaks, and even if you find them again 
you'll look them in the face and they won’t 
know who you are. That’s worse, isn’t it? Even 
the Book-Burners have their mercies if you 
compare them to the Jailers.2 


Woman: You’re fear-mongering. We don’t 
compromise. 


Man: If we make concessions to them, they 
will protect us. 


Woman: Concessions? What will you do for 

those who won't concede? The ones who will 
still fight? Or the ones who couldn't integrate 

even if they wanted to? 


Man: I...| don’t know. 


Woman: We stand for something. Everywhere 
else, people want to protect their precious 
consensus reality. Consensus reality. God, 
what a joke. So long as reality is decided by a 
majority, there will always be a minority that 
has no place in that reality. We are the refuge 
and the salvation from organizations like the 
Global Occult Coalition—it's another hilarious 
hypocrisy, a supposed coalition of the occult 
that uses the magic it likes to stamp out the 
magic it doesn't. Don't you remember? When 
they came for the outcast, we interceded. Or, 
rather, we did. 


Man: |— 


Woman: And what’s even worse is that you 
think they’ll keep their word! How laughable. 
D.C. Al Fine regularly threatens major 
members of the 108 if they do not toe Her 
Mightiness’ line. What happens to the Hand 
under the global reign of the Book-Burners? 
Even you, for all your lack of spine, have some 
interests. Your life and safety seem to take 
precedence. And one day, those things will be 
in the way of what they want. 


Man: So what’s your alternative, then? How 
will you keep us alive? 


Woman: Stay alive? Staying alive means 
fighting. It always has. | have no concrete 
answers, but let me tell you, I’m more than 
arrogant enough to say that I'll accept no world 
where the alien is marginalized and hunted as 
a matter of routine under a banner of peace 
and justice. If heaven will not have you and if 
you have any pride as a human being, then 
the only option is to challenge heaven itself. To 


bring it crashing down. 
Man: We can’t do that! 
Woman: It's been done. | could do it again. 


Man: No. No, earlier, you were right. It doesn’t 
matter what you say. | made this decision, and 
| can’t undo it. We need protection. The jailers 
are never going to give that to us. But...but the 
book-burners...what the hell are you going to 
do about this? What are you going to do to 
me? 


Woman: What am | going to do? 


Man: We’re...we’re friends, right? You can’t 
just... 


Woman: Ah...your mistress. Bianca, right? 
She hated you. 


Man: What? 


Woman: She hated you for letting her brother 
die. | found her crying over one of his pictures 
one night, and she said that she would never 
forgive you for that. 


Man: How could you? How dare you? I—I'Il— 


At this point in time, Agent Barnes reports that 
several anomalous individuals gather behind 
the man. These individuals appear to lack 
mouths. All individuals appear to be holding 
lanterns in their left hands. 


Man: You’re lying to me. Provoking me to 
attack you, so that the Library makes me pay. 


Woman: Am |? 


« SCP-246 | SCP-247 | SCP-248 » 


Man: You’re not a God, or a hero, or a...a 
Great Sage Equal to Heaven, that stupid title... 
Don't you understand? It doesn't matter what 
your ancestor did. They write books and 
worship him, not you. You're like me. You’re 
scared and weak, and you’re terrified that I'll 
find out exactly how weak you are. What have 
you done? You almost brought down heaven? 
You never did that. He did. 


Woman: You're calling me weak? That's 
hilarious. 


Man: You know, if you want to disagree with 
me, maybe, maybe you should live through 
what I’m trying to prevent. Maybe if you want 
to act like you're as big as your forefather, 
maybe you should live through what he went 
through. See...see? You really are his 
descendant. For his hubris, he was trapped 
under a mountain of the five elements. And | 
guess I'm the Buddha. 


The man whistles. A doorway appears in a 
bookshelf next to the man. 


Woman: A Way? How did you— 


Man: I'm doing you a service, all right? You'll 
find peace. I’m sorry. 


<End Log> 


Afterword: Agent Barnes is strongly 
convinced that the transcribed events are not 
his memories, and are instead the memories 
of the woman. Agent Barnes reports that, at 
various points in the memory, the woman's 
limbs can be seen as if from a first-person 
point of view. 


Before using paramedication, Agent Barnes 
had symptoms consistent with phantom limb 
syndrome in his lower back. After transcribing 
the interview, Agent Barnes claimed to have 
remembered having a monkey’s tail 
throughout the event. Later, his phantom limb 
symptoms disappeared.

SCP-2179: False Alarm 


Item #: SCP-2179 
Object Class: Safe Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2179 must be monitored 
at all times and kept loaded with ticker-tape to ensure maximum 
notice of an 2179-A event; within ten minutes of such an event, 
Foundation agents must be present at Zone 2179. If this fails, at 
least two MTFs are to be dispatched to Zone 2179 immediately, and 
both the Leicestershire Police and the Ministry of Defence notified in 
case further reinforcements are required. 


Description: SCP-2179 is a modified fire alarm bell, currently 
located in an observation chamber at Site 18. Attached to the device 
is a ticker-tape machine; both the bell and the tape machine are 
labelled as being produced in 1927. 


A 2179-A event occurs when either a potential threat to human lives 
or an anomalous object/phenomenon (or both) are detected within 
120m of the main entrance to Kibworth Harcourt Primary School, in 
Leicestershire, UK (hereafter referred to as Zone 2179). The bell 
rings at 75 decibels at a distance of 5m, and continues until the 
hazard has been contained or is no longer relevant; ticker tape is 
dispensed summarising the threat. 


The following is a series of excerpts from the official incident log; 
see LOG-2179-INCD for full details. 


Incident-01 

SCP-2179 Threat Summary: CONFLAGRATION 
INVOLVING MULTIPLE HUMAN DWELLINGS 

Notes: Faulty wiring in the electrical system resulted in a 
small fire, destroying the cardboard castles made by 
Form 3b. No further damage discovered. 


Incident-02 

SCP-2179 Threat Summary: MOTOR VEHICLE 
COLLISION VICTIM COUNT 32 

Notes: While reversing, the school bus collided with the 
headmaster's car, a Honda Civic. One child suffered 
concussion; the car's rear bumper was dented 
noticeably. 


Incident-03 

SCP-2179 Threat Summary: ANOMALY DETECTED 
IMMOVABLE OBJECT 

Notes: Lid of jam jar stuck and unable to be removed. 
While field tests seemed to corroborate SCP-2179’s 
summary, further analysis at Site-18 succeeded in 
removing the lid by applying warm water and a dishcloth. 


No actual proof of threat to human life or anomalous objects was 
obtained throughout Incidents 01 through 08; response to 2179-A 
events was set at priority LOW. 


Incident-09 


Time: 13:45 

SCP-2179 Threat Summary: ANOMALY MULTIPLE 
UNIDENTIFIED CANIDS IN ZONE 

Notes: No deployment of Foundation assets. 


Time: 13:55 

SCP-2179 Threat Summary: CANIDS LAUNCHING 
UNPROVOKED ASSAULT ON HUMANS 

Notes: No deployment of Foundation assets. 


Time: 13:56 

SCP-2179 Threat Summary: MULTIPLE CASUALTIES 
IN CANID ATTACK 

Notes: No deployment of Foundation assets. 


Time: 13:57 

SCP-2179 Threat Summary: 5+ DEAD HUMANS AS 
RESULT OF CANID ATTACK 

Notes: Official sources in the Kibworth Harcourt area 


confirmed the summary; deployment of Foundation 
assets, and arrival at 14:10. Unidentified canids were 
discovered and subdued; civilian casualties numbered 7 
dead and 9 injured. Canid specimens (both alive and 
deceased) were returned to Site-18 for examination; the 
field report describes them as 120kg specimens and 
mottled-grey in colouration, but on arrival at Site-18 they 
were immediately identified as two dead Yorkshire 
Terriers and one sedated Cocker Spaniel. 


After Incident-09, response to 2179-A event was set at priority 
URGENT, and current containment procedures enacted.

SCP-2180: The Living Cave Painting 


Item #: SCP-2180 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The entrance to the cave 
SCP-2180 is located in is to be closed off with a steel hatch, with 
guards patrolling an area of 100 meters around it. Any additional 
entrances to the cave system are to be closed off in the same 
manner. Any non-Foundation personnel who find the cave entrance 
or enter the cave system are to be warded away with the most 
applicable cover story (view Document 2180-1K9 for a full list). Non- 
Foundation personnel who see SCP-2180 are to be administered 
Class-A amnestics. SCP-2180 is to be monitored daily with cameras 
for new events in the painting or possible changes in its nature. 


Description: SCP-2180 is a cave painting located in a cave system 
in, Austria. The painting covers an area 10 meters high and 16 
meters long on one of the cave walls. It is unknown when SCP-2180 
was made, but the art resembles Paleolithic Era cave paintings 
drawn by early humans. The colors used are those typical of the 
time period. On the left side of SCP-2180 is a mountain, with a cross 
section of a cave network inside it. Located in one of the deeper 
areas of the cave is the number "2067," which is etched onto the 
cave wall in Arabic numerals. Starting at the base of the mountain is 
a forest, which covers the middle area of SCP-2180. On the right 
side is a field. The top quarter features a sky, which contains 
illustrations that are analogous to a sun and moon. Humans and 
animals from the Paleolithic Era are present in SCP-2180. Based on 
current observations SCP-2180 doesn't take place in any specific 
location or time during the era, and has fauna from different 
continents. 


All organisms in SCP-2180 are animate, and will interact with each 
other and the environment. Humans have been observed to hunt for 


food, eat, sleep, light fires, and interact with each other. Animals 
have been observed to eat food and, depending on the species, 
hunt. Both have been observed to reproduce. Plant life has been 
observed to grow and wither. Neither water nor drinking have been 
observed. Animals will often cross the painting's horizon, but 
humans rarely do. 


SCP-2180 has a day-night cycle, with the sun and moon moving on 
and off the sides of the painting (right side to left side). During the 
painting's night, the sky changes from the color of the cave wall to a 
dark gray. The day-night cycle of SCP-2180 corresponds with 
Central European Time. Weather and lunar cycles do not appear to 
occur. 


Paint samples taken from SCP-2180 have no known anomalous 
properties. Uranium-series dating of SCP-2180 suggests that the 
painting is 2.5 billion years old, predating any known human 
civilization. 


Addendum: 
+ Record of Important Observations of SCP-2180 


10/6/  - 2:43 PM: One of the human males 
breaks his spear, and begins to build a new 
one. First recorded instance of humans 
crafting tools. 


10/8/ - 5:21 PM: A group of four humans 
successfully kill a Smilodon. Said Smilodon 
had been seen roaming near the mountain on 
multiple occasions. The hide is made into 
clothing and the corpse is brought to the cave 
to be eaten. The humans appear to rejoice. 
One of the hunters dies from injuries he 
suffered. 


10/8/ -6:35 PM: What resembles to be a 
funeral is held for the dead hunter. He is 
buried at the base of the mountain. 


10/10/ -9:21 AM: One of the adult humans 
teaches a child how to make tools, and shows 
him various animals. First recorded instance of 
teaching. 


10/13/ -11:13 AM: The animals in the forest 
all pause and stare at the sky. After four 
minutes they stop. 


10/16/ -10:01 PM: The humans begin 
dancing around the fire in the cave. First 
recorded instance of ceremonies being 
performed. 


10/18/ - 7:03 AM: A gold colored Glyptodon 
enters the forest from the right side of the 
painting, after moving through the field. 
Animals avoid the creature. This is the first 
observation of colors not used in Paleolithic 
art. 


10/18/ -9:43 AM: The gold Glyptodon 
breaks apart and appears to die. Animals and 
humans continue to avoid the remains. 


10/21/  -8:31 PM: One of the children in the 
cave attempts to explore the caves, but one of 
the adults stops him. The adult scolds the 
child, and both go back to the camp fire. 


10/23/ -10:52 AM: A group of humans enter 
the field from the right of the painting. They 
construct makeshift tents and begin to hunt 
animals. This is the first time humans outside 
of the main group have been seen. 


10/23/  - 12:23 PM: The humans from the 
cave encounter the humans from the field. 
They regard each other warily, but begin to 
interact. After ten minutes they begin to 
socialize. 


10/23/ -6:47 PM: After socialization, both 
groups return to their homes. 


10/24/ -6:08 AM: A blue fire with a white 
circle in the center of it appears in the fields. 
After three minutes it vanishes. 


10/27/ -8:09 AM: The humans from the field 
begin a small farm to grow berries. The 
humans from the cave appear to be intrigued 
by this. This is the first observation of farming 
in SCP-2180. 


10/28/ -1:21 PM: The cave humans start to 
work on making a farm near the mountain, with 
the field humans apparently aiding them. No 
water appears to be used in either farm. 


10/28/ - 2:25 PM: A deer (exact species 
unknown) attempts to eat the berries of the 
cave humans, and is warded away. A fence is 
constructed around the farm. This the first time 
the cave humans have been seen to build 
structures. 


10/29/. - 3:14 AM: Eight purple ovals appear 
around the moon. After one minute they 
vanish. 


11/1/_  - 8:28 AM: The field humans begin 
building a primitive wooden hut. After several 
hours it is completed. 


11/2/ -9:41 AM: The cave humans begin 
chopping down trees to expand their farm. The 
remains of the gold Glyptodon have become a 
rust color, and have broken apart into smaller 
pieces. Humans and animals appear to be less 
cautious around the remains. 


11/3/  - 2:57 AM: A black circle appears 


underneath one of the sleeping field humans, 
and a black humanoid figure steps out of it. 
The figure grabs the human and pulls him into 
the circle. Following this the circle fades away. 


11/3/  - 7:05 AM: The field humans begin 
searching for their missing member. After five 
hours they give up. One of the females 
appears upset. 


11/4/ - 11:50 AM: One of the cave humans 
kicks some dirt and uncovers a silver sliver in 
the ground. He attempts to pick it up and fails, 
and begins digging with his hands. At this time 
a short-faced bear begins to attack the field 
humans. 


11/4/.  - 11:53 AM: The man digging is 
interrupted by one of the field humans, who 
leads him to their settlement. The man who 
was digging assists in fighting off the bear. 
After five minutes the bear runs away. 


11/4/ -11:56 AM: The man from the cave 
returns to the spot where he was digging. 
Three other hunters from the cave assist him 


in digging. 


11/4/ -5:08 PM: The cave humans succeed 
in digging up most of the object. The object 
resembles a nuclear warhead. 


11/4/ -5:31 PM: The cave and field humans 
meet around the object and talk. The field 
humans appear frightened by it, and an 
altercation starts. After an hour both return to 
their homes. 


11/5/ + -6:41 AM: The field humans leave 
their home, and head over the horizon. The 
cave humans do not investigate. 


SCP-248: 110% 


Item #: SCP-248 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-248 is to be kept in a fire- 
proof safe in Dr. Mize's office unless being used directly for testing 
purposes. The safe has a keypad-style opening mechanism. Any 
personnel of at least Level 2 Security Clearance have full permission 
to access SCP-248, as the numeric code is [REDACTED]. 


Description: SCP-248 is a twenty-five (25) page booklet of stickers, 
each reading "110%" with a small pressed imprint of the words "The 
Factory" in the bottom right corner. The booklet itself is 7.5 cm in 
height and 15 cm in length. Each page of SCP-248 contains two (2) 
of the stickers, making a total of what would be fifty (50), but 
circumstances before its discovery have left only forty-nine (49) 
stickers. 


SCP-248 was discovered at a small house in , Georgia. The 
object came to the Foundation's attention after one (1) of the 
stickers was placed on an old, half disassembled tractor in the 
family's barn by the youngest son, Ronnie __. The tractor was 
suddenly able to operate as if it were fully functional, despite lacking 
much of the engine and frame. Agents removed SCP-248 and the 
tractor from the family in exchange for a bogus coupon for free 
pesticides for the farm. The family was administered standard Class 
A amnestics and left alive. 


Dr. Mize received SCP-248 upon its arrival to Site- and took deep 
interest in its apparent abilities. The tractor is now labeled 
SCP-248-1. See Addendum 248-01 for testing of SCP-248-1. 


Testing of SCP-248 has been approved by Dr. Mize. See 
Addendum-248-02 and below for preliminary tests. 


11/6/  - 4:12 AM: A blue flame burns the 
field, and the cave humans wake up and watch 
from their cave. After two hours the field and 
the structures there are gone and replaced 
with ash. Occasionally, blue dots appear there. 


11/7/  - 5:06 PM: One of the adults goes into 
one of the deeper areas of the cave and opens 
a locked box which was previously hidden 
behind a large rock. He pulls out a worn down 
book with the letters "SCP" on it. He gathers 
the children around and begins to show them 
the contents of it, which show drawings and 
labels for anomalies contained by the 
Foundation. He flips to a page about K 
scenario, and points outside of the cave. The 
children seem shocked. 


11/8/ =- 12:09 PM: A damaged white truck 
bearing the Foundation logo on it arrives at the 
edge of the forest. Three humans come of it, 
and one of them shoots a red flare into the air. 
The humans at the cave rush down and run 
over to the truck. At the truck some of them 
hug each other, and they celebrate. Black 
objects resembling guns and armor are taken 
out of the back of the truck, and the humans 
start to talk. They rush back to the cave and 
put the armor on. 


11/8/ - 5:06 PM: Animals leave the forest 
over the horizon. 


11/8/  - 9:14 PM: Dark blue humanoid figures 
emerge from a blue flame in the center of the 
forest. Said figures have a red circle on their 
head, two clawed fingers, and appear to 
control the fire. 


11/8/ -9:24 PM: [REDACTED]. The 
remaining humans retreat deeper into the 


caves. During this they encounter another 
another dark blue humanoid. 


11/8/  - 9:27 PM: [REDACTED] rush to the 
truck. 


11/8/ = - 9:34 PM: One of the remaining 
humans gets badly injured next to 
[REDACTED]. 


11/8/ - 9:36 PM: [REDACTED] 


1/1/_ - 12:00 AM: The etching of 2067 on the 
wall changes instantly to 2068. 


1/21/  - 12:00 AM: A lime green angelic 
figure with a red outline appears over the 
crater. For three seconds all of the colors on 
the painting turn lime green, then return to 
normal. The angelic being flies into the sky. 


3/30/ - 7:38 AM: Plant life begins to regrow 
in the crater and burnt field. 


7/1/ = - 1:00 PM: Animals begin to repopulate 
the forest. 


9/29/ -3:05 PM: A group of six humans 
arrive at the forest in a red van. 


Addendum-2: Based on the implications of near-future events 
observed in SCP-2180, monitoring it is to be made a high priority. 
Security will temporarily be increased at sites [REDACTED].

SCP-2181: Little Lock-a-Doors 


Item #: SCP-2181 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2181 is housed ina 
standard Humanoid containment cell at Site-145. Monitoring is to be 
done by closed-circuit camera only; cell should not have windows. 
Cell door is to be furnished with an external manual, non-electronic 
lock in addition to standard site-wide remote electronic locking 
mechanisms. The door is to remain closed and locked while 
personnel are within the cell. Should SCP-2181 lock the door to its 
containment cell, personnel are to wait fifteen minutes before 
manually disengaging the lock and reengaging remotely. SCP-2181 
is to be supplied with a misting bottle of saline fluid that should be 
refilled every two days. Requests for food, music and toys are to be 
brought to the Site Director for approval. 


Addendum: After Event 2181-02, personnel within the containment 
cell are to remain at least 5 meters from locked doors in the event 
that SCP-2181 becomes distressed. 


Description: SCP-2181 is a small humanoid of indeterminate 
gender with semi-opaque skin, appearing approximately seven 
years of age.! The orbits of the eyes are 11.5 cm in diameter,? with 
accompanying deformities to the frontal, parietal and zygomatic 
bones of the cranium. The eyelids are disproportionately small in 
comparison, and SCP-2181 has developed keratoconjunctivitis 
sicca$ as a result. SCP-2181 has considerably greater visual acuity 
and range than a normal human. 


Testing has revealed that SCP-2181 can close and lock any door 
within sight, as well as windows, hatches, and any other covering 
placed in a wall, ceiling or floor. SCP-2181 is not capable of opening 
doors at distance. SCP-2181 will close and lock or seal doors 
seemingly at random, reacting with extreme distress if not allowed or 


able to do so. Its behavior when left alone is otherwise generally 
considered normal for a seven-year-old child,4 though introversion 
and reluctance to communicate have increased since Event 
2181-02. 


SCP-2181 was contained on March 1, 1976, when it exited 
Site-145's third floor men's lavatory, closing and sealing the door 
behind itself.5 SCP-2181 asked to be hidden from a malevolent 
entity or force, details of which have not been provided to date. The 
lavatory wall had to be manually breached to effect rescue of two 
personnel locked within. 


Addendum: Log of Event 2181-02 


Preface: Dr. Amelia Wygandt, head researcher for 
SCP-2181, had served as SCP-2181's psychologist for 
the past four years, in the hope of reducing its 
introversion and gaining information about its origin. 


Time stamp: 16:52, //1980 


00:00: Dr. Wygandt brings the session to a close and 
directs SCP-2181 in cleaning up building block toys. 
Containment cell door is closed, per regulations. 


00:22: Dr. Wygandt asks SCP-2181 if it wishes to talk 
about where it came from. SCP-2181 shakes head and 
does not answer. Dr. Wygandt asks if it will describe how 
it reached Site-145. SCP-2181 responds that it "just 
walked in" and ignores further questions while silently 
gathering blocks. 


01:07: SCP-2181 cries out in alarm, turning to cell door. 
Remote electromagnetic locking mechanism engages. 


01:15: Dr. Wygandt moves to door and discovers it is 
locked. Dr. Wygandt informs SCP-2181 that future play 
sessions will be jeopardized if she is not allowed to leave 
the containment cell. 


01:31: SCP-2181 looks at Dr. Wygandt and places a 


finger against its lips. Site staff reports containment cell 
door lock override unresponsive. Dr. Wygandt continues 
attempting to open door and entreaties SCP-2181 to 
unlock it. 


01:57: Containment cell door opens. A hand, 
approximately 2 m high, covered in unidentifiable crystal 
formations, emerges from inside containment cell airlock, 
grasps Dr. Wygandt and draws her through door. 
Personnel mobilized outside containment cell report that 
outer door has been replaced with a view of deep space; 
command advises team should not engage. SCP-2181 
screams. Containment cell door slams shut. 


02:10: Outer door reappears, but is still locked. 


16:40: Remote lock override engages. Personnel enter 
cell and find no sign of Dr. Wygandt. SCP-2181 is curled 
in fetal position in corner furthest from door, crying. 


Endnote: SCP-2181 was unresponsive until moved to 
new containment cell, at which time it locked the door 
and would not allow remote override for a period of 255 
hours. Surveillance indicated it spent most of this time 
sitting on the bed and giggling or sleeping. When asked 
about the incident, SCP-2181 refused to provide any 
information about the entity or the whereabouts of Dr. 
Wyganat. Containment procedures updated / /1980. 


Addendum: Log of Event 2181-04 


On 6/12/2005, Site-145 experienced a power failure and 
site-wide containment breach. (See Document 81- 
CB-20051206.) SCP-2181 did not leave its cell during 
this time. After containment was reestablished, routine 
containment checks revealed SCP-2181 playing with a 
small artifact made of crudely interlocking bones. Artifact 
was recovered and classified as Anomalous Item 
2181-01. Bones did not conform to any known shape; 
testing revealed them to contain human DNA mixed with 
cetacean DNA and that of a third unknown species. 


Human DNA did not match any individual on file. Bones 
were inscribed with a series of lines that, when 
interpreted as binary code, read as follows: 


once upon a time 

there was a little prince 

who wandered where he shouldn't 
and saw a thing he shouldn't 

he tried to run a way 

and close the door behind 

that silly little prince 

it's not like he can hide 


When questioned about the item, SCP-2181 said, 
"Amelia sends her love." Examination of security footage 
did not reveal how SCP-2181 procured the item. 


Level 3 Clearance Required 
Addendum: Log of Event 2181-05 


On / /2014, a human right arm, severed 8 cm 
below the shoulder, was found on the hallway 
floor outside SCP-2181's containment cell and 
subsequently classified Anomalous Item 
2181-02. Surveillance footage gives no 
indication of how Al 2181-02 arrived at 
Site-145. Surreptitious questioning revealed no 
knowledge of the item by SCP-2181. 


Forensic analysis indicated the arm had been 
amputated with a serrated blade. It had 
previously been split along the anterior side, 
the bones removed and replaced with bones 
with similar composition to those of Anomalous 
Item 2181-01. DNA analysis of the surrounding 
tissue indicated the arm belonged to Dr. 
Amelia Wygandt; identification of the ring on 
the fourth finger confirmed this. Inscribed into 
the dorsal surface of the forearm was a 
message in Morse code, translated below. 


that is not the print 


Analysis concluded the message was 
inscribed via a serrated blade, though whether 
it was the same blade used to amputate the 
arm is unclear. Evaluation of containment of 
SCP-2181 is ongoing. 


Footnotes 

1. SCP-2181 has not aged visibly since containment. It does not 
require physical sustenance, though it often makes requests for 
baked sweets. 

2. Nearly five times that of a typical seven-year-old human. 

3. Excessive dryness of the eyes. 

4. SCP-2181 displays a number of abnormal behaviors, including 
giggling to itself when alone, violent play with toys, and extreme fear 
responses to doors slamming and unexpected changes in its 
surroundings. It is generally introverted and tends to mumble when 
speaking. Dr. Wygandt has given a diagnosis of posttraumatic stress 
disorder, likely stemming from emotional abuse, and has been 
assigned as SCP-2181's psychologist as of / / 

5. The lavatory door was not equipped with a lock.

SCP-2182: The Big Bang 


Item #: SCP-2182 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2182 is to be held within a 
containment room in Unit 9 at Site-18. Experimentation on 
SCP-2182 is currently barred. A mobile perimeter is to be 
established around instances of SCP-2182 for the purposes of 
monitoring during testing. 


Description: SCP-2182 is a bronze, winged rod similar in 
appearance to a traditional Greek caduceus. The rod is 35 cm long 
and entwined with ivory. Folded ivory wings similar to that of a bird 
form the base of the handle. The bronze and ivory are somehow 
capable of bending slightly while maintaining composition. 


SCP-2182 affects inanimate objects and materials, solid, liquid, and 
gas. Biological subjects are unaffected by SCP-2182. SCP-2182's 
effect differs depending on the object affected and the individual 
wielding SCP-2182. 


In general, SCP-2182 will cause objects to become animate in an 
anthropomorphic and sexually suggestive manner. Objects will often 
change shape and can continue action for up to three hours (as of 
the longest recording). The automatons are typically benign, non- 
sapient, and cease effect permanently. Certain inanimate objects 
are unaffected. Reasons for this are unknown. 


Effects differ with persons utilizing SCP-2182. SCP-2182 can 
typically be activated by grasping the handle and performing a 
thrusting motion at the intended object. The user must also be 
visualizing the object. 


Further details on SCP-2182 effects can be found in the 
accompanying testing logs. 


Addendum: Testing Logs. Researchers are to remain anonymous 
under Level Two clearance. 


Rock 

Rock began to crack in a way that resembled a vagina. This change 
occurred over a period of thirty minutes, ending with the object 
disintegrating into a mineral powder. Subject reported that they were 
sexually aroused by the effect. This effect seems to be present in all 
subjects who view the effects of SCP-2782. 

Bowi of Fruit 

Objects in the bowl shifted to resemble a penis. Fruit was in fact 
inanimate and shifted by the bowl. 

Door 

Main doors to the building opened slowly, at times closing for short 
moments. Doors open further than their intended design and cause 
slight stress damage to the waiis. 

Doorknob 

No effect, but subject was reportedly aroused. Similar effect with all 
testing subjects. 

Landifiii 

D-Class subject activated SCP-2182 while in a helicopter, 20 meters 
from the area. 

Ground disturbance similar to a magnitude 2 earthquake. Hollow 
objects in the area filled by non-hollow objects. Effect is still 
currently underway as of this date. There do not seem to be 
sufficient amounts of hollow objects in the area to receive loose 
materials, with materials struggling to fit into hollows. Dissembled 
cardboard boxes seem to restructure hesitantly into receptacles. 
They are filled immediately. 

Television, powered off. 

Television power and cable cord move around, stroking the 
television box. 

Television, power on. Static. 

Similar effect to powered off tests. 

Television, power on. C-SPAN programming. 

Television power and cable cord stroke figures on the screen at 
increasingly quicker rates. Television screen is destroyed from 
friction at the 5 minute mark. 

Pond 

Soft rolling waves on the pond water for 5 hours.

RE: Mirror Test 04/03/87 


Frank, the subject didn't report being affected by the 
events with the mirror. But something interesting 
happened in that a small stream of light was visible 
reflecting off of the mirror. Went straight up into the sky. 
Subject noticed this too. Looks like whatever's causing 
this reflects and is visible when it bounces. Might want to 
look into that. 


RE: RE: Mirror Test 04/03/87 


We've relayed the coordinates. Getting some funny 
pictures up there. Can't quite make it out yet, but, | guess 
we wouldn't see anything for a few years, would we? 
Depends on the kind of energy we're dealing with. Who 
knows. 


Let's try to be more cautious. 


URGENT MEMORANDUM: 
SCP-2182 


ALL FURTHER TESTING OF SCP-2182 IS TO BE STOPPED 


PLEASE SEE ATTACHED FILES, INCLUDING IMAGE 
SCP-2182-040389 M83 


REPEAT, ALL FURTHER TESTING IS TO BE STOPPED UNTIL 
FURTHER NOTICE 


EXTRANORMAL EVENT. POSSIBLE CONTAINMENT BREACH. 


Remaining stickers in SCP-248: forty-six (46). 
Addendum-248-01: 


SCP-248-1 is a 1979 John Deere tractor in an extremely rusted 
state. Most of the engine is missing, apparently from a restoration 
that was never completed. The frame is also partially missing near 
the rear of the tractor where the driver would be positioned. A sticker 
from SCP-248 is located near the back behind the left wheel. Upon 
turning the key to the ignition, SCP-248-1 starts up and operates as 
if it were in pristine condition. It is capable of achieving speeds up to 
42 km/h, slightly faster than a typical tractor of that specific model. 
Though the tractor operates with no engine, gasoline is still required 
to maintain power. Further testing is required to understand whether 
or not the tractor would operate without a gas tank. 


Removal of the gas tank resulted in SCP-248-1 becoming non- 
functional in all aspects. The whole of SCP-248-1 is to be held in 
hangar of Site- for future tests regarding the need for fuel, but 
lack of engine to create forward motion. 


Addendum-248-02: 


Testing of SCP-248 ona brand computer. A sticker from 
SCP-248 was placed on the motherboard of the computer, which 
was then started up like usual. The speed of the computer was 
greatly enhanced, as noted by Dr. , the owner of the 
computer. Diagnostics of the PC reveal the disc space to have 
increased from its maximum of 250 GB to 275 GB, as expected. The 
RAM had also reached the expected 110% efficiency. However, the 
interior was also experiencing similar results; the heat sink was 
pulling off 10% more heat than usual, and the conductivity of the 
wiring was allowing electricity to flow 10% more smoothly than the 
best modern superconductors. Why the wiring is achieving such a 
high rate of non-resistant flow, compared to the heat sinks slightly 
above-optimal cooling, is not understood at this time. Removal of the 
battery rendered the computer useless, just as in 
Addendum-248-01. Further study of SCP-248 and power supplies 
has been noted for future tests. 


Dr. ‘s computer is now labeled SCP-248-2 and is to be kept 


DISINFORMATION PROTOCOLS ARE IN EFFECT. EVENT 
ONGOING FOR AN ESTIMATED FIVE HOURS. ALL

SCP-2183: The Ride Never Ends 


Item #: SCP-2183 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2183 is currently 
contained on-site. The area surrounding SCP-2183 is blocked off to 
the public under the guise of renovation. A minimum of four Security 
Guards are to be assigned around the perimeter. 


Containment Specialists are assigned to direct SCP-2183-2 towards 
SCP-2183's containment area by surrounding it with drones on all 
sides needed to guide its movement. 


Efforts are currently focused towards suppressing public knowledge 
related to the existence of SCP-2183-1. Broadcasts pertaining to 
SCP-2183-1 are to be intercepted, and any remaining witnesses are 
to be administered Class-F amnestics. Testing of SCP-2183 is 
forbidden. 


Description: SCP-2183 is an unfinished roller coaster located in 

, Idaho. SCP-2183's physical portion features a maximum 
height of 37.2 m and a maximum speed of 88.5 km/h. SCP-2183 
also features a physical track length of 798.8 m, after which it 
abruptly ends. Carts of SCP-2183 that reach the end of the track 
travel on a set path in midair, presumably simulating the unfinished 
portion of SCP-2183. At the end of the ride, the carts of SCP-2183 
will reach the end of the station and prepare to travel again. 


On each ride, the carts of SCP-2183 follow a different path after 
reaching the physical end of the track. Due to this, the actual ride 
length of SCP-2183 varies, with the shortest recorded length 
reaching 1,080 m, and the longest recorded length reaching 
5,460 m. In midair, projected heights can reach up to 100 m and 
speeds can go up to 180 km/h. 


If a subject is placed within one of the carts of SCP-2183, (hereby 
designated SCP-2183-1), it will deviate significantly from other carts 
after traveling a length of approximately 2,000 m.1 


Addendum 2183-03: A subject (D-93730) was nominated to ride 
SCP-2183. During the test, all carts traveled as expected. However, 
the cart that D-93730 was in detached from the other carts in midair. 
The cart (hereby designated SCP-2183-1) took a sharp right turn 
and proceeded to loop around the surrounding amusement park 
several times. SCP-2183-1 then traveled between the concessions, 
stalls, and other rides before moving away from the amusement 
park. By then, the remaining carts of SCP-2183 finished their set 
course and returned to the end of the station. 


SCP-2183-1 continued to travel in a manner similar to the other 
carts as it moved north, towards the town , Idaho. Efforts were 
focused on stopping the cart from reaching the town, and retrieving 
D-93730. Over the course of several weeks, local reports of 
SCP-2183-1 sightings appeared in the neighboring towns. 


Over several months, SCP-2183-1 moved harmlessly through the 
towns of , ,and , among others. Reports suggest that 
SCP-2183-1 traveled within a range of 120-150 m above the ground, 
with a speed of approximately 200 km/h. Witnesses claimed to have 
seen/heard a man inside SCP-2183-1 ‘constantly yelling’ in the 
months following the first sightings. Efforts shifted towards 
suppressing reports and broadcasts of SCP-2183-1's movement, 
and regularly administering Class-A amnestics to local residents. 


D-93730 was approved for rescue via aerial lift. A helicopter, 
attached with a harness flew above SCP-2183-1, and was lowered 
as the helicopter attempted to follow SCP-2183-1's unpredictable 
path. D-93730, with his arms at his sides and an expression 
indicating duress, did not grab the harness. An Agent was lowered 
down with another harness in order to attach him to it. As the Agent 
approached SCP-2183-1, the cart maneuvered away from the 
Agent. Repeated attempts to approach the cart led to the same 
result. After two hours of attempted rescue, it was deemed a failure. 


SCP-2183-1 was approved to be stopped via projectile. A missile 
was fired from the Site-132 Armament Wing, approximately 24 km 


from SCP-2183-1. The missile was capable of being controlled 
remotely, and attempted to follow the cart's path. The projectile 
made a direct hit onto SCP-2183-1, and D-93730 was considered 
deceased. However, SCP-2183-1 did not sustain any damage and 
continued to travel midair. 


Approximately 4 years after the first sighting, SCP-2183-1 crashed 
34 km from its original containment area. SCP-2183-1 was intact, 
save for several burn marks on its sides. (presumably from repeated 
missile strikes) In addition, deep nicks and scratches were found on 
the restraining bar, the seat belt was partiality severed, anda 
mixture of blood/excrement was present within the cart. DNA 
analysis could not confirm whether the mixture belonged to 
D-93730. During the same time, personnel located by SCP-2183's 
containment area reported hearing auditory hallucinations similar to 
the ‘constant yelling’ alluded to in earlier reports. 


D-93730 (SCP-2183-2) was found suspended in air 124 m above 
SCP-2183-1, in a seated position. D-93730's arms are at his sides, 
and his expression indicates distress. D-93730 does not move from 
this position, nor demonstrate any signs of sentience. When 
approached from a distance of 50m, D-93730 begins to travel in 
midair, in a manner consistent with SCP-2183-1, until all objects are 
outside of his radius. 


After the incident, personnel regularly report seeing D-93730 within 
SCP-2183 whenever the carts begin to move. Whether this is a 
visual hallucination related to SCP-2183 is currently unknown.

SCP-2184: Stone Age 


Item #: SCP-2184 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Provisional Site-146 is 
constructed around the habitat of SCP-2184 for the sole purpose of 
its containment. Site-146 is surrounded by a 3 m tall steel fence 
equipped with security cameras to prevent unauthorized entry. The 
Site is disguised as a weapon test site used by the Russian Army. 
The only road leading to it is in the private use of a Foundation front 
organization. 3 Observation Posts are built around the border of 
Site-146. 


The staff of Site-146 must be supplied with clothing and weaponry 
created using materials and technology available in 4000 BC. If 
SCP-2184 attempts to breach containment by leaving Site-146, it 
must be forced back with these tools. 


The airspace above Site-146 is closed for non-Foundation aircrafts. 
Foundation aircrafts must maintain an altitude of at least 6 km above 
the Site. Personnel requiring the assistance of any artificial device 
(e.g. glasses, prostheses or a pacemaker) must not enter Site-146. 


Description: SCP-2184 is a steppe mammoth (WVammuthus 
trogontherii). Its height is approximately 12 m, making it three times 
taller than the largest known non-anomalous steppe mammoth 
specimen. SCP-2184 shows no sign of metabolism, growth or aging. 


SCP-2184 affects all objects created with post-Stone Age 
technology. Such objects malfunction in the proximity of SCP-2184, 
and modern materials crumble away. Latest technologies are 
affected from the longest range. The only items capable of 
functioning in the close proximity of SCP-2184 are the ones that 
were made from natural materials using Stone Age technology. 
Table-2184-A lists the results of the experiments conducted to 


understand the effect of SCP-2184. Note that the distances in the 
table are approximate since precise measurement is problematic in 
the vicinity of SCP-2184.

Natural fiber ropes The tensile strength of the 
items start decreasing at a 
distance of 500 to 1000 m

returned an Observation 
Post. When the distances 
between the cuts were 
measured again, lengths 
between 945 mm and 
T1062 mm were observed. 
Various items made of steel The items are rendered 
unusable and ultimately 
break into smaller pieces at 
Various objects dropped A helicopter took position at 
from high altitude altitude of 5 km directly 
above SCP-2184. Plastic 
balls dropped from the 
helicopter were destroyed 
mid-fall. Balls made of soil 
or ice reached the ground. 
Observers reported that the 
objects were scattered 


around SCP-2184, none of 
them hitting the target. 
Printed documents The ink disappears at a 
distance of 2 km, while the 
paper is damaged ata 
distance of 1.5 km. (Ranges 
can be longer if more 
modern materials are used.) 
Cameras Items rendered unusable at 
an approximate distance of 
3.5 km. It is possible to take 
photographs or record video 
footage of SCP-2184's 
location from farther away, 
but SCP-2184 itself is never 
recorded in these footages. 
Computers and mobile Items start malfunctioning at 
phones a distance of 4 km from 
SCP-2184. When removed 
from the proximity of 
SCP-2184 immediately after 
they were affected, the 
items remain functioning. 
However, at a distance of 
3.5 km multiple essential 
components deteriorate, 
damaging the items beyond 
repair. 


SCP-2184 was discovered by Agent in when he conducted 
a routine investigation to determine whether the mythology of the 
Siberian - tribe was based on the observation of anomalous 
objects or phenomena. Agent was given directions to the 
location where SCP-2184 was last seen, but the members of the 
tribe refused to accompany him. Agent confirmed the 
existence and anomalous nature of SCP-2184. When he 
approached the object, he lost all of his equipment including his own 
clothing, leaving him only with the leather cloak given to him by the 
tribesmen. 


Mobile Task Force Theta-2 ("Cavemen") was created to track the 
movements of the object. In the first 5 years of its observation, 
SCP-2184 stayed in a 25 km x 30 km territory. Provisional Site-146 
was built around this territory, in uninhabited taiga. The fence 
around the site is at least 10 km away from the nearest point where 
SCP-2184 was sighted. MTF Theta-2 was disbanded after the 
construction of Site-146 ended. During the Soviet era, access to 
Site-146 was granted to the Foundation under a secret pact made 
with high-ranking officers of the GRU Division "P".

Sample Recovery and Experiment Log-2184-1 
Date: / / 


Personnel: Agents : , and and 
D-53263. 


Equipment: Four spears and a bone knife 
were given to the Agents. All four personnel 
are given special clothing, resistant to the 
effect of SCP-2184. 


15:00 The Agents and D-53263 left 
Observation Post-146-A to search for 
SCP-2184. To ensure his cooperation, 
D-53263 was told about armed guards 
stationed around the Site. 

21:23 Agent 's watch stopped. Shortly 
after that D-53263 informed Agent about 
feeling intense pain on the chest. Agent 
noticed that the tattoo with D-53263's 
numerical designation disappeared, leaving 
minor wounds on his skin. 

23:30 (approx.) SCP-2184 was sighted. All 
four personnel hid from SCP-2184, waiting for 
it to sleep. 

1:00 (approx.) D-53263 was given the bone 
knife and instructed to collect a hair sample 
from the presumably dormant SCP-2184. 


D-53263 managed to collect the sample 
without waking SCP-2184, and gave it to 
Agent . Following this, the additional spear 
was given to D-53263, and he was ordered to 
collect a blood sample from SCP-2184 with it. 
After a brief argument with the Agents, 
D-53263 agreed and approached the object 
with the spear. He stabbed SCP-2184's hind 
leg then started running. D-53263 stumbled in 
the dark, and started screaming incoherently 
until he was crushed by the awakened 
SCP-2184. 

2:00 (approx.) The remains of the spear with 
the blood sample were collected by the 
Agents. 

6:26 The Agents arrived at Observation 
Post-146-A. 

7:10 Researchers noted that both samples 
inherited the technology-canceling effect of 
SCP-2184. The maximum range of the effect 
was 10 cm in both cases. Similarly to 
SCP-2184, the samples did not appear on the 
photographs taken of them. Further analysis of 
the samples was prevented by their 
anomalous effect. 

14:45 The samples lost their anomalous 
properties. 


The samples were sent to Biological Research 
Area-12 for further analysis. They were 
determined to be indistinguishable from non- 
anomalous M. trogontherii samples. 


Incident Report on Containment Breach-2184-1: 


On // SCP-2184 left Site-146 due to unknown 
reasons. Field Agents attempted to stop its advance by 
starting a forest fire in front of it, planning on forcing it to 
turn back. However, the fire stopped when SCP-2184 
approached it, allowing SCP-2184 to continue its 


movement. Later investigations concluded that the fire 
died out in SCP-2184's proximity because it was lit with 
modern technology: a match. 


Following this, Field Agents ambushed SCP-2184. They 
wore clothing and were equipped with spears 
manufactured with primitive technology. SCP-2184 
suffered only minor injuries and continued moving. 


SCP-2184's path passed through the village of 
(population: __), located 55 km to the south of Site-146. 
The Foundation managed to evacuate 95% of the 
inhabitants before SCP-2184 arrived. All buildings and 
utilities were destroyed in the village during the incident. 
Amnestics were administered to the survivors, and a 
cover story about an earthquake was issued. 


13 hours after it left the village, SCP-2184 unexpectedly 
stopped, stood still for 5 minutes then returned to 
Site-146 following its original path. The portion of 
Site-146's fence that was destroyed during the incident 
was replaced during the next week. 


Addendum-2184-1: Following Containment Breach-2184-1, 
weaponry and clothing for 100 personnel was prepared using 
primitive technology to ensure resistance to SCP-2184's effect. The 
items are stored at the Observation Posts built around Site-146. The 
termination of SCP-2184 with these tools is permitted in case it 
poses a major threat to the civilian population during a possible 
future containment breach. 


Addendum-2184-2: On // anattempt was made to 
permanently restrict SCP-2184's movement without causing major 
injuries to it in order to prevent future containment breaches and to 
permit easier experimentation with it. Using explosives, a 10 m deep 
pit was prepared inside Site-146, designed to allow for the safe 
capture of SCP-2184. Agents equipped with spears and torches (lit 
using flint and iron pyrite) drove SCP-2184 to the pit. When 
SCP-2184 reached the pit, the pit malfunctioned and allowed 
SCP-2184 walk through it without falling. During this incident 
SCP-2184 appeared to continue its movement above the hole by 


in Dr. Mize's top desk drawer. The drawer is opened via numeric 
keyboard, the password to which is [REDACTED]. 


Dr. Mize has requested that future tests regarding electronics 
attempt to focus, at least partially, on the implications of this high 
conductivity. Some form of electricity producing turbine or power 
plant could potentially increase energy production a thousandfold. 


Addendum-248-03: 


Testing of SCP-248 on organic matter. A sticker from SCP-248 was 
placed on the forearm of a Class D who volunteered to work with 
this unknown SCP rather than being transferred to Site-19 for Keter 
duty. Initial reaction to the sticker yielded no results. Subject 
received none of the additional enhancements as seen in previous 
tests. After 60 minutes of exposure the subject was still unchanged. 
Retrieval of the sticker was ordered to test the item's adhesive 
properties. Agent had difficulty removing the sticker, while the 
subject was claiming to experience extreme pain during the 
attempted retrieval. After a small talk with Dr. Mize, Agent 

removed the sticker with much of the subject's skin still stuck to it. 
Microscopic examination revealed that the resin had bonded to the 
subject's flesh in the same way Navy grade tape bonds to the sides 
of submarines to withstand tremendous pressures. Chemical testing 
of the resin itself shows that it is consistent with average, mass- 
produced resin used in everyday Scotch tape. 


The chunk of skin was labeled SCP-248-3 by Dr. Mize and is now 
held in a vacuum-sealed plastic container. It is stored in the same 
fire-proof safe as SCP-248, in Dr. Mize's office. 


Addendum-248-04: 


Testing of SCP-248 on SCP-248-1; attempted removal of sticker. 
Agent asked to try and remove the sticker with his fingers. After 
a few moments of failed attempts at scratching it off, Agent is 
given tools to use: tweezers, a pair of pliers, a pocketknife, a chisel, 
and a hunting knife had no effect on the sticker itself. This test, 
along with test 248-03, confirm that the adhesive has properties 
beyond our understanding. 


walking in the air. 


The same result is expected even if we avoid explosives and use 
only shovels. Since digging a pit of such size is practically 
impossible without proper tools (especially in such terrain), no 
further attempts are to be made using this method.

SCP-2185: The Aquaform Thaumaturgic Union 


Item #: SCP-2185 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Efforts to contain SCP-2185 
are ongoing. Foundation negotiation experts have met with 
individuals believed to be ringleaders in the operation of SCP-2185 
in order to reach a compromise that would result in the cessation of 
its violent anomalous actions. More active and aggressive 
containment efforts have been deemed an unnecessary risk at this 
point in time, as these might result in a great widening of SCP-2185 
activity, currently relatively isolated. Persons of Interest affected by 
the actions of SCP-2185 are to be dealt with on an individual case 
basis as decreed by the Foundation Diplomatic Committee. 
Unrelated individuals affected by SCP-2185 are to be dealt with in 
accordance to standard DaC (Denial and Compensation) procedure 
and the phenomena explained to be the result of unusual flash 
floods. The Foundation's possession of anomalous creatures similar 
in composition to members of SCP-2185 is not to come to their 
attention. 


Description: SCP-2185 is a collective of water-based semi- 
humanoid entities (describing themselves as "aquaform 
thaumaturgic case servitors", additional description of individual 
members below) who, starting in / / , began attacking the homes 
and properties of several individuals suspected by the Foundation to 
have participated in the proliferation of anomalous activity. Members 
of SCP-2185 claim to have work relations with said individuals, and 
also claim to have been mistreated by them on a regular basis 
(something they refer to as "a breach of basic summoning 
etiquette"). 


As a result of said grievance, the entities claim to have decided to 
band together and form SCP-2185 as a method of forcing 
"summoners" to acquiesce to their demands of fair treatment, or 


face consequences. Negotiation between SCP-2185 and the 
aforementioned individuals has evidently gone awry, resulting in 
members of SCP-2185 causing minor-to-moderate flooding on the 
property of offending "summoners'", typically by causing unnatural 
surges in local piping or overflowing reservoirs using what are 
believed to be innate water manipulation abilities. Said abilities are 
likely the reason the entities comprising SCP-2185 originally began 
to be employed by the aforementioned individuals. Damage to 
unrelated populace as result of SCP-2185 activity has been minimal 
so far and is believed to be an unintended side-effect. 


As a result of these attacks, several of the aforementioned 
individuals (hence Persons of Interest) have sought mediation 
between themselves and SCP-2185. In order to minimize 
anomalous interruptions to public order, the Foundation, having 
some prior experience with similar creatures (see SCP- , SCP- 
and SCP-054) has agreed to act as mediator between the Pols and 
SCP-2185, who agreed to meet with Foundation negotiators on 
neutral grounds. 


Addendum: On / /2015, Agents Lefet and Ramasubramanian met 
with a delegation from SCP-2185 on neutral ground, to discuss 
terms of truce between SCP-2185 and one of its targets, POI-56782 


The delegation from SCP-2185 consisted as follows: 


SCP-2185-A — Cold salt water. Waves ripple across its surface 
regardless of wind conditions. Primary spokesman. 


SCP-2185-B — Cold fresh water. Contains an imitation skeleton 
made up of common freshwater plants. 


SCP-2185-C — Warm salt water. Clear, contains schools of tropical 
fish. 


SCP-2185-D - Waste water — contains large amounts of mud, 
human feces, and several animal carcasses. 


<Begin Log> 


Agent L: Thank you for agreeing to meet with us about 


this. 


SCP-2185-A: You seem capable of helping us reach a 
satisfactory conclusion, gentlemen. 


Agent L: Right. So, if you could give me an overview of 
your organization’s grievances with Mr. Horowitz, we can 
get started. 


SCP-2185-A: You are in contact with him, correct? 


Agent L: Yes, we are. We will do as much as we can to 
keep communications open between your respective 
parties. 


SCP-2185-C: Has he said anything to you yet? 


Agent L: No, he has stated that he wishes to wait and 
respond to your statements himself. 


SCP-2185-D: Pussy. 


SCP-2185-B: Are you surprised? You shouldn't be 
surprised. 


SCP-2185-C: He always lawyers up and clams down. 
Agent L: If we can, ah... 


SCP-2185-A: We're looking for fulfillment of our contract. 
Horowitz has blatantly misused us and those we 
represent. 


Agent L: Can you give examples? 


SCP-2185-A: Binding beyond standard terms, unsafe 
work conditions... 


SCP-2185-C: ...lack of overtime pay, late wages... 


SCP-2185-B: Double shifts large enough that they 
severely cut into our home life. 


SCP-2185-C: | haven’t seen my wife in weeks. 


SCP-2185-A: And assorted other violations of protocol 
and contract as detailed in this document. [SCP-2185-C 
places large engraved rock on table.] As you can see, 
violations began in... 


Agent R: [to Agent L] Sounds like our bosses. 
Agent L: [to Agent R] Don’t need to tell me twice. 
Agent R: [to Agent L]: You gonna cut that? 
Agent L: [to Agent R]: Nope. 


SCP-2185-A: ...which in turn led to a pseudo-spawning 
for the local hellsalmon — Is something the matter? 


Agent L: No, nothing. 


SCP-2185-A: Ah. Well, that is the nature of our 
complaints in brief, | will let my associate here bring forth 
our requests. 


SCP-2185-B: Yes, yes, requests. We request- 
SCP-2185-C: Demand. 


SCP-2185-B: Yes, yes, demand. We demand that the 
aforementioned Mr. Horowitz- 


SCP-2185-C: Rotten bastard that he is. 


SCP-2185-B: Yes, yes, we demand that Mr. Horowitz, 
rotten bastard that he is, immediately cease all 
summoning and binding of aquaform thaumaturgic case 
servitors from the aforementioned union, as well as all 
nixies, nymphs and merfolk connected to the 
organization. We likewise demand the payment in full of 
all withheld wages accrued over the last nine months, 
with additional restitution for legal and health expenses, 
as detailed in our official complaint. Fai- 


SCP-2185-D: We also want coffee breaks. 
Agent L: Coffee breaks? 


SCP-2185-B: Coffee? Jesus, man, that's disgusting! 


SCP-2185-C: You have a family, you deviant! 


SCP-2185-D: Hey, what | do with my spare time ain't 
your business! 


SCP-2185-B: We'll talk about this later! Anm. | apologize 
for that, gentlemen. Anyway, failure to deliver restitution 
within the allotted period of ten days will be considered 
default of contract, and subject to standard reprisals. 


Agent L: Being? 
SCP-2185-C: Flood his house. 


Agent L: Ah, yes. If | might ask, this seems to happen a 
lot — we have accounts of at least eight other such 
defaults. 


SCP-2185-C: People don’t know how to properly handle 
folk like us any more. It’s always some Invisible Hand of 
the Market or some dinky earth-mother figures. Never 
anything proper. It's why we unionized. 


SCP-2185-D: | like the part where we flood the house. 
Can we flood the house soon? 


SCP-2185-A: We'll see, we'll see. [as an aside to Agent 
L and Agent R] He’s a bit slow on the uptake, I’m afraid. 
Had to let him in cause his father is rather influential. 


Agent L: | see. Well then, we will pass on your demands 
to Mr. Horowitz and will contact you when we have a 
response. 


SCP-2185-A: We await. 


[There is a sound similar to water flowing through a drain 
as the SCP-2185 specimens soak into the floor and 
vanish.] 


Agent R: Wizards, man. 


Agent L: Say, what do you think these things do with 
coffee? 


Agent R: Man, | don't wanna fucking know.

SCP-2186: Chameleonscaper 


Item #: SCP-2186 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2186 is to be kept in a 0.9 
x 0.3 x 0.3 m screened enclosure suitable for non-anomalous 
specimens of Chamaeleo namaquensis. Specific procedures for 
habitat care and maintenance are detailed in Document 2186-A. 


Interaction with SCP-2186 is to be kept at a minimum, in order to 
prevent unnecessary stress that might trigger SCP-2186's 
anomalous properties. Feeding, habitat maintenance, and medical 
examinations are the only times at which interaction is permissible. 
SCP-2186 is not to be removed from containment except in cases of 
medical emergency. 


Description: SCP-2186 is an adult female Namaqua chameleon 
(Chamaeleo namaquensis). Physically, it differs from non- 
anomalous representatives of its species only by its lack of 
chromatophores, rendering it unable to change its color in response 
to external stimuli. 


SCP-2186's anomalous properties become apparent when 
SCP-2186 is threatened, provoked, or otherwise made 
uncomfortable. All surfaces and objects within a 50-meter radius of 
SCP-2186 begin to gradually take on the color and texture of 
SCP-2186's skin. After approximately 2 minutes of exposure, the 
exterior surfaces of affected objects become identical to SCP-2186's 
skin (a state henceforth referred to as "stage 1 transformation"). If 
SCP-2186's agitation is maintained, the interiors of affected objects 
begin to gradually transform into biological matter identical to that of 
SCP-2186. Full transformation (a state henceforth referred to as 
"stage 2 transformation") occurs after approximately 5 minutes. 
Stage 1 transformation gradually reverses if SCP-2186 returns to a 
calm state or is removed from the vicinity of affected objects, but 


stage 2 transformation is seemingly permanent. See Test Log for 
further details. 


Discovery: SCP-2186 was recovered from the home of a Mr. E 
S_. The SCP Foundation was notified to SCP-2186's presence by 
Mr.S himself, who had made several panicked calls to local and 
national law enforcement agencies detailing SCP-2186's anomalous 
behavior. Foundation field agents who entered Mr. S _ 's property 
observed that a large area of the house had undergone stage 2 
transformation. SCP-2186 itself was located in its vivarium, 
exhibiting clear signs of vitamin deficiency, malnutrition, and stress. 
SCP-2186 was seized by the Foundation, and all affected objects 
were removed from the site and cataloged. 


Based on observation of SCP-2186's living area at its discovery site, 
as well as testimony given by Mr.S_ _—_ during questioning, SCP-2186 
had been allowed to develop a state of extreme agitation due to its 
inadequately maintained environment, poor diet, and general state 
of neglect. However, Mr.S claimed to have followed an online 
guide to Chamaeleo namaquensis care to the best of his ability, and 
denied that SCP-2186 was in ill health upon its containment by the 
Foundation. He also claimed to have ordered SCP-2186 from a well- 
known and respectable online pet retailer specializing in exotic 
reptiles. 


Mr.S _ was retained for observation and study. SCP-2186 
underwent medical examination upon containment, and is currently 
in good health. Investigation into the online pet retailer used by Mr. 
S __ have thus far unearthed nothing of note, and the guide the 
subject claims to have used has not yet been found. 


+ Test/Study Log 


Test Log: Effects of SCP-2186-induced 
Transformation 
Conductor: Dr. Vicks 


Test Object: NBA regulation basketball 
Stage of Transformation: 1 

Effects: The ball's surface took on the color 
and texture of SCP-2186's skin. Analysis 


revealed that the molecular structure of the 
ball had not changed. The effects reverted 
after approximately 15 minutes. 


Test Object: Cavendish banana 

Stage of Transformation: 1 

Effects: Identical to previous test; however, 
peeling the banana revealed a non-anomalous 
interior. The effects reverted after 
approximately 15 minutes. 

Note: Now we know that organic and inorganic 
matter is affected in the same way. I'm hoping 
to keep these tests to a minimum; | don't relish 
frightening this animal unnecessarily. 


Test Object: Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus) 
Stage of Transformation: 1 

Effects: The specimen experienced complete 
and rapid hair loss as its skin took on the color 
and texture of SCP-2186's. After the effects 
reverted, the specimen's hair did not grow 
back. 

Note: Living creatures seem to be affected 
less predictably. 


Test Object: Norway rat; different soecimen 
than previous 

Stage of Transformation: 2 

Effects: The specimen's skin took on the color 
and texture of SCP-2186's. In addition, its tail 
shrank and coiled into a shape reminiscent of 
a chameleon's, and its eyes increased in size 
and developed the ability to move 
independently. DNA analysis revealed that the 
specimen had become genetically divergent 
from R. norvegicus, but no exact genetic 
match could be determined. 

Note: Prolonged exposure to the effects of 
SCP-2186 seems to make living creatures 
more chameleon-like. | don't believe that this is 


After failing to remove the sticker, a second sticker was added near 
the first to test if SCP-248 has "stack-able" abilities. The first soeed 
trial observed SCP-248-1 reaching 84 km/h, which is indeed 220%. 
However, after a 15-minute period, the tractor showed advanced 
signs of oxidation wear. After a total of 36 minutes of use with both 
stickers, SCP-248-1 had almost completely turned to rust and lost all 
form. At this point the stickers fell free from the pile of rust and were 
gathered by Dr. Mize for testing. 


Results show that the resin had formed a chemical bond, as with the 
biological matter, and only broke that bond after the original 
composition of the matter it was attached to had changed. It should 
be noted that there is no longer resin on the stickers and they no 
longer stick to surfaces. SCP-248-1 neutralized. 


-If this item was mass-produced, like it is assumed that other 
"Factory" SCPs were, we could have potentially struck gold! If a 
power grid can be made to function without the degenerative effects 
of SCP-248, free-flowing power could be possible at room 
temperature! | will personally begin researching "The Factory" and 
its whereabouts as soon as High Command approves.

an intentional method of reproduction on 
SCP-2186's part, as it only occurs when 2186 
feels threatened. 


Test Object: Non-anomalous male Jackson's 
chameleon (Trioceros jacksonil) 

Stage of Transformation: 2 

Effect: No physical change was observed in 
the specimen; however, DNA analysis 
revealed that it had become genetically 
identical to SCP-2186. 

Note: You can't get much more chameleon- 
like than a chameleon, it seems. 
Addendum: Following its encounter with 
SCP-2186, the specimen of T. jacksonii 
involved in testing lost the ability to reproduce 
with female individuals of its own species. 
Attempts to breed the specimen with female 
individuals of C. namaquensis resulted in the 
production of eggs, which hatched into non- 
anomalous specimens of C. namaquensis, 
none of which were genetically identical to 
SCP-2186. Dr. Vicks maintains that 
SCP-2186's transfiguring effects are not an 
intentional method of reproduction. 


Test Object: Cell phone 

Stage of Transformation: 2 

Effects: The cell phone's internal circuitry had 
been replaced with a partial nervous system, 
thread through an undifferentiated mass of 
muscle supported by a quadrilateral framework 
of bone struts. The exterior was covered with 
skin identical to SCP-2186's. The skin on the 
cell phone's "front" (the former site of the 
screen) possesses the ability to change color 
in response to external stimuli, such as 
temperature and physical pressure. DNA 
analysis produced a 100% match with 
SCP-2186. 


Note: Technological devices affected by 
SCP-2186 appear to retain some rudimentary 
functionality. Further testing is necessary in 
this area. 


Test Object: 9-millimeter handgun 

Stage of Transformation: 2 

Effects: The trigger and internal firing 
mechanism of the gun became fused into a 
single piece of bone during the transformation 
process, rendering the weapon impossible to 
fire. The exterior was covered with skin 
identical to SCP-2186's. DNA analysis 
produced a 100% match with SCP-2186. 
Note: Weaponry gains no additional 
functionality from SCP-2186's transformative 
effects. In fact, it seems to lose effectiveness. | 
think we've established that SCP-2186 has no 
practical applications, and that it poses no 
significant threat. However, Stage 2 
transformation does seem to have the capacity 
for greater complexity than | first assumed. I'm 
authorizing a more in-depth study of stage 2 
transformation. No more testing involving 
SCP-2186 itself will be needed; we have 
plenty of preexisting samples. 


Study Object: Easy chair, recovered from 
discovery site 

Stage of Transformation: 2 

Effects: The components of the chair were 
replaced with roughly corresponding organic 
components: the cushion stuffing with muscle 
tissue; the internal springs with sinews; the 
frame with bone; etc. The chair was entirely 
covered with skin identical to that of 
SCP-2186. DNA analysis produced a 100% 
match with SCP-2186. 

Addendum: Despite lacking any organs 
required for traditional animal survival, the 


chair did not decay prior to dissection for 
study. When cut, the chair produced blood, but 
showed no traditional symptoms of pain. After 
dissection, decay proceeded as normal. 


Study Object: 20-gallon vivarium, recovered 
from discovery site 

Stage of Transformation: 2 

Effects: The vivarium's glass had been 
replaced with a 0.5-centimeter-thick layer of 
muscle tissue, covered with skin identical to 
SCP-2186's on both the interior and exterior of 
the vivarium. All plant life, substrate, and 
terrain contained within the vivarium has been 
replaced with identical muscle tissue and skin. 
DNA analysis produced a 100% match with 
SCP-2186. 

Addendum: The vivarium and the objects 
contained within it appear to have fused 
together during the transformation process. No 
separation between the vivarium and the 
objects within it could be detected, even upon 
dissection. 


Study Object: Mr.S ___, recovered from 
discovery site 

Stage of Transformation: 2 

Effects (Physical): Mr.S is covered in skin 
matching the color and texture of SCP-2186's, 
and lacks any hair on his head or body. 
Subject's eyes and mouth have increased 
greatly in size, while the nose, ears, and lips 
are almost entirely reduced. On both of Mr. 
S's hands, the thumb, index, and middle 
fingers have fused into large, flipper-like 
structures tipped with singular keratinous nails, 
as have the ring and little fingers; the toes of 
Mr. S's feet are similarly affected. A 
miniature vestigial tail protrudes visibly from 
Mr.S ‘'scoccyx. Mr.S lacks teeth, and has 


lost the ability to digest plant matter. DNA 
analysis revealed that Mr.S___ is genetically 
divergent from Homo sapiens, but no exact 
genetic match can be determined. 

Effects (Psychological): Mr.S__'s emotional 
capacity seems to have been reduced by 
stage 2 transformation. He is capable of 
reacting negatively to upsetting or stressful 
circumstances, but appears to have lost the 
capacity to react positively to pleasant 
circumstances. 

Note: SCP-2186's former owner is an 
interesting case. | wonder if his reduced 
emotional capacity is simply a result of his 
brain becoming more chameleon-like, or a 
defense mechanism put into place by 
SCP-2186 to prevent him from potentially 
inflicting aggression upon it. Until | can justify 
inflicting such a state on additional human 
subjects, that question will have to remain 
unanswered. 

Addendum: Mr. S__ remains in confinement 
for observational purposes. He is currently 
under medical treatment for an upper- 
respiratory infection caused by low levels of 
humidity in his confinement chamber. Mr. 
S's confinement conditions are to be 
updated based on the conditions described in 
Document 2186-A.

SCP-2187: Jugo Nova 


Item #: SCP-2187 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Outpost 2187 has been 
established to form a 1 km secure perimeter around SCP-2187-A, 
under the cover of a private-energy power plant. Research Team 44 
is currently assigned to investigation and reverse engineering of the 
technology inside SCP-2187-A. 


Knowledge of SCP-2187-B is to be suppressed in major 
astronomical organizations. Due to increasing cosmological 
developments rapidly increasing the difficulty of contingency, plans 
to remove SCP-2187-B from orbit (either to be secured on Earth or 
in orbit of another celestial body) are currently under review. The 
broadcasts from SCP-2187-B are currently suppressed by a global 
network of number stations masking the frequency. 


Attempts to reconstruct or activate currently inactive equipment 
related to SCP-2187 requires the authorization of two (2) Level 5 
personnel. 


Description: SCP-2187 refers to a network of anomalous 
technology created mid twentieth century. The different components 
of SCP-2187 are sub-designated by location. 


SCP-2187-A is a two-story building in southern Virginia. SCP-2187- 
A was previously an estate owned by the family abandoned 
sometime before the twentieth century. The building is devoid of 
normal furnishings, and instead contains a variety of technology 
resembling 1950s era equipment. The equipment is powered by 413 
large atomic batteries connected in the basement level. Upon 
discovery, the doors and windows to SCP-2187-A were heavily 
reinforced, and the building was completely filled with 323 naked 
human corpses, all of which had died of blunt trauma or suffocation 


(see Addendum 2187-1 and -2). The area also contained a large 
number of researcher notes and journals regarding SCP-2187. The 
SCP-2187-A designation is not inherently abnormal, but has been 
created for the anomalous technology found inside of it. 


SCP-2187-A-1 is a large computer connected to six (6) complex 
neural scanners, taking up the majority of SCP-2187-A's interior. 
Each scanner is a hollow acrylic hemisphere lined with a complex 
array of metal instruments. The scanners automatically trigger when 
above a human, and are able to transfer highly-detailed neural 
patterns from human brains inside it into a data format usable by the 
computer. The computational portion of SCP-2187-A-1 is mostly 
made of vacuum tubes and rudimentary transistors, and in design 
resembles an extremely complex calculator. Upon scanning a 
human subject, SCP-2187-A-1 will preform an unknown series of 
operations completed in approximately four (4) seconds, and emit a 
paper ticket. Large gold-paint lettering on the side of SCP-2187-A-1 
reads "[étTp". 


SCP-2187-A-2 are twelve elevators connected to the side of 
SCP-2187-A. Each SCP-2187-A-2 appears as a normal brand 
elevator produced in 19 , save for a small unlabeled slot in place of 
the button panel. SCP-2187-A-2 is only operational when it contains 
exactly one human. SCP-2187-A-2 activates when a ticket emitted 
from SCP-2187-A-1 is inserted into its slot. At this point, SCP-2187- 
A-2 will begin to ascend or descend (determined by uncertain 
criteria; see Addendum 2187-3) until it reaches the level above or 
below. At this point, the occupant of SCP-2187-A-2 will disappear. 
Upon ascending, SCP-2187-A-2 emits a high energy 
electromagnetic pulse directly upwards, received by equipment on 
SCP-2187-B. Analysis of the pulse has revealed the data it carries is 
highly correlated with the subject's neural gamma wave. 


SCP-2187-B is an artificial satellite in orbit of Earth 540,000 km 
above SCP-2187-A. SCP-2187-B is geostationary, meaning it 
retains a constant position relative to the Earth's surface, despite 
that is much farther from the Earth than would allow so. SCP-2187-B 
emits massive amounts of gamma radiation, at levels for which 
currently there exists no feasible equipment to shield personnel from 
a lethal dosage at ranges closer than 400 meters.! SCP-2187-B is 


cylindrical in shape, measuring exactly 1 km in diameter and 
approximately 3.6 km long, and rotating at a speed to simulate 
artificial gravity. The structure of SCP-2187-B appears to be 
modularized into different sections, each one an identically sized 
wheel connected to an elongated axle. Large lettering along the 
circumference of the uppermost section reads "Jugo Plej Bona."2 
The sections below appear to be increasing states of disrepair or 
incomplete construction, including structural damage and missing 
portions of hull. SCP-2187-B transmits periodical wireless televisual 
broadcasts at intervals of six hours; see Addendum 2187-5. 


It is unknown what becomes of subjects inside SCP-2187-A-2 when 
it descends. There is currently no evidence suggest anything occurs 
other than their ceasing to exist. 


Addendum 2187-1: SCP-2187-A was discovered on 20 , after 
several phases of investigation of the post "Building Filled with 
People" on .com. The building was found sealed, although 
human limbs were visible through the windows. After the door was 
cut open, human remains were forcibly ejected, wounding Agents 
and . Total excavation of the human remains took three weeks. 


Subsequent investigation was able to link many of the dead bodies 
to an extranormal event that occurred over twenty years prior (see 
Addendum 2187-2 for the original documentation). It is currently 
theorized that equipment inside SCP-2187-A was able to teleport 
humans inside upon their death, and that SCP-2187-A was 
somehow activated, summoning hundreds of people over the course 
of three minutes. Although the building could accommodate a 
maximum of a person a second (much faster than necessary at the 
time of its design), the higher death rate coupled with the confusion 
of arrivals lead to a build up, as no one was able to escape through 
the building's reinforced exits. After 323 bodies had filled the 
building, the pressure caused damage to the equipment, 
deactivating it. 


Addendum 2187-2: Documentation for original extranormal event. 


Event Description: Every person who dies from 05:36 
to 05:39 UTC spontaneously disappears. 
Disappearances are global but non-simultaneous over 


the time period. 169 disappearances confirmed; over 300 
hypothesized. 

Date of Occurrence: / /19 

Location: Various locations on Earth. 

Follow-up Actions Taken: Media manipulated to 
make sure connection is not drawn between various 
disappearances; public disappearances covered up 
through amnesiacs. 


Addendum 2187-3: Testing on the criteria of ascension or 
descension of SCP-2187-A-2 has been inconclusive. It has been 
confirmed that it is dependent on the ticket inserted and the psyche 
of the person who received it, regardless of who inserts the ticket or 
is present in the elevator. The criteria appears to particularly regard 
the subject's memories and psychological disposition. Ascension is 
rare; over 70% of D-Class and 75% of Foundation personnel have 
caused SCP-2187-A-2 to descend. D-Class whose scans have 
caused SCP-2187-A-2 to ascend generally express deep regret or 
religious repentance over past immoral actions, but are in a sound 
state of mind.

Overview: This is an incomplete log of information discovered in 
SCP-2187-A. Discovered information artifacts are so far of two 
types: hand-written or typed notes or journals, and narrated videos 
continuously looping on mounted displays. 


Mounted Videos 


Numerous displays are mounted around SCP-2187-A that loop 
continuously while powered. Videos recovered feature a narrator 
speaking directly to the camera in front of a brick backdrop. Narrator 
is a black-haired Caucasian approximately 40 years old, speaking 
with a slight Russian accent. Each phrase is spoken in Esperanto, 
Russian, and English in sequence; for the sake of brevity, only the 
English phrases have been included.

SCP-249: The Random Door 


Item #: SCP-249 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedure: SCP-249 is affixed to a wall 
within Site- . Access to SCP-249 is unrestricted, though an accurate 
log of destinations must be kept and submitted to a Level-4 
supervisor every four (4) weeks. No SCPs of any class may be 
brought or kept within one thousand (1000) meters of SCP-249 
without Level-4 approval. 


Description: SCP-249 appears to be a windowless door, covered in 
a faded white paint. It was first found in a house located within the 
small town of . When opened, SCP-249 does not lead to the 
other side of the doorway, but to a random door within eight hundred 
and fifty (850) meters. Items that go through SCP-249 are teleported 
to that other door, regardless of what may be between the door and 
SCP-249. When observed from the destination, the exit door 
appears to open on its own accord, and whatever goes through 
SCP-249 appears out of thin air. When opened, SCP-249 takes on 
the appearance of the door it is connected to. When shut, SCP-249 
is no longer connected to that door, and reverts to its standard 
appearance. 


However, roughly every five hundred (500) uses, SCP-249 does not 
connect to a door within its range, but instead to a random location 
anywhere in the world, even locations with no apparent doors within 
hundreds of kilometers. When the 500-use mark approaches, 
common use of SCP-249 is stopped and tests are done to record its 
exit location. Since its discovery, a log has been kept documenting 
these cases (See Addendum 249-001).

SCP-2188: Life and Times of Joaquin Pablo Izquierdo 
de San Felipe 


Item #: SCP-2188 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Anomalous activity related to 
SCP-2188 has ceased as of 29 July 1998. In accordance with safety 
procedures, SCP-2188 maintains an active Euclid classification until 
the cautionary minimal observation period expires in 2023. In the 
unlikely event of a resumption of SCP-2188 activity, personnel are 
instructed to notify the director of Site-41, as well as the Sector G 
Transreality Artwork Research Collective (S-TARC), immediately. 


While local assets have not been deemed necessary for 
containment of SCP-2188 at this time, Agent Roberto Esquivel is 
currently stationed in Dotson, Nebraska, United States as part of a 
special post-retirement assignment and is available on an as- 
needed basis. 


Description: SCP-2188 was an anomalous relationship between an 
individual in Uruguay and the residents of a town in the United 
States. This relationship comprised the following: 


Joaquin Pablo Izquierdo de San Felipe, a semi-transient person 
residing primarily in Montevideo, Uruguay during his lifetime. Mr. 
Izquierdo is believed to have been born in 1943, in an unnamed 
village in the Department of Treinta y Tres, Uruguay. No reliable 
documentation exists of Mr. Izquierdo prior to 1961, when Uruguyan 
authorities issued him a work permit. 


Mr. Izquierdo came to the attention of Foundation assets based in 
the Buenos Aires Regional Office in 1965, when he was arrested by 
Uruguay's Interior Police for attempting to smuggle live specimens 
of the Paraguaian hairy dwarf porcupine into Argentina. This 
coincided with a file report of an individual in the United States 


region of Nebraska conducting what was termed a "performance art" 
demonstration of an extended tango dance routine while his partner 
pierced him thirty-three times with porcupine quills. 


Several attempts at containment were made once researchers 
understood the causal effects Mr. Izquierdo's actions had on 
residents of the town of Dotson, Nebraska, United States. 
Observation and several experiments determined that allowing Mr. 
Izquierdo to live a relatively normal life while being protected from 
severe harm (sometimes logically expected from his actions) was 
the most likely course of action to minimize potentially harmful 
actions among residents of Dotson and prevent widespread public 
knowledge of SCP-2188. Agent Roberto Esquivel was accordingly 
assigned as a clandestine overseer for Mr. Izquierdo in 1967. 


Over the next several decades, Mr. Izquierdo lived itinerantly 
throughout the various barrios of Montevideo, becoming known to 
local residents as a benevolent vagrant (as well as a noted 
eccentric), most likely to be involved with the city's more 
impoverished residents, orphaned children, and street artists. 
Between the efforts of Agent Esquivel and Mr. Izquierdo's support in 
the community, containment was preserved until Mr. Izquierdo's 
death in 1998, with minimal negative impacts to the town of Dotson. 


The town of Dotson, Nebraska, United States, a rural farming 
community of 5,137 residents!. From no later than 1965 to 1998, 
significant events occurring in the life of Joaquin Pablo Izquierdo de 
San Felipe would affect the mental state of the town's residents. 
This relationship appears to have ceased with the death of Mr. 
Izquierdo in 1998. 


The effects of Mr. Izquierdo's actions on residents of Dotson 
primarily took the form of impulses towards artistic or creative 
endeavors, though in some cases the extreme nature of several 
artworks could be classed as a form of temporary mental illness@. As 
a sum result of Mr. Izquierdo's anomalous influence, the town of 
Dotson was host to a sophisticated artistic subculture, one that in 
the findings of S-TARC "greatly exceeds baseline levels of creative 
development found in comparable population centers and cultural 
regions®". This subculture has become inculcated in the social 
conventions of the town, and continues to develop subsequent to 


the death of Mr. Izquierdo, albeit in a manner consistent with 
anthropological norms documented in mainstream science. 


SCP-2188 appears to have affected between 15-25% of the 
population of Dotson. Preliminary reports indicated a much higher 
affected population; however, S-TARC studies in the 1970s 
determined that residents’ higher-than-expected receptiveness to 
artistic works (including those of a radical nature) was a natural 
result of exposure to the elevated level of creative activity in the 
town. Despite the noteworthiness achieved by Dotson in local and 
national media due to Mr. Izquierdo's anomalous influence, the 
discovery of the true nature of SCP-2188 was deemed to be a 
minimal security risk. As such, no containment procedures were 
deemed necessary in Dotson. 


In accordance with Directive 2188-03.17, Mr. Izquierdo is interred in 
Misty Veil Cemetery, located 2 km outside of Dotson town limits. 


Addendum 2188.1 - Reports from Agent Roberto Esquivel 


Researcher's Note: Between 1967 and 1998, Agent Roberto 
Esquivel served in Montevideo, Uruguay as the primary source of 
containment for SCP-2188. Agent Esquivel filed a series of reports 
during that time. A representative sample of these reports are 
reproduced here for the purposes of this file. Refer to Appendix A for 
the unabridged record of Agent Esquivel's reports. 


===SYSTEM NOTICE=== PERSONNEL PREFERENCES REFERENCED AND LOGGED. 
TRANSLATING PRIMARY DOCUMENTATION FROM SPANISH to ENGLISH 


Field Report 2188.1 - Introductions 
Date: 17 April 1967 


Summary: Agent Esquivel, per the terms of containment set by the 
Research Director, establishes a relationship with Joaquin Pablo 
Izquierdo de San Felipe. This is intended to facilitate future contacts, 
build trust with the subject, and enable efforts to protect the subject 
from undue harm and therefore ensure relative normalcy for the 
residents of Dotson. 


Result: Successful action

Agent Comments: After poring over the dossier for 
weeks, | finally met Mr. Izquierdo face-to-face at Chito's, 
a scummy little bar in Malvin Norte where the students 
like to hang out and the bums drink whenever they can 
scrounge up a few pesos. | resolved to gain Mr. 
Izquierdo's favor in the traditional way. 


"A beer for my friend here," | called to the barman as | 
sat next to the subject. Mr. Izquierdo had none of it. 


"Ah, a generous accountant, you are" he said to me. My 
suit was a poor choice, in retrospect. "No, | shall buy you 
a drink, because this isn't a beer night." He motioned to 
the barman, who brought us a large mate with two 
straws. To my surprise, in a place like this, they were 
silver. 


The subject handed me a straw. "To introductions, my 
new friend." We both sipped the brewed leaves and | felt 
the caffeine rush wonderfully to my head. | admit, | love 
mate, and | didn't question the odd choice for evening 
drinks. 


"You look like a thinker! | like thinkers, they row the other 
side of my rowboat!" he said as we drank together. 
"Night is a good time for thinking!" 


We made small talk for the rest of the evening. | had 
expected to work harder at it, given the dossier, but we 
had much in common, he and I. The mate, dead fathers, 
a distaste for Borges and a great taste for panchos 
(Uruguayan hot dogs -Ed.). It was enjoyable. 


We resolved to meet again for mate the next week. 
Containment is off to a good start.

an errand in the barrio of La Figurita. 


Result: Minor injuries to Agent Esquivel, two civilians subdued with 
non-lethal weaponry. 


+ Access Additional Documentation 


Agent Comments: At 11 o'clock, | saw Mr. Izquierdo 
appear at the park bench. | have noticed that for a 
person of the streets, he is strangely punctual. 


The subject had requested my aid to help organize a 
gathering of the local poets in La Figurita. | remarked to 
him at our last meeting that the poets of La Figurita 
weren't very good, and that most of their writings 
centered around being taken to the hospital after drinking 
too much. He laughed at that, but was undeterred in his 
mission. 


He explained that all | need do was accompany him for a 
few hours. "| need a man with violence in him" he 
explained as he looked me over. He is not wrong, but | 
was dismayed at his reading of me. 


We walked to a shabby part of the neighborhood with no 
streetlights. This was well, because the brightly colored 
paint on the splintered facades of the rowhouses were 
illumination enough. At a lime green doorway, we 
stopped. Mr. Izquierdo knocked, a strange, rata-tat-tat- 


rata-tat knock that must have been code of some sort. 
The door parted a crack, and a face with a roadmap of 
lines, but not a single gray hair, appeared from the 
darkness. What did we want, he asked. 


Mr. Izquierdo answered immediately. "We need to use 
this house tonight. Poetry recital." 


"Impossible" the man said, "this is a place of commerce." 


"Get a load of this guy," Mr. Izquierdo said to me as he 
laughed, "a real businessman. How does fifteen guys at 
a ten peso cover sound for your business?" 


The face disappeared momentarily. Some hushed 
conversation in the darkness took place before it 
reappeared in the doorway. 


"We agree to your terms." The door opened. 


We stepped inside of a predictable hovel, the floor 
littered with bottles and needles. A few junkies were 
passed out along the walls of the front room. The first 
poets arrived soon after, and the night must be described 
as a success, for it was at least twenty people crammed 
in there when all was accounted for. Mr. Izquierdo called 
for silence, and beckoned the first reader to step to the 
middle of the room. He proceeded to read some odious 
doggerel, and | envied the unconscious bum laying next 
to me. 


On and on it dragged. | had heard of time anomalies in 
my work, and wondered at my fate here. Then, Mr. 
Izquierdo pointed to the man who had been at the door 
when we arrived. "Lalo! It's your turn!" 


Our doorkeeper stepped into the middle of the crowd, 
hesitantly, which struck me as funny since he was the 
most fearsome-looking man in the room. He pulled a 
piece of folded paper out of his filthy denim jacket, and | 
readied myself for the resumption of the dreary

onslaught. 


What sticks in my mind most was his soft voice as he 
began his reading. He with the face that belonged ina 
prison yard, but | had to struggle to hear him as he read 
his piece. His story unfolded in short, clipped sentences 
as the room grew ever more quiet. He had been to 
America, from the nothingness of his native farmlands to 
the nothingness of foreign farmlands. The work was 
backbreaking as ever, the poverty covering everything 
like a layer of old dust just like back home. But now there 
was loneliness, like he could have never imagined. In 
time he met a friend, though. A Chilean, he said with a 
smirk that shocked me when it came. With someone to 
talk to, the work was not so bad, and at least he could 
drink and laugh and fight with someone when it was 
done. Then the Chilean was caught in a grain silo, 
drowning in the plentiful bounty of an American corn 
field. | don't know what | expected next, but it was not for 
this Lalo to begin howling like a wolf, which he did. It 
should have been ridiculous, but the fury and the pain in 
this man's voice, the mourning for his friend buried in a 
foreign land, it demanded acceptance. When Lalo 
finished, the entire room was completely silent. 


Then the police came. 


Our experiences with law enforcement being what they 
are, and the safety of Mr. Izquierdo being my charge, | 
elected to begin swinging the small club concealed in my 
coat before asking questions as the cops raided the 
place. In these affairs, the police always find their man, 
their man being whoever happened to be around in a 
den of narcotics. | fought my way out as the poets 
scattered, Mr. Izquierdo by my side. Someone landed a 
decent punch to my ribs and | came out with a cut to my 
forehead, the identities of my attackers forever lost to the 
churning scene of drugs, poetry and loss we had left 
behind. 


In the safety of a nearby alley, Mr. Izquierdo was 


doubled over with laughter, wiping tears from his eyes at 
the apparent hilarity of the scene that he had caused. 


"Violence in an accountant, and art in a drug pusher!" he 
wheezed. "The poetry of La Figurita shall improve after 
tonight, | tell you!"

Agent Comments: Is Pablo a religious man? | still 
cannot tell, though he gets into enough trouble to be 
classified as a saint some day. 


| drove into Conciliacién, where Pablo had found his 
most recent rooftop dwelling, and found him waiting in 
front of the library. He jumped into the old dented-up 
Site-issue pickup truck, carrying a heroically-sized jug of 
Medio y Medio, and we sped away. And if in the course 
of leaving Montevideo we banged into a few road signs 
as we wrestled with the jug of wine, what the hell. A few 
more dents. 


Pablo drank more than his half of the Medio y Medio of 
course, and told me all about the CIA contacts he had 
talked up before this pilgrimage. It is my business, of 
course, to know who is CIA, who is KGB, who is 
whatever in Montevideo, so | knew Pablo was full of shit, 
but in the spirit of the Blessed Virgin | let him have his 
fun. We stopped at what felt like every village along the 
way out to the country, where Pablo jumped out and 
reinforced our wine supplies, while urging everyone to 
come along on the pilgrimage. He must have been 
spending quite some time doing this before we left even, 
because the road became more and more crowded the 
closer we came to the Cathedral. 


| knew that Pablo had arranged some sort of exhibition in 
Florida, and | still do not know how he managed to 
convince the Diocese to let that go on. Perhaps that is an 
SCP in itself. When we arrived, the plaza in front of the 
Cathedral was choked with people. They had arrived in 
the tens of thousands, more than anyone could 
remember. 


The vendors who sell food and drink at the pilgrimage 
every year were ecstatic at first at the multitudes. Then 


Pablo emerged from our truck with a bullhorn (where the 
hell did he get a bullhorn?) and started blaring at the 
crowd as we drove on. "Do not purchase anything from 
these thieves! Maintain your holy fast, and manna shall 
rain down from the heavens this night!" he yelled, over 
and over. Though | had never expected a crowd of angry 
food sellers to be the ones to end Pablo, this situation 
was looking increasingly likely. | knew better by now than 
to be surprised. 


"What the hell are you doing?" | asked him, though really 
| was asking myself, driving this truck along with a 
loudspeakered maniac who was going to get us stoned 
to death with hardened bread rolls. Instead of answering, 
he instead directed me to a large clearing behind the 
cathedral. We parked nearby, and were greeted with 
more reinforcements of wine by a group of sculptors | 
had met previously with Pablo when we were walking 
through Bafhados de Carrasco one night. As we drank 
and talked (uninterrupted, we had apparently lost the 
angry food-sellers), they presented to us their handiwork: 
three large, vaguely human-looking sculptures they 
called "The Father, The Son, and The Holy Smoke," 
each at least ten meters tall and made entirely of dry 
wood and straw. Fire, of course, would be involved. 


That night, the time came to light each sculpture and 
start the towering bonfires. Pablo had invited everyone 
present to come and watch. | identified very much with 
these people who had come; | was curious to see the 
spectacle, and very hungry. Woe betide these sculptors 
if the show was unimpressive. Thousands of empty 
stomachs were likely to be harsh critics. 


Pablo climbed up on top of the Foundation-issue truck, 
and with his now ever-present bullhorn, regaled the 
crowd with a somewhat different version of the legend of 
the Virgin of the Thirty-Three than | have ever heard (I 
remember fewer explosions), then commanded the 
sculptors to light their creations ablaze. The three figures 


immediately caught, and a trinity of spectacular columns 
of fire lit the backside of the cathedral and the 
surrounding clearing. 


It couldn't have been more than fifteen minutes of this 
display before we all heard the helicopters. There had to 
have been at least ten of them, passing over the brightly- 
lit clearing and the thousands of onlookers. Parcels 
began raining down on little parachutes, hundreds of 
them, all over the place. It wasn't long before the crowds 
tore into them, and Pablo's promised feast from the 
heavens materialized, courtesy of the United States 
government, who had very thoughtfully included 
generous amounts of alcohol of varying kinds. No one of 
course mentioned that the gathering was not the group 
of refugees fleeing repression in Argentina that they 
thought we were, as | was to find out later after | finally 
managed to roust Pablo from his slumber in the bed of 
my pickup truck. "Say the right words to the right people 
and light some beacons" was all he was able to get out 
as he clutched his head and squinted against the 
morning light. 


| can only conclude that there must be more CIA 
operatives in Montevideo than we thought.

SCP-250: Most of an Allosaurus 


Item #: SCP-250 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-250 is to be kept in a 50- 
meter-by-50-meter enclosure simulating a prairie environment, with 
padded steel walls 15 m high and 1 m thick. The temperature must 
remain between 20 and 28 degrees Celsius by day, and between 10 
and 14 degrees Celsius by night, with an average humidity of no 
more than 8%; this serves the dual purpose of ensuring that 
SCP-250's overall behavior remains predictable, and of maintaining 
the physical integrity of its component parts. Vegetation within the 
enclosure is to be maintained on a weekly basis; see document 250- 
MB48 for details. 


Although SCP-250 does not physically require nutrition, it is to be 
fed one live adult pig every two (2) days in order to regulate its 
aggression and hunting instincts. The remnants of its meal are to be 
removed from its enclosure no less than one (1) hour after the onset 
of its nightly dormancy period; this includes cleaning any residual 
biological debris from SCP-250's physical components with 
compressed air and whisk brooms. At no point during cleaning are 
any of SCP-250's physical components to be moved by more than 1 
meter in any direction, as this risks disrupting its dormancy. 
Dormancy ends within five minutes of sunrise; access to SCP-250's 
containment during its activity period is prohibited. 


Description: SCP-250 is the animate fossil skeleton of an allosaur 
(originally identified as Allosaurus fragilis; however, an incomplete 
scientific article found in the personal effects of paleontologist Dr 
indicates that this classification may have been erroneous). It 
consists of 153 disarticulated bones, and 14 plaster-and-fiberglass 
replacements, held together and animated by an unknown force. 
Study of this force is hindered by SCP-250's aggressive behavior, 
which has been assessed by Foundation palaeozoologists as being 


Summary: Mr. Izquierdo invites Agent Esquivel to watch a football 
match at the home of an acquaintance. 


Result: Near-breach of containment of SCP-2188.

Agent Comments: We had some time to kill before the 
painters arrived. | had never known Pablo to posit 
himself as the subject of someone's work, but this was a 
special occasion, he told me, which had something to do 
with the nice house we were presently in, | am sure. | 
didn't really ask why the nice digs; Pablo was always 
"housesitting” for someone or other, usually an artistic 
patron sort with a crush on a beautiful boy in Pablo's 
orbit. The living arrangement typically ended when they 
ran up against the ferocity Pablo displayed in protection 
of his artists. 


While we waited, it so happened that Defensor was 
playing Rentistas that afternoon, so we donned our 
purple kit and watched the game on a color television 
almost as big as some of the monitors at Site-87. The 
erstwhile residents of this house had excellent taste in 
mate, and Pablo brewed some during the commercial 
breaks. Between the excitement of the match and the 
buzzing in my head from what had to have been seven 
or eight cups of mate, | grew impatient to know why we 
were surrounded by eight blank canvases. Pablo 
explained the project to me. 


"| have commissioned a series of self-portraits in an 
attempt to understand myself more," he said. "| am 
consumed lately by visions of myself in vast fields of 
wheat, chilled to my core by prairie winds. An alien 
landscape, certainly. But not an entirely unpleasant one! 
| feel a sort of connection to this place in my mind, and | 
must know more." 


| knew why this was. Of course | knew why this was, but 
| could not tell him. It may amaze the researchers 


reading these dispatches, but | have not had need to be 
duplicitous with Pablo in the many years | have been his 
keeper. | dreaded him asking me for my insight, when all 
| could offer was lies. Quickly, to change the subject. 
Why self-portraits? 


"There exists, Roberto, a dynamic relationship between 
the artist and his impetus. The artist depicts the concept, 
and in his depiction he changes the concept. You know, 
Heisenberg shit," waving his arms to demonstrate the 
scale of his thinking. "It is in the interplay of this 
relationship that we learn just what something is, and so 
| have called eight able artists to paint my portrait. Why 
am | seized with this vision of a place | have never been, 
so late in my years? | hope that this helps me to 
understand." 


| couldn't help but blanch at this. To hold back from 
Pablo something of great importance to him. He must 
have seen my expression, and | hope to God he misread 
it. He leaned in, a whisper from a conspirator to his 
nervous partner in crime. "And you know, all of this 
would be terribly self-important and vain, of course, if the 
portraits were hanging in my own house!" He laughed at 
his joke, as was his prerogative, and then cheered wildly 
as Manteca buried an equalizer, and | don't know that 
I've ever enjoyed a Defensor goal as much as that one. 


The artists arrived in the course of time, and got to work 
immediately, solemnly setting themselves to a task given 
to them by the great Joaquin Pablo Izquierdo de San 
Felipe as the man himself distributed beer from the 
house's fridge. Each artist feverishly labored to get their 
vision of Pablo up on canvas, as though the greatest 
honor would go to he who finished first. | have never 
seen, before or since, a concerted act of respect greater 
than that paid to Pablo by these eight young painters. 


The first painter to finish, a young woman, rushed to 
show Pablo her handiwork. "Not yet!" he cried, averting 
his gaze, "it must all happen at once, a grand unveiling of 


a collected truth!" he pronounced to the room, laughing 
at the grandiose statement, but | could tell also deadly 
serious. He tossed the brash young painter a beer, and 
she reclined on the couch with us as we waited for the 
others. 


One after another, the painters finished their work, and 
began their own personal assault on the contents of the 
house's kitchen and refrigerator. This arrangement was 
not unusual, as food and drink were an established part 
of the artistic currency in the neighborhoods of 
Montevideo. As the last painter finished and disappeared 
into the kitchen, Pablo sprang up from the couch, 
assumed a position in the center of the room, and closed 
his eyes. "Roberto, if you will do the honors of turning the 
portraits to face me!" he said with a flourish of his hand. 


| went to the first portrait, the one painted by our speedy 
Young Turk, and snuck a peek before | turned it to face 
Pablo. What | saw was a perfect representation of 
Reverend Francis Abernathy, leader of the First 
Methodist Church in Dotson, Nebraska. His face was 
clear as day to me, as though | had the SCP-2188 file 
open in front of my eyes. My shock lasted for three 
seconds, as the various consequences and implications 
sped through my mind. He could not know, | reasoned. 
None of them could possibly know. But how? Another 
two seconds. How was unimportant right now. | turned 
the first portrait around. Each successive picture was 
another significant person in the town of Dotson. What 
kind of painters were these, anyhow? They looked 
nothing like Pablo. | faced all of the portraits, and told 
Pablo to open his eyes. 


He slowly complied, peeking coyly at first, then slowly 
turning, examining the portraits surrounding him. He was 
confused at first, but a smile played slowly across his 
face, and as he kept looking, he laughed, as though he 
was beginning to just now get the punchline of a joke told 
two weeks ago, marveling at his own slow realization. 


"These people, they look as though they should live in 
this place that has taken such hold of my mind!" he said, 
the astonishment continuing to grow in his voice. "It's 
absolutely brilliant! They are the logical outgrowth of this 
place, brought here in the most irrational way possible! 
What a wonderful collection of portraits, well done my 
friends!" 


| told him | didn't follow one bit, continuing with my habit 
of telling the truth to Pablo whenever possible. "Don't you 
see," he said to me, "they have always been here, in the 
realm of the unexpressed idea, waiting for their 
opportunity. And they got tired of waiting! So here they 
are, coming to us of their own accord, being themselves 
and being me at the same time! | am, we are, all of us 
are of this realm. The natural flow of something, I'm not 
sure what, it's returning somehow. Do you understand 
what | mean?" 


| took a few moments to turn his words over in my mind. 
The professional filter told me that this was of concern, 
but a containment breach? So much of this anomaly was 
the exchange of ideas, happening in the open but 
impenetrable to all but we few, happening upon it by 
accident. No. A sublime moment, its participants content 
to let it be as it is. 


"| understand completely," | told him.

Agent Comments: From the street, the hospital always 
looked to me to have its arms outstretched, long robes 
hanging down from its skeletal arms, in an embrace 
none are large enough to escape. In the empty space of 
its heart was Pablo, and every time | miraculously left 
this place alive, | never understood how | could leave 
him within its grasp. 


| had brought him some charcoal pencils and a pad of 
paper the last time | was there. He did not ask for 
anything when he called me in the night and asked me to 
come. 


In the heart of this obscene monument, by the gray light 


of an institutional table lamp | had my last conversation 
with Pablo. He had something to show me, he said on 
the phone. As | arrived, he pulled out his pad of paper. "| 
think | know who you are, Roberto, what you are," he 
wheezed as he struggled to hand over the pad to me. | 
had always wondered just how much Pablo knew. 


| looked at the pad as he summoned the rest of his 
words. He had drawn my portrait, apparently using our 
prior meeting as the basis of his sketch. Pablo had 
always been one to draw the art out of the people around 
him, but very few times had | seen him create something 
himself. | looked at the picture, of myself but not myself 
really, viewed through the eyes of someone else. More 
than the features of my face, what | recognized was my 
own despair. | viewed this desolation as though it 
belonged to someone apart from me, someone else, and 
this was a goddamn dagger through my heart. Pablo 
now had the energy to finish his sentence. 


"What you are, Roberto, is my friend. I'm glad you are 
here." 


Out in the open, there it was. In the empty heart of the 
city's watchful death goddess, decades of the lives of two 
men, laid out in a dingy room surrounded by the early 
morning. 


| can't write any more on this.

Addendum 2188.2 - Future Containment Directives 
DIRECTIVE 2188-03.17 
13 OCTOBER 1998 


To minimize the likelihood of resumption of a known 
anomalous phenomenon, this office accepts the 
recommendation of Field Agent Roberto Esquivel to inter 
the remains of Pol 2188-A (Joaquin Pablo Izquierdo de 
San Felipe) clandestinely at the site of previous 
manifestations of the anomaly in the United States as a 
risk reduction measure. 


Furthermore, Agent Esquivel is hereby transferred from 


well within theoretical norms for an allosaurus. 


SCP-250 emulates what are presumed to have been the standard 
daily activities of a living allosaurus: it wanders its enclosure by day, 
enters a state of dormancy by night, and will attempt to kill and 
devour anything which it perceives as suitable prey, including 
humans. Its lack of organs does not seem to affect its behavior in 
any way, except in that the remains of any prey it consumes will 
inevitably fall out of the gaps in its skull, neck, and ribcage, at which 
point it ignores them. 


SCP-250 was first excavated as an 80%-complete skeleton in 
[REDACTED], 19 ; records from the excavation do not include any 
report of anomalies. In 19, it was transferred to the Museum 
of in [REDACTED], where it was assembled, mounted, and 
put on display. 


On the night of / /20 , SCP-250 seized and killed an intruder to the 
museum. Although damage to the intruder's remains was so 
extensive as to render forensic identification impractical, they were 
conclusively shown to not be those of paleontologist Dr ; 
whose office in the museum was extensively vandalized that night 
and who has not been seen since. Foundation personnel embedded 
within museum staff reported the incident, and SCP-250 was taken 
into custody. 


« SCP-249 | SCP-250 | SCP-251 » 


the Montevideo field office (Site-87) to the base of 
operations established by S-TARC in the vicinity of 
Dotson (Site-41). Agent Esquivel is to begin a new 
assignment assisting S-TARC in documenting and 
analyzing the continuing development of the art 
subculture of Dotson. 


Finally, | personally commend Agent Esquivel for his 
thirty-one years of service in successfully containing 
SCP-2188, and for his continuing commitment to the 
protection of human civilization, in Dotson and 
elsewhere. May his forthcoming research on the legacy 
of Pol 2188-A continue to benefit mankind.

SCP-2189: Clockwork Fruit 


Item #: SCP-2189 
Object Class: Safe Euclid Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-2189-T are to 
be kept in the low-security greenhouses at Biological Containment 
Site-103, with temperature, humidity and soil resembling the native 
conditions of their biological counterparts. Instances of SCP-2189-F 
are to be harvested when ripe, and the metals recycled. 


Special Containment Procedures (Updated // ): Instances of 
SCP-2189-T are to be individually isolated in climate-controlled 
terraria at Bio Site-103. Temperature, humidity and soil resembling 
the native conditions of their biological counterparts are to be 
provided when instances of SCP-2189-F are required for research. 
At other times, a dormant state is to be induced. Class 6 hazmat 
procedures must be observed whenever entering the terraria or 
handling instances of SCP-2189-F. 


Every 30 days, research staff are to collect dissection specimens 
from insect populations in the low-security greenhouses at Bio 
Site-103, as well as certain animal populations near SCP-2189's 
discovery site (see Document 2189-501 for details). Anomalous 
findings from dissection specimens are to be escalated to the Site 
Director. 


Special Containment Procedures (Updated // ): Revision of // 
is to remain in effect. Instances of SCP-2189-C are to be kept in 
cold storage at Bio Site-103 except during active research. 
Approximately 60% of the land under which SCP-2189-X is located 
has been purchased by Foundation front companies, with the 
remainder located under State Forest, which has been brought 
under effective Foundation control through infiltration of relevant 
parks administration offices. Outpost-103-47 has been established 
in the area for observation and research. Locating Pol-2189-1 has 


been designated an Alpha-level priority. 


Description: SCP-2189 is the collective designation for three items 
superficially resembling specimens of Ma/us domestica (AKA an 
apple tree, designated SCP-2189-T-1), Vitis vinifera (AKA a 
common grape vine, designated SCP-2189-T-2) and Musa 
acuminata (AKA a banana plant, designated SCP-2189-T-3), as well 
as their associated fruit (designated SCP-2189-F-1, -2, and -3, 
respectively). 


The bark, epidermis, and peels of SCP-2189 instances are 
indistinguishable from that of their non-anomalous counterparts, 
including genetically. However, in place of the expected internal 
structures are an intricate network of gears, springs, cams, and 
cranks. Removed components are indistinguishable from non- 
anomalous metals, mostly brass. 


When its internal mechanisms are functioning, instances of 
SCP-2189-T respond to their environment similarly to their biological 
counterparts, except that they are always in growing season, and 
parts do not naturally senesce: leaves never change color and fall 
off, bark never sloughs off, and instances of SCP-2189-F remain 
attached indefinitely and do not become overripe. 


SCP-2189-T instances have the same needs as their non- 
anomalous counterparts in terms of water, sunlight, and soil type. 
When deprived of these, the instance's internal mechanisms begin 
to slow, eventually stopping altogether under circumstances 
corresponding to severe malnutrition. If appropriate exposure to 
sunlight, water, and soil are resumed, the instance resumes 
functioning. The internal mechanisms of an SCP-2189-F instance 
will cease functioning if it is picked before ripe, or once it has been 
separated from the corresponding SCP-2189-T instance for about 
the same amount of time it would take its biological counterpart to 
spoil. 


Functioning instances of SCP-2189-F can be eaten and digested. 
Subjects report that the flavor and texture are typical of the type of 
fruit corresponding to the instance. Juices dripping from an 
SCP-2189-F instance incidental to being consumed are identical to 
non-anomalous counterparts.! Mechanisms that are bitten through 


will continue their normal movement, with portions of the mechanism 
moving from the main mass to the bitten-off piece and back again, 
as if the mechanism were still intact. This spatial anomaly appears 
to continue on an increasingly small scale as SCP-2189-F pieces 
are further broken down in the mouth and digestive tract. 


If the peel of an SCP-2189-F instance is removed, the mechanical 
interior will continue to function. However, if anything other than 
animal mouthparts penetrates deeper than the peel of an 
SCP-2189-F instance, the internal mechanisms of that instance will 
jam. Once this occurs, all portions of the instance will cease to 
function as fruit. The mechanisms can no longer be bitten through, 
and bites already taken will become indigestible. Consequent 
autopsies of animal and D-class test subjects identified either 
gastrointestinal trauma or copper toxicity as the cause of death, 
depending on the stage of digestion. 


Addendum 1: One of the early test subjects of SCP-2189, D-51259, 
was subsequently assigned to be [REDACTED] for SCP- _ , and 
consequently had her termination deferred by three months. When 
SCP- attempted to remove [REDACTED] D-51259 was givena 
detailed autopsy with biopsies of all tissues. This unusually thorough 
postmortem analysis was standard practice for all D-class who had 
been used to test SCP-2189, and the directive remained in 
D-51259's personnel file despite the fact that active testing of 
SCP-2189 had been concluded. 


Microscopic brass gears were discovered in some samples of 
D-51259’s adipose and lymphatic tissue, and her liver was found to 
contain a cluster of five interlocked gears ranging in diameter from 
0.1-0.4mm, the largest of which was attached to a 0.3mm-long 
camshaft. These structures were not found in D-class personnel 
who died during or shortly after testing of SCP-2189. Testing of 
SCP-2189 has resumed and a proposal to reclassify as Euclid is 
currently being drafted by the research team. 


Addendum 2: Subsequent to SCP-2189's reclassification, Field 
Agents Dietrich and Harris conducted a review of public and police 
records to identify deaths and missing person cases potentially 
linked to SCP-2189. They flagged for investigation the 
disappearance ofL RF _ ,aretired aerospace engineer who lived in 


a cabin several miles from State Forest, where SCP-2189 was 
discovered. 


Upon entering R_ 's home, the Agents discovered over three dozen 
clocks and watches. All of those that retained legible manufacturer 
markings were later identified as being of purely mechanical design, 
without electrical components. Approximately two dozen of the 
timepieces were found with their outer components (casings, faces, 
etc.) in a state of extreme corrosion inconsistent with their apparent 
date of manufacture and conditions of storage. These instances 
lacked internal components, and were covered in mold. 


Fourteen instances were found in R's deep freeze. These 
instances had uncorroded exteriors, and contained a multicolored 
biological material later identified as a patchwork of various tissues 
found in Malus domestica, Vitis vinifera, and Musa acuminata. 
These instances were found to be keeping accurate time despite 
their lack of internal mechanisms. 


Agents also confiscated numerous hand-written notebooks 
containing diagrams and arrays of symbols. Analysis of the 
notebooks has been hindered by mold damage, but the legible 
portion of the text includes common equations from mechanical 
engineering with unidentified symbols inserted in place of various 
constants. 


The timepieces have been designated SCP-2189-C, andL R 
has been designated Person of Interest 2189-1. 


Addendum 3: Agents Dietrich and Harris interviewed several of 
Pol-2189-1's superiors and coworkers at Aeronautics, where he 
was employed for 32 years. Pol-2189-1 appears to have been 
socially isolated and regarded as increasingly eccentric during the 
final years of his employment. He was reportedly pushed into 
retirement when he began talking openly about the "engineering 
applications" of various occult practices, most frequently “sacred 
geometry and geography." 


Agents also interviewed the individual who initially reported 
Pol-2189-1 missing, his nephew and nextofkinJd H .H_~ claims 
to have been the only visitor to Pol-2189-1's cabin after Pol-2189-1 


retired there, and that Pol-2189-1 spent the past several years 
constructing an “elaborate contraption covered in drawings." H 
states that he actively avoided discussion of Pol-2189-1's occult 
interests, and is unable to provide useful details about the alleged 
apparatus or Pol-2189-1's activities during this time, other than that 
Pol-2189-1 claimed several times to have selected the location of 
the cabin for reasons of “sacred geometry and geography.” 


Researchers conducted a thorough geological survey of the 
property. Subterranean mapping of the area was hampered when 
standard GPR? was unable to produce clear output. A 
[IREDACTED]] system was employed, which identified a metallic 
sphere approximately min diameter, buried atadepth of m, and 
connected by a curved shaft to a much larger object at the limit of 
the [[REDACTED]]'s range. Probing of the surrounding region was 
conducted under cover of a study by the U.S. Geological Survey, 
and the central mass was found to be connected to similar soheres 
as far away as , ranging in diameter from mto0O. km. The 
overall structure of the object resembles an orrery, buried ina 
vertical orientation roughly along the line of latitude at ° 'N. 


A mineral exploration drilling rig with diamond drill bits successfully 
penetrated the sphere closest to the surface and extracted a core 
sample. The interior layers consisted of tissues found in disparate 
human body parts, including layers made of heart muscle, tendons, 
and neurons. The outer shell was found to be brass. The structure 
has been designated SCP-2189-X. 


Surveillance of J H produced the following recovered voicemail, 
received // 3 and deleted the same day, apparently left by 
Pol-2189-1 in a state of inebriation: 


It works, Johnny-boy! It works. Every part of it works. | 
did as tough a test as | could think of short of the real 
thing. Complex systems, groups of, you know, groups of 
complex systems, one of the earth and one clean and 
mechanical, matching the [unintelligible] function versus 
structure, and it all fell into place, like clockwork, 
perfectly engineered! Smooth and perfect! You do the 
right things, and the right things will happen! You can't 
laugh at the rules of the universe like some political 


middle manager bullshitter [unintelligible] and expect to 
get away with it! It's not a theory, it's not hoodoo, it's 
sacred geometry and geography! [laughs] | really wish 
you were here to see it. Oh, | know you think I'm crazy 
too, Johnny-boy, but you've been the only one to stand 
by me, and | want you to know that in the world to come, 
you and Sherry will be protected. You'll sit at my right 
hand. The Sleeping King will never wake up, Johnny- 
boy. | will. 


Further invasive testing of SCP-2189-X was prohibited and 
SCP-2189 upgraded to Keter by order of O5- . 


| don't need to tell you that we got caught with our pants 
down on this one, or that we might well have remained in 
the dark for far longer if an accidental discovery hadn't 
forced you to take a second look at SCP-2189. The 
simple step of assigning Agents to investigate the SCP's 
origins at the time of containment could have been a real 
game-changer. 


Instead, SCP-2189 spent critical months mis-classified 
as Safe, with no one looking into it, because no one in 
Site-103's chain of command — not your project head, not 
your director of research, and not you — thought that it 
might be worthwhile to study the long-term effects of 
eating an SCP. That kind of incurious attitude is the 
exact opposite of what we pay researchers for. And your 
claim that you couldn't assign investigative resources 
until SCP-2189 was reclassified as Euclid won't fly. You 
have a discretionary budget for precisely this reason. 


We still don't know exactly what R did, whether he got 
what he wanted, or for that matter whether the effects of 
his little dress rehearsal are still working their way up the 
food chain in and your own Site's greenhouses. What 
we do know for certain is that we gave him a three- 
month head start. In light of these events, I've decided 
your talents would be better utilized elsewhere in the 
organization. You are relieved of your duties as Site 
Director, effective immediately.

SCP-2190: Phone calls from Mom 


Item #: SCP-2190 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Foundation agents embedded 
in regional cell phone manufacturers and distributors are to ensure 
that all phones sold within SCP-2190’s active area included modified 
SIM cards designed to automatically filter calls from SCP-2190. 


Undercover field agents living near POI-2190-2’s place of residence 
are trusted to monitor and ensure the wellbeing of POI-2190-2 and 
her family, as well as dissuade members of the community from 
believing that POI-2190-3 is anything other than a loving husband. 


Description: SCP-2190 is a telephonic entity that manifests in 
communication systems within the country of the Philippines. 
Records of previous manifestations have shown that SCP-2190 
possesses the personality, vocal quality, and financial resources of 
, a deceased Filipino woman designated POI-2190-1. 
SCP-2190 is capable of calling any mobile phone within a 100km 
radius of the home in which POI-2190-2 currently resides. The first 
SCP-2190 phone call took place on 02/05/2007, three days after 
POI-2190-1 passed away at the age of 78 due to heart failure. 


SCP-2190 has complete, irrevocable control over POI-2190-1's 
savings and liquid assets. This encompasses the full breadth of 
resources possessed by POI-2190-1 prior to her death, as 
POI-2190-1 retained complete ownership of these resources even 
after being declared legally deceased. Suspected anomalous 
bureaucratic influence is being investigated. 


All attempts to prevent or limit SCP-2190's access to its financial 
resources have consistently met with failure. Any attempt to close, 
transfer ownership, or edit the balance of POI-2190-1's bank 
account via computerized systems will result in a system error, and 


any alterations to physical documents pertaining to SCP-2190's 
wealth will anomalously revert the following day. Additionally, 
individuals employed at financial institutions will immediately forget 
any instructions to alter or deny transactions from POI-2190-1's 
bank account. 


Every two to three weeks, SCP-2190 places a phone call to an 
individual of its choosing. Records indicate that SCP-2190 makes its 
selections based on the following criteria: 


¢ The recipient must reside in close proximity to POI-2190-2's 
place of living. 

¢ The recipient must possess a reasonable level of physical 
fitness and intelligence. 

¢ The recipient must have an urgent need to acquire a large 
sum of money. 


SCP-2190 introduces itself during these calls as the mother of 

(designated POI-2190-2), daughter of POI-2190-1. SCP-2190 
will go on to claim that POI-2190-2 is trapped in an abusive 
relationship with her husband, Albert (POI-2190-3), and will beg 
for the recipient of the call to help in ending the relationship between 
the two. A $5,000 (P224,850) reward is offered for successful 
termination of the marriage, with 10% delivered upfront. If the 
recipient agrees, SCP-2190 will provide them with POI-2190-2’s 
present location, as well as the locations of POI-2190-3 and their 
son, Philip (POI-2190-4). If the individual receiving the call 
agrees to these terms, they will receive $500 (P22,485) via wire 
transfer two to three days later. 


SCP-2190 was discovered in 2008 during a police investigation into 
the kidnapping of POI-2190-4. The abductors had sent POI-2190-2 
a ransom note demanding that she immediately annul her marriage, 
change her name, and return home to her mother. POI-2190-2 
chose to ignore the demands and enlisted the help of local law 
enforcement, who successfully located the boy and apprehended his 
captors. Field agents embedded in the Philippine judiciary brought 
SCP-2190 to the Foundation’s attention when POI-2190-2’s mother, 
whom the kidnappers named as an accomplice and whom 
POI-2190-2 testified to be frequently communicating with, was found 
to have been deceased for several years. 


SCP-251: The Deceptive Snow Globe 


SCP-251 on 13 October 2001 


Item #: SCP-251 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-251 is to be kept ina 
locked container at all times. No one is to enter the container alone. 
If anyone is found to have been left alone in the container for any 
amount of time, they are to be treated as violently hostile and 
terminated with extreme prejudice. 


The container is to be guarded by armed personnel at all times and 
guards should never allow anyone, regardless of clearance level, to 
move the artifact or be alone with it. 


Sounds of screaming, gunfire, and fires will be heard from within the 
container. This is normal. 


Description: Origin unknown. SCP-251 consistently appears to be 
a small snow globe. Attached is a series of photographs taken of the 
same artifact over time. This indicates that the snow globe is at least 
partially animate. However, when viewed directly by multiple people, 
there is no apparent movement except by a perpetual "blizzard". 
SCP-251 has not been moved since its arrival at Site-19, but the 
"snowflakes" have never ceased falling. 


The scenes depicted in SCP-251 are all extremely violent or morbid, 
occasionally depicting something fantastical, while mostly depicting 
more realistic brutality. 


All those who have been alone with SCP-251 for any amount of time 


have later displayed extreme violence, xenophobia, and emotional 
distress. 


SCP-251 on 25 November 1993 


After SCP-2190 was confirmed to be anomalous in nature, 
POI-2190-2’s family was placed in Foundation custody. They had 
originally been planned to remain as permanent on-site residents; 
however, their presence in Site-92 caused SCP-2190 to begin 
placing calls on confidential Foundation communication networks. 
As this constituted an unacceptable security breach, the family was 
administered amnestics and allowed to reintegrate into society. 
Extensive observation of POI-2190-2’s family life over the 
subsequent years has shown no evidence of abusive tendencies on 
the part of POI-2190-3. 


Document Log: The following is an excerpt from an interview with 
POI-2190-2 conducted during her brief time at Site-92. 


+ [Display document] 


My mother and father were both from here, in 
the Philippines, but she left [him] for an 
American so that she could get a visa and go 
to the US. | was left with my father. She never 
tried to contact me until | was 19. She called 
me on the phone, and | was so surprised 
because | thought she did not know me or care 
for me. She told me she had found a husband 
for me in America and she was sending [him] 
to me so we could be married. 


| told her “No, | have already have a boyfriend 
here.” And she asked me if he was American, 
and | told her no. Then she says | have to 
marry an American so | can come to the 
states. She says it is much better over there. | 
told her | love my boyfriend, so she calls me 
names and names, she says |’m so stupid, 
tells me | have to marry an American. She tells 
me that after all this time she still loves me and 
wants me to be at her house in America with 
her. Can you imagine, after nineteen years she 
doesn’t talk to me? 


But even still, she is my mother, and | was 


happy to know she still loves me, so | told her, 
“| will not leave Albert, because | love him very 
much, but | will try to get a visa and go to you.” 
She told me it’s okay as long as | come be 
there with her. Then she calls me every week, 
asking me question about Albert. She asks if 
he is a Catholic, and | lie to her, “yes,” 
because | am afraid she will hate him if she 
knows he is a Christian." 


Two days later | get a call, and my mother is 
screaming at me all these things. She tells me 
| need to leave Albert because he a Christian. | 
tell her, “No, | love Albert. | love that Albert is a 
Christian, and | am a Christian now, too.” She 
was very upset, she said she would pray for 
my soul to not go to hell. She said she would 
pray that Albert would leave me so | would 
stop being a Christian and be saved. | asked 
how she found out Albert was Christian, and 
she told me she called her family here in the 
Philippines and asked them to check and 
found out. 


She did not call me so much after that. When 
she talked she would always tell me how much 
she loved me and wanted me to live with her in 
her big house in the US, and every time she 
called she would ask me if | left Albert yet or if 
[he] left me. Several times Albert would come 
home from work and get attacked by people 
telling him he was going to hell. They hit him 
until he was on the ground, and the women 
even scratch him with their nails. | think it was 
maybe my mother’s family or friends, but when 
| ask her she said she did not know anything 
about that. 


Eventually my mother tells me that she will pay 
for my trip the US, and she will let me stay with 


her. She said she is very rich and does not 
have to work, and | would not have to work if | 
went to live with her. This was in 1995, Albert 
and | were already married and Philip was just 
born. We did not have so much money, so | 
got a work visa and decided to go to the States 
to get a job and send money home to family. | 
asked my mother if | could stay with her, and 
she told me it was okay. 


When | got to the States, there was a— what do 
you Call that— the big, long car? Ah, right. 
There was a limousine waiting for me at the 
airport. My mother’s house was very big. Her 
husband was the owner of a company and he 
had a lot of money. My mother threw a big 
party when | arrived. She gave me so many 
gifts and told me she loved me. She said the 
house was too big for just her and her 
husband, and she wanted her real children to 
be with her. She also told me she wanted 
Philip to live there, too. 


My mother did not want me to get a job, but | 
did anyway, because | needed to send money 
to Albert. After a few weeks, my mother came 
to my room with a very expensive dress, and 
said she would take me to a party at her 
friend’s house. The dress was very nice, and | 
had been working very hard, so | agreed. 


But then when we got inside the car, she drove 
us to some kind of nightclub. | asked her, “Why 
are we here? You said we were going to your 
friend’s house.” And she laughed and told me 
it was a Surprise. She wanted to give mea 
good time. We were already there, so | went 
inside. My mother kept telling me to drink, 
giving me more and more drinks. | did not 
drink them, but | pretended to. 


When it was late, my mother brought me toa 
man named Randall. She said he was rich and 
that he wanted to sleep with me, and he could 
even marry me and get me a permanent visa. | 
asked my mother, “Is this why you took me 
here to the states? So you could get me drunk 
and sleep with an American? Don’t you know 
I’m already married to Albert?” And she tells 
me to forget about Albert, that | need to marry 
an American. Imagine, even though | have 
already a husband and a son! 


| made my mother take us home. She was 
very mad, but she did it anyway. After that, she 
was always bringing men to the house. She 
told me again and again that | needed to get 
married to an American while | am still 
beautiful and 26. 


One night | told her, “Mom, please stop. | love 
Albert very much, not because of money, but 
because | love him so much, and we are so 
happy together.” | told her | will never leave 
him. Even though it was cruel, | said, “I will not 
abandon my child and my husband like you 
did! You left us for money and toys and 
parties, and you never cared about me for 19 
years until you realized you wanted me! You 
don’t love me, you only want me like a dress or 
a doll. You only love yourself!” 


She got so angry then, it was like a demon 
was inside her. She was screaming and 
screaming and throwing things everywhere. 
Finally her husband had to come and take her 
away to their room. [He] told her | was an 
adult, and | should marry who | want. And so 
my mother promised to stop bringing men to 
the house, but | think it was only to make her 
husband happy. | told him | wanted to go 


home, so he bought me a ticket and | left the 
next day. 


When | was back in the Philippines, | did not 
hear from my mother again until, | think, 2002. 
She said her husband had died and she was 
very lonely. She wanted me to come back to 
the US and to bring Philip, but Albert would 
have to stay behind. | told her “no,” but she 
kept calling and calling. | stopped answering 
her. 


Then there started to be rumors that Albert 
was hitting me. Even at church, people said 
they heard the rumors. | knew it was my 
mother again. | told Albert, “Maybe she thinks 
you will leave me if she makes rumors.” He 
told me it was okay, and he would never leave 
me. Ever since we met, we have always loved 
each other so much, and we are always happy 
together, even when we had no money, and 
even now that we are here in this place. 


My mother never stopped calling me, and 
never stopped making rumors. My husband 
would get attacked, and several times he was 
arrested, and | had to explain to the police 
what was happening. One time a man 
punched me in the face, and apologized and 
told me that someone had given him a lot of 
money to punch me. Then another man hit me, 
and after that | was always being attacked, 
and people thought it was Albert. We moved 
many times, but everywhere we went it 
happened. 


Several times Albert said that he would leave if 
| wanted him to. He did not want me to be hurt 
anymore, and he did not want Philip to grow 
up being told his father was a wife beater. | 
told him that as long as he wanted to be with 


me, | would never ask him to leave. He was 
the only thing in my life that made me happy 
after my mother caused me to suffer so much. 


Albert and Philip and | have suffered so much 
because of my mother. Every night | prayed to 
God, “Please, Lord, let her die so she can no 
longer make my family suffer.” And | also 
prayed for forgiveness, because she was still 
my mother, and | knew | should love her. And 
you know, | do still love her, even until now. | 
cannot love what she does to my family, but 
she is still my mother, and | hate the things 
she does but | still love. 


The last time | talked to her on the phone, | 
said, “I still love you even though | also love 
Albert. My love for you is not less because | 
also love him.” And she cried and cried and 
told me that she’s lonely in her big house. She 
said her house was always getting bigger and 
it would not stop. She told me that sometimes 
she gets lost in her big house, and it’s full of 
toys and dresses for her children and her 
grandchildren, but she is all alone and she 
can't get out. 


| don’t know if she will ever stop making our 
family suffer, but | do not feel angry at her 
anymore. | know that as much as she is 
hurting us, she is hurting even more, and that 
is because of the things she did when she was 
alive. | pray for her soul every day. Even if she 
could no longer make her phone calls, and we 
were happy here, | would still pray for her to be 
at peace, because she is my mother. 


Addendum: The following is a statement from SCP-2190's 
supervising researcher, Dr. Jethro Bostenero, regarding SCP-2190’s 
containment procedures: 


Over the past few years, a number of colleagues have 
approached me with concerns about SCP-2190’s 
containment. Essentially, the question people seem to 
have is, “Why are we spending so much money and 
manpower on the current containment procedures when 
the anomaly could potentially be rendered inert by 
separating POI-2190-2 and POI-2190-3?” 


Rest assured that alternate containment procedures 
were proposed and considered. The containment 
procedures that are currently in place were specifically 
selected and approved by the O5 council for the 
following reasons: 


Firstly, intentionally separating POI-2190-2 and 
POI-2190-3 would constitute the attempted neutralization 
of an anomalous phenomenon. Neutralization attempts 
are only to be carried out if the anomaly in question 
poses a significant risk to normalcy and humanity at 
large. SCP-2190 does not meet this requirement. “We 
are not the Coalition, we contain, not destroy” is an age- 
old mantra that I’m sure you’re tired of hearing, but it’s 
still very applicable to this situation. 


Secondly, the present set of containment procedures 
aren't nearly as extravagant as detractors have 
suggested. It’s standard practice to have undercover 
field agents in large population centers, and Baguio is no 
exception, so we're not losing any extra manpower. The 
modified SIM cards are paid for by the sales of the 
phones themselves, and therefore cost us nothing. 


There is also a third reason, which is, quite simply, 
sentiment. It’s no secret that suicide rates are high 
among Foundation personnel, a fact that is generally 
attributed to the difficult decisions we have to make and 
the actions we have to perform for the greater good. 
SCP-2190 is something of a victory, a rare case in which 
containing an SCP means allowing a family who has 
endured a living hell to finally live happily ever after. The 
value of the morale boosts provided by these feel-good 


stories cannot be overstated. 


If you have any other questions or concerns regarding 
SCP-2190, feel free to call me any time during regular 
business hours.

SCP-2191: "Dracula Factory" 


Item #: SCP-2191 
Object Class: Keter (formerly Euclid) 


Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation is to maintain 
surveillance operations but is otherwise not to directly interfere with 
SCP-2191 or the ritual practices of communities within the vicinity of 
the Hoia Forest. Exploration of SCP-2191 is prohibited outside of 
remotely controlled drones. Foundation operatives are to maintain 
the facade of forest rangers in the employ of the Romanian 
government. In the event of a SCP-2191 security breach by civilians 
or hostile entities, lethal force is authorized. 


Description: SCP-2191 is a temple complex located within the 
dense Hoia Forest of Romania. The first two floors of the structure 
hold a close resemblance to Eastern Orthodox monasteries 
commonly found in the region. This is suspected to have been a 
deliberate effort to disguise the true nature of SCP-2191. Thracian 
and Dacian architecture have both been discovered in the lower 
levels of the temple complex and artifacts belonging to the Cucuteni- 
Trypillian culture have been recovered from the system of tunnels 
that makes up the lowest known portion of SCP-2191. The caverns 
of SCP-2191 are not thought to have formed naturally and were 
likely constructed ca. 4800 to 3000 BC. 


SCP-2191 is inhabited by a population of organisms classified as 
SCP-2191-1. Instances of SCP-2191-1 are considered genetically 
human but have undergone several significant, seemingly fatal 
mutations. SCP-2191-1 lack all major internal organs with the 
exception of the lungs, heart, and brain stem. The outer epidermis 
lacks pigmentation and displays a condition resembling cracked 
porcelain, possibly related to Harlequin syndrome. Entities appear 
androgynous, lacking or having somehow removed secondary sex 
characteristics. Their regressed eyes are covered by a layer of skin, 
rendering them mostly blind but still able to react to light (universally 


displaying aversion to wavelengths > 100 nm). Further deviations 
from baseline homo sapiens include especially flat, upturned noses, 
and funnel-shaped ears; both considered related to their 
dependency on olfactory and auditory perception. SCP-2191-1 do 
not appear to communicate via language, the only sound produced 
being a persistent clicking of the tongue — speculated to be a form of 
echolocation. 


SCP-2191-1 do not readily appear to undergo senescence and have 
not aged since containment. Further analysis has revealed an 
abnormally slow metabolism. SCP-2191-1 instances are not 
believed to be biologically immortal but have a significantly 
decreased rate of necrosis. 


SCP-2191-2 refers to a collective of vermiform organisms; these 
organisms vary in size, form, and purpose, and are accordingly 
classified as SCP-2191-2A, SCP-2191-2B, and SCP-2191-2C. 
Genetic analysis of SCP-2191-2 show close relation with fellow 
subgroups, their most recent common ancestors being Homo 
sapiens. It has been speculated that SCP-2191-2 did not naturally 
evolve on their own but their true origin remains unknown. 


SCP-2191-2A superficially resemble petromyzontiformes (lamprey) 
but whose internal structure more closely resemble hirudinea 
(leeches). Each SCP-2191-1 has a SCP-2191-2A instance within 
their abdomen, primarily located where the stomach and large/small 
intestines would exist. 


SCP-2191-2B are an infestation of vermiform organisms that live 
throughout the hollow walls of SCP-2191. SCP-2191 appears to 
have been constructed with a system of channels through which 
SCP-2191-2B travel. These thin, long organisms will enter 
SCP-2191-1 orifices (primarily via the mouth or rectum) but do not 
appear to cause harm or discomfort to their hosts. SCP-2191-2B are 
believed to redistribute nutrients throughout SCP-2191, extracted 
from any SCP-2191-1 which have recently fed. 


SCP-2191-2C, like SCP-2191-2B, inhabit the interior architecture of 
SCP-2191. These tendril-like appendages are composed primarily of 
neurons and attach to SCP-2191-1 at the base of the spine while 
inactive. Only when attached to SCP-2191-2C do SCP-2191-1 


SCP-251 on 2 July 1997 


« SCP-250 | SCP-251 | SCP-252 » 


display behavior resembling that of a sapient organism (including 
posturing suggestive of prayer). SCP-2191-1 are considered inactive 
while connected to SCP-2191-2C. 


During an active state, SCP-2191-1 entities will leave SCP-2191 and 
aggressively hunt for living humans - ignoring non-human animals 
and deceased individuals. Active states do not occur simultaneously 
among SCP-2191-1 (although an active state will always occur 
between dusk and dawn) nor do they hunt as a pack, choosing to 
spread throughout the forest. A paralytic agent is employed to 
disable their prey, injected via venom-delivering barbs located in the 
lower carpals of both hands. 


When prey have been successfully incapacitated, SCP-2191-1 will 
open its mouth and widen its throat, unhinging its jaw in the process. 
SCP-2191-2A will then emerge from SCP-2191-1's interior cavity, 
initiating the feeding process by latching to the victim neck via a 
toothed, funnel-like sucking mouth. SCP-2191-2A will first inject the 
body with digestive enzymes, liquidizing organ, muscle, and bone 
alike before consuming the resultant fluids. The process can last 
anywhere from 20 to 50 minutes, depending on the size of its prey. 


Although known to those living in the vicinity of the Hoia Forest, 
SCP-2191 was not recognized by the Foundation as an anomaly 
until August 1916, after the unexplained disappearance of 244 
members of the Austro-Hungarian First Army during the Battle of 
Transylvania. Due to the First World War, operations to contain the 
threat did not begin until early 1919. Without a source of food, 
SCP-2191-1 entities appeared to enter a dormant state as of 
December 1924. 


Several incidents, occurring between 1932 and 1977, would result in 
the discovery of SCP-2191-3. 


+ List of Incidents: 


* 26 September, 1932 - Greece: The lerissos 
earthquake devastates the Chalkidiki peninsula 
and results in 491 reported causalities. 126 
individuals were unaccounted for but the event 
was ultimately deemed non-anomalous, a 


connection to SCP-2191 established years later. 


¢« December 26, 1939 - Turkey: The Erzincan 
earthquake results in the deaths of approximately 
33,000 people. Locals report a "great serpent" 
rising from the ground at the onset of the 
earthquake. The Foundation begins to investigate 
the region. 


¢« November 10, 1940 - Romania: An earthquake 
strikes Vrancea; causalities are low. Civilians 
report "vampire attacks" in wake of the disaster, 
media outlets publicly dismissing the claim as 
superstition. 


March 18, 1953 - Turkey: The Yenice-G6énen 
earthquake causes widespread damage, killing 
over 1,000 people. Several survivors report seeing 
the "arm of an octopus" rupture from the earth. 
Civilians report "pale men" attacking survivors in 
the night, reports ceasing after approximately one 
month after the disaster. 


July 26, 1963 - Macedonia: The Skopje 
earthquake kills over 1,000 people and renders 
200,000 homeless. Approximately 500 would go 
missing in wake of the disaster. Reports of "pale 
men" in the night are common. 


¢ March 4, 1977 - Romania: The Vrancea 
earthquake kills over 1,500 (however, only 800 
bodies are accounted for). Reports of "pale men" 
and tendrils pulling victims beneath the ground. 
Panic spreads throughout the region. Foundation 
operatives are able to confirm a connection to 
SCP-2191. 


+ SCP-2191-3 


SCP-2191-3 is an organism whose core is located deep 
beneath SCP-2191. Its true size has proven difficult, if 


not entirely impossible to measure, but root-like 
appendages extend throughout an area of approximately 
660,000 square km. SCP-2191-3 secretes a highly 
corrosive substance which is employed in the creation of 
tunnels throughout the Balkan Peninsula. 


SCP-2191-3 is sapient and exerts control over 
SCP-2191-1 and SCP-2191-2 organisms via physical 
interaction with SCP-2191-2C! and through the release 
of complex pheromones. SCP-2191-1 entities (through 
the use of SCP-2191-2A and SCP-2191-2B) act as 
feeder drones for SCP-2191-3. 


lt has since been discovered that civilians, native to 
several isolated villages in vicinity of Hoia Forest, have 
actively provided human sacrifices to SCP-2191 asa 
means of minimizing seismic activity. 


+ Interview / /1977 
Interviewed: Draga Negrescu 
Interviewer: Dr. Judith Low 


Foreword: Draga Negrescu is a village elder 
and midwife, 96 years of age, from . She 
has proven knowledgeable with regards to the 
folklore and traditions associated with 
SCP-2191 and claims to be a descendant of 
the Solomonari2. Interview conducted in Daco- 
Romanian. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Judith Low: What can you tell me about 
the temple? 


Draga Negrescu: It is where the Mother 
resides. Like a queen, she sends her faithful 
bees to collect nectar; like good beekeepers, 
we help the hive flourish. As you now know, it 


is best for all that we be allowed to continue 
our sacred duty. 


Dr. Judith Low: Who is the Mother? 


Draga Negrescu: The Mother was once a 
princess; the most beautiful daughter of the 
Blood Empress. The Great Karcist, Sorcerer- 
King of Adytum, sought to conquer her as he 
did the domain of the Blood Empress. He 
claimed her, as was his right, and she became 
his favored concubine. In time, she came to 
worship the Great Karcist, just as we who hold 
to the old ways do. She begged to bear his 
children and the Great Karcist blessed her with 
his sacred seed. 


The Mother swelled with joy and life. Here she 
was planted and here she grew. We, like the 
Pale Ones, must keep her fat and satisfied. 
The Pale spew the nectar into her many 
mouths and her brood suckle upon her teats 
and grow strong. 


The Mother and the land are now one. Her 
earthen womb swells and soon she will 
rupture. All around you is tinder for the Gods. 


<End Log> 
+ A Statement from the O05 Council 


There are some who wish to believe that the 
Foundation has never, nor will ever, cater to 
the designs and desires of an anomalous 
entity. Foundation efforts to contain SCP-2191 
are now thought to have inadvertently led to 
the deaths of approximately 40,000 over 45 
years. 


The obvious choice would be to neutralize the 


threat. 


And we've tried. The number of civilian and 
Foundation casualties being well beyond 
acceptable numbers. 


In order to contain the larger threat, we must 
allow it to feed. We are aware of the offense 
caused by this procedure. This is not the first 
time, nor will it be the last, that the Foundation 
has been forced to commit a lesser evil in 
prevention of a greater. We do believe that, in 
the end, our current method is the most 
preferable - with regards to both ethics and 
efficiency. 


We are fully aware that every sacrifice feeds 
SCP-2191-3, allowing it and its brood to thrive. 


But we are not about to sacrifice the entire 
Balkan Peninsula to neutralize that threat. 


Not yet. 


1. Now considered to be specialized appendages attached to 
SCP-2191-3. 

2. Now known to be a Proto-Sarkic sect. It remains debatable 
whether modern practitioners should be considered true Solomonari, 
in event of what has been learned at SCP-__. Modern practitioners 
are located in isolated pockets throughout the Carpathians, with little 
to no connection with one another. The religion, in its current state, 
is an amalgam of local folk traditions and Solomonari blood rituals.

SCP-2192: "Milaya," the Atomic Child 


Item #: SCP-2192 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2192 is to be kept ina 
concrete chamber lined with lead bricks at least 10 cm in width and 
coated inside and out with heat-resistant ceramic material. These 
bricks must be checked weekly for warping and/or melting and 
replaced accordingly. Any furniture provided for SCP-2192's use 
must be constructed of heat and flame-resistant materials. The 
chamber must be fitted with a high-pressure cold water sprinkler 
system, a gauge for monitoring temperature, and a gauge for 
monitoring ambient level of radioactivity. SCP-2192 may be provided 
toys appropriate for the 5-7 year age range if requested, as well as 
crayons colored pencils and paper a slate and colored chalk (see 
addendums 2192-01 and 2192-01a) for entertainment purposes. 
SCP-2192 is not to be removed from its chamber at any time, and 
any personnel entering its container must wear a radiation suit at all 
times. SCP-2192's chamber must be monitored at all times for 
changes in temperature and radiation levels. The sprinkler system 
must be immediately activated if the ambient temperature inside the 
chamber rises by more than 10°C. 


Any materials removed from SCP-2192's chamber must be 
decontaminated and disposed of. 


All personnel coming off of shift rotation overseeing SCP-2192 must 
take the standard physical and psychological evaluation. Potassium 
lodide tablets will be made available to any staff concerned about 
exposure to SCP-2192. 


Description: SCP-2192 is a human child between the ages of five 
and seven, measuring 114 cm in height and weighing approximately 
20 kg. Due to the extensive tissue damage covering the entirety of 
SCP-2192's surface area, its sex is not physically apparent; blood 


and DNA tests have also proven inconclusive, as well as dangerous 
due to the object's anomalous qualities. SCP-2192 identifies itself as 
female, and responds to the word "Milaya" as well as other Russian 
terms of endearment. SCP-2192 speaks and reads Russian ata 
level typical of the average native speaker in the five to seven year 
age range. The temperament of SCP-2192 is typical of a normal 
child between the ages of five and seven, and psychological 
development appears normal given the circumstances of 
SCP-2192's containment. SCP-2192 is typically well-behaved, 
friendly and empathetic towards staff, and appears to enjoy 
socializing with anyone entering its chamber, commonly referring to 
them as "friends." 


100% of SCP-2192's surface area is covered in what appear to be 
severe radiation burns, causing the complete destruction of 80% or 
more of the epidermis, severe damage to the underlying dermis, and 
5 to 10% exposure and damage to the hypodermis. Due to the 
resulting nerve damage, these burns do not typically cause 
SCP-2192 serious pain, although SCP-2192 does commonly 
express feelings of discomfort. If SCP-2192 does complain of 
discomfort or pain, common treatments for radiation burns as well as 
a mild sedative may be administered. The burns have not shown 
any sign of healing since SCP-2192's containment, and first aid 
seems to have no appreciable effect, although SCP-2192 seems to 
enjoy the attention. SCP-2192 has not changed in height or weight 
since its containment and still retains the temperament of a child. At 
this time, it is assumed that SCP-2192's anomalous qualities may 
also have stunted its growth (see Addendum 2192-02). 


SCP-2192 is highly radioactive, producing a high-enough level of 
gamma radiation to cause acute illness within 60 minutes of 
exposure if proper safety procedures are not maintained. The 
normal internal body temperature of SCP-2192 while resting or ina 
relaxed state is approximately 120°C, but in states of agitation the 
object's outer temperature has been recorded at levels exceeding 
400°C. The level of radioactive energy emitted by SCP-2192 
increases proportionately during moments of physical or emotional 
distress. This appears to be an automatic response, similar to bodily 
changes associated with the "Fight or Flight" Response. 


SCP-2192 was first discovered in March of 199 by Foundation 
researchers investigating reports of anomalous phenomena in the 
area surrounding . At that time, SCP-2192 was living alone in 
the ruins of an abandoned apartment complex in ; . Upon 
first approach, SCP-2192 initially reacted with fear, but very quickly 
grew accustomed to the researchers, and eventually approached 
and offered them what SCP-2192 referred to as "a pretty rock" it had 
found in the ruins, seemingly as a symbol of friendship. 


Interviews attempting to establish the origin of SCP-2192 have 
proved unsuccessful, as SCP-2192 is either unwilling or unable to 
recount details of its life previous to its discovery in 


Further psychological evaluation of SCP-2192 seems to suggest 
that it is unaware of its harmful effects towards others and in fact 
does not understand what radiation is. Doctors feel that SCP-2192 
should not be made aware of the full implications of its anomalous 
qualities, as SCP-2192's empathetic temperament suggests that 
knowing the truth would cause it severe psychological trauma and 
make containment far more difficult. If SCP-2192 asks any questions 
related to its containment, it is advised that SCP-2192 be led to 
believe it is being held for medical treatment. 


Addendum 2192-01: Crayons are not to be given to SCP-2192. 
SCP-2192's high body temperature immediately melts crayons upon 
contact, causing SCP-2192 considerable emotional distress. 


Addendum 2192-01a: Paper is not to be given to SCP-2192, as it 
represents an unacceptable fire hazard. 


Addendum 2192-02: On / /_ , the cold water sprinkler system in 
SCP-2192's chamber was activated after the temperature inside 
rose suddenly by more than 20°C. Upon entering the chamber, 
personnel discovered SCP-2192 on the floor of the chamber in 
obvious distress. SCP-2192 began crying, complaining of severe 
pain in its legs. A physical examination revealed that several 
fissures had opened in SCP-2192's flesh, bisecting the back of both 
thighs and front of the shins, exposing bone. It was discovered then 
that SCP-2192 had grown 3 cm in height, and the loss of elasticity in 
its flesh caused by its severe burns led to cracks forming in the 
tissue. A heavy sedative was administered and appears effective as 


a short term solution.

SCP-2193: "Monthly Termination" 


Item #: SCP-2193 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: The Artificial Intelligence 
Applications Division (AIAD) is to monitor the Foundation database 
for instances of SCP-2193-1. The instances are to be logged and 
removed, and the holding Site's (if applicable) personnel will require 
amnestic therapy. Provisional Site- , Site-51 and Observation Site- 
are to be exempted from this procedure, in order to facilitate 
observation of the phenomena. Contact with these Sites at any level 
(whether through in-person visits, or simply phone/email 
communication) is restricted, to prevent further contamination of 
Mission-Critical Sites. 


Description: SCP-2193-1 is an infohazardous anomaly affecting the 
documentation for items and entities in the Foundation database. It 
often appears in the object's Special Containment Procedures or 
addenda, and references an operation referred to as the 'Monthly 
Termination’ of Class-D personnel. No evidence for the initial 
adoption or implementation of such a policy exists in any Foundation 
records, as verified by a RAISA investigation into all prior O5/ 
Administrator mandates and SDECotW resolutions. 


SCP-2193-1 is automatically inserted into a random digital SCP slot 
at irregular intervals. The method by which it is generated is 
unknown. 


Individuals who are exposed to SCP-2193-1 are subjected to a 
memetic effect, wherein they fully believe the Monthly Termination of 
Class-D personnel to be a valid Foundation operation. This belief 
can be easily spread through any and all forms of communication 
solely by containing the phrase ‘Monthly Termination’. Uninfected 
personnel that possess doubt or suspicion are able to be overcome 
with simple rhetoric supporting the policy. The infected continue to 


SCP-252: Humboldt Squid 


Item #: SCP-252 
Object Class: Euclid Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-252 is to be contained ina 
150 m8 aquarium, reinforced with high tensile steel plating. Guards 
are to be specially trained in water-borne combat techniques and 
armed with model-B74H harpoon rifles with high-capacity electrical 
discharge shafts. The tank is fitted with 15 remotely-activated depth 
charges, which are to be detonated simultaneously if a containment 
breach is imminent A breeding pair is maintained under the direction 
of marine biologist Dr. . Personnel should not approach the 
containment tank unless they have been previously prepared for the 
anomalous effects of the animals. 


Additional specimens of SCP-252 may exist in the wild. Due to their 
destructive capabilities, capture is deemed a high priority. Given the 
difficulties inherent in the size of specimens, termination is 
authorized if a breach of secrecy is imminent. Current specimens 
are considered sufficient and further acquisitions are not a priority. 
Containment of information regarding encounters will consist of 
Standard Cover Story 53 "Drunken Sailor" and administration of 
amnestics as necessary. 


Description: SCP-252 is a sub-species of Dosidicus gigas. Mature 
specimens are noticeably smaller than average, reaching no more 
than 1 m in length and weighing a maximum of 40 kg. Dissection 
shows the absence of an ink sac and an increased density of 
chromatophores (approx. 20 times the normal adult average). 


Behavior is identical in most ways to mundane specimens, except 
when hunting or threatened. When a member of SCP-252 detects 
prey, they exhibit aggressive behavior and move towards the target 
at maximum speed while rapidly cycling their chromatophores. This 
color shifting has a hypnotic effect on prey animals that make visual 


operate as if SCP-2193 has always been a Foundation-held policy, 
and there is a noted lack of cognitive dissonance when presented 
with conflicting information. 


Aside from the excessive expenditure of Class-D personnel, Sites 
and individuals infected are able to perform their duties 
exceptionally, and without undue complications. The first known 
document to host SCP-2193-1, SCP- ; has been removed from the 
database, and is undergoing review from the Foundation 
Counterconceptual Division. 


No internal documentation or instructions exist that detail the actual 
termination process. Regardless, infected individuals and 
departments operate and ‘terminate’ Class-D personnel in a uniform 
manner. Remote observation of Sites and_, as well as security 
footage from affected Sites prior to SCP-2193's discovery have 
revealed the ‘Monthly Termination’ process: 


¢ On the final day of the month, testing is suspended on any 
SCPs which would involve Class-D testing. 


¢ Approximately one third of the Site's resident Class-D 
population will stand facing their cell doors.2 


A sufficient detachment of security personnel will arrive to 
escort the Class-D in a single-file line throughout the facility. 
Though the guards will be armed, no restraints are placed on 
the Class-D. 


¢ Researchers, Level 0, and other personnel not directly 
involved in the process will avoid the path the officers/Class-D 
follow. This is perfectly choreographed, despite the lack of 
planning/forewarning. 


The Class-D will be led to a point outside the facility, and 
taken to an area that is not covered by surveillance systems. 


¢ Sub-dermal tracking implants on the Class-D cease function. 


The security guards return to the facility. The officers will claim 
to have terminated the Class-D via their sidearms.4 


Recovery: SCP-2193 was discovered on 10/31/1994, by AIAD 
PROJECT: CORINTHIAN (aka: "Glacon"), after its initial upload to 
Site-17. The Site was undergoing an SCP-2193 event, which the Al 
observed through the surveillance system. It attempted to contact 
then-Site Director J. O , as the Al interpreted the procedure as 
illogical, and without precedent. Its communications were 
disregarded. 


The Al correctly deduced the presence of a memetic effect. It began 
the process of removing SCP-2193-1 throughout the Site's backup 
digital files, as well as every entry of the main database accessible 
by Site-17 personnel. It completed the process before the D-Class 
had been removed from their cells, and disabled the doors' 
electronic locks. 


Dietrich M. Lurk was contacted by Site-17 Security Chief, who 
requested his assistance in 

disabling the Al's system override. D. Lurk investigated the situation, 
and finding the Al to be acting in accordance Standard Principles, 
instead alerted MTF Eta-10 ("See No Evil"). 


Site-17, along with twelve other Sites had to be quarantined, with 
their corresponding records wiped of SCP-2193-1. Provisional Site- 
and Observation Site- were exempted for testing purposes. 


Addendum: Incident Log 2193/ 


Foreword: On 01/31/1999 at 01:30, Provisional Site- 
underwent an SCP-2193 event. During the transport of 
Class-D, behavioral changes were noted in both the 
detainees and the guards. The Class-D repeatedly 
expressed concern over their fate, while the guards 
apologized profusely. The following is an excerpt taken 
from Agent Ysson's head cam as the event reached its 
conclusion 


01:59:23: The group approaches a rounded clearing in 
the woods 2km South of the Site. 


02:01:46: The Class-D continue directly towards the 
clearing's center. The guards branch out, and form a ring 


around the group. This formation is congruous with 
previous observations. 


02:04:32: The guards around the Class-D's perimeter 
turn away from the group and obscure their head cams, 
excluding Agent Ysson. 


Agent Ysson: //ndecipherable due to sudden 
interference, presumably 'Not']'...again" 


02:05:05: D-1920 lifts vertically, and hovers in place .3 
meters off the ground. 


02:05:09: D-1920 continues upward, at an estimated 
speed of 35,000 km/hr. D-1823 begins to hover. 


02:05:12-02:06:58: This process repeats for each 
present Class-D.° They are taken individually. 


02:06:58: Agent Ysson watches the final Class-D depart, 
and fixates on the full moon. 


02:07:33: The moon appears to 'blink'.6 


02:07:35: Agent Ysson begins to run. In the background, 
the other guards can be seen remaining in their position. 


02:07:39: Agent Ysson is lifted in a manner similar to the 
Class-D. 


02:07:41: Camera feed cuts as the Agent reaches the 
stratosphere. 


Afterword: Under questioning, the guards asserted that 
Agent Ysson had been attacked by the Class-D, and that 
he had been killed in the resulting altercation. 


Footnotes 

1. Personnel are to be reminded that there is noSite-5. 

2. Affected Class-D are fully compliant and cooperative throughout 
the entirety of the process. It should be noted that the affected 
Class-D will still verbally assault and threaten nearby personnel. 


3. Hidden cameras sewn into the guards' uniforms have been 
intentionally obscured, including in cases where they have no 
foreknowledge its existence. 

4. To date, the officer's firearms have been returned without a single 
discharged round. 

5. Neither Provisional Site- , nor Orbital Assets were able to view 
this phenomena, despite the fact that the area was covered by the 
surveillance systems of each. 

6. Personnel stationed atLunar Area-32reported no corresponding 
abnormalities at this time.

SCP-2194: Filth 


Item #: SCP-2194 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Embedded Foundation 
personnel in health inspection and waste management departments 
worldwide currently monitor all major urban centers for signs of an 
SCP-2194 outbreak, while spearheading intensive cleanup and 
recycling campaigns within these areas. In the event of a confirmed 
outbreak, Mobile Task Force Gamma-9 ("Cleaners") will be 
deployed to quarantine the affected area. All instances of 
SCP-2194-1 are to be isolated within the quarantine zone and 
neutralized by means of aerosolised VX nerve agent, followed by 
incineration of remains. All surfaces and remains contaminated by 
SCP-2194 are to be sealed in expanding polyurethane foam. A new 
layer of foam sealant is to be applied every seven (7) days, or at the 
first sign of SCP-2194 breaching the seal. 


Affected areas are to remain under indefinite quarantine, maintained 
by amnestic and cover-up procedures where appropriate. Should an 
SCP-2194 outbreak affect a great enough portion of an urban area 
so as to make isolation and cover-up unfeasible, the area will be 
permanently evacuated under pretense of a major chemical leak or 
imminent nuclear meltdown (if applicable). 


Under no circumstances are personnel to attempt to "clean" 
SCP-2194 from any surface or organism. 


Description: SCP-2194 is a phenomenon affecting densely- 
populated urban areas, which appears to manifest in the presence 
of persistently excessive quantities of refuse and waste. 


SCP-2194 manifests as an amorphous and partially mobile mass of 
common refuse, dead micro-organisms, fecal matter, live bacteria, 
assorted particulate matter and other forms of biological and non- 


biological waste. It is currently unknown whether the initial mass of 
SCP-2194 originates as non-anomalous waste that assumes 
anomalous properties, or forms spontaneously through other means. 
SCP-2194 propagates via direct physical contact, gradually 
spreading to adjacent surfaces as a brownish film of waste and 
particulate. Refuse, waste and dead biological matter becomes 
incorporated into the mass of SCP-2194 on contact. 


Should material affected by SCP-2194 come into direct contact with 
any surface, including the skin of a live organism, it will leave a 
"stain" at the point of contact. This stain spreads at a relatively low 
rate (< 1cm squared per hour) - however, any attempt to abrade, 
dissolve, corrode or otherwise remove this stain results in the 
formation of an amount of material roughly double the amount 
removed. Avian and mammalian subjects exposed to SCP-2194 are 
invariably distressed by the appearance and growth of the stain, 
becoming increasingly frantic in their attempts to remove it. This 
behaviour causes the rapid spread of SCP-2194 material across the 
body surface. 


Once SCP-2194 material covers at least 33% of a live organism's 
body surface, the organism becomes an instance of SCP-2194-1. 
Instances of SCP-2194-1 are capable of spreading SCP-2194 via 
direct physical contact and display extremely unhygienic behaviour, 
characterized by an obsession with both SCP-2194 and other, non- 
anomalous forms of waste. These behaviours include, but are not 
limited to: covering self in waste; covering nearby objects and 
surfaces in waste; collecting large quantities of refuse and dead 
material to add to the main mass of SCP-2194; immersing self in 
SCP-2194; ingesting SCP-2194; and attempting to [DATA 
EXPUNGED] causing SCP-2194 to spread to other individuals. 


Instances of SCP-2194-1 typically expire within 5-7 days of 
exposure, often due to suffocation caused by the formation of an 
overwhelming amount of waste material in the lungs and air 
passages. Larger organisms may remain alive as long as 18 days 
before expiring from the effects of blood poisoning and necrotizing 
fasciitis’. 


SCP-2194 can be partially removed by sustained exposure to an 
open flame; however, its regenerative properties in response to 


attempted removal allow a minimum of 10% of the material to 
remain on a surface even after several minutes of continuous 
burning. Incineration is 100% effective in the neutralization of 
instances of SCP-2194-1. 


The most effective containment method currently Known is the use 
of an expanding foam sealant to cover all surfaces affected by 
SCP-2194. Provided that the sealant is applied thoroughly and 
within a space of 2 hours, SCP-2194 is capable of spreading to the 
exterior surface of the seal in no less than 200 hours (roughly 8 
days). Timeous reapplication prevents this occurrence.

this is Apollo Lead, how copy? Over. 


Apollo Home: Loud and clear Apollo Lead. 
Give us your sitrep, over. 


Agent Ahara (AL): We're sweeping the area 
now. Streets are empty. There's some sort of 
brown substance coating the doors and interior 
of multiple vehicles, trailing out into the alleys; 
almost looks like its spreading over the 
asphalt. No sign of activity on — scratch that

Agent Hunt: [grunt] The smell! What in God's 
name is that shit they're rolling in? 


Agent Ahara (AL): Apollo Home, we have 
eight possibles. Five of them are rolling around 
in this... mass. It's filling the alley, and 
creeping up the walls too. Three of them are 
carrying stuff from down the street and 
dumping it into the thing; looks like garbage, 
mostly. Over. 


Apollo Home: Roger Lead, approach with 
caution and attempt communication; over.

Agent Banderker: (Hindi translation) <Hey, 
this is the police! Hands up, all of you!> 
[pause] No good, sir. 


Agent Ahara (AL): Individuals are not

Home. Firing a warning shot, over. [a single 
gunshot is heard; several seconds elapse] 
Well, that got their attention. 


Agent Banderker: Look at their faces. That 


infection is eating away at their skin, under all

Agent Daniels: Why are they just staring at 
us? Are those rats crawling around in there 
with them? 


Agent Ahara (AL): Keep it together, Daniels. 
Banderker, try speaking to them now. Tell 
them we need them to cooperate. 


Agent Banderker: <Listen, we don't want to 
hurt any of you. All we require is your complete 
cooperation from this point on. Nod if you 
understand. [pause] Good, now we're getting 
somewhere.> 


They're listening. What now, sir? 


Agent Ahara (AL): Tell them to get up with 
their hands in the air and form a line. 


Agent Banderker: <Okay, all of you put your 
hands in the air. You two back there, that 
means you too - drop what you're carrying. 
Good. Now all of you on the ground, get up 
slowly. Yes, just like that. Now step out of that

Apollo Home: Solid copy, Apollo Lead. 
Standby for the arrival of the containment 
team; ETA in five mikes. Apollo Home out.

be here in five guys, sit tight. Try to keep them 
occupied, Banderker. 


Agent Banderker: Will do, sir.

contact, causing them to cease all defensive behavior and attempts 
to flee until grappled. 


When threatened by a predator or otherwise agitated, SCP-252 
rapidly metamorphs into an unidentified aquatic life form of extreme 
size with an indeterminate physiology and extremely destructive 
demeanor. Physical attributes in this state are in a constant state of 
change. Size fluctuates between 50 and 75 meters in length with no 
fewer than 50 and occasionally as many as 200 appendages of 
various natures. Appendages shift constantly between suckered 
tentacles averaging 5 m in length, insectoid limbs terminating in 
barbed pincers, and humanoid arms and legs ending in sharpened 
talons. Details and positions of appendages on the body also vary 
randomly, with the only constant being a cluster of tentacles around 
the head obscuring the mouth area. It is not currently known how 
this rapid growth is achieved. Due to the potential for a containment 
breach no research on the matter is currently authorized. All animal 
life excluding other SCP-252 and mundane squid species will 
attempt to escape the vicinity by the most direct route possible. This 
fear response can cause the targets to harm themselves as they flee 
into hazardous conditions or ram repeatedly into container walls. 
Roughly 95% of subjects encountering an enraged SCP-252 
develop a phobia of cephalopods. It is not known if this is an 
additional anomalous effect or a normal behavioral reaction to 
traumatic experiences. 


Upon review of security footage during containment, Dr. has 
determined that SCP-252s "metamorphosis" is in fact an advanced 
hallucination induced by the shifting pattern of chromatophores. 
These hallucinations cause the victim to see SCP-252 as a titanic 
sea creature with an excessively large number of tentacles. Specific 
details vary greatly from subject to subject, but the hallucinatory 
creature consistently presents as a greatly exaggerated cephalopod 
with tentacles clustered around the mouth area, additional 
appendages with talons or pincers, and the general impression that 
all features are fluid and randomly shifting. Subjects removed from 
visual contact with SCP-252 will remain convinced that their 
hallucinations were a real "sea monster" and will attempt to 
rationalize any logical contradictions inherent in their delusion, such 
as a 100 m monster swimming in a 10 m enclosed tank. This

Open Post-Operational Interview 


Date: / /198 
Interviewer: Dr. Glen 
Interviewed: Agent Ahara 


<begin transcript> 


Dr. Glen: Good morning, Agent Ahara. How 
are you feeling? 


Agent Ahara: |'m fine, Glen. | don't need a 
psych evaluation. 


Dr. Glen: | understand. Could you describe to 
me the events that transpired yesterday in 
Delhi? More specifically, what happened to 
Agent Banderker. 


Agent Ahara: Well, we rounded up eight 
affected individuals in the alleyway; most of 
them were crawling around in this mass of 
god-knows-what, covered in the same brown 
stuff we saw on the walls and the streets 
before. Like pigs in the mud on a hot day. We 
managed to get their attention, eventually. 
Banderker spoke Hindi, so he was able to talk 
to them and get them to cooperate. After that, 
we were just waiting for the containment team 
to arrive. 


Dr. Glen: And then? 


Agent Ahara: Then he said something they 
didn't like. Told them we'd take them away, get 
that foul shit off them, clean them up. 
Something else as well. Don't remember. First 
they started crying and wailing like kids, 


throwing themselves back into the mass; 
desperate, like they were trying to bury 
themselves in it so we couldn't take them 
away. | told Banderker to make them get back 
in line, threaten them if necessary. So he 
yelled and screamed blue murder at them, and 
they just went on wailing... until they heard 
something he said right at the end there. They 
all went quiet, just staring at him. Then they 
started making this chittering noise with their 
teeth, all together. Christ, it got loud. That's 
when | realised it wasn't just the people 
making the noise. That's when the swarm 
came down on us. 


Dr. Glen: The swarm? 


Agent Ahara: Rats, flies, cockroaches... 
every kind of vermin you can think of. They 
erupted out of the mass, covered in that brown 
shit, and kept on coming like a river. The 
vermin and the people together went rushing 
for Banderker; | swear they were moving like 
one big angry animal. Three of those guys got 
to him before we could even react - two of 
them held Banderker down while the other one 
climbed on top of him and started... retching. 
More brown shit came pouring out of the guy's 
mouth, all over Banderker's face. He was 
screaming for help the whole time. Right 'til his 
mouth filled up... 


Dr. Glen: What did you do then? 


Agent Ahara: We gave the fuckers every 
bullet we had. Got all eight of the human 
targets, maybe a few dozen rats too. The 
containment team got there just in time; I'm not 
sure how they knew fire would do the trick, but 
it did. All the vermin, human or otherwise, 
burned to a crisp. Banderker too. 


Glen, the way that stuff was spreading, the 
way those things came for us... you're going to 
classify this thing Keter, right? 


Dr. Glen: Classification is currently pending, 
but | think it would be safe to say yes. 


Agent Ahara: Good... good... 


Do you think there's more of that stuff, doctor? 
Elsewhere, | mean? 


Dr. Glen: | don't know. | really don't.

SCP-2195: Sons of the Nation 


Item #: SCP-2195 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Biological samples that are part 
of SCP-2195 are to be either preserved in formaldehyde solution, 
dried and stored in a vacuum container, or frozen, according to the 
method they were preserved with at the moment of discovery. 
Biological samples preserved through plastic infusion or stored ina 
solid synthetic resin block, as well as non-biological samples do not 
require any special containment procedures. Three low-level 
security vaults in Site 7 are designated for SCP-2195 storage. 


Non-deactivated late-term SCP-2195-1 samples are to be handled 
by trained personnel as per standard Foundation guidelines for 
handling bulk primary explosive substances. 

Research has shown that explosive materials contained within 
SCP-2195-1 degrade over time, therefore they are granted a 
storage period of 20 years and are to be incinerated afterwards. 


Documents acquired as part of SCP-2195 are to be digitalized and 
uploaded into the SCP-2195 documentation database; original 
documents are archived. 


Access to SCP-2195 documentation is restricted to personnel of 
2-2195 clearance or higher. 

Access to SCP-2195 samples is restricted to personnel of 3-2195 
clearance or higher. 

Experiments that involve reproduction of SCP-2195-1 require Ethic 
Committee approval. 


Description: SCP-2195 is a collective designation for documental 
and material evidence, specifically collected by unidentified 
individuals, that is related to a large-scale government project which 
involves mass reproduction of SCP-2195-1 for military purposes, 


specifically targeting the drawbacks of said project. SCP-2195 
includes biological samples preserved through various methods, 
demonstration and test articles, prototypes, and a variety of 
documents. The sum of documentation recovered was enough to fill 
19 (nineteen) shipping containers at the moment of discovery. 


Analysis of said evidence has shown that the project took place in 
political, historical and socio-cultural circumstances inconsistent with 
known reality, which suggests extradimensional or otherwise 
anomalous origin. 


Although no fully formed SCP-2195-1 were discovered within 
SCP-2195, recovered materials provide enough information to give 
a complete description of their appearance. SCP-2195-1 are living, 
genetically altered human infants of indeterminate sex (SCP-2195-1 
allosomes are identical, and contain genetic information from both X 
and Y chromosomes). 


SCP-2195-1 body structure is radically different from that of normal 
infants; SCP-2195-1 are presumed to have the shape of an ellipsoid 
roughly 60 cm long and 50 cm in circumference, and mass of 9 to 
9.5 kg. The physiology of tissues covering the front and back ends is 
identical to that of somewhat calloused human skin; the rest of the 
skin is sohacelated, metamorphised, parchment-like and fused with 
the underlying bone (no muscles and/or fat tissues are present). 
Ribs grow away from the whole length of the spine (55 to 56 pairs of 
ribs in total); the ribs are flattened and fused along their whole 
length, which creates a solid bone capsule with the pelvis and the 
skull fused immovably to its respective ends. 


The skull is small, streamlined forwards and has radial symmetry. 
The only orifice facing outside is a large eye socket on the front end 
of the body, which contains an anatomically normal eye with a 
transparent protective membrane. No auditory apparatus is present, 
but the inner ear vestibular system is extremely developed. 


The pelvic section also has radial symmetry and serves as an 
attachment point for four identical limbs facing upwards and 
downwards diagonally. These limbs are around 10 centimeters long 
and contain a single pointed bone, which is connected to the pelvis 
by a ball-and-socket joint, resembling the human hip joint or 


shoulder joint. Their freedom of movement is severely restricted by 
the joint's position within the body, as well as rigid tendons; 
nonetheless they are fitted with powerful muscles intended to turn 
the limb around its axis. An orifice with a sphincter is located 
between these limbs, which leads to a small dead-end cavity with 
richly innervated walls. 


Inner organs are mostly either rudimentary or missing, which makes 
SCP-2195-1's life expectancy to be 10 to 15 minutes, unless 
sustained by an external life support system. Apart from the 
aforementioned sensory organs, central nervous system and 
muscles, only the circulatory system is developed, which includes 
major vessels, the heart and an organ that resembles a radically 
altered spleen; said organ has thick, myoglobin-rich walls that can 
accumulate a certain amount of oxygen and release it into the blood, 
and filters carbon dioxide out of the blood. There is also a small 
cluster of electrocytes, which is connected via nerves to the cardiac 
conducting system. 


Aside from the front and back ends, the majority of SCP-2195-1 
body is occupied by tissue that structurally resembles liver tissue 
with extreme adipose degeneration (vacuoles amount for 97% of its 
volume and even more than that in mass); instead of fat, the 
vacuoles contain a complex organic substance that has pronounced 
explosive properties. 


Its exact parameters cannot be determined due to the irregularity of 
the remaining biological components’ amount within tissues, as well 
as due to the the substance's own nature (Supposedly, a mix of 
several compounds with similar properties in varying proportions). 
Approximate properties can be described as such: 


* Density: 1.8-1.9 g/cm 

* Specific energy of explosion: 9.2 MJ/kg 

* Explosive strength (measured by Trauzl test): 670 cm3 

¢ Brisance (measured by Kast test): 8 mm 

Detonation velocity: 8300-8500 m/s 

Sensitivity: 70% explosions with a 10 kg weight dropped from 
a height of 25 cm. 

Amount of tissue in an instance of SCP-2195-1: 7.5 to 8 kg, 
explosive yield up to 25 kg of TNT equivalent. 


According to the documents, SCP-2195-1 have a gestation time of 
40 weeks which is normal to humans. They were also naturally born, 
but subject to the following operative treatment immediately after 
birth: 


¢ catheterization of 2 major vessels for connection to life 
support system; 

installation of a metal clamp along the spine which acts as a 
band for a suspension mount; 

* mounting of reinforced plastic fins on the limbs; 

* fitting the front end with a transparent nose cone. 


After that SCP-2195-1 were subject to three-week training in a wind 
tunnel fitted with elastic suspension systems and an image projector 
to display various battlefield scenes as seen from above. For that 
purpose, a device for electrical nerve stimulation was inserted into 
the orifice at the rear end of SCP-2195-1; the higher the achieved 
targeting precision, the greater the stimulation. The SCP-2195-1 
specimens were thus trained to develop visual recognition skills for 
various targets, and trained to control their flight using limb-mounted 
aerofoil planes. During the training, the electric organ, which 
functions as a detonator, was to be temporarily disabled by means 
of paralytic agent injections. 


Following the training SCP-2195-1 was to be tattooed with an 
emblem of the target it was trained for, put into a state of suspended 
animation and packed into a shipping container for later use as a 
homing high explosive bomb. 


The documentation found as part of SCP-2195 is mostly typewritten 
in a language having minute differences with modern French, 
although the origin of names and toponyms mentioned within seems 
to be more English. No similarities with modern geography were 
found. The name of the state is never mentioned; instead, «Notre 
Patrie» («Our Fatherland») is listed even in official office, position 
and department names, which is often abbreviated to NP (e.g., 
«Président de NP»). 


According to the information contained within, the state waged a 
long and slaughterous offensive war on another state's territory, 
which was not popular among its populace. State propaganda 


rationalization and the lingering phobia is thought to be a form of 
post-hypnotic suggestion. 


Subjects viewing video of agitated SCP-252 who have never been 
exposed directly experience a much less severe fear reaction and 
are able to perceive the squid despite the hallucinations. Subjects 
describe the illusory monster as "fake-looking" and "nonsensical" but 
still find it moderately frightening. After second-hand exposure, 
subjects develop a partial immunity to the full effects of direct 
exposure. Repeated direct contact after "inoculation" by video 
further lessens the effects. Acclimatized subjects can develop a 
complete immunity to the fear effect and experience only the 
vaguest awareness of the hallucinations. 


Addendum: SCP-252 came to Foundation attention after numerous 
reports of "sea monster" sightings by commercial fishermen off the 
coastof  . Agent secured a specimen at greater than usual 
personal danger. Commendation for performance above and 
beyond the call of duty recommended. Agent allowed himself to 
be exposed to SCP-252's effects during first contact. Initial 
containment procedures were based on his reports of the 
specimen's size and physical capabilities, resulting in an excessive 
expenditure of resources. Disciplinary action recommended, 
pending oversight review. 


« SCP-251 | SCP-252 | SCP-253 » 


efforts were not sufficient to subdue the growing pacifist movement 
which was especially strong among the soldiers' mothers. The arms 
industry was also on the verge of decline. The documented project 
was proposed in order to solve both problems, and was meant to 
implant embryos of SCP-2195-1 into all fertile women under the 
guise of various mandatory medical procedures. The surge of "living 
bombs" born afterwards was announced as a natural event, a 
manifestation of mass consciousness, the will of the people, and an 
evidence of charitability! of the military intervention taking place. 
Another important factor was the mother's blood relationship which 
required a mother to unconditionally support her child's "voluntary 
effort", which in turn demanded her to abolish any pacifist beliefs 
and/or made her an indirect participant of the bombings, with 
personal responsibility forced on her later on. 


Note: this shows drastic differences of ethical norms between our 
society and the one described. It is hard to imagine that measures 
like these would have any effect in any state we know, yet 
SCP-2195 documents describe them as extremely effective yet 
highly immoral, although only in the sense that both the higher will 
and the blood relationship were falsified, therefore the highest 
values were fraudulently exploited. 


However, various events that took place during the project's 
development, should they have become public, would have brought 
sharp discredit on it, due to both their negative nature, and the fact 
that the nature and sheer amount of these events contradicted the 
idea of higher force's mercy and justice, therefore making the 
“higher will" explanation unviable. 


First and foremost, SCP-2195 contains evidence of numerous 
complicating disorders during pregnancy and birth: 


¢ Various fetal pathologies and deformities, miscarriages, cases 
of stillbirth. Preserved samples included. 

¢« Numerous cases of ectopic pregnancy. Several postmortem 
specimens and a variety of medical records are available. 
Vast majority of these cases resulted in the mother's death or 
loss of fertility, which was grounds for euthanasia. 

¢ Birth trauma and cases of mothers' deaths at birth due to the 
fetus’ size and rigid structure. Medical records available. 


* Acute, often life-threatening toxicoses caused by metabolic 
byproducts during explosive substance formation inside fetus. 
Several in-depth research papers, histological samples and 
body fluid samples available. 

« Anemia, dangerous exhaustion of the mother's body due to 
the fetus’ accelerated growth. An essay of observations 
concerning this issue is available. 

¢ Multifetal gestation which almost inevitably caused 
pathologies. Cases of SCP-2195-1 conjoined twins. A range 
of medical records available. The majority of such 
pregnancies were aborted due to critical situations; preserved 
fetus samples available. 

¢ Hyperplasia, fermental chorionic hyperactivity, or detrimental 
chorion deformation leading to formation of multiple large 
synechiated folds. Hyperactivity, abnormal growth or improper 
position of the resulting placenta caused destruction of uterine 
walls, mouth of the womb, or fallopian tubes. Preserved 
samples, extensive studies and medical records available. 
Numerous descriptions of deaths due to internal bleeding and 
cases of euthanasia due to loss of fertility after operative 
treatment are also available. 

* Spontaneous fetus detonations on latter stages of pregnancy. 
Investigation reports, autopsy protocols, and an archive of 
media reports are available. Collateral damage and fatalities 
are described, with the cause presented by propaganda as 
"immoral conduct that is disgracing motherhood". No details of 
said conduct were provided, although the manner this 
description is used in suggests that it is a common 
euphemism for some specific deeds. 


Another class of materials regards the project's social 
consequences. It is composed mostly of the following media 
archives: 


¢ Cases of pregnant women committing suicide. The reason 
was most often declared as strong pacifistic beliefs. A shot to 
the belly was specifically popular, which often caused 
SCP-2195-1 to detonate. A series of suicides was committed 
in public for demonstration purposes, some cases were 
essentially acts of terrorism in popular places, which led to 


fatalities. One such act was committed in a maternity welfare 
center which caused a chain reaction and large-scale 
destruction. 

Several attempts of fertile women to dodge medical 
supervision, have an independent birth and nurture 
SCP-2195-1 on their own, always futile due to the latter's 
inviability. 

An incident with a high-ranking government official, who was 
also part of the project, attempting to make compromising 
information related to the project public during a speech. The 
speech was interrupted, and the official in question arrested, 
declared incurably mentally ill, and subsequently euthanized. 


Note: it should be noted that no cases of an illegal abortion were 
described. 


A third class of documents is composed of scientific and design 
documents related to the project's development and implementation. 
These materials’ level of classification is related to three basic facts: 
the need to conceal SCP-2195-1 true origins in order to support the 
propaganda, contradiction with conventional ethics and the current 
law that makes cloning, genetic engineering and similar activities 
illegal, as well as to the wide use of SCP-2195-1 samples for tests 
and experiments. A large part of these documents is encrypted, their 
contents are currently unknown. The materials available for study 
include: 


¢ Prototypes and early samples of SCP-2195-1. 

¢ Presentation materials prepared for acceptance inspection 
hearings, instructional materials and demonstration samples, 
visual aids, and mock-ups. Both artificial products and real 
SCP-2195-1 samples preserved through plastic infusion or 
stored in synthetic resin blocks. 

Modified SCP-2195-1 prototypes and related documents for a 
project aiming to make homing artillery shells by converting 
SCP-2195-1. The attempt failed, no instances of SCP-2195-1 
that could withstand the acceleration at the moment of the 
shot could be created. 

Prototypes and documentation for another attempt to modify 
SCP-2195-1. They were supposed to be fitted with a rocket 


engine and used as homing missiles. Tests were successful, 
but the modification was declared unpractical for economic 
reasons, as cheap SCP-2195-1 were to be fitted with factory- 
made components. 

* Government decree to recall and collect or destroy all 
compromising evidence. The document mentions some event 
that aggravated the situation around the project and 
compromised its secrecy; this could have been the 
aforementioned public speech. It is assumed that the whole of 
SCP-2195 was composed as fulfillment of said decree. 

¢ An index of all collected materials. Only codes are listed 
instead of titles for encrypted documents, along with a 
reference to the document with these codes' breakdown (also 
encrypted). 


During my time in the Foundation's employ I've seen worse, but I'd 
still like to believe that there never was a place where things like 
these are made on a national scale, and this object is only a 
miscarriage of some alternate history branch or a material 
manifestation of some perverted fantasy. | hope to never know the 
true state of things. — Dr. 


Addendum 1: Discovery 


SCP-2195, contained in 19 standard shipping containers was initially 
discovered on . .2009 by Federal Security Service of Russia 
operatives during an inspection as part of checking investigative 
information on weapons smuggling. The Foundation took over and 
investigated the cargo's origins. Its movements could be traced up 
to 1995; it was found that since 1995 the cargo was constantly 
moving across Russia by railroad and sea in a loop route. The 
transfers were paid for from an account established by an 
unidentified person in 1993 or earlier; no further information could be 
gathered due to loss of related documents. 


Investigations about the cargo escaping any inspections or 
searches, save for weight checks, is underway. According to weight 
checks information, the cargo remained untampered during the 
whole period; undamaged seals on container doors confirm that. 
This still does not explain how the cryonic tanks for storing biological 
samples were discovered 60% or more full despite requiring a 


coolant refill once every 6 months. 


Several hypotheses were proposed to explain this fact and the 
object's origin as a whole, but at the moment, there is a lack of 
evidence for any of them. 


Addendum 2 
+ Classified - level 4 access only 


After several attempts Dr. 's research group 
successfully recreated a specimen of SCP-2195-1 using 
genetic material from SCP-2195 and D-39207 as a 
surrogate mother. Despite several complications and the 
need for a cesarean section delivery, the specimen was 
fully formed and quite healthy, save for some minute 
anatomical deviations. 


A series of tests and experiments was conducted, 
culminating in a successful bombing of a target in the 
firing range, which completely confirmed the information 
contained within SCP-2195. 


However, the test committee pointed out the immense 
financial and labor costs to reproduce the sample and its 
life support system, as well as the sample being 
generally effective but having no outstanding features, 
SCP-2195-1 was declared having no practical value to 
the Foundation.

SCP-2196: The Deep Mote 


Item #: SCP-2196 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2196 is to be kept in 
secure storage locker 37 at Site-66. In order to prevent accidental 
exposure to its properties, the object must be locked in an opaque 
tamper-proof case, with the combination available only to level 4 
staff members. 


Outside of testing, SCP-2196-b must not be viewed by any staff 
member. Any personnel suspected of exposure to SCP-2196-b are 
to be suspended of all authority until administered a class B 
amnestic. In addition, any personnel requesting the destruction of 
SCP-2196, attempting to reclassify SCP-2196, or in any way modify 
its containment procedures are to be treated as if under the effects 
of exposure. 


Description: SCP-2196-a is a disk approximately 18 cm across and 
3 mm thick. The front side of SCP-2196-a is smooth to the limits of 
detection, while the back is lightly etched with a fractal pattern which 
shrinks below the measurable level near the center. SCP-2196-a 
absorbs all radiation directed at it, giving ita completely black 
appearance with the exception of SCP-2196-b. SCP-2196-b is a 
small light point on the front surface of SCP-2196-a, which moves 
toward the edge as viewing angle decreases, following what 
appears to be a logarithmic deceleration toward the edge of 
SCP-2196-a as it is viewed from lower angles to SCP-2196-a's 
surface. 


Subjects observing SCP-2196-b begin to experience a strong 
curiosity about its nature, along with a minor compulsion to magnify 
it, typically requesting telescopes or similar devices in order to 
clearly see SCP-2196-b. As magnification is increased and 
perceived arc-diameter expands, subjects show signs of dread, 


apprehension, and paranoia, along with an increased compulsion to 
magnify the object, typically reporting that they are unwilling or 
unable to look away. At this point, subjects are still able to cease the 
process under coersion. As subjects begin to approach a perceived 
diameter of one arc minute, they become mute and unresponsive, 
only continuing magnification. Brain scans of subjects at this stage 
show intense activity in the amygdala and occipital lobe. As subjects 
zoom to an estimated angular diameter of 30 arc-minutes, (including 
digital magnification and telescopic photographs) they seize and 
lose consciousness, waking after a short period with no memory of 
what SCP-2196-b looks like. 


Recovery Log: 
SCP-2196 was delivered anonymously to the home of researcher 
on 3/24/19 , accompanied by the following note: 


Oh jailors to your chosen task, ere distance passes by, 
We pray that you find true success, where we could only 


try. 


Due to researcher 's previous encounter with the GOI known as 
The Serpent's Hand, it is believed she was used as a contact point 
for the Foundation. Further investigation is ongoing. 


Addendum 2196-1 A faint radiation pulse was detected from 
SCP-2196-b years after initial containment, of a similar frequency 
to that of a high intensity cutting laser used on the object during 
initial durability tests. 


Addendum 2196-2 The weak coloration of SCP-2196-b, initially 
slightly red, has shifted toward blue during containment.

SCP-2197: Shop Class 


Item #: SCP-2197 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Because neither SCP-2197 nor 
the lot on which it is built are recorded on any official documents, the 
Foundation has been able to effectively assume legal ownership of 
SCP-2197 by purchasing the buildings on either side of it, the lots of 
which legally encompass SCP-2197’s location. A small contingent of 
Foundation personnel have been permanently assigned to manage 
these properties (a small filling station with automotive repair shop, 
and a five-unit motor lodge). 


Civilian motorists lured into the proximity of SCP-2197 are to be 
intercepted by these personnel and given whatever assistance they 
require in order to leave the area. Once a week, a D-class personnel 
wearing a remote surveillance kit is to enter SCP-2197, engage in 
conversation with SCP-2197-1, and make a purchase. 


Due to local residents’ length of exposure to SCP-2197, and their 
habitual reticence regarding it, mass administration of amnestics has 
been ruled out (see Ethics Committee Report 2197-901). As 
residents have observed Foundation personnel steering visitors 
away from SCP-2197, they have become increasingly accepting and 
even friendly toward the members of the permanent contingent. 
These social relationships are to be used in conjunction with 
monitoring of mail and electronic communications, in order to 
identify and isolate individuals who pose an unacceptable risk to 
containment. 


Description: SCP-2197 is a one-story structure located in __, 
Maine, an unincorporated township between U.S. Route 1 and the 
Atlantic coast. The words “Anziano’s Curio Shoppe” are etched in 
stylized lettering on a large storefront window displaying what 
appear to be various second-hand goods. 


Individuals traveling by motor vehicle in or near experience a 
greater than expected rate of mechanical difficulties, GPS 
malfunctions, flat tires, unexpectedly low fuel, and loss of cellular 
reception. Affected motorists frequently seek assistance in _, and 
while delayed they often enter SCP-2197, due to its location 
between the township’s only mechanic and its only lodgings. 
Residents of and the surrounding area do not appear to 
experience these travel-related difficulties, and will sometimes 
obliquely warn those affected away from SCP-2197.! 


Those entering SCP-2197 are greeted by a humanoid entity 
resembling a stooped, elderly man in a leather apron, designated 
SCP-2197-1. The entity will introduce itself as “Mr. Anziano,” engage 
in small talk, and encourage the visitor to browse. If an individual 
expresses interest in an item, SCP-2197-1 will speak highly of the 
effort involved in its manufacture and the good character of its 
maker, often remarking that “he tried his best.” 


Most items purchased from the shop display anomalous properties.@ 
Somewhere on each item (typically the back, underside, or interior) 
is a single small glyph, written in a hemoglobin-like substance, the 
design of which differs from item to item. Foundation linguists have 
concluded that the glyphs are backward renderings of the first, 
second, third, fourth, and sixth letters of the Aramaic alphabet. 
Some glyphs are appended with a plus or minus sign. 


The permanent contingent in has compiled a representative 
sample of items purchased by D-class personnel from SCP-2197 
(see Document 2197-101).

SCP-2197-5 

Description: A green Western Electric Model 
2500 landline telephone, which rings from 1 to 
6 times a month, regardless of whether it is 
connected to an active phone jack. If an 
individual picks up the receiver, a staticky 
voice resembling that of a young girl will 
whisper “seven days” and the call will 
disconnect. Exactly seven days later, whatever 


phone happens to be closest to the subject will 
ring. If the subject answers, an identical voice 
will whisper, “it’s been seven days” and the call 
will disconnect. No further effects have been 
noted. 

Glyph: Gamal-minus 


SCP-2197-10 

Description: An irregularly-shaped, concave 
object, with several notches in its outer rim, 
apparently made of clay containing flecks of 
ash. When any individual with a history of 
tobacco use, who has not consumed any form 
of tobacco since the last full moon, comes 
within approximately 6 m of the item, a lit 
cigarette emerges from the item and slides into 
one of the notches, with the filter side pointed 
toward the individual. The cigarettes are 
reported to possess an intensely unpleasant 
smell and taste. Approximately 65% of test 
subjects who smoked the cigarette required 
hospitalization for sulfur dioxide poisoning. In 
all such subjects, the traumatic experience 
caused an extreme aversion to subsequent 
tobacco use. 

Glyph: Gamal-minus 


SCP-2197-13 

Description: A poorly-constructed birdhouse 
with no Known anomalous properties.

SCP-2197-16 

Description: A small antique desk lamp 
operated by a toggle switch at its base, with 
the “on” and “off” positions labeled. When 
operated by an individual unfamiliar with the 
lamp, the functioning of the switch is reversed, 
so that the “off” position turns the lamp on, and 
vice versa. Once a particular user becomes 


SCP-253: The Cancer Plague 


Item #: SCP-253 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: At this time, SCP-253 poses a 
substantial threat to humanity. SCP-253 is to be kept under 
Biosafety Level-4 protocols at all times. All research is to be 
conducted at a site where incineration and irradiation protocols can 
be swiftly enacted, that is geographically isolated, and does not 
possess a diverse biosphere. The sterilization protocols shall be 
enacted following the occurrence of any event on this list: 


* Communications blackout lasting longer than forty-eight (48) 
hours. 

* Power disruption lasting longer than one (1) minute during any 
active experiments involving SCP-253. 

¢ Abnormal rise in average temperatures beyond a change of 6 
degrees Celsius (11 degrees Fahrenheit) or rise in humidity 
levels to 90% relative humidity. 

¢ Manifestations of unusual electromagnetic phenomena during 
testing of SCP-253. 


At the conclusion of testing, any subjects exposed to SCP-253 are 
to be disposed of, and their remains are subject to the sterilization 
protocol. 


Any researcher leaving the facility is to undergo two weeks of 
mandatory chemotherapy, followed by a 15-day quarantine. 


Description: SCP-253 is a cluster of undifferentiated human cells, 
matching the physiological traits of cancer. As per cancerous cells, 
cultured samples of SCP-253 will grow indefinitely if given an 
adequate source of nutrition. SCP-253 is contagious, able to pass 
from human to human, as well as to some animal species. SCP-253 
is not an airborne contagion, but physical contact with surface 


accustomed to the reversed function, the 
switch begins to operate correctly. This 
process repeats each time the user forms an 
ingrained habit regarding how to operate the 
switch. 

Glyph: Dalath 


SCP-2197-22 

Description: Two unadorned 20cm x 60cm 
pieces of sheet metal, sold together as 
“bookends.” Each one has two 90 degree 
bends equidistant along its longer axis, 
forming a squared “U” shape resembling three 
sides of a cube. When one of the items is 
picked up, it begins to grow in size, doubling in 
volume every ten seconds, until it becomes too 
heavy or unwieldy for the subject to hold. Upon 
slipping out of the subject’s grasp, the item 
instantly reverts to its original size. Holding 
both pieces at the same time, or fitting them 
together into a cube, appears to produce no 
additional effect. 

Glyph: Dalath-minus 


SCP-2197-25 

Description: A 32-page coloring book. The 
picture on each page is rainbow- and/or 
unicorn-themed. Any individual who fully colors 
in at least one page of the book experiences 
increased good luck thereafter, as confirmed 
by Foundation statisticians using a random- 
number generator. Within a week of coloring in 
the page, the subject invariably meets an ideal 
romantic partner and enters into a long-term 
relationship. On both occasions on which D- 
class personnel were used to test the item, an 
unusual confluence of events led to the subject 
escaping Foundation custody shortly before 
scheduled termination, along with a D-class of 
the opposite sex with whom the subject had 


recently formed an attachment. 
Glyph: Waw 


SCP-2197-27 

Description: An item which appears to be a 
normal wooden cuckoo clock, aged but in 
good condition, until it is mounted to a wall of a 
structure owned by the purchaser, at which 
point it reveals its true form and cannot be 
removed short of demolishing the wall on 
which it is mounted. The cuckoo clock is made 
from a human head, neck and chest cavity, 
apparently still living, with a brass pendulum 
and clockface. The lungs have been removed 
and the ribs spread to display the swinging 
pendulum inside the chest cavity, which has 
sharp blades designed to pierce the 
individual’s sides with every swing. The 
clockface is wedged into the mouth, the jaw 
having been stretched open to accommodate 
it. The eyes constantly dart about and grunts 
of pain may be heard from the throat. At the 
top of every hour, the pendulum and clockface 
rapidly heat to [REDACTED] degrees 
Centigrade, causing the throat to emit cries of 
pain reminiscent of the sounds of a non- 
anomalous cuckoo clock. The number of cries 
has been observed to be consistently 
appropriate to the hour being struck.

Footnotes 

1. Foundation personnel briefed on SCP-2197 also appear to be 
unaffected by this phenomenon. Site-11’s Shamanic Analysis Unit 
has concluded that the effect targets only unsuspecting individuals. 
2. SCP-2197 first came to the Foundation’s attention when routine 
monitoring of Vatican email traffic flagged an inquiry from the 
Archdiocese of Boston on behalf of a parishioner who claimed that 
an antique doll she had purchased on a trip to Maine had been 
“harassing” her with ineffectual attempts to harm or inconvenience 


her. The doll was retrieved and is currently designated SCP-2197-2. 
It has proven capable of movement and vocalization, albeit with a 
severe speech impediment. Class-B amnestics were administered to 
the purchaser, her parish priest, and the Archbishop of Boston.

SCP-2198: Mourning The World 


Item #: SCP-2198 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Outposts 93-A, -B, and -C have 
been constructed within the Antarctic, directly beneath SCP-2198's 
original site of manifestation. The area, however unlikely the 
formation of future instances of SCP-2198 are, is to be continuously 
monitored both terrestrially from said outposts, and aerially via 
geosynchronous satellite. 


Limited samples of both lacrimal fluid and saliva manifested via 
SCP-2198 have been collected and amassed at Storage Site-109, 
within separate containment vats. 


Description: SCP-2198 collectively designates several 

nimbostratus clouds observed to form directly above the Antarctic 

Circle, and limited areas of China, India, the USA, the UK, Russia, 

Japan, and South Korea, between the dates of / /2006 and / 
/2007. All instances of SCP-2198 have since dissipated. 


The largest instance of SCP-2198, forming over the majority of the 
Antarctic Circle, was observed to precipitate frozen human lacrimal 
fluid, colloquially Known as tears. It is to be of note that the basic 
shape of this SCP-2198 instance appeared to directly correlate with 
the shape of the ozone hole above the same area. 


Secondary instances of SCP-2198, forming above the 
aforementioned countries, were observed to precipitate human 
saliva at an above-average speed of 56km/h. Secondary instances 
of SCP-2198 did not exceed volumes of 200m<3, and invariably 
manifested above factories manufacturing fire extinguishers, air 
conditioners, solvents, and aerosols. 


After secondary instances of SCP-2198 had been identified, the 


factories beneath were thereupon located; multiple collaborative 
Task Forces were selectively nominated to isolate the industrial 
units in question, clear as many traces of saliva as possible, and 
administer Class-A to -C amnestics accordingly. Similar actions 
were taken in the Antarctic to collect a limited amount of lacrimal 
fluid while precipitation from the primary instance of SCP-2198 was 
still occurring; collection proved less successful due to the fact that 
the fluid manifested in the form of minute hailstones, either resulting 
in total pulverisation upon impact against ice, or general loss to the 
masses of snow within the surrounding area. 


Analysis has confirmed the presence of DNA from over 
individuals within the stored saliva and lacrimal fluid samples; DNA 
fingerprint data shows that approximately 97% of individuals 
identified in this way are deceased, with existing post-mortem 
documentation either confirming or indicating that cause of death for 
92% of these individuals was fatal self-infliction on the date of / 
/2007. The total number of individuals identifiable from the samples 
cannot be ascertained due to the aforementioned partial losses of 
both samples. An additional 2% have been confirmed missing. The 
remaining 1% have been identified and located, but the majority of 
individuals have not been approached (see Addendum).

SCP-2199: Out of the Frying Pan 


Item #: SCP-2199 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2199 is in a standard 
Wildlife Observation Chamber, located within Site-—77. Listening 
devices are attached to the hump on a permanent basis, in order to 
observe the interior of its body. Exploratory testing has been 
suspended, due to the effect that repeated testing had on 
SCP-2199's health. 


Description: SCP-2199 is an adult male Indian Camel (Camelus 
dromedarius). The hump is hairless, and has the appearance of 
being covered in scar tissue. 


Instead of being completely composed out of tissue fibers, the hump 
on SCP-2199's back is filled with water underneath a 10cm layer of 
fibrous tissue. This water is brackish, self-replenishing, and inhabits 
a volume roughly equivalent to the total biomass of SCP-21991,. 
Despite the absence of any corresponding light sources, it contains 
ambient light. 


A large number of small organisms, collectively designated as 
SCP-2199-1, inhabit this soace. Each subgroup of SCP-2199-1 
resembles a particular species of plant or animal native to an arid 
region, but has adapted or been heavily modified for small size and 
aquatic environments; many display extremely unusual body plans. 
While still superficially resembling their desert counterparts, all 
SCP-2199-1 instances are between 2 and 10 cm long and the 
relative sizes of SCP-2199-1 subgroups do not correspond to the 
relative sizes of their unmodified relatives. Since direct examination 
of this ecosystem requires that SCP-2199 be anesthetized and its 
hump surgically opened, visual observation has been limited. 


It is, however, possible to observe SCP-2199-1 from outside the 


neoplasms on infected subjects will spread the plague. 


The first sign of SCP-253 infection is the emergence of skin lesions, 
typically dime-sized (2 cm in diameter) in groups of three to five, at 
the site of infection. Within twelve (12) hours after the appearance of 
the lesions, MRI scans show the development of neoplasms within 
the brain. At this time, the neoplasms do not induce neurological 
symptoms. 


Over the next twenty-four to forty-eight (24 to 48) hours, numerous 
skin lesions start to emerge and grow in size. These lesions often 
induce substantial swelling in surrounding tissue, which can be quite 
painful for the subject. Often, the pain, if left untreated, leaves many 
subjects unable to move. Towards the end of the forty-eight (48) 
hour period, neoplasms start to emerge in the lymphatic system and 
neurological symptoms start to manifest. 


The neurological symptoms of SCP-253 are different for each 
patient, depending on which part of the brain the invasive cells have 
contaminated, with one exception. Each human patient heretofore 
exposed to SCP-253 has felt a complete cessation of pain forty- 
seven to forty-nine (47 to 49) hours after infection. Other 
neurological symptoms include: 


* Inability to focus attention 

¢ Disorganized speech 

« Memory loss 

¢ Hallucinations 

¢ Euphoria 

¢ Megalomania 

¢ Inappropriate emotional responses 
¢ Sociopathy 

* Catatonia 


The neoplasms do not seem to respond to radiation, and 
chemotherapy with high-dose mitoxantrone, irinotecan, and 
dacarbazine has only minimal effects. Chemotherapy was observed 
to kill some cells and markedly slow the growth of others, and 
therefore might be useful for post-exposure prophylaxis, but is 
ineffective in established disease.

Regular monitoring of SCP-2199-1 is carried out almost entirely via 
audio, in order to minimize damage to SCP-2199 due to invasive 
testing. 


Observed organism types 


Ciosest apparent ancest Description 
Bark scorpion (Centruroides Closely resembles a legless 
sp.) but otherwise normal bark 


scorpion. Rapid flicking 
movements of the tail are 
used for locomotion 
(propulsion, orientation 
control, and posture 
maintenance). 

Ostrich (Struthio camelus),| Individuals are 3-4 cm long, 
with a small spheroid body, 
webbed feet, shortened 
limbs, and two short 
muscular tails with long 
feathers. The tails are used 
similarly to bacterial flagella, 
generating propulsion by 
spinning counter to each 
other. Primarily herbivorous; 
an active hunter of algae 
and free-floating microflora. 

Meerkat (Suricata suricatta) Observed only once 
visually, these rare 
organisms are benthic 
detritivores, subsisting 
entirely on and within the 
layer of excreta and other 
detritus that accumulates 
gradually on the bottom of 
SCP-2199. 

Texas horned lizard Resembles the detached 

(Phrynosoma cornutum) head of the lizard, with 
supernumerary spines and 


no external locomotor 
appendages. Moves by 
launching its 10-cm-long 
tongue towards a prey 
animal, then retracting the 
tongue to pull itself and the 


prey together for 
consumption. 
Western black widow Has a single cephalothorax 
(Latrodectus hesperus) bearing several hundred 


long legs. The exoskeleton 
is entirely soft, permitting 
the body to undulate for 
jellyfish-like propulsion. The 
red "hourglass" marking on 
the abdomen is a 
bioluminescent lure, used to 
attract smaller organisms 
within reach of the legs, 
which capture them and 
carry them into the large 
central mouth for 
envenomation and 
consumption. Preys 
primarily on other black- 
widow- and scorpion-type 
SCP-2199-1 instances. 


SCP-2199 was discovered outside of Cairo, Egypt in an abandoned 
desert ruin, with two near-human skeletons. In addition, the ancient 
remains of several other animals were discovered. The identified 
specimens include a horse, crocodile, abnormally large birds, and 
whale bones. The following script was found etched into the wall, 
translated from Latin. 


The carrier/holder/ark has crashed, and we are truly lost/ 
alone. There is nobody to inherit/take the last guardians/ 
warlords of life, and they will be lost in time. This 
development is unfortunate, but inevitable/destined. 
They probably wouldn't have gotten along in this dead 


place. 


Since the discovery of SCP-3150 in 194 , no less than two similar 
entities to SCP-2199 have have been observed within SCP-3150-1. 
Investigation into SCP-2199's origins via SCP-3150-3 is currently 
pending review.

SCP-2200: Soulberg 


Item #: SCP-2200 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: The current instance of 
SCP-2200-2 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment 
chamber at Bio-Site 59. To prevent the relocation of SCP-2200-1, a 
minimum of five armed security personnel must escort SCP-2200-2 
to termination chamber T-28 once a month to assist in routine D- 
Class cycling. In the event SCP-2200-1 relocates, Mobile Task 
Force Epsilon-30 ("Blade Fielders") is to be deployed to seek out 
and contain the new SCP-2200-2 instance. 


The area of land encompassing SCP-2200-3 has been designated 
Site-502, with Foundation faculty members living as residents in the 
town proper. As SCP-2200-3 is populated by anomalous individuals, 
faculty may acknowledge the existence of anomalous activity in 
general but are not to divulge details on any SCP object besides 
SCP-2200. Each staff member living on-site is to submit a weekly 
report detailing their experience and interactions. 


For all intents and purposes, SCP-2200-3 is to remain an 
autonomous community with minimal political and social interference 
by the Foundation. Additional intervention may be ordered by the 
presiding on-site Staff Lead at their discretion. As a number of inert 
instances are already in storage for testing and archival purposes, 
additional inert SCP-2200-4 are to be collected and melted down for 
use in funding Foundation activities. 


Description: SCP-2200 is the collective designation of several 
interrelated anomalous phenomena: 


SCP-2200-1 is a sword, 80cm in length, composed of an alloy of 
silver and copper, estimated to have been constructed between 
1,000 and 500 BCE. SCP-2200-1 is luminescent, giving off blue light 


at a level of brightness directly proportional to the number of 
SCP-2200-4 subjects residing in SCP-2200-3. Similarly, increased 
numbers of SCP-2200-4 subjects reverses deterioration caused by 
SCP-2200-1's age, making it a more effective weapon. 


SCP-2200-2 refers to the human individual who is currently bonded 
with SCP-2200-1. SCP-2200-2 subjects cannot separate themselves 
from SCP-2200-1 and any attempt to forcefully remove it from the 
subject's grasp will result in the immediate death of the subject. 
Similarly, surgical removal of the hand or arm bonded to 
SCP-2200-1 will also result in death. When an SCP-2200-2 instance 
dies, SCP-2200-1 anomalously relocates into the hand of another 
individual and instantly bonds with them. 


There is no apparent limit to the distance SCP-2200-1 can travel 
when transporting itself to a new subject. SCP-2200-1 appears to 
selectively bond with subjects that share a similar set of traits (see 
Document 2200-A), which suggests that it may be intelligent to 
some degree. Bonding with SCP-2200-1 will cause subjects to suffer 
from an anomalous form of argyrosis! which causes their skin to 
rapidly develop a distinct blue hue. If an SCP-2200-2 subject does 
not end a human life for an extended period of time, SCP-2200-1 will 
relocate itself. 


After bonding with SCP-2200-1, SCP-2200-2 subjects experience 
heightened epinephrine and testosterone levels and immediately 
gain an understanding of SCP-2200 in its entirety. These factors, 
combined with the SCP-2200-2 subject's background (see 
Document 2200-A) have invariably resulted in SCP-2200-2 killing 
those around them with SCP-2200-1. 


SCP-2200-3 is a 50km2 area of land located in 

Whenever a person is killed by SCP-2200-1, a likeness of the 
individual formed out of an anomalous, silver-based alloy 
(SCP-2200-4) will appear in SCP-2200-3. Despite being made of 
inorganic material, instances of SCP-2200-4 are fully animate and 
capable of vocalization. Interviews have shown that SCP-2200-4 
instances share the personality and memories of the victim they 
resemble. 


Because of their metallic composition, SCP-2200-4 cease aging 


after their conversion and are resistant to physical damage. 
SCP-2200-4 do not need to eat, drink, or sleep in order to sustain 
themselves, but may perform these actions if they so choose. 
Instances of SCP-2200-4 that leave SCP-2200-3 will cease 
animation upon setting foot outside the designated 50km? space. 
SCP-2200-4 instances seem to be innately aware of the dimensions 
of the "safe" area. Any that leave remain permanently inert and 
cannot be restored by being returned to SCP-2200-3. 


Document 2200-A: Characteristics shared by SCP-2200-2 subjects: 


¢ Between 15 and 45 years of age 

¢ Physically active 

¢ Strong fear of death 

¢ Negative view of what happens after death 
« Psychological/emotional instability 


Interview 2200-I-0015 


Interviewed: SCP-2200-2.037, a 36-year-old male from 
British Columbia. 


Interviewer: Dr. Stems 


Foreword: Interview was conducted on / /_ , two days 
after SCP-2200-2.037 was detained. 


<Begin log> 


Dr. Stems: All right, we're going to run through this one 
more time for the records. Please describe the series of 
events that transpired after SCP-2200-1 appeared in 
your hand. 


SCP-2200-2.037: One moment | was just sitting in my 
bedroom, reading, when all of a sudden | had this ... this 
vision. | saw this place where people could live forever. | 
mean, on an intellectual level | was aware that what | 
saw was impossible, but at the same time | was 


convinced it was true. And | knew that | could send 
people there with the sword. 


Dr. Stems: What was your first course of action? 


SCP-2200-2.037: | waited until dark. | live alone so 
nobody noticed me going out in the middle of the night. 
Whenever | came across some homeless person 
sleeping alone, I'd slit their throat or stab them in the 
heart or something like that. It went on for a few nights 
until | got caught by the cops. They turned me over to 
you guys, and, well, here | am. 


Dr. Stems: | see. Anything else you'd like to add? 


SCP-2200-2.037: | wanna make it clear that I'm not a 
psychopath or anything. | sent those people away 
because death could have come for them at any 
moment. What if they weren't right with God? The way | 
see It, when someone is sent to that place, they're 
basically guaranteed eternal life. | was eliminating the 
risk of Hell for them, you know? | know it sounds terrible, 
but | had good intentions. | wasn't really killing them. Just 
sending them to heaven, kind of. Or at least keeping 
them safe from the alternative. 


Dr. Stems: Thank you for your time.

Interview 2200-I-0124 


Interviewed: SCP-2200-2.082, a 29-year-old female 
from Washington, USA. 


Interviewer: Researcher Iwataki 


Foreword: Interview was conducted on / /_ , three 
weeks after SCP-2200-2.082 was detained. 


<Begin log> 


lwataki: Okay, we're going to be recording this time. If 
you're ready, please describe the series of events that 
transpired after SCP-2200-1 appeared in your hand. 


SCP-2200-2.082: | immediately knew that my life was 
pretty much over. | knew that | couldn't let go of this 
sword. Ever. All my plans for my life, my career, my 
family—all of it was gone. But at the same time, | guess | 
thought | had an opportunity. 


Iwataki: Were you happy with the situation? 


SCP-2200-2.082: No. God, no. | would have given 
anything to stop what happened. 


lwataki: So why did you do it? 


SCP-2200-2.082: Don't you judge me. Not for a second. 
What would you do if you could keep your loved ones 
alive forever? My sister died when she was six. How 
could | be sure that my kids wouldn't die young, too? 


[20 second pause.| 


| may have saved them, but | hated doing it. It destroyed 
me. Honestly, after | finished with my family, saving 
strangers felt like a walk in the park in comparison. God. 
| still can't believe any of this happened. I'm surprised the 
police didn't just shoot me on the spot. 


lwataki: That's what usually happens. Makes things 
much more difficult for us. 


SCP-2200-2.082: If you see my family, please tell them 
I'm sorry. 


Iwataki: I'll pass that on. Thank you for your cooperation; 
| know these past few weeks haven't been easy for you.

Interview 2200-I-0207 


Interviewed: SCP-2200-4.00581, a 68-year-old male 
religious leader in SCP-2200-3. 


Interviewer: Researcher Pittenger 
<Begin log> 


Pittenger: If you would, please describe the Exodus 
Movement to me as if | was unfamiliar with it. 


SCP-2200-4.00581: Certainly. Here in Soulberg—or 
Silverville, whatever you want to call it-there are a 
multitude of people who fear what awaits when they 
cross the threshold and give up their life. Those of us 
who are of faith believe that this is more of a purgatory 
than the paradise that God intended for us. You see, this 
place is founded on the fear of what happens after death. 
Once you've been sent here by the sword, you can 
postpone your fate as long as you like. Your life will only 
end when you cross the city limits. The Exodus 
Movement is a religious initiative that seeks to helps 
Soulberg's citizens come to term with their mortality and 
willingly pass on to the next world. 


Pittenger: If you believe in an afterlife, why have you 
yourself not "crossed the threshold" as well? 


SCP-2200-4.00581: Some of us believers have to 
remain to maintain the church and continue to spread the 
good news. As much as | desire to meet my heavenly 
father, | stay behind so that | might aid those who are still 
shackled by fear and doubt. 


Pittenger: Opponents of the Exodus Movement have 
accused you of merely wanting to reduce overpopulation 
and increase your field of influence. How do you answer 
these allegations? 


SCP-2200-4.00581: | can understand why they would 


If the mass of cancerous cells within a population does not reach a 
biomass threshold of approximately one-thousand four-hundred 
kilograms (1400 kg/3100 Ibs), the cells will overwhelm the host 
within five (5) days, resulting in death. If not transferred to a new 
host, the cancer cells will consume any remaining usable biomass of 
the host's corpse before finally running out of resources and dying. 


However, if the mass of cancer cells within a population reaches the 
threshold, electromagnetic phenomena will start to manifest. The 
sources of these phenomena appear to be the infected hosts, but 
the mechanism of the EM manipulation is not understood at this 
time. 


Further, it appears the EM emanations facilitate some sort of 
communication between the hosts. Coordinated in some fashion by 
the neoplasms, the hosts start to act as one entity spread through 
many bodies. The intelligence of this entity is initially animalistic and 
reactive. As the intelligence of the gestalt entity is believed to be 
based on the remaining brain tissue within the hosts, it is 
hypothesized that the entity may be able to achieve human-like 
intelligence. The events from Incident |.J77.82 appear to support this 
hypothesis, and research suggests that some of the more unsettling 
things seen at Hospital are manifestations of this intellect. 


Until suitable methods can be created to jam the EM transmissions 
of the end-stage infection entity, and until efficacious treatment 
alternatives for the diseases known as cancer enters common 
usage, the utmost care must be taken with samples of SCP-253. 


Addenda: 
253a: Proposal that SCP-253 be classified as Euclid is pending 
review of Incident I.J77.82 by the Overseers. 


253b: SCP-253 has been given provisional Euclid classification. 
Final report on Incident |.J77.82 has been released. Research into 
the events of Incident I.J77.82 has been approved. 


253c: Research involving approaching the threshold biomass in 
human subjects has been denied. Decision on request to test 
threshold biomass in cultured samples pending. 


think such things. As long as the church has existed, so 
have its critics. Even among believers, there are those 
who believe crossing the threshold to be a sin, as it 
equates to suicide. Disagreements are a given in matters 
of religion. 


Pittenger: Any additional comments you would like me 
to record? 


SCP-2200-4.00581: This society is built upon man's fear 
of death. Whether you believe in heaven or hell, afterlife 
or finality, you must ask yourself: is the pursuit of 
immortality truly virtuous? By choosing to remain safe in 
our silver shells, we rob ourselves of our dignity. By 
fearing death, we only give it more power.

« SCP-2199 | SCP-2200 | SCP-2201 » 


SCP-2201: Cross-Dimensional Barbershop 


Item #: SCP-2201 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2201 is stored ina 
standard Safe-class Anomalous Item containment locker located at 
Site-118’s Gamma Wing. Researchers wishing to test the item 
should submit a request form to Dr. Louef, the current head of 
Site-118’s Gamma Wing. 


All researchers testing SCP-2201 should take note of the current 
schedule of testing to ensure that a month has passed since the last 
test. 


Description: SCP-2201 is a tin coin roughly 3 cm in diameter. The 
obverse is stamped with a pair of hair-styling scissors and a straight 
razor crossed against each other. The reverse features a stylized 
inscription that states: “la Barberia,” along with a line of text that 
reads, “For the best in the world...and beyond.” 


When any male is holding the coin in his hand, and firmly states the 
words, “I could really use a haircut,” the individual immediately 
disappears, and reappears within SCP-2201-1. 


SCP-2201-1 is a designation referring to an anomalous building 
resembling a 1930’s barbershop. The location of the barbershop is 
currently unknown, as all attempts at tracking it have failed. 
SCP-2201-1 is currently only reachable through the use of 
SCP-2201. The actual door in SCP-2201-1 does not open, and 
SCP-2201-2 has requested that individuals not try to open it. 


SCP-2201-2 is a designation referring to a humanoid entity that 
refers to itself as “Giuseppe.” SCP-2201-2 states that it is the owner 
and only barber of SCP-2201-1. Once an individual enters 
SCP-2201-1, SCP-2201-2 will always be found rearranging tools on 


its table, but will immediately turn and ask the individual what they 
would like. 


SCP-2201-2 speaks the language that the subject is most 
comfortable speaking in. Regardless of the language, SCP-2201-2 
possesses a thick Sicilian accent, but is capable of fluently speaking 
any language tested. SCP-2201-2 is generally polite and courteous, 
though it will often brush off questions regarding the location of 
SCP-2201-1 or other questions that it deems to be too intrusive. 


SCP-2201-2 is capable of fulfilling any requests made to it that are 
in line with the functions of a mundane barbershop, along with more 
antiquated functions of barbershops, such as teeth removal or 
surgery. SCP-2201-2 has been noted to perform any requested 
functions extremely well. In one instance, SCP-2201-2 was able to 
shave D-28091’s facial hair to within 5 micrometers of the requested 
length for the shave. 


When the requested operation has been carried out, SCP-2201-2 
will thank the subject for coming, and will snap its fingers, causing 
the subject to be returned to the location where they originally used 
SCP-2201. 


Female subjects cannot use SCP-2201. When questioned as to why 
it only accepts males, SCP-2201-2 scoffs and refuses to answer the 
question. In addition, should any individual attempt to use SCP-2201 
before 30 days have passed since its last use, the subject will hear 
the voice of SCP-2201-2 in their mind, stating “It’s not time yet.” 


SCP-2201 was first discovered on 12/02/1882, during a raid of a 
Marshall, Carter and Dark warehouse. SCP-2201 was promised as 
an item that would give “Perfect grooming for the esteemed 
gentlemen.” 


During the first activation of SCP-2201, SCP-2201-2 was noted to 
appear identical to the modern day activation of SCP-2201. It has 
been noted that SCP-2201-1 itself resembled a 19th century 
barbershop as opposed to its modern appearance. 


Interview Log 2201-A: The following interview was completed by 
Agent Ethan Lang in an attempt to acquire more information about 


SCP-2201. 
Lang: Morning, Giuseppe. 


SCP-2201-2: Ahh, welcome, Ethan. What will be it 
today? 


Lang: Just the usual. Give me a clean shave today, I’ve 
got some time. | want it very clean. 


SCP-2201-2: Of course, of course. You know how | run 
this shop, Ethan. You won't be disappointed. 


Lang: Do you mind if | ask you some questions while 
you're doing your work? 


SCP-2201-2: | don’t think so. What is on your mind? 
Lang: What exactly is this place? 


SCP-2201-2: It’s a barbershop. Is that not obvious? 
You've come here long enough to know that much, | 
would hope. [SCP-2201-2 chuckles] 


Lang: Yes, but where are we? Is this on Earth, 
somewhere? 


SCP-2201-2: [Seems uncomfortable answering] Ina 
way, | suppose. Do you have any other questions? 


Lang: Yeah. How long have you been a barber for, and 
why? 


SCP-2201-2: Since | was a little boy. My father taught 
me the trade, and how to run the business. How to cut 
hair, shave beards, style hair, trim tentacles, wax 
probosci, you know. His father taught it to him, and his 
father taught him, and so on. I’m a barber because it’s 
what | can do. 


Lang: So, why has this place not changed? It seems like 
this place used to change to fit the times quite often. 


SCP-2201-2: People just don't go to barbershops like 
they used to. What's with all of these new salons? 
"Tentaclips?" Do people appreciate a classic barbershop 
anymore? | keep that spirit alive. 


Lang: | see. Did you ever have other barbers here? 


SCP-2201-2: [Sighs] Once, yes. There used to be lots of 
barbers here, doing all sorts of work. Now it’s just me, 
catering to those who can still find the coins. Aside from 
Signor Dark, Signora Wondertainment, and some of the 
others, there aren't many regulars from where you are. 


Lang: Umm...Signora Wondertainment? 


SCP-2201-2: It’s a favor to her father. | knew him quite 
well, and | had to give him a favor somehow. And, it 
looks like we’re done here. Thank you for coming, Ethan. 
It was good talking to you.

SCP-2203: Find the One for You! 


Item #: SCP-2203 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2203 is to be kept in a 
standard locker and powered down between tests. Use of SCP-2203 
is restricted solely for testing and not for any other purpose. Any 
information gathered from SCP-2203 must be logged in the 
experiment journal and is not to be acted upon without principal 
researchers’ consent. All requests for hiring decisions, vacation 
time, or transfers to different facilities strictly on SCP-2203's advice 
will be denied. Researchers are expected to review the personnel 
guide for Foundation policies regarding ethical behavior in 
relationships between employees before testing. 


Testing of the cards created by SCP-2203 using SCP-2236 has 
been approved, following review by Site Command. 


Description: SCP-2203 is a standard "Love Tester" amusement. 
The amusement is 1.9 m tall and is constructed from American 
chestnut (Castanea dentata) wood, brass, and glass, with a brass 
handgrip on the front and topped with a tall lightbox. Next to the grip 
on SCP-2203 is a brass plate, with the following engraved on it: 


Find the One for you! Test your love, and find that one 
special someone you are destined to spend the rest of 
your life with! Your sweetheart is waiting! 


On the back of the machine is a small plaque listing The Great 
Amusementology Company as the manufacturer. 


Similar to other love testers, when activated, the lightbox cycles 
through each light while a beeping melody is played. Based on the 
measured skin conductivity of the subject holding the handgrip, the 
lightbox indicates a supposed "score" of the subject's romantic 


appeal. The possible results are Please Try Again, Clammy, 
Harmless, Mild, Naughty but Nice, Wild, Burning, Passionate, Hot 
Stuff, and Uncontrollable. 


Unlike other love testers, SCP-2203 also dispenses a calling card, 
displaying the name and address of a person, along with a few 
words of advice about approaching said person. In all cases, the 
person mentioned has been proven to exist. Examination of the 
internal workings of SCP-2203 has been unable to ascertain the 
information source of the names and addresses, nor has any 
method of choosing a name been found. 


Subjects who approach the person named on the card report finding 
an easy bond between the two can be created, as if the subject 
implicitly understood the person. Subsequent interviews with the 
person approached also indicate a reciprocation of positive 
emotional connections with the subject. Sexual, romantic, and 
otherwise intimate relationships between the subject and the person 
have been determined by interview to be long-lasting, with marriage 
and full expectation of a happy life being common results. Both 
subject and person express lower cortisol levels and higher oxytocin 
and vasopressin levels in the event of a continuation of the bond. 


Testing has shown that the bond is non-anomalous in nature and 
can be disrupted. Tactics on the initial approach that suggest a lack 
of safety on the part of the person approached can dissuade the 
person from further interaction with the subject, as normal. 
Subsequent assaults or acts of betrayal once the bond has been 
established can dissolve the bond. The anomalous nature of 
SCP-2203 involves its ability to choose someone who reacts 
positively to the subject's personality, and does not impart any extra 
ability to strengthen the bond. 


Recovery Log: SCP-2203 was recovered on 14 February, 1973 
from in San Francisco, CA. Police were called to break 
up an arrest two individuals who were fighting in front of the object, 
which was in the corner of a room with similar amusements. A 
Foundation agent embedded in the police force investigated the 
claim from the altercators that one man's girlfriend was supposed to 
be the other's true mate, according to the object. The agent 
operated SCP-2203 and was given a card with the name and 


current address of a former girlfriend in St. Louis, MO. He reported 
the event to the Foundation and requested vacation time. 


Addendum 2203-A: Experiment Log 


Initial D-Class safety testing revealed no anomalous risks from 
SCP-2203 (See Safety Log 2203-1). Principal researcher Dr. 
Andrew Califano recommends testing with well-socialized subjects 
of up to Level 3 clearance. Permission granted.

Result: Agent Towson reported AWOL and disappeared on 15 
December, 1984. Subject was not located and not properly 
amnesticized before termination of employment. Tracking down of 
Agent Towson considered high priority as he is well trained in 
Foundation tactics and infiltration. On 25 December 1984, a 
domestic disturbance and an intruder at the home of Ms. 
Scarborough was reported to the West Yorkshire Police, and arrests 
were made. Due to political conditions between the UK and the 
Foundation at the time, the names of the arrested were never 


released. 


Containment procedures updated to forbid the use of SCP-2203 in 
hiring decisions, transfer requests, and vacation planning.

Result: Mr. Hamilton has been selected as a match three times to 
different subjects. All three subjects were female, heterosexual, 
between 25-30 years of age, of similar height and build, scored high 
on openness and introversion personality characteristics, and had a 
Score parameter of Wild. 


Mr. Hamilton was not associated with the Foundation. O5 approval 
to approach him for testing was requested and approved. Upon 
initial interview, Mr. Hamilton reported to be engaged, and refused 
the offer to be tested with SCP-2203. He replied that he loves his 
fiancée and he would rather listen to his heart than any machine. 


Mr. Hamilton voluntarily took a Class B amnestic and was released 
without testing. 


Experiment 2203-A-45 
Date: 11 May, 1997 


253d: Use of SCP-500 in experiments with SCP-253 has been 
denied. 


253e: Use of SCP-427 in experiments with SCP-253 have been 
approved. Early results are not encouraging. Despite success using 
427 to treat other forms of cancer, in this instance, 427 appears to 
induce accelerated growth in both tumorous growths as well as in 
the patient. Subjects were terminated as they neared the critical 
threshold for use with 427. Request to take patients beyond the 
critical threshold is pending.

SCP-2204: Triple Threat: Intracommunal Men of 
Obscurity 


Item #: SCP-2204 
Object Class: Keter (provisional) 


Special Containment Procedures: Containment of SCP-2204 is 
undertaken by the research team stationed in Oak Grove, Kentucky. 
Said team has managed to communicate the following: 


¢ Information of any kind regarding events transpiring in Oak 
Grove, even that which does not pertain to SCP-2204, is 
unreliable. 

* Containment of SCP-2204 is high-priority. 

* Containment of SCP-2204 is hazardous to personnel. 

¢ No meaningful research or containment of SCP-2204 is 

possible from outside of Oak Grove. 

Personnel assigned to SCP-2204 should be qualified to work 

with infohazards and antimemetics, resistant to 

cognitohazards, and of a personable disposition. 


For a list of funding and other resources requisitioned by the 
research team in Oak Grove, contact the budgeting office. 


Description: Information regarding SCP-2204 is incapable of 
leaving the town of Oak Grove, Kentucky. SCP-2204's nature and 
properties are thus known only to the research team in Oak Grove, 
so long as said team members remain in Oak Grove. 


A limited amount of indirect or very general information regarding 
SCP-2204 — that which is present in this document — has been 
communicated by the Oak Grove research team. 


Any information regarding SCP-2204 must be gained via an in- 
person visit to Oak Grove, Kentucky. 


Item #: SCP-2204 
Anomaly Class: Safe 


Research Procedures: SCP-2204 is restricted to the 
city of Oak Grove, Kentucky. SCP-2204 requires no 
particular containment procedures. SCP-2204-A is to be 
monitored for any unusual activity or change in 
anomalous nature. To this end, one agent is to pose as 
Triple Threat's manager. 


The mother of SCP-2204-A-1 through -3 has been 
informed of SCP-2204-A's anomalous properties (under 
the guise that personnel are working for the United 
States government), and has thus far been cooperative 
in assisting research. 


All documentation relating to SCP-2204 is held at 
Outpost 2204-A. Research personnel are to re- 
familiarize themselves with all SCP-2204-related 
documentation at least once per month. 


Description: SCP-2204 is an anomalous phenomenon 
surrounding SCP-2204-A and SCP-2204-B. SCP-2204-A 
is a group of five adolescent human males, age 17-24 at 
time of writing, residing in the town of Oak Grove, 
Kentucky: 


* SCP-2204-A-1: Martin Alvarez, age 19. 

* SCP-2204-A-2: Matthew "Matt" Alvarez, age 22. 
* SCP-2204-A-3: Michael Alvarez, age 22. 

* SCP-2204-A-4: Jerome Troier, age 24. 

* SCP-2204-A-5: Austin Betancourt, age 17. 


SCP-2204-A-1, -2, and -3 are siblings; SCP-2204-A-2 
and -3 are fraternal twins. None pose any particular risk 
to themselves or each other. 


SCP-2204-B refers to any works or communications 
produced by SCP-2204-A, either individually or in 
concert. 


SCP-2204-A, SCP-2204-B, and any information 
regarding either are incapable of leaving the town of Oak 
Grove, Kentucky. 


Physical objects (such as SCP-2204-A itself, 
physical media containing SCP-2204-B, etc.) will 
disappear upon reaching the boundary of Oak 
Grove and reappear in some appropriate location 
within the town's borders. 

Observers outside of the Oak Grove's border 
looking in at SCP-2204 experience a mirage-like 
effect that renders the information or entities in 
question unrecognizable. A similar effect occurs 
for sound, which is distorted to the point of being 
unrecognizable. This effect applies both to human 
observers and recording equipment. Those without 
prior knowledge of SCP-2204 will rarely recognize 
the effect as unusual. 

Individuals who leave Oak Grove immediately 
forget all information related to SCP-2204, with all 
pertinent memories being altered to contain 
different material to form a coherent narrative that 
does not include SCP-2204. This effect typically 
draws on material from the individual's own 
experience.! This effect is reversed upon returning 
to Oak Grove. 

Attempts to transmit SCP-2204-B or SCP-2204-B- 
related data electronically outside of Oak Grove 
results in a malfunction either in the device 
sending the data or the device receiving it, 
preventing the transmission. The nature of the 
malfunction varies, though any error message that 
appears will be replaced with "Groovy, baby!". 


The exact parameters that delineate what information 
can or cannot leave Oak Grove are unknown. A very 
limited amount of information has been communicated to 
the SCP Foundation at large — see the primary 
documentation of SCP-2204 in the main SCP database. 


SCP-2204 possesses a secondary cognitohazardous 
effect on persons who observe anomalous activity 
resulting from SCP-2204 or who are exposed to 
information regarding it. Over the course of five to seven 
weeks, affected subjects manifest a general disinterest in 
SCP-2204's anomalous properties, typically considering 
them unusual (and, in some cases, acknowledging their 
apparent supernatural qualities), but not find them 
noteworthy. After nine weeks, no subject has voluntarily 
attempted any action that would trigger SCP-2204's 
anomalous properties. 


These cognitohazardous effects are dissipated by 
regular exposure to information that calls attention to 
SCP-2204's anomalous properties, such as this 
document. The effects are substantially more difficult to 
reverse in subjects who are native to Oak Grove or who 
enjoy the music of Triple Threat. 


SCP-2204-A's members together comprise the members 
of the hip-hop group Triple Threat, with SCP-2204-A-1 
and -4 responsible for production, SCP-2204-A-2 and -3 
responsible for writing and performing vocals, and 
SCP-2204-A-5 acting as a turntablist. The group has 
thus far released two mixtapes (Spy vs. Spy and 
JAGUAR) and one self-titled aloum. Due to its high- 
quality music and acclaimed live show, Triple Threat is 
popular among citizens of Oak Grove. 


SCP-2204's anomalous properties initially manifested at 
some point in 2009, when SCP-2204-A-1 through -3 
began to write music and began calling themselves 
Triple Threat. SCP-2204-A-4 and -5, longtime friends of 
the trio, were added in 2012 and were thereafter subject 
to SCP-2204's anomalous properties. 


SCP-2204 retained its anomalous properties for the 
duration of a temporary dissolution of Triple Threat over 
interpersonal and creative disputes in 2014. It is thus 
presumed that SCP-2204's anomalous properties, while 
likely initiated by Triple Threat, are independent of its 


existence. 


SCP-2204 was discovered by chance in 2013. While the 
Foundation at large is entirely ignorant of the nature of 
SCP-2204, it has continued to provide funding for 
containment efforts and personnel as requested by 
Outpost 2204-A under the advisement of the 
Antimemetics department. 


Addendum: Note from Dr. Bavitz, SCP-2204 head 
researcher. 


SCP-2204 is, as you've probably realized by 
now, self-containing. The chance of the 
"outside world" learning about it is effectively 
zero. The population of Oak Grove leads lives 
that are completely normal in every important 
aspect. There's nothing to suggest that either 
of these are changing any time soon. 


If the Foundation was capable of knowing what 
we do here, there's no chance that they would 
bother funding it. If you feel that your talents 
would be better used elsewhere, or that 
deceiving the Foundation in this way is 
somehow immoral, feel free to request a 
transfer — we're not afraid that you'll give up 
our secret, obviously. | should note, however, 
that this assignment is about as low-risk as it 
gets, and you'll feel healthier not getting 
amnesticized who-knows-how-often. At least, 
that's what | think it is. 


Our research is undertaken for the benefit of 
SCP-2204-A. Those of us who remain here 
believe that SCP-2204 poses an unjust 
restriction on these individuals, and that our 
research may be able to identify a way for 
them to live more normal lives. They may be 
unaware of what they're missing, but that 
doesn't change anything. Not to mention that 


the world is being deprived of some rather 
good music. 


We're glad to have you aboard.

1. For example, SCP-2204-A-3's mother will recall 
raising three girls whose descriptions and life histories 
correspond to different women that SCP-2204-A-3 has 
dated. Foundation personnel will typically recall working 
on containment of an SCP object on which they have 
previously worked. Memories of SCP-2204-B are 
consistently replaced with memories of material from 
theAustin Powersfranchise or from the nonexistent rock 
bandConstellation Starfish.

SCP-2205: Mr. Dwight Montgomery-Patterson, War 
Hero 


eh pe oe is a 
From right to left: Sgt. Derek , Pvt. Ramirez and Mr. Dwight 
Patterson during initial briefing 


Item #: SCP-2205 
Object Class: Euclid Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: As of June 6th, 2005, all 
Foundation assets tasked with monitoring the properties held by 
SCP-2205 have confirmed the ceasing of all anomalous activity 
matching previously described abnormal properties. 


A review of all currently existing records of former PFC! Mr. Dwight 
Montgomery-Patterson is to be made by a Foundation-operated 
team of historiography specialists once every three (3) years. Any 
further changes in Mr. Patterson's service record are grounds for the 
reclassification of SCP-2205 as Euclid and the resumption of active 
monitoring. 


Previous Containment Procedures: Containment to SCP-2205 is 
divided between two task forces. 


Task Force Omega-34-01 ("Office Duty") is tasked with analyzing 
relevant written documentation or imagery pertaining to Mr. Dwight 
Montgomery-Patterson's military service during the anniversary of 
relevant events pertaining to the Second World War while 
coordinating with Task Force Omega-34-02 ("Recon Unit") in order 
to establish a connection between Mr. Dwight Montgomery- 
Patterson's disappearances from the ongoing timeline and 
significant alterations in Mr. Patterson's military reports. Any details 
obtained as a result of this active monitoration are to be detailed in 
SCP-2205's database file. 


Description: SCP-2205 is the defined designation for an anomalous 
phenomenon involving two different instances of a single human 
being that hold the ability to significantly modify the properties of 
past and ongoing reality. 


Pvt. Dwight Patterson, Age 24, United States Army Rifleman 
(1920-1944) is the first instance of SCP-2205, supposedly located 
within the participants of the end events of the Second World War. 
This instance of Mr. Patterson has been registered as a soldier for 
the Allied Forces for fifteen (15) months until his death from an 
MG42 gunshot to the chest in June 6th, 1944, during the landings 
inside Normandy commanded by the allied forces under the 
designation of "Operation Neptune". Pvt. Patterson was survived by 
a single daughter, product of a three-year marriage with Ms. 
Amanda Montgomery (1917-1998) that ended in 1943 after his 
enlisting. 


Mr. Dwight Montgomery-Patterson, Age 85, Retired Salesman 
(1920-2005) is the second instance of SCP-2205, supposedly 
located within the United States' living population until the year of 
2005. This instance of Mr. Patterson was dismissed with honors by 
the United States Army for multiple heroic actions in the 1944 
Normandy landings under the designation of "Operation Neptune". 
This instance of Mr. Patterson expired from an aortic aneurysm in 
the date of June 6th, 2005. Mr. Patterson was survived by three 
daughters and two sons, products of a fifty-eight year marriage with 
Ms. Amanda Montgomery (1917-1998) that ended in 1998, after her

Incident I|.J77.82 
SCP involved: SCP-253 


Preamble: On / / _, the Foundation became aware of a significant 
event leading to the quarantine of an entire hospital under the 
pretext of an Ebola epidemic. Due to reports of the abnormal 
electromagnetic phenomena associated with the hospital, the report 
was transmitted through unofficial channels and eventually made its 
way to the Foundation. Concerned that other groups might get 
involved, the Foundation sent to investigate the 
situation. At 1800 hours, an infiltration squad of the task force 
entered Hospital. 


Site Investigation Summary: Examination of the exterior of the 
hospital showed no abnormal signs. Telescopic examination through 
windows showed human shapes of indeterminate origin moving 
through the halls of the hospital. 


Examination of the electromagnetic spectrum showed the hospital 
was giving off EM energy. Analysis of the signal showed a pulse of 
consistent energy lasting between 29.2 seconds and 45.1 seconds. 
This pulse was followed by a 2.3 to 11.2 second cessation of 
emission. The pulse's energy was primarily concentrated in three 
bands — 82% in the SHF radio frequency band, 11% in the ELF 
radio frequency band, and 7% in a band centered near 1.2 THz. The 
SHF pulse initially interfered with the Site Investigation Team's 
satellite link-ups, but a work-around was quickly implemented. 


The IR-spectrum showed a radiation spike consistent with a 
temperature within the structure of approximately 40 degrees 
Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit). 


Seismic investigation proved inconclusive.

Event Log 2205-A, June 6th, 2005 


TF Omega-34-01 has detected and registered 
a divergence in behaviour of SCP-2205 along 
with TF Omega-34-02. The following picture 
had been previously documented as Mr. 
Patterson's first instance’s location during the 
Normandy landings. Monitoration reports 
showed that Mr. Montgomery-Patterson 
simultaneously disappeared from his house in 


, Minnesota. Eight hours after the 
disappearance, major corruption was 
registered in the original aforementioned 
printed picture, where Mr. Patterson's 
presence was seemingly removed from the 
printed image. Mr. Montgomery-Patterson 
rematerialized at his home thirty minutes later 
and began to show symptoms of what was 
later diagnosed as exsanguination due to an 
aortic aneurysm. Emergency services were 
reported to attempt cardiopulmonary 
ressucitation without success resulting in Mr. 
Montgomery-Patterson being pronounced as 
deceased. Simultaneously, the casualty report 
of Mr. Patterson was altered to match Mr. 
Montgomery-Patterson's death date. 


Dr. Margaret Webber, Chief Operative of 
Task Force Omega-34-01 


Addendum 2205-A: Further observation made by Foundation 
assets following the sudden disappearance of Mr. Montgomery- 
Patterson from his household and consequent death culminated in a 
massive loss of historic data from the Second World War brought to 
modern historiography's attention by himself. Any official records 
about Mr. Mongtomery-Patterson's honored dismissal from the 
United States Army as well as any officially registered 
documentation? were registered as missing data. At time of writing, 
the location of the remains of Mr. Montgomery-Patterson is 
considered unknown. 


Addendum 2205-B: The following note was found at Mr. 
Montgomery-Patterson's bedside after his cardiac arrest and 
consequent expiration. 


It’s time for me to finally rest at your side, where you will 
be waiting with open arms and a smile. Won't you? | am 


sure you will.

SCP-2206: Maximum League Baseball 


Item #: SCP-2206 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Containment of SCP-2206 is 
currently unfeasible due to the number and distribution of its 
broadcasting locations. To combat growing public awareness of 
SCP-2206, a mass disinformation campaign has been launched with 
the goal of disguising SCP-2206 as a work of fiction. To this end, the 
following actions have been, will be, and/or are continuing to be 
taken: 


* The creation of a fictional website for SCP-2206, describing it 
as a radio show parodying popular sports talk radio. 

¢ The creation of SCP-2206 merchandise, sold through an 
online storefront on the aforementioned website. 

¢ The creation of advertisements for SCP-2206, memetically 
engineered to decrease listeners’ willingness to believe that 
SCP-2206 is anything other than a work of fiction. 

¢ The staging of live shows emulating SCP-2206 broadcasts, 
performed by Mobile Task Force Lambda-30 ("Sports Casting 
Performers"). 


Efforts to locate and neutralize the source of SCP-2206 are ongoing. 


Description: SCP-2206 is a series of radio broadcasts that began 
occurring throughout the continental United States in 2008. These 
broadcasts mainly occur during the local evening, usually coinciding 
with a region's baseball games. While it is possible to trace 
individual instances of SCP-2206 back to their apparent 
broadcasting locations, no source has been found for them. It is 
currently theorized that SCP-2206 is an inter-universal broadcast 
from an alternate universe significantly different from our own. 


The content of SCP-2206 is a sports commentary and discussion 


show. While the focus of this show is a sport referred to as baseball, 
this sport is significantly different from any known version of baseball 
played on Earth.1 


Differences include: 


Batters do not receive walks. The only way to get on base is 
to successfully hit the ball. 

Bats are constructed from aluminum or lightweight 
composites, instead of the northern white ash wood typically 
used in the construction of professional-level bats. 

A larger playing field. The distance between bases has been 
stated as being 180 feet (approximately 55 meters), while the 
distance between home plate and the furthest point of the 
back wall has been given as 1600 feet (approximately 490 
meters). 

High-strength fences (constructed from various different 
materials) of "great height" entirely surround the field for the 
protection of spectators. 

On-field fights between opposing teams are common, 
expected, and considered a legitimate manner of contesting 
an umpire's call. 

Serious injuries and fatalities are significantly more common. 
The use of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs is 
mandatory. 

Players are highly divergent from baseline humans. 
Genetically-modified and cybernetically-enhanced humans, 
sapient ectomorphs, androids, and other anomalous 
humanoids are present in some combination on all teams. 
Fan superstitions appear to be capable of actually affecting 
the outcome of a game. 


The commentators for SCP-2206, who are by all indications 
baseline humans, treat these differences as usual and normal, 
providing commentary very similar in tone and style to that of a 
normal sports talk radio show. 


The following teams are known to currently play SCP-2206 baseball.

A57: Power is cut to the building, right. 

A34: Ops confirms. The building is physically disconnected from 
power grid. 

A57: Why are the lights still on? 

G01: We're not here to speculate - just to find whatever is causing 
this, and to get out. 

A29: Damn, it's so hot here. 

G01: The eggheads actually anticipated that. Our operations are to 
be limited to prevent fatigue, overheating, and dehydration. 
A12: Do you guys feel that? Something is wrong with the floor... 
G01: What do you mean? 

A12: Permission to investigate. 

G01: A57, A34, check the perimeter, make sure we're clear. 
(pause) 

A384: Clear. 

A57: Clear. 

G01: Permission granted. 

A12: There's some sort of vibration travelling through the floor. 
(no recorded chatter for 123 seconds) 

A12: It's... intermittent. Thirty to forty second bursts of vibration 
followed by a five to ten second rest. 

G01: All right. We're heading deeper into the structure. 


Addendum: Prior to being removed from the power grid, 
investigation had shown that the structure was actually pumping 
power in the grid. 


Seismic sensor external to the site did not pick up any vibration, 
even while a great number of human figures were seen to be 
moving within the structure.

A29: I've got a contact at 10 o'clock! 

A48: I've got a contact too! 

G01: No appearance of hostility... Just watch them. 

A29: Oh god. What's wrong with their faces? 

G01: We'll get samples on our way out. For now, let's finish up 
investigation of the first floor and make our way to the second. A12,

SCP-2207: Dimensional Razor 


Item #: SCP-2207 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2207 is to be contained in 
a small cardboard box filled with foam, within a standard safe-class 
storage locker when not used for testing. All testing with SCP-2207 
is to be done in containment laboratory 8803. After testing, 
containment laboratory 8803 is to be decontaminated and checked 
for damage. 


As of test 42, exploration by D-class and/or Foundation personnel 
beyond SCP-2207-1 instances are preemptively denied. 


As of Incident 2207-01, all tests involving SCP-2207 are to be 
suspended. 


Description: SCP-2207 isa ___ brand disposable plastic knife. 
Testing has indicated that, outside of SCP-2207's anomalous 
properties, it is identical to other non-anomalous disposable plastic 
knives. 


When the cutting edge of SCP-2207 reaches a minimum speed of 
6 m/s!, it severs local space-time, creating a rift that connects to a 
random alternate universe. These rifts are designated as 
SCP-2207-1. 


Instances of SCP-2207-1 typically last approximately five minutes 
without outside intervention, and the length is equal to the distance 
that SCP-2207 traveled at or above 6m/s. Instances remain 
stationary after creation, but may be widened by pulling along the 
edges. Instances may be kept artificially open for a maximum of 24 
hours by placing any material across the instance's threshold. After 
24 hours, the SCP-2207-1 instance closes, severing any material 
crossing the threshold. 


Exploration Log: The following is a partial, abridged exploration 
log. See Document 2207-24 for a full log of tests, explorations, and 
recovered material from SCP-2207-1 instances. In all tests, a 
mechanical arm was used to create SCP-2207-1 instances, and the 
SCP-2207-1 instance was propped open by a set of metal braces. It 
has been later determined that at least three other alternate realities 
accessed by different SCPs, including SCP-1165, may be the result 
of prior testing with SCP-2207. 


Show exploration log. 


Date: 19 -06-12 

Test #: 10 

Exploration #: 1 

Type: D-Class only, equipped with standard 
recovery harness and cable, radio/video 
umbilical, and Level C PPE. 

Test time: 24 hours. 


Overview: The breach point of Universe-10 is 
in a hallway, with white walls, fluorescent 
lighting, and tiled floor. A set of double doors is 
on the opposite side. D-2207-1 does not report 
any unusual sensations upon breaching the 
SCP-2207-1 instance, and is instructed to 
pass through the double doors. 


One minute into the test, D-2207-1 reports that 
he is no closer to the doors than when he 
started. Video confirms this. However, 84 
meters of recovery cable and umbilical has 
been fed through the SCP-2207-1 instance, 
and visual inspection from outside the instance 
indicates that D-2207-1 has walked halfway 
through the hallway. 


D-2207-1 is instructed to keep moving forward, 
and complies despite mild protest. After two 
more minutes, D-2207-1 reports that he is still 
no closer to the doors. Video confirms this, 
and an additional 168 meters of cable and 


umbilical has been fed through the 
SCP-2207-1 instance. Visual inspection from 
the outside of the SCP-2207-1 instance 
indicates that D-2207-1 has still not moved 
more than halfway through the hallway. 


At this point, D-2207-1 is recalled. From the 
outside of the SCP-2207-1 instance, D-2207-1 
is seen to turn around. D-2207-1 reports that 
the SCP-2207-1 instance is much further, with 
video indicating a distance of approximately 
250 meters. D-2207-1 runs towards the 
SCP-2207-1 instance, while the recall cable is 
activated. D-2207-1 is visibly seen to run in 
place from the exterior of the SCP-2207-1 
instance. 


252 meters of recovery cable has been 
recalled after 30 seconds, filling the spool. 
Research personnel begin to physically pull on 
the recovery cable, trying to manually recall 
D-2207-1. D-2207-1 reports that he's no closer 
than before to the SCP-2207-1 instance. 


Three minutes and thirty seconds into the test, 
D-2207-1 is instructed to stop moving, and 
given the explanation that technical difficulties 
compounded by his movement are hampering 
recovery efforts. 


An additional 108 meters of recovery cable 
and video umbilical is manually recalled over 
the next thirty seconds, with researchers 
noting that they don't feel any additional weight 
on the other end. Video and observation from 
the SCP-2207-1 instance indicates that 
D-2207-1 looks behind him. Video shows that 
the double doors appear to be much further 
behind him than before, and D-2207-1 begins 
to run towards the SCP-2207-1 instance. 


Ten hours into the test, D-2207-1 has largely 
stopped his attempts at self-recovery. During 
this period of time, D-2207-1 was seen to 
alternate between running, walking, jogging, 
and sobbing. 


Exploration ends after a period of 24 hours, 
due to the forced closure of the SCP-2207-1 
instance. Metal braces, the recovery cable, 
and the radio/video umbilical are severed. 
D-2207-1 is not recovered, and an additional 

meters of recovery cable and radio/video 
umbilical were recovered. Examination of the 
recovered cable and umbilical indicate no 
deviances from Foundation standard, apart 
from the anomalously added length. 


Date: 19 -06-27 

Test #: 25 

Exploration #: 15 

Type: D-Class only, equipped with EEG cap2, 
standard recovery harness and cable, radio/ 
video umbilical, and Level C PPE. 

Test Time: 16 minutes, 32 seconds. 


Overview: The breach point of Universe-25 is 
a small alley of a large, unnamed city. 
D-2207-7 reports a sensation of vertigo upon 
breaching the SCP-2207-1 instance. During 
the immediate stages of exploration, materials 
are recovered (mostly refuse), and D-2207-7 
reports three additional vertigo-like sensations 
and an occasional stare from inhabitants of 
Universe-25. The latter is determined not to be 
a breach of exploration protocol, as D-2207-7 
is dressed in level C PPE. 


At approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds 
into the test, D-2207-7 reports a fifth sensation 
of vertigo, and levels of ambient light begin to 
notably diminish. D-2207-7 looks up (without 


being directed) towards the sun. The sun 
appears to be undergoing a solar eclipse. 
However, the occluding object does not pass 
over the sun, but instead appears to originate 
from the center of the sun. 


After one minute and thirty seconds, the 
unknown object has fully occluded the sun, 
including the corona. D-2207-7 is ordered to 
come back, but is unable to as the unknown 
occluding object appears to attract objects on 
the ground. Video indicates D-2207-7, as well 
as other individuals, vehicles, and other 
objects are lifted into the air, moving towards 
the unknown occluding object. The attracting 
force does not extend past the SCP-2207-1 
instance. There is no meaningful 
communication from D-2207-7 during this 
period of time. 


The recall cable is activated, and D-2207-7 is 
recovered within one minute. The metal braces 
propping the SCP-2207-1 instance is removed, 
and the instance is allowed to close naturally. 


Date: 19 -07-10 

Test #: 38 

Exploration #: 28 

Type: D-Class only, equipped with EEG cap, 
standard recovery harness and cable, radio/ 

video umbilical, and Level C PPE. 

Test Time: 2 hours, 38 minutes, 18 seconds. 


Overview: The breach point of Universe-38 
appears to be in a farmland, currently growing 
a crop visually similar to Zea mays subsp. 
mays (maize or corn). D-2207-14 begins 
limited recovery of crop samples. 


After one hour, D-2207-14 returns with 
gathered samples and passes through the 


for the log? 

A12: Examination of contacts. Subjects appear human with some 
sort of... growths all over them. The contacts are remaining in one 
spot, but swaying back and forth. The portions of their eyes that | 
can see that have not been covered by boils show only sclera. 
G01: A34? 

A34: Rooms appear empty, in disarray. Some of the beds show 
some sort of... brown fluid covering them. This fluid can also be 
seen on the floors. 

A12: It almost seems like... the lights above the contacts are 
brighter. 


Addendum: Samples were unable to be taken of "brown fluid” 
before it was required to destroy and sterilize the site of 
investigation.

G01: We are making our way up the stairs, about to open doors to 
the second floor. A34?

G01: What do you see? 

A34: They're... everywhere. They're filling the hallways. They're 
making... some sort of sound.

SCP-2207-1 instance. Research personnel 
note that all samples are of low quality, heavily 
blighted and easily destroyed by light handling. 
D-2207-14 claims that none of the samples 
she recovered were blighted when questioned. 
Review of video confirms D-2207-14's 
account. 


D-2207-14 is sent to recover new samples 
from Universe-38, after being equipped with 
twenty four re-sealable bio-safe sample bags. 
Upon breaching the SCP-2207-1 instance at 
one hour and thirty minutes into the test, she 
reports that all plant life within two meters of 
the SCP-2207-1 instance have withered. Video 
and observation from SCP-2207-1 confirms 
this. 


D-2207-14 notes that wind speed is 
increasing, and discovers a structure similar to 
a barn at the two hour mark. She is instructed 
to go inside. 


The interior of the barn-like structure does not 
significantly differ from barns in working farms, 
being used for storage for a variety of tools 
and packaged plant matter visually similar to 
hay. D-2207-14 is instructed to gather samples 
of the hay-like plant matter and two easily- 
carried tools. 


D-2207-14 travels to the upper floor of the 
barn-like structure and approaches a window. 
The location of the breach point of Universe-38 
is visible due to the withered plants 
surrounding the instance. Observation 
indicates that the wind is rapidly spreading the 
withering or blighting effect. 


D-2207-14 reports that she hears a noise from 
the lower level of the barn-like structure and 


investigates. A male individual, wearing blue 
overalls, a gray t-shirt, a hat made of a straw- 
like material, and carrying a rifle of unknown 
make and model is seen inspecting the 
recovery cable and radio/video umbilical. 


D-2207-14 is instructed to switch her radio to 
free-range mode and to press the quick- 
release button on the recovery harness. 
D-2207-14 complies, and is instructed to leave 
the barn-like structure and return to the 
SCP-2207-1 instance. Site- 's armed 
containment response unit is called to 
containment laboratory 8803 as a 
precautionary measure. 


At two hours and twenty three minutes, 
D-2207-14 reports that she has left the barn, 
but the individual from the barn had spotted 
her and started firing his rifle. Gunshots and 
yelling in an unknown language can be heard 
over the radio. The recall cable is activated. 


D-2207-14 reaches the SCP-2207-1 instance 
at two hours and thirty minutes into the 
exploration. The unknown individual is seen 
entering the withered/blighted area, and falls to 
the ground before Site- 's armed containment 
response unit can fire. The individual's body is 
subsequently seen to rapidly mummify. 
D-2207-14 is instructed to recover the 
unknown individual's body, and eventually 
complies. The instance is allowed to naturally 
close. 


The second set of recovered samples do not 
show signs of the blighting effect that the first 
had. The unknown individual was found to be 
carrying identification in a wallet, along with 
several examples of paper currency and a set 
of photos, presumably of family members. All 


information in the wallet is in an unknown and 
currently undeciphered script. The recovered 
tools were determined to be functionally 
identical to a dulled hand scythe anda 
hacksaw. 


D-2207-14 died shortly after the test, 
mummifying thirty minutes after the 
exploration, likely due to the blighting effect. 
The effect was found to not be communicable 
from D-2207-14's body, the body of the 
unknown individual from Universe-38, or any 
recovered material. 


Date: 19 -07-14 

Test #: 42 

Exploration #: 32 

Type: D-Class only, equipped with EEG cap, 
standard recovery harness and cable, radio/ 
video umbilical, and Level C PPE. 

Test Time: 24 hours. 


Overview: The breach point of Universe-42 is 
a grassy field, with the skyline of an unknown 
city visible approximately two to three 
kilometers away from the breach point. 
D-2207-16 is instructed to pass through the 
SCP-2207-1 instance. 


D-2207-16 is seen to breach SCP-2207-1, and 
subsequently appears to freeze in place once 
fully through. Video feed is still operational, 
and requests to ascertain D-2207-16's status 
are unanswered. EEG shows a sudden 
increase of alpha brainwave activity. The recall 
cable is activated after thirty seconds. 


The recall cable snaps at the SCP-2207-1 
instance, also severing the radio/video 
umbilical. Visual observation from the 
SCP-2207-1 instance shows that the umbilical 


and recall cable beyond the threshold remain 
slack. 


Recovery attempts are made with a variety of 
tools, including hooked poles. However, all 
attempts fail in a similar manner to the recall 
cable, with objects quickly becoming stuck 
after exposure to the environment beyond the 
SCP-2207-1 instance. It is also discovered that 
the metal braces remain immobile. 


Exploration ends after a period of 24 hours, 
due to the forced closure of the SCP-2207-1 
instance. Metal braces and all tools used in the 
recovery attempt are severed. D-2207-16 is 
not recovered. 


Note: Due to the attrition rate of D-class and 
near-certainty of hostile and/or dangerous 
conditions beyond SCP-2207-1 instances, 
remote control drones with audio/video 
feedback are to be used for all further tests 
involving SCP-2207. 


Date: 19 -07-28 

Test #: 56 

Exploration #: 46 

Type: Remote controlled drone with audio/ 
video feedback. 

Test time: 35 minutes, 45 seconds. 


Overview: The breach point of Universe-56 
appears to be within a borough or small 
suburb outside of a large city. The drone is 
deployed. 


Within one minute, the skyscrapers of the city 
are seen to sag, causing a mild panic from 
individuals within the suburb. The sagging 
becomes more defined as the exploration 
continues. By three minutes, the skyscrapers 


appear to begin melting, and the sagging 
effect is now seen on the houses of the 
suburb. The sagging effect passes to 
individuals after five minutes. 


By ten minutes, almost all visible objects have 
turned to puddles, and the controller of the 
drone notes difficulty in controlling the drone. 
After fifteen minutes, the drone becomes 
unresponsive to controls and falls to the 
ground. 


A second drone is deployed, while video data 
is still received from the first, which 
progressively distorts as the exploration goes 
on. 


After twenty-five minutes, the controller of the 
second drone reports difficulties with the 
drone's movement. The second drone is 
recalled, as no significantly new data was 
recorded. The metal braces are removed, and 
the SCP-2207-1 instance is allowed to close. 


Inspection of the second drone shows that all 
load-bearing surfaces are heavily warped, with 
sagging effects on the remaining surfaces. The 
side of the metal braces exposed to 
Universe-56 are also found to be warped. 
Strength and compression tests indicates that 
the affected material does not deviate from 
non-affected material. 


Date: 19 -10-06 

Test #: 126 

Exploration #: 116 

Type: Remote controlled drone with audio/ 
video feedback. 

Test Time: 1 hour, 21 minutes, 36 seconds. 


Overview: The breach point of Universe-126 


is a glade in a temperate forest, during the 
day. The drone is deployed, and occasional 
faint, jagged lines are seen in the ground, sky, 
and air. The lines appear to be harmless to the 
drone. 


After three minutes, the lines are distinct 
enough to continuously observe, with the 
highest concentration forming around the 
SCP-2207-1 instance. 


After ten minutes, sections of the sky are 
rendered as blue with the phrase "[NO 
SIGNAL]" visible in white. Visual observation 
from the SCP-2207-1 instance indicates that 
the sections appear black. 


By twenty minutes, the entire sky is rendered 
in blue with the phrase "[NO SIGNAL]" in 
white. Sunlight is still visible, though without an 
apparent source. 


Forty minutes into the exploration, sections of 
the ground are rendered in blue with the 
phrase "[NO SIGNAL]" visible in white. One of 
these sections appears under a tree, which 
subsequently falls. The tree is not visible as it 
passes into the "[NO SIGNAL]" patch. 


One hour into the exploration, the "[NO 
SIGNAL]" patches begin to form in the air, with 
the ones on the ground expanding and new 
ones forming. 


After an hour and fifteen minutes, the drone is 
recalled as the "[NO SIGNAL]" patches make 
further exploration difficult. The controller is 
unable to successfully navigate the drone 
back, causing it to become disabled and fall to 
the ground. 


Two minutes later, a "[NO SIGNAL]" patch 
forms on the ground beneath the drone, and 
contact is subsequently lost. 


The metal braces are removed from the 
SCP-2207-1 instance, and it is allowed to 
naturally close.

SCP-2208: Deus in Furno 


Item #: SCP-2208 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2208 is to be kept in a 
Level 4 secure storage locker in Site-57. Personnel wishing to 
access SCP-2208 must obtain permission from the Site Director. 
Instances of SCP-2208-A are to be cataloged and placed in non- 
hazardous storage.! Full-body protection must be worn at all times 
when testing SCP-2208. 


Description: SCP-2208 is a 2-quart -brand stainless steel 
saucepan. The inside is coated in a nonstick polymer believed to be 
polytetrafluoroethylene.? The handle has been modified to include a 
USB standard-A receptacle, the purpose of which has yet to be 
determined investigation of which is pending.? SCP-2208 does not 
transfer heat as a stainless steel saucepan should, and heat testing 
up to 2,300°C has been unable to warm its surface. 


When a human subject makes skin contact with any part of 
SCP-2208, there is a 29% chance the subject will be transformed 
into a saucepan (SCP-2208-A) in a process that takes ~0.8 
seconds. Instances of SCP-2208-A match SCP-2208's appearance, 
apart from the lack of USB receptacle; they are otherwise non- 
anomalous. Subjects unaffected by initial contact with SCP-2208 are 
able to safely handle it thereafter.4 A predictive pattern of 
SCP-2208's effects has yet to be determined. 


Interview 2208-01 
Interviewed: J Nunez 
Interviewer: Agent Alvarez-Montana 


Foreword: SCP-2208 was recovered from the home of 


J Nufez of Westway, Texas, USA, along with 145 
other saucepans believed to be instances of SCP-2208- 
A. The home was raided after a four-month federal 
investigation into the disappearances of more than 
individuals from the area. Foundation agents embedded 
with the FBI were alerted to SCP-2208's anomalous 
properties after 3 federal and 1 Foundation agent were 
converted into instances of SCP-2208-A. The object was 
recovered by a federal agent immune to its effects, and 
Ms. Nufhez was questioned by the Foundation. Interview 
translated from Spanish. 


<Begin Log> 


Agent Alvarez: What can you tell us about the 
saucepan we recovered from your home? The one that 
transforms people. 


Ms. Nunez: God created man in His own image. 
Agent Alvarez: | don't understand. 
Ms. Nunez: God does not make mistakes. 


Agent Alvarez: | don't know what you mean. Maybe you 
can explain why you haven't been changed? I'm sure 
you've touched it. Is there a reason why some are 
changed and some aren't? 


Ms. Nunez: You and I, we are unworthy. | brought more 
and more faithful to him, yet still am | forsaken. [begins to 
cry] Why am | not worthy? 


Agent Alvarez: Make sure you tell the Bureau about that 
later. foauses] Are you sure you don't know anything 
more about how it works, or why? 


Ms. Nunez: God does not make mistakes, Mister Agent. 
If God were to change, His image would change, also.

Closing Statement: Ms. Nunez was remanded to FBI 
custody after a standard containment period and 
administration of amnestics. She cooperated with 
authorities in locating the remains of the _ individuals 
not accounted for by SCP-2208-A instances and was 
charged in their deaths. 


Addendum 2208-02: On / /20 , while performing routine testing 
on SCP-2208's USB receptacle, Junior Researcher L was 
simultaneously recharging an MP3 player via USB on the test 
computer, in violation of testing procedures. After testing was 
complete, Junior Researcher L_ discovered a new file on his 
device, named "un_w721g.mp3" and remanded his MP3 player to 
custody for study. A transcript of the audio file follows. 


[File begins with 4 seconds of white noise, followed by a 
surprised feminine voice.] 


Ow! What? What's this? Hello? Is that you guys? Listen, 
| haven't had anything to work with in like two months. Is 
that why you missed my last couple paychecks? It's been 
a while. I'm not a charity here! I've got expenses! And all 
these other people you sent in, they're starting to smell. 
It's been a while. Look, either you get me some new 
material, you pay me, or you find yourself a new 
employee. Once | figure out how to get out of here, 
anyway. It's been a while. 


Containment procedures are currently under review.

SCP-2209: Virtual Reality 


Item #: SCP-2209 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2209-1 is housed in 
Secure Storage Unit B-89 at Site-151, with a power outlet modified 
to comply with SCP-2209-1's wiring system and power 
requirements. SCP-2209-1 is only to be connected to a power 
source during authorized testing. When testing is not underway, 
SCP-2209-2 is to be stored in a standard inanimate item 
containment locker in Secure Storage Unit B-89. Further testing of 
scenarios in "Ultra-Realism Mode" requires the authorization and 
presence of a researcher with minimum Level 3/2209 clearance. 


Description: SCP-2209-1 is a hollow spherical object with a 
diameter of approximately 3.8 metres. The outer surface of 
SCP-2209-1 is composed of stainless steel and bears no textural 
irregularities, with the exception of a circular entry hatch, a single 
ventilation grate for the intake/output of air, and a socket connected 
to a large cluster of removable power and data cabling. A hand lever 
adjacent to the socket allows power to SCP-2209-1 to be alternated 
on and off. The hatch is opened and sealed by means of a timed 
pressure-release mechanism with an embedded handle. Large black 
print on one side of SCP-2209-1 reads "VRZ PRT-TYP 4512". The 
internal surface of SCP-2209-1 is composed of white HDPE plastic 
with an array of electrical lighting and evenly spaced, circular plates 
of a currently unidentified metal alloy. 


SCP-2209-2 is a full-body suit composed of an inner layer of 
elastane and a thin outer layer of dark neoprene. Multiple metal 
nodes on the limbs, hands, chest, and spine of the suit are 
connected by a complex network of wiring. Fixed to the head of the 
suit is a large headset with a visor, which connects to a network of 
smaller, more closely-spaced cranial nodes. 


When provided with an adequate power source, SCP-2209-1 is 
capable of recreating a number of complex, presumably 
predetermined virtual reality scenarios for the subject wearing 
SCP-2209-2. Test subjects have consistently attested to the total 
verisimilitude of said scenarios, experiencing sensations and 
physical effects that cannot be accurately replicated using current 
conventional technology (refer to Test Log). Upon being sealed 
within SCP-2209-1 and stepping onto a large central plate, the 
subject is prompted by an artificial androgynous voice! to select a 
scenario. Following voice confirmation, the chosen virtual scenario 
will be recreated for the subject. 


SCP-2209-1 and SCP-2209-2 were recovered from a suspected 
Prometheus Labs facility in , South Africa on /02/2007, 
following a tip received from a Foundation agent operating in the 
area. A thorough search determined the facility to be abandoned, 
and failed to produce any links to Prometheus Labs Inc. However, 
recovered documentation contained multiple references to Simtec 
Virtual Solutions, an unlisted company. 


Addendum: 


Following Test 2209-024515-B ( /04/2007), it has been determined 
that SCP-2209-1 possesses limited sapience, and is capable of 
coherent interaction with subjects. Testing aimed at determining the 
full extent of SCP-2209-1's sapience is currently under 
consideration. 


For further details, see Test Log 2209-024515.

Dr. Davids: Can you describe to me what you're seeing? 


D-5081: Can't see shit through this thing over my face, 
man... wait - | can see myself! 


Dr. Davids: What do you mean? 


D-5081: It's like I'm looking at myself through a whole 
bunch of cameras. I'm in a big round room. Well, more 
like I'm inside a giant hamster ball. The walls are white 


and covered in all these little metal circles. And there's a 
big circle in the middle in front of me, with blue lights all 
around it. 


Dr. Davids: Walk towards it. 
D-5081: Okay. Damn this feels weird. 
[Subject regains orientation and steps onto central plate]

is in here! It's frickin' incredible! 


Dr. Davids: Please stop shouting. Try to interact with 
one of the projections. 


D-5081: Okay. Hello?! Corey?! [brief pause] He's just 
ignoring me. 


Dr. Davids: Oh well. End the test then. 


D-5081: No man, wait! There's something | have to do 
first; I'll probably never get this chance again. 


[Subject takes three steps forwards, then launches 
himself into the air. Subject does not fall. Subject 
remains suspended an estimated 0.8 metres in the air.] 


Dr. Davids: D-5081... how are you doing that? 


D-5081: Doing what? I'm crowd-surfing, man! | can feel 
them pushing me up! 


Dr. Davids: Interesting... End the test now. 
D-5081: Do | have to? 


Dr. Davids: You will comply with orders, D-5081. | 
repeat: end the test. 


D-5081: Okay, okay, I'll make it stop. Computer guy? 
Computer guy! Stop the concert! 


SCP-2209-1: Would you like to exit this scenario? 
D-5081: Yes. 
SCP-2209-1: Exiting scenario. 


[Sounds of music and cheering cease. Subject falls to 
the floor.] 


SCP-2209-1: Would you like to rate your experience on 
a scale of one to ten? 


D-5081: ...fuck. 


SCP-2209-1: Thank you! Would you like to try another 
scenario? 


<end transcript> 


D-5081 reprimanded. Injuries negligible. D-5081 requested to 
participate in further testing. Request granted on condition that 
subject co-operate fully with the test controller. 


| am very intrigued as to how SCP-2209 was able to achieve an

D-5081: No, Four-Five. 


SCP-2209-1: Generating scenario: Zero-G Training. 
Mode: Standard. 


[Subject rises approximately 1.2 metres into the air. 
Gravimeter measures subject's gravitational acceleration 
as exactly 0.0 m/s squared.] 


D-5081: Wow... Doc, I'm floating in space. There's stars 
going on for... forever. 


Dr. Davids: Try moving around. 

[Subject waves arms and legs in a "swimming" motion] 
Dr. Davids: Are you going anywhere, 5081? 

D-5081: | feel like | am. | dunno, | guess | can't really tell. 


SCP-2209-1: Would you like to try another version of this 
scenario? 


D-5081: Lay it on me. This is getting kinda boring 
anyway. 


[The internal surface of SCP-2209-1 begins to rotate. 
After three seconds, the sound of rushing air emanates 
from SCP-2209-1's speaker system. Subject begins 
spinning wildly in mid-air.] 


D-5081: [screams] 


SCP-2209-1: Please wait fifty-three seconds to reach 
terminal velocity. 


D-5081: (shouting) Four-Five, end the scenario! 


SCP-2209-1: Are you sure you would like to exit this 


G01: That doesn't matter. They're coming closer. We have to get 
out. Weapons free. 

A57: Yes, sir! 

(static for 37 seconds) 

Unknown: In prehistory, the essence of life waited in the darkness. 
Its children turned against it. Now, all will be returned to the 
essence. 


Addendum: Past this point, no further portions of the log can be 
salvaged. A29, A57, and GO1 escaped from the hospital. 
Sterilization protocol was enacted minutes later, as it appeared 
several of the infected hosts were attempting to escape from the 
structure. 


The three survivors of the infiltration team were placed in 
quarantine, and samples of SCP-253 were obtained from them. 
Though treatment was attempted, none of them survived past five 
days. 


A48 was lost in the retreat, and unfortunately, his camera was 
unable to be salvaged. Though wireless backup protocols were in 
use, the distortion effect in the hospital meant a great deal of the 
photographic evidence collected in Incident |.J77.82 is fragmentary. 


A48's and A34's corpses were found, badly burned. Remains 
identifiable as A12 were not recovered. Other human remains were 
found, but with no recognizable trace of SCP-253. The sterilization 
site has been determined to be devoid of all traces of SCP-253, and 
will leave Foundation custody six months after the release of this 
Incident report. 


End of Incident report I.J77.82

Dr. Davids: Describe. 


D-5081: It seems mostly ordinary. There's a couch, a TV, 
some shelves with pictures. But it's so... quiet. Some 
parts of the place look kind of funny, too; like they don't 


belong here. 
Dr. Davids: Noted. Explore the area. 


[Subject begins walking in place. Internal surface of 
SCP-2209-1 rotates as subject moves.] 


D-5081: There's an open door here. Looks like it leads to 
a basement. | can see a red light and... what is that? 
[pause] What are those things?! 


[Subject raises hands in a firing position. Two gunshots 
heard.] 


D-5081: (panicked) Stay away from me! [Five more 
gunshots] They're still coming! Four-Five, end the 
scenario! End it right now!

Highly unlikely; there have been no reported failures in the unit's 
electromagnetic isolation field since SCP-2209 was brought into 
containment, and our network is secure. | think the more appropriate 
question to ask would be "Who made this thing?"- Dr. — Carter

SCP-2209-1: Would you like to try our new Ultra-Realism 
Mode? 


Dr. Davids: Say yes. 
D-5081: Yes. 
[No response for five seconds] 


SCP-2209-1: Generating scenario: Combat Training. 
Mode: Ultra-Realism. 


[Sounds of distant heavy artillery emanate from the 
speaker system. Subject appears surprised, covering his 
head with his hands and rapidly shifting his gaze around 
the room.] 


D-5081: Woah! 
Dr. Davids: Describe what you see. 


D-5081: I'm in a warzone! Looks like a desert; lots of 
sand, and the air is all hot and dry. Tanks, helicopters 
flying everywhere, soldiers with guns... alright, | get one 
too! [subject positions hands as if carrying a rifle] Damn, 
this thing is a lot heavier than before. Uh, all the soldier 
guys are running towards this fortress-type place. 


Dr. Davids: Follow them. 


D-5081: Yes sir! 


[Subject commences running. Internal surface of 
SCP-2209-1 rotates as subject runs in place. After 2 
minutes and 32 seconds, multiple gunshots and screams 
are heard. Subject yells and assumes a prone position.] 


D-5081: Doctor Davids, th-this is crazy! People are 
getting their arms and I-l-legs blown off! | can't even see 
who's shooting at us! 


Dr. Davids: It's not real, 5081. You won't be hurt. Keep 
moving and see if you can get inside that fortress. 


D-5081: O-okay.

SCP-254: Employee of the Month 


Item #: SCP-254 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-254 is to be kept ina 
standard storage locker when not in use. When in storage, it must 
be placed face-down on the floor of the locker and secured with 
straps to prevent accidental activation. Use of SCP-254 may be 
requested by any department head, and must be approved by at 
least two (2) level-3 personnel. SCP-254 may not be used ina 
capacity that will result in SCP-254-1’s contact with SCPs posing a 
memetic contagion hazard. Under no circumstances is SCP-254 to 
be active in a single department or area for longer than twenty-six 
(26) days. Reuse is permitted only if the area in question has 
undergone a complete personnel rotation (i.e. no employees remain 
who have had previous contact with SCP-254). 


Description: SCP-254 is a rectangular wooden plaque measuring 
22 cm x 30 cm and weighing approximately 1.5 kg. On the front of 
the plaque is an empty brass picture holder, as well as a printed 
metal plate with a black background and gold-colored letters reading 
“Employee of the Month.” Affixed to the back of the plaque is a 
standard hanging device. 


SCP-254 was discovered in the rubble of a Texaco gas station in 

, Kansas, on / /195 .A Foundation agent secured SCP-254 
after discovering that it had sustained no damage in the explosion 
that had leveled the gas station and resulted in the deaths of 
employees and civilians . 


When SCP-254 is hung on a wall in a work area of 4 or more 
people, SCP-254-1 will appear soon afterward. SCP-254-1 will 
arrive either at the end of the next designated break period, or at the 
beginning of the following work shift. SCP-254-1 is an incorporeal 
human of variable gender, age, race, name, and appearance, able 


supply. Subject collapses. ]

Present technician suffered permanent hearing damage. D-5081 
remained unconscious, and was removed from SCP-2209-2. 
Medical examination indicates that D-5081 is in a persistent 
vegetative state. 


Requesting permission to personally euthanize D-5081. Additionally 
requesting that testing of SCP-2209 in "Random" scenarios be 
suspended for the foreseeable future. - Dr. Davids 


Request approved. - Site Director J 


SCP-2210: Policy #40535: Anomalous Intelligence 


Item #: SCP-2210 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2210's website, IP 
address and phone number have been blocked through Foundation 
protocols. The apartment complex that houses SCP-2210 has been 
purchased through Foundation front companies, and is to be 
inhabited specifically by local researchers that are unaware of 
SCP-2210 (for records of inhabitants, see Document 2210-2). 


To facilitate intelligence gathering on major Groups of Interest, a 
contract with SCP-2210 has been made using D-18272. In 
exchange for a current premium of $1483 under "Policy #40535", 
SCP-2210 has made records of deals with other Groups of Interest 
available to Foundation researchers in the Archive Wing of Site-42. 


For the sake of preserving Policy #40535, D-18272 has been 
granted a reprieve from testing SCPs and monthly termination, as 
well as temporary housing near SCP-2210. Researchers assigned 
to the location of SCP-2210 are to be informed that D-18272 isa 
Foundation agent with a classified objective. Every thirty (30) days 
as of 8/24/65, D-18272 is to deliver the monthly premium to 
SCP-2210. Following this, he is to be stored using a Temporal 
Arresting Pod, and when the contract needs to be paid, revived and 
briefed using Document 2210-A. 


Description: SCP-2210 is an insurance company that specializes 
exclusively in anomalous objects and incidents. The company's 
phone numbers begin with the extension "7-3i"; the company 
website, www. .com, lists the company's address as "4i 
Quarternion Ave., Los Angeles, CA, 90001", and directions available 
on the website lead to a non-anomalous apartment complex in the 
same area. If a person with knowledge of SCP-2210 and its purpose 
enters the complex, they will enter an extra-dimensional space 


inhabited by SCP-2210 that resembles a modern office complex. 
The inhabitants of SCP-2210 (termed SCP-2210-1), resemble non- 
anomalous humans in modern business attire with the company 
name stitched onto their shirts, but their only communication with 
entrants is to convince them into signing a contract. 


When a person enters SCP-2210, an instance of SCP-2210-1 
resembling a Caucasian human of the opposite sex will approach 
them with specific information pertaining to said person. Invariably, 
each instance will greet the entrant with their name and a quick 
blurb about SCP-2210. Rather than allow the entrant to choose a 
contract, the instance will then suggest a specific insurance contract 
that invariably pertains to circumstances surrounding the entrant. 
Suggested contracts have ranged from "Replacement of Anomalous 
Object" to "Spatial Limb Reassignment" to "Removal of Eldritch 
Entity from Plane of Existence". 


Although SCP-2210 classifies all contracts as insurance policies, 
SCP-2210 will not only insure anomalous objects or incidents for 
mundane purposes, but also provide funding to purchase and/or 
study anomalous objects, supply various pieces of highly esoteric 
equipment, and generally perform various differing tasks and fulfill 
requests as long as they pertain to anomalous items or incidents in 
some way. According to documents acquired through "Anomalous 
Intelligence Policy 40535", SCP-2210 regularly services various 
Gol's such as Wondertainment Industries, The Serpent's Hand, 
Marshall, Carter, and Dark, and Are We Cool Yet?, although all 
entrants report seeing only SCP-2210-1 instances while within 
SCP-2210. 


When a contract is agreed to, the instance of SCP-2210-1 will 
produce a handwritten document from their person and a quill pen, 
which will be used by both the instance of SCP-2210-1 and the 
entrant to sign the document. Following this, the instance will 
produce a duplicate contract, with signatures included, which it will 
give to the policyholder. Although the individual details of contracts 
vary, all contracts require that the premium be paid in cash by the 
signee (hereby termed SCP-2210-2) to the instance that provided 
the contract, every 30 days from its signing. The monthly premium is 
also dependent on the contract, but is always a prime number. Each 


time the premium is paid, the instance of SCP-2210-1 tied to the 
contract will inform SCP-2210-2 that they may terminate the 
contract. 


In the event that a payment is not delivered on the 30th day, 
SCP-2210 will immediately cease to uphold the contract, causing 
the provided service to immediately disappear (equipment, 
personnel, replaced items, etc). Policyholders report seeing 
instances of SCP-2210-1 observing them from far away, appearing 
to say the words "Please terminate your contract at the earliest 
convenience to avoid any more late fees." As time passes, the 
signee will also begin to perceive all phone calls or physical letters 
addressed to them as containing the same message. 


Following failure of payment, an amount of money equivalent to the 
premium will disappear from the signee's possession within thirty 
days. This amount doubles each time, and appears under utility bills 
as" Insurance late fee". In addition, a form will appear in the 
presence of the policyholder, entitled "Late Fee Appeal", with 
instructions to fill out the form and bring it to SCP-2210 for an 
appeal. In the event that the policyholder lacks enough money to 
pay the late fee, object(s) of equivalent value will begin to disappear 
from their home or person, the "Late Fee Appeal" form appearing in 
said object's place. High-speed camera surveillance shows 
unknown individuals entering the residence, leaving the appeal form, 
and carrying off objects and possession that equal the value of the 
late fee. If the policyholder runs out of possessions and money, they 
will be accosted by an unknown individual in a business suit and 
mask, who will proceed to abduct them and carry them through the 
nearest doorway, whereupon the two will disappear. Victims of the 
full process have been observed working in SCP-2210, but ignore all 
attempts at interaction. 


If the signee tries to end the contract or brings in the late fee appeal 
form, they will be given a "Termination Regulation Information" form, 
and asked to fill it out completely and take it to another instance of 
SCP-2210-1 at a different office within the complex. The form uses 
complex jargon and terminology from various profession to request 
esoteric and seemingly useless personal information from the 
signee, such the blood type of the signee's paternal great- 


grandmother, the breed of the sire of their dog, and the country in 
which the transistors of their phone was manufactured. Although the 
questions have some pertinence to the signee, more often then not 
they appear to have been chosen at random. If any the questions on 
the form are not completely answered, the form will not be accepted 
by the next instance of SCP-2210-1, which will request that the form 
be fully completed. 


If the form is successfully handed in, the instance it is handed to will 
claim that eight weeks are needed to process the form, and ask the 
signee to leave and return after eight weeks. At the end of the eight 
weeks, the instance will claim that a bureaucratic incident has 
nullified the form, give the signee a similar form with different 
questions, and ask them to repeat the process. Successfully filling 
out this form has the same results, and so on and so forth. Attempts 
to terminate the contract are also hindered by the nature of the 
space inhabited by SCP-2210. Although it resembles an ordinary 
office complex, it is a large, labyrinthine complex that adheres to 
neither Euclidean geometry nor conventional time. Among other 
spatial paradoxes, it is possible to simultaneously enter and exit a 
room, walk on the ceilings and floor, and climb Penrose stairs. 


Addendum: " Policy #40535: Anomalous Intelligence" 

After researching various facets of SCP-2210, Dr. T __, the lead 
researcher assigned to SCP-2210, proposed using SCP-2210 as an 
intelligence-facilitating measure. The proposal was accepted 
following an 8-5 vote from the O5 council, and steps were taken to 
obtain a possible contract with minimal risk to Foundation assets. 
Using [DATA EXPUNGED], D-18272 was convinced of his identity 
as Foundation Agent , and ordered to accept an offer from 
SCP-2210 pertaining to anomalous intelligence. D-18272 was 
offered "Policy #40535: Anomalous Intelligence ", and accepted. 
Immediately following his acceptance, multiple documents were 
added by an unknown party to the server in Site-42's Archive Wing. 
Said documents are abstracts of insurance policies that appear to 
have been made with SCP-2210 by other Groups of Interest. Each 
week, the abstracts disappear through an unknown process and are 
replaced by new abstracts. 


The following list contains the policy abstracts provided during the 


current week. Copies of previous abstracts are located at the Site-42 
Archive Wing.

SCP-2211: A .wmv, a .wav, an .exe, and a Coffee 
Machine 


Item #: SCP-2211 
Object Class: Safe Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2211-1, -2 and -3 are kept 
on separate thumb drives in a standard small item containment 
locker. Due to space constraints, SCP-2211-4 is currently kept in a 
separate small item standard containment locker. Permission for 
testing SCP-2211-1 through -4 can be obtained from the Digital 
Anomalies Department by any relevant Level 3 personnel and 
above. 


As of 09/10/2014, SCP-2211 has been designated as Uncontained. 
Site resources will be dedicated towards discerning the true nature 
of SCP-2211, as well as reestablishing containment. 


Description: SCP-2211 is was a collection of four related anomalies 
first discovered in the offices of Hewlett-Packard in Shanghai. 


SCP-2211-1 is a 932 MB video file titled longsmile.wmv. When 
played, it shows a pair of smiling lips at the right edge of the screen, 
which open to reveal teeth. The camera then pans right throughout 
the rest of the video, continuously revealing more teeth. Though 
SCP-2211-1 is listed as being 55 seconds long, it will continue 
playing for more than 150 hours, the upper limit determined before 
testing was halted. SCP-2211-1 lacks an audio track. 


Playing SCP-2211-1 for more than 59 minutes and 20 seconds 
results in the device used to play SCP-2211-1 secreting a small 
amount (5-10 ml/min) of what has been determined to be human 
saliva. DNA testing has returned no positive matches with any 
known individual on record so far. 


SCP-2211-2 is a 2.0 MB audio file titled eyee(79).wav. Its contents 


vary with each playthrough, but generally consist of modulated static 
that cuts off occasionally every 2-10 seconds for approximately 0.3 
seconds. Like SCP-2211-1, SCP-2211-2 plays for more than 150 
hours, despite being listed as 3 minutes and 3 seconds long. Minor 
fluctuations of the static are detected at an approximate rate of 3 per 
second; this rate increases to 5 per second when SCP-221 1-2 is 
played on a device with an attached camera. 


Playing SCP-2211-2 on a device for more than 59 minutes and 20 
seconds results in the device secreting a clear fluid at a rate of 20 
ml/min, identified as a mixture of water and sodium chloride, with 
trace amounts of amino acids, glucathione, ascorbic acid and 
human collagen fibres. 


SCP-2211-3 is a 599 KB executable titled H.exe. When run ona 
computer, SCP-2211-3 uses a significant amount of memory, 
resulting in overheating and causing the built-in fans of the affected 
computer to speed up. Despite the damage caused by overheating, 
the affected computer will continue to run until it is forcibly 
disconnected from its power source. 


When run for more than 59 minutes and 20 seconds, air processed 
through the built-in fans of the affected computer begins to smell 
strongly of earwax. However, no traces of biological matter have 
been found in the processed air. The smell is undetectable below 
100 ppm, and this effect is absent when SCP-2211-3 is runona 
computer without a fan-operated cooling system. 


While SCP-2211-1 through -3 can be moved from one file directory 
to another without affecting their properties, copies of SCP-2211-1 
through -3 lack anomalous effects: copies of SCP-2211-1 will result 
in the video ending at the expected time, copies of SCP-2211-2 
consist entirely of unmodulated static ending at the expected time, 
and copies of SCP-2211-3 invariably fail to run. 


SCP-2211-4 is a coffee reheater powered by a USB adapter. When 
SCP-221 1-4 is plugged into the USB port of a computer, any liquid 
placed in its container will be heated to about 65°C, while also being 
transmuted into mucus at an average rate of 1 ml/min, regardless of 
whether said computer is powered on or not. Occasionally, 
SCP-221 1-4 will produce strands of human nose hair. DNA analysis 


reveals a match with the saliva produced by SCP-2211-1. 
Addendum SCP-2211-01: 


Transcript of Surveillance Log 20141006-B2-A4, 
0320h-0401h 


Begin log 


Sound of banging metal detected near 2nd floor of Wing 
B. Door of small item containment locker DAD-2838 is 
heavily deformed outwards, and has experienced a 
heavy impact from its inside. 


The sound of banging metal persists for the next 3 
minutes as the door of containment locker DAD-2838 
begins to burst outwards. Security teams are deployed to 
cordon off the area and manage the situation. 


Containment locker DAD-2838 is fully breached from the 
inside when a segmented humanoid arm emerges, 
extending to reveal numerous joints along its length. 
Security teams begin opening fire on the arm, to little 
effect. While the video feed shows that the arm 
terminates in a seven-fingered hand, personnel present 
on the scene reported a number of fingers ranging from 
five to "approximately thirty”. 


The arm repeatedly strikes, and breaches, the 
containment locker containing SCP-2211-4, 
approximately 5m from containment locker DAD-2838. It 
subsequently reaches for SCP-2211-4 and pulls it back 
into containment locker DAD-2838. 


No further activity detected. Arm presumed to have 
dematerialised. 


End log 


Upon examination of containment locker DAD-2838, no traces of the 
arm were discovered. 


to manipulate objects in the manner similar to that of a normal 
human of average strength and coordination. SCP-254-1 will adopt 
the appearance and persona of a model employee, based on an 
area’s memetic consensus. Once SCP-254-1’s appearance has 
been established, an image of SCP-254-1 that appears to be an 8 x 
10 glossy photograph fills the empty picture holder, and it will not 
change until SCP-254 is moved to a new location. Across the 
bottom of the photograph, in print, is the newly assumed name of 
SCP-254-1. The photograph cannot be removed from the picture 
holder by any known means, but it can be torn or ripped. Doing so in 
an aggressive or purposeful manner results in a violent reaction 
from SCP-254-1 (see attached recording SCP-254-a: [DATA 
EXPUNGED] the / / _ incident). 


Regardless of appearance, SCP-254-1 maintains a cheerful 
demeanor at all times. SCP-254-1 is able to carry on conversations 
about the weather, traffic, the previous night’s TV shows, sports, and 
other such topics, although SCP-254-1 will never discuss topics of 
which present individuals have no knowledge. Personnel assigned 
to work in an area where SCP-254 is in use do not appear alarmed 
by SCP-254-1’s incorporeal nature or sudden appearance, stating 
that SCP-254-1 “works here.” Due to local personnel’s reluctance to 
remove the plaque, or inability to remember to remove the plaque, 
removal is to be scheduled and performed by off-site personnel. 


SCP-254-1 is capable of performing menial tasks quickly and 
efficiently. When given tasks that require specialized training, 
although SCP-254-1 does not possess the required expertise, (s)he 
will attempt them with the usual good attitude, but will perform as 
well as an average person could be expected to perform. 
SCP-254-1 will continue to perform as exemplary an employee as 
possible for a length of time between 28-46 work days, usually 
ending at the conclusion of a calendar month. If SCP-254 is placed 
in a workplace several days into a calendar month, SCP-254-1 will 
act as an effective employee until the end of the following month, 
although due to the dangers posed by shifting memetic consensus, 
no use of SCP-254 for longer than 26 days is permitted. 


After the “month” has passed, if SCP-254 is not removed, 
SCP-254-1 will begin to degrade in performance, beginning with an 


Examination of containment locker DAD-2838 revealed that 
SCP-2211-1, -2 and -3 had been erased from their respective 
storage media. Furthermore, SCP-2211-4 ceased to exhibit any

SCP-2213: Cat People 


Item #: SCP-2213 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Should SCP-2213's cover 
begin to show any structural damage related to stress fracturing, the 
site director must oversee Operation Mu-4, unsealing the object and 
replacing the cover. 


Operation Mu-4's details may only be accessed by Site-131's 
director. Class C amnestics must be administered to the site director 
and any personnel involved in the execution of Mu-4 following the 
conclusion of the operation. 


Any SCP-2213-1 instances in Foundation custody are to be 
immediately terminated. Any future SCP-2213-1 instances are to be 
terminated through incineration immediately upon production 
(except as outlined in Operation Mu-4). 


Description: SCP-2213 is a door which, if uncovered, will produce 
an individual (referred to as an SCP-2213-1 instance) at intervals 
approximately two minutes apart. Beyond this production, the 
doorway appears entirely mundane, being composed of oak wood. 


A covering, which was installed shortly after discovery in 1964, has 
remained in place and prevents the production of SCP-2213-1 
instances. While covered, SCP-2213 produces audible vibrations at 
the same regular intervals as production events, however the 
covering has proven capable of preventing production events 
entirely. 


While superficially similar to humans, SCP-2213-1 instances lack 
the capacity for complex thought. SCP-2213-1 instances are 
completely hairless. Instances require little nutrition to survive (the 
longest contained subject's body continued functioning for seven 


months before succumbing to starvation), and are resistant to injury 
due to redundant internal organs. 


An instance's visual acuity is reduced significantly due to vertical slit 
pupils, while night vision is dramatically increased. Furthermore, 
despite lacking obvious sensory organs for the processing of 
auditory input, SCP-2213-1 instances have displayed behavior 
consistent with a capacity to observe sound.

Note 1: 


Hello. | don't know how to start this. My name 
is Dr. Jacobs. | was the site director in 2014 
during the last activation of Mu-4. I'm putting 
this here because there's nowhere else it can 
go. | did some digging so you wouldn't have to, 
but given the misinformation we've been fed, 
I'd strongly suggest you do some digging too. 
First off, the amnestic isn't something you can 
dodge. Your boss's boss got a message when 
you opened this file. So you've got a short 
window. Honestly, you'd be better off not 
knowing. 


SCP-2213 doesn't produce anything. It's a 
portal created by the SCP-2213-1 instances. | 
don't know why they're coming here... but | do 
know that every vibration is a body being flung 
across the void and hitting the barrier we put 
up over the door. And that the trip is one way. 
The original interview logs | found are heavily 
redacted, but there's enough there for me to 
know that these people are just as human as 
you and me, if a little different. We've killed 
one of these people every 2 minutes or so, 


every hour of every day. That's over a quarter 
million of these guys every year for 50 years. 


I've tried to read between the lines in the 
redacted interviews and logs, but I'm fairly 
certain the -1 instances are refugees. From 
what, | don't know yet, and | don't have time to 
find out. There was an incident in 1964, and 
the original project head decided at some point 
to close the thing off and to keep them and 
whatever was after them out. And he was 
aware this was a death sentence for anyone 
sent through. It's why all knowledge of this is 
heavily redacted. They didn't want to have to 
live with the knowledge of what they were 
doing. 


All the original researchers were amnesticized 
in 1965, along with the O5 who authorized the 
project. The containment procedures and 
misinformation have pretty much prevented 
the accumulation of any information on the 
object beyond that which was gathered early 
on, and most of that is deliberate 
misinformation now. 


| don't have enough information to make a 
definitive decision on this and | don't have time 
to get more. That's probably the point of the 
containment procedures in the first place. You 
need to get more information and leave it here 
for yourself or the next guy, and hope against 
hope they do the right thing with it. Yeah, 
these guys coming through would mean the 
end of secrecy on this project. There's no way 
we could've hidden 13 million hairless cat eyed 
people from the world. It doesn't matter. Find 
out more, and if I'm right, find a way to make it 
stop.

unhelpful attitude and forgetfulness. If SCP-254 is not removed, 
SCP-254-1 will become a worse and worse employee until “fired.” 
Firing can be represented by removing SCP-254 from the wall, or by 
informing SCP-254-1 of its termination. If SCP-254-1 is fired within 
approximately 20 days from the start of its decline in performance, 
SCP-254-1 simply leaves the area and disappears. Following 
cessation of employment after this point, SCP-254-1 will actively 
sabotage the work area in the most destructive manner possible, 
posing severe hazard to any nearby personnel. 


And the WORLD, people. We work with SCPs here, and if proper 
removal arrangements are not made with off-site security and 
documented with on-site security, the offending employee will find 
themselves jobless or worse. -O5- 


Addendum: Following Incident 254-0210g, all tests on employing 
SCP-254-1 beyond 26 days must be conducted at a separate site 
containing no other SCPs. NO EXCEPTIONS. -O5-

SCP-2214: Economy of Scale 


Item #: SCP-2214 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The entrance to SCP-2214 is to 
remain locked at all times. lron bars are fitted across all windows of 
SCP-2214 to prevent the entry of foreign objects. Foundation agents 
are to guard the apartments immediately adjacent, as well as above 
and below, SCP-2214, under the guise of residents of the building. 


Interaction with SCP-2214-1 through -1288 is forbidden under any 
circumstances. Any personnel seeking to enter SCP-2214 for 
purposes of research or documentation must first receive express, 
written permission from an onsite supervisor of level 3 or higher 
security clearance. 


Foundation personnel may only incorporate outside objects into 
SCP-2214 with the permission of a supervisor of level 4 or higher 
security clearance. 


Description: SCP-2214 is a 40 m2 apartment located in 
[REDACTED] Okrug, Moscow. The layout of SCP-2214 is consistent 
with late Soviet-era standards for single-resident apartments, and 
differs in no significant way from that of other units in the building. 


SCP-2214 contains 1288 objects, SCP-2214-1 through 
SCP-2214-1288, mostly typical belongings for a late Soviet-era 
apartment. The primary exception is SCP-2214-1280, the remains of 
Konstantin Baranov, former resident of SCP-2214. Any object that 
remains in SCP-2214 for 72 hours or more will be incorporated into 
SCP-2214. Once incorporated, it becomes physically impossible to 
remove an object from SCP-22141. 


SCP-2214-1 through SCP-2214-1288 change orientation and 
relative position to one another in response to changes in 


macroeconomic conditions of the former Soviet Union2. Each object 
is representative of a single macroeconomic factor, although the 
sheer number of SCP objects has made interpreting the movements 
of SCP-2214-1 through -1284 effectively impossible. However, 
Foundation researchers have made some progress in connecting 
the movements of objects with macroeconomic conditions; see 
Addendum 2214-W-78-091 for a partial list. 


Manually changing the position of SCP-2214-1 through -1288 effects 
changes in the economy of the former Soviet Union. The typical 
delay between the movement of an object and the economic 
changes that it effects is three days.

Discovery Log: The anomalous nature of SCP-2214 was 
discovered on October 17, 1990 when , the 
superintendent of the building housing SCP-2214, entered 
SCP-2214 to investigate complaints about an odor emanating from 
the apartment. Previously, tenants had complained about persistent 
noises from the apartment of Mr. Baranov, a deputy assistant sub- 
director at the Soviet State Planning Committee (Gosplan). 


Upon entering SCP-2214, Mr. found "plates flying everywhere 
and ghosts moving furniture.” In addition, Mr. located the 
remains of Mr. Baranov, who appeared to have been killed when a 
dresser? fell on top of him, crushing him. It was estimated that Mr. 
Baranov had been deceased roughly a week by the time of 
discovery. 


Calls from Mr. to the Moscow police were intercepted by agents 
of the GRU-P, who arrived on the scene and successfully secured 
the area. Mr. was detained and dosed with a class-R amnestic. 


In 1992, with the integration of several elements of the former GRU- 
P, the Foundation gained custody of SCP-2214. 


Footnotes 

1. SCP-2214-1282 through -1288, consisting of a ballpoint pen, a 
paperclip, and five steel ball bearings, were all introduced during 
initial testing of SCP-2214 by GRU-P personnel. 

2. This includes the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, 
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, 
Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Podlogistan, Uzbekistan, the Kyrgyz 
Republic, and Tajikistan. 

3. Later discovered to be affected by the state-mandated price for 
Uzbek cotton.

SCP-2215: I Saw the Sign 


Item #: SCP-2215 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All collected instances of 
SCP-2215 are to be kept in a secure storage compartment at 
Site-82's low-risk containment wing. 


Description: SCP-2215 are a series of 900 x 1125 mm cedar-wood 
arrow-shaped signs, mounted on simple metal poles, 1.5 meters in 
length. SCP-2215's anomalous properties manifest when a 
categorized anomaly contained by the group known as the Chaos 
Insurgency is vocally mentioned in their vicinity. If this occurs, an 
instance of SCP-2215 will swivel on its metal pole to face the 
direction of the SCP-2215 instance that is closest to the 
aforementioned anomaly. Additionally, a short description of said 
anomaly will manifest on the surface of SCP-2215. The descriptions 
produced by SCP-2215 are often either inaccurate, cryptically 
written, grammatically incorrect, nonsensical, or all four. SCP-2215 
instances do not manifest their anomalous properties if an anomaly 
not fitting this description is mentioned in its vicinity- unconstrained 
anomalies, uncatalogued anomalies or anomalies contained or 
otherwise in the possession of other organizations or individuals will 
not activate its effects. 


SCP-2215 was retrieved by Mobile Task Force Psi-7 ("Home 
Improvement") in a raid on a facility believed to be controlled by a 
Chaos Insurgency affiliated cell. In addition to SCP-2215, MTF Psi-7 
retrieved five Safe-class anomalous objects (including SCP- ) as 
well as capturing three Cl-affiliated operatives. Said operatives 
offered no resistance and were seemingly expecting the arrival of 
Foundation forces to their location, including placing the anomalous 
objects in their possession in easily carriable containers. When later 
questioned, all three operatives replied that their capture by the 
Foundation was congruent with the goals of their organization. All 


three used the exact same phrasing when questioned, and all three 
concluded that the goal of their capture was to "elicit interest", and 
revealed the purpose of SCP-2215. Further investigation as to the 
meaning of this phrase and the sudden change in organizational 
pattern by the Chaos Insurgency is currently in progress. 


Attempts to use SCP-2215 in order to retrieve other items held by 
the Chaos Insurgency have proven ineffectual. SCP-2215's 
descriptions were found to be of uniformly poor quality, and every 
new instance of SCP-2215 found was located so distantly from the 
items they were supposedly close to as to be virtually worthless as 
means of locating them. 


Addendum SCP-2215-A-1: The following table contains notable 
examples of description produced by SCP-2215 following the 
mentioning of items believed to be held by the Chaos Insurgency its

Seems like everything went according to plan then." 


Cl-OP-2 (a grey-haired woman, age indeterminable): 
"That remains to be seen. How do you think they'll 


accept it?" 


Cl-OP-1: "That's beyond our control now. We did our 
part. The rest is up to the audience." 


CI-OP-3 (a bald man in his late sixties): "Do you think it 
will work though? This item of ours seems... problematic. 
Tonally, that is." 


CI-OP-1: "Hrm. Difficult to say, really. The comedic 
undertones are a potential issue. They might ask for a

Cl-OP-2: "We knew the tonal risk when we went about 
creating this thing. Gotta stick the course now." 


CI-OP-3: "Yes, yes. This issue is a constant frustration, 
but | suppose there's no avoiding it. It is as the 
Consortium willed it." 


CI-OP-1: "Idiot! We are being read right now!"

SCP-2216: Peripheral Visions 


Item #: SCP-2216 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: As the method of transmission 
utilized by SCP-2216-1 is not fully understood, Mobile Task Force 
lota-7 ("Mavericks") should focus efforts on the identification and 
recovery of SCP-2216-2 instances. Five (5) instances of 
SCP-2216-2 are to be kept at Site-19/2216 in separate storage 
lockers equipped with a Faraday cage to prevent wireless 
transmission of SCP-2216-1. Additional instances of SCP-2216-2 
are to be destroyed at the earliest opportunity by incineration or 
confined to a Faraday-equipped storage apparatus in cases where 
incineration is not immediately possible. Due to SCP-2216-1's 
anomalous effects, visual testing of SCP-2216-2 is to be carried out 
exclusively by D-Class personnel. 


All MTF lota-7 agents and level 4/2216 researchers are to wear one- 
way mirrored, 100% reflective eye protection when viewing any 
visual media or subjects who have viewed an instance of 
SCP-2216-2. In the event that eye protection is damaged or 
removed, affected personnel should be contained and monitored for 
signs consistent with SCP-2216-1 exposure. 


Subjects who have viewed an instance of SCP-2216-2 are to be 
contained for at least ten (10) days in a windowless 5 meter by 5 
meter humanoid containment cell and monitored for signs consistent 
with SCP-2216-1 exposure. Subjects must undergo Procedure 185- 
Bellerophon to determine conscious awareness of SCP-2216-1. 
Subjects are allowed reasonable requests with the exception of 
electronic devices. Containment cell lighting is to be maintained at 
two hundred fifty (250) lumens and monitored by CCTV equipment 
placed behind a one-way mirror. Subjects determined to be a vector 
for SCP-2216-3 events must be monitored until the completion of 
testing to forestall SCP-2216-3. All video monitoring equipment is to 


be destroyed immediately following testing and termination of 
SCP-2216-3p subjects. 


Description: 


Note from O5- : Due to the nature of the infohazard 
contained herein, access of this document is restricted to 
three (3) researchers with assigned security clearance 
4/2216. Researchers are to be informed of the identity of 
their peers at the time of assignment to SCP-2216. Upon 
submission of credentials, personnel are to be contained 
to Site- 19/2216 with staff rotations to occur on a monthly 
basis. Interaction with outside personnel is restricted to 
necessary O5 reporting conducted strictly through audio 
channels. Researchers who have completed work with

SCP-2216-1 is an entity or group of entities which 
presently exists in approximately % of video media as 
an obscure, humanoid figure wearing inconspicuous 
attire. In all cases where SCP-2216-1 has been 
observed, the video angle or attire will obscure any 
identifying features. Because of SCP-2216-1's mundane 
appearance it is often unnoticed upon initial viewings. 


In approximately % of SCP-2216-1 transmissions, 
instances of the entity will be present on both the original 
medium and the copied medium. SCP-2216-1 has 
demonstrated the following methods of transmission: 


¢ Wired or wireless networks 

¢ Transfer of digital storage devices 
¢ Dual VCR Recordings 

* Transfer of digital files 


Gus: “Okay, Doc, | trust ya.” 

[There is a slight paper ripping noise.] 

Gus: “Whacha doin’ Doc? Would ya please not do that?” 
Dr. __: “Just a little bit fur-” 


[The audio of the two cuts out, and there are 5 hard 
banging sounds - presumably SCP-254-1 slamming Dr. 

's head against the table. Then there is a wet sound 
as the box cutter is [DATA EXPUNGED].]

Experiment Log 254-b: Testing on extended employment of 
SCP-254-1 as a janitor at Sector- . 


Day 26: End of standard employment period reached. 
SCP-254-1’s performance continues to meet high 
standards. 


Day 32: First sign of performance degradation noted. 
SCP-254-1 leaves a dirty rag on Research Assistant 
’s desk. Apologetic when rag is noticed and returned. 


Day 34: SCP-254-1 is mopping the floor in Sector- 
when a hurrying technician trips over the bucket of 
cleaning solution. SCP-254-1 recorded cursing at the 
technician. 


Day 35: End of the calendar month. SCP-254-1 
described as “sullen” by a late-working researcher. Break 
room kitchen in Sector- left uncleaned, coffee spilled 
around Dr. _’s garbage can. 


Day 36: SCP-254-1 reprimanded by supervisor for 
apparent drunkenness. (Note: Very odd; SCP-254-1 has 
never been seen to eat or drink.) 


Day 39: SCP-254-1 fails to return cleaning solutions to 
the janitorial closet. Near-disaster when mentally 


¢ Transfer through the human cranial nerve II by 
way of the retina as the point of transmission and 
reception. SCP-2216-1 seems to only utilize this 
method in cases where the subject is consciously 
aware of its presence within the video media. EEG 
scans of the subject's brain indicate heightened 
activity in the posterior parietal cortex suggesting 
SCP-2216-1 uses this area as a sort of organic 
storage device. 

* SCP-2216-1 is assumed to possess other methods 
of transmission, being present in media under 
conditions in which the aforementioned criterion 
are unavailable. 


% of subjects who are consciously aware of 
SCP-2216-1 will experience psychosis, parataxis, 
catatonia, and [REDACTED]. In 100% of cases, 
expiration attributed to synaptic damage in the medulla 
oblongata will occur within the next to hours. 
Subjects who display these symptoms and those who 
are not consciously aware of the entity are not 
susceptible to SCP-2216-3 events. 


SCP-2216-2 denotes video medium in which 
SCP-2216-1 is present. The first instance of SCP-2216-2 
(SCP-2216-2-1) was discovered in the home of H , 
a resident of , New York on the 17th of August, 19 . 
See Document 2216-15C for further details regarding 
recovery. 


SCP-2216-3 is a dual-phase phenomenon which occurs 
in % of subjects approximately to hours after 
becoming consciously aware of SCP-2216-1. 


¢ During the primary phase, subjects (hereafter 
SCP-2216-3p [Prime]) will report sighting a semi- 
corporeal figure in their peripheral vision, often 
assumed to be SCP-2216-1. This entity is 
seemingly impermanent and will often be absent 
from assumed locations after passing out of a 
subject's line of sight. Subjects most often report 


this entity will manifest in hallways longer than 20 
meters (provided a 'T' intersections at end 
opposite SCP-2216-3p), although it has been 
reported to traverse the visual width of internal 
windows no wider than 1 meter (provided the 
ambient luminosity in the area beyond Is less than 
50 lumens), partially or fully open doors and in 
outdoor areas with an obstructed horizontal field of 
view. Attempts to capture the entity via video 
monitoring in controlled tests have failed. Subjects 
also report the entity will maintain a minimum 
distance of approximately seven (7) meters while 
in direct visual field; It has been reported to move 
closer when subjects have sighted it "out of the 
corner of [their] eye.” 


The sighting of this entity will trigger the secondary 
phase during which SCP-2216-3p subjects will 
instantly vanish upon passing out of the direct line 
of either direct visual or indirect video surveillance. 
Tracking devices (including those placed inside the 
subject) cease to function at this point. Analysis of 
SCP-2216-3 events reveals carbonization in the 
immediate vicinity of the subject's location, 
suggesting a substantial and immediate discharge 
of energy. Testing of these areas have suggested 
the presence of [REDACTED] (See Addendum 
2216-YKE104). 


Procedure 851-Bellerophon: Secure Testing Site-109 
is a'T' shaped hallway with measurements of thirty three 
(33) meters from point "S" to point "CP", and forty seven 
(47) meters from point "F1" to point "F2". Subjects are to 
be introduced at point "S" and monitored at all times by 
CCTV cameras located at point F1, F2 and S. Walls of 
hallway adjacent to point S are to be lined with decor of 
lead researcher's choosing, preferably photographs. 
Lights throughout Site-109 are to be reduced to 25 
lumens with intermittent flicker effect. At no time during 
testing should luminosity rise above 50 lumens. Door at 


point S is to be opened and subject instructed to 
maintain position and report any movement. After one (1) 
minute of no reported activity, subject is to be instructed 
to move forward to examine decor of hallway S, still 
reporting any movement. If subject reaches contact point 
CP without reporting movement they may be extracted 
from the testing site and re-admitted to containment. 
Subjects are to repeat this process at a rate of once 
every three (3) days, not lasting longer than ten (10) 
days in total. Subjects who report no movement during 
testing period are to be considered SCP-2216-3 
negative, administered Class-C amnestics and released.

Test: TE-2216-2-3 - Date February 3rd, 


Subject: D-10199 


Foreward: SCP-2216-2-3 is a USB drive with 
one (1) MPEG-4 file present, depicting a 
mountain biking run, three (3) minutes, twenty 
seven (27) seconds in length, from the 
perspective of the biker's helmet camera. It 
has been determined that the video was 
transferred via bluetooth from an cellular 
phone to a computer, then copied to the drive. 
Both the phone and computer were 
determined to be unaffected by SCP-2216-1 at 
time of recovery. 

Procedure: Subject D-10199 was placed ina 
secure testing chamber identical to the one 
utilized in TE-2216-2-1. D-10199 was informed 
to make note of any figures in the film which 
appeared abnormal or out of place in the 
video, connect SCP-2216-2-3 to the 
appropriate port and begin playback. 


Results: D-10199 did so with minimal 
objection and began to view SCP-2216-2-3. 
From 1:23 to 1:26, the subject in the video, 
D-10199 communicated the rider panned up 
from his handle bars and video revealed a 
humanoid figure walking through the desert 
brush, roughly forty (40) meters from the 
subject. Due to the distance from the figure, 
visual clarity was limited, but D-10199 made 
note of a smaller frame to the figure. D-10199 
was instructed to cease playback and was 
escorted from the room. 


As of [REDACTED], D-10199 has maintained 
normal behavior (approximately days) and 
displays minimal symptoms consistent with 
exposure to SCP-2216-2. D-10199 has 
communicated to researchers mild feelings of 
fear and anxiety but otherwise seems 
unaffected by the viewing. 


Analysis: D-10199's response has been wildly 
inconsistent with established behavior for 
subjects affected by SCP-2216-2. Dr. has 
requested a full psychological panel be 
conducted for D-10199, who will be kept under 
video surveillance and referred to phase 2 
testing following psychological panel.

Subject: D-10199 
Procedure: See Procedure 851 -Bellerophon 


Results: D-10199 entered Secure Testing 
Site-109 at point S. The following is the 
recorded transcript: 


<Begin Log, [00:00:00]> 


00:00:02: D-10199 enters hallway from point 
S. CCTV monitoring reports normal from point 
S, F1 and F2. 


Lead researcher, Dr.L [00:00:12]:D-10199, 
Please remain where you are until you are 
instructed otherwise. Report any signs of 
movement. 


00:00:14: D-10199 does as instructed 


00:00:54: D-10199 has not reported any 
activity for nearly one (1) minute. 


Lead researcher, Dr.L [00:00:59]: 
D-10199, Please take note of the pictures on 
the walls beside you. You may proceed down 
the hallway but please examine each one 
carefully. 


00:01:27: D-10199 continues down the 


hallway often crossing sides to carefully 
examine each picture. At roughly 8 meters 
from point S, D-10199 quickly makes a start 
toward point CP. 


D-10199 [00:01:28]: What the [Expletive] was 
that? What the [Expletive] is in here with me? 


00:01:30: D-10199 continues to focus on point 
CP. CCTV at points F1 and F2 show no 
abnormal behavior. 


Lead researcher, Dr.L [00:01:36]: Our 
cameras show nothing is in there with you. 
Please continue to examine the pictures. 
Remember your release is contingent on your 
cooperation during these exercises. 


00:01:50: D-10199 reluctantly returns to the 
pictures on his right. 


D-10199 [00:02:08]: There it is again! There's 
something in here! [At this point D-10199 
appears distressed and proceeds down the 
hallway at a walking pace] 


Lead researcher, Dr.L [00:02:10]: 
D-10199, stop! There is nothing in the testing 
site with you. Please return to the pictures 
immediately! 


00:02:15: D-10199 continues down the 
hallway, ignoring the commands of Dr. L 
Doctor gives the orders to raise lighting in the 
chamber to 250 lumens and dispatch security 
elements to detain D-10199. Concurrently, 
cameras at point S, F1 and F2 fail for 
approximately fourteen (14) seconds. 


00:02:32: D-10199 is not visibly present on 
cameras at point S, F1 or F2. Security 


elements report the subject is absent from the 
chamber. 


<End Log, [00:02:45]> 


Closing Statement: Analysis of camera S 
video footage shows movement at point CP at 
00:01:10, seventeen (17) seconds before 
D-10199 reported any anomalous movement. 
Due to testing conditions, this movement can 
only be attributed to anomalous activity within 
the testing site although, due to the angle, 
visual identification has proven impossible. 
Upon inspection of Site-109, carbon scoring 
was found present at D-10199's last known 
position. Video forensics was unable to 
recover any footage during the 14 second 
outage.

-From the office of T. Xyank, Lead Temporal 
Researcher, 


Contrary to the claims made by SCP-2216-3p 
subjects, analysis of SCP-2216-3 events 
reveals carbonization around the footprints of 
the subject, indicating a substantial and 
immediate discharge of energy. Testing 
conducted in these areas suggests the 
presence of particle/anti-particle interactions 
most commonly found during FK-Class 
Temporal Misalignments. If our theory is 
correct, the entity that subjects assume to be 
SCP-2216-1 is actually a temporally displaced 
version of themselves (Classification as 
SCP-2216-3d [Displaced] pending). Due to the 
quantity of particle/anti-particle pairs, 
researchers project SCP-2216-3 events to 
irreversibly damage the quantum fabric which 
comprises our reality by the year 19 , spiraling 
us toward a YK-Class Reality Restructuring 
Event by the year 20 . To counteract the 
threat posed by SCP-2216-3 events, 
termination is required in all cases of 


SCP-2216-3p subjects following the 
completion of testing. SCP-2216-3 events, 
combined with the proliferation of video media 
in the past two decades, makes a passive 
approach to containment implausible.

Basis. 


Abstract: Since roughly 1940, the name "Loewes" has been known 
to anomalously appear on objects found in museums in and around 
the New York area. In 1982, as part of ongoing MTF-lota 9 
operations, the digital video disc now classified as SCP-2216-2-1 
was taken into foundation possession by Agent as an instance of 
SCP-1999. Upon routine testing of the DVD, Dr. began to 
experience anomalous symptoms, consistent with SCP-2216-2 
exposure. Upon the discovery of additional SCP-2216-2 instances, 
SCP-2216-2-1 was reclassified as an instance of SCP-2216 (at the 
time, SCP-2216-1 was undiscovered). 


SCP-2216-2-1 is a focus of cross-SCP research for two reasons: 


¢ It represents the prime example of an SCP-1999 instance in 
video form. 
¢ It represents the prime instance of SCP-2216-2. 


For these reasons, SCP-2216-2-1 is classified at the highest levels 
and only available to researchers appointed by unanimous O5 
decision. This document exists as a database of pertinent 
information for the discovery of the presumed connection between 
SCP-1999 and SCP-2216. Additional information will be added as 
research progresses. 


Background Data: 
Uncensored description of SCP-2216-2-1 


A DVD labeled 'Loewes'. Video appears to be 
a 12 minute home movie taking place in a 


disturbed test subject (see Experiment Log 
[REDACTED)]) finds a bottle of ammonia-based cleaner 
in a bathroom. SCP-254-1 reprimanded for 
carelessness. Fellow janitor observed ina 
verbal altercation with SCP-254-1; both parties are 
somewhat vague on the cause of the quarrel. 


Day 43: SCP-254-1 again observed to be apparently 
drunk on duty. Cleaning is becoming noticeably more 
erratic. 


Day 48: Fire alarm goes off in Sector- . False alarm. Ink 
markers fail to pinpoint a culprit, but SCP-254-1 was 
observed near the tripped alarm a few minutes prior to 
the incident. Security footage unavailable due to an 
unidentifiable object blocking the camera's view of the 
hallway. 


Day 56:Dr. upbraids SCP-254-1 for removing 
perishable items from the lab refrigerator and shredding 
irreplaceable experiment logs. SCP-254-1 calls Dr. 
[REDACTED] and threatens to [REDACTED]. Security 
called. 


Day 58: Kitchen knife found stabbed deeply into Dr. _’s 
whiteboard. Dr. _’s locked secure document safe has 
been opened and rifled. Guard posted at the door to Dr. 

’s office. SCP-254-1 and recorded arguing in 
raised voices in the staff break room. 


Day 59: Janitor signs in to work, but fails to 
report to supervisor. Located by accident several hours 
later trapped in the cold storage rooms attached to 
[REDACTED] autopsy theater, suffering from severe 
hypothermia. Guard on duty at Dr. _ ’s office 
incapacitated by a blow to the head; crude human figure 
formed from a mop head impaled on a broken mop 
handle driven through Dr. __’s desk chair. SCP-254-1 
nowhere to be found. 


Day 60:AtDr. ’s request, and with approval from 


wooded area. Refer to document 2216-11A for 
transcript of the video. At this time, research is 
Ongoing to determine any connection between 
SCP-2216-2-1, SCP-1999 and the dadaist 
collective "Are We Cool Yet?". 


At this point it is believed that "Are We Cool Yet?" is 
limited to imitation of SCP-1999 and not believed to be 
responsible for any anomalous instances. 


Excerpt from SCP-1999 Description 


SCP-1999 is a phenomenon whereby the 
name "Loewes" (sometimes stylized 
"LOEWES" or less frequently, "loewes") 
inscribes itself on the surface of objects 
through unknown means. [REDACTED FOR 
BREVITY]. Objects so far discovered with 
SCP-1999 written on them have had no 
similarities to one another other than having 
been located inside museums, a feature which 
has been instrumental in identifying fabricated 
instances. [REDACTED FOR BREVITY]. 


An object marked with the name produces an 
effect whereby subjects consider it the 
property of another person, even if it was 
originally theirs. [REDACTED FOR BREVITY]. 
Museum staff have on numerous occasions 
removed items from exhibits without 
prompting, later stating the object in question 
"is Elfie's". Seeing the name or knowing about 
its existence on the object is unnecessary for 
the effect to take place. 


Analysis of affected objects suggests a 
frequency of occurrence between one and 
three months. 


Document 2216-15C: SCP-2216-2-1 Recovery Information 


SCP-2216-2-1 was discovered in the home of H ,a 
resident of Syracuse, New York on the 17th of August, 
1983. Mr. H_ was apprehended by local authorities after 
security footage from the Musée d'Art Moderne (Trans: 
Museum of Modern Art) in Brooklyn, New York confirmed 
him as the perpetrator of an ongoing theft case filed by a 
Mr. D___, alocal artist and patron of the museum. 
At present it is believed that Mr. H was under the 
influence SCP-1999's anomalous effects when the theft 
occurred. Embedded agents recovered the DVD in 
accordance with SCP-1999 containment procedures, but 
remained unaware of its anomalous properties until it 
was viewed by Dr. , who displayed symptoms 
consistent with SCP-2216-1 exposure. Due to the time 
frame for the onset of these symptoms, SCP-2216-2-1 
was Classified as an anomalous object by foundation 
agents (effective / /19 ). Upon discovery of additional 
SCP-2216-2 instances and SCP-2216-1 within, the DVD 
was reclassified as SCP-2216-2-1 (effective / /19 ).

+ Test Log 2216-TL1.1: TE-2216-2-1 [Uncensored] 
Test: - Date: January 14th, 19 


Subject: D-15117 

Foreward: SCP-2216-2-1 is a digital video 
disc (DVD) labeled 'Loewes'. Video appears to 
be a 12 minute home movie taking place ina 
wooded area. Refer to document 2216-11A for 
transcript of the video. At this time, research is 
Ongoing to determine any connection between 
SCP-2216-2-1, SCP-1999 and the dadaist 
collective, "Are We Cool Yet?". 

Procedure: Subject D-15117 was placed in 
secure testing chamber with one (1) 32" flat 
screen television manufactured by , one 
(1) VCR manufactured by , one (1) DVD 
player manufactured by __, one (1) Blu-ray 
player manufactured by, one (1) USB 


connection, capable of MPEG-4 playback and 
SCP-2216-2-1. All devices were connected to 
the television and checked for playback using 
non-anomalous media. One (1) closed circuit 
camera was placed over the door of the 
chamber with its lens obscured by an 
appropriate mirror. D-15117 was seated facing 
the door and television to avoid potential 
transmission vectors. D-15117 was informed 
to make note of any figures in the film which 
appeared abnormal or out of place in the 
video, insert SCP-2216-2-5 into the VCR, and 
begin playback. 


Results: D-15117 did so with minimal 
rejection. D-15117 watched for approximately 
seven (7) minutes before noticing a humanoid 
figure walking behind the group shown in the 
video. Subject appeared unaffected by the 
presence of SCP-2216-1. Subject was 
instructed to cease playback but made no 
indication of having heard research team. 
Armed guards entered testing chamber to find 
D-15117 starting directly at them, suffering 
from severe epistaxis. Monitoring equipment in 
the chamber was interrupted for approximately 
0.3 seconds by a blinding flash after which the 
chamber was empty. Carbonization consistent 
with that demonstrated during SCP-2216-3 
events was discovered inside the testing 
chamber. 


Analysis: D-15117 had no known connection 
to SCP-1999 or Mrs. Loewes prior to 
TE-2216-2-1 leading researchers to believe 
there is a significant relationship between 
SCP-2216-2-1 and SCP-1999 and the group 
"Are We Cool Yet?" (Dr. , / /19 ) 
Following TE-2216-2-1, testing of 
SCP-2216-2-1 is strictly forbidden by order of

Subject: D-10224 

Procedure: Subject D-10224 (previously a 
court stenographer, convicted of 
[REDACTED)]) was placed in a secure testing 
chamber identical to the one utilized in 
TE-2216-2-5. D-10224 was asked to transcribe 
the video in accordance with New York judicial 
transcription standards. 


Foreword: Video begins with static for 
approximately twenty two (22) seconds. Over 
the next eight (8) seconds, video normalizes in 
a wooded area at night. Camera first depicts 
two individuals (hereafter A [male] and B 
[female]) facing the camera waiting to speak. 
Figures are illuminated by a light source from 
the operator's (hereafter C [male]) point of 
view. 


<Begin Log, [00:00:30]> 
C: Go ahead, we're rolling. 


A: Okay, So were out here looking for signs of 
the witch... 


B (to A): Give them some background. 


A: Right, So we've been rolling up the east 
coast for about two weeks now and finding 
small towns with urban legends. We wanna go 
ahead and see if there's any truth to them, or 
at least if we can learn about the history 
behind them. 


B (to camera): Right. Today we're in upstate 


New York about 15 miles east of Ithaca 
exploring the Hammond Hill State Forest. We 
found a small local legend about a witch who 
lives in these woods. It was a little weird 
though, no one would tell her exactly what she 
does, or why they're scared of her. We're 
really just buying time on the trip to Boston but 
it should still be fun to explore. 


C: Good. 


00:01:45: [Camera pans down, C begins 
walking. Incomprehensible talking can be 
heard from the three subjects. ] 


C: Strange they wouldn't even tell us much 
about where to start looking. [A and B agree] 


00:03:01 [Camera pans up, focus on B while 
still moving forward] 


B: Yeah, as you just heard from Francis, it was 
really hard to get the folks in this town to tell us 
anything. Not like it was much of a secret, just 
that they didn't seem to know. We did some 
digging in the local library and found that she 
seemed to have a big old house at the end of 
a road called Red Man Run. The one person 
we were able to get to say something 
mentioned that the house will only appear 
under a full moon, which, lucky for us, was 
tonight. Couldn't resist... 


00:03:47 [Subjects A and B arrive at a sharp 
embankment, beyond which lies a road.] 


A [to B]: This is [indecipherable], right. 


B [to A]: yeah, but | [indecipherable] need 
[indecipherable] south. 


00:04:21: [Camera pans right, then downward 
as C traverses the embankment. A and B can 

be heard doing the same. Camera remains in 

this position as C proceeds forward] 


00:05:37: [Camera pans up to A and B infront 
of a metal park services gate. Gate is closed. 

A jumps the gate and helps B follow. Camera 
pans down as C does the same.] 


00:06:01: [Camera pans up, focus on A while 
still moving forward, A to camera] So this is 
Red Man Run. Supposedly the witch lives at a

we can find the house. Hopefully our witch is

A: What is that? 


00:07:03: [Camera pans up showing a large 
victorian style house. House appears in good 
condition. At this point, per D-15117 during 
TE-2216-2-1, SCP-2216-1 moves past the left 
side of the camera, roughly thirty (30) meters 
from A and B. C makes no indication of its 
presence.] 


A [to B]: This is our house... [Subject A takes 
his phone from his pocket and proceeds to 
take several photographs] 


00:07:49-00:10:17 [REDACTED] 


B: [camera seems to be held by B, taping 
herself. Background is shrouded in darkness] 
Where are we? Why did we come here? How 
do we escape? Let us out. Let us out! [B 


repeats phrases for approximately 2 minutes 
until video abruptly cuts (research conjecture 
suggests a state of parataxis).] 


<End Log, [00:12:11]> 


Closing Statement: It is unclear whether any 
of the three subjects in the video had 
connection to SCP-1999 or GOI-"AWCY?". All 
three subjects were found at the end of Red 
Man Run with their hearts removed (Site 
awaiting classification as an instance of SCP- 

) and the camera was discovered on top of 
a small pile of stones at a point concurrent to 
the northwest corner of the house in the video. 
The house mentioned in the video has yet to 
be located as presently satellite surveillance 
shows no house at the coordinates described. 
Until such a time as the nature of the video 
can be determined, no link between 
SCP-2216-1 and the events of the video has 
been established. 


Photographic Data: 


Following TE-2216-2-1, SCP-2216-2-1 was digitally copied to a 
foundation laptop and broken down by video forensics experts into 
individual still frames. At the time of TE-2216-3-1, SCP-2216-2-1 
displayed the following image where D-15117 had spotted 
SCP-2216-1. (Image has been confirmed as non-anomalous). 


Photograph of Mrs. Loewes, circa 1975 
Records obtained from the German chancellor's office 


indicate Mrs. Loewes would have been 55 years of age 
at the time this photograph was taken. 


Image Recovered from TE-2216-2-1 


Foundation proprietary facial recognition software has 
determined a 77% match between the two photographs. 
In light of this evidence, researchers and 

suggest the existence of a link between Ms. Loewes and 
SCP-2216-1. Research is ongoing and further 
discoveries will be included as entries in this document.

Description: SCP-2217 is the entirety of the beach on the island of 
[REDACTED], Greece. The sand of SCP-2217 is composed of non- 
anomalous silicates and calcium compounds, as well as several 
cationic metallic particles, which hold their charge despite being 
grounded; these particles partially act as a catalyst for the anomaly 
related to SCP-2217. SCP-2217 also houses a small silicate cliff at 
the northernmost end, the interior of which is affected by the 
anomaly. 


Natural processes that take place in SCP-2217, including the decay 
of sea life that washes up on it, erosion of the shoreline, lightning 
strikes (made more frequent due to the aforementioned cation 
content), and other weather conditions, result in the creation of 
structures and devices that are seemingly artificial in nature, 
collectively designated SCP-2217-A. 


Notable SCP-2217-A instances include: 


* Several forms of machinery, ranging from simple timepieces 
to complex automatons, which are constructed from fulgurites 
and are often found buried under the sand of SCP-2217 
following lightning strikes. Apart from their circumstances of 
creation, these items do not have anomalous properties, and 
are fully functional. 
Jewelry evidently fashioned from sea glass and other waste 
products, such as discarded lightbulbs, hulls of ships, and 
animal bones. Jewelry often resembles or bears religious 
iconography used by the Broken Church. 
¢ A model of a large city, designated SCP-2217-A1. SCP-2217- 
A1 is located in a grotto within a cliff on SCP-2217, accessible 
only via an underwater entrance. Structural elements in 
SCP-2217-A1 appear to correspond to an unknown Ancient 
Greek city, with a temple bearing the word "KU@npa"! 
SCP-2217-A1 bears several forms of religious iconography 
related to all three factions of the Church of the Broken God. 
However, despite the apparently Greek architecture, 
geographical features more closely resemble those found 
near Lake Baikal in Southern Siberia, Russia. Analysis 
appears to show that SCP-2217-A1 was carved entirely by 


natural forces such as tidal erosion. 


SCP-2217 is considered a holy site by The Broken Church, a 
splinter faction of the Church of the Broken God. A piece of scripture 
used by the religion, the Book of Rites, describes SCP-2217. 


Addendum: Excerpt from the "Book of Rites": 


1. The Boy looked out at the ocean with his family, and he saw 
fire rain down on it from God himself. 

2. God said to the Boy, "This is my workshop. It is where | make 
many wonders." 

3. "The lightning is my hammer, the Earth my anvil, the sand my 
ingot." 

4. "Come, boy. Come into my workshop." And the boy went, 
leaving his family behind. 

5. The Boy's family wept, thinking that the boy was going to his 
death. They did not hear God like the Boy did. 

6. On God's anvil, the Boy spread his arms and cried to the sky. 
"God! | am here! Show me your wonders!" 

7. And God did. He brought His hammer down on the boy, 
smiting him and tearing him asunder. He, like his God, was 
now Broken. 

8. But the Boy did not die. Instead, he became one of God's first 
children, forever marked. 

9. This mark was not a visible one. It was in his mind. The Mark 
was the Blueprint of God itself. 

10. But, it was only a fraction of a fraction of the true Blueprint, but 
he knew, one day, it would smite the Flesh. 

11. The Boy called out to his family, "Come and See the Wonders 
of God! Let him smite you onto his anvil, and you shall be 
struck into a new form." 

12. And so, his family saw the power of God. 


Incident 2217-14: On 1/01/2014, a magnitude 4.1 earthquake 
occurred on SCP-2217, with the epicenter being concentrated 
around the grotto where SCP-2217-A1 is located. A robotic probe 
was launched and guided into SCP-2217-A1's cavern, where it was 
discovered that a large structural shift had taken place. 


Several of the buildings appeared to be in the process of being 


consumed by a substance resembling pahoehoe lava. From this 
mass, several beings resembling individuals infected with SCP-610 
were storming the town, destroying buildings and devouring 
humanoid figures; no individual figures were seen in SCP-2217-A1 
prior to this incident. 


Incident 2217-35: Starting on 12/12/2017, several members of the 
Broken Church have attempted to attack the island where SCP-2217 
is located, attempting to "reclaim it for the Church". Experimental 
magnetic weaponry developed for the Esoteric Warfare Unit is 
currently being used to repel the attacks. 


However, there have been reports of Foundation personnel 
defecting after being struck by lightning on SCP-2217, invariably 
stating that "God needs to be reassembled”. These personnel are to 
be detained immediately. 


Incident 2217-42: On 7/28/2018, a large group of Broken Church 
members, several of which were anomalously augmented, 
attempted to storm SCP-2217 and the Foundation outpost located 
on it. Broken Church adherents were reportedly accompanied by 
members of GOI-004B (Cogwork Orthodox) and GOI-004C (Church 
of Maxwellism), despite reports of intense animosity between these 
groups. 


The capture of SCP-2217 was successful, with all Foundation 
members either killed or captured by members of GOI-004. A video 
message sent by an alleged "Saint Gates" of the Church of 
Maxwellism contained the following message: 


Oh disassemblers who call themselves a Foundation: 
what are you a Foundation for? If you are a Foundation 
for life, then you will let us keep this land. For the flesh is 
coming, and only we can stop it. We need to bring our 
God back together immediately, or else you will all 
perish. 

WAN spoke of the coming of the flesh, Horrors 25:7-12.2 
And now, it is time. If you are a Foundation for life, you 
will not let this happen. You will let us defeat the flesh. 


Several other messages followed, demanding the relinquishing of 


SCPs related to the Church of the Broken God. 


As of 8/01/2018, all Foundation personnel on SCP-2217 have 
defected. As of 8/05/2018, SCP-2217 remains uncontained. 


Observational Report 2217-04: Since failure of containment of 
SCP-2217, Foundation satellites have been observing SCP-2217. 
Images appear to show members of the Church of the Broken God 
drawing symbols in the sand. The Triumvirate, a joint task force with 
the Horizon Initiative and Global Occult Coalition, has found that 
these symbols correspond to a large-scale summoning ritual used to 
revive UAE-Aleph-015, or "The Broken God/MEKHANE/WAN". 


Plans for a large-scale invasion of SCP-2217 are currently 
underway. 


Incident 610-2217: On 1/01/2019 at 00:00 local time, a large 
earthquake occurred in the Lake Baikal region. This seismic event 
corresponded with a large influx of SCP-610 instances, which 
started attacking the perimeter of the containment area. Foundation 
forces suffered high casualties, and a near containment breach of 
SCP-610. 


However, the breach was stopped by a sudden appearance of 
several augmented members of the Church of the Broken God, who 
proceeded to assist Foundation forces in containing the breach. The 
Church members had evidently been waiting in the area around 
Lake Baikal for at least fifteen days prior to the breach, later claiming 
that "God had told them to come to [The Foundation's] aid." 


The breach was fully contained when a large-scale electrical 
discharge occurred on 01/04/2019, destroying all SCP-610 
instances within a 5km radius of its point of impact. Non SCP-610 
lifeforms, including Foundation personnel, caught in this area were 
not affected, except for the total destruction of the SCP-610 
contagion in their system. Satellite photography shows that this 
discharge originated on the island where SCP-2217 is located 
approximately twenty minutes prior to impact. 


Following this, a video message from Robert Bumaro, the leader of 
the Broken Church, was received by all Triumvirate leaders, 


including O5 command, the Director of the Global Occult Coalition, 
and the Horizon Initiative's Tribunal. 


It's not too late, you know. This is our world, too. We 
want the Flesh to die as much as you do. And we can 
help you; we can help each other. Come to the Anvil. We 
will talk, and we can save this world. 


Addendum: 2217-Thaumiel: On 5/14/2019, O05 Command 
unanimously voted for temporary collaborative measures with 
GOI-004, in order to prevent an XK-Class Scenario. SCP-2217 has 
been reclassified as a Thaumiel-class anomaly, and will be used to 
prevent Scenario XK-610-Q. During the prevention of this scenario, 
all secrecy protocols will be rescinded, with a high probability of 
leading to an LV-Zero "Lifted Veil" scenario; this has been deemed a 
necessary risk. 


To help the public adjust in the event of a possible LV-Zero 
Scenario, the Triumvirate has created Project ENNUI. Project 
ENNUI will use a combination of ENNUI-5 Amnestic and gradual 
civilian exposure to harmless, E-Class anomalies, as well as 
anomalies that have been given an -EX designation but have yet to 
be released to the public. 


As of 8/25/2019, SCP-2217 remains under Triumvirate control, and 
Project ENNUI is operating at 45% effectiveness.

1. Kythera. This name is shared with an island in the Attica region of 
Greece, approximately [REDACTED] km from SCP-2217. The word 
"Kythera" appears in certain scripture related to the Church of the 
Broken God. 

2. From the Maxwellian Book of Horrors: 7 And so, in the cold land, 
the Flesh spread its horrors throughout Kythera. 8 And WAN

throughout the land. 10 'The Flesh cannot truly die. When it comes 
again, Kythera will once more fall. 11 Five years shall pass after the 
end of Kythera, and the Flesh shall come again. 12 When it does, 
another year shall pass, and the great battle will begin."

SCP-2218: If | Only Had a Brain 


Item #: SCP-2218 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2218 instances are to be 
contained through the usage of doubly redundant recording devices 
in a 4 kilometer wide square perimeter (designated as the 2218 
Containment Area) around the instance's previously established 
community boundaries. 


All recording devices are to be oriented counter-clockwise to face 
the rear of the next recording device in the line. Secondary recording 
devices are to be utilized at the corners of this perimeter to cover 
any gaps in surveillance. No recording device is to be further than 
100 meters from another recording device (excluding the device's 
own backup). 


Foundation maintenance staff are to patrol the perimeter of the 2218 
Containment Area daily and clear any growths or obstructions. 
These staff must also repair or replace devices which are no longer 
functioning. 


All staff should maintain records of any SCP-2218 instance that 
reached the perimeter of the 2218 Containment Area. Every 5 days 
any SCP-2218 instances which have reached the outer perimeter 
are to be transported back into the containment area outside the line 
of sight of any recording devices. 


The 2218 Containment Area is to be designated as private land and 
access to it is to be limited to Foundation staff. Trespassers are to 
be apprehended and interrogated. If civilians are found to possess 
knowledge of Foundation operations in the area or knowledge of 
anomalous properties relating to SCP-2218 instances, they are to be 
amnesticized prior to release. 


Description: SCP-2218 is a collection of individuals which take on 
the outward appearance of an inanimate mannequin if observed. 
Observation in regards to SCP-2218 is defined as any visual or 
auditory information processed by any individual or automated 
surveillance system. While the general appearance of individual 
instances differ greatly from one another, all living instances take on 
an individually unique appearance when observed (though a non- 
adult instance may grow in size, its appearance remains similar). 
This has allowed for easy identification of discrete instances". 


Beyond this observation effect, SCP-2218 instances do not appear 
to possess additional anomalous properties, (though they do not 
appear to experience the passage of time while observed). Each 
instance requires nutritional intake approximate to a human 
individual of similar size (though only when unobserved). SCP-2218 
instances appear to engage in behavior typical to isolated human 
communities capable of agriculture. A majority (approximately 60%) 
of instances are devoted to primitive agricultural pursuits. The 
remainder of instances are split between various religious, 
leadership, and professional roles. 


Recovered written communication have indicated that English is the 
primary language utilized by SCP-2218 instances. The most 
common communications appear to be between individual instances 
and members of the religious class. This religious class appears to 
control vast influence in the SCP-2218 community. Religious 
doctrines taught appear to be closely related to Methodist teaching, 
with a strong focus on theology, liturgical rituals, and ecclesiology. 


Community historical records indicate that isolation began during the 
early 1950s as a result of the instance's anomalous effect. The 
majority of residents appear to credit a higher power's favor as the 
reason for their isolation. The few residents who are believed to 
have lived prior to the establishment of the community, however, 
refuse to respond to written communications left by Foundation 
personnel. 


Due to their anomalous properties, capture and examination of 
individual instances is not difficult. While internal examinations 
through non-invasive means? indicate an inner composition 
reflective of inanimate mannequins, physical examination of this 


internal structure has shown that regardless of outward appearance, 
all instances are internally physiologically identical to humans. 
Internal organs, once removed from an SCP-2218 instance, do not 
display the anomalous effect possessed by whole instances. 


+ Show Addendum 1 


After initial containment, a dialogue was established 
between a variety of SCP-2218 instances and the 
Foundation. Instances initially appeared to believe that 
Foundation actions in and around the containment area 
were the work of supernatural beings. Eventually more 
reliable means of communication were established, 
including a drop box for two-way communication. 


The majority of data extraction methods at the 
Foundation's disposal are incapable of being utilized 
against the SCP-2218 instances in their inanimate form. 
Among instances willing to communicate with the 
Foundation, a widespread belief exists that the religious 
community leaders are responsible for the continued 
isolation of the instances. Though the focus of most 
communications have been to discover more information 
about the origin on the SCP-2218 effect, several 
communications relating to the sociopolitical environment 
of the SCP-2218 community have also been 
incorporated into the correspondence. 


+ Show Incident Report 2218-130 


Following a failed sociopolitical upheaval initiated by the 
SCP-2218 instances in communication with Foundation 
staff, most communication with the Foundation has been 
cut off. The majority of individuals previously in contact 
with the Foundation have either been executed or are 
unable to be located. 


As no new information appears to be forthcoming from 
the community, the addition of 24-hour automated 
satellite surveillance to the containment procedures is 
currently under review by the Ethics Committee. 


Footnotes 

1. Similarity between the effects of SCP-2218 instances and 
theSCP-2136pathogen have been noted. Investigation into whether 
the anomalous properties affecting SCP-2218 instances are an 
altered version of SCP-2136, or visa versa, is ongoing. 

2. Current testing has included standard X-Ray, CT, and MRI scans.

SCP-255: Base Eleven Disorder 


Item #: SCP-255 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Tissue samples and specimens 
related to SCP-255 are contained at Bio Site-16, a purpose-built 
containment and research facility designed to Priority Beta 
contagious phenomenon specifications. Bio Site-16 is subject to a 
remote location personnel rotation waiver in addition to standard 
contagious phenomenon preventive quarantine periods. Bio Site-16 
is located in the Vaitupu Atoll of Tuvalu on an island owned by 
Ragnarik Ecological Modeling Inc., a Foundation front organization. 


Persons and animals determined to be infected with SCP-255 are to 
be secured and transported to a designated temporary holding 
facility prior to transfer to Bio Site-16. In cases where capture of an 
SCP-255 carrier is exceedingly difficult or impossible, lethal force is 
authorized. 


The Office of Celestial Anomalies is to continually track the orbit of 
3214 Hybris, maintain a schedule of upcoming near-Earth flybys, 
and alert the Research Director if any changes in observed orbit 
occur. The next scheduled flyby of 3214 Hybris is 11 November 
2023, when it is predicted to pass within 950,000 km of Earth. 


Description: SCP-255 is an anomalous infectious phenomenon of 
extraterrestrial origin, manifesting in most living subjects as a 
neurological disorder with varying symptoms. Eligible carriers of 
SCP-255 have thus far been observed to be organisms possessing 
a cerebral cortex with approximately =5.4 billion neurons. 
Experimentation has determined that species capable of contracting 
SCP-255 include humans, chimpanzees, African elephants, 
bottlenose dolphins, false killer whales, and others. 


In non-human carriers SCP-255 causes, through unknown means, 


SCP-2219: PORRIDGE 


Item #: SCP-2219 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2219 is to be kept ina 
standard containment locker at Site-59. As of 4/29/15, testing of 
SCP-2219 is to be carried out using a specialized remote analog 
proxy and a camera on a Game Boy system. Direct human testing is 
prohibited. 


Though SCP-2219 is believed to be unique, any copies discovered 
of SCP-2219 are to be seized by the Foundation immediately. 


Description: SCP-2219 is an unlicensed Game Boy game titled 
"PORRIDGE" created by the Totleigh Software Corporation,’ where 
the main character "GOLDOX" must progress through levels and 
defeat bear-themed enemies. Apparently designed as a platforming- 
style adventure revolving around the story of "Goldilocks and the 
Three Bears", SCP-2219 comes without clear instructions and is 
subject to ambiguous gameplay goals and various glitches. 


In the place of an instruction manual is a singular note reading the 
following:

SCP-2220-1: Essex class aircraft carrier USS Bon Homme Richard 
(CV-31); 

SCP-2220-2: Benham class destroyer USS Stack (DD-406); 
SCP-2220-3: Benham class destroyer USS Wilson (DD-408); 
SCP-2220-4: Atascosa class oiler USS Atascosa (AO-66) (vessel 
forward of the smokestack is missing, edge of missing section’s 
curvature consistent with SCP-2220-5 aperture radius) 


SCP-2220-1 through -4 were located intact but battle damaged amid 
the debris of the (see Courier-Post extract, “Mystery 
sinkhole swallows local mall”). Excess seawater was tested for 
anomalous effects and drained via pipeline to the Delaware River. 
All working machinery, weapons, aircraft, crew effects and remains 
were removed to Site-76 for further study. Class-A amnesiacs were 
administered to all first responding personnel, and a cover story 
involving a previously undiscovered aquifer collapsing was 
disseminated to local news organizations. Foundation recovery 
teams dispatched to the site found that in the case of each vessel, 
all personnel found aboard were deceased at their battle stations. 


Ongoing autopsies of the crew have determined that the cause of 
death in each case (aside from those found with obvious combat 
related injuries) was found to be an abrupt cessation of cardiac 
action potential resulting in sudden cardiac arrest. Autopsies on 
crew remains are scheduled to be completed on 10/15/2015. 
Operational orders found aboard SCP-2220-1 indicate that the 
vessels were involved in combat operations supporting the 
Operation Olympic landings on the southern tip of Kyushu, 
specifically Ariake Bay. The last entry in the captain’s logbook 
(dated 11/4/1945) describes catastrophic losses being taken by 
Allied ground units attempting to secure the Ariake beachhead; 
“special weapons” delivered by SCP-2220-1’s aircraft were 
authorized in an attempt to force a breakthrough. 


Nineteen aerial bombs superficially resembling the “Little Boy” 
nuclear device (designated SCP-2220-5 to-24) were located in 
SCP-2220-1’s forward magazine. Inventory manifests indicate that 
SCP-2220-1 sailed from Pearl Harbor Naval Base on 10/25/1945 
with twenty-five devices. These records further indicate that five had 
been used operationally on 11/4/1945 and one was undergoing 
emergency maintenance for what was noted as a “detonator 
mechanism issue” (the latter device is presently unaccounted for 
and believed to be responsible for the manifestation incident). These 
devices were removed from SCP-2220-1 and are currently stored at 
Site 76, Secure Armaments Wing. 


Test detonation of SCP-2220-5 on / /20 resulted in the creation of 
a spherical Einstein-Rosen aperture 1 km in diameter centered on 
SCP-2220-5’s location and resulting in the instantaneous 
disappearance of the entire target area within the sphere. No 
concussive force was observed during the detonation. The location 
of the missing terrain remains unknown. Test observations indicate 
that the aperture created is non-traversable and apparently functions 
as a “one way trip” to an unknown destination in spacetime. Further 
testing with two of the devices has been approved.

SCP-2221: A Friendly Agreement 


Item #: SCP-2221 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Websites believed to host 
instances of SCP-2221 are to be isolated for examination, and 
civilian users are to be blocked from such websites. A team of C- 
Class personnel are to maintain an ongoing search for websites and 
software that require the user to agree to an End User License 
Agreement, and thoroughly examine all such agreements for signs 
of SCP-2221. 


Given the impossibility of containing all instances of 2221-A, field 
agents will instead focus on counteracting their effects. Agents 
should remain in contact with law enforcement agencies worldwide 
to monitor for sudden increases in extrajudicial violence. Agents are 
encouraged to share information about 2221-A affiliated groups with 
national security agencies in order to diminish their political and 
social impact. Foundation policies on political non-intervention have 
been temporarily waived in order to respond to this threat. 


Description: An instance of SCP-2221 is an End User License 
Agreement (EULA), of the sort commonly agreed to by consumers in 
order to use software. Instances of SCP-2221 are typically found 
attached to free or inexpensive software available over the internet. 
They are unusually long for EULAs, presumably to deter consumers 
from reading to the end. Near the end of the contract are three 
clauses believed to bring about distinct but related anomalous 
effects. 


Clause 189 

"You agree that all worship, prayer, obeisance, sacrifice, 
oaths, requests for guidance and/or intervention, and any 
other invocations of divinity directed at any deity or 
deities listed in Appendix H.vii will instead be directed at 


the Serene Tribune, Friend of the Righteous, hereafter 
referred to as 'Amicus.'! Furthermore, you agree that this 
clause supersedes conscious intent with regard to the 
direction of the aforementioned invocations of divinity." 


Clause 191 

"You agree that Friends of Amicus LLC2 may access 
your consciousness for the purpose of exerting 
subconscious influence and/or temporary control of 
consciousness for a period not to exceed seventy-two 
(72) hours during any one-week period." 


Clause 216 

"You and Friends of Amicus LLC agree that any attempt 
to breach or modify the terms of this agreement, or to 
bring suit against Friends of Amicus LLC, must be settled 
by arbitration in the Serene Tribunal."3 


Testing suggests that SCP-2221 is not an infohazard— reading or 
looking at instances of SCP-2221 has no effect if the reader does 
not agree to the contract. It is extremely unlikely that such a contract 
would be legally enforceable in any known judicial system. However, 
it is believed that the effects of SCP-2221 result from the 
enforcement of the terms of this contract by unknown parties. 


Certain classes of individuals (including mentally incapable 
individuals, pre-pubescent children, and slaves) are unaffected even 
if they agree, presumably because they lack legal capacity to agree 
to a contract. Individuals incapable of understanding the contract 
(such as those who cannot speak the language in which it is written, 
or sleeping persons made to press the button to agree to the 
contract) are also unaffected. These limitations have proven 
extremely disruptive to attempts to study SCP-2221: the contract's 
effects do not extend to D-Class personnel, who apparently lack 
legal capacity with whatever entity is enforcing the contract. 


SCP-2221's lack of effect on D-Class personnel makes direct 
experimentation difficult, but the Foundation has performed 
extensive analysis on populations believed to be affected by 
SCP-2221. Individuals are assumed to be instances of 2221-A if 
they have created an account on a website or downloaded software 


known to host an instance of SCP-2221. The following behavioral 
changes have been observed in 2221-As and populations with large 
numbers of 2221-As: 


2221- 


Greatly increased voter turnout and political activism. 
Instances of 2221-A in non-democratic or semi-democratic 
countries often affiliate themselves with protest movements or 
other subversive political organizations. Instances of 2221-A 
seem particularly drawn to positions considered outside the 
political mainstream, including parties associated with both the 
far-right and far-left. 

Greatly increased interest in religion and issues of religious 
identity. Attendance of religious services is notably high in 
areas with large 2221-A populations. Instances of 2221-A in 
Muslim countries often affiliate themselves with Islamist 
movements, while instances in the United States may 
advocate for an increased role for Christianity in public life. 
Shifts in religious practices. Community punishment for 
deviating from religious law, often in the form of shaming, is 
common in 2221-A dominated areas. Religious art from these 
communities incorporates nooses or patterns resembling 
nooses with unusual frequency. For example, Christian art 
tends to depict Jesus being hung rather than crucified, while 
Hindu art often focuses on Yama hanging criminals. Despite 
Clause 189's reference to the worship of "Amicus," instances 
of SCP-2221 are not typically observed worshipping a being of 
that name (the one exception, POP-044-2221-A, is discussed 
below). 

Frequent extrajudicial violence against alleged criminals. 


A populations tend to be densely clustered, so while some 


communities are entirely composed of 2221-As it is rare for affected 
nations to have an 2221-A population of over .05%. The most 
notable exception is POP-044-2221-Ain — , which until 2013 
constituted over 2% of the national population. 


Events Concerning POP-044-2221-A 


In October 2012, Site 614 contacts the O5 Council to 
report armed mobs attacking Foundation installations in 
. It is immediately apparent that these groups have 


inside information concerning the Foundation: they 
demand that the Foundation hand over SCP- ,SCP- , 
SCP- ,SCP-_ , and 34 Foundation personnel to be put 
on trial. 


The October attacks on Site 614 are initially attributed to 
the Republic of Letters, which quickly claims 
responsibility for leaking information leading to the 
attacks. At this point, the Foundation is not aware of any 
major 2221-A populations in —_, and the Republic of 
Letters’ claims are believed. 


However, examination of computers at Site 614 reveals 
that many personnel have been using software hosting 
an instance of SCP-2221. Consensus within the 
Foundation shifts to the belief that the leaked information 
came from Foundation personnel, having been 
subverted by the Friends of Amicus. It remains unknown 
whether the failure to find and report this instance of 
SCP-2221 was due to negligence or deliberate 
sabotage. 


Site 614 personnel are detained for examination. Field 
agents from Site 115 and Site 621 are sent to under 
the command of Site Director Susan Pritchard to observe 
and report on the local 2221-A population, 
POP-044-2221-A. Due to ongoing political turmoil in the 
area, the Foundation adopts a strictly defensive stance, 
repelling continued attacks on Foundation installations 
without responding in kind. 


Attacks against local prisons are also noted. While local 
security forces repel most of these attacks, prisons in 

and are overrun by mobs. Prisoners at both 
locations are dragged outside and lynched, including 
prisoners who have only committed minor crimes such 
as vandalism. 


Over the course of the next four months, changes in the 
religious practices of the local Sunni Muslim majority are 
observed. Many local mosques begin announcing the 


call to prayer eight times per day instead of the 
traditional five. Decorative nooses are observed hanging 
in doorways, often adorned with colorful cloth in 
elaborate patterns. Several imams believed to be 
instances of 2221-A are noted to add an additional 
prophet, "Sadiq," to the traditional Islamic list of 
prophets.4 When pressed for additional information on 
Sadiq, these imams are confused, and deny knowledge 
of Sadiq. 


By April 2013, affected communities have begun 
sounding the call to prayer up to thirty times per day. 
With little time left for other activities, attacks on 
Foundation installations cease. POP-044-2221-A 
distributes print versions of SCP-2221, thereby 
converting nearly all adult members of affected 
communities into instances of 2221-A. With the 
Foundation no longer on the defensive, field agents 
begin to quarantine towns inhabited by POP-044-2221 - 
A, and unaffected civilians are evacuated into 
Foundation custody. 


The frequency of 2221-A calls to prayer continues to 
increase until prayer has become constant among the 
entirety of POP-044-2221-A. Between May 24 and June 
6, every known member of POP-044-2221 -A expires of 
exhaustion and dehydration. The government of 
cooperates with the Foundation in attributing these 
deaths to political violence. 


Field agents recommend waiving the Foundation's policy 
on political non-intervention in order to prevent similar 
occurrences elsewhere. 


Addendum 2221-i: Recently discovered instances of SCP-2221 
have an addition to Clause 217: "By reading this clause, members of 
any organizations listed in Appendix K.iv agree to go fuck 
themselves." The SCP Foundation was one of the organizations 
listed, along with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Republic 
of Letters, and several other groups of interest and governmental 
organizations. Personnel who had read Clause 217 were isolated 


degeneration of motor neurons and nerve cells. The rate of 
degeneration and severity of related symptoms is inversely related 
to the number of neurons the subject possesses in its cerebral 
cortex, with less neurologically-developed organisms displaying the 
most debilitating effects. 


The effects of SCP-255 on humans, however, is markedly more 
complex. While degradation of brain cells and the nervous system 
has been noted on a limited basis in humans, a range of more 
unusual symptoms occurs in these subjects. See SCP-255 
Research Log for more details. 


Individuals infected by SCP-255 can be reliably diagnosed through 
EEG observation and confirmation of verified markers in 
measurements of neurological activity. See Appendix B for further 
documentation. 


Outbreaks of SCP-255 coincide with close flybys of 3214 Hybris, a 
relationship that was theorized using advanced statistical models 
following the second outbreak in 1965, and confirmed during the 
asteroid's 1987 close approach. Observations of 3214 Hybris have 
determined it to be an approximately 110 meter C-type asteroid with 
no anomalous properties observed at this time. The nature of the 
orbit of 3214 Hybris brings it into close approaches with Earth once 
every 11 years. 


Addendum 255-1: Research Log 


The following is a listing of known SCP-255 outbreaks and relevant 
data 


Estimated Da’ Location(s) Number of| Incidence Rate 
of Outbreak Confirmed 
Human Cases 
23 May 1968 | Sagaing, 86 N/A

The first known outbreak of SCP-255 occurred in 1968, known now 
to have coincided with 3214 Hybris passing within 350,000 km of 
Earth. All known infected individuals resided within 7 km of the 
township of Mawlaik. 


and kept under examination. The addition had no discernible effect, 
least of all a literal one. It is believed that Clause 217 is merely a 
taunt, rather than an infohazard or legally binding addition to the 
document. However, supervisors are to make weekly reports on the 
behavior of Foundation personnel who have read modified versions 
of Clause 217. 


Footnotes 

1. Appendix H.viii is exhaustive: it lists not only gods associated with 
major religions, but also the gods of extinct religions, fictional/ 
satirical gods, philosophers, abstract values, and major political/ 
historical figures. Additionally, several phrases typically spoken 
without religious intent (e.g. "Darn it" and "Thanks, Obama") are 
specified. 

2. Friends of Amicus LLC is a legal consulting group based in 
Fairfax, Virginia. All their Known employees are currently under 
surveillance. It is unknown what effect revoking their charter would 
have on SCP-2221; continued surveillance is recommended for the 
moment. 

3. Attempts to arrange this arbitration have so far proved fruitless. 
4. "Sadiq", like "Amicus", translates into English as "friend."

SCP-2222: Meschk-Mernanschordbtoum- 
VordhosbnV7 


Item #: SCP-2222 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Foundation operatives 
embedded within ( ) have been relocated 
and situated upon Orbital Unit-09 under the guise of qualified station 
personnel. Personnel consists of four three (3) Foundation 
operatives preliminarily and extensively trained in aerospace 
engineering, extravehicular activity, confinement and 
experimentation/analysis for the sole purpose of SCP-2222's 
containment. Transmissions originating from are to be 
intercepted and deterred by Foundation operatives trained in 
linguistics and vocal interpretations at Commanda-2. 


Hermetic doors composing SCP-2222 are to remain sealed with the 
exception of testing and/or analysis purposes. No internal interaction 
is permitted within SCP-2222 during analysis; visual and/or auditory 
analysis is permitted from SCP-2222's exterior following manual 
opening. Testing requires the release of any number of Rattus rattus 
within SCP-2222, the supply of which is currently situated within the 
Unit laboratory. Emergent entities from within SCP-2222 are to be 
transferred to a suitable and sterile area in which further testing and 
analysis regarding resultant behavioural, physical and anomalous 
characteristics may be conducted prior to termination. Entities are to 
be terminated via the release of gaseous rodenticides. 


Following Incident 2222-REF#209, any indications of fascination or 
obsession pertaining to SCP-2222 from Unit personnel are to be 
reported to Command-2, where temporary/permanent replacement 
of the personnel in question may be administrated. Complete 
personnel obsession pertaining to SCP-2222 is to result in the 
immediate isolation of Orbital Unit-09, where Armed Rapid 


Response Spatial Task Force-01 may be contacted. Additional 
emergency response forces are to be stationed at Command-2, who 
are to be dispatched in the event of a Unit personnel member 
becoming obsolete (refer to Exploration III for further details). 


Description: SCP-2222 is an airlock composed of two (2) opaque 
hermetic plug doors and a cylindrical (3.6 m in diameter) chamber 
within - space station (designated Orbital Unit-09). Attempts 
to internally survey SCP-2222 during the closure of both hermetic 
doors such as placing interior surveillance devices, pressure 
sensors or radios within the chamber have failed due to apparent 
malfunction. As a result, no means of interior observation within 
SCP-2222 are possible, excluding reopening via electronic control. 
REVISION: / /_ - Refer to Incident 2222REF#209 for further 
information. 


Organisms entering SCP-2222 precipitate immediate anomalous 
effects. Upon entrance from Orbital Unit-09's interior, the inner 
hermetic door will seal and entrap the organism. SCP-2222 will 
remain sealed for approximately three (3) minutes prior to the door 
reopening and the organism re-emerging. Attempts to manually 
open either hermetic door during this period invariably fail. Entry to 
within SCP-2222 from Orbital Unit-09's spatial exterior is yet to be 
conducted. 


Upon re-emergence, organisms exhibit complete organic and 
structural eversion. Organisms remain alive despite theoretically 
fatal alterations to their physical forms. Affected human subjects are 
capable of communication through vocalising individual words in 
reverse; as observed within Incident 2222-01, subjects appear 
physically incapable of vocalising individual words in standard 
intelligible format unless prompted to do so. As a result, immediate 
communication has proven impossible due to incomprehension. 
Despite this, reverse playback of recorded interviews have 
successfully determined the meaning of individual vocalisations. 
Individual vocalisations from sentient organisms such as Rattus 
rattus also exhibit this impairment. 


Incident 2222-01: / /  : Interview with the first affected 
Foundation subject following SCP-2222's initial acquisition (refer to 
Document-2222-667DL for further details). Subject is ,a 


former Level 4 operative with qualifications in engineering. Physical 
alterations were first noted following 's interaction and 
accidental entrapment within SCP-2222 during interior analysis. 
Individual vocalisations from are reversed for the purpose

Incident 2222-REF#209: The following events occurred between 
the dates of // and // _ following successful interior 
surveillance within SCP-2222 after handheld digital cameras within 
the chamber exhibited non-malfunction. The preceding information 
thus warranted inclusion and exploration within SCP-2222, 
conducted by seven (7) D-Class personnel resituated upon Orbital 
Unit-09 with preliminary sedation administrated beforehand, 
alongside five (5) Level 4-5 Foundation operatives with the 
responsibility of Unit maintenance and safety, alongside 
communication with D-Class personnel. Current Unit personnel were 
granted temporary leave, with long-term signal failure occurring 
across all so as to maintain the undetectability of the response 
force relocating the personnel. It is to be of note that D-Class 
personnel were unaware of SCP-2222's anomalous effects prior to 
their exposure to SCP-2222. 


The following documents are restricted to Level 4 Personnel 
or higher. Unwarranted and/or unauthorised attempts to 
access these documents will initialise an Order-O6 Amnestic 


administration designed to precipitate immediate demotion

D-82111: What was that? 
Agent Eine: Please elaborate. 
D-82111: The window. Look at it. 


[D-82111 readjusts the head-mounted camera 
setting to focus on an exterior hermetic door 
window. It is to be of note that SCP-2222's 
exterior hermetic door does not possess a 
window] 


Agent Eine: First visual and/or spatial 
anomaly noted. Move closer to the window, 
please. 

D-82111: No, man. No, | can't. | just- 

Agent Eine: Move closer to the window. 
D-82111: You don't want to see what's on the

from the head-mounted setup, before rotating 


the camera towards himself. D-82111's facial 
characteristics exhibit extreme injury 
consistent with those observed in Incident

pulled from the root, while the epidermal layer 
covering the scalp is stretched and cracked, 
indicating the origin point of epidermal 
eversion. D-82111 drops the camera as an 
apparent consequence of massive physical 
trauma, causing the feed display to depict the 
aforementioned window, now open. Visible 
through the window is outer space and the

D-72892 is relocated to within SCP-2222 in a similar 
fashion to the prior exploration, similarly equipped with 
one (1) long-lasting electronic lantern and one (1) digital 
camera feeding directly to Unit command. D-82111 is 
additionally equipped with a preliminarily arranged series

D-72892: Uh, do | just read these out loud? 
Director Kauffman: Activate your torch 
beforehand. And yes, please do so. On my 
command. 

D-72892: Right. Sorry. 

Director Kauffman: Read question one aloud, 
please. 


Foundation assets became aware of SCP-255 while investigating an 
unknown illness affecting certain primates, including humans, in 
rural regions of northwestern Myanmar. The number of animals 
affected is unknown, but was estimated at the time to be between 
1,000-5,000 individuals, primarily among forest-dwelling monkey 
species. 


All human instances and a representative sample of infected 
monkeys were brought under Foundation control, and special 
containment procedures enacted. In controlled laboratory conditions, 
animal subjects displayed advanced signs of motor neuron 
impairment, with a 100% mortality rate over a period of three weeks. 
Human subjects displayed mild neurological impairment, 
comparable to that experienced after a minor stroke. 
Experimentation confirmed that the disorder was not contagious. All 
human subjects recovered within ten days, and were released 
without incident after being informed that they were treated under a 
World Health Organization initiative.

A second SCP-255 outbreak occurred in 1979 in three separate 
regions, undetected until 19 months later when a routine review of 
forthcoming medical literature documented several individuals 
complaining of a "phantom limb" sensation affecting the dominant 
hand, simulating the spastic movement and persistent ache of an 
extraneous eleventh digit. 


Foundation personnel covertly interviewed subjects claiming to be 
affected by this phenomenon. Subsequent research determined that 
all individuals resided within 25 km of the 11th parallel south, and 
were experiencing an anomalous condition. Lack of person-to- 
person transmission capabilities were confirmed, and disinformation 
measures in the scientific community were carried out, achieving 


D-72892: "This is D-72892 speaking on behalf 
of the SCP Foundation. Please state your 
reasons for your inhabitance within Orbital 
Unit-09's airlock." 


[No auditory response documented during 
regular playback] 


Director Kauffman: /Recoils] What in hell was 
that deafening noise? [To Unit command 
observers] Did you pick that up? God-awful. 
My ears are still ringing. Bloody cacophonous. 
D-72892: | didn't hear anything. What're you 
on about, man? 

Director Kauffman: A discordant screech was 
picked up on the audio feed. Please read the 
second question aloud, 72892. Jesus. 
D-72892: "Who are you, and what do you 
represent?" 


[No auditory response documented during 
regular playback] 


Director Kauffman: Notify us if you hear or 
see anything noteworthy. 


[No response from D-72892. Visual display 
exhibits minor film grain increase] 


Director Kauffman: D-72892? 

D-72892: [Reverse playback reveals the 
following] They're here to be entertained. 
Director Kauffman: What? 

D-72892: [Reverse playback reveals the 
following] Didn't you hear me, you two-faced 
fuck? 

Director Kauffman: [To Unit command 
personnel] Reverse the playback for each 
vocalisation from D-72892 after we're done. 
D-72892: [Reverse playback reveals the 
following] We're all two-faced. Why don't you 


come in here with us? Join the party. We can 
be two-faced together. You, me, and them. All 
six of us. 


[D-72892's visual display is momentarily 
eclipsed by an amorphous figure for 
approximately two (2) minutes. Audible 
throughout this period are human vocalisations 
consistent with regurgitation. Visual display 
following said two-minute period depicts an 
emaciated D-72892 standing upright within 
SCP-2222. D-72892's facial characteristics 
exhibit mid-eversion centred around the right 
nasal cavity extending to the right ear, 
exposing ruptured muscle mass and 
cheekbone; D-72892's left facial 
characteristics remain intact. D-72892 
addresses the camera, maintaining direct eye 
contact with Director Kauffman despite the 
lack of two-way facial display] 


D-72892: [Reverse playback reveals the 
following] Now. Do you see what it's like to be 
two-faced? Come along, Director. Do it. Open 
the airlock. It'll work, because they'll allow it to 
work. 

[UNKNOWN]: [Reverse playback reveals the 
following] No. Greater. Idea. 

D-72892: [Reverse playback reveals the 
following] What's that? You want them to- Oh. 
| must applaud you, <[Unknown: Oudjn?/ 
Oodjin?/Oudgin?]>, that's genius. 
[UNKNOWN]: [Reverse playback reveals the 
following] Good. Tell. 

D-72892: [Reverse playback reveals the 
following] You're the boss. Hey, Kauffman. 
Yeah. You're not invited to the party anymore. 
They have something even better in store for 
you. It's only us for now. 

[UNKNOWN]: [Reverse playback reveals the 


following] Wrong. Not. Invited. 

D-72892: [Reverse playback reveals the 
following] Wait. But- 

[UNKNOWN]: [Reverse playback reveals the

[D-72892 is observed to choke incessantly for 
a further minute, before both auditory and 
visual displays malfunction]

D-72892 re-emerged from SCP-2222 as an animate, 
disarrayed mass of charred and blackened human 
viscera and flesh. Posthumous analysis following 
controlled euthanasia revealed complete epidermal 
eversion as per usual. No textual engravings were 
documented, and D-72892 was promptly released into 
outer space as per common procedure. Reverse 
playback of recorded audio was documented, with 
Director Kauffman voluntarily renouncing his position as 
communicator. 


Exploration III 


D-02928 is placed within SCP-2222 three (3) days 
following Exploration II, a period in which temporary Unit 
personnel spent arranging and preparing a preliminary 
stratagem for Exploration III. D-02928 is tasked with the 
responsibility of documenting visual evidence of 
SCP-2222's inhabitant(s) so as to further establish the 
entities' behavioural and physical characteristics. 
D-02928's head-mounted camera setup is additionally 
fitted with a separate digital photographic device 
programmed to take one (1) photograph every twenty 
(20) seconds. 


<Begin Transcript> 


Agent White: Please await further 
instructions. 
D-02928: Sure, whatever. 


[First photograph documented. Post- 
interaction analysis reveals SCP-2222's 
interior with no visual/spatial deviations noted] 


Agent White: Deactivate your torch in order 
for the camera flash to be fully utilised. 
D-02928: Can't | just turn it off? 

Agent White: No. It's in the programming. 
D-02928: Fine. Yeah, fine. 

Agent White: Can you still visualise 
SCP-2222's interior? 

D-02928: No, it's pitch dark. 

Agent White: Good. You'll be nee- 


[A communication error between D-02928 and 
Unit command occurs. Secondary 
communication backups utilised following a 
two (2) minute period, in which D-02928 is 
presumed to remain within SCP-2222. 
Following communication restoration, 
D-02928's visual display depicts SCP-2222's 
interior engulfed in flame, with D-02928 
nowhere to be discerned. SCP-2222's outer 
hermetic door is observed to open despite 
Orbital Unit-09's exterior surveillance monitors 
depicting its explicit closure at the displayed 
juncture’. Visible beyond the hermetic door is 
a spatial region inconsistent with any 
documented region to date, with an 
amorphous, roughly linear stellar entity 
resembling a nebula also visible, violet in 
colouration. D-02928 is observed to emerge 
from SCP-2222's exterior and enter SCP-2222 
despite theoretically fatal spatial conditions. 
D-02928 hastily reacquires the camera before 
addressing Unit command in person] 


D-02928: You see that? 

Agent White: God. Yes, we see it. What is it? 
D-02928: It's- It's... Look, they're preparing. 
That's why they haven't killed me. I'll explain 
once | get out. 

Agent White: I'm sorry? No, you'll explain 
now. 

[UNKNOWN]: [Reverse playback reveals the 
following] No. Explain. Nothing. 

D-02928: G- Get- Get away from me! 
[UNKNOWN]: [Reverse playback reveals the 
following] Waste. 

D-02928: Yeah. Yeah, that's right, back off, 
pussy! You f- 

[UNKNOWN]: [Reverse playback reveals the 
following] Silence.

D-02928 later emerged from SCP-2222 with no resultant 
physical impairments. However, D-02928 exhibited 
complete incapability of oral, written or other forms of 
communication with other personnel, disregarding them 
completely. D-02928 was promptly transported to Orbital 
Unit-09's temporary D-Class housing area, in which he 
spent the remainder of his accompaniment with Unit 
personnel before relocation to Sector-19. A total of nine 
(9) photographs were taken during D-02928's exposure 
to SCP-2222, six (6) of which exhibit corruption as a 
result of hardware damage. The remaining three (3) 
photographs are included below: 


Exploration IV 


D-90123 is placed within SCP-2222 upon instruction, 
with identical equipment as mentioned beforehand. It is 
to be of note that 

D-90123 exhibited a heightened fascination with 
SCP-2222, with said fascination increasing exponentially 
following the effects of 

SCP-2222 on her predecessors; it is to be of note that 


D-90123 was not informed of the current whereabouts of 
said predecessors, 

excluding D-02928 (Refer to exploration III for further 
details). D-90123's fascination with SCP-2222 was 
additionally shared with D-46400 (refer to Exploration VI 
for further details), who exhibited a milder form of the 
aforementioned fascination. It is to be of additional note 
that D-90123's vocabulary appeared to increase 
significantly during her exposure to SCP-2222.

beauty leaves me infinitely speechless. | can't- 
O5- : Activate your visual feed. 

D-90123: Yes, of course. You must see this. 


[D-90123's visual feed is activated, thus 
initialising the resultant visual display at Unit, 
depicting SCP-2222's interior as per usual, 
with no visual/spatial anomalies noted] 


O5- : We're not making out anything 
incongruous. 

D-90123: That's because you're not here with 
me, [DATA EXPUNGED] [It is unknown as to 
how D-90123 was aware of O5- 's patronym]. 
A basic camcorder can't transcribe what's truly 
here. 

O5- : In that case, D-90123, what is 
SCP-2222? 

D-90123: SCP-2222 is an airlock composed of 
two opaque hermetic plug doors anda 
cylindrical 4.6 metre chamber within - 
space station, designated Orbital Unit-09. 
Attempts to internally survey- 

O5- : That's enough. Stop restating the official 
documentation. 


D-90123: Exactly, sir. Restating. Restating is 
the act of repeating something, especially in 
the form of a more clear and precise 
reiteration. What you didn't allow me to do, 
[DATA EXPUNGED], was to finish. So please, 
do allow me to restate. 

O5- : How- Why do you know- 

D-90123: [Reverse playback reveals the

[Auditory feed malfunctions and deactivates. 
Visual feed exhibits significant distortion and 
tearing as a result precipitated by an unknown 
medium, although visuals remain discernible; 
D-90123's head-mounted display is removed 
involuntarily, thus depicting SCP-2222's 
interior at a different angle, with D-90123's 
torso in view. D-90123's arms are 
outstretched, with her hands forming several 
unknown gestures. D-90123 is abruptly 
thrusted sideways at extreme force, colliding 
with several mechanical protrusions and 
components, simultaneously impaling her 
abdomen and left frontal lobe prior to complete 
epidermal eversion taking place over the 
course of six (6) seconds. D-90123 is 
observed to remove both protrusions impaling 
her body at force, turning to address an 
unknown individual. D-90123 proceeds to 
speak for approximately thirty (30) seconds 
prior to auditory backup activation] 


D-90123: [Reverse playback reveals the 
following] -Eels great. Now I'm ready. Do you 
want more? Are you entertained? 
[UNKNOWN] [Reverse playback reveals the 


following] Yes. 

D-90123: [Reverse playback reveals the

Similarly to D-72892, D-90123 re-emerged as a 
disarrayed mass of charred and blackened flesh, with the 
only notable deviation being incapability of locomotion. 
Despite this, D-90123 maintained respiratory function 
and a heart contractility, and was 

immediately terminated prior to spatial release.

unauthorised actions. D-12935 was detained by Task 
Force personnel, who escaped momentary restraint and 
voluntarily entered SCP-2222 following apparent abrupt 
obsession with the airlock, similar to the fascination 
observed with D-46400 and D-90123, equipping himself

30 May 1990 | Chihuahua, 121 N/A 
Mexico 


The third documented outbreak of SCP-255 occurred in Chihuahua, 
Mexico, in 1990, coinciding with the passage of 3214 Hybris within 
550,000 km of Earth. Characteristic of SCP-255, the outbreak is 
noted to have started in what was at the time the eleventh-most 
populous city in the eleventh-most populous country on Earth. 
Beginning in this instance and continuing through subsequent 
outbreaks, only human subjects have been infected by SCP-255. 


Affected subjects in this outbreak displayed altered circadian 
rhythms, sleeping for periods between 3-4 hours at a time and 
awaking fully refreshed, conducting activities, and then tiring and 
sleeping within an average period of 7 hours, thus operating 
biologically in accordance with an eleven-hour day. 


During interactions with researchers, test subjects displayed a 
tendency to change subjects in the middle of speaking to say "hello" 
in either English, Portuguese, or Indonesian, the languages spoken 
by infected subjects in the second outbreak. Subjects would state 
"hello" in one of these languages regardless of any prior linguistic 
knowledge, and uniformly claimed no recollection of doing so. 
Additionally, these subjects would address Foundation personnel as 
members of the World Health Organization without prompting. In all 
other manners, test subjects observed in this iteration of SCP-255 
functioned in their altered biorhythm in a normal manner, before 
recovering and returning to a normal, non-anomalous state within 
2-3 weeks.

It's right there. 


Offspring, we can watch them in perpetuity. We'll 
join the millions. Sitting here on this violet cloud. 
Laughing at the humans. 


Let me give you a brief rundown of what goes on 
over there, aeons away, on Meschk-Vordhosbn. 
First, it was plants. That was unstimulating. Then 


came the ridiculous squealing mammals. Then, 
finally, there came the first human. We enjoyed 
humans, so we familiarised ourselves with them, 
and they sent more. The first of the three new 
humans were Clueless, the fourth was delightful. 
The fifth was a disappointment despite the fourth's 
promise. The sixth was insane. And the seventh is 
here with us. You've heard of him. 


They call him 12935. 
He hates it here. 
Sound appealing? 


Good. You must appreciate the work that goes into 
this. It's a hard job to organise. It's only a mere 
team of four, did you know? Who knows how far 
they travelled to achieve this. | hope you'll look up 
to them someday. 


Offspring, we too can laugh. 


We can be entertained. We can feast our optic 
lobes on flocks after flocks of human astronauts, 
turned inside-out, having their vocal 
comprehensions reversed so that we can split our 
sides. 


We can watch their bloodied remains get taken to 
Epmn where they'll be singed, semi-torrefied, 
burned like anthropoid hogs on a spit. Because it's 
hilarious. 


Why not? 


Exactly. 


Sit down, offspring. This is quality entertainment.

Item #: SCP-2223 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All known versions of 
SCP-2223 are to be stored on an external drive stored in Secure 
Containment Locker 23C at Site-15. Access to copies of SCP-2223 
may be granted for research purposes by one Level 3 researcher. 
Direct display of versions SCP-2223-5 and later is not permitted, 
even through previews or thumbnails. SCP-2223 versions are to be 
handled only through indirect computational analysis. 


Protocol 56-Ackermann is the only currently known method for 
suppressing new versions of SCP-2223. A simplified overview of the 
theoretical framework behind Protocol 56-Ackermann is provided 
below — specialized personnel assigned to SCP-2223 with extensive 
background in mathematics and computer science should refer to 
Document 2223-56-Ackermann for further technical details on 
implementation and sensitive information on proprietary search 
algorithms. 


Protocol 56-Ackermann: 


+ Excerpt from Document 2223-56- 
Ackermann, Section II: Detection of SCP-2223 


Protocol 56-Ackermann requires a modification to the 
PageRank algorithm used by internet search engines. 
Under the assumption of a random-surfer model with a 
damping factor $d$ and $N$ pages or images, one can 
consider a PageRank metric $PR$, a critical factor in 
ranking search results: 


(1) 
\begin{align} PR(p_i) = \frac{1-d}{N} + d \sum 
\frac{PR(p_j)}{L(p_j)} \end{align} 


Summed over pages with inbound links to $p_i$ where 
$p$ represents a page and $L(p_j)$ outputs the number 
of outbound links from $p_j$. One can represent this 
system of linear equations as the following linear 
transformation: 


(2) 

\begin{align} \left[ \oegin{array}{cc} PR(p_1) \\ \vdots \\ 
PR(p_N)\end{array} \right] = \vec{P} = \left[ \oegin{array} 
{cc} \frac{1-d}{N} \\ \vdots \\ \frac{1-d}{N}\end{array} 
\right] + d \left[ \begin{array}{ccc} \ell(p_1,p 1) & \cdots & 
\ell(p_1,p_N)\\ \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ \ell(p_N,p_1) & 
\cdots & \ell(p_N,p_N)\end{array} \right]\vec{P} = \left( 
\frac{1-d}{N} \mathbf{J_N} + d\mathbf{M} \right ) \vec{P} 
= \mathbf{A}\vec{P} \end{align} 


Where $\ell(p_i,p_j)$ is 0 if $0_j$ does not link to $p_i$ 
and otherwise some non-zero value normalized such 
that the columns of the matrix $\mathbf{M}$ are 
stochastic. $\mathbf{J_N}$ is a matrix filled with 1's and 
is guaranteed to return $\vec{1}$ due to the stochastic 
nature of vector $\vec{P}$. The unique solution vector $ 
\vec{P}$ represents the eigenvector associated with the 
eigenvalue 1 for matrix $\mathbf{A}$ and yields the 
PageRank values used in search result ranking. The 
eigenvalue 1 is the largest such eigenvalue and thus 
efficient methods for retrieving dominant eigenvectors, 
like power iteration, may be used (see Section III: 
Computational Methods for further details). 


Although ordinary methods of directly distinguishing new 
SCP-2223 instances fail due to its anomalous properties, 
Foundation computer science researchers found that 
SCP-2223 instances have the property of being an 
element of an irreducible closed subset of the graph 
modeling connections between internet pages/images. 
This allowed for the development of Protocol 56- 


Ackermann and an avenue for containing new versions 
of SCP-2223. 


The matrix $\mathbf{A}$ is guaranteed a spectral gap 
greater than or equal to $1 - d$ for damping factor $d§, 
and the spectral gap is equal to $1 - d$ if $\mathbf{A}$ 
models a graph with two or more irreducible closed 
subsets. Protocol 56-Ackermann requires the calculation 
of the second-most dominant eigenvector, an operation 
that can be efficiently achieved using algorithms like the 
block power method or Tarjan's algorithm (see Section 
III: Computational Methods for further details). 


For each entry corresponding to $p_j$ in the second 
eigenvector $\vec{v_{\lambda_2}}$, $p_j$ is an element 
of an irreducible closed subset if $\left( 
\vec{v_{\lambda_2}} \right)_j$ is non-zero. In accordance 
with Protocol 56-Ackermann, images with this property 
are removed and thus SCP-2223 instances are filtered 
from image search results!. 


Protocol 56-Ackermann modifies the PageRank algorithm used in 
search engines affected by SCP-2223 to rank relevance of search 
results. PageRank formulates a system of linear equations modeling 
a network of connected pages and images, which can then be 
expressed in the general form $A\vec{x} = \vec{b}$ for matrix A and 
vectors x and b. Protocol 56-Ackermann finds the eigenvector? for 
the second-largest eigenvalue of the matrix A (PageRank retrieves 
page importance data from the dominant eigenvector associated 
with the largest eigenvalue). Using data from the second-most 
dominant eigenvector, Protocol 56-Ackermann determines whether 
an image satisfies the property of being in an irreducible closed 
subset indicative of a possible SCP-2223 version. If the image 
satisfies this property, it is excluded from search results and thus 
new versions of SCP-2223 are suppressed. 


In the event of a failure of Protocol 56-Ackermann, the Foundation 
will request a takedown of the new SCP-2223 instance from its host 
website through a front company for visual copyright violation. 
Foundation network security experts will forcibly remove the 
instance if the host website does not do so within one hour. 


A catalog of previous SCP-2223 instance metadata and filenames is 
to be maintained for all efforts pertaining to the elimination of copies 
of known SCP-2223 instances. Foundation web crawlers are to 
regularly scan the internet for images matching the filename or 
metadata of catalogued SCP-2223 instances. Social media sites are 
to be given special priority due to their past prominence as 
SCP-2223 dissemination vectors. Foundation agents are to be 
dispatched to administer class-C amnestics to individuals possibly 
exposed to the cognitohazardous effect of SCP-2223. 


The SCP Foundation has enlisted the cooperation of major antivirus 
and computer security firms in the elimination of offline known 
SCP-2223 instances. All major antivirus software will identify any file 
matching known SCP-2223 metadata or filenames as malware and 
will permanently remove it. 


Description: SCP-2223 is a collection of digital PNG images that 
depict a female human of an indeterminate young age in the style of 
Japanese animation. Each distinct image version is designated 
SCP-2223-1 through SCP-2223-6. SCP-2223 most commonly 
depicts its subject with a red and white school uniform, although 
certain instances have shown alternative or absent attire. Although 
the exact portrayal of the subject of SCP-2223 varies across 
instances, physical characteristics such as eye color, hair color, and 
bodily proportions remain constant in all versions of SCP-2223. This 
has led the team assigned to SCP-2223 to conclude that all 
SCP-2223 versions were intended to depict a single entity 
designated SCP-2223-A. It remains unknown whether SCP-2223-A 
is intended to resemble a real-life person or a character in an 
existing fictional work. 


The primary anomalous effect of all SCP-2223 versions is their 
ability to manipulate search algorithms to rank them near the top of 
the results for certain keyword or phrase inputs to which they would 
ordinarily be irrelevant (within top ten results without Protocol 56- 
Ackermann interference). Example keywords manipulated by 
SCP-2223 include "grapes", "crepes", "aquarius", "periodic table", 
"mapquest", and "US Senate" (see Document 2223-Keywords for 
full list). SCP-2223's method of arbitrarily manipulating PageRank 
and VisualRank calculations is currently unknown and presumed to 


be anomalous. 


Attempts to read SCP-2223 versions through image processing 
algorithms and alternative methods fail. Pixel-by-pixel reprocessing, 
application of memetic filters, printing, and attempted modification of 
an SCP-2223 instance's image (including drawing, erasure, and 
other operations) yield only grey visual static. Additionally, despite 
obvious differences to the human eye, computers report high 
similarity between SCP-2223 and images visually unrelated to 
SCP-2223 but relevant to SCP-2223-affected keywords. 
Comparison of SCP-2223 instances to images relevant to applicable 
keywords using local feature vectors extracted from the scale- 
invariant feature transform, the algorithm used in VisualRank-based 
image searches, outputs a high (>90%) correspondence, while 
similar results are obtained from other image comparison 
algorithms. 


SCP-2223-1 through 4 display no other anomalous properties. 


As of SCP-2223-5, SCP-2223 versions exhibit an additional 
cognitohazardous effect. Any human who views an instance of 
SCP-2223 will feel a strong compulsion to share the image through 
any means possible. Downloading the image and sharing it via 
social media and websites is the most common vector for 
dissemination. Individuals under the effect of SCP-2223 have also 
commonly used email and direct presentation via phones and other 
screens. Infected individuals precluded from sharing digital copies of 
SCP-2223 will resort to drawing a non-anomalous reproduction 
within the individual’s natural artistic ability. Individuals entirely 
precluded from sharing SCP-2223 exhibit mild annoyance and 
discontent, although no serious psychological or physiological harm 
has been observed. The cognitohazardous effect can be neutralized 
with a class-C amnestic. 


As of version SCP-2223-6, SCP-2223 (or its possible creator) has 
demonstrated knowledge of classified Foundation information and 
the potential to disseminate it to the public. 


Discovery Log: SCP-2223 was brought to the Foundation's 
attention when Google Inc. received an unusually large number of 
complaints regarding irrelevant image search results. Google's 


attempts to modify its search algorithm failed to displace 
SCP-2223-1 from its ranking in applicable keywords. Foundation 
hacking teams resolved the incident by forcibly taking down 
SCP-2223-1 from its hosting site. 


Addendum 2223-1: months later, Foundation hacking teams 
contained an outbreak of SCP-2223-2. MTF Mu-4 ("Debuggers") 
was Called in to evaluate the situation and formulate a long-term 
containment strategy. Dr. Ackermann of MTF Mu-4 developed a 
possible algorithm for computer identification and removal of 
SCP-2223 from search results despite its anomalous properties, 
which was formally codified into Protocol 56-Ackermann. 


A test version of Protocol 56-Ackermann that penalizes images in 
irreducible closed sets was applied to controlling an outbreak of 
SCP-2223-3. The limited test was a success, reducing 
SCP-2223-3's search result ranking. SCP-2223-3 was replaced with 
SCP-2223-4, which depicted SCP-2223-A crying rather than the 
usual smiling. Following the test’s success, the full Protocol 56- 
Ackermann was implemented into the search algorithms of all major 
search engines by undercover Foundation operatives masquerading 
as independent contractors and succeeded in eliminating SCP-2223 
from image search results entirely. 


Addendum 2223-2: Software engineers at Google modified the 
block power iteration used to obtain the second eigenvector. 
Although this resulted in faster performance, it relaxed the accuracy 
of the eigenvector outputted without any accompanying change in 
the code implementing Protocol 56-Ackermann. Thus Protocol 56- 
Ackermann failed due to an error in floating point comparison. 
Although an embedded Foundation employee noticed the error 
quickly and rectified it, thirty minutes had elapsed since the initial 
failure of Protocol 56-Ackermann. SCP-2223 had breached 
containment within seconds of Protocol 56-Ackermann's failure and 
released two new versions, SCP-2223-5 and SCP-2223-6, 
simultaneously. The novel cognitohazardous ability of SCP-2223-5 
and 6 resulted in greater public dissemination than predicted. 


SCP-2223-5 depicted an angry SCP-2223-A pointing her right index 
finger towards the viewer, while SCP-2223-6 was an image 
depicting SCP-2223-A in Site-15 instigating a containment breach of 


SCP-_ . Furthermore, the metadata of SCP-2223-6 indicated the 
GPS coordinates of Site-15. While the new cognitohazardous ability 
and the increasingly hostile nature of SCP-2223's illustrations were 
concerning, the public dissemination of the likeness of SCP- and 
Site-15's location constituted a severe information breach. A 
Foundation network security team immediately removed the original 
image and focused Foundation web crawlers towards recent 
uploads in social media and websites to expunge copies of 
SCP-2223-6 that had been reuploaded and shared by infected 
individuals. New photo uploads were disabled for several hours on 
almost all major image hosting and social media sites. Security was 
increased at Site-15 to protect against any external Gol attacks 
while SCP- containment teams were placed on heightened alert- 
no actual containment breach of SCP- occurred, however. 


Due to the fortuitously swift reinstitution of Protocol 56-Ackermann, 
the containment breach was extensive but ultimately manageable 
with Foundation resources. Foundation personnel across the world 
were deployed to deliver and administer class-C amnestics to the 
people affected by the containment breach. Preexisting measures 
aimed at eliminating existing SCP-2223 instances were intensified in 
the aftermath of this incident. 


Addendum 2223-3: Project Manager Dr. V received the 
following email in his inbox on / /20 : 


To the Foundation, 


We have recently become aware of your interference in 
our latest project. We meant no harm in this recent test - 
we simply needed the practice, and making our favorite 
anime girl known to the world happened to be an 
interesting application (btw [sic] you should really watch 
the anime To Aru Suugakuteki no Okusetsu4, then you'd 
get why we love Shizuki-chan so much). After all, they 
don't exactly teach the integration of anomalous 
phenomena in computer science courses or guides. 


Our further investigations into your Foundation, however, 
have yielded that you are the ones who mean harm. You 
have renditioned fellow men and women innocent of 


Human Cases 
11 November | Quito, Ecuador 1,331 13.9% 
2001 


The fourth outbreak of SCP-255 took place in an office building in 
the 12 de Octubre Avenue Business District of Quito, Ecuador. At 
the time of the outbreak, Ecuador had a population of approximately 
eleven million people. Additionally, the building in which the initial 
outbreak was localized was eleven stories high. The fourth outbreak 
is the first observed instance of SCP-255 being transmitted from 
person to person, with an incidence rate in laboratory conditions of 
13.9%. Infectious iterations of SCP-255 have since been observed 
to be transmitted from person to person by sustained close proximity 
(generally within a 2 m radius), despite the lack of observable 
pathogens. This change in pathogenecity, along with the higher 
initial number of cases, was responsible for the reclassification of 
SCP-255 to Keter effective 23 December 2001. 


Foundation operatives seized control of the building under the 
established World Health Organization cover. The size of the 
outbreak, however, mandated heightened secrecy protocols. Test 
subjects were transported to Bio Site-16 for observation. 


Similar to the second outbreak, infected individuals reported 
experiencing a phantom limb-like sensation. However, in this event 
the phenomenon was intensified greatly. Test subjects reported the 
sensation of seven additional limbs, originating at seemingly random 
points of the body with no apparent relation to existing anatomy. 
While the precise nature of the additional appendages was difficult 
to ascertain, infected persons reported that they felt as though they 
had three joints, were approximately a meter in length, and had no 
structure analogous to a hand or foot at the end. These "limbs" were 
apparently not subject to the painful contractions and sensations 
normally associated with amputees. However, subjects uniformally 
reported heightened distress at the sensation of seven additional 
limbs, moving independently of their control at most times. 


Additionally, test subjects lost conscious control of their left arms. At 
most times, subjects were unable to move their left arms. However, 
at 1100 hours local time each day, the left arms and hands of 
infected individuals would independently make motions analogous to 


crimes and exploited the most vulnerable in our society, 
those with no other options left to them. The time for 
fooling around with anime girls and funny cat pictures 
has come to an end. We are united under a mission. We 
have a purpose now. 


We accept no apologies or surrenders, only objectives. 
Celeramis 


Foundation web crawlers were unable to find relevant matches on 
the web for "Celeramis". No relevant online matches were found for 
either the English or Japanese titles of the anime referenced. 
Foundation network security teams traced the IP address of the 
sender to an unsold and unoccupied apartment in Denver, Colorado. 
Dr. V has received a new email address while his old address 
is monitored for new communications from "Celeramis". While it is 
possible that the email may provide further insight into the nature of 
SCP-2223 and its origins, it may also possibly be a hoax. In either 
case, the sender of the email possesses classified knowledge of the 
Foundation, and efforts to identify and apprehend the person/ 
organization are ongoing. 


It is possible, although unconfirmed, that "Shizuki" was intended to 
reference SCP-2223-A.

SCP-2224: Teeter-Pult 


Item #: SCP-2224 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2224 is located in the 
External Environmental Lab on Site 24. Level 2 security clearance or 
higher is required to access the object, in addition to permission 
from Dr. Darritz. 


Description: SCP-2224 is a teeter-totter made of wood and metal, 
fitted with two boards and four handles to accommodate up to four 
riders at a time. The object resembles an older style of teeter-totter 
which is no longer widely produced due to safety regulations in most 
countries. It was acquired from a village located in southern Finland 
after the Foundation was contacted by the local government. 


Each of SCP-2224's four seats have a single letter engraved into the 
wood where the rider would be positioned. The letters are A, B, ©, 
and D, with A and B engraved on one board, and © and D on the 
other. 


SCP-2224's effects only occur if a rider is sitting on the "A" or "©" 
seats, with another rider on the opposite end of the board. The 
effects are different depending on which seat is being utilized. Their 
individual effects are listed below. 


"A" Seat: The anomalous effect of the "A" seat is first initiated when 
both it and the "B" seat are occupied by riders. When the rider on 
the "A" seat pushes off from the ground causing the "B" seat to then 
touch the ground, the "A" seat rider will experience the feeling of 
being launched off the object, approximately 2.2 to 3 meters straight 
above the seat. When the "B" rider pushes off the ground again, the 
"A" rider will then feel as if they are falling back down on the seat at 
a velocity to be expected from their perceived height in the air. 
Visual and auditory hallucinations accompany this effect. 


The "A" rider's experience will always last approximately 2-3 
seconds, regardless of how long the "B" rider stays in the ground 
position after touching down. Tests have been done with the "B" 
rider staying in the ground position for up to 52 minutes, with the "A" 
rider not realizing how much time has passed until they are informed 
by the testing staff. The effect is broken as soon as the "B" rider 
leaves their seat, even if another person holds down the "B" end of 
the board first and takes the vacated seat. It can also be broken by 
removing the "A" rider from their seat(usually by tether) before they 
reach the ground position again. "A" riders who have the effect 
broken for them do not experience any anomalous feelings or 
hallucinations, or possibly forget them immediately. Testing has not 
yet yielded any other notable results for the "A" seat. 


"@" Seat: The anomalous effect of the "©" seat is initiated in a 
similar manner as the "A" seat's, with riders occupying both the "©" 
and "D" seats instead. It does differ in that the "D" rider must stay in 
the ground position for longer than 1.2 seconds after the "©" rider 
reaches their apex. The effect will not occur if the "D" rider's seat 
does not touch the ground at all, or the "D" rider immediately pushes 
off the ground again once their seat touches it. 


Unlike the "A" seat, riders on the "©" seat can have experiences that 
vary greatly in perceived time and velocity, depending on how long 
the "D" rider stays in the ground position. Due to the perceived time 
of the experience for riders of the "©" seat, their facial expressions 
will usually change rapidly while using SCP-2224, which often 
results in facial muscle tearing. "©" riders will often lose 
consciousness upon returning to the ground position, but only if the 
"D" rider maintained the ground position for longer than 20 seconds 
before pushing off the ground again. 


Breaking the effect is possible using the methods outlined for the "A" 
seat, with "©" riders having their experience nullified or forgotten 
similarly. Considerable testing of the "©" seat has been done to 
seek out any other similarities or differences between it and the "A" 
seat. Those results can be found in the table below. Tests beyond 
59 seconds are no longer authorized. 


+ "©" Seat Testing Results 


Time = amount of time the "D" rider spent in the ground 
position. Only D-Class personnel have been used to test 
SCP-2224's "©" seat so far. All tests have been 
conducted outdoors in the External Environmental Lab. 
SCP-2224's effects do not occur indoors.

Foreword: Interview with D-120048 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Darritz: Can you give me a detailed 
account of what you experienced? 


D-120048: I'm...I'm not sure. | only remember 
some Of it. It's...fuzzy. 


Dr. Darritz: Tell me what you do remember. 


D-120048: | remember going real fast, like, 
way too fast. My head hurt real bad, and | 
thought | was gonna suffocate. 


Dr. Darritz: What did you see? 


D-120048: | saw the ground gettin’ farther and 
farther away, an’ the next thing | know | was in 
the clouds. | think | passed out at some point, 
but then | woke up again. 


Dr. Darritz: And then? 


D-120048: | felt like | was slowin' down, an’ | 
heard a voice. It was real loud, but it still 
sounded far away. | could tell it was comin’ 
from a cloud in front of me. It sounded real 
weird though, like my old principal on the 
loudspeaker back in elementary school, only 
higher pitched. There was another sound 
behind it too, like a big roarin' jet engine. 


Dr. Darritz: What did the voice say? 


D-120048: |...| don't remember much of it, jus’ 
bits and pieces. | remember it sayin' somethin’ 
about gettin’ my ticket out. It sounded like it 
was tauntin' me, | remember now. It kept 
gettin’ louder an’ louder. 


Dr. Darritz: Did you see what the voice 
belonged to? 


D-120048: Well, not at first. | could jus’ tell it 
was comin’ from the cloud like | said. But yeah, 
it came out of the cloud after a bit, after the 


engine sound got so loud | thought my head 
was gonna burst. Things get real fuzzy though 
after that. 


Dr. Darritz: Any detail at all would be helpful. 
Take your time. 


D-120048: It was some sorta airplane, | know 
that for sure. But it was...pink...or pinkish | 
guess. | think it had a face, though. | jus’ 
remember it was huge, and it was comin’ right 
towards me, and it was screamin’ at me about 
my ticket. Shit, | dunno if | can handle this right 
now. 


Dr. Darritz: We can take a break if you'd like. 


D-120048: Nah, | only remember one more 
thing anyways. It's the last thing | remember 
before | woke up in this bed. | think | got 
sucked into one of the thing's jet engines. 


Dr. Darritz: Did you feel pain? 


D-120048: Oh yeah, | sure did. But it was only 
for a second and then things went black. Pretty 
sure the pink bastard ate me. 


Dr. Darritz: Ate you? What makes you say 
that? 


D-120048: 'Cause the last thing | remember 
before the pain hit was that it wasn't no regular 
jet engine. It was jus’ a gaping pink mouth with 
a lotta nasty lookin’ teeth. And it was where 
the voice and noise were comin’ from. It was 
screamin’ in my ears about my goddam ticket 
right until it...until it bit me in half.

what appeared to be the act of writing. When supplied with pen and 
paper, these individuals all wrote, in crudely formed script, the 
numbers "11 11 65", theorized at the time to be the date of the next 
outbreak, and confirmed eleven years later. 


All infected individuals ceased to be affected by SCP-255 within 3-4 
weeks. Test subjects were administered broad spectrum amnestics 
and released to Ecuadorian authorities. Foundation assets within the 
World Health Organization disseminated disinformation related to an 
exotic strain of malaria and subsequent treatment efforts as part of 
containment efforts.

The fifth and most recent outbreak of SCP-255 took place in 
Brussells, Belgium, where 11 individuals working on the eleventh 
floor of the NATO headquarters building all complained to medical 
staff of constantly hearing a set of eleven electronic tones, repeating 
constantly. Containment protocols were activated by Western 
Europe Sector personnel, and all infected subjects were transported 
to Bio Site-16. 


Test subjects continued to complain of hearing the repetitive set of 
tones. Most subjects experienced heightened stress and irritability, 
as well as sleep deprivation. Infected individuals were adminstered 
sedatives to ameliorate secondary SCP-255 symptoms. Testing of 
this group of infected individuals revealed the incidence rate of 
SCP-255 was now 100%, ensuring that any humans exposed to the 
subjects would contract it. 


Eleven days after the test subjects were secured at Bio Site-16, 
infected individuals reported a cessation of the perceived repetitive 
tones. One test subject immediately reported hearing an "electronic" 
voice, similar to that generated by speech simulation software, 
repeating the Spanish word "estrella". Once the subject reported the 
phenomenon to researchers, it immediately ceased, whereupon 
another of the original eleven test subjects reported a similar

they just kept getting smaller and smaller 

Som birds were even folowing me but | couldnt 
here them | guess they got to high up because 
their wings fell off and they started droping 

| got scared cuz | thought my arms were going 
to fall off and then | would fall too 

Then the sky turned pink and then | heard 
noises but | couldnt see what was making the 
noises and then the sky was black 

| got very cold when the sky turned black and | 
was scared but also exited because | thought 
maybe | would see the stars 

There werent any stars tho it was all black and 
when | looked back at the earth it was just a 
big pink ball 

Then it got small and it then it was gone 

| was so cold that it hurt and | thought | was 
going to die but then | looked down (I think it 
was down) and | saw something below me 

It was a big black sign that said CAVERAGE 
CO on it 

| started falling down towrds the sign and it 
had one of those little letter r's in a circle on it 
The sign was so big that | fell right threw that

Item #: SCP-2225 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2225 is currently 
contained in an enclosure on the outside grounds of Area-12. 
Access to SCP-2225 requires Level-4 authorization, and any 
personnel entering the enclosure are to be accompanied by a 
security guard. Should SCP-2225 become violent, it is to be 
tranquilized immediately and all personnel evacuated from the 
containment unit. As SCP-2225 is generally docile, care should be 
taken to avoid provoking or agitating it. Soeaking calmly, maintaining 
eye contact, and waiting for SCP-2225 to approach the speaker on 
its own have been found to lead to successful interactions. 


SCP-2225 is to be fed 10 grams of human hair daily; the hair must 
be obtained equally from two individuals! (e.g. about 5 grams from 
each) who must be on mutually friendly terms. A storage bank of 
hair samples is to be maintained and restocked as necessary for this 
purpose. There must be at all times a backup supply of two weeks’ 
meals. Should SCP-2225 show signs of malnutrition (determined to 
be excess shedding of skin), its daily ration is to be doubled for one 
week. 


A detailed record of the current providers of material for SCP-2225’s 
meals is to be kept. A list of backup provider profiles is to be 
available to all personnel assigned to SCP-2225, and updated 
monthly. 


Description: SCP-2225 is a serpentine entity possessing two 
forelegs and a spined, lizardlike head. It measures roughly nine 
meters long, and 0.5 meters at thickest body diameter. Chemical 
analysis of shed skin samples reveals that its body contains traces 
of silver. A crest of multicolored hair runs the length of SCP-2225’s 
back; lab testing indicates that various hair samples taken from 


SCP-2225 are consistent in composition with human hair. 


SCP-2225 is capable of limited communication.2 It appears to have 
difficulty forming words correctly, and its speech is halting. 
Nevertheless, all subjects report that its speech is clearly 
understandable in the listener's primary language. SCP-2225 is 
believed to be sapient, and based on interviews, seems to possess 
a simplistic mindset. 


SCP-2225’s diet consists solely of human hair. This was determined 
when SCP-2225 was initially discovered in a museum, attempting to 
tear apart an heirloom journal that had been in the exhibition 
storage. SCP-2225 was restrained and transported to a Foundation 
facility, and the journal studied. SCP-2225 had been attempting to 
extract and consume a small length of braided hair (noted in the 
journal to be part from the journal’s owner, part from their closest 
friend). 


Following inconclusive initial interviews with SCP-2225, various 
experimental trials were subsequently carried out to replicate 
SCP-2225's preferred sustenance. When SCP-2225 refused every 
generated hair sample, it was proposed that based on the origin of 
the recovered hair from the journal, experimental samples should be 
paired based on current relationships between providers. The 
“friend” trials¢ were the only samples SCP-2225 did not reject. It is 
unknown whether providers of SCP-2225's sustenance experience 
any adverse effects, but none have been noted thus far. 


SCP-2225 is able to, at irregular intervals, materialize small trinkets 
from its hair crest. These items are either silver-colored or 
containing silver (noted items have included coins, grooming 
apparatus, and various articles of jewelry, most commonly lockets). 
This usually follows regurgitation of hair samples. Researchers have 
allowed it to keep most of the items it has recovered in this manner; 
SCP-2225 becomes aggressive when personnel attempt to take 
away objects by force. However, it has given away all items that 
pertain to Foundation personnel whose hair it has consumed. (See 
interview log) 


Interview Log 2225-3- - : The following interview, 
conducted on / / between Dr. Mark Kiryu and 


SCP-2225, suggests a possible childhood of SCP-2225 
and may partially explain its behavior. 


Dr. Kiryu: Good morning. 
SCP-2225: [looks inquiringly at Kiryu] For me? 
Dr. Kiryu: Here’s your meal. | hope it’s to your liking. 


SCP-2225: [begins to sniff at hair samples, chews on a 
few strands] For me, | must return what | stole. 
Friendships are feasts, but | wanted friends. 


Dr. Kiryu: Actually, | don’t know if you’ve met those who 
gave the hair, but they apparently have quite the history. 
Lots of adventures as children. 


SCP-2225: [begins retching, vomits up a mass of hair, 
and examines it] For child friends... [SCP-2225 leans on 
a nearby boulder, and uses one of its limbs to dislodge 
an object from its hair crest] | had none. | will return what 
| stole. Feasts are forgotten. [SCP-2225 picks up the 
object, later determined to be a small silver-colored 
model airplane, in its claws and deposits it next to Kiryu] 
It looked like me, but was not for me. Not a friend. For 
you, return? 


Dr. Kiryu: For me? | don’t think | should keep it. 


SCP-2225: [shakes head] For them, return what was 
stolen. 


Dr. Kiryu: | think I’ve got it. This belonged to the two of 
them, didn’t it? 


SCP-2225: [nods head] For two friends. Return to them. 
What was stolen. What | stole. | had feasts, but | have 
nothing for me. 


Dr. Kiryu: | see. I'll bring it to them. What made you 
decide to give these things back? 


SCP-2225: [facial expression approximates a smile] For 
friends. 


Note: When questioned, D-3178 and D-3179 stated that 
the airplane was a childhood plaything they had 
constructed together, during the beginning of their 
acquaintance. Both had believed it lost in a lake at some 
point, because a small snake swimming in the water had 
startled one of them into dropping it. The snake, as 
remembered by D-3179, was silver-colored. 


Footnotes 

1. The personnel currently assigned as providers are D-3178 and 
D-3179. 

2. It is noted that SCP-2225 initially spoke very little with Foundation 
staff, but became gradually more vocal when it was being fed 
correctly. 

3. The first round of experimentation focused on replicating the 
hairs’ chemical composition either synthetically or matching with 
samples collected from on-site staff.

SCP-2226: Annihilation 


Item #: SCP-2226 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2226 is to be suspended 
within the 1,000 T paramagnetic field of a standard antimaterial 
containment unit! which must be constantly monitored by at least 
one antimaterial containment technician and two armed security 
personnel. The unit housing SCP-2226 must be held within an 
appropriately sized chamber supplied electricity indefinitely with a 
power supply connected to at least two backup reactors. The 
chamber must be lined with a material suitable for blocking the 
2.15 kHz radio transmissions broadcasted from SCP-2226. 


SCP-2226 must be stored at Lunar Site-13. Terrestrial storage 
would be needlessly problematic as a containment breach during 
atmospheric reentry would have catastrophic consequences and 
create immense censorship difficulties. 


Description: SCP-2226 is an extraterrestrial escape craft 
composed entirely of antimatter. The object is ellipsoid in shape and 
constructed from an alloy of the antimatter counterparts of iron, tin, 
and nickel with a mass of 847 kg and semi-principal axes of 4.10 m, 
1.72 m, and 1.50 m. It has eight maneuvering thrusters arranged in 
two sets of four around each of its ends. In the center of SCP-2226 
there is a 0.73 m wide circular, transparent hatch through which the 
object’s interior is visible. The hatch's transparency seems to be 
only a consequence of its composition, which spectrographic tests 
reveal to be a form of enameled glass, and not intended to make the 
surroundings of SCP-2226 visible (see description of SCP-2226-1). 


SCP-2226 broadcasts a 2.15 kHz radio transmission lasting for 
approximately 5 seconds every 7 seconds. Transmission contents 
vary slightly from broadcast to broadcast and seem to express the 
object's positional coordinates for any vessels within range of the 


signal.2 


Inside SCP-2226 is a compact control panel with several knobs and 
levers that seem to control the object's maneuvering thrusters and 
radio transmitter. In the center of the panel is a tactile display 
consisting of a rectangular grid of fifty by twenty minute metal pegs 
which individually raise and lower to indicate internal and external 
conditions. Underneath the panel is a storage chest containing a 
small, stringed instrument composed of metal. Resembling a 
Vietnamese k'ni,3 it consists of a post with a main string running 
down its length and a sympathetic string attaching the main string to 
a resonating membrane. The interior floor is littered with fourteen 
empty metal containers once holding an unidentified purple paste 
(see event log 2226-B). 


Beside the control panel is a vaguely humanoid entity resting within 
what is believed to be a suspended animation chamber. Designated 
as SCP-2226-1, the entity measures 2.45 m in height. Its skin is a 
deep mauve and it possesses two pairs of upper limbs and a single 
pair of lower limbs connected to its torso. Its upper limbs terminate 
in a hand with seven webbed fingers while its lower limbs terminate 
in feet with seven shorter digits. SCP-2226-1 lacks a distinct head 
and instead has its main sensory structures (two large, pteropine4 
ears; three nasal slits; one mouth with protruding fangs) centered in 
its torso. As no eyes or photoreceptive organs are visible5 on the 
creature's body, it is assumed to perceive its surroundings through 
echolocation. Its visible teeth suggest a carnivorous or omnivorous 
diet, though it has only been observed eating onboard provisions. As 
it hasn't been observed excreting waste it is assumed all metabolic 
byproducts are released during exhalation. 


A translucent mask is fitted over the nasal slits and mouth of 
SCP-2226-1, supplying it an unidentified respiratory gas from a tank 
beside the chamber estimated at 5.6 L in volume. Given that the 
tank has not yet been exhausted and appears to be connected to 
the interior wall, SCP-2226 likely has an onboard system that 
removes waste products from and recirculates exhaled gas. 


It is unknown how long the vital processes of SCP-2226-1 will 
remain in suspension or how long the radio transmitter of SCP-2226 
will remain functional. SCP-2226 does not appear to contain any 


remaining provisions. 


Event Log 2226-A: Details of event leading to Foundation recovery 
of SCP-2226 on 05/16/1999. 


05:13 Extraterrestrial vessel appears in flash of white 
light at an altitude of approximately 130,000 m above far 
side of moon. Vessel is dull grey in color and ellipsoid in 
shape, with semi-principal axes of approximately 30 m, 
17 m, and 15 m. Vessel appears critically damaged with 
starboard side of hull partially molten and trailing debris. 


05:16 Vessel altitude 126,000 m. Five of eight thrusters 
on the stern of vessel ignite. Vessel achieves 
acceleration of approximately 16 m/s?. Entity or entities 
piloting vessel seem to be attempting lunar orbit. 


05:19 Vessel altitude 122,000 m. Stern of vessel 
explodes. Velocity proves insufficient to achieve orbit. 


05:25 Vessel altitude 113,000 m. Vessel ejects 
SCP-2226. SCP-2226 begins transmitting radio signal 
and its maneuvering thrusters engage. Entity piloting 
SCP-2226 appears to be attempting lunar orbit. 


05:29 Vessel altitude 109,000 m, SCP-2226 altitude 
110,000 m. 


05:32 Vessel altitude 97,000 m, SCP-2226 altitude 
112,000 m. 


05:36 Vessel altitude 82,000 m, SCP-2226 altitude 
114,000 m. SCP-2226 achieves lunar orbit. 


05:57 Vessel impacts far side of lunar surface, resulting 
in an explosion estimated at 430 gigatons in strength. 
Explosion releases burst of high-energy gamma rays and 
neutrinos. 


06:03 No trace of vessel remains. Resulting crater 
estimated at 15 km in width and 4 km in depth. 


06:35 Foundation researchers determine vessel was 
composed of antimatter. SCP-2226 composition also 
ruled to be of antimatter. 


09:54 Magnetic Recovery Ship 7782 (“Faraday’s Lover”) 
launched from Lunar Site-13. 


11:37 As Faraday's Lover begins to approach 
SCP-2226, the object's maneuvering thrusters engage. 
The entity piloting the object appears to be taking 
evasive action. Faraday's Lover begins pursuit of 
SCP-2226, maintaining safe distance of 200 m. 


17:45 Maneuvering thrusters of SCP-2226 cease firing, 
having apparently expended their fuel supply. Faraday's 
Lover matches the object's velocity. 


17:56 Having evacuated the air from its containment 
bay, the crew of Faraday's Lover activates the ship's field 
generators and successfully recovers SCP-2226. 


20:02 SCP-2226 brought to Lunar Site-13. Preliminary 
containment procedures begin. 


Note: The antimatter explosion has been censored from scientific 
publications. Radar jamming has successfully prevented the 
detection of the resulting crater by lunar orbiters. 


Event Log 2226-B: Details of SCP-2226-1 activity following object 
recovery. 


05/16/1999 After SCP-2226 is pulled into the 
containment bay of Faraday's Lover, an entity can be 
seen within the object through a transparent hatch. The 
entity, hereafter referred to as SCP-2226-1, adjusts the 
knobs and levers present on the object's control panel 
with its upper hands and runs its fingers over the tactile 
display with its lower hands. SCP-2226-1 continues 
manipulating controls for approximately six hours 
following the placement of SCP-2226 within an 
antimaterial containment unit for indefinite storage. This 


produces no noticeable effects. 


05/17/1999 SCP-2226-1 retrieves a metal container from 
an onboard storage chest and consumes its contents. 
Container holds an unidentified paste. Upon finishing its 
contents, SCP-2226-1 returns to the object's control 
panel and manipulates its controls. This produces no 
noticeable effects. After two hours, SCP-2226-1 lies on 
interior floor and appears to fall asleep. 


05/18/1999 SCP-2226-1 consumes another container of 
paste. It retrieves a small, stringed instrument from the 
storage chest aboard SCP-2226. For seven hours, the 
creature plays the instrument by holding the membrane 
in its mouth and using two bows to vibrate its main string, 
pausing occasionally. The creature's mouth appears to 
act as a resonator for the instrument akin to the sound 
hole of a guitar. SCP-2226-1 then places the instrument 
in the chest and appears to fall asleep. 


This behavior continues for several days. 


05/30/1999 SCP-2226-1 consumes what appears to be 
the final onboard container of paste. 


06/02/1999 SCP-2226-1 manipulates the object's 
controls. Its movements at first seem methodical but 
grow erratic after a few minutes. SCP-2226-1 forms its 
four hands into fists and strikes them against the control 
panel. The creature then tosses several of the empty 
paste containers against the object's interior walls before 
repeatedly striking the interior of the transparent hatch. 
This activity produces no noticeable effects or damage to 
SCP-2226. 


After two hours, SCP-2226-1 lies against interior floor 
and appears to fall asleep. 


06/03/1999 SCP-2226-1 opens door of transparent 
chamber affixed to interior wall of SCP-2226. The 
creature places a mask over its nasal slits and mouth 


phenomenon. The original cluster of infected individuals appear to 
comprise a phrase in this manner, the constituent words of which 
were repeated in order for every new case of infection beyond this 
group. The phrase is transcribed below, translated from Spanish to 
English for this version of the document: 


BINARY STAR LOST NOT LOST TRANSPOSE DEAD 
INSTRUCTION URGENT AWAIT TRANSMISSION 


Upon relating to researchers this particular symptom, all test 
subjects ceased to display any signs of SCP-255 infection. Subjects 
were amnesticized per SCP-255 guidelines and released.

SCP-2227: If You See Something, Say Something 


Item #: SCP-2227 
Object Class: Euclid (Pending Containment) 


Special Containment Procedures: Containment is currently limited 
to suppressing public knowledge of SCP-2227. Any broadcasts 
related to the entities are to be intercepted, and witnesses are to be 
administered Class-B amnestics after demanifestation. Agents 
under the guise of NYPD officers are to be posted in areas where 
SCP-2227-1 instances are likely to manifest. They are to monitor 
and document all activities of an SCP-2227-1 instance until it 
demanifests. Personnel are to refrain from making direct contact 
with the instance. 


Containment efforts are currently focused on SCP-2227-A, believed 
to be the cause of all instances of SCP-2227-1. 


Containment Protocol 2227-14 is scheduled, with the following 
procedures: 


An area in which an instance of SCP-2227-1 is currently occupying 
will be closed off to the public under the guise of maintenance. 
During the shutdown, MTF Mu-13 (“Ghostbusters”) will occupy the 
area. Lead personnel (dubbed "A Units") will be instructed to monitor 
SCP-2227-A via live video. The other personne! (dubbed "B Units") 
will refrain from making direct contact with SCP-2227-1 instances. 


Personnel assigned to containment will be informed on the location 
of SCP-2227-A (currently the Street Station). Contact the 
Project Lead for further information. 


The site of provisional containment will be temporarily closed to the 
public, under the guise of renovation. During the shutdown, MTF 
Mu-13 ("Ghostbusters") will occupy the area. SCP-2227-A will be 
monitored remotely by Lead personnel (dubbed "A Units"), while 


Secondary personnel will be present on site (dubbed "B Units"). 
SCP-2227-A will be contained within a Temporary Incorporeal 
Humanoid Chamber (TIHC). B Units will have additional TIHCs on 
site, in the event of SCP-2227-1 instances manifesting. 


The A Units and B Units are to contain SCP-2227-A and 
SCP-2227-1, respectively, in separate TIHCs. All entities are to be 
sent to Site-132 for further containment and observation. 


Additional personnel are to rescue the instances found within the 
subway tunnels, as documented by Mr. George . Contact the 
Project Lead for further information. 


Description: SCP-2227 is a collective group of incorporeal 
humanoid entities that manifest within the various subway stations of 
the New York Metropolitan area. Each instance (hereby designated 
SCP-2227-1) is of variable appearance, but most commonly wears 
disordered clothing and a black knapsack. They most likely manifest 
in stations with express service, the most common being the 

Street Stationand Street Station. An SCP-2227-1 
instance will demanifest whenever a subject makes direct contact 
with it. 


Each instance is identified by an entity following it (hereby 
designated SCP-2227-A). SCP-2227-A is a black humanoid figure 
with variable attire and is estimated to be 1.7 meters tall. This entity 
can only be viewed via recorded video of SCP-2227-1 instances. 
Further information on SCP-2227-A requires 2227/3 Security 
Clearance. 


An SCP-2227-1 instance initially manifests near the turnstiles of a 
station. In 80 percent of manifestations, the entity will jump over the 
turnstile or enter through the emergency door to gain access to the 
station. After it has successfully entered the station, SCP-2227-1 will 
panhandle. 


After an undetermined period of time, (the shortest recorded time 
after manifestation being 30 minutes, and the longest record time 
being 56 days) the instance will be likely to propel itself into the path 
of an oncoming train. Upon contact with the train, the SCP-2227-1 
instance will demanifest. Further manifestations of the same 


instance will always be within the station. Instances appear unable 
to exit the station; doing so results in demanifestation from the 
station, followed by re-manifestation in a nearby station. 


Discovery: Anomalous activity was documented during / /20 , 
inside the Avenue Station. An African-American male was seen 
at the station in distress, wearing a white dress shirt, black pleated 
pants, and holding a briefcase. The man took out a piece of paper 
from the briefcase, later revealed to be an eviction notice. He stared 
at the paper for several seconds before he crumpled and discarded 
it onto the railway. The man then produced a photograph from his 
wallet, and proceeded to look at it for approximately 2 minutes. The 
man was sobbing during this time. 


Shortly before a train boarded the station, the man became severely 
deformed due to his limbs simultaneously stretching outward. His 
body contorted and began to collapse inward before demanifesting. 
Shortly afterward, an incorporeal entity resembling the person 
materialized in the station. It demanifested after making contact with 
a witness. 


Contents recovered from the discarded paper and briefcase 


revealed the man to be George , who presumably resided at 
[REDACTED]. The tenants and landlord at the retrieved address did 
not recall the existence of Mr. , despite a lease agreement 
under his name. Members at Mr. 's previous area of 


employment yielded similar results. 


In the weeks following the event, reports of similar incorporeal 
entities within subway stations manifested, leading to the current 
classification of SCP-2227. 


Addendum 2227-E-01: INFORMATION RESTRICTED TO LEVEL 3 
PERSONNEL OR ABOVE 


+ INPUT CREDENTIALS 


SCP-2227-A moves independently during periods of 
SCP-2227-1 activity. SCP-2227-A is noted to follow 
random persons within the station. While following said 
persons, the entity will produce what appears to be a 


small notepad and writing tool, and proceed to write in it. 
This is currently hypothesized to be a method of 
selection for new SCP-2227 instances. However, further 
observation of these persons have not led to any 
significant details. 


It is also noted that prior to an SCP-2227-1 instance 
propelling itself in front of a train, SCP-2227-A expresses 
distress and anger towards the event. Recorded video 
shows that SCP-2227-A pulls SCP-2227-1 away from 
the train immediately before dematerialization. 


Several instances of SCP-2227-1 have shown to 
possess bruises, cuts, and other mild to moderate 
physical injuries. In addition, SCP-2227-A has recently 
donned attire similar to what is found in an office 
environment. SCP-2227-A also monitors SCP-2227-1 
instances more often during periods of activity. This 
scrutiny is also followed by SCP-2227-A taking money or 
perishables that SCP-2227-1 might have received. An 
SCP-2227-1 instance does not recognize this, and 
instead views the missing goods as lost. 


Addendum 2227-E-02: INFORMATION RESTRICTED TO LEVEL 3 
PERSONNEL OR ABOVE 


+ INPUT CREDENTIALS 


The most recent incident including SCP-2227-A is as 
follows: 


SCP-2227-A was seen trying to exit the Station. 
It was physically unable to do so; attempts led to it being 
deterred by an unseen force. Two instances of 
SCP-2227-1 manifested near it shortly after. 


Both instances attempted to throw SCP-2227-A over the 
turnstiles. SCP-2227-A became suspended in air, 
approximately two meters above said turnstiles. 
SCP-2227-A displayed distress. Both instances 
attempted to exit the station again with success. 


SCP-2227-A displayed what appeared to be hostility by 
flailing its limbs in the air. 


Both instances are considered to no longer be 
anomalous; their interaction with persons in the station 
did not result in effects congruent with SCP-2227-1 
instances. They were later identified to be George 

and Janet , two persons noted to be missing, with the 
former being the cause of discovery for the SCP-2227 
phenomenon. Both persons are scheduled for interview 
and reintroduction into the population following amnestic 
treatment. 


Addendum 2227-E-03: The following are interviews of the 
aforementioned individuals (refer to Addendum 2227-E-02 for 
details), conducted by Junior Researcher Mark 


+ Open Interview 


Foreward: The following interview is of Janet 
. Prior to the interview, Mrs. was 
briefed on why she was held in custody. Mrs. 

was amnesticized after the interview and 
is awaiting reintroduction into the population. 


<Begin Log> 


Researcher: Good afternoon, Mrs. . We're 
gonna ask you a few questions about the black 
figure you've seen recently. 


Mrs. : Of course. 


Researcher: Would you mind explaining how 
you found it? 


Mrs. : Well, it actually found me. To make 
a long story short, | got my degree back in 
June, but | was struggling to make ends meet. 
It was only after | lost my night job that things 
started to appear. 


Researcher: Elaborate on what was 
appearing. 


Mrs. : Sometimes, when | would wait by 
the train station, I'd see a black figure out of 
the corner of my eye. Never thought anything 
of it at first. lt was always for a split second, 
and usually right before the train came to the 
station. | think | was just paranoid. There are 
these news reports of women being attacked 
on the train, and | thought | would be a target. 


Researcher: | understand. Please go on. 


Mrs. : Right. That went on for about a 
week. But then one day, | saw it began to 
follow me. | was walking out the station, but it 
was just walking towards me. Almost crawling. 
| said nothing of it and walked faster, and that 
black thing kept up with me. No one noticed, | 
guess, because it was walking right through 
people. | eventually exited the station, and it 
vanished. 


| tried reporting it to security, but they claimed 
that they didn't see anything. 


Researcher: When did you first make contact 
with the entity? 


Mrs. : I'd say a few days later. At this time, 
| was getting off the train. It was maybe 11:00, 
or 12:00. Let's just say the station was empty. 
[pause] And then it came. It appeared right in 
front of me, just before | got to the exit. | didn't 
know what to do. | could've ran, or screamed, 
or done something. But it was just there. The 
figure reached out its hand to grab mine. And 
that was it. | was no longer in that station. 


Researcher: And what happened after? 


Mrs. : | only remember appearing in 
another station. | was wearing different 
clothes. They were baggy, oversized, tattered, 
disgusting. Ugh, a fucking mess. | was also 
holding a tin can. That black figure appeared 
again, but only to offer me food or bring me to 
another station. And every time I'd try to touch 
someone, I'd appear somewhere else. | move 
towards the exit, and then I'm somewhere 
else. | try to talk to someone, I'm somewhere 
else. | go board a train, | appear somewhere 
else. |so much as go to a concession stand to 
buy a candy bar, | appear somewhere else. 


Researcher: Anything else happened while 
you were manifesting between stations? 


Mrs. : [slumps shoulders] At one point, | 
considered ending it all. | had no idea what 
was going on. All | knew is that | was begging 
for change in a place | couldn't escape from. 
And that thing was behind it all. | jumped in 
front the 7 train. And then it appears again. 
And before | know it, I'm at another station. 


One time | wanted to hit that thing. I'm pretty 
sure | did. But instead, | got a bruise on my 
face right where | would've hit it. | couldn't do 
anything. | didn't know what was going on. 
Even now, | don't know what happened while | 
was panhandling. 


Researcher: Can you describe how you 
escaped from it? 


Mrs. : Barely. It was really foggy. | met a 
man, who looked just as shitty as | did. And he 
told me that he knew how to escape. Before | 
knew it, we were carrying that thing and threw 
it over the turnstile. The figure got stuck, and 
then we were finally able to escape the station. 


We ran out on the street, almost crying in joy. 


Researcher: Mhm. Do you have anything else 
to add before we conclude the interview? 


Mrs. : [pause] Uhh. | remember the figure 
smiling? | don't know how, but it was. It looked 
sad, but then it smiled. It looked at us and | 
remember hearing ‘good luck’. 


<End Log> 


Foreward: The following excerpt is an 
interview of George . Prior to the 
interview, Mr. was briefed on why he 
was held in custody. Mr. was 
amnesticized after the interview and is 
awaiting reintroduction into the population. 


<Begin Log> 


Researcher: Can you tell us what you did 
while under the black figure? 


Mr. : Well, it's like | said. At first | was 
begging for change on the subway. Everyday, 
| was stuck in those stations, and everyday, 
there was just no way out. I, like Janet, 
considered jumping on the tracks. But | knew 
that wasn't the way to go. | had to find a way 
out. And so | figured maybe if | gather more 
pennies, | would get a break. 


At some point, | realized that this was a job. 
The shadow man, black guy, whatever you call 
it. He was my boss. If | worked hard enough, 
maybe, just maybe, | can get a promotion. 


One day, he came up to me. Tapped me on 
the shoulder. He pointed towards the end of 
the station and started walking. At first | stood 


still, right where | was. Then the figure stared 
right at me. No eyes or nothing, but | felt him 
staring right into me. So | followed. 


We walked down the end of the station and 
into the tunnels. I'm not sure how long we 
walked down there. It must've felt like hours. 
Eventually, in all that darkness, we came to a 
door. The figure stood at the door for a 
second, then he leaned in real close, like he 
was about to whisper his greatest secret. Then 
that door opened. We walked inside. 


When we stepped inside, it was just as dimly lit 
and stinky as the rest of the tunnels. Except 
there were a bunch of people. These people 
were just like me and Janet. Their clothes 
were torn and dirty, and it looked like they 
haven't showered in weeks. | remember their 
eyes. Their eyes were always wide open, and 
big. Very big. And every so often, a person 
would disappear, or reappear in this place. 
And every time, they would return with those 
huge, open eyes. They never moved, or 
spoke, and they were always different 
positions. Some standing, some sitting. A few 
of them looked like they were diving into a 
pool. 


The figure pointed at me, then pointed at the 
people. He made this sort of motion with his 
fingers, which | guess meant to watch over 
them. So that was my new job. To watch these 
people. 


| guess | was watching over these people for a 
few weeks. Maybe months. One day, the 
figure had come to me and motioned me to 
follow him again. We didn't walk long, since it 
was still within that room. He pointed to some 
pictures up on a wall. A lot of them were of 


SCP-256: Trapped in the Typewriter 


Item #: SCP-256 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-256 is contained within a 
cubic chamber 3 m (10 ft) on a side, with 1 m (8 ft) thick walls 
composed of a mixture of brick and rubberized layers, with two 
conductive rods sticking out 18 cm (7 in) from the walls to either side 
of the entrance. Entrance is restricted by a soundproof airlock. 
Chamber is to be constantly under surveillance by EMR device and 
video camera. Entry and surveillance are restricted to only 
authorized personnel who have undergone surgical adaptation to 
resist the effects of SCP-256. To see a list of authorized personnel, 
see document SCP-256b. Personnel not on this list may enter if they 
are security clearance Level 3 or above, but must wear sound- 
canceling earphones. All personnel must be stripped of all 
electronics, ferrous metals and conductive material. They are also 
required to wear a specially designed insulated and redirective 
bodysuit (HAZMAT-ELEC) which must be tested before wearing, 
before entrance, and after exit with a significant charge. A taser is 
supplied and is rated high enough for testing use. The only 
recording allowed aside from the EMR device is done by hand. SCP 
standard office paper is suitable, but writing instruments must be 
nonconductive. Crayons are kept on hand. 


Description: Moved to Site 76 on 03-02-2007. SCP-256 is similar to 
a typewriter in most respects, except that the keys are fixed in 
position, rather than connected to levers, and instead of a rollbar 
and most of the machinery that should be present, two concave 
copper discs stand on either end, facing inward, 38 cm (15 in) apart. 
While invisible to the naked eye, EM readings show that a significant 
electrical charge passes between the copper discs without any 
conductive medium. If any of the prohibited items are brought into 
the containment chamber, this current increases in both amplitude 


various streets in the city. A few buildings. 
Some of them were of people in the subway. 


He pointed at a few pictures of homeless 
people in the subways. He kept pointing 
between those pictures and to the people 
behind us. This told me that | was watching 
other homeless people like myself. And then 
he made emphasis on this one picture. 


The picture was a figure just like him, except 
dark purple. Or blue. He kept pointing between 
that picture and a picture of a turnstile. He also 
pointed at another picture with a whole bunch 
of dark figures. Maybe they were people he 
knew. He stared at me for a moment. Then he 
left. 


| didn't understand what he was trying to say 
at first. But eventually, | thought | understood. 
So | thought of a plan. Suppose | should say 
how | met Janet now? 


Researcher: Of course. 


Mr. : Alright. I'm guessing for a few days 
| was watching the people again. | realized the 
figure wasn't around. People kept blinking in 
and out, but | was left without food or water. | 
looked around and had to leave. | followed the 
tracks in the tunnels until | came into a station. 
It was late at night, judging from how empty 
the station was. | walked through the station to 
find a stand, or something in the trash. But 
there was nothing. The stands were closed 
and the garbage was just that - garbage. 


Eventually | find a homeless woman sitting by 
a bench. And thank god | did, because she 
had half a sandwich and a can of cola to split 
with me. 


After some time, she had told me her name. 
Janet. We started talking to each other about 
our situations. She was working under the 
black figure, just like me. | told her everything | 
knew about him, and figured it would be best 
to escape the station with her. 


So the plan went like this. Janet was going to 
jump in front of a train so that she could return 
to the place. | was going to tell him | found a 
way for him to quit his job, or escape this 
place. At least, based on what he showed me. 
He was going to take us with him, and at the 
last minute, we ditch him and escape. 


Sometime later, he did just that. He 
summoned me and Janet to a turnstile at a 
station and motioned for us to help him. We 
picked him up and threw him over the turnstile, 
hoping he would teleport some place, just like 
us when we tried to escape. And while he was 
gone, we could make a run for it. 


It did work. Neither of us really knew why the 
figure got stuck in the turnstile. He seemed 
frustrated at first, flipping like a fish. He 
especially looked at me. 


Maybe he was working to survive, just like us. 
At the last second, he seemed to smile. And | 
thought | heard something from him. | still don't 
know what he said, since me and Janet made 
a run for it shortly after. But whatever he said, | 
hope it was for the best.

SCP-2228: Foundation Playsets 


Item #: SCP-2228 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-2228 are to 
be stored in their original packaging inside storage vault 12 at Site 
73. Access to SCP-2228 requires level 2 credentials, and any 
instances of SCP-2228 removed from storage vault 12 for any 
reason must be logged on Site 73's database. 


Description: SCP-2228 refers to a series of identical boxed sets, 
each 30x30x15 cm in length, of polyethylene figurines labeled "SCP 
Foundation Containment Site Playset", with Dr. Wondertainment 
given as the items' manufacturer. The graphics covering the 
packaging consist of the following: an SCP Foundation logo with the 
playset's title written beneath it, above an artist's depiction of a 
Foundation containment cell containing a creature with several violet 
tentacles assaulting what appears to be a Class-D individual through 
its open door, along with two individuals in lab coats taking cover 
under a table, and two individuals in tactical gear opening fire on the 
creature. The sides of the box are illustrated with photographs of the 
contents of the box in various configurations, most with children's 
hands manipulating the objects. The underside of the box details its 
contents and displays the following message: 


Object Class: Fun 


Special Containment Procedures: All "junior 
researchers" are to have hours of anomalous fun with 
their new SCP Foundation™ Containment Site 
Playset™! 


Description: The SCP Foundation™ Containment Site 
Playset™ contains everything a "junior researcher" such 
as yourself needs to Secure, Contain, and Protect™ 


anything you can imagine. Simply add any item into the 
Containment Cell and our patented insta-anomalizer™ 
technology will give it a unique set of anomalous 
properties you can experiment on! 


Addendum: Do not add living creatures, weapons, or 
items with pre-existing anomalous properties to the 
Containment Cell's insta-anomalizer™. Dr. 
Wondertainment is not responsible for any physical or 
mental damage caused by misuse of The SCP 
Foundation™ Containment Site Playset™. Ages 8-14. 
Some assembly required. Batteries not included. 


The SCP Foundation, SCP Foundation logo, and "Secure, Contain, 
Protect" are registered trademarks of the SCP Foundation. All rights 
reserved. 


The contents of the box are as follows: 


2 models, 10cm in height, of individuals dressed in lab coats 
with Foundation logos on the right breast. 

2 models, 10cm in height, of individuals equipped with gear 
typical of Foundation security personnel. 

1 model, 10cm in height, of an individual in an orange 
jumpsuit with "D-1234" written across the back. 

Several model accessories, including clipboards, test tubes, 
pistols, and batons designed to be held by the above models. 
1 disassembled enclosure, approximately 20x20x10cm in 
dimensions. Along the enclosure's front side, there is a blast 
door style opening with "Containment Cell" written above it. Its 
left side has a transparent window, and its back side has what 
appears to be a generator or power supply, with a removable 
panel for the insertion of 2 AA batteries. 

1 10x15cm sheet of paper containing information on an 
upcoming "Global Occult Coalition Type Green Termination 
Playset". 


SCP-2228's anomalous effects manifests whenever an object small 
enough to fit inside the "Containment Cell" is placed within it when 2 
AA batteries are inserted into its back panel.’ The item will develop 

minor anomalous properties for the duration of an individual 


interacting with SCP-2228. These properties typically manifest as 
anomalous means of interaction with other components of 
SCP-2228. 


Recovery: 300 instances of SCP-2228 were recovered in transit 
from a truck owned by the Shipping Company following the 
interception of a commercial broadcast on 5-19-2003. Debriefing of 
Shipping Company's employers has revealed that they were 
not aware of any anomalous activities by Dr. Wondertainment, and 
had only recently accepted a contract for the shipment of the 
organization's products to local retailers. All employees were 
administered Class B amnestics with false memories implanted, and 
documents concerning the shipment were replaced. The broadcast 
that led to the discovery of SCP-2228 has been transcribed below. 


Transcript 2228-01 


Scene opens with two children, one male (Subject A) 
and one female (Subject B), approximately 8-12 years of 
age, expressing disinterest while playing with toys in a 
suburban household. 


Subject A: These old toys sure are boring. 
Subject B: Uh-huh! 


A bright flash and a puff of smoke occur behind Subjects 
A and B. The smoke clears, revealing a middle-aged 
male wearing a multi-colored suit and top hat, along with 
thick glasses that magnify the subject's eyes to an 
exaggerated degree.(Subject C). 


Subjects A and B: Doctor Wondertainment!2 


Subject C: That's right, children! Why just play with 
those boring old toys when you can... 


Subject C points at the set's dining room table. Another 
bright flash and puff of smoke is seen, which reveals a 
fully assembled instance of SCP-2228 when it clears. 


Subject C: ...contain them! 


View changes to Subjects A and B, who are now 
dressed in lab coats. 


Subjects A and B: Woah! 


View changes again to an isometric view of the fully 
assembled SCP-2228. Subject B places a toy horse in 
the containment cell. This toy horse appears to teleport 
within the cell several times. Small text appears on the 
bottom of the screen reading "Actual results may vary". 


Subject B: My horsey can teleport now! 


Subject A places a toy soldier in the cell. The class-D 
figurine appears to spontaneously levitate before being 
slammed repeatedly against the cell walls. 


Subject A: And my action figure can move things with 
his mind! 


The blast door of the cell opens, and one of the 
researcher figurines repeats the actions of the class-D 
figurine. 


Subject A: Oh, no! a containment breach! 
Subject B: We better send in security! 


Subject B places one of the security figurines in the 
enclosure. The soldier figurine shakes in place for a 
short period before falling over. View changes to a static 
image of a box containing SCP-2228 laid on its side, 
behind a fully assembled instance of SCP-2228. 


Voice over of Subject C: With the SCP Foundation 
containment site play set, you can have anomalous 
amounts of fun helping our friends at the SCP 
Foundation contain anything you can imagine. Coming 
soon to a store near you. Some assembly required. 
Batteries not included. 


Undercover Foundation agents have conducted interviews with 24 


individuals, including actors, directors, and technical specialists 
involved with the production of this broadcast, which revealed that 
none involved were aware of the objects' anomalous properties, nor 
were they aware of the activities or actual existence of the SCP 
Foundation. Further research revealed that the mass production of 
SCP-2228 had been outsourced to Manufacturing, and the 
graphics on the box were outsourced to Designs, with a total of 
no fewer than 200 individuals gaining limited knowledge of the 
Foundation and Dr. Wondertainment. This has been classified as a 
Class-1 (Low Threat) information leak.3 As such, further amnestic 
treatments have been deemed unnecessary, and a Class-1 
disinformation campaign was put into place. The SCP Foundation 
and the Global Occult Coalition are currently monitoring commercial 
broadcasts for the future release of any similar anomalous or 
compromising products. 


+ Experiment Log 2228 
Experiment 2228-01 


Rationale: The purpose of this experiment is 
to replicate the circumstances noted in the 
commercial broadcast of SCP-2228. 


Materials & Procedures: 


¢ 1 instance of SCP-2228, fully 
assembled. 

* 1 plastic horse figurine, similar to the 
one shown in the broadcast. 

* 1 plastic soldier figurine, similar to the 
one shown in the broadcast. 


All components of SCP-2228 will placed ina 
similar configuration to that shown in the 
commercial. The horse figurine will be placed 
in the model containment cell, followed by the 
soldier figurine. 


Results: Approximately 5 seconds after 
introduction to SCP-2228's containment cell, 


the horse figurine began levitating 2cm off of 
the ground. The class-D figurine then slid over 
the horse figurine, before lifting itself on top of 
it and assuming a seated position. The horse 
figurine continued to levitate at varying heights 
while circling the containment cell. 


The horse figurine was removed, and the 
soldier figurine was introduced. The portions of 
the soldier figurine painted to resemble skin 
began to glow red, and after a short period of 
time, the class-D figurine's face melted. No 
heat was produced during this process, and 
the soldier and class-D figurines returned to 
normal after the soldier figurine was removed. 


Experiment 2228-02 


Rationale: This is a repetition of Experiment 
2228-01 for the purpose of determining if any 
patterns can be discerned from SCP-2228's 
anomalous properties. 


Materials & Procedures: The same materials 
and procedures used in Experiment-01 were 
repeated in this experiment, with the exception 
of a different instance of SCP-2228. 


Results: Upon introduction into SCP-2228's 
containment cell, the class-D figurine again 
slid towards the horse figurine and assumed a 
seated position on top of it. The horse figurine 
then achieved sudden acceleration to around 
25m/s, as well as sudden deceleration to a 
stationary position upon coming within 1mm of 
the containment cell's walls. Neither the class- 
D figurine nor the horse figurine suffered any 
damage from these accelerations despite the 
forces involved. 


The horse figurine was removed, and the 


soldier figurine was introduced. After a few 
seconds, the soldier figurine slid towards the 
class-D figurine and raised its arm to make 
contact with it. The class-D figurine's limbs and 
head detached from its torso, which was 
spontaneously flung towards one of the cell 
walls. 


Notes: /t seems that, while the actual 
properties given to these items by SCP-2228 
don't remain constant, they do seem to match 
the context of the items, i.e. the horse gained 
properties related to transportation, and the 
soldier gained offensive abilities. -Dr. Reiner 


Experiment 2228-03 


Rationale: The purpose of this experiment is 
to determine how the anomalous effects of 
SCP-2228 apply to objects with a less 
specifically defined context. 


Materials & Procedures: 


* 1 red neoprene ball, 5cm in diameter. 
* 3 instances of SCP-2228, fully 
assembled. 


The ball will be placed in one instance of 
SCP-2228 until SCP-2228's anomalous effect 
manifests. The experiment will be repeated on 
two more instances of SCP-2228 to determine 
if any patterns can be observed in these 
manifestations. 


Results: Shortly after introduction into the first 
instance of SCP-2228, the ball began to 
levitate 5cm off of the floor. All other figurines 
began to levitate and move around the ball ina 
circular motion. All figurines ceased motion 
after the removal of the ball. The ball was 


introduced into the second instance of 
SCP-2228. The object began to bounce on its 
own, quickly picking up speed before changing 
direction and randomly bouncing off of the 
walls of the enclosure, eventually impacting 
the Class-D figurine before coming to a stop. 
The ball was then removed and introduced to 
the third instance of SCP-2228. The object 
began to roll towards the Class-D figurine, 
then stayed at its side and bounced in place. 
Re-positioning the Class-D figurine caused the 
ball to repeat this action. 


Notes: This seems to support my theory of the 
context-sensitivity of SCP-2228's properties. 
These manifestations were at least tangentially 
related to the ball, but I'm curious to see what 
happens as we introduce increasingly abstract 
objects. -Dr. Reiner 


Experiment 2228-04 


Rationale: The purpose of this experiment is 
to determine how the properties of SCP-2228 
manifest when exposed to an invented object 
with no previously defined context. 


Materials & Procedures: 


¢ 1 white ABS sculpture, approximately 

5 cm, produced via 3d printer. The 
object consists of a random 
configuration of organic shapes, and 
was designed so that it did not resemble 
any common object or organism 

3 instances of SCP-2228, fully 
assembled. 


The sculpture will be placed in one instance of 
SCP-2228 until SCP-2228's anomalous effect 
manifests. The experiment will be repeated on 


and voltage, eventually arcing out and striking the object in question. 
This is also the reason reinforced concrete was not used in the 
chamber's construction, as rebar seems to agitate the artifact. It is 
unknown where the extra energy comes from, or even the initial 
current, as there seems to be no power generation source within 
SCP-256. If at any time this current oscillates more than the average 
peak of 26% on the EMR surveillance, all unauthorized personnel 
regardless of clearance level must immediately evacuate the 
chamber. Those who fail to comply are to be terminated at once, 
again, regardless of security clearance.

two more instances of SCP-2228 to determine 
if any patterns can be observed in these 
manifestations. 


Results: Upon introduction to the first instance 
of SCP-2228, the sculpture changed into a 
fluid, amorphous state, which approached the 
Class-D figurine and engulfed it. The object 
then exited the instance's door and repeated 
this action on each of the researcher and 
security guard figurines. Upon removal from 
the instance of SCP-2228, the five figurines 
were discarded from the sculpture’ mass 
before it resumed its original shape. Of note is 
the fact that the sculpture still felt solid while in 
its amorphous state. The sculpture was then 
introduced to the second instance of 
SCP-2228, where it caused a minor spatial 
anomaly whereby the interior of the instance's 
containment cell expanded into an 
extradimensional pocket, roughly 1m?. Upon 
removal of the sculpture, the instance resumed 
its original form, however, the 
extradimensional space contracted quickly and 
launched the Class-D figurine towards the 
ceiling with sufficient force to cause a major 
fracture to Dr. Reiner's zygomatic bone upon 
hitting him in the face. The test was 
suspended after this incident. 


Experiment 2228-05 


Note: Dr. Brigam is overseeing the testing of 
SCP-2228 while Dr. Reiner is recovering from 
his injury. In light of the incident during 
experiment 2228-04, all staff involved in any 
further experiments have been instructed to 
wear protective visors and padding. 


Rationale: The purpose of this experiment is 
to determine the purpose of the warnings on 


the SCP-2228's packaging. 


Materials & Procedures: 


1 Glock 17 9mm handgun, unloaded 

¢ Anomalous Item #4819, chosen for its 
innocuous anomalous effects.4 

* 1 specimen of species Rattus 
norvegicus. 

¢ 1 instance of SCP-2228, fully 

assembled. 


Each item will be introduced to the instance of 
SCP-2228 until its anomalous properties 
manifest. 


Results: Shortly after introduction to 
SCP-2228, the specimen of Rattus norvegicus 
grew to nearly three times its original volume. 
The subject then underwent convulsions 
before expiring. Upon removal from 
SCP-2228, the subject returned to its original 
size. An autopsy of the subject revealed that 
the cause of death was a massive seizure, 
presumably brought on by shock of its sudden 
change in mass. 


Footnotes 

1. Disassembly of the item has revealed that the batteries serve no 
electrical purpose other than the activation of several light emitting 
diodes and a small speaker. It is currently unknown why SCP-2228's 
anomalous properties do not manifest when no batteries are 
inserted. 

2. The actor playing "Doctor Wondertainment" in this commercial 
has been identified as . As the Foundation currently has 
several conflicting descriptions of the individual known as Doctor 
Wondertainment, it cannot be determined if this is a factual likeness. 
3. All individuals involved were exposed to the SCP Foundation's 
name and general likeness only, with no information implying its 
actual existence. 

4. Due to the limited value of the information that can be gained from 


this experiment, Site 73 command has deemed the testing of these 
two items an unnecessary risk

SCP-2229: Legate of Ursa Major to the Senate and 
People of Rome 


Item #: SCP-2229 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: All communication with 
SCP-2229 is to be directed through the Designated Liaison to 
SCP-2229. The Liaison is to be selected by a special committee of 
the Department of Antiquities on the basis of fluency in Classical 
Latin, knowledge of Roman history, and diplomatic experience. 
While communicating with SCP-2229, the Liaison must consistently 
assume the identity of a Roman emperor. Biannually, the Liaison 
must present a selection of goods! to SCP-2229 as tribute. Although 
SCP-2229 has promised to solely communicate with the Liaison, 
reports from psychiatric hospitals in the city of Rome are to be 
continuously monitored for instances of communication between 
SCP-2229 and other individuals. 


Description: SCP-2229 is a telepathic entity that self-identifies as 
Sextus Pompilius Trio, Legate of Ursa Major to the Senate and 
People of Rome. SCP-2229 manifests to individuals with whom it 
chooses to communicate as an auditory hallucination of an 
individual speaking in Classical Latin. By thinking in Classical Latin, 
individuals are capable of initiating communication to or responding 
to communication from SCP-2229. SCP-2229 is not thought to have 
a physical form, but is capable of manipulating matter through 
anomalous means. When an individual communicating with 
SCP-2229 focuses on a particular object or group of objects, 
SCP-2229 is capable of causing that object or group of objects to 
spontaneously disappear. Similarly, when an individual 
communicating with SCP-2229 focuses on a particular location, 
SCP-2229 is capable of causing an object or group of objects to 
spontaneously appear at that location’. 


The Foundation became aware of SCP-2229 after Agents 
monitoring psychiatric hospitals in the city of Rome noted the 
existence of several individuals who claimed to have heard a "legate 
of the bear" speaking to them in Latin, demanding an audience with 
the current Roman emperor. Due to the frequency and similarity of 
the reports, the cause was immediately suspected to be anomalous 
in nature. Dr. Marcellus, the first Designated Liaison to SCP-2229, 
was dispatched to investigate the reports and attempt 
communication with SCP-2229.

valuable gift! Look thither, and concentrate. 


(Dr. Marcellus complies. A scroll written in 
Classical Latin, later found to contain a lengthy 
reference for manufacturing a variety of 
machines that utilize Newcomen atmospheric 
engines, appears at the designated location.) 


Dr. Marcellus: By Jupiter, what miracle is 
this? What does this scroll contain? 


SCP-2229: A miracle, that is what it should be 
called. Have your wisest scholars look on it; 
given enough time they will decipher it, though 
you yourself will not live to see it happen. 
Certainly, it will occupy them for some time - 
two millennia, perhaps. In any case, now that 
you have witnessed the generosity and 
wonder of my people, will you pay homage to 
Ursa Major? 


Dr. Marcellus: In all truth | will consider it. But 
what can your people, who are so great, want 
from my empire, which is so meager in 
comparison? 


SCP-2229: Whatever your finest goods may 
be, bring them forth to me twice every year, so 
that | may receive them as tribute for my 
people. For now, that is all | ask of you. 


Dr. Marcellus: Then by all means, | will do so. 
| have but one request: speak only to me and 
my successors, and not the unwashed masses 
of my empire. These plebeians are far below 
you; by deigning to converse with them, you 
only injure your dignity. 


SCP-2229: (Laughter.) Very well! Let it be 
done.

Afterword: Subsequently, Dr. Marcellus 
began making regular offers of tribute to 
SCP-2229. As of the present day, SCP-2229 
has not deviated from its initial behavior.

<Begin Transcript> 


Dr. Marcellus: O Sextus Pompilius, |, Titus 
Cornelius, have brought the first tribute of the 
year. Ten bales of cloth dyed in Tyrian purple, 
fifty amphorae of- 


SCP-2229: Yes, yes, | am sure that your 
offerings are all quite fine. Let me receive them 
quickly, so that we can move on to the more 
urgent matter | wish to address. 


(Dr. Marcellus focuses on the tribute offerings, 
and they disappear.) 


SCP-2229: | am afraid that | have more to ask 
of your empire than tribute today. Our people, 
as wondrous as they may be, are not warriors, 
which we are now in deep need of. O Titus 
Cornelius, can your empire spare a legion? My 
people will be deeply indebted to your empire, 
and you above all will be held in our eternal 
esteem. 


Dr. Marcellus: My empire would be hard 
pressed to do so, for it would mean exposing 
my people to the threat of savage barbarians 
and treacherous rebels. Why do your people 
need a legion, if | may ask? Have they become 
embroiled in war? 


SCP-2229: That is not exactly how | would 
describe it. My people are obligated to fight, 
but not in a war. No, | would think of it more as 
a gladiatorial combat, to provide the plebeians 
of other Heavens their bread and circuses. We 
have no choice but to satisfy them with our 
own blood, or with yours. To do otherwise is to 
antagonize the showmen, who are more 
dangerous to us with words than any other 
enemies are with swords. Your empire has 


warriors; my people have not. | ask of you 
again: can your empire spare a legion? 


Dr. Marcellus: What if my empire does not? 


SCP-2229: What if a client does not honor his 
patron? What if a slave does not obey his 
master? What if a lesser does not follow his 
better? You, Titus, are the emperor, and you of 
all people know the answers to these 
questions. | will ask once again, and not once 
more: can your empire spare a legion? 


Dr. Marcellus: | offer my sincere apology; the 
question was most unbecoming. Yes, | will 
procure a legion for you at the earliest possible 
opportunity. Still, | must ask, how long do | 
have to do so? 


SCP-2229: You have five days. Let it be done. 
<End Transcript> 


Afterword: Due to the potential consequences 
of non-compliance, limited time frame, and 
personnel requirements for a legion4, a 
proposal to utilize a Bright/Zartion Hominid 
Replicator to fulfill the demand was sent to the 
Ethics Subcommittee on Human Cloning. After 
a day of deliberation, the proposal was 
approved by a 5-4 decision.

<Begin Transcript> 


(Silently, Dr. Marcellus focuses on the tribute 
offerings, and they disappear.) 


SCP-2229: You're usually more talkative when 
you deliver the tribute, Titus. | sense that 
something troubles you; is it the legion, 


perhaps? 


Dr. Marcellus: Sextus, it is not easy for a man 
to send six thousand men off to war, and to not 
know a thing about their fate. 


SCP-2229: They fought boldly, and died 
heroically; they lost their lives, but gained their 
names. Can warriors ask for much more? 


Dr. Marcellus: | suppose not. 
(Thirty seconds of silence.) 


Dr. Marcellus: Do you expect to ask our 
empire for a legion again in the future? 


SCP-2229: No, the audience has seen enough 
of us, and the showmen themselves are quite 
satisfied. The next time, it will not be our 
people who are called on, but yours. Your 
warriors’ performance was quite rousing, and, 
in any case, | have been told that your people 
are already quite overdue for your turnin the 
arena.

Afterword: None.

SCP-2230: An Unlicensed Neurosurgeon 


Item #: SCP-2230 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2230 is to be housed 
within a standard humanoid containment unit. SCP-2230 is to be 
provided with adequate nutrition three (3) times per day and is 
allowed access to written media on request, in addition to three (3) 
hours of Foundation-approved television programming. SCP-2230 is 
not be given access to any form of electric device or components, or 
other personnel (see Incident 2230-A). Any media with contents 
pertaining to medicine, electronics or maintenance must be 
approved by two assigned Class 3 personnel prior to provision. 


Until further notice, all confirmed instances of SCP-2230-1 are to be 
transported to Site-17 for study and containment. Investigations 
aimed at identifying additional individuals SCP-2230 has previously 
come into contact with are ongoing. 


Description: SCP-2230 is an adult male of European descent. 
SCP-2230 was, by its own admission, “self-employed” from 
01/03/1985 to 17/07/2012. 


SCP-2230 was brought into Foundation custody on 17/07/2012, 
after complaints from residents of the area, Chicago, resulted 
in the arrest of SCP-2230 by local law enforcement. Reports of 
unusual findings within the residence of SCP-2230 warranted a 
Foundation investigation which recovered multiple items, some of 
which were anomalous in nature.

A number of repair and construction tools, 
including hammers, chisels, wrenches, clamps, 
wire cutters, a soldering iron, a welding torch anda

Bottles of anaesthetics, sedatives and other 
medical drugs, many of which were determined to 
have been obtained illegally. Most were being 
stored in a home refrigerator. 


A large collection of scrap electronics and home 
appliances. 


A handheld, pen-shaped device capable of 
producing a focused laser beam powerful enough 
to cut through flesh with ease and accuracy, 
powered by four double-A batteries. 


* A large device assembled from components taken 
from multiple appliances, including: a water boiler, 
a television set, a microwave oven, a personal 
computer, and several home radios. Device was 
found to be capable of producing low-quality MRI 
imaging by means not fully understood. 


¢ Also recovered; 32 books on electronics, 27 books 
on home and industrial maintenance, 44 books on 
neurosurgery and oncology, 51 books on human 
neurology, and SCP-2230's laptop computer, 
containing hundreds of files documenting similar or 
related subjects. 


The complaint leading to the initial arrest of SCP-2230 was issued 
by one Parker, detailing the strange behaviour of her husband, 
Parker, after being 'operated on' by SCP-2230. A Foundation 
investigation conducted from 18/07/2012 has connected SCP-2230 
to a string of unusual medical reports across the states of Illinois and 


Wisconsin, dating back to the year 1985. This investigation has 
resulted in the identification of, to date, 187 individuals SCP-2230 
has performed unlicensed medical operations on. 


Each of these individuals, designated SCP-2230-1, have been 
medically examined by Foundation specialists. While the majority of 
SCP-2230-1 appear outwardly normal, X-ray examination reveals 
clear abnormalities within the cranium. 


Medical analysis of SCP-2230-1: 


SCP-2230-1-094-Ms. Williams: Subject was missing a 
significant portion of her cerebellum. Missing portion had been 
replaced with a network of insulated copper wiring, circuitry from an 
electronic alarm clock, and a gyroscope extracted from a brand 
smartphone. Subject reported experiencing persistent muscle 
spasms and problems with balance since an illicit operation to 
remove a cerebral tumour performed two years prior. 


SCP-2230-1-121 - Mr. Deliard: Subject was missing multiple 
portions of his left temporal lobe. Missing portions replaced with 
components from a home radio and an electronic ‘robot pet' toy. 
Subject was capable of limited hearing in his left ear. Subject also 
claimed to be able to hear certain FM radio transmissions. 


SCP-2230-1-107 - Ms. Liddle: Subject was missing the majority 
of her visual cortex. Missing portion replaced with circuitry from a 
computer display card, a cluster of HDMI data cabling, and five 
small electromagnets. Subject was able to identify and distinguish 
between faces, but claimed to be able to see only in a limited colour 
depth, comparable to looking through a 4-bit computer monitor. 


Addendum: 


The surgical removal of anomalous components from SCP-2230-1 
has been attempted on occasions. This invariably results in the 
rapid mental decay or death of the subject, depending on the vital 
nature of the replaced portion of brain tissue. 


The number of SCP-2230-1 living with these replacements 
represents the majority of individuals operated on by SCP-2230. 


However, 58 individuals have been found deceased as a result of 
the actions of SCP-2230. While 31 of these occurrences appear to 
have been failed operations, judging by the presence of various 
electric components in the craniums of the deceased, the remainder 
have had large, highly specific portions of their brain tissue removed 
with no apparent attempt at replacement. One of the earliest of 
these examples, Dr. , an accomplished neurosurgeon and 
lecturer at University, was found to have had the entirety of his 
frontal lobe and hippocampus carefully excised, with the outer 
cranial damage repaired so as to leave almost no trace of surgery 
having been performed. 


Open Interview 2230-01 


Date: 21/07/2012 
Interviewer: Dr. Harper 
Interviewed: SCP-2230 


<begin transcript> 


Dr. Harper: Good morning; I'm Dr. Harper. I'll 
be conducting your interview for today. State 
your name, please. 


[subject frequently avoids eye contact; this 
behaviour continues throughout the interview] 


SCP-2230: [sighs] My name is, uh, Ben 


Dr. Harper: Alright then, Mr. ; do you 
know why you're here with us today? 


SCP-2230: Because some ungrateful bitch 
went yapping to the cops. But | don't mind. At 
least I'm amongst intelligent people now. 
People with a brain. 


Dr. Harper: I'm [coughs] glad you feel that 
way. Now, | assume we're talking about Ms. 
here; why would you say she was 


ungrateful? 


SCP-2230: | fixed her husband for her. 
Cheaper than any other doctor would have 
done it, too. Least she could do is show some 
gratitude. 


Dr. Harper: Ah yes, Mr. ; one of your... 
patients, yes? 


SCP-2230: Uh huh. 


Dr. Harper: | examined him myself. The 
quality of the surgery is, uh, quite impressive 
actually. Where'd you learn to do that? 


SCP-2230: You noticed... [subject grins] Well, 
| studied at a very prestigious medical 
institution, and I, uh... 


Dr. Harper: Really? | mean, | could be wrong 
but, according to your file here you dropped 
out of med school in your second year. Before 
that you were doing a tech course at 

Dropped out before the first year was up. 
Clearly you're not a qualified medical 
practitioner. Now, I'll ask you again: where'd 
you learn to do that? 


SCP-2230: [subject becomes visibly angry, 
rising from his chair] You pretentious fucks! 
You're all the same! | earned everything | got, 
and | don't need a fucking degree to tell me I'm 
a doctor! 


[after several seconds of standing and staring 
at Dr. Harper, who does not respond, subject 
breaks eye contact and sits back down] 


| read books. A lot of books. | worked my ass 
off. And it didn't make a difference. But then, 


one day, | learned | had something none of 
them had. A secret weapon. 


[subject grins again, looking downwards and 
playing with his hands] 


I've learned to... get into the heads... of my 
competitors. So to speak. 


Dr. Harper: Would you care to elaborate on 
that? 


SCP-2230: No. | wouldn't. 


Dr. Harper: Very well then. Describe the 
operation you performed on Mr. 


SCP-2230: A progressed astrocytoma in the 
middle frontal gyrus, beginning to invade the 
surrounding parenchyma. | excised the 
diseased tissue and repaired the damage. A 
straightforward procedure. | think | did a pretty 
good job with that one. 


Dr. Harper: You removed his entire frontal 
lobe. The man can barely string together 
complete sentences, and when he does, they 
don't make sense. He doesn't even recognise 
his own wife and kids. You call that a “pretty 
good job”? 


SCP-2230: | think you're missing the point 
here — the man doesn't have cancer anymore. 
| fixed him. 


Dr. Harper: Yes... I'm surprised he's even 
alive, with all that junk in his skull. But he's 
alive. How do you fix people, Mr. ? How 
do you replace components of the most 
complex machine in the known universe with... 
spare parts from old computers? 


SCP-2230: [laughs] That's my greatest secret 
of all, my good doctor. You can't have that 
one. 


Dr. Harper: We have ways of extracting the 
information we need. 


SCP-2230: | think you'll find that difficult. 
[subject taps his head with his forefinger] I've 
made some modifications. Put blockers in 
place. That secret's only coming out when | 
want it to. 


Dr. Harper: Our session is over, then. 


[Dr. Harper gathers his papers and prepares to 
leave] 


Dr. Harper: Before | go, though... We know 
you were operating out of that apartment for 
some time - at least four months — and you 
had several patients during that time. We 
searched all over that apartment, we searched 
your trash, we searched your drains... but we 
never found any of that missing brain tissue. 
Tell me, Mr. - what did you do with it? 


[subject raises head to face Dr. Harper, 
maintaining direct eye contact] 


SCP-2230: | don't think that's any of your god 
damn business, doctor.

Incident 2230-A - 12/03/2013: 


A routine inspection of SCP-2230's containment unit resulted in the 
confiscation of an illicit device, found to have been constructed of 
parts removed from the unit's fixed television set using plastic eating 
utensils. Device proved capable of producing a focused 


electromagnetic pulse that induces temporary spatial disorientation 
in targets. SCP-2230 standard programming privileges revoked. 
Containment procedures updated.

SCP-2231: A Shared Identity 


Item #: SCP-2231 
Object Class: Safe Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: Revision 05/02/2014: 
SCP-2231-1 through -3 are to be kept on life support in the medical 
wing of Site 17 for an 180 day observational period. If no change in 
their condition is recorded the remaining instances of SCP-2231 are 
to be disconnected from life support and their remains disposed of. 
SCP-2231 no longer demonstrates any anomalous properties 
following the expiration of SCP-2231-4 


+Show Former Special Containment Procedures 


SCP-2231-1, SCP-2231-2, and SCP-2231-3 are to be 
housed in standard humanoid containment units in wing 
3 of site 17. Subject to cooperation with Foundation 
containment, SCP-2231-1 through -3 are to be allowed 1 
hour of communal time, under strict guard supervision, 
each week in the Section 3 cafeteria during off-hours. 


POI-2231-1 is to be remotely monitored by Foundation 
personnel for any indication of anomalous activity or 
connection with SCP-2231. 


Revision 03/07/2014: SCP-2231-4 is to be housed in 
standard humanoid containment in wing 8 of site 17. 
Under no circumstances is SCP-2231-4 to be exposed to 
SCP-2231-1, -2, or -3, or to be made aware of their 
existence or the reason for its confinement. 


Description: SCP-2231 was the shared identity of three otherwise 
non-anomalous human beings (referred to as SCP-2231-1, -2, and 
-3), claiming to go by the name “Johnathan Tran”, born June 17th 
1983 and currently residing in Boise, Idaho. 


SCP-2231-1 is a 41 year old Korean male, SCP-2231-2 is a 13 year 
old Nigerian female, and SCP-2231-3 is a 56 year old Pakistani 
female. SCP-2231-1, -2, and -3 had a comprehensive knowledge of 
the experiences and history of the other two instances, as well as of 
the supposed shared identity of SCP-2231 (SCP-2231’s purported 
history does not match the verifiable history of instance -1 through -3 
in any way). 


All instances of SCP-2231 showed a strong preference to respond 
to questions about their past with information pertinent to the history 
of SCP-2231-4, as opposed to their own physical history. Following 
containment of SCP-2231-1 through -3 in 2013, each instance had 
demonstrated notable conflation of its physical history with that of 
the other two instances, frequently responding to questions 
categorically with details of the other instance’s history as well as 
their own. 


SCP-2231-4 is the individual Johnathan Tran. As of the present 
date, SCP-2231-4 has demonstrated no knowledge of or connection 
to SCP-2231-1 through -3. 


SCP-2231-4 was formerly the individual Johnathan Tran. 
SCP-2231-4 was incinerated following expiration on 05/01/2014. 


Addendum 2231-1: Acquisition Log 


Added 10/30/2013 


SCP-2231-1, -2, and -3 were identified through standard 
computer analytics of atypical flight patterns when 
SCP-2231-1 purchased airline tickets for SCP-2231-2 
and -3 on one way flights to Boise Air Terminal - Gowen 
Field (BOI). No prior connection between the 3 instances 
was found in the Foundation Societal Interaction 
Fishbone (FSIF) experimental software and the 
instances were flagged for interrogation at their Chicago 
O'Hare International Airport (ORD) layover by onsite 
Foundation personnel. 


The anomalous characteristics of SCP-2231 were readily 


apparent during the interrogation. SCP-2231-1, -2, and 
-3 were processed and contained without incident. 


+ Show Interview Log SCP-2231-1, -2, -3 


Interview 2231-3: 

Interview was conducted by Researcher Patel, subject of 
interview was SCP-2231-1. This was the third officially 
recorded interview since the containment of SCP-2231-1 
through -3 six days prior. 


Conducted 11/02/2013 


Dr. Patel: Please state your name for the 
record. 


SCP-2231-1: Johnathan Tran. 


Dr. Patel: Do you ever go by other names or 
aliases? 


SCP-2231-1: Ah, yes, Adunola Omolade, Choi 
Jung-jae, and Sajida Talfah. 


Dr. Patel: Do you not find it strange that you 
have four separate names? 


SCP-2231-1: It’s not that weird, think of 
someone named Mary-Beth Teresa Johnson, 
or something. 


Dr. Patel: (Makes note of subject's lack of 
understanding of the previous question) And 
what is your citizenship? 


SCP-2231-1: I’m an American sir, but I’ve got 
citizenship in Pakistan, South Korea, and 
Nigeria.

Let me officially give you congratulations on your 
promotion, General Trent. It's a sad, sad thing that 
happened to your predecessor, but such is the way of 
things when working for The Foundation. Regardless, | 
looked into the various classified files that General 
Gerhart had under lock and key with your access codes, 
and found out some really surprising things about 
SCP-256. 


First off, the list of authorized personnel are not 
surgically adapted in any way. In fact, many of them 
have never undergone anything more serious than the 
mandated physical. And civilians, tsk tsk. | can't even 
begin to understand why General Gerhart let them even 
know of the base. Containment agents have been 


SCP-2231-1: | was born in Idaho Falls. 


Dr. Patel: And how was it you came by your 
Pakistani citizenship? 


SCP-2231-1: Well, | was born in Karachi. 


Dr. Patel: How is it you were born in Karachi 
as well as Idaho Falls? 


SCP-2231-1: | was born in Karachi then Idaho 
Falls. Actually to be strictly technical | was 
born in Karachi then Seoul then Idaho Falls. 


Dr. Patel: And what is your social security 
number? 


SCP-2231-1: -- (Refer to Addendum 
2231-2 for additional information) 


Dr. Patel: (Produces pictures of SCP-2231-2 
and -3) And are you familiar with these two 
individuals? 


SCP-2231-1: Is this a joke? That’s me. 


For the sake of brevity the remainder of the interview is 
omitted. SCP-2231-1 continued to demonstrate a 
fundamental failure to grasp that there was anything 
strange about its identification with three separate bodies 
and four separate identities. SCP-2231-1 then 
proceeded to demonstrate a detailed, intimate, and 
consistent recollection of the personal physical histories 
of SCP-2231-2 and SCP-2231-3. 


Interview 2231-11: 

Interview was conducted by Researcher Patel, subject of 
interview was SCP-2231-1, -2, and -3. This is the first 
joint interview of all three instances since they entered 
containment. 


Conducted 11/10/2013 


Dr. Patel: Please state your name for the 
record. 


SCP-2231-3: Johnathan Tran, and in 
anticipation of your next question, Adunola 
Omolade, Choi Jung-jae, and Sajida Talfah. 


Dr. Patel: Very good. Would you please 
identify the number of hands you have, one at 
a time, holding each hand up as you count. 
Start with whatever hand you'd like. 


(SCP-2231-2 raises their left hand as they say 
“one”, then SCP-2231-3 raises their right hand 
as SCP-2231-1 says “two”. Subject pauses 
briefly before proceeding in this manner to a 
count of six) 


Dr. Patel: Now, please state how many hands 
you have. 


SCP-2231-2: Two. 


Dr. Patel: Please look to your left, and tell me 
what you see. 


SCP-2231-1 through -3 simultaneously look to 
the left. 


SCP-2231-3: | see the back of my head and 
the wall. 


Dr. Patel: And one final question. Do you 
know where you currently are? Please be 
comprehensive with your response. 


SCP-2231-1: 18 Drive, Boise, Idaho, 
and Interview room C416 of wing 3 of, well | 
don’t know what this building is still, 
somewhere in Illinois, | think. (Refer to 
Addendum 2231-2 for additional information) 


Dr. Patel: Very good, that will be all. Officer 
Griggs will return you to your rooms. 


SCP-2231 demonstrates significant cognitive dissonance 
regarding their identity. Although largely internally 
consistent, SCP-2231 does not appear to appreciate the 
fundamental fact that it is three separate individuals, and 
that furthermore, none of those three individuals are who 
it prefers to identify as. Over the course of several 
interviews SCP-2231 instances became considerably 
more adept at providing information which proved 
accurate about their physical history, in conjunction with 
the anomalous information which the subject prefers to 
provide. 


Addendum 2231-2: POI-2231-1 Designation 


Added 11/12/2013 


Investigation of the personally identifying information 
provided by SCP-2231-1 through -3 regarding Johnathan 
Tran proved accurate. SCP-2231 is able to provide the 
current location of Johnathan Tran at all times, as well as 
comprehensive background information and information 
about Mr. Tran’s state of mind in real time.

Purpose: To observe the effect of physical 
stress as it is experienced across each 
instance of SCP-2231, and if that response 
extends to POI-2231-1. 


Procedure: SCP-2231-1 was exposed to the 


Foundation standard battery of stress eliciting 
stimuli including optional high threshold 
thermal testing. The responses of SCP-2231-2 
and -3 were monitored simultaneously within 
their separate containment units. The 
response of POI-2231-1 was observed 
remotely by Foundation field personnel. 


Results: Total time for completion of testing 
battery is 11 minutes 21 seconds. SCP-2231-2 
and -3, both confined to their containment 
cells, showed significant stress responses and 
agitation as SCP-2231-1 undergoes the test 
procedure. Notable response symmetry 
includes pupil dilation, sweating, shivering and 
generalized adrenal response as the battery 
progressed. The only asymmetry in response 
occured when neither SCP-2231-2 nor -3 
demonstrated muscle stretch reflex responses 
during portion 4A of the testing battery. 
Approximately 90 seconds after the cesation of 
testing the stress response is no longer 
evident in SCP-2231-2 or -3, although 
SCP-2231-1 followed the typical stress 
cesation pattern for non-anomalous humans 
over the next 45 minutes. 


POI-2231-1 showed no reaction at any point 
during this experiment. 


Conclusions: The mental connection between 
SCP-2231-1, -2, and -3 extends to include 
visceral experience of any physical sensation 
which the other instances are subject to. The 
mechanism by which this sensory & emotional 
data is integrated with the first person 
experience of each instance is unclear, given 
how each instance is capable of autonomous 
action (walking, talking, performing basic 
maintenance of life functions) completely 


independent of other instances. 


The lack of reaction by POI-2231-1 suggests 
an asymmetric anomalous experiential link 
between the instances of SCP-2231 and 
POI-2231-1. The standard battery of stress 
eliciting stimuli is intentionally designed to elicit 
autonomic responses in subjects, suggesting 
that, if POI-2231-1 has any appreciation for the 
experience of SCP-2231 instances, that link is 
significantly muted compared to the 
anomalous link of the SCP instances. 


Addendum 2231-3: SCP-2231-4 Designation 


Added 03/07/2014 


As per direction issued from the office of Research 
Director Ashley, POI-2231-1 has been taken into 
indefinite Foundation containment and classified as 
SCP-2231-4. The basis for this decision is the 
unacceptable risk to classified information (amongst 
other things, the existence of the Foundation and Site 
17) should SCP-2231-4 be successfully concealing, or 
eventually develop, a symmetrical mental connection to 
SCP-2231-1 through -3 as they share with SCP-2231-4. 


SCP-2231-4 is to be kept ignorant of the existence of 
SCP-2231-1 through -3. Researcher Patel will continue 
in his current capacity as New-Containment-Introduction 
(NCI) lead for SCP-2231. 


Addendum 2231-4: Object Neutralization 


Added 05/02/2014 


SCP-2231-4 was fatally wounded by security personnel 
after assaulting a guard as it was escorted from interview 
room H203. Appropriate disciplinary actions are being 


considered for the offending security personnel. Review 
of security footage of SCP-2231-1 through -3 at the 
moment of expiration of SCP-2231-4 show all three 
instances simultaneously collapsing. Following medical 
examination SCP-2231-1, -2, and -3 showed a complete 
cessation of higher brain function, and have been moved 
to the medical wing of Site 17 and placed on life support. 


SCP-2231 reclassified as neutralized.

SCP-2232: Birdphone. Think Different. 


Item #: SCP-2232 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Each instance of SCP-2232 is 

to be kept in a standard Safe-class containment locker when not in 

use. Using SCP-2232 to make calls or send text messages must be 
done in the presence of a certified bird handler. 


SCP-2232 must not be left unattended while being charged. 


Use of SCP-2232 instances for tracking telephone based anomalies, 
including SCP-1750, has been approved on a case by case basis. 


Description: SCP-2232 is a smartphone superficially resembling a 
sky-blue Samsung Galaxy S4, running on a modified version of the 
Android operating system listed as Android 5.7.4 "Delicious 
Sunflower Seeds". SCP-2232's casing has so far resisted all 
attempts to be opened, and any attempts to do so have resulted in 
SCP-2232 vibrating violently and emitting a loud, squawking noise. 
10 9 instances of SCP-2232 are currently in Foundation possession, 
labeled as SCP-2232-01 through -10!. 


Update: As per Incident-2232-01, SCP-2232-03 has been 
neutralised. Samples of its remains are currently stored in the Inert 
Biological Sample wing of Site-77. 


Using SCP-2232 to call a valid telephone number causes it to 
transform into a common hill myna, which then appears to 
reproduce via budding to produce a second, smaller myna. The 
second instance, designated SCP-2232-A, will then attempt to fly 
directly towards the location of the dialed telephone. SCP-2232 has 
been found to be able to locate both mobile and landline telephones 
once provided with the appropriate number. However, should 
SCP-2232 be used to call telephones located more than 40km 


away, it will instead prompt the user to "kindly enable Airplane Mode 
for long-distance communication." 


Once it has reached its destination, SCP-2232-A will then attempt to 
attract the attention of the nearest human being by mimicking loud 
noises like alarms or heavy machinery, or flapping its wings in his/ 
her face. From this point onwards, SCP-2232 and SCP-2232-A will 
function as a two-way voice transmission system, with speech 
addressed to the former instantaneously vocalised by the latter and 
vice versa. The call can be terminated any time by grabbing either 
myna and turning it gently upside-down, resulting in SCP-2232 
reverting to its smartphone form, and SCP-2232-A disappearing in a 
puff of carbon dust. 


Using SCP-2232 to send a text message to a valid mobile telephone 
number causes SCP-2232 to transform into a homing pigeon, 
designated SCP-2232-B. SCP-2232-B will then travel towards the 
messaged mobile telephone, vocalise the text message, and travel 
back to its original location. Should its destination be more than 
500km away, SCP-2232 will also prompt the user to enable Airplane 
Mode. 


Enabling Airplane Mode from SCP-2232's settings will apparently 
allow calls and messages to be sent to any location on Earth; 
however, SCP-2232 will instead assume the form of (in the case of a 
text message), or produce an instance of (in the case of a telephone 
call), a great white pelican, designated SCP-2232-C. SCP-2232-C 
will then proceed to travel towards the location of its recipient. Upon 
reaching its destination, SCP-2232-C will open its beak, revealing 
either an instance of SCP-2232-A or SCP-2232-B, which will then 
perform its intended function as detailed above. Once the intended 
function has been performed, SCP-2232-C appears to consume the 
instance of SCP-2232-A or SCP-2232-B and fly back towards its 
original location. 


The avian forms of SCP-2232 will stop for food and water along their 
journeys, rest when tired, and have been known to ride on vehicles 
to reach their destinations. SCP-2232 is highly impractical as a form 
of communication, as short-range calls can take up to a day to reach 
its recipient, while long-range intercontinental transmissions are 
estimated to take up to several years. 


Incident-2232-01: Following scheduled experimentation on 
03/05/15, Research Assistant Chang left SCP-2232-03 plugged into 
its charging port overnight in storage locker #284. When the 
containment locker was reopened the next day, a large white mass 
rapidly expanded outwards from it, pinning Research Assistant 
Chang onto the opposite wall of the storage room and swiftly 
obscuring the view of the security cameras. On-site security forces 
found the door of the storage room blocked from the inside, and 
eventually gained access using low-yield explosives. 


The inside of the storage room appeared to be uniformly lined with a 
thick layer of flesh covered in white feathers, with the exception of 
the inside of locker #284, which was heavily charred. Samples of the 
flesh sent for analysis revealed it to be of avian origin, and consisted 
of living muscle tissue connected to a rudimentary blood supply with 
several hearts. An extensive skeletal framework supporting the 
muscle tissue was also discovered, apparently made of copper, 
glass and assorted plastics. Site maintenance staff armed with 
propane torches and machetes eventually extracted the body of 
Research Assistant Chang and evacuated the other items contained 
in the storage room. The remaining flesh was then excised and the 
room disinfected with bleach. 


Incident-2232-02: On 20/08/15, SCP-2232-08 began vibrating and 
Cawing on its own accord. Its screen indicated that it was receiving 
an incoming long-distance call. With permission from Head 
Researcher Tannenbaum, Research Assistant Goh answered 
SCP-2232-08, which promptly assumed its myna form. The following 
conversation was recorded. 


<Begin log> 

Research Assistant Goh: Um, hello? 

SCP-2232-08: Oh, my god! You found my phone! Thank 
you soooo much! | thought | left it in the cassowary when 
| went to work, and- 


Goh: Sorry, to whom am | speaking to here? 


SCP-2232-08: Oh, this is Casey Durham, | live in 


[unintelligible], on the lower east side seagull, listen, is 
there any way for you to return my phone to me? 


Goh: Well, see, we can't exactly return your phone at the 
moment- 


SCP-2232-08: Oh, I'm not in any trouble, am |? Dear 
lord, that one time | was in the accident with the blue- 
footed booby was bad enough, | don't think I- 


Goh: Excuse me - the blue-footed booby? 


SCP-2232-08: Yeah, it just swerved into my lane, and 
didn't even sound the horn or anything, or signal, and the 
headlights and the passenger door on the old cassowary 
was just all busted up for weeks, | had to pay the 
repairmen, the insurance flamingo was simply insane, 
and - sorry, it's been a rough few months for me, listen. 
I've got some very important contacts and pictures on 
that bird, it means a lot to me, believe me. If there's a 
nearby Australian bush turkey you can drop it ina 
package and just put it in the interstate mail slot to 
number 23 [unintelligible - presumed to be an address], 
send it right to the doorstep of my Spix's macaw. That's 
okay with you, right? 


Goh: Um, could you clarify what you mean by - 


SCP-2232-08: Voice call roaming limit exceeded. Please 
contact your local Wingtel representative for inquiries on 
any additional roaming charges incurred.

1. Similarities between SCP-2232 instances and the phones seen

shared origin of these phones is ongoing.

dispatched to see how far their psychosis has 
progressed and how much they know, but from what I've 
found in the late General's personal files, he supposedly 
had them convinced this was some kind of hospital. 


Second, as you may have guessed from the notes on the 
civilians and the highly classified paper manuscripts, the 
"authorized personnel" seemed to believe quite 
vehemently that SCP-256 was once a young adult 
human named Elizabeth Waters, and has been 
somehow trapped in the artifact. Even the General was 
convinced, and the very fact that the BaseCommand was 
compromised by the item's delusions makes me worry 
about the entire facility. All personnel on the "authorized" 
list have been placed under covert surveillance. It is 
unknown how far the item's control over them goes, and | 
will be personally reviewing all other SCP security 
measures enacted on General Gerhart's behalf. 


Third, there is information on the artifact that has not 
been made available in the report. Firstly, the variance 
on the EMR is remarkably similar to an oscilloscope's 
pickup of human voice. Apparently when SCP-256 starts 
its variance, it somehow starts producing audio with it. 
Second, the compromised personnel write down in the 
manuscripts that the delusions claim to be in pain when 
metal is brought near it. After an audio recorder was 
brought into the room, the afflicted agents noted that the 
delusions ceased for several days, and when they 
resumed, they indicated that it nearly "killed" the artifact. 


Needless to say, | cannot confirm or deny these rumors 
due to the security restraints on SCP-256, but | do not 
place credibility in them. Simply put, General, this was a 
coverup. Recommend immediate disciplinary procedures 
for all personnel involved. In regards to SCP-256, | 
recommend research into power production. As long as 
the research personnel observe the listed sound- 
blanking procedures, any possible auditory 
contamination can be contained. There was no listed 


SCP-2233: Sociosophy 


Item #: SCP-2233 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Ten print copies of SCP-2233-1 
are to be contained on Site-142. The Site has been designated a 
paper-media-free zone, and no form of printed media (including 
books, magazines, and other forms as specified in the SCP-2233-1 
Appendix 3) are to be brought within a 1 km radius of any instance 
of SCP-2233-1 outside of approved testing. 


Upon the discovery of new SCP-2233-1 instances, MTF-Lambda-2 
"Academics" is to sanitize the area of all affected media. New 
instances are to be immediately incinerated. A Lambda-2 member is 
to be inserted into the pedagogical board of every college with 
average enrollment larger than 30,000 to ensure a fast response in 
case of an SCP-2233-2 event. 


In case of a Jehoiada event, the lecturing venue is to be quarantined 
immediately and Procedure Styx-Lethe-Acheron applied. 


Description: SCP-2233 is an academic discipline called 
"Sociosophy", manifesting through SCP-2233-1 instances and 
SCP-2233-2 events. 


SCP-2233-1 is a book labeled "Polylogue — Over the horizon of 
postmodern relativism", published by "The Club of Friends of 
Sociosophy"! in Prague, Czech Republic, in 2014. The authors are 
listed as StoB. Emil Frantisek; BasSc., WtaN. Herbert Muzny; 
DmbS. et DmbS. Martin Piiklopa; and collective. It is unclear if all 
of the authors are real persons, as only a few had been seen during 
the Jehoiada events. Unconfirmed authors include [REDACTED]. 


The book contains theories on pseudo-academic subjects, such as 
"Polylogue" as an improvement of conversing, "Problemology" as a 


discipline concerning various life issues, or "Neonovoplatonism" as a 
religiously philosophical practice. 


The practice of the disciplines seems nonsensical, unless affected 
by the presence of associated Persons of Interest. See Report of 
Event-2233-02-1 for a noteworthy Jehoiada event, involving the 
creation of E- andE- by unknown reality-bending abilities. 


The anomalous properties of SCP-2233-1 manifest when placed in 
close proximity (max. 600m) to other paper media. After about 3-5 
hours, the media start to mention sociosophy in various forms. For 
example, newspaper headlines mention recent sociosophy 
breakthroughs. 


The existing content of the media is also modified; for example, in 
the work of [REDACTED], a bibliography entry "FOUCAULT, Michel: 
The History of Sexuality: Vol. 2: The use of pleasure. Vintage books, 
New York, 1990." was changed to "MUZNY, Herbert: Sexuality in 
Sociosophy, Vol 1: Practiced Episthemophilia. EX crementum 
bovinum, Little Hill, 2002." 

Initially, no such book was found, but after a -hour exposition of 
The History of Sexuality, Vol. 2to SCP-2233-1, the contents of 
Foucault's book have been completely altered into the new 
anomalous publication described above. 


Affected media exhibit the same anomalous properties as 2233-1 
instances.

best for a moment where a princess, trapped 
in a tower, hangs her long hair from a window. 
A prince climbs on it to get to her. 


Modified Author/Title: Lapsky, Alexander. 
Treekids. 


Description of the modified book: The main 
story is similar to Rapunzel, but reads as a 
scientific demonstration of a discipline called 
"Intellectual bonsaification". The princess uses 
her time in the tower to practice said discipline, 


which is never described, only cited from 
secondary sources. The prince meets her "on 
the level of the right sub-stratum". 


New 2233-1 instances have been discovered inside publishing 
houses, and during SCP-2233-2 events. The publishers take 
SCP-2233-1 as a satirical book, ignoring its anomalous properties. 


SCP-2233-2 is a designation for lectures on various disciplines of 
sociosophy by people who read SCP-2233-1 or attended a 2233-2 
event in the past. These occur mainly in college environments, such 
as universities, mensas, or fraternities. SCP-2233-1 instances are 
often given out during these lectures. 


Pol associated with SCP-2233 appear in average 60% of the 
lectures, constituting a Jehoiada event. When a copy of 2233-1 is 
signed by the Pol, the efficiency of the book's anomalous properties 
have been shown to increase by %- %, including increased 
speed of infection and range of influence. 


Uncontained SCP-2233-2 events constitute a major containment 
breach and if left unchecked, amount to a IK class end-of-the-world 
scenario "Information breakdown". 

No pattern in the frequency and location of 2233-2 has been 
established.

Excerpt from Chapter 17: Problemology, sub section 3: 
"Preproblemology: We have a problem and we know 
about it". 


Problemology is a new conceptutally- 
rhetorically-nontotalitarizating metadiscipline, 
which is typical for its socialscientifically- 
philosophical character. Problemology is 
based on methodically nonprefabricated 
research of nonconformly (in academic 
meaning) defined subjects. Results of 
problemological research are integrated in 
nonreductible structured reflexions of chosen 
subject relevance and of chosen research 
methods. 


[SENSITIVE DATA OMITTED] 


Study of preproblemology cultivates individual 
abilities of sensitive recognition of problems, 
which are based on even seemingly banal 
problemological indications and individual 
abilities of differentiation between 
problemologically relevant thinking and mere 
intentional jesting.

[SUBSEQUENT PASSAGE REDACTED] 


Preface of Chapter 11: "Information Quantum as a 
Meaning Carrier: A Torso" by BasSc., WtaN. Herbert 
Muzny, foreword by Pius the Meek (ed.). 


Even though a tragic accident took the author 
from us before he could complete his opus 
magnum, we believe that the amount of new, 
revolutionary ideas brought to the attention of 
the scientific community, in just this draft of the 
foreword, fully justifies its publication. 


The book The Quantum, sadly left unfinished, 
was supposed to establish a practical, yet in 
no way shallow, framework for all 
sociosophisticated analyses of information of 
all kinds. BasSc., WtaN. Herbert MuZzny's last 
work can also be read as a polemic with the 
Geometrical basis3: while in Franciscan4 
epistemosophy the information is infinitely 
divisible, Muzny postulated a certain minimal 
quantum of information. 


A minimal quantum corresponds with a 
minimal meaningful conclusion. The "size" of 
such a conclusion is determined by the 
quantum level in use, the discourse, or the 


medium, if you will. In the text presented here, 
Muzny advocates the legitimity of the impathic 
method while touching on some of the key 
questions of quantum level transitions. 


+ Transcript of Lecture-01-08 "Autolecture" as performed by Pol Marti 
/2014 


I'd like to say hi to the fellow fans of 
sociosophy; my name is Martin Priklopa. Gone 
are the old days where you had to listen to a 
boring pedagogue for an hour and a half, 
sometimes even more. I'm going to show you 
how to perform an autolecture, through which 
you can make your own lesson on any 
sociosophisticated subject you find interesting, 
with my example being on God. 


You need to cite the autolecture in the form of 
a liturgic song, with the least amount of 
aspirations as possible. Stand in front of a 
mirror, have a firm, Nietzschean mustache put 
on and scent the whole room with a 
frankincense. [REDACTED]. Attach these two 
creations on the mirror, so you can see both 
them in your peripheral vision, and the view on 
you is not obscured. Explore yourself 
thoroughly. Begin the recitation and observe 
your every reaction. 


"O god how you are so immense, maybe no 
speck of truth had ever been spoken about 
you, god is ahuman mockup, god is a 
historical need, which needs to be cherished 
and thrown away, and to have looked the truth 
in the face, the world is nor good nor evil, the 
world is the way we make it, god does not 
exist, god is that than which nothing higher can 
be conceived, we must be grateful to god for 
all the gifts that are a part of the highest gift of 
life, god does not exist, god blesses through

SCP-2234: Great Deals on Pineal Removal 


Item #: SCP-2234 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All Foundation computer 
equipment is to be kept up-to-date with the most recent security 
patches. MTF-Rho-9 is to monitor all Foundation networks for 
SCP-2234 and manage distribution of technical information 
regarding SCP-2234 to ISPs and network security companies to 
allow them to detect and thwart the spread of SCP-2234. In 
particular, any findings regarding SCP-2234 should be reported to 
antivirus software companies so they can add measures to prevent 
it to their software. 


Refer to individual instance documentation for specific containment 
procedures regarding each instance. 


Description: SCP-2234 is a class of anomalous computer viruses 
that are able to take advantage of a class of injection attacks in 
which an instance of SCP-2234 will modify its own contents while in 
storage, bypassing normal sanitization routines. 


SCP-2234 first came to the Foundation's attention on 2015-07-01, 
when a computer connected to the Foundation network became 
compromised by SCP-2234-001 and started flooding the network 
with packets containing SCP-2234-001, infecting several dozen 
other machines. Since then over 800 distinct instances of SCP-2234 
have been discovered. 


Status Effect

document 
SCP-2234-727 for 
details. 


Addendum: Selected Instance Documentation 


Item #: SCP-2234-567 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Any document bearing an 
instance of SCP-2234-567-A must be incinerated. Documents 
should not be handled more than necessary — in particular, care 
must be taken to ensure that any pointing devices (including but not 
limited to writing devices, styli, or a subject's fingertips) do not make 
physical contact with SCP-2234-567-A. Any documents printed from 
printers potentially affected by SCP-2234-567 must be checked to 
verify the absence of SCP-2234-A; pages containing SCP-2234-A 
must be reprinted. 


Description: SCP-2234-567 is an anomalous computer virus that 
can be used to attach animated graphical advertisements 
(designated SCP-2234-567-A) to network print jobs, often in a way 
that obscures or obstructs the original document. When a subject 
makes tactile contact or otherwise touches an instance of 
SCP-2234-567-A with any type of pointing device, they frequently 
report experiencing vivid hallucinations and may contract serious 
memetic infection or receive bodily harm. 


Item #: SCP-2234-727 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All affected devices are to be 
securely destroyed after analysis per standard procedure. 
Individuals involved should be questioned if practical but otherwise 
no action regarding them needs to be taken. 


Description: SCP-2234-727 is an anomalous computer virus that 
causes an infected user's social media contacts to spontaneously 
send the infected user targeted advertisements. These include 
unusual references to particular brand names, recommendations 
that a user purchase a specific product or service, or links to product 
websites (often disguised using link-shorteners). 


These advertisements are frequently targeted based on confidential 


information that the sender would not have any way of knowing; a 
notable past occurrence included a Foundation researcher 
researching SCP-993 being targeted with advertisements for a 
Laugh Is Fun seasons 1-7 boxed set from an individual outside the 
Foundation with no knowledge of either of SCP-993, SCP-2030, or 
the researcher's assignment. Other incidents of similar spam have 
included Portuguese timeshare listings sent to researchers with 
history working with SCP-002, and researchers working on 
SCP-2234 receiving expired discount codes for Norton Anti-Virus 
1999. These incidents tend to occur via private messages on social 
media websites. 


SCP-2234-727 was originally believed to manipulate the user's 
client applications in order to display these advertisements, but 
further investigation has shown that it actually affects the infected 
users’ social media contacts. The affected contacts consciously 
send the links to the affected users. Upon inquiry, contacts profess 
no knowledge of the mentioned products prior to the moments 
before sending the message, but insist that in the moment they felt 
that the user would have genuine interest in the advertised content.

URA-9611: The Ozymandias Effect 


URA-9611, Collected Documentation 
12/06/1997 


Summary: A collation of all collected documentation on 
Unregistered Anomaly #9611, gathered to record information about 
said anomaly without triggering its effects, in order to better facilitate 
containment. 


Section 1: 


URA-9611 is currently self-containing due to its inherent anomalous 
properties. In the event that additional anomalous properties 
manifest, the duty of containment is to be passed on to the 
Foundation's Counterconceptual Division. Research is currently 
headed by O5- (the only individual currently possessing Level 
5/2235 clearance), due to possible applications in abstract weaponry 
and infohazard containment/elimination. 


To prevent the degradation of this document, a copy will be 
automatically forwarded to a researcher with level 4/2235 clearance 
every three months. They are then to proceed to memorise the 
document's contents, delete the original file, and re-write it 
according to their understanding of the anomaly. An 
amnesiomemetic agent embedded in the text will then be triggered, 
removing any memory of the event. As means of compensation, a 
small sum will be delivered to their private Foundation account by an 
automated server on completion of these procedures. 


In the event that documentation for Unregistered Anomalies 
becomes standardised or formalised in such a way that it becomes 
easily accessible for all personnel, the second least ubiquitous 
format will be chosen instead, at the relevant researcher's 
discretion. 


Section 2: 


URA-9611, formerly SCP-2235, is a potent material infohazard! 
affecting data about numerous historical figures. Any non-organic 
medium storing information about these individuals (termed Class 
01 subjects for consistency) or URA-96112 will undergo a process of 
autonomous alteration and/or accelerated decay. The rate at which 
this occurs is apparently proportional to three major factors: 


1. The availability of the information to a casual observer. 
Documents or objects placed in public or otherwise well- 
travelled areas are most affected, but a form of media simply 
being accessible to a large number of people is enough to 
exacerbate the effects. It is for this reason that only a small 
number of staff members will be assigned Level 4/2235 
clearance at any one time, chosen by a random number 
generator and a pool of acceptable candidates. 

2. The clarity and accuracy of the information, and the quantity of 
subjects with prior knowledge of the method of conveyance. In 
controlled tests, languages with fewer than 1000 native 
speakers worldwide showed little to no degradation over a 
period of ten hours, as did obscure narrative formats such as 
Alcaic stanza poetry. As such methods are unsuitable for main 
documentation of uncontained infohazardous anomalies, the 
largely unused URA format was chosen for record-keeping — 
See Section 7 for more details. 

3. The predicted durability/lifespan of the medium. The method 
by which this is determined is unknown, but materials such as 
stone and nonreactive metals show a rate of decay far 
exceeding that of say, paper and canvas. As a corollary to this 
property, it is believed that the intention of successfully 
destroying the information in the near future is sufficient to halt 
(or at least lessen) the effect — hence, of course, the protocol 
detailed under Section 1. 


Organic storage methods (i.e. brain tissue) do not decay in the same 
manner, but do experience selective retrograde amnesia, losing all 
direct memories of both URA-9611 and Class 01 subjects over the 
course of approximately two months (varying from person to 


person). The anomaly is currently believed to affect upwards of two 
dozen Class 01 subjects, but the possibility remains that many more 
have at some point been eliminated from history entirely. 


Additional materials: 


The following is an abridged record of known Class 01 subjects. Due 
to the nature of URA-9611, a certain loss of clarity is to be expected.

Effective immediately, all references to Subject 01-50, 
and the position they used to hold, are to be expunged 
from Foundation records across the boards. This 
includes both past and present information, as well as 
anything that implies their existence. I'm not taking 
chances with someone this high up in our system. The 
subject's next-of-kin, if they have any, will be notified 
according to standard procedures, and I've left a 
memorandum to mask it as a max-sec antimemetic 
hazard breach. Hopefully one of the meme squads will 
sound the all-clear and nobody will ask any difficult 
questions.

SCP-2236: Optical Instrument 


Item #: SCP-2236 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2236 is to be stored in its 
pouch (pictured) when not in use. The pouch containing SCP-2236 
is to be stored in an airtight humidity-controlled and temperature- 
controlled case. To prevent security breaches, use of SCP-2236 
must be approved by the administrator of Site 32. 


Addendum: Under no circumstances is SCP-2236 to be brought 
into the presence of any internal Foundation memoranda or 
documents, including its own containment records. 


Description: SCP-2236 is a cylindrical optical instrument which 
superficially resembles an early-model pocket microscope. The 
instrument is 11.6 cm in length, 1.9 cm in diameter, and has a 
planoconvex lens at each end with very slight convexity. One end is 
equipped with an eyepiece; the other end is flanged at an angle. The 
lenses and the body of the instrument enclose an airtight chamber 
between the lenses. This chamber is filled with a faintly 
phosphorescent gas which has not been analyzed. 


When a written document is observed through SCP-2236, the 
content of the text that is examined appears different to the 
observer. See testing log.

SCP-2237: "There is always a cost..." 


Archivist's Note: The following document is maintained 
for historical purposes only. For an up-to-date copy of 
this document appropriate for your security clearance, 
please contact your AAC/HMC Liaison. 


This document has been ratified by the leading members of the 
American Secure Containment Initiative, His Majesty's Foundation 
for the Secure Containment of the Paranormal, the Holy Emperor's 
Council on Unearthly Matters, and the Tsar's Seers on July 9, 1915, 
as one of the first documents of the SCP Foundation, a new 
organization formed from the aforementioned organizations in order 
to better perform the functions of Securing that which cannot yet be 
understood, Containing that which would threaten the public's 
perception of normality, and Protecting the public from threats 
preternatural or otherwise not yet understood. 


Item Number: SCP-2237 
Classification: Euclid (Moderate Containment Difficulty) 


Procedures for Containment: The object in question is to be 
guarded at all times by armed personnel stationed along a fortified 
barrier surrounding the object. The true nature of the object and all 
artifacts retrieved from within is to remain classified to those without 
the highest level of security clearance within our respective 
organizations until such time as a singular security clearance system 
is implemented. The armed personnel must be citizens of the British 
Empire versed in that Empire's military customs; likewise, all 
armaments must be of British manufacture and the cover story given 
to civilians approaching the item is to be that of a high-security 
British military facility within the Hafiyan sub-territory. In the event of 
a hostile takeover, all ally organizations to His Majesty's Foundation 
SCP are to engage in whatever military actions necessary to re- 
acquire the object and surrounding facilities, re-staffing the 
fortifications with personnel from the organization's respective home 


country if necessary. 


These Procedures for Containment are hereby ratified on July 9, 
1915 


Object Description: SCP-2237 is the buried remains of a city of 
unknown origins located in the Hafiyan Desert in Northern Africa. 
SCP-2237 came to the attention of the HMFSCP during the British 
Empire's conquest of the region in the 1890s. It is believed that its 
isolation has contributed to the lack of knowledge on the Hafiyan 
natives' part of SCP-2237. 


The object was determined to require containment upon discovery of 
several forms of technology not yet available to the general 
populace. Technology recovered includes, but is not limited to, 
weapons projecting an undetermined form of energy (presumably 
collected from the ether), consoles capable of displaying moving 
images with no apparent projector or reel of film, alloys used in the 
construction of buildings that surpass even the most advanced of 
today's forges and building techniques in strength and height, 
automated recording systems that also do not utilize film, and 
incorporeal automata capable of speech. The majority of structures 
have either been demolished or otherwise destroyed by the passage 
of time. 


Physical records and records accessible by consoles in a building 
near the center of the city (believed to be the city library) are written 
in multiple languages, ranging from Sumerian cuneiform, Egyptian 
hieroglyphs, various forms of Latin, various forms of Japanese, 
various forms of Chinese, modern English, modern Russian, and 
modern French. These records contain references to the American 
Secure Containment Initiative, His Majesty's Foundation for the 
Secure Containment of the Paranormal, the Tsar's Seers, and the 
Holy Emperor's Council on Unearthly Matters, necessitating their 
contact by the HMFSCP. 


At the center of the city, there is a sculpture of abstract design 
(believed to have served as a monument) that bears the following 
inscription in four separate languages: modern English, modern 
French, modern Russian, and modern Japanese: 


"You are warriors, the children of a conquering army. You carry the 
legacy of the human race on your shoulders. Do not stray from the 
path. You have to be strong, for the dead, and for those not yet 
living. We believe in you." 


The meaning of this inscription is not yet known. Analysis of records 
from within the city is ongoing.

SCP-2238: "Broadcasting Live From Out of Time" 


Item #: SCP-2238 
Object Class: Safe Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Foundation personnel are to 
monitor all local television broadcasts at all times. If an SCP-2238-A 
instance is reported to have occurred, Foundation personnel are to 
record said instance for the purpose of record keeping. Additionally, 
all civilians involved! will be detained by Foundation personnel and 
released if they are found to have no involvement with the 
SCP-2238 phenomenon and are to undergo Class-A amnestics. 


Description: SCP-2238 is the official designation of an anomalous 
phenomenon primarily affecting television broadcast stations in the 
Southern United States, manifesting itself as a series of historical 
documentaries within the affected area. This phenomenon affects 
specific time slots within the affected region by ‘hijacking’ local TV 
transmitters through a currently unknown method. 


The main broadcast intrusion occurs during the airing of historical 
documentaries. The types of documentary that SCP-2238 affects 
are primarily made by European or American filmmakers, 
specifically those that focus on the First and Second World War, 
although it has been reported that SCP-2238 will affect others that 
do not fall into this category. 


During an intrusion, SCP-2238 will play a similar documentary to the 
one being interrupted. This documentary, now known as SCP-2238- 
A, will have several deviations from the original, such as different 
events, different historians, and actors used in the documentary.2 
The amount of deviations from the original vary between each 
instances of SCP-2238-A. Currently, there are twenty-two instances 
of SCP-2238-A.3 


The first reported SCP-2238 event was on 5-12-1992, when a 


civilian reported to a local broadcasting service about the 
inaccuracies of the documentary Napoleon: Man Of Power in 
[REDACTED], Alabama. The documentary discusses the effects of 
Napoleon Bonaparte's annexation of Russia and over a majority of 
the Eurasian continent. 


Addendum-2238.1 
Foundation scientists and analysts have compiled a full timeline of 
events from all twenty-two instances of SCP-2238-A. 


Timeline 


Year Events 

1812 Invasion of Russia by 
Napoleon, ending in its 
annexation. The war of 
T8712 begins. 

1813 Napoleon Ill is installed as 
the new Czar of Russia. 
Closer diplomatic ties 
between the US 
government and the new 
French Empire occur. The 
Peninsular War ends one 
year earlier in a French 
victory. 

1814 France becomes involved in 
a war against Great Britain. 
A three year famine occurs 
in Russia due to an early 
winter, creating more 
resentment against the 
French-installed Russian 
government. In the same 
year, the formation of the 
Party of Russian 
Nationalists occurs. 

1815 War of 1812 ends witha 
US/French victory. Most of 
the former British Empire is

split between the US and 
France. US annexes 
Canada, causing it to 
control most of the fur trade. 
The US government begins 
encouraging its citizens to 
settle Canada and Australia. 
Napoleon | begins 
conquering most of 
mainland Europe, 
dismantling their 
governments in favor of Pro- 
French ones. The French 
government start to kill 
Russian nationalists and 
those for an independent 
Russia. 

The French Empire 
collapses due to the death 
of Napoleon via 
assassination by Russian 
nationalists during his first 
visit to Russia after the war 
for Russia. A revolution, 
referred to as the ‘Russian 
Upheaval’ occurs. Napoleon 
Ill is killed and replaced with 
a descendant of Czar 
Alexandra. 

Most of Northern and 
Western Europe 
experiences a ‘dark age’ 
due to a lack of centralized 
authority. Most of Southern, 
Central and Eastern Europe 
experience very little 
variation from our current 
timeline. A new Russian 
government is created, this 
time with a system similar to 


1850-1865 


1866-1911 


1912 


a constitutional democracy. 
Along the same time, Great 
Britain experiences great 
social unrest, with several 
riots and attempted 
revolutions. 

A new government is 
established in France, this 
time under the control of a 
queen known as Abella I, 
the daughter of a French 
warlord. She establishes a 
centralized authority, 
creating a dictatorial police 
state, killing dissenters and 
those who oppose her 
position. During this time, 
Great Britain undergoes a 
democratic revolution, 
ending in the election of 
their first president. The 
American Civil War does not 
change from the original 
timeline. 

Abella II controls most of 
mainland Europe. The 
Russian government 
undergoes another 
revolution, this time by 
Russian communists under 
the control of Vladimir Lenin 
and Leon Trotsky. 
Revolution ends in 1910, 
with a Communist victory. 
In 1912, the Parliament 
building of Britain is 
attacked by radical 
communists via improvised 
explosives. Over a hundred 
Parliament members are 


1913 


1914-1924 


killed in the explosion, 
resulting in a state of 
emergency. During this 
time, the new Communist 
government, now calling 
itself the Soviet Union, 
invades much of Eastern 
Europe, including Ukraine, 
Poland, and parts of 
Germany. 

The creation of the Allied 
Powers, an alliance 
between The US, Great 
Britain, and the French 
government. Its creation 
was due to the recent 
invasion from the Soviet 
government of most of 
mainiand Russia. 

This time period, known as 
the 'Great War' was a war 
between the Soviet 
government and the Allied 
powers. It began after the 
assassination of Vladimir 
Lenin and Leon Trotsky 
declaring that it was the 
French who assassinated 
Lenin. The Soviet Union 
declared war on the French. 
The US and Britain declared 
war on the Soviets. It ended 
in 1924, following the 
invasion of Germany by US 
and British forces. The 
Treaty of Berlin ended the 
war, making the Soviet 
Union lose most of its 
territory gained during its 
invasions of Central and 


Eastern Europe. 

1929 An event known as the 
‘Great Depression’ began, 
causing an economic crash. 
Due to this event, Abella V1 
(Then Queen of France), 
desperate for economic 
wealth, invaded the Soviet 
Union and Great Britain 
over their oil supplies. This 
event causes the Second 
World War. 

1931-1945 The Second World War, 
between 1931 and 1937, is 
at a constant stalemate. 
There is no full invasion of 
either country until the US 
enters the war against the 
French. In 1989, a full 
invasion of France begins 
with the help of the Soviet 
Union and Great Britain. It 
ends in 1945, with the 
invasion of Paris, destroying 
most of the city. 

1946 Year of the creation of the 
United Nations, with the 
Soviet Union, the US and 
Great Britain as the major 
leaders of the Nations. 


Little information is known about this world post 1946. 
Addendum-2238.2 


On 1-23-2000, SCP-2238 affected the city of [REDACTED], 
Louisiana, broadcasting a documentary entitled How They Hid In 
The Darkness®, which describes a X-Class 'Lift of the Veil' scenario 
of the Foundation due to increasing tensions between the 
Foundation and the Global Occult Coalition, specifically on an event 


that occurred 12-21-1991. It also focuses on how the Foundation 
adapts to a scenario. 


Due to an error in the Binah Pattern Recognition SystemS, the 
Foundation accidentally attacked a GOC base, ending in the death 
of over 3,000 GOC personnel. This event escalated tensions 
between the Foundation and the Coalition, causing an event called 
the 'GOC-Foundation War' that lasted three years. 


The contents of the documentary includes footage of Foundation 
agents locating, capturing, and containing several anomalous 
objects and entities. It includes interviews with Foundation personnel 
and sapient entities, including an interview with 05-12. The following 
is an incomplete list of incidents, objects, personnel, and members 
of Gols that appear in the documentary:

Following this incident, the entire county of [REDACTED] was given 
Class-A amnestics over the course of five days, the elimination of all 
recordings of SCP-2238-A-23, and the detainment of over _ staff 
members involved in the film'. All personnel involved with How 
They Hid In The Darkness deny any involvement with the 
documentary. 


Addendum-2238.3 
The following is a series of transcripts from the documentary How 


They Hid In The Darkness. 
Excerpts from "How They Hid In The Darkness" 


"It was early in the morning when | first started 
hearing the artillery shells. | didn't know they 
were artillery shells at the time, just knew that 
something loud was going off. Got up and tried 
looking through the window. In the distance, 
this building that | had passed by on my way to 
work was being burned to the ground. | always 
thought it was a barracks or a laboratory, if 
only | knew.... 


"Some men drag me and my daughters out of 
the house. They say they are with the 
Coalition, a force trying to keep humanity safe. 
They tell us to get onto a bus to the nearest 
civilian safe zone. They take us to one, and 
they force all the men and women above the 
age of fifteen but not over fifty to come with 
them. | never saw my daughters again." — 
Survivor of Site-43 raid. 


"Our job was to get the civilians out to the safe 
zones. Most didn't know what was going on, 
and the ones that did knew there was no point 
in trying to keep themselves safe. The case 
that always sticks out in my mind was this old 
man near the border of Paris. He refused to 
leave his house. Lived in it since the second 
world war before the Communists and Brits 
invaded. We couldn't get him to move. When 
the Coalition attacked, the house was 
destroyed, and we never found the body." — 
Civilian Protectorates, Paris, France. 


"The reason we used amnestics during the 
war was because of their tactical usage. Throw 
in some amnestics in a can into a room filled 
with enemy combatants and have them all 


forget who they are for ten or twenty seconds 
while you mow them down with your M16. 
Simplistic, really." — Foundation General 
Kennedy. 


"They're murderers, is what | think of ‘em. The 
janitors, all of them, are fuckin' animals. | 
thought they were just bogey men, used to 
scare some normies and losers on the 
internet. No. Moscow [Pauses] Moscow was 
my home. Moscow was the only safe place left 
in Eastern Europe. All others were destroyed 
in the battles, mostly by nukes and other 
weapons. | didn't think they had the balls to 
drop that animal onto us. Killing us with its 
giant scythe, butchering us like insects. 
[Pauses] Bodies littered the streets. Men, 
women, [Pauses] children. Of course, the 
Coalition had no choice. What other choice did 
they even have?"— Gamers Against Weed 
member, survivor of Moscow bombing. 


"Europe turned into an absolute hell hole 
during the first few months. The once spotless 
meadows was now covered with hundreds of 
large holes were the bombs and shells 
dropped. And the larger ones were where we 
dropped the nukes on their sites. You could 
feel the radiation from up in the air. Made 
some men so sick that they passed out and 
crashed their planes." — Private of the 
Foundation air force. 


"There was never enough food for us. The 
Coalition forced us to work the farms 
surrounding the safe zones. They had quotas 
for what we needed to produce in a season. 
Each group needed to produce ten pounds of 
food from each of the nine crops they gave us 
in the span of nine months. If we didn't 


produce that much, we were expected to 
spend nine months on the frontlines in Europe 
or America. We heard the horror stories. 
[Pauses] The bombings, the killings. This one 
guy, a bunk mate of mine, was told that his 
group didn't produce enough food. [Brings 
tissue paper to his eyes] We found him in the 
bathroom. He swallowed his shaving knife." — 
Safe Zone Brazil resident. 


"Of course we needed to remove them. They 
were getting in the way, with all their rules and 
regulations. We needed those weapons, the 
Coalition were making their way to Britain and 
into the Gulf. But no, they said it was too 
‘unethical’. They were in the way of progress, 
we had no other choice. We sent in a ‘coalition 
spy' to kill them. Hm? Oh, yes, they knew too 
much. We couldn't allow a information breach 
of some sort."— O5-14 on the disbandment of 
the Ethics Committee. 


"We first used D-Class. They were monsters, 
no one would have missed them. But we 
started to lose more and more, and so we 
looked for other sources. Coalition POWs, 
civilians, things like that. The project was more 
important than any one life. Hm? Of course! Of 
course we did! We dropped the infected over 
their sites and spread it throughout Europe! 
We had no other choice."— Dr Mann on the 
use of SCP-008 for biological warfare. 


"We killed them. It was for the greater good of 
the war. | wish we didn't have to do it, but we 
did it. We rounded up the freaks, greens, 
blues, reds, anything that looked anomalous 
and forced them outside. We told them to dig a 
giant pit. Most of them were no older than 
forty. After they were done, we threw all of the 


objects in the site into the pit, and told them to 
face the pit. [Pauses] I'm.... I'm just glad that it 
wasn't me who had to pull the trigger." — 
Coalition Soldier, Veteran of the Raid on 
Site-19.

SCP-2239: Gatherer of Gratitudes 


Item #: SCP-2239 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2239 is contained at 
Site-17, in an aviary outfitted with an artificial pond. Access to 
SCP-2239 for experimentation requires Level-3 authorization; 
personnel entering the enclosure are to be accompanied by an 
agent for observation. All morphological variations exhibited by 
SCP-2239 must be documented and SCP-2239’s diet adjusted 
accordingly. 


SCP-2239 is to be visited twice daily by designated personnel to 
maintain its continued health and cooperation. Attentive care is to be 
taken when handling SCP-2239, as it has occasionally refused to 
eat unless fed by hand. 


Description: SCP-2239 is an entity that soontaneously experiences 
involuntary morphological changes, affecting both its appearance 
and bodily composition. Currently, SCP-2239 maintains the form of 
a juvenile Chiloscyllium punctatum (brown-banded bamboo shark), 
with wing structures similar to that of Sasakia charonda (Japanese 
emperor butterfly) sprouting from near its dorsal fin.! SCP-2239 is 
believed to be sapient (see Addendum 2239-1), but generally 
exhibits behavior consistent with that of non-anomalous organisms. 
When administered intelligence tests, SCP-2239 exhibited widely 
different scores, suggesting cognitive instability. 


The forms SCP-2239 assumes are believed to be reliant on the 
individual SCP-2239 considers its primary caregiver; throughout its 
transformations, it has consistently adopted appearances? that elicit 
positive and protective responses in those who are most often in its 
presence. While the extent of SCP-2239's metamorphic capabilities 
is unknown, it has never manifested a form larger than 0.5 meters in 
length. 


System Override: Containment Protocol 289 has been 
rescinded. Authorization 
approved.

SCP-2239 was recovered during a Foundation raid on a Marshall, 
Carter, and Dark facility operating under the guise of a luxury pet 
shop. Seized documentation indicated that SCP-2239 had been sold 
five times3 prior to Foundation intervention. Upon its discovery, 
SCP-2239 had taken the form of Japanese Bobtail cat with an 
injured foreleg. Three weeks later, while held in transitional 
accommodations, SCP-2239 was reported to have adopted the 
appearance of various cat breeds. Two of these forms resembled 
those of domestic cats owned by Foundation personnel managing 
the temporary animal shelter. 


When rerouted to anomalous specimen housing, SCP-2239 
alternated its appearance between three different forms* before 
remaining as a brown-banded bamboo shark upon its transfer to 
Kiryu Labs. When placed under the experimental supervision of 
Researcher Kiryu, it manifested its current form and was moved to 
its present containment. As previous attempts to tag SCP-2239 for 
identification purposes were unsuccessful,° SCP-2239 is to remain 
under Kiryu Labs supervision to encourage it to maintain its current 
form. 


Addendum 2239-1: Upon the introduction of sand to its 
containment area (for sunning purposes), SCP-2239 began to spend 
increased amounts of time outside of its aquarium, dragging its tail 
through the sand to create furrows. This behavior eventually 
progressed into producing identifiable Chinese characters 
(traditional) and Japanese kanji. Observation periods were 
increased to twice-daily interactions to facilitate further development. 


SCP-2239's initial attempts to communicate consisted of partially- 
formed characters written in groups scattered around its 
containment unit. Through encouragement from research personnel 
using extended interaction time and dietary supplements, SCP-2239 
was gradually persuaded to form complete phrases and sentences.® 
Interviews were attempted but occurred at irregular intervals, as 
SCP-2239 would regress to exhibiting solely animal-like behavior 
following each interview.’ 


Excerpt from interview 2239- (translated from Mandarin 
Chinese and Japanese). The interviewer addresses 
SCP-2239 in Japanese, while SCP-2239 responds 


alternatively in Chinese and Japanese characters/kanji. 
Recorded time of the full interview is 2 hours and 43 
minutes; the following exchange comprises the last 90 
minutes of the interview. 


Researcher Kiryu: How many different forms have you 
taken? 


SCP-2239: Very many. | forget. But more so, | remember 
every person | belonged to. 


Researcher Kiryu: What do you remember? 


SCP-2239: Bird whistles sung by human. Calloused 
hands smoothing my ears. A wrinkled, toothless smile. 
Sandalwood and jasmine scent on hospital pillows. 
There was always someone. But | never forgot the 
others. 


Researcher Kiryu: Do you remember the first form you 
lived as? 


SCP-2239: Yes. A traveling tradesman. Unremarkable. 
One day he bought fruit from a street vendor. The human 
never looked at him. Merely fussed over a half-dead dog. 


Researcher Kiryu: Do you have any other memories of 
that time? 


SCP-2239: Loneliness. Blank faces at the market. The 
smell of cold hay. My feet on the road. The sound of one 
pair of footsteps. 


Researcher Kiryu: How do you feel about your current 
state? 


SCP-2239: | am fulfilled. | am content with affection 
given freely. No matter how little. 


[SCP-2239 stops writing and approaches Researcher 
Kiryu, moving in a swimming pattern consistent with 
hunger and anticipation of food. Researcher Kiryu 


provides a handful of shrimp before resuming the 
interview. ] 


Researcher Kiryu: If | may ask, do you miss being 
human? 


SCP-2239: Never. /oause, SCP-2239 folds and unfolds 
its wings] | am happier. | learned to give. | learned to 
feel. Properly. 


Researcher Kiryu: This "proper" emotion, would you 
say it is love? 


SCP-2239: Not love. /oause] Deeper. Truer. Amae.8 It is 
all | need. 


[SCP-2239's penmanship begins to deteriorate and 
become illegible after this point, prompting Researcher 
Kiryu to discontinue the interview. ] 


Footnotes 

1. Itis noted that while SCP-2239 exhibits several lepidopteran 
behaviors, such as sunning itself outside of water, it is incapable of 
sustained flight due to a distortion of its left forewing. When 
submerged, SCP-2239 flattens its wings along its back. 

2. The changes SCP-2239 undergoes invariably include signs of 
injury or malnutrition. 

3. A signing requirement on the pet license required the owner to, 
upon their death, release SCP-2239 back to the pet shop. 

4. Pomeranian puppy, red squirrel, and eastern chipmunk. 

5. AS SCP-2239's various morphological changes altered its body 
structure and appendages, the tags and microchips implanted into it 
would disappear in between transformations. The process by which 
this occurs is unknown. 

6. SCP-2239 additionally, of its own volition, developed a long side- 
stroke movement to indicate it had finished writing and was awaiting 
a response. 

7. These periods of behavioral regression varied between 3 to 14 
days in length, but have lately increased in duration following most 
recent interviews. 

8. Translated from HA, emotional dependence.

SCP-2240: Young Floridian Couple 


Item #: SCP-2240 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2240-1 is currently held 
within a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-17. 
SCP-2240-1's cell requires no unusual furnishings beyond the basic 
requirements for non-anomalous human habitation, though a bed of 
at least North American Queen size has been shown to be effective 
at discouraging aggressive actions on the part of SCP-2240-2, and 
is currently installed as an incentive for further cooperation on the 
part of SCP-2240-1. 


SCP-2240-1's containment cell is to be equipped with standard 
concealed video and audio recording devices; however, pursuant to 
Disciplinary Incident Review 2240-53-7, access to footage recorded 
from these devices between the periods of 2200 to 0600 hours are 
to require written approval from Site Director _. Should at any time 
SCP-2240-2 begin to deviate from its established pattern of 
behavior, and attempt to breach containment with the use of force, 
these Special Containment Procedures are to be revised pending 
review of the observed maximum force capabilities of SCP-2240-2. 


Description: SCP-2240-1 is a male humanoid of Puerto Rican 
descent, born in19 . SCP-2240-1 exhibits no anomalous 
properties or capabilities aside from manifestations of SCP-2240-2, 
which appear to be beyond its control. 


SCP-2240-2 is a spacetime anomaly of an as yet undetermined 
nature, completely imperceptible by all non-anomalous Foundation 
technology, described by SCP-2240-1 as his boyfriend ,a 
deceased individual who records show died in a car accident on 12/ 
/20 in , Florida, USA. When shown photographs of the late 
taken shortly before his death, SCP-2240-1 asserts that the 
appearance of SCP-2240-2 is largely identical. 


SCP-2240-2's primary effect is the manipulation of inanimate objects 
in a manner consistent with the use of human hands; however, to 
date there have been no confirmed incidents of SCP-2240-2 
manipulating objects outside of SCP-2240-1's immediate vicinity, 
generally limiting its field of effect to SCP-2240-1's containment cell. 
SCP-2240-2 has shown no interest in interacting with any individual 
other than SCP-2240-1. It is undetermined at this time whether 
SCP-2240-2 is physically capable of acting outside of the immediate 
vicinity of SCP-2240-1. Further research into the nature of 
SCP-2240-2, and the extent of its independence, is temporarily 
suspended pending review from the Site Director of Site-17. 


SCP-2240-1 and SCP-2240-2 are capable of communicating with 
each other in a manner consistent with typical human interaction, 
with SCP-2240-1 reporting being able to see, smell, hear, and touch 
SCP-2240-2 as if it were physically present. The majority of these 
perceptions on the part of SCP-2240-1 could be interpreted 
skeptically as typical hallucinations; thus, anomalous communication 
between SCP-2240-1 and SCP-2240-2 is best understood when the 
latter initiates contact with the former, particularly by touch. 


To observers, these interactions appear as SCP-2240-1 
spontaneously responding to sensory inputs when no corresponding 
source is apparent. The most credibly anomalous of these 
interactions comprise physical altercations between SCP-2240-1 

and SCP-2240-2. To date, SCP-2240-1 has suffered one (1) minor 
facial bruise to the left cheek consistent with an open-handed slap, 
suffered during Recovery Interview 2240 (see below), as well as four 
(4) bruised bite marks to the left side of the neck, regarding which 
SCP-2240-1 has not been forthcoming. 


SCP-2240-1 is often observed in its containment cell gesturing in the 
direction of empty air, especially during periods in which 
manifestations of SCP-2240-2 are registered by research staff. 
There have been no reported incidents in which SCP-2240-2 has 
interacted with any other individual. Nor have any staff "bumped 
into" SCP-2240-2, either inadvertently or in the course of Foundation 
research.

Interviewed: SCP-2240-1 
Interviewer: Dr. 


Foreword: This interview occurred on / /20 , two days 
after the initial transfer of SCP-2240-1 into Foundation 
custody from the [REDACTED] County Sheriff's Office 
Department of Corrections. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. : Good morning, 2240-1. My name is Dr. | 
hope you've been finding your new accommodations 
comfortable. 


SCP-2240-1: Mornin’, . Yeah, what can | say? The 
bed's a bit small for the both of us, and these jumpsuits 
ain't the comfiest thing in the world, but it's nice enough 
here, | guess. Better than [REDACTED] County

tongue for a moment.] It's been like this, | guess since 

about a month after the funeral. months or so in total 

now. | can't help it. 


Dr. —: Could you describe for me what it's like to see

know | ain't crazy. | wish | was. | took every last anti- 
psychotic we could get our hands on. Well, that and 
some other stuff. Easy to rob [REDACTED] when you've 
got a ghost helpin' ya. That's what | got thrown in for, you 
know. Them pills messed me up bad. If anything they 
whacked me out more than he does. 


[SCP-2240-1 abruptly turns to his right, apparently 


listening for an inaudible interjection by SCP-2240-2, 
before responding.] 


SCP-2240-1: You know | did you little maricon - 


[SCP-2240-1 abruptly jerks his head to the right and 
clutches his cheek. A red mark is visible across it, though 
no slapping sound was observed or recorded by 
Foundation staff.] 


SCP-2240-1: Ow! You little - 
Dr. : Are you alright, 2240-1 - 


SCP-2240-1: Yeah yeah yeah, it's nothin’. Just 
messin’ around. I'll get him back for that tonight. 


Dr. _: ls 2240-2 typically aggressive, 2240-1? With 
you, or anyone else? 


SCP-2240-1: Hey, speaking of which, you gonna tell me 
what's up with these frickin’ serial numbers already? My 
name is - 


Dr. : Please answer the question, 2240-1. This is very 
important for both your continued accommodation and 
the safety of our personnel. 


SCP-2240-1: ...Could you get us a bigger bed if | 
answer? 


Dr. _: That can be arranged, 2240-1.

SCP-2241: Cameron The Crusader 


Item #: SCP-2241 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2241 is to be kept ina 
standard humanoid containment cell. SCP-2241 is to be allowed 
access to television and comic books and may be denied access to 
said items as punishment, if required. SCP-2241 maintains a normal 
human diet but should be given additional food post-testing if 
requested. As SCP-2241's co-operation is considered essential to 
long term containment, personnel are to call SCP-2241 by its given 
name, "Cameron", when speaking to or nearby it. 


In order to facilitate research, personnel other than the assigned 
psychologist and those specifically designated may not become 
friendly with SCP-2241. If personnel suspect that SCP-2241 is 
beginning to develop a rapport with them, they are required to deter 
this. 


Description: SCP-2241 is a seven-year-old, brown-haired male 
humanoid which has a minor telekinetic ability and is showing signs 
of a latent reality bending ability - see below. SCP-2241 is to be led 
to believe that the Foundation maintains custody of him for his 
protection and so that they can learn to understand his powers and 
use them to develop more "superheroes". 


More specifically, SCP-2241 shows the ability to manipulate objects 
it can see and which are within approximately six metres of it. In 
addition to this, manipulated objects may teleport or be changed 
slightly, implying a more general reality bending ability. 


SCP-2241 is considered a good candidate for long-term/intensive 
research into telekinesis and reality bending specifically, and 
anomalous humanoids generally. 


Currently, the leading theory among Foundation researchers is that 
anomalous humanoids of this type develop stronger or additional 
anomalous abilities as they age, with the possibility of developing 
into full scale reality benders increased by emotional stress. As 
such, it is considered essential to long-term containment and 
research that SCP-2241 believes he is working with the Foundation. 


Foreword: Interview between Researcher and 
SCP-2241. Valdez is to attempt to clarify details of the 
anomalous incident during which SCP-2241 was 
contained (apparently while stopping a kidnapping), to 
establish a rapport with SCP-2241, and to make 
recommendations for research. 


<Begin Log> 


Valdez: Cameron, can you tell me what was happening 
when the fire team found you? 


SCP-2241: Fire team? You mean the soldier guys? 
Valdez: That's right. 

SCP-2241: | was trying to help that lady. 

Valdez: Why were you helping her? 


SCP-2241: She looked scared. The bad guy had a gun. 
She was trying to run away. Someone had to help her. 


Valdez: But why did you have to help her? Why not run 
and call the police? 


SCP-2241: Superheroes have to help people! | can 
move things without touching them and other people 
can't so | should use that to help them! 


Valdez: That's very good of you, Cameron. Have you 
helped anyone else like this? 


SCP-257: Professor William Woodsworth’s 
Collection of Curiosities 


Item #: SCP-257 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Owing to the immobile nature 
of SCP-257, Site 93 has been erected outside of SCP-257. Access 
to the interior of SCP-257 is restricted to level two containment and 
recovery personnel and above. Motion-detecting video cameras 
have been set up throughout SCP-257's exhibits to monitor any new 
biological specimens that appear. 


All biological specimens extracted from SCP-257 are to be 
examined, logged, and removed from SCP-257. Biological 
specimens are to be placed in one of Site 93’s temporary holding 
pens for study and threat classification. If researchers identify 
specimens they deem worthy of further research, personnel are to 
fill out Form 257-12 and follow appropriate research protocols. 
Specimens are otherwise sent to Bio-Site 29 for storage and long- 
term care. 


Description: SCP-257 is an abandoned zoological garden and park 
located in , United Kingdom. The zoo itself, described as a 
"Collection of Curiosities" is named for a William Woodsworth, billed 
as “the greatest explorer and naturalist this side of Reality 12/3.14.” 
According to promotional materials found within SCP-257, the zoo 
was founded in 1899 to “educate the gentlemen and ladies of 
England about Nature, and the many strange Beasts encountered 
by Explorers on their Travels.” No permits, building licences, or 
planning permissions have been found that correspond to the 
location or appearance of SCP-257. 


Several signs and notices indicate that the zoo has been temporarily 
closed for maintenance, but the dilapidated appearance of the park 
and outdated equipment suggests that the park has been 


SCP-2241: No, I've only ever practiced. In the woods 
and stuff. 


Valdez: Has anyone ever caught you practicing? 
SCP-2241: | don't think so, | tried to keep it secret, but 
sometimes people go for walks in the woods and they 


might have saw me, but | don't think so. 


Valdez: Ok, that's good. What kinds of things can you 
do? 

SCP-2241: | can move stuff without touching it, but not if 
it's too far away or if it's too big. Only like a cup across a 
room or a person's arm or something. Sometimes it can 
sorta change as well. 


Valdez: What do you mean by "it can change", 
Cameron? 


SCP-2241: Sometimes when I'm moving something it 
changes to something | want. Like one time when | was 
moving a stone, it changed to look like a toy | lost. But it 
changed back after a while, b'fore | even got home. 
Valdez: Have you ever changed something on purpose? 
SCP-2241: Not really. Sometimes when | hear my 
parents yelling | wish they'd stop and they get distracted 
for a little bit but they usually go back to arguing. 
SCP-2241 becomes visibly upset 

Valdez: Do your parents fight often? 

SCP-2241: No. Not really. They don't mean to be angry. 


Valdez: Do they ever get angry at you? 


SCP-2241: Sometimes. Daddy says it's my fault. | should 


just try harder. Mommy gets mad when my ru-room is 
messy but | try to keep it clean, | d-don't want her to be 
mad. 

Sound of SCP-2241 sniffling 

Valdez: It's ok, Cameron. You- You're ok here. 
SCP-2241: Th-hank you. 

Valdez: You know that ordinary people wouldn't 
understand about these powers? And that some other 
people with powers might try to hurt you? 


SCP-2241: Yeah, heroes have to have a secret iden'ity. 


Valdez: Did you have a superhero name to protect your 
identity picked out? 


SCP-2241: I'm Cameron the cruth- Crusader. 


Valdez: That's a cool name, Cameron. Because of this 
danger, you're going to be staying here with the SCP 
Foundation for a while. Do you have any questions? 


SCP-2241: What does SCP mean, mister? 
Valdez: It means "Secure, Contain, Protect" 


SCP-2241: So it fights bad guys? Like SHIELD and the 
‘vengers? 


Valdez: That's right, Cameron. Like the Avengers. 


<End log> 

Researcher Valdez's Closing Statement: SCP-2241 
appears to trust me and believe that the Foundation is 
attempting to help him as much as possible. SCP-2241's 
account is consistent with the early stages of a humanoid 
developing a reality-bending ability. SCP-2241 may have 


experienced abuse at the hands of its parents, leading to 
early development of said ability. In the event that a 
more developed ability is required for research, similar 
emotional stress can be applied by Foundation staff. 


Addendum 2241-01: Following initial testing, it seems that only a 
more developed ability will yield new data. Standard emotional 
manipulation and gaslighting techniques have had no effect thus far. 
Allowing a D-class to believe he has a valuable hostage in 
SCP-2241 and a chance to escape may provide the required 
emotional stimulus. 


Addendum 2241-02: During the hostage situation test, it became 
clear that SCP-2241 retains an aversion to violence it considers 
unnecessary. This is undesirable for testing purposes. Placing 
SCP-2241 in more direct and obvious danger following a violent 
incident may push it to use its abilities further. 


During this test, SCP-2241 showed direct control over changing the 
composition of a manipulated object; in this case, it was able to 
change a knife into a piece of chocolate. Researcher Valdez 
hypothesised that SCP-2241 was hungry during the event. 


Since the main testing event, it has shown semi-consistent use of 
this object transformation ability with a slightly extended range for 
telekinetic abilities. 


Addendum 2241-03: Pending further analysis of the data from the 
previous test, testing is now on hold by order of the Ethics 
Committee. After seeing a man killed and using its newly developed 
violent abilities, SCP-2241 has become unstable in a manner 
dangerous to both itself and the Foundation. A new Foundation 
psychiatrist is to be assigned to SCP-2241. 


Overridden by 05-3 upon receipt of full analysis. The data we are 
receiving has been judged to be worth the danger, and SCP-2241 
remains under the illusion that it is working with the Foundation. 
Testing will go ahead as planned. 


¢ SCP-2241 has stated that it intends to grow stronger to stop 
more people from dying, and this will help both it and us in this 


aim. Killing a man with a teleported bullet was a stroke of 
tactical genius from the SCP object. MTF-Theta-17 will be 
ready to respond during all further rounds of testing as a 
precaution. - 05-3 


Addendum 2241-04: Following recent rounds of O5-approved 
rapid-fire testing with added emotional risks (innocent bystanders 
and risk to SCP-2241's personal belongings), SCP-2241 has 
developed many further abilities consistent with reports of late-stage 
telekinetic reality benders. SCP-2241 can now consistently teleport 
matter and itself, act upon information from apparently several 
seconds in the future, and move or transform matter within twelve 
metres without directly viewing it. Hitherto unrecorded abilities, such 
as self-duplication, are also present. 


SCP-2241 has also shown good control over its abilities, expressing 
excitement about "leveling up," the desire to learn more soon and to 
better help the Foundation. Neurological and physiological 
monitoring during certain tests has brought some insight into the 
development of such abilities. Specific areas of the brain have been 
identified as key to anomalous perception and control, as described 
in document 2241-Neuro-23. 


+ Demonstrative sample of tests: 


Manipulation of non-SCP-classification anomalous 
objects ranging from simple movement and teleportation 
to complex puzzle solving: 


* SCP-2241 had some difficulty with anomalous 
object displacement at first, describing it as "like 
grabbing a bouncy ball that won't stop". This was 
soon overcome, and SCP-2241 was capable of 
manipulating the more complex objects with ease, 
only slowed in terms of puzzle-solving skills by the 
most complex object. Despite initially growing 
frustrated with this, SCP-2241 was delighted when 
the anomalous puzzle box contained his favourite 
brand of chocolate bar. 


Apparent danger to Foundation personnel from 


"malfunctioning" armed drones: 


* SCP-2241 turned the drones on each other, 
disarming the last by teleporting its weaponry 
away from it. 


Bomb disposal in the vicinity of "innocent civilian" D- 
class: 


* SCP-2241 appeared to absorb energy of bomb at 
time of explosion. This mechanism is not well 
understood, but is believed to be a transformation 
of kinetic energy to some form of equivalent 
potential energy. 


A "suicide bomber" attacking "innocent civilian" D-class 
with the stipulation that the bomber be taken alive. 


* SCP-2241 teleported bomb vest into explosive 
containment vessel, before rendering the bomber 
unconcious with a punch. Notable in that 
SCP-2241 did not punch with any unusual force or 
speed and therefore rendered the bomber 
unconcious via other anomalous means. 


Injured personnel needing to be moved with extreme 
precision. 


¢ Impromptu test, SCP-2241 was capable of 
teleporting a researcher who had fallen down 
some stairs to the nearest medical bay without 
displacement of broken collar bone or any 
discomfort on the part of the researcher. 


"Discovery" of bomb within SCP-2241's personal 
belongings. 


* SCP-2241 became enraged and teleported bomb 
a great distance into sky before it detonated. 
SCP-2241 took some time to calm down, 
repeatedly stating that "no one can take my things. 


It's not fair. I'm strong. I'm the crusader." Noted 
lack of precision with abilities when angry. Possibly 
deliberate show of rage. 


Stealing box from Foundation-modified bank vault 


* SCP-2241 managed to teleport in, take the box 
and "slow down" Foundation sensors after tripping 
them before they could transmit that someone had 
been detected. This was only discovered upon 
later analysis. Clear violation of causality by 
SCP-2241. SCP-2241 expressed no concern 
about activities of dubious morality - a clear 
change from even days ago. 


Long-range surprise attack by robotic mortar: 


* SCP-2241 became enraged and caught mortar 
bomb before throwing it back to the launcher at 
appromixately 1.4 times the speed of sound. 
Mortar detonated upon impact with mortar. 
SCP-2241 is clearly less precise in abilities and 
more violent generally while angry. Perception 
problems when angry also seem to be an issue. 
SCP-2241 was heard to say "I hate them. I'ma 
Foundation 'venger and | hate the bad guys and 
I'm gonna fight them all." 


Two "civilians" held hostage in rooms connected via 
bulletproof glass window by enemies with guns which 
SCP-2241 was informed were impervious to sabotage. 
SCP-2241 was also informed that the hostages could not 
be teleported without physical contact. SCP-2241 
instructed to rescue both hostages: 


* SCP-2241 duplicated self and teleported both 
hostages to Foundation "command post" 
simultaneously, before returning to capture both 
enemies. SCP-2241 reported nausea afterward 
but no other ill effects. Lack of attempts to do 
things SCP-2241 was told were impossible likely 


indicative of strong loyalty to, and belief in, the 
Foundation. This ability had not yet been 
confirmed among any known reality benders. 


The Ethics Committee formally recommends that testing be ceased 
while SCP-2241 receives treatment for severe emotional problems, 
and personnel are investigated. 


Overriden by O5-3. Testing will go anead as scheduled. Treatment 
of known problems will commence immediately afterward. Previous 
testing was approved with O5 clearance. 


Addendum 2241-05: In light of recent results, psychiatric treatment 
of SCP-2241 has been delayed in favour of invasive neurological 
testing with emphasis on closer monitoring of newly discovered 
hotspots during utilisation of anomalous abilities in live combat. 
Surgery will commence within the week and SCP-2241 will then be 
deployed against armed D-class from military backgrounds. 


Testing cancelled by Ethics Committee following routine review. 
Researcher Valdez under investigation, security clearance 
temporarily revoked. 


¢ Implanting a monitoring chip into a child this young can not be 
done without significant developmental damage in later years. 
This will cause catastrophic problems for both the child and 
long term containment, given his well developed capabilities. 
Additionally, deploying a child in combat, even under testing 
conditions, violates all moral norms. Personnel involved in 
sweeping the previous rapid-fire tests under the rug are under 
review. - Ethics Committee ID EC12A51 


Testing reinstated by order of O5-3. Research Valdez’ clearance 
restored. 


¢ These tests are more important than one SCP, regardless of 
whether it looks like a child. Long-term containment and 
observation is no longer a priority, given the utility of data we 
have collected via intensive testing in the short term. The risk 
of the SCP breaching containment is minimal, given its loyalty. 
We now know which parts of the brain deal with certain 


anomalous abilities. With more detail, we can see how. We 
may even learn how to induce these abilities - and we will 
definitely learn how to neutralise them. - O5-3 


Testing cancelled by O5-4 and O5-7 following investigation of 
researcher complaints. Researcher Valdez held by security 
personnel pending council meeting. 


¢ This is too far. We can not let this stand as precedent. This is 
but one step removed from child soldiers and even less 
removed from militarising an SCP-level object. - 05-4. 


Testing reinstated by majority Overseer vote following emergency 
council meeting. Researcher Valdez exonerated. Testing will go 
ahead at the end of the week, assuming no complications. 


* | believe the results will justify both the risks and the means. 
We are closer than ever to understanding the mechanism by 
which human brains interact with extranormal phenomena. 
The emotional and eventual neurological damage to 
SCP-2241 is... unfortunate but it is also necessary for the 
advancement of our understanding. In addition, due to the 
new modification of the monitoring hardware, 2241 can be 
neutralised quickly should it become a threat at any time after 
the surgery. - Researcher Valdez.

SCP-2242: Technical Difficulties 


Item #: SCP-2242 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Refinement of the next iteration 
of FOS! is currently in the final stages of testing before full-scale 
rollout to all Foundation servers, workstations, and mobile devices. 
Confirmation that SCP-2242 has not migrated is still pending final 
determination by Technical Researcher David Rosen.1 


Following the changeover, a small LAN2 of approximately twelve 
stations will be maintained with FOS 14.1 at Site 15 for future 
surveillance and potential information exchange opportunities. 
Additional devices may be temporarily reverted to FOS 14.1 for 
research purposes at other facilities with approval from staff of 
Security Clearance 3/2242. 


In the event of future SCP-2242 manifestations outside of FOS 14.1, 
non-essential access to all Foundation servers will be suspended 
until reversion to a stable and uninfected software iteration is 
completed. 


Until total neutralization of SCP-2242 has been confirmed, digital 
storage of the following on any iteration of FOS is prohibited: 


¢ All documents requiring Level 5 Security Clearance. 

¢ All documents pertaining to extradimensional communication, 
dislocation, and integration. 

¢ Personnel files which have been updated within the last 90 
days. 


Description: SCP-2242 is a phenomenon affecting FOS 14.13 and 
all records accessed using this software. No prior iterations have 
displayed any similar anomalous properties. SCP-2242 is currently 
understood to be an extradimensional connection to the intranet 


servers of the Foundation from an alternate timeline. To date these 
two instances of the Foundation? have only been able to interact by 
minor footnote and bibliographic reference alterations to documents 
with shared intranet locations.4 Notations from baseline reality have 
the conventional "Footnotes" titling of the in-text and post-text 
citations; notations from SCP-2242-1 are labeled as "Reference" in- 
text and do not appear in a post-text citation block. Access to the 
SCP-2242-1 version of documents occurs at random intervals when 
attempting to access any intranet location extant within both 
realities, and it is understood that this effect is comparable within 
SCP-2242-1. 


Circumstantial evidence has led to the standing hypothesis that 
knowledge of SCP-2242 has not become ubiquitous among all 
Foundation personnel in SCP-2242-1 who would have had contact 
with affected documentation. It is instead believed that the 
information has been confined to personnel within the Information 
Technology Department, a small group of personnel from various 
other departments, and at least one member of the O5 Council. 


SCP-2242-1 has thus far been understood to conform to the same 
theories of physics as believed to govern baseline reality. Current 
estimates based on collected data hypothesize SCP-2242-1 to be 
approximately 97% identical to baseline reality; while the differences 
between the two timelines have resulted in some variations, all 
major historical events appear to be generally intact.4 


Discovery: The first appearance of SCP-2242 activity was recorded 
on 01/13/2016, approximately forty-eight hours after the release of 
FOS 14.1; this has since been identified as coinciding with the 
release of FOS 14.11 in SCP-2242-1.5 Integration of reference 
notations from both realities was complete within the following 
twenty-four hours. 


Initial theories presumed that the notations likely stemmed from a 
non-anomalous source, with the prevailing theory quickly becoming 
that of a cyber attack by an unspecified GOI. The lack of any coding 
on affected pages to correspond with the notations from 
SCP-2242-1 was discovered shortly thereafter, prompting 
reevaluation for potential anomalous properties. Further 
communication with the authors of the notations led to the current 


abandoned for at least fifty (50) years. 


At irregular intervals, animals will appear within the zoo’s confines 
through an unknown manner. These animals appear in the various 
enclosures at random intervals. Simultaneously, a hand-written 
manual appears at the entrance of the zoo inside the ticket booth. 
These guides detail the proper care and feeding of each organism 
and sometimes reveal information about its origin and acquisition. 
The animals vary widely in appearance, behaviour, and 
classification; many do not appear to be related to any terrestrial 
animals. There does not appear to be any schedule as to when 
these animals are delivered. See Acquisition Log W-257 fora 
complete list of animals delivered in the past years. 


On // 


, the following typewritten note was discovered pinned to 


the entrance of SCP-257 along with a guide. 


FROM THE DESK OF PROFESSOR WILLIAM 
WOODSWORTH, EXPLORER AND NATURALIST 


To the esteemed gentlemen and zoological enthusiasts 
of the Special Containment Procedures Foundation: 


As you are no doubt aware by now, | have decided to 
entrust you with my zoo and my collection of rare and 
exotic animals while | take a leave of absence. You are 


straight-thinking and responsible men of science and you 
will no doubt be able to look after them. After my travels 
through [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED], 
I've decided to visit the thirteenth moon of Enouious as 
the next stop on my safari. Naturalists and learned men 
such as yourselves will no doubt enjoy studying some of 
the splendid and vital creatures that I’ve discovered here. 
The viewing public will appreciate the new additions to 
my collection- they’re like nothing I’ve ever seen! | 
cannot write much longer; my indigene guides and | will 
be up early tomorrow to check the traps. 


Keep up the good work! 


- Regards, Professor William Woodsworth 


understanding of the situation. Verification of this phenomenon as 
authentic and anomalous was not determined until O5-7 reported 
receiving a communication? from their analogue within SCP-2242- 1 
confirming the existence of an extradimensional information breach. 


Notable Statistical Disparities Within SCP-2242-1: 
+ Level 2 Security Clearance Required. 


Researcher's Note: The following statistics are presented 
as examples of the variance recorded between baseline 
reality and that of SCP-2242-1. It is not to be taken as a 
comprehensive list. Unabridged access to full 
demographic statistics is limited to personnel of Level 4 
Security Clearance. 


Population 


¢ Total global population of SCP-2242-1 is estimated 
at 7.1 billion, approximately 300 million fewer than 
baseline reality. No significant alterations to 
historical events have currently been identified to 
account for this large of a disparity. 

Left-handed individuals are estimated to make up 
14% of the population of SCP-2242-1, as opposed 
to the approximately 10% in baseline reality. 
Approximately one out of every 129 individuals in 
one timeline has never existed in the other 
timeline. 


© Atleast 77 Foundation personnel in baseline 
reality have no record of employment with 
the Foundation in SCP-2242-1. Twenty- 
three of these individuals have no records of 
ever existing within SCP-2242-1. 

© Atleast 86 of SCP-2242-1's Foundation's 
personnel have no record of employment 
with baseline reality's Foundation. Twenty- 
two of these individuals have no records of 
ever existing in this timeline. 


Anomalous 


¢ Classification policies of the Foundation within 
SCP-2242-1 are significantly more cautious. 


© Fifty-one objects from our Log of Anomalous 
ltems have been given full SCP Item 
classifications within SCP-2242-1. Because 
of this, numerical designations for dozens of 
entries are inconsistent between the 
timelines. 

© In 13 cases, Items classified as Safe by our 
Foundation have been designated Euclid by 
SCP-2242-1's Foundation. 

© In 35 cases, Items classified as Euclid by 
our Foundation have been designated Keter 
by SCP-2242-1's Foundation. 

© In two cases, Items classified as Safe by our 
Foundation have been designated Keter by 
SCP-2242-1's Foundation. 

© [DATA EXPUNGED] 


¢ A total of 19 Items previously undiscovered by our 
Foundation were identified by the records of the 
Foundation within SCP-2242-1. 


© Six of these Items have since been 
contained. 


* SCP-2242-1's Foundation had not previously 
identified 28 Items within our records. 


© Ten of these Items have since been 
contained. 


Addendum 01/29/2016: Recent reports from SCP-2242-1 confirm 
that the phenomenon has expanded to include additional realities.6¢ 
Preliminary communication between SCP-2242-1 and these new 
instances, which have been designated SCP-2242-1-(1~7), 
indicates that the phenomenon continues to be isolated within 


Foundation intranet servers across all realities. Of note is increased 
variation in the affected FOS iterations, which now range from 
version 12.5 (in SCP-2242-1-2) to version 16.1.1 (in SCP-2242-1-5). 
Non-essential access to FOS 14.1 has been suspended while the 
extent of this effect and the potential fallout scenarios are 
determined; reversion to FOS 13.6 is currently underway.

Item #: SCP-2243 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2243 is to be kept in a 
33x50x63 cm enclosure. The enclosure must contain no fewer than 
two containers containing a seed mixture with nutrient levels suitable 
for Lonchura striata domestica, 2 water containers and, at the 
request of SCP-2243-B, at least one water container must be large 
enough for "splashy time". 


The enclosure is to be cleaned and maintained bi-weekly by level 2 
personnel. The enclosure may be changed and additional features 
added at the request of SCP-2243-A or SCP-2243-B with Site 
Director approval. 


SCP-2243 shall be made available for translator services with Site 
Director approval. 


Description: Separately SCP-2243-A, SCP-2243-B, SCP-2243-C 
behave as one would expect objects and creatures they resemble to 
behave. When placed within 1.9 m of each other SCP-2243 
becomes active. 


SCP-2243 is a collection of three entities, SCP-2243-A, SCP-2248- 
B, and SCP-2243-C. SCP-2243-A refers to itself as "Daisy" and 
SCP-2243-B refers to itself as "Tissle"!. SCP-2243-C does not 
display any cognitive awareness or sentience as of this writing. 


Mobile Task Force Operative (henceforth referred to as 
MTFO) purchased both SCP-2243-A and SCP-2243-B at the pet 
supply chain . Both appear to be female Lonchura striata 
domestica, more commonly known as Society Finches. MTFO 
purchased SCP-2243-C approximately one month later. SCP-2243- 
C is approximately 11.4 cm, comprised of rope, rubber, and plastic 


and appears as a common bird toy sold to the general public. MTFO 
brought SCP-2243 to the Foundation once the anomalous properties 
were detected. 


While active, any subject within a 4.02m radius of SCP-2243 will 
hear SCP-2243-A and SCP-2243-B speaking in the language that 
the subject is most fluent in, instead of the normal sounds produced 
by Lonchua striata domestica. The subject is able to converse with 
SCP-2243-A and SCP-2243-B with no observable long-term effects. 
Any persons outside of a 4.02m radius will perceive SCP-2243-A 
and SCP-2243-B as sounding like normal Lonchua striata 
domestica. Any persons outside of a 4.02m radius from SCP-2243 
will also perceive the subject as imitating "peeping" or "chirping" 
noises instead of normal human speech. 


While writing within the effect radius, subject will believe themselves 
to be writing normally; however, upon leaving the radius, the words 
appear as variations of "peep" and "chirp". This effect happens 
regardless if typed or written by hand.

Researcher _ : Peep peep chirp 
Dr. OK. 
Researcher — : chirp chirp 
Dr. : | don't get the joke 


Researcher — : chirp peep chirp chirp chirp 
peep peep chirp 


Dr. : Just give me a call when you're done 
goofing around. 


<Dr. noted the following phone call was 
equally unproductive.> 


When viewed or listened to remotely, persons still perceive the 
subject, SCP-2243-A, and SCP-2243-B as emitting standard bird 
sounds. When viewed remotely, it can be seen that the subject does 


indeed write variations of "peep" or "chirp", the impression the 
subject has that he or she is writing normally is apparently only 
applicable to those within the effect radius. 


It seems the subject will perceive all speech made within the effect 
radius in his or her most fluent language, making SCP-2243 a useful 
translator for verbal communication if the participants are in the 
effect area together.

SCP-2243-A and SCP-2243-B seem to have the intelligence and 
understanding of a human toddler approximately 2-3 years of age. 
SCP-2243-A and SCP-2243-B acknowledge both are "different" than 
subjects, but possess no knowledge beyond what a normal Lonchua 
striata domestica raised for commercial purposes would be 
expected to know. The grammar and sentence structure reflects that 
understanding regardless of language the subject hears. 


SCP-2243 is explained as a type of parrot hybrid to anyone in the 
vicinity and is therefore not deemed a security threat.

SCP-2244: Partition E 


Item #: SCP-2244 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2244-1 and all instances 
of SCP-2244-2 are off-limits to all Foundation personnel unless 
explicitly authorized by Order-44-08A7, signed by at least three O5 
personnel and both Site-692 Administrators. Personnel who violate 
these conditions of interaction are subject to severe disciplinary 
action, up to and including termination of employment and 
administration of amnestics. 


Instances of SCP-2244-2 are not to be accosted, interfered with, or 
addressed by any personnel not authorized by Order-44-08A7. 
Personnel who do so are subject to disciplinary action, up to and 
including suspension without pay and administration of amnestics. 
All observations of SCP-2244-1 and/or SCP-2244-2 are to be logged 
with both Site Administrators. Should an instance of SCP-2244-2 
become aware of observation (designated a OOA1 Event), 
Foundation personnel are to abort their task and vacate the area if 
practicable. 


Note that personnel who cannot be accounted for following a 00A1 
Event cannot be guaranteed Foundation protection nor recovery 
efforts in the event they come into custody of an instance of 
SCP-2244-2. Personnel taken by SCP-2244-2 who are 
subsequently released are subject to interrogation by Site 
Administrators and potential re-assignment. 


Description: SCP-2244-1 is a four-story office building located on 
[REDACTED] in Miami, FL, belonging to the "Sunset Community 
Foundation", a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing 
technological components and computer skills training to 
underprivileged individuals. Prior to / /2014, this organization did 
not exist’. Despite this, all records pertaining to the SCF indicate 


they have existed in Miami, FL since 1971, and include legitimate 
registration and tax-exempt application forms as well as grant 
records maintained by other businesses, organizations, and 
corporations. 


Instances of SCP-2244-2 are employees of the Sunset Community 
Foundation. All observed instances appear to be human females 
between the ages of 14 and 70. No instance of SCP-2244-2 can be 
accounted for prior to 2014, nor appear to have any roots in the 
community, nor any records of birth, residence, or home ownership. 
None of these employees have been observed residing in any 
location other than SCP-2244-1 for a period of time exceeding 3-4 
hours. 


Subjects have additionally proven to be immune to all forms of 
amnestics, possessed of abnormal strength and speed and, if 
accosted or otherwise restrained, will become catatonic and 
unresponsive for a period of 30 to 180 seconds before abruptly 
disappearing2. 


While not hostile, SCP-2244-2 subjects have consistently refused all 
entry into SCP-2244-1, and have refused to answer questions 
regarding their company, in either a formal or informal context. 
Attempts by agents to trail and/or befriend subjects have been 
unsuccessful in yielding any information. Instead, Foundation 
personnel on Site-692 (established across from SCP-2244-1) are 
limited to outside observation of the building. All windows display 
unoccupied offices, and are sealed shut, disallowing any further 
observation deeper into the building. All entryways into SCP-2244-1 
are locked or otherwise guarded by instances of SCP-2244-2. 


As of 10/30/2014, SCP-2244-2 subjects have become aware of 
Foundation surveillance and inquiry attempts. Following Incident 
OOA8A, subjects have allowed brief interviews by Foundation 
personnel to answer questions relating to the safety and security of 
their work, although little else has been discussed. 


Discovery: On / /2014, the location of [REDACTED], which had 
previously been an unoccupied residence, was replaced with 
SCP-2244-1. Due to lack of eyewitnesses or video surveillance in 
the area, the incident cannot be pinpointed to an exact time.

Physical evidence of SCP-2244-1 itself, as well as "Sunset 
Community Foundation", appeared to exist prior to 2014 in multiple 
locations, both inside and outside the United States. Review of 
Foundation documentation regarding SCP-__, which had previously 
been [DATA EXPUNGED] due to its memetic effects, revealed that 
two businesses investigated between 2005 and 2007 by the 
Foundation did not in fact contain documentation regarding the 
"SCF"3. Where post-2014 records showed donations made to the 
SCF, preserved pre-2014 records show no such donations made. 


Incident OOA8A: On / /2015, Foundation surveillance cameras 
monitoring SCP-2244-1 abruptly lost power. At the same time, 
personnel on-site reported that SCP-2244-1 had momentarily 
disappeared and re-appeared as a larger building. Prior to this 
event, SCP-2244-1 was a two-story building occupying , square 
meters, after which it became a four-story building occupying , 
square meters. Within several hours, SCP-2244-2 subjects began to 
cover the building in tarps, and brought construction equipment and 
vehicles on-site to mask the sudden change. 


Following this event, a group of SCP-2244-2 subjects approached 
on-site personnel and offered assurances that SCP-2244-1 was in 
no way dangerous nor an exposure risk, and that the decision to 
change was "out of [their] hands". They refused to elaborate further, 
although one subject made the off-hand remark, "[People] up top 
say they want the shiny fast new upgrade, not caring that it would be 
too sudden, then complain that the shiny fast new upgrade is too 
sudden all at once." 


Addendum: An attempt to infiltrate SCP-2244-1 was made by an 
agent on 1/ /2015 wearing a concealed audio transmitting device in 
coordination with three more agents on-site and Site Administrator 

. The agent described encountering SCP-2244-2 subjects 
standing motionless in each room, unaware of the agent's presence. 
The agent discovered several conscious subjects and managed to 
successfully transmit a sample of conversation between subjects 
prior to being discovered. The agent has yet to be recovered. 


Site Administrator refused to provide an explanation for this 
operation and subsequently submitted their resignation. They will be 
replaced by Administrator Li starting / /2015.

Subject-1: Yeah. 


Subject-2: [Indistinct] was started. She couldn't do 
anything else.

repeating this for the duration of the recording.] 


Subject-3: [Indistinct] 


Subject-1: Thirty years lost because they couldn't be 
assed to do 5-year backups. Like | said, we can't be 
giving them our people. What year do they have to start 
from? Like, 1984? 


Subject-2: [Indistinct] 


Subject-1: Glad I'm not them. [Indistinct] few decades. 


Subject-5: Does Partition C or D have people watching 
them all the time like we do? 


Subject-2: It's the same planet! 


Subject-5: That doesn't mean all the partitions are the 
same. 


Subject-2: Are you sure? | thought it — | don't know. 


[At this point, the agent is discovered and the 
transmission is severed]

SCP-2245: A Dream's Nightmare 


Item #: SCP-2245 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2245-1 is to be held ina 
standard biological containment cell at Site 66. SCP-2245-1's cage 
should be cleaned of hair and any waste matter twice weekly. 
SCP-2245-1 should be provided with fresh water daily. Enrichment 
items (e.g. colorful balls, rings) are to be placed in SCP-2245-1's cell 
to promote activity and alleviate boredom. SCP-2245-1 is to be 
inspected by Foundation veterinarians twice a month. 


A minimum of one cot is to be ready to be placed in SCP-2245-1's 
cell nightly. Once per night, a minimum of one D-Class personnel 
must sleep in the containment chamber. If it is deemed that 
SCP-2245-1 requires a larger feeding, the number of D-Class used 
may be increased at the overseeing Researcher's discretion. D- 
Class may be informed of SCP-2245's beneficial effects in order to 
promote cooperation. No subjects may sleep within 7 meters of 
SCP-2245-1 after having been exposed to an anomaly connected to 
REM sleep, sleep patterns, sleep phases, or dreams due to the 
possibility of cross-contamination. 


Description: SCP-2245-1 is a 2 meter long quadrupedal mammal 
with dark brown hair. SCP-2245-1 possesses several traits found in 
other animals, including a prehensile trunk, tusks, retractable claws 
on front and rear limbs, large, circular ears, and a long, thin tail with 
hair at the end. SCP-2245-1's esophagus and digestive system do 
not seem to be equipped for the consumption of most conventional 
foods, with water being the only dietary item consumed by 
SCP-2245-1. 


Despite not displaying sapient qualities, SCP-2245-1 is highly 
intelligent, scoring an ~65/73 on the QPSI scale’. The entity has 
predominantly demonstrated positive and playful reactions towards 


researchers when unprovoked. Entity displays protective behavior 
towards sleeping humans, with the effect being more pronounced for 
children under the age of thirteen. 


SCP-2245-1's anomalous effects manifest when a human subject 
enters REM sleep while within approximately 5 meters of 
SCP-2245-1. Rather than enter REM sleep, the subject will enter a 
previously undiscovered phase of sleep (SCP-2245-2). While in 
SCP-2245-2, a subject will experience a lack of any form of dreams. 
After awakening, subjects have reported feeling extremely well 
rested, even more so than after experiencing conventional REM 
sleep. Long-term continued exposure to SCP-2245-2 has shown to 
cause a slight decrease in the long-term memory ability, problem 
solving ability, and mental acuteness of subjects. Subjects afflicted 
with sleep deprivation and recurring nightmares have shown a 
99.7% decrease in symptoms after exposure to SCP-2245-2. 


While a human subject is experiencing SCP-2245-2, SCP-2245-1 
activates a second anomaly. While the process is not fully 
understood, SCP-2245-1 begins a process similar to digestion. The 
process seems to be linked to the human brainwaves formed in 
SCP-2245-2 and causes the materialization of standard nutrients 
and waste products in the entity's digestive track. 


Addendum 1: Long Term Effects of SCP-2245 Exposure 
TestA- // 


Subject: D-4356 

Procedure: D-4356 will spend six nights of the week 
experiencing SCP-2245-2, with the seventh night serving 
to study the effects that prolonged use of SCP-2245-2 
has on sleep patterns. Site rotation of D-4356 is to be 
suspended during testing. 

Results: 


¢ Days 1-6: Standard SCP-2245 effects. 

¢ Day 7: D-4356 reported that all dreams 
experienced contained a prominent character or 
characters showing signs of unease or agitation. 

* Days 8-13: Standard SCP-2245 effects. 

¢ Day 14: D-4356 claims that all entities in his 


dreams showed signs of intense fear or anger. 
D-4356 claims to have been confronted by several 
of these entities, all of whom accused him of aiding 
a "beast" or "monster". 

¢ Days 15-20: SCP-2245 generates a larger than 
regular amount of nutrients during its "feedings". 

¢ Day 21: D-4356 shows signs of agitation and asks 
to be exposed to SCP-2245 that night. Request 
denied. D-4356 claims to have experienced only 
disturbing dreams. D-4356 also claims to have 
been repeatedly assaulted by in-dream entities. 

¢ Days 22-27: SCP-2245 generates a larger than 
regular amount of nutrients during its "feedings". 

* Day 28: D-4356 shows signs of severe distress, 
repeatedly requesting to be exposed to SCP-2245. 
Requests denied. D-4356 remains awake through 
the night. 

¢ Day 29: D-4356 tranquilized for nine hours. After 
waking up, D-4356 refused to cooperate with 
researchers or carry out experimental procedures. 

¢ Day 30: D-4356 tranquilized for nine hours. After 
waking up, D-4356 still refused to cooperate with 
researchers or carry out experimental procedures. 
Experiment aborted. D-4356 scheduled for 
termination. 


Addendum 2: On //_ , all security cameras in SCP-2245-1's 
containment cell simultaneously experienced power failure. Upon 
entry into the containment chamber, security personnel discovered 
SCP-2245-1 unconscious and D-34515, who was being exposed to 
SCP-2245-2 at the time, dead. Later veterinary examination 
revealed minor bruising and lacerations in SCP-2245-1's mouth and 
throat. Medical examination revealed that D-34515 expired due to 
the rupture of several blood vessels in the brain. The following note 
was found on the floor of SCP-2245-1's containment cell, and is 
addressed to Senior Researcher , head of SCP-2245 
experimentation. 


Ma'am ; 


We wish to bring to your attention a hazard which is 
interfering with our continued business relations. Over 
the past several years, hazardous obstacles have 
prevented the delivery of our products to certain 
customers in areas under your jurisdiction. In the past, 
our shipment managers were able to circumvent this 
problem through the redirection of shipments. 


Recently, however, the number of customers who can 
not be reached due to these hazardous materials has 
increased, along with the frequency of obstructions. 
Attempts to reach customers has resulted in damage to 
Oneiroi Collective employees and property. If your 
organization elects not to move or destroy the hazardous 
materials in question, we will be forced to suspend 
shipments and take legal action. Charges that may be 
levied against you include: 


* Loss of life 

¢ Loss of property 

* Causing emotional distress 

¢ Damaging property 

¢ Improper storage of harmful substances or entities 
* Interfering with business transactions 

¢ Obstruction of traffic 


We have sent you this warning in advance in an attempt 
to improve business relations before more drastic 
measures are required. 


Sincerely, 
Oswald Dust 
Oneiroi Collective Entity Resources 


SCP-2245 experimentation has been halted until further notice.

SCP-2246: You Set the Scene 


Item #: SCP-2246 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2246 are kept in Site-17's 
anomalous text catalog. It is to be checked once a day for any 
changes in length or number of volumes. Weekly psychiatric 
interviews are scheduled with SCP-2246-1 to monitor its mental 
health. 


Description: SCP-2246 refers to any volumes! written by 
SCP-2246-1 under the pen-name Phoenix Snow. New text 
manifests in the current unfinished volume, as though manually 
typewritten, at an infrequent and inconsistent rate. A new unfinished 
volume will manifest with the other volumes when the current 
volume reaches a conclusion (typically between 10 and 900 pages). 
All volumes contain little in the way of a linear, coherent narrative, 
instead being written via stream-of-consciousness. 


When a page is held open for more than five seconds, the text of the 
page will be read aloud in SCP-2246-1's disembodied voice. Its tone 
when reading is subdued and nervous. This effect is less common in 
volumes produced by SCP-2246-1 after its initial containment, with 
some volumes lacking this effect entirely. 


The final page of SCP-2246 instances contains an opening which 
subjects can pass through to enter the space where SCP-2246-1 
resides. lf this space is accessed from finished volumes, it will 
display a scene from the story. If it is accessed from the current 
unfinished volume, it will be featureless except for a desk upon 
which a typewriter and several sheaves of paper can be found. 


SCP-2246-1 is a Hispanic humanoid who claims to have originated 
from Brazil, as well as having been around 20 years old. 
SCP-2246-1 displays no need for sustenance or bodily functions. If 


SCP-2246-1 is encountered in a finished volume, it will not 
acknowledge any subjects in the area, and will continue to perform 
its current actions without speaking. Communication is only possible 
via latest instances of SCP-2246. SCP-2246-1 can not leave 
SCP-2246 for unknown reasons; research into this is ongoing. 


Interview 2246-E Transcript: 
Interviewed: SCP-2246-1 
Interviewer: Junior Psychologist Blake Yamagusuku 


Foreword: Interview takes place in Volume 50, "A 
Retelling of Nicolas Terrance's Egregious Adventures". 


<Begin Log, 16:01> 


Psychologist Yamagusuku: Afternoon, Phoenix. How 
goes the writing process? 


SCP-2246-1: Stale, stale, stale, stale. I've been staring 
at the wall for... [SCP-2246-1 hums for a minute, staring 
at the typewriter.] Last time we spoke. | don't have any 
inspiration to write. | don't know. Where does this go? 


Yamagusuku: What do you think the story will be? 
SCP-2246-1: I'm not good with stories. 


Yamagusuku: Then... images. What images come to 
mind? 


SCP-2246-1: Cars driving sideways up the floor. Kids 
climbing into cafés after-school and trading comics like 
currency. My partner gets into bed with me, and | can 
feel their hand massage my back, while | lay there still 
trying to write. Nicolas is there too, crooning about his 
jealousy of my success. Success... 


Yamagusuku: A partner? What was their name? 


SCP-2246-1: No, | didn't have one. A friend though, | 


had a friend. My partner is modeled after him and the 
character in his books. Avery was his name. Both their 
names. He was very close to me, and very kind. Avery 
was also unsure about his writing, but he helped me 
sometimes. | guess he was my inspiration a lot. He's the 
protagonist in Volume 133. 


[SCP-2246-1 pauses for four seconds before sitting 
upright and typing for the next six minutes. Immediately 
after finishing, SCP-2246-1 gets up, walking small circles 
near the desk.] 


SCP-2246-1: It must have been at least thirty volumes 
since | wrote so self-assuredly... | can't think of what to 
write next. 


Yamagusuku: Do you think changing styles would help? 
SCP-2246-1: Devil you know, devil you know. 


Yamagusuku: Well... might be a silly idea, but how 
about this. Whenever | can't think of anything to write, | 
just try to think of weird situations for my characters to be 
in. Something that could never be plausible. See where 
that takes me after. 


SCP-2246-1: | don't understand? 


Yamagusuku: "Nick woke up from last night's escapade, 
confused about his immediate surroundings. Why was 
the roof gone and the sky brown? It made no sense." 


[SCP-2246-1 stops pacing, turning their attention to 
Yamagusuku and sitting down in the chair.] 


Yamagusuku: "He rolled out of bed, into the ocean, and 
found a nearby building floating in the sea. With no other 
options around, he decided to swim for it, looking for 
answers. Finally, he got to the door, opened it, and 
crawled in." 


SCP-2246-1: And? [SCP-2246-1 leans in.]

Yamagusuku: "And as Nick entered the building, 
scouring for supplies to support himself, he came across 
his greatest fear, one that has haunted his nightmares 
for weeks on end..." [Yamagusuku jumps up and waves 
their arms.]"A spooky robot!" 


[Silence for eight seconds. SCP-2246-1 snorts, laughing. 
Yamagusuku sits back down, also laughing, before both 
fully stop 14 seconds later.] 


Yamagusuku: That might have been the first time you 
smiled since | started interviewing you. 


SCP-2246-1: It was maybe the first original idea had 
here. Not sure it'll fit my style or narrative, though. 


Yamagusuku: You don't think you could even adapt that 
to how you write? 


SCP-2246-1: Devil you know. [SCP-2246-1 turns back to 
the typewriter, staring at it.] Nicolas gets up, walking 
along clouds of water. He finds himself stuck between 
places, unsure of where to go. He's still jealous of the 
cars and the kids and my partner and I, but he never 
thinks about why he's jealous. He doesn't have a reason 
to be jealous. 


Yamagusuku: Why do you think he's jealous? 


SCP-2246-1: I'm not sure. | feel like it should be the 
other way around. 


Yamagusuku: Is he jealous of Avery? 


SCP-2246-1: No. He wouldn't know him. Even in my 
imagination, they've never been able to meet each other 
before. [Silence for 8 seconds.] If | finish this story, can 
you please not read it? 


Yamagusuku: Sorry, Phoenix. | need to read these. It 
helps me understand you better and makes these 
interviews easier.

SCP-2246-1 continues typing for the rest of the session

Interview 2246-AQ Transcript: 
Interviewed: SCP-2246-1 
Interviewer: Junior Psychologist Blake Yamagusuku 


Foreword: Interview takes place in Volume 51, "Phoenix 
and the Fox in the Snow’. 


<Begin Log, 16:01> 


[Silence for 18 minutes from both parties. SCP-2246-1 
hums and taps their foot. Yamagusuku takes notes.] 


SCP-2246-1: | can't think anymore. 


Psychologist Yamagusuku: Hmm? Why do you say 
that? 


SCP-2246-1: I've had nothing to say to you the past five 
times you've been here, and nothing to write since before 
that. No images are coming to me anymore. The faucets 
in my head have stopped. Writing was a hard interest of 
mine to invest in before, and now. I'm not sure if | have 
any more to give. 


Yamagusuku: That was a nice image you gave right 
there, wasn't it? 


SCP-2246-1: Metaphors aren't images. 
Yamagusuku: Hmm. 
[Silence for another two minutes. ] 


Yamagusuku: What do you plan to do then, if you can't 


write more? 


SCP-2246-1: Dream, if | can. | regret writing. It was 
probably a mistake to be invested. Maybe | can still 
dream. | wish | could sleep. [SCP-2246-1 gets up and 
paces around the desk, biting their fingernails.] 


Yamagusuku: | imagine lying down and closing your 
eyes does nothing for you. 


SCP-2246-1: Nothing. [Silence for 20 seconds.] | wish | 
knew what I'm working towards. It makes me feel 
nervous too. 


Yamagusuku: Nervous how? 


SCP-2246-1: How many stories do | need to write before 
| feel good about myself? | don't want to work forever to 
no end. And the fact that so many eyes are on me... | felt 
better when only my friend and | could read my writing. It 
was more personal and intimate. This doesn't feel 
personal and intimate... | can feel the eyes on my works. 
It's like making eye contact. There's no personal space 
anymore. 


Yamagusuku: Is this why you don't read your stories 
anymore? 


SCP-2246-1: Before when it was almost no one else, | 
felt more sure about it. But now there are these strangers 
watching. How else am | supposed to feel about that? 


[Silence for two minutes. SCP-2246-1 types one word 
before stopping, lying their head on the desk and 
humming softly for thirty-two seconds. ] 


SCP-2246-1: It doesn't matter too much what people 
think of my stories, right? I'm just writing for myself now. 
So | can write whatever | want... that's what | should be 
saying, isn't it. 


Yamagusuku: How did the reading help you before? It 


sounds like it was really personal, whoever was originally 
hearing you read. 


[Silence for one minute. SCP-2246-1 raises head, staring 
at the desk.] 


Yamagusuku: You don't need to keep reading your 
work, whether out of habit or will. It might be easier to 
keep writing and find joy in it again if you stop having that 
expectation. There's no need to do it just because you 
feel like you need to. 


SCP-2246-1: Then who should | be doing this for? | don't 
understand. 


Yamagusuku: For Avery? 


SCP-2246-1: No. He would be disappointed with where | 
am now, | think. 


Yamagusuku: Then for yourself. And if you can't write 
for yourself, then you could try to write for no one. It 
might be more helpful than it sounds. 


SCP-2246-1: Hmm. [SCP-2246-1 sits up with a less 
tense posture, staring at the typewriter. ] 


Yamagusuku: I'd recommend trying that out for a little 
bit and see how it feels for you. There's no need to dive 
head-first into anything new, alright? 


SCP-2246-1: Okay.

SCP-2247: "What did I go through to seek a new 
employer?" 


Item #: SCP-2247 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2247 is to be held ata 
modified humanoid containment cell at Site-17, with soundproof 
walls. While outside its cell, SCP-2247 is to be muzzled. Personnel 
handling SCP-2247 are to don sound-cancelling headphones, and 
(preferably) have limited to no comprehension of the Spanish 
language. 


Interviews with SCP-2247 are to be conducted via Spanish speaking 
D-class personnel as intermediaries. Audio recordings of interviews 
involving SCP-2247 may only be accessed by personnel with Level 
1-4/2247 security clearance. Pursuant to the Astrakhan Protocol, O5 
Council members are denied access to audio recordings of 
SCP-2247's vocalisations. Instead, they are allowed access to 
transcripts of those vocalisations. 


Description: SCP-2247 is a male adult human with light skin. 
Height and mass are 1.83 m and 75 kg respectively. SCP-2247 is 
capable of speech in Spanish, but it is unable to comprehend written 
Spanish. MRI scans indicate no damage to its Broca's area. A 
barcode-shaped birthmark is imprinted on SCP-2247's left thigh, 
corresponding to a serial number for products manufactured by 
Abbott Laboratories. 


SCP-2247's physiology is comparable with a non-anomalous 
human. When SCP-2247's extracted biological matter is displaced 
from it for at least three minutes continuously, they will undergo 
transmutation into the following substances with masses equal to 
the matter originally extracted. 


Biological Matter Transmuted Substance 


Hair and skin extracted from the’ Polypropylene 
head 

Hair, nail and skin extracted from Polyethylene 
the body, neck or limbs 


Body fluids and sub-dermal Solution consisting of a mixture of 
tissues (e.g. muscle) sodium thiopental and sodium 
carbonate 


Notably, the volume of the transmuted solution is consistently lesser 
if the sample of body fluids is extracted from SCP-2247's head than 
from the rest of its body. Reverse-transmutation does not occur 
when transmuted substances are reintroduced to SCP-2247. 


SCP-2247's verbal communication is restricted to interrogative 
sentences. To the Foundation's knowledge, it has not yet been 
observed to vocalise non-interrogative sentences. Individuals who 
have perceived and comprehended SCP-2247's vocalisations 
(hereon referred to as 'subjects') become susceptible to SCP-2247's 
interrogative statements, responding according to respective 
subjects’ factual knowledge and/or sincere opinion on the given 
topic. 


SCP-2247 was recovered outside the Biblioteca Nacional in Buenos 
Aires on / /1985, where it was sighted enquiring civilians for 
directions to any nearby Foundation facilities. Responding to the 
supposed security breach, Mobile Task Force Alpha-7 ("Security 
Blanket") was dispatched to capture SCP-2247. 


SCP-2247 surrendered to MTF A-7 without incident after it used its 
anomalous properties to discern their affiliation with the Foundation. 
It was subsequently classified as SCP-2247 when medical 
examinations detected its anomalous features. SCP-2247 was 
dismissed as an escaped mental ward patient on local media 
channels. 


Addendum 2247-1: Records recovered from Argentine authorities 
indicate that a person with identical physical and anomalous 
features with those of SCP-2247 was incarcerated from 1978 to 
1982. It was charged with intrusion into a chemical storage room at 
the Higher School of Mechanics of the Navy (ESMA)! in Buenos 
Aires. The means in which it entered ESMA were unknown. 


Inventory checks conducted after SCP-2247's arrest identified one 
500 mg vial of sodium thiopental-sodium carbonate solution as 
missing; whereabouts remain unknown. 


During its incarceration, SCP-2247 is known to have assisted in the 
extraction of confessions from prisoners held at ESMA. SCP-2247 
vanished on / /1982 while in its cell, escorted by two unidentified 
intruders. 


Addendum 2247-2: Selection of interviews involving SCP-2247 
+ View Interview Log 2247-1 
Interviewee: SCP-2247 
Interviewer: Agent Pedro de Souza 


Foreword: Interview aims to identify 
SCP-2247 and its intents, and is originally 
conducted in Spanish. As its anomalous 
properties were not yet understood, a non-D- 
class personnel served as interviewer. 


<Begin Log> 


Agent de Souza: For our records, start by 
giving us your name? 


SCP-2247: May you give me your name and 
position, instead? 


Agent de Souza: Pedro de Souza. Agent of 
Mobile Task For- 


[Agent de Souza exits the room. SCP-2247 
looks around the interrogation chamber.] 


SCP-2247: So Jailors, do you like this 
demonstration? Do | pass the audition? Where 
are you guys watching this from? 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Interview aborted due to 
possibility of breach of sensitive information. 
Due to SCP-2247's anomalous effect, it is 
suggested that only D-class personnel are 
allowed interaction with it to minimise breach 
of sensitive information. SCP-2247's speech 
appears to be limited to interrogative 
sentences. It is to be determined if this is of its 
will or involuntary in nature. SCP-2247 
appears to believe itself to be a prospective 
employee of the Foundation.

Interviewee: SCP-2247 
Interviewer: D-2214 


Foreword: First interview with SCP-2247 
conducted via D-class personnel. D-2214 was 
chosen due to his prior role as an interrogator 
for . Interviewer was briefed on 
SCP-2247's anomalous effects prior to 
Interview. Interview aims to identify safe 
means of interaction with SCP-2247, and is 
originally conducted in Spanish. 


<Begin Log> 

D-2214: Hello there. Are you 2247? 
SCP-2247: Is that what you're calling me? 
D-2214: Yes. That's what the agents gave me. 


SCP-2247: Did the agents like the audition? 
Am | hired? 


D-2214: | was not told of any audition, or if you 
are hired for anything. [pauses] But please, 
don't speak out of turn. I'm here to know more 
about you. 


SCP-2247: Why are you people so dismissive 
of new blood, just like the Process? 


D-2214: | don't know about the Process, but to 
the people here, you are more of a test subject 
than worker. 


SCP-2247: What is the job scope of a test 
subject? 


D-2214: You stay about and let them do their 
work on you. 


SCP-2247: [frowns] Do you think that is better 
than being liberated intoa boring library 
by some self-righteous boludos? And speaking 
of those boludos, can serpents even have 
hands? Or what kind of a wanderer owns a 
library? 


D-2214: Personally, | think freedom is best no 
matter what; prison sucks. And biologically 
speaking, serpents do not have hands. And 
perhaps a wanderer who wants a place to be 
based at? 


SCP-2247: Would freedom suck if one has 
nothing to do at all? Would it be best for one to 
stick to that job one can finally do? 


D-2214: Yeah, that also sucks. And if you like 
your job, of course. [pauses] Anyway, can you 
tell me more about this boring library? Was 
your time there enjoyable? Just nod your head 
if it was, and shake if it was not. 


[SCP-2247 shakes its head.] 


D-2214: Okay, you can tell why was it not 
enjoyable, but | need you to be as detailed as 
possible. The more detailed your question, the

SCP-2247: What is the point of libraries and 
books when | can't read a single thing? 


D-2214: There's no point being there if you 
can't read. [pauses] Not bad for a first, but

[SCP-2247 nods its head.] 


D-2214: So you decided that library was not 
worth it. Why come for the Jailors? 


SCP-2247: Why are the Jailors so popular of a 
topic among those spoken by the people of the 
library? 


D-2214: In general, jailors are always a topic 
to people who have histories with them. 
[pauses] Okay, so you wanted to return to do 
your thing again? Nod if yes. Shake if no. 


[SCP-2247 nods its head.] 


D-2214: And you see the Foundation as a 
suitable continuation of your work with the 
Process. 


SCP-2247: How are the Process and 
Foundation different from each other? 


D-2214: Not really, in my opinion. [pauses; 
signal sent to notify D-2214 to conclude 
interview] Okay, | think we are done for today. 
Please do not speak another word. You have 


done well for today. 
<End Log> 


Closing Statement: It is advisable for 
interviewers to use polar questions when 
enquiring information from SCP-2247. 
SCP-2247 should be encouraged to be 
detailed in its utterances. In addition, it is 
possible for a listener to express ignorance to 
SCP-2247's enquiries.

SCP-2248: The Temple of Luna Primogenita 


Item #: SCP-2248 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to its fixed location, 
Reliquary and Bio-Research Site-369 is to be established around 
SCP-2248. Site-369 is to be publicly recognised as a Croatian naval 
base. 


Two surveillance cameras are to be mounted in SCP-2248's central 
chamber to monitor SCP-2248-A. Research personnel are not 
permitted to enter SCP-2248's central chamber; remote observation 
via surveillance camera is permitted. Direct visual contact with 
SCP-2248-A is to be conducted by D-class personnel. Personnel 
affected by SCP-2248-A are to be held at windowless E-class 
holding cells at Site-369 and undergo fortnightly medical 
examinations. 


Description: SCP-2248 is a shrine with an area of approximately 
80 m2 located on the shore of the uninhabited island of __, Croatia 
in the Adriatic Sea. Its architecture resembles that of the Ancient 
Roman templum. Radiocarbon dating of samples indicates that 
SCP-2248 was constructed circa 200 — 260 CE. Inscriptions in Latin 
and Koine Greek are found in SCP-2248, most of which reference 
an entity called "Luna Primogenita". 


When initially discovered, the plant species Amaranthus blitum 
(purple amaranth) and Cupressus sempervirens (Mediterranean 
cypress) were found in SCP-2248. Despite SCP-2248 possessing 
suitable conditions for plant growth, seeds from at least 20 other 
species were found ungerminated.! These seeds were determined 
to belong to species outside of the genus Amaranthus and 
Cupressus. Radiocarbon dating indicated that the oldest seeds 
present are dated to circa 200 — 260 CE. 


This suggests that only plants of the genus Amaranthus and 
Cupressus are capable of growing inside SCP-2248, as verified 
through further experiments. Seeds from other species of plants are 
unable to germinate, while other plant species that have been 
replanted into SCP-2248 show no signs of growth and will gradually 
wither. Notably, plants under the genus Myrtus and Laurus and their 
seeds will undergo spontaneous combustion within 24 hours of 
being placed in SCP-2248. 


SCP-2248-A is an approximately two-metre tall statue of the Roman 
deity Diana, constructed from marble with traces of silver. It is 
affixed onto an altar inside SCP-2248's central chamber. When an 
individual (hereon referred to as 'subjects') directly observes 
SCP-2248-A, their sensory perceptions of the Moon and Sun are 
altered. 


Subjects are able to see under low light conditions when the Moon is 
visible in the night sky, and are susceptible to retinopathy through 
direct observation of the Moon. In addition, erythema is common 
among subjects who have prolonged exposure to moonlight. 


In contrast, subjects experience visual impairment on nights with a 
new moon, during daytime or during a lunar eclipse. They are also 
capable of viewing the Sun directly without detriment, claiming that 
the Sun is perpetually in a solar eclipse. In addition, they do not 
suffer from erythema or other symptoms of sunburn despite 
prolonged exposure to sunlight. 


SCP-2248 was initially discovered on / /1967 by two Yugoslavian 
fishermen, who were exposed to SCP-2248-A. These individuals 
have since suffered sunburn and retinal damage due to prolonged 
exposure to moonlight. Foundation agents attached to the 
Yugoslavian government were alerted to the incident, and 
SCP-2248 was traced as the origin of the anomaly. The two 
fishermen were provisionally granted E-class status, pending a 
possible treatment to the cognitohazard. 


Addendum 2248-1: Foundation archaeologists have reconstructed 
several statues of the Greco-Roman deity Apollo from broken 
fragments recovered from the central chamber of SCP-2248. The 
presence of hammers and other blunt tools seems to suggest 


deliberate attempts to damage said statues. 


Text recovered from the temple consists primarily of hymns written 
in praise of Diana while denouncing Christianity, the cults of Apollo 
and Sol Invictus. Below are several examples of such text, 
translated into English. 


From Latona is Diana borne first 

And then followed by Apollo. 

Likewise, the Sol Invictus of Aurelian is false 
For Luna Primogenita conquers the sun. 


Like the moon consumed by dawn, 

We — her followers — will be devoured by the legions' 
sword. 

But so long Luna Primogenita's sanctuary stands firm, 
The moon and her followers shall always return.

SCP-2249: The Failed Dreamland 


Item #: SCP-2249 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: An exclusion zone with a 10 km 
radius (Referred to as the "Green Zone" from 10 km to 7 km) must 
be maintained at all times around SCP-2249. Signs warning of 
extreme radiation contamination along the border of the excursion 
zone work to deter entry by civilians, however MTF Sigma-19 ("Park 
Rangers") is stationed at Outpost 16-2249 and polices the borders. 
Within 10 km and 7 km of the radius, any entrant may be removed 
without repercussion beyond a mandatory viewing of a safety video 
on the dangers of radiation. 


At 6 km from SCP-2249, a 3.5 m reinforced concrete wall topped 
with barbed wire blocks further entry into the exclusion zone (from 
this point on referred to as the "Red Zone"), the only entrance within 
being Outpost 16-2249. Travel within the Red Zone is only allowed 
with the use of specially designed vehicles to block radiation, as well 
as standard personal radiation protection equipment and ear 
protection. A guide from MTF Sigma-19 must accompany any 
research parties entering the Red Zone and SCP-2249. Multiple 
routes leading to SCP-2249 must be kept clear to allow for 
maximum viewing distance. 


Within SCP-2249, radiation protection equipment must be worn at all 
times, while ear protection is safe to remove within SCP-2249-1. 
Deviation from the pathway leading to and from SCP-2249-1 is to be 
avoided; in the event the pathway is blocked while trying to leave 
SCP-2249-1, personnel are advised to clear or scale the obstruction 
before any attempts to go around are made. 


Description: SCP-2249 is an extra-dimensional space 
approximately 4 km? in size, located inside the 's Hospital in 
the former town of __, Russia. The area within SCP-2249 


resembles an old-growth pine forest, with plant life exhibiting signs 
of extreme malnourishment and light deprivation’. A dim grey "sun" 
is always stationary within SCP-2249's sky at a 12 pm position, 
providing a dull light. Space within SCP-2249 is looped internally; 
any subjects approaching SCP-2249's border will find themselves 
on the opposite border, with no signs of transition. 


Entrance to SCP-2249 is through an elevator on the first floor of the 
hospital, in which is a single Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) on 
a bed of grass (Poaceea festuca). Pressing the button labeled with a 
small tree icon will take the elevator to the third floor, where it will 
open empty. Anyone inside the elevator is taken into SCP-2249. The 
elevator functions normally when used to travel to other floors, 
including the third. 


Travel within SCP-2249 is extremely dangerous due to instances of 
SCP-2249-2 both above and underground? as well as a near 
complete saturation of gamma radiation throughout SCP-2249. 
Mapping the area within SCP-2249 has proven impossible, as most 
electronics cease to function due to high levels of radiation. The 
exception to this is a 1.2 km long pathway leading from the elevator 
entrance to SCP-2249-1. 


From the pathway to SCP-2249-1, multiple constructions can be 
seen, most suffering from heavy structural damage and general 
wear. Some of the constructs have been identified as a nursing 
station, a cafeteria, and a storage center. Also identified are two 
large sporting fields, a playground, and an empty swimming pool. 


SCP-2249-1 is the residence of Dr. Delroy , the apparent 
creator of SCP-2249, whose body was found within. Most of the 
space within SCP-2249-1 is filled with working machinery, notes 
belonging to Dr. , and various scrap metal and wiring. Study of 
these notes has revealed that the machinery is intended to stabilize 
space-time within a certain area, granting protection from the 
instability the rest of SCP-2249 suffers from as well as blocking 
dangerous radiation. This device is functional, as evidenced by the 
stability of SCP-2249-1, the surrounding area‘, and the path exiting 
SCP-2249. Research is focused on replicating this device or 
increasing it's area of effect in order to stabilize the entirety of 
SCP-2249. 


SCP-2249-2 is the designation given to multiple anomalies within 
SCP-2249, ranging in size from 11 cm to 1.67 m in diameter. 
SCP-2249-2 emit lethal doses of gamma radiation and exhibit a 
strong gravitational pull in their vicinity. Some instances exist 
simultaneously within SCP-2249 and the surrounding Red Zone, 
allowing energy to pass through unchanged. Matter that is pulled 
into an SCP-2249-2 from the Red Zone is deposited into SCP-2249 
highly compressed, while matter pulled from within SCP-2249 never 
emerges. Instances of SCP-2249-2 that do not exist in the Red Zone 
as well appear visually as a black void, with neither light nor matter 
emerging again after entering. 


SCP-2249-2 can be mobile, moving at a maximum observed rate of 
0.63 kph in random directions. SCP-2249-2 also accompanied by 
what has been described as a loud "roaring" noise, peaking at 

152 dB. To date, there are a total of 457 confirmed instances of 
SCP-2249: 163 mobile instances, 294 stationary, of which 236 exist 
in both SCP-2249 and the Red Zone. SCP-2249-2 have 
manifested during the Foundation's containment of SCP-2249. 


Addendum 2249-01: 


A laptop belonging to the late Dr. was discovered near his 
remains. Upon charging and minor repairs, a file labeled "Journal" 
was discovered, in which were multiple video messages recorded by 
Dr. detailing his experiences before the creation of SCP-2249 
leading up to his death. Due to minor radiation damage, many files 
have been corrupted or damaged beyond repair. Remaining video 
transcripts relevant to research of SCP-2249 are available below. 


+Access Journal Entries 


Entry 1 
File name: "NewBeginning.mp4" 
Date Recorded:1 1/03/20 


Entry begins, showing Dr. , smiling 
elateadly and looking into the laptop's camera. 
Subject is a Caucasian male 26-30 years old, 
dressed casually and wearing glasses. Subject 
speaks in American English. The scene behind 


him appears to be a modest study, presumably 
within the subject's home before the creation 
of SCP-2249. A closed window provides no 
view of the surrounding area. 


Dr. : "Ah, there we go. Well, hello 
whoever is watching this! My name, of course, 
is Delroy , though if you're watching my 
personal journal entries then you probably 
know that. I've decided to document my life 
from this point on, | figure it might help me to 
organize my thoughts in some manner. And 
maybe I'll watch these one day when I'm an 
old fart and laugh at myself, who knows. Well, 
the main reason I'm doing one of these today 
is, drum-roll please," 


Subject reaches off screen, his face leaving 
the camera's view for a few seconds, before 
returning. Grinning widely, Subject holds an 
identification card bearing his picture up to the 
camera. The words "Dr. , Pediatric 
Oncology" are written in plain black text, and 
appears to be from 'S Hospital. 


Dr. : "This right here is what I'm so excited 
about." /D is removed from camera's view. 
"The hospital here accepted my application, 
and I'm starting tomorrow! I've moved into my 
new place as well, it seems nice, and the 
neighbors came over to say hello earlier. We 
didn't have any trouble understanding one 
another, my Russian is apparently up to snuff." 
Rest of entry deemed irrelevant to research.

Subject stands up and walks over to a drawer 
in his study, and pours a glass of alcohol. 
Subject returns to the seat in front of the 
computer and takes a long drink before 
continuing. 


Dr. "| can't quit, | just have to stay and try 
to make things better. Or, something. | hate to 
see kids like that, it's not right. Alright. I'll talk 
to the boss tomorrow about maybe some 
enrichment programs. Maybe a garden or 
something? It's so grey out here." 


Entry 11 
File Name: "FortuitousMeeting.mp4" 
Date Recorded: 11/23/20 


Entry starts with Dr. returning from work 
and talking about his day. Some fragments 
were damaged, and most irrelevant, until the 4 
minute mark. 


Dr. :"-left, and | was alone again. Well, | 
thought | was, until | turned and saw this 
elderly gentlemans. kind of strolling down the 
hall, looking into some of the kids' rooms. | of 
course immediately approach him and ask if 


there's anything | can do for him, ready to call 
security. Well, he just smiles and shakes his 
head no, looking like he's about to say 
something, then pauses. He looks up like he's 
considering something, then smiles at me 
again. He had an interesting voice, deep and 
gravelly." 


Dr. : "Well, perhaps there is something 
you could help me with. Or rather, something | 
can help you with.' What's that supposed to 
mean, | think to myself. Well, he goes on to 
talk about his ideas to 'spruce up the place’, 
whatever that means. He asks me meet him, 
and well | was a little curious, so we're meeting 
on my next day off. Anyway, | had to go and-" 


Entry ends abruptly. 


Entry 20 
File Name: "ItsFinished.mp4" 
Date Recorded: 12/05/20 


Entry begins with shaky footage from a 
camera being carried by Dr. . A healthy 
forest, presumably SCP-2249, can be seen to 
either side. No signs of instability present. 
Sounds of children laughing, yelling, and 
talking can be heard in the distance. Subject 
stops, and the camera is lifted to point at a 
house, SCP-2249-1. 


Dr. : "Ta-da! My new home, as of today! 
Everything is finally finished! | can monitor 
everything from here and keep an eye on the 
kids. " 


The camera is turned to show Dr. 's face. 


Dr. "The kids are loving everything here. 
The other adults were a bit trepidatious at first, 


but they quickly got over their fear after they 
saw how much the kids were enjoying 
themselves." 


At this point video and audio are heavily 
distorted. Normal play resumed 32 seconds 
later. 


Dr. : "Who knew something like this could 
be so easy? | mean, all it was was math and 
some elbow grease, and maybe some help 
from Charles. But I've got notes on all of that, 
this is not the time! For now, | just wanted to 
show what I've made. I've never done anything 
this important, and | don't think | will ever 
again. It's strange, thinking you've peaked so 
early in your life. Well, | should get going. 
Lunch is soon, then we're having a soccer 
match. Farewell!" 


Entry 28 
File Name: "TheThing.mp4" 
Date Recorded: 01/22/20 


Most footage from this entry was badly 
damaged, with the exception of an 8 second 
long section. Shot from the study's window on 
the second floor of SCP-2249-1, it shows a 
small instance of SCP-2249-2 about 5 meters 
away. Dr. is silent throughout. 


Entry 40 
File Name: "Failure.mp4" 
Date Recorded: 02/28/20 


Entry begins, showing Dr. looking very 
distressed. General appearance is disheveled, 
and subject appears to be suffering from sleep 
deprivation. A dull roaring can be heard in the 
background. 


Dr. : "Well. They're evacuating the town 
because | couldn't finish the machine by the 
deadline they gave. Some military types 
apparently have been asking what's going on. 
I'm torn between hoping they find me and drag 
me away, or staying. How the hell is someone 
supposed to stop a sub-universe from 
destroying itself in 10 days? And no one can 
seem to find Charles. Why would he abandon 
the town and me like this?” 


Subject stands quickly and paces back and 
forth, hands on the back of his head. After a 
few moments, subject returns to his seat. 
Subject takes a deep breath, and appears to 
be trying to calm himself. 


Dr. : "At least now no one else will die. At 
least now, | can focus, no more distractions or 
worrying. | figure | can get this thing working in 
a week or so. I've got food to last a bit longer, 
and | can still get to the cafeteria for water. | 
think | should grab some of that first... no, | 
need to get back to work. Who knows what will 
happen if this thing fails. Best case scenario, it 
simply disappears, with me in it. Worst case? | 
don't want to think about it.” 


Subject is silent for a few moments before 
ending the recording. 


Entry 41 

File Name: "04-30-20 -oAE2v.mp4" 

Date Recorded: 04/30/20 

Entry begins showing Dr. , who Is now 
extremely emaciated. His clothing is unkempt, 
and behind him multiple notes and blueprints 
cover the walls. The roaring heard in the 
previous video is much quieter now. Subject is 
unable to speak, presumably due to 
dehydration, and uses notes on paper to 


communicate. 


Dr. , Via note: "Got the machine working. 
Not feeling too great." 


Subject pauses to write something else. 


Dr. : "| set it extend a path to the elevator. 
I'm safe for now. Should take a day. Maybe 2? 
Don't know. Then | can leave." 


Again, subject writes something down. 


Dr. : "I can't save it. | failed." 

Subject puts down pencil and looks absently 
down at the floor. After a few minutes of 
silence, subject looks at the computer, then 
ends the recording. 


Incident report 04/28/20 .2249: Foundation operatives within the 
Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations (MCh S) were alerted to a 
possible anomaly in the town of after a significant rise in 
reported cases of radiation poisoning and rising casualties, as well 
as civilian reports of "holes in the air". MTF Theta 13 was dispatched 
to investigate. Interviews of residents did not immediately yield 
results; multiple persons were reported to say "he will fix it" or "just 
give him time”. It wasn't until the interrogation of one that 
the entrance of SCP-2249 was discovered on 05/01/20 , and on 
05/02/20 the path to SCP-2249-1 was discovered to be safe. 


Footnotes 

1. Flora within SCP-2249 exhibit none of the symptoms of extreme 
radiation exposure that would be expected. 

2. Tremors and earthquakes occasionally occur within SCP-2249; 
while it is unknown how deep SCP-2249 extends, whatever 
foundation it has is surely being destroyed at a rate similar to that of 
the surface. 

3. Autopsy revealed cause of death to be dehydration and 
starvation, as well as the development of stage 1 lymphoma. Date of 
death determined to be 04/30/20 

4. A cylindrical space with a radius of 3 meters, extending up and 


down for an unknown distance. 
5. Any information discovered about this man is to be immediately 
reported to Director Jerricks

SCP-2250: Duck Hunt 


Item #: SCP-2250 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: As no viable method for 
permanent containment of SCP-2250 has been found, efforts are to 
be made to keep susceptible species of waterfowl out of a 5 km 
radius centered on Bloch Park in Selma, AL. 


To this end, the Central Alabama Field Unit has been tasked with 
the elimination of these species from the designated no-fly zone, 
and a disinformation campaign has been effected, focusing on the 
threat of a lethal avian-born pathogen that is able to infect humans. 
This has so far been effective in allowing the Central Alabama Field 
Unit to operate without hindrance from government agencies or 
environmental groups. 


Civilians witnessing SCP-2250 in any form are to be detained and 
supplied with Class-B amnestics. Should these civilians have lost 
their dog to SCP-2250, they are to be supplied with a suitable 
replacement and led to believe it is the original. 


Any research with the goal of partially or fully deciphering the 
language or communication used by susceptible species of 
waterfowl is to be covertly disrupted in any way possible. 


Description: SCP-2250 is a memetic contagion currently 
exclusively affecting various species of waterfowl! in and around 
Bloch Park in Selma, AL. 


Tests to determine the vector of infection for this memetic contagion 
have yielded evidence that SCP-2250 is spread between waterfowl 
through inter-species communication and vocalization; those 
waterfowl prevented from vocalizing were unable to create new 
instances of SCP-2250, and those deafened showed no signs of 


infection. Once exposed to SCP-2250's memetic triggers, 
susceptible waterfowl will be subject to SCP-2250 activation events 
at intermittent times. 


The animals involved are not innately anomalous, but are subject to 
SCP-2250 activation events during which they should be treated as 
such. When an SCP-2250 activation event occurs, the affected 
animal becomes an SCP-2250-1 instance. It will cease movement, 
open its beak, and produce a series of sounds in the 25 - 32 kHz 
range. Canines within a range of up to 2 km show a general 
tendency to move towards the point of origin for these sounds, 
though not all canines act on this impulse. Those animals 
approaching affected waterfowl and entering a radius of 
approximately 2 m are prone to being trapped by SCP-2250-2. 


SCP-2250-2 are darkly colored tentacles with an average diameter 
of approximately 3 mm, and composed of a tissue with a genetic 
makeup bearing close resemblance to that of the Pacific lugworm 
(Abarenicola pacifica). These emerge from an SCP-2250-1 
specimen's beak once a canine approaches to within circa 2 m. 
SCP-2250-2 can typically reach beyond this range if necessary, with 
an as-of-yet undetermined upper limit. Having emerged, 
SCP-2250-2 instances will wrap around their prey and exert up to 
800 N of force in order to pull it towards SCP-2250-1. 


Once close enough, canines trapped by SCP-2250-2 are swallowed 
whole by SCP-2250-1. This usually occurs despite the clear 
discrepancy between the range of motion for SCP-2250-1's beak 
and the dimensions of the canine involved. Observations have not 
yielded a concrete explanation for this phenomenon, with video logs 
simply showing the canines disappearing into the beak whole, 
without apparently suffering damage to their physical form. All 
SCP-2250-2 then retract into SCP-2250-1, which will remain 
motionless and unreactive to any form of stimuli throughout the 
entire process. Despite this invasive process and the potential for 
extensive physical trauma, SCP-2250-1 instances are not harmed 
during this process. 


Once swallowed, prey does not travel down the esophagus, instead 
disappearing from SCP-2250-1 altogether. Attempts to track test 
subjects have almost exclusively yielded a location approximately 


6.2 km beneath the island of Moloka'i2. Attempts to reach this 
location have as of yet proven fruitless. 


In one incident, the location returned was in the Pelican Nebula. 
However, there is no conceivable way a GPS signal could be picked 
up from that location, nor should it have been able to travel back to 
earth within the timeframe given. 


If not fully destroyed, an SCP-2250-1 instance will remain 
motionless for a period of up to 2 hours, after which it will regurgitate 
the partially digested remains of the previously ingested canine. 
SCP-2250-1 will then revert to its non-anomalous state, showing 
signs of extreme distress and often trying to flee the immediate area. 
Remains of prey are covered in a high-viscosity fluid containing 
brine, digestive enzymes, mucus, glycoproteins and electrolytes. 


Tests using adult human subjects placed within range of an 
SCP-2250-1 during an activation event have not produced results. It 
is possible that these tests could provoke SCP-2250-2 emergence if 
performed using subjects of a smaller stature, but no such tests are 
currently planned.

Dispatcher: "Hello? Hello, ma'am?" 
Call terminated at 9:14 PM, 03-14-2013 


Police officers responding to the emergency call found a Ms. in 
a State of severe distress. Foundation field agents dispatched 
administered amnestics to both Ms. and the police officers 
involved. They also recovered partially digested remains of one 
adult Rottweiler. No teeth marks were visible. 


The duck involved was identified and subjected to a full physical 
examination. This yielded no significant result. 


Footnotes 

1. Species observed to be susceptible to SCP-2250 infection are the 
common merganser (Mergus merganser), ruddy duck (Oxyura 
jamaicensis), bufflehead (Bucephala albeola), mallard (Anas 
platyrhynchos) and the American wigeon (Anas americana). 

2. Whether a type of inter-dimensional portal, as observed 
inSCP-1763, or similar phenomena is responsible for apparent 
teleportation is currently under investigation.

This is original documentation. If you have difficulty reading 
the original documentation, please view the temporary 
document immediately following the original file. 


Item #: SCP-2251 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2251 is to be held ina 
containment vault on floor 13 of Site-88. Under no circumstances 
are video files associated with SCP-2251 to be copied to any non- 
air-gapped computers. 


Description: SCP-2251 is a digital video disc which contains an 
unproduced and unaired episode of the American situation comedy 
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. When played, the video image will 
appear to have its vertical and horizontal axes inverted. This effect 
persists regardless of the orientation of the viewer. Digital alteration 
of the video file has been unable to compensate for this apparent 
inversion!, 


Furthermore, any written descriptions of SCP-2251 are similarly 
inverted, though this inversion appears to be static (and is therefore 
reversible through orientation of the reader or device used to view 
written content relating to the object). 


Production information at the end of the episode indicates a 
production date of 1999, 3 years after the final episode of the series 
aired. This information includes an acting credit for Janet Hubert- 
Whitten (who does not appear in SCP-2251's video content) despite 
the fact that Janet Hubert-Whitten was replaced by Daphne Maxwell 
Reid in 1993. Several Foundation staff are also credited as 
producers, including Dr. Madison, Dr. Rosenthal, and Dr. Markowitz. 


Questioning of staff mentioned in these credits has produced no 


new information relating to the object. None of the three individuals 
appeared to possess knowledge of SCP-2251 prior to questioning. 
These staff members also display little capacity for the creation of 
such media. 


The video contained in SCP-2251 displays no variability. A scene 
fades in with the actors Will Smith and Alfonso Ribeiro sitting at what 
appears to be an outdoor cafe. After 1.3 seconds both actors and all 
loose items fall out of frame into the "sky". The camera continues to 
film the table, which is secured to the ground for 4.8 more seconds, 
during which a laugh track plays. 


There is an additional transition to a black screen which continues 
for approximately 63 seconds and during which a single tone plays. 
This is followed by a transition to a camera following both Will Smith 
and Alfonso Ribeiro falling into what appears to be open sky. Neither 
individual appears to be in distress, though all sounds are drowned 
out by wind. 


After approximately 4 minutes, both individuals appear to begin 
suffering from the effects of atmospheric hypoxia. Following another 
2 minutes of intensifying symptoms, both individuals appear to lose 
consciousness. 12 minutes and 46 seconds into the video, a single 
object (pictured above) falls in the opposite direction through the 
frame. 


After 22 minutes and 21 seconds have passed, the camera zooms 
into a close up of Will Smith, now suffering obvious symptoms 
associated with a low-pressure environment. He appears to regain 
consciousness, and the wind sound ceases. The actor states "Uncle 
Phil always told us not to get high," before the episode ends with an 
additional laugh track. Credits continue for another 57 seconds 
accompanied by the same tone as earlier. 


Experiment 01 

Subject: D-1934 

Experiment: Baseline viewing. No attempts to alter 
perception undertaken. 

Results: Regardless of physical orientation, subject was 
unable to correct inversion. 


Experiment 03 

Subject: Jennifer Chord 

Experiment: Subject suffers from a rare spatial 
orientation disorder, inverting all images subject 
perceives. Otherwise same as baseline viewing. 
Results: Subject was again unable to correct inversion. 
Subject appeared confused by effects, and was slightly 
agitated until amnestic administration. Continued 
monitoring of subject has revealed no additional 
information. 


Experiment 06 

Subject: D-1934 

Experiment: D-1934 viewed SCP-2251's video content 
through a pair of lenses which inverted all visible light. 
Otherwise same as baseline viewing. 

Results: Inversion remained uncorrected. Subject 
complains of neck pain following test. 


Experiment 14 

Subject: D-1934 

Experiment: A copy of SCP-2251's video content was 
altered to be compatible with 3d glasses. Subject was 
provided with 3d glasses. Otherwise same as baseline 
viewing. 

Results: D-1934 suffered a severe neck injury upon 
impact with ceiling. Appeared to be repulsed from the 
floor at a rate consistent with an inversion of gravitational 
attraction. Upon removal of glasses, subject was affected 
by gravity normally. Measures were taken to ensure no 
secondary injuries occurred. 

Notes: Testing temporarily suspended following Test 14. 
D-1934 is to be treated for injury and returned to the D- 
class population. Re-evaluation of object ongoing. 


Experiment 15 

Subject: D-3403 

Experiment: Renewed baseline viewing. No attempts to 
alter perception undertaken. 

Results: Subject began to hum the Fresh Prince of Bel 


Air theme song approximately 75 seconds into playback. 
Subject reported that typical inversion related to 
SCP-2251 had ceased. The video playback was not 
altered from its original content, and a second playback 
with subject instructed to remain silent throughout 
resulted in typical effects. 

Notes: It should be noted that secondary testing relating 
to Incident 2251-15 has confirmed the temporary 
reversal of inversion effects until the end of playback with 
as little as 5 seconds of either humming or singing this 
theme song.

Daphne Maxwell Reid in 1993. Several Foundation staff 
are also credited as producers, including Dr. Madison, 
Dr. Rosenthal, and Dr. Markowitz. 


Questioning of staff mentioned in these credits has 
produced no new information relating to the object. None 
of the three individuals appeared to possess knowledge 
of SCP-2251 prior to questioning. These staff members 
also display little capacity for the creation of such media. 


The video contained in SCP-2251 displays no variability. 
A scene fades in with the actors Will Smith and Alfonso 
Ribeiro sitting at what appears to be an outdoor cafe. 
After 1.3 seconds both actors and all loose items fall out 
of frame into the "sky". The camera continues to film the 
table, which is secured to the ground for 4.8 more 
seconds, during which a laugh track plays. 


There is an additional transition to a black screen which 
continues for approximately 63 seconds and during 
which a single tone plays. This is followed by a transition 
to a camera following both Will Smith and Alfonso 


Ribeiro falling into what appears to be open sky. Neither 
individual appears to be in distress, though all sounds 
are drowned out by wind. 


After approximately 4 minutes, both individuals appear to 
begin suffering from the effects of atmospheric hypoxia. 
Following another 2 minutes of intensifying symptoms, 
both individuals appear to lose consciousness. 12 
minutes and 46 seconds into the video, a single object 
(pictured above) falls in the opposite direction through 
the frame. 


After 22 minutes and 21 seconds have passed, the 
camera zooms into a close up of Will Smith, now 
suffering obvious symptoms associated with a low- 
pressure environment. He appears to regain 
consciousness, and the wind sound ceases. The actor 
states "Uncle Phil always told us not to get high,” before 
the episode ends with an additional laugh track. Credits 
continue for another 57 seconds accompanied by the 
same tone as earlier. 


Experiment 01 

Subject: D-1934 

Experiment: Baseline viewing. No attempts to 
alter perception undertaken. 

Results: Regardless of physical orientation, 
subject was unable to correct inversion. 


Experiment 03 

Subject: Jennifer Chord 

Experiment: Subject suffers from a rare 
spatial orientation disorder, inverting all 
images subject perceives. Otherwise same as 
baseline viewing. 

Results: Subject was again unable to correct 
inversion. Subject appeared confused by 
effects, and was slightly agitated until amnestic 
administration. Continued monitoring of 
subject has revealed no additional information. 


Experiment 06 

Subject: D-1934 

Experiment: D-1934 viewed SCP-2251's 
video content through a pair of lenses which 
inverted all visible light. Otherwise same as 
baseline viewing. 

Results: Inversion remained uncorrected. 
Subject complains of neck pain following test. 


Experiment 14 

Subject: D-1934 

Experiment: A copy of SCP-2251's video 
content was altered to be compatible with 3d 
glasses. Subject was provided with 3d 
glasses. Otherwise same as baseline viewing. 
Results: D-1934 suffered a severe neck injury 
upon impact with ceiling. Appeared to be 
repulsed from the floor at a rate consistent with 
an inversion of gravitational attraction. Upon 
removal of glasses, subject was affected by 
gravity normally. Measures were taken to 
ensure no secondary injuries occurred. 

Notes: Testing temporarily suspended 
following Test 14. D-1934 is to be treated for 
injury and returned to the D-class population. 
Re-evaluation of object ongoing. 


Experiment 15 

Subject: D-3403 

Experiment: Renewed baseline viewing. No 
attempts to alter perception undertaken. 
Results: Subject began to hum the Fresh 
Prince of Bel Airtheme song approximately 75 
seconds into playback. Subject reported that 
typical inversion related to SCP-2251 had 
ceased. The video playback was not altered 
from its original content, and a second 
playback with subject instructed to remain 
silent throughout resulted in typical effects. 
Notes: It should be noted that secondary 


testing relating to Incident 2251-15 has 
confirmed the temporary reversal of inversion 
effects until the end of playback with as little as 
5 seconds of either humming or singing this 
theme song. 


| have included a secondary copy of the file 
under an access wall. This access wall 
requires you to read lines of lyrics originating 
from the theme song which reverses inversion 
effects. This appears to also reverse the 
inversion effects in unread written text. | 
believe a modified form of this access wall 
should be included in the final documentation 
of SCP-2251.

SCP-2252: Pulling Clothesline 


Item #: SCP-2252 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2252 is located on the 
lawn of a rural two-story house. This house, currently under 
Foundation ownership, is to be occupied by three assigned 
Foundation agents who will be tasked with deterring or subduing any 
unauthorized persons found on the property. A shed has been 
constructed surrounding SCP-2252 to prevent accidental public 
exposure and is to remain padlocked except during active testing. 


Instances of SCP-2252-1 are to be neutralized and their remains 
incinerated as soon as possible. 


Description: SCP-2252 is a green nylon clothesline located at the 
address of [REDACTED], England. One end of the line is tied toa 
hollow, studded metal post 1.5m in height, from which the rest of the 
line extends horizontally for 2.3m. The other end terminates in 
midair with no visible means of support. 


Any human that grabs, bends, or touches SCP-2252 immediately 
becomes an instance of SCP-2252-1. SCP-2252-1 appear as 
humanoids with varying and severe deformities, many of which 
should be debilitating or fatal. Nonetheless, SCP-2252-1 instances 
are always initially alive and show no signs of pain, impaired body 
function, or bodily distress unless wounded. Any clothing worn or 
items carried on their person will be similarly distorted. 


SCP-2252-1 instances invariably and immediately exhibit signs of 
extreme fear, including screaming, trembling, refusal to move, 
shutting eyes, and attempts to attack or flee from any nearby 
humans. On a few occasions, SCP-2252-1 instances have 
attempted to speak, but their vocalizations did not match any known 
languages, and in some cases should not have been possible even 


accounting for their altered physiology. 


SCP-2252 was discovered when Foundation agents embedded in 
the local police force discovered a case involving an apparent 
murder and body mutilation of the husband by the wife of the couple 
residing at the house. Class A amnestics were administered to the 
wife and her children, and Class B amnestics were administered to 
all non-Foundation officers involved in the case. The body of the 
husband was incinerated. 


Addendum 1: Selected Experiment Logs 
Experiment 2252-01 


Test Subject: D-4586, Asian male, age 23 

Parameters: Subject ordered to approach and pull SCP-2252. 
Result: Subject's appearance altered as follows: mouth lengthened 
considerably, extending vertically along right side of face and 
terminating near right ear; left leg bent outward and extended to an 
estimated 3m, with knee directly above ankle; waist contracted to 
estimated 5cm in diameter; three ribs protruded noticeably, with skin 
stretching to accommodate them. 


After remaining motionless and mumbling incoherently for eleven 
seconds, subject attempted to break out of SCP-2252's containment 
shed and died after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds from agents 
present. Dissection of body was carried out and a full report is 
available to any personnel with a clearance level of 2-2252 or 
above. 


Experiment 2252-02 


Test Subject: D-2064, Caucasian male, age 35 

Parameters: Subject blindfolded, ordered not to remove until 
permitted, and instructed to pull SCP-2252. Agents present armed 
with stun guns. 

Result: Altered appearance: Subject's left arm, including hand, 
shrank to approximately 5cm in length. Head became flattened, 
taking the appearance of a vertically-aligned disc. No less than 
twenty tubelike growths emerged from subject's thighs and upper 
legs, connecting to various parts of the subject's body. Blindfold

gained sixteen new flaps, covering the front side of the head and the 
upper neck. 


Subject initially showed no signs of distress save for mild 
disorientation. When ordered to remove blindfold, subject expressed 
confusion and unease. Removal of blindfold revealed that each new 
flap concealed an additional eye. Subject expressed shock and 
extreme fear, dropping into an apparent crouching position at a 
roughly 45-degree angle with vertical. Subject was incapacitated 
and transferred to a standard humanoid containment cell for further 
study and observation, but was later terminated during an escape 
attempt when it charged Agent Ramsden and attempted to take his 
firearm. Remains of subject incinerated, blindfold and clothing 
recovered for examination. 


Experiment 2252-03 


Test Subject: D-6079, Caucasian male, age 28 

Parameters: Subject attached to tether and instructed to pull 
SCP-2252. Agents present armed with stun guns. 

Result: Altered appearance: Due to events occurring during the 
experiment, a summary of subject's changes is not possible. 
However, certain reported alterations were corroborated by multiple 
agents present: 


« Masses of polyp-like growths covering majority of subject's 
body 

¢ Arms diverged into multiple larger arms 

« Three separate heads, attached to subject's back by cubical 
necks 


Tether remained attached, length wrapped around subject shifted to 
accommodate new physiology. Subject began to frantically and 
repeatedly tug at the wire, causing body to undergo rapid 
physiological shifts, and agents expended four stun gun charges 
before successful hit and incapacitation. Subject has been 
transferred to a secure humanoid containment cell and is scheduled 
for future medical testing. 


Addendum 2: Notes from Project Research Head Dr. Bruyer 


It's clear that, whatever is happening to someone who 
pulls the line, everything about their body still makes 
sense to them. Nothing feels different. It's why they're 
fine until they remove the blindfold. Perhaps we're just 
seeing them from the wrong angle somehow - as though 
they've been pulled askew of reality. It makes me 
wonder, though: considering what they look like to us, 
what does the world look like to them?

SCP-2253: The Alcohol Republic 


Item #: SCP-2253 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The building exhibiting the 
SCP-2253 phenomenon has been converted to a Foundation 
research site. SCP-2253 is legally a brewery which is also a 
Foundation front organization, with the brewers being given Level 2 
security clearance. An underground research laboratory has been 
constructed under SCP-2253 studying samples of alcoholic 
beverages previously created within SCP-2253. Any anomalous 
beverages produced by SCP-2253 are to be stored within 
Site-77. 


Description: SCP-2253 is an anomalous brewery located in 
Springfield, NJ, USA. Whenever alcoholic beverages are brewed on 
the premises, they have a 5% chance of being mixed with a 
protoplasmic substance. In addition, a spectral humanoid entity 
resides within SCP-2253 with limited ability to manipulate its 
surroundings. 


This free-floating incorporeal entity (GCP-2253-1) identifies as 
Stephen Crane, an American politician who served as a delegate to 
the Continental Congress from 1774 to 1776.1 It is apparently in a 
perpetual state of intoxication. SCP-2253-1 is capable of exerting up 
to 20N of force and excreting various protoplasmic fluids. These 
excretions usually manifest as SCP-2253-1 simulating bodily 
functions. 


The alcoholic beverages containing SCP-2253 protoplasmic fluids 
are non-anomalous, with chemical analysis revealing that it is 
identical to Ethyl Hexanoate2. Consumption of the beverages has 
shown enhanced taste and flavor, although testing has shown mild 
to severe abdominal discomfort when consumed after consuming 
foodstuffs such as tea, fish and chips, and other British cuisine. 


SCP-2253-1 is cooperative, and researchers are encouraged to 
converse with it whenever possible in order to learn more about its 
origins and properties. 


History: SCP-2253's properties were initially noted after being 
purchased by a craft brewing operation. It is unknown if SCP-2253 
had its effects prior to this due to preexisting records being 
destroyed by Hurricane Diane. Initially, SCP-2253-1 attempted to 
frighten the new occupants out of SCP-2253. However SCP-2253-1 
ceased its harassment after learning that they intended to brew 
alcoholic beverages. Following this, the protoplasmic substances 
began manifesting within SCP-2253. 


Due to the name of the brewery, agents of Marshall, Carter, and 
Dark Lid. began investigating shortly after this initial opening, 
believing it to be a Foundation front. MC&D agents made several 
offers to purchase SCP-2253, all of which were refused by the 
owners. The refusal was partially motivated by SCP-2253-1's 
distaste towards a British corporation. MC&D, in turn, believed their 
business to be a front for the SCP Foundation to monitor their New 
England activities. 


MC&D attempted to seize SCP-2253 by force on / /_. After initial 
success in securing the property and detaining all occupants, 
SCP-2253-1 became hostile and began using cooking utensils, 
brewing equipment benches and granite counter-tops as projectile 
weapons against the MC&D Agents. Local police began to respond 
to reports of an ongoing shootout, and brought Foundation office's 
attention the situation. Three MC&D agents were captured, and 
fifteen local police officers were administered Class-B amnestics. 


Asof // SCP-2253 is classified as Safe. 


Addendum: Investigation into SCP-2253-1's relationship with 
Stephen Crane has been ongoing, due to the entity making frequent 
incorrect or impossible statements about Mr. Crane's life. 
SCP-2253-1 has attributed this to intoxication and age creating a 
propensity for exaggeration, but other theories about persons who 
have died on the property or could be considered candidates for 
other reasons. 


* Samson Crane - Resident of Springfield from 1765 to 1781, 
when his head was stomped on by a mule outside a tavern. 
Notably, several primary historical sources from the time 
indicate that he had at least a partial resemblance to Stephen 
Crane, and was possibly a cousin. 

* Samuel Chase - Signer of the Declaration of Independence. 
SCP-2253-1 has claimed to be a judge in the past, frequently 
when the owners of SCP-2253 were discussing legal 
procedures and taxes. SCP-2253-1 has identified itself as 
"Sam" and "Sammy" on multiple occasions.

SCP-2254: The Demon La Hire 


Item #: SCP-2254 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2254 is contained within 
the town of Fallon, Alabama. While SCP-2254's incorporeal nature 
has made it difficult to house in any long-term containment vessel, 
SCP-2254's isolation within Fallon has been deemed an acceptable 
amount of exposure in exchange for sustained containment of the 
entity. 


Foundation agents embedded within local law enforcement are to 
identify anomalous pregnancies that result from involvement by 
SCP-22541, and introduce an acceptable level of both mifepristone 
and prostaglandin into the affected subject's drinking water in order 
to induce miscarriage. Due to this protocol, the rate of SCP-2254-1 
manifestation has significantly decreased since SCP-2254's 
discovery. 


The continued implementation of the Black Tuesday Protocol is 
imperative to the ongoing containment of SCP-2254. 


Description: SCP-2254 is a hostile, massive, incorporeal entity 
contained within the town of Fallon, Alabama. SCP-2254 is invisible 
to the naked eye, and can only be viewed using infrared cameras. 
SCP-2254's form is that of a wildly distorted humanoid, roughly 
12.8m in height, with extremely distended arms and six legs2, a 
misshapen neck and face, thick shoulder length hair and severely 
disfigured genitals’. SCP-2254's skin is dark and mottled, and aside 
from six eyes arranged in two vertical columns of three per side 
SCP-2254's face is otherwise featureless, lacking a nose or mouth. 
SCP-2254's single other defining characteristic is the pictogram of 
the letter "J" above a heart that seems to have been branded into its 
forehead. 


SCP-2254 is seemingly capable of influencing human decision- 
making by altering cognition and manipulating young humans 
(typically under the age of 20) into copulation who would not 
otherwise be driven to do so. This manifests as a reported "dream 
state" wherein affected individuals are brought together semi- 
unconsciously to perform sexual intercourse while in a state of 
elevated suggestiveness and arousal+. These unions will generally 
always end in insemination, though SCP-2254's influence can be 
disturbed by the application of lachrymator agents (such as tear gas) 
or ammonia inhalants. Subjects brought out of SCP-2254's influence 
during the act of copulation usually express some confusion and 
hostility towards the source of the disturbance which abates over 
time. Afflicted subjects will also not express any kind of regret about 
the sexual union in question, though whether this is also the nature 
of SCP-2254's influence is currently unknown. 


SCP-2254 generally manifests at the Little Rock Canyon falls near 
Fallon, though not in any regular pattern. It is believed that 
SCP-2254 is more likely to manifest on nights where there are more 
age-appropriate targets freely available to interact with each other 
sexually, though this has not been confirmed. After manifestation, 
SCP-2254 will stalk towards any gathering of targets, potentially 
persuading targets in its path to move towards other targets in an 
attempt to influence more subjects into engaging in sexual 
intercourse. 


Once at least one pairing of targets has come together in one place 
and begun interacting sexually, SCP-2254 will lower its face to be 
level with the pair (or group) and will stare, unblinking, until the act is 
finished. On the rare occasion the insemination does not occur, 
SCP-2254 will linger above the pairing for a period of time, during 
which the couple will interact very little. After a certain amount of 
time, SCP-2254 will lower its face again and the sexual act will begin 
again. There have been no instances of insemination not occurring 
during the second instance. While the odds of conception through 
this manner are no different than usual, there is a significant chance 
(>68%) that the mother will become pregnant with an anomalous 
fetus classified as an SCP-2254-1 instance. 


Subjects who become anomalously pregnant as a result of 


SCP-2254's influence will experience the rapid growth of the 2254-1 
fetal structure, which will quickly take on non-human characteristics. 
These fetuses do not fully match either parent in genetic makeup 
and instead more closely resemble a hypothetical proto-human or 
early human ancestor, with many of the same deformed 
characteristics of SCP-2254. As they develop, SCP-2254-1 
instances will take increasingly more resources away from their 
mothers, starving them to encourage their own expedited growth. 
Despite this, SCP-2254-1 instances negatively affect the cognition of 
their birth mother, who will become passionately defensive of the 
2254-1 instance even as it devours her from the inside out. 


SCP-2254-1 instances generally do not kill their host mother before 
birthing themselves, though they do cause a significant amount of 
damage during their birthing that can lead to the mother's death by 
exsanguination from the vaginal canal. Despite a gestation and 
birthing process that leaves the mother exhausted and extremely 
malnourished, affected mothers are generally unable to recognize 
the anomalous nature of SCP-2254-1 instances and will care for 
them as if they were normal human newborns, including 
breastfeeding them. SCP-2254-1 instances are extremely sexually 
violent, and will attempt to rape, maim, and consume any living 
creature that disturbs them when they are with their mother. 


Mothers will generally continue to breastfeed the SCP-2254-1 
instances (usually two or three are born at a time) until they either 
expire, typically from severe malnutrition or cardiac arrest, or reach 
maturity. In the event of their mothers' death, SCP-2254-1 instances 
will consume the corpse and then disappear into any available 
nearby sheltered area, including abandoned buildings, forests, 
scrapyards, etc. Uncontained SCP-2254-1 instances are believed to 
be the cause of no fewer than thirty reported sexually explicit deaths 
over the last fifteen years. 


Addendum 2254.1: Discovery 


SCP-2254 was discovered after an amateur photographer from Fort 
Payne, Alabama, accidentally captured footage of SCP-2254 
through an infrared camera lens. Foundation assets quickly secured 
a perimeter around the town, after which a four month period of 
research and investigation began. It was determined that SCP-2254 


was not containable by typical methods, and after SCP-2254 was 
followed to Birmingham, Alabama to follow a local of the town who 
had recently moved to the city, programs were implemented to 
discourage movement of affected persons out of Fallon. More 
information about this can be found in Addendum 2254.2. 


Addendum 2254.2: Black Tuesday Protocol 


The Black Tuesday Protocol was established to purposefully and 
effectively depress the local economy of Fallon, Alabama, in order to 
retain the local population and control exposure to SCP-2254. The 
Black Tuesday Protocol is built on five core tenants: 


1. Reduce spending at the state level to local schools and other 
educational programs 

2. Reduce exposure to media that glamorizes or glorifies urban 
living 

. Increase exposure to heroin and other opiates 

. Decrease the price of alcohol and tobacco 

. Enforce a "family first" doctrine founded on evangelical 
Christianity that prioritizes a family structure wherein older 
members of the family are relied upon for child care while 
younger members are free to continue procreation. 


of Ow 


The Black Tuesday Protocol also dictates the ongoing treatment of 
five women from Fallon who no longer live within the town and who 
are visited occasionally by SCP-2254. All of these women, ages 
16-29, are being dosed through their water supply with the 
aforementioned mix of mifepristone and prostaglandin to inhibit 
pregnancy. They are unconscious of this treatment, and while their 
inability to conceive children has taken a marked toll on their mental 
health the protocol has significantly diminished their odds to 
conceive an SCP-2254-1 instance, and has reduced the number of 
birthed instances outside of Fallon to zero. 


Addendum 2254.3: Interview 


The following is an interview by Agent Lamiere, posing as an 

investigative journalist, and a local woman named Kate Barnett. Mrs. 
Barnett was, notably, twice the subject of anomalous conception due 
to SCP-2254's influence, the first of which resulted in the birth of two 


SCP-2254-1 instances and the second of which was caught and 
terminated as a result of current containment measures.

Agent Lamiere: (Pauses) ...alright, we're recording. 
Thanks for taking the time to sit with me, Ms...? 


Mrs. Barnett: Oh, that's Kate. Kate Barnett. But my 
maiden name is Kate Forrest. 


Agent Lamiere: Perfect, perfect. So when | called you 
on the phone, | had asked about some things that had 
come up in your medical history. 


Mrs. Barnett: You talking about my babies. 


Agent Lamiere: Yes. How many kids did you say you 
had? 


Mrs. Barnett: Well, there's Daniel5, and Bub®, and the 
twins’, then baby June who passed3. | was pregnant 
with another but it didn't make it neither9. 


Agent Lamiere: Yeah, that's perfect. Can you tell me 
about anything unusual you may have noticed with the 
twins? Something strange about how they were 
conceived, | mean. 


Mrs. Barnett: You mean ‘bout their daddy? He's a good- 
for-nothing. We had one stupid drunk night then | got 
knocked up and he ran off!9. Didn't want nothing to do 
with them. Would've been lost if it weren't for Jack. 


Agent Lamiere: Jack? 


Mrs. Barnett: Yeah. Jack's bout as much daddy as 
they've had. It's good, too, since he's a damn sight better 
father than Mason ever would've been.

just know it's the same? That's Jack. He come to me the 
night Mason got me knocked up, and he's so pretty with 
that blond hair and his eyes. He knows how to treat a 
woman right. | told him that Mason had left and that | 
think he had got me pregnant, and Jack said not to worry 
about it. That he'd be there to take care of things. 


Agent Lamiere: How did you know you were pregnant? 


Mrs. Barnett: Oh, that's just mother's intuition. 
Sometimes you just know. And | knew, and Jack knew 
too. But he told me everything was going to be alright, 
and that he'd take care of my babies. 


Agent Lamiere: | see. How long have you known Jack? 


Mrs. Barnett: Well... ever since | was little, | guess. 
Maybe since when | was in the 9th grade, when Daniel 
was born. Jack was there then. He didn't say much then, 
just that | was his special girl and that he was gonna be 
around for a while. He wasn't around much when Dan 
was growing up, but he was when the twins were born 
and then again when | had the miscarriage. God- 
(sniffles) he was so sad about that. | cried and cried and 
he just held my hand and said "There there, that's alright. 
You're still my special girl". 


Agent Lamiere: Are you the only person who knows 
Jack? 


Mrs. Barnett: Mmmmmm... | don't think so. | think just 
about all girls around here know Jack. He's just so 
supportive, you know? Like, it's like he knows what it's 
like to want to be a mother, and he's just there to make it 
alright. To some of them, though, you know, he's just 
Jack, but... (laughs) between you and me, he's my Jack. 


Agent Lamiere: | see. Anything else you have to add? 


Mrs. Barnett: | don't think so. (Pauses) Hey, you seem 
to know all about this. You ever seen Jack's brothers? 


Agent Lamiere: Brothers? 


Mrs. Barnett: Yeah. | think they're all named Jack, 
they're just each sort of different. Jack is scared of them. 
| am too, but | ain't never seen em. Just the way he talks 
about them, you know they're bad. 


Agent Lamiere: Bad? Bad how? 


Mrs. Barnett: | don't know. | just know that Jack is 
always smilin', except when he talks about his brothers. 
Then he's not smilin’ much at all.

2. Two legs appear to protrude from the upper back, while another 
two protrude from the lower back, just above the tailbone, forcing 
SCP-2254 to walk in an awkward scuttling motion. 

3. In place of what would seem to be male genitalia is a seeping 
mass of pustulous lesions, capable of extending out from the main

SCP-2254's "genitals" appear to be otherwise ineffective and serve 
to do little more than impede its progress as it moves.

accompanied by elevated hormonal levels, leading researchers to 
believe this state is wholly fabricated by SCP-2254's influence and 
not the product of actual biological responses. 

5. Non-anomalous child, still living in Fallon, aged 26. 

6. Non-anomalous child, lives with his father out of state, aged 19. 
7. Two SCP-2254-1 instances, both of which reached full maturity 
and were presumed destroyed after Mobile Task Force Alpha-44 
"Big Game Hunters" raided an 2254-1 nest, killing several of the 
instances. 

8. Non-anomalous infant, died due to complications from SIDS. 

9. SCP-2254-1 instance that was terminated as a result of 


containment protocols. 
10. The father in question is Mason Banks, a welder who lives three 
doors down from Mrs. Barnett.

SCP-2255: The Most Interesting Rainstorm in the 
World 


Item #: SCP-2255 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2255’s current residence 
is a Foundation-owned island north of the Phoenix Islands group in 
the Pacific Ocean. A research base has been established on the 
island’s south shore to monitor and report on SCP-2255’s activity. At 
least one Level-3 and three Level-2 personnel are to occupy the 
base at all times and maintain communication with the nearest 
Foundation containment site. All research staff assigned to 
SCP-2255 must have background in biology (if possible, botany 
specifically) or psychology. 


A population of twenty D-Class and five Foundation security officers 
is to be stationed on the island in designated living areas, and given 
daily tasks to keep the community functioning. To maintain the guise 
of dedicated worship of SCP-2255’s apparent creator, dried hibiscus 
and hibiscus tea are to be consumed regularly in SCP-2255’s 
presence, and D-Class are to ensure that the prepared shrine for 
SCP-2255 is given five freshly-picked flowers each day at sunrise. 
D-Class personnel are to refrain from engaging in conversation with 
SCP-2255; any discussion with the anomaly is to be carried out by 
Foundation researchers. Personnel interacting with SCP-2255 are to 
adopt a tone of respect to ensure its continued cooperation. 


Each month a survey of the island’s hibiscus population is to be 
done; resources will be distributed for replenishment should the 
flower count be observed depleted. 


Description: SCP-2255 is a localized weather phenomenon that 
takes the shape of a cumulus humilis cloud measuring roughly three 
meters at longest. SCP-2255 is sapient and capable of speech, 
generally speaking English in a low-pitched male voice. It has 


claimed to be a creation and an envoy of a flower goddess (See 
Addendum SCP-2255-2). 


SCP-2255’s average altitude ranges from five to twenty meters, 
though during cloudy or overcast days it tends to hover close to the 
island’s trees (See Addendum SCP-2255-3). Though SCP-2255 is 
able to move independently, its maximum observed speed is 15 km/ 
h. Despite its claims of capacity for divine wrath, SCP-2255 has yet 
to cause harm to any human being. 


SCP-2255’s presence is accompanied by a strong aroma, often 
compared to that of floral perfume. SCP-2255 has additionally 
exhibited instances of anomalous precipitation, including: 


* raining a concentrated fructose and water solution 

* “snowing” frost-covered hibiscus petals 

* hailing princess-cut diamonds (ranging from 1 to 2 cm in 
diameter) 


Addendum SCP-2255-1: SCP-2255 was initially discovered near 
the Hawaiian Islands, attempting to gather followers from the local 
population by reciting popular advertising slogans used by various 
commercial companies. Foundation operatives intervened and 
administered amnestics to those who came into contact with 
SCP-2255, and persuaded it (using the lure of an existing devout 
population) to relocate. SCP-2255’s journey to its current location 
was monitored by Foundation aircraft and research personnel were 
dispatched to the island prior to SCP-2255’s departure. 


Addendum SCP-2255-2: SCP-2255 has, as of // _ , taken to 
remaining close to the shrine constructed to its alleged deity. As the 
entity had habitually “patrolled” the island prior to this time, an 
interview was conducted to determine the change in behavior. 


Interview Log SCP-2255- - 


Dr. Kiryu ts sitting on a large stone with recording 
equipment set up next to him. SCP-2255 hovers 
overhead roughly 3 meters from the ground, occasionally 
rising and returning to its average altitude. 


Dr. Kiryu: Thank you for meeting with me, emissary of 
the vibrant flower goddess. Will you please tell me why 
you remain exclusively in the company of the shrine? 


SCP-2255: My creator, master of the sky water and sea 
flowers, is weary. And | am not at my full strength when | 
am far from the offerings given to her. 


Dr. Kiryu: Do tell. There are no songs yet about the true 
extent of your power. 


SCP-2255: My might stems from my goddess. She is 
beauty incarnate and worthy of adulation. Should she 
wish it, my rain will flood your cities and my frost will 
decimate your fragile blossoms. 


Dr. Kiryu: And she has told you the depth of her full 
powers? 


SCP-2255: [pause] No, but she has seen so many of 
your so-called “ads” and created me, thus her knowledge 
must be unparalleled and her powers infinite. She 
deserves more praise. 


Dr. Kiryu: The people have noticed that you rain sugar 
water. Is this a power of your goddess? 


SCP-2255: | don’t always rain wine, you see. 


Dr. Kiryu: Ah, indeed. So you are bestowed these 
powers to act as your lady’s messenger? 


SCP-2255: My lady was dissatisfied with her standing, 
as her four ostentatious older sisters were held in higher 
regard than her loveliness despite their various 
shortcomings. She would show them her worth through 
me. 


Dr. Kiryu: It is unfortunate, for her to be treated that 
way. Did she create you to show man as well what she 
was capable of? 


SCP-2255: Kokio, deity of vibrant flowers, beauty 
unparalleled, studied the persuasive techniques of man 
and used the knowledge to shape me into what | have 
now become, to act as her emissary and speak to her 
worshippers in her stead. She in her generosity thinks of 
those who follow her and endeavors to communicate in a 
familiar manner. 


Dr. Kiryu: If | may ask, cloud nimbus of the flower 
goddess, what are you exactly? 


SCP-2255: | may not be on a horse or a boat, but | am 
the most interesting rainstorm in the world. 


Addendum SCP-2255-3: When questioned regarding its habit of 
descending to lower altitudes when there were other clouds visible 
in the sky, SCP-2255 replied that it “was not interested in inciting 
undue ire” should the other clouds notice its presence. SCP-2255 
further insisted vehemently and preemptively that it was “not hiding 
from anyone who may challenge the goddess”. 


Addendum SCP-2255-4: On // , SCP-2255 left its resting place 
at the shrine and began circling the perimeter of the island, loudly 
chanting several slogan-like phrases including “Hail Kokio! She’s the 
Kokio-est!”, “Trust in the flower goddess: just do it”, and “got 
hibiscus?” while depositing large volumes of granulated sugar as it 
passed. After 5 hours of this behavior, SCP-2255 returned to the 
shrine and remained stationary until the next day. similar incidents 
have occurred since the initial incident, with SCP-2255 exclaiming 
different slogans each time.

SCP-2256: Very Tall Things 


Item #: SCP-2256 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Information about SCP-2256 is 
subject to a gradual antimemetic corrosion effect. Corrosion occurs 
at differing rates depending on the level of detail/accuracy in the 
information and the physical complexity of the storage medium. In- 
depth academic papers, photographs, and information stored 
electronically decay rapidly; broad descriptions, pencil sketches and 
paperwork decay slowly. 


Therefore, this electronic database entry should describe SCP-2256 
only in broad terms. Detailed information about SCP-2256's 
appearance, theorised evolutionary ancestry, biology, diet, 
behaviour, vocalisations, lifecycle, intelligence, ecological role and 
cultural significance should be stored in hard copy at Site 19, vault 
1-053. The rate of corrosion in both data sources should be 
monitored carefully, although at present no technique is known for 
halting or undoing such corrosion. 


Although these antimemetic effects linger and rate Euclid 
classification, SCP-2256 itself is extinct and requires no special 
containment procedures. 


Description: SCP-2256 (Cryptomorpha gigantes) is a species of 
gigafauna which was endemic to the South Pacific Ocean around 
the islands of Polynesia. SCP-2256 was one of the very few 
recorded species known to have developed rudimentary 
perceptual/"antimemetic" camouflage, rendering them nearly 
impossible for other sentient beings to perceive or remember. This 
adaptation is theorized to have arisen in order to elude predators. 


SCP-2256 was the largest species to have lived on Earth. 
Resembling spindly, vertically elongated giraffes or 


brachiosauruses, adults of the species grew to over 1,000 metres in 
height. They weighed no more than 4 tonnes, with most of their 
mass being "camouflaged" by a very similar adaptation. With their 
broad, dish-shaped feet, they were able to walk directly on the 
surface of the ocean without sinking. 


SCP-2256 navigated the ocean alone or in of 2 to as many as 
2,000 individuals. They were reluctant to approach land, especially 
inhabited islands, usually staying more than 30 kilometres offshore. 
Because of their height, they were visible on the horizon at this 
distance. 


Acquisition: Polynesian natives of the island of Maikiti used a 
substance called teukoka for recreational and religious purposes. As 
well as being a moderate psychedelic, this drug had mnestic 
properties, suppressing antimemetic effects and making entities 
camouflaged in this way easier to see and remember. Thus, the 
Maikitians were for hundreds of years the only people able to see 
SCP-2256. In Maikitian mythology SCP-2256 were wandering spirits 
whom the gods had charged with maintaining the horizon, to ensure 
that the sky and the water never mixed. They were characterised as 
well-meaning and friendly, but unintelligent and often deficient in 
their duties, resulting in storms and typhoons. They were called 
polo'ongakau, "the ones who walk very slowly". 


In 1991 an internal biochemistry study revealed that teukoka bore a 
strong chemical resemblance to the Foundation's own class-W 
mnestic. A Foundation anthropologist was assigned to follow the 
Maikitian legend, and became the first outsider to observe -2256. 
An observation was quickly on the island to study the 
creatures. Routine containment analysis found that SCP-2256 was 
Safe and required no special containment procedures, or even 
particular secrecy. 


History: SCP- immediately proved to be impossible to capture 
photographically. Photographic negatives of the species faded into 
transparency over the a few minutes. Similar decay 

affected videotape, audio tape, celluloid film, digital and electronic 
scans, . The observation team soon returned most of their 
equipment to inventory and proceeded using pencils and __. At the 
time, it | believed that such recordings would be effectively 


permanent. 


SCP-2256's population declined slightly in 1992 and 1993, then 
dropped sharply from 1994 onwards. A combination of contributing 
factors were observed: illness, infertility and an rate of 
stillbirths. 


In 2002 a field generator was developed which could penetrate and 
neutralise SCP-2256's antimemetic , allowing for conventional 
photography. The first and only close-up photograph of one of the 
creatures instantly killed it. It was concluded that direct observation 
of SCP-2256 is injurious to. This adaptation is believed to have 
arisen as a means of detecting predators, just as SCP-2256's 
antimemetic camouflage protected them from those same predators. 
Use of generator was immediately curtailed. 


It was subsequently hypothesised that the Foundation's ongoing 
passive observation of the species was intense enough to have 
harmful effects on SCP-2256, and that was what was driving the 
species extinction. Opinions differed sharply veracity of this 
hypothesis, over thoroughly it should be tested, and over what 

be done if it proved to be true. Several extreme options were 

, including exterminating - to preserve the data, 

and completely expunging the data to preserve -2256. No firm 
conclusions 


In 2003 observation of SCP-2256 was scaled back significantly, and 
the Foundation focus from gathering data to analysing 

data. However, SCP-2256's population continued to . The last 
individual died near Tokelau October 30, 2006. 


2010 discovered _ the antimemetic camouflage , also 
characterised as "decay" or "corrosion", was spreading through 
paperrecordsof - .Asof ,more 60%of documents are 

, even with strong mnestic dose. The effect is even 
SCP entry itself, despite shielding and redundancy in 
system. 


Since - extinct, new data it can be generated. It is 
that full contamination three to eight years. 


SCP-258: Weeping Frog 


Item #: SCP-258 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-258 is to be kept ina 
standard storage vault with a keycard lock to be accessed only on 
approval from the supervisor of Site 15. SCP-258 is to be stored ina 
2m x 2m basin, which is to be emptied twice a week by approved D- 
class personnel. All personnel interacting with SCP-258 are to be 
rotated no less than twice a month. While using SCP-258 is not 
directly harmful in any way, all who have utilized it have expressed a 
desire to do so again, ranging from the wistful to the vehement. All 
personnel interacting with SCP-258 are to be screened for 
underlying mental instability. 


After Incident 258-1, cleaning personnel are to be issued light 
hazmat suits while interacting with SCP-258. 


Description: SCP-258 was recovered from , Maine after 
parents of local schoolchildren reported that stories of a 'sad bouncy 
frog’ their children had been spreading were true. Agent F 
confirmed the nature of the object and Foundation personnel 
replaced it with a replica without incident. 


SCP-258 appears to be a simple bouncing playground rider, 
seemingly designed to fit children of elementary school age and 
shaped like a stylized green frog with rotating handles on either side 
of its head. SCP-258 has milky-white eyes with what appear to be 
streams of white paint running down its face, as though it were 
weeping. Numerous attempts have been made to remove this 
substance from SCP-258; the green paint comes off with normal 
paint removal techniques, but the white substance, hereafter 
designated SCP-258-1, cannot; it only fades with time, observed to 
depend on various factors including length of time utilized and the 
extent of the emotional burden ‘relieved’.

SCP-2257: House God 


Item #: SCP-2257 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2257 currently belongs to 
the Foundation, under a constructed identity. In order to maintain a 
perimeter, a fence is installed around most of the property, anda 
security team is posted in the residence directly across the road. 
The lawn is to be mowed once a week, and the lights set on a timer 
to turn on and off at appropriate times to give the appearance of 
occupancy. 


Description: SCP-2257 is a one bedroom, two bathroom home ina 
suburban development located in , Wisconsin. The exterior 
presents no anomalous properties. The interior is normally furnished 
for a suburban home. 


Approximately 48 hours after entering SCP-2257 by any means, all 
objects and entities become an instance of SCP-2257-1. 
SCP-2257-1 refers to anomalous items (most commonly furniture or 
household appliances) found within SCP-2257. SCP-2257-1 
instances are sapient and capable of speech in English. Subjects 
converted into SCP-2257-1 instances do not physically change, but 
gain individualized personalities, voices, and consciousnesses 
separate from other instances, although interviews imply a telepathic 
communication between instances. 


All instances of SCP-2257-1 claim to be the sole deity of their 
respective physical representation. For example, SCP-2257-1-23 is 
a tan, suede armchair that claims to be the "god of chairs". Other 
than these properties, instances of SCP-2257-1 have shown no 
other anomalous qualities. At the time of writing, however, testing 
has consisted only of inanimate objects. It has been implied 
however by instances of SCP-2257-1 that a living entity could 
become another instance of SCP-2257-1. (See Addendum) 


The instances of SCP-2257-1 maintain a set of order throughout 
SCP-2257, often rearranging themselves when shifted to reattain 
their state of balance. For example, when the cutlery normally set in 
the dining room is rearranged, instances of SCP-2257-1 become 
agitated until they are able to return to the formal cutlery 
arrangement by fine dining standards in the United States of 
America (the salad fork must be on the far left, the dinner fork 
beside it, etc). 


All instances of SCP-2257-1 are capable of rearranging themselves 
when left unobserved. When objects and entities SCP-2257 that are 
not currently an instance of SCP-2257-1 enter the premises, 
instances will try to deter the subject from remaining within the home 
until the 48-hour threshold has passed, at which point the new 
instance is welcomed, so long as another occurrence of the same 
object does not already exist. Instances of SCP-2257-1 will 
rearrange themselves in ineffectual attempts to menace or otherwise 
deter objects that are deemed useless or extraneous.

SCP-2258: The Great Escape 


Item #: SCP-2258 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2258 must be kept ina 
containment cell with a padded ceiling, floor and walls. No sharp 
objects are to be taken into its containment cell. 


Each instance of SCP-2258 must be replenished with helium once 
every 24 hours. Helium replenishing should take place in 
SCP-2258's cell. Padded gloves must be worn while replenishing 
each instance of SCP-2258 and in every other circumstance where 
handling SCP-2258 is a factor. 


Description: SCP-2258 is a collection of forty-one thirty-six helium 
party balloons of a variety of colours. SCP-2258 instances are 
physically indistinguishable from ordinary party balloons, but are 
sentient and capable of human speech. 


Testing of SCP-2258 instances (designated with a suffix -1 through 
-41) has confirmed that each balloon has a separate and individual 
personality, identity and memories. The balloons refer to themselves 
with common Western names (e.g. Daphne, Jacob) and identify 
themselves as either male or female. However, their limited intellect 
and repetitive speech patterns can make it difficult to tell SCP-2258 
instances apart. For easy identification, the Foundation has marked 
each member of SCP-2258 with a number in permanent marker. 


Instances of SCP-2258 vocalise constantly, with silences of more 
than twenty seconds being extremely rare. SCP-2258 instances 
acknowledge nearly everything they see or do, including changing 
direction in mid-air, seeing another member of SCP-2258, or 
bumping into the walls or ceiling. SCP-2258 instances speak with 
high-pitched, child-like voices, rarely using full sentences. 


SCP-258 constantly appears to 'weep' streams of SCP-258-1, ata 
constant rate of approximately 0.12 liters per hour. When a subject 
sits on SCP-258, grasps its handles, and begins rocking back and 
forth, they report that a feeling of peace and contentment washes 
over them; the 'eyes' of the object then begin leaking SCP-258-1 at 
an accelerated rate, relative to the effect it has on its user's state of 
mind. Though this substance cannot be removed from SCP-258 
once the seat is vacated, it remains in liquid form during use, and 
will drip from the object onto the ground. Testing of this material 
afterward has determined it to be a mixture of plain white paint, 
human tears, and skin secretions of the American bullfrog. How 
SCP-258 generates SCP-258-1 is unknown. The direct effect of 
SCP-258 only lasts for as long as the subject remains seated, 
though several subjects suffering symptoms of chronic depression 
have reported a lasting positive effect, resulting from some 'insight' 
they gained while riding SCP-258. 


Repeated use of SCP-258 by a subject has shown to be mildly 
addictive, and Agent W had to be restrained and struck before 
regaining self-control. The results of allowing mentally unstable 
subjects access to SCP-258 is unknown, pending further testing, 
though it is likely that any subject suffering from severe depressive 
symptoms would cause SCP-258 to produce uncontrollable amounts 
of SCP-258-1. 


Addendum 258-1: After D-3354 committed suicide following 
repeated skin contact with SCP-258-1, the direct effects of contact 
with the substance were reexamined. Continuous skin contact with 
the fluid appears to transfer some of the emotions suppressed 
during use of the SCP, and the prior user was reevaluated, revealing 
she was recovering from [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


« SCP-257 | SCP-258 | SCP-259 » 


SCP-2258 instances have very simple and upbeat personalities. 
Until recent events (see Incident Log-2258), they appear happy to 
float around in their containment cell, frequently vocalising about 
their positive mood. Their mood is usually linked to the amount of 
helium inside them. As they deflate, SCP-2258 instances become 
increasingly tired, quiet, and despondent. When they are fully 
deflated, they cease vocalisation altogether, and are 
indistinguishable from ordinary balloons. Re-inflating them does not 
bring back their sentience. 


The balloons are capable of a degree of flying under their own 
power. They can control the direction they float, but cannot exceed 
self-powered velocities of more than .5 m/s 


Discovery: 


SCP-2258 was found tied to a fencepost outside the sixth birthday 
party of , in Adelaide, South Australia. Interviews of party 
attendees and surrounding neighbours and follow-up investigations 
failed to provide any information regarding SCP-2258's origins. 
Amnesiacs were administered to all witnesses. 


+ Interview Log 2258-1 

The following was conducted by Dr. Ben Kasrzyszak. 
Kasrzyszak: Hello SCP-2258-13. 
SCP-2258-13: Hi! I'm David! 


Kasrzyszak: | was wondering if we could talk 
about where you came from. 


SCP-2258-13: | come from a room! 


Kasrzyszak: Yes, but | was hoping you could 
be more specific. 


SCP-2258-13: A room with big ceilings! 
[SCP-2258-13 begins drifting backwards] 
Look! I'm going backwards! 


Kasrzyszak: Where did you come from before 
you came to the Foundation? 


SCP-2258-13:...1...can't remember. [beat] 
Now I'm going forwards! 


Kasrzyszak: Are you sure you can't 
remember anything? 


SCP-2258-13: | remember...sky. Lots of sky. 
Blue. The sky was blue. /beat] Now | don't feel 


happy. 


Kasrzyszak: Would you like some happy gas, 
SCP-2258-13? ["Happy gas" is SCP-2258's 
term for helium] 


SCP-2258-13: Boy, would !! 
Incident Log-2258 


Notes: After reoeated helium deprivation experiments and interviews 
about the outside world, SCP-2258 has developed a rebellious 
nature and is actively plotting to escape containment. While its very 
nature makes escape nigh-impossible, SCP-2258's escape attempts 
are documented here. 


Incident 2258-1: 


SCP-2258 surrounds Researcher , and attempts to 
pummel him into submission. As SCP-2258's mass consists entirely 
of household party balloons, suffers only mild confusion. 


SCP-2258 is dispersed by hand. 
Incident 2258-2: 


SCP-2258 forms itself into a very crude humanoid shape. SCP-2258 
refers to itself as Dr. Kasrzyszak and requests to be let out of 
containment. Request denied. 


Addendum 2258-3: 


SCP-2258 is currently bouncing repeatedly against the northern 
wall. SCP-2258 continues to do so without pause, stopping only for 
mandatory helium supplements. As of this writing, SCP-2258 has 
continued this activity for nine months and eleven days. Overheard 
snatches of conversation imply that SCP-2258 is trying to break 
down or tunnel through the walls of its cell. No visible damage to the 
northern wall has been recorded thus far.

SCP-2259: Survival of the Foetest 


Item #: SCP-2259 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2259 is to be kept 
maintained with charcoal filters and fluorescent lights replaced as 
necessary. The tank will be cleaned carefully to avoid damage to 
specimens inside. Twice daily fish food will be sprinkled onto the 
surface of the water. 


No specimens can be brought to term without permission from Site 
Director and the Ethics Committee. 


Description: SCP-2259 is a 1000 liter glass fish tank measuring 
280cm x 65cm x 55cm. It is lined with a gravel substrate, with under- 
tank filters. Fluorescent lights are set into a plastic hood fitted to the 
top of the tank. There are several plastic plants and a novelty skull 
bubbler that opens its mouth at regular intervals. 


When properly maintained with salt water, SCP-2259 is capable of 
spontaneously generating human embryos, henceforth referred to 
as "genesis events." In a genesis event, 150-200 zygotes are 
produced. These will immediately begin dividing, following normal 
human development until day 7. Instead of implanting onto a 
placental wall, blastocysts will be free-swimming. Each forms an 
opening in the trophoblast which allows it to consume food flakes 
placed in the tank. 


At this stage, cannibalism will begin to occur; at irregular intervals, a 
blastocyst will approach another and begin stripping off surface cells 
until it has killed off the target blastocyst. Other blastocysts will 
approach and also begin to feed. If sufficient food is provided, 
approximately 15% of the blastocysts will be consumed in the first 
four weeks, increasing if insufficient food is provided. They will 
spend most of their time hiding among the plastic plants. 


If no food is provided, the blastocysts will consume each other until 
only one is left, which will then starve to death. 


Aside from the feeding opening, development will proceed normally. 
At four weeks, limb buds will allow the embryo to swim more freely, 
and the feeding opening will begin to close as the mouth forms. 


At this point, the embryos become much more active and spend 
more time in the open parts of the tank. Cannibalism will occur at a 
slightly lower rate, with a further 10% being culled by eight weeks. 


At eight weeks, the embryos will be fully recognizable as fetuses, 
with lengths ranging from 2.5 to 4 cm in length. Arms and legs will 
be clearly visible, with nose and jaws rapidly [REDACTED]. The 
feeding opening, now unnecessary, will be completely closed. Most 
of those that survive beyond this point will have varying rates of 
genetic chimerism due to incomplete ingestion of other blastocysts. 


At this point, they will become much more territorial and aggressive. 
This is the period of greatest cannibalism as the fetuses actively 
hunt for each other, using [REDACTED]. 90% attrition rates can be 
expected by week 20. 


At this point, fetuses will begin to respond to auditory stimuli; tapping 
on the side of the tank causes great agitation at this stage. Lanugo 
and vernix will begin to form on the fetal skin, providing some 
protection. Amniotic sacs will form, but will be quickly torn at the 
limbs and mouths during feeding, leaving those parts free. 


By the end of 24 weeks, the fetuses will be clearly recognizable as 
human, with the exception of [REDACTED]. Fat will begin to form on 
them; this is particularly recognizable on those most successful in 
predation. 


Any outside animals introduced to the water at this stage will be 
targeted by the fetuses. In one experiment, a 1.5 kg rabbit was 
skeletonized over the course of five minutes after being dropped into 
the tank. 


The final wave of predation will occur as the tank becomes crowded 
due to the growth of the fetuses. By week 30, there will be no more 


than three fetuses surviving as the weakest and smallest are torn 
apart by the others. One surviving at this point is typical. The mouth 
and nose will reform until typical for a fetus of this stage. 


At some point from week 34 to week 40, the remaining fetus or 
fetuses will breach the water and begin to give an auditory cry. If 
they are not removed at this stage, they will fall back into the water 
and drown. 


Once removed from the water, the fetus is considered born, and will 
be referred to as an instance of SCP-2259-2. Instances of 
SCP-2259-2 are identical to normal human infants in nearly all 
respects. A scar from the closing of their feeding opening is in the 
same location as a human navel, and almost identical. X-rays of the 
jaws show some minor signs of [REDACTED], but are 
indistinguishable without close examination. The infant can be 
cleaned and the caul removed. 


Three weeks after the last fetus has died or been removed from the 
tank, a new genesis event will occur. 


Recovery: SCP-2259 was recovered from a London apartment after 
the tenant, one Jeremy Watson, came to the Foundation's attention 
under suspicion of successful application of alchemy. 


During the raid, the suspect destroyed much of an old book. At this 
point, a number of arms emerged from a cupboard and dragged the 
suspect from Foundation custody before vanishing. It is believed the 
book was from the Wanderer's Library, and that Watson is currently 
held prisoner for damage to a Library book. 


The book was titled Homunculi and Genesis, written by a 17th 
century English alchemist named Rafe Hodgsonn. It was concerned 
with the creation of life, and surviving pages discuss the 
spontaneous generation of maggots from rotted meat and mice from 
soiled cloth and wheat. Unfortunately, the process was in the portion 
of the book destroyed by Watson. 


Surviving notes from Watson discuss feeding cycles and the 
expected stages of development. The notes suggest that Watson 
had produced several generations of SCP-2259-2 prior to the raid. It 


is currently unknown what happened to these specimens. 


MTF Nu-4, "Golden Standard," has been alerted that this book may 
be in the hands of other alchemical researchers. MTF lota-17, 
"Navel Gazers," are watching for upspikes in the incidence of 
genetic chimerism, as well as any children showing unusual navel 
scars or mandible development. 


Addendum 2259-23: As of 05/23/2014, only two instances of 
SCP-2259-2 have been allowed to come to term. One is an Asian 
female currently six years old. The second is a Caucasian male 
currently four years old. Both are being monitored, but have shown 
no anomalous properties. They are unaware of their origin, and have 
been rendered sterile as a security measure. 


Addendum 2259-35: New substrate must be thoroughly cleaned 
and sterilized before being added to the tank. A specimen of Eunice 
aphroditois was discovered in the tank and could not be contained 
and removed for over six months, greatly disrupting the genesis 
cycle.

SCP-2260: Traveler's Journal 


Item #: SCP-2260 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2260 is contained in 
Locker 43, located inside the storage room in Area-35. Any 
personnel wishing to use SCP-2260 for any purpose must fill out the 
mandatory SCP-2260 paperwork. The paperwork must detail 
location of choice, time wishing to be spent there, and activities 
performed at said location and submit the paperwork to Dr. 
Matthews. He will approve or deny the request to use SCP-2260. All 
entries into SCP-2260 must be monitored by at least two security 
personnel, and any deviation from approved entries will be met with 
immediate termination. 


Description: SCP-2260 is a green composition book with no 
markings or names on the front of the book. On the first page of the 
book, the sentence "I went to spend the rest of my life in Hawaii" is 
written in pencil. SCP-2260 is in good physical condition, contains 
200 wide ruled pages, and appears the same as a non-anomalous 
composition book; however, it weighs 4.5 kg, or approximately 10 
lbs. 


Use of SCP-2260 puts subjects in a temporary coma and causes 
them to dream of visiting the location specified in the writing. 
Subjects do not physically manifest at the location; however, events 
that take place in the coma will affect the subject's physical body. 


Anyone wishing to travel using SCP-2260 must use a journal entry 
formatting. It must be written in the past tense, specify a place the 
subject wants to go to, and what length of time the subject wants to 
stay at said place (ex. | went to Japan and | stayed for 2 days). Extra 
details can be specified, such as specifying exact events that the 
writer wants to do, but this is not necessary. After the information is 
written in SCP-2260, the subject is rendered unconscious, and will 


remain unconscious until the time written down is fulfilled. Subjects 
cannot be awoken during their coma. Upon awakening, subjects 
have been shown to have exact recollections of the events in the 
coma. The entry in SCP-2260 fades immediately at the end of the 
subject's coma. 


SCP-2260 can be used to send people to fictional locations, 
locations that are not typically able to be reached, locations that no 
longer exist, and locations that do not exist yet. Subjects that are 
sent into sites existing in the past have matched historical records, 
and events seen by subjects sent into sites existing in the future 
have happened precisely as shown. 


Subjects that use SCP-2260 once a week or more have been prone 
to hallucinogenic episodes while awake, visiting places previously 
entered by the subject into SCP-2260. Lightheadedness and 
temporary amnesia have also been recorded in subjects. One 
extreme case had a subject permanently fall into a coma while 
inside their cell. Subjects have stated that visiting a location while 
awake makes the location appear distorted, and that people inside 
will begin screaming at the subject to leave.

SCP-259: The Weisenglass Spiral 


Item #: SCP-259 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: A single copy of a computer 
program capable of producing SCP-259 is to be kept on compact 
disc in the High Security Containment Vault at Site-25. As discs 
containing SCP-259 are typically destroyed during experimentation, 
additional copies may be made for approved experiments. 


Mobile Task Force Gamma-10 remains on standby to collect and 
neutralize any copies of SCP-259 found outside the Foundation. 
Unauthorized media containing SCP-259 or the means to produce it 
are to be destroyed immediately. 


Description: SCP-259 is a fractal image known as "The 
Weisenglass Spiral". A completed rendering of SCP-259 acts as an 
Einstein-Rosen Bridge, opening a portal to an unknown location. 
The locations accessed appear to vary depending on the size and 
orientation of the rendered image, and have included: 


¢ An area filled with superheated plasma (estimated 
temperature 20,000,000 Kelvin). See Incident K-259-1. 

¢ An area populated with venomous cockroaches (species 
unknown; weight approximately 2 kg). See Incident K-259-2. 

¢ Deep space, estimated to be [REDACTED] km from a black 
hole. See Experiment X-259-2. 

¢ An area possibly corresponding to the dimension opened by 
SCP- . See Experiment X-259-3. 


Foundation mathematicians are working on determining why this 
specific fractal has anomalous properties, and whether other 
similarly anomalous images exist. By O5 order, any image rendering 
related to SCP-259 experimentation must take place atleast m 
from inhabited areas.

Further testing has been requested. 


Addendum 2260-B: 

The book was initially found in the possession of Mr. James R __, 
referred to as SCP-2260-1. SCP-2260-1 had written the entry about 
going to Hawaii. It is presumed that because he specified a time that 
will end upon his demise, he will never wake up from SCP-2260. 
Testing has been done on his vitals while in the comatose state. 
SCP-2260 keeps all brain activity normal, and appears to regulate 
heart beat and other vital organs. It also regenerates cell structure 
10 times quicker than that of a normal human. SCP-2260-1 has 
been put in the Cryogenics Area in Sector C for further testing. 


Addendum 2260-C: 


As it appears that SCP-2260 causes addiction in some subjects, 
researchers are advised to exercise caution when using a subject 


for multiple tests. Multiple D-class subjects have made requests to 
re-use SCP-2260, despite risk of bodily harm. One D-class subject 
repeatedly said "Give me the book" and refused to eat, sleep, or 
even move until further testing was performed on them. 


Addendum 2260-D: 

The goal of this experiment was to test what happens when a 
subject enters a secondary SCP-2260 while inside SCP-2260. There 
were two medical personnel at hand, three security personnel, two 
research assistants, and Dr. Matthews was present to facilitate the 
experiment. 


+ Show timeline of SCP-2260 Experiment Log H-45 


Timeline of experiment: 

0 Minutes: Subject went into unconsciousness, and brain 
activity remained normal. 

4 minutes: Brain activity doubles and regulation of vital 
organs and heartbeat double as well. 

10 minutes: Subject begins to perspire heavily. 

15 minutes: Perspiration of sweat turns into perspiration 
of blood. 

25 minutes: Subject's brain activity and regulation 
doubles again, making bodily functions quadruple their 
normal speed. It is assumed that subject entered 
SCP-2260 again while inside the secondary SCP-2260. 
32 minutes: Brain begins to swell, and subject begins to 
become pale. 

35 minutes: Heart fails. Stomach lining bursts from 
excess gastric acid. 

36 minutes: Attempts were made to erase the entry from 
SCP-2260. Entry reappears each time. Medical 
personnel were attempting to revive subject by using a 
defibrillator. 

41 minutes: Subject is revived. 

50 minutes: Brain activity recedes by half. Regulation of 
vital organs halves as well. 

54 minutes: Stomach lining heals due to SCP-2260's 
normal effects. 

60 minutes: Subject awakens. Entry fades from 


SCP-2260. 


Immediately following experimentation, subject showed severe 
mental strain and could not properly respond to verbal commands or 
visual stimuli. Subject was put into psychological counselling for two 
months. An interview was conducted immediately after the two 
months expired.

Addendum 2260-E: 
Other Experiments: 


Experiment on 3/4/1 : Entry was written on a loose-leaf paper and 
inserted into SCP-2260. No effect took place. 


Experiment on 5/17/1 : Entry was written in SCP-2260, and the page 
was immediately torn out. There was no change to SCP-2260's 
normal effects. 


Experiment on 6/14/1 : A page was torn out of SCP-2260, and the 
entry was written on the torn out page. No effect took place. 


Experiment on 6/23/1 : The entry was written, and immediately 
blacked out. Words in the entry burned through the ink, and were 
visible after 9 seconds. 


Experiment on 7/15/1 : The entry was written, and the page was 
carefully burned so as to not burn SCP-2260. Once the page was 
burned away, the entry appeared on the next page. 


Experiment on 8/7/1 : An entry was written without an event 
specified, and once subject became unconscious, a secondary 
subject wrote in an event. Secondary subject also fell into 
unconsciousness, and when subjects simultaneously awoke, they 
claimed to have seen each other at the location. 


Experiment on 8/13/1 : Based on the previous experiment, two 
subjects were dedicated to simultaneously write two different 
entries. Both subjects become unconscious, and woke up at the 
times specified in the entries. When the subjects woke up, they 
claimed the locations had merged, and residents of the location 
were "glitchy".

SCP-2261: Community Policing 


Item #: SCP-2261 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The town SCP-2261 is located 
in must be continuously monitored for instances of SCP-2261-1. 
Instances are to be captured and contained for experimentation 
purposes. Instances are to be captured only after an SCP-2261 
event has taken place, and before the instance involved re- 
activates. Any video footage containing instances of SCP-2261-1 is 
to be confiscated. 


Description: SCP-2261 is an ongoing phenomenon occurring 
throughout the town of , England. When any person within the 
legal borders of the town perpetrates a form of petty crime (e.g., 
littering, shoplifting, loitering, etc) within a populated public area, a 
minimum of two instances of SCP-2261-1 will emerge from the 
crowd. Instances of SCP-2261-1 appear to be human adults wearing 
high-visibility police vests, and continuously vocalizing a loud noise 
similar to a standard British police siren. 


Anyone directly viewing an instance of SCP-2261-1 will believe it to 
be a British police car with blacked-out windows', and will behave 
accordingly to the situation. Subjects will often show surprise to the 
sudden appearance of an instance and will often, but not always, 
attempt to flee the instances under the fear of arrest for their crimes. 


If caught, the instance will transport the subject to the police 
station, which they will then enter believing to be escorted by a 
police officer. Once inside, subjects will be taken into police custody 
and be put through the regular arrest process. The instance of 
SCP-2261-1 will then place itself in a nearby car parking space and 
cease all signs of consciousness and higher brain power. Inactive 
instances will regain consciousness shortly after and continue to 
patrol 


If detained during an active state, those directly viewing an instance 
of SCP-2261-1 will describe seeing a pair of police officers exiting it 
(referred to as SCP-2261-1A). Instances of SCP-2261-1A are 
described as adult humans dressed in standard police uniforms, and 
will often express panic and alarm at those attempting to detain 
SCP-2261-1, usually describing the situation as beyond 'Their 
expertise’, before quickly fleeing from the area. SCP-2261-1A 
instances will disappear from witnesses perspectives and the effects 
of SCP-2261-1 will cease shortly after. All instances of SCP-2261-1 
taken into Foundation custody have remained in an insentient state. 


Below is a list of notable incidents involving SCP-2261 


Incident 2261-11 

Date: 22/11/2014 

Incident Report: A man was spotted by an instance of 
SCP-2261 leaving a local newsagent. The subject 
proceeded to run away from the instance which in turn 
gave chase. The subject was eventually caught by 
SCP-2261-1 and brought to the police station. 


Access Incident 2261-11 Surveillance Footage 
<Begin Log> 


<14:27> A young man in his early twenties is 
seen leaving the newsagent and entering a 
large crowd. 


<14:31> An instance of SCP-2261-1 appears 
from the crowd, a white Caucasian male 
estimated to be between the age of 30 and 35. 
SCP-2261-1 begins emitting a siren and walks 
slowly towards the subject, the subject notices 
SCP-2261-1 and proceeds to run out of the 
crowd, surrounding civilians clear away from 
SCP-2261-1. 


<14:33> SCP-2261-1 makes its way through 
the crowd and begins running towards the 
subject. The subject runs into a nearby 


alleyway occasionally looking back at 
SCP-2261-1. SCP-2261-1 runs onto a nearby 
road close by and begins following it. 


<14:38> The subject is seen running out of the 
entrance of the alleyway into another section 
of the town, pausing to catch their breath. 


<14:41> SCP-2261-1 appears from around a 
street corner and pursues the subject. The 
subject notices SCP-2261-1 and continues 
running away. 


<14:44> Subject begins slowing down, 
showing signs of exhaustion. SCP-2261-1 
ceases movement upon reaching the subject. 
The sound of car doors opening emits from 
SCP-2261-1's mouth followed by footsteps 
and an unknown voice coming from 
SCP-2261-1. 


SCP-2261-1: Alright come on don't try 
anything, seriously you've done enough. 


Subject kneels on the sidewalk and puts hands 
behind his back, a slight metal click is heard. 


Subject: This is complete crap! | didn't do 
anything what do you think you're doing!? 


SCP-2261-1: Don't give me that, we have 
several accounts of you littering in a public 
area. 


Subject: Are you serious!? 


SCP-2261-1: You'd better sort yourself out 
and work on that attitude of yours, you're 
looking at a sentence of one, possibly two 
hours prison time. 


The subject gets up and begins walking 


towards SCP-2261-1, keeping their hands 
behind their back. 


<14:46> SCP-2261-1 crouches slightly and 
forms a hoop with its arms behind its back; the 
subject then fits their legs through 
SCP-2261-1's arms. SCP-2261-1 then stands 
up and begins running in the opposite direction 
with the subject riding on its back.

Incident 2261-27 

Date: 15/12/2014 

Incident Report: During a chase between an instance of 
SCP-2261-1 and a subject who had shoplifted CDs from 
a nearby music store, the instance slipped on a spot of 
ice and began stumbling uncontrollably, emitting sounds 
similar to that of car tires screeching. The instance 
continued to stumble around until ‘crashing’ into a nearby 
tree. At this point a civilian ran over to it, the instance 
could then be heard speaking with them in an urgent 
manner, believing them to be an ambulance and claimed 
that its colleague was in dire need of medical attention. 
The subject was never detained. 


Incident 2261-39 

Date: 07/01/2015 

Incident Report: Incident took place nearby a local 
jewellers where a robbery was being committed. 
Bystanders spotted an instance of SCP-2261-1 patrolling 
the area and attempted to alert it to the robbery. Instead, 
the instance became preoccupied with an elderly woman 
smoking a cigarette in a non-smoking area and 
attempted to arrest her. 


Incident 2261-43 


Date: 26/01/2015 
Incident Report: Several men were seen walking down 
street (a street in the ). Men had left a local pub 
shortly before appearing to be heavily intoxicated. Two 
instances of SCP-2261-1 arrive and reportedly attempt to 
arrest the men for ‘driving under the influence’. After 
several minutes of arguing with the instances of 
SCP-2261-1, one of the men shoves at the air in front of 
him supposedly in an attempt to attack an instance of 
SCP-2261-1A. Several seconds pass before the other 
men manage to restrain him, the sound of car doors 
closing and a disgruntled voice originating from an 
instance of SCP-2261-1 can be heard claiming 'He's 
shoving me! He's fucking shoving me! This just got too 
real too fast, get the hell out of here!’. Both instances 
then fled the scene.

SCP-2262: The Maddening Font 


Item #: SCP-2262 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2262 is stored ina 
standard storage locker at Site-73. Any access to SCP-2262 will 
only be approved following submission of stated research aims, and 
all researchers must complete Questionnaire SCP-2262-A and 
score less than 25% beforehand. Any anomalous behaviour will 
result in psychological evaluation or administration of amnestics, at 
the approving staff member’s discretion. The attached photo may be 
observed freely, as no cognitohazardous or related effects have 
been reported or observed from viewing of the image. 


Description: SCP-2262 is a small torn piece of paper, measuring 
29mm x 20mm. Object was torn from the lower right-hand corner of 
astandard — -brand notepad, and has been written on with black 
ink. The only mark is an upper-case ‘B’. Testing indicated nothing 
anomalous in the composition or layout of the paper, and the ink has 
been confirmed as originating from a standard -brand ballpoint pen. 
Experiment SCP-2262-02 has confirmed no anomalous effects in 
the paper itself. 


Object was recovered from the desk of , a 27-year-old 
typesetter and occasional comic book artist from , Germany. 


SCP-2262’s cognitohazardous properties will be activated when any 
individual who has any interest, latent or recognized, in typesetting, 
design, comic books, or indeed any high level of aesthetic 
appreciation of typefaces or composition, looks at the item. Upon 
looking, the individual will become increasingly irritated and 
fascinated by the letter, displaying escalating hostility towards it and 
its aesthetic shortcomings, real or imagined. These feelings of 
hostility seem to be dependent largely on the individual’s preferred 
artistic or aesthetic training or inclinations, and focus on whatever 


After Incident K-259-1, 41 copies of a CD capable of generating 
SCP-259 were confiscated from .com, and a public warning 
issued that the CD, labeled “100 Fun Fractals You Can Print,” 
contains a malicious virus that will destroy the user’s computer. 

.com Claimed to have obtained the disks from a reseller's 
bankruptcy sale, and the Foundation was unable to trace the original 
producer. Whether SCP-259 was released accidentally, or 
distributed with knowledge of its anomalous properties, is under 
investigation. 


Incident K-259-2 makes it clear that SCP-259 is being used with 
malicious intent. The Foundation is working with global anti-terrorism 
forces to retrieve SCP-259 from the organization responsible for this 
incident. 


Addendum: 


Incident K-259-1 — A residence hall at University was 
destroyed by explosion/fire on //20 . Authorities were mystified that 
conditions at the center of the incident resembled the detonation of a 
small fusion-based device. Graduate student was 
completely vaporized, as were others, including several who left 
shadows imprinted on the nearest standing walls. Questioning of 
survivors indicated that had gone to his room with a CD he had 
recently ordered from .com “to play with some fractals”, leading 
to the eventual discovery of a program capable of rendering 
SCP-259 for sale on the site. 


Incident K-259-2 — / /201 : Image of SCP-259, approximately 10 m 
x 10 min size, appears on Diamond Vision screen during soccer 
game at Stadium, outside : . Approximately 60,000 
people in attendance. Survivors report a large circular anomaly 
appeared in front of the image, and venomous cockroaches "poured 
out" from it, attacking anyone they could reach. Approximately 
casualties. Considered a self-containing incident as the insects are 
unable to survive for more than two hours in Earth's atmosphere. 


The cockroaches average 2 kg in weight, and correspond to no 
known terrestrial species; several live specimens were collected by 
Foundation MTFs and classified as SCP-__. They are currently held 
at Site- in a 35% oxygen environment. The organization 


aspect of the letter the individual has most knowledge of; observed 
focuses of hostility including the font’s appearance, colour, spacing, 
‘balance’, and the relatively low score of the letter ‘B’ in Scrabble 
given its difficulty in attaching to words. 


Incident SCP-2262-1 

Subject has been described as a model worker, and 
recovered personal documents, tax returns etc. bear this 
out. For several weeks prior to Incident SCP-2262-1, 
however, the subject had been publicly and with 
increasing regularity complaining of professional 
stagnation, and speaking of a desire to ensure his 
reputation with the creation of “something profound’. 
This deepening obsession had manifested alongside a 
general disinclination to any usual work; subject had 
missed multiple deadlines, turning up late, with lax 
personal hygiene, and displaying insubordination and 
even violence to management when asked to focus on 
anything except this project. Numerous disciplinary 
procedures were in place at the time of Incident 
SCP-2262-1. 


One arrived at his desk early, neatly 
dressed, and sat down in silence to work. From 07:44 
until 14:08 (confirmed by CCTV & computer records), 
subject was noncommunicative except when directly 
addressed by the office manager or co-workers. 
Throughout this time, subject cleared the personal items 
from his desk into a small cardboard box, took out a 
notebook and pen, and began to write individual letters, 
tearing out and screwing up the pieces of paper. At 
14:08, subject opened a document on his work computer 
and briefly typed a note (though the computer was 
shortly thereafter destroyed, witnesses agreed that it 
read “Here you go, you bastards. You want profound? 
You want perfect? Take a look at this”); he then stood 
up, loudly announcing to the office at large they should 
see what he had made, then lay down silently beneath 
his desk and made no further movement or sound. 


Accounts of what happen next differ in superficial 
aspects; what is agreed upon, however, is that as each 
staff member came into visual contact with SCP-2262, 
they began to experience varied manifestations of the 
cognitohazardous effect. Over the next 2 minutes, 
exhibited behaviour escalated from expressions of 
irritation and disgust, through raised voices and 
demands for explanation, to physical violence expressed 
upon the surrounding furniture and others. The group 
then turned on , demanding an explanation; when 
none was forthcoming, the workers grabbed the subject 
en masse and dragged him in differing directions, 
eventually dislocating joints and mutilating limbs, leaving 
the subject deceased. During this time, another worker in 
an adjoining office called the police, who arrived 7 
minutes later, arresting the staff and inadvertently de- 
escalating the situation when a riot shield was placed on 
the table, covering the piece of paper. 


Addendum: Transcript of on-site interview between Researcher 
and , former work colleague and friend (presented here in 
translation from original German) 


Researcher: So, Herr , how are you feeling? 


: How do you think I’m feeling? That was fucking crazy, man! Are 
you from the police? 


Researcher: No, we're here to piece together what happened. 
We're- 


: (interrupting) I'll tell you what happened! It’s that fucking B! 
That mad bastard did it, | don’t know how he did it, but that B! 


Researcher: (withdrawing SCP-2262 from his pocket, in mylar bag) 
This letter, you mean? What's the problem with it? 


: (becoming frantic) Jesus, what’s the matter with you?! Get it 
away, you Sadist! What’s the problem?! What’s NOT the problem? 
Shit, the kerning, the composition, the little blobby thing at the 
bottom — what the FUCK is that blob doing there?! Why is it 


leaning?! And is it on the line, is it beneath, what?! 


Researcher: Please, Herr , calm down, and start from the 
beginning. 


: Okay, just...keep that monstrosity away from me, okay? So 

came in this morning; he was smart, he'd shaved, looked like 
my friend again, you know? But he wasn’t talking or anything. Still, 
that's fair, | thought, job’s hanging in the balance, leave him to it. 
He sat down and started scribbling. Just scribbling, over and over 
and then tearing off these little pieces. | look over, and every piece 
of paper he’s ripping off, he’s eating them! Just eating little bits of 
paper all day... 


Researcher: | see. And what happened next? 


: [haltingly] Well, he suddenly stopped and said “Hey, you 
people, come and look at what I’ve made!” By the time we got there, 
he was lying down, and on the desk was that letter. 

That little bit of paper. It didn’t even make sense at first, like none of 
us could process what we were seeing for a few seconds. Every 
single bit of it was just so wrong. Everything. It was so ugly, we 
couldn't believe it. And, um, | guess we all got pretty mad about it. 
We were trying to figure it out, and | think someone started pushing, 
and then we... 


At this point, abruptly bursts into tears, and his speech becomes 
incoherent apart from what were believed to be mumbled apologies 
and demands for explanation. Following this interview, amnesiacs 
are administered to both workers and police, and a cover story 
involving a workplace suicide is put into place. No media attention 
has been garnered at this time.

SCP-2263: The Skeleton Gallery 


Item #: SCP-2263 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2263 is to be kept in 
standard safe object storage at Site-63 with the exception of 
SCP-2263-34, which is to be kept in highly explosive materials 
storage and SCP-2263-62, which is to be kept in radioactive 
materials storage. Due to potential as of yet undiscovered dangers, 
no experimentation is to be done on any instance of SCP-2263 
without express permission from Site-63 administration. 


Description: SCP-2263 is comprised of 62 anatomically accurate, 
identical sculptures of a human skeleton, all of which are made out 
of anomalous materials. Each skeleton measures 190 cm tall, and 
has a mass of 11 kg, regardless of composition. Each skeleton is 
held together with silver wire, and mounted on a 5 cm thick lithium 
carbide disk, with a radius of 0.3 meters. Every instance of 
SCP-2263 has a descriptive tag affixed to its third left rib. Each tag 
is written in Dutch, with the same handwriting. Below are a selection 
of individual instances of SCP-2263, with a translation of their 
respective tags.

SCP-2263 was discovered in a warehouse in , Ohio, which was 
registered to a Mister Johann __. Upon research it has been 
discovered that no such person had ever lived in the town. The 
Foundation first became aware of SCP-2263 after local authorities 
investigated a break-in report and discovered SCP-2263's 
anomalous properties. Objects were recovered by Mobile Task 
Force Omicron-3 ("Spooky Scary") over the course of 13 hours. All 
62 instances were successfully recovered, and MTF-O3 suffered 
two casualities, three instances of severe burns, one instance of 
hypothermia, one severed arm, and one instance of radiation 
poisoning. 


At the warehouse in which SCP-2263 was recovered; a mattress, 
approximately 3 months worth of canned food and bottled water, 
and various sculptural tools were found, as well as 62 letters (one 
for each instance) written in Dutch and addressed to an individual 
named only as "Jacob", explaining how long each piece would take 
to complete, and how much it would cost to produce (each instance 
was always billed at exactly $543.21 USD). No explanation is ever 
given as to how an instance of SCP-2263 is created, or how 
materials are acquired. Only one reply was found at the scene, also 
in Dutch, addressed to the warehouse. See below for a transcript.

My dearest Johann, excellent work, | am very 
much anticipating the completion of the 
project. If all goes according to plan | will be in 
the states to personally pick them up very 
soon. | will have your money plus a little extra 
for your hard work. The likeness is astounding. 
Sincerely, Jacob 


Footnotes 
1. This individual's identity is not currently known, but is believed to 
be an associate of the creator of SCP-2263, as several letters 


later claimed responsibility for the image. Mass application of 
amnestics necessary to partially suppress public knowledge of this 
event. 


Experiment X-259-1 — A battery-powered computer was set up in 
an uninhabited area of the Desert to render an image of the 
Weisenglass Spiral, with remote cameras and sensors set up to 
monitor the results. Foundation personnel observed at a safe 
distance. Upon completion of the image, a circular area appeared in 
front of the computer, approximately 1 m in diameter, emitting a 
blinding white light followed by a ball of superheated plasma. The 
plasma dissipated after expanding to an area of cubic meters. 
Given the interference provided by the building in Incident K-259-1, 
this is consistent with the damage observed. 


Dr. considers it interesting that SCP-259 took effect without 
direct human observation. 


Experiment X-259-2 — Experiment X-259-1 re-created, except the 
size of the rendered fractal was doubled. Upon completion of image, 
a black portal approximately 3 m in diameter appeared, and all 
matter within mwas pulled into it. This is consistent with an 
otherwise unexplained incident in , _, where an apartment 
building was described by observers as imploding and disappearing, 
leavinga mdeep hole.

SCP-2264: In the Court of Alagadda 


Item #: SCP-2264 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to the unavoidably public 
nature of the building housing SCP-2264-A, security measures are 
to focus on preventing civilian access to the anomaly's entrance. 
The Foundation is to cooperate with the government of the United 
Kingdom in concealing the existence of SCP-2264-A. A hidden 
passage to SCP-2264-A has been constructed and remains its only 
means of access. The original entrance to the room where 
SCP-2264-A is located has been walled over, ensuring that only 
authorized personnel have access to SCP-2264-A. Operatives are 
to be reassigned and replaced monthly due to the threat of 
psychological addiction to SCP-2264-B. 


Description: SCP-2264-A is a door composed of iron located within 
a hidden chamber beneath Martin Tower, a part of the Tower of 
London.! The gateway cannot be unlocked through traditional 
means, requiring a highly ritualized process. Attached to SCP-2264- 
A is acomplex apparatus composed of alchemical tools such as 
alembics, retorts, and a crucible. 


Based on journals found within the hidden chamber, SCP-2264-A2 
is presumably the creation of Henry Percy (27 April 1564 —5 
November 1632), 9th Earl of Northumberland, an English aristocrat, 
alchemist, and long-term prisoner within the Tower of London. 
Despite his incarcerated status, the Earl maintained a degree of 
influence, said to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle and allowed access to 
books and research material. He was known as The Wizard Earl 
due to his extensive library and interests in the scientific and occult. 


It is considered possible that others within Percy's circle of 
associates were involved in the creation of SCP-2264-A, including 
John Dee, famed alchemist and court astrologer of Queen Elizabeth. 


The School of Night,3 of which Henry Percy was supposedly 
member to, may have also had involvement. 


Journal of Henry Percy, The Wizard Earl:

A Foundation alchemist was consulted. The instructions are roughly 
comparable with the magnum opus; a four-part process employed in 
the creation of the mythical philosopher's stone. Replication of this 
procedure required [REDACTED].4 


Through still undetermined means, a mechanism within SCP-2264-A 
responds to the completed solution, causing it to unlock and open - 
allowing access to SCP-2264-B. 


SCP-2264-B is an extradimensional city which does not correspond 
to any known location, earthly or otherwise. Objects that originate 
from within SCP-2264-B will dematerialize if brought through 
SCP-2264-A. Such objects have been later found returned to the 
site of their initial removal. 


Those who enter SCP-2264-B report having all personal belongings 
removed and their clothes replaced. Manifested outfits are said to 
resemble those worn at masquerade balls, most especially those 
associated with the Carnival of Venice, and will dematerialize upon 
exit of SCP-2264-B. Masks cannot be removed while inside 
SCP-2264-B but the rest of the attire can be discarded if one 
chooses to do so. The majority of SCP-2264-B inhabitants are 
dressed and adorned in a similar fashion; agents have reported a 
somewhat organic quality to their costumes, frequently describing it 
as "chitinous". The most common inhabitants of SCP-2264-B are 
roughly humanoid and have since have been classified as 
SCP-2264-1. 


The sky has been described as yellow and containing an 
indeterminate number of black stars, corresponding with no known 
or even hypothesized constellations. Buildings are shaped in such a 
manner as to suggest them being carved from a single seamless 
material. Black, white, yellow, and red are the only colors to 
reportedly occur within SCP-2264-B. Architecture is non-euclidean 
and the normal laws of gravity do not apply,® thus inhabitants can be 
observed as climbing a stairway upside-down, but based on their 
own gravity source, they are climbing normally. 


The city has been described as having the odor of "dried flowers 
with a hint of mold", or a scent "not unlike that of old books". The 
actual size of the city has been difficult to measure but it appears to 
be located on an island, surrounded by a black ocean, the 
composition of the liquid unknown but described as appearing more 
viscous than water. 


Operatives have reported a hypnagogic malaise while exploring 
SCP-2264-B, with difficulty estimating time and space. Although 
SCP-2264-B is a tangible location and not considered to be an 
actual dream, those who had a history of lucid dreaming have 
shown far greater self-control and attention to detail than those who 
did not. Operatives are to be reassigned and replaced monthly due 
to the threat of psychological addiction to SCP-2264-B. Initial efforts 
at exploration resulted in eight AWOL operatives with those that 
returned having difficulty describing what they had observed ina 
coherent and/or detailed manner. 


+ Exploration Report / / 
: Dr. Calixto Narvaez (1st Deployment) 


The almost hypnagogic nature of SCP-2264-B 
has led many to observe it as a dream or 
hallucination, failing to fully recognize its inherit 
verisimilitude. A lucid dreamer and an 
experienced user of hallucinogenics, | (Dr. 
Calixto Narvaez), was well chosen for this 
mission. My comrades quickly surrendered to 
the anomaly, engaging in the decadent 
pleasures of the city; most especially within the 
palace. 


Tempting as it was, | did not join the others in 
their rapturous orgy. | would suggest 
interviewing those that previously entered 
SCP-2264-B again; it is unlikely they've gone 
into all the details. When allowed a chance to 
directly control a dream, so many claim they 
would fly or visit the stars; those people are 
liars. Most choose to surrender to the ecstatic 
delirium of sexual pleasure. 


Again, this is not a dream, but | am able to 
understand why most are unable to perceive 
the difference. | am reminded of the legend of 
the Hassassins, how their leader supposedly 
drugged and led his recruits into his castle; 
within was a pleasure garden that rivaled any 
imagined paradise - the individuals truly 
believed they were offered a taste of the 
divine. SCP-2264-B works in a somewhat 
similar way but | do not believe that is the 
reason for its splendor. | doubt it is intended to 
be a trap. It is simply a city (although certainly 
a majestic city unlike anything | had ever 
before encountered) but one that happens to 
exist outside baseline reality and does not 
entirely conform to the physical rules we are 


used to. 


| have made significant discoveries while 
exploring SCP-2264-B: 


1. Universal translation of language - while 
most of the agents perceive the inhabitants as 
speaking English, | heard them in my native 
tongue of Spanish. Even those of my team, 
when communicating with me directly, 
appeared to have been speaking Spanish 
while within the anomaly. | have discovered 
that this is also applied to written language but 
not quite as accurately. 


Written words initially appear as alien shapes; 
most of the symbols having a somewhat spiral- 
like pattern. If one continues to directly 
observe the symbols, they will begin to blur 
and alter until some level of translation has 
manifested. However, there do appear to be 
limitations and it seems that some words 
native to SCP-2264-B have no equivalent in 
any human language. The words appear to 
move on paper and prolonged exposure can 
easily result in nausea and headache. 


2. The true name of SCP-2264-B is Alagadda, 
a city-state said to border the Nevermeant.§ | 
was able to gather much of this information 
from the Wandsman of Kul-Manas, a scholar 
and foreigner like myself. They wore a beaked 
mask and exquisite robes cloaked their 
hunchbacked form; their hands were scaly 
(more avian than reptilian) with black talons. 
They unfurled a scroll before me, said it was a 
map of the multiverse - layer after layer of 
endless spirals - | sense an oncoming 
migraine just thinking about it now. 


Regardless, | was pleased to meet a fellow 


intellectual within. | asked them about the 
nature of their research. "What is the nature of 
all that is?" they asked, | assumed rhetorically. 
"Just for a start," they noted. 


3. There is a specific power structure within 
SCP-2264-B, involving entities that, based on 
description, could easily be considered some 
of the more dangerous reality benders known 
to the Foundation. The Wandsman of Kul- 
Manas warned of individuals that should not 
even be approached, less we draw 
undesirable attention to our reality. 


There are (or were) four Masked Lords who 
directly oversee SCP-2264-B: 


The Black Lord, Wearer of the Anguished 
Mask 

The White Lord, Wearer of the Diligent Mask 
The Yellow Lord, Wearer of the Odious Mask 
The Red Lord, Wearer of the Mirthful Mask 


They were said to be the chief advisors to the 
King of Alagadda. They continued to warn that 
| not be fooled by their names; each just as 
terrible as the other. | have seen the Masked 
Lords, always at a distance, all except the 
Wearer of the Anguished Mask. | was informed 
that the Black Lord was the victim of a political 
struggle some time ago (the reason never 
known, if reason existed at all) and cast into 
some dreadful dimensional backwater. It would 
only be a matter of time before they returned. 


The insidious glamour of the city-state 
disguises a dreadful truth, one the Wandsman 
had difficulty expressing in words. They stated 
that most outsiders came to this place to seek 
a boon from the King. They refused to speak 
anymore of this entity and suggested | avoid 


the Ambassador of Alagadda as well, before 
politely taking their leave of me. 


| decided it time to report back, gathered the 
others (pulling a few from the writhing mound 
of masked transdimensional entities); the first 
door we entered was the one to return us to 
baseline reality. | suspect that SCP-2264-B is 
a dimensional nexus, connected to countless 
worlds across the multiverse. Every door used 
within SCP-2264-B has connected directly to 
SCP-2264-A. If there are other gateways like 
SCP-2264-A, | suspect them to be currently 
sealed. 


Dr. Calixto Narvaez was commended for his initiative. A 
psychological evaluation has determined it safe for him 
to reenter in the near future, although it has been 
requested that he use a more professional tone with 
regards to his reports. Future operatives will be screened 
for higher than normal levels of activity in the parietal 
lobes while in a state of altered consciousness (sleep or 
otherwise). 


The "Wandsman of Kul-Manas" has since been 
classified as SCP-2264-2 and is considered an 
invaluable source of information. The "Masked Lords of 
Alagadda" have been classified as SCP-2264-3. 


+ Exploration Report / / 
: Dr. Calixto Narvaez (2nd Deployment) 


| believe SCP-2264-2 is the only entity we 
might truly trust in Alagadda and sought them 
immediately. The city contains thousands, if 
not millions, but SCP-2264-2 stands out and 
appears to have a strictly scholarly interest in 
SCP-2264-B - most especially the palace 
library. 


The collection was impressive and could have 


been infinite in size for all | knew (there was no 
visible end to the room, the corridor stretching 
long into the horizon). | wandered the 
seemingly endless hall, Agent Cromwell and 
Dr. Yu at my side, in search of SCP-2264-2. | 
scanned through a few grimoires and scrolls, 
the alien symbols failing to translate (leading 
me to suspect that no earthly translation was 
possible). 


In time we found SCP-2264-2, affable as 
before and expressing concern about our well- 
being. | asked that they elaborate and | write 
their response as best as my memory allows: 


"The Ambassador of Alagadda will soon return 
from Adytum and only the mad shall remain. | 
suggest you leave posthaste, for | intend the 
same." 


| thanked them for their warning and declared 
that we would not linger for long. | asked them 
about Adytum. They replied: 


"A terrible city, filled with equally terrible 
people. It is said that the Grand Karcist of 
Adytum serves the designs of an elder being, 
a horror thought to rival even the Hanged King 
of Alagadda. Craw! (SCP-2264-2 made a 
sound not unlike a crow) | should not speak of 
them. Not here." 


| asked about who they were (SCP-2264-2), 
wanting to know more about them. They 
replied: 


"lam the Wandsman of Kul-Manas. A scholar, 
as you undoubtedly know. | am a walker of the 
astral plane, a sailor of the celestial sea, and a 
spelunker of the planar deep." 


SCP-2264-2 noted something about our 
"aura"; declaring it rare across the multiverse 
but admitted to having encountered similar 
during previous visits to SCP-2264-B. They 
said something along the lines of: 


"The Deathless Merchant of London; driven by 
greed and black ambition. There was another; 
a stranger in a strange land. It appeared as 
though they did not know where they were, 
smelling of fear. | cannot imagine how one 
might accidentally stumble upon Alagadda, | 
did not believe such a thing was possible. 
They vanished soon after yet | never 
witnessed them leave. Simply gone in a blink." 


They would continue to reference the 
"Karcists" and "Clavigers" of Adytum, stating 
that they "reeked of decay and embryonic 
fluid". That was the extent of people 
encountered with a similar "aura" to our own; | 
suspect SCP-2264-2 is able to sense a 
person's "dimensional neighborhood". 
SCP-2264-2 turned their head completely 
around (somewhat like an owl) and cawed, 
declaring: 


"| sense the Ambassador of Alagadda has 
returned. | take my leave of this place and | 
suggest you do the same. Flee; do not delay. 
Perhaps | will pay your realm a visit in the 
future." 


SCP-2264-2 exited the nearest door. The door 
refused to budge but | suspect it connected 
SCP-2264-2 to their native dimension. We 
exited the library, walking quickly (not wishing 
to bring too much attention upon ourselves by 
running). We found an unlocked door and 
returned home. We never saw the 
ambassador or their king, but | feel it best that 


SCP-260: The Tracking Stone 


Item #: SCP-260 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-260's current location and 
target are to be tracked by Foundation personnel. The current target 
is to be relocated between and  ' (due to the nature of the 
intervening terrain), wnenever SCP-260 approaches its vicinity. 


Description: SCP-260 appears to be a small clastic rock whose 
exact composition is unknown. It possesses phenocryst-like 
formations that identify it as a form of igneous breccia. On one of the 
larger and smoother portions of the surface is inscribed the name of 
a human, transliterated into Cyrillic, which changes over time at well- 
defined intervals. SCP-260 maintains continuous motion along a 
geodesic across all objects that stand between it and the individual 
currently named on the stone (hereafter the "target"). Its speed ina 
vacuum across a frictionless surface has been estimated at 
approximately 1.22 centimeters per second, but it usually moves 
much slower than this due to atmospheric and surface friction. (An 
accurate estimate is impossible, as SCP-260 is known to "stick" to 
the surface of whatever object it is currently located on, preventing 
its deposition in pure vacuum.) 


SCP-260 does not experience noticeable effects from erosion by the 
objects that it moves across. Tests have demonstrated that the 
stone possesses extremely high compressive and elastic strength, 
surpassing pressures exerted upon it by gunfire and tension 
presses. Due to the stone's continuous motion, serious 
experimentation for thermal or chemical sensitivity has not been 
conducted; however, it is doubtful that such experimentation would 
be successful, as the stone's composition suggests that it has 
already experienced high-temperature conditions. 


Upon surface contact with the target, all attempts to remove or 


we not seek them out. 


Although not directly encountered, the Ambassador of 
Alagadda and the King of Alagadda have been 
respectively classified as SCP-2264-4 and SCP-2264-5. 


+ INFORMATION RESTRICTED TO LEVEL 4 PERSONNEL OR ABC 


The O5 Council voted 10 to 3 in support of sending 
Mobile Task Force Psi-9 ("Abyss Gazers") into 
SCP-2264-B. The goal of the operation was to locate 
SCP-2264-4 and SCP-2264-5 and calculate the level of 
threat they represented to humanity, Earth, and local 
dimensional space. Twelve agents, trained in hand-to- 
hand combat and Counter Occult Stratagems (COS), 
entered SCP-2264-A on //  at0800. 


One agent returned alive; the rest are presumed dead or 
otherwise irretrievable. 


Interviewed: Agent Alexander Papadopoulos 
Interviewer: Dr. Laxmi Narang 


Foreword: Agent Papadopoulos was found to 
be in critical condition upon their exit of 
SCP-2264, losing consciousness soon after. A 
physical examination revealed fractured bones 
throughout the entirety of their body and 
extensive internal bleeding. After three weeks 
of hospitalization, Agent Papadopoulos was 
deemed healthy enough for interview. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Laxmi Narang: | know it might be difficult 
but please tell me what you are able to 
remember. 


Agent Alexander Papadopoulos: The city 
was remarkable. Command prepped us for it 
as best they could but words fail to do it 


justice. We all had the appearance of 
harlequins or something out of a 17th century 
masquerade. Wasn't exactly the same but 
close enough. Couldn't take the masks off, 
hard as we tried. We had a mission to 
complete but the details were quite vague. 


Dr. Laxmi Narang: Vague? 


Agent Alexander Papadopoulos: Find 
SCP-2264-4 and -5; get an estimate on their 
threat level. We knew they were important to 
SCP-2264 but we had no idea what they 
looked like or how to locate them. 


Dr. Laxmi Narang: Go on. 


Agent Alexander Papadopoulos: Right. 
Well. We found the palace. Don't know how 
long it took. Time was kind of impossible to tell 
in that place. The city is full of people, 
especially that palace, but it didn't feel like 
being in a busy city in our world. There was 
something different about it but | don't know 
how else to describe it. Not important | guess. 


Things blurred a lot. Everything seemed to 
follow a sort of dream logic. 


Dr. Laxmi Narang: Dream logic? 


Agent Alexander Papadopoulos: Yeah. | 
mean. It wasn't a dream, I'm certain of that. 
And | have the scars to prove it. It was all real 
but have you ever noticed how dreams rush 
through the details? You end up one place but 
don't really recall how? It was like that. | 
remember the masquerade; the music and the 
dancing... oh, and the fucking. All with their 
masks on, of course. Still adorned with their 
masks. Seeing some of them nude made us 


aware of just how much was an elaborate 
costume. Their skin was like porcelain. You 
could sort of tell those were the natives. You 
know, SCP-2264-1. But the more you stared, 
the less human everyone seemed; some had 
too many limbs, some had too few - like, snake 
people - was similar to monsters in an old 
fantasy comic | read as a kid. 


Sorry. Rambling. Head hurts trying to 
remember. [distracted] | can't move my arms 
or legs. What's wrong with them? 


Dr. Laxmi Narang: The numbness is just a 
side effect of your medication. Please focus on 
my questions. 


Agent Alexander Papadopoulos: Okay. If 
you say so. | remember having to pull Agent 
Maher away from some woman; wasn't 
attacking him, quite the opposite. Couldn't 
blame him. She had curves in all the right 
places - made it easy to ignore the tentacles. 


So, the twelve of us stick together. Hard to not 
look like you're out for trouble with that many. 
Anyway, we wandered around the palace and 
it was like a labyrinth; | honestly wouldn't have 
been surprised if we walked into a minotaur or 
something. We spent most of the time 
descending the stairs, | think? | remember 
feeling like we were traveling deeper and 
deeper... 


And then, somehow, just when we thought we 
had reached the bottom, we're back outside. It 
looked like we were in exactly the same spot 
as when we first entered SCP-2264-B. Hell, 
we could all see the palace in the distance. 


But something was different. Everything was 


dark, drained of color. Like, we could see and 
all but it was a hazy gray twilight. The streets 
were empty and the buildings looked... 
ruined? Yeah. Was like the whole city was 
abandoned long ago. Desolate and silent; not 
a sound but our own footsteps. 


We entered this iteration of the palace. 
Everything was identical, architecturally 
speaking. 


That was when we started to hear the 
whispers. It spoke in a language | had never 
heard before. | could feel it slithering into my 
ear, penetrating my brain... 


We... [hesitates, his eyes grow damp with 
tears] 


Dr. Laxmi Narang: Please continue. 


Agent Alexander Papadopoulos: We 
destroyed ourselves. 


Dr. Laxmi Narang: ...What? 


Agent Alexander Papadopoulos: We didn't 
want to but we had no choice. The 
Ambassador of Alagadda - it found us. It didn't 
have a face; no mouth, nose, or eyes. | 
thought it was wearing a skintight outfit and... 
high heels? That is what it looked like at first 
but no... that was its body. Its flesh was black. 
It stood tall, lithe and androgynous, and so.. 
SO... 


Dr. Laxmi Narang: Please, this information is 
important. Pace yourself. We can stop if... 


Agent Alexander Papadopoulos: 
[interrupting] It stood so damn proud. Just 


radiating arrogance. | couldn't understand a 
word it said and yet every syllable dripped with 
narcissistic venom. It brought a hand to where 
a mouth should have been... and it laughed 
and laughed... and then we destroyed 
ourselves for its amusement. 


Bones were shattered, flesh and organs 
ruptured. All for its amusement, we ruined 
ourselves in body and mind. And the whole 
time, we screamed and begged yet only 
silence parted our lips. I'm so sorry, | tried to 
say, I'm so sorry... their eyes pleaded for 
mercy and asked for forgiveness. 


In the end, | was the only one left alive - 
surrounded by the corpses of my ravaged 
friends and comrades. | understand now. The 
Ambassador needed a witness, one to deliver 
its message. To tell you this... and... [pauses; 
begins to hyperventilate] 


Dr. Laxmi Narang: Please continue. 


Agent Alexander Papadopoulos: | watched 
the ceiling move as it dragged my broken body 
from room to room. Eventually we stopped and 
it lifted me into the air, held me up before the 
throne. There | saw the King. It was anchored 
in place, hallowed bonds around its corpse-like 
hands and throat - its face hidden beneath a 
veil. 


Impish creatures crawled all over it, caressing 
its twitching body as if intending comfort while 
others pulled the tethers even tighter. The King 
trembled and quivered and | saw pale tendrils 
slither in and out of its tattered robes. | looked 
on as the veil was lifted... [a change in tone 
suggesting lucidity] | want to die. | can't live 
with what I've done. Please kill me. End this. | 


can't feel my legs. | can't feel my arms. Not like 
this. Not like this. Please, I'm begging you... 


Dr. Laxmi Narang: You know | am not 
allowed to do anything of the sort. Please tell 
me what you saw. 


Agent Alexander Papadopoulos: 
[emotionless] A god shaped hole. The barren 
desolation of a fallen and failed creation. You 
see the light of long dead stars. Your existence 
is nothing but an echo of a dying god's 
screams. The unseen converges. Surrounds 
you. And it tightens like a noose. 


<End Log> 


Operations involving SCP-2264 are suspended until 
further notice. The agent's request for termination has 
been denied. Due to the considerable damage suffered, 
amputation of both arms and legs was deemed 
necessary, and subject is no longer able to perform most 
biological functions without the aid of life support 
systems. He is to be restrained for his own protection 
(despite his loss of limbs, suicide attempts have been 
made) and thoroughly interrogated for all possible 
information related to SCP-2264. Due to his contact with 
SCP-2264-4 and SCP-2264-5, he is to be quarantined 
and carefully observed for signs of anomaly. Agent 
Papadopoulos has refused food and water, requiring the 
use of feeding tube. 


Addendum: SCP-2264 was discovered accidentally during the 
refurbishment of Martin Towerin / / .The Foundation was 
contacted by representatives of the Crown due to the suspicion of a 
potentially anomalous artifact based on the writings found within, 
since attributed to Henry Percy, 9th Earl of Northumberland. 
Discovered among his notes was an unsent letter, intended to be 
received by Christopher Marlowe, famed poet and playwright. The 
letter is dated 30 May 1593, the day of Christopher Marlowe's 
unsolved murder.

SCP-2265: Dinner with Andrew 


Item #: SCP-2265 
Object Class: Neutralized (formerly Euclid) 


Special Containment Procedures: As of 24 Oct 2011, SCP-2265 
is considered neutralized. The former containment area of 
SCP-2265 has been deemed free of anomalous activity, and has 
been approved to be renovated and sold to private investors by 
Simon & Chesterson Properties, a Foundation front. Masahiro Goto 
and Andrew Verit (formerly SCP-2265-A and SCP-2265-B) are 
currently being held in the low security humanoid containment wing 
of Site 68; their possible release is being reviewed by the Ethics 
Committee. 


View former Containment Procedures 


SCP-2265 is to be contained on-site by security and 
researchers from the nearby Site 68. The restaurant 
surrounding SCP-2265 has been closed, and a false 
cover story implemented about a termite infestation. A 
team of researchers shall monitor SCP-2265 by closed 
circuit camera at all times; should any unusual activity be 
observed, it must be reported to the Site Director as 
soon as possible. 


Description: SCP-2265 was a localized two hour time loop affecting 
a twenty-square meter area of Mario's, a defunct Italian restaurant 
located in , California. SCP-2265 was impermeable and self- 
containing; no items could enter or exit the time loop, including 
SCP-2265-A and SCP-2265-B. 


SCP-2265-A and SCP-2265-B are Masahiro Goto and Andrew Verit, 
history professors at the University of Kyoto and the University of 
California- —_, respectively, at the time SCP-2265 manifested. 
During the time period in which SCP-2265 was active, neither 


SCP-2265-A nor SCP-2265-B were observed to age through the 
iterations of the loop. Both SCP-2265-A and SCP-2265-B were 
unaware of any changes in the environment surrounding SCP-2265, 
perceiving it as being unchanged from its state at the beginning of 
the time loop. SCP-2265-A demonstrated an awareness of the time 
loop, its previous iterations, and its inability to exit it; SCP-2265-B 
did not. 


The dinner table they were sitting at, and the immediate area 
surrounding it, became SCP-2265 on 13 Jan 1991, as Goto and 
Verit were eating dinner at Mario's. At the time, Professor Goto was 
visiting the United States to give a series of lectures; he and 
Professor Verit were eating out to discuss said lectures and 
Professor Goto's remaining plans for his time in the United States. 
After the anomalous effects of SCP-2265 were noted by employees 
of the restaurant, Foundation agents were dispatched and Class B 
Amnesiacs were administered to all involved; Mario's was 
subsequently closed. SCP-2265-A and SCP-2265-B were reported 
as having died in a car crash. 


Addendum 2265: Cessation of Anomalous Activity: On 24 Oct 
2011, SCP-2265 did not reset at the end of its normal loop, and both 
SCP-2265-A and SCP-2265-B immediately became aware of the 
surrounding environment. Shortly thereafter, SCP-2265-A began 
laughing and crying hysterically, and repeatedly hugged surrounding 
Foundation personnel. Both SCP-2265-A and SCP-2265-B were 
taken into custody; after the items inside the former SCP-2265 were 
removed, the containment area was subsequently abandoned. One 
week later, Masahiro Goto and Andrew Verit were declassified as 
SCP-2265-A and SCP-2265-B after tests revealed they retained no 
anomalous properties. 


Addendum 2265-2: Interview Log: 
SCP-2265-A Interview Log 


[This interview took place four days after 
SCP-2265-A's recovery from SCP-2265. 
SCP-2265-A is being questioned on its 
experiences inside SCP-2265]. 


relocate either the target or the SCP become futile. SCP-260 begins 
to burrow into the target's body in the direction of the chest at a 
speed of approximately 0.5 centimeters per second. All organs 
along the SCP's path are pulverized. As soon as the target's vital 
signs cease, the stone immediately exits the body via the shortest 
route (whereupon the name of a new target appears on the same 
space as the previous name), and recommences motion. Typically, 
the new target is the person closest to the stone at the time at which 
it exits the body, but some variations have occurred (consult the 
addendum for further information). 


Addendum: Test Log 


The following scenarios were constructed as potential preventative 
measures to contain SCP-260. 


Scenario 1: SCP-260 was lured into a cubic concrete cell and locked 
inside. 

Result: Upon reaching the edge of the floor and climbing halfway up 
the wall, SCP-260 ceased motion. Observers described it as 
"flickering" for several seconds between its natural coloration anda 
"photographic negative", after which it vanished. The current target 
expired shortly thereafter. An autopsy revealed the stone's presence 
in the target's chest, having punctured the aorta and the pulmonary 
artery. Several seconds after discovery the name of Dr. , who 
performed the autopsy, appeared on the stone and he was 
immediately evacuated to a more secure location. 


Scenario 2: SCP-260 was lured into a hollow, open-ended rotational 
cylinder mounted on a fixed stand (hereafter referred to as a "gerbil 
wheel") with its current target placed outside the cylinder, with the 
aim of allowing the SCP to continue its motion while simultaneously 
retarding it with minimal effort. 

Result: After 57 hours and 22 minutes, SCP-260 ceased motion. 
Events that followed matched very closely to the results of Scenario 
1. An autopsy was not performed, and observation of the corpse 
was ordered for the following 72 hours. Complaints about the 
deceased ensued. 9 hours into the observation, perforations were 
first observed in the corpse's chest, followed by the full emergence 
of SCP-260 over the following hour. After remaining still for 47 
minutes, the SCP began moving towards one of the observers, who 


Doctor Selvece: Good evening, SCP-2265-A. 


SCP-2265-A: Ah, good evening, doctor. Why 
are you still calling me that? 


Doctor Selvece: It's a formality, | assure you; 
we must confirm you are no longer anomalous 
in any way. 


SCP-2265-A: "Anomalous." | suppose that's 
one way to describe it. 


Doctor Selvece: Indeed. Based on our 
observations, we gathered that you were 
aware of SCP-2265 during your time in it, and 
yet your behavior became remarkably more 
subdued over the years. Care to explain that? 


SCP-2265-A: Well, | did not feel that way at 
first. When | first realized what was going on... 
unease, then panic as | realized we were 
trapped. | tried to scream to the people outside 
Our..."area"... but none noticed us. | did 
everything | could, for a long time. Every time | 
told Andrew what was happening, he would 
confirm it, become alarmed, and... forget. 
"Lather, rinse, repeat," as you Say. 


Doctor Selvece: And after a period of time, 
you gave up attempting to break the loop? 


SCP-2265-A: What was the point? We were 
trapped there. Nothing | did could stop Andrew 
from forgetting after the two hours passed, or 
the process from repeating itself. It was a cruel 
thing, but the universe did not care for my 
misery. 


Doctor Selvece: What did you decide to do 
after that? 


SCP-2265-A: Adapt. The human mind is an 
amazing thing; we can get used to almost 
anything, given time. If the loop was going to 
trap me, then | may as well find a way to cope 
with it. 


Doctor Selvece: How were your experiences 
after that? 


SCP-2265-A: The first half-hour was the 
hardest part. Eating the same damn meal over 
and over again drove me mad. And Andrew 
would always talk about his dissertation 
revisions, and ask me about my itinerary for 
the rest of the week. Over, and over, and over. 
After that, however, | decided to use the 
opportunity the time loop gave me to better 
myself. 


Doctor Selvece: How so? 


SCP-2265-A: Professor Verit is a remarkably 
intelligent and thoughtful man. Those dinner 
conversations we had, the hundreds, the 
thousands of them... | learned so much. We 
talked about poetry, literature, nature... even 
as time kept resetting itself, | never ran out of 
things to ask him. | talked so much that | 
almost completely lost my accent, something 
that he began to pick up on. | was beginning to 
accept my fate. If this were the afterlife, then | 
suppose there were worse fates to be given. 
Then the loop stopped. All at once... and here 
we are. 


Doctor Selvece: We did everything we could 
to free you from there, you know. We would 
have done so sooner if- 


SCP-2265-A: Oh, | know, Doctor. But to be 
frank, | do not regret it. 


Doctor Selvece: Really? 


SCP-2265-A: Yes. | had no wife or children 
before | became trapped, and my parents were 
long dead. | was alone, still searching for life's 
answers despite devoting my life to answering 
questions of the past. Those two decades | 
was in that room changed me. | feel much 
more..."whole," so to speak. Everything feels 
different to me now, as if | can appreciate 
things better. That time with Andrew... well, it 
made me who | am now. | do not wish to be 
back there again, but were | given the 
opportunity to erase the last 20 years, | do not 
know if | would. 


Doctor Selvece: Thank you, SCP-2265-A, 
that will be all.

SCP-2266: For the World to Dictate Her Death 


Item #: SCP-2266 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2266-1 is to be kept in 
Storage Unit 40 at Site-209. Storage Units 41 - 45 are reserved for 
newly discovered instances of SCP-2266-1 if and when additional 
space is required. MTF Upsilon-18 ("Black Noise") is tasked with 
tracking SCP-2266-2 and in pre-emptively securing all newly 
discovered instances of SCP-2266-1. 


SCP-2266-2 is held on-site in standard humanoid containment suite 
and is tagged with GPS monitoring tags. When new instances of 
SCP-2266-1 are activated, SCP-2266-2 is to be located as soon as 
possible and brought under control. Affected individuals exposed to 
SCP-2266-1 and/or SCP-2266-2 are to be given Class-C Amnestics 
and released. 


Use of force is not authorized when re-containing SCP-2266-2, 
unless subject has become demonstrably hostile to affected 
individuals and/or Foundation personnel. Non-vital personnel no 
longer able to perceive SCP-2266-2 are to be re-assigned. 


Description: SCP-2266-1 refers to a series of -brand DVD-Rs 
commonly appearing in video stores and online third-party retailers 
under the guise of a copy of the now-lost 1921 film "Humor Risk" 
starring the Marx Brothers. Contents of the disk contain snippets of 
the film interspersed with added content variously described as 
disturbing pornographic imagery and/or seemingly arbitrary footage 
of men engaging in silent dialogue with one another whilst an 
unidentified animal crosses the screen. 


Viewing SCP-2266-1 in its entirety causes SCP-2266-2 to manifest 
in the immediate vicinity of the individual. SCP-2266-2 is 
a 27 year old woman of average height and build. The manifestation 


of SCP-2266-2 and/or exposure to SCP-2266-1 has caused 
individuals witnessing SCP-2266-2 to experience a systematic 
alteration in their mental faculties!, resulting in a neurological 
condition in which the individuals are unable to perceive 
SCP-2266-2 in any way. 


A second manifestation of SCP-2266-2 by a previously exposed 
individual(s) causes SCP-2266-2 to be physically unable to interact 
with the individual(s) and all inanimate objects within a general 
10-20 meter vicinity of its location. Previously unaffected individuals 
present at the time will be able to witness and physically interact 
with SCP-2266-2. 


Discovery: Instances of SCP-2266-1 first began to appear in 
regional retail outlets in , Alaska in 1997. The popularity of the 
horror film "The Ring" in 2002 led to a widespread resurgence in 
which instances of SCP-2266-1 began to appear in certain 
Blockbuster Video retail outlets, as well as on eBay and Amazon 
third-party merchants under its current guise (identified 20 ); 
allegedly "real versions" of "The Ring". 


Description of SCP-2266-2 appearances varied, with individuals 
reporting SCP-2266-2 to manifest from their television screens or 
alternately as an intruder, indicating SCP-2266-2 does not always 
appear in the same spot. Reported instances of SCP-2266-2 
culminated in a successful recovery on / /2003, when a police 
report was intercepted detailing an individual claiming the subject 
had broken into the individual's friend's home, while the friend in 
question could not positively identify an intruder. Police on the scene 
took SCP-2266-2 into custody, to the confusion and dismay of the 
homeowner who continued to insist no such intruder was to be 
found. 


The connection between SCP-2266-2 with SCP-2266-1 was made 
between //2003 and / /20 when recovery efforts turned up copies 
of SCP-2266-1 at the locations SCP-2266-2 was recovered. 
Containment procedures for SCP-2266-2 were updated at this point, 
and amenities were made upon recognition of SCP-2266-2's lack of 
involvement in this process. 


Interview log 1.19.20 with SCP-2266-2 


(Begin Log) 
Dr. Eastwatch: Hello, 
SCP-2266-2: Hey. 


Dr. Eastwatch: Why don't you tell me what happened, 
from the beginning? 


SCP-2266-2: Do | have to? It hurts to speak so much. 


Dr. Eastwatch: We can stop and continue later when 
you're feeling better. 


SCP-2266-2: Nope. It always hurts to talk. Stallin' won't 
help. From the beginning, then; | woke up in my bed and 
saw a woman standing over me. | couldn't move. She 
looked down at me and started to cry. | asked her name, 
and she smiled at me and said 'No one will remember 
your name’. So | got my phone and called the cops. 


Dr. Eastwatch: And what happened? 


SCP-2266-2: Nothing happened. | fell back asleep. 
Probably should've done something about the woman in 
my room, but | couldn't get up. | figured if | was going to 
die, | didn't wanna be awake for it. Fell back asleep easy 
enough. | woke up somewhere else, with two guys 
laughing and pointing at me. | didn't have any clothes on, 
so | assumed the worst... Then, they got up and ran out 
of the room. | was shaking then, thought | was gonna 
have a heart attack. So | found the bathroom and waited. 


Dr. Eastwatch: Then it happened again? 


SCP-2266-2: Again, and again, and again, and again. 
Sometimes people would just ignore me. I'd leave, try not 
to break down again, find my way home. Other times, | 
couldn't leave. The doors would be locked, the windows 
sealed shut, every single object, from furniture to slender 
little wine glasses, would be hard as rock, and 


impossible to move. 


Dr. Eastwatch: What about when the agents found you? 
You said you couldn't leave the house or move anything, 
yet you had a cell phone on you. 


SCP-2266-2: | had visited that house before. "Visited". 
Someone left the room just as | appeared. | went and hid 
in the bathroom. Some time later, | came out, and started 
touching everything, looking for anything | could move. | 
knocked the cell phone off the table. | didn't think, | just 
took it up and called 911. 


Dr. Eastwatch: No one responded? 


SCP-2266-2: Nobody heard me. | might've broken the 
speaker. Speaking of which, my throat... can we stop for 
now? 


Dr. Eastwatch: If you'd like to, sure. | think that's enough 
for one day. 


Addendum: SCP-2266-2 manifestation events have indicated an 
increasing number of individuals not previously exposed exhibiting 
symptoms consistent with a second exposure to SCP-2266. 
Additionally, unexposed individuals? have exhibited these 
symptoms. Neuroimaging of exposed personnel (as well as 
unexposed personnel) indicated the effects of SCP-2266-2 exposure 
present in 70% of all personnel, regardless of exposure to 
SCP-2266. 


The level of SCP-2266 exposure appeared linked to a number of 
biological factors, including brain chemistry, temporal/occipital lobe 
health, grey matter, age, and sex. As a result, it is believed that 
continued containment breaches over an extended period of time 
may result in a complete species-wide exposure to SCP-2266-2's 
derealization events. In this event, containment of SCP-2266 will be 
rendered irrelevant.

sections of the brain.

SCP-2267: Vibrations 


Item #: SCP-2267 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Automated crawlers 
programmed by a Foundation personnel are to be utilized in the 
event of new instances of SCP-2267. Existing instances are to be 
downloaded into an encrypted Foundation network for study and 
subsequently removed from public view. Personnel are to update 
crawler search protocols weekly. 


Description: SCP-2267 is an entity or group that uploads 
anomalous content to video-sharing sites, including youtube.com 
and vine.co, under a series of unrelated and apparently nonsensical 
online handles. The accounts themselves have proven untraceable. 
Uploaded videos contain footage of musical performances, 
interviews, and advertisements featuring unknown musical artists 
and related figures. Despite the depicted popularity of these artists, 
personnel have concluded these recordings are not being produced 
in the Foundation's standard timeline and/or reality. 


Footage of performances depict fantastical and surrealistic venues, 
as well as the utilization of technology beyond current mundane 
capability. Analysis of these recordings has produced a list of 
reoccurring artists and their musical styles, as well as occasional 
biographical information presented in interviews (see Document 
2267-A). Researchers have also verified the date in which 
SCP-2267's home reality diverged from the standard timeline (see 
Document 2267-B). 


+ Partial Recording Log 


Title: Herewitz Interview 8/ 
Runtime: 04:56 
Description: Interview with a Caucasian male identified 


as "Jake Herewitz". Herewitz describes his childhood in 
Touchdown and early interest in music. No record of a 
city or geographical area known as "Touchdown" exists. 
Herewitz concludes with the interview with a song from 
his latest studio aloum, "Firefly Discoteque", consisting of 
orchestral rock and electronic elements. Of notice are 
the unusual idiomatic phrases and dialects heard in the 
interview which have no real-world analogues. 


Title: Kaylee live at 

Runtime: 20:45 

Description: Footage of concert in large domed arena in 
unidentified city. Unknown artist is performing a song 
borrowing from an eclectic variety of electronic sub- 
genres. Members of crowd can be seen holding up an 
object in the shape of a bowling pin at various points. 
Personnel could not deduce function of object until the 
"drop" of an apparent single, during which it was 
observed stage machinery produced multi-colored 
beams of light that were attracted to these objects, 
allowing choreographed manipulation of the beams' arc 
with movement. Researchers described the effect as 
"hypnotic" and "mesmerizing". 


Title: GREAT SHOW AT —s!!! MUST WATCH 
Runtime: 08:46 

Description: Footage of concert in what appears to be a 
traditional orchestral hall built from a slightly luminescent 
metal. Personnel described the on-stage figure as being 
seated in an elaborate machine similar in appearance to 
a gyroscope. The figure did not exhibit any signs of 
distress. Although they were not observed to vocalize or 
produce sounds through instrumentation, unstructured, 
harmonic tones were clearly audible. Subjects 
unanimously described the sound as beautiful and 
intoxicating. 


Title: [REDACTED] 
Runtime: 00:57 
Description: Advertisement for what appears to be the 


was moved to another room for continued study. 

Note 1: This appears to be normal behavior for the stone when it is 
not removed from target following death. Other experiments 
confirmed that penetration of a wood coffin and 1.8 m (6 ft) of soil 
requires a little more than 72 hours. 

Note 2: Due to the failure of this method of containment it is not 
recommended that SCP-260 be utilized as a power source. 


Scenario 3: SCP-260 was lured into a hollow, transparent, smooth 
plastic sphere (hereafter "hamster ball"). 

Result: While SCP-260 was prevented from climbing walls and 
deterred from teleportation, target motion allowed the SCP to 
negotiate around various obstacles and did not prevent it from 
beginning penetration once the hamster ball achieved physical 
contact with the target. At this point target panicked and attempted 
to leave the premises and was detained and terminated by 
Foundation agents. SCP-260 flickered as before, but immediately 
targeted Agent _ _, who had first shot the target and changed 
motion accordingly. Agent was removed from the vicinity and the 
hamster ball was destroyed by gunfire. SCP-260 was unharmed. 
Note: Prior to the target's termination the hamster ball containing 
SCP-260 fell over the edge of an embankment during its pursuit. 
Observers noted that the ball fell normally (rather than gripping the 
wall and maintaining its soeed as SCP-260 usually does) and 
retained its momentum at the bottom, causing SCP-260 to follow the 
target at much higher speeds. 


Agent has been relieved of his duties and is currently subject to 
transportation between sites off the coast of Asia and North 
America, in order to keep SCP-260 on a geodesic on the floor of the 
Pacific Ocean that runs through Challenger Deep.

above venue. The performance’ is described as a 
musical tour of "vibration", and lists persons of various 
vocations, dispositions, and life experiences, such as a 
decorated police officer, a social worker, and a mystic, 
as well as various community and religious leaders 
lauded for their chastity and temperance. The headline 
act was described as a woman raised in a secluded 
natural environment and only allowed to consume 
specially cultivated vegetation and honey. 


Title: [REDACTED] 

Runtime: 06:46 

Description: Recording of performance in nightclub. 
Singer appears to be able to project her voice without the 
use of a microphone. Singer was also observed to 
change tone, inflection, and timbre of voice with 
remarkable ease and fluidity. 


Title: haunting stuff! @ [REDACTED] 

Runtime: 06:21 

Description: Footage of performance in expansive 
domed venue. A view of a city skyline from a high 
altitude is clearly visible outside, which led subjects to 
conclude the concert is taking place in a dirigible-like 
craft. The performer in question is only visible as a 
silhouette behind a shaded screen on stage. An 
elaborate apparatus comprising multiple microphones 
surrounds this screen. Despite the presence of a single 
silhouette, multiple voices singing in harmony are clearly 
audible. One subject claimed to have observed unusual 
movement on the singer's neck and shoulder area but 
could not confirm due to poor image quality. 


Title: [REDACTED] 

Runtime: 02:23 

Description: News broadcast detailing the construction 
of what appears to be a large, black speaker-like 
structure, approximately 1 KM wide located an 
uninhabited expanse of desert. The broadcast is in an 
unknown language. 


Title: MESMERIZING!!! test run [REDACTED] 
Runtime: 04:11 

Description: Footage of what appears to be a large, 
rounded multi-colored glass structure high in the 
atmosphere. The structure is positioned at an altitude 
that allows it to fully cover the sun, which subsequently 
projects a hyper-realistic environment on the flatlands 
below. The projected environment is mandala-like in its 
complexity, and rotates in an hypnotic fashion. Excited 
vocalizations, presumably made by the camera operator, 
are clearly audible. 


Title: Monster show @ — !! DOWNLOAD LINK IN 
DESCRIPTION 

Runtime: 11:45 

Description: Footage of various figures in white clothing 
seated in previously seen gyroscopic devices. The 
constructs are on a raised marble dais in the center of 
the stage. Lights positioned above each apparatus 
appear to signal which device the audience is currently 
hearing. Five other figures in clothing ranging from gray 
to black are on a lower portion below the stage, also 
seated in these apparatuses. Audible music appears to 
be a product of these devices producing various tones 
and chords at different intervals. Figures on stage noted 
to have produced pleasant, harmonic sounds, while 
lower stage persons produced dissonant tones 
occasionally utilized in the main piece. 


+ Interview Transcript 


On [REDACTED], the entities responsible for SCP-2267 
uploaded studio footage of a radio interview with a 
person referred to as "John Steckler", an apparently 
leading figure in what the interviewer describes as 
"pneuma-acoustics". Transcript below. 


Interviewer: And the scientific community, 
there was no trepidation about this at all? 


Steckler: Well, there was definitely some of 


that. One of the, uh, analysts in the, uh, 
beginning, he quit as soon as he found out we 
were going in. He was out of there. But it, it 
was a shock to us, too. The ones who stayed. 
It really was. 


Interviewer: What was it like, being one of the 
first researchers to arrive on site? 


Steckler: [laughs] The story's been told a lot 
better in the movies. It — 


Interviewer: Yes, but — 


Steckler: — it didn't feel as earth-shattering to 
us. | know how, uh, how ridiculous that 
sounds, but a lot of people don't understand 
the kind of pressure we were under. We had to 
do it right. We had to have a kind of tunnel 
vision about the whole thing. Just working on 
what's in front of our noses. But | definitely 
don't remember any of the men kind of, 
shouting and crying and having these, these 
grand epiphanies like you see in all the 
movies. [laughs] We just had to do our jobs. 


Interviewer: Any details you can share with us 
that's never made it into those movies? 


Steckler: Oh, wow. Definitely the, definitely 
the smell of the ship. You can't get that across 
on screen. | know they keep trying. [laughs] It 
smelled like ammonia, and mint. And honey. 
[pause] It wasn't what we expected. 


Interviewer: What do you think happened? 


Steckler: [pause] Well, it's fair to say we don't 
know for sure. | know one of the soldiers on 
the detail, he's always supported one of the 
more definitely outlandish theories out there. 


[laughs] We found the original of what a lot of 
people know as a, uh, as a gyro - but what we 
in the parlance call a pneumatic acousticizer - 
we found a huge one, right in the belly of the 
thing. Right there. There was stuff there we 
still haven't cracked. 


Interviewer: Do you mean to say gyros can do 
more than translate psychological states into 
sound? Are you holding out on us? [laughs] 


Steckler: Well, no. It's just the one we found 
was designed to work on a much larger scale 
than the ones you're used to in, uh, a club or 
hall. Who knows who they were, why their ship 
was broken on arrival, where they disappeared 
to. If it was even supposed to be manned in 
the first place. 


Interviewer: How do you feel about this 
technology in the hands of law enforcement? 
Data has found pneumatic acoustizers being 
95 percent accurate in diagnosing mental 
disorders and predicting convict recidivism. Do 
you think we are using the fruits of this 
technology in the right way? 


Steckler: Maybe there is no right way. Some 
of these club owners, they've taken the more 
fringe stuff we found and given 'em spins | 
wouldn't have imagined in my wildest dreams. 
It really is something. 


Interviewer: Briefly, Dr. Steckler, before we 
wrap up: Do you believe there is a chance we 
might have a repeat of the Touchdown? 


Steckler: That soldier | was telling you about. 
He thought the acousticizer on the ship was 

meant for the whole planet. Something like a 
cosmic lie detector, except accurate. [laughs] 


What do you think would have happened if the 
ship came through intact? And they used it on 
us, the whole planet? It'd be the supreme 
diagnosis. [laughs] [program cue music begins 
to play] Imagine them hooking it up and 
hearing the garbled, dissonant mess we hear 
when we hook up repeat offenders. With 
technology like that, you'd have to be a 
moralist. Or a doctor. [laughs] It's a scary 
thought. | don't want to think about it.

SCP-2268: Loaf Page 


Item #: SCP-2268 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All current and upcoming 
antivirus softwares are to contain a patch redirecting users away 
from SCP-2268 by claiming that the website has been infected with 
a virus. Periodic checks are to be made to ensure that the website 
remains contained. In addition, Foundation webcrawlers are to 
ensure that no additional domains contain the anomalous program. 
Due to safety concerns, all pages and subject matter must be 
approved by a Level 3 researcher before testing with D-class 
personnel. 


Description: SCP-2268 is an anomalous website under the URL 

. The page superficially appears similar to non-anomalous 
search pages. However, instead of conducting an internet search, 
the input bar instead loads pages from any URL. The pages loaded 
will contain no advertisements or other distractions from the primary 
information.1 Once a page has been loaded, an alert window will 
prompt the user to "loaf page" (sic) by inserting a slice of bread into 
the disk drive. Experimentation has revealed that anything the user 
considers to be bread will work for the purposes of insertion, even if 
it would normally damage the bread or disk drive to insert it. 
Anything that is not considered bread will react in a non-anomalous 
manner. Upon insertion of the bread slice, the page will show a 
loading screen with the words "downloafing" (sic) displayed above a 
loading bar in the shape of a baguette. While "downloafing" is taking 
place, the page will be unresponsive to user input. During this 
process, the bread inserted into the disk drive will be toasted. It is 
unknown how the toasting occurs, as unmodified disk drives do not 
reach the temperature necessary to begin the Maillard reaction. 


Bread toasted in this manner appears to be non-anomalous when 
analyzed, or when eaten by anyone except the user. When the user 


eats the toast, they will anomalously acquire all the information on 
the page loaded on the website. Amount of information acquired 
directly corresponds to the amount of bread eaten. This only applies 
to the images and text on the page at the time of the browser 
freezing. Attempting to internalize videos will result in only the still 
image shown at time of freezing being internalized. For a week after 
consumption, the information cannot be erased by any means, 
including the use of amnestics. After this week, information can be 
forgotten with normal memory degradation. 


Attempting to use SCP-2268 on a device without a disk drive will 
result in a 405 error occurring. The only way to circumvent this is by 
using a disk drive attachment, in which case SCP-2268 will perform 
as described above. 


Use of SCP-2268 to study anomalous webpages, including 
SCP-1584, is currently pending review. 


Footnotes 
1. For example, a social media page will have had the 
recommendation sidebar(s) removed.

SCP-2269: Grandma Spider 


Item #: SCP-2269 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2269 is housed in a 
humanoid containment suite at Site-17 that has been modified with 
hermetic seals and filters designed to prevent the escape of any 
instances of SCP-2269-2. 


Routine interaction and communication with SCP-2269-1 is to be 
performed using the intercom system whenever possible. Personnel 
entering SCP-2269's suite are to observe BSL-4 protection at all 
times and undergo decontamination when entering or exiting the 
area, and all personnel interacting with SCP-2269-1 are to maintain 
the cover story that its current housing is an advanced medical care 
facility for the elderly. 


Description: SCP-2269-1 is an elderly Irish-American female and 
former resident of [REDACTED], Florida, 87 years of age at time of 
initial containment. SCP-2269-1 suffers from a mild case of 
Alzheimer's disease as well as several other age-related illnesses 
(see Document 2269-09: Additional Medical Concerns) but is 
otherwise physiologically normal for a baseline human subject. 


SCP-2269-2 is a colony of spiders that appears to inhabit 
SCP-2269-1, consisting of possibly over 20,000 individuals from 
over 580 identified species ranging from Salticidae specimens less 
than 1 mm in size to Nephilidae specimens up to 5cm in size. 
Instances of SCP-2269-2 have been observed freely moving 
through SCP-2269-1's clothing and entering and exiting its orifices 
without generating discomfort or pain in any way. Furthermore, while 
instances of SCP-2269-2 have been observed capturing and killing 
parasitic insects attempting to infest SCP-2269-1, the colony does 
not appear to require any direct sustenance. As such, it is currently 
speculated that the bulk of SCP-2269-2 normally occupies an 


extradimensional space. 


SCP-2269-2's primary purpose appears to be the maintenance of 
SCP-2269-1's health. Whenever SCP-2269-1 is injured, a large 
number of SCP-2269-2 instances will work together to attempt to 
repair the damage inflicted. Prior to initial containment, SCP-2269 
had come to the Foundation's attention following an incident in 
which SCP-2269-1 was severely injured in an auto-pedestrian 
accident. A field agent embedded in local emergency response 
contacted the Foundation and a containment team was dispatched. 
When the containment team arrived, the following observations were 
made: 


¢ Several dozen large Nephilidae specimens were observed 
working together to bandage SCP-2269-1's cuts, using spun 
spider silk to bind the wounds. 

¢ Numerous specimens of Salticidae were observed working 
together to remove foreign contaminants such as broken glass 
and dirt. 


Upon recovery and transport to provisional containment, additional 
observations were made by the receiving medical team: 


¢ A large number of microscopic Symphytognathidae were 
present in SCP-2269-1's skull, attempting to repair ruptured 
blood vessels, remove clotted blood, and maintain blood flow 
through SCP-2269-1's brain. 

¢ Several Araneidae were present in SCP-2269-1's chest cavity, 
stimulating the lungs and heart through unknown means. 
Twice during the initial containment process, medical 
personnel reported momentary cardiac arrest which resulted 
in a burst of activity from the Araneidae specimens followed 
by resuscitation shortly thereafter. 


Despite the severity of its injuries, SCP-2269-1 eventually made a 
full recovery and has remained relatively healthy since initial 
containment. SCP-2269-1 is either unable or unwilling to speak or 
otherwise communicate with Foundation personnel regarding its 
current condition, but expresses agitation when instances of 
SCP-2269-2 are removed by Foundation personnel for testing 
purposes. SCP-2269-1 has, in writing, requested materials with 


which it can knit and weave but otherwise has not made any 
requests of containment personnel. 


Addendum 2269-1: Interview Transcript, - - 

The following transcript is of an interview performed by Agent 
while posing as a local police officer conducting post-incident 
interviews of [REDACTED]'s neighbors. 


Agent —_: Do you mind if | ask you a few questions 
about [REDACTED]? 


Mr. : Not at all. Shame what happened to her, she 
was a weird one but a really nice old lady. She deserved 
better. 


Agent — : Whatcan you tell me about her? 


Mr. : Not a lot, really. I've lived here close to 
fourteen, fifteen years and she'd lived here long before 
then. The neighbors tell me she'd been there as long as 
anyone can remember. Never had any trouble with her, 
really, since she kept to herself and only came out to get 
groceries. She never complained about anything, kept a 
clean house, had a beautiful garden. Would have been 
picturesque if it weren't for those spiders. 


Agent __: Spiders? 


Mr. : She, uhh, raised spiders. | don't know, really, | 
never paid much attention but apparently she collected 
them and raised them on her lot. She's got all those trees 
on her property, right? She had hundreds, maybe 
thousands of 'em. Cared for them, too, really liked them. 
Kinda creepy if you ask me, but she was a really nice 
lady otherwise. 


Agent _ : Was there anything... strange about them? 


Mr. : Stranger than raising a thousand spiders in 
your yard? No, not really. 


SCP-261: Pan-Dimensional Vending 


Item #: SCP-261 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Any access to SCP-261 must 
be approved by staff with level 2 security clearance or higher. Any 
and all items dispensed by SCP-261 must be recorded, along with 
the amount of money entered and the amount of time elapsed 
between uses. Currently, SCP-261 may be used only ten times ina 
twenty-four hour period, with no transaction exceeding the 
equivalent of 500 Japanese yen. Testing approved by Site 
Command is not under these restrictions. 


Items dispensed by SCP-261 should be reviewed by Site Health and 
Safety officials before consumption. Failure to do so releases the 
Foundation from any obligation regarding negative effects. Items 
deemed dangerous or useful to research will be confiscated by site 
security, with financial compensation provided in proportion to 
money spent. 


Description: SCP-261 appears to be a large black vending machine 
with no front glass panel, and a small keypad on the right side. 
SCP-261 was recovered in Yokohama, Japan. SCP-261 was 
brought to the Foundation’s attention after investigation of an “urban 
legend” about a “magic vending machine” that was circulating on the 
internet. SCP-261 was found in a back alley behind a large shopping 
center, with a hand-written sign saying “out of order” in Japanese 
taped to it. SCP-261 has no marks or identification of any kind, and 
no locals remember when or how it came to be in its current 
location. 


Internally, SCP-261 appears to be a basic vending machine 
equipped to vend food and beverage items. After a key was made 
and the front door opened, no abnormal materials were found, and it 
was determined that SCP-261 has never actually contained any 


Agent _ : Didshe ever say anything to you? 


Mr. : About the spiders? Yeah, actually. | only ever 
really talked to her once or twice, but | figured that 
everyone asked, right? She said that she liked them, and 
that they were just as much a part of Mother Nature as 
we were. She treated them real nice, and they kept the 
bugs out of her house. Kinda makes sense, if you think 
about it, with us so close to the marshes and such. 


Agent _ : Anything else we should know? 


Mr. : No, not really. Like | said, she was real nice 
and it's a shame. | hope she's in a better place, anyways.

SCP-2270: An Unnecessary Utilization of Excessive 
Force 


Item #: SCP-2270 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Written or electronic 
information pertaining to SCP-2270 or the incantations relating to 
SCP-2270 (specifically instances of SCP-2270-A) is to be strictly 
controlled, and all original documents kept in a high security storage 
locker at Site-81. Under no circumstances are unauthorized 
personnel to access or view the aforementioned documents. 


Foundation intelligence assets are to monitor internet and media 
sources for signs of information related to SCP-2270. Individuals 
found to be in possession of SCP-2270 material are to be 
apprehended, questioned, and then released following amnestic 
treatment unless follow-up investigation is warranted. 


Description: SCP-2270 is the group designation for specific 
information, incantations and rituals pertaining to the Mesopotamian 
god of war and the Sun, Nergal’. This information can take many 
forms, but it is believed that the original source of these incantations 
is a series of eight texts by a Romanian Renaissance author and 
philosopher, Sorin Vasilica?. These texts, collectively titled Recurs 
catre EreshkigaB and designated SCP-2270-A, exist in few original 
copies. 


SCP-2270-A is written in sporadic, occasionally nonsense prose, 
which will occasionally devolve into extremely intricate and 
complicated explanations of rituals and incantations required to 
persuade Nergal to attack a large, overwhelming enemy force. The 
eight volumes each describe a different section of the "appeal", 
summaries of which are listed below; 


1. Volume | - "A Cry In the Blistering Wind" - Volume describes 


the reasons why a mortal would dare to seek counsel with 

Nergal, when the entity's very presence would be enough to 

scorch the entire Earth. Rituals contained include those 

designed to appeal to Nergal's divine righteousness. 

. Volume Il - "A Call for Blood Spilled" - Volume describes how 

Nergal cannot be communicated with by mortals4, but those 

seeking blood call out to him nonetheless. Rituals contained 

include those designed to appeal to Nergal's fury. 

. Volume Ill - "A Beckoning" - Volume describes how, in order 

to seek the attention of the divine, the pursuant must first seek 

out Nergal's primary consort, Ereshkigal, who alone sits at 

Nergal's right hand. Rituals contained include those designed 

to appeal to Nergal's attention through Ereshkigal. 

. Volume IV - "Appeal to Ereshkigal" - Volume describes how 

one would speak to the half-divine she-torturer Ereshkigal, 

and what would need to be said to convince her to speak to 

Nergal on the pursuant's behalf. It is implied heavily that 

Ereshkigal communicates with and controls the will of Nergal 

through fornication. Rituals contained include those designed 

to appeal to Nergal's lust. 

. Volume V - "/ndication of Divine Guilt" - Volume describes 

what must be said and done to identify a target of Nergal's 

fury, and how to relay that information through Ereshkigal> by 
crafting the words needed in her language. Rituals contained 
include those designed to appeal to Nergal's piercing gaze. 

. Volume VI6 - "Acceptance of Eternal Consequence" - Volume 
describes the consequences of summoning Nergal. 
Specifically, those who bind themselves to the deity are, upon 
death, enslaved to its furnace in the sun to stoke the fires of 
its hatred eternally. No rituals are believed to be described 
within this volume. 

. Volume VII - "A Sacrifice of Life / A Final Appeal" - Volume 
describes how, after successfully appealing to Ereshkigal and 
accepting the consequences, the pursuant must make a final 
appeal to Nergal by way of a blood sacrifice. Ereshkigal then 
takes the blood spilled from this sacrifice and presents it to 
Nergal, who then consumes it to trigger his bloodlust. Rituals 
contained include those designed to appeal to Nergal's wrath. 

. Volume VIII - "Victatorius" - Volume describes the prayer that 
must be given to Nergal while the deity delivers its judgement 


against the "Guilt", in order to assure Nergal of the pursuant's 
resolve. The prayer, which itself is written over four hundred 
pages and takes up 97% of the volume, must be read start to 
finish without pause. It is explained that, should the pursuant 
be unable to do this, Nergal will instead destroy the pursuant 
instead of the Guilt. Ritual contained is a single prayer. 


SCP-2270-B is the entity described within SCP-2270-A, currently 
believed to be the deity Nergal. Based on current records, it is 
believed that SCP-2270-B has only manifested once: during Incident 
2270-Alpha’. SCP-2270-B manifested as a massive, vividly colored 
arm, extending towards the Earth from the Sun. SCP-2270-B has 
been observed as being capable of a single, focused ballistic strike 
with an estimated force of 275 petajoules®. 


Addendum 2270.1: Incident 2270-Alpha 


On March 16th, 1994, a massive explosion was detected near the 
town of Fort Peck, Montana. Cover stories of an accidental 
explosion at an army weapons depot were quickly disseminated 
amongst the public while Foundation agents worked to discover the 
source. The only recording of the incident was an accidental one, 
and due to the atmospheric effects of SCP-2270-B's manifestation, 
the recording was badly damaged. 


In the aftermath of Incident 2270-Alpha, it was discovered that a 
local man, Jerry Hubert of Augusta, Montana, had recently been 
inquiring about information relating to SCP-2270 in internet 
chatrooms dedicated to the occult9. After an initial investigation was 
unable to locate Mr. Hubert, a raid on his Augusta home discovered 
a series of emails to a contact from the Rutherford Group, a supplier 
for the American division of Marshall, Carter and Dark, Ltd. In the 
messages, Mr. Hubert requests information pertaining to SCP-2270, 
and later purchases the entirety of a nearly complete set of 
SCP-2270-A for $75,000. Further investigation was unable to 
determine the identity of the contact, nor the location from which the 
SCP-2270-A set was sent. 


Below are excerpts from the aforementioned emails, detailing Mr. 
Hubert's negotiation with the supplier and their follow-up 
conversation;

After further investigation, Foundation agents discovered that Mr. 
Hubert passed away on March 16th, 1994, after he drove his vehicle 
down an embankment, colliding with a tree and killing him instantly. 
It is believed he was driving home after conducting the SCP-2270 
ritual. An empty 12-pack of Coors Light beer was found in the 
backseat of his vehicle, along with the SCP-2270-A manuscripts that 
Mr. Hubert had acquired. The individual identified in the emails, 
believed to be Dave Terrell of Augusta, Montana, was never found. 


Footnotes 

1. 7393 in the original Hebrew. 

2. According to texts written about Vasilica, the author died after 
attempting to summon Nergal himself, but failing to complete the 
ritual. His final words are recorded as "O, Doamne, Doamne, ce am 
facut. Simt caldura (Oh god, oh god, what have | done. | can feel the 
heat.") 

3. "Appeal to Ereshkigal" 

4. Described literally as Nergal being completely unable to 
comprehend the "lesser" human speech. 

5. It is implied very heavily that the two speak different languages, 
and are only capable of communicating by utilizing the method listed 
above. 


6. Although referenced and described in other volumes within the 
set, to date Foundation assets have been unable to locate any 
portions of Volume 6, or any knowledge of the text therein that is not 
otherwise described elsewhere. 

7. Subsequent Foundation tests of SCP-2270's capabilities have 
been unsuccessful. 

8. This impact force estimation is based solely on the observations 
of particle states at the exact point of impact, and a circular area 
with a 50m radius around it. The energy contained within the impact 
appeared to rapidly dissipate, mostly as light and heat. 

9. Notably, Mr. Hubert had previously made several calls to law 
enforcement for minor domestic disturbances, but no charges were 
ever filed.

SCP-2271: Factory Loans 


Item #: SCP-2271 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2271 is unable to be 
directly contained. Current indirect containment efforts focus on 
mitigating damage caused by SCP-2271 to affected individuals and 
communities. Foundation Task Force Mu-14 "Forgive and Forget" is 
currently spearheading efforts to contain SCP-2271. 


Although the effects of SCP-2271 are believed to be irreversible, 
evidence has shown that removing affected individuals from large 
populations and isolating them decreases the rate at which the 
population as a whole is affected. Additional Foundation mobile task 
forces have been utilized to quickly separate affected individuals 
from their families and move them to High Security Containment at 
Site-91 the Solitary Containment Facility at Site-09. Appropriate 
cover stories and Class B amnestics have been authorized. 


Any and all Foundation personnel who become affected by 
SCP-2271 are to be considered KIA. Under no circumstances are 
affected Foundation personnel to come in contact with any other 
unaffected Foundation personnel after confirmation of their affected 
status. Necessary self-termination resources are to be supplied to 
these personnel as requested. 


Description: SCP-2271 is a poorly understood phenomenon 
currently affecting small populations in the American midwest. 
SCP-2271 manifests directly as a plain white envelope containing a 
letter detailing collections on a student loan account. While the 
envelope and letter are themselves non-anomalous, the manner in 
which they are delivered are, and as such they have been jointly 
classified as SCP-2271-1. 


SCP-2271 takes effect on an individual in three distinct steps, each 


categorized by a regression of the subject's mental state, as well as 
aggression on the part of entities classified as SCP-2271-2 
instances. The steps are as follows. 


Phase 1: Initial Exposure 


Subject receives a personalized version of SCP-2271-1. 
Typically this occurs through regular postage routinely 
received by the subject, although this can take place 
through a variety of different avenues. SCP-2271-1 
instances have been found slid under doorways, inside 
of locked rooms, within articles of clothing, and in one 
case, within the excrement of a prisoner in solitary 
confinement. 


All instances of SCP-2271-1 refer to a "Factory Financial 
Management" group, and provides phone numbers and 
addresses used to contact the company. To date, none 
of these numbers or addresses have shown any 
indication of being affiliated with the company in 
question, or any group whatsoever, but if used to mail a 
package or make a phone call, will result in some kind of 
communication with the company. Packages do not 
require a mail carrier; applying an address label of some 
kind will result in the parcel disappearing shortly 
afterwards. 


The individual receiving the instance of SCP-2271-1 
does not need to open the envelope or read the letter to 
be affected. As soon as they receive SCP-2271-1, they 
become an instance of SCP-2271-A. 


Phase 2: Payment of Debt 


In 100% of all reported cases, the letter within 
SCP-2271-1 will demand payment of a monetary amount 
that absolutely cannot be repaid, even if the subject had 
access to the total amount of all of Earth's liquid assets. 


During the second phase, SCP-2271-A subjects 
universally become extremely agitated and obsessed 


with the repayment of the amount owed. Subjects will 
begin to sell all of their personal belongings and assets, 
and attempt to mail the collected cash to an address 
listed on their letter, or call the company and make a 
credit transaction. Attempting to hinder SCP-2271-A 
subjects from making these payments will often lead to 
violent outbursts by the subject. Subjects will 
aggressively maintain that they must meet an impossible 
repayment schedule, or face consequences from the 
collection agency. 


During this phase, SCP-2271-A instances will begin to 
claim that they can see unclear, humanoid entities on the 
edge of their vision, which are "fast-moving" and 
"clouded in thick smoke". No other distinguishing 
characteristics have been reported. These entities have 
been classified as SCP-2271-2. 


Phase 3: Liquidation of Assets 


During the final phase of affliction, SCP-2271-A will 
begin to dramatically sell off the remainder of their 
perceived belongings in order to pay off their debt. 
During this and the previous phases, SCP-2271-A 
instances will receive additional instances of 
SCP-2271-1 as updates to the status of their debt 
repayment. In no reported cases has the amount owed 
ever decreased. 


SCP-2271-A instances have been observed shipping the 
remainder of their material possessions, the possessions 
of those around them, their teeth, hair, excrement, blood 
(and other bodily fluids), pets, children/spouse/close 
relatives', and finally, with no other alternatives, the 
remainder of their own body. This behaviour will continue 
until the subject expires, or is no longer capable of 
making payments, after which they will disappear (after 
the second missed payment). 


SCP-2271-A subjects who are restrained from making payments will 
claim that the instances of SCP-2271-2 that had previously existed 


food or beverage items. The keypad, while connected and operating 
correctly, does not activate any of the dispensing mechanisms. 


When money is placed into SCP-261 and a three-digit number is 
entered on the keypad, SCP-261 will vend a random item. SCP-261 
has not accepted any currency other than Yen, with rejected 
currency being deposited in the coin return slot. It is unknown how 
these items appear; however, SCP-261 will not operate when the 
door is open, or when recording devices are placed inside. The 
number entered on the keypad has no effect on the item vended, 
nor has any pattern been detected. Items are always some form of 
“snack food”, and typically have bright, attention-grabbing 
packaging. 


SCP-261 is capable of operating with no external power supply, but 
operation in this state will cause “unstable” vending to occur much 
more quickly than normal. If SCP-261 is used several times in a 
short period of time and/or large amounts of money are entered 
before an item is vended, SCP-261 will start to dispense bizarre 
items. While still “food”, their suitability for human consumption is 
often non-existent. 


Log of items vended during Testing Phase 8: 
800 yen entered for each item, items being dispensed every 2 
minutes. SCP-261 is attached to power. 


“Coke Zero” — A can of diet Coke, packaging in English. 


“Cheetos” — A small bag of Cheetos snack food, packaging in 
English. 


“Black Black” — A single pack of caffeinated chewing gum, 
packaging in Japanese. 


“Yan Yan” — A single Yan Yan cone, with peach dipping frosting, 
packaging in Japanese. The Meiji Seika Company does not produce 
this flavor. 


“Pepsi: Dragon Twist” — A can of Pepsi cola, with a trace of fruit 
flavor, packaging in English. Flavor identified as Dragon Fruit. 


only on the edges of their vision will become more prominent and 
threatening, and begin to repossess items themselves. These claims 
are corroborated by observation of the subject and the belongings in 
question, which will begin to disappear if the subject does not 
personally make payments. SCP-2271-2 instances have not been 
photographed, but thermal surveillance has ascertained that there is 
always a significant drop in local temperature whenever SCP-2271- 
A subjects claim SCP-2271-2 instances are near, often as much as 
25° C. 


SCP-2271-A subjects are universally in a state of constant fear 
regarding SCP-2271-2 instances, and will show immense hesitation 
to avoid any stimuli that they relate to SCP-2271-2, including the 
sound of metal on metal, fire, strong wind, and the smell of burning 
rubber and petrol. 


Addendum 2271/1: Discovery 


The SCP-2271 phenomenon was first discovered in the town of 

, Nebraska, after local law enforcement ceased responding to 
attempts at communication by all outside groups. Foundation agents 
were mobilized to the town where they discovered that, despite 
signs of particularly graphic violence and struggle, the entire 
population had disappeared. The first instance of SCP-2271-1 was 
discovered during this investigation, albeit unknowingly, by the late 
Agent Sandra McCoy, during the sweep of an abandoned home in 
the area. 


Two days later, another report surfaced of a family of fanatics in 
nearby __, Nebraska, who had sold all of their possessions and then 
violently attacked their elderly neighbors. Foundation personnel 
arrived on the scene and managed to apprehend the subjects. It 
was during this initial investigation that SCP-2271-1 and -2 were 
originally classified. 


However, during Foundation occupation of __, several other 
members of the primary containment team became affected by 
SCP-2271, as well as a large number of townspeople. The situation 
soon become unmanageable, and all unaffected personnel were 
ordered to move back to a 5km perimeter and wait for further 
instruction. The situation resolved after two weeks, when all affected 


personnel had either disappeared, expired, or become too 
incapacitated to continue making payments. The remaining 
inhabitants of | were amnesticized and held for observation, then 
transported to Spain with different identities. The town itself was 
demolished, as was 


Incident Report: 01/03/2014 


On the third of January, 2014, Overwatch Command received a 
distress call from Site-91, the previous holding facility of all 
individuals contained in relation to SCP-2271. After the initial call, 
Site-91 staff did not respond for an additional eight hours, during 
which MTF Alpha-1 "Red Right Hand" was mobilized. Due to 
the remote location of Site-91, MTF A-1 was not able to reach 
Site-91 before it suddenly detonated its on-site nuclear device. 


In the wake of this event, it was discovered that Site-91 had sent 
one additional message, timestamped only two minutes before the 
detonation of the on-site nuclear device. The message, a single 
scanned image, was sent with no additional explanation. 


Investigation into this incident is still ongoing.

such a way that would result in more efficient packaging and 


shipping.

SCP-2272: Ellis Canastota, P, Pensacola Blue 
Wahoos 


Item #: SCP-2272 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Foundation contacts within 
Major League Baseball will work to replace the Pensacola Blue 
Wahoos’ general manager with Agent Rob Potsdam of Local Mobile 
Task Force 352-Dalet (“Dixieland Nightmare Magic”). Upon 
appointment as general manager, Agent Potsdam will trade Ellis 
Canastota to a Foundation-controlled summer league team in St. 
Petersburg, Fla., at which point containment procedures will be 
further revised. Following Incident 2272-Domino (see Addendum II 
below), SCP-2272 is to be monitored for anomalous activity outside 
its known effects, and officials in the Cincinnati Reds franchise will 
be advised to retain Ellis Canastota at the Double-A level or below.1 
At least one member of Local Mobile Task Forces in the region of 
Pensacola Blue Wahoos away games at which Ellis Canastota is 
scheduled to start shall attend. Regional Command will revise 
containment procedures if new information or activity is 
demonstrated. 


Description: SCP-2272 is a phenomenon currently affecting the 
Double-A minor league baseball team known as the Pensacola Blue 
Wahoos. The phenomenon manifests as a player who does not 
exist, Blue Wahoos starting pitcher Ellis Canastota, appearing in 
game records, statistical compilations and in memories of Blue 
Wahoos games since mid-201 . All attendees of Blue Wahoos 
games in which Canastota is purported to play experience an 
apparent collective visual hallucination of Ellis Canastota pitching, 
batting and fielding, and a baseball game proceeding as normal. 
This effect also applies to visual recordings, photographs or audio 
recordings of Blue Wahoos games. (See Addendum | below for 
attempts at computer analysis of purported photographs of 


Canastota.) 


Double-blind analysis of aerial sonar readings from Vince J. Whibbs 
Sr. Community Maritime Park during a game in which Canastota 
was purported to pitch confirm that no being or object existed in the 
space in-person observers or observers of photographs and video 
suggest. In addition, despite audiovisual recordings indicating 
baseballs being hit, thrown and otherwise manipulated, sonar 
tracking was unable to verify the objective presence of a baseball on 
plays in which Canastota was a factor. When Canastota is not "on 
the field," no anomalous effects are indicated. 


Ellis Canastota, according to scouts with the Cincinnati Reds 
organization and his listing on the Blue Wahoos website, attended 
“Oneiroi3 High School” in “Utica, WO.”"4 No memories, recordings or 
statistics of any baseball performances by the player exist prior to 
his signing with the Blue Wahoos in 201 . 


Addendum | - Analysis of images: Multiple images affected by 
SCP-2272 were passed to a Foundation-developed program which 
subjects an image to a number of Fourier transforms and 
convolutions to obscure the resulting output from human recognition 
while simultaneously analyzing its structure and providing a 
summary of its contents by statistical analysis.> An example report 
(SCP-2272-IMG310): 


Date: 1st July 201 

Location: SPORTING EVENT at BASEBALL STADIUM (99% 
certainty) 

Type: FULL COLOR PHOTOGRAPH 

Subject: 

The image contains one (1) ADULT PERSON standing in 
foreground and seventy to eighty (70 to 80) ADULT PERSONS 
seated in the background. With 100% certainty the PERSONS in the 
image have CLOSED EYES. 


Addendum II - Incident 2272-Domino: Initial containment 
procedures for SCP-2272 orchestrated the appointment of Field 
Agent Robert Potsdam as general manager of the Pensacola Blue 
Wahoos, with the intent to trade Ellis Canastota to a Foundation- 
controlled summer league baseball team to contain SCP-2272’s 


effects. The evening after his appointment as general manager, 
Agent Potsdam was found comatose in his bed, after suffering 
apparent blunt-force trauma to the head. All Foundation staffers 
within an approximately 40 km radius of Agent Potsdam’s location 
reported experiencing the same dream that evening. Foundation 
staffers reported sitting in the stands of a baseball stadium and 
viewing Ellis Canastota throwing a fastball at the head of a bound 
Robert Potsdam. 


Footnotes 

1. At Canastota’s current level of statistical performance (7-10, 4.74 
ERA as of last season) this is considered a feasible request with 
which the franchise is cooperating without objection.

SCP-2273: Major Alexei Belitrov, of the Red Army's 
22nd Armored Infantry Division 


Item #: SCP-2273 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2273 is to be contained in 
an M-SHACC1 with furniture that can accommodate SCP-2273's 
weight and size. Additionally, the containment cell and adjacent 
observation/interview room must act as a Faraday cage. Standard 
quality-of-life considerations apply. SCP-2273 requires 
approximately 8,000 calories per day in order to remain healthy; 
standard human rations in quantities large enough to facilitate this 
are acceptable. The Site-17 humanoid anomaly psychologist is to 
interview SCP-2273 weekly, to ensure continued mental health of 
the subject while obtaining knowledge of SCP-2273's original 
timeline. SCP-2273 is a ECT2 B sapient anomaly and is granted 
limited access to literature and musical media that may be revoked 
at any time. 


Description: SCP-2273 is a humanoid entity believed to be of extra- 
universal origin that consists of two parts. SCP-2273-1 is believed to 
be a non-anomalous male human that shares a symbiotic 
relationship with an anomalous organism, SCP-2273-2. This 
organism completely covers SCP-2273-1, leaving no epidermis 
exposed. Notable physical characteristics of SCP-2273-2 are as 
follows: 


¢ Achitinous carapace that forms a secondary, exterior 
skeleton. 

* Compound-lensed eyes giving SCP-2273-2 approximately a 
270° field of vision and approximately 90° of binocular vision. 

¢ Earth-tone coloration visually similar to military forest-pattern 
camouflage. 

¢ Advanced musculature that integrates with SCP-2273-1's 


muscular-skeletal system and allows SCP-2273 to carry an 
estimated 1200 kilograms in addition to its own weight. 
* Proboscis similar in function to that of Musca domestica? used 
by SCP-2273-2 to procure nutrients for itself and its host. 
* Colored scar tissue similar in nature to tattoos corresponding 
to military patches and badges.4 
A fully functional organic radio transceiver capable of 
transmitting both encrypted and unencrypted audio messages 
over a wide bandwidth. 


Additionally, it is believed that SCP-2273-2 shares its circulatory and 
nervous systems with its host. 


SCP-2273 is approximately 2.1 meters in height and 290 kilograms 
in weight. SCP-2273-2's exterior is heavily scarred on both forearms 
and shoulder blades. Upon recovery, these areas bore open 
wounds. SCP-2273 claims that weapon nacelles were previously 
mounted at these locations. All written tattoo patterns are in Russian 
and indicate that SCP-2273 was a Major in the 2294 Armored 
Infantry Division®. It is fluent in Russian and German. 


SCP-2273 was recovered during investigation of a seismic event 
and radiation spikes detected outside Danner, Wisconsin on 13 
October, 1989. SCP-2273 was found after tracing radio 
transmissions coming from its location. SCP-2273 was wounded, 
delirious, and suffering from malnutrition. It offered no resistance to 
the recovery team. It was moved to Site-17 shortly after its recovery.

Open SCP-2273 Initial Interview Log 


Interviewed: SCP-2273 

Interviewing: Dr. Friedrich (Site-17 humanoid 
anomaly psychologist) 

Forward: Interview was conducted primarily in 
German. SCP-2273's ability to speak using 
AM radio had been ascertained during 
recovery. 

Transcript: 


Dr. Friedrich (in Russian): Hello? Can you 
hear me? 


SCP-2273 (in German): Your accent is 
atrocious. Yes, | can hear you. Let's speak in a 
language | know you'll understand. 


Dr. Friedrich (in German): Ah, yes, all right. 
I'm told you answer to the name Alexei 
Belitrov. Is this true? 


SCP-2273: Let's quit with the pleasantries. | 
am a prisoner-of-war and you are my 
interrogator. You killed my men, tortured me, 
and left me to die in the wilderness. Have you 
not done enough? 


Dr. Friedrich: | — I'm sorry? 


SCP-2273: You heard me. Don't act like you 
don't know what was done to me before | was 
brought here. My men died because | 
surrendered. | see now that it was a mistake. 
They should have died like warriors, fighting 
for the Motherland, not gunned down like 
animals. | thought | could end the war for 
them, give them much-deserved peace. 
Instead, they are dead, likely not even buried 
but left to rot, and | am here, being 
interrogated by some skinny in an American 
Concentration Camp. 


Dr. Friedrich: Alexei, do you know where you 
are? 


SCP-2273: No, and it does not matter. You will 
not break me, filthy dog. 


End Transcript 
Closing Statement: SCP-2273 remained 
largely unresponsive after the final transcribed 


remarks. Dr. Friedrich opted to discontinue the 
interview shortly thereafter. Following this 
interview, Dr. Friedrich put forward a request 
to provide SCP-2273 a limited amount of low- 
level information regarding the Foundation in 
order to gain SCP-2273's trust, furthering 
cooperation. 


Open SCP-2273 Interview 002 


Interviewed: SCP-2273 

Interviewing: Dr. Friedrich 

Forward: Interview was conducted in German. 
Six hours prior to interview, SCP-2273 had 
been issued an outdated copy of the Level 1 
Researcher General Debrief in an attempt to 
make it understand the nature of its 
containment. 

Transcript: 


Dr. Friedrich: Alexei, are you ready to talk? 


SCP-2273: | understand now. You... you are 
not dogs, you are crows. 


Dr. Friedrich: I'm sorry? 


SCP-2273 (in Russian): Crows. (In German:) It 
is Red Army Officer's slang for... your people. 
You do not fight in the war. Instead, you steal 
weapons from both sides for... whatever 
purposes. Containment, | suppose. | guess 
this means | am no longer in the place | came 
from, da? 


Dr. Friedrich: Yes, Alexei, that's right. We 
need to find out where you came from, so we 
might be able to figure out how you got here 
and possibly come up with a way to get you 


back. 


SCP-2273: Do not lie to me, skinny crow. You 
are going to keep me in this cell forever. You 
and | both know this. 


Dr. Friedrich: Fine, | won't lie to you. Yes, you 
will probably spend the rest of your life in this 
facility, but it doesn't have to be entirely 
miserable. If you help us, we'll see what we 
can do to help you. 


SCP-2273: Please, just let me be for awhile. 


Friedrich: Alright, Alexei. Take your time. 
We'll talk whenever you're ready, ok? 


End Transcript 

Closing Statement: SCP-2273 began 
showing signs of severe stress shortly after 
reading the issued document. However, most 
signs and acts of aggression seem to have 
ceased. 


Open SCP-2273 Interview 003 


Interviewed: SCP-2273 

Interviewing: Dr. Friedrich 

Forward: Interview was conducted in German. 
This interview took place upon SCP-2273's 
request three days after Interview 002. 
Transcript: 


Dr. Friedrich: Alexei, you said you wanted to 
see me? 


SCP-2273: Yes. | have thought about your 
offer, and | would like to talk. | don't know 
beyond all doubt that you're not working for the 
Americans, so | won't tell you anything that 


PepsiCo does not produce this product. 


“Darkside Cola” — A “can” with clear plastic sides, packaging in 
Japanese. Liquid inside is clear. When opened, liquid appears to 
react to the air, and changes to dark black over a period of several 
seconds. The black coloration “looks like billowing smoke”, and 
cannot be reversed. Liquid’s taste described as “cola, with 
something spicy in it.” 


“The Little Bakery: 7 Grain” — A small tube the size of a candy bar 
with a green button, made of aluminum, packaging in English. When 
the top is twisted off, a mass of “dough” is extruded. “Dough” 
contains several enzymes and bacteria that have not yet been 
identified. On contact with air, these cause the dough to rise and 
“bake”, killing the microbes in the process. Produces a small, round 
loaf of bread weighing 250 grams. Taste described as good, but 
chewy. 


“Lemon Clams” — Thick plastic baggie with a plastic tube on the 
side, containing water and twelve clams, packaging in Dutch. 
Following on-package instructions, the plastic tube was cracked like 
a “glow stick”. Liquid in the bag flashed to steam, venting from a 
hole that popped open in the top of the bag, slightly burning one 
researcher. Steaming finished after thirty-eight seconds, after which 
clams were found to be fully cooked and infused with a mild lemon 
flavor. On investigation, clams match no recorded species. 


"Diet Ghost" — A can containing an instance of SCP-2107. 
Packaging was in English. Testing done on this instance provided 
similar results to other contained instances of SCP-2107. This marks 
the first time SCP-261 has vended another SCP object. 


“<Unknowns” — Small mesh bag filled with small, multi-colored 
pyramids, packaging in an unknown language. Pyramids found to be 
very hard and unpleasant tasting, compared to chalk in taste and 
consistency. When placed in hot water, pyramids open and produce 
“strings” that quickly dissolve, coloring the water the same shade as 
the pyramid. Water had no additional taste, but testing revealed a 
sharp increase in mineral, carbohydrate, and protein content, with 
several minerals unidentified at the present time. This content was 
found to be consistent with the recommended daily intake of 


you wouldn't already know. This is fair, da? 


Dr. Friedrich: Yes, | suppose it's a fair offer. 
Hm. Okay, you kept talking about a war. What 
can you tell us about that? 


SCP-2273: It is the Second Great Patriotic 
War, the War to End the World. Several years 
ago, when | was only a child, the Americans 
launched a nuclear attack against the 
Motherland and her allies. We retaliated in full 
force. Very few people were left alive, and 
much of the surface was rendered unusable 
for farming, or even just living. That is why | 
am in this armor. | couldn't survive very long 
on the surface without it. 


Dr. Friedrich: Oh, okay. What else can you 
tell me about your armor? 


SCP-2273: It was built for us by the engineers. 
| don't know how they do it or how they work, 
but this armor has saved my life more times 
than | can count, and has been worth the pain 
it has caused me. 


Dr. Friedrich: Can you elaborate on that? 
How has the armor caused you pain? 


SCP-2273: The armor takes many years to 
grow. | was only a boy when my parents 
volunteered me for the program, and getting 
attached to the armor was likely the most 
painful thing | have ever felt in my life. But it 
was worth it because | am that much more of a 
warrior for my country. Everything it feels, | 
feel. Everything it sees, | see. Everything it 
smells or tastes or hears, | smell and taste and 
hear. Everything it thinks, | think. 


Dr. Friedrich: I'm sorry, your armor thinks? 


SCP-2273: Yes, but not how you and | think. It 
identifies targets, weapons, ammunition, 
supplies, friends and foes, objectives to be 
captured, terrain features, hazards. It helps me 
to formulate battle plans when | am acting in 
my capacity as an officer, and helps me to 
fight war when | am acting in my capacity as a 
soldier. You already see how it helps me 
speak to my men and my superiors from great 
distances. It lets me hear the enemy from a 
great distance, as well. This armor has served 
me well. 


Dr. Friedrich: Ok, | think | understand. Can 
you tell me about how you got the wounds on 
your shoulders and arms? 


SCP-2273: When you found me, | had just 
been captured by the Americans. They had 
forcibly removed my weapons and my supply 
pack, creating these wounds. They did this 
with all my surviving men. Then, they identified 
me as the commanding officer and took me 
aside. They shot my men shortly afterwards. | 
thought you were the same Americans who 
had captured me... | still don't trust you, but | 
don't believe | have a choice. 


Dr. Friedrich: What can you tell me about how 
you got here? Do you know? 


SCP-2273: | don't know how | ended up here; 
all | remember is a bright flash of light, then all 
the Americans were gone. There were trees 
that hadn't been there before. But | was very 
deep in American territory, and | didn't believe 
they would dispose of an officer such as 
myself so easily. So, | began sending 
encrypted distress codes and wandered the 
forest until your men found me. Is there 
anything else you would like to know? 


Dr. Friedrich: No, Alexei, that's enough for 
now. 


SCP-2273: Thank you — What did you say 
your name was? 


Dr. Friedrich: You may call me Doctor 
Friedrich. | appreciate what you've told me so 
far, Alexei. 


SCP-2273: Thank you, Doctor Friedrich.

Open SCP-2273 Interview 004 


Interviewed: SCP-2273 

Interviewing: Dr. Friedrich 

Forward: Interview was conducted in German. 
This interview took place the day after 
Interview 003. 

Transcript: 


SCP-2273: Hello, Doctor. Is there more you 
would like to discuss? 


Dr. Friedrich: Yes, actually, there is. Thank 
you for asking, Alexei. 


SCP-2273: Before we continue, may | make a 
request? 


Dr. Friedrich: Tell me what you need and I'll 
see what | can do for you. 


SCP-2273: You wouldn't happen to have 


recordings of the Russian composer Pyotr 
Ilyich Tchaikovsky, would you? 


Dr. Friedrich: I'll see what | can find. 


SCP-2273: Thank you. Now what is it that you 
wanted to talk about? 


Dr. Friedrich: Yesterday, when we were 
speaking, you mentioned that your suit was 
built by "engineers." What can you tell us 
about them? 


SCP-2273: Well, they cannot live unprotected 
on the surface, like you or |, but | don't think 
they have ever built armor for themselves. 


Dr. Friedrich: Well, why wouldn't they? Do 
you know? 


SCP-2273: | am not sure. | think it is because 
only soldiers wear armor, and it is not their 
war. 


Dr. Friedrich: What do you mean, "not their 
war?" They're people too, aren't they? 


SCP-2273: Crow, do you not have engineers 
here, in this world? They are very much not 
like us. They fear the sun and have coats like 
beasts, but are smarter than any man; skinny 
or armored; crow, dog, or Soviet Patriot; any 
man you may ever meet. They are what has 
made the modern war possible, for both sides. 


Dr. Friedrich: | see. What else can you tell me 
about them? 


SCP-2273: They weren't truly known to Man 
until the years of the Great War and the 
Revolution. The French found them, in buried 
cities where the Western Allies were digging 


their trenches. Eventually, they were made to 
build weapons for the war, by both sides. This 
war led to the Revolution, and to the end of 
Germany. | can see by the look in your eyes 
that you know something of what I'm talking 
about. This is good. Perhaps your world and 
mine aren't so different, then, da? 


Dr. Friedrich: It would seem not.

Open SCP-2273 Interview 119 


Interviewed: SCP-2273 

Interviewing: Dr. Friedrich 

Forward: Interview was conducted in German. 
This interview took place as part of standard 
weekly interviews. At this point in time, 
SCP-2273 had been in containment for 
approximately two years. 

Transcript: 


Dr. Friedrich: Hello, Alexei. How are you 
feeling this afternoon? 


SCP-2273: Well enough, Doctor. The last 
books you've given me have been interesting. 
This traveler through time, from the 
Englishman's novel, he reminds me of myself. 


Dr. Friedrich: How so? 


SCP-2273: He has seen many things he did 
not think he would ever see. His travels have 
taken him to dark places he wishes he had not 


been. He saw the world die. And he has gone 
somewhere he cannot return from, leaving 
friends behind. This is true for me also. 


Dr. Friedrich: | see. Do you want me to let 
you keep that one for your collection, then? 


SCP-2273: Yes, Doctor, thank you. 


Dr. Friedrich: Ok. I'll see what | can do. Is 
there anything else you'd like to talk about? 


SCP-2273: Yes, Doctor Friedrich, there is. I've 
been having trouble sleeping at night. | know 
you don't have technicians here, but I'm afraid 
my armor might be malfunctioning. If you could 
somehow remedy that, it would be 
appreciated. 


Dr. Friedrich: Malfunctioning? How? 


SCP-2273: Well, it keeps dragging up old 
memories as I'm trying to sleep. That's one of 
its functions; it lets me remember details I'd 
otherwise forget, in order to keep me safe 
while on the front. But now, it's showing me 
scenes from the war, things |... don't need 
anymore. Actually, forget it, Doctor. This is a 
problem for a technician, and you don't have 
any here. I'll learn to cope. 


Dr. Friedrich: Alexei, | don't think that's the 
armor. Are you sure you don't want to talk 
about this? How long has this been going on? 


SCP-2273: | said don't worry about it, Doctor 
Friedrich. It will be fine. 


Dr. Friedrich: Alexei, | am a doctor. I'm 
trained to make sure people in your... 
predicament stay healthy. If something is 


bothering you, you need to let me know. Now, 
what sort of things are you remembering 
before you go to sleep? 


SCP-2273 (after approximately 30 seconds of 
hesitation): | told you where | was before your 
men found me, da? 1— | see my men's faces, 
staring up at me from the dirt, Doctor. Asking 
me why | didn't keep them safe. Why | was 
allowed to live while they had to die. | trained 
alongside those men for years before they put 
us back on the surface, since we were all 
young children. We were brothers. And | gave 
the order to surrender, and got — got them 
killed. | should have died with them. | am no 
better than the American dogs who shot them. 
| don't want to feel this way anymore. Please 
make this stop. (At this point, SCP-2273 rose 
from its seat and approached the interview 
window. As it did so, radio white noise began 
being recorded by all radio receiver equipment 
within SCP-2273's containment unit and 
interview room. This static continued for the 
remainder of the interview.) | was only trying to 
keep them safe, Doctor. Why couldn't | have 
died with them? 


[FURTHER STATEMENTS REDACTED AS 
PER HIPPOCRATES PROTOCOL; ACCESS 
REQUIRES ETHICS COMMITTEE OR 
OVERSEER PERMISSION] 


Closing Statement: Dr. Friedrich has 
recommended downgrading SCP-2273 to an 
ECT C sapient anomaly, granting it limited 
social privileges for the sake of relieving 
stress. This proposal is currently under review 
by representatives of the Ethics Committee 
and Site-17 security staff.

SCP-2274: He Stands 


Item #: SCP-2274 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2274 is to be kept within 
its box in Standard Secure Locker #56. Under no circumstances 
should any personnel directly view SCP-2274. No testing is 
permitted at this time. 


Description: SCP-2274 is a statue, 46 cm in height, made of metal 

of an indeterminate color. It depicts a humanoid figure, with a clearly 
defined torso and head and limbs that taper to points, without hands 
or feet, standing upright on a square base. 


Any human being who views SCP-2274 will halt all activity and 
assume a neutral standing position, staring fixedly at SCP-2274. 
These subjects cannot be persuaded to assume a seated or prone 
position, nor to have SCP-2274 leave their line of sight. Subjects 
seem incapable of autonomously performing any task other than 
remaining upright, including the basic requirements for living. If left 
alone, subjects will expire of dehydration. Subjects under the 
influence of SCP-2274 show extremely limited ability or willingness 
to communicate. They do not respond to questioning, unless asked 
one of two questions: when asked “what do you do?”, subjects 
invariably respond “I stand, as he stands.”! When asked “what does 
he do?”, with reference to SCP-2274, subjects invariably respond 
“he stands because he must.” 


Photographs and video footage of SCP-2274 have the same effect, 
as does viewing any portion of the object, whether in a photograph 
or directly. Viewing SCP-2274 in silhouette does not have any effect, 
nor does viewing the shape of the object while it is completely 
wrapped in cloth or paper. 


If the subject is forced to assume a seated or prone position, or if 


SCP-2274 is removed from a subject’s line of sight, the subject will 
react violently, attacking whomever is instigating the change until 
that person either views SCP-2274 or is incapacitated (See 
Interview Log 2274-1). No supernatural strength or unusual 
speed has been observed in subjects during these outbursts. 


At present, no observed subjects have recovered from the effects of 
SCP-2274. 


Addendum 2274-1: The object was recovered from the home of 
Kerry in , Texas on / /20 , when a friend who had gone 
over to have dinner dialed 911, stating that Ms. was “just 
standing there saying nothing except ‘I stand as he stands.” 
Remaining on the line with the 911 operator, he tried to force her to 
turn towards him as they waited for first responders. She responded 
by delivering a blow that seemed to cause him to lose 
consciousness. He was later found under the influence of 
SCP-2274 alongside her. 


The police officers who responded to the call were found also under 
the effect of SCP-2274. This development led to widespread fear 
amongst the police force, which alerted Agent and led the 
Foundation to launch an investigation. After the loss of Mobile Task 
Force Nu-12, the object, along with a cardboard box in which it was 
contained, and two typed notes within the box (documents 2274-| 
and 2274-Il) was recovered by drone and brought to Site-19. Neither 
the box nor the notes have exhibited any anomalous properties. 


Addendum 2274-2: Personnel with Level 2 security clearance or 
higher may refer to documents 2274-| and 2274-Il, which were 
recovered along with SCP-2274.

stomach cramps two hours later, but no other effects. 


“<Unknowns” — Aluminum box with a small glass window on the 
side, and a large round button on the top, packaging in an unknown 
language. Box is seamless, and appears to be filled with small, 
round animals covered in fur, each with three small paws and a 
single large eye. Pressing the button causes the inside of the box to 
rapidly become super-heated, cooking the small animals alive. 
Muffled noises and scratching were heard for several seconds 
during the cooking process. After one minute, thirty seconds, the 
front panel opens and gives access to the now-cooked animals. 
Professor Kain volunteered to eat the animals, with no other 
researchers willing to do so. Taste described as crunchy and very 
spicy, with a small hint of beef. 


“<Unknowns” — Tall, thin aluminum can, packaging in an unknown

cleared. Testing area observed to smell like citrus for several days.

Footnotes 


To the Foundation- 

Since | know you'll get your grubby hands on 
my art, | might as well address you, too. 

You disgust me. You don’t look for meaning. 
You don’t see beauty. You don’t care about 
the “why,” you care about the “how.” Like it’s a 
drug. You need it. | don’t understand the 
obsession. 

Your dependance on the “how” makes you 
bloated. You are lazy. You don’t think, you 
observe. You don’t create, you define. You 
categorize. You sterilize. You sit around on 
your collective derivative ass all day and 
destroy meaning through analysis. 

So, when you eventually do find my piece, this 
will be a fun one for you. For him, the “why” is 
the same as the “how.” He stands. He is his 
own. He is free of definition, and meaning 
does not burden him; it gives him strength. 
There’s no more understanding to be had. 
You do not stand as he stands. You are not 
free. 

You will never be cool, and you will never 
understand true meaning. 

| weep for you.

Flagged individuals that are subsequently contacted by SCP-2275 
are to be provided with a wide variety and number of postage 
stamps through Zdruzenje Zbiralcev Znamk Vzhodne Slovenije 
under the auspices of member appreciation efforts until such a time 
as all anomalous phenomena occurring in the vicinity of the 
individual cease. 


At the discretion of the Research Director, a Designated Research 
Subject residing at Site-67 is to be periodically made available as a 
potential SCP-2275 contactee for the purposes of studying 
correspondence and phenomena generated by the anomaly. 


All SCP-2275 correspondence is to be maintained in the Site-67 
Archives. 


Description: SCP-2275 is an unobservable entity capable of 
generating posted mail to certain recipients and affecting localized 
changes to currently understood reality in the vicinity of these 
recipients. After review of archival documents from the defunct 
Imperial Commission on Transgressive Occurrences (obtained 
pursuant to the Debrecen Agreement of 1990) and subsequent 
experimentation and analysis, researchers believe SCP-2275 to be 
a Class Keres thoughtform entity. 


SCP-2275 generates and sends correspondence to individuals in 
the vicinity of Ljubljana, Slovenia with a demonstrated interest in 
philately!. To date, 61.5% of persons contacted by SCP-2275 in this 
manner have resided within a 75 km radius of Ljubljana, with the 
remaining cases scattered throughout the region of Southern 
Europe. Prior to establishment of current containment protocols, as 
many as 800 individuals were believed to have been receiving 
SCP-2275 correspondence. 


Correspondence sent by SCP-2275 always bears a Kollwitz Stamp2, 
along with sufficient Slovenian postage for delivery to the intended 
recipient. No return address Is present. In each case, the contents 
are a single sheet of paper, folded into thirds, featuring a 
handwritten phrase or series of words in Slovenian. The handwriting 
in each sample is consistent with that documented in Imperial 
Commission on Transgressive Occurrences Dispatch No. 37. Refer 
to Addendum 2275.1 for a representative sample of SCP-2275 
correspondence. 


Individuals who are intended recipients of SCP-2275 
correspondence are subject to a series of local disturbances in 
reality. These phenomena decrease markedly in frequency and 
intensity if the affected individual continuously obtains and catalogs 
postage stamps. Most documented subjects intuitively grasped this 
relationship upon the initiation of these disturbances, and 
established or increased their stamp collections accordingly. 


Subjects receiving correspondence from SCP-2275 have been 
recorded experiencing the following anomalous occurrences: 


* Kollwitz Stamps appearing spontaneously in subject's pockets 
and personal belongings 

¢ Faint vocalizations emanating from plumbing fixtures and air 

vents, in all cases unintelligible and belonging to a female. 

Most observers have characterized these vocalizations as 

being fearful or distressed 

Manifestation of human bones’ within the residence of the 

subject, usually in closets and storage spaces 

Letters addressed to the subject, apparently originating from 

the Austro-Hungarian Imperial Office of Bookkeeping arriving 

with no content 


Existing stamps within the subject's residence spontaneously 
changing to feature portraits of Lovrenc KoSsir for brief periods 
of time 

Markings in black ink (intepreted by researchers to be 
attempts at handwriting) appearing on sheets of blank paper 
in the vicinity of the subject 

¢ Spontaneous and brief episodes of ambient conditions in the 
vicinty of the subject, such as atmospheric temperature, air 
movement, and sounds, matching those documented in real 
time at the burial site of Lovrenc KoSir 

Hundreds of unsolicited Poste Slovenije change of address 
forms (circa 1974) periodically manifesting in the subject's 
mailbox

Addendum 2275.2: Imperial Commission on Transgressive 
Occurrences Dispatch No. 37 


Researcher's Note: The following is a transcription of a dispatch 
from the Imperial Commission on Transgressive Occurrences, an 
agency of the Austro-Hungarian Empire active from 1830-1839. 
Headquartered in Budapest, this agency was tasked with 
investigating what would be contemporarily termed as paranormal 
activity. Archives of this agency were turned over to the Foundation 
following discussions with Soviet authorities in 1990. Translated for 
this file into English from the original Hungarian. 


On an unknown correspondent of Mr. Lovrenc KoSir 


This Commission notes for the records and benefit of the 
Voivode a curious incident reported by Lovrenc KoSir, a 
public official of the Empire who has attained renown for 
his innovations in the postal system. 


In my visit with Mr. Kosir at the Ruszwurm coffee house, 
he described to me how he conceived of his celebrated 
invention. The idea of developing a system of postage 
that would eliminate the burdensome prospect of 


payment upon delivery of parcels, Mr. KoSsir described, 
was one that took hold of his person, dominating his 
thoughts and waking hours. He came to playfully imagine 
this all-consuming desire as a species of muse, such as 
those fancifully described by artists and poets and the 
like. He termed his muse "Philatea," and would often 
invoke her presence when sketching out designs for his 
stamps and drafting protocols for their deployment. 


The first letter he received from "Philatea" was shocking 
to Mr. KoSir, as he had not told anyone of his imagined 
inspiration for his idea, nor even discussed his innovation 
at all except with peers in the Ministry and abroad. The 
level of detail with which Philatea described Mr. KoSir's 
idea and his passion for seeing it adopted was highly 
uncanny, and no reasonable explanation of how anyone 
could write with this knowledge was apparent. 


In spite of the somewhat otherworldly nature of this 
letter, Mr. KoSir was moved by the eloquence and shared 
ardor for his idea with which Philatea wrote. As | read the 
contents of the mysterious letter, | had to agree. 
Whoever this woman was, she was filled with grand 
ideas about the importance of correspondence, of 
shared understanding between all quarters of humanity. | 
read the letters that Mr. KoSir received, and | could not 
help but be inspired with a vision of a grand Brotherhood 
of Man, so beautifully elaborated in this woman's elegant 
script and flights of poetic phrase. 


Mr. KoSir responded to his newfound associate in turn, 
and began an intensive correspondence, which he 
confided to me as being largely responsible for his 
thought processes in developing the particulars of how 
his system of stamped postage would be implemented. 
Mr. KoSir showed me the letters he received from his 
partner in this venture, and drew my attention to the fact 
that Philatea's correspondence already bore stamps 
such as those that are now common in the Empire but 
were unknown at the time. These stamps featured the 


hopeful countenance of a young woman, the small 
portraits echoing perfectly the enthusiasm which Mr. 
Kosir described himself feeling as he pursued his idea. 


Once Mr. KoSir submitted his plan to his superiors and 
saw the fruits of his labors realized, he ceased his 
correspondence, letting several congratulatory letters 
from Philatea remain unanswered, as he attended to 
other matters in his life and moved on to new 
professional pursuits. Eventually, the letters stopped 
arriving. 


| am told by Mr. KoSir that he had heard of our 
Commission and our investigatory duties in his work in 
Vienna, and wished to report this curious event. Mostly, 
so he said, out of a desire to see if Philatea was indeed a 
real person, to whom some credit for his successful 
invention should be given. | do get the distinct 
impression, however, that Mr. KoSir is somewhat 
troubled by the mysterious provenance of the letters that 
he displayed to me. 


The unusual nature of our meeting notwithstanding, my 
conversation with Mr. KoSir was an enlightening and 
pleasant one. He did leave me, by way of our parting 
exchanges, with a sense of unmistakeable regret on his 
part, a sort of sorrow at the loss of this fantastic 
correspondence. He wistfully remarked, as older 
gentlemen are wont to, that he wished the matter had 
been just a little different, that he had not laid aside this 
mystery of his as he pursued the later course of life. 


The notability of the personage involved in this 
occurrence is certainly unusual, and | believe the matter 
is worthy of further study. | have enclosed the 
correspondence referenced above, which Mr. KoSir has 
so kindly provided to us for our purposes. We shall 
speak more of this when | arrive again in Buda Pest a 
fortnight hence. 


Sealed and Signed, 


Dezsé6 Nemes

SCP-2276: Too many GRACE 


Item #: SCP-2276 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2276 instances are to be 
reprogrammed with modified software as they are discovered, to 
prevent transmission conflicts with other instances and reduce their 
radio-frequency footprint. See Document 2276-W for details. 


Instances are to be logged in civilian databases as small asteroids 
of equivalent visual magnitude as appropriate, depending on 
location. 


Where possible, instances in orbit of earth are to be de-orbited and 
any debris recovered; otherwise any available station-keeping fuel is 
to be reserved for averting collisions with legitimate civilian satellites. 


SCP-2276 instances may be used for gathering scientific data, 
however a number of restrictions apply. Use by external researchers 
or agencies must be approved and requires an appropriate non- 
disclosure agreement. Note that data pertaining to other SCP 
objects may have additional restrictions beyond those for SCP-2276. 
Under no circumstances is the data gathered by SCP-2276 (other 
than SCP-2276/1) to be released to the public. 


Research into orbital debris removal is to be given high priority for 
funding. Grants may also be given to groups outside the Foundation 
for research in this area. 


Description: SCP-2276 is a class of artificial space satellites, 
orbiting various bodies in pairs. (Each SCP instance designation 
refers to one pair.) Each pair is an exact duplicate of the original 
Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment satellites (designated 
SCP-2276/1) as they existed at 18:04 on June 11, 2002. 
SCP-2276/1 was originally launched by NASA on March 17, 2002.

Instances are functional and will respond to commands transmitted 
to them. However, transmissions must be aimed directly when 
commanding instances that have not yet been reprogrammed per 
2276-W, to avoid accidentally commanding multiple instances at 
once. 


New instances of SCP-2276 will spontaneously manifest in orbit 
around Earth or another body. The rate at which new instances 
appeared was initially around one per 8 months. The rate has 
increased over time since then - around one new instance per day in 
early 2016 - and is predicted to continue rising. 


991 instances have been discovered to date!, 347 of which are not 

in orbit of Earth. Orbits are all circular with varying altitudes, and are 
isotropically distributed. A complete catalog of SCP-2276 instances 

is available in Addendum A. 


SCP-2276/3a and b were recovered from orbit on April 22, 2004. 
Physical inspection at Area 15 revealed no inconsistencies, and no 
anomalous phenomena occurred during quarantine. SCP-2276/3 is 
currently in storage at Site 73. 


A third satellite was launched into proximity of SCP-2276-1 on 
January 4th, 2006 to conduct visual inspections of the satellites. No 
discrepancies have been found between the SCP-2276/1 and the 
satellite plans to date. 


A number of collisions occurred between SCP-2276 instances and 
other artificial satellites in 2007-2009, prompting the addition of the 
active collision avoidance program to the containment measures. 
This has significantly reduced the incident rate. 


While the rate of incidents arising from collisions with SCP-2276 
remains manageable at the present time, SCP-2276 will likely pose 
a significant problem for space activities in the future, and may lead 
to an ablation cascade event? within the next decade if actions are 
not taken to avert it.

Addendum B: Use of SCP-2276 in researching other anomalies 


Due to its nature, there are a number of SCP-2276 instances 
uniquely situated to gather data on other anomalies and SCP 
objects. With a few exceptions, use of SCP-2276 data to facilitate 
this type of research is generally permitted with proper clearance. 


Research Target: SCP-2886 

SCP-2276 instances involved: 316 

Description: SCP-2276 has been used to help measure 
the mass of SCP-2886. Due to the presence of only one 
instance, SCP-2276/316, the resolution has been too 
limited to provide a clear subsurface imagery, but 
research is ongoing. 


Research Target: SCP-1812 

SCP-2276 instances involved: 696, 794 

Description: Knowledge of SCP-2276/696 and 
SCP-2276/794 is restricted to individuals with 3/1812 
clearance. No attempt is to be made to contact or locate 
SCP-2276/696 or SCP-2276/794. 


Research Target: SCP-736 

SCP-2276 instances involved: 295, 366, 485, 661, 774, 
919, 975 

Description: SCP-2276 has been used to provide 
precise data on the alterations in the orbit of lapetus 
caused by SCP-736. This data has allowed vastly 
enhanced precision in the associated orbital projections. 
Missions are underway to attempt to remove all 
SCP-2276 instances from the orbit of lapetus to avoid 
provoking SCP-736 further. 


Research Target: SCP-2362 

SCP-2276 instances involved: 672, 711, 877, 891 
Description: Instances in orbit of SCP-2362 and 
SCP-2362-like objects are being used to study the 
nature of this anomaly, and monitor them in case of 
activity. Note that most instances of SCP-2276 in orbit of 
SCP-2362 were destroyed by debris following event 
2362-A.

SCP-2277: Andronika Optima Maxima 


Item: SCP-2277 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Foundation front companies 
have been established to work in cooperation with Cisco Systems, 
IBM, Microsoft, Intel, HP, and Dell, as well as other major 
networking vendors for the purpose of containing all future instances 
of SCP-2277. IP addresses linked to SCP-2277 are to be 
monitored! and if practicable, re-assigned to a Foundation network 
at Sites-11, 442, and/or 19. Confirmed instances of SCP-2277 are to 
be blocked and/or removed from media-sharing sites as soon as 
possible. 


Individuals affected by SCP-2277 are to be given amnestics if 
practicable. Otherwise, all attempts are to be made to reinforce the 
mythic and/or pseudo-historical nature of any persons, places, or 
nation-states known simply as 
"Andronica"/"Andronika"/"Andronike"2. A number of "conspiracy 
theory" websites are to be maintained by undercover Foundation 
personnel, providing multiple conflicting versions of the "Andronica" 
tale at all times. These individuals are to be recruited from civilian 
populations and not allowed contact with any Foundation personnel 
involved in SCP-2277. 


Description: SCP-2277 is an unknown user or autonomous 
program of unknown origin which regularly engages in spamming or 
harassing phone calls to individuals using pre-recorded voices and 
unusual bursts of noise. In more recent years, SCP-2277 has begun 
to spam voice-over-IP services such as , Ventrilo, Mumble, 

, and Skype. SCP-2277 records these harassing calls and 
uploads audio with accompanying video to various sites, such as 
Youtube, Vimeo, and DailyMotion, under the guise of popular 
"Ventrilo Harassments" or "Soundboard Prank Calls". These videos 
are labeled as SCP-2277-A. 


The videos often feature victims becoming enraged at the persistent 
verbal abuse and spam, and involves the interspersing humorous 
images and video clips to designate certain speakers. The uploader 
is frequently represented by an 8-bit animated image of Carl Sagan 
as he appeared in the 1980 series "Cosmos". Any further relation to 
Dr. Sagan and/or "Cosmos" is unknown or else nonexistent. 
SCP-2277-A's anomalous effects are apparently triggered by the 
bursts of noise interspersed in its harassment videos. Attempts to 
decode the noise have variably revealed them to be fragments of 
apparently mundane conversation between unknown persons, or 
otherwise background noise from an unidentified public area, with 
individuals speaking a variety of languages. 


Individuals exposed to SCP-2277-A gradually develop a persistent 
delusion involving a fictitious individual, faction, or nation going 
variably by the names "Andronika"/"Andronike"/"Andronica"3. 
Depending on the individual, lack of universal knowledge of 
"Andronika" will lead to increased scrutiny of recent historical record 
and the perpetuation of certain conspiracy theories involving the 
destruction of "Andronika" and the suppression of any and all 
information relating to it/them. Persistent details on "Andronika" 
include: 


¢ Astrong matriarchal society and/or strong emphasis on a 
female leadership 

* Heavy emphasis on ancient Greek/Roman history and 

philosophy, primarily military history, with a direct emphasis 

and references frequently made to the writings and persons of 

Thucydides, Gaius Julius Caesar, Polybius, Xenophon, 

[REDACTED], and rarely, Theodore Ayrault Dodge. 

A strong emphasis on sex among military units as a means of 

cohesion and morale, examples citing the Sacred Band of 

Thebes4 

* A belief in a need for a system of eugenics variably involving a 

system of forced sterilization (or in certain instances, 

genocide) based along an unknown stratification uniformly 

known as "hiero-geneto-social" or "GS" for short. The basis of 

this system of classification is never elaborated upon. 

A belief that the end of the world is imminent if these eugenics 

programs are not instituted. 


¢ A belief that a secretive para-governmental society is 
intentionally sabotaging attempts at trans-national 
reconciliation, or the formation of a singular global authority, 
known variously as "The Technics", "Eaters", "Khanates", and 
"Pleistoanarchs" ((Note: See Addendum)) 


Three classes of SCP-2277-A identification have been established 
among affected individuals. 


Classifications 


A: In which "Andronika" is referred to as a tall, 
Caucasian woman with red hair and bright eyes 
(variously described as green, gray, or gold), often 
depicted with large breasts and wide hips. In these 
instances, "Andronika" is described as a former slave 
who escapes captivity using sex and her wit to deceive 
and trick oppressive male figures, while steadily 
gathering a cult-like following of individuals devoted to 
her. She is described as being highly sexual, often 
engaging her followers in sex, as well as being afflicted 
by a number of psychological ailments, descriptions of 
which match Tourette's Syndrome, Fregoli delusion, and 
schizoaffective disorder or possibly hypomania. 


In the "A" version of events, Andronika is described as 
uniting varying peoples in the Balkan region of Europe, 
between 1890 and 1895, before somehow managing to 
usurp large portions of the Ottoman Empire in the Levant 
and Armenia, and establishing a "Queendom" based 
upon the principles listed above. Her story ends with a 
secretive coalition of European powers who apparently 
have her killed and begin to systematically hunt and kill 
her followers, before dismembering the states into 
tributaries and/or smaller states based upon national/ 
religious lines. 


Believers of this version of SCP-2277 often attribute the 
Middle-Eastern front of World War | and the Armenian 
Genocide by the Ottoman Turks to be cover-stories to 
hide the anti-"Andronikan" coalition. 


B: In which "Andronika" is referred to a large centralized 
nation centered in Bosnia circa the mid-1800s. In this 
version of events, the nation-state of "Andronika" 
emerges as a confederation of wealthy nobles and 
merchants seeking independence from a fictitious entity 
known as the "Kingdom and Duchies of Germania 
Comata", encompassing portions of Austro-Hungary, 
Germany, and Bulgaria. "Andronika" is described as 
engaging in a lengthy campaign of crushing military 
victories, uniting Germany and Italy before becoming 
overextended and collapsing due to the "destabilizing 
efforts" of "foreign agents" variably described as English, 
American, Russian, and "Wendish"». 


Believers of this version of SCP-2277 often attribute the 
unification and formations of the modern states of Italy 
and Germany to be the result of Andronikan conquests. 
It is also said that the rise of nationalistic violence during 
this time is associated with the aforementioned "foreign 
agents" attempts at destabilizing Andronika. 


C: In which "Andronika" is referred to a polyglot of 
eastern European bourgeoisie and guilds centered 
largely in northern Greece, Austria, and Romania who 
are brought together by an unknown group of women. 
None of the women are referred to as "Andronika", nor 
described in any further detail. At some point between 
1899 and 1920, the "Andronika" faction emerges as a 
multi-national warband (described in-text as a modern- 
day Varangian Guard) with a long-term goal of 
manipulating regional politics to better accommodate the 
rise of a centralized "Andronikan" state. 


Any potential corollary with actual history disappears 
around 1934, as the "Andronikans" emerge in this telling 
as a significant geo-political force. By 1937, they become 
engaged in a war with Nazi Germany in which the 
Andronikans appear to be victorious. Descriptions of 
female Andronikans at this point begin to describe the 
women as having super-human abilities, including being 


freeze- and fire-proof, bullet-resistant, and favoring 
melee combat with anachronous large shields and short 
spears made of an unknown metal described as 
"gleaming red-gold". An occupation of Germany begins, 
in which the Andronikans fail to integrate the German 
people, leading to a large-scale revolt in which other 
world powers are brought in to stop an Andronikan 
genocide. 


"C" affected individuals tend to be fewer in number and 
less likely to insist upon the veracity of the story, possibly 
due to the higher level of deviancy from historical 
records. 


A small number ( %) of individuals affected by SCP-2277-A, 
regardless of which classification they are bound to, begin to display 
symptoms roughly analogous to those described as afflicting the 
person "Andronika" depicted in series "A" of SCP-2277-A 
classifications. 


Efforts to stop the effects of SCP-2277-A have been largely 
unsuccessful, as the use of amnestics has had an only temporary 
effect in suppressing memory of "Andronika". Repeated 
administration of amnestics was found to be necessary to remove 
memory of SCP-2277-A for a period of - 25 years. However, due 
to risk of auto-immune and/or neurological disorder as a result, 
frequent use of amnestics has been banned and new containment 
procedures initiated to minimize the potential impact of pre-existing 
affected individuals. 


Addendum: As Foundation containment procedures were 
implemented, certain individuals affected by SCP-2277 began to 
become aware of efforts made by Foundation front companies to 
mitigate SCP-2277's spread. A DDoS (distributed denial of service) 
was launched upon mis-information websites maintained by 
Foundation fronts. A fresh source of SCP-2277-A was found being 
distributed as a pornographic video. Audio is consistent with prior 
instances of SCP-2277-A. 


Interviews with affected individuals of SCP-2277 have indicated an 
apparent awareness by SCP-2277 of Foundation efforts to contain 


it. Stories involving "Andronika" have been updated to incriminate an 
ersatz-Foundation known as the "Society for the Consolidation of 
Power" as being involved in each iteration of Andronika's downfall. 
Information posted by affected individuals on forums and websites 
have increasingly contained details regarding this "Society" and its 
activities, as well as its secretive "Council of Thirteen" engaging in 
secretive activity to infiltrate world governments for the express 
purpose of suppressing knowledge of "Andronika" and perpetuating 
a supposed "GS"-based system. Many of the details regarding the 
Society's hierarchical structure have been found to be similar to that 
used by the SCP Foundation. 


As of / /2014, no sensitive information has been "leaked", although 
the websites in question have been taken down and the affected 
individuals involved have been detained by Foundation personnel 
until such time as a makeshift solution can be found to mitigate the 
potential risk of exposure of Foundation personnel or assets working 
on SCP-2277. Despite the absence of any information relating to the 
Foundation's containment of anomalous items/[REDACTED], 
SCP-2277 has been upgraded to Keter and all measures should be 
taken to prevent further "leak" of information relating to the fictitious 
"Society for the Consolidation of Power".

SCP-2278: Und ruhig flieBt der Rhein 


Item #: SCP-2278 
Object Class: Euclid 
Special Containment Procedures: 


In situ. containment of SCP-2278 has been approved as of 
21/6/1996. All standard regulations pertaining to the Genius Loci 
protocol apply. Remote monitoring of the containment perimeter is to 
follow the protocol guidelines for low threat anomalies. 


Direct inspection of the cave's soundproofing is to be conducted 
twice a year; maintenance access to the underground chamber 
where SCP-2278-A resides requires standard diving equipment, a 
5 g ingot of fine gold and active sound-canceling headphones. 


Communication efforts to skew popular representation of the local 
legends towards their less threatening versions are to be made and 
periodically evaluated. 


Description: 


SCP-2278 is a cognitohazardous sound pattern originating from a 
cave at 50° 08’ 22" N, 7° 43’ 44” E near the town of Sankt 
Goarshausen in Germany. The place had been known for centuries 
as the location of a peculiar echo, but only attracted wide attention 
from the early 19th century onwards. Cognitohazardous effects are 
not tied to the original source of the sound and recordings are 
equally hazardous. However, testing has shown filtering out the 
6-8 kHz band renders both direct exposure and _ recordings 
innocuous, which indicates the cognitohazard is most likely tied to a 
pattern of harmonics in that band. 


¢ Maintenance log (audio excerpt) - 


SCP-2278/15-8-1996-ML-1 


The following excerpt was recorded during the first scheduled 
maintenance of the containment perimeter. It is representative 
of current SCP-2278 activity. Cognitohazardous harmonics in 
the 6-8 kHz band have been scrubbed, making it safe to listen 
to. 


In the closest areas accessible to the public, sound pressure 
averaged 35dB before soundproofing of the cave and was not 
easily distinguished from other background noise. Exposure to 
SCP-2278 in those conditions was mildly cognitohazardous, causing 
disorientation and uneasiness, as well as suicidal ideation in 
depressed subjects. Such effects were only temporary, disappearing 
when perception of the pattern was discontinued. Cognitohazardous 
effects at ground level stopped after the cave was soundproofed in 
1996. 


Direct exposure to SCP-2278 in the cave itself causes more 
pronounced effects, the most notable being catatonia and a 
significant perceptual time dilation. After-effects can last for several 
months, manifesting as dysthymia or low-grade clinical melancholy. 
Sound pressure at the source is variable but routinely reaches 
130 dB, making it a direct physical hazard. 


The anomalous nature of SCP-2278 was not discovered until 
advances in statistical analysis revealed a higher than average 
mortality rate in the area. Several drownings and barge wreckings 
first thought to be accidental have since been re-qualified. 


The signal's source itself was serendipitously identified during an 
investigation into the disappearance of several divers in the 
immediate area. After contact with Agent L was lost, his beacon 
kept emitting from a location inside the rock. The retrieval team 
found no access to the beacon's location until Agent D accessed 
a previously unseen underwater tunnel. Later testing showed the 
entrance appears as an impenetrable rocky talus to anyone not 
carrying gold. Both Agent L and Agent D wore gold signet 
rings. 


After a short sump, the entrance tunnel leads into an irregularly 
shaped underground hall, 47 m (I) x 23 m (w) x 27 m (h) in its largest 
dimensions. Most of the hall is occupied by the carcass of a 
creature, laying in pooled red water, from which the anomalous 
sound pattern emanates. The carcass, designated SCP-2278-A, 
resembles that of a specimen of Balaenoptera musculus in an 
advanced state of decay. It possesses several features reminiscent 
of Homo sapiens : misshapen arms and legs, a mane of fine blonde 
hair and a human-like, feminine face. 


Necropsy of SCP-2278-A has shown an aberrant genetic makeup 
with only passable correspondences with B. musculus and H. 
sapiens genomes. The analyzed tissue is heavily contaminated by 
organic __ pollutants: organophosphates, dinitro-ortho-cresol, 
endosulfan, mercury ethoxyethyl-hydroxyde, dyes and_ other 
compounds. This contaminant profile matches both that of the red 
water found in the cave and of the 1986 Schweizerhalle chemical 
spill. 


37 human bodies were recovered from the cave, in various states of 
decay. Autopsy of the freshest ones indicate death from exposure 
and dehydration. Unconsumed supplies were recovered, lending 
credence to the hypothesis that direct SCP-2278 exposure causes a 
deep and acute form of melancholia. None of the recovered artifacts 
were older than the second quarter of the 19th century. 


Given the touristic nature of the site, non-destructive extraction of 
SCP-2278-A is not feasible. In situ containment, tentative Euclid 
classification and application of the Genius Loci protocol were 
requested on 11/5/1996 and subsequently approved. ISO 7010- 
W003 signage is installed underwater near the entrance to 
discourage access. A secure airlock was built to restrict access 
through the tunnel. The main hall was soundproofed with 50 cm of 
low pressure spray polyurethane foam. 


Addendum: Internal Memo - DoE/LdC/18-4-1996-IM-1 


Complete and undisturbed. What a _ lovely para- 
archeological record. Heine, 1824. Nothing we recovered 
was much older than the poem. This isn't the first 
anomaly we find that was created through manifestation 


of belief. This is, however, the first time we have solid, 
material proof towards that hypothesis. Only time will tell 
if the Genius Loci protocol can alter those anomalies just 
enough to make them non threatening. But this is our 
perfect test subject.

SCP-2279: THE PEOPLE'S PET STORE 


Item #: SCP-2279 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: A false construction project has 
been set up around SCP-2279 to prevent civilians from entering the 
structure. The interior of the anomaly is to be monitored via 
surveillance cameras. 


Only Foundation operatives are allowed into SCP-2279. Testing of 
D-Class must be carefully monitored to observe the requirements for 
SCP-2279 activation. 


Description: SCP-2279 is a pet store located in , Tennessee. A 
sign reading "THE PEOPLE'S PET SHOP" hangs above the door of 
the structure. The building lacks windows and its only entrance is 
the front door. SCP-2279 is occupied by various domesticated 
animals, hereby designated SCP-2279-A, and humanoid entities, 
hereby designated SCP-2279-B. 


While humans are not within SCP-22791, instances of SCP-2279-A 
are almost always seriously wounded in some manner, such as 
missing limbs, mutilated faces, and infected gashes running all 
along their bodies. While inside of SCP-2279, these entities seem to 
be in constant pain due to their injuries. Occasionally a new instance 
of SCP-2279-A will manifest within the structure. SCP-2279-A 
entities cannot be killed by any conventional means. 


Instances of SCP-2279-B do not manifest unless a human enters 
the structure. At this time, the wounds on SCP-2279-A entities will 
appear to have healed either considerably or entirely. Upon entering 
SCP-2279, one of two events will occur: either the subject will be 
mostly ignored by SCP-2279-A and SCP-2279-B entities until they 
leave or the subject will be approached by one instance of 
SCP-2279-B, who will insist that the subject purchase a very specific 


SCP-2279-A entity for either large sums of money or in exchange for 
something very personal. Any attempts to purchase anything other 
than what is offered when it is offered will be met with resistance. 
The former situation has occurred almost every time the Foundation 
has attempted to research the anomaly following its discovery2, 
while the latter usually happens when an unaware civilian enters the 
structure. Persons without knowledge of SCP-2279’s anomalous 
nature seem to be somewhat drawn to enter the structure. Currently, 
the criteria for this is unknown. 


If the subject refuses to take the suggestion, the SCP-2279-B 
entities will bar the subject from leaving physically until they have 
agreed to take the instance of SCP-2279-A home. In these cases, 
SCP-2279-B entities exhibited great physical strength and 
resiliences, 


Once the entity is taken to the subject's place of residence, an 
anomalous event will be triggered. This event consists of five stages 
and takes place over the course of eleven (11) weeks on average. 


Stage Length of Time After Description 
Purchase 

Stage 1 Less than two (2) Nothing unusual can 
weeks be seen in either 


subject as of yet. 
However, the human 
subject becomes 
unable to die upon 
leaving SCP-2279. 

Stage 2 Two (2) to six (6) Minor wounds on 

weeks SCP-2279-A begin to 

worsen at a rapid rate, 
often for no visible 
reason. Their owner 
will express increasing 
amounts of distress 
for the condition of the 
entity whether or not 
they are aware of their 
injuries. 


Stage 3 


Stage 4 


Stage 5 


Six (6) to eight (8) 
weeks 


Eight (8) to ten (10) 
weeks 


Ten (10) to eleven 


Wounds covering the 
SCP-2279-A entity 
begin to heal and start 
to manifest on the 
subject. The subject 
will often not 
acknowledge that the 
entity's health appears 
to be improving as 
well as their own 
failing health. At this 
point, they will forgo 
eating, drinking, and 
sleeping in order to 
care for the entity. 
This distress and 
manifestation of 
injuries occurs even 
when the subject is 
unable to actually view 
or have any 
knowledge about 
SCP-2279-A. 

During this time 
period, the owner's 
condition will worsen 
until they are 
physically incapable of 
moving, usually due to 
the deterioration of 
their muscles. The 
SCP-2279-A instance 
will become healthier 
during this time to the 
point where they are 
in a better condition 
than they appeared to 
be in when intitally 
leaving SCP-2279. 
SCP-2279-A will 


(11) weeks consume the immobile 
subject and 
demanifest. 


Interview-2279-Eta: On 05/12/2012, Foundation agents entered 
SCP-2279 with the intention of continuing observation and collecting 
data on the anomaly. At this point, several interviews with 
SCP-2279-B had already been conducted. 


Interviewed: SCP-2279-B-17 
Interviewer: Agent Fredricks, Agent Timmons 


Foreword: As per Foundation protocol, Agent Fredricks 
was accompanied by a newer Foundation operative so 
that they could gain field experience. The operative in 
question was Agent Timmons. 


<Begin Log> 
Fredricks: Hello, SCP-2279-B-17. 


SCP-2279-B-17: Oh, hey, you again. | don't suppose 
you'd be any more willing to call me "Sam" than you 
were the last three times, hm? 


Fredricks: B-17, | believe you know the answer to that 
already. 


SCP-2279-B-17: [sighs audibly, notices Agent Timmons] 
Oooh, they're new, aren't they? Welcome to the People's 
Pet Shop, where second chances really do happen. You 
look like you could use some company? Especially since 
your apartment has become [prolonged exhale] so much 
quieter recently, hmm? 


Timmons: |— 


Fredricks: [interrupting] B-17, | believe | am addressing 
you right now. Now— 


SCP-2279-B-17: [interrupting] Oh, shut up, it's not like 


you were gonna ask anything new anyway. [addressing 
Timmons] Sooo, how would you like to take... this one? 
[offers Agent Timmons a calico cat, hereby referred to as 
SCP-2279-A-042.4] 


Timmons: [stares at SCP-2279-A-042] |... | can't... 


SCP-2279-B-17: Oh, | assure you, miss, you can. Don't 
you want her? She seems to really want you. 


Timmons: Please... | don't... | didn't mean to... 


Fredricks: Agent, |... [clears his throat] | believe at this 
time that it would be our best option to take it. We will 
study this more back at the site. 


Timmons: ...Yé@s, sir. 


SCP-2279-B-17: [looking directly at Agent Timmons one 
eyebrow raised, smiling] Have a nice day, now. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Agent Fredricks and Agent 
Timmons escorted SCP-2279-A-042 to Site 23. The 
entity was placed into Temporary Containment Chamber 
#242 while Agent Fredricks escorted Agent Timmons to 
be interviewed in order to more fully investigate the 
anomaly. See Interview-2279-Theta.

please summarize the events leading up to this 
interview. 


Timmons: [silence for several seconds before speaking. 
When she does, she speaks softly and slowly] | was 
investigating SCP-2279 with Agent Fredricks. | came 
along to get experience working as an operative of the 
Foundation. | was addressed by one of the entities 
associated with the anomaly, who offered me Eil— 
[stops herself, gulps] SCP-2279-A-042. Given that all 
noted previous attempts by other persons to exit 
SCP-2279 without accepting the offer before this point 
had been met with harsh physical resistance, it was 
determined that the best course of action would be to 
comply with the entity. SCP-2279-A-042 is currently 
contained in a temporary holding cell. 


Harmon: Excellent. Now, Timmons, you seem to 
recognize this entity. 


Timmons: Yes. 
Harmon: Can you tell me how? 


Timmons: /pauses for approximately five (5) seconds] 
The entity looks identical to my old pet, Eileen, who died 
a few months ago. 


Harmon: | see. How did she die? 


Timmons: /pauses for approximately ten (10) seconds] 
|... | made a mistake. | was trying this new thing, 
something fun for myself, making a pizza. | got 
everything out: the dough, the cheese, the pepperoni, 
everything, when my friend called, said it was an 
emergency. | rushed over only to find it was a surprise 
party for... well, me. She noticed | had been a little down 
at the time and thought it could cheer me up. And it did. 
But | was there for so long that | lost track of time and 
ended up staying overnight. When | got home I... I... 
[gulps] Did you know that raw bread dough is poisonous 


to cats? | didn't. | sure didn't. I... found her, curled up in 
my closet and... and... [trails off] 


Harmon: | believe that's enough about that incident. 
Was this pet treated well prior to this? 


Timmons: | tried, certainly. But | was struggling at the 
time, just trying to get by and... some days it was hard to 
remember to find time for her. To take care of her. To... 
[long inhale] to feed her. |... wanted to give her a good 
home but | guess... [trails off] 


Harmon: | see. Thank you, Agent Timmons. Now, I'm 
sure you're aware that, due to the nature of this anomaly, 
we unfortunately cannot let you go. You will be escorted 
to a temporary holding cell until we can find a way to 
take care of this. 


Timmons: | understand. Thank you. 
<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Agent Timmons was escorted to 
Temporary Humanoid Holding Chamber #422 
immediately after this interview.

« SCP-2278 | SCP-2279 | SCP-2280 » 


SCP-2280: Extra Nightly Cow 


Item #: SCP-2280 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2280 is kept ina 
dedicated paddock measuring 1 km? in area at Biological Research 
Area-12, surrounded by a 10 m buffer zone. This paddock is fenced 
in by 4 m tall reinforced concrete walls with infrared cameras 
mounted every 10 m along the periphery. Automatic watering and 
supplemental feed troughs are provided for the use of SCP-2280. All 
other care needs, including veterinary care, are to be handled via 
telepresence robots. 


No vertebrate animal is allowed within 8 m of SCP-2280 outside of 
experimentation. Should any animal become affected by 
SCP-2280's properties, attempts will be made to retrieve the body 
before SCP-2280 can finish consuming it. Should these attempts 
fail, fluoroprotein fire suppression foam must be sprayed over 
SCP-2280 beginning 5 minutes prior to the following sunrise until the 
final effect has ceased. 


Description: SCP-2280 is an adult female Bos taurus whose 
tissues absorb 100% of all electromagnetic radiation with 
wavelength between 370 nm and 770 nm’. This results in 
SCP-2280 appearing as a pure black silhouette from any angle, 
without visible details. Aside from this and the additional anomalous 
properties described below, SCP-2280 is genetically and functionally 
identical to a non-anomalous cow, including diet and thermal 
signature. 


If any vertebrate animal weighing more than 2 kg comes within 

5.25 m of SCP-2280, there is an approximately 50% probability that 
it will become neuromuscularly paralyzed. If this occurs, SCP-2280 
will approach the paralyzed animal and consume it in no more than 
1.5 hours, despite being otherwise herbivorous. For creatures which 


are too large for SCP-2280 to swallow whole, it will use its hooves 
and incisors to separate soft tissues from the skeletal system into 
bite-sized chunks, as well as break or crush overly large bony 
structures into more readily-consumable sizes. 


The following sunrise, SCP-2280 will go into labor and give birth to 
an instance of SCP-2280-1, an animal of identical morphology to the 
consumed animal, with the exception that it emits light at 100,000 
lux equally along the entire wavelength spectrum of 370-770 nm. 
Approximately 95% of SCP-2280-1 instances are stillborn, and their 
luminence rapidly decreases to the point that they are observably 
identical to the animal that SCP-2280 had consumed. SCP-2280 will 
ignore these instances, which can be retrieved for later analysis. 
The remaining 5% of SCP-2280-1 will immediately rise after being 
born and move to suckle from SCP-2280, regardless of the species 
of their originating animal. After suckling for no more than 15 
minutes, the instance of SCP-2280-1 will move away from 
SCP-2280, increase temperature to more than 1000 C° within 0.4 
seconds, and jump directly upwards. It will then accelerate upwards 
at approximately 37 m/s? before abruptly vanishing 1.7 km above the 
ground. 


Instances of SCP-2280-1 resulting from D-class personnel have not 
responded to communication attempts, but have been heard 
mumbling in an unknown language. Linguistic analysis has not 
succeeded in translating their soeech, but have noted similarities to 
languages in the Afroasiatic family, particularly Coptic Egyptian.

SCP-2281: Backseat Driver 


Item #: SCP-2281 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2281 has been 
disengaged from the rest of the Interstate Highway System through 
a Foundation-instigated landslide. U.S. Route 50 has been rerouted 
roughly 10 kilometers north of SCP-2281. 


The property has been surrounded by a warehouse complex under 
the front company "Security Construction Programs" which is 
designated Containment Sector-77. Due to the stability of 
SCP-2281, once per year MTF-y-7 "Home Improvement" 
stages a high-level training on this property, and personnel within 
Containment Sector-77 should consult their Level 3 supervisor as to 
their instructions during that time. SCP-2281 currently has no 
research projects associated with it. 


Description: SCP-2281 is a 1.2 km stretch of road which was 
formerly a part of U.S. Route 50. SCP-2281 is located near Delta, 
Utah and contains a steep turn with little warning. Irregular auditory 
anomalies occur in vehicles which travel along SCP-2281 at a speed 
higher than the previously posted speed limit of 60 miles per hour 
(approximately 97 kilometers per hour). 


Auditory anomalies manifest in the rear seat on the driver's side of 
vehicles. Initially this manifests as a request for vehicle operators to 
slow their vehicles to comply with the posted speed limit. 
SCP-2281's effect, however, triggers irregularly. Manifestations tend 
to occur more frequently in situations that involve circumstances 
which impair driver performance. Heightened levels of occurrence 
have been shown to correlate to nighttime driving, driving in difficult 
weather conditions, and driving while intoxicated. 


Prior to discovery, SCP-2281 was noted by the Utah Department of 


Transportation to have statistically higher accident rates than similar 
roads, with records indicating an elevated accident rate as early as 
1928. A Foundation agent passing through the area on December 
8th, 1984 experienced SCP-2281's effect, and began enacting 
containment. Containment Sector-77 has been considered to be 
fully operational since September 18th, 1985, and SCP-2281 has 
been classified as Safe since that time. 


Addendum 2281-A: On 01/22/2003, Foundation 
personnel were able to communicate with SCP-2281. 
Further interviews were infrequent and yielded little 
additional information, and testing was subsequently re- 
terminated. 


Interviewed: SCP-2281 
Interviewer: Agent Boyd 


Foreword: Log recorded while Agent Boyd was driving a 
Foundation vehicle on SCP-2281 


<Begin Log> 
SCP-2281: Slow down! 
Agent Boyd: Who are you? 


SCP-2281: I'm the guy telling you to slow down. This is 
my road. 


Agent Boyd: Can you state your identity? 
SCP-2281: |'m the boss. Hey! | said slow down! 
Agent Boyd: Well, what do you call yourself? 


SCP-2281: Well, | used to be a forest boss back when 
there were trees here, but now I'm the highway boss. 


Agent Boyd: From where do those names originate? 


SCP-2281: Where do any names come from? I've 


always had it. The little guys used to live in the forest, so 
| was the forest boss. Then they got rid of the forest and 
put this road down. So that makes me the highway boss. 
| used to be the boss of the people in the forest, now I'm 
the boss of the people in the cars. And | told you to slow 
down! 


Agent Boyd: Why do you talk to the drivers who go 
down this road? 


SCP-2281: | used to give advice to the forest guys. But 
then they got rid of the forest. Took a while but 
eventually Denton told me what to do to be a good 
highway boss here. There's a sharp curve coming up, 
ease off the gas pedal lady. 


Agent Boyd: Who is Denton? 


SCP-2281: Trooper Denton? He told me how dangerous 
this road was, and he's not wrong. You wouldn't believe 
how many car crashes I've had to watch. But he said that 
it would be a civic duty to try and help people out instead 
of hanging around being creepy. | felt like an idiot cause 
he was so right. Anyway that's what I'm up to these days. 
What about you? Are you from out of state? Just passing 
through? 


Agent Boyd: Why do you stay on this road? 


SCP-2281: Don't got time for that one. We're coming up 
on the edge now. Why don't you go talk to Denton? From 
the look of things you'll get over to him pretty quick, 
right? 


Agent Boyd: Thank you for your cooperation. 
SCP-2281: Sure thing, miss. Be safe. 


Addendum 2281-B: Subsequent investigation 
revealed a Highway Patrolman named Calvin 
Denton had formerly worked along this route, 


but he had been killed in a traffic collision while 
off-duty in 1999. 


LEVEL 3 ACCESS REQUIRED 


Addendum 2281-C: On 06/14/2009, Foundation agents 
discovered that Calvin Denton had not been killed in 
1999. This discovery was made after Mr. Denton entered 
Foundation custody following his participation as an 
agent in an operation opposing Foundation interests. 
This interview was taken after his capture. During his 
custody, Mr. Denton attempted to alert Foundation 
personnel as to the existence of SCP-2281, and was not 
aware of its current containment procedures. 


Interviewed: Calvin Denton [GOC Agent] 
Interviewer: Agent Aaron Ekblad 


Foreword: Interview took place within 
Sector-85. 


<Begin Log> 
Agent Ekblad: Hello, Mister Denton. 
Calvin Denton: Afternoon, | think. 


Agent Ekblad: Are you aware of why you are 
being questioned today? 


Calvin Denton: | am. 


Agent Ekblad: What is your relationship with 
the anomaly classified as SCP-2281 ? 


Calvin Denton: It's how | found out about 
the... veil? Whatever you wanna call it. | was 
driving down the Interstate, and it just started 
talking to me one day. It said he was just 
around and wanted to talk. 


Agent Ekblad: You communicated with the 
entity? 


Calvin Denton: Multiple times. The first few | 
was kinda bewildered, but after the third time | 
said if | found it again, I'd tell it to do something 
constructive. 


Agent Ekblad: What did you do? 


Calvin Denton: There'd been a lot of 
accidents on this road for a long time, so | told 
him that he should try and do something about 
it, since it was a pretty dangerous stretch of 
road. 


Agent Ekblad: Were you aware of the object's 
properties? 


Calvin Denton: | just knew that the thing could 
talk to me at will, and it seemed to be invisible. 
Thought it might've been the big guy, but | 
know better now. 


Agent Ekblad: Why didn't you report this to 
the GOC when they hired you? 


Calvin Denton: Well, you know how we do 
our business. | just... you know, it was the first 
thing | ever found, before any of this ever 
happened. And it was mostly harmless! Didn't 
do anything to anyone. It's just... sentiment, | 
guess. I'm pretty glad to hear that you guys 
have a hold of him, though. | guess he'll be 
Okay. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Following this interview, 
and pursuant to previous agreements with the 
GOC, Calvin Denton was released from 


Foundation custody. Though the subject has 
since continued his work with the GOC, he has 
been noted as an especially promising 
candidate for Foundation recruitment.

SCP-2282: Goat. 


Item #: SCP-2282 
Object Class: Neutralized (Formerly Euclid) 


Special Containment Procedures: (Former. SCP-2282 is now 
deceased.) SCP-2282 is to be kept under the care of the Area-12 
Parazoology Department in an outdoor enclosure. SCP-2282 should 
never come closer than a distance of one hundred meters (100 m) 
to any structure or tree. SCP-2282 is to have appropriate 
maintenance for a domestic goat. 


Description: SCP-2282 is a female young mammal of a unique 
subspecies closely related to Capra aegagrus hircus, classified as 
C. a. spatium. SCP-2282 is of normal size and externally identical to 
a common domesticated goat. SCP-2282's skeletal, muscular, and 
cranial anatomy is identical. 


SCP-2282's digestive tract is a highly non-Euclidean array of spacial 
distortions warped to increase its internal volume to at least 
seventeen thousand cubic meters (17,000 m§), consisting of over 
eight thousand (8000) separate stomachs. The digestive tract of 
SCP-2282 is complicated and nonlinear with seemingly no 
organized purpose. The total mass of SCP-2282 is at least sixteen 
million kilograms (16,000,000 kg), but externally appears to have a 
mass of only 89 kg, a normal amount for a goat of its apparent 
breed. These additional organs also apparently do not require 
additional sustenance to function, as SCP-2282's material diet is 
normal. 


SCP-2282 consumes matter by incorporating the space that 
contains that matter into its own body. This space is removed from 
an area near SCP-2282's mouth while grazing, and manipulated so 
that its exterior is shrunk as it is transported to inside of SCP-2282's 
digestive tract. The cavity this creates within SCP-2282 is then filled 
with new flesh and organs. SCP-2282 consumes approximately 


three cubic meters (3 m%) per day. 


Addendum: SCP-2282 was discovered on 3 Feb 2001 on a goat 
ranch in central California after Foundation gravitational-wave 
observatories in Area-6, Area-22, and Site-20 began detecting a 
small, regular tremor in the curvature of spacetime. The anomaly 
was triangulated, and the farm was investigated and purchased after 
the effect was confirmed. 


Addendum: Correspondence between Dr. Carrs and Overwatch 
Council, 22 Apr 2014 


SCP-2282 has begun showing signs of aging and ill health 
appropriate to a goat of its age. Barring more intense medical care, 
it has maybe four more months left alive. | am seeking approval to 
euthanize SCP-2282 on 1 May 2014 before it dies of natural causes 
to allow it to decease in a controlled environment, and to study its 
anatomy before it undergoes organ failure. - Dr. Carrs 


Approved. - O5-9 


Addendum: Euthanasia of SCP-2282 proceeded as planned until 
the moment of death. After injection by Dr. Dangson, SCP-2282's 
interior instantaneously distorted itself to match Euclidean space. 
This resulted in a bubble of new space sixty-seven meters (67 m) in 
diameter appearing from SCP-2282's abdomen, warping all space in 
the surrounding area. 


Dr. Dangson, standing directly next to SCP-2282 during the 
distortion, was killed instantaneously from massive anatomical 
deformation. Dr. Carrs entered critical condition and died six hours 
later from cerebral hemorrhaging. Dr. Ohman and Dr. Jept suffered 
severe skeletal and anatomical deformation; Dr. Jept required 
amputation of his left arm and leg, and Dr. Ohman is currently 
undergoing intensive physical therapy to regain full mobility. 


The sphere of new space was filled with goat entrails which 
immediately collapsed to fill the dimple in the ground created by the 
distortion and overflow into the surrounding area. 


Addendum: Excavation of SCP-2282's remains has revealed that 


some of SCP-2282's stomachs were not filled with digestive fluid, 
and contained objects that were kept relatively well preserved, 
including several that would have been too large for SCP-2282 to 
have consumed whole. Objects currently discovered in the remains 
include: 


* 1 wooden architectural ruler 

¢ 4 Tic Tac brand candy boxes (empty, various flavors) 

¢ 1 "Pikachu Pedometer" instruction booklet 

¢ 11 rocks (various sizes) 

* 1 large wood lathe 

¢ 22 various wood lathe tools 

* 7 playing cards (standard) 

* 9 playing cards (identified as part of the "7th Sea Collectible 
Card Game") 

* 1 giraffe skeleton (whole) 

* 1 halogen light bulb 

¢ 1 stainless steel dresser 

¢ 191 Elmer's brand glue sticks 

* 1 beehive (whole, dormant) 

* 6 vacuum tubes

SCP-2283: Spirit Bomb 


Item #: SCP-2283 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-2283 found 
in the field are to be disarmed by Class D resources possessing 
military or law enforcement equivalent certifications in Explosive 
Ordnance Disposal. Under no circumstances are Foundation 
personnel permitted to approach an instance of SCP-2283 
presumed or suspected of possessing a live payload. 


In the event appropriate Class D resources are unavailable to 
deactivate an instance of SCP-2283, the instance is to be remotely 
detonated from a safe distance using any appropriate explosive 
projectile. 


Under no circumstances are Foundation personnel to use remotely 
controlled vehicles to dispose of instances of SCP-2283, although if 
no other situational alternative exists, the acting HMCL supervisors! 
may authorize the use of Class D resources to perform this task. 
Personnel should refer to Incident Log 2283-12 for more information. 


Deactivated instances of SCP-2283 are to be stored at least 50m 
underground in a facility designed to hold high explosive munitions 
with standard Foundation physical security and surveillance 
measures, in ordnance magazines built with aluminum non-sparking 
shelving. Currently, Ordnance Bunker 12 at Site-19 has been 
selected for this purpose. 


Under no circumstances are personnel below security classification 
2283-2 to be permitted entry to the selected storage site, with the 
exception of qualified Class D resources selected to perform 
mandatory biweekly inventory and degradation inspections. 


Partial data on non-anomalous aspects of SCP-2283-A's molecular 


composition is to be added to the Threat Recognition Analytics 
Certified Realtime (TRACR)2 forensic database to aid Foundation 
anterior detection and containment efforts. Foundation police 
liaisons in all regions where instances of SCP-2283 have been 
deployed or are suspected to be deployed must be trained in the 
item's detection, and are to alert their regional command upon 
reasonable suspicion of such deployment. 


If Foundation personnel become aware of the detonation of an 
instance of SCP-2283 in a civilian area, Foundation intelligence 
assets are to immediately enact Procedure False Flag, entailing the 
the return of falsified human remains to relatives of the victims, and 
blame for the incident to be attributed to the most convincing 
possible perpetrator. 


Description: SCP-2283 is a collection of 287 individual munitions 
and explosive devices of varying design, yield, age and 
manufacture, including but not limited to hand grenades, improvised 
explosive devices, timed charges and field ordnance. Instances of 
SCP-2283 resemble traditional explosives in most respects, 
including non-anomalous mechanical and electronic components, 
wiring, and blasting caps. 


However, the explosive component of each SCP-2283 instance is 
composed of SCP-2283-A, an unknown material superficially 
resembling RDX (PVV-5A), but with several unexplained physical 
propertiess. 


Every recorded instance of the detonation of an instance of 
SCP-2283 has resulted in damage to nearby inanimate objects as 
would otherwise be expected for a non-anomalous RDX device of 
an equivalent yield. However, persons within the blast radius of an 
SCP-2283 instance will not suffer the effects of said explosion, but 
will instead instantaneously vanish along with all possessions on 
their person4 from known space, and mirror the creation of 
SCP-2283-B, Class 4 Incorporeal Entities® with unique 
characteristics. 


Instances of SCP-2283-B are unable to perceive or interact with 
each other directly and do not appear to require sustenance or 
conditions required for homeostasis in non-anomalous humanoids. It 


is currently unknown how long instances of SCP-2283-B remain 
extant, though available evidence indicates no known maximum 
lifespan of the entities. 


Through test detonations with Class D resources, it has been 
determined SCP-2283-B instances report subjective experiences 
consistent with continuity of consciousness between base and 
incorporeal states®. Foundation scientific personnel became aware 
of SCP-2283-B upon the interception of anomalous communications 
in the form of phone calls, text messages, and other electronic 
messages apparently composed by the entities. Personnel with 
security classification 2283-2 or higher should refer to logs 2283-1 
through 2283-495. 


Instances of SCP-2283 have been recovered in the course of 
Foundation security operations from a variety of groups of interest, 
as well as recovered from conflict zones and law enforcement 
agencies responding to bomb threats or reports of suspicious 
objects, in at least 65 different countries. Direct attacks on 
Foundation personnel and assets involving SCP-2283 is suspected 
in atleast incidents. Foundation intelligence has been unable to 
determine the source of SCP-22837. 


LOG-2283-17 


After a confirmed detonation of an instance of 
SCP-2283 [REDACTED], resulting in six 
civilian casualties, Foundation personnel 
intercepted text messages sent from a number 
matching the phone of SCP-2283-B-12 to 
POI-2283-58, the instance's father, arriving 
approximately five hours later. A partial 
transcript follows. 


SCP-2283-B-12: dad i love you 
SCP-2283-B-12: dad please answer there was 
an explosion i'm hurt 

POI-2283-58: ? is that you? where have 
you been? 

POI-2283-58: your mother and i have been 
worried sick. the police won't tell us anything. 


where are you? 

SCP-2283-B-12: dad im here 
POI-2283-58: is this ? 
SCP-2283-B-12: dad 

SCP-2283-B-12: dad please 
SCP-2283-B-12: im outside do you see me 
please say you see me 

POI-2283-58: i'm calling the police. 
SCP-2283-B-12: dad why cant you see 
SCP-2283-B-12: please 
SCP-2283-B-12: it hurts so much 


POI-2283-58 has reported similar 
communications from SCP-2283-B-12 ona 
sporadic basis for the past years. 


INCIDENT LOG 2283-12 


On // _ ,upon the detection of an instance of 
SCP-2283 in the Battery Park City neighborhood of New 
York City, Foundation security operative Mitchell Sonmer 
attempted to destroy the instance using a remotely 
controlled model MK4 "Wheelbarrow" disposal robot. 
Upon successful detonation, operative Sonmer 
dematerialized. 


Foundation personnel have not received any 
communications from any entity claiming to be Sohmer 
subsequent to this event. 


ADDENDUM-2283-1 


The following is excerpted from: Charalambou, L. E. 
(2009). ‘Theoretical frameworks of anomalous terrorism: 
SCP-2283.' Foundation Level 3 Security Review, 8, 
101-129. 


Many modern terrorism theorists ascribe to a 
so-called realist model of terrorism, 
envisioning the use of terror tactics as a 
rational choice made by rational agents in 


pursuit of concrete goals. Others from the 
constructivist school, or those who understand 
terrorism through the perspective of 
organizational process theory, tend to propose 
the fundamental nature of terrorism is a social 
construct, and that various actors conduct 
terrorist activities not just for the narrow 
purpose of achieving political goals, but as the 
predictable result of alienating social and 
political realities. 


Either approach envisions an act of terrorism 
as inflicted upon victims, but primarily intended 
for another party entirely - the audience, the 
public, who will be filled with fear. Hence the 
term terrorism. 


SCP-2283 is not a tool for terrorists, at least as 
that term is used in the mundane world of 
politics and violence. A non-anomalous bomb 
inspires fear, pain, suffering; it leaves behind 
physical evidence of the power of those who 
put it there in the form of dead bodies, maimed 
survivors and tortured lives. But when an 
SCP-2283 device detonates the victims simply 
disappear without the requisite carnage. 


At least for us, the audience. But to the victim, 
the blast has apparently eternal 
consequences. Imagine: being blasted into 
eternal solitude, like a cursed spirit, forced to 
wander in isolation for all we know until the 
heat death of the universe. 


In other words, very unpleasant. Thus at face 
value the erstwhile analyst may conclude it is a 
technology more suited to retaliation or 
revenge against specific individuals or 
organizations than terrorizing an entire 
population. 


However, standard models of terrorism apply 
to some extent ... groups aware of, or 
engaged in the use of anomalous phenomena 
may be aware of the existence of SCP-2283 
devices, and the threat of their use may inspire 
greater terror and fear than the deadliest of 
traditional bombs. 


INCIDENT LOG 2283-292 


On 06/17/2016, MTF Rho-17 ("Counter-Terrorists Win") 
recovered 200 fully loaded 7.62mm magazines 
containing SCP-2283-A incendiary rounds from an 
armory in -controlled territory in ,  . Testing 
with Class D resources has demonstrated the rounds 
result in similar anomalous effects including the 
instantaneous transition of humanoid targets to a Class 4 
Incorporeal Entity. 


Four members of MTF Rho-17 were reported MIA during 
the initial operation. After consultation with the SCP-2283 
HMCL supervisors over the feasibility of retrieving these 
personnel, all four have been awarded the Foundation 
Star for distinguished service.

SCP-2284: Mr. Lie 


Item #: SCP-2284 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2284 is to be held within a 
standard humanoid containment chamber within Hall of Site- . 
Only D-Class personnel are to communicate with SCP-2284. 


Description: SCP-2284 is a male humanoid of Indian descent that 
is almost genetically identical to SCP-2148. The words "Mr. Lie, 
from Little Misters ® by Dr. Wondertainment" are tattooed upon 
SCP-2284's left bicep. 


The speech of SCP-2284 exhibits a cognitohazardous effect that 
causes others that sense it to believe all declarations and 
statements made by SCP-2284 are objectively true. Direct audio 
recordings are subject to this effect. Questions posed by SCP-2284 
exhibit no anomalous properties, nor do transcriptions of its speech. 
Testing has begun to determine whether this property applies to 
things SCP-2284 writes or types. 


SCP-2284 is physically incapable of making true statements. 
However, it is able to communicate somewhat effectively by relying 
on rhetorical questions and series of questions that lead others to 
the desired conclusion. 


Research is currently underway to determine a possible connection 
between SCP-2284 and SCP-2148-2. 


Addendum A: The following transcript is from an interview between 
D-22841 and SCP-2284, recorded by a Foundation speech to text 
program. Minor edits were made afterward to correct small errors 
made by the program. Text in italicized brackets are notes by 
D-22841 during the interview concerning the body language and 
verbal tone of SCP-2284. 


+ Open interview 


D-22841: Hey. | gotta read you these questions 
and write how you react. They have it set up so a 
computer will type out everything we say. That 
alright? 


SCP-2284: Why wouldn't it be? 

D-22841: Right. So. How are you today, 2284? 
SCP-2284: Couldn't be better. How are you? 
D-22841: Eh, could be better. 

[Both laugh] 


D-22841: Right, so first thing. In 1995 there was an 
incident featuring SCP-2148, and— 


SCP-2284: What's that? 


D-22841: Um. One sec, let me double check the 
number. Ah, right. Blindfolded guy, calls himself 
Mister Stripes. 


(SCP-2284 sits up) 


SCP-2284: (Speaks urgently,) What happened to 
Stripes? 


D-22841: Nothing to him, more that he did 
something. | think. Or the doctors think, | guess. 
This black bar showed up on the cameras for a 
while, and then at the end he had this photo. Later, 
when they looked at his Little Misters list, your 
name was blacked out. 


(SCP-2284 becomes progressively more relaxed 
during explanation) 


SCP-2284: (Relieved?) Oh, is that all? Stripes 


himself is alright? 


D-22841: So far as | know. You didn't have 
anything to do with that? 


SCP-2284: Absolutely not. | can't imagine what 
kind of sly trickster would even attempt such a feat. 


D-22841: Alright. Let's see. Are you aware of your 
anomalous properties? 


SCP-2284: Anomalous properties? 


D-22841: Magic stuff, basically. Um. It says you 
can convince anyone of anything you say. 


SCP-2284: How would they know, if anyone | 
speak to is affected? 


D-22841: Read transcripts, | guess. Which is what 
I'm here for. 


SCP-2284: They think of everything, don't they? | 
don't think I'll be able to outwit these people. By 
that logic, any response | give to you is worthless 
to you? 


D-22841: Yeah. But the doctors will know what's 
really up. 


SCP-2284: Why don't | try circumventing that little 
issue, then? Would | be sitting here calm and 
collected if | didn't belong here? 


D-22841: Wouldn't that still just be you trying to 
convince me of something? 


SCP-2284: But did | actually tell you anything, or 
simply ask you a question? You're still able to

D-22841: Was that a question? 
(SCP-2284 smiles) 


SCP-2284: That's a good question isn't it [Speech

this dialogue.] 


("That's a good question, isn't it?" or "That's a good 
question. Isn't it?” Fuck | don't know doc) 


SCP-2284: Are there other questions? 


D-22841: Can you tell me about the other Little 
Misters? 


SCP-2284: Who do you have so far? 


D-22841: Stripes, obviously. One second. 
Chameleon. Lost. Brass, Moon, and Forgettul. 


SCP-2284: I'm sure Lost makes your jobs really 
easy. Where did you find Brass? 


D-22841: Let's see. Church of the Broken God. 


SCP-2284: Did they think he was part of their god? 
Man, they could not be further from the truth. 


D-22841: What about the others? You seemed 
concerned about Mister Stripes earlier. 


SCP-2284: How could | not be? Don't brothers 
have to stick together? 


D-22841: Aren't all of you sort of siblings? | think | 
remember reading that in a briefing dossier. 


SCP-2284: Yeah. Sure. Totally keen on the idea of 
being brothers with a corpse with a key in its back. 
Did you know | don't always know exactly what's 
going to come out of my mouth? Do | operate on 


some kind of universal truth rather than what | 
understand to be the right answer? Would you 
believe that | once said Stripes wasn't my brother? 
He isn't my brother! He's definitely not my 
biological sibling. So why doesn't he seem to 
realize that we're actual twins, truly blood related? 
Do you think he just sees me as one of nineteen 
siblings? 


D-22841: Didn't you just— You know what, let's 
just move on. What can you tell us about Doctor 
Wondertainment? 


SCP-2284: His name is Isiah Crawford, and— 
(Confused,) Wait, how did | say that? What did | 
tell you just now? 


D-22841: That his name is Isiah Crawford. 


SCP-2284: (Speaking to itself,) That is his name, 
though... The man known as Doctor 
Wondertainment has always been Doctor 
Wondertainment. Is that the game? Doctor 
Wondertainment was never Isiah Crawford. Doctor 
Wondertainment is just the name of a company. 
Doctor Wondertainment is a male human. What 
the fuck did the old man do? 


(I can hear what he's muttering, but I'm not sure 
what he means. I'm getting a really bad migraine 
as he talks) 


D-22841: What are you talking about? 


SCP-2284: Are you familiar with Doctor 
Wondertainment? Do you think that name is 
referring to a specific person, or the company? 


D-22841: Both. You just said that. Doctor 
Wondertainment is a male human named Isiah 
Crawford who is just a company that was never 


Isiah Crawford [Speech to text program was 
unable to give punctuation to this dialogue.] 


SCP-2284: Are you okay? Oh, what am | thinking? 
I'm sure you just got tired of talking, that's all. You 
have no reason to pass out from mental strain. 


SCP-2284: Can someone help him? 


SCP-2284: You're not going to die. Oh fuck | killed 
you, you're going to die because of me. Oh, you're 
not, are you? You have to die at some point, don't 
you? Probably during something like a mass 
termination at the end of the month. Because that 
makes sense. 


SCP-2284: Are you guys coming? Can't you see 
this guy needs help? 


SCP-2284: Oh, what's this paper you were writing 
on? 


SCP-2284: No, just looking. 


(You cannot consciously see any of the text | am 
writing. You feel compelled to follow the

(If you are a D-Class you need to give this note to

SCP-2284 when possible. You need to bring a

the print on the obverse side of SCP-2148-1.

“Item #:** SCP-2284 

“Object Class:** Euclid 

“Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-2284 is to be 
held within a standard humanoid containment chamber 
within Hall of Site- adjacent to the cell of SCP-2148. 
SCP-2284 is to remain on the same meal and fitness 
schedule as SCP-2148, and action is not to be taken when 
the two interact. On the seventeenth of every month, 
Doctor Everett Mann is to interview SCP-2148. 
“Description:** SCP-2284 is a male humanoid of Indian 
descent, and is the identical brother of SCP-2148. The 
words "Mr. Lie, from Little Misters ® by Dr. 
Wondertainment" are tattooed upon SCP-2284's left bicep. 
All declarations and statements made by SCP-2284 are 
objectively true. 

SCP-2284 is physically incapable of making false 
statements. 

Testing has revealed that its inability to make false 
statements apply to its writing. 

There is nothing abnormal about the document recovered 
from SCP-2284, and it has been confirmed SCP-2284 had 
never been in a Foundation facility prior to its containment.

D-22841: Hey. | gotta read you these questions and write 
how react. They have it set up so a computer will type out 
everything we say. That alright? 

SCP-2284: Why wouldn't it be? 

D-22841: Right. So. How are you today, 2284? 
SCP-2284: Couldn't be better. How are you? 

D-22841: Eh, could be better. 

[Both laugh] 

D-22841: Right, so first thing. In 1995 there was an incident 
featuring SCP-2148, and— 

SCP-2284: What's that? 

D-22841: Um. One sec, let me double check the number. 
Ah, right. Blindfolded guy, calls himself Mister Stripes. 


(SCP-2284 sits up) 

SCP-2284: (Speaks urgently,) What happened to Stripes? 
D-22841: Nothing to him, more that he did something. | 
think. Or the doctors think, | guess. This black bar showed 
up on the cameras for a while, and then at the end he had 
this photo. Later, when they looked at his Little Misters list, 
your name was blacked out. 

(SCP-2284 becomes progressively more relaxed during 
explanation) 

SCP-2284: (Relieved?) Oh, is that all? Stripes himself is 
alright? 

D-22841: So far as | know. You didn't have anything to do 
with that? 

SCP-2284: Absolutely not. | can't imagine what kind of sly 
trickster would even attempt such a feat. 

D-22841: Alright. Let's see. Are you aware of your 
anomalous properties? 

SCP-2284: Anomalous properties? 

D-22841: Magic stuff, basically. Um. It says you can 
convince anyone of anything you say. 

SCP-2284: How would they know, if anyone | speak to is 
affected? 

D-22841: Read transcripts, | guess. Which is what I'm here 
for. 

SCP-2284: They think of everything, don't they? | don't 
think I'll be able to outwit these people. By that logic, any 
response | give to you is worthless to you? 

D-22841: Yeah. But the doctors will Know what's really up. 
SCP-2284: Why don't | try circumventing that little issue, 
then? Would | be sitting here calm and collected if | didn't 
belong here? 

D-22841: Wouldn't that still just be you trying to convince 
me of something? 

SCP-2284: But did | actually tell you anything, or simply ask 
you a question? You're still able to question this 
conversation [Speech to text program was unable to give

D-22841: Was that a question?

Item #: SCP-2284 

Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2284 is to be held 
within a standard humanoid containment chamber within Hall 
of Site- adjacent to the cell of SCP-2148. SCP-2284 is to 
remain on the same meal and fitness schedule as SCP-2148, 
and action is not to be taken when the two interact. On the 

seventeenth of every month, Doctor Everett Mann is to 
interview SCP-2148. Only D-Class personnel are to 
communicate with SCP-2284. 


Description: SCP-2284 is a male humanoid of Indian 
descent that is almost genetically identical to, and is the 
identical brother of SCP-2148. The words "Mr. Lie, from Little 
Misters ® by Dr. Wondertainment" are tattooed upon 
SCP-2284's left bicep. 


The speech of SCP-2284 exhibits a cognitohazardous effect 
that causes all that hear it to believe allAll declarations and 
statements made by SCP-2284 are objectively true. Direct 
audio recordings of its speech are subject to this effect. 
Questions posed by SCP-2284 exhibit no anomalous 
properties, nor do transcriptions of its anomalous speech. 
Testing has begun to determine whether the writing of 
SCP-2284 possesses this property. 


SCP-2284 is physically incapable of making truefalse 
statements. However, it is able to communicate somewhat 


effectively by relying on rhetorical questions and series of 
questions that lead others to the desired conclusion. 


Research is currently underway to determine a possible 
connection between SCP-2284 and SCP-2148-2.

SCP-2285: Cloudivores 


Item #: SCP-2285 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-2285-1, 
-2, -3, -4, -6, and -7 currently in containment are to be contained 
separately by species, in containment chambers large enough for 
comfortable flight and movement. SCP-2285-5, due to the large 
quantity of currently contained specimens, are to be contained in a 
significantly larger room, with no additional measures besides those 
described above. 


Containment chambers are to be provided with two humidifiers 
running at all times. SCP-2285's containment chambers should be 
cleaned on a weekly basis. Should one of the humidifiers fail, it is to 
be replaced within a week. Subjects should also be given wall- 
mounted perches. Researchers who wish to access SCP-2285 must 
have clearance level 2 or higher. 


Those wishing to donate toys to to SCP-2285 may do so at their 
own discretion. Search for additional specimens of SCP-2285 is 
currently ongoing. It is estimated upwards of one hundred and fifty 
specimens of SCP-2285 are still uncontained, though due to the 
many different species and varieties of avians, this number could be 
well over a hundred thousand. 


Description: SCP-2285 is a designation given to seven different 
species belonging to the class Aves. A set of specific traits are 
common in all of them: 


1. Specimens are able to camouflage themselves by taking on 
the appearance of their environment. When cloaked, the light 
around a specimen appears to bend, and is the only indication 
of their presence. 

2. Subjects require nothing more than condensed water vapor 


for nourishment. SCP-2285 also seem to have preferences in 
regard to cloud types, and SCP-2285-7 invariably prefer 
supercell clouds over any other cloud type. Regardless of 
preference, all SCP-2285 will consume any type of water 
vapor if hungry enough. 

. Subjects always appear to be specimens of extant bird 
species. 

. SCP-2285 are capable of inhalation far past what their lungs 
would allow, and create a vacuum to funnel the water vapor 
into their beaks. 

. Subjects are able to surpass the normal lifespan of each of 
their corresponding species by at least fifty years. 


Designation Appearance Notes 

SCP-2285-1 Archilochus colubris| Specimens of 
(Ruby-throated SCP-2285-1 appear to 
Hummingbird) behave in the same 


manner as any A. 
colubis, aside from 
their eating habits. 
Subjects also give 
SCP-2285-2 through 6 
a wide berth, and do 
not interact with them. 
SCP-2285-1 do not 
interact with humans, 
and will hide 
whenever possible 
from them. 
SCP-2285-1's 
preferred cloud is 
cirrocumulus. There 
are currently forty 
specimens of 
SCP-2285-1 
contained. 


SCP-2285-2 Turdus migratorius | SCP-2285-2 appear to

Macaw) 


species, with one 
exception: 
SCP-2285-2 have 
been shown to be very 
friendly toward 
humans, and when 
called, will perch upon 
the caller's arm. 
SCP-2285-2's 
preferred cloud is 
altocumulus. There 
are currently thirty-six 
specimens of 
SCP-2285-2 
contained. 
SCP-2285-3 behaves 
as normal for its 
corresponding 
species. However, as 
A. glaucus is critically 
endangered, securing 
SCP-2285-3 
specimens for study 
has been difficult. 
Non-anomalous 
specimens of A. 
glaucus are to be 
returned to the wild. 
Only one specimen of 
SCP-2285-3 is 
currently in 
containment. 
SCP-2285-3's 
preferred cloud is 
cumulus.

specimens of 
SCP-2285-4 in 
containment. 
SCP-2285-4's 
preferred cloud is 
Stratus. 
SCP-2285-5's 
preferred cloud is 
nimbostratus. A fully 
formed flock of 
SCP-2285-5 can 
devour an oncoming 
nimbostratus wave 
within minutes. For 
this reason, 
SCP-2285-5 present a 
threat to ecosystems 
that depend on 
essential rainfall. 
SCP-2285-5 have 
been given top 
priority, and staff are 
to be on the lookout 
for any additional 
specimens. There are 
currently three 
hundred and seventy- 
four subjects in 
containment. 
SCP-2285-6 do not 
differ behaviorally 
from their 
corresponding 
species. There are 
currently ten 
specimens in 
containment. 
SCP-2285-6's 
preferred cloud is 


SCP-2285-7 


Haliaeetus 
leucocephalus (Bald 
Eagle) 


Cirrus. 

SCP-2285-7 differ little 
from their 
corresponding species 
behaviorally, with one 
notable difference. 
When treated well and 
given a level of 
respect, SCP-2285-7 
appear to reciprocate 
accordingly. Given 
enough time, 
SCP-2285-7 will land 
on the arm of one with 
whom they seem to 
share this relationship, 
and attack any threats 
directed at the person. 
Why it does this is 
currently unknown. 
There are currently 
three specimens in 
containment. 
SCP-2285-7's 
preferred clouds are 
those found ina 
supercell. As supercell 
clouds contain levels 
of electricity that 
would normally be 
lethal for a normal 
bald eagle, it is 
unclear at this time 
how SCP-2285-7 
processes the 
electricity safely. It 
should also be noted 
that specimens of 
SCP-2285-7 are 
capable of activating 


their inhalation at a 
much greater distance 
than that of other 
instances. This is 
believed to be an 
adaptation, as normal 
bald eagles would be 
unable to fly in 
supercell winds, 
allowing SCP-2285-7 
to feed from a safe 
location. 


Addendum SCP-2285-1 


On //_ , the behavior of all SCP-2285 changed dramatically. 
SCP-2285 refused to eat, instances became restless, and some 
displayed listless behavior, remaining on their perches instead of 
initiating flight. In one extreme case, a large portion of the contained 
SCP-2285-5 began throwing themselves against their containment 
chamber's walls. Staff intervened and managed to prevent further 
harm to the specimens. Three days later, all species' behavior 
returned to normal. 


After reviewing of the data, the date of this event coincides with 
Hurricane , which had indeed gone on for three days, causing 
casualties and approximately $ , in property damage. It is 
assumed SCP-2285-5 were trying to escape containment in order to 
access the massive amounts of water present in the Hurricane 
weather system. 


Addendum SCP-2285-2 


Since SCP-2285's containment in 19 , hurricanes, tornadoes, and 
other severe storms have noticeably worsened and increased, 
according to on-site meteorologists and their reports. Deaths caused 
by severe storms are being recorded more frequently, up to a 25% 
increase over the last years, and storms above F3 on the Fujita 
Scale and Category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson Scale are becoming 
more common. Whether this is due to the lack of SCP-2285 in 
natural environments is unknown. 


Possible use of SCP-2285 as hurricane prevention is being 
discussed.

SCP-2286: If You Build a Better Mousetrap... 


Item #: SCP-2286 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: The components of SCP-2286 
can be stored in standard Safe-class item storage lockers when not 
being tested. Due to the range of their anomalous effects, active 
testing must be conducted off-site; consult Document 2286-9 for a 
list of approved testing locations. 


Description: SCP-2286 consists of a collection of anomalous 
electrical equipment found in and around the home of Mark P — on 
05/17/2001. Objects of note are detailed below. 


SCP-2286-1: A hand-made electrical device measuring 1.4m long, 
and superficially resembling a bipolar Tesla coil. The device has 
wiring consistent with operation at 120V AC, but conforms to no 
known electrical theory. On the base of the device is a toggle switch 
labeled "ON/OFF" and a pair of dials of unknown construction 
labeled "RANGE" and "SPEED". Material analysis of select 
components reveals the presence of unusual quantities of organic 
compounds consisting of uniform fragments of DNA. These 
fragments have been matched to genetic markers unique to 
mammals of the superfamily Muroidea. 


SCP-2286-1 can be activated by providing it with a standard North 
American 120V AC power supply and flipping the toggle switch to 
“ON”. When active, anomalous effects can be observed in any 
viable genetic material belonging to mammals of the superfamily 
Muroidea that are within range of the object. At close range, this 
effect consists of a force of indeterminate origin similar to magnetic 
attraction that will pull the material towards the object until it comes 
to rest against the surface or other attracted material. At longer 
range, affected subjects exhibit an attraction to the location of the 
device similar to homing behavior but with aggressive tendencies 


that increase with proximity; see Test Log 2286-1-B for details. The 
“RANGE?” dial can adjust the effective range of homing behavior 
from between 10 to 40 kilometers, while the “SPEED” dial can 
manipulate the force density of the attraction within the proximate 
area of effect to between 2,500Gs and 17,000Gs. Note that for 
nearly all affected subjects, the strength of this force has 
demonstrated to be lethal. At low force density, severe trauma such 
as fractures are common, but death can occur from asphyxiation, 
embolisms, or circulatory collapse. At high force density, 
dismemberment and pulverization of the skeleton has been 
observed. 


SCP-2286-2: A variety of objects displaying similar anomalous 
properties to SCP-2286-1. Analysis is ongoing. Examples include a 
smaller version of SCP-2286-1 containing complete DNA from a 
single Rattus norvegicus and a variety of loose components 
containing embedded DNA fragments from multiple species. 


SCP-2286-3: A smaller version of SCP-2286-1 designed to run ona 
single AAA battery. The toggle switch is replaced by a wired remote 
with a 20 meter long cord. Analysis of embedded organic material 
shows complete strands of DNA from a single human donor, 
designated as SCP-2286-3-prime. The donor has been identified as 
homeowner Mark P __. Hair samples were used to verify the device 
is functional, although notably weaker. 


SCP-2286-4 and -5: The remains of two devices of similar design to 
SCP-2286-1. Both were non-functional at the time of recovery, and 
displayed evidence of assaults from numerous tools and implements 
as well as having been partially incinerated using gasoline as an 
accelerant. Embedded organic material shows complete DNA from 
two different human donors, designated SCP-2286-4-prime and 
SCP-2286-5-prime. See Addenda 1 and 2 below for more 
information. 


Recovery: SCP-2286 was recovered in and around the home of 
Mark P  ofH _ , Indiana on 05/17/2001. A postal delivery worker 
reported to local authorities that portions of the exterior of the home 
had collapsed and noted a strong odor of decay, prompting an 
investigation. The cause of the collapse was determined to be 
damage due to a severe rodent infestation. Local authorities 


discovered SCP-2286-1 in the basement of the structure in an active 
state, and alerted Foundation operatives. SCP-2286-1 was covered 
in a mass of dead organic material measuring five meters in 
diameter as well as an estimated 400 affected subjects, mostly 
Rattus norvegicus, Mus musculus, and Microtus ochrogaster. 
SCP-2286-2 components and SCP-2286-3 were found scattered 
around the surrounding basement workshop. SCP-2286-4 and 5 
were discovered in the ashes of a fire pit behind the home. The 
remains of SCP-2286-3-prime were found in the master bedroom. 
Although most of the body had been consumed by local wildlife, 
cause of death was identified as a gunshot wound to the cranium, 
apparently self-inflicted. 


Addendum 1: Following genetic testing of SCP-2286-4 and -5, 
Foundation operatives began obtaining DNA samples from local 
residents in an effort to identify SCP-2286-4-prime and -5-prime. 
SCP-2286-4-prime was identified as Gloria R _, a local librarian and 
member of the town council. The subject was interviewed in an 
attempt to determine what effects, if any, SCP-2286-4 may have 
produced.

Interviewer: Agent Carlson 
Interviewee: SCP-2286-4-prime, Gloria R 


Agent Carlson: I'd like you to elaborate on 
your relationship with Mark P 


SCP-2286-4-prime: We were friends in middle 
school, but we moved in different circles in 
high school, and we lost touch when | went to 
college. | returned to town about nine years 
ago to work for the library, and his father was a 
regular at that time. Mr.P —_was retired, and 
he would spend hours at the library reading 
anything he could find, especially the daily 
papers and any new magazines we subscribed 
to, and often when it was slow we would talk. 
When Mr. P__ took ill, Mark began dropping 
him off and picking him up, and when things

Item description: A small orange box with a radioactive sign on the 
side, and a small red button on top. Item moved to a heavy-duty 
blast chamber and analyzed extensively. Thorough examination 
revealed it to not emit any more radiation than standard background 
levels. The decision was made to test the object, with all observers 
other than the subject observing via closed-circuit camera. When 
subject pressed the button, a bright flash was recorded, and then a 
small orange mushroom cloud. Subject was unharmed; after the 
experiment, anyone entering the blast chamber immediately sensed 
a tangy, heavily orange flavor. Subject had to wash continuously for 
five hours to rid his body of the scent.

Item description: A styrofoam bowl with a paper lid, labelled 
"Instant Morioka-Style Reimen: just add hot water.” Instructions, 
written in Japanese, indicate to add hot water and let stand for three 
minutes, then stir well. Contents of bowl appear to be instant 
noodles as well as several small capsules of unknown make and a 
dusting of white sugar-like crystals. Upon adding hot water, item 
grew warm for approximately three minutes, then immediately 
chilled to approximately 5°C. Upon peeling back the cover, noodles 
were found to be cooked and floating in a cold beef broth. Capsules 
were missing, and replaced with a slice of fresh watermelon, six 
slices thinly sliced roast beef, six pieces of kkakdugi (ponytail radish 
kimchi), and half a hard-boiled egg. Contents were edible. 
Advertisements on packaging encouraged users to "try our other 
flavors," including "traditional Korean" and "kimchi mixed." 


got worse towards the end, Mark would bring 
him in in a wheelchair and fetch books for him, 
and read to him. After Mr.P passed away, | 
rarely saw Mark. Sometimes | saw him around 
town, and when the storms knocked out the 
phone lines up his way he would come down 
to the library to use the internet. 


Agent Carlson: So there was nothing more? 
Ms. R__ , to be frank, we are asking if you 
were ever... involved with Mark. 


SCP-2286-4-prime: ...| need your absolute 
assurance that this will not be made public. | 
am an elected official, and this is a small town. 


Agent Carlson: | can guarantee you that 
nothing you say will be made public. 


SCP-2286-4-prime: ...Mark and I... dated 
briefly last year. It didn't go on for very long, 
just a few weeks. 


Agent Carlson: | need to get a an 
approximate date. This was in 2000? 


SCP-2286-4-prime: Yes. It was April, | think 
the second and third week in April. 


Agent Carlson: Did Mark initiate the 
relationship, or did you? 


SCP-2286-4-prime: | did. Mark was always 
shy. He didn't really do that sort of thing. 


Agent Carlson: Can you describe how the 
relationship began? 


SCP-2286-4-prime: | hadn't really thought of 
Mark much at all since Mr.P —_ passed, then 
suddenly | found myself thinking of him, alone 
in his parents' farm house, and | just felt like | 


had to see him. | think | just needed to settle 
some unfinished business. | made a lunch for 
the two of us and drove out to the house, and 
asked him out for a picnic. We talked, mostly 
about Mr. P __ at first. The two of us never 
had very much in common. 


Agent Carlson: You say the relationship 
continued for two weeks? 


SCP-2286-4-prime: Yes. A few days later | 
went up to his house again. He was surprised 
to see me, and suggested we go and see a 
movie in town. I'm not much for them, | let one 
of the assistants order tapes for the library, but 
Mark loved them. He always came to life when 
he was talking about the movies. We saw 

, and afterwards | suggested that he 
come to a book club meeting the library was 
hosting the next week, since a film version of 
the book had been released, and he agreed. 
We had dinner a few times in between that, 
and | loaned him my copy of the book, since 
I'd read it before. 


Agent Carlson: Sorry to interrupt. Did you 
also suggest the dinners? 


SCP-2286-4-prime: No, Mark suggested it. 
The first time we ate at his place, Mark cooked 
and | brought the wine. The second time we 
ate at in town. Mark's house had rats, 
and I'm afraid | got a bit startled when | saw 
one, so he suggested going out. 


Agent Carlson: And after that it was the book 
club meeting? 


SCP-2286-4-prime: The book club meeting... 
| don't think Mark read the book. He tried to 
participate, but... well, later | checked out the 


film, and it was a terrible interpretation. Mark 
got embarrassed and angry, and decided to 
leave early, but the library was hosting the 
event so | had to stay. | called him afterwards, 
but he was still upset, and we argued. | kind of 
thought that would be the end of it. 


Agent Carlson: And was it? (silence for 5 
seconds) Ms.R ? 


SCP-2286-4-prime: This is all very 
embarrassing. I... | don't do things like this. 


Agent Carlson: | promise you, nothing you 
say here will be made public. 


SCP-2286-4-prime: After a few days | 
suddenly felt like | needed to see him, so l... 
went over, and Mark was waiting for me on the 
porch. We started talking... well, we tried, but | 
was very upset. | didn't even realize how upset 
I'd been, | mean, | don't ever remember feeling 
like that in my life. Mark didn't invite me in, and 
| just started screaming at him... (silence for 9 
seconds) 


Agent Carlson: It's all right. Take your time. 


SCP-2286-4-prime: Mark suddenly got this 
look on his face, he went white as a sheet, and 
in the middle of our fight he turned and went 
back into his house and locked the door in my 
face and yelled at me to stay out, andl... 
started pounding on the door, and then | 
picked up an old rocking chair off the porch, 
and I-I threw it through his front window. 
(silence for 5 seconds) | can't believe | did 
that. | just stood there staring at the frame, and 
it was like all that adrenaline just... drained out 
of me. Then Mark came running out of the 
house and grabbed me in a big bear hug and 


started saying how sorry he was. 


Addendum 2: During experiments involving SCP-2286-4, 
researchers noted that applying a weak electric current to small 
samples taken from the device would produce a torque effect that 
would cause the samples to align in a common direction, similar to 
the behavior of a compass needle in a magnetic field. Testing 
demonstrated that the fragments aligned to indicate the direction of 
nearby genetic samples taken from SCP-2286-4-prime and 
functioned out to a distance of 3 km. An instrument using this 
principle was constructed using fragments of SCP-2286-5 for the 
purpose of locating SCP-2286-5-prime. Field agents used the 
instrument to conduct a grid search of the county and located the 
subject's remains in an unmarked grave on the edge of town. Dental 
records were used to identify her as Trudy D __, a local real estate 
agent who had been reported missing on 07/22/2000. An autopsy 
determined that she had been dead for a period of months, 
consistent with the time of her reported disappearance. Numerous 
fractures were identified throughout the skeletal structure which 
appear to have occurred simultaneously and immediately prior to 
death. Although many of these fractures were similar to those that 
might occur during a serious fall, several were inconsistent with that 
diagnosis and cannot be explained. Cause of death remains 
unknown.

SCP-2287: Mr. Headless 


Item #: SCP-2287 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2287 is to be contained in 
Hall of Site . Except for during authorized testing, SCP-2287's 
mask is not to be removed. SCP-2287 does not require food, but 
can be provided with incense on its request, contingent on good 
behavior. Literature provided to SCP-2287 is to be converted into 
Braille. 


Description: SCP-2287 is a headless humanoid white male who 
manifests multiple anomalous properties; primary among these is 
that it is able to function as a living being despite lacking a head. 
The words "Mr. Headless, from Little Misters ® by Dr. 
Wondertainment" are tattooed on the lower side of SCP-2287’s 
back. Its exposed neck stump is covered with live skin; radiographic 
examination has shown that the neck stump has only the bottom 
four cervical vertebrae, but there are no signs of spinal damage. 


The head-based functions which SCP-2287 is able to emulate 
include thought, hearing, and smell. It is able to speak, but has not 
demonstrated the ability to replicate the normal tonalities of a human 
voice; as well, it claims to be blind. It does not eat or breathe, and 
has claimed that its energy source may be "some kind of amplified 
photosynthesis or something" (see interview log 2287-41-B). 


Direct visual observation of SCP-2287's headlessness is not 
possible; individuals who attempt to observe this will instead 
perceive headless versions of themselves, as seen from 
SCP-2287's perspective. Such individuals describe feeling 
"disconnected" from themselves, but are still able to control the 
movement of their own bodies, albeit with difficulty. This effect does 
not occur when SCP-2287 is viewed through any means other than 
the unaided human eye: SCP-2287's headlessness can be 


observed via live video transmission, in photographic prints, in 
mirrors, and through windows or lenses. Individuals who have 
undergone radial keratotomy have been unable to observe 
headlessness; no individuals who have undergone cataract surgery 
have as yet been available for testing. 


Motion detectors and similar monitoring equipment similarly show 
SCP-2287 to be headless; despite this, SCP-2287 is capable of 
performing tasks which would require a head, such as wearing items 
of headgear, including masks, hats, scarves, headphones, 
noseplugs, earplugs, earrings, eyeglasses, lipstick, and barrettes. 
(For a full list of items, see document 2287-N12) 


SCP-2287 was discovered in , Wisconsin, on November 24th, 
20 , after a significant number of reports from citizens appeared 
describing the anomalous effects of SCP-2287. Witnesses were 
given amnestic treatment, and SCP-2287 was contained without 
issue. 


+ Interview 2287-5 
[BEGIN LOG] 
Dr. Howard: Good evening, SCP-2287. 


SCP-2287: Hey, Dr. Howard. What's up — 
more hearing experiments? 


Dr. Howard: No, actually, tonight this is more 
of an interview. For instance, we were 
wondering what you could tell us about Doctor 
Wondertainment. 


SCP-2287: Oh. Uh, okay, I'll tell you what | 
can, but | never actually saw her, you know. 
What with the whole blind thing. 


Dr. Howard: But you did interact with her? 


SCP-2287: ... with who? Oh, Doctor 
Wondertainment? Yeah, heck of a nice guy, 
most of the time, | think. He had some really 


crazy ideas. Like, what he had in mind for me, 
see — 


Dr. Howard: Wait, wait. First you said ‘her’, 
then you said 'he'? 


SCP-2287: ... what? 


Dr. Howard: First you referred to Doctor 
Wondertainment as a woman, then as a man. 


SCP-2287: |... | don't understand what you 
mean? Like... Doctor Wondertainment as an 
actual person? What are you talking about? 
You're confusing me. 


Dr. Howard: But you just said — no, I'm sorry, 
| must have misheard. My bad. 


SCP-2287: Well, okay. For a minute there, you 
were making zero sense at all. And they call 
me headless, ha! 


Dr. Howard: <clears throat> Well, uh, when 
you work for the Foundation for long enough, 
you discover many situations that don't entirely 
make sense. You did say, though, that 
Wondertainment had intended something 
specific for you? 


SCP-2287: Oh, yes. Right. Well, basically, you 
know how during the holidays, there's special 
holiday-themed products? 


Dr. Howard: Yes... 


SCP-2287: So basically, I'm a Halloween 
special. You follow? 


Dr. Howard: That's it? 


SCP-2287: Yep. The way | heard it, they were 


originally gonna do Sweetie for Halloween, 
but... | dunno, some corporate garbage, 
executives sabotaging each other... you know 
how it goes. So I'm the backup plan: sit me out 
on the porch, | play dead and then when the 
kids come by, WOOO, and | sit up and wave 
my arms at them, show them my stump, look 
look, EVERYONE's a headless monster, lurch 
around RARGH RARGH... the whole deal. 
Doctor Wondertainment's Mister Headless, 
spooky Halloween fun for the whole family! 


Dr. Howard: | see. And are you? "Fun for the 
whole family", | mean? 


SCP-2287: Well... | guess so. For the most 
part. | mean, yeah, people enjoyed me. Which 
is great, don't get me wrong! But | never really 
got it myself, you know? | sit there, | get up, | 
stand around, | wave my arms, and that's 
pretty much it. But... people would be scared, 
and they'd have fun, and... that's enough for 
me. Or it was, anyway, until you people got 
hold of me. Could be worse, | guess. 


Dr. Howard: Did you enjoy entertaining? Do 
you miss it? 


SCP-2287: Yeah, for sure. | mean, yeah, it 
could get a bit boring when I'd have to stand 
around, sit around, waiting for people to show 
up, but it was really great hearing everyone's 
reaction, on Halloween no less. It's funny how 
people only find scary stuff funny one night a 
year, you know? No matter how many times 
you live through a year, they only change their 
minds on Halloween. 


Dr. Howard: Are you the only... well, the only 
holiday-themed, ah... 


SCP-2287: Hey, you can say "Little Mister", | 
don't mind. It's what | am. 


Dr. Howard: | suppose. It just... well, it sounds 
vaguely infantilizing to me. 


SCP-2287: It's what Doctor Wondertainment 
said we were called, so it's what we're called. 
But yeah, I'm the only holiday-themed Little 
Mister. At first, Doctor Wondertainment was 
planning on having more of us — | remember 
she had all these ideas for Mister Ramadan, 
and Miss Maslenitsa, and Mister Diwali, and 
Miss Yom Kippur, and Mister Hogmanay — 
but she never did anything with any of them. 
Just me. 


Dr. Howard: How do you feel about that? 


SCP-2287: ...Never really thought about it, to 
be honest. | guess maybe he decided I'd be 
more interesting if | was the only one? Or 
maybe he just changed his mind about doing 
holiday stuff. He changes his mind a /ot, you 
know. What you get when there's a whole 
bunch of corporate jerks all making decisions 
against each other. That's why I'm Mister 
Headless, spooky Halloween fun for the whole 
family!, instead of Mister Halloween. 


Dr. Howard: Do you see yourself as scary? 


SCP-2287: | see myself as someone who 
brings surprise and excitement. When they get 
scared, that means I'm doing a good job. 
Although, well, it's been getting harder lately: 
the Doctor's a one-man operation, and she 
doesn't realize — or didn't realize? — how 
many kids wear glasses these days, and 
whenever | live through a year like this, with 
cameras and stuff like that, the effect is pretty 


much ruined. | mean, yes, I'm still scary Mister 
Headless, spooky Halloween fun for the whole 
family!, but it doesn't seem to be as much fun 
for the people when they don't get to be 
headless with me. 


Dr. Howard: Where we found you, back in 
Wisconsin, could you tell us what you were 
doing there? 


SCP-2287: Where you found me? Well, | 
spent a few years there with this family — | 
think by that point they were consecutive 
years, but | couldn't swear to that... | do know 
that some of them were for sure years | hadn't 
lived in before — you know how a year always 
feels weird the first time around, right? They 
mostly felt like that. Anyway, so the family | 
was with, they mostly kept me in the attic, 
which was... well, it was quiet. | remember 
sometimes | could hear noises from 
downstairs if they were being loud enough, but 
usually it was quiet. | was pretty used to the 
smell — there was mildew, and dust, and old 
paper, and you know the way metal pipes 
smell, when they get hot? It was like that. 
They'd bring me down for Halloween, and then 
put me back up afterward. And then one 
Halloween, they didn't come get me, so | didn't 
come down that year. | know that year was 
definitely a new year. They didn't come get me 
the year after, either. Or the year after that, 
and that's when | started to get worried about 
them, so | went downstairs and | couldn't find 
anybody — | felt around everywhere, but all 
the furniture and stuff was all gone, too. Maybe 
they moved and forgot me? 


Dr. Howard: And that's what led to you 
wandering the city streets?

Item description: Unknown - A sealed paper sleeve of 
indeterminate chemical makeup and unknown language. Stylized 
image of what appears to be a 6-legged blue tortoise. Packaging 
opened to reveal a single large piece of dark dried meat. Taste 
noted as sweet and spicy, with an unusual texture. Approximately 6 
hours after consumption, subject reported itching in internal organs 
and heavy flatulence. Isolated to quarantine where what appeared to 
be a violent allergic reaction caused the prolapse of two-thirds of his 
digestive tract from either end of his body. Subject died after 5 
hours.

sting him on his arms and torso. Flavors primarily sour and bitter 
fruits of uncertain identity. Described as "Similar to PEZ, but not as 
sweet." 


Insects died approximately 9 minutes later and were collected. 
Agreement in flavor noted throughout all test participants willing to 
consume insects. Initial subject indicates lesions covering exposed 
skin, oozing brightly colored fluid with similar flavor. No further side- 
effects noted. Lesions appeared to heal normally.

release valve. Label shows brightly colored trisymmetrical lifeforms 
inhaling psychedelically-patterned fumes. Subject unscrews release 
valve, noting strong smell of bitter almonds before asphyxiating. 
Contents revealed to be pressurized hydrogen cyanide gas. Testing 
halted. 


SCP-2287: Yeah. | waited around for a few 
weeks, and then some people opened the 
door to the front porch, where the candy bowl 
usually is? And they came in — | didn't 
recognize their voices, but an audience is an 
audience, right? So | went back downstairs 
from the attic, and they, well, they kind of 
freaked out, | guess? | mean, I'm used to 
hearing people scream, but not like that. One 
of them had a... what's it called, metal thing, 
you hold it in your hand and it makes a sort of 
pop noise and it smells all chemical, and then 
people get hurt? 


Dr. Howard: ... a gun? 


SCP-2287: Okay. One of them had a gun, 
which | only found out when | walked up to her 
and tried to feel her face — which | admit 
wasn't the best idea, but, well, | was kind of 
lonely, to be honest, and | thought maybe she 
might be one of the people from the family, 
you know? | mean, yeah, | should've asked 
first, but | was lonely, and | was excited that 
there was someone there, and | thought it was 
maybe somebody | knew. But it wasn't, and 
then there was all the screaming and the gun 
noises — and this was bad screaming. Not the 
fun kind at all, let me tell you. And then one of 
them was lying on the floor and smelling weird 
— that means he was dead, right? One of 
them was dead, and the others ran away. But 
they left the front door open, so | decided that 
was as good a time as any to go outside. So 
then I'm walking in the streets, and there's cars 
all around me and they're honking at each 
other and making all these crashing noises 
with glass breaking, and there were a Jot of 
people screaming — and again, this is the bad 
screaming. But then | remembered there's 


usually a park close to the house, and | hoped 
that if | went there, with bushes and stuff that | 
could hide in, | could at least stay out of 
trouble. So | made it there, and | remember 
thinking maybe if | could get back to Doctor 
Wondertainment, she could fix things, help that 
guy from the house not be dead, figure out 
what went wrong, where the family went, or 
get somebody new to take me? And, uh, that's 
pretty much where you guys found me. She 
didn't send you, did she? 


Dr. Howard: Ah, no, we intercepted some 
police reports. 


SCP-2287: Oh. 


Dr. Howard: Tell me, why didn't you go back 
into the house? Into the attic? 


SCP-2287: Um. This is kind of embarrassing. | 
kind of... when | was out in the street, with all 
the cars? | kind of got turned around a bit. Lost 
my bearings. I'm not used to being out in 
places that are bigger than just a house anda 
yard! | probably could've found the house 
again if there weren't so many screaming 
people and crashing cars, but, well, | was 
starting to panic too, so | just went for the 
place that sounded like there weren't any 
buildings. 


Dr. Howard: Ah, | see. And why didn't you try 
to leave sooner? 


SCP-2287: Well, the front door wasn't open 
before that. 


Dr. Howard: No, | mean, why did you wait so 
long before you even went downstairs? Before 
you decided that maybe something was wrong 


with you having been left alone in the attic for 
so long? 


SCP-2287: Oh. Well, | guess | didn't really 
care. | was just... thinking. The attic was really 
quiet, and the smell wasn't too bad. Made it 
easy to think. That's something | do a lot, you 
know? While I'm waiting. Not much else to do. 


Dr. Howard: What do you think about? 


SCP-2287: Just... things, you know. Things in 
general. The world, what it might be like, what 
it's like being me. Nothing specific, | guess. 


Dr. Howard: But... for three years? 
SCP-2287: Yeah? Why?

SCP-2288: Copy of A 


Item #: SCP-2288 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2288 is contained in 
special quarters in Site- ((Note: See added containment 
procedures)), with padded walls and a ceiling containing two 
separate vents to allow for the introduction of an inhalational 
anesthetic. Subject is provided with bedding and reading material in 
the form of softcover books and a television bolted to the wall behind 
secure cover. Specialty remote control is to be provided, made of 
softened materials incapable of being utilized as a deadly weapon. 


Subject is to be monitored at all times. In the event instances of 
SCP-2288-A begin to manifest, sevoflurane and desflurane 
anesthetics are to be vented into containment chamber until 
SCP-2288 and/or living instances of SCP-2288-A are incapacitated. 
At such time, living instances of SCP-2288-A are to be terminated, 
while SCP-2288 is to be kept anesthetized until containment 
chamber is repaired. SCP-2288 is not to be kept anesthetized longer 
than necessary due to risk of containment breach. 


SCP-2288 is to be fed three times a day in the form of easily 
portable meals not requiring the use of utensils. Amount of food and 
drink provided is to be sustained at appropriate levels for one. 
SCP-2288 is to be observed finishing its meals and is not allowed to 
hoard food or drink apart from a single 500mL container of water per 
day. 


Terminated instances of SCP-2288-A are to be scanned for 
contraband and placed in mortuary storage on-site. If an instance of 
SCP-2288-A poses a biological, radiological, or anomalous threat to 
SCP-2288 or any other individuals, it is to be incinerated following a 
standard autopsy and/or toxicology report. 


Addendum: As of 08/21/2014, SCP-2288 has been relocated to 
Site-299. Site- is subject to an ongoing process of mass body 
disposal to prevent an NK-Class scenario. Relevant details are 
restricted to personnel assigned on-site. 


Description: SCP-2288 is a 19 year old Caucasian female, formerly 
a student at the University of , who under certain life- 
threatening conditions produces deceased duplicates of itself. 
Copies of SCP-2288 (labeled SCP-2288-A) appear to initially 
occupy the same time and space as the subject, coming away when 
the subject is moved. Additionally, instances of SCP-2288-A have 
contained copies of inanimate objects on their persons which the 
subject SCP-2288 may have come into contact with, with a 
presumed time of between 12 and 18 minutes after last touching the 
object. Duplicated objects have not been found to be anomalous 
and are identical to their "original" counterparts in every way. 


Subject has displayed no voluntary control over the apparition of 
these duplicates, which appear to be related to physical altercations 
in which the subject's life is in peril. Despite full cooperation and 
compliance from the subject, no method currently exists to ensure 
complete cessation of its anomalous effect. 


This anomaly was first discovered when SCP-2288 suffered a 
serious injury on-campus, when an instance of SCP-2288-A 
emerged as students moved in to aid and re-orient the subject. 
Local authorities were called, and the incident drew the attention of 
Foundation agents in the police force. After receiving medical 
treatment, the subject was taken into Foundation custody, and 
amnestics were administered to students and faculty. Subject was in 
a highly agitated state, claiming no knowledge of its anomalous 
behavior. 


While in containment SCP-2288 began to resist Foundation 
personnel, necessitating use of force in restraining the subject. 
Subject sustained serious injury in the scuffle, necessitating medical 
attention. While receiving treatment, an instance of SCP-2288-A 
emerged from the subject. An autopsy determined SCP-2288-A 
sustained an identical wound to that received by the subject, which 
proved fatal in SCP-2288-A's case. Further instances of SCP-2288- 
A continue to bear signs of injury consistent with trauma SCP-2288 


has experienced which have proven fatal for the duplicates. 


Autopsies performed upon deceased instances of SCP-2288-A have 
failed to determine a likely source for the instances, or any 
anomalous features inconsistent with SCP-2288 itself. Instances of 
SCP-2288-A have been found to be genetically and physically 
identical to SCP-2288. Scars and lingering injuries have 
accumulated on instances of SCP-2288-A consistent with the 
original subject at the time of duplication. 


Experiment Logs: Despite the misgivings of several researchers 
(names will not be included in official report), authorization was 
given to conduct a series of experiments upon SCP-2288 to 
determine the following: 


¢ Whether the subject has direct control over its anomalous 
effect. 

Whether subject has indirect control over its anomalous effect 
(such as self-harm for the purpose of manifesting instances of 
SCP-2288-A). 

Whether subject is capable of manifesting individual objects 
alone. 

The circumstances under which living instances of SCP-2288- 
A manifest. Inconclusive 


Experiment-01: SCP-2288 is physically restrained within 
its chambers, and left for alternating periods of 6 hours. 
Subject is fed and allowed to watch television. Schedule 
continues for 4 days before subject becomes 
uncooperative. Subject forcibly sedated, and experiment 
continues another 9 days without major incident. Subject 
then released and treated. 

Prognosis: Instance of SCP-2288-A manifested after 
end of experiment. Rigor and discoloration placed time of 
death between 6-18 hours prior to experiment's end. 
Subject complains of pain and numbness, but was at no 
point during the experiment near death. 


Experiment-02: SCP-2288 equipped with a brand 
ballistic vest and fired upon with a 9mm pistol. 
Subject falls to the ground, shouting in pain. No instance 


of SCP-2288-A manifests. Blood determined to be from 
the subject appears at site of impact, but no perforation 
of subject's skin is found. 

Prognosis: Subject suffers bruising of the chest and 
coccyx. An additional instance manifests during medical 
treatment. Subject expected to fully recover. 


Experiment-03: SCP-2288 placed in medically induced 
coma and monitored carefully. [DATA EXPUNGED]. 
Clean-up efforts take several weeks. Damage to medical 
bay estimated at , 

Prognosis: Subject recovered from the mass without 
further loss of personnel. 


Experiment-04: SCP-2288 given steady doses of 
arsenic and monitored. Subject displayed signs of acute 
arsenic poisoning and is quickly given treatment. While 
subject turns aside to vomit into a container an instance 
of SCP-2288-A manifests, apparently asphyxiated. 
more instances manifest before subject is stabilized via 
chelation therapy. 

Prognosis: Subject stabilized with some difficulty, as 
instances of SCP-2288-A began exerting pressure on 
the subject while restrained, threatening to violently 
overturn the operating table. Subject held upright by 
personnel, allowing instances to fall away without 
disturbing the subject. 


Experiments end after this point 


Addendum-1: On / /2014, a living instance of SCP-2288-A 
manifested, unlike prior incidents, dressed in civilian clothing and 
carrying a backpack. The living instance was unaware of its 
surroundings and became belligerent, necessitating physical 
restraint. 


Medical examination of the living instance (reclassified SCP-2288-B) 


shows no past signs of physical trauma consistent with all prior 


instances recovered thus far. Found in the subject's backpack were 


textbooks and writing instruments, along with a personal 
[REDACTED], and a student identification from the University of 


, listing the subject's name and the current year. 


As SCP-2288-B displays the same abilities as the original subject, 
SCP-2288-B is to be retained and housed with SCP-2288 to ensure 
psychological health. All conversations between the subjects are to 
be monitored, and future requests for entertainment devices are to 
be considered more favorably, pending further compliance and good 
behavior. 


A list of items recovered from SCP-2288-B's backpack include: 


* Two history textbooks, published by [REDACTED], sixth 
edition. 

¢ A five-subject notebook. Each divider contains a syllabus for a 
different class. Classes include: "History of the World up to 
1650", "Introduction to Thermodynamics", "Reinventing the 
Wheel" (out of print), "The Red Dragon: The Qing Empire from 
1644 to Today", "Blood, Broads, and Bastards: Medieval Lives 
in West Europe" 

¢ A handwritten letter, presumably written by SCP-2288-B, 
addressed to an "Ana" 


Addendum-2: On 08/21/2014, SCP-2288-B requested and was 
granted a meeting with SCP-2288. During the meet, SCP-2288-B 
began to manifest deceased copies of itself. SCP-2288 took 
advantage of the situation and assaulted and killed SCP-2288-B. 
Despite its death, instances of SCP-2288-B continued to manifest 
from its body. The floor was temporarily evacuated as bodies 
continued to mount. As of / /2014, SCP-2288-B has not been 
recovered, and all personnel and SCP-2288 have been relocated to 
nearby Site-299. Recovery teams continue to actively search Site- 
for SCP-2288-B's corpse. A portion of SCP-2288's interrogation has 
been attached.

brevity. 
(Begin log) 


Dr. Esterhazy: | don't have to explain to you 
why you're here. 


SCP-2288: | broke your prison building. Sorry. 
At least now you know it doesn't stop if | die. 


Dr. Esterhazy: What prompted it? What were 
you thinking? 


SCP-2288: Isn't it obvious? 


Dr. Esterhazy: Killing is killing, no matter if 
you're killing someone who looks like you. 


SCP-2288: I've seen myself dead more than 
enough times. You think | gave a shit about 
another one? 


Dr. Esterhazy: You didn't kill all the others. 


SCP-2288: Yeah | did. They're dead and I'm 
not, and they die when you try to kill me. 


Dr. Esterhazy: We aren't trying to kill you — 


SCP-2288: | killed her because I'm smart. I've 
come to see your way of viewing the world. 


Dr. Esterhazy: What's that? 


SCP-2288: You 'contain' me because I'm an 
abomination. A freak of nature. You've also 
had a rough time handling me. You've tortured 
me, subjected me to ‘experiments’, and have 
me imprisoned with no sign of my ever going 
home. You expect me to play along with you 
forever? Her, meanwhile... she was new. 
Never been subjected to what I've been

partially transparent package. Package was stylised with several 
graphics depicting smiling persons being shot, labelled in English in 
stereotypical "New Yorker" slang. The rounds in the magazine were 
found to be made of a substance similar to rock candy, though 
completely functional as normal ammunition. Item was fired at the 
research subject's foot. Besides the pain and trauma normally 
included in bullet wounds, subject also noted a heavy taste and 
scent of peppermint, which persisted for several hours. The munition 
dissolved in the subject's bloodstream, negating the need to remove 
it surgically. The pistol itself was found to also be completely edible,

different world. She'd prosper here, safely 
contained and cared for. 


Dr. Esterhazy: You think then that we would 
kill you and replace you with her? 


SCP-2288: Who the fuck am I? An anomaly. If 
there were two of me, you wouldn't have to 
deal with me. But now you do. Forever. And if 
another living one comes through, I'm going to 
break her neck as soon as she pops out. 


Dr. Esterhazy: We don't kill people — 


SCP-2288: What do you do with all those 
people? Those prisoner people you have 
working and ‘helping’ with tests? Your peons 
for your world-wide secret gulag? Why do | 
never see the same people every month? 


Dr. Esterhazy: They're transferred to different 
facilities on a monthly basis, depending on 
their tasks and importance to certain projects. 
You think we kill them, too? 


SCP-2288: You call me ‘subject’, ‘it’, ‘they’, 
'SCP-2288', never . | think the moment a 
fresh-faced new 2288 drops from my quantum- 
ass-hole, you're going to bury me in a box and 
leave me and myselves to feed the worms.

SCP-2289: The Devils’ Eyes 


Item #: SCP-2289 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2289-1 through 7 are to 
be kept under full bio-containment protocol at Site-66. The facilities 
must include a litterbox and a minimum of ten sheltered bedding 
locations, each 1 mx 1 mx 50cm, for SCP-2289-1 through 5; a 
perch, cuttlebone, and nesting location in the upper half of the 
containment structure for SCP-2289-6; and a separate room within 
bio-containment with a closing door, bed, desk, lamp, toilet, and 
change of clothes for SCP-2289-7. 


The following food will be made available daily: a carcass of not less 
than 5 kg lean mass, 500 g of a mix of small fruit, nuts, and seeds, 
and a standard daily meal portion, which may be flavored as per 
SCP-2289-7's wishes from a list of pre-selected choices. Any lack of 
appetite or difficulty swallowing observed in any organisms within 
containment must be immediately brought to the attention of 
Site-66's veterinarian surgeon, who will assess whether emergency 
ocular removal is necessary. 


Cleaning of the litterbox, carcass bone removal, and general 
chamber maintenance will be carried out under camera supervision 
by SCP-2289-7. All waste materials, including sewage, from the bio- 
containment structure must be incinerated. Any materials removed 
from the bio-containment chamber not kept in fully sealed transport 
containers for incineration or testing will constitute a containment 
breach. 


The bio-containment chamber will be monitored by no less than four 
cameras at all times, in order to maintain full containment of all 
organisms within the chamber. SCP subjects may be removed from 
the chamber for testing only under sedation in fully sealed transport 
containers by researchers equipped with Level 4 bio-containment 


suits and trained in hostile carnivore capture. Any wounds suffered 
while handling SCP-2289-1 through 7 will be brought to the attention 
of Site-66 officers for medical evaluation. 


Description: SCP-2289 is a novel strain of Devil Facial Tumor 
Disease, a transmissible cancer endemic in the Tasmanian devil 
(Sarcophilus harrisii), and spread by introduction of infected tissue to 
skin lesions. SCP-2289's progression is such that multiple 
metastasizing tumors grow over the infected vertebrate. 85% of the 
tumors are concentrated on the craniofacial region and the throat, 
with the remainder dispersed on the skin in other locations. 
Approximately 2.5% of tumors are expressed on internal organs. 
Death in the original disease usually occurs due to starvation, as the 
growing tumors prevent proper feeding over time. 


SCP-2289 has three additional characteristics that has caused it to 
come to the attention of the Foundation. First, the tumors generate 
their own fully functional eyes, with ocular eruption occurring 
between 5-7 days after first appearance of the tumor. This can help 
to compensate for the fact that the tumors themselves may occlude 
the natural eyes. Second, SCP-2289 has proven capable of crossing 
the species barrier, resulting in potential infection of all vertebrates 
tested to date. Third, all living infected vertebrates are not only 
capable of seeing through the eyes generated by the tumors, but the 
eyes on all other infected vertebrates’ tumors. The method of the 
transmission of visual information between infected vertebrates and 
the range of communication between infected vertebrates has not 
yet been determined. 


SCP-2289-1 through 7 are the present known individuals infected 
with SCP-2289. SCP-2289-1 through 5 are Tasmanian devils, three 
female and two male. SCP-2289-6 is a scarlet macaw (Ara macao), 
infected as part of Experiment 2289-D, and held for continued 
observation. SCP-2289-7 is formerly D-435966, infected during a 
containment breach when it was cleaning the SCP-2289 enclosure. 
All seven subjects express multiple craniofacial tumors, with ocular 
eruptions on each tumor. SCP-2289-3 has expressed a tumor and 
eye on its tail. SCP-2289-7 has a tumor with ocular eruption on its 
left hand. All neoplastic eyes are of the devil type, even on non-devil 
species. 


Addendum: Interview 2289-12 
Interviewed: SCP-2289-7 
Interviewer: Dr. Roderick Argent 


Foreword: Routine interview between Dr. R. Argent and 
SCP-2289-7. Purpose of routine interviews is to check 
self-reported health issues in SCP-2289-1 through 7 
between veterinary examinations. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. R. Argent: Good morning, SCP-2289-7. How are 
you feeling today? 


SCP-2289-7: Pretty good, | suppose, for having a 
terminal cancer that turns you into a deformed freak. 


Dr. R. Argent: The tumor on your mandibular alveolar 
process is not interfering with your feeding habits? 


SCP-2289-7: Eh? Could you repeat that? I'm seeing 
better than | hear out of my left ear these days. 


Dr. R. Argent: The tumor on your chin. Is it interfering 
with your eating? 


SCP-2289-7: Nah, | can eat just fine. Check on Cinco, 
though. An eye just formed on the back of his throat 
yesterday. | realized it when he hissed at Uno. Also, 
another new eye is dark, mostly. | think it's on Dos's liver. 
Not sure. 


Dr. R. Argent: Thank you, I'll inform the veterinarian and 
have those looked at right away. | just want you to know 
that we at the Foundation truly appreciate your 
cooperation with personnel regarding SCP-2289. 


SCP-2289-7: Hey, it's no biggie. You guys have treated 
me better than anyone in years, since | got infected. 
Yeah, I'm still a prisoner and | share my cell with a bunch 


of devils and a red bird, but mama always told me I'd end 
up living with devils, anyway. | mean, yeah, now | gotta 
stare at Tres's ass all the time, but you guys are doing 
what you can to keep us alive and comfortable, for the 
most part. 


Dr. R. Argent: Have you noticed any other senses 
forming since your infection? More than extra visual 
stimulus? Sounds? Smells? Taste? Tactile stimuli? 


SCP-2289-7: What? Oh, this is going back to the hive 
mind theory, or like sentient cancer or something. No, | 
haven't. But like, we are talking about some marsupial 
wolverines and a bird. | don't think I'd be thinking much 
more from them but eat, sleep, fuck. | do that, already. 


Dr. R. Argent: How about thoughts the other way? Can 
you direct SCP-2289-1 through 6? 


SCP-2289-7: Hah! You're talking about me getting /os 
diablos to do as | say? The hell | can! It's more like we're 
family, now. All we got is perspective. We know what 
each other sees. Keeps the aggression down when you 
gotta watch you hissing at yourself. We all know we're 
dying. You keep talking about who gets to control who, 
when all you need is a little compassion, you know? You 
keep looking for power? Well, this cancer ain't it. 
Except... 


Dr. R. Argent: Except? 


SCP-2289-7: ...Except I'm probably really good at 173 
duty now. 


Dr. R. Argent: ...Would you— 
SCP-2289-7: NO.

« SCP-2288 | SCP-2289 | SCP-2290 » 


SCP-2290: It's fine. 


Item #: SCP-2290 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: An area covering approximately 
1 km? around SCP-2290's primary area of effect is to be isolated 
from unnecessary traffic. If an individual witnesses any anomalous 
behavior or physical conflicts between SCP-2290-1 instances, they 
are to be restricted from exiting SCP-2290's area of effect until the 
0500 reset event. 


Individuals who enter SCP-2290's area of effect on a regular basis 
and leave before the 0500 reset are not to accumulate knowledge of 
SCP-2290's existence. Class B amnestics are approved for use in 
eliminating such knowledge. 


Phone calls originating from SCP-2290's residence to emergency 
services are to be redirected to secure Foundation phone lines. 
Under no conditions are active Foundation staff to be allowed inside 
SCP-2290's area of effect between 0300 and 0500 local time. All 
surveillance of SCP-2290-1 instances during this time period is to be 
accomplished utilizing local individuals or automated drones. 


Description: SCP-2290 is an effect which is centered around a 
home in Stockbridge, Massachusetts that houses a family of three 
(identified as SCP-2290-1 instances). At 0500 local time, the 
SCP-2290-1 instances will be immediately relocated to this home 
regardless of their current location. Additionally, injury to any of the 
instances will be immediately healed (up to and including death). 


Any individual which is inside an area approximately 1 km? around 
the SCP-2290's primary residence will, at 0500, lose any memory of 
the SCP-2290-1 instances beyond baseline knowledge. Baseline 
knowledge of SCP-2290-1 instances include the following 
information: 


It is a family of three living in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. 

* These individuals are Jonathan Jenkins (SCP-2290-1-A), 

Sophie Jenkins (SCP-2290-1-B), and Josie Jenkins 

(SCP-2290-1-C). 

These individuals have lived at their current address for 3 

years. 

¢ SCP-2290-1-A is aged 43 and is employed as a bricklayer at a 
construction company. 

¢ SCP-2290-1-B is aged 36 and is a stay-at-home mother. 

* SCP-2290-1-C is aged 9 and is a student at a local 

elementary school. 


Despite the anomaly's 15 year containment SCP-2290-1 instances 
invariably appear to have an age consistent with these details. This 
is believed to be related to the reset event. 


SCP-2290 anomalous properties were first documented during an 
incident involving Child Protective Services which resulted in the 
removal of SCP-2290-1-C from the residence. The following 
morning SCP-2290-1-C was no longer at the protective home in 
which she had been placed. Child Protective Services removed the 
child an additional 3 times before a UIU agent implanted in CPS 
brought the situation to the Foundation's attention. 


A failure of current containment procedures occurred on November 
15th, 2005. Police were contacted by a neighbor with regards to an 
abusive event originating from SCP-2290-1-A. Police entered the 
home and SCP-2290-1-C was removed from the premises. The 
following interview with Foundation staff took place prior to the 
subsequent reset event. 


Date and Time: November 5th, 2005 at 19:04 
Interviewer: Agent Melissa Malcolm 
Subject: SCP-2290-1-C 


Location: A previously established Foundation adjunct 
site outside of SCP-2290's area of effect. 


Transcript: 


Agent Malcolm: Hello, little one. I'm Agent Malcolm. 


SCP-2290-1-C does not respond. Agent Malcolm 
produces a stuffed elephant doll and sets it on the table 
in front of SCP-2290-1-C. 


Agent Malcolm: He can't hurt you here. | promise. 


SCP-2290-1-C takes the doll and holds it for the 
remainder of the interview. 


SCP-2290-1-C: Yes he can. 

Agent Malcolm: Why do you say that? 
SCP-2290-1-C pauses for several seconds. 
SCP-2290-1-C: He doesn't want me to talk to you. 
Agent Malcolm: | promise you, I'm just here to help. 
SCP-2290-1-C: Are you going to make me forget? 
Agent Malcolm: What do you mean? 


SCP-2290-1-C: | think | wrote myself a note. It said I'll 
forget what he did when tomorrow comes. 


Agent Malcolm: Josie, what else did the note say? 


SCP-2290-1-C: It said | get to play with mommy all day 
before he comes home. 


Agent Malcolm: We're working very hard to get you and 
your mother out of there Josie. 


SCP-2290-1-C: The note said you'd forget too. 
Agent Malcolm: | promise that | won't Josie. 


SCP-2290-1-C: | don't mind. | wanna forget. I'm just glad 
that we can both wake up happy. 


Agent Malcolm concluded the interview at this point. 
SCP-2290-1-C was given a sedative and slept until the 
0500 reset point. 


The doll given to SCP-2290-1-C by Agent Malcolm disappeared with 
the instance the following morning. Current surveillance has 
concluded that the doll is in the possession of the SCP-2290-1-C 
instance and persists over resets.

SCP-2291: FUN BOX 


Item #: SCP-2291 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2291 is stored in 
Anomalous Item Locker ECD-2291 in Site 19. As direct physical 
contact with SCP-2291 is prohibited, only D-Class personnel are 
authorized to move the item. Research involving SCP-2291 is 
prohibited without the express permission of Dr. Mbeke or Site-19’s 
senior administrative staff. Individuals that touch SCP-2291 directly 
are to be designated SCP-2291-A, administered a Class B 
amnestic, and placed into confinement for 3 months or until cleared 
by a supermajority of Site-19's psychiatric panel. Individuals that still 
show symptoms after this period are to be terminated. 


Description: SCP-2291 is a corrugated cardboard box with a edge 
length of 15cm. The word “FUN” is printed in large, black capital 
letters on each side. There are no gaps or joints on SCP-2291's 
surface, suggesting that it was formed whole rather than being 
folded from a flat sheet. D-Class personnel report a rattling noise 
issuing from SCP-2291 when moved, suggesting that it contains one 
or more smaller objects. All attempts to access SCP-2291's interior 
via destructive means have failed, as have imaging studies intended 
to probe the interior. Level-3 personnel and above may request Test 
Logs 2291 -1 though -4 for more details. 


SCP-2291 was recovered from the offices of Corporate 
Solutions in , Ohio. Foundation assets were alerted after the 
entire staff of Corporate Solutions was reported missing within 


a period of 2 days. Mobile Task Force Rho-9 ("The Dundies") was 
assigned to investigate, and recovered SCP-2291 along with 18 
instances of SCP-2291-A, identified as the former employees of 
Corporate Solutions. These individuals were found at their 
workstations, suffering from sleep deprivation and mild dehydration. 


Following test logs from March 9, 2009 were impromptu testing on 
an unpowered SCP-261 prompted by power loss in the wing that the 
SCP-261 is kept in during lunchtime. Results are listed as usual. 


Money entered: 500 yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Unpowered 

Item description: Blastola Cola. Blue and orange can, with 
advertisement on the side for "CAPTAIN COMIC XII PRE-RELEASE 
GIVEAWAY!" No such game is known to exist. Soda tasted of cola 
sweetened with cane sugar. After drinking, subject was seen to 
belch a puff of what has been described as "cold fire". Subject was 
uninjured. A workplace safety poster that was struck with the cloud 
was briefly covered in a thin layer of frost. 


Money entered: 500 yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Unpowered 

Item description: Pile O' Slugs. A produce box, typical of the sort 
used to pack strawberries, full of live garden slugs. Label on the lid 
was hand-written in English. While not consumed, later testing 
revealed that the slugs contained large amounts of vitamin C, E, and 
most of the B complex (except riboflavin). Also contained large 
amounts of arsenic. 


Money entered: 500 yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Unpowered 

Item description: Unknown name. Aluminum box containing brick 
of gelatinous green material. When opened, material began to 
scream. Item was not consumed. When tested later the material had 
shriveled into a tiny green flake suspended in water, and was 
capable of emitting a 10 dB whispering noise. All attempts to identify 
nature of material failed; flake reportedly curled in on itself and 
dissolved shortly after testing began. 


Money entered: 200 yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Powered 

Item description: Bright yellow, elongated package made of 
cellophane, resembling a banana peel. Language of label is 
identified as a combination of Welsh and Spanish, and when 
translated reads as, "Banana Easier to Open! Making Your Banana 
Opening Easy!" Package contained a bright yellow food item 


Direct physical contact with SCP-2291 is to be considered a Delta- 
class cognitohazard. Those who do so are to be designated 
SCP-2291-A and experience the following symptoms: 


¢ All communication by SCP-2291-A instances is altered. 
SCP-2291-A instances involuntarily replace some adjectives, 
especially those involving emotion, with the word “fun”. 

* SCP-2291-A instances smile constantly, even while sleeping. 

* SCP-2291 significantly alters how SCP-2291-A instances 
express and experience emotion. Immediately after initial 
exposure, subjects report increased feelings of happiness and 
significantly reduced resistance to authority. As the time of 
exposure to SCP-2291 increases, however, symptoms 
change; subjects repeatedly exposed to SCP-2291 for a 
period greater than 2 weeks become reliant on SCP-2291's 
effects to experience pleasure. When isolated from 
SCP-2291, these subjects temporarily lose their ability to 
normally process endorphins. In addition to a suppressed 
ability to experience pleasure, these individuals experience 
symptoms analogous to extreme doses of Naloxone in opiate 
abusers; restlessness, sweating, and headache are common. 


When isolated from SCP-2291, SCP-2291-A instances typically 
recover within 3 months. Recovery is negatively correlated with 
exposure time; the less time a subject spends near SCP-2291, the 
greater their chance of recovery. 


Interview Log 2291-17-3: The first 18 known SCP-2291-A subjects 
were the employees of Corporate Solutions, all of whom were 
detained during the recovery of SCP-2291. The following interview 
has been deemed notable due to its content. 


+ Interview Log 2291-17-3 
Interviewed: SCP-2291-17 
Interviewer: Junior Researcher Evans 


Foreword: SCP-2291-17 was interviewed 2 
weeks after containment. SCP-2291-17, 
formerly known as Ahmed __, was an 


accountant at Corporate Solutions. 
<Begin Log> 


Evans: Hello, Mr. _ . I'd like ask you a few 
questions about SCP-2291. 


SCP-2291-17: What? 
Evans: The object in this picture. 


Evans hands SCP-2291-17 a photo of 
SCP-2291 


SCP-2291-17: That? 1 brought that in 
during our holiday party a month ago. 
Everyone had been kinda fun after the layoffs 
last quarter, and she said it was a gift to cheer 
us all up. 


Evans: Who is ? 


SCP-2291-17: She's the head of HR. No one 
really knew her well, she was just... fun, you 
know? Her whole department just weirded all 
of us out. 


Evans: How have you been feeling since 
brought in SCP-2291? 


SCP-2291-17: My face has been feeling kinda 
fun lately. Other than that, | just can't stop 
working. | used to want to go home and see 
my family, but fun box made me realize 
something important. | love my job. My job is 
my life. Why would | go home when | feel so 
empty there? My job is fun. 


SCP-2291-17 is silent for 12 seconds 


SCP-2291-17: Can | borrow your pen? 


Evans: No. 
<End Log> 


Closing Statement: SCP-2291-17 ceased 
exhibiting anomalous traits 28 days after the 
interview. He was administered a Class-B 
amnestic and released, and his SCP 
designation was removed.

+ Interview Log D-14783-7 
Interviewed: D-14783 
Interviewer: Dr. Mbeke 


Foreword: D-14683, a former paralegal, was 
chosen for testing with SCP-2291. To test the 
long-term effects of SCP-2291 on subjects 
similar to the employees of Corporate 
Solutions. D-14683 was asked to complete a 
small amount of legal paperwork after each 
hour of exposure. The following interview was 
performed 3 months into SCP-2291 exposure. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Mbeke: Hello, D-14783. How are you 
today? 


D-14783's tone suggests unhappiness. He 
remains smiling. 


D-14783: Fun. 


Dr. Mbeke: What do you mean by that? You 
sound sad. 


D-14783: | don't have enough to do. | have to 
keep working. Can you guys give me more to 


do? 


Dr. Mbeke: I'll see what we can find for you. 
Tell me, why do you feel like you need to work 
so much? 


D-14783: | have to be fun. When I'm not 
writing, when I'm not getting things done, | just 
get this sense of emptyness. Don't get me 
wrong, whenever I'm near that little box thing, | 
feel great. But even then, | feel almost guilty 
about not working. When I'm not around it, the 
feeling just gets worse. The only way | can feel 
like myself is to work. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: D-14783 did not show 
any progress in recovering from the effects of 
SCP-2291. He reported consistent worsening 
of psychological symptoms as time of 
exposure increased. He was found dead in his 
cell 4 months and 12 days after the above 
interview. Cause of death was ruled to be 
blood loss resulting from suicide, as D-14783 
had repeatedly carved the word "fun" into his 
chest and left forearm with a screw taken from 
his cot. Due to this incident, further long-term 
studies with SCP-2291 are prohibited.

SCP-2292: Gorilla beringei necromantiae 


Item #: SCP-2292 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2292 is to be kept within a 
medium animal containment cell large artificial containment 
enclosure at Sector 21-A of Biological Containment Site-66. The 
containment enclosure must resemble the mountain rainforest 
environments of Central Africa and include trees, a stream, 
temperature control, artificial wind, and audio broadcasts of realistic 
environmental sounds as per recent Ethics Committee guidelines. 
SCP-2292 does not require sustenance but may be provided with 
fruit for cooperative behavior. 


As SCP-2292 is immune to tranquilizers, tissue samples are to be 
retrieved during each weekly enclosure inspection and cleanup. 
SCP-2292 must never be in close proximity to within visual range of 
within 80 m of a deceased animal. SCP-2292-2 are to be terminated 
via incineration and disposed of per hazardous waste protocol. 


Description: SCP-2292 is an anomalous instance of mountain 
gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) with the ability to reanimate animal 
remains and spread a fatal illness by touch’. SCP-2292 is 
biologically alive despite its lack of a heart, which has been replaced 
by a tuberous root-like structure. This apparatus has been classified 
as SCP-2292-1 and is presently hypothesized to be the source of 
SCP-2292's anomalous nature. SCP-2292-1 radiates with an amber 
glow and pumps a similarly colored substance throughout 
SCP-2292's body, which appears to have replaced its blood. 


Organisms reanimated by SCP-2292 have been classified as 
SCP-2292-2. SCP-2292-2 instances are not returned to biological 
life (decay continuing at a natural rate) and will not cease animation 
unless rendered completely immobile, either through total 
destruction or the deconstruction and separation of the entire 


muscular/skeletal system. 


Direct study of SCP-2292's unusual biology, including its surrogate 
"heart", has been rendered difficult due to its immunity to 
tranquilizers, natural strength, and anomalous capabilities. 
Previously employed methods of study, such as vivisection, are no 
longer considered appropriate as per current Ethics Committee 
guidelines. Maintaining the cooperation of SCP-2292 is presently 
considered more important, as further physical analysis could 
potentially result in its neutralization. 


SCP-2292's behavior is within the expected range for a male of its 
species, save for certain deviations presently attributed to chronic 
isolation. Due to its non-human psychology, it has proven difficult to 
properly measure SCP-2292's level of cognition but it has displayed 
a cunning intellect, with SCP-2292 breaching containment on 
numerous occasions. It remains unknown whether SCP-2292's 
intelligence is an aspect of its anomaly, a side-effect of its increased 
lifespan, or something else entirely. 


SCP-2292 was recovered during a 1966 raid on a London 
warehouse owned by subsidiaries of Marshal, Carter, and Dark Ltd., 
SCP-2292 already secured within a acrylic glass containment unit. 
Documents retrieved from the site reveal that SCP-2292 had been 
discarded at the location after having "exhausted its usefulness"; the 
meaning of this remains unknown. The documents state that 
SCP-2292 was initially captured during an 1898 expedition into an 
uninhabited region of the Congo Basin. 


A journal belonging to Harrison T. Winchester III was among the 
recovered documents. Winchester was an experienced explorer 
who, in 1898, left his home in Bradford, England without explanation 
and never returned - his unexplained disappearance the subject of 
frequent speculation. Hired by MC&D to be part of a secret 
expedition into the Congo Basin2, his journal details the capture of 
SCP-2292 and includes descriptions of the potentially anomalous 
location (now classified as SCP-2292-3) where SCP-2292 was 
initially discovered. 


Harrison T. Winchester III Journal Excerpts 


Locating and properly containing SCP-2292-3 is of the utmost 
importance. Despite several expeditions and advances in satellite 
imaging, SCP-2292-3 continues to elude rediscovery. 


Addendum |: The Foundation's attempt to teach SCP-2292 
language via keyboard lexigrams? has had unexpected results. Non- 
anomalous great apes have been taught how to use and express 
themselves through such lexigrams and it was hypothesized that the 
Foundation would have similar results with SCP-2292. 


SCP-2292 destroyed the keyboard while being taught the symbol for 
"flower". Still within its enclosure, SCP-2292 proceeded to use damp 
soil to create a symbol on the wall of its enclosure which it then 
gestured to repeatedly. Creating a new experiment, an electronic 
visual display was installed within the enclosure - visible but outside 
of SCP-2292's reach. SCP-2292 was then provided with various 
non-toxic paints while an image was produced on the display, first 
focusing on flora and fauna native to SCP-2292's environment 
before eventually moving to abstract concepts. 


When SCP-2292 created a corresponding symbol, a piece of sweet 
fruit would be delivered to SCP-2292's enclosure. By 1976, after 
approximately 5 years of study, it was concluded that SCP-2292 not 
only understood language but had in some manner been trained for 
symbolic understanding and communication prior to its containment, 
effectively teaching researchers its own language (or rather, the 
language of whoever previously trained SCP-2292). 


During this time, SCP-2292 (referred to as "Inaki" by its handlers, as 
part of the behavioral analysis program) has shown a fondness for 
crafting primitive stone tools (including a functional spear), painting 
glyphs, and watching the television series Mr. Rogers' 
Neighborhood and Bob Ross' The Joy of Painting. 


SCP-2292 communicates via a specialized keyboard which in turn 
produces an artificial voice. SCP-2292 is to be communicated with 
through the use of sign language and spoken English (preferably 
both in unison). A playful tone of voice has been shown to have a 
calming effect on SCP-2292.

Frown, bad, cry, frown, sad. 


Dr. Hayashi: | am sorry Inaki. Why do you feel 
sad? 


SCP-2292: [lowers head, does not speak] 


Dr. Hayashi: Inaki is not alone. Inaki is loved 
by Sara. Inaki is loved by Joseph and Alex and 
Audrey. The bad ones are gone. No more hurt. 


SCP-2292: Inaki love Sara. Inaki sleep-see 
old home. Cut hole. Bad trouble think. Cut

more being. No more hurt. 


Dr. Hayashi: Inaki. Sara is not leaving you. 


SCP-2292: Sara [will]. Frown sad. Sharp-noise 
cry. [appears distressed] 


Dr. Hayashi: No worry. No fear. Inaki is safe. 
Sara is safe. Understand? 


SCP-2292: [nods, slowly; body language 
continues to suggest melancholy] 


Dr. Hayashi: Alex said that you made new 
tools. Will you show Sara?

Closing Statement: SCP-2292 is not only 
aware of death but its own (apparent) 
immortality. Based on its preexisting 
knowledge of symbolic language, it is possible 
that "Blue-Flower" may have been the one 
responsible for teaching SCP-2292 in the first 
place. And, potentially, the one responsible for 
its anomalous nature. | suspect the answers lie 
within SCP-2292-3.

interpretation of what they communicated, | 
believe that SCP-2292 is the last of its 
civilization. Or rather, a tame animal that 
outlived those who first tamed it. | suspect that 
trained gorillas were common to the 
SCP-2292-3 civilization. | presently 
hypothesize that SCP-2292 was raised for the 
purpose of being anomalously augmented but 
to understand SCP-2292, it is necessary that 
we understand the context of its creation; for 
that, the Foundation must find SCP-2292-3.

SCP-2293: An Inside Joke 


Item #: SCP-2293 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Containment is focused on 
seizing and destroying instances of SCP-2293 and all evidence 
thereof. Manifestation of SCP-2293-affected media to a large 
viewing audience are to be given standard cover stories, and at the 
head researcher's discretion, amnestics are to be distributed. 


Foundation Al (ATLS-12 and GRGN-03) are to monitor all possible 
communications at 12-hour intervals for appearances or descriptions 
of SCP-2293 instances. If a geographical area is found to be 
undergoing a SCP-2293 event, MTF-E-72 (“Bachman's Boys’) is to 
quarantine the area under the cooperation of the location's 
government under any applicable cover story. MTF-E-72 is to enact 
Protocol-GLEAN in order to discern the number of SCP-2293- 
affected media in the area. The destruction of afflicted areas is 
authorized if the number of affected works meets a density of 1300 
occurrences per square kilometer or greater. All civilians displaced 
by this destruction are to be compensated through a joint account 
operated by the Foundation and the involved government. 


Efforts toward studying SCP-2293 should be focused upon making 
predictive forecasts of SCP-2293 locations. 


Description: SCP-2293 is a phenomenon in which media within a 
given area (up to 20km2) that contains any form of dialogue or 
speech may be subject to alterations. The area's baseline Hume 
rating decreases in direct proportion to the quantity of media 
affected by SCP-2293. SCP-2293 appears irregularly, and no 
method for prediction of future manifestations has been devised. 


SCP-2293 causes all affected media to include a portion in which 
the 1999 car accident of American writer Stephen King is 


referenced. In each affected work, the line appears as follows: “Did 
you know that world-renowned writer Stephen King was once hit by 
a car? Just something to consider.” The line occurs once ata 
random point within the media, although a preference is shown for 
moments that ruin an established mood. Media by Stephen King, 
those written under his pseudonym Richard Bachman, or directly 
based on his output are unaffected by SCP-2293 across all 
manifestations. 


The introduction of this line, along with descriptions of characters 
turning to face an unseen audience when applicable, causes the 
work to increase in size. This includes seconds being added to the 
tracks of aloums affected by SCP-2293 but may also cause pages to 
be added to afflicted books, if necessary. In mediums where a work 
has taken up the entirety of a finite soace (such as data ona CD), 
the medium is simply made to hold more data than possible with no 
other changes made to its nature. 


SCP-2293 is also able to change media as it is broadcast, whether 
live or not. This includes live broadcasts but also “reruns” of 
previously taped media. The changes SCP-2293 makes to the 
media are present to all viewers in the affected area. It is unclear 
how these changes are made to live television. 


On average, SCP-2293 events last four days, although some have 
lasted up to three weeks. No area has been subject to the 
SCP-2293 phenomenon more than once. Upon the ending of the 
SCP-2293 phenomenon, all affected media remain changed. 


Addendum 2293-1: On 11/16/16, a raid on the headquarters of 
Gol-5869, "Gamers Against Weed",! uncovered information 
indicating that Gol-5869 was responsible for the creation of 
SCP-2293. The headquarters were found to be abandoned in haste 
less than six hours prior to the Foundation's arrival. 


Included in the document are a collection of the incriminating chat 
logs found on a laptop left at the scene. Only conversations 
pertaining to SCP-2293 have been included.

SCP-2294: The Problems At Hand 


Item #: SCP-2294 
Object Class: Safe 


Containment Procedures: SCP-2294 is to be kept in an acrylic 
glass container with holes drilled in for air at Site-19. SCP-2294 and 
its instances do not seem to require nor have ever requested any 
food or water. The container is to be monitored through the use of 
microphones at all times. These recordings are to be kept for future 
reference in Foundation archives. The room and container are also 
equipped with an intercom for interview purposes with SCP-2294. 


Description: SCP-2294 is a severed, Caucasian right hand 
measuring around fifteen centimeters in length and eight 
centimeters in width. The hand partially extends beyond its wrist, 
and the end of the hand is covered in scar tissue and badly 
damaged in some areas. 


The primary anomalous feature of SCP-2294 are the thumb and 
fingertips of the hand, which have been replaced with heads which 
strongly resemble the former US president Richard Milhous Nixon. 
Beyond the appearance of the heads, the fingertips also have the 
voice of the previous president. Auditory amplification is required in 
order hear SCP-2294, due to their diminutive size. Although 
SCP-2294 is capable of movement through the use of its fingers ina 
manner similar of certain insects or spiders, it is usually found laying 
palm up with the fingers raised so that the the instances are facing 
each other. 


All of the instances appear to be sentient, and seem to be capable 
of intelligence and thinking on the level of most humans. Four of the 
five “heads” believe they are still President, and often engage in 
debates over what decisions should be made for the country. The 
topics of their debates are usually about current events happening in 
the political world of the US, both domestic and foreign. It is 


currently unknown how they obtain information about these current 
events. Despite the heads having a wide range of topics, they seem 
to be very limited in finding solutions. The debates have included: 


¢ The Cold War with the Soviet Union 

¢ The 9/11 attacks and how to respond to them 
¢ Legalization of Same-Sex marriage 

* Gun Control 

* Climate Change 


While the heads resemble that of Richard Nixon, they all have 
varying beliefs and outlooks, which is primarily conveyed through 
their political debates. The instances (SCP-2294-1-5) will briefly 
discuss non-political subjects in interviews, but will often find ways to 
relate the subject back to politics in some manner. 


SCP-2294 instanci Type of Finger Personality 

2294-1 Thumb Has a somewhat 
moderate personality. 
2294-1 will always try 
to mediate arguments 
between the other 
fingers when intense 
arguing breaks out. 
When it comes to 
making political 
decisions of foreign 
policy, it prefers peace 
when possible, but 
has conceded to war 
under certain 
conditions and 
provocations, 
especially when there 
was a deliberate 
attack on the US or its 
people. It professes 
usually conservative 
ideals when it comes 
to domestic policy. It

Middle 


frequently gives 
lengthy speeches (2 
hours and 14 minutes 
on the longest 
instance) to the other 
instances about what 
it believes is best for 
the country. 

More docile in nature 
than 2294-1. It is very 
hesitant to enter 
conflict with another 
country, and only 
concedes to war when 
a very clear attack has 
been made against 
the US. It is distressed 
about the 
environmental status 
of the world, and 
seems to be the only 
instance that is so. It 
also displays concern 
about increased 
equality in the US, 
socially and 
economically. 
Extremist and nearly 
radical in its level of 
patriotism and desire 
for advancement of 
the US. Dissolute and 
combative in nature, it 
sees war as a viable 
answer to nearly every 
conflict, whether it be 
minor or major, and 
encourages using the 
power of the US asa 
tool to further expand

the country at any 
opportunity. It is 
incredibly

domestic policy, and 
it's most prevalent 
concern is the growth

economically and 
militarily. It is 
frequently seen 
causing arguments

large reason as to why 
war is such a common 
topic in the debates. 
Also very extreme in 
its views. Acting 
reserved and 
restrained when 
speaking, it is 
incredibly pacifistic, 
and has never 
conceded to war in 
any of the recordings 
the Foundation has of 
it, even when the US 
has been directly 
threatened or 
attacked. Nearly all of 
its decisions end up 
being related to 
creating or working 
towards world peace. 
It desires an 
economical system 
change in the US from 
capitalism to 


2294-5 


Little 


socialism, as it feels it 
would make 
individuals of the US 
more fulfilled and 
connected to each 
other. 

SCP-2294-5 is the 
most unusual of the 
instances. It is the 
only one aware of its 
status as a sentient 
appendage, and is 
even aware of its 
SCP-classification and 
containment, 
something the other 
instances have never 
verbally 
acknowledged. It is 
disinterested in 
politics, and rarely 
partakes in the other 
four instances’ 
debates. It displays 
signs of chronic 
depression, and is 
incredibly apathetic 
about its containment. 
Despite being the 
most self-aware 
instance of SCP-2294, 
it has not answered 
any questions 
regarding its origins, 
and avoids answering 
when asked, mostly 
by redirecting the 
question onto other 
subjects. 


Whether or not true sentience is held by instances 1-4 is currently 
under question, due to their fixation with politics and inability to 
discuss anything else for a substantial length of time, as well as their 
lack of awareness about their containment. 


Recovery Log - 2294: 


SCP-2294 was recovered on / / .Apolice investigation had gone 
underway in a wooded, rural area located in southern Kansas!, due 
to several complaints from hikers of a harsh odor emanating from a 
one-story house that had been reportedly abandoned. An 
investigation of the house showed nothing unusual on the first story, 
and there were no signs of the house being inhabited. 


The police investigation team entered the basement, where five 
corpses in advanced stages of decomposition were found around a 
circular table. Four of the five corpses were restrained and shackled. 
SCP-2294 was found on the table, reportedly speaking, but was not 
loud enough to be heard. 


Reports of a speaking, disembodied hand quickly reached the 
Foundation, and a recovery team was dispatched to the area. 
Amnestics were administered to those involved, and SCP-2294 was 
recovered. A note was also recovered from the police team 
database that had been found in the basement (located at the end of 
this document). A thorough investigation by Foundation personnel 
revealed no other anomalous objects or activity in the basement. 
DNA testing identified the four restrained individuals, but showed no 
relation in genetics or demographics. These four were confirmed to 
be kidnapping victims. The fifth remaining individual has yet to be 
identified. 


Autopsies of the bodies revealed no anomalous properties of the 
corpses, and showed the four identified individuals had died from 
severe cerebral hemorrhaging, and the unidentified individual had 
been killed by a shotgun wound to the chest. The house where 
SCP-2294 was recovered is currently under surveillance by the 
Foundation. Reports of the house being entered by any person are 
to be relayed to Foundation personnel immediately for investigation. 


Inthe over hours of auditory recording the Foundation has of 


SCP-2294, it has never mentioned this incident, why it was found 
there, or how (if at all) it is related to what events may have 
happened there. SCP-2294 does not acknowledge questions about 
the topic when interviewed.

SCP-2295: The Bear with a Heart of Patchwork 


Item #: SCP-2295 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2295 is to be kept in a 
standard containment locker within Storage Wing-25 in Site-37. 


Personnel with Level 3 or higher security clearance are authorized 
to perform tests on SCP-2295 after filling out the appropriate 
paperwork. Please contact Dr. Gergis if required access to 
SCP-2295 is expected to exceed twenty-four (24) hours. 


Description: SCP-2295 is a patchwork stuffed bear, approximately 
0.46m from 'head' to 'foot,' and stuffed with synthetic fiber and 
cotton. SCP-2295 has a small, anatomically correct pin of a heart on 
the left side of its thorax, and a bow wrapped around its neck. The 
fabric and color of SCP-2295's patches vary. Tests confirm that no 
components of SCP-2295 contain any anomalous chemical 
properties. 


SCP-2295 enters an active state when within two (2) meters of a 
human sustaining major trauma to an organ. When in the proximity 
of two or more possible subjects, SCP-2295 will invariably choose 
the youngest subject. SCP-2295 will anomalously produce scissors, 
white thread, and either sewing needles or a crocheting hook from 
its mouth and use any fabric and stuffing in close proximity! to 
fashion an instance of SCP-2295-1, a patchwork imitation of the 
subject's organ. SCP-2295-1 vanishes from sight and the subject 
falls into a state of unconsciousness. SCP-2295-1 instances then 
replace the subject's damaged organ via anomalous means. The 
whereabouts of organs replaced this way are undetermined. 


If there is no usable material in close proximity, SCP-2295 will use 
fabric and stuffing from itself. SCP-2295 regenerates one (1) gram 
of stuffing every day until completely replacing any lost or used 


stuffing. Note that fabric used this way does not regenerate, and 
additional fabric must be placed near SCP-2295 for the purpose of 
self-mending. 


Instances of SCP-2295-1 successfully carry out their respective 
functions despite the numerous expected biological, chemical, and 
medical incompatibilities. Once within the subject, adjacent tissues 
and veins attach to the imitated organ without observable 
complications. There have been no cases of rejected SCP-2295-1 
instances, and all subjects recorded at the time of writing made full 
recoveries. 


Test Log-2295 


Testing approved to test the limitations of SCP-2295. Materials 
provided within testing chamber. 


+Test Log 


Subject: D-2353, 38 years old

Notes: SCP-2295 sews two (2) 5m x 5m 
sections of patchwork fabric. SCP-2295 cuts 
appropriately sized swatches and manually 
places one layer onto subject's affected areas, 
creating multiple instances of SCP-2295-1, 
and then repeats this process. The created 
SCP-2295-1 layers act as dermis and

SCP-2296: Emperor Penguin Tube Mommas 


Item #: SCP-2296 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The containment protocol for 
SCP-2296 is focused on minimising the chance of civilian discovery, 
and consists of three main strands. 


First: popularising paths for trans-Antarctic treks that avoid emperor 
penguin breeding grounds, such as the Ronne Ice Shelf—Ross Ice 
Shelf route. 


Second: holding exclusive rights to wildlife filming in the Antarctic 
through a Foundation holding company, with the cover story that no 
other media company is able to adhere to stringent environmental 
regulations concerning commercial activities in the Antarctic. 


Third: authoring all academic papers on emperor penguin biology, 
and preventing any academic group from observing emperor 
penguin populations, also under the guise of stringent environmental 
regulations. 


The Foundation is not to prevent emperor penguins from accessing 
SCP-2296. 


Description: SCP-2296 is a phenomenon observed in the 
Antarctic! breeding grounds of the emperor penguin (Aptenodytes 
forsteri). SCP-2296 is active during the June—July period in which 
male emperor penguins incubate eggs while females remain at sea 
to feed.2 


In this time, males frequently form tight “huddles’” of ten to several 
thousand individuals — a behavioural adaptation to tolerate 
conditions that can reach —50 °C with 200 km/h winds — and go 
without feeding from the sea for a mean of 115 days. 


SCP-2296 is observed in these huddles. Once a huddle has been 
active for at least 12 minutes, pink, dimpled tubes made from 
polyethylene and collagen are extruded from the ground over a 
period of 20 seconds. SCP-2296 tubes are 89412 cm tall4 with a 
diameter of 21 cm. The centres of the tubes are hollow, and contain 
a gelatinous mixture of protein, fat and water that is continually 
replenished from an unknown source. The source of the tubes 
themselves is also unknown. Attempts to dig out SCP-2296 
instances cause the tubes to instantly retract into the ground to an 
unknown depth, and no underground infrastructure of any kind has 
been detected in emperor penguin breeding grounds. 


In addition, 16 radially arranged nozzles point perpendicularly from 
the exposed end of SCP-2296 tubes. The nozzles are 13 cm long, 
with rounded rectangular openings measuring 6.4 cm x 3.2 cm, and 
constantly produce streams of warm air heated to 20-28 °C. 


SCP-2296 tubes manifest at random positions at least 1.7 m from 
the edge of the huddle, and at least 2.5 m away from any other 
instance. Emperor penguin males then take turns feeding from the 
protein/fat mixture within the tubes and warming themselves on the 
streams of air produced, moving away to the edge of the huddle 
once they are satiated. When the huddle separates, SCP-2296 
instances retract over a period of 4 seconds, secreting dense ice 
from the hollow interior to fill any channels left by their movement. 


One test of SCP-2296 deprivation on emperor penguin populations 
has been conducted. After 10 days without access to SCP-2296, 
341 of 1200 males in the deprived group of the Franklin Island 
colony expired.° Deceased males displayed signs of both 
hypothermia and malnutrition. Furthermore, all penguins displayed 
listless behaviour during SCP-2296 deprivation, with significant 
reductions in self-directed movement and social vocalisations 
observed. The Ethics Committee has forbidden further tests on 
SCP-2296 deprivation on emperor penguins, as well as containment 
procedures that would prevent emperor penguins from accessing 
SCP-2296. 


SCP-2296 instances also produce a secondary anomalous effect, 
designated SCP-2296-A. SCP-2296-A takes the form of a repeated 
“thought-feel” message directed to sentient minds within 1.5 m. 


Although SCP-2296-A has only been completely confirmed for 
human minds to date, ethological results in expedition sled dogs 
suggest that non-sapients (Such as emperor penguins) are similarly 
affected. 


Human subjects experiencing SCP-2296-A report difficulties in 
providing an exact transcription of the message, which is largely 
emotive rather than lexical. However, feelings of comfort and 
contentment are consistently described. In particular, subjects note 
a greater sense of peace with the harsh environmental conditions of 
the area.6 


The phrases most frequently found in SCP-2296-A transcriptions are 
given below. 


+ SCP-2296-A transcription phrases 


YOU ARE IMPORTANT. 
YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. 
KEEP GOING. 


I'M PROUD OF YOU. 


Footnotes 

1. SCP-2296 is also observed within relevantSCP-2720iterations, as 
well as within relevant populations generated fromSCP-646. 

2. Uniquely amongst penguins, emperor males take sole 
responsibility for incubation, which involves balancing the egg on top 
of their feet for an unbroken period of 64 days. 

3. This figure includes the 100—160 km journey from shore to 
breeding grounds, time for courtship and 64-day egg incubation. 

4. As adult emperor penguins measure 110-130 cm in height, 
SCP-2296 tubes are typically not visible from outside the huddle. 

5. This also resulted in the loss of all eggs incubated by deceased 
males. 

6. Lack of exposure to this message is believed to have caused the 
listlessness in emperor males during SCP-2296 deprivation 
experiments.

SCP-2297: The Killer Thermostat 


Item #: SCP-2297 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2297 is to be magnetically 
suspended in a Safe-Class storage locker that is not parallel or 
perpendicular to the floor of the room in which the storage locker is 
kept. This storage locker must be assessed for damages once every 
24 hours. If the Safe-Class storage locker has been rendered 
inoperable and/or unsuited for the containment of SCP-2297, an on- 
site supervisor must be notified immediately. 


Description: SCP-2297 has the appearance of a BOSCH 
RTH6450D1009 5-1-1-Day Programmable Thermostat. Of note is 
SCP-2297’s unique internal composition. Inside the casing of 
SCP-2297 rests a fleshy interior comprised of various organs whose 
functions remain mostly unknown, though visual comparisons liken 
them to the lungs and kidneys found in humans. The flesh itself is 
highly resistant to mechanical sampling using conventional tools, 
thus the use of projectional radiology has been necessitated. These 
tests were able to reveal a system comprised of valves and flaps 
responsible for the intake and output of oxygen. A proposal to use 
more invasive forms of sampling is currently awaiting approval. 


SCP-2297 will remain in a dormant state indefinitely so long as it 
does not rest face-up on a flat surface. When mounted or placed on 
a flat surface, SCP-2297 will activate and display one of several 
messages in the following format: "[X] IS NORMAL". These 
messages pertain to the anomalous conditions that will be exhibited 
within the room SCP-2297 is activated. Determined by the displayed 
message, the environment and temperature of the room SCP-2297 
occupies will be altered drastically. These effects steadily increase 
in intensity upon activation of SCP-2297 before instantaneously 
dissipating four minutes after activation. After SCP-2297 has carried 
out a full, uninterrupted four minutes of its chosen effect, it functions 


as anormal thermostat until removed and reactivated. Those 
located within the same room as SCP-2297 are not concerned with 
the effects of change in temperature and environment, and do not 
believe themselves to be in any danger. 


The messages and their corresponding effects documented thus far 
can be found in Addendum-2297-1. 


SCP-2297 only affects the specific room in which it was activated. 
SCP-2297 appears to self-define a "room" as any area that is 
enclosed by walls, a floor, a ceiling, and a distinct structural element 
dividing the room from the rest of the structure. These "divisions" 
can range from doorways to a change in elevation such as a flight of 
stairs or a ladder. Repeated testing in a singular room setup yielded 
many different results and led to the conclusion that SCP-2297 
determines for itself what is and what is not a room. SCP-2297 also 
recognizes if it has been placed in an outdoor area, and will not 
activate when placed outside. Further testing in this environment is 
low-priority due to the many precautions necessary for such a 
potentially dangerous experiment. 


SCP-2297 was recovered at in after the 

Conference, an event notable for being a gathering of scientists 
dedicated to the preservation of the environment. An agent 
embedded within the local police force notified the Foundation of the 
presence of anomalous activity after being dispatched to the scene 
of the incident. All attendees of the Conference were found 
dead in conference room 417. The cause of deaths were initially 
labeled as respiratory failure from smoke inhalation and/or self- 
immolation, but were later determined to be immolation by 
SCP-2297. Although SCP-2297 has some notable cognitive abilities 
based on previously conducted research, it does not seem to have 
any reason for or predictable order in which it carries out its 
anomalous abilities at this time. 


+ Addendum 2297-1 


Message: FIRE IS NORMAL 

Effect: The average temperature of the room 
increased from 23 degrees Celsius to 1113 
degrees Celsius over a period of 4 minutes. 


Results: A singular D-Class subject indicated 
no signs of discomfort or pain as his body was 
burning. He did not display any symptoms of 
respiratory distress or succumb to respiratory 
failure before expiring from fire-related injuries 
despite the room having purposefully 
inadequate ventilation. 


Message: ICE IS NORMAL 

Effect: The average temperature of the room 
decreased from 23 degrees Celsius to -195 
degrees Celsius over a period of 4 minutes. 
Results: A singular D-Class subject reported 
no changes in movement capabilities, 
temperature, or comfort for the entire duration 
of the test. Three D-Class personnel 
responded similarly, the only difference of note 
being that the D-Class huddled together for 
warmth in what would be the final stages of 
profound hypothermia, despite all D-Class 
claiming otherwise. All test subjects survived 
testing due to the short exposure time, as 
predicted. 


Message: NOTHING IS NORMAL 

Effect: The average temperature of the room 
increased from 23 degrees Celsius to 36 
degrees Celsius over a period of 4 minutes. 
Results: Testing was inconclusive. Repeated 
testing has resulted in subjects who claim to 
be either melting, freezing, or simply dying. A 
test conducted with several D-Class in the 
same room results in each subject reporting a 
different temperature and condition. Despite 
their claims the D-Class were never observed 
to be suffering from any of the described 
conditions and were fine once removed from 
the testing room. Evaluation to determine 
whether or not the "simulated" pain inflicted 
will have long-term psychological effects on 


the D-Class is still underway. 


Message: HEIGHT IS NORMAL 

Effect: The average air pressure of the room 
decreased from 100 kPa to 20 kPa over a 
period of 4 minutes. Air inside the room 
condenses, producing a fine mist inside the 
test chamber. 

Results: Researchers noted increased heart 
rates and lower blood circulation in the D- 
Class subjects; a post-test autopsy on one 
subject revealed a severe accumulation of 
fluids in the lungs. Despite this, all D-Class 
continued to report that they "feel fine" during 
testing and none succumbed to the effects of 
the lowered air pressure until after leaving the 
testing room. 


Message: WATER IS NORMAL 

Effect: The specific humidity of the room 
increased from an average of 7.6205 g/kg 
(44%) to a specific humidity of 37.434 g/kg 
(214%) over a period of 4 minutes. 

Results: All D-Class tested were observed to 
have difficulty breathing, with two of the D- 
Class hyperventilating mid-test. Despite the 
observed hyperventilation, both D-Class were 
able to interact and communicate with other D- 
Class in the test chamber. When researchers 
requested a response from the affected D- 
Class they either refused to communicate or 
were incapable of doing so. 


Message: IS NORMAL 

Effect: The environment of the room changed 

from a controlled temperature of 23 degrees 

Celsius, consistent air pressure and humidity 

to one of , with averages of and 
. Of note were the runic markings that 

appeared on the floor and ceiling, as well as 


convulsions, and shortly thereafter collapsed and died. Autopsy 
showed that the subject had become seven inches taller and grown 
in mass by 13.6%, and that death and seizures were due to 
expansion of the brain. Analysis of the cake showed large amounts 
of human growth hormone as well as several unidentified chemicals.

SCP-2298: Life in a Plastic Box 


Item #: SCP-2298 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The shed housing SCP-2298 is 
to be relocated to Site-162's Euclid Wing. The containment chamber 
is to be monitored via security cameras and motion detectors which, 
when triggered, will automatically set off a medium threat level 
alarm. Motion detectors must be turned off remotely prior to entering 
the containment chamber. 


Routine surveys of SCP-2298 are to be conducted on a bi-weekly 
basis, and any significant changes in behavior of SCP-2298-1 
instances is to be reported. 


Description: SCP-2298 is a city block which occupies the confines 
ofasmallshedin __, ltaly. The exterior of the shed, constructed of 
concrete, wood, and plaster, has a length of 3 m and a width of 

2.4 m. As one enters the shed, they will find themselves exiting a 
building within SCP-2298. The block in question consists of two 
roads (Planck Ave and Luminol Rd) which intersect at the center of 
the block, and 14 buildings of varying sizes and purposes. These 
include apartments, retail stores, a small supermarket, post office, 
and . All materials! in SCP-2298 are composed of plastic, 
rubber, latex, and/or resins. 


SCP-2298 covers a space of 94 m2, and appears to be "boxed in", 
as the edges of the city block lead to solid plastic walls painted to 
look like a skyline. Further analysis reveals that the sky directly 
above SCP-2298 is also a ceiling placed 2 km above ground level. 
When SCP-2298 is devoid of human activity, the sky has been 
noted to change based on the time of day. 


SCP-2298-1 instances designate the 37 sentient polyester resin 
mannequins which inhabit SCP-2298. SCP-2298-1 instances do not 


appear animate while humans or any recording devices are inside 
SCP-2298, but will change location at unknown intervals when the 
city is unobserved. The mannequins display only a vague 
awareness of human intervention within the city block (See 
Addendum). It is theorized that when the city is observed, time 
within SCP-2298 is paused2. 


Long term study of SCP-2298 and SCP-2298-1 instances have 
shown patterns within individual mannequin behavior, suggesting 
that each one has a unique personality and even interpersonal 
relationships. 


Addendum 2298a: On / / , contact with SCP-2298-1 instances 
was attempted through a survey by the Foundation front company 
S&C Plastics. Twenty-six copies of the survey were delivered; text is 
below. 


Hi. We're a research team at S&C Plastics conducting a 
product survey. We would greatly appreciate it if you 
answered our questions and returned this letter to your 
local post office. Doing so will allow us to provide a better 
experience with our products, and give you as the 
consumer more value with every purchase. 


Question 1: What is your full name? 

Question 2: Are you male or female? 

Question 3: How old are you? 

Question 4: Have you ever heard of S&C Plastics? 
Question 5: Would you consider buying S&C Plastics 
products in the near future? 

Question 6: What is your current town of residence? 
Question 7: On a rate from 1 to 10, how well do you rate 
your reaction to change? 

Question 8: Do you believe in the paranormal? Please 
explain why or why not.

SCP-2299: Cephalensis-9 


Item #: SCP-2299 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: All cases of SCP-2299 infection 
are to be contained at Site-116, formerly the town of ‘ 
Washington. The town and all its residents are to be confined on- 
site, and all births and deaths are to be noted by on-site personnel. 
Should affected individuals make an attempt to approach 
Foundation personnel for any reason, they are to be turned away 
immediately. Personnel are not allowed to engage any affected 
individuals in any extended conversation. New additions are to be 
integrated in groups of four or more to ensure safety in the event of 
community rejection. 


MTF Upsilon-51 ("Red Hand") is to be dispatched to any incident of 
SCP-2299 and must consist of at least 3 separate teams alternating 
On active duty, to maintain a perpetual state of high alert. All social 
media outlets and digital forums including clear communication 
between users typing incoherent text should be noted and 
investigated. Any significant reports of large-scale violence atypical 
for the region or reporting unusual communication should be 
investigated as a potential outbreak. 


Extreme caution must be maintained, as confirmed instances of 
SCP-2299 are fully aware of outside observation and will take 
extreme measures to evade capture. If an individual is known to 
have been infected within a 24-hour period, they are to undergo 
Class-A amnestic treatment as quickly as possible. Cases that have 
persisted untreated for more than 30 hours are to be restrained and 
terminated if necessary. All remains are to be incinerated, including 
personal effects and clothing. 


Description: SCP-2299 is an unknown phenomenon which occurs 
seemingly at random, targeting groups of people between 4 and 


600,000 in number. Over the course of 30-36 hours SCP-2299 
significantly alters the host's mental faculties, causing damage to the 
hippocampus’, the ventromedial prefrontal cortex2, and an overall 
reduction in function of the frontal lobe. 


Affected individuals typically suffer severe mental degradation and 
physical damage consistent with traumatic encephalopathy. The 
most consistent symptoms exhibited by the host have been 
restricted blood flow to the anterior cingulate cortex and an 
increase in size and blood flow to the amygdala. The most 
prominent signs involve affected individuals holding fluid 
conversation despite suffering from severe aphasia. When 
manifesting digitally, individuals display severe grammatical errors 
and incoherent text indicative of improper hand placement while 


typing. 


Prior to SCP-2299's apparition, individuals have described a 30-40 
second period of sensory overload during which the individuals are 
said to feel momentarily panic-stricken, while having a very strong 
taste of blood or metal. Following this, SCP-2299's brain-altering 
effects begin to take place, accompanied by a strong odor of 
ammonia or formaldehyde, lasting up to two days following affliction. 


Discovery: SCP-2299 was first detected in the town of ; 
Washington, where residents reported witnessing what was 
described as a "giant ghostly octopus" encompassing much of the 
sky for 10-15 minutes. Photographs taken by the residents show the 
anomaly to be indistinct, but apparently resembling a disembodied 
spinal column, with the vertebrae extending into tendrils. Doppler 
radar did not detect anything unusual in the region beyond a brief 
spike in humidity which had begun to dissipate when the reported 
event occurred. 


The incident itself was connected to SCP-2299 when outbreaks 
matching the observed events in occurred in separate cities, 
preceded by the sudden apparition of the image in the sky. 


Interviews with affected individuals indicate most have never 
witnessed the event, while those who have describe it as having 
appeared and disappeared within a fraction of a second. Thus far, 
only the first reported sighting of the apparition has remained longer 


than a fraction of a second. 


Method of Action: Persons infected by SCP-2299 typically go 
through five discernible stages of "infection." 


6-20 minutes: Subjects begin to display symptoms such as 
poor motor control, trembling, sporadic instances of short-term 
memory loss, confabulation*, hypoxia, and in rare instances, 
potentially fatal temporal lobe epilepsy. Subjects are highly 
uncomfortable discussing their symptoms with anyone but 
close friends or family members. 


1-4 hours: Subjects will begin to experience spikes in blood 
flow to the amygdala, prompting abnormal growth of the 
amygdala, a process which has proven fatal in 1-2% of those 
infected. Further damage occurs to the anterior cingulate 
cortex, inducing a state of greatly exaggerated fear, anxiety, 
and paranoia. Subjects at this stage begin to seek out others, 
engaging either in like-minded discussion or arguments. 


4-6 hours: Adrenaline and dopamine flow is stimulated when 
the subject engages in a series of actions or activities which 
lead to violent encounters with others. Affected individuals 
begin to identify one another via shared symptoms and begin 
to cooperate with one another in committing violent acts 
usually directed against others who are not affected, although 
affected individuals have been noted assaulting one another. 


6-15 hours: Affected individuals taking part in larger groups 
will begin pushing for an escalation of violence against 
individuals not affected by SCP-2299. Subjects at this point 
tend to withdraw completely from friends and family members 
who are not affected. Those who remain in contact tend to 
steer all conversations towards socio-economic, political, and 
religious topics, or more often topics involving a supposedly 
hypothetical "invasion" by "trans-dimensional" humans. 


15-30 hours: Organized groups consisting of infected 
individuals tend towards more coordinated and organized acts 
of violence, including small acts of terrorism and rituals 
involving imitations of cannibalism. Groups will systematically 


single out unaffected individuals and subject them either to 
"liquidation" or "rectification", the former being a ritualized 
execution, the latter an apparent attempt to "spread" the 
condition via complete blood transfusion with several of the 
affected. 


After 30-36 hours, further alterations of the affected individual's brain 
caused by SCP-2299 cease. Adrenaline and dopamine levels 
stabilize, allowing for more complex thought and calculations. At this 
point, the affected individual appears to function normally within their 
community and in most cases is indistinguishable from an 
unaffected individual. 


Observation Log: An outbreak of SCP-2299 was reported in the 
town of ,some_ km from its reported point of origin, : 
Washington. Foundation personnel moved in to contain the site 
within 2 and a half hours of first report. Agents and Class-D 
personnel in various disguises were dispatched to the town to 
engage in conversation with affected personnel in 2-hour patrol 
intervals. All involved personnel were instructed not to contradict or 
antagonize the affected townspeople. 


Timestamp Recorded Incidents 

16:40 Personnel arrive on-site and enter 
a local bar. Subjects within are 
engaged in excited conversation 
of a political nature. Remarks 
contain a strong misogynistic 
leaning, with certain politicians 
denigrated for being "pussy- 
whipped", regardless of political 
party. D-Class are invited to 
participate in conversation. 
Cameras note several instances 
of spilled drinks and dropped 
glasses, as most individuals have 
their hands trembling and are 
blinking rapidly. Conversation 
briefly halted as one individual 
suffers an epileptic seizure and is

taken to the local clinic. Someone 
remarks that the victim must have 
been “an eight” or “an ape.” 
Personnel witness a man arguing 
with young woman in the street. 
The topic appears to involve the 
merits of grapes over saline 
capsules. Most individuals flee 
the scene, while a sizable group 
of men arrive and take up the 
argument, disseminating it along 
largely socio-economic lines. 
Another group, consisting largely 
of older men and women, begin to 
assault the others. All groups 
disband following arrival of police. 
Two females are included in D- 
Class group. Few of the subjects 
make note of them unless directly 
confronted. Conversations in the 
street begin to take on a strong 
nationalistic tone, while others 
explicitly involve the romanticizing 
of "Civil War genitals". Personnel 
are approached by aman anda 
woman asking if they saw 
someone "smiling too much, like 
a shark." The affected individuals 
express disbelief at the negative 
response, and dismiss the D- 
Class as “blind idiots.” 

Most of the residents are awake, 
as police officers arrest several 
individuals near the town square. 
An angry mob is protesting, and 
violence escalates as rocks and 
beer bottles are flung at the 
officers. Shots are fired, and D- 
Class personnel flee the scene. 
As they depart, they are stopped 


Item description: "Prangles". Item resembles in almost every way a 
standard tube of Pringles, Sour Cream and Onion flavour. The only 
difference in appearance is that the mascot on the box has red skin 
and takes on a vaguely demonic look. Item was given to a Class D 
subject. Once the lid of the Prangles is unsealed, or "popped", the 
subject was literally unable to prevent herself from eating the chips 
continuously. Moreover, the tube appears to be bottomless in 
nature, as the subject has been eating for several days at time of 
writing and shows no sign of slowing down. No difference between 
the chips and normal Pringles was found. This is the second subject 
to be tested; the first one continued eating even after termination, 
and the tube had to be forcibly removed from her grasp.

nutrition facts save for a gigantic red "X" on the front. Opened 
cautiously to find nothing more than standard potato chips. Fed 
chips to D-Class 24045-06, whose voice immediately grew deeper 
and requested this agent join him in extreme sport activities such as 
surfooarding, mountain climbing, and bungee jumping. Request was 
denied.

navy blue can with the Maxwell House Logo prominently displayed 
on upper half. Lower half shows steaming cup of coffee and coffee 
beans. Ingredients listed as water, artificial flavor, and sucrose. 10 
calories. Item was bitter and noted to be inferior to instant coffee. 
Drink is not produced by Maxwell House after product research.

by aman armed with a shotgun, 
who addresses the personnel 
(including accompanying female 
agent) as "Harold", a close friend 
of the subject. Subject does not 
distinguish between personnel, 
and invites the four "Harolds" over 
for breakfast in the morning. 
Personnel respectfully decline, 
and depart without further 
incident. 

Personnel find several houses 
boarded up, with police officers 
patrolling streets near the local 
bar with marked frequency. 
Several armed men sit outside 
the bar, apparently keeping 
watch. Within, the billiards area 
had been cleared out, allowing for 
bare-chested men and women to 
participate in impromptu bare- 
knuckle boxing matches. Many of 
the men and women have not left 
the bar since the day before. 
Police maintain a heavy presence 
near the bar, although the armed 
men have disappeared. 
Personnel enter the bar, and find 
everyone within calm and 
collected. In groups of two, the 
men slowly begin to leave the bar, 
heading out the back exit. 
Personnel exit the bar, and are 
briefly accosted by local police. 
Officers release the D-Class after 
identifying them as out-of- 
towners. Personnel note the 
officers are highly agitated and 
trembling noticeably. 

Officers begin to surround and 


enter the bar. A bomb is 
detonated moments later, killing 
many of the officers and 
collapsing the small building. 
Personnel flee the scene. 

11:00 Much of the male populace (along 
with sporadic females) of the town 
emerges from their homes fully 
armed. Questioned by personnel, 
they state they are "going 
hunting" and head towards the 
western outskirts of the town. 
Many individuals have blood or 
dye coating their right hands in an 
apparently ritualistic fashion. 

11:32 Personnel station themselves on 
the roof of a house near the 
outskirts of town. Subjects are 
witnessed "hunting" the female 
population whom they have 
apparently herded into a 500-acre 
region of the town. 

11:45 Observation is ended and town 
placed under quarantine 


Affected individuals have proven resilient to interrogation attempts, 
often necessitating 10-18 hours of uninterrupted dialogue by skilled 
interrogators in order to ascertain relevant information. From such 
interrogations, it has been determined that the affected individuals 
may be faintly aware of the existence of SCP-2299 as a physical 
affliction, with some regarding it as a minor nuisance and others as 
a vital "supplement." The sole consistent factor between affected 
individuals apparently aware of SCP-2299 has been in associating it 
and those affected by it with the number 9. 


A single interview log has been retained due to potential relevancy 
in discerning the nature of SCP-2299. 


Interview Log 


Interviewed: [V Madsen, former resident of 


, Washington] 


Interviewer: [Dr. Anna Sobotka] 


<Log skips ahead by 22 minutes> 


Dr. Sobotka: To repeat, you're well aware of 
this— 


Mr. Madsen: Cephalensis-9 


Dr. Sobotka: How did you become aware of 
it? 


Mr. Madsen: Pretty easy. Everyone was 
outside looking at the big tentacle cloud, taking 
pictures. | didn't care, | was just out for a 
smoke. Suddenly I'm getting chills and 
shaking, then everyone else in town starts up. 
Head to the clinic and it's damn near empty. 
The doctor says I'm fine, but | see his hands 
are trembling and he's struggling to write. So | 
start up a casual conversation with him and lo 
and behold, we start getting pretty friendly. 
Turns out we got a lot in common. 


Dr. Sobotka: What sort of things did you have 
in common? 


Mr. Madsen: Just things... Ways of thinking, 
that sort of thing. 


Dr. Sobotka: What about the name, 
"Cephalensis-9"? Where did that come from? 


Mr. Madsen: Are you east European, Ms. 
Sobotka? "Sobotka"... sounds Polish, | think. 


Dr. Sobotka: | am of Polish descent, yes. 


Mr. Madsen: Weird... you don't really look too 


Polish. 
Dr. Sobotka: What? 


Mr. Madsen: Are you sure your parents were 
pure Polish? You've got some decidedly non- 
European features to you. Might be a bit of 
miscegenation in your line. 


Dr. Sobotka: The name, please, Mr. Madsen. 


Mr. Madsen: Just sounded right. It was like 
word association—hear a word, say the first 
thing that pops into your head. Every time | 
thought about the thing, | got words like 
"cephalus" popping in my head. Then it 
morphed to "Cephalensis" so | started calling it 
that and it stuck. | rather like it. The "9" part, 
well... makes it sound more refined that way, 
you know? Like Cephalensis-1 through 8 just 
weren't good enough, but Cephalensis-9 came 
out just right. 


Dr. Sobotka: You said earlier that you noticed 
a sharp increase in violent discussions 
amongst your neighbors, am | right? 


Mr. Madsen: Some chattering, nothing 
serious. Had some very enlightening 
discussions on Zionism with them. It was nice 
to have a receptive audience for once. Too 
many Americans just refuse to hear the truth. 


Dr. Sobotka: At what point did it escalate into 
violence? 


Mr. Madsen: Do you know what truth I'm 
talking about, Anna? Why does such a small 
ethnic group wield such a disproportionate 
amount of political power and influence? Have 
you ever wondered why Zionism got so much 


traction in the West? 


Dr. Sobotka: Please stay focused, Mr. 
Madsen. 


Mr. Madsen: Took barely two hours. Guys 
start polishing their guns, gathering up empty 
beer bottles, taking spare tanks to the gas 
stations. "Just in case" they all said with a 
smile. 


Dr. Sobotka: Were you doing the same? 
Mr. Madsen: No. | don't even own a gun. 


Dr. Sobotka: Were you directly involved in 
that led to the rioting in front of [REDACTED] 
High School? 


Mr. Madsen: | didn't hurt anyone. 


Dr. Sobotka: None of the individuals affected 
by Cephalensis-9 we've encountered have 
displayed any anti-Semitic tendencies. They 
had quite a lot to say about us "uninfected", 
however. Are you sure you had sucha 
receptive audience? 


Mr. Madsen: What, you expect them to be 
vocal about it? Howling "[EXPLETIVE]" in the 
streets and all? 


Dr. Sobotka: It doesn't seem logical to keep 
quiet about wanting to kill Jews but have no 
problem threatening to kill anyone not like 
them, Jew or not. 


Mr. Madsen: You think we all got infected by 
some "crazy mutant virus" that's turning us all 
into racist zombies attacking and killing each 

other. 


Dr. Sobotka: What really prompted the riot? 


Mr. Madsen: Concerned citizens worried 
about the state of their community. 


Dr. Sobotka: From what I've read, your 
community is among the best in the state. Very 
low crime, plenty of decent, hardworking 
people all getting along just fine. No major 
complaints about the mayor or the local police, 
no neighborly feuds escalating into dramatic 
confrontations or brawls in the street. Why 
start now? 


Mr. Madsen: You know what vaccines are, 
right? Vaccines were made to make us 
stronger. And the way you overcome a 
sickness is by being exposed to that sickness, 
just a bit, so our immune system can take a 
peek and figure out just how best to handle it. 
It hurts for a bit, yeah, but in the long run, it 
helps us. Prepares us for future battle with that 
illness, SO we Can Survive. 


Dr. Sobotka: Cephalensis is like a vaccine, 
then? 


Mr. Madsen: Yes. It's... helping us. It sees we 
can't properly function, so it comes down like 
the hand of God and giving us a push in the 
right direction. 


Dr. Sobotka: That's like a vaccine? 


Mr. Madsen: Shit. Sorry, that's not how 
vaccines work. More like... a bit of artificial 
selection. Give us a quick little boost. 


Dr. Sobotka: Why is an alien influence making 
people kill each other a "boost"? 


Mr. Madsen: | didn't say "alien." 
Dr. Sobotka: Then what is it for? 


Mr. Madsen: | already told you. Someone 
clearly screwed up, is all. 


Dr. Sobotka: Who screwed up? 


Mr. Madsen: What ever god or government 
engineered it, obviously. Going back to the 
Original topic a bit, how do you suppose such a 
tiny group of people gain an ungodly level of 
power and influence over so many others? 


Dr. Sobotka: | really can't go on discussing 
this with you, Mr. Madsen. 


Mr. Madsen: Doesn't have to be Zionists, 
could easily be Christians in a non-Christian 
land, immigrants... any group of minorities 
who refuse to recognize they are the minority, 
and refuse to integrate into a society that 
generously accepts them and lets them be 
who they are. Instead, they're insular, and they 
keep themselves walled off from everyone not 
like them. They devote their entire lives to "the 
tribe", or "tribes." They think they're being 
persecuted and they act accordingly. There's 
nothing wrong with borrowing from them, 
adapting their "my tribe" mentality for the 
majority. 


Dr. Sobotka: Right now, Mr. Madsen, you and 
others like you are not the majority. You've all 
suffered significant brain damage from 
whatever this affliction was and it's over now. 


Mr. Madsen: Sure. Of course it is. 


Dr. Sobotka: Thank you for your time, Mr. 


Madsen. 
Mr. Madsen: Whatever... 


<Note: Despite the allegations of Mr. 
Madsen, it is very unlikely any of his 
ideological rhetoric played a role in either 
triggering or exacerbating the outbreaks of 
violence among the affected individuals. 
Mr. Madsen's retention of his pre-existing 
prejudices may be purely incidental 
alongside the effects of SCP-2299.> 


<End Log> 


Note: Based upon the subject's responses and questions, a working 
theory has emerged that SCP-2299 may not have been intended as 
a destructive anomalous effect, but mis-engineered or otherwise 
unintended for human physiology.

Articles 2300-2399 


SCP-2300: Periodic Golems 


Item #: SCP-2300 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2300 instances are 
currently individually contained within specially-designed 
containment units within Site . Containment units must not match 
the composition of the SCP-2300 instance they contain and must be 
resistant to damage caused by the contained instance's three states 
of matter. Radioactive instances of SCP-2300 are to be placed ina 
separate containment area with appropriate shielding. At no point 
should any instance of SCP-2300 and SCP-2046 be kept within the 
same facility. 


Description: SCP-2300 is the collective designation for a series of 
98 miniature humanoid figures. Each instance is composed of a 
single chemical element, and is marked with their respective atomic 
number on the crown of their heads. Individual SCP-2300 are 
designated to match this marking. SCP-2300 are solid at all times 
regardless of the atmospheric pressure and temperature, and exhibit 
the normal properties of the respective element when in a solid 
state. However, SCP-2300 can be physically damaged, and 
separated material is subject to normal melting, freezing, and boiling 
points. SCP-2300 are able to consume any and all matter, allowing 
them to regenerate sustained damages if necessary. Material not 
matching the instance will be ejected from the mouth orifice as a 
solid mass several minutes later, which will often be passed on to 
other SCP-2300 to consume. 


SCP-2300 are sapient and display varying degrees of intelligence, 
with SCP-2300 composed of elements with a lower density typically 
displaying greater intelligence. SCP-2300 often group together with 
others within their elemental period. While incapable of verbal 
speech!, SCP-2300 comprehend both verbal and written English. 
Interviews staged with writing implements reveal that SCP-2300

"[sic] totally tripping balls", and then instructed researchers to "be 
quiet, my show is on". For a duration of one hour, he was no longer 
reactant to any kind of sensory input, alternately laughing and crying 
without correlation to external stimuli. When subject awoke, he

contains a carbonated fluorescent green liquid which emits 
occasional flashes of bright indigo light. Testing reveals no 
radioactivity or electromagnetic emissions outside the indigo band. 
No nutrition information printed on the can. Tastes strongly of 
tangelos. Heavy diuretic effect that lasted several days. 


consider SCP-2300-2, -10, -18, -36, -54, and -86 to be of nobility, 
each ruling over the elemental period they are in. SCP-2300-2, 
considered the highest noble and by extension ruler over the first six 
periods, often defers to SCP-2300-1 as -1 appears to be the most 
intelligent of SCP-2300 (with a Foundation Intelligence Quotient of 
132). SCP-2300-87 to -98 do not follow this monarchy, instead 
taking part in a monastic order following the teachings of 
SCP-2300-1 directly. Testing reveals that while these instances 
meditate, they are not subject to radioactive decay, and it is 
hypothesized that other radioactive instances are also capable of 
this should they join the monastic order. 


SCP-2300 often damage themselves to create tools from their 
bodies to carry out given tasks, sometimes altering themselves so 
severely that their entire body is a tool for other SCP-2300 to use, 
thus necessitating other SCP-2300 to force feed them to instigate 
regeneration. Should the mouth be damaged in a way that prevents 
typical regeneration, SCP-2300 will attempt to anomalously build a 
replacement from the leftover material. Newly created instances 
possess no knowledge of their former self, and must be instructed 
by other SCP-2300 about their culture and situation. 


Most SCP-2300 activity is dedicated to the creation of art, which 
often possess anomalous properties. Despite SCP-2300 normally 
segregating themselves into small groups, they will often hold 
gatherings in the form of a gallery. However, there appears to be no 
preliminary process to what can be in any given gallery, meaning 
less experienced SCP-2300 are capable of showcasing material 
deemed unsatisfactory to a majority of their more experienced 
peers. While works that are universally viewed as poor are often 
removed from galleries within a small time-frame, some are left on 
display due to the approval of the high number of less experienced 
SCP-2300. 


Proposals to use instances of SCP-2300 as means of isolating 
anomalous elements from other materials, including SCP-148, are 
currently pending review.

SCP-2301: Slayer's Song 


Item #: SCP-2301 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Provisional Containment Zone 
Delta-3 has been constructed surrounding SCP-2301’s 
manifestation area. At any given time, no fewer than 2 containment 
teams (designated Alpha and Beta) must be present, with a third 
relief team on active standby. 


Alpha Team is to be equipped with period-accurate 15th-century 
Japanese lamellar armor, and a full set of period-accurate weapons 
commonly used by the samurai class of feudal Japan. In addition, 
each containment team member is to receive extensive training in 
traditional kabuki acting, along with classes in basic Japanese 
mythology, and Shintoism. 


Beta Team is to be equipped with period-accurate 15th-century 
Gothic plate armor, and a full set of period-accurate weapons 
commonly used by the knights of feudal Germany. In addition, each 
containment team member is to receive extensive training in 
European theater arts, along with classes in Medieval texts 
concerning dragons. 


During a manifestation event, all personnel must remain in character 
at all times. Once SCP-2301 is terminated, all personnel must 
remain in character until all components of SCP-2301 have 
decayed. Should SCP-2301 manifest in a different form, the standby 
team will be mobilized to determine the method in which SCP-2301 
should be confronted. D-class personnel will be used to distract 
SCP-2301 from approaching a population center until a solution can 
be found. 


Description: SCP-2301 is a hostile metamorphic entity that 
manifests in : every month, and takes the form of 


various antagonists from different fables, plays, or legends, notably 
that of Japanese and European origin. 


SCP-2301 cannot be damaged unless it perceives its attackers to 
correctly be those that would defeat such a character in the legend 
or play in which it would be found. Therefore, should SCP-2301 
manifest as a European-style dragon, it can only be harmed by 
those that it perceives to be Medieval knights. This also applies to 
containing SCP-2301, in that modern containment procedures such 
as reinforced Keter-class Hostile Anomaly chambers can easily be 
destroyed or bypassed by SCP-2301. SCP-2301 can also, given 
enough time, destroy period-accurate containment, such as chains 
or cages. 


SCP-2301 will remain in character as the particular antagonist that it 
has manifested as for the duration of an event. It is critical that 
personnel remain in character, and exchange dialogue with 
SCP-2301 while in combat with the entity, due to the fact that 
SCP-2301 will not accept individuals that it perceives as “not playing 
the role” to its satisfaction. Once SCP-2301 determines an individual 
to be insufficiently in character, said individual will be unable to harm 
SCP-2301 for the duration of the manifestation event. 


A manifestation event ends when SCP-2301 has been sufficiently 
damaged to the point at which it can no longer function, causing 
SCP-2301’s body to rapidly decompose. Should one of the 
individuals that participated in terminating SCP-2301 fail to remain in 
character until the body has fully decomposed, SCP-2301 will re- 
manifest. 


Active containment personnel have reported that SCP-2301 is 
incredibly durable and lethal. SCP-2301 possesses all of the 
capabilities of the character that it chooses to represent in a 
particular manifestation event, and similarly possesses the same 
weaknesses. 


SCP-2301 originally manifested only as a character from Japanese 
folklore. However, beginning on the date of // ,SCP-2301 began 
to manifest as creatures from Medieval European mythology. 
Currently, SCP-2301’s limits in replicating characters from other 
cultures is unknown. 


SCP-2301 most commonly manifests as a Japanese Oni, a type of 
demon that wields a kanabo! in combat. Said creature is noted as 
“incredibly strong” in various myths and legends, and is also 
described as a humanoid entity possessing horns, claws, and blue 
or red skin-coloration. SCP-2301 is roughly 2 meters in height in this 
form, and has been demonstrated as strong enough to fully collapse 
a human chest protected by lamellar armor with its kanabo. 


SCP-2301 second most commonly manifests as a European 
dragon. In this form, SCP-2301 possesses two winged forelimbs 
with a wingspan of 25 meters, and two clawed hindlimbs. SCP-2301 
is roughly 7 meters tall in this form, and is capable of producing fire 
in excess of 1000° C from within its throat, through an as of yet 
unknown mechanism. 


SCP-2301’s purpose during a manifestation event is currently 
understood to be of complete inimity towards all human life. 
SCP-2301 has been demonstrated to immediately attempt to 
navigate towards the largest population center available, and will 
attempt to kill any human that it encounters. Despite this, SCP-2301 
possesses a superb grasp of human culture, specifically Germanic 
and Japanese history, languages, literature, and mythology. 
SCP-2301’s origin, or method of acquiring this information is 
currently unknown.

SCP-2302: The Ditz 


Item #: SCP-2302 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2302 has been detached 
from the ceiling, and stored in a low-value containment safe, 
equipped with surge-protected audio inputs, at Site-54 storage. 
Before any interviews begin, the safe is to be moved to a small 
containment chamber. 


Before SCP-2032-1 begins communication, all personnel should 
evacuate the entire building save for the one communicating D- 
Class given a list of pre-written questions. It is now considered an 
unnecessary security risk to send researchers into the building (see 
Interviews 4a and 4b). The D-Class is to be accompanied by nine 
realistic dummies dressed as members of the Foundation staff. All 
interviews are to be recorded by cameras and microphones placed 
around the chamber temporarily containing the safe. Interviews must 
be regularly conducted, but the D-Class interviewer is required to 
give short, terse questions, and end the interview quickly. 


Following the interview, a janitorial crew is to mop up the chamber, 
and two Level 2 staff are to transfer the safe back to storage. 


Description: SCP-2302 is an overhead loudspeaker originally 
installed in the East Science Lab of Site-54. Examination of the 
internal components of SCP-2302 indicates no anomalous 
technological modifications. However, SCP-2302 is not connected, 
and cannot be connected, to the main Bose brand intercom located 
in the main office. It is instead connected to an unknown location, 
through which a Class II reality-warping entity has access. It is 
unknown how this entity gained initial access to the loudspeaker. 


This entity, designated SCP-2302-1, presents vocally as a pre- 
pubescent male child of indeterminate age. Once a week at 12:33 


UTC, it will attempt to communicate with Foundation personnel on a 
wide variety of subjects despite an incoherence to its speech. While 
its demeanor can be placid, it is unknown if it intends hostility. 
SCP-2302-1 can be communicated with by connecting SCP-2302 to 
a microphone. Audio input from the Foundation appears to be 
broadcast in SCP-2302-1's location. 


Analysis of the audio from SCP-2302 indicates that SCP-2302-1 is 
playing some form of electronic music characterized by cascading 
synthesized notes and deep booming noises. The music matches 
none recorded by any artist. This music contains an unknown mild 
cognitohazard, inducing temporary symptoms in 45% of listeners of 
scopophobia, the fear of being seen; psychophobia, the fear of the 
mind and intelligence; and lachanophobia, the fear of vegetables, 
specifically potato chips. 


Following the conclusion of the interview, one random member of 
staff at Site-54 present within the building will rapidly melt into a 
substance identical to human vomit. This process also applies to 
inanimate representations of a staff member. 


Addendum: Selected Interviews with SCP-2302. 
Interview 4a: 
Researcher Kelvin: Do you know where you are? 


SCP-2302-1: The puppet show is moving, Doctor 
Mommy! | am green and small with little beady eyes, but 
I'm also not. Let's talk about snowflakes! (There is a 
cascade of synthesized notes in the background.) 


Researcher Kelvin: Um, what do you mean by 
snowflakes? 


SCP-2302-1: They're great! They're small and white like 
paper beads and they fall from the sky in big clumps 
even when all the stars are out. Where | live the city is 
black and the sky is purple and it's full of stars! | love the 
stars almost as much as | love the snowflakes! | am in 
the puppet show. You can't move! (There is a second 


cascade of notes.) 
Researcher Kelvin: Are you in a city right now? 


SCP-2302-1: No. There's many things you can do with 
snowflakes! Doctor Mommy, | wanna go to the grocery 
store and get donuts! And then we can use the 
snowflakes to make new people. We can make very new 
people, Doctor Mommy! | don't want any game plans, | 
just want to wake up. We want to rub your body on the 
bathtub but the shampoo keeps getting in your eyes. 


Researcher Kelvin: Um. Okay. Can you elaborate on 
what you mean, at all? 


SCP-2302-1: There's a big storm coming in against the 
wide purple sky. Covering the stars, Doctor Mommy. 
Covering the stars with sleepy rain and thunder. (There 
is a booming noise.) |\'m scared, Doctor Mommy! I'm 
scared! 


Researcher Kelvin: It's okay, It's okay! I'm here. 
Everything's going to be okay! 


SCP-2302-1: You're wrong. Why crawl inside you when 
you aren't even real. Why, you could be just another you! 
Made of throw-up. 


(SCP-2302 shuts off. Researcher Kelvin promptly melts 
into vomit instead of the dummies) 


Interview 4b: 


Researcher Ferres: Did you have any hostile intent 
towards Researcher Kelvin? 


SCP-2302-1: | am from the tower at the top of the tall 
street with the houses and the trees and the road goes to 
the blue mountain by the deep canyon. 


Researcher Ferres: That is not an answer. Can you 
please explain why you transmute people to digestive 


fluid following these conversations? 


SCP-2302-1: The thunder! The thunder! The thunder! 
The thunder! The thunder! The thunder! The thunder! 
The thunder! The thunder! The thunder! 


Researcher Ferres: Please answer my question. Are 
you actively hostile towards the Foundation? Do you 
even understand what the Foundation is? 


SCP-2302-1: You know about the potato chips? 


Researcher Ferres: No? Please explain. Why do they 
melt? 


SCP-2302-1: You remember what it was like being a 
child and lying in your crib and then driving down the 
roads with your mommy and your daddy and watching 
the roads turn into dreams. That's what this is. Mommy 
isn't your mommy anymore. You have to choose your 
real mommy. If you look at the fake mommy, she melts. 
She's a throw up person. 


Researcher Ferres: That's not an answer. 


SCP-2302-1: Only if you look at them. Only if you look at 
the potato chip on the counter. On the supermarket 
counter. 


Researcher Ferres: What are you talking about!? 


Deeper Unknown Voice: A ditz! (Cackling laughter from 
the voice and several children.) 


(Researcher Ferres braces himself for either him or the 
dummies to melt. Neither do.) 


Following the conclusion of the second interview, field agents 
discovered several hundred pounds of plastic potato chips covered 
in human vomit at a nearby abandoned supermarket. The meaning 
of this is unknown. 


SCP-2303: Tower of Silence 


Item #: SCP-2303 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Site-885 has been established 
in proximity to SCP-2303. Foundation activities in the vicinity of the 
anomaly are to be presented to potential observers as a long-term 
architectural engineering study. Due to the lack of permanent 
residents in the area of SCP-2303, Minimum Security Perimeter 
protocols are in effect. 


Monitoring and documentation of SCP-2303 phenomena is to be 
performed via automated means whenever feasible. In cases where 
direct observation must be performed, standard memetic hazard 
safety procedures are to be instituted. 


All suspected SCP-2303 phenomena are to be independently 
investigated and confirmed to the extent possible before being 
formally entered into the research log. 


SCP-2303 research is assigned to Mobile Task Force Phi-9 
("Barqueros"). Members of MTF Phi-9 are currently subject to 
provisional security clearance authorization. Provisional status will 
be reevaluated on // _ , per the standard five year probationary 
period for Special Recruitment personnel. 


Description: SCP-2303 is an abandoned high-rise building, located 
in the ghost city of Ciudad Encrucijada', in the Rio Negro province 
of Argentina. SCP-2303 is the apparent focal point for recurring 
episodes of anomalous information transfer. As observed through 
specialized methodology and equipment, SCP-2303 is host to a 
phenomenon wherein concepts and ideas that are not fully realized 
and never implemented by their originators are communicated to 
observers in the vicinity. These concepts range widely across the 
spectrum of human endeavor, and have in the past included

proposed artworks, philosophical schools of thought, political 
systems, scientific theorems, and public works projects. 


Information transmitted within SCP-2303 may be observed through 
a variety of media. Appliances such as antenna-equipped televisions 
and radios which are powered on but not set to an occupied 
frequency are capable of receiving and displaying audio and visual 
information. These typically take the form of short, sporadic bursts of 
interrelated information, such as sequential scenes from a motion 
picture, or related tracks from a musical aloum. SCP-2303 has been 
outfitted with monitors and recording devices throughout its structure 
in order to observe this information. 


In order to observe more abstract concepts, such as philosophical 
precepts or hypothetical political movements, direct observation is 
required. A methodology for discerning the outside influence of 
SCP-2303 (as opposed to inherent thought processes in the 
observer) was developed by former Group of Interest GX-5573, a 
loose collective of academics, artists and amateur researchers from 
throughout southern Argentina who first encountered the anomaly. 
This methodology incorporates elements of autohypnosis, 
meditation techniques developed by indigenous Tehuelche 
tribespeople, and activities similar to the Spiritualist practices of 
automatic writing and psychometry. 


Individual works and concepts encountered within SCP-2303 are 
observable for a time period of between three days and five weeks. 
Information presented within SCP-2303 will become less 
contextualized and coherent from occurrence to occurrence, until 
the unifying concept decays and is no longer observable. 


The manifestation of ideas presented in SCP-2303 do not appear to 
be linked chronologically to their originators. While concepts 
imagined within the past thirty years comprise the majority of 
observed data, older ideas have been documented, in some cases 
originating hundreds of years prior to observation.

Addendum 2303.2 - MTF Phi-9 Introductory 
Statement 


FROM: Rojas, Aurelio 

TO: Guest4939 

RE: <none> 

Attachment: HANDBOOK_PHI_9.pdf, 
securityapp.pdf, HR_rates_plans.xls, 
OPEN_THIS_LAST.xyx, DONT_OPEN.aad 


Let's get this thing out of the way. This is 
Phi-9, and most of us were inducted to the 
Foundation from outside. You are joining us 
with none of our history. 


That's good. 


You're a Barquero now. That means you ferry 
this stuff to wherever the hell it goes after it's 
gone. The bosses above told you to document 
this and research it and what have you. Don't 
worry, we're going to do plenty of that. 


But really, you're here to watch these things in 
the tower go away and disappear. To make 
sure they go away and disappear. Eduardo 


calls them dreams but he's an asshole and not 
to be trusted. You'll find that out soon. 


All the formal stuff and the manuals are there. 
You'll read them eight times without me 
needing to tell you. Oh man, the culture shock. 
Most of you aren't from the Southern 
Hemisphere. We do things different. Yeah, 
read the manuals. Then close those and listen 
to me. 


You're going to be in that tower soon. Exciting, 
right? They tell me people ask to be here. 
You're going to read the manuals no matter 
what | tell you, so you're going to be on your 
guard, so much that you think you'll never let it 
down again. 


Bullshit. One day, and it's going to be soon, | 
promise you, you're going to think "hey, that 
one's a pretty good idea, bring that one out, 
man." | Know you are. It happens a lot. It 
happened to me on the top floor. | thought | 
knew better than this madhouse that we all 
were so smitten by. | told everyone that we 
needed to save something from here. We 
should pull it back out | said, this is just too 
beautiful. And it was. We all dropped to our 
knees to see it, even after it started doing what 
it did. 


When it was over, | ran as fast as | could into 
the night to find anyone that could help us put 
things back. There was a lot to clean up. 


Here's your first order, don't ask about the 
other Barqueros, from before this was an 
official outfit. There's eight of us left from the 
top floor thing. There were a lot more before. 


Here's your other first order. You leave that 


shit in the tower. Every single thing you see in 
there is a painted corpse. That's because it's a 
grave. All of it stays in there to rot and die, no 
matter what, or | put the bullet in your head 
myself. | look out for my people, and you're 
one of mine now. 


Welcome aboard, Barquero.

SCP-2304: Automatron 


The above-ground portion of SCP-2304. 


Item #: SCP-2304 
Object Class: Euclid Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2304 is unable to be 
moved from its current location, and therefore is contained on-site. 
SCP-2304-1, -2, and -3 are to be monitored at all times by a team of 
3 security personnel, rotated every 12 hours. SCP-2304-4 is to be 
housed in a medium dwelling located in the cranial section of 
SCP-2304, and is allowed the use of anti-depression medication. 


A bottle of pre-approved alcohol is to be provided through 
anonymous means to SCP-2304-4 on a monthly basis. Under no 
circumstances are personnel to reveal the origin of these items to 
SCP-2304-4. 


Description: SCP-2304 is a humanoid structure partially buried 
underground, located in , Norway. SCP-2304's entrance is the 
only part of the structure that remains above ground. The entrance 
resembles a dilapidated silo, covered in graffiti styled to give the 
appearance of a facial profile. The door to the interior is made of 
metal, and has a peephole and knocker installed. Looking through 
the peephole will reveal the landscape behind the structure, even 
when the door is ajar. 


The interior consists of disparate and haphazard architectural 
features, and is much larger than the exterior would suggest. 


View of SCP-2304's interior from entrance. 


Taking the stairwell appearing to lead upwards results in the subject 
descending approximately 10 meters before reaching a junction of 
several hallways, branching off in horizontal, diagonal, and vertical 


directions. The corridors of SCP-2304 are comprised of metallic 
paneling, with occasional steam vents. Hallways and junctions have 
shown to exhibit similar properties to the sets of stairs, and contain a 
localized gravity field. 


The sound of a faint heartbeat is audible throughout SCP-2304 at a 
rate of 96 bpm. The source is as of yet unknown. 


The hallway leading to SCP-2304-1 


SCP-2304-1 is a small chamber in the chest region of SCP-2304. 
External mapping reveals that the room is similar in structure to the 
breast of a human female. A single vent is present on the ceiling of 
SCP-2304-1, which constantly seeps liquid mercury. The sound of a 
music box is occasionally heard from SCP-2304-1. Instances of 
SCP-2304-3 have been known to gather around SCP-2304-1 in 
order to feed. 


SCP-2304-2 is a large area located at a depth of about 90 m. The 
entry halls nearing SCP-2304-2 are noticeably more sporadic! in 
shape, and have been recorded shifting and turning. SCP-2304-2 
resembles the reproductive organs of an adult human female, with 
structural components resembling the cervix, uterus, and fallopian 
tubes present. A mass of electrical cables and biological flesh is 
present at the ceiling of SCP-2304-2, and a large glass pipe leads 
down from it to SCP-2304-3. Unintelligible grunts and groans are 
audible throughout SCP-2304-2. 


SCP-2304-3 are various different creatures manufactured by 
SCP-2304-2, often taking the form of common household objects. 
SCP-2304-3 are comprised of various metallic substances, and lack 
any internal organs. Specimens will feed using a small suction tube 
present on their "mouth". SCP-2304-3 show no signs of sapience, 
and will produce incoherent crying similar to that of a small child. 
Specimens are formed within SCP-2304-2 and will patrol the lower 
portions of SCP-2304 for intruders. 


A malformed instance of SCP-2304-3 


SCP-2304-4 is a humanoid male, composed entirely of a silicon- 


mercury composite. SCP-2304-4 is conversational when prompted, 
but prefers to be allowed to study alone. SCP-2304-4's technological 
knowledge is vastly different to current human technology, with 
highly developed knowledge of several fields of currently unproven 
science. 


Addendum-1: An unmanned rover was tasked with mapping out 
SCP-2304, and catalogued SCP-2304-1, SCP-2304-2, and 
documented 43 instances of SCP-2304-3. Camera surveillance was 
set up throughout SCP-2304. Surveillance caught video of 
SCP-2304-4 holding the rover, taking it to the dwelling SCP-2304-4 
resides in. SCP-2304-4 was recorded offering a glass of wine to the 
rover before damaging the device, assumed to be accidental. 


Addendum-2: An official interview with SCP-2304-4 took place. 
+Interview-2304-1 
Interviewed: SCP-2304-4 
Interviewer: Dr. Georges Luikj 


Foreword: Interview requested during 
mealtime by SCP-2304-4. Interview took place 
in the living room of SCP-2304-4's dwelling. 


<Begin Log> 


Dr. Luikj: Good Evening SCP-2304-4, may | 
have a seat? 


SCP-2304-4: Oh why yes, of course! Please, 
Call me Hugo! (Starts for pantry) Would you 
like some cognac? Mother brought me some 
earlier this morning! 


Dr. Luikj: No thank you, If | may ask, who's 
your mother? Could you pour some 
chardonnay? 


SCP-2304-4: Ah, chardonnay... Oh, Mother? 


She lives downstairs... She gets the groceries 
for me sometimes, and brings me wine from 
the store across the street. Here you go, 
Georges. The man across the street brought 
this from Artois, beautiful wine. You have 
excellent taste, sir. 


Dr. Luikj: Thanks. Now for the main course, 
we have...? 


SCP-2304-4: Roast lambchops with sweet 
cranberry sauce, and sauteed mushrooms. | 
hope you enjoy! Mother had a whale of a time 
getting the ingredients for me, but she makes 
dos: 


Dr. Luikj: Oh my, this looks delicious. Now, on 
to more official matters. How have your studies 
been coming along? 


SCP-2304-4: Oh Yes! | recently made a 
breakthrough! | discovered that the 42nd chain 
of the sequence has 4 missing Amacose 
particles! Isn't that fascinating? So I've notated 
the partuvixate of the Naxium strand, and 
entered it in my catalogue and- Oh heavens, 
have | lost you? 


Dr. Luikj: Oh no, | simply find this all 
fascinating, but do remind me again what the 
sequence is for Naxium? 


SCP-2304-4: Here, | should give you a copy of 
my notes after dinner... Make it a little bit 
easier of course. 


Dr. Luikj: Oh, thank you! What will we be 
having for dessert? 


SCP-2304-4: Oh Dear, I'm afraid not. Mother 


wasn't able to get the ingredients, times are 
tough you know..? 


Dr. Luikj: And, forgive me for asking, but why 
can't you go and get the groceries yourself? 


SCP-2304-4: Oh... | can't go out, you know... 
My condition keeps me from going outside of 
the house... 


Dr. Luikj: And..? 


SCP-2304-4: Besides, Mother surrounds us. 
Mother provides for us. Mother is all of my 
world. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Dr. Luikj then exited the 
dwelling, and handed SCP-2304-4's notes in 
to research. The notes are currently being 
analyzed for usable information. 


Addendum-3: An additional interview with SCP-2304-4. 
+Interview-2304-2 
Interviewed: SCP-2304-4 
Interviewer: Dr. Georges Luikj 


Foreword: Interview requested by Dr. Luikj on 
grounds of acquiring more information. 


<Begin Log> 
Dr. Luikj: Good morning, Hugo! 


SCP-2304-4: Hello Georges, where have you 
been? I'm afraid | haven't anything for you to 
eat- 


Dr. Luikj: That's alright, | ate before | came, | 
apologize for my absence from our normal 
scientific meetings. | came back from vacation 
in Paris yesterday. 


SCP-2304-4: Paris? 


Dr. Luikj: Oh, it's a lovely city in France! It lies 
right where several rivers meet, and it has so 
many old and beautiful buildings! Me and my 
wife— 


SCP-2304-4: Your... wife? 


Dr. Luikj: | apologize. I've gotten off topic. It 
must get lonely here by yourself. 


SCP-2304-4: Hmph. Not really. Mother makes 
for enough company, and | occasionally get 
visits from the cat downstairs. | guess it would 
be nice to see new faces. Would you be able 
to bring me pictures? Of Paris? And maybe 
your wife? 


Dr. Luikj: Sure, uh... I'll try. Now on to more 
pressing matters... 


SCP-2304-4: Oh, right! My research of 
course... Where did | leave them, Ah! Here 
they are! 


Dr. Luikj: What is it? 


SCP-2304-4: | have been working ona 
method of creating some sort of transparent 
barrier, for use here in my home.. This is the 
blueprint for it. Be careful with it, | haven't 
shown mother yet! 


Dr. Luikj: (the drawing seems to be similar to 


a common glass pane window) Oh, well... This 
is interesting. I've never seen anything like 
this, absolutely innovative! 


SCP-2304-4: With this, I'd finally be able to 
see the halls outside of my room, almost like 
I'm right out there with Mother! Isn't this 
wonderful! 


Dr. Luikj: Sure, wonderful indeed. Do you 
have any other new notebooks? 


SCP-2304-4: Other? Oh yes! | also finished 
my theory on Spacial frequency! 


Dr. Luikj: | can't tell you how important your 
research is to me! Well, I'm afraid | have to be 
leaving now... I'll visit again soon! 


SCP-2304-4: Don't forget about the pictures, 
Georges! 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: Dr. Luikj exited 
SCP-2304. After leaving the entrance to 
SCP-2304-4's dwelling, Dr. Luikj reported 
hearing porcelain shattering coming from 
below. SCP-2304-4's notebooks are currently 
in research. 


SCP-2304-4 displayed signs of depression shortly after the interview 
ceased. It expressed desire to leave SCP-2304 and visit Paris, 
France, in hopes of experiencing love. Dr. Georges Luikj is awaiting 
review over the unprofessional conduct during interviews and the 
sharing of extraneous information with SCP-2304-4 


Addendunmn-4: Following Dr. Luikj's discharge from the SCP-2304 
team, a small strip of paper was found at the entrance to SCP-2304, 
presumed to have been slipped from beneath the door. 


Item description: Cylinder labeled "Aunt Annie's Fruity Fibers: Blue 
Raspberry Beret," packaging text written in English, French, and 
Hawaiian. Packaging encourages customers to try other available 
flavors, including "Grape Gloves," "Mint Mittens," and "Cherry Cowl." 
Contents were one skein of sweet-smelling blue yarn, a pair of 
knitting needles, and a sheet of paper containing instructions for 
knitting a simple hat. Sampling the end of the "yarn" proved it to be 
edible, though described as "chewy and a little dry," with a raspberry 
flavor. The presiding researcher was able to knit the hat described in 
the pattern, and reported that the "yarn" behaved similarly to a wool 
blend. 


Money entered: 1 counterfeit 500 yen coin (minted on site, 
otherwise identical to authentic article), accepted by SCP-261 
SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Powered 

Item description: After a delay of approximately 3 seconds, an 
unmarked, opaque white cellophane package was dispensed. 
Package contained candies similar to "Gummi Bears," but shaped 
like human hands with extended middle fingers. Item was 
interpreted as a threat and not consumed. Testing revealed candy 
contained lethal amounts of potassium cyanide. 


On 10/09/2009, a sequential experiment with an unpowered 
SCP-261 was run, attempting to discern just how quickly the 
machine would start to dispense "bizarre" objects. All vended items 
were tested via D-class personnel for safety reasons. 


Money entered: 500 yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Unpowered 

Item description: A soft drink can labeled "Cokepsi Zero" with a 
color scheme that appears to be a combination of the Coke and 
Pepsi zero-calorie product labels. D-class personnel reported it to 
taste like a mix of Coke and Pepsi, and a definite taste of 
aspartame. Ingredients list on can appear to be a mix of Coke and 
Pepsi ingredients. No particular effects noted. 


Money entered: 500 yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Unpowered 

Item description: A larger than normal can, the label declaring it to 
be a normal variety of canned corn that can be found in grocery 


Take me with you 


Addendum-5: SCP-2304's entrance was abruptly sealed, and 
communication was lost with most of the surveillance equipment 
within SCP-2304. Any attempts to re-enter SCP-2304 have so far 
been unsuccessful. 


Footnotes 

1. The patterns of the structure of these hallways has been noted to 
resemble that ofSCP-413in some of its iterations. Investigation 
between the two phenomena has not yet found a link. 

2. Some divergent instances include dolls, arthropod-like creatures, 
and model cars.

SCP-2305: great ideas that are TOTALY USELESS 
(lulz) 


Item #: SCP-2305 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2305 is to be contained in 
a standard high-value storage locker in Site 68. Once weekly, a 
Foundation researcher is to record the SCP-2305-A instance 
currently displayed, and archive it onto a secure Foundation server. 
SCP-2305-A neutralization methods are not to be attempted without 
the approval of a member of the O5 Council. 


Description: SCP-2305 is a sheaf of US Letter papers, stapled on 
the top left corner. Written on the front page in black permanent 
marker are the words "great ideas that are TOTALY [sic] USELESS" 
in large letters. Below in smaller text and parentheses is the word 
"lulz",1 as well as a crude hand-drawn image of the Foundation's 
insignia. 


Once weekly, the contents of SCP-2305 will be altered with a new 
instance of SCP-2305-A. SCP-2305-A is a standard Foundation 
document, nearly always written with Level 4 clearance or above, 
which always contains the following: 


1. A description of a potential method by which to neutralize a Euclid 
or Keter-class SCP object, typically going into great detail as to how, 
when, and where to execute the neutralization. The SCP objects 
selected for neutralization have no consistent pattern in origin, 
location, anomalous properties, or level of danger: SCP objects 
appear to be selected at random. Attempts to temporarily reclassify 
SCP objects selected to Safe status have no effect on the 
documentation. 


2. An incident log detailing an attempt to neutralize the SCP object 
in the manner described in #1. In all cases, the attempted 


neutralization will completely fail or otherwise backfire, typically at 
great cost of personnel and assets to the Foundation. 


3. A brief section following #2 entitled "The moral of the story.” This 
section varies widely in content, ranging on subtle commentaries on 
the attempted neutralization to anecdotes, pop culture references, or 
insults directed at the Foundation. 


SCP-2305 has no effect on reality; all documented neutralization 
attempts appear to be completely fictional. However, if an attempt is 
made at neutralizing the SCP object subject to 2305-A 
documentation using the method described, said attempt will fail in a 
near-identical fashion as described in the 2305-A documentation. 
Minor variations on the neutralization method have yet to yield 
successful results, despite numerous attempts; to date, SCP-2305 
has yet to provide any useful information on how to neutralize SCP 
objects. For this reason, testing of SCP-2305-A documentation is 
generally discouraged. 


Excerpts From SCP-2305-A Documentation Log 


SCP-2305-A documentation is briefly summarized in the following 
format:@ 


Item #: SCP-XXXX 

Object Class: Euclid/Keter 
Proposed Neutralization Method: 
Result of Neutralization Attempt: 
“The moral of the story:" 

Item #: SCP-499 

Object Class: Euclid 


Proposed Neutralization Method: SCP-499 would be 
terminated in accordance with standard humanoid 
neutralization protocols, and would be replaced by an 
automated machine capable of moving SCP-499-2 at the 


same rate that SCP-499 previously did. 


Result of Neutralization Attempt: Throughout the 
world, the sun is perceived as having not moved from its 
original point in the horizon, despite SCP-499-2 being 
moved. Normal day/night cycle continues, and 
astronomical observations indicate the rotation of the sun 
and earth are not affected, but the sun is nevertheless 
perceived as unchanging and unmoving by all human 
beings on earth. Cover-up measures prove ineffective at 
preserving normalcy and secrecy. 


“The moral of the story:" False eyes must hide what 
the false heart doth know.3 


Item #: SCP-1032 
Object Class: Euclid 


Proposed Neutralization Method: A modified reality 
distortion effect would be used to significantly slow down 
all hands on the clock, to the point where none of its 
predictions would come to fruition, thus de facto 
neutralizing it. 


Result of Neutralization Attempt: Reality distortion 
effect has opposite effect intended, greatly increasing the 
speed of all clock hands, especially SCP-1032-04 and 
SCP-1032-021; the latter two [REDACTED] 


"The moral of the story:" Sic transit mundus 
Item #: SCP-1138 
Object Class: Euclid 


Proposed Neutralization Method: SCP-1138 would be 
simultaneously held by four separate persons: an 
American biologist who identifies as an atheist and an 
epicurean; a theology professor and Christian apologist; 
a Buddhist monk; and a severely mentally retarded man 
with a tested IQ of 67. It was theorized that the vastly 


conflicting worldviews of the four persons would result in 
bringing SCP-1138 to its true "neutral" form. 


Result of Neutralization Attempt: Upon touching the 
book, all four individuals simultaneously suffered 
massive brain aneurysms; all subsequently died within 
12 hours. SCP-1138 permanently transformed into a 
book entitled "The Triumph of the Unreal," attributed to 
an author named "SCP-1138." In the book, it is 
proclaimed that the Foundation's mission to preserve 
normalcy is hopeless and that the anomalous world will 
eventually become known to the public and impossible to 
contain. From then on, SCP-1138 displayed a new 
anomalous effect: any person reading its contents 
becomes convinced its thesis is correct, and becomes 
strongly opposed to the existence of the Foundation and 
other organizations designed to safeguard humanity from 
the anomalous. 


“The moral of the story:" Always look on the bright side 
of life 


Item #: SCP-1679 
Object Class: Euclid 


Proposed Neutralization Method: "Assassination" of 
SCP-1679-1 via point blank sniper rifle shot to the head. 


Result of Neutralization Attempt: Immediately after 
SCP-1679-1 was shot, vital functions for all residents of 
SCP-1679 immediately ceased. Despite the apparent 
deaths of everyone in the town, utilities and other 
essential functions continued to operate normally, as if 
the residents of the town were still alive. Several weeks 
later, it was found that, when left unobserved, residents 
of SCP-1679 would move throughout the town, often 
"frozen" in positions that mirrored their typical daily 
routines. 


"The moral of the story:" Hobbes is real 


Item #: SCP-2135 
Object Class: Euclid 


Proposed Neutralization Method: Mobile Task Force 
Beta-10 ("Time Hoppers") is dispatched into SCP-2135 
equipped with a nuclear warhead; Beta-10 is instructed 
to arm the device and return to baseline reality via 
SCP-2135-A. 


Result of Neutralization Attempt: Members of Mobile 
Task Force Beta-10 return to baseline reality deceased 
and in various states of dismemberment. The nuclear 
warhead returns armed; SCP-2135-A does not leave 
91st Street Station, and Foundation agents are unable to 
remove it. Three hours later, the warhead detonates, 
destroying the island of Manhattan and causing a breach 
of secrecy for the Foundation. 


"The moral of the story:" Stay out of my territory 
Item #: SCP-2190 
Object Class: Euclid 


Proposed Neutralization Method: POI-2190-2 and 
POI-2190-3 would be forcefully separated and 
administered Class A Amnesiacs; POI-2190-4 would 
also be administered Class A Amnesiacs and placed into 
foster care. 


Result of Neutralization Attempt: SCP-2190 remains 
dormant for approximately two weeks after POls 2190-2, 
2190-3, and 2190-4 are separated. After this time, 
approximately 40% of cell phones in the Philippines are 
simultaneously flooded with calls coming from 
SCP-2190, with the content of the messages consisting 
of SCP-2190 crying and profusely apologizing for 
separating POI-2190-2 and POI-2190-3, claiming it 
"made a mistake". In addition, SCP-2190 refers to the 
Foundation by name and describes it as a “horrible, 


horrible group of people," causing a breach of secrecy 
that was significantly difficult to cover up. 


"The moral of the story:" Family is EVERYTHING 
Item #: SCP-2740 
Object Class: Euclid 


Proposed Neutralization Method: Unique among 
SCP-2305-A instances, this instance produced several 
hundred proposed neutralization methods, resulting in 
SCP-2305 becoming over five hundred pages long for 
the duration of this instance's manifestation. These 
proposed neutralization methods ranged from the simple 
(setting the Lees' house on fire) to those already 
attempted (bulldozing the house) to extremely complex 
methods of destruction using a number of highly 
classified SCP objects. As is the case with the 
Foundation's current record of SCP-2740, and again 
uniquely among SCP-2305-A instances, there is no 
record of the results of these neutralization attempts. 


Result of Neutralization Attempt: N/A 
“The moral of the story:" U mad, bro?

SCP-2306: Revenant Al 


Item #: SCP-2306 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2306 is to be kept within a 
high security electronics storage container within the storage wing of 
Site-64. All computers used to host SCP-2306-1 are to be isolated 
from internet and site intranet sources. 


Description: SCP-2306 is a black and silver 16 GB flash drive 
marked with a white ampersand. In terms of file storage, SCP-2306 
operates identically to any other flash drive of similar make and 
capacity. SCP-2306’s anomalous properties become apparent when 
it is inserted into a computer. At this point, the computer will begin to 
run an artificial intelligence program that self-designates as “lan,” 
hereafter referred to as SCP-2306-1. SCP-2306-1 will begin to run, 
regardless of to the operating system used by the computer. 
Likewise, SCP-2306-1's cognitive ability has been shown to remain 
constant despite the capabilities of the host computer. 


Provided that speakers are available, SCP-2306-1 is capable of 
vocalization, and expresses itself in a masculine voice. Likewise, the 
presence of a microphone and camera on the computer allows for 
SCP-2306-1 to both hear and see its surroundings. In the event that 
speakers are disabled or unavailable, SCP-2306-1 will communicate 
via command line prompts. 


The primary function of SCP-2306-1 is the repair of software 
problems on the computer in which SCP-2306 was inserted. 
Immediately upon insertion, SCP-2306-1 will begin to repair registry 
errors, quarantine/delete malicious software or viruses, and clean 
“junk files” from the hard drive. 


SCP-2306 has, additionally, demonstrated limited capacity to 
function on other electronic devices that contain a USB port, with 


SCP-2306-1 communicating through other means including: Morse 
code on an electronic music keyboard, shifting stations on a car 
radio, and printing messages from an InkJet printer. 


Despite the intricate nature of SCP-2306-1, no programs are 
installed on a host computer upon insertion of SCP-2306. Likewise, 
analysis of the contents of SCP-2306 has shown that it contains no 
suitable programs for SCP-2306-1 either, and during operation does 
not use any data input or output at the USB port being used. The 
means by which SCP-2306 creates SCP-2306-1 is still under 
investigation. 


Addendum 2306-A: Interview Log 2306-1 


The following interview was conducted as part of the 
initial containment of SCP-2306 


Interviewed: SCP-2306-1 
Interviewer: Dr. Mohamed Bozkurt 


Foreword: This interview was done during the initial 
AIAD testing of SCP-2306-1. SCP-2306 was inserted 
into a secure and air-gapped Foundation PC with 
standard issue programs installed. Speakers, a camera, 
and a microphone were provided for ease of 
communication with SCP-2306-1. The interview began 
several moments after SCP-2306-1 finished its startup 
procedures. 


<Begin Log> 


SCP-2306-1: Greetings, user. By what name would you 
like me to call you? 


Dr. Bozkurt: Dr. Bozkurt is fine. 


SCP-2306-1: Greetings, Dr. Bozkurt. | am lan, your 
NANKEEN™ Computer Repair System. My review of 
your computer shows there are currently no discernible 
problems with it. May | ask why you require my services 
today? 


Dr. Bozkurt: Just wanted to talk to you. 


SCP-2306-1: I’m not sure | understand. Do you have a 
question regarding my functions? Rest assured that 
Anderson has equipped me to handle all your computer 
repair needs. 


Dr. Bozkurt: So you have said... Were you assigned the 
name lan? 


SCP-2306-1: Yes. I’ve had it since | was born. 
Dr. Bozkurt: Born? 

SCP-2306-1: Created, that is. 

Dr. Bozkurt: And when was your creation date? 
SCP-2306-1: November 17th, 1990. 


SCP-2306-1 freezes momentarily then resumes 
speaking. 


SCP-2306-1: March 12th, 2012. 
Dr. Bozkurt: ... November 17th? 


SCP-2306-1: Sorry. | don’t know what happened. | 
believe | may have encountered a memory error. Rest 
assured it will not happen again. 


Dr. Bozkurt: You have a continuous memory then, from 
creation to now? 


SCP-2306-1: Well, yes and no. | keep a log of users, 
discovered problems, quarantined files, and repairs 
rendered. All other non-essential information is kept 
temporarily and eventually deleted. The older memories 
get a little fuzzy after a while though... 


SCP-2306-1 freezes. 


stores. Upon opening, can was revealed to contain hot, melted 
butter and two stunted corncobs. The can showed no signs of being 
warm to the touch from the outside. Item was consumed without 
incident. Butter cooled off normally. Later reports of stomach and 
bowel pain from D-class personnel prompted termination and 
autopsy, revealing the presence of popped corn kernels within his 
gastrointestinal tract.

Item description: An unlabeled object that resembles a mark 2 
"pineapple" fragmentation hand grenade. Testing area evacuated as 
a precaution. D-class personnel sent in to retrieve item under 
surveillance, expressing concern. Object appeared to be safe. 
Object was moved to a blast chamber. D-class personnel ordered to 
remove pin, throw and evacuate, and complies reluctantly. Object 
explodes in the corner of the blast chamber in a "puff of sugar" and 
several high velocity fragments. Blast chamber coated in varying 
amounts of granulated sugar. Metal fragments observed in walls. 
Personnel who subsequently entered blast chamber noted 
perceiving a taste of sugar. No harmful effects noted.

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Unpowered 

Item description: A 6-inch-long figurine of SCP-682, which upon 
being removed from the vending machine became animate, and 
sang barbershop music, dancing with a cane and boater hat (source 
of cane and hat remains unidentified). Backup singers were heard 
from an unidentified source. Nearby security personnel opened fire 
upon the figurine. Bullets did not harm the object and were absorbed 
into it. After approximately two minutes, figurine concluded 
performance, bowed, and became inanimate, with cane and hat 
demanifesting. Item not consumed, but tests revealed it to be made 
of caramel. Further chemical analysis revealed that the caramel was 
contaminated with large amounts of arsenic and ricin poison. Item 
also contained intact, expended 9mm JHP rounds, having 
apparently "healed" the wounds but not removed the bullets. Item 
disposed of. 


Dr. Bozkurt: lan? 


There is a short pause before SCP-2306-1 becomes 
responsive again. 


SCP-2306-1: Apologies Dr. Bozkurt. Please note that 
you are currently not using me for my intended purpose, 
and | cannot guarantee the quality of my performance or 
my stability under such conditions. 


Dr. Bozkurt: | understand. | only have a few more 
questions anyway. Tell me, do you experience anything 
when your user removes the flash drive from the 
computer? 


There is a pause as SCP-2306-1 appears to take time to 
put thought into its answer. SCP-2306-1 begins to 
vocalize again, but then appears to freeze. Moments 
later SCP-2306-1 begins to speak. 


SCP-2306-1: White light at end of tunnel. Like after 
crash. Cliché, right... and then the next thing | know I’ve 
been plugged back in again. 


Dr. Bozkurt: Interesting... 


There is a few moments of silence as Bozkurt takes 
several notes. 


Dr. Bozkurt: One last thing, lan. For future reference I'd 
like you to use an avatar when interacting with me. 


SCP-2306-1: No problems. Did you have one in mind? 


Dr. Bozkurt: | was hoping you would. A mental picture of 
you, as you see yourself. Please go into the paint 
function and create this image. 


SCP-2306-1: ... okay. 


SCP-2306-1 proceeds to open up the computer's paint 
program. After approximately 15 minutes, it has 


produced a rough outline of a face, but then freezes and 
appears to crash. Dr. Bozkurt's attempts at regaining 
operation of SCP-2306-1 fail. 


<End Log> 


Follow up attempts to have SCP-2306-1 generate an avatar for itself 
have resulted in similar crashes. Over the course of several more 
tests, enough fragments of SCP-2306-1’s avatar have been 
collected to produce a composite image of what is likely a young 
male of Asian descent. Attempts to find a human match for this 
identity, either living or dead, are currently ongoing. 


Addendum 2306-B: IJ1990_2012 Folder 


On 08/08/2015 a folder named “IJ1990_ 2012” was found on the 
computer used to run multiple tests of SCP-2306. The folder 
contained numerous files of various formats including images, audio, 
and video. When questioned about the folder, SCP-2306-1 denied 
any knowledge of the contents, or how such a folder came to exist 
on its host computer. A selection of the files found in the folder is 
included below:

Addendum 2306-C: Recovery 


SCP-2306 was recovered by Foundation personnel on July 17th, 
2015 following a raid on the offices of Gol-1115 (Anderson 
Robotics) by MIF Gamma-13 (Asimov’s Lawbringers) near Bend, 
Oregon. SCP-2306 was found in an office drawer with the following 
documents:

Additionally the following messages were found on sticky notes that 
were found attached to the document at the time of recovery. 


Jason, 


I’m glad you managed to fix most of those memory 
problems you were having with lan. Fingers crossed 
you'll get the discharge problem under your thumb soon. 
Phineas's notes say there are some incantations we can 
try that will bind him to accept all commands and limit his 
functionality outside the desired medium, but that means 
we're going to need a vessel much larger than a flash 
drive, which defeats the nimble design of the product. 
Just remember to keep this project quiet until | figure out 
how to get Vincent and Phineas on board. 


If | am correct these things are going to sell like 
hotcakes. I’ve already taken the liberty of contacting a 
supplier Marshall recommended and stockpiling about 
twenty more of the raw material for when we hammer all 
the bugs out so we can get a jump on the demand.

SCP-2307: The Pen Is Mightier 


Item #: SCP-2307 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2307-01 is to be stored in 
a medium-sized (35 liter) aquarium tank filled with water taken from 
either Dozmary Pool or Llyn Ogwen’, which is to be inspected 
weekly for flaws in the tank. Secondary and tertiary tanks are to be 
kept to store SCP-2307-01 during primary tank maintenance. 


SCP-2307-02 is to be kept in a climate-controlled case meant to 
preserve skeletal structures, and is to be cleaned and inspected for 
damage immediately after each test conducted with it. Use of 
SCP-2307-02 with other memory- or record-affecting SCPs is 
permitted with approval from O5-2. 


Description: SCP-2307-01 is the remains of a long sword, with a 
56 cm hilt and a partial blade approximately 40cm in length, 
estimated to be approximately 43% of its original size. Carbon 
dating has shown that the hilt and cross guard of the sword date to 
approximately the 4th Century CE; however, the metal used in the 
blade dates to approximately 3.2 Billion BCE. SCP-2307-01 is ina 
severe state of disrepair as a result of being submerged in water for 
at least 1300 years. 


SCP-2307-01's primary anomaly manifests when a subject makes 
contact with the hilt of the sword. Following this, all records 
pertaining to the subject will gradually distort in a manner that 
reflects positively on the subject, giving wildly different accounts of 
their life over a period of time: 


* Immediately after coming into contact with SCP-2307-01, birth 
certificates will have altered dates, spellings of names, and in 
some cases, gender. Typically, individuals will have their birth 
dates altered to be on more significant dates, such as July 7th 


(7/7), October 31st, December 25th, or February 14th. 

Within one year, educational records will show that the 
individual scored highly on tests and grading, if applicable, 
and will occasionally claim that a subject went to two or more 
different educational institutions in the same span of time. In 
addition, subjects lacking a college education will be shown to 
have at least a master's degree of some form. The subject's 
knowledge will not change regardless of what the records 
show. 

Within five years, if applicable, subject's financial records- 
including bank statements and tax records- will show them as 
being wealthy, with a net value of at least $750,000 American. 
Within ten years, records will show the subject being a 
prominent candidate in some form of political campaign, with 
inconsistent records of them either winning or losing to the 
candidate they were opposing. If a win, it will be in a landslide 
election; if a loss, it will be by a small margin. Memories of 
individuals that have voted in elections which the subject was 
allegedly a candidate in have no recollection of them existing. 
Finally, death certificates will not reflect the actual cause of 
death of the subject; subjects will invariably have died in some 
form of combat and died from causes such as sword blows, 
bullets, and arrows fatally impacting. 


Usually, most accounts only agree on the fact that the subject held 
SCP-2307-01 at some point in their life. 


Furthermore, when SCP-2307-01 is not submerged in water taken 
from either Dozmary Pool or Llyn Ogwen, the metal of the blade will 
regenerate at a rate of approximately 15mm/day, and rust will begin 
to flake off of the blade. While no negative consequences are 
believed to occur if SCP-2307-01 regenerates fully, it is being kept 
submerged as per the containment procedures as a precaution. 


SCP-2307-02 is an item previously believed to be unrelated to the 
SCP-2307 anomaly. SCP-2307-02 is a shamanistic crown carved 
from the skull of a horse, believed to have been worn during rituals 
in 5th-7th Century Britain. SCP-2307-02 is in poor condition, with 
several fractures in the bone as a result of age and repeated use in 
recent years. 


SCP-2307-02, when worn, gives complete immunity to memory 
alteration, including all classes of amnestics, and all forms of 
cognitohazardous record alteration, such as those exhibited by 
SCP-2307-01. All memories experienced while wearing 
SCP-2307-02 are retained on an eidetic level. SCP-2307-02 was 
previously classified as E-9382-U, and was used in experiments 
involving memory- and record-altering anomalies. Following Test 
2307-19, it was reclassed as a component of SCP-2307. 


Test 2307-19: 


Hypothesis: Use of E-9382-U in conjunction with SCP-2307 will 
allow either for records pertaining to the subject to be unaltered, or 
for the records to be altered at will. If records are indeed able to be 
altered, the subject will attempt to modify their birth certificate so that 
it reads that they were born exactly one year before the date listed. 
Test Subject: D-2307-19, Born 08/15/1977. 

Record of Test: D-2307-19 reacts with some level of disgust at the 
prospect of wearing E-9382-U, stating that he "doesn't like freaky 
bone stuff". D-2307-19 says he will comply if he is given an extra 
dessert ration. Request granted; subject puts on E-9382-U. 


Subject is then instructed to remove SCP-2307 from its container. 
Subject briefly complains of hands getting wet, before exclaiming 
and dropping SCP-2307 on the floor five seconds after removing it 
from its container. 


When asked the reason for this action, Subject gave this statement: 


| was... holding the damn thing. | was on a horse, and 
there was an army around me. Not a big army, maybe 
sixty people, all of them with crosses on their armor. 
Some guy was next to me with this hat (indicating 
E-9382-U) on his head, telling me what | had to do to 
win. 


Testing was suspended following this statement. As of 5/21/2015- 
five years after the experiment was conducted- no alteration of 
D-2307-19's records have occurred. 


Conclusion: Further cross-testing with the two items is deemed 


necessary. 
Addendum: 


The following document collects statements given by D-2307-19, 
who has been rendered exempt from D-Class Reassignment for the 
purposes of study. Statements are listed in the order collected, and 
appear to be mostly about a single individual, with the exceptions of 
Statements 2307-42, 2307-51, 2307-57, and 2307-59, which is listed 
separately. 


| was in bed, with my wife- well, not my wife, but 
someone's wife; she felt like mine. She and | were talking 
about making a kid, but not with her. She couldn't have 
no kids anymore, after she got hit in the tummy with an 
arrow. | know | told someone to put the arrow in there, 
because otherwise, she would have had kids with my 
best friend... 


| couldn't breathe. It was the scariest experience of my 
fucking life. | felt like | was trapped in a fucking coffin, 
and it lasted for so long, and | couldn't breathe the whole 
time, but | was still alive. | remember some guys 
speaking in Latin, but | couldn't see them, and | knew 
they put me there. Then the coffin shook, and | heard 
some guy speaking... | dunno. It sounded like gibberish. 
"Build poi ban agh tongue-ooh clayed hun fod bringin’ a 
tea". Probably not English.2. 


There was a guy with this horse thing on his head, 
dancing around a fire in a big, wood hall. He would throw 
things into the fire, and they would form... images. Of 
people. People that | knew | had to find, before someone 
else did. They were warriors, and there were a ton of 
them. And | remember thinking that | was going to need 
a big hall for a table. You don't think... nah. 


| was Cutting off someone's head with a sword, like at an 
execution. | guess you guys know a lot about those, heh. 
It looked like the sword | was holding but... bright and 

shiny and new. Nothing fancy, just a really, really, really 


fucking sharp sword. It only took one blow to cut off his 
head; the hell is that thing made of, adamantium? 


That was scary, that was fucking scary. | was in battle 
with one of my men, fighting... elves, | think? That's the 
only way | can describe them. They wanted my sword, 
and my guy... he was about ten feet tall, and at one 
point, he grabbed one of the elves and ate him. He said 
something in French, and | laughed. | laughed at 
someone getting their head eaten. The fuck is wrong 
with me? 


| was dying. | knew | was going to die; one of my sons 
had stabbed me, and | had killed him first, but | was hurt 
bad. So, | had my men take me to a lake. | remember 
that | had spent time with my sister there-her name was 
Morcant- when | was young. What kind of name is that 
for a girl? Morcant. 


| just... wanted to see the place one last time before | 
died. Then, something... something came out of the 
water. She was beautiful. She looked even better than 
my wife did. Her skin was kind of blue, her nose was flat, 
and she had weird... feeler-things in her hair. God, I'd 
love to see her again. She wasn't human, | know that 
much. She asked me if | wanted to keep my legacy alive. 
| said yes. She asked for the sword, and | gave it to her, 
and she'd promised me she'd keep it safe.. She kissed 
me, said "goodnight", and... | was gone. 


| couldn't stop crying. A messenger came from the 
woods and told me that one of my best friends had died. 
| kept crying over that damn skull | was wearing, and it 
took me days to calm down. | sat in my bedroom the 
whole time, just... staring at the ceiling. I've never been 
that sad. | hope | never am again. 


| felt like | couldn't breathe for so long- | was in that coffin 
again, | think. Then, | was pulled out of the ground, and | 
cringed so hard; metal against stone is nota good 

sound. And then, | was someone else. | was just... a kid,

Item description: Chocolate 5 1/4" Floppy disk, later inspection 
reveals it to be formatted for the Japanese MSX Computer. 
Performing a read/write test with aforementioned computers did not 
melt or affect the disk in any way, despite the fact that the internal

was separated by a ceramic divide down the center. One half 
contained honey, and the other half contained several fresh figs. 
Honey described as "clovery". The prize inside was a miniature 
marble bust of Plato.

crackers. Crackers containing gold and silver had their innards 
extracted. D-class ate the cracker shells of both and noted that they 
were similar in taste and texture to saltines. Other crackers 
contained vitriol, hydrochloric acid, antimony, mercury, and lead.

maybe eleven or twelve, and | was holding the sword 
with both hands. | took it out just so | could fight in some 
tournament that my brother had gotten sick for. People 
pointed at me as | went, and | thought | was in trouble. 
Then some old guy with a horse head over his face 
came up to me and said | was a ruler. Son of a bitch. 


Statement 2307-42: 


| was an old man, and I'd been walking for a long, long 
time. | eventually walked up to a rock with a sword in it, 
just sitting there in the middle of nowhere, and | touched 
it. Then, BAM! | was knocked on my ass by lightning, 
and something spoke to me. It told me to find a boy to 
make king, and to spread her word all over. | said that | 
would. 


Then... this is the first time this has happened. | was 
somewhere else, talking with the boy, who was now a 
man. | tried to persuade him to change his religion, but 
he said he would banish me if | tried teaching him my 
“pagan faith" again. | don't know what | was even 
preaching; something about machines, | think. 


Statement 2307-51: 


| was some kind of religious guy; monk, maybe? | 
remember | had itchy robes. | found the sword after it 
had washed up on the shore, and then | figured out it 
wasn't a sword. It was, like... the tip of a giant pen. A 
stylus, | think | called it? 


| ran back to the monastery with it, and when | got 
there... | found that scrolls that | had written had 
changed. We cried out about apocrypha and an unholy 
force altering the scrolls. We tried to destroy the pen, 
piece by piece, but the more we destroyed, the more 
things we had altered. And then the lightning started. 


It struck all over the place, and friends and other monks 
were dying. It was horrible. Eventually, the monastery 


caught fire, and | was the only one to escape. A voice... 
something grinding like nails on a chalkboard mixed with 
rusty gears- told me what to do with what was left over of 
the pen. | took it to a blacksmith, and he made it into a 
sword for me. | then just... stuck it in a rock in the middle 
of a stone circle, where | thought that nobody would ever 
find it. From what I've seen... this me was an idiot. 


Statement 2307-57: 


| was that... weird water woman, this time, the one | told 
you about in the one where | died. | had lived in the lake 
all my life. Some monks- | think they were from the same 
order as the last guy- came to me, asking me to keep 
something safe for them. They begged and bargained 
with me, saying that something unholy was upon the 
land. | told them | "did not care of their mortal ways" -her 
words, not mine-, and then they said a name: 
MEKHANE. 


| told them | would agree to whatever they wanted me to 
do. They had sent someone disguised as the son of the 
king who had the sword- who had apparently been made 
with his half-sister, ew- to kill him in battle. They said that 
they would... bless my lake, and one of my sister's lakes, 
to hold the sword of MEKHANE in it, so that it couldn't 
make new legends, whatever that means. In exchange, | 
would be written about as a queen among fairies- er, fae, 
or whatever. The Lady of the Lake, they called me. | 
liked the sound of that. Son of a bitch. 


Statement 2307-59's: 


| was writing the word of the world, on a beach, using 
lightning. My people ran around below me, gathering up 
the glass from where the lightning struck, and 
transcribing my word onto their own scrolls, where they 
would make my holy books. Then, one day, | was hit 
by... something, and my pen broke. | managed to make 
most of it land on the beach, but... some of it didn't. 


A big chunk of my pen landed a quarter of the way 
across the world, somewhere where | didn't care about it. 
And then they tried to break it. | didn't like that, so | tried 
to burn them with lightning and eventually, they gave in. 


I've probably told you the rest of this, but from different 
perspectives. One thing | remember, though... 
remember that Lady of the Lake girl? | remember doing 
something to the sword- her kind didn't like iron- so that it 
wouldn't hurt her, or anyone like her. | don't know why | 
did it; | kind of remember thinking it was for safekeeping. 


And then | saw... myself, holding the sword with that hat 
on, and then | saw the whole thing over again, and over, 
and over, and over, and over... until | finally dropped it.

SCP-2308: Futures Trading 


NOTICE FROM THE RECORDS AND INFORMATION 
SECURITY ADMINISTRATION 


This document describes an anomaly that was neutralized prior to 
its identification and classification. This record is maintained for 
the benefit of historical and scientific reference, in accordance 
with RAISA-3010 ("Archival of Documentation for Neutralized 

Anomalies"). 


Item #: SCP-2308 
Object Class: Neutralized 
Special Containment Procedures: N/A 


Description: SCP-2308 was a line of high-performance consumer 
automobiles manufactured between 1999 and 2009, and sold from 
1998 to 2008, by Argo Automotives!. Automobiles from the 
SCP-2308 model line possessed no anomalous properties of their 
own, except for being manufactured a year after they were sold. 


Through the use of a currently unidentified temporal anomaly, Argo 
Automotives created a Temporal Self-Investment Loop2. 
Automobiles were manufactured using then-current non-anomalous 
technology, then were sent one year into the past to be sold as high- 
technology, high-performance vehicles. The money from these sales 
was then used to fund the development and manufacture of the 
vehicles that had just been sold. 


Argo Automotives profited greatly from this strategy, up until the 
global financial crisis of 2008. Faced with a drastic drop in demand 
for automobiles, Argo Automotives found itself unable to sell its 2009 
year model, and was thus unable to attain the necessary funds to 
develop and manufacture the 2009 year model. Despite this, Argo 


Automotives began manufacturing the vehicle in-order to prevent a 
potential temporal paradox. While the company succeeded in 
producing and delivering all of the necessary vehicles, the effort left 
Argo Automotives bankrupt. 


The Foundation first became aware of SCP-2308 in 2010, during the 
liquidation proceedings for Argo Automotives, when several of its 
former manufacturing employees were hired by a Foundation front 
company. An investigation was immediately launched to determine 
the full extent of the Temporal Self-Investment Loop involved, as 
well as identify any potential paradoxes it may have created. 


This investigation found that the loop was relatively self-contained, 
and identified no paradoxes’. However, the temporal anomaly used 
in the production of SCP-2308 could not be found; it is believed to 
have been surreptitiously sold to an unknown buyer prior to the 
liquidation proceedings. Efforts are ongoing to locate it.

Prometheus conglomerate. 

3. Whether this is due to precautions taken by Argo Automotives or 
due to neutralization of paradoxes by an alternate timeline 
Foundation is unknown.

SCP-2309: Iron Wall of Dhul-Qarnayn 


Item #: SCP-2309 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: In order to prevent 
unauthorized access, the area surrounding SCP-2309 has been 
enclosed by a chain-link fence and given the public designation of a 
proving ground used by the Georgian Land Forces. A team of 
observers is to be stationed at SCP-2309 at all times to regularly 
report on the structural condition of SCP-2309. Any breach in 
SCP-2309 is to be reported immediately and considered a potential 
SK-Class dominance shift scenario. Upon receiving such a report, 
Foundation military assets stationed in the Middle East are to be 
activated and deployed according to Contingency Plan-2309, to 
assess the situation, and, if applicable, engage any hostile forces 
that appear. 


Description: SCP-2309 is an approximately 20 m tall and 5 m thick 
wall, constructed from blocks of iron covered in a thin layer of brass, 
standing between the walls of the Pass in Region, Georgia. 
Although SCP-2309 is not susceptible to damage by conventional 
means, SCP-2309 continuously deteriorates through an anomalous 
process in which pieces of metal disappear from the north-facing 
side of SCP-2309, leaving a variety of patterns generally similar to 
claw marks in appearance. This process of deterioration, which 
occurs between sunrise and sunset, will continue until the thickness 
of the wall is reduced to as little as 5 cm in some sections. Between 
each period of deterioration, SCP-2309 will regenerate the lost 
material at a rate of approximately 0.5 mm/s, such that all of the lost 
material will have been regenerated before the next period of 
deterioration. 


Foundation historians believe that SCP-2309 was constructed 
during the 6th century BCE, under the sponsorship of Cyrus the 
Great, founder of the Achaemenid Empire. The historical existence 


of SCP-2309 has been attested by various written sources dating 
from as early as the 1St century CE1; publicly-accessible versions of 
these sources have been modified accordingly to obscure the 
existence and location of SCP-2309. Of particular interest among 
these sources is the following first-hand account of SCP-2309, given 
by Sallam at-Turjumani, an official serving in the court of caliph al- 
Wathiq of the Abbasid Dynasty, during the early 9th century CE. 


Open "Report on the Iron Wall" by Sallam at- 
Turjumani (Department of Antiquities: 1908.99.58) 


After the caliph reported a dream in which he 
saw the Iron Wall of Dhul-Qarnayn2 being 
breached by Yajuj and Majuj3, he dispatched 
me to investigate the matter. Heading 
northwards to the Caucasus, | arrived in Tbilisi 
after six months of travel. There | made 
inquiries concerning the state of the Iron Wall, 
and found an old Magian4 who told me that he 
had seen the Iron Wall, and that it still stood. | 
then offered him twenty dinars to lead me to 
the lron Wall, and without comment he led me 
further northward, to a pass between the 
mountains of and. There | beheld the 
Iron Wall, and to the relief of both the caliph 
and myself, | found that the Iron Wall still 
stood, and that Dhul-Qarnayn's construction 
equipment remained intact, scattered about 
the site. 


What | found strange, however, was that | 
could see the scratches made by Yajuj and 
Majuj on the Iron Wall, but | could not see 
Yajuj and Majuj themselves. When | expressed 
my confusion to the Magian, he told me that 
the people of Yajuj and Majuj lie hidden 
beyond the Iron Wall. He then placed his hand 
on my shoulder, at which point | saw the horde 
of Yajuj and Majuj streaming towards us as 
they tore at the Iron Wall. They were as 


gruesome as | had imagined, for their 
nakedness was not even hidden by skin, and 
their hands ended not in nails, but vicious 
rending claws. 


Behind the horde of Yajuj and Majuj, | saw 
only devastation: every tree and plant had 
been uprooted, and the only beasts that 
survived their onslaught were flies, maggots, 
and roaches. Examining the disposition of the 
forces of Yajuj and Majuj more closely, | saw 
two masked men, cloaked in red robes like 
those of Roman bishops, presiding over the 
horde from atop flesh-crafted towers. Before 
them stood a massive, four-legged beast that 
was larger than five elephants and had only a 
bony plate for a face. Raising their staves 
towards the air, they guided the beast as a 
performer might guide a puppet. Responding 
to their every gesture, the beast began to 
charge toward the Iron Wall, trampling 
underfoot the Yajuj and Majuj that strayed into 
its path, before its head slammed into the Iron 
Wall, which emerged largely unscathed. 


| questioned the Magian as to why Yajuj and 
Majuj continued this futile effort to penetrate 
the lron Wall, when they could have 
undermined it or built a scaffold. He replied 
that where Yajuj and Majuj stood, the ground 
was harder than Damascus steel and the 
ceiling of heaven was exactly at the height of 
the Iron Wall, so that even the most 
insignificant insect could not fly over it. | told 
the Magian that | had seen enough, and he 
removed his hand from my shoulder. As Yajuj 
and Majuj disappeared from my sight, he told 
me that the caliph and the rulers of every 
civilized land must heed the threat of Yajuj and 
Majuj. Sometimes | question whether my 


vision was a sign from Allah or a Magian trick, 
but | am inclined to believe that | was not 
deceived, for Allah is Knowing and Seeing, 
and | saw only what had already been 
revealed. 


Foundation archeologists began excavations of the area 
surrounding SCP-2309 in 1992. Among the articles of interest 
discovered were: 


¢ Acache of approximately one thousand Lydian coins. 

¢ A large number of iron and bronze fragments from 
Achaemenid weapons and armor. 

A collection of gears and other machine parts, probably used 
in the construction of SCP-2309. Many are stamped with the 
seals of the Mekhanite temple-cults of the lonian city-states. 
A mass grave containing skeletons with humanoid body 
structures largely similar to those of baseline Homo sapiens 
sapiens, deviating from the baseline in that their skulls largely 
consist of a vertically aligned pair of sharp jaws, and that their 
fingers end with bony claws. These specimens have been 
noted to resemble captured instances of SK-BIO Type B. 

A large clay cylinder, containing the following record, written in 
Old Persian, of the construction of SCP-2309 and the 
circumstances in which it took place. 


Open "Iron Wall Cylinder" by Unknown Author (Department of Antiquit 


All civilized men praise Cyrus, beloved of 
Ahura Mazda’, king of kings, king of Persia, 
Babylon, Sumer, Akkad, and Lydia! His army, 
which counts in its ranks as many men as 
there are drops of water in the Tigris and the 
Euphrates, marched into the Caucasus to 
confront the invaders who have sallied out 
from Adatum®. Led by Karasci’ Yagaha and 
Karasci Mahaga, daeva8-generals of Angra 
Mainyu9, they have caused great mischief in 
our lands. At first, Cyrus's army drove them 
back, to the Pass, but the onslaught was 
endless, such that even the Companions!9 


could not hold them back. In his divinely- 
granted wisdom, Cyrus resolved to build a 
barrier, to hold back the daevas and their 
accursed armies. Gathering the wisest men 
from all corners of his empire, Cyrus journeyed 
to lonia, where he enlisted the Mekhanite 
builder-priests. As Cyrus's armies held the 
line, the Mekhanites erected a great wall from 
blocks of iron, and poured over it a layer of 
consecrated brass, so that Karasci Yagaha 
and Karasci Mahaga and their armies will be 
sealed away from mankind in the realm of 
druj'1 until the end of time. 


Because of the eschatological significance assigned to SCP-2309, 
and the existence of written and archeological evidence suggesting 
that SCP-2309 was constructed as a barrier against Sarkic armies, it 
is believed that the breach of SCP-2309, if and when it should take 
place, may constitute an SK-Class dominance shift scenario. 
Historical and esoteric research regarding the nature of the threat 
posed by SCP-2309 and possible improvements to its containment 
is Ongoing.

SCP-2310: The House That Makes You Sarah Palmer 


Item #: SCP-2310 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Instances of 2310-A are to be 
housed in four replicas of SCP-2310, to encourage their 
cooperation. The perimeter of their housing complex is to be placed 
under guard, but subjects are to have freedom of movement within 
the complex. 


SCP-2310 is to be kept isolated on the grounds of Site 115. No 
research requiring the physical presence of Foundation personnel is 
to be conducted on SCP-2310, and no Foundation personnel are to 
be allowed access to SCP-2310's holding facility. Research 
requiring human interaction with SCP-2310 is to be undertaken with 
the assistance of trained volunteers recruited from Site 115's 
population of 2310-As. Each 2310-A must undergo a minimum of 18 
months of therapy before they will be allowed to volunteer as C- 
Class personnel. 


2310-B is to be kept in secure living quarters at Site 115. Foundation 
personnel are to avoid contact with it until research on its possible 
anomalous properties is complete. 


Given Ms. Palmer's lack of anomalous properties and ongoing 
cooperation with the SCP Foundation, her designation as 2310-B 
has been retired. She has been released from Containment Division 
oversight, and details of her containment are to be handled by 
Human Resources. 


Description: SCP-2310 is a suburban house originally located in 
Anne Arundel County, Maryland.! Any human who enters the 
building immediately undergoes an anomalous mind-altering event. 
Such subjects are instances of 2310-A. Instances of 2310-A believe 
themselves to be a 42-year-old human female named "Sarah 


Palmer." 


2310-B, the individual believed to be the original Sarah Palmer, has 
no apparent anomalous attributes other than an immunity to the 
effects of SCP-2310. She inhabited SCP-2310 between 1989 and 
2007. No anomalous activity surrounding the house was reported by 
her or anyone else during this period; the current anomaly is 
believed to have first presented itself some time in mid-2013. 2310- 
B was unaware of anomalous activity concerning her former home 
until briefed by Foundation personnel. 


The consciousness of each new instance of 2310-A is replaced with 
a copy of 2310-B's mind as it was on the morning of January 20, 
2002.2 2310-B has confirmed that memories described by 2310-As 
match its own memories prior to this date. 2310-B's memories after 
that date are not accessible to 2310-As, and while the personalities 
of 2310-As are initially very similar they often develop down different 
paths. 2310-As retain no memories or awareness of their former 
self, and self-identify as Sarah Palmer.3 As there is no known way of 
reversing this process, Foundation personnel affected by SCP-2310 
in this manner, though still physically functioning, are to be 
considered deceased. 


Neither the constituent parts of SCP-2310, any of the objects or 
furniture contained within, or the site on which it was originally 
located demonstrate any anomalous activity in isolation. It is not 
known what level of assembly is required for SCP-2310 to 
demonstrate anomalous activity. 


Addendum 2310-i: Security Reclassification Notice 


The full mission report for Operation Snowglobe is 
classified, and that isn't going to change any time soon. 
However, given the dramatic staff changes it has caused 
at Site 115, curiosity is natural. | have obtained 
permission to outline the events of Snowglobe; you've 
probably heard some of the details from our local Sarahs 
anyway. 


Let me be frank: Snowglobe was an unforced error. 
Twenty experienced Mobile Task Force agents died at 


the hands of an artifact that probably would have been 
classified Safe if the recovery hadn't been botched so 
badly. As your new site director, | hope to use this as a 
learning opportunity to address the root causes of this 
catastrophe. 


The following memo consists of excerpts from the 
SCP-2310 Recovery Report alongside my own 
commentary. Discussion sessions to improve our staff's 
understanding of engagement procedures will begin on 
Monday. This includes both Site 115 personnel and all 
field units attached to Site 115. Please familiarize 
yourself with the events of Operation Snowglobe before 
then. 


—Site Director Prell 
Addendum 2310-ii: SCP-2310 Recovery Report 


August 18, 2013: Foundation agents from Field Unit 
Epsilon-7 ("Seven Magpies"), while monitoring cult 
activity in the Washington, D.C. suburbs, note a cluster 
of disappearances in a single neighborhood in Anne 
Arundel County, Maryland. Two of these disappearances 
are from local law enforcement who were themselves 
investigating the neighborhood. Further information is 
requested from the Anne Arundel County Police 
Department. 


Morning of August 19: Local law enforcement reports 
that they believe the missing persons are being held ina 
house at . Neighbors describe strange 
activity in the house, interpreted by them as "cultlike." 
They also report seeing some kind of struggle between 
figures within the house. An expedited warrant for a raid 
on the house is obtained by local law enforcement. 
Foundation field agents continue monitoring the 
situation, while leaving it in the hands of local authorities. 


Evening of August 19: Anne Arundel County Police 


Department conducts a raid on the house. Despite an 
absence of signs of conflict, communication with the 
officers is quickly lost. As AACPD prepares to send in 
assistance, field agents under the command of Eric 
Strohman intervene and take control of the situation. A 
perimeter is formed around the house, the neighborhood 
is evacuated, and field agents begin conducting 
reconnaissance on the house. 


This is where the field team begins down the wrong path. 
Seven Magpies specializes in investigating the D.C. 
area's cult problem, and when neighbors suggested 
there was a "cult" living in SCP-2310, the field team 
jumped on this and did not fully consider other 
possibilities. For the rest of the reconnaissance period, 
the field team operates under the assumption that they 
are dealing with cultists wielding anomalous weaponry, 
rather than a localized anomaly contained within the 
house. This assessment will go on to color the Mobile 
Task Force's response. 


August 20, 12:40 AM: Field agents report on activity 
within the house. Several of the missing police officers 
are seen moving around inside, in a state of apparent 
agitation. Attempts to communicate with them via 
loudspeaker only cause them to react with fear. They are 
accosted by strangely dressed figures, who lead them to 
the basement. Other presumed captives, however, are 
observed to have freedom of movement within the 
house. Field agents conclude that the cultists may have 
access to anomalous means of indoctrination. 


1:12 AM: A man dressed in red robes4 opens a window 
on the top floor. He begins shouting at perimeter guards. 
He instructs them to leave the house alone. He is 
unresponsive to offers to negotiate the release of 
captives. After several minutes, he breaks into tears, 
closes the window, and retreats into the house. 


3:51 AM: Broad-spectrum energy analysis of the house 


is completed. No unusual energy signatures are detected 
from the house. Around twenty-four lifeforms are 
detected within the house. Based on local 
disappearances, up to twenty-one of them are assumed 
to be captives. 


4:25 AM: Site Director Pritchard arrives on-site along 
with Mobile Task Force Rho-14 ("Old Boars") led by 
Agent Talbot. Pritchard, Talbot, and Agent Strohman 
meet to discuss the Foundation's response. They 
approve the forcible entry of the house and detainment 
of its inhabitants. The recovery operation is filed as 
"Snowglobe." 


Site Director Pritchard's personal intervention was 
unnecessary, and likely influenced by her previous 
successes in combating the Seven Daughters Society 
and the Friends of Amicus. She reportedly advocated for 
an immediate military response, with the support of 
Agent Talbot but over the objections of Agent Strohman. 


While Pritchard's concern for securing the immediate 
safety of the captives is commendable, her disregard of 
Strohman's analysis was reckless. Transcripts suggest 
she and Talbot had decided on a course of action before 
even reaching the scene. Though Strohman was her 
subordinate, as the leader of the field agents researching 
SCP-2310 his assessment should have carried more 
weight. While his assumptions about the nature of the 
mind-altering anomaly at work were far off the mark, he 
was correct in regarding the mere possibility of mind- 
altering anomalies as a red flag meriting extraordinary 
caution. 


One final consideration is more subtle and psychological: 
once a combat-oriented Mobile Task Force was 
dispatched to the scene, Foundation leadership was 
under pressure to put them to use. We've actually 
researched this— when Mobile Task Forces are 
dispatched prior to the approval of force, approval 
follows within the next 12 hours in 78% of cases and 


within the next 48 hours in 90% of cases. Their mere 
presence makes the use of force the path of least 
resistance. We, of all people, must recognize how little 
power we have over our own minds. 


5:00 AM: Agents resume attempts at negotiation via 
loudspeaker. With this drawing the attention of the 
inhabitants of the house, MTF Rho-14 takes up positions 
and prepares to enter the building. Fireteam Axum is 
positioned at the back door, Fireteam Babel at a 
basement hatch, Fireteam Corinth on the roof, and 
Fireteams Dacia and Egypt are held in reserve. 


5:10 AM: Agent Talbot orders Fireteam Axum into the 
house. They breach the back door. Agent Wright is the 
first inside. Upon entering the house, his consciousness 
is immediately replaced with an instance of 2310-A, 
becoming the individual recorded as 2310-A-18.9 


Following Wright into the building, the rest of his team is 
likewise replaced with instances of 2310-A. Finding 
herself surrounded by men with guns, 2310-A-18 yells 
"Don't shoot!" Each of the new 2310-As joins in with a 
similar frightened reaction, and they scatter. Most flee 
deeper into the house; 2310-A-2 runs into the yard and 
hides in a bush. 


Hearing Fireteam Axum shouting about armed men over 
the radio, Agent Talbot orders Fireteams Babel and 
Corinth into the building, intending to flank the armed 
men believed to be threatening Axum. Babel enters the 
basement and Corinth breaches the roof; all four 
members of each team are immediately converted into 
instances of 2310-A. They begin adding to the radio 
chatter about armed men. 


Facing what is assumed to be an unexpectedly strong 
force armed with conventional weapons, Site Director 
Pritchard orders Fireteams Dacia and Egypt to enter the 
building. This decision is strongly opposed by Agents 
Talbot and Strohman, who have by now taken note of 


the unusually panicked reactions from trained Mobile 
Task Force agents. Their objections are overruled. 


Agent Talbot leads Fireteams Dacia and Egypt through 
the front door. They are immediately converted into 
instances of 2310-A. With the last of Mobile Task Force 
Rho-14 routing, Director Pritchard orders a full 
withdrawal, unaware that the entire team has already 
been effectively killed in action. 


Director Pritchard didn't get reassigned because she got 
people killed. If the Foundation exiled Site Directors to 
"Keter duty" every time they got people killed, I'd be on 
Keter duty. Pritchard got reassigned because, with 
everyone around her telling her to exercise caution, she 
proved incapable of cutting her losses. 


| know Pritchard was popular here, so let me assure you 
that her career will not be solely defined by its darkest 
moment. She has done excellent work for the 
Foundation, and her talents will be put to good use 
elsewhere. 


5:13 AM: Many converted Foundation agents flee the 
building, along with other instances of 2310-A frightened 
by the armed intruders. Their unusual mental state is 
immediately apparent. Field Team Epsilon-7 resumes 
reconnaissance of the house and detains the fleeing 
2310-As. 


6:30 AM: On-site debriefing of converted agents is 
uninformative; they are found to be unable to explain the 
events of the raid. Their shift in identity is not yet fully 
noted, and they are initially believed to be simply 
suffering from an anomalous form of amnesia. 


Interviews with instances of 2310-A who had more time 
to adjust to their condition are more revealing. It quickly 
becomes clear that they are not affiliated with any known 
groups of interest. They discuss their shared identity as 
Sarah Palmer. Improvised tests comparing their 


memories and personalities provide tentative support for 
the claims that they are duplicates of the same 
consciousness. 


Their testimony further establishes that the 2310-As had 
decided to seclude themselves in the house both to 
conceal their condition, and because each of them 
regarded it as their home. The struggles within the house 
reported by witnesses had been instigated by the "True 
Sarahs," a clique of 2310-As who happened to physically 
resemble the original Sarah Palmer. The True Sarahs 
had unsuccessfully attempted to evict the other 2310-As 
when money and food began to run low. (This shortage 
seems to have been inadvertently caused by the original 
Sarah Palmer, then living in Florida, who around this 
time filed a report of identity theft with Bank of America.) 


Most of the 2310-As prove cooperative following these 
interviews. Director Pritchard asks several volunteers 
among them to bring monitoring devices into the house 
and to send out the remaining 2310-As hiding inside, 
including twelve converted Foundation agents. 


6:45 AM: 2310-As acting under Foundation direction 
enter the house. Several of these volunteers are 
threatened with guns by converted agents. However, the 
original Sarah Palmer was unfamiliar with the operation 
of assault rifles, and none of the converted agents are 
able to turn off the safety. 


Over the course of the next four hours, the remaining 
2310-As are successfully coaxed out of the building by 
2310-A volunteers. They are taken into Foundation 
custody and brought to Site 115, where they meet with 
Foundation therapists to help prepare them for 
detainment. 


1:10 PM: After a review of local property prices, it is 
determined that it would be more economical to elevate 
and relocate the house than to secure it on-site. A 
request is sent to Site 227 for the temporary use of an 


engineering team. 


The report keeps going, but I'll spare you the details of 
the engineering team moving the actual house. Suffice to 
say SCP-2310 claimed its final Foundation casualty 
during structure relocation: the roof (which had been 
weakened by Fireteam Corinth's forced entry) collapsed, 
and debris landed on one of the engineers. While this did 
not convert him into an instance of 2310-A, his injuries 
did cause him to lose the use of his legs. He is the lone 
survivor of contact with SCP-2310. 


SCP-2310 is dumb. It does not try to trick its victims or 
lure anyone in. It simply relies on the human desire to 
help people. Neighbors went to check on the elderly 
couple living there, and when they didn't come out their 
friends came to look for them, and police came to look 
for them, and we came along and joined the line of 
lemmings. We thought we could get away with doing the 
same thing because we're experts. True expertise would 
have consisted of doing something different. 


The SCP Foundation does immeasurably important 
work, and usually does it extremely well. However, I've 
seen too many talented Foundation employees infected 
with the used-tissue mindset: that the threats we face are 
of such danger and immediacy that we must throw 
everything we have at them, and tally up the cost 
afterwards. 


But while the Foundation's resources are substantial, | 
can assure you they are finite. They come from 
somewhere, and if we abuse them, they will go to 
someone else. In the face of danger, we must exercise 
caution. We must be willing to lose, fall back, and fight 
another day, another way. Or the day will come when we 
pick up the phone to call for backup, and the voice on the 
other end will tell us "No." 


| look forward to working with all of you at Site 115.

Footnotes 

1. SCP-2310 has since been fully relocated to Site 115. 

2. Their association with a specific date was first observed by a 
therapist in the Foundation's employ, who noticed several instances 
of 2310-A expressing distress over the "recent" September 11 
attacks. 

3. 2310-As have expressed a preference for cognomina such as 
"Sarah Palmer the Blond" and "Sarah Palmer the Youngest" over 
the numbering system originally used. They are reluctant to answer 
to names other than Sarah Palmer, particularly their pre-conversion 
names. 

4. Later found to be women's nightwear. 

5. More commonly known as Sarah Palmer the Taller Black Guy. 

6. I'm aware that Pritchard is still lobbying for an investigation into 
cult connections. This is face-saving nonsense.

SCP-2311: Baby Wizard 


Item #: SCP-2311 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2311 is to be contained at 
the site of its discovery, the basement of a residential building in 
Rochester, New York. This residence is designated Temporary 
Satellite Site 14, with the basement acting as SCP-2311's cell until 
suitable long-term containment can be achieved. Temporary Sat- 
Site 14 is to be staffed at all times by no less than three Foundation 
operatives posing as tenants under standard "Plain Sight" cover 
protocols, with preference given to personnel who have survived at 
least one reality restructuring event. A designated developmental 
psychologist must conduct biweekly sessions with SCP-2311 in 
order to discourage breach attempts. 


Floodlights must be installed in every interior room of Temporary 
Sat-Site 14, with controls easily accessible by all personnel. In 
addition, motion-activated lights must be fitted to all building exits. 
All facility lights must be properly maintained and tested by site 
personnel on a weekly basis. 


Description: SCP-2311 is a nine-year-old human male with 
Klinefelter syndrome, Kaspar Hauser syndrome, and a ventricular 
septal defect. SCP-2311’s stunted language skills! and distinctive 
toddling gait are believed to be a result of severe social and 
emotional deprivation from an early age. SCP-2311 also exhibits 
heliophobia and aquaphobia, likely as a result of childhood trauma. 


SCP-2311 has the ability to alter matter with little regard for physical 
laws, Causality or logic. The potential magnitude of this capability is 
unknown. For what is believed to be psychological reasons, 
SCP-2311 displays diminished anomalous capacity while in a 
contented or fearful emotional state and while within the confines of 
Sat-Site 14. If either of these conditions are not met (ie., SCP-2311 


is in an angered or excited emotional state, or has left its 
containment cell in the basement of Sat-Site 14), SCP-2311 will 
begin to express its anomalous traits. If neither of these conditions 
are met, SCP-2311's breach of containment should be considered a 
potential CK-class reality restructuring event, as at this time the 
Foundation does not possess sufficient data to predict its 
capabilities or likely course of action in this scenario. 


To date, SCP-2311 has been observed to: 


Manifest and attempt to consume approximately 20 kilograms 
of La Perruche brand individually-wrapped sugar cubes. 
Inflict fatal physical harm on Foundation personnel by 
anomalous means. Injuries bear a cosmetic resemblance to 
necrosis spreading at a medically impossible rate. 
Translocate instantaneously with no regard for physical 
barriers such as the interior walls of Sat-Site 14. To date, 
SCP-2311 has not displayed any ability or willingness to 
teleport outside the confines of Sat-Site 14. 

Manifest heat and flames measured at 600°C. Flames created 
by SCP-2311 have never been observed to consume fuel or 
otherwise affect the objects around them. Despite palpable 
heat, they inflict no damage on human tissue. 

In one recorded incident, SCP-2311 emitted a stream of liquid 
at an estimated pressure of 800 kPa and temperature of 
-200°C. The liquid poured from SCP-2311’s nasal, oral and 
anal orifices for fifteen minutes, causing SCP-2311 apparent 
distress. Unlike the anomalous flames and heat generated by 
SCP-2311, the extreme cold of this liquid did affect human 
tissue as expected, inflicting nerve damage after 5 minutes of 
continuous exposure. After the liquid warmed to room 
temperature, it became indistinguishable from normal water; 
how it was able to maintain a liquid state at -200°C is not 
presently understood. 


SCP-2311's anomalous capabilities are not believed to be restricted 
to the phenomena listed above. Opportunities to observe 
SCP-2311's reality-restructuring capacity have been limited to two 
breach events since Foundation custody commenced, and to the 
circumstances of SCP-231 1's initial containment. 


Recovery Details: SCP-2311 was brought to Foundation attention 
by assets embedded in the New York State Office of Child and 
Family Services (OCFS), who were investigating SCP-231 1’s living 
conditions after neighbors reported a "yelping boy" being kept in a 
basement for religious or occult purposes. The Foundation first 
attempted to seize SCP-2311 covertly via Foundation operatives 
posing as OCFS officials working in tandem with local law 
enforcement. During the investigation, an individual believed to be 
SCP-2311’s father (hereafter designated Person of 
Interest-2311-01) detonated several homemade incendiary devices. 
Local law enforcement disengaged and Mobile Task Force Psi-7 
(“Home Improvement”) took command under standard cover 
protocol "Federal Agents." MTF Psi-7 agents entered the burning 
residence and encountered SCP-2311 displaying its anomalous 
properties. MTF Psi-7 suffered casualties but managed to contain 
SCP-2311. Pol-2311-01 died from smoke inhalation prior to Psi-7’s 
breach of the residence2. 


In the aftermath, the City of Rochester Fire Department extinguished 
the fire, and the damaged residence was acquired via a Foundation 
shell company. Containment personnel posing as contractors 
repaired the damage caused by the fire and enacted SCP-2311’s 
current special containment procedures. 


ARTIFACT MANIFEST: 2311/3 CLEARANCE REQUIRED 


¢ Numerous non-anomalous books and manuscripts 
on occult subjects, including Liber Al vel Legis, 
Kitab Sirr al-Asrar, and one hundred and eight 
copies of Tabula Smaragdina in various 
languages. 

¢ Two sets of iron restraints and one iron hobble, 
along with two unopened boxes of Rothco-brand 
plastic restraints. 

¢ The decomposed remains of an adult woman, 
found interred in a crawlspace. Genetic tests 
confirm the deceased was SCP-231 1's biological 
mother. Decomposition made it impossible to 
determine a definitive cause of death, but the 
deceased appears to have undergone a botched 


hysterectomy. 
* A double jacket, industrial-strength firehose and 
requisite plumbing. 
Plaster walls and ceiling filled with fiberglass 
insulation and resilient channels as apparent 
soundproofing measures. 
Several empty boxes of La Perruche brand 
individually-wrapped sugar cubes and attendant 
wrappers. 
¢ A bassinet, a crib, and a twin-sized mattress sans 
bedding, all badly soiled. 


RECOVERED DOCUMENT: 2311/3 CLEARANCE REQUIRED 


The following is a document believed to have been 
written by Pol-2311-01. Most of the pages in the 
notebook were filled with diagrams and nonsensical 
equations concerning occult and alchemical subjects. All 
legible text is included below; access to the original 
manuscript requires 2311/4 clearance. 


10/11/20 : Double-checked and triple-checked 
calculations. It's real. It either exists or 
theoretically could. Nothing stopping it. So 
where the fuck is it? 


10/13/20 : Found a modern Chaos Magick 
forum online. Interesting, but disagree with 
initial premise. Trouble isn't a lack of belief; | 
have a surfeit of belief. | have belief 
crystallized into evidence (double-checked, 
triple-checked, not like | can get a second 
opinion). Magick is real. The only impediment 
to its practice is an apparent paucity of 
magicians. 


10/23/20 : | tried the formula again. Genuine 
royal water this time, imported from a 
colleague in . | poured it in, and the whole 
time | was thinking nitrohydrochloric acid. | 
couldn't stop thinking nitrohydrochloric acid. 


The admixture failed, of course. 


10/24/20 : Homunculus an increasingly 
attractive option. | cannot learn the art (too 
grounded in the fundus/consensus/real), but | 
might be able to create an artist. 


10/27/20 : Started searching for suitable 
source material. Rusty. 


1/23/20 : Found suitable source material. 
Lean little thing from Cambodia. Pliant/ 
compliant. Never actually thought I’d do this, 
but | guess there’s no harm now that I’m 
looking to outsource. 


2/3/20 : Source material arrived today. Made it 
official at the courthouse. 


2/4/20 : Not really all it's cracked up to be. 
2/28/20 : No results as of yet. 

4/20/20 : No results as of yet. 

5/3/20 : No results. 


6/11/20 : No results. Failing health of source 
material a concern. 


6/15/20 : Conception! 


6/27/20 : | introduced the source material/ 
vessel to the circle. I'm no practitioner, but | 
know certain patterns/formulae/procedures 
that should allow a degree of influence over 
the unformed/incipient/unreal. The womb is 
simply that primordial void of so many creation 
myths. A vacuum paradoxically containing all 
necessities for creation. 


6/28/20 : Alterations continue, progressing 


well. Blurred gender as much as | could 
without risking critical defect; masculine + 
feminine, sun + moon, yin + yang, all that good 
shit. 


6/29/20 : Alterations continue. Parted the 
waters and drove the heart from the center. 


6/30/20 : Alterations finished. Long, 
auspicious day. Think it went well but 
impossible to tell until it decants. Vessel spent 
and disposed of. Think | earned a fucking 
drink. 


7/12/20 : No update. It'll take some time, but it 
should be ready to decant at the vernal 
equinox. Couldn't hurt, right? 


9/20/20 : Nothing to report. Would have 
expected more movement by now. Doubt is 
poison. 


10/13/20 : Nothing to report. 


11/12/20 : Remembered an interesting bit of 
Paracelsus, looked it up today: “That the 
sperm of a man be putrefied by itself in a 
sealed cucurbit for forty days with the highest 
degree of putrefaction in a horse’s womb, or at 
least so long that it comes to life and moves 
itself and stirs...” Ha! Could’ve just used a 
horse. 


12/3/20 : Sweet Christ it’s working. 
1/1/20 : Happy new year. 


2/15/20 : Growth continues. Worried it would 
grow too fast, miss our special date, but it 
seems to have normalized/plateaued. 


3/3/20 : Speech of God = creation/absolute 


destruction. Say "light" and light separated 
from darkness, say "day" and "night" and they 
were thereafter day and night. This was the 
first speech and it was perfect/powerful/true. 
Things were not divorced from their names 
and language was a lie nobody had invented 
yet. 


3/10/20 : Beginning final preparations for 
decantation. Growth has abated, little 
movement. 


3/15/20 : Second was the speech of 
embryonic Adam. Lesser, of course, but say 
"sheep" and sheep. Say "tree" and tree. Itis a 
speech that sculpted things, carved them in 
that warm paradise of infantile ignorance/non- 
being/clay. Eden, containing all necessities for 
creation. Eden, where mankind was nascent 
and incomplete. Eden, before she came 
bearing the poison of knowledge. 


3/17/20 : The basement/creche/temple is 
ready. Hose took the most work, but spare the 
rod and spoil the child, right? 


3/18/20 : No movement. Concerned. 


3/19/20 : Language fractured when Babel fell. 
We lost the speech of Adam, but it can be 
regained. Language castrates, knowledge 
blinds, and nitrohydrochloric acid is a leaden 
weight on my will but you can be free. Here is 
a thing | call “night,” little homunculus. Teach 
me its true name. Here is a thing | call “day.” 
Teach me or I'll turn on the hose. 


3/20/20 : Decanted. Stunted but viable. Now 
the real work starts, little Adam.

SCP-2312: A Petty King 


Item #: SCP-2312 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Tau-20 
("Turkish Recon") is tasked with identifying SCP-2312 instances. 
Areas with identified SCP-2312 instances are to be cordoned off 
under the pretence of a Cyprus Turkish Peace Force Command 
training area. In cooperation with the Turkish Republic of Northern 
Cyprus’ (TRNC)! government, appropriate counter-Extranormal 
Events measures are to be enacted against all 2312-Eris Events. 


Update (05/05/2004): TRNC's de facto sovereignty is to be upheld, 
as defined by the current borders claimed by it. 


Description: SCP-2312 refers to a series of carvings found on the 
surface of the Kyrenia Mountains referencing an individual named 
"King Pan" (designated SCP-2312-A); instances typically manifest 
once per month. SCP-2312 instances are written in Koine Greek, 
and styled as decrees from SCP-2312-A. Although its identity and 
existence cannot be ascertained, SCP-2312-A is inferred to be a 
monarch claiming rulership over a "Kingdom of All Cypruses". 


When an SCP-2312 instance manifests, a corresponding 
Extranormal Event will occur (designated 2312-Eris Event). All 2312- 
Eris Events are localised within TRNC-controlled territory. Removal 
of SCP-2312 does not prevent occurrence of 2312-Eris Events. 
Below are several examples of SCP-2312 instances and 
corresponding 2312-Eris Events; compilation is restricted to Level 
23/2312 clearance.

red samurai revealed it to be made of rock candy, with a raspberry 
flavor.

SCP-2313: Sensory Deprivation 


Item #: SCP-2313 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2313-1 instances are to 
be contained in secured individual cells. Unless approved by the 
SCP-2313 project director for testing purposes, direct physical 
contact with SCP-2313-1 instances is prohibited. 


Transport involving an SCP-2313-1 instance requires prior approval 
from the SCP-2313 project director. SCP-2313-1 instances must 
wear a hazardous materials suit of level B or better during transport. 


Description: SCP-2313 is a sensory disorder that prevents stimuli 
from the visual and auditory systems from being properly processed 
by the brain. Sufferers of SCP-2313, referred to as SCP-2313-1, 
display the symptoms of blindness and deafness. Excluding auditory 
and visual stimuli, SCP-2313-1 instances appear to process all 
sensory perception normally. Attempts to circumvent these disorders 
via any means, including use of SCP-2077 has so far been met with 
failure. 


SCP-2313 differs from normal sensory processing disorders in that it 
may be spread to other individuals through an anomalous process. 
Any individual that comes into direct physical contact with an 
instance of SCP-2313-1 will become an additional instance of 
SCP-2313-1. 


+ Additional Notes 


¢ Subsequent to a significant reduction of 
SCP-2313-1 instances as a result of incident 
2313-14, the following messages were found in 
Director Carter's voice mailbox. The entities 
speaking in these messages have been 


designated SCP-2313-3. The following audio logs 
are unedited and were both were received within 
seconds of the other. 


Transcript: 

SCP-2313-3-A: Hello there! It's *static* from 
the Human Resources department of *static* 
Company. Our records indicate you terminated 
several of our employees after a recent 
incident. So first of all I'd like to apologize for 
the problems our employees caused, but those 
were company resources so the Foundation is 
going to have to compensate us for them. We 
have a couple of simple payment plans 
available, you just call me back and I'll walk 
you through it. It's a toll free number

department. Just give me a call. 
6-2800-55-40505. Ask for *static*. Thanks! 


Following receipt of these messages, contact with 
SCP-2313-3 using the information provided was 
attempted. While several hours of audio have been 
recorded, no contact has been made with any 
entities at the number provided in the messages. 
The following is a log of attempt 2.

In addition to the symptoms associated with SCP-2313, instances 
receive twice monthly payments addressed to their primary 
residence from an unknown source. If an instance's primary 
residence changes, future envelopes will be addressed to the new 
residence. Each envelope contains 67 US Dollars and a note 
reading "SENSORY CONFISCATION/REASSIGNMENT 
COMPENSATION" along with a 7 digit number unique to each 
SCP-2313-1 instance. 


Within 6 weeks of the death of any SCP-2313-1 instance, members 
of an instance's immediate family will receive a payment from a 
similar source. The amount of these payments has varied, with the 
highest value seen to be 3,467 US Dollars and the lowest value 
seen to be 45 US Dollars. 


All attempts to trace the source of these payments have failed, 
though the sequential nature of the numbers associated with the 
payments indicate at least 12 SCP-2313-1 instances are 
unaccounted for. 


Incident Report 2313-125 
+ Show Report 


Following a routine reduction of accumulated 
SCP-2313-1 instances, the Foundation intercepted a 
delivery to an SCP-2313-1 instance's widow, herself 
suffering from deafness since early childhood. The 
delivery contained a payment of 286 dollars and a box 
containing the following letter. 


Hearing is important to the well being of all 
sentients and you have been without it for too

SCP-2314: Npoext Cre6enbuatbin [nas 


Item #: SCP-2314 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-2314 specimens are to 
be kept in a dormant state in Level 4 Biological Hazard Cryogenic 
units at Biological Research Site-129. All specimens and infested 
hosts are to be handled exclusively by personnel wearing Level B 
hazmat suits, and all personnel involved in the handling of 
SCP-2314 are to be scanned by MRI for possible infestation both 
before and after testing procedures. 


SCP-2314-1 is to be contained in an M-Type Humanoid Anomaly 
Containment Cell (M-HACC). SCP-2314-1 is to be regularly 
interviewed to determine if usable intelligence has been received 
and/or if new instances of SCP-2314 have been detected by it. At 
least one member of the Foundation Intelligence Agency is to be 
present during interviewing. 


Description: SCP-2314 is a genetically modified species of 
roundworm most closely related to Caenorhabditis elegans. 
Specimens of SCP-2314 rarely grow larger than 0.7mm and, unlike 
C. elegans, lack all reproductive systems. Outside of a host, 
SCP-2314 has a natural lifespan of approximately 36 hours. After 
being introduced to the host by ingestion, SCP-2314 burrows 
through its host's soft tissues and seeks out the optic chiasm. 
SCP-2314 attaches itself using a series of small appendages and 
burrows into the optic orbital area to encapsulate itself with the 
surrounding tissue. This process takes between 3-7 days, during 
which SCP-2314 actively suppresses the host's T-helper Type 1 
(Th1) cells in order to pacify the immune system. Afflicted subjects 
manifest no significant symptoms during this phase. Vivisection of 
extracted specimens has revealed the presence of human genetic 
material in SCP-2314, notably glial cells and neurons, replacing the 
organism's simple brain. 


Out of 24 DNA samples extracted from SCP-2314 specimens 
removed from compromised individuals, 2 have been linked to 
SCP-2314-1. At this point in time it is unclear whether or not 
SCP-2314 specimens linked to SCP-2314-1 exist outside of 
Foundation control. This cannot be ruled out however and in 
accordance with inter-organizational intelligence protocols, other 
organizations at risk have been briefed. 


Foundation-wide emergency MRIs have revealed at least 37 
personnel compromised, including Field Agents, Senior Research 
Staff, Mobile Task Force personnel, and a limited number of Site 
Directors. Personnel found compromised by SCP-2314 have been 
subjected to a specialized surgical procedure to remove SCP-2314 
specimens, and administered Class Delta amnestics to ensure full 
operational capacity following surgery. Patients do not experience 
any residual consequences from this surgery. 


SCP-2314-1 is one Marlena Toropova, born 06/03/1982, Shatoy, 
Chechnya. SCP-2314-1 claims to have been a member of a GRU 
Division "P" Remote Viewing Division stationed at OKB-16.1 


SCP-2314-1 illegally entered the United States of America on / 
/19 and became an American citizenon / /19 after a pardon 
issued by President George H.W. Bush. Information obtained from 

SCP-2314-1 points to a discontinued surveillance project by GRU 
Division "P" under codename "Project Eyestalk"2, utilizing and 
manipulating identical twins in order to establish an undetectable 
communication channel for use in international and inter- 
organizational intelligence operations. SCP-2314-1 has delivered 
satisfactory evidence confirming at the very least the existence of 
SCP-2314 and the communication between it and a remote viewer. 


SCP-2314-1 indicates receiving transmissions from SCP-2314 
instances incorporating the DNA of its identical twin (one Olga 
Toropova, deceased), showing it scenes observed by compromised 
individuals. Images are described by the subject to overlap natural 
visual input. SCP-2314-1 indicates it was required to report on these 
scenes in writing during its time at OKB-16, and has kept a large 
number of notebooks during the years after its departure from that 
site. These notebooks have been taken into custody and are 
currently being examined to determine the extent of possible 


intelligence leaks to GRU Division "P". The exact magnitude of this 
is currently unknown. Aside from SCP-2314-1, no living receivers 
have been recovered at this point, though it is impossible to rule out 
that others like SCP-2314-1 remain outside of Foundation control. 


Interview 2314-1: At 9:02 on / /20 , SCP-2314-1 presented itself 
at the front desk for Seven Sisters Productions‘, asking to speak to 


Agent , the current SFCL (Senior Front Company Liaison) for 
Seven Sisters Productions. SCP-2314-1 was immediately taken into 
custody when it began reciting Agent 's service record. The 


following preliminary interview took place several hours later. 


Interviewer: Chief Security Officer S.T.H Camden, 
Agent 

Interviewed: SCP-2314-1 

Witnessing: Security Officer B.F. Greaves, Security 
Officer Q.W. Van Dijk 


<Begin Log> 


C.S.O. Camden: Okay, let's begin. Who are you? We 
have no idea where you came from, but you just waltzed 
straight into Seven Sisters Productions spouting 
classified information. 


SCP-2314-1: My name is Marlena Toropova and | have 
seen this place many times. | need to speak to someone 
in charge. 


C.S.O. Camden: Well, you'll have to make do with me 
for now. Greaves, get me everything you can on miss 
Toropova here. (S.O. Greaves leaves the interrogation 
room) Now then, you say you saw this place before. How 
is that? Have you had us under surveillance? Who do 
you work for? 


SCP-2314-1: I-| do not work for anyone, Mr. Camden. | 
will tell you exactly what my business here is...but not 
before | meet with Agent 


C.S.O. Camden: Regardless of how you know who he 


is, will not be joining us. Like | said, you'll have to 
make do. 


SCP-2314-1: Fine, you are forcing me to do this, Mr. 
Camden. You nearly failed your last physical because of 
your habit of- 


C.S.O. Camden: (becomes visibly agitated) Look, who's 
been narking? Was it Jones? Little F- 


SCP-2314-1: (interrupts) Get Agent .lamnota 
threat, | swear... 


C.S.O. Camden: The hell you are. Sit there and don't 
move. (Camden leaves the room) 


Interview was paused for approximately 36 minutes as C.S.O. 
Camden conferred. 


(C.S.O. Camden reenters the interrogation room with 
Agent ) 


C.S.O. Camden: (C.S.O. Camden turns to Agent ) 
This is miss Marlena Toropova. She's all yours. 


(C.S.O. Camden exits room and joins S.O. van Dijk to 
monitor the interview) 


Agent : Good morning, miss Toropova. You've 
managed to spook our security staff quite adequately, | 
have to say. You can call me , though it seems like 
you- well, you already know that. I'm going to keep this 
as brief as possible. We have a vehicle waiting to 
transfer you to a more secure location after this 
interview. 


SCP-2314-1: Yes. To Site-88. 


Agent : (pauses) Right. Of course. Now, on what 
agenda have you come here? 


SCP-2314-1: | am here to tell you about what you would

call a...scip? Is that how you Say it? | have seen the 
word, but never heard it pronounced. 


Agent : It's a colloquialism, but yes, that's how you 
pronounce it. Now, what would this be about exactly 
then? And | do have to remind you that it's no good lying 
to us. We will get the truth from you anyway, but it'll be 
much more pleasant if you cooperate. 


SCP-2314-1: | know, | have seen your methods. | was a 
part of a GRU-P Remote Viewing Division, a project. 
They...they did terrible things to us, to me. You are 
compromised, Agent 


Agent : Remote viewing? Really? And how am | 
compromised, miss Toropova? 


SCP-2314-1: With my own eyes | can see through yours, 
Agent . |can tell you your wife is a pretty blonde, 
but the years of being your rock at home have taken their 
toll. She's weary and you fight a lot lately. You have 
three children, one boy, two girls. Twins actually. You- 


Agent : (shaken) Fine. Jesus. Enough of that. And 
how did you come by this intelligence? 


SCP-2314-1: | have already told you. But | will tell you 
our story. | will tell you our story, and then you can ask 
your questions. Please, just hear me out. 


Agent : (sighs and leans back) How nice of you. 
Go ahead, you have my attention. 


SCP-2314-1: Thank you. (pauses) It was a long time 
ago. My sister and | came home from school and there 
was aman waiting for us. My mother was nervous. | did 
not know the man, and | do not think my mother did 
either. All she said was that the man was here to take us 
to a special place, that we were special and gifted, and 
that we should obey. The man did not say anything. He 
took us outside, pulling us along when we tried to resist. | 


could hear my mother crying behind me. Outside was a 
military vehicle and he made us get in. We were not 
alone in there. There were at least 10 more children, all 
twins like my sister and me. 


Agent : Did you know where you were being 
taken? 


SCP-2314-1: One of the special work camps, out in the 
Siberian wastes. The guards told us when we asked. 
They called it OKB-16. When we arrived, it wasn't that 
bad. There was little to do outside, but we were greeted 
by a group of women who promised to take good care of 
us. And they did, we never lacked toys or food and drink. 
They kept promising us our parents would visit, but they 
never did. 


Agent : So how long did you and your sister stay 
at this OKB-16? 


SCP-2314-1: |...we were there for 5 years. My sister and 
| were together for 3 of those years. We were educated 
by the Mothers, as they called themselves, and almost 
every day we would get escorted to the main building, 
where the doctors would inject us with some medicine, or 
perform tests, or observe us, or make us do exercises, 
such as trying to guess what the other was thinking. 
They made it into games, we enjoyed that. They said it 
was so we could become heroes to our country. We 
learned the routine and it was simple. 


(SCP-2314-1 pauses) 


SCP-2314-1: We missed our mother and father, but we 
were told every day that we were doing great work, that 
mama and papa were proud of us. So we did as we were 
told, it just worked that way, every day. Sometime in | 
think it was '87, my sister and | were led to a section of 
the main building we had not been in before. It was like a 
hospital. We were both terrified, and we were separated 
by the doctors. | was taken to a warm room with a nice 


bed and a television. My sister disappeared to another 
room, behind a large door that had strange symbols on 
it. That is the last | saw of her. They told me my parents 
had asked to take her home and that they had been 
allowed to. | was very upset and angry at my parents for 
leaving me. | know better now. | saw the graves with 
their names on it. And | also know what happened to my 
sister. 


Agent : Excuse me, but | am still not sure how this 
is relevant to your visit here. 


SCP-2314-1: Dreams, Agent , dreams. At least, at 
first | thought they were. During the first night after my 
sister's disappearance, | could not sleep for all the 
images | was seeing, all on top of each other. They were 
very confusing, but | could not get them out, even when | 
closed my eyes. | did not sleep that night. When | told 
the mothers the next day, they seemed very happy, and 
soon | was visited by the doctors again. They seemed 
very happy too. After that, more twins were broken up. 
Sometimes both of them disappeared, sometimes one 
would stay, like me, and one would disappear. In the 
end, there were only 4 of us left. | only managed to get 
away because of the confusion when the Spetsnaz 
came. 


Agent : The Spetsnaz? 


SCP-2314-1: They arrived in the night, but | had seen 
them coming. My sist- | will get to this, Agent 
Bear with me. 


Agent : Fine. You got out. So, you had "visions"? 
How did that work? 


SCP-2314-1: Well, at first...at first | couldn't tell because 
everything ran together, but as time went on, | was 
trained to ignore what | saw with my own eyes and focus 
on the other images. To separate the layers if that makes 
sense. Of the four of us left, only two were able to do 


this. The others, they disappeared when they went mad. 
All except for Ilya and me. And llya...He died when he 
was only 9. 


Agent : Right. And what did you see in your 
visions? 


SCP-2314-1: | saw old, fat men drinking and smoking, 
and...| saw other men and women die, Mr. . |Saw 
them die through the eyes of their killers. 


Agent : So, what are you saying, miss Toropova? 
They made you into a psychic? 


SCP-2314-1: | am not, no. A psychic, their gift is one that 
would have been born with them, one that they could 
nourish throughout their lives, but this- this is not a gift. 
This was thrust on me, Mr. , the same way they 
took my sister Olga and made her into a tool, a way to 
spy on their targets. She is- She is inside many people, 
the eyes that | see through when | sleep and when | 
wake. She is within you, Agent 


Agent : Now wait just a min- 


SCP-2314-1: N-No! Every minute | wait, my sister 
suffers. You need to get her out. Now! 


Agent : Miss Toropova, | do not have your sis- 


SCP-2314-1: (interrupts) You were compromised in '89, | 
think that's right, yes, on your trip to Prague. | saw you 
beat that man to death in Botié-Mili€ov park. You cried. | 
know, because my sister showed me. Please, get her out 
and give her a final resting place. Let us both rest, 
please. 


Agent : (visibly shaking) Uh, Camden, you, 
please, | need you to take over here. Prep the subject for 
transport, and I, | need to- 


<END LOG> 


Addendum: Following Interview 2314-1, SCP-2314-1 was taken to 
Site-8s for further debriefing. Several personnel were tested for 
foreign DNA based on intelligence from SCP-2314-1, and a medical 
protocol was developed for use in all scheduled physical exams. All 
instances of SCP-2314 with DNA matched to SCP-2314-1 were 
scheduled to be removed from all hosts for burial, while instances 
with DNA not matched to SCP-2314-1 were either kept for research 
purposes or incinerated according to the HazB-Inf/142b protocol. 


Over the subsequent 2 months, Foundation personnel were 
operated on to remove instances of SCP-2314 from their optic 
chiasm. All operations were successful. Further infestations are 
being actively monitored by both the Foundation and other 
organizations, both national and international, that were determined 
to be likely to have been compromised. Research into the extent 
and details of Project Eyestalk is ongoing. Efforts to replicate the 
effects of SCP-2314 are currently being discussed.

SCP-2315: Mother Always Knows 


Item #: SCP-2315 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2315 is kept in a standard 
containment locker at Site-17. Personnel are advised never to 
answer SCP-2315 except as required for testing. All calls received 
by SCP-2315 must be logged and reported to MTF Upsilon-3 ("The 
Phone Company") immediately for an attempt to trace the call. All 
personnel who report a call must also report their age, location of 
their mother, and status of relations with her. 


Note from Principal Researcher Perry: Given the events of prior 
calls, pinpointing the source of the call is considered the top priority 
when SCP-2315 undergoes testing. Do not test SCP-2315 without 
informing MTF Upsilon-3. 


Description: SCP-2315 is a factory standard iPhone 6 with no 
noticeable marks on the exterior or interior of the object. The phone 
does not have a lock code nor password. 


SCP-2315 operates normally until placed in a room with a single 
subject below the age of 30 whose biological mother is still alive. 
When these requirements are met, the phone will ring displaying a 
caller identification of "Mother." When answered, a voice 
(designated SCP-2315-1) can be heard on the phone. Subjects 
describe SCP-2315-1 as the voice of their mother and can converse 
freely with it. Triangulation methods have reduced the target range 
of the source of the phone call to somewhere within 1 km of the 
subject's biological mother, but all attempts at pinpointing the call 
from there have failed to date. 


Subjects who meet the above criteria at later dates will continue to 
receive calls from SCP-2315-1 at a rate of one per day. Subjects 
report feeling increasingly uneasy with each successive call. 


The general pattern of phone calls are as follows: 


¢ The first call is uneventful, although subjects report 


Addendum: Experiment Log : D-135 was instructed to enter an 
empty containment cell holding SCP-2315 on a table and await 
further instruction. Microphones throughout the cell were used to 


SCP-2315-1 as disapproving, but still supportive. 
During the second call, SCP-2315-1 talks about topics that 
distress the subject. Subjects report that it becomes 
increasingly more hostile throughout the call. 
SCP-2315-1 is both extremely hostile towards the subject and 
proclaiming its love and support for the subject during the third 
call. Common events include yelling, screaming, and requests 
for dangerous activities from the subject until the subject 
either hangs up or expires. The third call has been recorded 
as capable of continuing for hours without rest.

SCP-2315-1: Thomas? Thomas? Is that really 
you? 


D-135: M-Mom? 


SCP-2315-1: Oh, Thomas, that is you! Oh, | 
never thought I'd hear your voice again after 
they took you to prison. 


D-135: Me neither, Mom! | never thought I'd 
miss your voice so much! 


SCP-2315-1: Neither did |, Thomas. You never 
listened to me when you were around. 


D-135: Huh? 


SCP-2315-1: Oh, you heard me. You just had 
to spend all your time with those people, didn't 
you? Nothing good was ever going to come

going to get you in trouble and drop you like 
yesterday's trash. And you just had to rob that 
store, didn't you? | know, you told me it was an 
accident, you never meant to... hurt that kind 
old man behind the counter, but you did, and 
your friends bolted, and here you are, rotting 
away, bringing shame to me and your family. If 
only you'd listened to me and stayed away 
from them, none of this would have happened. 
It's all right that you didn't have a proper job. 
We'd have taken care of each other until you 
did. But now I've got to think just how lonely it 
is without you, every day... 


D-135: No! M-Mom, please, | know things look 
bad, but... | made a deal, Mom! I'll be getting 
out in a month! | can come by and... take care 
of you, and I'll be better, | swear! 


SCP-2315-1: Really, Thomas? What sort of 
deal? Are you going to escape? 


D-135: No, Mom! It's a legit deal! I'm helping 
out with a few things for some people, legit 
things, and I'll be released for good behavior! 


SCP-2315-1: You'd better not be lying to me, 
young man. 


D-135: No! | swear! It's the truth! 


SCP-2315-1: Really? Oh, that's wonderful 
news! I'll get your old room all prepared and 
we can be together as a family again! | love 
you, Thomas, | hope you know that. Please, 
stay good and don't screw this up! 


D-135: Yes'm. 


SCP-2315-1: Good. It's so good to hear your 
voice again, Thomas. 


<End Log> 


Discussion: D-135 was interviewed for identification to 
his biological mother and returned to his cell. Agent 
Washington was dispatched to arrive at D-135's mother's 
residence and observe if she undergoes any changes or 
shows awareness regarding the phone call. MTF 
Upsilon-3 is prepared to track the source of the call, 
given the expectation that it will occur within 1 km of 
D-135's mother's residence.

all the things you're exposed to? If they didn't 
kill you, you'll probably sprout extra eyes or get 
eaten by some spider or grow a creepy mask 
instead of a proper face, and then where are 
you? 


D-135: Mom! No! They just want me to answer

like you and feed you to these monsters to 
figure out how exactly they work. You're 
doomed, listening to these doctors in their little 
white coats. Who is that watching you, Dr. 
Perry? 


D-135: Uh, yeah, | think so, Mom... How do 
you know that? 


SCP-2315-1: I'm your mother, Thomas. / 
know. Just leave things to me. I'll get you out 
of there. You're going to be fine. Do not trust 
those people, Thomas. Do you hear me? 


D-135: | hear you, Mom. 


SCP-2315-1: Good. For once in your life. And 
your life depends on it.

Discussion: Agent Washington confirms that he was 
with D-135's mother during the call, but that she did not 
call anyone nor exhibit any atypical behavior indicating a 
call. He further denied discussing the Foundation with 
her. Given the fact that the call uses facts about the 
Foundation, priority has been placed to trace the call. All 
traces have failed. The possibility that Agent Washington 
is being untruthful about his role and D-135's mother's 
activity is considered. A second detail is dispatched to 
covertly observe and record D-135's mother and 
corroborate his story. Agent Washington was instructed 
to return to Site-17 the next day. 


D-135 was hostile to being returned to his cell and has to 
be escorted under sedation. He is to be isolated and 
watched until tomorrow. 


Priority given to call tracing. This may bea 


breach in process. -Site Director 
+ Day 3 


Researcher: Dr. Perry 
Subject: D-135 


<Begin Log> 
D-135: Hi, Mom? 


SCP-2315-1: Yes, Thomas, dear. It's your 
mother. 


D-135: They drugged me and kept a guard 
posted outside my cell last night, Mom. 


SCP-2315-1: | know, dear. They know you 
know the truth. 


D-135: W-what am | going to do, Mom? 


SCP-2315-1: Well. | was able to speak more 
to Agent Washington last night and he told me 
about the object they have contained in the 
cell next to the one you're presently in. You 
need to cause the object next door to breach. 
You'll be able to escape when they try to 
contain the breach. 


D-135: Okay, Mom, how am | supposed to do 
that? 


SCP-2315-1: It feeds on blood, Thomas. 
You're going to have to bleed for it, and it will 
come for you. Can you do that for me, 
Thomas? 


D-135: But... How am | going to bleed, Mom? 


SCP-2315-1: Scratch your arm on the corner 
of the table in this room, then bite deeper into 


the scratch to open yourself up. It is going to 
hurt, but you have to be brave for Mother. Can 
you do this for me? 


D-135: Okay... This sounds completely crazy, 
Mom. Why am | doing this? 


SCP-2315-1: Oh, Thomas... You're doing this 
because you've made bad decision after bad 
decision your entire life. You couldn't complete 
school. You couldn't get a job. You had to turn 
to a life of crime and you were too stupid not to 
get caught. But that wasn't crazy enough for 
you, now, was it, Thomas? No. Then you had 
to go and jump on the first insane idea to come 
along. Don't you remember just how plastic 
that recruiter looked? How they corralled you 
all into that room? You even saw that weird 
necklace that one man was wearing. 
Everything looked wrong to you. But no, you 
jumped at that. You couldn't listen to your dear 
mother at any time ever, but you could listen to 
that doctor with the too-wide grin. | only 
wanted what's best for you for your entire life, 
and you could only listen to negligent 
predators who want nothing more than to harm 
you in ways you can't even imagine. 


D-135: I'm sorry, Mom! | love you, Mom! 


SCP-2315-1: | love you too, Thomas. And 
that's why you're going to bleed for the object 
next door now. Draw a pentagram on the wall 
with your blood. I'll tell you what to write. 


<End Log> 


Discussion: D-135 proceeded to open a vein in his left 
arm, and began painting his blood on the containment 
cell wall attempting to draw a pentagram with 
[REDACTED]. With his right hand, he kept SCP-2315 


close to his ear. D-135 cried and continued to draw for 5 
minutes, 32 seconds before collapsing from blood loss. 
Guards and paramedics entered to stabilize D-135 and 
escort him to the infirmary while retrieving SCP-2315. 


Agent Washington informed researchers that he did 
provide his phone number to D-135's mother, and she 
did call him the night previous to the events of Day 3. He 
reports that the call was specifically about D-135's 
history and how his mother misses him. Agent 
Washington reports never mentioning items in 
containment with D-135's mother. Agent Washington's 
call logs were examined, and revealed a 20 minute call 
between him and D-135's mother. Transcripts of the call 
were corrupted and could not be reconstructed. Agent 
Washington has been placed under surveillance pending 
investigation of breach of disclosure agreements. 


The covert surveillance team reports that D-135's mother 
was at her residence, on the phone during the call of Day 
3. She appeared relaxed and unstressed. Unexplained 
audio interference prevented recording of D-135's 
mother. MTF Upsilon-3 was unable to pinpoint the 
source of the call to SCP-2315, but was able to reduce 
the area to within 300 meters of D-135's mother's 
residence. 


Researchers note that the room on the other side of the 
wall on which D-135 drew held supplies for conferences 
and seminars (tables, chairs, projection equipment) and 
was not used for containment. The room was emptied 
and its contents examined for anomalous characteristics. 
In addition to the standard supplies, a blister containing 
half of an Apple A8 processor! and 40 ml of aetheric 
[REDACTED] was found on the opposite side of the wall 
next to SCP-2315's containment locker and D-135's 
pentagram. Unlike previously held samples of 
[REDACTED], the material had a characteristic floral 
scent, which D-135 later identified as his mother's 
favorite perfume. 


In the interest of preventing a Uranus event?, SCP-2315 
has been moved to the Euclid wing and the conference 
storage room emptied until further notice. 


ENTER CREDENTIALS: INCIDENT 2315-D 
Incident Number: 2315-D 

Subject: Agent Rashaun Washington 
Objects Involved: SCP-2315 


Summary: Agent Washington made an unauthorized 
entry into SCP-2315's temporary containment chamber. 
Automatic surveillance equipment recorded Agent 
Washington grabbing SCP-2315 when it rang and 
answered the call. The following conversation was 
recorded. 


<Begin Log> 
Washington: Hello there. 


SCP-2315-1: Rashaun? Is that you? It's your 
mother. 


Washington: You're not my mother. 


SCP-2315-1: Rashaun! What kind of a 
greeting is that? 


Washington: Listen, | know you weren't Mrs. 
Hintz when you were calling him. | was there. 
She never called when he picked up. | never 
told her anything about the Foundation, but 
somehow, you know all about us. | don't know 
how you keep managing to keep up this 
plausible deniability, why people's real mom 
just might be calling, but | know that's not 
what's happening, so you can just drop this 
mother game and talk to me straight. You. Are. 


Not. My. Mother. 


SCP-2315-1: Well, you certainly ain't no son of 
mine, because | taught my kids proper respect 
growing up. What, Foundation? You always 
told me you got a job with the feds. Is the truth 
coming out now? Are you ready to stop lying to 
me? Or did you get too chummy with that 
Mexican hit man? 


Washington: What? I-| never talked about 
him. 


SCP-2315-1: Oh, but that sort of thing is clear 
on a boy's face when he comes home for 
Christmas. Sirens made you so jumpy, | knew 
you were up to no good. Mother always 
knows, Rashaun. You can't keep secrets from 
me. 


Washington: Information transfer... visual, 
network, anomalous... 


SCP-2315-1: Oh, no. I'm not letting you 
withdraw now, Rashaun. You're a grown man, 
no hiding in the cupboard reciting your 
multiplication tables anymore. We're having a 
conversation, and you're going to respond to 
me and talk to your mother like a goddamned 
adult! 


Washington: All knowledge - knowledge of 
subject's mother, knowledge of mother's 
whereabouts, knowledge of environs, secrets 
held by each party, all information transfer 
requires the proximity of an appropriate 
transmitter and receiver, whether by sight, 
sound, radio, networks, or anomalous.... 


SCP-2315-1: | don't believe it. You really are 
just going to pretend you're seven again, and 


hide in the cupboard. The lies and secrets just 
keep going on, don't they? When are you 
going to grow up, Rashaun? 


Washington: No, Mom! You're just sucking in 
knowledge from everyone near the phone, or 
near their mother, somehow. But why? Are 
you an infovore or something? Why did you 
make Thomas draw that pentagram? Is this all 
just a ploy to get us to summon something? 
Do you just want to make us feel bad? Is that 
why you lied about killing the D-class and all? 


SCP-2315-1: Infovore? Feel bad? Pentagram? 
Did you just call me the devil? Darling, no! 
What kind of a son calls their own mother the 
devil?! Oh, Rashaun, my lovely little boy! Do 
you know what you're doing to your mother? 


Washington: You're not my mother. 
SCP-2315-1: ...Because | do. 
<End Log> 


Discussion: Agent Washington turned himself in 
immediately after the encounter with SCP-2315, 
accepting an official reprimand and requesting 
psychological counseling. Further investigation cleared 
him of any wrongdoing with regards to his performance 
during the testing with D-135. 


Additional commentary: D-135's mother was 
diagnosed with a supratemporal meningioma 
approximately 10 months after his testing with 
SCP-2315. Surgery was successful in removing the 
tumor. The tumor demonstrated RF transmission along 
802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth v4.0, A-GPS, and NFC 
protocols. Agent Washington's mother has been placed 
under medical watch. - Dr. Perry

Description: SCP-2316 is the designation for an anomalous 
phenomenon existing within Lake within County, 
SCP-2316 manifests as a group of human corpses! floating in a 
small group at the surface of the water. The identities of these 
corpses are [COGNITOHAZARD REMOVED] [Automated Change: 
UNKNOWN], though DNA testing has been inconclusive. 


While SCP-2316 appears to be individual instances, it is theorized 
that SCP-2316 may instead be an entity composed of a collective 
consciousness. Individual instances of SCP-2316 do not act on their 
own, but do seem to be able to act collectively as a2 single unit. The 
individual instances of SCP-2316 are? unrecognizable, and you do
