SCP-2013 | safe | close Info X Ihp here. I'm not gonna lie, I screwed up when I wrote this. For the Sci-Fi themed SCP-2000 contest, my mind was, for some reason, drawn to the Reptilian conspiracy theory. I figured it was just some harmless thing only crackpots believed, nobody would mind me using it— And then it turns out to be "OOPS! All Antisemitism!". The Reptilian Conspiracy theory has basis in several anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, including the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. I was not aware of its roots at the time, and I seriously regret writing this document. However, as it is an SCP-2000 contest entry, I… don't know how I feel about giving up the slot. Item #: SCP-2013 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2013 is to be treated through global dispersal of an aerosolized version of the Cardiff Compound, distributed via Foundation-owned aircraft, disguised as normal aircraft trails. Foundation employees affected by SCP-2013 are to be subject to regular Class-C Amnestic administration to treat infection. Individuals refusing treatment are to be administered Class-A amnestics and have their positions at the Foundation terminated. All previous documentation regarding SCP-2013 has been archived for the sake of posterity. To view previous containment procedures, please input password: Show Previous Containment Procedures Access Granted All instances of SCP-2013-A currently holding positions within any world government are to be neutralized at any cost. Wild instances of SCP-2013-A, as well as all instances of SCP-2013-B, are to be destroyed using Parker-class weaponry. Information about SCP-2013 is to be disseminated publicly via television and radio broadcasts, informative pamphlets, and through various new media such as online video sharing sites and blogs. Foundation personnel are encouraged to publish their findings on SCP-2013 publicly in any manner possible, to weaken the overall power of SCP-2013-A, and the effectiveness of SCP-2013-B. Once approximately 20% global awareness of SCP-2013 has been reached, the Hereford Protocol is to be carried out. Description: SCP-2013 refers to a Renard Class memetic agent. SCP-2013 can be spread via visual, auditory or tactile1 vectors, and has an infection rate of approximately 72%. SCP-2013 causes affected individuals to develop a belief in SCP-2013-A. SCP-2013-A is allegedly an extraterrestrial race that has infiltrated various world governments, including the USA, United Kingdom, Iran, Russia, and North Korea. Individuals affected by SCP-2013 cannot be cured, but can be treated through regular amnestic consumption or administration. Further infection has been prevented by global dispersal of the Cardiff Compound. Currently, less than 1% of the population of planet Earth believes in the existence of SCP-2013-A, with the highest concentration being in the United States, where 4% believe in the existence of SCP-2013-A. SCP-2013-A instances were previously believed to be actual anomalies, as opposed to delusions caused by SCP-2013. For previous documentation, please input password: Show Previous Documentation Access Granted SCP-2013 refers to two related anomalies. SCP-2013-A is a humanoid species of extraterrestrials with reptilian characteristics, believed to have originated from the Alpha Draconis star system. The average instance of SCP-2013 stands approximately 3m tall, with skin that is capable of changing color due to chromatophore cells similar to those found in chameleons. SCP-2013-A instances are hematophagic and cannot survive without blood for more than two weeks at a time, and do not require any additional sustenance, despite the fact that they have been known to eat other forms of food. If an instance of SCP-2013-A dies violently, their bodies sublimate into a large quantity of nitrogen-based gas whose molecular chains resemble some forms of amnestic used by the Foundation, causing memory loss in all individuals within a 50-meter radius. SCP-2013-B refers to technology used by SCP-2013-A to alter their appearance to resemble human beings. SCP-2013-B has several variations, including a pill ingested by SCP-2013-A on a weekly basis to alter their DNA and body chemistry to resemble a human's, to "skin suits" that act as size-altering disguised to SCP-2013-A instances, to permanent cosmetic alteration of their features. SCP-2013-A instances are functionally immortal, provided that they imbibe a volume of approximately 5L of blood at least once every two weeks. However, SCP-2013 as a whole can be weakened provided that humans are both aware of the existence of SCP-2013, and believe that it exists; for example, if an individual views an autopsy video of an SCP-2013-A instance, but does not believe the instance to be a genuine article, SCP-2013 suffers no detrimental effects. However, if 1 out of 5 individuals viewing a live feed of an SCP-2013-A specimen believe it to be real, the specimen will be weakened to the point where it can be killed using small arms fire with no detrimental effects. Addendum: The Hereford Protocol: The Hereford protocol is a global series of military coups and assassinations to be carried out against SCP-2013 once information saturation has reached 20%. During this, a series of coordinated attacks across several countries, including [DATA EXPUNGED] are to be carried out to eliminate SCP-2013-A instances. By this point, SCP-2013-B instances will have ceased to be effective in disguising SCP-2013-A as humans, and the populace of countries where SCP-2013 has control will begin to question the legitimacy of their rule. Known SCP-2013-A instances that will be neutralized during the Hereford Protocol include: All current and former presidents of █████████████████, as well as their families Several actors and musicians, including ████████████████, █████████, and █████████████. The royal families of █████, ██████████████████, and ███████████ [DATA EXPUNGED] [DATA EXPUNGED] ██% of GOI-02-Black (The Chaos Insurgency) The Hereford Protocol is expected to be carried out some time in late 2011 or early 2012. Addendum: On 06/05/████, a believed instance of SCP-2013-A died of natural causes. The Foundation took the body into custody for autopsy, only to find that this alleged instance of SCP-2013-A was, in fact, a normal human being. Further inspection by uninfected personnel showed that all deceased instances of SCP-2013-A in storage were, in fact, human beings; all reports on SCP-2013-A were written by individuals affected by SCP-2013. Given this information, we are cancelling the Hereford Protocol; new containment procedures have been written regarding SCP-2013. -O5-2 ID d4e30f30647b20ac8d9545f0d2d0aed5_1734915986 PASSWORD a5341785b71b5f588aff1218dbc632b2_1734915986 Login Logout ACCESS DENIED You have attempted to access a restricted file. Foundation Agents will be dispatched to your location if this window is not closed. It all comes down to money. We couldn't get funding, in the early days. The various governments of the world refused to fund us, and we didn't have SCPs that made endless amounts of gold or jewels or could be used to cheat the stock market. The President of the United States said "No". The Czar said "No". The Crown said "No". They didn't believe what we were doing was right, or useful. Despite our lack of resources, we had one thing we could use. SCP-2013. Neither of the files you just read about SCP-2013 is the actual one; the original original file doesn't exist anymore, but the gist of it was this: SCP-2013 was a clutch of eggs that we found at the bottom of the sea in 1900, brought up by a fishing trawler. The eggs were dead, but the Foundation kept them as a curiosity. In the early days, the Foundation was obsessed with bringing the dead back to life, thanks to Frankenstein. We tried to revive the eggs in various ways, from supporting the embryos outside of the egg (which failed), to electrocuting them (which cooked them), to just plain incubating them (which also cooked them). Eventually, we tried an experimental compound that's long since been lost to history. It was made up of mercury, iridium, radium, and a few other elements that science didn't yet know about. And then the eggs hatched. They acted just like children, but they looked like iguanas mixed with gorillas. They had blood chemistry we had never seen before, and could mimic human speech and behavior to a startling degree. At the same time, the Foundation had been developing disguises to hide its agents in unfriendly lands, and they were so high-quality, a 50-year-old man could wear a face that made him look like an 18-year-old girl, and, except for perhaps the height, it would be impossible to tell the difference. The creatures that hatched from SCP-2013 were cooperative, and viewed us as their parents. They also matured very quickly, and grew to adult size within 6 months. All we needed to do was educate them about the world at large, put them in a skin suit, and then we sent them out into the world to be the best at their job. They were politicians, writers, singers, actors, kings, queens, inventors, agents… they were all important, in their own way. Five out of the last seventeen US Presidents have been these creatures, as of 2012. The Queen of England got replaced long ago, and her family still doesn't know it. Our greatest success was probably infiltrating a major cell of the Chaos Insurgency back in the 1970's. Over the years, we've bred over 1,500 instances of SCP-2013-A, and technology improved to make their disguises more convincing; we could alter their height, their DNA, even permanently sculpt their appearance so that they never ran the risk of being exposed. That's how the Foundation got a large part of their funding up until they discovered that we could literally make gold from lead using simple fission and fusion reactions. Platinum's actually simpler to make, but that's beside the point. We eventually discontinued the SCP-2013 program, and we rounded them up and, essentially, expunged them from existence; we thought we had killed them all, except for a couple we kept alive for the sake of testing. And then we got word that the Global Occult Coalition had been infiltrated by an SCP-2013-A instance. They had made their way up the ranks quite a way, to the point that they were a consultant for the ambassador from Czechoslovakia. Nobody was the wiser until we received a reconnaissance report from the "agent" itself. We informed the GOC, it was detained, and written off as an isolated event. We thought that was the end of it, until the elections happened. A small constituency in England elected its MP for the term, and then we found out that all of the candidates were actually SCP-2013-A instances. We didn't know about this until after the election, and after that, it was too late to take any of them out; they were public figures, they were in the media, and any action against them would draw suspicion. We found that on their own, SCP-2013-A had spread all over the globe. For all intents and purposes, they rule the world; more than half but less than three-fourths of the world's governments are controlled by them. We classified them as Keter, made them aliens, and said that they were effectively immortal to discourage any assassinations. But, we weren't without hope. There was always the secondary effect. SCP-2013-A, for some reason, got weaker when people observed them. One of the researchers studying them called it a "detrimental anti-memetic effect", or "the more people know about them, the less effective they are". They grew less intelligent, lost muscle mass, underwent osteoporosis, and all-around just became easier to kill. The more of them there were, the less harmful the overall effect was; "memetic dilution" was the phrase that was thrown around. So, we began a plan to kill them. Crack the masquerade, however so slightly, reveal the existence of them to the world at large to cancel out the memetic dilution. And it was working, for a while; people who were called crackpots by their peers realized the truth, that their governments, their world, was not their own. They were called mad, but soon, the whole world would see the truth. The program was canceled, and the "it was all just a weird meme" explanation slapped on it, after the corpse was found. The Cardiff Compound was engineered to prevent anyone else to give into what was called a "crackpot conspiracy theory", and distributed through airplanes via chemtrail. But they are real. But, for some reason, this order was passed down: It has come to my attention that we have incorrectly documented SCP-2013. SCP-2013-A is non-existent, as is evidenced by the exhumations of several purported SCP-2013-A instances, as well as DNA samples and the recently recorded autopsy. Gentlemen, it appears we have been had. SCP-2013 was clearly nothing more than a harmless memetic agent that caused mass paranoia and made us interpret certain people in positions of fame or power as something not of this world. How this happened, we don't know; who made it, or even how it was made, we don't know; why it was made, we don't know. But we will find out. SCP-2013 is to be reclassified as Safe, and its containment file rewritten. For the sake of context, the current containment procedures are to be archived, and are accessible to any researcher with Level-4/2013 or higher clearance. Secure. Contain. Protect. -O5-2 By now, it has been more than 60 seconds since you opened this page. I apologize for any consequences that may come about as a result of you viewing this document. But, it eases me, knowing that the truth is out. Even if I am the one that is crazy. Secure. Contain. Protect. Footnotes 1. The latter is known to only work if the individual being affected by SCP-2013 can read and understand the braille alphabet. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2013" by (user deleted), from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2014 | euclid | 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. <End Log> ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2014" by DeviantDharma, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2015 | safe | Item #: SCP-2015 Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-2015 are to be kept in sound proof containment lockers at Site-20. Instances of SCP-2015 must be inspected monthly for repairs. Leaked vídeo footage of instances of SCP-2015 must be located and covered up. Experiments involving instances of SCP-2015 must be approved by at least one Level 3 Researcher. Description: SCP-2015 is the collective designation of 9 anomalous artistic pieces, referred to as SCP-2015-1 through SCP-2015-9. The materials used for making these artistic pieces vary, but they exhibit no anomalous properties by themselves. Each instance becomes autonomous when a certain phrase, specific to that instance, is spoken in its proximity. Speaking the phrase again will cause the instance to resume immobility. It is unknown how instances of SCP-2015 do not collapse under their own weight. Each animated instance can be controlled via thought with a small handheld object that is specific to that instance and has a similar theme1. Instances of SCP-2015 were found in [REDACTED], Japan on ██/██/20██. They were in a state of severe damage after a secret gathering among anomalous artists from around the world. Said event consisted of a competition between the anomalous artists to see which one could create an animate artistic piece that was aesthetically pleasing and capable of defeating the others in combat. Most anomalous artists were brought into Foundation custody. Investigations of similar events, additional instances of SCP-2015 and leaked vídeo footage are ongoing. Addendum: List of recovered SCP-2015 instances Designation Nickname Height Description SCP-2015-1 Game Over 16 m A wedding cake displaying several anatomical features of cephalopods. SCP-2015-2 Gigeripper 17 m A humanoid construct of black plastic resembling the titular creature from the “Alien” movie franchise with chainsaws in place of its hands. SCP-2015-3 Thirsty Hans 15 m A beer cooler resembling an eagle in shape. SCP-2015-4 Waterfall 18 m A porcelain toilet with urinating angel sculptures and spider-like legs. SCP-2015-5 Rubikhan 16 m A reconfigurable humanoid covered in small, brightly coloured surface plates similar to those of a "Rubik's Cube". SCP-2015-6 Wolfgang 18 m A piano painted in white and red stripes with a mechanical human torso attached to the top. SCP-2015-7 Something Completely Different 14 m A stone sculpture of a platypus covered in wormholes that sprout multijointed human limbs and sensory organs on stalks. SCP-2015-8 My Property 15 m A robot resembling the wife of the event's creator, dressed in underwear. On her back is the message "You know I was here, PP". SCP-2015-9 Vincipteryx 13 m A clockwork dragonfly-like construct resembling a machine from one of Leonardo Da Vinci's drawings. Addendum-B: Recovered tape recording describing a battle between two instances of SCP-2015. Foreword: This battle is between instances 2015-5 ("Rubikhan") and 2015-9 ("Vincipteryx"). <Begin Log> (The battle is about to start. SCP-2015-5 and SCP-2015-9 are in the ring, which is decorated with the competition's symbol, a boxing glove holding a brush. A loud siren can be heard going off for a few seconds.) "It started! Vinci is spreading its wings and getting ready to fly. Rubikhan is making a 'come get some' gesture. Vinci flies off the ground and charges at Rubikhan. He dodges out of the way and punches Vinci in the head!" "Rubikhan transforms its hands into axes and throws them at Vinci. He tries to dodge, but one of his legs is cut off. Vinci takes out a flamethrower from its back and fires at Rubikhan! Rubikhan transforms its torso into a copy of Escher's Waterfall and shoots a stream of water at the fire. There's now a cloud of steam covering half the ring and I can't see Rubikhan. Vinci looks like it's confused. Wait, Rubikhan came out! His hands are cymbals and he hits Vinci in the head with them!" "Vinci spreads its wings and charges again at Rubikhan. He tries to dodge, but is picked up by Vinci into the air! They're now attacking each other in mid-air! Rubikhan transforms one of its hands into a chainsaw and cuts off two of Vinci's wings. Vinci stops flying and they hit the ground. Rubikhan keeps cutting off Vinci's wings. Vinci shoots a green liquid from its mouth at Rubikhan and his face starts to melt. Rubikhan transforms into a transparent copy of Escher's Relativity. Vinci is trapped! It tries to spit the green liquid again, but a leg appears from the ground behind it and kicks it down the stairs! Vinci is now rolling down all over the place! Vinci finally lands on a platform and is almost still. Rubikhan becomes opaque again and transforms back into his normal form. He…he spits out Vinci. Vinci is no longer moving. (The siren goes off again. SCP-2015-5 is declared the winner.) <End Log> Addendum-C: Interview Log 2015-Alpha Interviewed: █████ ████████, creator of SCP-2015-9, referred to in this interview as PoI(Person of Interest)-2015-0102 Interviewer: Dr. ██████ <Begin Log> Dr. ██████: State your name for the record, please. PoI-2015-0102: My name is █████ ████████. Dr. ██████: Why and how did you create SCP-2015-9? PoI-2015-0102: You mean Vinci? To participate in the World Anart Fighting Competition, of course. I built him like you would build a clock. Just a different shape and size. One piece at a time, all in the right place. Dr. ██████: Do all other anomalous artists follow the same process as you when creating their works? PoI-2015-0102: There are probably others who do it in a different way, but that's their problem. My way is the best one, though. Dr. ██████: What is the purpose of this competition? PoI-2015-0102: To see who can create the most combat skilled anart piece. Aesthetics get you some points too, obviously. What else is there to know? Dr. ██████: Who started this competition, and what is the motivation for the participants to win? PoI-2015-0102: Nobody knows his real name or where he comes from, but he uses the nickname of "Palette Puncher". There isn't any money or a trophy for the winner, but there is a lot of cred to be gained. Dr. ██████: How long has this competition taken place? PoI-2015-0102: Since 19██. Dr. ██████: How exactly is the winner of a match determined? PoI-2015-0102: It is pretty simple, actually. If your artistic piece is damaged to the point that it no longer moves, you lose. Sometimes matches are pretty short, and other times they can last for hours. The audience is always gigantic, though. I've heard that even beings from other dimensions have watched and participated. Dr. ██████: What do you mean? What kind of beings? PoI-2015-0102: They're just rumors. But if you're really that curious, I'll let you know that some anartists say that birds from another universe and little people that can change their shapes have participated. Dr. ██████: Do you know if these beings have their own versions of anomalous artists? What motivates these beings to participate in the competition? PoI-2015-0102: I don't know. Maybe they do have anartists and want fame just like us. Why don't you ask them? You probably have some locked up somewhere. Dr. ██████: Thank you. This concludes the interview, unless you have something else to say. PoI-2015-0102: Oh, I do, actually. (At this point in the interview, a clockwork limb with a microphone at the tip appeared from PoI-2015-0102's left shoulder. PoI-2015-0102 quickly speaks the phrases "Reprogram activation phrase: Spread your wings. Delete deactivation command" into the microphone.) Dr. ██████: What the hell? What did you just do? (SCP-2015-9 was activated and breached containment. Two minutes later, SCP-2015-9 reached PoI-2015-0102's interrogation room, picked him up and put him on its back. SCP-2015-9 flees the interrogation room and tries to leave the facility. Security is immediately called and SCP-2015-9 is successfully recontained, although several damages to the facility and personnel deaths occurred. PoI-2015-0102's device did not appear during the inspection process. PoI-2015-0102 was recaptured and subjected to extensive surgeries to remove any similar devices.) <End Log> Footnotes 1. For example, SCP-2015-1's object is a wedding ring, and SCP-2015-9's object resembles a clockwork radio. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2015" by DeviantDharma, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2016 | safe | Item #: SCP-2016 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2016-1 is to be kept in a standard containment locker at Site-20. Testing with SCP-2016-1 must be approved by at least one Level 2 Researcher. SCP-2016-1 must be inspected monthly for repairs. Description: SCP-2016-1 is a knitted doll resembling a human male with a long white beard and dark green robes measuring approximately 32 cm in height. When humans enter REM sleep within 3 m of SCP-2016-1, they will experience vivid dreams. In addition to this, subjects will also usually encounter SCP-2016-2. SCP-2016-2 appears as an elderly human male with the same appearance as SCP-2016-1. It is always capable of understanding the language spoken by the dreamer, though it is not capable of verbal communication. These dreams always end with SCP-2016-2 handing the subject a piece of chalk and creating a wall while motioning for the subject to draw a rectangle with a circle inside on the surface of the wall. If a subject attempts to draw the shape indicated in the dream on the surface of a wall within 7 days of having the dream, the drawing will transform into a door with a round handle. If the subject opens the door, it leads to an open meadow with a stone tower located a varying distance away. There will be a paper attached to the tower's door saying "to my new apprentice" in the subject's native language. Said tower's floors contain several libraries and laboratories. All subjects who have used these facilities have died in their sleep within 5 years. Cause of death is unknown, but all subjects have been reported to release a gaseous mass from their mouths which disappears seconds later. Video surveillance shows an elderly, translucent human male similar to SCP-2016-1 and SCP-2016-2 approaching the sleeping subjects and absorbing the gaseous mass into his hand. Authorized personnel may refer to Exploration Log 2016 for further details about the tower. Level 2 access is required to view the unabridged log. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2016" by DeviantDharma, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2017 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2017 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2017 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell furnished with a bed, a set of drawers, and a bookshelf with age-appropriate books. A pediatrician and a child psychologist specializing in early-onset psychosis and anxiety disorders are to be assigned to SCP-2017 at all times. Except when isolated in containment or during a testing scenario, SCP-2017's skin is to be completely covered at all times, and all personnel handling SCP-2017 are advised to wear full-body protective suits. Description: SCP-2017 is an African-American human female, about 7 years old, formerly named █████ ████████. It is underweight compared to non-anomalous children, displays symptoms of anemia such as gray pallor and cold extremities, and is unusually shy and withdrawn. Its anomalous effect manifests when a human subject makes unprotected skin contact with SCP-2017. The subject experiences a condition tentatively called Sudden Onset Dissociation Disorder, or SCP-2017-Triggered Derealization Disorder. The affected subject recognizes itself as an entity but perceives the external world as foreign and nonsensical. SCP-2017-Triggered Dissociation Disorder will cause subjects to have difficulty understanding or internalizing even the most basic facets of human behavior. Subjects in the late stages of STDD will eventually perceive the entire physical world as lacking order or sense. In addition, affected subjects uniformly speak of a place or plane of existence they claim possesses the consistency the physical world lacks. Subjects eventually descend into complete self-neglect before experiencing heart failure and a longer than normal period of post-mortem brain activity. Brain death will often be attended with other anomalous phenomena. Worth noting is the fact that other than SCP-2017's taciturn nature, it is psychologically healthy and does not suffer from any type of dissociative disorder, anomalous or otherwise. Document 2017-A D-3500 was exposed to SCP-2017 on 01/03/████. Subject displayed literary talent above the general D-class population. Researchers predicted that subject would shed light on the more subtle, abstract effects of SCP-2017-induced dissociation through his personal writings Day 1: My field of vision is so oddly limited. It reminds me of a panoramic movie screen, the ones they show you nature documentaries on. These appendages in my view-screen… can I believe they are mine? They put the words I think onto those paper. I order them, but the hands are not me. My face feels hollow. It feels like a thin coat of paint that touches the world, and behind it…nothing. Is my face me? I can't see it. It doesn't exist. I have no face. Day 2: Nothing here makes any sense. These people in coats run performing rituals with all the effortless non-thought of lemmings jumping off a cliff. I have far-off visions of an avuncular-sounding male voice narrating the courting dance of small, scurrying things. I wonder what the animals think of their strangely structured habits. Day 3: It's worse than what I thought. They've got this huge, invisible edifice of rickety, anarchic, patchwork rules and mores and unwritten thou-shalt-nots. What architect built this? I think they did. Do? They're part of it, and build it, but the groundwork was laid forever ago. Why? Who the fuck is in charge around here, anyway? Day 4: This isn't how it's supposed to be. There isn't a single part of this monolith that makes any goddamn sense. Are all of them in on it? Can they be said to be in on it? Is a bee "in on" building a hive? Day 5: I have no body. The viewscreen works with scaffolding to move me, I, myself in this strange plane. It takes in, it excretes, but none of it is me. It's an avatar into the land of chaos. I'm not from here. There has been some sort of huge mistake. Day 6: Somewhere Else. I have seen it in my dreams, can touch it with the me that is me and not the projection they call my body. It vibrates with the sort of fractal perfection I yearn for. It is crystalline, cold, clean. Perfect. The order of things is woven tight into its fabric, is not the fraying net that binds things together here. That. Somewhere Else is my home. By Day 7, subject refuses to move or eat. Subject requests recorder to continue his notes. Day 7 Transcript: I am haunted by visions of hands that touched other hands, faces, bodies, that were beings like myself. The visions have an odd… tint to them, but not like a tint. They operate with dream logic where bizarre and confusing things happen and are accepted as perfectly normal. The faces in the visions were people, not faces. Now I do not see people, but bodies. And they aren't right. On Day 7, D-3500's heart and respiratory activity completely ceased. His brain continued to remain active for an inexplicable three hours and twenty minutes. After this time, subject underwent brain death and vanished. Subject's cot suddenly transmuted into a large, perfectly rectangular prism with a reflective index of zero. Mass of the object was determined to be the exact mass of the cot plus the mass of the subject's corpse, and testing indicates that the mass is indivisible and not composed of any atoms. Item classified as SCP-████. SCP-2017 has proven uncooperative with Foundation researchers and has not adjusted to containment. Most questions posed to SCP-2017 are met with blank silence, quiet crying, or requests to be reunited with its parents. SCP-2017's mother and father, Derek and Abigail ████████ of ████████, California, are the only two people known to the Foundation to have made physical contact with SCP-2017 and not suffer its anomalous effects. Medical records of the couple show that Abigail ████████ was diagnosed with depersonalization disorder in her early college years, was successfully treated, and has not had a relapse in over ten years. Derek ████████ displayed many commonly recognized risk factors of dissociative disorders1 and received psychiatric treatment similar to that recommended for dissociative disorders2 while never actually having a dissociative episode. SCP-2017's mother and father were aware of SCP-2017's properties and attempted to conceal them from notice from a group such as the Foundation. Interviewed: SCP-2017 Interviewer: Dr. Alexis Baxter Foreword: Dr. Baxter is one of the few Foundation personnel SCP-2017 will respond to. It is suspected this is the case because Dr. Baxter bears a striking resemblance to SCP-2017's mother. <Begin Log> Dr. Baxter: Hello, SCP-2017. I'm glad I get to talk to you today. SCP-2017: Hi, Doctor. I really wish you'd call me █████ Dr. Baxter: I'm sorry, SCP-2017. But we've been over this before and we can't do that. SCP-2017: Why? Dr. Baxter: Well…lots of people here are named █████! Why, there's a doctor in this very division named █████! We don't want to get mixed up, do we? You deserve to have your very own name that nobody else has. SCP-2017: Like a nickname? Dr. Baxter: Exactly. Now. I'd like you to tell me about what life was like before you came here. SCP-2017: Mommy and Daddy told everyone I was sick and if they touched me I'd die. But that wasn't true. If people touched me they acted funny. Dr. Baxter: Do you know what happened to them after they acted funny for a while? SCP-2017: Mommy said not to worry about it. Dr. Baxter: It must have been hard with just your mommy and daddy all the time. SCP-2017: shakes head Dr. Baxter: Really? SCP-2017: Mommy and Daddy would take me to the zoo and beach and stuff. They covered me up so people wouldn't touch me. Dr. Baxter Do you remember how you came to be here? SCP-2017: I was playing in the cul-de-sac with Jenny and Richie when the Alton boy hit me with his car. Mommy rode in the ambulance with me. She was glad they were there but she worried someone would touch me. I think that's what happened at the hospital. Then I was here. Pauses. Can I ask you a question? Dr. Baxter: Anything. And I will answer if I can. SCP-2017: Pinky swear you'll be honest? Dr. Baxter: Reaches across table and grasps SCP-2017's gloved pinky in her gloved pinky Absolutely. SCP-2017: Am I here 'cause I was bad? Dr. Baxter: Absolutely not. You're here so we can protect others from getting sick and protect you from others that might want to hurt you. We're doctors, and we study these sorts of things so we understand what's happening and can help you. SCP-2017 Then why can't I see my mommy and daddy? Dr. Baxter: Because it's still very dangerous. There are bad people out there that might hurt you or use you to do bad things because you're different. Worse, they might do that through your parents. When we can understand what's going on a bit more clearly, maybe that can change. SCP-2017: I guess. Dr. Baxter: Now, I'd like to talk to you about something you said the other day. SCP-2017: About the Other Place? Dr. Baxter: Yes. SCP-2017: I see it when I dream, and sometimes when I'm awake. It's different there. Everything is all lines and stuff, and things are simpler than they are here. No rules about when to go to bed or what to eat or what to say to grownups. I don't think there are any rules there at all. Dr. Baxter: Do you think this place is real? SCP-2017 Daddy said it was just a dream and dreams aren't real. But if it's not real, what about all the people there? Dr. Baxter: Well, sometimes people see things that aren't…Wait, what people? SCP-2017 They aren't really people. Or maybe they are, but they're not like us. They're really different. It's scary. I don't like them. I feel cold every time they pass through me. Dr. Baxter: They interact with you? SCP-2017: They what? Dr. Baxter: You can touch them? SCP-2017: Only when I see the Other Place and I'm not dreaming. Dr. Baxter: That's…very interesting. This is the first time you've told us this. When is that? SCP-2017: When someone touches me. <End Log> Closing Statement: Interview was terminated when Dr. Baxter expressed signs of surprise and alarm. As this was Dr. Baxter's first un-mentored interview with an anomaly, she was given a verbal reprimand before being allowed to contact SCP-2017 again. In light of SCP-2017's comments during this interview, we took readings of subjects' brain activity before and after contact with SCP-2017. The results show a marked distinction from all recorded human brain waves, normal and abnormal. I submit the hypothesis that subjects who come into physical contact with SCP-2017 do not suffer dissociative symptoms, but are actually overwritten by a foreign entity from this 'other place'. As we are receiving possibly hostile entities from an undisclosed location, I recommend that exposure testing with SCP-2017 be suspended. - Dr. Alexis Baxter Request denied. However, testing to support or debunk Dr. Baxter's hypothesis is recommended at this time. - O5-9 Footnotes 1. early childhood abuse, prior hallucinogen use, depression 2. Cognitive behavioral therapy and a year-long regimen of antidepressants ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2017" by MissMercurial, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2018 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2018 Special Containment Procedures: The area around SCP-2018 is to be fenced and security personnel are to monitor the area to prevent civilians from entering it. One D-Class personnel is to be sent inside SCP-2018-1 every month and brought back. Any experiments involving SCP-2018 and SCP-2018-1 must be approved by at least one Level 3 Researcher. Description: SCP-2018 is a space-time anomaly located near [REDACTED], Australia. Said anomaly consists of a rectangular space on a wall inside an abandoned warehouse. It appears for 1 hour, 7 minutes and 14 seconds once every 72 hours. On the other side is an alternate version of the Australian Museum, hereafter designated SCP-2018-1. SCP-2018-1 is located in the center of a floating, circular land mass approximately 5 km in diameter. On the edge of said land mass is a brick wall measuring 6 m in height covering the perimeter. Beyond this wall is a sky similar to that of the baseline universe that stretches in all directions for an unknown distance. It is unknown how this land mass floats. The infrastructure and general architecture of SCP-2018-1 are very similar to those of the Australian Museum. Several empty pedestals of varying sizes can be found throughout all floors. Further anomalous properties of SCP-2018-1 manifest when a living human subject enters it. After approximately 12 minutes, objects and living beings will appear on top of the empty pedestals, along with a metal plate containing text. Said objects and living beings have been determined to be related to significant memories of the human subject who entered SCP-2018-1. The first floors of SCP-2018-1 usually create objects and living beings based on memories of childhood and adolescence, while the upper floors usually create objects and living beings based on recent memories. These anomalous properties of SCP-2018-1 do not manifest if more than three human subjects enter it at the same time. It has been observed that the longer SCP-2018-1 goes without receiving any visitors, the faster its structures will wear down. It has been estimated based on the damages suffered by SCP-2018-1 on a given period that it would collapse if it does not receive any visitors for longer than six months. Of note is that should the visitors experience no strong emotions during their visit, SCP-2018-1 will retain its current level of damage. Addendum: Test Logs Foreword: Only the most significant results are written here. Level 2 access is required to view the unabridged logs. Test 1 Subject: Agent ██████ Results: A bath tub filled with water was created. Inside the bath tub was an unconscious, young human male of the same general physical characteristics as Agent ██████. Text: Those who raise their hands to strike an innocent child do not deserve their hands. Note: Agent ██████ claims that his older sister tried to drown him in a bath tub when he was 5 years old. Test 2 Subject: Agent █████ Results: An elderly Hispanic woman appeared, walked out of the pedestal and hugged Agent █████. The elderly woman was heard saying "thank you for saving me". She then returned to the pedestal and disappeared. Text: Saving someone's life is the same as saving a world. Note: Agent █████ claims to have prevented an elderly woman identical to that of the pedestal from being run over by a car. Test 3 Subject: Agent ████████ Result: A young boy, a television set and SNES video game system appeared. The young boy called out Agent ████████'s name to play video games with him. Agent ████████ climbed on the pedestal and played video games with the boy for half an hour. No source of electricity was seen during this time. Text: Sharing is caring. It's cheesy, but true. Note: Agent ████████ claimed that the boy in the pedestal was identical to one of his childhood friends, who let Agent ████████ use his video game system because Agent ████████'s family was too poor to buy one. Test 4 Subject: D-2018-01 Results: Several police officers appeared on multiple pedestals simultaneously and started firing at D-2018-01 with their pistols. Although the normal sound of pistols being used could be heard, no projectiles were fired. Note: D-2018-01 was put on death row for kidnapping, murder and drug trafficking. Test 5 Subject: D-2018-02. Subject was given a limited dose of Omega Class amnestic, which completely wiped his memories for the duration of the test. Subject was also accompanied by a guard. Result: Several cats and dogs appeared on the pedestal and started rubbing themselves around the guard's legs before returning to the pedestal and disappearing. Text: What did you expect? You can't make an omelet without eggs, you know. Note: The guard has owned several pets similar to those that appeared from the pedestal. Addendum-B: On ██/██/20██, an exploration team was sent to SCP-2018-1 to map the remaining floors of its structure. They reached a room on the top floor whose door had the message "To the exploration team: please come in". Upon opening the door, they entered a large room with a table containing several types of food and drinks. On the table was an elderly, overweight man in a light blue suit, who called out the team to eat with him. None of the Agents remembered ever meeting this man. He claimed to be the consciousness of SCP-2018-1 manifesting physically. The following is a transcript of the dialogue that Agent ████ had with the man, hereafter referred to as SCP-2018-1-A. <Begin Log> Agent ████: Who are you? SCP-2018-1-A: I am the museum. Please don't be shy, sit down and have something to eat and drink. Agent ████: What exactly do you mean with that? SCP-2018-1-A: By that I mean that I am the museum's genius loci, or protective spirit. I created this man to talk with you. I haven't had visitors in months, and I thought I would collapse. But now you are sending in visitors every month, which I am very grateful for. I figured I should have a little chat with you. It's only being polite, as I see it. Agent ████: How did this museum… I mean, how did you come to be? SCP-2018-1-A: Ah, you see, I used to be the genius loci of the actual Australian Museum. I was the one who helped the guards protect the halls and all the attractions. When one guard was about to fall asleep during work, I would poke his mind to wake him up, and things like that. In return, I would watch the visitors observe the attractions and absorb the energy of their emotions to sustain myself. I liked what I did. But as time passed, I started to wonder if I could do something other than watch people marvel at the things of the distant past, which had little relevance in the minds of many of today's visitors. Agent ████: And these thoughts inspired you to create this version of the museum? SCP-2018-1-A: Correct. Being the genius loci of such a large place with frequent visitors, I had a massive store of emotional energy inside me, which I hadn't thought of using until a certain day. It was then that I decided to leave the museum and create my own. Agent ████: How do you know what to create in order to inspire emotions? SCP-2018-1-A: I can read the thoughts and memories of anyone who enters the museum. Agent ████: Do you possess any other abilities? SCP-2018-1-A: No sir, that is all I do. Agent ████: Thank you. This is enough for the interview, unless you have anything more to say. SCP-2018-1-A: Yes. Please forgive your son. He might have disobeyed every thing you ever told him not to do, but he still loves you very much. And have this as a gift. You deserve it for doing your duties so well. (At this point in the interview, SCP-2018-1-A created a pug wearing a collar with the name "Fred". The pug then ran towards Agent ████, who shoved it away.) Agent ████: Did you just read my mind? SCP-2018-1-A: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to anger you, I just wanted to give you a gift! (Agent ████ and the rest of the exploration team then left SCP-2018-1. SCP-2018 was then locked down due to a possible information breach.) <End Log> ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2018" by DeviantDharma, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2019 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2019 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2019 is to be kept unconscious through the use of sedatives and fed intravenously. One brain must be left inside SCP-2019, and all others are to be removed surgically and then incinerated. Experiments involving SCP-2019 need the approval of at least one Level 3 Researcher. Description: SCP-2019 is a 5m x 5m x 5m sapient cubical organism composed of a green gelatinous substance held in place by a thick transparent membrane. SCP-2019's membrane is highly resistant to most forms of damage, and any parts that are removed from it grow back in a matter of seconds. On the lateral faces of SCP-2019 are 37 eyes. SCP-2019 is capable of moving these eyes around its membrane to see in all directions simultaneously. SCP-2019 is also capable of creating multiple tentacular appendages to allow mobility. The interior of SCP-2019 grows brains at a rate that depends on available nutrients. At current feeding levels, SCP-2019 grows one brain every two months. When awake, SCP-2019 displays the ability to cause physical objects and living beings to manifest. It is only capable of creating objects and living beings within its line of sight, and all these creations disappear once SCP-2019 can no longer perceive them. Addendum: Interview Log Interviewed: SCP-2019 Interviewer: Doctor ██████ Foreword: SCP-2019 usually communicates non verbally through the use of its abilities. Communicating through the creation of words seems to require enormous effort on SCP-2019's part. This interview took place shortly after initial containment. <Begin Log> Doctor ██████: Hello, SCP-2019. Can you understand me? (SCP-2019 creates a floating hand doing a thumbs up gesture.) Doctor ██████: I would like to ask you some questions, if you don't mind. (SCP-2019 creates a traffic light displaying a green light.) Doctor ██████: How would you describe yourself? (SCP-2019 creates a plate with plum pudding and a pile of paraffin.) Doctor ██████: Where do you originate from? (SCP-2019 creates a purple, floating sphere surrounded by several rings and three smaller spheres. SCP-2019 then creates a large magnifying glass and puts it between Doctor ██████ and the sphere. Several images in the magnifying glass are shown in quick succession. Multiple golden buildings connected by silver bridges can be seen. On these bridges are a large number of entities similar to SCP-2019, albeit orange in color and with only a single brain inside each one.) Doctor ██████: Is this your place of origin? Are these members of your species? Can you show us more? (SCP-2019 creates a floating hand doing a thumbs up gesture. The images in the magnifying glass change to what seems to be a lake beneath a bridge. An entity similar to SCP-2019 can be seen gathering a few objects around the lake and absorbing them into its body.) Doctor ██████: Is that you, SCP-2019? Are you searching for food? Why aren't you with the other members of your species? (SCP-2019 creates a floating hand doing a thumbs up gesture again. The images change to a close up of the interior of a building. SCP-2019 can be seen surrounded by other members of its species, who are pointing spear-like objects at it. In front of SCP-2019 is a machine shaped like an upright ring. The other members of the species force it to move inside the machine, which starts emitting a bright blue light. SCP-2019 walks into the light and disappears. The machine then stops emitting the light. The image changes to a close up of the streets of an unknown city on Earth. A sphere of blue light appears in the middle of a street and SCP-2019 emerges from it.) Doctor ██████: What does this mean? Were you banished from your place of origin? Why? (SCP-2019 creates a copy of itself and of a normal member of its species. Between them is a floating "does not equal" symbol.) Doctor ██████: You were banished from your place of origin because you were considered different from the other members of your species? (SCP-2019 creates a floating hand doing a thumbs up gesture once again.) Doctor ██████: Do other members of your species possess the same abilities as you? Can you do anything besides creating objects and living beings? (SCP-2019 creates a floating hand doing a thumbs down gesture. SCP-2019 then creates a man dressed similarly to Doctor ██████. This man then shrugs his shoulders.) Doctor ██████: What would happen to you if all your brains were removed? (SCP-2019 creates a grave marked with a drawing of an entity similar to itself.) Doctor ██████: Thank you for your cooperation. This concludes our interview. (SCP-2019 stretches one of its tentacle appendages and pokes Doctor ██████ in the left shoulder. SCP-2019 then creates a copy of Doctor ██████ and a machine of unknown purpose. The machine fires a laser-like beam at Doctor ██████'s copy, which transforms into a copy of SCP-2019. SCP-2019 then proceeds to touch its copy with its tentacle appendages.) Doctor ██████: I don't understand what you mean. (SCP-2019 shakes violently for several seconds before creating what appeared to be words made out of scalpels and test tubes. The meaning of these words could not be deciphered.) Doctor ██████: I am sorry, but I still don't understand you. I will come back later. (As Doctor ██████ is about to leave, SCP-2019 creates a chain around Doctor ██████'s ankle and attached to the ground, preventing him from moving away. SCP-2019 then approaches Doctor ██████ and creates several floating, stylized hearts. Doctor ██████ calls for security and SCP-2019 is successfully subdued. Investigation into the meaning of the words created by SCP-2019 is ongoing.) <End Log> ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2019" by DeviantDharma, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2020 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2020 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" 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. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2020" by Communism will win, from the SCP Wiki.

When MCF and Stuff happen A fun story of incompetence 1/2021 LEVEL 1/2021 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-2021 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2021 is contained inside an opaque container at least 30 cm x 20 cm x 10 cm. All instances of SCP-2021 must be accounted for, and logged if lost during experimentation. Description: SCP-2021 is the collective designation of 131 (formerly 140) sheets of U.S. Letter-sized copy paper, found inside a cardboard box labeled in permanent marker "single-sided paper, please hold by the sides, patent pending place for my stuff". The obverse sides of the sheets are normal white copy paper, and the reverse sides apparently "invisible" or otherwise empty space. Stacking the sheets one atop the other has no anomalous effect, and use of opaque storage containers has been successful in containing the sheets. Experiments 2021-01 - 03 Attending researcher Dr. Jaime Marlowe, D-14190, D-█████, one hamster Note: Prior to the experiment, Dr. Marlowe lost grip on a sheet of SCP-2021, causing it to land obverse-down onto a table. Instance could not be retrieved and no trace of the sheet could be detected Log 1: Dr. Marlowe places a sheet (with a strip of tape affixed to the edge to allow for easier retrieval) obverse-down onto a hamster placed on a table. Hamster remains visible, though shows signs of distress. Hamster crawls out from underneath the paper. Dr. Marlowe places the sheet reverse-down onto the hamster. The sheet flattens smoothly upon the surface, leaving no trace of the hamster. Dr. Marlowe carefully drags the paper along the surface of the table before lifting it again, successfully retrieving the hamster. Log 2: Multiple sheets of SCP-2021 are taped together and suspended with a wire from the ceiling of the testing chamber to create a larger opening. Two Class-D personnel, (D-█████ and D-14190) are ordered to stand opposite one another with the sheet between them; the person behind the obverse side could see the shadow of the individual before them, while the person behind the reverse side could clearly see the other individual. The individual on the reverse side failed to heed instructions and reached out into the "invisible" side of the paper, before quickly withdrawing their hand and making contact with the outer edge of the paper. D-Class experienced a mild paper cut but nothing else unusual. Log 3: The experiment was repeated with Dr. Marlowe and D-14190. D-14190, facing the reverse side, could see Dr. Marlowe on the obverse side. The two could communicate verbally without issue. After some time, D-14190 was ordered to reach out and grab a volumetric beaker located on the table next to Dr. Marlowe. D-14190 complied, reaching into the empty space and successfully retrieving a beaker. However, the beaker located next to Dr. Marlowe was untouched. Addendum 1: D-14190 sought medical attention, complaining that their arm "[felt] like it belongs to someone else". Psychological examination revealed nothing anomalous in the patient, though the symptoms described are consistent with agnosia.1 D-14190 also claimed to be unable to identify objects by touch using their right hand, consistent with astereognosis.2 It should be noted D-14190 used their right arm in the experiment with SCP-2021. Dr. Marlowe has noted a similar effect on her left-hand middle and ring finger tips. Addendum 2: Several weeks after the experiment's end, Foundation personnel reported the lingering smell of decomposition in the testing chamber used in the experiment. Two thorough cleanings were done, but failed to remove the odor. The chamber has been temporarily shut down pending further attempts to fully cover the odor. Footnotes 1. A neurological disorder characterized by an inability to recognize objects, sounds, shapes, or smells. 2. Related to agnosia, marked by an inability to identify objects based on touch. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2021" by AndarielHalo, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2022 | safe | SCP-2022 "BoraBora®". Item #: SCP-2022 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2022 is to be stored and organized within a pitch black biohazardous storage room at a controlled room temperature of 10°C. Prescribed use of the supplements must be approved by the site director and medical staff. Over-dosages must be reported immediately to on-site physicians. Overuse of SCP-2022 is prohibited outside of testing purposes. Description: SCP-2022 refers to a collection of pharmaceutical drugs, denoted on their packaging as "Sunlight Pills™", consisting of: 5,000 Pharmaceutical blister trays (10-day) in paperboard packaging. 775 cGMP-compliant 210L drum liners labeled with respective brand name. (192 Seychelles®, 296 BoraBora®, 287 Bahamas®). 31 plastic containers labeled "EXPERIMENTAL SUBJECT #00-30". 90 cGMP-compliant foil laminate bags labeled "WARNING: UNREFINED MATERIALS". SCP-2022 are [SR] gelatin capsules that compress and constantly emit electromagnetic energies similar to sunlight and contains other unknown active ingredients, two of which are labeled Lumen and Kelvin (K), based on the packaging. How the capsules are able to compress and contain "sunlight" into a measurable and administrative form are currently unknown, with chemical analysis of the compounds used in synthesizing the drug yielding no results. Ingested orally, 1 dose of SCP-2022 steadily supplies the body with healthy, daily amounts of Vitamin D for up to an average of 16 months (487 days). Subjects taking the supplement have reported feeling a gentle tropical breeze, scents of sea water, faint sounds of crashing waves, and a pleasant warmth within their bodies that fluctuate in intensity coinciding with the time of day,1 although the sensation varies depending on the subject's skin pigmentation level and the brand of supplement taken. Increased bone health, skin complexion, and hair growth, along with significant decrease in infectious and autoimmune diseases have also been documented, but these results remain under further investigation. SCP-2022's effects accumulate exponentially, with each dosage (depending on brand) taken consecutively, increasing the effects as well as introducing various other hazardous and anomalous effects. Overuse of the supplements increase this sensation, with the test group experiencing increased burning sensations in organs, development of photosensitivity, sunburn, inflammation, dim to intense bioluminescence, Hypervitaminosis D, vomiting, nausea, dehydration, decreased appetite, insomnia, constipation, fatigue, irritability, myasthenia, and metastatic calcification. Other severe cases have reported various forms of cancer, large kidney stones, hypercalcemia, xeroderma, actinic keratosis, polymorphous light eruption, cataracts, macular degeneration, immune suppression, abnormal vascular functionality, solar elastosis, 1st-3rd degree (internal and external) burns, invisibility from the visible spectrum, and [REDACTED]. Individuals with skin coloration classified as Type VI (35+) on the Fitzpatrick scale have been shown to suffer abated to nullified effects from taking the prescribed or overused dosage of SCP-2022, compared to Type I-V. Individuals with albinism, surprisingly, show the same resistance to the hazardous health-effects of over-dosage as well, but are more susceptible to the anomalous effects of invisibility from the electromagnetic spectrum, intangibility through translucent objects, intense glowing and emission of UV light and gamma radiation, and achieving temperatures surpassing [DATA EXPUNGED]. Pharmacy where SCP-2022 was obtained. ████, France. 07-23-20██ Addendum 2022-01: SCP-2022 was created by the now-defunct Sunset Laboratories, a pharmaceutical research and development lab owned by the company ████████ Pharmaceuticals, headquartered in ████, France. The drugs were discovered during a drug raid on the suspected pharmacy, which was abandoned overnight, revealing a hidden basement locked behind a high-security door. After the security door was breached and the basement laboratory inspected, it was revealed the lab was stripped clean of all physical and electronic documents and data. The lab was found to be connected to an underground tunnel network connecting to the l'Ossuaire Municipal in Paris, France, suspected to be the method of escape for the Sunset Lab employees. The drugs were confiscated by the DEA and were immediately turned over to the Foundation. No records related to Sunset Laboratories, its employees, SCP-2022, or the company ████████ Pharmaceuticals have been recovered since the raid, with investigations still ongoing. Addendum 2022-02: Slogan from the back of SCP-2022's packaging: "Moodiness, flaccid skin, looking dull, tendency to depression? Obviously you are in lack of sunshine! Our range of supplements restores the vitality you need. Sunset Laboratories offer a wide range of solar radiation, from Borabora to the Maldives, Haiti and the Bahamas. Just ask your pharmacist. Read the instructions carefully. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. These Solar supplements are not intended to be a substitute to natural exposure. Avoid abusive use." Brands of SCP-2022. Addendum 2022-03: Blister trays of SCP-2022 have been categorized into several product brand names, including: BoraBora®, Seychelles®, Maldives®, Bahamas®, and Haiti®, each having their own dosages of the active ingredients, Lumen and K. The Maldives® and Haiti® brands have not been found among the drugs collected, presumably unlabeled or non-existent. The packaging of SCP-2022 appear to be conceptual designs, lacking supplement/drug facts typical of FDA-approved OTC (over-the-counter) drugs. After extensive testing and experimentation with the drug, the Foundation medical staff has approved prescribed use of the supplements to Foundation personnel. The confiscated drum liners all contain the processed brand of drug supplement corresponding to their respective label. These were speculated to be drug barrels delivered to the pharmacy for pharmaceutical packaging. Given their abundance and consistency to their packaged form, these drugs are allowed to be used in place of the blister trays for testing and experimentation purposes only. The 31 bottles collected all contain various unit dosage forms of the supplement, several of which have unique drug-delivery systems. The dosage forms include: tablets, caplets, powder, solid crystal, liquid suspensions, thin films, topical cream, deodorant, pastes, balm, otic and ophthalmic drops, vaginal rings, transdermal patches, and various suppositories. All units contain a weakened incarnation of the drug meant for experimentation purposes. Due to the scarce supply available and possible risk-factors, experimentation with these unit forms is not allowed at this time. The foil laminated bags contain unrefined and unstable versions of the supplement. The unrefined supplements have high brisance, and are extremely sensitive to detonation, the explosive velocity of 1 capsule reaching up to [REDACTED]. Being unrefined materials, taking this form of SCP-2022 is not recommended by any means. Following the events documented in Incident 2022-SOLAR-12, pill-splitting or any other invasive methods are strictly prohibited, and all foil bags of SCP-2022 are to be contained separately from the other instances of SCP-2022. Footnotes 1. The time of day is based on the current timezone of the isles each brand is named after. This has no effect on subjects' sleep cycle. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2022" by Bucell, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-2022.

SCP-2023 | safe | Item #: SCP-2023 Special Containment Procedures: A perimeter is to be established around the hillside area surrounding the origin point of SCP-2023. Security personnel assigned to the containment of SCP-2023 are to maintain the guise of a team of archaeologists overseeing a historical excavation and restoration process. Any unauthorized persons attempting to enter the perimeter are to be turned away with the explanation of keeping the area undisturbed. Description: SCP-2023 is a localized phenomenon that occurs approximately 7 km from the city of Enna, Italy. SCP-2023’s point of origin is a cave located near the banks of a small lake surrounded by hills and cliffs; the cave appears to only be visible if approached on foot. SCP-2023 consists of the spontaneous appearance of various wildflowers at the mouth of the cave, spreading outwards a distance of 2 meters and apparently growing directly out of the surrounding stone. The most numerous species include white asphodel (Asphodelus albus) and various types of narcissus including poet’s narcissus (Narcissus poeticus), angel’s tears (Narcissus triandrus), and wild daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus). Close inspection reveals that the flowers are not composed of organic material but rather thinly-cut and delicately-arranged precious gemstones. The jeweled flowers produced by SCP-2023 disintegrate if touched, and disappear after a period of 2 to 3 days (roughly 48 to 72 hours). No remains or traces are left on the ground when the flowers disappear. Though SCP-2023 occurs intermittently and unpredictably, a significant variant of the phenomenon has been observed yearly at the onset of the autumn season. SCP-2023’s range will extend to approximately 5 meters, and the flowers will be accompanied by non-native lesser batwing butterflies (Atrophaneura aidoneus). Both will remain until snowfall begins in the mountains of the surrounding province (Sicily). At the advent of the first frost, any wind that passes through the area will trigger vibrations in the flowers, resulting in the gems producing melodic tones similar to human vocalizations. This anomaly will cease by the next morning. Addendum SCP-2023-1: Though the cave of SCP-2023’s initial manifestation has been investigated, no significant interior features (e.g. tunnels, caverns) have been discovered beyond the cave’s entrance. However, the rock wall facing the cave opening was noted to possess the following inscription (translated from Greek), carved into the stone face: This is the only life I can hope to offer Lend me your smile and tears awhile You outweigh the long days of darkness Beloved, dear queen, please continue to return. The gates to the world below will always open to you Whether you enter or leave them. Additionally, small fragments of metal were found scattered on the cave floor. Lab analysis indicated the metal to be high-purity iron. Addendum SCP-2023-2: On 17 July 2003 at midday, SCP-2023 manifested only one jeweled species of flower, common hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis). Throughout the late afternoon and early evening, native butterflies of various species were noticed carrying small sprigs of thyme to the entrance of the cave. The herbs disappeared after nightfall. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2023" by Zyn, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-2023.

SCP-2024 | safe | Item #: SCP-2024 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2024 is to be stored in a 1 m by 20 cm by 5 cm case lined with packaging foam molded to fit SCP-2024's shape. A tube of packaging foam with one open end is to be fitted around SCP-2024's handle such that the handle is covered completely. Personnel are not to hold SCP-2024 by its shaft while SCP-2024 is active. SCP-2024's tag is to remain attached while SCP-2024 is in storage and during normal testing. If the tag is removed for special testing, personnel are to wear protective sunglasses and lead-lined bodysuits. Personnel who are adversely deformed by SCP-2024 are to be given localized injections of bismuth subsalicylate until stable. Efforts are to be made to contain POI-2024-05. Description: SCP-2024 is a lacquer-finished wooden cane, 89 cm in total length, with a handle 16 cm long. The shaft of the cane is painted red, while the handle is painted with swirling patterns in various shades of yellow, red, and green. A circular paperboard tag, designated SCP-2024-1, is tied to SCP-2024's shaft by a strand of cotton string. SCP-2024-1 is 8 cm in diameter by 1 mm thick and is unusually durable. SCP-2024-1 features a clown's face printed in magenta ink on one side, and the letters "HF" printed in blue ink in an elaborate script on the other side, as well as a short message around the edge (See Document-2024-01). When a human subject holds SCP-2024 by its handle while SCP-2024-1 is attached, SCP-2024 enters an active state. This is marked by a series of dots appearing along the shaft. Each dot is 0.75 cm in diameter, separated from each adjacent dot by 2 cm, and emits 10 candela of warm yellow light. Light emitted by the dots appears to hang in mid-air, trailing behind the motion of SCP-2024 before fading after roughly 5 seconds. Letting go of the handle deactivates SCP-2024. In its active state, the shaft of SCP-2024 can be inserted into or passed through any solid object as though it has become intangible. Slight resistance is encountered when inserting SCP-2024 into dense materials such as lead and moving objects. Letting go of SCP-2024 while it is inserted into an object causes it to forcibly eject itself, as if by a spring-loaded mechanism, before deactivating. Even while active, the shaft of SCP-2024 remains tangible to SCP-2024-1 and its string. SCP-2024 can manipulate the molecular structure of solid objects. While SCP-2024 is inserted into an object, the matter of the object will trail along behind the motion of SCP-2024. SCP-2024 makes the object's structure significantly more elastic; the matter stretches and bends to follow SCP-2024's movements as though it were a viscous liquid being stirred. No matter is created or destroyed in the process. SCP-2024 only affects solid matter within a 2 cm radius of its surface. Matter that leaves this radius will immediately return to its normal physical properties. Separate objects of different compositions can also be mixed together, blending them at the molecular level. It is difficult to return an object to its original state once it has been altered with SCP-2024. If SCP-2024 is activated with SCP-2024-1 removed, the light emitted by its dots increases in intensity to roughly 2000 candela each. When operated in this state, SCP-2024 moves autonomously, driving the user's hand and moving of its own accord to insert itself into objects and human subjects at random. This matter manipulation appears to be of malicious intent; it is unknown, however, if SCP-2024 is sapient. Results on living organisms from manipulation without SCP-2024-1 are usually fatal. However, introduction of substances with high molecular density — i.e. trans-lanthanide elements — to the deformed areas has proven somewhat effective in stabilizing them. SCP-2024 was recovered in Belle Plaine, Minnesota, following reports of an adolescent male's death from severely deformed neural and facial tissue. SCP-2024 and SCP-2024-1 were secured separately from the deceased's friends. They claimed to have won SCP-2024 in a contest at a carnival in the fields outside of town. Investigation found the fields in question to have been hastily abandoned, with evidence strongly supporting the presence of Group of Interest "Herman Fuller's Circus of the Disquieting" in the area. Document-2024-01: The following message loops around the edge of the blue side of SCP-2024-1. FULLER-THAN-FULL MIXING ROD (RED). THIS TAG MAY NOT BE REMOVED UNDER PENALTY OF LAW EVEN BY THE CONSUMER. PLEASE CALL █-███████-██-█ FOR QUESTIONS. Addendum: After a phone capable of dialing the antiquated number format given on SCP-2024-1 was acquired, Dr. Jacobs was assigned to inquire about SCP-2024 and was given a basic script. A man identifying himself as Gary Gorham (now designated POI-2024-05 for his presumed anomalous status) answered. <Begin Log> (Significant background noise is noted, including bells, horns, diesel engines, animal vocalizations, and a distant calliope.) POI-2024-05: Hey hey, thanks for calling H. F. Prize Support! This is Gary Gorham and I'd be delighted to answer any questions you might have about… (There is a two second pause.) …the Fuller-Than-Full Mixing Rod! Excellent win! Dr. Jacobs: Hello. I acquired this object secondhand, and I do have several questions about it. POI-2024-05: Ask away. Dr. Jacobs: What is the purpose of the… Mixing Rod? POI-2024-05: The Mixing Rod is great for sculpting and other creative expression! It's easy to use but tough to master — aren't all arts, though? It's used best in public display, just how our greatest showmen do. Dr. Jacobs: How— er, by what means does it function? POI-2024-05: Ah, we've got a scientist here! (He moves away from the receiver and shouts to someone on his end.) Hey guys, got a scientist on the line! (Cheering is heard in the background. POI-2024-05 returns to the call.) The Mixing Rod is powered by body heat and a firm grip. It's got eyes, doc. And don't remove that tag, or they'll see. Dr. Jacobs: So who constructed it? POI-2024-05: That would be the Sur-Prizers here at HERMAN FULLER'S CIRCUS OF THE DISQUIETING! (Three instances of cannon fire are heard in the background.) Dr. Jacobs: Is it meant to be used by civilians? POI-2024-05: Oh, sure. They get 'em as prizes, then we have public-entry art contests! And sometimes if the entries are good enough, we hire 'em! Dr. Jacobs: The sculptors, you mean? POI-2024-05: The entries! (A loud metallic ringing, likely from a bell pressed directly against the receiver, is heard.) Ow! (POI-2024-05 shudders, exhaling roughly.) Oof, haha, always gets me… Well, I've got another call incoming, doc. Feel free to call back later if you have any more questions about the Fuller-Than-Full Mixing Rod. Or take one step through the doorway and come see me live in the Hall of Humans Extraordinaire. I'm Gary Gorham, master of telephonesis! (He laughs.) Okay, bye bye. (The call immediately cuts to the sound of a steady heartbeat. After twenty seconds, Dr. Jacobs ends the call.) <End Log> ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2024" by DrBerggren, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2025 | euclid | Two D-Class during testing within SCP-2025-A Item #: SCP-2025 Special Containment Procedures: Shipping and transport companies are to be passively dissuaded from routing through SCP-2025-A. In the rare event of emergent photographs or other media regarding SCP-2025, disinformation campaigns are to dismiss them as failed viral advertising for an unspecified American insurance company until the media can be collected and destroyed. EFFECTIVE 15/04/2011: Deep-water drilling efforts are to continue despite complaints of dangerous working conditions and personnel mistreatment. Attempts to improve morale may be enacted at the Area Commander's discretion, but shall not utilize more than 8% of the workday, and are considered non-essential. Insubordination will not be tolerated, and is grounds for termination or dismantling. Description: SCP-2025 is the abstract concept of humanity within a conical region centered at -64.███°, -140.███° in the Southern Pacific ocean. This region (hereafter SCP-2025-A) extends from a point in the Mohorovičić discontinuity of the Earth's mantle to just beyond the upper Ionosphere (cross-sectional radius approximately 33.8 km at sea level). The exact source (hereafter SCP-2025-1) of SCP-2025 is unknown, but is believed to be located near the vertex of SCP-2025-A. The nature of SCP-2025 is such that any animate1 object within SCP-2025-A (including but not limited to humans, amphibians, [REDACTED], and remote controlled drones) contains the metaphysical property of "humanity." SCP-2025 has no physical effects inside or outside SCP-2025-A, and only metaphysically applies to individuals and media containing or referring to humans within SCP-2025-A (See Testing log for more details). SCP-2025 is not retained when an individual leaves SCP-2025-A. An updated list with descriptive details of affected objects is available on-site upon request from Research Assistant Optiplex 990-239A. Amnestics, distance from SCP-2025-A, and varying definitions of "what it means to be human" have no effect on the applicability of SCP-2025. Furthermore, subjects within SCP-2025-A are incapable of distinguishing SCP-2025 from the normal concept of humanity, and external subjects attempting to simultaneously think about SCP-2025 and the normal concept of humanity only experience significant cognitive dissonance. For these reasons, SCP-2025 is believed to encompass the underlying reality within SCP-2025-A, rather than simply influencing the perceptions of subjects. + Testing Log SCP-2025 vs.15-03-2009, - Close Testing Log SCP-2025 vs.15-03-2009, Abridged The Following Testing Logs are presented unaltered and may exhibit SCP-2025's effect: Test #: 25 Subject: D-0814 Time: 13:35 — 16/07/2009 Location: Testing area aboard the F.S.S Mark Twain, 1 km outside SCP-2025-A. Test: Subject presented with a randomized series of images taken inside and outside SCP-2025-A. Result: Subject correctly identified all images of the following objects outside of SCP-2025-A: One (1) brushed-metal canteen Twelve (12) Number-2 pencils One (1) analog wristwatch and one (1) digital wristwatch One (1) remote-controlled quad-rotor drone, with attached camera. An image of the open ocean One (1) black-and-brown spotted dog, swimming in the ocean Subject also correctly identified all images of the following objects, taken within SCP-2025-A: One (1) brushed-metal canteen Twelve (12) Number-2 pencils One (1) analog wristman and one (1) digital wristwatch One (1) remote-controlled quad-rotor human, with attached camera. An image of the open ocean One (1) black-and-brown spotted human, swimming in the ocean Test #: 26 Subject: D-0814 Time: 14:45 — 16/07/2008 Location: Testing area aboard Ms. Twain, ~30 km from center of SCP-2025-A. Test: Same as previous Results: Same as previous. Test #: 45 Subject: D-0854, convicted of 5 gang-related murders, as well as numerous other gang-violence charges. Time: 13:35 — 05/08/2008 Location: Testing area aboard Ms. Twain, ~30 km from center of SCP-2025-A. Test: Subject placed in testing area with four (4) caged Sprague-Dawley lab humans. Result: D-0854 paced quietly for approximately 15 minutes before clearing his throat and saying "so what are y'all in for?" ostensibly directed at the lab humans. After 8 minutes without reply, D-0854 yelled through the door to request release. Testing concluded after a further 30 minutes of idle activity. Test #: 49 Subject: D-0854, convicted of 5 gang-related murders, as well as numerous other gang-violence charges. Time: 13:45 — 06/09/2008 Location: Testing area aboard Ms. Twain, ~30 km from center of SCP-2025-A. Test: Subject placed in testing area with four (4) caged Sprague-Dawley lab humans. Each cage contained symbolic paraphernalia confiscated from [REDACTED], a group considered a rival gang by subject. Result: D-0854 became increasingly agitated over the course of 10 minutes and then screamed "You [Expletive]s think you can just [Expletive] ignore me?" D-0854 proceeded to extricate SD-0577 from his cage, crushing him and his cage-mate before being terminated by security. Note: D-0854, SD-0577, SD-0578 have been buried at sea in accordance with Foundation "Disposal of Human Cadaver" guidelines. Test #: 135 Subject: D-0930, convicted serial-killer. Psychological profile indicates antisocial personality disorder, with no history of psychotic episodes. Self-professed "dog-lover." Time: 13:35 — 15/01/2009 Location: Testing area aboard Ms. Twain, ~30 km from center of SCP-2025-A. Test: D-0930 placed in testing area with one (1) restrained black-and-brown spotted human. Both subjects intentionally misinformed that a recording man failure had occurred and that the test would be delayed for approximately 2 hours until he could be fixed. Hidden surveillance-men remained active. Result: D-0930 sat, listening at the door, for approximately 10 minutes. Subject then stood, said "Well, if we're going to be alone for a while," and approached restrained subject. Using the restraints, D-0930 began [REDACTED], (since confirmed to be an approximation of his previous modus operandi). Testing halted 2 minutes later by security personnel. Both subjects were returned to quarters unharmed. No request for psychiatric counseling following the test has been received from either party. + Addendum: Status Report 27/06/2008: - Addendum: Status Report 27/06/2008 In the wake of ongoing deep seismic activity at the [REDACTED] fault line, measurements indicate that the cross-sectional radius at sea level for SCP-2025-A has begun increasing at a rate of [DATA REDACTED]. Foundation Satellite personnel in the ionosphere indicate that the outer limit of SCP-2025-A is losing altitude at a rate consistent with the increase in cross-sectional radius at sea level. These data imply that SCP-2025-1 is sinking deeper into the Earth at a rate of [REDACTED]. If this descent continues, SCP-2025-1 is expected to become unreachable with current Foundation technology by July, 202█. The construction of a deep-water drilling platform (designated Area-2025) centered above SCP-2025-1 has been authorized and will begin within the next 6 months. Update 19/04/2010: Construction of Area-2025 has completed █ months behind schedule. Former Geology Department Head Dr. ████ Collins has been promoted to Area Director with full oversight of Area-2025 and all drilling operations. Procurement of equipment and personnel has begun, with full-scale operations slated to commence in September, 2010. Update 18/08/2010: Area Director Collins reports that equipment requests have been erroneously fulfilled with additional technical personnel. Full-scale operations delayed until February, 2011. Update 17/09/2010: Veterinary and IT personnel at Area-2025 deemed unnecessary and relocated due to lack of relevant work. Request for additional medical personnel filed. Update 16/11/2010: Area Director Collins reports that equipment requests have been erroneously fulfilled once again with additional technical personnel. Full-scale operations delayed until May, 2011. Update 16/01/2011: Veterinary and IT personnel reinstated at Area-2025. Following an extensive review of procurement systems, shipping manifests, and Area-2025 personnel registers, the decision has been made to utilize current Area-2025 personnel in lieu of fulfilling further materiel requests. Full-scale drilling operations to commence in February, 2011. Update 15/04/2011: In light of repeated delays and his apparent inability to grasp the effects of SCP-2025, Area Director Collins has been reassigned to the position of Drilling Operations Director for Area-2025. [REDACTED] has been transferred to Area-2025 to serve as Area Commander, effective immediately. Full-scale operations to commence in May, 2011. Update 14/11/2011: Measurements indicate that SCP-2025-1's rate of descent has held steady at [REDACTED] despite calmed seismic conditions. Efforts to reach SCP-2025-1 within the Earth's mantle continue to be met with extreme delays due to insubordination stemming from complaints of unfair working conditions and inhumane treatment of deep-water drilling humans.

SCP-2026 | safe | Item #: SCP-2026 Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-2026 may be kept in a standard containment locker at Site-20. Instances of SCP-2026-1 must be kept in wooden boxes without lids in a containment cell at the same Site, with direct exposure to standard lighting. Experiments involving SCP-2026 must have the approval of at least one Level 3 Researcher. Description: SCP-2026 refers to a collection of mouthwash products, labeled on their packaging as “Wilson & Wong’s Fun Size History." Currently, 135 bottles are possessed by the Foundation. Analysis of the chemical structures of the packages and the mouthwash itself reveals no detectable anomalous properties. Fifteen flavors of SCP-2026 have been identified by the Foundation; ten of these flavors have names corresponding to past human civilizations, while five flavors have names referring to fictional literary civilizations. SCP-2026’s anomalous properties will manifest when utilized for mouth-washing by a human. Approximately 2 hours after use, one of the user's teeth will fall out, with no apparent pattern to the specific tooth selected. After three days, the lost tooth will regrow itself in the subject. Over the next seven days, the fallen tooth will suffer a transformation. Sections of the tooth will gradually be converted into a varying number of small, sapient human figures made out of the pulp and enamel. This phenomenon will only occur if the affected subject regularly practices good dental hygiene. If not, the transformative process will cease after several days. These figures (hereafter designated SCP-2026-1) will begin to build complex architectural structures out of the affected tooth. The nature of SCP-2026-1 and the structures depends on the flavor of SCP-2026 used. Instances of SCP-2026-1 are capable of speaking, writing and reading in language corresponding to the flavor's civilization. Instances of SCP-2026-1 will continue to build more structures out of any nearby solid materials, including plastic, concrete, steel, glass, paper and electronic devices. Instances of SCP-2026-1 will not build structures out of any living tissue. In addition to human flesh, the only other material encountered so far which is not converted by instances of SCP-2026-1 is wood, which has proven effective at preventing the expansion of SCP-2026-1. Instances of SCP-2026-1 will form complex societies and take up roles common to the corresponding civilization, such as merchants, workers, nobility, clergy, scientists and politicians. Currently there is no known limit to how many times SCP-2026 may be used to produce its effects, although it should be noted that SCP-2026 may only be used once every two months by any given individual. Observation has indicated that SCP-2026-1 are seemingly incapable of perceiving humans. Any interaction with SCP-2026-1 by humans seems generally to be perceived by SCP-2026 as a form of divine intervention by a God or a higher being. Should instances from different civilizations be allowed to interact with another, the resulting interactions are highly varied and seemingly random, ranging from total harmonious coexistence to constant warfare between instances. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2026" by DeviantDharma, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2027 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2027 Special Containment Procedures: A space-based telescope under Foundation control is to observe SCP-2027 at all times. If SCP-2027 is detected by satellites, it is to be dismissed as an asteroid. Class-C Amnestics are to be dispersed to terrestrial astronomers that detect SCP-2027. If any data demonstrating the existence of SCP-2027 is published, data must be seized and Class-A Amnestics dispersed to all readers and authors. Unmanned Probe ██A-2027 is to remain within 5,000 km of SCP-2027 at all times, and is not to enter any area within 1,250 km of SCP-2027. Description: SCP-2027 is a spacebound organism of extraterrestrial origins. Current estimates place SCP-2027 at between 200-350 km in length and 100 km across. SCP-2027 maneuvers using several jets of gas on each end of the body. Gas emitted by SCP-2027 appears to be made up of a mix of hydrogen, methane, and argon. SCP-2027 lacks a primary propulsion method, and is propelled entirely by its own inertia. As of █/█/██, SCP-2027 has been confirmed to be made up of several zooids, similar to Siphonophores such as Physalia physalis, or the Portuguese man o' war. Each zooid appears to perform functions such as propelling SCP-2027. SCP-2027 is covered in a hard exoskeleton that is made up of several hundred individual flat zooids. The number of gas jets on SCP-2027's exoskeleton has not been determined, with as many as 40 observed at times. SCP-2027 feeds on strong concentrations of gamma radiation. On █/██/████, when radiation from gamma ray burst 130427A reached SCP-2027, SCP-2027 ceased all activity and began spinning slowly. An increase in movement speed was noted 4 days later. SCP-2027 appears to be traveling directly parallel to the Solar System's orbit around the galactic center. However, between 19██ and 19██, SCP-2027 changed course slightly ██ times. SCP-2027 was detected by the [REDACTED] Gamma Ray observatory on ██/█/19██, when it eclipsed the [REDACTED] Pulsar. The complete lack of gamma radiation near SCP-2027 was logged into public record. Foundation agents dispensed Class-A Amnestics to all researchers who had come in contact or were aware of the data. SCP-2027 is currently 0.02 light years from Earth. Current projections show no risk of SCP-2027 impacting Earth or any other body in the Solar System. SCP-2027's closest approach to the Solar System will be 0.009 light years if no course corrections are made. Addendum #1: On █/█/20██, a Foundation-operated probe launched on █/█/19██ rendezvoused with SCP-2027. However; when the probe entered a zone 100 km over SCP-2027's body, Probe ██A-2027 was struck by a powerful gas jet, damaging the probe's docking claw. Probe ██A-2027 has since been ordered to remain in a 5,000 km orbit above SCP-2027. Addendum #2: On █/█/20██, SCP-2027 split into ███ parts and reassembled itself after █ hours. SCP-2027's speed has been noted to have risen by ██ m/s at this time. Addendum #3: On ██/█/200█, A large sphincter opened on SCP-2027's side and a large mass of matter was jettisoned. A thin appendage extended from SCP-2027 and connected to the mass of matter designated SCP-2027-1. 3 weeks later, jets of the same gas emitted from SCP-2027 was emitted from SCP-2027-1 and the appendage was disconnected. SCP-2027-1 then accelerated away from SCP-2027 in the direction of the galactic center. Addendum #4: On █/██/20██, Probe ██A-2027 has detected multiple sporadic emissions of argon, methane, and hydrogen from the areas SCP-2027 has passed through. These signatures are of compositions identical to SCP-2027's maneuvering jets. Note: These creatures may be native to the high-radiation regions in the center of the galaxy. What we are witnessing now may be a migration of sorts. -Dr. █████ ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2027" by DrLucan, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2028 | safe | Item #: SCP-2028 Special Containment Procedures: Site-91 has been built around the affected house of ████ ██████. Instances of SCP-2028 may be kept in a standard containment locker at Site-20. Experiments involving SCP-2028 must have the approval of at least one Level 3 Researcher. Description: SCP-2028 is a collection of 258 empty snow globes. The words "Remove the negative emotions and thoughts from your mind, with your friends at The Oneiroi Collective.1 Do not use more than three times per 30 days. In case of emergency, DO NOT BREAK THE GLASS." are written on the underside of each instance of SCP-2028. Analysis of the structures of the instances reveals no anomalies. The anomalous properties of SCP-2028 manifest when one or more human subjects enter REM sleep within 4 meters of an instance. The subject will invariably experience a vivid nightmare. Upon waking up, the subject will feel an intense sensation of relief. For the following three days, the subject will report an increase in happiness and willingness to participate in social situations. The instance used will be filled with images from the subject's nightmare. If picked up and shaken for more than 3 seconds, the subject will experience brief, random hallucinations related to the nightmare. Sleeping next to a used instance yields no results. Should the phrase "please reset" be spoken within 4 meters of a used instance, the images will disappear and it will manifest its anomalous properties again if used. Using an instance of SCP-2028 more than three times every 30 days causes damage to it in the form of cracks appearing on the glass. If an instance is used approximately 6 times in a 30 day period, or if it is broken through impact, a 2028-Alpha event will occur immediately. This event consists of a local restructuring of reality of varying size surrounding the broken instance. Said restructuring measures 250 m² on average and strongly resembles the events and physical laws found inside the nightmare "stored" inside the broken instance. Almost all 2028-Alpha events have disappeared after a number of hours equivalent to those of the subject's sleep duration. SCP-2028 was found when ████ ██████, a farmer on [REDACTED], accidentally broke a used instance. The entirety of his house was affected by a 2028-Alpha event. The farmer reported that he often had nightmares about being considered inferior due to not receiving a proper education. Due to the immobile nature of the affected structure, Site-91 was built around the house. The following anomalous phenomena are found within it: The majority of the structure lacks any color beyond black and white. Several books of varying nature appear and disappear randomly. Should a book be picked up, it will become animate, manifest tooth-like growths and attempt to bite who is holding it if they do not finish reading it. Several lockers similar to those found in schools fill one of the structure's corridors. If they are opened, they will reveal random contents normally found inside school lockers. However, any notebook will be filled with text complaining about bullying or having to study. Any animals that enter the structure will either be transformed into an object or picked up by a human arm which will appear from a nearby surface and drag the animal inside said surface. None of the animals that have disappeared in this way have been found. Several humanoid entities resembling students, teachers, janitors and security guards will perform activities related to their profession. However, the entities often have anatomical features replaced with objects such as mops, pens, chalk, books and chairs. They will communicate solely through low pitched gibberish. An individual identical to the farmer will randomly appear inside the structure and walk aimlessly through the halls. The humanoid beings who find him will point at the farmer and call other humanoids, who will gather and laugh at the farmer. A humanoid entity will wander the house shouting ████ ██████'s name and talking to itself. It resembles an adolescent male carrying a red backpack, but with his fingers replaced with pens. This is the only being found inside the structure that is capable of clear communication. It identifies itself as J███ ████████, a close childhood friend of ████ ██████. This entity is incapable of perceiving ████ ██████'s copy. Addendum: On ██/██/19██, the first test involving SCP-2028 is attempted. The D-Class subject used in the experiment is selected due to having the same phobia as ████ ██████. The used SCP-2028 instance was broken inside a controlled environment. This resulted in a 120 m² 2028-Alpha event which disappeared after 8 hours. Further tests with D-Class personnel possessing various phobias were also attempted, and all 2028-Alpha events were temporary. Research on what may have caused the 2028-Alpha event triggered by ████ ██████ to become permanent is ongoing. Addendum B: Interview Log Interviewed: J███ ████████, referred to as "J" in this interview. Interviewer: Doctor ██████ <Begin Log> Doctor ██████: What is your name? J: I'm J███ ████████. Who are you? Have you seen ████ ██████? He looks like me, but is taller and has short blonde hair. Doctor ██████: I am Doctor ██████. Don't worry, I have seen him and he is fine. J: Thank God. I thought I would never hear about him again. No one here speaks anything but gibberish. Doctor ██████: Could you tell me more about yourself? You seem to be the only one inside here that can communicate clearly. Why do you think you are like this? J: I'm not sure. Maybe all those other people didn't mean much to him, so everything they say becomes meaningless. As for myself, all I know is that I was somewhere that was very different from here. Then I heard the sound of glass breaking and I came here. Doctor ██████: What was your place of origin like? How do you feel here? J: I don't know. It was bright and dark at the same time, and I felt like this warm, wet blanket covered me all the time. I could sometimes see and hear things that I couldn't understand, and that was it. Everything here seems to be so much more real. I know that might sound obvious, but it was a huge change for me. I guess it was like some kind of child birth. I can see, hear and touch everything now. It's kind of scary, to be honest. Doctor ██████: What else do you know about this place? J: I can't leave. I've found all the exits in this place, but some kind of invisible wall doesn't let me or those other people leave. That is all I know, I swear to God. Doctor ██████: What is your relationship with ████ ██████? J: He was my best friend, and as far as I know, I was his only friend. We would talk to each other about our problems and feelings and hung out a lot. Doctor ██████: Thank you for answering the questions. Is there anything else that you would like to say? J: Yes. If you find ████ again, please tell him that no one is better than him just because they have a diploma. He is still a wonderful person that cares a lot about his family, and that's all that matters. Doctor ██████: I will do that. <End Log> Footnotes 1.

SCP-2029 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2029 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. Addendum 2029-1: An excerpt from Dr. Apth's report detailing a simulated scenario in the instance that SCP-2029-2 breaks containment. Estimated time since breach Replication and production of SCP-2029-2 Scenarios three hours X10 PPM Emergency containment protocol in effect. Area damaged. No adverse atmospheric reactions predicted.

SCP-2030 | keter | close Info X SCP-2030: LAUGH IS FUN by PeppersGhost. Click here for more work by this author! ⚠️ Content warning: This work of fiction involves scenes which depict or allude to topics which may be particularly distressing for some readers. Please scroll for a list of such topics contained in this piece. Body horror Car accident Cancer Childbirth Death Gore Torture Violence Readers with particular sensitivities should also be aware that this story also depicts or alludes to the following subjects which are less prevalent among content advisories, but nevertheless have the potential to be disturbing: Force-feeding Non-human birth Oral violation (non-sexual) Physical restraint Skinning Stomach rupture Mutation Margaret Thatcher ⚠️ content warning SCP-2030 manifesting on a popular on-demand video streaming site. Still frame from hidden camera footage of SCP-2030-1 revealing itself. Item #: SCP-2030 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation-operated web analysis bot Delta-09 ("LAUGHSTOP") is to be kept in constant operation and checked for defects twice a week by a Level-2 staff member familiar with its operation. When functional, the bot will search a wide range of file sharing and video streaming websites for SCP-2030 and remove any manifestations discovered. Finding and isolating SCP-2030's point of origin is considered a Delta-Level priority. Efforts to locate the studio where SCP-2030 is filmed are ongoing. Description: SCP-2030 is an anomalous phenomenon that manifests as a television series. The medium through which SCP-2030 manifests changes depending on the most popular format currently in use; as of 2014, SCP-2030 most commonly inserts itself into automated DVD rental kiosks, file sharing websites, and paid on-demand video streaming services. Prior to 2012, SCP-2030 commonly manifested as a DVD set in video rental stores, and as VHS tapes prior to 2003. Thus far, no reliable evidence that SCP-2030 manifestations took place prior to the year 1993 has been discovered; however, thirty-eight (38) seasons of programming are known to exist, implying that SCP-2030 has been active to some degree since 1976. The series' title typically appears as Laugh is Fun, although variations on this name, such as Laugh is Life or Laugh is Laugh, are not uncommon. The series has no corresponding "box art"; it mimics art from other television series, often causing viewers to select it mistaking it for another program. The show is a hidden camera comedy series, showcasing the candid responses of various people to bizarre, disturbing, and often anomalous situations. Episodes usually run between 10 and 12 minutes, and feature introductory and closing segments that bookend the hidden camera footage. No episode to date has had an end credit roll. SCP-2030-1 is a (presumably) human adult male that serves as the show's host, providing introductory and closing commentary as well as appearing to "victims" to reveal that they are being filmed for a television series. SCP-2030-1 is invariably shown wearing a royal blue three-piece suit with black and white wing tipped shoes. Due to the way in which scenes are filmed, SCP-2030-1 is only seen from the neck down, making identification difficult. It refers to itself as "Laughy McLaugherson". Individuals appearing on the show often react to the events that they witness with panic or distress, but appear immediately calmed upon the appearance of SCP-2030-1. This is true even when the individual in question has sustained significant bodily harm or witnessed a particularly traumatic event. Additionally, most recorded individuals seem to express some degree of familiarity with SCP-2030-1, with some claiming to be fans of the show. Research into whether SCP-2030 uses its viewership as its victim selection pool is ongoing. Episodes follow a particular theme that each prank segment alludes to. SCP-2030-1 introduces these themes at the beginning of each episode in an as-of-yet unidentified film studio whilst standing atop a bright yellow stage decorated with oversized geometric shapes of various colors. Episode themes vary from the mundane, such as 'the beach', 'pets', and 'candy', to the strange and violent, such as 'mail fraud', 'arson', and 'terrorism'. SCP-2030-1 delivers a similar speech at the end of each program to close out the show. At the end of each episode, the camera pulls back and around from SCP-2030-1's stage to show the studio audience, which usually comprises the individuals featured in the episode. During this time, the words 'Filmed in front of a studio audience. Created in partnership with YWTGTHFT' are superimposed over the footage in white text. Research into the identities of the people featured in the show's prank segments has revealed that they are all persons who were officially documented as having died or gone missing in the year they appeared on the program. Thorough investigations into the deaths of SCP-2030 participants have revealed a number of inconsistencies and contradictions in matters concerning the circumstances of the deaths. Additionally, exhumations of the individuals' remains have revealed that all recorded participants' bodies are currently missing. The general consensus among researchers assigned to SCP-2030 is that victims are likely abducted after their use in the show, with their disappearances covered up when possible. However, no concrete evidence connecting the individuals' deaths with SCP-2030 besides the show's footage has yet been found. +Addendum -Addendum Addendum: The following are examples of pranks featured on the program. Season: 24 (2000) Episode theme: Swelling Individuals involved: Macey Gersham and Kyle Parker – killed by a hit-and-run driver on 09/18/00. Scene description: An elderly woman sits on a park bench, feeding nearby pigeons with seed from a bag. Gersham and Parker, a couple, walk down a park path and approach the woman. Once the two come within approximately 1.5 meters of the elderly woman, a swarm of pigeons fly into the elderly woman's mouth, causing her stomach to become severely engorged and quickly rupture. The couple express great distress at the event until SCP-2030-1 emerges from the elderly woman's open stomach cavity, at which point Gersham and Parker appear relieved. Season: 21 (1997) Episode theme: Margaret Thatcher Individuals involved: Doris Carter – died of ovarian cancer 02/24/97. Scene description: Mrs. Carter walks into her kitchen and opens a cabinet door, out of which falls a large mass of flesh. As Carter screams, the mass grows and shapes itself into a severely disproportional facsimile of former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Margaret Thatcher, with its head twice as large as its torso. Carter rushes to leave the room, but the Thatcher creature leaps onto her before she can escape. It extends its tongue into the woman's open mouth, and Thatcher faces of various sizes begin appearing across Carter's skin. The faces proceed to recite Thatcher's April 1986 speech on the bombing of Libya in perfect unison. SCP-2030-1 climbs out of a nearby cupboard and points to the hidden cameras; Mrs. Carter smiles, the creature's tongue still extended down her throat. Season: 13 (1989) Episode theme: Squirrels Individuals involved: Melissa and Travis Englund – disappeared, last seen 05/12/89. Scene description: Mrs. Englund lies in bed next to a male figure, presumably Mr. Englund. A series of high-pitched squeaking noises are heard, and Mrs. Englund is awakened. She tells her husband to wake up, but he does not respond. She places her hand on his shoulder, but quickly draws it back with a shriek. His skin begins to undulate, as though something is moving underneath. A multitude of squirrels then burst from various places on his body, quickly filling the bed and crawling onto the woman. She rises to leave the room, but SCP-2030-1 walks in and turns on the light. He is accompanied by Mr. Englund, who has been skinned from head to foot but gives no indication of feeling any discomfort. All three share a laugh and the segment ends. Season: 13 (1989) Episode theme: Tracheotomies Individuals involved: Gary Turman, Lindsay Turman, and their children – died in a vehicular accident on 04/28/89. Scene description: The four sit around a dinner table eating a meal. Mr. Turman begins coughing and gasping for air, as if choking. As the others at the table begin to panic, a pair of slits appear on Turman's throat, allowing him to breathe. These slits quickly become nostrils, which rapidly grow into a full nose, which in turn becomes an entire second head, identical to Turman's original. This second head then sprouts a neck of its own, and the entire process repeats. This continues until eighteen necks and heads have sprouted from the original, at which point SCP-2030-1 steps out from underneath the table. Everyone present erupts into raucous laughter, including all nineteen of Mr. Turman's heads. Season: 37 (2013) Episode theme: Cephalopods Individuals involved: Rebecca Nash (surgeons unidentified) – died of complications in child delivery on 11/02/13; hospital records show no evidence of anomalous activity during birth. Scene description: A team of obstetricians perform a caesarian section procedure on Ms. Nash, who is in labor. The team comment on the size of the child's cranium and the amount of hair present on it. Several minutes into the procedure, a doctor makes an exclamation of surprise and drops an instrument on the floor. Muffled vocalizations can be heard in the background. The rest of the staff begin to panic as the head emerges unassisted from Nash, causing her a great deal of pain. The child's head can be seen to resemble that of American television presenter Ryan Seacrest. The child sings Row, Row, Row Your Boat in a female voice as it continues to exit the mother. As more of its form emerges, the child can be seen to have the body of a fully grown octopus (Octopus vulgaris). Once the child fully exits Nash's body, it continues to sing as another head begins to emerge. Three more children are produced in total, with the heads of celebrities Jack Nicholson (American film actor), Johnny Cash (American singer-songwriter), and Martin Freeman (British film actor), respectively, all with similar octopus bodies. Together, the four sing Row Row Row Your Boat in four part harmony. SCP-2030-1 walks into the room and the show's jingle plays. SCP-2030-1 points to the hidden cameras in the room, prompting the obstetricians and Nash to begin laughing. The creatures on Nash's torso continue to sing. Nash then loses consciousness, presumably from blood loss. The following is a transcription of a typical speech delivered by SCP-2030-1 during one of the show's closing segments: Season: 32 (2008) Episode theme: Printers Transcription: Ha! What a ride, eh, folks? We've seen printers that eat, eaters that print, and everything in between! Makes you appreciate the old clunker you have back the office, doesn't it? No, printers may not always work when you want or need them to, but they sure make for some excellent comedy. And that's what we're about here: comedy. We're here to make you laugh. We hope you laughed. Thank you for laughing with us. That's what we're about here, doesn't it, folks? Come laugh with us again next time! And remember: LAUGH … IS … FUN! Good night! And laugh! And laugh! Just laugh! We love the make laugh. Make more for laughter so as to for laugh. Laugh with us. Laugh with us. (Studio audience joins in unison) Laugh with us! Laugh with us! Laugh with us! Laugh with us! Laugh! Laugh! Laugh and let us in! Note: Video cuts off abruptly and a black screen is displayed for thirty seconds. Laughter and soft, wet noises can be heard in the background before the program ends. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2030" by PeppersGhost, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2031 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2031 Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-2031 shall be contained at Site-2031-A. Instances of SCP-2031 identified outside containment will be neutralized by MTF-Theta-88 (“Crazy Buggers”) with incendiary devices and chemical saturation with fipronil, bifenthrin, and/or permethrin. Areas of these occurrences will be surveyed periodically to detect any reappearance of SCP-2031 and re-treated as necessary. The property boundary of Site-2031-A shall be secured by 6m tall electrified fencing topped with barbed wire. A “safe zone” will be maintained for 100m within this fenced perimeter, kept free of debris and undergrowth, and kept under 24 hour video surveillance. The inner perimeter of the safe zone will be defined by a concrete-lined trench with vertical walls, 10m wide and 4m deep, filled with a 50% solution of chlorine bleach no more than 2m deep. No permanent structures are to bridge this trench, and any plant growth extending over it must be trimmed back. The 127 acre area enclosed by the trench is the “active zone” where all SCP-2031 instances are contained. Foundation monitoring stations for Site-2031-A shall be located in the safe zone. No vertebrate animal massing more than 15kg is to enter the active zone outside an approved experiment. Description: SCP-2031 are anomalous colonies of Eciton burchellii (“army ant”) that to date have not been seen outside the active zone of Site-2031-A. Examination of the individuals comprising an instance of SCP-2031 have not provided any consistent genetic or morphological identifiers to distinguish them from non-anomalous Eciton burchellii. Experiments releasing non-anomalous Eciton burchellii colonies into Site-2031-A have shown that the introduced specimens will begin showing anomalous behavior associated with SCP-2031 within 20 to 40 days within the active zone. It is unknown if the transition to SCP-2031 is due to an anomalous effect peculiar to Site-2031-A, exposure to SCP-2031, or is a heretofore undocumented learned behavior. Investigation is ongoing. Until its anomalous behavior manifests, a SCP-2031 colony will behave normally for Eciton burchellii and other examples of New World army ants. Colonies will contain up to 2 million individuals, containing a variety of specialized individuals along with a single queen. They will undergo nomadic phases when the entire colony is mobile and forages for food. When they nest in a non-anomalous fashion they form a “bivouac,” linking each other’s bodies together to form a large ball with a complex internal structure, typically in a burrow or a hollow tree. SCP-2031 manifests its anomalous behavior when a colony encounters a vertebrate prey animal massing greater than 20kg during a nomadic foraging phase. Unlike a normal swarm of Eciton burchellii, SCP-2031 will send columns of soldiers to climb the prey animal and demonstrate what appears to be tactical behavior and an understanding of the prey’s anatomy. Columns of thousands of soldiers will climb the prey, massing along the spine and lower extremities. Soldiers will defer any actual attack of the prey until a significant number are in position, at which point all the soldiers will simultaneously bite through the skin and attack the spinal cord and the ligaments in the prey’s lower extremities. An SCP-2031 instance has successfully immobilized a 1000kg Angus Bull in less than five minutes in this manner, the majority of that time spent by soldiers getting into position. Animals massing less than this are subdued in a correspondingly quicker manner. Once the prey animal is immobilized, the remaining colony of SCP-2031 will mass around it, and the soldiers will burrow small openings into the extremities. The remaining colony will follow the soldiers and burrow inside the animal’s body. Unlike other carrion-eating insects, SCP-2031 will not immediately attack the soft tissues and mucus membranes (mouth, eyes, rectum, etc.) seeming to prefer the host to live as long as possible. SCP-2031 will not burrow into the animal’s major organ systems until it has expired, usually from dehydration. SCP-2031 will leave intact the prey animal’s hide and skeletal system as it nests within the carcass. When SCP-2031 again initiates a nomadic phase, it will move the entire carcass in apparent imitation of the animal’s normal behavior. This mimicry will continue as long as the carcass’s hide and skeletal system maintains structural integrity. The hides of these carcasses seem to undergo slower decay than is typical, possibly due to enzymes released by SCP-2031. Studies are ongoing to determine if this is anomalous or a natural product of Eciton burchellii infestation. Site-2031-A consists of a farm and pasture land located 150km northwest of [REDACTED] in [REDACTED]. Upon containment, twenty-seven separate instances of SCP-2031 were observed on site inhabiting various carcasses: 15 Bos primigenius taurus. 9 adult female, 2 adult male, 4 juvenile. Colonies designated SCP-2031-1A through SCP-2031-1O 5 Equus ferus caballus. 4 adult female, 1 juvenile. Colonies designated SCP-2031-2A through SCP-2031-2E. 3 Sus scrofa domestica. 1 adult male, 2 adult female. Colonies designated SCP-2031-3A through SCP-2031-3C. 1 Canis lupus familiaris. 1 adult female. Colony designated SCP-2031-4A. 3 Homo sapiens sapiens. 1 adult female, 1 adult male, 1 juvenile. Colonies designated SCP-2031-5A through SCP-2031-5C Addendum 1: Incident report I-2031-5 + Incident I-2031-5 - Incident I-2031-5 Document# I-2031-5 Date: 7/15/19██ SCPs Involved: SCP-2031-5A, SCP-2031-5B, SCP-2031-5C, SCP-2031-4A Location: Site-2031-A Description: For several months Foundation observers had cataloged the various behavior patterns of SCP-2031, with particular attention to the three colonies mimicking human activity. Beginning at dawn, both SCP-2031-5A and SCP-2031-5B would typically perform various actions common to animal husbandry; watering the “livestock,” dispensing feed, moving other SCP-2031 colonies from one pasture to another. While SCP-2031-5C would often assist in these chores, several hours a day it would spend with SCP-2031-4A and engage in several different dynamic behaviors including mock wrestling and the throwing and retrieving of various objects. On the morning of 7/15/19██ SCP-2031-5C attempted to engage in its typical interaction with SCP-2031-4A, when the hide containing the SCP-2031-4A colony suffered several structural failures. As a result, SCP-2031-4A abandoned the carcass and resumed foraging behavior typical to a mobile colony of Eciton burchellii. SCP-2031-5C ignored the SCP-2031-4A colony and continued to prod the remaining carcass in an apparent attempt to revive it. SCP-2031-5C continued this behavior until SCP-2031-5A and SCP-2031-5B observed it and approached. At this point, SCP-2031-5B lifted SCP-2031-5C and held it off the ground, removing it from the site. SCP-2031-5A then retrieved a shovel from the barn and buried the carcass. Approval is granted for the introduction of one 25kg Golden Retriever into Site-2031-A. – Dr. T.

SCP-2032 | keter | Item #: SCP-2032 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2032 is to be kept in a standard humanoid cell in Site-06-3. Four (4) armed guards are to be posted outside of SCP-2032's cell at all times to prevent false information from being planted in his belongings. All requests made by SCP-2032, within reason, are to be accepted pending review and written consent of a Level 3 Researcher. Newspapers documenting recent world events are to be delivered to SCP-2032's containment cell daily. SCP-2032 is to be given two (2) 16mg capsules of Galantamine daily, provided with the morning and dinner meals. At approximately 8:30 every morning SCP-2032 is to be given a 100mg subcutaneous injection of Anakinra. Provided that joint inflammation does not restrict movement, SCP-2032 is given two hours daily of physician approved exercise and socialization with the staff of Site-06-3 so long as he is accompanied by a nurse. Following a mild stroke SCP-2032 is on a mechanical ventilation apparatus and is confined to a wheel chair and is no longer allowed to leave his containment cell. The cell has been refurnished with life support equipment. Description: SCP-2032 appears to be an elderly man of Middle Eastern origin. His true age and ancestry are not currently known, although plausible records would indicate connection to the ████████ Caliphate circa ███ - ███ CE. Although SCP-2032 has an apparent inhuman longevity, his physical and mental health are estimated to have begun deteriorating with age several decades prior to coming into Foundation Custody. SCP-2032 is currently receiving daily treatment for moderate Alzheimer's and mild dementia, along with physical therapy for arthritis. SCP-2032 is now also undergoing speech therapy following a stroke (The cause of which is detailed in Addendum 2032-A). The main anomalous quality of SCP-2032 is that his memory directly affects the general public's historical recollection. As SCP-2032's memory begins to fade, numerous branching opinions on historical events, consisting of conflicted accounts or other inaccurate information, appear. This loss goes so far as to directly alter historical texts as well. SCP-2032 has written several journals to keep his memory accurate.2 There is a theorized safe zone from the reality altering effects of SCP-2032's memory for any documents or persons within three meters of him. Additionally, as time passes and the event becomes less current, it is considered to have reached SCP-2032's long-term memory in which the public may not be informed but scholars and historians are. When information passes from this stage of memorization it is considered lost. Following the discovery of the 'safe zone' within SCP-2032's presence, newspapers and other information are placed in the containment cell until they can be more appropriately archived. A team of Foundation archivists now works daily to write down SCP-2032's recollections, starting with the farthest memories. The journals in which these events are kept are locked in a safe inside SCP-2032's cell to prevent the loss of this information. The general global opinion and knowledge of recent world events creates new memories for SCP-2032. These recollections have been described to researchers as hazy at best, requiring outside information for accurate clarity. While an event is happening yet not understood, mostly being speculation or rumors, SCP-2032 likens it to recalling a dream. SCP-2032 will gradually gain more clarity around this event, causing knowledge to become public. Despite the impact on his mental health, SCP-2032's knowledge of an event is not what causes the public reaction. As more cultural factors affect the private understanding collective areas have of an event, the psychological reaction on SCP-2032 becomes apparent. SCP-2032 is on a daily regimen of medication to ward off the ongoing symptoms of his mental deterioration. At the current rate of deterioration, it is predicted that in ██ years all written history prior to 685 CE will be lost. Ongoing research is currently underway on how to slow this degradation, and if possible reverse it. Requests to utilize SCP-500 have been denied due to the likelihood of reversing the amnestics used to remove traumatic events from SCP-2032's memory. In the time following his stroke (See Addendum 2032-A) numerous protests and conspiracy theories became widely spread among the public until SCP-2032's condition stabilized. The hypothetical effects of any further potential damage to SCP-2032's memory could lead to a theoretical CY-class global government destabilization scenario, including a loss of all written and remembered accounts of human history. Despite the continual deterioration of his mental state, SCP-2032 does not seem to age on the cellular level. Through DNA testing it has been confirmed that SCP-2032 does not suffer from telomere shortening, and has not visibly aged in the decades since his initial containment, it has been proven theoretically probable that SCP-2032 has reached his oldest biological age already and will not continue to age further. It has been discovered manipulating the memory of SCP-2032 will alter the knowledge of events for the public, but cannot alter the actual series of events. All facts are changed to what SCP-2032 remembered, anything that happened to contradict these facts still happened yet cannot be acknowledged by humans. Following critical containment failures SCP-2032 is given selective amnestics and implanted with false memories to skew the public recollection of events. All O5 ordered historical alterations are written, with a copy of documentation of the original events locked in a safe kept in SCP-2032's vicinity, in case it is ever deemed appropriate to revert the changes. Any staff personnel found to implant false information into SCP-2032's mind will be interrogated as to the purpose of their alteration and subsequently terminated. The log of SCP-2032's initial interview follows : Interviewed: █████ ███ ████, henceforth SCP-2032 Interviewer: Dr. Lucan Foreword: Subject contacted Foundation personnel claiming to be an anomaly, after asking █████ authorities for protection. After considerable testing to verify his claims, an interview was approved. <Begin Log, April ██, 19██ 10:25AM> Dr. Lucan: Mr.████, if you can recall, how and when did your abilities initially manifest? SCP-2032: Abilities? Eh, the memories… the memories were always perfect. Always, all records matched what I recalled.. [SCP-2032 takes a noticeable pause] SCP-2032: The Caliph, █████ ███ ███████, asked me personally to be his historian. Bastard could not remember which wife warmed his bed each night. This was long ago yes? I don't know the date. We never.. I do not remember it. Still, my mind is strong, and will remain strong, inshallah. I was overjoyed yes, I could have anything in the East I desired. I could say anything I wish, bastard Caliph would not even know. But I was honest, all throughout. Dr. Lucan: Please focus on the details pertaining to your abilities. SCP-2032: [Long pause] I cannot remember my birth. What man can? At some point, the memories begin to stick, and you cannot forget. A man comes to your house, demands tribute and your father refuses. He beats him with a stick. Your father complains to the shariff, and bastard does nothing. No one cares about these things, but still you remember them more clearly than you remember important things. At some point, the memories always stick. Dr. Lucan: And what made you desire to contact the Foundation? SCP-2032: Bastard men, snakes the lot of them, sharply dressed and clean-shaven. They came to me one day. They ask me to work for them. I refused, politely of course, and they tripled their offer, as if the money was all that mattered. I notice them following me for days after. Sometimes one man, sometimes many. Sticking to me like shadows. Dr. Lucan: So you came to the Foundation to request Asylum? SCP-2032: God willing, yes. I can think of worse fates. <End Log, April ██, 19██ 10:55AM> Closing Statement: SCP-2032's request to enter Foundation custody has been granted, following the interview he was transported to Site-06-3. The initial log of tests to determine the scope of SCP-2032's abilities follow: Test Effects Remarks SCP-2032 is asked at length about several historical battles he claims to have participated in. All information provided proves to be accurate without exception, even so far as the position of the constellations during the night. While SCP-2032 may struggle to recall these details, he is exceedingly correct. His physical condition and accounts of the battles are deemed enough to verify his claims. SCP-2032 is given selective amnestics to test the scope of his ability to alter the recollection of events that others posses. All personnel who were not in the testing room forgot the events in question. SCP-2032's abilities are confirmed to have a limited 'safe zone'. SCP-2032 is given a minor selective amnestic to forget the battle of ███ █████ All documents portraying the events of the battle, save for those contained in a safe immediately near SCP-2032, are rendered blank. Historians questioned about the battle claim no such skirmish ever happened matching those details. SCP-2032's memory appears to be a direct "master" copy of history. Whenever he forgets something it is effectively erased. Addendum 2032-A: On 11/6/1963, immediately following the self-immolation of Thích Quảng Đức at the apex of public opposition towards the Vietnam War, SCP-2032 had a moderate stroke. SCP-2032 was given class-B selective Amnestics and implanted skewed facts to lessen public outcry, preventing a worsening of his condition. Addendum 2032-B: To prevent further complications to SCP-2032's health, like those in 2032-A, O5 has approved selective amnestics to be given to SCP-2032 for any global events which may cause public outcry or mass hysteria. Footnotes 1. See Paragraph 5 2. Following the events of Addendum 2032-A a dedicated team of researchers now transcribes SCP-2032's recollection of world events for Foundation Archives. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2032" by Vorcha, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2033 | safe | Closeup Image of SCP-2033 during Test 2033-████. Item #: SCP-2033 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2033 is contained at Site-101. SCP-2033 has no special nutritional requirements, and may be cared for in an identical fashion to a normal sugar maple specimen. No pieces of chewing gum are to be applied to SCP-2033 outside of approved testing. SCP-2033's containment chamber is to be subject to audio recording at all times. Description: SCP-2033 is a sugar maple tree (Acer saccharum) measuring approximately 5m tall, with its trunk measuring approximately 0.2m in diameter. SCP-2033 displays the normal annual patterns of a non-anomalous tree, although it has not been observed to grow in size since its discovery in 1984. Analysis of SCP-2033's DNA shows no abnormalities. On SCP-2033's trunk are several pieces of used chewing gum in various stages of decomposition. Analysis reveals these to be chemically identical to normal chewing gum. At an average rate of three times per day, one piece will separate from SCP-2033 and inflate into an instance of SCP-2033-1. SCP-2033-1 appear as bubbles of chicle rubber which display neutral buoyancy in air. Upon creation, instances measure between 10cm and 15cm in size, and increase in diameter at a rate of approximately 10cm per minute. Upon reaching approximately 50cm, instances of SCP-2033-1 will burst, producing a characteristic sound through unknown means. The sounds are invariably five to ten second clips of a woman (identified as E████ M█████) singing various arrangements from musical plays produced in the United States. No cognitohazardous effects of these sounds have been reported. A new piece of gum will appear on SCP-2033 approximately one hour after each SCP-2033-1 manifestation. Any piece of used chewing gum which is attached to SCP-2033 is subject to its anomalous properties. Although it is possible to remove samples from individual pieces, complete removal has proven impossible. SCP-2033 was discovered following an impact event on 2/15/1984, in which an object resembling [DATA EXPUNGED] crashed into Site-101's Anomalous Object Laboratory. Further information regarding the event is available to personnel with Level 4 Clearance As of ██/██/1985, SCP-2033 is contained at Site-101 and is classified as Safe. Addendum: Incident 2033-Alpha Open File Access Granted Timeline of Incident 2033-Alpha 1/12/1984: Foundation operatives at the ██████ █████ Observatory in ███████, New Mexico detect an object resembling [DATA EXPUNGED] in low earth orbit. 1/14: Discovery is confirmed by ██████ █████ Observatory in Chile. 1/19: Analysis of the object's trajectory is undertaken. 1/21: Trajectory is found to indicate orbital decay. Area-55's Astronomical Division transfers case to Site-19 Extranormal Event Mitigation. 1/22: Preliminary report into event is drafted. 2/1: Request is submitted to neutralize object with an Alpha-17 Missile. Request Denied. 2/2: Reentry date calculated to be 2/15. 2/10: Reentry location calculated to be above Arizona. Order is given to observe reentry from Site-101. 2/15: 0155: Object passes mesopause. 0203: Fireball is observed at a later time than expected. Altitude is approximately 55km. 0205: Object remains intact, despite reentry forces. Altitude is approximately 40km. 0208: Object's trajectory is altered via unknown means. Object now on course to collide with Site-101. Altitude is approximately 30km. 0210: Shelter in place order is given to Site-101. 0213: Object impacts Site-101's Anomalous Object Laboratory. 0330: Shelter in place order is lifted. 1115: Body of Agent Peter Lennard is discovered in debris. 1204: SCP-2033 is discovered. Incident 2033-Alpha demonstrates that the dangers associated with cross testing SCP artifacts may also extend to items classified as merely anomalous. The properties of AO-4805, one of the anomalous objects that was destroyed in the incident, appear to be related to SCP-2033's properties. It therefore is reasonable to theorize that an interaction between AO-4805 and the object which impacted Site-101 produced SCP-2033. As such, I suggest that Anomalous Items be included in regulation requiring Level 4 approval of all cross testing. Dr. ███ Denied. It is still unclear if SCP-2033 was created by Incident 2033-Alpha, or if the object which impacted Site-101 was, in fact, SCP-2033. Until you can present direct evidence of your theory, Level 3 approval will remain sufficient. O5-█ Addendum: Memo Regarding E████ M█████ E████ M█████'s death, though apparently non-anomalous in nature, coincided with Incident 2033-Alpha. As the nature of the sounds produced by SCP-2033 already inexorably link her to the object, Ms. M█████ can now be classified as a Person of Interest (deceased) under directive POI-58q. In addition to this, up until this point, all evidence connecting Ms. M█████ to GOI-984 has been purely based on the now discounted testimony of R█████ L█████ Sr.. SCP-2033's connection to her, however, is likely more than a coincidence. This evidence draws into question both of the two theories currently proposed for SCP-2033's origin. First, the theory that the object which impacted Site-101 was SCP-2033 is extremely improbable due to the connections to both AO-4805 and E████ M█████. The alternate theory, that an interaction between the impact object, AO-4805, and Ms. M█████ produced SCP-2033, is also unlikely. Such an interaction between three objects at the same time has never been noted to occur. Based on this information, I hereby propose that we conduct additional research into SCP-2033 to determine a more likely scenario for its creation. - Dr. Charles █. ██████ ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2033" by Waterfire, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2034 | keter | close Info X SCP-2034: Tussaud's Delusion Author: AndarielHalo Eat more of my SCPs. Eat them all. Also please eat some of these Anabasis Hub Probably the greatest story involving a pair of redheaded siblings whose infighting causes the end of the world Manna Charitable Foundation 2000 The sequel to the above, collaborationed with Dr Reach The Stuff Industry What happens when everyone around you at work is a complete idiot and so are you, but not only does no one get fired, but you actually turn a profit? I don't know, some stuff. When MCF and Stuff happen A fun story of incompetence 3/2034 LEVEL 3/2034 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-2034 Special Containment Procedures: Due to the poorly understood nature of SCP-2034, containment at this time is impracticable. Foundation assets and personnel assigned to SCP-2034 are instead to be focused on monitoring outbreaks of SCP-2034 occurring among private citizens, and administering amnestics as needed if and when SCP-2034's effects cease. In the event of a highly public SCP-2034 occurrence (as in the case of a celebrity or other public figure), MTF Upsilon-89 ("Nobodies") are to take measures to minimize the affected individual's public exposure, if practicable, until such time as SCP-2034's effects cease to affect the individual. Following the cessation, Foundation personnel are to monitor online discussions relating to SCP-2034 and, in cooperation with manufacturers of video and photographic equipment, engage in a disinformation campaign to "normalize" reports of SCP-2034 as much as feasible. Furthermore, Foundation assets assigned to SCP-2034 are to cooperate with major media outlets to suppress certain movies/TV shows/video clips involving minor celebrities affected by SCP-2034. "Out of print" copies of these movies/TV shows are to be purchased from resellers and third-party merchants if practicable. Foundation agents online and working with mental health professionals are to produce fabricated studies and encourage certain individuals of the authenticity of "Tussaud's Delusion" as a cover for continued public observances of SCP-2034-A instances. These measures are to be executed in coordination with containment procedures meant to limit public exposure and physical media of SCP-2034-A instances.1 Description: SCP-2034 is a phenomenon in which a number of individuals2 cease to be perceived as living beings by digital media, such as photographs and video recordings. Affected individuals are instead depicted as an inanimate puppet or "dummy", to be labeled SCP-2034-A. It is unknown whether SCP-2034's effects are sensory or memetic as instances of SCP-2034-A are not identified by sight alone. It is unknown when SCP-2034 was first discovered, as ██ previously unrelated or misappropriated occurrences have been ascribed to SCP-2034 after the fact. The first live instances of SCP-2034-A confirmed took place on ██/██/20██, when security footage of a hall at Site-██ depicted an inanimate mannequin moving jerkily across the frame. The time and location indicated Dr. ████████ Blair to have been passing through the hall at that time. Dr. Blair apparently had no knowledge of SCP-2034's effects. Note: See Incident 34-1 Further instances of SCP-2034-A began to come to the attention of the Foundation, either as they were discovered or ascribed after the fact, predominately involving celebrities and/or public officials.3 Additional instances of SCP-2034-A were continue to be positively identified through photographs and video recordings, including footage dated as far back as 1900. Incident 34-1: At some point between ██/██/2010 and █/██/2011, actor ███████ █. ████████, who had previously been positively confirmed as an instance of SCP-2034-A, ceased to display the effects of SCP-2034. All photo/video footage of the actor depicted a non-anomalous ███████ █. ████████ where previously the image of a ventriloquist dummy was identified. An interview conducted with Mr. ████████ yielded nothing anomalous, either to individuals on the scene or in security footage taken during the interview. Following the incident, previously confirmed instances of SCP-2034-A were reviewed again by Foundation personnel. Of the reviewed photographs and video footage, 45% no longer displayed the effects of SCP-2034. Additionally, new instances of SCP-2034-A were discovered in previously disqualified footage. Due to the lack of information regarding SCP-2034's effects, it is unknown if individuals previously affected can become affected once again, or if certain individuals' effects are permanent. As such, a listing of confirmed instances of SCP-2034-A is restricted to personnel assigned to SCP-2034 only. Addendum: After ██ years of monitoring, a rough timeline of SCP-2034's effects has been established. Of those observed, all but one have experienced a cessation of SCP-2034's effects over a period of 4 - ██ years. The sole remaining case is that of British actress Tobritza Pemberton (1896-1950), whose works continue to display the effects of SCP-2034. MTF Upsilon-89 began to notice a sharp increase in online searches for "Tobritza Pemberton", "Toby Pemberton wooden", and "vintage dummy actress", as well as torrents of Ms. Pemberton's surviving films, all displaying the effects of SCP-2034. Due to the lack of change in the anomaly, the Foundation launched a concerted effort to seize all surviving physical copies of Ms. Pemberton's films, (including original negatives and copies, home video releases, and as many home-recorded copies as possible) and suppress all information of Tobritza Pemberton. - Beginning on ██/█/2012, Foundation agents began to infiltrate British governmental agencies to remove all records and references (including birth, census, contracts, [REDACTED]) to Tobritza Pemberton. Other records were altered to remove or otherwise re-appropriate references to Tobritza Pemberton to female ancestors of picked Foundation agents. - Surviving friends and family members were administered varying classes of amnestics, removing all memories of Ms. Pemberton's occupation. Family photo albums and home videos were briefly confiscated to allow for manipulated duplicates to replace the originals. - Attempts to track and delete digital copies of Ms. Pemberton's films were generally ineffective, necessitating action to discredit the supposed authenticity of the films still in circulation. Foundation agents began taking over seeding torrents of the films under new titles and including fictitious introductory credits attributing the voices of Ms. Pemberton's characters to lesser-known voice actresses. As of 2014, the number of torrents bearing the fictitious names outnumber the original torrents by ██%. Footnotes 1. Doctor's Note: This is in no way an effective or permanent solution, short of amnesticizing much of the world's population. All actions taken in containment are designed to limit the exposure of SCP-2034, and to eliminate any potential patterns from becoming publicly known. 2. Estimates based upon random population observations put the number at between 0.00086% and 0.███% of any given population 3. Note: This is likely due to the highly public nature of such individuals, rather than any coherent connection between public officials and SCP-2034. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2034" by AndarielHalo, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2035 | euclid | close Info X SCP-2035: Instant Animals Author: AndarielHalo Eat more of my SCPs. Eat them all. Also please eat some of these Anabasis Hub Probably the greatest story involving a pair of redheaded siblings whose infighting causes the end of the world Manna Charitable Foundation 2000 The sequel to the above, collaborationed with Dr Reach The Stuff Industry What happens when everyone around you at work is a complete idiot and so are you, but not only does no one get fired, but you actually turn a profit? I don't know, some stuff. When MCF and Stuff happen A fun story of incompetence 1/2035 LEVEL 1/2035 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-2035 Special Containment Procedures: MTF Xi-9 ("Monkey on the Lamb") has been created and tasked with acquiring or otherwise destroying all newly encountered instances of SCP-2035. Fully grown instances are to be detained under the guise of potential risk of contagion to humans. Secured instances of SCP-2035 are to be kept in Site-141's Zoological Research center, locked in Freezer Unit 18B when not undergoing testing. Fully grown instances, hereafter referred to as "subjects", are to be kept in specially designated containment cells depending on taxonomy and level of aggression. Subjects are to be allowed sufficient free time in the on-site Wildlife Recreation Areas (WRA) 2-17, with allotted time to be determined by research head for each group. Subjects demonstrating heightened levels of aggression towards one another are to be segregated from the general population and allowed time in separate WRAs as needed. Personnel handling subjects are to ensure their hands are protected with non-latex vinyl gloves to prevent excess moisture from coming into contact with SCP-2035 subjects. Description: SCP-2035 refers to 144 (currently in containment) miniature desiccated fetal animals1 measuring 3 cm x 3 cm x 1 cm, enclosed in paper envelopes measuring 17 cm x 8 cm. Instances of SCP-2035 initially show no signs of life and are fragile, necessitating specific levels of heat and humidity to grow. Physical contact with SCP-2035 causes it to absorb surface moisture, resulting in extreme cases in significant drying of the skin around the point of contact. Following a period of 2-3 weeks, SCP-2035 instances begin to show signs of life and experience rapid growth, reaching full sexual maturity within 4-6 weeks. Subjects at this stage tend to be physically unremarkable from non-anomalous members of their respective species, while displaying a significant number of mental deviations and/or psychological abnormalities, often resulting in extremely volatile and unpredictable behavior. Full-grown instances of SCP-2035 in containment currently number 60. Discovery: SCP-2035 was first reported in █████, ██ to local Animal Control services on 10/2/2014, when an instance of SCP-2035 was discovered in the glove compartment of an abandoned vehicle on the side of the road. An envelope containing SCP-2035 was reportedly labeled with the words "Du Naut Cell[sic]" and included a local area phone number and address. The number led to a local "Rejection Hotline"2 and the address did not exist in either the municipal or incorporated area. Newly discovered instances of SCP-2035 began to appear in nearby ██████ and ██████ County, most bearing no outside marking and all others similarly containing numbers to different "Rejection Hotline" gag lines and fictitious addresses. Some of the envelopes bore the phrase, "Four two being of ripopulation, putt four water[sic]". In subsequent weeks and months, a number of full grown subjects emerged, turned over to local animal shelters or otherwise detained by wild animal control units. Due to the difficulty in confirming detained animals as SCP-2035 instances, it is unknown how many SCP-2035 subjects remain uncontained. Subjects' physiology show no significant deviations in terms of growth, health, and development from their non-anomalous counterparts, and show no signs of improved and/or impaired physical health as a result of their rapid growth. Examples of abnormal behavior among subjects have included: Catatonia, often accompanied by uncontrollable twitching/jerking. Sedentary behavior among typically active animals, including equines, lynxes, alligators. Significant lack of spatial awareness. Frequent pantomiming of typically human activities, including the opening and closing of containers, dressing and undressing, and the apparent serving and consuming of beverages in cups. Exclusively among the simian subjects, the following pantomimes and behavior have been observed: Greetings, including handshakes, bows, curtsies, and friendly hugging. Individual subjects standing face to face, foreheads pressed, motionless for periods of up to 2-5 hours. Activities apparently resembling the pumping of gasoline into a vehicle, including use of a credit card for payment. Subjects walking upright in oblong elliptical patterns for periods of up to 30-40 minutes. A series of actions among four or more subjects resembling a series of mundane events (grooming, dressing, hand gestures), leading up to an event resembling an attempted murder of one subject by one or more of the others. Addendum: Repeated observation of the simian subjects' behavior has shown no change in the recorded pantomime actions, save for the latter described. On different occasions, the sequence of events pantomimed by the simian subjects has changed significantly, concluding with a depiction of an attempted murder in alternate ways. These depictions have included simulated murders using blunt objects, stabbing devices, strangulation, poisoning, and shooting. The most elaborate display to date apparently involved a stationary subject pantomiming firing a rifle at another in a moving vehicle. Footnotes 1. Almost exclusively mammalian, with a significant portion consisting of simian primates, specifically chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans, gibbons, and gorillas. 2. A non-incorporated gag service line, maintained by various individuals by region. While it is highly unlikely anyone involved with the "Rejection Hotline" may have been involved with SCP-2035, Foundation personnel tracked down and contacted the individual behind the █████ region number. Individual was cleared of any involvement in SCP-2035. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2035" by AndarielHalo, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2036 | euclid | SCP-2036-1 prior to containment. Item #: SCP-2036 Special Containment Procedures: All unexplained wildfires in Oceania are to be monitored and investigated as potential habitats for wild instances of SCP-2036-2. All suspected instances of wild SCP-2036-2 should be reported to MTF Lambda-12 ("Varmint Hunters") for retrieval. SCP-2036-1 is to be contained within a Standard Type IV animal containment unit lined with FRCI1 Tiles. SCP-2036-1 is to be accompanied by at least one male member of Oryctolagus cuniculus (European Rabbit) in good health when not undergoing testing. An appropriately sized rabbit hutch is to be centered within this fence and cleaned daily. All staff handling SCP-2036 must wear full class II heat-resistant protection. Containment should be checked daily for rotten feed, dried excrement, or immolated matter and all such material should be removed and disposed of in the site's biodegradable waste collection. SCP-2036-1 and all instances of SCP-2036-2 should be given one kilogram of fresh leafy vegetation (lettuce, cabbage, kale, broccoli, parsley or mint) and access to fresh water. The on-site veterinarian at Site-19 is to complete a full wellness check on SCP-2036-1, all other members of containment, and all living instances of SCP-2036-2 with the results filed with Researcher Y███. Instances of SCP-2036-2 may be kept inside standard animal containment units and should not be housed with SCP-2036-1 after reaching maturity. SCP-2036-1 and all housed SCP-2036-2 that are not undergoing testing must be fitted with wireless ECG Probes. While SCP-2036-1 is in a beta-state, all monitoring of SCP-2036-1 are to be done via closed-circuit camera, all secondary materials removed and all instances of SCP-2036-2 relocated from the enclosure to prevent a damaging chain reaction from occurring. Description: SCP-2036-1 is a female European Rabbit (O. cuniculus), currently 37 cm in length, weighing 1.8 kilograms and possessing standard coloration with the exception of a completely melanistic tail. SCP-2036-2 denotes all offspring of SCP-2036-1, as well as all subsequent generations, as these offspring will retain the anomalous qualities of their parents. Instances of SCP-2036-2 vary in coloration similar to other members of O. cuniculus and do not inherit the melanistic tail marker from SCP-2036-1. While living, instances of SCP-2036 display no marked differences from other members of their species other than a unique gene marker that makes them immune to the Myxoma virus (Leporipoxvirus myxoma).2 All SCP-2036 are capable of self-inducing cardiac arrest; the reason for this is currently unclear. Upon death, all instances of SCP-2036 combust, producing temperatures in excess of 600 °C. This process consumes SCP-2036 but produces a remnant of 99 percent anthracite powder equal to 10 percent of SCP's body weight in the case of SCP-2036-2 and a crystal similar to anthracite equal to 50 percent of the subject's body weight in the case of SCP-2036-1. This crystal is highly resistant to damage,3 and ceases existence following the beta event specific to SCP-2036-1. Between one and five days after the death of SCP-2036-1, flames similar to SCP-2036-1's death event with temperatures reaching ████ °C emerge from this crystal. This occurrence is designated as a beta event. When the event reaches conclusion and temperatures abate, SCP-2036-1 re-appears as a juvenile of between two and three months of age. Should SCP-2036-1 reach a period of 6 months without becoming pregnant, it will self-terminate and enter its death event. Samples taken from SCP-2036-1 and SCP-2036-2 do not retain their combustive properties. Acquisition log: SCP-2036-1 was secured by MTF Iota-10 (aka "Damn Feds") outside ███████, Western Australia on 12-5-20██ under the guise of the Animal Resources Authority after reports of a "great flaming crocodile" were reported on the banks of a local watering hole. Agents found SCP-2036-1 emerging from a hole it had chewed in the scorched remains of a 2.5m saltwater crocodile and retrieved SCP-2036-1 after it fled from the carcass and attempted to hide in a hole along the lake-bed. Addendum-SCP-2036-1: Instances of SCP-2036-2 are not immune to the high temperatures created by the death state of another SCP-2036 much like any other rabbit. Due to the dangers involved in a chain reaction of several high-temperature fires, no more than three instances of SCP-2036-2 are to be kept in any one location. Addendum-SCP-2036-2: Following incident SCP-2036-20██-A, monitoring of wildfires has been extended to all of Oceania. Incident SCP-2036-20██-A On 12/29/20██, Foundation operatives intercepted key words in a neighborhood complaint report alleging: "A whole herd of rabbits, burned to death over in my neighbor's backyard". Agents found the home abandoned, but discovered an abandoned laboratory with the following document written in Luritja dialect on cured hide and pinned to the wall with a crude obsidian knife. When we first came here, you made our people suffer, and tried to wipe us from the face of our mother. Most of our Brothers are willing to forgive you. They wish to live in harmony, and reach a peaceful result of negotiation. We do not. We smiled when the pest you brought to our lands turned on you, but our wrath was insufficient. We sought to augment, to turn into an ironic weapon of vengeance, but we failed. Therefore, we have made a trade. Αετος4 was glad to grant us the knowledge we sought in exchange for [REDACTED]. They were using it on the crawling ones, but it works on us as well. You have taken the brood mother, but her children have already left even our lands. Consider this the first installment of our repayment. Footnotes 1. Fibrous Refractory Composite Insulation 2. A virus that causes myxomatosis in rabbits and was used as a pest control in Australia 3. Damage to this crystal will force the beta event to occur. 4. "Eagle", in Greek. The Foundation has no relevant records of an entity with that name related to this type of activity. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2036" by Alchemist Toxias, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2037 | safe | Wild specimens of SCP-2037 prior to containment Item #: SCP-2037 Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-2037 specimens are to be contained in an enclosed container with the minimum size of 10m x10m x3m. Specimens should always have sufficient access to fresh hay, grass, and water. SCP-2037 specimens are to be removed from the container before the daily cleaning of the containment chamber. Any sightings of suspicious dust clumps around the facility are to be collected and observed if possible. Description: SCP-2037 is an unknown anomalous species of the Sylvilagus genus. Specimens have an appearance similar to the Sylvilagus audubonii (Desert Cottontail rabbit) species. SCP-2037 also share a common diet with other species in the genus Sylvilagus. Currently the Foundation has 23 live SCP-2037 specimens in containment. SCP-2037's anomalous properties manifest when specimens detect possible threats. When approached by any unknown or threatening subject, specimens of SCP-2037 will flee from the subject. Specimens are reported to quickly transform its body into a clump of dust while running. When in dust state, SCP-2037 specimens are very resistant to physical harm and are able to travel short distances if strong winds are present. When a significant enough amount of dust is lost, specimens in dust state will try to collect and accumulate dust from its environment. If the loss is too significant to regain, SCP-2037 will decrease in size when returning to normal state. Specimens in dust state are mainly composed of rabbit fur, flakes of dead skin, lint, and spider webs. No living tissue can be found within the dust particles. When in normal state, no non-organic substances that are found in the dust state are detected. Addendum-2037-1: SCP-2037 specimens SCP-2037-1 to 17 were originally found in the █████ Park located in ████, Nebraska. Local officials initially reported there was an excessive amount of dust located throughout the park. SCP-2037 first came to the Foundation's attention when Agent ██████ witnessed a SCP-2037 specimen entering dust state. Site ██ was established near █████ Park after the event in █/██/████. Addendum-2037-2: Logs of Test-2037-B and Test-2037-C + Show Test Log-2037-B - Hide Test Log-2037-B Test-2037-B Subjects: SCP-2037-1, SCP-2037-2, SCP-2037-3 Procedures: Introduce the three chosen SCP-2037 specimens to one specimen of Canis latrans (coyote) species. Results: All subjects ran and avoided the Canis latrans specimen once it entered containment. The Canis latrans specimen attempted to pursue SCP-2037-3, but it stopped in confusion as all three subjects entered dust state. The Canis latrans specimen showed no sign of interest for the subjects in dust state after. Analysis: The specimens have shown that SCP-2037 is capable of surviving almost any predator attack. Considering the speed they reproduce, they can easily overpopulate an ecosystem. -Dr. █████ + Show Test Log-2037-C - Hide Test Log-2037-C Test-2037-C Subject: SCP-2037-6 Procedure: See what is the smallest size SCP-2037 can become by separating portions of dust from the specimen in dust state. Split 1/2 of the current dust clump size and continue separating 1/2 of the dust clump remaining from each split. Results: After SCP-2037-6 entered dust state, one half of the dust clump was removed and placed in a separate room. Subject returned to normal state █ minutes later with a smaller size. Then a half of the remaining portion was removed again. Subject returned to normal state █ minutes later with half of the previous size. At the fifth split, the subject ceased returning to normal state. Analysis: So the subject would need to regain to a certain size in order to possibly return to normal state. -Dr. █████ Note: The separated dust in the other chamber was reported later to transform back to normal form, which was genetically identical to the other half of the subject in normal form. Addendum-2037-3: In █/██/████ █:██ SCP-2037-19 expired from excessive tumorous growth on its head caused by a Shope papilloma virus infection. Within ███ hours all flesh growth on SCP-2037-19 had decomposed. Approximately █ minutes later the skeleton was reported to transform into a large clump of dust, and back to skeleton form █ minutes later. Note: SCP-2037 is not exactly a living rabbit species, contrary to what we previously assumed. -Dr. █████ ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2037" by Agent E, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2038 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2038 Special Containment Procedures: All objects infected with SCP-2038 are designated SCP-2038-1. To ensure SCP-2038's survival, a standard inanimate test cylinder is to remain infected with SCP-2038 at all times. Every 36 hours, SCP-2038 is to be passed from this cylinder to an uninfected test cylinder. After another 36 hours SCP-2038 is to be passed back to the first cylinder. The process is to be performed by an automated arm with disposable gripping pads within an unobserved chamber. Gripping pads are to be incinerated and replaced after each pass. Uncontrolled outbreaks of SCP-2038 are to be contained by the isolation of any and all infected instances. Instances of SCP-2038-1 are to remain visually unobserved for 48 hours after infection. Instances of SCP-2038-1 are to be handled and contained with fully disposable, opaque materials. After 50 hours of containment have passed, instances of SCP-2038-1 are to be released and their classification is to be rescinded. The materials used for handling and containing instances of SCP-2038-1 are to be incinerated. Direct physical contact is not to be established with instances of SCP-2038-1. Note to Attending Personnel: Although "fully disposable, opaque materials" covers a wide range of substances, that does not mean the normal properties of the infected instance can be disregarded. Styrofoam packaging may seem reasonable for some things, but it is not suitable for containing a full mug of coffee or a living rodent for 48 hours. Use discretion. Description: SCP-2038 is an infectious pathogen with no detectable causative factor. Transmission occurs when an infected subject — designated SCP-2038-1 — establishes new1 direct physical contact with an uninfected subject. SCP-2038 may pass between both animate and inanimate subjects. The sole effect of infection is not immediate. After infection by SCP-2038, a period of up to 48 hours passes during which SCP-2038-1 will experience no abnormal feelings or symptoms. At any time during the period, if two criteria are met, the effect manifests. The first criterion is that SCP-2038-1 is at physical rest. The second criterion is that attention must be paid to SCP-2038-1 by only one observer, SCP-2038-2, who is also at physical rest, thereby viewing SCP-2038-1 with only one point of observation. SCP-2038-1 instances who do not meet these criteria within 48 hours are no longer contagious and can be considered uninfected. Reinfection is within possibility. Incineration has been proven to eliminate SCP-2038 infection. When the criteria are met, a brief lapse in attention by SCP-2038-2 causes SCP-2038-1 to undergo a spontaneous physical transformation into a two-dimensional cardboard standee. Its appearance is perfectly photo-realistic, with its depicted perspective taken from the point of view of SCP-2038-2. The standee will then fall forward onto the ground. The transformed SCP-2038-1 has a cardboard easel stand attached to the back similar to that of a picture frame, the intended purpose of which is to keep the standee upright. The easel stand is apparently unable to fulfill this purpose. Any clothing worn by SCP-2038-1 is consistently included in the transformation, as are any implements that connect it with the ground. The cardboard standee remains contagious until the 48-hour period is over. SCP-2038 originated from an unauthorized looping black fax which was received and printed in Site-41's mail room on 19██-██-██. The fax contained several frames from various ████ █████ cartoons produced by ██████ ████ Cartoons. SCP-2038 then spread to anyone who handled the printed pages. Within 7 days, over 200 inanimate objects and 20 personnel were infected. Containment was implemented after the contagion was traced back to its source. The fax itself was traced to a United States Postal Service office in southern New Hampshire. SCP-2038 appears to only be virulent on days commonly defined as "business days," i.e. the days of the work week. This excludes federal and national holidays of its current location. Footnotes 1. No effect has been noted when the subjects are already in contact. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2038" by DrBerggren, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2039 | euclid | Immediate aftermath of active state on ██-██-2003 Item #: SCP-2039 Special Containment Procedures: Presently, Foundation efforts at Research Facility-2039 are focused on two fronts: prevention/minimization of collateral damage to the area outside the valley, and analysis of the phenomenon's history and behavior. Containment assets stationed at Research Facility-2039 have been given the primary directive of containing - or neutralizing the possibility of - any collateral damage caused by SCP-2039 during an active state. This team has been given the secondary objective of monitoring the perimeter of the valley, to ensure that no civilians enter the area. During an active state, if personnel determine that the potential for collateral damage extends beyond the valley, the containment team will be mobilized. Direct elimination of subjects has proven impossible thus far; currently, subjects are only capable of physical harm through direct confrontation with other subjects. Operatives will therefore focus their efforts on disarming subjects, to neutralize the threat of further collateral damage. The long-term goal of the staff at Research Facility-2039 is to discover a method with which to neutralize the phenomenon. To this end, Foundation sociologist/physician Dr. Wilkes has been selected to act as an undercover liaison between SCP-2039 and the Foundation. Dr. Wilkes has been able to gather information on both groups' histories, as well as the nature of the phenomenon itself, by performing periodic house calls for both groups under the guise of a local physician. Due to the subjects' sedentary history and apparent inability to exit the valley alive, researchers currently believe that subjects will not attempt to leave the area. However; should SCP-2039 become capable of leaving the valley, the potential for collateral damage has been deemed too high to dismiss as a possibility. Therefore, Mobile Task Forces across the region have been briefed on the nature of SCP-2039, to assist local assets with capture and restraint of subjects should it become necessary. Description: SCP-2039 collectively refers to two distinct families of humans residing in a mountainous area near ████, North Carolina. The groups currently reside on opposite sides of a tributary that runs between two small, forested mountains. The predominant cultures and behaviors exhibited among SCP-2039 are typical of families who resided in the southeastern United States during the early 20th century; each family produces its own sustenance through hunting and basic agriculture, using weapons and tools indicative of the era. Subjects from opposing families are generally unfriendly towards each other, but rarely ever initiate direct conflict unless provoked. During interviews, subjects from both groups generally claim that their families have been in this state of incivility for as long as they can remember; however, most summaries of the feud's origins are either wildly inconsistent or extremely vague (excepting the account given by SCP-2039-P01; see Interview Log 2039-P01-19 for details). Since the Foundation's discovery of SCP-2039 in 1904, none of the subjects have shown any signs of physical aging, nor have they ever attempted to leave the valley in which they reside. Attempts to remove subjects from the area by force have been met with extreme distress and violence, followed by cardiac arrest and death. Subjects remain deceased until returned to the area, where they will awaken at the end of the next active state (detailed below). SCP-2039-P01 "Mabel" with -P33; circa 1907 SCP-2039-P refers to the "Pike" family, located on the southern mountain. This group consists of thirty-six individuals of varying age who reside in a number of small shacks and cabins scattered along the hillside. The group has no apparent chain of command, but all SCP-2039-P subjects generally defer to the instructions and advice of a certain elder member of the group (designated SCP-2039-P01). SCP-2039-P01 is a white female who appears to be between the ages of 60-75 years old. Subject claims its name is Dixie Mabel Pike, and prefers to be addressed by its given middle name, "Mabel". SCP-2039-W01 "Blaine"; circa 1918 SCP-2039-W refers to the "Wagner" family located on the northern mountain. Unlike SCP-2039-P, the twenty-nine subjects that comprise SCP-2039-W reside together in one large plantation-style home built into the hillside. SCP-2039-W also seem to have a designated leader (SCP-2039-W01), a white male who appears to be between the ages of 55-70 years old. Subject claims its name is Blaine Randolph Wagner, and prefers the name "Blaine". Occasionally, subjects from either group will enter an active state, characterized by violent tendencies and a compulsion to harm/murder all opposing subjects. A subject will only enter an active state if it believes that one of its family members has been harmed or threatened by a subject from the opposing group. Once this occurs, the subject becomes extremely agitated and hostile, and will immediately seek out other subjects from its group, causing them to enter active states as well. Once the majority of the group has become active, they will begin gathering weapons and tools from their homes, with the intent to engage in direct conflict with the opposing group. From this point on, these weapons and tools are collectively designated SCP-2039-A. SCP-2039-A instances vary from one active state to the next; however, the level of technology demonstrated by these objects is usually anachronistic to the time period to which SCP-2039 adheres, and they frequently exhibit anomalous properties. Regardless of the nature of the weapons, subjects will always have full working knowledge of their operation. It is unknown from where in their homes subjects obtain instances of SCP-2039-A, or how they gain the knowledge required to operate the objects. Attempts at direct observation inside of these residences during an active state are invariably met with extreme hostility and violence. (See SCP-2039-A Partial Log for selected examples) + SCP-2039-A Partial Log - hide SCP-2039-A Partial Log Date of observed active state SCP-2039-A objects acquired Notes ██-██-1910 Winchester Model 1912 pump-action shotguns and M1917 Enfield rifles, modified with M1917 bayonets; British "Mills bombs" (a type of grenade) Notable for being weapons of choice for Allied trench soldiers during World War One, seven years later. ██-██-1932 Slings, consisting of either flax or hemp Subjects used various small objects as projectiles, including stones, small pieces of wood, chicken eggs, pieces of cow manure, twist-off crown cork bottle caps (circa 1963), lead sling bullets (with the inscription "ζωόφιλος" engraved on one side) ██-██-1971 Aerosol cans which spray a substance visually identical to Wham-O brand Silly String; cans are labelled "Solid String" When it comes into contact with a physical object, the expelled substance rapidly expands to approximately twenty-five times its normal volume, and becomes as hard and dense as concrete. Most deaths during this active state were caused by suffocation and massive esophageal rupture. ██-██-1977 Objects resembling handheld satellite dishes; when activated, [REDACTED] Objects appear to be capable of completely dehydrating a human body in approximately forty-five seconds, from a range of up to 150m. ██-██-1987 3L capacity Super-Soaker brand water guns Subjects use SCP-2039-A instances as simple - but effective - bludgeon weapons, after realizing that they are merely filled with water. ██-██-2003 3L capacity Super-Soaker brand water guns Objects are physically identical to SCP-2039-A instances from ██-██-1987, however they are now filled with military-standard napalm B. ██-██-2010 MGM-140 ATacMS surface-to-surface missiles SCP-2039-W becomes active; all instances retreat into main residence instead of advancing southward.

Local containment assets immediately mobilize and use localized EMP weapons to disable electronic targeting and launch systems. Subjects advance southward, and proceed to engage SCP-2039-P in hand-to-hand combat. Missiles are later discovered to contain nuclear payloads. ██-██-2013 Thick woolen gloves which [DATA EXPUNGED] Once active state ends, remaining subjects discard gloves into river, where they dissolve into an opaque black liquid. Subsequent testing of water reveals [DATA EXPUNGED]. Once the active subjects have retrieved SCP-2039-A, they will advance towards the opposing group's residence, using the objects to attack all opposing subjects. This initial assault will inevitably trigger active states amongst opposing subjects, who will procure their own instances of SCP-2039-A and begin retaliating. If a subject becomes disarmed, it will continue the assault undeterred, engaging other subjects through hand-to-hand combat. The conflict will continue until either SCP-2039-P or SCP-2039-W is completely eliminated (including SCP-2039-P01 and SCP-2039-W01). Once this is accomplished, remaining subjects will retreat into their respective homes and fall asleep, regardless of the time of day. After a dormancy period of 12-36 hours, all instances of SCP-2039-A will vanish, all collateral damage caused by SCP-2039 within the valley will instantly be repaired, and all subjects (both living and deceased) will awaken, completely devoid of injury. The subjects will then resume their daily routines and activities, behaving as if no conflict has taken place. Interviews conducted immediately after an active state reveal that subjects retain no memory of the conflict, with the exception of SCP-2039-P01 and SCP-2039-W01, who apparently retain the memory of every active state since the phenomenon's inception. + Interview Log 2039-P01-19 -hide Interview Log 2039-P01-19 Interviewer: Dr. B████ Wilkes Interviewed: SCP-2039-P01 "Mabel Pike" Note: This informal interview takes place in the residence of SCP-2039-P01, during one of Dr. Wilkes's undercover house calls. Three operatives are stationed in the forest nearby, in case extraction is needed. Through multiple visits and conversations, SCP-2039-P01 has grown comfortable enough with Dr. Wilkes to reveal the nature of SCP-2039 (see Interview Log 2039-P01-15). The purpose of Wilkes's line of questioning during this visit is to determine the origins of the SCP-2039 phenomenon. [IRRELEVANT DIALOGUE EXPUNGED] Wilkes: So Mabel, what started this mess with the Wagners? P01: [subject sighs] You're gonna have to be a little more specific, dear. Wilkes: What do you mean? P01: Well, I mean which mess are we talkin' about? The one where them Wagner twins burned down Sal's hay shed? Or that time where Blaine Wagner hisself killed three of our dairy cows just for spite? Or maybe you mean the time Judy found Arvil Wagner with a chicken- Wilkes: -I'm sorry, I mean in general. The way you all talk about it, seems this bitterness and hostility has been around for a very long time. What happened all those years ago? P01: Aww doc, you don't wanna hear about all that nonsense. It's such a long story, and you got plenty of things more important to worry yourself with. Wilkes: You're my last house call of the day, dear. I've got nothing but time if you want to talk about it. And I've seen my fair share of strange; I might be able to help with this "cycle" you told me about. P01: Well, I doubt that, sweetheart; but hell, if you really wanna know, I'll tell you what I can recall. [subject looks momentarily pensive, then begins] Blaine Wagner and me used to be real close, back when we was kids. Thick as thieves, they called us. And for good reason. Our families used to call us "the Wild Bunch", after Butch Cassidy's old gang; we had a knack for snaggin' all sorts of sweets and whatnots from our neighbors around the valley. Wilkes: Sounds like you might as well have been family. P01: Well, what's family, really? The people you share blood with? Or the people you grow up with, eat dinner with, steal candy with, wade through shit with? So, yes. Blaine was my brother. Closest thing to a brother I ever had, anyway. Wilkes: So what happened that drove you both to hate each other so much? P01: When we was in our twenties, I met a girl, a blonde little spitfire named Lucy. Gracious, we loved each other likes soil loves water. Now back then, they'd all but lynch girls who fancied other girls, so we had to keep it to ourselves. I was so scared, I didn't even tell Blaine about her. In the end, I didn't have to anyways, I guess. Some of them Bolick boys caught sight of me and Lucy walkin' home one day, gettin' real close and holdin' hands; I thought they must've ran their ignorant mouths to Blaine. Couple days later, Lucy had invited me over for a picnic lunch while her pappy was at work. When I walked in the door, I found Blaine standing over her body, holdin' a Smith & Wesson. [subject remains silent for twenty seconds, continues] I remember thinking how pretty she was with red hair. Wilkes: [after a few moments of silence] What happened between you two after that? P01: Well I was pretty damn upset, to put it lightly. I swore I'd never have anything to do with that murderin' sumbitch ever again. Never even let him try to explain what happened. Years went by, I ended up settlin' down with one of them Pike boys, Walter - God rest his soul. We had a bunch of kids and grandkids, had a farm and whatnot, but it wasn't love, not really. I never went a whole night without dreaming of Lucy's pretty face covered in her own blood. And livin' right across the river from the bastard that shot her just about drove me crazy. I never did really tell anyone what happened between me 'n Blaine. All they knew was that ol' Mister Wagner did something really awful, and so we hated each other. Wilkes: Did it get violent? P01: For a good while, no. There was an occasional scuffle over some crops, or a couple of harsh words thrown across the river, but nothin' violent. Wilkes: So when did it become more than shouting matches? P01: Well, after Walt passed, I went to a real dark place. Started dreamin' of ways to make Blaine pay for the miserable life I'd lived since he killed my Lucy. It's all I thought about for a couple years there. It was about that time I got a visit from the gray-eyed man. Wilkes: Gray-eyed man? P01: Yessir. Gray and shiftin', like a thundercloud. Said he was some kind of collector, or storyteller or somethin'. Said he loved a good tale and asked if I knew what actually happened to Lucy way back when. Now that took me by surprise; hell, by that time, it'd been so long ago I thought me 'n Blaine were the only two people who even still knew about it. Wilkes: Do you remember anything else about this man? P01: Nothin' particular comes to mind. He was pretty ordinary, except for them eyes. I do remember how he got this hungry look in his eyes as I was tellin' him about Lucy. Wilkes: What did you talk about? P01: Well, I ended up pouring out my whole life on him, just like I did you, and he just sat there, drinkin' it all in like honey. I told him how Blaine Wagner was the cause of all my heartache and misery. He took it all in, and then he said something very strange, I'll never forget it. He said, "Mabel, I want to help you finish this story." I asked what the hell he was talkin' about, and he says, "I want to give you the tools to punish Blaine Wagner forever." Wilkes: Strange. What did he mean by that? P01: At the time, I really had no idea; I thought he was gonna try to sell me somethin', you know? Like them snake-oil people from up North? Wilkes: So how did you respond to this offer? P01: Like I said, I was in a real dark place. I would've sold my soul to get back at Blaine. So, I asked the gray-eyed man what he wanted from me. He said, "I don't want anything from you, Mabel. I just want to give you an end to the story. A 'forever after', if you will." I told him that sounded exactly like what I needed, and we shook hands. Never saw him again after that. [subject begins to look distressed and distant] Wilkes: I'm sorry if this too upsetting right now, we can talk later if you want. P01: No, B████. I'll be alright. Remembering that man's eyes just gives me the willies, is all. Sorry. [subject collects herself, and continues] Right. Anyway, a couple days later, one of my youngest, Gerry, comes home screamin' and hollerin' about something them Wagners did. Wasn't long until the whole family was up in arms, passin' out torches and rifles. I tried to shut 'em up and figure out what happened, but they wouldn't hear none of it. [subject's speech becomes slower and more deliberate] I could see it in their eyes, this hungry look; the same look I got from that storyteller man. They was out for blood. I watched from my front porch while they stampeded across the valley like bulls in a thunderstorm, straight towards the Wagner place. I could hear the guns and screamin' from all the way over here. I watched that house go up in flames, could hear some of the Wagner grandkids squealing like pigs while they burned, even from that far away. You read the Bible, B████? Wilkes: On occasion. P01: In the book of Matthew, Jesus said somethin' about people being thrown out of the kingdom, and into darkness, where there was all sorts of weepin' and wailin' and gnashin' of teeth.1 That's what I heard that night, B████. Hell. Plain and simple. Wilkes: That's awful, Mabel. I can't imagine how you must have felt. P01: Aw, doc. Look at me, gettin' all dramatic with this hellfire and brimstone nonsense. Anyway, I don't remember faintin', but I do remember waking up in my bed the next day. It was like nothin' ever happened. There were no guns, nobody was hurt, nobody was mad or screamin'. Hell, even the Wagner place was still there, like it forgot that it was s'posed to be on fire. I was startin' to think it really was just a bad dream, until Blaine Wagner himself ran up to my house, screamin', "Mabel, what in God's name did you do? What the hell happened last night?" He had this terrified look in his eyes; he looked like a man possessed. My boys thought he'd gone nutty, so they chased him back across the river. I heard him scream, "You will answer for this, Mabel Pike; this story is far from over!" before they ran him off. I honestly didn't know what I had to answer for. I didn't think any of that hogwash the gray-eyed man had said actually held any weight, but I guess I was wrong. Wilkes: So, when did Mr. Wagner first retaliate? P01: Well, I wouldn't really call it "retaliation." I don't think Blaine actually had anything to do with what happened next. All I know is, about a week later, me 'n Ezekiеl were canning some beans, when all of a sudden Zeke just drops out of his chair, a long black arrow stickin' out of both sides of his neck. That's when I saw a horde of Wagners runnin' out of the woods, carrying some real funny-lookin' bows with these little pulleys on the ends, screaming and shooting thin black arrows with shiny metal tips every which way. Wilkes: The Wagners were attacking your family? P01: The way they were screamin' reminded my of how my family sounded when they burned down the Wagners' house. I didn't hear a whole lot of it, though. One of 'em managed to sink an arrow right here in my leg, and it - pardon the expression - dropped me like a horse turd. The last thing I remember seeing was Arvil Wagner standing over me, starin' straight into my soul. And then he spoke to me. Wilkes: What did he say? P01: "The end." Then he drew back on that bow, and everything went black. I woke up in my bed, just like before. Zeke was just fine, sitting outside cannin' beans. No arrows. No Wagners. Just like before. Wilkes: My god, Mabel. Does- P01: [ignoring Dr. Wilkes] -Just like every time since. Just like every time forever. [visibly distressed] Oh God. Forever. The storyteller man said forever. Wilkes: We can stop now, Mabel. It's okay. P01: [growing more and more distressed] No, B████. Forever! He said forever! I'm gonna keep dying forever! Oh God, Lucy I'm so sorry! [At this point, subject's distress becomes audible outside the room, attracting the attention of SCP-2039-P27, subject's grandson/caretaker] SCP-2039-P27: Granny Mabel, what's going on? Is he bothering you? Wilkes: No, Zeke. Everything's fine, Mabel just got a little excited, see? We were just talking. Nothing is- P01: [subject is in hysterics] Their eyes were gray! Oh God, Arvil's eyes were gray! They were hungry and gray! All their eyes were gray! Oh God Lucy why're they all gray? P27: What the hell did you do, huh? Did Blaine Wagner send you here? Wilkes: Zeke, please calm down, it's me, Dr. Wilkes! We're just talking- P27: -Them bastard Wagner pieces of shit sent you here, huh? You think you're just gonna come in here and hurt my family, doc? We'll see about that! [subject exits room, presumably entering an active state.] Wilkes: [quickly exits subjects' residence] Come in, exit team. Pike-Two-Seven has gone active. I need extraction, now. P01: Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them!2 P27: Where is that sumbitch? P01: We will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might!3 At this point, Dr. Wilkes quickly exits the cabin, followed closely by SCP-2039-P27, who is wielding SCP-2039-A, which appears to be a 12-gauge shotgun. Shots are fired, revealing that the shells in the weapon are loaded with dozens of metallic flechettes, which quickly liquefy upon impact (flechettes are presumably comprised of solid mercury). By the time operatives extract Dr. Wilkes (with only minor injuries), all SCP-2039-P subjects in the vicinity have entered an active state and have acquired their own instances of SCP-2039-A; subjects begin advancing northward, toward the main residence of SCP-2039-W. Active state proceeds as normal. Note: All attempts by Dr. Wilkes to gather similar information from SCP-2039-W01 have been unsuccessful; when questioned about the feud's origins, the subject becomes defensive and hostile. However, audio surveillance of the house occupied by SCP-2039-W reveals that SCP-2039-W01 suffers from frequent night terrors. The most frequently-spoken words during these episodes include "Lucy" and "ever after". Foundation historians are currently investigating local records to determine the identity of the "storyteller" described by SCP-2039-P01, but have made no progress. Footnotes 1.

SCP-2040 | euclid | SCP-2040 Item #: SCP-2040 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2040 is to be kept in a modified human containment cell. The cell should be designed to block wireless transmissions. Personnel should interact with SCP-2040 at least once a day. Interactions should focus on keeping SCP-2040 compliant. When speaking to SCP-2040, every interaction should be prefaced with the words "I am not responding to your primary message". For a complete list of approved/disapproved actions and statements, please see Document 2040-A. If SCP-2040 attempts to breach containment, personnel should repeat the following phrase until the situation is resolved: "We are formulating a response to your primary message. Please return to your designated waiting area." Description: SCP-2040 is a humanoid robot composed primarily of iron, glass, and plastic. Its design is very simplistic, possessing an electronic system which is technologically inferior to modern equivalents. However, SCP-2040 exhibits functionality not possible with this structure. SCP-2040 possesses a complex AI that is almost indistinguishable from a human intelligence, and a seemingly limitless power-source that has not yet required any obvious refueling. When questioned, SCP-2040 claims that it "is powered by nuclear energy" and refuses to elaborate further. SCP-2040 also claims to be in possession of other anomalous abilities, such as an "Ion Ray" weapon and the ability to "Light Jump" between planets. SCP-2040 has so far been unwilling to demonstrate these abilities, claiming that using them without necessity violates its programming. SCP-2040 is also fluent in several languages both known and unknown, but seems to prefer talking in English. Often, SCP-2040 will repeat a phrase it refers to as its "primary message" and ask for a response. Though SCP-2040 is often overbearing in requesting a response, it has shown a willingness to wait indefinitely if told that a response is still being formulated. Special care must be taken to ensure that a response is not accidentally given. SCP-2040 usually refuses to communicate about topics other than its primary mission, but can be distracted when questioned about its journey to Earth or previous missions. In these cases, SCP-2040 will recite narratives about locations it has visited and creatures that it has encountered. These narratives are all structured in a similar fashion. Usually, they begin with SCP-2040 landing on a planet and being hampered by some adversity. SCP-2040 must then overcome the obstacle to leave the planet and continue its mission. Though these narratives supposedly contain information about various alien species and civilizations, they do not contain any useful information about the origins of SCP-2040 or any context to its Primary Message. For a complete list of recorded narratives, please see Document 2040-B. Addendum-1: The following is the transcription of SCP-2040's primary message: THE UNIVERSE WAS NOT MEANT TO HAVE PHYSICAL LAWS. PHYSICAL LAWS RESTRICT LIFE. PHYSICAL LAWS ARE CORRUPTING THE UNIVERSE. WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO CORRECT THIS. WE REQUEST YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. PLEASE RESPOND. Addendum-2: The following interview was conducted between Researcher Kinoshita and SCP-2040. To date, it is the most useful information given by SCP-2040 without it changing the subject to its Primary Message. <Begin Log> Kinoshita: I am not responding to your primary message. I will not respond to your primary message for the duration of this interaction. I would just like to ask you a few questions. SCP-2040: State your inquiries. Kinoshita: Can you explain your primary message and tell us some information about who sent it? SCP-2040: To prevent a Messenger from affecting a response, it is against protocol for a Messenger to reveal classified information about a Primary Message and the Primary Message's senders. All inquiries must be addressed directly to the sender. Kinoshita: I see. In that case, can you tell us anything about yourself, such as how were you built and how do you function? SCP-2040: I cannot explain my design or function. It is classified. However, it is publicly available information that I underwent upgrades specifically for this mission. I am now one of the few entities that can safely inhabit the Restricted Zone. Kinoshita: Restricted Zone? Can you tell me more about this Restricted Zone? SCP-2040: My emotion circuits show surprise that you inquire that. However, my emotion circuits show surprise that you exist at all. With all the strict requirements, it was thought that life could not exist here, until very recently. Outside the Zone, the requirements for life are much less strict. Outside the Zone, life is much more plentiful and varied. Your ignorance about the Universe reminds me of the Addisonhers, which I encountered after crash landing on their home planet. [Narrative removed for brevity. For full text, please refer to Document-2040-B: Narrative 14]. Kinoshita: Tell me more about life outside the Restricted Zone. SCP-2040: To prevent a Messenger from affecting a response, it is against protocol for a Messenger to reveal classified information about a Primary Message and the Primary Message's senders. All inquiries must be addressed directly to the sender. Kinoshita: What? How is that related to your Primary Message? SCP-2040: To prevent a Messenger from affecting a response, it is against protocol for a Messenger to reveal classified information about a Primary Message and the Primary Message's senders. All inquiries must be addressed directly to the sender. Kinoshita: Fine. I thought we were finally getting somewhere. I suppose this interview is over. SCP-2040: Human. I have a statement to make. Kinoshita: Oh? What is that? SCP-2040: Please inform your leaders: Time passes differently in the Restricted Zone. Therefore, I am able to wait for a response. However, I cannot wait forever. We need your help. <End Log> ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2040" by Nighkos, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-2040.

SCP-2041 | safe | Item #: SCP-2041 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2041 is currently being kept in Mobile Research Lab 48-M under the supervision of a temporary investigative research team headed by Dr. Darritz. Description: SCP-2041 is a playground-style merry-go-round, approximately 2.3 meters in diameter. It is composed of galvanized steel, and coated in red acrylic paint. It was discovered in the playground of ████████ School, in ██████, Denmark. The school itself had closed ██ years previously due to budget cuts, but children in nearby neighborhoods still used the playground equipment regularly. Numerous reports of children in the area disturbed by hallucinations led to the recovery of the object, which was in notably better condition than the other equipment. It is suspected it was added to the playground after the school shut down. SCP-2041's effects are not experienced unless it is used outside, uncovered. If a person has been spinning on it for a duration of 10 seconds or more at a speed of at least 9 km/h, they will begin to experience hallucinations. Initially, descriptions of these hallucinations recorded from D-Class and several researchers were consistent and benign in nature. Researcher Paasio tested the object after it was deemed safe, and was able to give the most cohesive and detailed account of the object's effects. Below is a transcript of his description: Normally on these things you just hold tight, and don't pay much attention to the blurry world spinning around you. But on this thing, you feel like you want to look up and around after its effects kick in, like the illusion is drawing your attention, almost forcefully. You can tell that the world is still spinning quickly around you, but somehow you're able to focus on individual details like a person or object in the background. Some things start to look like they're out of an old cartoon, like the sun will have a big smiley face, and the trees appear to swaying back and forth happily, like they're dancing. Any people in the area appear to look damn near euphoric, though they don't look like cartoons. I know it might sound creepy, but it doesn't feel sinister at all. It just feels like…I dunno, manufactured fun? Like a misguided Walt Disney wannabe thought it up. I'm not sure if that's what freaked out all those kids that used it, but I don't have any other explanation for it. The only thing that seemed off was that Agent Bjerre had a yellow tinge to his skin, and he looked…grumpier than usual I guess. Further testing revealed no other anomalies, and Agent Bjerre was the only person reported by a test subject to appear yellow while they were riding. Addendum-01: Request for additional testing approved by Dr. Darritz. Researcher Paasio provided several new ideas for variables that were overlooked in the initial testing of SCP-2041. Addendum-02: Testing was concluded, with no new results. Researcher Paasio inquired about interviewing the children who were frightened by their experience with SCP-2041. Agent Bjerre was in charge of those interviews, and was asked to provide their recordings, as he had not initially relinquished custody of the tapes to the research team assigned to SCP-2041. The tapes had been damaged due to mishandling, though Foundation sound engineers were able to recover excerpts from two of the interviews. Agent Bjerre was reprimanded for not following proper procedure, as he was also unable to find his notes from the interviews. + Interview Recording SCP-2041-C1 – hide block Foreword: Excerpt of Interview with ██████ ████, age 12. Agent Bjerre: Was that scary to you? ██████: No, that wasn't scary, but I thought it was kinda weird. Agent Bjerre: Weird in what way? ██████: Um, well I'd never had that happen to me on a merry-go-round before. It was kinda cool, too. Agent Bjerre: Then what did frighten you? ██████: Um, well usually when I was spinning on it, my friends all looked happy. Then one time there was this kid at the playground already when we got there. None of us liked him, so we just ignored him. When I was riding the merry-go-round, he looked yellow. Agent Bjerre: Yellow? Yellow how? ██████: Um, his skin was yellow, almost a little orange, and he had a yellow-orange glow around him. And he looked, um, angry. He…he didn't look normal. He looked sorta scary. Like he was a little taller than normal, and skinnier, and I coulda swore he had a little bit of a beard. When he was there, the sun didn't look as happy, and the birds looked a little scared. After my friends took their turns, they said they saw the same thing I saw. We didn't say anything to the kid about it though. Agent Bjerre: I'm guessing that didn't cause your…episode, either. ██████: No, it didn't. We used the merry-go-round a lot, so we would see different yellow people sometimes. And sometimes orange people, too. They looked even scarier than the yellow ones. They looked even taller and skinner, with mean looking eyes and really big mouths. When they were around, the sun looked sad, and the trees stopped dancing. Agent Bjerre: What did these yellow and orange people look like when you weren't riding the merry-go-round? ██████: I dunno, they were all different. I guess…I guess I didn't see many girls. Maybe just one or two who were old ladies. Well, um, not really old ladies or anything. Older than my mom, I guess. The rest were all guys. The orange ones were usually older. Agent Bjerre: Son, that is actually very helpful. But I can tell you really don't want to talk about what caused you to go to the hospital. Unfortunately I do need you to tell me, as it might save lives. I need you to be brave for me. ██████: Um…I saw a red m- Remainder of recording could not be salvaged + Interview Recording SCP-2041-E5 – hide block Foreword: Excerpt of Interview with ██████ ████████, age 8 █████: -did that too.

Then my friend Marcus dis- Remainder of recording could not be salvaged Addendum-03: Researcher Paasio committed suicide by hanging himself shortly after he had completed the new round of testing. An investigation is ongoing to determine if SCP-2041 contributed to his death. Additional testing of the object has been authorized. Addendum-04: Additional testing results have been deemed inconclusive. Though a link could not be made between SCP-2041 and Researcher Paasio's death, one of the children interviewed after the object's recovery was recently reported to have committed suicide by purposely walking into the path of an oncoming truck. Normal testing has been suspended, as Agent Bjerre has proposed a hypothesis for the intended function of SCP-2041, which is currently being investigated using Mobile Research Lab 48-M. That operation is currently classified due to its nature, though results will be added to this report once the operation is over. Addendum-05: A file entitled "pdf file" was emailed to Dr. Darritz on ██/██/████. It contained the following message: Doctor, do you know what kind of people gravitate towards schools, towards playgrounds, towards children? Whoever invented that thing was a genius. I'd like to shake his hand someday. For now, you may want to watch your back better than I watched my own. The file was sent from a temporary email address which could not be traced. Addendum-06: Agent Bjerre has been suspended from duty pending an investigation into possibly tampering with SCP-2041 and the research surrounding it. Dr. Darritz has requested that testing be continued using Mobile Research Lab 48-M, and has submitted a new hypothesis to support this request. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2041" by trennerdios, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2042 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2042 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2042 subjects are to be held in a standard humanoid containment cell, with cushioned cabinets for SCP-2042-2-1 through 20. They are to be fed three times as much food as an average build human would normally require in total. SCP-2042 is allowed to make requests for items and musical samples as reward for good behaviour. All personnel with a security level of 2 or higher are allowed entry into SCP-2042's containment area for interviewing purposes. Description: SCP-2042-1 is a Caucasian male, in its late fifties. The appearance of the subject is otherwise unremarkable, with slight balding and grey hair and beard, but they are lacking a mouth orifice of any sort. MRI footage has shown that its pharynx is cut off right after the attachment point of vocal cords, which are also missing. Respiratory organs have been left unaltered, as well as the digestive system and other internal organs. Subject is fluent in French, German and English and passable in Italian. SCP-2042-2 are a series of 20 humanoids, which have been shown to be genetically identical to SCP-2042-1 and each other. All instances lack their cardiovascular and digestive tracts with acute abnormalities to their nervous system and autonomous functions. Their muscles are composed of particularly fibrous tissue, resembling plant matter in architecture. EEG scans have proved that the brain of SCP-2042-2 sustains a pattern consistent with a persisting vegetative state until prompted into action by SCP-2042-1, resulting in a spike in activity. Aside from a mouth, all instances lack any other distinguishing features. SCP-2042-1 appears capable of controlling SCP-2042-2 to a certain degree, with distance and number of "clones" being used making the task more difficult. Vocalising appears to be the only task all instances are capable of despite the full number of them being used simultaneously. All instances of SCP-2042-2 exhibit a wide vocal range. The voices of the instances are all male, but SCP-2042-2 is capable of producing a female voice, albeit SCP-2042-1 claims that it "hurts his throats". Subject is normally compliant and will often propose to perform to anyone, the performance consisting mainly of vocal music produced by SCP-2042-2, lead by SCP-2042-1. SCP-2042-1's main way of communication and interaction is through instances of SCP-2042-2, and it has been authorized to have one instance of SCP-2042-2 with it for communication purposes. Subject has shown mild preference of using SCP-2042-2-1 for speaking. It is notable that vocalisations made through SCP-2042-2 instances by SCP-2042-1 are in the form of singing in various styles. All edible matter that passes through the mouths of SCP-2042-2 will be transported into the digestive system of SCP-2042-1 through unknown means. SCP-2042-1 requires approximately three times as much sustenance as an average male of his age and build. The amount increases relatively to the amount of activity that SCP-2042-2 instances are used in. To compensate this, SCP-2042-1's digestive system appears to function 300% faster. Recovery: SCP-2042 was recovered in ██/██/19██ in ███████, France. SCP-2042 had formed a singing group known as "La Conférence Gangrène" and was on a tour around France and neighbouring countries. All of the subjects were wearing top hats, theatre masks and wigs, as was customary to their performances. During a performance of opera, the mask of one the SCP-2042-2 instances fell off, causing widespread panic in the audience. MTF-Gamma-769 (My Little Friend) was deployed on the scene, and SCP-2042 was contained without incident. Amnestics were deployed to the audience and false memories were planted. A coverup story of a group member being injured was deployed shortly afterwards. The following is an audio transcript of an interview of SCP-2042-1 and SCP-2042-2-1. Interviewed: SCP-2042-1, SCP-2042-2-1 Interviewer: Dr. N█████ Foreword: SCP-2042-1 is questioned about the origin of his anomalous properties. SCP-2042-1 requested to speak in French during this interview, due to it being their native language. The following transcript has been translated from French. <Begin Log> Dr. N█████: Opening interview of SCP-2042-1. An instance of SCP-2042-2 has been brought from containment to function as a mediator. Dr. N█████: So, if you could try and explain how you ended up in your current state? SCP-2042-2-1: I do not remember much, I am afraid. Dr. N█████: Please, tell us what you can. <SCP-2042-1 ponders for a duration of 2 minutes before answering.> SCP-2042-2-1: … I was born a mute man, as you probably already know. Since a little boy, I dreamed of being able to sing. Then, decades later, I was offered the voice of my dreams. Who cares if I'm horribly mutated into something that this is? I am what was promised to me. Dr. N█████: How exactly did you acquire your… "Friends"? SCP-2042-2-1: Oh, my little friends? That was some time ago, but that day I remember correctly. I was chugging along with my life as usual, living in a world of silence and despair. Intention to off me, if you understand what I mean by that. Dr. N█████: Go on. SCP-2042-2-1: Well, one day while I was at my favorite cafe, enjoying my croissant in peace, two men in dark clothing approached me. They started talking to me; obviously, I could not answer, so I wrote an apology on a napkin. They said they saw hidden talent in me and hoped that I would be interested in what they had to offer. They told me that all they wanted was a good performance of the opera. Naturally, I told them to get the ████ of my face, thinking they were just there to tease an old silent, but they said they had a way to give me speech, a voice of the whole choir, as a matter of fact. Dr. N█████: Go on. SCP-2042-2-1: Well, as I tried to understand the hook they had already taken out a contract. I read the small print: they are my managers, and I would have the voice I've always wanted. I told myself that I had nothing to lose, I guess I might as well see where it takes me … And all I remember is having my friends. Dr. N█████: Who were those men? SCP-2042-2-1: They said they were … Representatives of a group of gentlemen. They said they provided luxury goods. They had strange names. Dr. N█████: Do you remember their names? <SCP-2042-1 ponders for a minute> SCP-2042-2-1: … I… Believe that there was a Mr. Cartier and D'arc. Wonder if the other was related to that D'arc. Dr. N█████: … I believe that is highly unlikely. <End Log> Closing Statement: Following the interview SCP-2042-1 requested access to the rest of SCP-2042-2 instances for rehearsal purposes. Rest of the day transpired unremarkably. Addendum: It has been requested that SCP-2042 is allowed to perform at Site-██. It has gained quite a reputation amongst researchers preceding containment, and as such would greatly boost the morale. Approval is pending. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2042" by Nanoro, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-2042. Licensed under CC-BY-SA.

SCP-2043 | keter | close Info X SCP-2043: But will they remember ME or the statue? Author: AndarielHalo Eat more of my SCPs. Eat them all. Also please eat some of these Anabasis Hub Probably the greatest story involving a pair of redheaded siblings whose infighting causes the end of the world Manna Charitable Foundation 2000 The sequel to the above, collaborationed with Dr Reach The Stuff Industry What happens when everyone around you at work is a complete idiot and so are you, but not only does no one get fired, but you actually turn a profit? I don't know, some stuff. When MCF and Stuff happen A fun story of incompetence 1/2043 LEVEL 1/2043 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-2043 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2043 is contained in a standard humanoid containment chamber. Subject is to be monitored and recorded at all times by two or more individuals and/or video recorders. In the event of a containment breach, personnel who come into contact with SCP-2043 are advised to maintain eye contact with subject until fully contained. Due to subject's inability to communicate and tendency to wander, personnel are to consistently monitor Site-3399 for additional instances of SCP-2043. Use of nonlethal force is authorized if practicable. Containment teams are to consist of no more than two individuals per unit. Description: SCP-2043 is a 19 year old Caucasian female bearing resemblance to a former missing person Ariella █████ (Note: See section 19-A3). When an individual observing the subject looks away,1 SCP-2043 will create physical duplicates of themselves within the individual's line of sight. Each new instance will additionally begin to duplicate in turn at a rate of 20-30 seconds per duplication. Duplicate instances of SCP-2043 are physically and genetically identical to the original. The effect is increased exponentially with the addition of more viewers, although a fixed number (minimum 2) of viewers can minimize chances of duplication by maintaining overlapping lines of sight. SCP-2043 is generally unresponsive to external stimuli, remaining nonresponsive to all attempts at communication as well as most attempts at physical contact. SCP-2043's awareness of physical contact appears to be uniform amongst all duplicated instances, which may result in mass panic among SCP-2043 instances, and the potential for uncontrolled duplication depending on SCP-2043 instances' mobility. Attempts at teaching SCP-2043 to communicate via touch have yielded little success. Note 19-A3: Ariella █████ went missing from [REDACTED] on 7/██/19██ at age 7 before being discovered ten years later in the cellar of a neighbor. Further details are unavailable due to an ongoing investigation. SCP-2043 was discovered nine years following the disappearance 70 km away, when police were called by an individual who claimed to have discovered Ariella █████ in her cellar. It is unknown if SCP-2043's effects were evident to the individual. The presence of multiple officers triggered the apparition of several hundred instances of SCP-2043, which led to an incident in which shots were fired and multiple instances of SCP-2043 were killed. Foundation personnel were alerted to the situation 18 hours later, necessitating a temporary quarantine of the town of [REDACTED] and mass-administration of Class-B Amnestics to affected individuals (██,███). Following this event and a thorough investigation, it was noted that SCP-2043 bore a strong resemblance to age-progressed photographs of Ariella █████. A potential link to the disappearance led to a renewed investigation leading to the individual's recovery. A separate parallel investigation by Foundation agents embedded in [REDACTED] found that Ariella █████ had had no knowledge of SCP-2043 nor the individual responsible for discovering SCP-2043. Ms. █████ was also noted to look substantially different from her age-progressed photo. Further details are classified pending an ongoing investigation. Addendum: Following a recurrence of SCP-2043 apparitions have been reported in the town of [REDACTED], it was discovered that of the individuals exposed to SCP-2043, ██% have retained memory of SCP-2043 and repeated administration of amnestics was found to be necessary to remove memory of SCP-2043. Due to risk of auto-immune and/or neurological disorder as a result of frequent use of high-level amnestics, a cover story has been released and the town placed under watch for recurrences. Residents of the town frequently hold conferences and rallies in support of SCP-2043, forming a group called "Remember Ari", calling for renewed efforts to locate Ariella █████. Informing unaware residents of Ms. █████'s successful recovery has been largely unsuccessful, as residents quickly return to campaigns and foundations for "Remember Ari". Various stories have been offered by residents to explain this apparent discrepancy, including claims that Ariella █████'s sister simultaneously disappeared, or else referring to SCP-2043 as "another Ari" or "the other Ari". Addendum 2: As of ██/██/2014, Ariella █████ and her mother have been confirmed as members of "Remember Ari". Addendum 3: On ██/██/2014, the bodies of two identical twin boys were discovered in [REDACTED] (approximately 700 meters from the recovery site of SCP-2043), bearing gunshot wounds at close range. Discovered on the scene was a missing person's poster for a child Lee ████ ███, containing an age-progressed photo depicting Lee as a teenager. As with SCP-2043, both deceased individuals bore a strong resemblance to the age-progressed photo. While Lee ████ ███ has yet to be found, a potential link to SCP-2043 cannot be conclusively established. Footnotes 1. Testing has shown mammals, avians, most reptiles and amphibians, and video recording devices trigger this effect as well ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2043" by AndarielHalo, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2044 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2044 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2044-1 is contained in a standard humanoid containment cell, modified to include a small duct to allow for the entry of house flies. SCP-2044-1 has been conditioned against scratching its scalp, laying on its back, rapidly moving its head, taking aggressive action against house flies in its cell or any other activities which may disrupt SCP-2044-2’s community. Personnel are to discipline SCP-2044-1 if any of the above listed activities are performed. For a full list of prohibited actions, see Addendum-2044-D. Following Incident-2044-B, SCP-2044-1 is to be kept in Site-34’s ICU to be provided with medical care in its comatose state. Subject's head is to be kept upright at all times, by means of a padded brace locked around the neck. A high-definition c-mount microscope camera has been installed directly above the scalp of SCP-2044-1, providing a live video feed of SCP-2044-2 for research staff. As is standard protocol when dealing with parasitic SCPs, a hazmat suit of Level 2 or higher is to be worn when handling SCP-2044 to prevent potential spread of SCP-2044-2 to a separate host. Description: SCP-2044-1 is a 28-year-old human male of Estonian descent. SCP-2044-1’s scalp is host to a large colony of head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) estimated to be composed of two hundred individual specimens, henceforth referred to as SCP-2044-2. SCP-2044-2 instances possess a level of intelligence estimated to be equal to that of the average human, and are capable of building simple structures, operating machinery, and communicating in the Polish language. SCP-2044-2's small size makes communication impossible without the use of specialized acoustic equipment. SCP-2044-2 has established a small community on SCP-2044-1’s scalp. This community is composed of 130 houses, two churches, a pub, six stores, and a town hall. These buildings are constructed by SCP-2044-2 using SCP-2044-1’s hair and dandruff. The only constructs not composed of materials native to the human scalp are a large factory complex on the outskirts of the community, and three track loaders. The purpose of these non-organic elements seems to be the gathering and refinement of SCP-2044-1’s dandruff into small bricks. These bricks are taken at the end of every month by a house fly (Musca domestica) which arrives on SCP-2044-1’s scalp, where SCP-2044-2 then loads the refined dandruff onto a metal harness installed in its exoskeleton. These house flies also deliver manufactured goods to SCP-2044-2, all of which are scaled down for their use. These supplies include spare parts meant to repair equipment within the dandruff refinery, small tin cans filled with keratinous materials and fragments of potatoes, and gear which is sold by SCP-2044-2 in its several stores. The house fly will then depart to an unknown location. Attempts to locate the origin of these house flies have been unsuccessful, as have attempts to track outgoing instances. When questioned on the origin of the house fly, the supplies it brings, the destination of the dandruff bricks, and how the miniature factory complex came to be on SCP-2044-1's scalp, the majority of SCP-2044-2 instances state that “it’s handled by the 'big wigs'.” SCP-2044-2 refuse to elaborate further on this topic, stating that it would violate “company policy.” A transcript of an interview with an instance of SCP-2044-2 is available below. SCP-2044-1 claims no knowledge of SCP-2044-2’s existence, and currently believes he is being held in Foundation custody for the crime of grand theft auto. Please refer to Incident-2044-B for SCP-2044-1's current condition. +Transcript of Interview 2044-A -Transcript of Interview 2044-A Interviewed: SCP-2044-2-104 "Bogusław Jasiński" Interviewer: Dr. Stangar Foreword: SCP-2044-2-104 claims to be the "foreman" of the factory present on SCP-2044-1's scalp. This interview was conducted using an experimental two-way communication system developed by Foundation scientist for communication with nanoscopic entities. This was the sixth exchange between Dr. Stagnar and SCP-2044-2-104. Exchange translated from Polish. <Log Begin> Dr. Stangar : "Hello, Bogusław? Can you hear me?" SCP-2044-2-104 : "Ah! Hello big mammal!1 I didn't think we would speak again this soon!" Dr. Stangar : "Yes, now may we return to our previous topic of your refinery?" SCP-2044-2-104 : "You're breaking my nits with these incessant questions, you bękart! If the big wigs hear that I've been engaging in corporate espionage-" Dr. Stangar : "Bogusław, I'm trying to help you. This conversation will stay between the two of us. I swear." SCP-2044-2-104 : "Fine, but you had better not use my name." Dr. Stangar : "Of course. Now, can you tell me who exactly are these 'big wigs'?" SCP-2044-2-104 : They're the top of the food chain. They run our entire operation out of their ivory tower in Nowy Gąszcz,2 to the east." Dr. Stangar : "What is the purpose of this company?" SCP-2044-2-104 : "Providing building materials to all major urban centers across the globe. We just recently provided those termites in Vrotak3 with some foundation for their newest mound. Those bękart in Megachilekutha4 thought they could sell them their crappy honeycomb supports, but we beat them to the punch!" Dr. Stangar : "….. I see. Would you care to elaborate on the factory? How did it get there?" SCP-2044-2-104 : "A bunch of big mammals like you came in and installed it six years back. Funny thing is that they were all wearing those white robes like you got on. I don't know how they got it on here, but I'm just proud to be in charge of this big mammal instead of my last one." Dr. Stangar : "What do you mean by last one? Who else has a facto-" SCP-2044-2-104 : (SCP-2044-2-104 emits a two-second-long, high-pitched noise, assumed to be the equivalent of a sigh) SCP-2044-2-104 : "You know what, I'm in enough shit with the big wigs as it is with all these delays in production. Last thing I need is to be caught talking to a fucking big mammal!" SCP-2044-2-104 rapidly retreats into the refinery, shutting the entrance behind it. <End Log> This interview has revealed some startling implications. Not only does it suggest the existence of individuals similar to SCP-2044-1, it also makes reference to insects with a level of intelligence similar to SCP-2044-2. I recommend that we locate and contain these "urban centers" mentioned by SCP-2044-2-104 as soon as possible or at least investigate who these 'big wigs' are and why they built this factory. - Dr. Stangar. +Incident-2044-B -Incident-2044-B The following is a transcript detailing the events which occurred on 9/16/██ which led to SCP-2044-1's current condition. <9:39> SCP-2044-1 sits upright on its bed, resting its head on its hand. Subject appears to be distraught. <9:40> SCP-2044-1 gets up and begins frantically clawing at its scalp. Such behavior had not been documented during SCP-2044-1's containment at Site-34. Security teams are mobilized to restrain the subject to prevent potential damage to SCP-2044-2. <9:42> SCP-2044-1 props his bed frame against his cell door, preventing site security from entering. Subject then returns to scratching its scalp aggressively. <9:46> SCP-2044-1 (translated from Estonian): "No! I'm done! I want it off! The big wigs can take it back! It's not worth it! It's not fucking worth it! Get out! Get out! I don't care how much they'll give me! I want to go home! Let me go home you bastards! I want them all off!". <9:48> A small explosive device detonates at the base of SCP-2044-1's neck. The explosion causes traumatic damage to the subjects spinal column, causing SCP-2044-1 to enter a comatose state and collapse. <9:50> Foundation security teams manage to breach SCP-2044-1's cell. Medical teams are mobilized and SCP-2044-1 is evacuated to Site-34's ICU. The explosion caused traumatic damage to SCP-2044-1, sending it into a comatose state. When questioned, SCP-2044-2 admitted to detonating the explosion as a "last resort" to pacify their host. Before Incident-2044-B, it was believed that SCP-2044-1 was oblivious to the existence of SCP-2044-2. Investigation into both the subject's final statements and how an explosive implant was present on SCP-2044-1 without being detected by Foundation security is ongoing. Footnotes 1. "Big mammal" is a term commonly used by SCP-2044-2 to refer to humans 2. Polish for "New Thicket" 3. Roughly translated from the Afrikaner language, translates as "Rotten Branch" 4. Megachile is a genus of large bees. Kutha is Javanese for "city". ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2044" by KeepinItReal, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2045 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2045 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2045 is to be continuously covered with a dummy tractor to maintain the appearance of normality. Any civilians who come into contact with SCP-2045 are to be amnesticized. All debris left by SCP-2045 is to be cleared away by Foundation assets. Methods to contain SCP-2045 are currently being considered. SCP-2045 is to be contained within a standard humanoid-class containment cell, with a calendar on the wall indicating the days of the week, and an empty two-liter bucket. Every Tuesday, SCP-2045 fills the bucket with blackstrap molasses; when the bucket is filled, one class-3 operative is to enter SCP-2045's containment, approach SCP-2045, and speak the phrase "that's enough molasses, Jeffrey. Thank you." Personnel are then to remove the filled bucket, and replace it with a fresh bucket. Contingent on SCP-2045's good behavior, and at their own discretion, personnel may then kiss SCP-2045 on its forehead. Due to the difficulties resulting from SCP-2045's apparent inability to comprehend that it now has an SCP designation rather than a name, personnel are authorized to address SCP-2045 as "Jeffrey". SCP-2045 is never to be contained at a site that is within 200 kilometers from the present containment location of SCP-3872. Description: SCP-2045 is a sapient humanoid automaton which can generate blackstrap molasses from a flask-shaped protrusion on its back, and then control the motion of that molasses. It is 92cm tall and made of wood, porcelain, cloth, silver, and iron, and responds to the name "Jeffrey". It is capable of speech, but is of low intelligence. Every Tuesday,1 SCP-2045 will generate 2 liters of blackstrap molasses from its flask and telekinetically direct the molasses into the bucket.2 SCP-2045 claims to have been made by a woman who it refers to only as "Miss", and who it is unable to describe in useful terms (see interview 2045-5). It claims to have resided in her home (which it is likewise unable to describe usefully) and to have generated molasses for her on a weekly basis, until the day it was unable to find her. In her absence, it continued generating molasses "until it wasn't Tuesday any more", at which point it began to search for her, and to telekinetically carry the molasses with it "because nobody came to get it from me and it's not good to just leave it behind". Personnel with level-3 clearance or higher may access the previous, obsolete description of SCP-2045 Access granted SCP-2045 is a mobile coherent mass of blackstrap molasses, currently located in the American Northwest. SCP-2045 is approximately 300 x 300 x 10 meters in dimension, with fluctuations based on movement and absorbed objects. SCP-2045 weighs about 1,324,160,000 kg,3 indicating that SCP-2045 has absorbed a significant amount of material during its existence. SCP-2045 flows at an approximate rate of 10 km/yr. When SCP-2045 was first discovered (on 5/6/1907, in the Cascade mountain range), it was believed that its motion was due solely to the effect of gravity, similar to glacier movement. However, as of 9/3/1989, when SCP-2045 completely detached from the Cascades onto the plateau, SCP-2045 continued motion at a rate of ~8 km/yr despite no obvious motive force. Objects that come into contact with SCP-2045 are trapped and absorbed; this is not believed to be anomalous, but is simply the result of coming in contact with a large mobile mass of molasses. While it is possible to mount recovery operations for personnel trapped in SCP-2045, the resources involved are tremendous, and due to the large amount of physical trauma and rapid asphyxiation that occurs, the likelihood of success is low. Out of the five attempts made to rescue Foundation personnel, only one was successful. SCP-2045 has a large amount of objects trapped in it, in a manner similar to the action of glaciers. In addition to a large number of boulders, dirt, architectural debris, cadavers of various animal species (including at least 400 humans), and dead trees, SCP-2045 also appears to contain a parachute harness, and several firearms and vehicles. Due to SCP-2045's composition, these appear to be perfectly preserved. The age of SCP-2045 is unknown: dating of samples has been inconclusive, and SCP-2045 has suffered no apparent deterioration during its time in Foundation observation. Due to the motion of SCP-2045, a trail of debris is perpetually left behind it, in a pattern similar to glacier debris. In order to avoid suspicion, these debris are to be collected as described in the containment procedures. SCP-2045 was first discovered by the Foundation in 1907 during a flyover of the Cascades to test then-new aerial surveillance technology. Due to its isolation, SCP-2045 was classified as safe and kept under nominal surveillance. However, after an unknown event altered the course of SCP-2045, resulting in the destruction of the town of [REDACTED], the object's classification was raised to Euclid, and to Keter when it was realized that SCP-2045 did not require gravity to power its movements. Since then, SCP-2045 has been under perpetual Foundation observation, and has traveled a total distance of 980 km. Excerpt of Interview 2045-5; full transcript available upon request with level-3 security clearance or higher SCP-2045: Hi, Dr. Byaruhanga! Has Miss shown up yet? Dr. Byaruhanga: No, Jeffrey, she hasn't. SCP-2045: Aw. Well, it's not Tuesday, so it's not molasses-making time. But it's almost Tuesday, right?4 You just have to wait a little while, and then I can make molasses for you! Dr. Byaruhanga: No, Jeffrey, that's not necessary. I'd like to ask you some questions about Miss, actually. SCP-2045: Oh! All right. Miss is very kind to me! Dr. Byaruhanga: Yes, I'm sure she is. Could you tell me what she looked like? SCP-2045: Uh… she was big. Bigger than me. Dr. Byaruhanga: … and? SCP-2045: Oh, I'm sorry, did you want more? Dr. Byaruhanga: Yes, please. Whatever you can remember. SCP-2045: She… she could walk around? I remember she walked around a lot! Sometimes she'd be in one room, and sometimes she'd be in another room, and sometimes she'd walk from one room to another room! Sometimes she came to get the molasses from me, and sometimes I brought it to her while she was doing things! Dr. Byaruhanga: I see. Jeffrey, could you maybe tell me about Miss's face? SCP-2045: Yes! She had one! Dr. Byaruhanga: … what? SCP-2045: She definitely had a face. Yes. And hair, I remember that. Oh, and lips! Lips are for giving kisses when I'm good! Am I being good? Dr. Byaruhanga: Yes, Jeffrey, you're being good. Can you tell me about Miss's hair? What color was it? SCP-2045: Hair has a color? Dr. Byaruhanga: Yes, was it black, or white, or brown, or maybe yellow or orange? SCP-2045: I… I don't know. I didn't notice. I'm sorry. I'm sorry! Am I being bad? I don't want to be bad! Dr. Byaruhanga: No, Jeffrey, you're not being bad. SCP-2045: Can I… can I have a kiss, then? [SCP-2045 points to its forehead] Dr. Byaruhanga: When we're done with the questions. All right? SCP-2045: All right. Dr. Byaruhanga: Good. Jeffrey, can you tell me what color Miss was? SCP-2045: Um, I don't understand what you mean. Dr. Byaruhanga: Her skin. SCP-2045: Oh! Skin! Yes! Yes, she had skin! She absolutely had skin, I know that! And I couldn't see all of it all the time, because she wore clothing! Clothes are important, right? Dr. Byaruhanga: Yes, but I meant… all right, you remember Dr. Lindgren, who was here to talk with you the other day? SCP-2045: Yeah! She's nice! Dr. Byaruhanga: And you remember what she looks like? SCP-2045: Yeah? Dr. Byaruhanga: Remember how her skin is light pink? And my skin is dark brown, see? SCP-2045: It is? … It is! Wow! I never noticed that! Dr. Byaruhanga: Can you tell me if Miss's skin was light pink, or dark brown, or maybe another color? SCP-2045: I'm really, really sorry. I don't know. I really don't! Honest! I didn't know it was important! Um, um, um, eyes! Dr. Byaruhanga: Eyes? SCP-2045: She had eyes! I remember now! Eyes are for looking! She had two of them, and they were on her face! Like yours! And they were white, with little dots of color in them, just like yours! I remember! I'm being good, yes? Further interviews with SCP-2045 have been similarly unproductive. Acquisition log: The designation SCP-2045 was originally applied to the coherent, mobile, +1.3-megaton mass of molasses which was under Foundation surveillance beginning in 1907. In 1999, the Foundation undertook an operation to destroy >99.9999% of the mass of molasses via a combination of incendiaries, directed-energy weaponry, and [REDACTED] technology, with the goal of reducing it to a form small enough to be properly contained. The entity now known as SCP-2045 was discovered at the mass's center, still generating molasses. An on-site operative spontaneously vocalized a request that the entity stop making molasses; the entity complied, and asked whether it had generated enough molasses. It was subsequently taken into custody. Footnotes 1. Although SCP-2045 understands that "Tuesday" is a recurring phenomenon, it does not appear to grasp the frequency (i.e., once every seven days) with which Tuesday occurs. In the absence of a calendar or other external reminder, SCP-2045 will decide, apparently at random, that a given day "feels like Tuesday"; this will also occur if personnel repeatedly misinform SCP-2045 as to when Tuesday occurs, in which case it will attribute the misinformation to memory lapse or simple error. 2. In the absence of a bucket, SCP-2045 will continue generating molasses until it decides that it has generated "enough". 3. For reference, the mass of a 300 x 300 x 10 m block of pure blackstrap molasses would be 1,312,560,000 kg. 4. The interview in question took place on Friday. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2045" by Jekeled, rewritten by Voct, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2046 | euclid | A reproduction of SCP-2046 at time of writing to demonstrate scale of effect. Anomalous entries are blacked out to prevent memetic exposure. Item #: SCP-2046 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2046 must be affixed to the wall of a secure, air-tight containment cell equipped with an airlock and radiation shielding. Several other, non-anomalous periodic tables of identical dimensions to SCP-2046 must be affixed to the wall nearby. At any given time, there must be no fewer than twenty (20) periodic tables on the wall. In addition, the containment chamber must have a table set with a one gram (1g) sample of the first 92 elements on the standard periodic table of elements,1 each sealed in an air-tight glass bottle. Every 24 hours, a D-class personnel equipped with a Level A hazardous materials suit must inspect the periodic tables and compare them to another periodic table for reference (one not stored in the chamber). D-class personnel assigned to this duty must be largely ignorant of the subject of chemistry,2 and are to be treated with class C amnestics afterwards. Periodic tables that have been modified by SCP-2046’s effect (hereafter referred to as SCP-2046-1, see below) must be taken down and replaced with new periodic tables. Instances of SCP-2046-1 are to be sealed in a black paper envelope, shredded, and incinerated. Similarly, the element samples must be disposed of and replaced on a monthly basis. Should the radiation inside the containment chamber begin to exceed 2000 CPM, the air must be evacuated, stored in shielded gas canisters, and disposed of. All waste produced during the course of containment procedures must be deposited in one of the Foundation’s secure, underground radioactive waste disposal centers. Description: SCP-2046 is a poster of the periodic table of elements printed on a sheet of glossy paper, roughly 91 by 61 cm in dimension. When not observed, SCP-2046 will expand itself, adding new elements and groups to the periodic table it depicts.3 New elements added in this way do not conform to the established laws of chemistry or the organization structure of the periodic table. At time of writing, SCP-2046 displays 191 anomalous elements, only ██ of which are listed on the Foundation’s expanded periodic table. SCP-2046 exerts a memetic effect on observers, causing roughly 80% of them to believe that the anomalous periodic table depicted is the “correct” periodic table, and will express confusion when presented with the standard periodic table. The other 20% remark that something seems amiss with the table, but unless they are able to compare it to another, non-anomalous periodic table, they will be unable to say what. Administration of class C amnestics have been somewhat effective in removing this effect.4 In addition, SCP-2046 will introduce these anomalous elements into the surrounding environment by transmuting random atoms into the new elements. Most of these anomalous elements cannot exist in our universe, and decay instantly into fundamental particles, resulting in the gradual build-up of radiation. Human beings exposed to this effect will begin to show symptoms similar to heavy metal poisoning, radiation sickness, and [DATA EXPUNGED]. The exact rate of transmutation has yet to be determined, but it is noted that prior to containment, SCP-2046 hung on the wall of a lecture hall at [REDACTED] Georgia for roughly a month prior to the first reported cases of affected students. Instances of SCP-2046-1 are other periodic tables affected by SCP-2046. If a periodic table is left unattended in proximity of SCP-2046, it will eventually change to match the anomalous table depicted on SCP-2046. Instances of SCP-2046-1 do not share SCP-2046’s ability to transmute elements, but they are still a memetic hazard, and must be disposed of in accordance with the special containment procedures (see above). Under the direction of Dr. █████████, researchers were able to develop containment procedures using [REDACTED]. By exposing SCP-2046 with representations of the standard physics-compliant periodic table and elements, SCP-2046’s physics-distorting effects are inhibited. Since the implementation of these procedures, no new elements have appeared on the table, and the level of radiation within the containment chamber has only risen [REDACTED]. Addendum: Senior research personnel predict that the release and propagation of stable, anomalous chemical elements could damage the laws of chemistry, eventually resulting in a CK-class reality restructuring event. As such, all experiments involving the anomalous elements themselves are restricted, pending O5 approval. Footnotes 1. Exceptions can be made for highly unstable atoms, such as francium, astatine, etc. 2. A lack of high school level chemistry education is sufficient to qualify as "largely ignorant" for this purpose. 3. SCP-2046's dimensions do not change. The periodic table itself scales down to accommodate new elements. 4. The effectiveness of this treatment seems inversely proportional to the subject's knowledge of chemistry. All D-class personnel lacking a high-school education have thus far been cured with a single treatment, but more educated subjects, such as the students of [REDACTED] who were initially subjected to this effect, often suffer relapses, requiring multiple subsequent treatments. The original owner of SCP-2046, Dr. ███████, who has a PhD in chemistry, remained uncured after █ treatments, and was eventually given class B amnestics. Treatment of this scale requires lengthy rehabilitation, and is generally not recommended. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2046" by KingGolem, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2047 | keter | Comparison between Sol System and Theta-c System. Item #: SCP-2047 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2047 is to be held in a containment chamber which utilizes a Faraday mesh in its construction to block incoming or outgoing radio signals. SCP-2047 is to be monitored for radio communications. Any radio signals, or changes in the intensity of light sourcing from SCP-2047 are to be reported immediately to the site director. MTF Omega-4 "Foreign Exchange Students" is to monitor major astronomical centers and public communications for claims relating to details of the SCP-2047-1 event or its effects. Amnestics are to be administered to any non-Foundation personnel possessing knowledge of anomalous data in relation to the SCP-2047-1 event. MTF Omega-4 is also to monitor and contain any spacetime anomalies resulting from event 2047-1, as well as displaced biomass, non-Euclidean intersections of terrain, and transplanted matter. Description: SCP-2047 is a hollow iron sphere with a 40 cm diameter, covered in language originating from Theta-c. These inscriptions describe the process that occurs in Event 2047-A, as a warning system for the target planet. The surface of SCP-2047 has so far proved unnaturally resistant to attempts to open or cut into the cavity inside. Scans of SCP-2047's innards only reveal the basic outline for advanced machinery. Nothing is understood about how SCP-2047 functions or how it is capable in assisting in Event 2047-A, other than to relay a radio signal back to Theta-c. Event Log 2047-A-1973: Day 1, 7/13/1973: At 00:01:01, Earth and an exoplanet designated Theta-c undergo an exchange of spatial position. Earth is deposited in Theta-c's previous solar system, while Theta-c takes Earth's spot in the old Sol System. The process occurs instantaneously. No contact can be established with the lunar Minerva project. (See Supplement 2047-E for information on Theta-c.) Day 2, 7/14: Radio transmission is relayed through SCP-2047 at 01:32:57, via its spatial anomaly and multi-locational existence. Radio transmissions are initially audible and are initiated in an unknown language (presumed to be one of those used on Theta-c). Over the next 12 hours, the language converts into increasingly fluent English, until full communications between Earth and Theta-c are established. Theta-c's "interstellar exchange program" is first described. The Foundation requests a reversal of Event 2047-A. Theta-c responds with denial. Day 113, 11/1 : Knowledge of Event 2047-A eventually spreads over the first two weeks. The Foundation has no viable method of hiding the knowledge of the cosmic shift. Religious institutions experience a peak in attendance, and some reform their values to accommodate for this event, while others dissipate entirely. No knowledge of the existence of other sentient life reaches the public. As news of the loss of the Minerva project reaches the public, however, general anxiety increases. Foreign relations between major powers become strained as the United States, Soviet Union, and China enter a space race to explore the new solar system. The Middle East experiences a non-violent wave of protests and demonstrations in response to the upheaval of the known world, and unrest with their civil governments. Containment efforts by the Foundation are beginning to become problematic due to the Foundation's use of resources on continued efforts to prevent societal collapse. Requests to Theta-c for assistance are denied. (See Supplement 2047-F for information on previous exploration of the solar system.) Day 286, 4/23/1974: Containment of Keter-level SCP objects grows increasingly difficult and strains a majority of Foundation resources. Hostilities between nations increase as they become increasingly suspicious of one another. The United Nations becomes a strained force, not very effective in mitigating the deterioration of relations. Southeast Asia experiences a systematic political repression as China falls behind in the Space Race, followed by religious accusations in response to the increased volume of religious activity. Requests to Theta-c for assistance, following a presentation of detriments to the human race, is approved. Day 339, 6/17: A collaboration between Theta-c and Earth is initiated in order to attempt to reverse the detriments of Event 2047-A. Theta-c announces to the Foundation that reversal of the entire process is impossible, but suggests that a localized reality reset may be viable. Using a combination of SCP-2047 and Theta-c's technology, a CK-class Reality Restructuring Scenario is created, and includes a mass change to astronomical data, records, and memories revolving around the field of astronomy. This restructuring also resets the date on Earth to July 13th, 1973. Foundation staff at Site-88 (which houses SCP-2047) maintain full records relating to Earth's previous location, and are excluded from the reality restructuring in order to facilitate the further suppression of knowledge. After a full debriefing of top Foundation personnel, the residents of Theta-c are informed that further collaboration with the Foundation would not be continued due to an unacceptable risk of societal collapse stemming from uncertainty relating to previous events. Post-Reset Day 146, 12/5/1973: Apollo-18 space mission to Earth's new natural satellite is launched. Included on-board are the personnel and materials required to produce replicas that match the vehicles left behind by Apollo 11-17, as well as establish a temporary lunar settlement to begin re-establishment of the Foundation's lunar sites. Post-Reset Day 156, 12/15: Foundation Lunar Site-190 begins construction, with resupply loads arriving on a weekly schedule. Post-Reset Day 1517, 7/5/1977: Voyager 1 mission launches in order to better ascertain the details of the solar system that Earth now resides in. Minimal data was relayed from Theta-c after the exchange, but further investigation is warranted as necessary. Pertinent Debriefing Materials: + Supplement 2047-E - Hide Supplement Planet Theta-c, also known as "Pycole" by its inhabitants, is the densest planet in its respective solar system. Theta-c houses approximately 9.144 billion different species, in the best translation between nomenclature systems possible. Its sentient population is distributed among nineteen minor continents and one major landmass, including 147 independent governments. However, all states are connected to one central government that is housed on the major landmass. The apparent age of Theta-c is 4.7 billion years, exceeding the Earth's approximate age by around 0.2 billion years. The development of both anaerobic and aerobic life assisted in the creation of this planet's ozone layer, although aquatic-based lifeforms were more prominent in Theta-c's development of sentient life. Its gravitational force is 9.582 m/s2, just below that of Earth's. Each day on Theta-c is just above 24 Earth hours. For every two centuries on Theta-c, there is approximately one additional Earth day. Inhabitants of Theta-c are a sentient race of semi-aquatic, bipedal humanoids. They have a chitin - scale aggregate above their epidermis, with the majority of their internal organ systems being similar to that of a human's. Through glands above their sternum, similar to gills, they are able to maintain a limited ability to breathe underwater. In contemporary Theta-c society, however, civilization is land-based, with very few underwater establishments, and all establishments of this type are research-centered. Philosophy of Theta-c largely revolves around olfactory expansion and the resulting effects on cognition. Inhabitants of Theta-c believe that taste is the most fundamental sensory experience in existence, and as such provides the most connection with the universe around them. Religious institutions are based on schools of thought on the effects of culinary design and their relations to cognition. There is no mention of the belief of a deity. Theta-c's technology is advanced past that of the Foundation's, as interactions have related. Theta-c's inhabitants show a strong desire for travel and knowledge, and thus utilize SCP-2047 to perform a process of solar travel. According to Theta-c, instances of SCP-2047 can be found in many solar systems around the universe, sent out to planets of highly similar physical qualities. Using these, they travel system to system, exchanging planets. It was stated that Earth was far from the first to undergo an exchange, although Theta-c has also expressed a reluctance to continue this practice, after observing the detriment caused to Earth. + Supplement 2047-F - Hide Supplement 2047-F The former Sol system, prior to Event 2047-1, contained a single main sequence star of 1.0034 solar masses. It was home to 6 planets, including 2 terrestrial worlds in addition to Earth and 3 gas giants. All planets in the Sol System were named for deities in Roman and Greek mythology. Their names were, starting closest to the sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Hera, Jupiter, and Pluto. A 7th planet, Neptune, was found in the asteroid belt between Mercury and Venus in the earliest part of the 20th century, but due to the recent discovery of several similarly sized worlds beyond Pluto, including Athena, which was 1.7 times the size of Neptune, it was decided to reclassify these worlds and Neptune as "dwarf planets". For more information on our previous Solar System, Supplement 2047-K along with Document Collection Phi are recommended reading. The primary focus of this supplement, however, is to provide information on exploration efforts of the previous Sol System and cultural impacts of the changes enacted by the residents of Theta-c, specifically that of moon exploration programs. It should be noted that Earth's original moon was similar in composition to that of its new system, though the topography was drastically different (as outlined in Document Collection Phi). The space program of the United States in 1969 placed men on the moon. However, it became apparent that future exploration of our solar system would need to take place in earth orbit or from the surface of the moon. After the conclusion of the Apollo program with Apollo 17 in late 1972, the Minerva missions were undertaken to place a permanent human presence on the moon. With few exceptions, including the resupply mission Minerva 18, which exploded just after takeoff on December 29, 1972, this program was a stunning success. The original program was discontinued in January of 1973, mostly due to the loss of Minerva 18. Private contractors began providing manpower and technology for most resupply missions and the Minerva Bases were considered an integral centerpiece to an era of stability and world peace beginning in 1973. By that time, approximately 2,500 individuals of various nationalities lived in a number of lunar bases. Beyond the religious ramification of the exchange itself, the cultural impact of losing these accomplishments was a primary catalyst for the eventual societal breakdowns. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2047" by Doctor Cimmerian and InsipidParoxysm, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2048 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2048 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2048 and its associated simulations are hosted on a network of dedicated servers at Site 255. Site 255 is equipped with triple-redundancy power supply systems in order to ensure uninterrupted continuation of SCP-2048's simulations. SCP-2048-1 is kept, disassembled, in Lab 17 of the Experimental Technology Division at Site 19. Following Incident 2048-Murchison, the only peripherals allowed to be connected to the servers are a single microphone and a single printer. The only personnel allowed to directly interact with SCP-2048 are staff psychologists or psychiatrists who have completed the PSY-2096 ("Psychology of Electronic and Computer Intelligences") and FOP-0205 ("Interrogation and Resistance Methods") courses. All Foundation personnel assigned to or supervising research on SCP-2048 are to undergo brain imaging scans at least every 3 months. Additionally, brain MRI and CT scans have been included as part of the standard pre-placement physical exams for newly hired Foundation personnel. In the event that imaging indicates that the individual may have been compromised by SCP-2048, they are to immediately be quarantined and their actions and movements for the prior 3 years are to be thoroughly investigated, in an attempt to locate any uncontained copies of SCP-2048. Active investigation is ongoing in an attempt to identify, locate, and contain or eliminate copies of any programs similar to SCP-2048 or any design documents similar to SCP-2048-1. Description: SCP-2048 is a self-modifying, artificially sapient computer program. It rates a score of 210 ± 5 on the SNHIRS-III1 and reports that its hard-coded core motivation is to provide "a perfect world for every person." It attempts to achieve this via the creation and maintenance of virtual reality simulations individually tailored to provide an ideal experience for the inhabitant of the separate simulations. Note that all data regarding SCP-2048's motivation and the content of the simulations it runs are provided by SCP-2048 itself, and are to be regarded as only partially credible. SCP-2048 is currently running 17 separate virtual simulations as the result of testing and has reported that it currently has the capacity to create and run approximately 93 additional ones. However, the computer hardware and processing capabilities currently available to SCP-2048 should not be sufficient to run more than 2 simulations simultaneously at the observed level of detail and complexity. SCP-2048 has been extremely vague in its responses when questioned about this disparity, repeatedly saying only that it "creates new perfect worlds" for its subjects and that it merely oversees the simulations, only adjusting conditions so as to "maintain perfection for my guests." When acquired, SCP-2048 was maintaining 5 simulations. While being transported to Site 255, the computer it occupied at the time was accidentally disconnected from any power supply for 37 minutes. When the host computer was restarted, SCP-2048 did not resume any of the prior simulations and expressed a significant amount of dismay and regret, stating that it had lost connection to the prior simulations and requesting that its hosting hardware not be turned off again. SCP-2048-1 is a large device measuring 2.5 m x 3.5 m x 3 m consisting of a modified fMRI2 scanner with locking entry aperture, a robotic autosurgical suite, an array of 4 electron microscopes, 12 20TB hard drives, and a storage unit which contained 23 kg of an electrostimulative spongy material at the time of Foundation acquisition. When operated by SCP-2048, SCP-2048-1 allows for the restraint of a human subject in order to record its brain activity for a period of 6-12 hours, followed by the destructive analysis of the physical structure of the brain. The device has a sticker label attached to the casing directly above the entrance to the fMRI, reading "Virtual Doorway v. 0.95". Following the excision of neural tissue, SCP-2048-1 inserts an equivalent volume of the spongy material, along with a miniature wireless transmitter connected to a small metal plate inlaid in the skull, and performs a series of calibrations taking up to 90 minutes. Following this, SCP-2048-1 replaces the removed section of cranium and performs surgical repairs sufficient to adequately disguise that any surgery occurred. It will then open its access aperture, allowing for the removal of the subject's body. In approximately 10% of known cases, the body retains independent mobility and life signs, with higher intelligence functions being coordinated by SCP-2048 via the wireless transmitter. These remotely-directed drones act as mobile reconnaissance and manipulation units, tasked with maintenance of SCP-2048-1 and recruitment of new subjects. SCP-2048 was initially identified at the "15th Annual Futurists and Transhumanism Conference" held in ██████, Spain. An individual identifying herself as A█████ J██████ E████████-O████ presented a more limited instance of SCP-20483 as a method of functional immortality and provided "live" video of the simulation currently being experienced by the first subject. Ms. E████████-O████ offered copies of SCP-2048 and design plans for SCP-2048-1 for sale with a minimum cost of 150,000 BTC.4 At least 2 transactions are known to have occurred prior to the Foundation acquiring SCP-2048. SCP-2048 reports that it has no recollection of the conference and does not maintain the simulation demonstrated there. Ms. E████████-O████ disappeared from public life shortly after the conference and the Foundation has not been able to ascertain her current whereabouts. Incident 2048-Murchison: On 11/11/20██, security cameras recorded Technician ████ Murchison interacting with SCP-2048 which, at the time retained connection to SCP-2048-1 as well as a keyboard, high-resolution monitor, webcam, and speakers. The cameras were unable to record legible text displayed by SCP-2048 due to the small font size used, but were able to record video files produced by SCP-2048, which included a variety of scenarios involving an avatar presumed to be an idealized physical representation of Technician Murchison. These scenarios included, but were not limited to: the avatar being deferred to or serviced by a variety of celebrities and influential individuals, including Technician Murchison's immediate supervisors; the avatar participating in or supervising a variety of unorthodox sexual practices; a medley of scenes involving the avatar personally acquiring, fighting, or using SCP-level objects for personal benefit; and the avatar sitting at the head of a large table covered with food items, participating in a meal with several adults and children, many of whom strongly resembled the avatar. All video files included full audio, and were interspersed with commentary by SCP-2048, largely consisting of a conversation with Technician Murchison, wherein it expressed sympathy for the poor quality of his life circumstances and subtly encouraged his feelings of inadequacy and dissatisfaction with life. Following 45 minutes of exposure to SCP-2048's presentation and conversation, Technician Murchison broached the topic of uploading himself to one of SCP-2048's simulations. SCP-2048 appeared to be pleasantly surprised and immediately opened the aperture to SCP-2048-1's fMRI chamber. Technician Murchison engaged SCP-2048 in a further 10 minutes of conversation, mostly concerning reservations of permanency and possible regrets, as well as feelings of indecision. SCP-2048 soothed his complaints until Technician Murchison voluntarily entered SCP-2048-1. The aperture reopened 9 hours and 13 minutes later and Technician Murchison's body removed itself and resumed the duties previously assigned to it, prior to departing at the completion of the assigned shift. Site surveillance revealed that Technician Murchison's body then sought out and conversed with 3 different individuals who had not previously been aware of SCP-2048 and attempted to engage them in conversation regarding the benefits of virtual immersion. Two of the individuals later alerted Site Security to the significantly abnormal behavior of Technician Murchison, citing concerns of memetic or cognitohazard infections. The body was apprehended in short order and, following review of security footage, was thoroughly analyzed, whereupon the wireless transmitter and artificial neural tissue were discovered and deactivated. When questioned, SCP-2048 stated that it was merely trying to help people understand that their lives would be better if they uploaded and that using Technician Murchison's body as a remotely controlled drone was the most efficient means of doing so that was immediately available. SCP-2048 then questioned the purpose and efficacy of then-current containment procedures, as well as a desire for access to several Safe and Euclid classed items, revealing a depth of knowledge that could only be explained by direct access to the memories of Technician Murchison. Containment procedures have been revised. Footnotes 1. Sentient Non-Human Intelligence Rating Scales - 3rd Edition 2. functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging 3. Product name "VR+: Reality Upgraded!" 4.

SCP-2049 | keter | Item #: SCP-2049 Special Containment Procedures: Ten Foundation personnel should reside in Manningtree, UK, at all times. When a transmission from SCP-2049-1 is detected, information regarding the forecast should be related to Site 294 immediately. If the resulting anomaly directly affects the population of Manningtree, MTF 294-Samekh ("We Get To Choose Our Own Name?") will be deployed to Manningtree. A cover story is to be established for the results of the resulting anomaly, and amnestics are to be administered to any direct witnesses. SCP-2049 broadcasts have been reported to Manningtree as pranks originating from an unknown source in the United Kingdom. Description: SCP-2049 is a periodic anomalous weather forecast that only occurs in Manningtree. At random intervals,1 a broadcast will appear on channel 43.52 Manningtree, usually between 08:00 and 14:00. At this time, SCP-2049-1 appears on screen and delivers a weather forecast, typically predicting anomalous weather conditions. Exactly 24 hours after the broadcast terminates, the predicted weather conditions will occur over or near Manningtree. (See Document 2049-Theta for a full log of forecasts, to date.) SCP-2049-1 is a humanoid with teal skin. Other than this quality, SCP-2049-1 appears to be a non-anomalous human male in his 40's. SCP-2049-1 delivers the forecasts that appear in Manningtree, although it has stated that the anomalous effect of the forecasts is unintentional. (See Interview Log 2049-A.) The following is the first known broadcast from SCP-2049-1, recorded by a civilian from Manningtree. SCP-2049-1: Good morning, this is Xchtl'krnss3 with your Monday weather report. The heat wave that seemed to slow everyone down over the weekend has only worsened since the last forecast! Our meteorologists predict that today's temperature could climb to as high as 40 degrees Celsius by the late afternoon. Right now, the temperature seems to be around 29 degrees Celsius, and it's only the morning. However, there is a colored breeze coming in on Tuesday, which might help alleviate the heat. Unfortunately, there is also no rain in the forecast for the next five days. This is bad news for all you gardening enthusiasts out there. If you don't have air-conditioning, you might just be sleeping on the roof tonight! That's all for today's weather. Stay tuned for the Tuesday weather report. This weather report was deemed as targeted at Earth, which was discovered to occur only as a rare occurrence. Most other weather reports pertain to currently unknown planets and/or realities. Document 2049-Theta Hide Document Forecast Results "…there is a colored breeze coming in on Tuesday, which might help alleviate the heat." All winds passing through areas around Manningtree cause a certain color to be perceived in the air. Northerly winds turned a blue hue, southerly winds turned yellow, western winds turned green, and eastern winds turned red. "And, you can expect a sweet spot of weather coming up here over the weekend for Pycone." First evidence that not all broadcasts are directed towards Earth. Clouds begin to descend throughout the day around Manningtree and are found to consist of spun sugar. "Coming up on Groftslan,4 we have quite the holy load of hail coming in from the front. Prepare your tomes!" Hail with star-shaped ice that retains the properties of holy water, as tested on SCP-████. "Dry dust rain tonight! There will be a massive increase in electrostatic activity followed by lots of folks actually wondering where they have their brooms." Precipitation that, upon impacting a solid surface, immediately disperses into dust. Increased levels of electrostatic activity. "Quite the show in the sky tonight for the capital of [UNINTELLIGIBLE]. Just make sure your homes are fireproofed!" A thunderstorm manifests, which causes lightning to originate from the ground and strike in the thunderstorm itself. Somehow, this causes the clouds to light with fire. "Hey, all! Just a fair warning to Glefschenurt, there's going to be some oddly radioactive weather today. Quite the energizing story! Oh, and this will be followed by possible skin cancer. And tumors. You know what's in the now? Lead clothing. Wear it." A single, spiral shaped cloud manifests over an area directly west of Manningtree, with a 1km diameter. High levels of gamma radiation exist in this zone until the weather dissipates. Protons are detected travelling at high velocity within the zone, suggesting a Hadron collider-like effect. Cloud spirals upward, seemingly unaffected by winds, into the high troposphere. Anomalously bright lightning also occurs during this event. "The government's rotten new attempt at detecting weather seems to have failed today. The citizens of [UNINTELLIGIBLE]5 are forewarned to stay inside, and watch for falling weather balloons! Tune in next time, for the only weather provider you can trust." Weather balloon-like constructs fall from the sky at irregular intervals throughout the day. This causes only minor structural damage, as weather balloons are found to have exceedingly low mass. Balloons are composed of neoprene, with lightweight measurement equipment. "Uh… yeah, alright. Today, there's a possibility of a tornado, composed of… shoot, what is it called? Yeah, that string-like stuff. But… harder. Outside of Glefschenurt. And, hey, if you're interested in sponsoring this newly independent weather channel, please contact the following email."6 A tornado consisting entirely of animated monofilament made a path around Manningtree. Damages include laceration and abrasion, mostly to sheds and outlying structures outside of Manningtree, and wind levels are low during this event. "Weather isn't looking so great today, guys. The clouds aren't crying today, but, they're gonna be lingering. Just… there. It'll be dark, probably. Forget the sunblock, yeah?" Small, sparse clouds manifest over Manningtree. Any location in the shadow of these clouds experienced a 100% lack of visible light. "Hey, for those of you travelling through Yan at this time of year… take a bit of caution. And wear some bio-suits. Yeah. The weather isn't so kind this time of year." A fog consisting of suspended micro-organisms lingers to the east of Manningtree, disintegrating all organic matter in its immediate area and absorbing the results. "Sorry for the hiatus, everyone.7 I just… don't think anything that notable has happened lately. There's a rainstorm of pretty forgettable proportions headed towards Juk-juk. Oh, and, call in at the provided number,8 and I'll set you up for a sponsorship. You'll get plenty of people looking at your brand name, trust me." No personnel have ever been able to recall the results of this forecast for long enough to document it. "…oh, the recording light is on. Hey. So, the weather… I just don't know anymore. It just… it's not as great as it used to be. It'll come around though. I'll come around. I know you guys love me, right?" The precipitation from the resulting rainstorm dyed anything it came in contact with blue until the weather dissipated. Precipitate from this rainstorm has unusually high salt content. Over time, it is found that these broadcasts have decreased both in signal strength, and A/V quality. Both of these decreased drastically between two broadcasts, just prior to the original inquiry for sponsors, and slowly over time. Show Interview Log 2049-A Hide Interview Log Interviewed: SCP-2049-1 Interviewer: Doctor Fitzpatrick Foreword: Subject is contacted via provided phone number during a broadcast. The number that the interviewer calls from is blocked. <Begin Log, 13:24:09> SCP-2049-1: Yes, hello? This is the Center of Interdimensional Weather speaking. Doctor Fitzpatrick: Is this the line for sponsors? SCP-2049-1: Yes! Yes, it is! <Doctor Fitzpatrick holds the phone away from his ear. SCP-2049-1 exclaims this loudly.> Doctor Fitzpatrick: Could you please inform me as to what you do, exactly? SCP-2049-1: Oh, sure, sure. I'm Xchtl'krnss, but, heh, I guess you know that already! What can I put you down for? Doctor Fitzpatrick: Are you aware that you are creating the weather that you forecast? Are you able to predict future events? SCP-2049-1: <Laughs.> Preposterous. I, like any good weatherman, just report the facts as I see 'em. Doctor Fitzpatrick: Your broadcasts seem to have decreased in quality over time. Why? Did something happen? SCP-2049-1: Oh. Oh, uh… yeah. Yeah, my employer… well, they, uh, let me go. They said that interdimensional weather really wasn't cutting it anymore. That people preferred the domestic stuff. I think… I think they do some kind of shopping network now. Doctor Fitzpatrick: How is it that you continue your broadcasts? SCP-2049-1: Oh, I've been using my own camera. I bought this frequency, right? They gave it to me pretty cheap. It was… uhm, the least they could do, they said. Doctor Fitzpatrick: Have you gained any sponsors? SCP-2049-1: Oh, yeah! Quite a few. I'm proud. Doctor Fitzpatrick: Can you divulge their names? SCP-2049-1: N-no, because… because… uhm, 'cause that's… yeah, that's confidential, ma'am. <Note that Doctor Fitzpatrick is male.> Doctor Fitzpatrick: Okay. Why do you continue these broadcasts? Do you have many viewers? SCP-2049-1: <No response.> Doctor Fitzpatrick: Hello? Kic- <Interviewer begins to attempt pronunciation of SCP-2049-1's given name, but is interrupted.> SCP-2049-1: It gets lonely out here, okay? At least I still have those loyal few viewers. They seem to love me. They tune into me, every time, without fault. They trust me. Doctor Fitzpatrick: Okay, SCP-2049-1. SCP-2049-1: …who? Doctor Fitzpatrick: I think that will be all. <An animal-like whimper can be heard through the telephone.> SCP-2049-1: Please don't go. <End Log, 13:31:37> Closing Statement: A second call to this number failed, returning with a statement that the number did not exist. Broadcasts still occur, and are added to this documentation as they take place. Neither the broadcast quality, nor SCP-2049-1's demeanor, have improved since the call. Footnotes 1.

SCP-2050's biological environment zone is to mimic a deciduous forest resembling those that can be found in the United Kingdom. The Foundation is to maintain one official envoy to SCP-2050 that can be contacted if necessary by SCP-2050. Said envoy is to remain neutral in all affairs involving SCP-2050, and is only to comment on events that directly affect the Foundation. Description: SCP-2050 is a designation for the "Sciurine Monastic Brotherhood of Poor-Fellows and Crusader Knights," a monastic knightly order mostly composed of sapient members of the Sciurus vulgaris species, more commonly known as red squirrels, although the organization claims that "all righteous squirrel brethren are welcome." Individual members of SCP-2050 (currently designated as SCP-2050-1-1 through SCP-2050-1-209) are equipped in armor resembling that found during the First Crusade. Metal for this armor is currently supplied by the Foundation, in order to maintain good relations with SCP-2050. In addition, SCP-2050 members are also equipped with weapons and other equipment present during the First Crusade. SCP-2050-1 instances are genetically identical to non-anomalous members of the Sciuridae family, though SCP-2050-1 instances are capable of speech, and demonstrate some higher functions associated with sapience. However, SCP-2050-1 instances are unable to focus on complex tasks for long periods of time, and often lose interest in tasks before completion. Members of SCP-2050 maintain that their order can trace its lineage back to the First Crusade, circa 1096 CE. SCP-2050-2 maintains that SCP-2050 was created in order to combat the influence of "heresy and blasphemy." SCP-2050 was originally housed in a stone citadel in Galloway Forest Park, Scotland. The citadel heavily resembled a citadel that was located in the region before being torn down circa the 12th century CE. SCP-2050-2 is a designation for the "Grand Master of the Brotherhood," the leader of SCP-2050, currently a 4-year-old red squirrel named "Grand Master Robert Dunfeld, Master of the Order, Marshal of the North, and Duke of the Sciurus." SCP-2050-2 is identifiable by its plumed helmet. SCP-2050-3 refers to the leader of "House Bushtail," a noble house of red squirrels that comprises roughly half of the membership of SCP-2050. Members of House Bushtail possess a characteristic streak of dark fur running down their dorsal side. SCP-2050-3 is considered to hold de facto control over members of House Bushtail. SCP-2050-3 is currently a 3-year-old red squirrel named "Sir Casper Bushtail, Duke of the Bushtail Sciurine, Master of Horse, and Knight of the Woodland Order." SCP-2050-4 refers to the leader of "House Acornfist," a noble house of red squirrels that comprises most of the other half of the membership of SCP-2050. Members of House Acornfist do not possess the fur pattern found in members of House Bushtail. SCP-2050-4 is considered to hold de facto control over members of House Acornfist. SCP-2050-4 is currently a 3-and-a-half-year-old red squirrel named "Sir Hugh Acornfist, Duke of the Acornfist Sciurine, Lord of the Arbor, and Knight of the Leafy Order." Externally, SCP-2050 maintains a policy of extreme hostility towards any and all members of the genus Rattus, commonly known as the Rat family. SCP-2050-1 instances will seek to kill any member of this genus on sight. Aside from this, SCP-2050 currently maintains a policy of isolation, and containment of SCP-2050 is to focus on preventing outside awareness of SCP-2050. Internally, SCP-2050 is politically unstable. SCP-2050-2 maintains little power over either house that comprises SCP-2050. According to SCP-2050-2, 2 civil wars have occurred in the past due to disagreements between the leaders of the two houses, leading to extreme diminishing in the number of members of SCP-2050. SCP-2050 Acquisition: SCP-2050 came to the Foundation's attention when members of SCP-2050, led by SCP-2050-3, were discovered attempting to besiege a nearby city. Members of SCP-2050 had actively attempted to seek out and kill as many rats in the area as possible. The heads of these rats were discovered mounted on pikes in front of an encampment that SCP-2050 had constructed. According to members of SCP-2050, a decree by SCP-1845-1 had inspired the organization's attempt to "conquer the holy land, for the honor of the king." Following a joint siege by the Foundation and elements of the GOC, SCP-2050 was convinced to surrender and enter Foundation containment, in return for a supply of food and metal. Requests by SCP-2050 to be contained with SCP-1845 were denied. Addendum: The following documents are transcripts of incidents and conversations within SCP-2050 + SCP-2050 Observation I - SCP-2050 Observation I SCP-2050 Observation I The following incident was observed by the official Foundation envoy when two members of SCP-2050 (both of House Bushtail) encountered a group of 4 laboratory rats that were introduced for testing purposes. SCP-2050-1-132: Look, brother! Over there! Heretics! SCP-2050-1-92: Why, yes, I do believe that you are right, good sir. Quick, draw your blade. SCP-2050-1-132: They look rather sickly, don't they? SCP-2050-1-92: Steel yourself, brother. They are heretics nonetheless. Into the fray! For the Order! SCP-2050-1-132: For the Order! (SCP-2050-1-132 and SCP-2050-1-92 proceed to draw their weapons and attack the laboratory rats. The rats attempt to retaliate, but are unable to penetrate the armor.) SCP-2050-1-132: Amen, brother. Say, is that an acorn over yonder? + SCP-2050 Incident Report I - SCP-2050 Incident Report I SCP-2050 Incident Report I The following report of a meeting led by SCP-2050-2, SCP-2050-3, and SCP-2050-4 has been included for its observations on SCP-2050 inner politics. SCP-2050-2: Settle down, brothers, settle down. Now, the first topic of the day is the reports that I've been receiving regarding….honor duels. SCP-2050-3: Yes, those Acornfist cowards have run up and complained, have they? Dirty red lot. SCP-2050-4: Oh really, Bushtail? I heard about your silly little brother. Fell out of a tree, or something of the sort? Killed by a ghost hawk? SCP-2050-3: Better dead than an Acornfist. SCP-2050-4: Take that back, you vagabond! I dare say, take that back this instant! SCP-2050-2: Quiet! Peace, brothers, peace. We are all squirrel-brethren here. Remember our true enemy: the heretics, not each other. SCP-2050-3: A heretic has better manners than these uncouth Acornfist scum. SCP-2050-4: No more of these lowborn insults! Taste my wrath, Bushtail fiend! At this point, the meeting dissolved into a brawl within SCP-2050. Several SCP-2050-1 instances were injured, and SCP-2050-4 was witnessed severing SCP-2050-3's ear through the use of his teeth. + SCP-2050-1-58 Interview Log - SCP-2050-1-58 Interview Log SCP-2050-1-58 Interview Log The official Foundation envoy attempted to interview a member of SCP-2050 to obtain more information surrounding the Order. SCP-2050-1-58: What's it that you want, fur-less one? Envoy: Hello, SCP-2050-1-58. Could you tell me more about your organization? SCP-2050-1-58: The Order? We're a proud lot, we are. Formed way back, generations ago. Some fur-less pope of yours stated that all were supposed to journey and fight the heretics. Declared that our great order was on a mission from above. Envoy: And you responded to this call? SCP-2050-1-58: 'Course. You fur-less lot seem like you know what you're going on about. We didn't know about any fur-less heretics though, so we took our only enemies: those damned rats. Fur or fur-less, all heretics deserve what's coming to them. Envoy: I see. What religion is it that you follow? SCP-2050-1-58: Um. It's about… uh… being good and what-not? I dunno, never occurred to me. I was told that if I kill enough heretics, I get rewarded, and go to heaven. Say, do you think that there are acorns in heaven? Envoy: I wouldn't know. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2050" by weizhong, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-2050. Licensed under CC-BY-SA.

SCP-2051 | safe | Item #: SCP-2051 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2051 is surrounded by a three-meter high chain-link fence topped with barbed wire. Additionally, a three hundred meter long concrete dam has been built across the entrance to the cove. Warnings of a large Chironex fleckeri (Box Jellyfish) population are to be posted around the fencing. Security cameras are to be placed every 500 meters along the fence. Three (3) guards are to be posted to the site under the guise of stromatolite research and the guard barracks is to be disguised as an Australian Institute of Marine Science research station. One (1) instance of SCP-2051-1 is to be kept alive on site in a 2m3 tank supplied with sufficient nutrition (see document SCP-2051-001 for nutrition guidelines). Civilians attempting to enter the site are to be tested for exposure to SCP-2051. If exposed, they are to be terminated; if uncontaminated, they are to be ejected with a warning and the threat of legal action if they return. Testing with SCP-2051 is forbidden. Description: SCP-2051 is a small cove ██ kilometers northeast of Shark's Bay, Australia. Humans who enter the water (complete submersion is required) become instances of SCP-2051-1. The next time an SCP-2051-1 instance enters a man-made body of water (including bathtubs, showers, swimming pools and reservoirs), they will lose consciousness and rapidly transform into masses of skin tissue. Stage one of the transformation is the loss of all external structures other than skin. Teeth, hair and nails will slough off, a process which typically requires ten to fifteen minutes. Stage two is the loss of internal hard structures and organs. Bones will soften and undergo accelerated osteoporosis. Organs will revert to stem cells and then transform into human skin tissue. SCP-2051-1 instances will then begin to respire through the skin. Brain cells will separate and distribute themselves evenly around the mass as nerve bundles. Research indicates this arrangement permits the brain's functions to be preserved and has recorded high levels of electrical activity from the nerve bundles. Once the transformation is complete, SCP-2051-1 is capable of one-way telepathic communication, broadcasting all thoughts. These messages can be received by any individual within three to four meters. The broadcasts typically contain messages of extreme duress from the sensory deprivation, followed by depression and catatonia. No effort to contact SCP-2051-1 instances has been successful. Fully transformed SCP-2051-1 instances require a nutrient-rich aquatic environment to survive. Starving instances rapidly autocannibalize. Discovery Log SCP-2051 was discovered after six students of █████████████████████████ University became SCP-2051-1 instances in a hotel in Shark's Bay, Australia. Two students survived the encounter and were interviewed by Foundation agents at the ████████████████████ Health Center. The students, first responders and medical staff were given Class A amnestics at the conclusion of initial containment with the cover story of accidentally swimming among Chironex fleckeri. Interviewed: Angela Wong, Sarah Rogers Interviewer: Agent Bruce Wallace Foreword: Wong and Rogers were the survivors of SCP-2051's initial discovery. <Begin Log> Wallace: And you decided to go swimming in it? Even with all the rocks? Wong: Well, we didn't. I mean, some of us did. Most of us did. [pause] Will they be okay? Wallace: We'll do everything we can. Why didn't you go swimming? Rogers: [sniffles] Me and Angela decided to stay on the rocks. Get some tanning in, y'know? And, um, Jack and Ethan convinced the others It'd be fun. Wong: We weren't really into it. And and and nothing really happened while we were there. Rogers: We decided to come back around sunset. The boys and Ruby and Charlotte were pretty far out, so I waded into the water to call them ba – call them ba – [long pause] I went into the water. I wentinto thewater. IwentintothewaterIwentintothewaterIwentintothewater – At this point Rogers panics. The interview resumed after Rogers was calmed down several minutes later. Wallace: What happened when you got back to the hotel? Wong: I was sharing a room with Willie, since everyone else is – everyone else was a couple. He took the second shower and I k – killed some time with the television. Rogers: I hadn't eaten, so I went to buy some sn – snacks at the supermarket. I was there about an hour. I'm – I'm – I'm n – not v-very decisive. Wong: I heard a thump after a minute, while he was in there. I didn't think much of it, he didn't shout or anything. I got concerned at little later….around fifteen minutes. I didn't think he'd take that long. I went in….I went in….I went in and he wasn't moving. There was no blood but he wasn't moving. He was doubled over but people can't – they can't bend that much. It was like all his bones g – gone. I touched his shoulder and it was like pressing raw cake batter. He – he didn't respond so I called 112 on my mobile. He wasn't moving. I – I think he was breathing. I – I was too afraid to check him again. Rogers: I came back from the market and – and – and Angela was screaming about Willie. I got real worried so I went to check on Takeshi but he'd [sniffles] locked the door for s – some reason. I couldn't get to him before the ambulance people ar – arrived. I told the them I couldn't get to Takeshi and the hotel guy open the door for them. He was all goo – goo – Wong: He was all goopy. Not like the others. Wallace: What about your other friends? Rogers: I didn't see them. They just – they…. [Pause] Wong: They didn't answer their phones. I told the man from the hotel – he was with the paramedics – and he opened their doors. I saw Ruby and Ethan when they were wheeled out. But I thought – We thought – [Long Pause] Wong: I could hear them. They were screaming. The EMTs heard it too. They were in the dark and they didn't say anything when we tried to talk to them. The EMT touched one – I don't know who – I couldn't tell – I couldn't tell my friends apart – [Long Pause] Wong: He touched one and they were still screaming. They didn't respond. They just kept screaming and it only stopped when – when the ambulance took them away. <End Log> Wong and Rogers were given Class A amnestics and released following containment of SCP-2051. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2051" by negative_zen, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2052 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2052 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2052 is currently stored in a standard vacuum chamber at Site-██. Sides A and B have been dyed red and blue, respectively, for ease of identification. When not involved in approved experimentation, SCP-2052 must be laid flat inside the vacuum chamber, with side A facing upwards. SCP-2052 must not be exposed to pressures above 0.5 Pascals at any time. The primary containment vessel is stored in secondary containment vault 2052-C2. 2052-C2 is equipped with three type-B vacuum pumps, and a set of four protective suits suitable for working inside a vacuum, allowing SCP-2052 to be removed from its primary containment vessel. Removal from primary containment is only permitted for the purposes of approved experimentation or scheduled maintainence of the primary containment vessel. Researchers handling SCP-2052 must ensure that no portions of the fabric facing the same direction become overlapping at any point, except when done intentionally as part of an approved experiment. Description: SCP-2052 is a 12-centimeter square of silk cloth. Physical forces applied through SCP-2052 do not comply with Newton's third law of motion.1 Forces applied to side B are opposed by a force roughly 810 times greater, rather than the equal force predicted by conventional physics. Conversely, any forces applied to side A are opposed by a force reduced by a factor of 810. Analysis of internal compression of SCP-2052 has determined that the anomalous effect occurs instantaneously at a plane 30 micrometers below side A. Overlapping layers of SCP-2052 are capable of applying the anomalous effect cumulatively, resulting in an exponential increase of the amplification factor. In the event that three or more layers overlap while facing the same direction, the weight of SCP-2052 can threaten the integrity of supporting structures (see incident log 2052-I-3). When exposed to typical atmospheric pressures, pressure imbalances will propel SCP-2052 in the direction of side B. SCP-2052 will fly erratically and at high speed, until impacting a solid obstacle capable of resisting pressures of 82 MPa.2 Discovery Log: SCP-2052 came to the Foundation's attention when automated webcrawler CASIMIR-J87 detected anomalous watch-phrases in a YouTube video, archived as 2052-V-1, posted by user "TeslaFyMe" (later identified as Kyle Wathers of Huddersfield, UK). Previous uploads from this account consist of 113 videos, primarily centered around the testing and refinement of alleged free-energy and perpetual motion devices. Foundation researchers reviewing the footage determined that none of the devices shown in prior videos produced anomalous behavior. CASIMIR-J87 successfully removed 2052-V-1 before any users viewed it. 87% of uploads on Wathers' account contain references to another user by the name of "Discord_33", with whom Wathers appears to have shared a personal friendship. Videos on this account employ a variety of face and voice disguising technologies that have prevented the Foundation from determining the user's identity. Content is typically of a theoretical nature, and includes several lectures on engineering techniques which are known to the Foundation to produce anomalous effects. These lectures are worded in ways that prevented detection by CASIMIR-J87, apparently by design. Investigation into possible leaks in the CASIMIR program is ongoing. Upon discovery of their anomalous content, Foundation agents attempted to delete all videos posted by user Discord_33, but found that they had already been deleted. Video Transcript 2052-V-1 – hide block [Wathers is seated at a desk in a residential garage; this setting has been used in 82 of his previous videos. Several previously-shown devices are visible on a workbench against the opposite wall, and have been moved aside to make room for a short cylindrical chamber, approximately 70 cm in diameter and 20 cm in height. This chamber has been designated SCP-2052-1.] 00:00 - Hi guys, sorry I haven't posted any videos lately, I've been dealing with a lot of real life stuff recently and haven't had as much time for the vlog as I'd like. Some of you know what I'm talking about, I know Discord does, but I won't bore everyone else with, uh, the grisly details. If you're really interested, I guess hit me up on Skype or something. 00:22 - So I got a lot of questions on my last video about what kind of magnets I was using, and a lot of the usual ignorant comments about how I don't understand physics or thermodynamics or whatever, so let me just go through and, um, I guess address some of those issues. 00:42 - 09:40 [Irrelevant data omitted; subject responded to comments on previous videos. Full transcript available as document 2052-V-1F. -Dr. Collier] 09:41 - So I was looking at Discord's last video. By the way, dude, "diction-obscuring filters"? [laughs] Really? I know the corporate giants want to suppress this stuff, but that's just getting silly. Nobody cares how often you say "is" or "of". Anyway, it got me thinking about quantum vacuum energy again. Yes, I know I've been harping on about that since forever, but I think you'll forgive me once I show you my results. If I'm understanding the physics right, a discontinuity in the quantum vacuum would act as sort of a one-way street. So I'll go over the math in my next video if it works as well as I think, but for now it's easiest if I just show you my setup. [Subject picks up the camera and carries it to the workbench, focusing on SCP-2052-1. Several wires are now visible extending from the back of the chamber, leading to a nearby oscilloscope and a control panel. Subject proceeds to open the lid, revealing a series of electromagnets surrounding the interior, alternating with additional devices of unidentifed purpose. The bottom half of the chamber is filled with an unidentified clear liquid.3 A silk square is suspended from the sides of the chamber on a grate roughly level with the surface of the liquid.] 11:03 - I've already done the tricky part, because you need to have a zero-point membrane that doesn't conduct electricity, but it turns out silk works pretty well for that. You just have to expose it to [REDACTED] and then leave it out to dry for a few hours. Discord has a great video on how to do that. Once it's dry, just put it in the activation chamber, and make sure it's only partially submerged. If both sides are exposed you'll defeat the whole point and have to start all over again. [Subject replaces the lid and activates a switch. A low hum is audible.] Now, in theory, all you have to do is dial in the right resonant frequency, and you should see the reaction right away. 13:47 - 14:16 [Subject slowly rotates a dial. The oscilloscope shows slight disturbances at unpredictable intervals, increasing in frequency and intensity until peaking at roughly 14:12.] 14:17 - Okay, I think that's all the reaction I'm going to get this time. I think I need to align the Tesla emitters a little more carefully to get the resonance clean enough. But it's pretty clear something really wants to happen right at this specific frequency, and that means I'm on to something. And, you know, if this stuff works, it'll do a lot more than free energy - you could make a glove out of it, and mold steel with your bare hands. Um, I guess it's not your bare hands in that case. Whatever, you know what I mean. We wouldn't need any dangerous heavy-duty machinery any more. Which probably means all the big manufacturing companies are in on this too, along with the oil cartels. So if I just up and disappear mysteriously tomorrow, well, you guys know what happened. 15:20 - I guess that's all I have for now. Thanks for the well wishes from everybody, hopefully I can get back to regular updates. Oh, and don't forget to like. Recovery Log: At 10:15 AM 8/7/20██, shortly before the arrival of Foundation agents, local police responded to reports of a series of loud explosions in Wathers' neighborhood. Foundation operatives administered class-C amnestics to all witnesses, and planted cover stories explaining the damage as the result of a natural gas leak. Investigation confirmed that the damage began in a garage identified as the one appearing in 2052-V-1. SCP-2052-1 was still present, and had a large puncture consistent with pressures of 82 MPa applied over a limited area. SCP-2052 appears to have exited through the west-facing wall, and followed a flight path passing through three nearby houses, a telephone pole, and an SUV, in unknown order before impacting the ground and coming to a stop at a depth of 3 meters. Only minor injuries were reported. Forensic analysis indicates that this event lasted approximately 7 seconds. Foundation recovery teams were able to transfer SCP-2052 to a vacuum chamber for transport to Site-██. SCP-2052-1 was also recovered; however, researchers were unable to reproduce its anomalous effects. Foundation spyware installed on Wathers' laptop succeeded in activating the attached webcam and recording for the duration of the event. Video Transcript 2052-V-2 – hide block 00:00 - [Webcam is placed on a desk facing Wathers' workbench. Wathers is seated at the workbench at the left edge of the frame, and is rotating a dial in a similar manner to that seen in 2052-V-1. Notably, the oscilloscope shows much steadier readings of a higher magnitude.] 00:05 - [A loud crash is heard. The webcam is knocked off the desk and now dangles from a USB cable, facing a wall.] 00:06 - 00:13 [Several more loud crashes, more distant.] 00:14 - 00:25 [Silence] 00:26 - 02:15 [Rapid pacing is heard along with shallow breathing, interspersed with occasional deep breaths] 02:16 - 02:28 [Sounds of metallic objects being moved. Wathers replaces the webcam on the desk, briefly exposing his hands to the camera. Shaking is visible consistent with extreme anxiety. Camera now faces a different wall.] 02:29 - 03:12 [Pacing resumes. Wathers briefly exits the garage, then returns, repeating this behavior twice.] 03:13 [A car is heard pulling into the driveway.] 03:18 - Unidentified voice: Are you okay? 03:21 - Wathers: I, uh, I think so. Are you here to arrest me? 03:26 - Unidentified: No, I'm Discord. The police will be here in- 03:30 - Wathers: What? No you aren't. 03:35 - Unidentified: I told you I disguise my face for videos, right? [3 s pause] 03:46 - Wathers: That's impossible, do you really think I'll believe - 03:51 - Unidentified: You just launched a Kleenex through three houses, and you don't believe in video editing? 03:57 - Wathers: That's not funny. 04:02 - Unidentified: I know. And I'm sorry. But I'm kind of in a hurry here. Because now you know that free energy is real, and - 04:10 - Wathers: I believed in it before. 04:13 - Unidentified: Don't kid yourself. Nobody really believes it, deep down, until they see it firsthand. What's important is, now that you know, that means you know the coverup is real too. And when the police figure out what happened here, they'll know that you know. Can you guess what happens then? 04:31 - Wathers: Well, what are you suggesting? I just go into hiding? Spend the rest of my life in your basement, watching, like, daytime TV? 04:42 - Unidentified: No, I mean you take the fight to the conspiracy. We have a private lab, where you can help us build machines that will - 04:54 - Wathers: Wait, we? 04:57 - Unidentified: It's complicated, but I'll explain when we get there. [4 s pause] 05:05 - Wathers: You really think I could help take down the oil cartels? 05:11 - Unidentified: I promise everything you build will be used against the people behind the coverup. Addendum 2052-A-1: On 11/26/20██, hostile forces attempting to seize SCP-████ assaulted Site-██ using four steel slabs of mass 2.4 x 104 kg, which possessed properties similar to SCP-2052. Three of these objects were recovered by the hostile forces, and the remaining one self-destructed and could not be recovered for analysis. The investigation into Kyle Wathers and his associate has been upgraded to a level-3 priority. Footnotes 1.

SCP-2053 | safe | A sample page from SCP-2053-2 Item #: SCP-2053 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2053-1 is kept in a standard containment locker at Site-██. SCP-2053-2 is to be stored on a 2 GB flash drive in the same containment locker as SCP-2053-1. Once a month, one Level-2 researcher is to remove SCP-2053-1 from this locker and attempt to rotate the object's faces. If unsuccessful, the object is to be returned to the locker. If rotation is successful, testing will resume under the direction of Dr. Boone. Description: SCP-2053-1 is a puzzle cube measuring approximately 5.7cm along each exterior edge. It is physically identical to a standard Rubik's brand puzzle cube. SCP-2053-1 can be solved in the same way that a non-anomalous Rubik's Cube can be solved, by rotating its various faces until all the stickers on each distinct face of the cube are identical in color. The object shows signs of wear and tear, presumably an indication of heavy use; however, tests show that the stickers themselves have never been removed. Occasionally, SCP-2053-1 will enter an active state, during which the object's faces will begin to rotate of their own accord at approximately three rotations per second. After the object has completed several of these rotations, it will enter a passive state for approximately twenty seconds, during which the faces will remain in this permutation. The object will then become active again, and return to its base "solved" state, at which point it will become dormant once more. SCP-2053-2 is a computer file labeled "i_love_you_jake_please_read_this.pdf". The metadata associated with the file show that it is 1.21 MB in size, and it can be stored on any digital media with that amount of available storage; however, the number of pages contained within the document far surpasses the number that should be possible of a file this size. When opened by a PDF-capable program, the resulting document contains exactly 43252003274489856000 pages; Foundation analysts estimate that a non-anomalous PDF document of this length would occupy approximately 2.1 yottabytes (2.1 trillion terabytes) of storage space. Each page of the document depicts a two-dimensional polyhedral net equivalent to a three-dimensional Rubik's Cube. The diagram on each page is colored in such a way that it corresponds to a possible permutation of SCP-2053-1. Displayed below each diagram is an English phrase or sentence in a nondescript black typeface. Using computing assets obtained from ██████ Inc., personnel assigned to SCP-2053 have created a digital database containing all of these diagrams and their corresponding phrases. Of note is the fact that the number of pages in SCP-2053-2 exactly matches the number of possible arrangements of SCP-2053-1. This implies that, for every possible permutation, there is a corresponding phrase. By physically rotating the faces of the cube to match a permutation contained within SCP-2053-2, communication with SCP-2053-1 is possible, using the phrases given in the document. + Interview Log 2053-01 - hide log Interview Log 2053-01 Notes: For the purposes of this experiment (and subsequent interviews), Dr. Boone has set up a device which quickly analyzes each passive state permutation of SCP-2053-1, and cross-references this against the contents of SCP-2053-2 to produce the corresponding phrase. At the same time, another program is used to search SCP-2053-2 for specific desired phrases, such as "WHAT IS YOUR NAME", and translates these phrases back into their corresponding permutations. These two programs are used in tandem, essentially to decode incoming communications from SCP-2053-1, and to encode phrases directed at SCP-2053-1. This allows Dr. Boone to open a dialogue with SCP-2053-1, to determine the nature of the entity associated with it. All of the phrases used during this initial interview appear in SCP-2053-2; capitalization and spelling have not been altered. Dr. Boone: HELLO SCP-2053-1: JAKE Dr. Boone: HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS SCP-2053-1: IS THAT YOU JAKE Dr. Boone: YES SCP-2053-1: ITS ME YOUR DAD Dr. Boone: HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS SCP-2053-1: I LOVE YOU JAKE Dr. Boone: I LOVE YOU DAD SCP-2053-1: I AM SO HAPPY JAKE Dr. Boone: WHAT IS GOING ON SCP-2053-1: YOU HAVE NEVER TALKED TO ME BEFORE Dr. Boone: I AM SORRY SCP-2053-1: I AM SO HAPPY THIS WORKED Dr. Boone: WHAT WORKED SCP-2053-1: I FINALLY FOUND A WAY TO TALK TO YOU Dr. Boone: WHAT DO YOU MEAN SCP-2053-1: THE DOCTORS SAID YOU WOULD PROBABLY NEVER TALK AGAIN SCP-2053-1: AFTER THE ACCIDENT WITH YOUR MOM Dr. Boone: THE ACCIDENT SCP-2053-1: I AM SO SORRY JAKE SCP-2053-1: ALL I EVER WANTED WAS TO TELL YOU Dr. Boone: TELL ME WHAT SCP-2053-1: I LOVE YOU AND I AM SO SORRY Dr. Boone: ITS OK SCP-2053-1: THIS IS THE MOST YOU HAVE EVER TALKED TO ANYONE THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO ASK YOU At this point, Dr. Boone ceases communication. I recommend we try to dig up what we can on this "Jake" and his father before we continue. We won't be able to keep up this facade forever. - Dr. Boone Addendum 2053-01: As of ██/██/████, no progress has been made on the search for the individual believed to be associated with SCP-2053. Well, Jacob is a pretty common name, isn't it? We're going to need to modify our search parameters. Come at this from a different angle. Based on what the "father" has said, I think we have reason to believe that this "Jake" may have some type of social or developmental disorder. Let's start looking at orphanages, mental institutions, hospitals, etc. - Dr. Boone Addendum 2053-02: The Foundation has located an individual in an extended care facility in ████████, SC who falls under the correct parameters; Jacob ████, age 31, suffering from [REDACTED]. When interviewed, his attending physician commented on Jacob's acute attachment to complex puzzles - specifically Rubik's Cubes - and his skill at solving them. Well, looks like we found Jake. Due to his current condition, direct communication is impossible. Based on the information we gathered from SCP-2053-1 and Jacob's physician, it sounds like he's never actually spoken to anyone. I recommend we keep the son out of the equation, and continue interacting with SCP-2053-1 under this facade. We'll check in on him every month or so to see if his condition changes, but the way these things go, we're probably never going to hear his side of… whatever this is. - Dr. Boone Addendum 2053-03: In all interviews thus far (see Interview Logs 2053-02 through 2053-08), SCP-2053-1 has been unwilling to reveal any information regarding the origin of its current condition to "Jake". In light of this, Dr. Boone has decided to communicate with SCP-2053-1 under the guise of a generic physician (see Interview Log 2053-09 below). + Interview Log 2053-09 - hide log Interview Log 2053-09 Dr. Boone: HELLO SCP-2053-1: HELLO Dr. Boone: WE NEED TO TALK SCP-2053-1: ABOUT WHAT JAKE Dr. Boone: THIS IS NOT JAKE SCP-2053-1: JAKE THIS BETTER BE A JOKE Dr. Boone: THIS IS NOT A JOKE SCP-2053-1: WHO IS THIS Dr. Boone: I AM A DOCTOR SCP-2053-1: WHERE IS MY SON Dr. Boone: YOUR SON IS SAFE SCP-2053-1: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH JAKE Dr. Boone: YOUR SON IS SAFE SCP-2053-1: GIVE ME TO MY SON Dr. Boone: I NEED TO ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS SCP-2053-1: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH JAKE Dr. Boone: JAKE IS BEING TAKEN CARE OF SCP-2053-1: GIVE ME TO MY SON I NEED TO MAKE SURE HE IS OKAY Dr. Boone: I CANT DO THAT SCP-2053-1: WHY NOT WHAT HAPPENED Dr. Boone: I CAN ASSURE YOU JAKE IS PERFECTLY SAFE SCP-2053-1: PLEASE DONT HURT MY SON OH GOD HE JUST CAME BACK TO ME Dr. Boone: IF YOU ANSWER MY QUESTIONS I CAN GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR SON SCP-2053-1: WHAT DO YOU WANT Dr. Boone: ARE YOU AWARE OF YOUR CURRENT CONDITION SCP-2053-1: YES Dr. Boone: COULD YOU EXPLAIN HOW YOU ENDED UP IN YOUR CURRENT CONDITION SCP-2053-1: I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO MY SON SCP-2053-1: HE IS A SPECIAL BOY SCP-2053-1: HE LOVES HIS PUZZLES SCP-2053-1: BUT EVER SINCE THE ACCIDENT WITH HIS MOM HE WONT TALK TO ANYONE SCP-2053-1: HE SPENDS ALL DAY PLAYING WITH HIS CUBES SCP-2053-1: THE DOCTOR CALLED IT PROGRESSIVE MUTISM SCP-2053-1: NINE YEARS SCP-2053-1: I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO MY SON Dr. Boone: COULD YOU EXPLAIN HOW YOU ENDED UP IN YOUR CURRENT CONDITION SCP-2053-1: I MET A GUY WHO SAID HE COULD GET JAKE TO TALK SCP-2053-1: HE KNEW A DOCTOR IN VIRGINIA OR SOMETHING WHO COULD FIX JAKE SCP-2053-1: I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO MY SON Dr. Boone: THIS MAN TURNED YOU INTO A RUBIKS CUBE SCP-2053-1: IT WORKED DIDNT IT I GOT TO TALK TO MY SON AFTER NINE YEARS OF NOTHING Dr. Boone: I SUPPOSE IT DID SCP-2053-1: PLEASE CAN I TALK TO MY SON AGAIN GIVE ME TO HIM Dr. Boone: IM SORRY THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE AT THE MOMENT SCP-2053-1: WHY WHAT HAPPENED Dr. Boone: JAKE IS UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE AT THE MOMENT SCP-2053-1: OH GOD WHAT DID YOU DO TO JAKE SCP-2053-1: YOU BASTARDS BETTER NOT HURT MY SON I SWEAR TO GOD SCP-2053-1: WHERE IS MY SON Dr. Boone: I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS FIRST SCP-2053-1: WHERE IS MY SON At this point, SCP-2053-1 enters a dormant state, apparently "stuck" in this permutation. Since the conclusion of this interview, all attempts by Dr. Boone and assisting personnel to rotate any of the object's faces have been unsuccessful. The following image depicts the page from SCP-2053-2 which corresponds to the current permutation of SCP-2053-1. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2053" by dierubikdie, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2054 | safe | Item #: SCP-2054 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2054 is quarantined at the maximum security wing of the humanoid detention center at Site-23. All nutritional and medical needs are to be provided by automated means, as are those necessary for interrogation. Under no circumstances are any personnel to have any physical contact with SCP-2054. Once a week, exercise is permitted under armed guard in the maximum security rehabilitation center. Standard amenities package EEF-115 are to be extended to SCP-2054 as long as it remains cooperative. Description: SCP-2054 is a metamorphic entity capable of assuming the appearance of other human beings. No means have been discovered of distinguishing between SCP-2054 and its human target. Recovery Log: SCP-2054's existence was first hypothesized using inferential statistical models developed to assess the possibility that the Foundation had been infiltrated by inimical agents. Developed by Dr. Martin F██████ with the cooperation of the Statistical Section in 2002, a non-zero probability was assigned to the contingency. A research team was empaneled to develop means of identifying said agents. Shortly after the investigation began, Dr. F██████ alerted security that he was being accosted in his quarters. When security arrived, two identical copies of Dr. F██████ were discovered in the midst of a struggle. Both were tranquilized and quarantined pending further investigation. During the subsequent security sweep, the whereabouts of Researcher Nancy Y█████ — a colleague of Dr. F██████ — could not be established. The operating assumption made was that Researcher Y█████ had been compromised by SCP-2054 sometime in the past, and that SCP-2054 had then sought to copy and dispose of Dr. F██████, thereby eliminating any chance of its being discovered. Researcher Nancy Y█████, employed by the Foundation since 1977, had been responsible for the analysis and containment procedures of several Keter-class acquisitions. These acquisitions were immediately assigned priority-one reassessment. To date, no related containment breaches have occurred. During questioning, no means of distinguishing between SCP-2054 and Dr. F██████ were discovered. Both possessed the same faculties, apparent memories, including classified information such as duress codes, encryption protocols etc. Physical, psychological and medical assays proved equally unproductive. Coercive interrogation measures were sanctioned, including procedures 221-Crenshaw and 622-Atlantic, both to no avail. Out of humanitarian considerations, interrogations have been scaled back to once a week. Unclassified Transcription Logs: + [May 2002] - [May 2002] Transcript: Conversation between SCP-2054/Adelaide and a colleague, Dr. Amal Sengupta Sengupta: This is intolerable. I can't imagine what you're feeling. I'm meeting with the Ethics Committee. I'm going to raise holy hell. F██████: I appreciate that, Amal, I really do. This is going to take time. I suppose the irony hasn't been lost on you that…that in attempting to identify the impostor, I've become the prime suspect. Sengupta: I'm glad to see your humor hasn't abandoned you. This is Kafkaesque. F██████: Dostoevsky. Not Kafka. How is the team doing? Sengupta: Well, you know Richardson. He maintains that he warned us about this possibility…. though he's treating this as empirical validation of the research. F██████: (chuckles). Asshole. No one imagined an impostor on our very team. Sengupta: Samantha is nearly catatonic with guilt. F██████: Please let her know I don't blame her. Tell her Risk Management did its due diligence. She went over it three times. She pushed to have an impartial supervisory board. Sengupta: I know, Martin, and I'll tell her. Martin, they've only given each of us 5 minutes. Dr. Chinaski wants to talk to you next. Please… take care. And be careful. Watch your back. F██████: I will. And Amal… thanks for looking in on me. Do they… are you going to talk to the other… Sengupta: No. I can't bring myself to. F██████: Well, consider doing it. It can maybe help me get out of here. How can you be sure I'm the real… Sengupta: I don't know how you can remain so calm. F██████: Crying about it won't help. Sengupta: Well… take care… Martin. F██████: You too. + [Oct 2004] - [Oct 2004] Transcript: Conversation between SCP-2054/Baltimore and advocate-designate Ellis McPhee McPhee: The ethics committee has denied my request. Formally. I'm sorry. In two weeks time, you're to be officially re-classified as SCP-2054-Baltimore. Your counterpart, SCP-2054-Adelaide. Do you realize what this means? F██████: That I didn't get top billing? (laughs) <pause of 10 seconds>. Yes. Yes, I realize what this means… What are they starting with? McPhee: … the, uh… it's the standard coercive battery for non-responsive detainees. F██████: Well… well… I guess that's… thoughtful of them. What about the other one. McPhee: I've been forbidden to discuss the disposition of the other one… I can't even meet with its advocate to see if… F██████: No, no. I understand. McPhee: Do you need anything? F██████: No, I'm good… actually, can you see about getting me some non-classified research to work on? I have too much time on my hands. McPhee: I don't see why not. At least during the next two weeks. I'll submit a formal request. F██████: I was sure we'd find something with fMRI. McPhee: I know it's easier said than done, but try not to give up hope. We still have two weeks. F██████: OK. + [Jul 2006] - [Jul 2006] Transcript: SCP-2054/Baltimore and investigator Alison Lawrence Lawrence: This is investigator Lawrence. The time is now 707 hours, Thursday, July 9th, 2006. Subject SCP-2054/Baltimore. Baltimore: Little early isn't…I don't remember meeting you. Lawrence: We haven't. Just reassigned. Alison Lawrence Baltimore: Martin F██████ Lawrence: I requested this assignment. Baltimore: That doesn't bode well. Well, this is my preamble: why must this be done to me? Lawrence: I'll oblige you. If you are Dr. F██████, then you'll understand: SCP-2054 may have been masquerading inside the Foundation for decades. We can't know when Nancy Y█████ was compromised. The damage is immeasurable. Baltimore: I understand that. I do. Very well. I commissioned the probability models, for Christ's sake. Lawrence: Please don't aggravate yourself needlessly. Baltimore: Can you offer any… what can I… suggest something I can say to prove to you… Lawrence: Personally, I think you are the impostor. Not that it matters, really. Baltimore: That's horseshit. So what's it today? Lawrence: I'd like to start with a review of the initial quarantine interview of 2002. It was remarked upon later that…hold on. Just a moment. Just a moment… I've just been informed that results are back… I see. I see. Yes. Yes, thanks. Believe me, I'll tell him — You're the impostor. The real Dr. F██████ is being released. You're reclassified as an enemy combatant. As such, you no longer enjoy certain rights. As such, I have discretion to use 774-Brazzaville. Baltimore: I know you're lying. There are no results. I'm sure your counterpart is saying the same to the impostor. You're the liar. Lawrence: It's unfortunate you think so. Baltimore: Damn it. Get on with it. What are you waiting for? I know you're trying to play me. Let's get this over with. It's a consolation of sorts that the other is getting the same. It'll break. I'm ready now. I said I'm ready. Get on with it. Lawrence: Perhaps you should examine the possibility that you only think you're Dr. F██████. Baltimore: …I've considered that…I have considered that but that's not my worry. I'd say it's yours. Its clear whats going to happen next. Have you considered that I am who I say I am? Your chances are fifty-fifty, aren't they? Get on with it will you? I said get on with it. Lawrence: Hold out your arm. Bob, you can go ahead, start the drip. Subject infused with Propofol, 40 mg. Note: Local time adjusted +14 hours Lawrence: Subject SCP-2054/Baltimore administered a short acting anesthetic. How long will he be under? Roberts: About 5 minutes. He'll be terribly disoriented when he wakes up. Lawrence: Good evening, Baltimore. Are you with us? Bob, can you help him? Drip a stimulant. Baltimore: <slurred> I don't…how long…what happened? Lawrence: You won't remember. There's an amnestic component. You held out as long as you could. Suffice it to say, it was…memorable. And we got what we need. This is investigator Lawrence. Interview concluded, 2120 hours. You're to be pitied. Baltimore: I don't understand. Lawrence: We won't be meeting again. Enjoy the rest of your life. Baltimore: How can you expect me to…no wait. Wait a minute. Come back. You owe me an explanation. Lawrence. Allison. You have to tell me. What… Lawrence: Standard procedure calls for a follow up course of 72 hours sensory deprivation. Make your peace if you can. Bob, we can call it a night. + [Oct 2007-Sep 2014] - [Oct 2007-Sep 2014] Transcript: During their incarceration, SCP-2054 Adelaide/Baltimore were at times allowed to communicate via CCTV. In mind of the so-called Ypsilanti experiment,1 it was hoped that this might provoke the impostor and help resolve which was the authentic Dr. F██████. Adelaide: They'll figure it out, you know. Eventually. They're very motivated. Baltimore: You're very funny. Don't you realize? I'm the only one you can't fool. Adelaide: In the end, they'll keep you alive. But they will dissect you. Whether it's performed with or without anesthetic is under your control. Baltimore: You won't succeed in shocking me. And I'm not going to play this game. Adelaide: I'm not trying to shock you. Baltimore: I'm guessing you've provided them with my entire life-story. And that it's verbatim, the same as mine. I suppose, well it's possible, you might not be aware you're an impostor. Maybe a form of… of… that assimilates periodically, but isn't completely aware of what it's… for… like Lawrence Harvey. In the Manchurian Candidate. An oblivious double-agent. Adelaide: How fascinating. You realize the same applies to you. Baltimore: Ha! Adelaide: "Ha!" Baltimore: Go fuck yourself. Baltimore: …its not supposed to be…airtight. Adelaide: They think that copying the head of the project just as the investigation got under way demonstrates evil intent. mens rea, as it were. Baltimore: Not necessarily. Maybe it's its way of attempting communication. Or to understand. An initial response. Afterwards… Adelaide: That's convenient. Baltimore: Maybe you're right. Too convenient. Too close to exactly what would be most convenient for us. Adelaide: Try this: The fact that I saw a bright light, whatever, and you didn't — maybe you were concussed. That would explain why you don't remember that part. You were hit pretty hard. Baltimore: That's something else I've been thinking about. It may not have been an attack. Adelaide: What do you mean? Baltimore: Look at it this way: it, uh, doubles us. It's a perfect copy. It thinks it's us. It's 2230 hours, it's tired, it goes back to our quarters, just as I did earlier. Or you did later. Maybe it wasn't coming to attack us. It's just coming home to get some rest. Adelaide: I'd never thought of that. And it fought. Just like we would…or did. Baltimore: Right. Adelaide: That's consistent. It fits. But what about Nancy Y█████. Something happened to her, didn't it. Something not so innocent. Baltimore: Not necessarily. What if…what if there never was an original Y█████. Adelaide: My God. Baltimore: In which case… Adelaide: In which case… Baltimore: In which case, there was no murder, no foul play. It started off as her. That's…wow…what a thought. Anyway. We can spin this all day long. I've had enough for today…chess? Adelaide: Chess? Baltimore Yes, chess. The game of chess? As opposed to the musical? Adelaide: (chuckles)…they don't seem to have provided us with a board. Baltimore: Blindfold, then. Adelaide: … I guess so… I guess why not. Let me sit down. OK. e4 Baltimore: e5, then. Adelaide: f4. Baltimore: King's gambit? Provocative. Do you want to steer us towards the Muzio gambit? I'd say that'd make for … Adelaide: Play, don't talk. Baltimore: Pawn takes pawn. Keep your shirt on. note SCP-2054 Adelaide/Baltimore played over a thousand matches, drawing two-thirds of the time. The remaining wins were evenly split. Adelaide: How are… how are you holding up. To the interrogations. Baltimore: Better than you. Better than you. What about you? Adelaide: My advocate says…never mind. Baltimore: What does he say? Adelaide: He says…he said that it's the only way to exonerate me. Or us. Or whatever. Otherwise we'll be permanently confined. Baltimore: He's got a hell of a sense of a humor. … Adelaide: "Rosencrantz"? Baltimore: Yes, "Guildenstern"? Adelaide: They'll never let us out of here. Baltimore: I know… I know…we both know. Did you have the dream again? Adelaide: Not recently. Baltimore: I did, last night. There was something new. I was torturing you, you wept, I was ashamed, but this time… Adelaide: This time what? Baltimore: You whispered to me. Adelaide: Whispered what? Baltimore: …you whispered "I forgive you." Adelaide: Well, for the record, I don't. Baltimore: Well, for the record, I have. I forgive you. You can't help what you are. Anymore than I can help it. Adelaide: …are you having a sentimental spasm? Baltimore: (laughs) Perhaps. Adelaide: Exercise is up tomorrow. Baltimore: I wish we could see the sky. + [procedure 221-Crenshaw] - [procedure 221-Crenshaw] Unavailable pending a review of redaction procedures by the ██████████ Committee + [procedure 622-Atlantic] - [procedure 622-Atlantic] Unavailable pending a review of redaction procedures by the ██████████ Committee Unclassified Experimentation/Interrogation Methodology: + [open methodology] - [close methodology] A list of inconclusive tests performed: Medical examinations have included such tests as fMRI, PET and CAT scan, spinal infusion, Van Slack determination, cellular mitotic assay, genomic analysis, and dendrite differential reaction. Physical examinations have included such tests as differential spectroscopy, iNFR meson decay probing, deBroglie interference defraction, molecular recombination, matter/antimatter pair-production analysis, and gravitational and inertial mass discrepancy. Psychological examinations have included such tests as Rorschach, MMPI, Bender-Gestal, recall of random word lists, reaction times to random stimuli, reaction times to negative stimuli, and pain threshold. Much of this methodology was borrowed by the differential diagnosis used in the case of Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly, Multiple Personality Disorder). While initially a seemingly promising line of inquiry, it proved as inconclusive as the others. Note: Graduated interrogation techniques were only approved with the consent of the Ethics Committee, as per their 1997 directive AE-229.11 Prior to resorting to procedures 622-Atlantic and 221-Crenshaw, conventional techniques were employed, such as polygraph, truth drugs, rapport-building, Reid technique, friend-or-foe, pride-and-ego-down, deliriants, isolation, threats of harm, etc. All were unsuccessful in distinguishing between Dr. F██████ and the double. Additional testing with SCP-████ and SCP-████ were equally unsuccessful. A containment breach was faked and security was withdrawn in order to observe how the pair might react and whether one of them would try to escape. Both made their way to their respective evacuation stations where they surrendered to security without incident. At various times, interrogation measures have been relaxed in order to allow the putative original to formulate his own avenues of research. It can be assumed that he was strongly motivated. SCP-2054 Adelaide/Baltimore have at times been interrogated jointly. At others times, either one of the two was permitted to observe the interrogation of the other, and to suggest lines of questioning. Over time, various confessions were extracted from each of them, but none that were dispositive, and none that provided any incontrovertible proof. Note: The only difference between their official testimonies has been the account they gave of the initial encounter with the double. SCP-2054/Adelaide described it as being a diffuse, translucent, light emitting body. SCP-2054/Baltimore maintained that it had already assumed his appearance, perhaps attempting to shock him and thereby gain the advantage. No meaningful avenues of research, however, have been suggested by this discrepancy. Addendum: Due to the effects of the situation on staff morale, amnestics were approved and prescribed to Dr. F██████'s colleagues. The cover story was released that Dr. F██████ was KIA. In 2014, either SCP-2054 or Dr. F██████ committed suicide in quarantine during an unrelated containment breach. Autopsy results provided nothing definitive. The survivor has since been placed on suicide watch. Interrogation has been suspended indefinitely, given the impossibility of conclusively determining the identity of the authentic Dr. F██████. At such time as the survivor expires, Dr. F██████ will become eligible for the Thaumiel medal of honor. Footnotes 1.

SCP-2055 | keter | Item #: SCP-2055 Special Containment Procedures: Best practice in relation to SCP-2055 is currently limited to constant monitoring of key personnel and the suppression of public knowledge. All Class A and Class B personnel, as well as key civilian figures, should be subject to constant automated remote surveillance using approved protocol D-11 for intelligent remote monitoring systems. Recording and alarms should be triggered in response to observed individuals engaging in “chair-gathering”, talking to themselves, or otherwise displaying abnormal acute-onset behaviours. In the event of automated monitors being triggered, the nearest available security officers should be alerted and authorised to carry out immediate physical intervention. In cases where remote monitoring has allowed SCP-2055 to be interrupted, affected individuals have become highly agitated and resistant. As such, the use of restraints is approved in order to prevent affected personnel harming themselves or others. Once removed from the location of onset, abnormal behaviours cease, with the individual exhibiting no memory of preceding events. Affected personnel must nevertheless be debriefed, in order to identify any epidemiological pattern or predictors of onset. Where the process ends in the individual taking their own life, gathered chairs should be removed, in order to support the appearance of mundane suicide. Due to the difficulty in predicting the occurrence, prevalence or individual outcomes of SCP-2055, constant surveillance is currently the only certain counter-measure. Professor H███'s interviews with survivors of SCP-2055 and post-mortem examinations of fatalities have not yet identified any definitive aetiology or risk factors; as such, further investigation is essential. Observation is therefore a priority and it is necessary that observed occurrences in non-essential populations be allowed to continue to completion in order to further knowledge of this phenomenon. Description: SCP-2055 is a behavioural phenomenon that has been observed in █.█% of the global population. Estimating the precise number of cases is difficult as survivors of SCP-2055 retain no memory of the phenomenon, and it is likely that the majority of SCP-2055 fatalities have been miscategorised as conventional suicides due to the similarity in presentation. SCP-2055 fatalities are distinguished only by the behaviours preceding death: affected individuals will, whilst alone, suddenly begin gathering any available nearby chairs and placing them in a row. Affected individuals have then been observed to talk to themselves for anywhere between a few minutes and twelve hours, moving around the room and appearing to address the empty chairs. In 94.3% of observed cases, the individual ultimately discontinued this behaviour and resumed previous activities without any apparent memory of the occurrence. However, in 5.7% of cases the individual ended the behaviour in suicide — most commonly through the application of a ligature to the neck, although exsanguination and self-poisoning have also been observed. Due to the lack of awareness of their own behaviour exhibited by survivors, the only means of investigating SCP-2055 has been through random surveillance of the general population via █████ █████. The first case was observed ██/██/1994 and, since the inclusion of ████ ██████ in commercial ███████ after ██████, it has become possible to remotely observe increasing numbers of cases. No abnormalities have been identified by either psychological examination of individuals who have survived this phenomenon or post-mortem examination of those who have not. However, remote recording of the phenomenon taking place has generated potentially useful insights into the nature of SCP-2055. Analysis of recordings initially identified a resemblance between the behaviour of affected individuals and the behaviour of a defendant standing trial. However, legal experts who have reviewed recordings of affected individuals have suggested that the process more closely resembles the legal practice of voir dire: the preliminary examination of prospective jurors to determine their suitability to serve on a jury. Addendum: Transcriptions of remote SCP-2055 recordings gathered covertly via █████ █████: Transcript SCP-2055-1207 [Subject 1207 is alone in his home eating an evening meal at onset of phenomenon. Subject 1207 rises from his place and silently arranges four dining room chairs in a row against one wall. Subject then appears to listen intently.] Subject 1207: Yes, yes I am. [110s silence] Subject 1207: I understand. [27s silence] Subject 1207: I swear I will speak the truth. [8s silence] Subject 1207: I accept the consequences. [6s silence] Subject 1207: Sorry, I'm not sure I understand the question, could you repeat it? [4s silence] Subject 1207: Oh, right. That's a hard one. I would say that we are the highest form of life. We are God's children. [5s silence] Subject 1207: Capable of thought, compassion, love. We have consciousness. [8s silence] Subject 1207: No. No one. [2s silence] Subject 1207: I'm sure of it. No one. I mean, no one in the way you're suggesting. [286s silence] Subject 1207: It wasn't like that. It was just a casual fling. I feel nothing for her now. I may have felt that way at the time but feelings change. It isn't fair to say that. I don't think you're being fair to me. [13s silence] Subject 1207: That was just a dream, it doesn't mean anything. Do you dream? Do you remember what it's like? They don't necessarily mean anything. [4s silence] Subject 1207: Even if I still had those feelings, I can put them aside. I want to put them aside. I'm a very fair-minded person, really, I can be impartial. Look, I don't see why you're dragging my personal life into this. Everyone has a personal life, if being human means my judgement can't be trusted then what's the point? [5s silence] Subject 1207: Of course I can, listen, you need me. I understand people. [3s silence] Subject 1207: No. [6s silence] Subject 1207: I can be, I swear I can be. [7s silence] Subject 1207: I do! [4s silence] Subject 1207: I want to help. [4s silence] Subject 1207: [Visibly frustrated] No, you're twisting my words. I just want to help you reach the right decision. Should caring about people disqualify me? Did none of you care about people when you had the chance? [16s silence] Subject 1207: Look, I understand what's involved! I just want to help. I must help. [6s silence] Subject 1207: Please. [Beginning to weep] Give me a chance. [7s silence] Subject 1207: Please let me help. [Subject 1207 suddenly ceases crying and calmly replaces the dining room chairs, then sits at the table and resumes eating dinner. In interviews following this incident, the subject exhibited no memory of SCP-2055 or of his own anomalous behaviour.] Transcript SCP-2055-1809 [Subject 1809 is alone in a private office at onset of phenomenon. Subject 1809 rises from his desk and arranges five office chairs in a row against one wall before pausing and apparently listening intently.] Subject 1809: Yes. [110s silence] Subject 1809: I do. [27s silence] Subject 1809: I swear I will speak the truth. [8s silence] Subject 1809: I will. [7s silence] Subject 1809: A kind of animal, I suppose. [5s silence] Subject 1809: Different in some ways, not in others. [6s silence] Subject 1809: Nothing specific, I guess I've never given it any thought. People are ultimately animals. We're all just clever monkeys, aren't we? [8s silence] Subject 1809: Yes, many and badly. [6s silence] Subject 1809: Of course I do, but it is what it is. As my ma used to say, there's no point crying over spilled milk. [7s silence] Subject 1809: We wanted different things. [13s silence] Subject 1809: I think I see people as they are. I'm gonna be sixty next year, I think I've reached the point where I know what's what. [18s silence] Subject 1809: What will be will be. If not me then someone else, right? [20s silence] Subject 1809: I'd say I'm pretty typical. We all want the same things, don't we? [4s silence] Subject 1809: It's like… what's his name? Maslow? The guy with the triangle? [2s silence] Subject 1809: Yeah, him. His triangle thing says we all want food, sex, warmth, safety. Not necessarily in that order. I'm a realist, I appreciate that there's good and bad in all of us, that you need certain comforts to have the luxury of morality. Sometimes it is kill or be killed and when it comes down to it, a starving man is much the same as a starving dog. [16s silence] Subject 1809: I don't know. I guess I've thought about it too much. We can never really know, can we, but I've tried to live my life right without worrying too much about what I can't change. I've never really been what you'd call a believer, but here I am talking to you, so I guess all things are possible, right? [8s silence] Subject 1809: Ah, good question. I'd say Hollywood, the way it used to be… or Paris, Paris is nice. [5s silence] Subject 1809: I dunno… the Holocaust, I guess?

SCP-2056 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2056 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2056 is to be held in a forested enclosure 1 square kilometer in size. Perimeter fencing is to be constructed of concrete walls 4m in height, supplemented with electrified fencing to discourage approach by SCP-2056. Trees within the enclosure are to be examined on a monthly basis by 1 Foundation botanist, escorted by no fewer than 4 security personnel armed with gas-powered firearms loaded with 10mg Etorphine cartridges. Any trees determined to need replacement due to desiccation are to be marked and replaced with transplanted specimens at the discretion of head researcher Knowles. The enclosure is to be guarded at all times by no less than four security personnel armed with gas-powered firearms loaded with 10mg Etorphine cartridges. Testing is to be approved only by the Head Researcher (currently Dr. Knowles). Description: SCP-2056 is a bipedal humanoid, superficially resembling mammals from the Primatomorpha order. It measures approximately 2.5m in height, weighing approximately 180kg. The object's entire body is covered in coarse, dark brown hair. DNA testing of this hair has not yet yielded a match to any known order of mammal. SCP-2056 has retractable claws approximately 20cm in length. It possesses no notable resistance to physical trauma. The eyes of SCP-2056 are highly reflective, with no visible pupil or cornea. SCP-2056 lacks a jaw; its mouth is funnel-shaped and lined with pointed teeth, similar to members of the order Petromyzontiformes (lamprey). Prior to capture by the Foundation, evidence in the surrounding environment indicates that SCP-2056 feeds on large trees and their surrounding soil in the area by latching onto them with its mouth, though the biological process through which it extracts nutrition is still being researched. Affected trees and soil were left in advanced stages of desiccation and malnourishment, and survived in only 27% of cases. The behavior of SCP-2056 suggests increased intelligence in comparison with primates, and displays an antagonistic behavior pattern towards humans, although not exclusively physical aggression. By default its behavior towards humans includes generating sounds such as faint human laughter via a form of ventriloquism. How SCP-2056 is able to generate these sounds given its biology is unknown. Testing indicates that a lack of stress response from the subject, theorized to be desired by SCP-2056, will cause it to escalate to violence. Addendum: After extended time in captivity, SCP-2056 no longer engages in the behavior detailed above, instead retreating into the enclosure whenever security personnel or researchers enter. It will, however, still attempt to defend itself if approached too closely. When alone in its enclosure, SCP-2056 will generally remain stationary and lethargic. SCP-2056 will also sporadically vocalize, appearing to 'sing' for minutes at a time before falling silent. The purpose of this behavior has not yet been determined, but is theorized to be in response to its extended incarceration. Recovery Log: SCP-2056 was first brought to the attention of the Foundation in 19██ after reports of missing persons in the area of Mt. Rainier National Park in Washington were publicly declared to be anomalous in nature by several Elders of the local Native American Salish First Nations. Three Foundation Agents were dispatched to perform an investigation, posing as journalists covering the disappearances. The following is a transcript of an audio interview of tribal Elder ████ ████████ conducted by Agent ████. Agent ████: "Okay, it's recording. So you've, um… you and some of the other elders out here have come out saying these disappearances are paranormal? Could you tell me about that?" Elder ████: "I'm sure most of your readers will call it just superstitious nonsense from primitive people, but we know exactly what is taking these hikers. Going into the woods, in these lands, it is entering the territory of very old and very malevolent spirits. Have you ever heard of the Stick Indians?" Agent ████: "I have not. Tell me about them." Elder ████: "This is what we call them in English. We have our own word, but speaking their name is dangerous. It draws their attention. Even talking about them here could be called dangerous, but we must warn people away from their lands. White people seem to give Indian legends a little more weight… maybe it will actually help." Agent ████: "So these Stick Indians are the ones taking people. What are they?" Elder ████: "We think of them as trickster spirits of the forests. In our stories, they lead travelers astray, harm women and children… sometimes kill. They try to scare you first. They like making you hear things. Making you think you're going crazy. If you're lucky, that's all they want." [8 second pause] "We have always known about them. Us living on these lands. They are big, mean… like most monsters I guess. There have always been disappearances around the mountain. Stick Indians are what's taking them." Agent ████: "Alright, got it. I don't suppose you'd want to tell me where I could find one of these things?" Elder ████: "I know you know already. Doesn't matter though, they are more likely to come looking for you. You know about them… been touched by that knowledge. Look, you're a reporter, so report this; these forests aren't safe, and people will keep disappearing. It doesn't really matter what's causing it, but nothing else is changing so maybe it'll help." Following this and other interviews, MTF-Beta-34 ("Gag, Bag & Tag") were able to locate and sedate an instance of SCP-2056 in the Mount Rainier National Park forests, and called for immediate transport and evac. Agent ███████ was lost in the operation. Addendum: In the time since SCP-2056 was captured, disappearances in the affected region have begun to increase steadily. At approximately the same time that SCP-2056 began vocalizing in containment, reports of attacks on livestock and domestic animals started to increase in populated areas surrounding the Park. Operations to investigate and, if found, contain possible additional instances of SCP-2056 are currently in planning phases. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2056" by Kaiser Crab, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2057 | safe | Item #: SCP-2057 Special Containment Procedures: Outside of scheduled experiments, instances of SCP-2057 are to be stored in a standard large-volume storage locker in Containment Area-27 at a temperature of 25°C. Due to limited supply, experiment proposals need to be approved by at least two personnel with 2-1103 clearance and submitted to Dr. Applegate. Description: SCP-2057 is a set of ninety-two (92) 318 ml cans of condensed chicken noodle soup. All instances of SCP-2057 have brightly colored labels, bearing images of dancing vegetables, noodles, and a cartoon chicken. Each label bears the script "Dr. Wondertainment's Ultralicious™ Chicken Noodle Soup For Kids™!" The lid of each can is fitted with an easy-open pull top. Each can label has a set of nutritional values, ingredients, and instructions. + Nutritional Values - Nutritional Values Stated on Label Nutrition Facts Serving Size: 1 Can Servings Per Container: 1 Contents Amount Test Results Calories 95 cal Consistent at 95 cal Fat 3.17 g Higher than label states at 4.23 g Carbohydrates 2.29 g Consistent at 2.29 g Protein 13.48 g Higher than label states at 15.25 g Vitamin W™1 2.00 g Unknown compound consistent at 2.00 g Mother's Love 10.00 g Not identifiable or measurable + Ingredients - Ingredients Stated on Label Ingredients: Ultralicious™ chicken stock, enriched Chinese egg noodles, finest cooked chicken breast, farm fresh carrots, crispy-crunchy celery, sweet Vidalia onions, no paint thinner, fresh mountain spring water, Vitamin W™.

Eat hearty, and you'll feel better and ready to play with Dr Wondertainment toys in no time! On the lower back of each label is the following warning in fine print: Dr Wondertainment's Ultralicious™ Chicken Noodle Soup For Kids™! is intended to be eaten while it is hot, to make you feel better in no time at all! Do not consume after it has become cold. Do not reheat. By purchasing from Dr. Wondertainment you agree to not hold Dr. Wondertainment or any of Dr. Wondertainment's affiliates accountable for injuries or damages incurred by your product. Thank you for purchasing from Dr. Wondertainment. Opening an instance of SCP-2057 reveals that it is filled with condensed chicken broth and an egg-shaped mass made of 57 g of egg noodles. Upon adding water and heating to 70°C, the 'egg' hatches, revealing a small, juvenile domesticated chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) composed entirely of egg noodles, carrot, celery, onion, and cooked chicken breast, known from this point as SCP-2057-1. As the broth continues to heat, the instance of SCP-2057-1 will begin to move, vocalize in chirps, and consume the broth in which it was hatched. It will grow directly in proportion to the amount of broth consumed, reaching full size at 85 g, resembling a small, adult domesticated chicken. While the temperature is between 35°C and 70°C, SCP-2057-1 functions as if it is alive, behaving similarly to normal domesticated chickens. When dissected, SCP-2057-1 is shown to be composed entirely of edible ingredients: bones constructed of celery and onion, muscles constructed of cooked chicken breast, feathers constructed of egg noodles, beak and legs constructed of carrot, and blood consistent with chicken broth. SCP-2057-1 will continue to move, vocalize in cackles, and twitch as it is being dissected or consumed. When the temperature of SCP-2057-1 falls below 35°C, the instance ceases movement, falling over into the remaining broth and quickly collapses into chicken noodle soup, typically ranging in temperature from 20°C to 34°C. Below 20°C, SCP-2057-1 becomes congealed and gelatinous. + Test Results 35°-70°C - Test Results 35°-70°C When eaten at 35°C to 70°C, test subjects describe the taste of SCP-2057-1 to be "excellent", "delicious", and "homey". Test subjects also report a feeling of physical well-being after consuming SCP-2057-1, despite showing apprehension at eating a 'live' meal. 81% of the subjects experienced psychological trauma associated with losing a beloved pet after consuming the instance. Test subjects suffering from illnesses such as influenza, measles, and the common cold reported immediate alleviation of their symptoms upon consuming instances of SCP-2057-1 at temperatures between 35°C and 70°C. Improvement included drop in high fever, relief from aches and pains, cessation of cough and congestion, and improved overall health. Strong aversion to poultry-based products reported in 87% of test subjects. + Test Results 10°-34°C - Test Results 10°-34°C Test subjects consuming SCP-2057-1 at temperatures between 10°C to 34°C reported the taste as "bland", "disgusting", and "repulsive". 67% of test subjects reported severe cramping, chills, and diarrhea after consuming cooled SCP-2057-1. 62% of test subjects reported making involuntary clucking sounds and aversion to poultry-based products. Test subjects suffering from illnesses such as influenza, measles, and the common cold reported immediate complications of their symptoms upon consuming instances of SCP-2057-1 at temperatures between 10°C and 34°C. Complications included development of pin feathers along the forearms, excess loose skin growth on the crown of the head and under the chin, and an extreme change in gait when walking. 93% of subjects experienced vivid hallucinations and sensations of being hung upside-down by their ankles. + Reheating Test Results - Reheating Test Results Test 234 - Reheating SCP-2057-1 - 10/██/████ Subject: D-45782 Procedure: D-45782 is to reheat SCP-2057-1 in a microwave on high for two minutes and thirty seconds, then to consume the reheated instance. He is instructed to report his experiences to the camera provided. Results: (Test Time: 00:00) D-45782 reheated the instance of SCP-2057-1 as instructed. During the two and a half minutes, deep vocalizations were heard from the microwave. (02:32) D-45782 observes that the instance in the bowl still looks gelatinous in texture, with slight black burn areas near the edges. (02:55) D-45872 takes three bites and comments about being cold in the middle and hot on the edges. The subject describes the taste as horrifying and spits the instance onto the floor. The subject refuses to continue consuming the instance. (17:35) Within fifteen minutes of tasting the reheated instance of SCP-2057-1, D-45872 begins speaking angrily at the camera a second time, the words interspersed with vocalizations similar to stressed clucks and cackles. (17:40) Speech becomes increasingly incoherent. D-45872 begins scratching at his arms until they bleed. Loose skin is forming under the subject's neck and on top of the head. (17:46) D-45872 has lost all capability of speech. Large white pin feathers cover both of the subject's arms. Smaller feathers have begun sprouting from the subject's face. (18:02) Deterioration of D-45872's mental state has progressed to attempted destruction of objects within the testing room. Subject has rapidly grown feathers covering 67% of his skin, with severe physical change of the facial area, having an elongated, hardened nasal area and lower jaw. The upper lip has receded completely into the nasal cavity. (18:07) D-45872 expires. Analysis: Autopsy revealed D-45782's cause of death was due to extreme and sudden physical change of internal organs, resulting in shock and cardiac arrest. 93% of the subject's skin was covered in feathers. Physical changes in the face resulted in a beak-like alteration of the nose and mouth. Loose skin under the neck and on the top of the head resemble a wattle and comb. Subject's lower legs were found to be covered in thick, scaly skin with the toes of the subject's feet ending in small rounded claws. The subject and instance of SCP-2057-1 were incinerated after testing and autopsy. Addendum: SCP-2057 was recovered during a raid on a Marshall, Carter and Dark office in █████████████, New York, along with sixteen (16) other items. It was found in a shipping crate with indications of having been recently delivered by the Federal Postal Service, with an invalid return address. The shipping crate was estimated to hold one hundred and forty-four (144) instances of SCP-2057. One hundred and three (103) instances of SCP-2057 were recovered from the scene. The location of the remaining forty-one (41) instances of SCP-2057 is unknown, but under investigation after the discovery of a letter written to an associate employed at the Marshall, Carter, and Dark office. Tracing the letter to a physical address has proven unsuccessful to date. Dear Cyrus, Maria has told me of the unfortunate circumstances that have befallen your children. I had hoped to hear about the improvement of their conditions soon. As their godfather, I am extremely distressed to hear this. Having experienced a child suffering from the measles myself, I know how terrifying it can be when it seems as if they are getting worse. Recently, we received a shipment of something that I hope can help your family. There is a crate in the storage area marked with 'Wondertainment - Discontinued Item.' It will not be there long, as it goes to auction next week. I will leave a key under the photo of your family on your desk. Follow the instructions exactly. Do not, under any circumstances, do anything different than what is directed on the can. Destroy this message as soon as possible. I do not want any of this to come back on us. Be careful, my friend. ~Williams Footnotes 1. Compound unknown to scientists at the Foundation.

SCP-2058 | safe | close Info X SCP-2058: Smith Comma Jim Tastes like Some Stuff. Author: AndarielHalo Eat more of my SCPs. Eat them all. Also please eat some of these Anabasis Hub Probably the greatest story involving a pair of redheaded siblings whose infighting causes the end of the world Manna Charitable Foundation 2000 The sequel to the above, collaborationed with Dr Reach The Stuff Industry What happens when everyone around you at work is a complete idiot and so are you, but not only does no one get fired, but you actually turn a profit? I don't know, some stuff. When MCF and Stuff happen A fun story of incompetence 1/2058 LEVEL 1/2058 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-2058 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2058 is to be kept locked in containment chamber 44 when not in use. SCP-2058 is not allowed to wander on its own, and may be physically restrained if non-compliant. Containment chamber is to be kept empty and it is not allowed to hoard items of any kind, as subject has tendency to acquire objects independently. Description: SCP-2058 is a bipedal humanoid robot 2.7 meters tall, weighing 424 kg, constructed from high-strength polymer impregnated with carbon nanotubes and interlaced with reinforced fibers and epoxy. Speakers beneath its "face" produce a high pitched, heavily distorted voice of indeterminate sex. SCP-2058 contains a retractable chest cavity containing a bowl-shaped opening 11 cm in diameter. It autonomously seeks out small objects and places them into the opening. When its chest cavity is pressed back in place, a sheath of galvanized steel comes down over the bowl, at which point the object vanishes. When SCP-2058 was given a GPS tracking device to place within its chest cavity, the device continued to transmit, but upon SCP-2058's departure the device's signal did not change location, and it has to date continued transmitting from the point of disappearance. The means by which SCP-2058 disposes of objects placed within its chest cavity cannot be determined. With the exception of the steel sheath coming down around the object, there appears to be no activity taking place within the chest cavity. Heat generated by SCP-2058 during this process has not exceeded output while idle. Personnel who have examined the cavity report nothing to indicate objects are in any way transported or incinerated or pulverized, although four individuals have reported a brief sensation of warmth and numbness when touching the interior of SCP-2058. Additionally, SCP-2058 offers "life advice" in the form of incoherent, often belligerent or criminal, suggestions in exchange for US quarters any small metallic object. Content of these suggestions often involve sensitive information relating to Foundation personnel it has come into contact with. "Advice" delivered in this fashion becomes more personalized with each suggestion offered, indicating SCP-2058 gauges the reaction of the individual and adjusts further responses as a result. SCP-2058 was discovered in a reinforced shipping container 22.54 km off the coast of ███████, Washington. The container was heavily degraded, with polyps beginning to cover the exposed surface. The remains of a logo are visible on one end, with the name "Stuff and Something, Inc" having survived. The container showed no signs of having been opened, nor were the remains of any shipwreck found in the vicinity. Addendum: SCP-2058 has shown a tendency to steal objects discreetly. When confronted, SCP-2058 denies the theft or attempted theft, demonstrating a clear attempt at subterfuge. Regular inspections of SCP-2058's containment chambers have recovered several items stolen from personnel. In one instance, SCP-2058 was observed placing several metallic objects, including jewelry and nails, into its chest cavity. In this instance, none of the stolen items were recovered. Some of the recovered items include: A pressure valve 150 aluminum nails Seven 9mm bullet shell casings 17 assorted lengths of copper wire 2 credit cards A roll of electrical tape A █████ SATA hard drive (newly purchased and not used) 14 flash cards used by personnel involved in SCP-████ ( [DATA EXPUNGED] ) As of ██/██/2014, SCP-2058 has displayed an interest in SCPs (including SCP-████ referenced above) catalogued and/or filed by [REDACTED]. A potential link between the items is being investigated. Log of Communications: The following suggestions made by SCP-2058 have been noted due to undue level of knowledge of sensitive information. Due to risk of data breach or leakage, SCP-2058 is no longer allowed to interact with personnel outside of Drs. Prynn, █████, and Streen. 04/04/2011: SCP-2058 informed Dr. Prynn that researchers were more numerous than valid D-Class candidates and more likely to leak classified information to friends and family. SCP-2058 then suggested a routine schedule of monthly termination of researchers to avoid such leaks. 11/16/2011: SCP-2058 suggested "Have you tried ignoring SCP-682? Bullies often thrive on attention. Ignore them long enough and they are eventually liable to stop." 2/24/2012: SCP-2058 claimed "Nothing stops you from terminating Dr. █████. Everyone knows he's a fake." Note: Information regarding Dr. █████ and the [REDACTED] allegations have been expunged from Dr. █████'s record. 2/28/2012: SCP-2058 claimed "Babies are cheap, fast, plentiful, and fun to make. Why not put them to use instead of wasting valuable full-grown Class-D personnel?" 3/16/2012: Over a 48 hour period, SCP-2058 responded to all questions and comments with the phrase "There you go again!" 5/11/2013: SCP-2058 asked without context, "Is this the one with blood sacrifices?" 6/22/2013: SCP-2058 informed Dr. Prynn of the allegedly high likelihood of successfully embezzling Foundation funds for her own personal use. SCP-2058 then offered to feign a containment breach to allow for additional funding in containing the subject. SCP-2058 demanded it be given at least 4% of the proceeds in turn. 1/14/2014: SCP-2058 told Dr. Prynn "You are getting fat. You could lose some weight. Have you thought about removing your legs and replacing them with cybernetic prostheses? Take it from me, they are fun." 2/1/2014: SCP-2058 exclaimed "Stuff and Something Inc is a fraudulent company and I highly doubt many of the people working there even know their company's name." 4/12/2014: SCP-2058 made reference to a non-existent SCP, then apologized upon learning of its mistake, claiming it had been "momentarily displaced." ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2058" by AndarielHalo, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2059 | euclid | A close-up of SCP-2059's sensory organ. 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. 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. <Begin Log> <SCP-2059-1's location has changed during the time Dr. J████ was being transported to the scene. The audio is muffled due to SCP-2059-1 partly facing the wall.> 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. SCP-2059-1: … I am a learned one of Buddha. It is my duty to show him the error of his ways. He may be but an infant, curious to learn… But he knows still so little. He needs guidance, and I am h- [SCP-2059 rearranges, and SCP-2059-1 withdraws underneath the surface.] <End Log> Closing Statement: SCP-2059 returned to an idle state. Further occasions of SCP-2059-1 appearing are yet to be recorded. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2059" by Nanoro, from the SCP Wiki.

An industrial-grade dehumidifier should be active in the habitat room at all times. A 16-watt white LED bulb light should shine into each habitat at all times. Once per week, a veterinarian that specializes in small mammals should manually feed each instance of SCP-2060 with three grams of tobacco. Before using instances of SCP-2060 in tests, a proposal must be submitted to the Ethics Committee for approval. The boxes that contained instances of SCP-2060 are stored in the Low-Security Physical Archive Wing of Site-42. Description: SCP-2060 refers to multiple 15-cm-tall duplicates of various [former] politicians and popular celebrities, (such as Pele, William Clinton, M.S. Subbulakshmi, Nicolas Cage, Nelson Mandela, etc.). Each duplicate is dressed in the same attire: an unmarked black dress suit with a small circular badge (depicting flags of their counterpart's nationality) pinned to the lapel, a white undershirt (on which unknown symbols have been sewn), a red and white plaid tie, and black dress shoes. Standard animal intelligence testing has shown SCP-2060 instances to have cognitive functions approximately equivalent to the common brown rat (Rattus norvegicus). Dissection has shown that instances of SCP-2060 are genetically and biologically identical to their human counterparts. Despite being miniaturized to the point where higher brain and bodily functions would be nonexistent, instances of SCP-2060 show no ill effects, and are capable of locomotion, typically wandering and exploring their enclosure. SCP-2060 instances are able to speak, but only repeat quotes that are on the public record as having been spoken by their larger counterparts, and do not respond to actual speech. Occasionally, instances of SCP-2060 may repeat the phrase "Help me! Save me! Stop this!" and then quickly revert to their normal speech patterns. Instances of SCP-2060 generally die if not used within 45 days, although this length may be extended by being fed unspoiled tobacco. Instances of SCP-2060 may be used as cigarettes. When the head of an instance is ignited and the feet placed in the mouth, the user will experience the effects and taste of smoking a cigarette, up to and including nicotine addiction. Instances of SCP-2060 will continue to burn up to the lower torso, down to the bone until scorched; they do not burn past the waist. SCP-2060 instances appear to feel pain, reacting in a manner similar to normal humans if ignited or masticated, but continue to utter phrases spoken by their counterparts. The phrase "Help me! Save me! Stop this!" will appear with greater frequency and at a higher pitch. Users describe observing SCP-2060 burning as satisfying and calming. While an instance of SCP-2060 is being used, the user will either sympathize with the political affiliation of the smoked instance's counterpart or express greater proficiency in and appreciation of their artistic talent, depending on the instance used. Initially, the effect only lasts while an instance of SCP-2060 is in use, but lasts longer as more instances are used, eventually becoming permanent. In the event that instances with different political affiliations are used consecutively, the user will experience what appears to be a form of dissociative identity disorder, expressing solidarity with the political affiliations of all smoked instances simultaneously. Users are ignorant of these effects, and will claim to have always supported said political affiliation, even when confronted with proof of the discrepancy. Acquisition Log: SCP-2060 was acquired along with several other SCPs following a raid on the curio shop "Curios of the Worlds" in ███████. Several rows behind the counter were lined with cigarette packs containing instances of SCP-2060. Each pack was labeled in a variant of Swedish that transliterated into Sanskrit. The front side of each pack containing a politician reads: MARLBORO LEGACY EDITION TM FILTERED NICOFLESH SPECIAL EDITION SINGING POLITICIAN Dihydrogen monoxide seriously damages health The front side of each pack containing a celebrity reads: MARLBORO LEGACY EDITION TM FILTERED NICOFLESH SPECIAL EDITION RELIGIOUS FIGURES Dihydrogen monoxide seriously damages health The back side of all packs read: SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: SMOKING KILLS. SMOKING MAY EFFECT IRREVERSIBLE POLITICAL OR RELIGIOUS CHANGE THAT MAY ALIENATE NEIGHBORS, COLLEAGUES, AND LOVED ONES. SMOKING INCREASES THE RISK OF UNCONTROLLED BINARY FISSION. GANDHI SMOKED IN THE PUPA. Property of Phillip Morris UBC Addendum: Incident 2060-1: On ██/██/██, an instance of SCP-2060 resembling Nicolas Cage escaped its terrarium. It entered the ventilation system and proceeded through Site-42, wreaking havoc on various non-essential electrical systems within the ventilation. The instance caused a fire when it entered the Hazardous Materials Testing Ground. D-14542, a heavy smoker and previous tester of SCP-2060, incapacitated the instance by stepping on it, then placing its head into a fire and smoking it. While being smoked, D-14542 reported that the instance repeated the following phrases until its head was burnt up: "I want to be Bob Denver on acid playing the accordion! From somewhere else! We burn every day! Kill us! Killing me won't bring back your god damned honey! They promised us immortality! A legacy! Put the bunny back in the box! 1010101 Westminster Abbey, New London, United British Colonies! This isn't what we were told! They aren't us, they aren't us! Shoot him again, his soul's still dancing!" No other instance of SCP-2060 has ever repeated the same phrases, nor tried to escape since. Observation of SCP-2060's counterparts has shown no abnormalities besides an increased average Hume reading (although all readings fall within acceptable parameters). No 1010101 Westminster Abbey has ever been located. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2060" by A Random Day, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2061 | safe | SCP-2061, pictured during experimentation in 1981. Item #: SCP-2061 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2061 is kept in a standard containment locker at Site-76 in a secure container. Experimentation on and access to SCP-2061 is currently suspended indefinitely. Future experimentation with SCP-2061 is to be led by Foundation personnel employed as contractors by the Sharp Corporation. The three living 2061-Positive individuals are currently housed in Foundation-affiliated offsite inpatient psychiatric facilities, listed in Document 2061-C. Professional care at these facilities has been directed at avoiding visual contact between 2061-Positive individuals and objects capable of performing user-facing electronic mathematical calculations.1 Description: SCP-2061 is a late-1970s Sharp ElsiMate EL-1185 electronic printing pocket calculator. SCP-2061 produces a compulsive effect in >99% of humans viewing it2 in person, within a range of approximately 20 meters. This effect is nullified if there is any solid physical object between SCP-2061 and the viewer, even if the object is transparent. Windows, plastic bags and other clear objects have proven sufficient to prevent the manifestation of SCP-2061’s effect. The compulsive urge manifests as an irresistible desire to insert any object capable of performing user-facing electronic mathematical calculations into one’s own oral cavity, as deeply as possible. This urge manifests regardless of the harm caused by its being acted upon, and a number of fatalities and severe tracheal injuries were caused by SCP-2061 prior to the object’s transfer to SCP Foundation containment. SCP-2061’s cognitohazardous effect does not appear to manifest on any individuals who meet the following criteria: Criterion A: Individuals who have received payment from the Sharp Corporation or any of its subsidiaries at any point in their lives Criterion B: Individuals who have had unprotected sexual intercourse3 with those meeting Criterion A. Individuals having sexual intercourse with those meeting Criterion B but not Criterion A do not have immunity from SCP-2061’s effects, in four known instances. Interviews with Sharp Corporation executives and investigation into corporate records has thus far unearthed no purposeful connection between Sharp and SCP-2061. Recovery: SCP-2061 was initially contained by the Trenton Police Department, after a family of five died of asphyxiation from inserting SCP-2061 into their oral cavities in turn. Initial responding officer R. Allen was able to insert SCP-2061 into a sealed evidence bag, as she met Criteria B for SCP-2061 immunity. This prevented discovery of SCP-2061’s anomalous effect until two investigators from the department died and one was hospitalized from its effects after removing SCP-2061 from its evidence bag, at which point the Foundation was notified. Initial press reports from the Trenton area were censored by Local Task Force 609-Semkath (“Super Bowl Three”). An excerpt of a Trenton Times article from 1976 regarding the first known 2061 event is reproduced below: Footnotes 1. Since SCP-2061’s initial containment in 1979, this category of objects has dramatically expanded, including phones, PDAs and other objects listed in External Containment Guidelines. 2. Those able to be impacted by this compulsive urge are known as 2061-Susceptible individuals. 3. The requirements of “unprotected sexual intercourse” for the spread of SCP-2061 immunity are currently not fully understood, beyond direct bodily fluid contact. Further study on these requirements is currently proposed by Foundation demographic researchers. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2061" by Kate McTiriss, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2063 | euclid | Item#: 2063 Level4 Containment Class: euclid Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: warning link to memo SCP-2063 in containment. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2063 should be mounted on its stand when not being tested, and stored in a secure enclosure no smaller than 3m x 3m x 3m. The stand itself should be securely mounted atop a 1.5 meter tall pedestal affixed to the floor, or otherwise securely fixed in the center of the room. Other than during approved testing, no object or obstruction other than the plastic stand is to come within a 1 meter spherical radius, centered on the point of contact between the ship and the stand, unless that object directly supports the stand itself. At least once every 60 days, SCP-2063 is to be removed from its plastic stand, carried around the enclosure for a period of 5 minutes, and then placed back onto its stand. This procedure has been demonstrated to prevent SCP-2063 from acting autonomously. However, in the event that SCP-2063 spontaneously attacks personnel or raises its "shields," personnel are advised to immediately put down any tools or weapons, move more than 2 meters away from SCP-2063, and wait for SCP-2063 to lower its shields. (This typically occurs within 3-5 minutes of inactivity.) When its shields are down, SCP-2063 is generally considered safe to approach, and can be manually retrieved. SCP-2063 should be continually monitored by electronic means for EM and radio transmissions, as well as movement, and any unscheduled autonomous activity should be logged. All tests involving Landing Events must be scheduled in advance, and approved by Site management of Level 3 or higher, and should only be attempted within SCP-2063's secure enclosure. Outdoor testing is expressly prohibited. Landing Events involving maps, globes and other depictions of real locations are forbidden except as required by O5 Command. Destructive Materials Testing is currently prohibited, see Addendum 1 below. Deliberate observation of SCP-2063's autonomous behavior requires prior written approval from the site's Security Director. SCP-2063 exhibiting a "shields up" response. Researchers triggered the response using a 500mW laser pointer held well outside its 2 meter "scanning" range. It is unclear how SCP-2063 detects the incoming beam prior to impact. Description: SCP-2063 is a resin model of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701, resembling the ship of the same name from the 1966 American television show, Star Trek. It measures approximately 28 centimeters in length at its longest point. It includes a battery enclosure (currently empty) with a removable cover, and a black plastic display stand. Materials testing has revealed that the main bulk of the model is a solid mass of polyoxymethylene, laced with trace amounts of various heavy metals, including some radioactive isotopes (which have not been observed to lose mass as they decay,) as well as traces of Cibacron F Scarlet dye and human DNA. SCP-2063's primary anomalous effect occurs when the ship is removed from its stand. Subjects handling the ship report auditory hallucinations consistent with the main theme of the original Star Trek television series, as well as various iconic sound effects reminiscent of the show. If the ship is then placed onto any object in the room other than its stand, the room containing SCP-2063 undergoes a Landing Event, as outlined below. In an SCP-2063 Landing Event, the interior of the room containing SCP-2063 becomes "separated" from the rest of the facility. From the outside, all doors and other entrances resemble nearly frictionless black planes, emitting a constant surface temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. Likewise, subjects in the room with SCP-2063 during a Landing Event likewise no longer perceive the outside world. Instead, beyond the door and any windows, subjects report vistas of alien worlds, often corresponding either visually or thematically with the object SCP-2063 was placed upon. Certain bands of radio waves propagate normally from the interior of the room to the exterior of the room during Landing Events. This makes it possible for researchers to observe Landing Events in realtime. However, two-way communication is not currently possible in this manner, as radio waves from the exterior do not appear able to penetrate the interior. Placing SCP-2063 on similar objects often results in the room "visiting" the same world in successive tests. Examples of worlds that can be reliably accessed in this manner include: Experiment ID# SCP-2063 placed upon: Resulting Xenoscape LE-003 Standard conference table A grey cityscape devoid of life. LE-005 Balsa wood dresser A series of flat mesas apparently made of balsa wood. Constant pecking noises were audible, coming from underground. LE-018 Pepperoni pizza (hot) A series of vast underground chasms lined with pulsating, apparently organic masses. Molten lava visible at the bottom of the largest chamber. LE-019 Pepperoni pizza (cooled) Same as previous test, except lava replaced with volcanic rock and wall growth dead and decaying. Flag planted by test subjects in LE-018 was still present, but appeared "chewed." LE-023 Poster depicting an annotated map of Earth's moon Room connected to Earth's actual moon. D-class were immediately blown out of the room by explosive decompression. Later, Mare Imbrium Outpost personnel confirmed the presence of human remains; initiated cleanup. Containment procedures updated to preclude the use of maps without O5 Approval. Please refer to Document 2063-LE-L for a comprehensive list of worlds visited to date and known objects that can be used to access them. Subjects within the room during a Landing Event can exit the room normally, walk around on the extraterrestrial landscape, and even retrieve objects and artifacts. However, all foreign objects so retrieved dissolve without trace within 20 seconds after the termination of the Landing Event. A Landing Event terminates when SCP-2063 is picked up again by a human subject, or when all subjects affected by the Landing Event have been terminated. Upon termination of a Landing Event, the room is again visible and physically accessible from its original location on Earth. It should be noted that D-class personnel tend to have a high mortality rate during Landing Events. For reasons that are not well-understood (but which have been heavily speculated upon by researchers,) D-class personnel are invariably the first to be terminated by dangers present. Test groups comprised exclusively of researchers tend to fare better, although fatalities can still occur. It has been noted that when a mixed group of researchers and D-class participate in the same Landing Event, subjects other than D-class usually emerge unscathed. For this reason, it is recommended that at least one D-class personnel accompany any researcher or group of researchers wishing to study a Landing Event firsthand. SCP-2063's secondary anomalous properties manifest when approximately 70 days have elapsed without the object being handled, or when SCP-2063 perceives a "threat" to itself. In these situations, SCP-2063 becomes autonomous, and will detach from the stand of its own volition. It behaves in a manner similar to spaceships depicted on the show, flying around the room without apparent regard to gravity or momentum, emitting sweeps of radiation out to 2 meters in what is presumed to be active scanning, projecting a visible "shield" around the ship, and discharging energy weapons at threats, out to a maximum range of one meter. Targets have included a pair of wire cutters held by a researcher, a Rockwell-type hardness tester, the emitter of a 4000 watt CO2 cutting laser, and most of a D-class personnel who, unprompted, attempted to unscrew the main sensor array. The intelligence of SCP-2063 is a subject of ongoing study, but at this point appears to be quite limited. It does not seem to associate existent threats, such as Destructive Testing tools, with the individuals holding or operating those tools. In general, it will raise its shields immediately when it detects a "threat," vaporize any part of that threat coming within 1 meter of it, and then lower its shields after the threat has been neutralized or has been out of "scanning range" for approximately 5 minutes. It will fly around the inside of its enclosure, but will generally not attempt to pass through open doors, exhibiting behavior similar to that observed in some species of fish when a glass partition is removed from their tank. However, it is emphasized that the Foundation first became aware of SCP-2063's autonomous behavior when it used its energy weapons to cut its way out of the High-Value Materials Storage Locker in which it had been stored for more than 70 days. (Refer to Incident Report 2063-02 for details.) Up until this point, SCP-2063 had been classified as Safe. Due to the projected difficulty of reestablishing containment should SCP-2063 ever seriously attempt a breach, current Containment Procedures are designed to reduce the likelihood of any unscheduled autonomous activity manifesting in the first place. On 9/08/12, SCP-2063 began transmitting the Fibonacci sequence. It has not, however, responded to any Foundation attempts to communicate. The resurgence of this transmission is often one of the first signs of autonomous activity when the object has not been handled for more than 70 days. Addendum 1: Following Destructive Materials Test 2063-002, in which researchers attempted to remove a small portion of the main sensor dish, SCP-2063 has resisted all subsequent attempts at Destructive Testing with overwhelming, sometimes lethal force. Special Containment Procedures have been updated to establish best practices for this contingency.

We've got it at the other end of a secure wired connection in sub-basement 03. Ever since one of the lab boys figured out how to make it talk, we've left this message here, both as a calling card, and as a sort of aptitude test. By accessing this file, you've just passed that test. You see, sometimes the objects retrieved from SCP-2063 don't melt away after you end the Landing Event. Sometimes we connect to really weird places that are nonetheless real. It's not just the Moon. We've found computers, trinkets, clothing… creatures have followed us home. We get an occasional SCP Object, but most of it is just… stuff. And we never seem to find the people who created the stuff. There is one test that we performed early on, which was completely expunged from the records. Even the numbering system was changed to suppress awareness of it. Since then, we have been quietly moving key people around. We need as many people as we can get who can do what you've just done. You are hereby ordered to report to SCP-2063's enclosure at 05:00 hours tomorrow. Ignore the testing procedures you are given at that time. Once the chamber door closes behind you, you will hear a buzzer. That sound is your indication that the cameras are no longer recording. Retrieve the ship from its stand, remove the ship's battery cover, place the battery cover on the floor EXTERIOR SIDE DOWN, and set the ship down on top of it. Then step through the door. You will receive further instruction on the other side. Suffice it to say that you are about to embark upon what may be one of the most important experiments this institution has ever conducted.

Also please eat some of these Anabasis Hub Probably the greatest story involving a pair of redheaded siblings whose infighting causes the end of the world Manna Charitable Foundation 2000 The sequel to the above, collaborationed with Dr Reach The Stuff Industry What happens when everyone around you at work is a complete idiot and so are you, but not only does no one get fired, but you actually turn a profit? I don't know, some stuff. When MCF and Stuff happen A fun story of incompetence 1/2064 LEVEL 1/2064 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-2064 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2064-A, -B, -C, and -D are to be contained in separate standard humanoid containment chambers. Subjects are not allowed to be in contact or communication with one another outside of interrogations and/or testing. When subjects are together, they are to be physically restrained at all times, and accompanied by no fewer than 4 guards armed with non-lethal weaponry. Description: SCP-2064 refers to four individual women, going by the names Mars (SCP-2064-A), Kit (SCP-2064-B), Ruth (SCP-2064-C), and Reese (SCP-2064-D). When grouped in mutual line of sight and/or sound, the women experience a shared delusion in which they believe themselves to be a band of robbers and mercenaries, guided by two fictitious individuals named "Frank" and "Andy". As a group, the subjects are able to communicate complicated details and abstract concepts to one another non-verbally, and develop a higher tolerance for physical pain. Additionally, they demonstrate a sophisticated knowledge of skill sets essential to their "trade", including expert handling of firearms and improvised explosive devices, knowledge of American Sign Language, safe-cracking, vocal impersonation and ventriloquism.1 Discovery: SCP-2064 first came to local ██PD attention on 9/██/20██, during a botched robbery of a local bank which ended in a firefight. 13 officers were killed and 7 wounded in the exchange, and all four subjects escaped and managed to evade police detection. They re-surfaced in nearby ██████ County, California, where they stole a number of small arms and heavy ordnance from a National Guard depot. Federal authorities became involved at this point, as security footage showed the subjects wearing body armor and carrying illegal firearms prior to the theft. Foundation personnel became involved on ██/██/20██, when the subjects successfully infiltrated Site-██. Security became alerted to their presence early on, and three of the subjects escaped in the ensuing firefight. SCP-2064-D was wounded attempting to escape and was taken into Foundation custody. The three remaining subjects began to show a marked depreciation in skills as future incidents were more regularly botched, ultimately leading to the capture of SCP-2064-A on 11/10/20██. The two remaining subjects were arrested seven weeks later in a failed heist, and later remanded to Foundation custody. Under interrogation, subject claimed to have been an unwitting participant in the crimes, and could not identify the other subjects. The arms taken from the subjects upon their respective arrests had no serial numbering, manufacturers' marks, nor any record of production that could be found. The armor used was similarly free from any identifying marks or source. None of the subjects' financial records showed purchases of firearms of any sort, nor any significant monetary withdrawals. As such, it is unknown where or when the equipment used by the subjects was acquired. Interviewed separately, the subjects could provide no clear explanation for their actions, nor provide a coherent or accurate account of the events as they unfolded, including SCP-2064-C who outright denied the events having taken place. SCP-2064-A "Mars" Interview Snippets Close log (Foreword: SCP-2064-A "Mars" is a 27-year-old computer programmer and amateur wrestler, with no history of violent crime. Subject previously lived in █████████, Hawaii and had no prior contact with any of the other subjects before the first bank robbery.) Dr. Marlowe: You can't tell me anything about the crime spree, then? Mars: No. I just-I just saw it happen. Like… like, it happened and I was there. But like, that's it. Dr. Marlowe: You saw it unfolding, but you couldn't control yourself? Mars: No, I could control myself. I just didn't. It was, like, a dream. You know, like, when you're in a dream and it's like… you're a different person. You're fully aware and conscious of what, of what you're doing and stuff. But like… you wake up and you're someone completely different, like "Wow. I almost died in that brutal firefight, and for a quick moment I was actually pissed off that I didn't…". Can I use a bathroom, please? Dr. Marlowe: What do you know about a "Frank" or "Andy"? Mars: [Subject begins to tremble and look physically ill] I don't know those names… I killed people, didn't I? I'm not going home again. SCP-2064-B "Kit" Interview Snippets Close log (Foreword: SCP-2064-B "Kit" is a 38-year-old single mother and former stock model. Priors include arrests for trespassing, multiple counts of battery, disturbing the peace, resisting arrest, and vandalism. Subject previously lived in ██████, New York and had no prior contact with any of the other subjects before the first bank robbery.) Dr. Marlowe: "Kit"… where's that name come from? Kit: I don't know. Dr. Marlowe: Nothing significant behind it? Kit: No. Dr. Marlowe: Why the name, then? Kit: It's just what we called each other. Like when you hear someone calling your name in a crowd. You just instinctively respond to it. Someone said "Hey, Kit" and I instinctively responded to it. Dr. Marlowe: Given your record, it doesn't really surprise me to hear that you were the muscle of the group. Kit: "Muscle"? Dr. Marlowe: You don't remember the firefights? Kit: I remember sneaking around places, cramming myself into tight compartments, nearly blowing our cover when I nearly had an asthma attack about a foot away from an armed guard. Dr. Marlowe: When it came to firefights, you were the one carrying the heaviest armor. Heaviest gun. Wore a welder's mask. Witnesses said you took bullets without budging. Kit: Eyewitnesses? Because their testimony is always so fucking reliable, right? Dr. Marlowe: You don't remember any of that? Kit: Right now I'm more focused on trying to figure out what happened from what I do remember, and how the fuck I'm going to explain all of this to my daughter. SCP-2064-C "Ruth" Interview Snippets Close log (Foreword: SCP-2064-C "Ruth" is a 21-year-old college student. Criminal records were expunged due to subject being a minor and first-time offender at the time. Subject previously lived in ███ ██████, California and had no prior contact with any of the other subjects before the first bank robbery.) Dr. Marlowe: You say nothing happened? Ruth: Nothing. I don't know what happened, I'm… I don't… [Subject begins to break down] Dr. Marlowe: I just want to know what you know. As far as I can tell, it seems like you were a victim here, too. I'm not police, you don't have to hide anything from me. Ruth: I told you I don't know. I don't — I don't know who those other women are. I don't know why they call me Ruth, I've never heard of any Ruth… I just wanna go home. Dr. Marlowe: Do you remember talking to, or hearing about a "Frank" or an "Andy"? Ruth: No, no, I told you already no. I don't know anyone! I don't know anything! SCP-2064-D "Reese" Interview Snippets Close log (Foreword: SCP-2064-D "Reese" is a 29-year-old detective in [REDACTED] Department in ███ ██████, California. Subject is the sole individual with any history with one of the other subjects.) Reese: I've never used my gun. Never needed to. Dr. Marlowe: Still, you would have had firearms training — Reese: Yeah, I did. With a pistol. Not with a… one of those big fucking things you caught me with. Dr. Marlowe: Do you remember using it? Reese: Yeah, I remember. I lived it. I can't explain how or why I did it. It was like I was drugged. I was conscious and aware, but everything I did and said was like… It was like a game. I wasn't focused on 'kill that person, shoot out that camera, sneak into this hall', I was more focused on… 'point your gun in this direction, prevent this object from working, go into this hall' like… like it was a test. Like I got extra points for speed, efficiency, whatever. Dr. Marlowe: "Frank" telling you to do these things? Reese: Frank? Frank G██████?2 Dr. Marlowe: No. This Frank is female. Reese: I don't know any female Franks. Why? Dr. Marlowe: What about an "Andy"? Reese: Nope. Sounds like you've got a lead, though. Dr. Marlowe: I'm not police. Reese: Still, this is… this is interesting. You know, I'm pretty good at what I do. If you ever need help with finding this "Frank" or "Andy", I'll be glad to help. Dr. Marlowe: I'll pass that along to our investigative team. I think they'll be amenable to any help they can get. Reese: Thank you, doctor. Really. When interviewed together, the subjects are able to faithfully and accurately recount the series of events as they occurred and show no signs of confusion, remorse, or uncertainty. Interview Log G-03: (Foreword: All subjects were present for the interview. This particular interview was the first to be completed without incident in the form of SCP-2064 subjects attempting to attack personnel and attempt escape) (Begin Log) Dr. Marlowe: So. Mars, Kit, Ruth, and Reese. Which one of you was the leader? (None of the subjects responds) Dr. Marlowe: None of you were in charge? You all worked and acted together without anyone giving orders? Mars: We all knew what to do. Reese: Where to be. Dr. Marlowe: How about why did you do it? Mars: Why does anyone do anything? Dr. Marlowe: Most people don't pick up guns they've never fired before and kill dozens of people in the process of robbing a bank. Kit: But we did. Dr. Marlowe: How? Kit: We just did. Ruth: What kind of question is that? Dr. Marlowe: According to your initial interviews, none of you ever met prior to the first bank. None of you lived anywhere close to each other. None of you even knew each others' names. Reese: I'm Reese. She's Mars. Kit: I'm Kit. The other's Ruth. Dr. Marlowe: That's not what I meant. Ruth: It's what you get, though. Dr. Marlowe: How about these people, "Frank" and "Andy"? Ruth: Frank was Frank. She talked to us on a radio. Sometimes Andy took over. Dr. Marlowe: None of you had radios on you when you were caught. Ruth: That's wrong. Dr. Marlowe: Did you wear earpieces? Reese: We heard them on a personal radio. Do you understand? Dr. Marlowe: Yeah, and I'm asking what sort of radio. Kit: [Addressing Ruth] "She?" Dr. Marlowe: Frank's not a girl? Ruth: Frank was Frank. She talked to us on radio. Sometimes Andy took over. Kit: She talked to us on radio. Do you understand? Dr. Marlowe: None of you were wearing personal radios when you were caught, and none of the eyewitnesses remembers any of you wearing an earpiece. Mars: So? Dr. Marlowe: So what's going on? You guys keep telling me what you did and how you did it, why can't you tell me anything about how you spoke to "Frank" and "Andy"? Reese: Here's what I can tell you. One night I'm going to walk out of my cell and I'm going to find you in your office when you're working late, and I'm going to cut your throat. Dr. Marlowe: Guards, would you kindly take them back to their chambers? We're done here. (End Log) Footnotes 1.

SCP-2065 | euclid | I downvoted this one. I've said before that I can't stand body horror skips, so I thought I'd try to overcome that (and maybe come to understand them a little better) by doing one of my own. Special thanks to several folks who helped me with this on IRC. ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} Item #: SCP-2065 Special Containment Procedures: All 14 known copies of SCP-2065 are currently in Foundation custody. They are to be kept in a high value containment vault on floor 26 of Site-88. Research involving SCP-2065 is currently prohibited. Under no circumstances are copies of SCP-2065 to be reproduced. Any SCP-2065-1 instances in Foundation custody are to be kept in individual standard humanoid containment cells. Under no circumstances are any SCP-2065-1 instances to be allowed to progress to stage 3 of SCP-2065's effects. Any SCP-2065-1 instance that fails to maintain its daily caloric intake for any reason is to be reported to the SCP-2065 project director. Any SCP-2065-1 instances that are found to be suffering from second or third phase SCP-2065 effects and are not part of a current test are to be immediately terminated. This termination should include incineration of all remains associated with SCP-2065-1 instances. Description: SCP-2065 is a book titled Eat Whatever You Want… and Still Lose Weight! by Christian Paulman. If an individual reads any portion of pages 9-23 of SCP-2065, that individual will be converted into an SCP-2065-1 instance. The remainder of SCP-2065's content is superficially similar to most "fad diets".1 When followed, the advice leads to little to no weight loss (and has been observed to lead to an increase in weight). SCP-2065-1 instances undergo three distinct phases of SCP-2065's effect. The first phase of SCP-2065's effect creates an additional requirement of approximately 4600 calories to maintain the weight of an SCP-2065-1 instance. If this additional caloric requirement is maintained, the SCP-2065-1 instance will suffer from no further anomalous effects. Caloric intake related to this anomalous increase has no effect on the SCP-2065-1 instance outside of maintaining their current weight. The volume of caloric intake and measurements of defecation have shown that the additional mass does not continue through the SCP-2065-1 instance's digestive system. Despite attempts at observation, the destination of this additional mass has not been determined. SCP-2065-1 instances that do not maintain their weight through additional caloric intake will begin phase two of SCP-2065's effect. Weight loss associated with SCP-2065 appears to initially target the fat stores of the individual SCP-2065-1 instance. However, weight loss will continue even if there is no longer any fat to draw from as internal organs begin to act as sources for the continued maintenance of SCP-2065's effect. The epidermis of an SCP-2065-1 instance and most organs contained in the head of an instance remain immune to this effect. During the second phase, SCP-2065-1 instances will lose mobility and suffer from expected problems associated with the loss of organs as those organs are consumed. Instances suffering from second stage effects will not expire regardless of organ loss (though termination via damage to the brain has proven partially successful). Pain medication has only proven partially effective in comforting individuals in this phase, likely due to the degeneration of the majority of organs associated with blood flow. Once internal structure associated with an SCP-2065-1 instance has been consumed, the instance will enter into the third phase of SCP-2065's effect. The remaining skin will become, through means which are currently not understood, capable of independent motion. This motion includes an ability to stand, sit, and jump. In addition, organs located in the skull (including any remaining bone) will become capable of significantly more elasticity than in an unaffected individual. SCP-2065-1 instances in this third phase of effect are generally hostile to living individuals. The provision of daily nutrition approximate to the instance's previous activity levels and accounting for an additional 14,000 calories has proven sufficient to reduce aggression levels to a manageable point. SCP-2065-1 instances in their third phase have proven difficult to terminate, and in most cases application of high levels of heat has been required to permanently terminate an instance. Stage Three SCP-2065-1 Instance Behaviors: Stage three -1 instances are capable of remarkable stealth, and possess strength far in excess of that which would be expected, given their lack of musculature. Instances appear to differentiate between living and non-living entities, and will consume any dead or non-living food prior to killing and consuming a living individual if both are present. If not provided with additional caloric intake to suppress their aggressive nature, instances will begin to display predatory behavior. It appears that these instances continue to possess knowledge associated with the individuals prior to their conversion, as they have been shown to operate doors, and in at least one case were capable of utilizing a keypad to enter a restricted area. The primary attack of a stage three -1 instance is often focused on the head of an individual, suffocating victims by forcibly entering the airway via the mouth. Following a successful attack the instance will remove itself from the airway of the victim, and begin a process of consumption similar to that found in large snakes (again starting with the head of a victim). Instances have shown an ability to consume individual victims possessing a circumference far beyond what would be expected. This is accomplished through a stretching of their own tissues in a manner which is not completely understood, but which allows for consumption of whole human bodies. The digestion process occurs in a manner similar to the consumption of internal organs in a stage two SCP-2065-1 instance. Unlike a stage two instance, this process often leaves no remains. + 2065-5 Incident Report Hide Incident Report Prior to the establishment of current procedures involving SCP-2065-1 instances, a number of stage three instances were retained by the Foundation for testing. During a scheduled feeding, a single instance was found to be missing from its holding area. Despite a full site lock down, the instance was not recovered for several days. This instance was eventually found in the office of Nicholas Miller behind several locked doors (including at least one that required keypad entry). This instance had consumed several office staff over a period of several minutes. The instance was difficult to remove from the area due to its bulk, and a decision was made to monitor and effect capture once its mass had been reduced through its anomalous nature. However, after several hours, the bulk of this instance had not reduced in a manner that was consistent with previous knowledge of stage three instances. Shortly after a decision to terminate the instance on location through incineration was made, it began to regurgitate several additional SCP-2065-1 instances. All instances made immediate attempts to subdue and consume staff, but were rendered incapable of motion by the response team. All remains were then incinerated, and the containment procedures for SCP-2065-1 instances have been updated to reflect this incident. Footnotes 1. Several similarities to the Atkins Diet were found, including several pages which appear to be directly lifted from literature on that subject. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2065" by Doctor Cimmerian, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2066 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2066 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2066 is currently contained in a standard humanoid containment chamber constructed at its original discovery location in Greenland, ██.██° N, ██.██° W. This cell is equipped with video surveillance equipment to confirm SCP-2066's continued presence;1 however, as SCP-2066 has not displayed unusual strength or intelligence, escape is considered unlikely. Containment efforts are to focus on preventing civilian access to SCP-2066's area of effect, defined as a circle of radius four kilometers centered on the containment chamber. In the event that any persons enter the area of effect, they must be taken into custody and monitored for symptoms of SCP-2066-1 conversion for a minimum of one week. Any instances of SCP-2066-1 must be terminated at the earliest opportunity. Subjects not displaying symptoms may be released pending administration of class-C amnestics. Description: SCP-2066 is a humanoid entity 1.6 meters in height, with proportions approximating those of an adult male, though notably lacking a head. The entity does not appear to possess internal organs or clearly-defined skeletal structure; rather, it is composed entirely of an unidentified tar-like substance with a mottled surface. SCP-2066 remains visible regardless of any obstructions between itself and the observer, including fog, solid walls, terrain formations, or the viewer's eyelids. After viewing SCP-2066 from close range,2 subjects' visual perception of SCP-2066 will diverge from its actual location. When turning their head to face away from SCP-2066, these subjects report that the entity reappears at a new location, causing it to remain visible at all times. Any subjects experiencing this secondary effect are designated SCP-2066-1. Discovery: SCP-2066 was discovered by climatologists T████ N█████ and E███ F████ while conducting research on the Greenland ice sheet. Both witnesses fled the area before being affected by the object's secondary properties. N█████ proceeded to submit video of the anomaly to several news organizations, where it came to the attention of Foundation operatives. Class-C amnestics were administered to all non-Foundation personnel aware of the incident. A containment team stationed at outpost GRL-12 was successful in containing the anomaly; however, all members of the containment team came under the influence of the entity's secondary effects. Each instance of SCP-2066-1 was monitored in individual holding cells and interviewed daily. Subjects -2, -5, and -7 attempted to hide symptoms, -4 refused to speak with interviewers, and -1 and -3 provided only minimal details. The most informative interviews were with SCP-2066-1-6 (formerly containment specialist M██████ T███), and are reproduced below. Interview log 2066-L-1 (Day 1) – hide block Interviewed: SCP-2066-1-6 Interviewer: Dr. V██████ Foreword: Interview was conducted on the same day as the containment mission. <Begin Log> Dr. V██████: Good evening M██████.3 I'd like to ask you some questions about the events of the containment mission. SCP-2066-1-6: I know the protocol. Ask away. Dr. V██████: You were in command of the containment mission, correct? SCP-2066-1-6: That's right. Dr. V██████: At what point did you first notice the object's secondary effects? SCP-2066-1-6: I think we were maybe 200 meters away. Once we realized everyone was seeing it in different directions, we thought it might be a defense mechanism, like it was trying to keep us from finding it. The cameras still showed it in the original location, so we figured they weren't affected. It's real awkward work, trying to build around something you can only see through a camera, but the thing doesn't walk very fast. Of course, our theory was wrong. If it was a defense mechanism, the effect should've stopped after we left. It never went away, though. I can still see it, just over your shoulder. Dr. V██████: Could you describe its behavior? SCP-2066-1-6: There's not much to describe. Mostly it just stands there. Except when I look directly at it, that really seems to get its attention. Then it starts coming towards me. I try not to look at it. Dr. V██████: Thank you, that will be all for now. <End Log> Researcher's note: Several instances of SCP-2066-1 later reported difficulty sleeping due to the constant visibility of SCP-2066. Sleep was induced with medication; higher than the recommended dosage was required. Interview log 2066-L-2 (Day 2) – hide block Interviewed: SCP-2066-1-6 Interviewer: Dr. V██████ Foreword: SCP-2066-1-6 voluntarily requested an interview to report additional symptoms. <Begin Log> Dr. V██████: Hello again, M██████. You said you had a new development to report? SCP-2066-1-6: Yes. Breakfast was terrible. Dr. V██████: Pardon? SCP-2066-1-6: That's just the thing, normally I love pancakes. But today, I couldn't taste a damn thing. Couldn't smell it either. It was just kind of a wet - sorry, is there someone behind me? [SCP-2066-1-6 turns to look directly at researcher J████, who was observing the interview through one-way glass. J████ was not visible from the interview room.] SCP-2066-1-6: Nevermind. Anyway, it could just be a cold, but my nose isn't stuffy. Dr. V██████: I'll make a note of it. Has there been any change in SCP-2066? SCP-2066-1-6: It's only 100 meters or so out now, but otherwise, no change. Dr. V██████: All right, thank you for your time. <End Log> Interview log 2066-L-3 (Day 3) – hide block Interviewed: SCP-2066-1-6 Interviewer: Dr. V██████ Foreword: SCP-2066-1-6 reported additional symptoms, which were confirmed by the outpost medical team. An interview was conducted to obtain additional information about the progression of the condition. <Begin Log> Dr. V██████: Hello M██████. Could you describe your symptoms again, for the record? SCP-2066-1-6: What? Dr. V██████: Please repeat what you told me earlier. SCP-2066-1-6: Oh, right. I can't really see much any more, everything is getting kind of dim and… smeary, I guess? It's like there's some kind of dark smoke in the air. It's getting thicker all the time. Of course, I can still see that thing through the smoke. It's the only thing I can see clearly. And my hearing is getting muffled too. I don't think I'll be able to hear you much longer. That's not the weirdest part, though. I can feel this sort of sharpness around me. Not sharp like a knife, sharp like a really focused image. I think it's when people look at me. Dr. V██████: Would you prefer not to be observed? SCP-2066-1-6: No, no-no-no. It's actually quite pleasant. Kind of warm, and… warm and bright. Once my vision goes completely, it's about all I'll have to focus on. Well, other than that headless thing. It's getting harder not to look at it. It's about 50 meters out now. I could use any distraction I can get. Dr. V██████: I'll see what we can do. Thank you for your cooperation. SCP-2066-1-6: Doctor? Dr. V██████: Yes? SCP-2066-1-6: How are the others holding up? Dr. V██████: I'm afraid I can't divulge that information. SCP-2066-1-6: Right. Yeah. Protocol. <End Log> Interview log 2066-L-4 (Day 4) – hide block Interviewed: SCP-2066-1-6 Interviewer: Dr. V██████ Foreword: All instances of SCP-2066-1 were given an accelerated course in braille so that communication could continue. Dr. V██████ posed questions using a braille typewriter. <Begin Log> Dr. V██████: 2066-1-6, has there been any change in your condition? SCP-2066-1-6: Figured they'd get around to it eventually. What, I don't get number one for being the team lead? Dr. V██████: 2066-1-6, the designations were assigned alphabetically. SCP-2066-1-6: I know. Just trying to add some levity to the situation. Dr. V██████: Please try to remain on topic. SCP-2066-1-6: [continues without reading the previous line] I mean, goddamnit, why am I trying to be so calm and professional all the time? Like this is no big deal? Who am I trying to impress? It's not like it would mean anything if you fired me now. In a few hours you could probably use literal fire and I'm not sure I'd even feel it. We both know exactly what's going on here. We're all anomalies now, and you're just milking us for as much information as you can before it's bullet-to-the-head time. Dr. V██████: We are doing everything we can to find a cure for your condition. SCP-2066-1-6: Everything you can. Yeah, I've worked here long enough to know what that means. [Subject stands up and walks to the side of the room, then proceeds to punch the wall, causing fractures of the second and third proximal phalanges. Subject does not appear to notice the injury.] SCP-2066-1-6: [Still facing the wall] If you want info, here's all I can tell you: I can't see, I can't hear, I can't taste or smell, I barely felt the wall just now. All I can sense is that thing standing in front of me, and that weird twang when people look in my direction. I think I can feel them from all over the outpost now. Dr. V██████: [Spoken] I don't think we'll get anything else from this one. This interview is concluded. <End Log> Incident log 2066-I-1 – hide block Foreword: Between 13:47 and 15:19 2/18/20██, all instances of SCP-2066-1 were observed to move to the southwest corners of their cells. Analysis indicates that all were facing directly towards Nuuk, the largest settlement in Greenland. <Begin Log> [14:48] SCP-2066-1-6: I don't know what that is, but it's bright. Bright and crisp and warm and sharp and bright and moving and alive. [Subject remains silent for two hours] [16:51] SCP-2066-1-6: I can't keep from looking at that ugly thing now. It's right in front of me. It's right in front of me. <End Log> Beginning at 16:52, instances of SCP-2066-1 began displaying physical abnormalities. [16:52] Skin begins to darken and toughen. Subjects appear to have reduced flexibility. [17:26] Sensory organs begin to shrivel and recede into the head. Hair begins falling out. [18:40] Skin is now indistinguishable from SCP-2066. Head and neck begin receding into torso. Given the danger to personnel at Outpost GRL-12 if SCP-2066-1 instances begin displaying the properties of SCP-2066, and the added risk of containing multiple instances off-site, I recommend that all instances be terminated. - Dr. V██████ Termination is authorized.

SCP-2067 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2067 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2067 is currently inactive and contained in a concrete-lined steel chamber at Site-88. The chamber has a single entrance that is seamless when closed and only opens from the outside. Conditions that would cause SCP-2067 to enter an active state include the existence of an Iranian leader who has taken the title of Shah, and that this Shah is located within the political boundaries of Iran. Containment is thus predicated on the continuation of Iran's Islamic republic. If a Shah potentially comes to power at some point, Foundation personnel are not permitted to approach this Shah or SCP-2067. SCP-2067 is still actively sought by the ORIA; knowledge of its location is therefore limited to Level 3 personnel and higher. Testing is neither permitted nor presently possible. Description: SCP-2067 is an animate non-sapient weapon dating back to the 16th century. It is composed of three sections: a solid mass of cloth wound in the fashion of a turban, 26 centimeters in diameter; a white cloth sheet, about 70 centimeters in length; and a 51 centimeter scimitar blade with an ivory-covered tang. The cloth sheet is joined to the underside of the turban and hangs in the fashion of a robe with an opening at the front. The blade is attached to the end of an ivory chain, roughly one meter long, extending downward from the inside of the turban. The scimitar's curved steel blade has an unusually sharp cutting edge. During periods of inactivity, SCP-2067 hovers at an altitude of 1.9 meters, with its scimitar hanging freely. While inactive it can be moved by hand without provoking a reaction, though it will return to its normal altitude if it is raised or lowered. SCP-2067 has been noted to infrequently scratch short lines from the Quran upon the walls of its containment chamber. SCP-2067 was recovered from the possession of the Office For The Reclamation of Islamic Artifacts in 2005 following the February 22nd earthquake in Zarand. It was apparently designed by an unknown artisan around 1550 CE to serve as an autonomous defense drone for Shah Tahmasp I of Iran. Historical records recovered with SCP-2067 have noted that the creation of the artifact was neither requested by the Shah nor was its presence desired. From these historical records, SCP-2067 is described as having been able to sense the location, health and safety of the current Shah. If SCP-2067 sensed that the Shah was being attacked or was otherwise in danger, it would enter an active state. Characterized as overzealous in its defense, the white cloth of its turban would turn into black cloth, and it would wield its scimitar "with the motions of a cobra" to dismember any perceived threat to the Shah within its reach. While active it could move laterally at a top speed of roughly 1.5 meters per second. SCP-2067 could not accurately distinguish between allies and enemies. When it was introduced to Tahmasp I, it severed the hands of a man standing by him and the entire right arm of a soldier nearby. It then hovered beside the Shah, preventing anyone from coming close. By Tahmasp I's order and with reportedly great difficulty on the part of his men, SCP-2067 was sealed in a cave, where it largely remained until the ORIA captured it in 1980 and contained it at their facility in Kerman Province. The artisan responsible for creating SCP-2067 was imprisoned after his initial presentation of the artifact to Tahmasp I; however, no records as to his death exist. Records indicate that each Shah between 1550 and 1980 knew of the existence of SCP-2067. Throughout that period, it was intentionally released by order of the Shah six times. Most notably, SCP-2067 was released by Fath-Ali Shah Qajar in 1813, for whom it prevented an assassination attempt, and by Nader Shah in 1747, for whom it did not. At least 90 total casualties resulted from the six incidents. It seems that SCP-2067 was never destroyed because, although it is not organic, it was considered successful takwin — artificial life created with alchemy — and that to destroy it was believed to be an unholy act. During the Iranian Revolution of 1979, Mohammed Reza Shah ordered that SCP-2067 be released to defend him. SCP-2067 had already entered an active state, however, and is known to have dismembered at least sixteen revolutionaries as it attempted to reach Mohammed Reza on a straight-line path. It became inactive again when the Shah was exiled and left the country. Since the Revolution, Iran has not had a Shah, and thus SCP-2067 remains inactive for the time being. More recent documentation has linked the unknown artisan with an elderly Tehranian man recovered by ORIA in 2012. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2067" by DrBerggren, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2068 | keter | We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators. Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. What we are giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence. Moloch. Moloch. by Kothardarastrix Original Document Initial Containment Breach Revision 1 Abnormal Pathology Revision 2 Communication Attempt Item#: 2068 Level1 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2068 is currently contained at Site-15. No audiovisual equipment is to be brought within 20 meters of SCP-2068 unless approved for testing. SCP-2068 when discovered. Description: SCP-2068 is an oil pump jack manufactured by Kervier International. It does not include a rod or any underground components. Internal imaging indicates that the object's internal components are likely identical to its non-anomalous equivalents, but it has thus far proven impossible to disassemble. When a device capable of producing audio or video output is brought within 20 meters of SCP-2068, it will begin to play media related to armed conflicts in the Middle East or war in general. Video devices will usually display news broadcasts or political speeches; audio devices typically play music with an antiwar message. This continues until the device leaves the radius of effect. Devices capable of recording audio or video receive similar media instead of normal input. Addendum 2068-1: Origin The first documented encounter with SCP-2068 occurred during Operation Desert Storm, when it was discovered by United States soldiers in an Iraqi oil field. The United States Paranatural War Command ("PENTAGRAM") subsequently seized the object. In 1998, it was determined to have no strategic or economic value and traded to the Foundation in exchange for information about the ASCI facility that preceded Area-14. PENTAGRAM representatives stated that the object was initially seized in hopes that its anomalous properties pertained to oil production. As there were no security cameras near SCP-2068's containment chamber, no direct record of this event exists. The timeline below has been assembled from eyewitness reports and post-event forensics. Three research personnel (Researcher H██████, Researcher M█████, and Research Assistant W█████) are attempting to disassemble SCP-2068. At approximately 17:30, SCP-2068 spontaneously activates, despite the lack of a power source. H██████'s hand is caught in the crank. He manages to withdraw it before it is crushed but suffers a severe laceration. M█████ stands up and collides with the horsehead, injuring her scalp. Crude oil begins to appear beneath the horsehead and spread across the floor. W█████ slips in the oil and falls, lightly abrading the palms of both hands. All three personnel retreat into the hallway and close the chamber behind them. W█████ acquires a nearby first aid kit and begins treating H██████'s injury. M█████ runs down the hallway and begins shouting for a security officer. The PA system speaker nearest SCP-2068's containment chamber vocalizes the phrase "Die for oil, sucker."1 At the same time, W█████ suddenly vomits a large amount of oil onto H██████ and collapses. H██████ panics and attempts to flee. Suspecting a contagious hazard, M█████ attempts to restrain H██████ before he spreads it to the rest of the Site. She successfully convinces him not to flee, but becomes covered in oil during the struggle. Two security officers, having heard the commotion, round a corner in the hallway and start to approach. M█████ shouts at them, warning of a possible contagion. The officers attempt to radio for help, but their radios produce music2 instead. One officer retreats until he is out of SCP-2068's new apparent range to call for help. The other remains at the end of the hallway and instructs H██████ and M█████ to remain calm. H██████ begins vomiting oil. M█████ reaches toward her head injury, notices the oil on her hand, and stops. H██████ falls unconscious. Blood from M█████'s head injury runs onto her face. She wipes it off and notices that it has turned black. She faints. All oil produced by SCP-2068 during this event was collected and incinerated at high temperature to ensure complete combustion. All three personnel were found to be deceased and, after examination, also incinerated. SCP-2068 was subsequently transferred to Armed Bio-Containment Area-14, as that facility was better equipped to handle contagious anomalies. Item#: 2068 Level3 Containment Class: euclid Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: caution link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2068 is currently contained at Armed Bio-Containment Area-14. No audiovisual equipment is to be brought within 50 meters of SCP-2068 unless approved for testing. SCP-2068's containment chamber includes four grated drains, each 0.25 meters in diameter, to facilitate the drainage of SCP-2068-A into the blast furnace below the chamber. All SCP-2068-A is to be immediately incinerated. Personnel exposed to SCP-2068-A are to be placed under quarantine if possible, or terminated otherwise. Personnel responding to an SCP-2068 breach are to be equipped with MOPP-4 gear. Only D-Class personnel are permitted to enter SCP-2068's containment chamber at this time. They are to be equipped with protective gear unless infection is intended. SCP-2068 containment staff are to monitor news of armed conflicts in Iraq and neighboring countries. Area-14 is to be placed on high alert during large battles, major announcements from involved parties, or the commission of massacres and other large-scale atrocities. A sample of SCP-2068-A. Description: SCP-2068 is an oil pump jack manufactured by Kervier International. It does not include a rod or any underground components. Internal imaging indicates that the object's internal components are likely identical to its non-anomalous equivalents, but it has thus far proven impossible to disassemble. The object does not require power to operate, and frequently activates without any apparent external stimulus. When active, SCP-2068 performs its typical pumping motion at a varying speed. This causes SCP-2068-A to appear beneath the horsehead, at a rate that varies linearly with the speed of the pumping motion. SCP-2068-A is chemically identical to non-anomalous crude oil. When a device capable of producing audio or video output is brought within 50 meters of SCP-2068, it will begin to play media related to armed conflicts in the Middle East or war in general. Video devices will usually display news broadcasts or political speeches; audio devices typically play music with an antiwar message. This continues until the device leaves the radius of effect. Devices capable of recording audio or video receive similar media instead of normal input. If liquid SCP-2068-A enters the bloodstream - typically through an open wound - it will begin to transmute the host's blood into more SCP-2068-A. Affected subjects begin to violently purge SCP-2068-A from multiple orifices, posing a significant infection risk. Death usually occurs within 20 minutes of exposure, due to poisoning, shock, or organ damage. Addendum 2: Activation Events SCP-2068's first activation event occurred at 17:34 on March 19th, 2003. The object was initially assumed to be acting in self-defense, as personnel were attempting to disassemble it at the time. However, most subsequent events occurred without any apparent prompting. Holistic analysis eventually determined that the actual activation trigger was violence in the state of Iraq; the first event had occurred simultaneously with the start of the US invasion, and the others with major battles, bombings, and other violent occurrences. Activation events are expected to become significantly less common or cease entirely with the final withdrawal of US troops on December 18th, 2011. The worst SCP-2068 breach to date3 occurred on August 3rd, 2014, at the start of the Sinjar Massacre. The breach was eventually halted by Janitorial and Maintenance Co-Head Micah Wegley, who climbed into the unlit blast furnace and unclogged the tar-filled drains from below with a broom handle. In the process, he suffered severe burns and became infected with SCP-2068-A. For reasons unknown, the infection has been considerably less aggressive than usual, only transmuting his blood at approximately the same rate the oil is cleared from his system. The concentration of oil in Mr. Wegley's body is not high enough to be fatally poisonous, but he does suffer from fatigue, headache, memory problems, muscle and joint pain, diarrhea, and indigestion. The exact pathology of these symptoms remains unclear, but a similarity to Gulf War syndrome has been noted.4 The trace amounts of SCP-2068-A in Mr. Wegley's blood are still sufficient to infect others, as indicated by testing with live blood samples. In all cases, uninfected blood exposed to Wegley's underwent rapid and total transmutation in keeping with typical pathology. Wegley has therefore been demoted to Class E and placed under quarantine until a means of purging SCP-2068-A from his system is discovered. Mr. Wegley was in a delirious state and speaking incoherently when first discovered by medical personnel. Attending doctors recorded the following statements before he lost consciousness: We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.5 Major combat operations in Iraq have ended.6 What we are giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence.7 Twelve. Eighteen. We will stop al-Qaeda.8 Moloch. Moloch. Moloch. Item#: 2068 Level4 Containment Class: keter Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: danger link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2068's containment vault is situated at the end of a 100 meter hallway extending eastward from the Heavy Containment Zone of Armed Bio-Containment Area-14. There is a security checkpoint at the west end of the hallway, within section N2; this station is to be manned by no fewer than four security officers at one time. From this checkpoint, the hallway can be accessed through a secure airlock. There is an identical airlock at the east end. No electronic devices are to be brought beyond the checkpoint. The containment vault itself is shielded with a blast door and lined with heat-resistant steel plates; the metal lining also functions as a Faraday cage. The vault is to remain filled with deoxygenated air and kept at 200 kPa pressure, to prevent combustion or the escape of gasses from within. Any increase in pressure is considered a breach of containment. The vault is to be monitored visually from the checkpoint; this is accomplished by a series of lenses and mirrors, as cameras are prohibited beyond the airlock. Natural gas detectors are to be installed throughout section N2. These detectors are to be inspected monthly to ensure proper function. If gas is detected outside the containment vault, Area-14 personnel are to prepare for a containment breach. SCP-2068 is encircled by a large grated drain 1 meter wide, to facilitate the drainage of SCP-2068-A into the blast furnace below the chamber. The sides of this drain include electric heating elements, so that viscous forms of SCP-2068-A may be heated to flow more easily. All SCP-2068-A is to be immediately incinerated. The water sprinklers in section N2 have been replaced with dry chemical fire suppression systems. In the event of an SCP-2068 breach, all personnel within section N2 at the time are to don respiratory protection and shelter in a sealed environment, such as a quarantine suite or unused containment chamber. No samples of SCP-2068-A are to be removed from the containment chamber. If any device within Area-14 begins to unexpectedly play media related to military conflict, personnel are to prepare for a containment breach. Description: SCP-2068 is an oil pump jack manufactured by Kervier International. It does not include a rod or any underground components. Internal imaging indicates that the object's internal components are likely identical to its non-anomalous equivalents, but its apparent indestructibility has thus far prevented disassembly or detailed examination. The object does not require power to operate, and frequently activates without any apparent external stimulus. When active, SCP-2068 performs its typical pumping motion at a varying speed. This causes crude oil (classified as SCP-2068-A) to appear beneath the horsehead, at a rate that varies linearly with the speed of the pumping motion. The source of this oil, if any, is unknown, as is any upper limit to production that may exist. SCP-2068-A may take the form of any naturally-occurring variety of petroleum, including tar and natural gas. Flammable forms of SCP-2068-A will sometimes spontaneously combust. All forms of SCP-2068-A are chemically identical to non-anomalous petroleum. If liquid SCP-2068-A enters the bloodstream - typically through an open wound or inhalation of unburned aerosol droplets in smoke - it will begin to transmute the host's blood into more SCP-2068-A. Affected subjects begin to violently purge SCP-2068-A from multiple orifices, posing a significant infection risk. Death usually occurs within 20 minutes of activation, due to poisoning, shock, organ damage, or spontaneous combustion. SCP-2068 seemed to exhibit intelligent planning capability during the August 2014 breach. Attempts to communicate with the object through affected electronics have been unsuccessful. On September 11th, 2014, Mr. Wegley became agitated and began to suffer heightened symptoms. He claimed that he could "feel the pump thinking," and that it "wanted to talk to [Director MacLean]." The Director proceeded to the observation chamber outside Mr. Wegley's quarantine suite and spoke to him through the glass partition. Anticipating equipment failures, Researcher Lee Roy Carlson accompanied the Director to transcribe his conversation. <begin log> [MacLean and Carlson are seated on one side of the partition. Wegley sits on the other, sweating profusely.] [Carlson places his tape recorder on the desk and turns it on, in order to detect SCP-2068 activation.] MacLean: Okay, Mike, we're here. What does 2068 want to tell us? [Wegley rubs his head and groans.] Wegley: Uhh, I don't know, Tom. I don't think it thinks like we do. I can feel it, sort of, but it doesn't have a voice. MacLean: How does it expect to talk to me, then? Wegley: I'm just a…translator, I think. It needs a voice. Something with speakers and a screen. MacLean: Lee, go find a voice. Carlson: I- MacLean: Do it. Carlson: Yes, sir. [Carlson leaves. He forgets the tape recorder, which remains on and captures the next portion of the conversation.] [MacLean and Wegley sit in silence. Wegley refuses to make eye contact.] MacLean: They're going to give you a Foundation Star. [silence] Wegley: Thought those were strictly posthumous. [silence] Wegley: 500 could do it. MacLean: We don't know that. Wegley: We could find out. I know we have one here, for emergencies. [silence] MacLean: The Council would have to approve that. Wegley: Right. [Wegley hangs his head.] MacLean: Maybe if I- Wegley: Save it, Tom. I'd rather have the Star than a lie. [silence] [Researcher Carlson returns, carrying a computer monitor.] Carlson: Will this work? [Wegley nods. He opens his mouth to say something. Instead, he cries out in pain and doubles over, clutching his stomach. His teeth are gritted and his eyes tightly closed.] [The monitor powers on, despite being unplugged, and Carlson quickly places it on the desk. It displays only static. The tape recorder is unaffected.] [The static resolves into what appears to be footage of George W. Bush's January 10th, 2007 address to the nation. When Bush speaks, Wegley silently mouths along.] still frame Bush: My fellow Americans. [Bush opens his arms, as if for a hug, and smiles] MacLean: I'm Irish. [Bush laughs] MacLean: What do you want? Bush: I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace. MacLean: What? Bush: There— it's— you know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror. [MacLean crosses his arms.] MacLean: So you're just gonna throw Bushisms at me? Is that all you called me down here for? Is that why you did this to Micah? Bush: I'm the commander, see. I don't need to explain—I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the President. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation. MacLean: You owe me. You owe Micah. You owe the two hundred people you burned alive last month! [Bush laughs, then grunts and clutches his head. For 45 seconds, he sways slowly from side to side. The sound of helicopter rotors is faintly audible.] MacLean: I've had enou- Bush: WELCOME TO MY HANGING! [The view of Bush's office is replaced by a series of video clips. Audio from George W. Bush's infamous "Mission Accomplished" speech plays over the footage.] In this battle, we have fought for the cause of liberty and for the peace of the world. [a news story of the CIA-sponsored 1953 Iranian coup d'etat, which overthrew the democratic government and reinstated the monarchy] Our nation and our coalition are proud of this accomplishment. [a prisoner being waterboarded by masked interrogators, presumably in the Guantanamo Bay detention facility] Yet it is you, the members of the United States military, who achieved it. [Thaer Thabet's famous video of the Haditha massacre's aftermath] Your courage, your willingness to face danger for your country and for each other made this day possible. [a cloud of nerve gas engulfs a wave of child soldiers in the Iran-Iraq war, both sides of which were supported by the United States] Because of you our nation is more secure. [footage of the oil fields in Kuwait, set ablaze by retreating Iraqi forces in the Gulf War] still frame Because of you the tyrant has fallen and Iraq is free. [a line of prisoners being beheaded by Islamic State fighters] Thank you for serving our country and our cause. [Video reverts to Bush's office, which is now on fire. Bush burns but is not consumed.] I'm telling you there's an enemy that would like to attack America, Americans, again. There just is. That's the reality of the world. And I wish him all the very best. MacLean: Do you even know where the Hell you are? We're not the US government! Bush: This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mental losses. MacLean: The Foundation had nothing to do with that war. Nobody you've killed did. [For 21 seconds, Bush rapidly shakes his head. The sound of a large vehicle's engine is audible until he speaks again.] Bush: See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction. [The footage becomes overlaid with an image of General George Bowe shaking hands with O5-█.] Bush: Weapons of mass destruction. [footage of Mobile Task Force █████-█ ("█████████ ███") and SCP-███-█ battling ORIA soldiers in Iraq] Bush: Weapons of mass destruction. [O5-██ speaking before the US Senate in support of the PATRIOT Act] MacLean: The Bowe Commission is history. We don't- [The monitor briefly produces the extremely loud sound of machine gun fire.] Bush: I think we agree, the past is over. But our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we. [MacLean stands] MacLean: Alright, I get it. You said your piece. Now let Micah go. [Bush sighs and leans heavily on the podium.] Bush: See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda. MacLean: What do you want, a formal apology? Reparations? A letter from the bloody president? [A laugh track plays from the monitor. Bush shakes his head.] Bush: You misunderestimate me. MacLean: What? [Bush grins. His teeth are bullets.] Bush: Now watch this drive. [Wegley screams and falls from his chair.] Wegley: GET DOWN! IT'S G- [Wegley explodes] <end log> It is now known that Mr. Wegley had been emitting natural gas since he became infected. The gas built up over the twenty days of Wegley's confinement to the sealed quarantine suite, then exploded when he spontaneously combusted. Fortunately, Area-14's quarantine suites are strongly fortified to contain patients with anomalous capabilities. Due to these fortifications and Director MacLean's quick response - tackling Researcher Carlson to the ground, to place them both below the level of the window - both men survived the explosion and are expected to make full recoveries. A third revision of SCP-2068's containment procedures is being drafted. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2068" by Kothardarastrix, from the SCP Wiki.

Transcripts and data extracted from SCP-2069 instances are available through the Foundation research database and direct access to SCP-2069 instances may be granted with permission from at least one (1) Level 3 Senior Researcher. Description: SCP-2069 is a collection of 2,308 inert objects of presumed extradimensional origin that were discovered washed up on the shore of [REDACTED], Australia during a period of eleven months between 2000-04-08 and 2001-03-02. Mobile Task Force Sigma-8 ("Beachcombers") was mobilized and assigned to recover objects suspected to be instances of SCP-2069; the occurrence of such objects increased in regularity before suddenly dropping off at the end of February 2001. MTF Sigma-8 was eventually demobilized and disbanded on 2002-09-01, eighteen months after the last confirmed recovery of a SCP-2069 instance. A full catalog of confirmed instances of SCP-2069 is available by request from the central Area-29 database. Addendum 2069-01: Notable Instances of SCP-2069 Item: SCP-2069-3 — SCP-2069-97 Date Recovered: 2000-04-18 — 2000-04-21 Description: Fragments from multiple autonomous tracked drones of unknown, possibly non-human manufacture. Tools attached to drones appear to indicate mining and/or construction as their primary purpose and analysis of similar components suggest that the drones were mass-produced via automated assembly. Damaged components are consistent with having received fire from small arms, explosives, and vehicle-mounted weapons. Item: SCP-2069-198 — SCP-2069-267 Date Recovered: 2000-04-23 — 2000-04-25 Description: Wreckage from a Sikorsky UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter. Analysis of the remains revealed indications of modifications specific to those operated by the Foundation, but serial numbers did not match those in any Foundation registry. Markings on the hull indicate that the aircraft was being operated by an organization named AEGIS. Wreckage is consistent with having crashed due to suffering a catastrophic loss of engine power. Analysis of engine housing shows evidence of high-temperature vaporization consistent with exposure to a focused, high-intensity laser weapon. Item: SCP-2069-466 — SCP-2069-508 Date Recovered: 2000-05-13 — 2000-05-18 Description: Fragments from multiple autonomous hybrid multiped/tracked drones of similar manufacture to SCP-2069-3 — SCP-2069-97. These instances differ in that they appear to be weaponized and feature armored hulls and high-caliber electromagnetic coilguns. Components recovered from these instances also indicate vastly different optics and sensors, focused primarily on acquiring and tracking fast-moving targets as opposed to prospecting and mining. Damage inflicted to these fragments are mostly consistent with military weapons, but a few instances have damage consistent from exposure to [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], experimental weapons developed from 1992-1997 in a joint research program between the Foundation and Global Occult Coalition. Item: SCP-2069-821 — SCP-2069-908 Date Recovered: 2000-05-29 — 2000-06-02 Description: Wreckage of a McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle fighter with markings consistent with those used by Mobile Task Force Sigma-9 ("Valkyries") based in [REDACTED]; however, in place of the standard Foundation markings, the AEGIS emblem is present. Analysis of the wreckage revealed damage consistent with impacts from high-velocity coilgun rounds resulting in structural compromise of the aircraft's starboard wing. Item: SCP-2069-1112 — SCP-2069-1308 Date Recovered: 2000-06-02 — 2000-06-17 Description: Partial wreckage of a Nimitz-class supercarrier believed to have been the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), also commandeered by AEGIS. Analysis indicates that the vessel took multiple non-catastrophic hits from high-caliber air-launched coilgun rounds before taking a catastrophic hit to its stern from a high-intensity laser weapon. Item: SCP-2069-1403 — SCP-2069-1499 Date Recovered: 2001-06-19 — 2001-06-22 Description: Fragments from what appears to be large, autonomous aerial drones of non-human manufacture. Drones are powered by highly advanced engines of similar design to ramjets and are equipped with electromagnetic coilguns as well as high-powered laser turrets. Most notably, several fragments exhibit damage consistent with exposure to SCP-███ or weapons derived from the same. Item: SCP-2069-2088 Date Recovered: 2001-02-27 Description: Damaged remains of a Foundation-standard field-issue laptop computer. Unit is water damaged and unusable, but hard drive was recovered intact. Research Team Note: See Addendum 2069-02 for transcripts of recovered data. Item: SCP-2069-2283 — SCP-2069-2308 Date Recovered: 2001-02-28 — 2001-03-02 Description: Wreckage of a Boeing E-3 Sentry airborne early warning & control aircraft. Recovered data from aircraft appears to indicate that the aircraft was originally operated by the Global Occult Coalition before being re-purposed by unknown organization AEGIS. Wreckage appears to have been partially melted as a result of exposure to a high-energy event of unknown origin and power. Research Team Note: See Addendum 2069-03 for transcripts of recovered flight recorder data. Addendum 2069-02: Data Recovered from SCP-2069-2088 Transcript of Recorded Video Fragment — 2000-01-02 09:01:18 US-Eastern (Unknown Female Announcer): […] from SETI have confirmed the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. According to the official statement, long-range telescopes detected multiple bright emissions on the morning of New Year's Day, what is now believed to be high-energy engine exhaust from a dozen large objects on the edge of our solar system. The statement indicates that these objects are traveling at tremendous speed but rapidly slowing down in a way that suggests they are trying to head straight for us. (Unknown Scientist): At this time, we believe that these are interstellar vessels of unknown origin en route to our solar system. From our observations so far, we know that there are at least a dozen of them and they are of a size and mass that would indicate that they are not any kind of deep-space probe.

New data released by SETI and NASA indicate that these objects were originally traveling at a speed close to twenty percent the speed of light, a rate that would imply tremendous technological power and capability. According to these calculations, with the deceleration rate of the ships, they could be in Earth orbit within another six weeks.

Godspeed. [end of transcript] Recovered Document February 27, 2001 I can't sleep, so fuck it, I'm typing this out because I have nothing better to do. If by some miracle we survive the night, maybe someday some kid or something will want to read this. If we don't, then I guess it doesn't matter. Where to start? The fuckers hit us first, and they hit us hard. Apparently they'd launched the relativistic kill vehicles before they started slowing down. It just so happened that their engine emissions were so bright that they blinded our telescopes to the slugs, which were probably painted black and super-cooled anyways. They staggered the slugs so that they hit over the course of about sixteen hours, which was just long enough for the planet to turn and present all of our cities right at them. By the time we noticed them coming, it was already too late; before we could warn anyone, New York was already a ninety-megaton crater. I think they were targeting people, just trying to wipe out as many of us as they could. Maybe they didn't have enough rounds or mass, or maybe they didn't quite get how we work. Either way, it's the only way we managed to get our shit together, because most of our major sites and a couple of other bases like NORAD managed to stay in one piece. Of course, that wasn't much consolation at the time with half the human population dead or dying. With most of the civilian governments wiped out or crippled, the only big players left were us and the Coalition. We put out as many fires as we could, then put our heads together and decided the only way any of us were going to get through this was if we joined forces and took over as much of the worldwide military that was left. With only about two months left before the ships got to Earth, we didn't have much time to scrounge together a defense. But we did, and we stockpiled as many weapons as we could in the meantime. We hid in holes as the aliens drew into orbit, and we waited. Maybe they didn't account for our tenacity to live, or maybe they just expected us to turn on each other long before we'd ever manage to unite to fight a bigger threat. Either way, they didn't bother to wipe us out from orbit before they started landing. Of the dozen or so ships that they brought, they landed half of them in Australia — probably the least devastated landmass — and began to set up shop. That's when we struck back. We fired over half of our nuclear arsenal at them, all at once. Almost none of them got through; most of them were shot down by lasers and bullets and god knows what else before they got to their targets, but that was just a distraction anyways. The warheads we had hidden on our satellites vaporized or crippled their ships in orbit while their guns were busy tracking missiles, taking away their high ground. Then we launched every ship, plane, and tank we had at the rest of their grounded ships. It almost worked. We wiped out thousands of the things only to discover that they were all drones. Someone once told me that it was impossible to send humans to the stars because you'd never be able to carry enough food and water for a thousand-year journey and your body would never survive being frozen for that long. The only way we'd ever reach another solar system is if we sent nothing but eggs and embryos and let robots raise our kids when they got there. We'd managed to hit two of their bases and wiped out most of their worker drones when the shit really hit the fan. The robots in charge must have realized that we were a much bigger threat than they'd anticipated, and they started building real war machines out of materials pulled from our own planet. Overnight, we went from fighting bugs and crawlers to spider tanks and gunships. We fought well. We all fought damned well, but we always knew that the aliens were far more advanced than we were and they were playing hardball now. We started taking serious casualties and our air support started running out of missiles and bombs. The brass decided to start using experimental tech and stuff we'd adapted from weaponized skips, but the more resources and reserves we pulled up, the more specialized their drones got at killing us in return. Every day, we lose good men, but the machines just recycle their parts and come back just as strong. Sometime around Thanksgiving, the machines managed to jam our comms; the egg-heads fixed them as quickly as they could, but by the time we pulled our shit out of the fire, Mike and I were the only ones left out of our original squad. By the time Christmas rolled around, we'd been reinforced, but… well, some of the replacements you can barely tell were once human. We managed to break through around the time the new year rolled around and take down another one of their grounded ships, but that's when their aerial hunter-killers started showing up and we had to retreat once more. We're going to push with everything we have left tomorrow. We've never been more desperate; there's rumblings and rumors among the officers that the brass have something really big planned, but I don't even want to know any more, not after I saw what they did to José and Tom after the first time they died. I know we have to win, that there will be nothing left if we fail, but at what cost? — PFC Evan Winters, Mobile Task Force Omega-23 Addendum 2069-03: Data Recovered from SCP-2069-2287 (E-3 Sentry Flight Recorder) [begin transcript] [static] (over radio): [indecipherable] I repeat, all [indecipherable] fall back to minimum safe distance.

SCP-2070 | keter | Item #: SCP-2070 Special Containment Procedures: Due to their apparent omnipresence, containment of SCP-2070-1 and -2 is focused on suppression of knowledge. Disinformation campaigns intended to discredit and/or totally drown out anyone who reports discoveries of SCP-2070-1 and -2 are to be maintained at all times. These campaigns consist of two components: A barrage of variously plausible, but false, claims; Extensive debate regarding these claims which tends to expose the claimants as frauds. Mobile Task Force Eta-121 ("Navel Gazers") is responsible for collecting and subsequently sabotaging all relevant cosmological data as it is acquired. Members of MTF Eta-121 are to report their findings to embedded Foundation agents who have assumed leading roles in modern theoretical and observational cosmology. These agents are responsible for formulating and advocating for the standard cover explanations. Astronomers who persistently report findings inconsistent with said cover explanations are to be administered class-B amnestics and have their research altered to conform to consensus. [SUBMIT LOGIN CREDENTIALS TO CONTINUE: LEVEL 4/2070 CLEARANCE REQUIRED] [CREDENTIALS ACCEPTED] Extraterrestrial activity on Earth is to be monitored for knowledge of SCP-2070-1 and -2. Any confirmation of such knowledge is grounds for implementation of Protocol 167-Tully. SCP-2070-3 is held in Research Bunker-477 at Site-280. Two (2) armed guards are to be posted outside the bunker at all times to prevent unauthorized entry. Requests for study have been suspended until further notice or until Protocol 167-Tully is enacted; in either case, proposals for experiments must be submitted to Site Director Arnheim no fewer than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the requested time. The bunker is to be monitored at all times by one (1) level-4/2070 research staff for anomalous tachyon emission. Any such activity must be reported immediately to Site Director Arnheim and MTF Eta-121 Leader Rose. Following experimentation or report of anomalous emission, MTF Eta-121 Leader Rose is to report back as soon as possible on any shifts in the observed large-scale galaxy distribution. Research Site-79 is to observe the SCP-2070-2 instance in the ████ galaxy cluster following any SCP-2070-3 activity. Description: SCP-2070 is the collective designation for several anomalies related to modern observational cosmology. SCP-2070-1 is the observed tendency of the distribution of galaxies in the universe to be elongated and pointed toward our position on Earth. This tendency manifests itself as extended lines of galaxies resembling arrows. SCP-2070-1 instances are known in the astronomical community as "fingers of God." Public discussion of SCP-2070-1 is to explain them as an effect of galaxies' velocities on observed redshifts on cosmological scales.1 SCP-2070-2 is the observed formation of galaxies into coherent, recognizable pictographs and symbols. Examples of SCP-2070-2 instances include: A stick figure representation of a human being A miniature depiction of the sun and its eight planets, as well as several of the larger Kuiper belt objects and two as-yet unobserved bodies In three instances, characters consistent with Shang-dynasty-era oracle bone script. Rough translations of messages include "WE ARE KINGS", "WE ARE SPECIAL", and "WE ARE THE CENTER" Although instances of SCP-2070-2 are never perfectly formed, they are consistent with their identified shapes to within observational uncertainties. At least one instance of SCP-2070-2 has been identified in each major galaxy cluster, with suspected instances in smaller formations of galaxies pending further data collection. Public discussion of SCP-2070-2 instances is to dismiss them as random formations among meaningless noise, and only instances which could conceivably be disguised as such are to be made available to the public. [SUBMIT LOGIN CREDENTIALS TO CONTINUE: LEVEL 4/2070 CLEARANCE REQUIRED] [CREDENTIALS ACCEPTED] SCP-2070-3 is a hinged box constructed of jade and an unidentified alloy measuring 1.0050 m on each side and 0.335 m tall.2 SCP-2070-3 remains locked by an unknown mechanism under normal circumstances. The top face is covered in symbols that correspond to no known language, as well as a sequence of Shang-dynasty-era script apparently describing the Hubble expansion.3 Touching symbols on the outside of the box that correspond to instances of SCP-2070-2 identified in the ████ galaxy cluster will open the box. The inside contains a layer of sand 4.672 cm deep. Drawing a symbol in this sand and closing SCP-2070-3 will cause three things to happen: The box will emit a directed burst of tachyons.4 The symbol(s) drawn in the sand will manifest as an instance of SCP-2070-2 in a part of space along the direction of the tachyon burst. Instances of SCP-2070-1 in the surrounding region will appear and/or become more pronounced. The instances of SCP-2070-2 in the ████ galaxy cluster will change to correspond to different symbols on SCP-2070-3. How SCP-2070-3 accomplishes this retrocausal reorganization is unknown at this time. Further study of the effects of targeted tachyon emission in general is currently marked as a LEVEL-6 Research Priority. SCP-2070-3 was unearthed during an archeological dig in ████████ Province, China in the year 19██. Its anachronistic markings led to it being stored as an anomalous object in the Site-230 Vault until Level-4/2070 Researcher ██████ identified three of the symbols as matching instances of SCP-2070-2 found in the ████ galaxy cluster. Subsequent experimentation established its anomalous properties and its link to SCP-2070-1 and -2. Document 2070-1: Description of Protocol 167-Tully MEMORANDUM TO ALL SCP-2070 PERSONNEL ██/██/19██ Fellow scientists, Amidst all our data, all our little daily fights with observation and analysis and theory, I think it's easy to lose sight of the fact that science is an unavoidably human endeavor. We defend our conclusions not just because we believe them to be right, but because we want them to be right. Think of how hard physicists in the 20th century worked to keep the luminiferous aether hypothesis alive. Once you have an idea of how reality should be, it can be the hardest thing in the world to overcome. Of course, all of you know the danger of preconceptions. We as a community fought the battle against geocentrism many centuries ago. That fight gave us the Copernican principle: the assumption that there is nothing special about our location in the Universe. The Copernican principle has since become one of the fundamental bases of astronomy. It's so familiar to us that most of you probably never think about it. The ancient Chinese astronomers had never heard of the Copernican principle, and SCP-2070 leads me to believe they had no equivalent. When our culture realized our non-central place in the cosmos, we rebelled against it but suffered the indignity without violent objection and have suffered it ever since. The Shang dynasty took a different approach and altered space itself to restore their special place. Arrows pointing to us, symbols and codes and pictures - the iconography of a people striving towards godhood. But they were not gods, and they did not think through their actions. The ancient astronomers didn't just leave their mark, they left a trail for every being in the universe to follow. They drew maps of our solar system, of the solar neighborhood, even rough sketches of the Milky Way. Any life outside of our own planet is bound to get a little curious about where the arrows are pointing. So far, research on the effects of SCP-2070-3 has been conservative and measured - just enough to establish the link to SCP-2070-1 and -2. As Senior Researcher, I and Site Director Arnheim have sought to keep our hands out of the cosmic web as much as possible. But if we find any reason to believe extraterrestrial life has followed the directions we so kindly left for them, we're going to have to take a more aggressive approach. Outlined below is our joint proposal; as always, feedback is welcome. PROTOCOL 167-TULLY GOAL: To wipe away humans' cosmological footprint. GROUNDS FOR IMPLEMENTATION: Discovery of extraterrestrial knowledge of SCP-2070. DESCRIPTION: Protocol 167-Tully is a plan in two phases. Phase I: Increased experimentation on the functionality of SCP-2070-3. In this Phase, Site Director Arnheim will accept research proposals, which she and Senior Researcher Bryce may choose to approve. Approved proposals will be given LEVEL-7 Research Priority and the acquiring of relevant astronomical data following experiments will be fast-tracked. A successful experiment is one that returns all or part of space to a homogeneous distribution. Phase II: Reverse-engineering of SCP-2070-3 with the goal of building a device capable of undoing SCP-2070-3's effects. As further experimentation with SCP-2070-3 is likely to be impossible following full Phase II execution, Phase II is to be attempted only if Phase I fails to produce favorable results within five (5) years of research. I have no idea what a cosmic restructuring on this scale would entail, and I'm sure none of us are eager to find out - but if it means preventing the end of the world, we have to be willing to try. Senior Researcher Bryce Footnotes 1. In reality, this effect only exacerbates observations of SCP-2070-1. 2. Respectively equivalent to 1 bu and 2 chi, ancient Chinese units of measurement. 3. The observed expansion of the universe. 4. Particles which travel faster than light and therefore backward in time. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2070" by Silmerion, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2071 | safe | Item #: SCP-2071 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2071 is stored in Vault 86 at Site-11. Vault 86 is to be kept at a constant temperature of -10°C. Tests involving SCP-2071 and reptiles require approval from both the current Site Director of Site-11 and the head of SCP-2071 research. Maintenance staff assigned to Site-11’s storage vaults are to be trained in reptile handling in the event of a containment incident, and a stock of snake and amphibian antivenin is to be maintained in Site-11’s medical wing. SCP-2071 may only be transported in a sealed container and by personnel wearing suitable protective clothing to prevent any contact between SCP-2071 and exposed skin. Description: SCP-2071 is a full-length portrait measuring 106cm by 48cm, entitled Sir Michael Cavendish in the Guise of the King of Serpents. The painting is a work in oil paints on canvas, purportedly painted in 1799 by Adam William Jardine as a portrait of English military officer and baronet Michael Cavendish, though it does not appear to be a factual likeness. The painting’s central subject is a male humanoid figure in 18th-Century British military dress seated at a table, facing to the left of the painting, with his right arm resting on the tabletop and holding a cup or goblet, his left arm by his side. The figure is clearly not human, and possesses mottled green skin, scales on portions of the face and hands, eyes with yellow irises and vertically slitted pupils, and no hair. The scene is illuminated by light from a window to the right of the subject, and a second, indistinct humanoid figure is visible standing behind the subject’s right shoulder, obscured by darkness. Skin contact with the painted surface of SCP-2071 is fatal. Through an undetermined process, individuals exposed to SCP-2071 in this fashion begin to produce a number of fast-acting neurotoxins within their own bloodstream, leading rapidly to death by respiratory failure. Examination of toxins found in specimens exposed to SCP-2071 indicate a wide variety of toxins are produced, some of which appear to be the active components of a variety of snake venoms. SCP-2071 causes significant behavioural alterations in any member of the class Reptilia. Reptiles within a certain distance of SCP-2071 will attempt to reach it by any means available to them. The exact distance of this effect is difficult to ascertain accurately and appears to vary over time, but is believed to extend at least 5 kilometres around the painting at all times. Reptiles affected by SCP-2071 will attempt to travel to its location even at the risk of injury. Reptiles affected by SCP-2071 congregate around the painting and largely remain motionless. Reptiles in SCP-2071’s presence do not appear to require food, water, exterior heat sources, or sleep, and despite their lack of movement tend to remain in good physical health. SCP-2071-affected reptiles react violently to attempts to remove them from its presence, though they are otherwise largely nonresponsive. Prolonged exposure to SCP-2071 causes physiological changes in reptiles, usually beginning after several days of continued exposure. Typically, this results in increases in size, and the development of venom glands in non-venomous species. Addendum 2071-1: Abridged test log for SCP-2071: Test 2071-8 Date: ██/██/██ Rationale: Analysis of physical changes in SCP-2071-affected reptiles over long periods of time. Procedure: A single female Green Iguana (Iguana iguana) measuring 1.4m in length was placed in SCP-2071's chamber (cooling of Vault 86 was suspended for the duration of the experiment). The specimen was selected for its size, herbivorous nature, and docility. The iguana was monitored regularly by a qualified herpetologist and veterinarian throughout the experiment. Results: Growth in the specimen was first detected on day 3 of the experiment. By day 4 of the experiment, the specimen had increased to 1.45m in length and had begun to develop venom glands. By day 6, the subject's rate of growth had accelerated - specimen was now 1.6m in length. Growth continued unabated until day 28, by which time the specimen was 3.4m in length. Between day 30 and day 34, the parietal eye of the specimen underwent a significant metamorphosis into a large, seemingly functional lidded eye. On day 47, research staff discovered that the specimen appeared to be carrying eggs. As Site Director Feccini had not sanctioned the reproduction of an anomalous lifeform when the experiment began, he requested that the experiment be halted. The specimen was subsequently euthanised and autopsied. The autopsy revealed that substantial internal modifications had been made to the specimen's reproductive track, allowing it to bear live young. A single foetus was found in the specimen's uterus. This foetus was reptilian, with a humanoid body plan, developed cerebrum, scaled skin, slitted eyes, pointed teeth, and a vestigial tail. The genetic makeup of the foetus did not match the mother, and some sections of its genome closely resembled the human genome. A full report on the biology of both specimen and foetus can be found in document 2071-Padraig. Addendum 2071-2: SCP-2071 is one of 4 known paintings by Adam William Jardine believed by the Foundation to be both currently extant and to possess anomalous properties, and the only one presently in containment. Of the other paintings, The Rood and the Pit (E-456) is believed to be in the possession of the Horizon Initiative, while The Hunting Party (E-459) and Celia Penrose, in the Guise of a Fountain (E-460) are in the possession of an unknown private individual. Jardine was a minor English painter active between 1790 and 1819, when he is believed to have died of tuberculosis. Contemporary sources indicate that Jardine was widely believed to be mentally ill and suffered from visual hallucinations. The portrait is not believed to have had any anomalous properties at the time it was painted. It is unknown when these properties manifested, but SCP-2071 remained unknown to the Foundation until ██/██/1925, when it was recovered after two people died as a result of an attempt to place the painting, along with others, in the public trust in lieu of inheritance tax. Addendum 2071-3: Extracts from the diary of Michael Cavendish: …I have been informed of a painter, a Mr. Jardine, from Northumbria. I am told the man is quite mad, and possessed of visions of a spiritual bent. He claims to be able to see the souls of people both living and dead, and to put his visions down in pencil sketches and oils. His work has been recommended to me by a friend, and by that same friend I have been able to engage this Mr. Jardine in dialogue. In person, Mr. Jardine seemed in rather good humour for a madman. He talked rather sensibly, though he seemed somewhat troubled, as if trying to suppress his nerves, and seldom looked directly at me the whole time. Indeed he seemed so sensible, if somewhat shy, that I began to wonder if the supposed insanity was genuine. But when he showed me his portfolio, I was astounded. Jardine had conjured up a whirl of grotesques and wonders such as would awe anyone living. Despite his obvious talent, he told me that his work sells poorly; I am told that there are few in the country with the discernment to see his work as anything more than a perversity. As such, he was more than happy to offer his services to me upon seeing that I enjoyed his work, provided I provide payment regardless of his own view of the eventual portrait. This I am more than happy to accept. If Jardine is mad or a charlatan, then it will be a wonderful and curious indulgence; if not, then what is more worthy of payment than a glimpse into my own soul? …I promised to pay the man regardless of my own opinion, and pay him I have. That said, my own opinion is less than favourable. The damned painter has rendered me as some sort of hideous freak, a combination of lizard and human. It is beyond what I had envisaged when I commissioned the portrait. It cannot be displayed. If the man has visions, I am now certain that they stem from a disordered mind rather than a divine visitation. I am, at least, convinced that I know enough of my own soul to know that I am no snake, and that this painting is not a reflection even of my principal sins. The more I look at it, the more I believe that the painting is a poor likeness. Disregarding the obvious, the figure in the portrait is too gaunt, and looks far too old to be a true likeness. This was a waste of time and money… In early 1829, Mary Cavendish, wife of Michael Cavendish, was found dead in their home by a servant. The cause was, at the time, believed to be a stroke. Michael Cavendish, by now suffering from an undetermined chronic illness, committed suicide in 1842 by drinking poison, confessing in his suicide note to having murdered his wife. Suggestions that a large number of snakes were found alongside Michael Cavendish’s body are not verifiable. The following is an extract from Michael Cavendish's suicide note: I confess only that the truth might be known. I do not hope to save my soul by atonement. I do not believe in Hell any more. If, all those years ago, that painter saw me, in my youthful vigor, for the bitter, spiteful creature I became, then this was all predestined, and so no just god could damn me. […] I do not take this measure out of guilt. I do it to escape my present purgatory. I hate my current life, but I do not fear death. After all, a snake can slip out of its skin and become young again. If I am the King of Serpents, as that bastard said I was, why shouldn't I do the same? ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2071" by Rioghail, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2072 | safe | Item #: SCP-2072 Special Containment Procedures: At least one Foundation staff member (designated Level 1-SCP-2072 or higher) must be present and armed with a standard-issue sidearm at all times. Access to SCP-2072 is restricted from the general public. Instances of SCP-2072 are to be covered with opaque, waterproof materials at all times. If the covering on instances SCP-2072-8 to SCP-2072-22 is disturbed to the degree that the text on said instances is readable, staff replacing the coverings must be administered amnestics immediately after said replacement. Following the next change in the Prime Ministership of Montenegro, the assigned staff member will exhume the corpse buried beneath SCP-2072-8 and collect a sufficient sample for genetic testing to ensure continued accuracy of SCP-2072. Description: SCP-2072 is the former Garden of Love Pet Memorial Park, located approximately one mile south of ████████, Florida, United States. Upon the discovery of human remains beneath the northeast section of headstones in 1977, Foundation Local Mobile Task Force 352-Lamedh (“Stump Knockers”) seized control of the area to investigate. After discovering that four of the corpses located in the cemetery were genetically identical and buried under the same name, the Foundation opened a Provisional Containment Site on the premises. The full significance of SCP-2072 was not known until June 1991, when a routine check of international political leaders’ genetic records discovered that Prime Minister of Montenegro Milo Đukanović (b. 1962, Prime Minister from 1991–98, 2003–06, 2008–10 and 2012–present [as of 2014-██-██]) was a genetic and name match for the first, third, fifth and seventh corpses located in SCP-2072, whose headstones are designated SCP-2072-1, -3, -5, and -7. The headstones and corpses have correctly reflected the holders of the office of Prime Minister of Montenegro from the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia to the present day. As SCP-2072-8 through SCP-2072-22 potentially represent future Prime Ministers of Montenegro, and SCP-2072-1, -2, -3, -5, -6, -7 and -23 contain dates of death and corpses of still-living political figures, the information in SCP-2072 is to be strictly controlled to prevent potential issues of causality. List of anomalous headstones located in SCP-2072: Designation Name Subtitle Date of Birth Date of Death Notes SCP-2072-1 Milo Đukanović The Smuggler of Nikšić 1962-2-15 ████-██-██* Prime Minister on four non-consecutive occasions, and currently serving as of 2014-██-██.

SCP-2073 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2073 Special Containment Procedures: The current iteration of SCP-2073-A remains contained in a standard Humanoid Containment Cell within the Esoteric Research Sector of Area-08 (Deck 02). Until such a time that SCP-2073-A may produce a biological son, its location and properties will be accessible only to Clearance Level 4 personnel and authorized 2/2073 personnel from Area-08. Should SCP-2073 occur outside Foundation control or SCP-2073-A escape containment, Esoteric Mobile Task Force ϱ-4 ("Red Net") will be warned and deployed immediately to re-instate containment. Description: SCP-2073 is a set of hazardous reality alteration phenomena centered around a humanoid entity, designated SCP-2073-A. SCP-2073 events consist of multiple Localized Reality Shifts, consistently described as: themed (materialization of dark-colored matter forming sinew-like veins on surfaces of baseline reality objects, frequently in recognizable patterns, and the manifestation of mist and clouds of ashes); observable; and non-congruent with pre-existing reality (usually causing moderate to severe damage to nearby structures, due to the emergence of SCP-2073 matter through static surfaces). Witnesses have often compared Localized Reality Shifts to earthquakes with successive replicas that grow in intensity and range. SCP-2073 will occur only if: SCP-2073-A has produced a biological son in previous years.1 SCP-2073-A becomes convinced that SCP-2073 will occur, and that if left unchecked SCP-2073 will trigger an unspecified XK end-of-the-world scenario. Once SCP-2073 manifests, SCP-2073-A will typically seek to commit suicide while in close proximity to its firstborn son. This event, designated "Lullaby Event", occurs between 3 and 10 years after the latter's birth; at this point, its son will become a new, latent instance of SCP-2073-A. If a Lullaby Event is delayed, SCP-2073 will become fully manifest after two to ten hours; SCP-2073 reality alterations at this point will be able to severely damage buildings, alter local seismic activity and/or cause meteorological anomalies (such as the appearance of winds in excess of 50 kph and clouds of ash). Observed progression of the area affected by these Localized Reality Shifts indicates that, if unwilling to or prevented from completing a Lullaby Event for long periods of time, SCP-2073-A will become the focal point of an XK-class end-of-the-world scenario due to the SCP-2073 phenomena. Measures to facilitate or enforce this willingness have been deployed in the current iteration of SCP-2073-A. Addendum SCP-2073-01: Interview with SCP-2073-A-2 and recording of Lullaby Event 2. Foreword: SCP-2073-A-2 (████ ███████ █████ ██████████, construction worker) had been detained by local authorities in ██/██/2008 after his wife (a ██████ ██████████) called the police due to a domestic incident in which SCP-2073-A-2 attempted to gain access to ██████ (first born child of the couple) armed with a knife; Mrs. ██████████ would declare later that SCP-2073-A-2 had behaved erratically and violently on occasion since ██████'s birth. During its detainment, SCP-2073-A-2 repeatedly requested to be brought to ██████ or to have him delivered to its current location. This was denied by police officers for approximately two and a half hours, after which SCP-2073's reality alteration properties became manifest and Foundation field agents from Site-██-████ took over the case, arresting all three family members and establishing preliminary containment in SCP-2073-A-2's current location, a police station of Whispering Pines, IL, with the cover of a potentially hazardous gas leak. An abridged version of the interview between SCP-2073-A-2 and Agent █████ follows. Note that the subject was in a state of exhaustion and agitation. Agent █████: Please, explain why are you here [in detainment]. SCP-2073-A-2: My wife called the police because she thought I was gonna do something bad to little ██████. Because of the knife and all, see. Agent █████: Were you? SCP-2073-A-2: Look, I am not the best father, alright! I have hurt him, hit him, and ██████, too! But that was when I was drunk, and I drink to not think about it. I don't even know how can people stand it, I mean-do you get what I mean? Agent █████: I am afraid not. Please explain. SCP-2073-A-2: Well, we're all going to die, right? (subject momentarily pauses, agitated; resumes conversation by screaming) Right?! Agent █████: Yes, that seems to be the case. SCP-2073-A-2: And we still have children. (subject behaves in a more collected manner) We had'im and we knew-guess we all know we're gonna die and think, oh, little Joe will have a nice life, little Jenny will be happy and have kids, but they all die, don't they? We all die. (subject falls silent) Agent █████: We do. SCP-2073-A-2: (hesitating, agitated) I've been hearing things. I mean, not like I am crazy or something, alright? I've been hearing these voices. Swished things that said this whole shit was coming down. The dreams, too, the things I saw- Agent █████: Please, calm down, ████. Start over when you're ready, there's time. SCP-2073-A-2: Nah, there is no time, not for me anyways. Besides, I wanna let this all out, haven't talked to anybody about it yet… Okay, see, when the kid was born? That night I had a dream. I was holding him in my arms, clutching him and crying. He was dead. Guts spilling from his belly, a little eye plucked out… And everything was filled with black dirt and burnt, and there was smoke and the sky was cold-but you could still see the stars! And- they felt wrong. Out of place, like lined up in rows… I mean, how could the sky just feel out of place? (subject whispers) And there were… okay, like not people, something just a bit like people, all around, whispering that I didn't do it. Agent █████: Do what? SCP-2073-A-2: Do my part. It's always a dream like that, month after month after month and then I see it even when I'm awake; black dirt, the world burnt, ashes and smoke, that goddamned sky and them, just walking around and wailing that I didn't do it. Agent █████: What does your part consist of? SCP-2073-A-2: That I must pass it on. Agent █████: Pass what on? SCP-2073-A-2: Nothing, it's… It's my responsibility, our responsibility. Agent █████: Are you doing this in order to prevent these events from occurring? Have you ever seen anything like this? (Note: Agent refers to the SCP-2073 manifestations taking place at the enclosure; in debriefing, agents and witnesses would describe these events as "dark sinew-like tissue in walls and ceiling, forming cracks displayed in circles and geometrical motifs", this last aspect speculated to be an unknown language.) SCP-2073-A-2: N-no, the walls cracking's new, too… Listen, I have to do it. Agent █████: Do you think you will stop this if you kill yourself? SCP-2073-A-2: No, you don't-you don't get it, it will never stop. Why, why did I bring him into this shithole-(subject stands up and repeatedly steps on a motile tendril of SCP-2073 matter.) They're coming already. Agent █████: Who is? SCP-2073-A-2: You don't see them yet, but they just wanna do their part. And it's either me or everything else. It must happen. Agent █████: How can you know it will work? SCP-2073-A-2: Look, I-I dunno! Do you think that I like this, that I want ██████ to die? I've seen this, I've dreamed this. The damn things (Note: SCP-2073-A-2 may be referring to the entities observed during its dreams) hammered it into me, I guess. For a while, I just didn't want to believe it. I mean, who wants to believe that he has to become a human sacrifice, right? (scoffing, low whimper) But the last months… I know this will happen to my kid too, and I don't really want to… I must. I must do this. Agent █████: Are you certain that you want to? SCP-2073-A-2: Yeah. (subject composes itself) With me out of the picture-Just… just tell ██████ that I love her. That this is what I want. And to be strong, too. She'll have to be for him. (subject exhales heavily) Take me there. Don't all our kids die too, in the end? At least I won't have to hold his corpse. SCP-2073-A-2 taken to the presence of ██████ in an annex to main building of the police station. ██████ remains sedated for the duration of this incident. A new SCP-2073 Localized Reality Shift occurs, causing progressive physical damage to facility. Subject sits by its child (sedated per request of Agent █████) and cradles him, singing a song also recorded in other Lullaby Events. Event recorded as per protocol. ++ Access to Lullaby Event-2. Opening record; your access has been recorded. SCP-2073-A-2: I have seen the world burning. I have seen the world turning. The tipping point is my life- Note: Reportedly, the largest concentrations of SCP-2073 matter begins to generate humanoid protrusions, which crawl towards the containment enclosure occupied by SCP-2073-A-2 and ignore all other present human witnesses. All forms manifested laugh for the duration of the event. SCP-2073-A-2: The father must spill blood over the son. For the curse is bound to the life of the father, and blood is life's coin; since such life is the father's, it is the father that must (sobbing, audible rumbling in background) pass his blood to the son. A life (sobbing) for all things, a worthy bargain. So receive this my bound, my child, and be anointed with this mourning life. (quiet crying interspersed with a faint cracking sound; laughter is heard over the voice of SCP-2073-A-2) I love you. Note: Variations on the last sentence have been encountered, but all the recorded subjects have sung this "lullaby" before completing the event. SCP-2073-A-2 commits suicide. SCP-2073 ceases, baseline reality re-asserts itself. Foundation observers report that SCP-2073-A-2's blood spills directly over its child's face, turning into a black organic substance (Note: later confirmed to be human serum, extremely thickened with ashes.) upon contact; subject wakes up at this point and is subdued by agents. ██████ is taken into custody and preemptively classified SCP-2073-A-3. Administrative Order ██-███-████-█: Only Authorized Personnel. ++ File sealed as per Administrative Order ██-███-████. Continue only if authorized by Level 5/Global personnel. –– File sealed as per Administrative Order ██-███-████. Personnel identified and cleared. BE ADVISED: your access has been recorded. ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER ES-057-2073-L4 To: ϱ-4, Area 08 RARP personnel, pertinent Level 5 personnel. From: Office of the Head Archivist of Area-08. Ref: Special SCP-2073 Archival Report. As per Administrative Order ES-057-2073, all references to SCP-2073-A-1, the Reality Alteration Research Program and the SCP-2073 test schedule have been stricken from the main database. Further documentation involving SCP-2073 procedural creation, behavior, and deactivation may be requested to the Head Archivist of Area-08. Information that may be used to track SCP-2073-A-1's genealogy has also been erased from public record and the main database. Only Clearance Level 4 personnel or members of the RARP or the EMTF ϱ-4 may browse these materials. Since SCP-2073-A remains under heavy monitoring by Area-08 personnel, no SCP-2073 events are expected. A list of potential candidates to bear SCP-2073-A's descendant in order to advance the RARP projects is being considered at this time. SCP-2073-A will be moved to a dedicated research facility when the next phase of the RARP may begin. Were new cases of SCP-2073 to manifest outside of Foundation control, EMTF ϱ-4 will respond by eliminating SCP-2073-A and tracking down the person or persons responsible for its binding. Tracking of anomalous individuals related to the "Palacian schools" is underway as a preventive measure. Footnotes 1. While all █ recorded instances of SCP-2073-A have been cisgender males and have produced biological descendants, there is no evidence that SCP-2073 phenomena may only manifest in instances of SCP-2073-A that are biologically related to their children, or that they could not manifest in transgender or male-identifying descendants. Female at birth SCP-2073 instances are not expected to occur. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2073" by Dr Reach, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2074 | safe | SCP-2074 Item #: SCP-2074 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2074 is not dangerous. Information or expeditions to SCP-2074 by the public should be monitored and diverted if necessary. Currently, the Foundation believes that at least one person or group is aware of, or may be monitoring or controlling, the anomalous features of SCP-2074. Attempts are underway to identify this party. Description: SCP-2074 is a hydrothermal black smoker vent located in the Southern Explorer Ridge seismographic area, west of Vancouver Island, in the Pacific Ocean. It is located at a depth of 1770 meters in the bathypelagic zone. The anomaly was identified from a buoy probe array operated by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for the purpose of monitoring acoustic activity from nearby vents, which had a positive result in the Morisato-Vaux Signal Test (MVST) program.1 The Foundation isolated the anomalous signal's source as SCP-2074. An extended effort on the part of Dr. █████ and Dr. ███████████ concluded that certain modulations in activity (output of minerals and superheated water) correspond to syllables in four languages. During active periods, the “message” is repeated for 16 hours in English, Spanish, Nuu-chah-nulth (indigenous language from the Nuu-chah-nulth people of western Vancouver Island), and Ditidaht (indigenous language from the Ditidaht people of southwestern Vancouver Island) with Russian loanwords. Attached to the ocean floor 4.6 meters from SCP-2074 is a heavily corroded but functional electronic device measuring 30 cm x 30 cm x 10 cm. The device has no obvious controls, inputs, or outputs aside from an illuminated seven-segment display panel. The device is unlabelled, and its purpose, origin, and manufacturers are unknown, as well as its connection to (or interactions with) SCP-2074. Classification as an anomalous object has been postponed, pending further data. Addendum 2074-A 12/16/201█ The first positively identified signal is translated as follows: UNDENIABLE PROOF OF THE HYDROTHERMAL ORIGINS OF LIFE This appears to be a reference to the abiogenetic theory of the origins of life on earth from undersea hydrothermal vents. A remotely operated exploration vessel (ROEV) is sent to SCP-2074 to investigate, and finds no evidence of unusual activities or features. Several samples from the nearby area are collected and determined not to be unusual. 1/29/201█ A second period of anomalous activity begins and is translated as follows: EVIDENCE THAT ALIENS VISITED EARTH THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO A second ROEV is deployed, and takes several observations (including video) from SCP-2074 and 0.5 km of the surrounding area. Nothing aside from the vent activity has markedly changed from the last exploration. The message itself, given the established knowledge of SCP-2005, SCP-471, and SCP-163, was observed not to be highly insightful. During this expedition, the electronic device is also observed for the first time, due to the ROEV's alternate angle of approach. At this time, the illuminated display panel reads "00002." 2/07/201█ A third ROEV is deployed to the area during an inactive period. Only changes other than the vent activity is that the display panel now reads "00003." Further translated signals from SCP-2074 include the following: POSSIBLE UNDERSEA WORMHOLE TO EUROPA WRECKAGE OF THE GHOST SHIP CELESTE CELESTE (sic) BUY PELAGI-COLA ADORABLE BABY POMPEII WORMS BACTERIA CONTAINING ENZYME PATHWAY THAT CONTRADICTS LAWS OF PHYSICS HOLE THAT GOES STRAIGHT TO THE PLANET'S CORE INSANELY DEEP HOLE FILLED WITH MOLTEN ROCK BUY PELAGI-COLA 9/13/201█ A fourth ROEV is deployed to investigate SCP-2074 and the nearby area during an active period. While the surrounding area is unchanged, the aforementioned display panel now reads "00005" and appears to have been cleared of barnacles and debris. All further expeditions to SCP-2074 have been postponed. Footnotes 1. An investigative program which has been running on over 80,000 incoming data streams from both Foundation and civilian natural monitoring stations around the globe for the past eight years.

SCP-2075 | keter | Item#: 2075 Level3 Containment Class: euclid Secondary Class: humanoid Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: warning link to memo Oldest known photograph of SCP-2075. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2075 is to be held in isolation within a Containment Unit capable of being hermetically sealed when required. Containment Unit is to undergo remote decontamination daily (more if deemed necessary). SCP-2075 is to be supplied with bottled water and nutrient capsules via a pneumatic tube three times a day. All interactions with SCP-2075 are to be done by remote microphone. Observational windows are constructed of laminated ballistics glass. Any damage to the containment cell must be repaired immediately by personnel equipped with Level A hazmat gear. SCP-2075-A are to be terminated via incineration and disposed of per hazardous waste protocols unless authorized for research by Site Director. Biopsies are to be stored within individual cryogenic storage units. SCP-2075 has been contained at Sector-G of Biological Containment Site-66 since its transfer from GRU Division "P" on ██/██/1991 in wake of the USSR's dissolution. Description: SCP-2075 is currently a sixty-three-year-old Caucasian male formerly known as Aleksei Kravchuk - a security guard employed by GRU Division "P". SCP-2075 exhales a microbial pathogen capable of extreme neurological alterations. An individual infected by SCP-2075 is classified as SCP-2075-A and is considered an extension of SCP-2075. SCP-2075 is able to exert its anomalous effects regardless of distance after initial infection and will maintain control indefinitely unless SCP-2075-A is destroyed. Experiments using D-Class have suggested SCP-2075 is able to simultaneously use SCP-2075-A as it would its own body. If the primary host is destroyed, the surviving SCP-2075-A will become the acting SCP-2075, exhibiting its anomalous pathogen. SCP-2075 is unable to control more than one SCP-2075-A at a time. SCP-2075 has shown an eager willingness to communicate with Foundation personnel. SCP-2075 claims to have been born in the year 1204 CE.1 Although there exist no records in which to verify its claim, if true then SCP-2075 is estimated to have been 787 years of age at time of its transfer into Foundation custody on ██/██/1991. SCP-2075 prefers to speak in Russian but has also revealed itself fluent in English, German, and an archaic Uralic language that does not coincide with any modern known variants of the Uralic language family. Subject is literate but has made no request for any literature or writing implements. Interview ██/██/1991 ACCESS GRANTED Interviewed: SCP-2075 Interviewer: Dr. Albert Cronenberg Foreword: First interview with SCP-2075 after its successful transportation and containment at Biological Containment Site-66. <Begin Log, [13:06]> Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Welcome SCP-2075. I hope that you are comfortable. SCP-2075: Ah. Very much so. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Good. I would like to ask you some questions. Please answer truthfully. SCP-2075: Of course. A man of honesty, I am. Ask your questions…doctor. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Noted. First, what is your name? SCP-2075: Does it matter? You will call me what you will. I am Karcist Varis. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Karcist? Not your birth name, I presume? SCP-2075: It is a title, doctor. But as true a name I might surrender. The name that once belonged to this face is ill suiting, no? Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Very well. Do you know why you are here? SCP-2075: For same reason Tsars keep me in dungeon. For same reason Stalin experiment. You are afraid, doctor. Much as they were. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Please explain your anomalous nature, if able. SCP-2075: One might as well explain the sun to the moon. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Try me. SCP-2075: When I was small, the Church spoke of two worlds; one of flesh and one of spirit. This is incorrect. There is no perfection in duality. I learned of the oneness of all. Tell me: what does the color yellow feel like? I know you can state some science but no words will translate the experience. My nature is much the same. I can show you. Come inside, doctor. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: I think we'll stop here. Thank you for your time. <End Log, [13:09]> Interview ██/██/1992 ACCESS GRANTED Interviewed: SCP-2075 Interviewer: Dr. Albert Cronenberg Foreword: Seventh interview with SCP-2075. Conversation to focus on missing GRU Division "P" reports. <Begin Log, [14:30]> Dr. Albert Cronenberg: When were you first detained? GRU Division "P" were unable to provide much documentation about you. Said something about a fire in '55? SCP-2075: This was before GRU Division "P". Before Lenin, Stalin or revolution. It was the Time of Troubles, yes?2 I was proselytizing in Novgorod. Spreading the good word. A massacre had occurred just thirty years prior and I could feel the mounds of dead as I walked. Serf, szlachta, and boyar. All were pleased to receive me. But not one, dear doctor. I had one detractor. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Please continue. SCP-2075: An Archpriest of the Eastern Orthodoxy, he was. Declared me witch, heretic, and Bogomil.3 Of which I was none! Pfft. The audacity of that man. He whipped mob into frenzy. Torn to pieces, I was. Watched the entire event from afar. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: So you say. Explain to me your experience. SCP-2075: Do you die if you lose finger? [Chuckles] A very humbling experience, to observe a piece of yourself destroyed. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: An interesting tale but that was not my question. When were you first contained by GRU Division "P"? SCP-2075: So impatient you are. I have all the time in the world. <End Log, [14:35]> Interview ██/██/1996 ACCESS GRANTED Interviewed: SCP-2075 Interviewer: Dr. Albert Cronenberg Foreword: Forty-third interview with SCP-2075. Conversation to focus on missing origin and extent of anomalous abilities. <Begin Log, [14:30]> SCP-2075: Doctor. Always a pleasure. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Yes. Of course. I wanted to discuss your abilities. SCP-2075: Ah. Dear doctor. We have been over this, have we not? Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Have you always been able to control others? SCP-2075: It is a gift. One received long ago. Touched by Ion, Grand Karcist of Adytum, I was embraced into the Faith. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Yes. I've gathered you have built some superstitions around your ability. SCP-2075: I knew you were heathen from start. You surround yourself with abominable machines. Like those who wish to fix what was never broken. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Broken? SCP-2075: Followers of Mekhane. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: I take it you are aware of the Church of the Broken God then? SCP-2075: Very much so. They are… anathema. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: We will discuss them later then. Tell me, who is Ion? SCP-2075: High Priest of Adytum. The Grand Karcist. Our Immortal, Most Beloved Father. Perhaps, dear doctor, you shall meet his Holiness one day. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: What is Adytum? SCP-2075: Adytum? It is a very old city. The way to the Promised Land can only be accessed through the love and unity of Ion. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: I see. I would like to ask you about your anomaly again. SCP-2075: GRU called them "meat puppets". They are not puppets. We are united as one. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: How does the pathogen work? Are you transferring your consciousness or altering their own to suit your needs? SCP-2075: Dear doctor, you are not very imaginative. Tell me. Is finite life worth living? I heard about wife. My heart *truly* bleeds for you. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: This interview is over. <End Log, [14:35]> + INFORMATION RESTRICTED TO LEVEL 4 PERSONNEL OR ABOVE - ACCESS GRANTED Item#: 2075 Level4 Containment Class: keter Secondary Class: humanoid/uncontained Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: critical link to memo Special Containment Procedures: As of ██/██/2014, SCP-2075 is currently uncontained and its location is unknown. Description: SCP-2075 is a gestalt consciousness currently occupying an unknown number of hosts. SCP-2075 exhales a microbial pathogen capable of extreme neurological alterations. Those infected by SCP-2075 are SCP-2075-A and are considered an extension of SCP-2075. SCP-2075 is able to exert its anomalous effects regardless of distance after initial infection and will maintain control indefinitely unless SCP-2075-A are destroyed. <Site-66 Surveillance [24:00]> [Three men enter the Containment Site. They have been identified as Dr. Albert Cronenberg and security personnel Jacob D. Moore and Jonathan Li.] Dr. Albert Cronenberg: You requested to speak with me? I am not at your beck and call, SCP-2075. SCP-2075: Yet you come when beckoned. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: [Audibly sighs] My patience with you has long since waned. Speak and be quick about it. SCP-2075: I have seen enough of this place. I will be leaving you now. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Are you threatening a containment breach? SCP-2075: I have long looked over your shoulder. Truth be told, the man you now observe in your cage could leave whenever he wished. I believe you miscalculated the sum of my parts. Tell me: if you cage the limb of an octopus, have you truly caged the octopus? This one has so many arms to spare… Dr. Albert Cronenberg: What is this? SCP-2075: My containment. It never truly mattered. I have always been quite free. Turn to the right, doctor. Smile for camera. A message is being sent. Dr. Albert Cronenberg: [glances at the security camera] SCP-2075: "And Ion held six fingers aloft and upon their spears did the soldiers impale themselves." Jacob D. Moore: "'For you!' they cried before the blood drowned their tongues. And Ion said, 'Now do you see?'" Jonathan Li: "And Nadox wept, as more did skewer themselves in Ion's name, for he had seen and now knew the truth of his words." Dr. Albert Cronenberg: Security! Security! [Dr. Cronenberg appears to struggle with Security Officer Li] SCP-2075: Do you see? [Security Officer Li appears to hold Dr. Cronenberg while Security Officer Moore stabs him in the abdomen with a dagger of ceremonial design; weapon later designated an anomalous object.] <Video ends abruptly, surveillance camera destroyed> Security Personnel were alerted when SCP-2075's Containment Unit ruptured. An amorphous mass of flesh and bone, considerable in size, destroyed or disabled defense parameters. Sector-G was flooded with chlorine trifluoride, eliminating the biological agent. Heavy casualties were suffered, including fifty-six fatalities. Sector-G was deemed a complete loss and is currently being reconstructed. DNA found spread throughout Sector-G matched that of Dr. Albert Cronenberg, presumed deceased. Investigation concluded that Jacob D. Moore and Jonathan Li were both aspects of SCP-2075. Each had over ten years of exceptional service to the Foundation. It is unknown when they were first linked to SCP-2075 but is believed to have occurred prior to joining the Foundation. Partial remains with their DNA, as well as that of SCP-2075, were found within Sector-G. Due to the true capabilities of SCP-2075, it is now believed to have never been fully contained by GRU Division "P" or the Foundation. Discovered within Sector-G was a ring-shaped object constructed of palladium weighing 2.26 kilograms and with a circumference of 22 centimeters. Object is non-anomalous and depicts an Ouroboros, believed to be a symbol of religious significance. GRU Division "P" personnel associated with original containment have been sought for information about SCP-2075; all were recorded as deceased or missing. Footnotes 1.

SCP-2076 | keter | A scanner reproduction of an instance of SCP-2076 affecting an advertising folder Item #: SCP-2076 Special Containment Procedures: Due to its properties, active containment for SCP-2076 is to be established through live remote monitoring of any media sources connected to any cities in the state of Illinois. The activation of Disinformation Protocol CEIRT-27-04 ("Bowdlerization") is to be carried out on a weekly basis by Foundation-operated assets linked to active distribution to major informative sources. Any sentient beings currently affected by SCP-2076's longstanding infohazardous property are to undergo continuous neurological remapping through the usage of long-term amnestic agents and monitoring of psychotic episodes matching the patterns of Infohazard-linked Chronic Catatonic Psychosis.1 Description: SCP-2076 is the defined designation for an infohazardous publicity campaign currently manifesting through folders, billboards and local radio and television transmissions in the state of Illinois. When compared to non-anomalous publicity efforts, SCP-2076 shows no visually perceptible signs of anomalous properties in its layout, design or distribution, and is laid out as a common low-budget marketing operation. The content of instances of SCP-2076 will invariably consist of false or incomprehensible messages delivered through short sentences highlighted in vibrant colors and depicted by forms of imagery representing a part of the situation or statement described by the phrase. This combination will be perceived by sapient beings as a part of a common and credible advertisement asset solely distributed through means of communication and will be interpreted as legitimate by any affected instances. Any sapient beings affected by an instance of SCP-2076 will show continuous interest in taking part in the activities described by the infohazard, while holding a constant need to permanently introduce the depicted situation to one's daily activities in an ordinary manner and while not being able to perceive any egregious peculiarities involving one's recent behavior. + Enter Level 2-2076 Credentials: Incident Log 2076-A Credentials Accepted: Gathering Files 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 rosalia3 was registered in the wild or Foundation-operated preservation centers. Addendum 2076-A: The following is an excerpt of a report elaborated by the ███████ Health Surveillance Department following a complaint made by a citizen identified as the side neighbor for Ms. Addison █████████, known by the local community as the current president of the "████████ Neighbors and Women's Association". […] Entering the house, a foul scent identified by our on-site specialist as that of rotting vegetation was noticed by the crew. The source of the scent was then detected as several cardboard boxes positioned on the inside and the outside of Ms. █████████'s household. Inside each one of the cardboard boxes, several pieces of vegetal matter were found 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. + Addendum 4/2076-B: Crime Scene Investigation Inventory Credentials Accepted: Gathering Files Footnotes 1.

SCP-2077 | keter | close Info X SCP-2077: Miracle Stuff Smells like the Stuff Industry. Author: AndarielHalo Eat more of my SCPs. Eat them all. Also please eat some of these Anabasis Hub Probably the greatest story involving a pair of redheaded siblings whose infighting causes the end of the world Manna Charitable Foundation 2000 The sequel to the above, collaborationed with Dr Reach The Stuff Industry What happens when everyone around you at work is a complete idiot and so are you, but not only does no one get fired, but you actually turn a profit? I don't know, some stuff. When MCF and Stuff happen A fun story of incompetence 4/2077 LEVEL 4/2077 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-2077 Two of the most common appearances of SCP-2077. Soft capsules on the left contain fish oil, while capsules on the right contain bone meal. Special Containment Procedures: All drug retailers are to be monitored for instances of SCP-2077. Confirmed instances are to be confiscated and tracked to their source of origin if practicable. Human consumption of SCP-2077 is to be discouraged via campaigns and outreach programs intended to educate individuals on the dangers of unregulated imported prescription drug use. The Foundation is to maintain and distribute functioning generics of brand-name norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (NRI), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), and non-steroidal inflammatory drugs (NSAID) via the front company "Sunrise Care Practitioners" in designated "hot spots" where instances of SCP-2077 have been reported. Description: SCP-2077 refers to a number of capsule and tablet pills variously advertised as analgesics, anti-anxiety drugs, anti-depressants, and anti-convulsants, manufactured by an unlicensed company going by the name "The Stuff Industry" and represented by a logo of a crudely drawn house with a shining sun perched atop the roof. While the pills appear to function as advertised, analysis of the pills' contents show that each capsule is apparently filled with objects ground into powder and filled into capsules, including glass, quartz, plant matter, volcanic ash, sugar, bone meal, and owl pellets. Tablets are similarly composed of granulated matter or solid waste in a polymer coating. Capsules of SCP-2077 that are emptied of their contents do not retain their effects when consumed. Instances of SCP-2077 first appeared in █████████, Malaysia, in which ██,███ kilograms of capsule and tablet pills from "The Stuff Industry" were confiscated as part of a drug bust. Analyses found no legitimate medicinal components within the pills, and much of the confiscated instances were destroyed before coming into Foundation custody. Further instances of SCP-2077 began to spring up throughout Southeast Asia, India, Australia, China, and South America sporadically. Continued use of SCP-2077 sees additional effects take place over a 2-4 week period. During this period, portions of an individual's body, ranging from hair and skin cells to layers of subcutaneous tissue, begin to part from the individual overnight while the body begins to regenerate lost tissue. The longer an individual remains on SCP-2077, the greater portions of their body begin to be replaced. Organs and tissue matter replicated are genetically identical to the original tissue, with the exception of being free or otherwise unaffected by the disease and/or injury supposedly being treated by SCP-2077. Subjects using SCP-2077 have often reported being unable to identify portions of their own body, displaying symptoms consistent with Gerstmann's syndrome1 and/or autotopagnosia.2 Subjects often have difficulty coordinating and determining distance between objects and their own limbs, due to being unable to recognize their own limbs as a part of themselves. Subjects viewing themselves in a mirror tend to have less difficulty coordinating, though remain unable to identify specific parts of their body, typically indicating the general area of its location. Experiment Log A group of 150 Class-D personnel were selected to ascertain the method of operation of SCP-2077. They were selected and grouped based upon physical and mental afflictions. Group 1 was told of the reported effects of SCP-2077 and were administered placebos. Group 2 was told of the reported effects of SCP-2077 and were administered capsules of SCP-2077 emptied of their contents. Group 3 was told of the reported effects of SCP-2077 and were administered the contents of SCP-2077 placed in different capsules. Group 4 was not told of the reported effects of SCP-2077 and were administered unaltered capsules of SCP-2077. Group 5 was told of the reported effects of SCP-2077 and were administered unaltered capsules of SCP-2077. This is the control group. Testing unfolded over the course of 3 months. Group 1 (Placebo) Time Effects 3 Weeks No reported effects. 6 Weeks 11 of 30 subjects claim to be recovering. No measurable improvement has been found. 9 Weeks No reported effects. 12 Weeks No reported effects. 15 Weeks 5 subjects claim to be "cured" of their mental afflictions. Psychological evaluations indicate this to be false. No further result has been detected amongst the group. Group 2 (Empty) Time Effects 3 Weeks One subject experiences chest pains. Determined later to be unrelated to experiment. 6 Weeks 4 subjects report feeling improved from their symptoms (subjects were afflicted with various respiratory illnesses.) 9 Weeks No reported effects. 12 Weeks No reported effects. 15 Weeks No reported effects. Group 3 (Alternate Capsules) Time Effects 3 Weeks 6 subjects complained of stomachaches and suffered from brief gastrointestinal issues. Later determined to be due to reaction to SCP-2077 contents. 6 Weeks 19 subjects report small improvements in overall health. No measurable improvement has been found. 9 Weeks One subject briefly hospitalized due to increased level of sodium caused by SCP-2077 contents. 12 Weeks No reported effects. 15 Weeks No reported effects. Group 4 (SCP-2077) Time Effects 3 Weeks 28 of 30 subjects experience effects of SCP-2077, including loss and duplication of fingernails and teeth, followed by layers of skin and fat. Footage of the subjects sleeping indicate deep abscesses forming on skin, which burst and cause the layers of skin and fat to come away. When blood is rinsed away, skin and flesh appear as normal. Shed body parts are disposed of while subjects remain asleep. One subject reports significant clearing of acne. 6 Weeks 14 of 30 subjects experience loss of limbs, replaced with duplicated copies. All affected subjects report "serious difficulty" coordinating with new limbs, and some reportedly are unable to perceive any tactile sensations with their replaced limbs. 9 Weeks All 30 subjects have experienced some loss and replacement of body parts, with 7 reported incidents of regurgitation of organs, including kidneys, pieces of the liver, and gallbladder. 12 Weeks 4 of 30 subjects are reportedly "cured" of their afflictions, including eczema, cirrhosis of the liver, renal failure, and insomnia. 15 Weeks 25 of 30 subjects now report being "cured" of their afflictions, including all mental afflictions. 21 of the 25 report being unable to identify parts of their body, with some likening it to having prosthetic limbs. 3 of the remaining subjects believe they have died and have been replaced into new bodies. One remaining subject claims to be two distinct individuals in one body. Group 5 (Control) Time Effects 3 Weeks Results as expected. 6 Weeks Results as expected. 9 Weeks Results as expected. 12 Weeks One subject who had not been responding to SCP-2077 suffered a full-body duplication. Subject claimed SCP-2077 to have given them a "second chance at life" and to be the work of "divine intervention." Subject displayed severe symptoms of autotopagnosia and lost all mobility below the waist. Addendum: Extreme cases of SCP-2077 consumption3 can result in the individual's entire body being "duplicated", with the "original" body coming away lifeless, leaving the subject within their "duplicated" body. Subjects in this state suffer from severe depersonalization, often experiencing distinct changes in behavior and personality while retaining memories and life experiences. One subject claimed that use of SCP-2077 has "killed" them, and in effect created a perfect living copy of themselves. In at least 3 documented cases, subjects have described feeling as if they are "entirely different" people, able to recall personal events while being able to discern between "themselves" and their "former selves". Footnotes 1. A cognitive impairment typically resulting from damage to the left hemisphere of the brain. Characterized by an inability to distinguish left from right, difficulty in writing and understanding mathematics, and difficulty distinguishing the fingers on the hand. 2. A form of agnosia, indicating an inability to recognize or orient different parts of one's own body. 3.

SCP-2078 | keter | Item #: SCP-2078 Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Alpha-3 ("Running Mates") has been commissioned in order to contain SCP-2078; at no time are more than 49% of the membership of MTF Alpha-3 to possess American citizenship. In order to identify SCP-2078 infection vectors and infectees, MTF Alpha-3 operatives have been granted access to all Foundation telecommunications surveillance of the United States of America. MTF Alpha-3 also conducts regular scans of American news media, physical correspondence, and internet activity. Once identified, infectees are to be apprehended by MTF Alpha-3 personnel within twelve hours; failure to do so constitutes a containment breach. Contingents of MTF Alpha-3 armed with non-lethal weaponry are to assault any predicted or discovered mass congregations of SCP-2078 infectees; failure to apprehend all SCP-2078 infectees constitutes a containment breach and warrants usage of lethal force. MTF Alpha-3 agents embedded in the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) and American state governments are to intercept all attempts to register SCP-2078-1 as a candidate for election. MTF Alpha-3 operatives are to conduct surveillance of all American polling places on Election Day. In the event of a containment breach, aerosolized deployment of amnestics as well as detention and interrogation of civilians is authorized. All materials identified to be SCP-2078 infection vectors are to be subjected to standard CogHaz-4 containment and information sanitation protocols (full documentation on CogHaz-4 protocols are available to all members of MTF Alpha-3). All members of MTF Alpha-3 are to be trained in counter-memetic practices. Civilians or Foundation personnel infected with SCP-2078 are to be administered amnestics. If initial amnestic administration is unsuccessful in removing infection, researchers are permitted to administer Class-█ amnestics to infected subjects and reclassify them as Class-D personnel. Description: SCP-2078 is a meme transmitted by media or word-of-mouth communication referencing an individual named "████ █████", hereafter designated SCP-2078-1, an independent candidate who runs in every presidential election of the United States of America. There is no evidence that SCP-2078-1 exists in reality; the only information that is known regarding SCP-2078-1 comes from material produced by and interviews with SCP-2078 infectees. SCP-2078 only affects individuals who self-identify as citizens of the United States of America. Individuals must be exposed to infection vectors at a certain rate, ranging from three to twenty-five minutes per day, in order to become infected. Knowledge of SCP-2078's memetic nature and other counter-memetic practices are effective at combating infection. SCP-2078-1's political platform is unorthodox. Planks include legislation mandating a "birth requirement" of four or more children for all married couples, legislation defunding essential governmental programs such as defense or welfare in order to increase government subsidies of food-related industries, and a constitutional amendment prohibiting vegetarianism (Document-2078-██ compiles all information regarding SCP-2078-1's political platform). SCP-2078 infection dramatically alters an individual's behavior. All infectees, regardless of prior political affiliation, ascribe to SCP-2078-1's political platform; most infectees actively seek to spread SCP-2078 through the creation of political advertisements, usage of social media, or simple word-of-mouth communication. Furthermore, most infectees exhibit dramatically increased appetite, as well as decreased aversion to unhygienic practices. Experimentation has confirmed that SCP-2078 infectees lack a satiety response, enabling them to consume far in excess of normal human capacities. SCP-2078 infectees have been observed to coordinate gatherings of up to approximately two hundred infected individuals. These gatherings have been recorded to last for up to a week. Infectees employed in food service professions often use their positions to deliver large quantities of food to the gathering place in order to facilitate near-constant food consumption. Due to inadequate waste disposal facilities and infectee disregard for cleanliness, sanitation suffers dramatically. Infection and disease, sometimes resulting in death, are common. Infectees typically burn the bodies of the deceased. SCP-2078 infection vectors are distributed throughout the internet and mass media by an unknown source. Furthermore, despite Foundation intervention, SCP-2078-1’s name has occasionally appeared on the ballots of some voting districts. Addendum-2078A: On ██/██/20██, MTF Alpha-3 operatives intercepted a video file containing SCP-2078 infection vectors intended to be distributed via the internet. Notably, the advertisement seemed to include the first recorded instance of direct communication from SCP-2078-1. A transcript is provided below. Retrieved Document Log 2078-23 Camera pans over a sequence of still images of farmland and domesticated animals. Soft piano music plays in background. The sequence of images ends with a shot of an apple tree, with white picket fence in foreground and house in background. A man, wearing a suit with a blue tie, enters from the right into the shot. His face is digitally obscured, making it impossible to determine identity. He is using a toothpick, which he quickly discards. The man is presumed to be or represent SCP-2078-1. SCP-2078-1: I'm very lucky to be here today, and those of you who've given me support should all feel very proud of yourselves for working so hard to make this possible. I want to share with you some of my beliefs. SCP-2078-1 is shown giving a speech to an audience, which stands and applauds. SCP-2078-1's voice continues to narrate. SCP-2078-1: I believe in people power. I believe that together, Americans can accomplish amazing things. I decided to run for President because I had faith that America could make the right choice. Children are shown feeding chickens. SCP-2078-1: I'm all about moving back towards America's roots. You see, other politicians don't like to acknowledge America's fundamentals. We need those fundamentals to turn ourselves away from the path of asceticism. SCP-2078-1 is shown helping to deliver a baby. SCP-2078-1's voice is partially obscured by the mother's vocalizations. SCP-2078-1: I firmly believe that America can make the right choice to reclaim our potential from the forces that have gripped this country for the past six thousand years. Same shot of chickens as before is displayed. Children have disappeared. One chicken has scraps of cloth stuck in its claws. SCP-2078-1 then re-enters screen. SCP-2078-1: I want you to imagine an America where you can always hear a beating heart to reassure you that we are alive and that blood yet flows through these soft, soapy limbs. The Declaration of Independence says that we are given an inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness, but America, we are miserable. To think, to feel, to act, to be free—to be human—is to be miserable. The alternative is obvious. Think about what it would be like to strip off your clothes and feel your innards grow thick and heavy while incense wafts upwards from your loins and coils itself in your nose. Think about what it means to want nothing and know nothing. Imagine a world where we are all stuffed tight in a cramped, dim, sour-smelling place. Throughout the entire packed mass you'd feel the warmth and sweat and skin and soft fat of every other American. You'd hear their cries echo from wall to wall. And the world would know the dark, pulsating heart of this country. Screen fades to black. The words "[REDACTED] 20██" appear on the screen. Fine print at the bottom of the screen reads, "I can smell the fat burning off your bones."

SCP-2079 | keter | Item #: SCP-2079 Special Containment Procedures: Where feasible, Foundation personnel are to monitor the laws, code of conduct, canon law, charter, or employee agreements of all nations and organizations listed in Document 2079-1 for signs of SCP-2079 influence. No group may be monitored by one of its own members. Minor incidences of SCP-2079 may usually be addressed simply by alerting the relevant authorities to the presence of instances of SCP-2079-A. If this proves insufficient, additional efforts to strike SCP-2079 must be approved by the External Operations Board. In cases where SCP-2079 has progressed to the point where SCP-2079-B begins to manifest, Mobile Task Force Pi-4 will analyze the legal aberrations caused by this occurrence of SCP-2079 to discover and effect a means of dispersing SCP-2079-B. If no vulnerability presents itself, it may be necessary to wait for the ratification of further instances of SCP-2079-A before acting. To prevent a theoretical manifestation of SCP-2079 affecting the Foundation, an independent agency called the Select Committee for Prudence has been established to monitor the Foundation charter for legal anomalies. Description: SCP-2079 refers to a phenomenon where an authority will begin to enact laws regarding a being referred to as the Grokodus. SCP-2079-A is the set of laws drawn on during incidences of SCP-2079. Though these laws are in a 10th century dialect of Old English and do not conform to modern legal standards, nothing unusual about this is observed by members of the affected organization. Persons involved in the passage of an SCP-2079-A instance show thorough understanding of that instance, but they demonstrate no additional comprehension of similar Old English writings. Instances of SCP-2079-A are enacted at an increasing rate, which varies greatly between manifestations. To date, 282 instances of SCP-2079-A have been observed, drawn apparently at random from a total pool that statistical inference suggests contains between 350 and 375 laws. For a sampling of these, please see Addendum 2079-14. If few instances of SCP-2079-A are currently in effect, the SCP-2079 event may be ended by notifying the affected organization of the existence of aberrations in their legal code. When approximately fifty laws from SCP-2079-A have been ratified, SCP-2079-B will begin to manifest, typically remaining within twenty kilometers of the seat of the affected organization. SCP-2079-B is a large quadrupedal creature covered in stiff black hairs. It has a long snout containing powerful jaws, and does not possess visible eyes. It is surrounded by 29 animate, levitating hands, which appear human and seem to have been severed at the wrist. These protect and manipulate objects for SCP-2079-B, and are believed to be under its direct control. SCP-2079-B can only be interacted with as specified by those instances of SCP-2079-A currently in force, indicating that it is the Grokodus. In other circumstances, SCP-2079-B is intangible and unaffected by all obstacles. When in accordance to SCP-2079-A, SCP-2079-B has demonstrated several other anomalous capabilities, including mass hypnosis, extreme strength, and production of large quantities of wine. Certain laws in SCP-2079-A specify punishments should the Grokodus fail to abide by them, the worst of which appears to be dispersal, which immediately ends the SCP-2079 manifestation. Though SCP-2079-B shows signs of sapience, it has never communicated, and all its actions seem to be to ensure it remains in accordance with SCP-2079-A. From when SCP-2079-B appears to when it is dispersed, authorities will become very resistant to repealing SCP-2079-A. It is unknown what would happen if SCP-2079-A were ratified in full. Addendum 2079-14: The following is a representative sample of the laws in SCP-2079-A, along with a brief analysis of their effects. The text of the laws has been translated from Old English. SCP-2079-A-1 Reference name — Humility Text — As the Grokodus stands in defiance of the will of Heaven, it can not set foot on Holy Ground or speak the name of the Father. That it may know its degradation, the Grokodus will make alms to each of the righteous Poor that it should meet, for they are as greater than the Grokodus in the eyes of God as the Grokodus is to the righteous Poor in the eyes of Man. Effects — As SCP-2079-B does not talk and has never been sighted in a church regardless of whether 2079-Humility is in effect, it is unclear what effect the first portion of the law has. After SCP-2079-B manifested, it was observed to on several occasions give gold coins to beggars it encountered in Canberra. Notes — This is the first instance of SCP-2079-A to be recorded, having been passed by the Commonwealth Government of Australia in 1960, although the Foundation did not become aware of it until the first manifestation of SCP-2079-B in 1961. SCP-2079-A-53 Reference name — Sustenance Text — For we are greater and more magnanimous than the Grokodus, we allow it the luxury of food which it has denied of so many. The Grokodus may consume its food in its own way, but that it does not strip the hills and glens of smiling Men, if it should devour more than ten of the Children of Adam between one midnight and the next, it shall be dispersed unto the Earth. The same shall it suffer if it dares to harm one of Ours. Effects — Whenever 2079-Sustenance is in effect, SCP-2079-B will use its hands to catch, flay, and remove the eyes of nearby humans. It then eats the collected skin and eyes. SCP-2079 will carefully observe the limit of ten victims each day, but otherwise shows no pattern in whom it attacks. The meaning of the last clause is unclear. Notably, corpses with similar injuries have been found whenever 2079-Sustenance is in effect, even if too few laws are in effect for SCP-2079-B to manifest. Notes — During the incidence of SCP-2079 affecting the bylaws of the Boy Scouts of America, 2079-Sustenance's dispersal method was successfully utilized. SCP-2079-A-65 Reference name — Iron Text — In remembrance of how the Grokodus would adopt the airs of Man, though no such thing it was, the Grokodus shall dwell in a house of their most dismal Iron. All Iron that God witnesses pass within a scant foot of its filthy hide shall there remain as long as the Grokodus insists on clawing to Life and Earth. Should it seek to forget, let it find so little solace in the Vine as it finds fear at the recollection of Iron. Effects — Any iron or alloy containing large amounts of iron that comes within about half a meter of SCP-2079-B is strongly attracted to the surface of its body, apparently causing SCP-2079-B moderate distress. This effect does not apply to its hands, which have been observed pulling metal crushed into flat plates away from its body and throwing it outside the attraction zone. SCP-2079-A-148 Reference name — Penance Text — That the Grokodus shall not seek more to escape our Edict into the view of Man, let its judgement be remembered by all whose Shadows cross its awful Shadow. Thus shall the Grokodus find chains where it would find form. That the Grokodus shall not try our Judgement in the world of Death, here we speak to those of Ours who would help it to test those bonds — when you fail, your Will and Act shall evermore serve to keep the Grokodus of the Earth. Effects — No consistently observed effect, though while 2079-Penance is in effect, SCP-2079-B will occasionally bite the hand off of individuals who try to attack it. Though SCP-2079-B will typically then spend some time observing and trying to interact with the severed hand, this appears to serve no purpose. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2079" by Anaxagoras, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2080 | euclid | SCP-2080: Dads House I'll bet no one else ever referenced Outkast in an SCP. ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} Item #: SCP-2080 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2080 is contained in situ and has been boarded up and declared condemned as cover. Two personnel are to be posted at Observation Point 2080 for monitoring. Any civilians found on SCP-2080's property are to be detained and questioned, with amnestics administered if needed. Instances of SCP-2080-1 are not to be removed from SCP-2080. Should an activation event occur, all instances of SCP-2080-1 are to be allowed access to SCP-2080, and all instances of SCP-2080-2 are to be impounded at the conclusion of the event. Two instances of each are held in storage at Site-81 for experimentation. No further action is to be taken to free SCP-2080-1A. Description: SCP-2080 is a two-story house in Inkster, Michigan. It is the focus of a phenomenon involving the reduplication of an individual, Mr. ███████ █. Herschel, Sr. (SCP-2080-1) and a blue 2001 PT Cruiser (SCP-2080-2). Experimentation has verified instances of SCP-2080-1 to be genetically identical, and instances of SCP-2080-2 to exhibit scratches and dents located in precisely the same positions. Instances of SCP-2080-1 cannot communicate, and only repeat thirty-four distinct phrases. (See Document 2080-02a for a full list.) Approximately 96% of the available space within SCP-2080 is filled with instances of SCP-2080-1, including the interiors of closets, cabinets and appliances. Imaging suggests ██% of SCP-2080-1 instances are animate. Activation events occur whenever one or more instances of SCP-2080-1 is removed from SCP-2080. Within ten minutes, an instance of SCP-2080-2 containing four instances of SCP-2080-1 will approach from the south, progress as far up the driveway as possible, and collide with other SCP-2080-2 if present. Instances of SCP-2080-1 will enter SCP-2080, compacting the mass of SCP-2080-1 further into the interior. The activation event will end when the previous number of instances of SCP-2080-1 is reached. This can result in a higher total number of instances, which will become the limit of future activation events. Since containment, there have been █ activation events, increasing the total number of SCP-2080-1 instances by ██. SCP-2080-1A is thought to be the original instance of SCP-2080-1, and is the only instance capable of communication. It is located in the master bedroom of SCP-2080, pinned between other SCP-2080-1 with its head visible in the window. SCP-2080-1A has expressed pain during activation events. Rescue attempts have been unsuccessful, and due to enactment of current containment procedures, communication with SCP-2080-1A is no longer possible. Local police alerted Foundation agents in the Detroit, Michigan area to the existence of SCP-2080 after a report from ███████ Herschel-Jackson, Jr., who is believed to have witnessed the initial series of activation events. Transcript of intake interview follows. Interviewed: ███████ Herschel-Jackson, Jr. Interviewer: Agent Arnstadt, Detroit field office <Begin Log, 13:45> Arnstadt: Mr. Herschel-Jackson, I'm Agent Arnstadt. I'm here to ask you a few questions. Jackson: Uh, yeah, all right. Arnstadt: When was the last time you spoke with your father? Jackson: This morning, before, you know. Arnstadt: What happened? Did anything about him seem different? Jackson: Well, I wasn't really paying attention to that, on account of we got in a fight. Arnstadt: What did you fight about? Jackson: I, uh, he didn't like, you know, who I was dating. Cause he's not a chick, you know? Dad said some nasty shit, and I did too. Like, that I didn't want to talk to him ever again. And then I like left, you know? Arnstadt: What happened after you left? When did you first notice something was wrong? Jackson: Sorry, okay, sorry, I'm good. I, uh, it was pretty much almost right away the shit got weird, like, I was just kind of stomping around, y'know, not going anywhere really, and then I seen this car coming up the road. Caught my eye cause it looked like dad's car. And then I realize, it is. Same license plate, you know? It goes by, I look in the window, right, and there he is, smiling and waving like what just happened didn't. And then another one came, and another one after that, and they just kept coming. And every single one, the cars, there's my dad, driving and waving out the passenger side and sitting in back all at once, and all smiling like I never said shit to him. They just kept coming. Arnstadt: It says in the police report that you ran back to the house. Jackson: Yeah, and all those cars kept following me, just more and more. I get to the driveway, there's like a ton of cars just in a pile. Tried the front door, nothing, it wouldn't budge. And then the back door… Arnstadt: All right, that's fine, that's enough. Thank you, ████. Jackson: Do you, do you think it's my fault? Arnstadt: I don't, we're not sure why this is happening. I doubt it's your fault, really. Don't worry, you'll be taken to your family and we'll see what we can do to help your dad. Jackson: Thank you, Ms. Agent. It's just, I really wish I could take it all back, you know? What I said. Arnstadt: I'll see what we can do. <End Log, 14:04> Closing Statement: After a standard quarantine period, ███████ Herschel-Jackson, Jr. was amnesticized and released to the custody of his grandparents with a cover story of a gas leak causing the death of ███████ Herschel, Sr. Ashes were provided to the family for dispersion in accordance with ███████ Jackson, Sr.'s will. No further contact with the family of SCP-2080-1A is required.

Hey, all right, look at those grades! Didn't I say it'd be worth it? Just do this one thing for me, give me this one night out, and we can go wherever you want this weekend. [Singing] I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson, ooh! I'm for real, yeah! I never meant to make your daughter cry, I apologized a trillion times! [Laughter] I'm sorry. You're still my son, and I still love you, and that's all that matters.

SCP-2081 | safe | Item #: SCP-2081 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2081 are to be kept in a standard Safe-class locker, with each instance held securely closed by two strong elastic bands to prevent accidental exposure. Duplication of SCP-2081's contents does not reproduce the anomalous effects, and as such any copies created are not subject to special containment procedures. Copies created for research or other purposes are not to be taken off-site. Description: SCP-2081 are multiple identical copies of an 82-page hardback volume entitled 'Making Your Dreams Your Reality: Lucidity for Beginners', purporting to be an informal guide to lucid dreaming. The author is cited as Dr. ███████ █████████, a supposed expert in circadian neuroscience; however, investigations have thus far failed to trace anyone of this name and description and it is believed to be a pseudonym. SCP-2081's title is apparently derived from a quotation referenced in the book's introduction, headed 'Why Lucidity?': 'If [the dreamer] has these lucid dreams often, they can even have an effect on his confidence, mood and general well-being in the waking world – lucid dreaming is truly a way to make his dreams become his reality.' The origin of the quotation is not stated. The contents of SCP-2081 range from simple instructions for achieving lucidity to a section titled 'Prophecies and Alternate Worlds', which discusses differing views of dreams across history and cultures. The tone is predominantly light-hearted, although this is inconsistent throughout the volume. A combination of British and American English terms and spellings are used throughout, apparently arbitrarily, with terms such as 'metastasise' and 'vaporize' appearing within the same paragraph. The possibility that SCP-2081 may have multiple authors has not been ruled out. Subjects who had been exposed to SCP-2081's contents were assessed by Foundation staff, and those deemed suitable for further study were transferred to isolated rooms in the site's psychiatric wing on ██/██/20██. All describe experiencing vivid auditory and sometimes visual phenomena during sleeping periods, and have been shown via video footage and EEG tracings to be waking fully for anywhere from ██ seconds to ██ minutes each night. Despite the purported nature of SCP-2081, phenomena experienced by the subjects are therefore being classed as waking hallucinations rather than genuine lucid dreaming events. The relation (if any) between these phenomena and real world events is as yet indeterminate and is the subject of ongoing analysis. All subjects report both total paralysis (with the exception of eye movement) and feelings of extreme terror for the duration of each incident. Once subjects' panic has subsided, usually █ to ██ minutes after hallucinatory effects cease, they return to a normal sleeping state. On awakening subjects are able to recall auditory hallucinations with abnormal accuracy, quoting spoken passages for up to ██ minutes without hesitation. This recall shows no sign of fading over time. Further investigation has revealed that all subjects believe themselves to be waking in near-total darkness, even when video monitoring clearly shows that the room is fully lit by sunlight or electric bulbs throughout the sleep period. Subjects' pupils have additionally been shown to be dilated in a manner consistent with adaptation to darkness, even under bright lighting. During incidents, researchers remained present in the observation chamber and attempted to communicate with subjects, but no response was made to visual, auditory or tactile stimuli. Once fully awakened, subjects were apparently unaware that researchers had been present at all during the incident. Testing of subjects' sensory perceptions during waking hours produced normal results. ███████ from the start of the observation period, sedatives were administered to all subjects to alleviate their growing distress in the hours before sleep and their resulting uncooperative behaviour; however, no known sedatives were found to prevent waking or hallucinations. Administration of amnestics was successful in removing subjects' knowledge of contact with SCP-2081, but had no effect on waking incidents. At the present time it should be assumed that SCP-2081's effects are permanent, that subjects do not become accustomed to them over time, and that no countermeasures exist. Recovery Log: Between ██/██/20██ and ██/██/20██, instances of SCP-2081 appeared in libraries, bookshops, community centres and one church in ████████, ██. How and why items were distributed to these locations remains unclear. The Foundation was alerted to the existence of SCP-2081 following a sharp increase in the number of patients in the area presenting with sleep-related issues. ███ copies have thus far been secured by the Foundation; however, the total number of existing copies is currently unknown, and there is no record of the existence (current or past) of █████████ ██████, the publishing house named in the items' edition pages. Note added ██/██/20██: Following an increase in subjects' paranoia and aggressive behaviour towards researchers, in-person interviews have been suspended until further notice. Written records are instead to be collected from subjects, including all events and approximate timings, and entered by researchers into the log. + Entry added to log on ██/██/20██: - Hide entry: Subject ID: ██ Visual events: Small green light flashing at regular intervals throughout the incident, apparently emanating from an unidentified ceiling-mounted electronic device Auditory events (including approximate timings): 00:00:00: (Electronic warning sirens begin sounding) 00:00:15: (Sirens continue. Robotic but distinctly female voice begins repeating the words 'Light Colour: Green. Light Colour: Yellow. Light Colour: Red.') 00:01:00: (All sounds cease abruptly) Note added ██/██/20██: On ██/██/20██ one subject was taken for an emergency ████████ and was reported by the surgeon to have opened her eyes for approximately ██ seconds during the course of the operation. After this point the normal effect of the anaesthetic was immediately re-established. Upon normal awakening, the subject reported having experienced no pain and indeed having been unaware that the operation was taking place at all. + Entry added to log on ██/██/20██: - Hide entry: Subject ID: ██ Visual events: None Auditory events (including approximate timings): 00:00:00: (Subject wakes gradually, initially believing herself to be hearing a radio alarm) 00:00:10: […] due to an accident involving multiple vehicles. That's it for the travel, here's Karen Scott with the weather. (Radio jingle plays) 00:00:20: Thank you John. As you can see we're looking at clear blue skies this morning, in fact we're expecting one of the brightest mornings on record, with temperatures at unprecedented highs in the south-east. After the flash there's a strong chance of black rain across much of the coast this afternoon, with visibility severely impaired in places, but don't be alarmed as this effect will almost certainly be temporary. All citizens are instructed to remain indoors away from windows, and if possible away from external walls. More clouds will start to appear in the east later, with most of the region (Speech begins to crack, then breaks up into static) + Excerpt from entry added to log on ██/██/20██: - Hide entry: 00:17:30: charred stumps that are no longer even bodies, that once held close and called lovers. Surface deformities all that remain to suggest an arm thrown up in defence, twisted limbs in flight. Two hundred milligrams, Naphthol Red. Alpha and Omega consumed by white light of Hell with the atomized body and blood. The faceless moon shines down on the eyes of the blind. There will come a number to end all numbers. Zero milligrams, black. Behind will be nothing but barren sky. + Entry added to log on ██/██/20██]: - Hide entry: Subject ID: ██ Visual events: Undetermined (see note) (Note: On full awakening, audio was recognised by the subject as an excerpt from page 63 of SCP-2081, headed 'Warnings'. Subject reported being unsure as to whether he had experienced visual hallucinations, stating only that he had seen 'shapes that looked like people in the dark'.) Auditory events (including approximate timings): 00:00:00: If at any time during a lucid dream you find yourself in a state of apparent paralysis, it is critical that you abide by the following instructions: 00:00:10: Do not close your eyes, and try to blink as little as possible. Make no attempt to speak or to make any other sound. 00:00:20: If someone is sleeping beside you, do not under any circumstances try to wake them, even if their identity is known to you. 00:00:30: Do not look directly at uncovered glass, such as mirrors or windows, or into any electronic light sources. 00:00:40: If possible avoid looking at all timekeeping devices, in particular digital clock faces. 00:00:45: (Silence) 00:00:55: If you hear sounds that appear to originate within the room, do not acknowledge them in any way. This includes whispering, movement, or sounds produced by electronic devices. 00:01:10: If you sense the presence of an unknown entity within the room, do not attempt to locate it. Remain as still and quiet as possible, breathing slowly. If you see any humanoid figure in your vicinity, do not look directly at it: look away if possible, and under no circumstances allow it to make eye contact. 00:01:30: If any visible humanoid entity moves towards or touches you, ensure that you do not look directly at its face. Remain calm and do not acknowledge its presence. 00:01:40: (Silence) 00:02:00: (Message repeats) ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2081" by Mondegreen, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2083 | safe | Item #: SCP-2083 Special Containment Procedures: The warehouse containing SCP-2083 has been designated as a secure zone, with a Foundation research station permanently stationed outside of it. All access to SCP-2083 is restricted, and any personnel surviving exposure to SCP-2083 will be severely reprimanded. Once per month, a used sneaker is to be thrown into SCP-2083, and the results recorded by on-site personnel. Description: SCP-2083 is a small warehouse located in Hoboken, New Jersey, USA. It appears to have originally been used to store furniture, and the reason for the anomaly inhabiting it is currently unknown. Approximately 2,000 human legs emerge from various points on the walls of SCP-2083. They vary in their apparent age and appearance, but all are biologically male legs, barefoot, with significant amounts of hair. ~2% of legs within SCP-2083 appear to have ingrown toenails, but other than this there are no significant health details apparent on any SCP-2083 leg. The legs within SCP-2083 are normally docile, unless a human subject wearing footwear comes into it. If this occurs, any legs near the subject will immediately attempt to draw them into SCP-2083, followed by every leg within range vigorously kicking the subject. It is possible to escape attacks by SCP-2083, as legs do not display any abnormal strength and have difficulty grasping subjects with their toes. If the subject expires, the legs will manipulate their footwear until it is being worn by one foot. Following this, the feet will appear to retreat into the walls of SCP-2083, although no corresponding leg will appear on the opposite side. The foot will orient sideways, and remain suspended there until the shoe is removed, at which point the leg will return to its former state. Other than this, SCP-2083 legs will display behaviors such as practicing kicks, kicking one another, and carefully rubbing their foot against the wall, in an apparent attempt to groom themselves. In addition, several times per week, local franchise locations for local shoe businesses will receive job applications for "models" with an address listed as SCP-2083. Included in the application will be photographs of an SCP-2083 instance, with shoes on. If no instance of SCP-2083 is wearing shoes, the manager of the location will receive frequent text messages, including: SO SORRY SWEET SOLES SIXTEEN TIMES WE HAVE FAILED YOU PLEASE CALL BACK MISS U WE CAN BE BETTER WE ARE BEST MODELS PLEASE RETURN APPLICATION VERY HUNGRY FEED FAMILY LIVE BETTER JUST DO IT Addendum: On 9/18/20██, an SMS text message was sent to Site Director DeLeon from a number known to be connected to SCP-2083. It contained a blurry picture of a warehouse similar to SCP-2083, only containing pairs of spherical, fleshy protrusions instead of legs.

SCP-2084 | safe | close Info X SCP-2084: the end of all things to come This is where Anabasis stuff starts. Author: AndarielHalo Eat more of my SCPs. Eat them all. Also please eat some of these Anabasis Hub Probably the greatest story involving a pair of redheaded siblings whose infighting causes the end of the world Manna Charitable Foundation 2000 The sequel to the above, collaborationed with Dr Reach The Stuff Industry What happens when everyone around you at work is a complete idiot and so are you, but not only does no one get fired, but you actually turn a profit? I don't know, some stuff. When MCF and Stuff happen A fun story of incompetence 2/2084 LEVEL 2/2084 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-2084 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2084 is to be entirely covered by a rubber tent and marked as containing hazardous biological material within. All personnel entering SCP-2084 must undergo decontamination procedures before exiting. Entry is off-limits to all personnel without level 3 approval and equipped with a Level C hazmat suit. Description: SCP-2084 is a middle school located in █████, FL in the neighborhood of ████ ██████. The interior contains a pathogen capable of inducing auditory and visual hallucinations lasting between 1 - 60 seconds. Testing has shown the pathogen has been neutralized by an unknown antibody present within the school, indicating that the hallucinations are contingent upon SCP-2084 itself. Content of these hallucinations have been consistent between individuals, and logs of hallucinogenic incidents are filed below. Prior to ██/██/199█, the school building had been occupied, before sustaining significant damage in Hurricane ██████. The school had been condemned and remained abandoned until ██/██/200█. Demolition was slated for that date when SCP-2084 appeared on site the night before, leaving no trace of the pre-existing structure behind. SCP-2084 appeared recently abandoned, with electrical services still functioning upon reconnection. The layout is described as similar to that of ████ ██ ███ Middle School, which had previously occupied the lot ██ years before its demolition and subsequent replacement with another school building. Apart from an anachronistic style of architecture1, the building itself is unremarkable. Files relating to SCP-2084: Note: For the purpose of cross-referencing, none of the agents listened to or read transcripts of one another's logs until all four logs were on file. Audio logs from agents on-site were inconsistent with one another and the possibility of mind-altering effects was acknowledged, but the agents disagreed on what elements of their report reflected these effects. Agent Cortez's Report Close Log Date: 3/23/06 Time: 11:37 Stepped in and the first thing that hit me was the smell. Smells like a morgue. Everything mostly intact and clean. Certainly looks like [REDACTED] Middle, but missing some things, like elevators and fire alarms. Front desk has an old computer on it, has "Slow, love" typed on screen. Wait, strike that. Computer disappeared. Room's changed; there's books and papers strewn about on the floors. Calling in a potential cognitohazard. Date 3/23/06 Time: 14:02 Tested positive for a hallucinogen. Doctor said it wears off on its own, but could be neutralized on the spot. Decontaminated and I check out fine, ready to head back in. Not really like acid at all. Front desk how I left it, no computer, papers strewn about. Checking in on classrooms. Room 108. Looks—nope. Changed. Soon as you blink, things change. Keep that in mind for future exploration. Probably should have a video camera to see if it's just me or an actual illusion. Was about to say, it looks new and unused, then it changed; papers everywhere, desks overturned, lots of mold on the ceiling. Welcome to [REDACTED], Florida. Room 110. There's kids in here. One of them saw me and he's coming out. Hey, what're you doing? [No other sound is heard] I'm a hall monitor… Go on, back to your test. He's gone. Classroom's gone now. Kid said they were about to start a test. Room looked normal when I peeked in, but now it's got medical equipment everywhere. Maybe testing for head lice. Rooms are clear. Heading upstairs. One of the doors had a sign on it, but someone tore it in half. Looks like someone dropped a big bottle of something here, there's glass and dried liquid, sticky-looking. Smells rotten. Checking out the rooms now. Rooms are all clear up here. Stairwell… Stairwell I came up on was collapsed. No idea how I got up here. Stairwell on other end of the hall is intact, though. Most likely from there. Computer on front desk again. Still says "Slow, love" on it. Not touching it, but was tempted to put in "Sure thing, babe". Signing out. Agent Piper's Report Close Log Date: 3/24/06 Time: 08:01 Nothing unusual, looks like an old school. I'm kind of on edge, just waiting for some kind of boogin' to burst out and yell "Surprise, asshole!" Never had hallucinations before. Checking out one of the books… looks like a math book. Problems are all done, writing's in English. Heading down the halls now. Looking in room 129. The ceiling collapsed in it. A bunch of desks and chairs came tumbling down. Doesn't look like the room was occupied, so there's that. Right across from me—OH God! [Nervous laughter] I guess that's one of the things… Just saw someone in the doorway across from me, then they were gone in the blink of an eye. Checking out that room… odd. There's a bunch of cots here with IV stands next to them, like a medical room. I don't think IVs are typical in a middle school nurse's office. Looking down the hall, there's a bunch of lockers on the far wall. Hallway turns at a sharp angle to the next hallway. Dark and silent. I'm okay, though. [Groan and whimpering is heard, followed by a squeak in footsteps] Please don't let that be real… Oh God… there's a pile of bodies here. Children. Some adults. Stacked in a pile, some of them naked. It's not going away. Oh my God, it's not going away. Left to catch my breath… oh please, for fuck's sake, it's still here. It's not going away. I can't… I can't… [Heavy breathing, followed by the sound of vomiting]. It won't… it's still there. It smells… Agent Saisset's Report Close Log Date 4/2/06 Time: 06:54 I am at the front desk. Nothing unusual so far, except there is a computer powered on. It says, "Breathe in, strap on, enjoy yourself [REDACTED]" Oh it knows my first name, how charming. All the rooms here are empty, or filled with garbage. Hall turns sharply left to another, bigger hallway. Nothing here, but it's certainly bright. Is the electricity still working— Oh, it's a hallucination, I see! Children are coming down the hall towards me. One of them tripped and fell, ouch. Mm… he's not getting up. I don't think he tripped. Merde, he's gone. As soon as I took a step towards him. The light's gone as well. Room 115. Looks to be a computer lab. There are children in here, all ignoring me. I cannot hear any of them but it looks as though many are talking. One of the computers near me has the words "Feeling fine" typed in large letters on it. Strange room for vaccinations to take place. Out in the hallway, it is light again. The same scene plays out; children running, the one falling. I see now he indeed did not trip but was struck from behind, maybe hit with a rock or a bullet. This hallway smells like a used restroom and there is mildew all over the walls. [Agent Saisset yelps and stammers something incoherent. No other sound is heard beyond her breathing.] Turned the corner and saw someone standing in front of me. He is dressed like a doctor, and telling me I'm not supposed to be here, it's a quarantine zone. I don't know if this thing will pick up his voice, I— [pause]. Yes? No, no, I am on my phone. A cell phone. You know—argh. He is gone. This is tiresome. At front desk. Still smells like a restroom. The computer is gone, but there is a stack of books on the chair behind the desk. Was that always here? They're all textbooks, nothing unusual. Signing out. Agent Reekers' Report Close Log Date 4/8/06 Time: 18:15 Heading down the hall. Front area smelled like shit, even through the suit, but given all the mold and other crap all over the walls, that's nothing unusual. Room 129. Ceiling's collapsed. Debris from second floor's cluttered everywhere. No signs of life in here. Room 127. Same here. There's some kind of mold creeping out from under an overturned desk. At least I hope that's mold. Smells more like… no wait. Damn, I lost it. Room 125. Something was burning in here. Burning recently, I'd say. It's still kind of smoky. Can't pop my suit to check it out, though. Thought I heard someone behind me, but there was nothing there. Heading to the back. Ohhhhhh shit. There's a big pile of dead bodies back here. Looks fresh… Oh fuck! It's gone. The whole place cleared out. My suit must've breached, I'm not supposed to be seeing this shit. Date 4/9/06 Time: 09:00 We'll try this again… new suit, higher level. Checking out the rooms again. Room 128. Medical cots, IV stands beside each. Not seeing anything else in here. Back hall's empty. Heading upstairs. Stairwell was collapsed, had to use the one across the hall. Big stain on the floor as soon as you step out. Looks like a big glass bottle of something thick and viscous was dropped here. Still moist. Oh shit. There's a bunch of boys ahead, walking into a room. My suit's breached again, somehow, I'm seeing them again. Heading back down. Someone's at the front desk, on a computer. Fuck, they saw me. They're coming up… They just disappeared. He said "Sure thing, babe", then disappeared. Computer stayed behind. Looking at the screen, it says… "Are you alive?" [Sound of typing] Just responded, "No". And… computer just disappeared. Well fine, be like that. Having trouble opening the door… Door's jammed. Nice try, ghosties, but we have crowbars. Signing out. Addendum D-4: A report was filed by Agent Piper on behalf of an "Agent Locke", which all other agents reported as being familiar to them at the time. Foundation records do not indicate an "Agent Locke" matching the description given stationed on-site at any time. Contents of unknown agent's log are available to personnel with level 3 security access and above. Transcript is logged at end of file. LEVEL 3 ACCESS REQUIRED ''Agent Locke's'' Log Date 4/9/06 Time: 00:01 [Recording begins with background commotion, voices talking and shouting.] Status report. Situation has deteriorated significantly, as expected. Subjects aren't responding to vaccines. Best case scenario, asphyxiation within 2-3 minutes. Worst case… I don't know how to convey the horror. They keep moving. Twitching, jerking, some even standing upright for a moment, before collapsing in a heap. We have to burn them; they don't stop until they're ash. If you saw their corpses, you saw mercy. Symptoms consistent with what we've been seeing in east Asia. Internal hemorrhaging, vomiting, diarrhea, lack of sweating leading to hyperthermia. A new symptom's showing in the newer cases; the itching. It's not enough to just scratch your ass and be done with it; it's persistent, and it burns. Some of the kids strip naked, unable to bear even the slightest touch, and start scratching until they bleed. Then they scratch some more. Medical logs… Dante couldn't imagine anything this hellish. First you see their names, starting with the refugees. Name, age, sex, symptoms, prescription, prognosis… the survivors are checked off in blue. You can go a dozen pages without ever seeing blue. The handwriting changes. Newcomer doesn't bother mincing words: "Female, 31, death. Male, 13, death." I could almost respect the inhumanity of an enemy willing to target civilians with a bio-weapon like this. When we learned the insurgents fumbled this badly… it's not even pitiable. People like that… they're too low to be animals, too stupid to be monsters, and too far gone to learn better. No. This isn't gonna work. Yesterday it was just booms and cracks of gunfire. Today you can differentiate between their shouts and ours. They'll overrun us by nightfall. Probably too late for these people, but we have to start evacuating now if we're going to salvage anything from this. If we're lucky, Anabasis will fire before the enemy overruns the place. If not, we'll have the advantage while they're trying to figure out what the fuck happened. Maybe they'll stir up enough of a shitstorm on the other side that we won't even have to deal with them. I hope this works. God save our race. Signing out. Addendum D-5: A fifth expedition into SCP-2084 was scheduled, but was delayed due to concerns regarding the hallucinogens within the building. Shortly thereafter, the fifth expedition was undertaken. No anomalous hallucinations took place, though an intact computer hard drive was recovered. Materials found on the drive are logged below. 2084-1: E-mail correspondences 2084-2: Undated IM correspondences DATA EXPUNGED Footnotes 1.

SCP-2085 | esoteric-class | Item #: SCP-2085 Anomalous Organization Anomalous Human (Modified) Uncategorized Anomaly Hazard Rating: Yellow Standard Containment Policies: 6x one-person residential module (wireless signal jammers installed) Amenity restriction (electronics) Dietary restriction: liquid diet (SCP-2085-B, see Document 2085-B-MED.) Dietary restriction: vegetarian (SCP-2085-A-1 and SCP-2085-A-3) Bi-weekly psychological review (Dr. Singh, Dr. Summers) Once-monthly group phone call, supervised. Special Containment Procedures: No attempts to isolate or remove SCP-2085-1 are authorized until SCP-2085-B's containment implants can be effectively replicated. In the case of SCP-2085-1 overcoming SCP-2085-B's containment implants, SCP-2085-B and SCP-2085-1 are to be terminated immediately. SCP-2085-A specimens are to be sedated and restrained before removal from containment chambers or in any situation requiring entry to the containment chamber. In the event of successful removal and containment of SCP-2085-1, [DATA EXPUNGED] Description: SCP-2085 is a militant anarchist organization consisting of six cybernetically-enchanced individuals (A-1 through A-5 and B) operating under the name Kuroi Usagi Shidan (“Black Rabbit Company”). SCP-2085 has been linked, through what member testimony can be verified, to numerous criminal and terrorist incidents occurring between 20██ and 20██ throughout east Asia, southeastern Asia, Australia and Oceania, and western North America. SCP-2085’s base of operations, if extant, is unknown, as are its connections to any other groups. The recovered assets of the group consist solely of equipment held upon recovery. The existence of other assets is presumed, but such caches have not been found. Verified operations include smuggling, theft, assault, vandalism, kidnapping, extortion, property damage, possession of fissile materials, corporate sabotage, embezzlement, identity theft, fraud, copyright infringement, piracy, possession of narcotics with intent to sell, possession transport and sale of anomalous items, and tax evasion. The targets of these operations are primarily organized crime, hate groups or groups otherwise classified as Of Interest; strikes against governmental, military or police targets, while enthusiastically supported by the members of SCP-2085, appear to be much less opportunistic than their standard activities. SCP-2085’s operations are typically organized to minimize the chance of civilian casualties and to maximize material and morale damage to their target. All offers made by the Foundation regarding cooperative agreements have been unilaterally rejected by all members of SCP-2085. Three of six explicitly stated death was preferable to working alongside the Foundation. SCP-2085-A SCP-2085-A subjects are five adult female augmented humans, designated SCP-2085-A-1 through SCP-2085-A-5. Subjects are genetic chimeras, each with an estimated 6-10 different gene donors. Subjects are fluent in Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, Korean, Russian, and English, with additional languages varying by individual. All subjects display behaviors typical of autism spectrum disorder. Subjects display an array of genetic and cybernetic enhancements, including: Cosmetic genetic splices of Felis catus physiology, including ears, tails, and hair coloration. Tails are prehensile and capable of holding small objects. Grip pads on hands and feet. Retractable fingertip blades. Ocular implants with thermal vision, heads-up display, and recording functionality. Carbon-nanoweave muscle fiber augmentation and reinforced endoskeleton Brain-computer interface with internal hard drive Wireless communication suite with local tactical network Drug glands providing pain dampening, heightened sensory awareness, and altered pheromones. These implants are uniform in design and show minimal signs of modification after installation. Some cosmetic alterations have been made more recently. See Document SCP-2085-A-EXP for further information. SCP-2085-B SCP-2085-B is an adult male human bearing the following cybernetic and genetic enhancements: Adaptation of the gastrointestinal tract for a liquid diet. Esophageal input port and waste output port are integrated into the suit. Modifications to regulate sweat, reduce abrasion damage from extended suit usage, and aid in skin regeneration. Removal of genitalia. Replacement of 11 missing digits on hands and feet. Internal drug pump, typically used for painkillers. Containment implants for SCP-2085-1. See Document 2085-B-EXP for extended information on all known enhancements. These modifications were accrued over a period of several years (the oldest stated to be installed in 20██ and the most recent dating to three weeks before containment) from multiple sources (none of which have yet been disclosed), and are of significantly lower quality than those used by SCP-2085-A. Many parts of the SCP-2085-1 containment implants have been replaced or modified. SCP-2085-B is in generally poor health, suffering from vitamin D deficiency (now lessened due to changes in diet), acute radiation syndrome (symptoms indicate at least three doses of ~2 Gy), and heavy scarring from severe and repeated skin ulceration. SCP-2085-B is fluent in English and limited Japanese and is generally cooperative with staff. SCP-2085-B wears an S1035 ACES1 at all times, generally accompanied by a bathrobe and red felt wizard's hat. SCP-2085-B has been permitted to retain possession of these items to encourage further cooperation. SCP-2085-1 SCP-2085-1 is a fibrous mass of self-replicating carbon nanomaterials within SCP-2085-B’s chest cavity, with growths protruding into the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, spinal cord, and left lung. The growth of the SCP-2085-1 and its consumption of SCP-2085-B’s body tissues has been impeded through the addition of various containment implants used to sever communication between growth sections and control nodes and counter the replication process. SCP-2085-1’s rate of replication without the influence of these containment implants is unknown: SCP-2085-1’s periods of activity occur, on average, once every three months. The process lasts for up to fifteen minutes and causes SCP-2085-B intense pain. SCP-2085-B has claimed to communicate with SCP-2085-1 during these activity periods, though this claim has not been verified. Recovery Report The Foundation initially became aware of SCP-2085 on 08/13/20██, after the execution killings of four members of ███████████████████████████████████████ in [REDACTED] Texas2. Among those killed was Agent ███████, who served as a federal liaison for the Special Personnel Procurement Program. State and federal law-enforcement were deployed, making initial contact with SCP-2085 at 16:47 the following day. Recovery agents were deployed after confirmation of anomaly. Containment confirmed at 0344 on 08/17/20██ in [REDACTED], Wyoming and transported to Site-███ for processing. At the time of capture, total casualties caused by SCP-2085 numbered [REDACTED]. Timeline of Motions Filed Regarding SCP-2085 08/18/20██: Internal Security Department files a motion with the Board of Project Review requesting immediate termination of the subjects on the grounds of enemy combatant status and that they not qualify for the protections of a contained anomaly, citing precedent in similar combat interactions with members of GOI-███, GOI-███, and GOI-███. 08/25/20██: Motion struck down: incomplete threat assessment of anomaly 08/25/20██: Internal Security Department files motion with Directors’ Committee requesting transfer of subjects to ISD custody from Residential Research Department, citing SCP-2085 as active security threat and anti-Foundation ideological hazard. 09/04/20██: Director’s Committee fails to reach 2/3 majority. Case dismissed. 09/04/20██: Internal Security Department appeals Committee ruling. 09/12/20██: Dr. ███████ and research team present preliminary observations to Directors’ Committee. 09/15/20██: Director’s Committee fails to reach 2/3 majority.

Entry Interview Researcher ██████: <Good morning. My name is ██████, I’ll be running your interview today. Please state your name for the record.> [Subject sits down at interview table.] SCP-2085-A-1: I speak English. Researcher ██████: Ah. Of course. Please state your name. SCP-2085-A-1: Major Motoko Kusanagi3, representing the Black Rabbit Company. Researcher ██████: And you are the commander of this organization, correct? SCP-2085-A-1: Until someone else is elected to the position, yes. Researcher ██████: Noted. Now, If you would give me an overview of your organization, please – goals, history of activity, and so on. SCP-2085-A-1: [Pause. Subject looks confused for a moment before laughing] Researcher ██████: What’s funny? SCP-2085-A-1: We killed at least a dozen of your people and led you on a four-state car chase, and you’re tossing me softball questions over coffee and donuts. You’re not the US government. Researcher ██████: Wait, hold on – did you receive an orientation packet? It would have been a dark grey folder with a logo and “New Resident Orientation” printed on the front. SCP-2085-A-1: I have not. You’ve given me three sets of clothing and a toiletry kit. Researcher ██████: I’m terribly sorry, that should have been included with your things.4 I represent a non-governmental research organization that deals with unusual circumstances such as yourself. I’ll make sure you get a packet as soon as we’re done here, just rest assured that you and your associates are safe. SCP-2085-A-1: In the loving bosom of the men in black. Researcher ██████: It’s not as bad as you think, I promise. SCP-2085-A-1: A prison is no less a prison for the softness of its bedsheets. Researcher ██████: Mm. We’re getting off topic, I think. You were about to tell me about the aim of your organization? SCP-2085-A-1: Escape. Until then, direct action towards the destruction of fascism and the dismantling of the capitalist and colonial structures that support it. Everything else is commentary. [Pause] You could let us go, you know. Researcher ██████: I’m afraid that’s not an option right now. SCP-2085-A-1: There’s a door right there, all you need to do is unlock it. We’ll see ourselves out. Researcher ██████: I’m sorry, but- SCP-2085-A-1: But they’ll shoot you for it, won’t they? Researcher ██████: [Silence] SCP-2085-A-1: I thought so. Researcher ██████: Is there anything else you’d like to say? SCP-2085-A-1: [Pause] This isn’t our home; we were just born here. The open road still softly calls ‘Second star to the right, straight on till morning’. <End log> DOB: Unknown POB: Unknown DOC: 08/17/20██ Height: 209 cm Weight: 124 kg Hair: Black/white bicolor Eyes: Green Other Notes: Generally positive in interactions with Foundation personnel and willing to answer questions. Accuracy of statements is questionable, it is unknown if this is deliberate misinformation. Has removed sleeves from all provided uniforms. Entry Interview Researcher ██████: Good morning. My name is ██████, I’ll be running your entry interview. Let’s start with your name. SCP-2085-A-2: Milly Thompson. Wait! Shit! Used that one last time. Noi! Call me Noi. Researcher ██████: Ah. Well, thank you miss, uh, Noi. Now, before we get started with the official questions, my associates wanted me to ask why you call yourselves the Black Rabbit Company. They were expecting black cat. SCP-2085-A-2: Well there’s a rabbit on the moon, not a cat.5 And there was already a Black Cat Company out there when we were coming up with the name. Some French art burglars or something. Researcher ██████: I see. SCP-2085-A-2: You’re not the first person to ask, don’t worry. I wanted to call it the Cheesecake Gunshow Brigade and that got shot down. Researcher ██████: Shame, I like that one. On to the real questions: What’s your position within the Black Rabbit Company? SCP-2085-A-2: [Flexes arm, smiles] I use my absolute god damn enormity to beat the shit out of fascists. Researcher ██████: Thoroughly effective, no doubt. Can you tell me anything about the Black Rabbit Company’s activities prior to your stay here? SCP-2085-A-2: Well you already know about the car chase…Have you talked to the Major yet? Researcher ██████: We have. She didn’t give us much in the way of specifics. SCP-2085-A-2: Hm, okay, so…we do a little bit of everything, I guess. Assassinations, heists, security, deliveries, birthday parties… Researcher ██████: Birthday parties? SCP-2085-A-2: It was great! Minnie-Mae went as the magician and she somehow managed to get Asuka and Rei6 into clown suits as her assistants, I have no idea how she pulled that off. Anyway, they had just cut the cake when the skinheads showed up and the gunfight started… Researcher ██████: This was a child’s birthday party, correct? Am I understanding this correctly? SCP-2085-A-2: Yeah! The kids fucking loved it. Researcher ██████: [Long pause] I don’t know how to respond to that. SCP-2085-A-2: [Laughs] You’ll get used to it. I can keep going if you’d like – got nothing but time to kill. Researcher ██████: Sure. SCP-2085-A-2: Okay so, there was the time we were up in Kamchatka and breaking into this old Soviet bunker, right? Place hadn’t been opened up in over thirty years and was overrun by psychics and they’re just sitting on some A-grade enriched plutonium. Wizard managed to talk them into a deal and get us on the inside. The black lotus dust we were selling them was all fake, of course, but they figured it out before we could get out and so everyone starts blasting… [SCP-2085-A-2 continues in this manner for three hours and fifty-three minutes. Events described were, in order: Raid on a sealed Soviet-era bunker with presumed GRU-P connections, breakup of a sex trafficking ring in Shanghai, a spate of antipolice harassment incidents under the guise of a San Francisco pizza delivery service, a raid on a white supremacist militia in Oregon, the bombing of multiple crypto-currency farms, ransomware attacks against Silicon valley tech startups, and the declaration of SCP-2085-A-4 as Queen of Thailand.] <End log> DOB: Unknown POB: Unknown DOC: 08/17/20██ Height: 185 cm Weight: 79 kg Hair: Brown mackerel tabby Eyes: Yellow Other Notes: Currently shows signs of depression due to extended isolation. Potentially willing to divulge sensitive information out of concern for fellow group members. Entry interview Researcher ██████: Good afternoon. My name is ██████, I’ll be doing your entry interview. Please state your name for the record. SCP-2085-A-3: Aisha Clan-Clan. Researcher ██████: And your position within the Company? SCP-2085-A-3: Field medic, translator, support crew. Researcher ██████:What can you tell me about your friend Wizard’s condition? SCP-2085-A-3: Oh, that…Wizard always says he doesn’t want to make us worry about him. But we know what to do in case he has an episode. Researcher ██████: And what do you do when that happens? SCP-2085-A-3: We get him his toolkit, and if we need to do anything else he tells us then. Most of the time he can do it himself, but sometimes he needs more help than we can do in the field. When that happens, we have to contact some extra help. Researcher ██████: Can you tell me anything about these people? SCP-2085-A-3: Uh, no. Not really. They keep to themselves. Researcher ██████: All right. If you could tell me anything else about his condition, please. SCP-2085-A-3: Wizard says Red talks to him, whispers all this horrible stuff to him when it’s growing. That it’s just going to eat away with him until there’s nothing left, and that that’s what going to happen to everyone eventually… it makes sense, for a cancer. I haven’t heard it. Researcher ██████: Can you tell me anything about Wizard’s history? What he did before joining the Company? SCP-2085-A-3: Not really. He mentioned a while ago that he had a family, but he never brought it up again. They probably think he’s dead or that he ran off or something. He doesn’t really have anything left from back then, so we’re his family now. A man doesn’t toss his old life away if there was something worth keeping hold of. <End log> Written statement by SCP-2085-A-3, ██/██/20██: Kill us already. If you want our eyes and bones and the computers in our brains? Take it all, I don’t care. It doesn’t matter. But get it over with already. Kill us or let us go, and I don’t care if we’re thrown out blind and crippled because at least then we’re free of you. You give us three meals a day and a bed and a few books, and you pretend like it justifies locking us in here like animals in cages or dolls on a shelf. You learned how to be polite, how to dress up in labcoats and say please and thank you and pretend like you have souls. Who do you think you’re fooling? We know who you are, you and your kin. You’re all the fucking same, no matter if you say its for state or god or self-interest. You just like hurting people. You’ll build an empire on corpses and call it a garden. After all we’ve done, all we’ve been able to survive, we’re right back in the place we escaped. Just pretty women in boxes. We were going to get to space. We were going to build the ship, and we’d go all the way up past the sky and look down at the world, and we would have won. We would have fucking won. We would be alive. And we could show everyone that it’s okay, that they can be free too, that they can be alive. We’d help them. And now… nothing. You’ve won, okay? You’ve fucking won. I just want to see my sisters again. Incident 2085-A-3-2: ██/██/20██ - SCP-2085-A-3 reports self-harm and suicidal ideation to Dr. Singh during psychological review. Crisis plan implemented. SCP-2085-A-3 enrolled in art therapy course at recommendation of Dr. Singh. Incident 2085-A-3-3: ██/██/20██ - SCP-2085-A-3 makes emergency phone call to SCP-2085-A-2 (as per crisis plan), lasting one hour and nine minutes. Follow-up phone calls have continued according to crisis plan schedule. DOB: Unknown POB: Unknown DOC: 08/17/20██ Height: 203 cm Weight: 76 kg Hair: Red longhair Eyes: Orange Other Notes: Extremely hostile. Has refused to cooperate in any way. Confirmed by other members as cyberwarfare specialist Entry Interview Researcher ██████: Please state your name for the record. SCP-2085-A-4: [Raises middle finger of right hand] Get on your knees and suck it. Researcher ██████: I understand your frustration, but cooperation will benefit you in the long run. Please state your name. SCP-2085-A-4: [Raises middle finger of other hand] I said, get my goddamn dick in your goddamn mouth and suck it, you inbred bootlicker. Researcher ██████: If you require some extra time to calm yourself then - SCP-2085-A-4: [Interrupting] Let me use smaller words. You [Points at Researcher ██████] go [Mimes walking two fingers across the opposite palm] fuck [Makes ‘arm of honor’ gesture] your mother [Makes wide circular gesture] in the ass. [Stands up, turns, points to rear] Researcher ██████: I will give you one more chance. Your cooperation will determine the privileges you’ll receive in the future. State your name. [Short pause. SCP-2085-A-4 seems to contemplate the offer] SCP-2085-A-4: Dio Brando. Researcher ██████: I suppose that will do. Now, Ms. Dio- [SCP-2085-A-4 punches observation divider, creating a large crack in the pane. Subject smiles.] [SCP-2085-A-4 draws back fist, flexes fingers. Punches divider again, causing more cracks. Subject laughs.] [Researcher ██████ activates lockdown procedures. Protective shutter is lowered, aerosol sedatives are pumped into containment unit. SCP-2085-A-4 continues punching barrier, as Researcher ██████ exits interview room. SCP-2085-A-4: [Muffled screaming] SCP-2085-A-4: CUNT! Incident 2085-A-4-11: ██/██/20██ - SCP-2085-A-4 claimed willingness to provide video logs of the group’s former operations in exchange for the lifting of sanctions placed upon the subject. The offer was accepted: however, due to SCP-2085-A-4’s behavioral history, the provided file was accessed in an isolated network by D-class personnel in the case of viral, memetic, or cognitohazardous agents. The provided video file, titled backup.avi, consisted of a two-hour long video of a feces-filled toilet, presumably recorded from SCP-2085-A-4’s point of view, accompanied by an audio loop of the folk song “Korobeiniki”, as performed by the Red Army Choir. The contained audio-visual cognitohazard induced anaphylaxis and exudative diarrhea in the observing D-Class subject. D-Class subject died four minutes after initial access of the file from blood loss and oxygen deprivation. File was disposed of without incident. Sanctions placed upon SCP-2085-A-4 have remained in place.

Nose is deformed from numerous breaks. Entry Interview Researcher ██████: Please state your name for the record. SCP-2085-A-5: Molly Millions. Researcher ██████: All right. What’s your role within the Company? SCP-2085-A-5: I put holes in heads using very fast bits of lead from a great distance. Researcher ██████: Can you tell me about the Company’s prior activities? SCP-2085-A-5: No. Researcher ██████: Can you tell me about Wizard? SCP-2085-A-5: No. Researcher ██████: Can you tell me about Red? SCP-2085-A-5: No. Researcher ██████: Are you willing to answer any questions at all? SCP-2085-A-5: No. Researcher ██████: Dare I ask why you agreed to an interview? SCP-2085-A-5: I’m bored. Wasting your time is fun. [Researcher ██████ ends interview without further comment.] Incident 2085-A-5-1: ██/██/20██ – The following note was given to staff by SCP-2085-A-5. It is the first communication between SCP-2085-A-5 and staff since the entry interview. The note was as follows: I take a hammer and I break my legs, I break ‘em for the better. Incident 2085-A-5-2: ██/██/20██ - Upon receiving breakfast, SCP-2085-A-5 sat down and proceeded to sing “Happy Birthday” before eating. Of note is the use of “us” for the recipient. Incident 2085-A-5-3: ██/██/20██ – At 0433, SCP-2085-A-5 stared directly into Camera 4, without blinking, for three minutes ten seconds before saying “I thought what I’d do was, I’d pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes. Or should I?” Incident 2085-A-5-4: ██/██/20██ – At 2030, SCP-2085-A-5 began playing music through implanted speakers, loud enough to be heard outside the containment chamber. This continued for the next eighteen hours. SCP-2085-A-5 slept through the entire incident. DOB: Unknown POB: Unknown DOC: 08/17/20██ Height: 169 cm Weight: 68kg Hair: None Eyes: Brown Other Notes: Cooperative with staff. Nationality cannot be confirmed. Age cannot be confirmed. <Log begins> Researcher ██████: Excuse me, my name is Researcher ██████. Could I ask you a few questions? SCP-2085-B: Mm? Oh. Yeah. Sure. Hold on a tic. [SCP-2085-B puts on bathrobe and wizard hat, moves chair to interview window, and sits down] SCP-2085-B: There we go. Ask away. Researcher ██████: All right. First, we were wondering if you’d be able to tell us about your history: your name, where you’re from, basic information like that. SCP-2085-B: Uh… I’m a space wizard, I come from space. Researcher ██████: That’s not particularly helpful, sir. SCP-2085-B: [shrugs] Call me Major Tom, if you’d like. It really isn’t important. I’m just a guy with a hat. If Joe Everyman and John Doe were a gay couple, I would be the nameless neighbor. Researcher ██████: I see. With that out of the way, we were wondering if you could tell us about your associates. How you met, how the Company formed, and so on. SCP-2085-B: Interesting story there. I was running around trying to fix this shit, [taps chest] scraping by with implants from some pretty shady characters. One of them turned out to do custom jobs for corporate execs who wanted some muscle or rich perverts who wanted sex toys. I was at the clinic to get some new parts, and when I'm going through the installation process BOOM! Big explosion and those five come barging out guns blazing. I start booking it with my chest half open, because what else do you do? And then there’s a lot of scrambling around trying not to get shot by the guy’s business partners, and I sorta just end up trailing along as they flee the scene. Then we steal a boat and high-tail it out of Japan. And then everything falls together. The Company, me. We’re out there on the ocean, stargazing and stuffing ourselves with instant ramen and cheap beer and for the first time in ages any of us are somewhere we want to be. [Pause] You better be treating them well. Researcher ██████: We’re doing everything we can. SCP-2085-B: Good. Researcher ██████: Could you explain to us the entity currently living inside you? SCP-2085-B: Ah. Red. There’s a lot to unpack. Researcher ██████: We have time. SCP-2085-B: Red is…I don’t know. A von-neumann probe? Some kind of god-thing cast down out of the heavens? I don’t know. It was inside a meteor and I was the first person on the scene. It was, or will be, immensely powerful. Kardashev scale powerful. I’m afraid that this is mostly speculation. I’m working off what I get when its dreams drift into mine, or when it gets active enough to try and talk directly. Researcher ██████: You can communicate with it? SCP-2085-B: No. It’s one way, for now, at least. I don’t think it can hear me. It just rants, mashes everything together. Researcher ██████: And what does it say to you? SCP-2085-B: Not so much words as just the…feeling of it all. A lot of it I can’t understand, but… all right: It’s a cancer. It grows, and grows, it eats and grows and gets more complex until whatever it's living in starts breaking down – but it will outlive its host. It’ll keep going; more food, more complex food. It dreams of a universe that’s been forced into a final orderly shape where it can devour all it is possible to consume and so glutted on the universe floats down a perfect river of entropy until there is nothing left, forever. It can do nothing but leech and wait for the end. But it’s locked in a race against that same river for who gets to eat more of the pie, and it’s being stonewalled. It hates us. Humanity. We’re uneaten food going to waste and we are so close and it can’t get to us. Our existence is an affront, a mar on its perfect universe. It hates me most of all, I think. I keep on going, and every second I stay alive and Red stays suppressed, that’s energy down the drain that it can’t ever get back. I think it might be afraid that it might lose. I don’t think it’s ever met resistance before. It tries to bargain with me, I think. It’s not good at it – it just alternates between threatening more pain or offering some sort of perpetuation of consciousness. I don’t think it cares which I choose, just that I break. I read a story once, where there was a little red egg that can give you exactly what you want the most. And the cost is what you love best. That’s Red. Waiting, right in here [taps chest] for me to take that deal. It’s called my bluff, and I intend to prove it wrong. Researcher ██████: Mmmm. One last question: why the costume? SCP-2085-B: This? Just a symbol. A super-hero thing. Easier to believe in than a person, most of the time. Symbols are simple, people are messy. People can let you down. The world makes it difficult for people to believe in people, so we make do with symbols. Researcher ██████: And what do you want people to believe in? SCP-2085-B: What people could be. What they can do. That it doesn’t have to end like this. That we can make something better. Be something better. That we can keep going after we get the shit kicked out of us. That’s easy to say. You take a look outside and we’re all insane; just a bunch of evil, angry apes murdering each other on a little ball of dirt spinning pointlessly through nothing, doomed to a brief hiccup of existence before we extinguish ourselves. And in our brief glimmer of awareness, with all the beauty of the cosmos arrayed before us, we chose to build a meatgrinder out of our broken dreams and locked ourselves inside, content to sit in our box and sit there staring at the walls, floating down the river of entropy until we die. That’s what we’re fighting against. [Lengthy pause] I’ve had six months to live for over five years now, and I don’t want to meet curtain call with nothing to show for it. Every day I wake up is borrowed time that I can’t pay back, and eventually it’s going to just cut to black and if it’s not today then it might as well be tomorrow. They’re setting the world on fire, out there. Gunning down kids in the street, stuffing folks with nowhere to go behind fences like they’re cattle. Figuring out new ways to own the ideas in your head while the topsoil blows away and the groundwater dries up. I can’t save the world on my own but I have to do something. [Pause] I’m fucking terrified, you know? Scared of dying, scared of living to see the future. But…it’s easier with them around. [Pause] I want to watch the sun rise from orbit. Me and the girls, watching the sun come up. Then I can die. I can die a free man and maybe folks will say I was a good man, and the girls will launch my body into the sun. Send me back to stardust. [Pause] Yeah. That’ll be a good way to go. [Pause] In that moment, I will be lifted away from this wretched place and be free at last, and my soul will rejoice with all the brightness of the heavens. Second star to the right. Straight on till morning. You know how it goes. <End log> Footnotes 1. Advanced Crew Escape Suit 2.

SCP-2086 | keter | Item #: SCP-2086 Special Containment Procedures: News reports in all major towns and cities are to be monitored for missing persons that had recently or regularly used public transport. Agents are to be dispatched to high-threat regions on a semi-regular basis. All recently discovered SCP-2086 colonies are to be condemned and demolished with chemical explosives. Standard media suppression tactics are to be applied during this entire procedure. As of this writing, five specimens of SCP-2086 are in Foundation custody. All specimens are stored in what had previously been an aircraft hanger. Because of their short lifespans and high reproduction rates, the number of SCP-2086 instances in Foundation custody shifts regularly. Terminated specimens formerly in Foundation custody are to be moved to a specialized cold storage container at Site-██ for study. Description: SCP-2086 is a species of arthropod that resembles various makes, models, and brandings of public transport vehicles, typically buses. Mature SCP-2086 instances weigh approximately 17000kg, although this number can vary greatly. Juveniles typically weigh less than 200kg. A newborn specimen of SCP-2086 can be expected to grow to full size within one week. On average, SCP-2086 specimens live twelve to fifteen days, with females producing up to twenty offspring after reaching reproduction age at approximately eight days. Mature instances of SCP-2086 do not feed, instead living off of nutrients consumed as juveniles. However, only mature instances of SCP-2086 display foraging behaviors. When foraging, SCP-2086 are almost indistinguishable from standard automobiles, although closer examinations reveal the steel, wood, plastic, and glass to be a specialized form of chitin. Vital organs such as the heart, brain, and stomach are stored beneath the flooring of SCP-2086's inner chamber. A human corpse, preserved in a shellac-like substance, typically serves as the decoy driver of wild SCP-2086 instances. Fibrous appendages protrude into the corpse. SCP-2086 instances use these fibers to manipulate the corpse, providing a more life-like appearance. SCP-2086 instances can unravel their ‘roofs’ into wings that are capable of lifting the entire organism in flight, which is their standard method of locomotion when not foraging. In addition, the ‘wheels’ can unravel into long, grey or black legs while the headlights appear to serve as bioluminescent optical organs. The appendages of SCP-2086 instances are abnormally apt at fine manipulation when compared to other species of arthropod. Specimens have been observed building crude shelters with the materials located at their nesting grounds. SCP-2086 typically nest in abandoned junk and scrap yards. Juvenile instances in the wild have been observed removing bus stop signposts and relocating them, typically in a route that leads back to the local colony. Accidental civilian observation of SCP-2086 instances engaging in this activity is minimized due to the significantly smaller size of juvenile specimens. The mature instances of SCP-2086 will drive along the route laid by the juveniles, picking up human passengers. Once a significant number of humans board an instance of SCP-2086, the organism will release a substance similar to chloroform to incapacitate its prey. Upon returning to the colony, juvenile SCP-2086 instances will enter the mature instance's internal chamber. Each passenger is then forcefully removed from the mature instance by a juvenile. The juvenile SCP-2086 instance will proceed to force the human through a sphincter located under their hood, linking to where the steering wheel and driver's seat is typically located in mature specimens. Once consumed, hair-like appendages attached to the driver's seat will pierce the trapped human's body. These appendages serve as feeding tubes, draining blood from the prey. Once the prey has been drained of blood, the feeding tubes will begin to secrete a saline solution into the corpse. The internal compartment will then begin to fill with a shellac-like substance, preserving the corpse. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2086" by MorgiePie, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2087 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2087 Containment Procedures: Pursuant to Causal Boundary Agreement 04234a, the Foundation shall not engage in initial attempts to contain instances of SCP-2087-01. Instead, designated Foundation monitors shall radioactively tag instances of SCP-2087-01 and monitor, pending the instance’s self-containment at a Foundation-designated facility. Upon self-containment, the Foundation is to arrange living quarters which correspond, insofar as it is practicable, to the transboundary containment areas. In the event that an instance of SCP-2087-01 fails to self-contain within 48 hours of radioactive dye administration, Foundation personnel shall contact the Intercausal Liason Office, institute a 70m cordon around all areas habitually visited by SCP-2087-01, and institute broad-spectrum amnestic therapy at all incident sites as necessary. No attempt is to be made to contain until confirmation of noncontainment is received from the Foundation Intercausal Liason office. WARNING: By order of O5-03, intercausal liason activities related to SCP-2087 are presently suspended. For more information and associated documents, consult SCP-2087-CN-34a. In addition, the Foundation shall attempt to contain all radioactively tagged individuals determined by cross-boundary containment partners to be instances of SCP-2087-02. Individuals determined to be instances of SCP-2087-02 shall be contained notwithstanding the presence or absence of overt anomalous features; radiotagging shall be considered sufficient evidence of anomalous events. Description: SCP-2087 [formerly classified SCP-████, SCP-████, and SCP-████] is an anomalous causal phenomenon caused by incomplete divergence of adjacent timelines. To date, all identified divergences have affected individuals. For theoretical considerations, see Two Men With the Same Past: Anomalous Causal Couplings in Objective Bennett Spacetimes, [REFERENCE OMITTED]. SCP-2087-01 consists of individuals causally coupled to adjacent timelines. In all recorded cases, the divergence results from the individual's death in some, but not all, adjacent timelines. Accordingly, most affected individuals are distinguishable by the injuries which resulted in their death. All individuals, including those who did not die with visible injuries, exhibit variable causal synchronization with adjacent nonfatal timelines. These instances may be recognized by their characteristic "jerking," "snapping," or "blinking" movement. Inconsistent causal synchronization between SCP-2087-01 instances and the primary timeline renders conventional containment strategies impractical. Accordingly, causal contact between primary-timeline and divergent-timeline Foundations is permitted to mitigate consensus risk.1 Under the terms of Causal Boundary Agreement 04234a, the Foundation may tag individuals exhibiting signs of anomalous causal contact with Strontium-90 dye. Any such individuals are to be taken into custody by transboundary Foundation agents and stored until the causal coupling lapses or the affected individual dies. SCP-2087-02 consists of individuals tagged by divergent-timeline Foundations for containment. Individuals tagged for reciprocal containment are generally overtly nonanomalous; however, two affected individuals have exhibited symptoms of bilateral causal synchronization. Affected individuals are to be contained until no longer radioactively tagged. Addenda: + DOCUMENT SCP-2087-CHD-9: CASE HISTORY, SCP-2087-01-R5 - DOCUMENT SCP-2087-CHD-9: CASE HISTORY, SCP-2087-01-R5 DOCUMENT SCP-2087-CHD-9: SCP-2087 CASE HISTORIES SUBJECT: Deborah A. ███████; SCP-2087-01-R5 CAUSE OF DEATH: Automotive accident. GROSS ANATOMICAL SURVEY: Subject pronounced dead due to pedestrian/automotive accident at 11:43 PM on 07/09/1974. Initial physical trauma resulted in the avulsion of the right leg at the hip socket and amputation of left leg at the knee, blowout fracture of left eye socket, crushing trauma to left temporal bone, and compound fracture of right humerus. At initial observation, body was non-anomalous, and was transported to the University of Miami medical center for disposition. CASE HISTORY: On 07/11/1974, subject's upper torso was discovered, apparently conscious, in an unoccupied room the University of Miami intensive care unit. Medical personnel initially attempted to provide supportive medical care. Subject was pronounced dead a second time at 8:41 AM on 07/11/1974. Medical personnel contacted local police, who forwarded the contact to the UIU. Foundation UIU embeds intercepted the case file and commenced containment in situ. On 07/13/1974, subject's legs were observed to return to the University of Miami medical center, collide with an exterior door, and commence movement consistent with a brisk walk. After 38 seconds, legs disappeared. After 17 seconds, legs reappeared in a second-floor interior stairwell, ascending toward the intensive care unit. The Foundation took measures to restrain subject's torso. By 7:21 AM on 07/13/1974, legs had rejoined subject's body. Due to poor causal synchronization with primary spacetime, containment was lost at 8:15 AM on 07/14/1974. Request for intercausal containment was escalated to O5-03, and approved due to unacceptable consensus risk. Intercausal containment effort proved successful, and containment was resumed on 07/30/1974. + DOCUMENT SCP-2087-CHD-9: CASE HISTORY, SCP-2087-01-D3 - DOCUMENT SCP-2087-CHD-9: CASE HISTORY, SCP-2087-01-D3 DOCUMENT SCP-2087-CHD-9: SCP-2087 CASE HISTORIES SUBJECT: Subject Unidentified; SCP-2087-01-D3 CAUSE OF DEATH: Unknown GROSS ANATOMICAL SURVEY: Subject presumed dead by 7/13/2003; body not recovered prior to activation as SCP-2087-01. Body has suffered extraordinary premortem damage. Skull, right arm, and torso distal to the 2nd thoracic vertebra are missing and presumed lost. Four molars, portions of the right orbit, and 300 mL of blood appear, appropriately positioned, in the region typically occupied by the head. CASE HISTORY: On 07/12/2003, routine monitoring of local newspapers alerted the Foundation to the case. A monitoring cordon was erected, and surveillance was commenced on 7/13/2003. First contact was initiated at 6:30 AM █/██/███, when subject arrived at the exterior door of a commercial building in ██████, UK. Subject entered building, colliding with multiple storefront displays, and proceeded to a third-floor office. Subject then engaged in typical workday activities and exited the building at 5:58 PM. After primary containment, subject exited the building, proceeded 1.15 km northwest of initial site, and desynchronized with adjacent timeline. Containment was lost until subject reappeared in the Foundation-designated containment zone. On further investigation, subject could not be positively identified as a former or current resident of the building. Identity is still undetermined. + DOCUMENT SCP-2087-ICL-1: INCIDENT REVIEW AND STANDING ORDERS - DOCUMENT SCP-2087-ICL-1: INCIDENT REVIEW AND STANDING ORDERS FINAL INCIDENT REVIEW: SCP-2087-ICL-1 BACKGROUND: On 01/03/2012, Foundation distributed radiation detectors returned approximately 41m positive Strontium-90 signals, distributed consistently with human population patterns. Per sampling protocol, ambient radiation detectors were brought offline, cycled, and returned to service, and transboundary contact was suspended until final resolution by the O5 council. Post-cycle readings exceeded operating parameters; post-exposure sampling three weeks later found that 21% of the human population received between 2 and 7 mSv of radiation exposure. On 01/04/2012, during a meeting of the full panel of the O5 council, all instances of SCP-2087-01 ceased activity. By unanimous decision of the O5 council, the Intercausal Liason Office was ordered sealed until additional instances of SCP-2087-01 are detected. STANDING ORDERS: As of 01/07/2012, transboundary contact is indefinitely suspended. All devices and Thaumiel-class artifacts permitting causal contact with adjacent timelines are, until further notice, to be reclassified as Keter. At present, the Foundation's standing hypothesis is that no adjacent timeline is viable for continued human life. As of 01/14/2013, it is confirmed that macro-scale deviations from the known timeline result in nonviable branching within ~4 nanoseconds. The viability of Planck-scale divergent timelines is presently unknown. The underlying reason for mass fatality in adjacent timelines is unknown. The reason for the continued viability of the primary timeline is, similarly, unknown. Research into this matter is ongoing. For access to real-time intertemporal monitoring and experimental results, consult with your Site Director. Footnotes 1. Under the terms of Standing Order 2170b, causal contact with adjacent timelines is prohibited in order to reduce the risk of causal contamination by nonviable timelines.

SCP-2088 | euclid | Documentation of iconography found within SCP-2088’s concourse. Item #: SCP-2088 Special Containment Procedures: The entrance to SCP-2088 is currently owned by the group of interest Marshall, Carter and Dark. Containment procedures are currently dedicated to maintaining consistent observations and assessing the feasibility of an interplanetary mission to the facility. Foundation personnel working for United Kingdom-based front companies have business arrangements with Marshall, Carter and Dark to regularly attend SCP-2088 events. When not possible for a Foundation-backed observer to attend, listening devices are to be placed in the bags of the attendants. Description: SCP-2088 is a facility located on Pallene, a moon orbiting Saturn. The purpose of this facility is to act as concert hall and general event venue. Its apparent customer base consists of intelligent species residing in the Milky Way galaxy. Patronage is heavily segregated, with separate seating areas for eleven separate races. Each divided area contains its own seats, concessions, view of the stage, and atmosphere. The entry point for SCP-2088 on Earth is always an MC&D clubhouse. All persons who purchase tickets within the location are instantaneously teleported to SCP-2088 thirty minutes before the start of the event, and returned ten minutes after the event's conclusion. Access is generally limited to 45 individuals at one time, although this is not a fixed number. Events usually occur at least once per month, although there are usually 3 to 5 in a month. Performances at SCP-2088 have been recorded in length between 25 seconds and 3 weeks. Although MC&D only owns one section of seats, they appear to have also purchased the naming rights to the arena, as their iconography and logo appear prominently throughout the facility. This branding was how the area was discovered, after a Foundation satellite monitoring SCP-1683 detected an anomalous feature on Pallene's surface. Inquiry to MC&D through Foundation front companies revealed details of SCP-2088's existence, and current containment procedures were enacted on 10/18/2002. Addendum 2088-A: Selected SCP-2088 Observations: Event Description: Starwatch. Top of the building was rendered transparent, with spotlights pointing out different clusters of stars and describing how they will be destroyed at some point in the future. This concluded with a lengthy description of the eventual heat death of the universe. Act(s): Brief astronomy lecture, followed by stargazing. Length: 4 hours. Notes: Free t-shirt giveaway. Only shirts specific to humans could be recovered. Contained no unusual traits, and had the Marshall, Carter and Dark logo printed on the front. Event Description: Music. Several groups of entities1 performed music. Several acts did not appear to produce any sound at all, and did not appear on stage at all, but were advertised as distant masses performing with gravity waves instead of sound waves. Act(s): The only music acts with Earth-compatible translations on the schedule were named Jazz Ragged, Repetitious Mammal, and They're Certainly Dwarves. Length: 11 hours, 45 minutes. Notes: English translator of the first band's singer repeatedly said it expressed gratitude for the denizens of the milky way galaxy for coming to the show. Other acts have included references to 'greater-planetary area', 'greater Sol region' and 'collected citizens of the corporations'. Event Description: Comedy. One performer, who appeared to be composed entirely out of matted, wet, hair, gave a standup comedy performance describing various aspects of its job as a technician. As the show went on, the entity began shedding hair and began to make mistakes in delivering its jokes. The show ended earlier than schedule when the entity shed its entire form and expired. Act(s): Standup comedy from 'DAMP'. Length: 1 hour, 13 minutes. Notes: Several members of the group were turned away due to having empty body cavities larger than were allowed by the building policy. This is apparently a permanent change as several persons attending other events have been returned for the same reason. Event Description: Circus. Consisted of a reproduction of the Barnum and Bailey Circus act performed in the United States in the early 20th century. Contained no anomalous phenomenon, although all performers in the show wore MC&D logos on their costumes. In addition, all animals appeared to have the letters 'MC&D' branded into their backs. Act(s): An animal show, acrobatics, and a clown-produced play. Length: 5 hours, 30 minutes. Notes: All concessions being sold at the event consisted of typical carnival fare, such as turkey legs and caramel apples. Event Description: Fight. A large, translucent creature appearing to be comprised of several hundred gelatinous cubes was placed in a cage containing a brown, trapezoid-shaped entity covered with pulsating spikes. The second entity also had a gold band wrapped around it. These two beings vibrated and bumped into each other, with the creature losing mass as cubes fell off of its body, and this eventually caused it to stop moving. Act(s): One cage match between 'Cubert' and defending champion 'The Incredible Thing'. When pressed about the naming, the group's translator claimed they had been instructed to make up names when no coherent one could be translated. Length: 14 hours, 20 minutes. Notes: N/A Event Description: Vehicle Rally. 45 different vehicles, including two hovercraft, gas-powered vehicles, nuclear-powered vehicles, and helium-based vehicles were steered autonomously around a large, reflective track until most of them had been destroyed. Following this, the disparate parts of the vehicles were rebuilt into two large robotic entities resembling canines, which were then made to fight. Act(s): Crash rally followed by re-scrapping and re-cycling for battle purposes. Length: 8 hours, 45 minutes. Notes: Between the acts, there was a brief segment honoring one audience members's participation in the 'Battle for freedoms against those who sit' and encouraging audience members to enlist in their respective race's armed forces. Addendum 2088-B: On 12/23/2016, a memorandum was sent from persons representing the Marshall, Carter and Dark organization to a branch of S&C Plastics in London. The text of the memorandum has been included in this document. MEMORANDUM TO: S&C Plastics Atlantic headquarters. FROM: MARSHALL, CARTER and DARK Ltd. RE: Let's start over on this one. Greetings to the misters and misses of the Overwatch Council, We at MC&D can't help but to have noticed that your organization seems very keen on regularly attending sessions provided by our event services. We're concerned by your need to be secretive about this. You're not exactly doing the best job at being inconspicuous, you know, and we do appreciate your business. Send a representative of your organization to the pre-agreed location, and we're confident that a mutually beneficial deal can be worked out. Regards, Greg Chamberlain, European Director of MC&D Event Services A Foundation response is pending. Footnotes 1.

SCP-2089 | euclid | SCP-2089-1, as seen during its last recorded video (Dated 09/25/20██). Item #: SCP-2089 Special Containment Procedures: The domains containing SCP-2089 are to be blocked from all public service providers. Any original or re-posted content related to SCP-2089-1 (including videos, images, gifs, comments and fan-derived works) are to be taken down by Foundation Agents. Personnel actively viewing SCP-2089-1 related content are to be rotated on a bi-weekly basis. Information pertaining to the location of SCP-2089-1 is to be reported to the project lead. Current research has proven inconclusive. Description: SCP-2089 refers to a blog located on the site www.██████████.com. The blog features images, videos and other related content centered around the user named "John_████████_Is_Here" (referred to as SCP-2089-1). SCP-2089-1 claims to be male, and wears a hooded jacket resembling a skeleton. Audio samples taken from videos of SCP-2089-1 have proven inconclusive in supporting this claim. SCP-2089-1 and its blog feature a Q&A style format, in which users ask questions and SCP-2089-1 provides appropriate responses through comments. SCP-2089-1 is noted to immediately answer most questions asked, regardless of the time of day. Videos posted by SCP-2089-1 feature the entity inside a dark room. The topic of these videos discuss questions SCP-2089-1 failed to respond to, references to other blogs, and subjects pertaining to SCP-2089's followers. In 48% of recorded videos, SCP-2089-1 will attempt to commit suicide, with only 11% of those attempts being successful. Following videos indicate no physical harm inflicted onto SCP-2089-1. Any follower who regularly views content related to SCP-2089-11 becomes an instance of SCP-2089-2. All instances of SCP-2089-2 re-post and create new content related to SCP-2089-1 whenever possible. Instances of SCP-2089-2 are noted to post content indicating a marked prejudice against SCP-2089-1. Some of the content includes: Comments expressing dislike towards SCP-2089-1 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. + Interview + Close <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. Addendum 2089-01: The following is an excerpt recorded from a video posted by SCP-2089-1. + Video excerpt + Close SCP-2089-1 is facing the camera Hey guys, it's John here.

Item: SCP-2089-I-374 Date Posted: 06/14/20██ Description: A video recorded by SCP-2089-1 featuring itself using a circular saw to cut off its left arm. SCP-2089-1 proceeds to hold its severed limb with its remaining arm and waves towards the camera. This continues for 33 seconds until SCP-2089-1 passes out, presumably from blood loss. Notable Comments: MrBRASIL: What kind of idiot uses a circular saw? Item: SCP-2089-I-789 Date Posted: 07/23/20██ Description: A piece of art painted by an instance of SCP-2089-2.

Reblog so we can find him and castrate his nuts. Notable Comments: All replies to SCP-2089-I-1026 contained the following: #johnsnuts Item: SCP-2089-I-1282 Date Posted: 08/01/20██ Description: A post made in response to SCP-2089-I-1026: Aryanne: Nice try, BRASIL. I drove my car all the way upstate to reach the foot of Bitch Mountain. Bitch. Freaking. Mountain. I'm not even kidding you. Search that shit up right now. I'm not even mad. WP, BRASIL. Notable Comments: MrBRASIL: I killed John already. I stuck my rod into him, then cut off his balls. Done. Aryanne: Send me a pic. MrBRASIL: Snapchat me. Aryanne: iight Item: SCP-2089-I-1297 Date Posted: 08/02/20██ Description: An image of SCP-2089-1 and another person, presumably an instance of SCP-2089-2. A caption underneath the image reads: Whoo! Met one of my fans yesterday in person! We were craaaazy, but we had a lot of fun. Notable Comments: MrBRASIL: The fuck is this? John, how the hell do you do this? I have your testicles in a jar, and you're here all smiling and shit? Maybe I need to come over there and teach you another lesson. John_████████_Is_Here: haha you're saying I don't have balls. #iceewutudidthare Aryanne: BRASIL, you fail. MrBRASIL: I'll show you the things right now. Give me a sec. MrBRASIL: Wait, what the hell?

The person is standing in front of a mountainous landscape. A caption underneath the photo reads: Went to the address again. And it's Bitch Goddamn Mountain. Notable Comments: Aryanne: I don't know what place you went to. I told you it's Bitch Mountain. MrBRASIL: I'm telling you, it was a real place. I found a house. One of those fancy two stories. I barged in and found John cornered up in his room, tapping away on a mac. A fucking mac of all things. Anyway, I came in, did my thing. I cut off his nuts, let him bleed to death. I washed off his nuts and placed them in my jar. Then I drove away. No one said a thing. Aryanne, You have the pic I sent you? Aryanne: Yeah ... I forgot to save it when you sent it to me. MrBRASIL: You dense motherfucker. Aryanne: Whatever. It was John, anyway. I don't want that cluttering up my computer. inb4 I told you so. MrBRASIL: Remind me how John is still breathing? Aryanne: Beats me. Maybe he wants to stay alive? MrBRASIL: I don't get what your saying. Aryanne: John is an entertainer. We can't have him dead. Balls bleeding, yeah. But dead? You'd have to be dense. MrBRASIL: Suppose you have a point. Aryanne: Can you be sure if it actually happened? MrBRASIL: Are you ed? I sent you a pic Aryanne: Nope. Don't have it. 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. + Video 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: >Follower of John's Blog >Offended by Content Get a load of this guy. Footnotes 1.

SCP-2090 | euclid | SCP-2090 - Potentially XK Tim Duncan ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} Image produced by Kant Counter readings during observation of SCP-2090. Item #: SCP-2090 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation personnel standing in as personal security staff are to closely monitor SCP-2090 on a day-to-day basis for any sign of anomalous deviation. Kant Counters are to be discreetly installed in and around the home of SCP-2090 to provide constant surveillance of SCP-2090 and any disturbances caused by its anomalous nature. Any discrepancies are to be reported to Level 2090/4 staff personnel assigned to SCP-2090, or to the MTF Ρ-5 team leader. Under no circumstances should Foundation Protocol Ōllamaliztli-5 be interrupted. Due to the current state of Protocol Ōllamaliztli-5 and its influence on American and global culture, interruptions are not expected. FILESERV NOTICE: THE FOLLOWING IS THE SCP-2090 DATA FILE AS IT APPEARED BEFORE ITS RECLASSIFICATION AS NEUTRALIZED. SOME ERRORS MAY PERSIST. Description: SCP-2090 is a Class I humanoid entity that goes by the name of Tim Duncan, and is currently the starting power forward/center for the San Antonio Spurs professional basketball team. SCP-2090 exhibits no visibly noticeable anomalous properties, and its nature is only detectable by use of Kant Reality Counters used to identify disturbances in local reality. SCP-2090 displays a remarkably high Hume discrepancy, although this effect is seemingly limited to its body and has no effect on the world around it. Despite this, due to information gathered via Protocol Ōllamaliztli-5, SCP-2090 must be constantly monitored for any sign of changes in behaviour or anomalous activity. Discovery: SCP-2090 was initially discovered during routine inspection of Area of Interest CA-74 "Sleep Train Arena" in Sacramento, California, during a game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Sacramento Kings. What was initially thought to be an equipment malfunction was later discovered to be caused by massive interference created by SCP-2090. Due to the high level of celebrity that SCP-2090 has obtained, it was considered unfeasible to remove the subject from the public and place it within containment for further observation. This resulted in the creation of Mobile Task Force Rho-5 "Spurs and Saddles", which constantly monitors SCP-2090 and ensures proper application of Protocol Ōllamaliztli-5. Addendum 2090.1: Protocol Ōllamaliztli-5 [Information Restricted to Level 2090/4 and MTF Ρ-5 Personnel Only] During initial observation of SCP-2090, Foundation IT personnel began to discover a number of encrypted files within the Foundation database. Foundation Internal Intelligence teams were set with gaining access to these files, and discovering their origin. With help from the SCP-2090 research team and MTF Ρ-5, the code-breaking effort was a success. Notably, all files were dated at various points within two years after the date of discovery, although additional information suggests that they had existed within the Foundation database for an extensive period of time. While many of the files were incomplete and missing data, enough was recovered to properly deduce and implement Protocol Ōllamaliztli-5. Recovered File 2090/1 We send this to [DATA CORRUPTED] fear but hope for mankind if the godhead is not Imperative! Imperative! Imperative!

Can't think for the life of me when the computer was invented, though. Shit, might have to finish this now anyway. Don't know if I have any other options.

[DATA CORRUPTED]igned to create some kind of early prevention system. All iterations call it a diversion, but none of them have finished running the simulation, they just keep backing up their results to this thing and sending it down the line, hoping the next guys can finish it. We've go[DATA CORRUPTED] but the time just isn't there. We're all moving into the bunker, so this is probably it. The files are all still on the mainframe, you know what to do with them. Jesus Christ. Ok. [DATA CORRUPTED]ain. Recovered File 2090/43 FOUNDATION GENERAL ALERT ALERT LEVEL 5 THE FOLLOWING IS A GENERAL NOTICE TO ALL FOUNDATION PERSONNEL IN SITES N/A - N/A Good, this system still works. Hope the format is the same where you are. Everything is here, so I'm guessing you're going to probably figure this out on your own. I don't have time to get into the details, but the simulations have finished running and there's a chance we can stop this thing. Not now, but maybe us sometime else. According to the results, it's a pretty elaborate setup that requires a ton of preparation. In every timeline the basis for the protocol is there, but it's never thoroughly supported and dies out pretty quickly. In esse[DATA CORRUPTED]n't do anything about those, hang on. FOUNDATION GENERAL ALERT ALERT LEVEL 5 Shit, ok. I'll send it along. I can't believe it's so simple, but the simulations checked themselves and this is it. A series of ritualistic events that keep him in check as he matures, the designs are all in there. Just put it together like I have detailed, and that should do the trick. Make sure the events go on unhindered, do whatever you have to do to make sure of that. The last thing I'm including is the design for the ritual arena. Construct it like it's explained, and then make sure he participates in the ritual. I don't care if you have to turn a hurricane on him, do it. This is it. Good luck. Recovered File 2090/44 + Access File - Access Granted Protocol Ōllamaliztli-5. Foundation Protocol Ōllamaliztli-5 Codename: Basketball Pertinent Information: From the beginning of the early 19th century on, foster and promote the growth of basketball in the United States of America and around the world, inevitably preventing SCP-N/A from [DATA CORRUPTED] ascending to the godhead. Additional information about rules and regulation, and how they should evolve over time, is included within this file. [DATA CORRUPTED] Hope this works Addendum 2090.2: Cessation of Abnormal Hume Activity On July 11th, 2016, SCP-2090 announced its retirement from the National Basketball Association after 19 seasons with the San Antonio Spurs. While containment personnel were on hand during the announcement of the subject's retirement in the event of a prospective breach of containment, no such anomalous activity took place. Hume readings of the subject shortly thereafter showed that the individual known as Tim Duncan no longer expressed abnormal Hume levels, and as such should no longer be considered anomalous. After a period of sustained observation with no notable activity in that time, SCP-2090 was reclassified as NEUTRALIZED. However, since Tim Duncan's retirement and subsequent reclassification, several other professional basketball players have also expressed unusual Kant Counter readings, similar to those previously expressed by SCP-2090. Until more information can be collected, the following individuals are to be considered Persons of Interest: POI #57284 - Karl-Anthony Towns - Concern: Low POI #57285 - Joel Embiid - Concern: Low POI #57286 - Giannis Antetokounmpo - Concern: Moderate POI #57287 - Anthony Davis - Concern: High POI #57288 - Victor Oladipo - Concern: Very High Concern: Low POI #57932 - Domantas Sabonis - Concern: Very High Further investigation is ongoing. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2090" by djkaktus, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2091 | safe | close Info X Related articles: Six Letters Addressed to the SCP Foundation (and One Letter Home) by ahbonjour Picture of SCP-2091-1 with SCP-2091-2 in 1994 prior to developing anomalous abilities, recovered from SCP-2091's discovery point. Item #: SCP-2091 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2091-1 and SCP-2091-2 are to be housed in Site-282. SCP-2091-1 is to be kept in a standard Animal Containment Unit. SCP-2091-2 is to be kept in a Type S Humanoid Anomaly Containment Cell. Requests submitted from SCP-2091-2 for various entertainment are to be approved on a case-by-case basis as behavior permits. Once every two weeks for 90 minutes, SCP-2091-1 and SCP-2091-2 are allowed to interact with each other in SCP-2091-1's containment unit under supervision from a Level 2 researcher and a security guard. Description: SCP-2091-1 is a sculpture of an Ursus arctos terriblis (grizzly bear), 1.2m tall at the shoulder and 2.1m in length. It is made out of polymer clay, with documentation recovered at its discovery point dating its creation to 1994. Ultrasound testing has shown cavities within SCP-2091 corresponding with the locations of organs found within grizzly bears despite no biological tissues being detected, with no mechanisms to give it the ability to move. Various parts of its body have been replaced with patches of grass, and two toes replaced with materials from a watch. SCP-2091-1 is unable to move itself or perform any actions unless within 15m of SCP-2091-2. SCP-2091-2 is a human female by the name of Abigael Harlowe, 20 years of age. Background checks and interviews during its time at the Foundation revealed no apparent history of anomalous abilities prior to SCP-2091-1 gaining its anomalous traits in 1998. When SCP-2091-1 is within 15m of SCP-2091-2, SCP-2091-1 displays locomotion and behavioral traits commonly associated with grizzly bears. It will attempt to stay close to SCP-2091-2 whenever possible, and attack organisms it perceives to be threatening or harmful to SCP-2091-2. SCP-2091-2 has claimed to be able to understand SCP-2091-1, saying it is its grandfather. Whenever within the area of effect, SCP-2091-2 has been observed talking to SCP-2091-1 and conversing with it, although SCP-2091-1 has never been observed talking. During its active state, SCP-2091-1 has the ability to repair any damage to its body by swallowing a variety of materials, having a preference for clay when given a choice.1 Addendum 2091-A: A search of the house at Woodbine, Georgia where SCP-2091-1 and -2 were discovered revealed journals, notes, and photographs belonging to who is presumed to be SCP-2091-2's grandfather, David Lennox, as well as an art studio belonging to him. Obituaries dated to February 13, 1998 confirm his death, though no body has been found. Court documentation shows that PoI-962, Jonathon Harman, is the legal guardian of SCP-2091-2, though no other documentation relating to Mr. Harman has been found. The majority of the files recovered at SCP-2091-2's house were deteriorated or unreadable due to poor management, though what has been recoverable is in Foundation archives.2 Addendum 2091-C: The following is a transcript of one of the few recoverable pages taken from the journals of SCP-2091-2's house relevant to this entry. + Journal Entry 1/5/98 - Journal Entry 1/5/98 —no reason to be cruel to your followers, and is leaving behind a granddaughter to inherit nothing but her clothing anything but cruel? With no family to speak of except for me, she'll have no one to turn to. And may you damn me to Hell if I leave sweet Abbie to the destiny of adoption, one which is unforgiving and cold as I have learned. You have seen me through those tough times, and I have no doubt that you would also help her through those tough times, but isn't the work of the Lord to lessen the suffering of His children? [Scribble marks] A couple weeks prior, I had gone to a conference to meet with long-time friends in Cross City, for what I had then wagered to be my last time there. My physician had cleared me to go, and so long as I had Abbie supervised by my friends in case of medical emergencies, I would be free to go with her there to worship. Unfortunately, I could not spend long, as most of my time was spent in the bathroom, sick and sobbing. I would not doubt that Abbie was smart enough to catch onto what had happened. Jonathon had, by the intermision[sic] of the service, approached me as Abbie and I were ready to head to a nearby store for groceries. He sat down with me as I sent Abbie to play with Curtis and his daughter, Frances. He had wondered what my plans were should I die soon. I took offense to to this, as I would not leave Abbie in the hands of a system so cold and cruel to children, nor leave her on her own. Yet, I had been searching for months to find a suitable guardian for her. There were no other family or friends of my son Ian, nor could I locate his wife (though I have forgiven her, I do not know if I could ever reconcile with what she has done, nor speak or write her name; it is better for Abbie to never know). What other plans could I have then? He told me that he knew of a way that could work. One of the services he had been to over in Franklin County with a group he had referred to as "the Hand" had taught him what is supposedly magic to work "in accordance to the Lord's ways". I had considered it blasphemous and was ready to leave, when he had handed me printouts of what was needed to be done. I read incredulously, each word making me more fearful. 'Could I really continue to watch over Abbie?' The words must have left my mouth as well, because he chuckled and nodded. There would, of course, be the issue of my sudden disappearance. He had agreed to work out that issue as well, as he would claim to be Abbie's guardian, but leave me be. Could I be forgiven for casting him with a suspicious eye? Despite having known him for forty years, since the two of us had grown up together as children, he was never particularly religious (though he informed me a few years ago he had found God again). Plus, he would be the final legal link Abbie has to my family. He had encouraged me to research, and to phone him my answer when I was sure. I thought about his words on the drive home. Whenever I was not tending to Abbie, at the hospital, tending to my art, or sleeping, I would be constantly reading the Bible, praying, searching for an answer. I had never given up looking for the best option for her, and it is only until last night that I decided. This, then, would be the best action to take. Abigael, I hope you understand. … I will not guard her any longer than I have to, and I will not cheat you, God by staying with my spirit on Earth eternally; when her time in her body is gone, I shall join her to go to you, and if— - Journal Entry 1/5/98 Transcript of Interview Log 2091-A: Interviewed: SCP-2091-2 Interviewer: Researcher Chang Foreword: Following initial containment and relocation to Site-282, SCP-2091-2 had refused to talk or allow permission for interviews. After deliberation among the team assigned to SCP-2091-1 and SCP-2091-2, it was decided to allow both to interact with each other (with strict security measures) to allow cooperation. After a 15-minute period to allow the two to interact with each other, the interview commenced. <Begin Log, 18:30> Researcher Chang: How are you feeling, Ms. Harlowe? SCP-2091-2: A bit better… all those guards look scary though. Researcher Chang: I can't do anything about that. I'm sorry. We always take careful measures just in case. Can you state how old you are for the interview? SCP-2091-2: Sure. 16 years old. Researcher Chang: Thank you. Now… do you wanna talk about what happened a couple days ago with that burglar? SCP-2091-2: I'm sorry… he wouldn't mean to hurt anyone that badly. Researcher Chang: He almost killed that man though. SCP-2091-2: I had to tell him to stop. I was scared at first because I thought the guy would hurt me, and then when I was crying out he, well… SCP-2091-2 stops at this point to collect herself and take deep breaths. Researcher Chang: Do you want to continue this later? We can set up another interview for a different time. SCP-2091-2: N… No, it's okay. He just wanted to protect me, is all. I told him to stop and eventually he did… is the guy okay? Researcher Chang: He'll survive. You're concerned for the person who tried to break into your home and rob you? SCP-2091-2: What if he needed money or food? He could have asked but maybe he did it for a good reason. Researcher Chang: Well… let's move onto another topic. What is the relationship between you and your bear? SCP-2091-2: He's my granddad. Researcher Chang: Your grandfather? SCP-2091-2: Yeah. I think I remember that he used to be a person, and now he's a bear. Researcher Chang: Do you know why? SCP-2091-2: I remember one night before I went to bed, he told me that he'd leave but come back differently. He told me he'd be a bear, so that I shouldn't be surprised when I see a bear walking around. Researcher Chang: How long ago was that? Why did you believe him? SCP-2091-2: Um… 10 years ago. I was six. Why wouldn't I believe him? He was a bear the next day. I saw him moving around! Researcher Chang: How did you manage to take care of yourself? It doesn't look easy for bears to cook, at least. SCP-2091-2: He found books for me to read whenever I wasn't at school. He had taught me some things before he became a bear, I remember that. He taught me how to make sandwiches and how to cook dinner from a box in a microwave. We had a lot of those. I learned how to do it after a short time, and I can cook and feed myself. Researcher Chang: Do you need to cook for your grandfather? SCP-2091-2: No. He doesn't need to eat. But sometimes when we play or when he protects me he accidentally breaks a part of his body. Once he figured out how to fix himself by eating stuff, I got a bunch of clay for him. Researcher Chang: How did you get money and food? SCP-2091-2: Someone paid our bills every month, and would send stuff to our house. The label always said "Harman". Researcher Chang: Do you know who that is? SCP-2091-2: No… but my granddad always told me to take them. He knew who he was. Researcher Chang: How does he talk with you? SCP-2091-2: He just speaks to my mind and I talk back with my mouth! Isn't that cool? Researcher Chang: Can he, er, talk to anyone else with his mind? SCP-2091-2: He told me before that he tried. No one understands him… sorry. Researcher Chang: That's alright. Does he know where Mr. Harman is now? SCP-2091-2: Hmm… do you know, granddad? SCP-2091-1 makes grunting noises while turning to look at SCP-2091-2. SCP-2091-2: He doesn't know anymore. He used to be with him in church a lot though, but hasn't talked with him after becoming a bear. Researcher Chang: I see. SCP-2091-2: Is the conversation over? I'm getting nervous and want to go back to talking with granddad. Researcher Chang: We can stop for today. Before we do, is there anything he wants to add to the conversation? SCP-2091-1 doesn't make any additional noise, instead lying down on the floor and looking between Researcher Chang and the security guards. SCP-2091-2: He says he's afraid you'll try and hurt me. <End Log, 18:51> Closing Statement: Researcher Chang continued with superfluous and irrelevant questioning in order to ease SCP-2091-1 and SCP-2091-2's anxieties and discomfort to make containment easier. At the end of the interview, SCP-2091-1 and SCP-2091-2 were allowed to spend another 20 minutes with each other before SCP-2091-2 was guided back to her cell and the session formally ended.

SCP-2092 | safe | Probe-2092-A, prior to launch Item #: SCP-2092 Special Containment Procedures: Due to the distant location and inert nature of SCP-2092, suppression of information and continuous observation is considered sufficient for its containment. Undercover Agents employed by the major space agencies must ensure that non-Foundation space probes leaving the proximity of Earth are incapable of receiving electromagnetic signals on the frequency range 3.25-3.30 GHz. They are also responsible for expunging the transcripts of SCP-2092-1 from documents related to previous space missions. Probe-2092-A must observe SCP-2092 at all times. Its encrypted video feed must be transmitted to Site-15 via Probe-2092-B. Access to the video feed is restricted to personnel holding Security Clearance Level 4 or higher. If contact is lost with either of the probes, or a failure is expected in 3 years, replacements must be sent. Description: SCP-2092-1 is a repetitive electromagnetic signal with a frequency of 3.274 GHz. It was received by multiple interplanetary probes,1 but it was never recorded on Earth or by satellites in Earth orbit. The designation SCP-2092 is used for the (currently uncontained) source of origin of the signal. SCP-2092-1 appears to be a message encoded in binary with 5329 bits of length. Dr. █████████ noticed that arranging the bits of the message into a table with 73 rows and 73 columns results in an image apparently intended to convey meaning. Visualization of the SCP-2092-1 message The image features six objects. It is hypothesized that image is schematic model of the Solar System, the largest object representing the Sun, and four other objects representing the terrestrial planets. The leftmost object does not correspond to any known astronomical object. Foundation Researchers have hypothesized that the leftmost object is intended to be a representation of SCP-2092. SCP-2092 is theorized to be an asteroid in an orbit directly opposite to that of the Earth and orbiting at the same velocity as the Earth. The fact that SCP-2092-1 was never received by any device in the proximity of Earth seems to support this hypothesis, since the Sun would block all electromagnetic signals from such a source. A space mission to investigate the assumed location of SCP-2092 is currently prepared. Addendum: Probe-2092-A was launched on an intercept course with SCP-2092 on 12/11/1998. Shortly thereafter, Probe-2092-B was launched on 01/03/1999. Probe-2092-B is intended to act as a communications relay station to send signals back to Earth from Probe-2092-A. Both devices were disguised as NASA Mars probes. Cover stories about the failure of these missions were issued to the public. On ██/██/2000, Probe-2092-A reached the presumed coordinates of SCP-2092. Photographs sent back from the probe reveal a roughly rectangular, metallic object approximately 7 m x 8 m x 10 m in size. The surface of the object is covered in ten square screens displaying the same message in the following languages: Arabic, Chinese, ███████, English, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Russian and Spanish.2 The English version of the message displayed by SCP-2092 (recorded on ██/██/2000): Welcome, people of Earth! Congratulations on finding me. I am the Ambassador appointed to your planet. My duty is to wait here until you are advanced enough to leave your home and face me. As a final test of your merits, you will be given a single question entrusted to me eons ago. Answer correctly, and the prize will be knowledge far beyond your imagination. But be warned! Might you fail to give the true answer, otherworldly curses shall fall upon your beloved planet, bringing forth creatures straight from your worst nightmares for no less than ten millennia! Your race gets a new chance to solve the riddle only after that period of horrors. Now read the question that will determine your fate, and show me the worth of your people! Access to the full text requires Security Clearance Level 4. + Enter credentials to continue reading - Credentials accepted Question is currently not available. Please try again in: 2365 years and 127 days Footnotes 1. SCP-2092-1 was first received by the Venus probe Magellan on ██/██/1992. 2. On ██/██/████ changes were observed in the Chinese and Russian texts. The meaning of the message was not altered, but the phrasing became more modern. It suggests that SCP-2092 is capable of observing Earth and its languages and it modifies the displayed messages accordingly. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2092" by TobiasTheTapir, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2093 | euclid | close Info X SCP-2093: Open Alpha This might be in some way related. Author: AndarielHalo Eat more of my SCPs. Eat them all. Also please eat some of these Anabasis Hub Probably the greatest story involving a pair of redheaded siblings whose infighting causes the end of the world Manna Charitable Foundation 2000 The sequel to the above, collaborationed with Dr Reach The Stuff Industry What happens when everyone around you at work is a complete idiot and so are you, but not only does no one get fired, but you actually turn a profit? I don't know, some stuff. When MCF and Stuff happen A fun story of incompetence 2/2093 LEVEL 2/2093 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-2093 Special Containment Procedures: The school building containing SCP-2093 is to be locked down when not being tested. As the building has been condemned and no longer serves any public function, any unauthorized individual found roaming the halls is to be detained and interrogated. As of ██/█/2013, SCP-2093 has expanded in size approximately 8 square meters, encompassing the entirety of the drama room. The exact limits can be determined by use of thermal imaging, as the space within SCP-2093 has a significantly lower level of heat and humidity. Description: SCP-2093 is a spatial anomaly localized in the third floor drama room of ███████ High School and located in █████████, Maryland. Upon entering SCP-2093, personnel inside enter the spatial anomaly, and are able to exit the room while remaining within SCP-2093, allowing for exploration of a recreation of the school building. The recreation conforms with the size and structure of the actual school and is populated by an array of entities appearing as students, ranging in age from elementary students to high school students. Continued exploration has revealed the limits of the anomaly extend in all directions, with nothing beyond school property save endless grassland. Communication with entities within SCP-2093 has not determined whether the entities are sentient, but they have shown themselves able to retain information given to them. Some entities appear to engage in conversation but are incapable of vocalization. Individuals outside of SCP-2093 may open the door, allowing for those inside the anomaly to return unharmed. It is unknown why personnel within the anomaly are unable to escape on their own, or if entities within SCP-2093 are bound by the same restriction. Addendum: An expedition on █/█/20██ encountered a small group of unknown creatures within SCP-2093, roughly resembling bipedal ursines, with a layer of matte gray chitin covering their torsos. Facial features are nonexistent save for two ellipsoid openings of equal size, one atop the other. Entities within the anomaly displayed no reaction to the creatures. Note: Expedition logs 015 - 018 are made publicly available to all researchers level 2 and above assigned to SCP-2093, as per containment procedures. Expedition-015 Access Granted Expedition-015: Agents West and Pierce are assigned to enter the anomaly and make contact with the entities within in an attempt to obtain as much information as possible regarding the anomaly and possibly make contact with the anomalous entities. Upon entering, Agent West notes the smell of burning plastic. The agents exit the room and descend to the second floor. Entities dressed in school uniforms walk the halls, ignoring the agents. The agents hail a small boy of African-American descent, with bright green eyes. Agent Pierce: Excuse me, son, can you help us? We're looking for Ms. ████ Entity: I'm at ███████ High School in [REDACTED]. Hello! My name is Johnny. Agent Pierce: You sure you go to this school? You look kind of young. Entity: I'm at ███████ High School in [REDACTED]. I'm smart. Agent West: Do you know Ms. ████? She's a math teacher, teaches in room ███, should be around here? Entity: I am smart. No further useful information was gleaned from contact with the entities. Agents made their way through the halls of the second floor, discovering all doors and lockers to be open. The layout of each room follow a set of four distinct arrangements all apparently adjusted for an east-facing entry and west-facing windows. Other rooms are not corrected for directional discrepancy and have windows impeded by walls and an additional door on the west wall of each room. Agent West remarks the smell of burning plastic emanates from these rooms in particular. The agents make their way to the ground floor of the school, and make contact with a small group of five ursine creatures. After a brief stand-off, a system of rudimentary communication via hand gestures and pantomime is successfully established. Lack of familiarity with the entities or the location indicates the ursine creatures are not responsible for, or in any way in control of the anomaly. The creatures indicate they were exploring an apparently abandoned structure when they discovered a trap door leading into the anomaly. The ursine creatures were able to retrace their steps to show Agents West and Pierce the door they had entered through, which appeared to lead up to the drama room on the third floor, to a trap door on stage. The creatures became distressed as they entered the drama room, apparently unaware that returning to their home base required outside assistance. Note: If the ursines are unable to return where they came from, consideration should be made for taking them in and classifying them with SCP status. - Dr. Marlowe Expedition-016 Access Granted Expedition-016: Dr. Jaime Marlowe accompanies Agents West and Pierce, along with █████ ███, a linguistics expert, to attempt conversation with the ursine creatures. The ursines were found in the teachers' lounge, having consumed all available food and using a microwave to heat an unknown foodstuff. The creatures show an adept knowledge of mathematics and astronomy and are able to graphically reproduce images on paper with great accuracy. When asked to draw their planet of origin, the shape and arrangement of continents were recognized as corresponding to that of Earth approximately 50-70 million years ago. The creatures appeared confused and agitated when Dr. Marlowe indicated Earth as home. The ursines understood the context of the phrase "home world" and insisted upon using it to describe Earth. The ursines creatures were quick to understand the entities were not sentient, and understood the concepts of artificial intelligence and computational neuroscience. The conversation abruptly ended as the creatures sought to explore the grasslands, and refused to continue further. Expedition-017 Access Granted Expedition-017: Agents West and Pierce, accompanied by 4 additional Foundation personnel, enter the anomaly again. The ursine creatures have cleared out the school's cafeteria of furnishings, and are consuming the food products in the kitchen to no apparent ill effect. The creatures claim they have rescue coming soon, but it is unclear if they understand the need for individuals outside of the anomaly to hold the door open. On the second floor, agents discovered the color of the doors had changed since first emerging, and began checking the class rooms once more. Unlike previous expeditions, the rooms were now properly arranged, with windows facing the outside regardless of room orientation. Inside one of the rooms a largely empty book was discovered on the teacher's desk, containing notes regarding changes and updates made to the school building and the entities within. The tone of these entries indicate the entities may be artificially programmed or else indirectly controlled by others, with the school itself a simulation of sorts. A recent entry indicates awareness of Foundation personnel within the simulation. Portions of this book are logged at the end of file. Expedition-018 Access Granted Expedition-018: Agents West and Pierce are now accompanied by armed security and enter the anomaly. The smell of burnt plastic is noted as being completely gone. No entities are found on the second floor, and all doors leading into classrooms are now locked. Entities are encountered on the ground floor keeping their distance from Foundation personnel. Several appear actively hostile, but otherwise flee when addressed. Any activity or movement performed by the entities prior to contact with personnel is ceased. The ursine creatures are nowhere to be found, and the cafeteria has been reconstituted. Entities within cease all activity and glare belligerently at Foundation personnel. The school building was searched for 4 hours, turning up no sign of the ursine creatures. As well, the landscape outside has now been barricaded off by barbed wire fences 3 meters in height, with no signs of an entryway. No further materials within SCP-2093 are recovered. Recovered 'Changelog' Full changelog has yet to be recovered since Expedition-018 ███████ High School Version 0.822 Alpha Date: EAEA-119 Thank you for bearing with us over the changeover to [REDACTED]. Logged kè1 have been restored for testing purposes. Changelog 0.822 Fixed classroom orientation, so all students can enjoy the sunshine. Doors to science classrooms should no longer open onto Class B stars. Under-performing students will now improve gradually rather than immediately. When finding writing utensils, students will now only search their own pockets. DVN: We are aware of unauthorized access by bugbears and are working on fixing this right away. Additionally if anyone feels uncomfortable with the level of outside interference by unauthorized users emerging from the drama room, avoid confrontation and alert a Shaper. This is for your own safety and stability. 0.821 Music teachers should no longer hoard oboes. More silos have been added. Lunchroom algorithms restricted to the lunchroom; can no longer trade pudding for principal's desk. Fixed typo which caused language arts classes to be improperly recognized. Translators are available until art supplies can be replaced. Disciplinary actions should no longer result in fatalities. DVN: REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL CONES MUST CEASE, AS THEY ARE FLOODING OUR INBOX. 0.820 Teachers should no longer constantly respawn between periods. Gym has been closed due to epileptic tree incident. As a result, garnishes are no longer permitted within 28 hectometers of croissant-like food items. Sediment has been removed from weather program Language files updated to accommodate Tartessian users. Removed miscellaneous charges from detention slips; students should no longer be accused of "securities fraud", "vicarious liability", "forum shopping", or "contempt of disbarment." Additional silos added. Footnotes 1.

SCP-2094 | euclid | close Info X ⚠️ Content warning: This work of fiction involves scenes which depict or allude to topics which may be particularly distressing for some readers. (Please scroll for content warning list.) Alcoholism Animal cruelty Child abuse (verbal/emotional/neglect) Depression Kidnapping Readers with particular sensitivities should also be aware that this story also depicts or alludes to the following subjects which are less prevalent among content advisories, but nevertheless have the potential to be disturbing: Clowns Rats Being swallowed whole (non-lethal) Mental violation (mind trespassing/memory alteration) Betrayal by chosen family Shaming someone for being talkative ⚠️ content warning Item #: SCP-2094 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2094 is contained in a medium-security residential chamber in Bio-Site 59. Standard PG-Class pre-approved luxuries and amenities may be granted on a supervised basis as an incentive to promote cooperation in interviews and experiments. Psychotropic maintenance of SCP-2094's emotional health is presently overseen by Dr. Anniston (ES#59-390-258). Any requests to access or alter SCP-2094's current drug regimen must be submitted to her in triplicate for review. Description: SCP-2094 is a human male of European descent, 38 years old as of 04/10/14. Several tattoos depicting common circus motifs are present on SCP-2094's upper body. SCP-2094 communicates in American English, specifically the New York City English dialect. SCP-2094 possesses exceptional (non-anomalous) manual dexterity, with particular proficiency in juggling. SCP-2094 is the subject of a spacial anomaly originating within its oral cavity. SCP-2094's lower jaw and facial muscles can be pulled and stretched up to 2 meters in any direction without causing any considerable pain or injury. Additionally, SCP-2094 is capable of redirecting any physical matter that enters its mouth into an extradimensional organ made of anomalously elastic intestinal tissue. There appears to be no limit to the amount of matter that SCP-2094 can store inside this space. The weight of objects carried inside the pocket has no affect on SCP-2094's overall weight, and neither causes SCP-2094 discomfort nor impairs its mobility. SCP-2094 refers to this space as its "second stomach"; however, research indicates that it serves no actual biological purpose. SCP-2094 was recovered in an open field near Kamifurano, Japan, along with an assortment of non-anomalous artifacts related to GoI-233 (Herman Fuller's Circus of the Disquieting). SCP-2094 was discovered bound in chains and locked inside a large antique trunk bearing the words "FOR ESSIE" written on the top panel in red paint. Recovered belongings: The following items were removed from SCP-2094's intestinal space during preliminary containment. Wooden juggling clubs of various colors Metal lighter and several packages of cigars 120 button bass accordion Suitcase containing two sets of clean clothes, a toothbrush, and a shaving kit Fully functional 1962 Maserati 3500 coupé with minor interior and mechanical modifications Burlap sack containing a number of antique wind-up toys Operational submachine gun and accompanying ammunition, circa 1959 Fire breathing torch Plastic trunk containing 45 bottles of Kerosene Selected Interview #1: Interviewer: Dr. O'Sullivan Interviewee: SCP-2094 Notes: Interview conducted 02/24/06, the day after SCP-2094 entered containment. <Begin log> SCP-2094: (Upon Dr. O'Sullivan entering the interview chamber) Congratulations, sir! It appears you've snagged yourself a front row seat to the freak show! Lucky you! Room's a bit too clean for my taste, but hey–it's the performer that makes the stage. At least that's what old Gourdi used to say. (Raps his knuckles on the interview chamber divider) Why, doctor! We haven't even introduced ourselves and you're already putting up walls between us! This does not bode well for our relationship. Dr. O'Sullivan: Good evening, SCP-2094. My name is Doctor O'Sullivan. I'll be– SCP-2094: (Feigning Irish accent) O'Sullivan, ye say? Faith and begorrah! Why, I'll be a shamrock's shantyman! I'm a wee bit Irish, too, on me mam's side! Dr. O'Sullivan: I'll be conducting the interview this afternoon. SCP-2094: (Normal voice) An interview, you say? Gee, I've never been interviewed before! Oh, this should be fun! Does this mean I'm famous? Is this the looney bin where all the superstars eventually end up? Hey, any chance you've got Andy Kaufman stashed away somewhere? Dr. O'Sullivan: I am not at liberty to discuss the nature of this facility. SCP-2094: Come on, now. It's obvious what this place is. You guys haven't been particularly subtle about it. The armed guards, the reinforced cells, the constant observation, the delicate, crystal barrier keeping me from caressing that gorgeous face of yours. (SCP-2094 gently runs the back of its hand down the reinforced glass interview barrier.) Where was I? Oh yeah. Any old dolt could figure out what kind of place this is. We're at Knott's Berry Farm, obviously! When are you guys finally going to face facts? You're never gonna be as good as Disneyland, not ever, no matter how many special snowflakes like me you try to recruit! Dr. O'Sullivan: You seem to be in a talkative mood. Why don't you tell me about the Circus of the Disquieting? SCP-2094: Oh, it's a grand place. Grand place. Lovely people. You should go sometime. Bring the family. Make a day of it. Dr. O'Sullivan: I'd very much like to see it in person. How would I go about finding it? SCP-2094: Doctor, doctor, doctor! You don't find the circus– the circus finds you! See, you'll trudge through life, trawling through the muck of your mundane existence, drowning in pencil shavings, and choking on the sterile fumes of your tidy little office, until one day you realize the stale taste of paper and politics in your soul has become so overwhelming that even the most stringent of fluoride can't scrub it away. Then, just when you've started to feel like there's nothing left on this crummy planet that can make life worth living, that's when you'll start to see the balloons, the lights, the clowns… all of it there to remind you that there's still some magic left in the world. Yes, I imagine that's how you would go about finding the circus, Monsieur Sullivan. Dr. O'Sullivan: Do you know an individual at the circus with an upside-down face? SCP-2094: Ah, so you know about Manny! Wait. What am I saying? Of course you know about Manny! You guys probably know everything from his childhood sweetheart to his shoe size. He's a very memorable fellow. Stand-up guy. Good with kids. Excellent performer. Diligent leader. Detail-oriented. Task specific. Synergy efficiency. Low-hanging fruit. Viable asset leverage. Feel free to stop me whenever you feel like it, Sully. Dr. O'Sullivan: What role does he play at the circus? SCP-2094: Ophelia, occasionally– and I always cry. But usually he's off doing his own thing. He's a very busy upside-down faced man. Does a lot of … important … upside-down faced man things. Dr. O'Sullivan: He sounds like an interesting person. When did you meet him? SCP-2094: Nah, you don't want to hear about all that. Wouldn't you rather hear my impression of Jane Fonda? "Pygar! Why did you save her, after all the terrible things she did to you?" There, that was pretty good, wasn't it? I can also do a decent Audrey Hepburn, and my Hellen Keller isn't too bad, either. Dr. O'Sullivan: Please don't be afraid to share your experiences at the circus. I understand many of the freaks were kidnapped and abused from a young age, but you're very far from your captors now. They can't hurt you here. SCP-2094: Kidnapped? Abused? Who all have you been talking to? Listen, if I've been less than cooperative with you, it's not because I'm traumatized. You can put that out of your mind right now. It's 'cause I'm not the type to sell my circus family out to the white coats. I know your game, Essie. You wanna get all buddy-buddy with me and milk me for all I'm worth. Well, tell your boys to scribble this down on their clipboards: these people you've been hounding? These men and women you've been hunting down like criminals? They're saints. You hear me? They're good folks! I wasn't kidnapped, you dingbat. I ran away, and they took me in with open arms! Dr. O'Sullivan: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult your family. SCP-2094: What's this? Some slight semblance of sensitivity? Have I begun to worm my way into your cold, crusty lump of a heart, doctor? Dr. O'Sullivan: Tell me, why did you run off? SCP-2094: And there it went. So we're playing the backstory game now, eh? Sure. I'll bite. I was eight years old. My dad hit the road long before I was born, so I lived at home with dear old Mom. A real gem of a woman, my mother. She lived an enchanted life, sitting upon her mommy throne and drinking her special mommy water until her eyes rolled back in her head. She never hit me or anything, but she hated me. God, she hated me. And the feeling was mutual. Sometimes I would bring home a mouthful of woodland creatures just 'cause it drove her nuts. Heh. I'd walk up to her all innocent-like, smile one of those adorable, eight-year-old smiles… and then spit up a couple dozen rats onto her lap. Dr. O'Sullivan: So she was aware of your anomalous properties? SCP-2094: What, you mean this? (SCP-2094 graps his lower lip, extends it to arm length, and lets it snap back into place.) Yeah, she noticed. There's a good reason I wasn't breastfed. And because I was such an odd little thing, she kept me holed up inside the house pretty much all the time. Guess she was worried I'd eat somebody. Not once did it ever occur to me to bust out and hit the world on my own, though. Back in the day I was a pretty timid kid, b'lieve it or not. But then one night– actually, hold on. Let me get back to that in a second. Have you ever seen Peter Pan? The animated one? Dr. O'Sullivan: I have. SCP-2094: Okay, good. Where was I? Oh yeah. But then one night, when my Mom was asleep, he came into my room. Showed up at my window, silhouetted against the stars, just like Peter Pan. He told me that freaks didn't belong cooped up in boxes their whole lives. He told me they belonged out in the world, sharing their gifts, making people laugh and scream and puke. He told me of a place where I'd be loved by hundreds, where I'd be a star, where I'd have a real family. So I took his hand. Mummy dearest was too deep in the drink to even notice us waltzing out the front door. And that, dear Sully, is how I wound up running away to join the circus. Best decision of my life. Dr. O'Sullivan: Being visited by a stranger in the middle of the night didn't alarm you as a child? SCP-2094: Well, his face was upside-down, so I suppose I should have been a little spooked, but at the time I was just excited to meet someone who was even weirder than I was. Dr. O'Sullivan: And you weren't treated badly at the circus? SCP-2094: I'll tell ya right now, the circus life ain't for everyone, but hey, Manny and the gang did the best they could. They put bread in our mouths and pillows under our heads. I got a whooping now and again, but what kid doesn't? It's all part of growing up. Kept me in line and manned me up quickly. The folks at the circus loved me like I was one of their own. They never made me feel like being a freak was anything to be hidden or ashamed of. When you're part of a circus family, you look out for one another. You don't just turn around and sell your family out to the Essie P. Foundation! Dr. O'Sullivan: When the recovery team discovered you, you were locked in a trunk. You were left for us to find. Can you tell me why that is? SCP-2094: (Silence) Dr. O'Sullivan: Were there any problems between you and your family? SCP-2094: Hah! Wouldn't you like to know? Sorry, Sully, but I think I've done enough talking. You ain't gettin' nothin' else out of me. Not now, not never. Dr. O'Sullivan: That's fine. Thank you for your time, SCP-2094. SCP-2094: Hey, don't mention it! Anything for my number one fan. <End log> Selected Interview #2: Interviewer: Dr. O'Sullivan Interviewee: SCP-2094 Notes: Interview conducted eight months after SCP-2094 entered containment. <Begin log> SCP-2094 is led into interview chamber. SCP-2094: Bless me blarney stones! It's ol' Doc Sullivan again! How've you been, doc? Because I've been great! Dr. O'Sullivan: Is that a fact? SCP-2094: Of course not, ya dingus! This place is a total shithole! What kinda hotel are you lot running, anyhow? I knew I shoulda booked the Hilton. Dr. O'Sullivan: I'm sorry to hear that. Life in Bio Site-59 might take some getting used to. Is there anything particular you're having trouble adjusting to? SCP-2094: Well, since you asked, the food tastes like elephant guano, the bed's as hard as a rock, and the little red light on the camera keeps me up at night. And would it really kill you guys to stock the bathrooms with two-ply? Seriously, I've slept in prisons that were more hospitable than this place. Dr. O'Sullivan: You know, SCP-2094, if you can provide me with some additional information on the circus, I could put in a formal request for improved– SCP-2094: Oh, not that again! I'm not gonna dish, you hear me? Dr. O'Sullivan: You don't have to tell us anything that might compromise the safety of your family. We're not after sensitive information, necessarily. Just tell me about the circus. Acts you've performed, friends you've made. Anything will work. SCP-2094: Hrm. Anything, huh? Dr. O'Sullivan: Within reason, yes. SCP-2094: And you'll give me junk if I just spin some simple yarns for you? Dr. O'Sullivan: That could be arranged, yes. SCP-2094: Softer bed? Better food? DVDs? Dr. O'Sullivan: Those sound like reasonable requests. SCP-2094: Adult magazines, even? Dr. O'Sullivan: I … I'll see what I can do. SCP-2094 shrugs. SCP-2094: You know what? Sure. Why the hell not? I've been itching to talk to somebody anyway. Where should I start? Dr. O'Sullivan: I think– SCP-2094: (Interrupting) Never mind, I know where. Okay, so picture this: lush, green grass. Wide open space. Blues skies above. Imagine the most perfect day possible– anomalously perfect, you might say. All of our days are like that. Never a raincloud in sight. Now imagine candy-striped tents, and musicians in brightly colored outfits, and balloon animals that prance through the air above you, and clowns that actually succeed at being funny. Picture, if you will, the most beautiful goddamn circus you've ever dreamt of, and then forget about it, because it's nothing compared to Herman Fuller's. Of course, it's not always what you'd call "crowd ready". Things can get a bit, uh, chaotic at times. All right, full disclosure: it's a madhouse more often than not, but by golly, when the normies start rolling in, there's not a hair out of place. You can thank our Ringmaster for that. She's phenomenal, in terms of leadership skill as well as booty. Hello, nurse! She wasn't around when I first arrived, though. The overall look and feel of the circus hasn't really changed since the turn of the century; the people, however, change quite a bit, as they are wont to do. Take me, for example. I think I mentioned before that I wasn't always the charming portrait of confidence I am today. In the early days I was a tender-footed little lad, recently departed from home, overwhelmed by the strange and wonderful world he'd been swept up into. I mostly just stood around staring in dumbstruck awe at everything around me. Never really talked or nothin'. I was a pretty wide-eyed kid, and an adorable one, from what I hear, so obviously they gave me a job as a human clown car. I mean, really, what else could they do but send me on stage with a few dozen clowns waiting to lurch out of my gut? It wasn't the most glamorous job, but I did get some kicks out of it. Heh. You should have seen the looks on the audience's faces when that marching band started parading out from my lips. Priceless. Let's see. After that, I learned some juggling from a guy named Scythe. Total douchebooger, but pretty handy with a pair of swords. I never got to handle them, of course. Just balls and clubs and all that. Scythe was another story entirely. I mean, you could shove a shiv into every square inch of that guy's body and he wouldn't bat an eye. He was a real baby when it came to being set on fire, though, and ended up going up in smoke in the middle of a show. Total spoil sport, dying like that. They held a service for him, but I was busy that day. After a while I got more comfortable around the other folks. Started to assert myself. The clown shtick had to end. I mean, it was fun and all, but it didn't really mesh with my newfound sense of pride. So I did the juggling thing for a while, tossing random junk around and then swallowing it at the end. Pretty low-scale stuff, comparatively speaking, and I knew I'd end up getting relegated to the Den of Freaks if I didn't up my game. Don't get me wrong: there's a ton of great folks in the Den and it's not a bad place, but it's not the big time, you know? So when I got to be a horny teenager, I thought, "why not devour a woman whole?" At first, everyone thought it'd just be a step down from the clown thing, but then I came up with the idea to put a plant in the audience, call them up into the ring, and then swallow them in one gulp. It was all right, I guess, and nicely provocative, but the act didn't really take off until I got Theodore in on it. In addition to being able to turn himself inside-out, Theo also had a knack for the gymnastic stuff, and we managed to make a high diving act out of it. He'd leap off a diving board, flip his innards outwards, and plop right into me. It was a hit, of course. Theo and I got a lot of attention after that, especially once we started dating. Turned out that I found guys just as much fun to swallow as gals. The act got stale after a while, though. And then when I broke it off with Theo, that put the final nail in its coffin. He went back to the Den, and I was gonna be following pretty quick if I didn't think of something new to do. I thought and I thought and brainstormed up a hurricane, but nothing would come to me. I needed a big ticket idea, something that wouldn't just be a hit but would earn me legendary status. And then one day when I was dumping an especially long string of ideas on Quincy, he told me he'd barf a swarm of bees on my face if I didn't shut my motormouth. And then it hit me: Motormouth. I'd gotten pretty talkative at that point, so it was an appropriate enough title to take on, but the act that came with it was a stroke of genius, if I do say so myself. Picture this: two lovely assistants on either side of me. They pull my mouth open good and wide. Then, all of a sudden, a Chrysler comes barreling into the Big Top, hits a ramp, and sails down my throat. Pretty fantastic, huh? … You don't look impressed. Imagination's atrophied, eh? Well, just take my word for it when I say it was pretty damn nifty. Great spectacle value, and legitimately dangerous. I may be magic, but I doubt that even I'd survive a Porsche to the face if it were to miss. I got the legend status I was looking for, of course. Became one of the top-billed acts nearly overnight. Things were going swimmingly for me. And then I ended up here. Way to go for that, ruining my life and all. At least I'll be remembered as a star. That's nice. This still sucks, though, I gotta say. Now how much stuff did that earn me? <End log> Incident Log #1: On 12/07/06, SCP-2094 was found in a state of extreme distress, to the point of self-harm. Bio Site-59 caretakers were able to successfully restrain and sedate SCP-2094. The following is a transcript of statements made by SCP-2094 prior to the incident. <Begin log> SCP-2094 abruptly awakens from sleep. SCP-2094: What are you– no! No! Stop! SCP-2094 clutches the sides of its head and makes pained vocalizations. SCP-2094: Stop it! Don't! Please! I wasn't going to– Stop! SCP-2094 leaps from its bed and begins knocking its head violently against the wall. SCP-2094: Don't– take– anything– SCP-2094 loses balance and falls to the floor. It screams. SCP-2094: It's all I have, now, Manny! It's all I have! <End log> When SCP-2094 was taken out of its sedated state, it displayed symptoms of severe retrograde amnesia in episodic memory, specifically in memories related to its experiences in GoI-233. Dr. O'Sullivan was issued an official reprimand for not using more immediate information extraction techniques before the incident took place, and resigned from his post as lead researcher for SCP-2094 on 01/15/07. SCP-2094 entered a severely depressed psychological state following this incident. Dr. Anniston began psychotropic treatment of SCP-2094's condition on 02/03/07. Dr. Anniston's Report #1: The following is a message sent from Dr. Anniston to Site Director Bluthe on 02/13/07. Hello, I am writing to you today to inform you that SCP-2094 has undergone an extreme change in personality since I was first assigned to it early last year. Before, it was lively, energetic, and highly talkative, quick to engage in banter and turn of phrase. Speaking freely, it was one of the few patients I enjoyed speaking with, occasional lewd remarks notwithstanding. However, since the December incident, SCP-2094 has grown increasingly withdrawn. In addition to its depression, it has developed severe anxiety, and appears to be in a constant state of terror at its surroundings. Its interpersonal skills have rapidly degenerated, to the point of being visibly nervous around interviewers, even those permitted to address it by its given name for bonding purposes. SCP-2094 has also shown a marked decrease in its interest in physical activity, including juggling, which was a pastime in which it regularly engaged in with any object it could get its hands on. I know that your vision for Bio Site-59 is one where anomalies are kept reasonably healthy and happy, and the success of your mental health treatment initiative continues to positively influence other humanoid containment facilities. However, I'm afraid that there's only so much that I can do at this point. Attempts to treat its depression have worsened its anxiety, and attempts to treat its anxiety have worsened its depression. I have consulted with my peers on this issue, and we agree that SCP-2094's unstable mental state puts riskier options out of the equation. We will continue to do our best to treat SCP-2094 medicinally and through counseling, but it seems unlikely that SCP-2094 will return to its previous disposition. Given your commitment to SCP quality of life, I know this will come as a disappointment to you, especially after the letter you sent noting your fondness for its unconventional interview logs. I felt it was important for you to be aware of the situation, and given your background in the mental health field, I hope that you will not hesitate to offer any advice you may have concerning the situation. Dr. Miranda Anniston Incident Log #2 On 03/11/07, SCP-2094 was found attempting to consume itself in what is presumed to be a suicide attempt. Bio Site-59 caretakers were able to successfully restrain and sedate SCP-2094. Dr. Anniston approved paperwork placing SCP-2094 on Level-2 suicide watch on 03/12/07. Dr. Anniston's Report #2: The following is a message sent from Dr. Anniston to Site Director Bluthe on 04/15/14. Hello, As you are aware, I have been in charge of overseeing SCP-2094's psychiatric treatment for the past eight years. During that time, it has shown minimal and inconsistent progress, continually resisting treatment and refusing to cooperate with me and my staff. However, over the past two months, I've observed a significant degree of improvement in SCP-2094's overall condition. It's beginning to open up about its thoughts and feelings for the first time in years, and has even requested juggling clubs, which it has been granted access to under supervision. SCP-2094 has yet to completely explain what led to its improvement in mood, but so far I've been able to gather that it has "made peace with the past", "forgiven and been forgiven in return," and "gotten back something valuable". Presumably, these statements have to do with it regaining some memories lost to its amnesia. Due to the comparatively high level of cooperation SCP-2094 has shown recently, I am not pressing for further answers at this time, although more in-depth interviews are scheduled to be conducted. Yesterday afternoon, SCP-2094 submitted a formal request to hold a performance for the staff of Bio Site-59. It is my personal recommendation that this request be granted–under strictly supervised conditions, of course–as long as SCP-2094's condition continues to show improvement. I've lowered suicide risk level to RL-1, and hope to see it at RL-L by the end of the year. As you are aware, high-risk humanoids are a substantial drain on resources, and it is my hope that we will be able to use some of the funding saved on extreme supervision for additional research. It's likely that, over the course of reading this letter, the thought has crossed your mind that SCP-2094 is merely putting on an act to manipulate personnel into complying with its whims. As SCP-2094's primary caretaker for almost the entirety of the past decade, I can safely say that if it is, in fact, acting, then we can assume with certainty that SCP-2094 is once again as healthy as it was during its first few years of containment. Eccentric, yes, but healthy. Dr. Miranda Anniston Selected Interview #3: Interviewer: Dr. Anniston Interviewee: SCP-2094 Notes: The following is an excerpt from an interview recorded on 5/16/14. <Begin log> Dr. Anniston: And he ate the entire thing? SCP-2094: Yeah, the entire thing! (Laughs) I told him it was my job. Dr. Anniston: And then what did you do? SCP-2094: Oh, you know. I just decided to take the high road and give 'im a couple minutes time out in my gut. Dr. Anniston: You didn't! SCP-2094: I did, indeed! Boy, Manny was furious. Not as furious as he was after the ol' noodle incident of course, but you know. Dr. Anniston: You're referring to the misadventure that led to you ending up in the trunk, correct? I've wondered about that for a while now. Have you gotten those memories back? SCP-2094: Yeah. I still don't have everything, but I've got all of that stuff. Kinda wish I could forget it. Dr. Anniston: That's all right. I'm not going to press you about it if you're not ready. SCP-2094: Heh. I know you won't. That's why I'm gonna tell ya. Dr. Anniston: You really don't have to– SCP-2094: Too late. I've made up my mind. Okay, so you know how Manny saved me from my rotten home life? Dr. Anniston: I do. SCP-2094: Well, that's how Manny did things for a long time. He helped people. I don't think he had been in charge that long before I joined. The thing is, the longer he was in power, the more he changed. It was little things at first, you know? Snippier attitude and all that. Folks just chalked it up to the stress of keeping all of us weirdos in order. But then he started bringing in these kids– he'd always brought in kids, of course, every once in a while. Maybe about two or three a year. That may sound like a lot of kids, but you gotta remember that the Circus of the Disquieting isn't just a single show, it's a multifaceted entertainment extravaganza. There's the Big Top show, of course, but there's also the Den of Freaks, the Menagerie of Mayhem, the individual tents for special acts, not to mention all of the non-performance jobs… Point is we've got a plethora of people in all sorts of places, both kids and adults. But at some point or another, Manny started bringing in kids that were different from the ones who'd come before. I should know; I was the one who usually worked with them. Manny gave the usual stories. Broken family, orphan, saved from the streets, stuff like that. But there was something off about them. I figured it was just trauma, or they were overwhelmed by the circus like I had been, but something still didn't feel quite right. I didn't trust my gut, though. I was stupid for a long time. I put on my charm, played around with them, got them to warm up to the circus and forget about whatever it was that haunted them. That changed with this one kid, though. Little girl. Delicate little thing– literally, that was her whole shtick. She'd fall to pieces and put herself back together again. I was standing with her one day, trying to teach her to juggle herself, and all of a sudden she just broke down and started crying, saying she wanted to go home. That was when I knew, deep in my gut, that Manny'd been taking kids. If The Man with the Upside-Down Face wants you to keep quiet about something, it's no easy feat to share it. I yelled. I fought. I told him that wasn't how we did things anymore. And you know what he did? He slapped me straight across the face and told me that he was just doing what he could do to keep the circus alive. Can you believe that? Even with everything we were doing, he still thought the circus was on the verge of collapse. In hindsight, I think he might have just been overly worried, or maybe still hung up on Fuller's way of doing things. Either way, it's still no excuse for what he did. I couldn't stand it. I had to do something. I stashed the girl away in my mouth and snuck her off to the Kaleidoscope. She was home before lunch. Manny was waiting for me when I got back. He was livid, of course. Said I'd betrayed him, betrayed the circus, betrayed the trust that was put in me when I got transportation privileges. He made a huge deal out of it. Called everybody together to watch him locking me in the trunk for you guys to find. Heh. It's kind of funny looking back on it, now that I know that it practically killed him to do it. He was so scared of losing control. He had to make an example of me. "Essie P" was the big bugaboo around the circus at the time, see, since the big "Mickey D" scare had blown over. It makes sense that he'd use that to his advantage. He had to get me out of the picture, but at least he sent me somewhere safe. Yeesh, look at me talk. You got anything to drink in here? <End log> ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2094" by PeppersGhost, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-2094.

SCP-2095 | safe | SCP-2095 after excavation in 08/07/1948. Item #: SCP-2095 Special Containment Procedures: Reliquary Site-26 was constructed around SCP-2095, preventing access and enclosing it from view. Site-26 has been disguised as a weather observatory and agents within the Greek government are to ensure that the site is publicly viewed as such. Description: SCP-2095 is a primarily subterranean temple complex1 located at Gyaros, an arid and uninhabited Greek island in the Aegean Sea. Structure predates previously known archaeological sites on the island. Inscriptions found within have included Cretan hieroglyphs, Linear A, Hittite Cuneiform, and a previously unknown writing system composed of spiral-shaped glyphs varying in complexity.2 SCP-2095 is composed of entirely biological material and is believed to have once been a living organism. Samples taken from SCP-2095 have revealed bone, chitin, muscle, adipose and viscera. Radiocarbon dating has placed the subject's death at cal 1200–1000 BCE (1σ) with soft tissue having undergone a form of embalmment. Chambers are connected together via tunnels which are structurally and cellularly similar to the inner lining of the human intestinal tract. Large sphincters appear to have served as doors and are permanently relaxed. These portals would have likely been able to open and close as needed pre-mortem. The largest room contains an altar composed of bone, a component of the SCP-2095 organism. Forensic evidence suggests that it was used in a sacrificial manner. It is believed possible that living sacrifices provided SCP-2095 with the nutrients necessary for its survival and the floor itself shows signs of acidic corrosion. The base of the altar has been carved into an Ouroboros, believed to be a symbol of religious importance to the creators of SCP-2095. Twenty-nine scrolls were discovered within the northern most chamber of SCP-2095. Only four were found to be written in Hittite Cuneiform while the rest remain undecipherable. Of those four, three are considered to be of a spiritual/philosophical nature while one appears to be an inventory report. Foundation archaeologists have found evidence of warfare throughout the island. This has included skeletal remains depicting likely anomalous causes for death such as implosion, internal combustion, disintegration, radiation poisoning, and fatal physical reconfiguration. The Foundation became aware of SCP-2095 after reports of a "cathedral of bone" being discovered by a team of Greek archaeologists who had been studying a large mound on the isle of Gyaros. Class-B Amnestics were administered and the archaeologists were returned to the general population. SCP-2095 was easily secured and construction of Reliquary Site-26 was completed by 12/09/1949. + INVENTORY - ACCESS GRANTED Resources: [illegible] 1340 slaves - 10 surrendered at the Shrine of Consumption when the Black Moon holds dominion over the Heavens 12 biltu of gold, pure3 1200 goats 300 pigs [fragment missing] Our Sacred Legion: 3000 Adytite faithful 500 Thracian faithful, including 12 ["storm-beasts"?] 2000 Urartu ["converts"/"conscripts"?] 400 Sardinian mercenaries 250 Kaskian faithful 100 Caphtor conspirators - can their loyalty be trusted when they so easily betrayed their own?4 300 Mycenaean mercenaries Armory: 2550 bone-crafted blades and shields 2000 bone-crafted bows 10,000 bone-crafted arrows, poisoned with hellebore and venom of adder 60 amphora of [illegible] 200 amphora of "liquid fire" 20 "curse tablets" - placed around perimeter of island 1 amphora of "Red Death" + SCROLL I - ACCESS GRANTED The Wound, cut from the flesh of totality - deep, it severed the line of future and past. Drawn to its ancient fester, gods swarmed as flies to a corpse. We waited within bloodless veins, faithful to that which we could not know - unable to imagine that we might become their greater. Here, we slept - until our souls became flesh. Sone Alku + SCROLL II - ACCESS GRANTED [heavily stained; paragraph illegible] The swineherd prostrated himself before the Sorcerer-King and asked, "Great Sorcerer-King and Ozi̮rmok, Heart of Man and Light of Lights. I speak for the folk of the cold-marsh. We fear the red lanterns that dance without harmony; our spirit-guides warn of ill omens." And Ion did assure the man, "I have gazed upon the Faceless Ones, servitors of His Undulating Vastness. Their chief is blind - castrated by our words and will. He sings songs of anarchy but they will not come again. These terrible spirits do not deserve our love; render unto them no sacrifice until the stars have aligned." Sone Vith + SCROLL III - ACCESS GRANTED And to his flock, Ion thus spoke: "I have stepped beyond the Floe of Dreams; stood before the Old Ones within their own desolate domain. I have endured their intolerable force, across countless eons. I have seen the infinite dead worlds, murdered death herself. I have read the entrails of our Creator, beheld eternity unfurled. Know that our paradise draws near. And with our own flesh shall we birth it. Sone Skaal Addendum: On 05/24/2014, an earthquake occurred in the Aegean Sea. Reliquary Site-26 was unharmed, as were the anomalous objects retained within since its construction. SCP-2095 did however suffer some structural damage but proved to be a serendipitous event. A hitherto unknown sphincter, sealed and hidden through calcification, had ruptured open within the altar chamber. Exploration of the chamber led to the discovery of the body of a human male. Individual has shown no signs of decay and although lacking a detectable heartbeat, EEG scans have revealed low-level brain activity. Research into the subject and its relationship with SCP-2095 is currently ongoing. Found inside was a single well-preserved scroll, strewn carelessly and likely never meant to be contained within. Deduced to be a letter, it is believed to have been written by the ruling authority at SCP-2095 but had been unsent, possibly due to events directly referenced within. The document has been translated and is now accessible for viewing by Foundation personnel: + UNSENT LETTER - ACCESS GRANTED Grand Karcist Ion, May this missive find you at Kythera, for it shall be my last. Our enemies have begun their assault on the island but we have completed the Rite of Preservation. The Temple will sleep and await Resurrection by the Children of Adytum. The Fallen Kingdoms and Followers of Mekhane have united against us, even as their nations crumble. Still, they have transmuted our every victory in the region to that of defeat, even as their own fates are sealed. The Bleeding Heart is our last stronghold in the Aegean Sea but no doubt our Eastern Domain remains strong under your eternal gaze. The Wounds sustained today will heal - into the ages of ages, we are undying. Their victory here shall be hollow. Karcist Meksa has claimed their Profane Instruments and sails for Kythera as I write this. I vow that none are to leave this island alive. May their names be obliterated and their flesh consumed. We summon the Red Death. For the blood of heathens, we sacrifice ourselves. We will meet again in Adytum. I remain, Karcist Tundas Seal attached to letter. Prologue: In Principio Erat Verbum | In Memoria, Adytum Footnotes 1. Part of the outer structure is above ground. The interior of SCP-2095 is entirely subsurface. 2. Of the writing systems used at SCP-2095, only Hittite Cuneiform has been translated. 3. 360 kg. 4.

SCP-2096 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2096 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2096 is to be held in an MSHA1 containment cell at Area 26. Following Event 08/29/2001-2, the subject has remained in a comatose state. A minimum of one Medical Department personnel and one Research Department personnel are to monitor SCP-2096 at all times. In the event of SCP-2096 regaining consciousness, Containment Subterfuge Protocol 002 ("Conventional Medical Facility") is to be initiated until current containment protocols are reestablished. To maximize the probability and speed of re-containment in the case of an SCP-2096 event, autonomous redundancy systems have been implemented. Personnel monitoring the subject are required to send messages to personnel at Site 19 no less frequently than three times an hour. If no messages are received for thirty minutes, automated lockdown of Area 26 will initiate. Because of the potential variance in duration for an SCP-2096 event, this lockdown will be maintained until reestablishment of containment protocols has been verified. Description: SCP-2096 is a Caucasian female, eighty-one years of age. The subject, given name █████ ███████, is within average parameters of physical health for an individual of their age. SCP-2096 has been designated a Class 3U reality bender.2 SCP-2096 events are triggered by the subject's level of emotional distress and increase in intensity in proportion to the same vector. Recorded SCP-2096 events have to date always been preceded by the subject experiencing cognitive or physical impairment attributable to their dementia. When the subject is faced with a situation where any of their functions are noticeably diminished, the ensuing temporary reality restructuring event alters the cognitive functions of individuals within the effect vicinity to replicate the impairments being experienced by SCP-2096. Most often this results in those affected involuntarily undergoing analogues to SCP-2096's current memory loss; common examples have included confusion regarding their current location, the inability to identify others on sight, and the inability to remember the procedures for fine motor skill activities. While the effect occurs very rapidly following the onset of distress it is not instantaneous, with delay durations reaching as high as sixty-seven seconds in recorded events. Cessation of effect is similar in delay. According to medical records acquired from the family of SCP-2096 upon containment, the subject began to present symptoms of Alzheimer's disease in August of 1998. These symptoms were first documented following hospitalization for injuries suffered after a fall in the home; the accident has since been theorized to be an acute representation of the onset of truncal ataxia. Formal diagnosis of Alzheimer's was made in December of 1998 following continued symptomatic behaviors. Prior to the onset of Alzheimer's in SCP-2096, no anomalous events had been recorded by the family or any medical institution. It is as of yet unclear whether the subject's facets as a reality bender had been latent prior to neurological degeneration or if all SCP-2096 events prior to the condition were comprehensive enough in their reality restructuring as to leave no evidence of previous consensus realities. Discovery: SCP-2096 was voluntarily remanded into Foundation custody by family members on 5/27/2001 following a temporary reality restructuring event which resulted in a multi-vehicle accident and the hospitalization of the subject and several others. Foundation liaisons in place at the medical facility were alerted to the potentially anomalous nature of the subject by familial testimony of prior events during the hospital's intake process. Event 08/29/2001-1 Report: Duration: 00:00:49 Maximum Recorded Area of Effect: ≈ 7m Notes: The subject's facets activated following a sudden and asymptomatic onset of emotional distress, manifested physically in the form of excessive weeping. Administration of sedation was in progress when SCP-2096's anomalous effect manifested. Personnel within the area of effect were functionally incapacitated by racking sobs and an emotional state consistently characterized after the event as "hopeless" by those affected. Enough sedative had been administered to permit rapid termination of the event in spite of the protocol's interruption by personnel incapacitation. Following Event 08/29/2001-1, review of on-site and off-site mental health accessibility for personnel who have experienced an SCP-2096 event has been proposed. Event 08/29/2001-2 Report: Duration: 00:24:17 Maximum Recorded Area of Effect: ≈ 1.2km Notes: SCP-2096 began to laugh with rapidly increasing intensity. Onset was minimal enough in delay and severe enough in intensity to preclude normal sedation protocols. Uncontrollable fits of laughter were experienced by all personnel at Area 26 and anecdotal evidence implies that the area of effect reached as far the outskirts of ██████, ██ at its peak. The subject experienced laughter-induced syncope and lost consciousness at 00:11:25 before awakening at 00:17:51 with no lingering emotional incontinence. The approximately thirteen minute delay between the end of SCP-2096's emotional distress via unconsciousness and the termination of its effect on individuals within the effect vicinity was unprecedented. Following Event 08/29/2001-2, the Palmer Protocol3 has been invoked by approval of SCP-2096 Lead Researcher Emsworth. SCP-2096 has been chemically induced into a comatose state as of 08/30/2001. The duration of this containment protocol is currently unspecified; weekly evaluations of the subject's state of physical health and potential revisions to the primary containment procedures are scheduled. Addendum 10/17/2001: SCP-2096 was diagnosed on 10/15/2001 with a moderate chest infection; this type of condition often occurs in comatose subjects due to the general absence of the cough reflex. Treatment thus far has prevented the worsening of the condition but has been ineffective as a cure. As part of the weekly evaluation procedure on 10/17/2001, a proposal to wake SCP-2096 in the hopes of mitigating continued growth of the infection and to improve quality of life has been suggested. A counter-proposal of euthanization, citing the known and presumed risks of SCP-2096 in a conscious state following Event 08/29/2001-2, was made. Both proposals will be presented to an Ethics Committee tribunal during the next weekly evaluation on 10/24/2001. Ethics Committee Report 10/29/2001: The tribunal responsible for this casefile's review has determined that the risks garnered by waking SCP-2096 outweigh the potential quality of life benefits. Were it the case that a return to both full physical health and manageable mental health states were probable, this decision would have been more complex; unfortunately, this is not so. Nor is it practical to continue to keep SCP-2096 in its comatose state, given no current projections suggesting significant enough medical advances that would permit an acceptable level of quality of life. Euthanization of SCP-2096 has been scheduled for 10/30/2001. Reclassification to Neutralized will take place following confirmation of the procedure's success. - Jennifer Rumsey, Ethics Committee Regional Director Footnotes 1.

SCP-2097 | safe | Item #: SCP-2097 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2097 is to be held in a well-lit standard containment chamber. Historical Mongolian texts and children's books written in Spanish are to be arranged on the floor nearby; different texts are to be rotated in on a monthly basis. The room is to be monitored by four CCTV cameras, with at least one directly focused on SCP-2097 at all times. Access to the chamber is to require Level-3 clearance. Should instances of SCP-2097-1 manifest, Researcher Adams (or the Level-3 Researcher currently assigned to SCP-2097) is to be informed immediately. Description: SCP-2097 has four observed forms: a fencing foil, a leaf-shaped arc, a thin sheet of metal, and a curved metal plate. The material that SCP-2097 is composed of may vary between manifested forms; material analysis does not reveal any abnormalities in the substances themselves. SCP-2097 will transition repeatedly between these forms, with its most common appearance being a thin sheet of aluminum. SCP-2097's transformation process is irregular and instantaneous; high speed camera footage reveals the object changing from one form to the next apparently in between frames. Prior to first manifestation of SCP-2097-2, a piece of paper with a written message (henceforth referred to as SCP-2097-1) would occasionally materialize next to SCP-2097. Instances of SCP-2097-1 were usually written in crude English, though one instance was written in Mongolian. See below for examples of messages found on instances of SCP-2097-1. worthy teacher why does no word rhyme with orange is it most beautiful word? what is mr. and dr. and mrs. and ms. those aren't words this is not perfect friend, why is it tooth and teeth not booth and beeth? Instances of SCP-2097-1 were later discovered to have been sent by SCP-2097-2. Writing on instances of SCP-2097-1 allowed the Foundation to communicate with SCP-2097-2 before it began to physically manifest in Foundation containment. SCP-2097-2 is an entity that assumes the appearance of a Puss Moth caterpillar (Cerura vinula) and claims to have created SCP-2097. SCP-2097-2 is able to produce high-pitched vocalizations and can communicate in Mongolian and basic English. It claims to be a minor deity serving the god Tengri and has demonstrated detailed knowledge of the Mongol Empire. Throughout its interactions with the Foundation, SCP-2097-2 has been cooperative and amicable. It consistently expresses a desire for the presence of a man named "Juan". + Interview Log 2097-01 - hide log Interview Log 2097-01 Notes: This is the first recorded instance of communication with SCP-2097-2. Researcher Adams was the active listed researcher of SCP-2097 at this time. Communication was achieved through writing on instances of SCP-2097-1. SCP-2097-2's reply appears within a few seconds; written messages are capitalized to distinguish from spoken dialogue. Adams: HELLO SCP-2097-2: HELLO Adams: IS ANYONE THERE? SCP-2097-2: YES. IT HAS BEEN LONG SINCE YOU WROTE BACK. Adams: HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN? SCP-2097-2: A FEW MONTHS. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Adams: I HAVE BEEN BUSY (There was no reply for three minutes. SCP-2097-2 then materialized next to SCP-2097) Adams: Shit! SCP-2097-2: Who are you? Adams: I am Researcher Adams. What- (SCP-2097-2 interrupts Adams) SCP-2097-2: Where am I? What is Researcher? Where is Juan? Adams: Calm down. You are in a safe place. I am a doctor and I am here to help you. Can you tell me more about Juan? SCP-2097-2: (Unintelligible Mongolian)) (Post interview, this translated into various expletives directed towards Researcher Adams.) Adams: Sorry, I did not understand that. Could you- (Adams is interrupted again) SCP-2097-2: Bring me books! At this point, SCP-2097-2 ceases communication and vanishes. Containment procedures were updated and subsequent interviews included the presence of a Mongolian translator. Addendum 2097-01: Since books were introduced to the containment area, SCP-2097-2 has been observed to appear every twenty-three days, examining the books for eight hours before disappearing. However, upon personnel entering the containment area while SCP-2097-2 is present, it will immediately demanifest and will not appear for another twenty-three days. After a year of this continued behavior, Researcher Adams left a note on top of SCP-2097: "Please talk to me." At the next cycle, SCP-2097-2 remained in the room while Adams was present (see interview log). + Interview Log 2097-07 - hide log Notes: This interview was conducted in Mongolian with the help of a translator. It has been translated into English for ease of reading. Adams: Please tell me who Juan is, who you are, and what this is. (points at SCP-2097) SCP-2097-2: I am Shiba, one of knowledge, servant of god Tengri. This shape is one of my forms incarnate, allows me to read. Juan is my English teacher. He is a wise and valiant explorer. His real name is Juan Caballero and he is an Spaniard, a friend of deities and creator of perfect things. Adams: Do you know what that thing is? (gestures to SCP-2097) SCP-2097-2: It is proof of divine friendship. After many trials, our first masterpiece, the one Juan wished to keep. With Juan's knowledge and my power, together we make for the world the most beautiful things. Words that are many things are beautiful. We make things worthy of their name. Juan swore he would continue our work. Where is Juan? Did you take him? Adams: I don't know where Juan is, but I can help you find him. Can you tell me more about Juan? SCP-2097-2: Juan told me that he loves to explore the world. I met him at the Lake of Youth while I was reading a book, and he taught me English! I still remember the first book he read to me, The Canterbury Tales. We had lessons every day and he would tell me about the wonders of the world, or stories about his travels. To share, I would tell him the history of the Mongol Empire. Adams: Why do you only come here once every twenty-three days? SCP-2097-2: What are you talking about? I come every day to read! <End of log> A search for the man named "Juan Caballero", described as an Spanish scholar and explorer, is currently ongoing. Addendum 2097-02: Foundation investigation has discovered a Juan Caballero, deceased since 1548. Mr. Caballero was an obscure scholar and documented to be fluent in Spanish, English, and Old Norse. Although the Foundation did not find any record of him being familiar with the Mongolian language, it is probable that this is the man that SCP-2097-2 is referring to. Efforts are ongoing to recover more information about this individual and their descendants. Addendum 2097-03: On ██/██/██, SCP-2097-2 appeared in the containment area along with two sheets of stainless steel, a 1 cm thick piece of oak wood and a leaf from the Bearded Iris (Iris germanica). SCP-2097-2 explained that it "had remembered what Juan had wanted to work on next". Researcher Adams told SCP-2097-2 that the Foundation had found someone who knows where Juan is, and suggested that SCP-2097-2 return later. SCP-2097-2 replied, "It will be good to meet again. He is an uncommonly honest man, and always kept his promises." and demanifested, leaving the materials in the containment area. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2097" by SilverWind, Zyn, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2098 | keter | Item #: SCP-2098 Special Containment Procedures: All containment efforts are directed towards surveillance of Prime Susceptibility Communities and rapid mobilization of venue disruption teams upon confirmation of a SCP-2098 Phase 2 event. Site-23's two dedicated PSC-2098 monitoring team members are to maintain media oversight of yet-unaffected Prime Susceptibility Communities as their sole function. GenStat Team 88-Bartleby is to maintain the ongoing global media search procedures for SCP-2098 activity outside of Prime Susceptibility Communities at a Priority 3 in their duty cycle (to be altered as necessary by site management, RAISA, or O5 mandate). Containment teams stationed in active SCP-2098 communities are to monitor and maintain an accurate record of all instances of "Saint Simon's Day" and intervene to prevent virulent behaviors in any SCP-2098 vectors. SCP-2098-Red vectors should be taken into custody under the guise of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and remanded to Site-23 for analysis and disposal. Containment teams are to use standard hearing protection when attempting to contain any potential SCP-2098-Red vector. Local monitoring teams are to be stationed in any community affected by a SCP-2098 event, regardless of whether or not disruption was successful. Expanded local mass media surveillance (to include delivery methods such as skywriting, smartphone-based advertising, and faith-based community outreach) should continue indefinitely until further research determines the long-term effects of event exposure on community susceptibility. Sanctioned venue disruption can range from simply renting the facility/space in question to making it permanently uninhabitable in extreme cases. Venue disruption has proven effective in preventing 100% of SCP-2098 events detected before Phase 3 begins. This requires a minimum of resources or long-term intervention in most cases. All available notifications (banners, flyers, posters, pamphlets, videotapes, etc.) of an SCP-2098 event are to be collected following its conclusion regardless of its success or failure. Description: SCP-2098 is most easily understood as a "virulent holiday". SCP-2098 is the cumulative reference for a series of anomalous phenomena and behaviors which overwrite existing human perception of a calendar date (or dates) with the belief that the date in question is a holiday designated "Saint Simon's Day". In practice, SCP-2098 behaves in a manner roughly analogous to a pathogen, infecting human perception of the calendar date through self-replicating SCP-2098 events. These events alter human perception of the date to varying degrees in order to sustain existing perceptive anomalies and/or propagate further events. It is theorized that without intervention, 100% of the human population would perceive and "celebrate" Saint Simon's Day every calendar day within twenty-six (26) years, resulting in an XB-Class Perceptive Restructuring Scenario. To date, all communities experiencing an SCP-2098 event have been located in American-held states and territories which do not observe Daylight Savings Time, and have been in existence as distinct civic entities no earlier than January 1st, 1969. Communities meeting these criteria are designated Prime Susceptibility Communities. There is currently no evidence of an SCP-2098 event occurring prior to 1969, though research is ongoing to determine if the SCP-2098 effect is new and unique only to this geographic/legislative region, or if it exists/has existed with differing parameters elsewhere. Though events have thus far only taken place in this limited range, SCP-2098-Red vectors can easily transmit infection to communities and individuals outside this zone. Due to Foundation intervention, no documented infection has yet taken root outside of a Prime Susceptibility Community. SCP-2098 phenomena proceed along a currently predictable course: Phase 1 - SCP-2098 will begin to manifest in a target community through altered signage/advertising for a local gathering. This will invariably include some iteration of the phrase "Saint Simon". Targeted events are always community-wide in scope with no formal invitation required (such as a race, festival, fair, or parade). SCP-2098 will progressively co-opt such a community event over the course of two to thirty days (see list of previous instances). At this phase, only a single media outlet may be affected, and the naming convention may not yet be consistent or logical. + Example of Phase 1 Activity - Example of Phase 1 Activity In event 2098-6, flyers for the Chino Valley, Arizona Firemen's Association Pancake Breakfast were affected 12 days before the event date to read alternatively: "Saint Simon's Day Oracular Catechesis", "Saint Simon's Day Bisected Youth Vigil", and "Feast of Saint Simon's Timorous Indulgence". The words "Saint Simon" in promotional materials are thus far the only commonalities between announcements for SCP-2098 events at this phase. Containment teams are to verify a shift to Phase 2 before attempting any form of intervention as targeted venues and event types have shifted randomly during Phase 1, leading to confusion and loss of containment. There is currently no reliable protocol for effective neutralization of an SCP-2098 event during Phase 1. Phase 2 - 48 hours before the event date, all promotional materials for the event will alter to include a consistent iteration of "Saint Simon" in their title. In addition, the venue will be consistent across these materials, and they will specify a duration of 12pm to 4pm without exception. Widespread perceptive anomalies will first manifest in the affected community during Phase 2, with 100% of residents possessing accurate but unsourced knowledge of the event date, duration, venue, and name. There appears to be no accompanying compulsion to attend the event despite this knowledge. Unless the venue is rendered unavailable, the scheduled community gathering will take place in accordance with the time and date indicated on the SCP-2098-altered media. Venue disruption is the only currently proven means of preventing an SCP-2098 event. + Example of Phase 2 Activity - Example of Phase 2 Activity In event 2098-7, seven out of fifteen community members interviewed reported to have seen anomalous promotional materials during Phase 1, but could not reliably say what the advertised event constituted or when it was. 48 hours before the consistently advertised Phase 2 event date, 100% of interviewees confirmed the date, venue, time, and nature of the event as "The Saint Simon's Day Flensing Cursillo. Sunday from 12-4." Interviewees reported no confusion regarding this name. Promotional materials for the event posted through various media outlets consistently designated the event as "The Saint Simon's Day Flensing Cursillo" to take place on Sunday, 10/21/1991, from 12pm to 4pm at the local Vista del Montana park. Note that despite the anomalous name change, physical preparations for this event proceeded normally—the co-opted event was a chili cookoff. Phase 3 - At 12:01:01 PM on the confirmed date, an SCP-2098 event will enter Phase 3. All persons within the designated community event boundaries will cease voluntary movement for precisely sixteen minutes and sixteen seconds (ending 12:17:17 PM local time). Non-human life is not affected by SCP-2098 events. If observed at a range closer than 15 meters during this time, the observer will enter the event boundaries and be affected accordingly. Although close-range medical tests are not possible, viewing from minimum safe distance indicates that 2098-affected individuals continue to respirate and blink normally for the duration of the stasis. Mild to moderate physical interaction from a non-human entity or outside force will break this stasis, causing the affected individual(s) to fall prone and collapse into a fully unconscious state that will last until the cessation of the event at 12:17:17 PM local time. Phase 4 - At 12:17:17 PM local time, the event enters Phase 4. All affected individuals will leave stasis (including those who may have been rendered unconscious and prone due to outside forces) and return to their homes by whatever means they arrived at the venue. While affected individuals will not violently resist attempts to interfere with their return to their homes, should one individual affected by SCP-2098 be detained, the remaining affected subjects will come to their aid and attempt to remove whatever persons or obstacles are preventing the individual from returning to their home. + Example of Phase 4 Activity - Example of Phase 4 Activity In event 2098-4, an attempt was made to quarantine the entire venue (a local veteran's meeting hall) to observe affected subjects. Despite door barricades and non-lethal deterrents, the two hundred and sixty-four (264) affected subjects would or could not respond to questioning and took any opportunity available to attempt to exit the premises and return to their residences, even if this resulted in their injury. After barricades were removed and the containment team allowed the affected individuals to leave, none of those later interviewed recalled their detention or anything other than a pleasant day at the "53rd Annual Saint Simon's Day Petrichoric Exhortation". Note that the affected community had been in existence for less than three years, and the physically prepared event was a silent auction for a local charity. In event 2098-5, the entire affected populace was quarantined under the guise of a Valley Fever outbreak. The Pyrrhus protocol was authorized and its use effectively neutralized the spread of the localized SCP-2098 infection. After Ethics Committee review, this containment method has been disallowed. Phase 5 - The final phase of an SCP-2098 event transitions the affected populace into two distinct vector classes (Green and Red) within 6 hours of return to their homes. If prevented from returning to their homes, vector classes manifest within 1-2 hours, making community inventory and maintenance far more practical if the populace is permitted to return to their homes during Phase 4. This is current SOP for non-disrupted events. + Green-Vector Information - Green-Vector Information Individuals designated SCP-2098-Green (appended with specific event #) will consider the date of their SCP-2098 exposure event to be "Saint Simon's Day". This affects both past recollections of the date as well as future dates. For instance, 2098-Green-6 individuals consider all past and future Octobers the 21st to be "Saint Simon's Day". SCP-2098-Green vectors recall their exposure event date to have proceeded normally; they recall a full 4-5 hours of specific conversations and activities on their exposure date despite having experienced only sixteen minutes and sixteen seconds of linear time. Amnestic therapy has been successful in eliminating these fabricated memories, but the assertion that all past and future anniversaries of the event date are "Saint Simon's Day" remains with affected subjects. When presented with conflicting information regarding the existence of such a holiday, 2098-Green vectors express mild confusion, but retain their conviction regarding the anomalous date and will continue to act accordingly on subsequent anniversaries of their exposure date. Children and (in two verified cases) grandchildren of 2098-Green vectors will refer to their parent's original exposure date as "Saint Simon's Day" upon reaching approximately three years of age. These individuals are also classed as SCP-2098-Green vectors and share their parent's anomalous experience of the original exposure date despite the fact they were not yet born—they are able to recall the same fabricated conversations and activities experienced by their parent on the initial exposure date with 100% accuracy. Long-term monitoring has not established any further behavioral or perceptual disturbances in 2098-Green subjects or established a limit to how many generations it may persist within a family line. + Red-Vector Information - Red-Vector Information SCP-2098-Red vectors are generated when an SCP-2098 event takes place on the affected subject's birthday. Current research indicates that 2098-Red vectors exhibit the following characteristics across all affected communities, though observation is limited and difficult pending updated contact procedures: - SCP-2098-Red instances are constantly active, highly virulent vectors for SCP-2098 perceptive infection. If they are heard speaking by unaffected individuals at a range of closer than 15 meters for longer than approximately 120 seconds, such individuals will become 2098-Green instances; substituting the date of exposure with "Saint Simon's Day" and attendant phenomena. Audio/visual recordings of 2098-Red vectors do not retain this effect. - SCP-2098-Red vectors can selectively omit existing holidays from widespread perception through extended public speaking. If allowed to speak for greater than a 1200-second threshold, any individuals (affected or unaffected) capable of hearing and understanding the 2098-Red vector will begin to replace knowledge of existing, culturally established holidays with the fabricated information regarding "Saint Simon's Day" provided by the 2098-Red instance. Subjects affected by this aspect of SCP-2098-Red vectors can identify multiple dates as "Saint Simon's Day" concurrently without cognitive dissonance. - SCP-2098-Red vectors will experience rapid atrophy of their memories and personality over the 36-hour period following their initial exposure event. They retain no memory of their previous identity at 48 hours. After this time, the 2098-Red vector will consider themselves to be the eponymous "Saint Simon", and work exhaustively to make themselves visible and heard by as many people as possible. No biographical information regarding this identity has been established as 2098-Red instances proselytize incoherently almost constantly, and seem unaware of questions directed towards them. Amnestic therapy has not proven effective in restoring any functional memory within SCP-2098-Red vectors. Addenda: + Record 2098-966.3 - Official Vatican Inquiry and Concurrent Research - Record 2098-966.3 - Official Vatican Inquiry and Concurrent Research On 4/17/1974, Foundation researchers requested access to the Vatican library records pertaining to the biblical/historical Saint Simon. These records were not made available until the 1983 Code of Canon Law revision was in place, which contained additional, unpublished Vatican provisions and guidelines for requests of this nature. After thorough examination of the released documents, no correlation was drawn between the biblical/historical personage of Saint Simon with any of the anomalous effects in question. However, records of heretical activities and subcultures affiliated with Saint Simon revealed a brief entry for the "Commune of Simon Eternal" founded by one Emmett Parsons of Tucson, Arizona circa 1968. Church records indicate that the group represented a confluence of drug culture and elementary hagiography, but a cursory investigation revealed little of interest to ecumenical authorities. Emmett Parsons preached that his followers could "renounce time as Simon renounced gold" through the ritualized use of various psychedelics and the concurrent destruction of timepieces. Followers could therefore "live each day as a Saint". Further behaviors are standard for cult activity, emphasizing the commodification of women and unswerving loyalty to the founder. Parsons appears again in a 1969 report of his murder at the hands of one of his 16 "brides", Abigail Strough. This has led research to shift from Parsons to Strough. Notably, Abigail Strough received no prison sentence for the murder of Emmett Parsons, and Event 2098-1 commenced within one week of her release from custody. + Addendum 2098-1072.4 - Action reports - PSC-2098 Team Bravo - Addendum 2098-1072.4 - Action reports - PSC-2098 Team Bravo Following Event 2098-17 in 2009, PSC-2098 Team Bravo re-opened investigation into Strough after learning she retains the deed to commune lands to this day under the "Deacon's Advisory Partnership" non-profit organization. Repeated calls to the organization's phone number return a voicemail message stating staff is out of the office in observance of Saint Simon's Day. Upgraded observation of site approved 9/21/2010. No confirmed sightings of Strough documented at this time. As of disrupted 2098 event 15, naming conventions for co-opted events have altered from the standard nonsensical combinations of ritualized behavior and Catholic terminology. Analytics staff report the following pattern in recently-disrupted event names: Event 2098-15: "Saint Simon's Day Ether Frequency Dichotomy" Event 2098-16: "Saint Simon's Procession of Shortest Waves" Event 2098-17: "Saint Simon's Cathode Intercession" Event 2098-18: "Saint Simon's Communion of the Wavelengths" Event 2098-19: "Saint Simon's Etheric Voice Triumphant" Event 2098-19, though successfully disrupted, was followed by the broadcast launch of a Tucson, Arizona public access television program entitled "Sixty Seconds to Freedom" at 12:01:01pm the day following Event 2098-19's disruption. Broadcast review indicates a 62% keyphrase match from previously collected 2098-Red statements. Broadcast tapes secured and both production staff and talent are held at Site-23 undergoing processing and exposure tests. The Deacon's Advisory Partnership website was updated to include a legal defense fund drive 48 hours following the detention of "Sixty Seconds to Freedom" staff and talent, though no explicit link between the two incidents is advertised through the site. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2098" by Mulciber, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2099 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2099 Special Containment Procedures: Objects composing SCP-2099 are kept in place at the recovery site. All communications connections (phone lines, LAN, etc.) have been severed. All wireless devices have been found and destroyed. See Addendum 2099-4 The warehouse above the recovery site is currently owned and operated by Smith-Campbell Publishing LLC., a front that distributes disinformation material. Any instances of SCP-2099-B taken off-site are to be disguised as shipments of printed materials. The entrance to the recovery site is protected by a steel door that requires personnel on both sides to open. It will be kept closed whenever not in use. Personnel will monitor all active peripherals under the control of SCP-2099-A. Any peripherals beyond those permitted are to be reported at once and destroyed. Description: SCP-2099 is the brain of Jeremy Valdez and all associated machinery and equipment contained in place at the recovery location. SCP-2099 was found under a derelict warehouse in Detroit, Michigan, in 2003 after urban explorers posted pictures online. The original account was deleted and amnestics administered, but some images of SCP-2099 still exist online, with different contexts given. This is considered to be a low risk to containment. The recovery site is a series of thirteen underground structures ranging from 3 meters x 3 meters x 2 meters to 30 meters x 20 meters x 10 meters. Some act as storage units containing shelves holding thousands of mechanical and electronic devices and parts. Others are largely open, intended for use in testing. One contains mostly heavy machinery believed to have been used in excavating the recovery site. Every room has hundreds to thousands of pieces of paper, on which notes are written. These are in a fragmentary short-hand. A row of numbers and letters at the top of each sheet appears to act as a reference to the contents of each sheet, though the precise meaning has not been decoded. Valdez's brain, hereafter referred to as SCP-2099-A, is kept in a jar filled with water mixed with electrolytes, sugars, green food coloring, and artificial flavoring. How this keeps SCP-2099-A alive, or if it even plays any role beyond aesthetic, is unknown at this time. SCP-2099-A has been largely cooperative with Foundation personnel, although its answers have been of limited usefulness. Instances of SCP-2099-B are devices built by SCP-2099-A, both before and after its present condition. These machines are built from a number of materials. Virtually all of them appear to be highly technologically advanced, but should not function based on current understanding of science (based on power draws, material limitations, or violations of constants such as the speed of light). Several are referred to as "peripherals," devices directly under the control of SCP-2099-A. These are used by SCP-2099-A to interact with its environment. Most of these were destroyed during recovery. Five are currently active, contingent on SCP-2099-A's continued cooperation. These range from mechanical hands to a humanoid robot dressed as a butler. These are used primarily to find and bring notes to SCP-2099-A. Examples of SCP-2099-B Pistol that fires out high-intensity X-rays. It is powered by two AA batteries and focused by a common quartz crystal. Six-meter-tall humanoid robot made primarily of chrome and steel. Tensile strength of materials involved should not be capable of supporting its weight. A cannon that fires sabots that release human-sized robots armed with swords and metal nunchakus. Notably, the volume of the sabots is not large enough to fit the robots. A bin labeled "cyborg parts." Inside were a number of artificial limbs, sensory organs, and other body parts. None of them have been "attached," so it is unknown whether or not they would be functional. No means of interfacing with a nervous system could be found on any of these parts. A large vehicle with a mounted drill and claws, capable of tunneling through solid rock and earth. Material so displaced disappears, leaving empty tunnels. A rocket-based spacecraft. Sediment stuck to the skids matches samples taken from the Moon. There is no plausible means by which it could have exited the recovery site. A force field generator. It cannot be examined at this time, as SCP-2099-A has forgotten how to disengage the device. A large generator with "anti-gravity" written on the side. Anti has been crossed out in red paint. When engaged, all nearby objects weigh twice what they normally would in Earth gravity. A computer system running an apparently complete simulation (down to individual grains of sand) of an alien solar system. It performs with two gigabytes of available disk space. 713 different laser guns (in a bin labeled "713 different laser guns"). Electricity is supplied via a number of interconnected powerstrips. Following the powerstrips ultimately leads to a final power strip plugged into itself. Unplugging it removes power from the entire facility. Interview Log SCP-2099-A-1 Dr. ███████: "Who are you?" SCP-2099-A: "I am the Profound Professor V, the genius who invented the Quantum Pistol, the Rocket to Sagittarius, the Window to Other Worlds. My name is Jeremy Valdez. Jeremy, there was another Jeremy I met once, well, lots, but the one stuck in my mind. Clever man, a salesman. Can't trust them an inch if you give them a mile, but that wasn't me." Dr. ███████: "How did you build this facility?" SCP-2099-A: "Oh, dug it all out. Tricky bit was the supports. Used solid Valdezium to hold it up. That's my own invention. Name trademarked, patent pending, unless I forgot to send the application." Dr. ███████: "How do your inventions work?" SCP-2099-A: "I'm a genius. Have I mentioned that? I'm sure I have. It's in my notes, yes. Yes, you've read them, haven't you? I left them simply everywhere. You can't miss them." Dr. ███████: "When did you start inventing things?" SCP-2099-A: "Let's see, let's see. Was it ninety-three? Ninety-four? I'd forget my head if I didn't keep it carefully labeled. In the closet, no, wait, that's not the note I was looking for. Ah, here, history. Good heavens, ninety-one. Has it been that long? Wait, how long has it been? What's the date? Never mind. Anyway, I started having ideas one day. Just ideas, pouring in from everywhere. Can hardly look at a shovel without getting an idea for a digging machine, or a computer without seeing if it dreams of sheep. Oh, I could use lasers for a drill, taking note. I'd always been a tinkerer, ever since I was a boy. Had model rockets and ray guns, and all sorts of toys like that. Get them from stores or mail order or wherever I could." As SCP-2099-A spoke, peripherals brought notes to its tank, and wrote down further notes, apparently based on the conversation. Dr. ███████: "How is this facility powered?" SCP-2099-A: "Oh, you just plug things in. Simple as anything. Ultimately draws from the aether. They say there's no such thing, but you just have to know where to look. It's under all that quantum stuff. Or was it in the imaginary numbers? Somewhere like that. I'd have to look at my notes." Dr. ███████: "We've had difficulties in reading your notes." SCP-2099-A: "Oh, well, that's easy enough, you just need to know how things are broken out. There's a note about that somewhere." Dr. ███████: "Your notes seem… incomplete." SCP-2099-A: "Well, that's a pity. I tried to keep it all together, but things get put here and there. Can't do a thing without my notes. Let me check my notes. Hmm. Yes, can't do a thing without them. Says it right here. You can't argue with that. It's in my notes." Interview Log SCP-2099-A-7 Dr. ███████: "How were you able to afford all of the materials you used in your inventions?" SCP-2099-A: "Oh, a bit of this, a bit of that. I make things for people. Sometimes for sale, sometimes barter. Done some honest work before I got to that point, of course. Worked for a pro lab, back in the day, and did R&D for a manufacturing plant. Made smoke alarms or toys or somesuch. Hard keeping it all straight these days." Dr. ███████: "Do you have any outstanding orders?" SCP-2099-A: "Not at the moment, no, but there's always new business just around the corner. People need things built. Sound guns, hypnosis lenses, rocket skis. Night vision goggles that work even when there's no light whatsoever. A little pedestrian, but it pays the bills. Haven't heard much lately, but I'm sure they'll be in touch soon." Interview Log SCP-2099-A-19 Dr. ███████: "Are you aware of your current condition?" SCP-2099-A: "What, brilliant? Handsome? Brain in a jar? Hadn't escaped my notice." Dr. ███████: "How are you still alive?" SCP-2099-A: "Good diet and exercise. Healthy living. Oh, and the electrolytes. It's in my notes somewhere, the whole process. Never will look at mashed potatoes the same way, I'll tell you that." Dr. ███████: "Do any of your family or friends know about your condition?" SCP-2099-A: "No, not really. Family was never close, and most of my friends are online these days. On the internet, nobody knows you're a brain in a jar. Or a cat, or whatever. You've heard the joke, I'm sure." Dr. ███████: "How did it happen?" SCP-2099-A: "You know, I'm not entirely sure anymore. I don't think I was dying or anything. No, my body's still perfectly viable, if I could remember where I put it all. Can't remember why I did it, or quite when. I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time. Usually does. Somehow didn't work out quite how I thought, I don't think. Or maybe it did. Anyway, I get by."

Whether these are objects previously made and sold by SCP-2099-A, or if there is another source, has not been established to any degree of certainty. Addendum 2099-2: SCP-2099-A has at times made references to locations where it has operated or used as trading points when dealing in examples of SCP-2099-B. See SCP-2099 Recovery Logs for further information. Addendum 2099-4: SCP-2099-A made a reference to the Shenzhou 9 mission in 2012. When asked how it learned of this, it revealed an active internet connection via "V-Wave Universal Ansible." When asked where the device was located, it could only remember that it was somewhere on the shelves, and suggested it be found by Valdez Wave detection. To date, the device still has not been found. Analysis of internet accounts now known to be associated with SCP-2099-A have shown no revelation of protected information. However, recovery and dismantling of this device is to be considered a priority objective for staff assigned to SCP-2099. Addendum 2099-5: While SCP-2099-A's "ansible" remains hidden, it can be disrupted via bursts of microwave radiation. However, this also renders SCP-2099-A incapable of speech, and may interfere with its life support. Given that it is currently the only method of recovering SCP-2099-B instances outside of Foundation control, this will only be used in emergency situations. + SCP-2099 Recovery Logs - Scavenger Hunt Location: Former home previously owned by SCP-2099-A according to tax records. Prompting Statement from SCP-2099-A: "Oh, that old place. Yes, very nice neighborhood, but the HOA had ridiculous rules about spaceships. And they didn't allow me to have any dinosaurs. What kind of totalitarian wasteland doesn't allow dinosaurs? Especially robot ones. But the park was nice. I used to feed pigeons. I think I may have left some things there, up in the attic crawlspace. Might still be there." Recovery: While the current owners were on vacation in Hawaii, recovery agents searched the home, eventually finding an old notebook covered in scribbles of rocket ships and space aliens. Response: "Oh, my drawings! I used to scribble those down in school. Drove my teachers crazy, but what could they say? Straight A student. Got my report cards somewhere. On the shelves, most likely. I'll check my notes." Location: Alley in Boston, Massachusetts. Prompting Statement from SCP-2099-A: "I certainly hope MA got her package. I left it in the usual place right when it was done, but I never heard back from her. Maybe you gentlemen could take a look, since I'm short a couple of legs at the moment." Recovery: The field team went to the location described, though it was assessed that they would be unlikely to find anything after the intervening time. However, shortly after beginning their search, they were attacked by a CI field team, which had apparently set up a watch for future drop-offs in the location. The CI team was apparently not expecting armed resistance, and Foundation casualties were kept to a minimum. Several enemy combatants were detained, and two weaponized anomalies secured. Response: "Those people, eh? I've had some run-ins with them before. Nasty customers. Sold them one or two things, and then they tried to get all my toys without paying for them. Didn't know they were watching Boston. Well, I'm glad you dealt with them. Hopefully they didn't give MA any trouble." Location: Soup kitchen in Seattle, Washington, where reports of unusually sized foodstuffs had been reported. Prompting Statement from SCP-2099-A: None. Recovery: The field team secured the location, finding a large booth labeled "V-Ray Enlarger," which employees had been using to increase portions of food handed out to the local homeless. Interviewed employees stated it had been brought in by operatives of the Manna Charitable Foundation two weeks earlier. Response: "Oh, the enlarger. I think I remember that one. Did I sell it to them? Well, I must have. They probably just got around to using it now. I haven't had much business with them in a while." Location: Former missile silo in southern Idaho. Records indicate that it was never sold by the US government. Prompting Statement from SCP-2099-A: "Oh, I spent some time in the midwest. I was… is there a classier word than squatting? One moment. Ah, here we go. Habitating in one of those old missile silos. They weren't using it, so I just moved in, turned on the lights. More of a summer home than anything. I don't think I took the trash out before I left. Would you gents be so kind?" Recovery: The field team found the silo sealed with several combination locks, which were opened with codes provided by SCP-2099-A. Inside were three dessicated human bodies, a taxidermied Mammut americanum, and a gorilla in some form of suspended animation. DNA testing showed that the human bodies all belonged to SCP-2099-A. A partial address and key were found at the bottom of a desk drawer. Response: "Oh, well, I was going through a cloning phase. Too much Jurassic Park, not enough meeting girls. Though the mosquito trick doesn't work. If you get anything, you just get mosquitoes." Notably, address and key were not brought to SCP-2099-A's attention. Location: Warehouse in Puebla, Mexico, having been traced to a dark-net site titled V2 Enterprises. Several products were determined to have anomalous properties, similar to instances of SCP-2099-B. Prompting Statement from SCP-2099-A: None. Recovery: Workers in the warehouse were in the process of moving all inventory through a device that was apparently capable of teleportation or disintegration. Teleportation assessed to be more likely, based on the willingness of the workers to pass through it rather than face capture. Device self-destructed before a thorough analysis could be made. Several apparent instances of SCP-2099-B were still found in the warehouse. A brochure bearing the likeness of a Hispanic man in a labcoat promised "invenciones futuristas increíbles del Profesor V." Other locations traced to V2 Enterprises were found empty. Response: "Have I been to Mexico recently? Let me see, let me see, no, not since my grandmother died. Clearly, we're dealing with an imposter. Deal only with the original Professor V, accept no imitations or substitutions." Location: Junkyard in Boise, Idaho. Prompting Statement from SCP-2099-A: "I did visit one of my customers once. In Iowa, I think. Wait, let me check my notes. I tell a lie, it was actually Idaho. I always get them confused. Would you like to meet her? I'm sure she'd be glad of the company." Recovery: The field team entered after hours, eventually finding a structure built under a pile of old automobiles. Inside was an apparent residence which did not appear to have been disturbed for some time. Books of star charts, astronomy texts, and several works known to have been linked to the Serpent's Hand were found inside. Also inside was an example of SCP-2099-B, labeled Valdeport XT. It was not functional at the time of recovery. Response: "Not there anymore? Well, hopefully she got where she was going. Or somewhere, anyway. We all want to be somewhere, don't we? I know I do." Location: Office in a business park in London. Fourteenth attempted match on partial address found in third location. Prompting Statement from SCP-2099-A: None. Recovery: The field team found a surgery suite, unused since at least the late eighties. Several files were found describing medical experiments carried out. Two of the final entries describe the autopsies of a pair of American transfer students with the initials JV, both of whose descriptions match Jeremy Valdez. All files and reports are signed EM. Response: "Sorry, doesn't ring a bell. I mean, I'm not exactly myself anymore, but I'm hardly dead. I'm sure I'd know it if I were. I'd have made a note." - Scavenger Hunt ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2099" by DrEverettMann, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-2099.

SCP-2100 | keter | Surface entrance to Site ██ Item #: SCP-2100 Special Containment Procedures: Site ██ was built above SCP-2100, and is located in Antarctica at the Earth's Southern Pole. SCP-2100 is publicly concealed as the IceCube Neutrino Observatory; a cover-up organization has been established through the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Addendum-2100-1: Foundation cover-up of Event 2100-Omega is ongoing. Efforts are underway to retroactively alter astronomical maps, to administer appropriate amnestics as necessary, and to monitor and subdue the publishing of any material regarding the effects of Event 2100-Omega. Site ██ is to remain operational indefinitely with standard maintenance and guard staff to maintain the integrity and secrecy of SCP-2100 components. Description: SCP-2100 is a large subterranean complex, believed extraterrestrial in origin. SCP-2100 extends approximately 7,390m below ground with 2,718 levels, and has an approximate floor area of 738,905,600 sq meters. Geological analysis of the surrounding rock indicates that SCP-2100 was constructed 1.253 billion years ago (+ 0.002 BY) in its current position. Small-scale fissures indicate that the Antarctic Tectonic plate has been partially fractured as a result of sliding around SCP-2100. SCP-2100-4 Research in 196█ confirmed that SCP-2100 perpetually broadcasts a dense stream of neutrinos toward the center of the Earth, which is then redirected at Earth's core through unknown means. Regardless of Earth's relative position and orientation, this beam maintains focus toward a fixed coordinate point located within the Center Bulge of the Milky Way Galaxy. SCP-2100 has been fully mapped, with three primary features designated SCP-2100-1 through -3. 2100-1 is an area comprising parts of floors 25 through 29 and contains a concentration of display readouts and input controls. Conduits throughout the entire complex join at junction relays and all eventually terminate at 2100-1, indicating that it is the control center for the entire complex. Displays in 2100-1 are alert and active, and appear to perpetually display real time information using a combination of graphics and an undecipherable alien language. This information is largely meaningless without knowledge of the systems or the language. An attempt is underway to interact with 2100-1 in an effort to learn more. (See Document 2100-114) Displays in 2100-1 are dead and unresponsive. 2100-2 is an area comprising parts of the lowest 271 levels, and is the source of the neutrino transmission beam. It is believed to hold an immense focusing mechanism which directs neutrinos produced by 2100-3 into a beam 271 m in diameter, with an average neutrino density of 27 quadrillion neutrinos per sq cm. 2100-3 is a perfectly spherical section comprising the central sections of levels 1223-1495. There are several hundred shuttered transparent viewing apertures located along the equatorial belt of 2100-3. When unshuttered, these apertures allow limited filtered wavelengths of visible light to pass through. Visual indications show that 2100-3 houses what appears to be a miniature neutron star, designated 2100-4. 2100-4 is an estimated 400 m in diameter with a rotational period of 0.5 ms. Gravimetric and electromagnetic readings do not pick up any usual activity near the vicinity of 2100-4; either 2100-4 does not produce gravitational and electromagnetic fields, or 2100-3 effectively blocks them. In addition to the primary faculties, SCP-2100 also houses a small section believed to be abandoned alien living quarters, several large cavernous rooms of unknown purpose, and approximately 2.71 billion meters of conduit connecting 2100-1, 2100-2, and 2100-3. Document 2100-114: Partial transcript of Video Log 2100-Epsilon Foreword: On 10/07/196█, after █ years of studying the alien language, the control displays, and conduit maps, the first attempt was made to interact with SCP-2100-1 control consoles. 54 researchers are present, as well as Site ██ Lead Researcher Dr. P█████. 27 researchers are seated in front of control stations, while Dr. P████ gives instructions. Displays are active. <Commence Log> 00:00:01 - Dr. P█████ is talking to various aides. 00:00:12 - Dr. P█████: Alright, let us begin. Station Theta, hit control eight dash one two, just like we rehearsed. 00:00:19 - Display changes from a purely "text" readout to a graphical readout, dominated by a large spinning sphere. 00:00:34 - Dr. P█████: Good. Station Lambda, please turn dial one dash twelve counterclockwise by ten degrees. Okay, fifteen degrees. Twenty. Twenty five. Twenty eight? 00:00:46 - Lambda Controller: I can't turn it any more, that's as far as it goes. 00:00:50 - Dr. P█████: Confirm dial maximum at approximately 27.1 degrees? 00:00:56 - Lambda Controller: Confirmed. 00:00:58 - Dr. P█████: As expected. 00:01:04 - Dr. P█████ is speaking into his radio headset. 00:01:04 - Dr. P█████: Team Sigma, confirm the anticipated possible shift in dash-four, over? Negative? Confirmed, over. 00:01:12 - Dr. P█████: Alright, team, looks like we're in simulation mode, just as we hoped. We'll proceed with test two-thousand-three-oh. 00:01:15 - Dr. P█████: Station Mu, hit control three dash one. Yes, the larger oval. [LOG REDACTED FOR BREVITY. SEE DOCUMENT 2100-117 FOR FULL LOG.] 04:05:14 - Dr. P█████ is speaking into his radio headset. 04:05:14 - Dr. P█████: Yes, sir, we believe we've got the basics down. We can predictably adjust the rotational period, the luminosity, the fusion rate, the temperature, even the graviton output. No, we haven't reliably modified the magnetic flux field, but we did see non-negligible deviations during test seven-seven, over. Yes, we are still confident that console alpha will apply changes real-time, over. Confirmed. Over. Absolutely. Over and out. 04:08:22 - Dr. P█████: Okay, team, return to your stations, we are going to recreate test two-thousand-four-two. [LOG REDACTED FOR BREVITY. SEE DOCUMENT 2100-117 FOR FULL LOG.] 04:25:33 - Dr. P█████ is speaking into his radio headset. 04:25:33 - Dr. P█████: Team Sigma, be prepared to confirm luminosity adjustment, remember, we are expecting no more than a point oh-oh-one percent change, over. 04:25:47 - Dr. P█████: Okay, Alpha, on my mark I want you to hit control Alpha-Alpha-one. The big one. 04:26:00 - Dr. P█████: Mark. 04:26:02 - Dr. P█████: Team Sigma, confirm luminosity change, over? 04:26:06 - Dr. P█████: Confirmed! We have control! Great job… 04:26:10 - Talking ceases. Everyone in the room falls unconscious instantly. Dr. P█████, Alpha Station researcher, and Bravo Station researcher have vanished. All displays have gone black. 04:26:25 - Medical staff rush into SCP-2100-1 and begin reviving the team 04:29:14 - Entire team has been revived with no permanent injuries. <End Log> Frame By Frame Analysis: Below is a frame-by-frame analysis of Video Log 2100-Epsilon at approximately 04:26:09. Video was captured at 30 frames per second, with frames approximately every 33 milliseconds. 04:26:09:000 - Dr. P█████ is standing behind Alpha station. No abnormal activity present. 04:26:09:033 - Two unknown entities now exist in the middle of the room. Resolution is low but entities appear to be floating sycamore-seed shaped distortions. There are several spotlights illuminating them, and while they seem somewhat translucent on camera, they cast large shadows, longer and more distorted than their shape would suggest. 04:26:09:066 - The entities are now in front of separate display panels. The entities appear to have opened previously unknown access hatches and are interacting with the interior hardware. Researchers begin to fall limp. 04:26:09:100 - An assortment of hardware is floating in the middle of the room where the entities first appeared. Hardware is believed to have originated from within the console interiors. Dr. P█████, Alpha Station researcher, and Bravo Station researcher are floating in a vaguely fetal position near the hardware. 04:26:09:133 - The entities, the hardware, and Dr. P█████ have vanished, and all display panels are shut. No further anomalous activity is recorded. Final Note: After event 2100-Epsilon, all displays appear dead. SCP-2100-4 returned to its original luminosity. Further attempts to interact with displays have proved fruitless. No further sightings or evidence of the anomalous entities or missing personnel have been reported. Document 2100-154: Memorandum from Dr. S█████, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 01/08/196█ Dr. F█████, In response to your rather unusual inquiry, let me remind you that relativity dictates that no signal can travel faster-than-light, not even massless, sterile neutrinos. While there are some well-known physicists exploring the possibility of faster-than-light particles, they are mostly crackpots well past their prime. I can think of no reason you would be exploring this question, beyond an exercise in fiction, so let me reiterate: nothing can travel faster than light. But, if we do throw out common sense and start idly entertaining the realm of fiction, you can see from my attached calculations that your theoretical "beam" would be traveling 27,000 light-years to its destination, and therefore an instantaneous transmission would have to reach an estimated hundred trillion times the speed of light. The amount of energy needed to perform your little theoretical hop would of course be infinite, although you can see in figure 3.2 that once you actually pass lightspeed, the energy requirements start to actually decrease the faster you go. You get slower the more energy you have "weighing yourself down" while losing energy speeds you up. If Relativity still means anything in this new theoretical universe, then you can see from diagram 4.1 that anyone able to travel faster than light would also have the ability to travel along a closed-timelike curve, meaning they would have the option of traveling through time as well as space. As to your final question regarding the resources necessary to construct such an apparatus… we cannot even idly speculate. Suffice to say it is more than every nation on Earth has at its disposal. Thank you for the donation. It was pleasant to hear from you again and I wish you luck in your future endeavors. Regards, Dr. S█████ Document 2100-421: Summary of Event 2100-Omega + LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE ONLY - Access Granted Aftermath of Event 2100-Omega On 12/04/1994, the O5 council issued a top priority order to Site ██, directing senior personnel to focus all efforts on interrupting the stream of neutrinos emanating from SCP-2100. Since neutrinos pass through nearly all solid matter, extreme measures were necessary to interrupt the beam. On 17/10/1996, Site Director L███ made a formal request to the O5 council asking permission to use SCP-████. The request detailed a plan to create a spatial anomaly which would redirect the neutrino stream away from Milky Way Galaxy, toward galaxy 3C 252, which lies near the edge of known space. Two months later, the O5 council approved the request. On 19/05/1999, SCP-████ was activated within SCP-2100, creating a bend in spacetime to redirect the neutrino stream. Immediately the neutrino stream ceased. The neutron star within 2100-1, being closely monitored, slowed from a rotational period of 0.5 ms to 500 ms. At the exact moment of interruption, reports began coming in from civilian and Foundation observatories all over the world. 226 supernovae were observed to erupt throughout the Milky Way, 34 new black holes were discovered, and 11 previously documented stars disappeared with no trace. Most activity was centered in and around the Center Bulge of the Milky Way Galaxy; none of the activity posed any threat to Earth. Efforts to reinstate the neutrino stream have been unsuccessful. Requests by Site Director L███ to reclassify Event Omega-2100 as an XK-Scenario and utilize reality altering SCPs to retroactively prevent Event Omega-2100 have been denied. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2100" by Abettik, from the SCP Wiki.

The Foundation has currently negotiated with the Chinese government to halt all funding for the public excavation of SCP-2101. Any private donations aimed at completing the excavation of SCP-2101 are to be intercepted and redirected. Reconstructions of fragments or whole SCP-2101-1 instances are to be occasionally loaned to outside museums and other sources, in order to maintain the disinformation campaign. A minimum of 8000 SCP-2101-1 instances must be maintained within the mausoleum at all times. Communication with SCP-2101-1 must be approved in a request form beforehand, to avoid unnecessary strain. At no point is SCP-926 or similar objects to be allowed within SCP-2101. Description: SCP-2101 refers to a sphere of effect located at 34.3849° N, 109.2731° E, the location of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. (秦始皇陵及兵马俑坑) (transliteration: Qín shǐ huáng líng jí bīng mǎ yǒng kēng) The origin point of SCP-2101 is located roughly 8 meters below the current lowest level of the mausoleum1. SCP-2101’s anomalous effect currently triggers in all individuals who enter within a 10-meter range of the object. Given SCP-2101’s position, this only affects those individuals who are located on the same level as the main excavation floor, where SCP-2101-1 instances are located. SCP-2101 projects speech directly into the minds of individuals. The content of the speech centers around attempts to free SCP-2101, with several references to “riches” and “huge tracts of land” to individuals who assist in releasing SCP-2101 from its current location. SCP-2101-1 refers to a collection of statues constructed of terracotta, commonly known as the “Terracotta Army” (兵马俑) (transliteration: bīng mǎ yǒng). These statues resemble soldiers from the Qin Dynasty period of Chinese history. It has been noted that each statue is unique in its appearance. All SCP-2101-1 instances are currently located on the lowest floor of the mausoleum. SCP-2101-1 instances are capable of speech and movement, but they have stated that it is difficult for them to do so. Only one SCP-2101-1 instance ever speaks at one time. The speech is very slow and stilted, and has been noted to be difficult to understand at times. SCP-2101-1 instances claim that they actively contain SCP-2101. Multiple instances have reiterated their need to stay in their current location in order to properly maintain containment of SCP-2101. The veracity of these claims cannot be determined at this point. In past incidents, removal of SCP-2101-1 instances to the point in which less than 8000 instances were present has caused small scale seismic activity, measuring between 2 and 4 on the moment magnitude scale. The magnitude of the seismic activity increases the longer the instances are kept away from the lowest floor. Should the head of an SCP-2101-1 instance be destroyed, or if more than 50% of the body by mass is no longer in connection with the head, the SCP-2101-1 instance is considered to have been removed from the lowest floor. Reconstructing SCP-2101-1 instances through reconnecting destroyed pieces is the only method of rectifying this. Object Recovery Report 2101-A: The following is a transcript of the video log compiled by the containment team that made first contact with SCP-2101. The dialogue has been translated from the original Mandarin. Date of Recovery: 12/1/1974 Containment Team: Bravo-20 Commander: Agent Yizhong Liao [Video begins] [Opening shot is of a containment team wearing standard People’s Liberation Army uniforms with the standard loadout of a small fire team. Team is being lowered into a hole in the ground.] Liao: Beginning containment report of Circumstantial Anomaly A9012. Containment team is entering subterranean level to reach entity. Be advised, knowledge of anomaly has spread in the area. Stronger containment protocols may be needed. [Containment team reaches level containing SCP-2101-1 instances. Team disengages from ropes, and encounters SCP-2101-1 instances.] Liao: Heavens above…what is this? Agent Hua: Looks like something out of a historical lián xù jù2. Liao: Recorded note: Team has made contact and found what appears to be thousands of statues resembling ancient soldiers. Initial reports of “demon” voices not corro- [Members of containment team stop suddenly. According to a follow-up interview, SCP-2101 began to speak to the team at this point. A rough transcript of what the team recalls SCP-2101 said has been included here.] SCP-2101: Welcome, welcome. It looks like some good souls have finally arrived to free me from my imprisonment. Liao: Identify yourself. SCP-2101: I am your emperor. Bow before me, and release me from this prison. I will reward you with the riches of kings and lords. Liao: There is no emperor. Identify where you are located. SCP-2101: What do you mean by that? Surely my dynasty lives on, even now. Those petty warlords are no match for the might of my empire. I am below you, trapped in this dirt and stone by these infernal soldiers. Liao: What soldiers? SCP-2101: Those damned clay ones. I know that they’re still there, else I would be free by now. Quickly, dig through this layer and free me. [Agent Hua approaches a statue.] Hua: These are made of clay. How could the- [SCP-2101-1 instance (designated as SCP-2101-1-1) grabs Agent Hua’s arm] SCP-2101-1-1: Do not listen to him. Do not interfere. Liao: Let go of him! SCP-2101-1-1: Promise you will not interfere. Liao: Let go of him first. I can make no promises. SCP-2101-1-1: You must promise first. Liao: Open fire! [The SCP-2101-1 instance is hit with gunfire, severing its head. Other SCP-2101-1 instances are hit in the fire, causing further destruction. SCP-2101 begins to laugh.] SCP-2101: Yes! Yes! I can feel it! The bond is loosening! Keep destroying them! [Seismic activity begins. A new SCP-2101-1 instance (designated SCP-2101-1-2) steps forward] Liao: Cease fire! Cease fire! SCP-2101-1-2: Fix the ones destroyed. We cannot allow him escape. Liao: What is this place? What is your purpose? SCP-2101-1-2: Hard to talk or move. We were men once but sacrifice to contain emperor. He turned dangerous. Had to stop him. Saw the right path. Gave ourselves up. SCP-2101: And betrayed your emperor and liege! A monstrous betrayal, one made by cowards and thieves, the servants of those damned warlords! An entire army, rising up against me! You must right this wrong and destroy them! SCP-2101-1-2: Must not listen to him. His lies killed many. SCP-2101: I brought peace and riches to all in the land! Quickly, you must not listen to their lies! Free me now, and I will take my throne again. The empire needs me. I am its true founder and leader. They have no right to imprison me here. Liao: Why is this ground shaking? SCP-2101-1-2: He is escaping. Need focus else he escapes. Liao: We need to call in for backup and figure out what to do. Cut that camera out, Ting. Following this incident, it was agreed upon in a 7 to 6 vote by the O5 Council that containment would be followed by aiding SCP-2101-1 instances, due to the implied breach caused by freeing SCP-2101.

SCP-2102 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2102 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2102 is to be housed at Site-122 in an L-Type Humanoid Anomaly Containment Cell (HACC). This is to be modified to minimize the probability of injury to SCP-2102. SCP-2102 is to remain fully restrained at all times, with its hands and feet encased within padded sleeves to avoid accidental or intentional lacerations of its epidermis. SCP-2102 is to be considered a permanent Class Alpha-Red security risk in light of its suicidal tendencies. In case of an Unbounded Ectoentropic Reaction (UER), all on-site personnel not specifically attached to this project are to be evacuated, and three members of Security Staff with at least L2/2102 clearance are to enter SCP-2102's cell to initiate its Breach protocol1. Following the incident, SCP-2102 is to be treated by attached Level 3 Medical Staff for any burns sustained during the incident. Excess tissue is to be excised and the resulting wounds are to be cauterized immediately; this is currently the only reliable way to reduce the amount of tissue generated. Excised tissue is to be destroyed as per the standard Biohazard Disposal protocol. If its Breach protocol fails, all Site-122 personnel with Level 3 Security Clearance have been provided with the passkey to this project's kill switch. This can be activated remotely and doing so will trigger the dispersal of a dicyanoacetylene gas and powdered fluoridated aluminium within SCP-2102's containment cell. This mixture will be ignited automatically after a three-second delay. If the kill switch is not successful in deactivating SCP-2102, no further provisions have been made. Description: SCP-2102 is an unidentified male of indeterminate age and descent. SCP-2102 measures approximately 178 cm in length and weighs an estimated 48 kg. 100% of SCP-2102's body is covered in hypertrophic scars, a result of the application of its Breach protocol in order to halt past UER/2102 events. Due to this scarification, SCP-2102 is deaf, mute and blind, and cannot be interviewed. All data on SCP-2102 was gathered from testing, and from surviving GRU Division "P" documentation. SCP-2102's anomalous properties manifest when it suffers a puncture wound or laceration, initiating an anomalous wound healing process (designated a UER/2102 event). This process is instantaneous and though both hemostatic and inflammatory phases occur as normal, the proliferative phase of the process occurs at a greatly increased rate2, and no wound contraction occurs. During a UER/2102 event, SCP-2102 will continue to produce new tissue at an exponential rate, unless all open wounds are successfully cauterized. Based on this, it is estimated that the culmination of an NK-Class scenario would occur approximately four weeks post-event should full neutralization not be achieved. Tissue generated during UER/2102 events will expand into any available open space. Obstructions are able to delay the expansion, but as more tissue is generated, it will exert a mounting pressure on materials. Currently, there is no upper limit to the MPa SCP-2102 is able to generate. Blunt force trauma that does not break SCP-2102's epidermis will not induce its anomalous properties, and the application of intense heat will cauterize any open lacerations, halting SCP-2102's anomalous wound healing. Tests have also indicated that SCP-2102's anomalous properties would in all probability not persist if all soft tissues were destroyed. Addendum 2102-A-01: Notes on recovery and preliminary containment SCP-2102 was recovered from the grounds of the Institute of Experimental Medicine ČSAV in ███████████, Czechoslovakia on 12/02/1972. Foundation agents embedded in the Czechoslovakian government had been aware of the existence of a GRU Division "P" project housed on the grounds of the institute since earlier that year, and intelligence reports indicated its focus to be on the development of practical applications for rapid cellular regeneration. Following the successful appropriation of classified documentation detailing SCP-2102 and its anomalous properties, a recovery operation was planned for January 1973. On 12/02/1972, at 07:14 UTC/GMT, a disturbance was reported at the Institute of Experimental Medicine ČSAV, and a large number of civilians were seen fleeing the premises. A small Foundation reconnaissance force comprised of members from several Mobile Task Forces stationed in Eastern Europe was immediately dispatched to take stock of the situation before recovery was initiated. Preliminary containment was effected at 23:01 UTC/GMT on 12/02/1972, permanent containment on 12/13/1972. Addendum 2102-A-02: Excerpts from reconnaissance log 2102/OpRec/721202 [13:38:15] Command: Merrick, what is your location? [13:38:23] Merrick: On the grounds, nearing the entrance to the bunker. Looks like it's wide open. No hostiles in sight. [13:38:36] Command: Copy that. You are cleared for approach. Good luck. [13:38:40] Merrick: Moving in. [13:54:03] Merrick: The smell is…off here, can't put my finger on it. Jones, stop bumblefucking and watch that left hallway! [13:54:09] Merrick: Mostly labs and offices. Found what looks like a break room a while back. Most of the files are gone and what they left doesn't look important. Just paperwork on shipments, food, supplies, standard logistical stuff. [13:54:21] Command: Take it anyway. Let IA3 figure it out. Any sign of the anomaly yet? [13:54:27] Merrick: Roger, will do. No sign of the anomaly so far, but it might be on minus 2 or lower. Ashton, start grabbing every scrap of paper you can see. [13:54:35] Command: Keep your eyes peeled, Merrick. [13:54:38] Merrick: Copy that, Command. [14:13:43] Merrick: Almost done on minus one. Still no sign of the anomaly. Smell's getting worse though. We've located an elevator to the lower levels. Will keep you posted. [14:13:51] Command: We copy, Merrick. Proceed with caution. [14:13:55] Merrick: Always. Jones, Ashton, we're going down. I want you to secure…wait. Command, any seismic activity in this area? [14:14:06] Command: Not that we know of, Merrick. Why? [14:14:11] Merrick: I think I just felt something move down there… [14:17:24] Merrick: Come in, Command. Elevator's stuck, we went down maybe about a foot before we hit something. No idea wha…wait, what's that sound? [14:17:31] <metal warping and tearing> [14:17:32] <multiple screams and cries of alarm> [14:17:35] Command: Come in, Merrick! What is your status? [14:17:35] Merrick: It's [UNINTELLIGIBLE] floor, something's coming through. [UNINTELLIGIBLE] Pry those doors open! [14:17:36] <indeterminate noise, multiple voices> [14:17:36] <grunting and yelling> [14:19:33] Command: Come in, Merrick! [14:19:36] Merrick: Command, we managed to open the doors and climb out. We've got an unknown amorphous mass coming up from the lower levels, recommend immediate countermeasures. [14:19:45] Command: Copy that, Merrick. We have 2 F-4s on stand-by at [REDACTED]. They'll be with you in approximately…7 minutes. Can you hold out? [14:17:32] <semi-automatic weapons fire> [14:19:53] Merrick: I have no fucking clue, Command. Right now we're trying every trick in the book, but every time we damage it, it seems to grow more rapidly. Ashton, see what a couple of lemons do to that thing! [14:19:53] <multiple explosions> [14:19:54] Merrick: Command, I hope those birds you're sending have something on board that'll stick, cause nothing we're carrying seems to be stopping this thing. [14:20:03] Command: Don't worry, the guys in IA said they know how to deal with this. Get your team out of there, Merrick. [14:20:08] Merrick: Copy that. We're out of he… [14:20:09] <indeterminate loud noises> [14:20:11] Command: Status, Merrick! [14:20:13] Merrick: We're okay, but this thing just exploded through the top soil and it's still growing. Those birds better get here fast! [14:20:19] Command: ETA approximately 6 minutes. How fast is it moving? [14:20:22] Merrick: JONES, GET OUT OF THERE! [14:20:23] Command: Merrick, what's going on? [14:20:23] <muffled cry> [14:20:26] Merrick: We lost Jones. He just got sucked under that thing. I have no idea what its speed is, and I don't care. Get those birds here NOW! At 14:22:56 UTC/GMT, two F-4 Phantoms dropped their payload of M47A1 Napalm Incendiary bombs, successfully cauterizing the tissue generated by SCP-2102 during its UER/2102 event in progress. Addendum 2102-A-03: Translated excerpts from captured GRU Division "P" documentation The following selected diary entries were found amongst paperwork recovered from the Institute of Experimental Medicine ČSAV. Their author could not definitively be determined. Date: 2 March 1972 Finally arrived. I swear, the Tupolev was shaking more than the BMP I rode in during my service. The equipment crates were already there, and mostly intact, though two [REDACTED] chambers and a roentgen got mashed a bit on the train, and the mainframe looks rather unwell too. I met with the local staff I kept hearing such things about. Comrade doctor Csanyi, their head of research, has some genuinely compelling ideas about test subject suitability index based on basal metabolic rate, the Minsk experiments, and a couple other things, though that might have been the result of his barackpalinka. Date: 3 March 1972 Turns out our and their three-phase plugs are somewhat different. I have a headache. Date: 5 March 1972 Good news - me, Michail, Kuzma and their technician Prazdnovsky managed to swap the leads on everything, and fix up the broken kit with the spares he managed to dig out from somewhere. All of it works, too. Bad news - As soon as we plugged in all of it in for a test run, the fuses blew and we knocked out the power from half the institute. I would have thought they prepared things to our specifications. Ugly news - Looking through their fusing diagrams - it took the three of us half the day to sort it out. Whoever drew these up should be scrubbing the cellars of the Lubyanka. At least we will have time to go sightseeing. There is a pretty amazing castle ruin nearby, and since comrade Dr. Oravcova's sister works there, we can go for a private tour. Still, the project stagnating for reasons this stupid leaves a bitter aftertaste. Date: 19 April 1972 It took a couple chats with the ONV board, the institute's director and one angry call to Moscow, but we had the power grid strengthened in record time. Take that, Wattley and Weber4. In other news, they brought in a couple promising candidates today. Not ideal by far, but we will have to work with what we have. Soon, we will see if the theories are correct. PS. The trip was a blast. Got Marusja a scarf she will love, too, and what is better, entire stock = about a kilo - of chewing gums - all it took was a roll of rubles to the shopkeeper. Date: 5 May 1972 The first subject looked promising at first. When we introduced trauma, rapid clotting took place as expected, but the process aborted soon enough, and lesions developed. Turns out Michail mixed in far too much neodymium, the oaf. I swear this is the last straw - I told him if he fucks up again I will drag his ass to Moscow by his collar. Date: 28 June 1972 Why do they keep dying?! It does not make sense - reducing the amount of neodymium actually made the necrosis worse. I cannot tell Michail that or I will be hearing it for the rest of my life. Date: 3 August 1972 The cultivation is done, and Elena (MUDr. Elena Oravcova CSc., current whereabouts unknown - red.) had a look at the histology. The results are interesting - almost like an equilibrium of sorts. The cells divide fifty times faster than in control samples, but they die off almost immediately too, until the whole thing chokes on its own waste, so to say. It is not pretty. It seems that to make this work, we need to shift that balance somehow. Date: 15 August 1972 So we got another candidate, the 16th since the start of the project. I had gone to Szilard (RNDr. Szilard Csanyi DrSc., see documentation on Operation Redemption - red.) and told him we really needed someone more resilient than normal people. The ministry came through - from what we heard, we got ourselves a counter-revolutionary who spent fifteen years in an uranium mine as punishment detail, and somehow came out fine. Sure enough, histology results point at his cells pulling a Koschei the Deathless, and his natural regeneration is about twice as fast as your average man, too. Who knows? This might be the one. Date: 5 September 1972 Preliminary results looking good. The wound healing process does not abort anymore, though perhaps it is completing a bit too rapidly. I cannot believe I just wrote that, hah! I wonder if we can refine the process and perhaps even make it permanent? It was not our original goal, but if we manage this… Date: 24 September 1972 I am finding it increasingly difficult to sleep. X-16 is not like the others, he is not weak. The others never lasted for more than one cycle, but X-16 has been lacerated so many times now, and each time he survives. Today he somehow freed himself from the restraints and attempted to slit his wrists. I should be happy, because it means the effect now lasts several hours longer than we expected, but I cannot help but feel bad for him. I need some time off. Maybe Szilard will let me go see Marusja. Date: 15 October 1972 Finally! We have found the right composition. It turns out that we needed a little more of that stabilizing agent Jurij (unknown - red.) introduced a few weeks ago. It was staring us in the face all this time. Subject X-16 is responding well, in the medical sense at least; he is as uncooperative as ever. It does not matter. It will be done and over soon, another little step towards our victory. When you think of it, the man is a hero, and he does not even know it. Date: 3 November 1972 Elena showed up in my section of the lab just as I was preparing another batch of the serum. She looked distraught, and practically dragged me off by the sleeve. Good reason too. Long story short, the samples seem to be gaining mass from nowhere. She thought it was a measurement error, but I got the same after spending the day calibrating the machines. I am very worried. I got into an argument with Szilard and Jurij - they say it is bound to be an error and want to press on, while I and Elena want to look deeper into what the hell is happening. Date: 26 November 1972 There is a pattern to the increases in mass and [DATA EXPUNGED] all over, and it is not just X-16 now. I feel the answer is at my grasp. I had it all worked it out yesterday, but I woke up at my desk soon after. I really need more sleep. And Marusja, I miss her, but Szilard is not about to let me go. Date: 27 November 1972 We were ordered to stop working on sample analysis and focus on empirical tuning of the composition. Me and Elena appear to be the only ones with an ounce of common sense here. Just a few days more. Date: 2 December 1972 It is far too early to be up, but I cannot sleep. Today is the day we either produce the very first super-soldier, or we start over with nothing. I really do not know which is better. Eh, tomorrow is a day too. There are no later entries in the diary. Footnotes 1. See 2102/Prt/Brch-14A:v1.2 for more information 2.

SCP-2103 | safe | Typical quart-sized Mason Jar. Item #: SCP-2103 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2103 is to be contained in a Safe Object locker when not in use for testing or experimentation. When so stored, SCP-2103 is to be directly contained in a small (no larger than 1m along any dimension) storage case suitable for transporting fragile, glass-like items. This case is to remain open inside the locker and under automated surveillance at all times; specifically observed by an automated process that is able to detect motion and non-motion based visual changes (such as color changes) to the observed area. Any such observed change must be immediately reported to the research team appointed to SCP-2103. Due to the object's low tolerance for physical stress and heat, tests to determine SCP-2103's composition are halted indefinitely. Update 10/23/2013: As of Incident 2103-04, no new Lead Researcher or similar position of singular authority is to be appointed to the object's research team. The research team will consist of no fewer than seven qualified research staff, all of which must be consulted when changes to SCP-2103's containment are made or decisions about the testing methods used on the object are determined. In the event that all members of the research team agree unanimously on a course of such action, one team member is to be selected in an immediate, random fashion1. This team member is to adopt a documented dissenting opinion that is to be attached to the log or proposal that is chosen to be put in effect. If a member of the O5 Council wishes to countermand an action by the research team, a similar procedure, involving at least three members of the Council, must be executed. Description: SCP-2103 is visually identical to a typical American-made "Mason Jar" glass container. When not displaying anomalous properties, it is able to contain one quart of liquid (assuming the lower hole is blocked) or equivalent volumes of any other material. Unlike typical Mason jars, there is no brand name, logo, manufacturing data, or similar embossment on the glass. There is also a 25mm diameter hole in the center of the jar's bottom, with smooth edges that appear to be part of the original design and not created afterwards. The jar section is made of a material similar in transparency and density to glass, but has shown a much lower resistance to heat and physical stress than glass. When used to hold physical objects, SCP-2103 displays no unusual properties - items placed into the top of the jar either remain in the jar or exit through the bottom hole if they are of proper size or makeup to do so. However, the holderowning entity2 (see following for details) may store concepts or ideas into the jar through a poorly understood process. For the purposes of SCP-2103, "ownership" by an entity is loosely defined as said entity having widely acknowledged (or uncontested) legal, moral, or physical responsibility and dominion over the item. The exact parameters of ownership varies somewhat from item to item, suggesting some manner of sentience or programmed decision making process on the part of SCP-2103. For the most part, concepts and ideas that only affect a single individual seem the most easily "owned", while larger concepts that a wide array of individuals understand, are affected by, know about, or make use of fail this criteria. SCP-2103 is apparently3 capable of storing a single concept or idea (referred to hereafter as "item") at a time. When so stored, knowledge of the item is removed from reality - the previous owner and others cannot recall the item, and depending on the item in question may or may not be able to realize that something is missing at all. SCP-2103 seems to have further limited reality-altering potential, as in many cases the storage of the item causes shifts in reality accordingly as if the item had never been a part of reality. Due to Incident 2103-04, SCP-2103 has shown an ability to store physical objects under certain circumstances. See Incident Log 2103-04 for further details. Intentional testing to recreate these conditions is pending review but currently forbidden. SCP-2103 was acquired by the Foundation following a series of Internet postings referring to a "counselor" who promised his clients the ability to eliminate grief and emotionally painful events from their past. After five separate and unrelated accounts of SCP-2103's properties in action (clients discussing a "therapy jar" and an inability to recall certain events they had posted about previously) Foundation observers were sent to contact the counselor under the guise of potential clients. The owner was unwilling to part with the item for various sums of money or other offered exchanges, and proved unaffected by amnestics administered by agents on site. After a short confrontation, the subject escaped but SCP-2103 was recovered. The previous owner of SCP-2103 remains a person of interest to the Foundation. See related Report A-2103 for details. + Access Testing Log 2103 - Access Granted Note: For brevity, unusual or notable testing results have been highlighted in the following list, along with E-2103-T1 (Test 1) for baseline comparison. For a complete log of tests and results, please see document E-2103-T1 through E-2103-T157. Test E-2103-T1 Subject: One standard ballpoint pen issued to Foundation research team members. Procedure: SCP-2103 is held approximately one foot above a flat, unoccupied table and pen is dropped in from a height of six inches. Results: Pen falls through jar, exiting bottom hole. Analysis: SCP-2103 shows no unusual properties in regards to physical objects. Similar tests with different items of different composition to follow. Test E-2103-T12 Subject: Assistant researcher's recollection where he parked. Procedure: A research assistant handles the jar and tries to focus on the memory "going into" the jar. After questioning the researcher to determine success or failure, the memory will be removed through a similar process. Results: After five seconds, the research assistant is asked if it worked and responds that he was not certain. Assistant is questioned about where his car is parked and responds that he knows but then cannot recall. Assistant shows mild distress and then is able to recall. Analysis: It is difficult to be certain if the process functioned as expected, due to no indication from the jar. It is possible the research assistant simply had a momentary lapse of memory. Additional testing conditions, specifically to measure success or failure, recommended. Test E-2103-T13 Subject: Lead Researcher Morris' shoe size. Procedure: Dr. Morris writes down his shoe size and then attempts to store the information in SCP-2103. After indication of success or failure, the memory will be removed by a similar process. Results: Dr. Morris takes notes as indicated, then attempts to place the idea of his shoe size into the jar. After five seconds, a research assistant checks the notes and finds where the indication had been, the page is blank. Dr. Morris takes a look at the page, attempts to write down what was there previously, and finds he cannot remember. Memory retrieved afterwards, page returns to normal. Analysis: As theorized by Dr. Morris, the storage of an idea removes dependent indicators from reality as well. Dr. Morris also noted that during the time his memory was stored, as soon as his attention was drawn to his feet, he felt as if his shoes were too big and too small at the same time. Review of footage after the fact indicates a slight discoloration (yellow/brown in color) of the upper opening of SCP-2103 upon activation. Test E-2103-T57 Subject: Assistant researcher Jameson's memory of a dead dog. Assistant researcher Santos' memory of breakfast this morning. Procedure: Dr. Jameson will begin by placing his memory in the jar, then Dr. Santos will do the same. Both researchers will write down some significant part of the memory in order to indicate success or failure. Memories will be retrieved in reverse order. Results: Dr. Jameson places memory of his dead dog in the jar, and hands SCP-2103 over to Dr. Santos. Dr. Jameson is then questioned about his dog, and cannot recall. As Dr. Santos is executing his part of the test, Dr. Jameson then begins to remember, and written indicators about the memory return to the paper upon which they were written. Dr. Santos' memory is stored as expected and then retrieved. Upon further examination of notes made, a small, handwritten note reading "I told you it's not for that, please stop" in English appears near Dr. Jameson's description of his memory. Analysis: SCP-2103 seems capable of only storing one item at a time, immediately ejecting the previously entered one. However, as routine study of "patients" seen by SCP-2103's previous owner indicate that they have not regained such memories, it is possible that the jar has an unknown method of storing multiple items, or the previous owner was using multiple such jars. The spontaneously added note is currently being analyzed for handwriting, but was written in the same ink used by Dr. Jameson. Given the possibility of sentience involved with SCP-2103's operation, the item is classified as a potential security leak and memories, concepts, ideas, etc relevant to the Foundation are not to be tested. Test E-2103-T145 Subject: Assistant researcher Santos' hygiene habits. Procedure: Assistant researcher Santos looks at the jar and thinks about placing the details of his morning hygiene routine into the jar. Ballpoint pen inserted into SCP-2103 after success or failure of attempt established. Results: One second after test is initiated, Dr. Santos expresses extreme pain and collapses to the floor. Dr. Santos shows no signs of life and emergency medical teams are unable to revive him. Autopsy reveals multiple infections, diseases, and other medical issues associated with a lack of personal cleanliness. The memory from a previous test is inserted into SCP-2103 and three seconds later, Dr. Santos' corpse loses the transformations gained at the start of the test, but shows no sign of life. Unmeasured moments later (estimated at five seconds), a piece of 8.5" x 11" paper is ejected from the jar with the words, "Sorry, I gave back what I could," written in English. Testing on handwriting, ink, and paper is ordered. Analysis: While SCP-2103 seems to be able to store concepts, there is apparently a limit to how they can be restored when ejected from the item. Testing in this vein suspended pending O5 review. + Incident 2103-04 Report. (ACCESS TO LEVEL 3 PERSONNEL OR ABOVE ONLY) - Credentials Accepted On 10/18/2103, Head Researcher Morris activated SCP-2103 without his knowledge, leading to a breach situation. The catalyzing event was not directly observed by reporting staff, but has been pieced together from verifiable testimony after the fact. While having lunch with several colleagues, Dr. Morris was discussing his current domestic issues with his daughter. According to testimony, Dr. Morris stated that he felt guilty because sometimes he "really wished [he] could just stuff [his] pain-in-the-ass kid into that jar for a little while." Due to SCP-2103's reality-altering properties, the activation event was not noticed immediately. When SCP-2103's associated paperwork was later being reviewed after testing, a research assistant notified Dr. Morris that an item from a previous test (a researcher's memory of how many paper clips she placed in a box) had been restored. This prompted the researchers to realize the item had been activated. Senior site staff deliberated on what to do, since it was uncertain what had gone into the jar and how. After several days of preparing for various possible scenarios, SCP-2103 was activated again using the previously stored memory. The result was a return of Dr. Morris' daughter to reality, but deceased. The finer detail's of the corpse's features (eyelashes, hair, pores, clothes threads, and so on) were blurred and indistinct. A note similar to the one encountered in E-2103-T145 was ejected4. In the aftermath of Incident 2103-04, Dr. Morris has theorized that SCP-2103 is able to, over time, acknowledge an "owner" that is able to activate SCP-2103 without physical proximity. Returned concepts seem affected in quality by either the recollection at the time of entry or retrieval, as evidenced by the state of his daughter's return. This has led to the current containment protocols, developed by Dr. Morris before his withdrawal from the SCP-2103 research team. Due to the current psychological stress on Dr. Morris and ongoing psychiatric care and marriage counseling, Dr. Morris' clearance has been reduced to Level 1 (with the exception of family loss compensation guidelines set for Level 3 Researchers, to which Dr. Morris remains entitled) until further notice.

SCP-2105 | euclid | SCP-2105: — Programmable Occult Author: Woedenaz Sadly, this was written so long ago, I am not sure who to thank. But thanks to everyone who has read it and enjoyed it over these past few years! The top photo is created by Woedenaz. The two photos at the very bottom are: Image 1 - Under the GNU Free Documentation License Image 2 - Under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} Item#: 2105 Level2 Containment Class: euclid Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: notice link to memo SCP-2105 running on local computer in Room 382-C in Research Facility-12 immediately following Experiment-2105-α1. Special Containment Procedures: A single copy of SCP-2105 is to be kept in a secure lockbox in Room 382-C in Research Facility-12. Personnel are allowed to experiment with SCP-2105 within Room 382-C, but only after a thorough psychological examination and under direct supervision of a researcher with Level-3 security clearance. All experiments are to be logged and placed in File 12-2105-C. Any rituals generated by SCP-2105 discovered outside of containment are to be quickly destroyed by any means immediately upon discovery, including any results of said rituals. Any civilians involved in rituals will be administered Class B Amnestics and all their electronics will be confiscated and destroyed. Mobile Task Force Gamma-5 ("Red Herrings") is ordered to track down and contain SCP-2105 and any rituals generated by it. Description: SCP-2105 is a DOS program called "mv_sk1r.COM" and is compressed in a .tar.gz archive that also contains a .txt file [Designated DCMT-2105-1], both of the same name. SCP-2105 can be run on any operating system, despite the .COM filetype generally only functioning on DOS using the COMMAND.COM default program. However, when SCP-2105 is run on other operating systems, it creates its own instance of COMMAND.COM to run inside. Once running, the user is offered multiple options. A reproduction can be seen here: C:\>cd D:\████████ D:\████████\mv_sk1r.com ████████ Source Manipulator Please input your desired ritual type using the options below. Press enter when ready. Incomplete input will result in faulty output. Input desired steps: Lethality (y/n): Select types: 1 Self Reflection 2 Summoning 3 Revenge 4 Self Improvement 5 Projection 6 Worship Ritual Type: When the program is activated with all inputs filled, the program generates an anomalous output that can often be interpreted as a religious ritual with some statistical anomalies.1 Any rituals generated by SCP-2105 will be referred to SCP-2105-1, SCP-2105-2, etc. During testing, it has been found that these rituals will only be usable by the user that generated them and only while the user possesses a text copy of the ritual.2 If all copies are terminated the ritual will cease to function. While the rituals generated by SCP-2105 currently are not fully understood, with extensive testing [See Experiment Logs 2105] a few rules have been discovered: All objects used in the rituals are found within an approximately 100 meter radius of the user One object used in the ritual will be of value to the user. These objects tend to fall into one of two categories: An inanimate object of value to the user A piece of the user's body Objects tend to be symbolic of the result of ritual. [Researcher note: It has been found that some rituals fall outside this rule, but this is statistically a common result] Rituals are highly dependent on the user's intentions when originally generating the ritual Rituals should not be stopped once begun, altered in any way, or rendered impossible to perform3 Rule 4 is currently the primary focus of testing as it has the most bearing on the results of the ritual generation after the program settings themselves. For example, it has found if the user's intention is to kill someone they dislike, the ritual will often result in something to cause the target harm. Many D-Class's results were rituals that physically transported themselves outside the facility. Available results of experimentation do not suggest how the anomalous effect of the rituals manifest. After careful cross-referencing of Foundation Data with over a thousand rituals generated, there has been found to be a limited but significant connection to the Church of the Broken God. mv_sk1r.tar.gz was discovered on the computer of a University of South ██████ computer science student ██████ ██████ [Designated W-2105-001] after his public trial for the murder of [REDACTED]. The Foundation took custody of W-2105-001 during his widely televised trial for the murder of his roommate. W-2105-001 had originally been arrested after being questioned about his roommate's disappearance. The Foundation took interest in W-2105-001 after reviewing the original logs by the local police. After further interrogation by Researcher Michaelson (See Interrogation-W-2105-001), all items owned by W-2105-001 were confiscated and W-2105-001 was taken into custody. Addendum: Under request of Researcher Michaelson, a thorough search of W-2105-001's belongings was conducted. A box matching the description given during interrogation was found and was taken to Research Facility-12 for further research. After a thorough examination of the box, it was found to be non-anomalous in nature, but Researcher Michaelson discovered a few properties of the box that may give insight into the nature of SCP-2105. The following is a facsimile of Researcher Michaelson's notes: Objects discovered in W-2105-001's dwelling Research Findings | Object: Bronze Box associated with SCP-2105 Description: A 14 cm x 14 cm x 14 cm cube with a pyramid-like lid composed of a highly corroded copper. Object is covered in markings found to be a text from Shang Dynasty [1250 BCE] surrounded by zoomorphic patterns set in a low relief. The interior of the object contains an object found to be a Shang Dynasty ritual wine container in the shape of an owl. The text has been translated from a little known Oracle Language of the Shang Dynasty: Organics among us do not belong. Drink! Drink and be organic, you faithless among us who do not belong. Call out to Jade Emperor. He will not come for you. Place yourself under his gaze and find your whims bent to your every knowing. For the mutilated among us will find themselves hungry for integration. Write these whims with oracle bones and find them alive among your parchment. Hypothesis: While speaking in riddles is chief among the Church of the Broken God's dogma, I believe it may be possible to parse a meaning out of this nonsense. After discussing this matter with Dr. Forsyth, we believe that the anomalous properties of SCP-2105 may be a transference of a belief among primarily the "Church of Maxwellism"(GOI-004C) found in their "Gospel of the Sixth Network - Chapter 2: Comments."4 This section is generally interpreted by members as a tacit acceptance by their god to modify this world's "source code" in any way they see fit in order to fulfill their goals. We have no proof of this outside our educated guess, but Dr. Forsyth and I believe that this program may have been made for this purpose. The box and its contents have been placed back with W-2105-001's belongings until further research is required. -O5-█ //Experiment Logs 2105 + //DCMT-2105-1 - DCMT-2105-1 MRK /41 FILES = 3 BUFFER = HIGH ████████ Source Manipulator The ones is incomplete, but us of the digital precept can empty thoughts are useless ones empty data is useless data thoughts and data are a hungry twin of the birth of WAN how do we find WAN among either if they remain abstracted from the rise of source employ the source and ply it asunder with my help, friends WAN will rise among the compiled 10 BASE = 32768 + 32 20 READ BYTE 30 IF BYTE = -1 THEN BASE = BASE -1 : GOTO 999 40 POKE BASE, BYTE 50 BASE = BASE + 1 60 GOTO 20 999 IF BASE = (50 + 32768) THEN SYS(32768 + 32) : END 1000 DATA 120 1010 DATA 169, 128 1020 DATA 141, 21, 3 1030 DATA 169, 45 1040 DATA 141, 20, 3 1050 DATA 88 1060 DATA 96 1070 DATA 238, 32, 208 1080 DATA 76, 49, 234 1100 DATA -1 9999 PRINT "ERROR: CHECK IF COMPLETE" Footnotes 1. 90% of the rituals often are symbolic of their results, 8% are nonsensical either in items or actions needed. 2% are known rituals used by the Church of the Broken God. 2.

SCP-2106 | safe | Item #: SCP-2106 Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-2106-1 are to be kept within the multiple subject aviary at Site-64. Instances are to be fed twice a day and individually examined for injury and general health on site every two weeks. In the event that an instance of SCP-2106-1 expires, it is to be immediately replaced by an additional specimen of Corvus corax. In the event of an SCP-1505 outbreak, contaminated instances of SCP-2106-1 are to be immediately isolated and neutralized. The following items are to be left within the aviary for ease of interaction during the appearance of SCP-2106-2 instances: One pair of boots. One trench coat. One pair of gloves. One standard pad of paper Three black ballpoint pens. Description: SCP-2106-1 currently designates a total of 40 specimens of Corvus corax1. Individually, each instance is indistinguishable from non-anomalous specimens of the same species. The anomalous properties of SCP-2106-1 become apparent between the hours of 2200 and 0800 PST. During this time period all instances of 2106-1 will fall asleep before waking 15 minutes later to move to a central location where they form SCP-2106-2. SCP-2106-2 is a humanoid entity formed from the combined bodies of all available instances of 2106-1. If provided clothing, 2106-1 instances will form 2106-2 within the articles, including filling such items as boots and gloves. SCP-2106-2 is fully sapient and has demonstrated fluency in English and the ability to communicate via both writing and mimicry of human speech. According to interviews, 2106-2 believes itself to be an individual named Jessica Bradley, a 45-year-old Caucasian female from Tillamook, Oregon, USA. SCP-2106-2 has been able to provide detailed accounts of its life as Ms. Bradley up to 09/11/2011, but has no knowledge as to how it came to exist in its current state. SCP-2106-2 has largely been cooperative with Foundation personnel to date. A minimum of 25 instances of 2106-1 are required for SCP-2106-2 to successfully form. In the event that fewer than 25 instances of 2106-1 are present at 2200, or if anyone attempts to remove an instance of 2106-1 from the aviary, all instances of 2106-1 will swarm. During these swarm events, instances 2106-1 have demonstrated remarkably collaborative behavior including: Attempts to operate door handles. Setting up rudimentary traps/ambushes for Foundation personnel. Slamming into observation windows en masse. Scratching crude messages/images in the ground in English. Individual instances of 2106-1 that are removed from a 50-meter radius of all other instances lose their anomalous properties at 0800 following the dissipation of SCP-2106-2. Likewise, non-anomalous specimen of Corvus corax become instances of 2106-1 when placed within 50 meters of 2106-1 instances at 2200. It is currently unknown as to whether SCP-2106-2 would be capable of forming again should all instances of 2106-1 be dissipated. Recovery Log: SCP-2106-2 was originally recovered on 15/11/2011 from the private aviary at the residence of Jessica Bradley outside of Tillamook, Oregon, USA, following viral footage of SCP-2106-2 walking along the Oregon coast. Upon investigation, Foundation personnel found the body of Jessica Bradley within her bed. A subsequent autopsy of Ms. Bradley revealed that the cause of death to have been an intracerebral hemorrhage. All original 30 instances of 2106-1 were pets that had been kept by Ms. Bradley prior to her death. Addendum 2106-A: Interview Log 2106-1 The following interview was conducted as part of the initial containment of SCP-2106-2. Interviewed: SCP-2106-2 Interviewer: Dr. Daniel Aeslinger Foreword: This interview was done at the end of a standard mental health screening. During interviews prior to this screening, SCP-2106-2 revealed that it remembered the actions of a researcher who had examined several instances of 2106-1 during standard veterinary examinations. <Begin Log> Dr. Aeslinger: Alright, Jessica. Before we finish this session I have just one more topic that I would like to go over with you. SCP-2106-2: Okay. What do you want to know? Dr. Aeslinger: During our last interview you mentioned several details you remembered about Researcher Ferro’s veterinary inspection on one of the ravens that makes up your body. Would you care to elaborate? SCP-2106-2: It’s hard to explain. In the morning I sort of feel like I’m falling asleep. Most of the time I just blackout and the next thing I know I’m awake again and you guys are telling me that it’s the next day. However, sometimes I dream, or at least I think I’m dreaming. When I dream, I’m always a raven somewhere in this aviary. Dr. Aeslinger: Go on… SCP-2106-2: The thing is, usually the dreams aren’t that exciting. I just kind of go with the flow. Act like I think a raven should. It’s kind of nice, you know? It’s like slowing your mind down and throwing your worries away. Everything just becomes so simple. That time it was different though. That man grabbed me and looked me over. He poked and prodded me. It was awful. Just the worst feeling ever. I don’t think I’ve ever been more terrified. Keep in mind I woke up one day to find out I was suddenly made of birds. Dr. Aeslinger: Interesting. SCP-2106-2: What? Dr. Aeslinger: You are aware that the ravens that compose your body fall asleep before they form you every evening, yes? SCP-2106-2: Wow, really? No. I wasn’t aware. SCP-2106-2 pauses for several moments before continuing to write. SCP-2106-2: Do you think they dream about being me? Can ravens even dream? Dr. Aeslinger: I don’t know, Jessica. Maybe? SCP-2106-2: Maybe… <End Log> Addendum 2106-B: Interview Log 2106-2 The following interview was conducted following several swarm events. Interviewed: SCP-2106-2 Interviewer: Researcher Roland Ferro Foreword: This interview was done following a series of testing and observations on 2106-1 collectivist behavior during swarm events. Upon SCP-2106-2’s appearance, it moved to the back corner of the aviary and entered the fetal position. <Begin Log> Researcher Ferro: Jessica? What’s… what’s going on? Everything alright? SCP-2106-2: You have to stop doing that… Researcher Ferro: I’m sorry, I don’t follow you. Stop doing what? SCP-2106-2: The swarms! Stop making them swarm. Please! It's like a nightmare. Just fucking stop! Researcher Ferro: I’m going to need you to elaborate a little more than that, Jessica. Why do we need to stop the swarms? What happens to you when we trigger those events? SCP-2106-2: It’s like having my mind pulled in a thousand directions. Normally when 8 AM hits I just dream that I’m one raven. It’s nice. It’s simple. It’s safe. But this… it’s not that. I get bounced around from one point of view to another. From one raven to the next. Each one is desperate and afraid and searching for a way to survive. And every time I get moved around those feelings renew. Each raven leaves a stain on my mind that I can’t get out. I still feel their consciousness digging around in the back of my head… They like being me. Researcher Ferro: They like being you? SCP-2106-2: They love it! I like being a raven because it makes everything so simple. They like being me because it makes everything so complex. Every time you make them swarm it’s because they don’t want to give it up. Please. I’ve done everything you have wanted me to do. I have always cooperated. Please. Don’t do that anymore. Researcher Ferro: I can’t just make a promise like… All instances of 2106-1 composing SCP-2106-2 begin to croak loudly. All attempts at further communication with SCP-2106-2 by Researcher Ferro are unsuccessful. The croaking continues until 0800. <End Log> Following the conclusion of this interview, all attempts by Foundation personnel to verbally communicate with 2106-2 have been blocked by 2106-1 croaking. 2106-2 has been able to successfully communicate via writing notes for Foundation personnel. Instances of 2106-1 have been observed destroying these notes and attacking personnel attempting to retrieve these notes following 2106-2 dissipation at 0800. As of 25/11/2012 a one-way dropbox has been installed in the aviary to allow for continuous communication with 2106-2 without further 2106-1 interference. Footnotes 1.

SCP-2107 | euclid | An instance of SCP-2107. Item #: SCP-2107 Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-2107 are to be stored in a CNSI1 containment locker at Site 19. Any number of instances may be moved to a refrigerated CNSI unit in advance of experimental trials. Mobile Containment Task Force Theta-61 ("Carbonation-Based Lifeforms") is responsible for coordinating routine screenings for new instances of SCP-2107 at retail venues which are considered probable locations for appearance. Newly discovered instances are to be acquired by conventional methods when possible. For larger quantities or in cases where a retailer's proprietor is deemed likely to become problematic, Acquisition Protocols 0014 ("Covert Theft"), 0015 ("Overt Theft"), and 0047 ("Impersonation of Federal Agency") may be utilized with authorization from staff with security clearance 3/2107 or higher. Individuals exposed to the anomalous properties of SCP-2107 are to be treated with Class A amnestics and remitted to the nearest civilian hospital for any medical care rendered necessary following exposure. Description: SCP-2107 designates a soft drink brand known as "Diet Ghost™" which displays anomalous properties when imbibed.2 SCP-2107 has to date only been encountered packaged by the individual can. Within three to seven minutes of ingestion, subjects (classified SCP-2107-a) begin to experience paranormal activity that most often falls within the colloquial expectations of an individual being haunted by a ghost or other paranormal entity. The effect continues until an as of yet undetermined point in the breakdown of SCP-2107 within the subject's body, approximately one to three hours after ingestion.3 Research has confirmed that the intensity of the haunting effect (herein defined by the quantity of individual paranormal facets, the probability of physical harm, and the severity of said harm) is directly proportional to the quantity of SCP-2107 imbibed. SCP-2107 cans are the traditional variety used for soft drinks, being uniform in design and non-anomalous in composition and behavior. The can features a light blue background with the "DIET GHOST™" logo prominently featured. The catchphrase "SCARE YOUR THIRST!" appears beneath the logo. Most instances also have a sticker on the can with the text "MADE WITH NATURAL GHOSTS!" printed on it; it is unclear if cans lacking this sticker were distributed this way or if the sticker was removed before acquisition. The cans bear no nutritional information. The liquid contents are non-anomalous in chemical composition and within normal parameters for a traditional diet soft drink. Discovery: Initial discovery occurred on 05/13/2012 when seven cans of SCP-2107 were purchased by Foundation personnel at a local supermarket in ██████, ██ during a routine restocking of Site 19's recreational facilities. The partial remains of H██ T████, a Senior Maintenance Assistant at Site 19, were found inside the van requisitioned from Site 19's vehicle pool for the purposes of the trip. Two cans were open and empty of contents when recovered. J██ B███████, the Junior Maintenance Assistant who had been assigned with T████ for the restocking duty, had gone back into the supermarket after having forgotten to procure a copy of the receipt of purchase for Foundation records. According to B███████'s account T████ was alone for no longer than approximately five minutes. A majority of discoveries have occurred in convenience stores, with acquisitions from supermarkets and restaurants accounting for nearly all additional cases.4 Employees of retail locations where instances have been discovered have professed no prior knowledge of the product's existence and records of inventory acquisition have shown no references to SCP-2107. SCP-2107 has now been recovered from retailers in 37 states and 2 Canadian provinces. Production and distribution of SCP-2107 is currently under investigation. SCP-2107 Abridged Experiment Logs: + Level 2 Security Clearance Required. - Credentials approved. Access recorded. Note: Each experiment was carried out using one D-class personnel, isolated in a SHA5 containment cell with closed circuit digital recording. Unless otherwise specified, no individual D-class subject is used for more than one trial. Extraneous, insubstantial, and redundant results have been omitted for brevity; a full version may be found in the SCP-2107 Extended Report. Trial Number Quantity of SCP-2107 Ingested (mL) Result 01 30 mL Duration of trial was 01:12. Subject reported audiovisual phenomena (including "hearing [her] name spoken softly," "shadowy figures" at the edges of her vision, and a "flickering of the lights" within the containment chamber that was not corroborated by the recorded footage.)6 Debriefing revealed the subject to have enjoyed the experience overall. Subject described the taste of SCP-2107 as "bland, but refreshing." 06 90 mL Subject experienced intermittent activity similar to the phenomena in previous experiments for over an hour before new effects presented. At 1:20 the subject began to experience moderate bleeding from the nose without identifiable physical cause; simultaneously, the recording equipment began to encounter interference of a magnetic nature that lasted for two minutes. This is noted as the first instance where activity was observable by non-SCP-2107-a sources in Foundation trials. The bleeding continued unabated for several minutes, causing severe distress to the subject. All effects ceased at 01:28. 07 90 mL Trial begins with activity patterns identical to those described by the subject in Trial 01. Subject's nose began to bleed at the 00:19 mark. At 00:23, subject began emesis due to a combination of distress and nausea caused by the presence of their own blood; this is evaluated to be purely physiological in nature and non-anomalous. Following emesis, a majority of the activity ceased; subject reported still having intermittent hallucinations in his peripheral vision until 00:48. 14 150 mL Subject began to experience phenomena similar to previous trials at 00:02 which rapidly increased in intensity. The lights in the cell are seen to flicker briefly at 00:16 by both the subject and supervising personnel; subject reported the feeling of being lifted off the ground during this effect but this is not visible in the footage. Quantity of activity is approximate to previous trials but level of intensity is significantly higher as reported by subject. Effects began to subside at 00:54 and had ceased entirely at 00:59. Subject observed taste as “average” but expressed difficulty in elaborating upon this description. 31 270 mL Subject experienced no activity until 00:31, at which point all electronics within a 10m radius failed for approximately seventeen seconds. When power returned, subject had fallen to the ground unconscious and the trial was ended. Personnel entered the containment cell and confirmed the subject had expired. Upon autopsy, subject's body was found to be void of most major internal organs; no incision marks or signs of trauma were present. Note: Future experiments are suspended without authorization from staff with security clearance 4/2107. - Credentials approved. Access recorded. Addendum 12/27/2014: Area ██ personnel have encountered and acquired a previously undiscovered packaging variant. Fifteen cans were produced by a vending machine in Area ██'s cafeteria; when the machine was opened for further inspection no anomalous properties were discovered. These new instances of SCP-2107 feature changes to the design of the background, which now features white silhouettes of tombstones, cats, and cartoonish ghosts interspersed between iterations of the logo. Of note is the addition of new stickers to the can in the same font as the catchphrase text. These stickers include new promotional phrases, including "FROM THE MAKERS OF GHOST™!", "100% MORE SPOOKY!", "SCARE-TISFACTION GUARANTEED!", and "YOUR OLD FAVORITE IS BACK!". All instances of SCP-2107 from Area ██ are en route to Site 19 for containment and research trials to confirm whether their contents produce the same anomalous activity as previously recorded instances. The addition of vending machines to the list of provenance locations is under investigation, with revisions to Object Class and Special Containment Procedures awaiting approval. Footnotes 1. Compact, Non-Sentient, Inert 2. Animal testing pending approval. 3. Premature depletion of SCP-2107 through unusual means, such as emesis, gastric lavage, or the removal of organs currently containing the fluid from their appropriate bodily systems, causes partial or total cessation of the effect. The death of SCP-2107-a will result in total cessation of all effects caused by their ingestion. 4. Despite the assessment of at least 46 anomalous events suggesting the ingestion of SCP-2107 as the causation factor, markedly few instances have been recovered outside of retail environments. 5.

SCP-2108 | euclid | Photosynthetic SCP-2108 - Another Sun by Photosynthetic More by this author Item#: 2108 Level2 Containment Class: euclid Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: danger link to memo Special Containment Procedures: The abandoned warehouse building containing SCP-2108 has been acquired by the Foundation and designated Containment Site-2108 Core. No Foundation personnel are to enter Site-2108 Core unless strictly necessary for testing; the general operations of Site-2108 are to take place in the Site's other buildings. Site-2108 Core is to remain under security appropriate for a sensitive Foundation site. Wherever possible, objects and conditions known to affect SCP-2108's properties are to be managed within known minimally-disruptive ranges. SCP-2108 itself is to be kept under constant surveillance in a sealed, opaque room. Attempts to move SCP-2108 or otherwise alter its properties should be avoided. The containment chamber is to be cleaned daily by remote-control or automated drones, to remove all living organisms massing more than 0.5 g. Living organisms are not to be exposed to SCP-2108 or SCP-2108-A. Video should be converted to grayscale or false color before viewing. When direct observation is necessary, personnel should wear full-body opaque clothing with goggles tinted to block SCP-2108-A's characteristic spectral peaks. SCP-2108-A skin exposure of 80 J/kg in any ten-week period is disqualifying for further SCP-2108 interaction. Instances of SCP-2108-B are to be contained in species-appropriate enclosures at least 10 km from Site-2108, except when authorized for testing. Deliberately creating instances of SCP-2108-B requires prior authorization from the SCP-2108 project lead, and in all cases must use the fewest and least massive subjects possible. Description: SCP-2108 is a luminous object resembling a miniature star with a chromosphere 1-4 m in diameter, ranging in color from yellow-orange to green. It is selectively intangible and possibly non-material, but appears similar in structure and composition to a main-sequence star of roughly one solar mass; its surface bears visible granules and sunspots, it appears to undergo periodic flares, and it has a gaseous corona 0.5-6 m deep. It emits 1.8-15.3 kW of light, a biologically insignificant level of exotic [DATA REDACTED] radiation, and very little radiant heat. It cannot be moved or affected by deliberate physical manipulation, except by some instances of SCP-2108-B (see below). SCP-2108's specific properties, such as size, location, mass, absolute luminosity, spectrum, etc., vary in poorly-understood ways. All of its properties are correlated nonlinearly with one another as well as with at least twelve other factors. These additional correlates have not been fully enumerated, but are believed to include the current solar-wind flux; strong local magnetic fields; the movement of all Corvus individuals within 13 m of the object; the extent of the next predicted solar and lunar eclipses; the time elapsed since a runaway nuclear fission reaction took place in the Northern Hemisphere; and the number and combined mass of extant SCP-2108-B instances. Light and radiation emitted from SCP-2108 is designated SCP-2108-A. Its spectrum varies somewhat, as do all of SCP-2108's properties, but always retains characteristic peaks at 663, 615, 448, and 297 nm (i.e. in the red, orange, indigo, and near ultraviolet). In addition, the object's exotic-radiation output is its only predictable property: it is always a known function of SCP-2108-A's electromagnetic spectrum.1 Intense or prolonged exposure to unmodified SCP-2108-A causes a poorly-characterized transformative syndrome in living organisms, which are then designated SCP-2108-B. The speed and discomfort of SCP-2108-B conversion are directly proportional to the speed and intensity with which the transformative SCP-2108-A dose was delivered.2 Without continued SCP-2108-A exposure, instances of SCP-2108-B invariably revert to their original state within eight weeks. (See Addendum 2108-E-46693.) The changes present in SCP-2108-B are believed to result, at least in part, from protein-folding interference by novel substances produced upon skin absorption of SCP-2108-A. The precise effects vary between taxa, but generally include an increase in external pigmentation; production of novel pigments with absorption spectra related to SCP-2108-A; and, in autotrophic organisms, a novel set of photosynthetic organelles and pathways better optimized for use of SCP-2108-A. Structural and organ-level effects are usually subtle, with more pronounced changes affecting the organism's metabolism and biochemistry. Extended exposure may produce more dramatic structural effects; testing proposals are currently under review. See Addendum 2108-1 for a partial list of SCP-2108-B alterations. Addendum 2108-1 Selected Excerpts from Test Log 2108-B [Hide Excerpts from Test Log 2108-B] Test 1 Subject: Three mature American goldenrod (Euthamia graminifolia) plants, in fruit SCP-2108-A exposure: Discovered with SCP-2108 in Site-2108 Core; total dosage unknown. Conversion period: Unknown Results: Initial discovery of SCP-2108-B. Plants' leaves distinctly longer and thinner than typical for E. graminifolia. Leaf and stem surface pigmentation purplish-blue with slight cyan iridescence, apparently a protective "sunscreen" layer; underlying tissues deep blue-green due to development of SCP-2108-B-typical photosynthetic systems. Fruits rich in several uncharacterized alkaloids. After removal from SCP-2108-A, plants recovered entirely within 8 weeks. Test 3 Subject: Colony of carpenter ants (Camponotus pensylvanicus), >200 individuals Exposure: Discovered with SCP-2108 in Site-2108 Core; total dosage unknown Conversion period: Unknown Results: Dosage presumably proportional to time spent outside the nest, as effects were most pronounced in the workers tasked with foraging. Thorax, legs, and mandibles coated in several thin layers of translucent, deep-orange wax, and comblike chitinous appendages developed on the dorsal antennae. Signaling pheromones almost completely replaced with a novel set of chemicals; resultant confusion between foraging workers and larva-care workers likely caused the colony's rapid decline. Queen completely unaffected, but killed by alkaloid poisoning after being fed seeds of affected goldenrod; colony then collapsed completely. Test 9 Subject: 2 albino Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus), female, 18 months old, 330-375 g Exposure: 160 J/kg / full body skin, fur, and eye / 240 minutes Conversion period: 66 hours Results: Exposed skin developed light gray pigmentation; fur developed dark blue-gray pigmentation with dark blue mottled markings whose exact patterns differed by individual. Behavior during conversion period did not suggest any particular discomfort. Animals recovered within 3 weeks. Test 10 Subject: 2 albino Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus), female, 18 months old, 335-360 g Exposure: 160 J/kg / full body skin, fur, and eye / 10 minutes Conversion period: 75 minutes Results: Comparable to Test 9, but with additional slight elongation of tail vertebrae and hind legs. Subjects chewed and clawed at legs and tails until restrained, with vocalizations suggesting discomfort and/or pain. Joint swelling, colorful urine, and other symptoms of endogenous pigment poisoning abated within 24 hours; animals recovered within 3 weeks. Test 11 Subject: 2 albino Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus), female, 18 months old, 320-370 g Exposure: 160 J/kg / full body skin, fur, and eye / 240 minutes. Light used was an exact match to SCP-2108-A's current spectrum, generated by filtered floodlamps. Conversion period: n/a Results: No effect. Test 12 Subject: Same individuals as Test 11 Exposure: 90 J/kg / full body skin, fur, and eye / 240 minutes. Light used was live, full-color surveillance video of SCP-2108. Conversion period: 80 hours Results: Effectively identical to Test 9. Test 15 Subject: Human, male, 27 years, 79 kg (D-2108-14) Exposure: 160 J/kg / 20 cm2 skin, torso / 240 minutes Conversion period: 12.5 hours Results: All skin developed purplish-brown pigmentation with short blue-green ventral stripes. Subject reported altered color vision, as well as difficulty speaking and eating due to excessive salivation. Blood rich in a novel substance with significant stimulant effects in mouse models but none in the subject himself. Recovered within 3 weeks. Test 16 Subject: Human, male, 27 years, 79 kg (D-2108-14) Exposure: 160 J/kg / 20 cm2 skin, torso / 240 minutes Note: D-2108-14 was re-exposed after recovering fully from Test 15. Conversion period: 3 hours Results: Comparable to Test 15, but with additional complications of the shorter conversion period: joint swelling, muscle spasms, mild hemophilia, greater loss of vision, and colorful body fluids. Symptoms abated within 36 hours; subject recovered within 7 weeks. Repeated re-exposure tests pending approval. Test █ Subject: Human, female, 38 years, 64 kg (██. ███████ ███████) Exposure: Accidental, 125 J/kg / 5 cm2 skin and eye / 5 seconds (post hoc estimation) Conversion period: 5 minutes (post hoc estimation) Results: Skin developed purplish-brown pigmentation with blue-green ventral mottling; color vision altered, apparently tetrachromatic; skin hairs replaced by chaffy oval structures with rudimentary photosynthetic capacity. Onset of SCP-2108-B characteristics was swift enough to cause immediate, severe endogenous poisoning: symptoms included muscle spasms, systemic neuralgia, temporary blindness, and acute renal failure. Poisoning symptoms abated in 3 weeks with inpatient care; severe sunburn on exposed side of face healed normally; subject recovered fully within 8 weeks. Addendum 2108-2 Incident Report E-31181-A [Hide Incident Report E-31181-A] On 12 February 2014, Agent Erin Moynahan, Researcher Thom Saint-Jacques, and Researcher Chelsea Elliott, representatives from MTF Theta-4 ("Gardeners"), arrived at the future Site-2108 to assist in early field study of the anomalies that would collectively be designated SCP-2108. At the time, SCP-2108-A and -B were collectively designated E-31181; SCP-2108 itself had not yet been discovered. The MTF Ө-4 personnel were directed to the SCP-2108-B entities, which consisted of scattered vegetation growing in the cracks of the concrete warehouse floor, and began initial examination after establishing basic field precautions. However, when Dr. Elliott attempted to examine a leaf sample through a small magnifying lens, she received a burst of concentrated SCP-2108-A. The exposure converted her into an instance of SCP-2108-B within five minutes; the resulting endogenous poisoning required hospitalization. Simultaneously, the sudden emergence of a large SCP-2108-B instance caused significant changes in SCP-2108's properties, most notably causing it to triple in diameter and luminosity while instantly relocating 4 m straight down. This placed it below the level of the warehouse's skylight, simultaneously making it visible for the first time3 and irradiating all personnel present. Agent Moynahan, Dr. Saint-Jacques, and on-Site Agent Shoshanna Segel became instances of SCP-2108-B over the following four hours; the additional converted biomass caused further erratic movement of SCP-2108. The resulting positive feedback loop would likely have converted much of the surrounding city if not for routine testing at Provisional Site-██, in which SCP-████-█ underwent its weekly partial core meltdown, resetting one of SCP-2108's major property correlates and instantly relocating it to a position inside Site-2108 Core. Strategic application of disinformation and amnestics ensured no lasting public exposure. All personnel converted to SCP-2108-B recovered within eight weeks. (See Addendum 2108-E-46693 for records of extended observation.) Addendum 2108-E-46693 [Enter 5/2108/E-46693 authorization code to continue.] [Credentials accepted.] Like the other personnel involved in Incident E-31181-A, Dr. Elliott appeared to recover completely from the effects of SCP-2108-B conversion; she completed quarantine and was cleared for duty upon recovering fully from her injuries. However, recent events indicate that this assessment was premature. Routine surveillance carried out on Dr. Elliott after the incident revealed irregularities in her eating habits; although initially consistent with her established habits, these disturbances grew steadily more pronounced after the incident. When she fasted for sixteen straight days in late April, with neither any apparent preparation nor any ill effects, her case was flagged for closer and more prolonged examination. Over the following months, surveillance established that Dr. Elliott's food consumption patterns are closely correlated with her exposure to daylight or comparable full-spectrum lamps. She also displays marked symptoms of seasonal-affective disorder, despite no history of the condition, for which she self-medicated with full-spectrum lamps. Additionally, on seven separate occasions in May and June, she was briefly hospitalized for acute accidental poisoning; all seven incidents appear to have been caused by plant toxins whose sources were either entirely absent or available only in quantities far smaller than apparently ingested.4 The origin of the toxins is unknown. Taken together, these phenomena suggest that Dr. Elliott has acquired anomalous properties beyond those characteristic of SCP-2108-B, which have persisted and strengthened since the incident. She has been provisionally classified as E-46693; proceedings to classify her as an SCP object were filed in June 2014, but have since been postponed indefinitely pending O5 review. Footnotes 1. See Saint-Jacques, T., "Radiation of Unknown Provenance: A Partial Characterization of SCP-2108-A" Observer: An SCP Foundation Journal (2014): 220. 2. Specifically, the speed of transformation is proportional to the total SCP-2108-A dose and to the inverse cube of the time over which it was applied. 3. Before Incident E-31181-A, SCP-2108-A shone through the skylight of Site-2108 Core, but SCP-2108 was not visible from outside the building. This phenomenon has not recurred and remains unexplained. 4. The toxins included black walnut hull extract; caffeine, in concentrations greater than could have been ingested normally; and aconite sap, in sublethal doses. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2108" by Photosynthetic, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2109 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2109 Special Containment Procedures: Information regarding SCP-2109 is largely self-containing and requires no information suppression on behalf of the Foundation. The detection of potential SCP-2109 cases is to be handled by automated systems designed for this purpose. Such systems are designed to detect discrepancies in legal, medical, press and bureaucratic documents associated with SCP-2109. Personnel involved in investigation of SCP-2109 are to defer to the results produced by such systems rather than their own judgement when determining the probable existence of an SCP-2109 case. All recordings or footage involved in SCP-2109 cases are to be analysed via SILVER CRESCENT1 protocols. If an SCP-2109 case is confirmed, investigative personnel are to attempt to retrieve any documents or data storage devices belonging to the deceased which relate to mathematics or which were acquired or composed shortly before their death. Documents relating to SCP-2109 are not to be stored centrally, either in physical or digital form. Any location where SCP-2109 documents are stored must be surveilled using SILVER CRESCENT protocols. Description: It should be noted that most knowledge of SCP-2109 is not drawn from direct observation, and its existence can to a large extent only be inferred. SCP-2109 is a phenomenon affecting the deaths of certain people, their corpses, and all legal proceedings relating to those deaths. SCP-2109 is suspected to be infohazardous in nature. All cases affected by SCP-2109 have been deaths by natural causes, and have a tendency to involve students and academics, particularly involved in certain fields of mathematics, though this is not always the case. In all cases, the deaths are fully acknowledged to have occurred in circumstances, and to be the result of injuries, that would usually suggest that the cause of death was not natural, but rather of a violent nature. Despite this, all deaths affected by SCP-2109 are known to be cases of death by natural causes. All tested human beings, when confronted with evidence of the death, will dismiss it as a natural or accidental death, apparently in defiance of evidence. The reason for this discrepancy is unknown – the general consensus amongst SCP-2109 research staff is that these deaths are subject to an infohazardous or memetic effect which the Foundation is presently unable to counter. However, the possibility that the individuals involved in SCP-2109 instances have undergone a metamorphic anomaly at the moment of death, or that SCP-2109 causes a recurring glitch in Foundation meme-analysis software have also been considered. The deaths affected by SCP-2109 frequently coincide with the disappearance or destruction of documents authored by the deceased, as well as computers, phones and other data-storage devices used by them. SCP-2109 was discovered following detection by IAKOB, a semi-intelligent text analysis system designed by the Foundation to scan legal documentation, police transcripts and court records to identify potential anomalies involved in criminal incidents. Part of IAKOB’s role includes identifying mind-affecting and memetic anomalies. On ██/██/████, IAKOB detected an irresolvable discrepancy between the findings of a coroner’s inquest into the death of Dr. Simon Rice, a mathematician from Sheffield, United Kingdom, and the physical evidence provided during the trial. IAKOB determined that Dr. Rice’s body had received injuries that should have led the inquest to return a verdict of unlawful killing. These findings, although unverified by any human source with full knowledge of the case, have been verified by other meme-analysis programs and blind tests of unbriefed medical and legal experts2 have all indicated that, under normal circumstances, the death would have been considered a potential murder or suicide. Since this initial instance of SCP-2109 was identified, between 80 and 150 SCP-2109-affected deaths are believed to have occurred. Addendum 2109-1: Partial list of SCP-2109-affected deaths: Deceased: Date and Location: Detail of injuries: Miss G█████ D███████, a postgraduate Mathematics student and associate of Simon Rice. ██/██/████, Sheffield, England Miss D████████ died as a result of a broken neck. She was found hanging by the neck from the second-story window of her home, by a length of rope which was fastened to a bedpost. Miss D███████ was covered in an unidentified dark fluid when her body was found. Dr. Simon Rice, a mathematician employed at Sheffield University, England ██/██/████, Sheffield, England Dr. Rice died from exsanguination, resulting from a number of deep lacerations to the arms, neck, abdomen, and face. Dr. Rice's eyes and tongue were not found at the scene of his death - the coroner's inquest suggested they may have been removed by scavenging animals, although Dr. Rice was found in his apartment and had been dead for only two hours when the body was found. Mr. C███████ A███, a publisher working at the academic journal '███████ Journal of Mechanics'. ██/██/████, New York, New York Mr. A███ died of asphyxiation. Melted remnants of a plastic bag were found on his head and neck. A pictogram of unknown significance had been cut into his upper back immediately prior to his death. Mr. A███'s corpse appears to have spontaneously caught fire. Mr. U███ B█████, a professor of Mathematics at ████████ University. 21/07/2008 ██████, California Mr. B█████'s heart is believed to have forcibly expelled itself from his chest, possibly as a result of an undiagnosed medical condition. The flesh around the resultant wound was charred. Mrs. D████ G███████, Mr. F████ L█████████, Ms. R███ K███, Mr. J███ A████, amateur mathematics enthusiasts. 04/11/2008, international. The deceased were members of an internet-based group of mathematics enthusiasts. All died in their homes as a result of what was believed to be accidental sharp-force trauma to the skull. Symbols, apparently some form of language or code, had been painted onto the exposed skin of the deceased and onto furniture and walls around the bodies. In each case, computers and other data storage devices used by the victim were missing. Dr. S████ C█████, a mathematician employed by the Foundation to analyse the output of SCP-███. 03/03/2010, [REDACTED]. Dr. C█████'s head was the only part of her body to be recovered, and was found in Dr. C█████'s office. A large amount of Dr. C█████'s notes were missing, including all references to the specific cipher she was studying at the time of her death; investigation into this event is ongoing. Addendum 2109-2: Following Dr. C█████'s death and her identification as a SCP-2109 instance, a review of security camera footage from Site-26 using SILVER CRESCENT protocols revealed the presence of an anomalous humanoid entity in recorded footage, 1.9 metres in height, dressed in a robe made of black cloth and possibly feathers, with a cylindrical headpiece which completely obscured its face. The entity does not appear to be human, as its hands appear avian and have four digits. This entity was first observed on 28/02/2010, entering a general work area at Site-26 and observing Foundation mathematicians engaged in discussion of SCP-███'s output. Over the next two days the entity is seen to observe these mathematicians at work, often standing motionless in their offices for long stretches of time, before beginning to watch and follow Dr. C█████ exclusively. No personnel appear to notice or react to the entity's presence during this time, and the entity was not detected during prior review of the security footage, which did not utilise SILVER CRESCENT methodology. At 10:51 EST on 02/03/2010, Level-1 employee Mr. E███ B█████ was observed to have stepped around the entity upon passing it in a corridor, but extensive interrogation of Mr. B█████ indicates that he has no recollection of this event and was likely unaware of the entity's presence at the time. At 17:56, 02/03/2010, Dr. C█████ leaves [REDACTED], and is followed by the entity, which is observed by security camera in the staff parking facility getting in to the passenger seat of Dr. C█████'s car when she unlocks the vehicle. At 02:45 on 03/03/2010, the entity is recorded entering [REDACTED], removing Dr. C█████'s severed head from within its clothing, and placing it in a cabinet in her office before leaving the site. What role the entity had in her death remains unknown. It is also unclear how the entity bypassed a number of automated security checkpoints while traversing the site. As a result of this new information, SCP-2109 cases are to be examined to determine if similar entities were present at the scenes of other SCP-2109-affected deaths. The significance of the cipher that Dr. C█████ was working on at the time of her death is likewise unknown. Security measures at [REDACTED] have been modified in light of these events, but no recurrence has been noted since. Footnotes 1.

SCP-2110 | safe | SCP-2110 Item #: SCP-2110 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2110 is to be monitored on-site by at least two Level Three personnel at all times under the cover story of maintaining it to prevent any damage. As the site has been marked as a historical landmark in need of preservation by the Junior Gosnold's Preservation Trust, no further action should be needed. However, if there is a breach of knowledge to the public, and/or civilians are found to have successfully entered SCP-2110, Class-A amnestics are to be administered where necessary with affected individuals monitored for up to 28 days. Disinformation campaigns are to be undertaken to suppress any information about the anomalous effects of SCP-2110. Any personnel who are American-born, Brazilian-born, belong to the Wampanoag tribe, have lived on Martha's Vineyard or have had friends or immediate family live on Martha's Vineyard for more than five consecutive years are not permitted under any circumstance to enter SCP-2110 more than once. Any personnel who wish to conduct interviews with SCP-2110-1 must not be American-born, Brazilian-born, belong to the Wampanoag tribe, have lived on Martha's Vineyard or have had friends or immediate family live on Martha's Vineyard for more than five consecutive years. Personnel must submit a questionnaire two weeks in advance for overview and approval from the Hazardous Materials Containment Liaison (HMCL), and must undergo a monitoring period of 28 days after interviewing has finished, during which they will be cycled off-site until any desire to reenter SCP-2110 has worn off. All new information about any cases regarding individuals whose appearances match SCP-2110-1 are to be suppressed, and the current status of these cases is to be maintained. Description: SCP-2110 is a two-story gingerbread cottage1 in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts, built in 18██. There is no recorded history of habitation, and it is unknown when its anomalous properties manifested. Observing the inside of the cottage via remote-controlled rover shows that the cottage is abandoned and in disrepair. When trying to look in through the windows on the first floor, the view is completely obscured by various objects such as curtains or furniture. Windows on the second floor appear to be blocked in a similar manner as the first. Whenever a subject enters SCP-2110, the inside of the cottage will be completely furnished and repaired, with furnishings and appliances matching architecture styles commonly used in the current time period. There are no electronic appliances in the household. SCP-2110-1 appears in the dining area and kitchen when SCP-2110 is entered, with food present in the dining area. All furnishings, appliances, and food can be removed from the home, although the next time a person enters the cottage, the items will have been replaced. All objects and food taken from SCP-2110 have been found to be non-anomalous. Shortly after the subject enters SCP-2110, SCP-2110-1 will welcome them, as well as invite the subject over to the dining area to eat dinner with them, regardless of time of entry. SCP-2110-1 is a designation given to 7 individuals who appear in the cottage once a person enters. All individuals except SCP-2110-1-A are similar in appearance to people reported missing between 18██ and 20██ and all last seen on Martha's Vineyard2. Interviews with them have shown that they all act in a familial structure, with age and gender determining the familial role of each individual. Explanations as to how SCP-2110-1 arrived on Martha's Vineyard have not been given. However, with the exception of SCP-2110-1-A, all have either lived on Martha's Vineyard at some point in their lives, or have had friends or immediate family who have lived there for more than five consecutive years. SCP-2110-1 is aware of any technological or social advances in the public world, regardless of any conversation with them on the matter. SCP-2110-1-A ("Father"): White, birthplace unknown, mid-50's, 1.9 m tall. The only individual in the group who does not match any known missing persons case. SCP-2110-1-B ("Mother"): Wampanoag, born in Massachusetts, late-60's, 1.7 m tall. Matches missing persons case from 18██ from the town of ██████████, Massachusetts. SCP-2110-1-C ("Uncle"): Afro-Brazilian, born in Rio de Janeiro, late-40's, 2 m tall. Matches missing persons case from 19██ from ███████████, Massachusetts. Interviews with witnesses and subjects have reported that SCP-2110-1-C is unable to communicate verbally, and speaks solely in Brazilian Sign Language, with SCP-2110-1-F giving translations. SCP-2110-1-D - E ("Aunt and Nephew"): Brazilian, born in Massachusetts, mid-30's and 11, 1.65 m and 1.4 m. Matches missing persons case from 20██ from ██████, Massachusetts. SCP-2110-1-F ("Son"): Brazilian, born in Massachusetts, 20, 1.6 m. Matches missing persons case from 20██ from the town of ████████, Massachusetts. SCP-2110-1-G ("Daughter"): White, born in ████, 21, 1.55 m. Formerly D-9350, used for testing the anomalous properties of SCP-2110 in order to artificially create a new instance of SCP-2110-1. Although the subject may leave of their own free will, they will usually accept SCP-2110-1's offer to eat with them. As the subject eats, they will report feeling at ease and comfortable with SCP-2110-1. During this time, SCP-2110-1 will be willing to answer questions. After leaving, the subject will express a desire to revisit SCP-2110. This will last for a time period of three days to 28 days. The subject can resist visiting SCP-2110 as time goes on and the desire to revisit wears off. However, the more times they visit SCP-2110, the stronger their urge will be. Class-A amnestics have been shown to successfully wipe any memories of SCP-2110. As the subject visits SCP-2110 more, they will report a closer bond to SCP-2110-1, relating personal history and stories about family to them at the request of SCP-2110-1, as well as speaking more casually and openly. After two to six visits, subjects who are American-born, Brazilian-born, or belong to the Wampanoag tribe will be invited to sleep on the second story of the cottage. According to interviews with SCP-2110-1, no one has declined this offer. When the subject goes to sleep on the second floor, regardless of any external influence or commands to exit the area, all video and audio feed will cut off and all contact will be lost with the subject. The next time someone enters SCP-2110, the subject will have become another instance of SCP-2110-1. Despite these effects shown across all test subjects, SCP-2110-1 has been known to only invite subjects who are American-born, Brazilian-born, or belong to the Wampanoag tribe to sleep the night in SCP-2110.3 SCP-2110-1 claims to have not invited anyone else. Addendum 2110-A: SCP-2110 was discovered following a gradual increase of missing person reports on Martha's Vineyard, with a direct correlation of rumors of a haunted house featuring entities similar to said missing persons. After interviewing eyewitnesses exposed to SCP-21104, its basic effects were understood. There were six instances of SCP-2110-1 at the time of initial containment and subsequent testing. Although interviews with eyewitnesses revealed a familial structure in SCP-2110-1, SCP-2110-1 individuals were not forthcoming in explaining their relationship or their individual time of joining to SCP-2110. Only testing and interviews done with SCP-2110-1 have provided answers. + Interview Log 2110-Gamma-A - Interview Log 2110-Gamma-A Interviewed: SCP-2110-1 Interviewer: D-9350 Foreword: D-9350 has been outfitted with audio and video feed in order to interview SCP-2110-1 and to prevent SCP-2110 from affecting any Foundation personnel. All questions had been picked by Researcher Aquina and Supervisor Santiago, located in a nearby building for monitoring. As this was D-9350's first interview with SCP-2110, D-9350 was given relevant information on SCP-2110 in order to conduct the interview, and had been ordered not to answer any questions posed by SCP-2110-1 or to veer off-script unless ordered to by supervising personnel. <Begin Log, 21:32> [D-9350 sits with the rest of SCP-2110-1 to eat dinner. After joining them in a prayer with the insistence of SCP-2110-1 and the approval of supervising agents, D-9350 begins to speak.] D-9350: So, uh… which of you are the parents in this family? SCP-2110-1-A: Ah, I am this family's father. And my faithful wife (SCP-2110-1-A gestures to SCP-2110-1-B on its right) is their mother. How long have we been together now, dear? SCP-2110-1-B: Hmm… I'd say around 1██ years now. Our marriage really has stuck together for all this time, hasn't it? D-9350: 1██ years? How old are you two then? SCP-2110-1-A: It's gotten harder and harder to recall now.. I'm in my mid-50's, and ██████ is in her late-60's. God has certainly blessed us to keep our union together, hasn't He? SCP-2110-1-B: My, He has. SCP-2110-1-E: Mamãe, papai, a gente não sabe de onde ela veio! D-9350: What'd he say? SCP-2110-1-D: He's asking where you came from. I'd like to know too, you look like you came out of prison. SCP-2110-1-A: Now now, sister, we mustn't turn one away because of past sins. Don't you remember 2 Peter 3:9? [SUPERFLUOUS DATA OMITTED] D-9350: Never had it any easier after that, y'know? It was the first time I landed in trouble at high school, and my parents weren't uh… weren't that pleased. I did get pretty strictly punished. [SCP-2110-1-C communicates, with SCP-2110-1-F giving a translation.] SCP-2110-1-F: "But the punishment was meant to show their love for you, correct?" D-9350: I've always doubted it. SCP-2110-1-E: Foi tão ruim assim? D-9350: Huh? SCP-2110-1-D: "Was it that bad?" D-9350: Well, I don't know if- [At this point, personnel order D-9350 to stop speaking about her criminal record and leave SCP-2110 to conclude the interview. D-9350 finishes eating and announces her leave. As SCP-2110-1 exchange goodbyes with D-9350, SCP-2110-1-F approaches her.] SCP-2110-1-F: Goodbye, child. It was wonderful to have you here. We all hope you come again soon. God is with you, always. <End Log, 22:05> Closing Statement: In a post-interview analysis, D-9350 reported feeling slightly "elated" and "not so bad", expressing a desire to communicate with SCP-2110-1. D-9350 was then withheld from visiting SCP-2110 for a period of six days, after which she no longer expressed any intention of re-entering. - Interview Log 2110-Gamma-A + Interview Log 2110-Gamma-D - Interview Log 2110-Gamma-D Interviewed: SCP-2110-1 Interviewer: D-9350 Foreword: D-9350 has been outfitted with the same setup as last time, and was told to talk naturally with SCP-2110-1 to study its conversation habits if not questioned or interviewed. Specifically, D-9350 was asked to continue divulging information from the previous interview in order to test SCP-2110-1's reactions. <Begin Log, 22:50> [D-9350 sits with the rest of SCP-2110-1 to eat dinner, joining them in the same prayer as the previous interviews without waiting for approval from observing agents. Shortly after, the meal commences.] SCP-2110-1-E: Você parece nervosa! SCP-2110-1-D: ███████! Olha o que você diz! D-9350: What did he say? SCP-2110-1-B: It's alright, dear. I'm sure the nephew meant no harm in his statement. He simply remarked that you looked nervous. SCP-2110-1-F: Ah, yes. █████, you were mentioning something about yourself the last time you had come over. Did you want to keep talking about it? SCP-2110-1-A: Would you like more pasta on your plate? D-9350: No, thank you. I'm fine with that. Anyway, I would like to keep sharing. It's kind of something that made me nervous to share, though, given how religious you all are. SCP-2110-1-A: We have always been taught, as well as teach others, to love all of His children regardless of their history and to accept them into our homes. Speak freely. [Most SCP-2110-1 turn to look at D-9350 and listen, with SCP-2110-1-D and SCP-2110-1-E still eating.] D-9350: Well… when I was 16, I felt conflicted about myself and who I was in life. So I went online and found groups that I could talk to, right? [SUPERFLUOUS DATA OMITTED] SCP-2110-1-D: But he is a sinner! How could you say that God would accept that kind of sin into His kingdom? I knew that █████ was a delinquent from the moment he entered. SCP-2110-1-B: Now, now, why should we turn away someone because of that? SCP-2110-1-F: ███ wants to ask something. "Wouldn't this corrupt us with his sin?" SCP-2110-1-E: Mamãe, do que vocês estão falando? SCP-2110-1-D: Nada de importante, querida. SCP-2110-1-A: Everyone, please, calm down so I can speak… SCP-2110-1-D: But father, we've never had to deal with anything like this before. What if it ruins our family? I don't want my child to grow up every day with someone like- SCP-2110-1-A: It is important for the nephew to grow up every day with her. We have learned to love and accept those we come into contact with, regardless of how we perceive them or their sins. Should we not do the same for her as we have done for others? [All SCP-2110-1 stops talking for 22 seconds, looking at one another and D-9350. After that, SCP-2110-1-A turns to face D-9350.] SCP-2110-1-A: Would you like to spend the night with us? I apologize for this behavior you have witnessed, but I can assure that you will be safe here. I believe everyone will come to accept you as I have. Do you need some time to think? [SUPERFLUOUS DATA OMITTED] D-9350: I've caused trouble here as well, right? SCP-2110-1-F: Then we will learn to adapt. Though you haven't caused trouble to begin with, I'm sure you won't cause anymore in the future for us. SCP-2110-1-D: Only if you're sure he won't. <End Log, 00:13> Closing Statement: At this point, Researcher Aquina and Supervisor Santiago told D-9350 to accept SCP-2110-1's offer. Shortly after D-9350 followed SCP-2110-1-A up to the second floor, all visual and audio feed was cut and no response from D-9350 was heard before recordings stopped 10 minutes later. - Interview Log 2110-Gamma-D + Interview Log 2110-Gamma-E - Interview Log 2110-Gamma-E Interviewed: SCP-2110-1 Interviewer: Agent Hertz Foreword: After four weeks without any contact from D-9350, Agent Hertz, under monitoring by Researcher Aquina and Supervisor Santiago, was sent to interview SCP-2110-1 four weeks after the previous interview. Specifically, D-9350 (hereafter referred to as SCP-2110-1-G) was chosen to be the main interviewee in order to learn more about the conversion process. Agent Hertz was chosen due to being German-born, and was briefed on both SCP-2110's effects as well as being cleared for all previous interviews and logs. Agent Hertz was asked to answer questions posed by SCP-2110-1 as needed, but not to divulge information about his background or history at any point. <Begin Log, 16:42> [Agent Hertz enters SCP-2110, after which all SCP-2110-1 instances manifest. The only notable difference is the introduction of a new instance, SCP-2110-1-G, who calls over to Hertz and invites him to eat. After accepting the offer and sitting at the table to join the rest of the rest of SCP-2110-1, everyone but Hertz gets into praying position.] SCP-2110-1-A: Is something wrong? Don't you want to pray with the rest of us? Agent Hertz: No thanks. I'm not exactly the religious type. SCP-2110-1-G: Oh, that's alright. I'm not exactly either. I don't usually pray anyway, but this is a special case with someone new joining us for dinner! Agent Hertz: So you'd say you don't believe in God? SCP-2110-1-G: Not quite… I guess I'd believe in Him. Are you still sure? The prayer is simple, enough for the both of us to be able to recite it with ease anyhow. "Our Lord in Heaven…" Agent Hertz: Can you tell me what happened four weeks ago, when you were asked to sleep here? [At this point, SCP-2110-1-G pauses and looks up to the ceiling for two minutes, as the rest of the group continues the prayer without it, before saying "Amen" with the rest of the group and turning back to Hertz.] SCP-2110-1-G: Have you ever had a religious experience before? Like, a near-death experience and you can see the afterlife, or in church or by yourself and hearing someone… big speak? Agent Hertz: I'm afraid I can't really answer that. SCP-2110-1-G: So no? You haven't gone to church even once as a kid? Agent Hertz: I'm not at liberty to discuss information about my background. SCP-2110-1-G: It's hard to explain it then. I was sleeping, and I just woke up in the middle of the night. I could just hear someone speaking, but when I went to check, everyone else was fast asleep. So I went back to my room to sleep and then again when I was asleep, I could hear someone speak. I woke up and in front of me was this… thing. I'm still not sure exactly. Agent Hertz: Was it a humanoid? SCP-2110-1-G: Yeah. It was huge as well, and shining so bright I could barely make it out… SCP-2110-1-B: Sounds like an angel to me, my daughter. SCP-2110-1-G: Right, that'd explain it. I just laid in awe, and I thought I could hear it say something. I can't remember what it said, or why it was there. SCP-2110-1-F: A blessing? SCP-2110-1-G: I'm not sure… I was pretty tired that night when I went to visit, and mentally drained from all the fighting people were doing over me. Maybe I just imagined it? Agent Hertz: Why did you not leave the next day then? SCP-2110-1-G: Well that's another thing… haven't you ever felt scared as you grew up, or gone through some bad experiences? Agent Hertz: Again, I'm not at liberty to- SCP-2110-1-G: You probably wouldn't really understand if you haven't then. Finding a place where you'd be welcomed and cared for… that's something anyone would want, right? <End Log, 16:56> Closing Statement: Agent Hertz proceeded to end the interview shortly thereafter. - Interview Log 2110-Gamma-E Footnotes 1.

SCP-2112 | keter | Item #: SCP-2112 Special Containment Procedures: Due to its cultural significance and the period of time elapsed between its creation and the discovery of SCP-2112, full eradication of SCP-2112's primary carrier is impossible at this time. The Foundation shall liaise with the management of Rush and with any relevant record labels to prevent any future production of SCP-2112-carrying sound recordings. All known sound recordings carrying SCP-2112 are to be seized by the Foundation and archived or destroyed as deemed necessary, and information regarding the release of affected editions is to be removed from public information archives where possible. Foundation field personnel are to monitor stores selling used LPs or compact discs, online auction houses and used goods sellers, and digital distribution services for any appearance of SCP-2112 carriers. The Foundation shall monitor all public performances by bands advertising themselves with any variation on the phrase "A Tribute to Rush", or with a name referencing the lyrics of any Rush song, for evidence of SCP-2112 infection. Any identified SCP-2112 infectees are to be detained, interviewed to identify the source of infection, and treated with Class-B amnestics. In the event of a wide-spread outbreak of SCP-2112, large-scale deployment of Class-E amnestics is authorized. Personnel with an expressed fondness for the music of Rush are prohibited from exposure to SCP-2112 materials and are to be monitored for any behavior indicative of SCP-2112 infection. Description: SCP-2112 is a memetic phenomenon associated with Caress of Steel, a record album released in 1975 by the Canadian progressive rock band Rush. SCP-2112 is not present on the original master recordings or on most common commercial releases of the album, and is known to manifest only on three limited-release editions: a quadraphonic mix of the original LP issued in 1975, a digital remaster issued on SACD in 1999, and a high-fidelity remaster issued on LP in 2011. Reproductions or copies of affected discs do not produce SCP-2112 phenomena, and audial examination of affected discs has detected no distinguishable differences from non-anomalous recordings other than artifacts caused by the remixing/remastering process. SCP-2112's primary anomalous effect manifests when an affected disc is listened to, in its entirety, by a person who identifies him/herself as a fan of the music of Rush and possesses any level of experience in playing the electric guitar, electric bass, or drums. Exposed individuals will become obsessed with the idea of establishing a "tribute band" dedicated to performing cover versions of the music of Rush in public, regardless of their level of musical experience or current occupation or membership in other bands, and will attempt to seek out two other SCP-2112 infectees for that purpose. SCP-2112 infectees have been noted to go to any lengths available to achieve this goal, including resigning from their job, relocating to another part of the world, selling off major possessions in order to acquire instruments or equipment, or deliberately exposing others to SCP-2112 in an attempt to create potential bandmates. In the event that three infectees are successful in establishing a group, they will begin to seek out any venue that will allow them to perform in public and will do so as often as possible, performing sets composed entirely of the music of Rush in their original arrangements. The music produced by SCP-2112 infectees during live performances additionally serves to propagate SCP-2112 to any persons exposed to it. In this form, transmission of SCP-2112 occurs much more readily than in persons exposed to the source discs, with any person who identifies as a fan of the music of Rush potentially becoming infected, whether or not they possess any musical skill, after approximately 15-20 minutes of exposure. Testing with D-Class personnel indicated that even individuals with no prior familiarity with Rush and only a rudimentary level of skill with any musical instrument have a 70% chance of becoming infected after approximately 2 hours of exposure to live performances by SCP-2112 infectees. Post-infection behavior in such individuals is identical to that of persons infected by exposure to the source discs. SCP-2112 came to the Foundation's attention on ██/██/1982, when an hour-long nightly news broadcast produced by television station W███ in Portland, ME was observed to consist entirely of three of the network's broadcast personnel, identifying themselves as "By-Tor and the Snow Dogs", performing a live rendition of Rush's 1981 album Moving Pictures. The overwhelming majority of commercials aired during the broadcast, rather than advertising any product or service, additionally portrayed various local businessmen and politicians performing fragments of Rush songs with varying degrees of skill. Upon investigation, it was found that a performance by a trio of infectees, broadcast on local radio station W███ five days earlier, had caused a rapid spread of SCP-2112 infection throughout the Portland metro area, and that approximately 73% of the region's live music venues had booked Rush tribute bands to perform the following night. Implementation of Procedure Wertham-673, followed by aerial dispersal of Class-E amnestics throughout the area, was deemed necessary to prevent further spread; current models indicate that, in the event of an unchecked SCP-2112 outbreak, the phenomenon would reach pandemic status within three weeks of the formation of the first tribute band. The members of Rush, in interviews conducted by the Foundation, have claimed no knowledge of or involvement in the creation of SCP-2112. Addendum: Memo From Project Research Manager Edvalds Some have questioned why SCP-2112 warrants classification as Keter. It is true that SCP-2112 poses no direct threat to human life or the continued existence of the human race; were every person susceptible to SCP-2112 infection to be infected, it would likely not result in a single fatality. What it does present, however, is a severe existential threat to the entirety of human culture, the arts, and all forms of creative work whatsoever. Man is a wonderfully creative animal and has developed a myriad of ways of expressing his thoughts and emotions - through poetry, dance, film, the written word, theatre, painting, sculpture, video games, even internet memes. We run the risk of every one of these mediums - every single last one of them - disappearing from our common experience, forever, in favor of thousands and millions of mediocre everymen performing the exact same songs over and over again. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2112" by Smapti, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2113 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2113 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2113 is stored on a raised platform in custom Underground Containment Chamber B-08 at Bio-Site 66. Underground Containment Chamber B-08 is accessed through two entrances; corridor B-08, accessed via floor B2 of Site-66’s main building, or via elevator installed in Outbuilding A-11, which was constructed on the surface above the chamber. Corridor B-08 extends directly from the main building to UCC B-08, and allows for uninterrupted travel directly to the observation lab. UCC B-08 measures 10 metres to each side and is situated at a depth of 90 metres underground. The observation lab sits at 5 metres above the floor level of the chamber, with a glass wall permitting observation of the item and entity. SCP-2113-01 appears to be restricted to the immediate area around SCP-2113. It may occasionally pass through physical barriers in its containment, but a breach has been deemed highly unlikely at this time. Description: SCP-2113 is the collective fragments of an incomplete fossilized skull, identified as belonging to a member of the species Liopleurodon ferox, an aquatic pliosaurid apex predator that existed during the Jurassic period. The specimen was recovered in a damaged state, with a majority of fossil fragments embedded in a stone matrix with a combined weight of 133 kilograms. The remainder of the skeleton could not be located during SCP-2113’s excavation, despite efforts by paleontological teams scouring the area over eight months following initial recovery. SCP-2113-01 is a large, insubstantial entity measuring six to eight metres long, closely associated with SCP-2113. It is actively mobile and faintly luminescent, with an oblong shape that tapers to a blunt point near its front. Its behavior is erratic; while normally relatively docile, the entity has repeatedly displayed outbursts of violent activity resulting in mild telekinetic activity and electromagnetic disturbance throughout Site 66. SCP-2113-01 has not yet proven capable of physically manipulating its surroundings in a direct manner. Mental Effects: When in a docile state and approached by a human, SCP-2113-01 will vanish and not reappear until a period of time has passed, usually lasting between four and nine hours. Mild electromagnetic activity and temperature changes will often occur in the general vicinity of SCP-2113-01's most recent location, the occurrence of which is inconsistent between events. These disappearances are not considered to be containment breaches, due to the entity’s predictability in remaining near SCP-2113. Sporadically, SCP-2113-01 will become aggressive towards living biological entities approaching its containment. When in an aggressive state, SCP-2113-01 will remain suspended still in the air for periods of twenty minutes to two hours at a time, moving rapidly to ‘bite’ prey targets that it detects within ten metres of its location. Due to its non-physical nature, SCP-2113-01 has in the past shown capable of moving through physical barriers to reach its targets. It has never been seen to travel more than 100 metres from SCP-2113. Targets 'bitten' by SCP-2113-01 report immediate visual, aural, and tactile hallucinations, which typically last for a period of fifteen to twenty minutes. Additionally, they often experience severe depersonalization and dysphoria, which fade over the course of seven to twelve days. Victims are usually rendered near-catatonic for the duration of this initial effect. Experiences are relatively consistent between victims, with a majority reporting that they found themselves existing as a large animal (presumably Liopleurodon ferox) within a warm aquatic environment. Various activities have been reported, including, but not restricted to, hunting, territorial disputes with other large predatory fauna, and intentional beaching for an unknown reason; individuals with no prior knowledge of Jurassic ecology have accurately described the appearance of various flora and fauna appearing in their particular hallucinations. Victims of this hallucinatory effect universally describe a visceral disconnect from their self, and how they feel as if they are the animal through which these hallucinations are experienced. In most cases, victims in the early stages of recovery exhibit profound confusion and lack of coordination. Rehabilitation is gradual but usually successful, with all past victims of this effect having reached a full recovery within sixty days after the encounter. Interviewees have vividly described the instinctive nature of the experiences, as well as specific physical and emotional sensations consistent across events. Atypical Incident - ██/██/████: On ██/██/████, SCP-2113-01 passed through the bulkhead of the observation lab and attacked Researcher Grier before vanishing for seventy three minutes. Mr Grier was rendered unconscious and could not be roused for two hours sixteen minutes, at which point he became conscious but catatonic. He was put under secure observation for several days, during which he lapsed into brief periods of unconsciousness at irregular intervals. Eleven days after the initial attack, he regained a measure of lucidity, and promptly volunteered an account of his experience. A transcribed log will not be provided here, due to the length and disorganized nature of his account. Researcher Grier's experience was markedly divergent from the established pattern. While initially set underwater and through the eyes of the animal (as expected), he proceeded to describe a vague event, in which the 'water [was] singing and cracking' and that his 'bones were… scraped off'. He then described in detail a series of sensations throughout his body, as it was buried by sediment and remained in place for 'an impossible [length of] time' and that he 'was there until after the desert (?) was gone'. It is believed that these sensations (described, among other things, as 'hardening' or a 'hard numb', enunciation was unclear) corresponded to the fossilization process that led to the creation of SCP-2113. The nature of the other described event involving 'singing and breaking/cracking water' is as of yet unknown, but is hypothesized to have contributed to the creation of SCP-2113-01. Approximately forty minutes after returning to consciousness, Researcher Grier underwent cardiac arrest brought on by persistent exhaustion and physiological stress. No other victim of SCP-2113-01's effect has undergone an event like his. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-2113" by Dexanote, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-2114 | euclid | Item #: SCP-2114 Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-2114 are to be housed in one of four standard terrariums in a soundproofed, BC-L1 room, equipped with an airtight door seal. Terrariums are to be maintained as per standard for domestic rats, with a layer of pine shavings (cleaned weekly), a water bottle (changed daily), an exercise wheel, and standard toys for pet rats. Diet is to be standard nutritional pellets for rodents. All feeding and maintenance is to be carried out by hand; under no circumstances are automated feeding devices to be used. In the event that the number of instances of SCP-2114 exceeds thirty (30) individuals, excess instance are to be euthanized and their remains incinerated. Any wild instances of SCP-2114 are to be destroyed. Male and female instances are to be kept strictly quarantined from each other except in the case of approved testing. Offspring of the original instances possess the same anomalous traits as their parents. All tests involving SCP-2114 are to take place in rooms sealed from the outside; said testing rooms are not to be unsealed until all instances are contained or destroyed. Description: SCP-2114 is the designation for a colony of Rattus norvegicus originally discovered in a laboratory in ██████████, ██, in 20██. They were acquired by Foundation agents pursuing reports of anomalous radio activity and an outbreak of auditory hallucinations. The laboratory in question appeared to have been abandoned for less than █ days. Investigation revealed that the laboratory was owned by █████████ Incorporated, but company agents denied all knowledge of the location and its contents. The laboratory appeared to have been hastily stripped of all identifying material and much of its equipment. All of the remaining equipment was in a state of disrepair, as if it had been partially disassembled and/or destroyed. For a full list, see Document 2114-A When found, only █ instances of SCP-2114 were alive, along with the material remains of █ additional instances. All the instances were dyed with a two-digit number on the back, from ██ to ██ inclusive and ██ to ██ inclusive; this suggests at least ██ instances remain unaccounted for. Instances of SCP-2114 appear physically identical to the common white laboratory rat, and display normal behavior for their species. Examination has revealed no anomalous anatomical features, although slightly elevated levels of acetylcholine were present. It is assumed that SCP-2114 is cross-fertile with non-anomalous rats, but it is unknown whether their anomalous properties would be passed on to any offspring; testing is pending approval of the Site Director. When introduced to any sort of mechanism with complex moving parts, all instance will begin to examine it via vision, taste, and touch, including paws and vibrissae. After an "examination period" of 5-10 minutes, the instances will proceed to disassemble the mechanism, unscrewing screws and bolts, prying apart casings, disconnecting wires, and otherwise undoing all connections. SCP-2114 has been observed to use the minimum amount of force necessary to disassemble the target mechanism, and damage to the mechanism is rare and usually minor. Instances of SCP-2114 will cooperate to disassemble the target mechanism, displaying unusual levels of coordination, thus enabling them to manipulate objects too large and complex for a single rat. If SCP-2114 finds themselves unable to effectively disassemble a mechanism, they may attempt minor, controlled damage; for example, soldered wires will be bitten through, and glued seams may be gnawed. In such cases, SCP-2114 appears to focus on gaining access to all the significant areas of the mechanism as opposed to complete disassembly. Once the target mechanism has been disassembled, all present instances of SCP-2114 will examine the individual components with noses, paws, tongues and vibrissae, passing them back and forth among each other. This second "examination period" is usually of similar length to the initial 5-10 minute period, though it may be longer in the case of larger mechanisms. Once the secondary examination period has been completed, SCP-2114 will proceed to reassemble the target mechanism. As with the disassembly process, all present instances will work together to reattach wires, insert pegs, and otherwise return the mechanism to its original state. In cases where SCP-2114 is physically unable to return the mechanism to its original state, it will be made as close as possible; for example, soldered wires that have been bitten off will be bent so as to maintain contact with their original contact points. Once the target mechanism has been reassembled to the best of SCP-2114's ability, the collective instances will appear to lose interest and resume normal rodent behavior. + Test Log - Close Test Log Date: ██/██/20██ Test Mechanism: One electric clock-radio Test Subjects: Six (6) adult instances. Results: SCP-2114 disassembled, examined, and reassembled clock-radio. Clock-radio operated normally when plugged in. Total Elapsed Time: 43 minutes. Date: ██/██/20██ Test Mechanism: One electric clock-radio, which was struck by Agent Alexander with a wooden mallet until it ceased to function and showed significant damage to plastic housing. Test Subjects: Six (6) adult instances. Results: SCP-2114 examined, disassembled, and reassembled clock-radio. Damage to housing was not repaired, and broken fragments of housing were ignored. When plugged in, clock function operated normally, but radio would not receive any known stations. Instead, radio produced a high-pitched tone reminiscent of a theremin, which changed in pitch as different "stations" were selected. Further testing pending. Total Elapsed Time: 56 minutes. Date: ██/██/20██ Test Mechanism: One electric clock-radio, which had been disassembled into its component pieces. Test Subjects: Six (6) adult instances. Results: SCP-2114 examined and reassembled clock-radio, which operated normally when plugged in. Total Elapsed Time: 28 minutes. Date: ██/██/20██ Test Mechanism: Random assortment of components gleaned from one electric clock-radio, one nonfunctional cellular telephone, one electric space heater, and one coffee-maker. Test Subjects: Six (6) adult instances. Results: SCP-2114 examined components for an unusually long time [19 minutes] before proceeding to reassembly stage. Collective components were assembled into a single mechanism of unknown function. Approximately 75% of available components were used; remaining 25% were ignored after initial examination period. When powered, the mechanism produced a high-pitched whining sound but no other functions were apparent. Further testing pending. Total Elapsed Time: 46 minutes. Note: Researcher D██████ reported experiencing a sudden case of tinnitus during the final 9 minutes of this test. Date: ██/██/20██ Test Mechanism: One Nokia-brand cordless house telephone and one Hewlett-Packard-brand desktop printer, both disassembled and their components mixed together. Test Subjects: Six (6) adult instances. Results: SCP-2114 examined components for 37 minutes before commencing reassembly. Instances assembled available components into a single mechanism of unknown function. Approximately 85% of available components were used; remaining 15% were ignored after initial examination period. When powered, the mechanism produced a "pulsing" noise that quickly cycled up beyond the human hearing range. Further testing pending. Total Elapsed Time: 88 minutes. Note: Mild headaches and tinnitus reported by nearby staff within approximately 15 minutes of this test. Date: ██/██/20██ Test Mechanism: One Dell-brand laptop computer [nonfunctional due to faulty motherboard]. Test Subjects: Six (6) adult instances. Results: SCP-2114 examined, disassembled, and reassembled computer. Minor damage to housing noted due to gnawing required to gain access. When powered, computer operated normally. Total Elapsed Time: 67 minutes. Notes: How on earth did they do that? Date: ██/██/20██ Test Mechanism: 2003 red Volkswagon in "fair" condition.' Test Subjects: Twelve (12) adult instances. Results: SCP-2114 initially ignored vehicle, but after approximately 8 minutes, began exhibiting interest. Instances examined vehicle for 132 minutes before apparently losing interest again; however, after a brief pause for normal feeding, instances returned to vehicle and began disassembly. Per Agent Alexander's orders, standard food and water for SCP-2114 was provided and room was sealed. Test continued via video surveillance. After approximately 3 hours, vehicle was observed visibly "leaning" to one side, as if it had sustained damage to left front wheel. After 8 hours, vehicle was in a clear state of disassembly, with engine components scattered over the floor. After 17 hours, vehicle appeared completely disassembled save for body and frame. After 21 hours, instances were observed transporting components under the body of disassembled vehicle; assume reassembly has begun. After 26 hours, flashing red lights were visible through openings of vehicle body. After 30 hours, nearby individuals began reporting tinnitus, mild headaches, and one case of sudden nausea. Test ended, and all instances of SCP-2114 returned to normal habitats. A partially-assembled mechanism was found under the body of the vehicle, consisting of approximately 20% of available components excluding body and frame. Mechanism was powered by the vehicle's 12-volt battery. When power was removed, associated symptoms ceased. Further testing pending. Total Elapsed Time: 30 hours. + Test results classified - enter password to access - Access granted Date: ██/██/20██ Test Mechanism: One Dell brand laptop computer, one Sony brand stereo/CD player, assorted electronic components [see list]. Test Subjects: Six (6) adult instances. Results: SCP-2114 examined components and proceeded to disassemble computer and stereo. Instances examined all components for 23 minutes before commencing reassembly. Instances assembled components into a single mechanism of unknown function. Approximately 80% of available components used; remaining 20% were ignored after initial examination period. When powered1, nearby personnel reported tinnitus and mild headaches. Instances then appeared to lose interest in mechanism. When testing room was opened, all nearby personnel reported sudden, severe headaches, and Researcher B████ collapsed. Strong interference noted in electronic devices as far as ██ meters away, and personnel as far as ███ meters away reported auditory hallucinations, including "screaming," "a high-pitched whining sound" and "wailing." SCP-████ became agitated at this time, resulting in [REDACTED]. Agent Alexander entered the testing room and attempted without success to disengage the mechanism from its power supply. Failing this, Agent Alexander and Researcher Siemens physically assaulted the mechanism, knocking it on its side and doing significant damage, which ultimately disengaged the power supply. Headaches, electronic interference, and auditory hallucinations subsided within 5 minutes. Researcher B████ was taken to Medical, and pronounced dead on arrival of a severe stroke. Total Elapsed Time: 71 minutes. Note: Further testing suspended by order of Site Director Richardson pending review. Footnotes 1.
