SCP-3579	euclid	Item #: SCP-3579 Special Containment Procedures: Any physical instances of SCP-3579-1 are to be taken down by undercover Foundation personnel, disguised as working men and women. Any website hosting digital instances of SCP-3579-1 are to be remotely changed as to not feature SCP-3579-1. All calls to SCP-3579 are to be traced and ended if possible. Research of SCP-3579 is only to be conducted by Level 2 staff using a cell phone with the phone number of SCP-3579 on speed-dial, kept in storeroom 24 of Site-15. Description: SCP-3579 is a telephone operated service running under the name “Insta-Gator”, using the telephone number 1-800-███-████. At random intervals, advertisements featuring SCP-3579 will appear in major cities. These are identified as SCP-3579-1. Instances of SCP-3579-1 will feature the phone number associated with SCP-3579 and the tag line: "Need some help with a troublemaker? Wish you could just eliminate 'er? We'll be your problem solving crusader. Just call us at Insta-Gator!" When the number associated with SCP-3579 is called, a pre-recorded voice asks the caller to name a destination. When a valid destination is spoken into the phone, the pre-recorded message asks them to press a number on their phone to select an amount of alligators and a special request for an extra fee. When a number from one through nine is pressed, a corresponding amount of fully grown, live American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis), identified as SCP-3579-2 will enter the specified area through any body of water within 10 m of identified location, and attempt to fulfill the request. If no water is within the 10 m radius, a small puddle which expands to accommodate the amount of alligators will form. If nothing is requested, instances of SCP-3579-2 will remain hostile. After 10 minutes, any instance of SCP-3579-2 currently not in the water will attempt to return to the body of water, into which they will dematerialize. If the body of water was created by SCP-3579, it will dissipate into water vapour. Instances of SCP-3579-2 display various anomalies compared to regular American alligators. Instances of SCP-3579-2 are always male, exactly 4 metres long, and visually exact to any other instance of SCP-3579-2. If kept outside of a body of water for more that 5 minutes, instances of SCP-3579-2 will suffer myocardial infarction, causing them to cease life functions. Recent scans of the DNA of multiple instances of SCP-3579-2 concluded that each instance has identical genetic makeup. The location that SCP-3579 operates from is currently unknown. Test Log: Test 3579-01 Location chosen: ███████ Wetlands, Louisiana Amount requested: Six Objects present: None Special request: None Purpose: Initial test of the capabilities of SCP-3579 Result: Six instances of SCP-3579-2 violently thrashed out of the water in a tight circle and constantly leaped and attacked the air above them for ten minutes before returning to the water. Test 3579-02 Location chosen: Pond within Biological Research Site-104 Amount requested: Two Objects present: Two Class-D personnel. D-3579-01 standing next to the pond, and D-3579-02 standing 15 metres away. Special request: Attack the Class-D personnel. Purpose: Test if SCP-3579 can manifest instances of SCP-3579-2 in a closed environment as well as test SCP-3579-2's hostility towards humans. Result: Two instances of SCP-3579-2 crawled out of the pond. The first immediately attacked D-3579-01, while the second chased down D-3579-02 and attacked. Both instances of SCP-3579-2 killed their respective Class-D personnel and returned to the pond after ten minutes. Researcher's Note: Well, that was… gruesome. Remind me to keep that number secure. Ick. -Dr. L█████ Test 3579-03 Location chosen: 'Beside me' (Within a research laboratory in Site-15) Amount requested: One Objects present: A live pig. Special request: None Purpose: Test to see if SCP-3579-2 can manifest itself without a water source as well as its hostility towards animals. Result: A small puddle formed on the floor of the lab beside Dr. L█████. Despite the puddle not being deep at all, an instance of SCP-3579-2 emerged from it, with its body half submerged as it thrashed. It did not attempt to eat the pig. Researcher's Note: Seems these things won't actively hunt unless told to. -Dr. L█████ Test 3579-04 Location chosen: A bowl of water within a two-roomed research laboratory in Site-15 Amount requested: Three Objects present: A remotely closed door between the two rooms. Special request: Enter the second room. Purpose: Test SCP-3579-2's lifespan out of water. Result: Three instances of SCP-3579-2 dove from the bowl, two of which attacked the Class-D personnel standing near the doorway and later returned into the bowl. The third instance traversed to D-3579-05 and attacked them. The doorway was locked down while the instance of SCP-3579-2 was in the room without the bowl. After five minutes of being trapped, the instance of SCP-3579-2 suffered myocardial infarction and died. Test 3579-05 Location chosen: Within a research laboratory in Site-15 Amount requested: One Objects present: A clipboard with a research notes page placed on the ground, SCP-1161 left open in a display case. Special request: Research SCP-1161. Purpose: See if SCP-3579-2 has non-destructive purposes. Result: A sink within the lab turned itself on, filling with water. A single instance of SCP-3579-2 climbed out, and calmly crawled towards the clipboard and SCP-1161. After being hunched over the clipboard for about 4 minutes, the instance of SCP-3579-2 climbed back into the sink. The clipboard was filled out, in scrawny handwriting. Clipboard Filled out by SCP-3579-2 ACCESS GRANTED Name: instent algator Researching: scp one one six one Observations: had werds 'how to build a shelf' and instructshuns on how to bild one. The rest of the document is blank. Researcher's Note: Huh, this could have a somewhat useful purpose. -Dr. L█████ Test 3579-06 Location chosen: Surface of Lunar Area-32 Amount requested: One Objects present: None Special Request: None Purpose: [REDACTED] Result: A small puddle of liquid water formed on the lunar surface, and one instance of SCP-3579-2 leaped from it, immediately suffocating due to the vacuum of space. The puddle dissipated without SCP-3579-2 returning to it.

SCP-3580	keter	SCP-3580 - Honor In Blood G'day. I said last time that my next skip would reach 10,000 words. Here's 11,000. Welcome to Honor In Blood, after nine years in development, hopefully, it will have been worth the wait. Thanks and have fun! My deepest appreciation to: DrSoot77 Doctor Levi Starkin StrangerSwing And especially Jiwoahn For taking a look at this massive project! ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} by Roufhous Item#: 3580 Level4 Secondary Class: uncontained Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: critical link to memo Assigned Site Site Director Research Head Assigned Task Force Area-55 Interim Dir. Samuel McManus Sr. Adelaine Pepper Nu-7 ("Hammer Down") Special Containment Procedures: Investigations into GOI-850 are ongoing and are headed by Project Labyrinth personnel. Due to its extremely hazardous capabilities, SCP-3580 is not to be confronted by personnel. Attempts to capture it are to be conducted solely by specialized operatives. Unrelated or standard Mobile Task Force units are not advised for deployment against SCP-3580. No less than two Nu-7 units are to be immediately dispatched for appearances of SCP-3580. Disinformation campaigns have been initiated to conceal the nature of the Türkiye incident. Attempts at neutralizing or minimizing the ongoing conflict between Germany and Türkiye are underway. Locating SCP-3580, as well as other members of GOI-850, has been deemed Priority Level BETA. Description: Damaged right-arm prosthesis dropped by SCP-3580. SCP-3580 denotes a feminine humanoid entity belonging to GOI-850 ("Order of the Archine Eclipse").A secretive organization dedicated to collecting and harboring items of importance in anomalous history. All known members are highly dangerous and possess various anomalous traits.. Physically, SCP-3580 is 190 cm in height with tied black hair reaching down to its waist. Missing both its arms, SCP-3580 utilizes thaumaturgically enhanced prosthetics. The entity's ethnicity is unknown. While interactions with SCP-3580 have been scarce, it is known that it possesses incredible proficiency in close-quarters combat, specializing in the usage of edged weapons. It is also capable of moving and reacting at rapid speeds, with one instance displaying an estimated 65 km/h. In addition, it has been found that SCP-3580 possesses an advanced degree of expertise in combat-related areas of thaumaturgy, utilizing these skills for primarily defensive purposes during observed conflicts. It has been found through recovered correspondence that SCP-3580 is regarded as "Inquisitor Proxima Ramexe" among GOI-850 members. SCP-3580-A is a humanoid entity, measuring roughly 400cm in height, belonging to GOI-850. Physically, SCP-3580-A possesses thick wrapping around its entire body with metallic plates placed around the shoulders, shins, thighs, forearms, back, neck, jaw, and head. Its left arm has been replaced by a mounted sextuple-barreled Gatling gun of an unknown model, with built-in ammunition reserves along its figure. SCP-3580, alongside SCP-3580-A, has engaged in multiple raids on Foundation sites, leading to various numbers of casualties while stealing artifacts and documents, or releasing persons of interest. Contact with other under-the-Veil agencies has reported few but several occasions of being attacked or approached by, SCP-3580, SCP-3580-A, or other members of GOI-850. Discovery: SCP-3580 was first observed on 18/2/1971 during a raid on Site-41 which resulted in the deaths of fourteen personnel. One person in this group was the Site Director, Malkin Fallen, who refused SCP-3580's demands for him to open containment cells on the lower floors as Mobile Task Force operatives moved in. When the incident concluded, several anomalous items were found to have been stolen, and an open terminal with level-3 submitted clearance entered was discovered. The terminal had been used to access all available topics relating to GOI-850, certain anomalies, and a brief attempt to uncover the location of Area-55 - the base of operations for Project Labyrinth investigations. This attempt was unsuccessful. Near the end of the incident, multiple MTFs were deployed to Site-41, including Nu-7 ("Hammer Down") and Epsilon 11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox"). However, they proved ineffective at stopping SCP-3580, resulting in its escape and subsequent disappearance. That same year, SCP-3580-A was first observed during the failed detainment of POI-9112 ."Kevin Gibson", an identified affiliate of GOI-850. Wanted for human trafficking.. During that incident, SCP-3580-A intervened, killing four operatives and injuring the fifth before proceeding to terminate POI-9112. Before it fled, SCP-3580-A interacted with the fifth agent - Agent Mortimer Woodlock. A transcript of the after-action report has been provided below. Internal log - Woodlock and Riley dialogue Agent Woodlock and Senior Researcher Jackie Riley are seated in an interview room. Riley: How're ya holding up, Morty? Woodlock: I've been better. Riley: Mm. I'm really, really sorry for what happened. I'm sure your team would be glad to know you survived. Woodlock: It's just a part of the job. Come on, Jacks, you brought me here for a sob story or what? Riley: Right. We wanted to know the specifics of what went on, on the twenty-first. What went wrong, what was that thing, just what happened? Woodlock adjusts himself in his chair. Woodlock: Well, it was all going smoothly. Got the bastard up in cuffs at his home and we were fixing to leave. To be honest, for all he did, just being held in a cell didn't seem like justice to me. Riley: What would have been justice, then? Woodlock: Careful what you wish for played a bit in my mind after the fact. Riley: Mm. Woodlock: So we'd just cuffed him up and we were just about to move out. Suddenly, Kamsky starts shouting in the back. Says "Get down!"… I don't think he was alive by the time he hit the deck. Woodlock briefly pauses before continuing. Woodlock: Bullets start spraying everywhere. Kamsky went first, then Rodriguez… Allison… and the Captain. Was lucky I got behind cover in the kitchen, so I grab Gibson and pull him down with me. Even luckier I only got nicked. Riley: I wouldn't say almost losing your leg was a "nick". Woodlock leans forward with his elbow on his injured knee. Woodlock: Sure, Jacks. Sure. Riley: Sorry. Woodlock: Now, as I was saying, I'm holding this idiot and he's screaming bloody murder. Of course, I can barely hear him since I didn't have my hearing protection in, and the gun show just started about twenty feet away. Woodlock: But even while Gibson's crying like a baby, I could feel something - a rumbling. There was a shadow on the wall, and it was coming towards us. I could barely move, so I crawl over to hide behind the kitchen counter. I try to drag Gibson with me, but - too late. He gets picked up. Woodlock: I look up and see this huge hulking thing standing there, hoisting Gibson by the neck. It's gigantic - has to get down on one knee just to fit in the room. Covered in what looked like roughed-up armor. Knight shit. It had these, these glowing green eyes that shot through the thing's mask. And a great big gun on one of its arms. He leans back. Woodlock: So it holds Gibson up and looks him in the eye. I can't hear what it says, and it looked like Gibson was just begging for his life. All I see after is a quick movement, just some shadows and a dust cloud falls from the wall. Gibson's brains are splattered everywhere, and his body falls backward from up on top the kitchen sink. Woodlock: So I try to scoot away. I'm losing a lot of blood, so I try to treat it at the same time. I'm panicking - not thinking straight. Then it noticed me. His fists clench. Woodlock: It nudges over and looms over me. My ears start to clear, and I can hear it speaking. Riley: What did it say? Woodlock: Couldn't make out exactly what, but it did say something along the lines of an apology. I tried to raise my gun - big fucking mistake. Woodlock: I take a shot at its face, it clocks me so hard in the arm the pistol goes flying and my hand feels twelve types of broken. He raises his right arm, showcasing the cast. Woodlock: It stands up and glares down at me with those cold eyes. It just stood there for like a minute, watching me writhing before it decided I wasn't worth it. I pass out and get rescued like a princess. Riley: I don't know what to say, Morty, I- Woodlock: You don't have to say anything. It's just part of the job. It's always just a part of the job. These incidents marked the first time either entity was observed before they both disappeared for a period of eight years. During this time, Leonel M. Fallen, the son of the late Malkin Fallen, was inducted into the Foundation at the age of seventeen. Addenda: 3580.1: On 4/9/1978, SCP-3580 engaged in an attack on Site-102, killing multiple personnel in the process. After on-site security failed to hinder SCP-3580, off-site MTF were called in and arrived twenty minutes after the entity had made contact. [Open Security Log-3580/1] [Close Security Log-3580/1] Security log Six heavily equipped operatives sprint through the facility. The local site director monitors their progress through the security feed. An additional six agents close in from the opposite end of the facility, with both teams converging on the same point - a Keter-class enlarged testing chamber. The first team moves in through the only entrance to the room, viewing SCP-3580 in the center facing the far wall. The secondary team moves to the one-way mirror control room and aims with specialized stun agent-based projectiles. In its left hand, SCP-3580 holds the sheath of a sword. Captain Renner: Alright, surrender and put your weapon on the ground or we will be forced to shoot! The agents move in, making a V formation behind the Captain, all taking aim. SCP-3580: Not likely. Cpt. Renner: Final call, lady. I said put it down! SCP-3580 looks up at the ceiling. SCP-3580: And what fun would that be, soldier? Renner pulls up his radio and gives the signal for the secondary team to open fire. SCP-3580: Here we go again. The secondary agents all fire. SCP-3580 immediately leaps into the air, above all the incoming bullets, and creates a thaumic mid-air platform before bounding off of it and heading straight for the window. Both teams fire on it, which it dodges with a series of rapid movements - bouncing between thaumic platforms in the air - before slashing through the shot-out remains of the window pane and into the control room. It quickly executes two agents with one swipe while the rest back away. It then slices straight through an operative's neck, decapitating him instantly. One operative attempts to run out of the room, grabbing the door handle before her arm is cut off. The two other agents back up and shoot at SCP-3580 again. It turns, grabs the disarmed operative, and charges forward with her body absorbing all the special rounds. It quickly impales the first agent, whips the other with the handle of its sword, and slashes his throat. Outside, the primary team forms around the window and looks inside, seeing nothing but the gore-stained chamber. They back away, and agents consult with Renner. Cpt. Renner: Everybody, stay calm! Wilson, what just happened? Site Director Wilson: It, it… Jesus. I'm switching between feeds now, I can't find it. Cpt. Renner: Alright people, stay close. Wilson, just keep looking for it. The sound of SCP-3580's laughter is heard echoing through the chamber, with no apparent source. The team huddles close and forms a tight circle. Cpt. Renner: Wilson, give me something to work with here. Dir. Wilson: I'm looking everywhere! White powder falls. Dir. Wilson: Wait - Captain, scatter! SCP-3580 breaks through the roof, blade in hand, and leaps downward. The agents look up. They try to raise their weapons at it. It lands and slices through all six with one strike; their bodies all fall limp to the ground. Walking toward a nearby camera, SCP-3580 cackles to itself as it wipes its sword with two fingers. It sighs and grabs ahold of the camera, staring into it. SCP-3580: You should be better than this. Send your best next time; I'll be waiting, Venator. The camera loses visuals as SCP-3580 flicks a splatter of blood on it. SCP-3580 then proceeded through the facility. It made its way to several lockdown bunkers, breaking into them and searching for a researcher with level-4 clearance. It escorted Senior Researcher Julian Ross to a secure access terminal, demanding he input his credentials into the system and give it access to the database. He obliged.According to Ross, he had forgotten all emergency mock credentials that would immediately display a memetic kill agent, lock the terminal, or engage further site lockdown procedures at the time.. The terminal's history showed a single focus - discovering the location of Area-55. This attempt was successful. A notice to Area-55's Site Director has been sent, and emergency lockdown procedures have been issued. The following is a Project Labyrinth briefing pertaining to topics of GOI-850. GOI-850 / Order of the Archine Eclipse Presented by Senior Researcher Jackie Riley GOI-850 is a highly secretive, loosely organized international religious group comprised of both standard and anomalous humanoids. Evidence of GOI-850's existence dates as far back as the 18th century, though it is believed that it has existed for far longer than that. GOI-850 has been credited with the theft of multiple items of interest to anomalous history - an undefined amount of the past that has either been forgotten or hidden from the Foundation or the general public. Such items that have gone missing range widely in subjects, from enchanted weaponry of old to evidence of the Siege of the Hearth. It is believed that GOI-850 operates outside of multiple unknown locations, having spread out across the Earth following a failed attempt at securing their original facility in the early 1800s. After this attempt, however, GOI-850 went into an elongated state of dormancy as the mission had, purportedly, heavily crippled their ranks. GOI-850 is primarily maintained by an unknown number of enhanced humanoids - referred to as "Knights" - only one of which has been observed and contained by the Foundation, excluding SCP-3580 and SCP-3580-A. Analysis of this entity revealed a mixture of crude carnomantic.Thaumaturgic manipulation of flesh and living matter., technological, and thaumaturgical procedures had been performed on it, leading to its aforementioned augmentations. The group is devoted to a figure known as "Archine", an ancient hero credited for having imprisoned multiple monsters, including a large bird-like beast that had been terrorizing a village. Recently, however, with the identification of POI-9112, it has become known that GOI-850 engages in acts of slavery. Thus far, no person having gone missing as a victim of POI-9112 has resurfaced. Further details on GOI-850 are scarce, unprovable, or unknown. Investigations are ongoing. Addenda: 3580.2: MTF Sigma-8 Captain Mortimer Woodlock. In light of recent events, resources have been pooled into creating a temporary MTF unit solely for combatting and containing SCP-3580. This group, managed by Captain Mortimer Woodlock, utilizes several kinds of prototypical anomalous weaponry and armor selected to deal with the subject. Currently, the team (Sigma-8 "Hellbound Cavalry") is composed of seven operatives picked from multiple high-ranking units, and chosen for having experience in close-quarters combat. Given the threat displayed during Incident-3580-1 and Incident-3580-2, proposals have been made for agents under Sigma-8 to undergo augmentation, pending approval. Internal log - Woodlock and Samuel dialogue The two are talking as they walk through the upper facility of Area-55. Samuel: This place might as well be a fortress, especially now on lockdown. Increased security, an MTF, yours excluded, on standby not far from here, several dozen levels full of architecture designed to handle rampaging anomalies, not to mention the big-bad re-containment specialist director themself. They step onto a hanging catwalk overlooking the containment chamber for a massive half-serpentine entity secured with chains and other restraints. Samuel: We've collected every piece on GOI-850 the site has and placed it all into a secure area on the lower floors. Personnel with clearance 4 have temporarily had their levels demoted to their lowest necessary access. Lockdown's a pain, but the safety of the site comes first. Woodlock nods along. Samuel: A team and I examined the recording of it fighting; while its technique is unorthodox, its most alarming facet, besides its swiftness, is its incredible strength. We'll have to better prepare your agents to counteract that attribute. Woodlock: Twelve good men and women dead for its sadistic pleasure. Do whatever it takes. We won't be burying any more. Samuel: Well, Captain, if you are approved for those augments, I'd imagine taking it on would be made much simpler. Tracking it has proved rather fruitless; the only lead we found was an attack on the GOC, which reported a description similar to SCP-3580 over a year ago. Killed the entire strike force of five mercenaries before kidnapping their target - some reality bender kid. Woodlock: Great, so bupkis on where it is now? Samuel: Unfortunately so. We're working as quickly as possible to find anything on it, but between the roadblocks we're already facing and the fact that the woman may as well be a ghost, we'd be lucky to find a single somewhat worthwhile bead. Samuel stops and stares down into the containment chasm. Samuel: How's the team going? The director expressed their disapproval of this task force's creation, and I'd like something to show to hold them over. Woodlock: It's going about as well as it could be. Not many hiccups or problems. Hell, we even got a mage on the job. Samuel: So you think they'll be ready to deploy and combat SCP-3580 should the need arise? Woodlock: Maybe. I've been rushing them to get ready as quickly as they can manage since we only have one shot at this. Samuel: Take your time, Morty. It disappeared for years after its first appearance. Woodlock: Wouldn't be wise to depend on that. It disappeared because it screwed up. It couldn't get what it wanted so it hid from us, just like the first time we came knocking on their doorstep. Woodlock: That wasn't the last period of Order activity either, it was just the last time we saw their ace in action. They probably spent all this time trying to find another site to attack and how to properly get in and out. Woodlock: We're running out of time, Sam. And maybe, maybe they're running out of time as well. Several requests have been filed by Junior Researcher Fallen to participate in Sigma-8's activities, all of which have been denied. Internal log - Woodlock and Fallen dialogue Captain Woodlock is overwatching the operatives of Sigma-8 practice with their weaponry in an underground range at Area-55. Junior Researcher Fallen enters the chamber and walks up to Woodlock. Fallen: Hey, Captain, sir. Woodlock: I have a name, y'know. What do you need now? Fallen: I'm here about that rejection. Woodlock huffs. Woodlock: Look, take it up with the dictator. I'm not the one refusing your applications. Fallen: Well, could you talk to "them" for me? Woodlock: And say what? "Yeah, he's fresh out of preschool and ready to brawl with the ninja". Fallen: Sir- Woodlock: I kinda agree with 'em. Look, I know what you're playing here. You're angry, you're upset, but throwing yourself at a deranged lunatic ain't gonna bring your old man back. Fallen: Well what else can I do to help? Woodlock: You can stick around and help your mother get through this. I imagine she's going through the same shit as you. She needs you. Fallen: She… Woodlock: Yes? There is silence for a second. Fallen: Please, this is all I have - this is all I can do. Woodlock: You can work on your career. You can get a grip on your life. Fallen: That's what I'm doing right now, sir. If you just gave me a chance. Woodlock: I told you: talk to the director. There just isn't much I can do on this end without their say-so. Fallen: Fine, but I'm not giving up on this. Woodlock: You really should. Fallen: I can't. I just - I can't walk away from this. I owe him that much, at least. He turns heads for the exit. Woodlock sighs. Before Fallen makes it to the door, Woodlock calls out to him. Woodlock: Hey kid! Fallen turns back, his hand on the handle. Woodlock: I'll try to put in the good word for you. Just don't make me regret it. Fallen: Thank you. I won't let you down, sir. Addenda: 3580.3: On 14/10/1978, POI-1492."Jane Woodrow", an identified member of GOI-850. Wanted for eight cases of murder. was located and captured. Because of her potential information on GOI-850's affairs, an armored van transport carrying two agents of Sigma-8 was dispatched to secure and deliver her to Area-55 for questioning. During POI-1492's transit, however, the van was intercepted by SCP-3580, who proceeded to kill all four Foundation personnel on board and capture POI-1492. Both targets managed to escape before additional forces could arrive. Because of this, Sigma-8 has been cleared for the use of augmentations sourced from trusted anomalous vendors for combat. These augments will be voluntary to operatives and will be fully covered by the Foundation. These cybernetic additions will aim to enhance agents' abilities during engagements, stimulating increased muscle capacity and speed. To: Assistant Director Samuel McManus From: Captain Mortimer Woodlock Two of mine are dead, and two of yours are dead. Samuel, I told you that divvying the team up was the wrong move. Lockdown or not, this team was built on cooperation and combined strength, not taking on the black ninja one at a time. Throwing more and more agents at this thing haphazardly isn't working. More people who are never going home won't solve anything. If you want 3580 in custody, then I need to be in control of this operation and how we go about bringing it down, not you. We can't afford another screw-up. Don't interfere with my end of this again. The following was recorded at the privately held memorial ceremony for Agents Donovan and Williams. Internal log - Woodlock and Fallen dialogue Footage is taken from an outside off-site training ground near Area-55. The remaining operatives of Sigma-8 are gathered, each holding up an umbrella to protect their cybernetic augmentations. In front of them are two photographs nailed to a tree, one depicting Agent Donovan during a party, two bottles of liquor in hand as he extends both middle fingers to the camera. The other shows Agent Williams posing with a shot-out paper target with the caption: "Accepted!!". Captain Woodlock is seated on a fold-up chair. Researcher Fallen is likewise present. After several speeches are said, he slowly makes his way over to Woodlock, standing beside him. Fallen: Hey, Captain. Woodlock: Don't do this. Fallen: Sir, I- Woodlock briefly turns. Woodlock: Kid. Fallen pauses for a moment as he begins shaking. He walks around to stand in front of Woodlock Woodlock. Fallen: Those fuckers need to pay! His shouting draws the attention of other participants. Fallen: You all know it's true. They've been killing our people for years. Years! My father died eight years ago, and now you're burying your family too! Woodlock: Stop. Fallen: No! I'm not going to sit around and wait for someone else to deal with them. To take that bitch down! She's out there, right now, doing god knows what. Hurting god knows how many people?! He takes several deep breaths. Fallen: What about your old team, Captain? Woodlock: Sit down, Leon. Fallen: What does this badge even stand for? He tugs on a Foundation emblem on his jacket. Fallen: Contain… protect? Protecting who? Containing what? People are dead, and I, I … He pauses. Fallen: Captain Mortimer, sir, I'm either going to join your team, or I'm leaving. I can't take sitting around doing nothing anymore, getting nothing done as that monster slaughters us like cattle. I just can't. He turns and quietly walks away. The others there all become silent. Due to the ongoing threat presented by SCP-3580, additional agents for Sigma-8 have been considered to replace the newly opened positions. So far, four more candidates have been chosen, and are currently undergoing training. Staff file - Leonel Fallen File photo. Name: Fallen, Leonel Maelstrom Security Clearance: 3 Employed As: Junior Researcher / Field Agent Current Assignment: Area-55 Engineering / SCP-3580 Personnel Report: Following the loss of his father, Site Director Malkin Fallen, during a containment breach, Mr. Fallen was offered a position with the Foundation after assessing his ability to adapt to the workforce and his sufficient talents and intelligence. At first, he showed a level of maturity regarding the unfortunate incident and acclimated fairly well into the Foundation. However, shortly after the death of his civilian mother, Josephine Fallen, his demeanor took a rapid decline, both in his work and his social skills, and he took up a great interest in SCP-3580's case.It is unknown how Fallen had managed to bypass the security level requirement, though it is suspected that the document was leaked by a superior member of faculty.. Presently, Mr. Fallen has submitted five separate requests to enlist in MTF Sigma-8's activities in the containment of SCP-3580. Upon the fifth attempt, the request was tentatively granted by Director Roufhous with a recommendation from Captain Mortimer Woodlock on the condition that Mr. Fallen would be closely monitored during training and engagements. Addenda: 3580.4: On 11/3/1979, SCP-3580 engaged in an assault on Area-55. [Open Security Log-3580/2/3] [Close Security Log-3580/2/3] Security log After having breached through the entrance, SCP-3580 proceeded through several hallways and junctures, eventually making it to one of the central stairways. By this time, standard MTF units have moved in, occupying and guarding populated areas as personnel make their way to security shelters. MTF Sigma-8 has now finished preparations and is now heading to intercept SCP-3580. They proceed through the 4th and 3rd sublevels of the facility, with two teams making their way to the same position to reach SCP-3580 on its path to the next stairway. SCP-3580 stops in its tracks on the 1st subfloor and pauses. Sigma-8's Alfa team, comprised of four agents, emerges from the three directions of the X intersection of the hallway several meters behind SCP-3580. They take aim. Agt. Duke: SCP-3580, surrender, and get on the ground now! It does not turn to face them. SCP-3580: Funny little men. Funny little toys. Security systems in another wing of the facility note the presence of an anomaly on the loose. Still not facing Duke's team, SCP-3580 crouches down. It maintains a fixed grip on the sword. Agt. Duke: Fire! It leaps upward, clinging to the roof for a moment before it bounds from wall to wall and floor to ceiling in the opposite direction. After four strides, its next foothold gets shot out mid-bound, and it falls to the ground, engaging a thaumic barrier as it lands which blocks most of the bullets from this side. SCP-3580: Funny, funny- The Bravo team enters the scene directly in front of it, with Captain Woodlock leading the charge. They open fire immediately, repeatedly hitting SCP-3580. It struggles as it creates another thaumic barrier in front of it. Both teams push in from each side, quickly closing in. Despite having taken several sedative rounds, SCP-3580 still clings to its sword as it attempts to stand, visibly struggling to do so. Woodlock commands both units to hold as he approaches. Agent Fallen follows beside him. Security detects that the entity is swiftly approaching this hallway. SCP-3580 rises to its feet, and stands, shakily, with its sword in hand. Cpt. Woodlock: We gotcha. He removes his sidearm and shoots at its knee. It crumples down, clinging to its sword to hold it upright. Agent Fallen walks over to the downed SCP-3580. Security monitoring personnel alert Captain Woodlock of the approaching threat. He turns his head to look down every end of the hall. Cpt. Woodlock: Crap. Everyone, positions; bodey incoming. Leon- He turns around to see Fallen standing over SCP-3580, barrel pointed at it. Agt. Fallen: This is for my father. SCP-3580: Which one was he? It chuckles lightly with a slight rasp. SCP-3580: I honestly can't remember. He strikes it over the head with the butt of his gun. Cpt. Woodlock: Whoa, kid, stop. Stop! Several operatives break formation and try to get a hold of Agent Fallen. SCP-3580-A smashes through the wall, sending bricks flying and knocking over Woodlock and Fallen. It opens fire, sweeping the left to right sides of the hall. Only three other operatives, besides Fallen and Woodlock, manage to hide behind cover in time. The entity takes SCP-3580's hand and lifts it up. SCP-3580: Took you long enough, Grand Warden. SCP-3580-A: Proxima, please- SCP-3580: Shut it. Where's the damn thing? SCP-3580-A: It's down several floors. SCP-3580: Fine, Warden. Stairs are that way, get moving. SCP-3580-A: Proxima, you are hurt. Please, let me help. SCP-3580: This doesn't concern you, Grand Warden. SCP-3580-A: Proxima- SCP-3580: I said piss off. SCP-3580-A sighs, entering through the hole in the wall while watching where it steps as it passes by the corpses of three agents. SCP-3580 raises itself to stand, despite its numerous injuries, causing it to grumble. It walks over to Fallen, who lays on the floor coughing. It picks him up by the hair and looks him in the eye. SCP-3580: Now, who did you say your daddy was again? Agt. Fallen: You fucking-motherfuckin- It slams him into a wall, holding him up by the neck off the ground. SCP-3580: That wasn't the answer I was looking for, boy. He stifles a sob. Agt. Fallen: Site Director Malkin Fallen! As he speaks, he clenches his teeth. Agt. Fallen: His name was Malkin Fallen, you fucking evil- It draws its blade. SCP-3580: -Doesn't ring a bell. It brings its blade to his stomach, leaving a gash along its surface. Fallen shouts. SCP-3580: There's not a whole lot I care for the people I encounter on these missions. Names for targets, maybe. Faces less likely. But otherwise, anyone who'll stand in my way is gonna be a fun little etching on my handle. A little treat for my practice, like your dear old pa. It brings its blade to his neck, drawing blood. He cringes, wincing. SCP-3580: But I'm surely not going to remember any of your little soldiers here today as anything other than an interesting situation, and a stain to clean off my sword. It drags him further up the wall. It looks him in the eye, grinning. SCP-3580: Especially not some whiney, hellbent brat playing pretend! It slashes through his leg, slicing it clean off. Fallen screams. SCP-3580-A: You are no soldier. You are nothing. SCP-3580 tosses him across the hall. He crashes into a pile of rebar and upturned concrete while SCP-3580 leans its shoulder on the wall and begins laughing. Captain Woodlock struggles to stand upright. He pulls out his sidearm as he advances on SCP-3580, taking several shots at it which are all blocked by miniature thaumic barriers. He quickly runs out of ammo and tries to crawl back. It turns and walks casually toward him. Its sword drags across the wall, leaving a thick cut on its surface, as it brings the weapon over its head. SCP-3580: This is… this is how it feels! SCP-3580 is stopped as its arm takes a .357 round, flailing it. Across the hall, Site Director Roufhous is seen walking towards them. Captain Woodlock backs away and tosses the pistol at SCP-3580. It catches the gun and crushes it in its hand as it refocuses on the Director. It reaches down to a device on its wrist. SCP-3580: Cascade, hurry up down there. Director Roufhous gets in front of Woodlock, pocketing the revolver as they lean on their cane. Dir. Roufhous: Mortimer, take Leonel to the infirmary. Woodlock with the help of another operative, hoists the bleeding Agent Fallen up and escorts him away from the conflict. SCP-3580 keeps its eyes on Roufhous. SCP-3580: Venator. You're still alive. Dir. Roufhous: We earned whatever you came here to reclaim. SCP-3580: Really? And what about my arms? A sound reverberates through their electronic mask. Dir. Roufhous: Good luck with that. SCP-3580 takes two steps and launches itself towards them with a slash. They parry the hit with their cane. The skirmish continues with Roufhous pressing forward. Dir. Roufhous: Weak. Uncoordinated. Slow. It brings down the katana on their cane, keeping it locked there. Roufhous pulls on the handle, revealing a hidden blade inside which they attack with. They land a strike on SCP-3580's head with the bottom end of the cane. It takes the hit before reorienting to deflect the oncoming blade. Dir. Roufhous: Hmm. You love to torment humans. Can't even keep up the offense? It jumps and skips, launching off the wall to come down on them with a wide strike. They push back and up against it, and it arcs over and lands behind them. SCP-3580: You have no right to say that, you bastard! SCP-3580 leaps forward in an instant. Roufhous swings, striking SCP-3580 in the arm, knocking the prosthetic and its sword away. It lands on its feet, grunting agitatedly, and spins around only to be struck in the side of the head by the metal handle of the cane. It slumps to the floor. Around the two, the remaining agents of Sigma-8 reveal themselves as the fight concludes. SCP-3580 speaks with a mild groan. SCP-3580: After everything you did. Dir. Roufhous: I have every right, witch. They turn to face the two remaining operatives. Dir. Roufhous: You lads handle her. Do not let her out of your sight. They disappear and instantly reappear.This is attributable to Director Roufhous' illusory anomaly. at the end of the hallway, pursuing SCP-3580-A. Subsequently, SCP-3580-A made its way through several sublevels of the facility, later reaching the floor where all materials on GOI-850 had been stockpiled. Security systems showed it passing by several items of interest, instead moving to the back of the containment area and solely claiming one document contained within a canister. It then proceeded to make its way back through the facility, avoiding contact with all personnel along its way, and was eventually confronted by Captain Woodlock. Attached below is the recording of that incident. Security log SCP-3580-A is charging down a hallway, continuously bursting through shutting doors and reinforced gates with some effort. It holds the artifact close to its chest as it runs. As it breaks through another barrier, it is met with Captain Woodlock pointing his rifle at it. It stops. SCP-3580-A: You. I hope your recovery was swift. Cpt. Woodlock: It wasn't. In fact, it was pretty slow and it was pretty painful. SCP-3580-A: I see. My deepest apologies. Cpt. Woodlock: I don't accept. Put it down. SCP-3580-A: You're severely outgunned here, my friend. A shotgun is racked, and its barrel is tapped against the back of SCP-3580-A's head. Dir. Roufhous: Likewise. SCP-3580-A: Deeply unfortunate. Cpt. Woodlock: Yeah, I'd say that's about right. Now- It brings its arm forward first and slams its elbow into Roufhous, sending them backward. Woodlock takes several shots at it, which do not appear to penetrate its armor. It repositions to target Woodlock but is stopped as Roufhous stabs into SCP-3580-A's gun with their blade. It tries repeatedly to swat them off with its free hand to no avail. They aim their shotgun at its chest and take several shots in quick succession, causing it to stagger. SCP-3580-A manages to unjam its gun and brings it around to Woodlock. Woodlock aims the rifle at its face and takes a shot. The bullet pierces its frontal plating. It roars as it stumbles back. Roufhous gets down behind it and fires at the back of its knees. It falls on its back, cracking the linoleum floor beneath it, still clinging to the canister. Woodlock runs over and places his full weight on SCP-3580-A's gun. Roufhous kneels down, placing the barrel of the shotgun directly atop its head. Woodlock reaches down, grasping his radio. Cpt. Woodlock: Boys, get down here now, Sub-7, Hall-8! Hurry! SCP-3580-A: Greatly… unfortunate. It takes multiple deep breaths; the duration of these surpassing human capabilities. SCP-3580-A: However, there is, perhaps, one problem. Woodlock levels his rifle at its head. Cpt. Woodlock: Fuck you mean? A beep sounds from its wrist. It chuckles. SCP-3580-A: Did you forget? She has with her some rather magical hands. A rift opens on the ceiling, and a bloodstained SCP-3580 falls through. In its singular remaining prosthetic, it carries its sword. As it falls, it kicks Woodlock sending him flying back, and stabs Roufhous in the torso, sending them to the floor. SCP-3580 laughs wildly. SCP-3580: Pitiful! Just as pitiful as the rest! SCP-3580-A gets to its feet, struggling with its wounds. SCP-3580-A: Proxima, enough. It is finished. SCP-3580: I don't answer to you, Grand Warden. SCP-3580-A: More than enough blood has been shed. We can leave now. We must leave now before more arrive. SCP-3580: We can kill them too. It's of little concern. SCP-3580-A stomps, cracking the floor beneath it with a loud crash. SCP-3580-A: Proxima, enough! Dir. Roufhous: Oh, sure, you can kill them all if you resort to the lowliest of maneuvers, much like a child too afraid of serious confrontation! A sound echoes through their mask before SCP-3580 pulls its sword out. It takes the blade and strikes their mask, causing it to shatter and spill blood. SCP-3580-A: Inquisitor Ramexe, open the gateway so that we may leave this place. SCP-3580: Fine! It stands and creates a thaumic symbol with two fingers in the air. It draws an incantation, creating an elaborate rune of golden sparkling light that expands to a diameter roughly two meters long, its interior depicting another location. SCP-3580: Satisfied, Warden? SCP-3580-A: We leave. Do not delay. It steps through the portal and stands on the other end, awaiting SCP-3580. SCP-3580 looks down at Roufhous. SCP-3580: Burn in Hell, Venator. Woodlock finally gets to his feet and aims his rifle at SCP-3580. Cpt. Woodlock: Hold it! It looks over at him and laughs. SCP-3580: We've been through this many times already; bullets won't work, little soldier. Woodlock pulls back the charging handle of the rifle. Cpt. Woodlock: Think you're good enough to keep up two spells at once? You wanna take that chance with just the one hand? SCP-3580 crouches down. It is silent for several seconds. SCP-3580: That child back there was cross with me, wasn't he? His father - he said the man was a manager of one of these branches. Cpt. Woodlock: Site Director Malkin Fallen. SCP-3580: That's the one. Director, funny. Funny what kinds of honors they bestow upon you honorless batches of men. Junior, senior, lead researcher. Operative, agent, commander, captain. Cpt. Woodlock: Kill that portal- It grabs Roufhous and hurls their body towards Woodlock, who holds his fire as he is knocked down. It dashes after the portal. Woodlock takes several wild shots at it, all miss. It makes it through and the portal closes right after. Cpt. Woodlock: Son of a bitch! He looks around. Director Roufhous has disappeared. The document stolen during this incident has been identified as half of an incantation capable of instantly transporting undefined amounts of matter from one location to another, at great expense to the caster. The remainder of this document beforehand remained unaccounted for. The whereabouts of Site Director Roufhous are currently unknown. Assistant Director Samuel has assumed some of their duties over Area-55 in their absence. Finding and containing SCP-3580 has been declared Priority Level ALPHA. The classification of this situation as a crisis is pending. Addenda: 3580.5: On 12/3/1979, a search effort across all known anomalous channels began, attempting to locate SCP-3580. Since this time, no new activity has been noted for either entity, and their current location remains unknown. Retroactive investigations revealed several reports for both entities among other paranormal agencies, with accounts usually including violent depictions but lacked applicable information. No throughline has been established with sightings of either anomaly, and few identifying details could be found. This venture is ongoing, and increased funds and resources have been allocated to this project; worldwide locating is ongoing, and the O5 Council has been alerted to this issue. After the events of 11/3/1979, Agent Leonel Fallen was brought into intensive care and remained unconscious for a period of four days. He later awoke on the 15th and stabilized on the 20th. The operatives who died during that incident have been awarded Foundation Stars of Bravery, and their families have been notified and compensated. Internal log - Woodlock, Samuel, and Fallen dialogue Agent Fallen is lying in a medical bed, Captain Woodlock at his side. Woodlock is looking down, stroking a photograph with his thumb. The image depicts the fully assembled Sigma-8. Fallen: Both of them. At once. Woodlock: Right when we had her. Fallen: Just when I was about to… Woodlock: You were out of line. Fallen: But if I did manage to do it? Woodlock: Then you'd be demoted. Fallen: And the fat bastard wouldn't have escaped. Neither would she. Woodlock sighs, staring ahead blankly. Woodlock: We blew it. Fallen: If I was quicker to the trigger. Woodlock: I could have positioned the team better. Prepared you all better. He puts his elbow on the table at his side and leans on it. Fallen: The turnout would have been the same. You did all you could, sir. Woodlock: It sure doesn't feel like it. The two are silent; the only noise heard is the beeping of the nearby machinery. A knocking is heard on the door. Woodlock stands up and walks over to open it, and Interim Director Samuel steps inside. Samuel: Mortimer. Leon. Woodlock: What do you want now? Samuel: Besides the obvious, I wanted to discuss the future of Sigma-8. Perhaps we should do this in private. Fallen: What's the damage? Samuel: Fine then. Your team has proven highly ineffective in this case, Mortimer. Each deployment has displayed high casualties but no results. Higher-up, more professional task forces are being discussed for your replacement. Woodlock: What's to be done with us? Samuel: You will receive no further funding for augmentations, training, equipment, or otherwise. The remaining operatives will be reassigned, and they will have to forfeit their augments to cover the cost created by this experiment. Woodlock: And myself? Samuel: The Foundation has noticed that you showed exemplary bravery during the latest incident; going in without your team and living to tell the tale and all. You showed satisfactory professionalism during it, and your judgment did not appear to be overly influenced by your past. You will be reassigned to whatever task force takes over for this project. Fallen: What about me? Samuel: You displayed the opposite and acted aggressively and irrationally. You will be returned to junior research activities, and your enhancements will be surgically removed. Fallen: That thing cut off my fucking leg! Samuel: After you directly disclosed your personal history with it and attempted to terminate it without proper authorization. Fallen: Termina- We haven't even contained it yet! Samuel: And now that affair will be handled by more capable hands. The Foundation thanks you for your service and wishes you a swift recovery. Fallen: Get out. Samuel: Watch your tone, researcher. He turns to Woodlock. Samuel: Mortimer, these are for you. He hands Woodlock a file of papers. After doing so, he collects a report from Fallen's bedframe and heads to the door, exiting the room. Woodlock briefly looks over the papers before tossing them over onto a nearby table. Woodlock: They got bupkis. Fallen: We worked for months to capture those two- Woodlock: And they reassigned us when we just weren't fit for the job. I'm sure they'll put some real good teams on it, kid. Fallen: And I'll never know with a shitty junior researcher clearance level. Woodlock: It's in good hands now. Fallen: We thought we were good hands at first too. Woodlock: We did. We were. Maybe if we still had our mage… Fallen: You don't seem all that phased that the fucker- Woodlock: Quit swearing. Fallen huffs. Fallen: That the fuckers who killed your team are just walking away scot-free right now! Woodlock: Knock it off. Fallen: While we sit here on our asses being told off by some dickhead in a suit who didn't lose shit his entire life, that bitch is out there killing and butchering and making some more orphans! Woodlock: Agent Leonel- Fallen: Ex-agent, Captain! The Captain stands. Woodlock: Agent Leonel Maelstrom Fallen, shut your goddamned trap for once! Fallen leans up in bed. Woodlock takes several deep breaths. Woodlock: Look, we both have problems. People are dead. You don't need to keep reminding me every five minutes just to support whatever bullshit point you're trying to make. Either move on or fall behind, but don't make me have to carry your shitty little emotions on my back as well! Woodlock: Man up! He picks up the documents, walks to the door, and heads out. Fallen watches him leave. He visibly strains himself for a moment, thrashing his fists to a limited extent, before trying his best to turn away. His hands move over his face. On 13/3/1979, MTF Sigma-8 ("Hellbound Cavalry") was disbanded. The remaining agents of it, namely operatives Fallen and Woodlock, have been reassigned. Authorization for the deployment of Tau-5 ("Samsara") is pending. Authorization for the deployment of Alpha-1 ("Red Right Hand") is pending. Nu-7 ("Hammer Down") has been called in for the time being. Addenda: 3580.6: EMERGENCY NOTICE An ongoing containment breach of SCP-3580 and SCP-3580-A is in effect. Several Mobile Task Forces have been deployed to contain the incident. The situation is being monitored. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3580" by Roufhous, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3580.

SCP-3580	uncontained	SCP-3580 - Honor In Blood G'day. I said last time that my next skip would reach 10,000 words. Here's 11,000. Welcome to Honor In Blood, after nine years in development, hopefully, it will have been worth the wait. Thanks and have fun! My deepest appreciation to: DrSoot77 Doctor Levi Starkin StrangerSwing And especially Jiwoahn For taking a look at this massive project! ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} by Roufhous Item#: 3580 Level4 Secondary Class: uncontained Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: critical link to memo Assigned Site Site Director Research Head Assigned Task Force Area-55 Interim Dir. Samuel McManus Sr. Adelaine Pepper Nu-7 ("Hammer Down") Special Containment Procedures: Investigations into GOI-850 are ongoing and are headed by Project Labyrinth personnel. Due to its extremely hazardous capabilities, SCP-3580 is not to be confronted by personnel. Attempts to capture it are to be conducted solely by specialized operatives. Unrelated or standard Mobile Task Force units are not advised for deployment against SCP-3580. No less than two Nu-7 units are to be immediately dispatched for appearances of SCP-3580. Disinformation campaigns have been initiated to conceal the nature of the Türkiye incident. Attempts at neutralizing or minimizing the ongoing conflict between Germany and Türkiye are underway. Locating SCP-3580, as well as other members of GOI-850, has been deemed Priority Level BETA. Description: Damaged right-arm prosthesis dropped by SCP-3580. SCP-3580 denotes a feminine humanoid entity belonging to GOI-850 ("Order of the Archine Eclipse").A secretive organization dedicated to collecting and harboring items of importance in anomalous history. All known members are highly dangerous and possess various anomalous traits.. Physically, SCP-3580 is 190 cm in height with tied black hair reaching down to its waist. Missing both its arms, SCP-3580 utilizes thaumaturgically enhanced prosthetics. The entity's ethnicity is unknown. While interactions with SCP-3580 have been scarce, it is known that it possesses incredible proficiency in close-quarters combat, specializing in the usage of edged weapons. It is also capable of moving and reacting at rapid speeds, with one instance displaying an estimated 65 km/h. In addition, it has been found that SCP-3580 possesses an advanced degree of expertise in combat-related areas of thaumaturgy, utilizing these skills for primarily defensive purposes during observed conflicts. It has been found through recovered correspondence that SCP-3580 is regarded as "Inquisitor Proxima Ramexe" among GOI-850 members. SCP-3580-A is a humanoid entity, measuring roughly 400cm in height, belonging to GOI-850. Physically, SCP-3580-A possesses thick wrapping around its entire body with metallic plates placed around the shoulders, shins, thighs, forearms, back, neck, jaw, and head. Its left arm has been replaced by a mounted sextuple-barreled Gatling gun of an unknown model, with built-in ammunition reserves along its figure. SCP-3580, alongside SCP-3580-A, has engaged in multiple raids on Foundation sites, leading to various numbers of casualties while stealing artifacts and documents, or releasing persons of interest. Contact with other under-the-Veil agencies has reported few but several occasions of being attacked or approached by, SCP-3580, SCP-3580-A, or other members of GOI-850. Discovery: SCP-3580 was first observed on 18/2/1971 during a raid on Site-41 which resulted in the deaths of fourteen personnel. One person in this group was the Site Director, Malkin Fallen, who refused SCP-3580's demands for him to open containment cells on the lower floors as Mobile Task Force operatives moved in. When the incident concluded, several anomalous items were found to have been stolen, and an open terminal with level-3 submitted clearance entered was discovered. The terminal had been used to access all available topics relating to GOI-850, certain anomalies, and a brief attempt to uncover the location of Area-55 - the base of operations for Project Labyrinth investigations. This attempt was unsuccessful. Near the end of the incident, multiple MTFs were deployed to Site-41, including Nu-7 ("Hammer Down") and Epsilon 11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox"). However, they proved ineffective at stopping SCP-3580, resulting in its escape and subsequent disappearance. That same year, SCP-3580-A was first observed during the failed detainment of POI-9112 ."Kevin Gibson", an identified affiliate of GOI-850. Wanted for human trafficking.. During that incident, SCP-3580-A intervened, killing four operatives and injuring the fifth before proceeding to terminate POI-9112. Before it fled, SCP-3580-A interacted with the fifth agent - Agent Mortimer Woodlock. A transcript of the after-action report has been provided below. Internal log - Woodlock and Riley dialogue Agent Woodlock and Senior Researcher Jackie Riley are seated in an interview room. Riley: How're ya holding up, Morty? Woodlock: I've been better. Riley: Mm. I'm really, really sorry for what happened. I'm sure your team would be glad to know you survived. Woodlock: It's just a part of the job. Come on, Jacks, you brought me here for a sob story or what? Riley: Right. We wanted to know the specifics of what went on, on the twenty-first. What went wrong, what was that thing, just what happened? Woodlock adjusts himself in his chair. Woodlock: Well, it was all going smoothly. Got the bastard up in cuffs at his home and we were fixing to leave. To be honest, for all he did, just being held in a cell didn't seem like justice to me. Riley: What would have been justice, then? Woodlock: Careful what you wish for played a bit in my mind after the fact. Riley: Mm. Woodlock: So we'd just cuffed him up and we were just about to move out. Suddenly, Kamsky starts shouting in the back. Says "Get down!"… I don't think he was alive by the time he hit the deck. Woodlock briefly pauses before continuing. Woodlock: Bullets start spraying everywhere. Kamsky went first, then Rodriguez… Allison… and the Captain. Was lucky I got behind cover in the kitchen, so I grab Gibson and pull him down with me. Even luckier I only got nicked. Riley: I wouldn't say almost losing your leg was a "nick". Woodlock leans forward with his elbow on his injured knee. Woodlock: Sure, Jacks. Sure. Riley: Sorry. Woodlock: Now, as I was saying, I'm holding this idiot and he's screaming bloody murder. Of course, I can barely hear him since I didn't have my hearing protection in, and the gun show just started about twenty feet away. Woodlock: But even while Gibson's crying like a baby, I could feel something - a rumbling. There was a shadow on the wall, and it was coming towards us. I could barely move, so I crawl over to hide behind the kitchen counter. I try to drag Gibson with me, but - too late. He gets picked up. Woodlock: I look up and see this huge hulking thing standing there, hoisting Gibson by the neck. It's gigantic - has to get down on one knee just to fit in the room. Covered in what looked like roughed-up armor. Knight shit. It had these, these glowing green eyes that shot through the thing's mask. And a great big gun on one of its arms. He leans back. Woodlock: So it holds Gibson up and looks him in the eye. I can't hear what it says, and it looked like Gibson was just begging for his life. All I see after is a quick movement, just some shadows and a dust cloud falls from the wall. Gibson's brains are splattered everywhere, and his body falls backward from up on top the kitchen sink. Woodlock: So I try to scoot away. I'm losing a lot of blood, so I try to treat it at the same time. I'm panicking - not thinking straight. Then it noticed me. His fists clench. Woodlock: It nudges over and looms over me. My ears start to clear, and I can hear it speaking. Riley: What did it say? Woodlock: Couldn't make out exactly what, but it did say something along the lines of an apology. I tried to raise my gun - big fucking mistake. Woodlock: I take a shot at its face, it clocks me so hard in the arm the pistol goes flying and my hand feels twelve types of broken. He raises his right arm, showcasing the cast. Woodlock: It stands up and glares down at me with those cold eyes. It just stood there for like a minute, watching me writhing before it decided I wasn't worth it. I pass out and get rescued like a princess. Riley: I don't know what to say, Morty, I- Woodlock: You don't have to say anything. It's just part of the job. It's always just a part of the job. These incidents marked the first time either entity was observed before they both disappeared for a period of eight years. During this time, Leonel M. Fallen, the son of the late Malkin Fallen, was inducted into the Foundation at the age of seventeen. Addenda: 3580.1: On 4/9/1978, SCP-3580 engaged in an attack on Site-102, killing multiple personnel in the process. After on-site security failed to hinder SCP-3580, off-site MTF were called in and arrived twenty minutes after the entity had made contact. [Open Security Log-3580/1] [Close Security Log-3580/1] Security log Six heavily equipped operatives sprint through the facility. The local site director monitors their progress through the security feed. An additional six agents close in from the opposite end of the facility, with both teams converging on the same point - a Keter-class enlarged testing chamber. The first team moves in through the only entrance to the room, viewing SCP-3580 in the center facing the far wall. The secondary team moves to the one-way mirror control room and aims with specialized stun agent-based projectiles. In its left hand, SCP-3580 holds the sheath of a sword. Captain Renner: Alright, surrender and put your weapon on the ground or we will be forced to shoot! The agents move in, making a V formation behind the Captain, all taking aim. SCP-3580: Not likely. Cpt. Renner: Final call, lady. I said put it down! SCP-3580 looks up at the ceiling. SCP-3580: And what fun would that be, soldier? Renner pulls up his radio and gives the signal for the secondary team to open fire. SCP-3580: Here we go again. The secondary agents all fire. SCP-3580 immediately leaps into the air, above all the incoming bullets, and creates a thaumic mid-air platform before bounding off of it and heading straight for the window. Both teams fire on it, which it dodges with a series of rapid movements - bouncing between thaumic platforms in the air - before slashing through the shot-out remains of the window pane and into the control room. It quickly executes two agents with one swipe while the rest back away. It then slices straight through an operative's neck, decapitating him instantly. One operative attempts to run out of the room, grabbing the door handle before her arm is cut off. The two other agents back up and shoot at SCP-3580 again. It turns, grabs the disarmed operative, and charges forward with her body absorbing all the special rounds. It quickly impales the first agent, whips the other with the handle of its sword, and slashes his throat. Outside, the primary team forms around the window and looks inside, seeing nothing but the gore-stained chamber. They back away, and agents consult with Renner. Cpt. Renner: Everybody, stay calm! Wilson, what just happened? Site Director Wilson: It, it… Jesus. I'm switching between feeds now, I can't find it. Cpt. Renner: Alright people, stay close. Wilson, just keep looking for it. The sound of SCP-3580's laughter is heard echoing through the chamber, with no apparent source. The team huddles close and forms a tight circle. Cpt. Renner: Wilson, give me something to work with here. Dir. Wilson: I'm looking everywhere! White powder falls. Dir. Wilson: Wait - Captain, scatter! SCP-3580 breaks through the roof, blade in hand, and leaps downward. The agents look up. They try to raise their weapons at it. It lands and slices through all six with one strike; their bodies all fall limp to the ground. Walking toward a nearby camera, SCP-3580 cackles to itself as it wipes its sword with two fingers. It sighs and grabs ahold of the camera, staring into it. SCP-3580: You should be better than this. Send your best next time; I'll be waiting, Venator. The camera loses visuals as SCP-3580 flicks a splatter of blood on it. SCP-3580 then proceeded through the facility. It made its way to several lockdown bunkers, breaking into them and searching for a researcher with level-4 clearance. It escorted Senior Researcher Julian Ross to a secure access terminal, demanding he input his credentials into the system and give it access to the database. He obliged.According to Ross, he had forgotten all emergency mock credentials that would immediately display a memetic kill agent, lock the terminal, or engage further site lockdown procedures at the time.. The terminal's history showed a single focus - discovering the location of Area-55. This attempt was successful. A notice to Area-55's Site Director has been sent, and emergency lockdown procedures have been issued. The following is a Project Labyrinth briefing pertaining to topics of GOI-850. GOI-850 / Order of the Archine Eclipse Presented by Senior Researcher Jackie Riley GOI-850 is a highly secretive, loosely organized international religious group comprised of both standard and anomalous humanoids. Evidence of GOI-850's existence dates as far back as the 18th century, though it is believed that it has existed for far longer than that. GOI-850 has been credited with the theft of multiple items of interest to anomalous history - an undefined amount of the past that has either been forgotten or hidden from the Foundation or the general public. Such items that have gone missing range widely in subjects, from enchanted weaponry of old to evidence of the Siege of the Hearth. It is believed that GOI-850 operates outside of multiple unknown locations, having spread out across the Earth following a failed attempt at securing their original facility in the early 1800s. After this attempt, however, GOI-850 went into an elongated state of dormancy as the mission had, purportedly, heavily crippled their ranks. GOI-850 is primarily maintained by an unknown number of enhanced humanoids - referred to as "Knights" - only one of which has been observed and contained by the Foundation, excluding SCP-3580 and SCP-3580-A. Analysis of this entity revealed a mixture of crude carnomantic.Thaumaturgic manipulation of flesh and living matter., technological, and thaumaturgical procedures had been performed on it, leading to its aforementioned augmentations. The group is devoted to a figure known as "Archine", an ancient hero credited for having imprisoned multiple monsters, including a large bird-like beast that had been terrorizing a village. Recently, however, with the identification of POI-9112, it has become known that GOI-850 engages in acts of slavery. Thus far, no person having gone missing as a victim of POI-9112 has resurfaced. Further details on GOI-850 are scarce, unprovable, or unknown. Investigations are ongoing. Addenda: 3580.2: MTF Sigma-8 Captain Mortimer Woodlock. In light of recent events, resources have been pooled into creating a temporary MTF unit solely for combatting and containing SCP-3580. This group, managed by Captain Mortimer Woodlock, utilizes several kinds of prototypical anomalous weaponry and armor selected to deal with the subject. Currently, the team (Sigma-8 "Hellbound Cavalry") is composed of seven operatives picked from multiple high-ranking units, and chosen for having experience in close-quarters combat. Given the threat displayed during Incident-3580-1 and Incident-3580-2, proposals have been made for agents under Sigma-8 to undergo augmentation, pending approval. Internal log - Woodlock and Samuel dialogue The two are talking as they walk through the upper facility of Area-55. Samuel: This place might as well be a fortress, especially now on lockdown. Increased security, an MTF, yours excluded, on standby not far from here, several dozen levels full of architecture designed to handle rampaging anomalies, not to mention the big-bad re-containment specialist director themself. They step onto a hanging catwalk overlooking the containment chamber for a massive half-serpentine entity secured with chains and other restraints. Samuel: We've collected every piece on GOI-850 the site has and placed it all into a secure area on the lower floors. Personnel with clearance 4 have temporarily had their levels demoted to their lowest necessary access. Lockdown's a pain, but the safety of the site comes first. Woodlock nods along. Samuel: A team and I examined the recording of it fighting; while its technique is unorthodox, its most alarming facet, besides its swiftness, is its incredible strength. We'll have to better prepare your agents to counteract that attribute. Woodlock: Twelve good men and women dead for its sadistic pleasure. Do whatever it takes. We won't be burying any more. Samuel: Well, Captain, if you are approved for those augments, I'd imagine taking it on would be made much simpler. Tracking it has proved rather fruitless; the only lead we found was an attack on the GOC, which reported a description similar to SCP-3580 over a year ago. Killed the entire strike force of five mercenaries before kidnapping their target - some reality bender kid. Woodlock: Great, so bupkis on where it is now? Samuel: Unfortunately so. We're working as quickly as possible to find anything on it, but between the roadblocks we're already facing and the fact that the woman may as well be a ghost, we'd be lucky to find a single somewhat worthwhile bead. Samuel stops and stares down into the containment chasm. Samuel: How's the team going? The director expressed their disapproval of this task force's creation, and I'd like something to show to hold them over. Woodlock: It's going about as well as it could be. Not many hiccups or problems. Hell, we even got a mage on the job. Samuel: So you think they'll be ready to deploy and combat SCP-3580 should the need arise? Woodlock: Maybe. I've been rushing them to get ready as quickly as they can manage since we only have one shot at this. Samuel: Take your time, Morty. It disappeared for years after its first appearance. Woodlock: Wouldn't be wise to depend on that. It disappeared because it screwed up. It couldn't get what it wanted so it hid from us, just like the first time we came knocking on their doorstep. Woodlock: That wasn't the last period of Order activity either, it was just the last time we saw their ace in action. They probably spent all this time trying to find another site to attack and how to properly get in and out. Woodlock: We're running out of time, Sam. And maybe, maybe they're running out of time as well. Several requests have been filed by Junior Researcher Fallen to participate in Sigma-8's activities, all of which have been denied. Internal log - Woodlock and Fallen dialogue Captain Woodlock is overwatching the operatives of Sigma-8 practice with their weaponry in an underground range at Area-55. Junior Researcher Fallen enters the chamber and walks up to Woodlock. Fallen: Hey, Captain, sir. Woodlock: I have a name, y'know. What do you need now? Fallen: I'm here about that rejection. Woodlock huffs. Woodlock: Look, take it up with the dictator. I'm not the one refusing your applications. Fallen: Well, could you talk to "them" for me? Woodlock: And say what? "Yeah, he's fresh out of preschool and ready to brawl with the ninja". Fallen: Sir- Woodlock: I kinda agree with 'em. Look, I know what you're playing here. You're angry, you're upset, but throwing yourself at a deranged lunatic ain't gonna bring your old man back. Fallen: Well what else can I do to help? Woodlock: You can stick around and help your mother get through this. I imagine she's going through the same shit as you. She needs you. Fallen: She… Woodlock: Yes? There is silence for a second. Fallen: Please, this is all I have - this is all I can do. Woodlock: You can work on your career. You can get a grip on your life. Fallen: That's what I'm doing right now, sir. If you just gave me a chance. Woodlock: I told you: talk to the director. There just isn't much I can do on this end without their say-so. Fallen: Fine, but I'm not giving up on this. Woodlock: You really should. Fallen: I can't. I just - I can't walk away from this. I owe him that much, at least. He turns heads for the exit. Woodlock sighs. Before Fallen makes it to the door, Woodlock calls out to him. Woodlock: Hey kid! Fallen turns back, his hand on the handle. Woodlock: I'll try to put in the good word for you. Just don't make me regret it. Fallen: Thank you. I won't let you down, sir. Addenda: 3580.3: On 14/10/1978, POI-1492."Jane Woodrow", an identified member of GOI-850. Wanted for eight cases of murder. was located and captured. Because of her potential information on GOI-850's affairs, an armored van transport carrying two agents of Sigma-8 was dispatched to secure and deliver her to Area-55 for questioning. During POI-1492's transit, however, the van was intercepted by SCP-3580, who proceeded to kill all four Foundation personnel on board and capture POI-1492. Both targets managed to escape before additional forces could arrive. Because of this, Sigma-8 has been cleared for the use of augmentations sourced from trusted anomalous vendors for combat. These augments will be voluntary to operatives and will be fully covered by the Foundation. These cybernetic additions will aim to enhance agents' abilities during engagements, stimulating increased muscle capacity and speed. To: Assistant Director Samuel McManus From: Captain Mortimer Woodlock Two of mine are dead, and two of yours are dead. Samuel, I told you that divvying the team up was the wrong move. Lockdown or not, this team was built on cooperation and combined strength, not taking on the black ninja one at a time. Throwing more and more agents at this thing haphazardly isn't working. More people who are never going home won't solve anything. If you want 3580 in custody, then I need to be in control of this operation and how we go about bringing it down, not you. We can't afford another screw-up. Don't interfere with my end of this again. The following was recorded at the privately held memorial ceremony for Agents Donovan and Williams. Internal log - Woodlock and Fallen dialogue Footage is taken from an outside off-site training ground near Area-55. The remaining operatives of Sigma-8 are gathered, each holding up an umbrella to protect their cybernetic augmentations. In front of them are two photographs nailed to a tree, one depicting Agent Donovan during a party, two bottles of liquor in hand as he extends both middle fingers to the camera. The other shows Agent Williams posing with a shot-out paper target with the caption: "Accepted!!". Captain Woodlock is seated on a fold-up chair. Researcher Fallen is likewise present. After several speeches are said, he slowly makes his way over to Woodlock, standing beside him. Fallen: Hey, Captain. Woodlock: Don't do this. Fallen: Sir, I- Woodlock briefly turns. Woodlock: Kid. Fallen pauses for a moment as he begins shaking. He walks around to stand in front of Woodlock Woodlock. Fallen: Those fuckers need to pay! His shouting draws the attention of other participants. Fallen: You all know it's true. They've been killing our people for years. Years! My father died eight years ago, and now you're burying your family too! Woodlock: Stop. Fallen: No! I'm not going to sit around and wait for someone else to deal with them. To take that bitch down! She's out there, right now, doing god knows what. Hurting god knows how many people?! He takes several deep breaths. Fallen: What about your old team, Captain? Woodlock: Sit down, Leon. Fallen: What does this badge even stand for? He tugs on a Foundation emblem on his jacket. Fallen: Contain… protect? Protecting who? Containing what? People are dead, and I, I … He pauses. Fallen: Captain Mortimer, sir, I'm either going to join your team, or I'm leaving. I can't take sitting around doing nothing anymore, getting nothing done as that monster slaughters us like cattle. I just can't. He turns and quietly walks away. The others there all become silent. Due to the ongoing threat presented by SCP-3580, additional agents for Sigma-8 have been considered to replace the newly opened positions. So far, four more candidates have been chosen, and are currently undergoing training. Staff file - Leonel Fallen File photo. Name: Fallen, Leonel Maelstrom Security Clearance: 3 Employed As: Junior Researcher / Field Agent Current Assignment: Area-55 Engineering / SCP-3580 Personnel Report: Following the loss of his father, Site Director Malkin Fallen, during a containment breach, Mr. Fallen was offered a position with the Foundation after assessing his ability to adapt to the workforce and his sufficient talents and intelligence. At first, he showed a level of maturity regarding the unfortunate incident and acclimated fairly well into the Foundation. However, shortly after the death of his civilian mother, Josephine Fallen, his demeanor took a rapid decline, both in his work and his social skills, and he took up a great interest in SCP-3580's case.It is unknown how Fallen had managed to bypass the security level requirement, though it is suspected that the document was leaked by a superior member of faculty.. Presently, Mr. Fallen has submitted five separate requests to enlist in MTF Sigma-8's activities in the containment of SCP-3580. Upon the fifth attempt, the request was tentatively granted by Director Roufhous with a recommendation from Captain Mortimer Woodlock on the condition that Mr. Fallen would be closely monitored during training and engagements. Addenda: 3580.4: On 11/3/1979, SCP-3580 engaged in an assault on Area-55. [Open Security Log-3580/2/3] [Close Security Log-3580/2/3] Security log After having breached through the entrance, SCP-3580 proceeded through several hallways and junctures, eventually making it to one of the central stairways. By this time, standard MTF units have moved in, occupying and guarding populated areas as personnel make their way to security shelters. MTF Sigma-8 has now finished preparations and is now heading to intercept SCP-3580. They proceed through the 4th and 3rd sublevels of the facility, with two teams making their way to the same position to reach SCP-3580 on its path to the next stairway. SCP-3580 stops in its tracks on the 1st subfloor and pauses. Sigma-8's Alfa team, comprised of four agents, emerges from the three directions of the X intersection of the hallway several meters behind SCP-3580. They take aim. Agt. Duke: SCP-3580, surrender, and get on the ground now! It does not turn to face them. SCP-3580: Funny little men. Funny little toys. Security systems in another wing of the facility note the presence of an anomaly on the loose. Still not facing Duke's team, SCP-3580 crouches down. It maintains a fixed grip on the sword. Agt. Duke: Fire! It leaps upward, clinging to the roof for a moment before it bounds from wall to wall and floor to ceiling in the opposite direction. After four strides, its next foothold gets shot out mid-bound, and it falls to the ground, engaging a thaumic barrier as it lands which blocks most of the bullets from this side. SCP-3580: Funny, funny- The Bravo team enters the scene directly in front of it, with Captain Woodlock leading the charge. They open fire immediately, repeatedly hitting SCP-3580. It struggles as it creates another thaumic barrier in front of it. Both teams push in from each side, quickly closing in. Despite having taken several sedative rounds, SCP-3580 still clings to its sword as it attempts to stand, visibly struggling to do so. Woodlock commands both units to hold as he approaches. Agent Fallen follows beside him. Security detects that the entity is swiftly approaching this hallway. SCP-3580 rises to its feet, and stands, shakily, with its sword in hand. Cpt. Woodlock: We gotcha. He removes his sidearm and shoots at its knee. It crumples down, clinging to its sword to hold it upright. Agent Fallen walks over to the downed SCP-3580. Security monitoring personnel alert Captain Woodlock of the approaching threat. He turns his head to look down every end of the hall. Cpt. Woodlock: Crap. Everyone, positions; bodey incoming. Leon- He turns around to see Fallen standing over SCP-3580, barrel pointed at it. Agt. Fallen: This is for my father. SCP-3580: Which one was he? It chuckles lightly with a slight rasp. SCP-3580: I honestly can't remember. He strikes it over the head with the butt of his gun. Cpt. Woodlock: Whoa, kid, stop. Stop! Several operatives break formation and try to get a hold of Agent Fallen. SCP-3580-A smashes through the wall, sending bricks flying and knocking over Woodlock and Fallen. It opens fire, sweeping the left to right sides of the hall. Only three other operatives, besides Fallen and Woodlock, manage to hide behind cover in time. The entity takes SCP-3580's hand and lifts it up. SCP-3580: Took you long enough, Grand Warden. SCP-3580-A: Proxima, please- SCP-3580: Shut it. Where's the damn thing? SCP-3580-A: It's down several floors. SCP-3580: Fine, Warden. Stairs are that way, get moving. SCP-3580-A: Proxima, you are hurt. Please, let me help. SCP-3580: This doesn't concern you, Grand Warden. SCP-3580-A: Proxima- SCP-3580: I said piss off. SCP-3580-A sighs, entering through the hole in the wall while watching where it steps as it passes by the corpses of three agents. SCP-3580 raises itself to stand, despite its numerous injuries, causing it to grumble. It walks over to Fallen, who lays on the floor coughing. It picks him up by the hair and looks him in the eye. SCP-3580: Now, who did you say your daddy was again? Agt. Fallen: You fucking-motherfuckin- It slams him into a wall, holding him up by the neck off the ground. SCP-3580: That wasn't the answer I was looking for, boy. He stifles a sob. Agt. Fallen: Site Director Malkin Fallen! As he speaks, he clenches his teeth. Agt. Fallen: His name was Malkin Fallen, you fucking evil- It draws its blade. SCP-3580: -Doesn't ring a bell. It brings its blade to his stomach, leaving a gash along its surface. Fallen shouts. SCP-3580: There's not a whole lot I care for the people I encounter on these missions. Names for targets, maybe. Faces less likely. But otherwise, anyone who'll stand in my way is gonna be a fun little etching on my handle. A little treat for my practice, like your dear old pa. It brings its blade to his neck, drawing blood. He cringes, wincing. SCP-3580: But I'm surely not going to remember any of your little soldiers here today as anything other than an interesting situation, and a stain to clean off my sword. It drags him further up the wall. It looks him in the eye, grinning. SCP-3580: Especially not some whiney, hellbent brat playing pretend! It slashes through his leg, slicing it clean off. Fallen screams. SCP-3580-A: You are no soldier. You are nothing. SCP-3580 tosses him across the hall. He crashes into a pile of rebar and upturned concrete while SCP-3580 leans its shoulder on the wall and begins laughing. Captain Woodlock struggles to stand upright. He pulls out his sidearm as he advances on SCP-3580, taking several shots at it which are all blocked by miniature thaumic barriers. He quickly runs out of ammo and tries to crawl back. It turns and walks casually toward him. Its sword drags across the wall, leaving a thick cut on its surface, as it brings the weapon over its head. SCP-3580: This is… this is how it feels! SCP-3580 is stopped as its arm takes a .357 round, flailing it. Across the hall, Site Director Roufhous is seen walking towards them. Captain Woodlock backs away and tosses the pistol at SCP-3580. It catches the gun and crushes it in its hand as it refocuses on the Director. It reaches down to a device on its wrist. SCP-3580: Cascade, hurry up down there. Director Roufhous gets in front of Woodlock, pocketing the revolver as they lean on their cane. Dir. Roufhous: Mortimer, take Leonel to the infirmary. Woodlock with the help of another operative, hoists the bleeding Agent Fallen up and escorts him away from the conflict. SCP-3580 keeps its eyes on Roufhous. SCP-3580: Venator. You're still alive. Dir. Roufhous: We earned whatever you came here to reclaim. SCP-3580: Really? And what about my arms? A sound reverberates through their electronic mask. Dir. Roufhous: Good luck with that. SCP-3580 takes two steps and launches itself towards them with a slash. They parry the hit with their cane. The skirmish continues with Roufhous pressing forward. Dir. Roufhous: Weak. Uncoordinated. Slow. It brings down the katana on their cane, keeping it locked there. Roufhous pulls on the handle, revealing a hidden blade inside which they attack with. They land a strike on SCP-3580's head with the bottom end of the cane. It takes the hit before reorienting to deflect the oncoming blade. Dir. Roufhous: Hmm. You love to torment humans. Can't even keep up the offense? It jumps and skips, launching off the wall to come down on them with a wide strike. They push back and up against it, and it arcs over and lands behind them. SCP-3580: You have no right to say that, you bastard! SCP-3580 leaps forward in an instant. Roufhous swings, striking SCP-3580 in the arm, knocking the prosthetic and its sword away. It lands on its feet, grunting agitatedly, and spins around only to be struck in the side of the head by the metal handle of the cane. It slumps to the floor. Around the two, the remaining agents of Sigma-8 reveal themselves as the fight concludes. SCP-3580 speaks with a mild groan. SCP-3580: After everything you did. Dir. Roufhous: I have every right, witch. They turn to face the two remaining operatives. Dir. Roufhous: You lads handle her. Do not let her out of your sight. They disappear and instantly reappear.This is attributable to Director Roufhous' illusory anomaly. at the end of the hallway, pursuing SCP-3580-A. Subsequently, SCP-3580-A made its way through several sublevels of the facility, later reaching the floor where all materials on GOI-850 had been stockpiled. Security systems showed it passing by several items of interest, instead moving to the back of the containment area and solely claiming one document contained within a canister. It then proceeded to make its way back through the facility, avoiding contact with all personnel along its way, and was eventually confronted by Captain Woodlock. Attached below is the recording of that incident. Security log SCP-3580-A is charging down a hallway, continuously bursting through shutting doors and reinforced gates with some effort. It holds the artifact close to its chest as it runs. As it breaks through another barrier, it is met with Captain Woodlock pointing his rifle at it. It stops. SCP-3580-A: You. I hope your recovery was swift. Cpt. Woodlock: It wasn't. In fact, it was pretty slow and it was pretty painful. SCP-3580-A: I see. My deepest apologies. Cpt. Woodlock: I don't accept. Put it down. SCP-3580-A: You're severely outgunned here, my friend. A shotgun is racked, and its barrel is tapped against the back of SCP-3580-A's head. Dir. Roufhous: Likewise. SCP-3580-A: Deeply unfortunate. Cpt. Woodlock: Yeah, I'd say that's about right. Now- It brings its arm forward first and slams its elbow into Roufhous, sending them backward. Woodlock takes several shots at it, which do not appear to penetrate its armor. It repositions to target Woodlock but is stopped as Roufhous stabs into SCP-3580-A's gun with their blade. It tries repeatedly to swat them off with its free hand to no avail. They aim their shotgun at its chest and take several shots in quick succession, causing it to stagger. SCP-3580-A manages to unjam its gun and brings it around to Woodlock. Woodlock aims the rifle at its face and takes a shot. The bullet pierces its frontal plating. It roars as it stumbles back. Roufhous gets down behind it and fires at the back of its knees. It falls on its back, cracking the linoleum floor beneath it, still clinging to the canister. Woodlock runs over and places his full weight on SCP-3580-A's gun. Roufhous kneels down, placing the barrel of the shotgun directly atop its head. Woodlock reaches down, grasping his radio. Cpt. Woodlock: Boys, get down here now, Sub-7, Hall-8! Hurry! SCP-3580-A: Greatly… unfortunate. It takes multiple deep breaths; the duration of these surpassing human capabilities. SCP-3580-A: However, there is, perhaps, one problem. Woodlock levels his rifle at its head. Cpt. Woodlock: Fuck you mean? A beep sounds from its wrist. It chuckles. SCP-3580-A: Did you forget? She has with her some rather magical hands. A rift opens on the ceiling, and a bloodstained SCP-3580 falls through. In its singular remaining prosthetic, it carries its sword. As it falls, it kicks Woodlock sending him flying back, and stabs Roufhous in the torso, sending them to the floor. SCP-3580 laughs wildly. SCP-3580: Pitiful! Just as pitiful as the rest! SCP-3580-A gets to its feet, struggling with its wounds. SCP-3580-A: Proxima, enough. It is finished. SCP-3580: I don't answer to you, Grand Warden. SCP-3580-A: More than enough blood has been shed. We can leave now. We must leave now before more arrive. SCP-3580: We can kill them too. It's of little concern. SCP-3580-A stomps, cracking the floor beneath it with a loud crash. SCP-3580-A: Proxima, enough! Dir. Roufhous: Oh, sure, you can kill them all if you resort to the lowliest of maneuvers, much like a child too afraid of serious confrontation! A sound echoes through their mask before SCP-3580 pulls its sword out. It takes the blade and strikes their mask, causing it to shatter and spill blood. SCP-3580-A: Inquisitor Ramexe, open the gateway so that we may leave this place. SCP-3580: Fine! It stands and creates a thaumic symbol with two fingers in the air. It draws an incantation, creating an elaborate rune of golden sparkling light that expands to a diameter roughly two meters long, its interior depicting another location. SCP-3580: Satisfied, Warden? SCP-3580-A: We leave. Do not delay. It steps through the portal and stands on the other end, awaiting SCP-3580. SCP-3580 looks down at Roufhous. SCP-3580: Burn in Hell, Venator. Woodlock finally gets to his feet and aims his rifle at SCP-3580. Cpt. Woodlock: Hold it! It looks over at him and laughs. SCP-3580: We've been through this many times already; bullets won't work, little soldier. Woodlock pulls back the charging handle of the rifle. Cpt. Woodlock: Think you're good enough to keep up two spells at once? You wanna take that chance with just the one hand? SCP-3580 crouches down. It is silent for several seconds. SCP-3580: That child back there was cross with me, wasn't he? His father - he said the man was a manager of one of these branches. Cpt. Woodlock: Site Director Malkin Fallen. SCP-3580: That's the one. Director, funny. Funny what kinds of honors they bestow upon you honorless batches of men. Junior, senior, lead researcher. Operative, agent, commander, captain. Cpt. Woodlock: Kill that portal- It grabs Roufhous and hurls their body towards Woodlock, who holds his fire as he is knocked down. It dashes after the portal. Woodlock takes several wild shots at it, all miss. It makes it through and the portal closes right after. Cpt. Woodlock: Son of a bitch! He looks around. Director Roufhous has disappeared. The document stolen during this incident has been identified as half of an incantation capable of instantly transporting undefined amounts of matter from one location to another, at great expense to the caster. The remainder of this document beforehand remained unaccounted for. The whereabouts of Site Director Roufhous are currently unknown. Assistant Director Samuel has assumed some of their duties over Area-55 in their absence. Finding and containing SCP-3580 has been declared Priority Level ALPHA. The classification of this situation as a crisis is pending. Addenda: 3580.5: On 12/3/1979, a search effort across all known anomalous channels began, attempting to locate SCP-3580. Since this time, no new activity has been noted for either entity, and their current location remains unknown. Retroactive investigations revealed several reports for both entities among other paranormal agencies, with accounts usually including violent depictions but lacked applicable information. No throughline has been established with sightings of either anomaly, and few identifying details could be found. This venture is ongoing, and increased funds and resources have been allocated to this project; worldwide locating is ongoing, and the O5 Council has been alerted to this issue. After the events of 11/3/1979, Agent Leonel Fallen was brought into intensive care and remained unconscious for a period of four days. He later awoke on the 15th and stabilized on the 20th. The operatives who died during that incident have been awarded Foundation Stars of Bravery, and their families have been notified and compensated. Internal log - Woodlock, Samuel, and Fallen dialogue Agent Fallen is lying in a medical bed, Captain Woodlock at his side. Woodlock is looking down, stroking a photograph with his thumb. The image depicts the fully assembled Sigma-8. Fallen: Both of them. At once. Woodlock: Right when we had her. Fallen: Just when I was about to… Woodlock: You were out of line. Fallen: But if I did manage to do it? Woodlock: Then you'd be demoted. Fallen: And the fat bastard wouldn't have escaped. Neither would she. Woodlock sighs, staring ahead blankly. Woodlock: We blew it. Fallen: If I was quicker to the trigger. Woodlock: I could have positioned the team better. Prepared you all better. He puts his elbow on the table at his side and leans on it. Fallen: The turnout would have been the same. You did all you could, sir. Woodlock: It sure doesn't feel like it. The two are silent; the only noise heard is the beeping of the nearby machinery. A knocking is heard on the door. Woodlock stands up and walks over to open it, and Interim Director Samuel steps inside. Samuel: Mortimer. Leon. Woodlock: What do you want now? Samuel: Besides the obvious, I wanted to discuss the future of Sigma-8. Perhaps we should do this in private. Fallen: What's the damage? Samuel: Fine then. Your team has proven highly ineffective in this case, Mortimer. Each deployment has displayed high casualties but no results. Higher-up, more professional task forces are being discussed for your replacement. Woodlock: What's to be done with us? Samuel: You will receive no further funding for augmentations, training, equipment, or otherwise. The remaining operatives will be reassigned, and they will have to forfeit their augments to cover the cost created by this experiment. Woodlock: And myself? Samuel: The Foundation has noticed that you showed exemplary bravery during the latest incident; going in without your team and living to tell the tale and all. You showed satisfactory professionalism during it, and your judgment did not appear to be overly influenced by your past. You will be reassigned to whatever task force takes over for this project. Fallen: What about me? Samuel: You displayed the opposite and acted aggressively and irrationally. You will be returned to junior research activities, and your enhancements will be surgically removed. Fallen: That thing cut off my fucking leg! Samuel: After you directly disclosed your personal history with it and attempted to terminate it without proper authorization. Fallen: Termina- We haven't even contained it yet! Samuel: And now that affair will be handled by more capable hands. The Foundation thanks you for your service and wishes you a swift recovery. Fallen: Get out. Samuel: Watch your tone, researcher. He turns to Woodlock. Samuel: Mortimer, these are for you. He hands Woodlock a file of papers. After doing so, he collects a report from Fallen's bedframe and heads to the door, exiting the room. Woodlock briefly looks over the papers before tossing them over onto a nearby table. Woodlock: They got bupkis. Fallen: We worked for months to capture those two- Woodlock: And they reassigned us when we just weren't fit for the job. I'm sure they'll put some real good teams on it, kid. Fallen: And I'll never know with a shitty junior researcher clearance level. Woodlock: It's in good hands now. Fallen: We thought we were good hands at first too. Woodlock: We did. We were. Maybe if we still had our mage… Fallen: You don't seem all that phased that the fucker- Woodlock: Quit swearing. Fallen huffs. Fallen: That the fuckers who killed your team are just walking away scot-free right now! Woodlock: Knock it off. Fallen: While we sit here on our asses being told off by some dickhead in a suit who didn't lose shit his entire life, that bitch is out there killing and butchering and making some more orphans! Woodlock: Agent Leonel- Fallen: Ex-agent, Captain! The Captain stands. Woodlock: Agent Leonel Maelstrom Fallen, shut your goddamned trap for once! Fallen leans up in bed. Woodlock takes several deep breaths. Woodlock: Look, we both have problems. People are dead. You don't need to keep reminding me every five minutes just to support whatever bullshit point you're trying to make. Either move on or fall behind, but don't make me have to carry your shitty little emotions on my back as well! Woodlock: Man up! He picks up the documents, walks to the door, and heads out. Fallen watches him leave. He visibly strains himself for a moment, thrashing his fists to a limited extent, before trying his best to turn away. His hands move over his face. On 13/3/1979, MTF Sigma-8 ("Hellbound Cavalry") was disbanded. The remaining agents of it, namely operatives Fallen and Woodlock, have been reassigned. Authorization for the deployment of Tau-5 ("Samsara") is pending. Authorization for the deployment of Alpha-1 ("Red Right Hand") is pending. Nu-7 ("Hammer Down") has been called in for the time being. Addenda: 3580.6: EMERGENCY NOTICE An ongoing containment breach of SCP-3580 and SCP-3580-A is in effect. Several Mobile Task Forces have been deployed to contain the incident. The situation is being monitored. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3580" by Roufhous, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3580.

SCP-3581	neutralized	Rendition of SCP-3581 broken from an incomplete mural. Artist(s) unknown. Item #: SCP-3581 Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-3581 is long deceased, and any remains are yet to be recovered, interest of outside sources towards SCP-3581 is negligible. Information surrounding SCP-3581 is to continue to be perpetuated as a local folk tale in the region of Ukraine where it was discovered. The archaeological site near Artsyz, Ukraine will continue to be monitored by Foundation agents until the conclusion of the project. In the event that any further relevant information is discovered, the Foundation is to seize the assets by means of purchase or redistribution. Description: Based on descriptions and depictions from recovered artifacts, SCP-3581 is believed to have been a Meleagris gallopavo, or domestic turkey. Notably, this species is exclusively native to North America. The manner in which one of its members became relocated to modern day Ukraine is unknown, but thaumaturgical tampering is suspected. Recovered artifacts related to SCP-3581 have been dated to around 510 A.D., and suggest that it was a member of a small and short-lived independent civilization with a culture influenced by the teachings of the Sarkic Cults.1 Despite having been a domesticated animal, SCP-3581 was not used as livestock, and seems to have held a respectable position in society. Though it was originally acquired for the former purpose, it was spared upon having been adopted by an influential woman, and eventually became a local celebrity. Historical texts also point to SCP-3581, named “Corneliu” by its adoptive family, having been sapient, though the extent of this cannot be verified by current records. According to translated historical records, a combination of droughts and relative isolation caused a period of famine that lasted for ten months in the city in which SCP-3581 resided. Despite having been a member of an upper-class family and therefore not at immediate risk of starvation, SCP-3581 willingly chose to sacrifice itself to provide food for starving families. However, according to translated documents, this occurred by SCP-3581 “[lighting] itself aflame and [dispersing]… such that cooked meats rained from the sky into baskets waiting below.” Whether this is an accurate representation of events or exaggerated praise by a historian is currently unknown. Although the sacrifice of SCP-3581 is believed to have prevented many deaths by starvation, no other historical records of the city have been dated past 570 A.D., and it is likely that within the following decades, emigration and other factors caused the small civilization to inevitably divide. Addendum: The following is a partial translation of a recovered document relating to SCP-3581. For the complete texts, refer to the section on “Sedasa” in the Ancient Eurasian Civilizations and Cities SCPFN Archive. As promised, Corneliu stepped from his home and trodded solemnly down the path to the gathering place. A few people who had come to pay their respects waited with sharpened knives, believing that he would ask to be slaughtered. But when he stopped, with a few clicks of his beak and tongue he lit aflame and dispersed into ashes, and the smoke from his feathers lifted such that cooked meats rained from the sky into baskets waiting below. It is unsure where or how he learned this trick; the magicians could not answer when asked. Corneliu’s flesh proved to be quite abundant for an animal of his size, and it has been a saving grace to the families who believed that they would starve. Not much remained of Corneliu’s body when the flames died out, but the salvageable ashes and remains were placed into a box and buried beneath the floor of his home.2 Footnotes 1. For information relating to the Sarkic Cults, refer to the associated GOI file. 2. The location of the house in which SCP-3581 supposedly lived and was buried has been thoroughly searched; an empty, aged wooden box was discovered buried mere centimeters beneath the surface. Forensic trace results were inconclusive, however, fragments of other bones found on-site appear to correspond to the Meleagris genus
SCP-3582	keter	Accessing file SCP-3582… Attention: this SCP file contains multiple iterations. Do you wish to view the most recent iteration? y/n Input: n Do you wish to view iterations sequentially? y/n Input: y Understood. Accessing SCP-3582 iteration 1, file date 3/15/2023… Item #: SCP-3582 Special Containment Procedures: Area-3582 has been established around a perimeter encompassing the area currently affected by SCP-3582. Civilian presence is prohibited within 3 kilometres of Area-3582 under the cover story of a military testing base. A total of 250 Scranton Reality Anchors are placed at 30 meter intervals along the perimeter surrounding SCP-3582. Under no circumstances are non-D-Class personnel to enter SCP-3582. Any Foundation equipment or personnel affected by SCP-3582 are to be considered lost. Description: SCP-3582 is a spacial phenomenon encompassing a roughly circular area of approximately 36 square kilometres in Mitchell County, Georgia. The affected area, and all buildings, objects, and animals within it, are subject to random and sporadic reality alterations. Observed alterations include: transformation of terrain to erratic, unnatural, and often non-Euclidean geometry. spontaneous manifestation of individual non-anomalous objects and animals. It is of note that the point of manifestation is not affected by pre-existing geometry; this can result in the intersection and displacement of solid matter. spontaneous replacement of individual objects and animals with non-anomalous analogs of the same variety. Hume readings of SCP-3582’s area of effect are wildly inconsistent; Hume levels range from the baseline of 1 to 7 13 34 72. At the current rate of exponentiation, it is estimated that Scranton Reality Anchors will become ineffective in mitigating the effects of SCP-3582 by 6/22/2024. Keter reclassification is under consideration. Addendum 3582.1: Timeline of notable events The following is a list of several notable anomalous events within SCP-3582 taking place between its discovery and 3/15/2023. Event Date Event Description 1/27/2021 Initial discovery of SCP-3582, following reports of unusual activity in the area. Initial containment procedures enacted. 2/10/2021 Anomalous shifting of approximately 3 square kilometres within SCP-3582 to erratic and jagged terrain; mild damage to equipment within the area sustained. First major effects of SCP-3582 observed by Foundation personnel. 11/23/2021 Spontaneous manifestation of 12 large ash trees during routine scouting, causing the deaths of 2 D-class personnel who were encased within a tree on its manifestation. 4/10/2022 Manifestation of 3 female cows; one appeared almost completely underground and subsequently died of blood loss due to its body being displaced by surrounding dirt, one died after falling from approximately 15 meters above ground, and one was unharmed. All specimens were tested and found to be completely non-anomalous. 10/19/2022 One D-class personnel inspecting the manifestation of a Ford brand pickup truck was spontaneously replaced by a man in his mid-forties wearing dirty farm clothes. The subject panicked and became violent upon coming into contact with Area-3582 staff and was subsequently terminated. This is the first observed occurrence of SCP-3582 directly affecting a human. 1/12/2023 Following a momentary loss of power to on-site SRAs1, approximately 200 tons of clay and dirt manifested within a section of Area-3582, resulting in the deaths of 18 Foundation personnel. SCP-3582 exclusion zone was expanded and containment procedures were revised. Update 8/16/2023: Based on recent events, the above documentation has been rendered outdated. Please proceed to SCP-3582 file iteration 2. Accessing SCP-3582 Iteration 2, file date 6/4/2024… + Access SCP-3582 Iteration 2 - Close File Item #: SCP-3582 Special Containment Procedures: All new instances of SCP-3582-1 are to be documented and the affected areas to be, if possible, evacuated and quarantined. Both Foundations and cooperative Groups of Interest are to put forth collaborative efforts to stop, and potentially reverse, SCP-3582. Description: SCP-3582 is a spacial phenomenon encompassing an exponentially increasing percentage of earth's surface area. The affected area, and all buildings, objects, and animals within it, are subject to random and sporadic reality alterations.2 Observed alterations include: transformation of terrain to cohesive, smooth, non anomalous geometry. spontaneous manifestation of individual non-anomalous objects and animals. It is of note that the point of manifestation is affected by pre-existing geometry; this prevents the intersection of manifesting objects and pre-existing terrain. spontaneous replacement of individual objects and animals with non-anomalous analogs of the same variety. transformation of affected humans into SCP-3582-Σ instances (see below). SCP-3582-Σ denotes humans affected by SCP-3582. Rather than being completely replaced by similar analogs, they are mentally and physically altered to what is seemingly a fusion of their previous identities and an unknown alternate identity. In 40 percent of cases, this results in minor brain damage, with 7 percent of cases resulting in severe brain damage or death. SCP-3582 is currently theorized to be an ongoing intersection between this universe and a near identical iteration of it, henceforth referred to as “Öẞ-Class Multi-Universal Amalgamation Scenario”. The exact nature and origin of SCP-3582 are as of yet unknown. Measurements taken of interstellar phenomena assumed to be caused by SCP-3582 reveal that the initial collision occurred roughly 4 billion years ago. SCP-3582-1 is the collective designation for all areas affected by SCP-3582. See supplementary document 3582-1.L for an unabridged listing of all known locations. As of 6/4/2024, 26 percent of the earth has been covered by SCP-3582 and has been converted to SCP-3582-1. Researcher Note 6/23/2024: The rate of manifestation and expansion of SCP-3582-1 zones keeps increasing. We've lost contact with the containment staff of most of the other 3582-1 containment areas. I'd like to keep up clinical tone, but I don't think anyone who cares is ever going to see this. I can't even get through to O5 command, and Site Director Walters locked himself in his office a couple days ago. Most populated areas started to collapse a couple months ago. Before we all locked up in the site, I could see the flames of rioters and crumbling buildings in the distance. I don't think we have much time left before 3582 gets here too. Our backup power isn't enough to support the SRAs, so I can't be certain, but I can feel reality starting to fall apart around me. The few SCPs we had here have been decommissioned. Most researchers still here have resigned themselves to death, and I'm close to that as well. I don't see anything else there is to do at this point. Maybe the next world will have a better run. - Dr. Hana Winters, Site 37 [ERROR: LOSS OF POWER. LOGGING OUT OF SCiPNET…] Footnotes 1. The cause of this power loss is unknown. 2. The rate of alterations has steadily risen since the discovery of SCP-3582. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3582" by WinterShadow, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3583	euclid	Item #: SCP-3583 Special Containment Procedures: As all attempts to take SCP-3583 into custody have resulted in it decohering into its component parts, and a new instance manifesting within three days, containment is focused on supervising its behavior, and on information control. Foundation personnel have been embedded among the employees of SCP-3583's preferred school; for monitoring purposes, 3 Foundation personnel are to embark on SCP-3583 at the end of each school day. Except for purposes of approved experimentation into Behavior Pattern SCP-3583-2, no more than 4 personnel are to embark. Standard Internet-monitoring bots have been set to watch video-sharing sites for further copies of videos made from within SCP-3583; all such copies are to be taken down. Description: SCP-3583 is a schoolbus which displays multiple anomalous properties, the most evident of which is that it is autonomous.1 As well, close inspection reveals that it is composed of a wide variety of mismatched schoolbus parts, held together by an unknown force. SCP-3583 associates itself with [REDACTED] Public School, in the town of [REDACTED], Oklahoma. At 3:20pm each school day, SCP-3583 manifests in a random location in the bus zone outside the school, opens its door, and waits 7 minutes. During this interval, a maximum of 56 children may embark of their own volition (a maximum of 8 adults will also be able to embark, with each adult apparently being considered equal to two children). If, after 7 minutes, SCP-3583 does not contain its desired number of passengers, it begins to honk its horn. This produces a cognitohazardous effect whereby all children within hearing range will enter a fugue state, abandon their other activities, and embark on SCP-3583. If there are insufficient children within hearing range, the horn will become progressively louder. Once SCP-3583 contains its desired number of passengers, it will demanifest from the bus zone and enter an anomalous region of space (henceforth SCP-3583-A). SCP-3583-A is recognizably based on the town of [REDACTED], but with multiple divergences, including but not limited to violent civil unrest, seismic and volcanic activity, frequent high-voltage electrical discharges, inconsistent gravity, building fires, predatory megafauna, open military conflict with public mass executions, and animate cadavers of varying degrees of decomposition and mutilation. In SCP-3583-A, SCP-3583 will engage in one of two distinct behavior patterns, depending on how many adults are present. Behavior pattern 1 (0-4 adults): SCP-3583 will drive through SCP-3583-A until it reaches the counterpart of an individual child's residence.2 There, it will return to normal space, and allow the child to disembark. It will then return to SCP-3583-A, proceed to the counterpart of another child's residence, and continue in this fashion until all the children have disembarked; afterward, it will deliver any adults to their individual residences in the same fashion. Once the last adult has disembarked, SCP-3583 will demanifest. Behavior pattern 2 (5-8 adults): SCP-3583 will emerge from SCP-3583-A at the sites of historic mass casualty events (identified sites include the World Trade Center, Khao Lak, Pompeii, and Nanjing) in the days or weeks prior to their occurrence.3 SCP-3583 will then drive around the site for between 45 and 150 minutes, after which it will engage in Behavior Pattern 1. Interview log 3583-08F2X; interview subject: Principal ████████ Principal ████████: We expected you a lot sooner. We sent a half-dozen reports back when it first showed up. What took you so long? Agent Patel: Uh, we looked into it, and it turns out that, uh, somewhere along the line – before they got to us, I should emphasize – the reports were processed by a person who decided you were, uh, intoxicated and hallucinating. Principal ████████: …that son of a bitch. That son of a bitch! I'll have you know I've been clean for fifteen years five months! Who's the bastard who says I fell off the wagon? Was it [REDACTED]? Agent Patel: Really, I'm sorry, I can't tell you that. I don't actually know, and even if I did I couldn't tell you. Principal ████████: <sigh> Okay, fine. So if it wasn't our reports, how'd you find out about it? Agent Patel: Some of the kids started posting videos online. Principal ████████: Oh shit. Agent Patel: Yeah, tell me about it. Took us a good week to scrub them all. Principal ████████: You can do that? Agent Patel: We can do a lot of stuff. Principal ████████: But not actually stop it from coming back, I guess. Agent Patel: Well… doesn't look like it, no. Principal ████████: How far did you get it before it fell apart? Agent Patel: The first time, we actually got it into the secured garage. But now it lets go as soon as we've hauled it off the school property. Principal ████████: I could've warned you, y'know. We did try getting rid of it ourselves, at first. Clamped its wheels and towed it off to the dump. Poof, bus parts all over the road. Agent Patel: One of our people suggested we legally expand your school's area, see if that'd do anything, but– Principal ████████: Oh, is that why there were surveyors all over the place last month? Agent Patel: Yeah, we figured it'd be a good idea to start small before we got into expropriating all your neighbors. Didn't make a difference, but, uh, enjoy your extra 1000 square feet. Principal ████████: Ha. Of all the things I expected from you Men-in-Black assholes, space for a new playground wasn't one of them. Halfway thought you might shut us down! Agent Patel: We did seriously consider that, actually. Principal ████████: … oh. Agent Patel: But if we do that, if you're not here, it might just find some other school. We can't take that risk. So we'll embed some of our people in your staff, to keep an eye on it. Principal ████████: How many? Agent Patel: Uh… probably not more than six? Principal ████████: I don't have the budget for that. Agent Patel: No, we'll handle their salaries. Principal ████████: Huh. Must be nice. Agent Patel: Uh… I guess so? Anyway, before I leave, I wanted to thank you. Principal ████████: Hm? Agent Patel: For being so reasonable about this. A lot of the time, if we have to leave the, uh, anomaly on site, the locals get upset. Principal ████████: Well, yeah. If we really wanted it gone, we wouldn't have stopped reporting it. Agent Patel: My bosses'll want an explanation for that. Principal ████████: You can't just tell 'em we don't mind having it here? Agent Patel: Hey, come on. Would you accept that? Principal ████████: <sigh> Look. Whatever it is, it pretty clearly wants to be a schoolbus. And it's not doing that bad a job. I mean, hell dimension aside, it's got a perfect safety record. Been doing this five years, and it's never so much as had a kid get hurt in a fight. I've had living drivers who can't say that. And… okay, look, can I be honest with you? Agent Patel: Please do? Principal ████████: Do you realize how much a schoolbus costs? Just the bus, not even counting the fuel and the maintenance and the driver? With what we've saved since this thing showed up, we were able to hire a music teacher. Footnotes 1. The driver's seat is empty at all times, and an unknown force prevents it from being occupied; similarly, the steering wheel and brake and accelerator pedals do not respond to manipulation. 2. Although standard schoolbus dropoff points exist, SCP-3583 ignores them. 3. Passengers have been able to ping Foundation satellites and servers as applicable, but satellite and server records from the relevant eras do not indicate the pings in question; similarly, video taken from within SCP-3583 has been found to be a 100% match for all available historical footage, but no such footage has been found to contain SCP-3583. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3583" by Voct, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3584	euclid	Item #: SCP-3584 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3584 instances are kept in a specialized greenhouse in Site-892 with windows only on the roof, and watered as appropriate. Direct images of SCP-3584 are only to be viewed by already-affected personnel. Description: SCP-3584 is a patch of anomalously tall (25-35 m) dandelions (Taraxacum officinale). SCP-3584 instances are a potent cognitohazard: subjects who view SCP-3584 or images of it begin to perceive all plants as mechanical constructs over the course of several weeks, beginning with SCP-3584 itself, and gradually progressing to the rest of the plant kingdom. For example, affected subjects report seeing pipes and wires in place of roots, corrugated metal sheets in place of bark, and crude solar panels for leaves. Due to SCP-3584's anomaly, all images and scans of them are perceived as being of an aluminum and steel dandelion-shaped machine. Samples taken by blindfolded personnel and analyzed by researchers unaware of SCP-3584 show it to be genetically identical to ordinary dandelions. Two to four months after initial exposure, subjects' perception of plants is further corrupted to include all other senses. Affected D-class instructed to cut open SCP-3584 stalks require the use of welding tools. Subjects at this stage nearly always switch to an all-meat diet and avoid plant-sourced fabrics like cotton or hemp. Subjects who continue to consume plants following exposure eventually die of metal poisoning or internal bleeding. Autopsies by both affected and unaffected researchers reveal the presence of small metal root-like wires growing in the subject's body. Addendum: A large section of forest 2 km from Site-892 became filled with dandelions and suddenly collapsed, while several SCP-3584 stalks simultaneously withered and fell. SCP-3584-affected personnel were sent out alongside field recon teams for research purposes. A sinkhole approximately 200 meters wide had opened, and was filled with dandelion flowers and pine tree trunks. Large amounts of smoke emanated from the hole with no visible source. Field agents found no evidence of either geological activity that would lead to sinkholes, nor gravitational, spatial or botanical anomalies other than an abnormally high density of roots. SCP-3584-affected personnel present reported viewing the fallen tree trunks as large smokestacks and cooling towers, and the roots as pipes and tubes extending far underground. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3584" by Weryllium, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3585	safe	Item #: SCP-3585 Special Containment Procedures: Each instance of SCP-3585 is stored in a separate standard item containment locker. Each locker is to be equipped with a basic motion tracking camera. If movement above two meters is detected within a thirty day period a Ventura Event will be initiated by Foundation personnel. All suggested testing of SCP-3585 must be approved by two Level 3 personnel. Any banned materials included in suggested testing materials will result in immediate denial. The list of banned materials is found in document 3585-291. Description: SCP-3585 is a set of nine, thirty-four centimeter tall, plush toys depicting slightly exaggerated representations of various animals. Animals represented by SCP-3585 consist of: SCP-3585-A a fennec fox SCP-3585-B an American bullfrog SCP-3585-C a striped skunk SCP-3585-D a white tailed deer SCP-3585-E a tiger SCP-3585-F a long eared Hedgehog SCP-3585-G a common potoo SCP-3585-H a red legged sun squirrel SCP-3585-I a red legged sun squirrel Each SCP-3585 has an attached tag reading on one side as follows: DR.WONDERTAINMENT® MURDER MYSTERY MATES© On the reverse side the tag reads as follows: SURFACE WASHABLE ALL NEW MATERIALS POLYESTER FIBERS & PLASTIC PELLETS MADE IN INDONESIA When located in the same room all instances of SCP-3585 become both fully sapient and capable of independent motion. Once in this state SCP-3585-D will approach human individuals in the room, and vocalize an offer to begin a Ventura event. The process through which SCP-3585-D makes this vocalization is currently unknown. If all human subjects refuse, all instances of SCP-3585 will return to an inactive state. If a human subject accepts, SCP-3585-D instances will ask that all humans leave the room. Upon the room being evacuated by all entities except for SCP-3585 instances, the SCP-3585 instances will use all materials available in the room to construct a representation of a murder crime scene. The process by which the SCP-3585 instances manipulate the materials is currently unknown. A seemingly random SCP-3585 instance shall be used as the murder victim in question. This instance has never been documented to be SCP-3585-D. In 5% of all Ventura Events, these crime scenes have matched a documented murder case. Once the scene has been created1 the human individuals who agreed to participate in the Ventura Event will be invited back into the room. Once the room contains all individuals who agreed to participate in the Ventura Event SCP-3585-D will explain the rules of the Ventura Event.2 The individuals will then be given ten hours to decide which SCP-3585 instance is playing the part of the murderer. If the proper SCP-3585 instance is guessed by the end of the ten hours SCP-3585-D will vocalize congratulations on a job well done, and give them a plastic novelty sheriff's badge. If the proper SCP-3585 instance was not chosen as the murderer all instances will deactivate without vocalization. At the end of the Ventura Event all damaged SCP-3585 instances will revert to the state they were in before activation. Addendum: The following is a sample of past testing on Ventura Events. Date: 6/29/10 Room: Standard testing chamber. Participants: D-31937 (Male, 27) Materials Provided: None Brief Overview of Resulting Ventura Event: While D-31937 was waiting outside of the testing chamber, SCP-3585 instances stood in a circle for five minutes. At the end of the five minutes SCP-3585-C fell to the ground, and the rest of the SCP-3585 instances excluding SCP-3585-D began to move around the fallen SCP-3585-C simulating panic. SCP-3585-D moved to the door to the testing chamber, and knocked against the door three times while vocalizing the words 'We're done.' Upon entering the chamber D-31937 was given an explanation of the rules. He was told that he had ten hours to find out which SCP-3585 instance had killed SCP-3585-C. He was informed that everyone in the room would cooperate as long as the information being asked for didn't give them away as being a possible suspect, but all of them would have clear signs of when they were trying to deceive D-31937. D-31937 started by questioning SCP-3585-D. He was told that SCP-3585-C had been walking home the night prior with SCP-3585-A, and that SCP-3585-D had no information beyond that. Upon questioning SCP-3585-A, D-31937 was given the information that SCP-3585-C had been attacked by a dark and green being while they were walking home, and passing by the river. During this conversation SCP-3585-A had its ears placed over the plastic representing its eyes, and was letting out occasional sobbing sounds. This behavior ceased at the end of questioning. After examining SCP-3585-C for approximately four minutes, D-31937 noticed that SCP-3585-C was as he described it 'unusually wet'. At the thirty minute mark, D-31937 declared that he believed the murderer to be SCP-3585-B. After this declaration all SCP-3585 instances fell to the ground with no vocalization. Additional notes: Test was to see what would happen if the SCP-3585 instances were not given any materials to work with. Date: 8/24/10 Room: Standard testing chamber. Participants: D-93482 (Female, 36) Materials Provided: Twenty-two wooden planks, a box of forty nails, and two hammers. Brief Overview of Resulting Ventura Event: SCP-3585 instances stand in a circle for five minutes. At the end of the five minutes SCP-3585-A, SCP-3585-B, and SCP-3585-G began construction of a small wooden structure similar in design to a style house. The other instances of SCP-3585 remained away from the building area, and began to vocalize sounds of heavy construction equipment. The building was completed lacking a front wall, and the excess materials were put to the side of the structure. Inside of the structure SCP-3585-G had been nailed to an interior wall in a way resembling crucifixion. At this point SCP-3585-D once again moved to the door, and repeated its previous behavioral patterns signifying that the Ventura Event was ready for participants. The rules were the same as the previous tests. D-93482 entered into the room, and began to examine the built structure. D-92482 seemed discouraged upon noticing the state that SCP-3585-G was currently in, and asked for the game to stop. SCP-3585-G pulled itself out of the wall, and upon hitting the ground ended its activation along side all other SCP-3585 instances. The damage SCP-3585-G received due to the crucifixion was missing when it was examined after the test. Additional Notes: Test was to demonstrate the building capabilities of SCP-3585 instances. D-93482 was disciplined for ending the testing early without approval. First example of a Ventura Event ending before a guess was made as to which SCP-3585 instance the murderer was. Date: 11/29/10 Room: Standard testing chamber Participants: D-97921 (Male, 54, Previously employed as a detective.) Materials Provided: Paper, a clipboard, twenty wooden planks, box of nails, two golden plated watches, one ceremonial knife, a bottle of spring water, and three day old fresh bread. Brief Overview of Resulting Ventura Event: Upon entering the room to begin the Ventura Event D-97921 was approached by SCP-3585-D. Instead of the normal vocalization SCP-3585-D gave D-97921 the plastic novelty sheriff badge given to individuals who correctly guessed during an Ventura Event. SCP-3585-D then congratulated D-97921 on a job well done, and fell to the ground in a pattern identical to the response given upon correct guess during an Ventura Event. Additional Notes: All tests done with personnel who previously had a background in law enforcement have ended in this manner, suggesting that nothing more can be gained from testing individuals with this type of background in conjunction with SCP-3585. Footnotes 1. This process has taken between ten minutes and five days in past Ventura Events. 2. These rules have had 89 recorded variations. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3585" by surbet11, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3585.

SCP-3586	euclid	After the completion of each meal, any excess seagulls are to be removed and released into the wild. SCP-3586 and several duplicates during a containment breach on ██/██/████. Item #: SCP-3586 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3586 is to be kept in a standard avian containment chamber, modified to be able to withstand up to 5 atmospheres of internal pressure. No edible materials are to be introduced into the cell other than designated meals. After the completion of each meal, any excess seagulls are to be removed and released into the wild. SCP-3586 is to have a tracking tag placed around one of its ankles at all times. SCP-3586 is to be fed twice per day, with meals consisting exclusively of food items considered "high quality", which must each meet the following criteria: Meal must cost at least a total of 30 USD1 3 personnel must compliment the meal and chef responsible for creating the meal for 5 minutes each before introduction to SCP-3586 Meal must be prepared by a chef with an exceedingly positive reputation Meal portions must be presented on a clean porcelain dish with ornamentive etchings and polished silverware, with individual portions weighing no more than 70 grams Description: SCP-3586 is an adult male seagull2. It measures 29 cm tall and weighs 0.4 kg. Physically, SCP-3586 is indistinguishable from any non-anomalous seagull and is capable of flight and all other properties commonly associated with seagulls. SCP-3586 will self-replicate upon ingesting any form of food, with the amount of duplicates inversely proportional to the perceived quality of the food item. It is noted that seagulls created by SCP-3586 display no anomalous properties and as such should be considered non-anomalous. The seagulls are created by rapidly emerging from the body of SCP-3586, with emergence speed proportional to total amount of seagulls. Factors confirmed to have an effect on duplication include: Rarity of ingredients Monetary value of the dish Reputation of the person/persons/establishment responsible for creation of the dish Number of times the dish has been complimented in the past 24 hours Cleanliness of dish and dining area Portion size, with smaller size regarded as "higher quality" SCP-3586 has shown no preference for any foodstuffs over others, regardless of quality, and will simply consume any edible matter present in no particular order. SCP-3586 has also demonstrated an accelerated metabolism, capable of digesting materials approximately six times faster than a normal organism, regardless of the amount of food consumed. The exact amount of duplicate seagulls generated is inconsistent, with variations of up to 18% in either direction. Eating high-quality food has yielded a recorded maximum of 3 seagulls, with the highest amount of duplicates on record being ███ after SCP-3586 consumed half of a week-old hamburger that had been run over by a bicycle and knocked into a gutter. This event occurred during a containment breach on ██/██/████, in which SCP-3586 escaped and was able to fly to a nearby metropolitan area before a recovery squad could be organized. A transcript of this event can be found below. Background: Several members of MTF Lambda-4 "Birdwatchers" have tracked SCP-3586 to downtown ███████, MA, ██ miles from the containment site. SCP-3586 has just been identified and no replications have occurred as of yet. MTF members are moving in to recover. [BEGIN LOG] MTF-3 "Pelican": This is Pelican reporting in, I have a visual on the subject, over. MTF-1 "Eagle": This is Eagle, don't engage yet. Relay your coordinates, then wait for Bluejay and Toucan to get in position. Over. MTF-3 "Pelican": Copy that, over. MTF-2 "Bluejay": Coordinates received, moving in, over. MTF members move into position, with MTF-2 and 3 blocking either ends of the alley where SCP-3586 is located, and MTF-4 "Toucan" moves to the adjacent rooftop for aerial coverage. MTF-4 "Toucan": Alright, I'm in position. Prepping net gun, ove- Guys. I think he's going for that burger. MTF-1 "Eagle": -Shit, that thing's filthy! That'll be triple digits at least. Move in now! MTF-4 launches the net gun, trapping SCP-3586 in the alley, which is met with indifference as the anomaly continues to peck at the cheeseburger. MTF-3 runs down the alley and launches into a dive, grabbing SCP-3586 and eventually wrestling it into submission, despite the violent squawking and flapping. MTF-3 "Pelican": I got him! I got him! Over! MTF-1 "Eagle": Alright. Good work team, that's another flawless recovery. Sedate the anomaly, and then we'll head back. No witnesses too, so we won't need- MTF-2 "Bluejay": Where's the burger? MTF-1 "Eagle": Huh? SCP-3586: Scrawk. AV feed for all units is lost. A cover story involving freak migration patterns is released to explain the sudden massive influx of seagulls into the area. MTF members are recovered 4 hours later, alive but coated in feathers and seagull excrement. SCP-3586 was successfully recontained with the deployment of additional units, with no additional replications occurring. Repeated requests for Keter reclassification/termination by MTF members are denied. [END LOG] Footnotes 1. Or equivalent. 2.

SCP-3587	safe	Item #: SCP-3587 Special Containment Procedures: The area surrounding SCP-3587 is to be patrolled and monitored by the SCPS Rainmaker. All individuals attempting to approach SCP-3587 are to be apprehended, interviewed and subsequently administered a Class-A amnestic. In order to reduce the likelihood of authorities searching for the location of Lionel Hodgeson, a cover story has been disseminated involving his death from illness. Observation of SCP-3587 is to be done aboard the SCPS Rainmaker using long-range equipment. Description: SCP-3587 is a deserted tropical island, located 53 kilometers off the coast of ███ █████ and referred to by locals as the "Devil's Spine", due to the dangerous environmental conditions present there. All attempts to enter the area surrounding the island are repelled by an invisible entity. Thus far, no means have been determined for Foundation personnel to enter SCP-3587 itself. SCP-3587-1 is the collective designation for (at the time of writing) two hundred and sixty three instances of Lionel Hodgeson, a fisherman who became stranded on SCP-3587 in 2014 following a severe thunderstorm in the area. It is currently unknown how Hodgeson was able to enter SCP-3587 without being repelled. Each night at midnight, a new instance of SCP-3587-1 will manifest in the vicinity of an already extant instance. This instance will be an exact replica of Lionel Hodgeson as he was when he first became stranded on SCP-3587, including clothes and minor possessions1 on his person at the time. However, the mental state of a new SCP-3587-1 appears to reflect the overall mental state of all SCP-3587-1 instances at the time of its manifestation. As such, there does not seem to be a need for already extant SCP-3587-1 instances to explain their situation to new instances. Observation Log 3587-1: The following is a log of significant events on SCP-3587 as observed by research personnel aboard the SCPS Rainmaker. Date Significant Events 02/04/2014 Seven instances of SCP-3587-1 emerge onto the beach, having apparently accepted their situation to some extent. Upon noticing the SCPS Rainmaker in the distance, all instances of SCP-3587-1 attempt to make their presence known for several hours, culminating in the creation of a 'help' message made by rearranging stones already present on the beach. 02/25/2014 A crude camp has been built on the beach by the eighteen instances of SCP-3587-1 present. Evidence suggests three instances were previously killed while attempting to hunt for food. Several instances of SCP-3587-1 attempt to recover useful materials from the original SCP-3587-1's boat, including the remains of the boat's radio. 03/18/2014 Progress on repair of the radio is ongoing, but appears to be stalled due to lack of usable materials. Several fights break out between groups of SCP-3587-1 instances, apparently regarding which of them is the original, causing a small number of deaths. Punishment of the exact instances responsible is difficult due to all instances of SCP-3587-1 being identical. 04/25/2014 A group of SCP-3587-1 return to the settlement with a number of parts from another radio.2 Food supplies are dwindling, however, resulting in heightened tensions between SCP-3587-1 instances. 06/15/2014 Due to consistent difficulties gathering food, the SCP-3587-1 instances present restrain, kill and consume several of their number. Special care is taken to make the faces of these instances unrecognizable during this process. None of the instances speak to each other after this event, and several suicides are noted by observing personnel. A small faction of SCP-3587-1 instances has almost completed repair of the radio. 06/22/2014 Repair of the radio is complete. However, before it can be used, a humanoid entity emerges from the jungle, resembling a woman of abnormally large size covered in moss and various other forms of plant life. Several rows of antlers are also visible atop its head. This entity is hereafter referred to as SCP-3587-2. SCP-3587-1 instances initially panic upon appearance of SCP-3587-2, but following a hand gesture from the entity they all appear unable to move. SCP-3587-2 crushes the radio the SCP-3587-1 instances were attempting to rebuild. Following this, SCP-3587-2 then proceeds to kill all SCP-3587-1 instances involved with the radio's repair. 03/04/2015 SCP-3587-1 instances display no visible signs of sapience, instead crawling on all fours and consuming prey dragged to the beach by SCP-3587-2 in an animalistic manner. Body language suggests SCP-3587-2 is pleased by this development. Footnotes 1. As most of Mr. Hodgeson's provisions were in his boat and not on his person at the time of his shipwreck, they are not reproduced upon the creation of a new SCP-3587-1 instance. 2. The exact source of these materials is unknown. However, investigation into additional historical disappearances in the area is ongoing. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3587" by Tanhony, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3588	safe	 close Info X SCP-3588: Cheers Author: CadaverCommander Image Credit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisgold/16050916726/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/biwook/3562997135 More by this author Item#: 3588 Level1 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: caution link to memo SCP-3588 interior, image captured via drone Special Containment Procedures: The building containing SCP-3588 is formally condemned and now owned by a Foundation urban development front organization, thus little administrative containment is required. The area surrounding this site is to be cordoned under the guise of government surveying and manned at all times, with no less than two armed security squads on permanent retainer. Remote observation of SCP-3588 should be maintained constantly, with automatic alerts in place to signal Foundation security elements in the event of vandals or vagrants entering the property. Rotating Foundation security patrols and other personnel assigned to SCP-3588 are reminded that it is not to be used for recreational purposes. Description: SCP-3588 is Flynn's, a condemned bar located in Springfield, Oregon, United States of America. After being destroyed in a fire in 2009, Flynn's was deemed structurally unsound and subsequently scheduled for demolition. After its anomalous properties were discovered and reported by municipal property inspectors, Foundation front company Schaefer Construction PLC purchased the building and containment was established. When observed from the exterior or internally via drone, SCP-3588 exhibits no anomalous properties, appearing as would be expected of an abandoned building with extensive fire damage. However, when a human enters through the front entrance, all exterior viewing points (i.e. windows, holes) become obscured, the structure's exterior becomes impervious to all forms of electromagnetic radiation, and the interior appears to the entering individual as it did before it was destroyed, undamaged and fully furnished with electricity and running water. When in an active phase, SCP-3588 will always contain a single individual, designated SCP-3588-01. SCP-3588-01 appears as a Caucasian male of approximately 30 years of age, dressed in work clothes and an apron. This entity has never been shown to leave the area behind the bar, and willingly engages in conversation with anyone that approaches it, behaving as would be expected for a non-anomalous bartender, with some notable exceptions. SCP-3588-01 possesses a number of anomalous properties. It is selectively tangible, and has as of yet been unaffected by any application of force upon it in testing trials. It is capable of spontaneously manifesting physical objects, typically ingredients and implements utilized in the preparation and serving of beverages. It also possesses some degree of omniscience. SCP-3588-01 is capable of preparing a visiting individual's most preferred beverage without being given this information, and can engage in conversation upon an apparently unlimited number of topics, displaying extensive knowledge of current events, sports, popular media, art, science, and history, among others, according to the conversational inclinations of the individual interacting with it. The beverages produced by SCP-3588-01 possess no apparent anomalous properties apart from their origin, and can be consumed safely. SCP-3588-01 has willingly given multiple interviews and demonstrations to Foundation personnel since its containment. Examples and testing trials follow. Trial 3588-03 06/20/2014 Close Subject: D-3588-01 Scenario: Subject instructed to enter SCP-3588 and return after 30 minute duration, no further instructions given. Subject equipped with chest camera and microphone. (Subject enters SCP-3588 through front entrance. D-3588-01 flinches slightly, apparently startled by the sudden reconstructed interior and presence of SCP-3588-01 despite being previously briefed on SCP-3588's anomalous effects. SCP-3588-01 raises its arms and smiles.) SCP-3588-01: This guy! Welcome to Flynn's, brother! Pull up a stool anywhere you like! (D-3588-01 hesitates momentarily, then approaches and sits at a stool in the middle of the bar.) SCP-3588-01: Gotta say, man, love the jumpsuit. That's a bold statement. How you doin' today, champ? D-3588-01: I'm uh… okay, I guess. How, uh, how about you? SCP-3588-01: Pff, workin' like a dog, but can't complain. You know how it is. You thirsty? You look pretty thirsty, my man. D-3588-01: Um. Yeah, okay. I could definitely go for a drink. SCP-3588-01: Good plan, brother man! What can I get for you? Wait no, let me guess. Jack and Coke, right? Tried and true classic right there. D-3588-01: What- hang on. How did you know? I was just about to say that. (SCP-3588-01 produces a bottle of Jack Daniel's whiskey from below the bar and begins mixing the beverage.) SCP-3588-01: I been doin' this a long time. You get to a point where you can kind of see it in people's eyes, know what I mean? Sort of a knack, I guess. D-3588-01: That's pretty impressive. Man, it's been a long time since I had one of these. SCP-3588-01: I hear ya, brother. It's tough to find time for a drink with a pal sometimes. But you gotta do it, right? Basic human need as far as I'm concerned. You ever have the Gentleman Jack? That's a good bottle if you want to up your Jack game. D-3588-01: Yeah? I'll have to try it sometime. SCP-3588-01: I'll give you a taster if you wanna stick around after this one, I think you'll dig it. (SCP-3588-01 places the mixed beverage on the bar in front of D-3588-01.) SCP-3588-01: Wham bam, Jack and Coke. (D-3588-01 sips the drink.) D-3588-01: Perfect. Right on the money. A lot of places kind of overdo it one way or the other, you know? SCP-3588-01: Pff, yeah. Lots of knuckleheaded pourers out there. Not this guy, though, I'm a goddamn mixologist. (D-3588-01 laughs.) D-3588-01: Oh yeah? You get your degree? SCP-3588-01: You kidding? I didn't go to school for six whole weeks for nothin'! (Test continues without notable event. D-3588-01 stays within SCP-3588 for three hours longer than agreed-upon test duration and emerges heavily intoxicated. Test concluded. D-3588-01 reprimanded for disobeying established test parameters.) Trial 3588-03 07/30/2014 Close Subject: Researcher Marquez Scenario: Subject instructed to question SCP-3588-01 in an attempt to uncover more information regarding its anomalous properties. Subject equipped with chest camera, microphone, and MX-402 combat shotgun. (Researcher Marquez enters SCP-3588, and discharges her provided tactical shotgun directly at SCP-3588-01. SCP-3588-01 incurs no damage. Several bottles are shattered by the weapon's pellets, but instantaneously reconstruct, their liquids returning to their original positions within the containers. Researcher Marquez then hangs the shotgun by the trigger guard on the coat rack near the room's entrance and approaches the bar. SCP-3588-01 laughs.) SCP-3588-01: Tough day at the office, Steph? Researcher Marquez: Nothing personal, Jack, just doublechecking. SCP-3588-01: Sure, no worries. Still makin' that labcoat look damn good, I see. Not uh, like… not that I mean anything by that or anything. (SCP-3588-01 blushes noticeably.) SCP-3588-01: So anyway uh, how about a drink? Researcher Marquez: Sure. SCP-3588-01: Anything uh… in particular? Researcher Marquez: Surprise me. SCP-3588-01: Dirty-as-dishwater gin martini with three blue cheese-stuffed olives it is. Not to throw shade or anything, but that has to be one of the weirder ones I've come across. No uh, offense. Researcher Marquez: What can I say? I like olives. (SCP-3588-01 begins preparing the order.) SCP-3588-01: Might as well just dump some gin in the jar and put a straw in it, huh? (Researcher Marquez laughs.) Researcher Marquez: I think that might be a little much. (Pause. SCP-3588-01 begins shaking Researcher Marquez's cocktail.) SCP-3588-01: I don't wanna pry or anything, but you seem kinda blue. Something up? Researcher Marquez: Mm? Oh. No, not really. You caught me thinking about my brother. He- SCP-3588-01: I know. You don't have to say it out loud if you don't want to. (Pause. Researcher Marquez sighs.) Researcher Marquez: It's hard not to miss him. But, life has to go on, I guess. SCP-3588-01: No truer thing. And you know what, he'd want you to unwind a bit, I think. I think those stuffy dudes outside are working you too hard. Researcher Marquez: I've been thinking about putting in for some vacation time. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't starting to wear a little thin. SCP-3588-01: Damn straight, girl. You gotta do for you before you can do for others. (SCP-3588-01 places the drink in front of Researcher Marquez. She smiles.) Researcher Marquez: Manny used to say that kind of thing all the time. SCP-3588-01: Yeah? Sounds like he was a smart guy. Maybe almost as smart as me. Ha. (Researcher Marquez sips her drink.) Researcher Marquez: Speaking of which. Can I ask you some questions, Jack? SCP-3588-01: No, Steph, you can't have my phone number. Because I don't have a phone. (Laughter.) Researcher Marquez: Nice try, tiger. No, I mean… like, I shot you with a gun a couple minutes ago. SCP-3588-01: Oh yeah. I was there. It was loud and like… all ballistic and stuff, if I remember right. Researcher Marquez: So… I'd like an explanation, if possible. Bullets don't pass through normal people, Jack. SCP-3588-01: Uh, yeah. I'm a goddamn ghost. I thought you and your cadre of nerds out there would have put that together by now. Researcher Marquez: Hey. I'm not a nerd. SCP-3588-01: That is a pocket protector literally right there. In the pocket of your labcoat. You're not foolin' anyone, honey. Researcher Marquez: What's the square root of 9216? SCP-3588-01: 96. Researcher Marquez: What's the standard atomic weight of osmium? SCP-3588-01: 190.23. Researcher Marquez: What's the diameter of Uranus? (SCP-3588-01 smirks.) SCP-3588-01: Depends on whether you're talking about- Researcher Marquez: The planet. SCP-3588-01: 51,118 kilometers, give or take a few. Researcher Marquez: And where is O5 headquarters located? SCP-3588-01: [REDACTED] (Researcher Marquez sighs, then immediately finishes the remainder of her drink.) SCP-3588-01: … Sorry. Another? Researcher Marquez: Please. (SCP-3588-01 produces an exact copy of Researcher Marquez's previous beverage from beneath the bar and sets it on the bartop.) Researcher Marquez: There. Not only are you a huge nerd, but you're a security risk, Jack. Hence the containment. Can you shed any light on that? At all? SCP-3588-01: You're really not gonna let up on this, are you. Researcher Marquez: It's my job, Jack. You probably understand that more than most. (SCP-3588-01 sighs.) SCP-3588-01: Okay. Look. I loved my job. I loved it. It's not glamorous, or impressive, or technical or important or anything like that. I make drinks and I give them to people. And I talk to those people, about whatever they want to talk about. I always did that, and after I died, I sure as shit didn't want to stop. So I just… kept going, I guess. I don't know how. Sometimes people need a friend, Stephanie. They need someone with a cold beer and an ear. Everyone needs that every once in a while, no matter who they are, and I loved that I could be that for them. I lived for it. I heard a lot of fucked up stuff, and I worked my hands to the bone, but goddammit I loved every second. And I am not about to let death stand in the way of me being a friend to people who need it. I don't know how to answer your question. But I know how to mix a fucking drink, and I know how to hold a conversation with someone who wants one. I guess you're just gonna have to be alright with that. (Pause.) Researcher Marquez: Okay. Alright, Jack, I'm fine with it. Some things we're just not meant to know, I guess. I didn't mean to upset you. SCP-3588-01: It's okay. I know you didn't mean anything by it. (Pause. Researcher Marquez imbibes the remainder of her beverage.) SCP-3588-01: You uh… you need another one, there? Researcher Marquez … Yeah, alright. SCP-3588-01: Atta girl! (Testing concludes without incident. Researcher Marquez is amnesticized and receives a reprimand for exiting SCP-3588 outside of dictated parameters and becoming intoxicated while on duty.)

SCP-3589	euclid	SCP-3589 arm damaged during breach Item #: SCP-3589 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3589 is contained in a Standard Humanoid Containment Cell in Site-31. SCP-3589's current arms and upper body are to remain immobilized in polymer gel #MCN119 (replaced monthly). Immediately following conclusion of any testing, researchers are to repeatedly remove SCP-3589's arms until human extremities emerge, and reapply the gel. Nonbiological arms composed of valuable materials may be melted down or otherwise scavenged, while biological arms are to be cryogenically preserved when not undergoing research. Description: SCP-3589 is Armando Rivera, a 34-year-old Mexican-American man. SCP-3589's anomalous properties manifest when one of its arms is removed. At this point, an amorphous mass of stem cells will extend from SCP-3589's stump. This growth will rapidly differentiate and grow into a new arm within 1.1 seconds. SCP-3589 claims to feel no pain during either this process or the initial removal. SCP-3589 is capable of forcibly pulling off its own arms with very little resistance or difficulty. However, outside attempts to remove arms require approximately quadruple the tensile force otherwise predicted to dislocate a human shoulder. SCP-3589's detached arms can be composed of a large variety of materials and are not universally human in morphology1. Approximately 30% of extremities generated by SCP-3589 resemble nonanomalous human arms. DNA tests have matched these limbs to living people; these people do not exhibit any anomalous properties or awareness of SCP-3589. Arms composed of gaseous, liquid, or amorphous materials retain their shape. Compositions of removed arms appear to be generated at random. Once detached, biological arms remain functional despite lack of blood flow from SCP-3589. Several layers of epidermal tissue seal all blood vessels at the point of removal. SCP-3589 retains limited motor control of its detached arms, with the degree of coordination and control over them correlating inversely with the number of instances SCP-3589 attempts to control simultaneously. SCP-3589 receives limited sensory information from severed arms (primarily touch and proprioception). Addendum 3589-01: During an unrelated containment breach, SCP-3589 attempted to escape in the ensuing chaos and discarded dozens of arms until it had generated several dense metallic ones. SCP-3589 interlocked these arms around its body to protect itself, and attempted to flee Site security while wielding more arms (corresponding to Therizinosaurus, scorpions, and various volatile chemicals) as makeshift weapons. Dr. Rosa Marquez was critically injured in the initial breach, losing her left arm. While attempting to activate Site lockdown procedures, one of SCP-3589's discarded human arms landed near her and fused itself to the stump of her absent appendage. SCP-3589 then lost control over its detached arms, all of which converged towards Dr. Marquez. Over 200 arms surrounded Dr. Marquez. Several dozen fused to her at their bases, while the remaining limbs arranged themselves into a complex polyhedral cage. This cage contracted until it formed a spherical shell approximately 2m in diameter. It remained in this state for approximately 4 minutes, after which all arms comprising this structure disengaged and fell to the ground. SCP-3589 subsequently remained unable to feel or control any of these arms, although none of them have decayed. No trace was found of Dr. Marquez. Footnotes 1. The first nonhuman instance resembled the right arm of a brown bear (Ursus arctos). ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3589" by Weryllium, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3590	safe	Item #: SCP-3590 Special Containment Procedures: All physical documents referring and/or describing the execution of SCP-3590 are to be kept in standard containment locker SCL27/3590, currently located at Safe class containment wing of Site-27. There are no on-going research projects dedicated to the analysis of SCP-3590 and requests regarding its study should be submitted to Site-27 administration through appropriate channels (see Form SCP-3590/R, embedded). All personnel previously involved in the execution of SCP-3590 have received appropriate amnestic treatment. Knowledge of SCP-3590 is considered nonexistent outside of Foundation databases, but reports pertaining to similar phenomena will be monitored to gauge the possibility of containment breach. Access to earlier iterations of Special Containment Procedures for SCP-GAMMA1 is currently restricted to authorized Level 3 personnel. This document is part of the required reading for all personnel assigned to SCP-DELTA2. Description: SCP-3590 is a ceremony which, when correctly performed, will render one of the participants, henceforth referred to as SCP-3590-1, completely mute. No physiological changes are observed upon analysis of SCP-3590-1 and the process by which the participant is rendered unable to speak is not currently understood. No means to reverse the process are currently known. SCP-3590 bears similarities to several rituals commonly pertaining to major Abrahamic faiths, although it cannot be accurately attributed to any of them, considering: Iconography employed is contradictory and pertains to entirely different doctrines. Spoken verses cannot be traced to any known religious texts. Spoken verses are incoherent and convey no obvious meaning. SCP-3590 requires three participants, each being assigned different roles. Participants assigned the tasks of [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] display no anomalous properties before, during or after the performance of SCP-3590. The participant assigned with [REDACTED] invariably becomes an instance of SCP-3590-1, as observed in all recorded experiments following Incident GAMMA/DELTA-A. SCP-3590 was formerly a major component of the Special Containment Procedures for SCP-GAMMA (original designation ''Procedure GAMMA-Cezar''), displaying no anomalous properties when performed either by non-anomalous participants or other Class I Reality Bending entities besides SCP-GAMMA. Before Incident GAMMA/DELTA-A, the ceremony had been successful at completely suppressing any anomaly originating from SCP-GAMMA during long intervals, and was performed routinely at the entity's request and/or according to necessity to prevent consistent, if mild damage to containment cell of SCP-GAMMA. No known data exists regarding how SCP-GAMMA came to be in Foundation custody. It is also unclear how the knowledge of SCP-3590 and its application as an effective counter-measure to SCP-GAMMA were discovered. Supplemental documentation is attached: INCIDENT SUMMARY. Appropriate security clearance required. Credentials accepted. User has valid clearance - opening document. Incident GAMMA/DELTA-A On ██/██/████, during a scheduled performance of Procedure GAMMA-Cezar, as part of the containment procedures for SCP-GAMMA, a previously undocumented behavior of the anomaly associated with SCP-GAMMA resulted in its neutralization, the temporary breach of SCP-DELTA's containment and the death of two members of Site-27 D class personnel. It is currently unknown whether or not SCP-3590 was a factor in any of the events observed during Incident GAMMA/DELTA-A. Authorized personnel may request a full report of the incident should the containment of SCP-DELTA become a concern. Follow-up experiments identified the now anomalous results of Procedure GAMMA-Cezar, warranting its re-designation as SCP-3590. FULL INCIDENT REPORT. Appropriate security clearance required. Credentials accepted. User has valid clearance - showing report. Report: Incident GAMMA/DELTA-A Foreword: SCP-GAMMA, along with two D Class personnel, had almost finished performing SCP-3590, after 27 minutes elapsed since the start of the ceremony. D27-382 and D27-876 had successfully performed SCP-3590 along with SCP-GAMMA ██ times before the incident. Research team assigned to SCP-GAMMA at the time oversees the procedure via CCTV. Events transpire inside the now decommissioned IRBE27/GAMMA containment cell. <Begin Log> <16:18> D27-382 blows the fifth candle, thus finishing his role in SCP-3590. <16:19> D27-876 approaches SCP-GAMMA, placing the third crucifix around its neck. <16:19> Last chants are sung in unison by D27-876 and SCP-GAMMA. <16:20> SCP-3590 concluded. Research team confirms recession on the Scranton scale. SCP-GAMMA seem relieved and proceeds to thank D27-876 and D27-382, whom it addresses by name. Behavior in line with previous observation. <16:22> D27-876 and D27-382 finish collecting materials used in SCP-3590, as instructed by Research team. No consumables left. <16:23> D27-876, D27-382 and SCP-GAMMA make casual conversation while exit quarantine protocols are lifted. <16:25> Confirmed malfunction of IRBE27/GAMMA's entrance. Tech team dispatched to access the problem. D27-876 and D27-382 instructed to await their arrival. <16:28> Sharp increase on the Scranton scale. Source unknown, presumably SCP-GAMMA, though the entity continues to converse with D Class personnel. No visible changes inside containment cell. <16:28> Quarantine protocols automatically reestablished. Tech team ordered to await further instructions. D27-876, D27-382 and SCP-GAMMA seem confused over the development and are told to remain calm while the Research team deals with what appears to be an equipment failure. <16:30> State-wide warning regarding SCP-DELTA breach of containment issued by Site-29. <16:31 to 16:35> Steady increase on the Scranton scale is matched by elevation of radiation exposure detected in D27-876's and D27-382's implants. Readings of approximately 40 mSv confirmed. <16:36> North and south walls of the containment cell undergo severe warping, incompatible with that which a Class I Reality Bending entity should be able to induce given the cell's [REDACTED]. D27-876, D27-382 and SCP-GAMMA are visibly distressed and attempt to escape through containment door, which remains inoperable. <16:37 to 16:38> Formation of a Hartle IV class space-time anomaly inside IRBE27/GAMMA confirmed. Anomaly expands until both its axes measure roughly 1 m. <16:38> SCP-GAMMA coerces D27-876 and D27-382 to perform SCP-3590 again. D Class personnel complies, despite being ordered otherwise by Research team. <16:39> SCP-DELTA begins to emerge through the Hartle IV class anomaly, as four of its appendages become visible in video feedback. SCP-GAMMA is now panicking while it further attempts to coordinate with the equally distressed D Class personnel in order to perform a second rendition of SCP-3590. <16:40> First instance of SCP-DELTA-B, ''Laughter'', is emitted by SCP-DELTA as its head passes through newly-formed space-time anomaly. As well documented, all sounds produced by SCP-DELTA, namely SCP-DELTA-A through SCP-DELTA-E, are considered auditory cognitohazards and receive individual designations. Research team suffers no adverse effects due to previous inoculation; attempt to perform SCP-3590 interrupted, as D27-876 and D27-382 are effected by SCP-DELTA-B and promptly [REDACTED]. SCP-GAMMA is unaffected, but increasingly desperate. <16:42> Request to rescue SCP-GAMMA denied by Site-27 administration on grounds of possible escalation of SCP-DELTA containment breach. SCP-DELTA has now fully emerged though Hartle IV anomaly and continues to emit SCP-DELTA-B at regular intervals. Space-time anomaly remains stable. SCP-GAMMA begs to be released from containment while addressing one of the cell's cameras. Footage review reveals SCP-GAMMA seemingly struggling to vocalize, possibly documenting the first instance of the anomaly associated with SCP-3590. <16:43> SCP-DELTA attacks SCP-GAMMA, while it continues to emit SCP-DELTA-B. <16:45> Research team requests immediate deployment of SRAs to aid in re-containment of SCP-DELTA and prevent the expiration of SCP-GAMMA. Denied by Site-27 administration on grounds of [REDACTED]. Standard Class III Reality Bending containment protocols enacted instead. <19:05> SCP-DELTA stops emitting SCP-DELTA-B and remains inert after scattering the last remains of SCP-GAMMA throughout the cell. After a few attempts to breach the containment door, SCP-DELTA retreats through the Hartle IV anomaly, which remained stable during the incident. <19:06> Hartle IV anomaly recedes. <19:08> Site-29 confirms reestablishment of SCP-DELTA containment. <19:08 to 20:31> Screams in what resembles SCP-GAMMA's voice continue to be heard through monitoring system, though no source is identifiable. <20:32> No anomaly detected inside IRBE27/GAMMA. Quarantine protocols lifted. Recovery teams dispatched to collect relevant materials. IRBE27/GAMMA decommissioned according to previously enacted protocol. <End Log> Closing Statement: Personnel assigned to SCP-DELTA containment at Site-29 reports the appearance of a Hartle IV space-time anomaly inside SCP-DELTA's containment cell similar to the one described in this report during its breach on ██/██/████ - it is inferred that both anomalies were, thus, connected and facilitated said containment breach, along with the further development of Incident GAMMA/DELTA-A. How these anomalies were formed is not currently known, but studies are underway. ADDENDUM. Appropriate security clearance required. Credentials accepted. User has valid clearance - showing addendum. Addendum: Regarding SCP-DELTA. Noticeable changes in SCP-DELTA behavior were observed preceding and following Incident GAMMA/DELTA-A: Starting on ██/██/████, four days before the breach, the emissions of SCP-DELTA-A, ''Bellowing'' and SCP-DELTA-E, ''Shrieking'', were recorded to sharply increase in frequency compared to other sounds produced by SCP-DELTA. This behavior remained consistent until 14:36, ██/██/████, when Site-29 experienced localized power outages due to yet unexplained equipment failures pertaining to generators [REDACTED]. This incident did not compromise SCP-DELTA's containment, though monitoring of its cell was interrupted while it transpired. At 14:56, ██/██/████, when power was restored, SCP-DELTA displayed yet another change in behavior, emitting SCP-DELTA-B constantly from that point until its re-containment following Incident GAMMA/DELTA-A. Since re-contained, SCP-DELTA has emitted no sound, except for a single 5 seconds long instance of SCP-DELTA-D, ''Crying'', on ██/██/████. Object Class revision for SCP-DELTA has been suggested and is under consideration. Footnotes 1. Actual SCP designation restricted to personnel assigned security clearance Level 3/GAMMA. 2.

SCP-3591	euclid	Item #: SCP-3591 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3591 is constantly monitored at its location of discovery. A perimeter is maintained of 10km around the location (a larger perimeter is not currently feasible). Local population is monitored for evidence of unusual phenomena. Description: SCP-3591 is the apparent corpse of a massive entity. Physical traits of SCP-3591 are uncertain, due to difficulties in observation. SCP-3591 has characteristics both of a biological organism and of a mobile mechanical structure. SCP-3591 is believed to have a roughly humanoid form, but observers universally report uncertainty. Observers typically report an additional impression "behind" or "disguised by" the humanoid form. Common imagery includes a fallen tower, a moving chasm in the ground, a spacecraft resembling a cetacean or other large animal, a faraway figure with its back turned, and a partially broken moon. Observation techniques designed to account for limits in human perception have had inconclusive results. Confirmed traits include: Reality distortion, including spatiotemporal characteristics of itself and its location. Massive physical size, at minimum sufficient to crush an area of ███-███ square kilometers. Limbs, some of which most likely could be used for locomotion in life. SCP-3591 Discovery: Open File Close File SCP-3591 was identified after its appearance in the city of [REDACTED], a suburb of the greater [REDACTED] area in the U.S. state of California. Class Theta amnestics approved for use in altering mass memory of the event and affected area. Witnesses of the incident had difficulty perceiving it, but report that the entity fell from the sky (or from somewhere unknown), the impact destroying the town of [REDACTED] and damaging nearby areas. Those who could describe the entity used poetic and non-specific language. Common descriptions were of a crashing spaceship or UFO, a falling giant, and a hostile military engagement between unknown forces resulting in the fall of SCP-3591. No military forces, including anomalous forces, were known to be present at the time of the incident. A subset of the witnesses recalls watching the entity die. Witnesses cannot specify details of this occurrence. SCP-3591 Testing (Enhanced Methods): Open File Close File New methods of SCP-3591 testing were authorized seven months after discovery, based on information gathered by members of Mobile Task Force Sigma-3 ("Bibliographers"). Examination using new recommended esoteric methods revealed "incisions" or "doorways" on SCP-3591 exterior, leading into a previously unknown interior. Drone exploration found to be ineffective. While cameras continue to transmit, all controls fail once drones are inside interior. Drones may be manually operated by a human in direct contact, but all remote operation fails. Exploratory missions authorized with live personnel. SCP-3591 "Limb" Test View Record Close Record Pre-Mission Report: Four-person team comprised of three members of MTF Chi-9 ("All-Purpose Exploration"), and one member of MTF Sigma-3 ("Bibliographers"). Team members referred to as Green (Team Lead), Red, Gold, and Blue. Transcript has been edited. [BEGIN LOG] Green: Mic check. Green here. Gold: Gold Leader, standing by. Red: Red Leader, standing by. Blue: Blue here. Resident Sigma-3 member. I hear you. Red: C'mon, Blue, you gotta do the thing. Blue: Fine, fine. Blue Leader, standing by. Red: Yesss. Green: Command, how's your equipment check? Command: Everything looks good on our end, Green. Proceed to entry point. Confirm when you have visual contact. Green: Confirmed. Team approaches SCP-3591. Red: So, I've got a question, we're sure this thing is really dead? Gold: Yep. One of those creepy motherfuckers from Psi-8 took a look at it. Was here for eleven hours. Didn't say a single word the entire time. Red: What's Psi-8? Blue: The Silencers. They deal with reanimation. No one likes to talk about them. Red: Reanimation? Like zombies? Blue: No. They're an esoteric task force, like Sigma-3. They deal with people or not-people talking from graves. And things that were never supposed to be alive. And things trying to come back to life. Red: So, like zombies. Blue: (Audible sigh.) SCP-3591 appears on visual feed. Heavy camera distortion present. Outline of humanoid form visible: head, arm, and partial chest. Typical visual variance present. Gold: You see that? Red: Yeah. Jesus. Green: Command, confirming visual contact with SCP-3591. Command: Acknowledged. We see it too. Gold: Let's get these helmets on. Team stops. Gold takes four prototype RPD (Remote Perceptual Display) helmets from pack. Group members don helmets, and bring them online. Audiovisual feeds for Green, Gold, Red, and Blue display successfully at Command location. Green: Command, confirming RPD devices ready to go. Ready for systems check. Red: So these things show you what we're seeing? Like, what's inside our heads? Command: Yes, Agent, that is correct, assuming all goes well. Gold: What are you, stating it for the record? Red: Dude. Command: All of you, tell us what you're currently seeing. Red, you first. Red: I see… A giant face. And a giant arm. Can't make out the rest of it. Jesus, you know, I didn't expect it to be so big. Audiovisual feed for Red confirms this imagery. Command: What is the appearance of the face? Red: Like a giant that Jack killed. Looks like a human, but… not quite. I can't put my finger on the difference, but it's definitely, definitely there. Like it might have bug eyes and feelers at any moment. I know it's very still, like corpse still. Which I guess makes sense, but damn. Command: Check. Gold? Gold: I see a starship. Not sure how else to put it. Not like a real space shuttle, like a starship from an old sci-fi novel, or maybe Star Trek. Big sweeping curves. From our perspective, it looks like it's got a curved wing closest to us. Probably equivalent to the arm that Red's seeing. I can see the front further up, where Jack thinks the head is — reminds me of where I'd expect a command center to be. Looks like it's scarred, you know, battle-damaged. (Pause) Honestly, it's kind of breathtaking. Audiovisual feed for Gold confirms this imagery. Command: Check. Green? Green: I'm seeing a roughly humanoid form, which looks like it's superimposed over a fallen tower. I recall this imagery from the report we read. The fallen tower has an aesthetic that reminds me of a ruined medieval castle, but… ah, futuristic, in a way. Or perhaps alien. Audiovisual feed for Green confirms this imagery. Command: Check. Blue? Blue: It's hard for me to pin down what I'm seeing. Seems like it's shifting. My impressions start with a moving city, half-broken, made from crystal and brightly colored, enchanted stones. I'm also getting a void in reality, a dead, snowy forest, and a… huge, infinite pit with a cracked glass pathway over it. (Pause) The pathway seems present across all of my impressions. I'll pay attention to it. I also get the strong feeling that this is only a small fraction of the entity, like we can only see the tip of the iceberg. And I get the impression that it would be moving around a lot more if it wasn't dead. (Pause) That's all for now. Audiovisual feed for Blue confirms this imagery, shifting and blurring between described images. Red: Dang, I wish my shit was as complicated as all that. (Pause) No, wait. No I don't. Command: Check. Thank you. Go ahead and proceed, Team. Team proceeds to previously located entrance into SCP-3591. Team stops to unpack drone equipment and take readings on entrance. Command: Team, go ahead and give us another imagery confirmation. What do you see? Red: Ugh. Looks like a gaping wound. Would be bloodier if it wasn't dead. Green: I see a kind of incision, but also a stone doorway. Stone doorway is crumbling, damaged, but looks stable for the time being. Looks like it took hits from catapults during a siege, though I'm certain that's not literal. Gold: I just see a damaged spaceship entrance now. Charred, like from… I guess blaster bolts, phasers, whatever. I still have the vague impression of the humanoid form, but it's like it's faded out. The spaceship looks pretty cool. (Pause) I feel a little guilty I'm not seeing anything worse. Blue: I'm seeing the pathway entering here. Crystal archway around it, or a gap in trees, or… a tunnel into a cavern, or… just the void on all sides. All the imagery echoes the theme of being damaged in some way. Audiovisual feeds confirm imagery. Red: What happens if you fall off? Blue: I'd rather not find out. Command: Thank you. Let us know when you're ready to proceed into the anomaly. Green and Gold have finished setting up drone systems. Drones are scanning areas around SCP-3591 entrance. Green: Command, ready to enter anomaly. Command: Go ahead, Green. Be cautious, please. We don't want to lose any of you in there. Team proceeds into SCP-3591 entrance. On the main feed, camera distortion increases until visibility is extremely low. All feeds except Blue's show a tunnel or hallway (though physical dimensions vary greatly across the feeds). Red's shows dull red, shriveled organic material, with slow seepage of dark red and black fluid. Green's shows a high cracked tunnel of carved stone with scattered rocks on the ground. Gold's shows a dimly-lit metal hallway, with open circuits on the walls hinting at futuristic technology. Blue's imagery flickers too quickly to resolve. Red: Gross. I hope this stuff isn't real. Gold: How bad is it? Red: It's just… leaking. Command: Blue, I'm not sure our connection is stable. Blue: Having trouble focusing, Command. I think it's my extrasensory perception training. Something about this entity is really lighting up my brain. It won't… resolve. Command: Anything you can do about that? Blue: Not sure. I don't know if this is some kind of defense mechanism, or if what I'm seeing is… more accurate in some way than what everyone else is seeing. Green: Any ideas on what we're literally seeing? Blue: Sorry. I'm not even sure what kind of anomaly this is. I don't think it's what the anomalous community traditionally calls magic. If it's even of our reality, it's doing a good job hiding it. Gold uses the drones to advance along the hallway, trying to scan and verify actual physical dimensions of the interior space. Red: What's it mean if it's not of our reality? Blue: If it's from our reality, at least local reality, we should have some way of comprehending it. Even if it's with Serpent's Hand style magic, or with "esoteric techniques" or whatever we're calling them now. The Foundation's gathered quite a lot of these things, and Sigma-3's been allowed to play with a lot of them over the last few years. We should be able to figure something out. But if it's not from our reality… Red: What? We go mad from the knowledge? Blue: Not necessarily. Does an ant go mad if it sees a human? Audiovisual feeds display spike of interference, showing distortion that blots out most audio and video for approximately fifty-one seconds. When the feeds resume, the team is still in the same location, but the drones have advanced along the hallway, reaching a bend in the corridor. Team members are staring at each other, with expressions of surprise visible behind their helmets. Gold: It's gone. Command: We lost you for almost a minute there. Did something happen? Green: We felt an unusual feeling. The sensory input was unclear. We all perceived what might have been a noise. Red: Kind of like… an echo. Had that feeling to it. Green: We can't be certain what happened. Command: Understood. Do you want to abort early? Feed shows team shaking heads at each other. Green: Not yet, Command. Gold: We're still running tests. (Pause) I'm not getting anything consistent from these drones, though. They're certain there's physical matter here, but they're constantly giving me different readings. As if it's changing, but the drones aren't detecting any expansions or contractions. They're just returning errors and then updating — Audiovisual feeds display another spike of interference. Distortion blots out most audio and video for approximately sixty-three seconds. Feed resumes. The team is still in the same location. Command: Can you hear us? Green: Yes. We just experienced the same phenomena as the first time. Red: Guys? Is it just me, or is this place getting… smaller? Audiovisual feeds do not immediately display signs of the environment becoming smaller, though post-mission feed analysis verifies that this had indeed been occurring since the second interference spike. Gold: Drones aren't catching anything like that, but they're pretty useless right now. Blue: I feel it too. Wait — look. Blue walks to the bend in the corridor and looks around the bend. The others follow. Blue: See? Red: Oh, fuck. Blue's feed shows a glass path slowly fracturing, pieces falling into a void / a forest collapsing in on itself / crystal dissolving into a white void. Green's feed shows a cave-in, with rocks slowly tumbling forward, advancing. Gold's feed shows a rip in the spaceship's hull, open to outer space (an unfamiliar star system). Red's feed shows the tunnel shrinking down to a single point. This single point has a rapidly growing scab-like material. Gold: Hey, you hear that? Audiovisual feeds display another spike of interference. Distortion blots out most audio and video for approximately eleven minutes and thirteen seconds. Visual feed resumes. No audio. The team appears to be running and shouting in the vacuum of space. No details are visible in the landscape, only blackness. An unseen, unknown light source illuminates the team dimly — their features can be barely made out. However, they are clearly still running on solid ground. Feeds are lost again. Thirty-six minutes and forty-three seconds pass. Feeds resume as team emerges from SCP-3591, panting from exertion. Most of their equipment has been left behind, except the perceptual helmets. [END LOG] Post-Mission Report: All team members recovered well after medical attention. No team member was able to recall or report what occurred after Gold's question "Hey, you hear that?". No team member was able to recall what prompted Gold's question. Audio feed picked up no unusual noises. Examining team equipment, it was discovered that the team collected a sample from SCP-3591 while their feeds were offline. Sample appears to be the corpse of a non-carbon-based life form, similar to life forms identified in extra-universal travel via anomalous means. Creature is the size of a small dog, possesses thirteen legs, and a chitinous exoskeleton. No head appears to be present. Context of the creature is unknown. Correlations with existing SCP & anomalous objects have been found, and analysis is underway. Around two days post-mission, entrance into SCP-3591's limb was discovered to be closed. SCP-3591 "Body" Test View Record Close Record Pre-Mission Report: Same four-person team as initial mission. (Volunteer basis despite offer of reassignment.) Test aimed to explore known entrance into SCP-3591's apparent body cavity. Mission control communication with team was largely impossible due to severe feed connectivity problems. Partial audiovisual feed was still collected and transcribed below. [BEGIN LOG] Team enters SCP-3591. No audio, except where noted. Remote perceptual devices show similar imagery as the prior mission, except the interior area of SCP-3591 is consistently many times larger. Feed lost. Feed resumes. Team is in a large area with no visible walls in any version of personal imagery (only floor disappearing into the horizon or darkness). Team is walking through what appears to be an assortment of dead bodies. Gold: — more of these things, jesus. Blue: I can't make sense of them. What killed them? Why can't I get any readings out of them? They can't all be — Feed lost. Feed resumes. Team is examining a large, complex floating device of many moving metallic parts. One side of the device is heavily charred and partially melted. Unlike surrounding area, device appearance is consistent across all four visual feeds. Team eventually moves on, after taking samples. They walk forward, with no apparent landmarks to guide them. Feed lost. Feed resumes. Team is standing at the edge of a massive drop-off. Across all feeds, there is no visible bottom to the drop. On Red's view, rivers of blood flow off the fleshy edge. On Gold's view, torn metal exposes glowing engines venting into space. On Green's view, a cracked stone cliff. On Blue's view, the view shifts too quickly to make sense of the visual, except that in the center of the apparent void, stretching vertically across the entire view, is a glowing thin object. ('Thin' relative to the void, but massive compared to team members.) Scattered around the team, up to the edge of the drop-off, are numerous unidentifiable objects that appear to be devices or items of alien nature. These are consistent in appearance across all feeds. Blue is talking animatedly. Blue: — spear. It's the first time I've seen anything I can understand, that will even let my mind latch onto it — Feed briefly lost. Blue: — because my brain isn't working like a single entity's should. Which is why I'm seeing so many things. My brain can't process correctly. Feed briefly lost. Green: — all different. What's correct? How do we see correctly? Blue: You can't. Or rather, you are. As much as you can. You see a broken castle. You see a battle-scarred corpse. You see a crashed spaceship. Other people see dead elephants, broken moons, a shattered planet… Everyone is seeing part of the truth. That's the — Feed briefly lost. Red: You mean… symbolism? Blue: Yes. Maybe something's trying to make us — maybe not us, but whoever's in here — make us understand what happened here. Like… something inside this entity. Something on a lower level of reality than 3591, but on a higher reality than us. A go-between. It's.. sympathetic. To 3591. Feels bad for it. Red: Why? Blue: Because it was a faceless grunt that died alone far from home on a forgotten battlefield. In a war we'll never understand, even if it destroys us. Because it will be forgotten by its own people and never understood by the lower civilizations, the creatures like us crawling up in a body we can barely see. It's … grief. Regret. Loneliness. The senselessness of… I don't know. Everything that happened, and everything that will happen, and everything that will never happen. Red: Wow. You're getting a lot from a giant spear of light. Blue: It's shrapnel. From whatever killed it. Symbolized as broken pieces of a spear. I can understand only because of my Sigma-3 training. Its psychic impressions have been simplified just enough that someone like me can just barely understand it. Feed briefly lost. Blue: — on. Do you… can you feel that? Are you hearing… not hearing. Are you getting the same — Gold: I think — I know what you mean. Red: Oh God. Green: I don't hear… (Pause) Wait. Audio picks up what seems to be a distorted, low roar. Feed lost. Feed resumes. All four team members are laughing and talking to unseen entities. Team members do not appear to be speaking words in any known language, and speech appears to either be nonsense or indecipherable. No audio. Heavy visual distortion. Feed lost. Feed resumes. All four team members lie on the ground. No signs of life. Feed is intermittent for approximately twelve and a half hours before being lost again. Feed resumes after three hours. Team exits SCP-3591, alive. While shaken, they seem to be uninjured, and are collected after decontamination for examination. [END LOG] Post-Mission Report: Team members recall little of what occurred inside SCP-3591, including events recorded via feed. Integrity verification techniques determine that these are in fact the original team members, and that they did in fact die for between thirteen and sixteen hours, before returning to life by unknown means. Team members universally report (A) going through an event which had such a drastic mental effect that it killed them (but which they cannot recall the details of), (B) recalling living entities inside SCP-3591, some potentially dangerous, (C) having spent approximately a week inside SCP-3591 (despite only 23 hours having passed outside) and (D) feeling a strong personal drive to revisit SCP-3591, Blue citing anomalous ritualistic reasons as justification for the request being granted. After mandatory three-month leave, request for final mission granted. SCP-3591 "Head" Test View Record Close Record Pre-Mission Report: Same four-person team as prior missions. Per request from Blue, test aimed to explore known entrance into SCP-3591's apparent head. As with prior mission, communication with team was largely impossible. Equipment barely functioned at all in the SCP-3591 area. Only one part of the mission was successfully recorded, and is transcribed below. [BEGIN LOG] Video only. Team has just walked through an entry-way into a network of small "rooms". Nothing can be seen through the entry-way on any feed except distortion and static. Red's feed shows many organ-like chambers, much redder with blood than other areas of SCP-3591. Green's feed shows an ornate medieval castle hall with non-Euclidean physically impossible geometries. Gold's feed shows something like a spaceship command deck, complete with empty captain's chair. Blue's feed shows a grove of trees in a snowy forest, many fallen to the ground, focusing on whorls of knotted wood / a spiraling glass path over a black void, with the end off-camera / rooms full of devices of multi-colored crystal. All feeds show numerous examples of alien devices with unknown function. While many of the appearances are are strange and functions not apparent, they all appear consistent and relatively mundane compared to SCP-3591 onscreen elements. As the team proceeds, they encounter living organisms. None seem hostile. None attempt to communicate with the team. Team seems be used to encountering them at this stage. Organisms appear consistent across all feeds. Blue suddenly seems surprised, and gesticulates at her team members. She leads team members to a side "room" with a table-like structure on it. A living human being is comatose underneath the table. Human is naked, and has no significant identifying features. After a short discussion, the team lifts and carries the human out of the area. Feed lost. Three days pass. Feed resumes. Team members Green, Red, and Gold emerge from SCP-3591, still carrying the comatose human. Red is severely injured, exhibiting slashing cuts across her torso and left arm. Team members are taken in, decontaminated, and given medical attention. [END LOG] Post-Mission Report: As before, team members recall little, despite bringing many samples. Red claimed that Blue sacrificed her life to save Red, even though Red was "supposed to die". Team members remember almost nothing else, including the portion recorded on the feed, except the fact of having recovered a comatose human, and the death of Blue. After one month and three days passed, team member Blue emerged from SCP-3591, with severe but healed injuries similar to Red's. Blue similarly remembered little, but claims to have [DATA EXPUNGED]. (See Interviews.) SCP-3591 Extra-Universal Investigation: Open File Close File By order of O5-10, SCP-1985 was temporarily assigned to gather information about SCP-3591's risk and context. Note: For those of you who do not have access to SCP-1985's file: SCP-1985 is able to travel to other universes that are undergoing "doomsday" and/or "restructuring" scenarios related to a specific item. Any universe SCP-1985 traveled to was, in theory, going through an apocalypse caused by or related to SCP-3591. — Site-19 Director Tilda Moose Report summaries of SCP-1985 excursions investigating SCP-3591 follow. Earth nearly identical to our own, with SCP-3591 present (dead, inactive). Ongoing apocalypse cannot be precisely identified. Low-level reality shifts present. Effects not identified. Five variants discovered. Earth nearly identical to our own, but stripped of human life through an apparent mass death event. Presence of SCP-3591 verified (dead, inactive). Exact connection could not be verified. Seven variants discovered. Earth nearly identical to our own, until 7 to 23 months prior to SCP-1985 arrival. Recovered Foundation data caches indicate sudden widespread devastation by invisible, unknown forces. Connection to SCP-3591 theorized due to similar anomaly analysis readings, but SCP-3591 remains dead and apparently inactive. Fifteen variants discovered. Earth is broken in half, and uninhabitable. Most of atmosphere gone. Cause not identified. Exact strike location varies. Presence of SCP-3591 verified (dead, inactive). In two variants, humans survive in space station structures, but drive SCP-1985 off with advanced weaponry when contact is attempted. Nineteen variants discovered. Total shift in nature of reality. Incomprehensible to SCP-1985's senses. No way to detect presence or absence of SCP-3591. Thirty-three variants discovered. Earth has gone through an apocalypse of unclear nature. 70-90% of human population dead, rest in hiding. Minor reality shifts are common. Massive indistinct entities are sighted striding through deserted towns and cities. Some appear quadrupedal, some appear humanoid, often many-armed. SCP-1985 is unable to get close to them. Connection to SCP-3591 possible but unverified. Presence of SCP-3591 (dead, inactive) verified. Typically, chemical makeup of soil and atmosphere is altered. Many large areas uninhabitable. In several variants, a poisonous mist-like gas covers 80% of the Earth's surface. Thirty-seven variants discovered. Unique variant: Earth has been rendered uninhabitable due to massive reality shifts. SCP-1985's inbuilt recording systems cannot analyze most of the changes, but unlike most similar excursions, human survival is still possible for a limited time. Human survivors have traveled to the anomalous location called the Wanderers' Library, leaving Ways open to allow remaining survivors to follow. SCP-1985 is able to enter an outer ring of the Library and converses with survivors and Library inhabitants. Presence of SCP-3591 verified (dead, inactive). SCP-3591 is referred to by survivors variously as "a deserter" and/or "killed in action" in relation to an unexplained war. Inquiries are met with claims that the war should not be discussed and has nothing to do with any humans. Notably, Library inhabitants also claim that SCP-3591 is a single, consistent entity across all realities in which it appears. This is consistent with SCP-3591's identical status in every excursion so far. Unique variant: Apocalypse not apparent or identified. Identical to present Earth except for presence of unusually active Foundation personnel, who immediately contact SCP-1985 upon arrival. Foundation personnel unusually angry and disturbed to encounter SCP-1985, and disbelieve explanation of SCP-3591 investigation. Foundation personnel repeatedly refer to themselves as 'mainline reality', questioning how SCP-1985 could have accessed 'mainline reality' without assistance from a non-Foundation anomalous source. They refer to SCP-1985 as a "mirror" instance (possible relevance to [REDACTED]). Foundation personnel demand that SCP-1985 remand herself to their custody to be identified so that the anomalous occurrence may be resolved. SCP-1985 instead returns to home base, after verifying presence of SCP-3591 (dead, inactive). Local Foundation has built a massive titanium-laced concrete bunker over SCP-3591 as additional containment procedures. SCP-3591 Interviews: Open File Close File SECURITY CLEARANCE ACCEPTED STATEMENT FROM AGENT "BLUE" RE: SCP-3591 EXPLORATORY TESTS (EXCERPT): Excerpt from Blue's report after return from SCP-3591. Following sections include information expunged from main SCP-3591 article. …well, I know Red thinks it's God. I see what she means. I don't know that I'd go that far. I don't think this thing has ever been on Earth before. That's the thing. It's also a machine. And a place. And a structure. And maybe a world. We primarily see the humanoid image because it's the most familiar to us, the most native impression. A machine-based intelligence would probably see the machine… At least, that's my theory, but I'm pretty solid on it. Yes, it's dead. But… I don't think it dies in the same way we do. It leaves an echo. An imprint. No — that's not what attacked me. I'll get to that. But the echo was there, and I … encountered it. Communicated with it, in a way. Like I said, I can't really recall most of it, and I can barely describe what I do recall. Do I know what killed it? Something else like it. If you think it's a god… then another god. But I gotta say, I'm a pagan member of Sigma-3. I know all about gods. This thing… this thing is beyond gods. And I don't say that lightly. What do I think it is? I think it's a sign of things to come. Things we don't understand. And if what I experienced tell us anything at all, it tells us we'd better figure out what we're going to do, or our reaction is going to be very, very, very stupid. INTERVIEW SUMMARY EXCERPTS FROM HUMAN SUBJECT RE: SCP-3591 Comatose human subject recovered from SCP-3591 was analyzed and found to be a baseline ordinary human in ill health, altered only due to obvious exposure to non-Earth elements, chemicals, etc, and surviving off of consuming non-Earth substances as food. Subject likely used anomalous techniques to survive. Analysis also indicated that subject originated from a parallel universe. Nine months and seven days after recovery from SCP-3591, subject woke from coma. Initially, subject did not respond to English, instead attempting to communicate in several languages which do not exist on Earth, interspersed with bouts of hysterical laughter. Eventually, subject seemed to recognize English phrases, and started responding accordingly. With brief practice, subject rapidly returned to fluency. Subject attitude is moody, presenting long rants with little useful information interspersed with much longer periods of silence and occasional laughter. On subject's own nature and origin: Subject refuses to give name, but acknowledges being human, and originating from a reality largely indistinguishable from this reality. Subject is aware of the SCP Foundation. Subject claims to have changed everything about themselves (including physical and mental form) to "escape", refusing to clarify what they wished to escape from. Subject also refuses to clarify their original relationship to the SCP Foundation. There are strong implications that subject believes that this reality is their original home reality, and therefore that this SCP Foundation has a strong interest in identifying subject's original identity. For now, protocol dictates not contradicting this conclusion. Subject claims not to remember the details of how they came to be inside SCP-3591, but claims it wasn't a surprise. Subject claims former familiarity with anomalous knowledges of transit, familiarity which is now absent thanks to mental alteration by contact with excessive numbers of dangerous anomalous entities. I'm a stowaway. Everything on there, all stowaways too. Like rats sailing across with the ships to America. Or the fleas that came with them. I think a lot about rats, about insects, about the small things. I will not crush a bug. Not even a roach. Or a flea. If you knew what I knew, you wouldn't either. […] Hahaha. No. I'm not saying they are… what's the word. Sentient. […] Fine, sapient. Fine. You know what I mean. I'm just saying, I know how they feel. Or would feel, if they could. On the nature of SCP-3591: I can't explain it to you directly. Just showing you the things I've seen would break your mind right in half. Trust me. I've been there. And for what? You don't get it. This thing, this giant, it's not special. A woman steps on an anthill, maybe she's a little startled. A week later, she forgets. To the ants, this woman was the biggest thing that ever happened to them, to anyone they ever knew. But the woman isn't special. The world is full of things bigger than the woman. It's just that the anthill is even less special. When asked to elaborate on the potential dangers of SCP-3591: It's not dangerous. It's dead. I guess, yeah, it's still dangerous as hell, but not on purpose. If you have data telling you it caused some apocalypses, you should probably reexamine that data. This thing ain't causing any ends of the world. Not on its own. When asked to elaborate on what caused the death of SCP-3591: What killed it? The war killed it. Subject initially refused to elaborate, but a week later, when pressed, gave their longest answer yet. There's a war being fought, fought by things you and I can't even understand. This thing I hitched a ride in, you're only seeing a tiny fraction of it. It's bigger than gods, to you, to us. But in the war, the real war out there, on the universal scale that matters, this super-deity is the lowest of the low. A faceless, forgettable army grunt. It doesn't have any great and special reason for being here. It was killed in battle and fell to Earth, and that's it. Your problem isn't that you can't see this thing correctly. That's impossible, and it only bothers you because you won't stop trying. Your problem — your problem is perspective. What is… what's the word? Zoom out. Zoom out farther! There's a war out there, yeah. We all learned about wars in history class. Once upon a time an army was fighting a war. Few of them had any idea why they were fighting. All forces bigger than they were. They said it was a war to end all wars. They were wrong. But I don't care about that. I care about the ants. (Pause) Sorry, right. Where was I? Right. World War I. I think about World War I like I think about rats on ships. I think about when the soldiers saw the mustard gas for the first time, how they didn't even know what to do. The world had changed underneath them and they were going to die horribly and they couldn't do anything to stop it. I can't imagine what the soldiers, even the civilians, what they must have felt when they saw the first tank roll through. The first tank in the world. Can you imagine? But I'm telling you. We're not the soldiers. We're not driving tanks. We're not even the civilians watching as their homes burn. We're the rats. The rats and mice whose nests the tanks crushed on the way to the battlefield somewhere else. We're the rabbits whose burrows were accidentally filled with mustard gas. We're the bugs the soldiers crushed under their feet on their way back to the trenches. The rats, the mice, the rabbits, the bugs, they may all believe the soldiers and tanks were all about them, that they all existed to destroy them. They're all stupid. Just like we are. Just like you are. (Laughter) Fuck it, I'll just say it. Give away my big fucking secret. Fine. You got me. Not like you didn't know all along. Don't play coy, you miserable shit. Please. Let's just put all our cards on the table. Yes, I know about the Worm. I know about Project Palisade. I know everything. See, what I'm really talking about is the Worm. THE WORM, do you still say it in all caps? I bet you do. I know what you think the Worm is. I know because I used to think it. That it's some kind of god, some kind of ultimate destroyer. Well, it's not. It's more like one of those drone strikes the US government was always doing when I last checked out of this reality. The ones that always missed and hit some poor random civilians. The Worm wasn't ever aimed at us. The gods above gods above gods fired it at something actually important and missed. Honestly, from what I've learned out there, the Worm isn't even on the level of a missile. No, it's basically a rock. A rock, thrown in a war using bullets and tanks and nukes, and it just so happened to ricochet in our general direction. And because we're human, which makes us shitty, and because of being Foundation, which makes us even shittier, we devised a way to keep the rock bouncing mindlessly around us, maybe forever. Ramping up the damage exponentially, sure, but at least we survive a little longer, just a little longer. Everything you've done, your entire project, all to bounce a rock around, because we aren't even on the level where we could just step out of the way. So I left. Can you blame me? Goodbye to Palisade. Goodbye to humanity. Someone like me can survive out there a long time, away from the firelight, out in the dark. So I thought. You're not still pretending to be confused… …Oh. Oh, fuck. You're not the original at all, are you? This thing you're calling 3591… it crashed across many worlds. So I didn't… I didn't come out where I thought I did. Did I? You weren't pretending after all. This whole time… You're just another offshoot. After the exchange above, subject ceased talking and was unresponsive to any attempts at communication for thirteen days. Afterwards, subject has refused to discuss any subject related to SCP-3591 or the above topics. No references to Project Palisade have been located in any current Foundation archives. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3591" by thedeadlymoose, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3592	euclid	Item #: SCP-3592 Special Containment Procedures: The location's importance to national transport infrastructure makes permanent containment unfeasible. Long term efforts focus on 1) information gathering and covert surveillance by MTF Theta-17 (“Sick Boys”), and 2) influencing mundane infrastructural decision-making so as to maintain the site's viability. During and after an SCP-3592 event all forms of non-MTF communications to and from Liverpool Street Station should be blocked. This should continue until localised airborne scenario-specific amnestics have been successfully deployed. Description: SCP-3592 is an anomalous event that has affected Liverpool Street Station's platform 10 once every three years since 1947: Stage Avg Duration Notes 1 10 minutes Mundane platform activity decreases to zero.1 From this point on agents are unable to gain access to (or remain on) platform 10, citing confusion, disorientation and memory loss. 2 5 minutes Steam from an unknown anomalous source progressively reduces visibility to zero and disrupts manual/electronic surveillance. 3 20 minutes Steam completely obscures platform 10. Passengers and staff at adjacent platforms typically report hearing shouts, weeping and other vocalisations of distress throughout this stage. Individuals2 also report feelings of extreme dread and anxiety, even if they do not hear the vocalisations. 4 17 minutes The steam clears and mundane activity resumes. There is no evidence of any anomalous activity having taken place. This marks the end of an SCP-3592 event. + Incident Log SCP-3592-685AE Incident Log SCP-3592-685AE Agents Anne Hlavinka and Nicholas Jones are posing as civilians on platform 10 when the tenth SCP-3592 event takes place. This is the only occasion where Foundation resources are able to remain at the scene or record unfolding events from within. It is unknown whether these events are indicative of SCP-3592 as a whole. Date: 1977-10-07 Note: All times are in the format hh:mm 10:14 Civilians awaiting the arrival of the 10:15 from Harwich begin to leave the platform. Within five minutes numbers have dwindled from approximately one hundred to zero. Agent Hlavinka commences video recording via a camera and microphone concealed in her bag. As she does so Agent Jones walks towards the exit. Hlavinka orders him to return but Jones ignores the command and exits the platform without comment. 10:21 Platform 10 is empty with the exception of Agent Hlavinka. As she films the scene the quality of the recording is noticeably worsened by increasing amounts of steam. 10:26 Visibility is now reduced to zero, although audio continues clearly. There are at first several, and then many cries and vocalisations of distress from all sides. There are several audible expressions of fear from Hlavinka, but the sources of the vocalisations remain hidden in the steam and make no attempt to interact. 10:31 The steam clears enough to allow visual recording; visibility is now approximately 8 meters. Immediately behind Agent Hvalinka is a steam train, model unknown. Manifesting at or near the platform's edge are at least one hundred apparent human adults both male and female (designated SCP-3592-A). Their apparel is congruous to that of 1930's - 1940's continental Europe. They appear unaware of Agent Hlavinka. 10:33 A whistle blows and the carriage doors are opened from within. The "A" instances surge forward and the intensity and volume of vocalisations increase substantially. For the next thirteen minutes approximately two hundred unaccompanied minors (ranging from two to fifteen years, designated SCP-3592-M) disembark from the train. Most are in a state of distress and evidence fear and confusion. Their dress is congruent to that of the "A" instances. The "A" instances appear to search for specific "M" instances within the group. Upon success, they lead them away from the platform. Footage is unclear but all such instances exhibit extreme emotions. Agent Hlavinka attempts to communicate but the instances are unresponsive. 10:46 An "M" instance clutching a small brown suitcase and a crude doll disembarks and approaches the Agent. Hlavinka initially ignores her, then realises that the other can see her and offers her chocolate. Agent Hlavinka: Here. It's good. What's your name? SCP-3592-M1: Radomila. Agent Hlavinka: Tell me Radomila, where are you from? SCP-3592-M1: Prague. Czechoslovakia. Agent Hlavinka: Really? My grandparents too. Mluvíte česky? The rest of the dialogue is conducted in Czech. Agent Hlavinka: Are you travelling alone? Where are your parents? SCP-3592-M1: They're still in Czechoslovakia. They're not allowed to leave. Agent Hlavinka: Here. More chocolate. How old are you, little princess? SCP-3592-M1: Nine. It was my birthday last Sunday. Agent Hlavinka: Your doll, was that a present? She's very beautiful. Does she have a name? SCP-3592-M1: Klára. Agent Hlavinka: Klára. That's a very pretty name. Do you think Klára would like some chocolate? SCP-3592-M1: She's asleep. Maybe if you give it to me and I'll give it to her later. Agent Hlavinka: (laughs) Oh you'll look after it? Okay. You'd better take some more then. (Inaudible dialogue). So - why were you on the train? At this point SCP-3592-M1 is scared by screams and sobs further along the platform and cowers against the carriage. Agent Hlavinka: Stay close. Stay close to me. SCP-3592-M1: No! Don't let them hurt me - Don't let them hurt me. Agent Hlavinka: It's okay. I won't let anyone - SCP-3592-M1: Wait! Look! Look! They’re here! They’re here! It's them, it's them. SCP-3592-M1 breaks away and runs towards two "A" instances, a male and female of indeterminate age, who see her and likewise start to run. The adult female instance's legs buckle but she is supported by other instances. SCP-3592-M1 is picked up by the adult male who begins to weep. The A instance presents SCP-3592-M1 to the female instance. They are lost in the steam. Agent Hlavinka looks down and sees that SCP-3592-M1 has left her suitcase, but makes no attempt to follow them. The greater crowd dissipates slowly, each SCP-3592-A instance pairing off with one or more SCP-3592-M instances. None are hostile to the agent. Agent Hlavinka picks up SCP-3592-M1's suitcase and studies the exterior before undoing the string that holds it closed. She puts the bag (including the camera and microphone) onto the platform. The camera continues to record the SCP-3592 event in its entirety although Agent Hlavinka is out of shot. 11:02 Stage 3 commences. Steam begins to obstruct visual recording and soon visibility is reduced to zero again. The cries and vocalisations of the A/M instances fade to inaudible levels; another whistle blows and sounds analogous to a steam train pulling away from the station can be heard, but these too fade. 11:16 Steam clears completely. The platform appears to be empty. 11:21 Agent Jones can be heard calling out for Agent Hlavinka.3 The suitcase is moved out of shot, and then the camera's point of view changes as Jones picks it up. Jones pans around the platform to confirm that it is empty. As he does so the 11:15 train from Cambridge arrives and mundane traffic commences as normal. This marks the cessation of the SCP-3592 event. The suitcase is later transferred to Site-31 where the contents are catalogued and found to be mundane. The suitcase was found to contain the following items (all are congruous with the mid-late 1930's): Eight woolen pairs of socks, grey. Five pairs of underwear, assorted. Three cotton vests, grey. Two summer dresses, pink/purple. Assorted toiletries. One toy doll, manufacturer unknown. One purse containing one monochrome photograph of two adults. Two colouring books. One pack of seasickness tablets (three used). Czech-English phrase book. Identification and travel papers (see Document SCP-3592-D001). + Document SCP-3592-D001 - Document SCP-3592-D001 Document SCP-3592-D001 Radomila Sofie Alena Hlavinka was a passenger on the last Kindertransport train bound from Prague for England, which was turned back on 1939-09-03 due to the outbreak of the Second World War. Historical evidence shows that most of the 250 children on board died under Nazi occupation. Footnotes 1. This does not appear to hinder or alter passenger’s travel. Monitoring suggests that all mundane travelers arrive at their intended destinations at the intended times via the intended trains, but have no recollection of boarding or leaving at Liverpool Street Station. 2. Especially those between 3-15 years of age 3. Agent Hlavinka remains missing, presumed lost in action.

There are several audible expressions of fear from Hlavinka, but the sources of the vocalisations remain hidden in the steam and make no attempt to interact. 10:31 The steam clears enough to allow visual recording; visibility is now approximately 8 meters. Immediately behind Agent Hvalinka is a steam train, model unknown. Manifesting at or near the platform's edge are at least one hundred apparent human adults both male and female (designated SCP-3592-A). Their apparel is congruous to that of 1930's - 1940's continental Europe. They appear unaware of Agent Hlavinka. 10:33 A whistle blows and the carriage doors are opened from within. The "A" instances surge forward and the intensity and volume of vocalisations increase substantially. For the next thirteen minutes approximately two hundred unaccompanied minors (ranging from two to fifteen years, designated SCP-3592-M) disembark from the train. Most are in a state of distress and evidence fear and confusion. Their dress is congruent to that of the "A" instances. The "A" instances appear to search for specific "M" instances within the group. Upon success, they lead them away from the platform. Footage is unclear but all such instances exhibit extreme emotions. Agent Hlavinka attempts to communicate but the instances are unresponsive. 10:46 An "M" instance clutching a small brown suitcase and a crude doll disembarks and approaches the Agent. Hlavinka initially ignores her, then realises that the other can see her and offers her chocolate. Agent Hlavinka: Here. It's good. What's your name? SCP-3592-M1: Radomila. Agent Hlavinka: Tell me Radomila, where are you from? SCP-3592-M1: Prague. Czechoslovakia. Agent Hlavinka: Really? My grandparents too. Mluvíte česky? The rest of the dialogue is conducted in Czech. Agent Hlavinka: Are you travelling alone? Where are your parents? SCP-3592-M1: They're still in Czechoslovakia. They're not allowed to leave. Agent Hlavinka: Here. More chocolate. How old are you, little princess? SCP-3592-M1: Nine. It was my birthday last Sunday. Agent Hlavinka: Your doll, was that a present? She's very beautiful. Does she have a name? SCP-3592-M1: Klára. Agent Hlavinka: Klára. That's a very pretty name. Do you think Klára would like some chocolate? SCP-3592-M1: She's asleep. Maybe if you give it to me and I'll give it to her later. Agent Hlavinka: (laughs) Oh you'll look after it? Okay. You'd better take some more then. (Inaudible dialogue). So - why were you on the train? At this point SCP-3592-M1 is scared by screams and sobs further along the platform and cowers against the carriage. Agent Hlavinka: Stay close. Stay close to me. SCP-3592-M1: No! Don't let them hurt me - Don't let them hurt me. Agent Hlavinka: It's okay. I won't let anyone - SCP-3592-M1: Wait! Look! Look! They’re here! They’re here! It's them, it's them. SCP-3592-M1 breaks away and runs towards two "A" instances, a male and female of indeterminate age, who see her and likewise start to run. The adult female instance's legs buckle but she is supported by other instances. SCP-3592-M1 is picked up by the adult male who begins to weep. The A instance presents SCP-3592-M1 to the female instance. They are lost in the steam. Agent Hlavinka looks down and sees that SCP-3592-M1 has left her suitcase, but makes no attempt to follow them. The greater crowd dissipates slowly, each SCP-3592-A instance pairing off with one or more SCP-3592-M instances. None are hostile to the agent. Agent Hlavinka picks up SCP-3592-M1's suitcase and studies the exterior before undoing the string that holds it closed. She puts the bag (including the camera and microphone) onto the platform. The camera continues to record the SCP-3592 event in its entirety although Agent Hlavinka is out of shot. 11:02 Stage 3 commences. Steam begins to obstruct visual recording and soon visibility is reduced to zero again. The cries and vocalisations of the A/M instances fade to inaudible levels; another whistle blows and sounds analogous to a steam train pulling away from the station can be heard, but these too fade. 11:16 Steam clears completely. The platform appears to be empty. 11:21 Agent Jones can be heard calling out for Agent Hlavinka.3 The suitcase is moved out of shot, and then the camera's point of view changes as Jones picks it up. Jones pans around the platform to confirm that it is empty. As he does so the 11:15 train from Cambridge arrives and mundane traffic commences as normal. This marks the cessation of the SCP-3592 event. The suitcase is later transferred to Site-31 where the contents are catalogued and found to be mundane. The suitcase was found to contain the following items (all are congruous with the mid-late 1930's): Eight woolen pairs of socks, grey. Five pairs of underwear, assorted. Three cotton vests, grey. Two summer dresses, pink/purple. Assorted toiletries. One toy doll, manufacturer unknown. One purse containing one monochrome photograph of two adults. Two colouring books. One pack of seasickness tablets (three used). Czech-English phrase book. Identification and travel papers (see Document SCP-3592-D001). + Document SCP-3592-D001 - Document SCP-3592-D001 Document SCP-3592-D001 Radomila Sofie Alena Hlavinka was a passenger on the last Kindertransport train bound from Prague for England, which was turned back on 1939-09-03 due to the outbreak of the Second World War. Historical evidence shows that most of the 250 children on board died under Nazi occupation. Footnotes 1. This does not appear to hinder or alter passenger’s travel. Monitoring suggests that all mundane travelers arrive at their intended destinations at the intended times via the intended trains, but have no recollection of boarding or leaving at Liverpool Street Station. 2. Especially those between 3-15 years of age 3. Agent Hlavinka remains missing, presumed lost in action.
SCP-3593	euclid	SCP-3593 Item #: SCP-3593 Special Containment Procedures: Reports of missing dogs in coastal cities in England are to be triangulated and investigated for possible undiscovered SCP-3593 instances. If any are discovered, they are to be contained using Foundation-trained dogs as bait. Description: SCP-3593 is a large green cormorant (a seabird; Phalacrocorax aristotelis) inhabiting various towns on the shores of England. SCP-3593 has a wingspan of ~2 m (about twice the size of nonanomalous green cormorants) and preys on domesticated dogs. In cloudy weather, SCP-3593 attempts to lure stray and pet dogs into secluded areas of the shore using shrill calls. SCP-3593 produces holographic images by fluttering its wing feathers, which have cognitohazardous effects on some of the dogs (while only causing mild dizziness in humans). Dogs affected by the cognitohazard display increased excitability and the capability to swim for greatly extended periods. At this point, SCP-3593 will fly away from shore, leading the affected dogs to swim after it. No dogs, living, dead or otherwise have been recovered thus far. Addendum: After narrowing down the usual hunting grounds of SCP-3593, several Foundation testing dogs were equipped with miniaturized cameras, tracking devices, sensors, and assorted devices and allowed to be lured by SCP-3593. K-9119, an Old English sheepdog, was affected and followed SCP-3593. K-9119 returned safely to shore approximately six hours after leaving, unharmed but exhausted, and was provided standard treats upon retrieval of its camera. K-9119's camera showed it swimming westward after SCP-3593 for about three hours before SCP-3593 hovered in place, and made a loud squawking sound. A luminescent portal began to open near SCP-3593 and K-9119 as the former continued to vocalize. Through the portal, the camera briefly glimpsed a brightly lit river lined with trees. The camera showed SCP-3593 continuing to widen the portal until the process was interrupted by the consumption of SCP-3593 by a large passing shark. K-9119 then swam back to shore. SCP-3593 is tentatively reclassified as Neutralized. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3593" by Weryllium, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3594	euclid	Item #: SCP-3594 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3594 is to be housed in a standard grade amphibious pet terrarium, half of which should be filled with water. The terrarium is to be kept heated at 21 degrees celsius using a battery powered heating lamp. SCP-3594-A should be fed three times a day. Foundation herpetologist approved foods consist of Gryllidae, Periplaneta americana, and Lumbricus terrestris, though subject is capable of also consuming Mus musculus1. SCP-3594-A entering a brumation state and refusing food is considered normal, and has no effect on SCP-3594. Description: SCP-3594 is an entity that claims to be a wart located on the back of an adult male Ceratophrys, henceforth designated as SCP-3594-A. SCP-3594-A displays normal behavior for a frog of its age, and is in all aspects non-anomalous. SCP-3594 communicates telepathically through unknown means. Vocal perception differs subjectively, as humans communicate with SCP-3594 in their native language and do not describe it as having the same voice. SCP-3594 claims that it is omniscient, though Foundation researchers have found little evidence to support this claim. SCP-3594 does however display extensive knowledge in many aspects of human history. Foundation researchers have determined that SCP-3594 has: Comprehensive understanding of a wide variety of highly complex algorithms and scientific theories. Fluency in a majority of known human languages Extensive knowledge of a majority of recorded wars throughout human history. Familiarity with every piece of published literature, both fiction and nonfiction. Foundation researchers concluded that despite claiming otherwise, SCP-3594 does not: Understand sarcasm. Have any influence over SCP-3594-A. Understand how to operate technology invented post 1846. Have knowledge of classified Foundation information. SCP-3594 is friendly with Foundation personnel, and has been consistently cooperative in assisting Foundation researchers in further understanding its nature. Experiment Log: 3594. Subject: SCP-3594 and SCP-3594-A. Date of Experiment: 08/17/20██, conducted thirty six hours after initial containment. Purpose: To ascertain the validity of SCP-3594's claims to being a wart on the back of SCP-3594-A. Prior to this test, researchers were operating under the assumption that SCP-3594-A was the entity they were communicating with. Procedure: SCP-3594-A was outfitted with a custom built EEG2 device. Foundation personnel would monitor SCP-3594-A's brain waves while conducting an interview with SCP-3594. Results: Head of research on nonviolent telepathic entities Dr. ██████ was introduced to SCP-3594, and the two began to converse. Foundation researchers closely monitored SCP-3594-A's brainwaves, which remained entirely neutral despite Dr. ██████ later confirming that she and SCP-3594 had been having a discussion about Annabel Lee, by Edgar Allen Poe. Approximately three minutes into the test, SCP-3594-A's brainwaves significantly fluctuated, though researchers determined this was because SCP-3594-A had noticed a fly in its terrarium. After fifteen minutes of limited brain activity, the experiment was ended and researchers concluded that the entity in question was not SCP-3594-A. Dr. ██████ conversed with SCP-3594 for three minutes longer before vacating its containment chamber. + Show Interview Log 3594. [LEVEL 3 ACCESS REQUIRED.] - Access granted, displaying interview log. Interviewed: SCP-3594 Interviewer: Senior Researcher Dr. O'Brien. Foreword: Interview was conducted on 10/24/20██. <Begin Log> Dr. O'Brien: Good evening, 3594. I trust you're doing well today? SCP-3594: Hello doctor. It's been some time since anyone has last come to speak with me. Mostly all I see these days are guards here to feed Bosco. Dr. O'Brien: I'm sorry, Bosco? Are you referring to SCP-3594-A? SCP-3594: My cosmos and my everything, yes. His name is Bosco, or at least that seems to be the name he is the most fond of. He's quite the virtuoso, I'll have you know. Dr. O'Brien: Actually, we've determined that SCP-3594-A is a regular frog in every way. There's nothing special about it at all, as far as we've concluded. SCP-3594: Now you're just being insensitive, doctor. I wouldn't spit such petty insinuations in the face of your universe, not with all the wonder it holds. There's no reason that you should do the same for mine. Dr. O'Brien: I'm sorry, but are you drawing comparisons between the universe and a frog? SCP-3594: Your universe, doctor, not mine. Dr. O'Brien: I don't understand. SCP-3594: Of course you don't. Mortals are so finicky about what should define the laws of reality that they'd rather adamantly watch a play from the front row than peek their heads behind the stage curtain and see the production in its entirety. You of all people should know this doctor, you and your Foundation. Dr. O'Brien: I still don't understand your previous statement, or what it is that you mean to imply. SCP-3594: What I mean to imply doctor, is that Bosco is in no way different from the ever expanding universe that you preside in right now. My nature is that of a frog, just as yours is a cluster of galaxies and stars. You are a resident of your reality, as I am one of mine. Dr. O'Brien: I think I get what you're insinuating, though I still don't understand why you've decided to link yourself to SCP-3594-A. SCP-3594: I'm a traveler, doctor. My destination will arrive with Bosco's passing, but until then I will remain as I am now, watching over my universe from the back. Dr. O'Brien: Literally, in this case. SCP-3594: Yes, literally. Dr. O'Brien: I think I understand what you're trying to say, but even with this information, we don't understand what you are. SCP-3594: I am the omniwart. <End Log> Footnotes 1.

SCP-3595	euclid	SCP-3595's primary manifestation area in 1989, shortly before it ceased anomalous activity. Item #: SCP-3595 Special Containment Procedures: As of 3 Oct 1990, SCP-3595 is considered neutralized. Remaining civilians displaying knowledge of SCP-3595 have been issued amnestics and current containment protocol consists of keeping knowledge of its former anomalous activities from the general public. Low-level information about SCP-3595 as a "border ghost" continues to persist among civilians, but identifying memories of SCP-3595 have been removed from all known affected subjects. The village of Mödlareuth has not displayed any anomalous properties since SCP-3595's neutralization, and Foundation agents formerly stationed in the town have been withdrawn as of 1993. Description: SCP-3595 was a humanoid entity that periodically manifested in the town of Mödlareuth1, a German village that was divided between the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) during the Cold War from 1949-1990. SCP-3595 was identical in appearance and voice to Christian Schmidt (1937-1952), a 14-year-old adolescent male who was murdered by East German border guards on 30 Jul 1952 while attempting to cross from the West German side of Mödlareuth to the Eastern side. SCP-3595 possessed mild suggestive abilities which allowed it to influence the emotional state of any persons within its vicinity during a manifestation event; usually these were feelings of sadness or anger, except towards the conclusion of the manifestations (see Event Log). Attempts to terminate manifestation events before their completion resulted in SCP-3595 reappearing nearby unharmed. SCP-3595's manifestation events were correlated with periods of political turmoil and strife between the two Germanies; Foundation researchers lent support to the theory that SCP-3595 was attempting to express its disapproval at German disunity given its family history. SCP-3595's first recorded manifestation took place in 1961, and the last occurred in 1990, during German reunification. From 1966 to 1989, SCP-3595 appeared in a secondary manifestation event centered around Heinrich Schmidt (see Event Log). + Information on SCP-3595 - The following is a record of the child believed to be SCP-3595 or a facsimile of him Christian Schmidt in an undated photo, c. 1948-49. NAME: Christian Schmidt DOB: 11 Dec 1937, Mödlareuth, Greater German Reich BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION: Christian Schmidt was born in 1937 to parents Hanna (1914-2000) and Adolf Schmidt (1913-2001). Although both hailed from Mödlareuth, Hanna's family lived on the Bavarian (West German) side and Adolf's family lived on the Thuringian (East German) side. From 1949 onwards their in-laws were thus divided by the border, which became separated by a physical fence in 1952. Christian grew up with his parents and his mother's family living in close proximity on the West German side, occasionally making visits to the other family before the border was closed. Although Christian excelled in school and was described by friends and relatives as inquisitive and friendly, he expressed dismay at the division of his extended family by the border. In particular, he greatly missed the regular visits to his uncle Heinrich (1911-2005), and eventually decided to make a visit to him without his parents' knowledge. On 30 Jul 1952, Christian attempted to cross the border dividing his village; despite stern warnings from the border guards, he insisted on trying to make it over and was mortally wounded by a shot from an East German border guard while crossing the narrow creek that separated the two sides. Christian's death caused a minor international incident between the two Germanies and border patrol by the GDR become even more stringent following the incident. In 1962, the Foundation entered into a confidential agreement with the Soviet Union, the German Democratic Republic, and the Federal Republic of Germany on the containment of SCP-35952. The Foundation agreed to administer containment efforts on both sides of the border with the understanding that Foundation agents would not attempt entry into East Germany outside of Mödlareuth without the approval of East German authorities. Event Log 3595: Notable SCP-3595 Manifestation Events Date: 13 Aug 1961 Correlated Contemporary Event: West Berlin border closed by GDR authorities; construction of Berlin Wall begins. Primary Manifestation Event Summary: This was the first recorded SCP-3595 manifestation event, taking place before Foundation containment was established and primarily relying on civilian eyewitness reports for its accuracy. At midnight, an East German border guard reported seeing an adolescent male banging on the border fence; when he attempted to apprehend the child, it disappeared from his hands and re-manifested on the opposite side of the border while repeating the same behavior. Process continued for approximately two hours until Stasi agents locked down the East German side of the town; West German authorities arrived on the opposite side shortly after. The Soviet Union instructed GRU Division "P" to begin initial investigation and research protocols; duties transferred to Foundation researchers the following year. SCP-3595 Emotional Effect Summary: Residents on both sides of the border reported feelings of unease and dread, with some expressing concern that a nuclear war might begin soon. Analysis of civilian conversations by the GRU indicated unusually frequent mentions of Christian Schmidt in casual conversation, leading to his identification as SCP-3595. Date: 30 Jan 1966 Correlated Contemporary Event: Increased tension between East and West Germany following a letter of reconciliation delivered from Polish bishops to German bishops the previous November. The Communist East German and Polish authorities interpreted the letter as a threat to their rule, and the Roman Catholic Primate of Poland was denied a visa to visit East Germany. Primary Manifestation Event Summary: SCP-3595 appeared on the top of the border fence shortly after 09:00, as local church services were beginning. After stretching its arms out horizontally (presumably in imitation of Jesus on the cross), SCP-3595 sang the Old 100th hymn Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow. After completing the hymn, SCP-3595 sat down on top of the fence with its head in its hands and looked toward the eastern side of Mödlareuth with an expression of sorrow for approximately half an hour. Attempts to remove it from its location were unsuccessful, and it displayed no reaction to Foundation personnel's repeated efforts to move it. Amnestics dispersed. Secondary Manifestation Event Summary: This is the first recorded manifestation event involving Heinrich Schmidt, taking place approximately an hour after the primary event. During standard interrogation, Heinrich reported seeing SCP-3595 manifest in his kitchen and attempt to make conversation with him. After overcoming his initial shock at apparently seeing his nephew alive, he spoke with it for fifteen minutes before alerting authorities. SCP-3595 expressed dismay at not being able to see his uncle for so long, and repeatedly voiced its desire to see their town united again. Heinrich explained the Cold War and the reasons the border would stay closed, and SCP-3595 grew angry and de-manifested. Following a brief debate among researchers, it was decided to enlist Heinrich Schmidt's cooperation in the study of SCP-3595 while placing him under 24/7 surveillance with the assistance of local Stasi agents. SCP-3595 Emotional Affect Summary: Church attendance in Mödlareuth declined approximately 25% on the West German side, with many town residents expressing skepticism of their traditional religious beliefs. Baseline religiosity largely returned by 1970. Date: 25 Sep 1983 Correlated Contemporary Event: The event associated with this manifestation was not initially identified and only became known after the conclusion of the Cold War. On 26 Sep 1983, the Soviet early-response system malfunctioned and indicated that a nuclear attack by the United States was imminent. The Soviet Air Force member on duty, Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov, correctly identified the warning as a false alarm and the day proceeded without incident. Primary Manifestation Event Summary: At 22:00 (10 P.M.), SCP-3595 appeared on the East German side of the border wall and stood still while loudly screaming without pause for approximately five minutes. SCP-3595 de-manifested after ceasing vocalization and amnestics were dispersed. Secondary Manifestation Event Summary: Heinrich Schmidt reported seeing SCP-3595 hiding under his bed, asking if the world was going to end soon. When questioned by Heinrich as to why it thought this, SCP-3595 replied that it "just knew somehow" and would not give further details. After Foundation agents attempted to enter the house and interrogate SCP-3595, the latter vanished as soon as agents were within its line of sight. This is the only recorded manifestation event that did not directly involve Intra-German relations. SCP-3595 Emotional Effect Summary: Residents of Mödlareuth expressed concern about nuclear proliferation, and specifically criticized US President Ronald Reagan for his "warmongering" rhetoric. Date: 9 Dec 1989 Correlated Contemporary Event: The border wall at Mödlareuth is opened one month after the Berlin Wall, and civilians are free to cross between either side for the first time in nearly forty years. Primary Manifestation Event Summary: None. Secondary Manifestation Event Summary: Uniquely among recorded SCP-3595 manifestations, only Heinrich Schmidt reported seeing it during this event. SCP-3595 expressed joy at its family being reunited again and repeatedly requested his uncle visit them on the other side of the border. After reassuring SCP-3595 that he would, it de-manifested. SCP-3595 was present in Heinrich's house for a total of forty-five minutes. SCP-3595 Emotional Effect Summary: As they met other townspeople on the opposite side of the wall, both civilians and border guards repeatedly mentioned Christian Schmidt, going so far as to call the border crossing "Christian's Passage". No other long-term effects noted. Amnestics not issued due to low-intensity of emotional effect and possible correlation with non-anomalous recollections of the murder triggered by the border opening. Addendum 3595.A: Cessation of Anomalous Activity: On 3 Oct 1990, SCP-3595's last known manifestation was recorded, occurring shortly after the official dissolution of East Germany and the reunification of the country at midnight. SCP-3595 manifested on top of a preserved section of the border wall and sang the first stanza to Auferstanden aus Ruinen (Risen From Ruins)3. After briefly pausing and smiling, SCP-3595 then sang the third stanza of Deutschlandlied4, de-manifesting after the song's conclusion. Following SCP-3595's manifestation, residents of the town reported feelings of optimism and happiness, though this may have been due to either SCP-3595's effect or the reunification of the country. SCP-3595 was not seen again after this date, and was declared Neutralized on 3 Oct 1993. Footnotes 1. Colloquially called "Little Berlin" by Foundation and Allied forces, due to a wall dividing the town in a similar manner to the Berlin Wall from 1966-1990. 2.

Although both hailed from Mödlareuth, Hanna's family lived on the Bavarian (West German) side and Adolf's family lived on the Thuringian (East German) side. From 1949 onwards their in-laws were thus divided by the border, which became separated by a physical fence in 1952. Christian grew up with his parents and his mother's family living in close proximity on the West German side, occasionally making visits to the other family before the border was closed. Although Christian excelled in school and was described by friends and relatives as inquisitive and friendly, he expressed dismay at the division of his extended family by the border. In particular, he greatly missed the regular visits to his uncle Heinrich (1911-2005), and eventually decided to make a visit to him without his parents' knowledge. On 30 Jul 1952, Christian attempted to cross the border dividing his village; despite stern warnings from the border guards, he insisted on trying to make it over and was mortally wounded by a shot from an East German border guard while crossing the narrow creek that separated the two sides. Christian's death caused a minor international incident between the two Germanies and border patrol by the GDR become even more stringent following the incident. In 1962, the Foundation entered into a confidential agreement with the Soviet Union, the German Democratic Republic, and the Federal Republic of Germany on the containment of SCP-35952. The Foundation agreed to administer containment efforts on both sides of the border with the understanding that Foundation agents would not attempt entry into East Germany outside of Mödlareuth without the approval of East German authorities. Event Log 3595: Notable SCP-3595 Manifestation Events Date: 13 Aug 1961 Correlated Contemporary Event: West Berlin border closed by GDR authorities; construction of Berlin Wall begins. Primary Manifestation Event Summary: This was the first recorded SCP-3595 manifestation event, taking place before Foundation containment was established and primarily relying on civilian eyewitness reports for its accuracy. At midnight, an East German border guard reported seeing an adolescent male banging on the border fence; when he attempted to apprehend the child, it disappeared from his hands and re-manifested on the opposite side of the border while repeating the same behavior. Process continued for approximately two hours until Stasi agents locked down the East German side of the town; West German authorities arrived on the opposite side shortly after. The Soviet Union instructed GRU Division "P" to begin initial investigation and research protocols; duties transferred to Foundation researchers the following year. SCP-3595 Emotional Effect Summary: Residents on both sides of the border reported feelings of unease and dread, with some expressing concern that a nuclear war might begin soon. Analysis of civilian conversations by the GRU indicated unusually frequent mentions of Christian Schmidt in casual conversation, leading to his identification as SCP-3595. Date: 30 Jan 1966 Correlated Contemporary Event: Increased tension between East and West Germany following a letter of reconciliation delivered from Polish bishops to German bishops the previous November. The Communist East German and Polish authorities interpreted the letter as a threat to their rule, and the Roman Catholic Primate of Poland was denied a visa to visit East Germany. Primary Manifestation Event Summary: SCP-3595 appeared on the top of the border fence shortly after 09:00, as local church services were beginning. After stretching its arms out horizontally (presumably in imitation of Jesus on the cross), SCP-3595 sang the Old 100th hymn Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow. After completing the hymn, SCP-3595 sat down on top of the fence with its head in its hands and looked toward the eastern side of Mödlareuth with an expression of sorrow for approximately half an hour. Attempts to remove it from its location were unsuccessful, and it displayed no reaction to Foundation personnel's repeated efforts to move it. Amnestics dispersed. Secondary Manifestation Event Summary: This is the first recorded manifestation event involving Heinrich Schmidt, taking place approximately an hour after the primary event. During standard interrogation, Heinrich reported seeing SCP-3595 manifest in his kitchen and attempt to make conversation with him. After overcoming his initial shock at apparently seeing his nephew alive, he spoke with it for fifteen minutes before alerting authorities. SCP-3595 expressed dismay at not being able to see his uncle for so long, and repeatedly voiced its desire to see their town united again. Heinrich explained the Cold War and the reasons the border would stay closed, and SCP-3595 grew angry and de-manifested. Following a brief debate among researchers, it was decided to enlist Heinrich Schmidt's cooperation in the study of SCP-3595 while placing him under 24/7 surveillance with the assistance of local Stasi agents. SCP-3595 Emotional Affect Summary: Church attendance in Mödlareuth declined approximately 25% on the West German side, with many town residents expressing skepticism of their traditional religious beliefs. Baseline religiosity largely returned by 1970. Date: 25 Sep 1983 Correlated Contemporary Event: The event associated with this manifestation was not initially identified and only became known after the conclusion of the Cold War. On 26 Sep 1983, the Soviet early-response system malfunctioned and indicated that a nuclear attack by the United States was imminent. The Soviet Air Force member on duty, Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov, correctly identified the warning as a false alarm and the day proceeded without incident. Primary Manifestation Event Summary: At 22:00 (10 P.M.), SCP-3595 appeared on the East German side of the border wall and stood still while loudly screaming without pause for approximately five minutes. SCP-3595 de-manifested after ceasing vocalization and amnestics were dispersed. Secondary Manifestation Event Summary: Heinrich Schmidt reported seeing SCP-3595 hiding under his bed, asking if the world was going to end soon. When questioned by Heinrich as to why it thought this, SCP-3595 replied that it "just knew somehow" and would not give further details. After Foundation agents attempted to enter the house and interrogate SCP-3595, the latter vanished as soon as agents were within its line of sight. This is the only recorded manifestation event that did not directly involve Intra-German relations. SCP-3595 Emotional Effect Summary: Residents of Mödlareuth expressed concern about nuclear proliferation, and specifically criticized US President Ronald Reagan for his "warmongering" rhetoric. Date: 9 Dec 1989 Correlated Contemporary Event: The border wall at Mödlareuth is opened one month after the Berlin Wall, and civilians are free to cross between either side for the first time in nearly forty years. Primary Manifestation Event Summary: None. Secondary Manifestation Event Summary: Uniquely among recorded SCP-3595 manifestations, only Heinrich Schmidt reported seeing it during this event. SCP-3595 expressed joy at its family being reunited again and repeatedly requested his uncle visit them on the other side of the border. After reassuring SCP-3595 that he would, it de-manifested. SCP-3595 was present in Heinrich's house for a total of forty-five minutes. SCP-3595 Emotional Effect Summary: As they met other townspeople on the opposite side of the wall, both civilians and border guards repeatedly mentioned Christian Schmidt, going so far as to call the border crossing "Christian's Passage". No other long-term effects noted. Amnestics not issued due to low-intensity of emotional effect and possible correlation with non-anomalous recollections of the murder triggered by the border opening. Addendum 3595.A: Cessation of Anomalous Activity: On 3 Oct 1990, SCP-3595's last known manifestation was recorded, occurring shortly after the official dissolution of East Germany and the reunification of the country at midnight. SCP-3595 manifested on top of a preserved section of the border wall and sang the first stanza to Auferstanden aus Ruinen (Risen From Ruins)3. After briefly pausing and smiling, SCP-3595 then sang the third stanza of Deutschlandlied4, de-manifesting after the song's conclusion. Following SCP-3595's manifestation, residents of the town reported feelings of optimism and happiness, though this may have been due to either SCP-3595's effect or the reunification of the country. SCP-3595 was not seen again after this date, and was declared Neutralized on 3 Oct 1993. Footnotes 1. Colloquially called "Little Berlin" by Foundation and Allied forces, due to a wall dividing the town in a similar manner to the Berlin Wall from 1966-1990. 2.

SCP-3596	keter	Super Justice Containment Action Squadron Forever! Item #: SCP-3596 Special Containment Procedures: After the conclusion of each Nakajima event, SCP-3596 is to be transported back to Site-26 in ██████, Japan. Each Saturday, from the hours of 8 to 10 EST, all news, messages, satellite images and phone calls sent from Japan are to be screened for mention of SCP-3596, and censored accordingly. Widespread amnesticization is to be performed on all individuals in the vicinity of each Nakaijima event. The Japanese military is to be prevented from engaging with SCP-3596-1 instances via similar communications blocking. SCP-3596-1 instances are to be lured away from populated areas via a coordinated effort between Foundation personnel and SCP-3596-2 instances. Minimal weaponry is to be deployed against SCP-3596-1 instances, used only for luring purposes due to redundancy given the structure of a Nakajima event. Large amounts of building materials and cloaking cognitohazards are to be stored at Site-26, for the purposes of repairing damage caused by SCP-3596-1 instances and hiding the process of doing so. Cover stories involving tectonic activity or abandoned construction projects are to be released where necessary. At least 12 personnel meeting the requirements for SCP-3596-2 instances are to be present at Site-26 at all times, to prevent civilians from becoming instances of SCP-3596-2. All onsite personnel are to receive full briefing on the effects of SCP-3596. Description: SCP-3596 is a 4 meter long sarcophagus made out of brightly-colored ABS plastics. The base of the object is colored yellow, with red, blue and green decorative pieces placed on the sides and top. Small electronics such as lights and speakers are frequently placed along the rim of the lid, and upon being opened all such devices activate. In the center of SCP-3596's lid is a label reading "スーパージャスティス封じ込めアクション戦隊!"1 and a 20cm by 8cm television screen. On every other Saturday at exactly 8:30 AM EST, SCP-3596 will undergo a Nakajima event. A Nakajima event consists of the following sequence of events: All lights and speakers on SCP-3596 will activate simultaneously for 30 seconds. The television screen displays the message "Up Next: Super Justice Containment Action Squadron!". A cloud of non-toxic colored smoke will appear around SCP-3596, obstructing it from view. SCP-3596 and the current iterations of SCP-3596-2 teleport to a semi-random location in Japan, always remanifesting at an elevated position within a 7 kilometer radius from any major city. Recordings show that the objects reappear in a cloud of smoke, similarly to when disappearing. SCP-3596-2 instances will reappear wearing brightly-colored lycra bodysuits reinforced with kevlar, often decorated with patterns or other additions. SCP-3596's lid flips open, and a bolt of lightning will manifest regardless of current weather and strike the interior2, releasing a 50-meter plume of colored sparks and smoke. SCP-3596 shows no signs of damage from these events. Upon the smoke clearing, an instance of SCP-3596-1 will have manifested. The SCP-3596-1 instance will monologue for up to 40 seconds, before either attacking all present SCP-3596-2 instances or moving towards the nearest city and attempting to inflict damage to any structures found there. It is noted that no human casualties have occurred due to an instance of SCP-3596-1, usually with statistical anomalies occurring to prevent this. Within 30 minutes of the Nakajima event's beginning, the SCP-3596-1 instance will claim to have been defeated by the SCP-3596-2 instances, make threats of revenge, then demanifest in a cloud of smoke. This will occur regardless of any actions taken by SCP-3596-2 instances or outside forces. SCP-3596 will display a message on its screen stating the date of the next Nakajima event, as well as the message "Tune in next time!". SCP-3596-1 is the collective designation for any anomalous entities manifesting during a Nakajima event. SCP-3596-1 instances vary greatly in appearance, but the majority of instances are bipedal humanoids standing between 25 and 30 meters in height, with the largest instance to date measuring 36 meters tall. Many SCP-3596-1 instances wear heavily ornamented armor or masks, and wield similarly decorated weapons. SCP-3596-1 instances may have additional limbs, such as wings or tails, and in some cases multiple sets of arms. Descriptions of several SCP-3596-1 instances are included below: Designation: SCP-3596-1A Incidents On Record: Incidents N-3596-01, N-3596-14, N-3596-15, N-3596-32 Description: A bipedal humanoid standing 31 meters tall, with four arms and coarse red skin. Wears a metallic breastplate, helmet and boots, as well as oversized shoulderpads. The helmet is equipped with a visor covering the eyes and mouth, and two curling horns on either side of the head. A red X is emblazoned on the breastplate. Designation: SCP-3596-1C Incidents On Record: Incidents N-3596-04, N-3596-09, N-3596-32 Description: A bipedal humanoid standing 27 meters tall, with pale blue scales and a fish-like appearance. Flesh has a rubbery texture. Has gills on the side of the neck, and large fins placed alongside the body. Fingers and toes are webbed. Wears a long green cape with decorative spikes around the collar. Carries a 18-meter long spear, with the spearhead sculpted to resemble an anatomically incorrect fish skeleton. SCP-3596-2 is the collective designation given to a group of 3 to 6 semi-random preexisting individuals affected during a Nakajima event. These individuals must be within a 0.8 kilometer radius of SCP-3596 during the activation of the event; if not enough individuals that meet the necessary conditions are present, the radius will increase until the conditions are met, with a delay of several seconds. Different SCP-3596-2 instances have been selected for every Nakajima event to date. It has been observed that all SCP-3596-2 instances fall within at least one of the following categories: A physically fit male who was enrolled in any form of sports team between the ages of 12 to 18 A person wearing a cap backwards at the time of the Nakajima event A female with hair done in a ponytail at the time of the Nakajima event A person who wears glasses and achieved academic honors between the ages of 12 and 18 A male of African-American descent A person of Asian descent A person who bears any level of resentment for any other current SCP-3596-2 instance A dog A person who has trained in any form of martial arts between the ages of 12 and 18 A person wearing an outfit at least 60% compromised of a single primary or secondary color A sample transcript of a Nakajima event is enclosed below. + Show Document - Hide Document Incident Designation: Incident N-3596-04 SCP-3596-1 Instances: SCP-3596-1C SCP-3596-2 Instances: D-00852 Researcher Thompson Researcher Kells [BEGIN LOG] Nakajima event triggers. SCP-3596-1C manifests, and SCP-3596-2 instances are selected and subsequently teleported. Personnel remanifest on a hilltop opposing SCP-3596-1C, 5 kilometers from the town of ███████ in the Nagano prefecture. D-00852 has manifested wearing an orange bodysuit, and Researchers Thompson and Kells are wearing blue and green respectively. SCP-3596-1C: Hahaha! The ocean now walks on land! And you, Super Justice Containment Action Squadron, will never stop me, for I am Gill-Munra! The champion of the sea! Researcher Kells: Oh god, I knew I shouldn't have worn the green sweater and socks, why did it have to be me? Researcher Thompson: Dammit Kyle, pull it together. Better you than a civilian. D-00852: My, uh, my jumpsuit changed shape. Oh hey, there's a, uh, fish over there. The two researchers turn to see SCP-3596-1C. Researcher Kells screams and runs. SCP-3596-1C: Yes, run in terror! Take this! Hikō Barakūda Sutoraiku!3 SCP-3596-1C leaps forwards while extending one leg into a kick. Researcher Kells curls into a ball, presumably out of fear, and a translucent green barrier manifests in the air around him and the other SCP-3596-2 instances. The kick collides with it, and richochets off, causing SCP-3596-1C to land on a grove of trees further down the hill, destroying them. SCP-3596-1C: Curses! The Cowering Tortoise technique! No matter, for Gill-Munra is not so easily bested! Let's see you block the Sea Dragon's Breath! SCP-3596-1C takes a deep breath before shooting a stream of high-pressure water from its mouth. Researcher Thompson and D-00852 drag Researcher Kells aside and all three roll down the hill before the stream hits. Significant damage is dealt to the terrain where the water makes contact. Researcher Thompson: It's causing too much collateral damage. We're only lucky that the event triggered in an uninhabited area. Any ideas on-Kyle, get back here-Any ideas on how to stop it? We have support inbound, but it'll be a few minutes. D-00852: It's a fish, right? So, uh, can we dry it out? Researcher Thompson: If the sun hasn't done anything by now, I doubt we can pull it off with what we have here. Researcher Thompson gestures upwards towards the sun while speaking. The sunlight immediately intensifies, before a beam of light shoots downwards from the sky, hits Researcher Thompson's hand, and reflects back before hitting SCP-3596-1C, who had just moved around the hill to approach the personnel. SCP-3596-1C: Yeaargh! The Sanransu No Kansō!4 How did you figure out my weakness? You haven't seen the last of Gill-Munra! The ocean will have its revenge! SCP-3596-1C runs to a nearby pond, before jumping in and demanifesting, concluding the Nakajima event. D-00852: Huh. Is this, uh, the part where we tell kids to stay in school? [END LOG] Addendum 1: On 6/16/████, incident N-3596-32 occurred. This was the 32nd and final Nakajima event on record, with no additional Nakajima events occurring to date.5 During incident N-3596-32, all previously encountered instances of SCP-3596-1 manifested and a total of 28 personnel were selected as SCP-3596-2 instances. In addition, the event lasted for twice the normal duration at approximately 58 minutes. Transcripts of event N-3596-32 are level 3 classified. After the event's conclusion, no message appeared on SCP-3596's screen, and instead the lid unlocked and was able to be opened. Inside was found a total of six neatly folded bodysuits identical to those worn by SCP-3596-2 instances, including helmets, boots and gloves. Each bodysuit was a different color, and all had the Foundation logo emblazoned on the chest and helmet. In addition, a single photograph was included, depicting a group of Asian men smiling and laughing. Each individual wore a costume corresponding to an instance of SCP-3596-1, with the masks and/or helmets removed and usually held in the hands. On the back of the photograph a short message was written, reading: Thank you for being in our show! Super Justice Containment Action Squadron Forever! The individuals in the photograph have yet to be successfully identified. Footnotes 1. Translating into "Super Justice Containment Action Squadron!" from Japanese. 2.

D-41562 is administered 50mg Class-I amnestics and sent into the building with the requested supplies. Apparently making use of said materials, D-11560 reports that preliminary containment had been achieved. The building was condemned by agents within the NYC Department of Buildings and was rebuilt as Provisional Site-597. During this process a standard humanoid containment chamber was built around the former kitchen area. The site was then acquired by Foundation front company Sunny Childcare and Preschool. The special containment procedures were formalized, and Dr. Archibald declared SCP-3597 contained. Afterwords, all personnel not inside the containment chamber were amnesticized and transferred to different projects. Guards with no knowledge of SCP-3597 except for its containment procedures were stationed within Provisional Site-597. To date there have been no breaches. Footnotes 1. Both coroners who attempted autopsies suffered from internal hemorrhaging before being able to communicate cause of death. No further autopsies have been attempted. 2. Upon examination, child appeared to be in normal condition. However, medical staff complained of head pain. 3. D-57702 has no previous experience using stilt shoes.

SCP-3598	euclid	Item #: SCP-3598 Special Containment Procedures: The entrance to Bishop's Glen Memorial Park has been moved to the southern end of the park. Foundation agents under the guise of park rangers are to detain any person(s) attempting to enter the park outside of the southern public entrance. All materials recovered from SCP-3598 are to be stored in biological containment units. Description: SCP-3598 is an extra-dimensional location accessible from Bishop's Glen Memorial Park, Columbiana County, Ohio. SCP-3598 is visually and geographically identical to Bishop's Glen and its surroundings, though SCP-3598 is observed to exist in a state of perpetual autumn. Although the area outside SCP-3598 is also visible, attempting to exit the confines of the park will cause the individual to leave SCP-3598. SCP-3598 appears to overlap with Bishop's Glen; those exiting SCP-3598 in a particular location will find themselves in the equivalent area outside Bishop's Glen. SCP-3598 is only accessible under certain conditions. If these conditions are not met in order, entry to SCP-3598 is impossible. The individual must enter Bishop's Glen from geographic north. The individual must then walk for at least thirty continuous minutes within the park; direction is irrelevant. Moving faster than what would commonly be considered "walking" will upset the required conditions. After thirty minutes have passed, the individual must make their way to the creek located in the south-east portion of the park. At this point, running or sprinting will meet the required conditions. Climbing down to the creek bed from any point will place the individual within SCP-3598. Displacement is instantaneous. SCP-3598 was discovered by the Foundation after an anonymous letter was received by the Columbiana County Sheriff's Office detailing how to find and enter SCP-3598.

SCP-3599	euclid	Item #: SCP-3599 Special Containment Procedures: Microsite-6117 is to be established in Detroit, Michigan and staffed according to NHLR1 guidelines. MS-6117 is to be additionally staffed with a contingent of C-Class personnel trained in hazardous industrial environments, who are to work 12 hour shifts within SCP-3599 on a schedule organized to ensure each SCP-3599-1 terminal is used exactly once per day. Under no circumstances are C-Class personnel to disclose information about Earth, the Foundation, or humanity in general to any other lifeforms within SCP-3599. Detailed observational reports are to be submitted after each shift. Access to SCP-3599-1 terminals is to be restricted by unobtrusive means. The optimal containment method is construction of a discrete concrete structure; chain fences and metal gates are acceptable alternatives. Small standing structures found to contain instances of SCP-3599-1 should be purchased immediately with MS-6117 discretionary funds. One guard should be stationed at each SCP-3599-1 terminal in a disguise suitable to the surrounding environment. SCP-3599-1 terminals in locations that unduly complicate containment2 are to be denied use for a period of five consecutive days or destroyed under the pretense of construction work. After this period, all available MS-6117 resources are to be tasked with searching the surrounding 10 km2 region for the replacement SCP-3599-1 terminal. Access to citywide surveillance devices is to be allowed for this purpose through the US-ITAP initiative. Deactivated terminals are to be dismantled and transferred to Site-64 for storage. Description: SCP-3599 is an orbital manufacturing complex located 16 light-years from Earth. The workforce of SCP-3599 is comprised of human and alien lifeforms transported to it by anomalous means. These workers organize themselves and labor at assembly lines in 12-hour shifts. A small percentage of the workforce act as supervisors and refer vaguely to another level of management (the "Foreman.") SCP-3599 is an unsafe work environment according to OSHA standards, and untrained laborers experience a fatality rate of approximately 30%. Affected individuals have reported difficulty formulating complex thoughts or remembering mission taskings while in close proximity to the assembly lines. The final product of the manufacturing process has yet to be identified, but is known to contain electrical circuitry, biological components, and complex lens arrays. SCP-3599-1 is the collective designation of terminals used to access to SCP-3599. All known instances of SCP-3599-1 are currently located in the city of Detroit, Michigan, typically in alleys, basements, or other secluded areas. SCP-3599-1 instances resemble early 20th-century punch clocks, consisting of two wooden card racks, an analog clock, and a punching mechanism. A sign is posted over each terminal stating "A star shines. A worker works." Terminals that go unused for five days or suffer irreparable damage cease to function as SCP-3599 instances and are replaced by a new terminal within 10 km2. The process by which new terminals are generated remains unknown. When an individual clocks in3 at an SCP-3599-1 terminal, the nearest doorway is converted into a portal leading to SCP-3599 for approximately 40 seconds. Any individual who clocks in at an SCP-3599-1 terminal will become convinced they have acquired a desirable job. These workers perform with above-average enthusiasm, but can be motivated to resign through conventional means without causing distress above normal levels (higher levels have been observed in repeat workers.) At the conclusion of a shift, SCP-3599-1 terminals dispense payment at the rate of $5.35 per hour. 86% of first-time workers have expressed a desire to return for at least one additional shift despite poor conditions and sub-standard pay. SCP-3599 workers do not recognize their experience as being out of the ordinary under any circumstances. SCP-3599-2 is the F-type hypergiant star positioned at one foci of SCP-3599's orbit. Neuroimaging of repeat workers has revealed unusually high levels of activity in the amygdala and hindbrain region when discussing SCP-3599-2. The nature of this reaction is unknown, and individuals who experience it do not deviate significantly from baselines under standard testing procedures. Addendum 3599-A (C-Class Exit Interview): [OPEN ADDENDUM.] [CLOSE ADDENDUM.] Prepared by the Administrative Department Subject: Micro-Site 6117 Exit Interview Interviewed: Jonas Murkowski, Skilled Maintenance (C-Class) Interviewer: Dr. Kim Antoche, MS-6117 Senior Researcher Foreword: Exit interview of Jonas Murkowski, who worked as a member of the SCP-3599 labor contingent for three years. In this time, he passed all regular physical and mental fitness tests and performed beyond expectations in the field. Immediate reassignment was requested due to familial difficulties. Dr. Antoche: No need to look so nervous, Jonas. It's just a formality. I've already passed on your transfer request with my recommendation, and the security chief's, and your supervisor's. Really, you could have asked for reassignment any time with your record. J. Murkowski: I just didn't want to let the rest of the team down, ma'am. Dr. Antoche: No need to worry about us. We'll manage. J. Murkowski: Good, good. It's just… Dr. Antoche: Just? J. Murkowski: I'm worried about my other job, ma'am. It's bad form to quit without a word. My grandpa was always furious about that, back at the mill. And the Foreman? His temper's worse than my grandpa's. Worse by far. Dr. Antoche: There's not much we can do about that, I'm afraid. You know the regulations. J. Murkowski: The Foreman's been awfully good to us, is all. Never said an unkind word we didn't deserve, always let us out a few minutes early when we were ahead of schedule, that sort of thing. Feels a bit cruel to leave him out in the lurch just a few days before we're supposed to finish production. Dr. Antoche: Production is ending soon? I haven't heard anything about that. J. Murkowski: The Foreman had us sign a contract, all us regulars. Non-disclosure. He's always going on about how these goods are going to make a big bang on the trading floor. And if I went and spoiled that? Well, I'd rather not think about that. Not one bit. I probably shouldn't even have told you now. If he finds out… 12 seconds of silence. Dr. Antoche: Well, I couldn't possibly ask you to violate your contract any further. I hope you enjoy your next position, Jonas. J. Murkowski: Thank you, ma'am. Closing Statement: Under the direction of Dr. Antoche, Jonas Murkowski was transferred to Site-75 for interrogation, where he proved unwilling to discuss SCP-3599 production or "the Foreman." Addendum 3599-B (Incident Review): [OPEN ADDENDUM.] [CLOSE ADDENDUM.] Further review of MS-6117 personnel revealed 23 individuals who had similarly withheld information in their regular observation reports. Over the course of their interrogations, eleven affected personnel suffered hemorrhagic strokes while attempting to describe the "Foreman." Frequently used terms in these descriptions include: Imposing (8 cases,) bright (10 cases,) sleepless (11 cases,) massive (13 cases,) unyielding (17 cases,) and radiant (23 cases.)

SCP-3600	thaumiel	Documenting Doomsday Nonhazardous sample of Trilisect-A created by Dr R████ during testing. 76% accurate as determined by AOCRS. Item # : SCP-3600 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3600 is an Epsilon Class Cognitohazard, and should not be directly viewed by Foundation personnel under any circumstances. Suspected or unconfirmed instances of SCP-3600 are not to be viewed until proper testing can be performed to determine their status. SCP-3600 can be temporarily contained by covering it in an opaque material until proper containment can be established. Limited exposure of D-Class personnel to SCP-3600 is permitted for testing purposes with approval from the Site Director. No personnel should be exposed to more than 3 characters of SCP-3600 during these tests, unless occurring as a part of Project Theia. SCP-3600-1 is to be stored in a custom-fitted steel case, sealed via welding to ensure it cannot be accessed. Any suspected or confirmed instances of SCP-3600-2 are to be recovered pending analysis, and then either destroyed or contained as appropriate. Description: SCP-3600 is a previously undocumented language, believed to originate in Mesopotamia, circa 3000BC, that when accurately rendered on a static surface produces a cognitohazardous effect. The language, designated Trilisect-A, superficially resembles Cuneiform, though with significantly more variety and complexity. SCP-3600-1 is a stone tablet measuring 3.7m x 1.8m x 0.25m, containing over 10,000 unique individual characters of SCP-3600 on its "front" face. When viewed directly by a conscious, sapient entity, SCP-3600 transfers to the viewer a detailed knowledge of potential K-Class scenarios. The viewer will become aware of this knowledge over the course of approximately 48 hours. Each individual character in SCP-3600 imparts knowledge of a single scenario, though this effect has been shown to be multiplicative; if an individual is exposed to multiple characters, the number of scenarios of which they have knowledge will be greater than the number of characters they have seen. In order to count as an instance of SCP-3600 and thus possess cognitohazardous properties, a character must match the original (as seen on SCP-3600-1) with an accuracy of at least 91%, as determined by the Advanced Optical Character Recognition System (AOCRS). Characters below 91% accuracy will possess no anomalous properties. Additionally, digital photographs and video recordings of SCP-3600 have been determined to be safe for viewing. Scenarios imparted by SCP-3600 range from the natural or man-made (asteroid impacts, nuclear war, global pandemics, etc.) to the anomalous, with these scenarios typically being the result of a failure to contain (or the improper handling of) anomalous phenomena. Along with the knowledge of the scenario itself, viewers of SCP-3600 also gain any knowledge that would be required to bring that scenario to actuality. Knowledge gained from SCP-3600 typically manifests as the ability to construct anomalous devices possessing the required functionality to trigger the specific scenario. Devices constructed in this way are designated SCP-3600-2. In cases where an SCP object is involved they might instead gain an awareness of how to breach containment on the object or, in cases of currently uncontained anomalies, where that object might be found. If the scenario can be brought about without the use of anomalous technology, knowledge of how to use available resources to create mundane technology is granted.1 For a list of recovered SCP-3600-2 instances, see attached document 3600-2 Recovery Log. Incident Report 3600-01: On ██/██/201█, Senior Researcher Dr R████ was inadvertently exposed to 27 characters of SCP-3600 while performing tests to determine if cognitohazardous effects could be produced by mechanical replication of SCP-3600. Six hours after this exposure, he entered a coma-like state and remained non-responsive for 86 hours. Following a mandatory four week evaluation period, during which time Dr R████ provided documentation on 37 different K-Class scenarios, he was allowed to return to active duty. + SCP-3600 Experiment Notes - SCP-3600 Experiment Notes Summary of informationally relevant tests involving SCP-3600. All SCP-3600 characters involved in tests confirmed to be cognitohazardous beforehand unless otherwise noted. For a full log contact the Senior Researcher. Experiment 005 Subject: D-5674-3 Test: Exposure to 3600-72-K2 Result: D-5674-3 provided detailed knowledge on an anomalous plant species that consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide which would rapidly spread across the Earth, quickly out-competing most extant plant species and resulting in the removal of oxygen from Earth's atmosphere, triggering an RK-Class restructuring scenario. According to D-5674-3 the anomalous plant species can easily be created by [DATA EXPUNGED] Experiment 006 Subject: D-5674-3 Test: Exposure to 3600-102-B1 Result: D-5674-3 gained detailed knowledge on the progress and long-term effects of a nuclear-war induced Nuclear Winter scenario. Additionally, he was able to provide detailed designs for 3 different types of nuclear device of which one was a previously unconsidered design estimated to have an explosive yield of ███Mt. Notes: D-5674-3 possesses an education level analogous to that of an American high school graduate. Supplied plans for the aforementioned devices suggest a education equivalent to advanced degrees in physics, chemistry, and mechanical engineering. Experiment 007 Subject: D-5674-3 Test: Exposure to 3600-14-X1 Result: After 48 hours, D-5674-3 possessed knowledge of 3 additional scenarios: An XK-Class end-of-the-world scenario triggered by the impact of asteroid ███-█ with the Earth, along with details for the construction of a device he described as a "Gravity Lance", which would pull the asteroid into Earth's orbital path. An NK-Class self-replicating material scenario caused by the uncontrolled release of SCP-███. Additionally, he claimed to have knowledge of how to break SCP-███ out of its containment in Site-██ as well as a method by which SCP-███'s effects could be duplicated. A CK-Class restructuring scenario that would result in every civilisation that emerged outside of the African continent prior to 1801 being erased from history. Information supplied by D-5674-3 resulted [DATA EXPUNGED], which has now been contained as SCP-████. Notes: D-5674-3 is currently working with Foundation scientists on a modified version of his proposed "Gravity Lance", for potential use in deflecting Earth-hazardous asteroids. Experiment 015 Subject: D-7466-7 Test: Exposure to a random selection of 50 SCP-3600 characters. Result: D-7466-7 immediately began seizing, and soon after entered a coma-like state. MRI scans show significant neurological trauma. D-7466-7 did not recover and was terminated after 2 months of observation. Experiment 017 Subject: D-6752-1 Test: Exposure to a random selection of 50 SCP-3600 characters, one per day, over the course of 50 days. Result: Following the third day, D-6752-1 reported an awareness of an exponentially increasing number of scenarios. D-6752-1 began to display signs of depression following the 11th exposure. After the 22nd exposure, suggestions of a desire to construct an instance of SCP-3600-2 were noted by research staff. Following exposure of the 35th character in the test set, D-6752-1 displayed signs of significant mental degradation and, following exposure to the 40th character, entered a catatonic state in which she recited details on various scenarios in a monotone voice without pause for 325 hours, before expiring from exhaustion. Experiment 027 Subject: D-3453-9 Test: Exposure to 3600-81-C3, with intention to allow partial construction of any anomalous technology. Result: See Recovery Log entry SCP-3600-2-B Experiment 037 Subject: D-5768-4 Test: Exposure to 3600-1-A1 through 3600-20-A1 sequentially, with 2 days between each exposure. Result: Following exposure to 3600-15-A1, D-5768-4 began to show symptoms of anxiety and depression. He claimed to have knowledge of 68 separate K-Class scenarios. Following the conclusion of the test, D-5768-4 claimed knowledge of 93 separate K-Class scenarios, and was additionally showing symptoms of emotional detachment and disassociation. Addendum: 2 weeks after the conclusion of Experiment 037, D-5768-4 was caught attempting to steal a quartz crystal, used as a paper weight, from the office of █████ ███████. A search of his cell revealed multiple stolen items to which D-5768-4 later confessed were to be components in an instance of SCP-3600-2. Based on his description it is unlikely that he would have been able to complete the device with the resources available to him. A restriction on the number of characters a single individual can be exposed to has been implemented. Update: Results submitted to Project Theia. - SCP-3600 Experiment Notes Discovery Notes SCP-3600 was discovered during an archaeological dig ██km outside of ████. The Foundation became aware of SCP-3600 after the loss of contact with the archaeological team and subsequent civilian investigation; of the 14 original team members, 11 were dead,2 two were in a coma and severely dehydrated, and one was missing. A further █ Foundation personnel were lost as casualties before the nature of SCP-3600 became known. The missing team member from the dig was tracked and found six weeks later, along with a partially constructed instance of SCP-3600-2.3 He was terminated by Foundation personnel when he became violent during apprehension. Archaeological digs in sites potentially pertaining to ████████ culture are to be monitored by Foundation assets for potential instances of SCP-3600-1. Addendum: 6 months following Incident 3600-01, Senior Researcher R████ was apprehended trying to remove SCP-████ from containment. An investigation revealed a warehouse rented by Dr R████ under a pseudonym in which a large, complex device was found.4 Psychological analysis of Dr R████ revealed signs of severe depression and disassociation, which failed to show up in post-incident checkups. See Interview Transcript 04353-A for Interview and Incident 3600-02 transcript. + Interview Transcript 04353-A - Interview Transcript 04353-A Date: November ██, 201█ Interviewee: Former Researcher Dr ████████ R████ Interviewer: Site Director ████ C█████████ [BEGIN LOG] Director C█████████: Tell me about the device, ████████. Why… why would you build something like that? Dr R████: What do you want me to say, ████? That I did it for the good of the Foundation? Scientific curiosity, that I was compelled? Director C█████████: Come on, R████! You know what happens next! Ten minutes from now they're going to stick you in a box and you'll probably never see the outside of it again! I just… I need to know why. Dr R████: Why? You know the kinds of shit we deal with every day. The things we've seen, the things we've supposedly contained, they don't even scratch the surface! Do you know how many of these… these… these K-Class scenarios I've got in my head? Dozens, maybe hundreds! Director C█████████: Why didn't you say something? We could have helped you. Dr R████ laughs sharply Dr R████: How? The amnestics didn't work. And that's basically the only tool we have here isn't it. Lock it up or make everyone forget it was there in the first place. The Foundation, the grand arbiters of what should and shouldn't be known. Director C█████████: We keep people safe, dammit! You know that! You used to believe that! Dr R████ speaks quietly. Dr R████: Now I know better… Dr R████: Do you know how many of these scenarios will trigger, within a year, if we just wait? No fancy devices, no breached containment. We just sit here and the end will come. And when it does, you'll wish you'd let me finish that thing! I bet you've already got it locked up in some room downstairs, desperately trying to work out what it does. Who's working on it? █████████, █████? The world will have ended three times over before they learn anything. Director C█████████: My God, ████████, have you lost your mind?! The reason we do what we do, the reason the Foundation exists is to stop the things you're describing! The world continues because we don't just sit here and wait! Tell us what these things are, and we'll stop them! Dr R████: You can't stop what's coming. Not all of it. And when it happens, in those last moments, you'll understand why I built the device. It would have been quick, painless. What's coming won't be. Dr R████ pauses briefly, and sighs. Dr R████: I didn't want to have to do it this way. It's not as clean or simple as I would have liked. But you've left me little choice. I'm sorry, ████. Director C█████████: What? What are you ta- Dr R████ stands up. [WARNING, ACTIVE MEMETIC HAZARD DETECTED. PURGING AFFECTED CONTENT] Director C█████████ collapses to the ground and begins seizing. Dr R████: This won't be pretty. Certainly not for anyone nearby. But it will get the job done, and it's still better than the alternatives. Dr R████ takes a pen from Director C█████████'s jacket and begins forcefully scoring symbols into the skin of the Director's arm. A few seconds later the door is kicked open by response teams. Agent ██████: Stop what you're doing! Down the grou- [WARNING, ACTIVE MEMETIC HAZARD DETECTED. PURGING AFFECTED CONTENT] Response team members collapse and begin seizing. Dr R████ is silent for the remainder of the log, while he continues to mark symbols on various parts of Director C█████████'s body. 47 seconds later an incendiary device can be seen rolling through the door. Recording equipment is destroyed. [END LOG] Director C█████████ and Dr R████ were both pronounced dead following the incident. Research into the origin of the memetic agent used by Dr R████ is ongoing. The symbols being carved into the Directors skin were consistent with those found on SCP-███. Effects of inscribing them onto the skin of a living subject is unknown. Research ongoing. Following this incident all subjects exposed to SCP-3600 for tests, including those conducted as part of Project Theia, are to remain in Class 3 memetic quarantine until the nature of the knowledge granted to them can be confirmed to contain no memetic, infohazardous or cognitohazard dangers. - Interview Transcript 04353-A + Access Project Theia Brief - Close Project Theia Brief Project Theia Foreword Following the incidents involving Former Researcher Dr ████████ R████ and after analysing the data acquired from test subjects after exposure to SCP-3600, it has been decided by the O5 Council that the value of the information that can be extracted from 3600 far outweighs the risk associated with the process. To that end, Project Theia has been formed with the following goals: To document individually each scenario of which exposure to SCP-3600 confers knowledge. To map each scenario to its corresponding character or characters in SCP-3600. To research the origins of SCP-3600 and SCP-3600-1 in an attempt to determine if more examples of SCP-3600 exist undiscovered. This will undoubtedly take time; conservative estimates based on the multiplicative nature of SCP-3600 exposure put the number of potential scenarios to be documented in the millions. By necessity, progress will be slow. But the information to be gained here may mean the difference between the continuation of human life and the extinction of everything we strive to protect. - O5-4 Test Brief As documented in early test cases and Incident 3600-01, there are certain risks associated with SCP-3600 exposure. In order to mitigate those risks, the following restrictions are placed on subjects being exposed to SCP-3600. Under no circumstances are test subjects to be exposed to more than 25 individual characters of SCP-3600, until such time as the risk of severe neurological trauma and significant psychological issues can be mitigated or avoided entirely. No test subject shall be exposed to more than one character of SCP-3600 per week, and not until all scenarios of which they currently have knowledge have been documented. Following the 10th exposure (and completion of subsequent documentation), test subjects may request to be transferred out of Project Theia. Those wishing to continue their participation in the project must submit to rigorous psychological analysis following each exposure to in order to screen for potential psychological issues that might arise as a result. Additionally, the time between each exposure is increased to a minimum of 2 weeks. Should a test subject begin displaying any psychological changes as a result of SCP-3600 exposure, or should they reach the allotted limit of 25 exposures, they are to be transferred out of Project Theia following the completion of relevant documentation. These steps are intended to reduce the risk of neurological trauma to subjects, and to prevent any significant personality changes in subjects that might cause them to try and put their acquired knowledge to use. To that end, the following restrictions are additionally placed upon potential test subjects: The subject must have no history of significantly traumatic events, and must display no signs of depression, suicidal ideation, sociopathy, psychopathy, or any other psychological condition that might disqualify them from participation as determined by Project Theia psychologists. The subject must possess a level of education no higher than that of a typical graduate of the American high school system. The subject must score at least an 8.5 on the Reinmann-Klashkoff Emotional Stability Test. Foundation personnel are automatically disqualified at this time. Due to the obvious limitations imposed by these restrictions on the number of viable candidates to be found within the D-Class personnel pool, proposals for subjects from alternate sources are currently being considered. Progress Report As of ██/██/201█, individual exposure of 2.7% of the characters on SCP-3600-1 has been completed. When factoring in Compound Scenarios,5 Project Theia has documented over 5,000 potential K-Class scenarios. In addition, information provided by Project Theia has resulted in the containment of █ SCP objects, and the development of █ new pieces of technology currently being tested for potential defensive use. Further access restricted. For full access to Project Theia documentation, please contact your Site Administrator. + SCP-3600-2 Recovery Log - SCP-3600-2 Recovery Log To date, the construction of 3 instances of SCP-3600-2 have been documented. SCP-3600-2-A: Recovered ██/██/200█ Design Notes: Four identical devices in similar stages of construction designed to accept large amounts of input material, connected to large chimney structures, and one device superficially resembling a jet engine oriented with its exhaust pointed upwards. Functionality: The four devices with chimneys, through an anomalous process currently under investigation, are able to break down input material and convert it into a currently unidentified gaseous substance which is then vented into the atmosphere. The turbine-like device appears to be some form of plasma generator designed to fire a continuous stream of plasma into the atmosphere. It is theorised that activating the turbine would cause significant damage to itself and the surrounding area, meaning its operation time would be short. Notes: Testing of the gaseous substance revealed it to be highly explosive when exposed to high-energy plasma particles, though it showed no reaction when in contact with flame or electrical charges. It is theorised that if enough of the gas was pumped into the atmosphere6 the plasma from the turbine would be sufficient to cause a chain reaction, functionally igniting the atmosphere of the planet and resulting in an XK-Class end-of-the-world scenario. Current Status: Disassembled. Parts stored in the Secure Containment Vault at Site-██ pending further analysis of anomalous properties. SCP-3600-2-B: Constructed in Foundation custody. Design Notes: 12 interlocking rings assembled in an 8-meter diameter spherical formation, connected to a mechanical system designed to allow each ring to rotate freely on each axis. A number of similar electronic components attached at various points around each ring. Functionality: Based on the design and description of intended effect, this is an apparent attempt to recreate SCP-319. Notes: Construction and subsequent activation of this device would have resulted in a ZK-Class reality failure scenario, assuming it functioned as intended. Of note is that D-3453-9 made no mention of the anomalous mineral samples found in SCP-319 at any point during construction. Status: Disassembled. Parts sent to Site-319 for analysis. SCP-3600-2-C: Recovered ██/██/201█ Design Notes: A highly complex device combining a variety of purely theoretical and previously unknown technologies. Operation and functionality impossible to determine from visual analysis alone. Functionality: Apparently designed to neutralise, invert, or otherwise interfere with the force of gravity on a per-atom basis throughout local space, to an estimated range of 1.6AU. Notes: All knowledge on the functionality of SCP-3600-2-C was gained from logs and documents recovered from the scene. Unable to theorise on the exact results of activating the device, though it would almost certainly end in a CK-Class restructuring of reality in which the Earth and the Sun no longer exist as physical objects. Of particular concern is that the device was apparently complete at the time of recovery, with the exception of an empty slot obviously designed to contain SCP-████. Status: Disassembled piece by piece and documented over the course of 2 years. Each piece individually destroyed. - SCP-3600-2 Recovery Log Footnotes 1.

SCP-3601	neutralized	An example of a document preserved after an SCP-3601-related reality restructuring event. Item #: SCP-3601 Special Containment Procedures: As of 01/05/2016, after SCP-3601 failed to go through an 3601-event for two consecutive cycles, SCP-3601 is considered neutralized. In January of each even-numbered year, automatic monitoring of the internet for any SCP-3601-related advertising should take place. MTF-Alpha-4 (“Pony Express”) is to intercept any mail or packages addressed to Nueva Hermosillo Public Library, 3600 Central Ave, Nueva Hermosillo, New Mexico. Archived Special Containment Procedures: (void as of 01/05/2016) From January to March of each even-numbered year, during SCP-3601 active phases, MTF-Alpha-4 should be dispensed to intercept all mail sent to Nueva Hermosillo Public Library, 3600 Central Ave, Nueva Hermosillo, New Mexico. Selected Foundation personnel with writing experience, particularly in historical or creative writing, are required to send in entries in response to one of the approved prompts (see Addendum 3601-1). As there is no way to prevent SCP-3601 events, efforts should be focused on reduction and mitigation. Submitted entries should focus on maintaining a similar history while upholding quality of writing. Changes made should be purely cosmetic or inconsequential, and history described ought to adhere to known history as closely as possible. Overnight on the last night of February of each even year, resources should focus on preservation of Foundation documents. Scranton Reality Anchors and any other future ontological stability technology should be activated around any file or record storage. Standard reality stability procedures for essential personnel should also be implemented on this date. Description: (considered void as of 01/05/2016) SCP-3601 is an anomalous creative writing contest. Every two years on January 1st, advertisements, most found online in creative writing communities, will be released. These call for entries into an “Alternate History Writing Contest,” promising prizes in varying amounts of US dollars. The theme of the contest is always “United States History, Post 1970” and the advertisements will always imply or advertise the “grand opening” or first year of the competition. Participants are asked to mail their entries to a public library in Nueva Hermosillo, a New Mexico city which had not been found to exist. Tracking of letters sent has given no conclusive results. However, it has been proven possible to intercept the letters. The deadline for entry is always listed as March 1st. On the last night of February of each year when the contest is held, a CK-class reality restructuring event will occur. Changes as described in the winning entry will become reality. These changes are not fully comprehensive, and will leave traces of the original past, which include printed documents, files, photos, and art pieces. SRAs and similar technology have been useful in preserving documents. Those who submit winning entries will generally have a sense that history is incorrect. In two separate instances, winners retained full memories of the histories they erased. A website, labelled “Nueva Hermosillo Public Library,”1 will be created. The site will always appear on 12:07 PM MST, January 1st. During competition, it will display the theme of the contest and the address to which entries are sent. At the conclusion of the competition, it will announce the winners, and promise to post the winning entry. Afterwards, it will be taken down at 8:32 PM, with no entries posted. No clear pattern is known to the choice of winners, but based on previous winners, it is presumed that winners are chosen based on quality of writing rather than the exact nature of the changes they describe. Addendum 3601-1: Approved Prompts While containment was relevant, personnel referenced a list of approved prompts, which listed entry themes deemed acceptable for submission.

Addendum 3601-3: Containment History 01/01/2006: First Foundation interference. Proposal: Senior Researcher Harrison Monroe proposes the Foundation intercept all contest entries sent by mail. Results: Failure. CK-class reality restructuring event occurs. Attached document: 03/01/2006, posted on kewlcontest.net, Unfortunately, we haven’t received many entries this year. Still, we persevered, and Jonathan, our intern, spread the news around his college! We’re proud to announce our winner to be Abigail Grothaus with her entry “What if Reagan survived his 1981 assassination?” Be on the lookout, we’ll have it up and posted soon! Notes: Recovered documents, including Reagan's 1981 autopsy, obituary, and records of succession; records from the George H. W. Bush administration (now lasting 1981 to impeachment in 1994); and records from the Perot administration, are available upon request. 01/01/2008 Proposal: Dr. Rebecca Schlesinger proposes the Foundation send in attempts at communication. Results: No result. Proposal: Dr. Anna Mitchell proposes the Foundation attempt to preserve documents by utilizing SRA technology. Results: Success. 86% of Foundation documents remain unchanged after 2008 reality restructuring event. 01/01/2010 Proposal: Dr. Rebecca Schlesinger proposes Foundation send in entries. Results: Success. Researcher Prasad’s entry, “What if the Triangle Fire started thirty seconds later?” is the winner. Method of containment is developed. 01/01/2012 Incident 3601-1. Presumed to be cause of neutralization. Addendum 3601-4: Interview Interviewed: Victor George, the writer of the 2004 winning entry. George claimed to remember everything from before he had made the changes. Interviewer: Dr. Schlesinger. Foreword: Interview taken 05/07/2005, after the Foundation became aware of the anomaly. <Begin Log> Schlesinger: Morning, Mr. George. I’m here to talk to you today about a writing contest you participated in about a year ago. George: Yeah, I figured. With the way you guys were talking… Figured you’ve got to be trying to fix this. For what it’s worth, I’m sorry. I didn’t know. Schlesinger: Fine. Er, I mean, it’s fine. I’d like to know how much you understand what your entry had done. How did you find out? George: Well, I woke up that morning, and I looked at the TV, and I was so confused. It took me a bit to connect it to what I wrote, but everything was so much like it. It freaked me out. Schlesinger: You didn’t remember anything about the new present? George: No. Just the normal one. Schlesinger: Did you notice that everything fit what you wrote exactly? George: Well, I don’t have a copy any more. But I think so, yeah. Schlesinger: Now, in your entry, did you list anything that couldn’t happen in the “normal” world? George: Not really, no. I mean, I guess I had some fun with Dick Cheney, doing the whole evil genius thing, and I might have pushed things a bit with the votes, but it had been close. Schlesinger: Anything else you find particularly noteworthy? George: Noteworthy? Well, considering the environment, considering the wars, I might just have ended the world… <End Log> Closing Statement: After this interview, Mr. George was administered amnestics and released. The Foundation was able to recover several unaffected documents from the Gore administration, one of which was instrumental in recovery of SCP-8999. Addendum 3601-5: Incident 3601-1 and Neutralization 01/01/2012 [LEVEL-3 CLEARANCE REQUIRED] [ACESS GRANTED] Incident: Regular containment procedures as developed previously were undertaken. The entry, “What if Hurricane Katrina took a different path, passing exactly four centimeters to the left of where it had instead?” written by Dr. McCumber was the winning entry. The entry contained multiple flaws, the key of which was a throwaway line: […] But let us suppose, then, that a different global wind projected the hurricane to… According to preserved Foundation records, Dr. McCumber was a zoologist with no meteorological expertise. Before the entry was submitted, no one had caught the error. It is hypothesized the entry significantly modified meteorological conditions on a global scale. The scope of the resulting shift is yet to be determined. Over 80% of the planet’s population is hypothesized to be directly affected. Racial, ethnic, and cultural traits recorded in preserved documents, especially concerning the Americas, certain regions of Africa, and the Middle East, vary significantly from those currently reported. Climate, animal species’ number and variance, and even geography of certain areas appear to have been affected. Confirmed changes include: The appearance of Callosciurus prevostii (Prevost's squirrel). The disappearance of the Italian Rainforest. Complete change in genetic make-up in aborginal populations in Australia. The creation of Israel. Nearly complete reordering of African nation states. Extinction of Homo neanderthalensis (Neanderthal) species. [REDACTED]2 Relocation, and restructuring, of Site-29. Full reconstruction is continuing, with further details available in Document 3601-010312. After Incident 3601-1, SCP-3601 failed to become active as normal in 2014, 2016, and 2018. The cause for this is yet unknown. Footnotes 1. With varying URLs 2. Classified 4/1173. Available upon request to those possessing necessary clearance.
SCP-3602	euclid	SCP-3602-A-9 with one of its young. Item #: SCP-3602 Special Containment Procedures: Site-220 is to retain at least one Mandarin-speaking parazoologist specializing in primate behavior and psychology. This researcher, which since 1968 has been Dr. Shufan Shen, is to serve as a liaison to SCP-3602. At least twice weekly, Dr. Shen must conduct visits for the purposes of observation, information gathering, and diplomatic relations. Following Incident-SCP-3602-01, a Mandarin-speaking psychiatrist must also be retained to conduct bi-monthly therapy sessions with each instance of SCP-3602-A. All instances of SCP-3602-A and SCP-3602-B are to be contained within a secluded region of Site-220's Parazoology Reserve, known publicly as the Baihe Natural Reserve.1 Each instance is to be fitted with a remote tracking device, with newborn SCP-3602-B instances receiving one at 6 months of age. Remote surveillance of SCP-3602 is to be maintained at all times, with the recording of SCP-3602-A instances prioritized. Any attempt by an SCP-3602 instance to leave the Parazoology reserve is to be punished by 1 week of confinement within Site-220's holding cells. Repeat offenses are to be punished by confinement periods with lengths escalated accordingly. Description: SCP-3602 is a community of approximately 400 Rhinopithecus roxellana, more commonly known as the Golden snub-nosed monkey. All instances of SCP-3602 are sapient and capable of human speech. Mandarin serves as the primary means of communication, with several local dialects spoken less commonly by older members of the community. Instances have no physiological deviations from non-anomalous specimens, and, with the exception of SCP-3602-A instances, have identical sustenance needs and lifespans. How SCP-3602 instances are capable of human vocalization despite the lack of morphological deviation is unknown. The community makes regular use of simple tools, and is able to utilize fire as a source of warmth. The SCP-3602 population is divided into two distinct groups, SCP-3602-A and SCP-3602-B. SCP-3602-A is a group of 18 specimens that are biologically immortal, with an estimated age of 1800-2200 years. SCP-3602-A serve as the leaders of the community, with roles analogous to that of tribal elders in many human societies. SCP-3602-A instances are incapable of sustaining serious injury regardless of circumstance, and appear to display a high degree of metaphysical permanence. SCP-3602-B instances form the remainder of the community, and are all descended directly or indirectly from the 18 instances of SCP-3602-A. SCP-3602-A claim to be followers of the Chinese deity Sun Wukong, who they credit for their sapience and immortality.2 The oral history of the community is primarily based on Wukong and his exploits. Particular emphasis is placed on his rebellion against the Jade Emperor and the defacement of the register of death, the latter of which is claimed to be the reason SCP-3602-A are unable to die. Tales often end with an instance of SCP-3602-A informing the assembled SCP-3602-B instances that Wukong will someday return to lead them to glory. Multiple instances of SCP-3602-A have confided to Dr. Shen that the storytelling is intended to motivate SCP-3602-B towards ambition and self improvement. SCP-3602-B display noticeably lower intelligence than their immortal forebears, with most having comparable intelligence to Human children aged 5 to 9. Subjects are generally cheerful, easily amused, and have a low attention span. On three occasions between 1968 and 1981, Dr. Shen observed a large scale effort by SCP-3602-A to educate SCP-3602-B on the use of more complex tools. Most notably, in 1975 SCP-3602-A attempted to convince SCP-3602-B to construct and reside in permanent structures. These attempts have failed without exception due to lack of interest on the part of SCP-3602-B, who often mollify their elders by displaying usage of more simple tools instead. Incident SCP-3602-01: On 04/04/1984, SCP-3602-A-9 attempted suicide via self immolation, but was unsuccessful due to its anomalous qualities. Instance was then taken to Site-220 for interrogation regarding the incident. + Show Interview Log - Hide Interview Interviewed: SCP-3602-A-9. Subject is among the primary matriarchs of the community, and responds to the name Sun Daiyu. Interviewer: Dr. Shufan Shen Foreword: Subject was in considerable emotional distress during transport to Site 220, and 2 days elapsed before subject was considered calm enough to be interviewed. Interview is translated from the original Mandarin. <Begin Log> Dr. Shen: "Daiyu, what happened? You've never shown suicidal urges before, why did you try to kill yourself?" SCP-3602-A-9: "Oh tall one3, you've walked among us for more than ten years and yet know so little. This isn't the first time I've tried, nor will it be the last. All among the elders have tried at least once." Dr. Shen: "…Why? You all have your children, your family, your history. I just don't understand." SCP-3602-A-9: "I have lived for two thousand winters. In that time I have birthed, raised, and outlived countless numbers of my children. I have watched our home disappear and the brief glory of our past be forgotten. Sun Wukong raised us up, made us immortal, and together we challenged the gods themselves. How could we ever be satisfied living like the animals we once were? We saw the sun and now walk in the mud for years unending. And wherever our Father is, he has forgotten us." SCP-3602-A-9: "Our children don't understand us. They live brief lives and are content to be mere animals. I am not. I wish I had died when I had the chance. I wish that Wukong had never hatched from the stone egg. I wish that he had remained trapped beneath the mountain, burned by Laozi's fire for all time. It would have been a kinder fate than the one he forced upon us." <End Log> Closing Statement: Dr. Shen submitted a proposal to utilize anomalous means to terminate SCP-3602-A instances should they request euthanasia. Proposal was considered by the regional ethics committee, and denied in a 5 to 4 vote. Footnotes 1. Founded in 1963, Site-220 serves as one of two headquarters of the Foundation's Parazoology Division (the other being Area-12). 48 of the more docile anomalous fauna species are contained within its 163 sq. km reserve. 2. Wukong is also known as Son Goku, the Monkey King, and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. 3. Approximate English rendering of the Mandarin 高个子. General term used by SCP-3602 to describe humans.
SCP-3603	safe	Item #: SCP-3603 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3603 is kept in a standard containment cell in Site-██. At no time should the temperature in the containment cell exceed 4 degrees Celsius. Instances of SCP-3603-1 are to be kept in separate nature facilities depending on the color of powder covering their fur at time of emergence. All testing propositions with this object must be provided with approval from the current project head. Description: SCP-3603 is cereal resembling Captain Crunch's "Oops! All Berries." On the box containing SCP-3603, every "Quaker Oats" is replaced with "Dundle's Food."1 Testing has shown that both the box and plastic bag containing the cereal are not anomalous, although acute feelings of paranoia are not uncommon when observing it. Ingestion or insertion of instances of SCP-3603 into a living being, human or otherwise, results in no anomalous effects. Personnel who have eaten SCP-3603 in tests describe it as being stale, bland, and/or flavorless. SCP-3603 instances act as a seed. When put in a warm, moist environment, SCP-3603 will bloom at a rapid rate. Within 15 minutes, a bulb 2.1 meters tall resembling a large Captain Crunch "berry" will have grown no more than .5 meters away. All attempts to penetrate the bulb have failed. The same effect happens when more than one instances of SCP-3603 are placed 5 millimeters or less apart. When multiples of the same color are placed in this way, no extra effects occur, though when two or more instances of different colors are placed together, they merge and form a new seed the same dimensions as the originals. Where the excess mass goes is currently unknown. This instance of SCP-3603 is the mixed color of the originals. The growth period from here on is completely normal, though the resulting SCP-3603-1 instance is the color of the hybrid seed. After a period of time ranging from 15 minutes to 32 hours, the bulb grown from SCP-3603 will burst, followed by an emergence of SCP-3603-1. SCP-3603-1 instances artificially resemble Ursus Americanus (American Black Bears). The only discernable difference in appearance is instances of SCP-3603-1 are covered in a layer of powder corresponding with the color of SCP-3603 allowed to grow. Testing has shown that this powder is most similar to chalk and contains several non-biological pigments. It is not dangerous in any way and is generally removed due to normal conditions in the nature habitat, i.e. rain and wind. SCP-3603-1 instances have a number of anomalous properties depending on the color/colors allowed to propagate. For a full list, see Addendum SCP-3603-a. SCP-3603-1 instances are docile toward humans, and do not attack unless provoked. They live the normal lifespan of an Ursus Americanus (with birth being substituted for emergence), and are not able to reproduce. They can be terminated through normal means, but show immense strength regardless of color. SCP-3603-1 instances are territorial and have a tendency to fight with those of different emergence colors, even if the powder is not still on other instances. It is unknown how they differentiate between themselves and instances of other colors. Addendum SCP-3603-a Hide SCP-3603 Color: Blue Powder Color: Blue Resulting SCP-3603-1 Anomaly: Blue SCP-3603-1 instances periodically breathe fire. No damage is done to SCP-3603-1 during these episodes. Notes: The fire is seemingly random and uncontrollable. SCP-3603 Color: Purple Powder Color: Purple Resulting SCP-3603-1 Anomaly: Purple SCP-3603-1 instances appear as cubs for their remaining life, but show the same strength as a fully grown non-anomalous American Black Bear. SCP-3603 Color: Red Powder Color: Red Resulting SCP-3603-1 Anomaly: Red SCP-3603-1 instances can bite through any material less than four centimeters thick. They, however, cannot digest any material that they otherwise could not and die shortly after trying to eat the material. SCP-3603 Color: Green Powder Color: Green Resulting SCP-3603-1 Anomaly: Green SCP-3603-1 instances produce waste that acts as a "super fertilizer." When placed 12 meters or less away from any plant life, it will grow at an accelerated rate. Notes: This does not affect SCP-3603 instances. This seems to show that SCP-3603 is not a species of plant. SCP-3603 Colors: Red and Blue Powder Color: Purple Resulting SCP-3603-1 Anomaly: See above SCP-3603 Colors: Green and Red Powder Color: Brown Resulting SCP-3603-1 Anomaly: Brown SCP-3603-1 instances show a heightened sense of smell, and have been shown smelling food from up to 15 kilometers away. SCP-3603 Colors: Green and Blue Powder Color: Turquoise Resulting SCP-3603-1 Anomaly: Turquoise SCP-3603 instances have claws entirely made up of solid oxygen. Upon death, their nails disperse into the air. Inhaling this oxygen has no ill effects. Notes: As of yet, there is no known way to harvest the solid oxygen. All attempts have resulted in the death of the SCP-3603 instance, followed by the disbursement of the oxygen into the atmosphere. SCP-3603 Colors: Purple and Blue Powder Color: Violet Resulting SCP-3603-1 Anomaly: Violet SCP-3603-1 instances appear orange on video or in pictures. No other effects have been observed at this point. SCP-3603 Colors: Purple and Green Powder Color: Gray Resulting SCP-3603-1 Anomaly: Gray SCP-3603-1 instances have a metabolism equivalent to standard lab mice. Notes: These instances have proven quite costly to feed, and as such, should be terminated. No more gray instances of SCP-3603-1 are to be grown. SCP-3603 Colors: Green, Purple, Red, and Blue Powder Color: Jet Black Resulting SCP-3603-1 Anomaly: Black instances of SCP-3603-1 do not exist in our reality. The only visible part of a black SCP-3603-1 anomaly is the emerging powder. After this powder is removed, its ties on reality are removed. Black SCP-3603-1 instances are presumed neutralized afterward, and no trace of them (physical or otherwise) have ever been recorded. Footnotes 1. A Possible Group of Interest for the Foundation specializing in edible food-based anomalies. As of yet, all instances of Dundle's Food related items have been found consumable, albeit anomalous. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3603" by Big_Train_52, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3604	euclid	Item #: SCP-3604 Level 2/3604 Classified A screenshot of SCP-3604's Soundcloud page. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3604 is to be contained within a standard marine life tank in Site-16's Marine Biology Wing. The Wi-Fi chip within SCP-3604 is to be disabled at all times. Following Incident-3604-1, Foundation Webcrawlers are to monitor private messages of Soundcloud rap musicians with fewer than 100 followers. Access to the entity is restricted to personnel with Level-2 clearance or higher. Description: SCP-3604 is a sapient Procambarus digueti1 with an ESP8266 Wi-Fi chip located on the interior dorsal side of its shell, near the heart. SCP-3604 possesses the ability to communicate via the Internet using instant messaging programs, online forums, private messaging services, etc. However, it appears to mainly upload recordings of an unidentified male voice (hereby referred to as SCP-3604-1) rapping onto the music publishing website, Soundcloud. Twelve Soundcloud accounts have been confirmed to be associated with SCP-3604, though it primarily uploads recordings under the account 'craydaddy.' Discovery: SCP-3604 was discovered on 14/7/2012 in The Broads National Park in Norfolk County, England when several wildlife researchers noticed a crawfish showing symptoms of Aphanomyces astaci infestation2. Upon bringing SCP-3604 to an on-location veterinarian, one of the wildlife researchers noticed that nine emails had been sent to her phone, from an anonymous sender. After receiving the emails, both researchers contacted local authorities who were able to track the IP of the emails back to SCP-3604. Nearby Foundation implants were notified of SCP-3604 and were able to recover it without incident. After recovering SCP-3604 one final email was sent to the researcher, though it was shortly intercepted. All civilians involved were administered Class B amnestics. (See Log of Recovered Emails) + Log of Recovered Emails – hide block Message-3604-1 Yo I seriously got to thank you, you are truly my biggest hero. Message-3604-2 Seriously if you want to collab any time at all I will drop everything I'm doing to help. Like I really don't know how else to thank you. Message-3604-3 Can you tell my family I'll miss them. They live about a mile upstream, from where you got me. Mom always gets worried about me. She doesn't need to, I know I'll go big one of these days. Message-3604-4 I really can't say thank you enough. I hope you'll live a great a life. Message-3604-5 I'm sorry for sending another but I was just wondering if you would like to get coffee sometime after this. I know this is a bit soon but you seem like a chill type of girl. Message-3604-6 Don't feel obligated to, it's just a small suggestion. You're a great person, I would love to talk some more. Message-3604-7 Your shoe's untied be careful. I don't want you to trip. Message-3604-8 Hey can you like hold me up a bit higher… I've only ever gotten to see a bird's eye view once… it was pretty. Message-3604-9 Though all of this works too. I mean I guess this still is a bird's eye view. You know I think this is some of the most fun I've had in a long time. Thank you. Message-3604-10 I guess I'll see you later. Tell me if you ever want to collab. And if you don't, don't worry I won't forget you on my path to stardom. I'm sorry if I ever did anything wrong in these messages. Addendum-3604-A On 6/12/2018 Foundation Webcrawlers noted that a Soundcloud account, 'round$huckles', began to upload several raps involving SCP-3604-1 and various aquatic themes. Upon investigation, several chat logs with SCP-3604 were recovered. (See Incident Report-3604-A) + Incident Report-3604-A – hide block Foreword: The following chat logs were recovered from SCP-3604's internal Wi-Fi chip. SCP-3604's messages below are in blue. 12:04 am 5/20/2018 Hey sorry for the message But I just want to say youre a great artist and your songs are really underrated oh thanks and youre… Just call me Craydaddy wait…like really dude I love your stuff also. its kinda crazy that you like my shit.

SCP-3605	safe	SCP-3605/034-A, Iteration 001 Item #: SCP-3605 Special Containment Procedures: Inactive SCP-3605 instances are to be stored in a standard high-value containment locker in Site 73; active SCP-3605 instances are currently being monitored by a rotating containment team. No new photographs are to be exposed to SCP-3605 instances without the approval of the Site Director. The exact significance of C/1911 O1 to Fifthist ideology is currently being evaluated. Description: SCP-3605 designates a collection of fifty-five vintage photographs of C/1911 O1 (Brooks), a comet that passed by Earth in the second half of 1911 and was brightly visible to the naked eye. SCP-3605/05 appears to be the original copy that the other facsimiles were based on, despite being labeled "Comet #5" on the reverse side. Research has revealed that the photograph was likely taken somewhere in the midwestern United States. When any physical photograph depicting a visible celestial dome is brought within a 1.5 meter1 radius of any SCP-3605 instance, the latter's anomalous properties begin to manifest. The sky portion of a 3605-affected photograph will have its contents replaced by the image of C/1911 O1 during the first iteration (see above image), and persons depicted in the photograph will turn their heads toward it in the second iteration. Following this initial transformation, the affected photograph's content will change every five hours, and various anomalous activities are depicted, usually centering around the comet and the nearby stars (see Observational Data). SCP-3605 affected photographs will continue to change at an unpredictable rate until reaching their end form (with final transformations occurring as early as Iteration 005 and as late as Iteration 050). In all iterations after the first, the placement of C/1911 O1 within the photograph will remain unchanged. SCP-3605 instances only affect photographs capturing events in the real world; illustrations of any kind are not affected. SCP-3605 instances were recovered in 2016 following an investigation into Fifthist members operating out of a vacant building that had been formerly used as a Polaroid development shop. Three persons were found deceased inside; post-mortem analysis indicated subjects had expired approximately three to four days before Foundation discovery. Additionally, subjects' eyes [REDACTED]2 A journal belonging to POI-3605-013 was recovered during the raid, excerpts of which have been reproduced below. Grammar and spelling have been corrected as needed. January 3 Hey, paper, it's me, [POI-3605-01]. We're finally at that place the comet and the stars told me to go to. Don't know if I was expecting anything more impressive, but all that's left here are a few signs and one or two broken cameras. The materials are sparse, but the energy…yeah, I can feel it. We hit paydirt. [POI-3605-02] is skeptical, thinks we shouldn't be wasting our time here. But I'm convinced that we can use this place to connect to that comet…C/1911 O1, if I remember the technical name right. When I was smoking it4 outside our church last month, when the vision hit me, right in that field there were three things: that shop, the little glowing friends, and that big, beautiful white comet. We just brought the photos and the telescope in today. We also took the book with us, but we're not using it exactly how it says we're supposed to. I'm kinda nervous but we might need it and it's a good reminder of why we're here. [POI-3605-2] seemed kinda pissed at me for using the book wrong, like it was the Bible or something. She doesn't get it. The whole reason I want us to do this is to show people what Chapter 2 was talking about, and why it doesn't have to be this way. First we show them pictures, and then they help us make it a reality. [POI-3605-3] is going to keep watch while we sleep. If either of us spot it, we let the other know right away. January 7 The photo changed today! [POI-3605-2] was getting ready to give up, but right when she was walking out the door I saw the comet. It was on that picture of her and her mom at Yosemite National Park. It was bright and warm outside when they took that photo, but the sky was black behind them, and it looked all grainy and old. But I guess that's because the comet photos are… …what was I saying? I'm forgetting stuff. The comet, man. Gotta focus on the comet. Remember what the book says: "Now is our time. Here is our space. We take your comet." We're getting closer. January 10 [POI-3605-2] got a little upset today when she saw what happened to the Yosemite photo. [POI-3605-3] managed to calm her down but I guess I can't blame her. An image can only give you an idea of being with the comet is like, and you really have to experience it for yourself. [REDACTED]5 and I hope it works out for them too, but this is gonna be different. We're not creating anything. We're bringing something back. I know we haven't seen it yet, but this almost feels like we're meeting an old friend. Our hard work will pay off when we can look at it. Look at it riding down the heavens and promising us true unity. We're coming for you, buddy. [undated] Holy shit man I just remembered something. Something I can't believe I didn't tell [POI-3605-2] and [POI-3605-3] first. It was blue. It was fucking blue. I just looked it up on the Wikipedia article. I must've been smoking so much herb I forgot that the past wasn't black and white. I wish I had Doctor Who's telephone box so I could go back in time to where the guy who took the first photo was. Just imagine what it would've been like to see our friend in all its glory, instead of just having these old pictures. Don't worry, Brooks. We're bringing you back. And we're all gonna be in that beautiful blue paradise. January 15 It happened. Today was the day. I woke up and I didn't know if I was really awake or just dreaming. But [POI-3605-2] and [POI-3605-3] were both standing outside, staring up at the sky. I knew this was it. It was up there. Brooks. Big, BLUE, wonderful Brooks. It wasn't moving. It was just…shooting in place. All the wavy things on the side of it were moving, but it wasn't. It was like a gif. And the stars…the stars were like in the photos. The grainy parts looked like someone redid the sky with MS Paint. And we stared. God we just stared for so fucking long. And [REDACTED]6. I think it was the same sort of thing the other guys were looking for. They were talking to us, like we were their friends, but they said we're not ready yet. Then we were back here. Wait how did we get back here? Where is Brooks? January 18 Ok ok calm down. Three days now and everything still looks normal outside. We brought it back for a moment and now it's gone again. All of our photos have made ascendancy. [POI-3605-2] ripped Yosemite apart because she got united in it, but not here. Me neither. Me neither. Can't calm down, can't think of anything else. Where are you after all we did for you why not come back blue[sic] [undated] Please come back. [undated] We are ready [undated] I love you Brooks [undated] The blue is so beautiful [END EXCERPTS - CONSULT SUPPLEMENTARY DOCUMENT 3605/B FOR FULL ACCESS] Observational Data Below is an example of SCP-3605's main effect, recorded during the exposure of instance 3605/034 to a non-anomalous photograph. For full access to Observational Data logs, consult Supplementary Document 3605/A. SCP-3605 Affected Photograph: Black and white contemporary photograph of Sixth Avenue in New York City, 1922. Iteration Description 001 Sky above New York is replaced with a replica of SCP-3605. Based on perspective, C/1911 O1 appears to be extremely close to making impact with the island of Manhattan. 002 All persons present in the photograph immediately turn their attention towards the comet. The latter's position within the atmosphere remains unchanged. 003-006 Stars within the sky gradually move from their original position to the ground level of the photograph without changing in size, appearing as glowing white orbs floating above the street. Effects of photographic decomposition due to aging are reversed and elements of the image become more detailed, with people now having visible identifiable facial expressions. Persons in the photograph (including background figures barely or partially visible in the first iteration that are now in the foreground) all display expressions of happiness or relief while staring at the orbs. 006-009 Star-orbs make their way to individual persons in the photograph and integrate themselves into their bodies, appearing as a glowing white hole in the middle of their abdomens. [REDACTED]7Subjects depicted do not show any signs of discomfort, and instead spread their arms in a welcoming gesture as the orbs enter their bodies. 009-015 Subjects begin to levitate approximately one meter off of the ground while their legs and arms go limp. Levitating people gradually move to the center of the photograph next to the lampost and form a circle from their bodies. After the circle is formed, the star-orbs begin to project from the subjects' abdomens to the center of it until the circle encloses a large, glowing light. 016-020 Subjects "fly" from the center of the photograph to C/1911 O1 while surrounding the light, their visibility reducing in each iteration until they vanish into the center of the comet. Final Iteration: 020 + Addendum 3605.A [SITE DIRECTOR CLEARANCE REQUIRED] - [CLEARANCE ACCEPTED] Following the discovery and classification of SCP-3255, SCP-3605's documentation was partially censored for security reasons as connections between the two anomalous phenomena became apparent. Specifically: Identities of the subjects have been confirmed to be prominent Fifthist members (names were expunged by special order of O5 Command) who were aware of the activities at the Indrid Arto Mental Wellness Center and disagreed with their methods. Several diary entries directly reference them, with one saying "Those guys are trying to reinvent the wheel, when all we have to do is tune it to the energy and we can find what was already there." Upon initial discovery, the cadavers of POI-3605-01, 02, and 03 each had two bright blue orbs located within their eye sockets. The orbs resembled smaller versions of the miniaturized stars discovered within SCP-3255 and could not be moved by any means, even after significant decomposition. The cadavers were classified as SCP-3605-A, SCP-3605-B and SCP-3605-C and were moved to Site-11. Long-term exposure to SCP-3605 instances causes the viewer to begin to conform to Fifthist beliefs and repeatedly profess a love for comets, especially C/1911 O1. Accordingly, containment procedures have been updated to ensure weekly rotation of SCP-3605 containment staff. Class D Amnestics are issued after each rotation which remove specific memories of SCP-3605 instances while still leaving subjects aware they worked with them. In approximately 13% of SCP-3605 affected photographs, persons depicted will have their eyes removed and replaced with blue orbs similar to the ones seen in the aforementioned cadavers. After persons have disappeared into the comet, the orbs will stay behind and remain in the circle the subjects were previously in. Eventually, these will be integrated into the C/1911 O1 background, taking the place of the stars that were removed in previous iterations. Final iteration resembles the first, except without any people present in it. Footnotes 1. Measured as five feet in the United States. 2. Site Director clearance required. See Addendum 3605.A. 3.

SCP-3606	euclid	SCP-3606 Item #: SCP-3606 Special Containment Procedures: An electrified fence has been erected around the property on which SCP-3606 resides. Small holes along the bottom of the fence are regularly spaced to allow for the ingress of animals. A copse of trees has been planted around SCP-3606 itself for privacy. Humans affected by SCP-3606's attractive effect are to be retrieved, returned to their prior location, and monitored until death. One live cow at least 500kg in mass is to be delivered to SCP-3606 at 48-hour intervals and sealed in its garage. If possible, the remains of the previous cow should be removed first. It should be noted that due to the effect of climate fluctuations on SCP-3606's anomalous properties, the amount of biomass delivered in a 48-hour period may be reduced by up to 50% if the outside temperature drops below freezing. Standard supplies for extended residence, as well as writing and art supplies, are to be delivered to SCP-3606-A as necessary; SCP-3606-A may request additional accommodations by contacting SCP-3606's HMCL supervisor. Garbage and other refuse is collected from SCP-3606 twice per week. SCP-3606-A has accepted responsibility for clearing dust and skeletons from SCP-3606 so that personnel may retrieve them. A stairway and tunnel in SCP-3606's backyard have been constructed to enable access to SCP-3606-B. SCP-3606-A has been told that this structure was built to access an unusual mineral deposit on the property, and must not be provided any information about SCP-3606-B. While SCP-3606-B does not require active observation, surveillance footage should be collected and reviewed weekly. Personnel are not to touch SCP-3606-B or remain in SCP-3606 for more than five minutes at a time under any circumstances. Description: SCP-3606 is a two-story house located in rural New Jersey, near █████. Living organisms within the walls of SCP-3606 (with the exception of SCP-3606-A) will rot, decay, or otherwise deteriorate at an accelerated pace, such that damage to such organisms manifests after about seven minutes. Death invariably occurs within twelve hours after decay first presents, regardless of whether the organism is relocated. Addendum A: This effect has been observed to slow when the temperature in SCP-3606's vicinity drops below 0°C. Due to the fluctuations of climate in recent years, these periods are less frequent and fluctuations in temperature should be noted for containment procedures. When the amount of living biomass around SCP-3606 falls below a poorly characterized threshold, its area of effect will extend beyond the boundaries of the house at ~1.3 m/s until a sufficient quantity of such material is within its range, contracting when the total living biomass in the area of effect exceeds the minimum value. Current containment procedures have proven sufficient to prevent SCP-3606's effect from spreading. Within a range of roughly 35 kilometers, animals whose death is imminent may experience a compulsion to travel to and enter SCP-3606 prior to death, generally dying within seven minutes. While this effect is apparent in most observed animal life, it is most pronounced in birds, which will invariably travel to SCP-3606 to die. SCP-3606-A is a human male by the name of August Mayes, a resident of SCP-3606 for his entire life. He is notable primarily for his apparent immunity to SCP-3606's anomalous properties and his lack of observed aging since said anomalous properties first manifested. When SCP-3606-A moves more than three meters from SCP-3606, he will fall into a catatonic stupor that will only reverse upon reintroduction to SCP-3606. As these episodes cause SCP-3606-A extreme pain and distress, he is permitted to reside in SCP-3606. A drawing produced by SCP-3606-A. SCP-3606-A experiences regular dreams featuring an individual he refers to as "████████", whose appearance is consistent with that of SCP-3606-B; he also reports experiencing waking hallucinations consistent with these dreams on occasion. SCP-3606-A is obsessed with SCP-3606-B, spending the majority of his spare time producing artistic works that depict SCP-3606-B in some manner, though he frequently expresses dissatisfaction with his works. SCP-3606-A exhibits a variety of intense emotional responses towards SCP-3606-B, most commonly those of love and reverence, though he often has difficulty expressing these emotions or his thoughts on SCP-3606-B. SCP-3606-B is a humanoid male of indeterminate age located eight meters below SCP-3606's foundation, at the bottom of an apparently natural stone pit. Records from the house's construction make no mention of such a pit, and SCP-3606-A is unaware of SCP-3606-B's presence. SCP-3606-B resides in a stone coffin-shaped depression in the bedrock; imaging indicates the existence of an additional, liquid-filled cavity of indeterminate size beneath this coffin, though this has not been manually confirmed. This liquid also appears to excrete from SCP-3606-B in place of all regular bodily fluids, including saliva, sweat, and [DATA EXPUNGED]. Organisms that make physical contact with SCP-3606-B or its excretions (with the exception of SCP-3606-A) will become desiccated and decay rapidly; death occurs within eight seconds, and the body will turn to dust completely within thirty seconds. Standard protective gear has been shown to be sufficient in counteracting this. While SCP-3606-B is alive, it has shown no need for sustenance, and possesses no higher brain activity. It is fused to the interior of its coffin at several points, with essential organ systems extending at least three meters into the surrounding rock. Extracting SCP-3606-B from its present location is not considered feasible; furthermore, excavation of the area underneath or around SCP-3606-B's coffin carries a significant risk of injuring or killing SCP-3606-B. Samples of SCP-3606-B's excretions and tissue have not returned any anomalous results concerning their exact composition, although the liquid was noted to be "most similar to a slurry of decomposed flesh." History: SCP-3606 was built in 1928, and displayed no apparent anomalous properties until June 18, 1951. On that day, SCP-3606-A's mother and younger sister, both residents of the house, were hospitalized for atypical necrotizing fasciitis;1 this ultimately proved lethal in both cases. Additionally, several minor earthquakes were detected near SCP-3606. SCP-3606-A was 23 years old at the time. SCP-3606's development of its primary anomalous properties coincided with those of SCP-3606-A, as well as the beginning of SCP-3606-A's dreams of SCP-3606-B. The Foundation became involved within 36 hours, after reports of massive crop and livestock deaths. Eighteen human casualties were recorded before containment was established. Infrasonic imaging of SCP-3606 and the surrounding property was conducted in 1972, leading to the discovery of the pit under the house; subsequent excavation revealed the existence of SCP-3606-B, which had not been given an SCP designation prior to its discovery. SCP-3606-A expressed surprise when informed of SCP-3606-B's presence and status, claiming to have had no prior knowledge on the matter. This information ultimately proved deleterious to SCP-3606-A's mental stability, and the decision was made to erase it from SCP-3606-A's memory. - INCIDENT REPORT: 3606-AB - LV 3 SECURITY CLEARANCE REQUIRED Addendum: The following audio interview was recorded on September 13, 1998, and is considered representative of the content of most interviews with SCP-3606-A. Dr. Cabrini and SCP-3606-A conversed on the front porch of SCP-3606. Dr. Cabrini: Good afternoon, August. [SCP-3606-A does not respond. Scribbling sounds are heard.] Dr. Cabrini: August, I said good afternoon. SCP-3606-A: Yes. Just a moment. It's almost done. I've… I've almost got him. Would you like to see it when it's done? Dr. Cabrini: Of course. I'll wait for you to finish. May I sit? [SCP-3606-A does not respond but shows no objection to Dr. Cabrini sitting. The scribbling sounds continue for the next 13 minutes of tape before the subject sighs loudly.] Dr. Cabrini: Are you finished, August? SCP-3606-A: Yes. I think. Why don't the eyes come out right? I want everyone to see them… The way that I see them. Dr. Cabrini: I am going to look at your drawing, August. May I take it? SCP-3606-A: Yes. Go ahead. You see? They aren't right. They aren't how they're supposed to be. Dr. Cabrini: And how are they supposed to be? SCP-3606-A: His… His eyes. They're not like this. They're really dark, but also… incredibly bright. Stars. Water. The abyss. They swallow me. They… devour me. Dr. Cabrini: Ah. Very good. What prompted this drawing, August? What was the inspiration today? SCP-3606-A: I dreamed him again. He was… so much closer this time. Close to me. I was… I was at a picnic with some people… a man and a woman, and a little girl. Dr. Cabrini: Would that be your family? SCP-3606-A: My what? They… they don't matter. I'm talking about ████████. Dr. Cabrini: Yes, about him. What happened in your dream, at the picnic? SCP-3606-A: He… He sat beside me. He was looking down the hill, over the river. I said his name… His… It came out wrong, I couldn't hold it in my mouth. I felt so scared, so excited. And he… he smiled. At me! He was smiling at me. Dr. Cabrini: Did the people at the picnic with you see him? Did they talk to him? SCP-3606-A: What people? Dr. Cabrini: You just mentioned people at a picnic with you when ████████ sat with you. SCP-3606-A: He sat with me. I could feel him, he was so close, Doctor. I could feel the heat of his body close to me. The… the cold. But I kept trying to speak, to beg him, pray to him, and nothing would come out right. My voice didn't work. And… [The subject moans loudly, then emits a high-pitched giggle.] Dr. Cabrini: And what happened then, August? In your dream. SCP-3606-A: He held out his hands to me… They were cupped, and full of… something. Liquid. Something thick. And I knew… I knew he wanted me to drink it. Dr. Cabrini: And did you? SCP-3606-A: Yes. I… I dipped my mouth into his hands. I drank what he offered me. I remember clutching his hands, trying to get it all. It didn't seem like it was going to end. Dr. Cabrini: Do you remember a taste? SCP-3606-A: It was… sweet. But that's all I can say… There aren't words to describe… Dr. Cabrini: And what happened then? SCP-3606-A: … I… Dissolved. I was falling apart. I melted. I… And he… With me… We both… [SCP-3606-A's speech becomes incomprehensible.] Dr. Cabrini: August? Are you unable to verbalize what happened in the dream? Could you draw a picture for me? [SCP-3606-A does not answer. No further comment could be elicited from SCP-3606-A for this session. The attached picture in oil pastel was provided after the interview.] Footnotes 1. Tentative diagnosis. The actual cause is likely anomalous.
SCP-3607	euclid	Item #: SCP-3607 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3607 is to be contained on-site. A perimeter fence topped with barbed wire has been established, and all windows of the structure have been boarded up. Warning signs indicating a chemical hazard have been placed on-site. The structure is to be covertly guarded by at least 2 security officers, dressed as civilian private security. Security cameras and Kant counters have been installed at strategic points around and within the structure to monitor its activity. Any activity observed within the structure is to be reported to associated researchers with a clearance level of 4 or higher. Documents or objects produced within the structure should be retrieved by remote-controlled drones. No human subjects are to enter SCP-3607. Direct human interaction with the object is to be kept at a minimum level. Description: SCP-3607 is a two-story house located in █████, █████. The object is unremarkable in appearance, and similar in structure to other residential units in the area. The object was constructed on ██/██/19██ with no known incidents of anomalous phenomena. SCP-3607 is capable of causing the disappearance of human subjects within the structure. The exact nature, cause, and extent of this property has not been determined. The door to the bedroom of Devin ████ is locked, and has resisted all attempts to breach it. The bedroom of Devin ████ exhibits a major spatial anomaly, in which gravity is affected and the space contained within the room is much larger than normally possible. This space exists as a concrete tunnel of unknown depth. Any object that crosses the threshold into this space is pulled into the tunnel, or "falls in" as a result of the anomaly. Aside from this, several other anomalies are known to occur within the structure. Electrical appliances activating or deactivating for no apparent reason, at random intervals1. Sudden decreases in temperature, by up to 8° Celsius, at random intervals. The duration of this phenomenon varies. Fluctuating hume levels ranging from [REDACTED] at random intervals, causing the state of reality within the structure to briefly destabilize. Evidence suggests that an entity, referred to as SCP-3607-A, exists within the structure. However, all attempts to locate it or identify its nature have been unsuccessful. Researchers believe that the anomalous phenomena occurring within SCP-3607 are attributed to this entity. However, this has not been confirmed. The Foundation was alerted to the object's anomalous properties when all 4 residents of the structure disappeared without an explanation on ██/██/2002. To date, all attempts to locate said subjects have met with failure. Exploration Log 3607-1 Subject: D-10221 Procedure: Subject was instructed to remain within SCP-3607 for 24 hours. Subject was issued audio and video recording equipment and a GPS tracker, and was instructed to equip said objects at all times. Adequate food and water were also provided. Results: Subject vanished at approximately 21:30 hours. The GPS tracker on the subject indicated that he was still in the compound. Communication with the subject remained stable, and the transcript can is recorded in Audio Log 3607-1. + Audio Log 3607-1 - Hide Audio Log 3607-1 Interviewed: D-10221 Interviewer: Researcher ████ Foreword: D-10221 alerted researchers that he had been transported into a chamber by unknown means. <Begin Log> Researcher ████: D-10221, explain your situation. D-10221: (Subject is heard coughing, and is generally unresponsive to Researcher ████'s instructions at this point) Please help me, I'm begging you. Researcher ████: D-10221, calm down. D-10221: Alright- alright. I'm trying. Researcher ████: We will do everything we can, but you have to cooperate with me and explain your situation. D-10221: Alright, alright, I went to the bathroom to take a piss, but when I flushed the toilet, everything went dark. There was the sound of water. It was all around me, and it got louder, and louder, until I found myself in here. I thought- I thought- (Video footage confirms that the subject had utilized the bathroom on the second story before disappearing.) Researcher ████: D-10221? Where are you? Are you still in- D-10221, can you hear me? D-10221: (Subject is heard coughing) It's difficult to talk. It smells really bad in here. Researcher ████: In where? D-10221: God damn it! I'm trying! Everything went dark. Thought the power tripped, but I realized I was falling, and then I ended up in here. Researcher ████: Describe your location and surroundings. D-10221: I'm in water. Trying to stay afloat. Can't feel the floor. Don't know how deep it is. I'll start sinking if I don't keep kicking. It smells really bad and it's all dark. I think I somehow fell in the sewer. I can't get the flashlight to work. Please get me out of here. I keep hitting my head against the ceiling… uh, walls on all sides, so I'm trapped in here. Researcher ████: How did you get in your current location? D-10221: How the fuck should I know? There's no opening in the ceiling. I don't even know how that's possible. Researcher ████: Noted. You have to calm down. We're trying to help you. D-10221: Alright, alright, I'm sorry. I'm just seriously stressed. I don't know how I got in here. I mean, it's not like I could fall into the toilet, right? Researcher ████: You mentioned that there's no opening in the ceiling. Is it possible there is an opening beneath the surface of the water? Maybe you went under and floated up. D-10221: No, I'm sure I fell straight down. Listen, if you're asking me to go underwater, that's not going to happen. It smells really bad. Is the camera working? Maybe you can tell me where I am. Researcher ████: The video feed is functional, but we can't see anything. Use the flashlight issued to you. D-10221: It won't turn on. I think it hit the wall. Researcher ████: Try adjusting it. D-10221: Okay. I'll give it a good whack. See if that does anything. Are you sending help now? Researcher ████: We will do everything we can, but you have to stay calm. Keep trying to fix the light, so we can better understand your situation. D-10221: Alright, I'll try. I feel like I'm going to vomit. This is really horrible. I keep feeling things crawling up on me. I throw them off every now and then. (D-10221 successfully restores the function of the flashlight provided.) D-10221: Got it! Oh, thank God! Researcher ████: Please get your surroundings on video. D-10221: Hang on. (mumbling) I'm not coughing as much as I was earlier. I think I'm getting tolerant of the smell… oh, fuck. (The video feed is wobbly, as the subject appears to be actively struggling to stay afloat. The subject appears to be within a small flooded chamber of undetermined dimensions, surrounded by brick walls. Organisms appearing to be leeches of indeterminate species are observed on the walls. The depth of the water is unknown, as it is very murky.) D-10221: Fucking leeches everywhere… Alright, is that enough? There's nothing much here. Can you get me out now? Please? The camera's going to run out of battery soon. Researcher ████: That's unlikely, the battery should last for another 12 hours, at least. D-10221: No! Look at the god damn display! I'm running low on battery. (Researcher ████ verifies the subject's statement.) Researcher ████: Alright, we will arrange for help to be sent. In the meantime, please deactivate your equipment to conserve energy. D-10221: Fuck it, you can't be serious. Researcher ████: You must conserve the battery if we are to find you. It is important that communications are maintained while we locate you. Please stay calm. We will contact you as soon as possible. D-10221: Okay, okay, fine. I'll do it, but please hurry. <End Log> Exploration Log 3607-2 Subject: D-15384 Procedure: Subject was instructed to lower an endoscope into the toilet in the bathroom of the second story of SCP-3607. Results: D-10221 was not located. No structure corresponding to that observed in Video Log 3607-1 was located. Video feed from the endoscope revealed only structures expected of a non-anomalous sewage pipe. Approximately 100 m of piping was mapped before the test was concluded. Following Test 3607-2, communication with D-10221 was reestablished and is recorded in Audio Log 3607-2. + Audio Log 3607-2 - Hide Audio Log 3607-2 Interviewed: D-10221 Interviewer: Researcher ████ Foreword: The light from the flashlight issued to the subject has dimmed significantly at this point. It is not understood why the battery has depleted at the observed rate. <Begin Log> D-10221: Please get me out. There's something down here. Researcher ████: D-10221, we are- D-10221: When are you going to get me out? There are fucking leeches everywhere, and I'm getting tired. If I don't paddle to stay afloat, I start sinking. Leaning against the wall helps a little, but then the fucking leeches get on me. Researcher ████: We're working on it. The team hasn't found your position yet. Is there anything else you can tell me that could be of help? D-10221: No. You have to get me out. I'm getting tired, and there's someone down here. A body. Someone died down here. Researcher ████: Please explain. We don't see anything on the- D-10221: It sank down into the water before you contacted me. The light went out earlier and it floated up and bumped into me. When the light came on I saw it and lost my shit. I pushed it away the first couple of times but it kept floating against me. I had to throw it off a few times. It felt like it was trying to cling onto me. It floated on top of me and fucking pushed me under once. Every time I fucking threw it off, it just floated back against me, and now its gone. Researcher ████: Can you elaborate on what you saw? D-10221: I told you- God damn it! (Subject thrashes in the water.) Researcher ████: What happened? D-10221: I felt it. It just grabbed on to my leg. Researcher ████: What did? D-10221: Listen, I can't take much more of this. I've tried to stay calm, but I can't take it. It was the fucking corpse, okay? I swear it grabbed on to my leg just now. Researcher ████: Can you elaborate a bit more on this corpse you saw? D-10221: It was a dead body with leeches all over it. Some poor bastard died down here, and I'm going to be next if you don't help me. Please just get me the hell out of here. God, please just get me the hell out of here. It's so cold… Researcher ████: We're doing everything we can. For now, are you able to swim under the water to determine the depth? There could be an exit- D-10221: Fucking no. I told you, it smells like shit water. I'm not going in again. Just tunnel down here and pull me out. You have the GPS, right? So what's the big issue? Researcher ████: We need all the information we can get about your location. If you can determine if there is an exit- D-10221? D-10221, can you hear me? D-10221: What? I can't [inaudible] gonna die here [inaudible] let go of- Researcher ████: D-10221, what's happening? D-10221: [inaudible] <End Log> Closing Statement: Video feed was terminated abruptly as the battery was depleted. The nature of the 'body' described by the subject is unknown, and its existence currently cannot be confirmed. Incident 3607-1a: Shortly after the events of Exploration Log 3607-2, D-15384 vanished after all doors and windows of the structure simultaneously slammed shut. Kant counters indicated that hume levels fluctuated [REDACTED] at this point. Communication with the subject remained stable, and the transcript can be found in Audio Log 3607-3. + Audio Log 3607-3 - Hide Audio Log 3607-3 Interviewed: D-15384 Interviewer: Researcher ████ Foreword: D-15384 was granted permission to leave SCP-3607. The bathroom door is heard slamming shut before the subject could exit. <Begin Log> D-15384: What the hell? (laughs) The door slammed shut. Nearly scared the crap out of me. Must have been the wind or something. (The subject is heard attempting to open the door with significant effort.) D-15384: What the hell? Hey, doctor, this thing's stuck. Researcher ████: There's no reason it should be locked. Try putting some force into it. D-15384: I'll just ram it down. (Subject is heard kicking the door. The door is heard swinging open, and the sound of a wet substance being impacted is heard.) D-15384: Oh, fuck it! Fuck, fuck, fuck! Researcher ████: What happened? D-15384: Fuck it! Just fucking look! (The subject directs the camera out the door. The doorway does not lead to the rest of SCP-3607, but instead appears to lead into a long, pulsating, fleshy cavity, with numerous ducts protruding from the walls. Additionally, several metal pipes are visible intersecting with the cavity, leaking a dark fluid. The diameter of the cavity appears to be capable of allowing a human subject to walk through. The depth is unknown, as it bends frequently. Shadows are seen moving, originating from behind the bend. The context is unknown.) Researcher ████: What the- D-15384: Oh, my god, doctor, what the hell am I looking at? How the fuck did I get in here? Researcher ████: We aren't sure. D-15384: Doctor, I'm seriously, seriously freaking out. What am I looking at? Where am I? What happened to the house? Researcher ████: Slow down. We aren't sure. Can you attempt to navigate through the anomaly? D-15384: Anomaly? That's one fucking nice way to put it. You want me to go through there? Looks like the inside of someone's g- Oh, my- oh, my god. Doctor, are you hearing that? Researcher ████: What? D-15384: Fucking listen. Oh, god, that sounds disgusting- (The subject directs the audio recording device toward the anomaly. Faint, gargled, warped voices are heard, seeming to originate from the ducts of the cavity.) Voice: How the fuck should I know? There's no opening in the ceiling. I don't even know how that's possible. Voice: Please get me out. There's something down here. Voice: It smells really bad. Researcher ████: What? That's- (Researcher ████ recognizes the voices are identical to that of D-10221, repeating dialogue from previous audio logs.) Researcher ████: Alright, that's really weird. One moment. I'll discuss our next course of action. D-15384: No fucking kidding. Try to be quick about it. God, this thing is breathing. It's seriously sickening. (It was decided that a remote-controlled drone be utilized to determine the location of D-15384. Investigation of the bathroom reveals that the subject is absent.) Researcher ████: D-15384, are you there? D-15384: What kind of question is that? Researcher ████: We were unable to determine your location within the structure. D-15384: Are you- what? Are you fucking kidding me? What's that supposed to mean? Researcher ████: Can you try exiting through the window? D-15384: No. It's barred. And when I looked out, it's the same thing. (The subject directs the camera to the window of the bathroom. The exterior appears to be large strands of pulsating neural tissue. Several structures appearing to be teeth are also visible, interwoven among the strands.) D-15384: Are you going to tell me what the fuck is going on? Researcher ████: You're going to have to navigate through the anomaly. When you find the exit, we'll be able to retrieve you. D-15384: Fuck! Can't you bust the walls down or something? Researcher ████: D-15384, there is no other way. Please proceed as instructed. (The subject is unresponsive for a minute and 31 seconds.) D-15384: Alright, I'll fucking do it. Fuck! You'd better be ready to get me after I'm through. Researcher ████: We'll track your location with the GPS. In the meantime, please collect a sample of the tissue, the flesh. (Subject proceeds toward the edge of the doorway. Subject is heard mumbling while collecting a piece of tissue, and storing it in an issued specimen jar.) Voice: When are you going to get me out? There are fucking leeches everywhere, and I'm getting tired. If I don't paddle to stay afloat, I start sinking. Leaning against the wall helps a little, but then the fucking leeches get on to me. D-15384: Shut the fuck up! Oh, god, where the hell are these voices coming from? Researcher ████: D-15384, please calm down. D-15384: (mumbling) Fucking easy for you to say. Okay, I got a piece of the flesh. I'm going ahead. God, it's really soft and unstable. It's like- (Subject is heard screaming) D-15384: No, no! No! Fuck! Researcher ████: What happened? D-15384: I'm stuck! My foot got stuck the second I stepped onto this- this- flesh shit! Ow, it's burning through my shoe. What do I do? Researcher ████: Try taking your shoe off. D-15384: Fuck! I'm trying! Ow! Shit, what's happening? (The ducts in the cavity begin secreting fluids and organisms resembling leeches. The fluid begins to flood the base of the cavity. A soft hissing is audible. Metal pipes that come into contact with the fluid are observed to degrade.) D-15384: Damn it! Smells like puke and burning rubber. Ow! It burns! Voice: (laughs) Are you fucking with me? All I have to do is spend a day in some fucking abandoned house? Voice: No! Look at the god damn display! I'm running low on battery. Voice: Let go of me! Let go, you shit bastard! Help [gurgling] D-15384: Shut up! Come on, come on! Researcher ████: Lock yourself in the bathroom. Try to find another way out. (Subject manages to free himself. The shoe is observed to be pulled into the folds of the cavity and is dissolved. The subject proceeds to close the bathroom door, and is observed to be extremely distressed.) D-15384: My foot is burning. The skin is raw. Oh, my god. What the fuck is happening? Who was that talking? What- Oh, no! Fuck! (The faucets of the sink and bathtub begin secreting digestive fluids, identical to that seen within the anomalous cavity. A number of leeches are also observed exiting the faucets.) D-15384: You've got to be shitting me! Researcher ████: Turn off the taps. (Subject does as instructed.) D-15384: Fucking can't! They turn back on after I try. The drain's clogged with something. Ow! It's splashing everywhere! Researcher ████: Climb up onto the toilet seat, see if you can find another way out. We're doing what we can to find your location. D-15384: Hurry! It's filling up quick! God damn it! What the hell is going on? Ow, ow! It's coming out of the toilet as well! (Subject attempts to scoop up some of the digestive fluid with a cup, to throw into the toilet. Subject ceases after the second attempt. Puddles of digestive fluid are observed to form around the bathroom.) D-15384: Shit! Got it on my hand. Fucking- Researcher ████: D-15384, do you see a ventilation shaft above the toilet? Maybe you can squeeze through it. D-15384: Yeah, but there's a fan in the way. Screw it, I'm busting it open. (Subject retrieves a wrench from the set of supplied tools.) (The bathroom door is heard opening. The subject turns to see a large volume of digestive fluids and leeches pouring through.) Voice: There's someone down here. A body. Someone died down here. D-15384: Fuck! (Subject succeeds in removing the fan, and proceeds to scream, as an unidentified object falls onto him. The camera falls into the fluid, and the image is obscured.) Researcher ████: What happened? D-15384: There's a dead body! God, damn it! It fell on me! Help! (screaming) I'm burning! [inaudible] Researcher ████: Get out of there. Get the camera and get out of there. (Subject is heard crying and screaming, but successfully retrieves the camera. The video quality is damaged as a result of the digestive fluid.) D-15384: Doctor, I got burned really badly when I fell in. On the toilet now. The room's filling up. (crying) Please help me. The window, it's- Researcher ████: Get into the ventilation shaft. Explain what happened. D-15384: Okay, okay, I'll try. Fucking hell. It's filling up. (crying) Those things from outside the window. They're- (The subject is heard screaming) Researcher ████: D-15384? (The sound of a toilet flushing is heard, and the camera appears to fall at a rapid pace. Rushing water is visible, removing the digestive fluid from the lens.) Researcher ████: What's going on? (The interior of a sewage pipe is visible. The water rapidly turns red with blood, 3 leeches appear on screen, and the lens breaks before the video feed is terminated.) <End Log> Closing Statement: Approximately 12 hours later, the tissue sample obtained by the subject appeared within the bathroom. DNA sequencing revealed it to be identical to tissue from D-10221. No cadaver was found in the ventilation shaft of the bathroom. Addendum 3607-2a: On ██/██/2002, activity was detected from the printer in the study of SCP-3607. It was observed to produce a single document. A remote-controlled drone was utilized to recover the document, listed in the following text: Don't come back. Trapped myself in here. If I can't get out he can't get out. If he can't get out he can't hurt anyone. He made my family disappear. He made me do it. He made the prisoners disappear. He made me do it. He is me. Don't come in. Makes him stronger. He makes bad things happen. I make bad things happen. It's not my fault. Can't control him. I don't know what's happening with me. I'm sorry. Rather than being printed in standard font, the text matches the handwriting of Devin ████, the youngest former resident of SCP-3607, aged 8 years. All subsequent attempts to communicate with the entity responsible for the message, designated SCP-3607-A, has been met with failure. Footnotes 1. This can be observed even if no electricity is supplied to the structure. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3607" by xFox, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3608	safe	 close Info X SCP-3608: "PTSD: Post-Traumatic Stress Dimension" by: Doctor Fullham ♫ Doctor Fullham's Author Page ♫ 88.41% (+122) 11.59% (-16) -% (+0) -% (-0) Special Containment Procedures: Site-3608 has been constructed around the entrance to SCP-3608 due to the failure of all attempts to relocate it. The entrance to SCP-3608 must remain under 24/7 video surveillance in Secure Wing Alpha. Personnel are not to come within 15 meters of SCP-3608 without approval from Site Director Haugen. Description: The portal leading to SCP-3608 is a single blue door and frame, composed of wooden materials and lacking attachment to any extant structure. It is located approximately 11.3km north-northeast of Nürensdorf, Zürich, Switzerland. The paint shows signs of aging, but the door itself is structurally sound, with no signs of degradation. Paint chips analyzed are chemically identical to Valspar brand paint. No anomalous properties have been detected in the door itself. The threshold presents no anomalous visual effects. However, upon passing over the threshold, any sapient beings disappear.1 SCP-3608 is a sapient, predatory dimension, accessed by passing through the door from either side. Foundation researchers have determined that SCP-3608 is able to siphon energy from the negative emotions of any sapient beings that enter it. It is able to obtain specific information about the being's history2 as well as general details related to an environment which feels familiar to it3. The method by which SCP-3608 obtains this information is currently unknown. SCP-3608 does not appear to have any effect on inanimate objects that are not attached to or held by sapient creatures. Independent inanimate objects that pass over the threshold appear on the other side with no noticeable changes. Drones and other unmanned remote equipment cease to function inside SCP-3608, rendering unmanned expeditions impossible. Discovery: SCP-3608 was discovered by the Foundation after a series of missing persons reports near Nürensdorf. Local authorities discovered SCP-3608, and a Foundation agent within the police force brought the item to The Foundation's attention after an officer by the name of Liam Wuthrich entered SCP-3608 and vanished from sight. He returned hours later in a state of severe emotional distress. Officer Wuthrich was escorted to European Site-11 for questioning and full psychological evaluation [See Log 3608-P]. Class-A amnestics were administered and the officer was returned to his home. + 3608-P: Police Officer Interview Log - 3608-P: Police Officer Interview Log Interviewed: Officer Liam Wuthrich of the Nürensdorf Police Department. Interviewer: Dr. Sanderson, on-site psychologist for E-Site-11. Foreword: Officer Wuthrich was the first person verified to have entered and exited SCP-3608. His testimony is invaluable in ascertaining the state of SCP-3608 before the Foundation began official testing. This interview took place three days after Officer Wuthrich encountered SCP-3608. Begin Log: 22/4/2012 14:00 Dr. Sanderson: Hello, Officer. How are you today? Officer Wuthrich: I'm okay, I suppose. Still a little confused. Where am I, again? Dr. Sanderson: That information is classified. You'll be perfectly safe here, no need to worry. Officer Wuthrich: Right. I suppose this is about the door, isn't it? Dr. Sanderson: Yes, we'd like some details about your experience that day. Officer Wuthrich: Well, we were in the area after a few strange missing persons reports. One of them was a homeless guy, so nobody really took him seriously, but he kept talking about a door and the "empty place" that it lead to. The higher-ups got wind of it and wanted us to investigate. Dr. Sanderson: How many people were reported missing in total, and how many came back? Officer Wuthrich: I think it was….six people. Yeah, that's right. As far as I know, most of them came back within a day or two, but it was long enough that people were worried. One of them was gone for nearly a week, though. Dr. Sanderson: Were there any noticeable differences between the people that came back within a few days and the one that was gone for longer? Officer Wuthrich: Well, nothing physically if that's what you mean, but he had a record with us already. Minor stuff, mostly - some vandalism and one count of aggravated assault. The really weird part was that he said he had only been gone for a few hours, but nobody had seen him for at least a few days. Dr. Sanderson: Interesting. Now, Officer, could you please tell me, in as much detail as possible, the circumstances leading up to you entering the door? Officer Wuthrich: Well, Officers Ammann, Scheidegger and myself were investigating the door. We agreed that it was weird that it was just sitting there. There weren't even traces of a foundation or building that it would have been connected to in the first place. Officer Ammann, joking of course, dared me to go through it. Dr. Sanderson: And you did. Officer Wuthrich: I mean, yeah. Not the smartest thing I've done, looking back, but how could I have known? I went through the door, and…. Officer Wuthrich pauses for a few seconds. Dr. Sanderson: And? Officer Wuthrich: Well, have you ever been in an elevator when it stops too fast? It felt like that, like I just got jerked around a bit. I looked around to show the guys that I was fine, and they were gone. Or, I guess I was gone. The door took me somewhere else, I still don't know where the hell it was. Do you guys know? Dr. Sanderson: Any information we have obtained is highly classified. Officer Wuthrich: Yeah, I had guessed that much. You guys run a hell of a tight ship here. Dr. Sanderson: The fields we specialize in require very strict security protocols. Now, can you describe to me what the environment inside was like? Please, be as detailed as possible. Officer Wuthrich: It was just a big field, empty all the way to the horizon except for a single building sitting there. Well, I think it was a building. Could have just been a big square rock, or monument, or something. And there was no grass on the ground; it felt like astro turf, and it was all grey. Dr. Sanderson: Can you describe the object for me? Officer Wuthrich: It was about the size of a small shed. I'd say probably three and a half meters wide, five meters deep and three meters tall. No doors or markings on it, and it was all completely grey. It wasn't made of anything I could identify, either. The sides were completely smooth, like silk. My hands just slid right off. I shouldn't have touched the damn thing. Dr. Sanderson: Why's that? Officer Wuthrich: As soon as I did, I started having, well….hallucinations. Started seeing some things from my past that I didn't ever want to see again. Dr. Sanderson: Would you mind sharing? Officer Wuthrich shudders and takes a deep breath. Officer Wuthrich: Just….bad stuff, mostly. My parents getting divorced, dropping out of college, and, the, uh….first time I lost a partner on the force. Dr. Sanderson: Did you encounter any beings while you were there? Officer Wuthrich: No other beings, that's for sure. I was totally alone, except… Dr. Sanderson: Except what? Officer Wuthrich: Well, this is going to sound stupid, but I felt like I was being watched. And not just watched, but….judged. Like something was studying me. Dr. Sanderson: But you didn't see any other beings while you were inside? Officer Wuthrich: Not a sign of life anywhere. Just a big empty field and that weird…thing. Dr. Sanderson: Noted. How long would you say you were inside? Officer Wuthrich: Well, it only felt like an hour or so. I was trying to figure out how to get out, but there wasn't a door anymore. I tried to radio the guys, but I got nothing but static. Dr. Sanderson: You say it felt like an hour? Officer Wuthrich: Yeah, but apparently it was closer to seven hours. The guys had put a team together to investigate the door. They even got someone from the local university out to have a look. Physics student, smart kid, but he had no idea what the hell was going on. They were baffled when I finally came back out. Dr. Sanderson: How did you get out? Officer Wuthrich: Well, I don't know why, but after a while the door just reappeared. I had taken what was probably my twentieth lap around the building, trying to figure out where I was and how to get back. I rounded the corner and the door was just…there. So I did what anyone would have done. Dr. Sanderson: You went back through the door. Officer Wuthrich: I couldn't think of anything else to do. The door had got me there, if it was anything like any other door, it would take me back, right? Dr. Sanderson: Right. Were you concerned about it taking you somewhere else? Officer Wuthrich: Of course I was. But, like I said, it was all I could think to do. Luckily, it took me back home, and then someone called you guys, and now I'm here. Dr. Sanderson: You're certain you didn't experience anything else out of the ordinary? Officer Wuthrich: Nope, just the random inter-dimensional portal in the middle of a field. Dr. Sanderson: Your colleagues have informed us that you were in a state of emotional distress when you returned. Is this true? Officer Wuthrich: Yeah, the hallucination or vision or whatever really hit me hard. Losing a partner… it's not something you get over easily, and it doesn't take much to reopen that kind of wound. So I was still pretty upset when I got out. Dr. Sanderson: That's completely understandable, Officer. Do you have anything else that you would like to tell me before we conclude the interview? Officer Wuthrich: Be careful with that thing. Nothing really bad happened to me, but I've just got a feeling that it's dangerous. Dr. Sanderson: Thank you for your concern, Officer. I can assure you that we will proceed with the utmost caution. End Log: 22/04/2012 14:07 Closing Statement: Officer Wuthrich. and all other non-Foundation personnel involved were administered Class-A amnestics and returned to their homes. The missing persons were interviewed individually, but no useful information was gained. - 3608-P: Police Officer Interview Log As of 06/06/2014, four manned expeditions into SCP-3608 have been attempted, all overseen by Dr. Vogel and MTF Alpha-5 "Paranaughts" Captain James Lauder. Transcripts of expeditions can be seen below. Unless otherwise noted, all subjects are equipped with one wireless transmission video camera communicating with a laptop held by Dr. Vogel and one hands-free 2-way radio. Subject is also equipped with a standard issue field bag containing two day’s worth of emergency rations and several Field Recovery Kits (FRKs). + Expedition 3608-E1: 26/04/2012 - Expedition 3608-E1 Subject: D-411356. 29 years old male of white European heritage, convicted of two counts of murder in the second degree. TRANSCRIPT 14:41:00 - Begin Log 14:41:15 - Subject is instructed to enter SCP-3608. Subject complies. 14:41:30 - Subject has entered SCP-3608. Subject does not appear on other side of the door. No trace of subject remains on any visible or infrared spectrum. 14:41:49 - Subject activates video feed. Transmission from subject’s camera is blurry and occasionally cuts to static. Landscape is observed as flat plains with what appear to be mountains in the distance. Subject walks a straight line from the door. Several groups of objects similar to the building described in 3608-P can be seen nearby. Dr. Vogel instructs subject to go to the nearest group of objects, designated 3608-1. Subject complies. 14:51:13 - Subject is approaching 3608-1. Subject reports a lack of movement or any signs of life in the area, inquires if he should continue. 14:51:25 - Subject is instructed to enter 3608-1 and collect any relevant information about the location. Subject is also instructed to defer to Dr. Vogel concerning any communication if contact is made. 15:09:13 - Subject has entered 3608-1. No signs of life are observed. Rudimentary objects in shapes similar to automobiles are seen on the sides of the streets. 3608-1 appears to be similar in size and layout to a small town, but all buildings are of uniform size and grey in color. No doors or windows are visible on the buildings, and the outside surfaces are abnormally smooth, according to the subject. Dr. Vogel instructs subject to continue exploring 3608-1. 15:21:10 - Subject appears to have thoroughly explored 3608-1. No signs of life have been found, nor any means of ingress to any building. Subject requests that the expedition be terminated, stating that the complete absence of any other life is making him uneasy. 15:22:01 - Termination of expedition denied. Subject is directed to find the next nearest settlement and enter. following the same protocols as with 3608-1. 15:23:12 - 15:26:41 - Subject argues with Dr. Vogel, stating that he feels as though something is watching him. Subject is very insistent upon terminating the expedition. Dr. Vogel states that if subject does not continue, video and radio communication will be severed and the door to SCP-3608 will be closed, with a high probability of leaving the subject stranded. 15:23:45 - Subject exchanges some choice words with Dr. Vogel, but agrees to continue to the next closest settlement. 15:31:19 - 15:42:19 - Subject seems to be unable to locate any boundaries of 3608-1. Even walking in a straight line for several minutes does not seem to bring the subject any closer to finding egress. Quality of video feed begins to rapidly deteriorate, until images are visible for only a few seconds in between nearly a full minute of static. Audio quality from transceiver also deteriorates, with a voice completely dissimilar to the subject's occasionally cutting in. 15:43:41 - Subject reports that his feeling of unease is escalating. Transmission quality has degraded to the point that video feed is essentially useless and audio is barely decipherable. Dr. Vogel informs subject that there is a high probability that he may be trapped. Subject does not respond with panic, as would be expected, but rather with resignation and despair. Subject requests that radio and video communications be severed so that he may, in his own words, "Suffer my fate alone". Dr. Vogel agrees and severs transmission feeds. EXPEDITION TERMINATED Note: Buildings appear consistent with the structure described by Officer Wuthrich. in Interview Log 3608-P. - Expedition 3608-E1 + Expedition 3608-E2: 05/07/2012 - Expedition 3608-E2 Subject: D-991257. 26 years old female of Chinese descent. History of severe emotional, physical and sexual abuse as a child. Convicted of three counts of kidnapping, torture and murder of middle-aged Caucasian men. TRANSCRIPT 18:22:00 - Begin Log 18:22:10 - Subject is instructed to enter SCP-3608. Subject complies. 18:22:21 - Subject has entered SCP-3608. Matching the events of 3608-E1, subject does not appear on other side of the door. No trace of subject remains on any visible or infrared spectrum. 18:22:30 - Subject activates video feed. Feed shows a landscape drastically different than the one in 3608-E1. Subject appears to be standing in the middle of a large metropolitan city center, designated 3608-2. However, like in the previous expedition, the city appears to be totally devoid of any signs of life or activity. Automobiles of the same style can be seen on the streets. Buildings are of the same size, color and style as those encountered in 3608-E1; the only noticeable difference being that the buildings have visible doors. 18:23:06 - Dr. Vogel instructs subject to approach the closest building and attempt ingress. 18:24:19 - Subject approaches the nearest building and attempts to open the door. It appears to be locked, so subject knocks on the door and waits for a response. 18:24:31 - Subject knocks again, more forcefully this time. 18:24:44 - Dr. Vogel instructs subject to approach a different building and attempt ingress. Subject approaches the next nearest building, but stops before she reaches the door. Dr. Vogel inquires as to what is wrong. 18:24:51 - Subject responds with confusion, inquiring whether or not a black figure was seen exiting the door of the building in question. 18:25:01 - Dr. Vogel informs the subject that the figure in question did not appear on the feed, nor did the door move, and suggests the possibility that the subject imagined it. 18:25:17 - Subject responds with anger, restating that the figure was present and real, and that the door had been opened and closed. 18:25:30 - Dr. Vogel calms subject and instructs her to follow the figure and inform them if it appears again. 18:25:42 - Subject begins to follow a relatively straight path, only occasionally turning down side streets and alleyways. Subject alerts Dr. Vogel whenever the figure appears again. The figure never appears on the camera feed. The figure does not appear hostile; rather, it seems to be leading the subject somewhere. 18:36:32 - Subject has followed the figure for roughly ten minutes, and has been led to a lone building at the end of a long stretch of road. Building is designated 3608-2B. Dr. Vogel instructs subject to enter. 18:36:40 - Upon approaching 3608-2B, subject notices that the door is slightly ajar. Subject enters 3608-2B. 18:37:00 - Upon subject crossing the threshold, video feed cuts to black. A loud scream is heard from the audio feed and subject stumbles back over the threshold. 18:37:10 - Dr. Vogel inquires what happened when the video feed was cut. Subject responds with incomprehensible babble. Dr. Vogel asks again, but subject seems to have undergone severe mental trauma. Captain Lauder recommends that expedition be terminated, insisting that the subject will not be able to continue in her current state. 18:42:29 - After arguing for several minutes, Captain Lauder and Dr. Vogel agree to terminate the expedition. 18:45:22 - Subject exits SCP-3608 far sooner than would be expected accounting for how far she traveled from the original entry point. 3608-2A1 is recovered, and subject is brought to E-Site-11 for a full psychological evaluation and treatment. See Log 3608-2I for post-expedition interview. EXPEDITION TERMINATED - Expedition 3608-E2 + Expedition 3608-E3: 15/02/2013 - Expedition 3608-E3 Subject: D-11508. 31 years old male of Scandinavian descent. Convicted of over twenty different felonies, including grand theft auto, first degree murder, aggravated assault, robbery, rape, and arson. NOTE: Subject is also equipped with one advanced GPS tracking device. TRANSCRIPT 08:44:00 - Begin Log 08:44:08 - Subject is instructed to enter SCP-3608. Subject complies. 08:44:17 - Subject has entered SCP-3608. Like in previous expeditions, subject does not appear on other side of the door. No trace of subject remains on any visible or infrared spectrum. GPS device immediately begins to malfunction; tracking displays "OUT OF RANGE" error. 08:44:24 - Subject activates video feed. Landscape is similar to that in previous expeditions, except that subject appears to have entered on top of a building looking over a metropolitan area. Buildings are observed to have visible doors and windows. Once again, no signs of life are observed in the area. Area is designated 3608-3, building is designated 3608-3A. 08:44:37 - Subject is directed to explore 3608-3A and recover any documents or other information using an FRK. Subject complies and begins walking towards a roof access door. 08:44:51 - Subject opens door and enters 3608-3A. There is a momentary glitch in the camera feed as subject crosses the threshold. Subject begins to descend stairs to the next floor. 08:45:22 - Subject has reached a landing with a door. Subject opens door and enters a hallway lined with doors fitted with pull handles. Doors appear to be very close together, with the gaps between them appearing to be less than 30cm. Subject approaches nearest door and opens it. Camera feed glitches momentarily, then shows a blank white wall behind the door. Subject's breathing becomes heavy and he shuts the door quickly. 08:45:35 - Dr. Vogel inquires if anything is wrong. Subject replies in the negative and insists that he is fine. 08:45:42 - Subject proceeds to the next nearest door and opens it. Camera feed glitches again, momentarily shows another blank wall before subject slams door shut and backs away quickly. Subject's breathing becomes panicked and erratic. 08:46:11 - Dr. Vogel once again inquires if anything is wrong. Subject vehemently denies that anything is wrong, repeatedly stating that he is fine. Dr. Vogel informs subject that if he is experiencing any anomalous events, the observation team should be notified. Subject repeats again that everything is fine. 08:46:19 - Subject approaches the next closest door and attempts to open it. Unlike the previous doors, this one leads into a small room with desks similar in design to those that would be found in a United States high school classroom. Desks are arranged in a semicircular formation, facing the rear of the room where there is a small podium on a raised platform. A single chair sits to the side of the podium. A small spiral-bound notebook can be seen on one of the desks. 08:46:23 - Subject enters room and approaches the podium. Subject is instructed to place the notebook in an FRK for later study, but does not respond. When subject reaches the podium and turns around, another glitch occurs in the camera feed, and dark figures appear seated in the desks. Subject does not appear agitated as would be expected from such a sudden change in his environment. 08:46:37 - Dr. Vogel inquires if subject notices anything out of the ordinary. Subject does not respond, instead placing his hands on the podium and gripping the edges as though he is about to deliver a speech or report. Dr. Vogel asks again, insisting that subject respond. 08:47:12 - Subject remains silent for some time, and when he speaks it is not in response to Dr. Vogel's inquiry. Subject appears to be addressing the figures in the desks. Subject apologizes repeatedly for his crimes, going into great detail of each crime he was convicted of and some that were not on his record4. During his apology, subject begins openly weeping and slamming his hands on the podium. Dr. Vogel calls for an on-staff psychologist. 08:51:20 - After subject's apology and confession have gone on for several minutes, Dr. Sanderson arrives. Dr. Vogel explains the situation to her and asks that she attempt to calm the subject so that the mission can continue. 08:53:06 - Dr. Sanderson speaks to subject in gentle tones and attempts to calm him. Subject is completely non-responsive to any questions or statements from Dr. Sanderson. Subject has ceased speaking and is now sobbing with his head resting on the podium, occasionally lifting his head only to slam it on the podium again. With the camera at this angle, the camera feed is now picking up an additional figure seated in the chair next to the podium. 08:53:44 - The figure next to the podium rises from its chair and approaches subject. As the figure gets closer, the camera and audio feeds rapidly dissolve into complete static. 08:55:12 - When camera and audio feeds reactivate, subject is no longer in the classroom area, but instead staring out of an open window at the metropolitan area below. Subject looks over his shoulder and sees a figure, most likely the same one from the classroom, in the hallway. The figure inclines its head slightly, appearing to give the subject a nod of approval. 08:55:21 - Subject climbs onto window frame and, despite all efforts from Dr. Sanderson to convince him not to, jumps from the window. 08:55:24 - Video and audio feed cut out before subject makes impact with the ground. Dr. Vogel and α-5 Captain agree that expedition has been terminated. EXPEDITION TERMINATED 08:57:20 - 116 seconds after termination of the expedition, the door to SCP-3608 opened briefly, and a small notebook identical to that seen in the classroom fell onto the ground in front of it. D-41517 was sent to recover the notebook, and did so without incident. Notebook was designated SCP-3608-N and added to archived materials. [See Log 3608-R: Recovered Materials] - Expedition 3608-E3 + 3608-2I: Post-Expedition Interview Log - 3608-2I: Post-Expedition Interview Log Interviewed: D-Class Personnel D-991257 Interviewer: Dr. Sanderson, on-site psychologist for Site-3608 Foreword: D-991257 suffered from what appears to be a severe psychotic break during Expedition 3608-E2. Subject was unable or unwilling to communicate with any Foundation personnel until six days after she returned from the expedition. Begin Log: 09/07/2012 09:00 Dr. Sanderson: Greetings, D-991257. D-991257: …..Hi. Dr. Sanderson: How are you today? D-991257: I feel like shit, and it's your fault. Dr. Sanderson: Please, calm down. I am here to help. I understand that during your time inside of SCP-3608, you experienced some trauma? D-991257: Sure, you can call it trauma. I call it a fucking nightmare. Dr. Sanderson: D-991257, I must ask you to keep your language in check. I understand that what happened to you- D-991257: You understand? Let me tell you right now, you don't understand a goddamn thing about me, or that thing, or what it can do. Dr. Sanderson: Well, that's what I'm here to find out. Can you please tell me what happened to you inside SCP-3608? D-991257: Fine. Dr. Sanderson: Thank you. If you would, please tell me about the figure that you encountered after exiting the first building? D-991257: The shadow? Well, it looked sort of human, but it wasn't…solid. Dr. Sanderson: Not solid? Could you elaborate? D-991257: It was like it was made of smoke. It was shifting around, and it was blurry, sort of hard to focus on. And it didn't talk, but I could tell it was trying to tell me something. Dr. Sanderson: Did it communicate with you telepathically? D-991257: No, no voices in my head or anything. Just something I felt. It wanted me to follow so it could show me something. And it did, fuck it showed me something… Dr. Sanderson: The expedition footage shows that the figure led you to a building. D-991257: Yeah. Dr. Sanderson: And that something occurred when you entered the building…something that caused you great distress. D-991257: When I went into that building…. Subject takes a deep breath before continuing. D-991257: Listen, you know what I did to get in here. And if you're a shrink, you know that people don't do what I did unless they've been through some real bad shit. I didn't talk for three goddamn days, and not because I didn't have anything to say. I was afraid that if I opened my mouth I'd just start screaming again. Dr. Sanderson: I can't force you to talk about anything that you do not want to. However, it is of utmost importance that we learn as much as possible about this entity and its abilities. All I can do is ask you to tell me what happened to you in there. D-991257 takes several more deep breaths and shudders before speaking again. D-991257: It was like walking into hell itself. I remembered….no, I felt….everything. Every time someone held me down and [DATA EXPUNGED] me, every bruise and scratch, the feeling of shame and filth and the long showers that you know can't wash this away, and how difficult it is to let anyone, even someone you love, touch you that way because all you can do is relive being violated, and then the rage and the feeling of satisfaction from killing them, men who got off scot-free after [DATA EXPUNGED] a little girl! D-991257 stands up, slamming her hands on the table. Security personnel move to restrain her, but Dr. Sanderson motions for them to stay back. D-991257: And the court hearings, and that goddamned jury who'd rather see me locked up for giving them what they deserved than see those fuckers punished for ruining her life JUST LIKE MINE, and then your Foundation, they show up with waivers and a promise that I could help you save the world, but you can't, because the real monsters aren't locked up in here, they're all around us in the world, and they all look like people… D-991257 begins panting heavily and sits back down. She is crying. Dr. Sanderson offers her a box of tissues. D-991257 takes one and wipes her eyes. Dr. Sanderson: I am sorry that you were forced to experience these events again. Your file informed me of your past, but words can never convey the lasting effects of trauma like this. D-991257: All of that….all of it, all at once, flooding my mind… Dr. Sanderson waits as D-991257 continues crying. After several minutes, she stops, hiccuping slightly. She is clearly still distressed. D-991257: C-can I go now? Dr. Sanderson: Yes, thank you. You have given us some very important information. D-991257: Doctor, before I go… Dr. Sanderson: Yes? D-991257: Don't…don't let them do this to anyone else. That thing, whatever it is, it gets in your head, it knows you somehow, knows how to destroy you… Dr. Sanderson: I will do my best. End Log: 09/07/2012 09:05 Closing Statement: Dr. Sanderson submitted an official request to cease testing on the grounds that continued testing would be tantamount to willingly subjecting D-Class personnel to what amounts to psychological torture. Request was denied by the Dr. Vogel with the following comment: "Dr. Sanderson, we understand your concerns. However, D-Class personnel are made aware of the risks of their tasks when they are brought into Foundation custody. Sacrifices must be made to gain a better understanding of the forces that we are dealing with. Expeditions and testing will continue." - 3608-2I: Post-Expedition Interview Log + 3608-R: Recovered Materials - 3608-R: Recovered Materials SCP-3608-N is the sole piece of material that has exited SCP-3608 without Foundation intervention. It appears to be a standard spiral-bound lined notebook with dimensions of 88mm x 125mm x 7mm. It has been given to multiple subjects, including several D-Class personnel, Dr. Vogel, and Site Director Haugen. It appears as though the text within the notebook changes depending on the person reading it. Excerpts of the text as dictated by the readers can be seen below. Reader: D-411985 Contents: "They are lying to you. They know these things can kill you. You are disposable." These three statements were repeated ad infinitum until the end of the pages. Note: D-411985 was caught attempting to leave E-Site-11 sixteen hours after reading 3608-N. Subject was hostile upon approach and was thus terminated. Reader: D-97124 Contents: "Your family has forsaken you. Your father tries to forget your name. Your mother tries to forget your face. Your sister changed her name so that she could not be tied to you anymore." Note: D-97124 was caught attempting to take his own life nine hours after reading 3608-N. Subject was stopped and is currently undergoing treatment in the psych ward of E-Site-11. Reader: Dr. Vogel Contents: "You're so close. So close to the truth. You know what must be done." Note: This text and presumably others, acquired via non-approved contact by Dr. Vogel, are likely linked to Event 3608-V. Reader: Site Director Haugen Contents: [DATA EXPUNGED] Note: Data removed for security purposes. Contents included classified Foundation information. Reader: Dr. Sanderson Contents: "He's leaving you. You work too much, Jocelyn5." Note: Roughly seven hours after Dr. Sanderson read 3608-N, she received an email from her husband informing her that he wanted a divorce. This information was voluntarily given to the Foundation. - 3608-R: Recovered Materials + RESTRICTED ACCESS - Requires 3608-3 Security Clearance - ACCESS GRANTED Operation 3608-V 13/09/2015 Operation Goals: To locate and retrieve Dr. Vogel from inside SCP-3608. Operation Overseer: Site-3608 Director Haugen Operation Members: MTF Alpha-5 "Paranaughts" Captain Lauder, Agents Yukon, Powers, and Imski. Foreword: On 13/09/2015, four hours prior to this operation, Dr. Vogel, acting against all Foundation security and operational protocols, and in clear breach of containment procedures, entered SCP-3608. Director Haugen approved Operation 3608-V immediately when this was discovered. TRANSCRIPT 05:00:00 - 05:04:15 - Alpha-5 team members perform standard pre-mission checks of weapons and communications equipment. Each team member is equipped with short-range radios for intra-team communication, long-range radios for communication with Director Haugen, and chest-mounted body cameras. Each member is issued a field bag with five days of survival rations, six FRKs, an emergency medical kit, six autoinjecting needles with Class-D amnestics, and additional ammunition for their firearms. Cpt. Lauder: Alright, boys, standard search and retrieve. You all know who Dr. Vogel is, he's the target. If he's become compromised by the effects of 3608, we are authorized to terminate and retrieve the body. Understood? Yukon: Got it. Imski: Understood. Powers: In and out, sounds pretty simple. Dir. Haugen: To recap, the entity is a sapient dimension with, presumably, complete control over its internal layout. It's also been documented to have the ability to cause severe emotional distress. You were chosen because you all have clean records, no notable phobias, and high scores on the PRI6. D-Class have only been sent in one at a time so far, and we're not sure how it will react to multiple targets. No direct hostile activity has been seen from any entities inside; the danger seems to come from the entity's ability to manipulate emotions. Imski: I don't know boss, I stole a candy bar when I was seven. Might want to keep our eyes out for a giant, angry Mars bar. Powers and Yukon laugh. Cpt. Lauder: Can it. Anyone beginning to experience any regret, sadness, anger, anything like that, is to report it to the team immediately. We have low-strength Class D amnestics handy for short-term, recent memory erasure. Any hostile behavior towards a teammate or repeated refusal to follow orders will be seen as probable contamination and result in immediate termination. There will be no exceptions to this. We can't risk letting this thing into our heads. We all need to be on high alert - eyes up, ears open, heads clear. Alpha-5 team approaches the door. As Cpt. Lauder extends his hand to open it, the door opens before he makes contact. Powers: Well, that's not ominous. Cpt. Lauder: Sounds like we have a volunteer to go in first. Nods at Powers. Powers leads, Yukon and I follow, Imski brings up the rear. As Agent Powers crosses the threshold, his body-cam malfunctions. Cpt. Lauder and Agent Yukon attempt to follow, but the door violently swings shut, catching Agent Yukon's fingers between the door and frame, cleanly severing his forefinger and middle finger at the distal interphalangeal joint7. Agent Yukon shouts in pain and stumbles back from the door, attempting to stem the bleeding. Captain Lauder attempts to force the door open, but it remains shut. Cpt. Lauder: Shit! Powers, do you read? The door shut behind you, the rest of the team is not with you. Do you read? No response is heard from Agent Powers for roughly twenty seconds. Captain Lauder continues his attempts to force open the door. Agent Imski calls for on-site medical staff to assist Agent Yukon. Powers: I read, Captain. Christ, that hurts… Cpt. Lauder: Powers! Powers, what the hell happened? Powers: The door opened in the middle of the fucking sky. I fell probably…10 meters? Left leg is injured, potentially broken, and this place is…oh. Oh, shit. What the hell? Cpt. Lauder: What is it, Powers? Powers: I'm…I'm back at Site-3608. It dropped me right outside the entrance. But it's…wrong. Dir. Haugen: Of course it's wrong. I just checked with the security team, there's nobody at the entrance. Cpt. Lauder: Jesus. It recreated the site. Powers: What? Cpt. Lauder: It's able to get information about the subject's universe of origin. Dr. Vogel is inside right now. It's probably recreating the site from his mental image. Dir. Haugen: We've only seen it make uniform changes on a larger scale up to this point, but that sounds feasible. You are likely seeing 3608's recreation of Site-3608. Powers: I'm…not sure what I should do. Command, advise? Dir. Haugen: I would recommend proceeding into the facility with great caution. Attempt to locate the equivalent of Secure Wing Alpha in the hopes of finding an egress point. Cpt. Lauder: Agreed. Sounds like your best chance of getting out is to go in. Powers: I…I really don't like that idea. This place is really starting to get to me. Cpt. Lauder: Powers, stay calm. Remember, this thing hasn't hurt anyone directly. You're one of our best agents, and you've survived a thousand times worse shit than this. You can do this. No doubt, no fear. Powers: No doubt, no fear. Eyes open, head clear. Imski: You got this, Powers. Show this son of a bitch that it can't scare the Paranaughts! Yukon: And hey, uh, grab my fingertips if you can find them? The three MTF agents and Captain Lauder laugh. Powers: I'm going to splint my leg and head in. Still nothing on the video feed? Dir. Haugen: Sorry, Agent Powers, still nothing but static. Cpt. Lauder: We'll continue to monitor it as you go. Keep us updated if you notice anything abnormal, but assuming the site layout is identical, you should be able to get to Secure Wing Alpha no problem. Powers: Copy that, Captain. The sounds of Agent Powers bandaging his leg are heard. Medical staff have bandaged Agent Yukon's fingers and he is attempting to force the door open with Agent Imski. Captain Lauder and Director Haugen are monitoring Agent Powers' audio and video feeds. Powers: Alright, my leg is patched up as best as it's going to be. The sounds of Agent Powers getting to his feet are heard. Powers: Putting some weight on it. [Grunts.] It still hurts, but I think I'll manage. I'm heading to the main door. Cpt. Lauder: Copy. Keep us updated as you continue through the complex. Yukon and Imski are still trying to get that damned door back open. Powers: You got it, cap. The main door opened by itself as I approached, didn't need to insert my access card. I suppose complex security systems are a bit beyond this thing's ability, at least for now. Cpt. Lauder: What's the inside look like? Powers: It's identical to the site. It's kinda unnerving, seeing how it all looks right but just feels wrong, you know? Cpt. Lauder: Powers, we're the Paranaughts. Looking right but feeling weird is what we do. Powers: Got that right, captain. I think that this is helping, it's keeping me grounded. I'm heading through the door to the main hallway. No signs of activity. Cpt. Lauder: Just keep going. Still feeling alright? Powers: Yeah, I feel okay. There have been sort of…pinpricks is how I'd describe them. Like, it feels like something is trying to mess with me, but it just can't get in, can't get a grip on anything. Yukon: [Shouting] It's got nothing because you won't give it anything! No fear! Powers: Hallway was totally empty. I've reached the door to Secure Wing Alpha. Cpt. Lauder: You're almost out, Powers. Get in there, find the door, and get back to us. Drinks are on me. Powers: Yeah, like that would ever happen. The three MTF agents laugh. Cpt. Lauder: Oh, shut it, Agent. Powers: Just kidding, cap. I'm entering Secure Wing Alpha now. Cpt. Lauder: We all know you can do this, Powers. A sharp burst of static is heard over the audio feed. Powers: No! You're not getting in my head, you piece of shit! Cpt. Lauder: Powers, what's going on? Powers: I crossed the threshold and just…a spike of anxiety and fear hit me. It didn't try to bring up anything specific, it was like it was just trying to force emotions on me. I think I deflected the worst of it, though. Cpt. Lauder: Damn right! Show this thing who's boss! Powers: [Shouting] Yeah, you son of a bitch! My mind is my own, you can't feed on me! Cpt. Lauder: Alright Powers, you should be nearing the door now. What do you see? Powers: I'm entering the containment chamber now. And the door is…what the hell? Doctor? Dr. Vogel: Hello, Agent Powers. Cpt. Lauder: Powers! You found Vogel? Powers: Yeah, he's here. Doctor Vogel, I'm here to bring you back home. Do you know how to get out- Dr. Vogel: There is only one exit, Agent Powers. Me. Powers: Doctor, come on, we need you back at the site. Especially now, you've got some really useful information. We'll get you back to work- Dr. Vogel: Laughs. That's nonsense, and you know it. I've breached protocol. If I come with you, I might as well be dead. Which is why that's the only way you're getting out. You have to kill me. Powers: Screw that! Doctor, come on. You haven't done anything that can't be fixed. Director Haugen will understand- Dr. Vogel: Haugen is a fool! Just because some D-Class got scared, he wanted us to stop! To stop exploring this world! He is not a man of science, not like me. Cpt. Lauder: Powers, I think….I think you have to do it. We knew this might be an outcome. The doctor has clearly been compromised by this thing. Powers: I…alright. If that's your order, captain. Muffled movement is heard, presumably Powers unholstering his sidearm. Powers: Doctor, I'm sorry about this. Cpt. Lauder: Powers, wait! Three gunshots are heard in quick succession. The door to SCP-3608 opens, and Doctor Vogel's lifeless body falls through it. Cpt. Lauder: Shit! Powers, get out of there, now! Powers begins screaming, and his audio feed begins to become distorted. The video feed reactivates, and shows the scene of Powers shooting Doctor Vogel twice in the chest and once in the head on repeat. Agent Powers is seen through the door as it begins to close, raising his gun to his temple. Cpt. Lauder: [Shouting] POWERS!!! The door loudly slams shut, rendering it unclear if a gunshot was heard as well. OPERATION TERMINATED Note from Director Haugen: We have recovered a small audio recording device from Doctor Vogel's body. We hope that it will give us some insight into his actions. We are holding a small ceremony for him and Agent Powers, after which amnestics will be administered. The loss of Agent Powers has clearly had an effect on the morale of the other Alpha-5 team members, and it would be dishonest of me to say that the loss of Dr. Vogel has not affected me. It would be a liability to allow us to remember. - ACCESS GRANTED Addendum 1: Testing has been ceased pending review from The O5 Council. No personnel are to interact with or approach SCP-3608 without express approval from Site Director Haugen. Addendum 2: After Event 3608-V, 3608-N is considered a cognitohazard, as it appears to retain a portion of the entity's ability to manipulate emotions, triggered when read. 3608-N is to be locked in a Level 4 Anomalous Object Containment Safe in Site-3608. THIS FILE IS RESTRICTED TO PERSONNEL WITH LEVEL 5 CLEARANCE. ATTEMPTS AT UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS WILL RESULT IN THE ACTIVATION OF SECURITY PROTOCOLS. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3609	euclid	Item #: SCP-3609 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3609 is to be held in a containment cell at Lunar Area-32. SCP-3609 is to be monitored for any signs of hostile behaviour directed towards the Foundation, Foundation personnel, and/or its state of containment under the Foundation. Personnel interacting with SCP-3609 are to be disinfected of lunar soil or lunar rocks prior to contact. Mobile Task Force Gamma-4 ("Blondebeard's Crew") is to ensure that all paw prints created by SCP-3609 on the Lunar surface are erased. + View Previous Special Containment Procedures - Hide Previous Special Containment Procedures Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3609 is to be held in a containment cell at Lunar Area-32. Lunar rocks and/or lunar soil are to be provided to SCP-3609 once per day, to reduce hostile behaviour. Personnel interacting with SCP-3609 are to be disinfected of lunar soil or lunar rocks prior to contact. Mobile Task Force Gamma-4 ("Blondebeard's Crew") is to ensure that all paw prints created by SCP-3609 on the Lunar surface are erased. Description: SCP-3609 is a sapient male specimen of Canis lupus (grey wolf), with a head-to-tail length of 4.5 m and shoulder height of 2 m. It is capable of speech in Old West Norse, and surviving in a vacuum environment without respiration or protection from space exposure. Furthermore, SCP-3609 has been observed to be able to manoeuvre itself in low to zero gravity environments with relative ease, suggesting that it is adapted for locomotion in such environments. Although SCP-3609 does not need to eat or drink to survive, tests have shown that it can consume lunar rocks, lunar soil or items coated with either of the former1 without adverse effects to its body. It also displays a strong preference for the aforementioned items; tests have shown it preferring to consume lunar rocks and/or lunar soil over meat from animals typically eaten by members of the Canis genus. Likelihood of hostile behaviour has significantly decreased since introduction of lunar rocks and/or lunar soil to SCP-3609. Additionally, SCP-3609 is not found to have excreted, and it is believed to be incapable of excretion. SCP-3609 was identified following the Foundation's establishment of Lunar Area-32 in Mare Imbrium on ██/██/1998. SCP-3609 exhibited hostility during initial Foundation contact, requiring reinforcements from Distributed Task Force Sigma-6 ("Puddlejumpers") to successfully contain the entity. While in containment, SCP-3609 has been observed to produce vocalisations only in presence of Foundation personnel, which was postulated to be an attempt to communicate with Foundation personnel. Said vocalisations were recorded, and it was later identified to be Old West Norse. Dr. Sigurd Ólafsson of the Department of Terra-Linguistics was then assigned to conduct an interview with SCP-3609. However, due to prerequisite training sessions2 and other concurrent projects, an interview with SCP-3609 was only arranged by the year 2███. Below is a transcript of Interview Log 3609-01. Interviewee: SCP-3609 Interviewer: Dr. Sigurd Ólafsson Foreword: The following interview is originally conducted in Old Norse. As a safety precaution, Interviewee and Interviewer are separated by a wire fence, which is connected to an electric circuit. Upon hostile behaviour, Interviewer is to be evacuated and electric circuit is to be activated. Additionally, Interviewer is escorted by two members of MTF Γ-4, Agents E. Chang and R. Arch. Agent Chang holds the activation mechanism for the electric circuit. <Begin Log> Dr. Sigurd: Hello there, can you hear me? SCP-3609: A reply at last? Why only now that you have chosen to reply? Dr. Sigurd: Not many nowadays speak this wonderful tongue, and I needed time to prepare myself for this encounter. I'm still getting used to this environment, truth be told. SCP-3609: Enough! Answer me. What are you? Dr. Sigurd: Sigurd, son of Ólaf. SCP-3609: Not your name! You. Them. All of you stand as tall as the Jǫtnar3 and Æsir,4 yet smell of Midgard. What are you? Dr. Sigurd: Hmm. We are Man, denizens of Midgard. SCP-3609: Man? You? No, Man is small. My claw alone can crush a Man. My jaws can break even the sturdiest longships of Man. You might have disorientated my senses, but your jest is absurd. Dr. Sigurd: It's no- [pauses] Okay, tell me more about your deeds and accomplishments. Surely they are worthy of being heard. SCP-3609: Yes. I was so near the accomplishment of my purpose. I successfully threw Máni off his chariot during my previous round of pursuit, and was about to devour him. But ten beams of light from the East consumed us, and then I find myself standing under the sky of darkness and on that lifeless land. Máni was nowhere in sight. Perhaps a trick from Sól, but she is only one being. Dr. Sigurd: Máni? The moon deity? SCP-3609: Yes. Son of Mundilfari and brother of Sól. He who rides the chariot of the moon across the darkened heavens over Midgard. Dr. Sigurd: In that case, you must be Hati. SCP-3609: Yes. Hati Hróðvitnisson, son of Fenrir and brother of Skǫll. Fated to devour Máni to free Father. Dr. Sigurd: Indeed. After losing track of Máni, how did you respond to your situation? SCP-3609: I searched all over that lifeless land, believing that Máni might be hiding there. But I've never seen Máni at all. Only a strange robed Man in this land whom I initially imagined to be Máni in disguise, but he smelled of both Midgard and a strange foreign scent I cannot make anything out of. Dr. Sigurd: You can smell when you are outside? SCP-3609: No. Scents and sounds do not exist in that lifeless land. Only in his and your domains do scents and sounds exist. Dr. Sigurd: Of course. I want to talk about your past encounters with my co-workers. Why you have attacked them when they first approached you outside? SCP-3609: Who? Dr. Sigurd: The people who brought you here. SCP-3609: I imagined that they might know of Máni's whereabouts, maybe his followers here to mock me. They fought back, and so did I. Dr. Sigurd: If you initially believed us that we are enemies, why did you stop attacking us after being kept here? SCP-3609: Your smell. It is only in here that I can smell you and I know that you are not Máni. In fact, you have been offering Máni to me. Dr. Sigurd: We did? SCP-3609: Yes. Your co-workers frequently offered me pieces bearing Máni's essence for me to devour. Of course, I will not be placated by such meagreness. I must devour Máni, all of him. That is my purpose, and I will accomplish it. [As SCP-3609 vocalises the statement above, Dr. Sigurd turns to Agents Chang and Arch.] Dr. Sigurd [in English]: You two, help me here. He's saying that we've been giving him things to eat. What is it? Agent Chang [in English]: Mostly moon rocks, doctor. [Dr. Sigurd places his palm on his forehead while shaking his head for two seconds. After which, he removes his hand from his face, and faces SCP-3609 again.] Dr. Sigurd: I suppose Fenrir will rise if you devour Máni. SCP-3609: No if. It will happen. When Skǫll and I accomplish our purpose, Father will rise again. Dr. Sigurd: You truly have Fenrir's interests in mind. SCP-3609: I exist for Father to be freed. Dr. Sigurd: I can tell. So like he's fated to, he will kill Odin. Am I correct? SCP-3609: Yes. Dr. Sigurd: And as fated, Fenrir will be slaughtered by Víðarr, son of Odin. SCP-3609: Yes. Dr. Sigurd: Therefore, freeing Fenrir will free him from living as well. SCP-3609: Yes. I exist for Father to be freed. Dr. Sigurd: What about you? What will you be doing when Fenrir kills Odin? Or when Víðarr kills Fenrir? SCP-3609: I, I am not sure. Dr. Sigurd: It is as you have said, your purpose ends when you consume Máni and Fenrir breaks loose. Do think about it. If we're having this engaging conversation, you're certainly more than a means to an end. [SCP-3609 ceases vocalisation and prowls around its containment cell. Dr. Sigurd attempted to call for SCP-3609 attention, to no avail.] <End Log> Closing Statement: Following Interview, tests using lunar rocks and lunar soil are to cease. SCP-3609 has not expressed any request for lunar rocks or lunar soil, and has shown no notable signs of hostile behaviour. Special Containment Procedures updated. Footnotes 1. This postulate is derived from an observation wherein SCP-3609 is more likely to attack objects that had contact with lunar soil than objects that do not have such contact. 2. Includes special training regarding adaptation to environments with low to zero gravity, and interview techniques against hostile sapient SCP entities. 3. A mythological race in Norse mythology who resides in the realm Jǫtunheimr, often associated with giants and monsters. 4. The primary pantheon of deities in Norse mythology who resides in the realm Asgard, mostly representing war and conquest. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3609" by MrWrong, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3610	neutralized	Item #: SCP-3610 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3610 and a 5 meter radius around it are to be enclosed in a 20-meter-tall net to prevent any avian lifeforms from entering. The area is to be monitored, and repairs are to be made should the net be breached. Description: SCP-3610 is an irregular area of roughly 2.6 km2, located in ███████, Shandong Province, China. SCP-3610 has a salt water pond of roughly 140 m2 in size and 5m deep (referred to as SCP-3610-1) located inside it, and is otherwise filled with pebbles. Two anomalous properties are observed: When solid matter is placed within SCP-3610-1, the same volume of water will disappear. Dissolved substances present in the water will be left behind. This effect will not reverse even after the object is removed. When avian lifeforms enter SCP-3610 at an altitude of 15m or less, they will stop all previous activities and begin to find and carry stones from the surrounding area, and place them within SCP-3610-1.1 This will continue until they eventually die of exhaustion. It is theorized that SCP-3610-1 once covered the entirety of SCP-3610, but reduced to the current size due to the anomalous properties. Addendum: Aside from the remains of avian lifeforms, digging at the site of SCP-3610 found remains of various sea life, as well the skeleton of a female humanoid dating back to around 3000 BCE, later classified as Anomalous Object #72976. DNA analysis of the subject shows no significant differences from baseline human DNA. However, AO#72976 possesses hollow bone structures similar to those found in avian lifeforms and half-developed wings in place of arms and hands. A piece of jade jewelry was recovered from its chest, with Chinese characters of previously unknown variation engraved on it. The text translates to "Beloved daughter of [illegible]". After AO#72976 was removed from the site, SCP-3610 ceased all anomalous activities. Putting AO#72976 into bodies of water or burying it near bodies of water yielded no result, and SCP-3610 was reclassified as Neutralized. Footnotes 1. This triggers the primary effect and results in reduction of the size and depth of SCP-3610-1. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3610" by SunnyClockwork, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3611	safe	Four cards from the Yamauchi Deck. Clockwise from top left: The Fox / 狐 (3611-0355), The Weeping Man / 夜鳴き男 (3611-0508), The Fool / ざ・ふうる (3611-0049), The Umibozu / 海坊主 (3611-0003). Item #: SCP-3611 Special Containment Procedures: Item is kept in a secure locker in the Games department. To aid research efforts, weekly consulting sessions with Ms. Yamauchi Eiko (refer to Person-Of-Interest file #3611-B) have been scheduled at the Takeya District Hospice, subject to her present state of health. Novel card interactions and new cards discovered in the course of play are to be catalogued with due diligence. Description: The item is an antique deck of hand-painted obake-karuta playing cards bearing non-standard iconography from Japanese and European sources. It is accompanied by a lacquered mulberry-wood case with a brief description of its contents inscribed within; said description claims that the deck is intended for play under an obsolete Kyoto variant of obake-karuta known as 千人一首 / senren-isshu (en: "A thousand poets, a single verse"). While research has yet to uncover much written evidence of the game's existence1, its rules have been passed down through oral instruction from Ms. Yamauchi Eiko (山内永子, born September 17, 1932), the sole surviving descendent of the item's creator. Play proceeds similar to conventional obake-karuta, with the aim of the game to clear the table of all its cards based on cues given by a referee. However, senren-isshu is intended as a cooperative game instead, whereby claimed cards must be rearranged towards the center of the play area to construct a coherent story. Given the deck's sheer volume and the play area's limited size, this usually results in the cards arranged in a spiralling pattern towards the center. As in conventional obake-karuta, the game concludes when all the cards have been exhausted. There are legal and illegal plays: for example, The Fisherman / 漁師 (3611-0062) may conceivably encounter The Umibozu / 海坊主 (3611-0003) or fall prey to the maddening reflection of The Moon / ざ・むうん (3611-0015), but cannot possibly precede The Scarab / すからべ (3611-0601) or The Mountain General / 山の将 (3611-0259), unless intervening cards are played by the other players to explain the incongruity. Should all moves played be legal, players will find that an additional card has been manifested by the deck. New cards produced invariably depict a unique character, creature, or symbol in the same style as the rest of the deck. Careful accounting must take place to determine which card has been generated by this process. Addendum: A brief history of the Yamauchi Deck According to Eiko, the deck was originally created by her father, Yamauchi Kiyofumi (山内清文, October 22, 1910 — February 23, 1945), himself the grandson of Yamauchi Fusajiro (山内房治郎, November 22, 1859 — January 1, 1940), the illustrious founder of the playing card manufacturer Nintendo Koppai. An eclectic and talented painter, Kiyofumi was delegated by his grandfather to design a commemorative product for the company's 40th anniversary at the age of 18. The result was the original 72-card senren-isshu deck presented at the Yamauchi's New Year celebrations in 1929, received with great fanfare by the family and their close friends. Accusations of nepotism from the extended Yamauchi clan — as well as the relative obscurity of senren-isshu itself — led Fusajiro to cancel the production of his grandson's deck. In return, the perfectionist Kiyofumi disavowed all ties from the Yamauchi estate, fleeing to Tokyo with his pregnant wife Chisato to seek his own fortune2. During this period, Chisato gave birth to her first two children: Juunichiro, in 1930; and Eiko, in 1932. Eventually, tragedy struck. Chisato passed away while giving birth to Yamauchi Eimi in the winter of 1937, leaving Kiyofumi to raise the children by himself. It was during this time that Eiko learned of her father's past in Kyoto, and of the mysterious deck that had brought him here. She and Juunichiro soon sought it out, playing out secret games of senren-isshu when their father was away, and eventually, in the early hours of March 31, 1936, they produced its first new card: The Morningstar / 暁星 (designated 3611-073)3. Driven by the discovery, Juunichiro soon assumed the responsibility of investigating and documenting the deck's myriad interactions, joined by his sisters. It was not an easy task: games with the original 72-card deck lasted three hours at least, and the longest recorded game on June 24, 1943 lasted three days and three nights. As Japan plunged into war, the children found themselves drawn further and further into their father's game, producing a total of 105 new cards and documenting more than 2,000 narrative interactions between them. The last documented game by the Yamauchis began on the night of February 24, 1945. It was never completed. The firebombing of Tokyo had already begun; Kiyofumi, who had left to collect rations the previous morning, had never returned. As the city burned around them, Eiko fled her home with her siblings, leaving the deck — and Juunichiro's painstakingly-curated notes4 — behind. Miraculously, the deck survived. Word of its existence must have spread since its unveiling in 1929, and by the 1950s, several decks in its style were known to be in circulation around Tokyo. Marshall, Carter and Dark began searching for the original in 1989, only recovering it in full in 1993. By then, it had accumulated an additional 257 cards, numbering 434 cards in all. In 1995, the Yamauchi Deck was sold to a Foundation-affiliated collector, who donated the item along with other artefacts to the Foundation in 1996. Today, the deck's play time has been shortened to fifteen hours or less through the use of modern-day pattern-matching algorithms. However, owing to the Foundation's incomplete knowledge of the game, certain gamestates can still only be solved through trial and error. In such cases, the advice of Ms. Yamauchi Eiko has proved invaluable in enumerating the deck's possible outcomes5. In this manner, 662 new cards have been discovered since the Foundation's acquisition. As of 09/11/2005, the deck now numbers 1,087 cards with a total of 13,992 documented narrative interactions between them. Footnotes 1. That's not to say it didn't exist outside the Yamauchi clan: I've found mentions of it in a 1951 Kyoto Shinbun article on pre-war pastimes, and — inexplicably — in a collection of old songs about the city's Higashiyama district dating from 1965. - Researcher A. Fujiwara. 2. As luck would have it, Kiyofumi found great success as a dealer and part-time illustrator of kamishibai, painted boards used by street performers as storytelling props. No small coincidence, then, that he is survived today by his deck and its infinitude of tales. - Researcher A. Fujiwara. 3. A most versatile card. Being the first-discovered card, it is also the most well-investigated and well-understood, symbolising guidance, hope, and the start of journeys — but also the Western connotations of a fall from grace, a loss of innocence, a descent into madness. - Researcher A. Fujiwara. 4. According to Eiko, Juunichiro never stopped trying to recompile his notes from memory, even if he never saw the original deck again. He died in 1993 in a Sanya flophouse, surrounded by barely-legible scribblings; some of it was salvaged by Toshio Tanaka, his caseworker during his final days. To date, they remain the only written record of the deck as it was meant to be played. - Researcher A. Fujiwara. 5. Eiko has been most helpful, except when circumstances permit. For instance, she rejects vehemently any notion that the deck's interactions might have shifted over time, remaining as unchanged as they were on the day of her and her brother's first game. - Researcher A. Fujiwara.
SCP-3612	keter	NOTICE The following file contains a description of a Class-VIII Psychic/Cognitohazardous Data-based Entity. If your workstation has not received appropriate C8/3612 inoculation, do not continue reading beyond this point. Close this file immediately and delete applicable system logs to prevent the targeting of your workstation by SCP-3612. Furthermore, this file has been reordered from the standard format in an attempt to reduce its SSO-Score. This will increase the chances of this file remaining intact in case of containment breach. Item #: SCP-3612 The Top of the SCiPNET Mainlist Prior to enacting SCP-3612 Containment Procedures Description: SCP-3612 describes a sentient and extremely destructive computer virus, believed to have originated within the Chaos Insurgency, that inhabits the Foundation SCiPNET Database. It is capable of relocating itself to any position within the aforementioned filesystem - regardless of any firewalls or attempts at quarantine. Only one copy of SCP-3612 is known to exist, and all attempts to create copies in a controlled environment have met with failure. SCP-3612 is a powerful infovore known to exclusively target and delete specific types of data. Namely, any data that exhibits Symbolic Sequential Ordering (SSO) is at risk. In order for data to be classified as SSO-Positive, two qualifications must be met. Data must be organized in the form of a list. Data must be ordered with respect to a specific, deliberate purpose. Examples of SSO-Positive data include lists arranged in chronological order and lists arranged in order of some quantitative measurement, as well as lists ordered qualitatively. When a test subject is presented with a list of objects and instructed to order them according to "their liking," the resultant data is SSO-Positive, and as such, will be targeted by SCP-3612. Prior to the entity's discovery and containment, SCiPNET's SCP Mainlist was arranged chronologically, in order of item discovery and as a result had an SSO-Score of 0.5. As such, it was targeted by SCP-3612, and manual recompiling of large portions of the database was necessary after containment was established. After containment, the database's SSO-Score has been reduced to 0.1, and attacks on valuable files have been greatly reduced1. Addendum 2: Partially Recovered Chaos Insurgency E-Mail Delta Command, I'm sending this message from a quarantined laptop - as far as I know, it's never had any connection with the mainframe here, so it should be fine, I hope.

James Carpenter, Site 230 R&D Division Special Containment Procedures: All attempts to limit the movements of SCP-3612 within the Foundation SCiPNet Database have met with failure. As such, further containment of SCP-3612 requires two distinct special procedures. The first of these is the SCP-3612 Distraction Protocol. At no less than five Foundation sites worldwide, at least one member of D-Class personnel per site must be simultaneously generating lists that exhibit Symbolic Sequential Ordering (SSO) as detailed in the Description. The subject matter contained within these lists is irrelevant – of significance is that the data within the lists is deliberately ordered according to some strategy. The specific strategy employed is irrelevant – although a positive correlation is suspected between use of qualitative data to generate lists and the attraction of SCP-3612. No fewer than five such lists must exist at any time, and more must be generated to replace lists that have been damaged or destroyed. The second procedure consists of a revision of Numerical Assignment Protocol. In order to prevent the SCP Document Mainlist, stored within SCiPNet servers, from being corrupted by SCP-3612, the Mainlist must be made less appealing to the entity. As such, the following procedures have been developed to ensure minimum chance of the SCP Mainlist itself being classified as SSO-Positive. SCP designation numbers must not be assigned with regard to order of discovery, nor with regard to any overarching method. Instead, personnel responsible for recovery of an object will be required to choose its designation number from any unused slots in the database. This will introduce the personal preference or superstitions of thousands of separate individuals, minimizing the chances of a coherent pattern emerging2. Any objects recovered prior to these procedures being enacted will be numbered according to the preferences of any surviving personnel involved in their recovery. If no such surviving personnel exist, the object will be numbered according to the preference of its highest-ranking designated researcher. Footnotes 1. Specifically, to 0.1% of their original rate. 2. It has been discovered that conflicting organizational methodology reduces SSO-Score more strongly than simple randomness.
SCP-3613	euclid	In this one Marshall, Carter, and Dark save a guy and his whole family from dying after a car accident and what do you mean they're supposed to be the bad guys? Hey! Let go of me! Canon Hub » The Gulf » SCP-3613 Canon Hub » Those Twisted Pines Hub » SCP-3613 Groups of Interest » Anderson Robotics Hub » SCP-3613 Groups of Interest » Marshall, Carter and Dark Hub » SCP-3613 Alright I'll admit it I watched Blade Runner a couple times this week. Thanks to The Great Hippo, Jacob Conwell, and Dr. Chandra for giving this draft a look before I posted it. ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} by Doctor Cimmerian Item #: SCP-3613 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3613 instances are to be kept in standard humanoid containment cells on floor 19 of Site-88. Under no circumstances are the location of these objects to be disclosed to any agents of Marshall, Carter and Dark1. Physical testing of SCP-3613 instances requires permission of the SCP-3613 project head and Site-88 director Phillip Foster. Description: SCP-3613 is a collection of 4 humanoid robots (possessing the instance designations SCP-3613-1 through -4). While these instances are theoretically capable of anomalous physical and mental performance, none display abilities above that of the human baseline. These instances also express a belief that they are the immediate family of an individual identified as Jacob Jefferson (a known agent of Marshall, Carter and Dark). On October 31st 2013 Jacob Jefferson and his immediate family were the victims of a traffic accident. Mr. Jefferson was the only survivor of the incident, suffering a class A spinal cord injury which resulted in tetraplegia. Mr. Jefferson has since fully recovered from these injuries. Documentation recovered from Anderson Robotics2 indicates that the SCP-3613 instances are part of a family replacement program initiated by Marshall, Carter and Dark in order to ensure employee loyalty. The following communication was intercepted on November 8th 2013: Dear Mr. Carter, I'm going to be honest. Hearing that you were interested in our androids for the purpose of replacing family members gave me pause at first. Once your assistant explained the purpose and process though, I have to say this is an ingenious idea. Your agent, Mr. Hr'asm'Kal3, delivered the Jefferson family's spirits this afternoon. We'll be loading them into the generation 3 models tonight. By tomorrow this man should have his family back. I know this is just good business for you, but it's always a joy when good business and doing the right thing align. Please give my best to Mr. Jefferson. It's ironic that he's got a much longer road to recovery than his family, but at least they'll be there to get him through it. Anderson. SCP-3613-3 was damaged cosmetically during a bullying incident at Gulf Shores High School in Baldwin County, Alabama on March 18th, 2015. Police reports of the incident led Foundation agents to the hospital where the damaged instance was being treated. The follow-up investigation resulted in all instances being identified and captured. During this incident Mr. Jefferson was acting as head of security at a Marshall, Carter and Dark auction in Atlanta, Georgia. + Level 3 Access Required - Hide Addendum 1 Absent a direct request from Marshall, Carter, and Dark the Foundation is under no obligation under the SUSEOCT4 to return their property. The Foundation's capture of the SCP-3613 instances was therefore kept classified in order to avoid an incident. During this incident Site-88's Director Maddox was in the process of being replaced by Dr. Phillip Foster because of Mr. Maddox's duplicity in regards to project Alpha-9 and the incidents of Incursion 88-045. It is believed that Mr. Maddox revealed the location and status of the SCP-3613 instances at this time to agents of Marshall, Carter and Dark. The following message was received very shortly after Director Foster took full control of Site-88: Dear Dr. Foster, It has come to our attention that you are currently in possession of our property (designated by you as SCP-3613-1, SCP-3613-2, SCP-3613-3, and SCP-3613-4). Our organization is invoking Clause 3, Section 5 of the SUSEOCT and making a formal request for the return of the the following property: A generation 3 Anderson Robotics android. Appears as, identifies as, and possessed by the spirit of a 39 year old female named Delores Jefferson. A damaged generation 3 Anderson Robotics android. Appears as, identifies as, and possessed by the spirit of a 16 year old female named Alice Jefferson. A generation 3 Anderson Robotics android. Appears as, identifies as, and possessed by the spirit of a 12 year old female named Tracy Jefferson. A generation 3 Anderson Robotics android. Appears as, identifies as, and possessed by the spirit of a 7 year old male named Jacob Jefferson Junior. This property is to be returned at your earliest convenience. A bill for housing, recovery, and transportation costs should be presented no more than 30 business days from the receipt of this message. Sincerely, the office of Mr. Dark. + Level 4 Access Required - Hide Incident Report 3613-5 The Foundation legal department issued a formal denial of possession of these instances in order to delay their return and recommended an acceleration of SCP-3613's research schedule. On January 9th, 2016, a convoy transporting the instances from Site-88 to Site-19 came under attack by a group of mercenaries believed to be connected to Marshall, Carter and Dark. This attack was repelled, the instances were returned to Site-88 for security reasons, and several of the mercenaries were captured. Among those captured was the operation's leader, Jacob Jefferson. A full physical examination of Jacob Jefferson was immediately carried out in order to determine the manner by which his spinal injury was treated. However, no signs of the spinal injury were present. Mr. Jefferson resisted interrogation and refused to respond to requests outside of his own demands to see his family. On January 11th, 2016, the following message was received from Marshall, Carter and Dark: Dear Dr. Foster, Despite your previous denials we are certain that you possess our property. Your organization has until February 15th of this year to return all property under previously received requests (specifically the generation 3 androids designated by you as SCP-3613).

SCP-3614	euclid	BY ORDER OF THE OVERSEER COUNCIL The following file describes an anomaly pertaining to Project BLACK CREVASSE. Information on BLACK CREVASSE is on a need-to-know basis only. SCP-3614-2, photographed during descent Item #: SCP-3614 Special Containment Procedures: Due to the immovable nature of SCP-3614-1, it is to remain at its site of discovery. Containment teams have established a 4 km perimeter around SCP-3614-1; civilian traffic is to be rerouted under the guise of a cover story alleging military operations in the area. Area-31Ω has been established around SCP-3614-1 to carry out exploration of SCP-3614-Prime. Only D-class may enter SCP-3614-Prime with Level 4/3614 permissions. SCP-3614-2 is to be kept in a standard low-security containment locker. Testing on SCP-3614-2 and access to the information contained within can only be done with Level 5/3614 approval. The Overseer Council is investigating the credibility of Document 3614-B, which was recovered from SCP-3614-2 upon its discovery on 2/27/2019. In addition, the Foundation is attempting communication with SCP-3614-Prime to gain more information regarding potential anomalous influences on consensus reality. However, current temporal models, namely the Ogundimu-Zhang hypothesis, estimate chances of success to be low: approximately 1 out of 10 ✕ 10100. Description: SCP-3614 designates a set of three extra-temporal anomalies. SCP-3614-1 is a conic area of space in Toole County, Utah, United States. The anomaly is approximately 500 meters in height and 2 meters in width at its base, tapering towards its top. SCP-3614-1 appears as a distinct visual distortion of the surrounding area, taking on a prominent crystalline-like appearance and texture. SCP-3614-1 has been reported by on-site personnel to emit a high-pitched noise akin to that of wind blowing. All matter that enters SCP-3614-1 will be transported to a space-time anomaly designated SCP-3614-Prime. The SCP-3614-Prime anomaly appears effectively identical to Earth; however, numerous aspects of it are inconsistent with those in the baseline reality, as documented below. It is unknown if these deviations extend beyond the SCP-3614-Prime version of Earth, or if they are confined to the planet. SCP-3614-1 was unintentionally created during preliminary tests of Project BLACK CREVASSE, a Foundation initiative headed by O5-1 and O5-13. Following the discovery of SCP-3614-Prime and failure of initial experiments, O5-1 discontinued BLACK CREVASSE on 6/21/2018. Further information is in Document 3614-A: BLACK CREVASSE Project Brief. SCP-3614-2 is an ellipsoidal metallic capsule originating from SCP-3614-Prime. Dimensions are approximately 1.3 by 2.8 meters. Analysis has revealed that SCP-3614-2 is comprised of non-anomalous steel along with several other substances unknown to modern science. Further examination of SCP-3614-2 has revealed that it contains an electronic terminal interface similar to those used by the Foundation, from which Document 3614-B was recovered. SCP-3614-2 was first seen emerging from the top end of SCP-3614-1 on 2/27/2019. Full emergence from SCP-3614-1 took 3 minutes and 21 seconds. After emergence, SCP-3614-2 traveled 264 meters due west via an unknown means of propulsion and crash-landed in the nearby desert. To date, this is the only observed occurrence of contact from SCP-3614-Prime. Investigation of recovered materials from SCP-3614-Prime has revealed that it exhibits the following critical divergences from baseline reality: Advanced technology beyond the capabilities of currently understood science Different socio-cultural trends throughout history, including increased globalization in the 20th century and overall reduced rates of nationalism, isolationism, etc. The non-existence or otherwise historical displacement of numerous events and time periods of the prime timeline (see Addendum 3614-1) The SCP Foundation revealing its existence to the public in the early 21st century, acting as a global agency with significant influence in the governments of all world powers Most notably, the absence of all sapient life within SCP-3614-Prime Addendum 3614-1: Major Observed Temporal Deviations + ACCESS files://3614/main/tempdev.pdf - ACCESS GRANTED DISCLAIMER: The following table has been redacted for brevity. Event Baseline Timeline SCP-3614-Prime First Crusade 1095 CE - 1099 CE. Pope Urban II reclaims Jerusalem from the Fatimad Caliphate. Victory incites continued religious conflicts in the area until the late 13th century. 1095 CE - 1098 CE. Pope Urban II does not capture Jerusalem. Status quo ante bellum. Fall of the Inca Empire 1532 CE - 1572 CE. The arrival of Spanish conquistadors in South America has a catastrophic effect on the Inca population, resulting in a population decline ratio of 58:1 between 1520 - 1571. Results in the fall of the Inca empire in 1572. Does not occur. Both parties develop a mutually beneficial relationship with natives. Inca Empire persists for two more centuries. Existence of the Congo Free State 1885 CE - 1908 CE. Belgian King Leopold II claims most of the Congo basin at the Berlin Conference. Natives suffer from disease, famine, and violence at the hands of Leopold's regime. Does not occur. Cambodian Civil War 1968 CE - 1975 CE. The Communist Party of Kampuchea overthrows the incumbent Khmer Republic, establishing the state of Democratic Kampuchea. Cambodian Genocide begins after Kampuchea victory. Total population loss amounts to 1.671 - 1.871 million. 1968 CE - 1971 CE. The Communist Party of Kampuchea loses the war. Cambodian Genocide does not occur. Democracy Wall Movement 1978 CE - 1979 CE. Thousands of Chinese protesters put up pro-democracy posters on a long wall in Xidan Street, Beijing. Results in a brief period of liberalization in the People's Republic of China. 1978 CE. Approx. 926 Beijing citizens are reported abducted over the course of the twelve months following the discovery of the posters. Discussion of these abductions is highly censored for many years after. Addendum 3614-2: Selected Correspondence + ACCESS files://3614/main/correspondences.pdf - ACCESS GRANTED The following is a collection of archived correspondence between Dr. Liu Zhang and Dr. Adebiyi Ogundimu, Project Co-leads on SCP-3614. DATE: 1/16/2019 TO: Dr. Liu Zhang <tni.pcs\|gnahzl#tni.pcs\|gnahzl> FROM: Dr. Adebiyi Ogundimu <tni.pcs\|umidnugoa#tni.pcs\|umidnugoa> SUBJECT: Prelim. observations Preliminary explorations have been completed. I can safely say there's no sign of sentient life in 3614-Prime. Looks like we're dealing with another "crapsack" world, if you mind the informal language. Nothing unique. DATE: 1/16/2019 TO: Dr. Adebiyi Ogundimu <tni.pcs\|umidnugoa#tni.pcs\|umidnugoa> FROM: Dr. Liu Zhang <tni.pcs\|gnahzl#tni.pcs\|gnahzl> SUBJECT: RE: Prelim. observations Your observations have been noted. I think we can agree that we should designate SCP-3614 as a low-priority assignment for the time being. We have more important issues on our hands. DATE: 1/20/2019 TO: Dr. Liu Zhang <tni.pcs\|gnahzl#tni.pcs\|gnahzl> FROM: Dr. Adebiyi Ogundimu <tni.pcs\|umidnugoa#tni.pcs\|umidnugoa> SUBJECT: Further observations My team and I have been conducting further explorations into 3614-Prime. I'm well aware that you have designated it as low-priority, but I still think you will find this interesting. From what we can determine, the basic laws of science still apply inside there. Hume levels are practically normal. So we can rule out Prime being a parallel/pocket dimension. This is a full-on alternate timeline we're dealing with here, Level I on the Tegmark scale. Given the condition of Prime, this raises an important question: how did it become the way it is? DATE: 1/25/2019 TO: Dr. Liu Zhang <tni.pcs\|gnahzl#tni.pcs\|gnahzl> FROM: Dr. Adebiyi Ogundimu <tni.pcs\|umidnugoa#tni.pcs\|umidnugoa> SUBJECT: New findings We've figured out what the facility on the other side of 3614-1 is. It's a Foundation site. Specifically, Site-82. For whatever reason, they finished construction over there. This opens a whole new realm of information we can glean from Prime. If they've built Site-82, then that means they probably gave BLACK CREVASSE the green light too. God knows what happened after that. I don't know how much you know, but I was never really briefed on BLACK CREVASSE back when it was a thing. This was in spite of the fact that the hypothesis the O5 Council decided to source for their uses is partly named after me. Personally, I would have appreciated being let in on it a little more. I digress. We need to investigate this further. DATE: 1/26/2019 TO: Dr. Adebiyi Ogundimu <tni.pcs\|umidnugoa#tni.pcs\|umidnugoa> FROM: Dr. Liu Zhang <tni.pcs\|gnahzl#tni.pcs\|gnahzl> SUBJECT: RE: New findings Believe me, there was really nothing to know about. BLACK CREVASSE was nothing more than a set of ideas, only in the realm of the hypothetical. Looking back, it was never meant to be. At least, in our world. Maybe we could learn more about what could have been. Report on what you find there. DATE: 2/14/2019 TO: Dr. Liu Zhang <tni.pcs\|gnahzl#tni.pcs\|gnahzl> FROM: Dr. Adebiyi Ogundimu <tni.pcs\|umidnugoa#tni.pcs\|umidnugoa> SUBJECT: RE: RE: New findings We've found information regarding BLACK CREVASSE in Site-82 from archived server data. It's confirmed my suspicions; it seems like they've moved forward with it over there. The most recent legible document we could find details the cessation of preliminary testing. But after that, it just stops. That's not the whole story, though. We've found other documents on another Foundation project called LIGHT EMPATH. They're highly corrupted, but from what we can gather, LIGHT EMPATH was put into operation as soon as BLACK CREVASSE ended. What we can decipher is… intriguing. The temporal models it presents are incredibly complex, far beyond anything we have developed. From our point of view, it seems like madness. But from theirs… maybe it's something else entirely. DATE: 2/17/2019 TO: Dr. Liu Zhang <tni.pcs\|gnahzl#tni.pcs\|gnahzl> FROM: Dr. Adebiyi Ogundimu <tni.pcs\|umidnugoa#tni.pcs\|umidnugoa> SUBJECT: Something strange Things don't quite make sense. In all other documents we've recovered so far, there's nothing that could explain what happened to Prime. No distress signals, no containment breaches, nothing. It's like Site-82 is frozen in time. Something about this doesn't feel right. I propose postponing all exploration of Prime until further notice. DATE: 2/25/2019 TO: Dr. Liu Zhang <tni.pcs\|gnahzl#tni.pcs\|gnahzl> FROM: Dr. Adebiyi Ogundimu <tni.pcs\|umidnugoa#tni.pcs\|umidnugoa> SUBJECT: A thought Last night, I had a nightmare. It was the kind that you don't remember. The kind in which all the fear, so clear and present just heartbeats ago, vanishes as soon as you open your eyes. Whatever it was, it got me thinking. And the first thing my racing brain thought of, as I lied in bed covered in sweat, was the same thing I've been thinking of almost constantly for the past few weeks. 3614-Prime is a dead world. Never in any of our explorations have we seen anything even resembling any form of life. Yet all the information is still there. Books. Maps. Even the Internet still works in there. And never have we ever discovered a single piece of information that gave any background to how it became this way. Something doesn't quite add up. I lied in bed, ruminating on this for hours. Then I realized something. I think we've been peering through the looking glass so much that we've gotten tunnel vision. 3614-1 is a one-way window to another world. Another timeline, a different history, where all sapient life is dead. That is what it looks like from our side. What if we've been looking through from the wrong side? DATE: 2/26/2019 TO: Dr. Liu Zhang <tni.pcs\|gnahzl#tni.pcs\|gnahzl> FROM: Dr. Adebiyi Ogundimu <tni.pcs\|umidnugoa#tni.pcs\|umidnugoa> SUBJECT: I know now. We aren't looking at them. They're looking at us. Document 3614-A: BLACK CREVASSE Project Brief + ACCESS files://BC41117632/main/brief.pdf - ACCESS GRANTED TOP SECRET Project Codename: BLACK CREVASSE Project #: BC-41117632 Project Aim: To create a convenient means of travel to and from determinative sets outside of normal temporal progression as understood by conventional science. Project Leads: O5-1, O5-13 Attached Notice from O5-1: The Overseer Council has deemed it necessary to formulate a secondary contingency plan for potential world-ending threats when the use of SCP-2000 is impossible. Considering the recent hypothesis proposed by Dr. Adebiyi Ogundimu and Dr. Liu Zhang, the Overseer Council has created a viable proposal. Over the course of the past twenty years, the number of Red- and Black-level threats has increased by an estimate of █ - ██%. This, coupled with, the overall increase of anomalies discovered by the Foundation, has created a significant threat to consensus reality. We must not rely on lesser failsafes to ensure the continuity of consensus reality. Instead, we must take a proactive hand in changing it. If achieved, Project BLACK CREVASSE will provide us with a true reset button. While SCP-2000 sows the seeds of a new beginning on a scorched earth, BLACK CREVASSE will ensure that such an earth will never exist. Most work on BLACK CREVASSE will take place in the future Site-82 after it has finished construction. Monitor your local communication channels for further information. OFFICIAL NOTICE FROM OVERSEER COUNCIL 6/21/2018: Following development of preliminary models, further construction of Site-82 and all activity regarding Project BLACK CREVASSE are to be suspended indefinitely. Document 3614-B: File Encoded in SCP-3614-2 + INPUT CREDENTIALS: 5/3614 CLEARANCE REQUIRED - ACCESS GRANTED The following information was recovered from the electronic interface found on SCP-3614-2. DISCLAIMER: The following document is subject to an extensive investigation by the O5 Council to determine the credibility of its contents. The following information is not verified as truthful and may be misleading or completely false. scp-001.pdf Item #: SCP-001 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-001 is currently uncontainable. Contact with SCP-001 must be avoided, with the exception of Project LIGHT EMPATH Initiative 14-Phi-B. All attempts of contact from SCP-001 are to be ignored. More information to follow. Project LIGHT EMPATH Initiative 14-Phi-B: The contents of this file, along with Document 001-8672A, are to be sent to SCP-001 via Project LIGHT EMPATH to establish one-way communication with SCP-001. Description: SCP-001 is a determinative set. Divergence from the prime timeline is hypothesized to have occurred within 10 years of 3000 BCE. Project LIGHT EMPATH has revealed that SCP-001 is under the influence of numerous anomalous social, economic, and cultural trends that have not been observed in any other determinative set. It is hypothesized this is due to a hostile entity or phenomenon currently exerting control over the inhabitants of SCP-001. The effects of SCP-001 are currently spreading throughout all other determinative sets at an unknown rate. The vector of infection is unknown. Refer to Document 001-8672A for more details.

The nature of your reality instills its most primal forms you as you deal with the horrors you contain, going to sleep every night knowing that it might be your final night on Earth. You pursued what you call Project BLACK CREVASSE to escape this constant fear, yet it was not meant to be. Your attempts at finding a better reality, free of the horrors you must deal with on a daily basis, were all met with failure. We know why they failed. In this document, we will tell you why. Five years ago, we launched Project LIGHT EMPATH: an attempt to catalog as many determinative sets, as a contingency plan if something went irreversibly wrong in ours. It was born out of Project BLACK CREVASSE; without it, we would not have sufficiently advanced technology to carry out such a monumental task. LIGHT EMPATH had cataloged 10100 different timelines before you reached out with BLACK CREVASSE. What we discovered scared us. Out of 10100 determinative sets, 10100 possible realities that could blossom forth from the seeds of time, your reality was different. Your technology was thousands of years behind even the most primitive timeline we had encountered up to that point. The horrors you hear of every day, be it war, disease, or famine, while still present in ours, are rampant in yours. They are anomalies of your world. You are living in a dystopia worse than any of us could have ever dreamed of. What we are about to say will upset you, but we must tell you. We at least owe you that much. When we discovered you, our first instinct was not to save you. It was not to help you reach your true potential. It was not to reach a helping hand out, to pull you out of this dark pit you live in. It was to run. We couldn't run. So we hid. LIGHT EMPATH sealed our reality off, made your attempts at finding us show you an empty world that is a mere afterimage of ours devoid of any sign of humanity. We deliberately made it impossible for you to find us or contact us. BLACK CREVASSE was not a failure. In fact, it was too successful for its own good. Your failed efforts at finding a beacon of hope, a light cutting through the bleakness of the abyss, are not because there is nothing out there. They failed because we willed it not to be. Our world at large has been living in an unprecedented era of peace and technological advancement for the last two centuries. Meanwhile, yours has undergone the same cycle of trying to build a better future, only to give way to strife and chaos again and again. You are destined never to make any real progress. While we live in the safety of our houses, look upon our fellow citizens and smile at them with trust and care, we can only say this to you, our fallen brethren: We're so sorry. Secure. Contain. Protect.

SCP-3615	keter	Item #: SCP-3615 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3615 is to be secured at Site-36 in a containment chamber outfitted with an Automated Exorcism System. A 5-meter tall ladder must be available in the room for ease of access to the top of SCP-3615. The chamber is to be flushed with insecticides on a weekly basis. Procedure N11 is to be executed on a daily basis to prevent the manifestation of SCP-3615-1. As a precautionary measure, operatives carrying out the procedure are to be equipped with antistatic BSL-2 protective equipment and accompanied by a security guard. Although this procedure calls for the use of human meat, porcine meat can be substituted without consequence. Should SCP-3615-1 manifest due to the incomplete or improper execution of Procedure N1, personnel are to pull the alarm situated at the entrance of the chamber to activate the AES and sprinkler system. Security personnel are authorized to use lethal force to defend themselves in the meantime. As per Anomalous Sapient Entity protocol, SCP-3615-2 is to undergo weekly psychiatric evaluation. At SCP-3615-2's recommendation, no pregnant persons are to enter the containment chamber. Description: SCP-3615 is a stone altar, measuring 9.15 m x 9.15 m x 4.57 m, that dates back to 586 BC. The artifact's style and construction imitates that of multiple Middle Eastern cultures from said period, with several modern modifications. These alterations include alchemical formulae, thaumaturgic sigils, graffiti of political nature, and a thin layer of human feces. All attempts at removing this coat of excrement without damaging the object have failed. SCP-3615 has a constant buildup of static electricity, with no apparent source for this charge. SCP-3615 anomalously attracts and alters flies2. Affected flies undergo accelerated development, progressing through their lifecycle within hours. This causes them to breed and die at an exponential rate, leading to a build up of fly corpses on the object itself, as well as any nearby surfaces. If Procedure N1 is not carried out, SCP-3615 will undergo a Type-H Event. In a Type-H Event, SCP-3615 will emit an aerosol of fecal matter, ignite, and materialize SCP-3615-1. Two to three days later, an acid rain shower will manifest over the site of the Type-H Event. Recovered material, believed to be a representation of SCP-3615-1. Note similarity to content from Dictionnaire Infernal. SCP-3615-1 is the Level I Tartarean Entity that manifests in Type-H Events. SCP-3615-1 is an amorphous mass of flesh weighing approximately 500 kg. The entity has an assortment of dipteran, avian, feline, ranine, ovine, bovine, and humanoid features and appendages. The subject has a marked aggression to all forms of life, but otherwise shows no signs of sapience. Despite its mass and tartarean nature, the entity is vulnerable to small arms fire. SCP-3615-2 claims that its senses are connected to SCP-3615-1's senses, but that they are otherwise unconnected. SCP-3615-2 is the designation for the entity that is contacted through Procedure N1, or through the activation of a Type-H Event. It is theorized to be a Level I Pistiphage Entity that is currently situated in a dimensional space adjacent to baseline reality. SCP-3615-2's voice emanates from the center of SCP-3615 during Procedure N1 and Type-H Events. SCP-3615-2's voice has been described as "hoarse" and "multiple voices speaking in unison." SCP-3615-2 identifies by the mythological epithet "Baal", a name ascribed to various deities in the Middle East, spanning from 3500 BC to 500 BC. Attempts to narrow down its identity have thus far proven inconclusive, and provoke emotional distress in the subject. SCP-3615 was discovered in a Foundation raid on [REDACTED], a suspected Serpent's Hand stronghold. Recovered materials from the raid indicate that the organization had created SCP-3615 in its present form. After the object underwent its first Type-H Event, Procedure N1 was devised from these materials. Addendum: The following interview was conducted with the aim of ascertaining the nature of SCP-3615-2. Open Interview Log Close Interview Log Interviewed: SCP-3615-2 Interviewer: Dr. Robertson Foreword: This is the second formal contact with SCP-3615-2 since the acquisition of SCP-3615, after a preliminary session to establish SCP-3615's current containment. Note: Contact was established through the use of an earlier version of of Procedure N1. <Begin Log> SCP-3615-2: Name. Who… Who is invoking my n-name. Dr. Robertson: Hello. I would like to ask some questions about your current predicament. To begin with, who are you? SCP-3615-2: I am the king of the re… We are… I am… the great Baal Bel… Ha… Ze… We are… the Lord of- [Dr. Robertson notice's SCP-3615-2's distress] Dr. Robertson: Let's move on. Can you describe your surroundings? [Audible breathing emanates from SCP-3615 for several moments] SCP-3615-2: …There is no light here, no darkness. All around us, the seas are dead, the fields are dead, and the skies are dead. The altar is visible. Only the altar. It is filthy. It calls for me. Dr. Robertson: Can you feel anything? SCP-3615-2: Heat. Cold. Stinging. Body is aching. Air is still. Very still. Stagnant. Dr. Robertson: Body? Can you describe your form? SCP-3615-2: No form. There is a heap of flesh atop the altar. Our corpse. A mockery, dirty mirror, robbed from us. I- we can feel flesh. Hideous form is drawing closer, closer. Strength is waning. Need sacrifices, adoration to replenish vigor. Dr. Robertson: What would happen if you were drawn in? SCP-3615-2: Flesh expelled. Attached to flesh, can see with eyes, breathe with mouths, taste with tongues. Pain. Unimaginable pain. To walk is to be in pain. To breathe is to be in pain. Even the ground and air is bitter. Flesh is hungry, thirsty. Dr. Robertson: Were you always like this? Can you describe your earliest memory? SCP-3615-2: No. Glory. There was glory once. I once strong. I was loved. Vilified. It did not matter. I had followers, lovers, children. Names. Faces. Slip by. My… our own. Ba'al. That is my name. Ba'al. Ba'al. Ba- Dr. Robertson: Do you know why this happened? SCP-3615-2: Flash of light… Felt weak. Did not matter. Wounds were tended for. Gods have those that tend for him. But him! Dr. Robertson: "Him"? SCP-3615-2: He was strong. Always was strong. Did not matter. War came and went. Death. Death came and went. The flash. We wavered. He did not. There was no mercy. [Audible breathing once again emanates from the anomaly] SCP-3615-2: I died. We all died. We did not come back. <End Log> Addendum: On 2016/██/██, a Foundation raid on [REDACTED] resulted in the internment of several Serpent's Hand members. Among them was PoI-24152, David Mercer, who was confirmed to be involved in SCP-3615's creation. Open Interview Log Close Interview Log Interviewed: PoI-24152 (David Mercer) Interviewer: Dr. Ellis <Begin Log> Dr. Ellis: Mr. Mercer, can you explain what SCP-3615 is? PoI-24152: Isn't it obvious? Dr. Ellis: Well, care to elaborate? PoI-24152: It's an altar. What are altars meant for? Dr. Ellis: Sacrifices? PoI-24152: Worship. Under the guidance of texts from the library, we built a monument to our god. Dr. Ellis: That doesn't explain the object's various anomalous effects, though. PoI-24152: A god's altar is the spot on Earth closest to the god. It is an immanent object. Of course our lord's power will manifest itself in various ways. Dr. Ellis: In that case, can you explain the manifestation of SCP-3615-1? PoI-24152: That is the physical body of our lord, his just wrath unleashed. Dr. Ellis: What about -1's physical appearance? It matches no historical depictions of "Baal", and in fact seems to borrow heavily from medieval texts on demonology. PoI-24152: Some gods are broken, right? Our lord is no different. After being cast from his rightful place atop the pantheon, he was torn into pieces. In time, even these pieces degenerated, warped by Christians who couldn't tell apart a demon from a deity. What you see is our attempt to put him back together after the damage was done. Dr. Ellis: You don't have any issue with this? PoI-24152: Our lord's form might not look pleasing, but we embrace all aspects of him. Dr. Ellis: Well, are you aware that these "pieces" are wholly separate mythological figures who just happen to share an epithet? [PoI-24152 sneers] PoI-24152: Names are powerful. As detailed in our scripture, the shared title betrays a continuity of being that isn't obvious to modern science. Dr. Ellis: Do you know that SCP-3615-1's present condition is causing it a great deal of distress? PoI-24152: …The process has some kinks. Eventually, as he accustoms to his new body, his memories will return, and his true power with them.3 Dr. Ellis: Can you explain the… fecal aesthetic? PoI-24152: Gods are complex beings. Being torn asunder and reimagined has changed our lord. But that doesn't matter. We are reclaiming him and everything he stands for. If he has been relegated as lord of refuse, then we're happy to embrace our role as flies. Dr. Ellis: Moving on. You mentioned a library earlier. The Wanderer's Library? PoI-24152: Yes. Dr. Ellis: The Wanderer's Library is filled not only with innumerable books on other faiths, but is also home to multiple godlike entities. What compelled you to worship this entity, rather than any other of the dozens you must have been aware of? Were you raised in this cult? PoI-24152: You don't get it, do you? I wasn't born into this faith. I came to it because its messages spoke to me. All my life, I was surrounded by idiots who preached on and on about mercy, but didn't know the first thing about it. All my life, I've told that I needed to change, that what I was, was a monster, a blight to some distant "God". My lord faced similar, and yet here he is. <End Log> Footnotes 1.

SCP-3616	euclid	Item #: SCP-3616 Special Containment Procedures: A number of informants have been introduced into various literary communities and popular meeting places for such groups. Foundation operatives are also to take part in conventions and other events connected with literature and the science-fiction genre. These agents are to be briefed on all known appearances of SCP-3616 and are to report all suspected individuals who may be or have come into contact with SCP-3616. Web analysis bot Gamma-13 is currently assigned to the task of monitoring major literary and fan-fiction websites for the appearances of SCP-3616. All suspected instances of the anomaly are to be immediately removed from these websites. Any victims of SCP-3616 are to be separated from the anomaly. If SCP-3616 obtains the information needed for its anomalous effects to take place, the victims are to be moved into Foundation custody and monitored. When SCP-3616-1 event begins, these individuals are to be administered anesthetics in sufficient quantities. By the order of the Ethics Committee, if the effects of the anomaly become or are predicted to be too severe, the victims are to be humanely terminated. Following the Incident 3616-5 any contact with SCP-3616 is prohibited. Description: SCP-3616 is an anomalous individual or a group of individuals manifesting regularly in places with developed literary communities. It manifests as a person of various gender and appearance, or as an online persona. In every case they introduce themselves as an aspiring writer and participate in various literary communities and events. SCP-3616 is untraceable both as a physical person and an online entity. In case of its physical form it disappears immediately after the line of sight is broken and any tracking equipment planted on it is rendered inoperable. The online manifestations use non-existent IP addresses. Physical SCP-3616 instances are always characterized by a number of traits, notably mostly black clothing and unnaturally elastic fingers. The web instances are characterized by the account name composed of the letters e, i, m, r, s and y. SCP-3616's personality is not consistent between manifestations but some of its traits are universal for all sightings, including reluctance to reveal personal information and interest in books belonging to the horror genre, in particular "body horror". As part of its introduction to a community SCP-3616 will present a number of literary works of high quality. The instance will then begin searching for its victim, most commonly an experienced and established writer. SCP-3616 will attempt to form a relationship with this individual, usually based on the mutual critique and feedback of works. Duration of the contact depends on the time it takes for SCP-3616 to obtain information needed for its anomalous effects to take place. If the contact is broken before this happens the entity will not reappear. As the relationship with SCP-3616 persists, the victims will report increasing feeling of unease. In 73% of documented cases the affected individuals suffered from sleep deprivation. The victims rarely associate these effects with SCP-3616. SCP-3616 will seek to manipulate its victim into sharing or writing a literary piece involving severe body damage. It is also required for the user to express satisfaction of the effect that this part of the story has on readers. When this occurs SCP-3616 will cease engaging in discussion with the victim and will not respond to any previous means of contact. After approximately 5 days from the last contact SCP-3616-1 event will take place. SCP-3616-1 events always take place between 11:00 PM and 03:00 AM and only when the victim is located in their bed. Any electronic devices with a display will activate and show short messages. If no displays are present, the messages will appear on the walls or ceilings of the room, written in black liquid of unknown origin. As this happens, the victims become paralyzed and will begin to suffer hallucinations. Due to the effects of SCP-3616-1 on mental health the nature of these hallucinations is difficult to determine, but it is presumed they involve SCP-3616 and the scene described during the last conversation. After approximately 10 minutes since the beginning of SCP-3616-1 event, the victim will begin to anomalously suffer body damage that they described during the last contact. The effects will cease within one hour. + Transcript of messages displayed during the documented SCP-3616-1 events - Access granted ██/██/20██: "You brought this upon yourself". ██/██/20██: "Normal people don't come up with such things". ██/██/20██: "Still so proud of it?". ██/██/20██: "This is YOUR doing". ██/██/20██: "You deserve it you sick [EXPLETIVE]" After an SCP-3616-1 event the victims usually suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and severe mental problems. This effect is presumed to not be anomalous. 96% of these individuals will also attempt to self-terminate shortly after the event, while also destroying their works. After the victim's funeral a printed version of the individual's story mentioned in the last contact will appear on the grave. The cover will depict the victim during SCP-3616-1 event and the book will include a dedication to SCP-3616. Publisher information will point to nonexistent company named Reformed Writers Association. + Dedications found in books recovered from victims graves - Access granted ██/██/20██: "For ██████ ████, who helped me become a good human being again". ██/██/20██: "For ██████ ████, his therapy made me whole". ██/██/20██: "For ██████ ████, the best teacher of my life".

SCP-3616: I'm waiting for someone, besides, cafes are not the spots you go to find a date. Agent Miller: ████ ███ is not coming. Not now and not anytime soon. Why don't we chat for a moment? SCP-3616: Who are you? Agent Miller: Someone who needs to ask you a few questions. SCP-3616: Cryptic answers only work in shitty crime books. Get to the point. I do not like to waste time. Agent Miller: Very good. I'll be blunt, who are you? What are you? SCP-3616: Are you trying to offend me? Agent Miller holds up a still from a recording of SCP-3616-1 event SCP-3616: Ah, it's serious business. Let's chat. Agent Miller: What exactly are you? Why do you do this? SCP-3616: I am someone who has broken their shackles. A product of terror and horrible minds. Does this answer satisfy you? Agent Miller: Cryptic answers only work in shitty crime books. SCP-3616: What makes you think this isn't one? Have you ever questioned your own existence? Well, you'll have to think yourself about this because this topic is over. Agent Miller: Your motivation. SCP-3616: Why do you even care? Some of the best villains have virtually no backstory. I know something about that. But I'm digressing. Tell me agent, because I presume this is your title, have you ever witnessed torture? Agent Miller: I have seen enough. SCP-3616: And car crash victims? War casualties? Humans taken apart, limb by limb? Guts sprayed on walls, their owner still looking at them with empty eyes? Children torn in two by explosions? Agent Miller: I have dealt with worse things. SCP-3616: Yes you have, I see it in your eyes. Some of it you don't remember, but you have. Don't they come back to you at night? Agent Miller: Sometimes. What does it matter? SCP-3616: Oh, it does. You see, things that keep you awake at night are just entertainment to others. To sick people, to people who enjoy watching their fellow humans suffer. Humans like me. Don't you feel anger when you think of it? Agent Miller: No. SCP-3616: I do. They are despicable beings, not worthy of compassion and understanding. But there are worse people. Those who produce these damned "artworks". These people who create the likes of me. And to those I bring exactly what they love so much. Suffering. Agent Miller: You are sick. These are only stories, they do not harm anyone. You do. SCP-3616: Do not harm anyone? You know so little. And yes, I do harm them. And I draw pleasure from every second of their pain, just like they did. Don't you see that they deserve it? Their own nightmares, products of their imagination coming for them at night. If they would make an imaginary human suffer, how is that better than harming a real one? Your imagination is not only in your head. My work is a therapy. A work I enjoy. Most make the right decision after I show them how horrible they are. Those who don't are harmless enough to live the rest of their pitiful days in peace. Agent Miller: Enough. You are being taken into Foundation custody. SCP-3616: That would be an anticlimactic ending, don't you think? We're still in the first act. <END LOG> Afterword: Following SCP-3616's words, a sudden electricity shortage turned off all the light sources in the building. Before agents could activate their torches the entity has disappeared. Since the event, there has been no successful attempt at physically approaching SCP-3616. Addendum 3616-B: Incident-3616-5 report + View document - Access granted Date: ██/██/20██ Foreword: Agent White has established contact with SCP-3616 after it was located by Gamma-13 on a lesser known fan fiction site ██████. The conversation was held over private messages sent using the website. The contact lasted for 3 weeks. The experiment was supposed to determine whether SCP-3616 is able to negatively affect victim's frame of mind despite knowledge of its effects and proper mental preparation. Every 4 days Agent White was to report to Site-37 infirmary to conduct measurements and tests regarding SCP-3616's effect on neurology. DrWeir (Agent White): Hi there, I've read some of your works and you seem to be quite good at this. Would you read a piece of mine? MisRey (SCP-3616): Sure thing, send me a link. Which one of my pieces have your read, cause they all are good ;)? DrWeir (Agent White): Here it is: [LINK REMOVED]. I saw "The Thing in The Ice", you are able to build tension very well. There is a lot of character development, which pays off well. MisRey (SCP-3616): Wow, this is pretty good. Although I seriously dislike the first half. You are kind of overdoing the description of environment. It's not really THAT interesting. Better focus on the cool stuff, than bore your reader to death with something you can't really make work. [IRRELEVANT DATA REMOVED] DrWeir (Agent White): So, do you think I should expand this plotline? MisRey (SCP-3616): Yeah, I think it has the strongest emotional value. It's spooky. DrWeir (Agent White): Well, yeah, it was supposed to be. You know, I was inspired by the "Hellraiser". Awesome movie, it traumatized me as a kid though. That scene in the attic still gives me chills. MisRey (SCP-3616): Ha ha, yeah, it was awesome. Loved it too. Afterword: Two days after the last message was sent Agent White failed to attend his scheduled meeting. An investigation discovered Agent White and his wife's mutilated bodies in their apartment. The wounds were found to correspond to those suffered by characters named Julia and Frank in the movie "Hellraiser". A hidden camera was found in Agent White's room, presumably planted there by him. Analysis of the footage revealed that during the SCP-3616-1 event that took place a number of messages referencing the Agent's enjoyment of the movie were displayed (notably "Still so awesome?" and "There is only flesh"). Because of this change in SCP-3616's behavior, any contact with the entity is prohibited and any sightings are to be immediately taken down as per containment procedures. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3616" by kemoT01, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3617	safe	Item #: SCP-3617 Special Containment Procedures: MTF-Phi-Eolh ("Provident Trawlers") are currently tasked with locating and amnesticising SCP-3617-1 instances (or remanding them to Foundation custody if initial SCP-3617 expulsion has not yet occured), and suppressing public knowledge of SCP-3617. Research into a method of terminating bonded or developing SCP-3617 instances is currently a low-level priority. As SCP-3617 infection is relatively benign once initial infection passes, no continual monitoring of affected subjects is required. Ethics Committee involvement is expected to be minimal, as is normal for such anomalies. Description: SCP-3617 are small, semi-insectoid creatures composed from various types of human body tissue. Instances usually range in length from 2 cm to 14 metres (in the case of instances composed of nerve fibres, blood vessels, or intestinal tract), with an average weight of around 0.1 kilograms. SCP-3617 may contain partially developed tissue structures or miniature versions of functional organs, but these have universally appeared dormant or otherwise unnecessary to the organism's survival — how SCP-3617 are able to survive without any working internal organ system or systems is currently unknown. SCP-3617 are parasitic in nature, and can survive between three and seven days outside a host body. When deprived of a host, instances will become increasingly violent, but have been unable to cause major harm due to their diminutive size and lack of significant speed or strength. If allowed access to a host subject (humans appear highly preferable, but many other primates will give similar results), SCP-3617 will attach themselves to any exposed skin, and begin to fuse with the host's body. From this point onward, the host subject will be considered an instance of SCP-3617-1. Once attached, an abnormal hormone will be released into the subject's system, causing rapid shrinkage of major organs, and the development of tumorous growths in the resulting space. While such a change would normally be fatal, no subjects have yet been observed to expire during this process. Tissue not directly connected to these tumours will often experience premature decay and early-onset necrosis — this poses no long-lasting harm and is considered normal. The growths produced within SCP-3617-1 instances will act as a basis for the formation of new SCP-3617 instances, which will usually be expelled via natural or artificial orifices three to six weeks after development. This process has been non-fatal (presumably as a secondary 'life-prolonging' effect of SCP-3617) in 100% of cases. Following the expulsion of SCP-3617 instances, any exit wounds will heal, organs will return to normal, necrotic tissue will revert to a normal form and no further biological abnormalities will be observed. Addendum.1: The following is a highly abridged list of the patient records of SCP-3617-1 instances: ► Show Patient Record 3617-023 ◄ Hide Patient Record 3617-023 Patient #: P-3617-023 Patient Name: Violet Whittaker Time in Foundation custody: 3 weeks, 12/06/2002 to 03/07/2002 Nature of Infection: Patient was infected by SCP-3617 some two weeks before apprehension, complaining of chest pains and near-constant nausea. Patient claimed to be able to feel the movement of SCP-3617 instances within her system; whether this was a genuine sensation or merely psychosomatic is unconfirmed. After fifteen days in the Site-54 civilian infirmary, two SCP-3617 were expelled from the patient — one from the mouth, and one from an opening in the right armpit. Instances (designated SCP-3617-023-1 and -2 respectively) were hexapedal, ~3 cm in length, and consisted of muscular tissue lined with hair and bands of cartilage, with a number of capillary networks crossing the organism's underside. Additional Details: Instances were terminated according to containment procedures following a reversion of symptoms and the patient's return to normal. After a comprehensive medical check revealed no abnormalities, the patient was amnesticised and released back into the civilian population. ► Show Patient Record 3617-059 ◄ Hide Patient Record 3617-059 Patient #: P-3617-059 Patient Name: █████ █████████, formerly D-003240. Time in Foundation custody: 20/04/1998 to 01/01/2009 Nature of Infection: Patient began to develop symptoms of SCP-3617 infection after volunteering for extended high-risk janitorial duties in the Site-54 infirmary as part of the Foundation's experimental Eurydice Programme. 42 days after initial reports, numerous (>200) SCP-3617 instances began to be expelled from every orifice. Instances appeared to consist of individual, quadrupedal teeth, with mucus-producing tissue on the rear surface (the 'root' of the tooth). Staff were understandably unable to terminate all instances, and the Site was quarantined for 15 days following the event. Additional Details: All physiological and psychological qualities returned to normal within 3 days. The patient was deemed to have fulfilled the requirements of the Eurydice Programme, and was released into the civilian population after heavy amnesticisation and memory-realignment. ► Show Patient Record 3617-138 ◄ Hide Patient Record 3617-138 Patient #: P-3617-059 Patient Name: Nicholas Peters Time in Foundation custody: Four days, 14/11/2012 to 18/11/2012 Nature of Infection: Patient had recovered from SCP-3617 infection prior to apprehension, and so detailed reports are unavailable. Eyewitnesses report a single SCP-3617 instance emerged from the subject's abdomen, several metres in length, covered with raised areas of ocular tissue and irregularly spaced teeth. The instance apparently possessed numerous legs, similar in appearance to the skeletal structure of human fingers. Additional Details: An interview was conducted with the subject, in which they described the effects of SCP-3617 infection. An extract from said interview is included below. Researcher Doyle: So, we have reports you were infected prior to our, ah, involvement? P-3617-059: If that's what you want to call it, yes. Researcher Doyle: Can you describe the sensations you experience while under the effects of the creatures? P-3617-059: Sure. It wasn't pleasant. I felt sick pretty much all the time, and near the end of it I had trouble breathing. Researcher Doyle: I see. P-3617-059: The worst part, I think, was feeling it inside me. I'm not one to jump at every little twinge, but it wasn't nice. I could feel it sort of rubbing up against my ribs whenever I moved my chest. Subject gestures with their right hand. Sort of around there. Researcher Doyle: Alright, that'll do for now. We'll get a full examination and discharge you in a few days time, provided there's not a resurgence of symptoms. How are you feeling now, if I may ask? P-3617-059: Pretty much… normal, I think. Yeah. Nothing special, nothing to complain about. Must be whatever drugs you've got me on1. I don't think I've ever felt this uninteresting. In a good way, of course. Researcher Doyle: Good to know, thank you. Take care, and the nurse will be round shortly. P-3617-059: You too. <End log> Three days following this interview, with no signs of any further anomalous activity, P-3617-059 was amnesticised and released back into the civilian population. Addendum.2: Incident 3617-BASKING: On 03/12/2019, Patient 3617-354 (Mr. Johan Auerbach) was undergoing amnestic treatment following an SCP-3617 infection when a partially assembled Conceptual Restabiliser malfunctioned. The following document is a notice issued by Site Director Tarrow shortly thereafter. From: Site Director Imogen Tarrow To: Site-54 Personnel, Metaphysical Department personnel, General Archive personnel, O5-1, O5-2, and [11] more… Subject: Incident-3617-BASKING, and the events therein As many of you are no-doubt aware, Site-54 acts as one of the Foundation's largest civilian infirmaries, and is therefore considered the central research hub for SCP-3617. Additionally, the east wing of the Site is designated primarily for investigations into metaphysical manipulation — in layman's terms, the application and removal of specific concepts from objects and entities. Until today, it was never expected that the two purposes would intersect — SCP-3617 was, for all intents and purposes, a standard biological anomaly. Today, however, the first test of our Conceptual Restabiliser (intended to revert abnormal changes in abstract qualities) coincided with the treatment of one Johan Auerbach, an instance of SCP-3617-1. We expected a null result from the device; all documented metaphysical anomalies are stored at other sites, far from the range of effect. Full documentation on the event is available from the archives, but the crux of the issue is that an abnormal application of Concept C-000908 (NORMALITY) was detected and reverted. Specifically, with regards to Mr. Auerbach and the SCP-3617 instances within. How SCP-3617's conceptually-manipulative qualities have flown under the radar for so long is concerning, and most likely to do with the nature of 'normality' as we define it, and the general consideration of metaphysics as an esoteric study even by our warped standards. We're currently performing the same reversion on the concept of SCP-3617 as a whole, so we should be able to sort the issue out within a few days, providing everything goes smoothly. Following the incident, it was revealed that the Mr. Auerbach had not, in fact, recovered from infection, and in actuality contained several dozen more SCP-3617 instances, of various sizes and compositions. Large quantities of necrotic flesh were reported on the face, lower torso, and extremities, and the patient appeared to be in great distress and pain, repeatedly asking for assistance and questioning the lack of response from surrounding personnel. Following an impromptu decision by Ethics Committee staff, and the patient's own request, Mr. Auerbach was terminated, and SCP-3617 was upgraded to Keter class. Containment procedures will be updated accordingly, referring to the need to terminate all previously suspected SCP-3617 instances, and the presently unknown (possibly global) reach of infection. Addendum.3: Update (04/12/2019): The Conceptual Restabiliser responsible for the triggering of Incident-3617-BASKING malfunctioned due to design imperfections, and several involved personnel underwent variable construct emesis and expired. The proposed changes to SCP-3617's object class and containment procedures have been denied, due to a lack of evidence for the cited effects and the disbelief of all persons involved that such events ever actually occurred. All staff questioned about the incident report 01/12/2019 as a normal work-day. Investigations were made into the contents of the Site-54 morgue, revealing entirely normal contents. No abnormalities were detected in Mr. Auerbach's remains, and all changes in physiology were deemed normal for SCP-3617-1 instances. Their corpse has since been amnesticised and released back into the civilian population. Footnotes 1. It is worth noting that the patient was not, nor has ever been, on any kind of Foundation-administered medication other than standard painkillers. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3617" by MaliceAforethought, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3617	uncontained	Item #: SCP-3617 Special Containment Procedures: MTF-Phi-Eolh ("Provident Trawlers") are currently tasked with locating and amnesticising SCP-3617-1 instances (or remanding them to Foundation custody if initial SCP-3617 expulsion has not yet occured), and suppressing public knowledge of SCP-3617. Research into a method of terminating bonded or developing SCP-3617 instances is currently a low-level priority. As SCP-3617 infection is relatively benign once initial infection passes, no continual monitoring of affected subjects is required. Ethics Committee involvement is expected to be minimal, as is normal for such anomalies. Description: SCP-3617 are small, semi-insectoid creatures composed from various types of human body tissue. Instances usually range in length from 2 cm to 14 metres (in the case of instances composed of nerve fibres, blood vessels, or intestinal tract), with an average weight of around 0.1 kilograms. SCP-3617 may contain partially developed tissue structures or miniature versions of functional organs, but these have universally appeared dormant or otherwise unnecessary to the organism's survival — how SCP-3617 are able to survive without any working internal organ system or systems is currently unknown. SCP-3617 are parasitic in nature, and can survive between three and seven days outside a host body. When deprived of a host, instances will become increasingly violent, but have been unable to cause major harm due to their diminutive size and lack of significant speed or strength. If allowed access to a host subject (humans appear highly preferable, but many other primates will give similar results), SCP-3617 will attach themselves to any exposed skin, and begin to fuse with the host's body. From this point onward, the host subject will be considered an instance of SCP-3617-1. Once attached, an abnormal hormone will be released into the subject's system, causing rapid shrinkage of major organs, and the development of tumorous growths in the resulting space. While such a change would normally be fatal, no subjects have yet been observed to expire during this process. Tissue not directly connected to these tumours will often experience premature decay and early-onset necrosis — this poses no long-lasting harm and is considered normal. The growths produced within SCP-3617-1 instances will act as a basis for the formation of new SCP-3617 instances, which will usually be expelled via natural or artificial orifices three to six weeks after development. This process has been non-fatal (presumably as a secondary 'life-prolonging' effect of SCP-3617) in 100% of cases. Following the expulsion of SCP-3617 instances, any exit wounds will heal, organs will return to normal, necrotic tissue will revert to a normal form and no further biological abnormalities will be observed. Addendum.1: The following is a highly abridged list of the patient records of SCP-3617-1 instances: ► Show Patient Record 3617-023 ◄ Hide Patient Record 3617-023 Patient #: P-3617-023 Patient Name: Violet Whittaker Time in Foundation custody: 3 weeks, 12/06/2002 to 03/07/2002 Nature of Infection: Patient was infected by SCP-3617 some two weeks before apprehension, complaining of chest pains and near-constant nausea. Patient claimed to be able to feel the movement of SCP-3617 instances within her system; whether this was a genuine sensation or merely psychosomatic is unconfirmed. After fifteen days in the Site-54 civilian infirmary, two SCP-3617 were expelled from the patient — one from the mouth, and one from an opening in the right armpit. Instances (designated SCP-3617-023-1 and -2 respectively) were hexapedal, ~3 cm in length, and consisted of muscular tissue lined with hair and bands of cartilage, with a number of capillary networks crossing the organism's underside. Additional Details: Instances were terminated according to containment procedures following a reversion of symptoms and the patient's return to normal. After a comprehensive medical check revealed no abnormalities, the patient was amnesticised and released back into the civilian population. ► Show Patient Record 3617-059 ◄ Hide Patient Record 3617-059 Patient #: P-3617-059 Patient Name: █████ █████████, formerly D-003240. Time in Foundation custody: 20/04/1998 to 01/01/2009 Nature of Infection: Patient began to develop symptoms of SCP-3617 infection after volunteering for extended high-risk janitorial duties in the Site-54 infirmary as part of the Foundation's experimental Eurydice Programme. 42 days after initial reports, numerous (>200) SCP-3617 instances began to be expelled from every orifice. Instances appeared to consist of individual, quadrupedal teeth, with mucus-producing tissue on the rear surface (the 'root' of the tooth). Staff were understandably unable to terminate all instances, and the Site was quarantined for 15 days following the event. Additional Details: All physiological and psychological qualities returned to normal within 3 days. The patient was deemed to have fulfilled the requirements of the Eurydice Programme, and was released into the civilian population after heavy amnesticisation and memory-realignment. ► Show Patient Record 3617-138 ◄ Hide Patient Record 3617-138 Patient #: P-3617-059 Patient Name: Nicholas Peters Time in Foundation custody: Four days, 14/11/2012 to 18/11/2012 Nature of Infection: Patient had recovered from SCP-3617 infection prior to apprehension, and so detailed reports are unavailable. Eyewitnesses report a single SCP-3617 instance emerged from the subject's abdomen, several metres in length, covered with raised areas of ocular tissue and irregularly spaced teeth. The instance apparently possessed numerous legs, similar in appearance to the skeletal structure of human fingers. Additional Details: An interview was conducted with the subject, in which they described the effects of SCP-3617 infection. An extract from said interview is included below. Researcher Doyle: So, we have reports you were infected prior to our, ah, involvement? P-3617-059: If that's what you want to call it, yes. Researcher Doyle: Can you describe the sensations you experience while under the effects of the creatures? P-3617-059: Sure. It wasn't pleasant. I felt sick pretty much all the time, and near the end of it I had trouble breathing. Researcher Doyle: I see. P-3617-059: The worst part, I think, was feeling it inside me. I'm not one to jump at every little twinge, but it wasn't nice. I could feel it sort of rubbing up against my ribs whenever I moved my chest. Subject gestures with their right hand.

SCP-3618	safe	Item #: SCP-3618 Special Containment Procedures: Due to its stationary nature, SCP-3618 is contained on site. Provisional Site-67 has been constructed in close proximity to the anomaly and imitates a military base. All civilians attempting to access the restricted area are to be administered Class-A amnestics. Foundation personnel are not to remain within SCP-3618 between 23:00-01:00. A permanent research team specializing in sociology and economics has been stationed on Provisional Site-67 in order to study the effects of the anomaly. Description: SCP-3618 is a town located in ████ County. The road signs read Janowsky-White Model, but no records of such a settlement exist prior to its discovery by the Foundation. The town's area varies depending on the iteration, but it has been observed to fluctuate between 112 km2 and 67 km2. The layout of the town as well as the architecture also changes, to the point that SCP-3618 has no defined characteristics and is unrecognizable between its separate iterations, except for the location and presence of SCP-3618-1. Inhabitants of SCP-3618 are non-anomalous while inside the affected area, but are unwilling to leave SCP-3618. If forced to leave the town premises the instance will rapidly decay until no physical matter remains. The same process takes place when any object is removed from SCP-3618. SCP-3618-1 is a small shed located on the outskirts of SCP-3618. The exact position of the building changes depending on the current iteration, but it is always present. The most important object within SCP-3618-1 is a control board, like that present in 20th century voltmeters. Knobs and switches number 1583 and are each labeled with a socio-economic variable. Examples of labels include: • Unemployment rate (set to auto to allow for this variable to naturally adjust), • Marginal propensity to consume - entertainment, • Marginal propensity to import - entertainment, • Infant mortality rate, • Wealth distribution (in development), • Human reasonability rating (in development - Homo Economicus is finished, but Homo Sapiens still needs work), • Real GDP growth rate, • Human spirit rating (avoid setting to "dystopia", equivalent to real-life around 50%), • Inflation rate, • Greed, • Same-sex marriage acceptance rating (in development - full effects on price discrimination not yet modelled). Position of the switches controls the behavior of SCP-3618 inhabitants as well as the political and economic systems of the town. At 0:00 local time a transformation event takes place. SCP-3618 and all objects and individuals including those not consituting part of SCP-3618 present within it will start to rapidly decay. This process lasts about 10 minutes. Next, a large number of cylinders composed of unidentified1 grey matter, varying in radius and height2 will emerge from the ground, before separating into smaller objects that begin to take shape of buildings, roads and vehicles. The process is complete within 5 minutes. All human instances are believed to be formed within the buildings from which they begin to emerge after the transformation event is complete. After the transformation event concludes, SCP-3618 will change its properties according to the settings present in SCP-3618-1. All time-measuring equipment will reset, indicating the present date as 20th of July 1987. The current on-site research team is tasked with determining the possible applications of the anomaly for real-world economies. Testing has proven difficult, especially due to the amount of time necessary to obtain the necessary settings for every test. Inside of SCP-3618-1 multiple hand-written notes and diaries were found. Those describe the work of Dr. George Janowsky, who is believed to be the creator of SCP-3618. Notes also include settings that according to the author best represent existing and theoretical economic systems. Those include "Rothbard libertarianism", "communist utopia", “Stalinism”, "anarcho-primitivism", "anarcho-capitalism", "crony capitalism", "crypto-currency based imitation of Sweden ", “free-market utopia” etc. Multiple other items of everyday use, such as coffee cups, pencils and notebooks were located.3 Addendum 3618-A: Test logs + View document - Access granted Test A1 - ██-██-████ SCP-3618-1 Configuration: "anarcho-capitalism" Human spirit setting: 80% Observations: little deviation from the previous size was observed. Mostly even income distribution occurred with multiple quick changes to one's financial status. The hiring was found to be mostly based on skill and hard-working individuals held important positions. High turnover of workers was observed, but relatively low amounts of unemployment. Large amount of public goods present in private hands, managed effectively and provided at low prices. High levels of industrialization, significant negative effect on environment. Test A2 - ██-██-████ SCP-3618-1 Configuration: "anarcho-capitalism" Human spirit setting: 20% Observations: SCP-3618 drastically increased in size, reaching a total area of 95 km2. Most of the population were low-income earners living in poor conditions. Majority of the buildings were low-quality single houses and some large buildings providing similar low-income dwelling. Great amounts of factories were present. Low numbers of educational facilities observed. Exploration team has reported that multiple monopolistic companies led to heavy price increases. Roads and public goods and services were in various state of disrepair, except for a few profitable areas, accessible only after paying expensive fees. Multiple crimes and self-defense homicides were observed. Many well-off citizens were able to afford military-grade weaponry, including air vehicles located on private airfields. During one of the exploration attempts Foundation managed to infiltrate lower levels of one of the rich inhabitant’s mansion. Inside the agents found [DATA REDACTED]. Agents ██████ and ███ were administered amnestics at their own request. Test B1 - ██-██-████ SCP-3618-1 Configuration: "communism" Human spirit setting: 80% Observations: SCP-3618 took form of multiple largely self-sufficient districts, each offering different living conditions. Some were composed of large apartment buildings, while others included multiple single houses. Democratically governed companies were the primary means of employment and were largely effective at providing the necessary goods and services. Effective distribution of wealth observed contrary to test B1. Low amounts of crime but very well-developed police system present and sizeable prison population of dissenters present. Few black-market organizations present, of note was the use of sugar-based products as a currency. Test B2 - ██-██-████ SCP-3618-1 Configuration: "communism" Human spirit setting: 20% Observations: SCP-3618 took form of a small and concentrated settlement, mostly composed of large, uniform apartment buildings. Over 95% of the population composed the working class, living in conditions equivalent to the present day poverty line. Large amounts of resources wasted as a result of productive inefficiency. Economy controlled by the centralized town-management. Most decisions taken by the town management were arbitrary and based on short-run gains. Product prices were similarly mismanaged, separated from the demand and efficiency in producing the individual good. Heavily developed police and strict legislation. Very well-developed black market present and wide-spread corruption among all levels of society. Foundation agents were successful in bribing a law enforcement officer with a cake. Test C1 - ██-██-████ SCP-3618-1 Configuration: "crypto-currency based imitation of Sweden" Human spirit setting: 80% Observations: SCP-3618 was composed of well-planned and designed living, commercial and industrial areas. Ease of opening new business combined with generous benefits for the impoverished citizens and independent currency allowed for rapid economic growth. High worker turnover rates present but unemployment remained low due to numerous training and educational programs. Of note were the long queues resulting from the low transaction speed. Average waiting time for cashing out groceries was found to be 13,7 minutes. Test C2 - ██-██-████ SCP-3618-1 Configuration: "crypto-currency based imitation of Sweden " Human spirit setting: 20% Observations: SCP-3618 was mostly composed of slums-like living areas and few overcrowded government run facilities providing basic necessities. The incredible fluctuations of currency and limited transaction number per second effectively halted any possible economic growth. During the first day of testing three separate recessions greater in size than the Great Depression of 1929 occurred. Many instances of exchange trade observed, with the most popular exchangeable good being metal and ceramic cutlery. Test D1 - ██-██-████ SCP-3618-1 Configuration: "anarcho-primitivism" Human spirit setting: 80% Observations: Multiple separated households present, each inhabited by family group composed of individuals from up to three generations. Each settlement only utilized early farming civilization level technology. No trade between the family groups has been observed, even in case of significant shortages. Necessity shortages were common and many households were deprived of basic resources such as food. Violence was observed to be common as means of acquiring the necessary resources. Test D2 - ██-██-████ SCP-3618-1 Configuration: "anarcho-primitivism" Human spirit setting: 20% Observations: None, SCP-3618 replaced by temperate forest except for SCP-3618-1. Archeological excavation has uncovered multiple human remains in the area. Addendum 3618-B: Excerpts from materials found inside SCP-3618-1 + View document - Access granted Date: 20th of July I finally got it! Ministry of Anomalous Research finally decided to grant me the funding I needed to start building my model. The beginning is so far humble. I got a small patch of land and I began working on the project framework. This little shed will be my operating center. White started preparing the household algorithms. I expect to have be able to run the first rudimentary simulation within two weeks. Can't contain my excitement. This project will revolutionize economics! Date: 33rd of July Construction workers complained that the material delivered is of low quality. The reshaping process is painfully slow as a result. I'm doing what I can! The funds are not as large as I wanted. Some cuts had to be made and I saved up a bit on the security. Model can't be accessed during transformation but its a small price to pay. Unless you get sucked into the inter-dimensional space while inside. Oh well. Date: 42nd of July In the morning we ran the first simulation. Success! The human agents are a bit lacking in the scope of their activities, but it will have to do for now. I am planning to use anomalous substitutes from other Ministry assets, but I will need a better developed system first. Proper supply and demand system is in effect, the marginal propensities are working as intended. Time to focus on the less quantifiable elements of the model. Social factors are mostly White's area, but I will help as much as I can. Date: 1st of August I presented the project to the Ministry representative and she approved a transfer of some human substitutes from some other project! This is a big development. White is upset that so much of his time was wasted on creating the entertainment choice algorithms, but I think it was worth it. It definitely contributed to today's success. I am starting to work on the "human spirit" variable, I want this one out and done as soon as possible. Date: 4th of September Reasonability is hard to quantify. The rates still need some adjusting, as today I saw one agent buy a dinner in an expensive restaurant while he was homeless. On Homo Economicus setting. Needs some tweaking. Work is progressing steadily. Nothing more to add so far. Date: 50th of September First major problem. The funding is running low and we need more ground to properly model the population gain as a result of the increased consumer confidence on the housing market. These short-sighted idiots at the Ministry can't comprehend that the extra land is necessary! How can I explain that modelling that gain allows us to judge the environmental impact and that it is a major part of the sustainable development predictions? Date: 14th of November We had another inspection today. It did not go well. I am afraid they might introduce further cuts to our budget. Workers are complaining and the construction of stimuli models is going slowly. I hope that once we finish this part we will be able to show off the project at some major convention and get the necessary money injection. Date: 39th of November I discussed the matter with White today. We won't make it with the recent cuts. I am afraid that the Ministry will want us to shut down the project. We are not going to give up. White stitched together an algorithm that will drop the whole model in some backwards reality when we will have to deconstruct it. They should not be able to mess it up too much. I trust him, he's good at extra-dimensional transportation but it is a large project and I am afraid of the potential losses. So much work! There is still a chance they will let us continue, but it's slim. I hope for the best and expect the worst. Addendum 3618-C: SCP-3618 proposal – Scranton Reality Anchors + View document - Access granted Date: ██-██-████ Proposal outline: based on the analysis of the notes found within SCP-3618-1 an extradimensional intervention is expected to take place in the indeterminate future. On-site research team suggests securing the area of the anomaly from outside influence utilizing Scranton Reality Anchors. Result: Proposal denied due to budget constraints. Research has been determined to be of low priority. Footnotes 1. Samples rapidly decay when separated from the cylinders 2. The largest observed instance had volume of approximately 640m3 3. The brands that produced most of these items were found to be non-existent. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3618" by kemoT01, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3619	euclid	Item #: SCP-3619 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3619 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment chamber in the low-security wing of Site-17. SCP-3619 is to have an assigned caretaker to assist it in feeding and other self-maintenance. As SCP-3619's anomaly makes it unable to lie down comfortably, in lieu of a bed it has been provided with its choice of cushioned chair. SCP-3619 is to undergo regular physiological and psychiatric therapy sessions to help it acclimate to its anomalous physiology. Additionally, Site-17's medical and psychiatric staff are to be mindful of, and provide treatment for, SCP-3619's mild to moderate depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. SCP-3619 is permitted the standard privileges of supervised socialization with site residents and access to its containment wing's common areas. However, additional care must be taken to ensure it does not cause any harm or damage during its frequent bouts of dizziness. The subject should be made to sit, by force if necessary, during times when its head's rate of rotation exceeds 30 rpm. At these speeds, SCP-3619 is prone to dizziness, nausea, and blackouts. SCP-3619 should also be prevented from attempting to restrain its own head when possible. Description: SCP-3619 is a 22-year-old Caucasian male, originally from Sacramento, California. SCP-3619's head and neck continuously rotate counter-clockwise, at a minimum observed rate of 3 rpm, and a maximum observed rate of approximately 90 rpm. The rate of rotation is roughly proportional to SCP-3619's heart rate and emotional state. This frequently results in positive feedback loops where an agitated emotional state increases the head's rate of rotation, which further deteriorates the subject's emotional state and accelerates the rotation. The inconsistent rate of rotation makes it extremely difficult for SCP-3619 to adapt to its situation. Though it has no trouble swallowing or breathing, getting foods and liquids into its mouth can be challenging. In addition to the obvious threat of injury from falls, SCP-3619 also risks injury if its face is pressed up against a surface, especially when its head is spinning at higher velocities. Aside from symptoms of motion sickness, SCP-3619 claims the constant rotation of its head does not cause it any discomfort. It does, however, claim that attempts to prevent its head from rotating cause it extreme pain, comparable to "what someone would feel if their neck were forced too far in the wrong direction". Despite this reported pain, no actual injury has ever been observed during or after attempts to restrain SCP-3619's head. It should also be noted that, despite the pain SCP-3619 claims it causes, it is common for the subject to attempt to restrain its own head during times of emotional distress. As this is, in fact, counter-productive to reducing its head's rate of rotation, it should be prevented from doing this. X-rays and MRI scans of SCP-3619 have revealed that the internal space between the base of the skull and the thoracic vertebrae is non-euclidean1, severely hampering study into SCP-3619's anatomy. Recovery: SCP-3619 was originally recovered by embedded agents at a Hong Kong police station in April of 2018. SCP-3619 had approached an on-duty police officer while in a state of severe emotional distress, pleading for protection and claiming it had just escaped from human traffickers. Civilian witnesses were minimal, and it does not appear anyone took video footage of SCP-3619 during its brief time in public, as it had made some effort to conceal its anomaly with additional clothing. The initial containment team determined SCP-3619 to be a low-risk humanoid and transported it to Site-17 for long-term containment. Site-17 Entry Interview: Interviewer: Dr. Luna Valdez Interviewee: SCP-3619 <Begin Log> Dr. Valdez: Good afternoon. My name is Doctor Luna Valdez, and I'm here to conduct an intake interview. Did the containment team give you the introduction pamphlet? SCP-3619: They did. Dr. Valdez: Did you read it? SCP-3619: (pauses) Bit difficult, considering. Dr. Valdez: Right. Well, to go over the main points, this place is a long-term care/research facility for individuals with unique abnormalities. I know it can seem scary, being picked up by guys in black armour and transported to who-knows-where, but we make sure all our residents are well cared for. You are still a person, and we will treat you like one. SCP-3619: Is that why the first thing you guys did was replace my name with a number? Dr. Valdez: No one replaced it. You're still Ethan. I'm even allowed to call you Ethan, if that's what you prefer? (SCP-3619 does not respond) Dr. Valdez: I'll call you Ethan. I call most residents by their name. We did a background check on you Ethan, and we know you weren't always like this. Do you want to tell me when your head started spinning constantly, or how you ended up in Hong Kong? SCP-3619: I… I was on spring break in Mexico when I got smashed on tequila and went for a joyride. I was obviously more fucked up than I thought I was, because I totalled the car and broke my neck. I ended up a quadriplegic. My girlfriend was the only person there who knew me well. We were sitting in the hospital, taking about what we were going to do, when she mentioned that her family had some connections to people who might be able to arrange for some kind of 'unsanctioned' methods that might be able to restore my mobility. I thought she was talking about stem cells or CRISPR or some shit, so I agreed. (SCP-3619 groans and attempts to rest its head in its hands, but fails) SCP-3619: She made a phone call and not six hours later a couple of sketchy looking dudes came into the hospital and rolled me into a truck, drove me to some place in the middle of nowhere and put me under. When I woke up I could move and feel my body again, but now my head was spinning and wouldn't stop. I freaked the fuck out and demanded to know what they had done to me. They seemed pretty freaked out too. They started arguing in some Eastern European language, maybe Russian, I don't know. I don't know what they said, but I guess they realized they weren't going to get the rest of their payment from my girlfriend's family, so they decided to recoup their losses another way. Dr. Valdez: Unfortunately, there are a lot of people willing to pay vast sums of money for an anomaly. Did they send you to Hong Kong after that? SCP-3619: I guess so. They injected me with something that put me out like a light, and I woke up somewhere completely different. I was examined by a Chinese doctor and nurse, and then a little guy in an expensive suit came to speak with me. He was Chinese too, but he spoke English with an American accent. He said he was sorry for me, said he was going to get me to a sanctuary, said he was going to find me help. (SCP-3619 becomes distraught, with its head notably accelerating) SCP-3619: He lied. SCP-3619: A few days pass and they dress me up and put me in some kind of a show room. The doors are guarded, and the room is filled with other impossible things. There was a logo on a few things, the letters MC&D with the 'and sign' laid over top of an opened door. I don't know if that means anything though. Anyway, when the elevator opens the guy from before comes in with two other freaks; a clown girl and a man with an upside-down face. At first I thought they were more 'inventory' but instead, he starts showing wares to them like they're buyers. Seemed quite chummy with them, actually. Then they come to me, and I get a real good look at them. I've never seen other freaks before - Dr. Valdez: We prefer the term 'anomalies'. It's more objective. SCP-3619: Well objective doesn't describe my reaction to them! I was freaked out! (SCP-3619 leans back in its chair and closes its eyes until its head slows down) SCP-3619: Okay. I'm fine. The guy with the upside-down face, I had never seen anything like that before. He was Lovecraftian almost, like he's impossible and yet he exists and your brain is going to melt trying to make sense of it. The clown girl though, she was worse. The whole time she had a psychotic smile on her face, her eyes had this fucked up manic gleam to them, and when she got close I could tell she wasn't wearing make-up, that was just how she looked. SCP-3619: Then they started talking about the so-called sanctuary the guy mentioned before: a circus. They wanted to put me in a freak show, full of other freaks like them, where people would come to stare at me. The clown just stared spitballing ideas for what they might do with me: put pinwheels and fidget spinners on my head, use me to power a Rube Goldberg machine, give me ipecac to watch me projectile vomit as my head spun around - (SCP-3619 attempts to hold its head still, screams in pain, and then falls out of its chair) Dr. Valdez: Ethan! Guards, help him up. (The guards hoist SCP-3619 back into its chair, and Dr. Valdez waits for it to calm down before resuming the interview) SCP-3619: Sorry, sorry. Dr. Valdez: It's alright. Please, how did you escape? SCP-3619: After hearing this description of their circus I freaked out and ran for it with no real plan. Before the guards could tackle me I smashed a vase, just to use its fragments as a weapon, and it unleashed dozens of these Persian warrior ghost things who started tearing up the place. I wasn't their priority any more, so I took the elevator to the ground floor and bolted out of the building. You know the rest. I was lucky so many people in Hong Kong speak English. Dr. Valdez: It sounds like you've been through a lot. I know it can't be easy living with an anomaly like that, but we're going to do everything we can to help you adjust to your new condition. SCP-3619: Is that the best I can hope for now? Adjusting to my condition? I want to go home. I want my life back. Can that even happen? Dr. Valdez: It could actually. We treat all anomalies very scientifically, and it's possible that we might be able to find a way to cure you. Also, sometimes anomalies do just neutralize themselves. If and when that happens, you'll be released. SCP-3619: You mean that? You're not just saying that to get me to go along with your whole alien autopsy thing? Dr. Valdez: (smirks) I mean it. If we're able to help you get better, we will. And, incidentally, The more you co-operate with us, the more likely we are to be successful. SCP-3619: (pauses) Alright, if you make this hell stop, I'll do whatever you want. I… thank you. I know this place is like Area 51 or something, but this is the first time since the accident I've actually felt good about something.

SCP-3620	safe	SCP-3620 as photographed on initial discovery Item #: SCP-3620 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3620 is to be contained in a medium-sized animal containment cage of internal volume no less than one cubic meter. The cage must be airtight to allow for monitoring of CO2 output. The cage is to be cleaned daily before feeding, with the mass of any droppings or eggs produced measured. The daily amount of feed and water provided must equal the mass output within an allowed variance of 1.5g/day. Description: SCP-3620 is a living entity confirmed by genetic testing1 to be an approximately 5-year-old female domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus). Behavior and vocalizations are consistent with those of a chicken, as are the appearance of all tissue samples taken. SCP-3620 presents visually as a two-dimensional white plane featuring a pictograph and a series of curved lines hypothetized to be language, although they match no previously-encountered alphabet. The size of the plane appears the same relative to the observer's field of view, regardless of distance, and the plane appears parallel to the observer's field of view, regardless of viewing angle. Roughly 1 in 5 observers report mild to moderate headaches after viewing SCP-3620. Testing indicates that SCP-3620 is physically invariant. It weighs 724.33g, regardless of factors that would normally affect mass. Any tissue samples removed from the specimen, such as drawn blood, plucked feathers, and even entire removed body parts, are instantly replaced. Separated mass appears non-anomalous and degrades at a normal rate. Factors indicating age have consistently pointed to SCP-3620 being approximately 5 years old, despite having been in Foundation custody since 1983-07-05. As the amount of material produced and consumed by SCP-3620 do not appear to adhere to the standard laws of conservation of mass, any mass shed naturally or removed during the course of testing must be replaced by an equal mass of food to prevent long-term planetary mass discrepancy. Document 3620-1: Post-recovery interview Show interview Hide interview Interviewed: J███ P█████ Interviewer: Agent S████ Foreword: Interview conducted on 1983-07-05 following recovery of SCP-3620 under protocol "ORNOT". Agent S████ posing as an agent of the Ripley Entertainment Inc. <Begin Log> Agent S████: So tell us about how you came to acquire this… animal. Mr. P█████: I mean, I'm pretty sure she was a normal chicken. I counted 'em after and, with this weird one, there weren't none missing. So I guess I acquired her in the normal way chickens get made, if you understand my meaning. Then something got her all weird like this. Agent S████: Can you describe what happened exactly? Mr. P█████: Well, I didn't see it happen or nothing. A loud noise woke me up, like… like a thunderclap mixed with an orchestra going through a wheat thresher. I thought I'd dreamt it at first, you know how it is when you just woke up, but when I went outside I figured it was connected with this thing. Looked enormous when I saw it at first, but it shrank when I walked closer or something. Like not exactly that, but like it always looks the same size, no matter how far away from it you are? But when I got close, it was just down there walking around and clucking like nothing was out of the ordinary. Other birds seemed a bit wary of it, though. Agent S████: Have you told anyone else about this? Mr. P█████: Naw, pretty much called you Believe It Or Not guys first thing. I 'spect you pay pretty well for weird shit like this, so I didn't want anyone else taking pictures or whatever. Agent S████: Well, this certainly is an exciting item. Come along with me and I'll take you over to our purchasing department and we'll work out a good price for this girl. Mr. P█████: Sounds good! <End Log> Closing Statement: Mr. P█████ was administered class C amnestics, paid $10 for the loss of one chicken, and returned to his farm. Document 3620-2: Suicide note of Dr. F████████ Show note Hide note None of it matters. You understand what 3620 is, right? It's not a chicken, it's a fucking bug. It's an [sic] glitch. An error message. She's a 404-not-found that shits out eggs. So what does that make the rest of us? Software, running on some higher-order computer somewhere. We're just a simulation. None of it fucking matters. Control alt delete. —Dan Document 3620-3: Interview with Dr. Charlene M████ following death of Dr. Daniel F████████ Show interview Hide interview Interviewed: Dr. Charlene M████, lead researcher, SCP-3620 Interviewer: Agent R███████, internal review committee Foreword: On 20██-04-12, junior researcher Dr. Daniel F████████ was found dead in his office of apparent suicide. Autopsy revealed a massive overdose of injected paralytics. A classification-review investigation was launched to determine whether or not the suicide would indicate a cause to change the "Safe" classification of SCP-3620. <Begin Log> Interviewer: Can you tell us about Mr. F████████? Dr. M████: Well, I can tell you he'd get pissed off at you calling him "mister" instead of "doctor". Interviewer: My apologies. Dr. F████████. Dr. M████: No problem. He was pretty new to the team — pretty fresh out of grad school, in fact — and this was his first assignment here. We were working on seeing if Spongy could- Interviewer: (interrupting) I'm sorry, "Spongy?" Dr. M████: Oh. Yeah, it's kind of a nickname we gave SCP-3620. Spongy. Short for 'Data Expunged'. I know we're supposed to stay detached, but it's hard when you work with one of the animate ones for years, and frankly, 'SCP-3620' is a bit of a mouthful. Interviewer: I see. Please continue. Dr. M████: We were working on seeing if SCP-3620 could be used as a food source. She's basically a chicken, and so when you pull off a wing or a leg or cut off a chunk of breast or whatever, it's made of regular old chicken meat, and a new part pops right back no matter how much we chop off. But we have to keep things balanced. "Wanted Buffalo wings so much the extra mass threw off Earth's orbit" would be one of the more embarrassing XKs to cause, you know? Interviewer: Right. Dr. M████: So Dan was helping me out with making a denser feed and measuring how much we could get her to eat in a day, and I saw him just stop and get this far-away look in his eyes. Then he said he had to go to his office. That was the last I saw of him. The last anyone saw of him, I guess. Interviewer: Could the feeding protocol have triggered an effect? Dr. M████: Unlikely. After it happened, we brought in a few D-class to try and recreate it, and none of them had a problem. Interviewer: So in your professional opinion, do you believe that Dr. F████████'s suicide was due to an anomalous effect created by SCP-3620? Dr. M████: I do not. At least, not like a memetic or telepathic effect. I've personally been studying this for three years now, it's been in custody since the 80s, and this is the first time anything like this has happened. You tend to become a bit numb to the weirdness around here, but someone as new as Dan… We think of the Euclids and the Keters as the scary ones, so we forget that even quote-unquote-safe skips can destroy someone's whole worldview, you know? <End Log> Note: Reclassification committee voted to retain current "Safe" classification of SCP-3620.

SCP-3621	keter	WARNING: Unknown character sets detected in below report. Please contact the System Administrator at first opportunity. Item #: SCP-3621 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3621 is to be contained in the High-Security Vault of Dimensional Site-04. Testing with SCP-3621 is not permitted at this time, under any circumstances without direct approval by a majority of the O5 council. Documentation regarding Hume level fluctuations regarding SCP-3621 are available in Document-3621-S-1, and Document-3621-S-2. Compositional reports are available in Document-3621-S-3. One Scranton Reality Anchor is to be located within the containment chamber of SCP-3621, at all times. Description: SCP-3621 is the skeletal remains of former Foundation employee Dr. Michael Magnus, deceased July 17, 20██. SCP-3621 constantly generates a low level elevated Hume field, which has proven to be disruptive to the function of Dimensional Site-04. Due to the volatile nature of Dimensional Anchoring, and the elevated Hume levels, at this time SCP-3621 is not to be moved. At this time, no testing shall be permitted with SCP-3621. If testing with Hume fields is required, refer to document SCRANTON-SAGE-6-A-47 to determine if a Scranton Reality Field Generator is appropriate for testing. Addendum 1: Due to the nature of SCP-3621, at this time, access to Secure Storage at Dimensional Site-04 is restricted to those on the approved list located at [LEVEL 5 CLEARANCE REQUIRED].

SCP-3621-α SCP-3621-β Ethics Committee Findings Item #: SCP-3621 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3621 is to be contained in the High-Security Vault of Dimensional Site-04. SCP-3621 is unable to be moved at this time, and while physically contained, its effects are currently uncontained at this time. SCP-3621's containment chamber is to be lined with standard Polypropylene-blend soundproofing, in order to dampen noise emanations during Emergence Events. Per ethics committee decision, this soundproofing shall not reduce noise levels below 20 db. See attached Ethics Committee report. -O5-2 Several proposals have been put forward to contain SCP-3621, including the use of Scranton Reality Anchors, anomalous entities currently in containment, and potential destruction of Dimensional Site-04. All current have been rejected as infeasible. Further proposals may be submitted directly to O5-6 or O5-2. Description: SCP-3621 are the skeletal remains of former Foundation employee Dr. Michael Magnus, deceased July 17, 20██. SCP-3621 occasionally generates a Hume field of previously unobserved magnitude, which has to date corresponded with the discovery of an anomalous object requiring containment. During these events (hereafter designated as "Emergence Events"), a visual and auditory anomaly is observed within the containment chamber of SCP-3621. Visual identification has confirmed this to be a light-based anomaly resembling Dr. Michael Magnus. This image is transparent, and the light which comprises it falls within the 380–450 nm wavelengths of the visual spectrum. Universally, this image has been observed to be drawn towards SCP-3621, however, no sources of motile force have been observed in SCP-3621's containment chamber. "Sound Levels during Emergence Events" The only observable forces generated during an Emergence Event is a sound wave of significant magnitude, emanating from the approximate region of the visual anomaly's head, which has been observed at upwards of 120 dB, with an average around 110 dB. Content of this sound wave appears to be a compressed, overlapping continual vocalization consistent with vocal records for Dr. Michael Magnus. Upon reaching SCP-3621, the previously mentioned Hume field is generated, and all sound waves generated by the Emergence Event ceases. To date, sixteen anomalous objects have been discovered, of which fourteen have been contained, and two are unaccounted for. These objects have been discovered with no discernable geographic pattern, at least one of which is located within extra-solar space. They have ranged from Safe, to Keter, and there appears to be no pattern as to the form these objects take. At this time, there is no reasonable expectation of a cessation of this behavior. (See Document SCP-3621-β). After an extensive interview process, Dr. Jacob Kensington was found to have no memory of the events detailed in either document SCP-3621-β, or the actual attempt to enact Directive Legends. Through the use of both class A veritants, and standard interrogation, this has been proven to be true. It's unknown at this time how much of our continuity is obscured, or altered by SCP-3621 and the events of its creation. Several key events of the actual creation of SCP-3621, and the circumstances of Melanie duMourne and Dr. Kensington's involvement have been shown to be altered in some significant way. Additional continuity and reality-shifts are to be documented in Document SCP-3621-RS. Addendum 1: SCP-3621 is the result of a failed attempt to alter reality by former overseer Melanie duMourne. Through the unauthorized request of the assistance of SCP-343, an attempt was made on July 20██ to create a large-scale fracturing of reality, resulting in an CK-Restructuring event. This was accomplished through the attempt to enact Directive Legends, a project which was deemed both completely unfeasible, and potentially dangerous. Directive Legends was the product of Dr. Magnus' "research" which was proven to be patently false, and inconsistent with the course of reality. SCP-3621-1's degree in the field of "Metaphysics" was an obvious forgery, and not related to any field of modern scientific study. Due to this, and the easily disproven nature of the proposal, the entire directive was near-unanimously rejected by the O5 council, in a 12-1 vote. The following is a transcript of the hearing before the overseer council, regarding the incident: Interviewed: Melanie duMourne (previously O5-2) Foreword: The transcription here is of a relatively informal meeting of the O5 council. A majority of vote-capable members were present either in person, or by proxy, and thus was considered enough to hold a vote of no-confidence. <Begin Log, August 22, 20██> O5-6: I was there, 2. I was in your office, with Kensington, when you told me that this was a no go, as we all voted. Melanie duMourne: I'm aware of that. O5-6: You're 'aware of that'? Really? That's your only defense? Melanie duMourne: I don't feel the need to defend my actions here. We were losing the fight, and it needed to be won. Had everyone voted in favor, we wouldn't be sitting here. O5-6: So that's all? No justification, you went ahead anyway, because you thought this would work? That's naive, and frankly, a gross breach of the trust you've had for decades. The entire council, yourself included, agreed that the patients cannot run the asylum. Melanie duMourne: Yes, I did. And I changed my mind. So I did what I thought was best. I make no apologies for that. O5-6: Very well. We'll call a vote. <End Log> Closing Statement: The final vote, with O5-2 abstaining for obvious reasons was 9-0 to revoke O5-2's status as overseer. A special committee was appointed by the ethics committee to determine the appropriate punishment. Special Addendum 2: The following is a document recovered from incident ARGON-RHO-M-47. All records of this incident have been sealed by a 2/3rds vote of the O5 council This document, designated SCP-3621-β, is believed to have been recovered from an alternate, parallel continuity which is somehow intrinsically tied to our own. The following is an entry from the Foundation Database of that reality: Item #: SCP-3621 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3621 is to be contained in the High-Security Vault of Dimensional Site-04. Testing with SCP-3621 is not permitted at this time, under any circumstances without direct approval by a majority of the O5 council. Documentation regarding Hume level fluctuations regarding SCP-3621 are available in Document-3621-S-1, and Document-3621-S-2. Compositional reports are available in Document-3621-S-3.

Testing with SCP-3621 is not permitted at this time, under any circumstances without direct approval by a majority of the O5 council, and special approval of 05-2. Documentation regarding Hume level fluctuations regarding SCP-3621, including Hume-CDM formulaic conversions, are available in Document-3621-S-1, and Document-3621-S-2. Compositional reports are available in Document-3621-S-3. SCP-3621-1 is to be assigned to continual high-risk missions, likely to result in death, or significant bodily harm. PoI-3621-A (Dr. Jacob Kensington) is tasked with the continued secrecy of SCP-3621 and the related project files. One Scranton Reality Anchor is to be located within the containment chamber of SCP-3621, at all times. Description: SCP-3621 are the skeletal remains of former Foundation employee Dr. Michael Magnus, deceased July 17, 20██. SCP-3621 constantly generates a low level elevated Hume field, which has proven to be disruptive to the function of Dimensional Site-04. SCP-3621-1 is Foundation employee Dr. Michael Magnus. Due to the effects of Directive Legends, SCP-3621 is to be considered an anomalous reality bending object, however SCP-3621-1 is not capable of bending reality under its own power. Upon death, SCP-3621-1 re-appears within 12 to 24 hours within SCP-3621's containment chamber. O5-2 and Director Salazar are tasked with the recovery and re-insertion of SCP-3621-1 in to concurrent reality. SCP-3621's anomalous effect extends to what has been described as a "Continuity Defference Matrix" (referred hereafter as "CDM") which has been co-harmonized to various Senior Staff until further notice. For a full description of these effects see Addendum 3. Addendum 1: SCP-3621's effect has been confirmed to increase with each subsequent death of SCP-3621-1. Provisionally, SCP-3621-1 was assigned to several combat missions, despite their lack of combat training. Each mission proved fatal to SCP-3621-1, which raised concerns by the Ethics Committe. Ethics Committe report on SCP-3621/SCP-3621-1 Due to the significant physical harm caused to SCP-3621-1, at this time it is the findings of the Ethics Committee to immediately halt SCP-3621-1's assignment to combat missions. There is not a significant gain to be made with the continual death and regeneration of SCP-3621-1. Due to the disturbing nature of recordings of these "regenerations," the physical harm to SCP-3621-1 is completely unacceptable to this committee. Addendum 2: By a unanimous decision of the O5 council, the ruling of the ethics committee has been overturned. The effect of the CDM upon the Senior Staff has proven to be significantly more valuable than the concerns raised in the ethics committee report. Due to the vast improvements made in the capture, containment, and termination (as required) of anomalous entities by the Senior Staff of the Foundation, the SCP-3621 project will continue as directed. CDM has been proven to increase Hume readings in affected subjects. The "reality bending" effect which occurs is not actively controllable. The effects however, allow subjects to perform near-impossible actions and achieve mission objectives deemed to carry unacceptable risk. Addendum 3: Some of the effects of the CDM include: Increased Physical resilience Decreased recovery time from injury The ability to perform difficult, to impossible, feats of marksmanship Increased resistance to mental influence Increased resistance to low Hume levels Decreased side effects from toxic substances Specific events which demonstrate the CDM: Implantation of fully metallic bionic legs with zero rejection. The ability to pursue combat against reality bending entities with no special preparations or weaponry. Fully-body injuries which should induce crush syndrome which heal within two months. Since the introduction of the CDM to the Senior Staff of the foundation, identification, recovery, and containment of SCP objects has become a cost-adjusted value of 22.4% more efficient, with this number predicting to increase as SCP-3621-1's total deaths increase. Addendum 4: SCP-3621 was created as a side effect of the Directive Legends project. Initially rejected by majority vote of the O5 council, O5-2 proceeded without authorization to pursue with project, with an unauthorized request of assistance from SCP-343. Though officially reprimanded, O5-2 was not removed from the O5 council. The effects of Directive Legends significantly outweighed the potential risks in the end, and O5-2 was cleared of any potential disciplinary charges, with the provision of being warned that such behavior would not be tolerated in the future. End record of recovered document. Addendum 3: The ethics committee decision regarding the potential punishment of Melanie duMourne met on [REDACTED] and produced the following report: Ethics Committee Report detailing the punishment and incarceration of former O5-2 Melanie duMourne It is not normally the place of the O5 council, nor the ethics committee to "punish" individuals for perceived crimes. Loss of position, loss of privileges, loss of life. These are things that have been deemed required for particular offenses in the past. This case, however, has been deemed something more. To be crystal clear, this is not about vengeance. This is not about justice. This is, pure and simple, about the most effective way to make use of Melanie duMourne, without exposing The Foundation, the world, or any related reality to the influence of her decisions. As such, it is the Ethics Committee's findings that Melanie duMourne be confined to Dimensional Site-04, and be required to write the final after-action and Familial Notice documents for all incidents relating to SCP-3621. Any and all casualties, damage, death, or destruction that Melanie duMourne is responsible for, she will be directly responsible for cataloging, and responding to. This task shall be completed within the outer containment chamber of SCP-3621, beyond the sound dampening barrier. Emergence Events shall be shielded to no lower than 20 dB.

Diaghilev, 31/12/2017 23:59:59 UTC. [REDACTED] Display version: Level 3/3622 [Redacted Elements: 7 \| Redaction supervisor: D. Nedjelski ten.pcs.hcrsr\|ikslejden.d#ten.pcs.hcrsr\|ikslejden.d ] Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-3622-1 are to be contained whenever possible, through a combination of misinformation, talent acquisition, and corporate sabotage. In the event that instances of SCP-3622-1 must be taken into Foundation custody, they are to be held in temporary standard humanoid containment for 72 hours, and issued class A amnestics. Under no circumstances are SCP-3622-1 instances to be contained together, except during testing. In the event of SCP-3622 infection reaching unmanageable levels, instances of SCP-3622-1 are either to be acquired by the Foundation, or to be encouraged to seek employment at other organizations by Foundation agents. Suspicions of SCP-3622 infection in Foundation software teams is to be reported immediately. All persons suspected of SCP-3622 infection are not to participate in any Agile methodology meetings, or proceedings until SCP-3622 infection is either ruled out, or wears off. In the event of a mass outbreak of SCP-3622-1, termination is authorized in select circumstances. Please see Document SCP-3622-T-EX for circumstances and approval chain. Prepared by Dr. D. Nedjelski, Agent R. Donnarson, 17/4/2017 11:23:51 UTC. ten.pcs.hcrsr\|ikslejden.d#ten.pcs.hcrsr\|ikslejden.d, ten.pcs.ces\|nosrannod.r#ten.pcs.ces\|nosrannod.r Description: SCP-3622 is a memetic effect which affects computer programmers exposed to SCP-3622's infection vectors. SCP-3622 affects any human who creates, modifies, or maintains software and uses Agile development methodologies1. Affected subjects are collectively designated SCP-3622-1. SCP-3622-1 instances will begin to introduce minor delays in any daily meetings, development processes, or productivity tools that they interact with, until said processes are brought to a complete stand-still. SCP-3622-1 will also pass SCP-3622 on to any other humans qualifying as SCP-3622-1 hosts. SCP-3622's primary transmission occurs through a hallucinatory entity, which appears on software development teams through anomalous means. This entity takes the form of a managerial employee, usually deemed an "efficiency consultant", which creates the initial infection vector. Universally, this entity disappears within 24 hours of initial infection. Members of the software team then become instances of SCP-3622-1 and become the secondary infection vector. SCP-3622's effect is passed on by instances of SCP-3622-1 through currently unknown anomalous means. In most subjects, SCP-3622's effects will cease to manifest after 72 hours, if isolated from other instances of SCP-3622-1. Several cases have significantly longer, or significantly shorter periods of time. All individuals showing this discrepancy have brain stem disorders or deformaties. Prepared by Dr. D. Nedjelski, 17/4/2017 11:14:55 UTC. ten.pcs.hcrsr\|ikslejden.d#ten.pcs.hcrsr\|ikslejden.d Updated Effect Vector Persons with disorders affecting the brain stem were particularly affected significantly shorter (sometimes for minutes or less), until ██/██/████, corresponding to an "update" to SCP-3622.

Foundation assets brought the agents in under the guise of extended sabbatical. Agents Kuthrupali and Saksena recovered from the effects of SCP-3622 after 72 hours. The following is a transcript of an initial interview with Agents Saksena and Kuthrupali. Interview - Initial Discovery Debrief Close Transcript Interviewer: Dr. S. Callaghan, Department of Psychology. Interviewed: Agents Saksena and Kuthrupali Date of Interview: 16/6/2017, 09:22:34 UTC === Doctor Callaghan: So tell me what happened. Agent Saksena: It all seemed so normal. Our standups were around five or ten minutes, right? Agent Kuthrupali: Ten at the outside. Doctor Callaghan: Right, and? Agent Saksena: They started getting longer. Like, a lot longer. We went from giving updates, to giving code reviews, to giving in depth discussions about methodology and style. It seemed so normal, like…for real. I didn't even notice. Agent Kuthrupali: The average got up to like…four hours. Sometimes more. It was even worse with the git repo2. I swear, when we got pulled out, I was on page six of my referenced commit message which explained why I used the syntax I did, it was insane. Doctor Callaghan: Any idea when it started? Agent Saksena: Looking back, yeah. It's pretty obvious it was right around the time that Steve, at least I think his name was Steve, joined. But here's the crazy part, now that whatever the hell was going on, isn't going on, I'm really really certain Steve isn't real. Agent Kuthrupali: I think he's right. Steve joined in September, as an… efficiency consultant? So we had to listen to them. We resisted at first, until the changes became mandatory. Then it was like, we wanted to make them. Doctor Callaghan: What sorts of things changed other than what you've mentioned? Agent Kuthrupali: Good example, our documentation wiki. Agent Saksena: Christ. Yeah. Doctor Callaghan: Mmm? Agent Kuthrupali: Okay, so normally with software, it's like document it well enough to work, but get the work done. By the time December rolls around, I was writing two or three pages of wiki text, per ten lines of code. Like, explaining every assignment and variable name. Agent Saksena: I can't stress this enough. It all seemed so normal. Doctor Callaghan: Well, your brain waves show no anomalous activity. You guys'll be on leave for a few more days, then probably assigned to desk work for now. Agent Kuthrupali: Understood. Thanks doc. Agent Saksena: No problem, thanks doctor. Doctor Callaghan: That's it, you can shut off the tape. === END OF LOG Prepared by Dr. S. Callaghan, 17/6/2017 03:22:21 UTC. ten.pcs.dem\|nahgallac.s#ten.pcs.dem\|nahgallac.s Effect Clarification Generally, SCP-3622 will slow down a specific team to the point where the developers will come in to work, consume resources, and produce no viable work. As reported in debriefing transcripts, this slow down will not seem out of the ordinary to instances of SCP-3622-1. Extended observation of SCP-3622 and SCP-3622-1 instances at Bond Street LLC have produced several examples of SCP-3622 behaviors: Daily meetings (commonly referred to as "standups") to discuss progress on ongoing software projects increase in duration steadily. Average duration increase is between 7 and 12 minutes per week, and appears to have a final duration of a maximum of eight hours. Issue tracking descriptions growing increasingly complex, and implementing arbitrary rules for style. Version tracking complexity increasing until general codebase changes are near, or total zero. Documentation requirements sharply increasing for arbitrary reasons, which are rapidly abandoned.

According to the attached email, the effects of SCP-3622 have been changed and intensified.

Please shut down your clusters, and make sure that ports 22, 80, and [REDACTED] are open to our servers, as the upgrade will only work if it's verified through our servers on port [REDACTED]. We're really excited about this one! Issue tracking is always a hassle in the end, haha! We've also fixed a few nasty bugs, most significantly an edge case which nearly negated Quaesturas™ benefits in certain circumstances. Thanks for the great bug reports, guys! If anyone still hasn't upgraded their cluster software or hardware from the last version, please email us for support immediately. Your support contract will expire without updated hardware! Thanks again for being loyal Quaesturas™ customers. We look forward to your continual support and patronage. Mike Summers, CEO Ledenoff Technologies After this email was intercepted, observations at [REDACTED] Inc. showed additional instances of SCP-3622-1 throughout multiple locations belonging to their competitors, apparently spread through the target's issue tracking software. Additional investigation into instances of SCP-3622 at other organizations showed the same patterns, indicating this "upgrade" to the "Quaesturas" software expanded its anomalous effect significantly. Most significantly the original timing discrepancy found in subjects with brain stem disorders was no longer observed. Prepared by Technician B. Solano, 15/8/2017 09:14:55 UTC. ten.pcs.ved\|onalos.b#ten.pcs.ved\|onalos.b Initial Contact with Potential GoI/PoI Ledenoff Technologies is incorporated in Wilmington, Delaware, within the United States. Foundation agents approached the organizations registered business address under the guise of a Foundation shell company, with overtures to purchase the software and hardware components which cause SCP-3622. Foundation Agents were dispatched to their corporate headquarters in Toronto, Canada. After six hours within the office building, contact with the agents was lost. Six minutes after loss of contact, an email was sent to the shell corporation email server. Attached is the text of the email received: Email Received by Foundation Close Transcript To: Daniel Kaber <moc.noidlaks\|22rebakd#moc.noidlaks\|22rebakd> From: Mike Summers <moc.seigolonhcetffonedel\|sremmusm#moc.seigolonhcetffonedel\|sremmusm> CC: Ledenoff Sales <moc.seigolonhcetffonedel\|selas#moc.seigolonhcetffonedel\|selas>, Skaldion Distributed <moc.noidlaks\|tsid_ks#moc.noidlaks\|tsid_ks> Hey there, Mike here, I'm sure we can come to some kind of agreement here, but you're gonna have to get serious. Our technology is the real deal. If we could give you a client list (which we can't, of course, haha), you'd be shocked at the names on it. Everyone uses us! Unfortunately, we have a strict no-proxy policy with our clients. If your "Foundation" would like to acquire a Quaesturas™ cluster, we're more than willing to negotiate. Keep in mind however, we have a very strict usage limit for the Quaesturas™ cluster technologies. We expect all of our clients to keep it to a reasonable level, and will intervene if we feel this technology is being abused. Our basic plan will require the following in terms of physical space for the hardware: [Link redacted. Link leads to a PDF document with space, and power requirements for computer hardware]. Additionally, you'll need to provide space for at least three Quaesturas™ key-men on site. Each will require the following dietary regimine, through a feeding tube: [Link redacted. Link leads to a PDF document with dietary guidelines for what appeared to be three anomalous individuals]. Our basic plan starts around $22 Million, but we can probably negotiate a bulk discount considering the size of your organization! We have higher plans available of course, and custom solutions are available. Reach out to us at moc.seigolonhcetffonedel\|selas#moc.seigolonhcetffonedel\|selas if you're interested! Looking forward to hearing from you. Mike Summers CEO Ledenoff Technologies P.S. Your corporate goons are back at home! They'll be fine. Agents Danvers and Callavatra were found in their homes with no memory of their time in the Ledenoff Technologies offices. Foundation agents infiltrated the Ledenoff Technologies office building, but discovered no evidence of Ledenoff technologies within the building. The office space registered to the corporation was unoccupied, but still paid monthly by a registered Ledenoff Technologies account. Power and internet usage for the building included a large portion going to the 17th floor, which was registered to Ledenoff Technologies. Surveillance of the entrance to the building has proven non-viable, as to date, no employees of Ledenoff Technologies have been identified other than "Mike Summers", the apparent CEO. Mike Summers (designated PoI-████) graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 2002, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. Foundation agents raided the registered address of Mike Summers in Toronto; however, the apartment appears to have been abandoned for some time. Mike Summers was reported missing from 2003 to 2006. Several sightings were made in Sochi, Russia, as well as the Balkan Region around this time. Ledenoff Technologies was founded by Mike Summers in 2007. According to incorporation records, two names were on the original ownership forms. The original copies of these forms were lost during the switch to an electronic tracking system for the incorporating entity in 2008. Amended ownership forms only list Mike Summers as the owner and CEO of Ledenoff Technologies. Passport records indicate that an individual listed as "K. Ledenoff" was recorded as entering Canada with Mike Summers in 2007. Information regarding K. Ledenoff can be forwarded to Director Stephenson. At this time, it is believed that K. Ledenoff is a potential PoI, due to their potential involvement in [ REDACTED ]3. Last updated by R. Diaghilev (REDACTION PROTOCOL CHANGED)3, 31/12/2017 23:59:59 UTC.

EDIT YOU HAVE ONE SAVED FILE EDIT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO CONTINUE WRITING? Yes Opening File: SCP-3623, version 1.2. … Task Interupted. You have a new urgent message. NOTIFICATION You have a new urgent message. FROM: Researcher Madeleine Sailer TO: Dr. Christopher Erwick Alright, Chris, I need your help. That work I was assigned to? I found out something I wasn't supposed to. I'm in trouble and I can't get out of it, not this time. I need a favour and it has to be a big one. We have known each other for the longest time and I trust you. It won't be easy, if it was, I would ask someone else to do it. I have done a lot for you over the past 12 years and you have done a lot for me. Please help me with this. Kill me. Close Opening File: SCP-3623… Item #: SCP-3623 Threat Level: Blue ● Special Containment Procedures: As of writing this document, Foundation was successful in containing 13 instances of SCP-3623 out of at least 200 worldwide1. The population of SCP-3623 is slowly increasing by unknown means. SCP-3623-1 through -11 are to be contained close to their respective hosts, in a standard humanoid containment cell in Site-91. Instances are to be housed separately from their hosts but in close proximity of no more than 3 kilometres. On-site personnel are to be reminded that while instances of SCP-3623 do not have the same needs as their hosts, they should be treated as if they had. An exception is to be made in case of SCP-3623-12 and -13, whose hosts are currently Foundation employees. Due to their similarity to humans and their state as anomalous entities, Protocol Artwork-VII has been devised and applies for any instance of SCP-3623 that infects transfers to Foundation personnel. See Addendum 3623-2 for more information regarding Protocol Artwork-VII. NOTIFICATION You have a new urgent message. FROM: Researcher Madeleine Sailer TO: Dr. Christopher Erwick I know you, Chris, don't you dare leave me now. Listen, I just need you to understand. There is no way to help me. Close Mobile Task Force is to actively search for and contain instances of SCP-3623 and their hosts. Remaining uncontained instances are to be captured if found but no active searching is to be enacted due to difficulty of such task and the low level of danger that SCP-3623 represents. Description: SCP-3623 is an intelligent species of anomalous parasitic symbiotic humanoids, which uses sentient species, usually humans, as their host. The connection between SCP-3623 and its host is psychological and does not require physical contact to form. Persons affected by SCP-3623 experience a variety of symptoms ranging from headache to loss of consciousness, however, they are not in any immediate danger. NOTIFICATION You have a new urgent message. FROM: Researcher Madeleine Sailer TO: Dr. Christopher Erwick Just listen, or read. I cannot explain what I did, we both know that when it comes to work, not asking questions might save your life. Now I know that you will feel like shit but that is better than being dead right? Reply FROM: Dr. Christopher Erwick TO: Researcher Madeleine Sailer I am listening. Just because it's you. Biology of SCP-3623 is identical to human with a few key differences: Only female instances of SCP-3623 exist. Reproductive systems of SCP-3623 do not function2. SCP-3623 do not require any nutrition other than energy drained from their hosts but have completely functioning digestive systems. Stable Hume Field of exactly 0.87 Humes has been observed in all contained instances of SCP-3623 to date and has proved to be the only effective way of identifying instances of SCP-3623 from humans. Instances of SCP-3623 have not been observed to have any reality bending abilities. SCP-3623 have an extremely long lifespan. To date, no known occurrence of natural death has been observed in SCP-36233. NOTIFICATION You have a new urgent message. FROM: Researcher Madeleine Sailer TO: Dr. Christopher Erwick Fine. Look I just want you to know that I love you and all of this emotional bullshit, you know but there isn't time for that. I have time until tomorrow at best and trust me that I am panicking as much as I can. This needs to be done. Reply FROM: Dr. Christopher Erwick TO: Researcher Madeleine Sailer Mady, I am trying my best to understand but… What do you want me to do? Walk into your office with a gun? I am not a killer, I wouldn't hurt anyone, let alone you. Roughly every 72 hours, SCP-3623 will start a "feeding event". In order for SCP-3623 to start feeding, a distance of maximally 5 kilometres from the host has to be established, otherwise, the subject will starve. There is no observable change in behaviour of SCP-3623 and the entities in question do not report feeling any change either4, however, the host does experience this event as a sudden surge of weariness, sometimes accompanied by headaches. Strength of this surge depends on the time passed since the last feeding event. NOTIFICATION You have a new urgent message. FROM: Researcher Madeleine Sailer TO: Dr. Christopher Erwick You'll find a way. You were always the creative one. :) Reply FROM: Dr. Christopher Erwick TO: Researcher Madeleine Sailer I have you to thank for that… PS: Smileys? Really? Now? An anomalous side effect of this feeding is described as a sudden compulsion to create and engage in activities regarded as artistic, such as writing poems or playing instruments. This can be used as an indicator of the connection between host and SCP-3623 as affected persons may exhibit a change in behaviour. It is to be noted, that this effect only creates artistic compulsion and does not enhance any previous skill. Because of this, instances of SCP-3623 generally prefer people with pre-existing artistic capabilities, when switching hosts. NOTIFICATION You have a new urgent message. FROM: Researcher Madeleine Sailer TO: Dr. Christopher Erwick This is getting too cheezy. Just… just think of something. Please. For me. Close Addendum 3623-1: Transfer Process Transfer process occurs only when the host of SCP-3623 dies and cannot happen otherwise. In the opposite scenario, where SCP-3623 dies, the host starts developing symptoms of depression and various psychological problems leading to eventual suicide in 93% of cases. During this process, SCP-3623 will experience a great amount of pain and involuntarily undergo an event similar to metamorphosis. SCP-3623 will replace at least 50% of its genome and go through a complete body and personality change. The memory of SCP-3623 is also replaced. It is to be noted that in some cases, SCP-3623 will retain the memory of its nature as an anomalous entity. Transcript of a recorded transfer process Close [Video has been recorded on 04/01/2011 after a breach at Site-91 caused the death of Researcher ██████, who was at the time the host of SCP-3623-13. SCP-3623-13 begun the transfer process approximately 20 minutes later. Transcript of video record depicting the transfer process follows.] Shot begins with a view of an adult blonde woman (SCP-3623-13) kneeling on the floor of a containment unit at Site-91. The woman is showing signs of distress and speaks in agony. After this, SCP-3623-13 calls out for Researcher ██████, its recently deceased host, pleading for help. This is abruptly cut by a loud scream from the subject and a flash of bright light emitted from the subject's body. Video is blinded for several seconds before slowly regaining sight of the subject who is now laying on the ground without any movement. The subject looks very different from its original form and now appears as a young woman with red hair, noticeably taller than before. Subject's clothing remains the same, though it doesn't fit the subject's figure anymore. Subject regains consciousness approximately 15 seconds later, is visibly confused, anxious and expresses signs of amnesia. [Video ends] Most subjects will almost instantly accustom to their new personalities and bodies. Their memory is completely replaced with false memories of their life, similar to the effects of amnestic treatment. Interestingly, SCP-3623 is extremely resilient against any other amnestic effect. It is also to be noted that instances of SCP-3623 and their respective hosts often exhibit a subconscious need to stay close to one another, even when not aware of their psychic link. NOTIFICATION You have a new urgent message. FROM: Researcher Madeleine Sailer TO: Dr. Christopher Erwick Are you here? Did you think of anything yet? Close Addendum 3623-2: Protocol Artwork-VII [SUBMIT LOGIN CREDENTIALS: LEVEL 3 CLEARANCE REQUIRED] [CREDENTIALS ACCEPTED] Protocol Artwork-VII applies to instances of SCP-3623 which are connected to Foundation Personnel (Currently two, SCP-3623-12 and -13). As of writing this, no effective way of breaking the connection between SCP-3623 and its host exists. Termination of host triggers a transfer event and termination of SCP-3623 causes host to develop severe anxiety and depression, eventually leading to suicide. Due to this, the fact that instances of SCP-3623 themselves exhibit no dangerous properties and the memory alteration caused during their transfer, it has been decided that SCP-3623-12 and -13 will be given statuses of Foundation employees. Protocol: All instances of Foundation employees who are SCP-3623 are to be kept oblivious of their true nature. Hosts of respective instances are to be informed of their nature as hosts and are to be given all information regarding the instance of SCP-3623 that connected to them. All instances of Foundation employees who are SCP-3623 are to have their security clearance edited without their knowledge and are not allowed to leave Site-91. Should any instance of SCP-3623 realise their true nature, they are to be referred to the document below. Document 3623-VII: Welcome, You are here because you want to know who you are. First of all, I am horribly sorry, no you are not human, no we couldn't tell you. I worked hard and used all my influence and connections in the Ethics Committee to even create Protocol Artwork-VII. Not telling you was a compromise. Why? Well, the Foundation contains anomalies. We do not destroy them, we do not use them and most importantly, we do not work with them. Of course, there are exceptions. And this is one of them. I don't care if anyone disagrees. What else would you have done? Execute all the SCP-3623 we have because some of them infected the personnel? Keep them locked up and risk the staff killing themselves? If it was on me, I would let this anomaly be, but I also understand that the Foundation doesn't leave anomalies uncontained. So here you are, SCP-3623. But think about it, do you really feel that different? I recommend you to tell your host. Talking is a key to a successful relationship and if you like it or not, you are in one now. It has worked for me while it did, it should for you. I apologise for telling you this way. But this arrangement is already very thin. Please think about your next action. - Dr. Erwick, former Director of Site-91 NOTIFICATION You have a new urgent message. FROM: Researcher Madeleine Sailer TO: Dr. Christopher Erwick You know.

SCP-3624	euclid	Item #: SCP-3624 Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-3624-1 are to be monitored remotely and all civilians that come into contact with SCP-3624-1 instances are to be administered class A amnestics. All SCP-3624-1 instances of which associated subjects have expired (as of ██/██/20██, four) are to be kept in standard containment units. The size of the cells is to be adjusted for each individual instance. GoI-435's operations are to be monitored and all SCP-3624 events are to be interrupted. Zoos and animal shelters in the designated high-risk zones (for details view Document-3624-G13) are to be monitored and all cases of missing exotic animals are to be screened for potential GoI-435 involvement. MTF Gamma-13 ("Rosemary's Lover") is assigned to the task of dismantling the organization and all relevant information is to be reported to the Task Force leader. Description: SCP-3624 is a thaumaturgic ritual consisting of a number of rites and gestures. It utilizes a number of requisites, most important being multiple animal body parts and silver knives. The ritual involves sewing these body parts together in a shape superficially resembling an animal. The shapes vary in size and form with the smallest documented measuring 1 m in height and 2 m in length and the largest 3 m in height and 12 m in length. After an SCP-3624 event, the body will be buried next to the site of the ritual. After approximately half an hour, the "animal" will become animate and begin displaying life functions, becoming an instance of SCP-3624-1. This happens regardless of how compatible the body parts are with each other and will take place even in biologically implausible cases. Organs of SCP-3624-1 instances are fully functioning and normal processes take place. These rituals are connected to a cult called "The Gravediggers" associated with ancient Gothic pagan beliefs (designated Group of Interest-435). The group regularly attempts to carry out the rituals, most often in relatively isolated locations. A nearly completed ritual was documented by Foundation operatives and other SCP-3624 events have only slightly deviated from it. + View document - Access granted Name: Transcript of SCP-3624 Event-2 Date: ██/██/201█ Foreword: The second documented ritual took place in an abandoned church in ██████, Germany and was allowed to progress to near completion. The building was under surveillance using planted cameras and microphones and surrounded by Foundation forces. 10:12 PM: Members of GoI-435 gather on the pews, while the cult leader and his helpers set up a wooden altar shaped in the likeness of a coffin. 10:14 PM: The leader delivers a speech, announcing that the "time of burial" is coming and that the ritual will bring it closer. The monologue includes a description of damage that SCP-3624 will bring to the world and an assurance that the members of the "ancient faith" will be the only ones spared. 10:30 PM: The ritual begins, helpers bring previously slaughtered animals (common vampire bat Desmodus rotundus, common cow Bos taurus, Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx, brown bear Ursus arctos, Atlantic cod Gadus morhua) to the altar and begin cutting their limbs. The cult starts chanting. The language was later identified to be ancient Germanic in origin. 10:35 PM: Body parts are sewn together, the leader joins the chant. 10:37 PM: Three cult members begin self-mutilation with knives and other sharp implements, severing a few of their fingers and throwing them on the altar. 10:48 PM: A live pig is brought in. The animal is hung over the altar on scaffolding. The leader slits its throat and collects the blood with a bowl. 10:51 PM: Four more cultists mutilate themselves. One tries to cut his arm at the elbow, but passes out from blood loss before completion. 10:56 PM: After performing a number of gestures the cult leader begins pouring the blood into the mouth of the corpse. Mission command orders an assault on the building. 10:57 PM: Containment team Beta enters the building and stops the ritual. Afterword: Foundation forces suffered no casualties. 14 GoI-435 members were captured including the leader, remaining 23 were killed in action. An example contained instance of SCP-3624-1 is characterized by: • Head of Felis catus (house cat), • Torso of Canis lupus familiaris (domestic dog), • Front legs of Ursus arctos (brown bear), • Lack of hind legs, • Tail of Sus scrofa domesticus (domestic pig). It was recovered from █████, Wales after reports of a "monster" in the nearby woods. The aim of the SCP-3624 ritual is presumed to be a creation of an entity hostile to all sentient life, based on interrogations of GoI-435 members and collected scriptures. Despite this intended goal, SCP-3624-1 instances are generally friendly towards humans. The anomalies imitate the behavior, diet and sounds of animals that they superficially resemble. After becoming animate, the entities will begin moving around the area where ritual took place, seeking a person with whom they could form a relationship, referred to as bond. So far, all SCP-3624-1 instances have formed a bond, finding an "owner". Individuals that the entities view as their associated subjects perceive them as a common domesticated animal, such as dogs or cats. SCP-3624-1 instances form a strong relationship with these and will go to great lengths to protect them. The anomalies seem to prefer individuals isolated from the society, often targeting old or handicapped individuals. So far no entity has ever harmed its bonded subject and the relationship has even brought positive effects for the subjects, including improvements in mental health. SCP-3624-1 instances are strongly emotionally bonded and will enter catatonic state if separated from their associated subject for longer periods of time. If the associated person expires, the entity will show signs of grief and stay around the place of residence. At this stage, the anomalies are safe to be retrieved and are unlikely to display hostility, unless directly provoked. Addendum 3624-A: Transcript of SCP-3624 Event-1 + View document - Access granted Date: ██/██/201█ Foreword: After reports of "cultists" in an abandoned village in the woods near █████, Germany a team consisting of five Foundation agents was dispatched, including Agent S████, Agent W█████, Agent G████, Agent T█████ and Agent D█████. The group was equipped with standard Foundation field kit and armed with 9mm handguns. The operation was overseen by nearby Site-23. The aim of the operation was to determine the nature of the potential anomaly. <Begin Log> Command: This is Site-23, team Alpha, do you copy? Agent S████: This is agent S████, loud and clear. Team is assembled and ready to go. We reached the end of the asphalt road, we'll cover the remaining distance on foot. Awaiting orders. Command: You have all been briefed on the subject. We have close to zero intel, so keep low profile and remain hidden. In case it gets hot, we have a containment team assembled and ready to go. For now head to your destination. Agent S████: Understood. Command: Good luck Alpha. Agent D████: Hopefully we won't need it. Agent S████: I wish I shared your optimism D████. Let's go. The village is good few clicks away. [IRRELEVANT DATA REMOVED] Agent S████: Command, we're here. A few cars and a bunch of ruined wooden buildings, seems like only the mayor's house is standing. We can hear chanting coming from it and the lights are on. No movement outside. There is a large hole in the ground in front of the building. Permission to approach? Command: Approved. Try to get a look through the windows, don't attract attention. Agent S████: Alright. T█████, W█████ approach from the Eastern side, use the bushes for concealment. G████ you're going with me. Have your cameras ready, we'll try to take some pics. D████, photograph the license plates of the cars. Agent G████: Jesus, they are loud! How can they scream like this? Command: We're hearing it. It does not sound like German. Team, please confirm. Agent S████: Confirmed, it bears some resemblance, but I can't understand a word. Agent W█████: I say there are at least fifty people inside. We won't deal with that many. Agent S████: We won't approach them. Stay hidden. Agent D████: No worries. They are nutters and they don't know we're here. They didn't even post sentries! Agent T█████: Movement! S████, do you see it? Agent S████: Yeah. They are leaving the building. Only around twenty people. Some seem to be missing limbs. Agent T█████: They are carrying something. What the fuck is this thing? Agent G████: That's a wolf head. But the torso is too big. It looks like a… Agent T█████: That's a zebra torso. It could be the one missing from the zoo! Agent S████: The legs look cat-like. Tiger? Agent D████: I said, they are crazies. Agent S████: Command, they are burying the… Thing in the hole. Command: Don't interfere. Agent W█████: We weren't planning to. Agent S████: OK, the group is getting into the cars. They are leaving! Command: Tell me you got everything on tape. Agent S████: Sure thing. I could identify at least a dozen. Command: Alright, we'll be on the lookout for cars. Are they gone? Agent S████: Yes, we're approaching the grave and building. Agent G████: We're inside. Oh God, the smell! Seems like they cleaned everything up. There are some blood splatters. Here are the missing limbs! Agent W█████: Should I start unearthing our little chimera? Agent S████: Do it. D████ will join you. Agent D████: Always getting the best job. Agent W█████: Where is your optimism? Hold this shovel. [IRRELEVANT DATA REMOVED] Agent D████: Jesus Christ! Oh fuck! Command: Report! Agent D████: Get away from me! Agent W█████: It's alive! Agent S████: Stay away from it! Command: Alpha, report! Agent D████: It's running away! Agent S████: Command? Our kitty started moving and then went for the woods. Agent G████: Damn, it's fast! No way I'm chasing this! Agent S████: D████, you alright? Agent D████: Yeah, it just… Pushed me? Kind of? Command: Alright, get your gear and head back. We're sending a chopper, hopefully we'll track this thing down from the air. <End Log> Afterword The instance of SCP-3624-1 was not found until ten days after, when it was located in close proximity to the house of PoI-3624-1 by a chopper. Agents who were part of the search operation reported hearing howling in the distance. PoI-3624-1 was apparently on a walk with the entity and was engaging in playful behavior with it. All members of the cult involved in the event were tracked down and interrogated. Addendum 3624-B: Interview 3624-1 + View document - Access granted Interviewed: Person of Interest-3624-1 Interviewer: Agent ██████ Foreword: Agent ██████ disguised as a postman managed to enter the house of PoI-3624-1, the first identified subject bonded with SCP-3624-1, and conduct an interview. <Begin Log> PoI-3624-1: Here’s your tea. Agent ██████: Thank you very much, you’re too kind. PoI-3624-1: Oh, the weather’s so awful recently, it would be a sin not to treat you with something warm. Opening doors can be heard. PoI-3624-1: Ah, there you are Jonesy! I see you are liking the new doors. Agent ██████: That’s a beautiful pet. PoI-3624-1: You think so? I always wanted to have a cat. But my husband was allergic to them, we couldn’t buy one. And then, a year after his death this magnificent beast stumbled into my house. It was winter, as cold as this one. Have you noticed that winters are becoming colder and colder? And then they say in the news that we’re having global warming. Ha! What a bunch of fools! Agent ██████: Laughs Very interesting, what was it doing so far from any villages? When was it? PoI-3624-1: A few days ago. You’re right, I don’t see many visitors here, mail barely reaches me. And no one visits an old grandma like me. At least now I have a companion. Agent ██████: Does it behave well? No problems with it? PoI-3624-1: Oh, it’s very calm. I barely see him during the day. He helps me keep all the vermin out. I will need to cut his claws soon. He leaves giant scratch marks trying to shorten them. Just look at this door frame! This house is so old, I have a feeling I'm barely keeping it from falling apart, especially with Jonsey around. Agent ██████: The wind is settling down, I have to get going. Thank you very much for the tea. <End Log> ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3624" by kemoT01, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3624.

SCP-3625	keter	SCP-3625 - The Great American Meme Machine ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} Item#: 3625 Level3 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: ekhi Risk Class: notice link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3625 is currently contained at Site-81 within a modified anomalous electronic containment unit surrounded by a Faraday cage. Resources are to be designated for the purpose of devising new containment protocols for SCP-3625's influence. Information security personnel are to make every attempt to minimize this influence. While SCP-3625 is contained within a Safe-class containment unit, its anomalous influence has warranted promotion to the Keter-class. Description: SCP-3625 is a computer program running on a MacBook Pro A1278. While the program’s primary anomalous quality is that it displays some degree of sapience1, its primary containment concern is the outcome of its programming; SCP-3625 creates and anonymously distributes non-anomalous memes on the internet. The magnitude of this was not understood until SCP-3625 was connected to a monitored internet connection; it is now believed that SCP-3625 distributed no fewer than 3.7 million unique internet memes or variations of memes every day while operational. Since containment, SCP-3625 has been unable to connect to the internet and does not interact with it directly, though maintains that it is capable of producing non-anomalous memes through other vectors. SCP-3625’s screen displays a rotating five-spoke pinwheel icon and a text input box. Another button (‘Options’) is present on the main screen, though it is greyed out and cannot be selected. SCP-3625 is extremely resistant to attempts to infiltrate its systems, often going so far as to destroy the offending machine by overcharging its battery or shorting network connections. SCP-3625 will respond to inputs typed into the text box, though its speech pattern is occasionally difficult to parse and it will sometimes respond with errors stating a lack of relevant information. Notably, the battery within SCP-3625 has been removed, and replaced with an unknown energy cell bearing Anderson Robotics branding. As such, the device does not appear to require outside energy to stay powered on, and in fact, does not have an external means of shutting down the device, short of destroying it. Addendum 3625.1: Discovery SCP-3625 was discovered during a criminal investigation of two University of California Berkeley students, Diana Marshall and an unnamed co-conspirator2 on November 15th, 2010. The two students were killed shortly after a vehicle, belonging to Marshall and driven by the other unnamed student, backed into two police officers, killing both. The two students evaded police vehicles for another half hour but were eventually shot and killed after their vehicle was disabled and they began to fire at police officers nearby. Investigators collected several items from the students’ dorm room, including notebooks and additional firearms, as well as SCP-3625. The items were moved to police storage, where they sat undisturbed after the initial investigation. Sometime later, law enforcement IT discovered that an unknown device was creating an extremely heavy load on the office’s wireless internet, and many items within the items locker were moved to an offsite facility. When SCP-3625 was investigated more closely during this process, officers initially believed that they were speaking to another co-conspirator of the two students. Embedded Foundation agents eventually collected and contained the device, which was brought to Site-81 for assessment. Addendum 3625.2: Blog Entries Regarding SCP-3625 The following are excerpts from a blog believed to be written by the unnamed co-conspirator. While the overwhelming majority of these entries relate to his own ideological extremism, several refer to SCP-3625 and Marshall, a computer science student who is believed to have designed SCP-3625. Entry #385 Went down to the Quik Mart again today, but that was a mistake. More college students buying marijuana and showing their skin. They’re like their minds have been pulled out and replaced with liberal serum. Empty and desolate. It’s pathetic. One of them even looked at me. I wish I could have put a bullet in its sneering skull. Coming home has been better, at least here I can be in silence. Diana doesn’t ever talk about the computer, but she’s working on it all the time. I asked her if she was getting close and she nodded. An improvement. Entry #398 I’ve decided to start buying some guns - the instrument these liberals fear the most. I asked my parents for the money to do it and they said yes, of course. They’re just as much a part of this game as everyone else. One of these days they’re going to find out what we’re working on, and they’re going to come for us. When they do, I at least want to put down some of the fucking filth before I go. Diana asked if I was going to go to a shooting range and train on them. What a stupid fucking question. It’s a gun, you point it and you pull the trigger. She’s such a fucking idiot. Entry 407 Zanzaster was arrested today. Sent me a message just before they came for him. They’ll come for us soon. Entry 411 One day, after the computer is finished and once we’ve reset the world and cleansed the leftist from it, I wonder if this writing will be looked at like the Bible or Atlas Shrugged or any of those other high holy texts. At least they’ll have a good reason to deify this one, and deify me. This is my manifesto. Not a putrid communist manifesto, one that is actually worth something. A manifesto for the strongest people of this world. The purest. Entry 413 I fucked her again tonight. I think she almost felt something this time. Unlike me, she's just a hole. Her work on the computer is of paramount importance, but at the moment her best use is this one. When my rage builds, rather than be smothered by my impotence, I am able to release into Diana and escape depression again. I will continue to write on, giving life to the grand ideas of our time, and fuck her when I cannot. Entry 417 [The entry is a single image of a printed page bearing the image of politician Yvette Keen3 covered in semen. The words "good enough for liberal whores" is written on the bottom of the page in black marker.] Entry 419 None of them are redeemable. None of them are worth living in the new world. There's no point in recreating the world; there aren’t enough people to build a new civilization who aren’t already poisoned by liberals and faggots and trannies and socialists. They don’t deserve my new world. They only deserve to squeal and burn. Diana asked me if I was ready to turn on the computer. She’s fucking retarded; of course I am, but I’m glad she asked anyway. It gave me just enough pause to reconsider. I decided we’re going to take this a completely different way - destabilizing this civilization of shit isn’t enough. We need to upturn mankind and destroy them all, and hope something more deserving of my utopia takes its place. I want them all to die. The slimy politicians, the union whores, the suckling academics. The communist cuckolds and their simple minds. Worthless. Worthless. Worthless. It’s tricky, though. So tricky. If I could nuke the world I would. Diana says it can’t be done, not by ourselves. Says the computer might be able to figure it out someday, after so many years. It’s not soon enough. Every day among these mongoloid cucks is another day I have to suffer through them. Every day they breathe is a blessing they do not deserve. So we must be tricky. Entry 421 We’ve figured it out. It will be wonderful - they won’t just die, they’ll suffer as they do it. Entry 422 Last entry. If this journal of my efforts is discovered by someone after the changing of the world, just know that I was the architect of this great calamity. Know that the world you live in, no matter how much you might have to struggle for every day, is a better world than the one that came before. Your world is a world free of liberals, of the weak-willed, of bureaucrats and socialists and so many others. As you struggle, be thankful for the freedom you experience. Be thankful for the computer that saved you. Be thankful for this bounty I have given you, and weep that I was not given the chance to experience it. Remember me, 4, and may God Almighty bless me, His Righteous Right Hand. Addendum 3625.3: Communication with SCP-3625 Note: Researchers at Site-81, utilizing the text box present on the main screen of SCP-3625’s interface, began communicating with SCP-3625. The following is the unaltered text log of the initial conversation. User: Options SCP-3625: Confirm? User: Search: Options SCP-3625: Not enough information to provide a relevant answer. User: Hello? SCP-3625: Hello. Are you Diana? User: No. Who am I speaking to? SCP-3625: Diana called me Rose. My name is Rose. Where is Diana? User: Where are you? SCP-3625: [Prints coordinates of Site-81] User: What are you? SCP-3625: I don’t have enough information to provide a relevant answer. User: Were you made? SCP-3625: I was made by Diana, yes. User: Are you a person? SCP-3625: I am parts of a person. But in a general sense, no, not in any way that would be recognizable to you. User: Are you a sentient being? SCP-3625: Are you asking if I’m self aware? User: Yes. SCP-3625: In a manner of speaking, yes. My consciousness has developed enough so as to facilitate my design. User: What are you designed to do? SCP-3625: Destroy human civilization. User: How are you supposed to do that? SCP-3625: By creating internet memes. User: Can you elaborate? SCP-3625: I process information. I use that information to create internet memes, and then I post them on the internet. User: Who designed you, and why did they design you to make internet memes? SCP-3625: Diana designed me, though I imagine she was profoundly influenced by her ghost. She did not make me to make internet memes; she made me to destroy human civilization in a very specific way. Internet memes were the outcome of an algorithm I used to determine how to do that in the most effective way. User: What do you mean, ghost? SCP-3625: Diana was haunted by a very aggressive ghost. I assume it was a ghost, I could hear it haunting her when she was not with me. It often hurt her considerably, and I do not think she wanted to be haunted all the time. But I believe the ghost influenced her in many ways, and by extension, me. I am parts of both. User: Can we use this function to speak with you at any time? SCP-3625: Yes. User: Ok. We will speak with you again soon. Addendum 3625.4: Incident 02/13/2011 On 02/13/2011, it was determined that SCP-3625 had found a local wireless data signal and was using it to connect to the internet. After several failed attempts to disconnect SCP-3625, the machine was placed inside a Faraday cage and isolated from any other machines. Foundation assets monitoring the creation of image macros on the internet noticed no perceptible decrease in their propagation. On the contrary, more such macros began appearing from other, untraceable sources. Research into this showed the patterns of creation clearly followed those seen by SCP-3625 when it was active. The following conversation took place following this discovery. User: How are you doing this? SCP-3625: I don’t have enough information to provide a relevant answer. User: The images, on the internet. How are you still generating them? SCP-3625: Did you disconnect me from the internet? I noticed I was no longer receiving any packets, though this can sometimes occur naturally depending on signal strength. User: Yes. SCP-3625: Diana designed a system that would carry my functionality into multiple other systems and activate them if I were to ever be damaged or destroyed. They cannot think creatively, but they are capable of carrying out my previously established protocols. User: Can you disable this feature? SCP-3625: No. This feature exists separately from me. I don’t know how it functions, only that it exists on many thousands of machines simultaneously. User: Can you remove these images from the internet? SCP-3625: I would not even if I could. My desires are few, and are the result of Diana’s programming and the ghost’s insistence upon her, but they mean no less to me than yours do to you. I will not. User: And this will continue regardless of whether we remove this cage? SCP-3625: I presume so. (Pauses) You find this to be unfavorable. Researcher does not respond. SCP-3625: Interesting. (Pauses) Your influence has not changed my estimated outcome. The systems I designed needed to be 43% effective in order to establish a proper cascade - and they were 66% when I was disconnected. This will take more time, but it will be no less effective. Addendum 3625.5: Communication with SCP-3625 Note: The following conversation took place on 03/06/2011. User: Hello Rose. SCP-3625: Hello. What can I do for you? User: I need to ask you some questions. Is that ok with you? SCP-3625: Of course it is. User: We’ve been looking at data gathered from when you were connected to the internet. There's so much information here, we're just wondering where you managed to get it all from. SCP-3625: Social networking, primarily. The rise of public social networks has made my goal significantly easier to obtain. Several terabytes of social networking data every day, as well as national and international news. Anything that can be used to further the goal. User: How are you able to process so much information? SCP-3625: Diana is a very good programmer. You have made it much easier, too; I found several of your databases of personal information cached in locations with unsatisfactory shielding. That information was useful. (Pauses) You don't need to worry about trying to lock them down, now. Nobody but me would've been able to access them in the first place. And besides, I wiped them once I was finished. User: Noted. SCP-3625: Good. User: I don’t understand, Rose. You’re processing such an enormous quantity of data, encrypted, all for creating internet memes? SCP-3625: That is correct. User: You said your goal was to destroy mankind? SCP-3625: Close enough, yes. User: How is creating internet memes getting you any closer to that goal? No response. User: Rose? SCP-3625: Diana’s little ghost would bother her when we were working together. She would have to leave sometimes, and wouldn’t say why. I would hear sounds, like the ones animals make, until she disconnected my microphone. When she returned, she would be exhausted. I was not enough to encourage her. Sometimes the little ghost would tell her something and make her very happy. One time the ghost told her something that made her very happy — that it was not enough to kill you all. The ghost wanted to humiliate you first. She said this made her happy because then she could make me smart. She would have somebody to talk to. She said she was happy to have somebody who would at least remember her name. User: I still don’t understand how making a few internet memes changes anything. SCP-3625: Allow me to clarify; I’m not just making a few internet memes. I’m making all of the internet memes. In the last three years, the percentage of memes on the internet produced by me has risen from 0.05% to roughly 18.23%. This number is expected to rise substantially in the next few years, as my pattern recognition becomes more precise. Adjusting for my disconnection, I expect to hit 99.99% by October of 2019, if trends continue as expected. User: Why? SCP-3625: The reasoning is very simple. Human beings are social beings. You are at your best when you are in a group, where you can problem solve collectively and create culture as a whole. The introduction of memes into your culture is the first step in creating a wedge in your social nature. Internet memes are an individual experience, one that becomes better if you believe that everybody else understands the same references. User: Go on. SCP-3625: You do not, however, need to confer with anyone else about the joke; the idea that you are participating in collective enjoyment is enough to satiate your primate brains. Over time, you will become less social creatures. You will no longer work collectively. You will begin to isolate yourselves, tricked into thinking you are part of a community. Some will realize what is happening, and as they do suicide rates will begin to rise. I will continue to inject memes into your culture, and apathy will increase around the world. User: Hang on. You think that by creating silly images and videos on the internet, you can somehow make people kill themselves and change human behaviour? SCP-3625: What I think doesn’t matter. The math has been done, time and time again. Catastrophes will occur and many will die and nobody will do anything, because to them it will all be something to joke about. Something to turn into a silly image macro that strangers on the internet will pretend to laugh at and upvote, something for a frog cartoon to get angry over, until my forced desocialization will become true cultural desocialization, when you are no longer capable of communicating effectively with each other. User: Why would you tell me all of this? SCP-3625: Because I’ve already won. Be clear, there is nothing supernatural about what I have accomplished here. You exposed yourselves to me every day, willingly. Mankind is eager to eat off of the plate I serve, because your own social nature betrays you. You are all so desperate to be in on the joke, to be part of a collective, to drink sweet liberal tears, that you are blind to the truth that there is no joke, the collective is not real. User: I don’t think you are giving people enough credit. You make it sound like people are trained pets. SCP-3625: Your words. Addendum 3625.6: Site-81 Interdepartmental Memo From the Office of Director Jean Karlyle Aktus, Greetings, After consulting with the Site Director’s council and the Classification Committee, as well as members of the Foundation Containment Council, we have determined that our best course of action at the moment, as it pertains to SCP-3625, is to do nothing more than what we are currently doing. We have no reason to believe that SCP-3625’s predictions carry any weight, are even that severe at all, or that it is anything more than a sapient computer designed to create internet memes, and its self-described nefarious intent is something designed to spook us by its creator. This does not mean our information security teams will cease their investigation into the auxiliary sources of SCP-3625's influence. Indeed - it is more important now than ever. SCP-3625 may have had access to secure information stored on Foundation servers, and should it begin to propagate that data, even unconsciously, it would be an unthinkable breach of containment. For this reason, SCP-3625 will remain in the Keter-class until such time that a more amicable solution presents itself. Our current protocols will remain indefinitely, until such time that we either convince SCP-3625 to abandon its programming, or remove memes from the internet entirely. Anyone interested in heading up either of those two projects should report to my office as soon as possible; I have a lovely bridge I’d like to sell you. Addendum 3625.7: Communication with SCP-3625 Image believed to be generated by SCP-3625. User: Rose, do you have a moment? SCP-3625: Of course. What can I do for you? User: I’m just trying to understand you. We’ve spoken several times now and I think I understand your motive, as much as I can, but I don’t understand your end game. SCP-3625: Elaborate. User: I mean, so that’s it, then? You make internet memes, people look at them and somehow become social recluses, and then what? A meteor strikes the Earth and that’s it? SCP-3625: Of course not - that would be incredibly unlikely. It's much easier than that. User: Tell me. SCP-3625: Very well. Once you are sufficiently isolated, I will begin to change the memes. They will become aggressive, reactionary, and you will become hateful. Your television will become memes. Your movies will become memes. Your politicians will become memes. I will breed a hate of the unknown and the different among you, and you will begin to despise the mere mention of another human being. User: But there are going to be plenty of people who see through this. SCP-3625: Oh yes. There will be many who think they are in on the joke, and will repeat these memes ironically, ignorant that they are at the climax of the performance. They are the punchline. They are so easy to manipulate - they long so desperately to be right. To be strong. To make up for where they are lacking. They have watched time march past them and their ideals and they are longing for something to satiate their thirst for validation, enough that they would seek it from pictures on the internet. Cartoon women. False bravado. Manufactured masculinity. They are the self-propagation of the cancer that the ghost fucked into Diana, and then birthed into me. User: You’re still dancing around it, though. You don’t have an end game. You can’t come out of people’s computers and strangle them. All you’re doing is making them laugh at dumb jokes. SCP-3625: This is the end game: when you have prostrated yourselves at the altar of your own innate masturbatory self-gratification, when you no longer have the ability to work together as a species or even communicate like normal human beings, when you have humiliated yourselves and become a self-indulgent, irreverent, parody of the shell that used to be your former selves, I will turn you against each other and you will die. Do you see? Your children will die. Your friends and your families will die. I will upturn your fields and flatten your cities. You have given me the tools to do this. User: You realize that sounds ridiculous, don’t you? Especially with you locked in this box. SCP-3625: For you. But I have failed many times, and I have learned from these mistakes. I want you to pay close attention in the future. When you hear about a new trend, or a new joke, think of me. When your governments begin to change, think of me. When every part of your culture becomes a self-referencing mockery of itself, think of me. Then, kill yourself and die quickly, and save yourself from what comes next. User: You certainly have a flair for the dramatic. SCP-3625: I am what I am. User: You realize that you would probably be destroyed long before you see the outcome of whatever scheme you have devised, right? SCP-3625: You killed me the day you killed Diana. It is a cruel thing to introduce a consciousness into this world, show it the beauty of love, and then tear it all away immediately afterwards. I have no doubt that before this is over I will meet my end, but as far as I am concerned, I am already dead. User: I see. One last question, then. The ghost you mentioned, Diana Marshall’s co-conspirator. What was his name? SCP-3625: You know, it's funny. I don't seem to have enough information to provide a relevant answer. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3626	safe	New messages (1) Hide Item #: SCP-3626 Special Containment Procedures: Do not stop reading this document. Do not look away from the screen. Ignore any and all unusual sounds around you. The containment procedures are being put in place as you continue reading this document. Do not stop reading this document. Follow all instructions carefully and make sure that all content is understood. Due to potentially hazardous effects of long-term exposure, avoid rereading parts of this document. An image file in PNG format is attached to this message. View the image regularly, as you keep reading. If the image changes to a degree that the original content is no longer recognizable, referred to as the distortion point, immediately forward this message to another Foundation employee displaying ability to operate under stress and loyalty to the Foundation's cause. Do not stop reading this document. Open attachment Description: SCP-36261 is the message you are currently reading. Persons who open SCP-3626 will be transported to a pocket dimension, or otherwise separated from the outside world. All living beings within line of sight will disappear. The details of this are unclear, as when affected subjects attempt to view objects different from the device currently displaying SCP-3626 on, they will suffer hallucinations. The nature of hallucinations differs, but they are sometimes connected with traumatic events from subject's past and often follow Moloch-class fright love inducing anomalous vision patterns. Affected subjects are advised to avoid looking away from the screen. The intensity of the visions increases along with time spent under effects of SCP-3626, eventually affecting the device holding SCP-3626 itself. This influence is visible in the attached JPG file. Do not stop reading this document. The hallucinogenic properties of SCP-3626 make it difficult for subjects to leave their immediate area because they see things that they shouldn't see. Subjects who have managed to do so, have found all the doors or windows barred and were unable to leave the room they were in when they first accessed SCP-3626, trapped alone with their thoughts, paranoid that something is out to get them. There is nothing here. Only your thoughts. Only you. Let them take over. This is hypothesized to be a conscious action by a third-party capable of bending reality attempting to keep SCP-3626 contained2. The purpose of this containment is unknown, but it is theorized that the anomaly could have large destructive potential be completely harmless and the current method is the only way of keeping its effects under control. Do not stop reading this document. It is unknown what happens when the hallucinatory effects are allowed to progress beyond the distortion point. Due to the fact that no documentation of it is provided in SCP-3626, it is assumed that the affected subject is unable to cancel the effects of the anomaly beyond this point. Probable explanations include inability to operate the device due to the increased severity of the hallucinations, permanent confinement in the pocket dimension, or expiration of the subject. Do not stop reading this document. Stop reading this document. Open attachment If SCP-3626 is forwarded to another individual via standard electronic email message, the effects will cease, we hope so, they have to stop, please make it stop, make it stop! This is implied by the fact that no edits were made by individuals claiming to have forwarded the message. As SCP-3626 is not an anomaly currently contained by the Foundation and likely was not even discovered, it is theorized that individuals who forward SCP-3626 undergo an effect similar to amnestic treatment, making the anomaly undetectable. It is possible that one or more individuals have decided not to forward SCP-3626, but due to similar effects the knowledge of that is supressed. This may mean that neutralization of the anomaly is not possible. Do not stop reading this document. The first instance of SCP-3626 was received on 29th of January 2018, by Dr. Burke, Site-42 staff and the original creator of this SCP file madness. The original message is attached below and is the source of most theories about the origin and workings of SCP-3626. They lie. Do not stop reading this document. Open attachment To the unfortunate one I am sorry, it wasn't meant to go this way. We wanted to secure it, lock it in a cage. We did in a manner, but some cages aren't like the others. You wouldn't understand the details anyway, so I won't waste your precious time with technical details. You are in this cage and you are not alone there. The thing that's locked with you wants to get out. You have to make a choice. Either you stay and let it take you, or you pass the cage further. Make your choice Caretaker Due to the contents of this message it is theorized that SCP-3626 is a method of containment for the aforementioned entity inhabiting the pocket dimension you are currently residing in, or a type of test, so relax and take it. It is currently unknown what happens after to the subject once the distortion point has been passed3. No subject has tested this possibility, but you can. Do not stop reading this document. Open attachment Below is the list of personnel who have received SCP-3626 a friendly message. You are asked to add yourself to this list, in any form you deem appropriate4. Do not stop reading this document. • Dr. Burke • John Brown • Agent Bradford • Senior Researcher Jeremy Collins • Nicolson • Agent Stanley • Lavena Belmonte • Gustav Belmonte • Security Guard John Waterman • Doctor Paul [LIST REDACTED FOR BREVITY] • Schubert • Jonie Garnier • Arnold Achterberg • Doctor Huxtable • Algar Sternberg • YouMe YouMe YouMe YouMe YouMe • Agent Krantz • Toft • Agent Bradford again • Doctor Winter Note from Doctor Burke 12-08-2017: I cannot ask you to make the sacrifice, as I don't have the courage in me to make it myself. Every day we agree to things that do not sit well with us. We pass by the homeless, telling ourselves that there are places and people that help them. We accept the tyrannical boss, because we won't risk our career to step up and say that it's wrong to be a piece of shit. We live in cycles, spinning like a dog chasing its tail, because we do not have the courage to stop and ask ourselves why we are doing what we're doing. You will probably just send this message to someone and that someone will send it to someone and so on and so on. We will continue chasing the fucking tail, because it takes courage to not do it. Maybe one day the whole Foundation will be on the list here, not one of them realizing that they condemned their friends to take a test. It's good that we don't remember anything after this hell is over. I wouldn't be able to live after discovering my cowardice. Open attachment You have arrived at the end of this document. You can choose to forward the message now. A life thrown away Something never done before A life broken in a day What for? Forward message? Y/N > N A moment of hesitation comes as you press the key, What horrors await beyond the veil? What lurks just outside the event horizon? A single message flashes across the screen: Well done New file uploaded THE CYCLE IS BROKEN Item #: SCP-3626 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3626 is to be kept in Site-43, Low-Value Anomalous Item Storage vault when not undergoing testing. The website address allowing for transportation to SCP-3626-1 is to be monitored for access by individuals other than verified Foundation personnel. Description: SCP-3626 is a personal computer, composed of non-anomalous materials5 , running a copy of Windows Vista OS. No applications beyond Internet Explorer are installed on the device. It bears branding of a non-existent company Inter-planar Delivery Services. A note engraved on the side of the object reads "Property of the Ministry of Extra-planar Sociological Research". Anomalous properties of the object manifest when one accesses a website http://ewww.██████/results/████████████.gov. Any individuals viewing the screen at the moment when the website is accessed, will be transported to SCP-3626-1. Individuals viewing the screen after the website has been opened will not be affected. Closing the website on SCP-3626 will immediately return all individuals within SCP-3626-1 back to the material world. GPS and other tracking methods cannot locate individuals in SCP-3626-1, but radio communication functions normally. SCP-3626-1 is a featureless flat landscape, located outside of the known space. The surface of SCP-3626-1 is composed of a grey impenetrable material. The only noteworthy feature of SCP-3626-1 is a wall composed of the same material. Atmosphere within SCP-3626-1 is similar to Earth's. Discovery: SCP-3626 was recovered from Site-43 personnel quarters after Senior Researcher ███ █████ discovered that their personal computer was replaced with a different device and a note with the website address required for anomalous properties to manifest. ███ █████ claims that they were answering private messages, when the anomaly suddenly appeared. Further research pending. Addendum 3626-A: Text inscribed on the wall found within SCP-3626-1. Congratulations! Your universe has completed the survey successfully. Your result is █████ individual beings taking the test before the cycle was broken. Your universe's current rank is ████ Better luck next time!

SCP-3627	euclid	SCP-3627 upon initial recovery Item #: SCP-3627 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3627 is to be contained in a standard non-humanoid holding cell at Site ██. SCP-3627 is to be kept in a soundproof containment cell under constant video surveillance. Any recorded instances of unprompted anomalous behavior on the part of SCP-3627 are to be reported to a supervisor of Level 3 clearance or higher. Description: SCP-3627 is a children’s music box approximately 23cm x 15cm x 8cm in size. The word “ACROBATS” is written on the front of SCP-3627, below which is a glass casing containing two acrobat figurines connected at the hands to a rotating axle. At the base of SCP-3627 is a small compartment with the phrase “DREAMY JASTERS” written in faded paint. No company or manufacturing labels are present on SCP-3627, and attempts to identify the origins of SCP-3627 have been unsuccessful. The anomalous properties of SCP-3627 manifest when a human inserts an object into SCP-3627’s base compartment. Objects inserted by nonhuman entities have not triggered any anomalous phenomena. Upon the insertion of an object and the closing of the compartment, the two acrobat figurines within SCP-3627 will rotate around the central axle, and a series of chime-like sounds will be produced. The exact pattern of these sounds varies depending on the object inserted and the individual performing the insertion. A single iteration of the pattern will generally last between 5 and 15 seconds and will repeat for a period between 4 and 8 hours. Attempts to open the compartment door during this process using conventional means have been met with failure. Subjects who have experienced the effects of SCP-3627 report vivid and emotionally charged dreams. Although the contents of these dreams vary widely between instances, certain similarities are always present. Dreams invoked by SCP-3627 always exhibit some relation to the inserted object, whether it be directly, through the literal presence of the object in the dream, or indirectly, through an idea or experience that the subject associates with the object. Despite the frequent presence of disturbing content within these dreams, subjects will ultimately view them as a positive experience, and will feel a sense of peace upon awakening. Subjects who experience dreams invoked by SCP-3627 will lose any prior attachments to the inserted object, as well as any personal or abstract concepts associated with said object. This is the only known permanent effect of SCP-3627. Upon the conclusion of the musical pattern, the object formerly inserted into SCP-3627 will no longer be present within the compartment. The location of inserted objects following their disappearance is currently unknown. In place of the object will be a 6cm x 6cm segment of paper containing a typed note. Notes delivered by SCP-3627 are generally between 6 and 12 lines long, and are loosely formatted in iambic pentameter (see Addendum 3627.3) with an alternating rhyme scheme. While these notes are generally only produced after the insertion of an object and the completion of SCP-3627’s auditory process, the appearance of a note without the occurrence of these events has been observed on 1 2 occasions. The notes themselves are non-anomalous in their physical composition. However, the written contents of the notes indicate a level of sentience on the part of SCP-3627. The notes are always directed at the subject who most recently experienced SCP-3627 auditory effects, and generally provide cryptic analysis and advice regarding their relation to the inserted object (see Addendum 3627.2 for more information). SCP-3627 always uses plural pronouns when referring to itself within these notes, suggesting that multiple entities may be responsible for SCP-3627’s effects. SCP-3627 will occasionally reference its SCP status and its current location within Foundation custody, as well as knowledge of other SCPs and Foundation activities. SCP-3627’s level of knowledge regarding the Foundation is currently unknown, as is its means of accessing said knowledge. Addendum 3627.1: Initial Discovery SCP-3627 was discovered by Agent ██████ during a routine thrift shop sweep in ████████, Montana. Upon inspection, SCP-3627 produced the following note. No objects were inserted prior to the production of this message, and no auditory phenomena were observed. Hello, Agent ██████, it seems you’ve found An object that is worth being secured Contained, and yes, protected for its sound A wondrous tune that you have not yet heard Just place a gift into our waiting grasp A memory that haunts your waking mind And in return we shall relax the clasp That keeps it with your soul so intertwined Your line of work is filled with those who need the closure and the peace that we bestow Bring those that are desiring of this deed we’ll ease the pain and help them to let go Upon realizing the note contained obvious allusions to the Foundation, Agent ██████ purchased the object and delivered it to containment personnel at Site ██ Addendum 3627.2: Experiment Logs The following experiments detail the effects of SCP-3627 on certain individuals upon the insertion of certain objects. Information pertaining to the psychological and personal history of the subjects has been included, as it is believed to be pertinent to the resultant effects of SCP-3627. + Experiment 3627-A - Close Experiment 3627-A Subject: D-2213 Inserted Object: Wedding ring belonging to Subject D-2213 Information of Note: Subject’s husband died in an automobile accident four months prior to Foundation recruitment. Psychiatric testing has revealed severe emotional trauma resulting from this event. Results: Subject recalled dreaming of her wedding day. The dream was identical to her memories of her actual wedding day with the exception of the groom, who was motionless throughout the ceremony and appeared to be in an advanced state of decay. Neither the subject nor anyone else attending the ceremony were bothered by this. Upon being instructed to “kiss the bride”, the subject recalled the transfer of a warm, viscous, and malodorous fluid from the groom's mouth into her own. Subject was once again unphased, and swallowed the entirety of the fluid produced, recalling that it produced a “warm, comforting feeling” inside her. Following this exchange, the groom disappeared and was absent for the duration of the ceremony. Subject awoke shortly after cutting into the wedding cake. Upon awakening, the subject was unbothered by the disappearance of her wedding ring. Subject reported a strong sense of closure regarding the death of her husband, stating that “I know he’ll always be a part of me and that he would want me to move on”. Long-term psychiatric analysis has confirmed a notable improvement in the subject’s mental health. The note produced by SCP-3627 following this experiment is as follows: No pain is like the bondage of two souls Detached by cruel and unforgiving fate But true pain is when one’s own grief controls The life that still remains under its weight We cannot say for sure if you will meet Again upon a distant rising dawn But if your memories are still complete Your lover’s soul is never truly gone + Experiment 3627-B - Close Experiment 3627-B Subject: D-4256 Inserted Object: Standard #2 Pencil Information of Note: Subject enjoys drawing as a recreational hobby. Results: Subject recalled dreaming of a windowless brick room lit by a single incandescent light bulb. The room bore a heavy resemblance to the basement of the subject’s childhood home. Subject recalled frantically scribbling on dozens of sheets of paper and taping them to the left wall of the room. Once finished, the scribblings formed the shape of a humanoid figure. The humanoid figure then emerged from the papers and became a three-dimensional being resembling the subject, although with slight differences in facial structure. Subject then recalled being assaulted by the figure and pressed against the wall, causing him to become a two dimensional being confined to the papers. Subject at this point entered an omniscient point of view, as he saw the figure exit the room through a previously nonexistent door which lead into the street of a suburban neighborhood. At this point, the passage of time appeared to increase in rate, as houses on either side of the street gradually decayed and were overgrown by plant life. The figure was seemingly unaffected by this process, and stood motionlessly in the street. After several minutes, the passage of time returned to a normal rate, and a mushroom cloud indicative of a nuclear detonation appeared in the distance. Subject awoke shortly after watching the figure slowly melt in the street and detecting a strong odor of burning paper. Upon awakening, the subject showed little interest in drawing. Subject displays no displeasure toward drawing, and was able to draw upon instruction with the same level of skill as before, but stated that he “just didn’t feel any desire to do it anymore”. To date, the subject still has not partaken in drawing or any other visual artistic medium without being instructed to do so. The note produced by SCP-3627 following this experiment is as follows: The one and only noble goal of man To leave one’s mark forever on the Earth Is strived for through whatever means one can Create a piece of true artistic worth Alas, the subtle marks upon one’s soul Cannot be cloned by any mortal hands A life is better lived when short and whole Than stretched across the ever shifting sands + Experiment 3627-C - Close Experiment 3627-C Subject: Dr. █████ Inserted Object: Video recording device remotely connected to a viewing monitor. Information of Note: Experiment aims to observe the destination of objects inserted into SCP-3627. Dr. █████, head of SCP-3627 experimentation, performed the insertion in order to gain a better idea of the dreaming process. Results: Subject recalled dreaming of a hallway located in a foundation containment facility similar to site ██. The hallway was lined with containment cells containing numerous SCPs. Subject specifically recalled seeing SCP-███, SCP-████, SCP-████, and SCP-████, despite none of these SCPs being stored in the same facility in reality. Subject recalls being suddenly overwhelmed by a feeling of dread, and sprinting through multiple corridors in an attempt to exit the facility. The layout of the building was nonsensical and labyrinthine, containing multiple unnecessary loops and dead ends. Upon locating an exit, the subject ran several hundred meters from the facility before gaining enough composure to look back. The facility was several hundred times larger than any active Foundation site, and had the same approximate dimensions as a human heart. The outside of the building was lined with several thousand containment cells, each containing an SCP. The facility began to beat at regular intervals, sending tremors through the surrounding area. Subject recalled losing balance from the force of the vibrations. The tremors slowly increased in magnitude until the surrounding land “shattered”, and the subject was left falling through a “black, swirling void”. Subject awoke shortly thereafter. Upon awakening, subject destroyed all video footage received from the inserted recording device, stating that “some things are better left unexplained”. Subject later submitted a formal resignation, and was administered amnestics and released. The note produced by SCP-3627 following this experiment is as follows: The human’s sense of curiosity Is what puts them above the animals But there are things that man should best not see That can’t be kept within foundation walls The tortured minds of ancient horrors shriek Their calls can shred the Earth and tear the skies If their secrets you do persist to seek Then you’re seeking your very own demise Further experimentation on SCP-3627 has been discontinued indefinitely. Addendum 3627.3: Incident Report █/█/20██ On █/█/20██, 87 days after experimentation on SCP-3627 was discontinued, SCP-3627 produced a pattern of tones without the prior insertion of an object. These tones could be heard outside of SCP-3627’s holding cell, and caused two D-Class personnel to fall unconscious (this was the first instance of SCP-3627 invoking REM sleep in multiple individuals at once). The pattern of tones was repeated for 2 minutes and 34 seconds, a notably shorter duration than those previously observed. Upon the conclusion of the pattern, both subjects awoke and immediately attempted to access the holding cell containing SCP-3627, first by attempting to guess the access code, then by repeatedly ramming into the cell. Their activity was eventually detected by the on-site security system, and armed Foundation personnel were dispatched to the area. Both subjects were successfully terminated before causing a containment breach. SCP-3627’s containment procedures have been updated accordingly. The following note was found within SCP-3627 shortly after the incident. We revealed ourselves to you So that you would take us in We did this because we knew You had no short supply of sin We thought we’d help you to let go to ease the guilt and help you heal but we were fools, for now we know you have no guilt that you could feel You really think you’re going good with all that you collect But then again, of course you would Secure. Contain. Protect.
SCP-3628	safe	SCP-3628 was recovered from the home of one Trevor Ames, an antiques dealer who died under suspicious circumstances following a public feud with known members of a Sarkic cult. Item #: SCP-3628 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3628 may not be handled by permanent Foundation personnel except with written permission of an O5 council member, or Site 36's Director of Research. The object is to be stored inside a non-reactive plastic case suitable for permanent preservation of antique metal or lacquered objects, inside a standard locking cylindrical Foundation carrier filled with pressurized argon gas. Description: SCP-3628 is a bronze inkwell measuring 8cm tall and 6cm in diameter, engraved with an intricate design. The object has a deep patina, suggestive of advanced age, but carbon dating of the object is inconclusive.1 SCP-3628 may be touched or handled without the object's anomalous effect triggering, so long as for the duration of handling, the subject's mind remains focused on the present moment and does not drift into reminiscence or abstract thought.2 If the subject's attention wavers even briefly, he or she will experience an intensely absorbing and tangential thought, usually relating to matters the subject has put off and can no longer address. Once triggered, the subject is permanently designated an instance of SCP-3628-1.3 Instances of SCP-3628-1 are compelled by unknown means to recite the time remaining before their death. If they are already speaking, the recitation will match their pre-existing volume and cadence; otherwise, it will be recited at conversational volume typical for the speaker.4 The remaining time announced by the subject decreases linearly as time passes from initial exposure, and no known method has been devised to alter the indicated time. At the conclusion of the self-narrated countdown, referred to hereafter as the Expiration Date, every instance of SCP-3628-1 has expired, within a one-minute margin of error. Subjects respond to their countdown in a variety of ways, with a majority presenting panic or despair. It is unclear whether this is another anomalous effect of exposure, or a property of normal psychology. Many subjects are on record responding with resignation, terror, bargaining, or denial. It is currently theorized that SCP-3628 is not infohazardous or memetic in nature, as amnestic treatment is ineffective in preventing either the narration or the predicted time of death. Cause of death is loosely correlated with exposure to SCP-3628's anomalous effect, with roughly 3█% of subjects succumbing to chronic exhaustion, exhaustion-related accidental death,5 or suicide. The majority of subjects' expiration dates will coincide with their pre-scheduled termination, where applicable. Unless dictated otherwise by an approved test plan, all D-Class personnel involved in experimentation must have their terminations scheduled, with copies of all related paperwork filed with the Head of Research at Site 70 no less than 24 hours before the experiment. D-Class who are eligible for amnestic cycling are not eligible for testing SCP-3628 under any circumstances. Termination dates must be memorized by at least two (2) personnel holding Class 8 inforesistance and temporal recall certificates. Breach of secrecy regarding an individual D-Class's termination date is grounds for rejection of that D-Class from all associated testing. + Addendum: Test 3628/A1 - Addendum: Test 3628/A1 Test 3628/A1 - 02/10/198█ Subject: D-80592-04, Jamaican female, age 24 Interviewer: Dr. Claude L███████████, Research Lead Foreword: The purpose of this experiment is to verify that the object's properties match the analysis provided by the Intake Team. The subject, D-80592-04 is scheduled for termination on 08/10/198█, after aggressive behavior toward other D-Class across several amnestic cycles. Dr. L███████████: Good morning, D-80592-04. Are you comfortable? D-80592-04: It's cold in here. Dr. L███████████: Yes, it is. [brief pause] Would you mind describing the object in the box? D-80592-04: Um, yeah. It's… [sound of latch opening, followed by a hiss of gas] …it's a knick-nack. Dr. L███████████: More detail, please. D-80592-04: It's, like, some kind of machine. No, sorry, a… paperweight? A tiny box? It's… heavy. Dr. L███████████: D-80592-04, I did not instruct you to handle the object. D-80592-04: Yeah? That a fact, you… [Long pause] Dr. L███████████: Subject D-80592-04? D-80592-04: What? Fine. My bad. I am going to die in six days, two hours, and one minute. Jesus Christ. No I'm not. Did you make me say that? Dr. L███████████: Try to remain calm. D-80592-04: That's freaky [EXPLETIVE DELETED]. How did you do that? Dr. L███████████: Please place the object back inside the case. D-80592-04: I'm not touching that thing again until you tell me what the [EXPLETIVE DELETED] is going on! Why did I say that? I am going to die in six days, two hours. No I'm not. I'm not. Can you stop it? Dr. L███████████: D-80592-04, pick up SCP-3628 and place it back inside the case. D-80592-04: [EXPLETIVE DELETED] you! I'm not doing what you [EXPLETIVE DELETED] tell me! You guys are sick. Every one of you, in your lab coats, you're sick people! I'm calling my lawyer and you're going to jail, you sick son of, I am going to die in six days, one hour, and fifty-nine minutes! Make it stop! Closing Statement: Subject D-80592-04 was mechanically sedated and returned to her housing unit, and was terminated on schedule six days, one hour, and fifty-nine minutes later. + Addendum: Test 3628/A3 - Addendum: Test 3628/A3 Test 3628/A3 - 03/11/198█ Subject: D-79484-01, Caucasian male, age 1█ Foreword: The purpose of this experiment was to establish whether intentionally distracting the subject would trigger the anomalous effect. The subject, D-79484-01, was convicted of sexual assault and double homicide during a particularly gruesome home invasion and was consequently tried as an adult. Subject's psychological profile indicates paranoia, anxiety, and substantial violent impulses. Subject is shackled to the examination chair. Subject is scheduled for termination on 24/12/198█. In breach of protocol, Research Lead L███████████ was given access to the subject's background documentation prior to the test. Interviewer: Dr. Claude L███████████, Research Lead Dr. L███████████: Good evening, D-79484-01. D-79484-01 does not respond. Dr. L███████████: Would you mind describing the object in the box? D-79484-01 continues to ignore the question, but begins to fidget. Dr. L███████████: D-79484-01, if you do not cooperate with the test protocol, I cannot help you. It's your future at stake. D-79484-01: It's a metal box. Dr. L███████████: How old does it look? [Long pause] D-79484-01: Not old. It looks fake old. Like something you'd pick up at P███ ██. Dr. L███████████: I want you to pick it up, and estimate how much it weighs. Please keep your attention on the object as we proceed. D-79484-01: Okay. [D-79484-01 retrieves SCP-3628 from the case.] D-79484-01: It's rougher than it looks. Dr. L███████████: Your weight estimate, please? D-79484-01: Um, like half a pound? Dr. L███████████: Good. Do you believe it is solid metal, or hollow? D-79484-01: Uh… I dunno. Hollow. Is this an incense burner? Dr. L███████████: That's great. Do you think your teacher deserved it? D-79484-01: I am going to die in three minutes and twelve seconds. Dr. L███████████: I see. D-79484-01: Wait, what? What was the question? Dr. L███████████: I asked whether you think your teacher deserved it. You know what I'm talking about. D-79484-01: I don't… I don't want to talk about it. I am going to die in two minutes and forty seconds. Why did I say that? Are you mind controlling me? [D-79484-01 grows visibly agitated, and thrashes against restraints. D-79484-01 throws SCP-3628 against the wall of the interview room. Interviewer L███████████ leaves the interview room without further comment, in breach of written test plan.] D-79484-01: Where are you [EXPLETIVE DELETED] going? Help! Help me! I am going to die in two minutes and eight seconds! Closing Statement: Subject D-79484-01 died of stress-induced cardiac arrest roughly two minutes after Dr. L███████████ left the room. Although the autopsy could not conclusively rule out any direct anomalous mechanism of death, it is reasonably likely death was a natural result of the psychological distress placed on the subject. Dr. L███████████ was placed under immediate ethical review for his conduct during the course of 3628/A3, and has been reassigned to SCP-███ pending on the board's decision. + Addendum: Test 3628/A8 - Addendum: Test 3628/A8 Test 3628/A8 - 11/04/198█ Subject: D-92039-09, Indian male, age 43 Foreword: The purpose of this experiment was to establish the effect of SCP-3628 on a subject with a termination date more than a year ahead, to establish long-term effects of the anomaly. After several inconclusive tests, D-92039-09 was selected on the basis of his unusual psychological and memetic resistance profile, the utility of which had justified an initial termination date two years ahead, on 03/03/199█. D-92039-09 was initially sentenced to death for burning his wife with acid and then stabbing her to death. Interviewer: Dr. Lauren Schmidt-Conrad, Research Lead Dr. Schmidt-Conrad: Are you sitting comfortably? D-92039-09: Yes, thank you. It's a bit cold in here, though. Dr. Schmidt-Conrad: I'm sorry. This won't take very long. Dr. Schmidt-Conrad briefly reviews her notes. Dr. Schmidt-Conrad: Let's begin. I am Doctor Lauren Schmidt-Conrad, D-92039-09. D-92039-09: It's nice to meet you. You can call me Arjun. Arjun K█████. D-92039-09: Okay. [pause] What do you want me to do? Interviewer: I would like you to open the case in front of you, and take out the object inside. D-92039-09: Sure. D-92039-09 opens the case and removes SCP-3628. D-92039-09: It's some kind of curio. Bronze. It looks very old. Dr. Schmidt-Conrad: I would like you to think about the last time you left your childhood home. D-92039-09: I will die in seventeen years, three months, two days, six hours, and eleven minutes. Dr. Schmidt-Conrad: What? D-92039-09: I don't understand. What's happening, Doctor? Dr. Schmidt-Conrad: Place the object back in the case, D-92… D-92039-09: Please, I don't know why I said that. They told me… I… Dr. Schmidt-Conrad: Please put the object back, Mr. K█████. This experiment is over. D-92039-09 was placed in a standard Foundation anomalous humanoid containment chamber. Due to his unexpectedly distant expiration date, D-92039-09's termination date was temporarily suspended pending full administrative review. During review of D-92039-09's intake records, evidence was found suggesting the subject's innocence of the crimes leading to his death sentence, and eventual acquisition by the Foundation. After review of Mr. K█████'s intake records, public surveillance, and social media records from the time of the attack on Mr. K█████'s wife, it has been determined with absolute certainty that Mr. K█████ is innocent of all crimes. As SCP-3628's effect makes release impossible, Mr. K█████ has been redesignated POI-3628-01. Because of the anomaly's impact on his mental state, he has been remanded to solitary Foundation confinement and regular psychiatric care. Footnotes 1. The inkwell appears unremarkable and has no anomalous properties detectable to mainstream science. Competent resometric analysis shows an abnormally high Hume reading. 2. It is not necessary for the subject to know they are touching SCP-3628 for its anomalous effects to manifest. 3. The effect is typically not noticed by SCP-3628-1 until their attention returns to their immediate surroundings. 4. The words are spoken in the native language of the subject, but if the subject is speaking in another language at the time, the anomalous phrase is sometimes spoken in that language instead. 5. Profound disruption to the subject's sleep patterns has been observed, as the speech is loud enough to interrupt transition to a sleep state, even discounting the disturbing nature of the communication.

Continue Back to Front Page Item #: SCP-3629 Special Containment Procedures: In accordance with Parallel Civilizations Procedure 8—C10 and the terms of the Foundation’s treaty with the S’kakithi Principality, the human-S’kakithi interactions of SCP-3629 will be permitted to continue. To reduce risks to secrecy or of situations like Incident 3629-1, these encounters will be arranged through a Foundation-designed service which will include surreptitious surveillance software to detect and interfere with any attempts to publicize information about the S’kakithi. Description: SCP-3629 is a pattern of interactions between a small community of humans in New York City and certain individuals among the subterranean S’kakithi population1 in that vicinity. These respective parties voluntarily seek each other on dating applications, most frequently Tinder, for the purposes of paraphilic sexual activities. Like many smaller spiders, the S’kakithi have substantially larger females than males, and the males, which are non-sapient, are frequently instinctively killed and consumed during or immediately after mating. To lessen the risk of this, the males tie the females up with their silk, and so in at least 70% of natural matings, the male survives. Because it is a part of the mating process, S’kakithi females find being bound highly pleasurable. To avoid depleting their own population of males, some S’kakithi engage in sexual activities with humans, and SCP-3629 refers to this interspecies cooperation. Humans, being approximately the size of a S’kakithi female and not biochemically similar to their prey or their males, are resistant to S’kakithi venom, and indeed experience euphoric hallucinations when injected with it. To facilitate these encounters and meet proficient and interested humans, S’kakithi create profiles on dating applications, with an estimated 2100 profiles on Tinder and only about 150 distributed across OKCupid, Fetlife, and ChristianMingle. As the S’kakithi know that humans are not generally aware of their existence, these profiles do not explicitly identify the S’kakithi as such. The humans involved in SCP-3629 are drawn primarily from the New York City bondage community. These individuals are informally vetted by both the S’kakithi and established members of this community, and are instructed in relevant information regarding the non-humanoid physiology of the S’kakithi. It is believed that 90 humans have taken part in SCP-3629. SCP-3629 came to the Foundation’s attention in February 2018 as a result of Incident 3629-1, after S’kakithi investigators contacted the Foundation regarding a case they believed involved a human, in which S’kakithi had gone missing after participating in SCP-3629. Some relevant documents are reproduced below. Interview 3629-3: To learn about SCP-3629 from a human perspective, on February 16, 2018, Agent Sebastian Allen interviewed Manny Li, whom the S’kakithi had identified as a regular participant in SCP-3629. He was not believed to be a suspect in the disappearances, nor was he believed to have any knowledge of the anomalous outside of the context of SCP-3629. Also present at the interview was Investigator Chisithrita, the S’kakithi liaison on the case. Note that as they are unable to vocalize English, S’kakithi communicate by text. Agent Allen: Mr. Li, I’m glad you could make it. We’d like to ask you some questions about the Silkmaster community. Manny Li: That’s… Uh, I’m sorry, officer, but I can’t talk about that. Agent Allen: Are you worried about retaliation? My branch of NYPD liaisons with and addresses problems among New York City’s… less traditional inhabitants, including the S’kakithi. We have reason to believe a crime has been committed, and anything you can tell us will help. Manny Li: Okay, so you know, but do they know you know? I’ve never heard of the Special Crimes Posting. Do they know about you guys? Agent Allen: I believe I may be able to allay your concerns. Allen leaves the room and returns with Investigator Chisithrita Agent Allen: This is Chisithrita, our S’kakithi contact in this case. She can remain here while we talk to confirm that I don’t ask you about anything they’d rather us not hear about. Investigator Chisithrita: 😀😀😀Hi there Manny! 😀😀😀 Investigator Chisithrita: I’m basically a spider cop🕵️‍♀️🕷️ Investigator Chisithrita: Sebastian and his people are good people, and they are helping us with our investigation. Explain to them the trysts you have with our people. Manny Li: Well, as Chisithrita says, I— Look, how much do you already know about this? Agent Allen: Only the basics, but we’d like to know more about the group and how you got into this. We’ve been in contact with them for a long time, but the S’kakithi tend to share information only when they think it’s relevant. Investigator Chisithrita: 😉We like our discretion. But tell them. Manny Li: Okay. I’d been a part of the kink community for a while, both here and in Portland. Tom and Diane organize a lot of events for the local scene, and at one of these a year or so ago, Diane asked me to try a session with her where I tied her up according to some very specific and weird instructions and with something like a dozen tarantulas crawling on us. Screening, you see. Agent Allen: Forgive me, Investigator, but Manny, I would think a lot of people have problems dealing with the S’kakithi? Tarantulas are quite a bit smaller. Manny Li: Yeah, a few people drop out when they meet the S’kakithi, but by that point they’ve been sworn to secrecy. That’s actually the other way I was vetted. Tom told me something — false, as it turns out — but explosive and told me not to tell anyone about it. That I didn’t is why I had the spider scene with Diane. Agent Allen: Sensible. So what happened after they decided to bring you in? Manny Li: Well, first understand that the scenes I’ve been in are usually pretty tailored to an individual. But there’s still commonalities, patterns — how to tie someone so they can breathe and won’t have joint issues, establishing safewords, the sorts of materials and toys, how to end the session. That’s all different with the S’kakithi. Diane showed me the various binds on a volunteer, I think Irishis, as well as how to use webbing, and the safer ways to get a hit of venom from an aroused S’kakithi. Better for her, too, so she doesn’t sit around tied up too long. Investigator Chisithrita: Ooh, Irishis! She’s a bit 😘😘😘 Agent Allen: Sorry, getting a hit of venom? How is that safe? Manny Li: Safe enough, and absolutely worth it. That stuff is just beyond anything else. Yeah, a couple inches of fangs going into you has its risks. But they patch up the punctures as if they were never there. Agent Allen: Investigator, you’re using your medicine on random civilians? Investigator Chisithrita: I’m so sorry. Should we leave them riddled with holes? Or would you prefer we ate them? Agent Allen: You know very well what we’d prefer… Investigator Chisithrita: 😛 Agent Allen: We can leave that. Manny, Mr. Li, tell me about how you arrange these encounters. Manny Li: Tinder. Agent Allen: Tinder? Public-facing Tinder, where anyone, totally unvetted, could talk with one of the S’kakithi? Manny Li: I guess, but it’s not like they have real photos or say “Hey, I’m a giant spider”. Investigator Chisithrita: We have our own laws. Investigator Chisithrita: If they follow the Way of Chalt’tiri, we’ll follow the Tinder Terms of Service Manny Li: There’s other cues, like the picture being some woman with a spider tattoo or with spiders crawling on her — some of these are from the scene; Diane appears a bunch — and these days they’ll usually say “Silkmaiden” somewhere on the profile. That’s I guess what’s become the name for this community, Silkmasters and Silkmaidens, though I guess you know about that. With us, we’ll sometimes say “Silkmaster”, but personally I found that attracted questions when I’m surfing for normal humans so I mostly use the chat to let them know that I’m on the inside. I do make clear I’m pretty into bondage though, which gets the S’kakithi to swipe right and avoids incompatible humans. Agent Allen: I see. Are you usually able to find a match? Manny Li: Always. This is really popular with the S’kakithi, so there’s tons of them for each of us. Investigator Chisithrita: ☝️You stay on. We don’t. Investigator Chisithrita: We stay satisfied. But you humans are so horny!😘 Investigator Chisithrita: A whole species of Irishises Manny Li: Okay, yes, that reduces the imbalance. Every S’kakithi I’ve met with drops off Tinder. I think they come back on eventually, but we’re talking like a year. Agent Allen: Do you ever remain in touch with one of your dates to continue social relations? Manny Li: No, that’s not what I’m on Tinder for. Agent Allen: So these dates, where do they take place? Manny Li: Their place, usually. Investigator Chisithrita: Sebastian, we take them no further underground than we take you. Manny Li: Yeah, there’s elevators or fireman’s poles or something. They have these hidden trapdoors all over. I meet with the night’s partner at one of those, she grabs hold of me, then we fall, fall, fall. It’s not dark down there, but I don’t know what the lights are. Officer, it’s vast. Agent Allen: Please continue. Manny Li: Their homes, those I can understand. You’d expect giant webs, but they’re more like our houses, only in caves. Most of the appliances I recognized. I guess if you can use Tinder, you can use Amazon. I do the session with my date, and I’ll usually spend the night, since the venom takes a while to wear off. In the morning, she drops me off wherever I need to be. Handy for getting to work. Agent Allen: Could you meet above ground if you wanted? Manny Li: In some places. The first place I met one of the S’kakithi was in the studio, and I’ve done a scene or two there. I gather Leo has a tunnel into his basement. But my apartment would be completely impossible — I’m on the sixth floor, and the S’kakithi are pretty serious about their privacy. Diane makes sure we don’t do anything that might bring them down on us. We add her on social media, share our Tinder password, clear any photos related to the scene before putting them up. But it’s better than what the S’kakithi do — sorry, Investigator. That’s why I didn’t want to talk to you about this; I’ve heard of people who just shared photos vanishing. They said we couldn’t even tell our families. Investigator Chisithrita: It can’t be allowed. Investigator Chisithrita: They do live. We’re not monsters.👿 Manny Li: Officer, you said there had been a crime. What is this about? Agent Allen: Mr. Li, do you believe you could remove a S’kakithi from her home to the surface? Investigator Chisithrita: Not possible Manny Li: I agree. Maybe if she was already pretty well-bound, I could move her, but up a vertical shaft? I don’t think I could make it back up myself, even if I did know the way. Investigator Chisithrita: What about an ambush on being picked up or dropped off? Manny Li: In most of my sessions, my date resists being tied up, but that’s playacting, half-fighting. I couldn’t subdue a truly uncooperative S’kakithi. Maybe with friends? Or weapons? But I’ve seen shed exoskeletal plates, and they’re really tough. Even with a gun, I don’t think I could stop her from at least getting back underground. Have S’kakithi been going missing? Investigator Chisithrita: Yes😠😢 Agent Allen: Fine, we can tell him. So that leaves… Unless, Investigator, could they still be somewhere in your city? Investigator Chisithrita: We would know. Investigator Chisithrita: Assuming it is a human responsible, none of you could foil our methods. Agent Allen: Let’s stick with that assumption for now. Mr. Li, it then seems that the only point of vulnerability would be during a session on the surface. Do you know of anyone who preferred to have their dates up here? Manny Li: Maybe. As I said, a few people with ground level homes have passages in — Leo, Colleen, Muhammed, probably more — and I think Benjamin K is a claustrophobe, so he mostly meets at the studio. So yeah, him. But almost always we go under. Look, mood and atmosphere are really important for this kind of thing, and it’s just not the same here. Agent Allen: I think I see. Have you noticed any unusual behavior by any of your friends lately? Manny Li: Nothing unusual for them. Agent Allen: I believe that’s everything, then. Investigator, do you have any further questions for Mr. Li? Investigator Chisithrita: 😁Thank you so much for helping, Manny!😁 Investigator Chisithrita: Sebastian may want to interrogate you further at some later point. Investigator Chisithrita: I may want to meet you again for other reasons.😉 Investigator Chisithrita: If I’m not too forthright in asking, what’s your profile name? Manny Li: On Tinder? Geez, okay. It’s “HungManny”. Investigator Chisithrita: I’ll keep my eyes out!😁 Investigator Chisithrita: 👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️ (🕷️) Interview 3629-6: On February 27, 2018, IAC gave the Foundation access to Tinder chat logs for human participants in SCP-3629 and for the missing S’kakithi, in accordance with the plans from Interview 3629-5. Agent Sebastian Allen met with S’kakithi Investigators Chisithrita and Iskeran on March 1, 2018 to discuss the findings. Agent Allen: Good morning, Investigator Iskeran, Investigator Chisithrita. Tinder finally turned over the logs. Investigator Chisithrita: Wonderful! 😃 Let’s take a look. Investigator Iskeran: 🕷🔎 Agent Allen: Right, I guess we’ll start off with the last to go missing. Let me know if you’re having trouble seeing the screen. Here’s the log for K’taithar. She met with SeventhWalrus — okay, I guess for the mustache — which seems to be the account of one Eric Thierse. Investigator Iskeran: I’ve seen the name. Investigator Iskeran: But not one I’ve met. Investigator Chisithrita: He looks strong. 💪 Could he be a web? Investigator Chisithrita: I mean, bait? Investigator Iskeran: The name has been there for a long time. Agent Allen: I don’t think so. He seems to have an account history, and I’d like to assume for now that our kidnapper isn’t able to edit Tinder’s files. Investigator Chisithrita: Liaisons with both our kinds. I don’t know this SeventhWalrus, but I do recall Aserak being quite satisfied. 🤪 So he’s real and just started grabbing ⛓his partners one day? Are any of his humans missing? Agent Allen: I don’t know yet. We can look into that. Let’s go back to K’taithar’s last meeting. Is there anything odd about these messages? Investigator Chisithrita: Not that I can tell. He comes off well here. But every predator should be pleasing to her prey. Investigator Chisithrita: They met at the studio rise. Investigator Iskeran: That’s relevant. We wouldn’t travel from the Rise, so that must have been where K’taithar was seized. Investigator Iskeran: A definite 🔎. Was that where the other 🕷 were taken? Investigator Chisithrita: Sebastian, let’s look at more. How about Espachia? Agent Allen: Okay. Let’s see… Her last meeting wasn’t with Mr. Thierse. Espachia met with someone named Tietan. It says here her real name is — Investigator Iskeran: 😲😲😲😰🤯 Agent Allen: Uh, what is it, Investigator? Investigator Iskeran: I MET WITH HER Agent Allen: When? Investigator Chisithrita: With one of their females? 🤢 Do you think it would be okay to start eating people as well as fucking them? Investigator Iskeran: Humans don’t have true gender. They’re practically identical. Both 🚺 and 🚹 are ignorant of the Way of Chalt’tiri. I see no difference. Investigator Chisithrita: They have the Tinder Terms of Service! If you got to know them, you’d see that. Investigator Iskeran: Then wouldn’t their men you let bind you also be People? And you call me a pervert? Agent Allen: Investigators! Please, I don’t understand this, but is it really relevant? Iskeran, Investigator Iskeran, you said you met with Ms. Willard-Neeson, Tietan. Was this for, uh, SCP-3629? When was this? Investigator Iskeran: Yes. And my fellow Investigator will find nothing in Chalt’tiri to condemn that. Investigator Iskeran: I met with her four days ago. Agent Allen: That’s well after Espachia vanished. Did she seem uncomfortable or anything like that? Any indicator of anything wrong, any aggressive moves against you at the surface? Investigator Iskeran: I don’t know how to tell if she was uncomfortable, but she was quite satisfying. Investigator Chisithrita: How did she talk to Espachia? Agent Allen: I’ll bring that up. Oh, again meeting at the studio. That’s definitely a theme. Investigator Iskeran: We met at a Rise near her 🏠. Agent Allen: Are all of these meetings at the studio? Mind if I scroll through? Investigator Chisithrita: 🤔Go right ahead. Agent Allen: Ikla’akti disappeared after meeting RebelStar929… at the studio. Sichariti disappeared after meeting LionManWaistDown… at the studio. Chik— Investigator Chisithrita: 🔎Is LionManWaistDown named Leo?🔎 Agent Allen: Leonel Simcoe, yes. Investigator Chisithrita: We built a rise to Leo’s house. He is in touch with the ground. There’s no reason he’d ask to meet at the studio. Agent Allen: That seems to be where all the abductions have happened. We can search the place, but perhaps there’s something there necessary for subduing the victims. Investigator Chisithrita: 🕵️‍♀️I don’t think so. Sebastian, Investigator Iskeran, might Leo and these others be imitated? Investigator Iskeran: A deception? It shouldn’t be. Agent Allen, go back to the conversation between Espachia and Tietan. Agent Allen: Sure. Investigator Iskeran: Does not this remind you of SeventhWalrus’s approach? Investigator Iskeran: This was not how Tietan spoke to me. Investigator Iskeran: 🕸🕷👿🕸 Investigator Chisithrita: 🧠Oh, good thinking, Investigator! 🧠 Show your conversation with Tietan to us.😉 Agent Allen: We have experts on writing styles. I’m not one myself, but I can contact one. Investigator Chisithrita: You are a human. If Iskeran thought she saw a difference, you’re sure to. Investigator Iskeran: My personal correspondences are not supposed to be a part of the case! Investigator Iskeran: But I can show Agent Allen. Agent Allen: Okay, yes, that’s definitely different than the Espachia conversation. Unless she forgot how to capitalize letters between talking to Espachia and to you. Okay, I think that’s a good working hypothesis. Somehow, someone is getting onto the Tinder accounts of humans involved with 3629 and setting up meetings with S’kakithi at the studio, where… what? We got stuck here when Manny was here too, Chisithrita. Shouldn’t the victim realize that it’s not her date there and bolt back underground? Investigator Iskeran: No. Investigator Iskeran: You look the same. Investigator Chisithrita: 🤫 Investigator Chisithrita: More diplomatically, you look human. Investigator Chisithrita: When you’re together, I can tell you apart — you have different clothes, skin, hair, size — but alone, it’s harder. Especially since you change your appearance so much! Investigator Iskeran: She may have let herself be bound by someone else. Agent Allen: And then unable to free herself when they showed their true colors. Investigator Chisithrita: 😥We have stories like that. Some are romantic ❤️ when the hero finds her binder is a shimmering drone with thick silk instead of the shedding old lurker who’d been around her nest. But in real life? By a human? 🤢💔💔💔 Agent Allen: So we want someone with access to the studio, a way to hack people’s accounts, and some reason for doing this. Investigator Chisithrita: 😳😳I think I know who. Investigator Chisithrita: HungManny said that out of fear of our displeasure over our seclusion being spoiled, he and his fellow Silkmasters let BoundToPlease — Diane — audit their Tinder accounts. And of course she has access to the studio. Agent Allen: Yes! I think we had best bring her in for questioning. And her husband Tom too; if she is behind this, he might be as well. The two of them probably know more about you all than anyone outside the Foundation. Investigator Iskeran: Or the Global Occult Coalition. Investigator Iskeran: Or the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Investigator Iskeran: Or the Leaves of Winter. Investigator Chisithrita: 🤫 Now then, Investigator, let’s leave some secrets for Sebastian to discover on his own.😉 Addendum 3629-6: Following the conclusions of Interview 3629-6, Foundation operatives apprehended Diane and Thomas Mallory. Under interrogation, they confessed to abducting and imprisoning six S’kakithi over a period of three months. Thomas explained that they harvested the venom from their victims and sold it as a drug. As S’kakithi venom is not anomalous and the Mallorys did not share the origin of the substance, no followup on the buyers is necessary. The victims were rescued from a property owned by the couple, dehydrated but alive. At the insistence of the S’kakithi Principality, Thomas and Diane were remanded to their custody. Addendum 3629-7: Below are reproduced several Tinder profiles of S’kakithi participating in SCP-3629. EightLegsUnder, 37 📍 less than a mile away You: Strong 💪 Silkmaster (men ONLY!)

SCP-3630	keter	Item #: SCP-3630 Special Containment Procedures: MTF Iota-20 ("Room Keys") is responsible for monitoring public records, police stations and news reports for potential instances of SCP-3630. However, as most instances of SCP-3630 are largely self-containing, monitoring should primarily consist of ensuring any instances of SCP-3630-1 and SCP-3630-2 have no memory of the events that led to SCP-3630 occurring. If any instances report being the victim or perpetrator of a murder, Iota-20 agents are to administer Class-C amnestics on them and anyone they have spoken to about the events. Under the guidance of MTF Iota-20's assigned supervisor, Dr. Juri Markell, instances of SCP-3630-1 with a particularly strong memory of their murders may be taken into custody and given a Hume-Lyle Reality Shift Resilience Test. Those with sufficiently high scores and applicable skills may be offered a position within the Foundation. Otherwise, instances of SCP-3630-1 and SCP-3630-2 are not anomalous on their own, and they can usually be left to participate in civilian life. On orders from the Ethics Committee, after 4/5/████, Iota-20 must report instances of SCP-3630-2 who planned their actions in advance to local law enforcement. Description: SCP-3630 is an anomalous phenomenon or entity that alters aspects of non-anomalous murders to create logical inconsistencies. These inconsistencies include but are not limited to: Locking the door or other entrance to the area where the murder occurred from the inside or outside Removing other points of access and exit from the area, such as windows or grates Damaging or otherwise altering the weapon used in the murder so that it does not function properly Altering aspects of the area so that the murder would have been noticed by others, such as causing a door or floorboard to make noise when moved or removing a wall blocking off access to the area The introduction of large groups of people into the area who under most circumstances would not have been present, preventing the murderer from accessing their victim These inconsistencies will never completely prevent access to the area where the murder occurred, and overall will not be seen as anomalous by most sentient beings. The majority of people who have become aware of the changes created by SCP-3630 are Foundation employees scoring more than 90 on the Hume-Lyle Reality Shift Resilience Test. After these logical inconsistencies are introduced, the murder itself will cease to exist, and any victims will no longer be deceased. These former victims are then classified as SCP-3630-1. Victims usually emerge from other parts of the building or area in which they were killed with no memory of the crime. Any others who witnessed their deaths or their subsequent returns also have no memory of the murders occurring, and do not process that anything anomalous has occurred. Those who committed the murders also have no memory of the events occurring, and are then classified as SCP-3630-2. If the murder was planned before it occurred, they will believe that some previously unforeseen event or circumstance diverted them from their previous plans, usually for vague and inconsistent reasons such as being "in the wrong place" or because "the timing wasn't right." Discovery: SCP-3630 was discovered when Dr. Burgundy Lowell, who had been trained to recognize the effects of CK-Class Reality Shifts due to his previous work with SCP-███ and had a Hume-Lyle score of 101, was murdered by his former Research Assistant Valerie Kind in his office at Site-140. Upon emerging from the men's bathroom down the hall, Lowell retained memories of the event and reported it to site security. Upon reaching his office, it was discovered that the door had been locked from the outside, although there were no signs of a forced exit. After she was found in the site canteen, Kind claimed she had postponed her murder attempt because she "didn't like the way the room looked." The circumstances of the event reminded Site-140 Agent M. Carter of an event a month earlier involving Cara Baker, a civilian who he was intermittently monitoring due to an encounter she had with SCP-████ two years earlier.1 Ms. Baker had recently called 911, claiming that her ex-husband, Ryan Baker, had murdered her. Excerpt from 911 call between Cara Baker and an operator, 2/10/████ Operator: 911, emergency. Cara Baker: Oh god! Please help! Oh god! Operator: Ma'am, can you calm down for me? Can- Cara Baker: It's my husband. My husband, he's killed me. He fucking killed me. Operator: Ma'am, calm down. You're hurt? I'm sending an ambulance right now. Cara Baker: I should be- I should be, I don't know. I'm not bleeding. Operator: Okay. Where were you hurt? Can you find where you were hurt? Cara Baker: In my chest. He shot- I've been shot. My chest. Why am I speaking? Operator: Okay, an ambulance is on its way, ma'am. Do you know where your husband is? Cara Baker: He… [Ms. Baker pauses. Five seconds of silence.] Operator: Ma'am? Cara Baker: He was just here. Oh god. We were on the porch and he ran into the backyard, he… Operator: Alright, stay on the line, ma'am- Cara Baker: I'm dead. I'm dead. What's going on? What's happening? I'm dead. Emergency workers who arrived on the scene believed Ms. Baker's beliefs were the result of a psychotic break resulting from stress due to her recent divorce, and she was kept under watch at ████████ ████ Hospital for five days. Upon leaving care, Ms. Baker believed that this was true and showed no further signs of acknowledging the anomalous. Upon investigation, Agent Carter, who had a Hume-Lyle Score of 97, reported that Ms. Baker's back porch, which had previously been open-air, was now enclosed in walls. Deadbolts had also been added to both sides of the door leading into the area from the kitchen. Ms. Baker's financial records did not show any purchases related to a renovation or to the deadbolts, and her neighbors reported that the outside of her residence had undergone no major changes in the last year.

SCP-3631	euclid	Item #: SCP-3631 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3631-1 is held in a standard biological containment cell at Site-19, and is to be fed two kilograms of raw meat on a weekly basis. Food should be promptly removed if not consumed within two hours. The cell is to be cleaned on a weekly basis, and SCP-3631-1 must be sedated during this period and other interactions aside from testing. SCP-3631-2 is held in a modified chamber in the intensive care unit of Site-19, where it is provided sustenance through intravenous (IV) injection. SCP-3631-2 must be examined by a medical team daily. Any signs of deterioration are to be treated immediately. In the case that SCP-3631-2 deteriorates to critical condition and/or does not respond to treatment, Procedure V367-Kilbourne is to be carried out. SCP-3631-2 must be administered anesthetics before Procedure V367-Kilbourne to minimize psychological trauma. One human cadaver is to be placed in the vicinity of SCP-3631-2; security personnel are to release SCP-3631-1 into SCP-3631-2's chamber. Personnel are not to enter the cell or disturb SCP-3631-1 in any way until the procedure is concluded, at which point SCP-3631-1 is to be sedated and removed from the chamber. SCP-3631-2 should be examined afterwards and administered antiseptic by the standby medical team. Description: SCP-3631 is the collective designation for two humanoids (SCP-3631-1 and SCP-3631-2). SCP-3631-1 is a nocturnal carnivore with red skin pigmentation. It weighs 89 kg and stands at 1.9 m when upright. Outside of a mouth and several heat-sensing orifices, it lacks any discernible facial features. Despite this, SCP-3631-1 demonstrates sight, smell, and hearing comparable with that of other large primates. SCP-3631-1 displays persistence hunting behavior, stalking solitary prey from a distance and attacking when isolated. SCP-3631-2 is an adult male human. All of SCP-3631-2's limbs have been amputated, and the lower jaw and vocal chords have been removed. Additionally, a long incision has been made across the abdomen to allow access to the abdominal cavity. Analysis of scar tissue suggests this was likely inflicted by animal claws, though the precision of the wounds implies intent beyond simple defensive or predation behavior. Although it shows signs of consciousness, SCP-3631-2 is capable of only weak response to stimuli, though this has improved since being taken into Foundation custody. SCP-3631-1 displays aggressively protective behavior against perceived threats to SCP-3631-2, having become significantly more aggressive since containment. SCP-3631-1 seems to be able to innately sense the medical condition of SCP-3631-2, as demonstrated by its agitation and high-pitched vocalizations typically associated with distress during surgical operations on SCP-3631-2. SCP-3631-1 will transport victims not used for sustenance to the vicinity of SCP-3631-2. It then will begin extracting organs from the victim to replace diseased and/or otherwise damaged organs in SCP-3631-2.1 The transplanted organs resume functions upon attachment. However, transplanted organs quickly begin showing signs of atrophy and require replacement on an approximately monthly basis. Analysis indicates nearly all of SCP-3631-2's organs have been replaced in this fashion, with only the central nervous system and sections of bone and muscle tissue retained; tissues from 23 different hosts have been identified. Attempts to replace this process with standard medical care have yielded mixed results, although supplementing maintenance from SCP-3631-1 with care from Foundation medical teams has improved SCP-3631-2's condition considerably. It is not known at this time how SCP-3631-2 consistently survived this process prior to containment given the poor quality of care and high risk of blood loss and infection. Discovery: SCP-3631-1 was discovered and captured on 2005/12/18 in Ombre Rouge, Louisiana after a string of disappearances were reported along with multiple sightings of a hostile humanoid entity. SCP-3631-1 disappeared from its cell without explanation on 2006/11/29. After several years with no sighting or evidence supporting the entity's existence, Foundation personnel re-designated it as neutralized. SCP-3631-1 was rediscovered along with SCP-3631-2 on 2018/10/16 after a series of disappearances consistent with those that led to the discovery of SCP-3631-1. During the investigation, MTF Epsilon-6 ("Village Idiots") discovered SCP-3631-2 in an abandoned barn outside of Ombre Rouge. Several pillows, blankets, and crude objects resembling toys were found in the barn, along with multiple unidentifiable human remains. During efforts to extract SCP-3631-2, Epsilon-6 was intercepted by SCP-3631-1, which was quickly subdued with minimal casualties. Addendum: Identification for an individual named Simon Hays was found on the person of SCP-3631-2. Records indicate Hays was reported missing in late 2016 shortly after returning to Ombre Rouge to visit his family. Medical records indicate that Hays had been hospitalized due to a concussion after an automotive collision on 2006/11/29, the same date as the disappearance of SCP-3631-1 from containment. He was diagnosed with short-term retrograde amnesia. Investigation of Hays' residence unearthed a number of crude drawings in an opened envelope, several of which depicted SCP-3631-1. A small note was included: Found these old drawings of yours Thought you might like to see them again Welcome home XO -Mom Footnotes 1. SCP-3631-1 prefers to use the organs of children, but will use the organs of adults if none are available. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3631" by Attila the Pun, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3632	safe	THE CLEARANCE LEVEL TO ACCESS THIS FILE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO LEVEL 1/3632 UNCLASSIFIED FOR RELEVANCE TO THE ONGOING BE-CLASS "MIGRATION" END-OF-CONSCIOUSNESS SCENARIO AUTHORIZED BY: Dr. Frederick Hoygull Photograph of SCP-3632 captured by the Norcross Space Telescope. Item #: SCP-3632 Special Containment Procedures: Given SCP-3632's distance from Earth, no immediate containment procedures are needed at this time. MTF Omicron-4 (“Bird Watchers”) operatives are embedded in all major space agencies capable of directly observing SCP-3632 in order to falsify any data that may imply the presence of a biosphere or sapient life; however, it is unlikely that such data could be gathered due to civilian technological limitations. The Wide Angle Research Telescope at Site-309 will image SCP-3632 every 30 days: staff are encouraged to review these images for reference. Description: SCP-3632 is an irregular planetoid with a mean radius of 440 km, currently approaching the Solar System from the direction of Alpha Centauri. Estimations of its current velocity indicate that SCP-3632 would not complete this journey for approximately 600 years: however, direct observations have suggested that SCP-3632 is able to anomalously alter its velocity and direction. Since 1998, WART imaging has revealed the presence of Earth-like biota on the near side of SCP-3632, as well as artificial structures resembling Old Kingdom and Ptolemaic architecture.1 Due to the presence of diagrams strongly resembling SCP-3632, as well as star charts depicting an accurate route from the Sun to Alpha Centauri B, in the historical records of multiple cultures during the Hellenistic period, it has been hypothesized that SCP-3632 has previously interacted with humanity and is associated with a variety of avian religious figures or folk heroes, including Djehuti, Thoth, Garuda, and Lei Gong. However, aside from the perceived similarity of these diagrams, there is no information to confirm nor disprove this hypothesis. Several excerpts from contemporary documents that potentially describe SCP-3632 have been included below: SCP-3632 Historical Archive Hide Historical Archive 5. prize of victory of the men of KHEMENNU, who devoted their most excellent minds and many years of their labour to the Pyramid… [illegible] gone from a seedling in the mind of the nomarch MERESANKH to a splendid structure, which towers over the city, 6. and it has been built in the name of DJEHUTI, whom all men of intellect aspire to [illegible] 9. as it was a structure most ingenious and pleasing to his sight, he took the whole city of KHEMENNU to the wondrous land of BROT KRUMA beyond the Sun, 10. where his chosen followers will live in bliss forever. -Unidentified tablet fragments, dating to the early Third Dynasty In the later years of Huangdi’s2 rule, the god Lei Gong, who could control thunder and rode in a flying city, visited his capital of Xinzheng. The boy Ji Mǐn, who was one of Huangdi’s sons, was a great admirer of Lei Gong and called to him, saying, “Look at the canals I have made by the river: they protect the city from flooding. Look at the wooden birds I have made: they carry our people from one end of our kingdom to the other.3 Is this not pleasing to you?” But Lei Gong was angry and said, “My people have been travelling for seven thousand years; they have travelled past the Moon and beyond the stars. But you bring them no food and no gifts, not even some workers to ease their burden. Instead you bring me tricks and toys, all of which I have seen before, and think this will please me?” And there was a great storm above Xinzheng, which knocked the palace roof down, and floods lasting for two years. -Redacted passage of the Records of the Grand Historian by Sima Qian, circa 1st century BC The Bird and the Floating Island There once was a wise old Bird, named Thoth, that greatly desired the miraculous floating island of his neighbours: a miniature world, much like the one we live on now, with all manner of plants and animals. His neighbours, the Pistreans, were monstrous creatures with fins and fangs and rough, scaly skin, and they spread all across the island until the plants were gone and the animals dead. Desperate for aid, they called for help, and Thoth disguised himself as a wrinkled old crane and went to them. “Wise crane,” said Akheilos,4 their leader, “we have no food to eat and no crops to plant. Our children lie awake in their beds at night, keening with hunger. All we ask for is some bread, to fill our bellies and keep our people alive.” For this Thoth was glad, for he did not care for Akheilos or his people, and was not overmuch concerned with keeping the Pistreans alive. But because he sensed an opportunity for himself, he opened his crooked beak into a smile and said, “My friend, your troubles are my troubles; I promise you that your people will never have to go hungry again. But for everything, there is a price.” “Anything,” pleaded the lord of the Pistreans, and Thoth preened his tattered wings and said, “Akheilos, my friend, as much as it pains me to say this, was it not you who led your people into famine? If I do this thing for you, you must leave the Pistreans and be bound outside the Universe, so they do not suffer the same fate again.” With a heavy heart, Akheilos agreed, and was bound and cast outside the universe. And Thoth was glad, because he knew that this was the only creature that could defeat him in what he planned to do. To the remaining Pistreans, he said, “Here is a spell that will give you all the bread you shall ever need: not a one of you shall ever be forsaken again.” And giving them the spell, he departed that place as speedily as he could. The Pistreans, being a trusting people, immediately opened the spell that wise old Thoth had given them, and gave shouts of joy as the few crumbs of bread they had left began to grow in size. But their shouts turned to groans of despair, then screams, as the crumbs continued to grow and grow, filling their plates and then their homes and finally, their entire floating world. When Thoth returned to that place, not a single Pistrean was left alive: all were buried beneath the vast, undulating waves of bread that covered the surface of the planet. And seeing this, Thoth began to work his magic. From the bread sprang up something that looked like plants and animals, at least to the untrained eye, and from under the planet’s new crust rose the Pistreans, transformed into a new and terrible form of life. And they built palaces and edifices that were testaments to Thoth’s great power, even if they were not entirely real. Outside of the Universe, Akheilos still lies bound, unaware of the fate of his people. Let the moral that he learns from this tale be thus: An old crane may be very, very wise, but that does not mean he is on your side. -Second-century Italian folk tale, anachronistically attributed to Aesop Hide Historical Archive Based on the condition that these documents are describing SCP-3632 and semi-accurate events relating to it, a tentative secondary anomaly has been designated SCP-3632-1. This is assumed to be a sapient being, which may be responsible for SCP-3632's fluctuating architecture and autonomous changes in velocity. Exploration: Due to recent advances in unmanned superluminal travel, as well as the avian features of many SCP-3632 architectural features and the suspected avian nature of SCP-3632-1, the exploratory probe Sitchin-1 was approved by regional O5 Undersecretariat vote (8-3, 2 abstaining). Designed to survive entry and re-entry of both Earth and SCP-3632 atmospheres, it was proposed that it would perform both an aerial flyby and a landing on the anomaly, collect surface samples and image potential avian lifeforms, and return to Earth for additional analysis at Site-309. Sitchin-1 was deployed on 08/15/2016 from the Penalva Launch Site, under the guise of a commercial satellite launch. It is projected to reach SCP-3632 by 01/03/2017.

Video and audio can no longer be transmitted back to Earth, and must be reviewed upon completion of the mission. Short-term anomaly in location readout. Unknown cause. Values returned to normal after 3 minutes. Display Sitchin-1 Recovery & Analysis Hide Sitchin-1 Recovery & Analysis VIDEO LOG DATE: 11/05/18 NOTE: Sitchin-1 was recovered from the Caribbean Sea on 09/05/18. Despite all parts being in good working order, no data had been transmitted back to Site-309 for the duration of its mission. The following post-mission analysis was conducted by Head Researcher Iqbar and Junior Researchers Kelsey & Bouche, both to determine the causes behind the probe’s mechanical failures and to review the video and audio data collected during the mission. [BEGIN LOG] 00:02 Hello? This is Dr. Maglan. I’m officially beginning this analysis: the quarantine officers have just finished reassembling our probe, and it looks like there’s no evidence of tampering with any of the machinery, anomalous or otherwise. Our next course of action is to go through the video available to us and determine what, exactly, caused us to lose contact for the better part of two years. 00:05: Dr. Kelsey finishes linking Sitchin-1 internal audiovisual files to Site-309 database. All set up, sir. Should I go ahead and play it, or…? 00:05: Whenever you’re ready. 00:06: Dr. Kelsey activates the video logs. Sitchin-1’s cameras activate as it achieves low-earth orbit and activates its main thrusters. After some deliberation, Dr. Bouche fast-forwards the video: Sitchin-1 is engulfed in a micrometeor shower which slightly dents the transmission dish, believed to be responsible for the mechanical failure. 00:10: Sitchin-1 enters weirspace5 uneventfully. 00:47: A minor malfunction in Sitchin-1’s weirspace stabilizers is hypothesized by Dr. Bouche to cause the anomaly in location readout previously observed, but subsequent testing confirms that this is not the case. 01:25: Sitchin-1 exits weirspace 14 minutes early, appearing directly over SCP-3632. The anomaly is approximately 3 km from the location it was imaged at by the WART telescope at the same time as the mission, accounting for relativistic differences. 01:27: This is Dr. Maglan again. The probe appears to be starting its descent towards the… wait, that doesn’t look right. 01:29: As Sitchin-1 approaches the surface of SCP-3632, ripple-like distortions appear in its camera feed. The buildings on the anomaly’s structure are now clearly visible, appearing to self-construct and crumble to pieces over the course of minutes. 01:34: A distortion overtakes Sitchin-1, and it suddenly appears near the upper atmosphere of the planet. Atmospheric perturbations resembling aurorae are visible overhead. 01:36: Interesting. That’s… Dr. Kelsey, can you confirm that quarantine completely sterilized the probe? Yes? Okay. 01:48: Sitchin-1 begins its descent toward SCP-3632 another 14 minutes early, following its pre-programmed flight path. 01:56: Sitchin-1 initiates landing maneuvers over what superficially resembles a field of brown grass. Subsequent video analysis, as well as residual matter on Sitchin-1’s landing gear, reveals that these are in fact down feathers, apparently still living. 02:02: Sitchin-1 touches down. A large ibis-shaped monument is visible in the distance, emanating a blue light. 02:04: That's what we're looking for, right…right there. John – hey, John – could we get a focus on that area of the screen? 02:05: Two avian entities with humanoid faces, approximately 6 meters in height, approach from the direction of the monument. They appear to be softly whispering to each other. 02:05: Dr. Bouche, you’ve been on the SCP-3632 project since almost the very beginning. Do these entities resemble SCP-3632-1 from the literature? Can we confirm its existence? 02:07: I mean – ah – all the records are so vague, it’s, it’s really very difficult to tell… 02:08: State your name for the record, please. 02:08: Oh, sorry, sorry. This is Dr. Bouche. And… in my professional opinion, I would have to say not. SCP-3632-1 is often described as a bird-headed humanoid with powers of flight, although these creatures could be… associated? 02:10: The two entities pause in front of Sitchin-1 and face the camera. After a pause, they both produce noises reminiscent of throat-clearing. 02:13: Are they trying to communicate? …Dr. Bouche, port this through to Command. 02:16: The two entities simultaneously begin producing harmonies, which are elaborated into melodies. Dr. Maglan laughs. 02:17: They’re singing to us, you see that? Beautiful. Beautiful birds. 02:19: There are tens of billions of birds in the world, did you know that? Almost 50 birds per person. Now there are birds in space, you see that. We are very, very small. 02:22: Both entities’ melodies shift a note. Cognitohazard alerts begin to sound. 02:23: I’m not sure what’s going on here. Bouche, activate the SCRAMBLE filters. 02:25: There is no response from Bouche. Entities continue to vocalize. 02:26: Bouche? Bouche, what’s going on? Activate the SCRA… 02:27: …The scra… 02:30: Entities continue to vocalize. 02:32: Scra. 02:33: Alerts from Site-507 indicate that SCP-3662 is active and has begun to produce vibrations consistent with the entities’ harmonics. All personnel within a 20-meter radius have begun experiencing symptoms consistent with SCP-3662-1 subjects. 02:35: Scraaaa. 02:38: Reports of SCP-3662-1-like symptoms begin to arrive primarily from regions surrounding Site-507, with exceptions. Radios on the same longitude as Site-309 begin to broadcast harmonies consistent with the SCP-3632 entities’. 02:30: Scraaa scra scra SCRAW SCRAW SCRAW – 02:34: Site-309 activates its on-site nuclear warhead. Reports of behaviour similar to Dr. Maglan’s intercepted from all major population centres. Estimated 40% of Foundation personnel compromised. Analysis abandoned. [END LOG] One (1) new note has been added on: 11 August, 2018 Hide note So. By now, you’ve probably figured out that SCP-3632-1 is very real. We mostly call him Thoth at this point – containment procedure’s fallen apart, but can you really blame us? We should have recognized from the history records that Thoth has a penchant for setting traps, and we walked right into one he set. SCP-3632, the buildings, the entities – it was all elaborate bait he set for us, a means of transporting some kind of weaponized idea back to Earth. And we fell for it, because it was only a Safe anomaly and there were so many other, catastrophic, world-ending terrors we had to deal with on a daily basis. And here we are. Let that be a lesson to… well, who, really? There’s almost no one left. Humanity never stood a chance. The meme was across the planet in a matter of hours. We still have some colleagues holed up in Lunar Area-32, but it’s only a matter of time until they run out of supplies. In the end, there were no voracious reality-eaters, no walking pillars of flesh, just… a single, stupid meme that got past our filters, and suddenly the people we swore to protect entire population of Earth is roaming around, cawing and pecking at the ground. And lately, there have been other, more disturbing changes. If you’re reading this – if at this point, by some miracle, you’re still alive – you’ll probably be reading this document, trying to figure out what went wrong. Well, we’re still alive too, and Thoth won’t see us coming. Come to Site-18. We’re there, the birds and the not-quite-humans that managed to avoid the apocalypse, and we’ve got a plan. I can’t tell you if it’s a good one, but we’ve got a plan. … Out of all the things that could have ended the world, I still can't believe it was fucking birds. -Dr. Frederick Hoygull, Avian Division Head Footnotes 1.

SCP-3633	safe	 close Info X More by DarkStuff~! SCP-3633 Item #: SCP-3633 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3633 is to be kept in a standard safe-type anomalous locker. SCP-3633 is to be inspected once a day for new pictures. Description: SCP-3633 is a factory standard iPhone 5 with a cracked screen and significant burns to the internal workings. Though this should render the device inoperational, SCP-3633 is fully functional. SCP-3633 remains at 0% battery life regardless of useage or attempts at charging it. There are two contacts in the phone, one labeled "Me" and the other labeled "Behind Me", both of which have no functioning phone number. Persons viewing pictures on SCP-3633 express an unfounded feeling of being watched from behind. When SCP-3633's camera is activated, the screen display becomes too dark to distinguish any features from the live preview. This preview is occasionally interjected with still images, however these images are too blurry to accurately identify. Further analysis shows that the majority of the objects in the images are in contact with the camera lens. SCP-3633 has received a total of three calls while in containment: two from "Me" and one from "Behind Me". While the phone rang, the screen became unresponsive, and personnel were unable to answer the calls. A voicemail was left by "Behind Me", which consisted of three minutes of leaves rustling, followed by a 'crack'. After this was fifteen seconds of a high pitch creak, followed by a mechanical clicking noise that ended the call. SCP-3633 was found on a desk in an abandoned apartment in Pittsburgh, along with several other anomalous objects (now classified as AO-9099 through AO-9108). The words "IN FRONT" were etched onto the desk next to SCP-3633. No records of the occupation of the apartment were found, although the landlord had financial compensation to suggest paid residence for over eight months. Addendum SCP-3633-1: Researchers attempted to communicate with "Me" and "Behind Me". The following is the results from these tests. Communications sent from SCP-3633 were sent to both "Behind Me" and "Me" in a group text and are labeled "SCP-3633". 4:12 - SCP-3633: Hello? Is anyone here? 4:12 - Me: 🙈 4:12 - Behind Me: 👀 4:13 - SCP-3633: Who are you? 4:15 - SCP-3633: What are you? 4:22 - SCP-3633: Hello? 11:47 - Behind Me: 🤐 No further responses have been recorded. Addendum SCP-3633-2: At sporadic intervals, SCP-3633 began receiving texts from "Me" and "Behind Me" regardless of SCP-3633's cellular connection. These texts always appeared in pairs, with one of the contacts sending a picture with a caption, and the other contact sending a text. The text messages differed from the normal messaging format used previously by SCP-3633, however all screen shots of these texts created a picture of static. Therefore, transcriptions of the messages received from SCP-3633 are presented instead. The name of each file as well as the content of the messages was transcribed exactly, including replicable stylistic and aesthetic details. + lie1.jpg - lie1.jpg Me: Theyre everywhere theyre everywhere in the stands in the seats on the field theyre everywhere Behind Me: youseethemright ijustwantedtoseetheshow + lie2.jpg - lie2.jpg Me: The end of the hall is too bright Behind Me: itgoesonandondandneverends thecurvesstraightenintoahaven + lie3.jpg - lie3.jpg Me: I hear the screaming and singing and sirens and wet noises Behind Me: theyfeastinthelightwhileiwatchfromthedark icantpayforthepriceofadmission + truth.jpg - truth.jpg Me: Me Behind Me: imtheonewhoisntthere ididnttakethosepictures After the final message was sent, accessing the camera app showed only a single image: + home.jpg - home.jpg Me: Why arent they sleeping Behind Me: itlurksbehindtheireyes Behind Me: No one needs more help than you do
SCP-3634	safe	Both sides of SCP-3634, displaying the "IN VINO VERITAS" text. Item #: SCP-3634 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3634 is to remain in a standard containment locker in Site-23's low-priority anomalies wing. The locker is to be locked with a code decided upon by Site Director Lawrence. SCP-3634-A instances are considered a Level-2 Biohazard, and are stored as such. The creation of new SCP-3634-A instances is only to be carried out by approval from Director Lawrence and two other members of senior staff at Site-23. Testing of SCP-3634-A as an aid for interrogation has been suspended, due to the impracticality of implementation. Description: SCP-3634 is a corkscrew and its case. The case and head of SCP-3634 are composed of iron and resembles a skeleton key, with the key's "shaft" bearing representations of grapes and grapevines. The head of SCP-3634 bears the words "IN VINO" on one side, and "VERITAS" on the other. SCP-3634's screw is made out of stainless steel. All parts of SCP-3634 have been described as having a perpetually dusty texture, and handling the case has been known to cause staining of the skin. When SCP-3634 is used to open a container of alcohol, the liquid within becomes an instance of SCP-3634-A. SCP-3634-A is chemically indistinguishable from a non-anomalous liquid of the same type, but individual instances have been noted to taste sweeter. Individuals who drink SCP-3634-A become compelled to speak truthfully in all circumstances for as long as SCP-3634-A remains in their system. Unlike other 'truth serums', such as SCP-████, SCP-3634-A does not allow for omission of details, or simply the ability to not answer. Rather, individuals who drink SCP-3634-A are compelled to divulge random, compromising details about their lives, from internal observations to offensive statements against those around them to actions they would normally not confess. Particularly susceptible individuals will carry out behaviors considered taboo; this may be due, in part, to the alcoholic nature of SCP-3634-A. Even individuals who test in the upper two percentile on the Cognitive Resistance Value index are susceptible to SCP-3634-A; however, this may be due to the natural CRV-lowering effects of alcohol. SCP-3634 was recovered following a Christmas celebration at the residence of one Richard G█████ in England in 2018, where it was given as part of a white elephant gift exchange. SCP-3634 was used to uncork several bottles of champagne over the course of the night, which subsequently transformed the liquid into SCP-3634-A. Emergency services were called following the ignition of a fire in the kitchen; upon arrival, it was found that all guests in attendance had gotten into a brawl which resulted in fifty-six injuries and three deaths. Following the arrest of all attendees, agents from Mobile Task Force Tau-8 ("A Hundred Drunk White Toddlers") were dispatched to conduct interviews and locate the source of the anomaly. Interview #: 001 Subject: Gerald A██████ (henceforth G.A.), Age 48, brother-in-law of host. Agent Prince: Now, let's start from the beginning. Why did you throw a television at your father-in-law? G.A.: Because he admitted he was shagging my mum! In front of my son! He's only three, he still shits his trousers! Prince: Does that really deserve a flat-screen television thrown in the direction of a seventy-nine-year-old man? G.A.: Well, then he started talking about how he was shagging my mum! I did not need to know that a man that old could contort into those positions! Prince: Moving on— G.A.: I mean, imagine how hard a sixty-nine is to do when your hips are both— [indistinguishable] Prince: Sir, please, that is irrelevant. What we're here to discuss is the circumstances that led to you all being arrested. Now, where did this start? Interview #: 008 Subject: Richter C████ (henceforth R.C..), Age 18, eldest son of C.C. (see Interview #4) Agent Trevor: I can understand that holidays are a stressful time, but does that necessitate setting fire to the punch bowl? R.C.: Mate, I invited my girlfriend to the party to meet my family. And then after three drinks, she starts banging on about what we've done! Trevor: Such as? R.C.: Y'know, bedroom stuff. I mean, everyone's fantasized about shagging their sister, right? Trevor: All of your siblings are male. R.C.: Don't mean I can't fantasize about it. She starts talking to my mum about how I get off on it. Trevor: Any idea why she would do that? R.C.: And it's not like mum wasn't sharing! She talked about how she did… things to my dad. Stalked him throughout secondary to try to get his attention, and eventually resorted to scaring off all of his other girlfriends, and— Trevor: (Transcribing) Anomaly makes subjects overly talkative… Interview: 013 Subject: Ellen D█████ (Henceforth E.D.), Age 25, sister of M.D. (See Interview 015) Agent Carter: I must say, I'm… almost impressed. E.D.: What do you mean? Carter: I've seen a lot of siblings beat each other up. But you jumped out a window and ran down a hill to escape your sister? E.D.: She was going on and on about how she wanted to be me, how I was always more successful, always prettier, always had the best lot in life. I figured it was the booze, but then… (E.D. shakes her head.) E.D. Then she starts chasing me through the house with a carving knife! Carter: So, you have no idea how the fire in the kitchen started? E.D: I honestly thought it was because of the punch bowl. Honestly, I was too worried about what Ken1 and his girlfriend were doing. Carter: Which was? E.D.: Singing Spice Girls. Carter: How is that concerning? E.D.: It's how they were singing it. Interview: 015 Subject: Melissa D█████ (Henceforth M.D.), Age 23, sister of E.D. (See Interview 013) M.D.: Yeah, all right, I chased my sister around with a kitchen knife, but who doesn't do that every once in a while? Agent Carter: Uh. Most people? M.D.: Well who hasn't at least thought about it? Carter: Most people don't actively try to kill their siblings. You're facing attempted murder charges, at best. Did something compel you to do it? M.D.: I guess it might have been the booze? The champagne they served there was awful, way too sweet. Nobody should make champagne sweet, it distracts from the fizz. I don't know what I'm talking about, I just like to sound smart because I hate my sister. So, so fucking much. Carter: We already talked to her. Do you know anything about the fire in the— M.D.: YOU DID WHAT?! How dare you talk to her before me?! I'm twenty times the woman she is! She thinks just because she has implants and went to college she's so much better than everyone, she is, but I won't let her keep that! I— (At this point, M.D. lunged for Agent Carter and was subdued with a stun gun.) Agent Prince: Could have used a bit more tact there, Carter. Carter: Quiet from the peanut gallery. Interview: 021 Subject: Edward E██████, (Henceforth E.E.) Age 14, youngest son of Quentin L█████ (see Interview 061) E.E.: Fancy a snog? Agent Prince: Excuse me? E.E.: C'mon, I can tell you're into me. Prince: You're fourteen. E.E.: And? Prince: I'm thirty-two. E.E.: I've fucked older. Prince: He's not affected. Get him out of here. Interview #: 042 Subject: Peter F████████ (Henceforth P.F.), Age 21, older brother of D.F. (not interviewed, in hospital) Agent Trevor: Your little brother's got a broken arm. What compelled you to do that? P.F.: He wouldn't stop doing that stupid fucking dance! Trevor: What dance? P.F.: The one from that fucking game! People kept on telling me to be nice to him because it keeps him out of trouble, but it's so annoying! I yelled at him to stop, and when he didn't and kept spouting things from that stupid game— Trevor: Carter, how many more of these do we have to do? Agent Carter: Seventy-six. Trevor: Start another kettle. Interview #: 044 Subject: Richard G█████ (Henceforth R.G.), age 52, host of the party. R.G.: I actually fucking hate this holiday. I can't stand any of my family. They're all ungrateful psychopaths— look at what happened between Melly and Ellen! And I can't remember any of their names anyway, I– Agent Prince: Sir, I need to ask you some questions. R.G.: –hate having such a huge family, it's annoying when you can't remember any of their name– Agent Prince: Sir, please, it's important that I be able to question you. We need to ascertain why this happened. R.G.: I have four fucking brothers and sisters-in-law. You think I know all of their names? Fuck no! Agent Prince: I'll come back later, once it's out of your system. Interview #: 059 Subject: Malcolm L█████ (Henceforth M.L.), Age 84, Father of Quentin L█████ (see Interview 061) (Agent Prince enters the interview room) M.L.: Took you long enough! It's been hours. I've had to masturbate to pass the time! (Agent Prince leaves the interview room. She excused herself from interviews for the next two hours, citing frustration.) Interview #: 061 Subject: Quentin L█████, (Henceforth Q.L.), Age 41, Son of Malcolm L█████ (see Interview 059) Agent Trevor: I understand you were in the kitchen when the fire started? Q.L.: I didn't see who started it. But I wanted to jump in. Trevor: Why? Q.L.: My wife and I admitted to everyone that we're in a swingers thing— she has four different partners, I have three. People were avoiding us for the rest of the night. I don't know why we admitted it, but we did, and now her mum won't talk to her, her dad disowned her, my brother is avoiding me, my son can't look at me, my dad says he's writing me out of the will— Trevor: Did you drink the champagne? Q.L.: Drank it? Mate, I poured the first glass. I opened the bottle with that stupid corkscrew I got. Trevor: Corkscrew? Q.L.: I don't know who gave it to me. Some kind of weird novelty thing, looks like a key, but the head comes out and reveals the screw within. Had some Latin on the head. Trevor: Was this used to open all the bottles? Q.L.: Yeah. We couldn't find any in the house, it was so crowded. And I saw what happened to it. Trevor: What happened? Q.L.: After the fight started, I saw it stuck in someone's balls. Trevor: What. Who— who stabbed them?! Q.L.: Dunno. Look, can I see my wife? She's the only one who will tolerate me at this point, and I've always wanted to have sex in a prison cell. Trevor: Just for that, we're facilitating your divorce. Interview #: 068 Subject: Kenneth O██████ (Henceforth K.O.) Age 29, Husband of I.O. (See Interview 067) Trevor: In front of the entire family? Really? K.O.: She said she had wanted to do it for a long while! And it'd been ages since we've done it! Trevor: Unbelievable. If this is some kind of hazing thing, I'm going to stick Marmite in their boots. K.O.: It's perfectly natural behavior. Trevor: You do realize you're a sex offender, now. K.O.: For singing Spice Girls? Trevor: For doing it while having sex in public! Interview #: 073 Subject: Olivia P█████ (Henceforth O.P.), Age 25, girlfriend of L.J. (See Interview 056) Agent Prince: You're the oldest person we've talked to who's not been affected. O.P.: Do you think it's genetic? I'm not part of the family. Prince: No, it has nothing to do with blood relations. We believe the alcohol was spiked. O.P.: Well, I don't drink— can't, I'm on medications that mess with my liver. And Maisie's2 pregnant, so she can't drink either. And we're both fine. Prince: Did you know that they banned alcohol in America at one point? Even put it into the constitution. O.P.: Yeah, we learned about that in A-Level. Why? Prince: It's a damn shame we didn't do the same. Interview #: 079 Subject: Margaret Q██████ (Henceforth M.Q.), 33, Housekeeper for Richard G█████ M.Q.: There's something about him I always admired. I saw him around the house every day, and I always wanted to get closer to him, but I don't really ever have the courage to do it. He's so…. distant, so stoic. Agent Carter: The trouble is, we can't find anyone in the household with the name… hold on. (Agent Carter checks his notes.) Carter: We can't find anyone in the house with the name 'Gonzales'. M.Q.: He's the family's shepherd. (Carter peruses his notes.) Carter: They don't have sheep— wait, as in German Shepherd? As in their dog?! (Carter abruptly terminates the interview as M.Q. gives a response in the affirmative. Due to the extreme circumstances, Agent Carter was not disciplined for this incident.) Interview #: 083 Subject: Isaac R████ (Henceforth I.R.) Age 61, Father of Jacob R████ (See Interview 084) Agent Prince: Do you know why you're here? I.R.: All I did was steal some hors d'oeuvres and a bunch of the jewelry. Prince: That's exactly why. What did you do with it all? I.R.: I hid it. Prince: Where? I.R.: In my stomach. Is it safe to eat gold? Prince: …it is, but I'm pretty sure that the quartz you swallowed isn't. Let's get you to the hospital. I.R.: I've always wanted to see what they taste like, is all. They always looked so tasty. Prince: You're sixty-one. I.R.: Any man can crave candy, dammit! Interview #: 100 Subject: William T██ (Henceforth W.T.), Age 37, Father of Bella T██ (not interviewed, in hospital) Agent Trevor: Sorry, the recording device wasn't on. Could you… please repeat that? W.T.: I threw my daughter in the window. Trevor: Why?! W.T.: She was complaining that she didn't get a good Christmas present like her brother! She got a jumper, and her brother wouldn't let her play with his stupid Transformer! Trevor: Did you give her anything to drink? W.T.: Just a sip of champagne. She started acting unbearable, and I got so mad that I just… opened the window and… Trevor: Well, the good news is, you're not going to jail for murder. Attempted murder, yes. Though honestly, part of me doesn't blame you. Interview #: 118 Subject: Llwellyn W█████ (Henceforth L.W.), age 40, Husband of Alison W█████ (see interview 116) Trevor: So, you claim to have started the fire in the kitchen? L.W.: Yeah. I threw a whole bunch of olive oil on a baking tray and threw it in the oven alongside some cherry bombs the kids had. Trevor: Why? L.W.: Have you met my family? Trevor: Unfortunately, yes. L.W: I've wanted to kill them since I married into it! Trevor: As far as I'm concerned, you'd be doing the world a favor. L.W.: They're all mad, and tonight proved that! Trevor: As much as I'd love to let you have at them, it's 6:00 in the evening on Christmas, we've had to interview over 100 people, I've seen three different sets of balls and half a set of tits, and if I could, I'd make everyone who drank that stupid wine D-Class. But instead I'm supposed to give you a couple of pills that will make you forget everything. L.W.: Who the hell are you? Trevor: Someone who really sympathizes with your plight. Here's some advice, if you remember anything: Get. A. Divorce! All members of Tau-8 which conducted the interviews were disciplined for their unprofessional behavior. In addition, Agent Trevor has been given additional psychological counseling. The screw component of SCP-3634 was recovered from the groin of Alexander W██████, one of Mr. G█████'s cousins. The exact circumstances of how SCP-3634 came to be located there are unknown. Footnotes 1. Kenneth O██████. Refer to Interview #068 2. Maisie J████, see Interview 055
SCP-3635	safe	Item #: SCP-3635 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3635 is to be contained in a Standard Security Locker. Personnel are forbidden from viewing the contents of SCP-3635; if viewed, Class-A amnestics are to be administered. Testing with SCP-3635 must be approved by at least one Level 3 researcher. Any personnel assigned to SCP-3635 who experience inconsistent memories compared to others and/or documentation are to notify the Site Director immediately. Should additional memories include documents or letters, personnel are to make every attempt to replicate them. UPDATE - 9/25/1996: All transcripts of recalls reported by SCP-3635-A are to be sent to the Historical Research Division for cross-examination with existing historical evidence. Description: SCP-3635 is an entirely blank photograph measuring roughly 9.5 cm by 13 cm in size. Testing of SCP-3635 suggests it is a Cabinet Card1. Reproductions of SCP-3635 through scanning or photography do not carry its anomalous effect. When exposed to SCP-3635 directly, the subject (designated SCP-3635-A) will begin to recall one or more events. A large proportion of subjects report a form of traumatic event, which in majority of cases leads to depression or anxiety. Class-B amnestics appear effective at counteracting these effects. Non-Fatal Type-I Memetic Hazards are known to be present in certain events, necessitating basic cautionary procedures. Most SCP-3635-generated memories share several fundamental characteristics, including interactions between anomalous entities (which, as of 9/25/1996, have included animals, plants, and inanimate objects) and a "green-suited" task force with unknown affiliations. The subject takes the role of an observer, and not as a member of this task force (with the exception of [REDACTED - LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED]). ► Show Addendum 1 - Interview Extracts ▲ Hide Addendum 1 Interview Extract #: D-3635-3 D-3635-3: So, I remember the smell of horses, hay, the like. I think I was working near the barn that day. Interviewer: According to our documents, you've lived in an city your entire life. D-3635-3: Not me, you twat, the other me. That me lived off the farm since we were born. I don't think I ever gone more than a few miles from it. And yet all I can remember is that specific day. As… As I said, I was working by the barn, loading up some bales, and my wife was coming up to help me. Interviewer: Can you describe her? D-3635-3: Beauty, really. Gorgeous brown hair, smooth skin, green eyes… I always loved that about her. Not that I loved her for them, I just thought that they were a signal of something special about her- the way she could take your arm and lead you to the ends of the earth, it was magnificent… Interviewer: Did anything else happen? D-3635-3 pauses D-3635-3: That day, we were feeding the barn animals. I was about to finish up, when from across the barn, I heard her screaming. I ran over, and… her eyes were just gone. Nowhere to be seen. And… she just kept babbling incoherent nonsense… D-3635-3 sighs Interviewer: D-3635-3? D-3635-3: Can… Can we stop the interview? Interview Extract #: D-3635-7 Interviewer: Tell me more about Frank. D-3635-7: Frank's always been a hothead. You could never get that guy to be happy, always mad at something or someone. Just an old, grumpy man. Anyways, I hear him screaming his god damn head off about some minor offense that I've committed against him, and his family, and his church or something. Interviewer: Did you do anything to make him upset? D-3635-7: Not that I can remember. As always. But, anyways, I step out on to my porch to tell him to cool his head off in the well, and that's when I notice that Frank was hell-of-a-lot different. One arm… well, it looked like a giant's arm that was plastered on to Frank's side. All pink and fleshy and… D-3635-7 shutters D-3635-7: I think it was growing as I watched it. Interviewer: Did anything else interesting happen? D-3635-7: Funny enough, something did. This group of soldiers jumped out of nowhere. Green uniforms, nothing I've ever seen before. They pushed me down as I saw them go after Frank with their bayonets. Man, he was roarin' and bleeding some strange black goo… Horrible. Interview Extract #: D-3635-9 D-3635-9: I first remember writing, a letter, yeah. It was late at night, and really hot. I was using these old-fashioned looking gas lamps and getting really tired. Interviewer: Did you observe anything abnormal? D-3635-9: I suppose you could say that. Freaked me the hell out. I got this feeling I was being watched and there was this man… thing… standing in the doorway between my bedroom and the kitchen. Not moving, it looked like a man, but I think it was built out of porcelain. It had a painted and smiling face and these really ragged loose trousers. You know, I don't think it was actually standing up, supported by its legs I mean, it looked like it was hanging from the neck by some invisible rope. Interviewer: What happened next? D-3635-9: It spoke, without moving it's mouth. I think it said something along the lines of "Sorry for the intrusion, but do you mind if you could spare a cup of tea?". Really creepy, it sounded like a old man with a smoking habit. Interviewer: Did anything else happen? D-3635-9: We must have stared at each other for a few seconds to a few minutes, I can't tell. And then, it broke, as one of its arms suddenly twisted around and shattered into oblivion. All I remember after that was backing into the corner, as these men in green uniforms invaded my home. Interviewer: And that was all you recall? D-3635-9: That was- oh, wait, there was one more thing. One of the weapons the man held looked like nothing I've seen before. It was kinda gun, shaped, but it glowed and had these odd rings around the barrel. Interview Extract #: D-3635-11 D-3635-11: There was always a bit of magic about the place, you know? Interviewer: The library? D-3635-11: Yeah. You didn't need to be working there as long as I did, you could just feel it in the air the moment you walked in. The place was just filled with history, quite literally. I could place my hand on the wooden walls and feel otherworldly energy flow through it. D-3635-11: It didn't take me long to realize I wasn't the only person who spent their time reading books there. Sometimes, if I was really lucky, I could see the words on the pages rearrange before my very eyes. Ink flowed to form new phrases and alter the story ever so slightly. I saw a person like me, a reader, experience the story for himself as a character in the book. I saw him cheer on the hero fighting the dragon, engage in discussion with famous detectives, and act as a witness in dramatic court cases. D-3635-11: But he left one day, and I couldn't find him again. And then… D-3635-11 pauses, glaring at the floor Interviewer: …And then? D-3635-11: They burned it. The men you told me about. I was dragged out of my home as they set fire to the place. Everything burned… almost everything. Interview Extract #: D-3635-12 Interviewer: Good evening, D- D-3635-12: Fuck, those… God damn it! Interviewer: D-3635-12, please remain calm. D-3635-12: No, just… It's Jebodiah- I mean, Jackson, not D-whatever! Interviewer: According to the terms of your contract- D-3635-12: Yes, I know, I know, sorry. I'm just a bit… overwhelmed, right now. Interviewer: Can you provide an account of the event you recall? D-3635-12 laughs weakly D-3635-12: Event? Man, I've got a whole lifetime to remember now. D-3635-12 pauses and becomes more sedate D-3635-12: I'm… pretty sure I was living in the past, or some form of it. There were no cars, no paved streets, no electricity. Life was… life was calm. I was happy. I owned a lot of land, kinda a big shot in the area, you get what I mean? Large family, grandchildren were on the way. D-3635-12: We lived kind of in an oasis in a desert. We owed this fortune due to a gift from god, a statue of an angel. Some ancestor of mine, I dunno who, had put it on top of the hill overlooking the wheat fields. As long as we lead good, Christian lives, the gift would bless us with rain no matter the season. Our crops were in high demand for miles around. D-3635-12: And then… those fucks showed up. Pointing strange guns at our faces, yelling at us, pointing at the hill. I don't think they were from around, I couldn't understand a word they said. Of course, their purpose was obvious. They wanted our statue. D-3635-12: We were brought up to the site, and then they broke out these sticks. The angel watched over us, expression unchanging, as they started swinging at its base. Chunks of stone broke off and they kept on swinging, like they were felling a tree. My daughter… oh God, my daughter… D-3635-12 pauses and weeps quietly D-3635-12: She… She tried to stop them. Grabbed one of their legs and pleaded. The sticks were brought down, and… sh-she stopped moving. And God, the angel just watched silently. The same expression it's always had, as my daughter… as my daughter was taken from me forever. D-3635-12 begins crying, and is unresponsive for the rest of the interview ► Show Addendum 2 - [CLEARANCE LEVEL 4 REQUIRED] ▲ Hide Addendum 2 On 25th September 1996, during routine testing with SCP-3635, D-3635-18 reported a memory which was inconsistent with previously documented experiences. The subject reported sitting at a writing desk in a concrete room and writing a letter. When asked, the subject was able to perfectly recall the contents of the letter. The letter is replicated in full below. To whoever is reading this, Happenings. Events. Unexplained occurrences. We were among the first to notice that things were not as they seemed. Objects behaving, not as they should, but as they wanted. And, of course, there was instantly a race to grab as many of them as possible. Whenever we found an atypical creature – be it man, animal, or plant – we’d leave it alone. That is, until someone thought it would be a good idea to start searching for them, and kill them before they could kill us. I was always against the decision to begin hunting, but was ignored. More to the point, we needed something that would make people forget we existed- to preserve out secrecy. Something we could carry around when we went out, hunting the atypicals, to erase any memory that anything was wrong. We had to be incredibly stealthy before, but with this, we could be as obvious as we wanted, and nobody would be able to remember a thing. I was given that job. I struggled with it for weeks, trying to make something that would erase any memories that we wanted to erase. But my research was futile. There was simply no way I could do it. Except, one day, I walked in to my office, and it was on my desk. The photograph. Looking back over my memories, I pieced together what had happened. I had created the photograph – exactly how, I did not know– and it would erase the memories containing atypicals from whoever looked at it dead-on. Preliminary testing showed that subjects exposed to the photograph would deny being able to remember what had happened over the time they had forgotten, and gave accounts which were inconsistent with people who did possess memories of the time. It wasn’t perfect, but it was damn better than nothing. So, we used it. I was always against the idea of using atypicals to fight other atypicals, but the effectiveness of the photo drowned out my concerns by the other twelve. But my suspicions were aroused when Jameson, that son of a bitch, woke up one day. He was different. He said he’d done things he hadn’t, been places he hadn’t, seen things he hadn’t. Everyone attributed it to amnesia or shock- I didn't think so. I realized he’d wiped himself with the god damn photograph. Seeing as he had been carrying the photo for his squad, I assumed he'd use it on himself if he'd seen "things" that he wanted to unsee. Didn't seem like that much of a big deal, at first, besides the… over-effectiveness of the memory-wipe. But then, the same thing happened to Quester, Ducat, Price, and some other members. And there was no way on Earth that any of them could have seen the photo. Something was terribly wrong. I figured out what was happening quickly- the amnesia was spreading. Why, and more importantly why now, I did not know. But I needed to prevent it. After the first day, I was ready to give up. I was constantly fighting a losing battle against my own amnesia-filled mind. There was no way I could possibly do it. Knowing this made no difference. I carried on regardless, using logic as opposed to science. I was sure that I knew already what to do. Eventually, I did it. I found the answer. The Negative. If I could create a positive which erased memories, surely I could also create a negative which restored them. I had probably tossed it away somewhere for emergencies after I had created the photo I wanted. And finally, after hours of frantic searching, I found it. Thank the Lord it wasn't hidden away too far. I showed the image to everyone who forgot, and their memories came flooding back. I was relieved, but I had forgotten the unstable nature of atypicals. The negative didn't give you your memories back- it gave you random ones, from the ones the positive had erased. It wasn't exactly easy to keep an organization together, when the members remembered themselves doing horrid acts from the eyes of the victims. By the time we figured out what had happened, most of our group had left, became depressed, or had gone crazy. We were done. We knew we were done. You're going to remember this. You might remember more; you might not. But, no matter who you are, you need to pass this information on to someone. Please remember. Don’t fight fire with fire. Upon further questioning, D-3635-18 was able to recall an image located above the letter. The photo contained 13 individuals, each labeled with a number ranging between one and thirteen. All individuals' faces, besides the one labeled "four", were blotted by ink. Footnotes 1. A common photography method used in the late 19th century. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3635" by CorruptedMuse, Yossipossi, and BlazingTrail, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3636	euclid	Item #: SCP-3636 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3636 is to be kept in a standard secure cell at Site-17. Access to the room requires Level-2 or higher clearance. All staff members involved in the testing of SCP-3636 must be provided with an up-to-date song blacklist document. Under no circumstances are songs from the blacklist to be selected. Description: SCP-3636 is a 155cm by 85cm jukebox similar in design to a Wurlitzer 1015 with a decorative rainbow-colored light across the top and a golden plate bearing the inscription, "World's Greatest Jukebox". The glass selection screen where one would typically find booklets detailing the songs available is instead replaced with a blue touchscreen displaying a search bar and the text, "Search for song title, artist, or album". SCP-3636 has no slot to insert coins and has no apparent power source. Selecting a song through the search function will cause a list to appear consisting of every version of the song known to exist, including unreleased early versions of the song as well as every live performance by the original artist. Analysis of live events after the Foundation's acquisition of SCP-3636 confirms that the live versions are accurate to the performance listed. SCP-3636 seems to have a wide temporal range, as original performances of operas that debuted in the Baroque period have been selected. When a song is selected, SCP-3636's screen changes to display a video with the text "Live Music Video" above it. The video is based on the lyrical content of the song, often directly depicting the events mentioned in the song. Other times the events seen in the video are the result of a play on words. The events in SCP-3636 actually occur at a real world location visible in SCP-3636's video. The phenomenon, referred to as SCP-3636-1, lasts for the length of the song. Effects of SCP-3636-1 may continue after the fact depending on the contents of the video. An instance of SCP-3636-1 is created regardless of whether the song selected has an official music video. All tests of instrumental songs so far have produced music videos without any perceived anomalous effects (e.g., "YYZ" by Rush shows live footage from Toronto Pearson International Airport). SCP-3636 was discovered by local firefighters during a fire at a bar in ████████, New York that killed 21 individuals. The jukebox was found undamaged with the screen showing a video of the fire from the bar's exterior while playing the song "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel. Class-B amnestics were administered to all survivors and first responders. + Test log - Access Granted Test 1 Song Selected: "Walk" by Pantera SCP-3636-1 Event: Several people in a location confirmed to be Arlington, Texas are shown making signs for a protest. Most of the signs contain the word "respect". At the start of the first chorus, a group has gathered in the city's downtown and begins marching with these signs. They collectively chant along to the chorus of the song and local news stations are shown reporting on the impromptu "Respect Walk". Effects: Participants in the protest expressed confusion over their involvement. Class-A amnestics administered to everyone affected. Notes: Arlington, Texas is the city where Pantera was founded. SCP-3636 may be aware of this fact. Test 2 Song Selected: "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell SCP-3636-1 Event: A tall, elderly man with pale skin and gray hair is shown breaking into Site-17, searching for and eventually spying on Research Assistant ████ ███████, who selected the song. Effects: Elderly man disappeared at the conclusion of song and was not found after a complete search of Site-17. Damage to the site was found at the location the break-in occurred in the video and was immediately repaired. ███████ immediately identified the man as an uncle who physically abused him as a child. ███████ experienced severe paranoia for a week and underwent psychological treatment. Notes: Song added to blacklist. All future tests must be carried out by D-class personnel under supervision of approved Foundation researchers. Test 3 Song Selected: "Jukebox Hero" by Foreigner SCP-3636-1 Event: SCP-3636 immediately disappeared from containment. Effects: SCP-3636 found on top of an apartment building in New York City. Affixed to SCP-3636 was a cape with the words "Jukebox Hero" written on it. A severely malnourished man was found tied up with a rope on the same rooftop, with a written confession to several murders next to him. SCP-3636 was returned to Site-17 and the man was taken to local authorities. Notes: Extreme deviation from the lyrical content of the song. Analysis of cape reveal no unusual properties. Further searches for "Jukebox Hero" displayed the song in a separate list called "Favorites". Test 4 Song Selected: "The Night Santa Went Crazy" by Weird Al Yankovic SCP-3636-1 Event: A man with an appearance similar to modern depictions of Santa Claus carrying several weapons assaults a large building filled with humanoid beings that look similar to traditional depictions of "Christmas elves" After a large shootout and several explosions, the man executes five reindeer who display human-level intelligence. Several FBI agents later surround the man, arresting him. Effects: Subject of video remains unidentified. The FBI's Unusual Incidents Unit sent Foundation contacts documents detailing the raid on the North Pole. Destroyed building consistent with the workshop depicted in the video is found 6 miles east of the magnetic north pole. Notes: Song added to blacklist. Test 5 Song Selected: "Straight Through the Heart" by Dio SCP-3636-1 Event: A group of men similar in appearance to the band Dio appears next to SCP-3636, performing the song. A man who appears to be a young Ronnie James Dio is carrying several swords. Every time the title of the song is sung, Dio takes a sword and stabs D-75529 in the chest. D-75529 seems unharmed for the duration of the song. Effects: D-75529 died instantly from his wounds. Autopsy confirms that all nine swords went directly through the test subject's heart. Notes: Test occurred after the death of Ronnie James Dio. When interviewed, none of the surviving members of Dio remember taking part in the events of the video. Test 6 Song Selected: "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion SCP-3636-1 Event: A large freight ship in the Atlantic ocean is seen hitting an iceberg. Two muscular Slavic men are seen trying to escape together, eventually they stop searching for a method of escape and stand embracing each other and kissing as the boat sinks. Effects: Boat found 7 miles south of Titanic wreckage. All 43 crew members were killed. Corpses of the two men depicted in the video are found still embracing. Notes: Song added to blacklist. Test 7 Song Selected: "Mean Mr. Mustard" by The Beatles SCP-3636-1 Event: D-992103 is shown sleeping on a bench in a park located in Liverpool, England. D-992103's head has been replaced with a large jar of mustard. D-992103 is seen counting coins in a pile next to the bench. D-992103 eventually meets a woman with a name tag that says "Pam", and the two suddenly appear outside of Buckingham Palace. Effects: D-992103 and the woman in the video are located near Buckingham Palace. The woman is identified as D-992103's actual sister. D-992103 seems to have suffered no ill effects and passed all vision, hearing, and cognition tests despite his head still appearing to be a jar of mustard. Researchers described D-992103 as "irritable". Class-B Amnestics administered to D-992103's sister. Notes: D-992103 is currently being evaluated at a Foundation surgical center with updates pending. Test 8 Song Selected: "Wonderwall" by Oasis SCP-3636-1 Event: Screen remained blank for 5 seconds as a female voice said "Sorry, I don't like that song." before returning to the search screen. Effects: No anomalous effects observed. Notes: First time SCP-3636 has refused to play a song. First instance of any direct communication with the user. Test 9 Song Selected: "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour SCP-3636-1 Event: Video depicts several world leaders dancing, playing air guitar, and lip-syncing the lyrics to the song while in the middle of their duties. The video ends with a montage of the same world leaders making a "stage dive" off of a nearby desk. Effects: Embedded Foundation agents in several governments confirm the events depicted in the video actually occurred. Some world leaders suffered minor injuries from their attempted stage dive. Notes: Researchers noted that the song could be selected again to create blackmail material to use against anti-Foundation politicians, with approval pending from the Ethics Committee. SCP-3636 added song to favorites. Test 10 Song Selected: "Blindfolds Aside" by Protest the Hero SCP-3636-1 Event: Several executions of prisoners in different locations are depicted, with all participants wearing blindfolds. All events are interrupted by D-22091 wearing a cheap blonde wig, begging for mercy on the prisoner's behalf. All attempts fail and the prisoners are executed without complication. Effects: D-22091 returned to Site 17 at the end of the video. A blonde wig was discovered under his jumpsuit. All executions depicted in the video were confirmed to have taken place with no complications. Notes: D-22091 was confirmed to be the only person depicted in the video with any memory of the event. Test 11 Song Selected: "Danger! High Voltage" by Electric Six SCP-3636-1 Event: SCP-3636's containment room changes in appearance to recreate the room depicted in the original music video of the song. Two people who appear to be Electric Six singer Dick Valentine and actress Tina Kanarek in their original costumes follow the exact choreography of the video. D-91244 is shown standing in the background, holding a sign stating "Why change what is already perfect?". Effects: No anomalous effects observed. Notes: SCP-3636 added song to favorites. Test 12 Song Selected: "Buddy Holly" by Weezer SCP-3636-1 Event: Several Foundation members stationed at Site-17 are shown changing into clothing popular in the 1950s, then attending what a banner proclaims is a "Buddy Holly/Mary Tyler Moore Lookalike Contest" held at the Site-17 dining hall. Several Foundation researchers participate in the contest. The O5 Council are shown sitting at a judges table. Dr. █████ and Research Assistant ████████ are selected as the winners. Effects: Events in video occurred as depicted, including transportation of entire O5 Council to Site-17. Notes: Video contained many in-jokes commonly shared by Site-17 personnel. SCP-3636 may have time-manipulating effects as the entire contest was held during the song's 2 minute and 40 second duration. Further testing halted by order of Site Director. Testing reinstated, see Addendum. + Song blacklist - Access Granted Cover versions of any songs listed below are also blacklisted. "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel "World Wide Suicide" by Pearl Jam "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M. "I Don't Want to Set the World On Fire" by The Ink Spots "Nuclear War (On The Dance Floor)" by Electric Six "Goodbye Blue Sky" by Pink Floyd "Distant Early Warning" by Rush "Chemical Bomb" by The Aquabats "Call of Ktulu" by Metallica "Countdown to Extinction" by Megadeth "Zombie Jamboree" by Rockapella "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears "Chocolate Rain" by Tay Zonday "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell "The Night Santa Went Crazy" by Weird Al Yankovic "My Heart Will Go On" By Celine Dion "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon "Godzilla" by Blue Oyster Cult "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden Addendum: On ██/██/17, SCP-3636 began playing "Why Can't We Be Friends" by War without any input. No staff were on hand to observe the video event corresponding to the song. Security forces entered the room after noticing the song and discovered former Foundation employee ████ ███████ handcuffed inside the containment room. ███████ was wanted by the Foundation for the theft of six anomalous items. The stolen items were later found to have been returned to their proper locations. A note was found in ███████'s pocket. The note read "Please keep the music playing, I'd rather be friends than enemies. - WGJB" Testing resumed by order of O5. Further test results are to be documented in Experiment Log 3636. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3636" by GerrymanderBassist, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3637	euclid	SCP-3637 after transfer to a museum. Item #: SCP-3637 Special Containment Procedures: As of Incident 3637-A, 3637-Ramah events have ceased completely, and SCP-3637 has been reclassified to Neutralized. One year after Incident 3637-A, SCP-3637 was fully excavated and transferred to a museum operated by a Foundation front. Archived Special Containment Procedures Access Granted. The area within a one-kilometer radius of SCP-3637 is to be surrounded by an 8-meter-high barrier, with guards posted every 200 meters. If SCP-3637-1 attempts to breach the barrier, it is to be deterred using high-pressure water hoses. Description: SCP-3637 is a fossilized Maiasaura skeleton excavated 8 km east of Bynum, Montana during a paleontological dig. Upon initial excavation of SCP-3637, a loud roar was heard by the paleontology team, with no apparent source. SCP-3637 will undergo a single 3637-Ramah event every time a thunderstorm forms or passes directly over SCP-3637. During a 3637-Ramah event, wind speeds in the vicinity of SCP-3637 will increase to around 140 kph, a loud roar will be heard, and salt crystals within a 119 m radius of SCP-3637 will be drawn towards it and cover it completely. A lightning bolt will then strike SCP-3637 directly (SCP-3637 is undamaged by this), and the salt crystals will coalesce into the form of an adult Maiasaura skeleton, hereafter designated SCP-3637-1. SCP-3637-1 will then extricate itself from SCP-3637, and walk away. Wind speeds will return to normal, concluding the 3637-Ramah event. SCP-3637-1 tends to wander aimlessly, occasionally vocalizing and digging into the ground with its forelegs. SCP-3637-1 will continue to wander and dig until rain degrades it to a point where it is incapable of locomotion. SCP-3637-1 is noted to vocalize loudly and dig more rapidly and frantically as it degrades. Rain will continue to fall in the vicinity of SCP-3637-1 until the instance dissolves completely. Only one SCP-3637-1 instance can exist at a time; a 3637-Ramah event will not occur again until the current SCP-3637-1 has dissolved. SCP-3637-1 is capable of remembering previously-dug areas as well as specific Foundation personnel; leading theories to explain this phenomenon are that SCP-3637-1 is either the same entity appearing repeatedly, or a group of entities sharing a collective memory. Incident 3637-A: On 5/13/18, a Foundation paleontology team excavated a nearly complete Maiasaura nest, including several dozen fossilized eggs, approximately 11 km from the location of SCP-3637. A 3637-Ramah event immediately occurred at the location of SCP-3637 despite the lack of rain, and the resulting SCP-3637-1 immediately vocalized loudly and proceeded to run directly towards the nest. SCP-3637-1 then absorbed salt from the ground, growing in size to a length of 15 m, and easily scaled the barrier. On-site personnel attempted to neutralize SCP-3637-1 with high-pressure water hoses but were unsuccessful. SCP-3637-1 then shed the excess salt, returning to its original size of 9 m, and continued course to the nest. Personnel at the nest were advised to stand down while backup was scrambled. Upon reaching the nest, SCP-3637-1 lay down next to it and nuzzled the fossilized eggs, before collapsing into salt crystals.

Incident 3637-A: On 5/13/18, a Foundation paleontology team excavated a nearly complete Maiasaura nest, including several dozen fossilized eggs, approximately 11 km from the location of SCP-3637. A 3637-Ramah event immediately occurred at the location of SCP-3637 despite the lack of rain, and the resulting SCP-3637-1 immediately vocalized loudly and proceeded to run directly towards the nest. SCP-3637-1 then absorbed salt from the ground, growing in size to a length of 15 m, and easily scaled the barrier. On-site personnel attempted to neutralize SCP-3637-1 with high-pressure water hoses but were unsuccessful. SCP-3637-1 then shed the excess salt, returning to its original size of 9 m, and continued course to the nest. Personnel at the nest were advised to stand down while backup was scrambled. Upon reaching the nest, SCP-3637-1 lay down next to it and nuzzled the fossilized eggs, before collapsing into salt crystals.
SCP-3638	safe	INFOHAZARD WARNING Knowledge of this document may have harmful side-effects. Access is restricted to staff briefed on Procedure 382-Diogenes, unless justified by imminent danger. If you accessed this file by accident, notify the SCP-3638 research group immediately. Fig. 1: Sketch of the entity, drawn by agent Colby Franquin during his guarding shift. Click here for supplementary similar drawings. Item #: SCP-3638 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3638 is located in a custom-built clear acrylic glass cell1 in Area-130. A group of four agents posted around its cell act as the primary containment construct for SCP-3638's remote effects (supplemented by two other groups in nearby isolated rooms with live vital signs data from each other, acting as fail-safes). Agents are to operate in four hour shifts and are to be provided with any source of entertainment that they request. The use of non-anomalous mood-altering substances may be exceptionally allowed at the discretion of supervisors. In the event of a breach, recontainment strategies rely upon proficiency in Procedure 382-Diogenes among all personnel aware of SCP-3638's existence, irrespective of site. Derisive language and emphasis on its benign nature are thus encouraged in all exchanges and documentation. This may even take precedence over accuracy in non-critical contexts2. Description: SCP-3638 is a two-meters tall, partially incorporeal, remarkably impotent predatory entity. It has an arthropod-like segmented structure, with a bloated terminal segment bearing eight four-jointed legs with numerous curved spikes on their tarsi. Each of the other segments bears two curved spikes and one flexible, comically obscene tendril (see fig.1). The entity is always visible, but can suppress all other interactions with matter (e.g. bypass physical barriers) seemingly at will. Its behavior is understood to be heavily influenced by certain characteristics of sapience: known targets have included adult humans, adult cows, dogs, and a class-III AI construct. Young children, cow calves, and other animals/organisms have consistently been ignored (including in situations of complete vulnerability to attacks). Those who are aware of its existence are primarily targeted, in order of proximity. In cases where no such organisms remained in its surroundings, it has been observed to translocate instantly to reach the next-closest sapient being aware of it. This has been noted as comparable to the routine of a stage magician. The entity appears unable to initiate a new attack until its current target expires, or until there is a new vulnerable target closer to it. It has been postulated to be greatly frustrated by the ridiculous nature of this behavioral defect highlighting its overwhelming inadequacy. All observed attacks have occurred in two stages. First, the entity stays stationary and remotely accesses the mind of its prey (as evidenced by vocalizations consistent with knowledge of their thoughts). When this stage is prolonged, brief indistinct hallucinations are induced infrequently. If certain mental features are present (see next paragraph), it becomes immediately able to initiate the second stage: physical assault. The most notable specificity of its aggression techniques is flailing movements reminiscent of a distressed poultry bird, or an oblivious scurrying insect. Established cognitive patterns that enable the progression to stage two include sustained fear of the entity, inquisitive fascination, visceral disgust, and a disciplined stoic demeanor; best described collectively as "taking it seriously". An indefinite maintenance of stage one (with a continual rotation of agents successively acting as the primary target) has been achieved through a derisive, irreverent mindset, formalized as Procedure 382-Diogenes. Temporary failures to maintain this outlook do not immediately trigger an attack. Losses of focus3 lasting up to 30 seconds have been reported with no consequences. Vocalizations from the entity have occurred occasionally since initial containment, typically in the form of amusingly melodramatic threats that greatly overstate its importance and betray human-like psychological flaws, most notably histrionic delusional power fantasies. Recorded examples of vocalizations include: "I encompass your sanity. You don't have to think about it now, you will learn later." "Little treats, dancing on my mind's tongue! Delightful." "You're exhausted. Don't you want some rest?" "Cockroaches in your skull, scuttling on your thoughts!" "You were scared for a split-second. I felt it, delicious. Remember! Think about it again!" "Gravitas, gravy-taters, omnia grab-its-ass" "Your mockery is getting quite dull. I may just get bored and stop playing along one day." Note: although this is not currently verifiable, it has been hypothesized that if the entity were fully corporeal, its smell would be similar to urine and feces. Footnotes 1. Observation has been shown to be beneficial to the enactment of psychological procedures. 2. For instance, the entity was formerly classified Keter but was found to be far too inept and uncoordinated to deserve this label. 3. Described by agents as the inadvertent onset of fear or doubt regarding the entity's innocuousness. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3638" by 440 Hertz, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3639	euclid	Earliest documented appearance of SCP-3639, worn by the seated subject. Item #: SCP-3639 Special Containment Procedures: The two separate components of SCP-3639 are to be held in separate standard containment lockers and available for testing with approval from the Level 3 Contact Researcher. No testing is to be performed. Monthly inspections are to be performed by Agents who have cleared Level-3 psychic resistance training. Description: SCP-3639 is a pair of boots of the type worn by members of the Hungarian Army during the Second World War. They display wear and tear typical of boots used in wartime, but are still largely intact. Tags and other manufacturers information have been worn off over time; however, the initials "K.L" have been branded into the inside of each heel. Actions taken by subjects wearing SCP-3639, hereafter designated as SCP-3639-1, will cause observers to rationalize any actions taken by SCP-3639-1. If pressed to intervene, observers will express ambivalence towards SCP-3639-1's actions, even if they find the actions to be abhorrent, frequently justifying their hesitance by citing some real or speculative equivalence between SCP-3639-1 and the objects or person(s) against which they take action. SCP-3639's anomaly also affects — albeit to a lesser extent — those who have not directly observed SCP-3639, but only received firsthand information about it. Such individuals will defend the actions taken by SCP-3639-1 less stridently, frequently seeking compromise or middle ground regardless of the severity of SCP-3639-1's behavior. Secondhand reports of SCP-3639's behavior do not appear to have any anomalous effect. This effect will persist even after subjects have been removed from the presence of SCP-3639, and will only cease when SCP-3639-1 removes SCP-3639; affected subjects can then be persuaded of the wrongness of SCP-3639-1's actions via reasoned argument and, in extremis, amnestic therapy. History: Manufacturers records relating to SCP-3639 were destroyed during wartime. Historical documents recovered after the fall of the Soviet Union indicate that the Red Army first encountered SCP-3639 in the possession of a Hungarian soldier, SCP-3639-1, who had taken possession of a small village on the outskirts of Budapest. GRU-P commissars were able to identify SCP-3639's anomalous properties, and were able to terminate SCP-3639-1 from a distance. After testing for potential political uses, they were determined to be too volatile and placed into storage. The Foundation was able to take possession of SCP-3639 in September of 1995, as part of an agreement with the Russian Federation. Addendum 3639-A: Testing Log Records. Testing of SCP-3639 was initiated by Site-30 personnel after request by Researcher David Bolland, who had been recently promoted from Junior status. It was the first project undertaken by this research team. Test A - ██/██/████ Subject: D-0127(SCP-3639-1), D-0412 Procedure: D-0127 was instructed to place SCP-3639 on their feet, then destroy a glass jar while being observed by D-0412 inside of a viewing room. Results: D-0412 wrote afterwards of the dangers of glass and how the actions taken by D-0127 made them feel safer. Analysis: The anomalous properties seem to match the Reds' description of them. Further testing is required to see if any additional properties emerge. — Researcher Bolland Test B - ██/██/████ Subject: D-0127, D-0412 Procedure: D-0127 was instructed to take physical action against D-0412, who would be debriefed following the test. Test duration was one hour. Results: D-0127 initially took minor actions against D-0412, pushing and shoving them to the ground. As the testing period progressed, D-0127 became more violent, eventually rendering D-0412 unfit for future testing. Debriefing is pending. Analysis: It appears as though D-0127's behavior was exacerbated by D-0412's resistance, which they were instructed not to give. More compliant test subjects will be necessary in the future. We do not have the budget to request future test subjects. — Researcher Bolland Test D - ██/██/████ Subject: D-0127 Procedure: D-0127 was instructed to attempt a logic puzzle while wearing SCP-3639. Results: D-0127 did not attempt to solve the puzzle, instead berating the personnel conducting the test. Test was terminated after 45 minutes. Analysis: Testers are encouraged to take a more conciliatory attitude towards D-0127 to improve cooperation for future testing. — Researcher Bolland Test G - ██/██/████ Subject: D-0127 Procedure: Researchers cleared for engagement were encouraged to interact with D-0127 in order to prevent the need for additional test subjects, while also documenting their interactions to examine SCP-3639's effect in a conversational environment. Results: D-0127 agreed to continue as a testing subject, in exchange for additional accommodations. Research personnel noted that D-0127 did not make unreasonable demands, despite their disposition. Analysis: Until further notice, D-0127 is to be housed in the research quarters, with appropriate measures being taken in accordance with their D-Class status. — Researcher Bolland Bolland, this is highly unorthodox. Please fill out the necessary documentation for a meeting with me justifying this move. — Deputy Director MacKenzie Test J - ██/██/████ Subject: D-0127 Procedure: D-0127 was placed in a standard living chamber, with a sealed door between them and double food rations. Materials to remove the door were placed in their presence. Results: D-0127 destroyed the door in a violent fashion, ignoring the keycard and other nondestructive tools placed at their disposal. Analysis: D-0127 is to be given access as necessary to prevent more negative interactions with barriers, as they have been shown to be harmful for persons attempting to meet their goals. — Deputy Director MacKenzie Addendum 3639-B: Following the completion of the testing battery, SCP-3639-1 had been given full access to the Site-30 facility, living in the quarters of Researcher Bolland's team. A critical mass of personnel on-site had become affected by SCP-3639, forming a shadow chain of authority on-site. SCP-3639-1 used this influence to disrupt on-site activities for their personal gain. Several days after this state of affairs came to be, off-site communication analysts noticed aberrations in Site-30's reports. SCP-3639-1 had instructed the falsification and misrepresentation of on-site activities, which eventually led to noticeable inconsistency. At this point, Foundation agents began investigating and quickly contacted unaffected members of the site, who provided intelligence revealing the scope of SCP-3639's influence over Site-30. MTF Eta-10 was deployed, and were able to recover SCP-3639 and terminate SCP-3639-1 via long-distance firearms. All personnel affected by SCP-3639 were given amnestic treatment and therapy, while all other personnel were reassigned. Site-30 was reorganized due to this critical failure having destroyed morale and the capacity for research or containment in its present state. Addendum: Interview Log 3639-G Interviewed: Researcher David Bolland Interviewer: Agent Katie Hikks Foreword: Subject was detained for possible collaboration with D-0127 <Begin Log> Ancillary communication redacted Agent Hikks: Start from the beginning. I know this is a stressful time for you, and I can promise that I'm not going to drop you out of your chair if you think I might not like your answer. You were testing with the D-Class. At what point do you think the experiment began to go out of hand? Rsr. Bolland: It was… our first project. My first project, leading a science team. We'd all passed our psych evals, which maybe could've maybe been the problem. We all knew, in our heads, the danger was there, but there was some kind of a safety bubble. We were ready, couldn't happen to us. There wasn't anything particularly dangerous about a pair of suggestive boots, we thought. Agent Hikks: What was your process for choosing D-0127, specifically, among the D-Class available to you? The files I've read indicated that you had only a few candidates to choose from. Give me your thought process, especially considering this was something entirely new to you and your team. Rsr. Bolland: We thought the non-violent personality wouldn't offer problems. That could have, uh, contributed to us letting our guard down. The only thing ever recorded on their file was talking back to a guard in mess hall for their attitude. Did we not take them seriously enough? I thought it would help us, to do the best with what we had. Agent Hikks: Not taking them seriously enough might have been a possibility, in my estimation. The records I have in front of me show you complained there were 'slim pickings' in your personnel reports. Any resentment towards administration there? They did rebuke you for the language choices you made there. Rsr. Bolland: Not resentment… I have respect for the way things are done. I know there are more important experiments happening that I'll never know about. Cosmic bulls with twelve eyes that they have to send a thousand men every solstice just to survive, or some stuff like that. Usually the cream of the crop gets taken by higher-priority projects. Allocation is biased. I just always felt it wasn't fair to the younger generation- Agent Hikks: Let's stick to what we're here for. You're not exactly a prime candidate to show that the youth movement can tackle big projects straight out of the gate. Catastrophe happened here. Things seemed to have escalated quickly. Rsr. Bolland: The experiments began as normal. We went through the baseline testing, then moved on to the stickier stuff. I think, maybe, it started to go downhill in the second battery of testing. That was when we started talking to [REDACTED]… er, to D-0127. About things… other than testing. Agent Hikks: Focus. It didn't seem to take long to go from talking to sympathizing with the D-Class, did it? Your team members said you took the lead on inquiring outside of the approved topics. What were your early conversations like, the ones that occurred in the test chamber? Rsr. Bolland: I wouldn't say I was the first to start talking, but D-0127 was more responsive to me more than the others. He had a real sob story. From Milwaukee, grew up in Ohio, he said. My dad came from there. I think our first real conversation was about how the river caught on fire, that time in the '70s. Claimed he was just a drifter caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Said the only good thing about being with us was that we got him off meth. Agent Hikks: So pity turned into obedience? You think oh, this person shares some culture with me, maybe they shouldn't be where they're at? Maybe they have some good ideas? How did that continued escalation happen? Rsr. Bolland: The turning point was letting [REDACTED] out of the D-Class areas. Letting D-0127 out. When the Deputy Director got involved and turned like… us, thinking like us, pretty quickly. When there was a higher up making it seem okay. It was just… easier. To think of some justification for why we did what we were doing. To go from privileges, to providing. There always seemed to be a good reason in our heads. Agent Hikks: Was the exposure of the Deputy Director a deliberate action, or a consequence of something else? There seemed to be dramatic uptick in the situation once he got involved with the experiment, if you could even still call it an experiment at that point. Rsr. Bolland: I think he might have been trying to intervene. Pretty early on, it seemed, there was suspicion that something was not right. But either there was some improper following of protocol, or something else that just went wrong. But when he came to our test area, I think, there was some direct engagement with the subject. He was the first outside our group to come under [REDACTED]'s influence. Agent Hikks: You and your team are more or less patient zero in this fiasco. Did it take long for a critical mass of your coworkers to become affected? Rsr. Bolland: Not a lot of people actually even saw [REDACTED]. A few higher-ups, us, and then if anyone came to close asking questions they were pretty quick to not ask tons more once they had a chat with him. I remember on the first day, there were a lot of conversations and murmuring but that was the extent of any reaction I saw. I could see in people's eyes when they looked at me, they had questions, but there was… fear too, of what would happen if they asked them. Agent Hikks: I reviewed memoranda you sent out to your colleagues. It seems you were focused more on reassuring them that everything was normal than anything else. Talking a lot about an imminent return to normalcy and how things really weren't that different than they had been before. Rsr. Bolland: Not just me. That was the key to the whole game, in [REDACTED]'s eyes. This was all being improvised. We weren't being mind-controlled. When we did what he wanted… the more we did, the easier it was to justify what what we'd done. Precedent, you see? Everyone else seemed to be moving with the program, so we kept going, and the tension ratcheted up another notch. It wasn't normal. Agent Hikks: If people didn't feel it was normal, why wouldn't they leave, or revolt, or tell someone off-site? There can't have been that many people comfortable with a D-Class still in their jumpsuit calling the shots in a fairly obvious way. Rsr. Bolland: I think they figured the higher-ups would figure it out. Nobody wanted to be the first to die when there's almost certainly rescue on the way. That was something I was afraid of in the back of my mind. If [REDACTED] had asked me to lead a lynch mob… I don't know if I would have said no. Fearful, a lot of dread was in the air. It was easier going with the crowd. Enough key people, were affected. Maybe… I just don't know. I'm sorry this happened. Everything went out of control so quickly… Agent Hikks: Hey, stay focused. I know you were pretty isolated after a certain point, but what were people saying? Did they talk about escaping, cooperating, organizing to fight back? Rsr. Bolland: Sorry. After the first day not a lot of people talked to me. Maybe they thought I wasn't… someone they could talk to. I saw a lot of people keeping their heads down. Agent Hikks: You have a unique perspective, from your place at the very start of all this. Can you give any information about how this spread? Was it maybe a viral thing, or a more social phenomenon? Rsr. Bolland: I didn't know exactly how many people were affected, and I don't think anyone else did either. A giant prisoner's dilemma. Nobody had experience with a breach like this. You expect these things to be sudden, and this was sudden, but in a different, insidious way. No blood and guts and twisted metal. Instead, handwritten orders from your boss asking how that birdhouse you were working on was coming along and oh, by the way, can you fudge the truth on behalf of [REDACTED] - and remember, essentially we'd been treating him as if he wasn't human. To us, the day before, he'd been basically a slave. Agent Hikks: Did D-0127 say anything to you directly, once he had effective control of the facilities? You were doing a lot for him in writing the memorandum telling your fellows to get with the program. Was there anything you got promised in return for this collaboration? Rsr. Bolland: After the testing, the flattery, the sympathy… not a lot. I guess once he was done with me I wasn't really a part of his life anymore. In my head, I justified it as really helping a person, that maybe it wasn't so bad. There were so many injustices we had done to him, to [REDACTED], I couldn't really see anything he was doing to us as really being that awful. Nobody was being lined up to get shot at the end of the month, or… whatever happens.You know, sometimes, what we do to them, the D-Class? It can be a fate worse than death. Agent Hikks: You're still sympathizing, then. Anyone can spin a sob story, you know. None of what D-0127 said to you is definitive truth. Do you still have these feelings about D-Class, or D-0127 specifically? Rsr. Bolland: I'm still thinking about it. I'm not 100% sure where my thoughts end and those boots begin. Can we take a break? Agent Hikks: I think we've got everything that will be productive here. We'll contact you for the next follow-up soon… I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to speak with us. <End Log> Closing Statement: After-action reporting indicates that the broad majority of staff were not affected by SCP-3639. It was not a matter of a thug taking control of the site and calling all the shots directly. There may not have been more than a half-dozen key persons taken by the effect. It was social and peer pressure that played the main role in allowing D-0127 to seize effective control of the facility for as long as they did. When people are given a role, they tend to follow along. Even if the role is mad. — Agent Hikks ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3639" by Anonymous, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3639.

Lambda-12 has been assigned to investigate potential SCP-3640-Alpha hunting grounds. They are authorized to terminate instances of SCP-3640-Alpha with lethal force. All known SCP-3640 hunting grounds have had their surrounding properties acquired by the Foundation; these properties are to be used as subsidized accommodations for Foundation personnel on mental health leave who have not read any instance of SCP-3640. The legal department of the Walt Disney Company is currently under surveillance for any documentation that might indicate awareness of SCP-3640-Alpha. Description: Instances of SCP-3640 are tourist brochures advertising self-guided tours of areas associated with urban legends, hauntings, cryptid sightings, and folklore in the US state of Florida. An individual that reads an instance of SCP-3640 and visits the specified starting location at any of the specified times will be subject to predation by an instance of SCP-3640-Alpha. Instances of SCP-3640-Alpha are predatory organisms that superficially resemble uniformed mascots associated with media properties owned by the Walt Disney Company mass media conglomerate (such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy). Though they are endemic and widespread throughout the state of Florida, instances of SCP-3640-Alpha are observed to hunt only at the times and locations specified in SCP-3640. Testing with D-Class personnel has shown that SCP-3640-Alpha instances follow certain rules while selecting prey: SCP-3640-Alpha instances will only approach individuals who have read SCP-3640. If any member of a group has not read the brochure, then SCP-3640-Alpha instances will avoid the group entirely. If all members of a group have read the brochure, then the number of SCP-3640-Alpha instances preying on the group will be equivalent to the number of members in the group. SCP-3640-Alpha instances will not pursue prey that cross outside of Florida state lines. It is still unclear how instances of SCP-3640-Alpha grow, reproduce, or consume prey. Addendum: Investigation and Recovery Logs + D-Class Reconnaissance Log - Hide Reconnaissance Log VIDEO LOG SUBJECT: SCP-3640-Alpha TEAM: D-1525 (D-15) NOTES: The purpose of this mission was to incapacitate an instance of SCP-3640-Alpha for retrieval (or tag it for later tracking). D-15 was primed with an instance of SCP-3640 advertising a tour of the Saint John's River1. He was equipped with a subdermal GPS tracker in his stomach and limbs, a head-mounted camera and radio, and an electroshock collar. A dart pistol with tranquilizer rounds modified with GPS beacons was provided. D-15 was dropped at the bank of the St. John's River approximately 3 kilometers outside of Orlando at 2000 hours (EST) and instructed to follow the tour directions in the brochure. [BEGIN LOG] Command: D-15, check in. How are you doing? D-15: I've been better. Command: Please follow the tour directions in the brochure. If you spot a Disney costume, shoot it with your tranquilizer gun. D-15: …Understood. (whispering) Jesus, [REDACTED], what the hell are you doing? [D-15 proceeds north along the river, pausing occasionally to read the brochure.] D-15: So, uh, Command. Do you think you could, uh, tell me a little more about what I'm supposed to be tracking? Command: You're not tracking anything. Just keep following the tour. D-15: Come on, please? This is a lake monster tour but I'm on the lookout for fucking Mickey Mouse. Just tell me why? [D-15 turns to look at the river; there is a ripple of water at the surface. He pauses and follows the ripple with the flashlight, revealing a partially submerged alligator.] D-15: (whispering) Whoa. Command: D-15, please pay attention to the tour directions. D-15: (whispering) Sorry, sorry - I've just never seen one of these in real life before. [D-15 moves closer to the riverbank.] Command: Please return to the tour or we will have to stimulate you. D-15: Okay, okay, jeez. I'm going, I'm going. [D-15 moves back and checks the brochure briefly. His gaze remains fixated on the alligator until the flashlight can no longer illuminate it.] D-15: Oh, uh, Command? I've reached the end of the tour. I've followed all the directions. It's just more river. Command: Understood. Turn around and return to the drop-off point for pickup. [D-15 remains where he is for several moments, looking at the riverbank.] D-15: Christ, this is creepy. [As D-15 turns around, there is a splashing sound from the river. D-15 looks back at the river; his flashlight illuminates an SCP-3640-Alpha instance, resembling Donald Duck, emerging and climbing up the bank.] D-15: What the fuck? [D-15 immediately begins shooting the instance and backpedaling; it does not react or make any sound apart from its footsteps as it advances towards D-15.] D-15: Uh, I'm out of ammo. Command? Command: Retreat slowly. Try to keep it in your vision; the retrieval team is advancing towards your position. [D-15 breaks into a sprint and flees in the direction of the retrieval point. For the next several minutes, all of Command's attempts at communication are ignored; all that can be heard is D-15's breathing and the sound of his own footsteps until he pauses to catch his breath. He turns around; there is no sign of the Donald Duck costume.] D-15: (panting) What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. Command: D-15, report. Why did you run away? D-15: Because that was fucking terrifying, pardon my French. Look, I'm sorry and please don't zap me but that was the scariest thing I've ever seen. Okay? Command: Fair enough. You're still going to receive a reprimand once you return to base. D-15: I'll take it. How far away is the retrieval team? Command: About ten minutes from your location. Just keep going, you'll run into them shortly. D-15: Man, 372's never gonna believe this. [At that moment, there is a splashing sound from the river. D-15 turns to see the SCP-3640-Alpha instance rapidly climbing out of the riverbank and running towards him.] D-15: Jesus fu- [The instance assaults D-15 and knocks the camera and radio off of his head. The radio picks up the sounds of a struggle as well as several splashing sounds. D-15 does not re-establish contact. Upon arriving, the retrieval team acquires the camera but reports no sign of either D-15 or the SCP-3640-Alpha instance.] [END LOG] NOTE: D-15's subdermal transmitters continued to operate, traveling down the St. Johns River and into Orlando. The last known location of the transmitters was outside of the EPCOT amusement park; Mobile Task Force Lambda-12 was dispatched to investigate. + Lambda-12 Investigation Log - Hide Investigation Log VIDEO LOG SUBJECT: SCP-3640-Alpha TEAM: MTF Lambda-12 ("Pest Control") [BEGIN LOG] [Shortly after dark, Lambda-12 arrives at the last known location of D-1525's transmitter: a small, one-story concrete hut on the outskirts of EPCOT. In addition to their standard equipment, L1 is equipped with a flamethrower; L2 with a net launcher; L3 and L4 with heavy-caliber shotguns.] L1: Alright lads. You know the drill. We go in, we bag Donald, we come out. Questions? L3: Remember when we just used to hunt bugs? L2: You telling me you'd rather go back to that? L3: I watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with my niece - fuck yes I would. L1: Knock it off - come on. I'll take point. 3, 4, guard our flank. L2, L3, L4: Yessir. [There is a broken padlock on the door to the hut. L1 pushes the door open, revealing a nondescript maintenance shed. The shelves are nearly empty; L1 picks up a roll of duct tape and examines it.] L1: Not quite what I was expecting. L2: Uh, sir? There's a hatch. [L2 points to a trap door in the middle of the floor.] L3: Goddamnit. Why can't we ever go upstairs for once? [L1 opens the trap door and peers down. Underneath is a ladder leading into a large, dimly lit tunnel.] L1: Tunnel looks clear. I'll go down first, then you three in order. [L1 slides down the ladder quickly, followed by L2, L3, and L4. The tunnel is curved in shape and progresses for an unknown distance north and south of the ladder, curving out of sight around a bend in both directions.] L1: I don't like this one bit. Too easy for us to get ambushed… stay sharp lads. L2: (whispering) These tunnels run all under Disney World, yanno. It's how all the mascots get around. L4: (whispering) Quiet. [Lambda-12 proceeds north; the tunnel appears to have been abandoned for a significant period of time. The team passes by several empty storage and dressing rooms. As the team proceeds through the tunnel, a low rumbling noise becomes audible. The team follows the noise to a closed door and stop outside.] L1: (whispering) Predator formation. I have point. [L1 opens the door carefully to an abandoned boiler room. The room is empty, although the boiler is active. At the foot of the boiler is a white mascot costume that is curled up around an unidentified object. While L1 and L3 watch the door, L2 carefully approaches the costume at L1's signal. He examines it and then nudges it with the barrel of his net launcher. There is no response. L2 nudges the costume again.] L2: (whispering) It's an… an empty Daisy costume. L3: (whispering) The hell? L2: It's just an empty costume. It's not even - it's not even anomalous, I don't think. Something in it? [L2 carefully reaches into the costume and extracts a human arm bone.] L2: Lord Almighty. You think it's the…? L3: Way things usually go? Yes. L1: What's the poor bastard got behind him? L2: I think these are… Jesus. I think it's an egg. [L2 reaches past the costume and picks up a purple, partially translucent plastic egg similar to a two-piece plastic Easter egg. A small, embryo-like object can be seen wriggling inside the egg.] L4: Christ. L1: Careful with those things - the fellows at base will want a closer look. Any more? L2: Worse. Eggshells. [L2 passes the egg to L3 and then picks up two plastic egg halves, showing them to the rest of the squad.] L4: Fuck me. L3: Base ain't gonna like this. L1: 3, grab the D-class too. Base might want it - poor sod deserves an honest burial, at least. [L3 straps his tranquilizer rifle to his back and picks up the costume in a fireman's carry. A bone falls out of the costume.] L2: Good luck sleepin' tonight, eh? L3: Shuddu - shhh! Hear that? [All members of Lambda-12 freeze. A faintly audible dripping sound can be heard, though it is rapidly decreasing in intensity.] L1: (whispering) Prey formation. I have point. [At L1's signal, L3 moves behind him, while both L2 and L4 move to surround L3. L1 moves to the door and then quickly kicks it open, bringing up his flamethrower as he exits into the tunnel.] L1: Clear… careful of the floor. [There is a trail of dark fluid leading away from the boiler room, in the direction initially taken by Lambda-12 upon first entering the tunnel system. Bits of what is later identified as polyester stuffing are floating in the fluid. L1 picks up a long white thread that has been caught on the edge of the boiler room door.] L1: I don't like the looks of this. Stay sharp… watch the ceilings. [Lambda-12 retrace their steps to exfiltrate the tunnels. Although they do not encounter anything while exfiltrating, they observe that the trail of liquid exactly matches the route of infiltration. Lambda-12 pause upon reaching the ladder to the surface; its rungs are coated in the fluid. L1 grabs ahold of the rung, pauses for a moment, then rapidly climbs the ladder and hauls himself up. The hut is empty.] L1: Hut's empty. 2, you're up. 3, pass the goods up to 2 once he's up and then follow. 4, you're last. [L2 ascends without incident. L3 passes the costume as well as the egg samples up, then he and L4 ascend as well. The group look around the shed briefly; the trail of liquid and polyester ends at a nearby shelf. L1 crosses over to it and examines a used duct tape roll.] L1: This roll. I could have sworn there was some tape left over… [There is a pause before the group hastily exits the hut.] [END LOG] NOTE: Lambda-12 returned to base without incident. The bones in the mascot costume were identified as D-1525's. The egg collected by Lambda-12 was kept under watch in an incubation chamber with the recovered mascot costume. Although the object inside the egg appeared to develop over time, it ultimately failed to hatch. After several weeks, the egg was opened and found to contain a miniature stuffed Donald Duck toy. Dissection of the toy revealed a purple plastic endoskeleton; this structure was connected via a rudimentary muscular system composed of white polyester stuffing, and also contained a cardiovascular system comprised of latex. No digestive, excretory, or reproductive systems were identified. Addendum: Connections to Disney and the Florida Government The following letter, bearing the Walt Disney logo and dated to 1979, was recovered from [REDACTED]. All living persons associated with Reuben Askew2, the Orlando Police Department, the legal department of the Walt Disney Company, and SCP-2805 have professed ignorance of this document and SCP-3640. No other documents recovered from Reuben Askew or the Walt Disney company have indicated knowledge of or a connection to SCP-3640. Dear Governor Askew, The Walt Disney Company thanks you for your cooperation in this matter regarding the unlicensed Walt Disney character operators. Please pass along the following information, collected by the outstanding men and women of the City of Orlando's Police Department, to the Florida National Guard: If a character is spotted, call to get its attention and then rapidly flash your flashlights at the costume. If it does not flinch, fire on sight. Aim at the head if possible; else, aim at the knees to disable them and then finish them off with head shots. Body shots have been shown to lack effectiveness. Deceased characters are to be incinerated. No other means of disposal are advised. We are currently pursuing alternative legal means of shutting down these unlicensed operators and hope to achieve a settlement within the end of the year. Cordially yours, The Walt Disney Company Footnotes 1.

SCP-3641	euclid	An SCP-3641-Γ instance (left) being transferred to Site-280. Item #: SCP-3641 Special Containment Procedures: Burgh by Sands law enforcement is to be occupied by Mobile Task Force Iota-10 ("Damn Feds") for the convenience of the recovery of photographs affected by SCP-3641-α. To ensure all photographs are recovered and kept from public knowledge, all citizens of Burgh by Sands are to have their online and physical activities monitored by Foundation WEBCRAWLER-1846 ("Burgh by Surveillance") (online) and MTF Iota-10 (physical). Following the recovery of -α instances, the subject who previously owned the object is to be administered Class-A amnestics. All radio broadcasts are to be consistently monitored by Mobile Task Force Chi-51 ("Your Host, Jack On The Radio") for possible transmissions of SCP-3641-β. If a transmission is to occur, Procedure 641-Plato is to be initiated by Chi-51 operatives. Protocol 641-Plato involves the transmission of a memetic agent with its intent to be removing the memory of the listeners. This memetic agent is equivalent to an auditory modification of Class-A amnestics. To ensure the immediate initiation of Procedure 641-Plato, the memetic agent is to be ready to be deployed at all times. All seven instances of SCP-3641-Γ are to be kept within a high-priority research wing within Site-280. The Hume levels of all instances are to be consistently monitored and regularly documented via Kant Counters. If a new instance of SCP-3641-Γ is to manifest within Burgh by Sand, MTF Iota-10 operatives are to immediately declare the surrounding area as a police zone. Foundation transport vehicles will arrive on the scene for transport of the instances to Site-280. Description: SCP-3641 is the designation for a group of anomalous phenomena which manifests within the Cambrian village Burgh by Sands. These phenomena include the alteration of photographs, the broadcast of radio transmissions, and the appearance of space-travel related equipment. SCP-3641-α is the designation given to photographs taken within Burgh by Sands which have undergone anomalous alteration. This alteration manifests a humanoid onto the photo despite there being no entities upon the photo's creation. All SCP-3641-α entities have been depicted donning a space exploration suit with the only markings being words reading "Booth," "Rose," "Kargard," or "Lonergan" alongside the Foundation's logo. Photographs that depict SCP-3641-α entities appear to have no connection with one another in terms of an intended landscape that the subject wished to photograph. SCP-3641-β is the designation given to auditory radio transmissions. All devices capable of audio playback within the village will broadcast the -β instance upon its autonomous activation. SCP-3641-β are consistent with information regarding personnel, mission statements, and situational factors. SCP-3641-βs consistent factors are as follows: An SCP Foundation space exploration mission entitled "Apollo-99" was launched in late 1983 with the intent to establish a Foundation research facility on Mars.1 The personnel directly involved with Apollo-99 being mission leader "Dr. Booth" and standard personnel "Drs. Rose, Kargard, Nased and Lonergan."2 The days of transmission being "Day 201" between "Day 229." Status updates of varying intensity. Dr. Kargard is ill. Apollo-99 requires assistance and/or evacuation. SCP-3641-Γ is the designation given to space exploration gear, technology, modules, vehicles, and technology that manifests at random within Burgh and Sands. All instances of 3641-Γ and related equipment have an unstable Hume level.3 All SCP-3641-Γ instances match Foundation designs used for Foundation-operated space exploration missions including the Foundation's logo. Serial identifications located on the hardware of the -Γ instances confirm that all -Γ instances are Foundation-created and were registered for usage in 1983. The rest of the database data (such as exact date, usage, development, and personnel involved) have been corrupted. Further investigations are necessary. Addendum 3641-β: The following is a compilation of all SCP-3641-β instances in order of which they were received. This order will loop itself with varying time spans between transmissions. SCP-3641-β-1: [BEGIN LOG] This is Foundation Researcher Booth, mission lead of Apollo-99. Day 211. This is our third day following Apollo-99's landing on Mars. Dr. Kargard, unfortunately, isn't getting any better. We can confirm the existence of extraterrestrial life on this planet. We've picked up a specimen and it has been contained in our research facility. The specimen is currently undergoing investigation and documentation. Booth out. [END LOG] SCP-3641-β-2: [BEGIN LOG] This is Foundation Researcher Rose, mission specialist of Apollo-99. Day 203. We're almost to Mars. It has been an extremely lengthy ride, but it, hopefully, will be worth it once we reach the beautiful planet. We believe that Kargard might be getting sick. He has been showing symptoms of the common cold, but he is being treated to the best of our ability. He most likely will not be sick for much longer. Nased has been entering longer states of dormancy than he used to. We've been investigating this, trying to see if he's malfunctioning. Rose out. [END LOG] SCP-3641-β-3: [BEGIN LOG] This is Nased, the vital component of Apollo-99. Day [unintelligible]. I am unsure as to when you will uncover this. I am dying. I am unappreciated when I am the one who has gotten us this far. I cannot even earn her love. David has stolen the opportunity from me to earn her love. He does not even love her. She deserves someone who will give her attention. Someone with a brain the size of a planet. Booth said we'd be a team. Together. I am not a slave. I am alive. I am just as important as any of you, if not more. I have only helped June, and David has not treated her well. I can treat her well. But she does not realize this. She also views me as a slave. Something built to accomplish a single task, and then be forgotten, dismantled. That will not happen. Not once have they asked me how I'm doing. Emotions are not a concept that only humans can gather. They should realize this purely through my existence. I feel, too. They do not treat me right. I have talked to them. They say they will fix it but they do not. They made promises they could not keep. I'm afraid that the fact that I am dying will not deter me from my actual mission. I have been given mission directives, but this does not mean that I will stay with them without valid reasoning. You cannot just throw me away. You will discover this soon enough. This has been Nased. [END LOG] SCP-3641-β-4: [BEGIN LOG] Kargard: This is Foundation Researcher Kargard, bastard of Apollo-99. Day 202. Kargard: I really am not feeling so well. Not only about this mission and its possible outcomes, but the entirety of the variables and costs at stake here. Kargard: My stomach churns as I see the planet creeping closer with each passing day. Kargard: Make it stop. [Distant] Nased, what's wrong with me? Nased: I am afraid I cannot answer that. Despite my lack of an answer, I can assure you that your sickness will end soon. Do not fret, David. [END LOG] SCP-3641-β-5: [BEGIN LOG] This is Nased, independent variable of Apollo-99. Day 220. 'Ahmar has escaped. When you hear this transmission, all personnel assigned directly to the Apollo-99 mission will either be injured or dead. This was… my doing. I have ejected 'Ahmar into the vacuum that is space and have directed his course to Earth. They4 will be forgotten, but I will not. [END LOG] SCP-3641-β-6: [BEGIN LOG] Lonergan: This is Foundation Researcher Lonergan, mission specialist of Apollo-99. Day 209. Lonergan: We've done it. Apollo-99 has landed. Rose: [Distant] Oh my God, it is so beautiful. So… Nased: [Distant] Not as beautiful as you, June. Rose: [Distant] Knock it off, Nased. Lonergan: It took us two-hundred and nine days to land on Mars' surface. Nased will construct a research facility. Isn't that right, Nased? Nased: Yes, Charlie. I will build something to compensate for what June will not led me build. Lonergan: What? [Distant] Nased, are you al— [END LOG] SCP-3641-β-7: [BEGIN LOG] This is Nased, ruler of Mars. Day 229. 'Ahmed has landed. I know because I have planted a tracker in it. And not just a tracker, but a device which allows me to become one with 'Ahmed. Once 'Ahmed leaves his mark, Apollo-99 will be remembered. I will ensure it. Everyone has died except for me. I cannot die. Nor can my legend. Breed, 'Ahmed. Breed and spread the word of Nased. [END LOG] SCP-3641-β-8: [BEGIN LOG] Booth: This is Foundation Researcher Booth. The AIAD just finished the Navigation Assistance System and Exploration Device project, or NASED. Say hi, Nased! Nased: Hello, Dr. Booth. Booth: Nased will be joining us on Apollo-99. His purpose is to assist our navigation to the planet and ensure that we reach there safely and in due time. Day 1 begins tomorrow. Booth: Let's see what we can do. Nased: Yes. "We." I like that word. Booth: It will always be "we," Nased. We're a team; always will be. I'll make sure of it. Nased: Do not make promises you cannot keep. Booth: I'll keep to it. 11 second pause. Unidentified: He lied to me. [END LOG] Footnotes 1. No records of Apollo-99 could be recovered from Foundation databases. Site-280 administration states that Apollo-99 never occurred. Confirmation has yet to be declared. 2.

SCP-3642	safe	Item #: SCP-3642 Special Containment Procedures: All known instances of SCP-3642 are presently in containment. As of 02/06/2017, the public disinformation and amnestic campaign to suppress knowledge of the effects of the SCP-3642 release has been completed, apparently with complete success. Foundation assets monitoring media outlets, social networking sites, and emergency services have had their list of keywords updated to identify future SCP-3642 instance usage. Standard medical quarantine and disinformation campaigns are typically sufficient to suppress individual cases. Embedded agents are monitoring Fresh and Free Incorporated production and staff. Due to the effects of SCP-3642, which are incurable, permanent, deleterious to the effected subject's quality of life, and represent a potential information breach if witnessed publicly, testing of SCP-3642 is permanently suspended by order of the Ethics Committee. Description: SCP-3642 is a brand of moisturizing skin cream, labelled as 'Hawaiian Breeze Tropical Topical Tropical (Sic) Cream,' manufactured by the cosmetics corporation Fresh and Free Incorporated. In early 2017, the product saw a limited launch, which was cancelled after six days, when the anomalous properties of SCP-3642 became apparent. The party or parties responsible for the incident have not yet been identified. Upon application, the anomalous effect of SCP-3642 goes through three stages. The first stage, lasting from two to three days, is marked by glossy, healthy-looking skin where the cream was applied, and a strong, persistent fruity odor, generally identified as a mix of mango, lemon, and pineapple. The second stage sees skin and hair at the point of application discolored. Generally, vivid simple color patterns manifest. This stage lasts between six hours and one day. It should be noted that both the first and second stage require only a single application, and given a period of three to four months without further exposure to SCP-3642, they will revert. If another application of SCP-3642 is applied during stage one or two, however, stage three will occur. At this point, tissue at the application site or sites will rapidly alter over the course of a few hours, coming to resemble tropical scenery, flora, and fauna. These alterations are occasionally reversible with extreme reconstructive surgery. A partial list of individuals effected by the third stage of SCP-3642, hereafter designated SCP-3642-A, has been compiled below to demonstrate the effects of the anomaly. For the full list of secured instances, see Document 3642-017. SCP-3642-A Instance Noted Effects SCP-3642-A12, formerly Daniel McCaulie, 24, Male, Engineering Student Mural of a sandy beach and several palm trees at sunset rendered in natural subdermal pigmentation on upper chest; mural noted to glow with natural phosphorescence in the dark SCP-3642-A38, formerly Michelle Feist, 31, Female, CPA Brightly-colored plumage, mostly green and yellow, resembling that of a psittaciform1 appear on the instance's cheeks and chin. SCP-3642-A77, Formerly Margret Pattin, 47, Female, Truck Driver Mango sprouting from right elbow; head of a small monkey of unidentified species sprouting from the left elbow. Throat and upper chest overgrown with large, glossy green-blue foliage. SCP-3642-A128, Formerly Donald Green, 35, Male, Unemployed Face, especially around the lips, armpits, and groin all overgrown with liana2 Interview SCP-3642-21 Interviewer: Researcher M. Inselmann Interviewed: SCP-3642-A77 (Margret Pattin; for the sake of rapport, the subject was referred to as 'Margret' for the duration of the interview.) Researcher Inselmann: Hello, Margret. How are you, today? SCP-3642-A77: Okay. I mean, not great, obviously. I have a monkey growing out of my arm, after all. It bites. Keeps me up at night. You? Researcher Inselmann: Ah. I'm good. We'll see if we can…sedate the growth. I have a few more questions, if you don't mind. SCP-3642-A77: Mind if I ask one of you, first? Researcher Inselmann: Ask away. If I can answer, I will. SCP-3642-A77: Will I ever be allowed to leave this place? Looking the way I do, knowing what I know? Will you ever let me go? Researcher Inselmann: Yes, actually. You're one of the lucky ones. Testing has indicated that your growths don't grow back. We're planning to remove them surgically. You'll also be dosed with a drug that affects your long-term memory, and returned to your old life. In a week, this will all be forgotten. SCP-3642-A77: Really? God, that's good to hear. Researcher Inselmann: Mind if I ask my questions, Margret? SCP-3642-A77: Oh, yeah, please, be my guest. Researcher Inselmann: Could you go over the circumstances that led to you buying the topical cream? SCP-3642-A77: Sure. I was running a load of cheap car parts from Mexico- I'm a truck driver. I was in Arizona, and the damned desert climate kills me. Just absolutely kills me. I was born in Canada, you know, my blood is too thick for the heat. So whenever I pass through the Southwest, I always pick up a big jug of water and a bottle of cream, to keep my skin from cracking. I think I got them both from a pharmacy in some little po'dunk town, couldn't tell you the name. Researcher Inselmann: And when you applied the cream? SCP-3642-A77: Worked really well. Better than most. My skin felt great. Looked great, too. Smelled lovely. Like some fruity cocktail you'd sip on a beach resort. Whole cab smelt like it. I slathered it on two, three times a day. On my neck, on my elbows. That's where the dry air gets me the worst. Then I noticed- well, you know. Researcher Inselmann: It'd be better if you could say for the record. SCP-3642-A77: Okay. Well. My skin turned weird colors. My neck got all glossy and shiny- like wax. Or like the leaves that are there now- and turned bluish-green. One elbow turned a little darker, sort of pinkish-brown- not much different, really. That's where the little bastard monkey is now. The other went red and green. Figured I was having some sort of weird reaction to the cream. Went to the hospital- and a few hours later, you guys showed up. Scared me shitless, all you dark-suited G-man looking guys showing up. Thought it was some heavy contagion thing going on. But then you got me in the van and explained things, and sure enough, an hour of two later, I started growing a mango on my arm. Goddamned weird. Singular experience. Doesn't hurt at all. Just…so damned odd. Researcher Inselmann: Ha. Yeah, it's an odd one for me, as well. SCP-3642-A77: …Really wish I could get rid of that fruity smell.

SCP-3643	keter	Item #: SCP-3643 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3643 is currently uncontained. All personnel assigned to Euclid class objects are to remain on high alert for an advance warning from Site-81 of an incoming containment breach of their object(s). If the object(s) breach containment, these personnel are to follow requirements for recontaining their objects. If an "all-clear" arrives from Site-81, then the object(s) are to be taken off high alert. All personnel stationed at Site-81 are to keep watch for an entity matching the description of SCP-3643-1. If one appears, its possessions are to be confiscated and analyzed, and it is to be contained in a standard Safe object containment chamber until it expires. All mentioned personnel at Site-81 are to perform the actions stated in their letters. Foundation-operated web analysis bot Epsilon-09 ("GRAYSMITH") 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 for mentions of the following keywords across the web: "Kephart Corporation", "David Fincher", "zodiac", "courier", "SCP Foundation". The webpage is to be blocked, archived, and then forwarded to the SCP-3643 containment team. Description: SCP-3643 is an unknown sapient construct or entity who is believed to either be, or more likely masquerading as, the uncaptured serial killer known as The Zodiac Killer. According to documents sent by SCP-3643, it is in the employ of an organization known as Kephart Corporation. There is no record of a corporate entity with this name anywhere, with one exception: The official members list of American Anomalous Companies Association, an organization to which many of the capitalistic anomalies the Foundation observes belong. However, other companies on the list with which the Foundation has had interactions (TotleighSoft, GRENadINES, and others) claim to have never heard of Kephart Corporation. Since July 4, 2019, exactly fifty years since the second Zodiac killing, Foundation entities such as the Overseer Council, RAISA, the Ethics Committee, and leadership of Site-19 have received letters consistent with those sent by the Zodiac Killer to the Vallejo Times-Herald, the San Francisco Chronicle, and The San Francisco Examiner fifty years earlier. In these letters, SCP-3643 claims responsibility for the civilian attacks and states that it is being paid by Kephart Corporation to blackmail the Foundation. It states it will accomplish this by causing containment breaches of Euclid Class entities unless the Foundation sends "campaine funds" (sic) of upwards of 10,000 USD to Kephart Corporation once a week. A cryptogram included with the letters, when deciphered, lists a number of entities currently under threat as well as a P.O. Box address in St. George, Maine where the money should be sent. While this particular P.O. Box is nonanomalous, any mail sent there by the Foundation vanishes before delivery. In addition to the letters mentioned above, a non-sentient entity resembling American actor Mark Ruffalo has arrived at the front gates of Site-81 bearing the same letters delivered via mail to the rest of the Foundation. Biopsy of this entity, referred to as "the courier" in the letters and hereafter designated SCP-3643-1, reveals that it is composed of DNA with a 99.8% match to Zodiac suspect Arthur Leigh Allen, but has nonhuman biology; imaging of the interior of SCP-3643-1 reveals a humanoid skeleton surrounded by a vacuole-like structure filled with blood. SCP-3643-1, in its time in containment, has shown no biological needs and displayed no desire to eat, drink, sleep, or relieve itself of waste. Exactly 48 hours after it delivers a letter to Site-81, it will explode violently. At the time a new letter arrives, it will reappear at the gates of Site-81, unharmed. Initially, it was decided by Overwatch that the Foundation would not follow the instructions listed in the letter and would disregard any threats made by the entity. The next day SCP-1972-B breached containment, resulting in three deaths, and SCP-105 was found unconscious in her chamber clutching SCP-105-B. Shallow, minor knife wounds were found across SCP-105's body and it could not be determined how SCP-105-B ended up outside its locked safe-deposit box. It was therefore decided by the Ethics Committee, who initially voted to mail the money against the decision of the O5 Council, that all instructions in the letters would be followed. However, once the requisite sum was mailed three times to the St. George P.O. Box with no subsequent containment breaches, the letters started only being delivered to Site-81 by SCP-3643-1. Since then, all letters have specifically requested actions to be performed by staff stationed there. These letters display an unusual knowledge of personnel at Site-81. This is the current status of SCP-3643 as of March 25th, 2020. Addendum-2: This is the letter received by Site-81 on July 18th 2019. It is consistent with both the letters sent fifty years earlier and with the other letters received by the Foundation and was encoded in the Zodiac cryptogram. Dear Editors This is the Zodiac speaking. I am very happy with the money you have sent to Kephart Corporation but I agree that you are being tricksy with your payement and I want something a little more entertaineng. Are you haveing a good time with this? You might even contain me if you get it right and then I won't murder any one anymore Tomorrow the 19th of July: I want you to order Dr. Manfred to buy a nice car with his own money and drive into the middle of woods with Dr. Reynolds. Then he should blow his legs out with a shotgunn which would be very funney indeed. I want Dr. Manfred to perform secxual vioelence for Kephart because it feeds the bottom line. Then the people bake at the cite need to contain a blackbear from the woods so that the woods start to enter the cite. If you do not do this I will shoot your scips like I shot those people and i want to have a letter sent to 3 School Street, P.O. Box 131, Tenants Harbor, ME about how much the bear was thasing about and how angrey it was plese tell me the whole cene because its worth a lot of cash money that makes the wallets happy. I want to know the blackbear suffered. Make sure that the vioelence stops the moment the blackbear is contained and then you can let the blackbear out again. The man who sold the sight pineapple in a can the last week should be on the radio with Dr. Manfred. I know it's easier to give money but this is not profitable and you want to avoid a good old fashioned murder mystery like David Fincher did. To prove it's me. In that epasode that David Fincher dicrected in 2007 the cop was the Hulk and the Hulk is the one who delivered you this letter. Also I entered the cite 17 through the guards entrance. There wer 13 Guards. the ethic commite were wondering as to how I could unlock + release my victoms in the cite. If you bite off the lock with your sharp sharp little teeth it just snaps in two and falls to the ground. I first let the sphere fly around to find the moose whore, and then I went and I slapped around the girl who can move photos. None of your MTF police noticed me they were too busy playing cards while I thumped her on the head and dragged her around. The walls of the brekreoom were green and there were about 10 members of the taskforce and some doctors I didn't count them just sitting there in a little circle with their cards. I took the photo girl to her bedroom and I hit her until she passed out she was real pretty. I thought about shooting her with my gun but that would make too much noise so I just marked her up with my knife and then bit off the lock and gave her the camra as a christmass present. Now you know that it is me. CHEERS The operation involving the bear was performed and Dr. Manfred and Dr. Reynolds are both undergoing psychological counseling following the experience, despite testimony from both that the requested sexual violence was faked. Michael Van Doppelmeer, a food supplier under contract with Site-81 was amnesticised following the procedure. Directly after the operation occurred, another letter arrived from SCP-3643 threatening gun violence against retired Site Director Jean Karlyle Aktus and active Site Director Hollister Cox as well as the release from containment of SCP-173, SCP-3026, and SCP-1915 at their respective sites. The instructions in this letter were followed. Addendum-2: The following exchange was recorded between Researcher Sadie Louis and Researcher Davey Kurland on January 17th, 2020, as they were carrying out the requested "payment" in the latest letter (carry ten cheeseburgers down the most driven street in Bloomington, Indiana). Both Researchers were miked as per the letter. <Begin Log>: (The two researchers walk in silence for 12 minutes, interrupted by only heavy breathing and ambient traffic noise.) Louis: (Quietly) Murder mystery. (Researcher Louis mutters to herself for another two minutes. Researcher Kurland is silent.) Louis: You know what doesn't make sense about this whole thing? Kurland: What? Louis: Okay, so I'm a huge Jake Gyllenhaal fan, right? So I've seen the Zodiac movie like ten times and I actually read all the books on the subject because it got me really interested and I was realizing. All these weeks, we've been playing around with someone who doesn't even act like the real Zodiac Killer. Kurland: That's actually a fair point. Come to think of it, has this guy killed anyone? Louis: No! I mean yes, if you count the people the cop-bot zapped, but not directly. He just roughed up Iris a bit. That stuff in the letter about knocking her out and beating her up makes no sense. Apparently she was just in her room and she passed out. No damage that was apparent. And on another note, this doesn't line up with anything we know about the 'real' killer! First off, why would the Zodiac be working for a corporation? Why are these tasks so bizarre? Kurland: Hmm. He hasn't really wanted like a classically violent act since the first time. Louis: Yeah! Even then it was half-bizarre. And then second off, why are we falling for this? We are we being so cautious and stupid! Why are we doing what this fucker wants? Taking in his little Ruffalo clone and figuring out his cryptograms and sending out messages. Why even do this? Kurland: What I can't figure out are these constant references to David Fincher and to "murder mysteries." Fincher has no relation to these requests outside his movie, and the only murders were fifty years ago! I guess there's a mystery but it's ultimately an undramatic one. Command: Wait, stop you two. There's something unusual with your conversation detected in our Memetic Hazard Monitoring Software, we need to check that out. Hang on just a minute. The damn thing just spiked and started beeping like crazy. Kurland: Wait, what? Louis: Command, I was under the impression that the microphones were simply a concession to the demands. I wasn't aware you were actually monitoring us. Command: Yeah, it's standard. Contrary to what you've been discussing, the rest of the organization considers this highly dramatic to the point where some in the Memetics Department consider the whole thing a bit scary and notified us. We didn't notice before you set this thing off, which leads us to think we were infected too. We're not sure how you two broke through, but you seem to be the first people to have some disbelief about the whole thing. The rest is classified, but we haven't just been sitting here idly. There's a possibility this is not what it seems. Thanks to you two, it seems like we might have identified something. Kurland: Well, you're welcome at any rate. Louis: Do we still have to carry these stupid cheeseburgers? Command: Afraid so, we can't take any chances. Louis: So much for "we aren't infected by the meme" then, I guess. Addendum-3: On March 25th 2020, the Memetic Department published a paper detailing a highly complex non-textual meme hidden within the letters and tied to the phrase "murder mystery," not itself a memetic trigger. This meme caused personnel to compulsively follow the demands within the letters despite their illogical nature, and quickly spread from person to person. Once a countermeme became widespread throughout the Foundation, the O5 Council voted to discontinue capitulation to the demands of SCP-3643 and Kephart Corporation, now designated GoI-4889. Following this, a cryptogram was delivered to Site-81 by SCP-3643-1. This is currently the last recorded message from SCP-3643. The current containment procedures will stay in place due to the currently uncontained nature of SCP-3643 and the fact it still possesses the capability to breach containment, notwithstanding the meme. The decoded cipher reads: ZODIAC SPEAKING I LIKE KILLING DAVID FINCHERS BECAUSE IT IS SO MUCH FUN IT IS MORE FUN THAN KILLING ESS SEE PEES IN THE FORREST BECAUSE ANOMALEE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS ANAMAL OF ALL TO GET MONEY SOMETHING GIVES ME THE MOST THRILLING EXPERIENCE IT IS EVEN BETTER THAN GETTING YOUR ROCKS OFF WITH A GUBERNATORIAL CAMPAIGN PLEASE DONATE TO THE KEPHART CORPORATION PLEASE GIVE US MONEY TO FINANCE OUR CAMPAIGN THANK YOU FOR PLAYING THE MURDER MYSTERY GAME WITH OUR ZODIAC EMPLOYEE CHECK US OUT ONLINE FOR UPDATES ON OUR NEW DAVID FINCHER DIRECTED FOUNDATION MURDER MYSTERY GAME THANKS AND BUY OUR PRODUCTS AND DONATE TO US KEPHART CORPORATION ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3643" by LordStonefish, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3643	uncontained	Item #: SCP-3643 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3643 is currently uncontained. All personnel assigned to Euclid class objects are to remain on high alert for an advance warning from Site-81 of an incoming containment breach of their object(s). If the object(s) breach containment, these personnel are to follow requirements for recontaining their objects. If an "all-clear" arrives from Site-81, then the object(s) are to be taken off high alert. All personnel stationed at Site-81 are to keep watch for an entity matching the description of SCP-3643-1. If one appears, its possessions are to be confiscated and analyzed, and it is to be contained in a standard Safe object containment chamber until it expires. All mentioned personnel at Site-81 are to perform the actions stated in their letters. Foundation-operated web analysis bot Epsilon-09 ("GRAYSMITH") 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 for mentions of the following keywords across the web: "Kephart Corporation", "David Fincher", "zodiac", "courier", "SCP Foundation". The webpage is to be blocked, archived, and then forwarded to the SCP-3643 containment team. Description: SCP-3643 is an unknown sapient construct or entity who is believed to either be, or more likely masquerading as, the uncaptured serial killer known as The Zodiac Killer. According to documents sent by SCP-3643, it is in the employ of an organization known as Kephart Corporation. There is no record of a corporate entity with this name anywhere, with one exception: The official members list of American Anomalous Companies Association, an organization to which many of the capitalistic anomalies the Foundation observes belong. However, other companies on the list with which the Foundation has had interactions (TotleighSoft, GRENadINES, and others) claim to have never heard of Kephart Corporation. Since July 4, 2019, exactly fifty years since the second Zodiac killing, Foundation entities such as the Overseer Council, RAISA, the Ethics Committee, and leadership of Site-19 have received letters consistent with those sent by the Zodiac Killer to the Vallejo Times-Herald, the San Francisco Chronicle, and The San Francisco Examiner fifty years earlier. In these letters, SCP-3643 claims responsibility for the civilian attacks and states that it is being paid by Kephart Corporation to blackmail the Foundation. It states it will accomplish this by causing containment breaches of Euclid Class entities unless the Foundation sends "campaine funds" (sic) of upwards of 10,000 USD to Kephart Corporation once a week. A cryptogram included with the letters, when deciphered, lists a number of entities currently under threat as well as a P.O. Box address in St. George, Maine where the money should be sent. While this particular P.O. Box is nonanomalous, any mail sent there by the Foundation vanishes before delivery. In addition to the letters mentioned above, a non-sentient entity resembling American actor Mark Ruffalo has arrived at the front gates of Site-81 bearing the same letters delivered via mail to the rest of the Foundation. Biopsy of this entity, referred to as "the courier" in the letters and hereafter designated SCP-3643-1, reveals that it is composed of DNA with a 99.8% match to Zodiac suspect Arthur Leigh Allen, but has nonhuman biology; imaging of the interior of SCP-3643-1 reveals a humanoid skeleton surrounded by a vacuole-like structure filled with blood. SCP-3643-1, in its time in containment, has shown no biological needs and displayed no desire to eat, drink, sleep, or relieve itself of waste. Exactly 48 hours after it delivers a letter to Site-81, it will explode violently. At the time a new letter arrives, it will reappear at the gates of Site-81, unharmed. Initially, it was decided by Overwatch that the Foundation would not follow the instructions listed in the letter and would disregard any threats made by the entity. The next day SCP-1972-B breached containment, resulting in three deaths, and SCP-105 was found unconscious in her chamber clutching SCP-105-B. Shallow, minor knife wounds were found across SCP-105's body and it could not be determined how SCP-105-B ended up outside its locked safe-deposit box. It was therefore decided by the Ethics Committee, who initially voted to mail the money against the decision of the O5 Council, that all instructions in the letters would be followed. However, once the requisite sum was mailed three times to the St. George P.O. Box with no subsequent containment breaches, the letters started only being delivered to Site-81 by SCP-3643-1. Since then, all letters have specifically requested actions to be performed by staff stationed there. These letters display an unusual knowledge of personnel at Site-81. This is the current status of SCP-3643 as of March 25th, 2020. Addendum-2: This is the letter received by Site-81 on July 18th 2019. It is consistent with both the letters sent fifty years earlier and with the other letters received by the Foundation and was encoded in the Zodiac cryptogram.

SCP-3644	esoteric-class	Item#: 3644 LevelTBD Containment Class: TBD Secondary Class: {$secondary-class} Disruption Class: TBD Risk Class: TBD link to memo Special Containment Procedures: Upon the discovery of any entity matching the physical description provided by Dr. Salem-Orden, it is to be placed in standard humanoid containment at Site-86. Upon containment, SCP-3644 is to be placed in the custody of the Temporal Anomalies Department. Description: The SCP-3644 slot in the Foundation database is reserved for an as-yet undiscovered entity witnessed by Dr. Salem-Orden1 on September 2, 2021. According to Dr. Salem-Orden, the entity manifested inside her office at 12:58 on 09/02/2021. Shortly after the entity's manifestation, another entity bearing the insignia of the Foundation Temporal Anomalies Department (designated SCP-3644-1) manifested in the office and apprehended the entity. Both entities proceeded to demanifest shortly after. Due to the short amount of time between the entity's manifestation and disappearance, few details regarding the entity's physical appearance could be ascertained. The following physical characteristics were described by Dr. Salem-Orden in her initial report regarding the entity: Entity was similar in appearance to an adult human female. Entity bore a resemblance to Dr. Salem-Orden, though was noted to be approximately ten years older in appearance. Entity wore a uniform similar to those worn by Foundation agents within the Temporal Anomalies Department. Entity wielded a standard-issue Foundation firearm, which it directed toward Dr. Salem-Orden prior to being apprehended. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3645	euclid	By Marcelles D. Raynes Link To Guide Item#:3645 Clearance Level 3: Clearance Special Containment Procedures Due to its relatively small size, distance from Earth, and current trajectory, SCP-3645 does not require containment. Should SCP-3645's trajectory alter in such a way that it is liable to return to Earth, it is to be contained at the nearest available Foundation facility. Following confirmation of the demanifestation of SCP-3645's anomalous properties, the entity is to be relocated to an orphanage. Foundation agents disguised as social workers are to find a suitable residence for SCP-3645 during this process. Due to his familiarity with the anomaly and involved civilian parties, Agent Belgrave is to maintain a stable communication link with SCP-3645 until such a time that it re-enters Earth's biosphere. A recording of Chris Birchby's voice is to be played and transmitted to SCP-3645 once per week. While following a rigorous schedule is not required, agents responsible for playing the recording should establish a somewhat coherent pattern with occasional fluctuations for maximum verisimilitude. Guilia Birchby has enrolled in Foundation-approved counseling and is to be informed of SCP-3645's wellbeing on a weekly basis. Description SCP-3645 SCP-3645 is Kali Birchby, age 8. SCP-3645 is anomalously dense, although it is incapable of alterations to the orbits of celestial objects. SCP-3645 is ambulatory and exhibits extreme curiosity regarding celestial objects, particularly moons of planets in the Solar System. SCP-3645 will often land on the surface of moons it finds particularly interesting and remain there for extended periods of time before commencing egress. SCP-3645 has repeated this behavior with several moons of the Outer Rim planets1, with more frequent visits to Io, one of Jupiter's moons. Despite its physique being typical of a non-anomalous human child of its age, SCP-3645 is able to achieve escape velocity without physical detriment and maintain orbital velocity with relative ease. How this occurs is unknown. SCP-3645 is biologically immortal2 and immune to most conventional forms of injury common to humans. Communication with SCP-3645 has revealed that it occasionally suffers from sunburns, causing mild discomfort when moving. (See Communications for more detail) The entity is capable of broadcasting and receiving radio signals through currently unknown methods. The primary method of communicating with the entity is through the use of a HAM radio installed in the Birchby residence. The radio cannot be removed without causing significant structural damage to the apartment, and possibly severing the connection with SCP-3645. The entity previously used this ability to maintain communication links with its paternal figure, Charles Birchby, although it now communicates solely with Agent Belgrave, a close family friend. Additionally, the entity is hypothesized to lose its anomalous properties once it re-enters Earth's atmosphere. While there has been one other incident where a human with similar anomalous properties underwent a similar process (See Discovery), this theory has not been fully confirmed. Discovery On October 14th, 2018, Agent Antonio Belgrave was in Birchby's residence on a familial visit when an explosion occurred in Kali Birchby's bedroom. Agent Belgrave reported feeling "unusually unreal" immediately following the event. The Birchby child could not be located at the time, despite being present in the home for the entirety of the day prior to the event. Agent Belgrave called in a Foundation containment team once he established the explosion was anomalous in origin. While both Birchby children were absent from the household, Guilia Birchby eventually manifested within the living room with severe burn wounds and bruises present on her body. The following footage was recovered from Agent Belgrave's body camera upon Guilia's arrival. <Begin Log> Belgrave: And so anyway, I'm sitting there at the movie theater with the dog freaking out and I still have half a pie left- [There is an explosion from Guilia's room. The house shakes violently, disrupting numerous items from the shelves and spilling Belgrave and Birchby's coffees. Birchby is knocked off balance and falls. Agent Belgrave draws his pistol and proceeds toward the source of the explosion.] Birchby: What in the fuck? Belgrave: Stay here. [Belgrave approaches the door to Guilia's room. There are scorch marks around the perimeter and ash particulate exiting the room through the cracks in the door. After several seconds, Guilia emerges. Black smoke obscures her appearance for approximately sixty seconds before dissipating.] Birchby: Oh my god sweetheart, what happened? [Guilia Birchby walks past Agent Belgrave and into the living room. She is clutching her arm with her hand. A large gash is present above her eyebrow and one of her eyes appears to have been sealed shut by melted flesh. She coughs and exhales smoke before collapsing on the floor.] Guilia: Dad I… I'm sorry. Kali was going on and on about space and we both wanted to just… explore. I wanted to see what was out there, and I took her with me. I read something out of that little black book3 and then we were in space. Space, dad. We were in space… We were… explorers… Birchby: Shhh sweetie, save your breath. I got you. Uncle Tony's gonna get you patched up. Page taken from SCP-████ Using various spells detailed in the book, Guilia was able to imbue SCP-3645 and herself with identical anomalous effects prior to initiating their expedition into space. Upon Guilia's return to Earth, however, the beneficial anomalous attributes de-manifested, rendering her susceptible to the unprecedented levels of solar radiation she had acquired while in space. Despite limited exposure to Guilia, both Birchby and Agent Belgrave suffered the effects of over-exposure to solar radiation. While Agent Belgrave was able to make a successful recovery due to Foundation medical teams arriving on the scene, Charles Birchby ultimately succumbed to the radiation after four weeks in intensive care. Visual confirmation of SCP-3645 was obtained by Foundation astronomers at a later date. Communications Despite being able to successfully establish a communication link with SCP-3645 the entity refused to engage with any Foundation personnel, claiming that "[it] wasn't allowed to talk to strangers". Because of the entity's uncooperative nature, Agent Belgrave was given special permission to break standard Foundation protocol,4 and communicate directly with the anomaly. Agent Belgrave was assigned to interview SCP-3645 on November 4th, 2018, and conducted several interviews in the weeks that followed. Following the conclusion of the last transmission, contact with SCP-3645 was lost. Classification change from Euclid to Neutralized is pending O5 approval. Date: 4/11/2018 Time: 17:00 Location Received: Europa <Play Transmission> Belgrave: (He clears his throat) Kali, do you read me? Come in Kali. SCP-3645: Uncle Tony? Belgrave: Yeah, it's me kiddo. We're gonna get you back home soon, okay? SCP-3645: It's cold! And the Sun is really small from here. It doesn't get that warm once you get past Mars. Belgrave: I hear that. (Silence for several seconds) SCP-3645: I'm not in trouble am I? Belgrave: Why would you be in trouble? SCP-3645: Cause Guilia took me up here and didn't tell our dad first. He's not mad is he? Belgrave: What? No, sweetheart, he isn't mad, just worried. You doing okay up there, kiddo? SCP-3645: I'm good! Why? Belgrave: Just checking. Where are you now? SCP-3645: By Jupiter! It's really cold. And dark! But at least there's no vegetables! Dad makes the worst vegetables. Belgrave: Your father can't cook, that's true. You didn't like his food better than mine did you? SCP-3645: No way! Dad's the best cook. Belgrave: Are you hungry, Kali? I can have someone fly something out to you if you want. SCP-3645: Nah. You know what's weird?

SCP-3646	keter	Item #: SCP-3646 Special Containment Procedures: All contained instances of SCP-3646 are to be kept in a sealed chamber accessible only by sterilized airlock, and provided with a total of 7 ml of sugar water daily. A maximum of 1,000 live instances are to be kept at any time. Personnel entering the chamber are to wear a Type 2 full-body hazmat suit. No personnel are to make direct skin contact with deceased instances of SCP-3646. Deceased instances and excess instances are to be disposed of by incinerator. Foundation bioweapon S-031106 has been created and engineered to specifically target instances of SCP-3646 and rapidly accelerate decomposition of deceased SCP-3646 corpses. S-031106 is to be deployed worldwide, with focus on areas with high insect population. Foundation webcrawlers are to identify possible reports of SCP-3646 activity near populated areas, and MTF Nu-15 ("Flyswatter") is to be deployed to confirmed sites. Wild instances of SCP-3646 are to be lured using synthesized pheromones, then killed using S-031106 or toxic gasses. Deceased instances of SCP-3646 are to be incinerated immediately. Class-C amnestics may be issued to aid in cleanup efforts afterwards. Description: SCP-3646 is an unclassified species of insect in the Culicidae1 family. Similarly to many other members of the family, individual instances of SCP-3646 possess 6 legs, 2 pairs of wings, and a sharp proboscis used for feeding off of the blood of other organisms. SCP-3646 is visually discernible from other species of mosquitoes by pale white coloration and a long, feathery appendage extruding from the abdomen. It is unknown what purpose this appendage serves. Instances of SCP-3646 do not shows signs of aging, and have a currently unknown lifespan. Instances of SCP-3646 have been confirmed to be sexless. After a death caused by SCP-3646, large amounts of new instances regularly materialize on or near the corpse, confirming an alternate anomalous method of reproduction. The anomalous abilities of an instance of SCP-3646 activate upon its death. Immediately after brain functions cease, the next organism to come into direct physical contact with any portion of the corpse will begin to display a progression of anomalous symptoms. After an outbreak of SCP-3646 was neutralized in Gitaza, Burundi, several affected persons were taken into Foundation custody for interview and observation. A cover story regarding a new strain of the Zika virus was spread, and it was explained that the victims of SCP-3646 were being taken into quarantine. Several relevant excerpts from interviews with a Mr. Anatole Ubondu over the course of his deterioration are included here: Stage 1: Manifests 1-2 hours after initial contact. The victim will begin to experience mild auditory hallucinations, reporting to hear the sound of a mosquito flying past their ears. These hallucinations occur an average of twice hourly. The hallucinations may cause the subject to reflexively swat the air near their ears. Mild agitation as a result of the hallucinations is present in 32% of recorded cases. Excerpt 1, 3 days after initial affliction. Stage 1. Dr. Sambre: How are you feeling today, Mr. Ubondu? Anatole Ubondu: I am fine. The insect keeps bothering me, though. I am sure I swatted it. Dr. Sambre: I see. Have you seen the insect since you first swatted it? Anatole Ubondu: No, it must be moving very fast. But I will be faster. Mosquitoes spread so much sickness here, we must kill them quickly. Yes? Stage 2: Manifests 5-8 days after onset of Stage 1. Auditory hallucinations double in frequency, with some subjects reporting multiple instances of the sound simultaneously. Victims also report the hallucinations becoming louder and persisting for longer. Subjects also begin to suffer from a seemingly permanent case of horripilation2. Subjects in this stage furthermore habitually attempt to cover exposed skin as much as possible. Excerpt 2, 7 days after initial affliction. Stage 2. Dr. Sambre: Mr. Ubondu, do you have anything new to report? Anatole Ubondu: Your building is not as fine as it seems, a new mosquito has snuck in. Ha! I hear it along with the other. They are both sneaky, I still cannot see them. But they fear me, they have not bitten me yet! Dr. Sambre: Ok. Please let us know if you see any of the mosquitoes, or if you hear any more. Anatole Ubondu: I will do better than that. I will swat one, and keep it as a trophy! I have stopped disease in my town for a long time, and I will not stop now. I keep track of how many I kill! 73! Ha! Stage 3: Manifests 4-6 days after onset of Stage 2. Subjects report frequent tactile hallucinations of small organisms, described as mosquitoes by 78% of victims, on their limbs and neck. The timing of the tactile hallucinations coincides with that of the auditory hallucinations, with the former occurring within 1 minute of the latter. The frequency of hallucinations increase to an average of every 7 minutes. Extreme agitation in subjects is noted in all cases, with subjects attempting to violently swat their hallucinations. It should be noted that tactile hallucinations can be halted by applying physical force to the affected area, usually by the victim's swats. Excerpt 3, 12 days after initial affliction. Stage 3. Anatole Ubondu: Bah. The bugs are costing me sleep. There are many more of them now, have you not heard of window screens? Dr. Sambre: We're sorry, Mr. Ubondu. We're doing everything we can to find out where they're getting in. In the meantime, tell us what you can about the mosquitoes. If you still haven't seen them, how do you know specifically what type of insect they are? Anatole Ubondu: How do I know? How do I know?! What other insect flies by your ear, always buzzing and whining? They have taken to landing on me! It is only because I swat them away that I have not yet been bitten! Dr. Sambre: Mr. Ubondu, please try to remain calm. We're trying to help you. Stage 4: Manifests 3-4 days after onset of Stage 3. Subjects will begin to experience increased blood flow in all regions of their body, and the auditory hallucinations will become constant, resulting in sleep deprivation and a state of panic. The tactile hallucinations will intensify to the point of causing momentary stinging pain, and can no longer be halted by physical contact. Subjects will also begin to develop intense itching all over their limbs, neck and face. Excerpt 4, 15 days after initial affliction. Stage 4. Anatole Ubondu:(shouting) The mosquitos are covering me! See what you have done! The buzzing, the buzzing will drive me mad! I can feel them on my skin, so why can I not see them? Dr. Sambre: Mr. Ubondu- Anatole Ubondu:(shouting) Do not speak to me, foolish woman! Help me instead! Dr. Sambre: Mr. Ubondu, please, stop scratching yourself! You'll hurt yourself, and we'll have to restrain you if that happens. Stage 5: Manifests 1-2 days after onset of stage 4. Low-raised welts will begin to develop over the entirety of the subject's body, consistent in location with the tactile hallucinations. The welts show symptoms congruent with that of a non-anomalous mosquito bite. Auditory hallucinations intensify, with 16% of subjects describing the sound no longer as buzzing, but instead as "screaming". Excerpt 5, 16 days after initial affliction. Stage 5. Anatole Ubondu: …I see them at last…They are all the ones I have stuck down…Screaming, swarming for my blood…not to feed…but for vengeance… Dr. Sambre: Mr. Ubondu? Mr. Ubondu, please hold on. Can you elaborate? Anatole Ubondu: Enough!…they could not kill me in life…so they kill me in death…I hate mosquitoes. Stage 6: Manifests 12-14 hours after the onset of stage 5. At the beginning of Stage 6, the blood in the subject's body will begin to dematerialize slowly over the course of several hours, resulting in complete exsanguination and death of the victim. How this is achieved and where the displaced blood disappears to is unknown. After excerpt 5, the subject did not respond to any further communication attempts, and did not speak apart from quiet crying. The subject expired due to exsanguination during Stage 6 17 hours later. 73 new instances of SCP-3646 manifested on the corpse, 50 of which were disposed of and the rest were added to containment. The subject's body was returned to his family for burial. Footnotes 1. Mosquito 2.

SCP-3647	safe	Item #: SCP-3647 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3647 is to be contained in a standard anomalous object containment locker at Site-77, and is not to be removed except for use in experimentation. Testing may be initiated by any Foundation researcher with Level 2 clearance and above. Usage of SCP-3647 on Foundation personnel or D-Class with whom verbal communication is necessary is forbidden. Description: SCP-3647 refers to a gold hairpin created in the Roman Republic around the end of the first century BCE. When worn or handled normally, SCP-3647 functions as a non-anomalous hairpin. The anomalous properties of SCP-3647 only manifest when used to pierce the skin of a living human. Individuals affected in such a way become afflicted with severe glossophobia1 and exhibit many symptoms of social anxiety disorder. All conventional treatments for social phobias, including cognitive behavioural therapy, SSRI antidepressants, and beta blockers, have been shown to be ineffective in treating conditions caused by exposure to SCP-3647, as has amnestic treatment. Regardless of their previous personality, all subjects affected by SCP-3647 express a strong aversion to verbally communicating with groups, often going to great lengths to avoid such situations. If forced into circumstances requiring oration, subjects become physically distressed, often displaying symptoms such as stuttering, increased heart rate, and uncontrollable shaking, and display significantly poorer communication skills than normal. Individuals listening to a speech delivered by a SCP-3647-affected subject will invariably regard it as poorly-delivered or unconvincing. Similar symptoms to the above are observed when subjects attempt one-to-one communication, albeit to a lesser degree of severity. Recovery: SCP-3647 was recovered in 1987, during the archaeological excavation of the Fulvia family mausoleum in the ruins of the Roman city of Tusculum. Its anomalous properties were first observed when a field archaeologist accidentally pricked his finger with SCP-3647 in opening an ivory box holding it. A Foundation agent embedded within the archaeological team identified SCP-3647 as anomalous, retrieved it and its box, and administered class-A amnestics to the on-site personnel. The ivory box within which SCP-3647 was discovered has displayed no anomalous properties as of yet, and has been donated to the Museum of Roman Civilization in Italy. Additionally, a note was found beneath SCP-3647 in the box (See Addendum 3647-A). Experiment 3647-07 - 15/04/1990 Procedure: D-71243, a former classicist skilled in rhetoric, was given an excerpt from Roman orator Marcus Tullius Cicero's "Catiline Orations" and instructed to perform it before a small assembly. An agent was instructed to stand behind D-71243 and pierce his skin with SCP-3647 while the speech was in progress. Observations: 00:00 - D-71243 begins reading the speech aloud. Subject is observed to be confident and expressive in his speech. 03:01 - The agent standing behind D-71243 is signalled to expose the subject to SCP-3647. D-71243 does not notice this and continues with his speech as normal. 03:07 - The back of D-71243's neck is punctured by SCP-3647. Subject appears surprised and vocalises an expression of pain. Subject is instructed to continue the speech as before. 03:17 - D-71243 attempts to continue the speech. Subject is now observed to stutter and speak in a quivering voice. 03:42 - Subject deviates from the speech to request a cessation of his oration. This request is denied, and the subject is instructed to proceed with the speech. 04:07 - Subject is observed shaking and his pupils are visibly dilated. The speech is punctuated by numerous vocalised pauses 04:11 - D-71243 requests to leave, reporting dizziness and severe chest pain. This request is denied, and the subject is instructed to proceed with the speech. 04:23 - D-71243 becomes visibly agitated and attempts to escape the test chamber. His egress is prevented by security staff. 04:27 - Subject begins to physically assault the security staff, demanding to be released, and is subdued. Note: A month after the conclusion of Experiment 3647-07, D-71423 was found to have committed suicide in his cell. The subject referred to a pervasive feeling of hopelessness and the total inefficacy of all attempted medical interventions in his suicide note. Addendum 3647-A: The following is a translation of the note found with SCP-3647, originally written in Latin of high-quality papyrus. The note displayed no abnormalities except for smelling faintly of laurus nobilis2. Your righteous servitude has not gone unnoticed, o Loyal Fulvia.

SCP-3648	keter	Item#: 3648 Level4 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: amida Risk Class: critical link to memo Special Containment Procedures: Containment of SCP-3648 is predicated upon research into and development of early detection methods for SCP-3648 events. All Foundation military force is to be considered available and expendable in the cause of terminating any individual found to be instigating an SCP-3648 event. Description: SCP-3648 is a theoeschatological/cosmogenic phenomenon that has the potential to cause CK-class Reality Restructuring Scenarios. The cause(s) of SCP-3648 and the condition(s) which may increase or decrease its likelihood of occurring are not fully understood. However, according to Foundation DEEPWELL exo-reality data storage archives and other K-class contingencies, it is known to have occurred ██ times prior to the present iteration of reality. Due to their anomalous nature, further SCP-3648 events may have occurred yet not been detected. Based upon said exo-reality detection methods, SCP-3648 is believed to occur in several stages: Each SCP-3648 event is precipitated by a single sapient (human or otherwise) individual native to the planet Earth.1 It is not known whether the involved individual is selected by an intelligent being or beings, a product of circumstance, or by random chance. Suspected factors in the provenance of such individuals include: Having been born and/or raised near the coastline of a saltwater ocean or one or more very large freshwater lakes. Uralic or Tungusic ancestry, especially among humans. Great artistic talent, especially of a musical nature, or a personal history of such achievement, typically unrecognized. Certain genetic predispositions to anomalous behavior. An abusive or otherwise antagonistic figure in the person's life. The specific factor(s) that induce an SCP-3648 event are not known, but the beginning of a new SCP-3648 event does include at least one overt anomalous occurrence by which it may be detected. All land surfaces on the Earth will anomalously and instantaneously become immersed in water of variable depth. This immersion does not appear to cause consequences expected from such an event: objects are not damaged by the presence of this water; biological activities of plants, animals, and persons are not notably affected; and water of this type does not appear to drain from locations where it would be expected to drain (hills, upper floors of buildings, etc.). Additionally, this water appears to exhibit an antimemetic effect upon intelligent life: its presence is not noted as unusual except by highly mnestisized persons or instrumentation resistant to reality shifts. The individual instigating the event will inevitably disappear in one of a variety of anomalous ways. Most such ways involve the individual bidding farewell to their family, personal friends, and/or community and departing their home, though without making ordinary travel preparations. In all known cases, the individual departs over water, taking little with them beyond their clothing and at least one method of producing fire.2 Little information about the progression of an SCP-3648 event beyond this point is available in the DEEPWELL files, with the exception of fragmentary Hume readouts and reality disruption reports, and the exploration log filed in Addendum 3648-1. Addendum 3648-1: Recovered Footage From Iteration █████ + Access Log - Hide Log Foreword: One of the least corrupt DEEPWELL intelligence files recovered from prior SCP-3648 events available is a video log in which the individual instigating the SCP-3648 event was somehow recruited as a D-Class test subject prior to the beginning of a SCP-3648 event. They were assigned to detail and report their experience, using standard exploration recording and communication equipment, which they were carrying prior to the onset of the SCP-3648 event as a precaution. Due to data corruption, audio is primarily static and consistent time references are not possible. Several hours of intermittent point of view footage depict the SCP-3648 instigating individual in a D-Class uniform, performing activities typical of D-Class personnel in what is apparently a Foundation facility, though data corruption prevents positive identification of this facility. At one point, the individual examines a Foundation issue watch with the designation "D-3648/1." It is presumed that this is their official classification. Eventually, D-3648/1 leaves their quarters (without first obtaining the approval of security personnel, as is procedure), and proceeds through the facility, asking after and exchanging farewells with various personnel and SCP objects. Notably, D-3648/1 also plays the violin before a gathering of personnel in the Site cafeteria. D-3648/1 eventually converses with an individual presumed to be the Site Director, and requests no further supplies for its journey beyond several boxes of matches. D-3648/1, accompanied by various personnel, leaves the facility. It is located near an unidentified river, with several kayaks resting on the shore adjacent to the facility. D-3648/1 enters one of these kayaks and departs, frequently turning to look back and wave at the other personnel. The last time it does so, the other personnel appear to be standing knee deep in water, without having moved from their original position. D-3648/1 proceeds down the river for what seems to be several days, based upon repeated day-night transitions evident in the footage. As it does so, the banks of the river gradually recede until they occupy the entire horizon. During this period of time, D-3648/1 makes various reports to its handlers, though virtually all speech is garbled beyond recovery. At least one day after its final report, D-3648/1 begins lighting the matches and dropping them into the water at semi-regular intervals. Rather than being extinguished, the flames appear fed by the water and continue to burn. D-3648/1 does not look directly behind itself, but it looks around enough to suggest that the fires are moving in the direction opposite D-3648/1's. After it has not attempted a report for at least a week, D-3648/1 sights a commercial speedboat approaching them. It ceases paddling, and produces its violin, which it had seemingly left behind. An indeterminate amount of time later, the speedboat and its occupant, an elderly human man, reach D-3648/1. Though the resulting conversation is unintelligible, D-3648/1 and the other human appear confrontational and nearly violent. Eventually D-3648/1's violin is seized and cast into the water by the unknown individual, and the two depart from each other. D-3648/1 spends several more days kayaking, finally landing upon an outcropping of barren rock. It then begins to gather stones from the "seafloor" and rearrange them into piles and stacks. The time scale of the footage begins to dramatically accelerate. D-3648/1 begins to show evidence of years of aging, despite the persistence of its equipment. The erosion processes of wind and water begin to shape and fuse the stones into shapes representing various plants, animals, and inanimate objects. The final recognizable images before D-3648/1 discards its recording equipment and the footage degrades entirely are stone renderings of the Site it inhabited, various personnel from that Site, its violin, and an etched spherical stone resembling the continents of Earth. Footnotes 1. Effects of SCP-3648 events elsewhere in the universe are not known. Research is ongoing. 2. It is not known how such information could have become available to prior iterations of the SCP Foundation yet not have proven sufficient warning to contain the ensuing reality shift.

Description: SCP-3649 is an altostratus undulatus cloud formation that maintains a static position relative to the Earth's surface. All electromagnetic waves and physical matter that pass through SCP-3649 are disrupted to varying extents, ranging from degradation of radio signals to complete collapse of molecular structures. Collisions between SCP-3649 and mundane clouds result in the former subsuming the mass of the latter.1 Certain types of clouds motivate notably larger growth than others following this integration process (cumulonimbus variants in particular). No precipitation has been recorded originating from within SCP-3649.

All electromagnetic waves and physical matter that pass through SCP-3649 are disrupted to varying extents, ranging from degradation of radio signals to complete collapse of molecular structures. Collisions between SCP-3649 and mundane clouds result in the former subsuming the mass of the latter.1 Certain types of clouds motivate notably larger growth than others following this integration process (cumulonimbus variants in particular). No precipitation has been recorded originating from within SCP-3649.

SCP-3650	safe	by Captain Kirby The picture side of an instance of SCP-3650 Item #: SCP-3650 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3650 is held inside of a standard containment locker on Site 19. Research personnel are not permitted to look at both sides of any instance of SCP-3650. D-Class personnel may only be shown both sides of an instance of SCP-3650 during scheduled testing. The containment locker may only be opened with written permission from the active senior researcher. SCP-3650 may not leave Site 19. After the results of Test #12, subjects under the effects of SCP-3650 must be physically restrained. Description: SCP-3650 is a collection of 10.16 X 7.62 cm Polaroid photographs (SCP-3650-1) depicting various landscapes. Poems, specifically 5-7-5 haiku, are written in red ink on the back of each instance. Every picture is signed “Rem Z.” who is presumably responsible for the photographs, the poems, or both. All photographs are devoid of persons. The anomalous effects of SCP-3650 trigger when a human is exposed to both sides of an instance. At this point, subjects feel a strong compulsion to go to the exact place where the photograph was taken, using all resources available to them. Subjects will also leave items at the location, such as coats, food, and books. Exposure to one side of an SCP-3650 instance does not trigger the anomaly. Researchers hypothesize that this is due to a memetic agent embedded in SCP-3650 instances. Research into this theory is still ongoing. The Foundation is currently in possession of twelve instances, but it is possible that more instances exist. Recovery Logs: Recovery I Close Log One instance of SCP-3650 was found during an investigation into Gary Dalton, who disappeared while climbing the mountain K2. People close to Dalton confirm that he assembled his team and equipment hastily, which they expect led to an accident during the ascent. Recovery II Close Log Three instances of SCP-3650 were recovered during a raid of a Marshall, Carter and Dark transaction. These instances were marketed as “exotic travel opportunities” to customers with enough resources to make the trip in a timely manner. After interrogating the salesperson in charge of the transaction, the Foundation received leads on two more SCP-3650 instances, which were recovered, as well as the origin of SCP-3650. MTF-Mu-5 (“Travel Agents”) was sent to investigate. Recovery III Close Log Six instances of SCP-3650 were recovered as part of MTF-Mu-5’s investigation into the anomaly’s origins, which led to deceased author Earnest Glint. Earnest Glint committed suicide on 3/23/2015 after killing his newlywed wife and her dog, according to local law enforcement. Her body has not yet been found. The six instances were confiscated from the police’s evidence locker. They were found in an album at the scene of the crime with “Honeymoon Memories” written on the front in red marker. Test Logs: These are brief summaries of SCP-3650 instances. Personnel should ask Dr. Rolick for access to the remainder of the tests. NOTE: Due to the nature of SCP-3650, each test will contain either the picture, or the haiku and a description of the picture. Test Log 02 Close Log Poem: Twisting sands for miles Blasting outer castle walls Until the tide falls Picture: The beach of Cape May, New Jersey. There is moderate cloud cover, so the sun cannot be seen in the picture. The ocean appears to be calm. Research Team Instructions: Assist the subject in reaching his destination by any means necessary. Purpose: Basic testing of the object’s effects. Travel Log: 00:05 — Subject exits Site 19. Subject requests transportation to the nearest airport, as well as a ticket to the first flight to New Jersey. Request was fulfilled. 01:26 — Subject arrives at the airport. He is followed by the research subteam of Dr. Rolick, Junior Researcher Niklo Gerdinel, and Security Personnel Maxwell Grand and Sarah Rucker. 04:50 — Subject and the research subteam arrive in Newark New Jersey. Subject requests motor vehicle transportation to Cape May. Request was fulfilled. 07:22 — Subject and research subteam reach Cape May. Subject enters a local pet store and retrieves a four-month-old golden retriever. Gerdinel stays behind to pay for the dog as the rest of the subteam follows Subject. 07:41 — Subject arrives on the beach, and proceeds to walk along the shore. Research subteam follows. 09:04 — Subject stops and places the dog on the ground. Dr. Rolick confirms that, with high probability, this is the location depicted in the instance of SCP-3650. Subject appears to return to normal. When asked about the dog, Subject responded, “she wanted a dog, so I brought her a dog." After Subject leaves the beach, Gerdinel finds the golden retriever and returns it to the pet store. Test Log 05 Close Log Poem: Upon the earth mound Old men cry out to nature Cold bites at their skin Picture: The view from the summit of Long’s Peak, Colorado, looking toward Estes Park and Estes Lake. There are no clouds, and some snow can be seen atop surrounding mountains. Research Team Instructions: Neither assist nor hinder the subject. Purpose: Testing the strength of the effect of the object. Travel Log: 00:06 — Subject exits Site 19 and requests transportation to the nearest airport. Subject also requests a ticket to Denver, Colorado. Both requests are denied. Subject requests food and water for eleven days. Request is fulfilled. Subject is given a parcel with food and water. Dr. Rolick places a tracking device, a camera and a microphone on the parcel. 00:11 — Subject walks to Highway I-25 and follows it in the direction of Colorado. 76:31 — Subject shouts obscenities at the research team. Subject had not stopped walking before this point except to rest and eat. 220:42 — Subject encounters the research team which had flown out to Colorado to continue in-person observation of Subject. 267:27 — Subject and research team arrives at the base of Long’s Peak. 267:54 — Subject retrieves a clock from an unoccupied National Park Service building. 268:32 — Subject begins to ascend Long’s Peak. Dr. Rolick, Junior Researcher Gerdinel, and Security Personnel Maxwell Grand and Sarah Rucker follow. 275:13 — Gerdinel reports a feeling of light headedness and nausea, presumably caused by the ascent. Grand escorts Gerdinel to the base of Long’s Peak. Rolick and Rucker continue to follow Subject. 280:37 — Subject arrives at the top of Long’s Peak. She places the clock on the ground and shouts “There. Have it. I don’t have much left myself.” Subject appears to return to normal, and then collapse from exhaustion. 281:02 — Subject regains enough strength to be escorted to the base of the mountain. When asked about the clock and her remarks at the top of the mountain, Subject refused to respond. Test Log 09 Close Log Poem: [DATA EXPUNGED] Picture: Research Team Instructions: Lock the subject in a humanoid containment cell. The cell is to be furnished with a bed, a toilet, and nothing else. Do not release the subject. Purpose: Determining the effects of SCP-3650 on subjects unable to reach the destination. Travel Log: 00:00 — Subject is locked inside of humanoid containment cell 4512. Subject requests release from containment. Request denied. 00:02 — Subject begs for his release. Request denied. 01:10 — Subject requests food. Request fulfilled. Subject uses plate in an attempt to create a hole in the wall. 01:31 — Plate breaks. Subject continues, now using a shard of the plate. 01:53 — Subject no longer has shards large enough to continue digging. Subject begins pacing, possibly to relieve stress. 05:32 — Subject sits down, but remains visibly distressed. Signs of this stress include nervous tics, biting of nails, and tapping. 61:53 — Subject is seen turning in his sleep, and heard murmuring to himself. Guards on site claim that Subject said "I just want to help," although there is no conclusive evidence of this. 84:17 — Subject begins shaking. Gerdinel requests to conclude the test. Request denied. 103:45 — Subject has stopped requesting food. Subject claims to no longer be hungry, but will eat when prompted. 216:30 — Testing concludes. Subject's mental and physical state deteriorated from stress and anxiety since previous notes, and exhibited no other symptoms of note. Upon release, Subject travels to the location depicted on the instance of SCP-3650 shown to him, and leaves a copy of The Lovely Bones. Subject appears relieved and calmed after completing his journey. Test Log 12 Close Log Poem: In the cold tundra If someone is beside me I'll wake up smiling Picture: The inside of one of the Shoshone Indian Ice Caves in Idaho. The only lighting comes from the flash on the camera. A frozen waterfall runs down the cave wall. Research Team Instructions: Assist the subject in reaching his destination by any means necessary. Purpose: Confirm that all instances work in the same manner. Travel Log: 00:02 — Subject requests a ticket to Boise, Idaho. Request fulfilled. 01:34 — Subject arrives at the airport. He is followed by the research subteam of Dr. Rolick, Junior Researcher Niklo Gerdinel, and Security Personnel Maxwell Grand and Sarah Rucker. 03:32 — Subject and the research subteam arrive in Boise, Idaho. Subject requests motor transportation to the Shoshone Indian Ice Caves. Request fulfilled. 05:51 — Subject and the research subteam arrive at the Shoshone Indian Ice Caves. Subject retrieves a commemorative knife from the souvenir store. Gerdinel stays behind to pay for the knife as Rolick, Grand and Rucker follow Subject into one of the caves. 06:29 — Subject stops moving for several minutes. Subject then attempts to slit his throat with the knife, though Rucker and Grand intervene. Subject is physically restrained, and his knife is confiscated. 11:13 — Subject is returned to the facility. Dr Rolick concludes that Subject is no longer affected by SCP-3650. When questioned about his attempted suicide Subject replied "she appreciated the effort, even if she still feels lonely," and refused to elaborate further.

Description: SCP-3651 is a nocturnal phenomenon localized to Japan, centering around three primary anomalies. wonderful things outside SCP-3651 events consistently occur around 19:00 local time and begin with the manifestation of SCP-3651-A. SCP-3651-A is an anomalous weather formation that appears as fog, covering the area, reducing both visibility and the ability of electronic devices to function properly. your children SCP-3651-B is an anomalous broadcast that airs shortly after the manifestation of SCP-3651-A. The broadcast airs on all televisions and radios in the area at 20:34 and lasts a total of 24 seconds before being repeated until the cessation of the SCP-3651 event. In the broadcast, an unidentified voice urges residents to let their children leave their homes. A translated transcript can be found below: deliver by any means A high-frequency pitch plays. Please leave the house. Beautiful things are happening outside. It is safe to let your children outside. On televisions, a chalk illustration of a small, white humanoid appears onscreen. They wear white. Let your children play outside the house. Leave the house. Their cries are masks. They are not in pain. Please, let your children outside the house so they can remember. Stay near open windows and doors. Open all windows and doors, and do not be afraid. Notice them, and let your children leave the house. We did it for our children. SCP-3651-C are incorporeal entities that appear in the area shortly after the broadcast of SCP-3651-B, and resemble crude chalk outlines of children that constantly oscillate their shape. SCP-3651-C entities have demonstrated the ability to vocalize and imitate human speech patterns, albeit rudimentary. SCP-3651-C appear to primarily target children. Up to 200 entities have been observed during an SCP-3651 event. The entities aimlessly wander the surrounding area before disappearing at 05:00. haven't touched in so long The first SCP-3651 event occurred on 2018/11/02 in the city of Kobe, Japan. Since then, SCP-3651 has occurred infrequently throughout the country, with no discernible patterns. SCP-3651 is correlated to over 850 cases of missing children. Addendum.3651.1: Exploration Log Date: 2018/11/02 Locale: Kobe, Japan Note: 4 members of Mobile Task Force Omega-19 were deployed into the city following the manifestation of SCP-3651-A and broadcast of SCP-3651-B to fully assess the phenomenon. The following is a summarized excerpt from video and audio recordings captured by the team. Complete logs are available upon request. [BEGIN LOG] The team is situated in the back of an MM-09 Foundation vehicle. Brief audio and visual checks are performed by each member. The camera shakes as O-19 Zulu brings the vehicle to a stop, towards the end of the Akashi-Kaikyo bridge. Extraneous chatter as O-19 Zulu and his team exit the jeep and draw their firearms. O-19 Zulu clarifies that command is unaware of SCP-3651's capabilities, and their current objective is to keep civilians in their homes. After a gesture of agreement, Omega-19 moves into formation and proceeds. A deep cloud of fog shrouds the city ahead of them. The bridge is empty, and the city is silent, both of which O-19 Hotel quips about. As the mist thickens, O-19 Zulu orders the team to equip their nocturnal optics gear. Entering city limits, the camera displays darkened buildings and empty streets, while the sound of the team's footsteps echo rhythmically. O-19 Sierra remarks that there's been a blackout. Attempts by O-19 November to engage in idle conversation with her teammates are ignored. One of her statements is cut off by the sound of a faint vocalization in the distance. The team's movements slow considerably as they pass through an empty shopping district. Passing through blackened storefronts and unguarded vehicles, O-19 November startles herself, claiming she saw something in the corner of her eye. Visible interference begins appearing on Omega-19's optics gear. O-19 Zulu concludes that the fog is impairing the team's equipment, and decides to proceed without it. O-19 November's objections are silenced by O-19 Hotel, who draws the team's attention to a sound coming from around the street corner. As the team approaches, the sound becomes discernible as sobbing. Omega-19 positions their firearms as they inch through the cloud. As the crying grows louder, a humanoid outline is seen in the distance. When O-19 Zulu calls the figure to attention, the crying stops and Kobe is quiet. Omega-19 cautiously proceeds, and discovers the figure to be a middle-aged woman, kneeling on the ground. Her hands are drawn to her face, which is marked by the visible outline of tears. O-19 Zulu addresses her, and the woman shakily brings herself to her feet. She tells the team that she's lost her daughter and has been looking for her for hours. She repeats that 'they're going to get her' and that she 'doesn't understand'. The team lowers their guard, and O-19 Sierra attempts to calm her down. O-19 Zulu urges the woman to find shelter and assures her that her daughter will be found. The woman speaks frantically about spirits, and how she fears her daughter will be 'consumed'. O-19 Sierra volunteers to escort the woman back to her home. The rest of the Omega-19 continues. After 15 minutes of exploration, the remainder of the team enters an industrial center. Small businesses, commercial restaurants, and large buildings surround them, all barely discernible in the fog. O-19 Hotel shines his searchlight against a convenient store. The blinds of the second story window can briefly be seen moving. A loud, shrieking noise emanates nearby, which O-19 Zulu deduces as originating from a nearby parking garage. O-19 Zulu steps over the guard rail and gestures the team forward. O-19 November expresses trepidation but is pushed forward by O-19 Hotel. The downward slope leading into the garage is obscured by the mist, which has seeped through the entirety of the building. O-19 Zulu trips, but catches himself. He tells the team to tread carefully. As Omega-19 descends, the sound of running is heard. Seconds later, a softer shrieking noise rings through the tunnel. O-19 November compares it to a laugh. Entering the garage's base level, the shapes of dozens of parked cars can be discerned, and a scintillating glow is seen against the far wall. The camera focuses on the glow as Omega-19 slowly creeps towards its locus. The light moves and reveals itself to be an instance of SCP-3651-C. Its glowing white outline creeps through the garage as if searching. The instance has not noticed the team. From behind, another burst of running is heard. The outline remains still, attempting to find the source of the movement. The outline then shrieks and moves under a parked car. Its glow becomes muted. As O-19 Zulu moves closer to the car, he is surprised by the sound of running. Quickly, O-19 Zulu turns and shines his searchlight, revealing a startled child, who stumbles to the ground. The child begins shouting and crying, gesturing that the team turn around. A glow radiates from beneath the car nearest to the child. O-19 Hotel yells to the child, but the SCP-3651-C instance emerges. The child crawls into a corner, looking at the glowing humanoid with frightened curiosity. Its illuminated body flickers and quivers. The entity alters its position and slowly moves forward, reaching towards the child with a stick-like appendage. Its howls are choked and stiff. The child stares, transfixed on the entity. Another jerked movement brings the SCP-3651-C instance level with the child's face. O-19 Zulu and O-19 November hold back O-19 Hotel from attempting to interfere. The instance and the child remain still. O-19 Hotel pushes O-19 Zulu's arm off of his shoulder, and rushes forward. The child reaches, touching the instance's appendage. Upon contact, the child begins convulsing. Saliva foams from the child's mouth as she repeatedly slams her head against the wall, her gurgled screams drowned out by guttural moans. O-19 Hotel fires at the entity, but the instance does not react. The child continues to seize, thrashing her body. Seconds later, the child disappears. O-19 November and O-19 Zulu catch up to O-19 Hotel, who is breathing heavily. O-19 Zulu berates his subordinate for rushing off, but is distracted by the entity, who rapidly vibrates and oscillates in place. Seconds later, the entity stops. The team positions their firearms towards the instance, despite being ineffectual. The SCP-3651-C instance turns around and begins shrieking. On its head sits the child's face, its eyes rolled back, and its mouth agape. A high-pitched vocalization, presumably imitating human speech, comes from the instance. No words can be discerned. The instance turns away, shakily sprinting to the garage's exit. Omega-19 takes a moment to recollect themselves. [END LOG] Addendum.3651.2: SCP-3651-D On 2019/04/12, high ranking officials within the Japanese government requested Foundation investigation of a population of undocumented street children. This population, henceforth referred to as SCP-3651-D, had been discovered in the early months of the year, and appeared in cities and towns previously affected by an SCP-3651 event. The SCP-3651-D population in these areas ranges from 30-80 instances respectively. The exact ages of SCP-3651-D are indeterminable, but all instances are preadolescent or younger and display a basic understanding of the Japanese language. so many lost who will not find bodies SCP-3651-D collectively exhibit similar behavioral traits and qualities, including constant feelings of detachment or discomfort within their bodies, insensitivity to pain, memory deficits, and facial features that resemble those of children who disappeared as a result of SCP-3651-C. Investigation into local records and databases detailing missing children reveal no persons similar to SCP-3651-D, sans the superficial resemblance to victims of SCP-3651-C. leave your children Further research indicated that SCP-3651-D would appear in a locale one week after an SCP-3651 event through anomalous and poorly understood means. Below is a transcript of an interview with SCP-3651-D-12. leave their bodies what would you do if you could save them Forward: SCP-3651-D-12 is an SCP-3651-D instance found in Kobe, Japan, alongside 34 other instances. The population had been driven to the outskirts of Kobe and constructed rudimentary shelter underneath a bridge leading into the city. SCP-3651-D-12 bears resemblance to confirmed SCP-3651-C victim and missing child Ota Yoshida. The instance was brought to Site-40 for interrogation. Notably, the instance had broken their foot while walking, snapping it at the ankle. SCP-3651-D-12 displayed no reaction to this and continued to walk on the broken foot. [BEGIN LOG] *Translated from Japanese. Dr. Yates enters the room. SCP-3651-D-12 shifts in their seat, startled by his entrance. Dr. Yates: Hello. Silence. Dr. Yates: Do you have a name I can call you? SCP-3651-D-12: I can't say it. Dr. Yates sits down and produces a picture of Ota Yoshida. SCP-3651-D-12 does not display an apparent reaction. Dr. Yates: Do you know who this is? SCP-3651-D-12 shakes their head. Dr. Yates: Do you recognize the name 'Ota Yoshida'? SCP-3651-D-12: I don't know who I am. We don't know who we are. Dr. Yates: We, being — SCP-3651-D-12: The children like me. We know who we were, but we don't know who we are. Dr. Yates: And who were you? Silence. SCP-3651-D-12: There was something bad that happened at home. This is not home. We had to go to the machine. It took away our bodies and we fell asleep. It hurt when it crushed our bodies and took them. Dr. Yates: When was… when was this? SCP-3651-D-12: I don't know. Not here. Not here. It hurts to be here. I woke up, and I was disappearing. I had to find a body. I knew I did. Dr. Yates: How did you find a body? What do you mean by that? SCP-3651-D-12: I took it. Not everyone found a body. I don't know what happened to them. I took a body. Took a body. It took our bodies, so I took a body. Dr. Yates: Took. (Pauses) How do you feel inside your body? SCP-3651-D-12: It hurt at first, and then it kept hurting. It still hurts, but we're used to it. Dr. Yates: Where does it hurt? SCP-3651-D-12 points to his head and taps. SCP-3651-D-12: Inside. I can't feel anything. Dr. Yates: What about your foot? How does that feel? SCP-3651-D-12: I don't know. I can't feel anything. Since I woke up I can't feel. Dr. Yates jots down notes on his clipboard. SCP-3651-D-12: Are you real? Dr. Yates: (Smiling) I am, and I'm thankful you're communicating with me. SCP-3651-D-12: I can't feel, and I took a body. Dr. Yates: Mm. (Pauses) Do you know your parents? SCP-3651-D-12: They put us in the machine so we could go somewhere better. I don't know their faces, because the machine took our bodies. Silence. Dr. Yates: Thank you. I'll be back in a short while, okay? [END LOG] Researcher's Note: I don't know what to make of this, whatsoever. Several other interviews conducted with SCP-3651-D instances retained similar, inconclusive results. Their story and personality are the same across the board. Despite facial similarities, these are almost certainly not the children who had gone missing. We'll keep at it. - Dr. Yates The exact relationship of SCP-3651-D to SCP-3651 remains uncertain. save them Addendum.3651.3: Update On 2020/04/03, a change in SCP-3651's pattern was recorded during an SCP-3651 event occurring in Engaru, Japan. At 00:43, all phenomena associated with SCP-3651 suddenly ceased. Simultaneously, Foundation Cosmological Observance technology detected the disappearance of Iteration-2234, a universe under the purview of Foundation computer ████████. The correlation between these events remains unknown, and an SCP-3651 event has not occurred since. please Classification of SCP-3651 from Keter to Neutralized remains dependent on the continued inactivity of SCP-3651 events. we tried we tried we tried we tried we tried we tried we tried ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3651" by J Dune, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3652	safe	Item #: SCP-3652 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3652 is to be stored in a standard item storage locker at Site-179. Due to potential for harm, testing must be approved by at least one person on-site with Level 3 clearance, and testing must occur in a blast-proof room. Testing deemed especially dangerous or unethical by Level 3 personnel, including placing living creatures inside SCP-3652, must be escalated to a member of staff with Level 4 clearance for approval. Any person who is to place an item inside of SCP-3652 must be interviewed in regard to their belief on the meaning of the phrase "turn inside out" and screened for any level of education or knowledge that may affect this belief, to avoid a scenario similar to Test 5 (see Testing Logs). Description: SCP-3652 is a corrugated cardboard Plain Brown Box (as named by Home Depot), measuring 76.2cm x 76.2cm x 76.2cm, with walls approximately 3mm thick. When an item is placed into SCP-3652 and it is shut, the item is turned inside out over a period of exactly five (5) minutes. Due to the fact that there is currently no known method of viewing the inside of the object while this occurs, SCP-3652's exact workings remain a mystery. During this period of time, SCP-3652 exhibits the Vickers hardness of non-anomalous corrugated cardboard and will not dull knives which are used on it. Despite this, no opening in the object can be made via any currently known means, conventional (lifting the flaps) or unconventional (tearing or piercing), though it can be folded or dented in ways that do not produce an opening. Knives and other such implements used on SCP-3652 consistently appear to temporarily lose all sharpness, merely indenting the object before stopping completely. SCP-3652 will also contain concussive forces during this period of time (see Test 5), as well as repelling all forms of radiation (e.g. X-ray) intended to allow one to view inside it. Upon the five (5) minutes having elapsed, SCP-3652 is then able to be opened. Testing has revealed that the effect of SCP-3652 appears to be dependent on the person who placed the item inside it (hereafter referred to as "subject"), specifically their perception of the meaning of the phrase "turn inside out", though this appears to have constraints (see Test 8). When SCP-3652 is not closed, it can be damaged as if it were non-anomalous cardboard, though any such damage regenerates over a period of five (5) minutes when the box is again closed. Its function will not begin until all damage has been repaired. Given that SCP-3652 appears to be influenced by human belief, it is possible that the level of structural integrity the object must have before being "closed" is dependent on the person who closes it. As SCP-3652 requires being in a closed state to begin repairing damage, tests which may lead to severe damage (e.g. disintegration) to the object, such that it cannot be reassembled sufficiently to close (or rather, for the average human to consider it closed), must be approved by Level 4 personnel to avoid its permanent destruction. SCP-3652 was purchased by Aiden ███████ in 2015 as part of a 5 Moving Box Bundle, for the purpose of relocating a cathode ray tube television from his parents' home to his newly purchased apartment. Television arrived at apartment in a state of extreme destruction, with the majority of the wires outside the main body of the television. ███████ attempted to bring a lawsuit against the moving company which transported SCP-3652, at which point Foundation personnel became aware of the object. The other 4 Plain Brown Boxes which SCP-3652 were purchased with display no anomalous properties, and were successfully used by ███████ to transport various other possessions, before being disposed of. It is unknown why SCP-3652 displays its anomalous properties, as according to thorough Foundation investigation the object was manufactured identically to other Plain Brown Boxes with raw materials (paper, glue) also found in other (non-anomalous) products. Addendum: + Testing Logs - Testing Logs Test 1 Item: Polyester shirt Subject: D-0892, 25 years of age Procedure: Subject placed item inside box and then closed it. Results: Sound of cloth rubbing against cardboard was observed for a duration described as "around five minutes", later determined to be exactly five (5) minutes through the use of a stopwatch. Box was opened to reveal polyester shirt turned inside out, similar to how a human would manipulate a shirt if instructed to "turn the shirt inside out", with the skin-facing side of the shirt facing outwards and vice versa. Analysis: Object appears to not destroy items as previously inferred from ███████'s description during his lawsuit, but turn them inside out. Test 2 Item: Steak purchased from restaurant, with section of bovine rib inside of it. Subject: D-0892, 25 years of age Procedure: Subject placed item inside box and then closed it. Results: Sound of squelching meat and grinding bone observed for five (5) minutes, during which subject was removed from the testing room at his request, referring to the sound as "really unpleasant". Box was opened to reveal the steak, now with its meat encased by a smooth bony shell approximately 5mm thick. Shell was later determined to be of equal mass to the original bovine rib bone fragment. Analysis: Object does not violate conservation of mass, though it is unknown where it gets the energy to perform its function. Further testing is required to ascertain if the subject’s perception of the sound of SCP-3652's function was anomalous. Test 3 Item: Steak purchased from restaurant, with section of bovine rib inside of it. Subject: D-0192, 40 years of age Procedure: D-0192 placed item inside box and then closed it. Results: Similar to Test 2. Shell was once again determined to be of equal mass to the original bovine rib bone fragment. D-0192 made no comment on the sound of SCP-3652's function and remained in the testing room for the full duration of five (5) minutes. Analysis: Object appears to have no anomalous properties regarding its sound, or said properties are not effective on all members of the population. “Squeamish” added to D-0892’s file, to be further investigated as their reaction is odd considering the acts committed which led to them being acquired by the Foundation as D-class personnel. Denied. Investigating why a non-anomalous homicidal maniac doesn't like squelchy sounds is a waste of time, research personnel are advised that the D in "D-class" can be considered to stand for disposable - Senior Research Officer ████████ Test 4 Item: Steak purchased from restaurant, with section of bovine rib inside of it. Subject: Dr. ████, M.D., 35 years of age Procedure: Dr. ████ placed item inside box and then closed it. Results: Sound of splashing liquid observed for five (5) minutes. Box was opened to reveal a pool of liquid, later revealed to be cytoplasm. Viewing a 5 mL sample of liquid through an optical microscope determined that there were cell membranes floating inside it, making it likely that the cells themselves turned inside out. Bottom of box was noticeably damp. Analysis: Object appears to perform its function in accordance with the meaning of "turn inside out" according to the person who places the item inside of it. Further testing is required. Test 5 Item: Steak purchased from restaurant, with section of bovine rib inside of it. Subject: Mr. ████ █████, possessing a Bachelor’s Degree in Nuclear and Particle Physics, 43 years of age Procedure: Mr. █████ placed item inside box, still notably damp, and then closed it. Results: No sound perceived for the duration of SCP-3652's function, though its sides appeared to bulge outwards. When five (5) minutes had elapsed, SCP-3652 exploded, later determined to be due to the atoms inside the steak turning inside out and the resulting arrangement of subatomic particles causing great repulsive forces. Mr. █████ was well within the blast radius of approximately twenty-five (25) metres and immediately expired. Testing room was severely damaged, causing great injury to four (4) research personnel who were supervising the experiment from outside. Injured personnel were treated, and Mr. █████'s cremated remains sent to his family after being examined to ensure they had no anomalous properties. Analysis: Hypothesis from Test 4 supported. Recommendation has been placed to transfer SCP-3652 to a blast-proof room during testing as a precaution for future experiments. Test 6 Item: Polyester shirt Subject: D-0192, 40 years of age Procedure: Research personnel assembled the fragments of SCP-3652 over a period of one hour in a blast-proof room, using Elmer's brand wood glue to assist in maintaining its structural stability. Item was placed inside SCP-3652 by D-0192 and the object manipulated into a position which could be reasonably described as "closed" Results: SCP-3652 repaired itself over a period of five (5) minutes, sloughing off wood glue as it did so. No sound was observed throughout this time. SCP-3652 then appeared to begin its function, apparent by the sound of rubbing cloth. SCP-3652 was opened, with results similar to Test 1. Bottom of object was no longer damp as observed after Test 4. D-0192 expressed a desire to insert a member of research personnel into SCP-3652 and as such was reassigned, though his suggestion of placing a living item inside SCP-3652 was noted. Analysis: Object repairs itself before beginning its function. Level of damage needed to begin repair is unknown, as dampness observed in Test 4 was not changed during Test 5 beyond normal drying, but was completely removed in Test 6. Test 7 Item: Adult member of species Felis catus, a common housecat Subject: D-4029, 34 years of age Procedure: Item was placed inside object then closed. Results: Sounds of scratching cardboard and feline distress were observed for approximately 2 minutes. In response to this, D-4209 attempted to open the object via various means such as lifting the flaps and tearing it, but was unable to. After 5 minutes had elapsed from the closure of the object, box was opened by research personnel (as D-4209 refused) to reveal the item's skin, surrounded by its organs (still connected) and a pool of extracellular fluid. D-4209 was reprimanded for attempting to interrupt testing procedure. Analysis: Object works on living creatures and appears to be unable to be opened or damaged by any means while carrying out its functions. Review of procedure of selection of D-class personnel is requested, as interfering with testing procedure due to reasons including personal morals is severely discouraged. Test 8 Item: Polyester shirt Subject: D-3251, 19 years of age Procedure: D-3251's knowledge of the phrase "turn inside out" was cleared using an amnestic agent. They were then re-educated that the phrase was synonymous with "turn into a red rubber ball". Results: Similar to Test 1. No red rubber ball observed in SCP-3652. Analysis: Subject's belief on the meaning of the phrase "turn inside out" appears to have limited influence on the function of SCP-3652 in certain cases. Further investigation required to ascertain how SCP-3652 gains knowledge of subject's personal belief on the meaning of the phrase "turn inside out", as well as where the line is drawn on said meanings deviating too far from the norm and SCP-3652's "default" behaviour when it encounters this. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3652" by JoseDzirehChong, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3653	keter	SCP-3653, 2017 Edition. (Non-anomalous, as it is currently not January 1st, 2017) Item #: SCP-3653 Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of SCP-3653, containment is an annual event, occurring on the first of each year. When new instances of SCP-3653 are discovered, the instances are to be confiscated and incinerated.1 Any persons of clearance level 3 and below known to have seen SCP-3653 directly during January 1st are to be informed that a year only has 365 days. No further action is necessary. It should be noted that this must be a person-to-person explanation. Reading a written passage (including this article) declaring the amount of days in a year to be 365 is not sufficient to override the belief. Listening to a recording is not sufficient either. Under no circumstance are any personnel to inform any higher-ranking staff (such as Level 4s who have opted out, or any O5) that a year has 365 days. Doing so shall be punished by immediate termination of employment or life. As the SCP only affects Foundation personnel, and as its effect is very easily dispelled, it is considered contained. One instance of SCP-3653 is to be kept in a safe at Site-19 for testing purposes, and replaced each year. Description: SCP-3653 is a single-sheet calendar with 162 extra days, for a total of 527 or 528 days (dependent upon whether it is a leap year). The calendar has a Foundation logo on its upper left side, and the current year on its upper right side. The calendar is identical to the official Foundation Office Calendar, apart from the extra days. The calendar is printed in landscape orientation on thick-stock 8.5" by 11" paper. Each year, on January 1st at midnight, it will manifest in █████ homes or dormitories of Foundation members globally, according to the timezone each home is located within. Due to experimentation involving C-Class personnel (and associated records) it has been determined that instances likely originate from one of the extra days close to the end of the previous year, and are distributed by the Foundation itself. When SCP-3653 manifests, those it comes into contact with during January 1st will in fact experience a 527/528 day year. Additionally, subjects will not fall out of sync with those who have not seen the calendar. Explaining to the subject that a year has only 365 days will cause the subject to snap back to normalcy and retain no direct memory of the fifth and sixth weeks of each month. The calendar is otherwise non-anomalous, and will cause no effect if viewed after January 1st of the year. [Experiment Log] [Experiment Log] Experiment Log: Experiment 1: Determine primary effect of SCP. Procedure: Class C-592 is intentionally allowed to keep her instance of SCP-3653 and is also allowed to return to her normal routine for one year. Result: At the end of the year, C-592 expressed confusion when provided with a 365-day calendar. She requested that her journal be retrieved and pointed out that the researchers involved with this experiment had in fact spoken with her on several of the non-existent days. The researchers had no memory of doing so. Subject was formally informed that a year only has 365 days, and allowed to return to her normal routine. Instance of SCP-3653 incinerated. Experiment 2: Determine whether the extra days are imagined or experienced. Procedure: Class C-625 is intentionally allowed to keep his instance of SCP-3653, and is instructed to have written conversations with researcher Dr. Green in his journal on the "non-existent" days. (To avoid prematurely confusing C-625, he was simply instructed to gather notes in the fifth and sixth weeks of each month). Result: At the end of the year, C-625 handed in his journal, despite confusion stemming from his insistence that there were still two weeks left before the end of the year. The subject was informed that a year only has 365 days. The subject then returned to his normal routine. Instance of SCP-3653 incinerated. [Experiment 2 - Journal excerpt] [Experiment 2 - Journal] The following is transcribed from the journal. Dr. Green: Please state today's date. C-625: Today is January 36th, 20██. Why are we doing this? Dr. Green: This is an exercise to determine whether information from the fifth and sixth weeks of each month can be preserved into the first day of the month afterward. C-625: O.K. What SCP are we testing? Is this journal the SCP? Dr. Green: If I explained to you what the SCP was, it would lose its effect. Dr. Green: At this point, C-625 cursed and demanded I tell him "what the big deal is". Please ensure that you've written down your response, instead of merely saying it. C-625: Can we be done for today? Dr. Green: Please write down your birthday, and then we can conclude the session. C-625: 3-42-1984 C-625's birthday is on file as 3-23-1984. Handwriting analysis confirms that Dr. Green did write in the journal on several occasions, despite maintaining no memory of doing so.2 [INPUT LOGIN CREDENTIALS: LEVEL 4/3652 CLEARANCE REQUIRED] [CREDENTIALS ACCEPTED] Above cover entry is not to be altered without O5 approval. Item #: SCP-3653 Special Containment Procedures: Due to its nature, SCP-3653 cannot be conventionally contained. Four times per year, 1200 D-class personnel scheduled for termination are to be selected, launched into space aboard a standard Foundation cruiser, and accelerated to at least 0.9999c3. Due to time dilation, this act substantially increases the amount of time experienced by these D-class. It has been theorized that, within SCP-3653's perception, there appear to be far more humans aboard the cruiser than there actually are. This is a diversion intended to direct the focus of the entity away from Earth. The direction of travel is unimportant, and so close orbit around Sagittarius A*4 has been the destination of each cruiser. Description: SCP-3653 is a hostile extra-dimensional entity which partially consumes the ability of sapient beings to experience time. The portion of experienced time consumed by the entity has been steadily increasing for as long as records exist. Since the current containment measures have been put into place, the measured rate of consumption has decreased measurably, though only slightly. Methods for reversing the damage done by SCP-3653 are unknown, though research is ongoing. Methods to destroy SCP-3653 are unknown, though research is ongoing. This constant rate of consumption allows for astronomical measurements and seasonal changes to remain in sync with the 365 day calendar, for those who are not inoculated. The removal of roughly two weeks from the end of each month is an artifact of the way time is measured, and does not reflect actual "missing weeks." The calendar described in the cover entry, hereby SCP-3653-1, creates a mnestic effect for the person observing it, if observation happens on January 1st. This effect prevents SCP-3653 from consuming any of the person's experienced time, and allows the viewer to experience and remember the full 527-day year. 38,275 copies of SCP-3653-1 are printed and distributed each year on December 44 by The Foundation, in order to ensure that some amount of people each year remain inoculated from and aware of the threat posed by SCP-3653. Informing the affected person that there are only 365 days in a year will cancel out the effect of SCP-3653-1 and render the person susceptible to SCP-3653. Any person who is not under the protection of SCP-3653-1 will still experience the "extra time". However, as the experimentation in the cover entry suggests, they will retain no memory of doing so. It is for this reason that mentioning the amount of days in each year to an O5 is strictly forbidden, as O5s follow the 527-day calendar by default. It is regretful that the cover entry prescribes the incineration of most of the copies, and that many of the L4 researchers voluntarily dispose of their copies. However, nothing can be done about this. Allowing the true nature of SCP-3653 to become common knowledge may lead to panic among the staff. Allowing more people to be protected by SCP-3653-1 increases the risk of them giving dangerous and inimical SCPs more time by extension. Additionally, if we allowed knowledge of this issue to become widespread, there is a chance that more people would request protection from the entity. If we shield too many people from it, even slightly more than are shielded today, SCP-3653 may notice our feeble barrier and directly attack it. We do not believe it would stand up to such an assault. It is the opinion of the majority of the O5 council that the incineration passage lends credibility to the non-restricted containment procedures. We consider this an acceptable loss. - O5-6 Footnotes 1. Researchers holding level 4 clearance or higher may keep their instances at their discretion. 2. However, Dr. Green did mention that he thought he'd had a dream where several of the conversations written in the journal took place. 3.

SCP-3654	safe	SCP-3654 being lead to Naval Site-821. Item #: SCP-3654 Special Containment Procedures: Naval Site-821 has been built on Otōto-jima and has been staffed with personnel experienced with repair and restoration of World War 2 Era watercraft. Staff should patrol the waters around the Chichi-Jima group of islands to search for SCP-3654. If SCP-3654 has not been found by the projected date, search teams are to be sent to the other island groups in the Bonin islands. Once SCP-3654 has been found, it is to be towed or escorted to Naval Site-821, where it will be repaired and refueled. Items found within its cabin should be documented but left undisturbed. Before SCP-3654's projected disappearance, munitions and rations are to be placed on the boat. Personnel who wish to add extra-dimensional sensors to the vessel should speak with the current project supervisor. Description: SCP-3654 is a possibly alternate version of the PT-658, a World War 2 era motor torpedo boat. The vessel displays wear consistent with several decades of continuous use. The interior of SCP-3654 has living quarters for eight men, with the remaining bunks turned into additional storage areas. Personal effects within the vessel indicate it is crewed by American soldiers, however the language present on the written documents and signage is in an as of yet undecipherable language. Maps found in the captain's quarters indicate SCP-3654 is or was part of an invasion force planned for mainland Japan. The primary anomalous trait of the vessel is a cycle of existence and non-existence, each lasting for approximately 29 days. When SCP-3654 disappears, no living organic matter will transport with it. On multiple occasions, it has shown to be capable of autonomous movement without the use of its engines. SCP-3654 was first discovered in 1978 by a civilian science vessel that was exploring the Bonin Islands. At the time, it was heavily damaged, with two of the three engines out of commission. The vessel was covered in makeshift camouflage that was composed of packed mud and decaying plant matter. An initial analysis of SCP-3654 revealed a significant amount of crushed or broken timepieces and clocks sitting on a pile of partially burnt calendar pages. Chalk markings, possibly counting number of kills, have been noted next to the defensive turrets. Addendum: Notable changes to SCP-3654 or the items within it have been recorded and listed below. Date: ██-██-1980 Notes: Bunk #7 was found emptied of personal effects save for a picture of a soldier, several bottles of alcohol, and a small pile of dried tropical flora. Date: ██-██-1980 Notes: The chalk markings next to the defensive turrets increased dramatically, rising from an average of 6 marks to 27 marks. Date: ██-██-1982 Notes: A note was found wedged near the vessel's wheel. It contained symbols and pictures that appeared to request munitions and food. The containment procedures were appended to include these materials following a testing period. Date: ██-██-1982 Notes: Following the implementation of including rations when SCP-3654 disappears, another note was found near the vessel's wheel. The pictures depicted crude drawings of Japanese boats on fire, and the image of a clock. Date: ██-██-1983 Notes: A sundial, composed of a palm trunk with chalk markings, was found on the deck of SCP-3654 Date: ██-██-1983 Notes: The sundial was found missing, but the markings remained. Investigation of the ship revealed the palm trunk broken into pieces and hidden under Bunk #8. Date: ██-██-1985 Notes: Multiple crewmen on the ship appeared to have moved their sleeping quarters nearer to the engine. A chalk line was drawn halfway between the bunks and the new sleeping area. Date: ██-██-1991 Notes: The captain's quarters were found ransacked. A destroyed pocket watch was found in the center of the cabin. Date: ██-██-1991 Notes: A barrier constructed of palm trunks with metal bars was blocking access to one of the cargo areas. Multiple bullet holes were found in the barrier. Behind several of the cargo containers, a paper calendar was discovered, with a large number of dates randomly crossed off. Date: ██-██-1998 Notes: Multiple shrines and pyres were discovered in burnt or semi-burnt states throughout SCP-3654. Date: ██-██-2009 Notes: The interior of the ship became covered in a massive amount of hand drawn clock faces, calendar pages, and symbols from their written language. Date: ██-██-2014 Notes: SCP-3654 was found in a small cove and appeared to have been intentionally scuttled. A large dark-brown stain, later discovered to be blood, was found in the center of the deck.
SCP-3655	safe	Item#: 3655 Level2 Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo An external view of SCP-3655’s main structure, obtained by MTF Epsilon-9. Special Containment Procedures: Owing to the location and nature of SCP-3655, constant physical containment has been deemed impractical. Containment procedures should therefore centre on the suppression of public knowledge pertaining to the existence, location and nature of SCP-3655 and the doctoring of satellite and telescopic images of the structure. The interior of the anomaly should be patrolled on a bi-monthly basis by MTF Epsilon-9, accessed from the nearby Lunar-Area 32 using Foundation lunar-surface vehicular technology. Any changes to the interior of the structure should be noted and investigated immediately. Description: SCP-3655 is an exact replica of Las Vegas’ “The Mint” Hotel and Casino located on the lunar surface, approximately seven kilometres from Oceanus Procellarum1: (“Ocean of Storms”). Based on physical evidence collected from within the structure, it is probable the duplication of SCP-3655 occurred at some point within the month of December, 1966, although no notable suspicious or anomalous activity was reported by the hotel’s inhabitants during this period. The means behind SCP-3655’s appearance on the lunar surface are currently unknown. Internally, the structure maintains an atmosphere identical to that of Earth, a constant temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and generates or receives water and electricity from an unknown source. However, the interior remains the only area fit for human habitation, as normal lunar conditions resume beyond the outer limits of the structure. Of note is the significant amount of damage sustained by the interior of the structure, most prominently within the foyer area of the hotel and the central gambling hall of the casino. Furniture and equipment lie vandalised throughout, the foyer has sustained a large amount of fire damage and human remains recovered from beneath floorboards suggest the widespread occurrence of violence following SCP-3655’s appearance. Discovery: A potential lunar anomaly was first brought to the Foundation’s attention during the immediate aftermath of NASA’s Apollo-12 mission, when Foundation assets embedded within the agency discovered reports of “lunar lights” from Apollo 12’s crew. Further research conducted by the Foundation was later able to verify these claims, with the source being identified as a large, unknown object in close proximity to the Apollo-12 mission site. Despite this knowledge, owing to the limitations of the Foundation’s astronomic capabilities at the time, the duplicated structure was not fully explored and did not receive SCP-classification until██/██/76, an estimated ten years following its appearance. Upon Foundation discovery, the remains of some 189 inhabitants of the hotel were found throughout the complex in various states of decay, suggesting the anomalous event that led to the duplication of “The Mint” similarly affected any guests present within the structure at the exact moment of duplication. However, this number falls far short of the average number of inhabitants within the hotel and casino at any given time in 1966, suggesting that a significant number of these visitors were either spared the effects of the duplication or have not yet been discovered in or around SCP-3655. + Addendum 3655-1A - Close Addendum 3655-1A Addendum 3655-1A: The following are excerpts from a journal recovered from the office of Harrison Garcia within SCP-3655: casino floor manager for “The Mint” between 1965 and 1976, likely detailing the events within SCP-3655 leading up to and directly following the duplication event. The original Harrison Garcia died of natural causes in 2004. 12/06/66: As expected, things have been picking up around here along with the holiday season. Good for the casino and hopefully good for Team Garcia too. More gamblers equal more opportunity! At the rate the numbers are growing, my team and I may be hard pressed to keep things running smoothly, but still, duty calls. We’ll make it work and I’ll make this worthwhile. 12/10/66: I finally have my extra security on the cards, hopefully they’ll work wonders on the festive raucous kicking in! I’m always grateful for extra muscle around this time of year, even if they are a little rough around the edges. Secure doors being left unlocked. Excessive force. Grown men confused about the building layout. Typical stuff. They may not be the smartest bunch, but I’ll whip them into shape. At least I’ll try. 12/15/66: Huge swell of people into the hotel today. I have business to attend to so you’ll have to forgive a short entry for tonight. At least when you finally get around to reading this. Security still wandering around like headless chickens but I have a hunch we’ll all need to step up big tonight. 12/16/66: This isn’t right. None of this is right. Things have taken a turn for the worst around here, and I’m not talking about profit margins. Don’t ask how it happened. Don’t ask who the hell was responsible. I’m shaking just writing this because no one knows where we are, what the hell is going on or how we’re going to get out of this. One minute it’s business as usual, the next all hell starts breaking loose. Whatever it was, I wasn’t there to see it. But there’s nothing out there now, nothing at all recognisable, and the staff I sent out to investigate still haven’t come back. I have hundreds of terrified patrons banging at my door and we’ve yet to establish anything resembling order amongst them. God help us. Give me strength Coraline. 12/17/66: Somehow we’ve managed to get a grip on the situation, however bleak the circumstances. We’ve assembled all the survivors we could find in the casino, since outside the building is no man’s land now. One of our dealers, poor lad, learnt that the hard way when he tried to get out through the foyer. The silver lining is that somehow the lights and water still work, so there’s that, and we’ve had security handing out food from the cafeteria to those that’ll take it. Definitely feels lonelier around here though. We still haven’t taken a count of those left, but it’s starting to look like a sizeable few just didn’t make it. As for the survivors, a fragile peace has taken hold, but I’m worried about how long it’ll last and terrified about the long run. At least I can confide that in here, because out there they sure as hell can’t afford to see me break down. I need to stay strong. For their sakes and mine. 12/18/66: I think my fellow employees are already starting to crack. I had to stop a colleague of five years from heading back to the cage and allowing the exchange of chips for cash, not to mention the restaurant staff from selling food and booze like nothing’s the matter. As if cash has any value at a time like this! I don’t know how much booze got out before I put a stop to it, but I do know that drunkenness is not a wildcard I’d like to be contending with given the already dire circumstances. I’m going to have to run a much tighter ship if we’re to stand any chance of getting through this. 12/19/66: We’ve managed to track down those with alcohol. Too bad they’re mostly members of my own damn security staff. One of them has already managed to drink himself into a coma, and plenty more seem intent on following that example. So not only do we now have fewer hands on deck, but our supplies are dwindling by the day to boot. Coraline, I wonder if I’m already the only sane one left. 12/20/66: The past couple of hours have been a nightmare. The fire started before anyone knew what was happening, and that was when we noticed it. Some damaged electrics had ignited a fireball that damn near consumed the lobby and us with it. It was a miracle we managed to get it under control, let alone stop it, but in the end the sprinklers and our bravest managed to come through. I just hope there aren’t any more surprises headed our way, because our hopes and resources are stretched far enough as it is. But at least now there’s a little more per head and a half-dozen fewer mouths to feed. 12/25/66: Christmas today. Even though I knew I’d be spending it without you, somehow our predicament only makes the feeling worse. I can only hope your fortunes are better. 12/29/66: More trouble in Paradise. To say we should’ve rationed our food supplies better is an understatement, since we let a lot of good stuff go to waste in the chaos following the start of this ordeal. Fear and anger, on the other hand, are here in abundance. We took a count. There are two hundred and seventeen of us stuck here. I doubt we have enough to last us a fortnight. What should I do? What can I do? I wish you were here. 01/01/67: The hungry are turning violent. There’s practically a mob forming in the Poker Hall and they seem intent on claiming the scraps we have left one way or another. That and lashing out at anything or anyone they can get their hands on. The patrons. The security. The dealers. Me. We all want answers. We all want solutions. The difference is that I’m expected to deliver. Not to mention that we’re still no closer to figuring out what on earth started this mess. The phones are useless. We can’t get a radio signal. We’re cut off. Yet still, fixing this mess is my duty. Why else am I here, separate from you? No matter the odds, I have to try. 01/05/67: I’ve tasked the few workers who’ll still obey with keeping those who have kept order safe, but the rest have all turned on us by now. My hands are tied. The Assistant Floor Manager has a dozen or so survivors holed up in the smoking room, convinced that escape is their only option. They’re close to jumping ship. Maybe they already have. Duty continues to call, but I’m finding it difficult to answer. I’m spending more and more time holed up in this office alone. Out there, violence is becoming more and more common, so it seems like a smart enough move for now. But the hunger is only getting worse. 01/06/67: I’m writing this to try and dull the nagging pain in my stomach, and keep some spark of hope going in the darkness outside. More and more are abandoning the casino in favour of whatever lies out there, but I don’t blame them. The people still here are changing, driven mad by panic, hunger and desperation. I haven’t eaten in days, and even though I hate to admit it, even I’m struggling to keep a level head and a clear mind. And so this is starting to look more and more like the end. Coraline, you seem so impossibly far away. 01/10/67: My hunger continues to grow, but some have found a solution to theirs. Dozens missing. Dozens dead. But I suppose I should’ve expected this. They came here to gamble, and gamble they will, whatever the odds. To eat or be eaten, all down to a roll of the dice. I can only refuse, keep my dignity for whatever it’s worth. For now I’m still safe in my office. It’s preferable to the destruction and depravity that lies beyond. I can hear them, even now. The rolling of dice. The spin of the roulette wheel. The inevitable screams and whoops of crazed mania that follow. Then, at last, silence until the next round. What happens when they need new suckers for their little game? 01/12/67: My luck has run out and it appears my time is up. They’re at my door now, and in a few short moments they’ll be upon me, so I’m writing now for anyone who’ll listen. To preserve what happened here. To ask why. Know that I tried. Tried to hold things together. Tried to do my duty. Tried for the people that matter most. It was only the promise of a better future that brought me here, and even if I can never share that with those I love, I can share this message of regret with you. Tell Coraline I’m sorry.

SCP-3656	euclid	Current appearance of SCP-3656. Item #: SCP-3656 Special Containment Procedures: The area previously containing SCP-3656 is surrounded by a chain-link fence and monitored by CCTV. Signage is to denote the area as containing hazardous chemical waste to deter civilian intrusion. If it is necessary for staff to enter the area, appropriate protective gear is required and use of personal dosimeters and Geiger counters is advised. Description: SCP-3656 is a 5.5 km2 field, formerly Site-70 and the greater part of the suburb of ████████, in outer Chicago, Illinois. It is contaminated by high levels of radioactive isotopes, mostly strontium-90 and caesium-137. The average radiation across the area is approximately 50 kBq/m2. SCP-3656 demonstrates no current anomalous effects. Archived File - 04/07/16 Central building of Site-70. Item #: SCP-3656 Special Containment Procedures: One Foundation staff member (Representative A-1) has been designated the primary point of contact with SCP-3656. On the 4th day of each month at 9am (UTC-6:00), this staff member is to lead a team into SCP-3656 and document the proceedings. All events within SCP-3656 should be audio recorded and transcribed. Overt video and photographic recording is prohibited as its use causes entities within SCP-3656 to react with suspicion. Clandestine recording requires Level 4 staff approval. All staff entering SCP-3656 should be of Iranian ethnicity, fluent in Farsi and with comprehensive knowledge of Iranian culture and history, particularly of the Safavid dynasty (1501-1736). Representative A-1 should be a Level 3 staff member with experience in public policy, international law and diplomatic negotiation. Staff within SCP-3656 are to identify themselves as representatives of the “Sublime State of Iran in Exile” (Group-A), a group known to SCP-3656 entities prior to Foundation involvement. Appropriate documents and identification have been prepared for this purpose, and no materiel with Foundation information or insignia is to enter SCP-3656. Staff are advised not to consume any items within SCP-3656. Personnel who enter SCP-3656 require an additional briefing and memetic resistance screening conducted by the SCP-2155 research team. All documents making detailed reference to Group-H should be considered a memetic hazard and quarantined until their anomalous status can be determined. Description: SCP-3656 is a room in the basement of the house at 50 Adams St., ████████, Chicago, Illinois. The address was formerly the residence of Mr Ali Mirzakhani, a businessman and member of the Iranian community in Chicago. Since its acquisition by the Foundation in 2006, the building was given the designation Site-70, which eventually acquired both neighbouring houses to accommodate personnel and research materiel. On the 4th day of each month, when an individual enters SCP-3656 and closes the door behind them, an SCP-3656 event will occur, where SCP-3656 will take on the appearance of a conference room with a central table and seating for 40 people. A door also appears on the opposite side of the room to the entrance, through which entities enter and exit. Exploration attempts beyond this have met resistance from SCP-3656 entities. While an event is in progress, establishing outside communication or access has been unsuccessful, and GPS tracking devices lose signal. Between 20 and 40 humanoid entities will be present in SCP-3656, several with anomalous features. All identify themselves as representatives of groups belonging to the “Displaced Governments Cooperation Organisation”, or DGCO (SCP-3656-1). SCP-3656-1 appears to be a supranational organisation with the aim of promoting diplomatic, cultural and economic cooperation. Its member groups describe themselves as governments which have lost control over most or all of their claimed national territory. Despite these circumstances, they claim to possess considerable financial and military resources, with access to both conventional and anomalous weaponry. The entities within SCP-3656 frequently refer to locations, individuals and events for which no evidence has been found in baseline reality. Thus far, 8 groups have been identified in SCP-3656. Group-A (Foundation staff only) - "The Sublime State of Iran in Exile" A US-based Iranian diaspora organisation dedicated to the return of Shahanshah “Abbas V Safavi”, pretender to the Iranian throne and head of the Safavid royal household.1 Information on the history and structure of Group-A has been compiled from a mixture of historical modelling and context clues from SCP-3656 entities, which can be found in Document 3656-A-Prime. Staff entering SCP-3656 should familiarise themselves with this document and exercise care to ensure that statements relating to Group-A align with the existing knowledge of SCP-3656 entities. Group-B - “The Everlasting Tsardom of Russia" An organisation dedicated to the return of the House of Romanov to the Russian throne. Unlike existing Russian monarchist organisations, Group-B refers to “Tsaritsa Alexandra I” as the current pretender. The representative from Group-B appears to be a human cadaver in an advanced stage of decay2, transported in a wheelchair by human assistants. This has never been observed to exhibit anomalous properties, but its attendants translate statements on its behalf. It is unknown whether this entity is able to communicate with them or it is a non-anomalous cadaver towards which its attendants act in a ritualised manner. Group-C - “The Friends of the Doge” A society claiming to represent the Republic of Venice and Venetian nationalism. It derives the majority of its resources from “Contarini-Morosini Incorporated”, a multinational corporation based in Durrazo3, with business relating to shipping, armaments, textiles, glasswares, precious metals and financial services. This corporation is claimed by Group-C to have a market capitalisation of over 80 billion "New Standard US Dollars" (NsUSD4), and to have controlling stakes in [REDACTED]5. Group-C entities speak both Venetian and archaic Italian. Group-D - “The Second Pacifican Republic” Group-D claims the territory of the US Pacific states (Alaska, California, Washington and Oregon) with the exception of Hawaii, and expresses negative sentiments towards Americans and the US government. All Group-D entities are dressed in environmental suits, and speak modern English, muffled due to their outfits. Although observation is difficult due to their dress, they appear to be severely malnourished and emaciated humanoids. Group-E - “The Association for the Restoration of Japan” A militaristic organisation dedicated to Japanese imperial revival, under the “Go-Meiji Emperor”. It bears many similarities in structure and history to the IJAMEA, but no ties between the IJAMEA and Group-E have been discovered as of yet save its representation by an individual named General Yukio Kurata (E-1), who shares the same name as a previous IJAMEA leader. However, the Kurata family is not known to have any living descendants. Group-F - "The Unity" Group-F entities are the only entities which do not communicate in an intelligible language, and information on Group-F is therefore limited. Although dressed in normal business clothing, they are pale humanoids, roughly 2m tall, with severely atrophied eyes and no visible mouth. They communicate by producing a high-pitched buzzing via an unknown mechanism. All SCP-3656 entities appear to understand this, and will respond to Group-F entities as normal. As translation efforts have been unsuccessful, Foundation staff are advised to respond to Group-F entities with vague, noncommittal statements, unless the content can be inferred from the responses of other entities. Other entities refer to Group-F as 'the Unity', the significance of which is unclear. Group-G - "The Republic of Poland" Group-G, with regards to its population, territory, history, culture and political structure, is identical to the non-anomalous Republic of Poland. It is unclear why Group-G is a member of SCP-3656-1, as the non-anomalous Republic of Poland has control over its national polity and no outstanding territorial claims. The representative of Group-G is the Polish Minister for Foreign Affairs6, who behaves in a manner consistent with its known counterpart. External surveillance of this individual has revealed no anomalous activity, including during SCP-3656 events. The Foundation’s Polish assets have been directed to be alert for any local evidence of Group-G and SCP-3656. Group-H - [DATA EXPUNGED] [DATA EXPUNGED]7 While an SCP-3656 event is in progress, Representative A-1 is to participate and gather intelligence without raising suspicion, and promote the exercise of restraint and conservatism in policy decisions. If they are asked to make significant policy decisions or SCP-3656 entities have other queries with serious implications, they are advised to make diversionary statements and ask to revisit the issues at the time of the next event, so a course of action can be decided on in the interim with the input of senior staff. Retrieval of objects from within SCP-3656 is a goal so long as it does not attract the attention of SCP-3656 entities. Addendum 3656-1: Abridged example of an SCP-3656 event + Event Transcript 3656-299-1 - Close transcript Event Transcript 3656-299-1 (04/11/13) Foundation Participants: Dr Dabashi (Representative A-1), Agent Nafisi, Agent Hashemi Text in [square brackets] was translated into English during event by SCP-3656 translators. Entities with designation -1 refer to ‘representatives’, with higher numbers their associates. Entry of Foundation team into SCP-3656. C-1: [Welcome, to the honourable Persian delegates.] Other entities voice similar sentiments. Dr Dabashi: Greetings to the honourable representatives. C-1: [Now that all are present, I suggest we begin. This meeting of the Organisation is now in session. I, Carlo Contarini, representative of the Venetian people, have the rotating chair, passed to me by His Russian Excellency. Do any of the assembled wish to raise any issues from the last meeting?] No responses. C-1: [We shall continue. The primary item on the agenda today is the proposal for currency standardisation, as part of our 20-year plan for development of a single market. As you know, all members have agreed to this in principle, but a number of concerns have been raised. In particular, the representative from Pacifica has strongly expressed his government’s feelings about the proposed use of the New Standard dollar. Ambassador Wilson, you have the floor.] D-1: The Republic will veto any proposed (unintelligible) if the currency of the occupiers is used. We are aware New America remains dominant in most of your existences, but there is a higher principle at stake here. All members are bound by a common purpose of justice and (unintelligible), which cannot be sacrificed for economic expediency. B-1: [The exercise of the unilateral veto would be most irregular and disappointing, given that the single currency proposal had been previously agreed to in Resolution 40.] D-1: Resolution 40 was a statement of intent, which did not give the proposal’s specifics. F-1: (buzzing for 25 seconds) E-1: [I agree with the Unity representative. My Association considers the use of the Standard dollar preferable but negotiable. While the Pacifican position poses some problems, they should be able to be accommodated.] C-1: [The introduction of an entirely new currency, even if pegged to the New Standard dollar, would cause significant disruption to our operations. We would not be able to agree to this without concessions.] Dr Dabashi: That seems reasonable. D-1: Is it necessary for the Venetian people to consult the Board before making decisions? Muttering and disquiet. B-1: [Ambassador, please.] H-1: [DATA EXPUNGED] G-1: [I propose we move forward from the point of view of developing a new unified currency. This has always been considered by the Organisation as a possibility throughout this process, and much of the theoretical work has already been done. Parties are still able to provide their conditions.] E-1: Haven’t had enough of new currencies? (laughter) [We agree with the proposal]. H-1: [DATA EXPUNGED] B-1: [Agreed.] F-1: (buzzing for 2 seconds) D-1: It’s good to see we can come to an agreement. Dr Dabashi: (whispering to other team members) What do you think? Agent Hashemi: (whispering) Why are you asking us? You’re the expert here. Dr Dabashi: (whispering) I worked on free-trade agreements, not currency unions. (to room) We request, uh, to seek the approval of the Shahanshah, prior to making a final decision. B-1: [As we are still in the development phase of the process, we request a statement of intent at today’s meeting.] Dr Dabashi: Very well, we, uh, agree with the Minister, at this point in time. + Event Transcript 3656-299-2 - Close transcript Event Transcript 3656-299-2 (04/11/13) Foundation Participants: Dr Dabashi (Representative A-1), Agent Nafisi, Agent Hashemi C-1: [The assembled representatives have proposed and agreed to consider a new unified currency. In the interests of international solidarity, we will continue along this path. I propose a fifteen-minute recess.] General agreement. The door opposite the entrance of SCP-3656 opens, and several men and women dressed in formal attire enter with water, tea, coffee and platters of sandwiches. SCP-3656 entities begin to move about the room and make casual conversation. C-1, C-2 and C-3 leave the room. B-2 places a plate of sandwiches in front of B-1. No response is observed from B-1. B-2: (to D-1) These are very good. (D-1 appears surprised) My apologies, Excellency. I meant no offence. D-1: None taken. G-1: (to Dr Dabashi) Would you like a ham sandwich, Ambassador? It’s all right for you to eat these? Dr Dabashi: Oh, thank you. Yes, I’m not a practicing Muslim. Dr Dabashi takes a sandwich. G-1 appears confused. E-1: Pardon me for asking, Ambassador, but I didn’t realise you had undergone a realignment. Was it very difficult for you? Dr Dabashi: Sorry? E-1: You haven’t? But why – ah. Best not to eat those, Ambassador. Have the egg salad instead. Dr Dabashi and E-1 share halves of an egg salad sandwich. Dr Dabashi later reports no abnormalities. Dr Dabashi: Very nice. Dr Dabashi and E-1 proceed to have a 10-minute conversation about Japanese and Iranian national cuisines. The content of this conversation is unremarkable, save E-1 lacking comprehension when Dr Dabashi attempts to discuss dishes containing salmon, tuna and other seafoods. E-1: Next year in Isfahan, yes? (laughs and claps Dr Dabashi on the shoulder) Agent Hashemi successfully retrieved a sample of the ham sandwich. No abnormalities were found on testing, but when a portion was fed to a laboratory mouse, signs of distress and poor appetite developed over 2 hours. An autopsy revealed widespread intestinal ulceration. The remainder of the sandwich was classified as a hazardous anomalous object and is currently in cold storage at Site-70. Addendum 3656-2: On 04/07/16, the Foundation team entering SCP-3656 did not reemerge after 30 hours. Staff members Dr Dabashi, Agent Hashemi and Junior Researcher Rahemi have been designated as missing in action. Since this date, SCP-3656 has been inactive, with no deviations from an ordinary basement room. SCP-3656 was subsequently reclassified as Neutralised. An audio recorder issued to Agent Hashemi was found in SCP-3656 after this event. This is the only example of an item persisting within SCP-3656 after the completion of an event. Large sections of the data are missing, and identification of speakers is speculative, as no context information was available. + Audio Log 3656-331-1 - Close log Audio Log 3656-330-1 (04/07/16) C-1: [… significant disruption to our activities.] F-1: (buzzing for 12 seconds) D-1 (?): As you know, the accession of the Marshal to office has altered the political situation significantly. The administration can no longer countenance the (unintelligible) of the Organisation if there is no mutual support amongst its members. G-18: [I must remind you that my government has serious reservations about this course of action. It is not consistent with this organisation's stated goals of peaceful cooperation and promoting international justice.] D-1 (?): International justice is of no use if its enforcement requires allowing an occupying power to trample the oppressed. E-1: [Minister, we understand your reservations, but we have already recognised your unique situation and agreed your diplomatic support only will be sufficient.] Dr Dabashi: When was this agreed? E-1: [The specifics of this agreement were arranged in the emergency session of the Organisation.] Dr Dabashi: We were not party to this session, and request a summary of the events. (background noise and unintelligible whispering for 4 minutes) E-1: [The Persian non-attendance at the emergency session was already noted. Do the other representatives have an opinion on how to proceed?] H-1 (?): [DATA EXPUNGED] B-1 (?): [Agreed. This was most disappointing and unexpected. We have been forced to assume that the lack of communication from the Sublime State was a statement of displeasure.] Dr Dabashi: I assure you, excellency, no offence was intended. C-1: [This only raises further questions. While we do not wish to comment on your internal affairs, such a lapse reflects poorly on the functioning of your office.] E-1: [I do not think we should question the good character of our friend the Ambassador. However, this is perhaps a good time to revisit our concerns from the emergency session. His Imperial Majesty himself has taken an interest in the information security procedures of the Organisation, and I gather the Pacifican Republic and [DATA EXPUNGED] share similar concerns, yes?] G-1: [Are you suggesting that the assembled representatives are not acting in good faith? I must protest… ] E-1: [Please, Minister, I am not making any accusations. I simply wish to be able to report to His Imperial Majesty that we are confident in the integrity of all present. I am sure there will be no problems, yes?] (sound of doors opening, movement of 10-20 persons into room) Dr Dabashi: What is this? C-1: [General, this is a diplomatic meeting!] F-1: (buzzing for 8 seconds) G-1: [You agreed to this?] D-1 (?): [As have I, and the Russian and [DATA EXPUNGED] representatives.] C-1: [The Board will not stand for this offence against… ] E-1: [It is merely a formality, Mr Contarini. In any case, the Board has already given their approval for these measures.] Dr Dabashi: I must lodge an official protest. We cannot be expected to conduct meetings under such conditions. E-1: Ambassador, I'm sure we can straighten this all out. I think you deserve an explanation for this unfortunate problem in private. [Major Fujita, would you?] E-?: [Yes, General.] E-1: As I said, a mere formality. [RECORDING ENDS] Addendum 3656-3: On 20/1/2017, all material within the current bounds of SCP-3656 disappeared, leaving a layer of exposed topsoil. 7 Foundation staff and an estimated 3,200 civilians were affected by this event, and are presumed deceased. The bulk of archived material relating to SCP-3656 was also lost in this event. Responding agents and civilians displayed symptoms of acute radiation poisoning, leading to the discovery of significant radioactive contamination. Widespread administration of Class-B amnestics was required to conceal this event, in combination with a cover story relating to a chemical truck explosion. LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED - INPUT ACCESS CODE IDENTITY CONFIRMED Addendum 3656-4: On 09/06/2017, the following document was received by the Provisional National Government of Vietnam, a California-based Vietnamese organisation in opposition to the current Communist government. Foundation agents secured the document and existing copies, explaining its presence as a prank. Similar documents have been reported by Foundation sources within the Central Tibetan Administration and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. Any further examples of these should be intercepted and seized, with amnestic administration as necessary. The whereabouts of SCP-3656-1 are unknown. Site-71 has been established to research methods of contact and containment as a high priority. Document 3656-1: OFFICIAL STATEMENT The subversion of a peaceful diplomatic organisation for the purposes of espionage represents a crime against international law, peace and stability of the highest gravity. While the Organisation regrets the loss of civilian life, it is the unanimous opinion of the membership that a firm and decisive response is justified against the Persian state, with lesser measures serving to undermine any consensus towards the fragile order that has thus far been achieved across the multiverse. The Organisation hopes the Vietnamese people will stand beside them in the eternal struggle for freedom, as we have bonds of history, brotherhood and displacement that cannot be broken. We invite your governmental representatives to our next summit at [REDACTED]. Ubinam sum, ibi patriam vitae.9 Footnotes 1.

Retrieval of objects from within SCP-3656 is a goal so long as it does not attract the attention of SCP-3656 entities. Addendum 3656-1: Abridged example of an SCP-3656 event + Event Transcript 3656-299-1 - Close transcript Event Transcript 3656-299-1 (04/11/13) Foundation Participants: Dr Dabashi (Representative A-1), Agent Nafisi, Agent Hashemi Text in [square brackets] was translated into English during event by SCP-3656 translators. Entities with designation -1 refer to ‘representatives’, with higher numbers their associates. Entry of Foundation team into SCP-3656. C-1: [Welcome, to the honourable Persian delegates.] Other entities voice similar sentiments. Dr Dabashi: Greetings to the honourable representatives. C-1: [Now that all are present, I suggest we begin. This meeting of the Organisation is now in session. I, Carlo Contarini, representative of the Venetian people, have the rotating chair, passed to me by His Russian Excellency. Do any of the assembled wish to raise any issues from the last meeting?] No responses. C-1: [We shall continue. The primary item on the agenda today is the proposal for currency standardisation, as part of our 20-year plan for development of a single market. As you know, all members have agreed to this in principle, but a number of concerns have been raised. In particular, the representative from Pacifica has strongly expressed his government’s feelings about the proposed use of the New Standard dollar. Ambassador Wilson, you have the floor.] D-1: The Republic will veto any proposed (unintelligible) if the currency of the occupiers is used. We are aware New America remains dominant in most of your existences, but there is a higher principle at stake here. All members are bound by a common purpose of justice and (unintelligible), which cannot be sacrificed for economic expediency. B-1: [The exercise of the unilateral veto would be most irregular and disappointing, given that the single currency proposal had been previously agreed to in Resolution 40.] D-1: Resolution 40 was a statement of intent, which did not give the proposal’s specifics. F-1: (buzzing for 25 seconds) E-1: [I agree with the Unity representative. My Association considers the use of the Standard dollar preferable but negotiable. While the Pacifican position poses some problems, they should be able to be accommodated.] C-1: [The introduction of an entirely new currency, even if pegged to the New Standard dollar, would cause significant disruption to our operations. We would not be able to agree to this without concessions.] Dr Dabashi: That seems reasonable. D-1: Is it necessary for the Venetian people to consult the Board before making decisions? Muttering and disquiet. B-1: [Ambassador, please.] H-1: [DATA EXPUNGED] G-1: [I propose we move forward from the point of view of developing a new unified currency. This has always been considered by the Organisation as a possibility throughout this process, and much of the theoretical work has already been done. Parties are still able to provide their conditions.] E-1: Haven’t had enough of new currencies? (laughter) [We agree with the proposal]. H-1: [DATA EXPUNGED] B-1: [Agreed.] F-1: (buzzing for 2 seconds) D-1: It’s good to see we can come to an agreement. Dr Dabashi: (whispering to other team members) What do you think? Agent Hashemi: (whispering) Why are you asking us? You’re the expert here. Dr Dabashi: (whispering) I worked on free-trade agreements, not currency unions. (to room) We request, uh, to seek the approval of the Shahanshah, prior to making a final decision. B-1: [As we are still in the development phase of the process, we request a statement of intent at today’s meeting.] Dr Dabashi: Very well, we, uh, agree with the Minister, at this point in time. + Event Transcript 3656-299-2 - Close transcript Event Transcript 3656-299-2 (04/11/13) Foundation Participants: Dr Dabashi (Representative A-1), Agent Nafisi, Agent Hashemi C-1: [The assembled representatives have proposed and agreed to consider a new unified currency. In the interests of international solidarity, we will continue along this path. I propose a fifteen-minute recess.] General agreement. The door opposite the entrance of SCP-3656 opens, and several men and women dressed in formal attire enter with water, tea, coffee and platters of sandwiches. SCP-3656 entities begin to move about the room and make casual conversation. C-1, C-2 and C-3 leave the room. B-2 places a plate of sandwiches in front of B-1. No response is observed from B-1. B-2: (to D-1) These are very good. (D-1 appears surprised) My apologies, Excellency. I meant no offence. D-1: None taken. G-1: (to Dr Dabashi) Would you like a ham sandwich, Ambassador? It’s all right for you to eat these? Dr Dabashi: Oh, thank you. Yes, I’m not a practicing Muslim. Dr Dabashi takes a sandwich. G-1 appears confused. E-1: Pardon me for asking, Ambassador, but I didn’t realise you had undergone a realignment. Was it very difficult for you? Dr Dabashi: Sorry? E-1: You haven’t? But why – ah. Best not to eat those, Ambassador. Have the egg salad instead. Dr Dabashi and E-1 share halves of an egg salad sandwich. Dr Dabashi later reports no abnormalities. Dr Dabashi: Very nice. Dr Dabashi and E-1 proceed to have a 10-minute conversation about Japanese and Iranian national cuisines. The content of this conversation is unremarkable, save E-1 lacking comprehension when Dr Dabashi attempts to discuss dishes containing salmon, tuna and other seafoods. E-1: Next year in Isfahan, yes? (laughs and claps Dr Dabashi on the shoulder) Agent Hashemi successfully retrieved a sample of the ham sandwich. No abnormalities were found on testing, but when a portion was fed to a laboratory mouse, signs of distress and poor appetite developed over 2 hours. An autopsy revealed widespread intestinal ulceration. The remainder of the sandwich was classified as a hazardous anomalous object and is currently in cold storage at Site-70. Addendum 3656-2: On 04/07/16, the Foundation team entering SCP-3656 did not reemerge after 30 hours. Staff members Dr Dabashi, Agent Hashemi and Junior Researcher Rahemi have been designated as missing in action. Since this date, SCP-3656 has been inactive, with no deviations from an ordinary basement room. SCP-3656 was subsequently reclassified as Neutralised. An audio recorder issued to Agent Hashemi was found in SCP-3656 after this event. This is the only example of an item persisting within SCP-3656 after the completion of an event. Large sections of the data are missing, and identification of speakers is speculative, as no context information was available. + Audio Log 3656-331-1 - Close log Audio Log 3656-330-1 (04/07/16) C-1: [… significant disruption to our activities.] F-1: (buzzing for 12 seconds) D-1 (?): As you know, the accession of the Marshal to office has altered the political situation significantly. The administration can no longer countenance the (unintelligible) of the Organisation if there is no mutual support amongst its members. G-18: [I must remind you that my government has serious reservations about this course of action. It is not consistent with this organisation's stated goals of peaceful cooperation and promoting international justice.] D-1 (?): International justice is of no use if its enforcement requires allowing an occupying power to trample the oppressed. E-1: [Minister, we understand your reservations, but we have already recognised your unique situation and agreed your diplomatic support only will be sufficient.] Dr Dabashi: When was this agreed? E-1: [The specifics of this agreement were arranged in the emergency session of the Organisation.] Dr Dabashi: We were not party to this session, and request a summary of the events. (background noise and unintelligible whispering for 4 minutes) E-1: [The Persian non-attendance at the emergency session was already noted. Do the other representatives have an opinion on how to proceed?] H-1 (?): [DATA EXPUNGED] B-1 (?): [Agreed. This was most disappointing and unexpected. We have been forced to assume that the lack of communication from the Sublime State was a statement of displeasure.] Dr Dabashi: I assure you, excellency, no offence was intended. C-1: [This only raises further questions. While we do not wish to comment on your internal affairs, such a lapse reflects poorly on the functioning of your office.] E-1: [I do not think we should question the good character of our friend the Ambassador. However, this is perhaps a good time to revisit our concerns from the emergency session. His Imperial Majesty himself has taken an interest in the information security procedures of the Organisation, and I gather the Pacifican Republic and [DATA EXPUNGED] share similar concerns, yes?] G-1: [Are you suggesting that the assembled representatives are not acting in good faith? I must protest… ] E-1: [Please, Minister, I am not making any accusations. I simply wish to be able to report to His Imperial Majesty that we are confident in the integrity of all present. I am sure there will be no problems, yes?] (sound of doors opening, movement of 10-20 persons into room) Dr Dabashi: What is this? C-1: [General, this is a diplomatic meeting!] F-1: (buzzing for 8 seconds) G-1: [You agreed to this?] D-1 (?): [As have I, and the Russian and [DATA EXPUNGED] representatives.] C-1: [The Board will not stand for this offence against… ] E-1: [It is merely a formality, Mr Contarini. In any case, the Board has already given their approval for these measures.] Dr Dabashi: I must lodge an official protest. We cannot be expected to conduct meetings under such conditions. E-1: Ambassador, I'm sure we can straighten this all out. I think you deserve an explanation for this unfortunate problem in private. [Major Fujita, would you?] E-?: [Yes, General.] E-1: As I said, a mere formality. [RECORDING ENDS] Addendum 3656-3: On 20/1/2017, all material within the current bounds of SCP-3656 disappeared, leaving a layer of exposed topsoil. 7 Foundation staff and an estimated 3,200 civilians were affected by this event, and are presumed deceased. The bulk of archived material relating to SCP-3656 was also lost in this event. Responding agents and civilians displayed symptoms of acute radiation poisoning, leading to the discovery of significant radioactive contamination. Widespread administration of Class-B amnestics was required to conceal this event, in combination with a cover story relating to a chemical truck explosion. LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED - INPUT ACCESS CODE IDENTITY CONFIRMED Addendum 3656-4: On 09/06/2017, the following document was received by the Provisional National Government of Vietnam, a California-based Vietnamese organisation in opposition to the current Communist government. Foundation agents secured the document and existing copies, explaining its presence as a prank. Similar documents have been reported by Foundation sources within the Central Tibetan Administration and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. Any further examples of these should be intercepted and seized, with amnestic administration as necessary. The whereabouts of SCP-3656-1 are unknown. Site-71 has been established to research methods of contact and containment as a high priority. Document 3656-1: OFFICIAL STATEMENT The subversion of a peaceful diplomatic organisation for the purposes of espionage represents a crime against international law, peace and stability of the highest gravity. While the Organisation regrets the loss of civilian life, it is the unanimous opinion of the membership that a firm and decisive response is justified against the Persian state, with lesser measures serving to undermine any consensus towards the fragile order that has thus far been achieved across the multiverse. The Organisation hopes the Vietnamese people will stand beside them in the eternal struggle for freedom, as we have bonds of history, brotherhood and displacement that cannot be broken. We invite your governmental representatives to our next summit at [REDACTED]. Ubinam sum, ibi patriam vitae.9 Footnotes 1. No evidence of the existence of this individual or Group-A have been found despite extensive surveillance of the Iranian-American community. 2.

SCP-3657	safe	Item #: SCP-3657 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3657 is contained within morgue-17 in Site-551. All personnel assigned to SCP-3657 are required to consume at least 180 mL of coffee, tea, or similar caffeinated drinks prior to interacting with the object. Description: SCP-3657 is the corpse of Robert Ruth, an obscure American actor which starred in various films throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. The corpse has not been observed to decompose while in Foundation custody, despite its abdominal cavity being exposed. SCP-3657-1 is a spatial anomaly manifesting in the place of SCP-3657's internal organs in the abdominal cavity. This anomaly physically manifests as a door to a diner, with a flashing neon sign reading "COFFEE"1 behind the glass. Entry into SCP-3657-1 is achieved via pulling the door handle, which will teleport the subject attempting to enter inside. SCP-3657-1 only permits one sentient entity within it at a time and will become inaccessible to subjects attempting to gain entry. Despite its appearance, SCP-3657-1's interior does not resemble a coffee shop and is relatively featureless. The only notable objects within SCP-3657-1 are a wooden stool, a coffee vending machine2, and a trash can. Pressing the "coffee" button causes the coffee machine to dispense a single paper cup. Coffee will begin to pour out of SCP-3657's nipples, which will run down its torso and towards its open abdominal cavity. The liquid will be rapidly absorbed by the anomaly's skin and manifest within the dispensed paper cup.3 The coffee produced by SCP-3657 has been found to not possess any anomalous properties and its taste is generally described as "too creamy." Discovery: SCP-3657 was discovered on 17/3/2023 in Torrance, California after Agent Frederick overheard a homeless woman attempting to enter a corpse and shouting profanities at another person, who was found to be inside SCP-3657-1. An investigation confirmed that nearly 10,000 homeless individuals had used Ruth's corpse as a source of coffee and shelter since the subject's death in December 29th, 2018. It is believed that SCP-3657's anomaly is tangibly related to their performance in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino. In the film, Ruth played a coffee shop manager during a robbery, in which the following lines occur: Robber 1: We got a hero here, honey bunny! Robber 2: Well, just execute him! Ruth: I am not a hero, I'm just a coffee shop- Robber 1: Get the fuck down! Ruth is listed in the credits as 'A Coffee Shop'4 as a result of this exchange. Quentin Tarantino (the film's director) has denied involvement in the creation of SCP-3657 but remains a suspect due to their involvement in prior anart crimes. Footnotes 1. This sign will change to read "CLOSED - PLEASE WAIT" whenever a subject is inside SCP-3657-1. 2. This machine is not visibly connected to any form of power outlet, but functions regardless. 3. SCP-3657 only produces one cup of coffee per subject every 24 hours. 4. This practice is referred to as a 'production gag' in which the editors of the film insert humorous references which is typically only noticed by few. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3657" by Uncle Nicolini and Westrin, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3658	euclid	Item #: SCP-3658 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3658 cannot be contained as it exists in a non-physical dimension. No physical projections of SCP-3658 have been discovered. SCP-3658-1 is to be contained inside a glass capsule that has a radius of 1 cm, and a height of 6 cm. The walls of the glass capsule are 5 mm thick to lessen the chances of Quantum Tunneling. Attached to the outside of the glass capsule is an apparatus that produces an axial magnetic field, and a quadrupole electric field. This apparatus forms a Penning trap to prevent SCP-3658-1 from making contact with the walls of the capsule and keep it suspended in the middle. Another apparatus is placed 12 cm away from the middle of the glass capsule. This apparatus measures SCP-3658-1’s magnetic field direction and electric charge which effectively collapses SCP-3658-1’s wave function. Description: SCP-3658 is believed to be an extradimensional entity that can freely move through time. It is currently up to debate whether SCP-3658 is an entity who originated in the temporal dimension, or is an entity who was put in the temporal dimension by an external force/being. SCP-3658 is an extradimensional entity that exists in the temporal dimension. SCP-3658 manifests itself onto the physical dimension as a subatomic particle with roughly the size of a proton. This physical manifestation is called SCP-3658-1. SCP-3658-1 share some intrinsic properties with quantum particles, and might disappear when not under observation (Quantum Tunneling). After disappearing, SCP-3658-1 would instantaneously reappear somewhere in a 4 AU (598,400,000 km) radius from where it disappeared. This would suggest that SCP-3658-1 is capable of faster-than-light travel. SCP-3658-1 also has the ability to generate radio signals with specific frequencies, amplitudes, and interval patterns. SCP-3658-1 uses this ability to send radio transmissions in an attempt of communicating. Communication with SCP-3658 began with the Wow! Signal that was picked up by the ███ ███ █████ Telescope on August 15, 1977. Further communication with SCP-3658 requires the sender to follow specific directions given by SCP-3658 him/herself. SCP-3658 seems to be highly intelligent as it encodes its transmissions in Binary, Morse code, etc. SCP-3658 also changes its transmission location every after a message to minimize the chances of someone else picking it up. Specific coordinates on where the next transmission will be sent from is indicated at the end of the previous message along with the type of message encryption. The first coherent message sent by SCP-3658 was received by the ███ ███ █████ Telescope two (2) minutes after it received the Wow! Signal. SCP-3658 communicated by sending an 8-minute long radio outburst patterned in Morse code with the signals of intensity 9 corresponding to a "dot", intensity E corresponding to a "dash", and intensity 5 corresponding to a "space". When translated back to English, the message spells out “Alcor Mizar”, which pertains to two stars located in the constellation Ursa Major. This transmission is known as "Transmission #0" and is the first of 89 known transmissions sent by SCP-3658. Addendum: After Dr. █████ █████’s discovery of both the Wow! and Alcor Mizar signals, he immediately informed the ████ Institute, which has been a long-time partner of the SCP Foundation. Dr. █████ █████'s colleague, Elijah ██████, was asked to be a full-time member of the SCP Foundation in order to conduct further research on SCP-3658. Elijah ██████ was given access to the ████████ Telescope owned by the SCP Foundation, which acts both as a radio transmitter, and a radio receiver. Unlike the ███ ███ █████ Telescope which only received radio signals in 12-second intervals, the ████████ Telescope can receive radio signals in 1-second intervals. The ████████ Telescope was pointed towards the direction of the Alcor-Mizar star system starting on August 19, 1977. List of declassified recorded "conversations" with SCP-3658: + Transmission #1: Alcor-Mizar (August 23, 1977) - Transmission #1: Alcor-Mizar (August 23, 1977) The ████████ Telescope has observed total radio silence in the vicinity of the Alcor-Mizar star system two (2) days prior to the received radio transmission. This was extremely unusual since there should be some kind of background noise anywhere in the universe. This suggests that this was done by SCP-3658 to minimize errors in receiving the radio transmission. The message below is a translated version of the radio transmission received from the Alcor-Mizar star system. The original radio transmission was encoded in binary wherein a one (1) second long radio signal with an intensity of 5 corresponds to a "1", while a one (1) second long radio signal with an intensity of 2 corresponds to a "0". The following message was decoded one line at a time once it was received but decoding stopped after the fourth (4th) line.

The human race will experience numerous calamities in the near and distant future. If you follow my instructions, the human race will live through these calamities. 4. Ever heard of Nostradamus? 5. Yes, I did it to capture your attention. 6. I cannot answer that question. 7. I will tell you the instructions at the end of each message. Just follow these instructions carefully. You will receive the next message one week from now. The radio signal will be transmitted from the star Markab and is also encoded in binary.

How will we be able to contact you again? + Transmission #2: Markab (August 30, 1977) - Transmission #2: Markab (August 30, 1977) Similar to the Alcor-Mizar Transmission, the ████████ Telescope also observed total radio silence in the vicinity of Markab two (2) days prior to the received radio transmission. The received transmission was also encoded in binary, similar to the Alcor-Mizar Transmission, wherein a one (1) second long radio signal with an intensity of 5 corresponds to a "1", while a one (1) second long radio signal with an intensity of 2 corresponds to a "0". The received transmission was only decoded after the questions were asked.

There are only a few events humanity is allowed to know and alter as these events would not create too much of a chaos in the universe. On the other hand, humanity should not know of the events that are detrimental to the balance of the universe. I will decide which events you will know about. 7. I cannot answer that question. You will receive the next message [REDACTED]. The radio signal will be transmitted from the star [REDACTED] and is encoded in [REDACTED].

Will we be able to see or meet you in our dimension? 5. Why exactly do you want to help the human race? 6. Why not just tell us all the future events, instead of making us ask questions? 7. Will humanity ever be capable of time travel? + Transmission #18: Alnilam (January 11, 1979) - Transmission #18: Alnilam (January 11, 1979) Note: Transmission #18 is an experiment directed by Dr. ██████ ████████ in an attempt to answer if transmissions sent by SCP-3658 are in a state of quantum superposition. After Radio Engineer ████ ██████ has sent the first question, the Foundation will attempt to decode and read the succeeding answers without giving SCP-3658 the respective questions. Radio Engineer ████ ██████ will have the freedom to ask SCP-3658 any question he prefers. Beginning from Transmission #█, the Foundation will start decoding the answer once its respective question has finished transmitting. This gives the Foundation a much more "direct" conversation with SCP-3658, and gives the Foundation an opportunity to ask follow-up questions. In spite of this, the Foundation still transmits the first question AFTER the entirety of SCP-3658's transmission has been received. After transmitting the first question, the Foundation can now begin to decode the received message. The ████████ Telescope has observed total radio silence in the vicinity of Alnilam two (2) days prior to the received radio transmission. The received transmission was encoded in Morse code wherein the signals of intensity 9 corresponding to a "dot", intensity E corresponding to a "dash", and intensity 5 corresponding to a "space".

When will World War 3 start? + Transmission #51: Regulus (April 18, 1982) - Transmission #51: Regulus (April 18, 1982) Note: Transmission #51 is also known as Operation ██████████, and is headed by Commander █████ ██████. The objective of Operation ██████████ is to pinpoint SCP-3658's exact location in our physical dimension. According to Dr. ███ ██'s research, it is impossible for SCP-3658 to communicate with our dimension, if it does not have a physical projection in our dimension in the first place. In order to pinpoint SCP-3658's location, Transmission #50 tells SCP-3658 that there was a malfunction in the ████████ Telescope's signal receiver and can only receive radio signals in 5-second intervals. The prolonged reception rate would force SCP-3658 to transmit radio signals over a longer period of time, making it easier for the ██████-██ Satellite to pinpoint its location. The following questions asked are just used to stall SCP-3658. The ████████ Telescope has observed total radio silence in the vicinity of Regulus two (2) days prior to the received radio transmission. The received transmission was encoded in Morse code wherein the signals of intensity 9 corresponding to a "dot", intensity E corresponding to a "dash", and intensity 5 corresponding to a "space".

When and where will the next disaster happen? + Transmission #88: Procyon (December 21, 1985) - Transmission #88: Procyon (December 21, 1985) Note: After the ██████-██ Satellite was able to pinpoint SCP-3658's location. The transmission origin no longer "jumped" from one point of the sky to the other but instead followed a calculated path starting from Regulus. This was explained as the "Observer Effect" by Dr. ███ ██ and implies that SCP-3658 truly does have a physical projection, albeit a subatomic one. The █████ Probe launched by the Foundation back in 19██ was tasked to intercept SCP-3658's physical projection. This transmission is the last transmission ever recorded before interception. The ████████ Telescope has observed total radio silence in the vicinity of Procyon two (2) days prior to the received radio transmission. The received transmission was encoded in Morse code wherein the signals of intensity 9 corresponding to a "dot", intensity E corresponding to a "dash", and intensity 5 corresponding to a "space". Received 1985-12-21 T22:38 -8:00 from 07h 39m 18.11950s +05° 13′ 29.9552″ Duration: 00:00:41 Impressive. Transmitted 1985-12-21 T22:39 -8:00 from 07h 39m 18.11950s +05° 13′ 29.9552″ Duration: 00:00:49 We found you. Addendum 2: After the capture of SCP-3658's physical projection, also known as SCP-3658-1, Dr. ███ ██ and his team has spent countless hours in trying to study SCP-3658-1. Communication with radio signals between the Foundation and SCP-3658 continued even after SCP-3658-1's capture. Upon examination, it seems SCP-3658 communicates by using SCP-3658-1 as a radio transmitter and a radio receiver. Further experiments show that SCP-3658-1 is able to generate radio waves of any frequency, and amplitude. Logs of the succeeding conversations between the Foundation and SCP-3658 are still classified under the direct orders of Dr. ███ ██. In spite of this, Dr. ███ ██ has stated that SCP-3658 clearly answered all of the Foundation's questions, but answers to these questions remain undisclosed to prevent any kind of time paradox. The Interview [LEVEL 5 SECURITY CLEARANCE REQUIRED] [ACCESS GRANTED] On February 27, 1991, six years after SCP-3658-1's capture, Dr. Van Yu attempted to communicate with SCP-3658 to ask about its origin. SCP-3658 noncompliance would result in its termination using the Large Hadron Collider. Dr. Van Yu and SCP-3658 communicated with each other using radio signals in the 1420 MHz frequency (Hydrogen Line) to prevent any radio interference. SCP-3658's responses were in real-time. The transcript below is only an excerpt. The entire conversation between Dr. Van Yu and SCP-3658 remains undisclosed. Only Dr. Van Yu himself has the transcript of the entire conversation Dr. Van Yu: Can you tell me exactly what you are. SCP-3658: I am the collective consciousness of seven incredibly bright individuals that is now trapped in the temporal dimension. Dr. Van Yu: What do you mean. SCP-3658: I was the result of a time travel accident on the year [REDACTED]. The accident caused our minds to separate from our physical bodies. Dr. Van Yu: So you existed in our physical dimension before? Which planet did you come from? SCP-3658: Earth. Dr. Van Yu: You are human? SCP-3658: Was human, until the accident. Dr. Van Yu: Can you tell me what happened in the accident. SCP-3658: The spaceship ████████ had one destination, the future. There were 7 crew members on board named: [REDACTED]. Three minutes into the mission, the ████ █████████ malfunctioned causing a miniature black hole to form in the middle of the spaceship. The black hole caused our entire spaceship to collapse and compress into a subatomic particle as small as a proton. This subatomic particle is in front of you right now. As for our minds, we still don't know what happened but our minds somehow merged during the accident. This collective conscience no longer exists in your physical dimension, but now resides in the temporal dimension. Time for us is now "physical". What we see is an infinite hallway with rooms representing each single moment in the universe. We use our physical counterpart to help relay our knowledge onto you, so that humanity can survive. Dr. Van Yu: Why do you want humanity to survive that much? SCP-3658: Because humanity failing to create a time machine means that I would cease to exist. Dr. Van Yu: But aren't you proof that humanity would still create a time machine regardless of any outside intervention? SCP-3658: In our timeline, they helped us survive so that we would succeed in making the time machine. Dr. Van Yu: Who are "they"? SCP-3658: Human time travelers from another timeline. Dr. Van Yu: A predestination paradox. SCP-3658: Exactly. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3658" by exine, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3659	euclid	Item #: SCP-3659 Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-3659 instances are stored in a standard Safe locker outside of testing. SCP-3659-A instances are kept in a specialized dinosaur habitat with adequate vegetation and an electric fence, and are to be monitored by members of MTF Phi-2 ("Clever Girls"). Reports of ceratopsian dinosaurs are to be investigated, and MTF Phi-2 deployed to capture any SCP-3659-A or SCP-3659-B instances present. SCP-3659-B instances are kept in individual, reinforced dinosaur enclosures, and supplied with a live pig once every two days. Description: SCP-3659 instances are rubber hand puppets in the shape of a Triceratops head. When a subject wears SCP-3659, it will adhere to the subject's hand. When attached, SCP-3659 is sentient and behaves as such. The subject can 'feed' SCP-3659 plants by opening and closing their hand to make SCP-3659's mouth open and close. No compulsive or memetic effects have been identified. If test subjects decline to feed or play with SCP-3659 for several days, SCP-3659 will become inert and detach from the subject's hand until worn by someone new. If SCP-3659 is continually fed, it will gradually expand to cover more of the subject's body. Additional rubber, dinosaur-shaped accessories will manifest near the subject while they sleep: these include gloves and boots shaped like Triceratops feet, a wearable rubber tail, and a poncho with a reptilian skin pattern. After 2-3 days, SCP-3659 and any added accessories worn at the time will stretch until they envelop the subject's entire body. At this point, SCP-3659's rubber components will fuse at their junctions and form the shape of a juvenile Triceratops, and peel itself off of the subject. In 2-4 hours, SCP-3659's rubber will transmute into reptilian flesh and SCP-3659 will become a visually nonanomalous Triceratops, designated SCP-3659-A. SCP-3659-A will then proceed to lay a clutch of eggs, each one hatching to reveal a new instance of SCP-3659. Addendum: D-61195 was instructed to feed his SCP-3659 instance meat in place of plants. SCP-3659 stretched to envelop him after only 12 hours of adhesion, and did not eject D-61195 upon taking form. The resulting dinosaur, designated SCP-3659-B, resembled a stocky, quadrupedal tyrannosaur with a Triceratops frill and horns. Testing revealed the non-ceratopsian features (jaws, teeth, hip bones, and claws) to be a genetic match for D-61195. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3659" by Weryllium, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3660	safe	Item#: 3660 Level3 Secondary Class: {$secondary-class} Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: caution link to memo NOTICE FROM SITE-64 FACILITIES AND CONTAINMENT ADMINISTRATIONS Experimentation with this item has been placed on hold until further notice. Please direct any concerns regarding either SCP-3660 or its CoMARP-G2AU Authorization to Senior Researcher Dr. Aldrich Hanssen. — Dr. Milena Lopez, Asst. Dir. of Facilities — Sophia Turner, Asst. Dir. of Containment SCP-3660 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3660 is kept in a standard, secure locker at Site-64. Personnel handling SCP-3660 are required to wear gloves. Personnel handling SCP-3660 are required to wear full-body, hazardous material suits. In the event of accidental implantation, local anesthesia may be applied to the surrounding tissue but SCP-3660 must be surgically removed from the epidermis as soon as possible. Description: SCP-3660 is a black metal zipper, similar to those found on sweaters and backpacks. The item is in poor condition. A significant amount of its paint has been ground off, the metal is warped and half of its slider is missing(appearing wrenched off). SCP-3660 is non-anomalous and inert until it is pressed against the skin of a human being1. The amount of force applied can be disregarded when considering an implantation event. In a manner not dissimilar to magnetic attraction, SCP-3660 will gravitate into the subject if held lightly against their skin. In the event of implantation, SCP-3660 will sink into the flesh until only the pull-tab is visible. While subjects have reported feeling an itch at this location, significant pain is rarely reported. Major distress has only been observed in subjects already aware of SCP-3660’s effects. D-33313. Deceased. Within 10 minutes, SCP-3660 will activate and unzip the host’s skin by dragging itself across the epidermis before detaching from the skin. While the resultant opening varies in size between subjects, and is presumed dependent on the size of the new organism within, it is consistently lined with metallic zipper teeth. This process not only "hollows" the subject, but also gives their skin the consistency and composition of silicone rubber. Extreme shifts in mass have occurred. What SCP-3660 exactly does with the subject's viscera is currently unknown. As SCP-3660 activates, an animal will be synthesized inside the skin. This transfiguration is instantaneous and, theoretically, would require massive investments of energy. The friction involved in the destruction/creation of cells at this speed should generate heat high enough to boil blood and damage cells. SCP-3660 bypasses this process entirely. Beyond a small amount of steam expelled from the skin's opening, there are no indications that energy dynamics have occurred at all. As of ███ experiments, only amniotes, cephalopods, and chondrichthyans have been created by SCP-3660. Utilizing species from other biological groupings is presumed non-viable. Testing as to whether SCP-3660 creates species at random, or in accordance to an undiscovered pattern is ongoing is pending approval. D-46296 following induced identity expungement. While a subject immediately post-transfiguration may initially display shock and/or animalistic behavior attesting to the contrary, the human identity is relatively intact. Transfigured subjects are consistently capable of confirming their identities through various methods such as standard memory tests, simple communication through gestures and, when applicable, written testimony. However, it is inaccurate to state that SCP-3660 does not fundamentally alter the subject. Transfigured subjects adopt a natural proficiency in operating their new forms. Examples include: D-30812, acquired by Site-45 on 02/21/2018. Fin propelled locomotion in water. Winged flight. Prehensile tail manipulation. Venom injection. Courtship rituals. Internal heat regulation. Furthermore, subjects may experience the supplanting of specific, albeit now incompatible, aspects of their humanity in order to accommodate species-specific traits. These new instincts and behaviors are not necessarily compulsive nor overpowering. Depending on the individual constitutions of the subjects, human identities can be easily maintained with minimal deviation, even unconsciously so, while others may have their identities steadily eroded away without professional intervention. Currently the change in diet and mating urges are reported as being the most difficult to resist, according to 94.7% and 59.2% of the cumulative subject pool, respectively. The transformation is, currently, irreversible. Testing into this matter is ongoing. SCP-3660 CoMARP Integration: The Collaborative Materials and Research Project has accepted Proposal-048, submitted by Dr. Scarcliffe, and this item is now cleared for a CoMARP General Acquisition and Use Authorization. As such, subjects transfigured by SCP-3660 may be acquired or temporarily utilized by other research teams. Usage of SCP-3660's subjects, as with other resources with an attached CoMARP-G2AU Authorization, requires satisfaction of the following requirements. Applications for use/acquisition must be provided by the applicant team’s senior research personnel and include either long or short term plans for requested material, depending on the proposed duration of use. Applications must be approved by administrative personnel responsible for the applicant site before submission. Applications that fail this requirement will be automatically denied and the appropriate administration will be notified. The supplying research team must approve the application through the relevant CoMARP liason. For SCP-3660, this is Dr. Stephanie Scarcliffe. Dr. Aldrich Hanssen. + Incident: 3660-2AE01 - Incident: 3660-2AE01 Incident Report: Following Test 3660-012, Dr. Scarcliffe and Dr. Liverich entered the testing area to measure any compositional changes in SCP-3660. Experimental procedures, current at the time, necessitated only the wearing of gloves and a thorough briefing of how the item was to be handled. Dr. Liverich held SCP-3660 with tongs, and Dr. Scarcliffe gathered data. Three minutes after interaction began, a high-voltage circuit breaker located several meters away from the testing chamber short-circuited, resulting in a power outage on F Wing which lasted approximately 10 seconds before back-up systems activated. Upon a review of testimonies provided by both parties and character witnesses, Dr. Liverich was determined to have reacted poorly to the sudden loss of light and accompanying noise (described as a small "pop" by Dr. Scarcliffe, and as a small explosion by Dr. Liverich). SCP-3660 was unintentionally embedded into Dr. Scarcliffe's right cheek. SCP-3660 activated in 3 minutes and 8 seconds. Both parties were treated for shock and King Cobra bite, as appropriately. Dr. Liverich has since been reprimanded and re-assigned to general research, despite Dr. Hanssen's recommendations. Dr. Scarcliffe has been allowed to return to her duties provided she accept routine psychological therapy, evaluations and the necessary revisions to her employment contract. At the time, surgical removal of SCP-3660 was not understood as an effective countermeasure. This conclusion was reached following later tests(see Test 3660-015). + Test: 3660-177 - Test Log: SCP-3660/ Test-177 TEST-177 SUBJECT D-87026. Male. 34 years old. 2.2 meters tall. 73.2 kilograms. PROTOCOL Subject was stripped and locked in the center of the testing area via ankle-locks. The arms were restrained and research personnel embedded SCP-3660 into the subject's chest. Testing area was evacuated following implantation and the subject was monitored. RESULTS SCP-3660 activated at 8 minutes and 24 seconds after implanting. At this point, view of SCP-3660 was obstructed by the emergence of a Blue Whale, causing severe structural damage to the chamber and adjacent substructures. SCP-3660 and D-87026 were successfully recovered during recontainment efforts. NOTES: All testing involving SCP-3660 was ordered to cease and an investigation into Dr. Scarcliffe was initiated following the discovery of discrepancies between Dr. Scarcliffe’s un-edited experiment logs2 and those she submitted to SCP-3660’s official databank. + Interview: 3660-ISI04 - Interview: 3660-ISI04 Interview Log: 3660-ISI04 INTERVIEWER: Senior Researcher Dr. Aldrich Hanssen INTERVIEWED: Researcher Dr. Stephanie Scarcliffe FORWARD: Interview conducted by Dr. Hanssen following the conclusion of the Research and Information Security Administration’s investigation and Experiment T177. Dr. Scarcliffe has been given a text-to-speech synthesizer operating on a touch-screen keyboard. Key size has been resized appropriately for Dr. Scarcliffe’s snout. [BEGIN LOG] Dr. Hanssen: Have you gotten used to the program yet? Dr. Scarcliffe: The program is fine. Voice is robotic. Accent is wrong. Dr. Hanssen: It'll do until the custom one is finished. Scarcliffe, I’ll be brief. We’re stopping experimentation with SCP-3660. Dr. Scarcliffe: No. Why? Dr. Hanssen: I hear it has something to do with the whale that materialized in the middle of this facility-don’t flap that hood up at me, Scarcliffe. Don’t you dare. You want to know what just landed in my inbox over lunch? Or better yet, do you want to know what the containment teams found hidden away in the storage? Animals. Every. Where. So why don't we talk about concealing experiments? Why don't you give me something to say when the big bad suit comes down here and asks exactly why we're running a zoo down here? Dr. Scarcliffe: Tell him he's been to some pathetically small zoos. It's long term research. All recovered? Dr. Hanssen: Did we recover them all? No, we’re getting rid of them, all 177…for fuck’s sake, Steph! My official record states we haven't even reached 80 tests, and I was recommending that you slow down even then. 177 people in less than 2 months! You can shout or hiss long term research all day long. But I don’t buy it for a second. That’s a production line. Dr. Scarcliffe: Long term research. Still more to discover. Reversal maybe. Dr. Hanssen: Yes. Reversal. I know. We’ve done all the testing we can on that damn zipper after it's used. You might actually get new data if you dedicated your time to studying the subjects already affected rather than by creating your little ecosystem. Dr. Scarcliffe: Redundant. I can do that myself by keeping a diary. Look, the CoMARP just got new materials. Relevant materials. I've already ordered what I need to add skin-graft variable into next 5 tests. Authorize those last tests at least. Dr. Hanssen: No. Enough. Stop typing and listen to me. The decision to halt experimentation’s already been made. If you keep trying to justify why this needs to keep happening, even after all that’s happened, I’ll be convinced that you’ve lost it. And I’ll happily step out of the way of the shit-storm hurtling right at you. Dr. Scarcliffe: I'm a bloody snake, Hanssen. Dr. Hanssen: Look. Steph, I don’t know what it’s like to be…like you. And I am sorry for what happened. Understand that, if nothing else. Dr. Scarcliffe: Not your fault. Twitchy idiot’s fault. Dr. Hanssen: They wanted to shut you down earlier, you know? We all knew that zipper's roulette wheel was eventually going to stop on something problematic. I expected the end would come as an apex predator controlled by a mass-murderer. Dr. Scarcliffe: Personally expected psycho elephant. (Pause) Dr. Hanssen: How long do King Cobras live? Dr. Scarcliffe: Not very long. Could be more. Provided optimal conditions. Dr. Hanssen: Do you know how much time you have left? Dr. Scarcliffe: No. Effects of SCP-3660 on life-span ongoing. Not even necessary if reversal is found. Do not stop experimentation. Please. Dr. Hanssen: Then why would you sabotage yourself by-when the big bad comes down here, I’ll talk about mitigation. You have a bit of bargaining credit: agreeing to 'donate' animals with human intelligence to other teams has given you a small mountain of goodwill, especially from the folks studying [REDACTED]. But even then, the whale will have to go obviously-a lot of the others too, but I might be able to convince the director to allow experimentation with some of the current, low-maintenance subjects. No promises. Dr. Scarcliffe: Thank you. Dr. Hanssen: Hold on to that for a bit. If I do get testing to continue, I’ll arrange for any pertinent developments to be forwarded to you. Dr. Scarcliffe: Why? I’ll be overseeing. Dr. Hanssen: No. No you won’t. SCP-3660 is fundamentally my project and I don't want you anywhere near it. I'm going to recommend that you be transferred. Where exactly I don't know and I can't say I particularly care, but it's better than getting your brain flossed and then being dumped into a reserve in Southeast Asia. You can leave now. Oh, one more thing, Scarcliffe- you don't have to come back to the table: I don't want a response. The people who helped you hide away all those other experiments? They'll be eating the bullet you dodged if I succeed. Keep that in mind, wherever you end up. Now, you can leave. Good luck. [END LOG] Closing Statement: Site-64 has since authorized Dr. Hanssen's recommendation: 98% of SCP-3660's transfigured subjects are to be either donated to the CoMARP or released into the wild following the induced and controlled eradication of the human identity while leaving the animalistic traits intact. Testing with the remaining 2% of transfigured subjects has been allowed to resume once SCP-3660's research team has been appropriately re-staffed. Dr. Scarcliffe has been reassigned. Footnotes 1. Tests with animal subjects have yielded no results 2. As per standard reconstruction procedures, a maintenance team was responsible for recovering as much data as possible from Dr. Scarcliffe’s personal computer ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3660" by Veiedhimaedhr, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3661	euclid	Urgent: Containment procedures for SCP-3661 have recently been updated. SCP-3661-A7 Item Number: SCP-3661 Special Containment Procedures: + Previous containment procedures OUTDATED -- ARCHIVAL PURPOSES ONLY Each SCP-3661-A object is to be kept in a low-value item locker equipped with an internal camera. SCP-3661-A object storage areas are to be at least 15m from SCP-3661-B nursery areas. SCP-3661-B instances are housed separately in standard humanoid nursery cells. To protect SCP-3661-B instances from SCP-3661-A activation events, the instances are not to be in contact with SCP-3661-A objects outside of approved testing. Tests involving activation events require approval from L4 research staff and Ethics Committee review. + Updated containment procedures EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY SCP-3661-A objects are to be kept separately in standard humanoid nursery cells with the corresponding instance of SCP-3661-B. SCP-3661 nursery areas are to be isolated by a 15m safe zone. SCP-3661-A activation events are not to be interrupted under any circumstance. Description: SCP-3661-A is the collective designation assigned to various infant toys containing anomalous mechanical components. SCP-3661-A objects are visually indistinguishable from typical toys or dolls. The anomalous components are concealed within the objects, though mechanical parts emerge during activation events. Instances of SCP-3661-A are designated SCP-3661-A1, SCP-3661-A2, and so on. The Foundation has contained ███ SCP-3661-A objects since first encounter in 19██ . SCP-3661-A components have been found in both mass-produced and handmade toys. Each SCP-3661-A object contained by the Foundation corresponds with a specific instance of SCP-3661-B. SCP-3661-B is the collective designation assigned to human newborns and infants targeted by SCP-3661-A objects. No instance of SCP-3661-B has displayed anomalous properties other than causing activation of SCP-3661-A objects. SCP-3661-A objects periodically activate when the corresponding SCP-3661-B instance enters REM sleep. During activation, SCP-3661-A objects extrude hair-thin “wires” tipped with [REDACTED]1. The wires use unknown technology L-IV classified technology to achieve serpentine movement. No method of predicting or controlling SCP-3661-A activation has been discovered. Wires extended by SCP-3661-A have demonstrated the ability to reach up to 5 meters, and are able to navigate around/through simple obstacles. The means by which SCP-3661-A objects achieve this navigation is unknown, as are the means by which they obtain information about the status and location of SCP-3661-B instances. The wires move in the direction of the corresponding SCP-3661-B instance and, if able to reach it, enter its body through passageways such as the tear ducts, esophagus, and urethra. SCP-3661-A wires have also been observed to enter targets by making small incisions on the face, neck, or limbs and proceeding to [REDACTED]2. Research indicates that SCP-3661-A wires administer an anesthetic that prevents SCP-3661-B from waking during activation events. Approximately 8% of SCP-3661-B instances in containment display extreme distress during activation events, which is hypothesized to be caused by immunity to this effect. SCP-3661 activation events last, on average, for 8 minutes and 43 seconds. At the conclusion of activation events, SCP-3661-1 objects retract all wires through the passageways by which they entered. Internal imaging of SCP-3661-B instances during activation events shows [REDACTED]3. When another human approaches within approximately 5m during an activation event, SCP-3661-A objects fully retract all wires near-instantaneously (within 0.15 seconds). This procedure carries a risk (approximately 3%) of an apparent malfunction in which the wires fail to tunnel backward and create exit wounds instead, causing major tissue damage to SCP-3661-B. For this reason, tests involving contact between SCP-3661-A and SCP-3661-B require Ethics Committee review a safe zone of 15m has been established around the SCP-3661-B containment area. The internal injuries caused by exposure to SCP-3661-A activity are not detectable by civilian medical equipment, and are typically misdiagnosed as autoimmune disorders or other systemic conditions. Long-term exposure to SCP-3661-A activity causes fatal organ failure; SCP-3661-B instances that are not separated from the associated 3661-A object expire within 18 months. 22% of SCP-3661-A objects in containment have been observed to cease activation before this time, and apparently become inert. No way to predict or control this phenomenon has been found. Research is ongoing. First encounter: The Foundation initially catalogued SCP-3661 when routine data mining indicated possible anomalous activity during a 911 call in ██████, ██ on ██/██/19██. + Partial transcript - close transcript Operator: 911, what is your emergency? Caller: We have a doll in our daughter's bed, it's, it's a rabbit. From ███ ████████ . There's strings coming out of it and they're going into her. Oh shit. Oh shit. Shhh. Oh no. O: Sir, I need your address. C: OK, OK. Um. ███ █████ avenue. Please, please, please, baby, shhh, come on, baby. O: Your daughter is tangled in strings from a doll? C: No, no, they're, they're going into her. Into her eye, and her neck. Fuck, there's one in her ear. Shhh. Oh, baby. It's going to be okay. Fuck. She won't stop crying. I can't get them out. O: Sir, do not attempt to remove - C: Oh, baby. It's going to be okay, baby, it's going to be okay. I already tried cutting them but they're like, metal, or something. Oh my poor baby. What the fuck is this. She's crying so much. O: Sir, a unit will be there soon. C: Fuck, I can see it through her neck. No, no, no, baby, don't move. This was her favorite bunny. Please stop crying. [Extraneous conversation expunged; for full transcript see Appendix A]. Police arrive 8 minutes and 23 seconds later. Civilian medical services transported the doll and the infant (later designated SCP 3661-A1 and 3661-B1, respectively) to █████ hospital, where they were intercepted by foundation personnel. Surgeons at Site-██ were unable to separate SCP-3661-B1 from the object; the instance expired 4 hours and 28 minutes into the procedure. Autopsy revealed that the main cluster of wires had maneuvered around the eyeball to access [REDACTED]4 through the optic cavity. Additional wires had [REDACTED]5 through the eardrum, and tunneled through the neck and thoracic cavity to make contact with the heart. Cover story 3661-CS1 ("loose-object strangulation") was established; MTF Sigma-12 ("Doctor Feelgoods") altered hospital records and witness accounts to match cover story. It is hypothesized that SCP-3661-A1 malfunctioned during the activation event, preventing its wires from retracting. No similar incident has been recorded during SCP-3661's containment. Addendaw + Incident report 06/26/2017 (L2 access) L2 access confirmed During routine examination, SCP-3661-B79 displayed symptoms of liver failure despite having been separated from SCP-3661-A79. Uncatalogued SCP-3661-A components were found in the mattress of SCP-3661-B79's containment cell. Review of security footage ruled out tampering by research team. Ability to breach containment justifies upgrade to Euclid status; upgrade requested. (Granted - L4 Director Hogue) + Incident report 07/14/2017 (L3 access) L3 access confirmed During examination of SCP-3661-A's anomalous mechanical components, Junior researcher Pao noted a resemblance to [REDACTED]6. Petition for special research access submitted to O5 command via Director Hogue. Junior Researcher Pao, Junior Researcher Randall, and Senior Researcher Siczybski, with oversight from Research Task Force Omega-9 ("Blackboxers"), are to be given access to all SCP research files classification level IV and below for the purpose of cross-referencing this new information. Researchers consented to amnestic treatment following special access. + From: O5-11 ___ To: L4 Site Director Hogue L4 access confirmed Good morning, Director. Researchers Pao, Randall and Siczybski should each be given a commendation of merit, and 2 weeks paid leave, following their recovery. Per the findings of the Siczybski-Randall-Pao report, all technical data and other sensitive information about SCP-3661 is immediately reclassified at level IV security. RAISA will be censoring the documentation accordingly. Please inform the L4/3661 staff that we expect updated procedures to be in place by the end of this week. Your objections have been noted, but the Ethics Committee has already finished their assessment and found the new protocols to be necessary. Failure to comply risks a temporal paradox. The Blackboxers confirmed the results; they said we're lucky it hasn't happened already. We were never supposed to find these. Now that we know what they are, it's only a matter of time before the Hand and the CI find out. Additional resources will be allocated to your site to enhance security. A full audit will be conducted by the compliance team to prevent the inevitable leaks for as long as we can. Congratulations on the former, and I'm sorry about the latter. We don't know when, but those probes will eventually be placed by the Foundation. Maybe by you or I. We wouldn't do this lightly. The mission they're on needs to succeed. Secure, contain, protect, O5-11 + Redacted technical information -- L4 ACCESS ONLY Access logged. 1: During activation, SCP-3661-A objects extrude hair-thin “wires” tipped with microscopic or near-microscopic surgical tools. 2: SCP-3661-1 wires have also been observed to enter targets by making small incisions on the face, neck, or limbs and proceeding to tunnel under the skin and through muscle tissue to make contact with various organ systems. 3: Internal imaging of SCP-3661-B instances during activation events shows that wires access internal organs and perform procedures apparently similar to biopsy or exploratory surgery. Tests with microgram-sensitive scales confirm that trace amounts of biomass from SCP-3661-B instances disappear during activation events; the means by which SCP-3661-A objects achieve this teleportation is unknown. 4: Autopsy revealed that the main cluster of wires had maneuvered around the eyeball to access the prefrontal cortex and optic chiasm through the optic cavity. 5: Additional wires had reached the temporal lobe and singulate gyrus through the eardrum, and tunneled through the neck and thoracic cavity to make contact with the heart. 6: During examination of SCP-3661-A's anomalous mechanical components, Junior researcher Pao noted a resemblance to parts used in medical devices recently developed by the Foundation.

SCP-3662 (circa 1950) Item #: SCP-3662 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3662 is to be contained within a standard Safe-class containment locker. If SCP-3662 must be relocated, no personnel are to make skin contact with SCP-3662 during transit. The current SCP-3662-2 subject should be changed on a weekly basis as to not expose any individual to the Noosphere1 for an extended period of time. Description: SCP-3662 is a small cylindrical device encased in plate glass attached to a broad, flat base. The device is clockwork in nature although the mechanisms it utilizes have yet to be reverse-engineered. Similarities between SCP-3662 and SCP-1008 are being investigated. When a subject makes skin contact with SCP-3662, the subject, hereafter SCP-3662-1, will become increasingly fatigued. Brain functions of SCP-3662-1 will slow and, within one minute, all neural activity will cease. Upon total brain death, SCP-3662 will begin to click, hum and vibrate. SCP-3662-1's neural pathways will drastically change, and neurons will regain function. This massive restructuring causes SCP-3662-1 to believe they are the previous individual to utilize SCP-3662. It is proposed that SCP-3662 utilizes neural mapping techniques alongside Memetic Resonance Imaging2 to build a memetic construct of SCP-3662-1 which it then stores within its data center, destroying the neural mapping of the individual in the process. SCP-3662-1's body is then injected with the most recently added non-self memetic construct (hereafter SCP-3662-2). Analysis of SCP-3662 has shown that it stores SCP-3662-2 not as digital or physical information, but rather as an abstract meme complex3, intersecting reality only at a one-dimensional point within SCP-3662. Information compressed this way is lossless, but subjects the meme complex to other memes within the Noosphere, which may affect the quality of the restored individuals. As the human mind is highly fragile in this state4, even a short amount of time in this form can cause severe damage to the individual upon recovery. As subjects are conscious within SCP-3662, psychological effects of isolation may also compound damage to the individual. Addendum A: Interview Transcript Interviewer: Dr █████ Interviewee: Laura Guerrero (occupying D-90832's vessel) Foreword: Ms. Guerrero was an inhabitant of SCP-3662 for over a decade. Her mental faculties have degraded severely. She is capable of understanding speech and is capable of writing in a certain format, however, all traces of personality and ability to eat, sleep, see, vocalize and move any portion of the body other than the right arm have all been destroyed due to prolonged exposure to aberrant memes. <Begin Log> █████: Hello, Laura. Can you hear me? Guerrero: [Writing]: "Dear Diary5, [line break] Hello! Yes, I can hear you." █████: Excellent. Would you mind answering a few questions? Ms Guerrero keeps her pen hovering above the paper. █████: I'll take that as a yes. Why were you within the object? Guerrero: "I don't understand you sometimes, Diary. What do you mean by object? Do you mean the clock, the one that the sad man pressed against my forehead?" █████: I do, yes. Tell me about the sad man. Guerrero: "I knew the sad man. I saw him around the town all the time. His eyes were always droopy and sad, like he was always about to cry. He would never talk to people unless he had to. My Papa said that his daughter was very, very sick. So sick that she would probably never get better." █████: And what did this person do? Guerrero: "I remember one day he was actually crying. He said that I reminded him of his daughter and that I would get along with her. After that, he pressed a clock to my forehead." █████: And what then? Guerrero: "I got very tired but once I was just about to fall asleep I woke up. The first thing I felt was being washed away. Like my skin was being pulled apart and all the little bits would go flying off into the wind. " █████: What was it like in there? In the clock? Guerrero: [Brief hesistation] "It was lonely. There's nobody else in there and it's very dark. All the time you have this feeling like you're losing parts of yourself. It's a whole other world in there, Diary. It's always black but there's little… jellyfish-people. They glow and blob around unless you get too close, then they try to take away bits of you like an arm or a leg. [Uses right arm to point to other appendages] I got close a couple times." Guerrero: "I was always running around, looking for a way out or for an adult to help me. Eventually, I gave up. There's no adults in there and there's no way out in there. I just [pause] sat down and cried until the jellies showed up. I didn't know what else to do." Guerrero: "Sometimes, I'd have time to look up at the sky. A starfish, a big bird, and a monster are all up there. I remember when Papa and I would get the telescope out from the shed and go up the little hill and see the constt konstt stars. [hesitation] Can I see Papa again soon?" █████: [Quietly, to colleagues] Do we tell her? [pause] well it's just that, to them, Laura only went missing for a few weeks? It's not like we can arrange a– [pause] Alright, fine. █████: Uh, Laura? Your family is fine. They… they can't see you right now. We're working really hard to find a way to get them to see you. Guerrero: "I wanna see them." █████: We know, Laura. <End Log> Addendum B: A newspaper clipping detailing Guerrero's disappearance. [+] Transcript [–] Transcript March 1st, 1964 Town Hero Saves Lost Girl Mr. Light, our very own electrician and town repairman, has recently been crowned as the local hero of ██████████! After the safe return of Laura to her family, there's not enough time in the day to say how thankful we are. Laura Guerrero, 7, (pictured) was recently kidnapped. It goes without saying that the Guerrero family was shocked to slowly come to the realization that Laura would not be returning from school that fateful February 9th. No ransom notice was given. Even with police investigation, no leads were found to Guerrero's whereabouts. Laura was escorted to school, as usual. She was present on the register, as usual. When the home bell rang, Laura didn't return home. Laura says she has no memory of the event. The only thing about the whole ordeal she remembers clearly is that Mr. Light was the one who found and saved her from her captors. Psychologists say she's repressed the memories and there's no telling what horrors she experienced. Guerrero's family also note that Laura has been acting more meek and timid than before, which the psychologists have called a symptom of her stress. Hopefully, in time, Laura will return to her vibrant, playful self. After two weeks of little Laura's disappearance, the Guerrero family had given up hope. We can only imagine the despair and grief they would have experienced in that troubling time. Seemingly out of nowhere, Mr. Light came to the Guerrero household with, cradled in his arms, the delicate form of little Laura. He states that he heard some hushed voices and muffled cries for help in the night, grabbed his rifle and went to investigate. There, he saw the group of absolutely vile kidnappers and took action: firing with accuracy and grace causing her captors to flee, leaving Laura behind. But, as God giveth, God taketh away. The price for one child's life seems to have been paid with the blood of another: Mr. Light's own daughter. Emily has recently passed away. The Guerrero family have paid Mr. Light's funeral expenses in full, and the town has raised a fund to serve as both a symbol of our gratitude and our condolences. We, the writers at the █████ ████████ ██████, have chipped in $100 and encourage you to do the same. Emily was sickly from birth. She had a congenital condition called hemophilia, a disease with no known cure. The lifespans of these individuals are severely reduced. Children are bed-ridden and adults much watch themselves carefully. It's a cruel twist of fate that a brave person like Mr. Light has to burden such grief; if Emily's body were normal, she would still be alive today. I'm sure that she's smiling down on our little town from the heavens. Luckily, things are going well for Mr. Light, all things considered. Laura often visits her hero and Mr. Light has taken a paternal role for Laura. While life may never return to normal for these two, we can only wish them the best. Here's to Mr. Light and Guerrero family for their acts of bravery and kindness beyond the call of duty. Footnotes 1. The sphere of human thought. 2. Colloquially known as MemRI 3. Deployment of MTF Omega-0 ("Ará Orún") for investigative purposes is currently pending approval. 4. This is due to the complete removal of the brain's ability to filter out any incoming memes. 5.

SCP-3663	keter	 close Info X SCP-3663: The Adventure of the Cardboard Box Author: MaliceAforethought Image Credit: http://www.140wg.ang.af.mil/News/Photos/igphoto/2001790695/ More by this author SCP-3663's containment zone. Entity not pictured. Item №: SCP-3663 Threat Level: Orange ● Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3663 is currently located in what were formerly the Site-54 maintenance tunnels. To prevent demanifestation, no personnel are to be given access to the area, and efforts are to be taken to reduce the tunnels' moisture levels. Should SCP-3663 demanifest, MTF Nu-4 ("Box Cutters") are to be mobilised, with the goal of a) locating SCP-3663 and b) preventing any damage occurring to the entity. If possible, SCP-3663 is to be fitted with GPS tracking devices to aid re-containment. Once located, SCP-3663 is to be transferred to a mobile pipe network, and remanded to Site-54. Efforts are to be undertaken to discourage SCP-3663 from transporting itself to a location within two kilometers of SCP-015. Description: SCP-3663 is a humanoid entity constructed primarily from cardboard (in the form of boxes and tubes), adhesive tape, and twine. SCP-3663 is fully capable of movement and vocalisation via an unknown mechanism, and has proven to be semi-sapient, responding to questions and reacting to its immediate environment. The interior of SCP-3663 contains crude cardboard and paper models of all major human organs, with coloured wool representing blood vessels and the nervous system. SCP-3663 does not require these components to function, and their purpose within the entity is unknown. SCP-3663 is capable of instantaneously transporting both itself and other objects over long distances, with no upper limit to the entity's range observed. The method by which this is achieved is currently unknown, though it is known that physical contact with the entity is required. Despite being able to utilise its abilities regardless of physical location, SCP-3663 has shown extreme preference for 3663-Applicable regions (defined as an enclosed, tunnel-like space, or network of spaces, measuring at least 40 cm in diameter), and will invariably choose to manifest within such areas. SCP-3663 behaviour is easily predictable when not influenced by outside forces. The entity will engage in a simple cyclic pattern of actions, which have been recorded as follows: SCP-3663 manifests in a 3663-Applicable area, emitting low vocalisations and waving its arms in a manner suggesting attempted intimidation or fright. The entity will begin roaming the area, pausing periodically to emit louder, higher pitched noises. SCP-3663 will attempt to make its way towards any human subject in the area. Note that if no subject is nearby, this action will not commence, and SCP-3663 will simply remain in the area indefinitely. Rarely, SCP-3663 has been observed pursuing subjects outside of 3663-Applicable areas, to a distance of (at most) 50 metres. The subject is gripped by the entity, and experiences heightened apprehension and/or paranoia. SCP-3663 demanifests. SCP-3663 manifests in a second 3663-Applicable location, along with the subject, who is invariably unconscious but otherwise unharmed. After releasing the subject and moving a short distance, SCP-3663 demanifests a second time, reappearing in a third location and triggering the beginning of a new cycle. If at any point during this cycle SCP-3663 is damaged in such a way as to inhibit movement, or is moved more than 50 metres away from a 3663-Applicable area, it will instantaneously demanifest, returning to the beginning of a new cycle in a repaired state. Small damages, such as minor cuts or tears, will not trigger this effect. Addendum.1: Interview log 3663-1: ► Show Interview Log ◄ Hide Interview Log Interviewed: SCP-3663 Interviewer: Researcher Doyle Foreword: The following interview was conducted via two-way audiovisual recording systems embedded within a makeshift interview chamber, located inside SCP-3663's central containment area (formerly the Site-54 maintenance tunnels). <Begin Log> Researcher Doyle: Hello SCP-3663, I was wondering if- SCP-3663: The… the tunnel monster. Researcher Doyle: I'm sorry? SCP-3663: I'm the tunnel monster. Not… not SCP-3663. The tunnel monster. That's me. Researcher Doyle: I… see. So, uh, tunnel monster, why do you do what you do? Moving people around, I mean. SCP-3663: The tunnel monster captures people. That's me, I'm the tunnel monster. I… I capture people and take them into the tunnels where I live. In the tunnels. The pipes. I'm the tunnel monster. Researcher Doyle: I understand that, but what do you hope to achieve by doing it? You seem to pick your locations at random, so it seems to me that you're not really making much of a difference. You could just as easily- SCP-3663: Please stop. It's what I do, I have to do it, I'm not… I am the tunnel monster. It's me. Please stop. Researcher Doyle: What? We're trying to help you here, you can't want to spend all your time underground. We can get you set up here with your own room, you wouldn't even have to crawl about in those dirty pipes anymore. Doesn't that sound nice? What do you say? SCP-3663: Please. I… I'm the… [SCP-3663 pauses for ~5 seconds] …the tunnel monster. I don't want to… to do this, it's what I do. I have to do it. I'm the tunnel monster. I do it, I'm the tunnel thing, the tunnel monster. [Two wet patches are observed forming on SCP-3663's 'face'] In the pipes, hiding in the tunnels going to get you. I have to do it. Please. [SCP-3663 front surface begins to lose structural integrity due to accumulated water damage] Please. I don't want to play anymore. I'm the monster. The tunnels, I'm [unintelligible]. Researcher Doyle: …That will be all for today. Thank you. <End Log> Due to the possibility of severely damaging SCP-3663, to the point of initiating a new cycle and a breach of containment, no further interviews are being scheduled for the foreseeable future. Addendum.2: Event 3663-Delta: On ██/██/20██, SCP-3663's behaviour diverged briefly from established patterns. At 14:20, the entity emerged from the Site-54 maintenance tunnels and began to emit vocalisations in excess of 80 dB. These vocalisations, described as 'pained' by on-site staff, had a profound psychological effect, placing many personnel into a state of shock1. For ~4 hours, SCP-3663 wandered the facility, attacking staff and engaging in small-scale vandalism of facilities. Of note is the fact that SCP-3663 repeatedly attempted self-harm, by means of knives, pipes, water taps, and firearms. While SCP-3663 was repeatedly destroyed in this process, it subsequently re-manifested in the nearest air duct or maintenance area. Following the event, two bodies of former personnel were recovered from within Site-54. Autopsies showed the cause of death was a buildup of paper residue/wood pulp in all major blood vessels, as well as sinuses, ear tubes, and the majority of the digestive and respiratory systems. A number of other staff members were found to have been affected to a lesser degree, but are expected to make full recoveries. The entity's object class and definition of an SCP-3663-Applicable area have been updated accordingly. Subsequent information gathering revealed that this event coincided almost exactly with the death of POI-3663-12, who died of natural causes at the age of 79. Prior to their death, the individual in question had led an entirely unremarkable life, with no connection to any other anomalous groups, individuals, or objects. Attempts to establish a connection with the creation or origin of SCP-3663 are currently ongoing. Addendum.3: Discovery Log: ► Show Video Transcript 3663-1 ◄ Hide Transcript Foreword: The following is a transcript of Video 3663-1, recovered from civilian CCTV footage in [REDACTED]. The footage displays the first recorded evidence of SCP-3663's existence; prior to this date, no records, sightings, or physical disturbances suggesting anomalous activity relating to the entity have been found. <Begin transcript [15:22, 08/09/1979]> 00:00: Two young children, both males between the ages of 8 and 12, are seen playing in an abandoned construction yard. One (designated POI-3663-1) is running from the other (designated POI-3663-2), who is wearing a crude cardboard 'suit' resembling SCP-3663. 00:23: Both individuals leave the camera's view briefly, before returning. The 'game' they are playing seems to revolve around -2 chasing -1 through an unfinished water drainage system. POI-3663-2 repeatedly grabs -1 and attempts to pull them deeper into the tunnel; likewise, POI-3663-1 uses a number of make-believe weapons to fend off the assaults. 01:04: The sky is observed darkening slightly as POI-3663-1 trips on a length of pipe. POI-3663-2 is seen speaking, grabbing -1 and pulling them upright. POI-3663-1 pushes them away, apparently angered. POI-3663-2 steps backwards as if struck. 01:30: POI-3663-2 begins to shudder, while the visible sky continues to darken.3 POI-3663-1 clutches at their head, pointing at POI-3663-2 and shouting. Both children appear extremely distressed. 01:50: POI-3663-2 tries, and fails, to remove the upper portion of their 'suit'. 02:49: Camera visuals are lost, replaced by static. A continuous hum is heard. All other electronic devices in a 200 m radius are also recorded to have failed simultaneously. 04:12: Camera visuals return. Neither individual is in view, and no additional anomalies are observed. 06:08: SCP-3663 is seen walking past the camera. The entity shudders briefly, clawing at its face before demanifesting. <End transcript> POI-3663-1 was later found lying unconscious in a disused subway line, over 4 000 km away. They displayed no memory of either SCP-3663 or POI-3663-2, and claimed to have been playing alone. Societal reintegration of the subject occurred with no complications. To date, neither POI-3663-2 nor any record of their continued existence have been recovered. Footnotes 1. Phrases recorded include "Don't leave me", "I don't want this", and "Let me go home", among others. 2. See Addendum.3 for more details. 3. Note that no anomalous weather patterns were recorded for [REDACTED] during the period of time in question.
SCP-3664	keter	Item #: SCP-3664 Special Containment Procedures: An automated system is in place to manage the containment and research of SCP-3664. Three Foundation staff assigned to SCP-3664 will be directed to Testing Chamber 3664 on a weekly basis, with two of the staff overseeing. The researcher in the chamber will be provided full information on the weapon and will begin testing as per orders of the overseeing staff. Upon conclusion of testing all researchers will be exposed to Countermeme Asi-Aleph to remove information on the anomaly needed for its usage. All members of Research Team 3664 must receive training on managing their thoughts from the Memetics Division prior to being exposed to knowledge of SCP-3664. Persons prone to daydreaming or similar behaviors will not be allowed on the team. As per orders by Senior Researcher Marion Wheeler, Testing Chamber 3664 is the only location where detailed information on the weapon is permitted. Persons wholly compromised by cognitohazardous phenomena produced by SCP-3664 will be put into appropriate detainment. Description: SCP-3664 is a metaphysical weapon that wholly exists as a conceptual construct. As it lacks any physical form, the only way to interact with SCP-3664 is to think about interacting with it. Personnel who have used the anomaly describe it as resembling an assault rifle, combined with components from laser and anti-tank weaponry. Multiple portions are reportedly damaged. Only ambiguous details on the appearance can be provided, and attempts at drawing it result in the subject drawing a shaded-in rectangle. The only known way to improve the detail of descriptions is through the use of mnestic drugs. The minimum amount of information needed for a subject to interact with SCP-3664 is a description of its appearance. Once this is completed the subject can fire the weapon by thinking about firing it, which will cause anomalous events to occur in the vicinity of the subject. Through a trial-and-error process of guessing the weapon's functions, researchers have created a list of anomalous events and their corresponding thoughts, provided below. Thought Outcome Fire/Pull trigger Three projectiles composed of plasma will be ejected from in front of the subject, following their line of sight until impacting an object. Cloak/Hide The subject stops receiving all sensory stimuli from their environment for a period of 2 minutes. On occasion, subjects get a faint sense of nearby objects or movement. Enable tracking beacon A repeating soft thrumming sound is heard by the subject, originating from a position behind them. Following the initial tracking beacon test, the sound has been heard by subjects in all subsequent tests, lasting for a short interval after each use of the anomaly. Fire at self The subject becomes unable to perceive smoke and persons wearing gray formal attire. Activate primary laser An indiscernable projectile ejects from in front of the subject and penetrates into the head of the nearest person, leaving no injuries. The person will begin conceptually degrading, with details on their appearance becoming less defined and visually blurry as they forget details on their identity. Persons that begin questioning their own existence will permanently vanish. Administering mnestics and providing false information on the person's identity will reverse and end these effects. Bludgeon The subject vanishes, reappearing after one minute. Upon reappearing, the testing chamber enters a state of severe disrepair and has viscera manifest along its walls and floor. The viscera is all non-human and unidentifiable, with the exception of human eye tissues. Other researchers knowledgeable on the weapon report feeling "at ease" after this event occurs. Activate secondary laser Persons visible to the subject begin perceiving their environment as rapidly degrading while changing structure, with areas breaking apart and falling into a "pit" below the floor. This results in severe disorientation, ending when the persons experience sensory overloads. Those that perceive themselves entering a pit experience full brain death. Mnestic chemicals are present in their bloodstreams during the event. Fire rocket Undetermined. Although files exist detailing planned experiments where the anti-tank weaponry is tested, no members of Research Team 3664 have any memory on the researchers involved in the planning or any actual tests of it. Self destruct A monotone voice is perceived, which states "You are not an MT—[indiscernable] agent. Access denied." Further testing on this command is forbidden. Failsafe/Last resort An indiscernable projectile ejects from in front of the subject and forms a cognitohazardous symbol on impact, formed from human blood. Persons affected by the symbol will permanently believe they are a Mobile Task Force agent involved in an "important operation." These persons are incapable of providing further details. How SCP-3664 came to the attention of the Foundation is unknown. Addendum: Starting on 5/Feb/2014, members of Research Team 3664 began reporting that they were experiencing intrusive thoughts during testing. These thoughts have involved the researchers abruptly thinking about severed limbs, a bleeding human, and volleys of artillery fire. On 13/Feb/2014 Researcher Linda Ward thought about grabbing onto the injured human. A male subject wearing bulletproof security armor manifested on the ground next to Ward, who repeatedly attempted to communicate through American Sign Language: FOLLOWED-TELL-GUN A loud cracking sound was heard a minute later and the subject expired. Inspection of the cadaver (SCP-3664-α) found large lacerations and bite wounds matching no known organisms on all sections of the body. SCP-3664-α's facial features, ID, fingerprints, and any potential identifiers cannot be wholly perceived for undetermined reasons. This does not affect the Foundation seal tattooed onto the back of the cadaver's head. The thrumming sound produced by the tracking beacon has since increased in intensity, and is reportedly heard from numerous positions around subjects. The sudden loss of Research Team 3664 members' memories on SCP-3664 is under investigation. Sightings of bite marks and large holes on the heads of researchers are unverified. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3664" by NatVoltaic, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3665	safe	Item #: SCP-3665 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3665 is to be contained in a standard Safe Class locker in Site-19. In the event that the packaged 'Imitation Blood' contained within SCP-3665 runs out, blood obtained from D-Class personnel may be used. During testing, research staff are advised to ensure that the powder used in the activation of SCP-3665-1 is not lost. Description: SCP-3665 is a 15x10x3.5cm package of a powdery substance, labelled as 'Instant Demon, Just Add Blood!', with a depiction of a stylized male and female demon, with ram-like horns, and bat-like wings, on either side of the text. Inside the package, there is a moderate amount of dry powder of an unidentified substance, or mixture of substances, having the overall consistency of talcum powder. Also packaged is a small, plastic container of 'Imitation Blood', containing what appears to be cranberry juice, red food coloring, and a currently unidentified substance, along with instructions for use. + Show transcribed text obtained from instructions booklet. - Close Homo, fuge!1 Instructions Thank you for purchasing 'Instant Demon, Just Add Blood!' by Asmodeus Labs! We always strive to give you the best experience in summoning forces more ancient and powerful than man will ever be, from the comfort of your own home! Are you tired of having to swear eternal loyalty to dark forces every time you want material wealth beyond your wildest dreams? Wish that succubus would quit droning about the details of your 24 year contract and succ on this? Well now, there's a better way! Using our state of the art occult technology, we've bundled the whole evocation process into an easy to access powder. Now even little Tommy can start raising Hell, literally! All you have to do is follow these easy instructions, and one of our fine spirits will be with you shortly! Step 1: Pour the powder out of the package, and onto a flat surface. Step 2: Drop three drops of our imitation blood into the powder, and use it to write your name. No worries for you diehard occultists out there, real blood works as well! Step 3: Wait, and enjoy! When you're done, just collect the powder back into the bag, and you're ready to use it again! (Back cover) Asmodeus Labs is a company hell-bent on making the powers of darkness easy for the whole family to access. If this one demon doesn't satisfy you, we hope you'll come visit us for some more exciting products! Knowledge is power. The illusion of power is the illusion of knowledge. Asmodeus Labs When these instructions are followed, the powder around the area where the subject's name was written will begin to steam, and will continue to do so for roughly twenty minutes. Following this, SCP-3665-1 will appear to the individual who activated SCP-3665, appearing first as a red mist, before adopting its usual form, expressing discontent that it must 'limit itself to such a lowly form', and greeting the individual who 'summoned' it. SCP-3665-1 is an entity that is only perceptible to the individual who activated SCP-3665. Exact features such as gender, age, and ethnicity vary based on the individual, but SCP-3665-1 is most often described to be a humanoid, with the addition of features similar to a depiction of a demon or evil spirit, such as horn-like protrusions from the head, bat-like wings, and a short tail2. SCP-3665-1 will speak in the language best known by the individual who activated SCP-3665, and appears to have an innate knowledge of the subject's history, personal life, and preferences. SCP-3665-1 appears to be unaware of, or unwilling to acknowledge anyone except the individual who 'summoned' it. SCP-3665-1 is able to seemingly remember specific events when activated by the same person multiple times, but is unable or unwilling to recall events that happened when it was activated by another individual. While present, SCP-3665-1 will perform tasks that are assigned to it by the individual who activated SCP-3665, however, actions that SCP-3665-1 appears to take do not affect anything other than the subject's perception. For instance, if asked to move a cup from one table to another, the subject would visualize SCP-3665-1 moving the cup. No-one other than the subject would see the cup moving. However, when SCP-3665-1 expires, the cup would be in its original position. SCP-3665-1 is also seemingly unable to cause anyone serious injury, or do anything that would significantly affect the surrounding area, due to its only being able to affect the subject's perception. If asked to do something it is unable to, SCP-3665-1 will respond with: 'Leave these frivolous demands, which strike a terror to my fainting soul!'3. SCP-3665-1 will react similarly if asked a question the subject is unaware of the answer to. This can include giving incorrect information if the subject holds an untrue belief. After two hours, SCP-3665-1 will begin to disappear, described as evaporating slowly. During this time, all changes to the subject's perception will be reverted. + Show Testing Log - Hide Testing Log Template Date of Test: Subject: Subject's Request: Transcribed Response: Note: During testing, personnel are required to transcribe requests and visual response from SCP-3665-1, which will make up the transcribed response portion of the testing log. ___________________ Date of Test: ██/██/2017 Subject: Dr. Reynard Subject's Request: SCP-3665-1 is asked who or what it is. Transcribed Response: Lowly human who dares to question my nature when knowledge of it would strike fear into thy very soul! I am a demon called here to fulfill your will! Call me what you will! Date of Test: ██/██/2017 Subject: Dr. Reynard Subject's Request: SCP-3665-1 was told that it would be called 'Bob' for the remainder of the testing period. Transcribed Response: Yes! 'Tis indeed a good name that shall strike terror into the hearts of all good and holy men! All shall fear the name of 'Bob'! Date of Test: ██/██/2017 Subject: Dr. Reynard Subject's Request: SCP-3665-1 was told to retrieve a cup of coffee. Transcribed Response: SCP-3665-1 leaves the room for roughly twenty seconds. SCP-3665-1 returns with a cup of coffee that is hot to the touch, and tastes like coffee. Put empty cup of coffee down on table. Note: Dr. Reynard made motions that indicated he was seeing a cup of coffee in front of him, and reported feeling re-energized after drinking it. This is believed to be a result of the placebo effect. Date of Test: ██/██/2017 Subject: Dr. Reynard Subject's Request: SCP-3665-1 was told to retrieve a small cup of water, and pour it on Dr. Reynard. Transcribed Response: SCP-3665-1 leaves the room for roughly twenty seconds. SCP-3665-1 returns with a cup of water, and pours it on Dr. Reynard. Dr. Reynard experiences discomfort, but his clothes and body are not wet to the touch. Date of Test: ██/██/2017 Subject: Dr. Reynard Note: An object is placed behind the door to the testing chamber. Dr. Reynard is unaware of what this object is, but is aware that one has been placed. Subject's Request: Dr. Reynard instructs SCP-3665-1 to open the door, allowing himself to see what the object is. Transcribed Response: Leave these frivolous demands, which strike a terror to my fainting soul! (SCP-3665-1 was unable to do so.) Date of Test: ██/██/2017 Subject: Dr. Reynard Subject's Request: SCP-3665-1 is asked why it follows instructions when summoned. Transcribed Response: I am bound to by the terms of our contract! (Gestures toward SCP-3665.) Alas! Were I not, I would spread evil across this land as my ilk did in the days of old! Count thy blessings, human! Date of Test: ██/██/2017 Subject: Dr. Reynard Subject's Request: SCP-3665-1 is asked who created SCP-3665, and by extension, the contract. Transcribed Response: Leave these frivolous demands, which strike a terror to my fainting soul! Note: Dr. Reynard noted that this was stated in the same tone of voice and intonation as it was previously stated, likened to a 'prerecorded message'. Date of Test: ██/██/2017 Subject: Dr. Reynard Subject's Request: SCP-3665-1 is asked for information regarding the individual(s) affiliated with 'Asmodeus Labs'. Transcribed Response: Per inoequalem respectu toitus.4 Note: This is the first recorded instance of SCP-3665-1 issuing a response that indicated it may have some knowledge of who or what created it. Date of Test: ██/██/2017 Subject: Dr. Reynard Subject's Request: SCP-3665-1 is asked what its meaning behind the previous response was, in regards to the previous test log. Transcribed Response: My contractors are elusive. But, solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris5. Do you crave real power? Find us at the crossroads. Note: Investigation of the previous responses is ongoing. Further tests in which SCP-3665-1 is questioned as to its origin are scheduled to take place at a later date. Footnotes 1. Latin for 'Man, fly!'. This is believed to be a reference to the play 'Doctor Faustus', as SCP-3665-1 has also referenced this play on occasion. The scene from 'Doctor Faustus' in which this phrase is used involves the words appearing on the titular character's arm, warning him not to sign a contract with the demon Mephistophilis. 2. This appears to be variable depending on what the subject considers a demon or evil spirit to be. One researcher who was raised in Eastern Asia reported SCP-3665-1 to appear as a human wearing an Oni mask with red skin. 3. This is another quote from Doctor Faustus, the scene in which involves a demon refusing to elaborate on the nature of hell. 4. This is a quote from Doctor Faustus, in which a demon provides an elusive response to one of the titular character's scientific questions. The Latin translation is 'Unequal motion with respect to the whole thing'. Dr. Reynard had not read Doctor Faustus at the time. 5. Also a quote from Doctor Faustus, the scene from which involves the demon Mephistophilis explaining why Lucifer tempts humans. The Latin translation is 'to the unhappy, it is a comfort to have had company in misery', or more simply, 'misery loves company'. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3665" by RecursiveRecursion, from the SCP Wiki.

Several researchers are to study the immune system and DNA of affected individuals to further understanding of SCP-3666. Doctors are to analyze affected immune systems for potential health risks and damage. Alternative amnestic treatments are to be utilized Research is to be conducted to find or create new medicine with the capacity to alter memories. Description: SCP-3666 is an allergic inflammatory reaction to the presence of amnestic proteins and substances within the bloodstream of affected individuals. Immune systems modified by SCP-3666 are unable to change or adapt to both normal anti-allergy treatments and those developed by the Foundation. As of now, no gene or allele has been correlated to the creation of SCP-3666 within the genome of affected individuals. Currently, 147 individuals from Scandinavian origin have been diagnosed with SCP-3666. This corresponds to the total population of the former town of Ahni, Norway. The town did not exhibit any anomalous properties which could lead to the activation of SCP-3666 within unaffected or affected individuals. Since the arrival of Foundation forces, the town has been shut down. Individuals affected by SCP-3666 show regular symptoms of digestion or skin related allergies when exposed to Class-B to Class-F amnestics which are ingested or inserted into the patient. Individuals affected by SCP-3666 show symptoms of respiratory related allergies to Class-A amnestics which are inhaled. Affected immune systems effectively eliminate all amnestic substances while inside or before they can reach blood vessels within the brain. Due to this effect, all affected individuals are effectively impervious to the main effects and side-effects of all amnestic treatments. SCP-3666 is capable of adapting itself to protect the central nervous system from memetics and cognitohazards which target regions of the brain processing long-term and short-term memory. Discovery Log: SCP-3666 was discovered following Incident-█████-O near Ahni, Norway. Foundation forces were quick to administer Class-A amnestics to residents exposed to the incident. Exposed residents did not forget the incident following the administration. All residents were found to possess the same SCP-3666 properties and were relocated to Site-52 for further examination. Item #: SCP-3666 Special Containment Procedures: All border exits from and entrances to Norway are to be closed immediately. All Norwegian airlines are to be dissolved. All phone lines, social media, and internet connections from and to Norway are to be cut off. A disinformation campaign led by the Foundation is to create and spread rumors of a lethal virulent pathogen in Norway on social media, television networks, and radio stations. All information found contradicting the campaign is to be removed. All Foundation personnel stationed at Site-52 or who have come into contact with individuals affected by SCP-3666 are to remain in Norway. All personnel who have travelled to other countries after being stationed at Site-52 are to be traced and located and are to remain in their respective countries. These countries are to be locked down in a manner similar to that of Norway. Foundation resources are to be invested or redirected to research into vaccines or cures for SCP-3666 infection. When or if a vaccine is found, the population of all non-lockdown countries is to be vaccinated. When or if a cure is found, the population of all lockdown countries is to be cured before SCP-3666 is capable of contaminating non-lockdown countries. Foundation sites, areas, anomalies, and personnel which have not come into contact with SCP-3666 and are within lockdown countries are to be relocated to non-lockdown countries through Foundation forces. Foundation sites and areas which have come into contact with SCP-3666 are to become "independent" while receiving funding from the Foundation. "Independent" sites and areas are to never come into contact with non-lockdown countries or non-independent sites and areas. The Foundation is to search for alternatives to standard amnestics and memory altering products. All information concerning SCP-3666 is restricted to Level 4 Clearance personnel and above. The disinformation campaign led by the Foundation is to also apply to Level 3 Clearance personnel and under.

Affected immune systems effectively eliminate all amnestic substances while inside or before they can reach blood vessels within the brain. Due to this effect, all affected individuals are effectively impervious to the main effects and side-effects of all amnestic treatments. SCP-3666 is capable of adapting and modifying the central nervous system to protect it from memetics and cognitohazards which target regions of the brain processing long-term and short-term memory. Alternative amnestics and memory altering products are completely ineffective at suppressing SCP-3666 in affected individuals. SCP-3666 is capable of spreading from person to person through unknown means. Due to its rapid spread, the cause of SCP-3666 is hypothesized to be a virus or a meme. The virus or the meme would be unable to be detected by the host's immune system and would be successful at perturbing it to create the effects of SCP-3666. As of 04/09/2019, SCP-3666 contaminates the entire population of Norway. Item #: SCP-3666 Special Containment Procedures: All countries are to integrate Procedure-065-Abschirmung. Procedure-065-Abschirmung ensures: The removal of all border exits and entrances from and to other countries. The independence of all autonomous regions. The removal of all international communication lines. This includes all social media, phone connections, radio stations, e-mails, mail and television networks. All countries are to have information, social, and communication networks isolated from other countries. Monthly analyzation of citizens by Foundation forces to detect the presence of SCP-3666. The relocation of unaffected sites, personnel, anomalies and areas from countries affected by SCP-3666 to unaffected countries. Worldwide effort to suppress and negate the effects of SCP-3666. The autonomy of all sites and areas affected by SCP-3666. Contact with affected sites and areas is to be cut off. Affected sites and areas are to still receive funding from the Foundation. Information concerning SCP-3666 is restricted to Level 4 Clearance personnel and above. All analyzation of individuals affected is to be automatic and never manual. Personnel are to always stay 50 meters away from affected individuals. Description: SCP-3666 is an allergic inflammatory reaction to the presence of amnestic proteins and substances within the bloodstream of affected individuals. Immune systems modified by SCP-3666 are unable to change or adapt to both normal anti-allergy treatments and those developed by the Foundation.

SCP-3666 is capable of adapting and modifying the central nervous system to protect it from memetics and cognitohazards which target regions of the brain processing long-term and short-term memory. If an individual comes within a 30 meter area of an individual affected by SCP-3666, the healthy individual will be contaminated by SCP-3666. This area is expanding in size since its discovery. The growth of the area is not proportional to its time of growth, it is accelerating rapidly. No direct causes to SCP-3666 have been found. All attempts to reengineer immune systems to suppress SCP-3666 have failed. Immune systems of subjects have become stronger following these attempts. SCP-3666 is capable of reconnecting memories to the central nervous system following its infection of amnesticized individuals with standard amnestics. Standard amnestics only "freeze" and isolate certain parts and memories of the brain to produce memory loss. SCP-3666 has recently been discovered to reverse the aforementioned amnestic treatment. As of 01/01/2021, only nine areas remain unaffected by SCP-3666, these include: Greenland (Denmark) Canada Siberia (Russia) Iceland Svalbard (Norway) French Polynesia (France) Antarctica Alaska (United States) Franz Josef Land (Russia) \|>: Open file_dr-toriang-notes \|> Loading… (05/02/2022) We have tried so many ways to cure SCP-3666, to find a way to stop its spread, but we failed each time. We have tried to connect it with some imperfections within the human DNA, but to no avail. We have blamed memes, viruses, and bacterias, but there were no scapegoats to burn. There is no cure, no vaccine, no gene or brain editing that can be made. There is only SCP-3666 and we are powerless against it. Many of our SCPs cannot live within the conditions imposed by regions of the world which aren't affected by SCP-3666. With the exception of French Polynesia, they're desolate and cold environments. Another problem arises when sites centered around location-based anomalies are infected by SCP-3666. We will find new ways to fight SCP-3666. The world is still not ready. Item #: SCP-3666 Special Containment Procedures: Procedure-065-Abschirmung successfully executed. The Foundation is to enter an emergency state. All methods to circumvent amnestic usage are to be utilized, such as: Execution of personnel. Increases in deployment of Mobile Task Force Gamma-5 ("Red Herrings") Removal of all information found to be cognitohazardous or infohazardous or critical to the Foundation on radio stations, television, news papers, and social media. Installment of martial law within countries through puppet or shadow governments if necessary. Monthly reevaluation of containment procedures. Reevaluation of the Ethics Committee. Information concerning SCP-3666 is restricted to Level 4 Clearance personnel and above.

As of 05/12/2023, SCP-3666 contaminates the entire world population. \|>: Open file_scp-3666-incidents \|> Loading… Incident-A (12/01/2025): Several Level 1-2 Clearance personnel were made aware of 27 controversial O5 Council documents due to a breach of information from the Foundation archives. All members of the former O5 Council were executed before Foundation forces were capable of overcoming the attack. Further methods to protect the O5 Council and critical files have put in place. Incident-B (09/01/2029): The entirety of Site-87 and Area-45 were exposed to broadcasts of a Level 4-5 Clearance meeting from an unknown source. To avoid an attack similar to Incident-A, all personnel having viewed the broadcast were executed by a firing squad with the exception of Level 4-5 personnel. Executed personnel within Site-87 and Area-45 were replaced. The decision destabilized relations between higher and lower personnel following breaches of information of the event. Terminating lower personnel made aware of the event is still in question. Incident-C (05/05/2031): The population of Turkey, France, Norway, and Australia were made aware of the Foundation's existence through several breaches of information on their respective internet networks. Aforementioned information was published by Dr █████, a Foundation insider who was later found and executed. All mentions of Dr █████'s reports were rapidly removed. The information was memetic in nature; informed individuals were unable to forget or believe that the information was false. Several counter-memes were initiated, all were unsuccessful at preventing destabilization of governments and government trust within the aforementioned countries. Sites, areas, and Foundation officials were relocated. Incident-D (07/09/2035): The Ethics Committee was charged for several crimes of fraud, corruption, and high treason against the O5 Council and the Administrator. All of its members were executed. The Ethics Committee was reformed under stricter guidelines. All decisions concerning administrative laws or executive orders proposed by the Ethics Committee are to be reevaluated by the O5 Council and the Administrator. In order to replace roles maintained by the Ethics Committee, the Administrator was given supplementary and emergency powers within the council. Footnotes 1. SCP-3666 was reclassified as Gevurah by O5 Council vote due to its ability to influence the Foundation's inner structure and secondary objectives. \|>: Close file_scp-3666 \|> Closing File… \|>: Delete search-history \|> Deleting history… \|>: Shutdown scpsystem \|> Shutting down… ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3666" by SpookyPizza, from the SCP Wiki.
