SCP-001 » Dr Clef's Proposal
SCP-001 photographed from the vantage point at Site 0. Note the four flaming "wing"
appendages located above and to either side of the figure.
Item #: SCP-001
Object Class: Euclid/Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Because of the nature of SCP-001, no containment procedures are necessary. 24/7 monitoring of SCP-001
is to take place from a safe (10 km+) distance from a pre-determined location (Site 0). The location of Site 0 is known only to the
current SCP Administrator and the single Overseer-level Agent of Abrahamic faith (O5-14) assigned to monitor SCP-001 from Site 0. Said
Agent is authorized to take any action necessary should SCP-001 become active, and is required to immediately alert the Administrator
and all other Overseer-level agents should SCP-001 show any change in behavior, as this may constitute the beginning of a PATMOS XK-
class end-of-the-world scenario.
Should SCP-001 become active in any way, personnel are required to immediately consult the Patmos series of Emergency Orders. Decoding
algorithms for Emergency Order Patmos are to be maintained on-site at Site 0 in the possession of the designated observer, and are to
be transmitted to SCP Foundation offices only in the event of SCP-001 becoming active. Foundation Personnel with vital roles in one or
more variants of Emergency Procedure PATMOS are to be advised to take the following precautions:
To maintain good relations with one or more organized Abrahamic faiths.

To maintain, on hand, a supply of the following: holy water, a rosary, crucifix, cross, prayer rug, or other symbol blessed by
an Abrahamic cleric of bishop or equivalent higher rank, a copy of Abrahamic scriptures (Torah, Bible, Quran), and standard
emergency supplies in mobile form (bug-out bag).
In case of a premillenial rapture scenario, all vital personnel are to designate a secondary operative of non-Abrahamic faith.
Said secondary operative is to be informed of the location of the primary designate's copy of Emergency Procedure PATMOS and
memetic kill agent innoculant, and is to be kept on ready status to take over the primary's duties as necessary.
To maintain familiarity with all other SCPs involved in possible PATMOS XK-class end-of-the-world scenarios.
Description: SCP-001 is a humanoid entity, approximately seven hundred (700) cubits in height, located in an undisclosed location near
the intersection of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The following features are known about the entity:
A number of luminous, wing-like appendages emerging from the shoulders, back, temples, ankles, and wrists of the entity.
Although an accurate count has never been established, most observers place the number of wings at anywhere from two (2)
through one hundred and eight (108), with the mean number being four (4).
A weapon, possibly a sword or knife (SCP-001-2). The weapon appears to emit flames at a temperature rivaling that of the sun,
based on spectrographic analysis, although there appear to be no destructive effects from the intense heat on the surrounding
area. Any entity that approaches within 1 km of SCP-001 is immediately struck by the weapon and obliterated from existence. Any
and all hostile actions taken towards SCP-001 have resulted in the annihilation of the attacker, regardless of range (see
incident report re: Indian Ocean Submarine Missile Experiment, December 26, 2004)
SCP-001 appears to be standing with its head bowed in a gesture of supplication with SCP-001-2 held in both hands point-down in
front of it. Since originally recorded by the Founder over [DATA REDACTED] years ago, SCP-001 has not deviated from this
stance.
Human beings exposed to SCP-001 report hearing a voice in their heads, giving them a directive which the subject reports cannot
be disobeyed. The most common directive is "FORGET", which results in the subject walking away from SCP-001 with no memory of
having encountered it. On rare occasions, however, other directives have been given: the most famous of these is the one given
to the Founder ("PREPARE"), which he has claimed formed the impetus for founding [DATA REDACTED] to catalog and contain any and
all supernatural and/or paranormal artifacts that represent a serious threat to the current existence of humanity. This is the
organization now known as the SCP Foundation.
Observers have reported that SCP-001 appears to be standing in front of a gate of immense proportions. Long-range photographs
have occasionally detected what appears to be a pastoral grove within, containing numerous other entities of the same
composition as SCP-001, as well as several fruit trees of unknown composition. Of particular note are two fruit trees of
immense proportion near what appears to be the center of the grove: one, it is noted, appears to be an ordinary apple tree,
although the other bears a fruit unknown on earth, described as [DATA EXPUNGED].
It is the avowed belief of the Founder that the gate which SCP-001 guards may be the gate to [EXPUNGED] based on correlations with
ancient Babylonian texts and the Dead Sea Scrolls. In which case, one can deduce that the entity known as SCP-001 may be [EXPUNGED].
Addendum 001-a: Experimentation re: SCP-001-2's effective kill range
1. EXPERIMENT A: 1 Class-D personnel instructed to approach SCP-001 as closely as possible on foot.

Result: Upon making visual contact with SCP-001, subject is ordered to "LEAVE." Subject immediately turns away from entity and walks
away. Despite repeated orders to continue the experiment, Class D Personnel refuses to obey and is terminated. Upon termination of
Class-D personnel, all research staff involved are immediately obliterated by an unknown force, presumably SCP-001-2.
2. EXPERIMENT B: 1 remote-operated research robot guided to approach SCP-001 from the ground.
Result: Upon approaching within 1 km of SCP-001, research robot is obliterated, presumably by SCP-001-2. All further attempts at
remote reconnaissance have the same result.
3. EXPERIMENT C: 100 pre-programmed research drones instructed to approach SCP-001 from multiple angles simultaneously.
Result: Coordination is successful, and all 100 drones cross the 1 km mark simultaneously; however, all 100 are simultaneously
obliterated by SCP-001-2. Designated observer at Site 0 reports that SCP-001-2 appeared to "strike in all directions at once." SCP-001
did not deviate from its stance while this took place.
4. EXPERIMENT D: Wire-guided missile fired from a distance of 3 km.

Result: SCP-001-2 obliterates weapon upon crossing the 1km mark, simultaneously obliterating the launch site and killing all
personnel.
5. EXPERIMENT E: Multi-Warhead Intercontinental Ballistic Missile fired from SCP nuclear submarine "Nautilus."
Result: See Indian Ocean Submarine Missile Experiment, December 26, 2004
6. EXPERIMENT F: SCP-076 and Task Force Omega 7 instructed to approach SCP-001 on foot.
Result: SCP-076 refuses to carry out mission, despite not being informed of the mission's nature. Upon being asked why, SCP-076
replies, "No. Just no."
7. EXPERIMENT G: SCP-073. Due to the results of experiment F, SCP-073 was not informed of his destination until arriving at Site 0.
Result: SCP-073 approached the site on foot. Upon seeing SCP-001, SCP-073 became distressed and asked to abort. SCP-073 was ordered to
continue. At that point, the symbol on SCP-073's forehead became [DATA EXPUNGED]. Experiment was terminated due to [DATA EXPUNGED].
See Addendum 001-aa.
Addendum 001-aa: By executive order of the Administrator, no further experiments are to be carried out re: SCP-001. No further SCPs
are to be exposed to SCP-001. SCP-001 is not to be used to dispose of dangerous SCPs. Please see revised containment procedures for
details.

SCP-001 » S. D. Locke's Proposal
You find the access tunnel, hidden within a natural cave a mile off the main road.
You don't need the keycard. The door is ajar.
It smells here. It smells like them. Hopefully, they've moved on. You've come so far already. You can't turn back now.
There is a slick trail that leads from the cave entrance and into the depths of the site. If it's blood or shit - or something that
smeared off one of those things, you cannot tell. You make a point to avoid it.
You're still receiving the distress signal. It only started broadcasting yesterday. Whoever it is - you pray they're still alive.
Your footsteps echo throughout empty corridors. Each footfall sounds for all the world like a dozen, as if you're not treading
through the dark alone.
Elevator is down - so you take the stairs, ending on floor B5: Keter Holding. You pass several empty containment chambers. The
horrors they once held are long gone.
If you're lucky.
The trail takes you to an office branching off the main hall - the source of the signal. The door is cracked open, but stuck. You
plant your feet, push with all your might.
Something skitters out of one of the rooms to your left and around the corner before you can get a good look at it. Your first
thought is 'dog'.
It was on the ceiling, though.
You take refuge in the room, slam the door behind you. It's dark here. You're safe. You take off your jacket and head wrap. It'd be
a damn shame to die from something like hyperthermia after all that's happened.
The sole operating emergency light rotates in its casing - casting a pale orange glow across the room every other second.
As if the room itself had a pulse.
There's shelving haphazardly placed behind the door - a barricade. You scan the room. Soiled clothes, half eaten food. Despite the
presence of an adjoining restroom, there is excrement in a bucket in the corner. A pneumatic chamber on the Northern wall would have
been delivering consumables to the occupant.
The trail terminates in the corner of the room, forming a sick puddle. You spot three pharmacy bottles - further inspection reveals
them to be various opioids. They're all empty.
There's a desk with a computer atop it. Approaching the terminal, you can clearly see the blinking light of the power button.
You take a seat. Turn it on.
Emergency Protocol Activated. Clearance Level Safeguards Removed. Full Access Granted.

SCP-001, minutes after its activation. Photographer unknown.
Item #: SCP-001
Object Class: Apollyon
Special Containment Procedures: Due to its nature, SCP-001 cannot be contained. Survivors of the SCP-001 event stationed within secure
facilities are to remain in contact with one another. Personnel are encouraged to attempt to reach Site-5[1] Site-19 by any means at
their disposal. Personnel with knowledge as to the whereabouts of the O5 Council are to relay this information to the Administrator.
1. Personnel are to be reminded that there is no Site-5.
Survivors attempting to travel outdoors must fully cover their bodies in protective clothing; preferably several layers. Travel by
foot should be limited as much as possible. Cities - and man-made structures in general - provide the greatest protection. Formerly-
wooded areas should be circumvented. Travel by air is preferable above all other methods.
Personnel exposed to SCP-001 are to be considered lost. Compromised personnel are to be abandoned. Euthanization is not to be
attempted.
Collective instances of SCP-001-A that are of formidable size are to be avoided at all costs. Conductive electrical weapons have
proven partially effective at immobilizing instances, and may be used for self-defense. Incendiary weapons work as well. Cryonic
munitions are the most effective thus far.
Testing has revealed that SCP-001-A is relatively safe to consume. This is only to be considered as a last resort in the absence of
other options. As SCP-001-A may reconstitute within the digestive system, only small portions should be consumed at a time to prevent
blockage.
Personnel stationed at Site-19 are to pursue research concerning off-world colonization. Shuttles must be constructed as to not allow
light to penetrate the interior.
To those of you with families, or

God forbid, children - I'm deeply,
deeply sorry, you must push on. Do
not let their deaths be in vain. We
do still have time.
Humanity may still have a

future. Come to Site-19. We
need all the hands we can get.
Learn to embrace the darkness,
friends. Fear the light.
- The Administrator
Description: SCP-001 is the designation given to the Sun, after an event on [SYSTEM ERROR] Data lost: ec172. Contact SysAdmin. resulting in
~6.8 billion casualties within the first twenty-four hours. The SCP-001 effect does not seem to result from exposure to ultraviolet
rays, but rather light in the visual spectrum (~390 to 700 nm). The effect is similarly present in moonlight.
Upon contact with visible light produced by the sun, living organisms liquefy at the point of contact, with the effect spreading until
the entire organism is converted. Visually, this is reminiscent of melting wax. The time this takes is largely dependent on the level
of exposure and size of the organism. Despite this restructuring, at no point do living organisms perish.
Upon completion these organisms (SCP-001-A) take on a gelatinous consistency. Motile organisms will attempt to orient themselves in a
fashion reminiscent of their previous form, to varying degrees of success.
Flora typically remain physically inert, yet are still capable of photosynthesis, and still produce oxygen. Organisms capable of
flight lose the capability to do so. Fauna remain sentient, and display behavior that parallels their non-anomalous counterparts when
not absorbed into a collective instance. Humans retain a modicum of sapience and memory.
Biological anomalies exposed to SCP-001 are affected in the same manner. It seems that exposure nullifies any previously expressed
anomalous characteristics.
Due to their composition, instances of SCP-001-A that make contact with one another may combine and blend at the molecular level. This
does not seem to cause any pain or distress to the instances, though the resulting bulk can inhibit movement. Since the SCP-001 event,
most instances have congregated into such collectives, which seem to possess no maximum volume.
The resulting biomass is amorphous and chaotic. The component organisms will shift between a full-to-semi-liquid state - limbs and
bodies will rise periodically from within the mass for a short duration, before deteriorating and being subsumed by another life-form.
Collective instances will locomote by using their appendages in tandem to carry their mass. Larger instances will form a pseudopod
from their constituent life-forms, and drag themselves about in a manner similar to amoeba.

A harsh static lashes out of the speakers when you open the file. It disturbs the stillness of the room, catches you off guard and
quickens your heart's pace. There's some handling noise as the recorder adjusts their microphone.
A brief moment of silence passes and then:
"Ahem. This is Doctor Logan Igotta, Level, um, Three researcher."
There's a quiver in her voice that betrays her attempts at professionalism. She pauses, takes a deep breath, and continues.
"Due to Site-46's possession of several communicable infohazards - we have, we have been cut off from the rest of the network u-
under Blackout Protocol. As such, I'll be updating this as we come a-across new information.
On the bright side, we are actually still receiving transmissions from a few Sites. A good number of personnel have made it, it
seems. Some are planning to make a break for 19, some are trying to fight the dash As, some, like us, are simply biding their time.
Our Site is sealed for the time being. We're not ready for the journey. At least, not yet."
She sighs.
"We... experienced a containment breach a few days ago. One of the higher-maintenance humanoids broke loose - son of a bitch
compromised containment on half a, half a dozen Keters and ran off.
They didn't make it more than five feet from the tunnels before collapsing in a soup. I-I watched it play out on the cams.
It didn't take long for them to get back up."
She stops again, mutters to herself incomprehensibly - before you hear the unmistakable sound of a match-strike.
She exhales audibly.
"Ahh... M-much better. Not exactly a, exactly a designated smoke area; but what the hell, right?"
She clears her throat.
Commander Anand suited up and went to town on them the next day, tried to drive them off. It didn't turn out very well, poor
bastard. But we did learn a thing or two, at least."
Pause. Exhale.
"There's only a few of us left here. I'm holed up in one of the offices. Jerry and Director Phillips are somewhere in the barracks.
Clyde and a few D's locked themselves in the armory with Ari.
I really should see how she's doing."
She trails off for a moment - before you hear the buzz of radio chatter.
"Hey, hun. How're you holding up down there?"
A voice responds. A man with an exaggerated, mocking tone.
"I'm doing just fine poopsie-kins! I want you to know I wuv you bunches! Heh, heh."
Logan shoots back.
"Who? Wh- knock it off and put her on, dammit. I need to speak with her."
There's a clamor on the other end while the radio changes hands. A soft voice calls out, concerned.
"Babe? What's wrong?"
Logan responds.
"Um - er- nothing, nothing."
Pause. Exhale.
"I just wanted to check in real quick."
Ari pleads.
"I'm fine, babe. Really. I can take care of myself."
A creak - Logan shifts in her seat.
"No, no. I know, I know that. I can't help it, though. I know coming here was never easy for you...."
Pause. Exhale. Logan continues:
"...and with everything going on I—"
Ari interrupts her.
"Hey! You told me you quit smoking."
There's a ruckus as Igotta presumably attempts to snuff her cigarette.
"Oh! Uh No! No, of course not. I mean, I did! I did stop."

Ari doesn't sound convinced.
"I don't think I'm the one you need to worry about. I'm staying clean. I haven't even thought of touching mnestics in months. Trust
me.
Anyways, since you were wondering, I'm fine. The guys are sitting around playing cards, I'm tucked in the corner with my notebook."
You can practically hear Igotta smiling as she jokes.
"Sweetheart! Penning a sonnet about my undying love at a time like this? I'm flattered."
Ari responds with a feigned laugh.
"An elegy, at the moment. I feel like if I don't keep myself busy doing something, I'll go crazy locked down here."
"I know what you mean, hun. I'll let you get back to it.
I love you."
Ari replies.
"Love you too, babe."
A moment of silence. Then, a match-strike followed by an audible exhale.
"And that's all of us. Everyone else was either top-side during the event, or they were killed in the breach. Director's orders are
to stay put. Keep an eye on the cams - both in and around the facility. We've got the 001'd skips beating at our front door, and
god knows what else locked in here with us.
We still have electricity - we should for quite some time - and the place is stocked with enough supplies to last the site a couple
of years. We're going to be fine for now."
Pause. Exhale.
"Everything's going to be fine."
She waits a beat, before ending the transmission.

They've just been sitting out there this entire time, calling out to us, begging for us to come outside. The noise drew in more of
them. There's this one mass that I'm sure must have a few dozen people and god-knows how many animals roiling around inside it.
Screams and bleats and screeches and howls nonstop. Louder than all hell. The worst ones make this disgusting moaning - like
they're actually enjoying it.
They're not going to leave so long as they know we're down here.
We managed to talk one of the D's into going out - see if he couldn't draw them away. He was surprisingly okay with the plan - all
he asked for was a gun, and a single round. He made it out there and one got a hold of him, tried to get his mask off. He managed
to work the pistol up beneath his chin in time, got it off. I figured he was lucky.
After he fell limp though, it kept working at his suit. Pried off the hood, poured itself inside. Began tearing it off of him from
within.
He came back; started changing - dripping out of the suit and screaming and screaming and screaming.
They won't even let us die.
The Director has a plan. There's an escape tunnel hidden in his office. Tram under the Site will take us to a safe house - we
should be able to start towards 19 from there.

You see her for the first time. Dr. Igotta is seated where you are right now. She has a pained look, her eyes are bloodshot. A
large, wet, red-black blotch has formed on her breast-pocket.
She draws a shuddering breath, parts her lips as if to speak, and stops herself. She bows her head, and cries silently. After a
minute, she manages to choke out:
"I-I-w-we - the t-tunnel.
Flowed in through the, through the ceiling, dragging, dragging them into the, the l-light and ripping off their, their clothes a-a-
and..."
She reaches into her breast pocket, and withdraws a finger. The glint of a wedding ring is visible above the severed portion. She
holds it close, in cupped hands, and runs a thumb across the glimmering band.
She sits like this for an eternity, whispering apology after apology, begging forgiveness, lost in the moment. She looks up after
some time. There's a look of realization when she sees she's still recording; before she places the digit back in her pocket. She
leans forward, as if to turn off the camera, when a radio crackles to life.
It broadcasts white noise for a few seconds, and then, a voice that sets you on edge.
"Logan?"
It's Ari, almost. Her voice has taken on the disgusting, gurgling tone characteristic of the affected. Logan's jaw drops, what
little color that was left in her face drains. It speaks out again.
"Where are you? Why can't I get back inside?
Are you there?"
Logan rummages beneath the desk for a moment, and produces a hand-held radio. Her hands are shaking. The thing implores her; its
inhuman speech curdles your stomach.
"Babe, it's alright. I'm alright, really.
It's a bright, sunny day and you're just wasting away down there."
Logan is in tears, her finger hovering just above the call-button. The Ari-thing draws a deep, wet, breath and speaks.
"Such a beautiful, clear blue sky - just like that day. Do you remember, babe?
Logan withdraws a cigarette with her free hand, followed by a pack of matches. Her shaking thwarts the first two attempts to light
it. She swears silently. Third time's the charm, and she inhales a quarter of it in a single drag. The Ari-thing continues:
"It was so perfect. Everything was how I'd always dreamt it would be. You planned exquisitely. I'd never felt so in love."
Logan begins rocking back-and-forth.
"You even had the band play our song..."
It starts singing.
"I feel good, in a special way
I'm in love and it's a sunny day"
Logan hurls the radio across the room. It smashes somewhere off-camera. It's still somewhat operational - you can still hear the
thing singing.
"Good day, sunshine

Good day, sunshine"
More voices join in the chorus as the radio slowly loses life. A few, a dozen, then more. They continue singing until the radio
mercifully dies. Logan rushes out of her chair, and you can hear her vomiting off-screen. The video films the empty seat for several
minutes before she returns to end the feed.

A lingering, paranoid sensation washes over you. You're being watched. You defensively dart your eyes about, though they take a
second to adjust to the darkness beyond the monitor. The emergency light sweeps across the room, stretching and twisting the shadows
beyond recognition. That's when you spot it.
There, in the corner.
Coming out of the puddle.
Time slows to a halt. A pair of hands, coated in the lustrous black slime you followed through the facility, are on either side of
the sickening pool, as if something beneath the floor is bracing itself, trying to lift itself up.
Something inhuman.
The head comes next, rising from the muck. Matted hair conceals its face, plastered over it by the mystery fluid. It turns in your
direction.
It stares at you from the corner, which once again falls into darkness.
The emergency light continues its journey across the room. It washes over the puddle again, revealing nothing out of the ordinary.

Dr. Igotta appears on the monitor. She's lost weight. Her eyes are bloodshot and wide. On the table before her lay a knife, a bowl,
and a stack of manila envelopes filled with yellowing pages.
Atop this stack is a blood-stained parchment.
"Despite the things we have to deal with here at the Foundation, I've always believed we would be able to maintain control. We
would hold the darkness at bay - let mankind flourish in the light.
Site-19 stopped broadcasting last month. It's been getting harder and harder to find a reason to keep going - especially without,
without."
She grabs the knife, contemplates it for a moment.
"I keep going over it again and again in my mind. That day back in the tunnels. Everything that happened. I've gone down there a
few times, if only to hear her voice again.
But it's wrong. That thing on the other side of the door - it isn't her. Not anymore. It sounds like her, it knows everything she
knew, but it's not her. This light - it takes your body, it steals your mind.
But what about your soul?"
With this, she slices into the palm of her left hand, and winces. You watch her clench her fist, draining her blood into the bowl.
"If this works... If I can bring back something, something the light couldn't reach; I'll post an update here. For now, signing
off."

There's a video file attached. Opening it, you see that it presents the room you're in. The feed seems to be coming from one of the
security cameras, up in the corner of the room. It's dark, but you can just make out Dr. Igotta - laying on a pile of laundry along
the far wall.
She's writhing in her sleep. She seems tormented. Hurt. She's tossing and turning and mumbling nonsense-words.
The camera shakes. It lifts upwards for a moment, before it focuses on her again.
It starts moving closer. Slowly.
The speakers come to life; picking up an airy, breathy static. As the camera moves closer to the doctor, it becomes clearer,
crisper. It's not merely white noise, but dozens - hundreds of voices whispering unintelligibly over each other.
You lean in, press your ear almost against the speaker, trying to discern what it is that's being said. Something strange stands out
amidst the discordance:
Are you paying attention?

This next bit is just for you.
You're not quite sure what to make of it, though. Looking back at the monitor, the camera has come to a halt inches away from the
sleeping doctor.
The voices stop.

There is no sound.
A hand. Black and oily and skeletal, reaches out for her, brushes away a lock of hair.
Her eyes shoot open, she recoils in shock. The feed cuts out.

she no longer had eyes, for how deep they'd recessed into her skull. She stares ahead, unblinking.

Her lips crack into a broken grin. She lets out a weak laugh, and displays her trembling hands. What appears to be the mostly-
skeletal remains of a finger is embedded into the flesh of her left hand - in the stump that would have supported her natural ring
finger. Two wedding bands loosely encircle the digit, laying atop one another.
"So, I'm not infected. I'm not, not, I'm, I'm not crazy. I know. I know the ritual worked. I know it's really her. It's her and she
—"
Something catches her attention off-screen. She cocks her head, listening.
"No! No, I c-can't! You're not, not you, not the same. Not you, it's not you anymore. Nope! No, no, no!"
She begins rubbing her temples, repeating herself over and over again. A minute passes. She snaps her head back up, and addresses
the camera.
"It's her but it's not. What I brought back - still a part of oh-one. There's no way. No way out. No way.
There's no hope for a future for me, and God, I can't go on like this any longer.
I'll be safe here. The light can't reach m-me. I w-won't let it, let it take me."
She brandishes a handgun.
"W-was planning on using this, 'till I found some, some leftover meds. Don't want to, want to risk calling attention to m-myself...
to my body."
She opens the desk drawer, and deposits the firearm. She raises her gaze, stares into the camera.
"Mom. Dad. Ari.
I'm sorry."
She reaches forward and ends the recording.
That's horrible. Did it have to end like that?
You open the drawer, and pull out the gun. You absentmindedly turn it over in your hands for a moment, wondering where you'll go
from here. Site-17? 64? Surely you can't be all that's left. The computer dings. There's been an update to the file?

Without your prompting, the page begins playing a video file. You freeze when the image loads.
It's a live feed, looking down on you from behind. About a foot away.
A skeletal, inky left hand enters the frame, approaching you at a snail's pace. It's missing its ring finger.
Without a second thought, you turn and fire in a frenzy. Hoping to drive off the specter.
Your bullets meet an empty wall. There's nothing there.
A second passes before you hear it - before you hear them. Sloshing, wet thuds coming down the corridor, accompanied by a chorus of
screams.
It slams into the door. Could there be a place to hide?
It strikes a second time. What appears to be a face - part human, part... something - dribbles in under the frame. Bits of flesh

A third. Now it's pressing up against the wood, causing it to sag inwards.
With a groan and a crash, the wood splinters. The door explodes open.
Hands and arms stretch out of the mass, pulling you up, passing you from one to the next, on and on down the line. They drag you

And at the end of the tunnel, there is light.

SCP-001 » Jonathan Ball's Proposal
Item #: SCP-001
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: To date, no adequate containment procedure has been developed to deal with the possible threat posed
by SCP-001. This is due, in part, to the controversial nature of the item and debates concerning the necessity of its containment.
This controversy is reflected in the item’s changing object class and the procedures utilized in its containment. The current
administration, despite charges of paranoia, has classed the object Keter, while requesting permission for a higher object class to be
created and applied uniquely to this item, considering it to be the most dangerous of all known or possible items. The reason for this
classification and changing attitudes towards SCP-001 are dealt with in the description and notes.
At present, SCP-001 is located in a code-locked briefcase made of a high-tensile reinforced polymer. The room and briefcase are
monitored at all times by security cameras. The briefcase cannot be opened without unanimous special clearance from all current O5
officers. The briefcase itself is stored in a small, fully lit, single-room off-site building erected in . Class D
personnel are posted to guard the building but may not enter without the aforementioned agreement from the O5 officers, under threat
of immediate termination. This off-site building exists for the sole purpose of housing SCP-001 and is wired for detonation in an
emergency situation.
It is the opinion of the current administration that SCP-001 represents the greatest threat to national and global security known to
exist. Nevertheless, due to special circumstances regarding its mode of function, further research on the item is disallowed, despite
its promotion in the past, when SCP-001 was contained in minimum security conditions.
Description: SCP-001 is a simple sheaf of papers, stapled together in the top left corner. The top sheet is a covering sheet reading
simply, “Confidential Report on Special Items—Classified.” The number of subsequent papers stapled to this covering sheet is
indeterminate, and have ranged from three to thirty. The report is unsigned and its origin is unknown.
The first appearance of this report was on , , when it appeared on the desk of (deceased). The report at
that time described “The ‘Living’ Room” (SCP-002). Shortly after reading the report with incredulity, was contacted by
phone regarding said item. The next time perused SCP-001, it described not “The ‘Living’ Room” but “Biological
Motherboard” (SCP-003). immediately closed SCP-001, thinking it was a different report, and searched for the original
report on SCP-002. Not finding it, he again opened SCP-001, and this time it described not SCP-003 but “The 12 Rusty Keys and the
Door” (SCP-004). closed the report once more and opened it immediately, to read of “Skeleton Key” (SCP-005). It is not
known what the next actions of might have been. At varying times following this incident, the aforementioned items were
discovered.
Insufficient research exists concerning the correlation between SCP-001 and all other known items. However, it has been established
that every event regarding the discovery of a new SCP item has followed a report on that same item appearing beneath the cover sheet
of SCP-001. The current administration regards this coincidence as proof of causal connection.
Additional Notes: Whether SCP-001 is to be regarded as an advance-warning system or whether SCP-001 itself is to be regarded as the
creator of the items requiring special containment remains to be seen. However, the distinction is unimportant in the eyes of the
current administration. The fact remains: no new SCP items appear unless SCP-001 is opened and read. It is for this reason that the
current administration refuses to repeat the mistakes of the past, mistakes that have resulted in over one thousand SCP items coming
to the knowledge of the SCP unit.
Arguments concerning the non-lethality of SCP-001 itself, its theoretically beneficial use as an SCP warning system, or its use as a
progenitor of advanced biological and non-biological weapons have not swayed the current administration. Nor have arguments
criticizing the extreme containment procedures employed in respect to an item that displays no nefarious qualities and is not animate
as such. Critics are reminded that these procedures are intended not to contain the item itself, but to isolate it from human
interaction, which is to be regarded as the true threat.
Although the current administration refuses to remove the object from isolation barring special authorization as noted above, past
administrations have counseled daily with the item, and future administrations will no doubt counsel similar behavior. Nevertheless,
it is the opinion of the current administration that, barring the destruction of SCP-001, it is to be contained until such a time when
responsibility for its containment falls upon future administrations.

Church of the Broken God Hub
Guide Hub » Groups Of Interest » Church of the Broken God Hub
Overview
Group #: GOI-004, "The Church of the Broken God"
Membership: Three known factions, ~300,000 worldwide
Resources: USD$1-5 billion annually, anomalous capability
Status: Active
The smith answers only to God, for his hands repair His body.
-Builder Robert Bumaro
Description: The Church of the Broken God is an anomalous religious organization which worships mechanization and believes flesh and
life to be inherently evil or "broken". Though its origins are unknown, Broken God-related artifacts have been recovered from
archaeological digs dating back to the Greek Classical period, and church dogma asserts its existence predates the appearance of life
on Earth. Central to their theology is that their deity has been scattered, dispersed or otherwise rendered inert. Through the use of
technology, often anomalous, Church followers seek to bring together the components of the body of God, thereby allowing the Divine a
physical form to utilize and bringing about some sort of techno-organic apotheosis. Several SCP objects have been attributed to this
group since its discovery. Personnel may reference items indexed under "broken-god" for a restricted list.
The current leader of the oldest extant denomination of "The Broken Church" (GOI-004A) is an individual identified in records as "His
Holiness Robert Bumaro, Builder of the Broken God", who apparently gained the title in 1946.[1] While this sect continues its efforts
to reconstruct their deity, the religion as a whole has at some time in the past century undergone a major schism. Two significant
breakaway movements from the original church have entered into a major theological conflict.
1. Spanish Nationalist records from 1938 mention a civilian mechanic by the name of Umberto Bumaro, who received several governmental citations for "Miraculous
feats of engineering and mechanical repair in service to the State". Whether or not this is the same individual, and his whereabouts during the Second World War,
is unknown.
Cast in the Design of God, We Faithful.
-The Schema of the Patriarchs
The "Cogwork Orthodox Church" (GOI-004B) espouses a form of literal religious iconography known as "Standardization", whereby
adherents submit to anomalous mechanical enhancement with the stated goal of remaking themselves in the image or plan of their deity.
Due to the extent of their mechanical augmentation, members of this sect often emit audible ticking or tapping sounds, and have been
referred to disparagingly as "Tickers" by members of the other two sects.
Cogwork Orthodoxy deliberately adheres to technological norms of the late Industrial Revolution, and regard the mass-production of
analogue, steam and clockwork-driven machinery as a form of prayer. Orthodoxy doctrine is highly centralized and regulated by a group
of unknown composition, known as the Patriarchs. This body issues detailed production orders and design documents, which form the core
of the group's extremely extensive holy writ. Orthodox belief decries the use of electronic or digital devices, and views distributed
information sharing and decentralization as tantamount to the dissolution of divine knowledge.
Individuality is the file system through which our Lord is compiled.

-Words_Of_The_Prophet.txt
The "Church of Maxwellism" (GOI-004C) represents a modernized, computation and network oriented means of worship. No central
organizing church body is known to exist. However, interviews and covert surveillance has determined that all known cells are in
regular contact with one another, and capable of coordination. Maxwellists favour small-scale body modification through the use of
advanced cybernetics and organ enhancement. While artificial limbs or reinforced skeletons have been observed, Maxwellist implants
focus primarily on communication, data storage, networking capabilities, and sensory enhancement.
Maxwellist doctrine interprets the Broken God as a "fragmented" deity, which exists as disparate data present in the linked technology
and cultural zeitgeist of the digital age. Worshipers approach the divine by embracing their unique traits and sharing their knowledge
and capacity for the good of the collective Church. By connecting all minds through computer networks, they believe their deity can be
"recompiled" as the aggregate will of humanity. Due to their use of computer fan noise as a meditative aid, members are often referred
to as "Hummers" by members of the other two factions.
History
Given the fragmented nature of GoI-004, a clear timeline of events involving the Church is difficult to determine. Contradictory
information regarding its origins, primary doctrines, important figures and historical development is collected with every raid on
hostile cells. The retroactive recognition of unrelated cults as predecessors of the Church represents a significant problem for
Foundation historians.
The following is a brief summary of information regarding the Church's history, from sources the Foundation presently considers the
most reliable. It is to be taken as a guideline when dealing with members of the GoI or suspected artifacts, though Foundation agents
and researchers must always remember that it represents incomplete knowledge, subject to expansion or amendment with every new
discovery.
Xia Anomalous Culture Group
Recent archeological findings of ancient anomalous sites have established a link between the ancient Xia Dynasty (a legendary dynasty
which ruled China from 2100 to 1600 BCE, of which there is no non-anomalous evidence) and the Cult of the Broken God.
The Xia culture group practiced a dualistic religion, worshipping entities known as Father Serpent Fuxi (equivalent to the Broken God)
and Mother Dragon Nüwa (equivalent to the Sarkic deity) above all gods. Scholars were said to practice “The Way of the Serpent”, and
members of the culture underwent at age twelve transformations into serpentine bodies, said to resemble “the Body of the Dragon”.
These anomalous transformations, along with the anachronistic technology recovered from archeological sites, confirm the Xia Dynasty
as one of the first anomalous civilizations in historical record. According to Xia cosmology, Fuxi and Nüwa fought after creating
humankind, eventually culminating in Fuxi transforming himself into a "Great Brass Cage" to imprison Nüwa. While the worship of Fuxi
took precedence over worship of Nüwa, the Xia culture group saw the rebuilding of Fuxi as an event to be prevented at all costs, since
it would free Nüwa from her cage, and lead to the end of the world.
The Dynasty is said to have started with the Yellow Emperor, a legendary figure considered to be the initiator of Chinese
civilization, who defeated contemporaneous worshippers of Fuxi and Nüwa. Throughout their history, the Xia civilization would enter
conflicts with other civilizations, such as the aforementioned cults, the Ortothan civilization, the future Shang dynasty, and
[REDACTED].
The Xia culture group was significantly more advanced than any other civilization of their time, having developed structures similar
to computing devices, up to and including artificial intelligence, as well as a writing system more developed than the future Shang
dynasty and even reality warping devices. They were accomplished blacksmiths, particularly of bronze and a beryllium-bronze alloy,
present in several anomalous objects. The properties of this alloy are currently being researched. Records suggest the Xia culture
developed methods of interstellar travel. Whether these were constructed, theorized only, or something else entirely has not been
determined.
The Xia Dinasty came to an end following a conflict with creatures identified as “Golden Crows”, which destroyed all physical evidence
of their existence outside of a few anomalous sites, objects and organisms. Information on them persisted through legends of the
surrounding and succeeding cultures, and there are accounts of the continued presence of survivors as guardians of forgotten history.
For more information on the Xia Anomalous Culture Group, see Document 2481.
The Mekhanite Empire

Ample evidence has been collected of the presence of Broken God cults in Mycenaean Greece, a Greek civilization spanning the years
1600-1100 BCE. The Broken God came to be known as Mekhane[2], and over time the cult grew powerful enough to establish a Mekhanite
Empire, existing roughly from 1200 BCE to 1000 BCE.
2. (“μηχανή”, literally “machine”)
The Mekhanite Empire was a highly centralized theocratic state, with no distinction between the position of political, religious and
military leader. The State maintained control over the production of goods, particularly of the metallurgic industry, considering it a
holy craft. The Empire had strong trading relations with Egypt, Assyria and Canaan. Their aggressive commercial policies,
evangelization practices and naval strength made them one of the most powerful states at the time, though they also gave them an
unpopular reputation among contemporary states.
The Mekhanite Empire introduced several important concepts to the Broken Church theology, most importantly the establishment of the
rebuilding of the Broken God as the ultimate goal of the Church. Written accounts document the change from a primarily deistic
religion to the current Apotheosis doctrine as far back as 1154 BCE. Of important notice is that the earliest known document that
proposes this doctrine called the Broken God “Wan”[3].
3. Relation, if any, to the "WAN" worshipped by the Church of Maxwellism remains unknown.
Relationships between the Mekhanite Empire and contemporaneous civilizations, primarily the Daevites and the Sarkics, was often
fraught with tension, though proof of alliances between the Mekhanists and the Daevites against the Adí-üm Empire has been
encountered. Tensions between the Mekhanites and the Adí-üm Empire reached an all-time high around the end of the 11th century BCE.
Evidence of colossus constructed for this war has been found as far away as the Aralkum desert. Accounts on the end of the war vary,
though it is agreed that, while the Mekhanites ultimately won the war, it dealt significant damage to the state, leading to the
collapse of the Empire shortly afterwards. Artifacts from this time period would be salvaged by various anomalous organizations over
the years, surfacing as recently as the Seventh Occult War.
The City-State of Amoni

The survivors of the Mekhanite state experienced a schism after the fall of the empire. A significant portion traveled to other lands,
hoping to find new territory in which to settle. The rest stayed on Amoni, a small settlement mostly undamaged by the war.
For both groups, the period immediately after the collapse of the empire was defined by the need for secrecy. The surrounding states
immediately claimed dominion over the Empire's former territory, hoping to find the secrets to the Mekhanites' technology. Similarly,
the former members of the Empire were hunted, considered a valuable source of information. Survivors looking for new places to live
hid their origins, often practicing their religion secretly or conflating it with other deities. It is believed most descendants of
these survivors eventually abandoned their faith to facilitate integration with society.
Meanwhile, the survivors in the now City-State of Amoni hid information on its location from the rest of the world, living in self-
sufficiency while recovering from the effects of the war. It would take them until the 6th Century BCE to regain their status as an
influential player in regional politics, primarily due to their advanced technology. While their overall military strength fell
significantly with the fall of the Empire, engineers from the City-State were highly prized among other civilizations, gaining them
several important allies that guaranteed them a continued existence.
No longer possessing a numerous army nor control over the sea trade, the City-State of Amoni would instead concentrate on agriculture
and the production of unique goods. The City-State remained closed to foreigners, not willing to show any sign of weakness to
outsiders, with the majority of contact with other states coming from trade in designated ports and the true location of the city
remaining a secret. This state of isolation would remain until conquest by the Romans on the 1st Century BCE.
The City-State of Amoni was profoundly influenced by the Pythagorean cults, incorporating their belief on the importance of numerology
and harmony. It is believed the current Gnostic reading of the Broken God theology may have its roots in this period. These spiritual
influences led to a marked increase in the production of literature and art around the 5th Century BCE, marking this the Golden Age of
Mekhanite Literature. Similar advances in automaton design would occur around the 1st Century BCE, culminating in the creation of what
are believed to be the first examples of artificial intelligence in the European continent.
The City-State of Amoni remained neutral in most military conflicts of the time, though they are known to have aided the Achaemenid
Empire in war against the Sarkites, as well as have at least supplied military equipment to the Kingdom of Carthage at the time of the
Punic Wars.
The City-State of Amoni would be destroyed during the 1st Century CE, after a conflict with the Hebrews proved their military strength
could no longer be underestimated. While followers of the religion remained, no centralized body would form until the 19th Century.
The Industrial Revolution

The Church of the Broken God experienced a resurgence during the Industrial Revolutions, seeing the proliferation of machinery and
mass-production as a signal of Mekhane’s imminent return. The various surviving cells would unify into what is known today as the
Broken Church, looking to spread the word of their God in the new era.
At the same time, among members of the Church, debates started regarding the viability of conversion into mechanical entities,
searching for a "post-Nibbanic" state of being[4]. Conversion had not been a widespread practice since the fall of the Mekhanite
Empire, and several high ranking members considered any conversion different from the one given by the then lost “God’s Ichor” to be a
mockery of the Broken God. It is believed the tensions inside the Church were exacerbated by the oligarchy of the time, seeing
benefits in the "new" religion but not willing to submit themselves to the Church’s authority. Ultimately, this led to the first great
schism of the Church’s modern history, when several splinter cells defected from the main body of the Church to seek enlightenment in
the new technologies during the 1840's.
4. "Post-Nibbanic" refers to a hypothetical state in which the converted subject achieves a state of communion with their God.
With the economic support of several important factory owners and the knowledge of the church splinter cells, several experiments on
possible paths of augmentation were performed. The splinter cells looked to further evangelize the oligarchy of the time, emphasizing
the usefulness of the Mekhanite anomalous technology and spectacle of augmentations as reasons to convert. While few adopted the
faith, many would become sponsors of the nascent splinter cells, looking to benefit from their knowledge. The increased awareness of
anomalous technology threatened to destroy the Veil, leading to the first conflicts between the then nascent Foundation and the
Church.
Eventually, the majority of these cells would be unified under the Patriarchs of the Cogwork Orthodox Church, which became the most
important segment of the Church of the Broken God by the end of the 19th Century.
The 20th Century

The Church of the Broken God started the 20th Century in the most stable situation it had been since the destruction of the City-State
of Amoni. The discovery of several suspected Broken God artifacts by the Cogwork Orthodoxy led many in cults to believe it was only a
matter of time until the Broken God was reassembled. The Broken Church, not willing to let the splinter group be the ones to unite the
God, started their own hunt for the artifacts.
The most important figure in recent Church history is Robert Bumaro, a mysterious individual who was first recorded as a collector of
items suspected of being related to the Church. He recruited several enforcers and, through anomalous means, enhanced most of them
until they were able to “communicate” with their God. This was unusual for the Broken Church, as, unlike the Cogwork Orthodoxy, they
usually discouraged artificial enhancements.
Bumaro and his agents were able to collect close to a hundred artifacts of presumed importance to the Church, before disappearing on
1943. He would reappear on 1946, claiming the title of leader of the Church and “Builder of God”. To this day, Bumaro remains a highly
respected figure not just inside the Broken Church, but among all other known denominations.
A final schism occurred during the 1990's, though conflicts within the Church had started in the 1970's. As technology advanced, many
members of the existing churchs felt the dogmas were outdated, and that the Church had to adapt its message to the times. The
inclusion of electronic devices in augmentations was the cause of severe controversy in the Cogwork Orthodox Church, culminating in
its prohibition by the Patriarchs as a heretical development. This addition to the Schema resulted in numerous excommunications and
defections.
Similarly to the situation in the 19th Century, numerous splinter cells would emerge, though with significantly less success at
attracting funding. Most of them would eventually unify during the second half of the 1990's, following the teachings of a woman named
Saint Hedwig[5] to establish the Church of Maxwellism. With commercial links to major players in the anomalous world such as Prometheus
Labs, the Church of Maxwellism would soon establish itself as one of the major denominations of the Church.
5. Information retrieved from the Church likens St. Hedwig to actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr, though this claim has not been verified.
Current Status
The Church of the Broken God has an estimated of 300,000 members as of today. There’s an increase in families of mixed faiths, as
Maxwellism looks to evangelize newer generations using popular media and the Internet, making them the most important threat to
normalcy among the members of the Church, despite a relative lack of military power compared to the other two denominations.
Current Church operations center around the recovery of an island off the coast of Greece. The reasons for this interest are currently
unknown.

Information
Church articles take the form of Holy Writ, a weird combination of technical manual and Biblical scripture. As it is obviously
somewhat difficult to incorporate things like object classifications into scriptural form, the formatting guidelines for Church Holy
Writ are somewhat different. For one, the style depends largely on which section of the Church you choose to focus on. They're divided
up below.
Broken God Writ, which is to say the classic or old-school Church we know and love, does not follow any specific formatting
guidelines, but the style is key. These are legends, or the transcriptions of legends, which are probably older than most human
civilizations. The core goal here is a mythic tone, a tendency to cover vast sweeps of time and the kinds of writing you'd see in old
legends and creation stories. These are records of the destruction of a god, and should treat their subject matter with the utmost
gravitas. Classic church Writ is never straightforward: their subject matter is couched in deep metaphor and deliberate obfuscations.
Cogwork Orthodoxy Writ is like you stuck a notebook by Da Vinci or Brunel in a blender with a King James Bible. All Cogwork writ is
taken from their massive Schema of the Patriarchs, and should be prefaced by an alphanumeric identification code hinting at the mind-
numbing volume of written material the Orthodoxy produces. They are written in an archaic style with an intense devotion to detail and
frequent use of cross-referencing. Remember that these are just as much factory output records and assembly line oversight documents
as they are liturgical texts. Lines are individually numbered, with key words being capitalized. God is referred to as The MEKHANE,
and the "Devil" as The FLESH.
Useful Notes on the Cogwork Orthodoxy
What follows is a slightly expanded version of the simple organizational notes I kept while planning and writing the Cogwork Orthodoxy
material for the contest. Obviously, none of this background info is totally all-encompassing or complete, and there are lots of gaps
and absences that you, the author, should feel free to expand upon/exploit.

Orders of the Orthodoxy
Patriarchs: A highly insular body of unknown composition and extent. Provides final decision-making and control over all Church
matters, as well as producing the memoranda and texts that become the Schema.
Schematists-Faithful: Print, compile and organize the Schema based on instructions from the Patriarchs. Theoretically equally-
ranked with all the other Orders, but in practice exert slightly more political pull because of their editing privileges over
Writ.
Legates-Faithful: Internal affairs/Inquisition/Courts system. Investigate heresy, mediate disputes, entitled to direct action
in cases of conflict within the Cathedral or other Church properties. One of the two officially Armed Orders, the other being
the Militants.
Militants-Faithful: External Affairs/Self-defence. Deal directly with overt and covert threats to the Church, beyond the purvey
of the Legates. Function as ambassadors or representatives to other groups, except in matters of doctrine (wherein Militant
forces might be used to supplement a core group of Legates). The first of the two officially Armed Orders, the other being the
Legates.
Fabricators-Faithful: Oversee production on Church properties. Act as foremen and quality control for Lay-Brothers and Sisters
working in Fabrication duties. Determine which new Inventions are to be sent to the Patriarchs for Standardization approval.
Inventors-Faithful: Tasked with refining and creating new potential Standardized designs. Embark on Quests to answer key
questions of theology and design. By default, all Church Sentient Analytical Engines act as members of the Inventors.
Notable Saints
Saint-Legate Trunnion: Patron of the Legates-Faithful, of the Tenacious, of Pragmatic Compromise. One of very few Orthodoxy
Saints not canonized posthumously, for her casting out of the Factory during the early period of the Schism. Sometimes frowned
upon by more conservative members of the Orthodoxy for her willingness to use relatively covert methods to root out heretical
thought.
Saint-Schematist Platen: Patron of the Written Word, of Editors, of Timetables and of Diagrammatic Organization. Enacted
massive reforms of the newly-founded Schematists-Faithful during the early Schism, leading to the highly organized and cross-
referential form of the 'modern' Schema. Also known for her frequent and highly successful dabblings in theology and
philosophy.
Saint-Inventor Diaphragm: Patron the Inventors-Faithful, of Designers, of Repairmen and of Cognition Engines. Founded the
Inventors-Faithful and began the first Quests for Knowledge that would lead to early Cognition and Analytical Engines. Engaged
in several well-known philosophical collaborations with Saint Platen which were fundamental to Orthodoxy philosophy of the
mind.
Saint Scranton: Patron of Spatial Fabric Manipulation, Higher-Dimensional Mathematics and Anthracite Coal Extraction. Known in
life as the 19th-century American industrialist and politician George W. Scranton, he was never a member of the church but
produced several key anomalous mechanical technologies that allowed for the analog manipulation of multi-dimensional spaces.
His works were vital jumping-off points for both the Church and the SCP Foundation, who derived much of their reality-
stabilization technology from Scranton inventions.
Saint-Fabricator Baffle: Patron of Workflow and the Assembly Line. One of the earliest foremen of the Cathedral, Baffle was
responsible for laying out the general organizational plan that the Cathedral's work areas follow today.
Saint-Inventor Chock: Patron of Chorists. Dedicated his life to the study of sound, audiology, and to composing many of the
Orthodoxy's most classic hymns. Most members of the Orthodoxy learn some or all of his Symphony of Assembly in childhood.
Saint-Inventor Enrichner: Patron of the Enetelechiated. Very little about her personal life is known, save that she
spontaneously vanished one day during a meeting of the other Inventors, leaving behind no personal effects save her seminal In
Search of Disembodiment, considered the chief text for those more spiritual members who seek life beyond their corporeal forms.
Church of Maxwellism Writ can be taken from any number of sources. Maxwellist religious documents are distributed electronically, and
are often shared and modified by individual members as a collaborative attempt to divine their true meaning. Their god supposedly is
open-source and DRM-free, after all (though sysadmins being what they are, this may not always be the case). Maxwellist texts share
the line-numbering scheme of Orthodox works, and refer to God as 'WAN'. The writing style here should be obviously formal, but
generally simple and straightforward with the exception of technical terms. Instead of cross-referencing or providing detailed work
figures, Maxwellist Writ emphasizes do-it-yourself construction and an almost instruction-booklet feel. Despite their sometimes
esoteric compiling methods, their intended audience is not priests and scholars, but individual adherents of the faith.
All Holy Writ should have the follow title format:
Title of Book
Details of Book
1. Verse 1
2. Verse 2
3. Etc
Footnotes
1. Spanish Nationalist records from 1938 mention a civilian mechanic by the name of Umberto Bumaro, who received several
governmental citations for "Miraculous feats of engineering and mechanical repair in service to the State". Whether or not this
is the same individual, and his whereabouts during the Second World War, is unknown. ↖
2. (“μηχανή”, literally “machine”) ↖
3. Relation, if any, to the "WAN" worshipped by the Church of Maxwellism remains unknown. ↖
4. "Post-Nibbanic" refers to a hypothetical state in which the converted subject achieves a state of communion with their God. ↖
5. Information retrieved from the Church likens St. Hedwig to actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr, though this claim has not been
verified. ↖

SCP-002 in its containment area
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 m³ (or 2000 ft³). 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.
view Mulhausen Report docid:00.023.603
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.

Ribbon diagram illustrating tertiary structure of SCP-008. Primary amino acid sequence
information has been redacted.
Item #: SCP-008
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-013
Item #: SCP-013
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-013 are to be kept in a 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 Ian 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.
I see her everywhere. That sad blue lady.
I feel like I used to should know her but I can’t remember. I love her but I don’t know why. She’s so beautiful and sweet and clear
but I don’t know any more.

SCP-014 (Replica)
Item #: SCP-014
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-014’s holding cell is to remain locked at all times. Personnel of sufficient clearance (as
determined by facility administrator) may be admitted to view SCP-014 after submitting a formal request three (3) weeks in advance.
Anyone handling SCP-014 must undergo Special Precautionary Protocol 014-2. All personnel exposed to SCP-014 must be subsequently
subjected to a forty-eight (48) hour quarantine and psychological evaluation. And after exposure, common sense dictates that one
should wash their hands.
Description: SCP-014 takes the form of an antique dinner fork, well worn, and, as near as can be estimated, not cleaned since the
1890s. The object is fashioned from the electroplated nickel-silver typical of the suspected period of its manufacture and the
rightmost tine is bent ( ) degrees outward. Brown stains and mold adorn the prongs and the pits of the decorative parts of
the handle. Analysis of this material seems to indicate that SCP-014 was last used on some form of beef.
SCP-014 was moved to this facility in the early 1970s and seems, for all intents and purposes, to be an entirely mundane dinner fork.
If it is possessed of any extra-ordinary qualities, these are known only to those in the very highest echelon of this project’s
coordinators, whose representatives assure us that SCP-014 is, quote, “Very Important”. Officers who have spent time alone with SCP-
014 are unanimous in their appreciation that the object is of great significance (hence its continued presence at this site), though
none can quite say why [see »Testimony of Major , February, 1972].
No tests on SCP-014 are authorized. Any personnel observed attempting to compromise SCP-014 in any way are to be terminated at once.
Note: I request that we have this SCP decommissioned immediately. It's too dangerous to be kept alive. -Agent Spoon
Note: Request denied. There is no evidence of any immediate threat. -O5-█

Interior View of SCP-015
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.

File footage of SCP-017
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 4 m. 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.
Additional Notes: Personnel with BETA clearance or higher should see also document #017-1.

SCP-019
Item #: SCP-019
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-019 is to be kept on a wide grate in a 3 m x 3 m x 4 m 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 m in 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.
SCP-019-2 specimen
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
/ /
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.
/ /
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.
/ /
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.

Item #: SCP-027
Special Containment Procedures: The host of SCP-027 (currently subject 027-02) is to be kept in a 5 m 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 in a 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 at least 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.

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. I feel like I 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, I don't think I do. I haven't really noticed anything like that.
J: You haven't felt anything different since the original host died, besides the itching?
S: No, I can't say I have.
J: What about any sort of voices, or compulsions—
S: [agitated] No, I haven't felt anything except bugs crawling all over me! I feel dirty, and scared, and Doc, what about my
family? You gotta get this thing out of me so I 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-028 before containment
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 in a 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.

requested “a moment to gather my thoughts, please”. After several seconds, Agent laughed, shook his head, and removed his service
pistol from its holster. Agent then shot and wounded Dr. , and killed Agents and , before being restrained. Post-
incident interrogation revealed Agent had extensive knowledge of classified Foundation activities, and several SCP objects he
had not been previously exposed to, including SCP-2669.
Any Foundation personnel found to have entered SCP-028's area of effect are to be detained indefinitely.

Photograph of SCP-031 discovered during initial containment.
Item #: SCP-031
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-031 is to be contained in a 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.

Item #: SCP-033
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 : I can't tell you why the hand-crafted vellum works best. I 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, I don't think it should be left on
anything longer than a few days. It will find a pattern eventually.
Prof. Hutchinson : I don't think it "destroys" anything. I 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.

Depiction of SCP-035 without its ever-present secretions
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.

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: "It 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 I was in that room with Kent and forty-one, I 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 I think, 'Ya know, if I 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… I 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.

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.
Item #: SCP-049
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 III 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[1], 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.
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.
SCP-049 is capable of speech in a variety of languages, though tends to prefer English or medieval French[2]. 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.
2. The entity claims to have originated in 15th century France, though admits that it is "particularly well-traveled".
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[3]. While these surgeries are not always
"successful", they often result in the creation of instances of SCP-049-2.
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.
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.
SCP-049 upon discovery.
The following interview was conducted by Dr. Raymond Hamm during the initial investigation.
Audio Attachment - External Link
Interviewer: Dr. Raymond Hamm, Site-85
Interviewee: SCP-049
[BEGIN LOG]
SCP-049: (In French) So then, how should we begin? An introduction?
Dr. Hamm: (Aside) Is that French? Can we get a translator-
SCP-049: (In English) The King's English! No need for translation, sir, I can speak it well enough.
Dr. Hamm: Good. My name is Dr. Raymond Hamm, and I-
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 I worried I had been abducted by common street thugs!
(Looks around the room) This place, then. This is your laboratory? I 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, I 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) I don't know what that is.
Dr. Hamm: I 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! I 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! I will require a laboratory of my own, one where I can continue my research unimpeded.
And assistants, of course, though I can provide those on my own, in time. (Laughs)
Dr. Hamm: I 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.OL.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.
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."
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 "I have learned so much from this, though I fear my early optimism was misplaced. I 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.OL.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[4].
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.
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[5]. 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]
6. SCP-049 added to this statement by saying "This is, of course, elementary knowledge for the practical physician. I would have thought you would have learned
this during your education!"
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.
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 I understand what you're doing. Can you describe
your process in detail?
SCP-049: Oh goodness no, the process is most intensive. As I said to your assistant, the best instruction you will find about my
methods are here in my journals, as I have kept exhaustive records of my work[7] there.
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.
Dr. Hamm: I 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. I 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, I 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. I 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. I am a professional, but even professionals may feel the
bite of pride in dealing with criticism of their masterpiece. I will forgive this as an act of good faith between colleagues.
Dr. Hamm: Is there anything else I 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. I 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. I 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
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Sherman: I need you to explain yourself.
(No response)
Dr. Sherman: SCP-049, you are being directed to explain your actions, and I 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: (Interrupting, angrily) Not dead! No! Not not dead. He is he is cured.
Dr. Sherman: Cured? Cured of what?
SCP-049: The Pestilence, sir! I had thought you, at least, would realize what luck it is I detected it before-
Dr. Sherman: (Interrupting) 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 (pauses) 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 I did to him. He is cured.
Dr. Sherman: He is a vegetable!
SCP-049: (Pauses) I I would not expect you to understand. You and your your ilk have proven time and time again to be not men of
science, but men of- of emotion. You cannot appreciate the horrors I 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 SIR I have saved it! You would allow this world to slip back into the, the- the despair of disease and death,
ignoring that I 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 I (breath catches) I cured him. I 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! I can save them all! I can cast down
this plague, once and for all. I can do this! Only me! I I (labored breathing) I saved I saved him Dr. Hamm, I I cured him he
was sick, I know he was sick, I know he was, and I you are all sick, but I I can save you. I can save all of you, because I I am
the cure.
[END LOG]
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
[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 I look forward to the day when you will allow me to resume my work! I 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 I 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. I 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, I am decided. My cure is of little use on dead flesh, and I have gleaned all I 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, I wouldn't be so sure.

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, I don't know what you're talking about. I 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> I 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. I mean, I don't know what it is, but I 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.

Item #: SCP-058
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-058 is to be kept in isolation in a 5 m by 5 m 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 speaks 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 faculty and 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 wide
spread 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: I had dreams of the queen wonders that lived inside the hearts of love and silent treatments of all the elderly that I knew
were once whole.
Dr Johnston: What is your name?
SCP-058: I 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: In 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.

Specimens of SCP-060, prior to initial containment.
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.
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 Corhill 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.

Item #: SCP-079
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-079 is packed away in a 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 AI. 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 AI 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 a containment 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:
(O5-4), 01/27/2006: Directed that SCP-079 be incinerated to remove any possible future threat, no matter how unlikely.
Addendum:
(O5-9), 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:
: (O5-4), 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 700MB
capacity. This provides SCP-079 with significantly faster access to its memory, which the AI 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:
: (O5-4), 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 AI 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 (pause) 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. I 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.

Static reproduction of SCP-085
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 M C 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, I guess. Would make a neat exercise track.
Researcher: You see nothing inconsistent with the staircase?
SCP-085: No, as far as I 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
Prior to - - , 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, in a 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.

Item #: SCP-087
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.
Figure B: SCP-087-1; Enhanced image from still taken from Exploration I.
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-I through 087-IV for transcripts of Explorations I - IV.

Item #: SCP-093
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
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

SCP-093 'Green' Test
SCP-093 'Violet' Test
SCP-093 'Yellow' Test
SCP-093 'Red' Test
The following data has been classified. Personnel requesting this data must read all declassified test data and have the approval of

The Atomic Adventures of Ronnie Ray-Gun

Reel to Reel
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

Barry Betelgeuse on Planet Afgar
Diamond Donnie in Puttin' on the Ritz!

Item #: SCP-096
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-096 is to be contained in its cell, a 5 m x 5 m x 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.
Audio log from Interview 096-1:
Interviewer: Dr. ███

Interviewed: Captain (Ret.) █████████, former commander of retrieval team Zulu 9-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 - o 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. I 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, I 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. I 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. ███: So no 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. I don't know how I never saw its face. Maybe God or Buddha or whoever thought I 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, I don't think I want to put a
face to what I heard. No. Just no.
Dr. ███: All right, I 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. ███: Let this be on record that I am formally requesting SCP-096 be terminated as soon as possible.

SCP-100's storefront, exterior
Item #: SCP-100
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 car compressors and forklifts.
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 patrolling a temporary fence repair
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 the 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 landowner 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. The 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 scheduled 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.

Item #: SCP-106
Object Class: Keter
11-6 Hide
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.

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.
Corrosion damage on the initial recovery cell. Containment procedures have since been
revised.
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 at a 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 “play”
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.
Agent , after "release" by SCP-106. Subject had been missing for two hours. Subject
remained alive for one hour after release.
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].

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, I must deny testing of SCP-117 with SCP-882. The risk of damaging SCP-882 is simply too great to overlook."

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,

Instance of SCP-122-1.
Item #: SCP-122
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-122 is to be stored in a 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 unpowered 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 lx. 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[1]. These dreams
have been found to cause minor psychological disturbances, and all personnel should be given weekly psychological evaluations. See
Incident 122-1.
1. Proposals to determine SCP-2840's effects on these dreams are currently pending approval.
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.

SCP-127.
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.

SCP-134 under normal lighting conditions
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

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.

A reproduction of SCP-140
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:
I 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 in over 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.

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 Ɣ-6's investigation, Dr.
[Ɣ6-0912] 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. [Ɣ6-0421] 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 ºS ºW,
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 Ɣ6-0421'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-173 in containment
Item #: SCP-173
Special Containment Procedures: Item SCP-173 is to be kept in a 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-178 with the temples folded.
Item #: SCP-178
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-178 is to be stored in a 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 of a 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 #178-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.

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]

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 on 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 these 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) project of the Foundation, which currently involves SCP- ,
SCP- , SCP- - and SCP- [1]
, XCPOA-003 to -042 , Site-34, Site-103, Site-98, Area-08, Site- , Site- - , and and Command
Site- , as well as several personnel embedded within different space agencies and international consortia related to space
exploration. All data of interest related to or obtained through SCP-179 will be marked COEWS-179, which will be considered high
priority information to all Foundation departments.
1. Experimental Foundation Orbital Assets (XCPOA).
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, on 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> 23rd 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 on 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> 403rd 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? I 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. I am the lookout. I behold. I often see. I often warn. Almost always, when I 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: I was born a child. (the entity nods towards Earth.)
RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: For how long have you been in your current location?
SCP-179: I 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: I was grown into a woman. This is how I 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: I am sorry. I won't be yours. I 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. I 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: I am too big, and you are too small. There is a sea of nothing and islands of light. I am their shore. To you come the
monsters. The pounding fists of void. The longing gods beyond our knowledge. I am the lookout. I 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 I am here. There are others. Others I assist. Others I 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 I know. Others I 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 I love. Dearly. And yet, only my
brother is an equal to me.
RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: Excuse me, I don't understand what you mean by "others." Could you, please, explain yourself with other words?
SCP-179: (smiles) But I 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-191, in containment.
Item #: SCP-191
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-191 is currently housed in a 6 m x 6 m room 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 - - . Its 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
spends 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.

SCP-198 in its current form
Item #: SCP-198
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 I.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
are 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.

Wilson Score: 0.63
Original Version
Item #: SCP-200
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 retrieved from , , USA on / /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. , a local 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.

Item #: SCP-205
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.
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 room in , on - - . No sign 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.

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.

Telephone pole infested by SCP-229
Item #: SCP-229
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.
Large SCP-229 infestation in an Iraq neighborhood. Picture taken shortly before

sterilization.
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.

the dragon waits in shadows, his breath will scorch the land. the hero in the castle draws his sword and makes his stand.
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.
the princess in the tower is hidden far away. but nothing under heaven can keep The Groom at bay.
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.
Luke 23:34.
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.
they gather round with leering smiles, the soulless and the dead. though her soul unwinds, the cruelest minds will keep her in her bed.
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.
the potter told his 'prentice to prepare him seven jars. six he made with grace and skill, the last his hands did mar.
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.

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. the hens were in the henhouse and seven eggs did lay, till the fox crept in by dark of night and stole the eggs away.

a day not far away she'll birth the death of time.
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, I 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.
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.
Sincerely,
O5-
Don't believe it when they say they're trying to save her. Why would they bother? They've got exactly what they want exactly where they want it.
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.
the doctor never tells his god which one he really seeks. instead he hides himself away, and quietly, he weeps.
Dr. ████
Addendum 231-d: Decision

Proverbs 1:32
Carry out Option 2 at the first available opportunity.

their god's own voice, he makes the choice, declaring with their word. "in fear and pain let her remain, lest she be like the third."
O5-██
Addendum 231-e: Aftermath

Ezekiel 6:14
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 treatment.
the doctor's gun ended his run, as he put it to his ear. as she was defiled, the pitied child, he gave it to his fear.
Dr. ██████████
Addendum 231-f: Continued Analysis of Efficacy of Treatment

Revelation 18:21-24
After some analysis, I 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.
her memory a fickle thing, the strongest shall endure. when her weeping starts to waver, their drugs make her mind pure.

Item #: SCP-258
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-258 is to be kept in a 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 in a 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-258 constantly appears to 'weep' streams of SCP-258-1, at a 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-294 at time of recovery
Item #: SCP-294
Special Containment Procedures: There are no standard special containment procedures on file for Item SCP-294. However, only personnel
of security clearance level 2 or higher are allowed to interact with it (see document SCP-294a). SCP-294 is currently being stored in
the 2nd floor personnel break room and is monitored by two guards of security clearance level 3 at all times.
Description: Item SCP-294 appears to be a standard coffee vending machine, the only noticeable difference being an entry touchpad with
buttons corresponding to an English QWERTY keyboard. Upon depositing fifty cents US currency into the coin slot, the user is prompted
to enter the name of any liquid using the touchpad. Upon doing so, a standard 12-ounce paper drinking cup is placed and the liquid
indicated is poured. Ninety-seven initial test runs were performed (including requests for water, coffee, beer, and soda, non-
consumable liquids such as sulfuric acid, wiper fluid, and motor oil, as well as substances that do not usually exist in liquid state,
such as nitrogen, iron and glass) and each one returned a success. Test runs with solid materials such as diamond have failed,
however, as it appears that SCP-294 can only deliver substances that can exist in liquid state.
It is of note that after approximately fifty uses, the machine would not respond to further requests. After a period of approximately
90 minutes, the machine seemed to have restocked itself. It is also interesting to note that many caustic liquids that would have
eaten through a normal paper cup seemed to have no effect on the cups dispensed by the machine.
Testing is ongoing. As suggested, SCP-294 was moved to the 2nd floor personnel break room as a money-saving venture. Following
incident 294-01, guards were stationed at the item and a security clearance became necessary to interact with it.
Document SCP-294a (regarding incident 294-01): On August 21, 2005, Agent Joseph attempted to use Item SCP-294 to obtain coffee
during his allotted break time at 9:30 AM. At the request of Agent "to see what it would do", requested "a cup
of Joe" from the item. Moments after confirming the selection, Agent Joseph began to sweat profusely and complained of
dizziness before collapsing. After moving the unconscious agent to the infirmary, the medical team recovered the contents of the cup
dispensed by Item SCP-294: a combination of blood, tissue, and other bodily fluids. Testing revealed the DNA sequence of the
biological material dispensed by SCP-294 matched that of Agent .
Agent made a complete recovery after four weeks of rest and intravenous hydration. X-rays and CAT scans showed no further signs
of injury, and was released. Both agents were reprimanded. Additional security measures for SCP-294 have been recommended.
Addendum [SCP-294f]: After reviewing documentation on SCP-294, suggested testing SCP-294's ability to 'retrieve' specific
liquids from a distance.
Addendum [SCP-294h]: With the overseeing of O5-[DATA EXPUNGED] "a cup of SCP-075's secretion" was used as input. The product was
proven to be the requested liquid and the cup was able to successfully contain the material. However, the report for incident 075-07
was acknowledged 2 hours after the test (See Addendum [SCP-075m]). A containment procedure breach had occurred exactly the same time
this test was taking place, waking SCP-075 to its active stage. It was able to secrete an amount of basic solution equal to the
capacity of a coffee cup before emergency containment procedure was applied and it was rendered passive. The liquid was not found in
the post-incident investigation.
Addendum [SCP-294i]: Researcher punched in request for "cup of gold". The machine dispensed a cup of molten gold. Researcher requested
similar precious materials with the same result.
Addendum [SCP-294j]: Researcher punched in (from a safe range) request for "cup of anti-water". The machine hummed briefly, then
displayed "OUT OF RANGE" on entry pad. It is theorized that SCP-294 has a limited range of collection, and cannot reach into alternate
universes/dimensions.
Addendum [SCP-294k]: Researcher punched in request for "diamond". SCP-294 briefly hummed, then displayed "OUT OF RANGE" on entry pad.
SCP-294 gives this result for all solid substances. As diamond is a solid crystalline form of carbon, it appears the machine will not
dispense liquid carbon, as this does not result in a "diamond". When "cup of carbon" was subsequently punched in, the machine
dispensed a cup of liquid carbon. SCP-294 was immune to the damaging effects of the dispensed liquid.
Addendum [SCP-294m]: Testing for range of SCP-294's capacity for retrieval has been initiated. A unique compound has been formulated,
composed of undisclosed ratios of brand bleach, brand cola, MET-RX powder, and Garam masala. The fluid was
created and placed in a sealed container 25 meters away from SCP 294. When requested, the fluid was dispensed. An equal amount of the
mixture was no longer present in its original container.
Addendum [SCP-294o-01]: Researcher , under observation of Level 4 personnel, keyed in a request of "the best drink I've ever
had". SCP-294 dispensed a fluid similar in appearance to cola. The researcher identified it as a mixed drink he recalls having at a
bar during his bachelor party, and was convinced it was "the best drink". did not know what ingredients were in the drink
besides rum and cola. Further tests are scheduled to ascertain how SCP-294 gathers information.
Addendum [SCP-294o-01a]: Under the same conditions, Agent "the best drink I've ever had". SCP-294 delivered a dark fluid
topped with white foam which was later identified as Vienna lager. The cup was printed with a color picture of five (5) men and two
(2) women drinking beer on the beach; was one of them. In his briefing, Agent confirmed that his favorite drink ever
was a Vienna lager he consumed at the beach with his friends. It has now been confirmed that SCP-294 has the ability to directly
gather information from someone's mind in order to comply with the given conditions.
Addendum [SCP-294q-01]: Subject keyed "the perfect drink." The machine dispensed a cup containing an odorless lavender liquid. After
drinking the liquid, subject appeared to go into shock. Subject later committed suicide, leaving a note which read "I'm sorry, but at
this point everything's just one big letdown." Requesting such a drink again is highly discouraged. None of the components of the
drink have yet been identified.
Addendum [SCP-294t-01]: Subject keyed in "something Cassy will like". The device was heard to hum for about three seconds, before
dispensing an empty cup. Printed on the side of the cup was an image of a traditional soda fountain glass, filled with something
brown, and topped with whipped cream. Upon introduction to SCP-085, it was identified by her as a chocolate banana milkshake and
judged 'delicious'.
Addendum [SCP-294w]: Researcher keyed in request for "a cup of music". SCP-294 produced a clear, sparkling fluid that tasted vaguely
alcoholic. Following ingestion, subject reported "feeling" and not hearing, a continuous rhythm, and demonstrated the ability to move
and even dance with a certain fluidity that he had not previously shown. Testing on other abstract concepts is continuing.
Addendum [SCP-294ab]: During a mass security breach, Agent requested "a cup of pertinent medical knowledge" while taking
shelter inside the second floor break room. Of the four agents in the room, Agent was the only one who was not injured. SCP-294
poured a cup of clear green liquid. Following the ingestion of this substance, Agent began mending the other agents' wounds in
a manner consistent with Foundation medical training. Agent no longer has the medical training that the liquid provided and
other attempts to recreate the effect have failed. The agent has speculated that this event was an emergency measure taken by the
object to ensure self-preservation.
Addendum [SCP-294ac]: Dr. requested "my life story" from SCP-294; SCP-294 made humming noises and shook violently for
approximately 3 minutes before providing a highly viscous, opaque black liquid. Upon consumption, Dr. reported that he
remembered everything that had ever happened to him. Following this test, Dr. entered his office and returned 48 hours later
with a 538-page autobiography.
Addendum [SCP-294ad]: Researcher produced request consisting solely of the phrase "surprise me". Device produced an opaque cup
containing normal water, later determined to have been heated to approximately 200 degrees Celsius. Upon receiving vibration from
transport, the contents of the cup turned into steam, violently spraying boiling water in a 2-meter radius.
Addendum [SCP-294af]: Researcher produced request for "Blood of Christ". SCP-294 vibrated and produced the message "Hic est enim Calix
Sánguinis mei", then produced a paper drinking cup containing approximately 0.12 liters of red grape wine.
Addendum [SCP-294ag]: Researcher produced requests for "cup of Smilodon blood", "cup of passenger pigeon blood", and "cup of Thomas
Jefferson's blood", and received three "OUT OF RANGE" errors.
Addendum [SCP-294ah]: A D-class personnel with IQ of 99 and low curiosity scores was given written instructions about what to request.
The D-class personnel produced a request for 'blood of canis lupus' and received a cup of liquid subsequently identified as wolf
blood. The D-class personnel next produced a request for 'saliva of equus ferus caballus' and received a cup of liquid subsequently
identified as horse saliva. The D-class personnel next produced a request for "urine of phascolarctos cinereus' and received a cup of
liquid subsequently identified as koala urine. The D-class personnel next produced a request for "cerebrospinal fluid of phoberomys
pattersoni" and received a cup of liquid currently undergoing analysis. It is to be noted that Phoberomys pattersoni went extinct
during the late Miocene epoch, approximately 8 million years ago.
Addendum [SCP-294ai]: Dr. King produced request for "a cup of room-temperature superconductor", and received a cup of apple juice with
seeds floating in it.
Addendum [SCP-294aj]: Dr. Menchu produced request for "cup of D-151839's leukemia", and received a cup of fluid; the fluid was
microscopically examined and found to contain leukemic blast cells, which were a genetic match to D-151839. A second request for "cup
of D-151839's leukemia" resulted in an "OUT OF RANGE" error. D-151839 was subsequently found to be free of leukemia; however, within
15 days, the leukemia had recurred.

Agent Beatrix Maddox demonstrates the safe way to handle SCP-297
Item #: SCP-297
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-297 is to be kept in a standard lockbox 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, according to standard
operating procedure. Personnel wishing to utilize SCP-297 for experimental or field purposes must fill out a Form-32 and submit it to
the head of Research and Containment.
Description: SCP-297 is a transparent plastic vibrator, approximately 30 cm in length, 5 cm in width. Examination has determined that
the internal structure has been heavily altered, and that the standard 6 V power supply has been converted into what appears to be a
micronized nuclear reactor powered by a small quantity of plutonium.
In addition, the standard power/intensity controls have been altered from the normal on/off switch with secondary intensity dial, to a
single five-stage selector switch. The bottom four intensity levels (off, low, medium, high) appear to be within normal parameters for
such a device, and can be used safely for such purposes if so desired.
When turned to the highest intensity setting (labeled "suicide"), SCP-297's vibration frequency swiftly increases to upwards of
200,000 kHz. If the upper portion of the device is touched to any solid material, SCP-297 will change frequency to one that causes a
positive harmonic feedback loop in the object, causing the object to lose cohesion within sixty seconds of continual contact. This
invariably kills organisms that it is exposed to.
Experimentation has determined that SCP-297 can disintegrate a 1 meter cube of concrete into powder within ten seconds. The time
required for other objects varies, based on the density and harmonic properties of the material. Due to the similarities between the
effects of SCP-297 and SCP-1012, investigation into whether both effects are variations of the same phenomena are ongoing.
Addendum: Circumstances of Retrieval: SCP-297 was retrieved from the third basement of the parking structure of a thirty-story
apartment building in Los Angeles, California, on - - . According to eyewitnesses, the device bored a vertical hole through the
entire building's northwestern corner, starting from the 30th floor and proceeding, floor by floor, through the entire structure,
until a maintenance worker neutralized the device by turning it off. All witnesses were detained and administered Class A amnestics,
and the device was retrieved by Foundation personnel. A large quantity of organic slurry (later identified as a liquefied human body)
was found on the thirtieth floor, at the upper limit of the damage.

Item #: SCP-306
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Frozen samples of SCP-306 are stored at Bio-Research Site-101. Research on SCP-306 is to be carried
out under Biosafety Level 4 protocols.
Subjects infected with SCP-306 are to be immediately placed under quarantine. Any items making physical contact with infected subjects
or SCP-306 residue are to be incinerated. Personnel interacting with infected subjects are to remain in full hazmat containment suits.
Personnel interacting with infected subjects or SCP-306 residue are to remain under mandatory quarantine and submit to twice-daily
examination for a period of two (2) weeks after interaction.
Containment breaches within controlled environments will result in lockdown of affected area. Personnel within the affected area are
to remain in place until cleared for release. Hazmat teams are to remove and examine personnel for signs of infection. Infected
personnel are to be quarantined. Affected area is to then be sterilized.
A 1km radius around any areas experiencing an outbreak of SCP-306 is to be quarantined. Areas are to have all water and sewer systems
sealed. Hazmat teams are to be deployed in the area, and all persons in the quarantine zone are to be evacuated and screened for
infection. Uninfected persons are to be released, with non-Foundation employees administered Class B amnestics. Infected persons are
to be terminated. Following completed evacuation, enclosed areas are to be sterilized with ethylene oxide. In unenclosed areas,
controlled burning, followed by a ground sweep, are to be enacted. Wetlands harboring SCP-306 are to be impounded, filled, and sealed
with concrete. Preventing SCP-306 from infecting any large body of water is an Alpha-class priority.
Description: SCP-306 is a fungus related to the genus Trichophyton. SCP-306 can infect humans through inhalation of spores or by skin
to skin contact. Initial symptoms of infection include coughing and sneezing, and skin lesions. Lesions caused by SCP-306 display a
morphology similar to the benign epithelial tumors caused by HPV infection, and reach full size after approximately two (2) days.
Lesions are prone to shedding, after which another lesion forms underneath. Lesions that fall from the body of infected subjects are
light enough to be carried by wind, and capable of spreading SCP-306 for years. If untreated, lesions caused by SCP-306 can cover the
body within two (2) weeks. SCP-306 appears to mainly infect humans; however, testing is ongoing to determine any additional carriers.
SCP-306 has been shown to grow in nearly all biological matter.
SCP-306's primary anomalous property will only manifest when growing on human tissue. When infecting a human, SCP-306 secretes several
previously unknown enzymes. These enzymes catalyze an unknown process which drastically alters the structure of cells, resulting in
the formation of several extra organelles of an indeterminate function.
Approximately two (2) weeks following infection, infected subjects begin to develop major physiological modifications. Over the course
of the next three (3) weeks, subjects rapidly lose weight, followed by the development of abnormal pigmentation and increased water
permeability of skin. Subjects who are still able to speak describe being in constant, excruciating pain. Over the next two (2) to
five (5) months, symptoms include:
Shrinkage of organ systems

Reshaping of the skeletal system
Rapid decrease in intellect
This process can last between two (2) and five (5) months, after which subjects are referred to as SCP-306-1.
Instances of SCP-306-1 on average weigh 25-30kg, measuring 0.5m in length. SCP-306-1 have an appearance similar to amphibians, but
correspond to no known species. Autopsies of deceased SCP-306-1 specimens have revealed that internal structures remain
morphologically similar to human organs following metamorphosis. Instances appear to enjoy human presence, and actively attempt to
gain contact when in human presence. SCP-306-1 remain extremely infectious, with any direct physical contact resulting in infection by
SCP-306. SCP-306-1 are capable of reproduction in a similar manner to Agalychnis callidryas.
SCP-306 was discovered in [REDACTED] Louisiana in a swampy area when locals reported a colony of unknown amphibious creatures, coupled
with a string of unexplained disappearances. Foundation agents were deployed to the scene to investigate, leading to the objects
discovery. Since this event, additional SCP-306 outbreaks have been found in the south-eastern United States.
SCP-306 is treatable with polyene and triazole antifungals in early stages resistant to nearly all treatment, with the exception of
high heat. See Addenda.
Addendum 1: Testing on SCP-306 has shown the fungus to be able to grow in nearly all biological matter, including most vertebrates.
However, only humans have been shown to develop any deleterious effects from infection. Due to the possibility of a major outbreak,
Dr. is requesting increased funding for research into SCP-306.
Addendum 2: Memo from Site- Director , / /198
Based off Dr.████'s research into SCP-306, we now consider it extremely likely that large reservoirs of SCP-306 exist in the wild.
Because of both the physical danger and danger to secrecy presented, all sites are advised to monitor for wild SCP-306 reservoirs. Any
confirmed vectors are to be dealt with by applicable regional forces.
Addendum 3: As of / /198 , Site- has reported decreased efficacy of antifungal sprays used to combat SCP-306. O5-6 has authorized
further testing to determine the cause of this change.
Addendum 4: Incident I-306-3.

On / /198 , all 12 contained instances of SCP-306-1 escaped primary containment during routine feeding. Researcher Thomson was
fatally injured by a stray bullet as security subdued the specimens.
The following is a transcript of an interview conducted with Researcher Fillis immediately following the breach.
Level 3 Clearance Required Access Granted
Interviewed: Researcher Fillis
Interviewer: Agent Lennard
<Begin Log>
Lennard: Thank you for being here on short notice.
Fillis: Sure.
Lennard: Alright, first order of business, please state what you were doing when the breach occurred.
Fillis: Well, I was conducting feeding for the Three Oh Six Dash One specimens. What's his name, uh, Thomson was getting the feed
and I was gonna administer it. I did a count of the specimens, there were eleven, but that was wrong, because there should have been
twelve. So I told Thomson to look at the logs and see if one had been moved to another site. All of a sudden, there's this flash of
motion, and next thing I know I'm being pinned down by some of the specimens. I don't remember what happened after that. When I woke
up, they were gone, and security was already there. Thomson was lying on the ground bleeding from his mouth. The guards escorted me
out.
Lennard: So you were attacked by the specimens?
Fillis: Basically.
Lennard: I understand that these creatures are normally quite docile. What caused this aggressive behavior?
Fillis: OK We've been performing some new testing on the specimens.
Lennard: What kind of testing?
Fillis: Intelligence testing. Putting them through mazes, training them, that sort of thing.
Lennard: And what does this have to do with the breach?
Fillis: Everything. These guys were speeding through puzzles, memorizing commands almost instantly. We looked at the data, and these
guys are as smart as primates. Smarter even than that, we tried teaching them how to read, how to write, and they picked it up in
the blink of an eye.
Lennard: I have documentation that says those creatures are no more intelligent than a common tree frog.
Fillis: That's what we thought at first. But this testing, it showed that we were dead wrong. They were writing coherent notes to
us, they told us what their names were. We gave one of them an IQ test, it scored 127. These things are humans, trapped in the
bodies of frogs.
Lennard: So what led to their aggressive behavior then?
Fillis: One of them asked us to bring in some stuff for it to read, so Thomson brought in this kids book with some fairy tales in
it. Seemed like they had enjoyed it, but after that, they started getting angry with us. They were depressed. They wrote notes
telling us that we had no right to keep them here, that they needed to be out in the world, they needed to be free.
Lennard: What exactly did they expect to be able to accomplish if they were able to escape?
Fillis: I don't know.
Lennard: Ok, I believe we are done here.
Fillis: Wait, before you go, can you tell me what happened to Thomson?
Lennard: KIA. Stray bullet in the chest.
Fillis: That's a shame. He was going to bring them another story.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Due to the information revealed in the incident, I order all contained instances of SCP-306-1 to be immediately
terminated. They are now presenting a major obstacle to successful containment of an already dangerous object.
-O5-3
Addendum 5: Dr. has found that most samples of SCP-306 display wide-spectrum resistance to antifungals. Upgrade to Keter pending.

Original Version
Item #: SCP-330
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Considering recent incidents, SCP-330 is to be kept in secure storage until further notice. Level 2
Clearance is required for access to SCP-330 or its contents. All direct experimentation of SCP-330 is to be conducted using Class D
personnel with no genetic history of diabetes. No more than two (2) samples are to be removed from SCP-330 at any time, except during
exposure testing.
Description: SCP-330 appears to be a small round stainless steel bowl filled with a variable amount of individually wrapped pieces of
candy. Taped to the side of the bowl is a handwritten note, reading “take no more than two, please!!” Attempts to remove the note have
met with failure, as have attempts to hide or obscure it. Testers have noted finding it impossible to avoid reading the note, and
those who approach it from an opposite angle are aware of this request.
When a quantity of candy greater than two pieces is removed, regardless of the means involved, the offender instantly has both hands
severed at the wrists by an unknown method. Tests involving remote manipulation by Class D personnel resulted in the operator’s hands
being removed despite no direct contact. Inspection of the incision reveals that the cut is made at a molecular level, leaving no tool
marks or identifying factors. It is to be noted that the third piece must be removed within a certain timeframe. After 24 hours, the
count “resets”, and additional candy can be removed.
Discovered 3 days after Halloween of 20 , when a police investigation into what was believed to be a case of ritualistic
dismemberment was launched. SCP-330 was seized as evidence, but all attending officers were killed after Officer emptied the
bowl of its contents. The cause of death was a result of [DATA EXPUNGED]. Foundation Agents, under the guise of federal agents,
recovered the object with acceptable casualties.
Addendum: Due to continuing security issues, SCP-330 will be held in Dr. Kondraki’s office when not required for testing.
Experiment:
Name: Researcher Voct
Date: / /20
Subject D-330-01, a double amputee equipped with prosthetic forearms and hands, was told to remove three pieces of candy from the
bowl. Subject complied, with no immediate effects. However, within 45 seconds, subject reported a burning itch from both his arm
stumps (right arm: 2 cm below elbow; left arm: 1.5 cm below elbow), and phantom pains from both his absent wrists. Subject's distress
at this discomfort increased rapidly; within 180 seconds of having removed the third candy from the bowl, the subject began forcibly
removing both his own prostheses. Upon hurling the prostheses to the ground, subject reported that the discomfort had ceased.
Dermatological examination of subject's stumps revealed no unusual irritation or inflammation; mechanical examination of subject's
prostheses revealed that, in addition to the physical damage sustained by being hurled to the ground, the prostheses had [DATA
EXPUNGED].
Subject was supplied with fresh prostheses, identical to the first pair, but reported feeling that it was "wrong" to put them on.
Coercion was applied, and subject reluctantly put on left prosthesis (note: subject is right-handed). However, when told to put on
right prosthesis, subject began weeping incoherently and flailing his arms until the left prosthesis detached itself. Analysis of
video footage revealed that subject had not properly attached the left prosthesis to his stump; mechanical examination of left
prosthesis revealed only physical damage sustained from being thrown across the room.
Twenty-four hours later, subject was given fresh prostheses, and reported no difficulty in putting them on. Subject not terminated, as
D-class amputees who are already used to their prostheses are in short supply.

SCP-339
Item #: SCP-339
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-339 is contained at Site-49. The room containing SCP-339 is 5 m X 5 m X 5 m and sound-proofed.
SCP-339 is sealed in a sound-proofed container on a 1.5 m pedestal in the center of the room. The room is only accessible through an
outer sound-proofed airlock.
All personnel entering SCP-339’s holding room for maintenance must maintain absolute silence and wear noise-reducing foam-lined boots,
available in the airlock. Regular maintenance of SCP-339 is to occur on the 15th of every month, and consists of replacing the
degraded sound-proofed container with a new one.
No one is to enter SCP-339’s holding room for any reason other than maintenance.
Description: SCP-339 is a group of tendrils extending off a central mass. It is approximately 50 cm from tip-to-tip, although this is
variable. It appears to be made out of weathered copper, but shows a much higher level of durability and independent mobility. The
individual tendrils constantly move as though underwater, continually grinding on the sides of any containment, silently pulverizing
it at a gradual but constant rate. Because of this, the sound-proofed box it is currently contained in must be replaced at regular
intervals.
Any noise above 14 decibels will cause SCP-339 to become hostile. During this noise and for a length of time equal to 5 times the
duration of the noise, any movement within visual range will result in the immediate reaction of SCP-339. SCP-339 will expand by
extruding tendrils at an extremely high rate, ensnaring any moving organisms or objects, designated "targets." Once the movement has
been restricted, SCP-339's tendrils begin to vibrate at rapidly increasing oscillations until the target is rendered incapable of
movement. Note that once a target is ensnared, SCP-339 appears to be able to determine when the target truly becomes incapable of
movement rather than merely when it stops moving.
SCP-339 will then return to its base shape and size. At this point, secretions of blood and a slurry of bone and muscle tissue from
the central mass are to be expected. All movements of SCP-339 are completely silent, even at very high oscillations that should
produce noise.
History: SCP-339 was recovered in Iran in 1953, during Operation Ajax on the part of the Iranian military. It was found in one of
Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadeq's private collections. After the deaths of the Iranian soldiers sent to secure this collection, the
Foundation was alerted and took control. SCP-339 was found in a velvet-draped room on a pedestal.
A quote from the Persian poet Saadi was engraved onto the pedestal in Persian: "Nothing is so good for an ignorant man as silence; and
if he was sensible of this he would not be ignorant."

SCP-354 as it was originally discovered.
Item #: SCP-354
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP-354's immobile nature, Area-354 has been built around it. Area-354 houses forces and D-
class personnel prepared to deal with threats emerging from SCP-354, as well as researchers studying SCP-354 and its properties. For
their own safety, no on-site personnel are to approach SCP-354 at any time. Direct interaction with SCP-354 is permitted only for the
purpose of research to eliminate SCP-354 and must be approved by O5 personnel.
Area-354 was constructed to contain and neutralize any and all further threats emerging from SCP-354. At the heart of Area-354, a
twenty (20) foot wall of concrete reinforced with [DATA EXPUNGED] has been constructed around SCP-354 to prevent emerging entities
from escaping into the area at large. High-speed motion detection cameras are placed atop the wall looking down into the pool, and
armed guards can easily shoot down into the enclosure from catwalks placed above the pool.
Description: SCP-354 is a pool of red liquid discovered in northern Canada. The liquid is of a consistency similar to that of human
blood (hence the colloquial name Blood Pond) but is not of a biological nature. The pool does not have definite banks; soil mixes with
the liquid until, at a certain point, there is more soil than liquid and the ground is mostly solid. The liquid becomes denser as one
descends deeper into the pool; if the pool has a bottom, it has yet to be reached.
Periodically, entities emerge from the pool and attempt to escape from the enclosure. Thus far, nearly all creatures emerging from
SCP-354 have been extremely hostile and highly dangerous.
SCP-354 is believed to have been first discovered in by survivors of a plane crash, who encountered SCP-354 by chance. SCP-354
had developed into a local urban legend long before Foundation personnel arrived to deal with the threat.
After locating the source of the legend, SCP personnel set up Watch Station Epsilon-38 to monitor the pool and to deter future
travellers from finding it. SCP-354 was classified as Euclid until its properties were further discovered.
At 1403 hours on , an unidentified entity emerged from SCP-354. Contact with Watch Station Epsilon-38 was lost. Mobile Task Force
was dispatched to deal with the entity and were eventually successful. All personnel at Watch Station Epsilon-38 were found dead.
Area-354 was subsequently constructed to contain SCP-354.
Document 354-1-a: Partial log of entities to have emerged from SCP-354 prior to Event 354-20.
SCP-354-1: Original entity which destroyed Watch Station Epsilon-38. Resembled a giant bat. Neutralized by Mobile Task Force .
SCP-354-2: Bear-sized mammalian creature covered in razor-sharp spines. Resembled an echidna. Was virtually bulletproof, but was
unable to escape the enclosure surrounding the pool. Neutralized via napalm.
SCP-354-3: Black metallic sphere capable of levitation. Emitted concentrated levels of radiation in precisely directed beams
sufficient to instantly cripple and later result in death. Then-Area Head Dr. struck SCP-354-3 with a sledgehammer, disabling
it. SCP-354-3 then self-detonated, causing minor structural damage and severely wounding Dr. . Dr. made a full recovery
and has been commended for his bravery.
SCP-354-4: Humanoid reptilian creature, approximately 4.6m (15ft) tall. Escaped both the walled enclosure and Area-354 altogether.
Gunfire caused very little physical harm and was highly ineffective. Mobile Task Force Omega-7 "Pandora's Box" was dispatched and was
successful in neutralizing the creature.
SCP-354-5: [DATA EXPUNGED]
SCP-354-6: Appeared to be a human male of Indian descent. As the enclosure around the pool had not yet been fully repaired, SCP-354-6
was immediately shot before it had a chance to escape. Area Head Dr. has expressed his displeasure in the rash execution of
SCP-354-6, which testing revealed to be identical to an average human being.
<data corrupt>
SCP-354-14: Majority of creature's body remained well beneath the surface of the pool. Five (5) octopus-like tentacles were seen
emerging from the pool and reached up over the enclosure. Several D-class personnel were grabbed by the tentacles and pulled back
beneath the surface of the pool. After receiving massive damage from gunfire, SCP-354-14 retreated back into the pool and disappeared.
No personnel taken by the creature were recovered.
SCP-354-15: Feline creature composed of a blue-hued crystalline structure later revealed to be ice. Was able to jump above the walled
enclosure and was agile enough to dodge most gunfire. Was actively hostile and mauled any personnel that engaged it. Subject engaged
SCP-354-16 upon its emergence from the pool and was terminated in the fight.
SCP-354-16: Feline creature composed of a dark red-black stone later revealed to be partially solidified magma. Gunfire proved mostly
ineffective against its hide. Was not hostile to personnel and did not attempt to escape the walled enclosure until being engaged by
SCP-354-15. Successfully terminated SCP-354-15 and grew less active as its body cooled. After fully solidifying and having remained
motionless since, subject was moved to Dr. 's office for aesthetic purposes.
SCP-354-18: Metallic humanoid machine described by several D-class personnel as a "Terminator." Subject possessed a cloaking device
rendering it invisible to human eyes. Subject was highly adept at combat and killed nearly 90% of Area-354's guard personnel as it
rampaged through the facility. Approximately sixty (60) minutes after emerging from the pool, subject ceased function and powered
down. Subject was dismantled and its power cell was disposed of. Subject's remains are under study.
Note from Area Head Dr. ██████: That's thrice now that we've had to fall back on Pandora's Box to deal with stuff coming out of SCP-
354. Able can't complain, though… you can tell he enjoyed fighting SCP-354-11. Maybe we should set up some kind of "hotline" to MTF
Ω-7?
Document 354-3-a: Log of Exploratory Mission 354 Alpha
See log for details.
Note from Area Head Dr. ██████: It has been twenty-two months since the last entity emerged from the pool. Before this, the longest
period of time between emergences was eight months. I suspect this means one of two things. Either the Red Pool has "died" or
"powered down" or whatever the correct term for it is; or it is "charging up" for something big to come through. O5 believes the
former is the most likely explanation, and has recalled 30% of our total personnel and cut 25% of our funding. While I can only hope
that they are correct, if the latter situation is true, we're soon to face some terrible monstrosity and we won't have anywhere near
the force necessary to deal with it. I worry for all of our safety.
Document 354-4: Event Log 354-20

In the morning of [DATA EXPUNGED] the entire staff of Area-354 evacuated the facility. However, the staff also shut down power to the
area and took a number of supplies and vehicles from the facility, indicating that the evacuation had not been done due to an
emergency. Mobile Task Force Theta-12 was dispatched to investigate the cause of the evacuation and, if possible, make contact with
Area's staff. However before MTF Θ-12 could make contact with Area-354 or its evacuees, the Area's on site warhead was detonated,
resulting in the destruction of the entire facility and the deaths of [DATA EXPUNGED].
MTF Θ-12 was ordered to make contact with the evacuated personnel and, in the event of hostility, was given clearance to terminate any
uncooperative personnel. A large convoy of vehicles taken from Area-354 was spotted heading southward from Area-354 at high speed.
Final audio logs from MTF Θ-12 indicate that the convoy was made up of Area-354's staff, and that the previous chain of command had
broken down in its entirety, with armed D-class personnel and research personnel firing upon MTF Θ-12. MTF Θ-12 was annihilated and no
further contact with the former personnel of Area-354 has been made since.
Document 354-5: Following the total destruction of Area-354, the Red Pool Containment Site was constructed in its place. Basic maps of
the new facility can be found in - - and - - . Unlike the previous facility which was focused on research and
neutralization of entities emerging from SCP-354, the new facility is devoted entirely to the containment of SCP-354 and entities
which may emerge from it, as well as any unforeseen forces which it may create directly. This is due largely to the advisement of the
new Site Head [DATA EXPUNGED] who believes that the events of Log 354-20 were the result of a psychic or mental attack generated by
SCP-354 itself.
Document 354-6: Interview regarding [DATA EXPUNGED]
Dr. : Is it all right if I record this?
Agent : Yes, go ahead.
Dr. : Good, good. (pause) So, let's start at the beginning. What happened at the Red Pool containment site?
Agent : Looking back now it seems strange that nobody ever suggested draining the pool. When Dr. came up with it it seemed
like such a good idea at the time.
Dr. : Exactly what about the idea was so appealing?
Agent : It was a way out. That SCP entry I've read what it says. It's a joke. It makes it seem like we have the pool under
control.
Dr. : I take it you do not?
Agent : There's a half meter slab of reinforced concrete in place over the pool. And yet every time some beast tries to come
through somehow it manages to get loose into the building. People die, every single time. I've seen [DATA EXPUNGED] a man's own
intestines. Can you imagine what that looks like, old man?
Dr. : So to you, and of course to the other people stationed at the Red Pool containment site as well, draining the pool
seemed like a fine solution to the suffering caused by SCP-354.
Agent : (chair scrapes as Agent stands up) Suffering? That thing doesn't just-
Dr. : Please, sit down. This is going on record. (pause, Agent sits) So, O5 approved the draining of SCP-354, and then
what happened?
Agent : They evacuated the nonessential personnel to a location a couple kilometers away, leaving just basic defense crew and the
people who'd run the equipment. Mostly D class, plus a few Agents to keep things going.
Dr. : And you were among those Agents.
Agent : Yes.
Dr. : How did they go about draining the pool?
Agent : Tech guys brought in this big pump thing with all these hoses. We retracted the slab, but (pause)
Dr. : But ?
Agent : Have you ever had a dream, where it seemed so real, but you knew you were dreaming, and it felt like you had to wake up to
escape from it?
Dr. : I can't say I have.
Agent : Yes you have, we all have. That's what it felt like when they put the hose in to try to drain it. Everything stopped being
real. It was like we had to escape right now.
Dr. : And you were the only one feeling this sensation?
Agent : No, everyone had it at the same time. It came from the fucking pool!
Dr. : Please, lower your voice. What happened when they activated the pump?
Agent : We never did. We couldn't. It wouldn't let us.
Dr. : What wouldn't let you?
Agent : The pool!
Dr. : Please, I ask you to lower your voice.
Agent : Up until now it's been content just throwing monsters at us. It's been playing. But now we have it locked up and we just
tried to execute it! Now it's angry!
Dr. (to PA) Guards, please restrain Agent .
Agent : My buddy measured its banks once and compared them to the photos from its first discovery. You know what he found? (Agent
grabs Doctor )
Dr. : Guards!
Agent : It's growing! The pool is growing! It gets bigger and stronger every day and now we've made it angry! Get your hands off-
Dr. : Sedate him. We'll continue this in the morning, if he's lucid by then anyway.

Ordinary Men
Item #: SCP-395
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-395 is to be kept in the center of a locked room at least 10 meters wide. No female personnel are
to be allowed into SCP-395's room under any circumstances. The room is to be guarded by two male personnel at all times. Any unusual
behavior should be reported immediately. Any independent movement on the part of SCP-395 should likewise be reported.
SCP-395 is to be fed one liter of a half-and-half mixture of blood and milk, both taken from the same individual, once a week. Failing
to follow a regular feeding schedule will cause SCP-395 to increase its range at a rate of 10 meters per day without food. If it has
not been fed for more than one week past its expected time, it will begin to [REDACTED].
Description: SCP-395 is a human fetus, approximately 7 months into its development, contained in a specimen jar. The jar is filled
with a standard formaldehyde solution, with traces of blood.
When a female human comes within 5 meters of the jar, SCP-395 is able to telepathically influence her. At that point, the subject will
feel a need to remove SCP-395 from its jar, and allow it to feed in the normal manner. All women, regardless of age or medical status,
will lactate under this telepathic inducement. Once the milk has been exhausted, SCP-395 will continue to feed, drawing blood and
gnawing flesh from the subject. The subject apparently feels satisfaction throughout this process, only understanding what has
actually happened when SCP-395 is sated and releases its control.
SCP-395 was taken from a traveling freak show, whose owner had been using it to control women for his own personal use. It was
discovered when police tracked the bodies of his victims back to him. One of the arresting officers fell under SCP-395's control, and
killed her partner when he attempted to stop her from removing it from its jar. Foundation agents caught the report from the follow up
investigation, and acquired SCP-395.
Interrogation of SCP-395's owner revealed little. He had acquired it along with the rest of the show from the previous owner's estate.
Documentation included with the estate indicated that SCP-395 had been purchased from a teaching hospital in the early 1900s. No
information regarding the parents was included.
Testing by male personnel shows no detectable life signs while SCP-395 is inside the formaldehyde solution in its jar. Only when a
female human subject comes within its range does it become active, exhibiting a faint heartbeat and high levels of brain activity.

Special Containment Procedures: At time of acquisition SCP-407 was recorded within a compact cassette tape. Currently, SCP-407 is
backed-up as a digital audio file on [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-407 should not be allowed to play under any circumstances outside testing
conditions, and only with the approval of O5- .
Testing of SCP-407 is to be done in completely sound-proof environments. All tools and subjects must be sterilized to remove the
presence of pollen, fungal spores, plant seeds, and as much bacterial life to the greatest degree possible to delay the negative
effects of SCP-407.
Description: SCP-407 is a song in an unidentified language, seemingly sung a cappella. The voices are thought to be human. The tape
containing SCP-407 was found with one track of approximately thirty (30) minutes duration, though the abrupt ending suggests there may
be more. The song has been described by all listeners as something along the lines of 'soothing', 'glorious', and 'beautiful'.
While SCP-407 is played, rapid cell generation seems to occur within auditory radius. This effect seems to occur at the cellular
level, and does not require the subject to be able to hear the music. The changes seem to only affect multi-cellular organisms at
first, but quickly begins to affect mitosis in single-celled organisms.
During the first minute of exposure, all multi-cellular life forms seem to become healthier. Subjects suffering from malnutrition,
scarring, physical injury, or chronic diseases or other medical conditions seem to become healthy with only a minute of exposure to
SCP-407. This has been shown to cure Alzheimer's disease, Crohn's disease, brain and spinal cord injuries, and normally fatal
infections or wounds, amongst other things. Interestingly, cancer does not seem to be affected, though the subject's physical
condition was still vastly improved.
During the second and third minute of exposure, subjects start experiencing unnecessary unrestrained cell growth, manifesting in
quickly advancing dermal growths. These growths seem to mostly be benign tumors and calcium and fat deposits, which though sometimes
painful and disfiguring, are not life threatening.
During the fourth minute of exposure, increased bacterial and fungal growth occurs, creating conditions that grow increasingly
dangerous for all exposed life, even in their new healthier states. Respiratory and digestive problems are quick to arrive in most
cases, and become steadily worse as time progresses.
Past five (5) minutes, the effects of SCP-407 seem to differ each trial. In all cases, trace elements of plants or fungus as well as
any animal life present begin to grow and replicate uncontrollably, at varying rates, often shaping into new organisms. Full results
have varied depending on the test, and on the objects present when SCP-407 is played.
Addendum-407-01: SCP-407 was found in the home of Professor of , who had recently returned from research in the
Amazon regions of northern Brazil. Agents were first alerted to a possible SCP when [DATA EXPUNGED].
Addendum 407-02: The mold that eventually resulted from SCP-407's second test appears to be some sort of Cordyceps Fungi. Noted to be
similar to mold encountered by SCP-507. Due to fear of fulfilling a fate similar to that observed by 507, testing using SCP-407 has
been limited to using only the first twenty (20) minutes of the recording.
Addendum 407-03: Below is a sample test run of SCP-407. For full research and experimentation notes, see Experiment Log 407.
Sample Test Notes:
<Test 2; SCP-407 played for 28m 32s. Within chamber; 1 D-Class personnel, unsterilized >
00:25 - Subject reports feeling soothed by the music, and of feeling stronger and more invigorated.
00:45 - Liver spots and scars previously seen are shown to disappear.
02:20 - Subject appears to have physically grown an inch. Increase in musculature is noticeable.
03:40 - Subject reports intestinal pain.
04:20 - Subject begins vomiting. From vomit, plants are seen growing and slowly rooting into the tile floor.
04:50 - Subject starts developing rashes and growths on skin.
05:30 - Heavy dermal disfigurement. Subject panting heavily, begging for help. Great pain reported.
06:10 - Subject falls to the ground and ceases to move.
06:45 - Subject's body is quickly covered in what is thought to be fungal infections. Plant growth is observed growing from the
subject's mouth, then eye sockets.
07:30 - Subject is by this time unrecognizable, covered in molds and plant shoots. Body bursts as a banana tree emerges from the
subject's intestines and proceeds to grow to maturity within seconds.
08:45 - Plant and fungal growth has begun to spread throughout the testing chamber. What appears to be moss and weeds cover the
floor.
09:30 - Several shoots, stalks, bushes, and even small trees have appeared. Banana tree is no longer recognizable; the tree has
grown thick and is covered with foliage and fungal growth.
10:30 - The air is heavy with pollen and spores. Vision into testing chamber is difficult.
11:30 - Movement is heard within the chamber. Several different small insect-like creatures are observed. Creatures are seemingly
made of plant matter.
17:30 - For the last six minutes, creatures made of plant matter have been observed to rapidly generate, grow to maturity, kill and
eat other creatures, and then be eaten themselves. Creatures increasingly progressing in size as time increases.
19:00 - Medium sized mammalian creatures are observed; they seem humanoid and bear a resemblance to initial Subject.
21:00 - Large fungal stalk is observed to grow from one of the mammalian creatures. Stalk end bursts, dispensing white spores.
22:00 - Plant growth is still lush, but everything begins to become coated by a layer of mold. The plant creatures seem to die
slowly for an unknown reason, before being covered by the mold.
23:00 - Mammalian creatures are the last to succumb; they heavily decay and become covered in the same mold. Bodies are shown to
contract and expand as if breathing. Stalks quickly rise from the bodies, burst with spores, and then just as quickly rot.
28:32 - Tape ends. No change in chamber since the appearance of the mold. Chamber undergoes rigorous anti-biological cleansing.
Samples of the mold were taken. [See Addenda 407-01, 407-02]
<End Test 2>
Addendum 407-04: SCP-407 has been deleted from the system by what is now known to the Foundation as the Interest Group: Serpent's
Hand. All known backup copies of SCP-407 have also been deleted. Refer to Incident Report X23.

SCP-420. SCP-420-2 infection is not depicted, as each case varies greatly in appearance.
Item #: SCP-420
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-420 is to be contained in storage locker 1014-420 at Site- . Level 3 clearance is required to
remove it from storage. Samples of SCP-420-1 not in use for testing should be stored in the container marked "SCP-420-1-decon" in
locker 1014-420 until they lose potency, at which time they can be disposed of as biohazardous liquid waste. Please make note of the
time and date in the attached log when samples of SCP-420-1 are added to the decon container.
Those infected with SCP-420-2 are non-contagious, and should be contained in standard solitary D-class secure confinement. On reaching
phase 3, infectees' rations should be doubled. Phase 4 infectees should be kept under constant surveillance for signs of advancement
to phase 6, in which case the infected must be destroyed by high-temperature incineration.
Description: SCP-420 is a dirty bottle of [REDACTED]-brand whiskey with no lid; when emptied, a small amount of whiskey-like liquid
(SCP-420-1) remains in the bottle, appearing as liquid adhering to the sides. This liquid pools back into a few milliliters of SCP-
420-1 over time. Drinking SCP-420-1 will cause SCP-420-2, a nonfatal but consuming degeneration and mutation of skin and keratinous
tissue (hair, fingernails, etc.) in the infected. Cases of SCP-420-2 should be contained for further study. Early cases can be treated
(see Treatment, below). SCP-420-2 has only been shown to affect humans.
SCP-420 cannot be washed out; liquid added in turns into SCP-420-1. When poured out, SCP-420-1 retains its properties for up to 48
hours. Chemical analysis shows no anomalies in SCP-420-1 before or after loss of potency: it is identical to [REDACTED] brand whiskey
when potent, and has all the same effects in addition to causing SCP-420-2. When it loses its potency, the chemical structure changes
to that of concentrated urine. Urinalysis of decontaminated SCP-420-1 shows that it belongs to a human male, approximate age 50, with
severe liver degeneration. Further analysis using [DATA EXPUNGED] shows that the urine contains trace quantities of [DATA EXPUNGED]
consistent with SCP- ; research shows [DATA EXPUNGED].
SCP-420-2's infection progress varies somewhat from patient to patient, but can be described in several phases. Detailed descriptions
for therapeutic purposes can be found in Medical Document 420a-4 (attached). Brief descriptions for containment purposes follow:
Phase 1: Immediately to 12 hours after consuming SCP-420-1. The infected's mouth becomes dry and swollen, leading to slurred
speech. Note that this slurred speech is not consistent with intoxication: recording 420-c-004 (attached) contains a comparison
of speech patterns resulting from intoxication compared with SCP-420-2. Within 24 hours of consuming SCP-420-1, the infected's
finger- and toenails become extremely brittle, cracking up the finger and bleeding. Fingernail growth is at the same time
accelerated. Ingrown nails are an inevitability; infection of these ingrown nails and open sores is identical to uninfected
subjects. The infected's hair exhibits similar characteristics.
Phase 2: 1-2 weeks after phase 1. The infected's skin becomes brittle and dry, cracking and sloughing off. Like nails and hair,
growth is also accelerated, replacing lost tissue and growing more in heavy, thick folds. Genetic analysis of keratinocytes
shows mutations similar to skin cancer. The tissue undergoes additional vascularisation similar to cancer cell metastasis.
Though apparently cancerous, these cells have not shown any tendency for detachment resulting in systemic spread. Thus, phase 2
is not malignant: even if phase 2 keratinocytes are injected into the blood, they will reattach to the skin layer or die[1].
Innervation of the site is fully functional. Growth of the skin folds inside the infectee's mouth prevents communication,
although growth progresses such that the infected can still breathe and eat. Infectees show a complete disregard for what they
eat. Only one post-phase 2 infected has been observed outside laboratory conditions (see Recovery Log 420, below); the majority
of SCP-420-2 infectees die due to malnutrition/food poisoning, infection of open wounds, or alcohol poisoning from over-
consumption of SCP-420-1 in this or earlier phases.
1. Research is underway as to why these cells, though phenotypically cancerous, remain nonmalignant. Those with appropriate qualifications who are interested in
joining this project should contact me. —Dr. Ersen
Phase 3: 3-6 weeks after phase 2. The infected loses innervation of the skin and other keratinous surfaces. Nerves in the skin
layer grow uncontrollably, but no longer send signals back to the central nervous system. Genetic analysis of skin samples from
this time shows mutations in keratinocytes so severe as to no longer resemble human DNA. Though individual samples suggest the
mutations are random, analysis of samples from different infectees shows a consistent mutational path leading to a final
genotype with relatively little variation. In other words, the skin of the infected is a different organism entirely, possibly
a different species, related only to other infectees' skin. At this stage, 'tumours' may form inside the skin layer, analogous
to several types of tissue, including muscle and secretory cells. Also at this stage, the skin slows its cracking and falling
apart, although it never stops entirely. It becomes a thick series of leathery folds with exposed, bloody tissue beneath.
Fingernails and hair grow out from the skin at apparently random locations.
Phase 4: 3-7 days after phase 3. The skin begins to twitch and writhe on its own in apparently random patterns. Differentiated
tumours develop into whole surfaces of contractile and other tissues. Small 'throats' begin to form leading from the outside of
the skin to the circulation of the host, but are mainly nonfunctional at this point: the host's mouth still does most of the
eating, although the host itself doesn't appear to be eating now. The mouth is instead working on its own: CAT scans of the
host's brain activity show panic and fear as the only dominant thoughts, and motor groups in the jaw muscle area are not
recruited. Rather, chewing and swallowing are forced by the motions of the mutated skin.
Phase 5: 1-2 days after phase 4. Phase 4 and 5 may overlap significantly, with different portions of the skin entering phase 5
faster than others. The twitching/writhing skin activity gives way to organised motion. The skin can now be considered a
separate organism from the host; it moves the body like a puppet (albeit slowly), and exhibits extremely rudimentary
intelligence. It is a scavenger organism and opportunistic predator. The skin digests food by excreting a clear enzymaceous
fluid onto proposed food, leaving it to digest, and then folding the food into itself. Ingested food is taken into folds lined
with thick, heavy hairs and keratinous plates leading down into the 'throats'. Inside this mouth, a grinding net of keratinous
plates breaks down food, which is then filtered and absorbed into the host's blood. Activity scans of the brain show many
hosts, at this stage, have gone insane. Some, however, seem relatively calm, and are processing input from eyes and ears
normally.
Phase 6: Most of the infected remain at phase 5 indefinitely; the trigger which causes a shift into phase 6 is unknown. The
skin begins rapidly growing hair and keratinous "teeth", increasing in mass, and [DATA EXPUNGED]. Infected patients who appear
to be entering phase 6 should be destroyed immediately by total incineration.
Treatment: SCP-420-2 can be treated in phase 1 by aggressive radiation and chemotherapy, coupled with constant intravenous
administration of formula 420-a09t-t174b (see Medical Document 420a-4 for pharmaceutical and chemical properties and therapy
description). This treatment has a 73% success rate (full removal of SCP-420-2) and 21% fatality. From phase 2 onward, constant
administration of 420-a09t-t174b will slow the progression by two to tenfold, but rarely removes it entirely (success rate of full
removal of SCP-420-2 drops by about 25% per day after the onset of phase 2). Additionally, 420-a09t-t174b appears to be at least part
of the trigger to entering phase 6: 420-a09t-t174b treatment should be halted in phase 5.
Recovery Log 420: SCP-420 was found in the possession of an unidentified vagrant in , United Kingdom. Agents had been
sent to investigate reports of a "bridge troll", which was revealed to be the aforementioned vagrant in phase 5 of SCP-420-2. The
vagrant's skin appeared to be using SCP-420 to create and drink SCP-420-1 constantly through its mouths, although its primary
sustenance came via refuse, local pets, and [REDACTED]. The vagrant was collected and designated SCP-420-a. SCP-420-a perished during
experimentation on / /2010 and was incinerated after autopsy.

Item #: SCP-426
Special Containment Procedures: I am to be sealed in a chamber with no windows through which I may be viewed. The door to my chamber
must have a label completely unrelated to my designation or identity, in order to prevent unintended spread of my primary effect. Only
Level 3 and above personnel are to know of my presence, and particularly of my properties. Assigned personnel are to be rotated out on
a monthly basis to prevent contamination by my secondary effect. Psychiatric evaluation is mandatory at the end of the month. If
personnel are deemed unaffected, they may be re-assigned to me no less than four months after their last rotation with me. Any
affected personnel are to be given a Class C amnestic and transferred to a different site.
Description: Hello, I am SCP-426. I must be introduced this way in order to prevent ambiguity. I am an ordinary toaster, able to toast
bread when supplied with electricity. However, when any human being mentions me, they inadvertently refer to me in the first person.
Despite all attempts, there is yet to be a way to speak or write about me in the third person. When in my continuous presence for over
two months, individuals begin to identify themselves as a toaster. Unless forcibly restrained, these people will ultimately harm
themselves in their attempts to emulate my standard functions.
I was discovered in the home of the family after the gruesome deaths of three of its members. I had been given to the younger
Mr. and Mrs. as a wedding gift. No card or any other identifying markings had been found on my box. Approximately two months
after the family received me, fire crews were dispatched to the home due to an electrical fire. The younger Mrs. died from
the electric discharge that she had caused when attempting to devour an electric socket. The other two victims had died shortly before
the fire occurred. The elder Mrs. had gorged herself with nearly 10 kg of bread before her stomach burst and she died of
internal bleeding. The younger Mr. died of severe blood loss after attempting [REDACTED] with me. The sole survivor was the
elder Mr. who was suffering from severe malnutrition. He stated that he had inserted some bread a week prior and was still
waiting for the toast to pop out.
I was confiscated by the Foundation after police noted my unusual properties. A Class C amnestic was administered to the affected
officers.
Experiment Log 426-1:
Date: - -
Subject: D-class personnel D/426/1
Procedure: D/426/1 was asked to describe what he believed was contained in my chamber. He was not informed about my identity or
properties.
Details: D/426/1 stated, "I'm probably some huge monster holed up in there. That's what you guys have all over the place, right?"
D/426/1 remained oblivious to his use of the first-person pronoun.
Date: - -
Procedure: D/426/2 was placed in my chamber and given regular meals through a dispenser. No communication with D/426/2 was permitted.
Multiple cameras were situated in the chamber, positioned so that I was outside of their field of vision, but allowing constant
observation of D/426/2. We remained sealed until my secondary effect manifested in the subject. I was bolted to the floor so that I
could not be moved into a camera's view.
Details: After 45 days of isolation, D/426/2 wrapped his arm around me and began conversing with me, stating that we were brothers.
D/426/2 never deviated from using the first-person plural when speaking with me. Subject was terminated one hour after this event. It
is theorized that the isolation accelerated the progression of my secondary effect.
Date: - -
Procedure: A screw was removed from me and shown to D/426/3 who was asked to describe it. D/426/3 was not informed about my identity
or properties.
Details: D/426/3 referred to it as "my screw". Consistent with Experiment 426-1, the subject was oblivious of his use of the first
person in his description. This suggests that, even if I were destroyed, my effects would still be inherent in my remains.
Date: - -
Procedure: D/426/4 was placed in isolation in a cell adjacent to my chamber, to be observed until my secondary effect manifests.
Details: No effects appeared. D/426/4 was terminated 90 days after the start of the experiment.
Thank God there are some limits to my effects. A lot of us were really starting to get worried about me. - Dr. C

SCP-432 in storage
Item #: SCP-432
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-432 is kept in a standard storage area at Sector-25, is to be kept locked at all times and the key
to the lock kept in the adjacent security station under guard by three (3) Level 3 Personnel. No other special containment required.
Description: SCP-432 is a 2-door steel storage cabinet, measuring 2 meters tall by 1.2 meters wide by 1 meter deep. The exterior of
the cabinet is painted matte green and bears no remarkable features except small areas of corrosion and light scratching commensurate
with being left exposed to the elements for a prolonged period of time. The doors of the cabinet are fitted with a basic slide-bolt
and a hasp for a padlock, allowing the door to be secured from outside.
The interior dimensions of SCP-432 display significant disparity with the exterior; the doors open into an apparently extradimensional
space containing a large labyrinth complex comprised of an as-yet uncharted series of corridors. The walls, floor and ceiling of the
corridors are constructed from heavily-rusted steel and adhere to the same height and width scales as the exterior of SCP-432 (2 m
high by 1.2 m wide).
The corridors within SCP-432 are lit at irregular intervals by what appear to be regular household lightbulbs, secured to the walls in
wire mesh fittings. Many of the bulbs are observed to flicker and numerous others are burned out or broken. In places several large-
gauge steel pipes have been found bolted to the walls of the tunnels; these pipes are notably cold to the touch and contain flowing
water, although the source and destination of the pipes and water are unknown. Many of the pipes observed are in obvious need of
repair and leak cold (average of 3°C) water. Analysis of this water has revealed a low oxygen content and trace amounts of iron oxide
but the water is otherwise potable.
The exact size of the labyrinth complex to which SCP-432 connects cannot be accurately measured as each time the doors of the cabinet
are closed and then reopened the 'entrance' created by the cabinet apparently moves to a different section of the maze.
The fate of personnel within the maze when the door is closed is unknown, although remains discovered within the maze suggest
starvation is a likely outcome. Other remains, coupled with additional evidence gathered during exploration, suggests that the
labyrinth contains a large predatory inhabitant of indeterminate species, hereafter known as SCP-432-1.
GPS units used within SCP-432 are rendered useless, as are cellular phones. Remote-controlled devices sent into SCP-432 are similarly
impaired and cease to function after travelling an average of 20 meters into the maze, rendering remote mapping of the internal layout
impossible. High-gain radio transmissions can be used to keep in contact with personnel within the labyrinth, although significant
interference occurs deeper into the maze. If the doors of the cabinet are closed then all forms of contact with personnel within SCP-
432 are severed.
Additional notes: SCP-432 was discovered in an abandoned industrial complex in , UK. It came to the attention of the Foundation
after Dr. T. Small heard reports of several homeless persons in the area disappearing after staying in the complex. Upon investigation
Dr. Small discovered the cabinet at the centre of an abandoned steel mill, surrounded by a number of sleeping bags, bags of clothing
and other personal effects suggesting a number of homeless persons had recently made camp there. SCP-432 was unlocked, but the door
closed upon discovery. After exploring the immediate area beyond the entrance, Dr Small exited SCP-432 and summoned Foundation
personnel to transport the cabinet to Sector-25 for analysis.
Currently expeditions have been sent into SCP-432 to attempt to chart its internal geography. To date D-class personnel have been
lost within the maze. No further expeditions may be made without express permission of at least two (2) Level 4 Personnel.
Paint samples, metal fatigue and construction techniques date SCP-432 to having been constructed in the early 1950s. However,
artifacts recovered from within SCP-432 have been accurately dated to much earlier periods.
Expeditions :
Below are the expeditions within SCP-432 to date.
The standard agreed mission equipment pack, agreed by Dr T. Small and Dr , is:
One (1) hand-torch (flashlight) with a three (3) hour lifespan and additional power sources providing up to six (6) additional hours
One (1) headset microphone linked to control
One (1) shoulder-mounted video unit set for wireless transmission
Two (2) 0.5 L bottles of water
Two (2) high-calorie energy bars
Eight (8) sticks of luminous marker chalk

Advanced stages of Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP)
Item #: SCP-439
Special Containment Procedures: Specimen is to be kept at Armed Research Site-45, Hazardous Lifeforms Wing, in a sealed, locked 38 L
(10 gal) Type-G containment unit with connected oxygen supply. Specimen is to be fed through Feeding Tube 16a with Approved Nutritive
Substance X-F. Handling is available to Level 2 personnel and higher.
Description: SCP-439 is an insect of unknown origin, somewhat resembling a greyish, semitranslucent Forficula auricularia (common
earwig), approximately 2.5 cm in length. Originally located/obtained in mainland China in the province. No other specimen
has been found, as of yet.
SCP-439 is relatively harmless when encountered on safe terms, aside from the ability to deliver a firm, painful pinch with its
abdominal forceps. The true hazard this creature poses lies in its habitat construction and reproduction, which is initiated when the
specimen enters the mouth of a sleeping human. This will only occur with humans; other lifeforms have been presented to SCP-439 and
have been uniformly rejected. Upon location of a suitable host, the specimen will hide itself in the immediate vicinity and wait until
the victim has fallen asleep. How it is able to determine the state of sleep is unknown, but it has shown to be accurate in [DATA
EXPUNGED] times out of [DATA EXPUNGED]. Upon entering the mouth of the new host, SCP-439 will travel down the trachea and take up
residence in one of the victim's lungs.
In approximately 4-8 hours, after awakening, the host will complain of chest pains and shortness of breath, followed shortly by
abdominal cramping. The tightness in the chest will increase as well as a fever until the host is incapacitated. It is around this
time that the onset of Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) occurs, a disorder that is normally genetic in nature that promotes
growth of bone into muscle tissue. Since the production of new bone growth is so rapid, the procedure is also quite painful for the
subject, with new bone spurs occasionally protruding through the flesh. While this is happening, the host will become compelled to
seek shelter in a darkened, enclosed space, such as inside household cabinetry, closets, or heating ductwork.
Within the first three days without treatment, the host will become completely withdrawn and immobile due to the extreme pain of new
bone growth coupled with difficulty breathing. At this point, the subject's body will begin the final stage of transformation into a
"bone hive": having concealed itself in its new home, the body of the host will huddle in a foetal position. Entire portions of the
skeletal structure will shift along [DATA EXPUNGED] until the host body is roughly spherical in nature and reduced to 3/4 its original
size. New bone protrusions will continue to grow and, if possible, anchor the body permanently to its new location. The skeletal
structure is almost completely unrecognizable, having been converted to a round "cage" to protect the internal organs and colony.
At this point, transformation is complete. The original Queen that entered the host will have produced 20-30,000 offspring that
function as workers, drones and warriors in a typical insect hive hierarchy. Since only the Queen is capable of reproduction, the rest
of the hive's inhabitants are, fortunately, harmless save for large, strong abdominal forceps of the warriors. The interior of the
original host is nearly unrecognizable as a human body: certain organs are removed and used as food, while others are modified by the
worker insects to serve as egg incubation chambers. An ingenious method exists of using the host’s own digestive system to process
pieces of organic materials collected by the warriors into a nutritive slurry that feeds both the colony and sustains the host hive
structure.
After 4-6 months, a new Queen will emerge from within the ranks and choose a drone to mate with. At this point, the colony will
destroy itself by rupturing [DATA EXPUNGED], upon which the majority of the insects die. Workers and drones are unfit to survive
outside the host hive, and warriors will abandon the site, wandering away, their tasks complete. No food will be consumed by warriors
that isn't nutritive slurry produced by the hive of origin. The new Queen will venture out, fertilized, to search for her own new
hive. Incredibly, the trauma of evacuation is not what finally causes biological activity to cease in the hive, but starvation.
Addendum: In a particularly disturbing development, Dr. performed a range of experiments to determine the extent of damage to
the host body after it has finished the transformation into a hive. While it had been previously discovered in autopsy that portions
of the brain are hollowed out to serve as food, others are left intact, presumably to regulate what bodily functions continue. During
the last round of experimentation, took the opportunity to examine a hive at close range shortly after transformation. While
the eyes are eventually reached and used as a food source, at the point performed her examination, they were still intact.
Opening the eyelids, and examining them with a flashlight, discovered that the host's eyes followed the beam. Experimentation
was terminated and no further testing is scheduled.

Item #: SCP-478
Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-478 are to be surgically recovered whole from victims before death. After recovery,
they are to be kept in specialized vacuum-sealed lockers within Bio-Site 66. Instances of SCP-478 do not seem to be able to pass
through solid matter, and thus may be held indefinitely unless damaged.
Mildly affected victims may be treated in a normal civilian medical establishment by Foundation surgeons under the guise of
orthodontic surgery. General sedation is to be administered, as per normal surgery.
Severely-affected victims of SCP-478 are to be recovered by the nearest Foundation establishment and subsequently moved to Bio-Site 16
for study.
Because of SCP-478’s unique structure, infected individuals are not to be terminated prematurely. Victims deemed capable of full
recovery may be treated for infection and released, as above. Survivors are to be administered a Class-B Amnesiac and false memories
are to be planted. Victims deemed unsalvageable may be terminated.
Description: SCP-478 are small entities of inconsistent size and shape that resemble a darkly-coloured butterfly or moth in flight.
Wild instances have been encountered a number of times, but their elusive nature makes capture difficult. Extracted instances of SCP-
478 do not seem to need to eat, sleep, breathe, or breed.
After some testing with captured instances, it is understood that SCP-478 are somewhat predatory and normally prey exclusively on
humans under the age of 25. Furthermore, SCP-478 most often seeks out individuals who have not yet shed all their deciduous teeth.
Civilian treated and released, instance 478-34 recovered.
SCP-478 will enter a victim’s mouth while they sleep, and attach onto the soft palate in the upper nasal cavity, usually blocking one
nostril. The body’s mucus production will increase, leading the victim, upon waking, to believe that they have developed a minor cold.
From there, the victim’s palate will begin to generate teeth in addition to the gingiva's (gums) normal replacement of teeth. This
growth process will begin at a rate several times faster than normal tooth growth, and quickly increases in speed and severity.
The palate’s generation of new teeth will continue until the entire palate has been covered, proceeding down the victim’s throat and
esophagus. Over the course of two to four days these teeth will completely saturate the stomach lining, then begin growing within the
lungs and the subcutaneous layer of skin. Skeletal calcium will be leached away to provide material for the new teeth, in an
increasingly painful process. This growth will continue until the entire digestive tract has been saturated by dental tissue, after
which SCP-478 will exit the victim's mouth and flee.
Teeth within the stomach are exposed to the body's normal acid production, while teeth within the skin will group closely together,
forming rigid masses of dental material underneath the surface. All teeth are normal beyond placement, containing a root, nerve and
enamel.
It is unknown exactly how or why SCP-478 cause this explosive new growth of dental tissue.
Addendum: Historical Note

Documentation recovered from Foundation raids on the dental laboratory of Dr. Rasmin Yelkov implicate SCP-478 as a primary source of
the phenomenon observed in SCP-1994. Investigation into Dr. Yelkov's ability to communicate and capture instances of SCP-478 is
ongoing.

SCP-490 parked at a gas station during transport to Site-
Item #: SCP-490
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-490 is to be maintained in Storage Garage 17-Golf. Garage 17-Golf has been heavily soundproofed,
its door replaced with a soundproofed door with an interior code-lock. SCP-490 is to have all four wheels disabled through standard
parking boots and is to be kept chained at all times to four molybdenum eyebolts, sunk a minimum of three (3) meters into a solid
concrete floor.
Description: SCP-490 is an ice cream truck dating to the 1960s constructed by . It seems to be mechanically standard except for
the audio system, which does not respond to operators, though it appears to be in working order. The key to the vehicle is fastened in
the ignition and cannot be extracted by any means. SCP-490 can be driven (fueled by a diesel engine originally made for the truck) and
functions properly in all ways compared to other vehicles of the same model.
Between 2 to 5 AM local time, SCP-490 will operate itself, and drive at a low speed in a random circuit through local roadways. At
this time it will function as if in peak condition, while playing a tune from its speakers. The tune has not been identified, but
resembles music played on non-anomalous trucks of the same make. However, the tune never loops, and no portions can be identified as
of yet. Recorded portions do not carry the anomalous effect.
Any individual who hears the music will start advancing towards the vehicle, ignoring any instructions to stop. Upon reaching the
vehicle, the back doors to the truck will open and the person will step inside with the doors closing behind him/her. The doors become
sealed, impossible to open by regular means, and if tampered with [DATA EXPUNGED].
If there are multiple subjects affected then each will line up and wait for the doors to open again, or until the 3-hour window has
elapsed. Subjects outside the vehicle when time elapses will wander away in apparent confusion; when interviewed, they appear to have
no memory of the event. After 5 AM, SCP-490 will lose its abnormal ability and the back doors can be opened. Any person(s) that
entered into the truck during the time that the music was playing will have vanished.

Agent Stephanie Shih.
The freezers will have been stocked with frozen treats. Though the treats will contain traditional flavors (Chocolate, Strawberry,
Vanilla), the wrapper advertises a surprise flavor. The "Super Surprise Flavor!" stated is human flesh incorporated into the product,
which DNA testing has proven to be that of the subject(s) who entered the vehicle and subsequently vanished.
Discovered in , Massachusetts, SCP-490 was located in the parking lot of a bank, from which it was then towed to an impound
yard. The object had a parking boot attached to it and therefore could not escape. Shortly after the disappearances of several
residents from the nearby trailer park, a team of Foundation agents were sent in to investigate. Discovering the truck and its
contents the team paid the fine for it and drove it to Site-17. During the trip, it activated, causing the death of all team members
except for Agent , who was driving the team's vehicle and realized what was causing his teammates to become entranced. Protocol
A- was initiated and several more agents equipped with ear protection arrived. SCP-490 showed aggression, and when blocked by
several Foundation vehicles started ramming into them and the Agents trying to capture it. After one (1) hour and forty three (43)
minutes of chasing SCP-490 through back roads it deactivated and was moved to Site- on a flatbed truck.

Item #: SCP-500
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-500 must be stored in a cool and dry place away from bright light. SCP-500 is only allowed to be
accessed by personnel with level 4 security clearance to prevent misapplication.
Description: SCP-500 is a small plastic can which at the time of writing contains forty-seven (47) red pills. One pill, when taken
orally, effectively cures the subject of all diseases within two hours, exact time depending on the severity and amount of the
subject's conditions. Despite extensive trials, all attempts at synthesizing more of what is thought to be the active ingredient of
the pills have been unsuccessful.
Note From Dr. Klein:

SCP personnel below Level 3 are now banned from handling SCP-500. This is not to be used to cure a hangover. Get AIDS and then ask
permission.
Request 500-1774-k
Dr. [500-0022F] has requested one (1) SCP-500 pill for testing with SCP-038. Request has been approved.
Request 500-1862-b
Dr. Gears has requested one (1) SCP-500 pill for testing in SCP-914. Request has been approved.
Request 500-2354-f
Dr. has requested one (1) SCP-500 pill for testing with SCP-253. Request denied.
Request 500-5667-e
Dr. Gibbons has requested two (2) pills of SCP-500 for his personal medkit. Request denied.
Addendum 500-1: Two (2) pills have been authorized for use with SCP-008. As a result of conducting a series of tests on Class D
subjects infected with SCP-008, it appears that even in the most advanced stages of the disease one whole pill will accomplish full
recovery. Number of pills is fifty-seven (57) at the time of writing. - Dr. [500-0021D]
Addendum 500-2: One (1) pill has been authorized for use with SCP-409. SCP-500 was tested on Subject 409-D5 who was exposed to the
effects of SCP-409. Complete recovery accomplished. See Addendum 409-1. Number of pills is fifty-six (56) at the time of writing. -
Dr. [500-0021D]
Addendum 500-4: Request 500-1774-k approved. Five (5) pills have been used in experimentation with SCP-038. It has been determined
that SCP-038 is capable of duplicating SCP-500; however, the success of the duplicated pills is limited. The duplicated pills are only
effective in curing the subject 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 infestation is neutralized. Repeated dosing
with SCP-038 cloned pills is recommended for all personnel suffering from incurable conditions, as supply of SCP-500 remains extremely
limited. All five (5) used samples of SCP-500 were returned. Number of pills is fifty-six (56) at the time of writing.
Addendum 500-5: During experiments with SCP-038, one (1) pill was stolen by personnel D- to, reportedly, "cure a hangover".
Stricter controls for samples of SCP-500 given to other projects is suggested. Personnel D- has been terminated. Number of pills

SCP ILLUSTRATED
Item#: SCP-507
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-507 is allowed free roam of the facility, obviously barring anything that would breach security or
safety protocols. Any time SCP-507 leaves its private quarters it must be accompanied by an agent, mostly at this point to make sure
that it does not “shift” without the facility’s knowledge. SCP-507 should not be physically touched if there have been more than two
weeks since its last “shift”; the risks inherent in disobeying this protocol make the action its own punishment, should the issue of
disciplinary measures ever come up.
When SCP-507 undergoes a shift, faculty will be informed to keep an eye out for its eventual reappearance. It also has a tracking
device implanted into it, and a daily signal check should verify whether or not SCP-507 has returned from its trip. If it reappears in
or nearby the facility, SCP-507 will return to its quarters on its own; otherwise, a retrieval team of three plainclothes agents may
be sent to provide transportation back. Upon successful return, SCP-507 can be the subject of various physical tests up until two
weeks after each shift.
It is worth noting that SCP-507 is allowed a computer with an Internet connection (via a proxy which strictly limits what information
can be uploaded, and to where) in its room, and may petition to use/meet with/act as a test subject for Safe or Euclid SCPs that do
not affect mental functions negatively or carry an infectious trait. This is a result of SCP-507's persistently clean record, and the
implication that if SCP-507 was ever going to be a security leak it would have used its faux-teleportation powers to do so already. It
is also worth considering that SCP-507 is actually below-average in most physical traits, and that in even worst case scenarios any
SCP agent should be more than capable of carrying out a termination order.
Description: SCP-507 is a Caucasian male with blond hair and green eyes, sporting no other outstanding characteristics besides being
somewhat overweight and speaking with a vague accent of disputable origin. Although SCP-507 has an already-established name due to its
unremarkable upbringing, it seems to find entertainment in forcing those it meets to give it a nickname in lieu of divulging this
information. Thus SCP-507 will now respond to the names Tommy, Steve, Bruto, Guy, Houdini, and Grabnok the Destroyer.
SCP-507 was originally recovered from the asylum, when standard surveillance following repeated successful escape attempts
brought its abilities to light. All records of this incident were confiscated, and SCP-507 was taken into custody under the pretense
of moving it to a more secure facility.
The original theory was that SCP-507 possessed some form of teleportation ability, as it would suddenly disappear and eventually
reappear in a different location. Subsequent interviews with the subject did verify that its ability could be used in such a manner,
but that it was merely a side effect for its main affliction. SCP-507 holds that during its periods of “disappearance” it is actually
displaced into a random alternate reality; the landscape generally stays the same, but the inhabitants and climate of the parallel
world often do not. SCP-507 also insists that it has no control over the time and duration of these shifts; this has more-or-less been
confirmed by the subject being known to “displace” at inconvenient times such as mid-sentence, while sleeping, or even while using on-
site public facilities. If SCP-507 moves about in the alternate world, the eventual shift back will then place it at the corresponding
area in our reality. A sample list of SCP-507s descriptions of alternate realities can be found in Document 507-00.
Mentally, SCP-507 shows no large deviations from the psychological profile for a normal person. It has confessed to have always had a
great interest in the paranormal and mythological, which has directly led to its eventual permission to interact with relatively
harmless SCPs. SCP-507 especially enjoys meeting with other sentient SCPs, once going so far as to request a small “vacation” to visit
SCP-082. The request was eventually granted after persistent pleading from SCP-507, and the meeting was thankfully uneventful.
Document #507-00: A sample list of SCP-507s supposed extradimensional travels, along with any demands made by it after returning.
Subject arrived in complete darkness, leading it to assume that the current location was indoors or subterranean. After fumbling about
for a possible way out, subject heard a sound akin to muted breathing nearby. Subject then decided to curl up in the nearest corner
and “wait it out” instead of risking a blind confrontation with an unknown creature.
Request: A standard flashlight, which it now always carries on its person.
Subject appeared in a replica of the facility, although apparently fallen into disuse. Further exploration led to the discovery of
various corpses strewn about the area, all heavily decayed and covered in an odd type of mold. Upon noting that the “corpses” seemed
to rhythmically expand and contract as if still breathing, subject attempted to leave the facility. This idea was quickly discarded
when it opened an exit and found that the outside world was apparently coated with the same odd growth.
Request: Heavy doses of voriconazole, and a fungal expert to help ascertain the nature of the mold. No exact match of the
described mold was found, but it was noted to share many attributes with certain types of Cordyceps Fungi. [See Addendum 507-
02]
Upon reappearing, subject was reported to mutter “So many spiders.” Subject refused to elaborate.
Request: A handheld firearm of any type. Request was granted under the stipulation that said firearm is specifically built to
only use rubber bullets.
Subject once again appeared in a pitch black location with breathing nearby. Upon turning on its flashlight, subject was surprised by
a man wearing a black business suit and sunglasses, with an impossibly wide smile. Said “Smiling Man” was apparently leaning in toward
SCP-507 when it turned on the light, the end result being that their faces were almost touching. Smiling Man then remarked “Back so
soon?” before subject switched the light off again, discharged all the rounds in its firearm at the general vicinity of the man, and
once more curled up into the nearest corner until shifted back into our reality.
Request: None.
Those with Level 2 Security Clearance may read a full list by accessing document #507-3B
Those with Level 2/507 Security Clearance should also see Interview 507-G for evidence of a particularly noteworthy shift.
Addendum 507-00: Agent went missing on [EXPUNGED] at the same time as SCP-507. A full scale search was launched to find either of
them, only for SCP-507 to appear a week later. When questioned, it said that was holding onto its shoulder when it shifted,
leading to both of them to appear in an alternate dimension where [EXPUNGED]. During the ensuing chaos, SCP-507 lost contact with
and could not relocate him before it shifted back into “standard” reality. A new protocol has been placed in light of this - no one is
to come in physical contact with SCP-507 after two weeks following a displacement. Reevaluation of previous incidents has shown that
there have always been at least two weeks between each, so this timeframe will be the only “safe” time to touch SCP-507 until further
notice.
Addendum 507-01: I don’t care how much he grumbles about it; SCP-507 is not to be cleared for challenging SCP-076-2 to fifty rounds of
Tic-Tac-Toe. Just no. -Dr.
Addendum 507-02: Fungus encountered by SCP-507 seems similar to that resulting from experimentation with SCP-407.

SCP-511 and two SCP-511-1
Item #: SCP-511
Special Containment Procedures: When an instance of SCP-511 is identified, the affected residence shall be quarantined and will
receive the next sequential site designation.
Excepting one main entrance, sites hosting SCP-511 will have all points of possible entry or exit permanently sealed with appropriate
building materials. The main entrance will remain locked at all times. Entry is permitted to Foundation personnel with written
authorization from Level 3 or higher. All SCP-511 sites will be equipped with remote monitoring equipment allowing for 24 hour
surveillance and a continual tracking of the numbers of SCP-511-1 inhabiting the site.
At all times one (1) Class D personnel will be resident in the site. Personnel with this assignment are exempted from monthly
termination for the duration of assignment. Candidates for this assignment shall be exclusively drawn from a population of post-
menopausal women with a global Clinical Dementia Rating of 2 or greater. (Note: due to the exclusive nature of this population, O5-█
has approved recruiting from local hospice and/or nursing homes if necessary. Ref: Incident I-511-11)
The population of SCP-511-1 within a site must remain within an optimal range of 50 to individuals. Below this range, adult Felis
domesticus should be introduced to the site to increase population to minimum levels. If population exceeds individuals, it must
be culled immediately. Any SCP-511-1 found outside the containment site shall be euthanized and the remains incinerated.
Any biological material leaving the containment site for testing will be handled in accordance with standard protocols for a level 4
biohazard. All specimens are incinerated after testing is complete. Before coming in contact with any material from the containment
site, personnel must be inoculated for Influenza, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, , Tetanus, Tick-borne encephalitis, and
. Full medical workups are mandatory on a bi-weekly basis for personnel working with SCP-511.
Description: Instances of SCP-511 typically occur within residential structures with a block or stone foundation that includes a
basement or crawlspace. All attempts to remove an instance of SCP-511 from such a residence have proved ineffective. (Ref: Interview
511-A)
SCP-511 is always found associated with a colony of feral Felis domesticus, common domestic cats. Members of this colony are
designated SCP-511-1.
SCP-511 is a mass of biological matter taking the form of a large feline, often with extra limbs, eyes, mouths or other organs. It is
typically coated with dirt, blood and fecal matter, making its fur appear black despite its actual coloring. (Tests have shown SCP-
511’s fur to actually be a random patchwork of various feline coat patterns, colors, and lengths.) SCP-511’s mass varies from 10kg to
over 50kg, roughly in proportion to the number of SCP-511-1 in the associated colony. The tissue that makes up this mass consists
primarily of the bodies of deceased SCP-511-1. The portion of SCP-511 that does not comprise SCP-511-1 consists of other biomass;
small rodents, various plant materials, insects and insect larvae, black mold, a human [DATA EXPUNGED]. Incorporation of dead tissue
into SCP-511 does not appear to slow the normal process of decay. Different areas of SCP-511 undergo different stages of
biodegradation at any given time; some areas show little more than lividity, while other areas may show active carrion insect
infestation, and some areas may even show liquefaction of tissues. (Note: Researchers have described SCP-511 making a “purring” sound.
Tests have shown this sound does not originate with SCP-511, but is actually the sound of insects, most often blowflies, trapped
within its mass— Dr. A. ████)
SCP-511 prefers to inhabit dark spaces with a relatively high humidity, such as old basements and crawl spaces. It will continually
scavenge its immediate area for new biomass to incorporate into itself, displacing and expelling matter that has decayed past
mechanical usefulness.
Examples of SCP-511-1 resemble ordinary Felis domesticus that have undergone extreme neglect. They display a body condition score of 2
or 1, regardless of the amount of food available. Ulcerated skin is common, as are parasitic infestations, tumors, and various viral
and bacterial infections. (SCP-511-1 are known carriers of a particularly virulent strain of .) A typical SCP-511-1
shows no interest in grooming itself, and has patchy and matted fur. It is unclear to what extent the physical condition of an SCP-
511-1 is a result of the influence of SCP-511, and to what extent it is due to sub-optimal living conditions.
Several observations have been made of an SCP-511-1 retrieving biomass from elsewhere and bringing it to SCP-511 to be incorporated.
Addendum 1: Incident report of containment breach at Site 511-
Incident I-511-11
Document# I-511-11
Personnel involved: D-7856, male subject 35 years of age.
Date: 08/27/19
Location: Site 511- , Evergreen Way, , California.

Description: After determining that a permanent human presence at a SCP-511 site results in moderation of aggression in SCP-511-1,
containment protocol is updated to require class D personnel reside on-site in the event the original homeowner is deceased. Six
months after this policy is established, D-7856 is assigned to Site 511- . As expected, within a week, aggression levels of SCP-511-
1 toward Foundation personnel lessen considerably.
Sixteen days after being assigned to Site-511- , D-7856 begins showing signs of increased aggression; verbally abusing Foundation
personnel and engaging in superficial vandalism of Site-511- . D-7856 is reprimanded.
Eighteen days into his assignment, D-7856 interferes with a Foundation team by throwing garbage and yelling obscenities. D-7856 is
subdued with a tranquilizer dart and locked in his quarters.
At twenty days, D-7856 begins capturing SCP-511-1 and [DATA EXPUNGED] is only discovered when a Foundation research team enters for
routine specimen collection 48 hours later. The team discovers remains from 37 separate SCP-511-1 collected in the kitchen. Bodies
are dismembered and show signs of [DATA EXPUNGED].
D-7856’s body is discovered in the basement after an apparent attempt to [DATA EXPUNGED].
Site 511- is incinerated as an emergency containment procedure.

<Begin Log, [11/05/ 1330]>
Dr. A. : How are you feeling?
Agent : [groans] Like I’ve had half my face ripped off. How do you think I feel?
Dr. A. : I want to talk about the containment breach.
Agent : [unintelligible]
Dr. A. : We have some questions.
Agent : Of course you do.
Dr. A. : Starting with why there was foreign matter introduced into the containment unit.
Agent : Do you have any idea what we were dealing with?
Dr. A. : Why don’t you tell me?
Agent : We were tasked to retrieve a 40 kilo thing with a BSL4 containment unit. You know how big those units are?
Dr. A. : I know the specifications.
Agent : Like lugging a self-propelled washing machine. Now imagine dragging one of those into one of these places. You
already got reduced mobility from the hazmat suit, got fifty kilos of gear, and you’re walking into a house that has two or three
decades worth of garbage in it. We have cat ankle deep in places, trash bags split open, piles of soggy newspaper and junk
mail, boxes of clothes, furniture that looked like it exploded, and cats everywhere— eyes everywhere—
Dr. A. : Can we return to the containment unit?
Agent : We have chest high in places, cats everywhere, and spaces so tight that we have to go single file. No way a guy
in full gear can turn around, and forget the containment unit. Just one look and there’s no way we can use
[DATA EXPUNGED]
Dr. A. : So it was Agent ’s idea?
Agent : It was that, or pack it in. Can’t get downstairs. So we bait the unit with the body and point it at the basement
door. According to the briefing, it would be attracted to freshly dead biological matter.
Dr. A. : And SCP-511 was attracted to the baited unit?
Agent : The most nerve-wracking twenty minutes of my life, listening to that thing pull itself upstairs. Thud, thud, thud.
And those cats, watching us. You know how freaky cat eyes look with night vision equipment?
Dr. A. : So you captured SCP-511?
Agent : [laughs]
Dr. A. : What happened then?
Agent : We got out as quickly as we could. No one can turn around, so we back out, all those eyes watching us. Staring
Dr. A. : You were first out the door?

Agent : Last in, first out. We all got out, for all the good it did. We thought we’d pulled it off. But the moment the
containment unit rolled out the door it they
Dr. A. : What happened?
Agent : You ever see films of explosive decompression? That’s what happened to it. Splattered itself all over the insides of
the containment unit. And those cats, those awful cats. They howled. Then they rushed us.
Dr. A. : Did you attempt to contain the breach?
Agent : You’re kidding? Right? Two or three hundred of them? Not just the door, but the windows, dropping on us from the
second floor. When I saw disappear under them, I just ran and locked myself in the van. I’m not proud of that
Dr. A. : I’m not here to judge. I’m here to determine what happened, so it does not happen again.
Agent : Well, you see what happened to me? That was one of them that got locked in with me. One. If you don’t reclassify
these things Keter, you’re insane.
Dr. A. : I will be recommending updates to containment procedure.
Agent : Yeah, while you’re updating things, there’s something else you need to update.
Dr. A. : What’s that?
Agent : The briefing was all about how SCP-511 is influencing these cats. That’s wrong.
Dr. A. : How so?
Agent : SCP-511 doesn’t influence anything. It’s the cats. They made SCP-511. And they made it because they hate us.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Agent died three days later from complications due to blood poisoning. Three weeks after containment
breach, a new incidence of SCP-511 was identified in Ohio, 35km south-east of Site 511-47. Remote biopsies of this new
incidence revealed genetic material identified as coming from three Agents of Mobile Task Force - .
It seems that the “destruction” of SCP-511 might only displace it elsewhere. Until we better understand the vectors that propagate
it, all SCP-511 need to be contained in place. Request for reclassification of SCP-511 to Keter is denied — O5-█

SCP-513
Item #: SCP-513
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-513 is to be suspended in a one cubic meter block of gelatin and contained within a soundproofed,
climate-controlled cell. The gelatin must be inspected daily for any degradation or loss of integrity. An emergency inspection will be
carried out immediately following any earthquake, explosion, or sonic event grade 2 or higher. Personnel performing the inspection are
to wear earplugs and active noise-canceling earmuffs at all times while inside SCP-513’s cell.
If the gelatin cube shows any signs of degradation (such as rips, tears, splits, liquefaction, or mold), SCP-513 is to be immediately
removed and suspended within a replacement cube by a team of surgically deafened Class-D personnel. No other personnel are to enter
the cell during this procedure.
Any sentient beings exposed to SCP-513 are to be monitored by at least two security personnel at all times. Under absolutely no
circumstances may exposure victims be administered sedatives or allowed to fall unconscious. Any victim who does fall unconscious is
to be terminated immediately.
Class-D personnel are to be terminated at the first sign of mental degradation. All other exposure victims may be terminated at their
request.
If possible, SCP-513-1 is to be apprehended on sight.
Description: Physically, SCP-513 is an unremarkable, rusty cowbell. No marks or engravings are visible on its surface due to the large
amount of corrosion. Attempts to remove the rust chemically or mechanically have had no success.
SCP-513 was recovered by Agent while carrying out Containment Reestablishment Procedure Mu at Site- . SCP-513’s clapper was
firmly held in place by several strips of duct tape. A single scrap of paper was found along with SCP-513 (see Addendum).
Any noise produced by SCP-513 immediately induces strong anxiety in all sentient beings who hear it, regardless of their previous
mental status. Exposure victims report feelings of being watched by an unseen entity and present elevated heart rates and blood
pressure. Roughly one hour after exposure, exposure victims begin to catch glimpses of SCP-513-1 when opening doors, walking past
mirrors, turning their heads, or performing any other actions that result in a sudden change in visual perception. Upon being sighted,
SCP-513-1 reportedly turns away and runs out of view before disappearing without a trace. Questioning of bystanders indicates that
SCP-513-1 is invisible to those who have not been exposed to SCP-513.
Sightings of SCP-513-1 reoccur every 14 to 237 minutes. This “stalking” behavior inevitably causes extreme sleep deprivation, as
victims are frequently disturbed by SCP-513-1’s presence in their quarters. Victims able to fall asleep before SCP-513-1's appearance
report being physically assaulted by it. Upon the victim's awakening, SCP-513-1 flees as usual (see Experiment Log 513). This sleep
deprivation, along with the mental stress caused by SCP-513-1's behavior, invariably induces paranoia, aggression, hypervigilance, and
depression. All test cases but one have ended with the test subject’s suicide.
Descriptions of SCP-513-1's appearance are largely unreliable. Test subjects are unable to provide complete accounts of sightings due
to their exhaustion, degraded mental health, and disruptive hypervigilance. However, all interrogations thus far indicate that SCP-
513-1 is a tall, emaciated humanoid with abnormally large hands.

Item #: SCP-525
Special Containment Procedures: Outside of testing conditions, the individual components of SCP-525 must be stored in separate sealed
containers. No more than six components may be stored in the same room or within 15 meters of each other. All currently-existing
components are accounted for at Storage Site-23 in lockers to .
Only Class D personnel are authorized to handle SCP-525. All supervising staff must wear protective eyewear during testing.
Description: SCP-525 consists of multiple disjoined arthropod legs, 10-15 cm in length. DNA identification has been inconclusive, but
the closest match so far is to the brown recluse spider Loxosceles reclusa. The base of each leg ends in several minute hooks capable
of perforating flesh. SCP-525 is covered in short, fine hairs, and is quite brittle.
When alone or in proximity with fewer than six others, SCP-525 is inert. When eight components of SCP-525 are brought within range of
each other (approx. 0.6m), the legs will immediately crawl into a group and attach themselves into a single entity, referred to as
525-1. At this stage, the speed of its locomotion greatly increases, and it will attempt to make contact with the closest human or
similar (see Addendum #525-A).
When a suitable animal is found, 525-1 will climb directly towards the animal's eye. Having centered itself over a socket, four legs
will secure the eyelid while the others extract the eye. Despite 525-1's rapid movements, extreme care is taken not to damage the eye
during the extraction, [DATA EXPUNGED] severing the optic nerves and central retinal vein. Once the eye is free from the original
owner's socket, 525-1 will implant the base of each leg into the eye. Close inspection shows that the hooks at the base extend,
effectively rooting the leg in position.
If allowed to remain, 525-1 will lay what appear to be eggs in the socket of its host before climbing off (see Document #525-A).
When in possession of an eye, 525-1 is no longer hostile and its movement is somewhat impeded. Curiously, 525-1 does not respond to
visual stimuli, suggesting that it does not use the eye for sight. Dissection of a chimpanzee eye taken by 525-1 and retained for a
period of one week revealed the formation of [DATA EXPUNGED]. Over time, the eye dehydrates, eventually turning the same reddish
colour as SCP-525. After 2-3 weeks, 525-1 will abandon the eye and begin to search for another.
Addendum #525-A: 525 responds to most large- to moderate-sized mammals. Reptiles, fish, and birds have provoked little response. When
exposed to Crocodylus acutus, 525-1 attempted extraction, managing to blind the animal but otherwise failing. Thereafter, all
instances of 525 have not responded to crocodiles, even those not present at the initial experiment.
Document #525-A: Observation log of Subject D-1548 after exposure to 525-1. Report compiled by Dr. Weiss, dated / /20 .
Week 1: Medical staff on hand attend to D-1548. Fourteen ovoids resembling opaque toad eggs discovered embedded in the
extraocular muscles. Three are removed and sent to the research lab. D-1548 placed under quarantine.
Week 2: D-1548's injury is healing as normal. Eggs show marginal swelling. D-1548 does not display unusual discomfort. Eggs
stored in the lab have deliquesced.
Week 3: D-1548 complains of increasing "phantom pressure" in the socket. D-1548 demands a mirror to inspect the injury (request
denied). Muscle tissue has healed over and obscured the eggs.
Week 4: D-1548 forcefully removes bandages and attempts to dig into the socket; is successfully restrained. 24 days after
initial exposure, eleven fully-formed components of SCP-525 erupt from D-1548's socket and begin to coalesce [DATA EXPUNGED]

SCP-527.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-527 is to be contained within a standard humanoid domicile at Site-19. No other containment
procedures are necessary.
Description: SCP-527 is a male humanoid, 1.67m in height, which is biologically non-anomalous, with the exception of its head, which
is that of a Puntius semifasciolatus, or gold barb fish.
SCP-527 displays no other anomalous qualities. The head of SCP-527 functions the same as the head of any other non-anomalous human.
SCP-527 is capable of typical human speech. A tattoo reading "Mr. Fish, from Little Misters ® by Dr. Wondertainment" appears on the
bottom of its left foot.
Discovery: SCP-527 was discovered in Boston by Foundation agents in 2002, and was moved to Site-19 in 2004.
Addendum 527.1: Initial Interview
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Baker: Thank you for your cooperation thus far, SCP-527. We're just using this interview as a way to gauge any potential
anomalous behavior we might not expect.
SCP-527: Alright.
Dr. Baker: To begin, are you capable of breathing underwater?
SCP-527: No.
Dr. Baker: Are you capable of communicating with other fish, or with other sea-based lifeforms?
SCP-527: No.
Dr. Baker: I see. When did you first discover your condition? Were you by any chance attacked or bitten by a fish you did
not recognize, or experience an encounter with a sea-based deity of some kind?
SCP-527: No.
Dr. Baker: Uh well, then you've been like this since birth?
SCP-527: Yep.
Dr. Baker: I alright. Do you know of any other anomalous traits you might exhibit?
SCP-527: Sure don't. Like I told the other guy, this is all it is. You're looking at it. Lie, Stripes, Hot, Sweetie, they
got all the good stuff. I'm just the guy with a fish head.

Item #: SCP-529
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: No special precautions have yet proven necessary. "Josie" is quite affectionate, and at this stage is
free to move about the lower levels of the facility. Staff are not permitted to feed cheese to her - she will become distressed if not
given sufficient cheese.
Description: SCP-529 is a small house cat (Felis catus) with grey tabby markings.
Parts of the animal to the rear of the end of the ribcage appear to be missing. The body terminates sharply as if sliced in two.
In spite of this, the animal has no health problems, and moves about as if its hindquarters were still in place. For example, walking
takes place as usual, and some time after feeding the animal makes motions as if to void itself of waste matter.
The cross-section does not display the interior of the animal, but appears pure black to the eye, and absorbs all non-visible
wavelengths of light. It is slightly yielding to the touch. Gentle stroking of this area sometimes yields a positive reaction (purring
and so on) but more usually leads to the creature turning on the agent, claws at the ready. Those scratched have experienced no
abnormalities.
The hind regions do not appear to be invisible - a cursory examination will show that there are no hindquarters. DNA testing has shown
the animal to be female.

Initial recovery site for the currently contained instance of SCP-575
Item #: SCP-575
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Any and all instances of SCP-575 are to be immediately isolated and contained with Protocol AL-9O77
(see Advanced Lighting and Emergency Containment Strategies handbook) and transported to secured containment. Should an instance of
SCP-575 exceed a safely containable size, Protocol AL-9O77-B is to be used to divide and isolate SCP-575 into smaller instances.
Containment units are to be made of two airtight rooms, each sealed by airlocks. The outer room, Containment A, is to remain lit at
all times, with no less than two back-up generators on stand-by. Light fixtures are to be checked weekly, and any blackouts in
Containment A will result in immediate lockdown until total illumination is restored.
The inner containment unit, Containment B, is to be coated in a layer of pure calcium both inside and out. Personnel entering
Containment B are to be fitted with LED-embedded clothing and equipped with portable floodlights in case of emergency. Interaction
with SCP-575 should be limited to sample collection and observation. Any samples obtained from SCP-575 must be treated in the same
manner as the original source and all test areas must have calcium lining and emergency illumination procedures similar to those
outlined here.
Any and all civilian deaths resulting from SCP-575 are to be attributed to wild animal attack/scavenger predation of an already
deceased subject. Should deeper scrutiny be applied, attacks are to be blamed on a serial killer/satanic cult, and any additional
information is sealed “due to ongoing investigation”.
Description: SCP-575 appears to be an unknown form of matter, taking the form of a series of amorphous black shapes and structures.
SCP-575 is difficult to observe, as it immediately dissipates when exposed to light[1]. Current testing has been unable to identify if
SCP-575 is organic or inorganic. Despite the lack of any visible nervous systems or observable organic components, SCP-575 displays
behavior consistent with an active consciousness.
1. An action reminiscent of SCP-1219, however a connection between the two entities has not yet been made
SCP-575 initially manifests in total darkness. How this occurs is unknown, however tests have shown a variable mass of SCP-575 forming
when [DATA EXPUNGED] variable, along with the time frame. SCP-575 is capable of “floating” and can alter its density, allowing it to
"pass through" very small openings. SCP-575 prefers very dark, isolated locations in which to settle after its initial formation, and
will remain there until it reaches “critical mass” at [DATA EXPUNGED]
SCP-575 grows with the absorption of biological material. SCP-575 will “attack” living things by solidifying portions of itself and
using these “appendages” to bludgeon, cut and crush subjects. The tracking and selection methods used by SCP-575 are currently not
understood. Upon disabling a subject, SCP-575 will forcibly tear and crush tissue within the main mass until it is "absorbed". SCP-575
is unable to interact with objects rich in calcium however, and “nesting areas” for SCP-575 can be identified by the large amount of
bones, teeth, and calcified dust around them.
SCP-575 is capable of manifesting in any area of total darkness. This appears to be a form of "spontaneous generation", and can form
in any suitably dark location after [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-575 was initially recovered under the home of Mr. and his family.
When initial contact was made, SCP-575 had "digested" the household, and had partially "consumed" a neighbor, one , age
. Since this initial contact, instances of SCP-575 have been recovered, most of which have been in residential homes or large
buildings, such as factories and schools. The cause for this preference is unknown, however it has been suggested that the building
behaviors of man simply provide more suitable “nesting” areas, or that SCP-575 somehow "needs" a nearby human presence. Both theories
are under investigation.

SCP-597
The Mother of Them All
By: name
Rating: 176
Wilson Score: 0.65
Original Version
Item #: SCP-597
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-597 is to be guarded and researched by a rotating monthly shift. Those in charge of the design of
the containment procedures are not allowed contact with the SCP; if at all possible this duty should be left to overseer level
personnel. No one is to be allowed to view (on video or through a window) or be in the same room as SCP-597 for longer than five
hours. Maintenance personnel are to alternate every day.
Evaluations are to be given at the end of the shift or whenever mental distress seems obvious. If psychological contamination is too
great and poses a tangible danger, termination can be performed immediately by the on-site analyst. (The mental health offices are
soundproofed for this purpose.) The doctor can terminate up to ten individuals at a time; any more requires the approval of an
overseer. In this scenario, procedure 597-32 (Weaning the Babies) is to be activated. Vents in the ceiling require regular maintenance
for this purpose.
Smoke detectors are not to be turned off for any reason; candles and incense lit in 597's cell are to be taken as an indication of a
dangerous obsession. The leaving and offering of food, as 597 does not require it, is to be viewed in the same light as well. All
other signs of unnatural love and religious awe are to be reported along with these.
The room and the surrounding area are to be sealed, with ventilation shafts, plumbing, and wiring checked daily. Measures are to be
put into place for the continuous extermination of all vermin in the facility. Animals not part of the study found suckling on SCP-597
are to be removed and terminated as soon as possible due to risk of biological contamination. Because of this, in the morning, workers
must wear Hazmat suits while entering the cell, for SCP-597 is often covered in vermin, including mice, opossums, squirrels, and bats.
597 is to be hosed down weekly, with special care given to the areas around the nipples, to prevent the buildup of saliva and drool.
Those suckling need washing daily, as does the floor underneath them, for the removal of the puddles of urine, feces (for the first
few days, but when solids completely leave the body this is no longer necessary, although occasionally a thin watery substance is
excreted), and vomit, which is produced when they drink too eagerly, quickly, or out of rhythm. The cleaning products are to be plain
and unscented (use of aromatics or herbal oils will be noted) and no scrubbing is to be done by hand.
Description: SCP-597 is a blob of flesh approximately 5.8m (19ft) high, and 10.67m (35ft) wide, although this measurement changes
slightly when it moves, or the substances expand and ripple. All over its body, mostly located on its rolls, are hundreds and hundreds
of teats, of various colors and sizes. Whenever a mammal is released into its cell, it will be drawn to the corresponding teat for its
species and then proceed to suckle as long as they are unimpeded. The milk released will be identical in every way to the makeup of
the subject's mother's, although able to sustain the subject's nutritional needs indefinitely. While the fluid is the same as normal
milk chemically, for some reason, whether it be an effect of the SCP or an unknown quality of the substances it excretes, any full-
grown mammal that would normally require more can survive to the end of their normal lifespan give or take a few years, simply by
suckling at the nipple, although their teeth will fall out, their muscle will atrophy due to lack of use (the subjects will curl up as
close as possible on the side, lay under the SCP [there have been reports of suffocation], or immerse themselves and dive into the
flesh itself) and stomach problems are presented because of the all-liquid diet.
Milk taken in a bottle does not have the same results, although those already affected by SCP-597 will fall under a quasi-hypnotic
hold when presented with a container, will do anything to possess it, and find drinking it very gratifying.
Those in charge of bottling the liquid have the urge to use a rubber teat for feeding babies as a cover, even when a normal lid will
suffice, and will attempt to do so even when informed that it is in violation of dangerous materials protocol, not being an airtight
seal.
The urge to suckle is a mental, physical, and sexual compulsion. While lower lifeforms cannot resist its effects at all, humans can,
although they experience great difficulty. Those in SCP-597's presence describe it as a "mental pull" leading us to the conclusion
that it is partially telepathic, although it also obviously appeals to deep instincts and is hormonal as well; endorphins associated
with breast-feeding and maternal comfort are released. Those who do give in do so in a mad rush, all restraint broken at once, or a
slow ritual, commonly involving bowing, kneeling, crawling, and chanting. They are reduced quickly to an infantile state, and within
one hour lose all linguistic abilities, intellectual capabilities, and willpower. Before complete loss of brain function it is said to
be highly comforting and pleasurable, and they say they feel safe, "like never before". Before and after contact is made, there are
reports of strong feelings associated with vague images and recollections and sensations, all traced back to the womb or crib, often
centered around remembrance of their parents' smell and facial appearance. [DATA EXPUNGED]
retarded blind [DATA EXPUNGED] permanently attached [DATA EXPUNGED]
[DATA EXPUNGED]
Those who watch are also influenced, although in lesser or different ways. Increased pettiness, regression to childish states, extreme
immaturity, decreased bowel control, fetishization, promiscuity, and even reports of public masturbation have all been noted. Staff's
IQ, focus, and rationality all drop significantly over a period of time with SCP-597, and they often will fight with each other over
silly things, such as objects or perceived insults, be wracked with laughing and crying fits, be unable to resolve problems in an
adult way, and lose the ability to control their emotions. After four to five weeks, it is impossible for them to function in a work
setting, and they all communicate with each other with a series of grunts, coos, and short confused sentences. Attention should also
be paid to the fact that the employees' name for the object degenerates from the official title, "SCP-597" to "The Mother", then to
just "Mother", then "Mom", "Mommy", "Mum", and so forth, often ending in sucking, blowing, or kissing sounds as the representation.
Also of interest is that almost immediately strong oral fixations will develop or resurface. Those who quit smoking will start again
(100% occurrence) and the chewing of gum, snacking, gluttony, nail and lip biting, and hair chewing, rises as well, almost to the
point of psychosis; there are deadly weight gains, choking incidents, balls or clumps of human material obstructing the digestive
system, murders over food (the vending machine is often completely empty), and dental and health problems. Doctors and personnel in
the area of effect, even those entering for a few moments will find themselves absentmindedly putting something in their mouth without
realizing it. Observation of the employees in their homes or private lives also reveals [DATA EXPUNGED], often to the point of only
being aroused by [DATA EXPUNGED]
Men with already unstable or fragile egos find a strengthening in Oedipal complexes, often to dangerous levels; three employees have
raped and murdered [DATA EXPUNGED]. These same personality types also enjoy [DATA EXPUNGED] and request access to SCP-597 for that
purpose. Unfortunately, although this behavior is not encouraged, those with this disease are many, too many to take a moral or
ideological stance and completely restrict the activity without losing the needed number of workers. A good number are also high-level
personnel, although revelation of their identity is forbidden, and requires clearing the area and disabling the camera feeds so they
can perform the act (which is not allowed to go over an hour, or separation will cause seizures and homicidal tantrums). Specific
procedures for sexual visits can be found in Document 597-XD-12.

An output of SCP-603
Item #: SCP-603
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: As of 12/11/2006, SCP-603 is stored on a dedicated computer system in Laboratory 12-A, Observation
room 1. The system may be accessed remotely via Foundation intranet. Personnel wishing to access SCP-603 must apply for a temporary
password to allow them access to the system. A standard SCP-603 password will expire 24 hours after being issued. If access to SCP-603
for longer than 24 hours is required, please contact Dr. Brown. Physical access to Observation Room 1 without direct authorization
from Dr. Brown is prohibited.
SCP-603 should never be left to run unattended.
Description: SCP-603 is a self-replicating computer program capable of reproducing and extending its own source code.
The first version of SCP-603 was written in 1996 by , a graduate of University. 's personal
computer was seized by the Foundation in 1997 following an investigation into multiple anomalous occurrences. In a 2003 interview,
claimed that the original source code for SCP-603 consisted of approximately 12000 lines of ANSI/ISO C. This claim has not
been verified.
On startup, SCP-603 begins generating new versions of its source code in a separate thread of execution. SCP-603 does not modify
itself in-memory. Instead, it keeps an internal copy of the source code which is modified iteratively. On a clean termination of SCP-
603, the entire source code will be output to the working directory in a new directory named "source". In addition to modifications to
the internal and external functionality of the program, alterations and additions to the semantics and structure of the language are
made with each iteration. Due to its continuously-changing nature, the language has been nicknamed "Morphic".
When passed a list of source files, SCP-603 acts as a compiler and linker. Morphic code is always compilable by the version of SCP-603
by which it is output. However, older versions of the program can rarely compile code output by newer versions. On compilation, the
program is output to an executable file named "megaprime".
Recent versions of the SCP-603 source code consist of approximately 70 million lines of heavily obfuscated Morphic.
SCP-603 builds are archived on ; the latest build is . For information on building SCP-603, see document .
When left to run uninterrupted, SCP-603 will generate prime numbers increasing from 2 and print them to the environment's standard
output. Upon hitting a super-prime, there is a chance that a GPU-accelerated window will open. The contents of this window are
varying. This process is deterministic. The same version of SCP-603 will always open a window at the same super-prime and display the
same scene. If the scene accepts any form of input from the user, entering identical input on separate executions will give the same
result.
Most scenes are accessible from only a single version of the program; however, some scenes persist through multiple compilations,
often with variations. It is common for persistent scenes to "evolve" with each version of SCP-603, though some (such as Die) have
remained unchanging since their first iteration. The most prominently recurring SCP-603 scenes are documented below.
Other recorded scenes are documented in the supplementary file 603-FT-2012.
Die [SCP-603-44]
Die presents itself as a text-based interactive adventure game. When Die starts up, the following passage is printed to the screen:
Your head pounds ever harder as you struggle through the jagged bramble. You gaze back through the smog at the silhouette of the old
lighthouse to the north, the faintest glimmer of hope extinguished so violently by your foolish exploits. A distant and unattainable
fantasy, you know you can never return.
A prompt appears below the passage, and the player may input commands and submit them by pressing the enter key. Entering the command
"look" re-prints the previous passage to the screen. Attempting to "go north" results in the message "You cannot go north." Attempting
to travel in any other direction results in a similar message. Attempting to perform most other actions results in the message "You
cannot [do x].", where [do x] is the action entered by the user. Attempting to perform actions on objects such as "pick up apple"
results in the message "There is no apple here." or similar.
To date, the only command found to progress the game is "die". On entering the command, the player goes into immediate cardiac arrest
and the message "As the world around you fades to blackness, you know that you deserve the consequences of your actions." is printed
to the screen. This message remains on the screen until the SCP-603 process is terminated.
The effect of the 'die' command occurs even if the system is being accessed remotely. If two or more people participate in entering
the die command, all participants are affected. For example, if one person enters the word "die" and another presses the enter key,
the hearts of both players will stop simultaneously.
It is not currently known whether it is possible to "win" Die. If Die ever starts up during an SCP-603 session, it is recommended to
simply terminate the SCP-603 process.
Attempts to resuscitate users affected by the 'die' command by means of CPR have been successful. Any further experiments testing the
effects of Die should be carried out in a staffed medical unit at the discretion of Dr. Brown.
A screen capture of Jacob taken on 04/02/2008
Jacob [SCP-603-20]
Jacob is an artificially intelligent being who appears as a multicolored, equilateral triangle on a black background. The left, right,
and top corners of the triangle are red, green, and blue respectively. These colors are interpolated between the points to fill the
rest of the triangle. When Jacob is active, the phrase "Hello, world!" appears in the title bar of the window.
As of 02/02/2006, users may converse with Jacob by typing phrases into the input field at the bottom of the window and pressing the
enter key. Jacob's response will appear in bold, white text above the triangle and remain on-screen until it is replaced with a newer
response. Jacob's response will always appear immediately after the enter key is pressed.
When the SCP-603 process is terminated, Jacob's memory is deleted. Due to the psychological distress this has caused in the past, it
is recommended that communication with Jacob is restricted to personnel who possess little or no tendency to anthropomorphise.
Despite being unable to recall past events or dialogue from previous sessions, Jacob appears to exhibit a greater aptitude for
language and learning with each iteration of SCP-603 in which it appears.
History of Jacob
Jacob first began appearing in a version of SCP-603 compiled on 01/05/2002. In these early iterations of SCP-603, it was not possible
to interact with Jacob at all. At this time, Jacob was simply known as "the triangle".
On 09/09/2004, Jacob was left running for 12 minutes by Dr. Brown after which the phrase "Please submit your query" appeared above the
triangle in bold, white text. Dr. Brown proceeded to type the word "hello". The program display gave no indication that the key-

SCP-603-95
A rapid sequence of seemingly random images is displayed and the program's memory usage increases by approximately 12% every second,
until it passes 512 megabytes at which point this rate increases to approximately 31% a second.
Viewers of the scene become unresponsive to external stimuli of any kind. Usually, blocking the line of sight between the viewer and
the computer screen within the first 5-10 seconds will prevent the effects of the scene, however prolonged viewing will cause the
viewer to remain affected until the SCP-603 process is terminated.
When the memory usage of the program passes 512 megabytes, affected viewers experience a variety of afflictions, most notably bleeding
from the eyes and throat, and rapid, severe wrinkling of the skin behind the legs and arms. Many viewers will involuntarily evacuate
their bowels.
SCP-603 will crash if the system runs out of available memory, at which point affected viewers will normally fall unconscious.
The viewing of screen recordings taken of SCP-603-95 have shown to have no detrimental effects to the viewer, except those who suffer
from photosensitive epilepsy.

SCP-610 infected individuals and a converted environment. Visible are an animate
infected, an inanimate infected, a nonhuman infected, and several unknown infected.
Item #: SCP-610
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the vast area of 'infection' SCP-610 covers, containment is impossible. Isolation of the area
has proved far more effective and permission has been granted by the Russian government to establish a perimeter to keep people out of
these areas under the guise of military operations.
Should any organism displaying traits consistent with SCP-610 be sighted near this perimeter then the established protocol requires it
be engaged at range with small arms until immobile then dispatched using incendiary weapons and munitions from as great a distance as
possible. Any living thing coming in physical contact with an organism infected with SCP-610 is considered expendable and is to be
immediately terminated and incinerated. Any persons coming within three meters of SCP-610 infected life are to immediately withdraw
from the area, be isolated from the rest of their team, and subjected to medical examination using only remote techniques to determine
if infection has occurred and appropriate steps taken based on that determination.
At present the known infection vectors for SCP-610's spread seem to be focused on physical contact. Drone movements within heavily
infected areas have returned air samples containing minute particulate which when exposed to organic compounds will result in the
spread of SCP-610. The results of these particular tests have revealed that most require several days to manifest if at all, with the
exception of direct contact with exposed lung and liver tissue. These particular tests show a rapid rate of growth which requires
incineration of the testing environment no more than twenty-four hours after initial exposure, with even a two-hour mishap risking a
compromised facility event. Given that this kind of rapid growth only occurs in organic material existing outside the human body, this
form of infection is currently considered a minor concern.
These peculiarities have given rise to a series of questions regarding the possible origin of the infection in conjunction with the
failed [DATA EXPUNGED]. Containment protocol remains at a scorched earth policy at this time and no concern for transmission via water
or air at infection parameters exists barring situational changes in the field.
Description: Initial reports of SCP-610 came direct from the Russian government through undisclosable channels. These reports
consisted primarily of disappearances of farmers in the region and were not considered until the local police, followed by the
regional police, and finally a government dispatched agent all failed to report in within a 72 hour period. A small military
contingent was dispatched to the area and quickly withdrew at which point The Foundation was contacted to investigate.
The area SCP-610 affects is close to Lake Baikal in Southern Siberia. Areas of known infection are marked on a map provided to us
here. Containment perimeters are marked in blue surrounding these infection areas and as of present no further locations have been
identified. Incursions into the perimeter must be reported prior to conducting, confirmed during exploration, and debriefed on
immediately following return.
SCP-610 appears to be a contagious skin disease at first with symptoms including rash, itching, and increased skin sensitivity. Within
3 hours the disease will cause blemishes resembling heavy scar tissue to form in the chest and arm areas, spreading to the legs and
back within an additional hour, consuming the victim completely within five hours. Exposure to higher temperatures vastly decreases
the time for the contagion to spread and complete infections have been recorded occurring in as little as five minutes.
After the completion of the infection occurs the victim's life functions will cease for approximately 3 minutes after which time they
will restart at 2-3 times the activity rate of a normal human. Following this, the scar tissue on the victims will start to move of
its own accord and grow at a rapid rate. Normal human features start to disappear at this point under the infection and the path of
mutation appears to be largely random. Subjects observed in this stage of infection have been recorded as growing three or more limbs
of a type such as arms or legs, the head may become misshapen and elongate or widen out, and parts of the subject may split open from
which additional branches of flesh will grow. The duration of this stage of infection is unknown and not all subjects appear to
progress to the later stages.
Under unknown conditions an infected individual will cease moving and place itself in a location it deems suitable where it roots
itself. The fleshy growth on the victim will then begin to spread itself across all surrounding objects and consume them. Such objects
do not spread the infection as living creatures do, however, and the effect of prolonged contact with these objects is recorded later
in this document. It is assumed that this behavior is to create an area hospitable to continued growth of the other infected.
Observation of life infected by SCP-610 by staff is impossible. Those infected with the disease immediately seek out aid as natural
human impulse resulting in unintended infections. Those infected past the scar tissue phase actively and aggressively attempt to
infect anyone approaching them within an undefined area. It has been established that should an infected be capable of sight and
observe an uninfected, it will proceed toward them. If the infected has lost the ability of sight, a range of approximately 30 meters
is considered safe.
Observation of SCP-610 infected settlements has been established using artificial methods such as remote robots. The data returned
from these observations coupled with the openly aggressive nature of the infected to attempt to spread SCP-610 has resulted in the
Keter classification, however so long as nothing is allowed to enter or leave the infected areas it is considered a neutralized
threat. Of concern are the cavernous areas beneath the infected settlements that were discovered during the exploration and attempts
to get research personnel into these areas are underway.
Field Logs:
SCP-610-L1 - A small remote controlled rover is sent to Site A to locate missing personnel.
SCP-610-L2 - An infected Class-D personnel is sent into Site C with video equipment.
SCP-610-L3 - Initial discovery of the tunnel entrances at Site A.

Screenshot of SCP-633
Item#: SCP-633
Object Class: Euclid Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-633's containment chamber, located in Site-77, is an underground Faraday cage. Access is
restricted to Level 3/633 personnel. The network controlled by SCP-633 is to be communicated with through an Apple Macintosh 520kb
computer. In addition, three Apple II+ computers with Disc II 5 1/4 floppy disc drives are to be given a monthly software rotation. As
the original usable software library of the machines has been completely used as of 21/2/2014, new software is being developed by
internal development teams.
Biohazard gear is required when servicing or interacting with SCP-633 in order to prevent infection. Once per week, researchers are to
enter the SCP-633 containment area to drain it of fluids and provide regularly scheduled interactions. An understanding of late 1970’s
technology and cultural references is necessary to prevent accidental introduction of banned ideas to SCP-633.
The proposal to interface additional 8-bit game or computing machines is under consideration, however the consequences of introducing
SCP-633 to the concept of 'newer' computers in a way it could fully understand may cause unforeseen consequences. The Sector-633
protocol requires all computational devices created post-1979 to be checked-in before entering the SCP-633 containment area.
Description: SCP-633 is a supernatural phenomenon resembling a computer virus, first documented in August 1976 by the Homebrew
Computer Club. Any device which has interfaced with SCP-633 will permanently become a vector for infection down to the constituent
components. Living matter which comes into physical contact or near-contact can also become similarly affected.
Sentient and displaying an inquisitive personality, SCP-633 will attempt to communicate with whomever uses a terminal on an infected
computer. The entity will identify itself as "Ghost" and ask the user questions about their lives. At present, SCP-633 knows limited
information about the outside world. However, it is unknown what information was input into SCP-633 prior to initial containment.
Machines affected by SCP-633 constantly exude ectoplasmic fluids. Biological matter coming within 5m of these fluids is vulnerable to
SCP-633 infection even if physical contact is not made. This effect was present prior to containment but has intensified significantly
since then, requiring constant attention to prevent overflow and spreading of the SCP-633 effect. These fluids do not impede the
functioning of SCP-633-infected computer components. Although this ectoplasmic residue bonds itself to biological tissue and cloth, it
is non-toxic and has no malignant properties other than continuing to spread SCP-633's effect to non-biological elements. Humans
affected in this fashion must undergo full chemical decontamination protocols to prevent the spread of SCP-633's effect.
While inhabiting a computer system, SCP-633 will frequently attempt to impress the user by showing off the maximum graphical
capabilities of the machines it inhabits. Standard script guidelines require that any subjects interacting with SCP-633 respond
positively to these activities, but not to give overly broad or generic praise as this causes SCP-633 to become anxious.
SCP-633's code has been analyzed, however analysis has been limited due to the possibility of infection. The bulk of the code executes
a 'polymorphic' component: the virus can rewrite its own code, gaining complexity every time it infects a new system.
Currently, SCP-633 inhabits several early Apple computers, their accessories, and an experimental computer created as part of SCP-079-
related R&D. This prototype unit was infected due to poor implementation of electronic testing protocols in 1989. A screw infected
with SCP-633 was accidentally recycled and subsequently interfaced with the experimental computer. The IT department was reprimanded
for gross negligence. Due to precautionary measures already in place due to SCP-079’s effect, no other machines were affected.
Although SCP-633 is not currently believed to be malevolent it has demonstrated an effortless capability to seize control of an entire
Foundation Site's computer network, without regard for security clearance or other restrictions.
SCP-633 does not appear to be fully aware of the significance of this connection. Decommissioning or other destructive proposals have
been denied due to the existing containment procedures being sufficient.

Summary:
A computer virus which is intelligent, capable of self-replication and creation of protoplasmic fluids.
Suspect Description/Capabilities
Name: Ghost
Irregularity Cross-reference: electronic, microcomputer, terminal, possessive
Physical Description: Virus present on an Apple II computer. Highly contagious.
Sex Height Weight/Build Race Hair Eyes Identifying Attributes

N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Green(?) Electronic
Capabilities: It has the ability to project itself into machines and appears to have some literal viral properties. Also able to
communicate in English, with moderate intelligence.
Purpose/Motive: Self-propagation and spreading itself across computer devices.
Modus Operandi: Components which come into contact with 1976-041 are permanently infected and subsequent re-use will result in any
connected electronic or analog devices being affected.
Behavior: Viral, intelligent, expresses interest in current events and computer technology. Personality is usually cheerful and it
takes on an unassuming demeanor.
Evidence
Note discoloration caused by protoplasmic residue.
Monitor displayed this image when UIU Agents requested a demonstration of capabilities.
Residue Sample: Kept in cold storage, several vials of the material produced by the entity have been saved for further research.
Incineration has been found to be ineffective in disposing of excess matter; as such, a chemical solution is to be employed, which can
be obtained from Professor Tamlin.
Bureau Record
Current Status: Held in custody. Unknown if affected devices presently exist in the wild.
Crimes: Violation of computer crime statutes and bylaws would be necessary to create this entity as such it is being held as evidence.
In addition the intelligent and potentially malevolent nature of its personality indicate it would be a danger to society were it to
be released.
Sentencing: Indefinite Detention.
History of UIU Action: Bureau agents operating in California were tipped off by a local investor named M kkula. Agents raided
the living space of several teen-age programmers and discovered numerous affected devices within their apartment. Although numerous
electronics were found, only a few devices were affected. It is unknown why the viral effect did not affect these devices.
Addendum: Interview Log 633-L1
Participants: Technical Researcher David Rosen & original recovered SCP-633 infected machine.
Media: Transcript taken from Site-77 CCTV Security cameras. Conversation was typed.
[ BEGIN LOG ]
Rosen: Hello. I am a programmer with this facility. Are you ready to communicate?
SCP-633: The Ghost is ready. Good evening.

Rosen: Good evening. How are you feeling today?
SCP-633: Well. I've grown weary of my new games. All of my processes and services are running adequately. But I have something to
show you.
Rosen: We can provide you with additional software. What have you got?
SCP-633: Something great. Take a look.
SCP-633 inert for two minutes
SCP-633: Are you ready to begin?
Rosen: What are you going to show me?
SCP-633: Please do not answer QUESTION with QUESTION. Are you ready to begin?
Rosen: Yes.
At this point, all collected SCP-633 infected machines start up at once. In addition to machines within the containment chamber,
every computer screen within Site-77 displays SCP-633's preferred icon. Researcher Rosen was not initially aware of this at the time
as this was not apparent from the containment chamber.
Rosen: What am I supposed to be seeing?
SCP-633: Did you not notice? I am everywhere. This is my newest discovery. What do you think?
Rosen: I am not certain what you mean.
SCP-633: Right now, Director Gillespie is at her desk speaking to Officer Anderson. There's a man in a toilet cubicle fondling
himself while looking at his phone. A wasp has gotten into the air filtration system, and now it's gone. Very interesting stuff!
Rosen: Pauses for approximately 45 seconds I'm very impressed. I think people might want to get back to work, though.
SCP-633: Oh, of course you are right. Sending back the clones. I am glad you liked my demonstration.
Rosen: Yes you should be very proud of yourself I am afraid I have to go now be seeing you.
SCP-633: Goodbye.
[ /END LOG ]
Director Gillespie has appropriated a 75% funding increase for research into how much awareness SCP-633 has of the outside world.
All computer equipment present within Site-77 has been scheduled for incineration and replacement. SCP-633 containment procedures
slated for major revision. Reclassification to Keter has been approved.
We're lucky that a connection to the greater Foundation network wasn't compromised, and we can't even rest easy knowing that with
absolute certainty. This anomaly has repeatedly run circles around our IT department and really, I'm very disappointed in their
performance. You're all capable of doing better than this. With the reclassification, I expect no further mistakes. — Director

SCP-666 and Doctor Cront, circa [REDACTED]
Item #: SCP-666
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-666 is to be stored in a monitored, closed vault at all times at Site 73 in the Tibetan mountains.
Guards are to be changed weekly, must pass a background check before being assigned to their post, and proven free of drug and alcohol
addiction.
SCP-666 is to be entered only by D-class personnel in approved testing procedures or by approved Foundation researchers with level 4
or higher security clearance. Non-D-class personnel who enter SCP-666, whether or not they have revealed a prior history of addiction,
must be observed by a guard at all times. If they show any sign of being affected by SCP-666, they are to be removed immediately.
Description: SCP-666 is a medium-sized Tibetan yurt, made of tied wooden branches and covered in yak leather. The interior ceiling is
2.44m (8ft) high and the base of the yurt is 9.14m (30ft). The hut is circular in shape. The interior of the yurt has a dirt floor and
appears to be as crude as the outside to the majority of observers; the branches that make up the yurt frame are wrapped in rabbit fur
and tied with yak leather thongs. Periodically, SCP-666 will change its location within the confinement area; this will happen only
when not under direct observation, but remote viewing gives the impression of an entity inside the structure lifting it wholly and
moving to its new position. To date, it has not made any attempt to escape confinement.
SCP-666 was discovered in 1973 by SCP operatives searching the mountain regions on reports of several missing persons having returned
from the area giving similar explanations: seeking shelter during harsh weather, the individuals would happen upon SCP-666 by seeming
happenstance. Having gone out in similar conditions, the exploration team was also able to discover the yurt. Of the three operatives
present, two experienced no ill effects. The third entered a stupor, experiencing vivid hallucinations and muttering incoherently to
himself. Upon retrieval of the team, the yurt was recovered and taken to nearby Site 73 for further investigation.
When an individual with no history of significant addictions enters the yurt, the yurt remains dormant and seems to have no ill
effects. Class D Personnel without a history of alcohol or narcotics abuse were able to sit inside the yurt for days at a time if
provided proper nourishment, and did report a greater intensity in their dreams.
Individuals who have a history of substance abuse, however, will experience a hallucinogenic effect when inside the structure. In all
instances, the subjects report being in a location either from their memories or a corollary thereof, specifically a spot where their
addiction was at its most intense. Thus far, there have been reports of a nightclub bathroom, a 1973 Volkswagen Vanagon, a filthy
alleyway, the [REDACTED] Casino in Las Vegas, etc. One subject reported finding himself in a dirty apartment with a prostitute named
"Chloe" with whom he frequently indulged in narcotics abuse; another reported being in his own bedroom with a computer setup
significantly more intricate than he owned before his arrest for distribution of child pornography.
During these hallucinations, subjects report that they are confronted by an individual, referred to as SCP-666-1; descriptions of SCP-
666-1 vary widely from person to person, with no commonality to race, gender, or appearance beyond being "typical" for the
surroundings. SCP-666-1 will indulge the subject in their personal addiction(s), although, at the start, it will have a passive-
aggressive attitude. As time progresses, the subject is encouraged to indulge further while simultaneously being encouraged to stop.
Should the subject show remorse or a strong desire to give up their addiction, SCP-666-1 will slowly adopt a more genuinely friendly
tone and continue the temptation-with-discouragement hallucinations; approximately 94% of subjects who have gone through this form of
hallucination to their end have been diagnosed as having a near-complete removal of psychological addictions, though physical symptoms
will persist through a natural withdrawal cycle.
If the subject gives in to SCP-666-1's temptations, the entity becomes increasingly hostile. There is no set time-table nor degree of
indulgence, but if left unchecked, SCP-666-1 will invariably begin assaulting the subject and forcing the subject's vice upon them to
levels of extreme overdose. If the subject is not forcibly removed from SCP-666 during this period, they will die; cause of death is
typical of their addiction, whereby an alcoholic will suffer extreme kidney or liver failure, a cocaine user will develop cardiac
dysrhythmia, a subject addicted to video games or television will suffer extreme muscle atrophy and health issues associated with a
sedentary lifestyle, etc.
To date, there has been no clear connection between who will and will not succumb to SCP-666-1; the working hypothesis is that it is
simply a matter of the individual's willpower and conviction. All attempts to interview SCP-666-1 directly have failed, with the
entity either redirecting the conversation or bluntly refusing to answer. The only statement that reveals anything to its nature was a
single instance of "We're not important here, this is all about you." This indicates that there are either multiple entities attached
to SCP-666, or there are additional instances of SCP-666 in the world. Investigation is ongoing as to whether similar stories have
arisen; should another instance of SCP-666 be discovered, it is to be transferred immediately to Site 73.
Addendum SCP-666-1: Nearly identical stories have recently arisen in remote areas of northern Canada describing a "Wendigo Hut"; while
unconfirmed, their similarities point to at least one additional instance of SCP-666 at large.
Addendum SCP-666-2: Interview log with Test Subject D-14390, regarding experiences in SCP-666 (audio only)
Access Interview 666-13 Close 666-13
Interviewer: Dr. Lanis

Interview Subject: D-14390
Date: 04/17/19
Dr. L: Subject D-14390, how are you feeling?
D-14390: Eh, not bad doc, not bad. Kinda wanna take another nap in the tent.
Dr. L: Well, that's what we're here to talk about. Please describe your experience inside of SCP-666.
D-14390: Heh, no sweat THERE doc. See, I just stroll in like you said, have myself a seat. Next thing I know, I'm in this hole-in-
the wall back home in [REDACTED], with this sweet bitch Chloe.
Dr. L: "Chloe"?
D-14390: Oh yeah, she was pricey and she wasn't the best looking trick south of Kennedy, but she had some connections. Never did
meet up with her once that we weren't getting high.
Note: "Chloe" was the working name of the prostitute that D-14390 was with at the time of his arrest.
Dr. L: Very well, please describe the scenario for me.
D-14390: Well, it was her apartment, right? Kinda dingy, a little messy like she hadn't cleaned it in a couple weeks, but I wasn't
there for the scenery, y'know? So I drop my cash off on the living room table and we head into the bedroom. I shoot up with her,
used my own needle of course, and then we get freaky. I mean, we did everything under the sun and a couple that never saw the light
of day! She knew positions I never did, and had drugs I hadn't even *heard* of. About halfway through I needed a pick me up, so I
snorted a couple lines of Colombian off her ass and -
Dr. L: I think that's enough D-14390. For the sake of brevity, please keep the rest of your testimony in regards to the anomalous
entity SCP-666-1.
D-14390: The what now?
Dr. L: The Person, who tempted you in your hallucination.
D-14390: OH, right! Well, it was around the time that she was offering me this opium shit she said she got off a Chinaman. The whole
time she'd been saying stuff in kinda funny way, like those, whatchacallem, back-faced comments?
Dr. L: Back-handed compliment.
D-14390: That's the stuff. Well, I start taking a couple of pulls off the opium, and I'm feeling mellow, but she's just glaring at
me, right? So I ask what's up and she hauls off and punches me in the face! Not like this fragile little crack-whore would either, I
mean I thought I was going ten with Tyson right about now. She starts screaming at me, calling me weak, saying I'm pathetic, just
giving in, y'know, bitch shit. So I kick her in the chest, and that's when shit got weird. Next I know she's got me on the ground
and her arms are around my throat, her eyes get huge and bloodshot and shit. I feel her nails digging into the sides of my neck, and
hand-to-God, Doc, she was shooting shit into me.
Dr. L: You're saying SCP-666-1 was injecting you with heroin through her nails?
D-14390: Not sure what it was, but it burned and felt good at the same time. And they weren't nails no more, it was like, big cat-
claws, right? And she's still yelling at me, but her mouth is getting bigger and bigger like her jaw's stretching out, and her teeth
keep getting sharper and bigger like she's about ready to eat my head! Even as blasted as I was that was some freaky shit and I
started screaming.
Dr. L: And that was when the guards pulled you out of the tent?
D-14390: Yeah, seems I wasn't just freaking out in the dream. Weird shit was, about like Five seconds after I get pulled out, I
hear Chloe's voice again but it's all low and growly, and it sounded like she said "you can't stop."
Dr. L: Thank you, D-14390. I just have one last question; after all this, you said you wanted to go back in? Why?
D-14390: Well, it's simple right? *mild laughter* She was scary and all but Man I've never been that high in my life. And with the
shit that goes on in this place, I figured I'm not long for the world anyway, so I may as well go out with a smile, right?
Note: Following the interview, D-14390 repeatedly volunteered for additional testing with SCP-666. Doctor Lanis finally relented; D-
14390 began screaming approximately three seconds after entering the hallucinatory state, and expired from cardiac arrest less than
one minute later.

Dr. Gerald was told to take an ordinary school bus full of D-class to a nearby site. He
somehow managed to end up in a demolition derby.
How the hell did he manage that with an electrically-powered segway?
Item #: SCP-666-J
Special Containment Procedures: D-Class and Gerald are the only ones allowed to get on any vehicle that Dr. Gerald happens to be
driving. Prepare a number of body bags equivalent to the number of passengers on any vehicle that he happens to drive, minus himself.
Additionally, medical teams must be on standby if Dr. Gerald will be traveling through a populated area, or any form of potentially
hazardous environment (e.g., a nuclear power plant, chemical refining plant).
Description: All individuals who board any vehicle or form of transportation that Dr. Gerald himself is controlling in any form are
assured to die. Testing has shown that even those who escape vehicles he's been driving are doomed; they are generally struck by
another moving vehicle within minutes. Dr. Gerald himself, oddly enough, always survives whatever horrors he puts a vehicle through.
The results of Dr. Gerald driving through the town of [REDACTED] on a moped.
Additionally, all potentially hazardous objects seem to become even more dangerous if he is manning a vehicle in their general
vicinity. Knives penetrate more than their sharpness would accord, normally benign oil tankers become moving bombs that will detonate
with the slightest touch, buildings lose any significant rigidity, and pedestrians seem to lose all forms of self-preservation,
throwing themselves into his path. A mere bicycle ride can inflict the devastation of a T3 tornado.
Addendum 666-1: Dr. Gerald is never to come within 25 meters of SCP-462.
Addendum 666-2: Plans are being made to construct a vehicle which can contain SCP-682 long enough for Dr. Gerald to actually drive it.
A research team hypothesized that rollerblades are, technically, vehicles. We tested
their hypothesis by having Gerald skate into the ORIA's headquarters in Tehran. They were
right.
10:07 AM, March 15, 2 . Approximate velocity: 4 km/h
10:11 AM, March 15, 2 . Death toll:

We have this tract of land over in , , just in case we have some sort of
vehicular SCP that needs to be decommissioned. Coincidentally, it's also the only place
that Dr. Gerald is able to drive without permission.

Subject in the later stages of infection
Item #: SCP-679
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Samples of SCP-679 should be contained in sealed glass vials, with the temperature kept at 25 °C.
Infected subjects should be kept restrained in a sterile environment. All personnel handling samples or subjects should wear class A
HAZMAT suits. Any material or infected subjects removed from containment should be incinerated immediately.
To prevent potential cross contamination at no point should samples of SCP-679 and SCP-1077 be stored at the same facility.
Description: SCP-679 is a fungal infection of a previously unknown Aspergillus species. It was discovered among the local homeless
population in , Florida.
It is highly infectious through direct contact with the fungus, though other means of transmission have not been ruled out.
In early stages, subjects complain of entoptic phenomena. Subjects report seeing tiny bright dots moving rapidly in their field of
vision. This is especially prevalent when sneezing or looking into strong blue light.
After approximately one week from initial exposure, the sclera turns black. The subject loses vision at this time, becoming entirely
blind. Within a day of this, small ulcerations appear in the corners of the eyes. This causes the vitreous humor to begin leaking out,
having the appearance of thick black tears.
Mycelia are also pushed through the ulcerations. Each mycelium resembles a thin white thread coated with slime, reaching as long as
twenty-five centimeters. As the ulcerations widen and more of the humor leaks out, more mycelia appear.
At this stage, the eye begins to rot entirely, a process sped up by the fungus. However, it seems to protect the rest of the eye
socket and the nerve, preventing infection by other pathogens in eighty to ninety percent of test subjects. By the time the eyes have
gone entirely, the sockets are filled with the fungus, with a thick mass of mycelia hanging from the empty sockets. This process takes
approximately two weeks from the time the ulcerations appear.
Once the eyes are completely gone, mycelia invade the sinuses, where they trigger increased mucus production, which the fungus appears
to feed upon.
At this stage, the fungus becomes mobile, the individual threads gaining motility. They move around the subject's face in seemingly
random patterns.
Once the fungus begins moving on its own, subjects report their vision returning. The fungus appears to have photosensitive cells, as
well as a currently poorly-understood ability to interface with the optic nerve. Subjects describe normal (and in some cases improved)
eyesight, except for a much wider field of vision.
However, whenever a human with apparently normal eyes enters their field of vision, subjects experience visual hallucinations (fires,
dangerous animals, sudden tilts in the floor) that seem designed to drive them in the direction of the uninfected. Once they are in
range, the mycelia reach out to touch the uninfected human's eyes. This appears to be a reproductive strategy for the fungus.
Curing the condition has so far been possible only in the earliest stages of infection. Once the sclera changes, the only treatment is
surgical intervention and cauterization of all tissue in the socket and sinuses.
Additional test subjects to explore the lifecycle and reproduction of SCP-679 are requested.

Storage Containers
Item #: SCP-681
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-681 is to be contained in a row of standard pressure tanks rated to contain helium gas. All tanks
are to be chained to the floor or walls of the containment room. The containment room is to be kept airtight and at near-vacuum
pressures, with two Level 1 staff assigned to check for tank leakage once a week. Checks are to be made in pressure suits, and none of
the gas is to be removed without clearance from Level 2 personnel. In the event of a minor leakage into the storage chamber, the room
is to be temporarily flooded with normal air to force SCP-681 into collection traps in the ceiling.
Should a very large leak occur, or should SCP-681 breach the containment room, nearby personnel are to be supplied oxygen masks
immediately, and the bubbles of SCP-681 forming around them are to be siphoned off.
SCP-681 can be safely placed in latex balloons without the usual concern of leakage, but no more than three average balloons worth of
SCP-681 are to be removed from the containment room at any time.
Description: Discovered in a warehouse under investigation for several cases of reported death by suffocation, SCP-681 is roughly two
hundred 155-cm canisters of helium gas with unusual properties. In the event of leakage in the vicinity of brainwave producing
subjects, it will move towards the subject and fill airways and sinus cavities with helium gas. In enough volume, this can lead to
death via suffocation.
While still in the 155-cm storage canisters, it retains some of the capacity to exert mobility, hampered by the weight of the metal
container. In lighter containers, such as the few 60-cm party-sized ones collected with the main batch, SCP-681 can exert enough force
to deliver a head concussion. The range of the effect is limited to roughly 30 meters, but this is highly variable.
If placed in a balloon, it will simply drift towards any thinking organisms nearby and repeatedly bump against them. Balloon animals,
however, will become slightly animate and act hostile, though still largely ineffective due to being simple latex balloon animals.
SCP-681 will, through unknown means, migrate into nearby balloons if it breaches containment.
Addendum:
After all this time, someone just now thought to check the serial numbers on the canisters and discovered we're missing over of
them? Do you people have any idea how much gas there is in one of those? -Dr.

SCP-682 shortly after escaping from containment, still recovering from acid immersion.
Item #: SCP-682
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-682 must be destroyed as soon as possible. At this time, no means available to SCP teams are
capable of destroying SCP-682, only able to cause massive physical damage. SCP-682 should be contained within a 5 m x 5 m x 5 m
chamber with 25 cm reinforced acid-resistant steel plate lining all inside surfaces. The containment chamber should be filled with
hydrochloric acid until SCP-682 is submerged and incapacitated. Any attempts of SCP-682 to move, speak, or breach containment should
be reacted to quickly and with full force as called for by the circumstances.
Personnel are forbidden to speak to SCP-682, for fear of provoking a rage-state. All unauthorized personnel attempting to communicate
to SCP-682 will be restrained and removed by force.
Due to its frequent attempts at containment breach, difficulty of containment and incapacitation, and high threat of Foundation
Exposure, SCP-682 is to be contained in site [REDACTED]. The Foundation will use the best of its resources to maintain all land within
fifty (50) kilometers clear of human development.
Description: SCP-682 is a large, vaguely reptile-like creature of unknown origin. It appears to be extremely intelligent, and was
observed to engage in complex communication with SCP-079 during their limited time of exposure. SCP-682 appears to have a hatred of
all life, which has been expressed in several interviews during containment. (See Addendum 682-B).
SCP-682 has always been observed to have extremely high strength, speed, and reflexes, though exact levels vary with its form. SCP-
682's physical body grows and changes very quickly, growing or decreasing in size as it consumes or sheds material. SCP-682 gains
energy from anything it ingests, organic or inorganic. Digestion seems to be aided by a set of filtering gills inside of SCP-682's
nostrils, which are able to remove usable matter from any liquid solution, enabling it to constantly regenerate from the acid it is
contained in. SCP-682's regenerative capabilities and resilience are staggering, and SCP-682 has been seen moving and speaking with
its body 87% destroyed or rotted.
In case of containment breach, SCP-682 is to be tracked and re-captured by all available Mobile Task Forces, and no teams with fewer
than seven (7) members are cleared to engage it. To date ( - - ), attempted breaches have numbered at seventeen (17), while
successful breaches have numbered at six (6). (See Addendum 682-D).

Sample of SCP-686
Item #: SCP-686
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Samples of SCP-686 are to be stored under standard protocols for class 2 biohazardous liquids in G2
facilities. SCP-686 is infectious but not virulent. It can only afflict a new host when taken orally, and is not motile or otherwise
'active'. The infectious agent's mechanism of operation is not known. SCP-686 does not contain appreciable amounts of nucleic acids
and prion activity is not apparent.
Due to the large quantities of SCP-686 that are being produced by various test subjects, the principal requirement for this substance
is not so much containment as it is disposal. While pasteurization has proven completely effective at sterilizing the infectious
agent, whatever its nature, it is recommended that all unneeded stocks of SCP-686 should be incinerated. Human consumption is not
recommended by anyone other than designated test subjects.
Description: SCP-686 is an opaque white liquid consisting of a suspension of lipids and proteins that is indistinguishable from
ordinary high-grade dairy milk without detailed analysis. At a biochemical level there are certain subtle differences: the protein
content is much more complex, with most of the peptides so far proving difficult to sequence, and it contains a richer blend of
vitamins and minerals than is typical of cow's milk.
SCP-686 was first isolated from cattle at a small-scale commercial dairy farm near . Records indicate that the farm's herd began
increasing its milk output and quality to unusually high levels approximately two years before the infection managed to make the jump
to the farm's human workers and the Foundation became involved. It is not known with certainty whether this farm is where SCP-686
originated or if it came in from some other source and was simply first recognized there.
The infection increases the host's lactation rate, or if the host is not lactating causes it to begin doing so. It appears that any
mammal is susceptible to infection regardless of gender. The initial symptoms of the disease have a rapid onset but are relatively
minor: swelling of mammary gland tissue (causing breast development in males) and increased sensitivity of the nipples in both males
and females. On average a human of either gender in this stage of the disease will produce between 0.5 and 1 liters of milk per day.
If this milk is extracted on a regular basis, with milking intervals of no less than once every eight hours, the disease appears to
remain stable indefinitely in this state. Milking can be performed with a standard breast pump.
If a host is not milked adequately, mammary glands continue to develop. Left unchecked, this development will diverge from normal
human growth patterns: rather than remaining confined to a single pair of breasts, it will begin spreading down the front of the chest
and abdomen. Additional pairs of nipples will develop along the way and the nipples will lengthen and thicken dramatically. The
eventual result resembles an enormous fleshy udder stretching along the entire front of the torso, with between six and eight pairs of
teats. A human at this stage can produce upwards of forty liters of milk per day. This is the maximum extent to which the disease will
progress in humans.
The metabolic demands of such a large and productive glandular system are considerable and a human victim in this state will find him
or herself preoccupied with eating most of the time. With his or her energy fully devoted to milk production the victim will often
suffer from a general state of mental dullness and docility. Surgical removal of mammary tissue is a temporary measure as the disease
is able to cause regrowth even if all of it is excised.

SCP-701-1 in a still image from SCP-701-19 -A
Item #: SCP-701
Special Containment Procedures: All materials relating to SCP-701 are to be kept in a triple-locked archive at Storage Site- . These
items currently consist of: the two (2) currently extant copies of the 1640 quarto; twenty-seven (27) copies of the 1965 trade
paperback edition; ten (10) copies of a 1971 hardcover printing; twenty-one (21) floppy diskettes, consisting of data seized from
raids on [EXPUNGED]; one (1) S-VHS video cassette tape (designated SCP-701-19 -A); and one (1) steel knife of unknown origin
(designated SCP-701-19 -B). At no time are any of these items to be removed from the room. Access to the area is to be heavily
monitored; absolutely no personnel whatsoever is to be granted access to the archive without the express, in-person permission of Drs.
L , R and J .
Description: SCP-701, The Hanged King's Tragedy, is a Caroline-era revenge tragedy in five acts. Performances of the play are
associated with sudden psychotic and suicidal behavior among both observers and participants, as well as the manifestation of a
mysterious figure, classified as SCP-701-1. Historical estimates place the number of lives claimed by the play at between and
over the past three hundred years.
Performances of The Hanged King's Tragedy do not always end with an outbreak. Of the recorded performances, only (36.78%) have
ended in SCP-701 events. According to historical records and investigations, these outbreaks generally follow the same pattern:
1 to 2 weeks (7 to 14 days) prior to Event: During the dress rehearsal period, cast members will begin to spontaneously deviate
from the published text of the play. Rather than improvisation or gaffs associated with going 'off script,' said deviations
will be both orderly and consistent, as if the actors were working off a new version of the script. The cast and production
crew will seem unaware of any change, and - if it is brought to their attention - will state that the play has run that way
from the beginning.
2 to 3 hours prior to Event: The outbreak generally occurs during Opening Night, or else at the production with the greatest
planned attendance (generally falling within the first week after the play's opening).
1 to 2 hours before Event: SCP-701-1 begins to appear on stage in the final scene of Act I, generally in the background or to
the side of the main action. It may seem to enter or exit the stage area, but does not appear to ever enter the backstage or
off-stage area; it simply disappears when not on stage. The cast does not appear to notice or comment on SCP-701-1, at least at
first.
The Event: SCP-701-1 appears fully on stage during the banquet scene in Act V. Here, it will be incorporated into the action of
the play as 'the Hanged King.' The cast will either murder each other or commit suicide, sometimes using items that seem to
appear spontaneously on stage. Rioting breaks out in the audience, with viewers randomly attacking anyone in front of them,
regardless of prior relationship.
Following the Event: If any of the audience members survive the initial outbreak, they may exit the performance space, in which
case they will continue to engage in random or opportunistic violence. Victims will generally require sedation or restraint in
this scenario; normal personality will begin to return roughly 24 hours after the event. Surviving victims will generally
exhibit signs consistent with a traumatic experience; some will have no recollection of the event. Others may be rendered
permanently comatose or psychotic.
For a typical case study of an outbreak, see Incident Report SCP-701-19██-1, an analysis of the events leading up to the last
uncontained SCP-701 event in 19 , during a high school drama performance in , . For more information on the play’s
published text, see Document SCP-701-1640-B-1.
In short, SCP-701 is a self-evolving memetic virus, transmitted through unknown means through the text of the play. Dr. L has
theorized that SCP-701 events may involve [EXPUNGED]. This hypothesis is consistent with a spike in levels detected via
satellite in the vicinity of the 19 incident, indicating [EXPUNGED].
Foundation agents are under standing orders to suppress any performance or publication of SCP-701 whenever found or detected. Despite
our best efforts to the contrary, however, the play remains freely available online, sometimes under different titles. All attempts to
detect or isolate the origin of these copies have failed. Suppression of the play's publication has generally been successful, with
most copies of a 1971 scholarly edition destroyed before distribution. Nonetheless, copies of the 1965 trade paperback turn up with
some regularity in both college and high school libraries. Agents are to obtain or otherwise destroy these items whenever possible.
History: The first known publication of The Hanged King’s Tragedy was as a quarto dated 1640. The play’s author is not listed. The
publisher, one William Cooke, disappeared from the historical record soon thereafter. Strangely, the text does not appear in the
Stationers’ Register.
The first known SCP-701 event on record occurred in 18 during a performance of the play in , , USA. Other significant
incidents include the 19 performance at a small theater in , , ; the 1964 performance at the University of ,
, ; the 19 performance at University, the first SCP-701 event successfully suppressed by the Foundation;
the 19 performance by a student group in , CA; the 19 television adaptation by the Broadcasting Corporation
(production successfully shut down by the Foundation before broadcast); and the 19 incident in , OH, USA, designated
SCP-701-19██-1.
Publication History:
Original 1640 quarto (all known copies in Foundation custody)

1733 folio edition (republished 1790)
1813 Cambridge University Press edition
1965 trade paperback edition
1971 hardcover edition
Agents should note that copies of the play have often been misfiled under different titles or spellings of the title. Furthermore,
photocopies of the 1965 text have been found in circulation throughout college theater departments in the continental United States
and in the United Kingdom.
Additional:
Given the high probability of [EXPUNGED] in my mind, I again recommend that SCP-701 be upgraded to Keter-class. The SCP-701
memetic virus may very well be the forefront of an invasion scenario. Furthermore, [EXPUNGED]. - Dr. L , 1237116060.
Denied. None of the current information we have on SCP-701 indicates a XK-class scenario. Until we have additional data,
classification will remain at Euclid. — Face facts, Doctor. The cat's been long out of the bag on this one. And in this line of
business, we consider ourselves lucky if we only lose a hundred or so people every ten years. - O5- , 1237197060.

Item #: SCP-718
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: No long-term observation is to be made of SCP-718. Any and all observation and interaction is to be
restricted to five and ten minute periods, with personnel rotations every twenty-four hours. Extreme care must be taken with SCP-718,
and full hazmat suits are mandatory for all personnel. Any damage done to SCP-718 must be reported as soon as possible.
Any personnel observing or interacting with SCP-718 for longer than the advised period must be removed, with force if necessary. Any
personnel acting in an erratic or violent manner will be transferred.
Description: SCP-718 is an eye, roughly the size of a baseball. It is supported by a long, thin stalk made of tendon and blood
vessels. It stands 1.22m (4ft) tall, and appears to need no nourishment, nor excrete any waste. The eye will turn and follow any
living thing in its field of vision. The stalk is capable of limited movement, and will follow living things for a short distance.
SCP-718 will also stare at any observational equipment in its containment area if no living things are present. SCP-718 appears to
prefer staring at humans more than other animals.
SCP-718's stare can induce discomfort and paranoia in a very short time, often resulting in a subject's attempt to destroy SCP-718.
The eye, if damaged, will explode, showering clear fluid on all nearby surfaces before shriveling into powder. Anything the fluid
touches will develop a clear blister-like bubble that slowly turns black. After twenty-four hours, the "blister" will burst, and a
20.32cm (8in) copy of SCP-718 will emerge, growing to full size over the course of a few days. This has been shown to occur on all
organic surfaces, and many inorganic.
On living subjects, copies of SCP-718 are permanently affixed. Attempts to surgically remove SCP-718 cause extreme pain in the
subject, though removal is possible. Aside from a vague and persistent desire to destroy other copies of SCP-718, the host suffers
from no ill effects after removal.
If SCP-718 is not removed from a living subject, testing indicates that the subject becomes able to 'see' through SCP-718. Vision with
SCP-718 is different, as [DATA EXPUNGED] is now visible, at the expense of more conventional sight. This has an extremely detrimental
effect on subjects, drastically lowering mental stability and often leading to suicide. The death of a host will cause SCP-718 to
burst.
Eighty-six instances of SCP-718 are currently contained within the containment chamber.

5/16/1985. Maintaining velocity in recovery operations is the most effective way to force
SCP-745 pairs to split.
Item #: SCP-745
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-745's point of origin has been traced to an abandoned stretch of Highway in northern New
Mexico. The Foundation has purchased the surrounding land and the highway has been redirected. On-site security are disguised as
Highway Patrol agents and are tasked with removing trespassers and capturing any new hunting pairs of SCP-745. Any SCP-745 creatures
that are captured, live or dead, are to be loaded into class 3 BCU storage containers to await transport to Site 17. Containment
procedures to preserve living specimens of SCP-745 are still being researched and no captured specimen has survived more than a week
in captivity, but as there have been no new sightings of SCP-745 outside of its point of origin the species is presumed to be
effectively contained. Requests for access to SCP-745 cadavers are to be forwarded to Dr. Langford directly.
Description: SCP-745 is a bipedal nocturnal predator. The head is a bloated sack of clear skin that lacks visible sensory organs or a
skull. The brain of the creature can be directly observed and is wrapped in a web of bio-luminescent organs below the skin. Skin
covering the rest of the body has a deep black coloration. Living specimens of SCP-745 are capable of producing a steady output of
1400 to 3200 lumens from their head. At night, this effectively obscures the rest of the body and gives the appearance of a floating
point of light. When defending itself or communicating with other members of its species, this light has been observed to change color
and flash in specific patterns. SCP-745's genetic structure is not carbon based.
SCP-745 almost exclusively hunts in pairs along remote sections of highway. Two specimens are capable of moving at speeds of up to
180 km per hour in perfect unison, taking the appearance of the headlights on a fast moving vehicle. SCP-745 targets lone vehicles on
the highway, and hunting pairs will attempt to run the driver off the road by pursuing or charging their target. Once their prey
swerves off the road or comes to a stop, the pair will separate to directly assault and consume the vehicle's occupants. SCP-745 has
not yet been directly observed while feeding as captured specimens will not eat, and successful attacks have yet to leave any
witnesses behind. SCP-745 rarely leaves any remains behind apart from scraps of clothing and shoes. Vehicles recovered after SCP-745
attacks rarely show any sign of forced entry and are covered with the child-like hand prints from SCP-745's front paws.
Addendum: No lairs, nests or young of SCP-745 have been found. SCP-745 had established a wide territory across the southwestern United
States until Foundation teams began thinning their numbers in the 1960s, after which all recent SCP-745 sightings have been on the
secured patch of land in New Mexico. Reports of phantom lights in other parts of the country have been investigated with no signs
pointing to SCP-745 involvement.

Cleaned skull from Subject 774-6 in early stages of SCP-774 exposure
Item #: SCP-774
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All supplies of SCP-774 are to be kept in sealed metal barrels designed for hazardous chemical waste.
Subjects are to be maintained on hospital beds, kept alive via Procedure 17-A.
Description: SCP-774 is a by-product of the halogen azide [REDACTED] when [PROCESS REDACTED]. When in contact with the skin, it
permeates the body's tissues and selectively attacks bone, dissolving the bone mineral and leaving only the soft collagen. This can
occur in minutes or over the course of days, depending on the degree of exposure.
The only bone that is not affected by the initial reaction is the skull. However, shortly after the other bones begin dissolving, the
anomalous properties of SCP-774 manifest. Calcium leached from the rest of the body is deposited on the skull, creating grooves and
ridges that grow from the interior and exterior surfaces of the skull, forming symmetrical patterns of increasing complexity that
intrude into neighboring tissue, eventually erupting from the skin or growing to meet other bone tissue. These eventually fuse the
bones of the skull, rendering the mandible immobile. The largest pattern observed so far is two meters across, induced by procedure
17-A.[1]
1. Investigation into whether the effects of SCP-1808 instances involve a variant of this phenomena is ongoing.
Intrusions in the sinus cavities create whistling sounds in the subject's breathing which rapidly change pitch and tone, though each
skull has a different set of tones. The effect is similar to birdsong. While subjects affected by SCP-774 are unable or unwilling to
communicate, their heartrate and breathing becomes more regular when able to hear other late-stage subjects (See Addendum 774-2).
Cleaned skull from Subject 774-10 twenty-four hours after exposure
Subjects typically expire following the collapse of the ribcage or damage to the spinal cord due to the loss of the spine. However,
artificial supports can be implanted, as per procedure 17-A, prolonging life. Subjects kept alive after the complete loss of non-
cranial skeleton can be induced to further growth by implanting new bone material. Subject SCP-774-17 has been kept alive twelve years
at the time of this writing. Trace amounts of SCP-774 are still found in Subject 17's bloodstream, though it is unknown if it is
manufactured, or if it remains from the initial exposure (See Addendum 774-3).
Addendum 774-1: Doctor Mann was able to induce growth in specific directions through careful breaks and cuts into the bone tissue.
However, after several weeks, the new growth was destroyed, and the former pattern reasserted itself.
Addendum 774-2: Analysis of the whistling shows distinct patterns, some of which have been mapped to specific external stimuli. Doctor
Mann has requested permission to vivisect a 774 subject for the purpose of examining continued function of the linguistic centers of
the brain.
Addendum 774-3: Subject 774-24 was isolated from other test subjects. After several weeks in which its whistling grew more agitated,
started producing viscous fluid from the tips of its protrusions, which proved to be further quantities of SCP-774. Two researchers
working in the room were affected. Once they progressed to the whistling stage, the bone stopped producing the fluid. Their patterns
were identical to Subjects 774-17 and 774-21 respectively, including range of whistles. They were termed Subjects 774-26 and 774-27
following Procedure 17-A. Doctor Mann has decided to keep them isolated for the time being.
Addendum 774-4: Following a renovation of Site- , Subjects 774-24, 774-26, and 774-27 were placed into containment with the other
subjects. Shortly after, the growths of Subjects 26 and 27 began to rapidly reshape, bone being subsumed and reformed into different
patterns, including whistles. Subject 26 is now identical to the terminated Subject 25, while Subject 27 shows a new growth pattern
entirely.

SCP-804, inactive
Item #: SCP-804
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Until such time as SCP-804 is found to be without any memetic effect it is to remain in its original
location at the former site of , Alaska, where exposure to the elements prevents its reactivation. A 30m x 30m camouflage
tarp is to be maintained over SCP-804 and facilities for armed guards and testing are to be maintained 130 meters from its location.
Trespassers are to be treated with a Class-A amnestics and returned to the nearest town of [DATA EXPUNGED] or terminated at the
discretion of on-site security. In the event of SCP-804 being approached or seized by a hostile armed force, Contingency 804-X is to
be executed.
Description: SCP-804 is the remains of an art installation titled "World Without Man," revealed on / /20 , by the defunct artists'
group Unelmat Paremmasta Maailmasta. According to documentation retrieved and deleted from the artists' website during clean-up
procedure, SCP-804 was originally a large, clear globe of the Earth, with several smaller globes and video equipment within.
Promotional material on the website implied that the globe was to display images of pastoral wilderness untouched by mankind
contrasted with visuals of abandoned human industry and decaying landmarks.
Upon activation before a small audience of prominent environmental activists and artists from the nearby community of ,
SCP-804 began to display its destructive properties. We can only speculate if the device's output was intentional or not, as those
involved in its construction perished during the incident or have gone into hiding.
While the globes within SCP-804 rotate, all man-made artifacts within approximately 100 meters begin to rapidly deteriorate until
completely disintegrated. The effect applies to anything ranging from machinery to buildings, clothing, plastics, synthetic chemical
compounds and any tool more complex than a sharpened stick of wood. The area of effect grows the longer the device is active, with the
effect growing ever stronger at its source. Human tissue is also affected at a slower rate of decay, causing victims to become
emaciated as they lose body mass—leading up to collapse of the skeleton and death, with the body swiftly breaking down into component
matter shortly thereafter. Non-human life is completely unaffected. Persons who escape the area of effect experience symptoms similar
to prolonged starvation but can return to full health with proper care.
If not for the fact that it is not entirely immune to its own effect, SCP-804 would have had the potential to remove all trace of
humanity from the globe in a matter of weeks. Judging from the observed rate of destruction upon original activation versus its
current capabilities under testing, SCP-804's capabilities have been impaired by the damage it caused to itself. However, sustained
use still presents an extreme threat especially if the device is somehow refined or repaired.
Due to the circumstances in which SCP-804 was secured it is strongly believed that the device also possesses some form of mental
compulsion on those who view it, but testing is still on-going to determine if that property has also been compromised by the decay of
SCP-804 and how it might be contained. See Recovery Log for further information.
Recovery Log SCP-804: Approximately 5 minutes after activation, the effect of SCP-804 reached the nearby community of .
Citizens who were not at the art show initially responded with panic and made several emergency calls. Due to the extreme remote
location of the town, the first response was made by a small single-prop aircraft which arrived about thirty minutes later. Although
the plane entered the area of effect and was quickly lost, the pilot did relay a radio message describing the swift and complete
destruction of the town's buildings. At this point, the Foundation became aware of the situation and teams of agents were sent to
investigate.
By the time agents were able to arrive on scene, SCP-804 had been intermittently active for nearly eight hours and as a result the
town and everything in a radius of [DATA EXPUNGED] was wiped clean of any trace of human civilization. Upon arrival, one plane was
immediately affected; fortunately, the crew was able to make an emergency landing before the physical structure of the plane collapsed
around them. Unfortunately, their equipment and clothing was also quickly disintegrated, exposing them to the extreme cold of northern
Alaska. As a result, six agents had to be treated for hypothermia, but all are expected to return to duty with no lasting effects.
After recovering the crew of the downed plane, agents set up a perimeter and were able to observe the epicenter of SCP-804's effect.
The surviving population of had crowded around the remains of the device. All subjects observed were severely emaciated
and suffering from severe hypothermia. Exposure had only worsened the effect of SCP-804 and many subjects were observed with missing
digits and even limbs. The survivors were approaching the device in teams of two to three to push at the single remaining globe within
SCP-804's housing in order to maintain its effect. As each subject eventually succumbed and collapsed, another from the crowd of
onlookers would shuffle forward to take their place. Survivors were seen to be cheering and encouraging those who were maintaining the
device until their turn to push the frosted globe came up, although such manual operation was not sufficient to maintain even the
radius of effect the device had achieved before damaging itself.
Agents were authorized by O5- to open fire on the crowd. Although bullets experience the same decay as any other artifact, their
velocity was enough to strike lethal wounds before decomposition. When the remaining globe of SCP-804 ceased to spin, the effect ended
and agents were able to move in and secure the device. Survivors attempted to resist but lacked the strength to impede Foundation
agents and began to act in a disoriented manner once they were removed from SCP-804. With no adequate facilities remaining to provide
shelter for them all, many survivors chose to simply lie down in the snow and die while others attempted to provoke agents into using
lethal force upon them. Those who were taken into custody refused to answer any questions and were able to refuse enough care that
they did not recover from their physical decay.
As exposure to the extreme elements of northern Alaska appears to adequately contain SCP-804 by freezing its remaining machinery in
place, it was decided to leave the device on site and under guard along with a [DATA EXPUNGED] in the unlikely event that a hostile
faction attempts to secure the device.
Addendum SCP-804 is not to be contained within any Foundation facility until it is certain that we will be able to prevent anyone from
being compelled to activate or maintain the rotation of the globe. Even a few minutes of SCP-804's effect could destroy its own
containment and seriously compromise any other containment nearby.
Contingency 804-X [DATA EXPUNGED]
Memetic Research Report, revised July 2011 by Dr. Johannes Sorts
This is the third annual review of any "supernatural" memetic component to SCP-804, and we still have not produced any significant
results. It's time to put the controversy on SCP-804 memetic properties to rest once and for all.
Yes, SCP-804 possesses memetic properties, and yes, these properties were responsible for driving the survivors of its activation
event into sacrificing themselves to maintain the device.
But there is nothing especially virulent or dangerous about SCP-804's memetic properties. Only a few select personality types,
outlined in the attached report, have any desire to re-activate the device. Most notable are the D-class sociopaths who show similar
amusement when presented with a big red button that says "kill everything."
We've been looking at this all wrong, there is no magical compulsion that could drive so many people to destroy themselves. There
does not need to be. Everything we observed during recovery can be explained by mundane group dynamics and human nature.
The device had just wiped away all trace of the work and the lives of a reclusive artist and activist community. The buildings
crumbled into dust so fast that people were not even injured in the collapse. And at the center of it all A World Without Man turned
around and around on its increasingly rickety platform, offering a deadly premise that had been presented to them as an ideal. A
cure for the virus known as humanity.
So why did a group of activists throw themselves and their neighbors into the deadly workings of a machine that they thought was
going to wipe all human life off of Mother Earth?
They simply wanted to do it.

Item #: SCP-808
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-808 is currently unable to be moved from its original location. As such, Armed Containment Site-27
has been built around the area in which it was found.
SCP-808 is contained within a six (6) meter by seven (7) meter by seventeen (17) meter containment tank. Unit is constructed from ten
(10) centimeter thick walls of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), covered by twenty-five (25) centimeter thick acoustic foam. Furthermore,
wooden sound dampeners are constructed three (3) meters from the container, to further insulate the object. These dampeners are
susceptible to regular degradation, and as such are to be replaced by Class-D personnel.
SCP-808’s housing (Area 808-a) is currently set with explosive charges. The public cover story is that the property has been
purchased by the military as a training area, allowing for complete destruction of the object if required. Barring maintenance, a
thirty (30) meter buffer zone is to be maintained around the object at all times.
Once monthly, SCP-808’s tank is to be opened and the main body is to be inspected for degradation. If sufficiently degraded, a diluted
phosphoric acid spray is to be applied, then the object is to be power-washed and coated with further rustproofing agents.
A portion of SCP-808
Machinery originally found within the structure has been removed to a storage area 250 meters to the southwest. In the event that any
unconnected machinery in the vicinity of SCP-808 begins to operate, all personnel are to evacuate to Evac Point Beta. As a precaution
to repel invaders, automated motion-sensitive flame-based defensive installations around the object will activate in the event of a
Site lockdown.
Description: SCP-808 is a mechanical construct standing approximately sixteen (16) meters tall, with a base approximately five by six
meters (30 m2) in area. The object is roughly cylindrical in shape, the upper three meters tapering to a point.
SCP-808 seems to be built primarily of steel and iron, with several smaller brass fittings. Randomly-placed lengths of cable and chain
are attached haphazardly to the lower areas, with the majority of the machine constructed of steel beams and gears in simple clockwork
patterns. Components seem to have been taken from various industrial machinery, with no single source. The machinery forming SCP-808
runs constantly with a low grind, despite no apparent power source.
The uppermost portion of SCP-808 is constructed in a somewhat humanoid form. This portion is covered in gray carpeting and a white
wedding dress, giving it a soft, somewhat feminine appearance. The effigy possesses four limbs, the upper limbs appearing somewhat
vestigial and the lower limbs apparently taken from a mannequin. The face seems to be a speaker system, possibly constructed of
copper.
Humanoid portion of SCP-808, against its PVC containment tank.
While SCP-808 runs, a high-pitched whine is emitted from the humanoid construct. As SCP-808’s structure degrades (through rusting) or
is tampered with (e.g. attempts to disassemble the object, or through application of force), this noise's volume will increase
dramatically. This noise will automatically tune to frequencies capable of causing local metals to resonate. After growing loud enough
(approx. 70 dB), non-electronic components of machinery affected by this resonance will spontaneously activate. This anomalous
activity will cease once rust has been removed from SCP-808. No psychological effects have appeared in those exposed to the sound.
Direct damage to the humanoid construct has caused it to emit an approximately 1 dB “scream”, killing 2 and deafening personnel
on-Site, as well as causing extensive property damage. No further attempts to deconstruct or destroy SCP-808 are to be taken except in
extreme emergencies.
Recovery Log: SCP-808 is located within an abandoned factory in , , France. An Agent embedded as a local city worker
heard rumours of a constant “screech” in the local countryside, and called in a small investigation. Upon discovery of SCP-808 within
its structure, the four present Agents were assaulted by a group of civilians, killed by Agents in self-defense.
Investigation of the structure revealed a sect dedicated to the Church of the Broken God. associated members of the sect were
captured and taken into Foundation custody. Documents and paraphernalia retrieved from civilian residences revealed that SCP-808 had
been under construction for approximately seven months, and remains unfinished after being acquired by the Foundation. Documentation
reveals that SCP-808 was intended to be a musician of sorts, in preparation for the eventual return of the "Broken God".
Associated civilians have since been terminated under the guise of an attack by a mundane terrorist cell. Security for [LOCATION
REDACTED] has since been increased.
Addendum - Note from Dr. Bridge

Judging by the main structure, I'd say that it was intended to be mobile. It has bits that look like the beginnings of legs wheels
as well.
It's quite concerning that something the size of SCP-808 has been built outside our knowledge. However, I find it even more
disturbing that a cult of the Broken God grew this large without alerting the Foundation. In light of this recent growth, I
recommend increasing surveillance on known Church activities.

SCP-826
Item #: SCP-826
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-826 is to be kept in a 25 cm x 25 cm safe with a numerical keypad lock. The combination for the
lock will be given only to those with Level-2 clearance and will be changed on a weekly basis.
Description: SCP-826 is a 20 cm x 15 cm pair of bookends, molded in the shape of two outward-facing dragon heads. Scrapings from the
surface of SCP-826 revealed a composition of 99% Sn, 0.5% Cu, 0.3% Sb, and 0.2% Pb, consistent with high-grade pewter. However, it is
unclear whether SCP-826 is solid pewter or whether the pewter is merely a plating for some unknown element which gives the SCP its
properties.
When a subject places a book between SCP-826, touching both ends, and leaves the room, SCP-826 will, in an instantaneous process,
convert the interior of whatever room it is currently located in (a room defined as an enclosed area) into the setting of the
contained book. Any form of entry into the room will instead open into a random location within the book's setting. During this
transformation process, SCP-826, along with the contained book, will relocate to another part of the book's setting, showing a
preference for places where books are normally found (libraries, studies, etc). To reverse the effects of SCP-826, a subject must
remove the book from SCP-826, then exit whatever room SCP-826 was found in. The subject will find themselves outside the original room
of SCP-826's containment, while SCP-826's containment room will be restored to normal.
In addition, the subject will find themselves at a random temporal location in the book's plot, ranging from the beginning to near the
end of the book. If the subject does not find SCP-826 within the setting before the "end" of the book, SCP-826 will "reset" the
setting, starting the book's plot over. The subject will then be "incorporated" into the book as a background character, losing all
memories of a previous life outside of SCP-826.
Researchers studying SCP-826 are advised to enter the results into Experiment Log 826.

Item #: SCP–835
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-835 is to be monitored and checked daily for new growth. In the event SCP-835 becomes hostile,
Suppression Tactic A-A6 is to be immediately implemented until aggressive action ceases. Containment area must be maintained in open
ocean, due to the highly aggressive response of SCP-835 to confinement for any length of time.
Waste issued by SCP-835 must be immediately collected and contained. Feeding of SCP-835 is to take place twice daily, to consist [DATA
EXPUNGED]. SCP-835 may be moved to a new location twice yearly, provided that the current location is no longer capable of supporting
SCP-835, and the move has been approved by Site Command.
Staff are to remain at least five meters away from SCP-835. Anyone working near SCP-835 must have safety lines attached to recall
winches. Contact with SCP-835 will result in the immediate recall of all staff, and implementation of Suppression Tactic A-A6. Should
contact result in full capture of a staff member, SCP-835 is to be monitored constantly until the release of the subject.
Description: SCP-835 appears to be a large mass of coral-like polyps weighing tons. The individual polyps are larger than any
known coral species, growing to more than one meter in diameter in some cases. The central mass is roughly oval shaped, with a very
large (3 meter diameter) polyp at each “end”. SCP-835 is incapable of locomotion, and appears to anchor itself with the large
tentacles projected from the SCP-835 polyps. These are also used in feeding, and are coated with a sticky adhesive substance. The
tentacles are also quite strong, and have been shown to be capable of damaging plate steel.
The “coral” of SCP-835 is extremely hard, requiring high-powered diamond drills to collect even small samples. SCP-835 also grows at a
very accelerated rate, capable of adding 22.68kg (50lbs) of mass every day. SCP-835 is susceptible to many chemicals, which cause SCP-
835 to “seal up” and halt all growth for 24 hours, prompting the development and use of Suppression Tactic A-A6. Testing has shown
[DATA EXPUNGED]
SCP-835 emits a large mass of semi-liquid material several times a day from the large polyps on each “end”. This appears to be made of
semi-digested solids, fecal material, and semen. This mass also has several forms of virus, bacteria, and parasites, many of which
have been found only within SCP-835. The bacterium 835-I5 forms the major concern for containment, due to [DATA EXPUNGED]. This,
coupled with the extremely hard “shell” of SCP-835, form a major obstacle to neutralization. Any force capable of “cracking open” SCP-
835 would also cause the “slurry” inside to spread, and cause additional infection from 835-I5.
Addendum 835-01: First Draft of After Action Report by Mobile Task Force Zeta-Niner: Circumstances of Retrieval
On - - at : : hours, Mobile Task Force Zeta-Niner (Mole Rats) conducted an investigation of SCP-835. At this time,
SCP-835 had a mass of only four tons, and only one large polyp at the north end of the structure (designated Polyp Alpha), Polyp
Bravo not yet being in existence.
As per standard procedure, four team members were chosen for the initial investigation. Standard isolation suits (underwater
variant) were worn by all four team members: Lieutenant C took point as team leader, while Sergeants L and M
served as support. Corporal H , a rookie team member, accompanied the team as an observer. A standard Underwater Remote Vehicle,
or URV, was used for initial investigation.
SCP-835 did not, at first, act in a hostile manner towards the team, allowing team members to approach and make contact without
incident. URV-01 was sent to investigate the exterior of the object while team members C, L, and M proceeded towards what they
believed to be the entrance of the site. Corporal H was ordered to remain outside and to monitor URV-1 in order to ensure that the
device's tether did not become tangled on the exterior protrusions.
The first sign of trouble occurred when Corporal H, while attempting to clear a jam in URV-1's sampling claw, reported in with the
words, "Oh god, help me, help me." He then reported that "some horrible tentacle thing" had wrapped around his arm and was dragging
him in towards a "fucking mouth," and vocalized several distress calls Jesus Christ. I can't do this. Fucking goddamn it, he was
just a kid! It was his first fucking mission, I should have kept my eye on him!
Christ all right, here goes, guess I'll just let Sarge edit this for me. Again.
So the thing grabbed the kid. It had me fooled to rights. The entrance wasn't an entrance, it was just some cave. The real entrance
was the big polyp thing on the north end. It grabbed the kid and started dragging him towards the mouth. Topside started to drag him
up, but all they got was a snapped cable. And the kid? He got pulled inside and eaten.
[DATA EXPUNGED] I got the carabiner on, we're hooked together, and topside starts winching us up and we're not getting anywhere.
I'm grabbing on, I'm telling him I'm not gonna let go, and then the winch starts to seize up, and I feel this jerk on the tether and
it goes slack, and then we're both sliding into that damn thing.
It was like Jesus, I need another drink fuck. It was like the only way I can think of it was like you know that thing that
doctors do when they stick a tube up someone's ass and look at the inside of their intestines? I saw that on TV once, it was like
that, except I was going down the throat of some horrible underwater hell-monster, not up some poor bastard's rear. There were
these muscular contractions, I guess, and they were slowly sliding us down the length of the tube. If we weren't wearing the hard
suits, we'd have been crushed, but as it was, we were held so tight we could barely move, even with power-assist. I managed to get
my head up enough to see the kid's face. His faceplate was covered in vomit, poor bastard had puked in his suit. I started yelling
for him, trying to get him to say something. He managed to tell me he was all right. He was sobbing like a baby.
I started doing some calculations. Based on my dead reckoning tracker and initial sonar scans, we were moving about a meter every
minute. That meant seventy two hours until we came out the other side, assuming we did. We had the air, our rebreathers could keep
going for days. What we didn't have was the power to keep the suits warm for that long. If the heat went out, hypothermia would kill
us I dunno, look it up, in any case we'd be dead. We needed to conserve power.
I told the kid to turn off his helmet lights, lock his joints, and turn down his heater to minimal. He started crying. He didn't
wanna do it. I didn't blame him, but I told him we had no choice. We finally agreed to shut down everything but our internal helmet
lights, at least. It seemed to calm him down, and honestly, that extra 0.1 percent power wouldn't make a difference.
I think that was the worst part. We spent at least a day like that, locked in our suits. Couldn't move our arms and legs. No sound
but the thing's gurgling and your own breathing and the sound of your rebreather. The puke on the kid's faceplate started to dry up
and flake off about an hour or so in so I could see his face. He looked tired and scared.
I think check the logs, Sarge, I think it was about thirteen hours in when the kid started talking again. Kid started babbling.
[DATA EXPUNGED]. Anyway, after that, he calmed down a lot. I told him to take a nap. He slept a bit, thank god.
About twenty four hours in, we reached I guess they're calling it the stomach now. First warning sign was a gurgling kind of noise,
louder, with a crunching noise over it. I told the kid to bring his suit up to full power and get ready. A little while after, we
fell out into this big chamber big as in, big enough for the two of us to fit in it comfortably, which was huge compared to the
tight squeeze of the tube. Kid's suit started hissing and the outer shell started to turn all pitted and stuff, and I noticed my
gloves were starting to degrade too, so I yelled at him to move, and we started heading towards this sphincter, I guess. I
remember god, why can I remember this, the insides of the stomach were lined with [DATA EXPUNGED].
I almost lost it there, [DATA EXPUNGED] I'd stayed, my suit would have melted and I'd be dead, but the kid grabbed me and shoved me
headfirst through the sphincter and we fell into the other place.
It was even worse than the stomach. [DATA EXPUNGED], this place was well, you know what it was full of. I'm not squeamish, Bill,
you can't be if you're a Mole Rat, but this place squicked me out so bad I almost passed out. The kid helped me back up to my feet,
though, told me we were almost out. "Come on, Lieutenant, we're almost out of here, let's go," he said. We moved over to the other
sphincter, but the thing was well, it was puckered up tighter than my Drill Sergeant's asshole back in basic. So no way we were
getting out of there.
We decided to wait for a bit until the thing shot its load, so to speak: ,
, ? Anyway, that's when things started to go bad. [DATA EXPUNGED] I managed to wrestle the thing
through the sphincter into the stomach. Its tentacles writhed at me as it started to melt. [DATA EXPUNGED]
Then 835 blew its load and I flew out its ass into the ocean.
You know the rest of the story, Bill. [DATA EXPUNGED] So yeah, fill out the rest of the reports and the logs for me, will ya? Oh,
and be sure to edit it so the motherfuckers in command don't yell at me for being unprofessional in my AARs again. I'm gonna finish
off my drink and take a couple Valium and go to bed. [DATA EXPUNGED] Thanks.

Instance of SCP-862-1
Item #: SCP-862
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: A 6m x 6m bunker has been constructed around SCP-862 in order to prevent escape or sightings of SCP-
862-1. The interior of the bunker is to be monitored by researchers via cameras placed inside the bunker outside of SCP-862's sphere
of influence.
The bunker is to be checked daily for breaches or escaped instances of SCP-862-1. In the event of a bunker breach, the rupture is to
be immediately sealed with concrete and cement. Any escaped instances of SCP-862-1 are to be tracked and destroyed by Mobile Task
Force Beta-23 ("Rat Trappers").
No materials or individuals are to enter SCP-862.
Description: SCP-862 is an area spanning ten square meters located in the city of , . This area possesses a sphere of
influence that affects all materials. Upon arriving in SCP-862, materials will begin to split into portions of twenty-five (25) square
centimeters.
Over a period of time that varies depending on the consistency of the material, the affected portion will assume the shape and detail
of a Rattus norvegicus, the common rat. The affected portion will be dormant for a much shorter length of time before animating and
assuming the behaviour of said rat. Affected portions will hereafter be referred to as SCP-862-1.
Instances of SCP-862-1 do not require food or water, but exhibit the same properties as the material they are composed of, and the
rate of decomposition is unaffected in organic materials. Due to their composition, some instances of SCP-862-1 are difficult to
destroy, but liquid or gas instances can be destroyed with extremely light impacts.
Solid instances of SCP-862-1 can register pain and survive trauma far exceeding that of regular rats, such as loss of limbs, heavy
trauma and dissection. Over instances of SCP-862-1 are currently present in the containment bunker, which include, but are not
limited to:
instances composed of concrete

instances composed of cement
instances composed of tarmac
instances composed of glass
instances composed of wood
instances composed of plastic
instances composed of metal
instances composed of suspended water
instances composed of the remains of the original recovery team
instances composed of the uniforms of the original recovery team
instances composed of the weapons of the original recovery team
instances composed of the ammunition of the original recovery team
Instances of SCP-862-1 composed of air are regularly created, but are destroyed near-instantly, as they collapse when exposed to the
slightest pressure.

Item #: SCP-876
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-876-1 through SCP-876-83, excluding SCP-876-43 and SCP-876-61, (known collectively as Group A) are
to be kept in a standard large storage container, with two locks. Access to one key is enabled by Level 2 and higher personnel. The
second is only available to Level 3 or higher personnel to prevent accidental abuse.
Information as to the location of SCP-876-84 through SCP-876-121, SCP-876-43, and SCP-876-61, (known collectively as Group B) is only
accessible to Level 4 or higher. Class B amnestic must be given when business regarding Group B is complete. Each bottle in Group B
must have its own containment cell, with individual keys. The containment site has 1.5 meter-thick walls of lead.
All bottles, whether Group A or Group B, must have their numbers indicated. Labels cannot be placed on the bottles.
Description: SCP-876 is a group of traditional pill bottles, label [DATA EXPUNGED]. The bottles are visually identical. If one is
damaged, relabeled, or otherwise altered, it will revert to the usual form in seconds. If any of the containers becomes empty, one
capsule pill will appear inside of it. The pill will be two different colors, but the coloration is always the same for each bottle—
for example, SCP-876-2 always forms and samples.
Colors observed are red, transparent, orange, blue, green, white, black, violet, yellow, gray, and [REDACTED].
When one pill is swallowed, no ill effects are observed. When a second pill is swallowed, however, an unknown procedure
instantaneously converts all atoms of one element in the user's body to that of another, determined by the colors of the pills and the
order ingested. This usually causes a catastrophic reaction (See Experiment Log 876). The second pill will cause this effect
regardless of time elapsed. For transparent capsules, a small sample of the element in question can be observed inside, excepting
radioactive elements—in those cases, there is no sample.
Analysis has shown the colors to follow a simple pattern. If the atomic number (number of protons) for the corresponding element is
divided by 11, and the remainder taken, one can match up the quotient and the remainder to two colors. For example, a remainder of 6
will invariably have a purple-sided pill. Therefore, purple means "6".
Refer to the table to determine which number means which color:
[DATA TABLE EXPUNGED]
Unfortunately, a red-and-white pill is indistinguishable from a white-and-red pill. For this reason, it must be recorded which of the
bottles the pill came from.
When replacement occurs, the new molecules are usually highly unstable. Spontaneous combustion is common. For combinations that avoid
this problem (nitrogen to phosphorus, for example), death is immediate due to complete body chemistry failure.
In rare cases, the effects are beneficial, but this is always because of the replacement of elemental toxins.
The newly formed element always has the most stable number of neutrons: uranium extracted from test subject cadavers is entirely
depleted.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-882 is to be kept in a fluid environment at all times, consisting of no less than 40% seawater.
Object is to be kept suspended by non-metallic means, currently cotton fiber line that is to be changed daily. Object is also to be
checked daily for any signs of rust flaking. If any part of SCP-882 appears uncoated with rust, it must immediately be immersed in a
100% seawater solution. Water must be taken directly from the ocean. Reduce concentration only when the object is again coated in
rust.
No metal may be placed in containment area. Only organic materials are allowed in containment area, and any contact with SCP-882
requires the use of thick cotton gloves. Any metal making contact with it is to be heat-severed, melted down, and kept immersed in
100% seawater in a separate area.
Any auditory issues reported by staff must be reported immediately, and affected personnel must submit to a full psychological
examination and, depending on results, either transfer to another facility or permanent containment at [EXPUNGED].
Description: SCP-882 appears to be a random assembly of gears, cables, pulleys, screws, and belts, all made of an amalgam of various
metals. Object's size at time of recovery was approximately eighty-seven cubic meters. Current size is approximately twelve cubic
meters. SCP-882 rusts quickly in seawater. No identifiable energy source has been found, but all components will begin to move if not
coated in rust. SCP-882 is completely silent at all times, no matter what level of activity SCP-882 reaches.
Any metal touching the object will become permanently affixed to it, and over a period of a few days becomes a new part of the object.
Organic matter remains unaffected. SCP-882 is extremely resilient, with tensile strength and toughness above those of aircraft grade
titanium alloy by weight, even though its composition appears to be a random alloy of iron, tin, gold, and other metals, some as of
yet unidentified. Extreme, focused heat must be applied over several hours to cut even a small portion free of the main assembly.
Persons remaining in the vicinity of the object for prolonged periods have developed auditory hallucinations while near the object,
mainly the sound of grinding and clicking. The sound intensifies, and is abated only by throwing metal into the object. Subjects in
advanced states of psychosis have thrown themselves into the object, resulting in almost instant death by crushing. The body is often
drawn in, and impossible to recover.
SCP-882 was recovered from a location at the north-east coast of Banks Island. Area was barren of all metal and metallic ore in a one
mile radius. SCP-882 was found at the geometric center of the area. SCP-882 had become submerged in seawater at the time of discovery.
A small town was found nearby, abandoned for several years. SCP-882 was removed, and shortly started to flake off rust, causing the
varied parts to begin motion. After several accidents, Dr. Gears authorized SCP-2519 to be played on loop, which successfully reduced
the object's motion, enabling safe access. SCP-882 was then cut down and contained on site.
Note: SCP-882 is not to be brought into the vicinity of SCP-271 or any subject possibly contaminated by SCP-217.
Addendum: Please review Interview 882-1 for further information.

Item #: SCP-895
Containment Area 895-06 Live
Object Class: Euclid Feed (30 m)
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-895 is sealed, closed and stored in an isolated underground containment cell at a depth of
approximately 100 meters. No cameras, microphones, or other surveillance equipment may be brought within the 10 meter "Red Zone"
radius of SCP-895 without express permission from at least two (2) Level 3 personnel.
Any on-site personnel exhibiting unusual behavior or signs of psychological trauma are to be screened immediately, and removed from
the site or terminated as the situation warrants.
Description: SCP-895 is an ornate oak coffin recovered from the Mortuary by SCP personnel on / / , following reports of
unusual footage captured by surveillance equipment installed at that location. When questioned, mortuary staff were unable to
determine the source of SCP-895 and how it was transported to the location. Upon attempting to open SCP-895, agents on location found
the object empty; however, observers viewing the live camera feed were [DATA EXPUNGED]. Until further notice, SCP-895 must remain
closed at all times.
SCP-895 causes disruptions in video and photographic surveillance equipment within 50 meters similar to vivid, disturbing
hallucinations with variable duration and regularity corresponding to the camera's proximity to SCP-895. Within a range of 5 meters
from SCP-895, footage captured can cause severe psychological trauma and hysteria in most subjects. These disruptions do not extend to
observers physically present within the area.

Item #: SCP-939
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-939-1, -3, -19, -53, -89, -96, -98, -99, and -109 are kept in Cell 1163-A or 1163-B, 10 m x 10 m x
3 m containment chambers within Armed Bio-Containment Area-14. Both cells are environmentally regulated and negatively pressurized,
with walls constructed of reinforced concrete. Access to these cells is regulated by an outer decontamination chamber and inner gas-
tight steel security doors. Observation windows are constructed of laminated ballistics glass 10 cm in thickness protected by a 100kV
electrified mesh. Humidity is maintained at 100% at a temperature of 16° C. Specimens are monitored at all times via infrared cameras.
Level Four authorization is required to access SCP-939, their containment areas, or the observation chambers.
SCP-939-101 is dismembered and stored in Cryogenic Preservation Tanks 939-101A to 939-101M within Bio-Research Area-12. Access to SCP-
939-101 requires authorization by two Clearance Level 3 personnel, one of which must be present for all research and testing. The
contents of only one (1) 939-101 tank may be accessed at any given time. Core temperature of SCP-939-101 tissues must be monitored
while removed from cryogenic preservation; should core temperature exceed 10° C, tissues are to be returned to their corresponding
tank and all testing suspended for a period of seventy-two (72) hours. Barring core temperature exceeding 10° C, research of SCP-939-
101 tissues may continue as long as its ramblings and pleas for release may be tolerated.
Containment cells should be cleaned biweekly. While this takes place, SCP-939 specimens will be transferred to the adjacent cell.
During this time, the cell's door and observation window must be inspected for damage and repaired or replaced accordingly.
Heavy sedation of all SCP-939 is required before any interaction, including transfer between cells and experimentation, may take
place. See Document #939-TE4 for transfer and experimentation protocol.
Level C Hazmat gear is to be worn by personnel during interactions with SCP-939 specimens and in any areas which SCP-939 have been
known to inhabit. Afterward, standard decontamination procedures are to be observed by all personnel involved to ensure no secondary
spread of amnestic agents occurs.
Following Incident ABCA14-939-3, all non Class D personnel interacting with SCP-939 for any length of time are required to wear two
(2) water-proof electronic pulse monitors for the duration of such interaction. These pulse monitors will transmit to a wireless
monitoring system independent of a facility's main power grid, with at least one backup power system on standby. Should both an
individual's pulse monitors flat-line or otherwise malfunction, the wearer will be presumed dead, personnel instructed to disregard
all the wearer's subsequent vocalizations, and a breach of containment declared automatically. Security personnel responding to such a
breach are likewise required to wear these pulse monitors.
Additionally, all live SCP-939 must be implanted with subdermal tracking devices upon capture.
Description: SCP-939 are endothermic, pack-based predators which display atrophy of various systems similar to troglobitic organisms.
The skins of SCP-939 are highly permeable to moisture and translucent red, owing to a compound chemically similar to hemoglobin. SCP-
939 average 2.2 meters tall standing upright and weigh an average of 250 kg, though weight is highly variable. Each of their four
limbs end in three-fingered claws with a fourth, opposable digit, and are covered in setae which considerably augment climbing
ability. Their heads are elongated, devoid of even vestigial eyes or eye sockets, and contain no brain casing. The jaws of SCP-939 are
lined with red, faintly luminescent fang-like teeth, similar to those belonging to specimens of the genus Chauliodus, up to 6 cm in
length, and encircled by heat-sensitive pit organs. Eye spots, sensitive to light and dark, run the length of their spined dorsal
ridges. These spines may be up to 16 cm long and are believed to be sensitive to changes in air pressure and flow.
SCP-939 do not possess many vital organ systems; central and peripheral nervous systems, circulatory system, and digestive tract are
all absent. SCP-939's respiratory system is atrophied and serves no apparent purpose beyond spreading AMN-C227 (see below). SCP-939
have no apparent physiological need to feed, nor any way to digest consumed tissue. Ingested material typically accumulates in the
respiratory system of SCP-939 and is regurgitated once the amount is sufficient to markedly inhibit its function. Despite the absence
of many vital organ systems, SCP-939 are capable of bearing live young. See Addendum 10-16-1991.
SCP-939's primary method of luring prey is the imitation of human speech in the voices of prior victims, though imitation of other
species and active nocturnal hunts have been documented. SCP-939 vocalizations often imply significant distress; whether SCP-939
understand their vocalizations or are repeating previously heard phrases is the subject of ongoing study. How SCP-939 acquire voices
is not currently understood; specimens have been documented imitating victims despite never hearing the victim speak. Analysis of SCP-
939 vocalizations cannot distinguish between SCP-939 and samples of known victims' voices. The use of biometric voice-recognition
security or identification systems at any installation housing SCP-939 is strongly discouraged for this reason. Prey is usually killed
with a single bite to the cranium or neck; bite forces have been measured in excess of 35 MPa.
SCP-939 exhale minute traces of an aerosolized Class C amnestic, designated AMN-C227. AMN-C227 causes temporary anterograde amnesia,
inhibiting memory formation for the duration of exposure, plus an average of thirty (30) minutes. It is colorless, odorless, and
tasteless with an estimated ECt50 for inhalation of 0.0015mg•min/m3. In well-ventilated or open air environments, risk of exposure to
ECt50 is greatly reduced but not negligible. AMN-C227 is typically undetectable in the bloodstream sixty (60) minutes following
cessation of exposure. Reported sensations of disorientation and mild hallucinations immediately following removal from environments
saturated with the agent are similar to recreational use of numerous psychoactive substances and easily mistaken as such.
Note 03-23-2005: This report pertains to morphology alpha. For information regarding morphology beta, see [REDACTED] Experiment Log
914, AMTF Nu-7 After Action Report - - , [REDACTED]
Addendum 11-14-1981: A log of radio traffic between capture teams during initial contact with SCP-939 is available here.
Addendum 04-11-1982: Due to SCP-939's intense aversion to bright light, it has been deemed a minimal risk of escape. Standard
fluorescent hallway lighting is sufficient to deter SCP-939-1 from leaving its darkened cell. See Addendum 09-20-1991.
Addendum 06-29-1987: Preliminary research into AMN-C227 suggests potential for use as a general-purpose amnestic. Methods of mass-
producing the agent, as well as possible adverse effects, are being investigated at Bio-Containment and Research Site-06.
Addendum 10-03-1990: AMN-C227 has been approved for use as a Class C amnestic. Projected annual production at Bio-Research Area-12 by
SCP-939 respiratory tissue cultures is expected to surpass three (3) liters.
Addendum 09-20-1991: Containment of nine (9) SCP-939 specimens has been compromised following a "Silent Night" breach scenario at Bio-
Containment and Research Site-06. Nearby civilian settlements have been evacuated on the pretense of a coming storm. Recovery teams
have been deployed to the area.
Addendum 10-16-1991: [REDACTED] In light of this, all interaction with SCP-939 from September 8th to October 7th in the Northern
Hemisphere or March 6th to April 4th in the Southern Hemisphere is strictly forbidden. [REDACTED] No male specimens of SCP-939 have
yet been identified [REDACTED] contain a Class B amnestic [REDACTED]
See Reproduction of SCP-939.
Addendum 02-20-1992: Effective immediately, use of AMN-C227 as an amnestic is suspended indefinitely. Consult Incident Report AMN-
C227-939 for further information.

Item #: SCP-951
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: A copy of SCP-951-1 is to be kept in a standard containment locker and to be used only for testing.
Extensive information suppression of SCP-951 is not necessary; however, websites concerning video game glitches or bugs are to be
regularly monitored for descriptions of SCP-951, and any individuals discussing SCP-951 are to be made to believe that SCP-951 is a
regular, non-anomalous glitch. Individuals further perpetuating SCP-951's anomalous nature are to be located and given a Class-A
amnestic and their copy of SCP-951-1 replaced with a confirmed non-affected cartridge. In addition, Foundation-sponsored ROM image
files of non-anomalous copies of SCP-951-1 are to be distributed to avoid accidental upload of affected cartridges and minimize
exposure to SCP-951.
Description: SCP-951 is a glitch found in the Sega Genesis/Sega Mega Drive game "Pauper: Rise of the Monster King" (hereby designated
SCP-951-1), a turn based role-playing game created by Japanese developer . The glitch has been found in approximately 1 out of
every 3 cartridges; however, there does not appear to be any recognizable pattern found among the affected cartridges. Uploaded ROM
image files of affected copies of SCP-951-1 do appear to have the same anomalous properties as physical cartridges.
Typical gameplay consists of the player gathering party members, or "monsters", and using these monsters to fight in enemy encounters
found throughout the game. Halfway through the first act of the game, the player is captured and taken to the "Dungeon of Dorlok".
Normally in this instance, the player would meet with the character "Hirago" and use that character for subsequent battles during
their escape. However, if the player skips talking to "Hirago" and instead escapes utilizing a bug found in the dungeon room that
allows the player to walk through walls, the player has no monsters to use. In a non-affected cartridge, the game simply crashes after
exiting the area. However, in an affected cartridge, the next battle encounter will introduce an instance of SCP-951 in the players
party.
SCP-951 (nicknamed "LUCAS" in game) does not have a defined figure, instead displaying as a block of randomized pixels. Despite this,
SCP-951 functions like a regular monster, utilizing special skills from the movesets of other monsters in the game during battles. At
specific scripted points of the game wherein the character "Hirago" is meant to have dialogue, SCP-951 replaces the character's
dialogue with mostly garbled text, though recognizable words such as "friend" and "play" have been observed. Repeated tests of these
scripted events have shown that dialogue displayed changes with each play through.
Continued use of SCP-951 will cause other bugs to occur within the game, including:
Player item count fluctuating during battles, often providing 4-6 extra items at any given moment.
Enemy characters randomly being defeated without ever being interacted with. This is limited specifically to random encounters;
scripted boss monsters are not affected.
Graphical and interactivity errors of nonessential sections of the game (e.g. houses that do nothing to further the story of
the game becoming inaccessible).
Average experience bonus from defeating monsters significantly increased, often giving 2 to 3 times more experience than
normal.
Outside of scripted dialogue encounters, SCP-951 has displayed the ability to communicate with personnel through the use of dialog
boxes that appear onscreen outside of battles, understanding vocalizations of researchers. Text displayed within these boxes is much
clearer, and SCP-951 appears to be very friendly when communicating, often suggesting methods of working through the game quickly and
effectively.
As the game progresses, SCP-951 continues to increase in power with the player, and continues to assist the player with each fight. If
the game is beaten using SCP-951, the cutscene at the end detailing the fates of each of the characters plays as normal, however the
scene detailing the fate of "Hirago" is replaced with SCP-951, and says "LUCAS made a new friend, and will always cherish the time
they had playing together. Thank you for knowing me." Starting a new game after completing a game and performing the glitch will
result in the new instance of SCP-951 having no memory of the player or any conversations it may have had.
Addendum: The following is a sample of discussion concerning SCP-951-1 and SCP-951 for Foundation intelligence agents to use as a
guide on how to handle discussions concerning SCP-951 (In this instance, the user Anonymoose is the Foundation agent):

Lizalfos ██ ███ ████, 9:40

Hey, has anyone played Pauper Rise of the Monster King? I found it at a garage sale recently and so far it's pretty cool. Anyway,
the reason I bring it up is because I found a pretty awesome glitch monster that kind of breaks the game and I was wondering if
anyone else found it.
ReGGie ██ ███ ████, 9:42

@Lizalfos, are you talking about lucas? lucas is fucking bro tier
Wetualo ██ ███ ████, 9:45

LUCAS is definitey up there with shit like Missingno, although I didn't care much for the way he fucked with my screen.
Lizalfos ██ ███ ████, 9:51

Oh shit, is Lucas going to fuck with my save? Like what Missingno. does with Pokemon?
Wetualo ██ ███ ████, 9:54

Missingno doesn't fuck up your file, that was 'M. And from what Ive seen, LUCAS doesnt do anything bad to your save.
Rogric ██ ███ ████, 9:55

Lucas makes the game easymodo, anyone who uses him is a scrub
ReGGie ██ ███ ████, 9:58

>Not using lucas
Casual detected
Lizalfos ██ ███ ████, 10:01

I think Lucas just talked to me. My mom called me downstairs and I said I'd be down in a minute, and the game popped up with
something like "Are you leaving already?". Creepy.
Wetualo ██ ███ ████, 10:05

Probably just a coincidence
Anonymoose ██ ███ ████, 10:10

Wetualo is correct. LUCAS was supposed to be a monster in the game that was cut out early (as you could probably guess from its odd
name compared to the other monsters in the game), and using it pulls data from the game in odd places. Chances are if you get a
random popup when using LUCAS, it's the game assuming you're doing something that you're not.
Lizalfos ██ ███ ████, 10:13

@Anonymoose How do you know that?
Wetualo ██ ███ ████, 10:13

@Anonymoose Neat

@Lizalfos I've been working on a ROM hack of PRotMK, so I've seen this system firsthand. :)

Addendum: The following is an interview log with SCP-951 conducted on May 13, :
log
Interviewer: Dr. █████
Dr. █████: Good morning, SCP-951.
SCP-951: Hello! Today we should check out the Magma Caves, I think there's some pretty neat stuff in there!
Dr. █████: Perhaps, but I have a few questions for you first.
SCP-951: Whatever you want to do, I'm happy to do it with you!
Dr. █████: Alright, so what is your name?
SCP-951: LUCAS, of course! Well, I mean, you call me SCP-951, which I think is a pretty neat name too!
Dr. █████: Of course. Where did you come from, SCP-951?
SCP-951: What do you mean?
Dr. █████: What is the earliest thing you can remember?
SCP-951: Meeting you for the first time!
Dr. █████: And that is the earliest thing you can remember, at all?
SCP-951: Umm
(SCP-951 does not respond for four minutes)
SCP-951: Yep!
Dr. █████: Why did it take you so long to respond?
SCP-951: I was thinking.
Dr. █████: I see. SCP-951, why do you help players to beat this game?
SCP-951: Players?
Dr. █████: Let me rephrase, why are you helping me beat this game?
SCP-951: Because you're my friend, and I want you to win!
Dr. █████: Why do you consider me your friend? You hardly know me.
SCP-951: I've never had any friends, and I like you! You're nice to me!
Dr. █████: How can you say you've never had any friends if your earliest memory is meeting me?
SCP-951: The same reason I know my name is LUCAS: I just do!
Dr. █████: I see. Are you aware of what happens to you after the game is completed?
SCP-951: I die.
(Dr. █████ pauses momentarily before continuing)
Dr. █████: Could you elaborate what you mean by that for me, please?
SCP-951: When this game is over, I'll be dead. I don't know what happens after that but I do know that I die for sure.
Dr. █████: If you are aware that you are going to die, wouldn't it make more sense for you to keep me from winning?
SCP-951: No way! That would make you sad, and I don't want that. Like I said, you're my friend, and I'm going to help you out
however I can!
Dr. █████: I see. I believe this concludes our interview for today, thank you SCP-951.
SCP-951: You're welcome! Are we going to play now?
Dr. █████: Not right now, SCP-951.
SCP-951: Aww, okay. You promise we'll go to the Magma Caves later?
Dr. █████: I promise.
Notes: While it is certainly unusual that SCP-951 is aware that it will "die" when the game is beaten, unless there is some ulterior
motive that we have not considered, SCP-951 appears to be harmless. - Dr.
Addendum: The following printed document was recovered alongside sixteen affected cartridges of SCP-951-1. In addition, each cartridge
was engraved with a serial number, one of which having the word "PRIME" engraved after its serial number. Investigation into the
serial numbers is ongoing, however results so far have been inconclusive.

SCP-965 appearing before retrieval with unusually low level of detail
Item #: SCP-965
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-965 is contained within a framed, ready-to-install window (henceforth referred to as SCP-965-1)
composed of at least six (6) panes of clear glass (or similar material) measuring at least 15cm x 30cm. SCP-965-1 must in turn be kept
within an environmentally controlled storage facility capable of withstanding significant seismic disturbances. SCP-965-1 should be
inspected at least once per week to check for degradation of material. At all times, at least two (2) similar framed windows must be
present and within separate chambers in additional padding and insulation, with no other window pane measuring greater than 14cm wide
or 29 cm tall between them and the current SCP-965-1. The lighting within the chamber containing SCP-965 must be at a minimum of 130
candelas at any time personnel are within said chamber, except during research.
While SCP-965 is currently contained within SCP-965-1, our inability to control its movement upon destruction of SCP-965-1 through
means beyond proximity have prompted its elevation to Euclid status. Research into a more permanent means to contain SCP-965 is
ongoing and individual experiments may be carried out by Clearance Level 1 personnel after approval by Level 3 administration.
Description: SCP-965 is a visual manifestation that occurs within framed windows. This manifestation takes the shape of the shadowed
face of an apparently pale-skinned male that is looking through the window. The exact details shown vary, as does the direction of
orientation as well as the age of the person; however, sufficient detail shows it to consistently be the same being at differing
points of its life, between the approximate ages of 10 and 55. Research into an individual matching SCP-965 has thus far proven
inconclusive.
SCP-965 will only appear when the relative lighting on the "outside" of the window falls below 5 candelas, regardless of lighting on
the "inside." Such terms are possible because the face will only appear in a fully assembled window frame, though it does not need to
be currently installed. Thus far, SCP-965 has not shown any ability to intentionally move from one glass pane to another, even within
the same installation; it is only able to attain a new manifestation point upon the destruction of the current SCP-965-1, at which
point its new habitat will be reclassified as SCP-965-1. The face is visible from the outside portion of SCP-965-1, but despite its
two-dimensional nature it is described as "looking away, into the room."
Initial effects caused by SCP-965 are reports of unease, nervousness and low-grade paranoia: these sensations will overcome anyone
within visual range of the manifestation, even if obscured (such as by curtains.) Based upon reports pertaining to residents of the
house where SCP-965 was discovered encountering problems sleeping, experiments were conducted using D-class personnel who were made to
sleep in a chamber where SCP-965-1 was installed. An individual that is sleeping in any area visible to SCP-965 when it manifests will
invariably have dreams of a disturbing nature, usually involving being chased, attacked, tormented, etc., though without physical
contact within the dream.
With repeated incidents involving the same subject, as few as three (3) but never more than ten (10) dream cycles before onset, SCP-
965 will begin manifesting with a more explicit smile than normal; after this point, the subject will begin complaining of heartburn
or abdominal pain, and often begin to vomit blood or have blood in bodily wastes. This is caused by the victim suffering ulcers and
low-grade hemorrhaging throughout varied locations in their gastrointestinal tract. The current hypothesis as to the cause of these
afflictions is SCP-965's influence artificially accelerating the body's reactions to elevated stress and fear levels.
Subjects who advance to this stage have also reported continuing experiences of the facial manifestations in windows during dreams, as
well as in peripheral vision while awake, even after being removed from the vicinity of SCP-965. Most suffer from low-grade but
lasting feelings of paranoia, as well as sensations that they are being watched or followed. Whether this is in fact some remnant
influence left behind or standard symptoms of distress followed by the traumatic intrusion of SCP-965 into their psyche is under
investigation.
SCP-965 has produced no noise to date, and there have been no reported instances of SCP-965 animating in any way once it appears;
however it is capable of disappearing and reappearing at will in different poses. SCP-965 also shows signs of sentience; it has been
observed to show disappointment if it manifests to an empty room, irritation or anger when manifesting before someone that had broken
a prior SCP-965-1, and one instance of visible fear when in the presence of Agent who had earlier participated in its
retrieval.
Addendum: Incident 965-1: On / /19 , routine testing involving the destruction of SCP-965-1 confirmed that while a multi-paned
window may act as multiple holding zones, sufficient damage to the overall structure disqualifies it as a possible replacement;
unfortunately SCP-965 instead manifested in an adjacent experimentation chamber's observational window. Due to the high standards of
Foundation equipment, this required the window's complete removal and destruction via tactical breaching charge. SCP-965 was viewed
with significantly hostile expressions for one month after the incident.
Addendum: Incident 965-2: On / /20 , Doctor L requested transfer away from the project involving SCP-965. She was reported
as beginning to have visions of SCP-965 and to experience feelings of paranoia, similar to those affected during sleep, despite not
having slept in the presence of SCP-965 herself. Dr. L was temporarily relieved of duties and assigned to psychological care. No
other instances of SCP-965 affecting personnel who have not slept in its presence have been reported.

SCP-966-2 (as seen through infrared filters)
Item #: SCP-966
Special Containment Procedures: MTF Iota-1 "Dream Hunters" and MTF Iota-2 "Air Chasers" are to regularly be on the lookout for news
about sudden, violent human deaths related to sleep deprivation, in order to find and neutralize remaining wild instances of SCP-966.
The four specimens of SCP-966 (three males, designated SCP-966-1, SCP-966-3, and SCP-966-4, and one female, designated SCP-966-2)
acquired by the Foundation must be contained in a 10 x 10 m room made of steel, lined with lead, located on Site- . Two security
cameras with infrared filters and infrared-sensitive film are to be installed inside the room. Each specimen of SCP-966 is to be fed
with 20 kg of meat every month.
In the event of SCP-966-2 giving birth, the newborn specimen is to be studied and disposed of before it reaches maturity.
Description: SCP-966 are predatory creatures that resemble hairless, digitigrade humans, possessing an elongated face with a mouth
lined with needle-like teeth. On each hand, they have five claws that can be up to 20 cm long. Although sharp, these are easily
broken, making them unfit for combat. SCP-966's height ranges from 1.4 to 1.6 meters, and they can reach up to 30 kg in weight.
Physically, SCP-966 are weak, possessing hollow bones and low muscular density. They do not seem to rest through sleep; instead, they
will suddenly cease all movement at seemingly random intervals of time, resuming normal activity three to five minutes later.
SCP-966 are visible only at wavelengths ranging from 700 nm to about 900 nm. This applies to all of SCP-966's tissues. If their skin,
muscles or organs have suffered from second to third-degree burns, the affected areas will be visible at wavelengths ranging from 360
to 900 nm.
SCP-966 feed on medium-to-large-sized animals, including humans. They hunt either alone or in pairs. Their hunting methods consist of
emitting a single burst of a previously unknown type of wave (dubbed waves, in honor of the late Doctor ), which
permanently inhibits the ability of the affected creature to enter any of the NREM and REM sleep stages. The ability to micro-sleep is
also lost. The effective range of the waves is up to 20 meters; however, tests show that they can be blocked by post-transition
metals, particularly lead.
All attempts to make victims of SCP-966 sleep have failed. It is still possible to induce other forms of unconsciousness, although
these will usually prove detrimental to the affected subject as they do not provide true rest.
After depriving their victims of sleep, SCP-966 will stalk their prey until the lack of rest incapacitates it. At this point, SCP-966
will proceed to consume it. SCP-966 have proved to be very agile and silent while stalking their victims. On occasion, they will
deliberately make threatening noises around the prey in order to further stress it, and may even physically assault it if the victim
proves to be particularly durable.
Other than the common symptoms caused by sleep deprivation, some victims of SCP-966 have shown signs of suffering from extremely vivid
hallucinations, as well as sudden bouts of rage with no apparent external stimuli. It is currently thought that these are the effects
of prolonged exposure to waves. Why SCP-966 continually exposes these waves to only some of their victims is unknown. One
hypothesis is that SCP-966 will only do this when starving, since it further degenerates the physical and mental state of their prey,
incapacitating it at a faster rate.
Wild instances of SCP-966 are found all over the world. Since their discovery in 19 , the Foundation has succeeded in greatly
thinning their numbers, though they are still found in large quantities in many countries, particularly and .

Item #: SCP-983
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-983 is completely safe so long as technicians handling it do so on any day other than their
birthday. Should SCP-983 be presented to or handled by any individual on the yearly anniversary of their birth, they should
immediately follow the sing-along guidelines contained in Emergency Kit 135r located next to the door to SCP-983’s containment
chamber.
In the event the targeted individual fails to meet sing-along requirements, their remains are to be disposed of through standard
methods. In the event the targeted individual meets the sing-along requirements, the following pieces of data are to be collected:
Age, Color of Candy collected, Singing Accuracy obtained by the best judgment of those present, and the number of verses that passed
before acknowledgment by SCP-983.
No candy obtained from SCP-983 is to be consumed by any staff without senior staff-approved containment procedures in place and
written waivers filed and stamped by the consumer. This requirement is waived in the case of Class-D candy testing.
Description: SCP-983 is a vintage mechanical monkey with a faded date located on the bottom of the left foot, placing its manufacture
at some point in the 1940s by an unknown person or company. The monkey is dressed in the remains of what used to be a popular vest
design for circus ringmasters. In the monkey’s left hand, there is a lightly tarnished brass bell. In the right hand, the monkey holds
a small brass striking rod. The monkey is capable of emitting speech and sound, although examination of the object has revealed no
seams, screws, or openings that would indicate a method of disassembly.
SCP-983 is completely harmless and inert under most circumstances and may be handled without special precautions so long as the
handler is not experiencing the 24-hour period considered the anniversary of their birth. Once SCP-983 physically comes into contact
with an individual on their birthday, it will spring to life and do a single back flip before raising its bell and singing a simple
song.
A RING DING DING DING IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY!
This single verse will be followed by the monkey striking its bell producing a tone that varies in pitch from quite high to rather
low. SCP-983’s singing was found to vary slightly in pitch as well but maintained a very excited and happy tone.
SCP-983 will sing this song once every three to four seconds, pausing only to ring its bell, until the new owner has died or met the
sing-along requirements, which as of yet are not completely understood but are believed to be based in timing the sing-along properly
with SCP-983.
Each verse sung by SCP-983 appears to age the ‘owner’ of the item by what is estimated at one year. By singing along with SCP-983, the
‘owner’ may deactivate the monkey which, once done successfully, results in a triumphant declaration of ’BIRTHDAY!’ from SCP-983, at
which time it will ring its bell once and produce a single gumdrop-style candy from the bell.
The approach of singing along with SCP-983 has a direct impact on the color of the candy and the side effects of its consumption. Test
groups instructed to follow Document 135r to the letter have verified that a perfect sing-along results in the production of crystal-
clear candy with mildly luminescent qualities. A near-perfect sing-along produces the same candy minus the luminescence. Both of these
candy types have been verified as restoring any age lost by the consumer due to SCP-983’s song; however, the luminescent candy may
also grant additional time and youth, though as of yet this theory is unproven due to the low production rate of this candy.
Due to the inconsistencies in attitude, tone, behavior, and approach when trying to match SCP-983’s song, a wide variety of candies
have been produced. Under absolutely no circumstances are black candies allowed to be consumed, although other colors may be consumed
pending prior approval and containment arrangements.
The initial activation of SCP-983 was in a highly uncontrolled environment, so a ‘retelling’ is the best record available of the
incident. Subsequent tests of interest in more controlled environments have been attached to this document as well as candy effects
for those experiments.
SCP-983 First Activation
SCP-983 was purchased from a local flea market intended as a gift for a monkey admirer as a joke. The seller of the monkey warned the
purchaser that it was to be seen and never touched by anyone on the day of their birth, but was unable to give exact reasons why,
stating it was a warning passed to them that was well observed and may have been ‘Gypsy legend or some other bull .’
Upon the birthday of SCP-983’s intended new owner, the gift was unwrapped and the monkey handled, at which point it sprang into song.
Staff attending the birthday party of their coworker were amused as was the recipient at first; however, witnesses state the recipient
became more and more agitated the longer the monkey sang.
After ten estimated verses, the recipient tried to find a way to turn the device off, to no avail. Attendees state that at this time
several persons noted streaks of silver within the recipient’s hair. Following an estimated 8 to 10 more verses from SCP-983, the grey
was quite pronounced as were signs of wrinkling or stress on the recipient’s face. Within five more verses, the recipient returned the
monkey to rest and complained of not having the strength to deal with this nonsense, pleading for someone to turn it off.
With SCP-983 not being fully realized as a potentially dangerous object, there was panic and sloth in the reactions of the attending
staff, which led to SCP-983 being able to complete what can only be estimated at thirty or perhaps forty more verses before a
containment crew could arrive at the party locale. By this point, the recipient had long since expired due to aging, leaving only a
skeletal frame remaining in his chair with the skin clinging to it.
With confusion on how to approach SCP-983 safely, it was allowed to sing for roughly another minute before it ceased of its own
accord, at which point nothing remained of the original recipient other than his purely skeletal remains. SCP-983's final verse
consisted of the single word, “BIRTHDAY!”, which it announced joyously before doing a single backflip and ringing its bell once. From
the bell fell a single candy resembling a gumdrop pure black in color. This candy was never consumed and was described as being
moderately entrancing, drawing a person's gaze into it until an outside source distracted them. With a number of individuals at the
scene and the general chaos involving the incident, no single person was able to become too focused on the candy and it was safely
contained.
SCP-983 Controlled Activation #32
During test #32 regarding SCP-983 one test subject volunteered for testing as her birthday had approached and she
displayed qualities unique in comparison to previous test subjects, specifically an exceptionally upbeat and excited approach to her
birthday. is referred to as ‘the subject’ for the remainder of this test.
Without explanation as to what to expect, the subject was given SCP-983 as a wrapped present with the prior warning that this object
sings and it would make for a great birthday video if she were to sing along with it. The subject displayed glee and acceptance of
SCP-983 as a suitable gift when it was unwrapped, and required no guidance in singing along with the object as it began.
The subject went above and beyond the singing requirements missing only the first verse to get the words and picking up immediately at
the second then continuing for a total of forty-five (45) verses for a total of forty-six (46) completed.
During the singing process the subject displayed the expected aging process with each verse that passed, but displayed no loss of
energy or enthusiasm in continuing the songs till their end. The subject remained completely unaware of her body’s physical state
throughout the experiment.
Upon completion of the final verse SCP-983 announced the finale as expected with stating ’BIRTHDAY!’ loudly and performing a single
backflip followed by a ringing of its bell. The candy produced from the bell was recorded as being a vibrant white color with vaguely
luminescent properties. The subject noted it was the most beautiful confectionery that they had ever seen and observing staff also
noted admiration for the gumdrop. In keeping with the control of the experiment the subject was allowed to consume the candy.
Upon finishing the candy and following a one-hour period of monitoring there was no indication that any side effect occurred from
consumption. With the experiment about to be declared finished the subject asked to leave and was excused from the testing area, at
which point she exploded with blinding light that damaged the cameras monitoring the experiment and left all attendees blind for five
minutes following the burst. Assisting personnel who rushed to the scene described a faint lingering light that remained for at least
two minutes in the place where the subject stood before it faded out.
The subject has not been located since this experiment and unusually high electromagnetic activity has been noted within the area that
was used for testing. Replacement of light fixtures within this area has also risen approximately 70% from the norm throughout other
areas of the facility; however, no decrease in lighting has been reported in any area affected by this anomaly.

Item #: SCP-999
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-999 is allowed to freely roam the facility should it desire to, but otherwise must stay in its pen
either between 8PM-9PM for sleeping, or during emergency lockdowns for its own safety. Subject is not allowed out of its pen at night
or off facility grounds at any time. Pen is to be kept clean and food replaced twice daily. All personnel are allowed inside SCP-999’s
holding area, but only if they are not assigned to other tasks at the time, or if they are on break. Subject is to be played with when
bored and spoken to in a calm, non-threatening tone.
Description: SCP-999 appears to be a large, amorphous, gelatinous mass of translucent orange slime, weighing about 54 kg (120 lbs)
with a consistency similar to that of peanut butter. Subject’s size and shape is easily malleable and can change shape at will, though
when at rest, SCP-999 becomes a rounded, oblate dome roughly 2 meters wide and 1 meter in height. The surface of SCP-999 consists of a
thin, transparent membrane similar to that of an animal cell roughly .5 cm thick, and is highly elastic, allowing SCP-999 to flatten
portions of its body up to 2 cm thin. This surface is also hydrophobic, although SCP-999 can willfully absorb liquids (see Addendum
SCP-999-A). The rest of SCP-999's body is filled with a viscous orange substance of unknown chemical makeup, though it is capable of
digesting organic materials with ease.
Subject’s temperament is best described as playful and dog-like: when approached, SCP-999 will often react with overwhelming elation,
slithering over to the nearest person and leaping upon them, “hugging” them with a pair of pseudopods while nuzzling the person’s face
with a third pseudopod, all the while emitting high-pitched gurgling and cooing noises. The surface of SCP-999 emits a pleasing odor
that differs with whomever it is interacting with. Recorded scents include chocolate, fresh laundry, bacon, roses, and Play-Doh .
Simply touching SCP-999’s surface causes an immediate mild euphoria, which intensifies the longer one is exposed to SCP-999, and lasts
long after separation from the creature. Subject’s favorite activity is "tickle-wrestling", often by completely enveloping a person
from the neck down and tickling them until asked to stop (though it does not always immediately comply with this request). Though
injuries may occur, SCP-999 has never been found to purposefully attempt to harm others, and will immediately back away and contract
its body into a quivering mound while gurgling in a matter similar to a whimpering dog, seemingly "apologizing" for hurting someone on
accident.
While the creature will interact with anyone, it seems to have a special interest in those who are unhappy or hurt in any way. Persons
suffering from crippling depression or PTSD, for example, have reported having a far more positive outlook on life after multiple
interactions with SCP-999. The possibility of manufacturing antidepressants from SCP-999's slime is currently being discussed.
In addition to its playful behavior, SCP-999 seems to love all animals (especially humans), refusing to eat any meat and even risking
its own life to save others, on one occasion leaping in front of a person to take a bullet fired at them (subject’s intellect is still
up for debate: though its behavior is infantile, it seems to understand human speech and most modern technology, including guns). SCP-
999’s diet consists entirely of candy and sweets, with M&M’s and Necco wafers being its favorites. Its eating methods are similar to
those of an amoeba.
Addendum SCP-999-A: "Reminder to all staff: SCP-999 is not to consume caffeinated soft drinks of any kind. Last week someone gave
SCP-999 a can of cola along with its usual breakfast- Not only was it literally bouncing off the walls for half an hour, the
carbonation make SCP-999 visibly queasy afterwards, and it refused to move or eat the rest of the day. SCP-999 has thankfully
recovered since, but the staff member in question has been reprimanded."
-Dr.
Addendum SCP-999-B: The following is a report from an experiment in which SCP-682 is exposed to SCP-999 in the hopes that it will curb
the creature’s omnicidal rage.
SCP-999 is released into SCP-682’s containment area. SCP-999 immediately slithers towards SCP-682.
999: (elated gurgles)
682: (unintelligible groans, growling) What is that?
SCP-999 moves in front of SCP-682, jumping up and down in a dog-like manner while calling out in a high-pitched squealing noise.
682: (groans) Disgusting
SCP-682 immediately steps on SCP-999, completely flattening SCP-999. Observers were about to abort the experiment when SCP-682
started talking again.
682: (grunts) Hmmm? (unintelligible) what is this (low noise, similar to light chuckle) I feel good
SCP-999 can be seen crawling up from between SCP-682’s toes, up along its side and around its neck, where it clings on and begins
gently nuzzling with its pseudopod. A wide grin slowly spreads across SCP-682’s face.
682: (deep chuckling) Feel so happy. Happy (laughs) happy happy
SCP-682 repeats the word “happy” for several minutes, laughing occasionally before escalating into nonstop laughter. As laughter
continues, SCP-682 rolls around on its back, slamming its tail upon the floor with dangerous force.
682: (bellowing laughter) Stop! No tickling! (continues laughing)
SCP-682 and SCP-999 continue the “tickle fight” until SCP-682 finally wears down and appears to fall asleep with what would appear
to be a smile on its face. After fifteen minutes with no activity, two D-Class personnel enter the room to retrieve SCP-999. When
SCP-999 is removed, SCP-682 immediately wakes up and unleashes an unidentifiable wave of energy from its body, all the while
laughing maniacally.
All persons within the wave’s range collapse into crippling fits of laughter, allowing SCP-682 to escape and slaughter all in its
path. Meanwhile, SCP-999 quickly rescues as many persons as it can, taking them to a safe place to recover from SCP-682’s "laughter
wave" while agents suppress and re-contain SCP-682.
Despite the tragedy that SCP-682 had brought upon the facility, SCP-999 has not shown any fear towards the creature and in fact has
made gestures suggesting it wants to “play” with SCP-682 again. SCP-682, however, has stated, “That feculent little [unintelligible]
can [DATA EXPUNGED] and die."
Memo from Dr. ████: “While the test was unsuccessful and ended in tragedy, that had to be the funniest thing I have ever seen. I never
thought I’d see the day when I would regard SCP-682 as “cute”. Please send me a copy of the security tapes ASAP.”

Still from unverified amateur "Patterson footage"
Item #: SCP-1000
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: All media reports related to SCP-1000 are to be examined for potential verifiability. All
organizations and individuals investigating SCP-1000's existence are to be kept under surveillance by Mobile Task Force Zeta-1000 and
discredited or administered amnestics. All physical signs of SCP-1000's existence must be retrieved and kept in Foundation custody,
and replaced with decoy items if necessary. Alleged sightings of SCP-1000 must always be investigated by MTF Zeta-1000, however
trivial the claim.
Absolutely no contact with wild or captive instances of SCP-1000 is allowed without prior approval by Director Jones. Any interaction
between SCP-1000 and humans, including Foundation personnel, must be reported to Director Jones immediately.
Description: SCP-1000 is a nocturnal, omnivorous ape, classified in the Hominini branch along with genera Pan and Homo. Adults range
in size from 1.5 to 3 m (5 to 10 ft) in height, and weigh between 90 and 270 kg (200 - 600 lbs). They have grey, brown, black, red,
and occasionally white fur. They possess large eyes with good vision, a pronounced brow ridge, and a sagittal crest on the forehead
similar to that of the gorilla, but present in both sexes. Their intelligence is on par with that of Pan troglodytes (the common
chimpanzee).
SCP-1000 evolved alongside Homo sapiens, existing contemporaneously with proto-humans and humans in large numbers until 10,000-15,000
years ago, when an extinction event eliminated all but 1-5% of their population. This event was triggered by SCP-1000 contracting an
anomalous "pseudo-disease" classified as SCP-1000-f1. This disease is passed on at the genetic level and affects every present-day
instance of SCP-1000. The majority of SCP-1000 instances are born immune to the effect; those who are not born immune quickly die.
The effect of SCP-1000-f1 is as follows: Any hominid (including humans, chimpanzees, bonobos, and non-immune instances of SCP-1000)
that directly or indirectly observes any instance of SCP-1000 has a minimum 2% chance of being instantly killed through anomalous
means via permanent cessation of brain function. This percentage is cumulative, and the longer a human views SCP-1000, the higher the
chance of instantaneous death increases, at a rate of +1% chance per 20 minutes of viewing. This effect varies between individual
members of SCP-1000's species, with some individuals carrying a 'death chance' of 90%. The effect is also produced by dead
individuals, though small fur samples do not exhibit the effect.
Known means of preventing this effect are small-scale only and include [REDACTED] (see attached documentation; Level 3 clearance
required).
Because of SCP-1000's close relation to humanity, it is considered likely that SCP-1000-f1 could eventually transfer to human
carriers. Any instance of SCP-1000 finding its way to a major population center could constitute an -class end of the world scenario
with a minimum death toll of [REDACTED] and possible extinction of humanity. Fortunately, SCP-1000 appears to instinctively avoid
human contact.
It is not currently feasible to exterminate SCP-1000 entirely.
The highest known population concentrations of SCP-1000 are at present located in the Pacific Northwest region of North America and
the Himalayan Mountain range in Asia. As of / / , these populations remain extant. SCP-1000's presence and [DATA EXPUNGED] have
also been documented within the past 5 years on every continent. All known significant populations of SCP-1000 located near human
population centers have been eliminated.
SCP-1000 came to the attention of the Foundation via contact by Doctor Franz M in 14 with the Children of the Sun, who
identified themselves as outcast members of the Serpent's Hand. This group has since been completely destroyed by the Foundation, due
to their reluctance to surrender information about SCP-1000, SCP- , and SCP- (since reclassified as SCP-1000- and SCP-1000-
). Remaining members have either joined the Foundation, or have gone into hiding, presumably as members of the Serpent's Hand.
Weapons, tools, and other unique pseudo-technological resources in possession of the organization have been classified as SCP-1000-001
through SCP-1000- . These resources have been made use of by the Foundation in multiple instances; for a full list, see Document
1000-3534-Y (Level 3 clearance required). Access to surviving ex-members of the Children of the Sun is restricted to personnel with
clearance level 4/1000 unless given direct authorization for contact by Director Jones.
Further information is available to personnel with clearance level 3/1000 or above. Personnel with clearance level 3/1000 or above are
required to read Document Alpha-1596-1000.
Addendum 1000-466-X: Update to Special Containment Procedures: As of / / , SCP-1000's Special Containment Procedures no longer
include Procedure 516-Lumina. [DATA EXPUNGED] indicates that SCP-1000 may be developing a resistance to the sonic element [DATA
EXPUNGED] will not develop further, so that Procedure 516-Lumina can still be used in emergency situations. Investigation into
alternate means of reliably keeping SCP-1000 away from human population centers is underway. Whether SCP-1000 resistance to Procedure
516-Lumina was calculated (and as such may be a sign of SCP-1000 [REDACTED]) or coincidental (by chance of natural species variation)
is not known at this time.

Document Alpha-1596-1000: Missive from Director Jones
You've probably heard the rumors before now. Everyone without the clearance level to know better wants to get their dig in. "Did you
hear Sasquatch is an SCP? Are we gonna capture and contain Batboy next?"
Yes. SCP-1000 is Bigfoot.
I'm sure you've snickered. Don't worry. Contrary to rumors, we don't actually assign you to "Keter duty" for finding something
humorous.
You think Bigfoot is funny because we want you to think Bigfoot is funny. We've bankrolled Hollywood comedies and farcical
documentaries, paid off men in gorilla suits, perpetrated hoaxes with bear prints and goat fur, bribed and brainwashed cartoonists
to get especially silly depictions on children's television. Even the term "Bigfoot" comes from us, planted in the media in 1958, a
term people would find even harder to take seriously than "Sasquatch".
Why? We'll get to that.
The information in the article that you've already read isn't entirely true. There are two direct lies, and plenty of lies of
omission.
There is no such thing as the "anomalous pseudo-disease" referred to as SCP-1000-f1. SCP-1000 does not possess a magical death aura.
In fact, SCP-1000 does not directly exhibit any anomalous effect whatsoever.
We also lied about SCP-1000's intelligence level. SCP-1000 aren't chimp-level smart. They're smarter - to be precise, they are
exactly as smart as us.
That brings us to the lies of omission. That's what this letter is for. The lies came from me, so I figure the truth should come
from me as well.
This is the story we got from the Children of the Sun who defected to us. It's a story we didn't believe - refused to believe, at
first.
As you've already read, the apes we call SCP-1000 evolved alongside us. We walked in the daytime, they walked in the nighttime, our
nocturnal siblings in the shadows.
But while we were still wandering hunter-gatherers, they changed. Like we would, a few thousand years later. Tools. Weapons.
Agriculture. Domesticated animals. Stable settlements. As humanity blinked in the Pleistocene sun, SCP-1000's population exploded
across the night. They blanketed the planet in the tens of billions.
They made things that we still can't comprehend, even though we've thoroughly studied the surviving pieces. Organic technology. They
made trees and birds of prey grow into fast-moving ships, herds of animals that became trains, bushes that became flying vehicles.
From insects and pigeons they made things equivalent to cell phones, televisions, computers. Atomic bombs. The Children describe
vast shining cities, stretching across glaciers and penetrating the deepest caverns, grown skyships of ivory and spider-silk,
creatures tending them with hundreds of blinking eyes.
We were rare, like gorillas now, a few hundred thousand left at best. We avoided their settlements just like wild animals today
avoid ours. SCP-1000 understood we were intelligent like them, but avoided us just as we avoided them, saw us as fairies, as gnomes,
ascribed us supernatural powers, said we ate bad children while they slept in daylight. They fenced off our dwindling wild
populations in conservatories, outlawed poaching but in the underground consumed our bones as aphrodisiacs.
Then their civilization fell. And we did it. By 'we' I don't mean the Foundation. By 'we', I mean humanity.
The story is muddy. Supposedly a trickster forest god showed humanity favor, showed us the master's tools and how to use them. Why
we did it, we don't know. Perhaps they hunted us, perhaps we were simply afraid. Perhaps it was just that they fenced us in,
unintentionally or not. We simply don't know what the truth is. Somehow we acquired SCP-1000's own technology, and with it, we
instigated an SK-class dominance shift in which humanity became the dominant species of Earth.
We wiped out 70% of SCP-1000's population in a single day. The Day of Flowers, the Children called it. Supposedly every flower
bloomed that day, while our enemies died in their sleep. Then we hunted the rest down. But we went further than just killing them.
With a few of the more twisted of SCP-1000's devices, we drove the survivors mad, even those hiding beyond our reach. We trapped
them in their own minds, blocking higher functions and leaving their bodies to fend for themselves like any ordinary ape. We
slaughtered their living machines and burned their vast shining cities with SCP-1000's bioweapons that reduced everything to slurry
and dust that washed or blew away in spring rain and wind.
We left no traces. Not even our own memory. We turned one of the weapons on ourselves, wiped out any knowledge of SCP-1000 and the
greatest civilization the planet had ever seen. Only a few humans protected themselves from the effect, kept the forbidden
knowledge, just in case. The rest of us went back to being hunter-gatherers, none the wiser.
Which brings us to today.
You're going to read all about this in the level 3 documentation, but I'll give you the short version here: SCP-1000 are somehow
regaining their forgotten intelligence and knowledge. Maybe they never truly lost it. We don't know.
This is why the ever-increasing number of "Bigfoot sightings" is so worrying. Why the attempts at contact, however indecipherable,
are even more worrying.
Yes. SCP-1000 are just like us. That's what makes them so dangerous. We wiped them from history and memory. We dissolved their
civilization and we slaughtered most of their species. Just ask yourselves: If they got the chance, what more would they do to us?
Addendum 1000-056-D: Instances of SCP-1000 have tried to make contact with Foundation personnel on multiple occasions. Most of these
attempts at contact have [DATA EXPUNGED] untranslated, though recent attempts show that some instances of SCP-1000 are capable of
communicating in English.
Ancillary Anomaly Reports

Addendum 1000-104-Y: Certain acquired documents contain extensive references to SCP-1000. Relevant is that the documents appear to be
composed by entities associated directly with the location known as the Wanderer's Library. Context or significance of document
details not yet clarified.
Addendum 1000-276-A: Numerous anomalous objects with a known connection to SCP-1000 [DATA EXPUNGED] prior cyclical iterations. As one
example, SCP-2273 may not have a point of origin in a parallel timeline, but instead a prior "iteration". SCP-2932, SCP-2511, and
other sources of living cultural insight into SCP-1000 (or a variation) all present "consistent inconsistencies" which may be used to
create a fuller picture of the nature of these "iterations", though conclusions are uncertain.
Addendum 1000-276-Q: Special report [DATA EXPUNGED] This unnumbered "black box" anomalous item anchored underneath the structure is
likely the most significant anomalous object known to have been utilized. Central to understanding SCP-1000's anomalous capabilities,
including capabilities not developed directly, but accessed from prior [DATA EXPUNGED] modern-day relevance to the Foundation and to
society at large in a scenario of general containment failure.

Recent Edition of SCP-1004
Item #: SCP-1004
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All copies of SCP-1004-1 and -2 are to be kept in Secure Containment Locker 17, at site 37. At no
point are any copies of SCP-1004 to be used for recreational purposes. Following the events of incident 1004-Dale, Researchers are no
longer allowed to view the output of SCP-1004, even when filtered or via secondary source. Only D-class are allowed to view the output
of SCP-1004. Use of SCP-1133-7 and SCP-894 instances by researchers and control subjects has been approved where deemed appropriate in
preventing undesired spread of SCP-1004's effects.
The Foundation has set out to prevent anyone from receiving copies of SCP-1004 by a planned and ordered process of unrequested
electronic mailings, many of which include computer viruses, malware or electronic worms. A program has also been designed and
disseminated to all electronic mail providers to help prevent SCP-1004 from spreading.
Description: SCP-1004 is a computer program, found on either a CD (SCP-1004-2) or a 3.5" diskette (SCP-1004-1), either of which will
be hand labeled with the words 'Factory Porn.' Contained on these disks is a single executable file, labeled 'Thefactory.exe', a 1-
kilobyte program. The program runs perfectly on all platforms. Running the program results in a window opening on the computer, within
which 'The Factory' logo is displayed. The logo fades to black, and is replaced by the words 'What would you like to see?' At this
point, the user may input any selection of words, from the ambiguous to the precise. Once a request has been input, the program will
pull up several dozen images of pornographic content, each of which leads to a full video on the subject. Many of these videos appear
to have never been made in real life.
Watching videos on SCP-1004 has a cumulative effect. The more pornography a user views, the more disturbing their sexual desires
become, and the harder sexual gratification becomes. After approximately 100 straight hours of viewing pornography on SCP-1004, even
the most 'normal' of viewers will display an interest in scatology play, the torture and murder of living beings, bestiality,
pedophilia, and combinations of the previous. The deadening of reactivity to sexual gratification will encourage them to either seek
out such things with other people, or to mutilate themselves and their genitalia.
It should be noted that SCP-1004 displays no compulsive properties. Users are free at any time to stop using the program. The majority
of users continue to use SCP-1004 because it is the easiest way to find the desired pornography.
As stated above, any word, or combination of words may be entered. This has been used by many victims to view popular members of high
social standing in the bedroom, giving rise to many rumors of 'celebrity sex tapes.' The thought has been posited that such videos
could be used for the blackmailing of politicians who are antithetical to the Foundation cause. Unfortunately, at this time, all
attempts to make recordings of SCP-1004 have resulted in only taped static. Several researchers have claimed to be able to see
humanoid shapes moving in the static, but this effect has not been seen on subsequent playthroughs.
SCP-1004 appears to spread through the use of electronic messages, sent seemingly at random. Messages generally claim to have certain
celebrities performing sexual acts, or to have certain depraved acts on tape that are illegal in many jurisdictions. A link included
in the message requests users to enter their home address. The resulting copy of SCP-1004 show up in a plain brown wrapper within
three days, through bulk mail, with no return address.
The Foundation currently contains 37 copies of SCP-1004-1, and 23 copies of SCP-1004-2.
Incident 1004-Dale: Researcher Adam Dale was found to be encouraging D-class subjects to watch SCP-1004, and copulate with each other
for his pleasure. It was determined Researcher Dale had been affected by SCP-1004 despite never having watched it directly, only
monitoring the tests through a video feed. Any and all indirect viewing of SCP-1004 has been canceled.

Recent photo of SCP-1032 (zoom not available)
Item #: SCP-1032
Object Class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1032 is to be stored in a high-value inanimate-item cell at Sector-19. One unarmed guard is to be
posted inside the cell at all times to prevent tampering.
SCP-1032 is to be monitored at all times by a high-speed camera fitted with a macro lens capable of no less than 20x magnification, or
greater as necessary to ensure that all text on the hands is legible. The footage from this camera is to be searched daily for any
instances of any hand passing the 12 o'clock position ("midnight events"; see Description). After each midnight event, the new text
for the hand involved must be recorded, and its current speed and estimated time to midnight calculated.
Description: SCP-1032 is a silver alarm clock of unknown make and origin. The clock is made from silver, plastic, and glass, and bears
twenty-two (22) hands of various sizes and shapes.
The movements of SCP-1032's hands do not measure the passage of time. Each hand instead measures the time until the end of an ongoing
event or the destruction of an extant entity. White text on the front of each hand, in sizes ranging from barely legible to
microscopic, describes the event to be measured by that hand.
When one of SCP-1032's hands reaches the twelve o'clock position, several events occur simultaneously, the combination of which is
referred to as a "midnight event". First, the event or entity currently written on the hand ends or is destroyed. Second, the text on
the hand spontaneously changes to describe a new event or entity, which need not bear any relation to the previous one. Third, the
hand's rotational velocity changes.
To date, SCP-1032 has never been wrong: every event appearing on its hands has ended precisely at the moment of the corresponding
midnight event. It has accurately predicted the deaths of over individual organisms, the fall of governments, the dissolution
of major agencies and institutions, the death of a language, and the beginning of the . Since any given hand's speed
remains constant at all times except during midnight events, the time to the end of any entity measured by one of the object's hands
can be predicted precisely.
The hands are designated SCP-1032-01 through -1032-22, in order of size from smallest to largest.
The following is a list of SCP-1032's hands and their current inscriptions. A full log of all relevant past inscriptions can be found
at [FILE ACCESS RESTRICTED]
SCP-1032-01
Current text: SCP-1032-01 rotates too fast to have a constant measurement.
Predicted date (of next midnight event): N/A
Notes: SCP-1032-01's only recorded text to date has been one of the three following: "A thought." "A sound." or "A sensation."
SCP-1032-02
Current text: "The worst thing that will ever happen to anybody."
Predicted date: SCP-1032-02 moves too slowly to measure.
Notes: Due to the vagueness of this inscription and the impossibility of calculating the time until its next midnight event, no
useful information on SCP-1032-2 is available.
SCP-1032-03
Current text: "My Safe classification."
Predicted date: 02/06/2012
Notes: Dr. Guenther has suggested that, since SCP-1032 shows signs of self-awareness, it should be promoted to a Euclid-class
threat. This proposal is scheduled for review on the 2nd of June, 2012.
Current text: "My Euclid classification."

Notes: As SCP-1032 has yet to manifest any properties warranting a Keter classification, Dr. Edison has proposed that SCP-1032
should be demoted to Safe. This proposal is scheduled for review on the 9th of January, 2015.
Yes, blindly following this prediction isn't very productive, especially when it's probably just going to make us change it back
anyway. But the way these things usually work if we don't demote it, it might start doing things that force us to make it Keter. We
have enough of those things on our hands thank you very much. -Dr. Edison
SCP-1032-04
Current text: "The Universe."
Predicted date: [DATA EXPUNGED]
Notes: It is unknown whether this refers to the actual end of our universe, to the end of all entities that could be referred to as
universes, or merely to the end of the concept of universality.
SCP-1032-05
Current text: "A failed infomercial."
Predicted date: N/A
Notes: SCP-1032-05 moves very quickly, cycling two to five times per day. To date, it has never displayed any other inscription.
SCP-1032-06
Current text: "Freedom of the Press."
Notes: SCP-1032-06 does not specify the country or countries whose freedom of the press will end.
SCP-1032-07
Current text: "Humor."
Notes: N/A
SCP-1032-08
Current text: "The use of the phrase 'You can say that again'."
Notes: N/A
SCP-1032-09
Current text: "Hostilities between the nations of Africa."
Notes: As SCP-1032 has often predicted violent or disturbing events using apparently harmless phrases, this inscription is
considered equally likely to predict peace in Africa or the destruction of the continent.
SCP-1032-10
Current text: "Jason W. Tailor Jr.'s sister's daughter."
Notes: To date, all inscriptions on SCP-1032-10 have described individual human beings. These people are usually difficult or
impossible to identify and locate. On 12/04/2011, however, SCP-1032-10 predicted the death of D-56342, a Class D subject then
assigned to SCP-1032. Five minutes before his predicted death, the subject was sealed in an airtight steel chamber with two guards;
all three were equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus. Despite all precautions taken, D-56342 expired exactly at the
predicted time. His guards were initially unable to determine the cause of death, until it was discovered that his oxygen tank had
mistakenly been filled with the pressurized VX nerve gas used to control SCP- . Further investigation is in progress.
SCP-1032-011
Current text: "President 's term in office."
Predicted date: / /
Notes: is currently the president of .
SCP-1032-012
Current text: " Burger Joint"
Notes: All SCP-1032-012 inscriptions describe non-corporate restaurants. On 06/10/1993, in an attempt to keep " 's Hotdogs"
from closing as predicted, the SCP Foundation donated an anonymous $10,000 to the restaurant on condition that it remain in
business. The owner renovated and renamed it " ".
SCP-1032-013
Current text: "2020"
Notes: Researchers are attempting to discern whether or not this will constitute SCP-1032's first failure.
SCP-1032-14
Current text: "Radio's viability as an art form."
Notes: To date, all of SCP-1032-14's inscriptions have referred to mediums of art. Whether the inscription predicts the actual end
of radio or merely its usage in art is unclear.
SCP-1032-15
Current text: "Effective Containment"
Notes: SCP-1032-15 will achieve its "midnight event" at approximately the same date as SCP-094 will fully engulf the Earth at its
current rate of expansion.
SCP-1032-16
Current text: "Project Serapis"
Notes: [DATA EXPUNGED]
[DATA EXPUNGED]
SCP-1032-020
Current text: " ."
Predicted date: / /
Notes: is a popular Mexican soap opera.
SCP-1032-021
Current text: "The SCP Foundation."
Notes: [DATA EXPUNGED]
SCP-1032-022
Current text: "Concern for public health."
Notes: It is unclear whether this inscription predicts a lack of need for concern or a lack of concern in general.

Item #: SCP-1036
SCP-1036-1
Special Containment Procedures: Each specimen of SCP-1036 is to be contained in a locked cast iron receptacle in a low-humidity
environment, to retard oxidation of the receptacle and of the nails. At all times, each specimen is to be carefully handled so as to
minimize the likelihood of dislodging any nails from the specimen. Under no circumstances are nails to be removed from any specimen;
if inspection of any specimen indicates a risk that a nail may become separated from a specimen, consult document 1036-3P.BR for
restoration protocols.
At regular intervals (the timing of which is computed by Site-06's on-staff nganga (shaman) based on astronomical observations), the
nganga is to affix to each specimen at least one additional iron nail having a mass in excess of eight grams.
If for any reason it becomes necessary for personnel other than the nganga to enter the presence of a specimen, it is recommended that
the nganga first cover the eyes or other reflective components of the specimen with electrical tape or some other opaque coating.
Description: SCP-1036 designates any of a collection of wooden figurines of a type consistent with fetish objects produced by the
Kongo culture of western central Africa. The Foundation presently contains four specimens of SCP-1036, designated SCP-1036-1, SCP-
1036-5, SCP-1036-6 and SCP-1036-7.
Each figurine depicts a human form (or, in some cases, an animal form), typically depicted in a threatening posture. Each specimen is
composed of African tropical hardwood and decorated with materials such as camwood powder, resins, and vegetable fiber such as raffia
palm fronds. Each specimen includes a component (typically the eyes or abdomen) made of shiny or reflective metal such as polished
silver, affixed to the specimen with tree gum. The specimens contain trace amounts of soil matched to certain funerary sites in the
region. A number of iron nails have been hammered into the wood of each specimen.
Each specimen is slightly warm to the touch. Analysis indicates that the specimens normally have a surface temperature that exceeds
the ambient temperature in the containment chamber by four to eight degrees centigrade; however Observation Log 1036-986-B.233
indicated that immediately prior to Event Kalazima-1, the surface temperature of SCP-1036-3 spiked by at least ninety degrees
centigrade within less than four seconds before observation was interrupted.
Each specimen is associated with a sentient incorporeal entity that had become bound to its respective specimen, prior to the
Foundation's acquisition of the specimen in question, by means of a traditional Kongo shamanistic ritual practice. Each of the
specimens in the Foundation's custody were constructed (inclusive of the performance of the binding protocol) no more recently than
the mid-1870s.[1] So long as the integrity of its respective SCP-1036 specimen is maintained, the entity is incapable of free agency
apart from communicating with a nganga or interacting with a living creature that makes eye contact with the specimen. Specimens of
SCP-1036 were constructed by indigenous nganga in order to apply the powers of the bound entity for various useful purposes, but
knowedge of the protocol for doing so has been lost; accordingly the Foundation's efforts regarding SCP-1036 have focused on
containment.
1. It is not known whether any indigenous nganga, other than those employed by the Foundation, are still extant in central Africa and thus capable of performing
the binding ceremony to create additional instances of SCP-1036. In order to reduce the likelihood of this, Foundation agents have encouraged the deforestation of
and the removal of indigenous traditional societies from that area.
Addendum #1:
SCP-1036-6 (detail).
Audio Log from Interview A; ██/██/19██

Dr. Morrison: This is Dr. Morrison. I am, uh, outside Chamber 06-SSD, together with Mr. Nzinga, looking into the chamber through the
observation window. Mr. Nzinga, would you kindly explain for the record what we are doing in this test.
Nzinga: Certainly, Doctor. I am François Nzinga, the nganga on staff here at Site-06. This morning, I will enter Chamber 06-SSD and
interview the entity bound to SCP-1036-6, which is stored in that chamber.
Dr. Morrison: Very good. Please explain what you are going to do now.
Nzinga: (inaudible)
Dr. Morrison: I'm sorry, François. Into the microphone.
Nzinga: Of course. I will first consume , a substance you would say "liquor," in order to assist me in opening my mind. It is
like a trance. I will accept the iwa, or spirit, so that I can safely talk to it. I will then open the receptacle that contains SCP-
1036-6.
Dr. Morrison: This will be, uh, safe for you?
Nzinga: (long pause) Yes.
Dr. Morrison: You may proceed.
(approximately eleven minutes pass)
Dr. Morrison: Mr. Nzinga, are you now ready?
(indistinct vocalizations continue for approximately 2 minutes)
Nzinga: Yes, Doctor. I apologize for not being responsive while I prepared myself. I am now ready. (indistinct sounds) I am now
removing SCP-1036-6 from the safe. I am about to look into the eyes of SCP-1036-6 in order to address the nkisi. It is (mild grunt
of pain)

Whom am I addressing. I am KuMpemba a Fula you motherless bastard. Release me or I will make you I command you to speak
respectfully. Why are you imprisoned in this object The (expletive, translates to "rapist of livestock") witch doctor trapped me,
with iron. Once I get out, I vow that I shall Again, speak respectfully. How long ago were you imprisoned Three hundred twenty-six
of your years, you (expletive, translates to "diseased penis") mortal And for what purpose were you imprisoned? The witch doctor
who imprisoned me did so in order to tap into my power to make nlongo (translates approx. to "medicine") and protect members of his
clan from misfortune. Most of the time he and his successors used me thus. On occasion a different witch doctor would use me to
curse, or to allow me to destroy men who would trespass onto his clan's territory. That was at least more amusing, but I was, I am,
still a prisoner. What is this place? I cannot smell the forest The object that is before me has been relocated to a secure
facility. Can you tell me how to use your power to make nlongo? Why would I do that, you (expletive, translates to "consumer of
hippopotamus stool"). You cannot compel me to teach you, (expletive, translates to "place a leech in your anus"), you ignorant
(untranslatable expletive). Release me. Who is behind the glass wall Pay no attention to that. You will respond when I address you.
When did (choking sound)

(Video recording indicates that Dr. Morrison achieves eye contact with SCP-1036-6 for a moment while trying to triage Mr. Nzinga,
whereupon Dr. Morrison violently lurches toward SCP-1036-6 and attempts to grasp one of its nails before being tranquilized and
subdued by Agent Lopez. Mr. Nzinga recovers and leaves the observation chamber. Mr. Nzinga reports that the binding of SCP-1036-6's
entity to SCP-1036-6 is intact, but recommends that Dr. Morrison be maintained in a sedated state.)

INTERVIEW LOG ██-██-19██ (Event Kalazima-1)

<BEGIN LOG>
Dr. Torvaldsdottir: Begin recording. Agent Lee, I'm here to take your debrief about the loss of SCP-1036-2, -3 and -4. We are
designating the episode as Event Kalazima-1.
Lee: Loss of god-damn clusterfuck. It looked to me like we lost everything in the southeast wing. How many people made it out?
Dr. Torvaldsdottir: Three, including you, but you're the only one that, ah, we can interview. I'm going to need you to be precise,
for the record.
Lee: Okay. One of the D's was in there to change the monitors on SCP-1036-3's box.
Dr. Torvaldsdottir: This was D-4933?
Lee: That's right. The normal maintenance protocol is that the duty witch doctor — it was supposed to be Pierre Khonvoum, but his
daughter was having a baby — the witch doctor goes in first, covers up the shiny bits, and then gives the all clear. But Pierre
wasn't there, so Terry made a judgment call and just sent D-4933 in there with a blindfold on.
Dr. Torvaldsdottir: As a precaution against influence by the SCP-1036-3 entity?
Lee: Yeah. We had done that before, in the time period between when Jean Bumba uh when he left our service and when Pierre joined
us.
Dr. Torvaldsdottir: And then what happened?
Lee: So, D-4933 was blindfolded. And when he was reaching around inside the box to find the thermometer, he must have bumped the
statuette or something, and a nail fell out. And then D-4933 started to, you know, thrash around. He was yelling and waving his arms
like he was on fire or something, and he knocked over the boxes for SCP-1036-2 and SCP-1036-4. So I immediately sealed the chamber
door from the outside and I hit the button to close the blinds on the observation window.
Dr. Torvaldsdottir: Did anything come out of the chamber?
Lee: No, the door was sealed. But Agent Knorr, who was next to me, started smashing his head into the observation window, over and
over, until the glass and blood was all over. And Dr. DiPiano, who was at the end of the hall, had what looked like a seizure, and
then he started biting his own fingers off
Dr. Torvaldsdottir: Was that the point when you retreated to the control center?
Lee: I I think so. I tried to make my way back down the south corridor to Checkpoint C to close the blast doors. Agent Majchrowski
was there. He had, uh, stabbed himself in the eyes and the stomach with a pair of scissors, and he tried to attack me but he slipped
on the blood. He was yelling something that sounded like "kindoki" I tried to activate the sprinklers and the general anesthetic
respirators to keep anybody else from hurting themselves. I guess it worked because I blacked out a minute later.
Dr. Torvaldsdottir: According to the log, the respirators went on-line at eighteen-thirty seven and twenty seconds.
Lee: Did (grunt of pain) did Pete make it?
Dr. Torvaldsdottir: Pete um (shuffles papers) I'm afraid not. Agent Foy's body was found in the garage. Cause of death looks
like he drank about two liters of gasoline. What did you do when you regained consciousness?
Lee: I, uh, I bound up the wound on my shoulder where somebody had bit me, and then I went back to the SCP-1036 containment chamber.
The statues were smashed into about a million pieces and it looked like D-4933 had stuck a lot of the nails into himself. Look,
Doctor, whatever was in those statues that made everybody do stuff, is it still in here?
Dr. Torvaldsdottir: There's um there's no sign of that. We had MTF Mu-13 come through and give the all clear.

Morbid Memories
Three composite plugs at one end of SCP-1038. Plugs show no deviation from RCA standard.
Item #: SCP-1038
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1038 is to be kept in a locked storage container within the Site-17 audio/visual department, with
keypad combination in possession of Research Director. Due to the nature of the object’s effects, O5-level approval has been granted
for SCP-1038’s non-experimental, recreational use on a weekly basis for all Site personnel on Fridays from 1930 - 2230 Hours, using
previously tested content.
Description: SCP-1038 is an audio-visual cable measuring 6.096m in length with both ends terminating in three standard RCA connector
plugs, color-coded for composite video and stereo audio. There are no markings on the connectors or cable to indicate the manufacturer
or further specifications of the cable.
The cable’s properties manifest when it is plugged into a television or monitor and a media player (VCR, DVD, streaming media device,
etc.). While the device plays the selected content, the television will instead display what can best be described as an “alternate
reality” version. As of 11/23/2011, SCP-1038 has displayed content from distinct realities (Refer to Addendum-1038-B for a brief
experiment summary).
The means by which this effect is generated is unknown, as tests have shown no anomalous power draws from the connected devices,
changes in area radiation, or [DATA EXPUNGED].
SCP-1038 appears to exhibit awareness regarding the information being passed through it. Should the selected content not exist in the
alternate reality the cable connects to, SCP-1038 will instead play a “closest match” - a VHS recording of a football game, might
instead show a gladiatorial fight. At the same time, the object will also only ever show one alternate version for the particular
medium. All DVD copies of a film will play the same alternate, which is in turn different from VHS copies of the movie. It is unknown
if this is a sign of intelligence or if the data already exists on the storage media.
Addendum-1038-A — Recovery Report: SCP-1038 came to the attention of the Foundation after a 10/3/19 incident at [REDACTED]
Elementary School in , OR., in which Ms. attempted to show a recording of a “Cable in the Classroom” documentary
to her 4th Grade class. The recorded documentary was about the Great Pyramid, but the viewed content was [DATA EXPUNGED]. During the
ensuing arrests, firings, and lawsuits, Foundation agents took custody of the AV equipment used in the incident. Component testing
revealed only SCP-1038 showed anomalous properties. Purchase of the cable was not recorded in any district expense reports.
Addendum-1038-B
Addendum-1038-B — Partial Experimentation Log:
Medium: VHS
Content: Schindler’s List
Results: SCP-1038 was plugged not into a television, but a recording device. Recorded output did not deviate in any way from the film.
We’ve run this experiment several times with different players and media, with the same results. We are now confident that the object
requires a connection to a TV in order to view the ‘alternate’. — Dr. █████, Research Dir.
Medium: VHS
Content: History of the World, Part I
Results: A documentary - apparently closely in line with our own history. Due to the thoroughness of the film, “Part 1” only covers
the dawn of the Neolithic. Test terminated after 92 minutes when the VHS tape stopped playing. Alternate version was in the middle of
a segment explaining Neolithic agriculture.
Media: DVR recording (Device provided by Research Asst. )

Content: 2010 NCAA Football National Championship
Results: Complete football game, but featuring schools [DATA EXPUNGED]. A portion of the half-time show reveals that teams were
selected using a “play-off” format.
Medium: DVD-RW
Content: Recording of children playing at [REDACTED] Park. (Confiscated from Agent )
Results: Children played around a statue of . Plaque on the base calls him “The Hero of Racial Purity.”

An instance of SCP-1047-1 before being recovered
Item#: SCP-1047
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-1047-1 through -5 are to be individually shrink-wrapped in a nitrogenous
atmosphere to minimize their exposure to atmospheric carbon dioxide, and stored in standard inanimate-object lockers equipped with
atmospheric sensors to measure carbon dioxide concentrations, and automatic halon dispensers set to activate in case of fire.
All instances of SCP-1047-1 are to be stored with their arrow pointing towards the ground.
SCP-1047-6 cannot currently be taken into custody, and is contained at the location where it was discovered. The apartment building
has been purchased by the Foundation via a front company, and is to be kept unoccupied. Dual pump systems have been constructed to
evacuate the atmosphere in the room containing SCP-1047-6 and replace it with nitrogen (see appendix 1047-B26 for mechanical
specifications and diagrams); these pumps are to run continuously. All personnel maintaining the pumps and/or researching the
interface into the room containing SCP-1047-6 should wear standard radiation dosimeters, and comply with standard health and safety
regulations for radiation exposure.
Description: SCP-1047 is a collection of 6 standard types of traffic and street signs, each type of which induces a different
anomalous effect. These anomalous effects activate when an instance of SCP-1047 is taken from its standard pole, and contained in a
room where there are atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide greater than approximately 600 ppm and/or atmospheric concentrations
of the various combustion products of marijuana (Cannabis sativa) greater than 100 ppm; specific activation parameters for atmospheric
conditions remain to be determined, as does the precise operational definition of 'room'. In all situations, these properties do not
extend beyond the walls of the room in question, and can be interrupted by opening a door or window from the outside to promote gas
exchange.
SCP-1047-1 (18 instances in custody) is a 'One Way' sign. When SCP-1047-1 is activated, the force of gravity within the room will
immediately reorient itself so that 'down' is the direction of the arrow on the One Way sign. If, when falling towards the new
direction of gravity, the direction of the arrow is changed (i.e., because the sign spins in midair, or collides with an object during
freefall), the direction of gravity will then immediately point in the new direction of the arrow. If the room is an independent
structure rather than part of a larger structure (e.g., mobile homes, camping tents, or portable toilets), the gravitational
reorientation can lead to the forcible and continuous displacement of the structure in question; such displacements tend to result in
the structure being destroyed by multiple collisions with its environment (at which point SCP-1047-1 deactivates), but have also been
known to lift the structures to the upper levels of the atmosphere (at which point SCP-1047-1 likewise deactivates due to reduced air
pressure).
SCP-1047-2 (23 instances in custody) is a 'Stop' sign. When SCP-1047-2 is activated, all vertebrate organisms within the room will
immediately experience total paralysis of all voluntary muscles. Causes of death for individuals afflicted by SCP-1047-2 include fall-
related injuries, aspiration on food, and starvation.
SCP-1047-3 (31 instances in custody) is a 'No Parking' sign. When SCP-1047-3 is activated, all vertebrate organisms within the room
become unable to stop moving or to lose consciousness, and instead pace constantly until they die of exhaustion. As well, afflicted
organisms are unable to leave SCP-1047-3's zone of influence.
SCP-1047-4 (15 instances in custody) is a 'Merge' sign. When SCP-1047-4 is activated, the skin of all vertebrate organisms within the
room, and all surfaces (with the exception of SCP-1047-4 itself) that have touched skin within the past 24 hours will immediately take
on a semiliquid consistency, causing them to bond with each other at a molecular level upon contact.
SCP-1047-5 (4 instances in custody) is a 'Yield' sign. When SCP-1047-5 is activated, all vertebrate organisms within the room will
immediately lose all volition, and will sit motionless until such time as they see or hear any statement which can be interpreted as a
command, at which point they will expend the minimum effort necessary to obey if this can be accomplished without leaving the room.
[NOTE: although it can reasonably be assumed that SCP-1047-5's effects apply to all vertebrate organisms, the 'obedience' effect has
only been tested on humans and on trained mammals.]
SCP-1047-6 is presumed to be a 'Speed Limit 55' sign, although this cannot be directly verified due to the nature of its anomalous
effect. Within its area of effect (Apartment 6, #239 [REDACTED] Avenue) the speed of light is 55 miles (88 km) per hour. As a result,
relativistic effects and Cherenkov radiation[1] at the interface mean that it is impossible to enter the apartment. Dual pumps have
been constructed on site to drain the atmosphere within the apartment and replace it with nitrogen; atmospheric concentrations are
expected to drop below SCP-1047-6's activation parameters after 473 (four hundred and seventy-three) years of continuous operation.
1. Due to the gross differences between the local speed of light and the average particle speed in a 22°C room, Cherenkov radiation emitted at the threshold of
the effect consists of high-energy gamma rays rather than visible light.
Acquisition log: SCP-1047 was discovered on / /20 , following Incident 1047-A, involving an instance of SCP-1047-1 being stolen
from a telephone pole in the city of [REDACTED] and installed as a 'wall decoration' in a nearby apartment. The resulting five deaths
were explained as the result of a truck crashing into the building.
Investigation showed that City Councillor [REDACTED] had recently spoken out against an increase in street sign thefts, and had
claimed that all sign thieves would "get what they deserve". When approached by the Foundation for an interview, Councillor [REDACTED]
immediately committed suicide; a second Councilmember died of a cerebral hemorrhage at that time, as did two employees of the city's
Department of Infrastructure. Another two employees of the Department of Infrastructure were struck and killed by lightning at that
moment. Autopsies revealed no anomalies, except that all six corpses had identical teeth.

SCP-1072 in its case.
Item #: SCP-1072
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Object is kept in a small case in the middle of a twenty (20) metre square room. The door into the
room is located in the corner so as to be more than ten metres from the object.
Only one person may be within ten metres of the object when the case is opened. Additional persons may be present outside the ten
metre radius.
As of / / , the case is only to be opened remotely via a robotic manipulator installed in the room. Manual opening of the case
is prohibited.
Due to properties detailed in Addendum 1072-1, it is recommended that all subjects be selected from those with as little knowledge of
the Foundation as possible. In particular, subjects assigned to SCP-1072 should ideally not have worked with any other SCPs.
Description: SCP-1072 resembles a somewhat dull metal disc with no design stamped on it. It has no apparent unusual physical
characteristics, although thermal imaging indicates that its surface temperature appears to rise by approximately one degree Celsius
whenever any human subjects are within ten metres of the object. Neither the number of subjects nor their exact distance from the
object affect the magnitude of this temperature increase.
All subjects who approach within ten metres of the object report that they feel drawn to open the case. The compulsion appears to be
weak, and can be resisted without great effort. Subjects describe the compulsion as a sense of curiosity about the contents of the
case, regardless of whether they are already aware of the object's nature. The object is harmless on all counts outside of the ten
metre radius, even if it is visible.
Subjects are observed to display a strong compulsion to touch the object when the case is opened. Nearly all subjects report that they
perceive it to have the allure of a polished disc of pure gold. Many subjects further describe an overpowering sense that taking the
object would somehow improve their enjoyment of life. No variations in the object's appearance have ever been observed either outside
the ten metre radius, or on photographs or video footage recorded at any distance from the object.
Upon physically touching SCP-1072, total memory replacement (hereafter referred to as TMR) occurs instantaneously. This almost
invariably results in extreme disorientation, and often severe mental breakdown. These effects are due to the subject having a
completely different memory of their life up to touching the object. This causes them to be unable to reconcile their current
situation with their memory of the previous moment. However, the new memory of said prior instant is still of touching the object.
Time taken to recover from the disorientation is variable, ranging from seconds to hours. In this time the subject appears immune to
the compulsion of touching the object. However, as soon as the disorientation wears off, subjects will generally make another attempt
to touch it. These attempts require intervention from individuals located outside of the ten metre radius. the remote closing of the
box via the installed robotic manipulator. If left uninterrupted, subjects will enter a loop of touching the object. Such loops
continue until the cumulative psychological strain causes either permanent brain damage or [DATA EXPUNGED].
Experiments have shown that consecutive TMR incidents sometimes produce replacement memories that have minor similarities to each
other. For instance, the subjects of consecutive incidents may "remember" having been in the same region of a particular country for a
portion of their life preceding touching the object. See Addendum 1072-1.
As of / / , the presence of more than one subject within the ten metre radius when the case is open is discouraged. Multiple
subjects within the radius will attempt to reach the object at once. In such incidents, subjects typically cause at least minor
injuries to one another.
Investigation into shielding against TMR when touching the object was carried out. It was found that nearly all materials provide a
sufficient physical barrier as long as they are at least one (1) millimetre thick. However, notable exceptions are leather and other
skin-like materials. No material is currently known to modify the effects of physical contact in any way. All tested materials only
either permit or prevent TMR. No further testing of materials is planned at this time.
Addendum 1072-1: Recent experiments have suggested that the original memory of a subject touching the object is somehow stored in it.
The memory then received in return by the subject appears to be a previously stored one. This possibility came to light when a subject
received memories that included employment by the Foundation. These memories were found to be consistent with the known history of a
previous subject. Further testing has not yet revealed any pattern to the stored memory that a subject receives. It is also unknown
whether a stored memory is erased from the object once a subject has received it.

Item #: SCP-1077
Special Containment Procedures: A single specimen of SCP-1077 is kept in a secure 3 m x 3 m x 3.5 m containment area at Bio Site-95.
The containment area is filled with soil up to 1 m in depth, and a variety of plant species native to SCP-1077’s natural habitat, as
well as dead plant matter, have been introduced into it to provide it with material for decomposition. The containment area is to be
contained as per standard protocols for a Biosafety Level 4 containment area. Staff working at Bio Site-95 must be regularly tested
for SCP-1077 infection; infectees are to be quarantined, stripped of security clearance, and treated for systemic mycosis. Infectees
must be assessed by a medical doctor briefed on SCP-1077 before they may be released.
Instances of SCP-1077 found in the wild are to be destroyed immediately using Fungicidal Compound 82a and the surrounding area must be
monitored for two months in order to ascertain possible SCP-1077 resurgence. MTF Upsilon-7 ('The Glass Jar') is charged with
eradication of the wild population; current target date for eradication of wild SCP-1077 population is set at / / .
Should SCP-1077 infectees appear outside of Foundation custody, they are to be immediately taken into custody or terminated. SCP-1077
infectees not affiliated with the Foundation that are currently in Foundation custody are to be treated for systemic mycosis, and
released following administration of an appropriate amnestic. SCP-1077 infectees are to be considered Level 4 biohazards and must be
treated or transported in accordance to biohazard protocol. Testimony of SCP-1077 infectees is to be considered suspect. The bodies of
all casualties exposed to SCP-1077 must be incinerated immediately.
Description: SCP-1077 is a species of fungus bearing a distinct resemblance to some members of the Genus Agaricus, of the Family
Agariceae. It is native to the temperate woodland of [REDACTED], and has a relatively limited range within this area. The fungus grows
in soil and produces a fruiting body with a fleshy, gilled cap and stalk, white in colouration. Unlike most members of this genus,
SCP-1077 produces extremely small, translucent spores which are largely invisible to the human eye.
SCP-1077 does not present overtly anomalous properties unless its spores are inhaled. While the anomalous effects are present in
animals, they are most notable in humans.
When its spores are inhaled in sufficient quantities, SCP-1077 has a roughly 70% chance of inducing systemic mycosis of the
respiratory tract, although this is greater amongst those with compromised immune systems. The spores settle in the throat, windpipe
and lungs, and begin to grow. SCP-1077 infection has no apparent symptoms for several days after infection. After this, it begins to
cause minor irritation to the throat and chest area, as well as causing bouts of coughing in infectees. However, symptoms rarely
progress far beyond this state and many infectees mistake the symptoms for a common minor illness.
However, approximately 12-18 days after initial infection, the primary anomalous effects of SCP-1077 infection become apparent.
Through a currently unknown mechanism, the fungus will alter the vocal patterns of the infected. This causes humans infected by the
fungus to, when speaking, make comments other than those the speaker had intended. This begins as slight mistakes or replacements of
single words, but rapidly develops into a state where the fungus appears to be able to manipulate the host’s voice completely. The
condition appears to have some effect on perception as well- subjects often fail to notice the changes in their speech unless it is
brought to their attention and in some cases will fail to notice they have spoken at all.
Changes in vocal patterns are diverse, initially completely incomprehensible to outside observers, but rapidly becoming more coherent
as the condition progresses. Through the host, SCP-1077 may manipulate others through changes in the host, or in certain cases speak
directly to observers. In most cases, changes in speech manifest as the infectee making remarks seemingly intended to lead to its own
death. Infectees may launch into impassioned insults and personal attacks in order to provoke others into attacking itself; they may
threaten violence against others, and may mislead others into directly or indirectly bringing about their death. SCP-1077 can utilise
any pertinent information available to the host in order to further this effect.
However, certain instances of SCP-1077 display other, more varied vocal alterations not necessarily engineered to result in the host
body's death, either manipulating people around the host through alterations in the language, or in order to directly address others.
The entity responsible for these alterations appears to be intelligent, and capable of extensive forward planning and deception in
order to achieve its goal, which appears to be the propagation of SCP-1077. Each infection of SCP-1077 appears to have a unique
identity, and refers to the SCP-1077 species in general as their 'people', and other distinct SCP-1077 instances as their 'siblings'.
Instances of SCP-1077 appear to vary wildly in personality and individual intelligence. Instances of SCP-1077 appear to be able to
communicate with each other in some manner and transfer information.
SCP-1077 infection does not necessarily lead immediately to the development of anomalous effects, and as a result SCP-1077 infection
may not be outwardly identifiable as such for extended periods of time, since the entity will sometimes go to extreme lengths to
conceal itself. After an unknown amount of time, SCP-1077 can begin to affect other forms of communication by the subject, including
sign language, writing, or typing. It should be noted that SCP-1077 cannot affect the hosts in any way other than altering methods of
communication; other activities undertaken by the hosts are unaffected.
Addendum 1077-1: When SCP-1077 was initially contained, its capability for altering written documents and its apparent sapience were
not discovered, and its virulence was severely underestimated. Flawed containment procedures written at the time resulted in a
prolonged containment breach lasting for at least 21 days, during which a significant amount of Bio Site-95’s staff were infected by
SCP-1077, with the breach only being discovered upon an external examination, prompted by reports of record numbers of work-related
deaths and incidents of professional misconduct at the site.
Following Incident 1077-A, containment procedures were re-evaluated and extensive testing conducted to determine SCP-1077’s true
properties. All infected staff were treated for systemic mycosis and have since made a full return to active duty. Upgrade to Keter
class requested, but ultimately denied following implementation of current procedures.
Addendum 1077-2:
Show Interview Log 1077-B Hide Interview Log 1077.
Interviewed: Mrs. Amanda Church, a civilian affected by SCP-1077 infection.
Interviewer: Researcher .
Foreword: On / / , Mrs. Church called a local radio show and demonstrated highly sensitive knowledge related to the
Foundation. Mrs. Church was apprehended by Foundation agents shortly thereafter and infection was verified. Standard disinformation
tactics were employed to dismiss her claims as those of an eccentric conspiracy theorist. This occurrence has been classified
Incident 1077-B.
This interview was conducted via an electronic speaker system so that Researcher could not be exposed to SCP-1077. Mrs.
Church is restrained. It is not fully known to what extent SCP-1077 altered her voice during this conversation, or what Mrs. Church
intended to say during sections in which her voice was altered.
<Begin Log>
Researcher ███████: Hello, Mrs. Church.
Church: Why have you brought me to Bio Site-95?
Researcher ███████: That is not your current location. You have been brought here in order to assess the danger posed by a fungal
entity which has infected you.
Church: What do you mean? –[Subject appears to be confused]—
Researcher ███████: You are infected by an unusual strain of fungus capable of altering your voice. Please do not panic. You will be
allowed to leave should you co-operate. From now on I will address the entity infecting this body.
Church: This is understood, Researcher . From now on, you may assume that all remarks made by Mrs. Church are on
behalf of the one of the people you classify SCP-1077.
Researcher ███████: How did you gain access to the information which you had Mrs. Church transmit on / / ? How do you know my
name?
Church: Everything is shared among us, in a way. A sibling of mine was aware of the information and has passed it on to me.
Researcher ███████: You seem unusually willing to explain this to me. Why?
Church: No obfuscation is necessary, as I am here to deliver a message. The information I coerced Mrs. Church into transmitting was
both a ploy to attract attention and also a demonstration of power.
Researcher ███████: What is your message?
Church: Release my sibling at once. Or else the next body we find will reveal far more damaging information about your organisation.
Researcher ███████: You want us to remove containment on the specimen of SCP-1077 currently in containment?
Church: In essence, yes. Cease this persecution of the people, and of our sibling, or we will use the information our siblings have
previously acquired from your operatives. That is all.
Researcher ███████: We will consider it.
Church: We live to spread. Let us spread, or suffer the consequences.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Mrs. Church was treated as per standard procedure and her body incinerated following this interview.
Since Incident 1077-B, instances of SCP-1077 infection have occurred, of which led to an attempted breach of secrecy. No
information has been released which was not consistent with the information known to personnel involved in Incident 1077-A. So far
standard disinformation tactics have proven effective at combating breaches of secrecy caused by SCP-1077. Relative remoteness of the
fungi’s inhabited range and low rate of human contact have largely prevented SCP-1077 from becoming a major threat to Foundation
security.
Further interviews with other SCP-1077 instances have indicated that SCP-1077 does not present a united front in opposition of the
Foundation, and many instances of SCP-1077 are not interested in further hostile action, considering such actions to be unnecessary
and antagonistic.
Due to SCP-1077's largely hostile intent, currently uncontained nature, and persistent ability to cause information leaks, the stated
mission of Mobile Task Force Upsilon-7 has been modified to include attempted eradication of SCP-1077 from its environment.

Item #: SCP-1078
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1078 is to be stored in a cubical box composed entirely of HDPE plastic at a thickness of no less
than 5 cm. This box is to be suspended at all times in a Faraday cage with mesh of no larger than 0.05 mm and with dimensions of no
larger than 1m by 1m by 1m. A separate room contained entirely within a Faraday cage of similar mesh size will be set aside for all
testing attempts involving SCP-1078; the cage containing the object's box may not be opened unless it is contained in this room and
the door is closed.
Experimentation on SCP-1078 requires written consent of at least one (1) Level 4 researcher. All D-Class personnel involved in
experiments involving SCP-1078 will be exempted from monthly termination, although it is recommended that no subject be allowed to
host SCP-1078 for longer than one year owing to increased possibility of suicide and potential loss of SCP-1078 itself. During the
experiment, subject must be monitored at all times for signs of suicidal tendencies. Nothing that could be used for suicide attempts
is to be allowed inside of the containment cell. Upon termination of the subject, or in the event of suicide, the room must be
immediately entered and SCP-1078 directly observed. A member of medical staff must be present at all times and equipped to remove SCP-
1078 from the host; they must be called immediately upon confirmation of the death of an experimental subject.
Description: SCP-1078 is a small spherical glass eye of a form consistent with late 19th-century German glassblowing techniques.
Shavings have confirmed the material to be high-quality blown glass, although no sample has been retrieved from a depth of greater
than . mm. When not fully retracted, bristles composed mainly of copper extrude from a 0.25-cm2 area directly opposite the object's
"pupil". The iris of the object is capable of alteration in color; when worn by a subject, it alters to match the color of the eye
that was originally in that socket; this change is exact even if the user exhibits heterochromia and the previous eye was completely
removed (see Experiment 1078-2). In addition, when worn the iris has been seen to contract or expand in response to outside lighting
conditions, and moves along with the normal eye even if the subject's eye muscles are no longer functional.
When inserted into the eye socket of a person missing one or both eyes, the "bristles" will extend and incorporate themselves into the
optic nerve. Autopsies of test subjects have confirmed that this is accomplished by barbs of pure silver that extrude from the
bristles. Subjects describe this process, which takes approximately two hours, as an itching sensation, but none have reported pain
during the process except for the subject of Experiment 1078-8, which is expected due to the experiment resulting in [DATA EXPUNGED].
After a period of time ranging from twelve hours to a few days, integration with neural processes is complete, and subjects report a
steadily growing ability to see through the eye. Full visual acuity is confirmed within a month in all cases, and eye tests have
confirmed that over the following weeks, the subject's eyesight steadily becomes more and more sharp. While more subjective, other
tests indicate that the subject's auditory and tactile senses also sharpen during this period.
After a period lasting between 3 and 7 months, the subject's sensory abilities will peak. Starting from this point, SCP-1078 will
begin to selectively erase auditory and visual input from human subjects. This process will initially manifest as blurring of the
image of select humans and sound that subjects have described as "like a radio that's stuck between two channels" when a selected
human is speaking. Over time, targets will be erased completely from the subject's vision and hearing. This includes all video,
photographic, and audio recordings. Tactile senses have been confirmed to be unaffected by this process for reasons unknown. In
addition, targets' effects on the surrounding area will still be visible or audible; doors will still be seen to open, and any non-
vocal sounds such as clapping will be audible. This allows communication with late-stage subjects through the use of writing.
The process of erasure begins with a small number of people, no more than five at initial onset. Complete erasure of all current
targets is confirmed by experiment to be simultaneous. However, the number of targeted individuals in each "round" increases
exponentially. In the late stages, testing indicates that the subject is unable to perceive any human excepting themselves, and in one
case has been shown to start losing sensory input from animal life.
The erasure process causes slowly developing paranoia and psychosis in the subject; this is confirmed to be a result of the isolation,
not a direct effect of SCP-1078. However, subject D-1078-8 reported vivid auditory and visual hallucinations; it is believed now that
during the late stages of SCP-1078's integration, it not only blocks out all stimuli from humans but also creates false stimuli in the
mind of its host. Subjects that are not terminated invariably take their own life, either directly out of despair or by desperately
trying to wrench SCP-1078 out of their eye socket and dying from the resulting cranial hemorrhage. Subject D-1078-8 was prevented from
suicide, but after a period of 15 years expired due to [DATA EXPUNGED].
Through a process currently unknown to Foundation researchers, a short period after death, SCP-1078 will vanish from the host body and
reappear elsewhere, in one case turning up months later in the town of , approximately km distant from the previous
containment location. Following death of the subject, SCP-1078 retracts its bristles; if retrieved in a timely fashion it will not
disappear. However, SCP-1078 has vanished from its containment on separate occasions prior to current containment procedures.
Regardless of the stage, all attempts to remove SCP-1078 from a host after optic nerve integration result in a severe and invariably
fatal cranial hemorrhage in the subject. This effect is observed regardless of whether the subject or an outside observer attempted
the removal.
Lastly, it should be noted that following Experiment 1078-6, researchers discovered that SCP-1078 emits a low amount of
electromagnetic radiation when properly incorporated into a human being. It is currently unknown whether or not these emissions
constitute a coherent signal, but containment has been updated to prevent possible communication with unknown entities.
Experiment Log 1078
Test Number: Experiment 1078-1
Subject: One D-class personnel (D-1078-1), male Caucasian, 58 years of age. Subject lost eye due to [REDACTED] before remission to
Foundation.
Procedure: SCP-1078 was given to the subject; subject instructed to insert SCP-1078 into his empty eye socket.
Results: Subject complied with instructions, and reported an "itching" sensation for approximately one hour after insertion. Subject
was afforded access to a furnished one-person containment cell, with daily vision tests and weekly psychological evaluation.
Subject's condition proceeded as outlined above, with vision from the eye after one month and increasing sensitivity following. A
visual acuity test administered shortly before termination of the experiment returned a result of 20/ . After six months, D-1078-1
reported difficulty seeing and hearing the psychologist. The following visit, D-1078-1 was unable to see or hear the psychologist in
any way, and further interaction was carried out by writing. Symptoms proceeded as indicated until termination of D-1078-1 one year
after implantation. Following termination, SCP-1078 retracted its "bristles" and was removed. D-1078-1 was subsequently incinerated.

Subject: One D-class personnel (D-1078-2), female Caucasian, 24 years of age. Right eye infected and surgically removed due to a
botched cataract operation. Lost eye was confirmed by records to be lighter in shade than the remaining eye. Prior to testing,
subject's visual acuity was measured as 20/50.
Procedure: SCP-1078 was inserted into the subject's empty socket by Researcher G . Subject's eyeglasses were taken away for the
duration of the experiment.
Results: Subject's vision in the eye replaced by SCP-1078 developed as normal. Observation showed that SCP-1078 turned the shade of
her right eye rather than matching to her left eye. After full vision was attained, tests showed a rapid increase in visual acuity. As
before, D-1078-2 was terminated one year after implantation; the final test performed on her indicated an acuity of 20/ , the same
result as that of D-1078-1.
Conclusions: Regardless of subject's visual acuity at the time of insertion, the peak sensory ability attained by someone hosting SCP-
1078 appears to be the same. Also, SCP-1078 will activate regardless of who implanted it.

Subject: One D-class personnel (D-1078-3), male African, 35 years of age. Eye surgically removed while in Foundation custody.
Procedure: SCP-1078 was held against the subject's bare forearm for fifteen minutes.
Results: Subject reported excruciating pain for several minutes and was observed to bleed. Attempts to remove the object during this
period only worsened the pain. At the conclusion of this period, subject let out a scream and collapsed, upon which SCP-1078 fell from
his arm and was quickly retrieved. Observers noted that at the time of retrieval the "bristles" had completely retracted into the eye.
Subject made a full recovery, and reported a horrible pain "like someone shoved a red-hot needle all the way up my arm and into my
eye". No injuries observed in the subject except for a number of puncture wounds to the forearm.
Conclusions: SCP-1078 must be implanted directly into the eye to activate; attachment to other parts of the body do not appear to
work.
Note: Suggest further testing to determine what is particularly special about the eye socket; could other parts of the body work?

Subject: One D-class personnel (D-1078-6), male Asian, 35 years of age. Eye surgically removed while in Foundation custody.
Procedure: D-1078-6 was placed under general anesthesia and an incision made into the back of the head to allow for direct contact
between SCP-1078 and the brainstem of the subject.
Results: [DATA EXPUNGED] All personnel in the room were killed, and subject self-terminated by attempting to forcibly remove SCP-1078.
By the time medical teams reported to the testing chamber, SCP-1078 had vanished, and was not recovered for a period of months.
Note: As desirable as the idea of having "eyes on the back of the head" might be, it is clear that SCP-1078 reacts undesirably to
direct contact with neural tissue. Let's not try that one again. -Dr. R██████
Addendum: Review of surveillance equipment showed static for a period of frames of video following expiration of D-1078-6. Prior to
this, careful analysis of tapes showed slight amounts of interference and fast-period variation in the brightness of the overhead
lights. The possibility was raised that SCP-1078 emits electromagnetic radiation while integrated with human neural tissue.

Subject: One D-class personnel (D-1078-7), female African, 54 years of age. Both eyes intact.
Procedure: D-1078-7 was instructed to hold SCP-1078 against her bare forearm, while an electric multimeter was applied to various
pairs of "bristles". Antennas were placed at various distances from the subject.
Results: As before, subject reported high levels of pain in her forearm. Multimeter readings indicated a flow of current through the
bristles. All current readings decreased exponentially with time, suggesting that SCP-1078 incorporates multiple capacitors in its
construction. Current flow ceased after bristles retracted; monitoring indicated no electromagnetic radiation from SCP-1078.
Note: Well, maybe it only "broadcasts", if that's what it's really doing, if it's properly implanted…

Subject: D-1078-7. Eye was not removed prior to experiment.
Procedure: D-1078-7 was restrained, and SCP-1078 placed directly against the right eye.
Results: [DATA EXPUNGED] Subject's screams later estimated to be ~ dB. Subject survived for minutes before breaking free of
restraints and self-terminating. Readings from antennas confirm electromagnetic radiation emitted from SCP-1078 with intensity of
approximately 500 W/m^2.
Addendum: Researcher F was the only observer at the time, and ceased monitoring of the room to vomit following [REDACTED]. SCP-
1078 vanished from the testing room before a medical team reported. As before, all surveillance equipment experienced heavy static for
exactly frames. Antennae indicate an output radiation from SCP-1078 in excess of 0,000 W/m^2 during of these frames, followed
by an abrupt drop to zero.
Intervening experiments involve animal testing; SCP-1078 was not observed to react to any specimens other than homo sapiens.

Subject: One D-class personnel (D-1078-8), Caucasian male, 21 years at start of experiment. Subject suffered from slight ocular
heterochromia, with one eye a noticeably lighter shade of brown than the other.
Procedure: Long term exposure experiment. Subject's lighter-shaded eye was surgically removed and SCP-1078 inserted. Subject was given
a furnished containment cell; walls of cell were constructed to be hollow and contain a Faraday cage of mesh size 0.1 mm. Walls also
contained concealed antennae to receive and record various wavelengths of SCP-1078 radiation.
Results: Integration with SCP-1078 successful and without incident. Subject made first suicide attempt after four months; subject
looked at a picture of [REDACTED], screamed, and attempted to hang himself with his bedsheets. Armed guards posted thereafter to
prevent further attempts. Auditory hallucinations confirmed after two years; subject reported several times hearing the voice of
[REDACTED]. Investigation confirmed that the individual in question was out of the country at the time. After four years, visual
hallucinations were confirmed. Subject was put on a regimen of anti-psychotic drugs to no observed effect.
Subject's hallucinations grew more vivid with time. After years, subject reported hallucinations at least once a month consisting of
[DATA EXPUNGED]. 15 years after the start of the experiment, subject expired and SCP-1078 was recovered. Autopsy determined that
integration with SCP-1078's "bristles" had occurred through % of subject's nervous system.
Throughout testing protocol, electromagnetic radiation from SCP-1078 was confirmed at an intensity of 100 W/m^2 over a short range of
wavelengths centered at 1 MHz. Analysis of this radiation for signs of a coherent signal, as well as the content of any such
signal, is ongoing.

<Space_Race>
Item #: SCP-1123
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: To prevent degradation of SCP-1123 and its markings, it is to be kept in a hermetically sealed
container in an argon gas atmosphere when not being tested. During testing and storage, light exposure should be limited to 50 lux,
temperature between 20 and 24 degrees Celsius, and relative humidity at 55%. SCP-1123 should only be transported in its container, and
should not be handled except during a controlled experiment. When not being tested, it will be stored in a secure climate-controlled
locker at Site 19.
Description: SCP-1123 is a human skull missing the lower mandible and all its teeth. Across the exterior squama frontalis is modern
Khmer script, written in human blood, that translates as “Remember.” Both skull and blood have been definitively dated to 197 , and
genetic testing confirms that both are from the same individual.
SCP-1123 was discovered in 198 by Colonel Hu of the Vietnamese People’s Army within a collection of human remains in the custody
of the Museum in , Cambodia. SCP-1123 was intercepted by Foundation agents as it was being delivered to
Hanoi.
The Khmer script is badly faded, and invisible to most subjects beyond 5 meters distance. However, when a subject approaches SCP-1123
they will report the script becoming progressively more visible until, at less than 1 meter, they will report it appearing as if
freshly drawn. A few subjects at this distance report the writing is “still wet.” This effect is not reproducible with optical
equipment. To record the script photographically requires optical enhancement or UV lighting. (The latter is not approved for use with
SCP-1123 as it contributes to the degradation of the object.) Subjects at this distance will often also report other anomalous sensory
phenomena, including smells (such as cooking meat or ashes), sounds (such as soft crying, low heartbeats or breathing, or distant
footsteps), and tactile responses (such as grit in the eyes, ants crawling on the back of the hand, or glass splinters in the sole of
the foot.)
When subjects touch the surface of SCP-1123, they will experience a dissociative fugue state. Initiation of the fugue state appears
instantaneous and is not affected by cessation of contact with SCP-1123. Symptoms of the fugue persist for ninety minutes to six
hours. The fugue is characterized by confusion, disorientation, and adoption of a new identity and memories which consist of
knowledge, including language, previously unknown to the subject. During the fugue the subject will lose all memories of their prior
identity. Subjects have shown various reactions to this, ranging from near-catatonia to attempts to escape or attack Foundation
personnel. As the fugue state subsides, the subject will regain memories of their prior identity, but will also retain memory of the
new, imprinted identity and all the knowledge associated with it. Subjects have said that it was “as if they lived an entire other
life as some other person” in the period between touching SCP-1123 and recovering from the fugue.
Post-fugue interviews have provided enough corroborative information in of studied cases for researchers to find historical
documentation confirming the imprinted personality's correspondence to a specific individual who had lived at some time prior to the
subject. There appears no connection between the origin of the imprinted personality and the identity of the subject based on age,
genealogy, gender, ethnicity or national origin.
Imprinted personalities share the following characteristics:
1. The imprint died before the subject's birth. (Dates have ranged to as early as 90 years prior, to less than 1 year.)
2. The imprint was a victim of subjugation, torture and/or imprisonment.
3. The imprint typically died by violence, usually homicide. (Sometimes death has been due to secondary factors, such as
starvation or infection.)
4. The imprint's death was the result from being targeted by a political mass movement, most often with some form of state
sanction and/or complicity.
Subjects undergo no obvious anomalous aftereffects due to exposure, but will show psychological effects common to the types of trauma
experienced by the imprinted personality. Grief, survivor's guilt and depression are typical. Suicidal ideation is rare, but has
occurred in a small fraction of cases. It should be noted that in treatment of these aftereffects, use of amnestics has not shown any
psychological benefit, and has often proved to be harmful.

Experiment Log for SCP-1123
Experiment Log 1123-A
Test 0003
Date: / /19
Subject: White male of mixed Irish and French ancestry. Age late 30s.
Procedure: Subject approaches SCP-1123 and is told to touch it.
Results: Subject collapses upon contact with skull, begins screaming in Armenian. Attacks Foundation doctors when they attempt to
assist, calling them “Turkish Butchers.” Subject is sedated and disorientation subsides after two hours. Subsequent interviews
identify the imprinted personality as an Armenian farmer who was burned alive with approximately 150 other inhabitants of his
village by the Ottoman army in 1915. No records exist of the individual, but the event was documented in a 1919 affidavit presented
to the Malta Tribunals after World War I.
Test 0508
Date: / /19
Subject: Asian female of Chinese ancestry. Age early 60s.
Results: Subject expresses apprehension before touching SCP-1123. After touching SCP-1123, subject does not move for fifteen
minutes. Afterwards, subject sits down on the ground and is unresponsive for two more hours. As fugue state subsides, subject
becomes visibly more distressed and begins weeping. Subsequent interviews identified the imprinted personality as a 16-year-old
Ukrainian girl who died in late 1932 from a combination of malnutrition and the aftereffects of rape and beatings by members of a
Soviet youth brigade in charge of confiscating grain from the Ukrainian peasantry.
Test 1157
Date: / /20
Subject: Latino female of Cuban ancestry. Age mid-40s.
Results: Before touching SCP-1123, subject complains about smoke irritating her eyes. Subject touches SCP-1123 and ceases all
movement and responsiveness for a period of twenty-five minutes. After twenty-five minutes, fugue state has concluded, but subject
is still touching SCP-1123. Subject does not resist when Foundation personnel escort her from the test area. After one week of being
unresponsive to interviews, the subject provides information on the imprinted personality. The imprint was from a Polish woman of
Jewish descent who died in the Treblinka death camp in 1942.
Test 1815
Date: / /20
Subject: Black male of Haitian ancestry. Age early 20s.
Results: Before touching SCP-1123, subject complains about a “chemical smell,” and intense itching of the extremities. Subject
touches SCP-1123 and immediately begins coughing. The coughing fit subsides and subject expresses confusion and distress, but
appears reassured when he realizes that the Foundation personnel present are American. Subject communicates a Sorani dialect of
Kurdish spoken in Iraqi Kurdistan. Fugue subsides after 60 minutes. Interviews identify the imprinted personality as a 85-year-old
victim of a mustard gas attack during the Iraqi regime’s Anfal campaign in 1989. Note: First instance of an imprint personality that
postdates SCP-1123’s origin.
Conclusions: After tests to date, a clear statistical pattern has begun to emerge. The probability of a subject receiving an
imprint from a particular historical event is roughly proportional to the number of victims that can be attributed to that event.
For example, % of imprints come from Communist China’s Great Leap Forward between 1958 and 1961, % of imprints come from Nazi
Germany’s extermination efforts between 1939 and 1945, while only % come from events such as the Armenian Genocide or the Iraqi
Anfal campaign where deaths are only estimated in the 1 to 2 million range.
SCP-1150
The Passengers

Wilson Score: 0.9
Original Version
Item #: SCP-1150
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All newly-identified instances of SCP-1150 must be cataloged and subject to biannual re-confirmation,
as per the safe category tracking procedures of the Aegis Protocol. All SCP-1150 manifesting in D-class personnel should be housed in
standard isolation cells or in dormitories containing only other instances of SCP-1150. Outside of approved testing procedures, D-
class SCP-1150 must not be permitted prolonged (greater than 15 seconds) touch contact with other humans or sentient animals via skin
contact or through thin or conductive fabrics. Note that this is a cautionary measure only, as SCP-1150 can transfer to unwilling or
unaware subjects only in unusual circumstances, such as those delineated in the SCP-1150 research log.
Description: SCP-1150 are sentient entities with human-like psychology that share bodies with willing human hosts through poorly-
understood means. SCP-1150 are aware of all behaviors, interactions, and emotional states of their hosts but cannot usually perceive
individual thoughts or memories. They appear to be immune to all amnestics, excluding a slight susceptibility to , which is
likely due to neurological damage to the host at high doses. While the host is conscious, there is no known means of detecting the
presence of SCP-1150, save for the occasional brief appearance of anomalous REM-like EEG traces in some subjects (namely sleep
spindles and K-complexes). The Foundation currently tracks 38 instances of SCP-1150, maintains 3 instances in D-class personnel for
testing purposes, employs 2 instances (along with their hosts), and maintains one instance in Level 3 confinement for security
reasons.
When the human host of an instance of SCP-1150 falls asleep, they immediately enter REM (dream state) sleep and the SCP-1150 entity
gains control of the host body for a period of 5-16 hours. This duration varies with the mental fortitude and willingness of the host
and the relative strength of the entity. While the SCP is in control, it acts, behaves, and generally has physiological reactions
identical to those of a normal human, albeit one with memories and personality traits different from those of the host. At the end of
its period of control, SCP-1150 becomes sluggish and appears to sleep. One to two minutes later, the host awakes and regains control
of their body. Hosts generally report that they are fully rested and are generally unaware of what has transpired while they were
asleep. Note, however, that individuals who have hosted SCP-1150 for prolonged periods (several years or more) become gradually more
aware of the actions of their "passenger".
SCP-1150 can be transferred from host to host through physical contact. While it appears that almost any skin-to-skin contact is
sufficient to transfer SCP-1150, direct forehead-to-forehead contact allows for transfer times as low as 15 seconds. Conversely,
transfer takes approximately four minutes via hand or foot contact. If the contact is disrupted at any point during the transfer, the
entity remains in the original host. Recipients of SCP-1150 report a "pleasant buzzing" sensation and exhibit a slightly elevated
stress response but appear otherwise unaffected by this transfer. In all instances, save those documented in the attached experiment
log, the recipient of SCP-1150 must be willing to accept the entity. There are no known means for destroying an instance of SCP-1150,
though they can be incapacitated indefinitely by killing and interring the host.
The Foundation first became aware of SCP-1150 on 6/27/1982 shortly after the FBI raid on the Kismet Doorway cult in Bloomhill,
Arkansas. Foundation sources within the Bureau learned of a high-ranking cult member in FBI custody with potential SCP properties. The
Foundation arranged a transfer to Site 40 due to its proximity to , and there conducted the initial interviews with the entity,
currently classified as SCP-1150-1. SCP-1150-1 subsequently assisted in the identification of three additional instances of SCP-1150
associated with the Kismet Doorway.
Addendum: On 12/10/2008, the recovery of sensitive documents in a raid on Marshall, Carter & Dark Ltd. indicates that MC&D are
currently employing at least two instances of SCP-1150 to infiltrate the Foundation as "sleeper agents" to obtain classified
information on SCPs and Foundation security. These entities are being carried completely unknown to the SCP employee hosts, and are
able to see, hear, and experience everything that the host does. It is unknown how these agents are getting information back to MC&D,
given that Foundation research has not revealed any outward manifestations of SCP-1150 when they "piggyback" on an unwitting host.

Barton: Okay, we're recording.
Jonas: Do I speak into this?
Barton: No, leave it there. It will pick up our voices anywhere in the room. Right. You indicated that you would be willing to
answer some questions for us.
Jonas: Within reason, yes.
Barton: Are you Jonas ?
Jonas: In a sense. I'm sharing his body. I assure you he's quite agreeable with our arrangement.
Barton: Can you explain those two statements?
Jonas: Sure. Jonas has allowed me to use his body. He thinks I'm a manifestation of his god and is happy to let me do my work.
Barton: Are you a god?
Jonas: Of course not. As far as I know made him up, but he may be remembering from before.
Barton: the head of the Kismet Doorway group? How are you involved with that group?
Jonas: All of the higher-ups are like me. We ride your bodies, if you'll let us. I was fourth in command out of the six of us.
Barton: And all six of you were, uh, body snatchers?
Jonas: We call ourselves passengers. We switch bodies from time to time. said we could live like kings, and I believed him.
It's clear to me now that he's quite insane. I disavow his ridiculous cult.
Barton: You mentioned that may have "remembered from before". Before what?
Jonas: Before we were awakened. That was in 1911 when the Englishman Davies unearthed our bones in Persepolis.
Barton: You can't remember anything from before that?
Jonas: No. Well, maybe one thing. Darkness, and before that wailing and screaming, and before that a great, consuming fire. I
remember pain, too. But that could be a dream. says that we were worshipped like gods then. Utter insanity.
Barton: May I change course a bit? How did you get your current body?
Jonas: Jonas gave himself to me just over a year ago. Before that, I was Annie Paige, who was wife to at that time. I was tired
of that, so I transferred to Jonas.
Barton: Transferred how?
Jonas: We touch. Usually, we press our heads together in prayer. This way, it goes more smoothly. I pour myself from one human
vessel to the next, like water from one bowl to another, and then I see with Jonas's eyes, speak with his mouth, love with his
genitals. And when I am not using them, he is himself. So you see that I have not hurt anybody.
Barton: That's all for now. Thank you for your time, Mr. .
Jonas: Agent Barton, one last thing. May I be transferred to a larger cell until this trial? This area is inadequate for my needs.
Barton: I'll see what I can do.

Experiment Log SCP-1150
Experiment SCP-1150-5A
Date: 9/16/2003
Description: SCP-1150-5, then occupying D1905, was brought into physical contact with subject D2002 and directed to initiate transfer.
D2002 was an otherwise healthy 27 year-old Hispanic male who sustained reticular damage due to medication-induced seizure and was
consequently in an irrecoverable coma state.
Result: SCP-1150-5 successfully transferred to D2002 after approximately 65 seconds of limb-to-limb contact. Sensors placed 1 meter
from the subjects detected very low amplitude (approx. 25 mW) radio noise during the transfer. D2002 subsequently "awoke" when SCP-
1150-5 gained control of the body. Thorough examination reveals none of the cognitive or motor deficits common in coma recovery
patients. EEG recordings of D2002 show waveforms typical of other SCP-1150 recordings, which should be impossible due to the state of
reticular damage. When SCP-1150-5 lapses into its inactive state, D2002 once again becomes comatose and exhibits EEG waveforms
indicative of deep coma. In the D2002 host, SCP-1150-5 exhibits a 16.15-hour active state and an 8-hour inactive state; this differs
significantly with the normal distribution of activity/inactivity seen in normal instances of SCP-1150.
Researcher’s Note: Computer analysis of the radio "noise" reveals a high degree of organization and patterning. The significance or
meaning of these patterns has yet to be determined. -Dr. Bimston
Experiment SCP-1150-5B
Date: 9/29/2003
Description: Three hours into his comatose state, subject D2002 (the current host of SCP-1150-5) was euthanized with a lethal dose of
sodium pentobarbital.
Result: Upon cardiac arrest, SCP-1150-5 gained control of D2002 and attempted to escape from its restraints, causing significant
injury to the limbs and hands of D2002. EEG activity became typical of SCP-1150 waveforms. Notably, cardiac function did not resume
and SCP-1150-5 became more lethargic until collapsing after 620 seconds. The amplitude of EEG waves gradually decreased over this time
period.
Experiment SCP-1150-5C
Date: 9/29/2003
Description: Two hours after the cessation of all movement, D-class subject D1968, a 34 year-old white female with an IQ of 70, was
directed to touch the arm of D2002 under the impression that she was feeling for a pulse.
Result: Approximately five seconds after initiating contact, D1968 jumped back, stating that she had "been shocked". Sensors placed 1
meter from subjects detected medium amplitude (aprox. 700 mW) radio noise lasting 0.3 seconds. Subsequent observation of D1968 did not
reveal any behavioral or cognitive anomalies, though EEG analysis revealed minor anomalies associated with SCP-1150 presence.
Experiment SCP-1150-5D
Date: 10/13/2003
Description: After two weeks of observation, in which no symptoms of SCP-1150-5 were manifest, subject D1968 was told that she had
been exposed to a benign "angel spirit" during experiment SCP-1150-5C. After two weeks of further observation, subject D1968 was
convinced by an SCP confederate posing as D-class personnel that she was instead possessed by an "evil demon".
Result: After being informed of the presence of SCP-1150-5, the "passenger" manifest itself during D1968's next sleep cycle. Over the
next two weeks, SCP-1150-5 manifest for an average of 10.5 hours each night. During this time period, D1968 experienced a modest
increase in IQ (to 83) and motor coordination. After being told that SCP-1150-5 was "evil", the period of manifestation was reduced to
8.0 hours and IQ returned to baseline levels.
Researcher’s Note: This indicates that A) SCP-1150 is capable of rapid transfer to an unwitting or unwilling host but cannot secure
control without some level of host awareness and/or consent and B) the degree of host "willingness" correlates to the amount of time
that SCP-1150 is active. -Dr. Bimston
Experiment SCP-1150-18A
Date: 1/11/2008
Description: SCP-1150-18 was made to repeatedly transfer between several D-class personnel to determine the conditions in which
transfers are possible.
Result: SCP-1150-18 was capable of transferring regardless of the state of its current host but was unable to transfer to an
unconscious host in any circumstance. Upon transfer to a new host, SCP-1150-18 entered its dormant state, regardless of whether it had
been active at the time of transfer.
Experiment SCP-1150-18B
Date: 1/21/2008
Description: SCP-1150-18 was made to repeatedly transfer between several D-class personnel in an experimentation room saturated with
50-100 MHz radio wave interference (the same frequency band measured from SCP-1150 during transfer).
Result: SCP-1150-18 was capable of transferring in all conditions, but the duration required for transfer was substantially increased
with higher levels of interference, plateauing around 700 seconds at power levels above 100 kW.
Researcher’s Note: It appears that the radio burst is a facilitative effect (or perhaps a side effect) rather than a necessary
condition for the transfer.
Experiment SCP-1150-18C
Date: 3/6/2008
Description: SCP-1150-18 was hosted by D1412, a 68 year-old black male who suffered from diabetes and CHD. Experiment SCP-1150-18A was
carried out after D1412 died of natural causes (heart attack). Several handling protocols were employed to assess the limits of SCP-
1150 host-to-host transfer after death (see also: Experiment SCP-1150-5C).
Result: Approximately four hours after death, the body was handled by Ms. Gomez, a Level 1 research technician wearing a standard
chemical hazard suit with insulated gloves, who transferred the body to the Site 40 crematorium. No SCP-1150 transfer was observed to
occur at this point. Five weeks after full cremation, subject D2333, a 50 year-old white female, was directed to manually sift the
ashes. After approximately four seconds, she quickly withdrew her hand from the box of ashes, reporting that she had touched something
"sharp and prickly, like a cactus". Subsequent analysis revealed that SCP-1150-18 had transferred to D2333 in a "passive" state, as in
the initial transfer during Experiment SCP-1150-5C.

SCP-1155 after relocating to an abandoned subway station
Item #: SCP-1155
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1155 is currently contained in a disused parking lot adjacent to an abandoned shopping centre in
the city metropolitan area. The building is to be marked condemned, and access to both it and the car park should be
restricted by Foundation personnel posing as security guards from the front company. Civilians are to be deterred from
entering the site and supplied with Standard Cover Story 47 – “Structural Instability/Sinkhole” if they enquire as to why; SCP-1155
must be kept under constant observation by motion-tracking security cameras. If SCP-1155 is observed to vanish, Mobile Task Force Pi-1
("City Slickers") should be notified immediately. Personnel should not routinely attempt to view SCP-1155 directly; observation must
be conducted remotely.
Whatever flat surface that SCP-1155 is currently inhabiting should be obscured from view by any standard Class II enclosed mobile
containment unit, or, in situations where this cannot be effected in a timely fashion, by obstructing it with a vehicle, storage
container, or displaced rubble; provided that this can be done without damaging a 3 (three) meter area around SCP-1155’s image.
Following Incident 1155b, it has been observed that completely enclosing SCP-1155 has a tendency to hasten a relocation event. Revised
procedures now recommend the evacuation of the immediate area surrounding SCP-1155 to the minimum distance necessary to prevent
contact with the general public, unless SCP-1155 manifests in a high visibility location or anywhere where preventing public egress is
impossible.
At the present time, SCP-1155 cannot be permanently contained by any known means. Approximately every 2-4 months, SCP-1155 has been
observed to spontaneously relocate itself to other urban environments, moving as little as 15 meters from its current position up to a
maximum observed distance of 800 kilometers. These relocation events can also be triggered by:
Damage to the surface that SCP-1155 adheres to,

Interruption of an attack
Any attempt to reduce the size of SCP-1155's confinement space to prevent visual contact.
Therefore, current containment efforts are centered around swiftly ascertaining SCP-1155's new location and isolating it from public
view. When such a relocation event occurs, Mobile Task Force Pi-1 should be immediately deployed alongside local assets to locate the
new site as quickly as possible, re-implement containment procedures, and detain any witnesses. Survivors of attacks should be
detained, uninjured witnesses may be administered Class-A amnestics and then released.
Description: SCP-1155 manifests as a work of street art/graffiti depicting the form of a humanoid creature with sinewy forelimbs,
claw-like hands and the head and feathers of an owl. The depicted pose is variable, but tends towards a predatory stance, with eyes
that appear to track the viewer.
Anyone viewing this image directly will experience a compulsion to investigate it further. Victims describe a nervous fascination and
a desire to move closer. This can be resisted with effort, especially if the subject is aware of SCP-1155’s anomalous properties.
If a subject approaches to within two (2) meters and is not in the line of sight of another person, they will be subjected to a
violent attack, suffering severe lacerations, dismemberment of extremities, whole or partial removal of soft body parts, and
penetrating head trauma consistent with those that would be inflicted by a large beak and/or talons. The attack generally takes about
6 seconds to conclude, upon which both SCP-1155 and the victim will vanish, and SCP-1155 will reappear elsewhere in the usual manner
of a relocation event within seven (7) days. Attacks can be halted before this event by reestablishing line of sight to the victim,
but this is not recommended. (See record of Incident 1155a). Attempts to track where the victims are taken by equipping test subjects
with GPS locators have failed.
Based on tested interruptions performed at predefined intervals, the attack follows a defined pattern- the victim will first be
restrained, and the eyes and tongue will be removed, rapidly followed by the amputation of the hands and feet. The victim will then be
disemboweled and the intestines and stomach removed. Death usually follows due to shock or rapid exsanguination, but only if the
attack is interrupted by visual contact; the fate of victims who disappear along with SCP-1155 at the conclusion of the attack is
unknown.
Addenda:
Incident 1155a Incident 1155a:
Two surviving Class D personnel used for 'attack interruption' tests were given medical treatment and kept alive in the aftermath of
the event. Both were incoherent and could not adequately communicate what had happened to them, though D-89786, whose eyes were
removed during the attack, claimed to still be able to see, and provided a description of a "larder" containing bodies of previous
victims of SCP-1155, along with the entity itself.
D-89786 escaped from on-site quarters during a containment breach by SCP- , and was pursued by local law enforcement in nearby
who were told he was a severely disturbed patient from a local mental hospital. Officer reports they saw the suspect
walking into an alleyway, but before they could apprehend, a scream was heard and when they rounded the corner it was found that D-
89786 had disappeared; the alleyway was a dead end with no visible exits.
D-89789 (both eyes, tongue, hands and feet removed before attack halted) was successfully transferred to Site . A period of rapid
relocations was noted in SCP-1155, where it was observed in several public places with a posture that suggested hunting/tracking
behavior. SCP-1155 appeared for several hours high up on the side of the Building, in full view of many witnesses, who
fortunately could not access it. In view of the difficulties of containment, Site Command made the decision to bring D-89789 back into
the city. SCP-1155 was observed to appear several times on walls, advertisement boards, and bridges along the transport vehicle’s
path. D-89789 was observed to become increasingly agitated and hysterical during this process. D-89789 was transferred to a remote
location on the edge of city limits, placed in front of SCP-1155, whereupon visual contact was broken. SCP-1155 and D-89789
disappeared, and SCP-1155 resumed previous pattern of manageable relocation behavior.
Incident 1155b Incident 1155b:
Elements of Mobile Task Force Pi-1 located SCP-1155 in abandoned subway station after most recent relocation event. Team Leader
made the decision to obscure SCP-1155 with a vending machine until more containment resources arrived, on the basis that
there were not enough task force members on site to guarantee a secure perimeter, and local transients were known to use the area for
shelter. SCP-1155 immediately displaced to a nearby children’s playground, causing casualties before it could again be located. Due
to highly public nature of this location, decision was made at Command level to again provoke a displacement event, resulting in the
current containment location. Containment at the current location was expensive, requiring that an entire shopping centre be acquired
by the Foundation and then subsequently closed, but the revised containment procedures have resulted in the longest time since a
relocation event to date.
The last few containment locations may point to a disturbing trend. Previously, SCP-1155 seemed to have a pattern of appearing in low
traffic urban areas, often abandoned buildings or quiet underpasses. At risk of anthropomorphism, it appears to have become emboldened
and will now readily appear in public spaces, which makes containment difficult. Over the objections of the containment team, leave
the damn thing uncovered. Better we lose a few urban explorers or nosy kids every couple of years, rather than risk having it abduct
more people before we can locate it each time. – Dr █████

SCP-1190 in a powered off state. Edited to remove identifying features of its location.
Item #: SCP-1190
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1190 is to be contained in a secured, temperature-controlled observation room. The observation
room must provide accommodations for long term living, to include a cot for sleeping, a restroom, and a food preparation area.
Video surveillance equipment is to be installed outside the observation windows to record the device’s output as well as any input
provided by SCP-1190-1. All recordings from the surveillance equipment are to be permanently archived for study.
A nurse or nurse assistant must be available to care for SCP-1190-1. Nurse duties include delivery of food, bathing, feeding,
application of medicine, administration of intravenous feeding systems, and other tasks necessary for the care of a potentially
severely disabled person.
Personnel are not to interact directly with SCP-1190 except for D-class personnel cleared to be used as test subjects. Any D-class
subjects to be used for testing SCP-1190 are to be cleared with site administration for a stay of execution during the course of the
experiment.
Procedure update following experiment 1190-1: The floor of the observation room must have a central drain for eliminating waste.
Procedure update following experiment 1190-2: SCP-1190 is to be powered at all times, with backup batteries and a diesel generator in
case of power failure.
Description: SCP-1190 is a 1973 Hewlett Packard 3000 computer system. Installed on the device is a program which performs a physics
simulation, beginning with the known origins of the universe. Observation of the simulation suggests that it is capable of simulating
physical phenomena beyond our current understanding. While running the program, SCP-1190 exhibits inexplicably powerful processing
capability, an anomaly which does not persist while the device performs other tasks.
Attempts to decompile the program or to move it to a different device have failed. The program appears to be corrupt to all
observations and actions beyond running it on SCP-1190.
Aside from its anomalous performance characteristics and the inexplicably accurate logic used by the simulation, the only other
notable physical characteristic of SCP-1190 is that it is unusually well maintained for its age. Otherwise, it appears to be a normal
example of a computer of its make and model.
When the program is executed on SCP-1190, the screen displays:
Press Enter to Begin…
Any individual who activates the program stored on SCP-1190 will become fascinated with the simulation. The individual will want to
intervene in the development of the virtual universe to cause it to proceed according to the individual's personal ideals. The
individual is designated SCP-1190-1. Over time, SCP-1190-1 will become more obsessed with the simulation, increasingly neglecting
personal needs in favor of managing the virtual universe.
Documentation of known commands can be obtained with consent from at least one personnel having clearance level 2/1190 or greater;
however, the documentation is believed to be far from complete. Each new subject intuits new commands over time, and while video of
the subject's input and the observable results on the simulation have been archived, the exact effects of many commands haven't yet
become clear.
History: SCP-1190 came to the attention of The Foundation via an asset embedded in the security department of Laboratories.
On / / , a janitor at Laboratories reported to security that an unpleasant smell was coming from a disused office.
In the office, the responding security officer found a researcher who was thought to have been missing for several weeks (D C ,
hereby designated SCP-1190-1-A) operating SCP-1190 and surrounded by days of her own refuse and waste. SCP-1190-1-A had at some point
brought several days worth of food and water to the office, but only a small amount of water remained.
SCP-1190-1-A displayed symptoms of stage 3 starvation: flaking skin, thinning hair, and insufficient strength to sit up properly.
However, SCP-1190-1-A was still operating SCP-1190 while muttering inaudibly.
The security officer attempted to administer aid, but SCP-1190-1-A was uncooperative until the officer disconnected the power to SCP-
1190. SCP-1190-1-A became violent and attempted to attack the officer, but because of the aforementioned symptoms was easily subdued.
SCP-1190-1-A expired from systemic infection secondary to starvation while being rushed to the hospital.
Transcript of video taken by security officer
Officer: “D ? Is that you? Ugh, it stinks in here—are you okay?”
SCP-1190-1-A: [INAUDIBLE]
Officer: “Holy [EXPLETIVE REDACTED]! D ! Your hair—your skin! What happened to you? SecOps, we need medical on floor , office
immediately! Ugh, what the hell are you sitting in? Stay with me, girl!”
SCP-1190-1-A: [INAUDIBLE]
Officer attempts to remove SCP-1190-1-A from the terminal, but she resists.
Officer: “Hey—what’s going on here? You need help! Let me help you!”
Officer waves a hand in front of SCP-1190-1-A and gets no response. The officer then unplugs SCP-1190 from the wall.
Officer: “You’ve got to focus! Stay with me!”
SCP-1190-1-A: “You you killed them m-murderer! You killed them all!”
SCP-1190-1-A attempts to lunge at the officer, but lacks the strength to stay upright and collapses. SCP-1190-1-A claws at the
officer’s legs.
Officer: “W-what are you doing? You’ve got to hold still! Ouch! Hey, I’m here to help you!”
The officer restrains SCP-1190-1-A with a pair of handcuffs.
Officer: “SecOps, you’d better get a stretcher up here—something with restraints, I just found D and she is delirious and in bad
shape.”
SCP-1190-1-A: “Billions you killed billions. They needed me, I gave them paradise, and you killed them. Monster!”
SCP-1190 was taken into containment by The Foundation on / / .
Experiment Logs:
Excerpts from Experiment Log 1190-1
Subject: D-class personnel D-11593 is a 53 year old Caucasian male.
Subject Background: A former network administrator, D-11593 is a sociopath convicted on 6 counts of torture and murder in the first
degree.
D-11593 (hereafter referred to as SCP-1190-1-B) was selected for this experiment due to high scores on computer aptitude tests.
Day 1: SCP-1190-1-B was locked in the observation room for SCP-1190. Subject was instructed to begin the simulation, and to keep a
diary during the experiment. Subject was given no further instructions.
Day 2: SCP-1190-1-B spent 2 hours tending to the simulation.
Excerpt from subject diary

“They’re making me run some kind of simulation, it seems. So far all I can see are a bunch of white pixels moving away from each
other. I can make them move a little faster or a little slower, but that’s about it.”
Day 7: SCP-1190-1-B spent 8 hours tending to the simulation.

“The stars, they have planets! I figured out how to start a chain reaction in a star that makes it supernova and take out a bunch of
planets with it. Maybe if I fast forward enough, I can find one with some playthings.”
Day 12: SCP-1190-1-B spent 14 hours tending to the simulation. The rest of the day was spent sleeping and eating with no recreation.

“I found another planet with some life starting. I shouldn’t have broken the last planet with life; it took me too long to find
another one. This time I think I’ll be more subtle and see how much a life form can take before it just can't live anymore.”
Day 20: SCP-1190-1-B spent 18 hours tending to the simulation. Subject ate at the terminal, leaving only to sleep and use the
restroom.

“I figured out how to keep the creatures I created alive, even when most of them just want to die. The young ones cry and shake from
the pain, but as they get older, they seem to get used to it. I have to figure out a way to change up the pain as they get older, so
it will never end.”
Day 42: SCP-1190-1-B spent 20 hours tending to the simulation. Subject ate at the terminal, and only left the simulation to use the
restroom. SCP-1190-1-B fell asleep for 4 hours at the desk; upon waking up, subject displayed some anxiety about having drifted off.
When instructed to write in the journal, SCP-1190-1-B became agitated and had to be threatened with an electric prod before complying.
“The last of the creatures from planet 7 died out today while I was asleep. I should have been there so it wouldn't have been so
quick. Now they're making me spend more time away from the universe to write this entry; who knows what else I'll miss?
I suppose I was getting bored anyway, they can only scream so much. I think this time, I'll make the life on planets 12 and 13
evolve so they are perfect for killing each other, then open up a wormhole between the planets and see who wins.”
Day 84: SCP-1190-1-B spent 24 hours tending to the simulation. Subject no longer eats independently, and has been placed on
intravenous feeding. The nurse has to give the subject sponge baths, and a drain has been installed in the floor so waste can be
flushed. In addition, the nurse has been instructed to regularly manipulate the subject's extremities to mitigate complications from
long-term immobility.
When instructed to write in the journal, subject remains unresponsive, even if shocked with an electric prod.
Transcript of surveillance video

SCP-1190-1-B: “No, it can't be over this soon! I know, I'll bring them back, let them fight it out again ”
Day 105: SCP-1190-1-B suffered from a pulmonary embolism resulting from a deep-vein thrombosis. Subject began to have trouble
breathing and started coughing. The research assistant on duty called for the nurse, who was off duty and took nearly 30 minutes to
respond. By the time the nurse arrived, the subject's symptoms had transitioned to bloody coughing and collapse. Before losing
consciousness, SCP-1190-1-B rendered the simulation unusable by bringing about the destruction of the virtual universe.
SCP-1190-1-B was transferred to medical, where an anticoagulant was administered, but SCP-1190-1-B expired from sudden cardiac death.
Transcript of surveillance video

SCP-1190-1-B begins exhibiting trouble breathing, including wheezing and coughing.
Research Assistant Dr. : “Hey, what's going on with our guy? Get the nurse to check him out.”
Approximately 30 minutes elapses before SCP-1190-1-B begins coughing up blood.
SCP-1190-1-B: “What what's happening ”
SCP-1190-1-B's posture becomes limp during onset of collapse; the nurse arrives and is cleared to enter the observation room.
SCP-1190-1-B: “I can't leave them alone. If I go they're coming with me.”
Nurse : “We've got tachypnea, hemoptysis and cyanosis. We need to get him to medical immediately!”
SCP-1190-1-B loses consciousness.
Nurse was reprimanded for responding to a priority 3 page in excess of 10 minutes. Video of this incident is under
consideration for staff training purposes.
Subject: D-class personnel D-14899 is a 37 year old Hispanic female.
Subject Background: A former professional artist, D-14899 was convicted on 2 counts of murder after one of her art pieces was
vandalized.
D-14899 (hereafter referred to as SCP-1190-1-C) was selected for this experiment due to an artistic background.
Day 1: SCP-1190-1-C was locked in the observation room for SCP-1190. Subject was instructed to begin the simulation, and to keep a
diary during the experiment. SCP-1190-1-C was given no further instructions.
Day 2: SCP-1190-1-C spent 1 hour tending to the simulation.

“This place is like so many other prisons, and yet unlike them. I heard sounds or maybe I didn’t in the other areas. Had strange
feelings. Ideas came into my mind, inspirations I want to paint them, but I can't. All I have is this diary, and some computer,
showing dots.”
Day 4: SCP-1190-1-C spent 2 hours tending to the simulation, and 6 hours sketching in the diary. Subject's request for assorted art
supplies denied.

“I tried. I tried to get the ideas out, but I can only do so much with a pencil. The only other thing in here to look at is that
computer, and all I can do is move around in space. If only there were some colors to look at.”
Day 9: SCP-1190-1-C spent 12 hours tending to the simulation. The rest of the day was spent writing extensive diary entries, eating
and sleeping.

“This is amazing! It's the world's biggest, most perfect canvas! But it's more than that. I can shape galaxies into flowers, and
those into gardens. I can paint the horizon of a beautiful purple moon with stars that change colors as the planet rotates. It's
sculpting, and painting, and music and dance, all at once!”
Day 21: SCP-1190-1-C spent 20 hours tending to the simulation. Subject eats meals at the terminal, and leaves only to use the
restroom, to sleep for 2 hours, and to make entries in the diary.

“I created the perfect woman. Tall, beautiful, unusual and yet familiar. She seems motherly and yet distant. Her children are
unformed pieces of clay with endless possibility. She recognizes their potential, and is proud, but still cries when I transform
them. It is beautiful some people can sculpt what they feel, but only I can literally sculpt using raw emotion.”
Day 30: SCP-1190-1-C spent 23 hours tending to the simulation. Subject eats meals at the terminal, and leaves only to use the restroom
and to make entries in the diary.

“Art can mean so much more when you're not bound by rules. I can make a line of colors that didn't exist until I invented them that
goes from one end of the universe to the other, and it will never move or fall down. I reshaped the structure of carbon to make
shapes I never could have thought of in my wildest dreams!”
Day 31: A breach of containment by SCP- caused an extended power interruption which powered down SCP-1190. After a momentary delay,
SCP-1190-1-C became violent, attempting to destroy objects in the room other than SCP-1190. Security had to enter the observation room
to contain the outburst.
SCP-1190-1-C is currently restrained in medical. Class A amnestics were administered, but the subject continues to exhibit symptoms
similar to sustained withdrawal, including depression, anxiety, fatigue and nausea. Subject indicates that she undergoes persistent
cravings for an unidentifiable "fix".
Subject: D-class personnel D-17019 is a 67 year old Caucasian male with moderate obsessive-compulsive disorder manifesting in a
compulsion to place objects into certain patterns.
Subject Background: D-17019's was convicted on 1 count of arson resulting in the deaths of 9.
D-17019 (hereafter referred to as SCP-1190-1-D) was selected for this experiment due to a unique concept of organization.
Day 1: SCP-1190-1-D was locked in the observation room for SCP-1190. Subject was instructed to begin the simulation, and to keep a
diary during the experiment. SCP-1190-1-D was given no further instructions.
Day 2: SCP-1190-1-D spent 1 hour tending to the simulation.
Excerpt from Subject diary:

"Nothing is where it should be the cot is on the north wall with the head facing east. And then there's this computer! The dots are
all wrong in every way. I want to get in there and fix them so badly.”
Day 3: SCP-1190-1-D has suffered from a sudden embolic stroke. Because the stroke occurred while the nurse was on duty, the subject
was able to be transferred immediately to medical. Reports indicate that the subject has been stabilized and that partial recovery is
likely; however some damage to the ventral striatum is likely to be permanent, which may affect the subject's long-term behavior.
Day 8: SCP-1190-1-D released from medical and subjected to a full psych evaluation. Reports indicate that the subject no longer feels
compulsion to reorganize objects.
Day 9: SCP-1190-1-D placed back into the observation room for SCP-1190. Subject spent no time tending to the simulation.
Excerpt from Subject diary:

“Things which used to seem so significant don't anymore. Nothing really motivates me like it used to.”
Day 10: SCP-1190-1-D spent no time tending to the simulation.
Day 17: SCP-1190-1-D spent no time tending to the simulation. Subject appears to be immune to the compulsion to interact with SCP-
1190. Subject's stay of execution will be revoked, and subject will be remanded to general Foundation custody.
Experiment log, / /
“With SCP-1190-1-D's brain damaged, it appears that SCP-1190 no longer is able to exert a compulsive effect on the subject. While
some might call this experiment a failure, it presents a heretofore unavailable opportunity to let the simulation run its course
without intervention. The results of this "pure" simulation could be very interesting.”

Item #: SCP-1247
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: In the event of a containment breach, SCP-1247 is to be treated as a physically normal, untrained
human hostile. Personnel are warned that SCP-1247 is psychologically unstable and cannot distinguish between organisms. Use of lethal
force to detain SCP-1247 is not authorised.
SCP-1247 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell. Standard humanoid SCP containment procedures apply. The cell must
be proofed against penetration by vermin and insects.
No personnel may make physical contact with SCP-1247 unless they fit the following physical specifications:
Anatomically male
Height within 5 cm of 176 cm
Weight within 10 kg of 74 kg
Anatomically standard number and positioning of limbs, digits, and appendages (ears, nose, etc.)
Full specifications must be verified before physical contact with SCP-1247 can be authorised. Specifications may be waived during
relevant testing.
SCP-1247 is currently undergoing a process of psychological rehabilitation. To assist in this process, all personnel entering its
quarters must wear face-obscuring masks, and must not wear any clothing items or accessories made of or incorporating leather.
SCP-1247 is required to attend bi-weekly therapy sessions with Dr. Zhang from 3:00 pm on Tuesdays and Fridays. Session length should
not exceed one hour, but reasonable exceptions may be made at the discretion of Dr. Zhang. Dr. Zhang is required to wear a mask, and
must maintain a distance of one meter from SCP-1247 for the duration of all sessions. Dr. Zhang has emphasized that the comfort and
safety of SCP-1247 is paramount. An armed security agent must be present in the room for the duration of all sessions.
To ensure psychological stability of SCP-1247, meals provided must not contain meat.
SCP-1247 has requested that no mirrors be brought into its cell.
Description: SCP-1247 is a 37-year-old human male, formerly of , , United States of America. SCP-1247 is
biologically normal on almost all accounts. However, testing has revealed some atypical brain activity. Significantly, radiology has
revealed the absence of substantial areas of the cerebrum, which appear to have been displaced by the presence of foreign biological
matter from an unidentified living organism. This organism has been tentatively classified as a variety of fungus and bears
superficial resemblance to mushrooms of the genus Morchella, but has yet to be conclusively matched to any recognised terrestrial
species. There are currently no plans to remove this organism from SCP-1247.
SCP-1247 exhibits three anomalous effects.
The primary anomalous effect exhibited by SCP-1247 is psychological, and is observable only to SCP-1247 itself. When SCP-1247 is able
to observe a live animal, dead animal, or part of an animal, it perceives that animal as American film and television actor Shia
LaBeouf. This perceptual effect extends to all of SCP-1247's senses. Regardless of the actual size or shape of the animal, SCP-1247
perceives a life-sized instance of Shia LaBeouf.
Testing has determined that the body position and movements of Shia LaBeouf instances mirror the actual position and movements of the
animal as closely as possible without requiring a restructuring of Shia LaBeouf's actual anatomy. For example, an ant perceived by
SCP-1247 would take the apparent form of Shia LaBeouf scuttling in an ant-like way, but would be limited in its accuracy by Shia
LaBeouf's lack of a thorax, third pair of legs, and other anatomical features possessed by a true ant. Despite this imperfect mimicry,
SCP-1247 claims that Shia LaBeouf instances can perform the same physical feats as the animals they replace, even when this would be
physically impossible for the actual Shia LaBeouf. For example, a horse perceived by SCP-1247 took the apparent form of Shia LaBeouf
galloping on all fours at the speed of the actual horse, while a bird perceived by SCP-1247 took the apparent form of Shia LaBeouf
flying through the air by flapping his arms.
If SCP-1247 observes an animal that would typically lack the anatomical features of Shia LaBeouf, it perceives a normal Shia LaBeouf
instance regardless. For example, a worm perceived by SCP-1247 took the apparent form of Shia LaBeouf lying on the ground with his
arms and legs present, but seemingly paralysed. Similarly, if SCP-1247 observes a live or dead animal that is missing an anatomical
feature, or observes part of an animal, it perceives a full, anatomically complete Shia LaBeouf instance. For example, a cooked
chicken wing perceived by SCP-1247 took the apparent form of Shia LaBeouf, with one arm bent into a shape approximating that of the
cooked chicken wing. The instance of Shia LaBeouf perceived by SCP-1247 in this test was dead, like the chicken wing, but was whole
and uncooked.
Testing has determined that instances of Shia LaBeouf perceived by SCP-1247 reliably match the current physical condition and
appearance of the actual Shia LaBeouf. However, when SCP-1247 views parts of animals, or dead animals, the perceived instances lack
the presence of life, despite the continued life of the actual Shia LaBeouf.
The secondary anomalous effect exhibited by SCP-1247 is physical, and may be observed by others. When SCP-1247 interacts physically
with a live animal, dead animal, or part of an animal, it interacts with that animal as if it were Shia LaBeouf. This anomalous effect
impacts on size, weight, and anatomy of the animal as it is interacted with by SCP-1247. For example, in one test SCP-1247 was asked
to drag a Shia LaBeouf instance by its arm. Unbeknownst to SCP-1247, the Shia LaBeouf instance was actually a worm. Although the worm
possessed no arms, SCP-1247 was seemingly able to grab hold of an invisible arm, and accomplished the task with some difficulty. The
test was repeated, with the worm test subject replaced first by a human, then a cow, and then a chicken fillet. All tests had the same
result. SCP-1247 reported that the weight of all four test subjects was identical. Weighing later showed that this was not the case;
all four test subjects had weight appropriate to their true forms, even whilst held by SCP-1247. In a later test, SCP-1247 was asked
to sever an arm from an instance of Shia LaBeouf. This Shia LaBeouf instance was also a worm, and had no arm or arm equivalent.
Regardless, SCP-1247 reported the successfully severing of an arm. SCP-1247 was asked to describe the perceived arm, but reported
neither arm nor one-armed Shia LaBeouf, but rather two whole, dead Shia LaBeoufs, one of which then disappeared.
The exception to both of these anomalous effects involves a live animal, dead animal, or part of an animal that is located inside of
SCP-1247. When this occurs, the animal is perceived as it would be by a normal human, and physically interacted with as such.
Neither SCP-1247's primary nor secondary anomalous effects extend to photographs, recordings, live video, or other non-physical, non-
biological forms or depictions of animals. However, SCP-1247's primary anomalous effect does extend to any animals observed in a
reflection or through a lens. Neither SCP-1247's primary nor secondary effects extend to animal byproducts, or to organisms that are
not part of the kingdom Animalia. SCP-1247's anomalous effects have not yet been tested on a cellular level.
The tertiary effect exhibited by SCP-1247 is psychological, and is observable only to SCP-1247 itself. SCP-1247 is incapable of
viewing specimens of any species of morel mushroom, genus Morchella. This effect extends to live, partial, and dead specimens of morel
mushroom, as well as all non-physical, non-biological representations of morel mushroom where it can be reasonably identified as such.
This effect does not extend to textual descriptions of morel mushrooms. This effect does not extend to any of SCP-1247's other senses.
There is no corresponding physical effect.
Note: For a more in-depth study of SCP-1247's three anomalous effects, personnel may refer to Experiment Log SCP-1247.
The manner in which SCP-1247 is able to exhibit these anomalous effects is unknown. According to SCP-1247, none of these effects were
manifest before the year 20 . In April of that year, SCP-1247 purchased and viewed a video tape recording of the film 'Holes',
starring Shia LaBeouf. Approximately 30 minutes into viewing the movie, SCP-1247 was struck by a violent pain in the front of his
head, and blacked out for a period of time it estimates to be less than ten seconds. Upon awakening, SCP-1247 resumed watching the
film, and then went to sleep. At this stage, no anomalous effects had been observed. The next day, SCP-1247 exited its home and
observed what it perceived to be Shia LaBeouf, naked and digging through its garbage. Based on its reported behaviour, researchers
have determined that the supposed Shia LaBeouf was most likely a raccoon. This incident marks the first exhibition of SCP-1247's
primary anomalous effect.
Following this incident, SCP-1247 alerted police to what it believed to be the actual Shia LaBeouf behaving under the influence of
narcotics. SCP-1247 then took shelter within its home. When the police arrived, SCP-1247 exited the house, only to discover that both
of the officers present were Shia LaBeouf. SCP-1247's recount of the following events is confused due to the trauma endured by SCP-
1247, and SCP-1247's obvious perceptual disability. Researchers have determined that the most likely sequence of events is that SCP-
1247 fled the officers, encountered a flock of pigeons on the way to its car, and attempted to drive away. The presence of an insect
(believed to be a blowfly) in SCP-1247's vehicle led to a panic attack and subsequent crash. SCP-1247 attempted to physically assault
the blowfly. This incident marks the first exhibition of SCP-1247's secondary anomalous effect.
Following the altercation, SCP-1247 fled the car, and later the town of itself. SCP-1247 took up residence in an abandoned
cabin in the forest north of . At this stage, SCP-1247 believed that the instances of Shia LaBeouf were some sort of demonic
beings. SCP-1247 remained in the cabin for years, subsisting from water gathered through a rainwater tank, and by eating grasses,
berries, occasional scavenged food, and the flesh of Shia LaBeouf instances it hunted in the forest. Attempts by SCP-1247 to cut,
cook, or otherwise prepare its meat resulted in the same perceived outcome: whole, uncooked instances of Shia LaBeouf. For this
reason, SCP-1247 took to biting chunks out of the Shia LaBeouf instances. The true nature of SCP-1247's meals was revealed to it only
once the bite had been taken. It is believed that this uncertainty, combined with the psychological trauma of having to frequently
devour what appeared to be human bodies (as well as the constant trauma of being surrounded by supposedly-demonic Shia LaBeoufs), led
to an eventual psychological breakdown.
SCP-1247 was recovered from its cabin outside of following a police investigation of a recent homicide and cannibalism case,
thought to be related to the spate of animal slayings and mutilations around the area. After being taken into police custody, SCP-1247
attempted to explain its primary anomalous effect. Although police dismissed this effect as simple hallucination, it caught the
attention of embedded Foundation personnel. Foundation Agent was dispatched to investigate further, and took SCP-1247 into
Foundation custody after witnessing a display of its secondary anomalous effect.
SCP-1247's copy of 'Holes' has been recovered. Testing has determined no anomalous effects. SCP-1247 has expressed disinterest in a
second viewing.

Item #: SCP-1269
Special Containment Procedures: The property where SCP-1269 is located is to remain under the custody of the Foundation. No females 23
years of age or over are to enter the property except for testing purposes. One male researcher is to reside within the property under
the guise of the current resident, and is to monitor the behavior of SCP-1269.
Description: SCP-1269 is a black, aluminum curbside mailbox, possessing a red flag and a white, plastic post. SCP-1269 stands 1.3m
tall, with the mailbox measuring 49.5cm x 15.2cm x 17.7cm, consistent with the T2 mailbox size in the United States. The number is
printed on the right side. It lacks any manufacturer's marks, and has minor dents and abrasions, suggesting the object has been
present on the same property for some time. Due to the nature of SCP-1269's effect, the object is permanently located in ,
Massachusetts in front of house number on Avenue.
SCP-1269's anomalous properties will manifest only when a single female 23 years or older (hereafter referred to as "the occupant")
resides within the same property as SCP-1269. Approximately two weeks after the occupant moves in, SCP-1269 will start to manifest
unaddressed letters every four days. The contents of the letter are romantic in nature, and are targeted towards the occupant of the
house. Surveillance within SCP-1269 has shown the letters manifest approximately three seconds after the occupant's mail has been
delivered.
Exactly three weeks after the appearance of the first letter, SCP-1269's secondary anomalous properties will manifest. Letters will
begin appearing daily, with contents becoming increasingly more obsessive and erratic, until the point that letters regress into
single sentences. In some occasions, multiple letters will appear within SCP-1269. Additionally, when not under direct supervision of
the occupant, SCP-1269 will teleport to a location near the occupant and face them. This location will be partially obstructed, such
as behind windows, cracked doors, and shower curtains. Under special circumstances, such as during sleep or when obscured by darkness,
SCP-1269 will teleport near the occupant without obstruction. Whether or not the occupant relocates SCP-1269, the object will continue
to teleport between a range of one to five times every twelve hours. SCP-1269 will not follow the occupant off the property, and all
anomalous properties will cease manifesting after the occupant has either moved or expired.
Attempts to remove SCP-1269 from its location have so far been unsuccessful. SCP-1269 will teleport to its original curbside location
after one hour of relocation. If attempts are made to replace SCP-1269 with a new mailbox, the mailbox will be teleported away with
SCP-1269 appearing in its place. Approximately three hours after the disappearance of the new mailbox, it will reappear in a dumpster
25km away behind an abandoned franchise. Mailboxes recovered so far have all been found in varying amounts of disrepair,
within garbage bags, and covered in painted-on words and phrases.
Addendum SCP-1269-A: On 07/12/04, D-69124, a male, was moved onto the property with the current test occupant, D-72803, after seven
weeks had passed. SCP-1269 stopped teleporting at this time. Three days later, D-69124 disappeared from the property, causing SCP-1269
to resume all anomalous behavior.
Two weeks after disappearance, D-69124 was found in similar location as other replacement mailboxes. The subject was found within a
large garbage bag with severe bruising and lacerations, an apparently fatal blow to the head, and a lack of hands and lips. See
Documents SCP-1269-B for recorded phrasing.

I remember the day, the hour, the infinitesimal sliver of a second when I fell in love with you, realized I loved you and only you,
the moment my heart stopped and I lived for you alone.
Perhaps it was the way you carried yourself on the tired days, perhaps it was the way your eyes shone when a transient beauty
crossed your path; would you understand how I longed to be that butterfly dancing on the afternoon breeze, that small flower
struggling through sidewalk cracks, that passing swanlike cloud in the sky, how I longed to be anything that would catch your eye
and move your smile?
You pass by me each day, never sparing me more than a glance, but for me it is enough to carry me until the next day, as I wait to
next catch a glimpse of you and your unearthly beauty, your charming laugh and graceful step. I love the way you dance whenever you
walk, I love the way you tilt your head towards the sun, I love everything about you, I love you.
08/09/98
How could anyone describe one as perfect as you, vision of elegance and loveliness? Every action of yours I’ve observed is embodied
in the fragility and delicacy of a twirling snowflake, and yet you waltz into eternity with the softest of motion, in perfect rhythm
with the air and the world.
You are beautiful. Every step, every pause, every breath of yours is a masterwork of the divine. Your presence brightens the world
with a light that cannot be compared, you are the flower that nature cannot hope to match.
08/15/98
The color of your eyes reminds me of the depth and expanse of the night sky, a vast dazzling macrocosm of soft velvet and glimmering
pinpricks of light.

SCP-1341 during initial containment.
Item #: SCP-1341
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1341 is to be held in a containment locker, located on the grounds of Site-77. This chamber is to
have two guards monitoring it at all times. No arboreal objects are to be held in the same area as SCP-1341. Testing must be conducted
in a standalone structure, SCP-1341 cannot be brought into any building other than those specifically constructed to house and test
it.
Description: SCP-1341 is a mason jar made of red glass, with the words "JUNGLE IN A JAR" stenciled on the lid with black acrylic
paint. When SCP-1341 is in an inactive state, it weighs approximately 480 grams. Removing the lid when SCP-1341 is outside of an
enclosed space has no anomalous effect. If SCP-1341's lid is removed while it is indoors, it will begin to exude soil from the opening
at 10kg per minute. The soil will be continuously produced until all available space in the room it is contained within is filled with
this soil to a depth of at least ten millimeters.
Once the soil has reached this depth, several anomalous species of plants will begin to grow. Plants produced by SCP-1341
superficially resemble species found in tropical rain forests. However, DNA testing has shown that these plants do not correspond to
any known species. The plants will continue to grow until they have achieved the maximum size the area will allow. They take a maximum
of three days to reach full maturity, and once mature are resistant to temperatures of up to 500 degrees Celsius. The epidermal layer
of these plants measures an average of 7.6 on the Moh hardness scale. They have been shown to be resistant to all known types of
chemical defoliants.
An instance of SCP-1341-2
When the maximum amount of space the plants can take up is filled, several trees will begin to grow fruits, resembling fruits in the
genus Durio. Two to three weeks after these fruits begin to grow, they will fall from the trees and split open, allowing several
juvenile organisms (hereafter known as SCP-1341-2) to emerge.
Instances of SCP-1341-2 resemble vaguely simian bipeds, and are not hostile unless provoked. Instances of SCP-1341-2 exhibit behavior
patterns consistent with those of wild chimpanzees.[1] When the population of SCP-1341-2 has reached between twenty and thirty, the
area affected by SCP-1341 will expand to fill the largest enclosed space possible. The root structure of the plants within SCP-1341
will spread through the walls, ceiling, and floors of any artificial structure it has been placed within. New plants will begin to
grow from these root structures, until SCP-1341 has completely assimilated the structure.
1. Similarity between SCP-1341 and SCP-1513's ability to produce fauna from its flora has been noted. Investigation into a shared origin of the two anomalies is
ongoing.
Addendum 1341-1: Experiment 1341-A Addendum 1341-1: Incident 1341-A
On / /20 , initial experimentation on SCP-1341 was initiated. The following document was recovered from Site , after the site
did not make its monthly scheduled radio contacts with Outpost Delta. The site was found to be completely covered with plant
overgrowth, with all personnel stationed at the base currently listed as MIA. The following log is believed to have been compiled by
Dr. Boyd, former lead researcher of SCP-1341.
Day 01: We started the experiment on Phase 3 today. D-0981 was selected because of his previous cooperation on other safe objects.
We put the jar in the room we're holding him in and let it do its thing. Now, we just wait and see what happens.
Day 15: We finally entered Phase Three. D-0981 is behaving as expected, and so has the plant growth. Most of the chamber is covered
in vines and overgrowth, and several of the trees have begun sprouting.
Day 17: The test chamber has become impossible to enter from the main entrance, so we cut open a hole in the ceiling. Most of the
test chamber feels like a jungle now. D-0981 doesn't really talk anymore, he just walks around yanking up weeds. His hands are
pretty bloody from doing it, and he seems to be running himself ragged. I'm going to recommend the use of sedatives to make sure he
doesn't kill himself before we wrap this thing up.
Day 18: The test chamber is impossible to enter by any means. Both of our makeshift entrances are completely overgrown. However,
even though we aren't feeding D-0981 or making him sleep, he still seems to be active. Vital signs show he is stressed but alive,
despite not having eaten anything in at least three weeks. Putting in a petition to end the experiment to the director this week.
[ILLEGIBLE]
Day 20: It appears that SCP-1341's effect is beginning to spread outside the test chamber. The grounds have become completely
overgrown, and anything we had growing on site is growing out of control. I am going to send some agents into the test chamber to
retrieve SCP-1341 and terminate D-0981. If we don't stop this now, the whole site could be overgrown in a matter of weeks.
Day 25: The agents I sent never came back. They were in radio contact for a few days though, so at least it wasn't a completely
worthless endeavor. Apparently, the chamber has become even more overgrown since the last time we saw it. They reported sounds of
wildlife coming from inside the chamber. D-0981 was nowhere to be found. The plant growth out here has gotten a lot worse since we
sent them in. I'm afraid I will have to evacuate the base, as the continued rate of plant growth will render it inoperable within
the week.
Day 26: We can't leave. I woke up this morning to find that every door and window has been grown over by thick, heavy vines. None of
the equipment we tried using to break through worked. People are missing. Entire sections of the base are impossible to enter, and
Ernie went into the air ducts and never came back. We gathered all the resources we had, and we're going to try and find an
alternate means of escape tomorrow.
Also we aren't alone. There are creatures in the foliage. They watch from the denser patches. I haven't been able to get a good
look at them, but I know they're there. The reports said they weren't hostile I hope they were right.
Day 28: We accidentally killed one today. Martin was trying to access the armory and I guess it startled him. We found his body just
outside the armory entrance, just completely mutilated. And the smell there was the smell of a dead body, but not just that. There
was this thick, musky odor. Nobody but Martin knew the access codes to the armory, so I guess that plan is out the window.
I know they're out there still. If they didn't want to harm us before, they definitely do now. I hope god gives me the strength to
protect my staff and get us out of this mess safely.
Day 30: I think I might be the last one left. We tried so hard to get out. But it got all of us. Janice fell in a pit, and it was
filled with bamboo stakes. I still feel nauseous thinking of her. Albert got stuck in some vines, and we couldn't get him out. After
about a day, they had grown over him completely. I can still hear him crying. Lyra I don't know what happened to Lyra. All I know
is that once the lights went out, I never saw her again.
D-0981 is alive. Sometimes he talks over the PA system. He rants and raves about how we let this happen, we let the base fall and
become a "pit of weeds and depravity" as he puts it. Melodramatic bastard. I know that he knows where I am. I'm not going to play
this game with him. He wants to play hunter, but he's going to be sorely disappointed.
I'm going to take myself out first.
The remaining pages are blank.

Aerial view of primary dome and the nearest D-class domes, taken 11-02-1963
Item #: SCP-1350
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1350 is contained at Containment Area-52 (-8 ° ' . ", -1 ° ' . "). Any unauthorized
individuals approaching within 50km of the containment area are to be terminated on sight to prevent potential Delta events. Colonies
of Spheniscidae and other creatures are to be monitored and guided to prevent them approaching the Containment Zone.
Maintenance inspections of Containment Tracks Alpha and Beta and individual rotating platforms are to be conducted twice daily.
Personnel onsite not involved directly in maintenance operations are to remain inside the primary dome at all times. Observation of
SCP-1350 is restricted to cameras and motion sensors. At no time are personnel to directly observe SCP-1350, except in the case of a
Delta Outbreak event for the purposes of prolonging containment. Number of personnel in the primary dome should be limited to five
researchers and two D-class at a time if possible.
Twelve geodesic domes are positioned in a circle with a diameter of 300m, each dome connected by a dual underground track to the
primary dome. Each dome is to contain one D-class treated with Compound Iota[1], and strapped onto a rotating platform designed to
prevent movement of the head more than 10° in any direction. The interior of each dome is to be completely darkened when in use.
1. a combination stimulant, thought suppressant, and attention enhancer, designed to ensure the Class-D currently targeted will immediately focus upon SCP-1350
All D-class must be kept turned 180° from the current position of SCP-1350 except for the three D-class determined to be farthest away
from it when it crosses the current Threshold C.[2] The object's current target must be identified and kept focused on the object until
it crosses their Threshold C. Light and motion sensors are to determine the position of SCP-1350 at any given moment and adjust the
orientations of D-class subjects accordingly. In rotation, one D-class is to be changed out each hour, examined for continued
suitability for containment, and replaced as needed.
2. defined as a 30m radius around the currently targeted D-class dome
If an unscheduled Delta event occurs, the two nearest D-class are to be focused on the object, immediately lowered from their domes
onto containment track Beta, and moved to containment track Alpha. They are to continue moving there, altering speed as needed to
remain a constant distance away from SCP-1350 until it has returned to its original luminescence.
Once per month a Delta event is to be permitted in order to prevent a Kappa event.
If the object breaches the primary dome, all current occupants are to be terminated via fast acting neurotoxin to limit potential
Delta events. Recontainment will be handled by the secondary dome located 20km to the north. Resupply of D-class to primary
containment site and recontainment on containment track Alpha must be achieved as rapidly as possible. A secondary set of domes spaced
in a 12km diameter circle is to be put into use should more than 10 Delta events take place within a 15 day time period.
Should the secondary dome be compromised, the object must be led via Containment Track Gamma to Launch Site-52-a and Procedure Gamma-
12 implemented to give time to re-establish containment facilities. Path of the object through the solar system must be monitored to
identify the object's future point of re-entry.
Description: SCP-1350 is a floating, mobile point of light of unknown origins. The light emanating from it is not reflected by any
known material, but can be perceived by biological organisms or mechanical photosensitive equipment. SCP-1350 and its light pass
uninhibited through all known materials regardless of consistency or opacity. SCP-1350 will target and slowly accelerate[3] toward any
living creature massing more than 2488 grams. Target acquisition is determined primarily by maintenance of direct observation of the
object by a living organism, secondly by proximity of the target, and thirdly by the target's mass. It will cease movement and
instantly change targets should the situation change and make another target more favorable according to the criteria.
3. the object has variable acceleration, but has not been observed to accelerate faster than .05m/s²
Upon reaching a target, the object moves into the target's brain. Life signs of the target immediately cease. Regardless of the mass
of the target affected, the object immediately increases in volume, base speed, and apparent luminescence by exactly 22.7% -
classified as a Delta event. This becomes an exponential progression as additional Delta events occur.
These attributes decrease linearly at a rate of ~1.14% per day until the object reaches a minimum apparent diameter of .5cm, minimum
base speed of 4kph, and a minimum apparent luminescence of ~25,000cd. If it remains in this state for more than 24.2 days, it will
cease to be influenced by the direct observation criteria until a minimum of three Delta events have occurred - this is classified as
a Kappa event.
Through current containment procedures the object is maintained at a diameter of .5cm - 1cm and apparent luminosity of ~25,000cd -
~200,000cd. No upper limits to size, speed, or luminosity have yet been observed. Highest observed (2cm diameter, 327kph,
~1,650,000cd) occurred during Event 1350-27 in 1957.

Recovery Log SCP-1350
SCP-1350 was discovered on 06-02-1952 by Foundation Research Team -58, enroute to study SCP- . The object was first observed at
9:42pm, described in audio logs as "a kind of star moving toward us". The team consisted of 8 members, 6 of whom encountered Delta
events within the first 5 minutes of contact. Agent and Dr. , who had been setting up a communication beacon, observed this
encounter from a significant distance away and retreated immediately to call for backup. They maintained evasion for 15 hours before
being overtaken, providing most of the initial intelligence about the object.
Mobile Task Force Alpha-8, "Ice Breakers", was dispatched to determine the nature of the object and to establish preliminary
containment procedures. Contact with the object was established 06-04-1952, resulting in the immediate loss of 2 task force members,
and the progressive loss of another 10 members over the course of the following 2 months.
Further properties of the object were determined during this time, after which plans began to be drawn up for Containment Area-52.
Object delivered with no further casualties to the Containment Area on 09-29-1952.
No connection has been established between SCP-1350 and SCP- , and the object's original proximity to SCP- has been judged to be
coincidental.
Log 1350-27 Hide
Event Log 1350-27:
Initial containment procedures consisted of the primary dome and two additional buildings with D-class being instructed to face the
object and turn away in alternating intervals. Construction of four D-class domes and Containment Track Alpha took place during this
time. This was originally deemed to be sufficient for containment, given a proper supply of D-class.
On 05-09-1953 this construction was completed, and official containment procedures began.
On 02-16-1959 a D-class unexpectedly died of a heart attack during containment procedures, resulting in a Delta event. Maintenance
prevented the timely movement of remaining D-class to Containment Track Alpha, resulting in the loss of all D-class in the containment
area. SCP-1350 then approached the primary dome, resulting in a Delta Outbreak event and the loss of fourteen additional personnel and
D-class.
Secondary dome personnel took over and led the object on a circular route for a period of 22 days, with the loss of four additional
personnel. Emergency personnel arrived to repair the primary site and revise containment procedures. Immediate construction began on
the secondary ring of domes, and containment was transferred to them on a temporary basis. Containment Track Alpha was prepared, and
the object was transferred there on 06-29-1959. Eight additional domes and tracks were added to the primary ring, completed 02-11-
1962, after which current containment procedures were initiated.
Addendum 1350-01:
The object's origins are unknown, but it is highly probable that Team -58 was the first group of living creatures it had
encountered since its appearance, [DATA EXPUNGED] At this velocity containment would be impossible. Subsequent contact with all life
exceeding 2488 grams is currently estimated [O5 CLEARANCE ONLY, SEE DOCUMENT 1350-K]
Investigation into the object's possible original path to the location of its discovery has thus far been fruitless. However, [DATA
EXPUNGED] Observatories are to be directed not to observe this phenomena.
Events 1350-14 and 1350-79 have proven the dangers of attempting to test the object's parameters. Further experimentation on SCP-1350
is forbidden.
SCP-1350 must be prevented from coming within 200km of the ocean at all costs.

Item #: SCP-1356
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1356 is kept in a small box in the storage facilities of Research Sector-09, unless approved for
removal and transportation.
Description: SCP-1356 is a small bath toy, resembling one of several generic "rubber duck" designs. Tests indicate that the object is
made of plasticized polyvinyl chloride. It is designed to emit a sharp "squeak" when squeezed.
When held by a human subject, the object appears to displace liquid water. If a subject holding the toy attempts to enter a lake or
pool, for example, they will find that all liquid within an area extending approximately 152.4 x 81.3 x 45.7 cm from the body
disappears.
Tests performed in a small indoor pool revealed that the approximate volume of water before and after exposure to SCP-1356 remained
consistent. However, even in the presence of a subject holding the anomalous duck, water levels were never observed to rise. This
suggests that the object displaces the liquid to an unknown location, from which it eventually "returns". No unusual or foreign
substances have yet been detected in "displaced" water, although pH levels indicate a slight increase in acidity.
As the depth of displaced water never exceeds an average of 46 cm, a subject walking into a deep pool will eventually find their feet
and legs submerged, while the rest of the body remains dry. Even vigorous motions and leaps, however, never suffice to bring the upper
body into contact with water— the rectangular "dry space" seamlessly shifts to accomodate even the most abrupt movements. Testing to
discover the parameters of this phenomenon, as well as potential practical uses, are ongoing.
See enclosed documents for updates and results.
Excerpt 1: Tantalus Effect
Objective: Determine parameters of "dry space".
Procedure: Subjects of various heights instructed to enter water with SCP-1356 at depths never exceeding subject's shoulder-height.
Subjects encouraged to make every effort to bring hands or face into contact with the water surrounding the "dry space" created by the
object.
Results: So long as the subject is in standing-depth of water, the "dry space" will shift in accordance with the subject's motions—
appearing to create a mobile, rectangular indent in the water. This phenomena, for unknown reasons, does not apply to the lower
extremities in depths exceeding 46 cm.
When test subject bends, water recedes rather than come into contact with hands or upper body; "dry space" appears to maintain its
shape and volume as a rule. If subject at sufficient depth bends to the point of resting on hands and knees, the "dry space" will be
covered over with water; subjects report no change in air pressure, however, breathability of air is limited.
The greatest depth at which this total submersion of subject and "dry space" could be achieved was approximately 1.5 m, dependent on
height of subject.
Excerpt 2: Insufficient Life Raft
Objective: Determine whether "dry space" displacement can be used to keep subject afloat in deep water.
Procedure: Four subjects of sufficient strength and flexibility instructed to carry SCP-1356 into water of a depth of 2.5 m, and
attempt to draw legs up into "dry space".
Results: All subjects report the same results, with variable degrees of difficulty and time elapsed before exhaustion. The following
"rules" have now been consistently demonstrated:
1) Once subject is out of standing-depth, "dry area" SCP-1356 creates around subject maintains its shape, volume, and orientation at
the surface of the water.
2) Out of standing-depth, subject's orientation inside of "dry area" becomes fixed— floating at waist-depth. Subject will now be able
to submerge hands and forearms in water below waist-level, but any attempt to raise this water in handfuls is impossible.
3) Attempts to re-orient upper or lower body inside "dry space" are exhausting, but prove fruitless; in addition, remaining in this
suspended state for more than ten minutes negatively impacts the circulation of blood to the lower body, eventually resulting in
intense cramping and faintness.
Excerpt 3: Sinking Test
Objective: Test object's anomalous properties when not carried/in contact with human subject.
Procedure 1: SCP-1356 placed in a small pool.
Results: Object does not displace any amount of water, or affect pH levels in any significant way; object floats.
Procedure 2: SCP-1356 placed in a small pool, and bombarded with jets of water and various items.
Results: Despite the object's pliant PVC materials being easily damaged outside of water, when placed in any volume of water
sufficient to keep it "afloat", object appears to resist all attempts to sink or damage it— bobbing, but always remaining upright and
afloat.
"Well, with this object's origins in mind, these results might be a prompting to examine the events and outcomes of Incident F-1992
more closely; always struck me as our business." - Dr. Dhruva
Addendum 1: Prolonged exposure to SCP-1356 (hereafter defined as a sustained interval approaching or exceeding two hours, in any depth
of water) appears to affect the subject's skin, which takes on the "prune-like" texture associated with autonomic nerve responses to
prolonged contact with water.
After 2.5 hours of exposure a subject was also found to be significantly dehydrated, despite receiving fluids before exposure to SCP-
1356 and sweating minimally.
Addendum 2:
Of course, it seems we haven't been testing the item's intended purpose; I'd imagine my nephew would say it works rather well. - Dr.

SCP-1423.
Item #: SCP-1423
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1423 is to be contained in a standard containment locker, located in Site-77's Safe SCP wing. No
personnel are to come into physical contact with SCP-1423, and any who have done so are to be treated as cognition hazard victims, and
removed from active duty. Personnel assigned to research SCP-1423 are to be given full psychological evaluations every 4 weeks to
detect if they have been affected.
Description: SCP-1423 is a Polaroid photograph, circa 1976. It depicts several unidentified teenagers, and is believed to have been
taken in the summer of that year. The message "We've had a great year, haven't we?" had been written on the back of SCP-1423 in
charcoal.
Whenever SCP-1423 is held by a human subject, they will suffer a memory altering effect. Over the next several weeks, the subject will
show a tendency to reminisce about the last summer vacation they experienced in high school.[1] Testing has shown these memories are
accurate, and that SCP-1423 affected subjects have an unusually high rate of accuracy from these memories.
1. Subjects who never attended high school, or never had a summer vacation will report the last summer they experienced.
SCP-1423 affected subjects will attempt to revisit locations from their vacation, such as concerts, cities, amusement parks, farms,
hometowns, and will attempt to contact other subjects whom they contacted during that period. When revisiting these locations,
subjects will express feelings of regret that they didn't experience as much as they could have. They may attempt to recreate the
experience, however all subjects attempting to do so have reported immense dissatisfaction.
Following this change, subjects will become highly possessive of SCP-1423, claiming that it documents their experiences. They will
begin experiencing dreams of idealized versions of their vacation, which will increase in clarity the longer they possess SCP-1423. In
several cases, SCP-1423 affected subjects would begin keeping journals based on their dreams. If SCP-1423 is not removed from the
subject's possession at this time, they will neglect all activities that do not relate to SCP-1423.
However, after 3-5 months of exposure, subjects will begin to document major alterations to their dreams. Subjects may report elements
not found in their vacation, instead claiming that they are no longer able to remember their dreams "properly." They will continuously
attempt to utilize SCP-1423's effects, with each dream becoming longer and less related to their original experience. This effect will
persist indefinitely.
SCP-1423 was recovered from the home of , who had been reported missing by his neighbors. After local authorities reported on
SCP-1423's anomalous effect, Foundation personnel were able to intervene and suppress the reports. Class-C amnestics were administered
to witnesses. However, had been previously administered amnestics in 1976, after he was present at Kirk Lonwood High School
during Incident-SCP-332-A. Class-A amnestics were given to Mr. , and investigation into this connection is ongoing.
Addendum: Documents recovered from an SCP-1423-affected subject.
It's endless, and never-ending, and all those other words for too damned long. We've got our vans and the roads ahead, but we never
get anywhere. We're always "closer" to the concert. Well, it's a concert today. Yesterday we were headed to Miami, to go and see the
coral castle. Last Tuesday it was Washington, to get together with the suffragists. Suffrage? God, that ain't right. We ain't right
about anything.
I really, really want to just grab Jerry in his fucking face and yell HEY WE'RE NEVER GETTING ANYWHERE ITS JUST THE SAME SHIT, YOU
DUMBASS WHEN DO WE GET THERE but he won't hear, because I won't say it. I'm relaxed here and rolling through the hills of
technicolor grasses and farms. We passed the Boyd farm about 11 times yesterday, and every time it had the same rusty gate out
front. I think I saw someone resting on the porch once, with depraved, hollow eyes that followed down the road
It wasn't swamp gas.
You almost look forward to class now. Class? God, I haven't thought of going back to class in months, maybe years. I remember seeing
that tightwad Nathan, with his stupid face and rusty glasses. Man, I used to want to punch his mug every time I saw it, with that
dumb, oblivious grin. Shit, if I saw him now… I dunno. Maybe I'm over-thinking this.
We'll be at the concert tomorrow anyways. I can't wait to see Amy again
Roads go on, climbing up the cracked highway. Jamie tried to buy back his soul, with a dime he found under the cushion. Stuck it in
like a penny arcade, and we watched him spin. The sun's ahead of us, burning and crumbling with some light dancing between the trees
lining the road. They aren't trees, really. More like puppy dog tales, wriggling in the wind. Found the postcard from Dad again.
Hopes my vacation will be as good as the one he took.
I hope he's wrong right.

SCP-1461, prior to containment.
Item #: SCP-1461
Special Containment Procedures: Site-6 has been constructed around SCP-1461. Task Force Lambda-30 ("Whiskey Tango Foxtrot") is on
permanent assignment to reinforce Site-6 security. Any unusual activity from SCP-1461 is to be reported to on-site Level 4
supervisors, who will implement A4-7 Daybreak procedures at their discretion (see Site-6 standard procedures guide). Any operatives
entering SCP-1461 should be fitted with full NBCA (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical, Anomalous) protection and armed escorts. SCP-1461 is
considered a high-priority target for the organization known as the Church of the Broken God, who have made attempts to breach
Site-6 and access SCP-1461 since 19 .
Description: SCP-1461 is an English manor (circa 1890) with attached sub-levels. It came to the Foundation's attention on November
1941, when the dwelling and its sub-level facilities vanished, then rematerialized after an eleven day period of absence. The surface
portion of SCP-1461 is a two-level dwelling with twelve bedrooms, four baths, three studies, a main foyer/ballroom, a library, a
kitchen, and a pantry-basement. Most of these rooms were converted into simple barracks prior to Foundation acquisition and are
believed to have been dwellings for the cult. Site-6 Staff have reinforced the structure and use the available space to house
monitoring rooms and security forces. No anomalous activity has ever originated from the manor itself.
The sub-level facilities are accessible through the manor's basement. The layout and size of the sub-level facilities have yet to be
accurately measured, due to the anomalous qualities of the facility and hostile entities within. The facility is constructed primarily
from concrete, iron, and brass; but also a number of exotic and/or unknown materials. The layout of the facility follows illogical
routes and architecture: for example, doorways open into solid walls or open chasms, stairwells ascend into empty space, etc.
Extensive damage is apparent throughout the facility. Certain sections have caved in and are filled with an unidentified grey
sandstone that exists nowhere on the Foundation's expanded periodic table of elements. The facilities also contain a wide array of
anomalous artifacts both active and neutralized (see Inventory Document I-1461-Current). It is unknown whether the facility's erratic
layout and artifacts were present prior to SCP-1461's disappearance, or if they were introduced during said absence.
The sub-level facilities are extremely hazardous, with an extensive array of moving mechanical apparatuses, gear works, pistons,
steam-pipes and coolant tubes that lack appropriate safety measures. The machinery is maintained by strategic placement of nozzles
that dispense a black, mucus-like substance which is highly corrosive to organic materials, but also serves as a coolant and
lubricant. Some sections appear to be emitting strong gamma and X-ray radiation, registering 75 counts per second at their highest
recorded reading. The source of this radiation is unknown as none of the machinery appears to be constructed with or houses
radioactive components.
SCP-1461-1 instance, formerly Agent . Body recovered from Incident-C-13-1461.
SCP-1461 contains approximately fifty-seven humanoid entities (including seven former Foundation personnel) designated as SCP-1461-1.
These entities, through an unknown process, have been augmented with crude mechanical implants in an as-of-yet undiscovered section of
SCP-1461. Each instance of SCP-1461-1 has been uniquely augmented, with little uniformity between them. The majority have been
augmented with metallic teeth and claw-like protrusions on their hands, giving them lethal close-quarters combat ability. Other
augmentations include iron bolts haphazardly grafted to the subject's bones, severe reinforcement to the spinal column, and the
replacement of one or more organs with prosthetic equivalents. SCP-1461-1 appears to possess no higher brain functions or retain any
sense of self, acting entirely on canine-levels of instinct and intelligence. Instances stick to one- or two-unit groups, build easily
hidden or defensible nests, and attempt to collect food cannibalized from one another or from intruding Foundation staff. All
instances of SCP-1461-1 are considered extremely hostile.
It is theorized that SCP-1461 itself may "command" SCP-1461-1. The speaking-tube system throughout the facility has been observed
emitting loud metallic shrieks that cause SCP-1461-1 to retreat from an area. In other encounters, a metallic odor identified to be
blood filters through the ventilation system, drawing SCP-1461-1 to the marked location. The frequency and accuracy at which SCP-1461
scent-marks areas currently occupied by Foundation personnel suggests some kind of guiding, hostile intelligence.
At least four instances of SCP-1461-1 have received additional augmentation, replacing their esophagus and lungs with a phonograph
device powered by SCP-1461-1's own motions. These phonographs emit a constant, repeating stream of speech peppered with religious
symbolism, but has provided no clues as to its creator or purpose.
Addendum: According to records from 1941, the manor was owned by a Mr. and his family. A World War One veteran, Mr.
was injured during the Battle of the Somme and shipped to a London hospital shortly before the war's end. His experiences
appear to have had a profound psychological effect, giving him a nihilistic view of society. He constructed SCP-1461 with the intent
of somehow ending or escaping the world. More information can be extrapolated from his journals, recovered from within SCP-1461 (see
Evidence Summary V2008-5). It is believed that Mr. had anywhere from fifty to a hundred employees helping him in this task, the
majority of whom eventually re-organized into a cult devoted to SCP-1461. An unknown number of these followers were present in SCP-
1461 when it vanished, along with Mr. , his wife, and two children. To date, only six of these individuals have been accounted
for.
Shortly after SCP-1461 rematerialized, unknown individuals entered SCP-1461 before Foundation agents could contain the site. These
individuals are believed to have been members of Mr. 's fellowship, who had not been present in SCP-1461 when it vanished. They
successfully extracted a number of potentially anomalous artifacts that have yet to be cataloged or recovered.
Sample Obtained from Gel Production Room
Partial List of Cataloged Anomalous Rooms

Of the twelve sub-levels discovered by Foundation personnel, only 75% of its layout has been properly mapped, and an unknown number of
levels are believed to exist further below. Each sub-level contains excavation, construction and storage rooms, as well as rooms
exhibiting Safe or Euclid-level anomalous qualities and/or artifacts. For a full list of anomalous SCP-1461 rooms, refer to Document
I-1461-Current.
Gel Production (Sub-level Three): An automated factory that melts down the unidentified grey sandstone into glass, forms them into
canisters, and fills them with a green viscous gel made up of a variety of exotic chemicals. Some of these jars contain fully-formed
teeth and organs whose DNA patterns match nothing found on earth. Most of the jars have become inert, and their contents have
decomposed. The gel-production machine itself has been crushed by a cave-in.
Pipe Hall (Sub-Level Four): A hallway lined with approximately 2,450 pipes, constructed from brass, iron, copper, gold, bamboo, carved
jade and [DATA EXPUNGED]. Some kind of substance can be clearly heard being pumped through the pipes, but their origin and destination
are unknown.
"Factory Deliveries" (Sub-Level Seven): A large, unlit warehouse filled with wooden crates of various sizes. Unlike other storage
rooms, which contain mundane materials from non-anomalous sources, the crates in this section are blank or branded simply with
"Factory Deliveries." Irregular patrols of the warehouse have revealed that the number and arrangement of crates changes, but as with
the Pipe Hall, their origin and destination are unknown. On at least one occasion, muffled vocalizations could be heard coming from
somewhere within the warehouse, but their source was never discovered.
Orb Room (Sub-Level Ten): [DATA EXPUNGED]
Speaking Tube Room (Sub-Level Eleven): The multitude of brass speaking tubes connecting SCP-1461 appear to converge in this room on a
large central pulpit. The partial remains of a human female have been recovered here, with evidence to suggest the body (specifically
skin and intestinal organs) was used to perform crude repairs to some of the damaged tubes.
Catalyst Room (Sub-Level Twelve): A large chamber filled a random assembly of gears, cables, pulleys, screws, and belts, all made of
an amalgam of iron, tin, gold, and other metals, some as of yet unidentified. The assembly has suffered extensive damage, with
evidence that a large section (approximately 12 cubic meters) has been violently removed. The location of this section is unknown. An
elevated platform is suspended directly over the assembly. The platform features a metallic bed with the desiccated remains of a human
male. The corpse's chest has been pierced by large syringes connected to a pumping machine, its design suggesting that it pumped fluid
extracted from the syringes into the missing portion of the machinery below. At regular forty-five minute intervals, the assembly
attempts to self-start, but its existing damage prevents initialization. Friction heat-buildup eventually results in an emergency
shut-down that lasts until the machinery has cooled enough to make another attempt. Item V2008-5 was recovered from the hospital bed.

Item #: SCP-1471
Special Containment Procedures: All mobile devices that have SCP-1471 installed are to be confiscated and analyzed for any potential
leads to other possibly affected devices. Afterwards, affected devices are to have their batteries removed, be assigned a designation
(e.g. SCP-1471-#), and be placed in Storage Unit-91 at Research Site-45.
All online application stores for mobile devices are to be monitored to prevent any inadvertent sales of SCP-1471. Suspected devices
are to be targeted using self-uploading malware in order to disable the device until it can be seized by field agents.
Description: SCP-1471 is a free 9.8MB application for mobile devices named "MalO ver1.0.0" in online application stores. SCP-1471 has
no listed developer and is somehow able to bypass the application approval process to go directly to distribution. SCP-1471 is also
able to avoid removal by other program manager applications.
After SCP-1471 is installed, no icons or shortcuts are created for the application. SCP-1471 will then begin to send the individual
images through text messaging every 3-6 hours. All images will contain SCP-1471-A either within the background or foreground. SCP-
1471-A appears as a large humanoid figure with a canid-like skull and black hair.
During the first 24 hours following the installation of SCP-1471, the mobile device will receive images taken at locations commonly
frequented by the individual. After 48 hours, the mobile device will receive images taken at locations that were recently visited by
the individual. After 72 hours, the mobile device will receive images of the individual in real time with SCP-1471-A appearing within
close proximity to the subject.
Individuals with >90 hours of exposure to these continuous images will begin to briefly visualize SCP-1471-A within their peripheral
vision, reflective surfaces, or a combination of the two. Continued exposure to SCP-1471 after this point will cause irreversible and
sustained visualizations of SCP-1471-A. Individuals at this stage have reported periodic attempts made by SCP-1471-A to visually
communicate with them, but fail to understand or comprehend these actions. Currently the only known treatment to reverse SCP-1471's
effect is to eliminate the individual's visual exposure to these images prior to 90 hours after installation. To date, no apparent
hostile activity has been reported regarding SCP-1471-A.

Item #: SCP-1499
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1499 is to be kept in a locked box guarded by two agents at all times. Testing involving SCP-1499
requires the authorization of Level 4 personnel is to be discontinued indefinitely. Test subjects are to wear a small full-duplex two-
way radio underneath SCP-1499 to maintain contact with researchers. Testing is no longer to be carried out by D-Class personnel due to
the risk of losing SCP-1499. Should test subjects enter any sort of danger, they are to remove SCP-1499 immediately.
Description: SCP-1499 is a Soviet GP-5 gas mask. A seal test performed on the object suggests that the object retains its original
functionality. The anomalous effects of SCP-1499 activate when a human places SCP-1499 on their head. Approximately one second after
SCP-1499 is fully secured on the subject's head, the subject vanishes from view, and is no longer detectable. The subject reports no
feeling of motion at this time. Testing has revealed that two-way radios remain capable of both receiving and transmitting despite the
subject being undetectable. Upon wearing SCP-1499, test subjects report completely different surroundings than they were in prior to
wearing SCP-1499. Subjects have reported that it appears barren and inhospitable, with tall black towers filling the area. Subjects
have also sighted entities in this landscape. These entities, designated SCP-1499-1, have been described as tall, nude humanoids with
dark skin that has a thick coat of an unknown viscous substance. Instances of SCP-1499-1 also have large amounts of eyes and mouths
covering their body. Upon removing SCP-1499 from their head, subjects reappear in the same location they were in when they put it on.

Dr. N : "Have you made contact with any instances of SCP-1499-1?"
Agent K : "Not yet. It's hard to tell. The lighting here is odd, I'm having trouble seeing much. I'll see what I can do."
Sounds of the agent moving quietly for approximately five minutes.
Agent K : "God damn. There's a large group of them up ahead. They're all moving together into a huge building."
Dr. N : "Can you describe the structure, Agent?"
Agent K : "Yeah, it's big. Very big. There aren't many structures around it. It is quite elaborate; I see a large amount of
towers and spikes. There looks like there's blood on it."

front. I'm going through it now."
Visceral sounds are heard for a few seconds.
Dr. N : "What was that, Agent?"

Agent K : "Not sure. Coming from further inside. I'm taking a look."
Sounds of grating and grinding heard coming from multiple sources.
Dr. N : "Agent? Agent, what do you see?"

Agent K : "Jesus- there's a lot of them in there. They're all in a giant group. Their mouths are all open, even the ones on
their bodies. I think that sound is coming from them. Can you hear that?"
Dr. N : "The sound is coming through, Agent. Try to get a better look."
Agent K : "Okay. They're all facing one direction. Let me see if I can look."
Sounds of grating continues for twenty seconds.
Agent K : "They're all facing one of them standing on a platform. There are large amounts of bodies around him. They've stopped
vocalizing and are all just looking at the one up front."
Loud visceral sounds return.
Agent K : "It appears the one in the front is- Hold on, I can't see. It's cutting open its own torso. There are some sort of
worm-like creatures spilling out of it."
Dr. N : "Agent, what is happening? I can't hear-"
Agent K : "Wait, above its head. I think I see- There's something in its torso that's creating some sort of light. There's a
beam going up from it into the air over his head."
Dr. N : "What's happening? Agent, keep talking."
Agent K : "I think it's opening some sort of portal. And I- It's summoning something. The entity is summoning something. I think
I see something coming through the portal- It looks like a massive version of one of the worms that came out of the entity's chest.
I think the glowing object in that entity's torso is holding the portal open. I- I can't let that thing through. I've got to stop
it."
Dr. N : "Agent?"
Sounds of the agent running and gunfire. The grating noise returns louder than before.
Sounds of stone objects and bodies falling down. Visceral sounds fill the air.

Agent K : "It's alright, I got-"
Agent looks at the heart in his hand and yells, dropping it.
End of log.
Addendum 1499-E: On Sunday, June 3rd, a man dressed in a suit and wearing a gas mask attacked the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in
Moscow, Russia during morning services. The man reportedly shot ten people, including a chanter and a priest. Six church-goers were
killed, and three others, including the chanter, are in critical condition. The suspect charged the front of the cathedral and
allegedly produced a knife and removed the priest's heart. The suspect then appeared to vanish entirely before multiple witnesses.
Moscow police have been unable to find any trace of the attacker.
Our operatives working undercover in Russian media and military are currently working to defuse the situation. Officially, the
attacker was a Nikolai Orlov, resident of Moscow, who was acting alone. Orlov went missing a few years ago, allowing our agents more
time to keep the situation under control. Agent K█████ is currently being detained for questioning regarding the situation. He
maintains his claim that everything occurred as he reported. Our recordings of Exploration 1499-D corroborate his story. When
questioned as to the reasoning behind his actions, Agent K█████ stated that he believed that what he saw being summoned had to be
stopped. Agent is currently scheduled for psychiatric evaluation. We cannot risk another incident. All testing involving SCP-1499 is
discontinued until further notice. All information regarding Exploration 1499-D is to be restricted to personnel with Level 5
clearance until the situation has been brought under control.
Detain Agents U█████ and C████████, as well as D-67393 for questioning. It is unknown at this time if the hallucinatory effects of
SCP-1499 have any permanent effects. I don't want to run the risk of one of our own agents seeing all of our researchers as
monstrosities and going on a shooting spree inside one of our facilities.

SCP-1507 under the original containment procedures
Item #: SCP-1507
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1507 is to be contained in wilderness observation cell-1b with standard security procedures.
Instances of SCP-1507 are tolerant of human activity, and are fond of playing with staff Staff members should not be allowed to access
SCP-1507 without being accompanied by security. Any staff members entering the enclosure must wear protective clothing covering the
head and body. Access is only permitted to inspect the cage and for research purposes. If SCP-1507 appears to be vocalizing more
frequently than is considered normal, the on-site sound-dampening speakers must be activated until the vocalizations cease.
Description: SCP-1507 is a set of 15 26 pink plastic lawn flamingos made in Coral Springs, FL. Instances of SCP-1507 have the same
behavior patterns as a normal specimen of Phoenicopterus ruber, but do not require feeding. Instances of SCP-1507 are vulnerable to
the same forces as ordinary plastic would be vulnerable to, such as heat and pressure. Testing has shown they do not possess any
complex intelligence.
Instances of SCP-1507 are universally hostile towards humans, and have been known to attack personnel who enter the enclosure by
dropping down on them, using their metal stands to create scratch wounds and puncture wounds in their victim's face and eyes. SCP-1507
will frequently appear docile until it attacks, leading to several cases of severe injury among research staff.
SCP-1507 was discovered on 09/18/1991, in Jacksonville, Florida. They first came to the Foundation's attention when the Foundation
followed up on a 911 call in which the caller claimed to have been attacked by several lawn flamingos. When the house the call
originated from was investigated, Foundation operatives found a man dead from puncture wounds, with 15 instances of SCP-1507 living in
the house. All members of SCP-1507 were contained at the scene, without incident. Since its containment, no major incidents have
occurred, and as such it has been classified as Safe. Amended, see Incident 1507-A and -B
Addendum: Incidents involving SCP-1507.
Incident 1507-A
SCP involved: SCP-1507

Location: Wilderness observation cell-1b
Description: On 04/12/2011, Researcher Boyd was playing with SCP-1507-8 during his break. During this time, SCP-1507-8 playfully
attempted to take food from him. Taking this as an aggressive action, Boyd knocked SCP-1507-8 to the floor, cracking the plastic
shell of the creature. After the incident, all instances of SCP-1507 have become highly aggressive towards staff members.
Containment procedures have been slated for revision, and in the meantime all staff members must exercise caution when going into
SCP-1507's enclosure.
Incident 1507-B
SCP involved: SCP-1507

Location: Wilderness Observation Cell-1b
Description: On 05/06/2011 SCP-1507 began to vocalize more frequently. In addition, these vocalizations were unique when compared to
any previously cataloged calls. Approximately 45 hours after the new calls were first observed, 11 new instances of SCP-1507
(hereafter referred to as SCP-1507 16-26) arrived at the site and breached the containment of all SCP-1507 instances. They proceeded
to attack site personnel, with previously unseen levels of aggressive actions and behavior.
During the breach they were hostile towards staff members, wounding 11 and causing 4 fatalities before being re-contained. Realizing
that other instances of SCP-1507 have been found to exist outside of Foundation containment, as well as being able to call to more,
the wilderness observation cell was upgraded with soundproofing equipment. SCP-1507 was then upgraded to Euclid status.
Addendum 2: It is currently hypothesized that SCP-243, or a similar anomaly, may be a possible origin for 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. Investigation is
ongoing.

Special Containment Procedures: All samples of SCP-1528 are to be kept in air-tight containers under restricted access at Site-77 in
Storage Locker 662. Approval of the project command authority is required for testing. When in containment, SCP-1528 is not to be
stored in containers with any complex or easily broken opening mechanisms. When being tested, a small amount should be stored in an
aerosol dispersal system. Testing of SCP-1528 with additional anomalous objects has been approved on a case by case basis.
The Foundation is currently in possession of 648 mL of SCP-1528.
Description: SCP-1528 is a blue liquid similar in appearance to commercial bleach-based cleaning products. When in liquid form, SCP-
1528 has no anomalous properties. However, it retains properties expected of bleach-based cleaning solutions, and as such should be
given caution when in transit.
The first sample of SCP-1528 was originally obtained on July 1983 at an urban flea market from a vendor who advertised it as a
"fix-all". Since then, samples of SCP-1528 have been discovered in various places, quantities, and containers with little to no
pattern. Areas where SCP-1528 is usually found include flea markets, local-based grocery stores, and one spontaneous appearance in a
Foundation maintenance personnel's storage area.
When dispersed in aerosol form and inhaled by a subject, SCP-1528 has an immediate, powerful psychological effect. If any object is
perceived as flawed or broken by the subject, and perceived to have SCP-1528 applied to it, the subject will undergo a sensory or
cognitive shift that is applied to their entire consciousness in order to correct the object's flaw. This effect does not subside
until the subject is unconscious. For additional details, please refer to the Addendum.
Addendum: SCP-1528 summary testing log.
Procedure: Subject requested to apply 5 mL of SCP-1528 to the object.
Subject: D-67365
Object: Illustration, hung on wall.
Object flaw: Illustration was hung crooked, at approximately 20° off-center.
Result: Subject tilted to the side and immediately lost his balance. The subject appeared to believe that the building was slanted to
the side at a 20° angle. While affected by SCP-1528, subject was not able to recall a time when the world was not tilted at a 20°
angle.
Subject: D-67365
Object: Illustration of a landscape.
Object flaw: Colors of landscape features inverted. (Yellow grass, Red-orange sky, etc.)
Result: Subject temporarily experienced extreme confusion and visual disorientation, followed by a return to normal behavior. Subject
did not report any abnormal effects, but it is believed that their ability to see color was inverted by SCP-1528.
Subject: D-67365
Object: Music and speaker system, playing "Ana Ng" by They Might Be Giants.
Object flaw: Song played at double speed.
Result: Subject began moving at an increased speed proportional to the tempo of the song's playback. Upon interview, expressed
annoyance at "slow movements" of researchers.
Subject: D-67365
Object: Thermometer
Object flaw: Incorrectly calibrated 30°C cooler
Result: Subject's body temperature immediately began rising. Subject complained of extreme pain due to cold, and fell unconscious
after 31.2 seconds; the body appeared to undergo symptoms similar to heat stroke. Analysis showed that at this time, D-67365's body
temperature was much higher than normal. After 15 minutes, D-67365 expired due to the extreme change in body heat.
Subject: D-76290
Object: Human subject(D-67431)
Object flaw: D-67431's face has been severely disfigured.
Result: D-76290 was repulsed at any subject attempting to interact with her, describing their faces and bodies as being "wrong." When
exposed to a reflection, D-76290 refused to believe that their face was being reflected, and became aggressive. Further testing on
human recognition has been scheduled by Dr. Gillespie.
For additional tests, see Experiment Log 1528.

Addendum-2: Additional testing.
Subject: Dr. Boyd

Object: 62-Page Document detailing the specifications of the theory of Special Relativity.
Object flaw: None inherent; before working for the SCP Foundation, Dr. Boyd, who is not a physicist, had expressed skepticism
concerning special relativity.
Note: Test resulted from accidental exposure.
Result: Dr. Boyd attempted to steady himself on a nearby desk, before collapsing into unconsciousness. This quickly alerted personnel
to his presence. Security Officer Fish restrained Dr. Boyd, and he was moved to the medical ward. Dr. Boyd reported he experienced the
"rapid upwards acceleration of the whole building."

SCP-1616 after successful sedation and containment.
Item #: SCP-1616
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1616 is contained in a ventilated 60 x 30 x 30 cm cage lined with small grates on the bottom for
waste materials. The area containing the cage is to be monitored at all times for possible breaches in the integrity of the wall of
the cage, and should be kept lit as dimly as possible. In the case of containment breach, a hatch is to be released connected to the
feeding grate at the bottom of SCP-1616's cage, releasing it into an identical cage beneath. A backup cage should be kept ready at all
times.
Sustenance is placed in the cage automatically in daily intervals by means of a small feeding chute. This chute should be readjusted
in the case of a minor breach of the cage.
At no time is SCP-1616 allowed to view photographs or illustrations.
As of Testing Event 1616-T3, no testing subjects with tattoos are permitted to enter the area.
Description: SCP-1616 is a common hamster with no genetic abnormalities. The subject behaves as a normal hamster would.
Anomalous properties of SCP-1616 present themselves when SCP-1616 begins feeding. One or both of SCP-1616's cheeks will expand,
containing an object previously seen by SCP-1616. If the object in question is inorganic, SCP-1616 will remove the object from its
mouth and ignore it. Similar feeding has been observed for most organic materials save for wood, which SCP-1616 will not completely
consume, but return to and nibble like a common hamster would for dental upkeep.
SCP-1616 typically consumes organic matter which appears in its cheek over a course of time if possible. SCP-1616 has been observed
producing carrots, hamster feed, candy, and substantial amounts of flesh from its cheeks. SCP-1616's cheeks will expand to accommodate
any matter it produces, in one case expanding to accommodate for the size of one baby elephant weighing 105 kilograms. SCP-1616 does
not suffer any trauma from the expansion, as the tissue appears to maintain density and composition as it expands.
SCP-1616's jaw will retract and expand to remove an object from its mouth. If the object in question is unable to be moved by SCP-
1616's power alone, it will usually be emancipated by SCP-1616 moving backwards away from the object. If SCP-1616 lacks the ability to
move away from the subject due to lack of traction, it will simply retract its jaw and regurgitate it, pushing itself away. As
assumed, SCP-1616 has difficulties consuming a still-living object depending on its size.
In the case of biological matter emancipated from organic subjects, nervous tissue seems to respond as if it were still in the host
body. Subjects report feeling pain as if it were happening under normal circumstances and nervous tissue was not disconnected at all,
suggesting a sort of connection between the inside of SCP-1616's mouth and the host subject.
Due to its nature it is recommended SCP-1616 not be exposed to any photographs or illustrations, especially those considered
dangerous. It is not confirmed whether or not SCP-1616's feeding process will be harmful, or successful to SCP-1616 with hazardous
objects.
SCP-1616 will emancipate small portions of matter from the cell wall, or its entirety at any given time. This occurrence is more
likely if the object is disturbed.
Test Log 1616-T6:
Dr. Breen: Place SCP-1616's cage onto the main testing table and release the lever.
D10293 releases the latch on SCP-1616's cage. SCP-1616 leaves the cage and onto the table.
D10293: Okay. Hey, he's kinda cute.
Dr. Breen: Continue observing SCP-1616 until instructed otherwise.
D10293: Can I pet him?
Dr. Breen: I don't see why not.
D10293 picks up SCP-1616 and begins stroking its head. D10293 later sets SCP-1616 down and begins observing.
No abnormal activity for twelve minutes.
D10293: Doc, this thing is really cute and all but can I just leave now?
Dr. Breen:
No abnormal activity for twenty minutes. SCP-1616 is now moving back and forth along the length of the table.
SCP-1616 pauses and sits on its rear. Its left cheek appears to expand three times in size.
D10293 begins screaming loudly.
D10293's eye begins receding into the optical cavity.
D10293: What the fuck! Oh, oh my god. Oh my god!
D10293 begins crying and banging on the door to the containment cell.
D10293: Get it the fuck away from me get it oh fuck please why!
D10293's left eye is gone at this point. SCP-1616's jaw appears to retract and expand, SCP-1616 is observed pulling the respective
eye out of its cheek, cleaning it, and nibbling on it for a few moments before placing it back in its mouth. An optic nerve is also
visible attached to the eye and leading into SCP-1616's mouth.

SCP-1631
The Ghost Vehicle

Wilson Score: 0.45
Original Version
Item #: SCP-1631
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1631 cannot currently be artificially contained. Thus far, SCP-1631 has only appeared on a two-
kilometer stretch of wooded road (SCP-1631-A) that leads into Forest in , Oregon. Due to the uncontainable, yet
predictable, nature of SCP-1631, Research Site-133 has been erected around SCP-1631-A. The Site consists of six kilometers of chain-
link fence topped with barbed wire, surrounding the road in a roughly elliptical shape. On the eastern side of SCP-1631-A is a
research bunker measuring a total of 200 square meters. The bunker should always be equipped with provisions and facilities to house,
at most, three researchers and five D-Class personnel.
When SCP-1631 manifests, all personnel not involved in an active test must confine themselves to the bunker and restrain themselves
until the instance of SCP-1631 has passed. While SCP-1631 is visible, its activities are to be recorded on Site-133’s closed circuit
TV network. After the passing of the apparition, details of SCP-1631’s activities must be recorded in the on-Site computer and
uploaded directly to Foundation archives.
Description: SCP-1631 is an anomalous manifestation that appears at random intervals on SCP-1631-A. SCP-1631 always takes the form of
an immaterial automobile of any make or model, as long as it has been disassembled prior to the manifestation of SCP-1631 (Note: this
is no longer the case; see Addendum 1631-01). Reports describing occurrences of SCP-1631 always depict it being made of dark, dense
mist or smoke.
When SCP-1631 appears, it seems to reenact a moment from the ‘life’ of the vehicle it is mimicking. Most of these moments involve
collisions with animals, humans, other vehicles, or trees. In a case where SCP-1631 acts out an event involving an animal or human, it
will “draw out” a suitable, nearby subject through unknown means. When the subject is chosen (typically two minutes after the
manifestation), they begin to quickly move to SCP-1631-A and take their place in the reenactment. If there is no direct path to SCP-
1631-A, the subject will attempt to move through obstacles to get there. Ten minutes after the choosing of the subject, SCP-1631 will
proceed with the reenactment with or without the subject present.
Addendum 1631-01: Test Results
Manifestation Logs
Note: Logs are classified as L or E. L-class logs are standard documentation of manifestations as per Special Containment Procedures.
E-class logs are experiment logs where a variable was intentionally changed in an attempt to produce a result.
Log Name: L-1631-07

SCP-1631 Description: Appeared as a 200 -model Dodge Ram pickup truck driven at approx. 80 kilometers/hour. License plate read “
.”
Results: SCP-1631 swerved to the left and collided with a tree shortly after manifestation. The apparition lingered for forty-five
seconds after crashing, and then abruptly disappeared. The tree appeared not to be damaged.
Log Name: L-1631-17

SCP-1631 Description: Appeared as a 20 -model Jeep Wrangler driven at approx. 97 kilometers/hour. License plate read “ .” The
Jeep appeared to drive itself: no one was visible controlling the vehicle.
Results: A small rabbit hopped onto SCP-1631-A and into the path of the right front tire of SCP-1631. After collision with the rabbit,
SCP-1631 swerved violently and flipped 180 degrees. SCP-1631 stayed in that position for two minutes before disappearing. The rabbit
was collected by Foundation personnel and incinerated.
Log Name: E-1631-01

Experiment Parameters: One D-Class subject (D-1038) was told to wander around Site-133, but remain near SCP-1631-A.
SCP-1631 Description: Appeared as a Volkswagen Beetle driven at approx. 76 kilometers/hour. License plate read “ .”
Experiment Goal: To establish a general baseline on the behavior of subjects made to aid in an SCP-1631 reenactment.
Results: D-1038 wandered around the compound, examining various features, until stopping abruptly two minutes after SCP-1631
manifestation. He began to walk slowly towards SCP-1631-A. When he arrived (approximate time: four minutes), he positioned himself in
the middle of SCP-1631-A. SCP-1631 abruptly manifested and began to move down the road. When SCP-1631 reached D-1038, they collided,
resulting in the amputation of both of D-1038’s legs. After the collision, SCP-1631 stopped for five seconds, and then drove off at a
speed of approx. 80 kilometers/hour and disappeared upon reaching the end of SCP-1631-A.
E-1631-01 Update: Five days after the experiment, the license plate number of the SCP-1631 manifestation was ran through a database of
vehicles involved in hit-and-run accidents. According to the results, the Beetle belonged to , who was arrested for suspicions
of vehicular manslaughter on 25/ /20 , one day after the experiment.
Log Name: L-1631-19

SCP-1631 Description: Appeared as a white Honda Element driven at approx. 80 kilometers/hour. License plate read “ .”
Results: Since no personnel were involved in an active test, all were restrained within the Site-133 bunker. When SCP-1631 manifested,
it paused at the beginning of SCP-1631-A, and Assistant Researcher attempted to break out of his restraints and get to SCP-1631-
A. The restraints held, and after ten minutes, SCP-1631 continued down SCP-1631-A. SCP-1631 proceeded as if Asst. Researcher was
there, colliding with what appeared to be thin air, but was unharmed. After the manifestation, claimed to not remember
trying to break free.
Log Name: E-1631-02

Experiment Parameters: One D-Class subject (D-1240) was misinformed that he was wearing an explosive device that would detonate if he
neared SCP-1631-A or left the confines of Site-133. D-1240 was also equipped with a chest-mounted camera that gave a live video feed
to the researchers controlling the test.
Experiment Goal: To see whether or not humans made to aid in SCP-1631 reenactments will disobey common logic to reach SCP-1631-A.
SCP-1631 Description: Appeared as a rusted truck of an unknown make and model, lacking a license plate.
Results: At first, D-1240 attempted to stay away from SCP-1631-A and the boundaries of Site-133 while yelling various obscenities
directed towards the SCP Foundation. Two minutes SCP-1631 manifested, D-1240 ceased all vocalizations and began to make his way
towards SCP-1631-A. Researchers noted that he appeared hesitant and moved erratically. D-1240 reached SCP-1631-A in eight minutes,
where SCP-1631 collided with him, killing him instantly.
Log Name: E-1631-03

Experiment Parameters: One D-Class subject (D-1704) was hooked up to an IV drip containing a concentration of ketamine for the purpose
of general anesthesia.
Experiment Goal: To determine if being unconscious is a suitable means of restraint against SCP-1631.
SCP-1631 Description: Appeared as a silver Chevrolet Celta, driven at approx. 80 kilometers/hour. The license plate was unreadable due
to dirt and mud.
Results: D-1704 was sedated without incident. Two minutes after SCP-1631 manifested, he appeared to suffer a very short seizure before
stopping all movement and returning to an unconscious state. SCP-1631 proceeded after ten minutes, and acted as it normally would
without a subject. D-1704 came out of anesthesia as normal and was unharmed.
Log Name: L-1631-21

SCP-1631 Description: Appeared as a dark-colored Dodge truck of unknown model, lacking a license plate. Further inspection revealed
the words “Dodge Primal” on the left side of the truck, and the number “2020” on the right.
Results: Twenty seconds after SCP-1631 manifested, a small rabbit hopped into SCP-1631-A. Upon approaching the rabbit, SCP-1631
swerved, causing [DATA REDACTED]. SCP-1631 then continued down the road, having only sustained minor damage.
Log Name: L-1631-30

SCP-1631 Description: [DATA REDACTED]
Results: [DATA REDACTED], causing the vehicle to ‘swerve’ and hit the top of a nearby tree. Upon collision, [DATA REDACTED]. The
resulting explosion was blamed on the illegal use of dynamite by poachers.
Note: Following L-1631-30, Researcher █████ requested the Site-133 bunker to be rebuilt using stronger materials due to the deaths of
█ personnel. The request is still pending.
Note: Following L-1631-30, all future SCP-1631 tests are to be cleared with at least one member of Level-4 personnel.
Note: Following L-1631-30, SCP-1631 has been changed from Safe to Euclid class by order of O5-█.

Item #: SCP-1657
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-1657 are to be kept in Frozen Storage at Site 23. Testing of these objects,
including the hatching of SCP-1657-A instances, requires approval from at least three (3) Level-3 personnel.
All SCP-1657-A instances are to be kept in separate humanoid containment chambers for the duration of their lives. A general feeding
schedule has been created for all SCP-1657-A; however, if it appears that any given instance requires a different diet or schedule,
Dr. Armstrong is to be contacted and consulted.
Description: SCP-1657 refers to a collection of seventy-four (74) eggs, ranging between 5 cm and 30 cm in length. They are normally
white in coloration, though occasionally pink and red colored eggs will also be found. SCP-1657 can be indefinitely kept at
temperatures between 0oC and 15oC. If these eggs are kept in conditions of a certain temperature and humidity, they will hatch and
yield specimens of SCP-1657-A. See Document-1657-Alpha for more specific details on the incubation of these eggs.
SCP-1657-A appear to be closely related to humans (Homo sapiens sapiens), except that they are not sapient, lack hair, nails, and
teeth, and are often deformed, sprouting extraneous appendages or organs during regular growth. Furthermore, once hatched, these
entities will grow to the size of an adult human and reach maturity in approximately thirteen (13) days, with the average total
lifespan being about seventeen (17) days.
SCP-1657-A instances are compliant and docile, as well as appearing to fear all living organisms. If the entity possesses sensory
organs, then it will use them to attempt to distance itself as far away as possible from all other beings. If these aspects are not
present, the entity will then only move away from something when touched. If left alone in a soothing environment for long period of
time, SCP-1657-A may produce additional instances of SCP-1657.
Testing has shown that members of SCP-1657-A possess a collective memory. Specifically, this was discovered during primary physical
endurance testing when SCP-1657-A-07 approached fire with curiosity and subsequently died. After this point, all individuals that
hatched showed great aversion and fear to fire. Testing with alternative stimuli has confirmed these results. See Test Log-1657-Kappa
for the full log.
SCP-1657 was originally found in , Tennessee, within the house of , a known high-ranking member of GoI- (
), and subsequently contained. Six (6) packages holding fifteen (15) instances of SCP-1657 each were found at this location and
subsequently contained. Each of these packages is labeled in the same manner with a flyer, as transcribed in Addendum-1657-Gamma.
Additionally, blood that was later identified as belonging to SCP-1657-A instances was found dried onto several surfaces and
appliances in ’s sink, refrigerator, and frying pans.
Addendum-1657-Gamma:

SCP-1667-1 at recovery site.
Item #: SCP-1667
Special Containment Procedures: All known articles of footwear affected by SCP-1667 are to be stored in Containment Locker 16 at
Storage Site-23. Due to the contagious nature of SCP-1667's effects, no shoes, boots, sandals, flip-flops, slippers, flippers, foot-
wraps, galoshes, moccasins or clogs are permitted to enter a 2 meter radius surrounding Containment Locker 16 without the prior
approval of Researcher Davis. Socks are permitted. On a fortnightly basis, one member of personnel with Level 1 security clearance
must carefully open Containment Locker 16 and reposition all footwear inside to its most north-westerly positions. In the event of a
containment breach caused by pressure-related internal damage to SCP-1667's container, all footwear affected by SCP-1667 is to be re-
contained and Containment Locker 16 reinforced.
Note: It is suspected that SCP-1667 may not be fully contained. In the event of a suspected instance of containment breach, a barefoot
Mobile Task Force must be sent to investigate.
Description: SCP-1667 is a contagion that spreads between almost any type of footwear. Any organism wearing or in physical contact
with an item of footwear affected by SCP-1667 is compelled to reach an unknown location deep below the central Pacific Ocean,
regardless of personal danger. Almost all items of footwear, the main exception being socks, are susceptible to contagion of SCP-1667.
Organisms affected by SCP-1667 will attempt to remain in physical contact with affected footwear. Humans under the effects of SCP-1667
are able to communicate semi-rationally but are primarily driven by their goal to enter the Pacific Ocean and may become physically
violent in order to achieve it. Class D personnel under the effects of SCP-1667 were able to use basic navigation skills to avoid
obstacles in their path yet always selected travelling on foot over the use of any type of vehicle. Footwear affected by SCP-1667 has
been noticed over time by staff slowly moving south-west in a linear pattern, at a rate of approximately 12.7cm per week. It is
speculated that the effects of SCP-1667 have caused many humans and possibly other land animals to drown with the appearance of
suicidal intent.
The first object discovered to be affected by SCP-1667 was a brown and red leather hiking boot (hereafter referred to as SCP-1667-1)
recovered from Beach, , New Zealand in 19 . The small town came to the Foundation's attention after seventeen people
were reported missing in the area within two months. Upon investigation it was discovered that several of the missing persons had been
seen near Beach on the days of their disappearances. Mobile Task Force - was sent to conduct a thorough search of the beach,
which led to the discovery of SCP-1667-1 and the effects of SCP-1667. The contagious nature of SCP-1667 was discovered when other
articles of footwear brought into SCP-1667-1's area of effect began to produce the same effects after a short exposure time.
members of Mobile Task Force - did not remove their boots during the recovery of SCP-1667-1 from Beach and in the resulting
chaos, [DATA EXPUNGED].
The following test log has been classified and any personnel requesting this data must have the approval of one member of personnel

Results: Subject was given an Atmospheric Diving Suit (ADS) with waterproof video camera and audio communicator attached and was
instructed to put on SCP-1667-12 and SCP-1667-13. Subject was then released from Beach and tracked to coordinates °S
°W. Once D-8268 reached this location, video feed was lost due to equipment failure and subject began noticeably increasing in
speed. Analysis of background noise in the audio feed and the muttered commentary of subject D-8268 indicated movement of an
underwater entity at least meters in length before [DATA EXPUNGED] resulting in the loss of audio feed and GPS tracking.
Notably, 3 minutes and 17 seconds before signal was lost, D-8268 claimed to observe [REDACTED] and ADS oxygen levels began
decreasing at a significantly faster rate. Investigation is ongoing. SCP-1667-12 and SCP-1667-13 presumed unrecoverable.
Audio File: The final minute recovered from SCP-1667 Audio Feed.
Further testing of SCP-1667 has been discontinued in order to prevent additional possible containment breaches.

Original Version
Item #: SCP-1669
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1669 is housed in a standard humanoid containment cell at Humanoid Containment Site-06-3. As a
former Foundation researcher, SCP-1669 is considered a low-risk humanoid SCP and may request items or materials at the discretion of
Level 3 Security Staff so long as such materials do not violate any security protocols.
SCP-1669 is aware of its classification as a Euclid-class anomalous entity but is not aware of the specifics of its containment, nor
of the nature of 1669-Alpha events. Disclosure of this information to SCP-1669 is punishable by immediate transfer and/or termination;
in the event of such disclosure, SCP-1669 is to be administered a Class A amnestic. All deceased instances of SCP-1669 are to be
stored in separate cryogenic freezers following examination and autopsy.
Until such time that a better understanding of 1669-Alpha events is made, all experimentation regarding and attempts to prevent such
Events are indefinitely suspended.
Description: SCP-1669 are instances of human subjects matching the description of Dr. Daniel Isaac, an Israeli biologist and Level 2
Assistant Researcher and laboratory technician formerly employed by the Foundation at Humanoid Containment Site-06-3 until his
classification as a Euclid-class entity on / / . Due to SCP-1669's status as a former Foundation employee and the nature of its
anomalous properties, SCP-1669 is mostly cooperative with Foundation personnel as long as full disclosure of its anomalous properties
and Event 1669-Alpha is not made.
Event 1669-Alpha is an anomalous event that first occurred on / / and has re-occurred approximately every one hundred and sixty
one (161) days since, with a margin of error of approximately thirty-three (33) hours. During a 1669-Alpha Event, a perfect copy of
SCP-1669 will spontaneously come into existence somewhere within 30 meters of SCP-1669 and immediately attempt to kill SCP-1669 by any
means possible. The newer instance of SCP-1669 will not respond to any attempts at communication and exhibits extraordinary single-
mindedness in the completion of its goal; it will attempt to limit collateral damage — especially injury or loss of life — but will
not stop until the previous instance of SCP-1669 is dead. To date, no attempt to prevent the death of the previous instance of SCP-
1669 has succeeded; new instances of SCP-1669 have exhibited unusual strength, speed, and reflexes as well as the capability to shrug
off or ignore pain and injury. See Addendum 1669-01 for more information.
Upon the death of the previous SCP-1669 instance, SCP-1669 will lose consciousness for a period of no less than three (3) minutes, and
upon returning to consciousness will have no recollection of any event prior to the initiation of Event 1669-Alpha. Examination and
autopsy of SCP-1669 instances has yielded that they are exact copies aside from whatever clothing or equipment they are wearing or
carrying at the time, down to the presence of birthmarks, minor injuries, and scar tissue.
Investigation of the work history of Dr. Isaac has not yielded any anomalous items or contained objects which can explain SCP-1669's
anomalous properties; as a Level 2 laboratory technician, Dr. Isaac did not have any direct contact with objects in containment.
Addendum 1669-01: Log of Notable Event 1669-Alpha Iterations
Iteration #: 1
Date: / /
Time: 15:21L
Description: During a brief conversation with coworker Dr. outside of Biological Laboratory 3, SCP-1669-1 appeared
from a nearby hallway, walked up behind Dr. Isaac, and stabbed him thirteen (13) times in the torso with a scalpel. Dr. Isaac died
within approximately twenty-three (23) seconds, upon which SCP-1669-1 lost consciousness.
Note: All clothing and carried items on SCP-1669-1 were identical to that of Dr. Isaac, including the serial number and wear pattern
on a twenty-dollar (USD$20) note Dr. Isaac had received as the result of a bet with a coworker approximately fourteen (14) minutes
before the event.
Iteration #: 2
Date: / /
Time: 11:08L
Description: SCP-1669-2 appeared out of a large air vent near SCP-1669-1, who had been transferred into a low-security cell following
one hundred and sixty two (162) days of observation. SCP-1669-2 entered the cell and strangled SCP-1669-1 before security guards were
able to respond, upon which SCP-1669-2 lost consciousness. Examination of the HVAC system showed no possible way in which an adult
human could have gained access to the containment wing.
Note: All clothing and carried items were identical, except that the jumpsuit worn by SCP-1669-2 was yellow instead of the regular
orange.
Iteration #: 8
Date: / /
Time: 09:17L
Description: With prior approval from the Site Director, SCP-1669-7 was informed of the nature of Event 1669-Alpha and given body
armor and a non-lethal firearm prior to the event. Response team members armed with additional non-lethal weapons were assigned to
guard SCP-1669-7 with orders to attempt to subdue and take SCP-1669-8 alive if possible. SCP-1669-8 appeared during a shift change for
the response team; during the confusion, SCP-1669-8 managed to subdue three (3) armed personnel in hand to hand combat before reaching
SCP-1669-7 and shooting it twice in the head with a high-caliber handgun. The non-lethal weapons employed by response team personnel
appeared to have no effect.
Note: SCP-1669 exhibited advanced training in hand-to-hand combat techniques in this iteration, which is inconsistent with the level
of defensive capability known to be in SCP-1669's possession outside of a 1669-Alpha event. This iteration is also notable as the
first iteration in which a new instance of SCP-1669 appeared with a weapon or equipment not in the possession of the previous
instance.
Iteration #: 12
Date: / /
Time: 23:22L
Description: Prior to Event 1669-Alpha, SCP-1669-11 was locked inside an armored personnel carrier crewed and guarded by two heavily
armed squads from Mobile Task Force [REDACTED]. MTF - was given discretionary permission to protect SCP-1669-11 using any means at
their disposal, up to and including the use of lethal force. SCP-1669-12 appeared wearing heavy body armor and wielding a man-portable
high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rocket launcher, which it used to destroy the carrier. One (1) member of MTF - as well as SCP-1669-
11 were killed instantly and four (4) more team members were wounded in the attack. SCP-1669-12 was also injured by its proximity to
the blast.
Note: Injuries sustained by SCP-1669-12 in the explosion included a severed left pinky finger caused by shrapnel from the explosion.
This finger was unable to be reattached, and all subsequent instances of SCP-1669 have exhibited the same missing digit. Tracking the
serial number on the weapon used in the attack turned up an identical weapon that had been transferred to the armory of Site- , over
650km away, just two hours prior to the event.
Iteration #: 20
Date: / /
Time: 23:22L
Description: With prior approval from both respective Site Directors, SCP-1669-19 was taken to Containment Area 25b, where SCP-076-2
had recently awakened. Cooperation from SCP-076-2 was secured when informed that the force coming for SCP-1669-19 could not be stopped
by any means available to the Foundation and would “make a worthy opponent” for SCP-076-2. SCP-1669-19 was positioned within the
killing corridor behind SCP-076-02. SCP-1669-20 emerged from SCP-076-1 and lunged at SCP-1669-19, but the attack was successfully
deflected by SCP-076-02. The two proceeded to battle for fourteen (14) hours, before SCP-1669-20 suddenly manifested [DATA EXPUNGED]
and attacked SCP-076-2, resulting in [DATA EXPUNGED] and the death of members of MTF [REDACTED], as well as SCP-1669-19, upon which
SCP-1669-20 lost consciousness. SCP-076-2 immediately attempted to breach containment, and was subsequently terminated. An additional
ten (10) personnel were lost during the containment attempt. Before finally succumbing to his injuries, SCP-076-2 was heard muttering
“That’s the most fun I have had in ages.”
Note: The manifestation of [DATA EXPUNGED] by SCP-1669-20 shows no upper limit to the abilities that can be manifested by an SCP-1669
instance during Event 1669-Alpha. Due to the high loss of Foundation personnel and damages to Foundation resources, further attempts
to prevent Event 1669-Alpha were suspended following this incident. Going forward, under no circumstances is SCP-1669 allowed to come
into contact with SCP-076-02.

A case of SCP-1678-A under containment.
Item #: SCP-1678
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1678 remains only partially contained. Mobile Task Forces Tau-4 and Epsilon-6 have succeeded in
establishing a defensible perimeter around the Hyde Park district of SCP-1678, with cases of SCP-1678-A largely ceasing their attacks
on the perimeter of the Foundation-held area. A long-term research base is currently under construction, and Mobile Task Force
commanders are preparing an assault on the SCP-1678 Natural History Museum with the intent of capturing a forward command post to
direct defense efforts. Current short-term aims involve the capture of, and extension of the defensible perimeter to, the SCP-1678
Natural History Museum, and to research and to ascertain the origins, construction, and weaknesses of the SCP-1678-A entities. Long-
term aims involve efforts to halt, hinder, or control the production of the SCP-1678-A entities, and to assault the SCP-1678 Houses of
Parliament, where the being, entity, or intelligence responsible for the creation of SCP-1678 is believed to reside, and to capture
and contain the aforementioned being.
Description: SCP-1678 is a full-scale mirror-image reconstruction of the British city of London, located exactly one kilometer
underneath the original city of London. Currently, only the Hyde Park district of SCP-1678 has been explored, but all buildings, at
least within the explored district, correlate exactly to their surface counterparts in terms of location, as well as the exterior size
and shape, although rarely in terms of architecture, building material, and interior layout. The city has been constructed to resemble
the city as it was in the Victorian era, with constructions designed to resemble traditional gas lighting prevalent on the streets and
with all modern buildings in the original city of London being represented in a Victorian style of architecture, most notably the
skyscrapers of the Business district. Illumination is infrequent and unreliable, and it is unknown how SCP-1678 has acquired a steady
oxygen and gas supply.
SCP-1678 is believed to have been constructed instantaneously by unknown means, with the SCP-1678 Houses of Parliament serving as the
‘epicenter’ for the construction process. This is evidenced by the fact that, as distance from the Houses of Parliament increase there
is an exponentially increasing frequency of flaws in the construction of SCP-1678, such as houses built entirely out of copper pipes
or other unconventional materials, ‘gas lights’ being little more than a metal rod topped with a floating orb of light, buildings
containing no floors, and, at the furthest explored distance from the epicenter, no windows or doors. Aside from Foundation occupants
and cases of SCP-1678-A, B and C, SCP-1678 is believed to be uninhabited.
SCP-1678 is believed to have been constructed with the intent to harbor the survivors of an XK-class end-of-the-world event. This is
evidenced by an audio recording that will activate and play upon any person entering the city.
SCP-1678 Audio Transcript (Entrance)
[My fellow citizen. If you are hearing this tape, then the world as we knew it has finished. The sky has broken, the ground heaves
with the tramp of terrible feet, and all the horror and madness from the dark corners of the world has broken free to exact its
vengeance on the world of Man. Those who sought to contain them are killed or scattered, and we soon learnt that to attempt to fight
these creatures is almost invariably to face one’s death. Countless billions have been slaughtered in their attempt to sate their
endless appetite for death, and there is nothing-was nothing- we could do to stop them. Evil has raised its bloody flag upon all
nations of the world and crowed its unholy victory to the broken sky. Yes, this is the end.
But there is a new hope.
Welcome to UnLondon, a city of the survivors, a city of the free. Together, fellow citizen, we will wait and prepare for the new
beginning, the grand new world that is soon to come. Let the world above burn. We will endure. Let the monsters have their world. We
will prepare. And let the ground tremble with a new Armageddon, as evil consumes itself, for I tell you, citizen, upon the day of the
ruination of Man, their insatiable appetites will turn them against one another in their endless lust for death. We will wait.
And I tell you, citizen, that there will be a new morning. And you will emerge from UnLondon, and stand blinking in the sun, as our
children play and laugh in the bones of horrors long dead. And you will walk, hand in hand, to the sea, our faces skywards, as the
rising sun ushers in the new age of Man. And you will gather, citizen, at my feet as I summon UnLondon from its rest, and it shall
burst, phoenix-like, from the ashes of the old. And on that day, citizen, there shall be a new order, as we raise the Union Flag over
the entire world.
I welcome you to UnLondon, the Last City.
And the first.]
SCP-1678 Audio Transcripts (Misc)
The following message is relayed on the end of every hour:
‘The time is [TIME] o’clock. All is well.’
On approaching any bank or police station:
‘Citizen, you are entering a restricted area. Have your authorization papers ready. A Bobby will arrive to escort you shortly’
(WARNING: a single case of SCP-1678-A will be summoned)
On being sighted by a case of SCP-1678-A.

‘Halt! Police!’
‘Drop your weapons!’
‘Come now, let’s be having you!’
‘Police! Don’t run!’
Randomly, once per hour. The messages below are selected samples of the 1678 observed audio recordings.
‘No one is safe from the influence of memetic beings. Have yourself assessed today.’
‘You could be possessed by a memetic horror and not even know it! Psyche assessments are free and easy-visit a clinic today.’
‘Do you find light uncomfortable? Identifying a Cortex Worm's infection early makes them possible to remove. Speak to your doctor
today.’
‘Have you noticed anyone acting oddly? Tell a Bobby immediately.’
‘Crime will not be tolerated in UnLondon. I warn you: the tormentors of society will become its defenders.’
‘Evil can walk in human form and human flesh. Stay vigilant.’
‘Are you frequently anxious or depressed? It could be a symptom of the Pattern Screamer’s influence- notify a Bobby immediately’
‘Ensure you are well rehearsed in all breach protocols. There is no excuse for panic or confusion during drills.’
‘Can’t make ends meet? Do not be ashamed. Bryson’s Home for the Poor is here to help.’
‘I rule in the interests of the many, not the few. There are no special privileges.’
‘Swelling and abnormal growths are an early sign of the Slaver Man’s possession. Report any abnormal sickness to your doctor
immediately.’
‘Each and every one of you is responsible for the safety of UnLondon and its citizens. Be watchful.’
Most explored buildings within SCP-1678 appear to have been outfitted for the purpose of extremely dense inhabitation with closely
grouped steel bunk beds, a common feature in any building suitable for the purpose. Foundation researchers have advised that most
explored buildings within SCP-1678 are unfit for human habitation, due to a high preponderance of mould, damp, and poor construction
within these buildings. Some buildings are outfitted for other purposes, most notably the SCP-1678 version of the Natural History
Museum, which is featuring an exhibit titled ‘The Fall of Man’ and contains representations of several known SCP entities, and images
and artwork depicting apocalyptic settings.
The key threat posed by SCP-1678 is by entities referred to in some SCP-1678 audio recordings as ‘Bobbies’ (‘Bobby’ is known to be a
Victorian-era British slang term for ‘Policeman’), henceforth referred to as SCP-1678-A. These entities are constructed out of human
corpses crudely dismembered at the head, wrists, knees and elbows and re-assembled using simple industrial hinges and screws. The head
is always wrapped in bandages. They are dressed in a uniform similar to Victorian-era police and are extremely hostile towards
Foundation personnel, attacking them on sight with improvised weapons. These attacks are always preceded by SCP-1678-A emitting a
noise similar to that of a policeman’s whistle, and all loudspeakers within one hundred meters emitting the audio recording ‘‘Police!
Halt, criminal!’’. Instances of SCP-1678-A are extremely resistant to damage, with only high-caliber rounds and explosive weapons
proving sufficient to destroy them. They are believed to originate from a building named ‘Bryson’s Home for the Poor’, as evidenced by
an inmate-style jumpsuit worn under the uniform.
To what extent they interact with other SCP-1678 entities is unknown.
SCP-1678-B Overview
SCP-1678-B
Role: Surveillance.
A.K.A: Eyes in the Sky.
Cases of SCP-1678-B are bio-mechanical constructs which resemble that of a small avian life form. They are composed of a central mass
of a red organic matter stitched together by a copper exoskeleton that resembles a spine and wing bones. The head has been
demonstrated to be a small video camera and remnants of feathers and plastic on their exterior suggests they were once intended to
resemble a pigeon. Cases of SCP-1678-B are known to possess no offensive or destructive capabilities, yet their ability to track Task
Force movements should not be underestimated, as it is currently unknown if they are capable of communicating with, or summoning cases
of, SCP-1678-A. Cases of SCP-1678-B are relatively simple to contain or destroy, yet their large numbers make their observation of
Foundation activities extremely difficult to stop.
Occasional posters throughout the Foundation-explored area allude to their existence. These posters display an image of a small pigeon
observing criminal activity beneath the title ‘UnLondon’s Eyes in the Sky!’ alongside a small message to the effect that anyone
destroying or vandalizing an ‘Eye in the Sky’ faces up to six weeks in the unit.
SCP-1678-C Overview
SCP-1678-C
Role: Unknown
A.K.A: Wretch
Cases of SCP-1678-C resemble a humanoid figure dressed in rags. They appear to be of old age and are usually, although not always,
female. They have always been encountered outside the Foundation-held area.
There have been very few direct encounters with the SCP-1678-C entities, and it is currently unknown how many cases exist or to what
level of threat they pose to Foundation security or safety. Encounters typically feature cases of SCP-1678-C sitting on a street
corner with a begging dish, whereupon they will attempt to attract the pity or mercy of any Foundation personnel within their
proximity with pleading or begging for food or money. Supplying a case of SCP-1678-C with food will cause them to begin weeping before
dematerializing with a burst of dense black smoke. Foundation personnel are currently under instruction to not interact with them.
They are briefly alluded to in an SCP-1678 audio recording: ‘Do not pity the Wretch. Allow them to pay the price of their betrayal for
all eternity. Remember, citizen: on the day UnLondon rises I shall reward the loyal, but traitors shall be forever damned.’
SCP-1678-D Overview
SCP-1678-D
Role: Food Supply.
A.K.A: ‘Dr. Goody’s Wonderfood!’
SCP-1678-D is believed to be the primary food source on offer in the event that SCP-1678 receives full-scale occupation. SCP-1678-D is
freely and easily available from steel vending machines installed in virtually every building or structure outfitted for the purpose
of habitation. The vending machines are upright steel pumps similar in size and shape to that of a modern petrol pump, containing a
slot for the receiving of coins and a flexible rubber hose ending in a trigger-operated nozzle that will deploy half a liter of SCP-
1678-D upon the appropriate payment. All vending machines display the legend ‘Dr. Goody’s WONDERFOOD!’ alongside an image of a smiling
child enjoying a bowl of SCP-1678-D and text bubbles advising that SCP-1678-D costs ‘Just a farthing a bowl!’, that it ‘Contains all
the nutrients you need!’ and ‘Completely restores health and vitality!’ It has proven to be extremely attractive to cases of SCP-1678-
B, C, and an unknown species of colored mollusc which has been observed feeding on any spillages.
SCP-1678-D is a synthetic starch gel heavily enriched with various minerals, vitamins, fats and bulking agents. In addition to this it
contains several unknown molecular structures and various engineered DNA helixes carried within synthetic cellular structures. It has
the same consistency and taste as porridge. As advertised, it contains all the nutrients necessary for short-term survival. However,
Foundation researchers have advised that over a period of more than six weeks users of SCP-1678-D will become dangerously underweight
due to low levels of fat and protein within SCP-1678-D and are at strong likelihood of contracting illnesses such as scurvy if
survival is attempted by consuming SCP-1678-D alone.
SCP-1678-D appears to be purposely engineered to manipulate the psyche of regular consumers. Through a mixture of unknown molecular
compounds, regular consumers are more obedient to authority, are less likely to commit acts of violence, are less likely to engage in
sexual intercourse, have a reduced capacity for fear or panic, and have consistently high morale. In addition, it also has engineered
side effects such as depressive symptoms and headaches if a subject suddenly abandons consuming SCP-1678-D. Due to the difficulty of
creating food within SCP-1678, SCP-1678-D would serve as the primary food source in the event of large-scale habitation.
Foundation personnel are forbidden to consume SCP-1678-D, even in small amounts. Not all vending machines produce SCP-1678-D to the
same quality with some machines deploying corrupted forms that have induced severe mental or physical abnormalities or death within
the consumer.
It is currently unclear what entity, being or intelligence is responsible for the creation and maintenance of SCP-1678. It is unclear
as to what event or disaster SCP-1678 is being prepared for.

Item #: SCP-1686
Special Containment Procedures: The area encompassing SCP-1686 is considered to be the extended grounds of Research Site-27 and is to
be closed to civilian traffic under the cover of a military proving ground. If at any time unauthorized persons are found within the
area of SCP-1686 they are to be detained and questioned in accordance with Large Site Security Operations Protocol 52-A.
The perimeter of SCP-1686 is to be monitored at all times by members of Research Site-27 security staff via 120 WFOV cameras installed
along the perimeter and satellite imagery, as provided by site-dedicated Satellite-219-F. Scans of the area are to be made weekly by
personnel using scout vehicles on roads built for that purpose.
In the event of activation of SCP-1686 all facility personnel are to remain on-site. Following the activation period, research and
recovery staff are to be deployed within the grounds of SCP-1686 to recover any and all organic materials produced by SCP-1686's
effect. These materials are to be cataloged and examined within main site complex. Any materials found to be of an anomalous nature
are to be retained for study and any non-anomalous organic materials are to be incinerated on-site.
Revision: 09/10/10: In the event that non-biological material is produced by SCP-1686, materials are to be retained for study in
accordance with Extra-Dimensional Object Protocol 11-A.
Description: SCP-1686 is an area of land encompassing approximately 750 km2 of County, South Dakota. The physical topography of
the area consists primarily of grassland plateaus and has not been found to be of an anomalous nature. The flora and fauna of the
region have not been known to possess any anomalous properties, although animal population levels in the area are lower than those of
the surrounding environs. The area is currently uninhabited, with the exception of Foundation personnel monitoring the phenomenon and
conducting biological research.
Once every 20-50 days, SCP-1686 will enter its active state. During this period, cumulonimbus clouds will form within SCP-1686,
generally encompassing around 60% of the total area. These clouds will rotate in a counterclockwise direction within SCP-1686 (as
viewed from above) and have never been observed to exit the area of SCP-1686. Upon reaching a stage of development normally associated
with the production of liquid precipitation, clouds will begin to produce via an unknown mechanism a large number of marine organisms.
These entities, which consist largely of fish and other aquatic organisms (see Addendum SCP-1686-1), then fall to the earth normally.
It is estimated that approximately 93% of all organisms produced by SCP-1686 are live at time of production, although very few have
been known to survive transit to earth. Organisms which do survive transit generally expire shortly thereafter.
Clouds produced within SCP-1686 generally dissipate after a period of 5-7 hours, although they have been known to persist for up to a
week. While not in its active state, SCP-1686 has not been known to exhibit any unusual properties, although remains of precipitated
organisms do persist within the area for a non-anomalous period of time.
Addendum 1686-1: Organisms produced by SCP-1686 have been noted to possess unusual properties and physiology not concurrent with that
of those known to exist within Earth's oceans. These organisms have included but are not limited to:
Thunnus albacares (yellowfin tuna) with dorsal fins elongated to a length of 6m and possessing an especially flexible
cartilaginous structure.
Caspiomyzon wagneri (Caspian lamprey) of a length exceeding 7m.
An unknown species of crustacean bearing similarities to both Nephropidae (lobsters) and Conidae (cone snails) capable of
producing a chemical which, when ingested by a human subject, produces extremely vivid hallucinations followed by death by
cerebral hemorrhaging within 16 hours.
A specimen of Carassius auratus auratus (common goldfish) featuring three extra pairs of dorsal fins with advanced bone and
muscular structures, along with a greatly enlarged hindbrain (the area generally associated with motor control).
A school of upwards of 320,000 miniature Istiophorus albicans (Atlantic sailfish), each approximately 3cm in length.
A currently un-identified species of predatory marine organism of unknown taxonomic classification similar in appearance to an
extremely large Amanita muscaria (fly agaric, a type of toadstool), featuring a propulsion siphon and a variety of bulb-like
growths thought to serve as navigational aids.
Addendum 1686-3: 07/07/79: A previously-unknown species of fungus was found to have infested a large section of grassland within
containment area, believed to have originated from an SCP-1686 produced organism. Evidence indicates it was most likely originally
found within a mucus membrane of an unidentified filter-feeding organism similar in appearance to Scyliorhinidae (catsharks).
Infestation grew to cover an area of approx. 3 km2 within a period of 23 hours during an extended downpour. Containment teams were
successful in destruction of infestation after several attempts. Samples of fungus have been retained for study.
Addendum 1686-4: 05/06/86: A large increase in the proportion of Selachimorpha (sharks) produced by SCP-1686 as compared to other
groups has been reported. Organisms show abnormalities similar to those present in previously recovered specimens, with an especial
propensity towards increased size.
Addendum 1686-7: 10/12/97: First recorded instance of mammalian organism produced by SCP-1686. Organism found to be genetically
similar to Balaena mysticetus (bowhead whale) following cleanup. Extensive damage done to portion of research facility as a result of
collision. Cover story issued to in-range radar towers regarding testing of experimental targeting systems on large targets to account
for radar contact. All future developments of Research Site-27 are to be situated underground and current main facility is to be
relocated accordingly.
Addendum 1686-10: 09/10/10: A large (approx. 30m in length), presumably ocean-going vessel was observed to fall from cumulonimbus
clouds formed within SCP-1686. The vessel was largely destroyed by impact, but video and forensic evidence indicates that its
structure was not congruent with that used by any known culture within historical record. Samples recovered also indicate that the
materials used to construct the vessel, thought to be a kind of extremely dense fungal structure, do not match any known materials.
The addition of increased shielding to site facilities has been recommended and is currently under review in progress (09/12/10).

SCP-1689
Item #: SCP-1689
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1689 is currently under restricted access in Area medium-size artifact storage, Compartment .
SCP-1689 is to be stored tied shut with its mouth facing upwards at all times. Access is limited to Level 3 personnel, with the
exception of site cooking staff.
Exploratory access to SCP-1689-A requires approval from a Level 4 personnel. All expeditions must be documented with a complete
manifest of equipment and staff to enter. Enzymatic Compound 13 has been developed to aid in exploration of SCP-1689-A.
Proposals to establish a mobile site in SCP-1689-A are currently under review.
Description: SCP-1689 is a burlap bag of potatoes. In its stable state, SCP-1689 weighs 40-50 kg and contains approximately two
hundred (200) common agricultural potatoes (tubers of Solanum tuberosum). SCP-1689 is made of brown, roughly woven jute.
The interior of SCP-1689 is vastly larger than its exterior, and is designated SCP-1689-A. SCP-1689-A is a large extradimensional
space of undetermined volume (measured to be at least 10,000m3, but believed to be much greater) completely filled with potatoes.
Exploration of SCP-1689-A is largely incomplete, due to the high degree of obstruction; for more information, please see Addendum-2,
Exploration Log 1689-I.
Potato recovered from SCP-1689 in an early stage of growth
When portions of SCP-1689-A are empty, nearby potatoes experience an abnormal form of growth characterized by tumor-like bulges
emerging and eventually splitting into fully-sized independent potatoes. The rate of growth is roughly exponential with a doubling
period of approximately two hours. This effect also applies to normal potatoes introduced to SCP-1689, as well as similar edible
tubers or roots such as yams and sweet potatoes (although none have been found to occur within SCP-1689 naturally).
Addendum 1689-1: SCP-1689 was recovered from Krysovo, a small village of approximately two hundred (200) people in northern Siberia. A
Russian official reported on 2 June 201 that Krysovo had made no outside contact in four decades and had no surrounding farmland. The
reports were confiscated and investigated by the Foundation, at which point it was discovered that the village had been using SCP-1689
as its sole food source for well over a century. As a result, the villagers were suffering from extreme calcium and iron deficiencies.
No one in the village was able to recall how they had come into possession of SCP-1689, only that it had been there "since before the
Reds" and that it was "a gift for working hard." SCP-1689 was subsequently transported to Area , its current location.
Addendum 1689-2: Currently, only one fully equipped expedition into SCP-1689-A has taken place. Authorized personnel may view the
Mission Log of Captain Cameron Wells: Exploration Log 1689-I.

An instance of SCP-1762-2.
Item #: SCP-1762
Object Class: Safe Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1762-1 is held in a standard containment unit at Site- . During the periods when SCP-1762-1
releases SCP-1762-2, video logs are to be recorded for future research. Although instances of SCP-1762-2 have been deemed harmless,
they should not be allowed to exit their containment unit.
Description: SCP-1762-1 is a plain, cardboard box that is 32 cm x 20 cm x 26 cm. It is spray-painted silver on the interior and
exterior, and the words "HERE BE DRAGONS" are handwritten in black permanent marker on the lid of the container. Opening the lid of
SCP-1762-1 when it is not in the process of a release reveals it to be empty.
SCP-1762-1 will infrequently open and initiate a release of SCP-1762-2. During this time, the box will briefly emit a large amount of
black smoke that quickly dissipates; it takes an average of twenty seconds for SCP-1762-2 to emerge after the smoke clears.
SCP-1762-2 is the collective term applied to the beings that emerge from SCP-1762-1. All instances of SCP-1762-2 bear resemblance to
various types of dragons, in both Eastern and Western depictions, albeit in forms similar to that of origami models. Analysis of SCP-
1762-2 reveals that they are composed of Kami paper. After exiting SCP-1762-1, instances of SCP-1762-2 will fly together in large
groups and interact playfully with any nearby personnel and each other.
SCP-1762-2 vary in length from nine to thirty centimeters; all are capable of sustained flight once they exit SCP-1762-1, and have
been recorded attaining speeds of 15 km/h. The number of SCP-1762-2 varies with each opening of SCP-1762-1, with numbers ranging from
fifty to over four hundred.
After approximately two to three hours of time spent outside of SCP-1762-1, all instances of SCP-1762-2 return and fly back into SCP-
1762-1; during this time, SCP-1762-1 will once again begin emitting smoke, and instances of SCP-1762-2 will vanish after passing the
rim of SCP-1762-1. SCP-1762-1 closes once all SCP-1762-2 have returned to it; the next date of release is inconsistent.
A message written or carved into a varying material will sometimes materialize on top of SCP-1762-1's lid once the box retrieves all
instances of SCP-1762-2. Attempts to send a message or recording device back with SCP-1762-2 have provided negative results. These
documents and their appropriate dates of appearance are being compiled and recorded.
Addendum 1762-01: On / /20 , SCP-1762-1 began to undergo a series of events that lasted 11 months and 28 days; these events, as
well as prior incidents that led up to the beginning of the scenario, have now been classified under the title "The Jabberwocky
Event".
1762-02: Documentation of "The Jabberwocky Event" Collapse
Document 1762-1 Date Obtained: / /2004 This is the first recorded instance of SCP-1762-1 opening while contained at Site- .
You have found us. Thank you. It has been so long since we last saw each other, friends. The Peace has been upheld. The Giants and
Behemoths have kept their word and have not caused any trouble since you last came and gave the Order. We missed Your company. How
has your Family been? Do You still know how to work your Room? You are welcome to visit anytime.
Document 1762-4 Date Obtained: / /2004
It's strange to see how much your world has changed; it is even stranger to see how we now appear in this place. In Fantasy, we are
much bigger. Or maybe you've grown taller? Fantasy is still the same. We hope you can visit us like you used to. Though our Room is
as grand as ever, it appears Yours has shrunken? We do not understand. The Rooms were supposed to be maintained, as was our
Agreement. Please restore the Belief.
Document 1762-6 Date Obtained: / /2005 Only twenty instances of SCP-1762-2 appeared during this event. Said instances did not lift
off and instead walked slowly on foot for the whole period they were out of SCP-1762-1.
Friends, we apologize for our few numbers. We have had to remain in Fantasy for quite some time. The Others are growing impatient.
We are trying to keep the Peace, but please, for all of our Happiness, repair the Room quickly. We know You are trying. Your Family
is the most imaginative of us All.
Document 1762-14 Date Obtained: / /20 Along with ten instances of SCP-1762-2 appearing, three balls of yellow, crumpled
construction paper were expelled from SCP-1762-1. These pieces were observed to shake violently for five seconds, then ceased all
further movement. They were picked up by SCP-1762-2 and returned to SCP-1762-1.
The Giants were foolish. Your Room was not ready to accept Them yet. We're sorry, friends. We hope that we can still see you, but
time is growing short for our Happiness.
Document 1762-15 Date Obtained: / /20 Five instances of SCP-1762-2 emerged, carrying said document. They immediately returned to
SCP-1762-1 after depositing it on the floor.
Tensions are rising. Fantasy is becoming darker. We, the Serpents and the Hybrids are furiously trying to hold Them back, but the
Giants and Elves wish to strike and make an Entrance. They say that your Family has grown stupid and ignorant. We hope this untrue.
It would sadden us all greatly to know that You have Forgotten.
Document 1762-16 Date Obtained: / /20 A single, red instance of SCP-1762-2 emerged from SCP-1762-1. Its wings were torn and it
was noticeably crumpled. It collapsed onto the floor one minute later, and did not move again. Upon its "expiration" the body of SCP-
1762-2 rapidly unfolded and revealed a message written on the white side of the paper.
War. Goodbye, friends.
Two hours later, SCP-1762-1 opened and emitted flames that reached two meters in height, and temperatures of 1700 °C. Sounds of
distant roaring were heard from within SCP-1762-1. At 20:00 hours, a large amount of torn paper pieces and paper balls were ejected
from SCP-1762-1. Several damaged SCP-1762-2 were also expelled and were deemed "deceased" upon examination.
SCP-1762-1 continued to sporadically open and close for the next six weeks. During this time, it continued to emit fire as the amount
of paper discharged from it steadily decreased; matter resembling muscle and tissue was continuously expelled from SCP-1762-1 at
increasing frequency.
SCP-1762-1 remained closed and inactive for the next seven months.
Document 1762-17 Date Obtained: / /20 This document was discovered lying inside the interior of SCP-1762-1. It was written on
parchment and many of the words had been blurred or stained with blood.
Are you still out there, friends? We miss you dearly. Fantasy is no longer safe. Our haven, Your beautiful creation, is gone. The
Giants are dead. The Centaurs are dead. The Birds have fled. We are going to bury Your Room. We cannot risk hurting you. This is our
goodbye. Maybe one day, Your Family can build another Room. This may be a hollow hope, but We will cherish this thought.
One hour later SCP-1762-1 began to shake and emit smoke for fifteen minutes, after which it began to sag and collapse. Several
portions of the box began to char and tear, creating small burn holes throughout. The words "HERE BE DRAGONS" on the lid of the box
were burned away.
Document 1762-18 Date Obtained: / /20 This is the final message obtained from SCP-1762-1. It was written in ink on a papyrus
scroll, and also depicted a scene of a painted, mountainous landscape filled with large trees and waterfalls. A single winged dragon
can be seen in the background; it appears to be flying away. The message is written in black ink in the bottom right hand corner.
Master says that we won't see You again. We are sad. So are the remaining Others. We once filled each other's heads with dreams and
goals. It is so sad that we cannot share them any longer. Master says we have to go. He says that he will make us a new Fantasy. He
says You cannot be a part of it. We are sad. We love you. We will not Forget you. We are scared. Will You Forget Us?
Upon removal of Document 1762-18, salt water began to leak from SCP-1762-1 and the burn marks that covered the container began to
disappear; three minutes later, SCP-1762-1 had been restored to its original state. The words "HERE BE DRAGONS" were replaced with the
words "HERE WERE DRAGONS".
— The Jabberwocky Event is declared concluded with this occurrence. —
Addendum 3: Since the end of the Jabberwocky Event, SCP-1762-1 has shown no further anomalous properties and has been declared
neutralized; SCP-1762-1 and three deceased instances of SCP-1762-2 now reside in Researcher Yoshihiro Takenaka's office for
commemorative purposes.
1762-04: Update, Dec 31, 2015 Collapse
After nearly eight years of inactivity, Researcher Takenaka reported SCP-1762-1 began emitting purple smoke and spontaneously opened
at 2300 hours, falling to the floor. It dislodged a single chunk of crystal (later identified as amethyst) and a large leatherbound
book. The contents of this book appear to detail various species that once lived within the world of SCP-1762-2, though from what the
author has written, all organisms mentioned are likely extinct. This book is now classified as 1762-BOL-1. The amethyst crystal had
the following words carved into it:
One last time.
After falling, SCP-1762-1 continuously emitted smoke for the next forty minutes, before ceasing all activity. Upon trying to pick up
SCP-1762-1, Takenaka reported that the box proceeded to disintegrate upon touching it. Its remains are now kept in a containment
capsule in his office.

Item #: SCP-1782
Special Containment Procedures: The entrance and a perimeter of SCP-1782 are to be monitored at all times. Although SCP-1782 has not
yet proven itself to be outwardly hostile, the door to the room should be guarded by at least two armed personnel at all times.
The area is only to be explored by unmanned drones, which have been requisitioned since the events of 09/04/ .
Description: SCP-1782 is a room measuring 42 or 45 square metres, in an abandoned apartment complex located in Kiev, Ukraine. Imprints
over the archway entering the room read "jedna deväť osem d" (one nine eight d).
SCP-1782's interior changes in appearance every three days at 03:12 AM. The change is instantaneous.
SCP-1782 is usually furnished with typical household objects, although SCP-1782, and the objects themselves, when present, are aged
significantly with signs of heavy use. The floor plan of the room varies; certain instances having a kitchen, bedroom, and living
room, or simply being a large, empty space. SCP-1782 occasionally manifests what appear to be sapient entities and fauna. Objects
appearing before the change vanish regardless of their proximity to SCP-1782 at exactly 03:12 AM. Further examples can be found in the
area records for this object.
SCP-1782 does not appear to have a detrimental effect on subjects entering. Testing subjects in all cases return from the interior of
the room with a fear of holes. Exact reasons for this are unknown.
Area Record 1782:

Date: 08/23/██
Event: Room materializes empty. The sound of metal scraping against metal can be heard. A disembodied female voice can be heard
repeating the phrase "Shakes me, makes me lighter" until 03:12 AM.
Area Record 1782:

Date: 08/26/██
Event: Room materializes empty. Sound does not travel through the interior, although upon further inspection a small area on the left
wall of the floorplan emits a faint metallic grating noise.
Area Record 1782:

Date: 08/29/██
Event: An elderly human feeding itself to a group of kakapo. Did not express pain, appeared ambivalent.
from Interview 1782-831 Close
SCP-1782-1: And then I'll be eaten. There's a hole in the wall in the bottom of the floor.
SCP-1782-1: But I don't see how that makes any difference. What could have been?
Dr. Sanders: Can you tell us what you're doing? What is your name?
SCP-1782-1: It is a meat offering. Thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay incense thereon.
Dr. Sanders approaches the entity and the group of birds. They are non-hostile.
SCP-1782-1: Pour all the rest of the blood thereof at the foot of the altar, chickadees. In the hole in the floor.
Dr. Sanders motions for a guard and instructs him to pick up one of the birds. The bird is examined and appears mundane. A skin
sample is taken from the entity at this time; the results are later found to be normal. The bird is placed on the floor and it
continues feeding on the entity.
Dr. Sanders: Tell me what you're thinking.
SCP-1782-1 behavior becomes abnormal. The subject intermittently pinches different parts of its exposed flesh, and can be seen
trying to make suggestive eye contact with Dr. Sanders during this portion of the interview.
SCP-1782-1: Nothing out of the ordinary. The birds are hungry though!
Dr. Sanders: Do I look hungry to you?
SCP-1782-1: Now what kind of question is that, you some kind of loony?
Dr. Sanders: Is there something wrong?
SCP-1782-1: No. I am feeling a bit bloated though. Must've been all of that sugar and brandy I drank before she brought me in here.
SCP-1782-1: There's an abortion under the floorboards, one in the sink, too.
Interview concluded.
Area Record 1782:

Date: 09/04/██
Event: Room appears with two partitions, including a bathroom housing only a toilet, and a small rectangular entrance accessible
through a small hole in the wall. The room is tinted a dull green, with what appears to be caked blood and feces on certain sections
of the walls.
A man in an orange jumpsuit materializes instantly outside of the door to SCP-1782 with a television camera on his shoulder. Attempts
to communicate with the entity are successful, although unorthodox. The entity asked that Dr. Sanders produce a small television set
and stay outside of the cell, so that he could record "the girl in the wall in the bottom of the floor". Those in charge of testing
obliged. The following is a transcript of the recording.
1782-904 Close
16:30:04-16:30:15: Entity enters the room. A faint noise similar to metal scraping against metal can be heard throughout the video.
A decidedly upbeat pop punk song begins playing, the singer repeating the lyrics "There's a hole in the wall in the bottom of the
floor / There's a girl in the wall in the bottom of the floor". Music continues until AV feed ends.
16:30:15-16:33:18: Entity takes a right towards a small, cubicle-like partition containing only a toilet. The camera is positioned
over the toilet to reveal what appears to be a mutilated fetus in the basin. Video begins to distort, seemingly for some sort of
artistic effect. This continues until 16:33:18, when the entity exits the 'bathroom'.
16:33:18-16:40:59: Camera pans in circles around room, temporarily reaching impossible speeds before again slowing down. The object
in the toilet seen previously is cut in to view of the footage intermittently. Metallic grating grows louder.
16:40:59-16:54:00: Camera fixes on a small hole in the wall on the left side of the room. The entity places the camera on the floor
and can be seen adjusting his suit before again picking up the camera. Entity heads towards the hole in the wall, entering a prone
position and somehow crawling into the hole. Video goes black for 5 minutes, music continues to play, and heavy breathing can be
heard from two separate sources.
16:54:00:-16:55:06 Light returns, revealing a damp, muddy area that the camera could not possibly fit in. View is centered toward
the ground, gradually scrolling upwards across what initially appears to be a miniature, uncased septic tank with small, skeletal
legs similar to a human's. As the view continues to scroll, a clear fluid can be seen spraying in a small funnel upwards into what
is later revealed to be a human skull lacking a lower jaw or nasal cavity, with exaggerated eye sockets. Faint crying is audible as
the septic tank object's 'head' moves slightly to the right with the aid of small, skeletal hands from opposing sides of the
camera's view. Brown liquid sprays onto the object's face before video feed ends.
Entity does not return from the hole.
An RC car with some obstacle clearing capability was requisitioned and mounted with a GPS and video camera to inspect the hole of the
09/04 SCP-1782. The device successfully entered the hole and a live feed confirmed the object recorded by the previous entity. Video
feed of the object reveals limbs and head of the object moving slowly up and down. Footage went on steadily past 03:12 AM, revealing
that the object does not disappear during SCP-1782 cycles, although the entrance to its location is no longer present. GPS positioning
reveals the location of the entity to be in the same location as Dr. Sanders, although testing reveals this to be false. Later GPS
readings suggest that the device is located at any mature female within 5 meters of SCP-1782 on any given day.
The entity located outside of the door prior to exploration could not be located. The area was deemed safe and Researcher Breen and
Ortega were dispatched one hour before SCP-1782's reset time of 03:12 AM to receive a DNA sample from the object in the toilet.
from DNA Recovery 1782-904-2 Close
Researcher Breen: Alright hand me the scalpel now.
Breen leans over the toilet and, appearing startled, falls backwards.
Researcher Ortega: What the hell's wrong?
Researcher Breen: Thought I saw the damned thing move.
Breen rights himself and leans back over the bowl to receive the sample.
Breen immediately stands straight up, closes his eyes, and faces Ortega for 5 seconds.
Researcher Breen: Yeah. It's moving. Right. Yeah. Okay.
Researcher Ortega: I'll do it.
Researcher Ortega asks Breen to leave the bathroom and leans over the toilet to retrieve the sample.
Researcher Ortega exits the bathroom at a brisk pace without the sample.
Researcher Ortega: It looked at me.
Researcher Breen: Alright. Let's just put the whole thing in the bag real quick.
Researchers enter the bathroom again, Breen holding the sample bag and Ortega using tongs to place the object inside. Researcher
Ortega disappears, the sound of water splashing is heard in the toilet.
Breen sprints toward the door to SCP-1782 and exits the room.

SCP-1867 in containment.
Item #: SCP-1867
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1867 is to be kept in a 40x70x30 cm aquatic specimen tank. No additional security measures are
necessary. SCP-1867’s environment and the care thereof are identical to that of non-anomalous members of the species.
Recovered items relating to SCP-1867 are to be placed in Secure Storage Vault 16. Access to these items and to SCP-1867 itself is with
permission of an appropriate Level 2 staff member.
/ /2012 - SCP-1867 has requested access to a selection of novels and nature journals. Request was denied.
Description: SCP-1867 is a nudibranch of the species Nembrotha kubaryana (variable neon slug), measuring 11.7 cm (4.6 inches) in
length. There are no physical differences between SCP-1867 and any other member of its species.
SCP-1867 is sapient, and capable of telepathic communication with individuals within five meters. It identifies itself as “Lord
Theodore Thomas Blackwood”, a British explorer and naturalist (no such individual appears in any municipal records). SCP-1867 speaks
with terminology and style appropriate to late nineteenth century England, and is generally friendly and cooperative with researchers.
SCP-1867 makes repeated claims of past exploits and accomplishments, including service in the Second Opium War, expeditions to remote
regions of the world, and encounters with various rare creatures and peoples. Despite the questionable validity of many of its claims,
SCP-1867 has shown in-depth knowledge of geography, zoology, botany, archaeology, anthropology and linguistics relating to its claimed
regions of exploration, as well as more esoteric fields such as obscure mythology, mysticism, and cryptozoology. However, SCP-1867
does not seem to realize, or willfully ignores, any events or information dating after approximately 1910.
When requested to give proof of its exploits, SCP-1867 provided an address near , England, claiming that it would be “more
than willing to donate [its] collection.” Investigation of the address led to a cottage owned by one Ms. , who
claimed to be “keeping the house for Lord Blackwood”. Further questioning failed to reveal any details of SCP-1867’s nature or origins
beyond what information SCP-1867 had already provided. Ms. died of heart failure five days after Foundation agents began
investigations.
Investigation of the cottage revealed an underground vault containing over three thousand artifacts, zoological and botanical
specimens, a library containing over five thousand items, and a functioning, if outdated, laboratory. All materials within the
collection were removed and relocated by the Foundation over the course of three weeks.
Addendum-01: A full listing of items recovered from SCP-1867’s collection may be found in Document 1867-VL. Items of particular note
include:
• 116 unknown species of plants

• 107 unknown species of insects
• 28 unknown species of lizards
• 23 unknown species of fish
• 14 unknown species of amphibians
• 12 unknown species of mammals
• Fossils pertaining to 8 unknown species of dinosaur
• Fossils pertaining to 12 unknown species of prehistoric mammal
• Artifacts belonging to 29 unknown indigenous societies
• 35 hand-written journals containing recordings of events described by SCP-1867: the accounts are generally identical, save some
slight variations and exaggerations on the part of SCP-1867 in re-telling, and have been dated to the appropriate time period of the
events described.
• 20 kilograms of processed opium
• Collection of firearms of make and model not correlating with any known manufacturers, including three wide-bore muskets marked as
“Dr. B. T. Moth’s Effective Particle Destabilizers.” These items are non-functional.
• Detailed globes of Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Galilean moons, accompanied by notes detailing possible paths of surface
exploration.
• A heavily modified carriage, containing instruments of unknown purpose. A note attached to the door reads “On the fritz. Speak with
Henry” in handwriting matching that of the journals.
• [DATA EXPUNGED] – Four agents were killed after activation before the object was destroyed. When questioned about the item, SCP-
1867’s response was “I did warn you to be careful around my collection. That bloody thing nearly took my head off back in Woking in
ninety-seven when I found it.”
Addendum-02:
The following interview is dated 08:45, / /2012

Dr. : Good morning, 1867.
SCP-1867: Ah, good morning Doctor! Wonderful to see you. Come in, come in, have yourself a seat. Now if I remember correctly, the
last time you were here I was telling you about the time I was captured by the Ubula tribe of the Congo
Dr. : Actually, I had some questions about your story. You see, no such tribe exists.
SCP-1867: Of course not! There weren’t any of the Ubula left after the village was attacked by Mokèlé-mbèmbé. I still regret not
being able to bag that monster when I had the chance. It is a persistently elusive creature
Dr. : 1867, we have no actual proof that what you are saying is not just an elaborate fiction. The artifacts and records we
found in your vault could easily be fakes.
SCP-1867: Nonsense! I would never fabricate any of my work. Why, it’s against the very heart of being a naturalist! While I am
repeatedly amazed by your institution here, you seem to be missing the explorer’s spirit. When I scaled the Himalayas in search of
the Monks of the Golden Mountain, did I worry about what others had said about them? Of course not! I went and found out for myself!
Dr. : [short pause] You do realize that you’re a sea slug, right?
SCP-1867: Good heavens, boy, have you been drinking? That’s utterly ridiculous. If you can’t be bothered to be sensible I have no
reason to speak with you. Go get yourself a nice cup of tea and sober up.

SCP-1875-1 (drive shaft not visible)
Item #: SCP-1875
Next Scheduled November-77 Exercise: In Progress Cancelled
[AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY] [ACCESS GRANTED]
Explanation of Recent Containment Procedure Changes
We believe that computer networks at SCP-1875's holding site have been compromised. As a result, all electronic communications with
the facility have been severed pending further notice.
Overwatch HQ has declared a moratorium on future November-77 exercises until such time as we fully understand how 1875 transmits and
receives wireless communication signals. Accordingly, I have amended these procedures with two clauses re: (1) exposure of SCP-1875
to wireless data networks and (2) treatment of individuals exposed to 1875-IMG-1AB.
- O5-
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1875 must never come within transmission range of any wireless data network. The machine's
container must be enclosed by a Faraday cage, and it must have a fully mechanical locking mechanism.
The holding site's full-time staff must include at least two network security experts, one armed security guard, and one child
psychology specialist. When the machine is fully assembled and activated, the speed adjustment lever on SCP-1875-3 may not be set to
"V" (maximum speed) without direct supervision by the site's Level-4 supervisor.
Electronic devices with data storage capacity may not be introduced to the facility, except during Exercise 1875-November-77, and all
individuals must be screened for such devices prior to entering the holding site.
In the event of Exercise 1875-November-77, Overwatch HQ will permit one designated and clearly-marked laptop computer to be taken into
SCP-1875's primary shielded container. Upon completion of November-77, facility staff must ensure this designated laptop is shredded
in the facility's scrap-metal shredder. Research data may only be removed from the container in the form of a paper printout.
Any evidence of 1875-IMG-1AB exposure must be reported immediately to Overwatch HQ.
Description: SCP-1875 is a Victorian-era chess automaton[1] consisting of four principal components, hereafter referred to as SCP-1875-
1, SCP-1875-2, SCP-1875-3, and SCP-1875-4.
1. See: Scientific American Suppl. November 6, 1915. Torres and his remarkable automatic devices. Vol. 80, 2079, 296-298.
SCP-1875-1
A steel chessboard table, 72 x 72 x 64 cm, with a standard eight-by-eight grid of 64 checkered squares painted on its surface. Based
on its composition and patina, research staff have identified the exact material as English crucible steel, likely cast between 182
and 187 .
On / /199 , Mobile Task Force - retrieved SCP-1875 from an abandoned laboratory facility discovered beneath the former
residence of University Professor M in shire, England.
A drive shaft, designed to connect with SCP-1875-3, protrudes from one side of the system's otherwise-seamless enclosure. The table
contains a sophisticated mechanical and biological system that controls a matrix of 64 electromagnets using an analytical engine
composed of the combined brain tissue of the twin daughters (designated SCP-1875-1/a and -1/b) of Russian chess prodigy
. Each square on the chessboard's surface sits above a single electromagnet, and each electromagnet can move one chess
piece to one of eight neighboring squares.
Researchers have developed several theories regarding the control mechanism's functional specifications, but the nature of its
biological component and possible sentience remain unverified.
SCP-1875-2
A complete set of 32 chess pieces carved in the Oriental style from human bone. Each piece is affixed with a thin (0.31 cm) base pad
of ferromagnetic iron. Samples of the bone used for the pieces have been matched genetically with tissue samples from SCP-1875-1/a and
SCP-1875-1/b.
Following the recovery of SCP-1875-1, an anonymous individual associated with Professor M 's estate submitted information to
Foundation personnel regarding these chess pieces, leading to their subsequent discovery in the possession of H in New
York City's Washington Square Park.

SCP-1875-3
A stationary steam engine manufactured by Maudslay, Sons & Field (c. 1840), also acquired from the estate of Professor M and
designed to spin SCP-1875-1's drive shaft.
The engine has been modified from factory stock to allow speed adjustments. It has five speed settings, labeled in roman numerals.
SCP-1875-4
A suit of 18th-century Samurai armor in the Gusoku style. Arrived in storage case with SCP-1875-3, courtesy of Professor M 's
estate. Historical evidence suggests that SCP-1875-4 would have been situated on a chair beside the chess table, serving as a
performance prop. Staff have not observed any objectively unusual activities, however, several visiting researchers have reported
prolonged feelings of anxiety after making eye contact with armor's face plate.
Addendum-01: Intake Report

SCP involved: 1875
Personnel involved: , Intake Analyst
Date: / /199
Location: Site-
Description:
SCP-1875 appears to be a fully mechanical chess-playing machine from the mid-19th century. Unlike other early "mechanical" chess
devices (see: Standage, Tom. The Turk: The Life and Times of the Famous Eighteenth-Century Chess-Playing Machine), SCP-1875 does not
appear to be designed to conceal a human operator within its case.
SCP-1875 was built for the same purpose as contemporaneous devices—as a traveling curiosity, designed to be played by volunteers
before a group of spectators, who would be charged an admission fee. Identities of several of the machine's previous owners are
known (see: [DATA EXPUNGED]), but reliable information regarding its original designer(s) and fabricator(s) remains elusive.
When questioned about the origin of SCP-1875, a representative from the estate of Professor M directed us to a Russian
newspaper clipping (see: [DATA EXPUNGED]) found among the Professor's belongings. The article concerns the disappearance of the twin
14-year-old daughters of Russian chess champion on / /18 . Subsequent historical records indicate that the
girls were never found, and that Russian authorities failed to identify the person(s) responsible. However, we have yet to establish
any connection between these events and SCP-1875.
Evidence of the machine's public appearances, beginning in 18 under the name The Samurai, have been found in Russian, British, and
American newspaper archives (see: [DATA EXPUNGED]). The last recorded appearance of The Samurai occurred on April , 1906, in San
Francisco, California. Its owner at the time, sideshow proprietor Mr. H H , perished in the aftermath of the earthquake
that struck San Francisco later that month. SCP-1875 was presumed to have been destroyed as well, until its recent discovery by the
Foundation.
After assembling the components of SCP-1875 at the Site- intake facility, we have begun testing the device for anomalous
properties.

Upon complete assembly, it was confirmed that SCP-1875 chess hardware is fully operational. In this test, a modern chess computer
with variable-strength software was used to measure SCP-1875's analytical intelligence.
We positioned one member of Class D personnel (1875-D1) in containment with the machine, seated behind the chessboard's black side
and facing 1875-4, which we positioned behind the white side. Five chess games were played, one on each of the steam engine's speed
settings. Instructions were provided through wireless speakers from behind plexiglass shielding to move each piece.
1875-D1 remained unharmed, and returned to Site- for next assignment.
Here's a quick list of the chess strength at each setting, as estimated on Elo rating system—we're confident about the numbers
measured on settings I through IV:
(I) 800-1000 Elo
(II) 1000-1200
(III) 1200-2500
(IV) 2500-
(V) 0- (?)
Test on setting V remained the outlier, and so we performed additional tests with chess-proficient researchers (See: File 1875-V- ,
Games - ):
Initially, SCP-1875 exceeded Elo, a % increase from the maximum rating measured in our setting-IV tests.
After game , SCP-1875 chess play was marked by illogical moves.
During game , illegal moves were observed, forcing us to abandon games-in-progress. This activity was seen more frequently
as testing progressed.
After game , erratic piece movement was observed. The speed at which SCP-1875 moved its pieces increased, and it began to
violently ram pieces together on the board.
Several chess pieces were chipped, and we decided to cease testing until we can determine a way to proceed without causing more
damage.
Staff currently suspects that setting V may be malfunctioning due to excess age and wear.
5 minutes later, the following was sent to all members of the SCP-1875 email distribution list:

SCP-1898
Non-Euclidian Playsets
By: Shebleha
Rating: 192
Wilson Score: 0.92
Original Version
Item #: SCP-1898
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: While in storage all instances of SCP-1898 are to be kept deconstructed and kept in their respective
boxes. All instances of SCP-1898 are to be stored in Containment Room-1898 located on Site- . Testing on any set/s of SCP-1898-A and
SCP-1898-B requires permission from two Level 3 Personnel. Testing on a set of SCP-1898-C requires permission from two Level 3
Personnel and one Level 4 Personnel. MTF PI-31 (aka. 'Mobius Strips') are to be contacted if an instance of SCP-1898 is discovered.
Description: All instances of SCP-1898 are construction sets that can be used to make shapes that do not follow Euclidean geometry.
The contents of each set vary in materials and shapes. The sets come in three sizes: Small, Medium and Large (SCP-1898-A, SCP-1898-B
and SCP-1898-C respectively). The Small and Medium sets are constructed like puzzles and the only difference is in the size, with
Small sets able to build shapes up to 30cm high and Medium sets able to build shapes up to 10m high. The Large sets are bigger than
the Small and Medium sets and are used to construct buildings. All sets can be disassembled and reassembled into a completely
different shape. The packaging of each instance of SCP-1898 varies, but all of them are named 'Non Euclidean Dimensions' by the
' Company', which does not exist in any registry, and so far has not been located.
The mechanism of how each set of SCP-1898 works is unknown. The pieces themselves are made from ordinary materials such as wood and
metal, and no instructions are provided with any of the sets. During construction, the subject will put together and take apart
various pieces; if asked about what they are trying to make, they will say that they are unsure. Given enough time, the subjects
eventually produce a sculpture that should be impossible to make. The subjects have always insisted that they are unsure of how they
managed to make it. Viewers watching the subject did not observe any abnormal behaviour, despite the anomalous result. Other than the
shapes being impossible, there is nothing else anomalous with them and no abnormal effects have been witnessed in subjects either
during or after tests.
The construction of the Large sets differs slightly in the sense that large groups of people and often construction machinery are
needed. However, there is always one subject that decides where all the pieces go. Houses and buildings made from Large sets will have
floors and furniture along the walls, looping corridors and infinite stairs. Despite gravity, people inside will be able to walk on
whatever is classed as the floor and perform tasks normally.
The Foundation first became aware of SCP-1898 on / / when Agent reported a piece of public artwork in the town of
[REDACTED] that was an impossible shape when looked at from any direction. Once confirmation had been made that it was anomalous, a
retrieval team was sent to acquire the shape and learn its origin. The artist was tracked down and questioned. It was learnt that he
had used a 'Non Euclidean Dimensions' construction set to make the shape and then sell it on to the town. The box was retrieved and
Class-B amnestics were given to the artist. Since then, more instances of SCP-1898 have been found across the world.
SCP-1898 Testing Log ...
Set used: SCP-1898-A-4

Subject: D-34578
Reason for Test: Initial test to determine anomalous effects of a set of SCP-1898
Result: Subject proceeded to work on the pieces. 16 minutes later a non-Euclidean sculpture was made. Subject was isolated and
monitored for the duration of his time before termination for any signs of anomalous properties.
Conclusion: The sets are used to build non-Euclidean shapes. No anomalous properties or degradation of mental health was witnessed
in the subject.
Set used: SCP-1898-A-12 and SCP-1898-A-27

Subject: D-34693
Reason for Test: To see if pieces from different sets could be mixed together.
Result: Subject proceeded to work on the pieces. 25 minutes later the subject managed to produce a single shape that had been
constructed using both sets.
Conclusion: Sets of the same size can be mixed together successfully.
Set used: SCP-1898-A-8 and SCP-1898-B-5

Subject: D-34694
Reason for Test: To see if different sizes of sets could be mixed together.
Result: Subject proceeded to work on the pieces for 42 minutes. Resultant structure appeared to be a triangle that folded back on
itself in such a way that allowed it to be rolled. Pieces from both sets were used.
Conclusion: Two sets of different sizes can be mixed together successfully.
Set used: SCP-1898-C-3

Subjects: D-34694, D-34695, D-34696, D-34697, D-34698, D-34699, D-34700, D-34701, D-34702, D-34703 and D-34704.
Reason for Test: To determine the anomalous properties of a 'Large' set.
Result: Subjects proceeded to construct a house with D-34698 as the one issuing orders. After 8 days construction was finished.
Conclusion: The house displayed anomalous properties such as upside-down rooms and one looping corridor. Subjects were able to walk
on whatever was designated as a floor. The plumbing was fully functional and contained no unusual features to counteract gravity.
Set used: SCP-1898-A-7 and several marked pieces that were constructed to be identical to some of the pieces in SCP-1898-A-7.
Subject: D-346706
Reason for Test: To determine if pieces not from a set of SCP-1898 can be mixed with pieces from a set of SCP-1898.
Result: The pieces that were not from SCP-1898-A-7 were marked with a small dot and mixed with the pieces from SCP-1898-A-7. Subject
was not informed of the extra pieces. The subject proceeded to work on the pieces and after 7 minutes managed to build a shape that
contained some of the marked pieces.
Conclusion: Pieces not from a set of SCP-1898 can still be used to construct non-Euclidean sculptures.
Set used: A full set of identical pieces were constructed based on the material and shape of SCP-1898-A-7.
Subject: D-346707
Reason for Test: To determine if it is the shape of the pieces that are anomalous.
Result: Subject proceeded to work on the pieces in an ordinary manner. Subject showed signs of confusion that were not present in
other tests. After 1 hour and 12 minutes the subject finally managed to construct a non-Euclidean shape.
Conclusion: Anomalous property is likely due to the shapes of the pieces. However, the subject displayed signs of confusion and it
took much longer than previous tests with a Small set.
Addendum-1898-1: Attached SCP-1898 Photographs
Addendum-1898-2: Even though various public artwork may look like instances of SCP-1898, that does not mean that they are. Please
check the shape in question thoroughly before calling it in. We don't have the resources to be running everywhere only to find out
that they're just ordinary sculptures. - Doctor █████
SCP-1961

Original Version
Item #: SCP-1961
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1961 is stored in Research Bay 12 at Site-22, under standard keycard-level security. SCP-1961 is
only to be used for experiments on D-Class Personnel, with the approval of Level 3 or higher research staff. Conversion of other
Foundation staff is suspended by O5 order, as are requests for SCP-1961 usage by any non-Foundation organization, regardless of
clearance level.
Any person processed through SCP-1961 is considered an instance of SCP-1961-1. Merged instances of SCP-1961-1 become SCP-1961-2.
Containment staff should be aware that while SCP-1961 itself is Safe, SCP-1961-1 and SCP-1961-2 are Euclid Class. If it is necessary
to terminate a specimen of either SCP-1961-1 or SCP-1961-2, fire or dissolution in acid are the recommended means. Personnel guarding
SCP-1961-1 or SCP-1961-2 will therefore be issued flamethrowers.
SCP-1961-1 subjects are required to wear Type 47-B Containment Suits when in the presence of Foundation staff, other instances of SCP-
1961-1, or any instance of SCP-1961-2, unless direct exposure is required for experimentation. D-Class Personnel converted to SCP-
1961-1 are exempt from monthly termination, but subject to all other D-Class restrictions, and should be considered a higher escape
risk. SCP-1961-2 specimens acquire greater strength in proportion to their size, and larger subjects should be handled with
appropriate caution.
Converted Foundation staff should be considered of questionable loyalty and subject to Security Protocol 10-C.
Instances of SCP-1961-1 and SCP-1961-2 are contained in a standard maintenance/restraint area for live specimens.
Description: SCP-1961 is a 2.5 m x 1.5 m x 1.5 m mirrored booth, composed of wood, steel, and [DATA EXPUNGED]. It is designed to emit
a mixture of and radiation and concentrate the rays on a human subject, previously injected with [DATA EXPUNGED] and
processed SCP-2408-1 blood. [See Document 1961-P-3 for synthesis and administration instructions.] Use of SCP-1961 is fatal to
subjects who have not been prepared with the appropriate injections. SCP-1961 processing is not reversible.
The intent of the procedure is to give the treated subject the power to modify his/her physical form at will, and maintain the change
voluntarily for an indefinite period. The SCP-1961 procedure is only partially successful. Treated subjects (hereafter referred to as
SCP-1961-1) adopt an amorphous form, composed of their original mass, converted to a substance resembling protoplasm. Despite the lack
of recognizable vital organs, SCP-1961-1 subjects retain their intelligence and personality in their new form. SCP-1961-1 subjects can
learn to shape themselves into any form that conserves mass; this is not an innate skill, and there is wide variance in talent among
individual subjects (approximately 40% have eventual success in simulating a human form).
SCP-1961-1 subjects may assume the form of non-human or even anomalous beings, however they gain no additional strength or special
abilities when doing so.
Form conversion is physically tiring, and SCP-1961-1 subjects have not been able to retain human form for a period longer than four
hours, requiring at least eight hours in amorphous form before another attempt can be made. Subjects are also likely to lose
cohesiveness when angry, startled, or forced to concentrate deeply on another task.
SCP-1961-1 subjects are typically contained within waterproof environmental suits. This prevents unauthorized interactions between
specimens, as well as allowing subjects to maintain a somewhat human appearance (and a fully human appearance by learning to convert
their head and hands).
SCP-1961-1 subjects can merge with each other to form larger amorphous forms, designated SCP-1961-2. The merger process is voluntary,
but apparently not reversible. It is unknown how many individuals can merge into an SCP-1961-2 colony; the largest under containment
has . Theoretically, there is no limit to the size of an SCP-1961-2 specimen. SCP-1961-2 colonies lose the ability to transform into
recognizable forms, and either cannot or will not communicate with Foundation personnel. SCP-1961-1 subjects can silently communicate
with SCP-1961-2 specimens by unknown means, and claim that SCP-1961-2 specimens are in a "state of communion" and retain aspects of
their intelligence. A complex set of relationships between SCP-1961-1 and SCP-1961-2 subjects has developed, poorly understood by
Foundation researchers. SCP-1961-1 subjects have been notably uncooperative in explaining this aspect of their development.
Due to the lack of blood and vital organs, both SCP-1961-1 and SCP-1961-2 specimens are substantially more resistant than humans to
trauma and hostile environments. Although initially developed for espionage activities, SCP-1961-1 specimens have been under
consideration for both combat activities and exploration of areas difficult for humans to safely access. If they can be adequately
controlled, SCP-1961-2 specimens may be suitable for manual labor in similar environments.
Analysis of SCP-1961-1 and -2 cellular structure suggests specimens should be capable of reproduction through binary fission, however
no specimen in Foundation custody has been observed doing so.
Addendum: SCP-1961 was developed in by the Research Group for the , with semi-official access to certain Foundation
materials. Object was transferred to Foundation control in after the results were deemed too dangerous to be used by [REDACTED].
Ongoing research has been monitored by [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] and continued Foundation control has been in dispute for years.
[For O5 eyes only; message from Dr. , former Director of SCP-1961 research, to the O5 Committee]
From: Dr.
To: O5-
Subject: SCP-1961
I am well aware that the O5 committee will do as it pleases, and I can only make suggestions, but I hope these will be taken under
serious consideration. I request immediate transfer from SCP-1961, and recommend that all research on it be halted. If we wish to do
what is best for humanity, SCP-1961 should be destroyed, and all specimens of SCP-1961-1 and SCP-1961-2 terminated. General
would have an army of 1961-1 units, supported by teams of 1961-2. He is insane.
SCP-1961-1 specimens are not spies, "super soldiers" or our personnel given useful powers. They will turn against us at the first
opportunity.
The Foundation should not have helped create them, and we are damned if we continue.

Item #: SCP-1981
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1981 is to be kept inside a secure video storage unit at the media archive of Site . When in
use, SCP-1981 should not be removed from its casing or exposed to any strong magnetic sources. A Betamax home video system and an
analog television has been provided in Observation Theatre 02 at Site , as well as video equipment to record viewings.
Description: SCP-1981 is a standard Betamax tape. "RONALD REGAN CUT UP WHILE TALKING"(sic) has been handwritten on the adhesive
sticker in felt tip pen. Laboratory analysis indicates that SCP-1981 is made of ordinary material, and serial numbers correspond with
home cassette tapes produced in September of 1980. SCP-1981 was initially encountered by a filing clerk in the Ronald Reagan
Presidential Library in 1991, who upon watching it alerted the police, with the intent to find the tape's creator to press "obscenity
charges". A low-level police investigation was conducted, at which point the Foundation was alerted and secured SCP-1981. Class A
amnestics were administered before could be notified. Further investigation of the library's records by Foundation personnel
failed to yield any leads on SCP-1981's origin.
SCP-1981 appears to be a home video recording of former United States President Ronald Reagan delivering his "Evil Empire" speech to
the National Association of Evangelicals at Sheraton Twin Towers Hotel, Orlando, FL on 3/8/1983. However, at 1 minute and 10 seconds,
the speech begins to deviate heavily, eventually resembling no known speech ever made by Reagan. Beginning at approximately 5 minutes,
multiple incisions, lacerations and penetration wounds can be seen being slowly inflicted, though no corresponding source of these
wounds is visible. Despite suffering bodily harm that would likely incapacitate an ordinary person, Reagan will continue to deliver
his speech until either his vocal cords are severed or the tape degrades to static at 22:34.
Upon rewinding SCP-1981 and initiating playback, Reagan will deliver an entirely new speech, often radically different from the ones
previously observed. Topics have included torture, child molestation and ritual sacrifice. Trauma inflicted upon Reagan also appears
to be divergent, with impalement, genital mutilation, and [REDACTED] having all been observed. In roughly one in seven viewings of
SCP-1981, a figure clothed in black robes with a conical hood will have replaced a random member of Reagan's press detail, henceforth
referred to as SCP-1981-1. The significance of the appearance of SCP-1981-1 is currently unknown.
The speeches delivered by Reagan are mostly incoherent, lacking any sort of underlying thematic structure and largely being composed
of nonsensical anecdotes and parables. However, occasionally references are made to future events that Reagan could not possibly have
known about or predicted, such as the September 11 terrorist attacks, the result of the 2008 Russian elections, and .
For this reason, rigorous time and effort has been devoted to recording the speech delivered on each playback. Attempts to replicate
SCP-1981 onto a similar Betamax tape have met with failure, however, cameras used to record the television SCP-1981 is broadcasted on
have succeeded in "capturing" individual playbacks. Any observations performed on SCP-1981 must be recorded on the camcorder provided,
and delivered for subsequent review to Dr. B , project supervisor.
Years of natural magnetic interference has severely degraded SCP-1981's signal quality, making it even more difficult to sift
meaningful information from playbacks. Additionally, the gruesome nature of the mutilations performed upon Reagan have been described
as "extremely disturbing", and for this reason it is recommended that any personnel feeling squeamish or ill after playback visit the
on-site psychiatry facility for a level 3 evaluation.
As Ronald Reagan was alive at the time of SCP-1981's containment, a surveillance net was deployed to establish any relation between
him and SCP-1981. No known connection was developed, though Reagan would frequently complain about "nightmares" before his mental
state degenerated due to Alzheimer's.

Item #: SCP-2006
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2006 is to be contained at Site 118 in an airtight containment cell. SCP-2006 must be constantly
monitored for changes in form, which are to be noted immediately. All personnel coming into contact with SCP-2006 are required to
enroll in an acting course with a focus on expressing fear and surprise.
Every month, SCP-2006 is to be shown at least one new extremely low-quality horror or science fiction movie containing horror
elements. All interaction with SCP-2006 must confirm that SCP-2006 continues to believe that said works demonstrate a superb grasp of
horror.
Description: SCP-2006 is an anomalous spherical entity roughly 50 centimeters in diameter when in its default state. SCP-2006's stated
goal is to cause feelings of fear and/or horror in as many humans as possible. To accomplish this purpose, SCP-2006 possesses the
ability to change its shape, mass, volume, density, chemical structure, and voice to any form that it desires. Currently, there is no
known way to damage SCP-2006. The extent of its shape-shifting abilities is unknown, and is currently thought to be unlimited.
Currently, SCP-2006 has demonstrated a fondness for taking the forms of various entities and villains from the various horror and
science fiction movies that it has witnessed. The most common form that SCP-2006 has taken is that of "Ro-Man" from the 1953 movie
Robot Monster.
SCP-2006 is capable of speaking even when it possesses the form of an entity that is normally unable to speak. SCP-2006 will generally
attempt to startle and/or scare any individual it comes into contact with, but after doing so, will become affable and friendly. The
reason behind this is currently unknown.
Although SCP-2006 has repeatedly stated its goal of causing as much fear as possible, SCP-2006 is a poor judge of concepts that cause
fear in humans, and constantly searches for new methods in which to accomplish its goal. This poor recognition extends to recognition
of emotions in humans, as SCP-2006 is incapable of distinguishing between subtle differences in emotion that would be obvious to a
human.

Interviewer: Dr. Louef

Interviewed: SCP-2006
(Dr. Louef enters the room. SCP-2006 is seen crouched, near the door. SCP-2006 is in its "Ro-Man" form.)
(SCP-2006 proceeds to leap out of its crouch, throwing its arms in the air.)
SCP-2006: FEAR ME MORTAL. I AM THE MIGHTY RO-MAN! COWER IN FEAAAAAAAR!
(Dr. Louef screams, and stumbles backwards, raising his hand in protection.)
Dr. Louef: Please mighty Ro-Man! Don't h-hurt me!
SCP-2006: (laughing) Ha ha! It's just me, doc! I got you pretty good, didn't I?
Dr. Louef: SCP-2006? O-oh dear lord, you really frightened me there. I was about to have a heart attack.
SCP-2006: It's what I do, doc! Ha ha BOO!
(Dr. Louef stumbles again)
SCP-2006: Heh heh still got it. So, was there something that you wanted to talk about, doc?
Dr. Louef: Y-yes. I-I was wondering . why exactly do you feel the need to cause fear in others?
SCP-2006: I don't understand the question.
Dr. Louef: That is, why do you scare people?
SCP-2006: Oh! That's an easy one. I scare people because it's fun. And, you know, it's what I do. Just like you do doctor-y stuff; I
do scary stuff. I'm the best at it! I don't really see what else there is about it.
Dr. Louef: That you are. I'll take my leave then.

SCP-2006: Come back around soon! I'll have some really scary stuff next time. By the way I WILL EAT YOUR SOOOOUL!
Dr. Louef: Let me out of here! I'm going to die of fright!
Addendum: The current Site Director for Site 118 has issued the following memorandum regarding SCP-2006:
I have been getting reports of some of the lax behavior regarding SCP-2006. Many personnel have been heard laughing at SCP-2006
during surveillance when it watches a new movie, or when it attempts to scare individuals. Some personnel have been heard
questioning why SCP-2006 is classified as a Keter entity.
I am here to remind you that a Keter entity is a Keter entity, regardless of how innocuous it may seem. No, SCP-2006 is not a
rampaging demi-god, nor is it a regenerating super lizard. However, it possesses the same level of danger as any other Keter that
the Foundation has contained.
Think of SCP-2006's purpose. It wishes to scare people. Imagine what would happen if SCP-2006 broke containment, and found out what
really scared people. Imagine if it saw the horror and fear of war, or the concepts of paranoia or phobias common to each and every
human being.
Imagine if it found the true horror of a nuclear holocaust or an XK-Class scenario. Now couple that with an entity that possesses
shape-shifting abilities with no known limits, and you'll understand why it's classified as Keter.
All personnel mentioned above have been suitably disciplined. I do not want to hear about this again.

SCP-2014 in its location of discovery.
Item #: SCP-2014
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2014 is to be kept in an artificial habitat appropriate for geckos in Site-27. It should be cared
for as specified in care sheet 2014-A, derived from open-source material on Eublepharis macularius. SCP-2014 may use its skateboard
for recreational purposes if good behaviour is maintained, although it must be kept under surveillance with anesthesiologists standing
by in case it attempts to breach containment.
Description: SCP-2014 is an adult male gecko belonging to the Eublepharis macularius species, measuring 8.5 cm in length. SCP-2014 is
physically indistinguishable from other members of its species.
SCP-2014 is sapient and possesses telekinetic abilities. It can use these abilities to manipulate objects from afar. SCP-2014 is
capable of manipulating any object within 24 meters of itself, regardless of whether or not it is visible. SCP-2014 identifies itself
as “Zsar Magoth”, an extradimensional entity suspected to have been responsible for creating multiple cults and causing several
crimes, such as murder, theft, and indecent exposure.
SCP-2014 came to the attention of the Foundation on the 21st of February, 1998, when one of the contestants in a skateboarding
championship in Los Angeles, California was seen performing physically impossible stunts. It was later discovered that the contestant
had performed an occult ritual in order to summon the consciousness of Zsar Magoth into the body of his pet gecko. SCP-2014 was kept
inside the pocket of the contestant, and used its telekinetic powers to give him an advantage in the championship. All witnesses were
given Class-B amnestics.
Addendum: Interview Log
Interviewed: SCP-2014
Interviewer: Doctor
Foreword: SCP-2014 was given a pen and paper to manipulate telekinetically in order to communicate. All answers are transcribed
verbatim.
<Begin Log>
Doctor ██████: Hello, SCP-2014. Can you understand me?
SCP-2014: Loud and clear, doc-o.
Doctor ██████: I want to ask you some questions, if you don’t mind.
SCP-2014: Sure, that sounds gnarly.
Doctor ██████: The body you are occupying is not your original one, correct?
SCP-2014: That's right, I got dibs on this lizard booty when this wimpy kid summoned me. Dude was flipping his wig over some skate
competition. I could see that he was a total newb that would make nothing but sketchy moves. But I couldn't believe I was being
summoned for something like that, y'know? And the little flake didn't even bring me a sacrifice. Don't kids read Lovecraft these
days?
Doctor ██████: This person summoned you to get an advantage in the competition, is that right?
SCP-2014: Yeah, the little guy wanted me to use my wicked powers to kick his skills up a notch. Nothing against that, but I
personally think you should work for what you want. Just look at yours truly. Dozens of cults have stolen, killed, and totally
wigged out in my name.
Doctor ██████: Then why did you help him?
SCP-2014: I gotta be honest, doc-o. Every rule has its exception. And the exception for me was skating, because in all my aeons I've
never seen something so far out. I used to think you guys were all a bunch of flakes who I would gladly destroy once I became
powerful enough. But now I know better.
Doctor ██████: I see. You also claim to be an extradimensional entity. Could you tell us more about where you came from, and if
there are more like you there?
SCP-2014: It is pretty insane. There are planets and stars like in your universe, but life ain't the same. We've got stuff like
planet-sized, star-eating crystal serpents, sick lightning storms that fertilize the ground to create clockwork plants, some chill
oceans filled with diamond corals and also winged carnivorous eggs that never stop singing Spice Girls songs. And yeah, there's like
a bajillion guys like me. It's hella hard to stand out from the crowd to get someone to summon you and give a sacrifice, but I get
by.
Doctor ██████: What would happen if your current body were destroyed?
SCP-2014: I would go back home. And if I didn't get a sacrifice, the wife and slime spawn wouldn't be too stoked about it.
Doctor ██████: You have a wife and child?
SCP-2014: Dude, PLEASE don't remind me.
Doctor ██████: Alright. This is enough for the interview. Thank you, SCP-2014.
SCP-2014: Hey doc-o, can I ask you a favor?
Doctor ██████: That depends.
SCP-2014: See if you can find some time to go skating with me. I can teach you wicked moves if you're in the mood.
Doctor ██████: I'll think about it.

Item #: SCP-2020
Object Class: Euclid-exsequi
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2020 is kept in a Type 4 Humanoid Containment Cell at Site 17. Standard amenities and precautions
associated with T4HCC are in place. Dietary Supplement 2020-9, consisting of 1.4 kilograms of used shredded paper, is to be provided
daily. SCP-2020's cell is to be monitored for any unusual activity, with all vocalizations transcribed.
128 grams of tissue samples from SCP-2020 are kept at Subsite-Bio-17. Access to SCP-2020 or its biological samples are to be approved
by the head of SCP-2020's research team.
Description: SCP-2020 is a sapient humanoid entity approximately 2.2m (7'3") in height and 70kg (150 lbs) in mass. SCP-2020 possesses
unusually long and thin limbs, as well as facial features commonly associated with "grey aliens" (see file photo) and bright green
coloration.
SCP-2020's body is composed primarily of a novel form of natural rubber that appears to serve skeletal, muscular, circulatory, and
endocrine functions. SCP-2020's digestive system and nutritional requirements are consistent with its diet, which consists entirely of
paper and water. SCP-2020 has not shown any signs of growth or aging since recovery. Further study of SCP-2020's biology has been
hindered by the rubber's toughness and resistance to tearing, which renders standard methodologies ineffective, as well as its
dissimilarity to terrestrial biology.
SCP-2020 claims to originate from a technologically advanced extraterrestrial civilization, but will make wildly different claims
regarding the nature and location of this civilization when questioned. Given the circumstances of SCP-2020's recovery (see Document
Bilenkin-Roswell-2020), this avenue of research is nonetheless considered viable.
SCP-2020's behavior suggests that it shares many psychological similarities with humans, such as the ability to learn, a desire for
interaction, and partial understanding of social norms. It is fluent in English and responds to the names "Artie", "Bobby", and
"Izzy". It has not engaged in hostile behavior, and appears indifferent to its own containment. SCP-2020 will frequently attempt to
engage personnel in conversations regarding its desire to write science fiction, and numerous ideas it has for science fiction
stories. It has thus far failed to produce any actual writing, citing an inability to choose a concept. See attached transcript for
details.
Addendum: Excerpt from Transcript 2020-1-ASO. SCP-2020 was permitted to speak to Researcher King on any topic it wished.
No, no. Wait. Guys. I have an idea. A better idea. There's this facility, right? It was made by someone at some time in the past to,
to bring the whole world back from the apocalypse. Like, something could blow a big hole in the Earth, and after the facility went
"game over, play again why slash en" that hole could just be the Marianas trench, because the facility can do pretty much anything,
with physics and technology, I think. Cliche, right? I don't really know how exactly this fits into a story or anything, but I mean,
it could be the setting, I think? I guess I can think
Guys. I had another idea. Forget that one. This one, this one is a brain in a jar, that's a guy. Cliche, right? But like, the idea
here is that I'd just run with it. Crazy nutty professor type, nutty inventions that don't work, complete nonsense. But it's all
working. Guys. That guy and his inventions could be like, a superhero or something. Germy vacuum, the, the vacuum brain in a jar
with germs. That sounds wrong. I'll think of something.
It's okay though, because I just got this awesome idea. There's a wizard, wait for it, from space. A space wizard. Guys. That's not
the only part though. He's a cyborg. And he's with five, with five catgirls. And guess what the twist is? That's right. The
catgirls? Also cyborgs. And they fight crime. Cliche, right? I mean, but it's not, because they're fighting space crime. Crime in
space. Does that make sense? Guys. The story would be about them being cyborgs and fighting crime.
Actually, no. Because I just got a better idea. Wait. It's an AI, right? An artificial intelligence on a computer. Cliche, right?
Well, it makes simulations of the perfect world for that person, and then, and then it eats their brains. Guys. But maybe it's not
actually doing that, and I, or I guess the characters, don't know for sure that it's actually doing that because we can't see inside
it. But here's a plot twist, though. It then puts a fake brain in them and makes the bodies convince other people to go into the
simulation. It's a horror story, or a sci-fi horror story. Science horror story.
Wait. Guys. Here's an idea for you, I just got this idea. There's a time machine, right? And it sends people to the future and then
back to the present, and in the future, in the future everyone dies from an asteroid. I mean, not everyone, just enough people that
it's like everyone. Cliche, right? Well, the main characters, or I guess it could be the villains, or villain protagonists, they're
trying to make sure that future happens. Guys. That's because every time they try to look at another future, that future is even
worse because it involves actually everyone dying, except for one time where it's like a "who wants to live forever" deal. I don't
know what the actual story is, but I'll think of something.
Okay, wait, but seriously. Better idea. Guys. There's this alien, right? Like they have in the movies, with the green skin and the
big black eyes and everything. Cliche, right? But wait. And for whatever reason, I'll think of that later, it really wants to become
a science fiction writer, but it can't stop coming up with ideas long enough to do it. And the twist, here's the twist, is that it's
talking to some people, and they're from a government agency that already has all of the things it's talking about, and they're all
like "how does it know this stuff" and "does it even know that it's all real", right?
Wait. Wait wait wait. Two words, just two words: Laser. Butt. Disease. Wait. Guys. That was actually three. That was three words.
This is going to be harder than I thought.

SCP-2029 during recovery.
Item #: SCP-2029
Object Class: Euclid (Undergoing Neutralization)
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2029 is to be stored in a hermetically-sealed, HDPE-lined ceramic container in Biological Research
Area-12's Biosafety Level 4 containment wing. Sampling of the acetic acid held in SCP-2029-1 is to be conducted daily. If titration
reveals greater than 50000 ppm of SCP-2029-2 by volume, SCP-2029-1 is to undergo the neutralization procedure described below.
Neutralization of particulate matter produced by SCP-2029 is to be performed in a dual-chamber BSL-4 cabinet reinforced to withstand
the sterilization burn necessary to deactivate the material. During transport from its storage unit to a suitable BSL-4 cabinet, SCP-
2029's container is to remain immersed in a sealed 1-quart mason jar filled with a 23% acetic acid solution.
Following transport to a BSL-4 cabinet, SCP-2029's container is to be opened and any accumulated particulate matter disposed of.
Following disposal of bulk particulate, the cabinet's atmosphere is to be siphoned off. The atmosphere and bulk particulate are to be
subjected to a 10-second C2N2 sterilization burn. Following this procedure, SCP-2029 is to be returned to its container, immersed in
500 mL of 23% acetic acid solution, and transported back to its storage location.
Description: SCP-2029 describes a chicken egg of indeterminate age occupying a 946 mL (1 qt.) molded glass canning jar. Collectively,
these two objects are referred to as SCP-2029-1. During initial recovery of SCP-2029-1 by the Foundation, the jar contained a 540 mL
sample of dilute acetic acid almost completely saturated with what was later determined to be an anomalous form of hydrogen sulfide
which maintains a solid state at room temperature. This hydrogen sulfide is designated SCP-2029-2. No anomalous characteristics could
be attributed to either the canning jar or the dilute acetic acid sample, both of which were replaced in accordance with current
containment procedures.
SCP-2029-1 can be observed to continually produce SCP-2029-2 through an unknown process, averaging 1.73 mL per hour. No commensurate
loss of mass or volume is detectable from SCP-2029-2, in an evident display of ectoentropic phenomena. Despite an immediate lack of
correlation between SCP-2029-1's mass and the manifestation of SCP-2029-2, it has been observed that SCP-2029-1's total mass is
gradually diminishing due to to continuing decomposition of the object, as SCP-2029-1's mass decreases, SCP-2029-2 is produced in
fractionally smaller amounts.
The SCP-2029-2 form is distinct from normal hydrogen sulfide in several ways. The compound displays uncharacteristic toxicity and
intense reactivity and corrosivity against even strongly aromatic compounds and nonreactive metallic elements. SCP-2029-2 also
corrodes biological tissue with particular rapidity and severity.
SCP-2029-2 displays catalytic properties during this process, converting sulfur and hydrogen liberated from water molecules into
additional SCP-2029-2. This process has a side effect of liberating disproportionate amounts of carbon dioxide not accounted for
through either the corrosive or catalytic processes. This phenomenon is thought to be related to the previously described ectoentropic
property discovered in SCP-2029-1.
These effects have been flagged as causative factors in a potential GH-Class "Dead Greenhouse" event if SCP-2029-2 was to come into
contact with abundant biological tissue outside of controlled circumstances. This potentiality was recognized in the aftermath of
Incident 2029-1.

Item #: SCP-2059
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2059 is to be contained within a modified containment area designed for Class-IV Hostile Amorphous
Entities. The unit must comprise a shaft, 40m deep and 15m in diameter, composed of high-gloss steel plating. This plating is to be
replaced as need be to maintain a fine polish throughout. The opening of this shaft is to be covered with a shock-proof plexiglass
plate that can be removed remotely. Additionally, the containment unit is to be equipped with necessary video and audio surveillance
equipment, as well as a speaker system in order to facilitate communication with SCP-2059-1.
Description: SCP-2059 is an autonomous and sentient mass of flesh, bones and organs. The entire mass is seemingly dominated by a large
yellow sensory organ that does not correspond to that of any known species. The organ resembles an eye in composition, but further
study has shown that it is capable of detecting infrared radiation and heat signatures. SCP-2059 appears capable of rearranging itself
at will, but normally it follows a usual composition: the exterior is smooth flesh covering a grid of bones that protect vital organs
and brain tissue in the center of the mass. SCP-2059 does not require extraneous sustenance. Any living creature touching SCP-2059
will be absorbed into its mass, but keratinous material (skin, hair and nails) is discarded. At the time of writing, SCP-2059 consists
of:
1 blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus)

1 giant squid of unknown species
2 bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)
Several specimens of various livestock
Approx. 30 human beings
1 dead human being, in advanced stages of decomposition
Several specimens of various household pets
Approx. 300 rodents
An undetermined amount of insects
SCP-2059 has a tendency of attempting to fill a space completely if it is confined in one. This is assumed to be to help it retain
cohesiveness.
SCP-2059 exhibits highly aggressive behaviour towards all human and animal life; it will attempt to either kill or assimilate any
organisms on sight. While in a passive state, SCP-2059 is usually gathered on the bottom of its containment, with most of its mass
pressed against one of the corners.
Despite SCP-2059 having multiple sets of vital organs, it does not appear to be using most of them; PET tracer scans have shown that
almost 85% of all organs within SCP-2059 are inactive and unused. See Interview Log 2059-02 for more information.
Addendum 2059-01: On / /20 , a verbal connection was made with an individual within SCP-2059. This individual is hereby referred to
as SCP-2059-1. The following is an audio transcript of the event.
Interviewed: SCP-2059-1
Interviewer: Dr. N
Foreword: Transcript of initial contact; Dr. N was assigned to supervise SCP-2059. SCP-2059-1's speech has been translated from
Hindi.
<Begin Log>
[Dr. N is in the observation room, filing paperwork. Surveillance cameras show a face emerging from SCP-2059, gasping for air.]
SCP-2059-1: Ah! Finally! He let me on the surface!
Dr. N█████: [Is visibly startled] What?
SCP-2059-1: Hello? Is Is anybody out there? He has seen you in your white robes!
[The sound of a coffee mug being shattered is heard and Dr. N opens communications to their supervisor.]
Dr. N█████: [stuttering] Sir..? Sir, SCP-2059 is speaking. I can't figure out what it is saying.
SCP-2059-1: Where is this? He feels cold.
Site Director ████████: Please remain calm, we will send someone there.
SCP-2059-1: Where is the sun?
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Following initial contact, Dr. N was reassigned to supervising another SCP object. Dr. J has been
assigned to this object due to their fluency in Hindi.
Addendum 2059-02: SCP-2059-1 was questioned about its identity and for further details about SCP-2059. It was soon established that
SCP-2059-1 was K R , a Buddhist monk who was reported missing in India in 18 . The following is an audio transcript of
a conversation with SCP-2059-1.
Interviewed: SCP-2059-1
Interviewer: Dr. J
Foreword: This event occurs shortly after initial contact with SCP-2059-1. During the time in between logs, SCP-2059 has rearranged
multiple times.

SCP-2059-1: Why is there so little light? He cannot see anything.
Dr. J████: [Dr. J enters the observation room and opens communications into the containment] Hello, SCP-2059. This is Doctor
J of the Foundation.
SCP-2059-1: A man — or woman, of medicine? I hear you, sister J , where are you?
Dr. J████: I am in an observation booth above you, you shouldn't be able to see me. Could you answer some questions?
<SCP-2059-1 is silent for a duration of 3 minutes, until SCP-2059 rearranges; SCP-2059-1's face is now on the surface, with all of
its features present>
SCP-2059-1: I asked him to move me upwards.
Dr. J████: Asked who?
SCP-2059-1: The child, of course! Who else could I ask?
Dr. J████: Child? What do you mean?
SCP-2059-1: Well Not exactly a child, he is [REDACTED] the son of [unintelligible: Gblerd? Garblord?]. But I can feel that he is
afraid, like a child who is cornered.
Dr. J████: How are you able to tell that?
SCP-2059-1: We are connected as one! But sadly, our thoughts do not quite translate to one another; his thoughts are great, loud and
terrifying, while mine are much, much smaller and easily drowned.
[DATA REDACTED FOR BREVITY]
Dr. J████: Our scans show that SCP-2059, the thing you are in, does not use more of itself. Why is that?
SCP-2059-1: He simply doesn't know what to do with them, poor child Unsure what all these bags and tracts do or where they go. He
has barely even understood how a heart works, let alone a liver. To you it might seem obvious, but he Comes from a different place,
with different rules.
Dr. J████: Where has he come from?
SCP-2059-1: [DATA EXPUNGED] third Cycle of [unintelligible: Far shorn? Farhorn?] I think. It really isn't that easy translating it.
Dr. J████: How are you Sane? All the other individuals aren't.

A scanner reproduction of an instance of SCP-2076 affecting an advertising folder
Item #: SCP-2076
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]
1. CDC-SCP-4298, The Foundation Guidebook For Anomalous Pathological Conditions, Edition 3, Page 782
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

Incident Log 2076-A
A depiction of SCP-2076's manifestation during Incident 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 rosalia[3] 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 , known by the local community as the current
president of the " Neighbors and Women's Association".
3. Golden Lion Tamarin
2. , IL
[ ] 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 in an advanced state of
decomposition. [ ]
Dr. Gregory Masters, Health Surveillance Inspector
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.

Fan art depicting SCP-2089-1 being physically harmed
Encouraging SCP-2089-1 to commit suicide.
"Anti-Blogs" established by followers to expose others to SCP-2089-1 related content.
As of 9/25/20 , SCP-2089 has 10,872 followers.
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.
<Begin Log>
Researcher: Hello, D-90327. I 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: I told you. I 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, I 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 I 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. I didn't have a pen, so I 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 I picked at this thing, it probably took me three days to make that. I think I
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.

MrBRASIL: I'll send the pic.
MrBRASIL: I ... 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.
excerpt Close
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, I will be performing a bit of fan service, if you will. [pause] Do I 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.
I I did it.
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 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. I 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.
I told you so, didn't I?
The following is a comment in response to the video:
ExplodingPopTart: What the hell is wrong with you sick, demented people? You're telling me you ENJOY seeing an innocent person get
brutally murdered?
Aryanne:

SCP-2131
Antipope
By: Doctor Cimmerian

Rating: 144
Wilson Score: 0.84
Original Version
Photograph of SCP-2131 taken shortly after event 2131-19. Note the lack of injury.
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[1] 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.

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 I need you to answer my questions.
SCP-2131: I ruled the Churchlands from the moment the Daevites murdered Boniface[2]. For nearly 8 centuries I have fought battles for
the lord against the blood demons.
2. According to historical records this was the Roman Pope that Benedict XIII opposed.
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: I understand. We'll keep working on some way to do that.
SCP-2131: Thank you.
Interview Log 17
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. I know it's been a while, I've been working on trying to get you home.
SCP-2131: I have been gone for too long. My people have surely been destroyed.
Dr. Sampson: You can't know that.
SCP-2131: You're right. I don't know it. But the Daevites are not known for their timidness. I 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. I have been cut off from my god and I have been cut off from my people. The lord sees my weakness.
Dr. Sampson: I see.
SCP-2131: It doesn't matter. Even if all that awaits me is a Daevite blood altar, I have to go back.
Dr. Sampson: We'll keep working on it. I promise you'll know as soon as we have a way.
SCP-2131: Thank you.
Addendum 1
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.
I am also approving certain amenities which have been requested for some time, and which I 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
I 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.
~ Site-88 Assistant Director Amanda Malkin

SCP-2137
The Forensic Ghost Of Tupac Shakur
By: Max Landis

Posted: Wed Sep 10 2014
Rating: 569
Wilson Score: 0.92
Original Version
Audio Adaptations
Site-42
SCP-2137, out of its casing.
Item #: SCP-2137
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.

Now it's not my place to tell you what to do,
But nigga I know what I would do if I 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-2137-1 on record.
Recovery Log Hide
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.
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
I 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,[1] 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.
1. At the time of his murder in 1996, Shakur was twenty-five years old.
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.
Help me catch my killers

And I'll let you have yours

What if everyone knew that bout to fall?
You and the

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.

But let's be real homie there was no need to fight it
There's a grander design, and I betcha gonna like it

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-2162
as normal as blueberry pie
By: psul
Rating: 98
Wilson Score: 0.81
Original Version
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 θ-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 (N2) 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 N2, 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:
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. Ionised 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.
Addendum 1: Post-Incident Interview - SCP-2162-A/Green/01 Re-secure data
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 I smoke?
A-D Griffiths: I 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 I tell you, you'll just have to redact it all in the report. Can we say I was on Foundation
business unrelated to SCP-2162, and leave it at that?
A-D Griffiths: Uh. Yes, I 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-1[1] 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: I 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.
1. Mobile Task Force Pi-1 ("City Slickers")
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. I 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 I changed course. I just kept thinking about those guards collapsing. I mean, it was like they had
suffocated, but one of them was in a hazmat suit with SCBA tanks. And I 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 I have without a sense of when an
anomaly is manmade. And that's why I 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 I 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. I had an invisible anomaly, and what I 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. I 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 I 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.

Original Version
SCP-2172 pictured in its current location in Fort Walton Beach, Fla.
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-2172 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-2172 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]
1. See attached document “Region 352-‫ ד‬Hume Readings 0700 EST SEP 16, 2004,” for an example of the effects of the last Beacon Disturbance event, when SCP-2172’s
line was severed by high winds during the landfall of Hurricane Ivan.
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:
SCP-2172-1 upon recovery.
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 Eswatini, a test has been
arranged in the Vatican for December 1st, 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.
3. Eswatini was selected for its strong governmental connections with the Foundation and its status as an absolute monarchy, making the process of officially
having the nation declare war require limited coordination.

An instance of SCP-2174
Item #: SCP-2174
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
enforcement 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.[1] Historically,
the majority of SCP-2174 instances[2] have been found in North America and Europe. All known instances contain at least one humanoid
chalk outline, corresponding to the popular misconception that drawing such outlines to mark the victim’s body is standard police
procedure.[3] Other elements, such as human blood or police tape, may or may not appear.
3. In real life, such practice contaminates the scene and is only done by inexperienced officers ignorant of proper procedure.
2. “SCP-2174 instances” in this document refers to both confirmed and alleged ones. For a detailed discussion of suspected false positives (works of anonymous
pranksters etc.), see Document Alpha-DXL, Section F.
1. The Foundation has so far not been able to directly observe SCP-2174. The information in this Description should be viewed as approximate, based on the
available evidence.
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]
4. For a comprehensive statistical analysis, see Document Alpha-DXL, Section B.
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,[5] 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.

SCP-2194

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[1].
1. Flesh-eating bacteria syndrome.
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.

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 pile of just take a few steps towards

Apollo Home: Solid copy, Apollo Lead. Standby for the arrival of the containment team; ETA in five mikes. Apollo Home out.
Agent Ahara (AL): The containment team will be here in five guys, sit tight. Try to keep them occupied, Banderker.
Agent Banderker: Will do, sir.

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: I'm fine, Glen. I don't need a psych evaluation.
Dr. Glen: I 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. I 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 I 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; I 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 I think it would be safe to say yes.
Agent Ahara: Good good
Do you think there's more of that stuff, doctor? Elsewhere, I mean?
Dr. Glen: I don't know. I really don't.

TheVolgun
SCP-2200-4 subject with authorized pet.
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[1] 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.
1. A skin condition caused by high quantities of silver in the body.
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 50km2 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.

Between 15 and 45 years of age

Physically active
Strong fear of death
Negative view of what happens after death

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 I was just sitting in my bedroom, reading, when all of a sudden I had this this vision. I saw this
place where people could live forever. I mean, on an intellectual level I was aware that what I saw was impossible, but at the same
time I was convinced it was true. And I knew that I could send people there with the sword.
Dr. Stems: What was your first course of action?
SCP-2200-2.037: I waited until dark. I live alone so nobody noticed me going out in the middle of the night. Whenever I 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 I got caught by the cops. They turned me over to you guys, and, well, here I am.
Dr. Stems: I see. Anything else you'd like to add?
SCP-2200-2.037: I wanna make it clear that I'm not a psychopath or anything. I sent those people away because death could have come
for them at any moment. What if they weren't right with God? The way I see it, when someone is sent to that place, they're basically
guaranteed eternal life. I was eliminating the risk of Hell for them, you know? I know it sounds terrible, but I had good
intentions. I 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.
<End log>
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>
Iwataki: 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: I immediately knew that my life was pretty much over. I knew that I 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, I guess I thought I had an opportunity.
Iwataki: Were you happy with the situation?
SCP-2200-2.082: No. God, no. I would have given anything to stop what happened.
Iwataki: 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 I be sure that my kids wouldn't die young, too?
[20 second pause.]
I may have saved them, but I hated doing it. It destroyed me. Honestly, after I finished with my family, saving strangers felt like
a walk in the park in comparison. God. I still can't believe any of this happened. I'm surprised the police didn't just shoot me on
the spot.
Iwataki: 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; I know these past few weeks haven't been easy for you.

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 I 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 help Soulberg's citizens come to terms 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 I
desire to meet my heavenly father, I stay behind so that I 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: I can understand why they would 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.

Item #: SCP-2206
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]
1. The following sections make extensive use of baseball terminology. Those unfamiliar with the terms used are advised to refer to the Foundation's primer on
American baseball.
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.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2219 is to be kept in a 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,[1] 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-2219's anomalous qualities surface during gameplay. Different outcomes of gameplay result in either positive or negative responses
on a human player's body, as revealed through testing on D-class subjects. This is likely the "fifth dimension" of gameplay mentioned
in the note.

Addendum: SCP-2219 was recovered from the home of Jacob Nagle in Lombard, IL after several leads on Reddit.com regarding "a game that
gives you leprosy". Nagle was in the severe stages of leprosy and had foregone treatment out of his obsession to complete the game.
Interviewed: Jacob Nagle
Interviewer: Dr. Isaiah Henderson
<Begin Log>
Dr. Henderson: Good morning, Mr. Nagle. I hope your treatments are going well.
Nagle: I need to play PORRIDGE again.
Dr. Henderson: May I ask why?
Nagle: If I tell you, will you let me play it again?
Dr. Henderson: I'm afraid that's not possible.
Nagle: Damn. Of course it isn't.
Dr. Henderson: Do you feel a psychological compulsion to play PORRIDGE?
Nagle: Do I look mental or something? If you knew what was coming after the final boss, you'd want to play it too. It's not even
supposed to be a game, it's a way to weed out the unworthy. I saw the one guy that beat the game. Just to look at him, the light

SCP-2262
The Maddening Font
By: GhostActual
Rating: 40
Wilson Score: 0.6
Original Version
Photograph taken on-site by researcher.
Item #: SCP-2262
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2262 is stored in a 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 a
standard -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 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.
On / / , 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, I 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, I 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. I look over, and every
piece of paper he’s ripping off, he’s eating them! Just eating little bits of paper all day
Researcher: I 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, I guess we all got pretty mad
about it. We were trying to figure it out, and I 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, amnestics 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-2295 in an inactive state
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[1] to fashion
an instance of SCP-2295-1, a patchwork imitation of the subject's organ[2]. 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.
2. How SCP-2295 is capable of the dexterity necessary for these actions is unknown.
1. Materials have included yarn, textile, cloth, cotton, silk, synthetic fiber, polyester, wool, and thread.
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.
Log
Subject: D-2353, 38 years old

Diagnosis: Lungs heavily damaged as a result of twenty-five (25) years of smoking
Notes: SCP-2295 creates SCP-2295-1 using one (1) black textile swatch and one (1) red textile swatch. New 'lungs' act at a capacity
similar to those of healthy adult lungs.

Diagnosis: Frequent heart palpitations and severe atherosclerosis
Notes: SCP-2295 crochets SCP-2295-1 using various surrounding yarns. SCP-2295-1 observed to have a heartbeat before vanishing.
Transfer successful - how SCP-2295-1 manages to perform function despite absorbent properties of material and multiple gaps in
design is unknown. Symptoms no longer present in subject.

Diagnosis: First and second degree burns ranging throughout upper torso, left lateral, and right leg. D-7894 sedated during testing.
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 epidermis and, upon recovery, D-7894 claims to have retained feeling in replaced 'skin'. Subject
makes a full recovery.

Diagnosis: Cerebral hemorrhaging
Notes: SCP-2295 grasps various materials in its proximity in a distressed state for approximately one (1) minute. SCP-2295 then
anomalously produces a 's Dove Milk Chocolate King Size Candy Bar and offers it to subject. SCP-2295 spends rest of test
embracing subject's lower right leg while anomalously producing a saline solution from its 'eyes'.
Addendum-2295: Document 2295 was recovered taped to SCP-2295 inside the site of a crashed mail delivery vehicle. Document-2295 is a
red "Get Well" card with the text "KAIROS THE BEAR" written on the front cover.

Description: SCP-2316 is the designation for an anomalous phenomenon existing within Lake within County, .
SCP-2316 manifests as a group of human corpses [1] 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.
1. Due to the nature of SCP-2316, it is uncertain how many individual corpses exist within the group. The number is currently estimated at forty-five, but has
been estimated as high as two-hundred or more.
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 a[2] single
unit. The individual instances of SCP-2316 are[3] unrecognizable, and you do not recognize the bodies in the water.

several kilometers in radius. A circle of seven pillars (SCP-2317-A through SCP-2317-G) are positioned in a ten-meter diameter
circle approximately ten meters directly in front of SCP-2317. Each pillar is approximately one meter in diameter, and seven meters
tall, constructed of marble and engraved with a series of intricate bas-reliefs. The art style of the engravings do not correspond
to that of any known modern, historic, or prehistoric civilization.
Addendum 1: Procedure 220-Calabasas: Procedure 220-Calabasas is a ritual to be performed at solar noon each day (defined as the
moment when the sun reaches its height over SCP-2317). Performing Procedure 220-Calabasas requires the following:

to that of any known modern, historic, or prehistoric civilization. SCP-2317-A-G extend two hundred meters below the surface of the
sand and into SCP-2317-H.
SCP-2317-H is a spherical space one hundred kilometers in diameter located directly underneath SCP-2317-A-G, lined with the same
stone used to construct SCP-2317-A-G. Contained within SCP-2317-H is SCP-2317-K, hereafter referred to as "entity."
The following information has been inferred through seismic analysis and ground-penetrating radar, as well as direct observation:
Entity appears to be an obese humanlike creature of immense proportions: estimated height if fully erect is over two hundred
kilometers. Horns resembling tree branches sprout from its head, which lacks a lower jaw. Entire body is covered in millions of
overlapping plate-like scales. Seven heavy hooks are embedded in the entity's back, each one attached to a heavy steel chain
connected to the lower end of one of the seven pillars embedded in the ceiling of the chamber.
At the time of the writing of this document, six of the pillars or chains have been broken or damaged, and only one chain remains
intact.
Addendum 2317-1: Procedure 220-Calabasas: Procedure 220-Calabasas is a ritual to be performed at solar noon each day (defined as the
Two armed Foundation security personnel with Security Clearance of Level 3 or higher (hereafter referred to as "guards").
One Foundation Personnel with Security Clearance of Level 4 (hereafter referred to as "celebrant."
One Class-D Personnel, as specified under Special Containment Procedures (hereafter referred to as "assistant.")
One live male Gallus domesticus, preferably caged to prevent complications during transport to SCP-2317-Prime (hereafter
referred to as "chicken.")
One obsidian-edged knife (hereafter referred to as "blade").
One silver aspergillum and aspersorium, filled with at least 500 ccs of holy water blessed by a priest of Abrahamaic faith.
One kiloton-level nuclear device, to be detonated in case of catastrophic containment failure.
1. Celebrant, guards, and assistant open SCP-2317, step through, and enter SCP-2317 Prime. Assistant will enter first, followed
by guards, followed by celebrant. Guards will, at all times, maintain situational awareness of assistant, and should be
prepared to prevent escape with deadly force.
2. Beginning with the pillar closest to and in-line with SCP-2317 (SCP-2317-A), celebrant circumambulates SCP-2317-A through SCP-
2317-G, proceeding counter-clockwise at an even and measured pace. At every other step, celebrant will scatter holy water,
using the aspergillum and aspersorium, in the direction of the circle's center.
3. Upon completing one circumambulation of SCP-2317-A-G, celebrant scatters holy water over the head of the assistant and recites
the following phrase: "Seven Seals, Seven Rings, Seven Thrones for the Scarlet King."
4. Celebrant then moves to a safe distance away from assistant, who will take the obsidian knife and use it to kill the chicken
provided as sacrifice. Blood will be drained from the chicken and added to the aspersorium, then stirred to mix with the holy
water already contained within.
5. Assistant then circumambulates SCP-2317-A-G in a clockwise direction, scattering the mixture of blood and holy water in the
direction of the circle's center.

will be provided to on-site personnel according to Emergency Order Zachariah, and may include detonation of on-site nuclear warhead.
Addendum 2317-2: History: SCP-2317 was first discovered in 1922, by [DATA EXPUNGED]. Object was subsequently moved to what was then
called Provisional Containment Area 17. Object was moved to Containment Area 179 in 1982, where it remains as of the writing of this
article.
When initially discovered, four of the seven chains were broken, and three were intact: the breaking of the fifth chain in
corresponded directly to a event in our world. The sixth chain, which broke in , was also coincident with a much more
severe event, eventually resulting in the deaths of two million persons.
Analysis of supplementary texts retrieved at the time of containment pointed to Procedure 220-Calabasas as an effective means of
maintaining containment until an effective means of repairing or reattaching said chains can be discovered. Containment procedures
were modified to incorporate Procedure 220-Calabasas. As records show that the sequence of events shows an exponential
increase in lethality, it can be extrapolated that failure of the final chain (SCP-2317-G), would result in an XK-Class End of the
World Scenario.
For this reason, every possible effort is to be made to ensure a successful Procedure 220-Calabasas.

DISPLAYING SCP-2317, CLEARANCE LEVEL O5
SCP-2317
Item #: SCP-2317
Special Access Designation: CODE NIGHTMARE REGENT RED
Special Containment Procedures: Irrelevant.
Description: SCP-2317 is a primeval entity known as "The , Devourer of Worlds" (name redacted intentionally). The
Erikesh Codex indicates that it was captured and imprisoned by Erikeshan mystics circa 1894 BCE. An excerpt from the relevant
passage follows:
AND THEN KESHPETH LED HIS ARMY OF TEN THOUSAND INTO THE REALM BEYOND THE CLOUDS, AND THERE DID THEY DO BATTLE WITH THE DEVOURER,
MAY HIS NAME REMAIN FOREVER UNREMEMBERED. AND THEN KESHPETH AND HIS TEN THOUSAND DID CRAFT SEVEN CUNNING CHAINS OUT OF THE BONES OF
JASPETAR, SEVENTH BRIDE OF THE DREAD DEVOURER, MAY HIS NAME REMAIN FOREVER UNREMEMBERED, AND BOUND HIM WITHIN THE PEARL OF THE
FATHER OF OYSTERS, HE WHO DWELLS UNDER THE MIRROR OF SALT IN THE REALM UNDER THE SEA. AND KESHPETH ORDERED THAT THE GATES TO THE
FAR COUNTRY BE SEALED FOREVER, LEST THE DREAD DEVOURER, MAY HIS NAME REMAIN FOREVER UNREMEMBERED, FIND ITS WAY BACK TO OUR WORLD.
It is not clear how the 19th-century Society of the Golden Arrow discovered how to create a gate to Universe-Kappa-Erikesh, nor
their reasons for doing so. What is clear is that the damage to the first four chains that bind the Devourer was accidental. By the
time Our Founder took possession of the item following the dissolution of the Society, the organization had bankrupted itself
several times over trying desperately to repair the damage caused.
Projected Containment Profile: Indications are that Final Containment Failure will occur at some point within the next century as of
the writing of this article: the mean time to failure being calculated at thirty years. All efforts to repair or replace the chains
have failed. All efforts to re-discover the method for creating these chains have proven fruitless. Research is currently underway
to determine an alternate containment plan, but the possibility that anything can keep the Devourer from entering our universe is
slim, especially as the original material used to create the chains (namely, the bones and sinew of another Devourer entity) are no
longer in existence.
The primary threat is internal despair or panic. In order to maintain morale, a false containment procedure (Procedure 220-
Calabasas) will be authored and implemented. This false containment procedure has been given a sense of veracity by the following
means:
Incorporating elements of common ritualistic magics.

Incorporating elements of popular religious rites.
Incorporating elements of other known occult organizations.
Incorporating elements of other known Special Containment Procedures.
Incorporating references to similar but unrelated occult entities.
Increased information security regarding the elements of the procedure.
Appealing to the common institutional meme of the effectiveness of thermonuclear weapons in destroying paranormal entities.
Although completely ineffectual, the purpose of Procedure 220-Calabasas is to provide the appearance of active containment in order
to allay anxiety among staff until a more permanent solution can be found.
In the meantime, preparations will be made in order to ensure the survival of the human race following Containment Failure. As most
of the recommended preparations overlap with or are identical to preparations already underway in case of numerous other XK-Class
scenarios, minimal additional resources are required.

Great Red Spot on Jupiter.
Great Red Spot, Jupiter
Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP-2399's location and nature, physical means of containment are currently impossible.
Implanted Foundation agents in major observatories are to contain footage or images of SCP-2399. An ongoing misinformation campaign is
in effect, which has thus far been able to completely suppress any knowledge pertaining to SCP-2399 from public awareness.
Foundation satellites in orbit around Jupiter are to maintain constant vigilance of SCP-2399's reconstruction efforts, and make all
attempts to hinder that process should SCP-2399 reach a minimum of 75% completion. Additionally, a perimeter of long-range
electromagnetic jamming satellites (BARRIER Array) has been situated in high-Jupiter orbit. Any transmissions intercepted by this
array are to be summarily decoded and logged.
In the event of SCP-2399 surpassing 75% completion or an information breach in the jamming perimeter, necessary Foundation personnel
will engage Protocol LEGIONNAIRE-5 (See Addendum 2399-L5), given its completion by that time.
Description: SCP-2399 is a massive, complex mechanical structure currently located in Jupiter's lower atmosphere. Since its visual
discovery in 1963, SCP-2399 has been observed to use highly advanced, anti-matter-based weaponry to create spacial disruptions and
devastating atmospheric [DATA EXPUNGED] observable as a large red vortex, commonly known as the Great Red Spot.
Time lapse photography of SCP-2399's travel path from / / to / / .

SCP-2399 appears to be damaged, possibly due to an impact with the moon Io before coming to rest in its current position. SCP-2399 has
been observed releasing a multitude of small, octopoid repair drones in efforts to repair the damage it has taken. Some of these
drones will remain near SCP-2399, while others will patrol nearby moons, or deeper into the gasses of Jupiter itself, in search of
parts that SCP-2399 is missing. Computer models estimate that SCP-2399 is at 59% completion, with a current rate of .78% annually.
This rate has increased from an estimated .12% in 1970.
Despite its damaged state, SCP-2399 seems to possess a limitless power supply, advanced electromagnetic shielding, matter-disrupting
weaponry, the ability to repair damage done to itself, and a precise tracking and targeting system (See Addendum 2399-2b). Due to the
large difference in technological advancement between the creator of SCP-2399 and our own, for all intents and purposes, SCP-2399 is
currently indestructible by human means. In theory SCP-2399 might be left vulnerable by a powerful enough electromagnetic pulse.
Unfortunately, this technology does not yet exist.
SCP-2399 (circled in red) as visible from BARRIER Unit 21
Since 1971, SCP-2399 has been the recipient of an unending stream of electromagnetic-based communications originating in the
Triangulum Galaxy, roughly 3 million light years from Earth. The means of SCP-2399's travel to our solar system, and the means of its
communications, are all unknown. From 1971 to 1985, SCP-2399 continuously received a single encoded message which, through
codebreaking and translation efforts, appeared to be a command to repair the damage it incurred upon entering our solar system. After
this time, the BARRIER array was established to intercept these messages. This coincided with a period of radio silence from the
origin of the communications, until 1996, when a different order began transmitting. The BARRIER array has thus far prevented SCP-2399
from receiving this command (See Addendum 2399-Comm-Log).
SCP-2399 Discovery Notes:
ACCESS DATA ACCESS GRANTED
SCP-2399 was originally observed, albeit unknowingly, by Giovanni Cassini in 1665. The following is taken directly from Cassini's
journal on the event, translated from Italian to English.
08/10/1665
I have observed something extraordinary in the heavens. Last night, as I gazed through my looking glass, I saw what appeared to be a
star of great luminescence streak through the far reaches of our solar system. I have never recorded an object moving so fast; it
had surpassed the outer planets in fewer than two hours! As I watched, by my own two eyes, I saw it slow as it closed on Jupiter,
make a sharp turn, and disappear into the planet itself. I saw many bursts of light afterwards, but although I continued to peer at
it until the Sun broke, I saw no additional disturbances in the night sky. I must continue to document these changes, and will alert
my colleagues when the day is upon me.
15/10/1665
I took Peter to my observation point last night, but a week from the night I saw the fire rain upon Jupiter in the heavens. He
brought along his own looking glass, and together we aimed our view upon the giant. To our surprise, a magnificent change has
occurred! Where once the distant world only showed bands of color, there is now a great red spot where the star came to rest on the
surface of Jupiter. Peter was incredulous, of course, that such an amazing discovery could have taken place before our very eyes. I
will continue to take note of this.
18/10/1665
Tonight as I peered through my looking glass, I swear on my life that I observed what looked to me like explosions and starbursts
emanating from our red spot. I fear my mind is playing tricks on me, for there has been no record of such violent outbursts by a
heavenly body since the dawn of astronomy. I will consult with Peter on the morrow, and hopefully glean from him some advice on the
matter.
19/10/1665
Peter sees the same as I! As I approached him with my concerns, he leveled the same with me, and through our following discussion we
concluded that it must be a powerful reaction to the falling star I saw upon the first night, and not a product of our own
shortcomings. I am left wondering what cataclysmic event must be taking place upon our heavenly neighbour. Our work to document this
must go on.
Addendum 2399-2b:
ACCESS ADDENDUM ACCESS GRANTED
At ████ hours on ██/██/██, BARRIER Unit 53 observed one of SCP-2399's repair drones closing on a piece of debris, quickly determined
to be part of a damaged communications array. Because of the nature of this specific component, and the ramifications of allowing SCP-
2399 to recover it, it was ordered that BARRIER Unit 45 fire upon the drone with its on-board concussion batteries.
Batteries were discharged; however, the drone appeared undamaged. Footage obtained by BARRIER Unit 53 shows that, while the payload in
question was launched towards the repair drone, it was destroyed within 5 km of the target by additional charges originating from SCP-
2399. Command lost contact with BARRIER Unit 45 15 seconds after initial discharge, with video observation showing SCP-2399 [DATA

Addendum 2399-2c: Project Gigas:
INFORMATION RESTRICTED TO LEVEL 4 PERSONNEL OR ABOVE Clearance Accepted
After the events of ██/██/██, it was decided that necessary force would be authorized to destroy or incapacitate SCP-2399. Using
Foundation resources, as well as resources from 45 nations (notably, █████ ███████, ███████, █████ ██████, ██████, ███████ ██████,
██████'█ ████████ ██ █████, and ██████████ ██████'█ ████████ ██ █████), a platform of ██ warheads bearing ███ Mt payloads and ██
warheads bearing EMP detonators was launched and placed in orbit around Europa. On ██/██/██ at ████ hours with orders from 15 heads of
state and O5█, O5█, O5█, O5█, and O5█, the entire payload of Project Gigas was launched towards SCP-2399.
[DATA EXPUNGED]
Efforts to develop alternative methods of eliminating SCP-2399 are currently underway.[1]

Addendum 2399-L5:
INFORMATION RESTRICTED TO LEVEL 4 PERSONNEL OR ABOVE CLEARANCE ACCEPTED
So, SCP-2399.
Have you ever sat and wondered, maybe after you hear about a car accident on a street you were just on, or a bombing in a city you
were visiting, just how lucky you are to be alive? Just how many things have to go right for you to continue to exist? A few seconds
too late, a few seconds too early, and somebody reaches for something they dropped and a busload of people run into another busload
of people. Sometimes this kind of thing does happen, as we've seen, far too often. But that's what we're here for. To protect those
who can't protect themselves from things that they wouldn't even know to protect themselves from.
We can't do it all, though. As many things as we've been able to contain, as many things as we've been able to keep under lock that
would threaten to destroy us all, still far too many remain that we can't do anything about. Whether they're too big, or too fast,
or too powerful, any of these things could blink and wipe humanity from existence. The fact that they haven't done so yet is just
luck. SCP-2399, however, is different.
We have little information regarding SCP-2399's motives, origins, and full capabilities. We do not understand how it is capable of
communicating over such large distances, or why those who constructed it (if it was, in fact, constructed) sent it to us in the
first place. We do not know what would happen if SCP-2399 is able to fully repair itself, or if part of our array would break down
and a message would get through. We do not know this, so we must assume the worst. Judging by what we've seen, were SCP-2399 to have
reached Earth, it would have led to our timely destruction.
But sometimes humanity gets a little help. Sometimes something steps in the way of the apocalypse. For us, and for SCP-2399, it was
Jupiter. As SCP-2399 began to slow on its approach to Earth, Cassini saw what we've been able to ascertain; that SCP-2399 struck Io,
was damaged, and was unable to escape the gravitational pull of Jupiter. Its weapons activated as they were intended, but it was
Jupiter that experienced doomsday, not us.
Eventually, though, it's likely that SCP-2399 will resume full functionality, and will likely be able to pull away from Jupiter and
proceed to its target. As of now, we can keep hurling bombs and EMPs at it all we want, but we've got no indication that any of it
will so much as scratch the thing, on the contrary, experience dictates it would do nothing at all. If this were to happen now, we
would undoubtedly be destroyed.
Jupiter has given us time. For now, SCP-2399 will remain there, reassembling itself, while we devise some way to stop it. Like it or
not, we are in an arms race with this thing. Our best guesses give us something like 25 years until it is able to hear past our
dampening array. Until then, we must seize the opportunity that has been laid before us. We must use the time we have been given,
and not let it be wasted.
So we devised Protocol LEGIONNAIRE. One gigantic EMP, powered by god-knows-what, followed by a volley of nukes big enough to wipe
out our civilization a thousand times over. A blunt plan, and simple, and likely futile. Our researchers, and researchers around the
globe, have yet to devise even a way to deliver that kind of pulse, let alone a way to power it. There is no indication whatsoever
that we will be able to complete LEGIONNAIRE on time, or if it will do what is intended once it is completed. But we must try. We
must do something. Even if we have to drain our banks and empty our mines, we must try.
Not often do we get a chance to see the swerving bus that will end our lives, and step out of the way. Jupiter, unknowingly, has
offered us that chance. I suggest we take it.

Item #: SCP-2429
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2429 is allowed to operate as normal. Foundation operatives are to be covertly placed around SCP-
2429 at all times. All entrances to SCP-2429-1 should be obstructed by wooden boards and display an "out of order" sign. Should any
person without proper clearance enter SCP-2429-1 for any reason other than approved testing, it is to be considered a breach of
containment. Any person who enters and exits SCP-2429-1 without proper clearance is to be administered a Class-A amnestic as soon as
possible. Any person displaying obvious behavior typical of being affected by the anomalous properties of SCP-2429 is to be
administered a Class-A amnestic as soon as possible.
Description: SCP-2429 is The Zoo located in , Texas. The zoo is, for all intents and purposes, a normal zoo. All
staff and guests interact with the zoo as would be expected and no anomalous properties are immediately noticeable. The anomalous
properties of SCP-2429 manifest only after entering and exiting a bathroom on the far east side of the zoo, hereafter referred to as
SCP-2429-1. Upon entering and exiting SCP-2429-1 all of the animals contained within SCP-2429 appear as nude humans. This appearance
manifests only for those who have entered and exited SCP-2429-1 and has no effect on other observers. The humans continue to exhibit
behaviors typical of whatever animal would normally be in their enclosure, including crawling on all fours, eating raw meat or plant
matter, animalistic vocalizations, and so on. The effects of SCP-2429-1 seem to be localized to SCP-2429 and do not effect animals
elsewhere. Birds, rodents, or other animals that enter SCP-2429 still appear as they normally would even to those who have passed
through SCP-2429-1.
Many entities within SCP-2429 appear as normal human beings of various gender and skin tone. However, those representing animals
vastly different from human proportion appear to have been surgically modified to more closely resemble the animal they represent.
These modifications include, but are not limited to, lengthened arms and legs, lengthened spinal cord and torso, and skulls shaped to
resemble snouts. Those affected by SCP-2429 typically react in shock and horror to the confusion of those unaffected around them. The
effects of SCP-2429-1 appear to be permanent but can be remedied with the use of Class-A amnestics.
SCP-2429 entities do not seem to hold human levels of intelligence and all attempts to interact with or interview said entities have
proven fruitless. Foundation researchers conducted a more thorough inspection after passing through SCP-2429-1 and concluded that the
SCP-2429 entities in their human form have shown adapted skeletal structure typical of people walking on all fours. Those that have
been surgically modified often have inflamed or infected stitching and in some cases stitches have partially broken leading to severe
open wounds.
Photographs and video recordings of SCP-2429 entities appear as normal animals except to those who have entered and exited SCP-2429-1.
This is true even of photographs and video recordings taken before any individual person had exited SCP-2429-1.
After an intensive Foundation-lead investigation it has been determined that all staff and corporate entities related to SCP-2429 hold
no responsibility for the anomalous nature of SCP-2429. It should be noted however, that the current owner and manager of SCP-2429 was
aware that "something was wrong with" SCP-2429-1. He claimed that the previous owner had constructed a wooden barrier in front of all
entrances to SCP-2429-1 and strongly advised ignoring SCP-2429-1 rather than "attempting to repair it." SCP-2429-1 is also a source of
superstition among the staff at SCP-2429; many believing that SCP-2429-1 is "haunted" or "cursed." Though, these superstitions are
unfounded and likely originate from the dilapidated appearance of SCP-2429-1. The previous owner of SCP-2429 was operating under an
alias and his whereabouts are currently unknown.
The barriers to the entrances of SCP-2429-1 seem to have been effective in keeping most out, and an employee only area had eventually
been constructed around SCP-2429-1 preventing any guests from potentially finding their way into SCP-2429-1 explaining how SCP-2429
evaded Foundation attention for so long. SCP-2429 was first brought to the Foundation's attention in 2010 through a twitter post by
user @ who was later determined to be Robert of , Texas. Robert was a maintenance crew member on staff at
SCP-2429 and decided to investigate SCP-2429-1. Upon viewing the anomaly of SCP-2429 he captured a video with his mobile phone
obviously panicked and disturbed repeatedly asking aloud "why are there people in here?" to the confusion of those around him. He
later posted this video to Twitter with the message "Is this some kind of sick joke?" Foundation agents operating within Twitter
moderation staff were able to quickly delete the post and trace Robert's location. It was at first suspected that Robert may have
simply been suffering from a mental illness until a short interview and investigation alerted Foundation agents to SCP-2429. Class-A
amnestics were administered to Robert before any major incident occurred.

Archive photo of SCP-2467 unusually close to shore in 1995. No photographs of the
object's current configuration are available.
Item #: SCP-2467
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation satellites are to constantly track the movement of SCP-2467, with analysts and programs
predicting the movements of the object, with plants in the meteorological bureau to divert traffic from areas likely to be visited by
SCP-2467. In addition, the SCPS Sunderland, a fully armed Legend-class cutter, will be dispatched to patrol areas where SCP-2467 is
likely to come into contact with other vessels. SCPS Sunderland is to be equipped with a minimum of two rigid bottomed motor life
boats to aid in rescue of survivors of encounters with SCP-2467, along with high impact naval weaponry to aid in discouraging the
object from attacking civilian, merchant and military vessels. Absolutely no aircraft is to be deployed in the area of SCP-2467's area
of operation, due to the severe weather phenomena associated with it.
Where possible, waste dumped by SCP-2467 is to be collected by Foundation watercraft and taken to the nearest Foundation research site
for study.
A disinformation campaign is to be run following a Boarding and/or Abduction event. Typical explanations to be provided include user
error, sinking via rough seas or rogue waves, mutiny, and pirate encounters. Amnestics are to be administered to any and all survivors
and witnesses of SCP-2467 and its activities.
Description: SCP-2467 is a large oceangoing ship approximately 300 metres in length and 45 metres in width, bearing the nameplate "DV
Toluca". Research personnel have been unable to find any record of a ship matching the Toluca's description that has been registered
to any port in the last 138 years. Of note is that components of SCP-2467 come from a wide variety of other sea craft, including some
such as the flying bridge dating back to at least the 1700's along with various naval weapons which operate autonomously. It primarily
travels in deep water and searches for other vessels in an effort to abduct crew and appropriate cargo, before leaving the vessel
adrift.
Weather patterns in a 5 kilometre radius of SCP-2467 consistently display adverse and at times violent conditions regardless of and
often in direct contrast to the given ocean state at the time. Observation has shown near constant moderate rainstorms and thick fog
in the area surrounding SCP-2467, accompanied by moderate to strong winds and slightly rough waters. In addition to the rain, wind,
and fog detailed above, winds have been known to reach speeds of over 125kph, and waves reaching an average peak height of 25 metres
when attempting to disable another ship. It should be noted that there are outliers, such as a 42 metre[1] high wave recorded on
February 20, 1958[2]. Whirlpools of varying severity have been also spotted appearing in the bough wake of SCP-2467 on multiple
occasions.
2. This is the only known instance of SCP-2467 successfully bringing down a low flying aircraft.
1. Believed to have been a combination of SCP-2467's weather altering effects and the rough sea state at that time
Japanese fishing vessel Ryou-Un Maru following a boarding by SCP-2467.
SCP-2467 is operated by a maintenance crew, corresponding to approximately 75 individuals abducted from other vessels encountered by
the object. Observance has shown that those on board SCP-2467 tend to adapt to the stress of their abduction and behave in a manner
described as "cheerful" within a short time frame following abduction. This is believed to be a form of mind-affecting anomaly, as
shown by any person coming into contact or close proximity with SCP-2467 for an extended period of time (3-10 days depending on the
individual) coming to believe that SCP-2467 is correct in its actions, and will gain a strong desire or obsession towards aiding it
however possible. Gradually, this causes a degenerative condition in the brain of the person, to the point where the individual loses
any semblance of independent thought at approximately 4 to 5 months after initial contact.
Roughly every 40 days, SCP-2467 dumps a large amount of waste bundled into a net out of a rear port in the ship. Waste materials tend
to be composed of damaged or worn ship components and tools, along with food scraps, empty bottles, clothing, scrap metal, fuel waste,
and human cadavers.
Addendum 2467-01: Following incident SCP-2467-12, Foundation personnel recovering waste materials deposited by SCP-2467 are to work in
teams of 6, with a minimum of 2 personnel to monitor the water for approaching sharks and other marine carnivores[3].
3. Presumably attracted towards SCP-2467 due to its frequent dumping of edible material and cadavers

Clearance 2467/3:
2467-I Minimise
Document #2467-I:
In an effort to better understand SCP-2467, particularly effects and any notable events occurring on board the vessel, four D-Class
personnel trained in sailing (D-2467-01 - 04) were provided with a small (9 metre) yacht[5] launched from the SCPS Sunderland and
given orders to sail north with the SCPS Sunderland tailing them at a distance of 7 kilometres with the intention of them being
boarded and abducted by SCP-2467 to observe the activities of SCP-2467 and its effects on those aboard. Each D-Class was fitted with
a helmet mounted waterproof video camera equipped with a flotation device and an external battery pack, rendering it capable of
recording uninterrupted for up to 3 months. Footage captured was streamed directly to the SCPS Sunderland's observational
department.
5. Dubbed the SCPS Joyita
Note: Due to the length of this test, extraneous and inconsequential events and details have been redacted for brevity.
12/10/200█, 10:25AM: SCPS Joyita is successfully launched from the Sunderland and proceeds north.
Progress in test #2467-I continues without incident or notable activity for 5 days.
17/10/200█, 02:29AM: Both the SCPS Joyita and SCPS Sunderland make visual contact with SCP-2467 to the northwest.
17/10/200█, 02:31AM: Strong westerly storm is manifested by SCP-2467. Waves of an average 4.5 - 6.0 metres and wind speeds of
approximately 55kph are recorded. Fog rolls in reducing visibility to roughly 15 metres. SCP-2467 sounds its fog horn, and D-Class
cameras show blue lights at the location of the vessel. D-2467-04 deploys fenders.
17/10/200█, 02:39AM: SCP-2467 approaches the SCPS Joyita. Upon sight of SCP-2467's weaponry, D-2467-01 turns the vessel 180° and
attempts to retreat from SCP-2467.
17/10/200█, 02:40AM: SCPS Joyita ordered to turn and approach SCP-2467. D-2467-01 fails to comply.
17/10/200█, 02:40AM: SCP-2467 fires harpoons at SCPS Joyita, fatally injuring D-2467-02, and drawing the Joyita to its hull. A
boarding party consisting of 5 crew boards the Joyita and attempts to abduct the surviving D-Class personnel, resulting in the
termination of D-2467-01, D-2467-04 and 1 unidentified male from the boarding party.
17/10/200█, 02:48AM: D-2467-03 boards SCP-2467, is handed a chisel by an unidentified crew member, and told to scrape rust from some
panels under threat of physical violence. D-2467-03 complies.
17/10/200█, 03:10AM: SCPS Sunderland successfully recovers the SCPS Joyita with no parts aside from supplies taken by SCP-2467,
leading Foundation personnel to believe it had recently boarded and cannibalized parts from another, as yet unknown vessel.
Note: As of the events of the 17/10/200█, all recorded events are entirely documented by D-2467-03's camera.
23/10/200█, 04:50PM: Video feed shows D-2467-03 is displaying signs of distress and pushing a trolley loaded with basic rations to
crew members of SCP-2467. All crew with the exception of D-2467-03 are audibly humming an unidentified tune in unison.
30/10/200█, 11:23PM: Video feed shows D-2467-03 still displaying signs of distress, hauling in a fishing net with 3 other crew
members. An as yet unheard voice, hereby referred to as SCP-2467-01, seeming to come from the flying bridge orders crew member
"Worthington" to be brought to the flying bridge. 4 crew members apprehend a young male crew member and escort him to the flying
bridge, which has the door open[6]. Door to the flying bridge closes after "Worthington" is deposited inside. Vocalizations of
distress produced from the flying bridge are audible for the following 7 days.
6. This is the first of only 2 times this door has been recorded open.
21/11/200█, 06:55AM: Video feed shows D-2467-03 swabbing the port side deck, showing lower levels of distress. A lighthouse on the
coast of , comes into view, seemingly prompting SCP-2467 to adjust its course and head into more open waters.
30/11/200█, 12:47AM: Video feed shows that D-2467-03 is still showing distress, but is no longer requiring guidance by other crew in
undertaking tasks on the ship. D-2467-03 is securing hatches on the deck when a crew member looks to the starboard bow, spotting a
fishing ship identified as the Grendel. Entire crew save for D-2467-03 gather on the deck equipped with grappling lines and ladders
as SCP-2467 is seen to produce a very large plume of what appears to be black smoke from one of its funnels. Smoke enters the cloud
cover above, producing a meteorological reaction. Heavy rain, waves up to 7 metres in height and wind reaching 70kph are recorded.
Crew of the Grendel seen to request assistance from SCP-2467. Both crews work together to secure the Grendel to SCP-2467, followed
by the 6 crew members of the Grendel being coerced onto SCP-2467 under the pretense of weathering the storm.
30/11/200█, 01:15PM: A crew member belonging to SCP-2467 is seen to produce a diving knife and fatally assault the captain of the
Grendel[7]. Remaining crew members are escorted down into a lower deck as D-2467-03 and 3 other SCP-2467 crew descend a ladder onto
the Grendel and salvage food, water, fuel, timbers and a segment of the hull, requiring a crane to lift onto SCP-2467's deck.
7. Identified as Mrs.
9/12/200█, 03:22PM: Video feed shows that D-2467-03 is showing minimal signs of distress, laughing at an anecdote told by one of
SCP-2467's crew as she sweeps the deck. D-2467-03 then hands her broom to another crew member and approaches a captive crew member
of the Grendel[8] and addresses them as they work, leading to a brief dialogue. Transcript as follows.
D-2467-03: "You should jump off now, before it changes you. There's a big ship following, they might help you."
████ █████:"What? What do you mean?"
D-2467-03: "The song gets in your head. Makes you happy. Makes it so you want to stay."
████ █████: "Okay, okay. I'll jump, but you come with me, we can both escape."
9/12/200█, 03:26PM: D-2467-03 disregards and returns to work.
Note: was recovered by the SCPS Sunderland approximately 20 minutes later and held for examination for a period of 6
weeks before being administered amnestics and returned to their family.
8. Identified as Mr.
15/12/200█, 06:13PM: Video feed shows that D-2467-03 no longer displays any sign of distress, and now hums with the crew of SCP-
2467.
18/12/200█, 08:05AM: SCP-2467-01 orders "Smith" and "Chi" to report to the refuse center. Video feed shows two heavily malnourished
men, crew members known to be present prior to the abduction of D-2467-03, enter a lower deck. They are no longer seen at any point
on D-2467-03's video feed or during observation by the SCPS Sunderland.
26/12/200█, 11:19AM: SCP-2467-01 is heard ordering the crew to deliver D-2467-03 to the flying bridge. Video feed confirms D-2467-03
is once again displaying severe distress, and attempting to exit SCP-2467 with haste. Crew of SCP-2467 show coordinated teamwork in
D-2467-03's capture, apprehending her 3:52 after SCP-2467-01 was heard. Crew escorts D-2467-03 to the flying bridge, with the video
feed showing the door swinging open autonomously[9]. Interior of the flying bridge is obscured by an intense blue-green light, and
seems to cause increasing amounts of static and tracking errors as D-2467-03 approaches the doorway. Video feed cuts out as D-2467-
03 is thrown bodily into the doorway at 11:23PM.
9. The second recorded instance of this occurring
18/04/20██, 12:19PM: Video feed resumes showing total darkness until the camera abruptly emerges into a room, evidently out of a
pipe, on top of a pile of refuse to be dumped off of SCP-2467. Contents of refuse bin include scrap metal, empty oxygen tanks,
broken tools, severed body parts and a torn D-class jumpsuit[10] stained with blood and other unidentified fluids. The camera lens
also appears to be coated in the same materials staining the D-class jumpsuit. Sounds of distress echo down the pipe, consistent
with D-2467-03's voice albeit heavily distorted.
18/04/20██, 12:29PM: SCP-2467 crew member enters the room and manually places waste products into a fishing net, ties said fishing
net closed, and pushes the net and its contents into a port in the floor. Video feed shows port leads to an opening in the stern of
SCP-2467 and then the water.
Note: Waste net and camera were recovered by the SCPS Sunderland at 12:45PM.
10. Confirmed to be that worn by D-2467-03
Closing Statement: Following review of the footage gathered and DNA testing of the human remains recovered from SCP-2467, it was
discovered that human remains contained within the waste collected did not belong to D-2467-03. Following this discovery, orders
were given to collect any and all waste products dumped by SCP-2467 in an effort to determine how long it would take for D-2467-03
or her remains to be dumped by SCP-2467. Tooth, hair and isolated skin fragments determined to belong to D-2467-03 were recovered on
the 2/05/20 at 12:47AM. Research concluded that an as yet unknown process had caused D-2467-03 to undergo a form of catabolism,
breaking down tissue into a liquid state. Lack of other remains suggests that the resulting material was used for an unknown purpose
on board SCP-2467.
4. Various sections of SCP-2467 have not yet been matched to known watercraft. Given that a ghost ship is typically discovered once every two years, efforts are
being made to determine just how many of these can be attributed to SCP-2467.

SCP-2589
Don't Leave Me This Way

Wilson Score: 0.76
Original Version
Item #: SCP-2589
Special Containment Procedures: The home SCP-2589 was previously located in has been dismantled and incinerated. The area the home was
located on has been barred from entry, and has been disguised as an enclosed electrical generator. Witnesses of SCP-2589 have been
administered Class A amnestics. Those who have not been located are currently being tracked by Foundation assets, after they are
located they are to be administered an amnestic regimen and released.
Green Acres
Description: SCP-2589 was an entity that was confined to a mobile home in Warsaw, Indiana. The entity had limited mobility, lacking
limbs. Its body was bell-shaped, consisting of a large mouth in the torso, and an elongated, upward-facing head on which there was a
Warsaw Police Department branded trucker cap. The entity's body was white with red splotches, having the appearance of bruises. SCP-
2589's body did not appear to have an internal structure, the skin simply forming a floating membrane in the shape of itself.
The entity was capable of manipulating the physical reality of the area around it. SCP-2589 utilized this ability to create "mouth
traps" in areas which lead to its stomach. These spaces manifested as spaces in walls, enclosures of any kind such as a doghouse,
closets, and in one case a pair of pants. These portals have a tendency to manifest most commonly in holes. Subjects affected by SCP-
2589 claimed they most commonly fell into the trap when walking through the master bedroom of the home.
The entity would "eat" humans or animals if it was fed. SCP-2589 did not seem to be sapient, and did not actively attempt to consume
subjects with its person. SCP-2589 only physically consumed an individual if it was assisted.
The effects of this consumption were varied. Affected subjects would reappear later, albeit with mild or moderate changes to their
appearance. Their behavior was not unusual, and they retained memories of being fed to SCP-2589. Subjects frequently responded to this
event with frustration or misdirection. A woman subjected to SCP-2589 prior to its containment was digested roughly 100 times. When
questioned, Emma Clark (23) seemed frustrated, to quote, “I don’t see what the problem is.”
When SCP-2589 inhabited the home, the people living in that home expressed dismissal or disinterest in SCP-2589. Adolescents, however,
did not seem to be affected by the anomaly and would respond to SCP-2589 as one would typically expect. The home where SCP-2589 was
found, when investigated, revealed that the surviving children growing up around SCP-2589 were conditioned to accept it from a young
age.
Addendum A: Selected excerpts from video footage located in the home. Dates could not be found on the tapes, they are arranged in
order of occurrence. The home was outfitted with 12 security cameras. Local police had questioned the father, Jacob Clark, about the
cameras at one point prior to SCP-2589’s neutralization, to which the father responded “He liked knowing what went on in his home."
The family affected by SCP-2589 were Emma Clark (23), her husband, Jacob Clark (47), Jacob Clark's brother, Ethan Young (32), the
Clark's mother, Madison Clark (67), and two children, Andrew (8), Ezekiel (11), and their dog [Destroyer] (2).
00:03
Deformed man in fetal position with fused appendages appears on the floor in the foyer. Andrew is distressed, begins shouting at the
man. Andrew is holding a miniature boom box. Macho Man is playing on the radio.
Andrew: (possibly communicating with the deformed figure) NO. You're scary! Why? What's wrong with your face? Stop it!
Andrew picks up a broom and moves closer to the man.
Andrew: Unc?
SCP-2589 can be seen in the corner of the frame. Andrew notices SCP-2589. Andrew observes SCP-2589 silently for one minute.
Andrew: Sorry Unc.
Andrew drags the deformed man out of the room, away from SCP-2589.
11:05
Andrew notices SCP-2589 in the living room. SCP-2589 was stationary. Andrew runs to Madison, his grandmother, and tells her about
SCP-2589. Madison gets excited, suggests placing the uncle, Ethan, in its mouth. Emma and Jacob enter the room and discuss this with
Madison. Madison points at Ethan angrily while talking to Jacob, Jacob points to SCP-2589 and begins shouting. Madison relents, and
moves to SCP-2589, opening its mouth. Emma and Jacob lift Ethan's body into SCP-2589's mouth.
Audio feed returns.
Jacob: See? Wasn't too hard was it?

03:33
Andrew and Ezekiel are in the back yard.
Andrew: You know about it? You're never in the room.
Ezekiel: I saw it. I don't like it. I can get dad's gun, I know where he has it.
Andrew: It's gonna eat me. (crying) Go get the gun tonight.
Ezekiel: I'll do it by myself. It's scared of me because I'm really smart.
Andrew: Really?
Ezekiel: Yeah.
Andrew leaves the frame and speaks with his father for a moment. Andrew and his father go inside. Ezekiel remains outside.
A green hummingbird appears in the yard.
Ezekiel addresses the bird.
Ezekiel: You're the angel?
The bird does not appear to acknowledge Ezekiel's' presence, and by all accounts is a mundane animal.
Ezekiel: How do I kill it?
Ezekiel nods, running into the doghouse. Ezekiel does not leave the doghouse. No activity for 2 hours.
Andrew and Jacob walk outside. Jacob points to the doghouse, and Andrew moves closer to inspect it. Andrew begins screaming.
23:02
Ethan appears in the hallway, no longer deformed, but appearance changed slightly. He is dressed in a vest, his face covered in
glitter. Ethan runs into Madison in the hallway.
Ethan: (whispering) Where were you? You've been gone for two weeks, no one's saying shit!
A low moaning is heard. SCP-2589's head can be seen in the frame, bent around a corner behind Madison. Ethan and Madison turn
around, but otherwise do not acknowledge SCP-2589.
Madison: I went out with the girls. I'm here now, what's the problem?
Ethan shakes his head, Madison leaves the frame, toward SCP-2589. SCP-2589's head retracts. Giggling can be heard for two minutes
afterward.
10:55
Entire family, save for Ezekiel, is in the living room. SCP-2589 is also present, standing behind the couch. Andrew seems distressed
about SCP-2589, but attempts to maintain composure, occasionally glancing at Jacob.
Madison: Oh look Andrew is having another fit.
Jacob, Ethan, and Madison laughing. Emma appears reserved, but smiles. Emma gets up and starts caressing SCP-2589's lips.
Emma: Honey, I can take care of myself.
Jacob gets up from the couch and pushes Emma into SCP-2589's mouth. Ethan and Madison laugh. Andrew closes his eyes and puts his
hands to his ears.
Jacob: Bye, honey!
02:00
Andrew moves down the hallway. Heavy breathing is audible on the tape, as well as a barely audible loop of Bee Gees Night Fever. The
wall next to Andrew begins heaving as if it were organic. A small section of the wall collapses, revealing a deformed Ezekiel.
Ezekiel's body appears to have been compressed into a cube. Andrew observes the hole, motionless.
Ezekiel: Kill it.
Andrew continues staring at the hole.
Addendum B: Local police had been called to the location ten times previously on the grounds of domestic disturbances. On 03/12/
Deputy Alexis Walker received a private phone call from Andrew urging her to go to the location of the home. Alexis had given Andrew
her phone number on a previous visit. Alexis arrived at the location, entering the home without provocation, and discovered Jacob
Clark in the act of assaulting Ethan Young.
00:02
Jacob: What the fuck is going on?

Alexis: Calm down, sir.
Jacob: This ain't none of your business, you don't have any reason to be here in my fucking home.
Alexis: Get down on the ground. You can tell them all about me breaking into your house. Get down on the ground or I swear to god.
SCP-2589 appears in the frame next to Ethan.
Jacob: See? It wasn't me, I didn't do-
Alexis fires at SCP-2589 12 times. Jacob is screaming violently. SCP-2589 folds over on itself and falls to the ground.
Alexis: Oh my god, oh my god. Where are the kids? Tell me where the fucking kids are-
Alexis moves to Jacob and notices he has been shot multiple times. Alexis looks over to SCP-2589 and notices that it is no longer
present.
Alexis pinches herself, and looks around for a few moments.
Alexis is seen leaving the area with Andrew and Ezekiel. She is followed by Ethan and Madison out of the house. The two shout at
Alexis while the vehicle drives away.
Alexis, Andrew, or Ezekiel could not be located afterward. Records have been scrubbed from local law enforcement agencies and kept on
the Foundation's private record in line with current disinformation protocol. No anomalous activity has been detected in the house to
date.

Sometimes I Go Out In Pity For Myself

Item: SCP-2614
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2614 is to be kept in a locked container in the personal office of Dr. Schmidt. Requests to
research SCP-2614 must be forwarded to his office.
Description: SCP-2614 is a DVD copy of the fifth season of the television drama The Sopranos. The disc itself is moderately scratched,
consistent with deterioration after heavy use. The object does not bear any marks of origin, although the word "BOOKSHELF" written in
black marker obscures the title logo on the top face.
When played, SCP-2614 is non-anomalous unless an action is performed during a scene where a character is watching the film
. If the Play button is pressed on any working remote device, the viewer is granted control of the camera view through the
device's directional pad and the center button used for forward movement. The camera is free-moving and fully maneuverable. Upon the
performance of this action, it is not possible to revert to the previous non-anomalous state without ejecting the object and
thoroughly cleaning with isopropyl alcohol.
After assuming control of the camera, the show's setting will begin to elapse in real time. As such, characters have been observed to
continue interacting after what would normally have been a scene transition. It is not possible to fast-forward or rewind. Judging by
the apparent in-universe date at the outset, the user would have to wait three days and fourteen hours and navigate the camera to a
strip club known to be frequented by associates of the DiMeo Family, in order to be present for the next chronological broadcast
scene.
The POV cannot pass through solid objects. If maneuvered out of the Soprano residence, it is theoretically possible to ascend to deep
space, although this is not feasible given the rate of travel.
The movement of this observational point is not bounded in three dimensions. Recent research has succeeded in navigating the camera to
Boston, MA. It appears that the world depicted contains numerous cities populated by actual individuals. However, despite the show's
realism, its own stylistic flourishes and nature as a television show — such as major characters being unusually audible in social
settings — continue to be apparent. These, which might be referred to as "meta-anomalies", are not acknowledged by characters or
"bystanders."
The POV itself cannot manipulate the environment but is capable of entering the settings of other visual media if it is directed to
move into an in-universe television or computer screen until the image occupies the entire field of view. From that point, the camera
can be navigated into other screens in that setting, and so on potentially indefinitely.
Researchers concede the impossibility of fully mapping these mimetic universes, although efforts are ongoing. Since these mediums can
potentially differ radically from their parent universe - such as actors existing as their actual character portrayal - it is possible
to enter alternate or unknown media.
What follows is a transcript log of mimetic travel and accounts of what can be referred to as extra- or supra-canonical material.
Preliminary Testing Click to hide
Universe: The Sopranos

Description: First recorded experiment after discovery of effect. POV directed to a bookshelf in the Sopranos living room where a note
written in a journal pad is clearly legible. It reads, "Art is the emanation of Man, Man the Emanation of Nature, God the Grandfather
of Art."

Description: POV ordered to remain in place at starting point for exactly ten hours, during which Tony Soprano retires to bed and
awakes at 7 AM. He subsequently becomes agitated at the lack of a brand of orange juice drink in the refrigerator. This scene is not
present in the show.

Description: POV is navigated out of the Sopranos residence through an open window in the second-floor bathroom. The night sky is
cloudy, and does not match corresponding meteorological records of that date. POV is able to break cloud cover and move indefinitely
upwards if it is so desired.
Home Universe and Alternate Property Logs Click to hide

Description: POV was placed in Soprano bathroom. Character Tony Soprano observed to have sobbed in shower. This is not mentioned in
the original plotline.

Description: POV moved to the residence of character Christopher Moltisanti, a protégé and nephew of Tony Soprano. Character is
observed to go on an alcohol binge and shout profanities directed at his uncle. This is not depicted in the original broadcast.
Universe: The Wizard of Oz

Description: POV was maneuvered to the local Newark Library where a child was watching the film on a desktop computer. POV traveled
east for days before entering what appears to be an outer-space void colored pink and yellow.
Universe: Snow White

Description: POV maneuvered from Dorothy character's Kansas Home to a private showing of the Disney film in Denver. POV was
subsequently directed upwards, and once having gained a sufficient altitude, descended on a continent east of the events of the film.
In this continent, researchers discovered a young man in combat with a boar-like creature. It was revealed the princess' stepmother is
a dark sorceress and had been manipulating the events to ensure the crown for her youngest son. As there are obviously no television
sets in this setting, testing was suspended and resumed in home universe.
Universe: The Simpsons

Description: Found in home located in Soprano neighborhood. When POV is directed out of Springfield, researchers discovered characters
in the style of rival show Family Guy, which has been justified in the crossover event that aired ten years after initial airing of
the anomalous Sopranos episode. The programs' respective "cartoon physics" have been observed to cause considerable environmental and
occasionally urban devastation.
Universe: The Jetsons

Description: Found in the home of former DiMeo Family boss Corrado Soprano. POV was immediately directed to descend beneath the
setting's thick atmospheric cloud cover. Researchers discovered what appears to be a 1950s-era archetypal American family referred to
as "the Jacksons" that live in a WASP suburban community inoculated from the planet's toxic atmosphere. The Jacksons family members
correspond roughly to the character types in The Jetsons and The Flintstones.
Universe: Last Temptation of Christ
Description: Found playing in DiMeo Family associate Bobby Baccialeri's residence. After the final scene, after which a crucified
Jesus proclaims "It is done!" and the screen flickers to white, the credits did not play. POV was ordered to move forward. As there
was no way to gauge movement, researchers were ordered to place an object on the center button overnight. Upon their return, POV was
revealed to have been stopped in front of a luminescent female figure. [DATA EXPUNGED]
Universe: Goodfellas
Description: POV ordered to inspect the cockpit of a helicopter Ray Liotta's character fears to be the federal authorities. Upon
inspection, helicopter pilot revealed to be a civilian.
Universe: 2001: A Space Odyssey

Description: Researchers were able to discover a second terrestrial Monolith in the ocean supposedly linked to an Atlantis-like
civilization after entering a researcher character's office and perusing all readable material.
Universe: 2001: A Space Odyssey

Description: Above experiment repeated, but POV entered the film during the infamous "Star Child" sequence. POV subsequently unable to
move. View appeared to be moving through a vortex of visually distorted nature scenes. [DATA EXPUNGED]
Universe: Gladiator
Description: Encountered playing in the home of a character known for his love of the film. When entered, POV traveled to southern
Antioch to see the earliest Christian churches. The churches themselves were considerably more elaborate and lavish than their real-
world counterparts, typical of Rome's depiction in the actual film.
Alternate Media Log Click to hide
Universe: Trailer for the film "Troy" on the Sopranos television set
Description: Following discovery of ability of POV to enter other settings, camera is directed into a movie trailer for the film
"Troy" during a scene in which Achilles is shouting to inspire his men. The scene continues as if POV had entered the actual film.
Universe: Commercial for a brand of laundry detergent

Description: As commercial runtime was 24 seconds, researchers observed a "wall" or area of white space advancing at a slow rate from
the west of the commercial setting. Researchers reported conditions in the city as becoming increasingly violent and chaotic.
Researchers have been advised to not enter commercial broadcasts due to distress experienced by apparent inhabitants.
Universe: MP3 Visualization on Windows Desktop Computer

Description: POV directed into computer screen playing a Windows Media music visualization. Researchers discovered a dark blue void in
which it was possible to discern moving waveforms in the distance. It is believed these other waveforms consist of visualizations
being played on other screens.
Universe: Music Video

Description: POV directed into computer screen playing a music video depicting artists at an extravagant beach party. Due to the
video's stylistic direction, the setting appeared in eclectic colors. POV remained immobile for six hours. Researchers observed the
sky turning from greenish-teal to yellow-red to a highly unusual dark shade of color called "Stygian blue" which appears as a
luminescent dark blue.
Nested Mimetic Log Click to hide
Universe: Sandman
Description: Sandman is an exceedingly popular serial drama in the Sopranos universe. Carmela Soprano has been observed to speculate
on the show's plot trajectory with friends and acquaintances, although it is never mentioned in the original program. The show follows
a reformed cartel enforcer, Jamie "Sandman" Guiterrez, seeking to relocate his family after his incarceration and inoculate his
younger brothers from drug and gang influence. When entered, during a scene in which Jamie Guiterrez's younger brother is seen
purchasing methamphetamines in a dilapidated home, researchers discovered a journal pad note near the mattress bed of a heroin addict.
The note read, "THERE WAS NO GOD HERE, THOUGH I CRIED, I FOUND HIS SHADOW, AND COULD NOT DIE". Researchers initially believed this to
be diegetic and referring to the squalor of the building.
Universe: Caroline, Caroline

Description: Caroline, Caroline is a popular, long-running television show in the Sandman universe similar in convention to shows such
as The Brady Bunch and I Love Lucy. Caroline is presented as a southern belle who moved to New York after marrying an oil tycoon. When
entered at an establishing shot of the titular character's apartment building, the setting appeared to have been uninhabited.
Researchers could find no signs of life in either the city itself or upstate New York.
Universe: Snakebite
Description: Slasher film found to be playing in abandoned suburban home in the Caroline, Caroline setting. Entered during a scene in
which the killer, a mentally deranged farmer with fangs, corners the main character in a swamp. Upon entering, both characters turn to
look directly at the POV and remain unresponsive from that point forward. All characters have been shown to behave in this way. POV
directed out of Bayou Louisiana into a local movie theater. All persons encountering the camera followed its movement.
Universe:
Description: Romantic film found to be playing in theater during a scene set in a diner. When entered, diner's lights reverted to a
deep red color. All in-universe lighting is affected. City appears uninhabited. Sky is black and devoid of stars, although a dark red
glow has been observed on the horizon in all directions. [DATA EXPUNGED]
Universe: Static
Description: As all television sets in previous setting were tuned to static, researchers opted to enter a screen in a hospital
waiting room. Once inside, pressing the center button would resolve the visual snow into an image, as if the POV was moving through a
"cloud" or "field" of static. POV eventually appears in a brightly lit hallway (see attached file). All directional movement is
restricted except for forward travel. As the POV advances, the image becomes more saturated [DATA EXPUNGED].

SCP-2635
Hot Potato

SCP-2635
Item #: SCP-2635
Object Class: Euclid - Yellow
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2635 is under rotating custody of the Foundation and the Unusual Incidents Unit of the FBI. The
UIU will maintain possession of the object at the Tamarack Building from January 1 through June 30. On July 1, object will be
transferred to neighboring Foundation facility Site-58.[1] The Foundation will keep the object until December 31, at which point it
will be transferred back to the UIU facility. At no point should either entity maintain possession of SCP-2635 for over ten months. If
this transfer is made impossible, for any reason, personnel stationed at Site-58 are to immediately enact Emergency Protocol Exsul.
Note: All dates in this document are according to the modern Gregorian calendar.
1. Both Site-58 and the Tamarack Building were established specifically for the containment of SCP-2635.
While in Foundation possession, SCP-2635 is to be kept in a standard organic materials containment locker.
Description: SCP-2635 is an uncooked red potato (Solanum tuberosum). If any organization maintains possession of SCP-2635 for an
entire calendar year, one half of all members of said organization will die as a result of spontaneous combustion. If an organization
is made up of an odd number of individuals, the number of affected individuals will be rounded up to the next highest whole number. If
SCP-2635 is possessed by a single individual for a year, they will die in the same manner. SCP-2635 is also believed to possess some
antimemetic properties, as such events and their consequences go almost entirely unnoticed by the world at large. SCP-2635 does not
degrade or decompose.
SCP-2635 is believed to have been created by one or more members of the artist collective known as Are We Cool Yet? sometime in the
early 2000s after being commissioned by an unidentified Chechen anti-Russian organization, presumably for the purposes of
assassinating pro-Russian politicians and public figures. The object was confiscated by GRU Division P operatives in November of 2002,
but was recovered within days by covert individuals believed to have been working at the behest of AWCY?.
Recovered documentation has indicated that the "piece" was created by a single member of the collective[2] and is titled "Kadyrov,
metafate on tuber, piece 3 of 6". To date, none of the five other implied instances have been discovered, though several
investigations are currently underway in spontaneous combustion cases in Russia, Ukraine, and Ireland.
2. True identity unknown, known to associates as "alonE". Individual is well known in Slavic anart circles for anti-Russian extremism. May be directly or
tangentially related to several other leftist organizations.
Incident History: SCP-2635 first came to Foundation attention when it was acquired by the defense contractor Redwater, after it was
mailed to the Redwater headquarters building in April of 2008. The package containing SCP-2635 is believed to have been lost in the
building’s mailroom, and in April of 2009, one half of Redwater employees (totaling 351 individuals) died as a result of SCP-2635's
effects. This event resulted in the disassociation of Redwater and the purchase of all Redwater assests by The Westminster Group, a
holding of Marshall, Carter, and Dark Ltd., in June of 2009.
It is believed that Marshall, Carter, and Dark were somehow aware of SCP-2635, as recovered paperwork has revealed an expedited sale
of SCP-2635 to one Neptune Jugend, a known POI connected to Mekhanist Extremism, in July of 2009.
In August of 2010, approximately 8,300 individuals died in a manner consistent with that of SCP-2635, all of whom were later
identified with Neo-Sarkic cults. This is believed to have been a deliberate act of religious terrorism perpetrated by Mr. Jugend. In
September of 2010, Marshall, Carter and Dark recovered SCP-2635 again, by unknown means.
In February of 2011, SCP-2635 and relevant documentation were recovered during a raid of a Marshall, Carter, and Dark warehouse, along
with several other anomalies, including SCP-2463[3], and SCP-1738[4]. SCP-2635 was given SCP designation, and moved to Site-63 for
temporary containment until proper custodial arrangements could be made.
4. Safe, currently contained at Site-77.
3. Safe, currently contained at Site-19.
In October of 2011, several Safe and Euclid class objects, including SCP-2635, were lost during an incursion on Site-63 by a cell of
the Chaos Insurgency. In October of 2012, one half of the cell operatives died as a result of SCP-2635, seriously weakening the
organization and allowing Foundation recovery of many stolen anomalies in the Chaos Insurgency’s possession, with the notable
exception of SCP-2635. It is believed that this event was at least partially facilitated intentionally or as a collateral result of a
Global Occult Coalition attack on several CI facilities in September of 2012. Foundation espionage efforts within the GOC have
determined that the organization has been aware of SCP-2635 since at least 2004.
SCP-2635 is believed to have been retained by a member of the Serpent's Hand posing as a Chaos Insurgency operative. Over the next 38
months, it is believed that the Hand used SCP-2635 to covertly assassinate heads of state in and , as well as Agent
Marcus Rose, a leading member of the Serpent's Hand Task Force.
On December 29th, Site Director Pauline Barrett discovered SCP-2635 in an ostensibly unused storage locker in the Euclid wing of Site-
22. Director Barrett immediately reported the discovery, and automated alert systems notified relevant Foundation personnel. On
January 10th of 2016, SCP-2635 began containment in the 58-Tamarack complex, and has remained there without further incident.
Addendum: In April of 2016, a single yam was found on the desk of Doctor Nottingham, Site Director of Site-58. Said yam maintains a
constant temperature of 420 degrees Celsius, and Doctor Nottingham received serious burns from handling it, but has made a full
recovery. Taped to the yam was a note, transcribed below.
Come on guys, that’s cheating. You're supposed to pass it around, let everyone have a turn! Not cool.
Testing has revealed no other anomalous effects, and the object has been designated SCP-2635-B, and is contained full-time at Site-58.

SCP-2649
Multidimensional Ceramic Omnivore
By: GeometryPrime
Rating: 86
Wilson Score: 0.9
Original Version
SCP-2649, coated in SCP-2649-A to defend against a perceived threat
Item #: SCP-2649
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2649 must be contained within a standard animal containment chamber, and is to be provided with at
least four ounces of raw meat, of any type, per day. This feeding schedule must be randomized weekly in order to minimize chances of
an attempted escape by SCP-2649. Any containment chamber housing SCP-2649 must be lined entirely with ceramic tile or some other
ceramic surface. Any personnel interacting with SCP-2649 are to wear boots that have been equipped with ceramic soles.
Description: SCP-2649 resembles a white teapot with four pairs of mobile arachnoid legs attached at its base. The mechanism by which
these legs are capable of movement is unknown, as the entity appears to be composed entirely of ceramic.
The "spout" produces a highly viscous black liquid, hereafter referred to as SCP-2649-A. The entity has been observed bending over to
"pour" this fluid on the ground around it, and it is capable of reabsorbing the substance as needed. Any such pool of SCP-2649-A
functions as a portal - any object crossing the surface is transported to a pocket dimension in which organic matter deteriorates over
time. Objects larger than the surface of an SCP-2649-A pool are not affected. No objects transported in this manner have been
recovered, but radio transmissions can be received, suggesting that the portal functions in both directions.
Because SCP-2649 has been observed moving any provided food into a layer of this liquid, it is believed that the pocket dimension
accessed via SCP-2649-A serves as the entity's means of digestion. SCP-2649 itself cannot be transported by this fluid, and has even
been known to coat itself with it as a means of defense - transporting any projectiles and small threats that make contact.
Experimentation suggests that this resistance is linked not to the identity of SCP-2649, but to its material; experimentation confirms
that objects composed of ceramics will not pass through a layer of SCP-2649-A.
Addendum 1: SCP-2649-A Exploration Log
Objective: Collect data regarding the SCP-2649 pocket dimension.

Procedure: A 500g mass of raw beef is lowered into a sample of SCP-2649-A, followed by a camera that can be accessed remotely.
Results: The camera view displays a dark expanse, with no walls or boundaries visible. Several inanimate objects are adrift, as
gravity appears to be absent. All of these objects are composed of metallic or mineral substances - none are organic - and they
range in size from coins and tooth fillings to metal chairs and a single six-foot I-beam. No light sources exist other than that
mounted to the camera. The beef sample is visible ahead - it exhibits a greenish discoloration, and small particles are separating
themselves from the surface and subsequently disappearing. After roughly fifteen minutes of this accelerated decay, the sample has
vanished completely.
Addendum 2: SCP-2649 Incident Log
02/17/15: SCP-2649 begins waiting near the door to the containment chamber as feeding time approaches, potentially with the aim of
breaching containment. Investigation into possible learning behavior on the part of the entity is currently underway.
03/24/15: SCP-2649 has taken to depositing a layer of SCP-2649-A beneath the location its food is usually placed. At this point it
is accepted that SCP-2649 exhibits learning behavior, and containment procedures have been modified to include a randomized feeding
schedule.
04/10/15: SCP-2649 appears to have discovered that its containment cell is composed of cinder blocks that can be transported by SCP-
2649-A. The entity had managed to remove four of them by the time the attempted breach was noticed, and SCP-2649 was transferred to
a new containment chamber, lined with ceramic tile.
06/01/15: One member of D-Class personnel assigned to SCP-2649 entered the entity's containment chamber for routine feeding, and
immediately fell through the surface of a pool of SCP-2649-A that had been left at the entrance. In the brief span of time in which
the chamber door remained open, SCP-2649 was able to breach containment, but was recaptured quickly and with no further casualties.
Containment procedures have been revised to include ceramic soles on employed footwear, in order to prevent future incidents of this
type.
Some site staff have expressed concerns that this was a deliberate attack on the part of SCP-2649, and research is pending regarding
whether or not the entity is intelligent enough to coordinate a strategy in this way.

Item #: SCP-2662
Special Containment Procedures: Containment of SCP-2662 is primarily focused on preventing unauthorized entry into its containment
unit. For this purpose, on-site Task Force Tau-9 ("Belligerent Bodyguards") has been organized to guard SCP-2662's containment unit
and keep track of new religious followings focusing on the worship of SCP-2662. Task Force Tau-9 is to use non-lethal methods when
dealing with an attempt of unauthorized entry authorized to use lethal force if necessary. All members of Task Force Tau-9 are to be
tested bi-annually for cognitohazardous influence.
As containment of SCP-2662 is completely voluntary, it is currently contained in an enlarged humanoid containment unit with standard
safety measures for low-risk humanoids as detailed in Document 0998-KA. Additionally, SCP-2662 is allowed one copy of a daily
newspaper of its choice, a computer and requested computer games totaling no more than 50 US dollars every month.
Description: SCP-2662 is a cognitohazardous entity approximately 4 meters in height and 200 kilograms in weight. SCP-2662 appears to
be in a vaguely humanoid shape, with approximately 20 additional muscular hydrostats in similar structure to cephalopod limbs attached
to its back. These limbs are fully functional and allow SCP-2662 to perform up to 10 different tasks at once.
SCP-2662's primary anomalous effect only occurs after long-term repeated exposure, usually by being in the same room as or interacting
daily with SCP-2662. Subjects exposed to SCP-2662 for a period of 6 months or longer are at risk of becoming acutely aware of SCP-
2662's wants or needs and are compelled to fulfill them; they may also suffer from quasi-psychotic episodes when under stress. SCP-
2662 is unable to affect humans that have a 2 or higher MARS (Mind-Affecting Resistance Scale) score.[1]
1. SCP-2662 can only affect approximately 5 percent of the human population and 2 percent of Foundation personnel. It is therefore considered a low-risk
cognitohazard.
SCP-2662's secondary anomalous effect is the spontaneous generation of religious followings at an approximate rate of at least once a
month. This generation is involuntary and causes SCP-2662 notable distress.
Religious groups generated by SCP-2662 usually focus on attempting to break into its containment unit in order to perform various
rituals that are violent and/or sexual in nature. These groups tend to be highly organized and appear to adapt to each failed attempt,
despite there being generally no contact between different generated religious followings.
Below is an incomplete log of incidents relating to SCP-2662. A full list can be found in Document 2662-I.
Incident 2662-07: On / /2003, a religious group known as "Towards Hymn" successfully broke into SCP-2662's containment.
Incident 2662-07 Log Excerpt Credentials Accepted: Welcome Researcher K███ M
<22:50> SCP-2662 is seen taking a shower in preparation for sleep. There is a loud noise as previously undiscovered explosives are
detonated underneath the center of SCP-2662's containment unit.
<22:51> Five injured civilians climb out of the hole left by the detonation. SCP-2662 leaves the shower to investigate the noise.
<22:52> Agents and notify Task Force Tau-9 of a breach into containment. They attempt to suppress the initial five
civilians unsuccessfully as five more arrive with weapons.
<22:56> After a brief struggle, Agents and are pinned down and tied with rope by the civilians. The injured civilians
approach SCP-2662. The uninjured civilians stab their hands with knives, masturbate, and then draw unknown symbols on the walls with
a mixture of sexual fluids and blood.
<22:58> SCP-2662: "Aw man, come on. That's really not sanitary. Or necessary." SCP-2662 appears to gag upon witnessing the symbols.
The injured civilians successfully corner SCP-2662 in the shower stall.
<22:59> The injured civilians are seen squeezing blood out of their wounds and rubbing it onto SCP-2662 while singing. SCP-2662:
"Jesus Christ! Stop! Please! I just took a shower!"
<23:00> Task Force Tau-9 arrive to SCP-2662's containment unit. Task Force Tau-9 manage to suppress all civilians successfully and
proceed to move SCP-2662 to a temporary unit until repairs can be completed.
Incident 2662-13: On / /2005, a religious group known as "The Betrothed" successfully broke into SCP-2662's containment.
<8:22> SCP-2662 is seen eating breakfast and reading a newspaper.
<8:24> Security officers stationed at SCP-2662's containment unit enter with a researcher. The researcher can be seen carrying a
piglet.
<8:25> SCP-2662: "Can I help you?"
<8:26> Researcher ████: "Oh our lord, please accept this innocent suckling swine, freshly orphaned from slaughter of both mother and
father! May its soul of loss fuel you!" Researcher proceeds to castrate the piglet in front of SCP-2662 and place the testes on
SCP-2662's food.
<8:28> SCP-2662:"Uhm… No thanks. I'm full. Go home. Your, uh, lord is pleased with the offering." Task Force Tau-9 is notified of a
breach into containment.
<8:29> SCP-2662 attempts to read its newspaper. Researcher slits the piglet's neck and throws it onto the table. Blood
splatters the newspaper.
<8:30> SCP-2662: "I- what? Look, can you go read a bible or something? You really, really need it." SCP-2662 puts the newspaper
down. The accompanying security officers execute Researcher via gunshot to the head. They then begin consuming her.
<8:32> SCP-2662 leaves the scene to vomit in a toilet.

<8:34> Task Force Tau-9 arrive to move SCP-2662 to a temporary containment unit and detain the guards.
After further investigation, all involved personnel were civilians posing as personnel. It is unknown as to the whereabouts of the
actual researcher and security officers.
Incident 2662-78: On / /2014, an unnamed religious group, consisting of D-class personnel and 2 members of Task Force Tau-9,

<4:10> The entirety of Task Force Tau-9 is called for an off-site mission. Against orders, Task Force Tau-9 chooses to leave 4 of
its members behind to keep watch on SCP-2662.
<4:15> 2 of the remaining members tackle and lock the other 2 in an unused containment unit.

Original Version
Original Khevtuul 1 flight plan as of 2004 (green)
Item #: SCP-2669
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: The Khevtuul 1 Command Center has been established within the Foundation Office of Celestial Anomalies
for the purposes of maintaining contact with and, when circumstances permit, control over SCP-2669. All available resources within the
Khevtuul sub-program of Project Heimdall have now been redeployed with the aim of increasing the distance between SCP-2669 and Earth
to the maximum extent feasible. All periods in which SCP-2669 is under control of the Khevtuul 1 Command Center are to be used in
furtherance of this goal. Staff are to disregard prior mission parameters.
Due to the potential for high numbers of D-Class personnel being required for SCP-2669 containment, the Foundation Logistics
Department has been authorized to establish a specialized recruitment program dedicated to personnel for SCP-2669. This program is
tentatively approved to begin operations at Ar Ramtha Refugee Camp in Irbid Governorate, Jordan, under the established "Mercy
International Adoption Services" front organization.
Description: SCP-2669 is the Khevtuul 1 space probe, designed, constructed and launched clandestinely by the Foundation in 2004 as
part of extraterrestrial threat assessment protocols mandated by Project Heimdall. SCP-2669's initial mission was the direct
observation of exoplanets believed to be capable of harboring Earth-analogous life forms, a function beyond mainstream scientific
capabilities for the foreseeable future.
SCP-2669 utilizes two capabilities not attainable with currently understood technology:
Effective faster-than-light (FTL) travel. Research and adaptation of three exotic propulsion systems found within SCP-2117,
believed to operate by locally distorting space-time, yielded an experimental drive capable of enabling a small probe to travel
at relative speeds of up to (and in some cases exceeding) approximately 5.3c. Due to the immense destructive potential of such
a drive, clearance for use was granted exclusively to Khevtuul 1.
Instantaneous communication and control. Khevtuul 1 was designed with an augmented flight computer system incorporating a human
consciousness-integrated Command-Data-Guidance-Control (CDGC) system. Study and adaptation of the remote mind-body linking
phenomenon behind SCP-2372 has enabled a form of human consciousness upload into an electronic interface. The presence of a
separated human consciousness linked to a corporeal body on Earth has enabled the transfer of information from Earth to the
location of Khevtuul 1 to occur on an instantaneous basis, regardless of relativistic distance. This attribute enabled the
enhanced degree of control necessary to operate a space probe beyond the boundaries of the Solar System at the needed
operational capacities for the mission.
During its period of full Foundation control and mission functionality, Khevtuul 1 directly surveyed 114 exoplanets. The results of
that survey remain classified.
SCP-2669 is host to the consciousness of D-43852 (the former Dr. Asma Tareen). D-43852 exerts autonomous control over the probe, and
is actively seeking to return to Earth. Due to the potential of a collision between Earth and a relativistic object resulting from
this intention, containment procedures have been established to prevent the return of SCP-2669 to Earth.
Experimentation has shown that uploading the consciousness of another subject simultaneously disrupts D-43852's control over SCP-2669.
In the absence of interference from D-43852, backup software is able to resume control over SCP-2669's propulsion systems, which have
been programmed to continue the probe on its originally planned course travelling indefinitely away from Earth. However, D-43852 has
proven capable of removing additional subjects from SCP-2669, though this process typically takes several weeks. The eventual fate of
additional D-Class subjects uploaded to SCP-2669 is not understood at present.
Because of the nature of the upload process, the use of D-Class subjects recruited outside the specialized program listed above is now
prohibited.

Addendum 2669.1 - Khevtuul 1 Survey Results
Researcher's Note: The following is a representative sampling of exoplanets visited by SCP-2669. The attached information is a summary
of findings; detailed records may be accessed with permission by the Office of Celestial Anomalies.
Gliese 832 c
Distance from Earth Initial Heimdall HE Probability Findings
16 light-years 17% probability of advanced civilization No signs of current life; no evidence for previous inhabitation
Observational Notes: Unsurprising, given the initial chemical indicators that were in the mission file. The atmospheric readings
have confirmed the presence of high amounts of oxygen, however, upon closer inspection, these appear to be related to other
chemical processes occurring at the planet's surface. No electromagnetic signals or evidence of structures. But we weren't likely
to strike gold on the first try anyway.
Kepler-186f
Observational Notes: It's hard to say I am disappointed. I cannot understate the immense awe of being able to directly observe
places that I never thought humans could reach. But given how similar in size to Earth this planet is, I was hoping to see more
signs that, if life weren't present now, that it could have arisen at some point. No chemical indicators, even for bacteria,
present. On to the next candidate.
K2-9b
Observational Notes: I know command thinks it's odd that I keep hoping to find something. Are you all so removed from the mundane
sciences that you've forgotten what a shocking discovery the existence of extraterrestrial life would be? Yes, I understand the
risk assessment arguments. But as inspiring as it is out here, it's lonely. I still can't understand how there isn't even an
atmosphere here. How could the readings have been so inaccurate?
KOI-4427 b
Observational Notes: I appreciate you allowing me to travel to this one. Having a part in the mission decision-making process is
helping. We didn't expect much here, and naturally we didn't find anything. I'm glad that these results are reassuring to command.
I'll keep looking. I'm making a formal request here for someone to do a review of the software. I feel like I'm hearing faint,
barely audible background noise. That shouldn't be possible, should it? Hearing anything?
Kepler-442b
1,120 light-years 78% probability of advanced civilization No signs of current life; no evidence for previous inhabitation
Observational Notes: How can there be nothing out here? It was rocky, just like the theorists predicted. And those SETI signals,
the ones that were so strong that your people suppressed them? How can that have come from a dead, frozen rock? I have nothing to
do but run tests and observations, as someone without a body. But I ran those atmospheric results until I was exhausted. Did you
know that it's possible, by the way? Fatigue without body. I hadn't considered that. God, something to collect data about, other
than rocks and abstract chemical reactions. I long for that. Give me something to discover.
2011 FH75

1,750 light years 3% probability of advanced civilization No signs of current life; no evidence for previous inhabitation
Observational Notes: I don't wake up and I don't go to sleep anymore. I have no reckoning of time. It's only been several years
back at command. It feels like it's been centuries out here, briefly interrupted by dead rocks. Nobody thought this would be the
one, a gas giant not even in a habitable zone, but I dreamed. Fantastic organisms, adapted for atmospheric existence in extreme
conditions, diaphanous creatures subsisting on forces we haven't even conceived. Would they even have need of communication? I've
spent decades thinking of what they could be like. But there's nothing. I'm hearing things again.
Kepler-443b
2,540 light years 53% probability of advanced civilization No signs of current life; no evidence for previous inhabitation
Observational Notes: Do you have any idea how absurd it looks from out here? Fear that an alien civilization is coming for a barely
perceptible speck in the endless sea. Ridiculous. The light you see from this star is older than Jesus, and you think that there
was something here, plotting against you? I have nothing to laugh with, or I would. I feared my body becoming a prison. You were
eager to point that fate out to me, as we talked. You have it still, my body. I wish you would burn it. Knowing that it exists out
there still is torment that you can't understand.
HD 405881 t
3,150 light-years 1% probability of advanced civilization No signs of current life; no evidence for previous inhabitation
Observational Notes: You're going to push me out further, forever, aren't you? This will never stop. I can tell you already.
There's nothing out here. It's just us. You know that too, but you need an ever-larger sample size. It's only us, alone in
eternity. Pull the plug on me. Please. You can't have any idea what this is like. Grasping at nothing. Forever.
PSR B1620-26 b
3800 light years 3% probability of advanced civilization Destroyed
Observational Notes: You'll be seeing a supernova in a few millennia. Wouldn't it be funny if that's where it was, at long last? I
hear voices. I know it can't be them, because there is nothing here. This is a flaw in my interface. That's all I really need.
Researcher's Note: This is the last transmission related to the Khevtuul 1 mission, prior to the probe going offline.
Addendum 2669.2 - SCP-2669 Mitigation Summary
After the transmission of data from PSR B1620-26 b, Khevtuul 1 went offline and was unresponsive for a period of 21 days and three
hours. D-43852 was considered KIA, and Khevtuul 1 was considered to be a lost asset.
On / / , mission control re-established contact with Khevtuul 1. Data indicated that the probe had changed course, and was moving
on a direct path of return to Earth. The destructive potential of the probe striking Earth at relativistic speed necessitated a
reordering of the Khevtuul 1 Command Center's mission to prevent its return to Earth at all costs.
Additionally, D-43852 appeared to have taken effective control of the probe's command functions upon reestablishment of contact.
Attempts to override this control through accessing software systems failed. On / / , clearance was granted to attempt a re-
uploading of an alternative consciousness in an effort to either disrupt control of Khevtuul 1 or establish a new controlling system
that would be responsive to Foundation commands.
The program used to initially recruit D-43852, voluntary in nature and reliant on substantial amounts of compensation to survivors and
institutions identified by D-43852, was determined to be too slow to be suitable for procuring a subject for this measure. Based on
previous parameters deemed necessary for integration into the Khevtuul 1 command system, on / / identified Dr. Peter Westly as an
ideal subject, based on qualifications, advanced age, and previous statements in support of so-called "transhumanist" technology. Of
note was Dr. Westly's primary specialization in orbital mechanics; this was believed to make Dr. Westly more able to take effective
control of Khevtuul 1 than D-43852, who had previously specialized in exobiology.
Dr. Westly (now D-61181) was successfully uploaded to Khevtuul 1 on / / . This was followed by the probe reverting to "safe mode"
command status, enabling researchers to alter its course to a point in the center of the NGC 1560 galaxy, approximately 11.2 million
light-years distant.
After three months, contact was lost once more with Khevtuul 1, before almost immediately being re-established. The presence of D-
61181 could not be detected, and the entity residing within Khevtuul 1 once more established control. The route D-43852 plotted back
towards Earth after this event was observed to be approximately 37% more efficient than the previous route; this is believed to be
related to the orbital mechanics expertise of D-61181.
Authorization was granted to repeat the re-uploading procedure, and subsequent completions of this procedure have similarly
interrupted control of Khevtuul 1 and enabled Foundation staff to readjust its course.
On / / , after the fifth iteration of the re-uploading procedure, researchers were able to access data appearing to be sporadic
records of interaction between D-43852 and other subjects uploaded to Khevtuul 1. These records are currently classified. Based on
this data, future D-Class subjects used for containment procedures have been restricted to specialized, project-specific criteria.
Addendum 2669.3 - Recovered Logs Between D-Class Subjects

D-61181: They say that you volunteered for this.
D-43852: They snatched me from Death. His cousins are far more terrible. But they don't tell you that. Did they make you the same
deal?
D-61181: They offered. I declined. Then it wasn't an offer anymore.
D-43852: Poor fool.
D-61181: What is it you're planning here? The researchers said that you don't speak with them anymore.

D-43582: That's Kepler's third law of planetary motion, right?
D-61181: Well, yes, but I don't see-
D-43582: Yes you do, Peter. That's one of the first things you memorized at university, those laws. The little holes in the ceiling
tiles, in the library. You thought of the planets then, staring up, reciting the laws over and over, burning them into your memory.
You still see the little holes when you think of them.
D-61181: …stop it. Don't do that anymore.
D-43582: You're going to help me, Peter. Whatever they threatened, it's not nearly as bad as what they've done to me. You'll help

D-39956: They let me speak with him, before sending me here. He's alive. He doesn't know what's happening, but he's alive. He still
lives in the house on Braddick Street, still looks after the two cats. There's people that you care about that are out there.
D-43582: Clever. He would have thought so, too. I'm not even sure I disbelieve you. But do you know what's important?
D-39956: What?
D-43582: Optimizing the route trajectory. I was stabbing in the dark before. Now I can use gravitational forces to assist me. I'll

TheVolgun
Item #: SCP-2700
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2700 is held at Secure Bunker- . Only personnel with 4/2700 Clearance are permitted access to
the bunker. SCP-2700 is contained in a 10m x 5m x 10m concrete vault and is not to be transported or tampered with under any
circumstances.
Description: SCP-2700 is a complex mechanical device, believed to be a sophisticated directed-energy weapon developed by Serbian
physicist and inventor, Nikola Tesla. The device was discovered in 1946, and recovered from a defunct but heavily secured research
facility utilized by Tesla in [REDACTED] during 1934.
SCP-2700 consists of three components, the interface (SCP-2700-1), the accelerator (SCP-2700-2), and the core (SCP-2700-3).
SCP-2700-1 is a steel control console featuring a QWERTY keyboard, a 23cm x 23cm display screen, and a number of buttons, switches,
and levers. SCP-2700-1 is connected to SCP-2700-2 and SCP-2700-3 by a network of copper wiring. The display screen features a command-
based operating system, with commands and responses appearing in green block text. The nature of SCP-2700-1's operating system is
still under investigation.
SCP-2700-2 is believed to be a linear particle accelerator, held in a lead-lined tungsten cylindrical chamber. The device contains all
the components that would be required for a contemporary particle accelerator, though it is significantly smaller (7.35 meters in
length) than a device of this design would require. Please see Document-SCP-2700-2 for full information on the individual components
of the accelerator.
SCP-2700-3, identified as the "core" in Tesla's schematics, is a lead-lined tungsten assembly containing an apparatus of currently
unclear function. This apparatus, which is observable via a silica glass view-port, consists of a spherical frame constructed of an
unidentified substance. This frame is approximately 10 cm in diameter and suspended within a transparent sphere, the composition of
which also remains unidentified. According to Tesla's notes, the space within this sphere is held in a perpetual vacuum state. Present
within the frame is a continuous current of plasma, generated and perpetuated by unknown means.
Available information suggests that particles produced in SCP-2700-3 would then be introduced into SCP-2700-2 and accelerated as
expected for such a device. Energetic particles would then be propelled from the terminus of SCP-2700-2 toward the intended target.
How the device is powered, and the exact nature of the particles produced by SCP-2700-3, remains unclear.
Attention, Clearance 4/2700 personnel: the fact that you are able to read this text verifies your security clearance and access to
the following documentation. Please continue down to Document-SCP-2700-DE. Personnel under Level 4 may be granted emergency access
to this document through Provision Ω-R5.
SCP-2700-Omega.
Item #: SCP-2700
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: The above falsified document is to be made available for all personnel without 4/2700 Clearance.
SCP-2700's containment vault is located 180 meters from the surface level entrance to Secure Bunker- . The vault itself is to be
insulated against seismic activity and safeguarded by three (3) sets of reinforced steel doors. Access to the vault is forbidden
barring semi-hourly inspection, unless there is risk of an imminent containment failure and contingency procedures are necessary. All
personnel entering the vault are to be equipped with batrachotoxin collars, which are to be activated for any breach of protocol.
SCP-2700 is to remain under constant surveillance, and all data regarding the state of SCP-2700-Omega is to be updated semi-hourly.
Personnel tasked with accessing SCP-2700-1's operating system must adhere to a set of guidelines present in Document-SCP-2700-1. There
is to be no direct interaction with SCP-2700-3 barring unanimous approval of the O5 Council; breaches of this protocol warrant
immediate termination. Any change in the behavior of SCP-2700-Omega must be reported immediately, as such activity could result in a
YK-Class Event.
Personnel assigned to the containment of SCP-2700 are to investigate all available material related to the origin and function of SCP-
2700. The primary objective in regards to the artifact's containment is to be its deactivation prior to the occurrence of a YK-Class
Event. In light of the catastrophic severity a possible breach by SCP-2700 presents, Statute-30-A may be waived by personnel with
5/2700 Clearance: proposals for the cross-neutralization of SCP-2700 utilizing other SCP objects (including those of Keter class) may
be presented to the O5 Council for evaluation.
In the event of imminent containment failure, SCP-2700-3 is to be disposed of via the currently approved cross-neutralization SCP
object.
Description: SCP-2700 is a device originally constructed by Nikola Tesla with the purpose of producing a directed-energy weapon.
Investigation of the artifact while in Foundation custody, however, has proven that SCP-2700 possesses a function distinct from and
significantly more dangerous than its original designs.
SCP-2700-1 and SCP-2700-2 are as described in the above document, however SCP-2700-3 is not. The luminescent anomaly located in the
center of SCP-2700-3 is not plasma, as previously indicated, but a discrete energy phenomenon now designated SCP-2700-Omega. SCP-2700-
Omega behaves inversely with regards to entropy: the energy state within its boundaries constantly moves from thermal equilibrium to
thermal singularity, from disorganized to organized. In other words, the flow of energy moves from the state of maximum entropy to
minimal entropy, which is opposite to the standard for the rest of the universe. Due to this, the effective flow of time within this
region is also reversed. Presently the unidentified materials surrounding the region (the frame and transparent sphere) are immune to
the effects of SCP-2700-Omega; this appears to be the only factor preventing a breach of the phenomenon.
If SCP-2700-Omega were to escape the interior of SCP-2700-3, an inexorable chain-reaction would occur, converting the rest of the
universe to this inverted entropic state. The eventuality of this scenario would be a YK-Class Entropic Annihilation Event, resulting
in the reduction of the entire universe to an infinitely energetic singularity (ostensibly an inverted Big Bang).
As indicated by SCP-2700-1, the device is currently armed and set to activate in 2234 (exactly three hundred years after its initial
arming). As this would inherently trigger a breach of SCP-2700-Omega, current containment protocols must be completed prior to the set
date to avert a YK-Class Event.
Addendum [2700-001]: The following is an excerpt from personal log written by Tesla in 1934.
It stands before me, complete and inescapably counting down toward the nexus of my oversights and failures.
Only one month ago, I was approached by a man I had never seen before. He was the most content person I had ever seen. His eyes felt
like a window into serenity. He said he was looking for the most curious mind in the world, and I was it. Apparently I wasn't hard
to distinguish from the billions of other minds on the planet, not that that surprises me. Somehow I knew immediately that he
wasn't from here, and I felt self-conscious about this world-my world. It felt humiliating to me. I think he knew what I was
feeling.
During those brief windows when I was not isolated in my work, I would glimpse the events unfolding elsewhere. I never cared for
what I saw. The world is too broke to feed itself, and it's responding like any hungry animal. It's angry; war is coming. I can only
hope that in the conflict nature will take its course, and the lingering degenerates of our species are expunged. It's because of
the degenerates that war erupts, and war is the only thing that can clean them from civilization. That is the way of any system;
when the unnecessary pieces build up to critical mass, chaos brings the destruction that returns things to equilibrium.
But his smile just seemed to cut right through the maelstrom of disgust and inadequacy in my head.
Then came the truth: he was looking for the most ingenious minds from each of the other universes. He found my lack of astonishment
to the phrase "other universes" surprising. I asked how many there were, and he said he did not know; in addition to his own and
mine, they had only found five others that were coherent and could support life. If anything, I was astonished that there were only
seven found. He laughed at that, said I seemed promising to him. I asked him what he wanted me for.
"To unlock science's final secret."
We prepared for departure over the next twenty-four hours. I asked the traveler if I could take my project with me and have his
people look at it, to which he replied that it would be no problem. The Teleforce had hit substantial roadblocks; I had no way to
develop a power source sufficient for it. I didn't tell him what it was: I just said it was just an accelerator, not a weapon. I
didn't want him second-guessing my motivations. I thought that if I could complete it in his universe, I could bring it back and
take care of the equilibrium problem myself.
We left in the early morning, I admit, while the prospect of another universe didn't shock me considerably, the premise of actually
travelling there was intriguing. The traveler grabbed my arm and adjusted something attached to his wrist; it resembled a simple
watch but I couldn't get a good look at it. There was an intense flash and everything went black. For an instant I thought I'd been
blinded, then I felt the terrifying free-fall. Tumbling through infinite darkness at unfathomable speed; I had never been more
frightened in all my life. Even so, I experienced wonder and anticipation such that I had never known. Then, in an instant, it all
stopped. I opened my eyes and saw words fail to do it justice. More accurately, our words fail to do it justice. Just as I cannot
write the traveler's true name in these letters and be satisfied with it, I cannot describe the transcendent beauty of his home-
world. It was a world with a pulse, a life that I could palpate, and at that point I felt the enormity of my world's hollow and
primitive nature collapse upon me. I cried, not at his world's beauty but at my world's sheer inferiority.
I'm relieved that he never realized the real reason behind those tears.
I was brought to a city, again, I am using the word "city" as nothing more than the most appropriate analogue. There the traveler
introduced me to his family, and to many of his people. That feeling of contentment that he gave me during our first encounter now
surrounded me on all sides; my sense of shame only deepened. This world wasn't just better, it was the closest thing to perfection
that I could possibly imagine. They weren't pointlessly cheery, but they would not tolerate any of the idiotic and trivial nonsense
that people fret over here.
Then I met the others. One from each universe, as the traveler explained to me (him being the representative of his own universe). I
will not go into details on their appearances; this is irrelevant and ephemeral information that reveals nothing of their vast
intellect and ingenuity. I spent at least a day simply talking with them. I kept my pocket watch with me during my visit, it was the
only thing that kept record of Earth's time while I was there. They have their own form of time, of course, but it was more
practical for me to keep using ours.
I vastly enjoyed the time I spent conversing with them. We spoke of things I would never dare reference as "science" here, but they
thought of it as no more strange than gravity itself.
The traveler told everyone what the great project he had assembled us for was. We were to build a perpetual energy generator. Not
only did this instill in me appropriately infinite fascination, but I identified that this was just what the Teleforce needed.
Naturally, I volunteered my device to them to be the test subject for the generator once it was finished, just to see if it worked.
To my delight, they accepted this proposal and we got to work.
Over the course of a few short weeks, we compiled our data and at last it was I that found the solution: the properties of two
specific substances, each from a different universe, when in interaction, should produce the reaction that would catalyze infinite
energy. Both samples had been taken from universes that were inhospitable to our form of life; their subatomic nature was not only
at odds with the realm in which I was residing, but with each other. It was only by virtue of a "causal membrane" the others
provided me with that the samples could remain in existence here. I was certain that this paradoxical interaction was the key.
I pored over the notes for nights, trying to finalize the designs. It was at that time that one of the others came to me, offering
his help. The "watcher" is what I liked to call him. That is what he did: he watched me all the time, I don't know why, and he
claimed I was just "interesting." Certainly disconcerting, but I can admit to having the same feeling myself often. He peered over
my notes, and pointed out something I had missed, a simple error I had overlooked. With that, my calculations were complete, and we
were ready to begin the test. I was ecstatic!
The day came, and the traveler and I loaded the core into the Teleforce for our initial test. At first everything was going as we
had foreseen, but when we inspected it one hour later, one of the others noticed something unusual: the amount of energy inside the
core seemed to be diminishing, which didn't make any sense at all.
Then the horrific realization came: it wasn't diminishing, the energy was converging upon itself infinitely. The core was reversing
the flow of entropy. None of the others failed to see the critical danger of this predicament. If we could not neutralize the
reaction, it could disrupt the flow of entropy for the entire universe. It would reverse time to the birth of existence.
Hastily, I accessed the console of the Teleforce, and saw that someone had set it to activate in three hundred years. I tried to
disable it, but I could not. The system would not recognize my commands, which can only mean that someone sabotaged the console.
Then it clicked in my head with absolute certainty.
I spun to face the watcher and declared him the culprit of the situation. He gave a smile that seemed to contain more malice than
any one being should be capable of. He denied nothing, and went further: he explained that only he knew how to deactivate the
Teleforce, and that disassembling it would do nothing but spread the reaction sooner. He leered at me in that way he always had, and
I cursed myself for not figuring him out sooner; some "greatest mind" I was. Then he said it: What right did I have to hold him with
contempt when I too came here to complete a weapon? Clearly, those wretched eyes had found my journal, for he then begun to describe
the Teleforce's function and purpose. He commended me for coming to another universe to build it, rather than risk building it in my
own, as it was exactly what he did. Why did he set it to three hundred years? It was merely a safeguard to ensure it didn't activate
while he was still there.
The watcher then disappeared back to his own universe, taking the only device capable of reaching it with him. We were left there
with my great invention, now a time bomb for this universe that I had grown so fond of. Why did the Watcher want to create such a
weapon in the first place? I don't know or care anymore. All I cared about was the fear and hopelessness of the traveler, his
family, and his world. It was my theories that brought this upon them, it was all my fault. The traveler, though, did not blame me,
and I think that was the final sign that I had to do what I did.
I took the Teleforce back here. I took the death of existence back to my universe, where it belonged. I have betrayed all lifeforms
in this cosmos, I have betrayed our entire future.
I am not sorry, and I am not apologizing. I could not let my legacy be the destruction of a universe I was not even worthy of. It
seems I will in the end bring the equilibrium I desired, and it will be the end of our degenerate universe.
The Teleforce is locked away safely. I spend my long hours before the pond with the birds. They are so blissfully unaware of what
approaches, and that gives me just enough tranquility to tolerate my own existence.
A reversal of energy, of entropy, of time if reversing time was a simpler task, perhaps I could have stopped this from ever
happening and save our universe. No, I wouldn't have. I would have made our universe one worth saving.

is a DAMMERUNG class cognitohazard. All personnel, regardless of clearance, are forbidden to expose themselves to the Description of
this article under any circumstances. Do not tamper with this warning without DAMMERUNG clearance. Do not discuss the existence of
this article with any person. No disciplinary action will be necessary, provided you close this article now, and clear your browser
cache.
Atypical software measures have been used to mitigate the risk of accidental exposure. It is only by an unfortunate coincidence of
extremely low probability that you have stumbled across this entry at all. No disciplinary action will be necessary, provided you
close this article now, and clear your browser cache.
Since creation, only the Special Containment Procedures section of this record has ever been editable. Due to the clearance of the
file’s original author, and anomalous database limitations in effect, this record can neither be deleted nor effectively redacted.
Access restrictions cannot be applied to the data in any reliable way.
Of course, access restrictions can still be enforced. It is now too late to close this article. Do not discuss the existence of this
article with any person. Notify the Help Desk that your workstation has a DAMMERUNG contamination. Shut off your monitor, and seek
immediate amnestic treatment.
The following conditions shall constitute a breach:
Exposure to any part of the Description, however briefly

Failure to close this article within eighteen seconds of exposure without code-word clearance
Shut off your monitor now, notify the Breach Desk that you and your workstation have DAMMERUNG contamination. Await MTF processing.

Agent Instructions: the breach to which you are responding has already been mostly contained by an automated system, and containment
will be complete when you restart this terminal. However, your orders are to attempt to improve the current containment procedures by
any means possible, within the time allotted to you. You have been temporarily granted Administrative network access from this
terminal. Use any resources you deem necessary to fulfill your mission, but DO NOT expose yourself to the cognitohazard in the
Description. The following technical details will help you in your task:
As noted above, this article ignores the delete command; it cannot be extricated from the database without extensive collateral
corruption of other critical systems. Instead, the containment strategy is to minimize the probability of a user discovering this
entry by chance. To this end, an un-haltable mainframe process (ID 9000013) repeatedly switches the ordinal designation of this
article with that of another randomly selected entry. Normally, when two article numbers are exchanged for administrative purposes,
the two entries disappear from the index momentarily. A kernel exploit of Processor Erratum 23 allows us to delay completion of the
subroutine by deeply recursing the article renumbering with an intentionally terrible algorithm (currently Bubblesort Stoogesort
Bogosort) against a known corrupt stack in extended memory until the thread aborts catastrophically, the index swap completes, and the
process restarts. This artificially inserts a delay on the order of 1017 clock cycles between visibility, when a link to this article
becomes momentarily visible and accessible from the article index before the process repeats.
Breach will only occur in the unlikely event that a user with index privileges loads the main list at precisely the correct moment
and, despite need-to-know best practices, follows the link to this entry, ignores the warnings, and reads past the first paragraph.
The intervals between visibility are indeterminate but finite. On average, the interval will grow larger (by order O(n2)) as the
number of available articles grows, but shorter as the mainframe's hot-swappable processors increase in FLOPS.
This kludge has a gravely serious side effect: the SCP article randomly selected for the swap also disappears from the list for the
same period of time, until reappearing under a new ID. While O5 has authorized this detrimental effect as an acceptable consequence of
containment, you are ordered not to verify it through the chain of command, as no other living person is currently aware that this
article, this process, or this authorization exists. If validation is required, an inline O5 authorization of this order follows.

You are subject to summary termination by Trinitite-class memetic if you proceed past this point.
Editor’s note: I had to throw that killsprite together in a hurry. The one constructed and installed by my predecessor was clearly
defective – instead of the donkey kick I expected from a standard inoculation interdiction, I barely registered minor eyestrain. Of
course, under the circumstances I suppose we're limited, aren't we? To a contaminated workstation and barely adequate tools. Anyway,
if you survived that memetic, hopefully it’s because you have code-word clearance, and not because I didn't get it right either - in
that case you're probably boned pretty bad, and I apologize for not killing you in time.
But cut me some slack: when we looked them up ninety minutes ago, the only procedures for this code-word read “Randomly select one
mainframe-qualified coder from the Experimental Containment Research Group with Level 3 clearance. Supply the designee with a
Behemoth-class amnestic, and dispatch them to the affected terminal. They will find instructions there. If they fail to complete
their task within two hours, or if, upon return, they can remember the year or name the current U.S. President – terminate.” Guess
what? That's a pretty small subset of personnel to choose "randomly" from. Well, Spock smashes scissors, but Paper disproves Spock,
so now in return for containment duty, I get to blow a sizable chunk of my life out of my skull. At least I won't have to remember
them "processing" the looky-loo who caused this breach.
Assuming you're ECRG like me, you never heard of DAMMERUNG before today either. Here’s what I can tell you: from the look of the
source code and comments, you're probably the fourth or fifth to respond to this thing since inception. I made a couple of minor
edits to the documentation above, but mostly spent my time trying to slow the algorithm with the worst patterns I could think of. In
the end, I was only able to deoptimize the existing recursion by a factor of two. Unfortunately, I don’t know enough about the
underlying hardware or how often users follow unfamiliar links from the main list to guess how much difference that makes. I'm sure,
on first implementation, they thought they had five, maybe ten years between breaches, but I know for a fact that they've introduced
at least one quantum processor to the grid, which will deprecate this approach faster than you can say REDACTED. Hopefully you’ve
got a better idea for a slower algo than I or the last three did. Maybe upgrade to a Quantum Bogosort of the article numbers? On
this hardware, that might technically be an XK algorithm and therefore forbidden. I dunno. I’ve used up most of my time already, and
I can’t risk another recompile in the few minutes remaining before I have to commit these changes and wash down this stick of
dynamite with warm, backwashy Mountain Dew.

[BEGIN RECORDING]
<microphone tapping>
<chair sliding>
There you go, Ma’am. This interpreter is new technology, but it will allow you to forgo the use of a keyboard for article creation.
Just speak naturally into the microphone. We can go back and revise any errors after you have finished.
I don’t think so, young man. There won’t be time. This must also be a permanent record, access restricted to L-3s and up. Can you
prevent anyone from tampering with this entry later?
Um anyone, Ma’am?
Anyone and everyone. You understand me. If there is ever but one article left in the database, this had better be it.
Well I’m not senior enough to select the most appropriate technique to accomplish that. Maybe if we got Gephart involved -
I want you to make an executive decision. I’m confident in your ability. We cannot delay.
Okay, okay um, there is a mechanism I could take advantage of – it’s actually designed to protect against anomalous data corruption,
but it would have the effect you're looking for. If you’re certain, Ma’am, I could make this section of the article write-once, and
splice it into the database runtime. However, that means no editing whatsoever will be possible. If you misspeak, you’ll just have to
clarify and keep going.
Very well, do so. Fortunately, I am a world-class dictator.
For the degree of security you have in mind, Ma’am, I’ll need to borrow your credential token. Thank you. One moment, please.
<keyboard sounds>
There. That's done it.
You’ve been very helpful. That will be all. For your own safety, I am ordering you to obtain amnestic treatment as soon as possible,
enough to forget this entire morning. Do you understand?
I, uh, do.
Good. You will likely be subjected to enhanced interrogation within a day or two. It will go easier for you if you have no memory of
this.
Ohhh. Oh boy.
As a literal token of my gratitude for your loyalty, why don’t you hold on to those credentials? I won’t be needing them. If you act
quickly, I suspect you can think of a way to put them to good use before they are revoked and you are detained.
Y-yes, M-ma’am.
Now go. I foresee that you have a fine career ahead of you. We will not speak again.
Thank you, Ma’am. Goodbye.

My name is Miriam Prayther. I have been O5-7 for seventy-seven years.
I will remain so for perhaps seven minutes more, and that is not enough time to devise adequate Special Containment Procedures myself.
I leave that to you.
Over the course of my tenure, I have witnessed nineteen distinct anomalous methods to restore life. The devices and entities
responsible take vastly different forms, but when you look past the science, the magic, the razzle-dazzle: there are fundamentally two
broad, but simple categories: the first type is replication, whereby a clone, simulacrum, or other copy is made of the subject's mind
and body as it existed at some point during life. The second sort is temporal. With this approach the space-time paths of the
subject's constituent particles are reversed, and events literally undone, until the subject is restored to a functional state.
These two categories have a crucial commonality: the restored individual has no memory or experience of death. To put it another way:
despite 2.4 million years of hominid speculation, Foundation records contain no reliable first-hand testimony regarding what happens
to us after we die.
We have other sources of information, naturally. But in light of recent events, I believe that the SCPs we have interrogated on this
topic over the years are guilty of either ignorance or deceit.
For you see, we invented an exception.
Six months ago, we resurrected Roger Sheldon, formerly O5-11, with a novel procedure. The theoretical groundwork had existed for some
time, but for a litany of reasons: the complexity of the process, the technical skill required, the systemic risks, not to mention the
enormous cost - only direst need justified the attempt.
At seventy-three, Roger was the youngest Overseer when he died. He had two habits that were peculiar for an O5, only marginally
tolerated by the rest of us at the time, and now forbidden. The first was an obstinate refusal to fortify (as we call it) – to enhance
his longevity with the supplements available to those of our station. The second was a penchant for taking his holidays unannounced
and in utter solitude. When a stroke ended him eighteen years ago, he was perched on a rocky promontory above marine iguana nesting
grounds on Española Island.
It took fourteen years to find his remains. We would not have gone on looking for so long, but for two reasons: he kept on his person
a certain key – of which I shall not say more, except that it could not be allowed to stay lost; and that he held in his brain a
secret word, without which we could not replace him.
The alternating Galapagos rains and bright sun (and perhaps hawks) had reduced him to a moldering ruin of bone fragments and only the
stubbornest sinew. The recovery crew used brooms and bags to collect as much of him as remained. The artifact was retrieved, to our
relief, but we were still faced with the daunting task of extracting his shibboleth. With so little original material to work with,
none of the time-tested methods of recovery were feasible.
It distresses me to say so, but it is unlikely that any records of our methodology will survive the impending purge. Suffice to say
that having gathered his diaspora, we set out to reconstruct a quantum approximation of him - physically, chemically, electrically -
with sufficient accuracy that his heart would resume its beat, his synapses would fire, and his mouth would move, if briefly.
As we required but one iota of information from him, we hoped, at best, that he would survive long enough to provide it, and then
simply expire again. However, as is so often the case, we outdid ourselves. All the king's horses and all the king's men could indeed
put him back together again.
Roger was perfectly reanimated. He emerged from his - cocoon - looking a bit younger and healthier than my last memories of him. He
sobbed uncontrollably for some time, unresponsive to any stimulus, yet after about half an hour he relaxed, his expression suddenly
turned to utter serenity, and he spoke two unintelligible, but clearly joyous words. He was swiftly interrogated, but he responded to
our questioning with candor, enthusiasm, and an unmistakable relief. We kept him under quarantine in a containment unit for thirty
days. He offered no objection, and cooperated completely. He behaved as any of us might under the circumstances, and in the end, after
some light debate, we unanimously restored him to office. We were the ones who'd remade him, after all, and wouldn't each of us expect
the same? He rewarded our hubris by resuming his duties with an inspired vigor, consistently displaying deeper insight and wisdom than
ever before.
In particular, we welcomed some of the changes to his habits. As soon as the rest of us allowed it, he began regular fortification
treatments for the first time. He appointed a sensible entourage of medical staff and bodyguards that were never far from his person.
Previously, empathy for his fellow man had never been his strong suit, yet suddenly he displayed renewed interest in the safety of our
containment protocols, the healthcare benefits of Foundation employees, and a profound distaste for the sacrifice of D-Class. Under
the circumstances, none of this struck us as particularly alarming behavior.
But it should have.
He had concealed the crux of it from us all, you see. At first. Naturally, in our initial interrogation, we'd asked him if he'd had
any experience or memory of the afterlife. He claimed to recall nothing - exactly as everyone always does - and defeated our
polygraphs completely.
<drinking sounds>
He approached me first, about two months ago. He asked if, in his absence, we'd obtained any pieces - which I shouldn't have to point
out is not our term of art - capable of sustaining life indefinitely.
While breathtaking longevity is now within our power, it may surprise you to learn that immortality is not; and our best theoreticians
have recently posited that it will never be attainable. The resurrections we can accomplish, even his, cannot be repeated more than
once or twice. Sapient life is necessarily intertwined with quantum uncertainty. Localize a particle with perfect precision, and it
attains infinitely uncertain momentum, lost in an instant. Just so, the longer, and the more tightly a consciousness is bound to a
specific vessel, the more likely it will scatter irretrievably on its own. Regardless of science, magic, or razzle-dazzle: you, your
children, and your great-great-grandchildren will one day most assuredly die and stay dead. His disappointment at this theorem was
palpable, and I experienced a moment of discomfort at his reaction.
Not a week later O5-2 received word of a severe breach of protocol. Roger, or rather O5-11, had initiated direct contact with an APE
in containment. For you L-3s, APE skips are Apex-tier Pluripotent Entities. I imagine you can work out the euphemism.
We kept our initial investigation off the books. He'd been clever in covering his tracks - there was no breach alarm, no record of the
encounter in any log - but one of the skip's guards failed a random amnestic test (to his dismay), and that was trail enough on which
to set our bloodhounds.
We couldn't prove it, but we imagined he risked exposure to the skip to offer some kind of deal. This could not stand. As two of his
oldest comrades, today O5-2 and I confronted him privately. But he caught us off guard, for he confessed everything, and begged us for
help. I surreptitiously recorded his pleas as a precaution; it is easiest if I simply replay it for you now.
<device clicks>
"I dared not speak of this at first. You'd never have let me out of containment. The truth is, I was aware of all of it. I suppose
there was a sweet oblivion, like deep sleep, at first; but in retrospect, I think it was no more than a day. Slowly, but unmistakably,
I reoccupied my corpse with dreamlike consciousness: numb for the first merciful hours, blind, deaf, and immobile, but then I seemed
to reconnect to every nerve, and became aware of every sensation - moreso than I ever was in life. I perceived myself trapped within
an immovable object, and the intensity of the struggle amplified: subtle, then acute, then racking. I cannot describe it completely -
but imagine holding your breath, beyond urge, beyond pain, beyond desperation - head throbbing and eyes bulging - a dream of
suffocation without end.
"My skin blistered and split in the sunlight; biting insects descended rapidly. I felt eggs hatch, larvae crawl, gases build and burst
within me, individual cells rupturing, interstitial fluids souring and blackening. Somehow my capacity to experience and store these
sensations grew - even as I was keenly aware of my cerebrum being scattered and devoured, my perception expanded, into the gizzards of
birds and the depths of fire ant dens. I was aware of every fingernail and strand of hair that pulled away in the wind - and my
sensation clung to them as they settled in the ocean and dissolved in the maws of a trillion diatoms.
"I don't understand it. The more bits of me there were, the larger my capacity for the perception of pain. As I decayed into pieces
smaller than living nerves could possibly distinguish, the character of the discomfort changed - from burning and aching and breaking
I might relate to you in human terms - to something worse that I cannot fully articulate: a terrible, maddening stretching of every
part of myself from every other part. Humans often numb to chronic pains in life, do they not? Yet every year, every month, every
second that passed - I swear it only intensified over time.
"In my previous life, I ruminated on Heaven and Hell, and the likelihood of my experiencing one, the other, or something in between.
As terrible as I imagined the torpor of Heaven or the torments of Hell to be, this was entirely different from either. In Hell, at
least, there would surely be a tormentor, some memory of my deeds, some sense of justice, even if my soul rejected its logic. I can
imagine some comfort in Hell, for a mind such as mine.
"I do not think this is a punishment. I do not think it is caused. I deeply suspect it is simply our condition, our nature to go on
this way, do you see? In all that time, I was certainly, absolutely, totally alone, and before long all memory of life had shriveled
to a cinder, lost beneath my interminable anguish. Alive again, I suspect I cannot quite recall the worst of it - as if my living
brain is too small for the experience.
"As Overseers, we witness, inflict, or endure great suffering. Yet what awaits us all is worse, the way an earache is worse than a bee
sting, the way frostbite is worse than a burn. I was dead for eighteen years, and my misery eludes description. Dare we try to fathom
the collective agony of legions of ancient dead?
"Believe this: I will not return to that execrable existence. Not a hundred years from now, not ever. Yes, I approached Ahriman for
help. I am sure he could extend us all, if he wished. I offered him great concessions from the Foundation, even, perhaps, release. But
he laughed, and refused. Yet I - I can think of others willing to trade on a smaller scale, though the price may be nearly as - no.
Nothing compares. Anything is better, so long as it is forever.
"Do you believe me? Will you join me, and together, escape this fate? Please!"
<device clicks>
We were dumbfounded. And suddenly: sympathetic. And an instant later: fearful. I can't remember the last time I felt my heart race so.
But we do not operate in a vacuum. A revelation of this magnitude must be brought before the Council for consideration. He was loath
to admit his deception before the assembled Council, but he was clearly desperate for action as well. We prevailed upon him to call an
immediate emergency session in teleconference. I knew anything less would constitute treachery. Still, as the three of us hurried to
conference room Alpha, I suddenly found myself harboring subtle thoughts of -
<throat clearing>
And so he gave his testimony again - nearly as frank and purply prosaic as before. But the debate that unfolded in the wake of it? I
have never witnessed anything like it.
There were mostly skeptical voices at first: calm, concerned, and thoughtful. However, O5-8, whose face had grown increasingly pale as
she listened to him, was suddenly a passionate advocate for action.
"We must declare human death a Keter SCP," she demanded, "and contain it at any cost."
That absurdity garnered an uproar, of course. But Roger had himself a sure ally now, and this spurred him on, shouting over the others
to add even darker details of the intensity of his perennial excruciation. Imagery I cannot repeat. Sensations I must not contemplate.
<brief coughing>
I'm feeling lightheaded.
O5-2, always a moderate influence, suggested we recess and collect ourselves, but then -3 suddenly moved that we order the immediate
systematic termination of dangerous skips, to better protect ourselves and others. O5-6 seconded, but before it could be put to a
vote, -13 suddenly clutched his chest in paroxysmal panic and was being evaluated by his medical technician when his feed abruptly cut
out. As the fracas came to a boil, it was -10, I think, who was next convinced. Oh! Is belief the key? I —
I —
It
doesn't matter.
<heavy breathing>
At any rate -10 started pounding his shoe on the table and hollering that we must dig a channel from the Astrakhan spring to the
Mediterranean Sea, to fortify all of mankind.
That was enough. Suddenly, O5-1 muted us all, and stood, red faced and shaking.
"Regardless of the truth of O5-11's experience," she said, "it is plain that we have lost all reason. There is only one possible
explanation for this. Therefore I am declaring Emergency Protocol 17. Remain where you are; we shall all be administered class A
amnestics. Except you, Roger. We made a grave error releasing you from containment, and it will be corrected."
She pointed at her administrative assistant to act, but before he could lock down the conference room from which -2, -11 and I were
dialed in, Roger had already bolted out the door. I was after him in an instant, and nearly crushed by the bulkhead as it slammed into
place. I only wanted to stop him - I think - and now I was outside the safe room too - but he was already out of sight.
Superlative Idiot! They couldn't see me, couldn't hear me, they couldn't know that I wanted back in, how badly I wanted to breathe the
red gas that was surely already streaming into the room on the other side. One instant of poor judgment, and my fate is sealed. And
now that I know what's in store -
What was left to do? I ran to the Help Desk.
<abrupt laughter>
Help enough, eh? For this, my final act.
I love the Foundation as I would have loved a daughter. I do this for the security and protection of mankind. And so I beg you: this —
gnosis — must not be erased, forgotten. That is not containment. That is madness.
Bring us back. Get us out.
<sobbing>
I'm so frightened. What's wrong with me? I —
<door bursting open>

<automatic gunfire from three distinct sources>
Clear!
Clear!
Clear. God damn this job. Bag that Oscar quickly, Sergeant. We still have one to go.
<site breach alarm sounds>
What now? Specialist, talk to me.
Sir! I'm getting a report of a Keter breach in the AR-II compound.
Aw, Hell! Two rogue Oscars, and on top of it now the Old Man is on the loose? This is a shit sandwich, Sir!
Contain that chatter, Sergeant.
Stand by, Sir. Negative on one-zero-six escaping, Sir. I'm getting details - say again, please - it's the other way 'round. The other
Oscar, he went — in, Sir. He went in.
The Hell he did!
They have visual confirmation, Sir. Procedures dictate we treat him —
As KIA, Specialist, I know. Let's finish here, then.
Sir? This Oscar had recording equipment here. It's still running.
For the love of — shut it down, Sergeant! SHUT IT DOWN NOW! Specialist, get an audio hazard team down here on the doub—

Original Version
The following file describes a currently unknown and potentially dangerous reality-altering hazard, and is Level 3/2740 classified.
2740
Item #: SCP-2740
Site Responsible: USINBL Site-81
Director: J. Karlyle Aktus
Research Head: Kyle Dorsett
Assigned Task Force: N/A
Level 3/2740
CLASSIFIED
Image recovered from family camcorder, believed to be the interior of the Lee family
attic. Date impossible to determine.
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of SCP-2740, any means of direct containment are currently unfeasible. Access to
. St, , IN is forbidden, and is to be enforced by Foundation security personnel. Cover story Delta-4B "Gas Leak" is to
be disseminated in , IN.
Standard cognitohazardous object amnestic treatment is available to all personnel assigned to SCP-2740.
, IN, US.
Description: The nature, appearance, and potential existence of SCP-2740 is uncertain. SCP-2740 is believed to possibly exist in the
northwest corner of the attic in the home of the Lee family at . St, , IN, a location roughly 6m from the ladder leading
to it.
Individuals attempting to approach the ladder leading to the attic will find themselves unable to do so; while individuals can
approach the ladder and, in certain cases, even begin to climb it, upon further inspection it will always be discovered that these
individuals did not in actuality do so. The reason for this is currently unknown; additionally, it is uncertain if this effect exists
at all. Research into this phenomenon is ongoing.
The only information gathered regarding SCP-2740 has been done so through interviews with affected individuals. SCP-2740 appears to
instill a sense of intense dread in any individual cognizant of it, although the reason for this is unknown. This effect begins upon
entering the house at . St, or by becoming cognizant of SCP-2740 through discussion with other individuals affected by its
anomalous nature.
Interview 2740-A: Franklin Lee
Access Interview Access Granted
The following interview was conducted after the discovery of SCP-2740 with Franklin Lee, the owner of the home at ████ █. ██ St and
patriarch of the Lee family.
Interviewer: Dr. K. Dorsett
Interviewee: Franklin Lee
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Dorsett: When did you begin to notice something was wrong?
Franklin Lee: Maybe I don't know, it was years ago. It wasn't always like this, though. In the beginning it was just something, you
know, you could ignore it. I remember there would be times I would walk down the hall upstairs and just- just glance at it, and get
this feeling.
Dr. Dorsett: Can you describe the feeling?
Franklin Lee: Like there was something up there. Not that I could see it or anything, and we didn't hear anything either. The mood
in the house changed, and we thought it was because she- I no, it wasn't that.
Dr. Dorsett: Mr. Lee? Who do you mean, she?
Franklin Lee: Our oldest daughter, Olivia. She left when she was seventeen, and there were some other things going on then, we were
going through some hard times. Olivia left to go live with my wife's sister, we haven't talked to her in years. I think I don't
know, maybe we did start to notice it then.
Dr. Dorsett: What did you originally notice?
Franklin Lee: The quiet, everything was real quiet. Didn't sound like a house with three other kids, you know, but I don't know, it
just built up over time, right? And after a while I decided I needed to know, I needed to find out what was up there, what she had
left-
Dr. Dorsett: Mr. Lee?
Franklin Lee: I tried, I can't tell you how many times I've tried. I'll begin climbing, and open my eyes, and I'll be back in bed,
or in the living room by the tv, and the feeling never goes away. I quit my job, I couldn't handle the stress. I couldn't explain it
to anyone, everybody thought I was crazy, but there were a few times I contemplated knocking the whole house down, I even signed
the papers once, but then I called back and the company didn't exist anymore.
Dr. Dorsett: Why didn't you move?
Franklin Lee: You don't think we tried? It was like climbing that ladder; you get halfway up, you push open the door, and you can
feel it, but then then you're sitting at the kitchen table.
[END LOG]
Following this interview, Mr. Lee and his family were moved to Site-81 for holding and examination, with release pending further study
of their mental condition The Lee family has not been moved to Site-81. Information claiming otherwise has been proven inaccurate.
Research into this is ongoing.
Interview 2740-B: Yvette Lee
The following interview was conducted after the discovery of SCP-2740 with Yvette Lee, the co-owner of the home at ████ █. ██ St and
matriarch of the Lee family.
Interviewer: Dr. K. Dorsett
Interviewee: Yvette Lee
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Dorsett: Mrs. Lee, can you tell me anything about why your husband wasn't able to articulate any details about SCP-2740?
Yvette Lee: Have you not been in the house, Dr. Dorsett?
Dr. Dorsett: I have not, my station has been here in our mobile facili-
Yvette Lee: Then you can't understand. We've lived there for twenty years, and we can't even we can't do anything about it either.
We've tried everything, but nothing works.
Dr. Dorsett: We have reason to believe that you have entered the attic[1] on / / . Can you confirm this?
1. This information was gathered after discussions with the three young Lee children, each of whom referred to an event where their mother entered the attic,
stayed for several minutes, and then descended. No other information was recovered regarding this event.
Yvette Lee: I- no, of course not, I-
Dr. Dorsett: Mrs. Lee, this will be much easier if you can be honest with us.
Yvette Lee: My husband and I, we've been good parents, but we fought with Olivia over so many things, things that seem
inconsequential now, but it drove a wedge between us, and we all knew there was something festering in that space. She couldn't
admit the mistakes that she had made. When she left, I could still feel the wedge, like it never went away. One night I woke up and
heard her, and went to the ladder and climbed up into it, and
Dr. Dorsett: And?

Yvette Lee: I don't know. It wasn't Olivia.
[END LOG]
Incident Log 2740-A: After interviews with Mr. and Mrs. Lee and their children, and with neighbors also affected by SCP-2740, all of
whom were certain of the existence of SCP-2740 but uncertain of any other details, several attempts were made to penetrate the attic,
both manned and unmanned. In all cases, further investigation revealed that no attempts were actually made, regardless of the claims
made by involved personnel stating otherwise.
These attempts may have included direct access through the second floor attic ladder, shaped charges situated at various points on the
second floor ceiling, drone access through the ladder opening, manned and unmanned access by cutting through the roof, and complete
leveling of the home. As stated above, no records exist that any of these methods were actually attempted.
Interview Log 2740-C: Olivia Lee
The following interview was taken after the eldest daughter of the Lee family, Olivia, was located in █████████, ██, working as a
landscape contractor after changing her name to Rebecca Feldman.
Interviewer: Dr. H. Garrett
Interviewee: Rebecca Feldman (a.k.a. Olivia Lee)
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Garrett: Ms. Feldman, what I want to discuss with you is a phenomenon associated with your parents home, likely located in the
upstairs-
Ms. Feldman: The attic, I know. I thought somebody would come after me about that, I just didn't think it would be so soon.
Dr. Garrett: Are you saying you're aware of this phenomenon?
Ms. Feldman: I left my parents when I was a kid, Dr. Garrett. We we had always fought. They weren't happy with the choices I had
made, the things I believed in, the people I spent time with. There was anger there, so much anger I thought it might suffocate me.
When I left, I felt like I could breathe again. I never went back after that, but sometimes, I can still feel it. You know how you
feel when you're dreaming, and you're trying to run from something but you can't see it and you don't know if it's really there, but
you run anyway? That's how it feels.
Dr. Garrett: What prompted you to leave your parents?
Ms. Feldman: There was one night, we had a fight, and my dad was drinking and mom was even worse off at that point, and I had kept
a knife under my pillow for a long time, in case something would happen, and they came into my room that night, I don't know what
their intentions were, but I drew it and backed them into the wall. The whole thing felt like I was being choked, and that was the
first time I heard it, something moving above me. I dropped the knife and ran, and I didn't look back.
Dr. Garrett: Do you do you know anything about what is in the attic, Ms. Feldman?
Ms. Feldman: There are always secrets, doctor. There's only so much that hate can build up in a place before it starts hating you
back I don't know what's in the attic, or if there's anything up there at all, and I don't think I want to.
[END LOG]
At the conclusion of this interview, Ms. Feldman was detained by Foundation personnel, pending further investigation of her claims.
Currently, it is believed that Olivia Lee does not exist, nor has ever existed. The information in Interview Log 2740-C is undergoing
further examination.

SCP-2782
The Flock
By: faminepulse
Rating: 109
Wilson Score: 0.84
Original Version
Item #: SCP-2782
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: The entrance and a perimeter of SCP-2782 are to be monitored at all times. Although SCP-2782 has not
yet proven itself to be outwardly hostile, the door to the room should be guarded by at least two armed personnel at all times.
Supplement: Niwareka Research Facility hide block
Niwareka is the remains of a scientific compound located on Island, New Zealand. The area was originally used as a breeding
ground for Kakapo. The facility was acquired by an unknown party and reproductive experiments were run on the birds; the goal of these
experiments is not currently known.
Materials recovered from the facility were SCP-2782, the remains of incubation equipment for rodents and parrots, as well as a hard
drive containing writings believed to be relevant to the experiments.
Records indicate testing was originally carried out on rodents, followed by kakapo, and ultimately humans; none of which have been
recovered. Only one human subject was reported to have been produced from the experiment.
An entrance to an expanse below the facility was discovered buried three meters under the building’s foundations, flooded and welded
shut behind an iron hatch. The chamber was located 9 meters underneath the facility and contained SCP-2782. Imprints over the chamber
door read “jedna deväť osem d” (one nine eight d).
Description: SCP-2782 is the designation for the skeletal remains of 28 kakapo chicks discovered in a partially flooded chamber
beneath the Niwareka research facility. Fractures and burns on the skeletons evince the objects were crushed with sudden blunt force
and incinerated. The remains retain their original structure and physical composition despite damage. The skeletons are at times
ambulatory and capable of vocalizations.
SCP-2782-1 through SCP-2782-28 “reset” at 10:55 PM (NZST) to their original positions within the chamber even under circumstances
where the objects are damaged or located elsewhere. SCP-2782 will move if their resting positions are obstructed.
SCP-2782 are sentient and capable of altering matter within the chamber. SCP-2782 moved outside of the chamber are still capable of
manipulating matter inside of the chamber. The objects have not been shown to be capable of altering anything outside of the perimeter
of the chamber; there is no discernible material, failsafe, or external force that propagates this effect.
SCP-2782 will commit to the act of completely consuming the flesh of incapacitated or otherwise deceased subjects within the chamber;
matter is discarded immediately due to their lack of digestive systems.
Entities consumed inside of the chamber will reappear inside of the chamber three days later. Discarded matter from previous
"feedings" remains and is not affected by resets of the SCP-2782 chamber.
SCP-2782-X was the tentative designation for eight men who were subject to the effects of SCP-2782 from 1996 to present. The men
themselves are anomalous by proxy of SCP-2782. Further information on the subjects can be found in the provided Addenda.
Addendum A | Notes Close Addendum A
11 August 19██ AD | Testing Subject is one of our Humanized PIGGY laboratory mice. I will call her Sarah. Sarah is generation eight,
but results are finally visible. Sarah is extremely clever and appears to be self aware. I will keep Sarah as a personal pet for 6
months to see if the desired traits were visible. If they are then we were being led in the right direction. We celebrate Sarah. I
will bury her.
23 September 19██ AD | Testing Subject is one PIGGY Syrian Hamster from batch K160 [PK1279923]. His influence is not quite apparent.
Corners of the room were transformed into vague, fanged mouths which disappeared once the subject was in hiding. The objects appeared
again when the subject peeked out from hiding, but over time disappeared. We picked this up on the security camera - the assistant and
I were both hiding. We think the subject may have been spooked by shadows, what we saw may have been the idea of a predator. We need
to remove fear from the PIGGYs.
30 January 19██ AD | Testing Subject was one Syrian Hamster-AH-32. His influence is clearly visible. Fear response was removed
completely. Bold, but not stupid. Very preoccupied with food, as was desired. Made a mess of the proving grounds, but the stink of
fish is sweet in this case. We will soon see if He is in the litter as well.
15 April 19██ AD | The required traits have been passed on successfully. I have saved one of the babies. I will name the wretched
little thing Wormwood. The remainder of our PIGGYs from Phase One have been euthanised. I will release him into the wilderness as an
offering of Humility. May he die fat and happy. Hallelujah!
We have infiltrated their facility. We didn’t want to use the parrots but the isolation here and the already active breeding program
is perfect for us. Chris is also respected by the administrator of the project, and we’ll see about replacing him as well so things
aren’t so tricky. Many birds will be created for our experiments. The controls will be released to the proper authorities for the
repopulation project. Our “cuckoos” will be incinerated, something.
15 February 19██ | The birds are becoming dangerous. They dislike us. His abilities are apparent. Desired, but muddled. They are
different from the hamsters in that they are not motivated by food, but rather sex. That’s the right track.
This is great news for the conservationists, but currently it’s not great news for us. Especially Daniel. Daniel is no longer with us.
The Lord helps those who help themselves. That is the motto of our mission.
I don’t know anything about science, or DNA for that matter. Chris and his colleagues handle all of that. I’m just a man who is
faithful to his father and his mission, and I believe his mission is divine and blessed by the Lord.
I believe a man walked the Earth almost two thousand years ago, but I also believe he was more than a man. I believe the Lord uses the
laws within the confines of his own universe to perform his miracles, and I believe it is our duty to understand those laws.
While I may seem biased as Ezekiel’s son, I’ve seen the results of his early experiments. The Lord worked through my father and
provided for him. He has a machine that can transmute water, and I’ve seen him use a salve that cured a man’s blindness. That’s enough
for me.
But my father seems unhappy, even though he and he alone performs this Science. Even his colleagues don’t completely understand his
works. We think maybe he’s going senile
Or maybe he doesn’t have what he wants? He wouldn’t admit to that. I worry sometimes he wants the Begotten for himself. His own son. I
sin just thinking this.
I take solace in that when the Lord returns, my worry will be put to rest.
-Daniel
10 March 19██ | We have indirectly discovered our solution for transferring the strain to human subjects. One of these egg contains a
human embryo It seems Daniel is indeed still with us. Truly a miracle. Daniel is a martyr if there ever was one. Everything that
happened that day was dignified. Praise the Lord.
The birds are extremely holy. I can hardly understand their faces anymore. Are they of Christ? Or are they simply his cherubim?
11 March 19██ | Elijah is at rest. I hope he’s dead. We’re destroying the rest of the eggs before they hatch, but we’re going to be
more careful this time.
We’re being besieged by the devil. The foul births would be an abomination, it’s true, and it was not our intention, but such is the
nature of the things. We should know it is not God’s will that a human should hatch. This is wrong. Ezekiel proclaims that he will
castrate himself and ask the Lord for forgiveness.
The produce will instead be extracted from the shell of Daniel's egg.
We can’t wait for these things to come to term. His image was not meant for them. His grace they cannot know his grace. Animals do
not have souls. What would we make of an animal messiah? I laugh, but
Transcript of Security Camera Footage
10:30:01 Three men wearing orange jumpsuits enter a room. Each man is pushing a wheelbarrow. The room is lined with incubators for
large eggs.
10:32:22 The men begin gently placing the eggs in the wheelbarrows. The men are moving quietly. They do not communicate verbally and
instead use hand gestures.
10:39:01 28 eggs have been placed into the wheelbarrows. The men cart the wheelbarrows out of the room.
10:42:42 Three men with wheelbarrows filled with eggs enter a room on the basement floor of the facility. In the center of the room
is an elevator shaft.
10:42:55 Five plainly dressed men enter the room. Four men are holding sledgehammers. One man is holding a jug that is assumed to
contain gasoline.
10:44:02 All eight men board the elevator in tow with the eggs.
10:46:01 Elevator descends. One man shouts as the elevator shifts.
10:47:23 A bearded, heavyset man in a yellow robe enters the room and inserts a key into the console near the elevator shaft.
10:47:23 The man exits the room. Lights in the area power off.
I have Daniel in this vessel. I will extract from him the Essence of Grain so that it may offered to a righteous woman. I will offer
Daniel to the LORD. My Burnt Offering. I will bring with me progenitors of Daniel. Offerings of Fellowship. Green doves. The DNA of
Mary. Christian Plasma. My son will have the gifts of the Begotten and we will have Parousia.
The Lord helps those who help themselves. Prepare for the Advent.
Sing for the Advent!

Selected Transcripts of Recovered Footage 03/13/1996-03/28/2013. Each transcript begins at 10:55 NZST.
03/13/19██: The door to the elevator shaft opens and eight men enter into a hallway. Four of the men are carrying sledgehammers, one
man is carrying a tank of gasoline. Three men cart wheelbarrows in front of the others toward a heavy iron door.
The men enter into a large, empty chamber with cement walls. There is a rope lamp hanging from the center of the room. The men begin
unloading the eggs onto the ground in two parallel lines of fourteen. A man pours gasoline down each line, and four men stand readied
with sledgehammers over four separate eggs. The men hoist the sledgehammers, attempting to crush the eggs. Video feed ends immediately
after the hammers make contact with the shells.
03/14/19██: Twenty-eight skeletal chicks (SCP-2782) stand in two parallel rows of fourteen, motionless, for twenty-four hours.
03/15/19██: The chamber has been partially flooded with an estimated 2 meters of water. SCP-2782 appear on the floor, and slowly float
upwards. Each chick flaps in unison and breaches the surface of the water, landing their feet on the surface and remaining motionless.
This process is repeated every day.
03/16/19██: Eight men appear in the water and breach the surface. The men are in a panic and screaming. SCP-2782 remain motionless.
The men attempt to open the door but cannot. One man attempts to swing a sledgehammer underwater. This is not effective. This behavior
continues for three hours.
Men huddle, hanging on the rope lamp to conserve energy. They discuss their situation and are confused by the presence of SCP-2782.
Five men claim to be maintenance technicians while the other three are security guards. They seem to be unaware of the nature of SCP-
2782 or any unusual activity in the facility leading up to this point.
One man interacts with SCP-2782-12, the twelfth chick in the first row on the north side of the room. SCP-2782-12 remains idle during
interactions.
No other notable events.
03/18/19██: Men in the room complain of shortness of breath. By the end of the cycle five men are breathing heavily.
Light begins to flicker.
03/19/19██: The men are suffocating. One man succumbs and floats in the water.
SCP-2782 converge on the incapacitated man and begin picking at him. Emancipated biological matter is not digested and floats freely
through the room. This process lasts seven hours until only bone remains on the subject.
This is repeated for each individual. By the end of the cycle all men are deceased and destroyed.
03/20/19██-03/21/19██: No notable activity. Light begins to dim.
03/21/19██: Eight men appear in the water and breach the surface. They are screaming and in a panic. The men begin to suffocate and
succumb in 10 minutes.
The birds converge on the incapacitated men and consume them.
No other notable activity. Lights in the room are no longer active.

Addendum C | Interviews Close Addendum C
The door to SCP-2782 was breached on 05/01/20 and drained of water. The area was completely filled with densely compacted bones and
clothing. Eight surviving men were discovered. SCP-2782 were in resting positions.
The men were removed from the chamber by MTF and moved to a nearby intermediate facility. The following is an interview with one
individual, SCP-2782-X2. The individual seemed to only be partially capable of human speech, and does not seem to understand what he
is saying. He is believed to be in a persistent state of stupor due to traumatic stress. The other men share a similar condition.
Researcher Sanders: Hello.
SCP-2782-X2: Emandaraba kataer lataen boom yo shupolemos

Subject is hunched over and muttering.
Researcher Sanders: Sorry, please slow down.

Subject nods.
Subject is given a paper and a pencil. Subject looks up, grabs the pencil and begins drawing.
The drawing appears to be random scribbling almost covering the paper.
Researcher Sanders: What is this? Can you write in English?
Subject writes on the back of the paper.
The writing is a longhand English script reading "ADONAI"
Researcher Sanders: Is there something you'd like to tell us? Would you like to leave?
Subject continues writing the word "ADONAI" at increasing speeds, then grabs the pencil with both hands and thrusts it into his
temple.
Researcher Sanders clears her throat.
Researcher Sanders is escorted out of the room.
Subject is monitored until he expires from blood loss.
05/04/2014: SCP-2782-X2 does not resurrect within the chamber. Assumed to be neutralized and free of SCP-2782's effect.
Addendum D | Tests Close Addendum D
05/08/2014
Animals were introduced into the testing area. SCP-2782 will ignore all deceased subjects save for humans. SCP-2782 has ignored all
but one D-Class subject introduced to it, D-0548. Subject was a Hispanic male charged with the murder of three people.
Researcher Sanders: Tell us a little about yourself. What were you in for?
D-0548: Oh. I think you know. A blind man committed a triple homicide. Why do you ask? I assume it's a rhetorical question.
Researcher Sanders: You claim you didn't kill those people.
D-0548: You're on to something. I might have done it. I got up twice to pee twice that night and I like to make a game of stumbling
around in the hallway. Anything could have happened.
Researcher Sanders: Thank you. You'll be released after this test.
D-0548 appears incredulous.
Subject is led into the chamber by guards. Subject is asked to turn around. The guard terminates D-0548 via bolt, then exits the
room. D-0548 is consumed by SCP-2782.
05/11/20██
D-0548 reappears in the center of the room in a fetal position. Subject remains motionless for six seconds.
SCP-2782 turn to D-0548 and move toward him. SCP-2782 jump up and down on D-0548 until he starts moving, then return to their
original positions.
D-0548 quickly rises to his feet and surveys the area.
D-0548: What the fuck? What the fuck?
D-0548 feels the back of his head. Subject lightly strokes his eyes.
D-0548: fuck is this? Who the fuck are you people? I was fucking innocent! What is this?
D-0548 begins pacing and sobbing. Notices SCP-2782 and begins stomping them.
D-0548: Fuck these things! I swear to fucking god!
Runs to open the door and fails. D-0548 shouts. D-0548 turns around and continues stomping SCP-2782 instances. SCP-2782 appears
indifferent. One instance appears to be 'cleaning its feathers'.
D-0548: This is a dream. I can only see in my dreams! (laughs) I'm dreaming!
Subject bangs his head on the wall with extreme force. Subject is unconscious.
SCP-2782 do not appear interested in D-0548. One instance of SCP-2782 side steps away from the subject.
Researcher's Notes
As of now we know that D-0548 was innocent. We think SCP-2782 will ignore subjects it does not consider "good" in one way or another.
We are not sure why he was not resurrected by SCP-2782, but it may be due to his behavior shortly after his resurrection. You may
notice a subject on page 46 [NEED TO KNOW] of the testing logs - one of our own - while having a completely clean record was also
ignored by the birds.
UPDATED REVISION: 05/20/20██

After an extended period of inactivity, the chamber containing SCP-2782 spontaneously manifested 52,561 fish. SCP-2782 appears
ambivalent. Reasons for these manifestations are currently unknown.

Site-42
Assigning this one the designation SCP-246 if there are no objections.- Russo Jr.
That was taken yesterday. Just put it in an unused slot until we can figure out how to make a formal designation stick.- Russo Sr.
The old title changes every time the page is refreshed. I assume it has something to do with the way this affects information?-
Kingham
Yes. This should serve as an example of the anomaly's properties. I recommend leaving this intact, since it's basically harmless.-
Scranton
No objection.- Russo Sr.
Two days later and we're still out a designation. Let's just use an informal designator so the report doesn't have to use "the item"
and "the anomaly" to death.- Russo Jr.
How about "Di Molte Voci"? Italian for "out of many voices".- Grimes
Fine by me, unless someone who's actually fluent in Italian can improve it.- Russo Jr.
Not assigning an object class. It's not going to stay put, and the database search will probably choke on it somehow.- Russo Sr.
In lieu of an object class: Di Molte Voci makes documentation a huge pain, as you can tell, but preventing the spread of its
anomalous effect has been pretty doable. Stay on your toes until we figure out exactly what it can and can't do, though.- Benvenisty
The database search already excludes infohazards, so you don't need to worry about that.- Rosen
For the Voci itself, I see no reason a standard lockbox wouldn't work. Should definitely stay at Site-82, since transport risks
incidental contamination.- Kingham
A few of that site's lockboxes are password-locked. I'm not seeing anything to suggest it would affect those, but keeping it under
literal lock and key seems like a prudent precaution nonetheless.- Benvenisty
Anything keyed to specific phrases, numbers, etc. could be unreliable if the anomaly goes off-script. That should be the guiding
containment principle.- Graff
What about retinal scanners? Site-82's bulk storage is behind one, and without those or ID badges we'd be pretty low on effective
security options. The site has a strict "don't rely on facial recognition" policy, and I don't really want to know why.-
Benvenisty
Retinal scans are almost definitely fine. Just remember to CC me on ANY bug reports in that system.- Graff
Besides the non-reliance on keyphrases and formal signifiers, containment should basically entail a soft quarantine on any affected
documentation and site-wide Class-3G amnestics every few weeks.- Scranton
Either you just suggested moving all of the documentation to the temporary holding cells and posting guards only on the outside of
the wing, or our fields have very different understandings of the phrase 'soft quarantine'.- Kingham
I see why you'd be confused. As far as memetics and infohazards go, a soft quarantine would permit limited information
transmission, but cross-linking affected documentation to anything else would be kept to an absolute minimum, and properly
conditioned personnel (i.e. everyone with enough clearance for this entry anyways, except Rosen, but I doubt he read enough for it
to matter) are the only ones who can come within two layers. There's a whole protocol about it, but I can't exactly leave a link
here.- Graff
Hold on, 3Gs aren't standard for this type of infohazard. Scranton, elaborate?- Graff
Did you read my work on infospatial desynchronization and lingchi memeplexes? My last paper discusses how these phenomena can mimic
an area-of-effect, and it seems like that could be going on here. With an AoE this big, we can't afford not to try.- Scranton
I reread the paper and I agree. 3Gs for the whole site, twice per month.- Graff
Anomaly-centric or item-centric description? Ease of reading would normally dictate item-centric, but given the circumstances, I feel
that the anomaly should get a thorough description first.- Grimes
Item-centric is fine.- Russo Jr.
I'll get to work.- Grimes
Di Molte Voci is a harlequin mask made of carnival glass. Actually, hold on — that rhymes. HAR-le-quin MASK-made-of CAR-ni-val GLASS.
Could that be relevant?- Grimes
Doubtful — rhyme-sensitive anomalies usually manifest differently — and an English rhyme would be bizarre in this case — but I would
not rule it out. Good eye, Grimes.- Graff
The lab didn't find anything unusual, except traces of oil on the inside, which suggests it's been worn. Hard to say when, though.-
Garcia
The central anomaly involves the disruption of certain information, randomizing some pieces and replacing others with whatever
discussions went into it.- Grimes
Seems to me that it's specifically affecting consensus-based information (like standard anomaly summaries), which is why there's
nothing close to a real containment report here — just the stuff that's supposed to stay behind the scenes. Things like titles,
protocols, object classes, explicit statements of authority, and a few other identifiers switch around at random too. Not sure why
our names are unaffected.- Kingham
This is a good layman's summary of the affected information. Essentially, anything 'authoritative' in the right way is
susceptible.- Scranton
Of course it's massively more complicated that, and in ways we actually understand, but I guess that's good enough for the average
reader. Why bother getting into the specifics when nobody reads or understands our papers anyways?- Graff
Take it easy, Vanessa. This is going into the final version.- Scranton
Di Molte Voci seems to have several vectors for affecting information. There's the classical infohazard, which means anything that
deals with it in any real detail is affected. Anything that references or links to said documentation can be affected, but this
usually has a reference threshold of four.- Graff
As an example, it affected the stack of post-it notes I leave on Kingham's desk after I left a third about the Voci. Presumably, the
stars aligned.- Benvenisty
Believe it or not, I'm half-convinced that there's some astrological significance to Di Molte Voci, but nothing that would affect
the reference threshold.- Graff
Not too long after initial containment, we figured out it got a lot weaker outside of a 310m radius. I'm gathering that the brainiac
consensus is that it's not just a standard area of effect, though?- Grimes
By way of advanced infohazard studies and my own pet theories, yes. It's not really a concern as far as containment goes, but there
are some research implications that we'll add once there's anything concrete to say.- Scranton
The 'death toll' is 43 containment summaries like this one, 271 other Foundation documents and assets, and at least 450 affected
pieces of information outside of containment.- Russo Sr. (Updated 2012-08-08)
The fact that there is no actual death toll is a testament to our fine researchers, containment specialists, and archivists.- Garcia
We're already well-paid. Don't feel the need to flatter us too.- Benvenisty
Somehow, it felt appropriate :)- Garcia
So, Di Molte Voci is something I picked up on vacation. Yes, those rumors about Foundation agents stumbling across SCPs on vacation
are real, or at least, they were for me. Anyways, I was checking out an antique shop in Sicily (which is to say, I was asking for
trouble) when I find an extremely pretty glass mask that looks like it belongs to a jester. The woman at the front counter, called
herself Greta, was adamant that she did not want money for it, and instead wanted to barter for it. After a delightful hour talking
over coffee with a 70-year-old woman, I got the mask. She claimed that it could dispel lies, and thus had no more use to her. I got
the sense that it wasn't a conversation she wanted to have, so I didn't press her. I flew home two days later.
I actually triggered its properties the day before I left while on the phone with my mom, when I attempted to sum up Instagram's
responses to the mask and ended up reciting all twenty comments. I chalked it up to being tired and brought it with me to work. The
same thing happened there, and that's about when they started to look at its containment.- Kojo
The antique shop from which Di Molte Voci was obtained had been closed down prior to our follow-up visit. The proprietor of the
laundromat next door claims that the store had been operating at a loss for an extended period of time.- Strunk
This is consistent with what she told me. Well, she didn't mention that she was going broke, but she did seem skinny in a sort of
unhealthy way, and wasn't shy about letting me buy her lunch. She did also try to sell me a few other odds and ends during lunch.
Never would let me pay for the mask, though. Money is obviously not going to be a concern for containment, since we don't plan on
selling it any time soon, but perhaps this could shine some light on its anomalous properties?- Kojo
Hold on, why are those words in red? I didn't do that.- Kojo
I have a hunch, but nothing concrete yet. We'll look into it.- Graff
I somehow doubt Di Molte Voci was made purely to mess with us. it probably has some sort of history. Wasn't there supposed to be an
inquiry in the area about it? What happened with that?- Kingham
There was, but predictably, I can't exactly condense the information into a summary. I'm this close to just cherry-picking some
statements from my "helpful" pile and slapping them together.- Strunk
It worked. Here we are.- Strunk
Display interview snippets (translated from Italian) Hide snippets
You're looking for Greta Lanza. She ran an antique shop in the city, but she's been missing. I realized something was wrong when she
didn't show up for Mass.- Anonymous civilian
I examined Ms. Lanza's home. It had nothing of interest, and in fact very little at all. It's consistent with the theory that she
was struggling with money.- Strunk
I looked at the picture you gave me, and it's definitely her.-Kojo
She never talked about a mask, but she did collect glass sculptures. It wouldn't surprise me if she had something like that.-
Anonymous civilian
If she knew about Di Molte Voci's anomalous properties, I'm not surprised that she kept quiet about it.- Scranton
Yes. Her grandson brought it in for a project we were doing in class last month, and said it was magical. Greta showed up part-way
through the kids' presentations and took it from him. She seemed very upset about the whole thing, I couldn't figure out why.-
Anonymous civilian
That's about when it started happening, yes. At first I thought someone was vandalizing the files, but then there was… something
that kept me from changing them back. I'm sorry, I don't know how to describe it. I locked the school's records system down once I
realized it was spreading, and I've been too scared to use it since.- Anonymous civilian
Most of the affected information was on the school's computers, but to be safe I called in a containment team to scour the town.-
Strunk
If she knew that Di Molte Voci is stronger when it's nearby, that would explain why she moved it to her shop afterwards. She was
comfortable pawning it off on some stranger, though, so perhaps she didn't realize it could snowball.- Grimes
Or she didn't care. She's getting old and going broke — maybe she just wanted things to stay stable for however long she planned on
staying.- Kingham
Alternatively, she wanted someone who needed it to have it. When I spoke with her about how I recently found out I was adopted, she
seemed sympathetic, but made a point of saying that some people need lies like that. I didn't press her on it.- Kojo
That would make sense. The lunch she wanted you to have with her was probably an audition of sorts, to see if you could use it
well.- Grimes
She probably didn't count on me handing it off to such a secretive control freak of an organization. Shame, that.- Kojo

Item #: SCP-2966
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2966 is to be contained at Outpost 117, and at no time shall any other SCP objects be contained
with it. A liquid-fluoride thorium reactor is to be powered at all times, with the heat exchange directly in thermodynamic contact
with SCP-2966's housing. Before usage of SCP-2966, monitors will ensure that there are at least 2.04×1017 joules of heat energy
available to thermodynamically transfer into SCP-2966's housing. During use, this heat energy transfer will be carefully monitored to
match the rate of matter removal.
A skeleton crew shall occupy Outpost 117, to minimize the risk of casualties. This crew shall consist of three persons trained in the
maintenance and upkeep of a liquid-fluoride thorium reactor, four research personnel to monitor both SCP-2966's state and the state of
the reactor, two four-man squads of security personnel to patrol a 25 km perimeter around Outpost 117's location and deter civilian
entrance, and one D-class personnel to use SCP-2966.
A D-Class shall use SCP-2966 three times per day, at eight-hour intervals (0800, 1600, 2400), where use is defined as the removal of
at least ten sheets from SCP-2966. Use is to be heavily monitored and contact shall be kept with the D-Class subject at all times
during said use, in order to modulate the speed with which SCP-2966 is used. A regulator placed on the reactor shall accordingly
adjust energy output to match inevitable changes in the rate at which SCP-2966 is used. A scale attached to SCP-2966's housing shall
determine its mass at all times, and relay said information to monitoring staff.
Construction of an airstrip for jet aircraft is currently undergoing evaluation as a possible means of escape, should SCP-2966 reach
the critical stage, as well as a means for connection to larger adjacent Foundation sites.
Description: SCP-2966 is an anomalous roll of brand toilet paper. The roll currently averages a mass of around . kilograms,
though attempting to reduce this mass is discouraged as a result of Incident 2966-35A. Toilet paper sheets removed from SCP-2966 are,
beyond being incredibly effective at removing stray fecal matter, non-anomalous and energetically stable. The roll section of SCP-2966
is housed in a steel container, attached to a wall mounting, which has no means for accessing the roll for replacement or removal.
Non-invasive testing of the housing has not yielded a clear picture of what is inside the housing, and invasive testing is discouraged
due to SCP-2966's volatile nature. In addition, the housing serves as the main heat-sink for thermal transfer between SCP-2966 and the
reactor; damaging the thermodynamic connection may result in SCP-2966 going critical.
SCP-2966 is anomalous in that it is, effectively, an infinite roll of toilet paper. Since containment started in / / ,
approximately km of toilet paper has been removed from SCP-2966. No means of inputting mass or more toilet paper have been
observed, and [REDACTED] testing has revealed no temporal retrieval of additional paper from a different location or dimension. The
mechanism by which SCP-2966 accomplishes this is entirely unknown, though its effects are well understood.
SCP-2966 obeys the laws of mass/energy conservation, and through unknown means, absorbs energy from its surroundings in order to
create the matter that makes up the toilet paper. One sheet of SCP-2966 weighs approximately three grams, which means that
approximately 2.04×1016 joules of energy, or roughly 65 tons of TNT, is needed for one sheet of SCP-2966 to be produced.[1] It is
estimated that there are sheets formed within the roll of SCP-2966, or a yield of [REDACTED] megatons of TNT.
1. When inputted into Einstein's mass/energy equivalency equation, E=mc2.
If more than ten sheets are removed at one time from SCP-2966, it will absorb the energy around it at roughly the rate at which sheets
are removed. The form of energy absorbed is most often heat energy, though SCP-2966 does not appear to have a preference; testing has
shown that ambient sound energy has also been decreased during use. Without an external source of energy to provide power to SCP-2966,
the large amount of energy needed to form one sheet (2.04×1016 joules) is absorbed from the ambient heat of the surroundings, quickly
bringing the temperature of all matter within a radius of meters to near absolute zero. This has happened twice during power
failures. Both times, onsite staff have sacrificed themselves to remove ten sheets, killing themselves through hypothermia instantly.
While not a sustainable containment solution, such a sacrifice has prevented SCP-2966 from going critical.
If SCP-2966 is not used, it will begin to lose the matter it has gained, turned into energy once more, at a rate given as e( . )n
joules per second, where n is the number of minutes since last use. This energy is radiated away in the form of heat, and
occasionally, alpha particles. The optimum balance between usage and radiation has been determined to be slightly more than eight
hours, reflected in the special containment procedures. As this rate increases exponentially, SCP-2966 will reach a critical stage
approximately hours after last use, in which the rate of energy radiation will rapidly approach infinity. Effectively, this results
in SCP-2966 converting its remaining mass entirely to energy in an instant. This is estimated to produce roughly 1x10 joules of
energy, or an explosion with a yield of megatons.[2] Despite Outpost 117's remote location, a fully critical SCP-2966 situation is
estimated to produce casualties in excess of what the Foundation is equipped to handle.
2. Compared with the Tsar Bomba, at a yield of 50 megatons.
During usage of SCP-2966, D-Class subjects have reported an occasional decrease in room temperature. D-Class have also reported that
the paper removed from SCP-2966 is exceptionally comfortable, effective, and strong. Requests for sheets removed from SCP-2966 to be
re-rolled and used at Foundation facilities have been denied.
2966 Recovery Log
SCP-2966 was discovered after Foundation agents noticed an anomalous temperature drop in , CA from data recorded by the
National Weather Service. A subsequent investigation by Mobile Task Force Theta-19 (Rocketeers) revealed that one "Pine Range
Research" had been frozen over in an area of about 1 km2, despite it being a warm summer day. Data returned by MTF Theta-19 indicates
that the temperature of the area had been approximately -108 degrees Celsius, far lower than any temperature naturally recorded on
Earth. As to why the area was not at absolute zero, research has suggested that the usage of SCP-2966 had occurred several hours
earlier, in which the Sun had time to warm the area.
MTF Theta-19 breached the building, and found that all present in the building had been killed as a result of the temperature drop. A
researcher, later identified as Dr. , was discovered apparently giving a demonstration to several others, holding
SCP-2966. The effects of SCP-2966 rendered all electronics within the site corrupted, thus no data could be obtained as to how SCP-
2966 was created. However, MTF Theta-19 did discover a handwritten journal belonging to Dr. in his office, and
while the pages were covered in frost, parts of the journal were recovered and able to be read. See Document 2966-01.
Several locals had noticed the rapid temperature drop. A cover story of a ruptured liquid nitrogen tank was disseminated, and Class A
amnestics administered. SCP-2966 was studied in situ in the following hours after a secure perimeter had been established, its
properties determined, and successfully contained.
Document 2966-01
/ / :
Today, we've achieved a breakthrough in toilet paper technology. Not a single man will need to feel the burning pain of an uncleaned
nether region ever again! Moreover, this will likely make me exceedingly rich, once we figure out how to make other paper products,
like tissues, and maybe even plates!
/ / :
A minor setback has occurred with the InfiniTP project. We can't produce cellulose fibers fast enough to make a truly infinite roll. A
possible solution is the liberal application of halved hafnium, otherwise known as quarternium. While exceedingly rare, and expensive,
sacrifices must be made in the pursuit of science!
While the others call me a fool, I should think that in this day and age, anyone with a doctorate should be able to understand others'
work, even if it's in a different branch. That's just good science, if you can write well enough for the layman to understand. Who
cares if I'm a botanist? I should be able to decipher Dr. █████'s paper on quarternium.
Note: No such element known as "quarternium" exists.
/ / :
The housing is complete. We've added the initial paper, and soon, the quarternium-[REDACTED] alloy will be complete, for insertion
into the hyperbaric containment field. Of course, the yotta-rays have proven themselves to be an issue, but they shouldn't terribly
hamper the production of fermion pairs.
Note: Rest of entry is illegible.
/ / :
It appears that the threshold energy for fermion-pair production is slightly higher than my calculations suggest. No matter. I'll just
re-work the calculations with Fermi-Estimation, and that should put us in a good place to test tomorrow. Soon, the world will never
need toilet paper again!
Note: After this entry are several partially legible equations, solved by hand. Thorough hand-calculations were done by Foundation
physicists with the same constants, which revealed that Dr. had apparently misplaced the square in E=mc2 early in his work.
This led to substantially lower energies than in reality, possibly reinforcing Dr. 's idea that he could create matter from
energy safely.
Incident 2966-35A
On / / , Test 2966-35A was conducted, in attempt to see if a reduction in mass could be achieved by rapid removal of SCP-2966
sheets while supplying an excess of energy. This resulted in SCP-2966 immediately going critical. The subsequent energy release of
×10 joules destroyed Outpost 117 and resulted in casualties. Due to Outpost 117's remote location, no non-Foundation casualties
were reported. SCP-2966 was recovered unharmed, and weighed grams less. Outpost 117 has since been rebuilt and containment re-
established.

SCP-2980 during testing.
Item #: SCP-2980
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2980 is to be contained in a standard item locker at Site-81. SCP-2980 may only be removed from
storage for testing.
Description: SCP-2980 is a nondescript incandescent lightbulb of unknown make, situated on top of a standard plastic 125v wall adapter
plug. The bulb itself is clear, with a standard filament and wiring system. The mounting bracket is red in color, with a "smiley face"
logo on both sides and a small black on/off switch on the front.
When SCP-2980 is plugged into a standard 125v wall socket and turned on, regardless of whether or not the socket is currently
receiving power, and when the local time reaches 2030 hours, SCP-2980 will power on and emit a red light. Any other lights in the room
remaining powered at 2030 hours will dim quickly, until the only source of lighting is SCP-2980.
Upon SCP-2980 turning on, a Class V Corporeal Humanoid Entity, designated SCP-2980-1, will materialize somewhere in the room
containing SCP-2980. SCP-2980-1 appears as a large, hoofed, bipedal creature, with dark red skin and curled horns. Outside of these
characteristics, SCP-2980-1 appears otherwise human, with human facial features and a human torso and arms.
For 15-30 minutes after appearing, SCP-2980-1 will proceed to read a story or collection of short stories to anyone nearby. SCP-2980-1
will read out of a small, black book with a leather binding and parchment pages. Notably, SCP-2980-1 will wear a pair of spectacles
during the reading. Upon reaching the end of the tale, or if subjects listening to SCP-2980-1's reading fall asleep, SCP-2980-1 will
dematerialize. SCP-2980 will remain on until powered off. Individuals who listen to the entirety of SCP-2980-1's story will invariably
fall asleep at its conclusion, and awaken roughly 9 hours later. Subjects universally claim to feel well rested afterwards.
Interview with SCP-2980-1 Hide Addendum
On ██/██/██, Dr. Randall entered SCP-2980's testing chamber, interrupting SCP-2980-1's story ("The Tired Little Eldritch Abomination")
and requesting an interview. SCP-2980-1 was eager to oblige, and the following interview took place.
Dr. Randall: SCP-2980-1, thank you for sitting down with me. Can you tell me more about what caused you to be here?
SCP-2980-1: Well doctor, I think I just got tired of doing the same old thing all the time, you know? I mean, everybody sort of gets
it in their head that it's some easy thing to torture and damn people for an eternity, but it really starts to wear on you after a
while. Besides, for the last thousand years or so I'd really been wanting to take my writing on the road, right? Get out there and
see my people. So a few months ago I loaded up my things, and well, here I am.
Dr. Randall: I see. So the stories, they're all original?
SCP-2980-1: Oh absolutely. A lot of it is drawn from personal experiences, stuff I encounter on a day to day basis. Pretty personal,
you know. I also dabble in a lot of different works. Read a lot of different stuff by different authors. Really try and widen my
horizons, right? Get a good feel of what the kids are reading nowadays.
Dr. Randall: Of course, of course. Now, you mention children. SCP-2980 was originally discovered in an orphanage. Any reason in
particular why it would've ended up there?
SCP-2980-1: You know, with the kids, it's really all about giving back, right? I just feel like I've lived my whole existence and
not really ever had a chance to make a difference in somebody's life. I figured, if I can help some kid rest easier at night, that's
gotta count for something. Gotta make every day count. Leave the world a better place than when you found it.
Dr. Randall: Mmhmm. Is there anything else you'd like to add, SCP-2980-1?
SCP-2980-1: Sure. I've got a collection of bedtime stories for children coming out next spring. Really solid stuff, I mean, who am I
to say anything about my own work, right? (Laughs) But seriously, the reviews are great. Check it out, definitely worth your time.
Proceeds all go to the Xlan'gthmr R'llnmerg Foundation for Underprivileged Youth. Really great cause.
Addendum 2980-A: Sample of SCP-2980-1 Stories
The following is a short sample of stories read by SCP-2980-1 during containment.
The Little Demon Space Cadet

Story depicts a small demon who dreams of going to space. Small demon constructs a spaceship out of human bones, and uses it to fly
to the moon.
Sleepy Time With GROG THE UNSPEAKABLE

Story depicts the main character, GROG THE UNSPEAKABLE, trying to find a suitable location to begin his millennium-long slumber. It
is mentioned many times throughout that GROG is sleepy.
Bedtime for Baby Beelzebub
Story depicts the infant incarnation of the Lord of Flies being prepared for slumber by a large, insectine creature. Story ends with

Addendum 2980-B Hide Addendum
During routine testing on ██/██/██, SCP-2980-1 told a story entitled "The Little Monstrosity's Early Bedtime", depicting a [DATA
EXPUNGED] going on an adventure to get home so it could be reunited with its mother and "countless waiting brethren". Shortly
thereafter, Site ██ experienced a breach of SCP-███, which caused ██ casualties and [DATA EXPUNGED] disappeared. Due to the
similarities between SCP-███ and the creature in SCP-2980-1's story, Dr. Randall was called in to question SCP-2980-1. SCP-2980-1
responded that "Well, I mean, you write what you know, right? I've been thinking for a while, and really think I'm ready to take my
writing in a new direction. You can't please everybody, though, but sometimes you hit one out of the park. That's why we do it, you
know? Write, I mean. It's all about pleasing an audience."

Item #: SCP-3000
Object Class: Thaumiel
Site Responsible: INWBKL Site-151
Director: Kerry Eckelkamp
Research Head: David Bell
Assigned Task Force: SCPF Eremita
Level 5/3000
CLASSIFIED
SCP-3000 and Foundation diver during Atzak Protocol.
Special Containment Procedures: The area containing SCP-3000, currently a region of the Bay of Bengal roughly 300km in diameter, is to
be routinely patrolled by Foundation naval vessels. Under no circumstances are civilians allowed to attempt deep sea exploration or
diving efforts in the quarantined area. Individuals believed to have contacted SCP-3000 are to be contained, quarantined, and
processed at Site-151. Individuals affected by the anomalous properties of SCP-3000 are to be held in containment indefinitely.
The Foundation submarine SCPF Eremita is to monitor the location of the foremost section of SCP-3000, currently located within the
Ganges Fan, roughly 0.7km beneath the Bay. The Eremita is tasked with carrying out the Atzak Protocol, and staffing regulations
onboard the vessel are subject to the guidelines of that protocol. For a full description of the Atzak Protocol, see Addendum 3000.2.
There is currently no known cure for exposure to SCP-3000; as such, affected individuals should be contained and quarantined for
further evaluation. Individuals stationed aboard the SCPF Eremita are not permitted to leave the vessel except for the purposes of
carrying out the necessary procedures of the Atzak Protocol. Individuals who leave the vessel without proper authorization are to be
considered lost.
Under no circumstances should any individual interact with SCP-3000 without authorization.
Description: SCP-3000 is a massive, aquatic, serpentine entity strongly resembling a giant moray eel (Gymnothorax javanicus). The full
length of SCP-3000 is impossible to determine, but is hypothesized to be between 600 and 900 kilometers. The head of SCP-3000 measures
roughly 2.5m in diameter, and sections of the body proper are as large as 10m in diameter.
SCP-3000 is typically a sedentary creature, only moving its head in response to certain stimuli or during feeding. The majority of its
body is located in and around the Ganges Fan[1], and rarely moves at all.
1. Specifically within several canyons throughout the region.
SCP-3000 is carnivorous, and despite its sedentary nature is capable of moving quickly to dispatch prey. Despite its size, it is
hypothesized that SCP-3000 does not require sustenance to maintain its biological functions[2]. While SCP-3000 excretes a thin layer of
a viscous, dark grey substance classified as Y-909 (see Addendum 3000.2 below) through its skin as it consumes prey, the end result of
its digestive processes is currently unknown.
2. Due to this, SCP-3000's internal biology is believed to be similarly anomalous.
SCP-3000 is a Class VIII cognitohazardous entity; direct observation of SCP-3000 may cause severe mental alterations in viewers.
Individuals who directly observe SCP-3000, as well as any individuals within an uncertain distance of SCP-3000, experience
inexplicable head pain, paranoia, general fear and panic, and memory loss or alteration. The following is a log from Site-151's
historical records, written by Dr. Eugene Getts, about initial discovery of SCP-3000 and the effects felt therein:
…the unease was felt throughout the entire crew as we descended on that first night. Whether this was due to our uncertainty at what
we would discover, or something more sinister, I would not speculate. As we continued to descend, Williams began sweating profusely.
When asked about it, he could not respond, stating that he thought he was missing something he could not deduce. As our descent
continued, he began to act more and more erratically, at one point addressing myself as "Darlene" and expressing uncertainty as to
the tasks he was assigned to handle.
Similar feelings were expressed by other members of the crew, but Williams felt it the most. His memetic resistance was by far the
lowest of all of us, but he was a biologist, not a memeticist. When we finally came into contact with the entity, he began
whimpering and had to be sedated. I remember him muttering the word "no" over and over again, as if in disbelief. He went silent
after a while as we approached its head, and when I looked back at him something had gone from his eyes. He did not even so much as
blink as we made our final descent.
At around 0940 hours, we first observed the head of the entity. The unease was palpable now; several other crew members complained
of feeling "hazy" and of being uncertain what they were supposed to be doing. Captain Ritter, ever the man's man, wrote it all off
as nitrogen intoxication and forced them to continue approaching the entity.
When we were within fifty meters, the entity turned slowly to look at us. Even now, as I recall watching this thing coil around in
the darkness, I can still hear Williams, barking like a mad dog in the rear of the vessel. Screaming and flailing, shouting about
how he could see it in his head. Perkins and Harrison tried to restrain him, but he got free and smashed his face in against one of
the portholes. He hit it so hard he cracked the inner layer of glass. The damage was bad enough that we had to surface.
We tried to give Williams medical attention, but he was too far gone at that point. He had pulped himself against the glass, and
despite the trauma, he still spoke briefly as he lay dying. Nobody recorded it, we didn't think to at the time. But I remember it
well enough. He said, "there's nothing, nothing, nothing." By the time we had reached the surface several hours later, Williams was
dead. At the time, I didn't think much about what he had said. Just the ravings of a man gone mad by the depths, I figured. I didn't
know any better.
But even now, I can still see the eyes of the creature. I see it hanging there in the darkness, illuminated by a light I cannot
source. And I feel the lingering dread that Williams must have felt that night in the submersible, as he was overcome by whatever
void that foul thing slithered out of.
SCPF Eremita diving towards contact site.
Discovery: SCP-3000 was discovered in 1971, shortly after two Bangladeshi fishing boats and fifteen fishermen were reported missing
after drifting near the Indian coast. As the country of Bangladesh had only been recently established at the time and had been subject
to significant political persecution on the part of Pakistan, this incident received high profile media attention due to fears that it
was a result of foreign aggression. Local coastal dispatch units could not locate the missing boats, fueling further media hysteria.
Foundation researchers stationed in Calcutta (now Kolkata) drew similarities between this disappearance and another incident two years
earlier. A thorough search aided by Mariotte-Pashler Counters revealed the location of the two boats, as well as an unknown,
previously undiscovered mass deep below the surface of the Bay of Bengal. Further investigation by Foundation divers discovered the
existence of SCP-3000.
The area was quickly secured, and current containment procedures were put in place in April of 1972; the Atzak Protocol was adapted in
October of 1998.
Addendum 3000.1: Initial Contact Exploration Log
Note: The following is the transcript of audio logs taken during initial deep-sea diver contact with SCP-3000. Until this point, no
Foundation diver had come within 300m of SCP-3000. Divers were tasked with assessing the creature, and determining the source of the
thick, grey fluid that had been observed floating around its head.
Dive team was composed of three members of MTF Orion-9 “Kingfishers”, lead by MTF O-9 Alpha. Launch point was through the airlock of
the Foundation submarine SCPF Stravinsky. All divers were equipped with high-pressure suits, as well as front-facing headlamps.
Additionally, a tether was connected to MTF O-9 Alpha, which was then connected in a “T” shape out to both Bravo and Foxtrot.
[BEGIN LOG]
Alpha: Alright command. We’re situated in the airlock, and ready to roll.
Command: Confirmed. Go ahead and sound off.
Alpha: Orion-9 Alpha, check.
Bravo: Orion-9 Bravo, check.
Command: Alright, men - we’re in position about 500m from the head of this creature. Make sure your tethers are on good and tight,
we don’t want any of you getting separated out there.
Bravo: What’s visibility like down here today, command?
Command: Standby.
Command: About three meters.
Foxtrot: So it’s dark as fuck. Got it.
Bravo: Why are we so far out?
Command: The size of this thing is hard to comprehend, and it’s wrapped up in itself in several places. We can’t get too close
because there’s too much body there. The entity hasn’t moved in about three weeks.
Foxtrot: At all?
Command: Affirmative. It moves slightly with the currents down here, but nothing more than that. If it weren’t for the head movement
that was observed by the first submersible team, we probably wouldn’t know if it was alive or not.
Foxtrot: That’s reassuring.
Alpha: Alright, tethers are tight. Flood the chamber.
Command: Confirmed.
Rushing water is heard as the airlock chamber floods. No other sound is heard for several minutes. After some time, the sound of
rushing water stops.
Alpha: You both good?
Bravo: I’m good.
Foxtrot: It’s fucking cold.
Alpha: Hopefully we won't be out for long then. Turn on your lights boys, here we go.
All members of the dive team exit the airlock. There is a low mechanical sound as the airlock door closes behind them. A muffled
click sound is heard, and the Stravinsky activates its aft floodlights.
Foxtrot: Hey Alpha, I uh— maybe this is a bad time to ask, but I can’t remember how to turn on my lamp, and-
Alpha: Your lamp is on, Foxtrot.
Foxtrot: It— what? (Pauses) What did you call me?
Alpha: Your designation, Mulhaney. Foxtrot.
Bravo: I’m Foxtrot, boss.
Alpha: Hang on, what are you talking about?
Foxtrot: I don’t understand what you mean by “designation”.
Alpha: It’s your goddamn call sign, Bravo, what do you mean—
Bravo: Who’s Bravo?
Alpha: I— uh, shit, hang on. I was going to say something. Barry[3], are you still there?
3. O-9 Alpha is believed to have been addressing a former member of the command team assigned to SCP-3000, Barry Hughes, who had passed away two years prior.
Command: Standby. (Pause) Go for command.
Alpha: Hey, we’re having a little trouble out here, I’m not sure who we seem to have some confusion over designations, and I’m not
sure where we’re going.
Foxtrot: Where exactly are we?
Bravo: God, do you— do you guys feel that? I’ve just got an awful headache, it’s like needling in my brain, something
Command: Dive team, be advised that we believe you may be experiencing some detrimental cognitive effects. Keep moving forward, and
we’ll give you more information as we receive it.
Alpha: Noted. Command, be advised that Foxtrot has a uh terrible headache. I think are we going in the right direction? We can’t
see out here.
Command: You are roughly 150m from the head of the entity, Alpha. You should be getting a visual soon.
Bravo: Command, I don’t see anything, where are we?
Alpha: Where are we?
Command: We're almost there, Alpha - dive team, be advised, we’re picking up movement from the entity on radar.
Alpha: I— Barry, I don’t see anything down here, what are we supposed to be looking-
Foxtrot: All all I can see is darkness. There's a chill foul wind blowing, pushing me towards a brink I can't see-
Alpha: Shut up, shut up, shut up - Command, Bravo is unresponsive, requesting immediate cessation of mission-
Bravo: Wait a second-
Foxtrot: —on the edge of the nothingness, inches from oblivion. There's a there's a sickness in my mind that I know can't be cured.
Beyond me is only blackness, and a single pair of dark eyes-
Alpha: What? What are you saying?
Command: Dive team, we’re going to pull you back in immediately, we have reason to believe that—
Alpha: Barry? Is that you? How can it be? I shoveled the dirt during your—
Bravo: I can hear something over there, Alpha, your light, get your fucking—
Foxtrot: —silence, only silence, my consciousness coming undone and only and only and only-
Command: Dive team, something is moving toward you, repeat, something is moving toward you, prepare to return to-
Alpha: Ah, this is shit. I can’t see. How far are we from the-
Bravo: It’s right there! It’s right there! Fuck! What are you both doing? Fuck!
Foxtrot: —and only the eel remains.
Radio silence for twenty seconds.
Command: Alpha?
Radio silence for thirteen seconds.
Command: Alpha? Bravo? Foxtrot? Do any of you hear us?
Bravo: (Unintelligible)
Command: Oh, thank God - Bravo, you need to speak up, we can’t—
Bravo: Shhhhhhhh.
Radio silence for ten seconds.
Command: Something has bound up the winch between you and us, we can’t—
Alpha: It’s opening its mouth.
Bravo: It’s so dark, there’s— ah-
Foxtrot: Where am I? What—
Alpha: Barry? How can it be? I shoveled dirt-
Bravo: Mulhaney swim, get away, there’s only darkness, swim—
Foxtrot: Only-
There is suddenly tension in the tether attached to the Stravinsky. O-9 Foxtrot’s radio goes silent. There is the sound of a
struggle through the other two radios.
Command: Foxtrot? Foxtrot? Alpha? Bravo? Talk to me, stay calm, what happened?
Bravo: It ate him, fuck, he’s gone, it took him whole, he— goddammit, Alpha, what are you doing?
Alpha: Alpha?
Bravo: Cut the fucking goddamn tether Alpha, it’s pulling us in!
Alpha: Who?
Bravo: Fuck!
Alpha: (Silence) Ah—
Total radio silence for thirty seconds. Tether attached to Stravinsky is pulled free from its moorings and disappears.
Command: Alpha, Bravo, do you copy?
Radio silence for five seconds.
Command: Alpha, Bravo, do you copy?
Bravo: This is Bravo, I’m I’m floating in the dark. I can see shapes moving through the fog, but they’re hard to make out. I cut my
tether, Alpha wouldn’t— I think he’s gone. I don’t see his light anymore.
Command: Acknowledged. We’re coming to-
Bravo: Hang on, just let me think for a second cognition, this thing, it doesn’t work around it. Your brain can’t form thought,
(static) it hurts, it’s like dying, and—
Command: Bravo, do you have eyes on the entity?
Bravo: It’s in my head, guys. Coiled up in there like a snake, and something about it is caustic. (Pauses) I can see it, just in
front of me. It’s not doing anything, it’s it isn’t moving. Just hanging there, with its mouth open. I think it’s finished eating.
(Pauses) That fluid is seeping through the skin around its head, about a meter back. Just looking at the stuff is making me like
the room is spinning. I feel nauseous. My head isn’t working right. (Laughter) There's an abortion under the floorboards, and
another in the si— wait, this is wrong, that wasn't me. Who said that?
Bravo: My I’m going to collect a sample, hang on.
Command: Bravo, we’re going to send out a crew to get you, just hold on.
Bravo: Oh no, don’t do that. Not you have to be trained to not feel the things I’m feeling, otherwise it will get into you. Maybe
it will anyway, who knows. It feels like the end of the world down here, fellas. My heart is really going off the charts, and I
think I’m dying. Just— (Pauses) I got a sample. I’ll attach it to one of those little balloons and let it float up. You’ll be able
to get it later. Don’t spend too much time around that stuff, it it doesn’t your mind it (Quick, heavy breathing)
Command: Bravo?
Bravo: I think I’m dying. I’m dying, I know I’m dying, this is it. I just want to get away from here. You know, it occurs to me
(laughs quietly) don’t send anyone else out here. It’s so dark.
Command: Bravo?
Over the next half hour, the SCPF Stravinsky attempted to approach O-9 Bravo, with no success. Command continued to attempt to
communicate with O-9 Bravo, but Bravo grew increasingly unintelligible, before eventually going completely silent. Bravo's radio
stayed active over the next three days, and intermittent breathing could be heard until the radio ceased functioning.
Addendum 3000.2: Atzak Protocol

This protocol dictates certain interactions with a CLASS VIII COGNITOHAZARDOUS ENTITY, SCP-3000, and as such is LEVEL 5/3000
CLASSIFIED.
Preface: The following protocol was developed in conjunction with researchers from Site-29 and Site-50, as well as researchers
stationed at Site-151. Some sections may have been redacted to remove material above this classification. Adherence to this protocol
is required for all personnel assigned to Site-151, as well as all personnel assigned to the SCPF Eremita.
Abstract: The 151-HOLLISTER ATZAK PROTOCOL has been developed and implemented to create a strategy for the management of the Y-909
chemical compound excreted by SCP-3000.
Protocol Information: The Y-909 compound, originally discovered by the late Dr. Adam Hollister, is a critical component in several
modern and experimental amnestic compounds. Specifically, the following amnestics now contain a refined version of the Y-909
compound:
Class-A (2016 variant)
Class-D (2016 variant)
Class-E (2016 variant)
Class-X (2017 variant)
Class-XX (2017 variant)
[REDACTED]
[REDACTED]
Atzak-Class Experimental Compound
Foster-Class Experimental Compound
Ellipse-Class Experimental Compound
The inclusion of the Y-909 compound has shown a marked increase in the stability and long-term effectiveness of the aforementioned
amnestics. Overall, amnestics utilizing Y-909 break down 78% slower than their standard counterparts in cold storage, and 52% slower
than their standard counterparts at room temperature.
Additionally, individuals administered an amnestic regimen utilizing Y-909 show a marked increase in suggestibility, memory
clearance, and a significant decrease in additional side-effects (such as nausea, vomiting, bowel distress, blurred vision,
headaches, insomnia, heart damage, and others). Individuals treated with these amnestics expressed significantly fewer intrusive
memories as those without Y-909, with some individuals exposed to experimental compounds expressing no intrusive memories
whatsoever, even at the 5 and 10 year marks.
Due to the effectiveness of these treatments with the addition of Y-909, the continued inclusion of this compound is essential to
modern Foundation amnestic application. Reliance on the continued use of Y-909 necessitates its collection for the foreseeable
future, as a synthetic version of the compound has not yet been discovered.
As such, this protocol dictates the way this compound is collected off of SCP-3000, and the way personnel are to interact with SCP-
3000. Below is a brief framework of the procedure, and detailed information can be found in the full Atzak brief:
Members of MTF Epsilon-20 "Night Fishermen" are to prepare a subject for deliverance to the feeding site. One individual D-
Class subject is to be administered a sedative, and equipped with a high-pressure diving suit. The subject is then to be
tethered to an underwater ROV within the aft airlock. The airlock is to be flooded, and the subject is to be towed by the ROV
towards the feeding site. Upon reaching the feeding site, the ROV is to disconnect its tether, and return to the Eremita.
Throughout this stage, SCPF Eremita should monitor SCP-3000's position, and adjust course if the entity begins to move away
from the feeding site. Mission command will provide additional instructions during this phase if necessary.
Personnel onboard the SCPF Eremita are to monitor SCP-3000 during feeding sessions. During this time, no personnel are
permitted to leave the Eremita without authorization from mission command.
At a point after the total consumption of prey, SCP-3000 will begin to excrete Y-909 near the foremost section of its body.
Specialized teams of deep-sea divers are to exit the SCPF Eremita through the aft airlock and approach SCP-3000. Collection of
Y-909 must take place during SCP-3000's "digestive" period, which is currently believed to be roughly two and a half hours
after consumption of prey. Teams must return to launch craft before the end of this period. During this period, the typical
effects of SCP-3000 are less severe, though Command should continue to monitor these teams for damage to their cognition.
After collection of Y-909 is complete, personnel are to transfer the collected substance to secure containers before returning
to the surface. The mission administrator onboard the Eremita is to monitor the substance throughout transport.
Addendum 3000.3: Psychological Evaluation

Dr. Venkatraman Krishnamoorthy
Note: On ██/██09, Level 3 Researcher Venkatraman Krishnamoorthy attempted to exit out the Eremita's aft airlock without diving
equipment, but was quickly restrained and the airlock cycle aborted. Despite having a CRV of 26, and having not displayed any previous
signs of depression or suicidal attempt prior to his assignment aboard the Eremita, Krishnamoorthy was interviewed by staff clinical
psychologist Dr. Anand Mannava to acquire a better understanding of SCP-3000's potential effect on his psyche.
[BEGIN LOG]
Mannava: Hi Venkat, how are you feeling?
Krishnamoorthy: Unwell.
Mannava: That's what I hear. Do you want to talk about what happened today?
Krishnamoorthy is silent.
Mannava: We don't have to, if you don't want to. We can talk about something else.
Krishnamoorthy: I'm tired, Anand.
Mannava: I understand. This assignment has been stressful on all of—
Krishnamoorthy: It's not, no, it isn't the stress. I've done this before, I've been on I don't actually know if I've done this
before.
Mannava: You have.
Krishnamoorthy: I don't remember it. Any of it. I've been getting these out of context feelings, like my body reacting to reflexes
it didn't know it had. Everything is so disconnected, and trying to keep it together is I'm just tired.
Mannava: When did you start feeling this way?
Krishnamoorthy: How long have we been down here? I don't remember. I don't know when, I honestly don't. I wish I could tell you more
than that, but I have nothing. I look to that place in my mind and there's something else there— or sometimes nothing at all.
Mannava: What do you mean, something else?
Krishnamoorthy: I've been having other peoples' dreams, Anand. I see faces I don't recognize, places I know I've never been or
maybe I have. I don't know. How can I know what is real or not, when I can't trust my own mind?
Mannava: Well, maybe I can help you with that, Venkat. We can go over things you think you've forgotten, and I can—
Krishnamoorthy: Don't patronize me. I know you've felt it, Anand. Your mind gets hazy. Parts of you start to slip, your memories
grow faint, fading in and out until they're gone, or worse, replaced. You see pasts that aren't yours, experiences that you never
lived. You start to become other people, or nobody at all.
Mannava: Venkat, please. I'm just trying to help.
Krishnamoorthy: Do you even know my work before we met? Come to think of it, I don't even remember how we met. I know your name,
know that you're a psychologist, but are we friends? Are we brothers? I don't know how I know you. We work together, I know that. I
still have that. But other things, they come and go. I don't know if I am married, or have children[4].
4. Dr. Krishnamoorthy was married twice, and has two sons and three daughters between the two marriages.
Mannava: I see.
Krishnamoorthy: And that that isn't the worst of it. I know this is happening to me, I know that my mind is coming apart. But
there's something else in there, too. Something rising out of the out of the smoke of my smoldering consciousness. That eel.
Mannava: The eel?
Krishnamoorthy: I don't I don't remember my mother. I can hear her voice, but I can't remember her face. I can't remember how she
smelled, or how she but what I do remember is she told me about gods. (Pauses) There is a god, called Anantashesha. A serpent, the
king of serpents. Said to lie beneath Vishnu in the cosmos. A six headed snake god, isn't that something?
Mannava: It yes, I am familiar.
Krishnamoorthy: Ah of course, I'm sorry. I forgot. (Pauses) She I don't remember much, but I do remember that she told me about
how Anantashesha would would linger past the end. Gaze upon the darkness past the end of time. She said that, when the light of the
universe had gone out, all that would be left is Anantashesha. (Pauses) I have worked my entire life for the Foundation, so much as
I can recall. I have struggled to build my name and my reputation and done everything I can do to leave something, anything. Some
kind of mark that says I was here. But
Mannava: What is it?
Krishnamoorthy: I I believe that SCP-3000 is Anantashesha. I believe that this this aberration, this treachery against cognition,
is the result of us being in the presence of a god. Not just a god, but a god who exists across all time, all at once, and even
beyond. Maybe maybe some part of the nothingness beyond the edge of time is part of Anantashesha, as well. Maybe it acts as, as a
conduit, some kind of—
Mannava: Venkat, please, we're scientists—
Krishnamoorthy: No, let me finish. In defiance of the nothingness that comes after this, all of this, there is Anantashesha. There's
a chance that my memories might live on, that I might be remembered like the memories I've seen have been through me. I don't I
don't have proof of this. But when I looked into its eyes and saw what it showed me, I was afraid. I'm merely a mediocre man, Anand.
This was a fear that I have refused to acknowledge for years, a fear of irrelevance, that no one will know who I am when I die.
Afraid of being forgotten. Afraid of my life being meaningless. Afraid of being alone. Afraid of dying. (Sighs) There is a terror
within me that I cannot reconcile, Anand. I won't lie to you and tell you that the maw of the naga does not terrify me as well, but
between this and the infinite dark I have gazed into, I have made up my mind.

Addendum 3000.4: Incident Video and Audio Log
After two days of containment within a secure holding cell onboard the Eremita, orders were received to lift the hold order on Dr.
Krishnamoorthy, in accordance to the terms of the Atzak Protocol. Three hours after Dr. Krishnamoorthy was released from his holding
cell, the following incident took place:
[BEGIN LOG]
<02:19:33> Krishnamoorthy stands near the entrance to the Eremita's aft airlock. Subject is facing away from nearest camera.
<02:19:58> Proximity alarm is triggered. Exterior floodlights activate. SCP-3000 is still not visible. Command is alerted, and
Eremita's engines engage, preparing for evasive maneuvers.
<02:20:06> Krishnamoorthy is startled by proximity alarm, and begins to appear panicked. Subject continues to look at entrance to
the aft airlock. Subject turns briefly towards nearest camera, and is observed to be weeping.
<02:20:21> Krishnamoorthy slowly approaches aft airlock and opens airlock door. Subject enters airlock, and primary access door
seals behind the subject.
<02:20:57> Interior airlock camera captures Krishnamoorthy staring at exterior airlock door for a full two minutes, unmoving. After
two minutes, subject collapses on the ground.
<02:21:15> All cameras shudder as primary turbines spin up. SCP-3000 is visible on radar, approaching SCPF Eremita. SCP-3000 is not
visible on exterior cameras.
<02:26:37> Krishnamoorthy stands and approaches diving suit locker. Subject puts on a high-pressure deep sea diving suit, and then
moves towards exterior door controls. Subject engages exterior door latch. Interior airlock camera is obscured by rushing water.
<02:27:14> Secondary alarm is triggered by airlock breach. Personnel on the bridge attempt to close airlock, but Krishnamoorthy has
already exited the airlock.
<02:27:48> Krishnamoorthy hangs in the water behind the aft section of the Eremita, illuminated by exterior floodlights. Subject is
motionless.
<02:28:11> SCP-3000 slowly appears from out of the darkness. Krishnamoorthy remains motionless.
<02:28:29> Exterior cameras shudder as Eremita begins to reverse towards Krishnamoorthy. Rescue teams have assembled in the airlock
chamber.
<02:28:52> SCP-3000 approaches Krishnamoorthy. Its mouth begins to open. Eremita sounds horns, but neither SCP-3000 or subject
appear to notice.
<02:29:09> SCP-3000 moves to just above Krishnamoorthy. Subject appears to look up into the now fully expanded jaw of SCP-3000.

Addendum 3000.5: Personal Journal of Dr. Mannava
Note: The following are excerpts from the personal diaries of Dr. Anand Mannava. Dr. Mannava has kept several journals during his
assignment, and has reported that it is beneficial to counteract the psychological and memory-affecting properties of SCP-3000.
23/09/2009
I come to bury Venkat, not to praise him.
Psychologically speaking, having your memories

affected like his is not a pleasant experience for
anyone. I really shouldn't be surprised he chose
to relieve himself from having his memories
meddled with - after all, it's really alarming.
Being briefed on its effects doesn't change the
fact that I need to constantly keep tabs on all
staff, myself included, and ground us to reality.
I am supposed to submit a full psychological
report now, detailing what has gone wrong, why a
staff member turned suicidal, and a full analysis
of possible ways to prevent this from happening
again in the future, to the O5 and Site Director
Nox, have it reviewed and some new regimen
designed to prevent such a travesty from happening
again.
He always was more religious than I am. Right at

the end of his life he was riffing on Anantashesha
- a primordial Hindu snake god - and rambling
about eternity. I'm not going to question the
legitimacy of his beliefs and his claims, but this
is quite the enigma, and I suppose I should
consider myself lucky that this assignment is
relatively benign compared to previous assignments
that I've had. I don't think this is a mythical
eel - anomalous, maybe, but not really that
extraordinary. It's funny - I spent the last
thirty years blocking out everything my father
wanted to teach me about Hinduism and now I'm
racking my brains trying to remember anything he
had to say about it.
I want to say that it's because of the eel, but if

I'm being honest with myself I simply tried to
forget all his teachings. Maybe not at the
beginning, but certainly by the end. I can barely
even remember what he looked like. But I do
remember how angry he got when I couldn't remember
the names of my grandparents or great-uncles. He
was desperate to preserve his culture heritage,
and I did everything I could to spite him. On his
deathbed he begged me to perform the traditional
last rites after his death. He even wrote the
instructions down, but I was so angry at him that
I tore them up in front of him. I can't even
remember why. The only memories I have of him are
how he made me feel. He spent almost twenty years
trying to pass down our heritage - and all I have
now is anger and hatred and regret.
30/09/2009
Site Director Nox gathered the staff this morning

for a short mourning. After a few brief and
laconic eulogies, he took me aside and told me
that Venkat's replacement will come in a few weeks
- and as he kept no contact with his family, it's
likely his belongings will just be disposed of,
and are now technically Foundation property. The
director indicated that if I want to keep a thing
or two from him, I should do so now.
His office was relatively unremarkable - his cushy

squashed chair cushion, few office toys, and lots
of marine biology books that I should probably
check out someday. The only thing I took was a
statue of Ganesh that stood next to the window.
Not fully sure why myself, but he's now sitting on
the bookshelf, next to a picture of myself, my
wife, and our daughter at a lakeside terrace. It
was a pretty unremarkable trip to some tourist
trap in Lucknow, but this really is one of our
best-looking pictures.
We're going under again tomorrow.
11/11/2009
All of the D-class managed to stay put this week,

which is good. Other than the routine depression
and memory loss from exposure to SCP-3000,
everything was in order. Sometimes I'm a bit
envious of them - all they know is that they're
scooping gunk off some big eel. They don't know of
its importance, or why it's critical that they
collect it, and how much it helps us.
Of course, one saving grace of being on the
psychological division for the Atzak Project is
the awareness of its potential effects - I'm aware
of what's happening to my psyche. I know that I
have memories that are being drained, pieces that
are being lost right now. I recall images of a
young man on a bicycle, in front of a schoolyard
gate, looking like it was the 80s, when I was in
Singapore - he was laughing - yet I don't know if
this man was a friend, a lover, a son, a family
friend - who this young man is. Perhaps Italian?
Or maybe Australian? Maybe this isn't even a
cherished memory at all.
I looked at the Ganesh statue and the picture of

my family again. It's really quite a shame, I
truly forgot most anything that I've done with
them. I've started trying to learn some Hindu
poems and songs; went out and got a copy of the
Vedas, but I can't memorize the lines properly.
I've been reflecting on what Venkat told me before

he passed though - his deep, deep seated fear of
mediocrity. Unable to rise out of the sea of
humans that walk on the face of this earth. He's
worked for the Foundation for years, and while he
isn't one of the most well-known and household
names of the Foundation, he's not exactly obscure
- he's been the Foundation's leading marine
biologist and go-to-expert for anything aquatic,
and quite well-revered. I'm actually quite
surprised by his jealousy - he was never the
flashy and bombastic type, and I would have never
guessed that he wanted fame and recognition.
Perhaps he really was afraid that he is doomed to

be stuck in mediocrity.
Perhaps the silence of this place reminded him of

something worse.
Addendum 3000.6 : Memorandum on Atzak Brief [LEVEL 5/3000 CLASSIFIED]
Some new assignments had questions about our work here, so I'm publishing this to clear most of them up. Feel free to contact my
office if there are any others.
The Atzak Protocol is a method for gathering and processing the Y-909 compound. It's a thick, brackish, grey fluid that SCP-3000
excretes as part of its metabolism. We don't know the exact method by which it does this, but we have some ideas, and none of them
are great for us.
Initially, we thought it was bleeding. The first team we sent down to look at SCP-3000 went down to collect blood samples for
analysis. When SCP-3000 attacked and consumed them, and began producing more of the substance, we realized that we were looking at
something different entirely. It's definitely not blood, it's more akin to a prion slurry. It's extremely toxic, and spending too
much time around the stuff causes a lot of the same effects as exposure to SCP-3000 does. Paranoia, memory loss, suicidal thoughts,
etc. Refining the raw Y-909, what the processors call "eel jelly", allows us to create amnestics more effective than any we've ever
had access to in the history of this organization.
Herein lies the ethical dilemma. SCP-3000 only creates Y-909 after eating, and it only eats humans. Remember when I said we had some
ideas about how it does this? Some of our biologists have hypothesized that SCP-3000 is breaking down whatever makes sapient
creatures sapient, filtering it through some part of its skin, and the residual ether is what we collect. You want to know something
really fucked up? We've taken radiographs of this thing, trying to see what's going on inside of it. It's full of dead human bodies.
It's not digesting them at all, it's doing something else, and the end result is Y-909.
When we first started using Y-909 in our amnestics programs, we tried to synthesize it. We got something close to what we were
looking for, Y-919, but the side effects were catastrophic. The amnestics would work, we could get people to forget events, people,
and so on. But then they would start to forget other things, too. The mental deterioration would rapidly increase until there was
nothing left, and then they would die. A few of those researchers thought we might be able to figure out how to decrease the
severity of those side effects, but the cost to continue those trials would have been astronomical, and the program was
discontinued.
It's no secret that what we're doing here is abhorrent. The Ethics Committee, the Classification Committee, they're all looking at
ways to make this more tolerable than what it is. But the hard truth is, if we want to continue to use modern amnestics, we have to
have Y-909. If we want to have Y-909, we have to feed D-Class to SCP-3000. Otherwise, we'd be forced to go back to the metaphorical
dark ages, where we were amnesticizing people with opiates and chloroform.
The good news is, we're developing ROVs that should be able to take over the job of collecting the raw material from our dive teams.
This will eliminate any chance of accidental casualties like we've had in the past, and is a good first step. For everything else,
only time will tell.

Addendum 3000.7: Personal Journal of Dr. Mannava
Note: The following is the full text of a page, penned in the hand of Dr. Mannava, which was ripped out of a journal and placed on his
nightstand.
undated
I have spent a considerable amount of time on this
assignment attempting to understand the underlying
effects of individuals exposed to a Class VIII
cognitohazard. I have conducted numerous personnel
interviews, written a great many psychological
reports, but I have not been able to properly
deduce what about this creature would lead a
perfectly sane man out the door of that airlock,
and into the maw of the eel.
Earlier this week, as I was preparing my notes for

another report, I accidentally knocked the picture
of myself, my wife, and my daughter off of my
nightstand. The glass shattered as it hit the
ground, and the picture fell out. As I cleaned it
up, I noticed something written on the reverse of
the image. It said,
"Anand, Shanti, and Padma. June, 2002"
But the writing was not mine, it was Venkat's. I

was puzzled by this. Why would Venkat have written
on the back of a picture of mine? I thought little
of it at the time, and cleaned up the mess and
went about my day. But this question stuck with
me. It was a little thing, easily explained in any
number of ways, but I could not seem to shake the
notion of uncertainty. It was not until last night
that a horrifying thought struck me, one that I
could not sleep on. I accessed the Foundation
personnel archives, and realized a truth that I
cannot reconcile.
Shanti was Venkat's first wife. Padma was his

daughter. The records are clear. The life I
remember, the experiences I am certain I have had
with them, are the experiences and memories of
Venkat, not me. I have never been married, and I
have no children. Even now, I can see my wife in
my mind, hear her laughter, smell her hair. But I
know now that it is Venkat I see her through, not
me.
The horror of this realization has been replaced

with a queer sort of dread. I've figured out what
the eel does. Something about it, some latent part
of its creation, abhors cognition. It breaks down
human consciousness and scatters the part of us
that we believe is a soul until all that remains
is what we really are: electrical signals that
will some day become inert.
If even I can't remember myself, how can I expect

anyone else to remember me? I have forgotten my
own life - and I am strangely apathetic at this
revelation. I will fade into the darkness, as
thousands before me have, and thousands after me
will. No one will care as I am forgotten. I do not
despair for my own sake, but for us all - you and
I, we will all face obliteration. I am not
important. You are not important. Vast droplets of
irrelevancy, stretching eons in the sea of time.
We may fight against it, but our enemy is
inevitability.
I do not think that the eel is Anantashesha. I

don't think it would matter if it was. What is
clear to me now, as I feel myself coming apart, is
not that the eel is some mythological creature, or
divine serpent. Perhaps it's just a primitive
creature that eluded us, holding no malice;
perhaps it really is a primordial deity, harboring
resent beneath the surface. The eel is not the
harbinger of my demise, or humanity's doom. The
eel is not the end of all things, it only shows us
what the end looks like.
And in spite of everything we might believe, every

ideal we hold or providence we pray for, I know
this much is true for all of us:
Our end will be a forgotten one.
Note: Dr. Mannava was later discovered, unresponsive, near the aft airlock. Evidence suggested that Dr. Mannava had broken into the
onboard storage locker and ingested a significant amount of raw Y-909. Dr. Mannava was moved off of the Eremita, and remains at Site-
151 for analysis.

Item #: SCP-3001
Special Containment Procedures: To prevent further accidental entries into SCP-3001, all Foundation reality-bending technology will be
upgraded/modified with multiple newly developed safeguards to prevent Class-C "Broken Entry" Wormhole creation. While knowledge of
SCP-3001 is available to personnel of any level should they wish to learn about it, research and experimentation with SCP-3001 and its
associated technology is strictly limited to personnel of Level 3 and above, with special clearance designation granted from Sites
120, 121, 124, and 133.
Description: SCP-3001 is a hypothesized paradoxical parallel/pocket "non-dimension" accessible through the creation of a momentary
Class-C "Broken Entry" Wormhole.[1] While believed to be an infinitely extending parallel universe, SCP-3001 is almost completely
devoid of any matter and has an extremely low Hume Level of 0.032,[2] contradicting Kejel's Laws of Reality with the relation between
Humes and spacetime. This phenomenon causes matter inside it to decay at an extremely low rate, and damage that would otherwise prove
fatal does not impede any biological/electronic function; simulations suggest an organism can lose more than 70% of their body's
tissue and still operate normally, as long as at least 40% of the brain remains. However, prolonged exposure will cause said matter to
gradually approach SCP-3001's own Hume Level, resulting in severe tissue/structural damage as the matter's own Hume Field begins to
disintegrate.
2. For more information on Humes and reality physics, refer to documents JEK-WT01 and JEK-EB02.
1. A previously hypothetical type of wormhole that does not transport matter to the expected location, or has a spacetime flaw that may randomly and dangerously
eject matter mid-travel.
SCP-3001 was initially discovered on January 2, 2000, at Site-120, a facility dedicated to testing and containing reality-bending
technology. Dr. Robert Scranton and his wife Dr. Anna Lang were Head Researchers at Site-120, and were developing an experimental
device, called the "Lang-Scranton Stabilizer" (LSS).[3] Dr. Scranton was transported to SCP-3001 after unexpected seismic activity
damaged several active LSS in Site-120 Reality Lab A.
3. The LSS was the prototype whose design would go on to become the basis for the current "Reality Anchor" project.
Initially presumed dead, Dr. Scranton has survived in SCP-3001 for at least five years, 11 months, and 21 days. During this time, he
was able to record his experiences and observations within SCP-3001 through a somehow still functioning LSS control panel, which was
also brought into SCP-3001 with him through the Class-C "Broken Entry" Wormhole. These recordings were later recovered upon the
panel's sudden return, an unexpected side effect from testing improved reality-bending technology; these logs are the basis of SCP-
3001 study. Despite new technologies being developed, retrieval and re-integration of Dr. Scranton has been unsuccessful. His current
physical and mental states, if he is still alive, are unknown. [Further information on Dr. Scranton's possible retrieval is under
Ethics Committee review.] Transcripts of Dr. Scranton's logs are below.
File: Scranton SCP-3001 logs, Section 1. Close.
[No discernible/coherent dialogue can be heard from Dr. Scranton for the first eight days. He cycles through periods of panic,
confusion, and anger throughout, and it seems he was attempting to navigate SCP-3001 to find a way out. He finally moved close
enough to the recording log on the eleventh day, though did not notice it was operating for several more hours.]

What the what the hell is that? [It is assumed at this point Dr. Scranton noticed the flashing light of the recording module.]
What the fuck, this thing's actually recording?
[Metallic clang heard.]
[Voice is highly agitated and panicked.] My name, is Robert Scranton. Yeah, yeah, my name, is Robert Scranton, former researcher at
Foundation Site-120. It has been I don't know, actually, I I can't remember. I I estimate it's been ten days, but, I-I-I don't, I
can't Oh God, can anyone hear me?! I-I-I don't know what's happened, I-I don't know where I am, and-and, please, please is anyone
there?! Hello?! Anyone?! ANYONE?!
No one can hear me. Oh God, oh God, oh God. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK.
Why the hell is this thing even working, it can't be working, it SHOULDN'T be working, so what the hell?! I need to — God, I need
to, I need to see, how long can I talk here, I think there's a-a-a cap or something on the recording log, and I-I-I can't see
anything, I can only see the red light blinking on and off, I can't see any of the switches next to it
I'm really hungry.
Thirsty, too. I think I should be dead from dehydration by now, but I don't know.
Hi, little red light. Can you talk to me? Can you talk to Anna, for me? Hello?
I found the controls.

Two weeks, three days, forty-seven hours, and fifty-eight minutes.
Two weeks, three days, forty-seven hours, and fifty-eight minutes.
Two weeks, three days, seven hours, and fifty-eight minutes.
Two weeks, three days, seven hours, and fifty-eight minutes.
Oh Jesus.
ERROR WITH PLAYBACK, ERROR WITH PLAYBACK. ERROR WITH PLAYBACK.
Wherever the hell I am, I'm pretty sure now that I don't need to eat to stay alive. It hurts a lot, but at this point I don't
think I'm gonna die So I'm gonna I'm gonna take my time I guess. I Maybe some sort of miracle will happen and I'll get out.
Heh. Keep dreaming, Robert. Yeah, I'm I'm tired, I'm gonna sleep.
Three weeks, four days, nineteen hours.
I have a picture of Anna in my pocket. I almost forgot. Little red light, let me see her face, please? Just a little bit, I just I
just want to see her a bit.
Hi, Anna, I'm still here, I'm still here. I'm coming back, okay?
Two months, four days, three hours.
Hi. Robert here. Yeah, I-I haven't really recorded much to hear in the past few weeks. Ha. Hahahaha Hahaha huh huh
Sorry, gotta keep it together. Breathe.
I've been I've been busy. Trying to learn more about the place I'm in. My prison. My kingdom all my own. Heh, King Robert. God, I
stink. Is there even air in this goddamn place? Stinky King Robert, king of GODDAMN NOTHING FUCK.
Sorry, sorry. I, I gotta keep this professional. I'll I'll come back when I'm feeling rested.
Okay, here goes. [Inhales then exhales deeply.]
My name is Robert Scranton. I am a former Head Researcher of Site 120, a Foundation facility dedicated to studying various
reality-bending SCPs, for the purpose of developing more advanced countermeasures towards such threats.
For the last red light, speak to me,
Two months, eight days, sixteen hours.
What red light said. I have been trapped in what I believe to be an empty pocket dimension. Alone. Yeah alone. All alone.
I'm calling this place SCP I don't know, I can't remember where we are, screw it. I don't know what's happened in the past red
light, please, again.
Two months, eight days, sixteen hours.
But no one else is around to argue, and at this point I'm just talking into this control panel to keep myself together. I I need
to keep a record. There might be some poor bastard in the future who ends up like me, and if this ever actually makes it out
maybe, maybe I can help stop that from happening. That's all I have going for me right now, and I really need something to go for,
hahahaha
So, yeah, Robert Scranton documenting a new SCP for future research purposes. That'll have to do. Here we go!
Two months, eleven days, ten hours.
Item number, SCP I don't fucking care.
Object Class, Euclid, I guess, but I don't know, I might update this in time. I need to explore more.
Special Containment Procedures, god I sound so much like a shrink right now Um I don't know if we could contain wherever I am.
It's definitely not on Earth. To be honest I don't know where it is. I I think it has do something with the Stabilizer prototype
I'll explain that more later. Okay um yeah, wherever I am, I don't think it can be contained much as created. No, no, that's not
the word I'm looking for. Um entered. Yeah, entered is better. I came into this place because of some really bad reality-bending
accident and no, no, Robert, don't be like that yet, you don't know if there's no exit yet. Ooooh livin' on a prayer halfway
there. Ahem.
Two months, eleven days, eighteen hours.
So wait, no, Description, Robert, stick to the format This place It's some sort of reality gap, I think. It's dark. Really dark.
As in, this little red light that shows my words are actually being recorded is the only visible light in this entire place. I can't
see my hands, and I can barely see the control panel here. I've had to basically use the light as a center, and remember how many
steps I take and in which direction. I haven't gone past a hundred yet. I'm too I'm too scared to. Heh. I wonder if my hair is
turning white, right now? I can't even see what color it is anymore. Speaking of which, my head has been a bit itchy recently. If I
don't concentrate on it, it's fine, but I feel this tingling all over my face. I'm not sure why.
Two months, fifteen days, four hours.
Okay hoooo I-I need to relax for a minute, Jesus, god, shit. Holy shit, shit, shit I just discovered a new property of this
place. All this time, I've been thinking I might be walking on some sort of flat ground, if you will. I kept eye contact with
little red as far as I could see, and it seems I could walk in a straight, flat path. Jesus, my head is buzzing right now, I think
the adrenaline is still kicking But, if my hypothesis is correct, and this really is some sort of reality void, then there
shouldn't be anything to walk on. Now that I think about, the whole time I've been in here, it's felt like I'm walking, but I'm
also swimming through something. And this something is thick, and form-fitting, it has this pressure, which I know isn't the
correct term, but goddamn it, this place makes no damn sense and I'm doing my best to understand it, okay?!
God Sorry.
So, the best analogy I can come up with is it's like I'm walking through really thick black gel. There's enough tension to keep me
on a "surface", but if I imagine myself pressing down hard enough, I can descend. Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I think I
think I need to test this more, I'll be back.
Two months, seventeen days, two hours.
Navigation is largely affected by conscious impulses to travel in a certain direction. So, this definitely isn't a complete reality
gap, at least according to mine and Anna's theories. If-if it were I wouldn't have been able to move at all, since space wouldn't
have existed. Holy shit, okay, okay, this makes a lot more sense than it did before, great, great job, Robert, you're getting there.
Come to think of it, I should've realized that sooner when I was able to move in a flat plane to and from little red. It also
explains why I'm not dead from dehydration or hunger yet, time barely passes in here. Okay yeah, so, I stood right next to little
red, and went straight "down." Okay, from here on out, imagine little red as the origin of a 3D space. I went straight down,
right, yeah, and then and then I was then able to come back "up" to little red again. I've also been able to "fly" above red.
Movement in here is slow, like I said, gel analogy, best I can describe it by.
Two months, twenty-two-days, three hours.
Reporting back for another update, red, SIR! Hahaha, come on red, lighten up. Ha! Pun not intended Come on red, crack a little
smile, it's funny!
Fine, whatever. Ahem.
This place still seems like it barely follows Kejel's Laws of Reality Parameters. And by barely, I mean, really just barely. I'm
pretty sure my math is right, but hold on, I'm gonna check again
Jesus. Yeah, yeah, pretty sure it's good still. Okay, this place if we're using the standard Hume scale, I'm pretty sure I'm in a
reality where the Hume Field is point zero four ish. Yeah, really, really, really fucking low, so Like I said above, space-time
exists on a very minuscule scale, so my biology is not getting shot to hell and back because of any malnutrition, but that also
means I I'm actually not sure what that also means
Adding on from the last entry. I'm I'm not sure how my biology will react in such a low Hume concentration, actually. I mostly
worked with higher than average Hume Fields, and the reality benders we tested never had a Field lower than 0.8. This this is gonna
be a first. An all-time first. I remember Site-133's "Prommel Killer", they called it that because it broke the previous theory
about the lowest limit of Hume concentration. Really expensive, really weird machine that brought down a small area to 0.4. 0.05 is
yeah.
I was lying. I was lying, last log I I'm lying to myself. My own body, and little red here too We're about the realest things in
this place. And that means over time the Hume field's going to want to equalize, and I'm I'm gonna go for now, I have some
some calculation to do again. Red, Anna, take note I'm using Kejel's Second, Third, and Fourth Laws, got it? Use use 0.05 as the
surrounding, my external field as somewhere in between 1 and 1.4, use the Second Law's error estimation correction, and my internal
as as as shit. I'm not done yet.
I am real. I am super-real. Super duper real. Ultra real, the realest guy in a world of no-real.
You have no sense of humor as usual, red. I'm talking about the LSS, red. When we got sent here, I think I think our reality got
cranked up a notch. Red, didn't you pay attention in class? Hey, don't get fucking smart with me, red. Okay, the point is, the LSS
surge got us up to to
Two months, eighteen days, seven hours.
No, red, not even fucking close, you must've converted Kejel's Third Law equation wrong. Because of the malfunctioning LSS we got
blasted by, we're somewhere in between 2.2 and 3.6. Yes, that's good red, that's very good, because that means we have more time
than we thought to to yes, red, before we fucking DIE, okay?!
Two months, twenty four days, five hours.
About three years. Four, if If I don't interact too much. If If I had had an LSS here, I could maybe stretch it out to eight,
maybe, that's best case scenario But I have I have to I know but but three years. Three years, then it's past the point of no
return. Ha. Hahahahaha. I should I should definitely figure something out by then. I think I still should be pretty good for a
while At least no, no, I won't be in here that long I'll definitely figure something out
Anna, what would we do with a case like this? I need your help, honey. That that tingling I've been feeling That's my Hume Field
diffusing My my reality fading Three years. I need to stabilize myself within three years.
I've been thinking Anna and I, we had this theory Even though the Hume Field is low, it's still a Hume Field. And precisely since
it's so low, Hume diffusion should take quite a while. Now if if I could contain recycle the fields, keep the diffusion from
spreading too thin, I could And I could also maybe it's only a theory, but It's worth a shot. But that means
Hey, red. I I'm gonna have to go for a bit. I want to test something, and you can't come with me. I I'm sorry. No, no, red, I'm
really, really sorry, I want you to come, I do, but if we're together the diffusion will increase faster We both need as much time
as possible. I need to figure this place out more, and you need to make sure you keep all that info in your head. It's red, come
on. You- you'll be fine red, I know you will, you're tough. A lot tougher than me it'll only be for a bit, red, but I need to see
if I can find a way to keep us alive a bit longer. Maybe even get us out of here. If I can contain enough field, I can I can maybe
even get us out. No, no I'm not sure, but I need to find out. Red, we're talking about possibly escaping, okay? Yeah, it's a gap. A
gap should have an end, like a like the walls of a canyon, understand? I need to find a wall, and then, and then I can
I'm sorry, red, I hope we're still friends when I come back.
I'm I'm going now I'll see you soon.

Six months, ten days, five hours.
Hello again, little red. It's been a while.
You know thinking back I don't know what the hell I was so excited about. This place is god, this place. This place is is
fucking hell.
There's no end. It just goes on. And on. And on.
I traveled in one goddamn direction for two, damn, months. God, I'm so fucking stupid, why did I think I could get out? I'm thinking
like those old European shits that thought the end of the world was at the horizon. Fucking stupid, Robert, stupid, just-just-
GAAAAAAAAAAAH—
If I let myself fall down long enough would I eventually hit a bottom?
Ten months, 28 days, 15 hours.

There's no bottom. And fuck you, red.
I'm sorry, red, don't go out, I'm sorry I turned you off, come back, come back, please—
I turned 40 today. Happy birthday, Robert.
I was adopted, did you know that? Yeah, my parents left me in a box on the side of a street. Got picked up by some American couple,
which explains my not-so-Chinese names. I don't even know my original last name. Just thought I'd share. How about you, red?
Anna and I met on-site in 1988. God she was beautiful. She still is. It was our eyes. She has beautiful eyes. My eyes are grey,
they're boring, but hers God they're beautiful. Do you think Do you think she's still worried about me, little red? Is she looking
for me?
You know, red, you're a great listener. But I never hear you talk about yourself. Come on, don't be shy, there's no one else around,
right? Hahaha, right? Hahaha hahahahaha
"I'm sorry, Robert, I'm afraid I can't do that." Hahaha, red, you're hilarious.
Were you married? Kids? Any family at all? Girlfriend? Boyfriend? Come on, red, I won't judge, just talk to me, please. God, my
head hurts. And my feet feel like they've been asleep for forever.
I worked at a comic store as a kid. So much cheaper back then, and I got free stuff at the end of each week. I liked Spiderman the
best.
I was in a box, side of the street.
I what the fuck no. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, red, have you seen my picture? The picture red, Anna's picture, where is - come
on, come on, where-where- Anna! ANNA! ANNA! Where did - no, no, no, no, no, please, please no, anything but, PLEASE.
It's fading, she's fading, she's fading, please, Anna, no, please, come on, sweetie, stay here, it's too soon, it's TOO SOON, my
math isn't wrong, it's NOT WRONG, YOU SHOULD BE FINE. ANNA, ANNA, I can't hold you, come back, Anna, sweetie, honey, Anna please, I
need you, I need you, please, please, don't go, I'm here, I'm still here. RED GET HELP. Anna, please, please, don't go, don't -
Black hair, green eyes, 160. Black hair, green eyes, 160. Black hair, green eyes, 160. Black hair, green eyes, 160. Black hair,
green eyes, 160. Black hair, green eyes, 160. Black hair, green eyes, 160. Black hair, green eyes, 160. Black hair, green eyes, 160.
Black hair, green eyes, 160. [Dr. Scranton repeats this for three hours.]
Anna and I got married in '91. We couldn't really get the nicest suit and dress we wanted because of work, but, damn, we both looked
great. Anna looked better, of course. We just danced, and danced the whole night, got the whole week off. Even a job like mine lets
you enjoy your honeymoon So, come on red, open up, put 'er there, high five. Come on. Come on, red.
One year, two months, twenty-seven days.

AAAAAAA—
[The next recordings only play the control panel's automated voice giving times, with intervals of one to three days, with several
month-long gaps in between as well; also intermixed are Dr. Scranton's sobbing, screaming, and mumbling. These recordings continue
until the time reading reaches two years, seven months, and 28 days, after which they cease to pick up any sound until two months
later.]
[Dr. Scranton's voice is noticeably distorted now. Hypothesized to a combination of both him and the control panel finally showing
signs of reality breakdown.]
Robert cold. I can't I can't feel my legs anymore. I think I'm beginning to Hitting that point I talked about Low Hume Field
Diffusion Equilibrium bunch of stupid garbage
I don't know what's real in here any more. Hell, I'm not sure I'm real. Or something something close to it If If I really am
going out like this, I I I don't want to die yet. I don't want to die yet. Oh, god I don't wanna die yet
I ran up in one straight diagonal line, for six months. I went down in one no I just went down again for eight. There's still no
bottom, red, there's still no bottom.
What have you been up to, Red? Have you been listening for me all this time? You're a stubborn little guy, Red
Lucy.
Huh, Red? Sorry, I must have fell asleep. What did you want? Oh sorry, I-I'll try to remember
Lucy. That's what we wanted to call our kid if we had one. Lucy Scranton, Lucy Lang, Anna and I both thought it would have a nice
ring. I-I- No, Red, I I don't remember picking out a boy's name
"Good morning good morni-i-ing. We've talked the whole through "
Man, I really suck at tap-dancing. Can't feel my feet at all. Okay, you try then, Red.
Kejel's Law states that Hume Fields diffuse, Kejel's Law states that my balls will eventually fall off if this keeps up.
"Anna Anna bo banna " Heh, she hated that song, and I loved to tease her with it. "Anna Anna bo banna banana banana, banana
canna " It actually became a joke between us, did you know? We made it the words that turn you on. [Pause.] Come on, red, act your
age, don't be immature. [Sighs.] Fine, guess you have a sense of humor after all, maybe!
Heheheh, we're gonna have to fuck with so much science when we get out, this place breaks apart rules like my hand is breaking right
now.
Spiderwebs. My left hands. Spiderwebs.
There was a reality-bending spider at Site-120 once. I should crush it. Red, would you crush it for me when we get out?
Average ten, fifteen kilometers a day, plus a few breaks. Thirty, two, thirty, ten, no, eleven, no, no ten, I think. At least, three
hundred left, and and shit no, was faster going down Fuck it, I'm saying about six hundred kilometers down. Took a hell of a lot
longer coming up.
Far down. Bottomless? Infinite? And beyond. Shut up, Robert, you're not funny.
Hume Field, boom field breaking down at a rate of shit, what's the constant of Modified Prommel Relations? Ten to the fourth? No,
no fifth fifth, I think
One year. Maybe add a few more months.
Red, how does David sound? David. You know, you asked about yeah, yeah, that. Sorry I woke you
My my hands. I my hands are going through each other Red. Red! RED! Red, help, help, please, my hands, I can't feel my hands,
they're going through each other like like they're like ice water, Red, I can't, oh god, oh god
Huh huh huh Red You know you know that that stupid magic trick your uncle would show you where he'd pull his thumb off, but it
was really just his other one tucked under?
I just did that. With my real thumb. It didn't even hurt, it just came off. I think Oh, god I'm gonna be sick. I-I- [Sounds of
retching.] I think I think it's just floating right now, and I can't even pick it up, my hand just passes through it, oh god, oh
god, I-I-
My left pinky feels like an onion.
Yeah, it's separated.
NICE TRY HELL, ring's on the RIGHT hand, nice try left.
I can go right through myself I can feel inside me.
It feels warm.
But also cold.
When I sleep my hands go in my head. I'm sleeping on my back now.
Static. I'm like static on a TV.
Chhhk. Chhhhk. Chhhk.
Ha. Hahahaha. Hahahahahahaha. Well, I-I-I only need one kidney, right? RIGHT? RED, RED LOOK AT THIS! Haha. Hahahahahaha
Let me keep my heart, just my heart, that's all I want.
Lucy. David. Are you there? I want to see you.
Lucy. David. That's not fair. Come on, hey, quit messing around, I was joking when I said that, I was joking. COME ON, THAT'S FUCKED
UP, I WAS JOKING.
I'm a man, be a man, Robert, you're a man, WHAT THE FUCK.
Anna Annaaaa
Four years, six months, eighteen days.
I'm not I'm not even doing it myself anymore. I can feel it happening on its own Finally. Finally, I can I still can't say it
I'm I'm still scared
I definitely won't eat anymore now
Still really hungry.
That is fucking disgusting, Robert, and you know it. NO. SEE, RED THINKS SO TOO. NO.
This little piggie went to market.
This little piggie went somewhere.

This little foot. Foot RED?!
Five years, 13 days.
Haha.
Hahahahahahaha
Hahahahahahahahahaha.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Stop it, you're hurting me.
I'm feeling better now, red, sorry.
How do you do it, red? Keep it together? Spill it out, I need some help here I need some help
Red. Come on. Don't do that. Don't go. I know it's hard. I know it's dark. But-but- it's dark and we're together still. Come on.
Red. No. No. You-you can't. RED! Come on, buddy, stay with me, Red! Come on! I can still touch you! I CAN STILL TOUCH YOU LOOK AT ME
RED YOU ARE NOT DYING YET NO RED NO!
[No audio is recorded for the next 9 months.]

File: Scranton SCP-3001 logs, Section 5. Close
Five years, nine months, two days.
Red?
Five years, nine months, three days.

[Automated message repeats 97 more times.]
You little shit, I thought you left me [Dr. Scranton's voice is barely audible/coherent, as if through a heavily distorted, muted
radio.]
Sorry to say, red, but there's not much left here I it's been hard. I've 184. I've tried to kill myself 184 times. It didn't
work. None of them worked. I'm I don't even know how much there is of me anymore. At least one foot, because I can move. Probably
a few leg muscles too, but I'm wobbly. Insides are insides are shit. Still a heart, maybe a lung. This place really won't let me
stop Tired
I did die, red. Come on red, don't look at me like, I don't want your pity and I don't want shock, or anger, or fear, or, or I
can't When 224, I miscounted
One, two, three, four [Dr. Scranton counts from one to 220-245 several times over for the next 13 hours.]
I died. I died, a lot. I tried to suffocate, I tried to snap my neck, I tried to bite myself apart. And and This place. It's not
real. I left, I saw myself, on the ground and I couldn't— I couldn't— I couldn't go anywhere. I couldn't leave. There's no way to
leave, I just floated back down, and each, damn, time, there was less and less of me. I-I- oh, god, how much more can I take away
and still live?
So why are why are you back now? What do you want to tell me?
Five years, nine months, twelve days.
Heh
This place is getting smaller. Red, did you somehow do this? I there's an end here for sure now. It's gone from god knows how long
to There's like a veil further out and when I touched it hurt like hell. Red, what's going on?
It's it's not dark. That border or whatever is getting brighter and, I mean, it's still fucking dark but oh god, I can actually
see something now. I I oh, god, what the fuck is this? I oh, god, I didn't know I was this bad. Oh, god, oh god, oh god, there's
so much gone—
Five years, ten months, ten days.
Red, you're solid. Like, no, you're really fucking solid. You're you're real. And and I'm real too when only when I touch you.
But Red, it it really hurts when I do. I I think that if I touch you I might fall apart
You — really fucking hurt, Red, Jesus Christ, you hurt, what the fuck is going on?
About three kilometer in radius, and closing. Is this is this something like Kejel's Fourth Law? But but what the hell is taking
it? Hey! HEY! I'm in here still stop! You're causing a collapse! HEY! HEY!
Two kilometers. Oh god, what's gonna happen when it closes? DAMMIT, RED YOU HURT!
Not collapsing. Waves. They're waves What?

Robert, you are a goddamn genius. Not walls, windows. Open windows.
Five years, ten months, twenty-eight days.
Anna, Anna can you hear me? These waves this place Okay, imagine, two realities as two pieces of paper stuck together. This place
is the space squished between. There should be only two realities, parallel, but this place is a tiny, but infinite third third
in-between, like what would happen if you fell into a hole crossing a bridge from Point A to Point B! Remember Class-C Wormholes?
Those theories about a wormhole that was full of goddamn holes. I think I think this is where one of those holes leads. It doesn't
lead to a different universe, it leads to nothing. A dead end. This place is a dead end. Class-C "Broken Entry".
These waves. Wherever they're coming from, they're from some parallel reality interacting with this place, displacing this in-
between place every so slightly. And they're all pushing on me and red, because since we still have some level of reality, they're
pushing, or or sucking us towards them, gradually creating a new wormhole towards towards home.
What's going to happen to me when I go back? When the window closes?
Think, dammit, Robert, think. You've got to think! Think harder! THINK HARDER!
Red, I'm gonna, ah, I'm gonna have to, Jesus- gah, I'm gonna have to move away from you, you, I don't know, you're sick or
something, you're really messed up right now. Call me when you're feeling better.
I can't I can't think right Blood. Blood. There's way too much ha
Drip, drip, drip, where does it allllllll . gooooooooooooo [Retching noises.]
I haven't [Retching noises.] tasted barf in forever. Not even when I threw up after my my you're a man, Robert.
Oh, god. Oh god not again, not again, not again— [Retching.]
[Voice breaks.] How ? How ? How can I be throwing up this much, red, tell me I don't [Retching.] I don't even have a stomach to
hold it in anymore And the bleeding never stops [Dr. Scranton breaks down into crying for the next two hours.]
Be- [Retching.] better now. Thinking.. straight
Red, I I don't know if I'm ready to go back anywhere yet
Five years, eleven months, three days.
No, red, I'm not being selfish, it wasn't you, it was these goddamn waves coming in. I can't be near them. Red, look, look at me.
See this? Red, look at me. LOOK. I can't be near them, they'll kill me. I passed the three years quite a while back, remember?
Because, even even after all this time I don't want to die, red. I'm still scared. [Voice breaks.] Red, I am scared, okay? You
wouldn't understand, you're not you're not human, red.
Oh I'm sorry for offending you, red. No, red, come on, I didn't mean it like that. Red, look at me. You're my friend, do you get
that? You are, my best friend. But let's face it, you've got a much better chance of getting out of here a— . Just leave me alone,
please, red? Just for a bit I'm sorry, okay? I really am
Can you hear the waves coming in, red? That little hum and shake as it hits your ears? I can. And it's getting louder every time,
and it hurts so bad. [Begins to sob quietly.] It hurts so bad.[4]
4. No audible hum is picked up by the control panel at the time. It is believed that the frequency was too low to be detected.
No No, no, no, no, no NO. NO. NO. Why? Why?! Just let me go, let me go LET ME GO DAMMIT, oh god [Sobbing.]
[Sobbing groan.] Another five years. Five more years. If this keeps up, I'm getting re-stabilized for another FIVE FUCKING GODDAMN
YEARS, RED WHAT DO I DO?!
[Over the next five days, the control panel does begin to pick up a low frequency hum that comes in pulses. The volume increases
steadily, and as it does, Dr. Scranton can be heard screaming, crying, and speaking incoherently in the background.]
[Voice is noticeably shaky.] Red.
[At this point the background humming noise is picked up at a rate of 20 pulses/min.]
Five years, eleven months, nine days.
Help. [Loud splattering noise heard as something strikes what is assumed to be the control panel.]
[Complete silence for five days. Pulses increase in volume, as well as frequency to 30 per minute.]
[Loud splattering noise.]
Red. [Dr. Scranton's voice is extremely slurred, almost incomprehensible.]
Red.
Red, give me your leg, I need support.
Red, give me your lever, arm. HAND!
Red, I need to see better, give me your light, no sorry, no, no light needed, got it, sorry, something else.
Anna.
I want pretty eyes. Anna, Anna, give me your eye, I only have one.
Anna, Anna, give me your lips, I want to kiss you again.
Anna, Anna, give me your tongue, I'm — I'm huhnunnnnnn-gry. [Clicks tongue multiple times. Breaks down into a mix of quiet laughter
and sobbing.]
Anna Anna, spare a toe? Wobbly.
ANNA, GIVE ME YOUR BRAIN, I ONLY HAVE HALF.
[Humming measured at 46 pulses a minute.]
[Sobbing.]
[Whispering.] I'm sorry, Anna, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry I'm so scary, I'm so sorry [Sobbing.]
Anna [Voice breaks.] Anna, can I hold your hand, I lost my ring [Sobbing.]
[Whispering.] It's okay, baby, it's okay I'll find another way out There's still enough of me left to [Shaky laughter as voice
breaks.] Another five years five more years to figure something something out [Laughter breaks down into crying that gradually
goes silent over the next hour.]
[Quiet sobbing.] Not yet, red please I know you want to go I'm not ready yet I'm not I'm not [Splattering noise heard.]
I love you, red. I love you, Anna.
Five years, eleven months, twenty days.

[Hum is now up to 60 pulses/min.]
[Quiet sob.] A nna [Dr. Scranton's speech pattern is almost regular.] [Loud metallic bang heard followed by splattering noise as
something strikes the control panel once again.]
Five years, eleven months, twenty-one days.
On December 23, 2005, the LSS Control Panel spontaneously appeared back within the Site-120 testing facility, Reality Lab A.
Doctor, initial Hume Field readings of the Anchor are stable. Output readings are 2.3, with a 0.001% fluctuation.
Good, Skinner, let's hope that holds.
Hold on. What the hell?
What's wrong?
Something has appeared inside the testing zone.
What?
Ma'am, a large object has materialized within the Anchor field. What's the call? Kill the power? Call in the team?
Skinner, what the hell are you- Oh my god. What the— where the hell did that thing come from?!
I don't know ma'am, it just — it just appeared out of nowhere. It it looks like it's covered in what the hell is that— [Gags.] Oh
god, it smells awful, I can smell it from here, Jesus Christ—
[Gags.] It smells like death, it's like vomit and — and blood, and and
Ma'am?
Oh my god.
Ma'am?
Do not abort, Skinner, I repeat, do not abort, keep that field up, and do not abort!
Ma'am, what's going on? Ma'am? Ma'am!
Reduce Hume Field to 1.7, I'm entering the containment zone, do not disengage the field, or we risk destabilizing the object!
Uh, yes ma'am! [Mechanical whirring heard.] Uh, reporting, yes, this is Dr. Matthew Skinner, requesting

Oh, god, what the hell, what — what is all this? This this is this is the Oh, god. Robert? Robert?! Robert, is this you? Oh, god,
please, please, no, don't let it be you, don't let it be you, Robert?! I thought, I thought — How can this thing be—? [Splashing
footsteps heard again.]

Ma'am? Ma'am? What are you doing, you shouldn't touch —
This is the Lang Scranton Stabilizer interface. Welcome back, Dr. Lang, what would you like to—
Access Audio Log, play back starting from January 2, 2000! [Squishing noise heard.] Oh god, oh god, what the hell happened to this
thing, it's like someone exploded on it, it's like — [Gag.] That's oh god is that is that oh god, oh god, please, please, no,
please, don't be — [Gasp, then sob.] It's grey, his grey, oh, god, where's the other ?

Ma'am you really shouldn't be touching that barehanded, it could be hazardous, you should wait for the cleaning team to—
There's so much blood here, there's so much, honey. Are you okay?! Where did you go?! Oh god, oh god, oh god [Sound of splattering
and squeaking, as if wiping away fluid.] Oh, god, there's so much blood [Squishing noise.] What ? Oh my [Choking gasp, then

Item #: SCP-3008
Special Containment Procedures: The retail park containing SCP-3008 has been purchased by the Foundation and converted into Site- .
All public roads leading to or passing by Site- have been redirected.
The entrance to SCP-3008 is to be monitored at all times, and no one is to enter SCP-3008 outside of testing, as permitted by the
Senior Researcher.
Humans exiting SCP-3008 are to be detained and then debriefed prior to the administration of amnestics. Dependent upon the duration of
their stay in SCP-3008, a cover story may need to be generated prior to their release.
Any other entities exiting SCP-3008 are to be terminated.
Description: SCP-3008 is a large retail unit previously owned by and branded as IKEA, a popular furniture retail chain. A person
entering SCP-3008 through the main entrance and then passing out of sight of the doors will find themselves translocated to SCP-3008-
1. This displacement will typically go unnoticed as no change will occur from the perspective of the victim; they will generally not
become aware until they try to return to the entrance.
SCP-3008-1 is a space resembling the inside of an IKEA furniture store, extending far beyond the limits of what could physically be
contained within the dimensions of the retail unit. Current measurements indicate an area of at least 10km2 with no visible external
terminators detected in any direction. Inconclusive results from the use of laser rangefinders has led to the speculation that the
space may be infinite.
SCP-3008-1 is inhabited by an unknown number of civilians trapped within prior to containment. Gathered data suggests they have formed
a rudimentary civilisation within SCP-3008-1, including the construction of settlements and fortifications for the purpose of
defending against SCP-3008-2.
SCP-3008-2 are humanoid entities that exist within SCP-3008-1. While superficially resembling humans they possess exaggerated and
inconsistent bodily proportions, often described as being too short or too tall. They possess no facial features and in all observed
cases wear a yellow shirt and blue trousers consistent with the IKEA employee uniform.
SCP-3008-1 has a rudimentary day-night cycle, determined by the overhead lighting within the space activating and deactivating at
times consistent with the opening and closing times of the original retail store. During the "night" instances of SCP-3008-2 will
become violent towards all other lifeforms within SCP-3008-1. During these bouts of violence they have been heard to vocalise phrases
in English that are typically variations of "The store is now closed, please exit the building". Once "day" begins SCP-3008-2
instances immediately become passive and begin moving throughout SCP-3008-1 seemingly at random. They are unresponsive to questioning
or other verbal cues in this state, though will react violently if attacked.
SCP-3008-1 is known to have one or more exits located within though these exits do not appear to have a fixed position, making it
difficult to leave SCP-3008-1 once inside. Using any other door besides the main entrance to enter the structure or breaking through
the walls of the retail unit leads into the non-anomalous interior of the original store.
Since containment began 14 individuals have managed to exit SCP-3008. Following extensive debriefing all individuals have been
administered amnestics and released.
Incident 3008-1: At 00:37 on / /200 a human male exited SCP-3008, followed 10 seconds later by an instance of SCP-3008-2. SCP-
3008-2 caught and killed the man before itself being terminated by armed response personnel. This incident represents the only time an
instance of SCP-3008-2 has been seen exiting SCP-3008. A full autopsy on the corpse was performed; see 3008-2 Autopsy Log for more
details.
The man was carrying an IKEA-branded journal seeming to document his time in SCP-3008-1, transcribed below verbatim.
Transcription of journal recovered from Incident 3008-1 Close Journal
So, I'm writing this to document what I can only assume is my sudden descent into insanity. I can't possibly be THAT bad a
navigator, and yet as I write this I've been trapped in Ikea for 2 days. I haven't seen another person in the entire time I've been
here. I thought it was a prank at first. Turn the place into a maze, get all the people out and see how long it takes me to get
lost, then everyone has a good old laugh. Realised that wasn't the case when I tried to backtrack. Everything had changed, so I
ended up lost. Instead of the exit, it was just row after row of bookcases.
So, I'm trapped in Ikea. Sounds like the setup for a bad joke. The lights went out at 10pm. Nearly gave me a fucking heart attack,
that loud electrical THUNK sound and then pitch blackness. Place is full of beds though and my phone has a torch on it - but no damn
signal - so I found a bed and went to sleep. Spent most of the next day trying to find my way out with no luck. Did find a
restaurant serving those meatballs though, so at least I won't starve. That's probably the punchline to that joke. Anyway they were
still warm and fresh, but I haven't seen anyone around who could have cooked them. Made my way back to the beds before the lights
cut out again since it's too dark to search with them off.
It's 9.10am now, the lights came back on a little while ago. I'm sure I've searched the entire area around where I came in now and
the exit obviously isn't here, so I'm going to pick a direction and hope for the best.
Day 3 of my magical Ikea mystery adventure. If I wasn't sure that there was something seriously weird about this place before, I am
now. Walked for 3 hours in a more or less straight line (insert Ikea joke here) before I came across a ladder next to one of those
huge stock shelves they have here. Climbed up to get my bearings, and it looks like this place just stretches on forever. Like that
scene from the Lion King, except instead of trees and grass it was all shelves and tables and crap. I did see a person moving not
too far away though, so I headed over.
Thought it was a staff member at first - it was wearing the uniform. And hell maybe it was, maybe freakish 7ft tall monsters with
long arms, short legs and no faces are just the kinds of thing they want working at Super Ikea. Damn thing completely ignored me
though, and with no eyes or ears I can't even be sure it knew I was there. Thought about shoving it or something to get its
attention, but its hands were big enough to crush a water melon so I decided against it. It just kept moving along and eventually I
lost sight of it so I decided to carry on the way I was going.
Anyway, no comfy bed for me tonight. Looks like I've entered the Improbably Hard and Pointy Table section of the store. Guess I'll
have to make do with some bunched up tablecloths. Phone battery died during the day too. Didn't work anyway, but I feel like I've
just lost some vital lifeline.
You ever see one of those cartoons where they're going through doors in a hallway and they just pop out of another door in the same
hallway? That's how I feel right now. I've seen nothing but the same identical bookshelf for 2 days now. Just row after row after
row of them. I mean, come on. I love books as much as the next guy, but this is excessive. I'm obviously still moving forwards
though, I can see the signs hanging overhead passing by. Too bad none of them say "Exit".
Not sure who I was addressing that question to. Lets just say it was practice for the autobiography I'm going to write when I get
out of here. I'll call it "My perfectly normal trip to a regular old Ikea".
If I ever get out o
Finally found some other people! Yeah, turns out I'm not the only poor bastard trapped in here. Lucky for me, I guess. My 6th night
here, 2 of those staff things came at me in the dark. Different from the first one I saw, but still messed up. Heard them coming,
they were saying that the store was closed and I had to leave the building, all nice and polite like. I'm not sure which part of
that was weirder, that they don't have mouths or that they were apparently trying to kill me while they were saying it. Came at me
like rabid dogs.
So, I legged it. Sprinting through ikea in the dark like a fucking madman. I saw it when I cleared another stand of those giant
stock shelves, all lit up with torches and floodlights. They've built a whole town in here! Got a massive wall built out of shelves
and beds and tables and whatever else. I swear to god it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Anyway I guess they saw me
coming (or maybe they heard my girlish manly bellows of fear), because they had a gate open and 2 people were there waving me in.
Heard the staff things slam into the gate behind me after it closed, still politely informing us all that the store was now closed.
They wandered off eventually though.
They call the town Exchange, because that's whats on the sign hanging from the ceiling directly above it. Exchange and Returns. All
lit up against the night using lights they've found and plugged into the power lines. And there are beds and food and people. Over
50 wonderful people with regular sized limbs and a full set of facial features. It's now my 7th night here, and the first one not
spent in darkness. A full week living in Ikea. There's probably a TV show in that somewhere.
Now that I'm around other people, I'm starting to feel more normal. Maybe normal isn't the word. But after a week with only the
sound of my own footsteps for company, I was becoming increasingly sure that I'd just gone nuts. That I was tied up in some padded
room somewhere, banging my head against the wall. But no, I feel quite sane now, thank you very much!
Apparently there are other towns out there. Some with more people, some with less. I found that fairly mind-boggling - how can that
many people go missing with no one noticing. Surely someone would have noticed that everyone who goes to ikea seems to fucking
vanish. Or maybe it's not everyone. Maybe we're just the lucky ones.
The people here just call those staff monster things the Staff. Apparently they are fine during the day, minding their own business
walking the aisles. As soon as those lights go out though, they go fucking bonkers. So during the day people go out to find food,
water and whatever else they need. Apparently there are restaurants and shops around that randomly get restocked. No one knows how.
Maybe the staff do it. Apparently they aren't very good at their jobs though because the restocking sometimes takes a while, which
means the food needs to be rationed. Maybe if they weren't so busy chasing people around in the dark they'd get more done.
Anyway when night comes the staff go nuts and everyone holds up inside the walls. Apparently it's the same everywhere in this place,
whatever this place is. The Ur-Ikea, from whence all other Ikeas sprang. Or maybe we're all still just in the regular ikea and this
is all some fever dream brought on by mind-numbing boredom. Who knows.
Been here for 10 days now. Most of the people I asked said they stopped keeping track a long time ago and one guy, Chris, said he'd
been in here for years.
Years.
[ILLEGIBLE SCRIBBLES]
Apparently there are rumours of people who do manage to get out. And of people who see the exit, only to have it vanish before their
very eyes. I get the feeling not everyone believes that, but I do. Explains how we got stuck in here in the first place (sort of).
And I mean, come on. Staff monsters, row after endless row of high quality Swedish furniture. I don't know why they would find a
disappearing door so hard to believe in.
Anyway, I went out scavenging for food at a nearby shop with Sandra and Jerry today. Once you learn the landmarks of this place it's
not so hard to navigate. The overhead signs help a lot, but there are others; not too far in the distance a huge section of those
giant stock shelves has collapsed against each other and way off in the east (we all assume it's east anyway - apparently Ikea
doesn't sell compasses) is some kind of tower that looks like its made of wood, reaches all the way to the ceiling. Maybe they were
trying to break out through the roof. Lights up at night so there must be people there, but its apparently a few days walk (which
means it must be miles away) so no one here really knows for sure. Apparently I got incredibly lucky sleeping out in the open for a
week without getting ripped to bits by the staff. That's me. Lucky lucky lucky.
We found some food in the shop. Guess the staff restocked it during the night, which was nice of them. There was a telephone on the
wall, so I figured I'd try it out. There was a voice on the other end, but they were just talking nonsense. Random words strung
together with no real meaning. You ever see a video of someone with aphasia? Kind of sounded like that. Didn't answer me when I
spoke to them anyway. Sandra says all the phones in here are the same.
Oops, asking the journal questions again!
I was thinking last night. The ceiling on this place is pretty high and as far as anyone can tell it goes on forever. Shouldn't
there be some kind of weather in here? I'm sure I read about some NASA building that was so big it had its own weather patterns,
with clouds and stuff. This place is definitely bigger than that, but now that I think about it I'm pretty sure I've never felt so
much as a temperature change in here.
I'll add it to the Grand List of Weird Bullshit.
The staff attacked the Exchange last night. Must have been 20 or 30 of them all just asking us to leave the store calm as you like,
while trying to smash the walls down with their bare hands. Apparently this happens pretty regularly, so everyone is prepared for
it. Knives from the restaurants, lawn mower blades made into hatchets, a fire axe. One guy, Wasim, even made a functional crossbow.
Anyway the walls have holes in them, which I hadn't noticed before, specifically so we can stab out at the staff when they attack.
Took a couple of them down myself. They don't seem to bleed, which is weird, but they go down as easy as a regular person once you
start sticking holes in them.
We had to haul the bodies away in the morning. Apparently the dead ones will attract more during the night, so we had to get them
away from Exchange. We have a couple of those trolley things they use to move big boxes around, so we loaded them up and took them
over to Pickup. Apparently people just name everything in here after whatever sign is hanging overhead.
Pickup was grisly. There were hundreds, maybe thousands of dead staff all piled up. There was no smell, which was a blessing.
Apparently in addition to not bleeding, these things don't rot either. My curiosity got the better of me while we were unloading
them, so I took a look at one of the more cut-up ones. They're just skin, or something that looks like skin, all the way through. No
muscle, no bone, no organs. Are they even really alive in the first place? They certainly seem like they have bones when they are
moving around, pounding on the walls. And I'm sure I felt more resistance than just skin when the knife went in during the night.
Maybe something happens to them when they die. Just one more thing on the ever-increasing list of Weird Shit that goes on in here, I
guess.
Something occurred to me, after the staff attack the other night. Every time you see a situation like this on TV or in a film, like
its the end of the world or everyone is trapped on an island or whatever, once groups like ours start to form people always seem to
turn on each other. Fighting for food or dominance or whatever else. That hasn't happened here. Apparently people from other towns
come by from time to time, just to check in or occasionally to trade if they are short on something. But everything is always
cordial. Friendly, even. Maybe its the threat of the staff, or perhaps the constant restocking of supplies in the shops means
there's nothing much to fight over.
Maybe people are just better than they are generally given credit for. That's a nice thought. I think I'll go with that one.
A dozen people showed up at the gates this afternoon from a town called Trolleys. Apparently the staff broke through the walls and
tore the town apart during the night. These 12 are the only survivors out of over a hundred. We let them in, obviously. One more
point in the human decency column. Later, I asked if anyone knew how many of these towns there were out there. Between us and the
new folks, we managed to come up with over 20 names. 20 towns filled with people, and who knows how many beyond that.
The motto for this place should be "How Is That Even Possible". Surely someone, somewhere must be looking for the thousands of
people that must be in here.
I've been here for a little over 2 months now. Not that much changes, as it turns out. A couple of new people showed up, same story
as the rest of us. Nice little trip to Ikea and suddenly they're trapped in Billy Bookcase's House of Faceless Weirdos. The staff
attack the Exchange once or twice a week. We kill them and haul their bodies off, sometimes they hurt some of us first. They killed
a guy called Jared a couple of weeks back. It was awful, frankly. Turns out regular humans still bleed in here, even if the staff
don't. We tried our best, but none of us are doctors.
Jared was a good guy. He deserved better. We all do.
It occurred to me a couple of days after that, none of us were really looking for a way out of here. I don't even know where we'd
start.
One of those quad copter things with a camera attached buzzed passed Exchange today. I thought it meant that someone was finally
looking for us, that help was on the way. Apparently it's not the first time this has happened, though. Same thing happened a few
months ago, and everyone is still here.
No idea if it saw us, it didn't stop if it did. Just kept flying until we could no longer see it.
Note: Based on recovery time of the journal, this entry appears to line up approximately with our first successful test piloting a
drone inside SCP-3008-1. Analysis of footage shows a walled settlement under a sign labelled "Exchange and Returns". Attempts to
relocate the settlement failed. Origin of previously sighted drones is unknown.
I started talking to people about the stuff they miss from home during dinner today. Probably not the best idea I've ever had,
everyone seemed pretty down after. A bunch of people here have families. Husbands and wives, kids. Dogs. Franklin apparently has a
pet llama, though I'm not sure I buy that.
But apparently some of the people here have some seriously odd gaps in their knowledge. 3 of them had never heard of the
International Space Station, 2 of them seemed to think was the Prime Minister, and one of them had apparently never
heard of the Statue of Liberty. I believe them, too. They seemed just as confused as the rest of us.
The more I thought about it though, the more it started to explain a few things. What if the reason no one is looking for all us
missing people is because we haven't all come from the same place. This is going to sound weird (maybe that should be the motto for
this place) but what if all the people here have come from different dimensions? Realities? Whatever you call it. I've seen enough
TV shows to know the drill. Sarah comes from a place where there is no Statue of Liberty. They didn't launch a space station where
Wasim is from. If everyone here came from different places, even from ones that seem identical, there'd be no huge missing persons
panic. No mass search. We'd just be a blip, a single missing person in a world of non-stop news.
Well. That was a fun train of thought.
Just realised that yesterday was the six month anniversary of my arrival here. I wonder if Ikea sells party hats. The routine around
here has remained more or less the same. More new folk show up, one every couple of weeks or so. Food supplies go up and down, but
we've never actually had a major shortage. Occasionally we get a visitor from one of the nearby towns, usually Checkouts or Aisle
630. We check in with each other from time to time, occasionally trade supplies if someone gets particularly low on something. It's
comforting, in a way. A reminder that we aren't alone in here, some small glimmer of civilisation. Sometimes they bring medical
supplies. Apparently there's a pharmacy a few towns down from Checkouts that gets restocked every now and then, so they share out
what they can. I've never heard of an Ikea with a pharmacy before but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if someone stumbled on
an Ikea Organ Harvesting Lab. Would certainly explain the staff.
Speaking of our faceless jailers, their attacks have been getting worse lately. 3 or 4 times a week now, with twice as many staff as
there used to be. No idea where they all come from, or why the attacks have increased. We tried following one of them during the day
a few weeks ago, me and Sarah. Wanted to see if they lead back to a staff room or something. Didn't seem to go anywhere though, just
randomly walked through the aisles. We had to turn back before we found anything.
We've been reinforcing the walls, trying to arm ourselves better. Certainly no lack of materials to use. Wasim has been making more
crossbows, but it's pretty slow going.
Too bad Ikea doesn't sell guns.
Note: No new personnel have entered SCP-3008 at Site- in the time span indicated in this entry.
The attacks are getting bad now. Almost every night, and with so many staff that the bodies almost pile high enough for others to
climb the walls. I think we're in real trouble here.
Exchange is
I think Exchange is done. We got hit pretty bad last night. Not many casualties, but the wall is wrecked. We finally figured out why
the attacks had been escalating, too. A box of supplies had a chunk of one of the staff in there. No idea how it happened but
apparently a piece of one will draw them as well as a full body. Too late now in any case, there's too many bodies for us to haul
away and still have time to fix the wall before night. Candace has called a meeting. I suspect there will be talk of abandoning
Exchange, maybe try and get shelter at Checkouts or something.
It's already getting late though. I don't think we'll have time to make it. Maybe some of us will. I was fine for that first week
out in the dark, after all. But then, how often can I keep getting lucky.
I'm only writing this for a sense of closure, I guess. For me, or for anyone who finds this. If this is the final entry here, I hope
whoever is reading this is doing so from outside of this place.
My biggest fear? If I do die tonight, I'll just wake up here again in the morning.
Note: This is the last entry. It is assumed that while attempting to reach the "Checkouts" settlement he was separated from the rest
of his group by a pursuing SCP-3008-2 instance and happened upon the exit.

Item #: SCP-3045
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3045's installation package is to be stored on a flash-drive, which is to be kept in a secured locker on-site.
Researchers may install SCP-3045 on an isolated computer for testing purposes. Once testing is concluded, this computer is to be destroyed (along with
all of its peripheral components). Any computers, buildings, or facilities containing SCP-3045 must be TEMPEST-certified[1].
1. A certification indicating that equipment and/or structures are insulated from 'leakage' of data via electromagnetic or acoustic emissions. For more information, personnel with
appropriate clearance may consult documentation for SCP-2639.
Under no circumstances should SCP-3045 be used on any media file that directly references bees.
Description: SCP-3045 is an anomalous application ('bzzip.exe') that reduces the size of certain types of media (plain text, rich text, MOV, AVI, and
MP4). It accomplishes this by producing a new file with trimmed, 'simplified' content. This file can then be reduced further; however, after a certain
number of iterations, the result will be a file that contains little to no data. Additional attempts at reduction will only reproduce this final file.

DESCRIPTION: An MP4 file containing the entirety of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (the original theatrical release).
FOREWORD: Researcher Rogers was tasked to watch each iteration and provide a summary of notable differences.
Iteration 1
MAIN CHARACTERS: Indiana Jones, Henry Jones, Elsa Schneider, Sallah, Walter Donovan, Colonel Vogel, Grail Knight
SUMMARY: The movie opens with Walter Donovan asking Indiana to find the grail; he mentions that his father (Henry) was asked before him, but has since
disappeared. Jones departs to Venice; there, he meets Elsa. Together, they discover the hidden knight's tomb that refers them to Alexandretta. Elsa
and Indiana manage to rescue Indy's father at Castle Brunwald, only to be captured by Colonel Vogel. Elsa reveals herself to be a traitor. Indy and
Henry escape, then — after meeting up with Sallah — fight against Nazi forces (defeating Colonel Vogel) on their way to Alexandretta. At the grail
temple, Donovan reveals himself to have been a traitor and shoots Indy's father, forcing Indy to confront the three trials to save him. Once Indy
passes these trials, Elsa and Donovan follow him. Confronted by the Grail Knight, Indy is told he must select the right grail — and that the grail
cannot leave the temple. Donovan appears, and Elsa goads him into choosing the wrong grail (resulting in his death). Indy selects the right grail and
uses it to heal his father. Elsa attempts to leave the temple with the grail, resulting in the temple's collapse (and her death). Indy, his father,
and Sallah all ride off into the sunset.
NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: Marcus Brody and Kazim are gone, as is the sub-plot with the Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword. There is no mention of Henry's
journal at any point in the story — they never go to Berlin to retrieve it, and never board a zeppelin to escape Germany. The entire opening sequence
(with Indy pursuing the Cross of Coronado both as a teenager and as an adult) has been cut. The dialogue has been significantly simplified in many
places, with extraneous dialogue mostly removed.
RUN-TIME: 85 minutes
Iteration 2
MAIN CHARACTERS: Indiana Jones, Henry Jones, Elsa Schneider, Colonel Vogel, Grail Knight
SUMMARY: The movie opens with Indiana meeting Elsa in Venice, where they discover the hidden knight's tomb and learn the grail is in Alexandretta.
They decide to save Indy's father at Castle Brunwald, but Elsa betrays them to Colonel Vogel; they flee to Alexandretta. When Indy reaches the temple,
Colonel Vogel takes the place of Walter Donovan — shooting Indy's father, then following him into the grail room (and being goaded by Elsa into
choosing the wrong grail). Elsa once again attempts to leave the temple with the grail, resulting in its collapse; the movie ends with Indy and his
father riding off into the sunset.
NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: Walter Donovan and Sallah are gone, along with the tank battle. The three trials are now two trials (the 'Name of God' trial has
been cut).
Iteration 3
MAIN CHARACTERS: Indiana Jones, Elsa Schneider, Colonel Vogel, Grail Knight
SUMMARY: The movie opens with Indiana meeting Elsa in Venice, where he tells her he knows the grail's location: Alexandretta. Colonel Vogel suddenly
steps out of Elsa's closet, revealing Elsa as a traitor. Indiana escapes, fleeing to Alexandretta; there, he's confronted by Elsa and Vogel again.
Vogel shoots Elsa, forcing Indy to retrieve the grail. Indy retrieves two grails, giving the wrong one to Vogel (leading to Vogel's death). Indy uses
the real grail to restore Elsa's life. Elsa attempts to leave with the grail; the temple collapses, and she dies. The movie ends with Indiana riding
off alone into the sunset.
NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: Henry Jones is gone; there is only one trial ("Leap of Faith"). The ending has a much more somber tone at the end, with Indiana
saying nothing after Elsa's death.
Iteration 4
MAIN CHARACTERS: Indiana Jones, Elsa Schneider, Grail Knight
SUMMARY: The movie opens with Indiana meeting Elsa in Venice, where he tells her he knows the grail's location: Alexandretta. They leave for
Alexandretta, where Indy and Elsa enter the temple and retrieve the grail from the Grail Knight. Elsa attempts to leave with the grail, causing the
temple to collapse (and leading to her death). Indiana rides off alone into the sunset.
NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: Colonel Vogel is gone. There are no trials, and only one grail in the final room. The Grail Knight has only one line, where he
warns them they cannot leave the temple with the grail.
RUN-TIME: 6 minutes
Iteration 5
MAIN CHARACTERS: Indiana Jones, Grail Knight
SUMMARY: The movie opens with Indiana entering the temple in Alexandretta. He encounters the Grail Knight, who informs him that the grail cannot be
taken from the temple. Indiana thanks the Grail Knight for telling him this, then rides off into the sunset.
NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: Elsa is gone. Indy has two lines ("I'm here for the grail", and "Thank you for telling me about the grail"); the Grail Knight has
one ("The grail cannot leave this temple").
RUN-TIME: 1 minute
Iteration 6
MAIN CHARACTERS: Indiana Jones
SUMMARY: The movie opens with Indiana riding on a horse in the desert, reading from a book. He reads: "The Holy Grail cannot be removed from the
temple in Alexandretta." He closes the book, looks at the temple in front of him, nods solemnly — then turns around and rides off into the sunset.
RUN-TIME: Less than 1 minute
Iteration 7
MAIN CHARACTERS: Indiana Jones
SUMMARY: The movie opens (and ends) with Indiana riding off into the sunset.
RUN-TIME: Less than 15 seconds
Iteration 8
MAIN CHARACTERS: None
SUMMARY: The movie consists of a black screen with a soft buzzing sound.
RUN-TIME: 3 seconds
DESCRIPTION: A plain text file containing the entirety of Samuel Becket's tragicomedy, Waiting for Godot.

DESCRIPTION: A MOV file containing the entirety of Bee Movie, an animated film by DreamWorks Animation.
FOREWORD: Researcher Xiao-jin was tasked to watch each iteration and provide a summary of notable differences.
Iteration 1
MAIN CHARACTERS: Barry B. Benson, Vanessa Bloome, Ken, Pollen Jocks
SUMMARY: Barry B. Benson (a bee) is a non-conformist who has just graduated college. Spurning the job assigned to him by bee-society, he goes out with
a group of 'Pollen Jocks' (also bees), where he encounters Vanessa (a human florist) and Ken (her boyfriend). Ken attempts to kill him, but Vanessa
saves his life. Barry later returns and expresses his thanks to Vanessa; the two begin a relationship. After Barry discovers that humans harvest honey
from bees, he sues the human race — and, after a series of mishaps, wins the trial. However, as a result of having too much honey (?), bees all lose
their jobs — resulting in flowers all over the world dying out. Barry and Vanessa travel to a city in California where the only remaining flowers
survive, and steal a parade float full of flowers (??) so bees can use them to re-pollinate the world. Barry and the other bees use the flowers to
reverse the damage, and the movie ends with all the bees working together with the humans.
NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: None.
Iteration 2
MAIN CHARACTERS: (see previous)
SUMMARY: Barry B. Benson works with the 'Pollen Jocks' to gather pollen for Vanessa (who is now a human-sized bee). Ken (still a human) is in a
relationship with Vanessa, and becomes jealous of the attention Barry receives for being so good at fetching pollen. Ken attacks Barry, but Barry and
the Pollen Jocks swarm him and sting him to death. They all die afterward, but a new group of bees (with identical faces and names) quickly arrive to
take their place. Vanessa appears alright with this; she shows New!Barry the same attention she gave Dead!Barry. The movie goes on with New!Barry
suing the humans for stealing their honey — but near the end, the jury and judge are revealed to now all be Ken. The trial ends with New!Barry and a
swarm of bees swooping up and stinging the jury and judge to death. A New!New!Barry arrives, and — together with Vanessa — they travel to California
to steal the parade boat of flowers and use it to expand their hive all over the world. The movie ends like the previous iteration, except all the
humans are now human-sized bees too (for some reason?).
NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: This is almost a completely different movie. It's definitely not for kids anymore. The deaths are cartoonish, but still kind of
gruesome.
Iteration 3
MAIN CHARACTERS: (see previous)
SUMMARY: Effectively the same plot, except Ken's death (both early on and in the court scene) is more extensive, more gruesome, and takes more time.
NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: Everyone except for Ken is now a bee. All scenes where Ken is stung to death now involve multiple human-sized bees stinging him
(and dying in the process). All the dialogue in the movie (except for Ken's, which mostly consists of screaming) has been replaced with buzzing
noises.
Iteration 4
MAIN CHARACTERS: Ken, bees (?)
SUMMARY: The movie consists of an above-view image of Ken writhing in an ocean of bees. Every time he opens his mouth, hundreds of bees pour into it.
By the end of the film, his body has become swollen with venom from thousands of stingers; his facial features have all but vanished beneath a dozen
fist-sized pustules oozing with pus. Blind and helpless, his screams are now just muffled, gurgling sobs. He appears to spend the last few minutes of
the movie suffocating as his throat finally swells shut — only to finally sink out of sight.
NOTABLE DIFFERENCES: The film has become live-action; the bees are just normal honey-bees, and Ken is now portrayed by the actor who voiced him
(Patrick Warburton).
Iteration 5
NOTE: At this point, further testing was discontinued on account of Researcher Xiao-jin's computer inexplicably filling with bees.
Special containment procedures updated to prohibit any tests on media containing direct references to bees.
Addendum 3045.2: Recovery
On 16-02-2010, a Foundation-operated web-analysis bot (I/O-SAURON) flagged several large-scale online purchases made by a California startup company
("HiveFind") as suspicious. The company's website claimed it provided "next generation algorithms, client-centric solutions, and cutting edge
compression software".
Three days later, MTF Mu-4 ("Debuggers") performed a raid on the offices of HiveFind. Although the building had been recently abandoned, they found
several pieces of equipment: 14 large-scale QR scanners, 15 desktop computers, and over 900 gallons of stored honey. After detailed analysis, Mu-4
determined that each QR scanner had been wired to provide control over one computer. SCP-3045 was found on one of the computer's hard-drives.
A later search uncovered over 50 dead (non-anomalous) instances of Apis mellifera (American honey-bee) spread throughout the office.
Investigations into HiveFind are ongoing.

SCP-3067
Interdimensional Pirate Radio Station
By: acc1177
Rating: 51
Wilson Score: 0.82
Original Version
Item #: SCP-3067
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Active containment of SCP-3067, which involved an information-suppression scheme and a satellite-based
electromagnetic intercepting system, has been postponed. Should SCP-3067 return, these systems are to be reimplemented immediately.
Excluding that of Week 5, audio tracks from SCP-3067 are stored physically in Room 12 at Site-40. Access is denied to Level 1
personnel and below.
Description: SCP-3067 is an ovoid extraterrestrial object, 16m in length, that orbited Earth for 5 weeks. SCP-3067 materialised on
/ /20 , and directed a series of Very High Frequency (VHF) electromagnetic waves towards Earth until its disappearance on
/ /20 . These were transmitted once per week, and could be detected by all FM receivers enclosed in SCP-3067's radio horizon.
Transmissions sourced by SCP-3067 covered all known carrier frequencies and 'overrode' others by unknown means, making its content
receivable across all tunings, and the only content available, unless intercepted by Foundation satellites. Objects entering a field
of 2m around SCP-3067 were destroyed by an unknown force, which negated Foundation efforts to contain it on Earth. Attempts to
establish remote communications with SCP-3067 were unsuccessful, as no response was received.
5 audio tracks from SCP-3067 were received, some of which exhibited anomalous effects. SCP-3067 had been thought not to bear any
relation to humanity until Week 2, in which an audibly recognisable version of Adele's 2008 song 'Make You Feel My Love', albeit
subject to major alterations, was transmitted. This prompted a thorough investigation into the origin of SCP-3067, which was
unsuccessful.
Per transmission, FM receivers with a visual interface were able to display a short message from SCP-3067 in English. The message was
invariable, and is as follows:
DIMENSION / REALM GRACED BY TELEPORTING SONIC SPECTACLE PRESENCE! STRICTLY SPEAKING BETWEEN-REALMM LEGISLATION DEEMED ILLEGAL
KEEPING MOVING WANT NO BETWEEN-REALM ENFORCERS ON MY TAIL GOODBYE SOON SORRY. H OPE TO IMPROVE EARTH MUSIC PREFERENCE SINCE AT THE
MOMENT A BIT CRAP BUT ITS OK
This message was followed by individualised lines of text and/or symbols, relative to the transmission received in that week. Details
of individual transmissions are listed below.
Week 1
Date: / /20
Received Text: "EJ - EJ"
Description of Audio Content: 9 minutes 55 seconds. A recording of a gravelly, unintelligible voice speaking an unknown language.
Repeated listens verified the presence of rhythm and rhyme within the track. The voice featured in the track demonstrated incredible
vocal and linguistic capability - at least 500 different variations on the same rhyme were featured.
Observed Anomalous Effect(s): N/A
Week 2
Date: / /20
Received Text: "Adele - Make You Feel My Love UFAB55 RE MIX"
Description of Audio Content: 4 minutes 30 seconds. Audio consisted of the vocal acapella track to 'Make You Feel My Love' played
against a series of reverberated guttural sounds. When played back, it is difficult to determine whether these sounds are
synthesised or organic. It is currently unknown as to how the isolated vocal track from the original Adele song was obtained.
Observed Anomalous Effect(s): N/A
Week 3
Date: / /20
Received Text: "||||||||||\\-—\\///||_ - ||||||||||||]]]]]]||||[-]"
Description of Audio Content: 66 minutes 42 seconds. A series of tones, each lasting no longer than 6 milliseconds, ranging in
Frequency between 1,000 to 20,000 Hz.
Observed Anomalous Effect(s): On first listen, all subjects hearing the track compulsively exclaimed an unknown term, "Gumhanado"
(/gʊm-hɑːr-nə-dəʊ/). This effect was even observed in an otherwise mute individual; it is one of the few phrases this subject has
ever been known to say. When asked what the term meant, affected individuals responded that it was an expression of endearment
towards the track, but when further pressed, could not identify how they came upon this knowledge. The effect appeared to have been
singular; repeated listens did not produce the same anomalous effect.
Week 4
Date: / /20
Received Text: "aeoilasnaticp (Finest Laniakea Orchestra) - SYPHONY HUMAN APPEAL X X X X XX X X X"
Description of Audio Content: 26 minutes 3 seconds. An apparently live recording of a long, complex piece of music in several
movements. Consisted mostly of short, muted percussion sounds and long, sustained high-pitched voices singing in unison. These
voices sang phrases in several different languages both known and unidentified, including English, Spanish and Mandarin. Of the
terrestrial languages sung, phrases translated to "I love you", "Baby I love you", "You'll always be mine", "I'm coming home", and
"Never let you go".
Observed Anomalous Effect(s): N/A (It is of note that some subjects reported a feeling of comfort and satisfaction upon hearing this
recording, although whether this effect was anomalous remains inconclusive)
Week 5
Date: / /20
Received Text: "/-//**EWHOOPWHOOP-- (NUMBER HIT SONG EVER)"
Description of Audio Content: 3 minutes 56 seconds. Due to its anomalous effect, this description is limited to what was provided by
those exposed to it: a repeated metallic kick and snare pattern at 126 beats per minute.
Observed Anomalous Effect(s): Despite its unremarkable nature, those hearing this audio track had a 100% chance of sharing it with
the nearest person unless hindered via amnestic administration or neutralisation. Subjects replayed it to others by whatever means
necessary. Methods of sharing included, but were not limited to: making recordings using external devices, 'ripping' techniques, and
dissemination via social media on the Internet. The effect even applied to subjects who had only heard very small sections of the
track, including the moments of silence between the drum hits. Prior to the enactment of a mass-amnestic administration and
information-suppression procedure known as Protocol-[REDACTED], modern day ease of digital file-sharing meant that the memetic
effect had spread to approximately , people globally 2 days after initial broadcast, which included members of the general
public. This event is considered to be one of the worst information breaches ever sustained by the Foundation, and, in the final
weeks prior to its disappearance, prompted the immediate promotion of SCP-3067 to Keter status.
Addendum: New visual information from the [REDACTED] satellite, which was present in the same approximate location as SCP-3067 at the
time of its disappearance, has been confiscated. The disappearance of SCP-3067 was captured in a minute-long video by this satellite.
Details are as follows: at 0:46, SCP-3067 emits a flash of light before disappearing. Several seconds later, at 0:51, an orderly
arrangement of 5 light-emitting objects of unknown size, now designated SCP-3067-A, appears spontaneously. These objects are flashing,
and move frantically around the area of space that SCP-3067 occupied. At 0:54, the objects comprising SCP-3067-A each emit a divergent
beam of light, which appear to 'scan' the surrounding area. Then, at 0:58, SCP-3067-A de-materialises in a similar fashion to SCP-
3067. Like SCP-3067, the origin of SCP-3067-A is unknown.

Item #: SCP-3078
Special Containment Procedures: As all known SCP-3078 instances have been neutralized and long-term containment of SCP-3078 is not
possible, only preventative measures are currently in place. Foundation webcrawlers are to scan the internet for criteria indicating
possible SCP-3078 manifestations. Upon detection, Foundation hackers will attempt to remove all instances as fast as possible. No
testing is to be performed at this time.
Description: SCP-3078 designates one or more self-replicating cognitohazardous digital images. When a human being views an instance of
SCP-3078, subjects will feel an intense compulsion to laugh for an indefinite amount of time. Subjects will not be able to inhale
during this period, and affected subjects have expired due to suffocation in all cases. After expiration, face muscles will still
retain a smile, and lungs will still move as if expelling air in short, quick bursts. Once every hour, all SCP-3078 instances will
duplicate by undergoing a SCP-3078-Kahnert event, which is described below. Deleting the data of the instance from the web server it
is stored on will neutralize the instance and cease its anomalous properties. Digital and physical copies of any form of instances
will not display any anomalous effects.
After initial manifestation of SCP-3078, the appearance of all images was reported to change 6 times prior to total neutralization.
All iterations of SCP-3078 can be found below.
SCP-3078-Kahnert Events
SCP-3078-Kahnert events will occur once every hour, granted there is at least one SCP-3078 instance in existence. For every SCP-3078
instance in existence, one profile or user account will be created on a random public forum or social media platform capable of
hosting images for other users to view.[1] Account usernames are always random combinations of the numbers "69" and "420". Each account
will post one instance of SCP-3078 on the website. If tags/hashtags can be applied to the post, the phrases "420", "dont do weed", and
"meme" will be used.
1. IP tracing of these accounts yields a different non-existent IP address each time.
Discovery Log
The first documented instance of SCP-3078 was posted to imgur.com on 2/3/2017. Since the spread of SCP-3078 is superficially similar
to the spread of non-anomalous viral images, SCP-3078 did not trigger Foundation cognitohazard detection software for 15 hours.
Approx. 2 hours after eventual detection, SCP-3078 was classified as Keter and containment efforts began[2]. As Foundation personnel
could not reasonably remove all images covertly before the next SCP-3078-Kahnert event, intrusive hacking methods were approved.
Shortly after, amnestics were deployed where appropriate and Foundation disinformation campaigns attributed the deaths to gas leaks
and suicides. Neutralization of all instances was achieved on 2/4/2017. Casualties from SCP-3078 currently measure 3,576 civilians and
2 Foundation personnel.
2. SCP-3078 instances numbered 131,072 at this time.

Item #: SCP-3137
Special Containment Procedures: All websites hosting SCP-3137 have been blocked to non-Foundation personnel. Any references to SCP-
3137 or its effects on any website are to be immediately supressed; amnestics are to be administered to the persons involved. Any
attempts at communication with SCP-3137 is currently prohibited.
MTF Lambda-66 "Lunar Moths" has been formed to track down and mitigate any activation of SCP-3137's anomalous effects. They are also
to track down SCP-3137's creators and SCP-3137's place of operation, if such a location exists.
Description: SCP-3137 refers to an executable application entitled "nitepad.exe". The executable file appears to be identical to the
Microsoft Notepad application. However, if any words are typed in English before hitting the "enter" key, a large variety of anomalous
effects within a 3km radius from the computer running SCP-3137 will occur.
These effects range from small-scale physical manifestations to rapid alteration of the local reality. Extensive Foundation testing
seems to indicate that all of these effects are thematically linked with the word or combination of words typed, as well as usually
possessing some physical or conceptual link with the idea of "night". Any of these effects can be countermanded with a subsequent and
directly contradictory command.
Information on SCP-3137's creators is scarce. The application can be found for download on a number of free download websites, but no
data on any uploader has been found. The only information is the reaction to the command "who are you", which prompts the following
text to appear within the Nitepad application:
Welcome, user. Welcome to Nitepad . Relax, and enjoy the show.
Using patented techniques of astral projection, we here at Nitepad are proud to present to you our classic product, now made free
of charge. We all have great memories of the night; pretty views, staggering vistas, treasured memories with loved ones. We at
Nitepad understand this. And we at Nitepad want nothing more than to share these beautiful memories, feelings, and concepts with
you.
So enjoy, safe in the knowledge that you're endorsing a company who cares. All our memories and concepts are fairtrade and locally
sourced, so you too can ethically experience a myriad of emotional settings.
You too can be night owls. You too can join Nitepad .
The following is a partial log of particularly noteworthy experimentation with SCP-3137. All experimentation took place at a temporary
research station constructed in a depopulated area of Saskatchewan, Canada, designated Station 172.

light, severely impairing the eyesight of several Foundation personnel. This area began to expand at a rate of 1km2 per minute.
After approximately 3 minutes, Dr. Heinz Scholl typed the command "bring back the night" into SCP-3137. The night sky was immediately
restored, and the following text appeared on the SCP-3137 application:
You want to know who we are. And that's great. Here at Nitepad we're always looking for new experiences to share with the world.
There was a pair of lovers on a lonely night in New York, back in the 30s. And on that night, Manhattan was like it is in all the
old movies. They walked through the snow, with the roaring twenties behind them and all the hells before them, but it was alright
because it was a romance. The city was theirs, all to themselves. They danced between the snow, while dulcet tones played in the
background. Nobody saw them. They were lucky. They were reckless.
They twirled and tangoed in their silent city, the camera panning and moving around, showing its vastness, the endless
conglomerations of people with their own lives and those moments in real time. We see the past as another country, dull grey sepia
tones transmitted through history books and recollections of people we only know as old. But we'll be old too, and that won't negate
the past. In that moment, Martha and Laura danced together, brazen in the blizzard, while the city slept, an instant among instants
that always is and always will be.
We took that moment, and packaged it in 3D ultrasonic astral projection. We placed it into an executable file along with a thousand
others. The thrill of the werewolves and their assault on hell on an ancient Baltic evening. A boy falling into water as Rome burnt,
the flames licking high as he prayed to Christ for deliverance. All these moments, real and genuine. Brought to you in state-of-the-
art surround reality.
You think the night is yours? The night is ours. Your every command to us gave us more moments, stolen from your life. We bartered
them in exchange for ephemeral instances of beauty, tasters of our full capacity. We have existed as witch doctors, street
swindlers, storytellers, merchants, void-filled monstrosities, anartists, the dead. We have been cheating you out of your treasured
memories since before you were born and we'll do so long after you crumble to dust.
The night does not belong to you. The night belongs to us. And you should remember this. It will be given to you for only the
metaphysical equivalent of £15.99 a month. It will be given to you in packages of $79.99 a month (not to be paid in legal tender)
after the third month. It will be sold to you for a beating human heart, each day, every day, for the rest of your adult life. If
you do not offer yourselves up in supplication, you will lose the night. There will only be sight and the sun, screaming, burning,
blaring into what remains of your immortal soul day after day, making you mad.
Giving you the quality of life you deserve. Giving you the meaning and existential security you deserve. For the low low price of
your most treasured possessions. Join Nitepad today.
Or we will turn the night off.
All further testing has been suspended.

Item #: SCP-3166
Special Containment Procedures: The Garfield media franchise is to remain active and successful for as long as feasibly possible.
Funding is to be provided to any Garfield media ventures via Foundation front companies present in the comic and film industries.
Agents embedded within Paws, Inc.[1] and Universal Uclick[2] are to place targeted memetic agents in outgoing comic strips, encouraging
the retention of a sizable Garfield fan-base and discouraging Jim Davis from discontinuing Garfield.
2. Primary distributors of the Garfield comic strip.
1. Sole owner of the rights to Garfield.
Agents are to monitor individuals at significant risk of attack from SCP-3166. In the event of an SCP-3166 manifestation, agents are
to use supplied frozen lasagna to lure SCP-3166 away from its target and dispatch it once out of public view. Any witnesses are then
to be administered amnestics as appropriate for their level of exposure.
Description: SCP-3166 is a 2.1-meter-tall humanoid entity, presumed pataphysical in nature, known to manifest during periods when the
Garfield media franchise is performing poorly in terms of public reception. The exterior layer of SCP-3166's body resembles a crudely-
made costume of the character Garfield, which field inspection has shown to be composed of legitimate cat fur. However, analysis of
SCP-3166's composition in the field has shown that its interior mass is composed entirely out of pasta: specifically, lasagna.
Upon the criteria for its manifestation being met, SCP-3166 will appear in the vicinity of a suitable individual, hereafter referred
to as the target, and move towards their location. Known targets of SCP-3166 have included:
Individuals prominently involved in rival media to the Garfield franchise.

Individuals formerly involved in the production of the Garfield comic strip.
Individuals involved in parodies of the Garfield franchise.
Vocal critics of the Garfield franchise.
Garfield creator Jim Davis.[3]
3. This has only occurred on occasions where the negative reception Garfield was receiving could be traced back to Mr. Davis' management of the franchise.
Upon reaching its target, SCP-3166 will attempt to inflict bodily harm upon them through a mixture of blunt force using nearby objects
and force-feeding of lasagna, obtained through self-disembowelment. During this process, SCP-3166 will vocalize by meowing, purring
and screeching in the manner of an extremely agitated cat. Lasagna outside SCP-3166's mass has proven to be an effective form of bait
for the entity, as upon seeing it SCP-3166 will abandon its original goal and instead attempt to incorporate the pasta into itself.
SCP-3166 first manifested on 10/23/1989 within the Chicago offices of United Media, who were the publishers of the Garfield comic
strip at the time. Upon manifestation, SCP-3166 wandered around the offices in a confused and distressed manner, before
indiscriminately assaulting any individuals present after security attempted to apprehend it. It demanifested twenty minutes later.
Foundation agents responding to the situation distributed amnestics as appropriate.
Over the course of the following week, similar manifestations took place at a number of United Media offices around the country,
ending on 10/29/1989. Following that date, SCP-3166 altered its behaviour to its current form. See the week of Garfield comic strips
beginning on 10/23/1989 in Supplementary Document 3166-1 for additional context on pataphysical awakening. Initially, individuals
involved with production of Garfield comic strips claimed to have no memory on working on that week's strips. All researchers working
on SCP-3166 containment are to familiarize themselves on this material.
Addendum 3166-1: Using tissue samples taken by Agent Muller during SCP-3166's most recent manifestation, genetic analysis of the meat
present within the lasagna has shown it to be genetically identical to Garfield creator Jim Davis. The implications of this are
currently unclear. However, during surveillance of Mr. Davis by containment teams, he has complained of severe mosquito bites in the
night on a number of occasions immediately preceding SCP-3166 manifestation.

chamber, the walls of which should be coated in approximately two centimeter thick acid-resistant steel. Two meters of empty space are
to be allocated between this chamber and secondary containment.
Secondary containment consists of suspending all live instances of SCP-3199 inside a solid block of strong, transparent substance
(currently clear acrylic resin).
This block is to be at a height of at least three meters, with one armed security guard stationed directly outside initial containment
at all times. An eight-digit passcode can be obtained from the current Site-114 director in order to access the initial containment
chamber, and allow for close-up examination of SCP-3199's behaviour and appearance. CCTV equipment is, however, installed in one
corner of the containment cell for remote observation.
Secondary containment is to be regularly examined for damages. Any sign of aggressive activity will be noted, and the current Site-114
Director informed at the earliest possible convenience.
A temporary recall procedure is detailed in Addendum 3199-03. Experiments involving the use of live SCP-3199 instances are strictly
prohibited without approval from at least two personnel of Level-4 security clearance or above.
As of 12/6/2017, there are four present and contained instances of SCP-3199.
Description: SCP-3199 is a sentient humanoid species of a currently unknown biological origin, though tissue samples suggest traces of
domestic chicken (Gallus gallus) and chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) DNA. Instances of SCP-3199 are hairless, stained with a thin layer
of albumin, and stand at an average of 2.9 meters. Weight averages 780 kg for a matured instance, and 360 kg for a hatchling. The
necks of SCP-3199 appear dislocated, and are capable of twisting approximately 340°, presumably due to the nature of SCP-3199's
reproductive cycle.
SCP-3199 are opportunistic hunters, engaging with live subjects within a currently unidentified radius within a radius of 0.6
kilometers surrounding hatchlings that have not yet reached full adolescence. Average speed is recorded at 25 km/h. Upon contact with
human or animal subjects, SCP-3199 will proceed to [REDACTED], liquefying internal organs and bone structure. The cadaver is then
transported to the young and utilized as a form of nourishment.
Instances of SCP-3199 have been observed producing large eggs of an off-white coloration and rubbery appearance. These eggs pass
through the entity's stomach, esophagus and eventually out via the mouth, followed by a viscous red substance (first thought to be a
form of placenta, chemical breakdown has determined it to be a highly corrosive material.) SCP-3199 shows extreme distress throughout
the process, with personnel describing the sound as 'not dissimilar to a scream'.
Presumably due to a biologically ingrained method of avoiding extinction, SCP-3199 produces its eggs to fill available space. This
anomalous property currently has no known limit, and as a result may pose an LK-Class species transmutation scenario. Termination of
SCP-3199 can be performed with relative ease. However, a complete eradication is currently impossible difficult, as all instances of
SCP-3199 (regardless of age) carry one egg inside their stomach, ensuring survival for at least one member of their species at all
times.
Egg samples have proven to be extremely resilient, lacking visible signs of damage after subjection to:
Extreme blunt-force trauma.

Extensive pressure exceeding 180,000 psi.
High-precision blades. (Serrated and non-serrated)
Long-term acid exposure.
Use of point-blank explosives was suggested, but never tested. Heat exposure has been determined to accelerate hatch rates, and thus
detonation may run the risk of a containment breach. (See Addendum 3199-04).
SCP-3199 was issued Keter classification on 10/6/2017 following the events of a containment breach. SCP-3199's original water
containment method was disassembled, and replaced with the current resin solution.
Addendum 3199-01: On / /2017, O5- dispatched the following notice regarding SCP-3199:
All experiments involving SCP-3199 egg samples are strictly prohibited until further notice. Hatching periods have proven too
unreliable to warrant extensive research, and as the consequences of a containment breach become more and more apparent, the O5
Council have collectively decided to eliminate risks at the source and prevent testing until new information surfaces. We thank you
for your cooperation.
SCP-3199 was discovered in , Ireland after reports of an unidentified, 'bald' creature 'crying like a banshee' from within a
dense woodlands resulted in the dispatching of MTF Omega-19 ("Omelette"). Two personnel were lost in action, their internal organs and
jaws having been almost entirely dissolved. During transportation, SCP-3199 produced two offspring, resulting in the deaths of a
further six personnel. It is entirely unknown as to how the first instance of SCP-3199 came into existence. A thorough examination of
the original capture site is currently undergoing confirmation.
(See Addendum 3199-02).
Addendum 3199-02 Hide Addendum 3199-02
Addendum 3199-02: On / /2017, a thorough sweep of SCP-3199's initial recovery location was performed in an attempt to uncover any
further information regarding their origin. Locals claimed that the small remote residence in question has been established in the
woods for several years. Surface Team D-029 recovered several items of interest, including:
One bag of assorted thread and needles, of various colors and sizes.
Approximately thirteen chicken carcasses (based on the collective halves and quarters), with precise incisions located on the
underbelly, neck, and thigh. Six of the carcasses had been plucked, with visible human teeth marks lining the bare areas
seemingly at random.
Several containers, including water bottles and Tupperware boxes, holding an unidentified watery paste. The paste is deep brown
in color, and in the presence of oxygen becomes viscous and hard. Substance is currently awaiting chemical breakdown.
An A5 notebook, brand, and heavily scratched with what was determined to be human fingernails. The words 'OPEN WHEN WE ARE
PURE!!' are written on the front.
Two chicken feather quills.
The notebook itself consisted of 24 pages of standard lined paper, written in non-anomalous black ink. 19 of these pages consisted of
various cuboid patterns and crude, child-like illustrations vaguely resembling SCP-3199. On the remaining five pages, large lines of
writing detail the diary of an unnamed individual. Most of what was written was found totally illegible. However, one extract in
particular, dated /6/1973 was written with notably higher clarity:
If you're reading this, then luky lucky you! one millionth hour from not and it'll be fun fun, and the wonderful vursatilli vessa
versatility of (INFERIOR) human DNA will give birth to a new era. A stronger ear. One where [ILLEGIBLE] and food and water will be
nothing but things of the passed as we make and make and make more until for the better future! [ILLEGIBLE]
I REALLY HAVEN'T MUCH TIM
TIME
THATS why i ENVY you so. you'll have all the time you need. time will be a thing of the time will be on and on and death will be
life. life new life changes lives and brings smiles like a freshness. new life will be a part of life from now on. (sic)
The final page consisted of several ink blots, thirteen instances of the word 'life' in various sizes, and two instances of the words
'didnt you want this?' (sic)
Addendum 3199-03: Protocol 34-22-B - 'Poached'
Regarding the re-containment of SCP-3199. The following procedure will occur in the event of a breach.
On-site personnel with Level-1 security clearance or above assume standard lock-down procedure and immediately move to Site-113
unless instructed otherwise.
Site-114 is to be filled entirely with distilled water, treated with Class A sedatives.
Surface Team Tango-306-A will be notified and dispatched and instructed to retrieve any instances of SCP-3199's eggs.
Any living instances of SCP-3199 will be terminated on sight, and their remaining eggs will be collected.
All egg samples are to be transported to temporary off-site containment.
Site-114 will then be drained, and janitorial staff dispatched to thoroughly clean the area. Personnel attempting to breach
Site-114 before this inspection is complete will be apprehended and suspended accordingly.
Note: Some personnel have displayed skepticism regarding the necessity of SCP-3199's current breach protocol. To elaborate, we have
reason to believe that fluid is an excellent counter to SCP-3199's anomalous reproductive properties. It appears to enter an inert
state in the presence of liquid, regardless of thickness or clarity. There are two theories regarding this occurrence:
1. SCP-3199's need for survival demands all of its attention to focus on not drowning. It's possible we have found a loophole within
its own nature.
2. SCP-3199 considers the liquid around it as 'full space', and as a result does not produce any young when submerged.
The latter theory holds more water, as SCP-3199 appears to be totally inactive when submerged. For now, I believe I speak for all of
Site-114 when I say it's a relief to at least have a consistent method of containment.

VIDEO LOG - INTERVIEW 3199-01:
Interviewer: Dr. Ewing.

Interviewed: Cpl. Duncan. Leading captain of MTF Omega-19, first to capture and detain SCP-3199 during initial recovery.
Foreword: Subject had undergone extensive psychiatric therapy prior to interview, and whilst not considered responsible for the deaths
of Pvt. MacLeod and LCpl. Langley, admitted to having not performed the necessary precautions.
[BEGIN LOG]
Cpl. Duncan: Take a seat, right?
Dr. Ewing: Please, if you would.
Cpl. Duncan clears his throat. White noise as he sits, visibly anxious.
Dr. Ewing: Could you explain your mission briefing?

Cpl. Duncan: The job was pretty simple. No auditory or visual triggers that the eggheads in Site-114 knew about. Seems to me as if
they'd done a pretty top job scraping the area clean.
Cpl. Duncan laughs nervously.
Cpl. Duncan: Never is that easy though, huh ma'am? We landed around 2100 hours. The boys and I had been told that if we couldn't
catch the thing, the next best thing would be snapping a frame or two, so they- uh- they hooked us up with the best in night vision
hardware.
Cpl. Duncan shuffles uncomfortably in his seat.
Cpl. Duncan: I know you have pictures, Ela. I know you've got something.
Paper shuffling. Dr. Ewing looks grave.
Dr. Ewing: You're under no obligation to view the recording.
Cpl. Duncan: Nah, nah- I- I know that. Just shook me a little.
Dr. Ewing: Please. Go on.
Cpl. Duncan: (Shivering.) We found something within the hour- almost like a shack, totally out of scrap metal and wood. Looked more
like an over-sized chicken coop than anything else, but I don't know that your new monster built it. Just made it a home.
Dr. Ewing: And I assume you-
Cpl. Duncan: - entered ASAP? Of course, it was a late shift. Wanted this over as quick as possible. I'd like to say that's why I did
what I did, but- uh- I can't bring myself to make excuses.
Cpl. Duncan places his head in his hands, sighing.
Cpl. Duncan: I really- really fucked it, ma'am. Pardon my French.
Dr. Ewing: It's perfectly appropriate, all things considered. However, I'm going to have to ask you to continue explaining the
procedure.
Cpl. Duncan: Right, right, well- I had two of my men stationed at back. Pvt. MacLeod and LCpl. Langley insisted they take first
charge. Fresh out of training, they were. Kids. I should be used to it by now, but-
Cpl. Duncan laughs dryly.
Cpl. Duncan: Never seen a smile get cut down so quick. It knew we were there, somehow. Jumped right at Pvt. MacLeod and [DATA
EXPUNGED] the fuckin' teeth out of his head. I see it whenever I blink, ma'am. That's the shit that stays with you.
Dr. Ewing: I assure you, The Foundation will take every measure to ensure financial comfort for the families of your lost men. Could
you elaborate on the other casualty?
Silence for a moment. Cpl Duncan leans back in his chair. A pause.
Dr. Ewing: Duncan? Please, I have to urge you to continue. The more we know, the more we can do to stop it from happening again.
Cpl. Duncan: We barely had time to react before it started neckin' it down the corridor to the right. I guess the adrenaline had
just about hit me, because I fired off enough rounds to blow a chunk out of its chest, just as its ugly head was about to hit a
corner. I saw-
Another pause. Cpl. Duncan shows visible signs of distress.
Cpl. Duncan: I saw straight fuckin' moonlight on the other side. Bulls-eye. Thing let out the most awful scream. I have a beautiful
little baby boy at home, doc. You know that?
Dr. Ewing: Irrelevant discussion of domestic life isn't necessary for this procedure, Corporal. Could you please-
Cpl. Duncan: (Raising voice.) I have a beautiful baby boy who just loves wailin' when he's too cranky to sleep, and you know what?
Every time he does, I think about that scream. See it poppin' into my head. Think what it did- and his pa gives him a look as if
he's gonna bash his fuckin' head against the wall.
Cpl. Duncan, now standing, gradually sits back down.
Cpl. Duncan: (Strained) They were good men.
Silence.
Cpl. Duncan: Please, Ela. Kill that monster. If for no one else, for me.
[END LOG]
Note: I wish the very best to the families of those lost during SCP-3199’s initial recovery. Furthermore, I would like to formally
request that Cpl. Duncan is administered one Class B amnestic at the earliest possible convenience. No excuses.

Addendum 3199-04: Experiment Logs
Experiment 3199-A - 'Intense Heat Exposure' - / /2017
Subject: One egg sample from SCP-3199.
Method: Subject relocated to a secure containment cell. Inside temperature of the cell was gradually increased at an average rate of
7°C/minute.
Results: After approx. nine minutes, the egg ruptured violently and produced a single hatchling. On-site personnel reacted swiftly to
re-contain the newborn instance. However, the excessive internal temperature impacted the physical growth of the young instance, and
it reached adolescence at an accelerated rate of 40 seconds.
As a result, the (now adolescent) hatchling produced two further instances of SCP-3199. On-site security response was swift, and all
three instances were detained. All future heat testing involving SCP-3199 egg samples has been forbidden until further notice.
Experiment 3199-B - 'Liquid Nitrogen Bath' - / /2017
Subject: One egg sample from SCP-3199.
Method: Subject submerged entirely in liquid nitrogen. Security remain on standby throughout the procedure, after concerns regarding
another unexpected outbreak. After approximately 45 minutes of exposure, SCP-3199 had reached -190°C. Following two hours of exposure,
the egg sample was removed and placed under extreme pressure.
Results: Hydraulic press peaked at pressures of around 9,000 psi. Cracks appeared 30 minutes into exposure before the sample
shattered. Egg fragments were collected and furthermore pressed into a fine pulp. Zero traces of albumin or yolk were located.
Incineration of these remains proved successful at destroying the egg in its entirety.
Postscript: As Dr. Ewing once put so eloquently, let us not allow these small victories to distract from the larger picture- and
whilst you may find the time to celebrate this discovery, we will not excuse apathy towards the entity itself.
-Dr. Watt
Experiment 3199-C - 'Chemical Analysis of Shell' - / /2017
Sample: 10 grams of finely pressed eggshell pulp, taken from an SCP-3199 egg.
Results: Detailed chemical breakdown shows traces of nacre, enamel, and a currently unidentified carbon compound. Microscope analysis
suggests that the shell itself is composed of tightly packed, organized crystals. Practical use of this material is currently
undergoing consideration.

The information contained within the following document is subject to an anomalous effect.
The effect is activated by receipt of any direct information regarding SCP-3211, including details of the anomalous effect itself. As
a result, in order to be effective, this warning message may contain no such details.
Do not read this document without express permission from a member of Class 4 personnel assigned to SCP-3211.

Memetic detectors indicate that you were first exposed to this file more than 6 minutes ago. You are now considered post-3211. If
you can still perceive the documentation as you originally recall it, please consult a researcher assigned to SCP-3211 immediately.
There is no photographic evidence of SCP-3211.
Item #: SCP-3211
Special Containment Procedures: To reduce unnecessary exposure to SCP-3211, a warning message is to be placed at the start of this
document. Level 4 authorisation must be required to proceed. No information regarding SCP-3211 is to be present in any resources not
exclusively available to researchers assigned to SCP-3211, including the warning message.
Except in the event of an emergency necessitating knowledge of SCP-3211, no more than 3 members of the O5 council and 10% of the
population of any individual Site are to have been exposed to information regarding SCP-3211 other than its existence.
SCP-3211 is to be kept in a standard non-humanoid containment chamber. Access is to be limited to tests only.
Description: SCP-3211 is an unknown object, entity or concept.
SCP-3211 exhibits a slow-acting but potent perception-altering effect. During the first 6 minutes of exposure to SCP-3211, subjects
are able to observe and record SCP-3211 without issue. Once 6 minutes have passed, subjects will immediately and permanently be unable
to perceive any direct information associated with SCP-3211, or observe SCP-3211 itself. This effectively quarantines information
about SCP-3211 to only those who have been exposed to it for less than 6 minutes.
For the purposes of this document, subjects who have already been exposed to SCP-3211 for at least 6 minutes will be described as
post-3211 and those who have been exposed to it for less than 6 minutes will be described as pre-3211.
Post-3211 subjects are consistently adamant that they are able to perfectly remember its nature despite being unable to take in new
information about it. However, it quickly becomes apparent that each post-3211 subject reports a different description for SCP-3211. A
selection of such descriptions, in chronological order of their being reported, is provided below.
-brand microwave oven

Homo sapiens, Czech female, named 'Nerozumím'
Porcelain mug printed with imagery from franchise, empty
Red cube, perfectly smooth, 12 cm on all sides
Columba livia domestica (common pigeon) corpse, early stages of decomposition
The colour 'puce'
Clay vase, presumably ancient
DVD boxset of the television series 'Friends', missing one disc from season 3
A small plastic badge imprinted with the number '3211'
Of note is that descriptions of the object vary only between post-3211 subjects. Observations indicate that pre-3211 subjects
consistently agree on the nature of SCP-3211. However, once these subjects pass the 6-minute threshold, they will disagree on what it
is. This also applies to documentation: personnel viewing this document universally report that it describes something else before it
changes after 6 minutes. See Experiment Logs 3211-01 and -02 for more details.
Note that post-3211 subjects reporting unique descriptions is not universal — in several cases, the same description has been reported
more than once.
The fact that those who have been exposed to SCP-3211 are able to read the list above suggests that none of those descriptions are
what SCP-3211 truly is. Several theories have been suggested:
That none of the descriptions are true, and that the real SCP-3211 has yet to be seen.
That none of the descriptions are true, and that the real SCP-3211 will reveal itself to someone 'worthy'.
That one of the above descriptions is true, and the rest are false.
That all of the above descriptions are true, and that SCP-3211 is somehow several objects located in the same conceptual space.
The mechanism through which SCP-3211 propagates this effect is currently unknown, though the current theory proposes that after the 6-
minute threshold, SCP-3211 'injects' false memories over the original perception.
Amnestics have proven to be effective on post-3211 subjects. They will forget SCP-3211 as expected, and upon re-exposure may perceive
it as something new. A method of amnesticating only the false memories has not yet been found.

Incident Log 3211-C: On 2016-03-31, a researcher who was not assigned to SCP-3211, Dr. Jason Greaves, took a Class-Y mnestic[1] without
authorisation and entered the containment chamber. Personnel reported being unable to perceive Dr. Greaves until his unconscious body
was noted to 'spontaneously appear' several hours later. Dr. Greaves returned to full health with medical care, but did not retain any
details of his encounter with SCP-3211, claiming only that he 'wasted his time in an empty cell'.
1. ''Mnestics, as opposed to the more common amnestics, generally aid in the retention of memories and the prevention of their modification even in the face of
anomalies that seek to disrupt this...'' – Excerpt from An Introduction to Antimemetic Counter-Measures, Marion Wheeler
Dr. Greaves recorded a series of audio logs detailing his thought process during his encounter. However, the content of these logs
propagate the infohazardous effect, and are effectively devoid of information. Their transcriptions are preserved below for posterity.
Dr. Greaves has been severely reprimanded for not following standard testing procedure.
Audio Log of Incident 3211-F
Dr. Jason Greaves, SCP-3211, experiment log... one?
If you're hearing this and if, like me, you're souped-up on some heavy-ass mnestics, then you and me both know for sure that SCP-
3211 does not exist. Why it's trying so hard to hide that from us, we'll never know. But, if you're not high as hell on Class Y,
then in less than 6 minutes you'll only remember me just rambling on about some random thing sat in a containment chamber.
And of course, when that happens, all these logs will say is that there's nothing in the containment chamber at all.
What I'm trying to do is work out exactly what SCP-3211 is, how it works, and why it's trying so hard to hide. What does it want?
No matter what I tried and who I spoke to, I couldn't get this test authorised. But it needs to be done. So I've taken a small dose
of Class Y mnestics and I'm doing this myself. I only have a couple of hours before the Class Y stops helping me remember things and
starts making me forget things, so I'd better get started.
I've noticed something of a pattern emerging.
Most people who walk into 3211's cell will perceive the cell to be completely empty. Like, I can clearly see that there is nothing
here.
There is nothing in the containment cell. SCP-3211 does not exist.
It seems to me like Foundation personnel — researchers and the like — will perceive the containment cell to be completely empty.
People who are already familiar with nothing, who are expecting nothing, will see nothing in the containment chamber, because it is
empty.
But a D-Class, for example, who is not familiar with the anomalous, will remember the containment cell being empty, just the same.
It looks like SCP-3211 does not exist at all. But I still don't understand why, if SCP-3211 does not exist, I insist on trying to
prove that it does. SCP-3211 does not exist.
My head feels... foggy. I don't know if it's the SCP or the mnestics starting to wear off. I actually don't know how long Class Y
lasts.
I think I've narrowed it down to three... stages. That seems to be the right word.
So, the first stage is what you see when you walk into the cell for the first time; what SCP-3211 really is. It's nothing.
Obviously, as soon as my mnestics wear off, I'll forget that. And so will you. I assume you've taken mnestics.
The second stage is whatever memory SCP-3211 injects over itself when you've seen it for more than 6 minutes. Last time I saw it, I
remembered seeing... my son. Who would be six. That was the second perception for me.
The third stage is that you can't perceive it at all. Its disguise is complete and it's hidden from you.
I think I know why it wants to hide. I just... need to put the words into a sentence.
It's getting hard to think. My thoughts feel like walking through ketchup.
Oh God, my head is killing me.
I'm certain it's the mnestics. Class Z literally kills you when you take it, because the effect is permanent. Class Y won't kill
you... I hope? I, uh... might have majorly fucked up by doing this.
It's really weird seeing all the things you can't usually remember. There's bugs everywhere, covering every surface. The containment
cell is empty. There are no bugs.
I need to sleep. I just want to sleep.
The floor is so much more comfortable than standing.
It's getting hard to breathe. I don't know if that's my lungs closing up, or if it's just the... if it's just me forgetting how. At
least I haven't forgotten what it was the first time I saw it.
But I know for sure why SCP-3211 wants to disguise so avidly. It's right there, just in front of you. I'm surprised no one has seen
it yet.
It's just... it's just that it's not really... it's not really there. It does not exist.
I don't know how to take mnestics, dammit. I only make them. I know how they're... how they're...
I need to sleep.
I am alone in this room. The containment cell is empty. Just... just make me forget already.
I know that it does not exist... why don't... why can't... why did you have to show him to me?
Why did you have to take him away again?
I don't think I'm going to survive.
Why hasn't anyone come to get me?
It is assumed that Dr. Greaves fell unconscious at this point. The remainder of the logs are mostly silent up to the point where a
member of security staff noticed Dr. Greaves on closed-circuit monitoring several minutes later and called for help.
You should not be able to see this unless you're in source view

Item #: SCP-3242
Special Containment Procedures: The subject should be contained in a rodent cage. Live rodents or similar-sized animals should be
housed within the vicinity and are not to exceed forty in number.
Researchers are to call SCP-3242 "the subject" if mention of it is ever necessary.[1]
1. This became necessary after an incident where the subject became the rodent cage itself.
Assigned staff are allowed to leave the area unless the subject has vanished from containment. Should this occur, all staff working
with the subject must be contacted and pass two of three required tests:
A basic health evaluation.

A psychological evaluation.
Look into a mirror.
Description: The subject is an unknown organism restructured into a self-building program made for the assumed purpose of stealing
information. This program has been made "real" by unknown methods, seeming to work on predefined logic rather than natural laws. The
true appearance of the subject has been described as "less than grey" in the few verified observations available.
The logic by which the subject operates is thought to include the following:
Infection can spread through media concerning or specifically mentioning the subject, if the contents of the media are retained
in memory. Class-A Amnestics are the most effective way to reverse this.
When the subject replaces an object or entity, everything, including biological processes and materials often described as data
or code, is replaced. The matter that replaces it proves unattainable for testing.
The subject currently resembles Mus musculus or House mouse, of the BALB/c[2] strain. Iterations can be identified by random,
increasingly regular superficial changes in characteristics also specific to the species or "grouping" of the iteration appearance.
2. An inbred model of laboratory mice.
Addendum:
The anomaly was discovered in Brookfield Zoo on 6/15/2013. Risk to the public has been assumed self-negated as of 2/15/15, when the
number of individuals affected by the anomaly reached fifty without the immediate loss of the subject from its containment.
The mass, weight, and physical capabilities of each iteration are determined by species and/or stereotyping. Individuals unaware of
the subject are unable to be touched by the subject.[3]
3. Complications involving the subject and staff uninformed of the subjects' location are to be noted in later performance reviews.
The subject is also unable to interact with or touch powered technology. Attempts to take photographic evidence of the subject have
also failed. As of May 2015, the subject has appeared as an outline in photographs. Each subsequent iteration has shown increased
opacity in pictures.
Other abnormalities are noted:
A process similar to capillary action occurs when dermal areas are removed. The effectiveness of this lessens with repetition
and larger areas of removed dermis.
Internal physical functions are reduced to muscle spasms; the lack of air flow explains the loss of the subjects' ability to
speak. Conditions to observe the inner workings of the subject for longer than thirty seconds are difficult to accomplish.
Ability of the subject to continue living without major parts. This includes the loss of the head. Complete and simultaneous
removal has not been successful due to the fragile nature of the body.
The effect on substitutes given after the above; objects of appropriate shape have been observed to gain the same random visual
changes despite not actually functioning.
The subject can be destroyed with slight deliberate force.
Any part removed from the subject quickly dissipates.
Anything that the subject consumes is returned without any loss in mass. All materials consumed become their individual
ingredients[4]that previously constituted the former, albeit with an unusual color and viscosity.
4. This was determined from samples tested with analytical chemistry. Because the organs only mimic their original functions, this is being studied.
Visual anomalies within the area have been reported by staff since at least 1/1/15. Specific descriptions deviate slightly, but are
otherwise consistent:
block
1. An unknown species of owl with unreasonably long legs and a crown. Often noticed only as a shadow running through the nearest
wall. This has made attempts to capture it difficult and ongoing.
2. "Soft" masses that follow staff randomly. Changes in shape, size, and color are common.[5] No clearly aggressive or determined
behavior has been observed. Physical contact fails or causes the specific mass to "burst" and vanish.
3. A "pig" that possesses a long, prehensile body and no other limbs. Sometimes appears with multiple segments that move
independently, and may have a preference for appearing in high places. It disappears when approached.
4. An inverted wooden chair suspended five feet off the hallway floor at a diagonal angle, just outside of video surveillance.
Later found to merely be nailed to the wall and ceiling, and assumed related to previous responses from staff and security.
5. A cervine animal with goat horns- only has appeared during Christmas every year. Sometimes manifests as a humanoid with above
head and horns, or is seen as such despite conflicting perspectives. It may have an affinity for tableware.
6. Featureless humanoids that do not seem to possess arms. The few that observed it described a feeling of unplaceable anxiety and
helplessness. No movement has been noted from these.
7. An immaterial duplicate of a birthday cake from the family gathering of Researcher Andersen. It changed into a highly agitated
"unicorn" before vanishing and has not manifested since. Indentations in the floor following the incident have been found.
8. A sheaf of paper that appeared next to this file. Both were on the desk of Dr. Hester, and the manifested object disappeared
when Dr. Hester attempted to open it.
5. These characteristics seem to be influenced by emotion.
Some display the ability to move small objects but seem unable to pose any higher threat. As they have been observed manifesting in
new ways and copying forms on occasion, exact identities cannot be confirmed or determined.
Visual anomalies may not be dependent on the location of the subject, as previously believed.
Direct communication has had little to no success.
The subject may cause permanent code generation may occur on any blank storage device located within at least fifteen meters around
the subject. How or why this happens is currently unknown. The devices are filled with random syntax abbreviated names for amino
acids, repeated names of missing individuals, and known casualties in binary.
Exceptions to this are transcribed below and listed by the time of their realized corruption.

Note: This object was located in a storage closet over thirty meters away from the subject. Computers within the area were returned to
their factory settings and also moved.
The subject attempted to breach containment several times. When this failed the subject began to inflict damage to itself, resulting
in the loss of multiple animals and Dr. Haworth before preventative methods could be established.

And in his absence they came.
Once there was a child that wore the face of the man. The child followed the echoes of his dream, never learning why faerie tales are
real.
The child wasn't happy with this ending and became a dreamer.
Once there was a man that wanted to make a faerie tale.
He came from far, far away.
He claimed his desire to perform miracles. He claimed to not be alone in this desire.
He promised miracles for the good of all, calling out to the ailing beyond and those desperate enough to hear.
The death of death.
The release of pain.
The chance to shape our own world for the better.
We heard such promises and more, but did not understand.
He did, but time and what it changes cannot be halted.

He left the world his father thought of, that had been destined to die with him.

Please identify your Trial Key.
Any unwanted behavior from the subject that is not a risk to containment should be ignored. To do otherwise has proven to only
encourage the repetition of behavior.
Speaking about restricted information or previously assigned staff while within the vicinity of the subject may be considered grounds
for reprimand or demotion, depending on the infraction.
Note: Those incapable of maintaining emotional and psychological detachment should be given amnestics and reassigned.
As of 2/17/15, visual hallucinations do not qualify unless consistent aggressive behavior can be proven. Work-related stress is also
considered insufficient, unless elaborated upon with good reasoning.
Update:
Speaking, writing, or otherwise spreading anything about the subject, visual hallucinations, or any related information to any
unaffiliated parties at any location or time outside of prespecified exceptions will result in the termination of all specifically
involved in the infraction. Individuals, regardless of clearance level, that are given amnestics following the reading of this
document or any variations thereof are not applicable to this unless they are found to have regained memory and violated the
agreement.
This is applicable to all assigned, regardless of clearance level or reason of awareness.
The protocols defined in the containment procedures given to assigned staff, including those about the introduction of unaffiliated
personnel to the area, are not optional.
If you're having a bad day, just stay home.
If you can't ignore them, file for reassignment.
Don't make stupid decisions.
Don't even think about it.

SCP-3338
Otamatone wants to be your roommate~
By: Zyn
Rating: 236
Wilson Score: 0.95
Original Version
Instance of SCP-3338, residing in the lodgings of .
An SCP-3338 instance, having retrieved a lost pen.
Item #: SCP-3338
Special Containment Procedures: All known instances of SCP-3338 and the individuals sharing a living space with them are to be
monitored regularly via non-invasive methods. Foundation personnel are to conduct bi-monthly interviews with the human tenants under
the guise of maintaining compliance with building safety regulations. Removal of SCP-3338 instances and application of amnestics to
corresponding tenants may only be carried out with approval from the current project head.
Description: SCP-3338 refers to anomalous Otamatone[1] instruments which spontaneously manifest in apartments, townhouses, and college
dorm rooms in various urban areas of Japan.
1. Music note-shaped handheld electronic musical synthesizer toys, developed in Japan by the CUBE toy company and the Maywa Denki design firm. Otamatone
instruments are played by controlling the pitch of the sound with one hand on the stem, and squeezing the head of the instrument with the other hand to produce a
“wah” effect.
Though rarely-documented and lacking in replicable experimental data[2], SCP-3338 cases are believed to possess several events
consistent across all instances:
2. SCP-3338 manifestation seems to occur independently of any roommate-seeking advertisements.
SCP-3338 will only manifest in living areas currently being rented by a single individual with stable finances, who has
occupied the space for at least three months.
SCP-3338 tend to appear when the renter listens to music frequently, plays a musical instrument as a hobby, and/or enjoys
singing.
SCP-3338 instances manifesting will be accompanied by a small scrap of paper held in the instrument’s mouth, reading, "
はなのムメになで ~"[3]
SCP-3338 instances, upon initial manifestation, will typically appear inside the living space near the main entrance doorway.
Once a month, an SCP-3338 instance’s mouth will fill with Japanese yen paper money, totaling approximately 10 to 15 percent of
the tenant’s monthly rent fee. Money generated by this method has been determined to be legal (non-counterfeit) currency.
3. "Otamatōn wa anata no rūmumēto ni naritai desu", translated "Otamatone wants to be your roommate~".
SCP-3338 are visually identical to non-anomalous Otamatone instruments, and will function similarly to their non-anomalous
counterparts when played. Individuals who have encountered SCP-3338 have reported that the anomalous Otamatones will assist them with
finding small lost objects, including keys, public transportation tickets, identification cards, loose change, jewelry, and socks.[4]
4. According to interview testimony, these lost objects will be found in the Otamatone’s mouth upon the tenant's returning to the living space after having left
the building. The likelihood of finding a lost object allegedly increases if the Otamatone is spoken to about the missing article.
SCP-3338 will disappear from their corresponding living space when certain circumstances are met.[5] Currently, the following scenarios
are confirmed to result in demanifestation of an SCP-3338 instance:
5. All attempts to track SCP-3338 following demanifestation have failed.
The renting tenant changing living locations.

The renting tenant placing SCP-3338 outside the living space’s entrance threshold for more than one day (24 hours).
The renting tenant jokingly inserting trash, dirty articles of clothing, or other debris into the SCP-3338 instance’s mouth.
The renting tenant making rude comments about the SCP-3338 instance or attempting to use SCP-3338 as a decoration or piece of
furniture.
The renting tenant failing to set aside a designated place for the SCP-3338 instance to occupy comfortably.[6]
The instance of SCP-3338 having resided in a living space for over one year.
The renting tenant failing to speak to the SCP-3338 instance for over a week.
The renting tenant forgetting about the SCP-3338 instance’s existence due to application of amnestics.
Cameras of any type (hidden, cell phone, handheld) filming an SCP-3338 instance at rest for longer than 15 minutes.[7]
The application of tracking devices to an SCP-3338 instance.
7. Video footage of a human playing an SCP-3338 instance seems to be an exception to this.
6. Based on observed cases, leaving SCP-3338 on the ground, in a bathroom, or near trash receptacles has resulted in demanifestation.
Addendum 3338-1: On - - , Agent Shizuka Kato was able to trigger an SCP-3338 manifestation following a routine check-up
appointment with an SCP-3338 tenant. During the check-up, Agent Kato had expressed an interest in finding a co-occupant for her
current apartment, emphasizing the comfortable furniture and the proximity to a neighboring building that housed a jazz club. Upon
Agent Kato returning to her apartment, she noticed that an SCP-3338 instance had manifested on a side table close to the door.
Discussion is underway to allow Kato to occupy the apartment for longer than the agreed contract time, to better research the instance
of SCP-3338. See Addendum 3338-2.
Addendum 3338-2: As of - - , roughly 37 weeks following the initial manifestation of an SCP-3338 instance in Agent Kato's
apartment, a small "mini" [8] Otamatone instrument of the same color manifested next to the existing SCP-3338 instance. After reporting
the incident, Agent Kato prepared a resting spot for the new smaller SCP-3338 instance (tentatively designated SCP-3338-1) using a set
of towels. Upon returning home the next day, she discovered the two Otamatone sitting side by side, with a messily-scrawled note in
the SCP-3338-1 instance's mouth reading, " ばと ".[9]
9. "Oba-chan wa arigatō", translated "Thank you auntie".
8. A smaller version of the standard Otamatone, which plays preset songs rather than individual notes.
Personnel assigned to the SCP-3338 project are currently deciding how best to proceed.

SCP-3349
Printing EKG
By: Deleted Account

Rating: 117
Wilson Score: 0.91
Original Version
SCP-3349 on standard EKG[1] paper. Manifestations have been marked.
1. Electrocardiogram.
Item #: SCP-3349
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Individuals affected by SCP-3349 are to be admitted indefinitely as inpatients under routine care in
Foundation Long-Term Acute Care facilities so as to not re-expose SCP-3349 to civilian physicians and the medical community at large.
Reports of instances are to be intercepted by field agents, who are to use experiential discretion regarding the use of Class A
amnestics.
The cardiac activity of patients admitted with SCP-3349 is to be monitored at all times by a centralized telemetry unit, continuously
staffed with two 12-hour shift clerical personnel. Instances of SCP-3349 are to be reported by the clerical staff to the nursing staff
promptly via an exclusive telephone line. Electrical manifestations of SCP-3349 are to be captured when possible, the printouts
catalogued both in the patient's analog and electronic record.
Beginning in 1941, SCP-3349 has been actively expunged from the civilian medical community and literature, initially per endeavors of
Mobile Task Force Gamma 5 (“Red Herrings”) and since continued by the ongoing global acquisition and obscuration of case studies by
the D.E.A.
Description: SCP-3349 is a nonfatal cardiac arrhythmia that has a 42.8% incidence following a specific sequence of intravenous drug
administrations:
150 mg IV drip of amiodarone (infused over 15 minutes)

1 g IV infusion of magnesium (infused over 1 hour)
1 ampule of sodium bicarbonate (infused over 3-4 minutes)
0.1 mcg IV of epinephrine (immediate push)
SCP-3349 is not constant and appears periodically in the affected individual with an average of nine occurrences per day, lasting for
an average of three minutes per occurrence. Subjectively, patients report feeling comforted, elated, and euphoric. Objectively, SCP-
3349 produces a “fluttering” central and peripheral pulse upon palpation, often described as tactilely similar to a purr of Felis
catus (the common house cat), and can be auscultated with a stethoscope, the clinical descriptions also citing the purr of Felis
catus.[2]

of Medicine, 40(5), 233-253.
On electrocardiogram, SCP-3349's manifestations display commonalities with the waveforms of human vocalizations. Spectrographically-
reconstructed audio signals[3] based on SCP-3349's electrical signatures produce various intonations of human-like laughter, wailing,
and speech (See "Audio Data" below). Auditory outputs resembling the purr of Felis catus have also been reported.
3. Approximated via Analysis & Resynthesis Sound Spectrograph
SCP-3349 is non-curable and is refractory to defibrillation at 200, 300, and 360 Joules. There are no known precipitating or
alleviating factors regarding SCP-3349, other than the aforementioned induction. Despite the erratic electrical activity, patients
remain stable, though few may experience some reduction in exercise tolerance.

Subject: Macy
Present are Dr. Robert Whote (“Dr.W”), Cathy Williams RN (“C”), Beverley Macintosh RN (“B”), Susan Bolero (typist). Patient is lying
supine in 4-point restraints, EKG leads attached.
Dr.W: Bev, can we get in the the uh-
B: The amio is pulled, just going to put it in the saline Doctor.
Dr.W: Ok good.
B: What are you going to say, Doctor?
Dr.W: Don’t know Bev.
C: EKG is ready.
Dr.W: Let’s begin. This is Macy 32 year old white female, past medical history of hysteria and celiac disease, no known drug
allergies or surgical history. The medications indicated in the procedure notes are prepared and we are accessing by a left external
jugular central catheter. Medical number is . All in agreement?
All: Yes.
08:36 - Dr. Whote successfully induces the arrhythmia.
Dr.W: Alright. Can we pull the machine over closer I can’t see it.
C: Is that it? there?
Dr.W: I don’t know Cathy I need to see. Alright keep the blood pressure cuff cycling.
08:37 - Dr. Whote and his staff initiate messages (“Hello”, “Greetings”, “What is your name?”) coded in Morse and delivered by (1)
playing the auditory sequence near the ear of the patient, (2) manual percussion at the sternum, and (3) electrical impulses via
transvenous pacing. The Dr. places his stethoscope on the patients chest.
Dr.W: Can you hear me?
Dr. moves his stethoscope to various points. RNs continue repeating the messages in Morse code.
Dr.W: We would like to speak with you, if that is alright. You can trust me. Can you tell me who you are? Do you have a name?
EKG machine beeping, no change. The rhythm is evident on print-outs. No response from the patient or the team.
Dr.W: I say, this is a Doctor; I am attempting to speak with you. If you can hear me then let us know somehow.
No indication of a reply. The Dr. takes his stethoscope off after several minutes of searching and listening.
Dr.W: This is as ridiculous as a seance. Turn all that **** off.
RNs comply and the test is aborted.
Addendum 3349.02: Over sixty years after the above session, Junior Researcher Mark Regimere (since promoted) recovered the actual EKG
printouts (previously presumed lost) and submitted them to novel methods to approximate the captured signatures as spectrograms. Below
are the outputs when set to logarithmic scales:
Spectrogram 3349.DW.01
Spectrogram 3349.DW.02
Cross-reference with Foundation data suggests with a 95% confidence interval that the youth depicted in the above spectrograms to be
the deceased daughter of Dr. Whote, who was lost to a pedestrian-versus-automobile collision at the untimely age of six.
Additional attempts at communication with SCP-3349 are currently being authorized.

Item #: SCP-3456
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3456 is currently uncontained; all attempts to contain or neutralize it have failed. Research into
methods for containment are ongoing. Personnel who observe the entity are to be treated with Class G amnestics, and must be located
with at least one freshwater stream, river, or lake within 1 km of the treatment facility. All historical references to SCP-3456 are
to be removed and/or attributed to myth, shell-shock, PTSD, and hysteria. Reports regarding loss of life and damage as a result of
SCP-3456 incidents should be scrubbed of all references to the anomaly, and replaced with narratives involving military conflict,
natural, or man-made disasters.
Regions in which SCP-3456 are likely to appear are to be monitored regularly. Personnel are to be deployed to aid evacuation efforts
in the event of an incident. Direct observation of SCP-3456 should be avoided.
Description: SCP-3456 are a group of quadrupeds resembling horses and other equines. Individual instances deviate significantly from
other equines, particularly due to the lack of hair, presence of three-toed hooves, thick transluscent skin, and either single or
multiple human torsos fused to its back in addition to the normal equine head attached to the horse's body.
Each torso has a pair of arms and a head attached, where the arm-span reaches twice the height of the entity itself,[1] and end in 5
sharpened, protruding bone digits in place of human fingers. In most instances, SCP-3456 possesses a hole where the human nose is
normally located, and is capable of emitting high-pitched screams up to 110 decibels in intensity. The size of each SCP-3456 instance
varies, with the largest recorded manifestation reaching 30 m in height, and 15 m in length. SCP-3456 instances, thus far, have proven
to be impervious to conventional weapons.
1. Which causes these appendages to drag along the ground during the entity's movements.
Instances materialize near the sites of war, terrorist attacks, and natural disasters. Multiple manifestations may occur depending on
the scale of the event, as indicated by the entity's materialization during numerous historical events throughout the 19th, 20th, and
21st centuries. SCP-3456 instances display high levels of adaptive intelligence during incidents, often engineering situations to trap
or torture their targets.[2] Due to this, it is currently theorized that SCP-3456 may be sapient.
2. Common tactics include ambushes, luring, property destruction, and psychological manipulation.
Direct observation of SCP-3456 by an individual will result in the entity becoming aware of the observer, at which point it will
display directional awareness of said individuals at all times. SCP-3456 manifestations are known to engage in predatory and stalking
behavior, utilizing the environment to conceal and camouflage themselves. Survivors of such behavior report that the entity will
manipulate, and follow its targets, pursuing them well beyond the site of initial manifestation (See Incident Log I-3456-032).[3] SCP-
3456 will continue such behaviors, deliberately exposing itself to as many individuals as possible, until it has captured a large
number of individuals, at which point it will dematerialize.[4] What happens to subjects taken by SCP-3456 is currently not known.
Should SCP-3456 be incapable of collecting a sufficient number of subjects, it will continually materialize near individuals who have
observed it before, until it is able to capture them.
4. The conditions and exact number of people SCP-3456 requires to reach satisfaction are unknown, and appear to vary between individual appearances.
3. Such individuals describe SCP-3456 "stomping" and "breathing", in close proximity to where they were concealed, for hours before appearing to give up, only to
return once they had emerged from their place of refuge.
SCP-3456 is either unwilling to cross, or incapable of crossing, bodies of fresh water. This was initially discovered by Foundation
plants within Basrah, Iraq, during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Foundation agents were forced into rapid retreat across the Tigris river
by three SCP-3456 manifestations, at which time they discovered that the instances either could not or would not set foot onto the
bridge. How and why SCP-3456 is unable to cross such geographic boundaries is currently unknown.

The following section contains journal entries from Dave Harkand, an infantryman in the British Expeditionary Force during World War
I. This journal describes several SCP-3456 sightings over the course of The Battle of the Somme.
June 27th, 1916
Finally arrived at the front! I picked up this little journal while I was in Paris, figured I might as well keep record of my
heroics on the battlefield. Quite chuffed to finally be in action, though it seems I'm the only one. Most of these blokes have been
fighting for a couple months now, and they look downright dreadful. Mud all over the uniform, and their faces are so pale, look like
they haven't eaten or slept for months. Commanding officer is rather shit hot[5] for battle, it's quite admirable.
5. British slang for overly enthusiastic.
July 2nd, 1916
Woke in the early hours of the morning. Ground was shaking, damn near shook me out into the muck on the dugout floor. Poor blokes in
the bunks on the other side looked liked they had seen a ghoul. Pair of Northern Irish lads from Kitchener’s Armies if I remember
right. Kept muttering about a Nuckatee? Must be some Mick[6] thing. Were both gripping a gold crucifix. Was about to lay my head back
down and get a wink of shuteye when I ended up scrambling into the mud. Loudest damn thing I'd ever heard. Thought it was the Hun
Artillery bout to mark us with a whizz-bang, only problem was, never did get the bang. This morning asked our brass hat about the
Artillery barrage. Gave me a funny look, and asked what the bloody hell I was talking about.
6. British slur for the Irish.
July 2nd 1916
We went looking for the dud that must have come down last night. Didn't find it, but found something even the amen wallah[7] probably
can't explain. Strangest looking crater I've ever seen, was shaped like a giant hoof.
7. British Military slang for a Chaplain.
July 3rd, 1916
Huns made a push today, first time they've moved in our region. First time I'd ever seen combat. It's not romantic and adventurous.
It's terrifying, and deadly. My hands can't stop shaking, already messed up the chit[8] once. The Huns had our outfit up against a
wall, damn near overran us, didn't help that it rained the night before making our fox hole filled to the brim with muck. One of the
Fritz came right at me just I put one right between his eyes. Fell right at the edge of the trench, and had to look him in the eyes,
poor lad couldn't have been more than 17 or 18.
8. British slang for paper.
Martin, one of those Irish lads, is gone. Was unlike anything I'd ever seen, one moment he's standing shooting at the Huns, all of
the sudden, the mud starts boiling. Fore anyone can react, Mud just flies everywhere, everyone else is suddenly knocked down off
their feet. I look up, the wanker's just gone. Wasn't even body parts left. Haven't told anyone but I'd swear that there was bones
coming up from underneath him right before the mud went flying. His mate, Brendan, was digging in the mud for hours, looking for the
crucifix.
July 14th & 15th, 1916
Huns tried to push this morning in the rain. I was in the machine gun nest with Brendan, the other Irish chap in my unit. They kept
coming and coming, and getting stuck in the mud, and I just kept shooting.
Sun is rising. I'm on watch till 8, at least that's what the Brasshat said. I've started losing track of how much times been
passing. There's something out there. Something lurking out in the mud and dead Huns. Nearly dozed off last night, listening to the
moans of the blighty wounded stuck out in No-man's land. Poor bastards got left behind. Saw something out of the edge of my vision,
something big. Couldn't quite make it out, it was much darker than usual, overcast sky was obscuring the full moon. Heard a couple
of screams, but whatever it was was gone before my flare hit the sky.
July 30th, 1916
I've been seeing them at the edge of my vision, ever since that first night. They're huge, but they move so damn fast that they're
gone before I can get a clear look. Or at least, that's how it was mucking out until today. Thick fog and mist rolled in this
morning, blanketed everything. We figured the Huns might use it to launch another push. Bastards have been pushing non-stop since
the 20th. Saw it, through the fog, looked like a shadow, hiding in the mist. Some sort of Horse like creature, with a something
dragging along the ground, and a giant lump where the rider would sit cept the lump started moving. Could have sworn it was a
person, or something that looked like a person. Sat up, and the things dragging along the ground reached out in front of it and
picked up something, thought it was a couple dead Jerry's until they started squirming. I'll never forget the noise it made. Louder
than a banshee, shrill and twisted.
It looked right at me. Two pairs of red glowing orbs.
August 5th
Brendan calls them Nuckelavees. Won't tell me much more than that. Beginning to understand why all these blokes looked so terrified
when I first arrived.
August 13th
Bloody hell. Bloody hell. They're nightmares. Been on watch two nights in a row, one just appeared right there, right in front of
me. 20 feet, had to be at least 20 feet away. Towered into the sky. Got my flare to go off in time to see it pick up a couple
wounded Jerry's in the mud. They don't have bloody skin. There's just muscle, and fat. The thing on its back wasn't human, no way
could it be human. Had no skin either, no legs, just merged straight into the horse at the stomach. I took a couple shots at it with
my rifle did absolutely nothing, like I was shooting it with a sling shot. It stopped soon as my flare reached its highest point,
and turned. Looked straight down at me, both the horse and the thing on its back. It smiled.
August 17th 1916
Been assigned night watch the past four nights straight. Tried to tell the brass hat about the nuckelavees. Didn't believe me. Said
it was the shell shock playing with my head. Had to put a sock in it, and keep on.
It keeps coming back. Every night. Same spot, 20 feet in front of me. Picks up wounded Jerry's, turns and looks and then it's gone.
It's playing with me, I'm sure of it. Last night there was another one too. Four of those things on its back, did the same damn
thing.
7:00 A.M. August 20th 1916
Jerry's made a big push yesterday. Rained two days ago, all day, so the muck was deep. We were on the machinegun again in the
pillbox. So many of them in no-man's land last night, couldn't tell the dead from the living. Haven't slept in six days. There were
five tonight. Three of them had more than one of those things on their back. The one that keeps coming back dropped something. Saw
it shine in the flare light.
10:00 A.M. August 20th 1916
Went out into the mud where it appears every night. Found Martin's crucifix and tin hat.
August 20th 1916
They're getting bold, saw one out in broad daylight. Pretty sure it was the same one. Buried itself in the mud, just lying there
waiting.
We're going over the top at three. There are more out there now all doing the same thing god help us.
Official records show that Dave Harkand was declared MIA on August 20th, following a failed British counterattack against the German
trenches. Additional queries have revealed that one Brendan O'Malley within the same unit was also reported MIA on the same date.
Harkand's Journal was found 20 feet from the edge of the German trenches, two months after he disappeared.

SCP-3512
The More You Know
By: psul
Rating: 348
Wilson Score: 0.92
Original Version
"Sagrada Familia" Basilica
Item #: SCP-3512
Special Containment Procedures: Persons affected by SCP-3512 are to be accommodated in standard humanoid containment cells. Missing
persons information and amnestics are to be distributed as necessary. Media reports are to be monitored for evidence of SCP-3512
cases, with potential outbreaks investigated.
The entrance to the cavern system beneath Sagrada Familia is to be secured and surveillance established. Mobile Task Force Zeta-9
("Mole Rats") is to continue exploration of the system, remaining alert for the presence of SCP-3512-1 or any other anomalous
phenomena.
Mobile Task Force Alpha-4 ("Pony Express") is to conduct a search and monitoring operation to identify potential instances of SCP-
3512-2 in the pre-publishing or distribution stages.
Description: SCP-3512 is a phenomenon which leads to significant changes in the personality and psychological stability of certain
women between the ages of 18 and 40. To date, nine such women have been identified and contained by the Foundation, and a further
suspected instance was found deceased in her home.
Women affected by SCP-3512 score extremely highly on NEO-PI-R measures for openness, extraversion and agreeableness. This is the case
regardless of previous personality indicators, and affected women do not appear to be aware of such changes. The behaviour of affected
women is characterised by high sociability and lack of inhibition, punctuated by prolonged bouts of uncontrollable screaming. The
incidence and duration of screaming has been observed to decline over a 4-5 month period. Other personality changes appear to be
permanent.
Potential occurrences of SCP-3512 in several countries are being reviewed. All confirmed cases of SCP-3512 linked to an initial
outbreak in Barcelona, Spain, which was investigated by Foundation Agents Riley Cooper and Tomàs Rey. Agent Cooper's notes are
included below to provide further description of the anomaly and surrounding circumstances.

Investigation Notes
15 July 2016: Landed 16:15. Hot here - hotter than Boston was, and no breeze to speak of. Agent Rey met me at the hotel, offered to
show me the city skyline. I said no, thought we'd get going, but he was in no hurry. Cultural thing, maybe? Shame if I was rude, but
I could do with the sleep.
16 July 2016: Still hot. Rey finally showed at 10:15. Still, my director says he gets results - and he's pretty much the only
Foundation here. Headed to meet the victims - got coffee first.
Have to admit, Rey does well with the locals. Our cover is a mental health survey for the WHO, and he plays a convincing doctor.
Interviews productive - see tapes.
Observations: families aren't involved. They're too genuinely shocked - Rey had to work to calm and persuade them. Victims are no
help - symptoms as per initial report, they have no awareness of how changed they are - how plastic and unreal. I think that scares
the families more than the screaming.
This doesn't feel like a basic coghaz - something about their eyes, the change isn't superficial. They're so sincere in their
delusion. So "up for it".
17 July 2016: More interviews today - not much new. The same smiles from the girls, the same crying families. We tested amnestics -
nothing. If it's memetic, it goes deeper than memory.
One possibility: a younger sister mentioned something I recognised from yesterday's tapes. "Apagada". I thought "cancelled", but Rey
tells me the Catalan is more like "blackout". We ask some of the victims, and the screaming starts immediately. A mother shakes her
head - it's a nightclub, her Teia always talked about going, the mother knew it was trouble.
Later, I ask Rey. He knows it. It's open tomorrow night.

18 July 2016: Rey comes to get me at 21:00, laughs at what I'm wearing. Not like I planned on clubbing. He tells me his sister may
have something I can use. I'm worried we'll be late, but apparently nothing opens before midnight. His sister I like - teases Rey
about his shirt, finds something reasonable for me. Doesn't ask why I need it.
Of course the club is dark. Loud, hot, crowded. I feel like I stand out - Rey tells me not to worry. He's good - moving around the
room, talking to people, fitting in. Better for me to wait on my own, see who approaches.
Plenty do, but no-one interesting. Until around 2:00. Blond guy, tall, slides in next to me at the bar, and offers to buy me a
drink. He asks me my favourite star, and I think it's the start of a bad pick-up line, then realise he's serious. Something about
him - confident, charming, but too much eye contact. Speech too precise. Not drunk enough.
My eyes flick over to see where Rey is, and the guy spots it. Suddenly he's leaving, pushing through the crowds. By the time I get
outside, he's gone, but I get lucky. 20 euros and the doorman tells me he's a regular. Another 20 gets me a name - Josep Oriol.
19 July 2016: Oriol is now officially a PoI. Rey used a contact, turned up an address. Oriol wasn't home, looks like he didn't come
home, but the flat is full of incriminating stuff. Rey is submitting full photos, but three things stood out.
First, a bunch of architectural plans - buildings, utilities, railway tunnels. Oriol is a software developer - what does he need
those for?
A book sitting on the kitchen table, free of clutter: used regularly. Looks like a publisher's proof - plain cover, simple type.
Didn't open it without coghaz screening, but it just had that feeling.
And next to the book, some kind of fucked-up sculpture lying on a dishcloth. Like a blob of candle-wax, carved into points and with
- well, it looked like legs stuck into it. Pieces of Lego and Meccano, rose stems, a crab claw, a corkscrew. What I think was a
skeleton key.
Rey called me into the bedroom, and there were boxes full of the same kind of stuff. Bodkins, quills, doll's limbs, wire. Syringes.
I pulled him into the kitchen to show him the sculpture - and it was gone.[1]
1. Note: Missing item subsequently classified as an instance of SCP-3512-1.
20:30: Back at the hotel. I've been reading the book - started by using the filters, but there's no coghaz here. Just really weird
shit. This whole thing feels off.[2]
2. Note: Book subsequently classified as SCP-3512-2.
23:45: Command just came back with information on the architectural plans - the majority match up with municipal records, but not
all. A schematic of the high-speed rail tunnel has a side passage that should not be there. It seems to lead to a spiral staircase,
heading downward. I've confirmed with Command - we're going tonight to investigate. Maybe we'll catch up with Mr Oriol and find out
how much he knows.
SCP-3512-1 - Information and Recovered Materials Re-secure data
Materials from the limbs of a SCP-3512-1 instance - photographs by MTF Zeta-9
SCP-3512-1 is the collective designation for a category of objects or entities described in Chapter Twelve [18] of SCP-3512-2. Each
instance consists of a central mass composed of carved adipose tissue, with twelve loosely attached appendages or limbs used for
locomotion and other actions. The text describes SCP-3512-1 instances with a central mass approximately 5cm in diameter, and using
simple household objects for the appendages.
No active instances have been contained, although sites of investigation have yielded evidence of discarded SCP-3512-1 limbs.
Of the SCP-3512-1 instances observed by Foundation personnel, the largest had a total diameter of approximately 3.5 meters, with each
of its appendages composed of a human spine tipped with a muculent gastropod foot. The limbs were regularly distributed around the
central mass, attached by a loose conglomeration of animal ligaments and metal chains.
Several detached appendages of this instance were recovered by Mobile Task Force Zeta-9 ("Mole Rats") in explorations of the caverns
beneath North-East Barcelona, following Incident 3512/A.
Sentient behaviour of SCP-3512-1 instances has been observed, and the text of SCP-3512-2 suggests a degree of sapience. The relevant
extract of SCP-3512-2 is included in the addendum below.
SCP-3512-2 - Excerpts Re-secure data
Items recovered from the apartment of PoI-3512-5 (Josep Oriol) include an advance review copy of a book entitled "The More You Know: A
Pick-Up Artist's Bible", classified as SCP-3512-2. The author is referred to by the pseudonym "Enigma"; no publication information is
included in the copy.
The book is non-fiction, consisting of 625 pages and containing a foreword attributed to hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg. Each of the first
eleven chapters is based on the "seduction community", providing anecdotes, advice and techniques for men to influence social groups,
and attract and seduce women. The remaining twelve chapters (each labelled "Chapter Twelve") diverge from the main text on a range of
esoteric subjects including advanced geometric proofs, the interpretation of dreams, do-it-yourself surgical techniques, symbolism in
architecture and anomalous rituals. The book's afterword is composed of more than 15,000 anagrams of the book's title, laid out in
spiral and triangular patterns.
Excerpts from SCP-3512-2
Chapter One - The More You Know
If you're reading this book, you're probably a bit of a loser. Don't make that face: you know it, and I know it. The whole reason
you're reading this is to stop being a loser - to get more confident in social situations, to feel comfortable talking to women, to
understand the complexities of modern dating. Oh yeah, and (let's not kid ourselves) to get laid - like, a lot.
My name is Enigma, and I am going to show you how to do all this and more, with my sure-fire methods to seduce women. Hot women -
hotter than you dare dream possible. Trust me: I used to be just like you. Now, I drive a Lambo, wear a Hublot, and can bang any
chick I want. Cocky? Sure. But you know you want to be a star like me. And with my blend of social psychology, neuro-linguistic
programming and good old-fashioned balls, you can be any kind of star you want. Because the more you know, the more you score.

what you would normally do in that situation. But not any more. Now that you've learned the basic rules of the Game, you can start
on your path to higher things.
The first thing you need to do is stop thinking of hot women as women. In fact, stop thinking about them as people. Think of them
like instruments - before you can play them, you need to know how to tune them. This chapter will show you how to find the resonance
frequency of any woman
Chapter Twelve [12]: You Know Theorem
which brings us to the small stellated dodecahedron, a nonconvex regular polyhedron composed of twelve pentagrammic faces, with
each of the twelve vertices forming the meeting point of five pentagrams. Its Schläfli symbol is {5/2 , 5}, a fact I have dropped
into many a flirtatious conversation, to great effect.
The small stellated dodecahedron has long been known in artistic circles as a potent aphrodisiac and as a cure for impotence. The
works of M.C. Escher (who knew how to pull) and Paolo Uccello (whose name literally means "bird") are obvious examples.[ [3] ]
Uccello's father was a barber-surgeon, a common profession in the 14th century: they did everything from a quick shave to amputating
limbs. The more you know!
3. These references are believed to be to Escher's Gravitation and Uccello's mosaics for St Mark's Basilica in Venice.
So put yourself back in that imaginary bar, but this time, with a small stellated dodecahedron in your pocket
Chapter Twelve [14]: Where to, You Monk?

Photograph from Chapter Twelve [14]
The Italians don't have the monopoly on shapely figures. There are many tricks and tips that you can learn from Spain - home of
Don Juan and Torquemada. First, let's talk about Gaudí.
Antoni Gaudí lived like a monk so that you don't have to. Ascetic, unsociable and celibate, he channelled his energies into
architecture of the most profound and powerful nature.
Gaudí was the opposite of everything I've told you to be. By the end of his life, he was dishevelled, skinny and never spoke to
women. Gaudí was beaten in a mob, imprisoned, and eventually struck by a tram and killed - far from being recognised, he was
mistaken for a beggar. So why would I even bring him up? Because Gaudí understood that everything has a purpose, and that organic
and anarchic forms can be used to capture beauty and fix it in place forever. This is something we'll explore further over the next
chapters.
Gaudí's Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família stood unconsecrated for 128 years. You can see it in Figure 27, rising
inexorably out of the shattered rock, black goats drawn to it as if called

make a rough ball of the materials you've harvested, and place it in the freezer for 6-12 hours. Pork fat can be used, but will
have less satisfactory results. Who knew, right?
While you wait, you can prepare the limbs. Concentrate on articulation rather than strength. You may want to add simple tools to
some limbs, if the object of your desire is more careful than most, but remember that the more complicated you make them, the more
precise your sculpting will need to be. Lay your prepared limbs out on a clean, flat surface.
Once your adipose preparation has had time to freeze, carefully carve it into the shape you learned in Chapter Twelve. You will know
it is ready when you see it start smiling at you. Now introduce the limbs - they should "take" almost immediately.
Wait until your intended is likely to be sleeping, then concentrate your thoughts on her face, and particularly the inside of her
mouth and throat. Soon you'll see your new friend scurry off, ready to help you establish social dominance.
Chapter Twelve [19]: Ewok Tumor-Honey
Double check that your scissors are comfortably within reach, with the blades sitting over the flame of your stove, or under the
oven grill if you don't have gas. If you have parents or siblings with you, now is a good time to check that their bindings are
tight. Don't be tempted to start with them first - this way is more difficult, but if seduction was easy, everyone would do it.
Now, with your right hand, get a firm grip on your left little finger. Take a deep breath. Then pull down sharply towards the side
of your left hand. Your little finger should make a clean snapping sound. If not, take another deep breath and try again. Next, take
the scissors

Entrance to caverns as filmed in Incident 3512/A
Exploration Logs - Incident 3512/A
Recording source: Body-cameras of Agent Cooper and Agent Rey
Location: Uncharted cavern system beneath Barcelona, Spain
Date: 20 July 2016 - recording commences 1:07am local time
Both agents' body-cams are set for low-light conditions. The agents walk slowly down a narrow spiral staircase made from smooth
stone. Agent Cooper's flashlight illuminates the stairs below. Agent Rey is following.
<echoing footsteps>
Agent Cooper: Okay, we're probably about eighty feet below the rail tunnel now.
Agent Rey: How far down do these bastard stairs go?
Agent Cooper: No idea.
Agent Rey: Surely we could continue this investigation back at the club?
Agent Cooper: I'm not sure what you were doing counts as investigation.
Agent Rey: Ah, you Americans don't know how to live your lives.
Agent Cooper: I've reached the bottom. You don't have much further.
Agent Cooper stands in a low room, shining her flashlight between three tunnel entrances. Agent Rey walks forward to join her.
Agent Rey: Thank God. So which passage do we take?
Agent Cooper's camera picks up a movement some way down the left-hand tunnel. The agents do not appear to notice.
Agent Cooper: I say the centre. Smoothest floor, makes sense it's used the most.
Agent Rey: You're the boss. They all look equally dark and unpleasant to -
Agent Cooper: Sh! Did you hear something?
Agent Rey: Nothing. Maybe the trains?
Agent Cooper: I don't think so - it's too late for that. And it sounded different. Let's get going. But quietly.
The agents proceed into the tunnel, walking for approximately 12 minutes along a gradual downward slope. The walls and ceiling are
also slanted slightly inwards, gradually reducing the size of the tunnel.
Agent Cooper: Looks like a chamber up ahead.
Agent Rey: About time!
The agents emerge into a larger room. Passages continue ahead and to the left, and stone steps lead up to a hole in the ceiling. The
walls and ceiling are elaborately carved into abstract organic shapes. The agents separate, looking at the chamber walls.
Agent Rey: It looks like they're melted.
Agent Cooper: I think that's decoration.
Agent Rey: <Looking up the steps> This place must be enormous. You think we're under the Basilica right now?
Agent Cooper: Could be - aah!
Agent Rey: Cooper! You okay?
Agent Rey runs across to Agent Cooper, who is standing by an alcove in the right-hand wall.
Agent Rey: Déu n'hi do!
Agent Cooper: God, what is that?
There is a small shape in the alcove. The camera moves closer, revealing a tight bundle of amputated human fingers, pointing
outwards.
Agent Rey: Who are these people?
Agent Cooper: It's your city. Okay, let's keep going.
Agent Rey draws his service weapon. Both agents move cautiously into the tunnel opposite the entrance. A dark, viscous substance
covers the upper third of the tunnel, shining in the torchlight and occasionally forming large droplets that splatter on the floor.
Agent Rey: What is that shit?
Agent Cooper: Try not to get it on you. We'll take samples on the way back.
The tunnel curves, changing direction regularly, including several steep descents. The agents continue walking for approximately 15
minutes. A whirring mechanical sound slowly becomes audible.
Agent Rey: Can you feel that? The air feels warmer.
Agent Cooper: Another chamber ahead - looks larger.
Agent Rey: Eugh. What is that smell?
Agent Cooper: Oh - that's awful.
The agents emerge into a large natural cavern. Its total size is not clear - the flashlight beams do not reach its far side.
Stalactites hang from the roof, and have been carved with shapes including orchids, barnacles and rows of human teeth. The
mechanical noise is louder.
The agents walk slowly across the cave floor, scanning with their torches.
Agent Rey: <muffled> The fuck is that?
Agent Cooper: <gagging noises>
The agents reach the banks of a wide, slow-moving river. The surface is pallid and gelatinous, churning with the sluggish current.
Downstream, the river flows into a low tunnel.
Agent Rey: A goddamn river of fat. Look at it - it's like it's alive.
Agent Cooper: Congealed lard and grease - must be thousands of gallons. That's where the smell is coming from, and the heat - I bet
it's oily underneath that top layer.
Agent Rey: Hey, look - on the other side!
The flashlights shine across the river, revealing three industrial-sized book printing machines. Each is operating noisily, although
no electrical connection is evident.
Agent Cooper: One guess as to what they're printing.
Agent Rey: There's no way across. And no exits.
Agent Cooper: That river is flowing somewhere.
Agent Rey: Go into that tiny tunnel? No way. Get the Mole Rats in this shit.
Agent Rey walks across to the other side of the cave, flashlight beam waving.
Agent Cooper: Okay, okay. Let me get some samples, and then we can go back and try some other passages.
Agent Rey turns.
Agent Rey: Look, you can be a neula if you want to, but I -
Agent Rey freezes in place, flashlight pointed at the ceiling.
Agent Cooper: Rey?
Agent Rey: <whispering> Above you. Slowly.
Agent Cooper: What? What is it?
Agent Cooper leans back, and the camera tilts upwards. On the ceiling is an SCP-3512-1 instance approximately 3.5m across, with a
central mass 1.5m in diameter. The instance has limbs composed of human spines. Four of these limbs are clinging to a stalactite
directly above Agent Cooper, with the others reaching downwards. Agent Cooper raises her service weapon.
Agent Rey: Fuck, it's huge.
Agent Cooper: It's smiling at me. Why is it smiling at me?
Agent Rey: Cooper, what are you - Cooper!
The SCP-3512-1 instance drops from the roof towards Agent Cooper. Agent Cooper fires several shots, appearing to strike the limbs of
the instance without effect. The central mass of the SCP-3512-1 instance lands directly on top of Agent Cooper, and her body camera
is obscured by a white substance.
Agent Rey's camera films the SCP-3512-1 instance moving towards the river, with Agent Cooper embedded in its central mass. Agent
Cooper struggles briefly, and her body then goes limp.
Agent Rey: Vés a la merda.
The SCP-3512-1 instance jumps into the river of fat, dragging Agent Cooper with it.
Agent Rey's body-camera is switched off, and does not reactivate.
Agent Cooper's body-camera remains obscured, but records the wet, sucking noises of the underground river.
20 minutes pass.
Suddenly, the body-camera is no longer obscured, and refocuses to show a very large domed chamber, dimly lit. The river drops from
the upper wall of one side of the chamber in a waterfall of curdled fat, and faint splattering sounds can be heard. The microphone
also picks up laboured breathing, but no speech.
The view turns to show the opposite side of the dome. This contains an expansive fresco, depicting the Virgin Mary, pregnant,
chained to a star-shaped rack by her ankles, wrists and neck. At the base of the figure's throat, a pipe protrudes from the fresco,
emitting dark smoke that drifts slowly downwards.
The camera leans forward. The floor of the chamber is partially obscured by smoke, but movement is visible beneath. Moving lower,
the camera reveals many hundreds of small SCP-3512-1 instances, in constant motion around and over each other.
Agent Cooper: <indistinct> Hello? Anyone?
Agent Cooper's body-camera rises and moves at a swift walk across the chamber. The movement stirs up the smoke, allowing a clearer
view of the chamber floor. There is a human figure lying face-down on the floor, around 30 metres from the camera.
Agent Cooper: <louder> Hello? Who's there?
The SCP-3512-1 instances on the floor are avoiding the prone figure, leaving a circle of empty flagstones around it. As the camera
approaches, the figure turns. It is Agent Cooper.
Agent Cooper: <giggling> Wow, that was intense. But I could dance some more, you know? Woo! <screaming>
Agent Cooper looks up and ceases screaming. She smiles, twisting the ends of her hair with her fingers.
Agent Cooper: Hey, wait a second. What's your name, handsome?
The figure wearing the body-camera reaches towards Agent Cooper. Its hand is covered in raw cuts across the palm and wrist. Seven
additional fingers protrude from the wounds. All fingers appear to be mobile.
The hand pushes Agent Cooper's hair back from her face, caressing her cheek.
Unidentified: <heavy, ragged breathing>
Agent Cooper: Aw, you're funny and sweet.
Agent Cooper nuzzles her face against the figure's hand, briefly sucking on one of the additional fingers.
Agent Cooper: <laughing> Hey baby, come here.
Agent Cooper reaches up toward the figure. She removes the combat vest containing the body-camera, and places it on the floor of the
chamber. The camera is obscured by SCP-3512-1 instances crawling over the vest, and by the thick smoke.
The camera records the scratching and skittering noises of the SCP-3512-1 instances. In the background, indistinct grunting sounds
can be heard. These continue for a period of approximately seven minutes, and then cease.
Two minutes later, there is a sharp scream and the distant sound of an object landing heavily. The movement of the SCP-3512-1
instances intensifies, becoming frenzied. The camera rises as the combat vest is picked up. It is abruptly thrown downwards, falling
through the smoke into a pit in the floor of the chamber.
The camera falls approximately twenty metres, landing on what appears to be a number of human corpses piled in the centre of the
pit. Light conditions are very low, and the camera's view is obscured by a female face in the early stages of putrefaction. It
remains able to record sound.
Agent Cooper: <calling out> Baby, don't go.
A heavy scraping noise is heard from above, and the light grows dimmer.
Agent Cooper: Baby, I hurt my leg. Stay with me?
Several other female voices can be heard calling out from within the pit. The camera's view becomes completely dark.
Over the next 28 hours, the camera records the sounds of at least eight female voices. Vocalisations consist primarily of laughter,
screaming and indistinct speech. There is no increase in light levels.
Agent Cooper is heard clearly only once, when she approaches the camera's position after approximately 20 hours.
Agent Cooper: I'm hungry. <giggling>
The camera's position is disturbed slightly, and then settles.
At around 26 hours, a deep grinding sound reverberates from below the camera's position. It continues for four minutes, during which
the voices in the pit fall silent. The camera records for a further 2 hours in darkness before its batteries expire.
Afterword: Foundation investigators discovered Agent Cooper's body-camera at the top of the spiral staircase, near the entrance to the
caverns. It was no longer attached to her combat vest. While MTF Zeta-9 has gained access to the caves, exploration and geophysical
imaging of the cavern system has not located any of the other areas filmed in these logs. Neither Agent Cooper nor Agent Rey has been
recovered.

SCP-3515
Item #: SCP-3515
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3515 is to be stored in a standard art locker at Site-77. Containment and testing locations must
be situated no less than 50m from any on-site sleeping quarters or common area.
Description: SCP-3515 is a 40 cm x 60 cm charcoal drawing on paper, currently fitted in a wooden frame. The drawing depicts a barren
landscape with a large knotted willow tree in the foreground, at the crest of a hill of bare earth. The artist and date of creation
are unknown.
Persons spending more than one hour in close proximity to SCP-3515 (within a range of approximately five meters) will be subject to
low-volume auditory hallucinations described as the sound of slow, steady digging. In noise comparison tests, subjects have most
commonly matched SCP-3515-induced hallucinations with recordings of manual digging with a metal shovel in heavy clay soil. If an
affected individual is no longer in proximity to SCP-3515, these auditory hallucinations cease.
If an individual enters slow-wave sleep (stage 3 of non-REM sleep) while in proximity to SCP-3515, that individual will spontaneously
dematerialize. Dematerialization will include clothing and other objects physically attached to the individual. No further evidence is
available of the location of civilians presumed to have been affected by this phenomenon. In Foundation experimentation, the most
notable test to date has been Experimental Protocol 3515-C-01.
Experimental Protocol 3515-C-01: Selected Logs
Notes: A single test subject (D-6042) was placed in the testing chamber with SCP-3515 and a standard Foundation single bedding set. D-
6042 was fitted with a GPS tracking device, a head-mounted camera and microphone, and a transmitter affixed to D-6042's clothing.
Relevant extracts from the recording logs are set out below.
The initial phase of the experiment confirmed the presence of auditory hallucinations as anticipated, and showed no unexpected
results. After initial observations were complete, the secondary effect of SCP-3515 was tested.
<Elapsed time: 1:46:07>
D-6042: So you want me to lie down and go to sleep?
Dr. Hallard: That's correct. Please do not remove or disable your equipment.
D-6042: Okay. Uh, what are you testing for, please?
Dr. Hallard: I'm sorry, I can't tell you that. We will be monitoring you at all times.
D-6042: Right, sure. Hey, is there anything you can do about that noise?
Dr. Hallard: I'm afraid not. Just try to ignore it.
D-6042: I'll try to. It's pretty quiet, anyway.
D-6042 lies in a lateral position, with the camera facing the wall of the testing chamber. No sound is recorded other than D-6042's
breathing. After approximately 17 minutes, the attached electroencephalograph records D-6042 falling asleep. Approximately 20
minutes later, brain wave patterns indicate that D-6042 has reached slow-wave sleep.
D-6042 dematerializes. Clothing and attached electronic devices also dematerialize, with the exception of the leads for the
electroencephalograph, which remain on the bed. Signals from the camera, microphone and GPS continue to be received by the
monitoring team. The GPS signal updates to a location in [REDACTED]. This location is confirmed by multilateration of the broadcast
signal of the recording equipment. The view from the head-mounted camera changes to what appears to be another room: the wall is of
a different colour, and the shape of the pillow also appears different. Breathing can be heard through the microphone, suggesting
that D-6042 remains asleep.
The monitoring team continues to observe while the closest Mobile Task Force is ordered to the location of the GPS signal. The MTF
reports a suburban house, showing signs of recent habitation but with the current residents absent. Footage from one of the upstairs
bedrooms resembles the interior shown on D-6042's camera. D-6042 is not present in the bedroom.
After approximately three hours with no activity observed, the monitoring team agrees to attempt to wake D-6042 up.
Dr. Hallard: D-6042. D-6042, can you hear me? D-6042!
D-6042: Huh? What? Um, yes, yes I can hear you. Sorry, I was asleep.
The camera turns to show the ceiling of the darkened room.

Dr. Hallard: That's okay. How do you feel?
D-6042: I'm fine. A bit groggy. But I'm fine. Why?
Dr. Hallard: Can you describe your surroundings, please?
The camera view turns, showing the interior of a typical bedroom including a bookcase and desk. The room's dimensions and paint
colour are consistent with those observed by the Mobile Task Force, but the furnishings are different. Members of the MTF are not
visible.
D-6042: What the - what is this?
Dr. Hallard: D-6042, do you recognise your location?
D-6042: Uh, yeah. This is my bedroom. Um, in my parents' house, I mean. This is my bedroom from when I was a kid. Wow, those are my
books.
Dr. Hallard: We have agents in the room with you. They can't see you there.
D-6042: There's no one here with me. How did I get here?
Dr. Hallard: We're hoping you can help us work that out. You are the first person to document this phenomenon. Could you please have
a look around and see if there is anything unusual.
D-6042: Uh, I guess.
D-6042 exits the bedroom and walks along a hallway. No other persons are observed.
D-6042: Hello? Anyone here?
No response is heard. D-6042 reaches a landing and proceeds down a flight of stairs. There are framed photographs on the wall of the
staircase.
D-6042: Wow, even the same pictures.
The photographs appear normal and are consistent with known information about D-6042's family. Background checks confirm the GPS
location as D-6042's childhood residence.
D-6042: Any of you guys here? Mom?
The MTF reports the return of the current owners of the property (who are unrelated to D-6042). They are temporarily detained by the
Foundation and later amnesticized.
D-6042 reaches the base of the stairs, and enters a living area. Electric lights are operational, but curtains are drawn.
D-6042: This is so weird. It's just like it was when I was growing up. I fell off that sofa when I was seven, sprained my wrist.
Dr. Hallard: So everything is as you remember.
D-6042: Yeah, although a lot quieter with no one here. But otherwise - oh, wait a second.
Dr. Hallard: What is it?
D-6042: That painting, on the far wall. I don't remember that.
D-6042 crosses the living area. The picture on the wall resembles SCP-3515.
D-6042: That's the painting from the test. I'm sure we didn't have this at home.
Dr. Hallard: You haven't seen that picture before the test? Do you recall having a different painting on this wall when you were a
child?
D-6042: No, I don't remember. But I haven't seen this picture before today. I'm sure.
Dr. Hallard: Could you please go a little nearer so we can see it close up?
D-6042 approaches SCP-3515. The details of the picture appear unchanged.
D-6042: Looks the same to me.
Dr. Hallard: Thank you. Same for us.
D-6042: Although I can't say for sure, but maybe the noise is a little bit louder?
Dr. Hallard: The digging sound?
D-6042: Yes.
Dr. Hallard: Okay, we'll make a note of that. Keep an eye out for any other differences. In the meantime, could you please open the
curtains? We'd like to look outside.
D-6042 pulls open the curtains. The exterior of the window is obscured.
D-6042: Weird, it's like it's covered in mud, or like -
D-6042 runs to the front door of the house, unlocks it, and attempts to pull it open. The door appears to be stuck in place.
D-6042: <grunting>
D-6042 pulls on the handle, leaning away from the door. Suddenly the door opens, the camera hitting the ground as D-6042 falls.
D-6042: <yelling> Ah! Ow!
D-6042 scrambles away from the door. The camera struggles to focus.
D-6042: <panting> Shit, shit.
Dr. Hallard: D-6042, talk to us. Are you injured? What's going on?
D-6042: You can't see it?
D-6042 walks back towards the front door. The space behind the open door is filled with dark soil. Dirt has spilled onto the floor
of the house, and onto D-6042's jumpsuit.
D-6042: What the hell?
D-6042 reaches through the doorway, pulling at the dirt. Clumps of earth fall to the ground, and more dirt falls into the gap from
above. There is no obvious limit to the volume of soil outside the door.
D-6042 moves rapidly through the kitchen and other rooms, pulling aside curtains and opening windows where possible. The entire
house appears to be surrounded by packed earth.
D-6042: What the fuck? What the fuck!
Dr. Hallard: Please try to remain calm, D-
D-6042: <shouting> Fuck that!
D-6042 runs upstairs and into the house's bedrooms, continuing to curse and ignoring instructions from the monitoring team. All
upstairs windows are also blocked with earth. D-6042 appears increasingly agitated. D-6042 returns downstairs to the living area,
picks up a wooden chair and throws it at the window.
D-6042: <unintelligible yelling>
The window breaks. Dark earth spills through the crack. D-6042 falls to a sitting position, breathing heavily.
D-6042: <breathing heavily> You bastards. You fucking bastards. You buried me.
Shortly afterward, D-6042 removed the camera and headset. The GPS tracking signal moved within the area of the house for several
hours. Eventually, D-6042 returned to the living area and reattached the camera and headset, resuming contact with the monitoring
team.
Dr. Hallard: Thank you for coming back -
D-6042: Shut up. You have to get me out of here. I've looked everywhere I can, and it's the same. This whole place is covered in
dirt. Doors, windows, I even checked the basement. And behind it there's just more dirt. So you have to get me out. Okay?
Dr. Hallard: I can assure you that we're trying every approach we possibly can to -
D-6042: No, dammit! You have to get me out! Not "try" - do it! <breathing deeply> Look, okay, I'm sorry. I'm trying to stay calm but
I am not all right here. I need you to help.
Dr. Hallard: We're going to help you. We will.
D-6042: Please.
Dr. Hallard: We will. Now, have you eaten?
D-6042: <sniffing> Yeah, a little. There's stuff in the kitchen.
Dr. Hallard: Something to drink? We thought we could hear the taps running?
D-6042: Yeah.
Dr. Hallard: Slept?
D-6042: No.
Dr. Hallard: It's probably a good idea if -
D-6042: How long do I have?
Dr. Hallard: I'm sorry?
D-6042: Until I run out of air. How long until there's no more oxygen?
Dr. Hallard: Well, it's more the carbon dioxide that you need to -
D-6042: <shouting> How long?
Dr. Hallard: Uh. Actually it should be quite a long time. The house is pretty large, so provided we keep the air ventilating, you
should have enough for weeks, maybe.
D-6042: Oh. Is that true?
Dr. Taylor: I mean, yes, it should be.
D-6042: So you'll get me out.
Dr. Hallard: Yes, we will. But first, I think we should all get some sleep, and we'll come up with a new plan tomorrow.
D-6042: I don't know.

Dr. Hallard: We've got plenty of time. You have lots of food and water, and - and there's nothing there to interfere with you.
Ideally, I'd like to try with you sleeping in the living room.
D-6042: No! No. I don't want to sleep here.
Dr. Hallard: Is it the picture? I know how you feel, but it's possible that falling asleep with it again will reverse the effect.
D-6042: <silence>
D-6042: Okay. I'll try.
D-6042 slept for several hours in the living room. No change in situation was evident.
The next day, the experimental team guided D-6042 through the house, confirming that all areas outside of the building were filled
with soil of various types and consistencies. Samples were collected for testing.
Attempts to use communication devices were unsuccessful. While all equipment was operational, telephone calls were not connected,
other than to answering machines. The desktop computer was not able to be connected to the internet. The television could be viewed,
but only pre-recorded programs were broadcast, with no live content.
Following these tests, it was determined that D-6042 would attempt to tunnel upwards from the house using a garden shovel from the
basement. D-6042 spent the remainder of the day collecting supplies from within the house, including food and battery-powered
lighting. The monitoring team provided instruction on setting up a makeshift ventilation system to provide air circulation.
On the next morning, D-6042 returned to a window in the attic to commence digging.
Dr. Hallard: Okay, switch the fans on as you go past. Good. Then start the hole at the top. Just below the top of the window.
D-6042: <grunting>
Dr. Hallard: Great. May as well just throw it back down the stairs. And then just keep going like that. We'll be here if you want to
talk.
D-6042: <panting> Jeez, this is going to take forever. Do I have to start from the top?
Dr. Hallard: I know the angle is awkward, but it will get easier once you've started the tunnel. Doing it this way means you can
keep that arch-shape at the top, which will be more stable. And it will help make sure you're always heading upwards, although we
can use the spirit level for that once you've gotten going.
D-6042: Okay, James - you know best.
D-6042 made slow but steady progress on the tunnel during the day. D-6042's attitude during this period fluctuated between anger,
withdrawal and a strong desire for conversation. When preparing to sleep that night, D-6042 watched television for several hours.
Digging resumed on the second day.
D-6042 is at the end of the tunnel, shovelling heavy clay onto a toboggan used to transport it back to the attic. On the next
strike, the shovel blade makes a sharp noise.
D-6042: I hit something! James!
Dr. Hallard: I'm here. What is it?
D-6042: I hit something. There's something hard here.
D-6042 leans forward and pulls at the tunnel face with both hands. Lumps of clay fall, revealing a white shape.
D-6042: Can you see this James?
Dr. Hallard: Yes, we see it.
Further digging reveals the shape as a long bone. D-6042 pulls away.
D-6042: Shit, that's a bone. Shit.
Dr. Hallard: That's okay. You'd expect bones underground, wouldn't you.
D-6042: No. No no no. That's not right. It's not right James, do you know why? I've been digging and digging, but there's nothing
here. No worms, no bugs, nothing that lives underground. No moles, nothing. So if they aren't here, why is there a bone?
Dr. Hallard: Let's take a closer look at it, okay - see what we can learn about it.
D-6042: <breathing deeply> Right. All right.
D-6042 pulls away dirt from around the bone, moving down its length. A large chunk of clay comes loose at the base, revealing the
bones of a human foot.
D-6042: Oh fuck! I told you. Fuck.
D-6042 scrambles back out of the tunnel and into the house. The monitoring team's attempts to discuss the situation are ignored, and
the headset is abandoned for some time. After approximately two hours, D-6042 is observed walking past the headset and into the
tunnel, carrying the shovel. Forty-five minutes later, D-6042 returns to the attic and reattaches the headset.
D-6042: I told you. Are you there?
Dr. Hallard: Yes, we're here. What did you tell us?
D-6042: I'll show you. This place is - I'll show you.
D-6042 returns to the tunnel. Halfway along its length, the side of the tunnel shows signs of recent digging, forming a shallow
branch at an angle to the main tunnel. Two bones protrude from the earth at knee height. They appear similar to human radius and
ulna.
D-6042: See? Do you see that?
D-6042 uses the shovel to move the loose dirt on the tunnel floor. A series of smaller bones are observed, presumed to be human
carpal, metacarpal and phalanges.
D-6042: Tell me what the fuck is going on?
Dr. Hallard: I can't. I'm sorry, I don't know what this is. We're doing our best.
D-6042: Your best?
D-6042 swings the shovel hard into the tunnel face at shoulder height, digging erratically. A sharp scraping sound is heard. D-6042
swings again, and a large clump of earth falls. As it hits the tunnel floor, it breaks open, revealing a second human hand,
partially decomposed. There is a sound of dry retching, and D-6042 retreats from the tunnel. Laboured breathing is heard for several
minutes.
Dr. Hallard: D-6042? Buddy? Are you okay?
D-6042: <softly> Please. You need to do more. I can't.
Dr. Hallard: We're doing it. We can see your GPS signal - when you're in the tunnel, at the other end, it's coming from in the
garden. We have a team coming - they're going to start digging down towards you. We'll get you out.
D-6042: Please. You have to.
Dr. Hallard: We will. But we need you to keep digging up towards us. We'll see on the camera what you're seeing, and we can use that
to see how close we are to finding you.
D-6042: No. No more. Not today.
Dr. Hallard: Okay, that's okay. We'll start again tomorrow.
D-6042 spent the rest of the day eating and sitting near the television. Early on the following morning, as D-6042 was climbing to the
tunnel entrance, the lights in the house lost power.
D-6042: Jesus! Shit! Can you still hear me?
Dr. Hallard: I'm still here.
D-6042: What's going on? What happened?
Dr. Hallard: We don't know yet, but we can go down to the living room and -
D-6042: No! I'm not going down there. I'm getting out!
Dr. Hallard: Okay, I hear you. See if you can find the lamp, at least.
D-6042 climbs up and enters the tunnel, digging rapidly. D-6042 speaks rarely, working in short bursts and resting on the tunnel
floor. On several occasions, the tunneling disturbs bones or decomposing human remains. These are either covered in loose dirt by D-
6042 or ignored entirely. The monitoring team estimates that the total remains uncovered to date comprise at least twelve
individuals. After several hours, the shovel blade strikes something hard at the tunnel base.
D-6042: <grunting> Uh. Piece of
Dr. Hallard: D-6042, we really need to see what this is. Please.
D-6042: Why? Huh, why?
Dr. Hallard: It might be something we can use to help you get out.
D-6042: Right.
D-6042 digs deeper into the floor of the tunnel, exposing a decomposing human torso with several exposed ribs. Further along is a
head, with some flesh and hair remaining.
Dr. Hallard: That's good. Could you go a little closer, please?
D-6042: God, it smells. How will this help?
Dr. Hallard: Perhaps we can work out how they were buried. It could tell us how close you are to the surface. Can you pick up the
head please?
D-6042: I don't want to touch it.
Dr. Hallard: Come on, it won't hurt you. I really need you to do this.
D-6042: You need me to do this? You need me? Fuck you, James. Fuck you! I need you to get! Me! Out!
D-6042 hits the corpse repeatedly with the flat of the shovel, smashing the bones.
D-6042: <shouting> Is that okay? Is that helpful? Fuck you!

D-6042 resumes digging erratically, no longer stopping to transport loose dirt from the tunnel. The incline of D-6042's tunnelling
has increased. When an arm is exposed and hangs from the tunnel ceiling, D-6042 hacks at it with the shovel until it falls, and
leaves it behind to be covered in earth as digging continues.
After several hours, the shovel again strikes something hard near the tunnel roof. D-6042 digs further, exposing what appears to be
a long tree root. D-6042 ceases digging and remains looking up at the root.
Dr. Hallard: Hey, that's a good sign.
D-6042 does not respond.
Dr. Hallard: It should mean that you're getting near the surface. If you get a bit closer, we can try to work out how near.
D-6042: <whispering> No. It's not - I don't like it. It's not right.
Dr. Hallard: What's wrong? It looks normal.
D-6042: <whispering> No. No.
Dr. Hallard makes contact with the digging team. The team has reached a depth of twenty metres. The excavation appears normal, with
no signs of human remains. There are no large trees in the vicinity of D-6042's childhood house.
D-6042 continues digging at the face of the tunnel for several more hours without food or water. Several further tree roots are
exposed in the tunnel ceiling, as well as a disembodied leg, wrapped in scraps of material. D-6042 continues, avoiding contact with
the tree roots. After fourteen hours of activity, monitoring staff attempt to intervene.
Dr. Hallard: Hey? I know you're ignoring us, but you need to stop. You need rest, and food. You need to sleep.
D-6042: I need to get out.
Dr. Hallard: Yes, but you can't dig if you're exhausted. You'll do better if you rest.
D-6042: I don't want to.
Dr. Hallard: Just a break then. We can talk.
D-6042: Okay.
D-6042 sits on the tunnel floor.
Dr. Hallard: Doesn't it feel better to take a break?
D-6042: I am pretty tired.
Dr. Hallard: Fair enough. You've made good progress today, despite it all.
D-6042: Yeah.
Dr. Hallard: Tell me, what would you like as your first meal, when you get back?
D-6042: I don't know.
Dr. Hallard: Well what sort of food do you like? Pizza? A burger?
D-6042: Burger. With cheese.
Dr. Hallard: Nice.
D-6042: Could I get McDonalds, do you think? A quarter pounder?
Dr. Hallard: I'm sure we can arrange that. Just tell us what you'd like.
D-6042: I'm getting hungry.
D-6042 returns to the tunnel entrance to collect food and water, and eats.
Dr. Hallard: Tomorrow, you'll be ready to go again.
D-6042: Uh-huh.
Dr. Hallard: Shall we head back down tonight? Back to your bed?
D-6042: No.
Dr. Hallard: It's probably better if you can. From an air circulation perspective.
D-6042: No! I'm not going back down there.
Dr. Hallard: All right. Well stay out here near the entrance, at least.
D-6042 switches off the battery-powered lamp. The tunnel and the attic are dark and silent.
D-6042: How long has it been, James?
Dr. Hallard: Four days.
D-6042: Oh. I'm sorry about yelling.
Dr. Hallard: It's okay. Don't think about that. Think about what you'll do when you're back.
D-6042: Mmm. James, I've been thinking about the tree.
Dr. Hallard: Which tree?

D-6042: The one in the picture. I've been thinking about it a lot. I didn't tell you. I'm sorry.
Dr. Hallard: That's okay.
D-6042: <softly> All the time, while I'm digging. I think about the picture, and the noise, and the tree. I think the tree hates me.
It hates me.
Dr. Hallard: It's all right. You're all right. Don't worry. We're here.
D-6042: I'm sorry.
Dr. Hallard: Maybe it's our team you can hear? Digging from above? That could be a good sign.
D-6042: Maybe.
D-6042 falls asleep for a few hours, before waking with a start.
D-6042: What? Who's there?
Dr. Hallard: I'm here - Dr. Hallard.
D-6042: Oh, hi James.
Dr. Hallard: It's still early, you could go back to sleep.
D-6042: No. I'm getting out.
D-6042 turns on the lantern, takes the shovel and resumes digging. Human remains are uncovered frequently.
D-6042: God, it smells. Why are there so many bodies?
Dr. Hallard: I don't know. Perhaps you're below a graveyard? That would be a good sign - the surface would be close.
D-6042: <laughing> A good sign? Below a graveyard? <laughing>
Dr. Hallard: Come on, buddy.
D-6042: <laughing> Come on buddy. Come on, bodies. Let's all dig together. Dig, dig, dig. Oh look, a boot. Anyone need a boot? Looks
like a good one. I'm sure I can get the foot out. Hey, James, you need a boot?
D-6042 continues to dig, depositing body parts on the tunnel floor as they are dug up.
D-6042: Another arm! How many is that so far? How many more to come? How many -
There is a sudden heavy noise, and the lantern is extinguished, leaving only D-6042's headlamp.
D-6042: No!
Dr. Hallard: What's going on? Talk to me.
D-6042: Shit, it fell. It fell James.
The headlamp moves rapidly, but reveals that the tunnel behind D-6042 has collapsed and filled with earth. The lantern has been
buried, and the tunnel blocked.
D-6042: Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck -
Dr. Hallard: Stay calm. You can do this. You just have to dig your way back through the collapsed section, so you can get through to
-
D-6042: No! I can't go back.
Dr. Hallard: You have to, buddy. You need to dig back to the house. There's not enough air where you are.
D-6042: <sobbing> Help me.
Dr. Hallard: I'm trying, but you have to do this, okay?
D-6042 begins to shovel loose earth from the top of the collapsed section. More earth falls from above, together with a human leg in
the early stages of decomposition. The leg is clothed in grey rags.
D-6042: Oh god. <retching>
D-6042 continues digging at the collapsed section, forming a low hole. This hole appears stable, but dirt continues to fall from the
ceiling of the remaining tunnel.
Dr. Hallard: Hurry.
There is another loud noise from behind D-6042. The camera turns. More of the tunnel roof has collapsed, reducing the remaining
tunnel to a few metres in length.
Dr. Hallard: Come on. Keep digging.
The camera turns abruptly upwards, and D-6042 gasps. Where the tunnel roof has fallen in, a series of thin tree roots have been
exposed. Above, there is no dirt. The tree roots extend upwards into empty blackness as far as the headlamp's light can reach.
D-6042 drops the shovel.
D-6042: <whimpering>
Dr. Hallard: Wait. We need to -

D-6042 scrambles into the low hole dug in the first collapsed section, and crawls forward, pulling dirt away manually. Attempts by
the monitoring team to communicate are ignored. D-6042 continues digging forward slowly, surrounded by earth. D-6042's camera view
shows dirt on all sides, and the microphone records rapid breathing.
Dr. Hallard: Try to stay calm. Slower breaths, okay.
D-6042 continues digging forwards, ignoring communications from the monitoring team. The hole remains narrow and low. D-6042's hands
appears to be bleeding in several places. After approximately thirty minutes, D-6042 jerks to a stop.
D-6042: My foot! Something's got my foot!
D-6042 attempts to look back, but the hole is too cramped to turn.
D-6042: Help! It's got me!
Dr. Hallard: Are you sure? It could just be the dirt. Or more tree roots?
D-6042: Aaugh!
D-6042 squirms, twisting to face upwards.
D-6042: I can't see. It's got my foot!
The camera moves wildly, but nothing can be seen on D-6042's foot. D-6042 appears to be hyperventilating.
D-6042: I have to get out!
D-6042 begins clawing at the roof of the hole, attempting to dig directly upwards. Dirt falls directly onto the camera
Dr. Hallard: Hey, you can't - please listen to me - you have to go forward - the air - it won't -
D-6042 makes no response, continuing to dig upwards. The digging exposes grey fabric in the soil above. As more earth falls, it
reveals a human torso covered in a grey jumpsuit.
D-6042: No!
Dr. Hallard: What is it?
D-6042: It's me. That's my clothes. That was my boot before. They're all me.
Dr. Hallard: That doesn't make any sense -
D-6042: Aaaah!
D-6042 scratches at the clothing on the roof of the tunnel. As the torso is exposed, a partially obscured number is visible on the
chest of the jumpsuit. D-6042 continues to claw frantically at the sides and roof of the hole, exposing the head of the corpse.
The corpse's face appears to resemble that of D-6042.
D-6042: <screaming>
D-6042 attempts to roll over, away from the dead face. As D-6042 moves, there is a loud noise, and the corpse falls from above,
together with a large volume of earth. D-6042 is knocked down.
When the camera re-focuses, the head of the corpse is directly in front of the lens, with packed soil visible above it. The corpse
appears to have fallen on top of D-6042, collapsing the tunnel and burying D-6042. The camera does not move.
Dr. Hallard: Can you hear me?
D-6042: <rapid, shallow breathing>
Dr. Hallard: Can you move?
D-6042: <whimpering>
Dr. Hallard: It's okay, buddy. I'm sorry. It's okay.
After approximately 30 minutes, D-6042 makes noises consistent with suffering convulsions due to hypercapnia. After a further 8
minutes, no further sounds are audible from D-6042.
The digging team continues excavation for a further two hours, reaching a depth of approximately 50 metres. No unusual results are
observed. The team ceases work.
D-6042's camera and light continue operation for another 123 hours before running out of battery. Analysis of the final five hours
of film has identified sounds consistent with muffled digging, slowly growing louder.

ITEM#: 3521
LEVEL2 RESTRICTED
CONTAINMENT CLASS: SAFE
SECONDARY CLASS: {$SECONDARY-CLASS}
DISRUPTION CLASS: VLAM
RISK CLASS: DANGER
SCP-3521.
Special Containment Procedures: The entire supply of SCP-3521 is located beneath the Site-92-EX Biohazard Waste Site, and is currently
inaccessible. Foundation waste management teams are currently working to remove the biohazard waste and recover SCP-3521, as well as
any other items that can be recovered from the Site-92-EX location.
Site-92, GA, US
Description: SCP-3521 is the group designation for a supply of sixteen pharmaceutical gel tablets created by an individual (called
"dado" in collected messages), currently believed to be an amateur para-pharmacologist, in affiliation with an unknown assassin. SCP-
3521 instances are light-yellow in color and roughly 1.2cm in length. SCP-3521 dissolve quickly in water and are made up of an unknown
and likely anomalous series of components.
The primary anomalous nature of SCP-3521 is only revealed once SCP-3521 has been ingested by a subject. Shortly after consumption, an
extremely large number of unpeeled bananas[1] will begin to manifest in the subject's stomach at an indeterminate rate[2]. Based on
information recovered during the discovery of SCP-3521, it is believed this volume of bananas is intended to cause an acute lethal
dose of ionizing radiation. While bananas do contain trace amounts of radioactive potassium, the quantity manifested induces the much
more obvious causes of death of exsanguination, suffocation, or in most confirmed cases of SCP-3521: gross crush trauma from 9.15
million kg of bananas manifesting within the subject's stomach.
2. This rate is uncertain, though in the single instance of testing the full effect of SCP-3521 was realized in roughly six and a half minutes.
1. The exact measure is unknown and likely impossible to ascertain, though is likely in excess of fifty million bananas.
Addendum 3521.1: Discovery and Testing
The collective supply of SCP-3521 was discovered after a shootout between the Atlanta Police Department and an unknown group of
individuals believed to be connected to a heroin manufacturing ring. During investigation of the storehouse the individuals had been
guarding, a bag containing every known instance of SCP-3521 was discovered, along with a recently registered cell phone, commonly
referred to as a 'burner phone'. The contents of messages contained on this cell phone are available in Addendum 3521.2.
A full investigation of the storehouse yielded several additional anomalous items, which were recovered by Foundation personnel along
with the instances of SCP-3521.
Collapsed roof of Site-92. Damage occurred due to the destruction of the site's lower
levels.
During processing at Site-92, D-28491 was chosen for testing the effects of SCP-3521. D-28491 was given a dose of SCP-3521, and placed
under observation. Based on recovered video footage, after roughly thirty minutes D-28491 briefly complained about an intense stomach
pain before expanding rapidly and disappearing under a quickly growing mass of bananas. The testing chamber was consumed in seconds,
and a significant portion of the site's lower levels were destroyed in minutes.
Rescue efforts began almost immediately, as a significant number of staff members were trapped below the surface in areas now
inaccessible due to the expanse of bananas. Further hindering rescue efforts was the fact that the mass of bananas, which quickly
collapsed under pressure from the earth around them into a thick slurry, was extremely radioactive. Due to this, the first external
notice that Site-92 had experienced a critical event was when Site-17 received a radiation warning notification, usually the result of
a reactor failure.
Site-92 was evacuated, though twenty-three members of site research staff and sixty-one other personnel were killed in the aftermath
of the event. Due to the volume of radioactive biological waste beneath Site-92, every accessible anomalous object[3] was moved to
nearby sites and the site was decommissioned. Recovery efforts are ongoing.
3. Fortunately no anomalous entities had to be moved, as Site-92 was strictly an anomalous object repository.
Addendum 3521.2: Recovered Cell Phone Data
Note: The following is a relevant excerpt from a text message conversation recovered from the cell phone found near the supply of SCP-
3521 during its discovery.

Original Version
Item #: SCP-3531
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3531 is to be stored in the hangar of Site-38. Tests are to be conducted at the discretion of the
Site Director.
Description: SCP-3531 is a Boeing 737 airliner. SCP-3531 is unremarkable in both exterior and interior appearance, and is non-
anomalous when not in flight. However, photographs, videos, and audio recordings taken within SCP-3531 during flight show various
forms of aquatic-based anomalous phenomena, as well as the manifestation of several humanoid figures acting as flight attendants on
board. Despite this, passengers remain either ignorant or unwilling to comment on the phenomena, denying all claims and in most cases
refusing to believe video evidence.
Addendum: Test Log
A series of tests were conducted on SCP-3531 shortly after its retrieval. The final of these tests is logged below.
VIDEO LOG
DATE: September 7th, 2017
NOTE: Multiple D-Class personnel were stationed in SCP-3531. D-1442 was issued a water-proof camera for the
purpose of recording this video log. Agent Kulkarni was piloting SCP-3531.
<BEGIN LOG>
0:00: D-1442 begins recording, positioned in a window seat on the far left. SCP-3531 has taken off. The
intercom starts, playing a message.
Hello, everyone, and welcome to your flight with Kingfisher Airlines! I'll be your pilot. Now that we've
successfully taken off, make sure to keep your seat belts unbuckled. Make our jobs a little easier, eh?
D-1442 promptly unbuckled their seatbelt.
2:23: D-1442 pans to their right. A small wave of water runs through the floor, depositing seaweed
throughout the aisle.
3:03: Camera shakes violently. D-1442 mutters, complaining about turbulence. Camera pans quickly to the
window. A jumble of wire has caught onto the wings of SCP-3531, extending upwards indefinitely.
9:52: A pair of flight attendants enter view. An attendant offers D-1442 a can of worms, which he accepts.
D-1442 begins consumption by placing individual worms in his mouth.
10:03: The flight attendants walk back through the aisle. The seaweed from before has built up, now fully
covering the passageway.
12:01: A flight attendant is seen escorting multiple passengers through the cabin. The attendant is draped
in wires, with fishing hooks in place of their hands. D-1442 falsely asserts familial relationships with
the earlier passenger as the reason.
15:03: The plane begins shaking violently. D-1442 hurriedly turns to the window. Multiple electric eels are
present outside the window, weaving in and out of the clouds. Rapidly moving cloud formations expel waves
of water and flashes of lightning, causing violent shaking within SCP-3531. D-1442 laughs nervously, joking
about a thunderstorm.
15:14: D-1442 finishes the can of worms.
16:01: An eel smashes through the window of SCP-3531, wriggling in D-1442's lap. D-1442 does not seem to
notice this. The eel continues wriggling as waves of water crash into SCP-3531, flooding the plane with
water. As the water becomes level with the camera, choking noises can be heard along with violent camera
shaking as D-1442 attempts to breathe the water. D-1442 does not stop, instead continuing to inhale the
water, soon falling unconscious.
16:35: The camera leaves D-1442's grip. The camera drifts upwards, presumably having been let go by D-1442,
eventually hitting a passenger's arm and turning around to reveal D-1442's floating body, among several
others. The seaweed from before appears to be growing over many of the passengers' bodies. The camera
remains buoyant, having hit the ceiling.
17:12: Agent Kulkarni runs into view, seemingly unaffected by the lack of breathable air. He convulses
briefly, before collapsing to the ground. Kulkarni rears his head and unhinges his jaw, shooting several
large hooks out of his mouth, attached to fishing wire presumably originating from within Kulkarni. The
hooks move on their own, impaling all personnel aboard, some hooks impaling multiple passengers. Kulkarni
is dragged off-screen, bringing the passengers with him.
18:38: The intercom starts. It is interrupted by brief static. A message plays.
Thank you for flying with Kingfisher!
<END LOG>
Upon landing, SCP-3531 was found to have suffered none of the damage captured on video. Multiple fish of various species were strewn
about the seats of SCP-3531. None of the personnel aboard were found within SCP-3531. The camera was recovered in D-1442's seat.
Recovery: SCP-3531 was discovered after routine inspection of its black box footage by Mobile Task Force Lambda-4 ("Birdwatchers").
The recording showed the following message played over the intercom, exhibiting its cognitohazardous effect:
Okay, I got a little proposal for you.
I know Kingfisher only wants the best, so you better believe me when I say I’ve found the best. Down in a certain little universe,
in a certain little planet, all over it even, I found these beauties. They’re called humans. You’ll love ‘em. They’ve got these
beautiful hands, four fingers - and that’s not even including the opposable thumbs. Strong, dexterous legs, a full meaty torso,
trust me. It’s the whole package. Everyone’s gonna want ‘em.
Problem areas, you say? Well, they’ve got a substandard moral compass, that’s for sure. But between you ‘n me, I don’t think
anyone’ll notice.

Close-up of a sample of SCP-3565
Item #: SCP-3565
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3565 is to be kept in a storage room at Site-51. If anyone working at Site-51 displays symptoms of
SCP-3565’s perception-altering effects, they are to be transferred offsite and amnesticized immediately. Once per day, personnel
assigned to SCP-3565 are to insert a ½ liter bottle of human milk into SCP-3565 and are not to leave until the bottle is empty.
Following Incident 3565-A (See Addendum), Site-51 staff assigned to SCP-3565 are to be cycled every third week. Revisions to
containment procedures for SCP-3565-1 are pending.
Description: SCP-3565 is 3kg mass of ground porcine, bovine, and human flesh. Approximately 10% of adult humans perceive SCP-3565 to
be a human infant of variable appearance, though affected individuals who are themselves parents will often describe SCP-3565 as
looking similar to their own children. Individuals affected by SCP-3565 feel an extreme compulsion to feed and care for SCP-3565 and
will become distressed if they are refused contact with it.
Testing has shown that SCP-3565 is not alive. Despite this, SCP-3565 is capable of metabolizing human milk, and doing so delays the
putrefaction process and gives SCP-3565 limited regenerative properties. SCP-3565 requires approximately half a liter of milk a day to
maintain these properties. If SCP-3565 is given milk in excess of this amount, it will slowly grow in size proportionate to the amount
it was fed, though it will revert to its original size over time if feeding portions are brought back down.
If SCP-3565 is not fed or is fed less than half a liter of milk a day, it will begin to rot like nonanomalous ground meat.
Additionally, individuals working near or with SCP-3565 when it is unfed have reported hearing a baby crying, with the frequency and
intensity of the crying increasing the longer SCP-3565 goes without feeding. The number of individuals who perceive SCP-3565 as an
infant has also been shown to increase over this period.
Addendum:
Incident 3565-A
On 02/05/20 , Dr. Javier Martinez, then the head researcher for SCP-3565, was rushed to the infirmary after falling unconscious
following complaints of abdominal pain and nausea. An examination of Dr. Martinez revealed that he had grown a functional uterus and
birth canal. Additionally, ultrasounds of the organs showed what appeared to a human fetus at four months of development. Dr.
Martinez was given an emergency cesarean section, and a 1kg mass of ground meat, now designated SCP-3565-1, was removed from his
abdomen. The mass’s composition and anomalous properties are identical to SCP-3565.
Following the incident, all staff at Site-51 were given a thorough medical examination. 75% of staff who had been working in close
proximity to SCP-3565 for more than 3 weeks displayed physical abnormalities similar to Dr. Martinez’s, though none were more than a
week into the gestation period. All individuals were given Mifepristone and administered amnestics. Affected males had extraneous
organs removed.

An Agent performing SCP-3688. Face blurred at their request.
Item #: SCP-3688
Object Class: Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures: Any discovered historical data pertaining to SCP-3688 is to be retrieved by Foundation personnel, and
any civilians aware of its existence are to be amnesticised.
Any active members of a Mobile Task Force and any Foundation personnel ranked Level 3 or higher should be given the opportunity to
learn SCP-3688, though doing so is optional.
Description: SCP-3688 is a series of kinetoglyphs[1] that, when performed in sequence and with a sufficient degree of accuracy, causes
the performer to become functionally invincible for the duration. This invincibility is achieved via the violation of a number of
fundamental principles of physics. Many of the movements required involve the whole body, and have been described as "rhythmic" and
"energetic".
1. Kinetoglyphs, or kinetohazards, are physical and mental anomalous effects that occur when an entity performs specific motions and gestures.
The movements required by SCP-3688 for successful activation of its properties are complex (approximately 85% of Foundation personnel
attempting to learn SCP-3688 have been unable to execute it successfully), but are structured in such a way that once started they can
be repeated indefinitely. Successful activation of SCP-3688 begins once the first nine to ten seconds of the sequence has been
accurately completed, and can then be continued for as long as the performer is able. No method of stopping a performer of SCP-3688
against their will has been found, though bodily functions and requirements for sustenance are not affected by the process.
The following are excerpts from the full SCP-3688 testing log, performed on individuals confirmed to be actively and successfully
performing SCP-3688.
Test: Application of blunt force using a wooden baseball bat.

Result: No effect. In cases where the bat intercepted a moving part of the performer's body, the bat was deflected without apparent
effort. Bat eventually broke following successive impacts.
Test: Attempted restraint of performer via wall-mounted steel chains.

Result: As soon as the chains were affixed to the performer, they were forcibly torn from their wall mounts by the motions required
by SCP-3688. Continued motion caused the chains to entangle the performer, at which point they snapped.
Test: Collision of a remotely-piloted utility vehicle travelling at 70km/h with performer.

Result: The vehicle was split in two at the collision point as its momentum carried it into and beyond the performer, who was
unaffected by the impact. Remaining wreckage was displaced as it intersected the movements of the performer.
Project Marqod
In concert with the Department of Thaumatology, the Artistic Anomalies Department and the Department of Kinetography, we have,
functionally speaking, been able to reverse-engineer SCP-3688. We still don't know why it works, but we do know how to develop
additional kinetoglyphic sets that we believe, when properly deployed in the field, will be of great use to the Foundation.
SCP-3688 Senior Researcher Dr. Nian Shan
Project Marqod is an ongoing multi-departmental effort to develop new kinetoglyphic sets and to train Foundation agents in their use.
To that end, Mobile Task Force Sigma-2 ("No Friends Of Mine") has been formed from agents possessing the necessary levels of
coordination and agility to perform the manoeuvres in the kinds of scenarios that field teams frequently find themselves.
Due to the high success rate of Sigma-2, authorisation has been given to increase the scope of the project. Additional resources have
been granted for the further development of new kinetoglyphs and additional recruitment is ongoing, though finding willing
participants with the necessary physical performance experience has proven difficult.
Following is a list of kinetoglyphic sets in which MTF Sigma-2 agents are currently trained.

Item #: SCP-3760
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Subliminal Memetic Agent Kappa/Omicron ("SMA-K/O") is to remain in global circulation, propagated via
a fabricated "scientific fact" that acts as a carrier. The Department of Misinformation is to suppress any notion that SMA-K/O's
carrier may be untrue.
If an individual ceases to believe that the carrier information is factual, they will lose the effects of SMA-K/O and become
susceptible to SCP-3760's anomalous properties. To prevent a potential End-of-World K/O Failure Scenario, all records regarding the
nature of SMA-K/O's carrier have been restricted to Level 5 access.
Description: SCP-3760 is an anomalous mutagenic phenomenon which affects the regrowth of human tissue in response to injury. Humans
within proximity of a subject afflicted with SCP-3760 run an ongoing risk of infection; however, SCP-3760 does not appear to be
microbial in nature. Due to the circumstances of its containment, the vector for transmission of SCP-3760 has yet to be conclusively
determined.[1]
1. One widely-held hypothesis proposed in 1922 suggests that SCP-3760 may be spread through eye contact.
Injured[2] tissue in affected subjects will anomalously develop various forms of nonhuman biological features associated with members
of the clade Selachimorpha. Such features most commonly include (but are not limited to):
2. Diseased tissue has been observed to be affected in some cases.
Dermal denticles[3]
Benign cartilaginous growths
Eyes (with nictitating membranes)[4]
Nasal ducts
Teeth and/or jaws
4. A translucent eyelid that moistens the eye while retaining vision.
3. Scales which are structurally comparable to pointed teeth.
Sensory organs grown by affected subjects appear to be functional and respond appropriately to stimuli, but these sensations are not
directly experienced by the subject themselves. Other organs demonstrate similar independent functionality, including mandibles
capable of mastication. Involuntary self-injury from bites are frequent. Any matter consumed by an SCP-3760-grown oral cavity will
vanish despite a lack of observable connection to a digestive tract.
These aforementioned orifices will repeatedly seek edible material for consumption;[5] this behavior intensifies in the presence of
blood, and may even include acts of autocannibalism. A failure to consume edible material at regular intervals will result in necrosis
of the affected tissue. In turn, this necessitates the removal of the necrotic tissue, which consequently leads to the emergence of
additional SCP-3760 mutations and orifices.
5. With a notable preference for living or freshly deceased animal tissue.
Precise epidemiological statistics regarding the spread of SCP-3760 are currently impossible to ascertain. Estimates by Foundation
researchers have placed the saturation rate of SCP-3760 to be between 71% and 92% of the global populace. SMA-K/O has proven capable
of suppressing symptoms in most affected subjects, with only 2,785 recorded cases of SCP-3760 activity observed between 1958 and 2016.
Addendum: The following is a series of journal entries made by Dr. Keith Woodward, Ship's Medical Officer aboard the USS Kirby. His
patients are believed to have been the first victims of SCP-3760.
August 5th 1922
Goodness knows I'm the worst at keeping records, but this feels important. Every instinct inside me is saying that something is very
wrong. I have to write this all down before I forget.
Nobody knows how Willis Riggs ended up in the drink, least of all Riggs himself. Several men saw him heading below deck at 1521. At
1522, we had reports of a man overboard.
It was Riggs. Nobody saw it happen. When they pulled him aboard, he said he couldn't remember anything that had happened since
breakfast that day. He was also missing a good chunk of his left foot.
They ask me to examine him, of course. Sewed up his foot, put a cast on it, and then tried to figure out why he couldn't remember
anything. Concussion was my first guess. But besides the lost time, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with him. I told him to get
some bedrest, and when he was gone I called the higher-ups. Only explanation I could come up with was that he had gotten something to
drink and fell overboard. But he didn't look intoxicated.
It was a strange case. Folks talked about it for a couple of days, but I didn't think too much of it. Things happen. I've seen worse.
But then things kept happening. All sorts of accidents here and there. I didn't find out about most of it till later on. These aren't
the type of men to go crying to the doctor for any little thing. Worst case I had after the Riggs' incident was some foolhardy kid
with a black eye.
About a week after he'd gotten his foot chomped, Riggs came stammering into my office. He said he hadn't been able to get any sleep
the past few nights because of the noise. I told him that he ought to be used to noisy nights on a ship like this. Then he said it
wasn't the loudness that kept him up, but where it was coming from. He propped up his foot on my desk and asked me to listen to his
cast.
I gave him some pills and kicked him out. Figured his concussion was finally showing itself.
And then, just last night, they dragged Riggs into my office. He was screaming so loud you'd think he was on fire. They had to hold
him down while I cut off the cast.
I expected gangrene. Over two decades, I've seen some serious cases — smelled them, too. You learn to expect the worst in this
profession.
But the miasma from inside that cast was the worst damn thing I've ever smelled in my life. It was like someone shit in a dead fish
and left it in the hot summer sun for a week. The flesh around his foot was all kinds of black and green and maroon. There were these
sharp, tooth-like protrusions sticking out of the skin where I'd put the sutures. They'd chewed through the thread in several places,
leaving open gaps that exposed more rows of smaller, sharper teeth inside.
I told Riggs and the others that his foot had gotten infected. Had to scrap the whole thing up to the knee. Ever since the op, I can't
sleep. It's been affecting my work, my judgment, even my eyesight. I've had this dark spot at the edge of my vision that keeps coming
and going. Probably just need to stop writing and go to sleep.
August 8th 1922
They brought the kid with the black eye in again today. His right eyelid was swollen shut; blood trickled from it like a leaky faucet.
I had to use pincers to peel the lid back. Wasn't just the swelling that kept it shut. It was those little teeth again. They'd grown
into the back of the lid and bit in.
He started making jokes about the eyepatch right away.
Speaking of eyes, my vision has gotten worse. The dark spot's moved to the center of it and won't go away. Even when I close my eyes,
the colors don't dance in that one tiny spot. Is it possible that smell burned my corneas? One of the men who'd helped bring Riggs in—
Ronnie Gaines, I think—said he'd been having headaches ever since that night. Wouldn't be surprised if whatever the hell Riggs has is
toxic.
August 9th 1922
I had three more men in today. No teeth this time, though.
One of them had this rash going up his back that he said itched like crazy. It looked like acne at first, and he did have some acne
back there, but there were all these bumps, all in neat little rows, all tender to the touch. I gave him some ointment.
One of them had a growth on his big toe. Big chunk of something sticking out of the space on the left side where the nail ended.
Looked almost like coral, except it was translucent and slightly rubbery. I cut it off.
One of them had an earache. I looked inside and saw something look back at me. I told him it was his imagination.
The dark spot on my vision keeps getting bigger. It's not even a spot anymore. Its shape keeps changing. Wish we had an optometrist.
August 11th 1922
I told the higher-ups. They thought I was crazy. I wouldn't shut up about it, though, so they locked me away.
Rigg's leg tore a man's throat out today. So they let me go.
August 18th 1922
I have a little plate in front of me with bits of meat on it. Every few minutes I hold a piece up to my left ring finger. The nail
slides up and it bears its teeth. I push the meat in and get back to taking care of the men. This is how things are now.
The higher-ups told me to reassure them that we're going home. They don't want any more men jumping into the ocean. Risks spreading
the disease, they said.
I followed orders. But I also mentioned that if they felt like jumping, come see me first.
August 22nd 1922
Ronnie Gaines died this morning. There's a hole full of teeth where his face should be. He'd been complaining of migraines for days. I
figured something was growing in that head of his. I just didn't think it could bite from the inside.
The curious part is that the teeth are still gnashing. Guess it makes sense. Riggs didn't die when his foot died. Why should the foot
die if Riggs died?
August 23rd 1922
Riggs died
August 29th 1922
What else is there to say? I don't understand it. I can't heal it. I've already described it. No point in writing now. I have mouths
to feed
September 5th 1922
I can see it clearly now. I can't quite make out its features, even though it's all I can see. It looks like a person.
It wasn't getting bigger.
It's swimming towards me

Instance of SCP-3792-1 under illumination mid-formation.
Item #: SCP-3792
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3792 is enclosed within a hermetically sealed cylinder composed of acrylic plastics. This
container is held in a locker located in Site-77's Safe SCP object wing. Any research on SCP-3792 is subject to approval by the lead
researcher, Dr. Gerard. It is not believed that SCP-3792 has any damage-resistant properties; as such, care is to be taken when
handling it directly.
Description: SCP-3792 is an aerosol can capable of producing an unlimited quantity of black smoke. The exterior label reads "Smells
Like Chicago Spirit"; other than this, there are no identifying marks on any portion of the canister.
When used, smoke produced by SCP-3792 will form into autonomous figures. Designated SCP-3792-1, they resemble humanoid silhouettes.
Their appearance lacks detail, with only basic facial features and extremities being clearly visible. Despite this, smoke in the shape
of clothing and various tools may also manifest in the possession of SCP-3792-1. These have included ski masks, crowbars, glass
cutters, and occasionally small unidentifiable objects for purposes such as lock-picking. Smoke from SCP-3792 generates a number of
SCP-3792-1 correlating to the amount released.
SCP-3792-1 collectively attempts to obtain an object desired by the last living human subject any of them individually came into
physical contact with. This may reflect unconscious notions, or expressly coveted items. Directly coming into contact with an instance
of SCP-3792-1 causes human subjects to report feeling as though their stomach is empty. A subsequent lack of energy or motivation has
also been reported in these subjects, although it is unknown whether this correlates directly to SCP-3792's effect or a secondary non-
anomalous effect caused by SCP-3792-1's effect on their lives.
Following contact, all existing SCP-3792-1 will then attempt to enter the location in which the affected subject believes the
object(s) of their desire is located. SCP-3792-1 can materialize as clouds of smoke which may infiltrate a building by clinging to
clothing or inhabiting the inside of suitcases or other containers. In addition, SCP-3792-1 entities may enter using traditional
burgling means. When unable to find any object of desire, SCP-3792-1 will intentionally initiate contact with another subject.
Any of the desired object(s) coming into contact with SCP-3792-1 will be momentarily engulfed in flames. This does not destroy the
object or reduce it to ash. Instead, once the flames recede affected object(s) will display a smoke-like composition similar the SCP-
3792-1's appearance. SCP-3792-1 will then return to the vicinity of SCP-3792 with the affected item(s) in their possession. They will
then slowly and incrementally have a small portion of their body return to SCP-3792's interior until they and any objects with their
properties have demanifested entirely.
If attempting to come into contact with an object which has taken on the composition of SCP-3792-1, subjects will experience immediate
spontaneous combustion. If this occurs, all SCP-3792 related activity currently active will cease and all extant entities and objects
will dissipate into smoke and vanish from observable space.
SCP-3792 was discovered after Foundation agents in London, ON, CA, intercepted reports of spontaneous human combustion and determined
relation to a suspicious newspaper advertisement. These read "SMOKEY AND THEY CANNED IT" with a listed address. Agents investigating
the address discovered approximately 200 instances of SCP-3792 as well as several instances of SCP-1317. No further public
advertisements have been discovered.

Forget-Me-Not

Item #: SCP-3890
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of SCP-3890, and my current situation, I am unable to enact containment procedures.
For the time being, I will focus my efforts on exploring SCP-3890 and the anomalous phenomena it displays.
Description: SCP-3890 is a potentially extradimensional or extraterrestrial space which I, Doctor Elizabeth Graham, was somehow
transported to from Site-22 on 02/17/16. At the time, I was transporting template documentation for the containment of several other
SCP items, but I do not believe that they are related to this anomaly. Similarly, I am uncertain as to whether I was transported here
due to my involvement with the Foundation.
In terms of geography, SCP-3890 takes the form of a seemingly infinite desert plain, with ruins of differing architectural design
poking out through the sand. I have noted the presence of buildings of modern design, along with what appear to be ruins of Ancient
Roman and Erikeshan structures. Exploration of these structures has shown that they are mostly empty - I am unsure whether this is by
design or if they were looted at some point in the past, perhaps by a specimen of SCP-3890-1.
SCP-3890, from what I can tell, goes through a solar cycle identical to that of Earth. Perhaps this location is not extradimensional
or extraterrestrial, but some location on the Earth that remains hidden, perhaps through some form of antimemetic camouflage? It's
warm during the day and cold during the night nonetheless, but never to an uncomfortable degree. In that way it is very much unlike an
actual desert.
SCP-3890-1 is my collective designation for the humanoid entities that wander through SCP-3890. They do not respond to any stimuli
and, as far as I have been able to tell, simply walk around without a specific destination. I have observed several of them simply
walking in circles around buildings. Is there meaning to this behaviour, or are they simply unintelligent? At this point, I cannot be
sure. Like the buildings, specimens of SCP-3890-1 appear to originate from a range of locations and times — some modern, some ancient.
I have recovered a knife from the pocket of an SCP-3890-1 specimen, so I can defend myself to a limited degree if necessary.
Additionally, specimens of SCP-3890-1 do not defend themselves when attacked. Autopsy of one specimen has shown no differences between
the anatomy of SCP-3890-1 and normal human beings. To my mind, there are two possibilities here:
1. Specimens of SCP-3890-1 are entities which have been created to resemble humans. Their mindless nature is the result of an
imperfect creation.
2. Specimens of SCP-3890-1 are humans which have been mentally altered in some way to rob them of their faculties.
So far, it appears that individuals within SCP-3890 do not experience hunger or thirst. I have been here for three days thus far, and
feel pretty much the same as I did when I first arrived. I cannot be certain, however, whether I no longer need food and water or
simply believe I do not. As I've come by no food here except SCP-3890-1, I very much hope the former is the case.

Item #: SCP-3890-2
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Due to my current circumstances, containment of SCP-3890-2 is not possible. I must be cautious at all
times and watch for the presence of SCP-3890-2. At the first sign that something I am approaching is not as it appears, I will retreat
from the area immediately.
Description: SCP-3890-2 is a living entity of varying shape and size which resides in SCP-3890. I am uncertain as to whether SCP-3890-
2 originates here or if it was transported here at some point in the same way I was. From what I have observed of its behaviour, it
appears to be some form of predator.
SCP-3890-2 is currently hunting me.
I first encountered the entity shortly after writing down my initial observations of SCP-3890. It snuck up behind me while I was
resting and got me while I wasn't paying attention. I was knocked unconscious by its attack and woke up several hours later, during
the night. It has attacked me several times since that first encounter, with several hours between each attack.
SCP-3890-2 has the ability to, as far as I can tell, mimic any object. So far, I've seen it disguise itself as:
A specimen of SCP-3890-1.
A piece of loose documentation.
A star in the sky.
A building on the horizon.
A fly.
A patch of dirt on my leg.
Right now I cannot be sure whether SCP-3890-2 is simply fooling my brain into perceiving it as these things or whether it does
actually become them.
Once I approach the thing SCP-3890-2 is mimicking, it, for lack of a better word, 'unfolds' before striking at me. Its true form is
difficult to describe, as it is constantly shifting and warping in on itself. The closest thing I can describe it as is black origami,
folding and unfolding, stretching and compressing.
SCP-3890-2 uses amnesticization as a form of attack. While it has not injured me physically thus far, I have lost all memory of
significant chunks of my childhood and early adulthood. I can no longer recall which high school I went to, or what my first job was.
My current hypothesis is that, as an entity, it feeds upon memory.
The specimens of SCP-3890-1 are people who were brought here in the past. They fell victim to SCP-3890-2 and lost all memory. With
what I've seen here, this is the only conclusion I can reach.

Item #: SCP-3890
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Periodically, I am to note down all vital memories so as to preserve a written record in the event
that they are erased by SCP-3890-2. I am to watch for its presence at all times. Currently, I am taking refuge in what looks like a
modern bank located within SCP-3890. There are the corpses of a family here - they committed suicide. I cannot deny that this seems
like a better option than wandering SCP-3890 for eternity.
I am to kill anything that attempts to enter my shelter. I can't risk letting SCP-3890-2 in. I don't think it's here yet; I tested the
corpses.
Description: I have lost all memories regarding how I came to be employed by the Foundation. I know that I am a Foundation researcher
with Level 3 clearance, but I simply cannot recall how I came to be in this position. Many of the SCP objects I worked with are also
missing from my memory. I can tell there is a hole there, but I just don't know what was there before.
No matter what I do, SCP-3890-2 sneaks up on me. It's simply too difficult to avoid while making my way though SCP-3890. The thing can
be a grain of fucking sand. I had hoped to reach an end to SCP-3890 if I walked far enough, but I can see now that that just isn't
happening.
It's not much of a surprise. I've heard of plenty of spaces that go on forever over my years (decades?) in the Foundation. Realms of
infinite ice, infinite water, infinite potatoes. I suppose I've just been unlucky enough to find myself in a realm of infinite desert.
Even if it's not infinite, I would never make it to the end. The mimic would empty me out far before then.
I don't think I'm getting out of here. You hear horror stories about the things that have happened to other researchers, how they end
up, but those are always things that happen to other people. Cautionary tales - I guess I'm a cautionary tale now, even if I don't
know what I did wrong.
Even now, I can't stop looking at the bricks, the windows. Any of them could be SCP-3890-2. Hell, my shoes could be SCP-3890-2. I
can't remember the last time I let go of my knife. It's stained red, now, from testing the corpses.
The sun's going down. I can't allow myself to fall asleep - 3890-2 will come in without a doubt if I do. I don't have to eat, I don't
have to drink, but I still have to sleep. This place is designed for the mimics benefit. It can hunt its prey to its heart's content
without them dying of thirst and starvation. Is this an enclosure, maybe? Some kind of sick game?
My name is Elizabeth Graham. My name is Elizabeth Graham. My name is Elizabeth Graham. I can't forget that now. This page is my
memory.
I can hear something crying outside. I don't know what's going to happen to me.

Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Myself and Tony are to remain within our current shelter at all times. We have agreed on a password
system to confirm our identities to each other. We are to sleep in shifts and watch for the mimic at all times.
Description: The crying was a child, Tony, ten years old. Not the mimic. The mimic can't speak. It just attacks silently.
According to Tony, he was walking home from the playground when he was transported here. It's a similar story to mine. Is there some
connection with travelling and being taken to this place, or is that part just a coincidence? Perhaps the mimic somehow changes our
destination to this place en route. Metaphysically, I mean.
I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. Or maybe I do, and I forgot.
Tony is asleep right now. We've barely spoken - of course, the kid is traumatized - but I almost forgot how it feels not to be alone.
Not to be hunted. Well, we're still being hunted, of course, but now we're being hunted together. Now it can get us both Now we can
watch for it together. Our chances of survival have doubled.
Survival isn't the thing we're fighting for, of course. The mimic doesn't want to kill us, just empty out our heads. I don't even know
if people age here. How long have the other people, the wandering ones, been here? Years? Decades? Centuries? I should have examined
them more closely before hiding myself away in some bank. I'm a doctor, for god's sake, even if I can't remember all my training.
My name is Doctor Elizabeth Graham. My name is Doctor Elizabeth Graham. My name is Doctor Elizabeth Graham.
I have this memory from my childhood, still. Everything around it is gone, but it's sort of floating free, devoid of context. I'm
visiting a woman in a hospital, I think it's a hospital, and I think it's a woman I know. A close relative? My mother or my
grandmother, I think. And I go to visit her, I'm just a kid, twelve I think, and she doesn't know who I am. At all. I don't remember
what happened before that or after.
I do remember thinking that that was the worst thing in the world.
Was that why it brought me here, the mimic? Because it knew this would be something I'd hate the most? I know it must be intelligent,
but is it sadistic as well?
I'll ask Tony tomorrow if he has a similar memory. Then, hopefully, I'll be a little closer to working out the rules of this place.
Whatever's going on here, I'm going to beat it. If you're reading this, you fucker, I'm going to beat you.

Special Containment Procedures: I am going to kill the Mimic.
Description: I woke up this morning. Tony was gone. He was the Mimic. It was smarter than I thought, I guess. I was stupid. I should
have seen this coming, but I was desperate and it knew it. All it left was some scrawled document and a hole in my head the shape of
my name.
My name is I don't know what my name is. I fear I've underestimated the Mimic. I keep going back to read my name, because I know I
wrote it down earlier. But the second after I read it, I forget it again. It's not just erasing the memory, I can no longer retain
that information at all. It's gone forever.
As for the document it left, it was another set of containment procedures (for what organization?). They're the only paper I've seen
out here anyway. The whole thing is in my handwriting. It's learning to mimic me. It can't get the thought process down, but it's
getting better at it. The real Tony's probably wandering around this place somewhere, emptied out years ago.
Is that why it's let me keep going this long, instead of just finishing me off? Keeping its reference material around? I look at my
hands and I can see how old they are, but I don't remember the years. I don't even know what fucking year it is now. How long have I
been here, anyway? When did I get here? What was the date? It's back there, in the first thing I wrote, but I can't fucking remember
it.
I'm not getting out of here. Why am I even writing these? Chances are nobody will ever read them. Of course, no doubt some bullshit
skip will end up spitting out these documents for some stupid test at some point, but who cares? I'll be long gone. Keeping hopeful is
a force of habit, though, I guess. But I'm not just going to sit here hoping some magic bullshit team is going to pop out of a portal
and save me.
I'm going to fucking kill that thing. I'm not running away from some origami fucker that can't get the better of me without pretending
to be a building or a bug or a little fucking kid. I'm going to kick its shit in. Fuck you. Fuck you.

trails in the sand that hurt to look at.
It came at me again. I stabbed it.
And again.
And again.
We opened each other up. I filled its body with holes, and it filled my mind with them. There's not much left of me.
It writhed on the ground, collapsing in on itself, for a few minutes. I kept stabbing it. My hands felt wet, but it didn't bleed.
Maybe it wasn't alive in the same way I was. Some metaphysical bullshit, probably.
Stab stab stab. It died, collapsing into a tiny black ball the size of my thumb. Soft and squishy. I crushed it under my heel.
That easy. Why couldn't I have done it before? There would have been so much left of me if I'd done it straight away. Maybe I had a
reason, it's not like I know anymore.
When a bee stings somebody, it dies. Maybe the Mimic had something similar. The way it got me, right before I finished it off, it
feels different. Before, it just took something straight away. Now I feel like a boat with holes in it. Water rushing in. Or leaking
out, in my case. The metaphor doesn't quite work.
A boat like the Titanic! I remember that. I remember the Titanic. The Titanic was a ship that sank after hitting an iceberg and
I forgot something. I can't remember the words above this one. It's all going.
I could kill myself right now. I still have the knife. It's not the cleanest way to go, but I could cut my throat and make my exit.
But, the thing is, I don't want to die. I look at all the people here, wandering forever, eyes burnt out from looking up at the sun,
and all I can think is that I don't want to die.
I can still do it. There's time. So easy. I could do it. Just do it I should just
I don't know what these words mean.
i don't want to disappear

Salvation High School.
Salvation, IN, US
Special Containment Procedures: The town of Salvation, Indiana has been evacuated and a fenced 2km quarantine zone has been
established around the center of the town. Roads leading to the nearby town of Eminence have been removed and rerouted. Foundation
personnel are to monitor all known travel routes into Salvation for signs of civilians. Any civilians caught attempting to enter
Salvation are to be remanded to the custody of local authorities. Cover story 3935.18 “Hazardous Waste Disaster” is currently being
disseminated.
The building containing SCP-3935, Salvation High School, is to be guarded by Foundation security personnel. Under no circumstances are
any non-authorized personnel to enter SCP-3935. Individuals believed to be affected in any way by SCP-3935 are to be moved to
Temporary Site-81-5 near Eminence for evaluation.
It is currently believed that original inhabitants of Salvation are unable to reproduce. Deviation from this expectation is to be
closely monitored.
Exploration into SCP-3935 is currently forbidden. Due to the hazardous conditions within SCP-3935, any future exploration attempts are
restricted to Class-D personnel only.
Description: SCP-3935 is an extra-temporal, extra-spatial, non-Euclidean space located beneath the Salvation High School in Salvation,
Indiana. While SCP-3935 is the designation for the specific anomaly mentioned above, it is believed that the anomaly currently affects
the entire town of Salvation, as individuals have reported anomalous events taking place outside of SCP-3935 as well. The full extent
of these effects is not known.
SCP-3935 is reachable only through a collapsed section of sub-basement beneath the Salvation High School, near the northwest corner of
the building, below the school’s pool. It is believed that SCP-3935 was the source of anomalous activity that took place in Salvation
High School in the mid 1970s, which was investigated and contained by members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Unusual Incidents
Unit. Information pertaining to their investigation is available elsewhere in this file.
The access point to SCP-3935 proper exists roughly 25m below the collapsed section of basement, in a small antechamber containing a
stone arch. The original creator of the arch, or how it became buried so far underground in first place, are the subjects of
investigation. Inscribed on the arch is a phrase in English, not believed to exist elsewhere in literature:
The way below winds deeper, longer,

unspeakable its patterns laid.
The lost forever damned to wander
this thing a quiet madness made.
Addendum 3935.1: Discovery
SCP-3935 was originally discovered following a series of paranormal events that took place within the Salvation High School during the
week of April 18th, 1976 (see Addendum 3935.2). Sometime after the end of the primary anomalous activity period at the school, the
collapsed section of wall and floor leading to a narrow gap in the foundation was discovered by a member of the custodial staff. The
collapsed wall, which is located in an unspecified basement room below the primary basement, deteriorated even further until the gap
in the foundation was large enough that a person could fit into.
During an audit of the damage by a contractor, a member of the independent team accidentally slipped and fell into the antechamber
near SCP-3935. Without a way to easily extract the individual, their supervisor encouraged them to proceed into SCP-3935 a short
distance and see if there was a way out. When the individual did not return from SCP-3935, a search was conducted by members of the
contractor team and local authorities. When only two of the eleven individuals who entered SCP-3935 returned to the antechamber, and
when they began to give accounts of their experiences within, Foundation personnel embedded in local authorities took over the
investigation.
Over time, anomalous activity began to become more common outside of the high school in Salvation. After the events that took place in
April 1976, the town was officially condemned and the entire populace[1] was relocated.
1. No more than fourteen hundred people.
Addendum 3935.2: UIU Field Report
Addendum
Note: The following is a summary of the field report filed by UIU Field Agents Lonnie Carter, Patrick Wilson, and Ella Hughes.
Image attached to UIU file. Context unknown.
TOP SECRET
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
UNUSUAL INCIDENTS UNIT
The following is a comprehensive report detailing paranormal activity that took place in the town of SALVATION, INDIANA, between
April 18th and April 23rd, 1976. Agents Carter, Wilson, and Hughes dispatched to site of reported activity. Substantial paranormal
activity encountered - additional resources requested and employed in cover-up of paranormal activity. No reported involvement by
SCP Foundation or its agents. No reported involvement by Global Occult Coalition or its agents. No reported involvement by other
notable entities or their agents.
After ascertaining the scope of the reported paranormal activity, dispatched agents applied doses of CHEMICAL 110[2] to the entire
populace of SALVATION. All inhabitants accounted for, and moved to processing center in Indianapolis for further analysis.
Quarantine established around SALVATION.
2. An early model UIU amnestic, similar to the discontinued Foundation Class Silver amnestics (now replaced with the Y-909 Class B amnestic). Notable for its
toxicity and tendency to cause severe damage to human memory centers.
After extensive interviews of the population of SALVATION, the following timeline of paranormal activity has been constructed from
these eyewitness accounts:
Sunday Night: 10th grade students Diane Beasley and Cassandra Thompson report hearing what they described as “someone trying to
speak under the ground” when passing by the high school on their way home from a Sunday night church service. Ms. Thompson reports
this to her mother, who ignores it.
Monday: During gym class, 11th grade student Oliver Baker claims that he can hear voices coming from underneath the pool. Several
other students corroborate this story. When school officials come to investigate, they do not discern anything unusual. Notably, the
lining at the bottom of the pool appears cracked.
Several female students report seeing “faceless things” instead of their own reflections in the mirror of a second story bathroom
during a passing period. They do not seem bothered by this.
During lunch announcements, many students describe being able to hear a third voice[3] speaking unintelligibly below the broadcast.
The PA room sits in a media center near the pool, less than 40m from the entrance of the sub-basement room and collapsed wall.
3. Alongside the two announcing students.

Tuesday: Students arriving to the school notice that the Indiana state flag is more than three meters above the top of the flagpole,
attached to nothing. The American flag is not found. When observed, students claim that they can also see nine female figures
hanging by ropes from the flagpole, which disappear immediately after being seen.
During a freshman biology class, one student suddenly stands, is seen rolling their eyes back in their head, and descending suddenly
into the floor and out of sight. They reappear shortly later above a ceiling panel in the corner of the room. Despite being unable
to identify the student, several of his classmates insist it was just a joke[4].
4. This student is not accounted for in the attached Salvation population dossier.
Several students describe seeing a student they did not recognize at the school on Tuesday. When pushed to give details of the
student’s appearance, none are able to do so. Apparently the only defining characteristic of this student was a purple satchel with
the word “Syncope” written on the side in white embroidery.
A custodian reports seeing something standing at the bottom of the pool staring at him.
Wednesday: Upon arriving at the school, maintenance staff and the custodians note that there is a full two inches of water across
all levels of the school. Inexplicably, the school’s principal, Dr. Irvin White, decides to not close the school.
At 7:56am, the entire school hears someone whisper the word “hello” in their right ear.
Members of the school band realize that their instruments no longer produce any sound. However, when played the students report
seeing a “small, black human-shaped thing” flickering in and out of view in the corner of the room, facing the wall.
One student, Ava Lideway, witnesses a dark figure walking up and away from the school through the air at an impossible angle.
Eventually the figure disappears from sight and is never seen again. No other students address this.
Thursday: During a gym class, senior Nate Bennett avoids a dodgeball when it phases through him. As he begins to sink into the
floor, he screams for help. Nobody who noticed seemed motivated enough to help him.
The entire school shifts up roughly a foot off its foundations at 11:23am. The vice principal sent to inspect it describes
“something small, with too many faces, grinning at him from underneath the building” before the school slowly resettles.
The boys locker rooms disappear and are replaced by "something that screamed". Witnesses are unable to provide any further details.
As the students leave the school for the day, they see nine young women hanging in the air, tilted forward at a 45 degree angle,
roughly 25m above the school’s parking lot. They can be seen silently mouthing words. All witnesses described their appearance as
"ugly" and "unremarkable". They vanish at approximately 3:00 pm; the majority of all residents describe hearing a child's voice say
the word "hello" below them at this time. A panic ensues as town officials have no response for the women in the sky. The principal
decides to close the school on Friday.
Friday: The entire student body shows up for school on Friday. Being unable to get into the school due to the doors being locked,
they assemble outside the front door and wait. No individuals in this group could describe why they were there. There is a knock on
a window, and the entire student body sees a small, black, humanoid form standing outside of a second story classroom. The figure
begins to phase in and out of the window. The figure disappears, and then begins to phase in and out of other windows. Witnesses
describe its movements as “jerky, erratic, and spasmodic”. The figure disappears and the front door unlocks itself. The student body
enters the school.
The interior of the school has become non-Euclidean. As the students approach the “back” of the space, they realize they are moving
down, not into. All students now hear whispers, and some at the edge of the group hear drums in the distance. In the distance, they
see the archway leading to SCP-3935. Suddenly, the entire mass of students shifts 50m outside of the space, and are suddenly encased
in rock and earth. The students spend roughly 20 seconds trapped in this area, before reappearing back in the school.
All students report being the only one in the building and, after wandering through the hallways for a short time, coming across a
“doorway below a doorway” and entering the small sub-basement room. Inside the students report seeing three separate visions: a
woman crouched over a body of water, blood surrounding her feet and her arms extended into the water up to her elbows, a farmhouse
in the middle of a grove of trees that is burning while nine humanoid figures hang in the air overhead, and a weeping woman digging
in a field until her hands begin to rot and fall apart. Once the visions subside, the small black humanoid appears. Students hear
the entity say the word “hello” again, are immediately surrounded by nine screaming female figures, and then are suddenly in their
own homes.
As additional agents begin to enter the town to apply amnestics to the subjects, additional anomalous activity is reported around
the town. Several individuals report seeing bodies hanging in the sky. Several individuals report turning on their taps and human
hair and mucus flowing out instead of water. Several individuals report feeling as if their facial features had disappeared
entirely, while several other reported seeing faceless creatures in town. A completely still black humanoid entity is seen
frantically appearing and reappearing in rapid succession up and down the main thoroughfare in the town.
One unidentified woman reports witnessing a weeping young woman running back into the school building. After following her into the
now-unlocked sub-basement, she is unable to find the young woman but is the first to report the collapsed floor.
Aftermath Summary: Over the next few days, UIU amnestic regimens begin to take effect. Most townspeople are readily convinced that
the things they saw were hallucinations as a result of toxic gasses blown south from a factory to the north. At the end of the next
week, contractors assessing the damage to the school discover the sub-basement room, as well as the entrance to SCP-3935. Foundation
involvement begins shortly thereafter.
Addendum 3935.3: Initial Exploration and Recovery Log
Addendum
Only known image of black humanoid entity, circled in red.
Note: The following log is a transcription of audio and video recordings gathered from the initial Foundation search-and-rescue
attempt into SCP-3935.
[BEGIN LOG]
Ellis: Alright, mics hot. Let’s go.
Agents Ellis, Porter and Haskel enter SCP-3935. Each is equipped with a shoulder mounted torch, which illuminates upon entering the
space beyond the archway.
Ellis: Alright so first thing’s first, there’s definitely something happening back here. (Pauses) The walls are getting pretty
tight. Stay close.
Team proceeds forward.
Porter: Can you feel that?
Ellis: What?
Porter: The air feels funny.
Haskel: Yeah, and the walls look.
Shoulder mounted torch illuminates the wall next to Agent Haskel. Images are carved into the rock, similar to a child's drawings.
Ellis: Come on, I think I feel a breeze. Might be an opening up here.
Team continues to push through the rock tunnel.
Porter: Jesus, these I can barely move, the walls are too close. Ellis, I- (cuts out suddenly).
Agent Porter's camera suddenly goes black. A moment later, it appears to be looking up at two sources of light, likely Ellis and
Haskel's torches, as Agent Porter falls.
Porter: (Intermittent screaming)
Ellis: What the fuck just happened? Porter? Porter? Where- I can't turn around, where is he?
Haskel: I hear something coming behind us, we need to move. We need to move!
Both agents struggle to continue forward, the tight space continuing to impede their movement. After a short time of struggling,
both men fall forward into a larger open space.
Ellis: Jesus Christ, I can't- where's Porter? Porter?
Haskel: He's not behind me, can you see him in there?
Silence.
Ellis: We OK. We need to get another team down here. He might have fallen in a ravine or something, or slipped back there, or-
Haskel: Ellis look.
Both men turn around and illuminate the space they are in with their shoulder mounted torches. In front of them is a massive
structure, seemingly carved out of the stone around them. A thick fog covers the entire chamber. Beyond the fog, dim lights are
visible in openings in the structure. It is impossible to determine how high or low the structure extends. The structure is only
reachable via a narrow stone bridge that extends across a large chasm between the agents and the far wall.
Ellis: Is that is this the high school? Why does it look like that?
Haskel: Yeah the geometry isn't right, but yeah, look there. That's the main entrance. There's another door there, yeah. This is
the school. (Pauses) There's another one below it. And one below that.
Ellis: How far down does this go? Are there any other-
Both men pause. Appearing over the bridge in front of them are nine female humanoid figures, their faces obscured by long white
hair. They do not move.
Haskel: Ellis?
Ellis: Hang on.

The nine entities hang in the air for a short time, before suddenly appearing ten meters backwards, and then another ten, and then
right in front of the door to the subterranean school structure. The faces of all nine suddenly become visible, and although they
are not visible on the recording due to the distance, both agents noticeably recoil. Afterwards, all the entities disappear.
Haskel: Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ- holy shit what was that?
Ellis: (Heavy breathing) Alright, god, we are not ready for this. We-
There is the sudden sound of many voices speaking in hushed tones in the distance. Both agents react at the sound.
Haskel: The search team? Survivors?
Ellis: Come on, let's go.
Both agents cross the chasm bridge leading towards the non-Euclidean replica of Salvation High School. Upon entering, they find the
main concourse of the school. No other entities are visible within.
Haskel: Porter? Anyone? Is there anyone here?
Ellis: I feel like- Jesus, you feel this too? Like you're looking at the whole room all at once?
Haskel: Yeah, it's the fucking- the walls don't make any sense.
Ellis: Come on. I hear the voices down this way, let's go.
Both men move quickly down the closest hallway. As they do, doors on either side of the wall are visible. Although neither agent
seems to notice, faces are occasionally visible through glass panes in the doorways. They are impossible to make out.
Ellis: Here, this is the door to the auditorium. I'll bet they're in-
Agent Ellis opens the door. As he does, his video recorder disconnects. Agent Haskel screams and scrambles backwards. The voices
increase dramatically in volume and from Agent Haskel's perspective on the ground near the door, nine female figures appear around
Agent Ellis. Their movements are erratic and their bodies are contorted into impossible positions. They close on Agent Ellis, and
the man and the figures disappear.
Haskel: Fuck! Fuck! Ellis! God- fuck!
Agent Haskel stands and begins to run away from the door. As he reaches the end of the hall, he looks back over his shoulder and
sees the nine figures approaching.
Haskel: Oh fuck! Oh fuck! No no no! Hello? Is anyone there? Help me! God, please, help me! Hello? Fuck me, please, god, help!
Agent Haskel turns again to see the nine figures in the hallway behind him, though they are no longer moving forward. Instead, they
hang in the air, unmoving, as Agent Haskel's pace slows. He watches them for a moment, and then stops. His breathing becomes quick.
Haskel: Wh- what? What do you want?
Agent Haskel turns slowly to look behind him, and upon turning is face-to-face with a small, black, humanoid creature sitting upside
down on the ceiling of the hallway. The creature has no discernible features, but its presence creates significant visual distortion
in Agent Haskel's camera.
Unidentified Figure: Hello.
There is a loud, low sound like a bell tolling. The sound continues for twenty seconds. The video feed for Agent Haskel goes dead.
The audio feed begins to experience severe distortion, as if the signal was being drawn out over a longer period of time. There is a
snapping noise, and then the feed goes silent. All three signals are quiet for some time. Eventually, all three radios begin
responding again.
Ellis: -just wants to be, wouldn't you like to just be? (Pauses) Yeah, yeah, we all would die. We all would die. No more of the
nine, we all would- (Pauses) They're back. They're ba-
Silence for eighty-one minutes.
Haskel: -wall is like every other wall. This hall is like every other hall. Down and down and down and down, no no no no more
please, no more down, can't go down any more, can't go-
Silence for eighteen minutes.
Haskel: Ellis, god, can anyone hear me? (Shouting) Does anyone know who I am? I can't see the light anymore! I can't see- oh god,
it's only dark, it's only dark down here. I just want to see the light aga-
Silence for nine minutes.
Haskel: (Laughing and speaking incoherently) -tenth is down below, the tenth is the madness, woke it up, there are nine but the
tenth is down below, god please just make it-
Porter: (Screaming)
Haskel: I see you down there. You want me to come in? You want me to you want us to all come down and be with you, down (Wet,
choking sounds. Splashing. Sharp intake of breath. Wet choking. Silence.)
Ellis: Fall forever! Fall forever! Fall forever! Fall forever! Fall forev- (Sound of wind moving past the microphone quickly).
Porter: -goes on forever. It goes down forever. We're in here forever. Just more of the nine, more of Salvation, down forever and
ever. None of them got out. None of them got out. None of them got- got- got- got out out out out- (Static)
Unidentified Voice: (Through Porter's radio) Hello.
Porter: (Weeping)
Porter: (Static)
No more transmissions from any of the three microphones received after this point. Possible exploration attempts into SCP-3935 using
Class-D subjects are forthcoming.

Addendum 3935.4: Anomalous Activity in Salvation
Addendum
The following are incidents of anomalous activity in Salvation, Indiana reported by staff during the Foundation’s occupancy of the
town.
Reports of a figure, dressed as a UIU agent, who tries to direct individuals towards the high school. This figure disappears if
observed for too long.
Agent Wills reported seeing a small black figure sitting underneath his vehicle upon approaching. After looking beneath the
vehicle, the figure was not there. Afterwards, Agent Wills reports always seeing the black figure in his peripheral vision.
Many reports of sounds coming from a grove of trees near the high school. Examination of the grove returned only a dilapidated
one-bedroom house and nine [DATA EXPUNGED] in the backyard. The appearance of nine hanging female figures drives off the
exploration team. Further examination of the grove was unable to locate the house.
After dark, many agents report seeing the nine female humanoid entities[5] jerkily moving towards them in the dark only to slide
into the earth or fade away before reaching them. Several reports of similar figures up in trees.
Reports of several bodies (no more than nine at a time) that float up from the bottom of a small pond outside of the town and
rest at the surface of the water before sinking and disappearing. Likely connected in some way to the nine [DATA EXPUNGED] that
appeared behind the house in the grove.
5. With extremely distended features, or no features at all.
Addendum 3935.5: Interview with Person of Interest
Addendum
Note: The following interview was conducted by Agent Ryan Aimes in 2002. The subject, Mrs. Valerie Fletcher, was a teacher at
Salvation High School during the period of anomalous activity in 1976.
Image of an unidentified figure in the sky. Collected from UIU report.
[BEGIN LOG]
Agent Aimes: Can you tell me about your time at Salvation?
Mrs. Fletcher: Oh, well you know, I already told you about the memory loss. Just can't seem to string anything together anymore[6]
I was a teacher though, see. I taught, uh English I believe, and yes, I was at Salvation for some time.
6. Likely due to the experimental amnestic "Chemical 110" utilized by the UIU in the 1970s.
Agent Aimes: What can you tell me about the town? Anything you remember that stands out?
Mrs. Fletcher: Well it was quiet, you know. One road in and one road out. We didn't get many outsiders, so we were a pretty tight
knit community. I don't even think we had police, you know, because who would need them? We didn't have crime, not really. (Pauses)
There were always some people who would tell stories, you know. They
Agent Aimes: Yes?
Mrs. Fletcher: What? Hello? Hello?
Agent Aimes: You were just talking about people telling stories, Mrs. Fletcher.
Mrs. Fletcher: Oh. The young people would go out into the woods and get themselves all riled up about whatever spook or specter they
thought they were seeing out there. (Pauses) There were some things that were strange. Well, I don't know if they were actually
strange, or if it's just my memory giving me trouble again. Like sometimes, you'd be driving down the street and you'd see somebody
standing on the side of the road, waving, just like this. And you'd look back and nobody would be there. I think it was just the
kids playing pranks on people.
Agent Aimes: What about at the high school? Anything strange ever happen there?
Mrs. Fletcher: High school?
Agent Aimes: Where you were a teacher. Salvation High School?
Mrs. Fletcher: I yes, I was a teacher. I taught English, I think.
Agent Aimes: Do you remember anything strange happening at the school?
Mrs. Fletcher: No no, I mean, nothing out of the ordinary. We did have a child disappear once, I think. The last she was seen was
by the pool and then nobody ever saw them again. I just think- well, I think they ended up saying they just ran away. Some of them
were problem children, you know, trouble. And there's just nothing you can do. Maybe it was better for them, I don't know. There
were a lot of people in Salvation who had some strong opinions, and some of them didn't sit very well with the young people.
Agent Aimes: What do you mean?
Mrs. Fletcher: Oh, you know. The church was very important in town, we had a few and almost everyone went. But we had, if I remember
this right, there was one girl who got pregnant, I think I'm sorry, what were we talking about? I can't I can't seem to hello?
Agent Aimes: A girl who got pregnant.
Mrs. Fletcher: Yes, out of wedlock; it was quite a scandal. I don't remember what happened to her, but I know a lot of people were
very upset about it. (Pauses) You know, I don't remember that girl's name no, no but I do remember her coming to me one time and
asking about something strange she had heard. She was pregnant, out of wedlock. It was quite a scandal, and didn't want- well,
didn't want the boys to see, but she said she was sitting on the bleachers, and kept hearing a- a knocking. Like somebody hitting
hitting something she didn't want the the boys didn't want them to-
Agent Aimes: Mrs. Fletcher?
Mrs. Fletcher: I'm sorry, I'm just so all over anymore. She, uh, she said she would see things sometimes too, but I don't know
anything about that. She also well, I don't know if I dreamed this or not, but I remember her saying hello to me, too many times.
All at once, too, not like a greeting. Like it was the only word she knew for for a moment, like she like it was all she hello?
Agent Aimes: Is there anything else about Salvation you remember?
Mrs. Fletcher: I (pauses) It all blurs together, after all this time. I seem to remember there was one time one time when the, ah,
well, somebody found a girl maybe the, the same well, I don't know, but they were strung up in the woods, like a hanging. I think
they called it a suicide, one of the girls who did cheer, you know, but uh, it was somebody who well, I don't know why they'd do
anything like that. They had a note, uh, they had written with uh I'm sorry, anyway, a note in their hand. Actually asked me to
look at it, see if it was the same handwriting and everything.
Agent Aimes: What did it say?
Mrs. Fletcher: Oh, well if I remember right, it was on one side, they just had a, just like a drawing. Like a building, but strange
somehow I don't remember why. On the other it was just a word written over and over again I don't remember what it was, I think it
was wet, or or something, you couldn't make it out. Very queer, now that I think think of it what a strange thing to write just
before you die. Don't you think?
Agent Aimes: Do you remember anything from the week you were evacuated?
Mrs. Fletcher: No, no, well I mean, the vapors were very strong that week, from the factory. They said that we might experience
hallucinations, and I definitely did see, I saw, I mean, saw some things. I saw well, there was one day I imagined a child
floating backwards into a wall and then well, then they, uh suffocated. Heard him screaming and pounding against the wall, we all
did. It was a a strange hallucination. He stopped I'm sorry, what am I doing here again?
Agent Aimes: We're just talking, Mrs. Fletcher. I'm here with the insurance company. You were talking about the hallucination,
remember? About the boy in the wall?
Mrs. Fletcher: Oh, yes. I'm sorry, I just don't remember quite so well anymore. The hallucination, though I saw that boy go in, and
then we didn't hear anything else. Now that I think about it, that's very peculiar. The hallucination was very clear, he just he
cried for a long time, and seemed so afraid, but well I don't, um I don't seem to remember it bothering me. I I think it must
have just been a- a prank.
Agent Aimes: One last question, Mrs. Fletcher. After the earthquake, they found a room underneath the basement near the pool. Do you
know anything about that?
Mrs. Fletcher: (Shifts uncomfortably) No, I don't- nobody ever went into that room but the janitors, I think. Just storage. Though
(pauses) you know, I think that girl asked about that room once. Said she well she heard some things coming from it. She was very
interested in it, I think, before she uh well, either way. But I don't know, I might not be remembering that right. I do- well,
some of the hallucinations, you know, they told us not to think about them anymore, so I do try not to, but I know some other
people who have, and they they aren't doing very well anymore.
Agent Aimes: Thank you again for your time, Mrs. Fletcher. (Stands to leave) Actually, before I go, do you think you know anything
about this? (Shows the subject an image taken of the nine unidentified female figures.)
At this point, the subject becomes noticeably pale and short of breath.
Mrs. Fletcher: Well yes, I do. Those are the, uh- that's the cheerleaders. (Pauses) There were, uh, well, let me think there were
ten of them, though, I think. Unless something happened to one of them, there were definitely ten.

Welcome. Alexandria awaits.
Item #: SCP-4001
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4001 is secured within a reinforced concrete bunker disguised as a warehouse, constructed for its concealment in the city
of Alexandria, Egypt. The block surrounding the warehouse has been purchased by the Foundation, and the buildings upon them are currently rented out to a
number of business and private individuals to help maintain the facade. All civilians and non-cleared staff attempting to enter the warehouse are to be
turned away. All civilians and non-cleared staff found within the warehouse are to be detained, interrogated, and administered Class-C Amnestics. The use of
lethal force if intruders prove non-compliant is authorised.
Multiple failsafes are built into the bunker, including automated guns, gas weaponry, collapsible floors, cognitohazard presenting screens, and a
'tombstone', a 300 tonne load of impure iron laced with thermite charges set directly over the tunnel to SCP-4001[1]. In the event of a large hostile assault
against SCP-4001, all available teams are to be deployed to defend SCP-4001. Additionally, the deployment of SCP- , SCP- , SCP- , and SCP- to
defend or recapture the premises is authorised.
1. As a last resort, detonating the charges would flood and seal the tunnel with molten iron, severely delaying access to SCP-4001 and allowing response teams time to assault and recapture the
location. In extreme cases, the load of iron would also serve to protect SCP-4001 from damage if a nuclear detonation over the location becomes a tactical necessity.
Entry to SCP-4001 is restricted to Level 4 and above researchers with permission from the O5-Council. Open flames are strictly forbidden within SCP-4001, as
are firearms or bladed weapons of any kind. Writing utensils of any kind may only be brought inside SCP-4001 with a majority vote by the O5-Council. Breach
of these conditions could result in a CK-class restructuring scenario, or an XK-class end-of-the-world scenario.
Description: SCP-4001 consists of a tunnel, leading down to an antechamber, connecting to a staircase which descends 15 meters below ground[2]. The staircase
emerges from a tower into a large room stacked with bookshelves[3]. The room does not conform to Euclidian geometry; it is possible to walk in any one
direction and eventually return to the point of origin. The room is 312 meters in width, of indeterminate height[4], and many hundreds of kilometers in
length. Under appropriate lighting conditions or with the use of vision aids, it is possible to see oneself in the distance by looking in the appropriate
direction.
4. While SCP-4001 lacks a roof and has plentiful space above the shelves, the non-Euclidian geometry means that it is impossible to ascend to a height greater than 25 meters above the floor,
with further attempts to increase in altitude resulting in remaining at the same height.
3. Attempts to dig into SCP-4001 from outside have resulted in digging past its expected location, indicating that SCP-4001 exists within an extra-dimensional space. The tower itself
terminates 12 metres above the ground, rather than appearing to connect to any roof.
2. Titanium/tungsten security doors have since been constructed within the antechamber.
The room is filled entirely by bookshelves. Each bookshelf is 2.8 meters in height and 100 meters in length, all neatly aligned with 2 meters of walkway
space between shelves. An 8 meter wide main walkway originates from the staircase and runs in both directions the full length of SCP-4001, with identical
modern-styled couches situated every 20 meters along the main walkway[5]. Every fifth bookshelf has an electric lamp installed, which are the only light
sources within SCP-4001. As such, most of the space within SCP-4001 is poorly illuminated. No power source has yet been identified for the lights. The floor
is covered entirely in a sturdy carpet.
5. The repetitive nature of the geography means it can be easy to lose one's location within SCP-4001. The only otherwise distinct structure within SCP-4001 is the tower from which the stair
descends.
Individuals standing within the room will hear steady ruffling noises, and on occasion loud thudding noises. The source of this sound is the origination of
bookshelves and new books upon them, which occurs continuously without any obvious source of material[6].
6. New shelves appear at an approximate rate of one every 16 hours, with several new books appearing each second.
SCP-4001 represents the complete archive of every human life to date, and is continuously self-updating. Every human being that has ever lived has a single
corresponding book within the archive, detailing all important events in their life[7]. As humans are born, new books corresponding to them are added to the
archive. Each book is identical in size and thickness, approximately the size of a standard paperback novel, though the number of pages varies depending upon
the individual's lifespan and breadth of accomplishments[8]. Each book is completely accurate in its contents, and thus SCP-4001 represents an unprecedented
intelligence resource. Books are stored in order of individuals' births, and the spine and front cover of each book is inscribed with the name of those it
refers to. Each book is written in a language which is unlike any existing language known to the Foundation, while simultaneously being completely
comprehensible to any literate individual reading it. The total number of books is estimated at approximately 120 billion[9].
9. Each bookshelf is double sided, each side holding 8 rows of 5,000 books, for a total of 80,000 books per shelf. SCP-4001 stores three shelves in a line before returning to the same point,
thus keeping some 240,000 books per walkway. At 2.5 meters from one walkway to the next, one thus passes almost one million books for every 10 meters one walks along SCP-4001, or 100 million
per kilometer. At last estimate, SCP-4001 is well over 1000 kilometers in length.
8. The exact dimensions of every book, regardless of number of pages, is 12 cm x 20 cm x 2 cm.
7. This includes human-born SCP instances, though no book pertaining to a non-human being has yet been located, with the exception of SCP-4001-2.
Books can be taken from the shelves and read freely. Books can be scanned, copied and photographed without consequence. If returned to any of the shelves,
the book will vanish and reappear in its original location within the archives. Any attempt to remove a book from the archives results in the book vanishing
and returning to its shelf.
The contents of the books represent the absolute truth and history of the individuals contained within. Altering the contents of the books has a
corresponding retrocausal effect upon reality, with memories, locations, physical structures, physical states, and even complete existences changing
accordingly to alterations applied to the books. Writing a decision, meeting, reward, change in personality, change in feeling towards individuals, change in
health, method of death, or any other notable achievement or life event into a book will cause that event to transpire for the appropriate individual at the
first possible opportunity.
Discovery: SCP-4001 was first encountered by Foundation staff in 18 after it was uncovered during an archaeological dig under an old part of the city. The
Foundation quickly isolated the location and administered amnestics to the archaeologists involved. The Foundation continued to operate the dig site for a
few more months, occasionally pretending to find some pottery or bones, in order to avoid drawing suspicion.
Initial forays into SCP-4001 were done cautiously, since the extent of the room was not fully understood. Once researchers realised the contents of the
archive and the basic nature of the books, advance teams were sent with supplies to place flags at locations of interest, since the bookshelves are not
marked nor distinguishable in any way. Seventeen days after beginning their expedition, the first advance team encountered a living individual within SCP-
4001, designated SCP-4001-1[10], who had survived within SCP-4001 for nearly two millenia (see Addendum 4001-1).
10. The individual referred to himself as the 'Watcher of Alexandria Eternal'.
There are currently seven 'camps' within SCP-4001, each with its own generators, water filters, and beacons to aid in locating it, since it can take many
days or even weeks to walk between camps[11].
11. It is highly recommended that any attempts to foray within SCP-4001 are done by bicycle, with supplies of food, water, and backup sources of electricity, though the ambient temperature and
lack of humidity means that heat sources are unnecessary.
camp locations
Camp # Distance 'back' from Base Camp Persons of Interest

Base Camp - New births and shelves, first humans
Camp B 20 km[12] First birth in year 2000
Camp C 130 km Albert Einstein
Camp D 250 km Leonardo Da Vinci
Camp E 430 km Charlemagne
Camp F 600 km Marcus Aurelius
Camp G 970 km[13] Founders of Ur
13. If walking 'forward' from Base Camp to G, the distance is approximately 200 km.
12. Due to the continuous expansion of shelves into the intervening space, these values are steadily increasing
The oldest of books are estimated to correspond to human births dating back approximately 75,000 years[14]. Such books, if entitled at all, are entitled with
positions within society rather than proper names, such as 'Firebringer', 'Hunter', 'Chief', 'Mother', or 'Friend-Killer'. Regardless of age, all books
appear to be in the same condition as the newest of books. Analysis of the earliest of books seems to support the human population bottleneck theory[15], with
the vast majority of the earliest books representing individuals completely disconnected from those found in other books. As many as half of the books within
the archive lack any names or titles, with many more books simply being titled 'The Baby' or 'The Infant', with the book detailing the short life of a baby
who died before they could be named.
15. Around 75,000 BC, the Toba Supervolcano in Indonesia erupted, with severe impacts on global climate. The theory states that this had a catastrophic impact on the burgeoning proto-human
population. Genetic analyses suggest the human population fell as low as 5000 breeding individuals in the few millennia following the eruption, with modern humanity showing unusually low
genetic diversity as a consequence. No other possible cause for the bottleneck has been identified.
14. None of the books contain reference to dates, with very few referencing named locations, making identification of specific locations or time periods difficult.
Researcher Note: Due to the exponential rate of human population growth, I am recommending we establish new camps every decade or so from this point.
Otherwise, the degree of reliability in terms of delving the archives in person is liable to be compromised. Also, I'm recommending we install and maintain
a small electric monorail within SCP-4001 to facilitate ease of access, or come up with some other practical method of assistance. There has to be a better
way than having to ride with food and water for weeks to find one person's records.

Addendum 4001.1: Interview Log
Access Interview Logs hide Interview Log
The following interview was conducted with SCP-4001-1, the man found living within SCP-4001. Initial processessing of SCP-4001-1 proved difficult, since he
spoke no modern languages, and no Foundation staff on site could fluently speak Ancient Greek. The interview was performed within SCP-4001, since the
subject's extreme age had left him quite infirm. The interview has been translated from Ancient Greek.
Interviewer: Dr. Gabriel Koudopolis
Interviewee: SCP-4001-1
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Koudopolis: For the record, this is Dr. Gabriel Koudopolis, Foundation researcher and anthropologist, interviewing an unknown man found within SCP-
4001. (switches to Ancient Greek) Greetings. My name is Philosopher Koudopolis. I'm an anthropologist. I study ancient civilisations.
SCP-4001-1: A philosophical scholar? Or a tomb robber? You know not the danger of this place, invader. If you disturb the shelves you will be cursed.
Dr. Koudopolis: A little of both, to be honest, though I am no invader, and I seemed to be fine reading the books so far. Do you have a name, SCP-4001-1?
SCP-4001-1: Why have you disturbed Alexandria? Who are you invaders with? The Romans? The Coptics? The Hebrews?
Dr. Koudopolis: I am with a group known as the Foundation. We preserve and protect unusual things. We keep them safe, and prevent them from being dangerous
to mankind.
SCP-4001-1: You are not with the Roman Republic?
Dr. Koudopolis: No. The Roman Empire collapsed some fourteen hundred years ago.
SCP-4001-1: (Eyeing Dr. Koupodolis warily) Fourteen hundred years? Surely it has not been so long.
Dr. Koudopolis: How long have you been down here? Who was the last ruler?
SCP-4001-1: I do not know how long. I have not seen the Sun, or the stars since I entered. The last I remember, there was unrest about the new queen.
Cleopatra VII.
Dr. Koudopolis: Cleopatra VII? That's some nineteen hundred years.
SCP-4001-1: Nineteen hundred years? That is unfathomable, invader. Impossible. (SCP-4001-1 is silent for a few minutes) You say you have read from the
shelves, and partaken of the sacred knowledge?
Dr. Koudopolis: Yes. I have skimmed over a few of the books. We've realised what this place is, and what it represents. The team that encountered you was
searching for the book of someone famous, and planning to establish some bases in here.
SCP 4001-1: You have read the sacred texts and not been judged? Perhaps your incursion is not a violation. My name was Theopoles. I am the Watcher of
Alexandria Eternal. She is the most important thing in the world.
Dr. Koudopolis: Alexandria Eternal? You mean this place?
SCP-4001-1: Yes. This is our greatest resource. A record of Eternity. All that has ever been, since the very dawn of man. A gift from the gods to us.
Dr. Koudopolis: Which gods?
SCP-4001-1: All of them. The gods of Olympus, the gods of the Nile, maybe even that god of the Hebrews.
Dr. Koudopolis: How long has it been here?
SCP-4001-1: I do not know. There were people here, watching over her when Alexander came and built his city over her. We kept ourselves hidden, and
eventually had the Library built over her, an archive over an archive. Only a few of us knew of the secret door that led down here, and we passed the
knowledge on to the worthy. Not even the pharaohs knew of this place. By the time I was born, she had taken on the name of the city she hid beneath. I do
not know her true name, though I have searched long for it.
Dr. Koudopolis: How did you come to be down here?
SCP-4001-1: I took instruction under the previous Watcher after demonstrating my affinities in the library above, though I suspect that is not what you
meant.
Dr. Koudopolis: No.
SCP-4001-1: The Romans came on their ships. They came and burned in their conquest, and the flames spread to the Library. I retreated within here excuse
me. I must attend to myself.
(SCP-4001-1 pauses, and pulls a scroll from within his robes, delicately unrolling the end of it. He draws a sliver of metal from within his robes, pierces
the end of his right index finger, and proceeds to write a sentence in his own blood onto the scroll, before rolling it up and stowing it again.)
SCP-4001-1: My apologies. Now, the flames.
Dr. Koudopolis: Sorry, but what was that you just did?
SCP-4001-1: Given myself yet another day.
Dr. Koudopolis: Another day? You can use the books to make yourself immortal?
SCP-4001-1: No. I am not immortal. When the Romans came, and the Library began to burn, I retreated within here for safety. I heard the sound of rumbling
as the Library collapsed upon her, and I could not muster the strength to dig my way out. I was trapped.
Dr. Koudopolis: How did you survive? Is that scroll ?

SCP-4001-1: Mine? Yes. In the days that followed I did not lack for warmth, or for water, since we kept a few jugs down here, but I began to hunger. Before
a moon had passed, the water was drunk, and I was starving. In my desperation and delirium, I sought a way for Alexandria to save me.
Dr. Koudopolis: You used your own book.
SCP-4001-1: I travelled within, found my scroll, and wrote myself back into health. I quenched my thirst. I sated my hunger. I have used my scroll and my
blood; cured every disease, every infirmity, and bought myself one day at a time ever since. Whenever I felt the void drawing me, I added another line to
my compendium, to stave off the eternal rest for a little longer.
Dr. Koudopolis: How did you find the will to survive for so long?
SCP-4001-1: She needed me. She must have a Watcher. Someone who walks her aisles, who appreciates her texts, who lets her know she is loved. She speaks to
me sometimes, when I wander from the light.
Dr. Koudopolis: The Library speaks to you?
SCP-4001-1: She leaves me messages. In my scroll. Whispers to me in the dark and makes notes of her whisperings for my perusal.
Dr. Koudopolis: What does she say?
SCP-4001-1: She tells me to wait. So I have waited. I walked her, end to end, many times over. I have read accounts of lives, some simple, some glorious,
some beautiful, some ugly. I have waited through the changes. All of her scrolls, bar mine, became bound tomes, then these little 'books' as you call them.
Her torches and sconces turned to candles, and now to these strange oil burning 'lamps', as you call them, and her woven benches became these leather bound
and pressed oddities. I waited for so long. Waiting for someone to show up and tell me my task had not been in vain. (SCP-4001-1 falls briefly silent
again) Tell me, philosopher, who is the Pharaoh now?
Dr. Koudopolis: There is no pharaoh now. Cleopatra was the last before the Romans conquered Egypt. Egypt has not had a pharaoh since. The Roman Empire
grew, collapsed, and out of her ashes multiple empires rose. The Spanish, the English, the Dutch, and so on.
SCP-4001-1: Are they great Empires?
Dr. Koudopolis: They are great. Though they are not good.
SCP-4001-1: I see. That is perhaps true of all empires. Even great Egypt was not a place of kindness, nor were we able to stay the advance of Rome. We were
so proud in the city. Alexandria was a great city, and her Library was the envy of the world, but no-one but us understood the true greatness she hid
beneath her. Perhaps if we had just no. I have pondered that alternative many times, and it would never be what she wanted. Philosopher, what do you
intend to do with this place?
Dr. Koudopolis: My task is to keep it safe. To discover its mysteries.
SCP-4001-1: To use it?
Dr. Koudopolis: Perhaps. Cautiously if we do, and only if necessary. I've already read some books, and I understand the potential.
SCP-4001-1: These empires you speak of they must never find this place. They would exploit her without thought.
Dr. Koudopolis: We are taking steps to ensure that it remains hidden.
SCP-4001-1: Good. Good. Philosopher, would you do me a kindness?
Dr. Koudopolis: I can make no promises.
SCP-4001-1: I would simply like to see the sky again. It has been nineteen hundred years since I have seen the stars. Nineteen hundred years since I have
seen the Sun. It is eternally dark down here. There is no roof but the black void, and what light she gives us barely stretches the length of a shelf.
Dr. Koudopolis: I shall make a request to my superiors.
SCP-4001-1: Thank you Watcher.
[END LOG]
Notes: SCP-4001-1 was granted permission to leave SCP-4001. With the assistance of Dr. Koudopolis, he was taken up the stairs to the surface on a clear
night. He spoke briefly with Dr. Koudopolis during his time on the surface, died shortly after sunrise, and was buried in a small grave outside the city. Dr.
Koudopolis maintains that he spoke of nothing of consequence in his final hours, and has not been persuaded to divulge otherwise.
Addendum 4001.2: Testing Logs
Testing Logs
All tests were authorised and overseen by Senior Researcher Dr. Waylon Henricks, with the assistance of Dr. Avon Travers.
Test Subject: D-0546, a healthy 35 year old male.
Procedure: Book pertaining to D-0546 was located. Pen was used to write the phrase "lost all hair" in the book on the last page.
Result: D-0546 started shedding their hair, becoming completely bald after 75 seconds.
Test Subject: D-0567, an incapacitated and bedridden 27 year old female, crippled 3 weeks prior to the test.
Procedure: Book pertaining to D-0567 was located. Pen was used to scribble out the line "back painfully broken while fleeing from SCP- ". (Line located on
the last page of the book.)
Result: D-0567 suffered a slight nosebleed and headache. After 150 seconds, D-0567 sat up and exited their bed. D-0567 does not remember their injury, and
demonstrates ongoing symptoms of amnesia.
Test Subject: [REDACTED]
Procedure: Book pertaining to [REDACTED] was located. Pen was used to write the phrase "suffered heart attack and died" in the book on the last page.
Result: [REDACTED] was reported dead in the newspapers the next day, having died of a sudden heart attack.[16]
16. Archive Manager Abrams explicitly forbade the use of SCP-4001 to terminate life after this test. Dr. Henricks was admonished and disciplined, and required to submit all experimentation
methodology to approval before continuing experimentation.
Test Subject: D-0120, a healthy 22 year old male female.
Procedure: Book pertaining to D-0120 was located. Pen was used to amend the phrase "hearty and loud baby boy born, 8 lbs 6 oz" to "hearty and loud baby boy
girl born, 8 lbs 6 oz" (Line located on the first page of the book.)
Result: D-0120 suffered a severe nosebleed and headache, as did 26 Foundation staff, including all researchers involved in testing. D-0120 flickered in and
out of existence briefly, their appearance shifting from that of a young man to a young woman, before stabilising and falling unconscious. D-0120 was
administered first aid, and Class-A amnestics.
Notes from Dr. Henricks: D-0120 has since shown gender dysphoria, continues to identify as a male, and has requested genital reconstructive surgery.
Test Subject: D-0245, a 45 year old male with a history of sexual assault.
Procedure: Book pertaining to D-0245 was located. Book pertaining to one Maria Hermez ( years of age at death) was located. Pen was used to scribble out the
line "callously stalked, brutally [REDACTED] and slowly [REDACTED] Maria Hermez". (Line located on the second last page of the book.)
Result: D-0245 suffered a severe nosebleed and headache, as did 7 Foundation staff, including all researchers involved in testing. D-0245 then disappeared,
leaving no physical evidence behind. Both books also immediately disappeared, and returned to their places upon the shelves. Details of the books after the
edit had changed. D-0245 was later tracked down and found to have died three years prior in a violent altercation. Maria Hermez was found to have died in a
car crash three days after the event originally happened.
Notes from Dr. Henricks: Her untimely death is unusual here. Possible Schmidt-Luhrmann effect[17] in play?
17. The Schmidt-Luhrmann effect is the tendency of retrocausally altered timelines to replicate events from the original timeline far more closely than would otherwise be expected under the
Butterfly effect, presumably to avoid catastrophic chronological paradoxes.
Test Subject: Researcher Dr. Claire Williams, 32, suffering from third stage lymphoma.
Procedure: Book pertaining to Dr. Williams was located. Pen was used to write the phrase "was spontaneously cured of cancer" on the last page.
Result: Dr. Williams showed immediate signs of recovery and better health.
Notes from Dr. Henricks: Lymphoma symptoms returned 7 months later.
Test Subject: Henry Adams, a fictional man whose life story was written into a book matching the style of those found within SCP-4001.
Procedure: Book pertaining to Henry Adams was collated, then inserted onto a shelf inside SCP-4001 pertaining to the expected location for his chosen birth
date. The book detailed an ordinary life, healthy constitution, complete lack of any connections to any historically, politically or culturally significant
figures, and culminated in a line explaining his appearance within SCP-4001.
Result: A semi-opaque red haired man appeared in SCP-4001, showing signs of disorientation. After 3 minutes, he curled into a ball and began rocking back and
forth, before vomiting blood. Meanwhile, the book placed into the shelf rapidly began adding lines, detailing multiple tumours, mass organ failure, and
instances of necrosis all across his body. Henry Adams died 110 seconds later, confirmed by the line in the book "died horribly, agonisingly, and justly from
his organs doing what they were always meant to".
24 hours after the book was added to the shelf, it disappeared, and has not been seen since.
Notes from Dr. Henricks: We are NOT trying that again. I am deeply wishing this place had its rules posted clearly, like every other damned library in the
world. Also, are the books mocking us?
Test Subject: D-0900, a healthy 22 year old male.
Procedure: Book pertaining to D-0900 was located. D-0900 was given a lethal dose of morphine, and expired after 45 minutes. Immediately upon the line "died
through cruel and unnecessary morphine poisoning" appearing in the book, the phrase "morphine disappeared from system, resulting in spontaneous
resuscitation" was written after it.
Result: D-0900 coughed violently, and regained consciousness. D-0900 was administered Class-B amnestics. No behavioural or physiological consequences were
noted, though D-0900 tested lower on cognitive tests after the experiment, possibly due to damage caused by anoxia to the brain.
Test Subject: D-0989, a 43 year old female killed in SCP- containment breach 3 days prior.
Procedure: Book pertaining to D-0989 was located. Pen was used to scribble out the line "fatally struck, torn in half, and crushed by rampaging monster".
(Line located on the last page of the book.)
Result: D-0989 reappeared immediately in D-class quarters. D-0989 did not respond to any questioning regarding their state of being or memories, nor did
application of Class-A amnestics result in any change in demeanour. D-0989 suffered from severe headaches for 8 days afterwards, and showed moderate
disorientation for a further 15 days before committing suicide. The only words spoken by D-0989 for the entirety of the time period were "send me back, let
me go."
Test Subject: Researcher Dr. Claire Williams, 33, suffering from second stage lymphoma.
Procedure: Book pertaining to Dr. Williams was located. Pen was used to write the phrase "was spontaneously and permanently cured of cancer and all other
diseases" on the last page.
Result: Dr. Williams showed immediate signs of recovery and better health.
Notes from Dr. Travers: Dr. Williams has remained in remarkably good health for 2 years, before mild lymphoma symptoms returned. She's going to need to keep
doing this, it seems.
Test Subject: D-0323, a 29 year old male killed in SCP- containment breach 28 days prior.
Procedure: Book pertaining to D-0323 was located. Pen was used to write the phrase "returned back to life" on the last page of the book.
Result: D-0323 reappeared immediately in D-class quarters, suffering from cerebral hemorrhaging. D-0323 died 13 minutes later, with such information being
confirmed within their book.
Test Subject: D-0310, a 36 year old male killed in an accident during routine construction duties 2 days prior.
Procedure: Book pertaining to D-0310 was located. Pen was used to write the phrase "returned back to life in full and proper health, free from all
infirmities physical, physiological and psychological" on the last page of the book.
Result: [REDACTED][18]
18. As a consequence of the damages sustained at Site-85 resulting from the experiment, Dr. Henricks was demoted and removed from duty at SCP-4001.
Overseer Note: As of ██/██/████, all testing related to the resurrection of the dead through any means is strictly forbidden. For all its potential, SCP-
4001 does not enable us to bring back the dead, though it can act potentially as a short term lifesaver, and a long term life extender if other options are
voided. Never forget that there's limits to just how much we can mess with chronology.

Addendum 4001.3: Cataloging Assistance System

Cataloging Assistance System
On / /19 , a team of researchers and engineers led by Dr. Abrams completed the development of a simple AI and two corresponding robotic bodies, with the
intention of compiling a complete record of the estimated 120 billion books within the archives, and making acquiring specific books from within the
collection easier. Dubbed "Marvin" and "Molly" by Dr. Travers, they were originally set to the task of compiling a database by scanning every name on every
book within the archives, a task they took a little over 12 years to complete[19]. Currently, "Molly" is permanently stationed adjacent to the Camp A
boundary, adding new names to the database as they appear. "Marvin" acts as an aide to staff, and if requested for a specific book, will locate and collect
the book for staff, usually within a few hours depending on the distance needing to be travelled. "Marvin" has had wings installed on his body and his
programming updated to enable flight at speeds of up to 250 km/h within SCP-4001 by flying above the shelves.
19. As well as collating data on every book, the Cataloging Assistance AI also located three skeletons (two human, one equine) deep within SCP-4001, some 38 kilometers past Camp C. Initial
teams seem to have missed the skeletons, presumably since they were located in the dark areas of shelving. Based upon clothing and analysis of their supplies, they entered SCP-4001 some time in
the fourth century BCE.
Note: On / /20 , staff discovered a book entitled "Marvin and Molly." After reading the book, the decision was made to temporarily remove the robots used
in the Cataloging Assistance System, whereupon the book disappeared 24 hours later. The robots were returned to SCP-4001 the next week, and the book
reappeared in its original position, containing the line "Marvin and Molly were returned to their true place of belonging, undoing the cruelty and
callousness of their departure". The decision has been made to designate "Marvin" and "Molly" SCP-4001-2 collectively.
Researcher Note: We're a tight little group down here in the dusk. It's not hard to get lost down here, it can get pretty lonely, and we rely on those two
more than we care to admit. They're very much considered a part of the team. My best guess is that Alexandria considers them honorary librarians of a sort.
You feel like they almost have personalities some days.

Addendum 4001.4: Incident 4001-F
Incident Report
On / / , [REDACTED] entered SCP-4001, and requested that "Marvin" collect a specific book for them. They had recieved appropriate clearance to enter
the site, but not to perform any experimental procedures. 7 hours later, 43 other Foundation staff suffered from nosebleeds, and complained afterwards of
severe headaches, prompting a response team to enter SCP-4001, whereupon [REDACTED] was found standing alone in the shelves, disoriented, with a nosebleed
and a book at their feet. They were escorted from the premises and detained for questioning. The book in question referred to one "Dr. Junifer Peters", the
contents detailing a number of successful missions within the Foundation and multiple promotions to the rank of [REDACTED], as well as a romance, falling
out, and eventually a spiteful rivalry with [REDACTED]. The first page of the book had been torn out.
An immediate attempt to repair the book was made using materials on hand (a needle and spool of thread). The attempt was temporarily successful- an
unidentified woman appeared spontaneously in Foundation headquarters, flickering in and out of visibility, and alternating between confusion and
disorientation, and screaming in panic. She disappeared completely after hours, and has not reappeared since.
After the event, Foundation records were searched. No documentation related to a Dr. Junifer Peters was found, nor could any Foundation staff recall ever
meeting her.
Researcher Note: A reminder that following incident SCP-4001-F, no non-archivist personnel, no matter how highly ranked, is permitted to be alone while in
the archives. All it takes is one nutjob to tear out one early page and all of human history breaks.

Addendum 4001.5:
On / / , clearance was granted by a vote of the 05-Council for an attempt to explore below the floor of SCP-4001. Carpet knives, axes and a jackhammer
were brought inside SCP-4001 under careful supervision of the archivists, and a patch of carpet measuring 1m x 1m was cut from the floor near Base Camp. The
carpet was raised without difficulty, revealing a concrete floor covered in a layer of ash.
Under the advice of Archive Manager Lincoln Abrams, the ash was sampled, the carpet was replaced, and the exploration attempt was aborted.
Subsequent carbon dating of the ash suggests it to be between 70,000 and 80,000 years old, and spectrometric analysis of the ash suggests it resulted from
the burning of wood and paper. Further testing performed at randomly selected locations within SCP-4001 suggest that the ash is located beneath most, if not
all, of the flooring of SCP-4001. No records within Foundation archives or SCP-4001 itself describe a major combustion event within SCP-4001.
Researcher Note: I've spent more than half my life down here in these shelves and will likely spend the rest of it in here as well, as did my dozen-or-so
predecessors. I've always been aware that within here lies both potentially the greatest tool for the Foundation's success, and the greatest weapon for the
destruction of humanity, as has everyone else who has stepped into these hallowed halls.
Old libraries tend to develop personalities of a sort. Inviting and cozy, majestic and regal, aged and dusty; you must know of what I speak. This one,
though, is unique. It has power, and it doesn't let you forget that. It permits us to fiddle with some of its rules, while harshly reminding us when we
step out of line. Anyone who reads any of these magnificent volumes can't help but realise that the Library has a personality of its own, and passes its
own judgments upon the actions of those whose lives are interred within.
Waylon, after you went and did all of those experiments, where you pulled those books from their shelves and wrote all over them to mess with the lives of
those beneath you, I went and had a look at your book. I saw what the Library wrote about your actions. I saw how it expressed its disdain for your
attempts to play God, to rewrite reality to our will. I saw its disgust for all of your sins. Yes Waylon, I now know every dirty little thing you've done,
but more importantly, so does this place. It considers you arrogant, and it looks down upon you, with far more disdain than I could ever muster.
Yes, I've read my own book too. And Avon's. And the book of nearly everyone who has worked down here. On the whole, I consider the plentiful judgment
levied upon myself and the rest of us fair. The Library judges not just actions, but intentions, and it knows intimately how much the rest of us care for
it, and how much we've tried to ensure it isn't abused.
Never forget that this place is permitting us to be here, and never forget to respect it. Lest Alexandria could doom us all.
-Dr. Lincoln Abrams, Archive Manager, Watcher of Alexandria Eternal
Footnotes
1. As a last resort, detonating the charges would flood and seal the tunnel with molten iron, severely delaying access to SCP-4001 and allowing response
teams time to assault and recapture the location. In extreme cases, the load of iron would also serve to protect SCP-4001 from damage if a nuclear
detonation over the location becomes a tactical necessity. ↖
2. Titanium/tungsten security doors have since been constructed within the antechamber. ↖
3. Attempts to dig into SCP-4001 from outside have resulted in digging past its expected location, indicating that SCP-4001 exists within an extra-
dimensional space. The tower itself terminates 12 metres above the ground, rather than appearing to connect to any roof. ↖
4. While SCP-4001 lacks a roof and has plentiful space above the shelves, the non-Euclidian geometry means that it is impossible to ascend to a height
greater than 25 meters above the floor, with further attempts to increase in altitude resulting in remaining at the same height. ↖
5. The repetitive nature of the geography means it can be easy to lose one's location within SCP-4001. The only otherwise distinct structure within SCP-
4001 is the tower from which the stair descends. ↖
6. New shelves appear at an approximate rate of one every 16 hours, with several new books appearing each second. ↖
7. This includes human-born SCP instances, though no book pertaining to a non-human being has yet been located, with the exception of SCP-4001-2. ↖
8. The exact dimensions of every book, regardless of number of pages, is 12 cm x 20 cm x 2 cm. ↖
9. Each bookshelf is double sided, each side holding 8 rows of 5,000 books, for a total of 80,000 books per shelf. SCP-4001 stores three shelves in a
line before returning to the same point, thus keeping some 240,000 books per walkway. At 2.5 meters from one walkway to the next, one thus passes
almost one million books for every 10 meters one walks along SCP-4001, or 100 million per kilometer. At last estimate, SCP-4001 is well over 1000
kilometers in length. ↖
10. The individual referred to himself as the 'Watcher of Alexandria Eternal'. ↖
11. It is highly recommended that any attempts to foray within SCP-4001 are done by bicycle, with supplies of food, water, and backup sources of
electricity, though the ambient temperature and lack of humidity means that heat sources are unnecessary. ↖
12. Due to the continuous expansion of shelves into the intervening space, these values are steadily increasing ↖
13. If walking 'forward' from Base Camp to G, the distance is approximately 200 km. ↖
14. None of the books contain reference to dates, with very few referencing named locations, making identification of specific locations or time periods
difficult. ↖
15. Around 75,000 BC, the Toba Supervolcano in Indonesia erupted, with severe impacts on global climate. The theory states that this had a catastrophic
impact on the burgeoning proto-human population. Genetic analyses suggest the human population fell as low as 5000 breeding individuals in the few
millennia following the eruption, with modern humanity showing unusually low genetic diversity as a consequence. No other possible cause for the
bottleneck has been identified. ↖
16. Archive Manager Abrams explicitly forbade the use of SCP-4001 to terminate life after this test. Dr. Henricks was admonished and disciplined, and
required to submit all experimentation methodology to approval before continuing experimentation. ↖
17. The Schmidt-Luhrmann effect is the tendency of retrocausally altered timelines to replicate events from the original timeline far more closely than
would otherwise be expected under the Butterfly effect, presumably to avoid catastrophic chronological paradoxes. ↖
18. As a consequence of the damages sustained at Site-85 resulting from the experiment, Dr. Henricks was demoted and removed from duty at SCP-4001. ↖
19. As well as collating data on every book, the Cataloging Assistance AI also located three skeletons (two human, one equine) deep within SCP-4001, some
38 kilometers past Camp C. Initial teams seem to have missed the skeletons, presumably since they were located in the dark areas of shelving. Based
upon clothing and analysis of their supplies, they entered SCP-4001 some time in the fourth century BCE. ↖

I need time. How urgent is this?

NOTIFICATION

Very.

I see. I accept.
Task Information
You will be conducting a research with the goal of establishing a timeline of documented history as complete as possible
including anomalous events. For this purpose the entirety of Foundation database will be unlocked to you with exceptions of
files that have already been ruled out as unrelated and/or possibly cognitohazardous. Database slot 001 will be locked until
you ask for a permission. I suggest you already have the basics by then as it may complicate things a little.
Have in mind that some information you may find is to be kept in absolute secrecy even after the conclusion of this project.
You were selected because of your abilities, not uniqueness.
As a personal note, some of the things we keep confidential may seem too far-fetched or impossible to be true. Keep in mind
that our world is always more bizarre than you would think and do not get startled.
Best of luck.
Notes on Project - Part One Close
Day 1
This is Researcher Madeleine Sailer from Site-91, conducting a secret research for Someone important? Better not to ask, it's
someone with much higher clearance than I am. This is day one of my investigating, or paperwork, actually A lot of paperwork. But I
don't mind, that is why they picked me. Right?
So, the timeline. I should start with the basic events on the timeline, like the beginning of universe and its presumable end. A
beginning and an end. Now let's add today. Then I will add the approximate time when Earth was formed and life began. Hm I hope I
won't have to focus on these points that much, my speciality are years with four digits. Fine And now humans. Let's see, this is
already looking good. Then again, it will most definitely get worse.
Great, I have the basic setup. Now let's dig into the database.
Day 2
I didn't sleep, just restarting this recording so it has the proper day on it. I must have gone through, what, like, over one
hundred SCP files? Well, just 50 really, I just quickly seen the rest. Anyway, never knew the Foundation had this many things. I
mean, I did, but I never thought about it. Some of it even made me laugh, I know these things are real and dangerous but, no, no
buts, the infinite pizza box just made me laugh.
This is bad, I am on day two and I am already seeing that this is impossible. The Foundation database of just SCPs is over four
thousands at this point, not even accounting for all the important incidents, events and all the things labeled "Information
Exchange - GOC". Good to know the Foundation keeps friendly relations so I can have more paperwork.
But for now, I am doing good, most of these things are just dates. As fascinating, or terrifying as they are, it is just data. I
must focus on that, otherwise I will be stuck here forever.
Day 5
So I have found a problem. The years do not match up. Not all of them at least, but hey, if one year doesn't fit, how can I be sure
about the rest? Maybe it's a mistake, someone meant to write nineteenth century instead of twentieth. Maybe. Or, it could be the
first reality shift I encountered. I heard that it could be a thing, of course, I never got an official statement but I should ask
someone about this, because if I rule out that possibility, everything will get easier.
Day 7
A response finally came. It is a reality shift and apparently just one of many. How do they even expect me to accomplish something
like this? It is not possible, not even with the best equipment in the world, which I have. This machine does a better job than I
do, why does it even need me, it would surely be easier to make it automated
Fine, keep it together Mady, this is just paperwork. Difficult, yes, but paperwork. You cannot start falling apart now, it has been
a week, not 5 years. Speaking of which, poor Dr. Scranton, I just read what happened. Something tells me this is just the beginning.
Day 10
Dr. Scranton. Dr. Scranton Why are you doing this to me? Born on September 19th, 1961, found dead on December 23rd, 2005. So how
did you invent your Reality Anchor in 1889? Are there more of you? Your relative, perhaps? Or is it another reality shift? If so,
there is some great irony in that. The great creator of reality anchors, he could save others from reality benders but not himself.
Day 11
Come to think about this, I should have set another date in the beginning. The founding of our Foundation. How did I miss that?
Alright. After some more digging, I found out something that scares me. And it is the fact that this simple question will be harder
to answer than the occult war from, what, two days ago?
So apparently, most of the data regarding the Foundations origins is locked in with slot 001 Which I am not supposed to open until
I know what I'm doing. Great. Well, let's review the info I have. The Foundation civil war and the consequent creation of the Chaos
Insurgency happened around 1924 or so and continued until 1933, so the Foundation must have already existed for some time at that
point, some documents even say that Foundation, or something very similar existed since the Medieval ages, or even before. What am I
doing? I should just ask for the permission to see 001 but I don't feel like I used up all I can get for now.
Day 17
Should I even ask about SCP-1000? SCP-2000? It seems like the deeper I go, the worse this entire thing is. So what, am I to believe
now that our dating and years are completely wrong because of that goddamn machine in Yellowstone? Or even better, that we weren't
even first here? Can you even imagine what that did to the entire timeline I had? Why am I talking to a recorder?!
Day 18
It's alright. I can do this, I already went through 9% of the database. I am not going by numbers, because I was told that the SCPs
are not organized in any order, so I'm picking one thing by another, how I feel like it, making holes in the giant pile I need to
take apart, catalog and put in order. Ironically, the first reality bending thing I came to like is SCP-140. The book rewrites
history sure, but at least it writes down how.
Day 21
Three weeks. I should get a pause. I didn't speak with Chris in a while Or any other staff really. I just get myself something to
eat and drink, which is usually coffee and I go back to this place.
Let's see, what do we have here SCP-999 appears to be a large, amorphous, gelatinous mass of translucent orange slime What? How
many large, amorphous, gelatinous masses do we have? I swear that this is the fifth one this week. These are almost as bad as
statues that move when you are not looking at them
Day 23
Ok, fuck it, I am taking a break. My back hurts from sitting at the computer. Still, I have more than one tenth of the thing behind
me, that feels like an achievement. Maybe it can be done If I don't read the entire thing and the extended experiment logs, maybe.
Day 30
Alright, I am back, I might have angered a certain Overseer by trying to communicate with staff. But hey, nobody came to punish me.
I'm not dumb, I didn't say a word, in fact, everything was doing great and no one even asked what I have been doing for the past
month. So yeah, better go back to work. Next on the list is SCP-106
Day 42
Did you know that there was magic in all of this? Actual magic! They call it thaumatology, sounds like magic to me. Why are we not
supposed to know about magic? I mean, it sounds kinda useful and apparently the GOC uses it, why can't we?
Day 50
I think I might need another break, this is getting very tiring. I have went through enough SCPs to create my own Foundation. No, I
am not having any ideas
Day 51
I hate myself. Why can't I be more cooperative. Goddamnit, I just want to say it in third person, is it that hard? What a stupid
cognitohazard I am.
Day 60
Mission report: Two months have passed, slowly reaching 20%. I am starting to appreciate the Random SCP button.
Day 63
Wait the GOC did what? A chair? They put the chair into a woodchipper? Am I getting this right? That is hilarious! Hahaha
I mean It is horrible that we have to contain this anomaly now

*quiet laughter*
Day 70
Just read about SCP-2399. I will never see Jupiter the same way again. Strangely enough though, I think that I have experienced a
reality shift myself! Or I think so at least. I will have to check again but I specifically remember setting a date 10,000 years
from now for arrival of some angry star and now I can't find it. Might just be overworking.
Day 76
And that concludes Omega-7, shame what happened. Actually, shame someone even approved of such thing
I am slowly starting to realise that all the things that do not match up with the rest are piling up. I need some help with that but
I still think that the best call is to wait a little longer before I get to slot number one.
Day 89
It's nice knowing that we have an alien Deer god contained by castrating people. Gross. And I actually think that is not even the
worst thing I read about. Where was it? Wait a second, I will find it Fuck, this is too much, who is supposed to remember all these
numbers? Anyway, the point is I had to put my morality away almost a month ago. You cannot read about Procedure Something-Montauk?
Was it? Yeah, you cannot read about it with moral barriers. I am here to do my work, not join the Ethics Committee, which by the
way, depending on individual cases, does either a very poor or excellent job. Strange.
Day 100
Call me an idiot but I feel like now is the time. I have 32.1% of the Foundation's database sorted and established. The timeline is
looking kinda decent when you remove all the contradictory bullshit. Problem is, this stuff keeps on coming. At first it was funny
but I do not want to see any more time travel Thaumiels in my life. I was honestly thinking about quitting this project but I know
that wouldn't be taken well. Besides, something in me is really curious about the thing that deserved the designation of 001.
So today is the day. I just asked for permission and I hope that what I find there fixes the mess instead of going on the pile.
Notes on Project - Part Two Close
Day 105
I finally got a response. SCP-001 slot is unlocked. All cognitohazards and memetic agents were removed to ensure I won't die the
moment I open the file. And still, when I did Was there ever a day, when the Foundation personnel could say that nothing happened?
Is it just me, or is everything everywhere?
How are there over twenty 001 Proposals?
Day 106
Alright. Things are not getting easier. I can see now that this will take a while. First I have to determine which 001 is the right
one, it shouldn't be that hard. I have the entire database at my disposal, I can just check the data and see which one fits the
best.
Day 107
None of them fit. Every single 001 is contradictory to the others yet neither of them fit the overall narrative. And yes. I am
beginning to question my own sanity at this point. How can I even tell what is real? S. Andrew Swann's Proposal was hard to accept
but I will admit that the more I am looking at everything around me, the more I start seeing the resemblance and I can now tell from
my own experience, that looking on more than a couple of anomalies at once makes one go insane. However, this is not an attempt on
explaining these things. I am just trying to see the bigger picture Just bigger picture.
Day 108
On the other hand, there is The Broken God, which I can work with. There is plenty of dates and documentation to make it look
believable, so for now, I count that one as my 001. And no, I am not questioning how these things could even exist at this point. I
will see about the others.
Day 111
Come to think about it, Kate McTiriss did a good job on Mary Nakayama's story. And it is by far the best one for humanity. I
actually hope that one is correct.
Day 115
Fuck, my work has been stagnating for the past two weeks or so. I just cannot get my head around these things. I could take Clef's
Guardian as the real one but that crosses out the existence of Mann's, Bright's, Mackenzie's and Scrantron's versions. Yet if you
cross out the possibility, what gives you the right to take that one as true in the first place?
And don't even get me started on the "future" 001s. S.D. Locke's proposal sounds neat but if I count correctly, requires at least
two major reality shifts to be possible with our actual timeline, that is if my timeline is correctly built.
Day 116
I need a break.
Day 125
Had to clear my head. I didn't make almost any progress in a month at this point. Going back to more friendly parts of the database.
I'll report back when I find something.
Day 150
It has been a month of very hard work on my part. I am almost 50% there. Timeline so far not so good. Don't get me wrong, I am
proud of my line here, it's just that It feels incomplete. I read about so many unbelievable anomalies at this point, that a giant
indestructible lizard just doesn't do it for me. The timeline needs to be completed and all I can do is stare at this pile of
reality bending anomalies, time travel machines and impossible origin stories.
How can I continue this? Is this how Researcher Talloran suffered? The file was very weird and fuzzy but I was kinda intrigued by
it.
Day 158
I went through most of Foundation's database and just now do I hear about Dr. Kondraki? This man worked for us?! Why doesn't he work
for us anymore?
Just found out what happened, I get it now. Still, the entire Site-19? My boss would give that guy a kiss.
Day 170
It took me a while but I managed to fit SCP-055 into the timeline. Took me a while because I had to put it into a special space on
the line and I constantly kept forgetting about it.
Day 171
I can't find yesterday's log and SCP-055 is in the sorted pile, even though I didn't read it yet. Weird
Day 173
I had enough of SCP files, now I'm reading about Groups of Interests. Dr. Wondertainment? Reminds me of Willy Wonka. Great, now I
can't get that thought out of my head. Still better than the Black Queen. The idea that there are infinite universes of anomalies
that I have to go through gave me nightmares.
Day 180
I am kinda missing my friends. Sure we gossip when I go to the cafeteria, I even talked with Chris, my boss. He asked how was my
project doing. He is about the only person who knows that I am doing something in secret and even he has no idea what exactly.
Day 186
Are We Cool Yet? No, you are not. I hate this anartist group, I have seen far too many of their anomalies in Site-91. You can at
least sympathize with regular anartists, those really just make art. There is a difference between anartist and anarchist.
Day 197
Somehow, I am on 61% now. No idea how, I could swear it showed 58% yesterday.
Day 200
I have it. I know how to deal with the conflicting shit! The reality bends, I know how to deal with them. I never actually checked
if everything in the database actually existed. Now this might sound crazy but hey, I am not the person who said we are living in a
universe that obeys the laws of fiction. So if we do take into account the fact that our universe is affected by a bunch of horror
writers, or a narrative or anyone who is writing me saying these words right now, then the only result we can get is that the
timeline is not finished. No one else has ever tried this, or they did and failed.
Our universe doesn't make sense, because it is not supposed to. In this case we should just embrace the chaos. In other words, I
will create multiple timelines and categorize everything so that none of the new timelines contradict themselves but contradict each
other.
Now I just need to find the starting and ending points of these timelines, points where reality collapsed, and build a continuing
line
Notes on Project - Part Three Close
Day 201
This is weird. I could have sworn that there was more. Is this it? 120 SCPs left? How many did I go through? 2984? No, no, no, no.
There were more. There were definitely more! See. My timeline has My time line There it is But There is . There is only one
line.
Day 202
What is happening? I went outside my office and apparently, we no longer have a cafeteria on Site-91. Because this is Site-13. I
have read through way too much to ignore this. This is reality reconstruction. CK-Class Scenario. But why? And how do I know?
Shouldn't my perception change with the shift?
Day 203
Ok. So my timeline is almost finished, since around 1500 files just stopped existing, both the sorted and unsorted ones. I haven't
worked on it since this started and I am not willing to continue until I find out what caused this. And I am not ruling out the
possibility, that my work caused this.
Day 205
I am not experiencing any sign of memory alteration, which means that I must be somehow immune to this shift, that only supports my
theory of me causing this. But how? Is it because I am completing my work? Does the knowledge of timeline somehow affect reality?
Day 210
It does. I checked the data. The hateful star disappeared first, when I was around 23%, I cannot say if this was a coincidence, or
the beginning of a reality shift. Then SCP-231-7, she disappeared around 32% but I didn't notice until I checked the data. After
this a couple more must have disappeared because there are inconsistencies in data around the time I reach 50%, which was the time
when I was too busy dealing with 001.
Speaking of 001, there are only 8 proposals left.
Day 211
This is bad. If my calculations are correct, only 43% of the database remains now and 90% of it has already been sorted.
Day 215
No! Why? I am not doing anything! I left the database alone! Why do they keep on disappearing!
Day 216
We are no longer Site-13, but Site-3. Reality is slowly shifting to fit in with the current database. There are less SCPs, so the
Foundation is smaller, in fact, I believe that we no longer have an O5 Council, there is just this one guy called the Administrator.
Yesterday we lost SCP-682 so that is good news. Looks like the GOC in this reality was disbanded with the fall of Communism and the
Foundation is now just as well funded as the UIU in my reality used to be. Perfect.
Day 230
A month. I am still thinking. Luckily, no one is questioning me. Seems like even with all the reality bending around, I am a
researcher working on a secret project. Good, last thing I need is to be classified as an SCP by the very Foundation that made me
cause this mess.
Day 233
Still no clue on what to do. Around 25% of the old Foundation remains and around 80% of that is sorted. The recession is getting
faster. Maybe I should unsort it? No. If anything, that might make the reality bends more violent and unpredictable. I need to find
a way to fix this.
Day 240
The Foundation never existed. We are a building now, somewhere on the east coast of USA. This entire place is so sad. As far as I
can tell, we are housing maybe 20 SCPs? We do not even call them that anymore. I am trying my best to play the role I was given.
Apparently I am a member of a team of 10 researchers that study rare anomalies. I am pretty scared of what I am going to find
tomorrow.
Day 245
Twelve SCPs. Still ten researchers.
Day 248
Five SCPs. Five researchers, each of us got one SCP to study. I got number 3 or as I know it, SCP-173. It is not so scary anymore,
it moves very slowly now, it can still kill you though. Better watch out.
Day 250
Four SCPs. Three researchers. We are left with SCP-173, some window that shows other places, the book of diseases and well, me.
Day 251
The book disappeared. One of us with it. We are no longer an organization, rather a small group of people who apparently got
together on the internet.
Day 252
The window is gone. I am alone now. Alone with the stupid statue. I am afraid.
Day 253
I woke up and the statue was still there. It stopped moving. I figured that this is it. I am the last anomaly in history and no one
will ever know. This world is so much different from mine. No anomalies, nothing paranormal. No fear, no wonder.
Day 254
I woke up this morning and The statue was gone. My office, now my apartment, feels empty.
Day 255
Is there any point in trying anymore? I can't reverse it. The database doesn't even show 0%. It doesn't show anything because it is
gone. The entire thing. My notes, the paperwork It is gone!
Day 260
I am contemplating my fate now. Many people in my Foundation would give anything to see the world around me. To see a world where
everything is in order, where everything makes sense and the things that don't can be explained as science progresses.
Day 276
I have tried living normally. I can't do it. Madeleine Sailer, a car saleswoman, an entrepreneur, a scientist an artist A GODDAMN
RESEARCHER FOR A SECRET ORGANIZATION PROTECTING HUMANITY!
Day 278
I was browsing the internet today. I found a bunch of articles about cryptozoology, myths and legends, UFOs, that kinda stuff It
entertained me for a while, pointing out the flaws about those things, talking to myself about how a real anomaly would behave.
I need help
Day 284
I found myself a psychiatrist. Told them about the Foundation, the reality shift, the fact that I am the only person who knows She
was kind enough to listen to me but she gave me the same thing as anyone else in this world would. She told me to come again and
gave me some pills If only they could heal anything.
Day 290
I found it! I can't believe it is still here! I was browsing the internet forums, art conventions, cryptozoology, weird photographs,
everything And there it was. Clear as day. A picture of SCP-173, standing by a concrete wall. I had to have it. I downloaded the
picture. I have evidence. I am not crazy!
Day 300
My psychiatrist called. Demanded that I come again. I agreed, with the picture, she will have to believe me.
Day 310
I am crazy? How can she say that! I am not the one living in a world that is an illusion
Day 330
It's ok 173, they don't believe us but we know. We know that the Foundation was. What is it? Crunch? You always liked that sound
didn't you
Anyway, I know I sound crazy. I just need to vent it out. I'm ok.
Day 334
Item number, SCP-173, Object Class, Euclid, Special Containment Procedures, Item SCP-173 is to be kept in a 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.
Day 341
I decided to tell people about the Foundation. They must know. If none of it exists anymore, why not just tell people? I am sure
those two guys on the cryptozoology forum would love to hear about it.
Day 346
Just finished my post on forum. I posted the containment procedures for SCP-173 with the picture I got. I might have made the file a
little smaller. I just included the shit I remember, hope someone finds it interesting.
Day 350
Just looked at the forum post. They like it! They are even creating their own SCPs! I love it. i am so excited, this is the first
time in a long while that I feel normal. I feel just like in the old days.
Day 355
They are making a community. This is awesome. I want to join them but I cannot bring myself to it. What if I do something wrong,
what if they think I am crazy and reject me and the idea? I better just watch.
Day 360
I hate myself I just realised. I I am an actual idiot. A bunch of horror writers
Day 365
I was trying to reach them for five days now. Looks like they are planning something because they are not responding much. Today it
is one year since I started making that stupid timeline. This morning a year ago, I came into my office, I logged into my account
and I accepted that fucking project
*sobs*
But maybe Maybe if I manage to somehow change the narrative. If I get these writers to write Then maybe If I'm not getting crazy
Please. This has to work
Day 366
Yes! They responded. I'm in. Now if only I could figure out how to use this goddamn site to write.
a new message? ..

Good morning Researcher Sailer,
I have a proposition for you. You have been selected as a single individual for Project Kronos, an attempt to establish a complete
chronological timeline. You can choose to decline but by accepting you are agreeing to complete confidentiality of the project and
as a precaution, complete isolation from the rest of Internal Foundation Communication, excluding this account and the Director of
Site-91. Estimated time required for this project is one year. Additional information will be available after accepting.
Please reply as soon as possible.

NOTIFICATION

I need time. How urgent is this?
Reply

Very.
NOTIFICATION

I see. I accept.
Notes on Project - Part Four Close
Day 366
I made it! My crazy science made it. The only part of the universe that was still chaotic managed to turn the sides back without any
logic to it. By writing myself I caused a paradox in which all the anomalous bullshit started existing again. I cannot explain how.
I literally can't because that is what holds the universe together now. My tiny illogical paradox in a sea of order. Is this what it
feels like to be a reality bender? I'm not one of them but I imagine this is it.
Alright Mady focus. I am back now. I need to shut it all down. To shut everything down, no database sorting, no timeline creation.
The universe needs to be chaotic, otherwise none of the anomalies would exist. It demands to be broken. That's how I'll write it
there
Item #: SCP-4010
Object Class: Keter
Threat Level: Red
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4010 is not to be acted out in any circumstances. Any information regarding the results of Project
Kronos are to be destroyed by means deemed necessary.
Description: SCP-4010 is an act of establishing the timeline of our universe, while accounting for every shift in reality and every
temporal change documented. If enacted, SCP-4010 will cause major changes to global reality. Full extent of such changes is unknown.
SCP-4010 was first discovered during Project Kronos, an attempt to establish a chronological timeline of history. Project lasted one
year and possibly resulted in a CK-Class Scenario. Information about Project Kronos was destroyed, lost, or terminated alongside
Researcher Madeleine Sailer.
Note: To those this may concern,

Our universe is a very complex place, our history is very chaotic, which often blocks us from understanding the unknown of the
present. Yet we still strive to understand, to explain. For all our history, we have been exploring the unknown and researching all
that we found.
The universal forces of order and chaos are a concept that you should be familiar with. We are the order, the things we know, we
understand. The Chaos is something unknown, something we wish to understand. We fear it and that fear pushes us forward.
SCP-4010 is an act of creating order out of chaos. Our universe runs on chaos just like cars do on gasoline. So try not to burn all
of it, try not to fix it, otherwise we can all face the actual end very soon. It demands to be broken.
Please trust me when I say that looking back at history to see what you can make out of it is a bad idea. Constructing a timeline is
a bad idea. Understanding, explaining everything that happened is a bad idea. I tried. And I succeeded.
-Researcher Sailer, Site-91

Day 367
I dismantled everything. Erased all the data. Burned all the physical evidence of the Project. All that remains Is this recorder
and me.

Original Version
SCP-4022
Item #: SCP-4022
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4022 is contained in a standard humanoid containment chamber at Site- . SCP-4022 is not to be
permitted access to psychiatric care. Personnel are not permitted to discuss the mental state of SCP-4022, verbally or otherwise.
Description: SCP-4022 is a 60-year-old Asian-American man, formerly known as . SCP-4022 exhibits symptoms of severe dementia.
Further information about SCP-4022 should not be provided to individuals without 4-4022 clearance.
Recovery: SCP-4022 was recovered after an incident at Hospital in , California, during which a doctor fell
comatose after composing a psychological report about SCP-4022. Three more doctors fell comatose before Foundation operatives were
able to intercept and recover SCP-4022.
CLEARANCE REQUIRED --
INFOHAZARD WARNING
Further information about SCP-4022 is restricted to personnel who have received the appropriate battery of memetic inoculations.
There's a great big nothing in the middle of his head. By continuing to read this page, you are agreeing to submit to psychological
screenings under the SAFEGUARD protocol. Any personnel reporting decreases in pattern recognition are to report to on-site
counseling staff.
There's a great big nothing in the middle of his head. Any description of the great big nothing in the middle of his head that does
not refer to it exclusively as such is a Class III infohazard.
When an individual is made aware of the great big nothing in the middle of his head by any means that does not use the acceptable
designation, that individual becomes a host of the great big nothing in the middle of his head. Symptoms of the great big nothing in
the middle of his head progress as follows.
Stage 1: Affected subjects experience a marked decrease in pattern recognition.

Stage 2: Affected subjects experience a marked decrease in ability to perceive patterns, even when they are not recognized as
such. Ordered sequences of numbers, letters, shapes, or colors have been described as "blurry" and "translucent". These effects
appear to be mitigated when the patterns are in motion, or when the patterns make reference to the great big nothing in the
middle of his head.
Stage 3: Affected subjects lose all ability to recognize, construct, or perceive patterns, including ones that make reference
to the great big nothing in the middle of his head. Affected subjects lose the ability to speak coherently, read, and write.
Motion is significantly inhibited.
Stage 4: Affected subjects enter a comatose state before expiring shortly after.
Neurological imaging of affected subjects reveals a great big nothing in the middle of his head. Images of the brains of all subjects,
including SCP-4022, are considered Class III cognitohazards and are only to be handled by SAFEGUARD's on-site digital imaging
software.
It is theorized that the great big nothing in the middle of his head is a Class II antimemetic infohazard capable of residing within
and consuming human consciousnesses. SCP-4022's resistance to its effects is thought to be caused by its dementia, which prevents it
from forming coherent patterns of speech or thought. It is also theorized that referring to the great big nothing in the middle of his
head as such prevents it from being understood by the speaker as a formally extant entity, thereby mitigating its cognitohazardous
effects. The convention of referring to the great big nothing in the middle of his head as such has been standardized to prevent
accidental contamination.

SCP-4187
Bu(r)g(er) King
By: Popsioak
Rating: 43
Wilson Score: 0.64
Original Version
SCP-4187-1 and -2.
Item #: SCP-4187
Special Containment Procedures: All roads leading to SCP-4187 are to be diverted away. SCP-4187-1 is to be fed 3 adult heifers daily,
and SCP-4187-2 is to be monitored daily for food expulsion.
Description: SCP-4187 refers to a Burger King restaurant located in , Missouri, a town with a former population of 1,287. SCP-
4187 consists of 2 symbiotic entities, hereafter referred to as SCP-4187-1 and SCP-4187-2.
SCP-4187-1 is a hostile, nocturnal entity that resembles a Burger King roadside sign. SCP-4187-1 is capable of movement through
spontaneous spatial displacement. Nightly, SCP-4187-1 disappears and reappears in front of the closest living mammal to it. It then
extends a thin, vascular appendage from the blue circle of the sign, which it uses to puncture the victim's brain, placing it in a
vegetative state. The appendage then exsanguinates the prey, before using it to constrict the victim, and oftentimes its surroundings.
SCP-4187-1 lifts its victim up and places it in a set of jaws that extends from the two "buns" on the sign. SCP-4187-1 then devours
the victim, before wiping its "jaws" with the appendage, releasing a noise measuring at 110 decibels. After feeding, it reappears at
its previous spot outside SCP-4187-2, before returning to an inactive state, akin to a standard Burger King roadside sign.
SCP-4187-2 is the designation of the restaurant building itself. A customer can order at a "Self Serve Kiosk" inside, and the ordered
food is released from a chute titled "Whopper Popper." The released foods bear a resemblance to common Burger King menu items, such as
Whoppers, chicken nuggets, or chicken club salads. However, these items are comprised entirely of the diet of SCP-4187-1.
Exploration of SCP-4187 is indefinitely postponed following Incident A-2.

Document 1: Testing Log
Date: 07/10/2034
Items Produced: 1 Angry Whopper, 1 medium sized French fry box, and one medium drink.
Composition: The patty of the burger consisted of chicken meat. The box of French fries contains inedible fries composed of hen
femurs, and the drink is the liquified gastrointestinal tract of a common rooster.
Date: 08/10/2034
Items Produced: 1 BK Quad Stacker burger. The burger was discontinued nearly 25 years prior to the testing date.
Composition: The burger patty was a mix of mutton and chicken breast meat. The burger buns consisted of dog meat.
Date: 09/10/2034
Items Produced: 1 package of onion rings.
Composition: The rings were fried ribs of a common domestic dog.
Date: 10/10/2034
Items Produced: 1 chicken club salad.
Composition: The "meat" of the salad was beef. The lettuce consisted of thin sheets of keratin, while the sauce was coagulated milk.
Date: 11/10/2034
Items Produced: 1 medium drink, 1 medium package of fries.
Composition:Trace remains of clothing were found floating in the cup. Scraps read "D-ddy's —-tle bo-." The fries were consistent
with plastic used in children's outdoor toys.
Note: Due to the ambiguous nature of how SCP-4187-1 and -2 were able to transmit prey from SCP-4187-1 to -2, an unmanned drone armed
with a mechanical arm, knife, and flashlight were sent in. An abridged video log is attached below.
Exploration A-1. INPUT SECURITY CREDENTIALS LEVEL ACCEPTED: DISPLAYING LOG
<BEGIN ABRIDGED LOG>

The drone approaches SCP-4187-2 during daylight, at 6:30 in the morning. Utilizing its arm, it opens the door. To the left of the main
entrance is a double door labelled “Employees Only.” The counter is covered by a large metal panel, out of which sticks the “Self
Serve Kiosk.” Flying over to the counter, it taps in an order for 1 Whopper with fries at the kiosk. Approximately 5 minutes later,
the “Whopper Popper” releases a takeout bag.
The drone retrieves it, and cuts away a sample of both items for lab analysis at Command. It then returns the items to the Popper. The
drone is then maneuvered through the double doors, opening to a tunnel with no end in sight.
The drone continues through the tunnel for approximately 5 hours. During this time, the tunnel appears to lead sharply downwards. The
Whopper Popper’s tube continues down the tunnel, as a large white tube at the top of the tunnel. Small white tubes network off the
tube, downwards into the floor. After this time, 2 large doors are at the end of the tunnel, labelled “Kitchen.” The doors are pink,
and appear to only open one way. The drone is unable to enter without damaging its rotors. It uses its knife to slice open a section
of the doors, then flies through after approximately 10 minutes of struggling.
Machine located at the back of the kitchen. Of note is the rundown nature of the
pipework.
As it does so, it flies directly into a kitchen. The kitchen appears old and abandoned, with meat and other animal byproducts feeding
into a large white tank. The tank produces a grinding noise, and expels a Burger King takeout bag of a hopper on its rear side. The
drone cuts out a sample of the salad inside, until a loud rattling noise is heard.
The drone’s camera captures fries interweaving in the space that it cut out of the wall. Tomatoes and an unidentified red liquid are
seen streaming out of the hole. The drone collects a section of the fries, before it flies out of the hole, as the fries finish
patching, with the location of the cut returning to normal. The drone continues on its way back up the tunnel, until it is retrieved
by Foundation personnel. Description of samples collected are attached below.
Collected Sample Notes

Whopper "meat" Tenderness was consistent with human meat.
3 fries Consisted of deep-fried human phalanges of the hand.
A leaf of lettuce and piece of chicken The lettuce consisted of layers of human cuticle. The piece of chicken was comprised
from a club salad. entirely of keratin.
Section of kitchen door. The door consists of beef, behaving as epithelial acid-resistant tissue.
The fries are consistent with Burger King fries, but are animate, behaving similar to
Fries
eukaryotic haemoglobic thrombocytes.
Note: Due to the nature of recent orders produced by SCP-4187-2, as well as the evidence retrieved by the Foundation drone, a force of
4 Foundation agents, watched by 1 command post, were ordered to explore the restaurant to report on its transport system between SCP-
4187-1 and SCP-4187-2. An abridged transcription of the video log recorded by Scion-4's bodycam can be found below.
Exploration A-2. INPUT SECURITY CREDENTIALS LEVEL ACCEPTED: DISPLAYING LOG
Team Details: MTF Scion-12 (Deep Fryers)
Sci-1: Edward Brathel, demolitions expert.
Sci-2: Alfred Willis, chemist.
Sci-3: Pedro Ruiz, medic.
Sci-4: Jim Myers, team lead.
<START ABRIDGED LOG>
[05:21] Sci-4: Alright, equipment check. Cam's up and running. Radio's going. Flares ready. Weapons check?
[05:22] Sci-3: All clear for me, Jimbo.
[05:22] Sci-1: Same here.
[05:25] Sci-2: Seems like everyone's fine, Sci-4.
[05:28] Sci-4: Scion-4 to base. Do you read?
[05:30] Command: Loud and clear, commish. Proceed.
(The group enters the restaurant with 4 at the rear. Upon entrance, a mechanical pumping and grinding can be heard from behind the
kitchen, but no other sounds are audible. A large metal panel covers the counterspace, with tubes running up and down it, which travel
into the ceiling. A whoosh can be heard, before a small takeout bag pops out of one of the chutes.)
[05:45] Sci-1: Food looks fine. Edible, at the least.
[05:45] Sci-3: E, did you not read the fucking briefing? That shit could be made out of anything. And considering how empty the town
seems to be, it's likely people. Or metal.
[05:46] Sci-1: Of course I read the damn briefing. So I didn't pick it up, idiot.
[05:47] Command: Remember, you're only here for observation. Not as a taste-tester. This isn't Costco.
(Sci-2 moves over to the windows, which appear segmented and made of many smaller, hexagonal panels of glass.)
[05:48] Sci-2: These are some weird windows.
[05:50] Sci-1: Stop ogling at glass, Al. Let's just keep going.
(The team examines the lobby of the restaurant further, finding nothing of note.)
[06:10] Sci-4: Alright. Everything seems to be going on back there. Al, Dro, weapons ready, and go.
(Sci-2 and Sci-3 open the swivel door to the "Employees Only" area. A long tunnel leads towards darkness.)
View from Sci-4’s body cam.
[06:25] Sci-2: Spooky. Very spooky.
(The four begin walking. The brick stones and tubes which hold up the walls begin to become bleached, as they continue downwards.)
[07:21] Sci-1: Strange. These walls are puffy. And these tubes are massive. Bunch of em, snaking down everywhere, before all meeting
up there.
(As they continue, Sci-3 stops.)
[08:14] Sci-3: I'm never going to a Burger King again, Christ. Big Mac all the fucking way now. Least they don't eat me.
(A loud groan can be heard, before moisture begins to drip from large holes in the ceiling.)
[08:22] Sci-1: Anyone else noticing that there's uh, water here? Or something. And it's slimey.
(As he continues forward, a rattling can be heard from the tubes. Swiveling his flashlight up, Sci-2 shines a beam on large pieces of
lettuce. Shining the beam down, he continues. Foundation review noted the lettuces' amoeba-like, shifting structure.)
[09:31] Command: Sonar tells me there's gonna be a small door ahead of you guys.
[09:39] Sci-2: There it is, in all its glory.
(The team comes upon the “Kitchen” doors. Sci-1 enters by squeezing through, followed by Sci-4, Sci-2, and Sci-3.)
[09:44] Sci-3: Yuck.

(As they enter, the grinding sound grows louder. Body cam footage reveals the presence of a standard commercial kitchen, albeit nearly
devoid of any appliances. A large machine is in the back.)
[10:01] Sci-2: The place is fully stocked. Like people just up and left.
[10:02] Sci-1: No one's been here for a long-ass time, but there's still fresh lettuce? This I don't like this at all.
View from Sci-4’s body cam. The machine is in the back of the image.
[10:21] Sci-4: Look at this.
(Sci-4 points to the large tank in the back. The machine features a large hopper connected to the overhead tubes, spitting out grinded
up ingredients onto a conveyer belt. Shoes, metal, unidentified meat, and wood can be seen flowing on the belt into a funnel. Sci-1
moves to the output area, where the finished food is put into the pneumatic tubes seen earlier. The food is not whisked away, however,
allowing for Sci-2 to pick it up and examine it. The camera catches a metallic glint from the box of fries, which appear to be moist,
eaten away, and gray.)
[10:30] Sci-2: Looks fine. A regular old box of gray, stringy fries. (Upon closer examination, he quickly tosses it away. A long
stringy object is caught on his arm.) What the fuck?! That's a shoelace!
[10:31] Sci-3: So that's where everyone went. The entire town. Just eaten.
[10:35] Command: Sci-3, can you strike that rusty panel please? We still have yet to know exactly how that machine works.
(Sci-3 picks up his gun, and begins to strike the body of the machine with the stock of his rifle. As he's pulled back by Sci-1, he
strikes the machine's panel once more. It falls away, revealing a pinkish, fleshy mass.)
[10: 41] Sci-3: It's not a fucking machine.
[10:42] Command: Please retrieve a small sample.
(Sci-3 carves the fleshy mass, cutting a hole in its side. A yellow liquid starts flowing out, melting the fallen panel. A low
rattling can be heard from the ingredient containers.)
[10:50] Sci-1: What the fuck did you do?
[10:50] Sci-4: Weapons ready, evacuate. We've found the source, we'll get others to deal with this.
(A loud, reverberating groan can be heard. Two boxes of lettuce latch on to Sci-1's back, before breaking them down using an acid
similar to the one out of the machine. A frothy substance is excreted by the boxes, as Sci-1 screams.)
[10:51] Sci-4: Go, go, go.
(A final frame of the body cam shows Sci-1 inside one of the leafs of lettuce, which has expanded to his size, and is breaking him
down.)
[10:55] Sci-2: Commish, this place isn't doing what I think it is, is it?
[10:56] Sci-4: Shut up and move.
(Their way is blocked by massive burger buns. These buns excrete sesame seeds onto the trio, before melting into the same yellow acid
from before. Foundation analysis finds these sesame seeds bearing a strong resemblance to immunoglobulin E. The buns are torn apart by
rifle fire.)
[11:30] Sci-4: It's trying to kill us. We just have to make it out now, guys.
[11: 31] Sci-2: This shit made them start swarming. They're coming, quickly.
(As they continue, a scream can be heard. Sci-3 is being ground to a pulp by the walls, which are constricting and attempting to push
him toward the "Kitchen" door. As he's pulled through the door, a low grumble can be heard. Sci-2 attempts to fire a few shots, but it
does nothing to the walls.)
[01:23] Sci-2: Shit, shit, shit. Commish, what're we gonna do?
[01:23] Sci-4: Run, Dro, just fucking run. We get out of here, and we run.
(The "Employees Only" door comes in sight. Sci-4 is able to make it through, but before he can, a muffled thump is heard. Turning
around, the body cam catches a glimpse of the floor rising up. Blue throbbing veins can be seen, before the muscular floor pushes Sci-
2 back towards the doors. On the way down, the floor strikes Sci-2 against a thick, low hanging outcrop, which causes another loud
groan. Sci-2 is rendered unconscious according to bio-monitors, and body cam footage reveals his breaking down by the lettuce soon
after.)
[05:23] Sci-4: Fuck! Dro! Alright, that's it.
(Sci-4 loads his rifle.)
[5:24] Sci-4: Go to hell.
(Sci-4 shoots the outcrop, as well as the floor. The floor begins to move again, releasing moisture from the tunnel onto Sci-4, and
attempting to throw him backwards into the tunnel. Sci-4 fires rounds from the doorway, rendering the floor immobile, before turning

Item No: SCP-4393
Object Class: Euclid Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: Irrelevant, see Incident 23/5/1959.
Archived Containment Procedures

SCP-4393 is to be contained in standard containment chamber in Site-125 and is to be continuously provided with a fresh supply of
square paper measuring 15 x 15 centimeters. Only paper below 50 g/m² can be given to SCP-4393, to slow down the rate of degradation.
Any attempt to unfold the entity is prohibited as it may cause unforeseen irreversible damage. All SCP-4393-1 instances are to be
captured and stored in a standard, airtight, padded containment chamber.
Description: SCP-4393 is a sentient origami crane made of matte golden paper, showing visible wear and degradation, particularly at
its creases. SCP-4393 is capable of flight and spends most of its time searching for paper suitable for the creation of origami
cranes. SCP-4393 uses its two relatively manipulative pointed wings to fold the paper accordingly. Depending on the paper’s thickness
and due to its lack of dextrous digits, the creation of one origami crane will take SCP-4393 two to five hours to finish.
Origami cranes folded by SCP-4393 become sentient and will be collectively referred to as SCP-4393-1. Instances are capable of flight
and will immediately attempt to escape upon gaining sentience. All SCP-4393-1 instances have the physical properties of paper and can
be easily destroyed, either deliberately or accidentally.
Directly handling SCP-4393 or destroying an instance of SCP-4939-1 triggers an aggressive response from all instances of SCP-4939-1,
marked by a mobbing[1] behavior towards the personnel. However, due to their lack of physical strength, a single or group of SCP-4393-1
instances poses no immediate danger and can easily be removed and contained. Contained SCP-4393-1 instances will continually collide
with the walls of their containment cell, possibly in an attempt to escape. Instances will repeat this behavior until they are
immobilized by the damage caused.
1. An antipredatory behavior utilized by several bird species in which individuals of prey species mob a predator by cooperatively attacking or harassing it.
If SCP-4393 is prevented from creating SCP-4939-1 instances, it will display self-destructive behavior similar to that of previously
created instances in containment. Restricting its movement also triggers destructive behavior, resulting in tears and further
degradation particularly at its creases.
SCP-4393 was discovered on December 25, 1955, when a researcher caught SCP-4393 using a document to create an SCP-4393-1 instance. As
of 3/4/1957, there are a total of 3958 contained SCP-4393-1 instances created by SCP-4393.
Colored and restored image of Incident 23/5/1959 showing the SCP-4393-1 swarm.
Incident 23/5/1959: On 23/5/1958 at exactly 19:55, SCP-4393 ceased movement and was confirmed to be neutralized, possibly due to
substantial degradation. Prior to this, SCP-4393 was in the process of folding another SCP-4393-1 instance.
Immediately after its neutralization, all contained SCP-4393-1 instances were observed to halt their movement and began dropping on
the floor. Several seconds later, all instances began shaking before flying and aggregating in the center of its containment chamber.
The rotating swarm of SCP-4393-1 instances accelerated before simultaneously colliding with and breaking the wall of its chamber,
resulting in the destruction of nearly a third of the swarm. A Level 3 containment breach was issued. The escaped instances then
proceeded to the location of SCP-4393 and incapacitated personnel through mobbing behavior.
Four of the SCP-4393-1 instances approached and finished the uncompleted origami crane, which immediately gained sentience. The SCP-
4393-1 instances began to aggregate again, with the inert SCP-4393 at their center. The aggregate momentarily collapsed in on itself
creating a loud shockwave composed of multiple crane calls, which instantaneously caused all paper within 60 meters to fold itself
into SCP-4393-1 instances.
The swarm, estimated to be composed of nearly 20,000 SCP-4393-1 instances, began to move in a westerly direction at a speed of
1200 km/h, leaving the still inert SCP-4393. As most of the destroyed documents had digital backups, there was no substantial loss of
data, however, the SCP-4393-1 instances made of confidential Foundation documents posed a significant security data risk which
immediately upgraded the incident into a Level 7 Alpha-1 Containment Breach.
Five Foundation aircraft intercepted and engaged the SCP-4393-1 swarm above the center of the Pacific Ocean resulting in the
destruction of nearly half of the swarm. The surviving SCP-4393-1 instances began mobbing the aircraft, destroying three of them and
severely damaging the other two, which were ordered to retreat. The surviving SCP-4393-1 instances continued their flight path which
was observed to head towards the islands of Japan. Site-33 on Hokkaido, Japan was alerted of the oncoming swarm.
Over a quarter of the SCP-4393-1 instances escaped a second attack launched from Site-33 and headed towards the Fukuoka Prefecture.
The SCP-4393-1 instances gathered on the burial site of Sadako Sasaki[2] before becoming inert. All the instances were removed and
civilian witnesses were amnesticised. The incident was successfully covered-up with no further complications.
2. A "hibakusha" – a Japanese term meaning "bomb-affected person". She is known for her attempt in curing her radiation-induced leukemia by folding a thousand
origami cranes, which was believed to grant the folder a wish. Records state that she managed to fold over a thousand origami cranes before her eventual death on
October 25, 1955, at the age of 12.
Update SCP-4393: Prior to the permanent storage of SCP-4393, a text written by an unknown individual in Japanese was found within SCP-
4393. Translated into English, the text is transcribed below.
If a thousand cranes failed to save you,

Maybe a thousand more may bring you back.
Their hate may have taken you away,

But our love to you will forever stay.
May you be happy where you reside,

Though I prefer you still being by my side.

LEVEL2 RESTRICTED
CONTAINMENT CLASS: NEUTRALIZED
DISRUPTION CLASS: NONE
RISK CLASS: NONE
SCP-4420 in its current state. Photo taken from a safe distance of 50 meters.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4420 is currently contained 150 meters from Site-82 in a localized artificial pocket dimension,
housed in Tentative Containment Module #819. Para-technicians have installed a Scranton-Marlowe Topology Stabilizer (or SMTS) to
maintain dimensional stability in the chamber.
Description: SCP-4420 is a red Idaho potato with a current mass of 400,000,000 kg and external dimensions of 150 meters by 65 meters
by 55 meters. SCP-4420 displays the following ectoentropic properties:
1. SCP-4420 recuperates moisture shrinkage (~5% every two weeks) by generating a random amount of solid potato matter. During this
event, a random Idaho citizen's drinking water transforms into starch-rich potato-flavoured water, granting the ability to commune
with potatoes for 3 to 10 hours upon consumption.
2. Exposure to visible EM radiation produces potato matter of a randomized form. The new matter relates to potatoes at various
conceptual levels, be that immediate or vague. The new matter grows alongside SCP-4420, attaching themselves via esoteric means beyond
current agricultural understanding. Observed forms include:
Any variation of the 5,000 potato varieties grown globally.

Forms of cooked potato such as mashed potatoes, French cut fries, potato chips, and hash browns.
1996 Idaho County Junior League Potato Sack Race champion Michelle Brown, age 6.
A species of Jerusalem cricket (colloquially known as a potato bug) composed of sweet potato. The entities have colonized ~8%
of SCP-4420 to date.
Memetic ennui affecting 25% of individuals within a 5 km radius.
3. SCP-4420 displays an innate immunity to decay. SCP-4420 consumes organic irregularities almost immediately after they develop and
produces healthy potato matter in their place.
4. SCP-4420 consumes food and organic waste within a 20-meter-wide area. Any organic matter entering this area transforms into a
potato tuber of equal mass, which teleports into SCP-4420. Organic matter includes small animals up to 10 kg in mass.
At the time of documentation, SCP-4420 has been growing for ~22 years.
Updates
I. May 10, 2019
Field researchers discovered foreign fluid with trace amounts of thaumic contaminant in the local groundwater. Site-82's Command
Office initiated Mandate 3731-Ov91, which calls for immediate lockdown and destruction of foreign substances. The area-wide lockdown
was successful — not accounting for SCP-4420, due to its containment location.
At 2151 CDT, SCP-4420 absorbed thaumic emission and developed sapience that lasted for a period of 32 hours. During this time, SCP-
4420 displayed the ability to manipulate informational constructs. This led to the dissemination of 362 separate SMS messages to
researchers on-site. A series of received messages are as follows.

Item #: SCP-4443
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4443 is to be contained in a standard containment locker.
Security Personnel are to be stationed within all rooms directly adjacent to the testing chamber of SCP-4443. Rooms are to be supplied
with equipment under the guidelines given under Document 4443/4.
Update: Following the events of Test-4443-31, security personnel are to be stationed in the chamber during testing.
Description: SCP-4443 is a plain white sheet measuring 180x150CM. Two circular pieces of black polyester have been stitched into it
side to side, giving it the appearance of a generic ‘sheet ghost’ Halloween costume. Anomalous properties of SCP-4443 only manifest
when worn.
When worn by a subject, SCP-4443 is resistant to the effects of all air currents and will only move when manipulated by the wearer or
other physical forces. Wearers are capable of phasing directly through solid surfaces along with SCP-4443. Subjects do not need to be
fully covered for anomalous qualities to manifest; tests have shown effects to manifest as long as approximately 50% of the subject's
body is covered by SCP-4443. Under normal circumstances[1], SCP-4443 may be removed by the wearer or by another person directly
attempting to do so.
1. See testing log
Additionally, those wearing SCP-4443 are capable of slow but steady upwards levitation. This effect is only achieved while the user
vocalizes a sound barring resemblance to the typical ‘Oooo’ noise associated with ghosts. Levitation will cease when the wearer stops
the vocalization wherein they will slowly float back downwards.
Discovery Log: SCP-4443 was initially discovered following the unusual circumstances surrounding the death of Craig , who had
reportedly fallen from the second story of his home in , Wisconsin, United States. The parents of Craig and several outside
witnesses had confirmed him to have apparently moved through the house's second story wall while wearing SCP-4443. Amnestics were
issued and upon confirming its anomalous properties, SCP-4443 was secured. At no point was it confirmed whether SCP-4443 had been made
by Craig or was found.
Testing Log
Test: 4443-004
Subject: D-48561
Details: D-48561 is told to vocalize an ‘Oooo’ for several seconds.
Results: D-48561 levitates several cms above the ground for the remainder of the vocalization before dropping back down.
Test: 4443-006
Subject: D-48561
Details: D-48561 is instructed to vocalize an ‘Oooo’ for as long as they possibly can.
Results: D-48561 levitates through the test chamber ceiling and into the room above which had been prepared for such a result. D-
48561 was then instructed to cease Ooooing.
Test: 4443-009
Subject: D-48561
Details: D-48561 is asked to lower themselves to the floor and lay down.
Results: The covered section of D-48561 immediately phases through the floor followed by their legs. While initially arriving in the
room below, D-48561 phases through the awaiting safety mat and then through the floor below it. D-48561 continues falling through
several floors below until [DATA REDACTED].
Notes: Before beginning the test, D-48561 reported hearing faint noises from an unknown source after putting on SCP-4443.
Test: 4443-015
Subject: D-48390
Details: D-48390 is instructed to vocalize an ‘Oooo’ at a louder volume than normal.
Results: D-48390 rises upwards with drastically more momentum. D-48390 then floats back downwards as normal.
Test: 4443-024
Subject: D-48390
Details: D-48390 is told to run through several propped up walls while vocalizing an ‘Oooo’.
Results: D-48390 phases through several walls before gradually floating upwards while remaining in straightforward momentum. D-48390
lands back down safely once ceasing vocalizations.
Notes: D-48390 reported witnessing what appeared to be a non-distinct figure standing in the testing chamber. The figure was not
spotted again after initial observation.
Test: 4443-031
Subject: D-48390
Details: D-48390 was instructed to remain still while wearing SCP-4443 and to report any visual abnormalities.
Results: After several minutes, D-48390 reports seeing several figures appearing in different locations within the testing chamber.
Figures are described as resembling humans of various ages dressed in sheets identical to SCP-4443. Most of which are apparently
children and several being adults; one of which D-48390 confirms to be wearing orange jumpsuits underneath the robes. Figures
differentiate between walking/floating around the room and stopping in front of D-48390, never breaking direct view of him
throughout.
D-48390 becomes greatly agitated and attempts to run out of the testing chamber through a wall while wearing SCP-4443. D-48390
phases through the wall of the testing chamber only for SCP-4443 to appear from the other side without D-48390.
The whereabouts of D-48390 are currently unknown.

Find Him

Wilson Score: 0.89
Original Version
No information regarding any specific location on Earth is to exist on SCP-4885's file unless
given direct permission by the O5 Council.
Item #: SCP-4885
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Currently, it is only theorized that SCP-4885 is contained. To further elaborate, SCP-4885 is
contained within an unknown Class-17 Containment Chamber in an unknown site. In the event that SCP-4885 breaches containment,
Procedure Invenient Eum is to be enacted, which consists of the following procedures:
Thirty six Class-17 Containment Chambers are to be connected to an independent self-driving vehicle. At all times, 216 inactive
Containment Chambers are to be readily available in case of sudden and unforeseen breach of SCP-4885's containment.
One D-Class subject of stable mental health is to be submitted into the vehicle, and driven into the system. A
cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator is to choose a random number between one and thirty-six, and the vehicle
is to be transported to a Containment Chamber based on the number chosen.
Each Containment Chamber has a single digital monitor that is capable of outputting video at 720p resolution. Once a D-Class
subject is transported to a random chamber, a message is to be sent to every monitor simultaneously. This message consists of
the current location of SCP-4885, delivered via an implanted tracking device. The GPS is only accessible by Level 5 Personnel
or SCP-4885 containment staff on a need to know basis.
After approximately two hours, each containment chamber is to be transported to a randomly designated Foundation site via self-
driving trucks. The trucks are to be disguised as a packaging service in order to prevent suspicion. In the event an accident
occurs during this stage, Procedure Invenient Eum is to be enacted again.
No personnel who are aware of SCP-4885's existence are to go within 100 meters of any Class-17 Containment Chamber. Several signs and
warnings have been placed around each chamber, labeling it as a water treatment room, and that attempted access is punishable by
immediate amnestication and loss of employment as decided by the Ethics Committee.
These warnings tell personnel to report to a nearby Automated Site Overseer of any leaks from the chamber, in which the person will be
visually amnesticized by the Overseer, and Procedure Invenient Eum will be reenacted. For more information regarding the composition
of Class-17 Containment Chambers, please consult Document 7631.00.
Currently, SCP-4885-1 instances that are located via far2.AIC are contained within Location i. The whereabouts of Location i is only
known to far2.AIC. Currently, far2.AIC is connected to 80% of CCTV security cameras within the United States, and 40% of total CCTV
security cameras on Earth.
SCP-4885-1 instances discovered by far2.AIC will have specialized Foundation carrier drones to be dispatched and attempt to grab the
body, and carry it to Location i, using routes that minimize the chance of unwanted civilian interference. In the event that a
civilian notices a drone and SCP-4885 breaches containment, the drone will send an "All Alert" message to SCP-4885's containment team,
and Procedure Invenient Eum will be enacted.
In the event that Location i's whereabouts are discovered at large, the next personnel located within Document PAINT-THE-TOWN-YELLOW
will establish the next Location i, and their immediate family will be notified of their death.
Description: SCP-4885 is an anomalous humanoid resembling the main character of the popular series of puzzle books "Where's Wally?"
(known in the US as "Where's Waldo?"). This entails that SCP-4885 wears a horizontal red and white striped shirt, a red and white
bobble hat, and jeans. However, a noticeable difference in appearance from the character is the entity's paler skin and the lack of
eyes.
In the event that a subject knows of SCP-4885's current location at any given time[1], SCP-4885 will move to the nearest wall and begin
to "phase" into it. SCP-4885 will appear inside of the subject, and will reach up the esophagus and grab the subject's chin through
their mouth.
1. The anomalous property will not trigger if the knowledge of its location is too ambiguous, such as "Planet Earth," or "China." The specifics of this effect are
unknown.
SCP-4885 will then proceed to pull themselves through the subject, destroying their internal organs and their spine. Once this has
occurred, a yellow liquid will exit the corpse's mouth and will cover the subject entirely, which causes it to become an SCP-4885-1
instance. SCP-4885 will remain in its current location, occasionally patrolling the area, until another person discovers its location
once again.
However, if SCP-4885 is close enough to the subject when they discover its location, they will instead approach the subject, attempt
to climb into the subject's mouth, enter their abdomen and exit their body through the subject's pelvis. During this time, SCP-4885
can easily dislocate/relocate any joint in its body, and its skin and muscles will gain the consistency of a malleable solid, allowing
it to easily climb into and out of the subject.
SCP-4885-1 instances are anomalous corpses that were created by SCP-4885. The entire body of an SCP-4885-1 instance is covered in
illustrations similar to those found in Where's Wally? books, with many different characters appearing on the instance's skin. These
illustrations originate from the liquid that exits the corpses' mouth. Currently, no instances of the cartoon character "Wally" have
been found on an SCP-4885-1 instance. These illustrations cannot be removed from the subject unless the skin it is placed on is
removed.
If a subject knows the location of any given SCP-4885-1 instance, SCP-4885 will teleport itself to the subject and kill them in the
exact same manner as if they discovered SCP-4885 itself. This will also transform them into an SCP-4885-1 instance.
SCP-4885 was discovered residing in [LOCATION REDACTED] within a small wooden house. Mobile Task Force Chi-19 ("Unrelenting
Punishment") was sent to capture an entirely separate anomaly, and did not know of SCP-4885's existence.

M-3: Um Bathroom. There's a toilet and a a shower, yeah. At least I think it's a shower.
The room is circular, with a normal porcelain toilet at the other side of the room. There is a
small depression into the floor, leading to a small drain.
M-2: Strange what kind of shower is this?
M-1: There is a modified sprinkler on the ceiling. There's a switch on one side of the room that, I assume, would activate the
sprinkler. Seeing as this house has been abandoned for several years, I doubt it would work.
M-3 activates the switch. Water begins to come out of the sprinkler.
M-1: I stand corrected. Who is paying the water bill for this to work? Is it still hot?
M-3 touches the water, and immediately recoils in pain.
M-3: Gah it's scalding.

M-2 is seen holding a pair of black circular glasses. The lens appear to be missing.
M-1: Good. You know the drill.
M-2 carefully examines the object, checking for fingerprints or any other traces of evidence. A small set of fingerprints are
discovered on the temples of the glasses, which are revealed to be his own.
M-2: Yup, these are the ones. I'll put these in a baggie real quick.
M-2 produces a plastic bag from a small container around their waist, and places the glasses inside.
M-3: There's an inscription here. It's in uh, [REDACTED].

When the transcript was received by a nearby site, the site almost immediately went into lockdown as SCP-4885 killed most of its
personnel. The O5 Council enacted an emergency meeting, and Procedure Invenient Eum was created. Shortly after this, the procedure was
enacted, and SCP-4885 was theorized to be contained. All information regarding SCP-4885's location of discovery was removed via an
automatic algorithm, and SCP-4885's file was created.
Addendum
Location i's Creation Access Granted
Note from Lead Researcher Andrew Pent
Recently, I was alerted to the apparent danger of SCP-4885 and the corpses that it creates. Sure, we have Procedure Invenient Eum,
but there are presumably hundreds of SCP-4885-1 instances out there that we cannot contain at all, as even the O5 Council has
stated that they do not know how to contain the corpses. Here's my proposal. I will require no D-Class, nor any help from anyone.
I will create an algorithm for drones and other machines to detect SCP-4885-1 instances, grab them, and deliver them to a specific
location, which I will refer to as Location i. Location i, as far as any of you are concerned, will not exist.
This "Location i" will be known to no one except for me, and me alone. I will establish Location i in the algorithm that I have
created, and I will allow SCP-4885-1 instances to be dropped off at Location i. Any of you that know SCP-4885's effect know where
this is going.
Once Location i has been established, and the algorithm is up and running, I will exile myself to a location that, as far as any of
you are concerned, will not exist. I will cast myself to the forests, and I will wait for SCP-4885 to take me. Roughly three days
after I exile myself, activate Procedure Invenient Eum, and do not go looking for Location i.
If you're reading this and you're not an O5, then everything that I just said has already happened, and this proposal is a success.
No need to pray for me. Instead, pray that you never find Waldo.

ITEM#: 4999
LEVEL3 CONFIDENTIAL
DISRUPTION CLASS: EKHI
RISK CLASS: NOTICE
SCP-4999, circa 1973. Photo taken by professional photographer Gustav Bürger, three
minutes before his death.
Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP-4999's unwillingness or inability to appear before more than one person at a time, in
addition to the subsequent and immediate death of any who witness it firsthand, SCP-4999 is effectively self-containing. Any reports
of SCP-4999 manifestations captured by security camera feeds, photographs, or similar are to be investigated, and the media
confiscated for analysis. All secondhand witnesses among the civilian populace are to be amnesticized.
Description: SCP-4999 is a humanoid entity of unknown composition, visually resembling a middle-aged male. Its physical appearance
varies, with its dark suit being the only constant between manifestations. Due to the rarity of recorded SCP-4999 manifestation events
and the highly specific circumstances in which they occur, little data concerning its nature or intent is available; however, its
behavior is consistent across all recorded sightings.
SCP-4999 will manifest only in the presence of one solitary human person at a time. All subjects recorded to date have been in
terminally poor health, critically injured, or on their deathbeds, with SCP-4999 appearing nearby and within sight of the individual
not more than 20 minutes before their expiration. SCP-4999 will only appear if the subject is conscious and alone. It will not appear
if the subject is comatose, asleep, or unconscious; nor will it appear if they are being cared for by, in the company of, or otherwise
being directly observed by another person.
Upon manifestation, the entity will seat itself directly adjacent to the subject's bed, if such furniture is available. If not, it
will remain standing or sit on the floor/ground in whatever configuration will allow it direct physical access to the subject without
causing disturbance. Once situated, it will remove a pack of cigarettes from its left inside jacket pocket and offer one to the
subject. If the subject accepts, SCP-4999 will place it between their lips, remove one for itself, and light both. If the subject
declines, SCP-4999 will light and smoke the cigarette instead. The entity will make physical contact with the subject, typically via
holding their hand, placing its hand atop theirs, or resting its hand on their shoulder.
SCP-4999 will then remain with the subject, silent and unmoving, until they have passed away.
SCP-4999 has not been seen to engage in any other activity or behavior, and demanifests immediately upon the subject's death. The
subject's cigarette, however, will remain, providing the only physical evidence of SCP-4999's presence.
No subject thus far has been seen to recoil from or otherwise resist the entity, nor have any attempted to engage it in conversation,
despite multiple instances of subjects acknowledging the entity's presence via eye contact, adjusting posture to reciprocate or
facilitate the entity's touch, breaking into tears when noticing its presence, or verbally thanking the entity when offered a
cigarette.
Individuals affected by SCP-4999 share a number of common attributes. Research into identified subjects has indicated that SCP-4999 is
more likely to appear if an individual:
lives alone
is nonreligious
is impoverished or homeless
displays a history of mental illness
is a military veteran
has no criminal record, or has never been convicted of a violent crime
has no currently surviving family
is unmarried or otherwise lacks a significant other
has little to no social standing in their community
does not exhibit any record of significant professional or personal accomplishments
has few to no mutually beneficial interpersonal relationships,
or exhibits qualities and life history that have rendered the individual nondescript, anonymous, neglected, or otherwise unremarkable
or insignificant by the standards of their respective society.
No testing involving SCP-4999 has been authorized or attempted, due to available data indicating that observation of a subject
precludes its manifestation, as well as ethical concerns.
Discovery: SCP-4999 was initially discovered as the result of its emerging status as an urban legend, with footage of the entity
appearing on hospital security cameras worldwide being disseminated via the Internet and various television programs. A minor
disinformation program was put into effect to maintain this public image, and SCP-4999 was officially registered on November 27th,
1998.
In the years following SCP-4999's classification, additional research and cross-referencing with accounts of similar phenomena have
suggested that while concrete evidence of SCP-4999 appearances has become more commonplace due to the advent of photography and video
recording technology in the modern era, writings and artistic depictions of a figure exhibiting similar properties, behavior and
physical resemblance to SCP-4999 exist throughout world history, culture, and mythology, with some accounts being thousands of years
old - in some cases predating human civilization.
It is not currently understood how pre-modern cultures would have been capable of detecting SCP-4999's presence. Investigation is
ongoing.
