SCP-3718 | keter | Item #: SCP-3718 Special Containment Procedures: Any SCP-3718 instances discovered in the wild are to be sedated1 and brought in for containment, or neutralized if the current number of contained SCP-3718 instances is greater than twenty. Foundation personnel are to monitor websites and animal control hotlines for mentions of potential SCP-3718 activity, as well as reports of individuals being attacked by cats, or seeing 'monster cats'. Any area that has seen a significant decline in local wildlife population in a small time frame is to be investigated for SCP-3718 activity. MTF Kappa-14 "AH! Sideshow Bob!" has been instructed to examine areas where GoI-233 has appeared for stray SCP-3718 specimens. SCP-3718 instances in containment are to be kept in a large feline habitat at Site-23, and require at least three times the normal daily intake of food compared to a normal Felis catus. Personnel entering the enclosure are recommended to only do so when the SCP-3718 population has been recently fed or sedated. Description: SCP-3718 is an unidentified species of organism, outwardly resembling individuals belonging to the species Felis catus (the domestic cat). While SCP-3718 instances are visually identical to non-anomalous Felis catus, when viewing the reflection of an SCP-3718 instance, a large, tripedal organism can be seen in place of a reflection. These organisms are an average of 75cm tall at the shoulder, exhibit numerous bioluminescent patches along the body, and are otherwise dark in coloration. These organisms posses no observable eyes or ears, but exhibit multiple orifices across the body, which are used in feeding. These organisms also possess highly sensitive vibrissae2 which run the length of their body, allowing for instances to observe their surroundings by sensing changes in air flow. This organism cannot be directly interacted with, as it does not seem to occupy any space that it would take up around the Felis catus body. SCP-3718 instances are active predators, and have been observed in packs hunting prey as large as elk, and consuming most of the kill. When feeding, SCP-3718 instances have been observed to cause a Class C-3 spatial anomaly. During this, the Felis catus appearance will contort up to three times in normal size, and orifices corresponding to those on the appearance of its reflection will open, and discharge pressurized digestive enzymes onto the kill. Once the digestive enzymes have had their effect, the orifices are used to grip parts of the prey, and deliver it into the digestive system through rows of teeth. Packs of feral SCP-3718 have been observed across the North American continent4, breeding rapidly. Due to their increased hunting activity, SCP-3718 has become a threat to natural wildlife in some cases, drastically decreasing the populations of many species, including birds and deer. Currently, at least three species native to North America have been reclassified as critically endangered due to the presence and rapid growth of SCP-3718 populations. Because of this, SCP-3718 is currently considered an invasive species, and containment is considered a high priority due to the increased spread and risk of discovery. Addendum: Discovery, and GoI Connections SCP-3718 was discovered following numerous online mentions of packs of feral cats killing abnormally large prey, as well as mentions of 'monster cats' that could only be seen in reflective surfaces. This was in conjunction with sudden decreases in many wildlife populations in certain areas, leading to an outcry from environmentalist groups. Embedded agents in these groups were able to capture several SCP-3718 instances, leading to subsequent discovery of their anomalous effects, and containment. SCP-3718 is believed to have been originated from GoI-233, as an attraction for its 'Menagerie of Mayhem'. Several solitary SCP-3718 instances have been located at or near areas where GoI-233 has visited. In addition, some instances have been found wearing collars identifying them as 'Property of Herman Fuller', or more recently 'Property of Herman Fuller's Circus of the Disquieting'. + Show Interview Log 3718-1 - Collapse Foreword: The following interview was conducted on ██/██/████, with a previously contained SCP that was formerly a part of GoI-233. Information was provided in exchange for consideration in regards to requests placed by SCP-████. For the interview, several photographs of an SCP-3718 instance, with the reflection clearly visible, were present. Interviewer: Dr. Reynard Interviewed: SCP-████ <Begin Log> [Irrelevant data expunged] Dr. Reynard: Are you familiar with these, from your time with the Circus of the Disquieting? (Dr. Reynard shows the photographs of SCP-3718 to SCP-████.) SCP-████: Shit, is that a Mewler? I used to help feed 'em and clean their cages. Cute little bastards, but they're ferocious. How'd ol' Essie get a hold of one? Dr. Reynard: They've become something of a nuisance. What exactly did you call it? SCP-████: 'Mewlers' is what we called 'em. 'Herman Fuller's Mind-Bending Mewling Monstrosities' doesn't quite roll off the tongue. They were a staple in the Menagerie. Had a whole House of Mirrors bit with 'em. Dr. Reynard: I see. And were there quite a few of these 'Mewlers' with the Circus? SCP-████: Not at first, but Herman didn't keep track of 'em, they'd always wander off- you know what they say about herding cats. So he'd go back to our dealer and get more and more. 'Course, the dealer wasn't too torn up about that. Towards the end of my stay though, li'l miss Lolly started making sure all the animals got taken care of. Loves pussies, that one. Dr. Reynard: The majority we've come across have been quite hostile, has this always been the case? SCP-████: They're like any other animal, they warm up to you if you feed 'em, but if you cut 'em loose, they'll go feral. I only got scratched… twenty-something times? And that was when they liked me. Dr. Reynard: You're aware, I assume, of their anomalous properties? SCP-████: Obviously! Used to help out with 'em. They didn't let me in on what exactly they are, I'm nobody that important. But from what I got, they're not from around here. Dr. Reynard: Elaborate. SCP-████: They bought 'em from this dealer who did a lot of business in the Library, the Bazaar too. It's like… they're from outside, and they're trying to force their way in, but they can't fit. Like a square peg tryin' to get through a round hole. That make any sense? Dr. Reynard: You're implying they're extradimensional in nature? SCP-████: Yeah, yeah. The 'cat' part, it's not really a cat. It's just our tiny monkey-brains tryin' to unscramble what we're looking at. Even what you see in the mirror, that probably isn't the whole thing. Dealer always had a hissy fit about how much trouble it was to make 'em where you wouldn't go Lovecraft-loco if you look at 'em. 'Course, don't always work right, that's why they get weird when they're eating. Don't stop 'em from being cute fuckers though, I'll tell you. Dr. Reynard: Thank you. Is there any other relevant information you'd be able to share? SCP-████: I don't think so. Spilled all I know about the- Oh, wait! One more thing, and trust me, you're going to want to know this one. These things only have one weakness, and if you know that, then you're set, and you can send them packing back to the squidverse, or wherever they came from. It's- (SCP-████ begins violently coughing.) Dr. Reynard: SCP-████? (SCP-████ mimes the act of expelling something onto the table before it.) SCP-████: Sorry, hairball. Dr. Reynard: …You weren't serious about the weakness, were you? SCP-████: Nope. You're screwed. <End Log> Addendum: Attempts to Control SCP-3718 Population Despite the continued efforts to cull the SCP-3718 population, it has continued to rise by a substantial amount each year. While current efforts primarily consist of locating and neutralizing instances whenever spotted, some researchers have deemed this as ineffective. Researchers are currently formulating an artificially created virus that, when contracted by an SCP-3718 instance, would render it, and any other instances that it comes into contact with, infertile. Infected SCP-3718 would be released into the wild in spots with high concentrations of SCP-3718 activity. Proposal pending approval by the Ethics Committee. Footnotes 1. The use of heavy sedatives is recommended, as smaller dosages have proven to be ineffective. 2. Specialized touch organs, most commonly seen as whiskers on mammals. 3. Negligible effects, considered to be on the same level as an optical illusion. 4. Notable areas include the Rocky Mountain range, Southern Canada, and numerous locations in California. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3718" by RecursiveRecursion, from the SCP Wiki.

(Hover to enlarge.) Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3719 is stored in a standard SAFE-Class containment stall in the Anomalous Objects Wing of Site-82. Foundation web crawler SE851G (“AZURE GLADIUS”) is to track social media posts, news reports, and SMS messages transmitted in the state of Maryland for references to 3719-COBALT Events. References to unnatural flowering plant growth patterns, the formation of collective human amalgamations, and irregularities in the operation of yard equipment are to be flagged and isolated for further monitoring. SCP-3719-A-1 through 61 (collectively designated SCP-3719-B) are contained in suspended animation in a standardized 10 000-L Class-6 Lovell–Huron containment vat.1 Persons associated with this anomaly, including nearby genetic relatives of SCP-3719-B, have been administered Class-A Amnestics. These persons are to undergo a false memory implantation procedure to subdue all memory of SCP-3719-B and the impact each affected person had on the Middlesex suburb during their life. Description: SCP-3719 is a GO/ON-brand lawnmower with a cutting width of 55 cm. SCP-3719 performs in an identical manner to non-anomalous rotary mowers, except for a few notable differences: SCP-3719 relies on the energy exerted by its user (designated SCP-3719-A) to power its engine. To prevent fatigue and over-exertion in SCP-3719-A, SCP-3719 generates added energy by reclaiming and consuming grass passing through its cutting deck. The generated energy does not mitigate the force required to push SCP-3719; rather, energy transfers through the lawnmower handle into SCP-3719-A via esoteric means. A chamber within SCP-3719 stores excess grass for future consumption. During use, SCP-3719-A instances operate the lawnmower until the desired lawn is fully mown. Each instance then experiences a sense of personal responsibility from the completion of the task. This mind-affecting property does not hinder SCP-3719-A; instead, SCP-3719-A instances experience positive emotional affect for long after SCP-3719 use. The emotional impact is shared by any person with a similar headspace2 to SCP-3719-A within the vicinity of its effects.3 ADDENDA MATERIALS I. Discovery SCP-3719 was discovered in the Middlesex suburb of Baltimore, Maryland, on 17 August 2014. On discovery, 61 residents constituting a collective body amalgamation4 were piloting SCP-3719 along the road with evident ease. When the Foundation arrived, about 6 km of roadways displayed anomalously manifested grass, whereas a 2-km stretch of roads had already been mown. The formation of masses like SCP-3719-B and widespread manifestation of grass on paved streets is termed a 3719-COBALT Event. II. Interview Log An interview was conducted with Grace Farley, a single parent living in Middlesex. The day before the discovery of SCP-3719-B, she had reported her son Kevin Farley as missing. A transcript is as follows. VIDEO LOG INTERVIEWER: Agent Francis Digby INTERVIEWED: Grace Farley NOTE: After Foundation personnel arrived on-scene, a 3-km-in-diameter no-go zone surrounding the neighbourhood was observed and cordoned off. While searching for persons directly affected by the 3719-COBALT Event, embedded field agents discovered Grace Farley (POI-3719-7) sitting alone on the curb. Agent Francis Digby approached Ms. Farley under the guise of a concerned neighbour with the neighbourhood watch. Shortly thereafter, she agreed to a recorded interview. [BEGIN LOG] Agent Francis Digby: — like I said, and I'm Francis Digby from just up the street. And you don't mind if I ask you some things about the incident? Ms. Grace Farley: 'Course not, Francis, anything you need, my dear. And please, do call me Grace. Agent Digby: So, Grace, how did you first hear about the lawnmower? Ms. Farley: Old Billy kept that mower locked in his garage since before my boys were born. Billy's always been on the go, but after his accident, it's been hard for him to manage things. Robbie lifted the mower from him in the spring, had it refurbished, made sure it worked fine. Let me tell you, Francis, there was just somethin' about that mower that made it special. In all my days, I've never seen Rob so interested in anything, 'cept for that mower. Agent Digby: In what way was he interested, Grace? Ms. Farley: The spark in his eyes when he worked on that thing, you wouldn't believe. It had to be special. Wouldn't make sense otherwise. Agent Digby: So, Bill owned the mower, and he lent it to Robert. Is there any indication that anyone else used the mower during that time? Ms. Farley: [She shakes her head.] Robbie went about, door-to-door, askin' if anyone wanted their lawns cut. That kid was willing, and it seemed like once he started, he just couldn't stop himself. On the first day, he cut nine lawns alone! Can you believe that, Francis? [Agent Digby grunts in approval.] Ms. Farley: The next week it was as if everybody was asking Rob to cut their lawns, all the way down to Waterview, and boy did he do it. Robbie's one of those meek types — when the little ones wanted to try the mower, he let them, so they could learn too. I would never allow my youngest to go near the thing, but those kids nudged it along like it was a toy. Agent Digby: And you said your eldest son was Kevin, correct? Ms. Farley: Yes, my dear. Agent Digby: Grace, for what reason did Kevin start using that mower? Ms. Farley: I had to let my boy try it. Just had to. Heaven knows I wouldn't even know how to use the thing myself. But my Kevin, he's a smart cookie, he is. Could figure out anything he set his mind to. So, when he joined the others, I just knew they were going to enjoy themselves fine. It's better having 'em so close together, Francis, isn't it? Agent Digby: I'm not so sure what you mean, Grace. Ms. Farley: Kevin's a– He's a smart kid with a kind heart. That's the boy I raised. Yeah, I always wanted to keep him away from the bad crowd. Couldn't bear to lose my baby. So, I tried hard, see? To teach 'em right. To get him along with the other smart boys I know are out there, too. Now, Francis, to see him want to join the other kids? That made me proud. [Pause.] Ms. Farley: All those kids, together, closer than a hug. That's what gives this community its spirit. We can all learn to become as warm as those kids were, and that mower's the key. Agent Digby: How — how'd Kevin and the other kids come together? Ms. Farley: There were maybe seven others, or so. The closest boys and girls in the neighbourhood. We're all good parents. We all know how to raise a good kid. Raise a kid well enough, and eventually, they'll raise themselves. Agent Digby: Grace, do you believe that this lawnmower is going to help them learn how to raise themselves properly? Ms. Farley: I don't just think so, Francis; I've seen it with my own eyes. Those kids could achieve incredible things if they just worked together. All eight of 'em, in the same body — that's what we raised 'em for. Agent Digby: You're saying these kids were in the same body? But– That's just not possible, Grace. Ms. Farley: Makes sense to me, Francis. [Pause.] Ms. Farley: But wouldn't you like to see all our sons and daughters together, bonding deeper than they ever could naturally? Having them so close together, boy, it just gives me the fuzziest feelin'. Middlesex ain't what it was when I grew up. I never learned the same closeness my sons know. [Ms. Farley retrieves a tissue from her purse.] Ms. Farley: Being able to help the Other in such a way, with the smartest sons and daughters this neighbourhood's ever seen. That's human. That's heart. I just crave to bask in the skin of the Other. To be as warm as them. Wouldn't you like to be as warm as those kids, Francis? Wouldn't you like to share my skin too? Agent Digby: Grace– Ms. Farley: Why can't you share one body, one soul, and by God if it's possible, one flesh? We're all human, Francis. We're one. We were born together and together we shall remain. It's meant to be that way, 'cause what other way could there be? Keep 'em together, and we won't be having any more tragedies, like the ones you see in the headlines every week. That mower's the best thing to happen to this neighbourhood, period. You wouldn't understand unless you stitched your heart where all others can see and basked in the skin of your fellow man. [END LOG] Footnotes 1. Lovell, T., & Huron, M. (2014).

SCP-3720 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3720 Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Iota-10 (“Damn Feds”) is to monitor civilian police department records worldwide for unsolved homicide, assault, or stalking cases that could indicate SCP-3720 activity. If SCP-3720-1 is confirmed to be targeting an individual, said individual is to be taken into protective Foundation custody. If possible, SCP-3720-1 manifestations should be non-lethally subdued and taken in for interrogation. + Archived Special Containment Procedures - Click to close Archived Special Containment Procedures Archived Special Containment Procedures: Site-121’s daily perimeter patrols and security are to be doubled from the standard of a Site containing primarily Safe-class anomalies. All delivery crews entering Site-121 are to undergo additional screening before being allowed through Site-121’s main gate. When a manifestation of SCP-3720-1 is detected on Site-121 grounds, Site-121 is to initiate Lockdown Procedure LONGSHORE (“Uninvited Guest”), and security personnel should attempt to capture SCP-3720-1 alive for interrogation. If nonlethal takedown is impractical or impossible, security personnel are authorized to use deadly force. Patrol routes are to be reconfigured on a bi-weekly basis. Description: SCP-3720 refers to the phenomena wherein an individual will be targeted for murder by SCP-3720-1. SCP-3720-1 manifests as a middle-aged Caucasian male, and exhibits no anomalous traits or abilities apart from its ability to spontaneously manifest and demanifest at will. SCP-3720-1 typically manifests wearing some form of civilian clothing appropriate with the region it appears in, and carrying various tools and weapons to help it locate, confront, and kill its target, hereafter referred to as SCP-3720-2. See Addendum 3720-01 for details regarding SCP-3720-1 activities. If SCP-3720-1 is killed before killing SCP-3720-2, its remains and belongings will demanifest after several minutes, and a new manifestation of SCP-3720-1 will appear after one to three weeks within the approximate vicinity of SCP-3720-2. This new manifestation will continue to attempt to kill SCP-3720-2, apparently retaining the knowledge and experience of its previous iterations. Once SCP-3720-2 is dead, either through SCP-3720-1’s direct action or other causes, SCP-3720-1 will manifest elsewhere in the world after an extend period of time, targeting a new individual. SCP-3720 first came to the Foundation’s attention after SCP-3720-1 began periodically assaulting Site-121 in 2005. Since its discovery, SCP-3720 is believed to be responsible for anywhere from 7 to ██ deaths worldwide. + Addendum 3720-01: Partial Manifestation Log - Click to close Addendum 3720-01 Addendum 3720-01: Partial Manifestation Log Note: As many of SCP-3720-1’s incursions involved avoiding security patrols and surveillance equipment, concrete footage and eyewitness accounts were not always available. As such, the “Reconstructed Events” portion of these logs is merely the forensics team’s leading theory as to what occurred based on environmental context and whatever footage and eyewitness accounts were available. Manifestation #: 1 Date: 07/12/2005 Reconstructed Events: SCP-3720-1 blockades the main road leading to Site-121 using a fallen tree, forcing an inbound delivery truck to a stop. SCP-3720-1 incapacitates the lightly-armed delivery crew, leaving them unconscious on the side of the road. Stealing a uniform and ID, SCP-3720-1 commandeers the truck and attempts to pose as a deliveryman at Site-121’s gates. SCP-3720-1 is allowed to enter, but is recognized as an impostor by the loading bay staff. Security is alerted, and SCP-3720-1 is terminated while trying to flee. Upon its corpse demanifesting, entity is designated SCP-3720 and presumed neutralized. Site-121 Security Updates: Gate security staff reprimanded for failing to closely scrutinize the presented credentials. Delivery crews en route to Site-121 are now accompanied by two (2) armed security staff. Manifestation #: 2 Date: 07/20/2005 Reconstructed Events: SCP-3720-1 attempts to cut a hole in Site-121’s perimeter fence using a pair of bolt cutters. SCP-3720-1 is spotted by border patrols during this activity, and is terminated while attempting to flee. Upon demanifestation, SCP-3720 is reclassified as Euclid. Site-121 Security Updates: Perimeter security staff increased by 50% in anticipation of further incursions. Manifestation #: 5 Date: 09/01/2005 Reconstructed Events: Just after nightfall, SCP-3720-1 ambushes and incapacitates two border patrol officers using hand-to-hand combat and a small cattle prod. SCP-3720-1 cuts a hole in Site-121’s perimeter fence and proceeds deeper into the site on foot. SCP-3720-1 is spotted on camera unsuccessfully attempting to enter the Staff Dormitories’ front entrance. Security personnel are dispatched, and SCP-3720-1 is terminated while attempting to engage the response team using the aforementioned cattle prod. Site-121 Security Updates: Chain-link perimeter fence reinforced with a layer of sheet metal. Manifestation #: 8 Date: 11/12/2005 Reconstructed Events: SCP-3720-1 remotely detonates a small amount of explosives in the forested area near Site-121’s eastern entrance. While the bulk of Site-121 security staff are preoccupied investigating the blast and reinforcing the eastern gate, SCP-3720-1 uses a rudimentary zipline-like device to travel over the western end of the perimeter fence. SCP-3720-1 attempts to use a makeshift shaped explosive to enter the Staff Dormitories through a wall connected to a vacant supply closet. SCP-3720-1 is killed when the shaped charge detonates prematurely, leaving the wall moderately damaged. Site-121 Security Updates: Staff Dormitories’ wall is repaired. Several watchtowers are constructed around Site-121’s perimeter fence. Security patrols are assigned to the Staff Dormitories’ exterior. Manifestation #: 12 Date: 03/24/2006 Reconstructed Events: SCP-3720-1 spends an indeterminate amount of time digging a small underground tunnel, approximately 80 meters in length and 1.5 meters in diameter, from the wooded area surrounding Site-121 to a maintenance tunnel directly beneath Site-121. SCP-3720-1 navigates the maintenance tunnel, using a miniaturized tranquilizer gun to incapacitate the three (3) unarmed custodial staff it encounters along the way, before ascending a stairwell to the ground floor of Site-121’s Staff Dormitories. SCP-3720-1 is recognized by Researcher ████, who uses her personal sidearm to incapacitate the entity with a shot to its left shin. Security teams are scrambled, and SCP-3720-1 is stabilized and taken into Foundation custody. See Interview Log 3720-01. Site-121 Security Updates: Cameras are installed in various regions of Site-121’s underground maintenance tunnels. Several members of Site-121 administration propose temporary relocation of staff living quarters to a different, more secure location. + Interview Log 3720-01 - Click to close Interview Log 3720-01 Interview Log 3720-01 Date: 03/24/2006 Interviewer: Dr. Perrino Interviewed: SCP-3720-1 Foreword: Following its capture at the hands of Site-121 security, SCP-3720-1 had its wounds treated and its gear confiscated, and was handcuffed and sent to an on-site interrogation room. <Begin log> Perrino: Why have you been continually attempting to infiltrate this compound? Specifically, the Staff Dormitories? 3720-1: Was hired to kill one of your guys. S████████. Perrino: Hired by whom? 3720-1: You wouldn’t know her. Kinda part of the problem, that. Perrino: Indulge me. 3720-1: The name “Velkai, Ever Present and Ever Watchful” ring any bells? Perrino: I’m afraid not. 3720-1: Told ya. Perrino: Why does this “Velkai” want S████████ dead? 3720-1: He, ah… He broke a vase. Of hers. Well, dedicated to her. Perrino: And that warrants execution? 3720-1: In my opinion? No. But Velkai likes her pottery. Doesn’t have much left. Perrino: Can we contact this individual? 3720-1: She doesn’t talk to humans, aside from me. Says it’s below her. Perrino: Velkai is non-human, then. 3720-1: Yup. Perrino: What would you describe her as? 3720-1: Not a good word for it in our language, m’afraid. Perrino: Are you non-human as well? 3720-1: I'm just as human as you are, chief. Perrino: Your apparent reincarnations would suggest otherwise. 3720-1: Well, that's just part of the job. Perrino: I assume you’re referring to your job as an… assassin? Is that a fitting title? 3720-1: Yup. The whole disappearin’ and reappearin’ act is just somethin' of a "new hire bonus". Perrino: There are others like you? 3720-1: Other hitmen? Yeah. But none of em’s human like me, far as I know. Part of why I took the job. Perrino: I’m afraid I don’t follow. 3720-1: There’s always gonna be folks out there who want someone dead. And there’s always folks who are willin’ to make that someone dead, for the right price. Difference is how many other folks get hurt in the process, understand? Perrino: Somewhat. Continue, please. 3720-1: My, uh, coworkers couldn’t give two shakes of piss about collateral damage. They ain’t human, so what do they care if some extra humans get squashed along the way? Perrino: And you try to avoid such collateral? 3720-1: Figured I made that abundantly clear. Coulda come in here guns blazin’, but I try to do things a bit more civil-like. Consider yerself lucky I got hired instead’a one of the real mean fuckers. Which brings me to my proposal. Perrino: And what’s that? 3720-1: Hand over S████████, before other folks get hurt. Perrino: Excuse me? 3720-1: I know it don’t sound all that appealin’. But I’ve been at this for months now. Velkai’s gettin’ impatient. She doesn’t have a lotta influence anymore, so she turned to me first, since I work real cheap. But eventually, she’s gonna save up enough to hire one of the mean fuckers instead. And that’s bad news for everyone around here. Perrino: We’re not going to hand over a man to be executed based on your vague threats. 3720-1: It ain’t a threat, chief. Look, S████████’s a dead man. Don’t matter if I get him, or the next guy Velkai hires gets him. He’s marked, understand? All that’s up for debate is how many other folks gotta die in the process. Perrino: There’s no evidence to back up any of your claims. This could simply be a ploy to make your job easier. 3720-1: If I wanted my job to be easy, I’d just jury-rig some chlorine gas and pump it into every building in this place. But I ain’t looking for the easy way. Perrino: You chose a strange line of work if you value human life this much. 3720-1: Look, asshole, there’s always gonna be people payin’ good money to have other people killed. I can’t stop the goddamn system, so I might as well do what I can to take business away from the reckless shitheads who pick up these sorts’a contracts. [SCP-3720-1 sighs.] 3720-1: My head’s startin’ to ache from stickin' around this long. Just-… just think about what I told ya, alright? My way ain’t exactly pretty, but it beats the alternative. [SCP-3720-1 abruptly dematerializes.] <End Log> Addendum 3720-02: Following Interview 3720-01, it was decided that Researcher S████████ be transported to an off-site safe house to minimize the risk towards other Foundation staff while MTF Upsilon-8 ("Adherents") attempted to contact Entity of Interest 3720-1 ("Velkai"). Upsilon-8's attempts were unsuccessful, and over the course of the next several weeks, SCP-3720-1 staged multiple assaults on the safe house, all of which were thwarted by security personnel. No Foundation casualties were sustained during this time. On 06/03/2006, despite the lack of nearby fault lines, an earthquake (estimated magnitude: 7.0-7.5) decimated the safe house, killing Researcher S████████ and four of the six assigned security staff. The earthquake was localized entirely to the safe house and approximately 1.5 square kilometers of the surrounding forest. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3720" by Freemayne, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3721 | keter | close Info X There was always a thought, however fleeting, that a single weapon could win the war for the Reich; that our glorious engineers could construct the rough beast that doomed the degenerate dregs that infested our Fatherland. In hindsight, slave labor did not win wars. -Wilfried Ackermann, 26/09/1946 Check out more of my articles here! ⚠️ Content warning: This article contains nazism, abuse, and the k slur ⚠️ content warning Item #: SCP-3721 ƟU-3/3721 Classified Threat Level: Red The Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum Stuttgart, where SCP-3721-1 is located. SCP-3721-1, pictured with Agent Heiden. Special Containment Procedures: With the conclusion of the Theta-Unseelie project, resources formerly allocated to SCP-3721-1's study are to be permanently allocated towards its containment. SCP-3721-1 is surrounded by a Faraday cage that attenuates incoming radio waves. To this end, Mobile Task Force Theta-18 ("Antisemitics Division")1 has been tasked with sabotaging associated Obskurakorps communication stations as they are discovered. As a precautionary measure, misleading radio reports are to be transmitted to SCP-3721-1 on a constant basis. Due to the nature and location of SCP-3721-2, containment is focused on misdirection and prevention. As such, several Foundation-owned transmission stations are to monitor SCP-3721-2's movements. Misinformation transmissions are to be beamed from all stations where SCP-3721-2 is currently visible, with a <25% veracity overlap to those transmitted to SCP-3721-1. Foundation assets are to work with civilian space programs to reduce debris within SCP-3721-2's flight path and prevent collisions with mundane satellites. Areas targeted by SCP-3721-2 are to be sprayed with aerosolized amnestics, and Abnormal Cover Story-10 ("Meteor strike") is to be disseminated to news media. Due to the severity of SCP-3721-2's strikes, the Gaslight Protocol is recommended for direct witnesses. Decryption and analysis of SCP-3721's novel transmission systems are Kappa-level priorities. Description: SCP-3721 consists of a spotter device (SCP-3721-1) and a rudimentary satellite (SCP-3721-2) which compose a kinetic bombardment system developed by Ahnenerbe Obskurakorps for long-range strikes against the Allied Powers. Recovered documentation suggest its designs were reworked from a previously existing device; however, all records pertaining to such a device appear to have been destroyed. SCP-3721-1 is a series of mainframe computers connected to an array of printers and esoteric radio equipment. Much of the wiring is redundant or obsolete; additionally, exposed wiring, improper cooling systems, and structural decay has rendered maintenance unsafe. Despite extensive signs of wear and vandalism, SCP-3721-1 remains functional. SCP-3721-1 processes information relating to geopolitical events and uses such information to instruct SCP-3721-2 on when to fire. Ambient radio transmissions are analyzed, compared to SCP-3721-2's movements, and selectively passed over at SCP-3721-1's discretion. Additionally, surviving documentation suggests SCP-3721-1 controls a binary setting that inflicts a continuous sense of pain in SCP-3721-2 while activated. Movements, communications, and actions are automatically recorded by SCP-3721-1; however, recordings are encrypted through a series of nondeterministically-cycled patterns2, with shifts occurring between 38-841 second intervals. To date, only Pattern 19 has been decrypted. Aftermath of SCP- 3721-2's 22/11/1943 strike. SCP-3721-2 is a cylindrical satellite in asynchronous orbit with Earth. SCP-3721-2's surface is covered in an array of ceramic panels, most of which have either broken off or been reconstituted in order to repair internal systems. Underneath SCP-3721-2's frame is a series of mechanical arms that assist in operations. When SCP-3721-2 was first launched, it had been fitted with an internally adjustable thrust system, self-repair equipment, a magazine containing six tungsten poles, and a vestigial radio receiver; despite this, SCP-3721-2 cannot interpret radio signals.3 As expected of long-term low earth orbit, SCP-3721-2 has suffered extensive wear, which it has attempted to repair with surrounding space debris. As noted above, SCP-3721-2 is almost entirely reliant upon SCP-3721-1 for guidance; it cannot perceive any object further than 30 meters from its position. Firing is managed by SCP-3721-2, and involves braking ammunition out of orbit. Kinetic energy loss is kept at a minimum through the aerodynamic design of ammunition, resulting in a significant amount of force upon impact. Should SCP-3721-2's magazine be empty or its structural integrity be sufficiently compromised, it will actively search for orbital debris with which to reconstruct itself. Otherwise, SCP-3721-2 will fire if its flight path takes it over a suspected population center, regardless of nationality. HISTORY SCP-3721's existence was first theorized on 09/11/1943, following a series of kinetic strikes against Stuttgart, Nuremberg, Weimar, and Berlin. Although the Foundation believed it to be the work of an Allied eigenweapon, Foundation intelligence was unable to confirm the source of the attacks until March of 1945. MTF-Theta ("Hole in the Wall") confirmed SCP-3721's existence on 06/03/1945, following a raid on Obskurakorps's Dresden offices. Capture was authorized on 19/04/1945, although efforts to secure SCP-3721 were met with difficulties as a result of Stuttgart's occupation and interference from the American Supernatural Containment Initiative (ASCI). SCP-3721 was finally secured by the Foundation on 21/01/1949. Containment procedures were implemented in full on 24/01/1949. ANALYSIS OF RECOVERED DOCUMENTATION The majority of documentation comes from the raid of Obskurakorps's Dresden offices, as well as evidence procured by former Obskurakorps clerical aide Daniela Heiden during the Nuremberg Trials. Development began in 1940 following the failure of the Aggregat 2‘ program. SCP-3721’s development was split between Obskurakorps' aerospace and biology divisions, headed by Drs. Wilfried Akermann and Eva Zellweger4, respectively. Both divisions were assisted by an unnamed engineer5 that had worked on a precursor device. Obskurakorps' aerospace division focused primarily upon the launch capabilities of SCP-3721-2, along with the weaponization of existing systems. While initial engine designs were based on von Braun's A3, later drafts would take a more esoteric approach to fueling. Ultimately, engine design would be outsourced to the biology division. Meanwhile, plans to resupply SCP-3721-2 with ammunition on a bi-monthly basis were considered, but never implemented. The biology division's primary objective was the development of a target identification system. To prevent appropriation by the Allied powers, a two-factor system manned by effectively sentient controllers was proposed; in effect, this took the form of an esoteric engine composed of beryllium bronze and human brain tissue. The first of these engines were built and implemented on 06/10/1943. SCP-3721-2's launch6 was overseen by Dr. Ackermann on 09/11/1943, with a projected flight path over several Russian population centers. SCP-3721-2 would proceed to fire upon four German population centers in the span of a day. Development of SCP-3721 was immediately halted. Despite her status as project director, Dr. Zellweger was tightly managed by her superiors until her disappearance on 06/10/1943. Personal accounts would describe Zellweger as patient and cordial, if increasingly withdrawn as the project continued. A majority of blueprints and design documents contain commentary in broken German, often accompanied by sketches of vegetation; such commentary does not appear past 05/10/1943. DECRYPTED COMMUNICATIONS SCP-3721's encryption methods do not resemble known Obskurakorps cryptography. As such, decoding SCP-3721's output has proven difficult. The following is true of Pattern 19, and supposedly true of the rest of SCP-3721's output: Information is printed in a series of two channels, the first representing communications between SCP-3721-1 and -2, and the second signalling the pain function. All communication is written in a pidgin of German and Yiddish. SCP-3721-1 is referred to as "CONTROLLER", and SCP-3721-2 is referred to as "PLANTER". The majority of patterns employed bear resemblance to 1930s Ashkenazi paracryptography. The significance of this is unknown. ▷ Transmission 13/02/1949 Access Granted CONTROLLER: I want to be clear with you: you are blind. You are weak. You are helpless.

SCP-3722 | keter | “The spider weaves the curtains in the palace of the Caesars/The owl calls the watch in the towers of Afrasiab" close Info X SCP-3722: The City That Was Half the World Author: Tufto, written on their original account. More of their work can be found here. Image: Can be found here, and is in the public domain. WARNING: This article, along with all information about SCP-3722, contains an infohazard which prompts an amnestic effect in all who read it. After you have read this article, you will be unable to retain the majority of the information contained within; all researchers on SCP-3722 must take an appropriate dose of mnestics after reading this article. The earliest known image of SCP-3722.1 Item #: SCP-3722 Special Containment Procedures: A method of preventing SCP-3722 has not yet been found. Due to the amnestic effect of SCP-3722, only personnel who have subsequently taken mnestics can recall any information about SCP-3722 or any SCP-3722 events. This effect has thus far protected SCP-3722 from public exposure. Due to the unstable nature of SCP-3722, it is possible that its amnestic effect could fail in the future. Should this occur, Operation Caesar's Spider is to be launched to artificially prevent public knowledge of SCP-3722. In order to prevent a further degradation of SCP-3722, Foundation agents have been embedded in the planning departments of Isfahan's municipal authorities. They are to prevent any alterations to the city and its landscape which could further destabilise SCP-3722. Due to the ORIA not possessing any mnestic capabilities, it is believed that the organisation is unaware of SCP-3722. Preventing ORIA from gaining mnestic capabilities is considered to be of vital importance. Informing ORIA of SCP-3722 is part of the protocol for Operation Caesar's Spider, in order to enlist their aid in containing the anomaly and preventing exposure. Observation of SCP-3722 is to be performed via remote drone, as any humans entering SCP-3722 will become SCP-3722-1 instances. Description: SCP-3722 refers to an event taking place in the city of Isfahan, Iran, on 13 Muharram each year according to the Hijri calendar. Beginning at sunrise, and finishing at sunset, the entire structure and layout of the city metamorphosises into a near-identical copy of itself from an earlier point in its history. SCP-3722 always emulates the city at a point prior to 23/10/1722 (13 Muharram 1135 in the Hijri calendar);2 ordinarily, this will be at a point between the 1610s and 1670s.3 The precise scenarios which occur are believed to be thematically linked to events taking place in contemporary Iran. The inhabitants of the city also abruptly transform, with their clothes, visual appearance and personalities altering to match the period and location which SCP-3722 is emulating. These individuals are henceforth referred to as SCP-3722-1. SCP-3722-1 instances act in a period-appropriate fashion, taking on jobs and roles necessary for the functioning of the city in the period emulated. Any individuals entering the city during SCP-3722 will also become SCP-3722-1 instances. Any non-human objects entering the city will not transform after the beginning of the event, however, which can often cause confusion among the SCP-3722-1 instances who encounter them.4 At dusk, the city abruptly collapses into rubble. Following this, SCP-3722 ends, and the city returns to its ordinary, non-anomalous state. The SCP-3722-1 instances transform back into ordinary individuals, who possess no recollections of SCP-3722; their memories will compensate by constructing alternate scenarios about the day in question. The same will occur for any outside observers, or any individuals who learn about SCP-3722 through second-hand means. The only known way to counter this memory-loss is through the use of mnestic compounds. It is unknown how long SCP-3722 has been active, but it is speculated to have begun shortly after 23/10/1722 (13 Muharram 1135 in the Islamic calendar). It was discovered by Foundation personnel on 13/12/1978 (13 Muharram 1399), shortly after the first discovery and implementation of modern mnestics. +Incident Log -Incident Log Below are a number of particularly notable SCP-3722 events. Date upon which incident took place Date SCP-3722 emulated Notes on event Suspected contemporary event to which the incident is linked 20/11/1979 (13 Muharram 1401) 1503 CE The city appears as it did shortly after the capture of the city by Shah Isma'il. Some SCP-3722-1 appeared ecstatic, repeating calls for the "upcoming apocalypse" and "return of the Mahdi"; others seemed apprehensive about their role in the new society being created. The 1979 revolution and the political uncertainty it caused. 30/10/1982 (13 Muharram 1403) c. 1550 CE An SCP-3722-1 instance representing Shah Tahmasp appeared before crowds of SCP-3722-1, apparently on a state visit of the mamalik provinces5. Notably, SCP-2067 appeared to hover alongside Tahmasp; he seemed to be pleased with its presence, despite his antipathy towards the device being historically attested. The "Tahmasp" instance appeared with an orb of golden light around his head. Several strands of light extended from the orb into the sky; this is possibly a representation of Tahmasp's self-portrayal as a saintly king with a direct connection to 'Ali. The recent subordination of the ORIA to the central government. 25/08/1988 (13 Muharram 1409) Mythical scene; possibly an approximation of Sassanid Isfahan. Only two SCP-3722-1 instances, a man and a woman in their 30s, were present. The two instances spent the duration of the event wandering through Isfahan, talking and dancing in the streets. Based on the contents of their conversations, the two are believed to be representations of the Sassanid monarch Khosrau II and his consort Shirin as portrayed in the 11th century poem Khosrau and Shirin. Unknown; possibly the end of the Iran-Iraq war. 15/08/1989 (13 Muharram 1410) 1092 CE The SCP-3722-1 instances appeared to be in mourning over the death of the Seljuk grand vizier, Nizam al-Mulk, who was assassinated by agents of the Hashashin en route from Isfahan to Baghadad in 1092. The recent death of the Ayatollah Khomeini. 11/06/1995 (13 Muharram 1416) Mythical scene The city was entirely replaced by a temperate rainforest, with several large clouds hanging over it. Upon those clouds were seated a number of human and animal figures, all of whom were discussing the potential construction of a bathhouse. It is believed that this scene is a depiction of the "Court of Gayumars" myth found in Ferdowsi's Shahnama, the mytho-historical poem that informed the popular understanding of pre-Islamic Iranian history prior to the modern era. The recent and controversial demolition of a Safavid-era bathhouse. 26/03/2002 (13 Muharram 1423) c. 400 CE During the event, mass immigration into the newly-created Jewish section of ancient Isfahan, known as Yahudia, was observed. An SCP-3722-1 instance representing the Jewish consort of the Sassanid monarch Yazdegerd I, Queen Shushandukht, is present and appears to welcome SCP-3722-1 instances representing the Jewish population into the new segment of the city. Of note is the conversation among the SCP-3722-1 instances, which seemed to principally be concerned with the exploits of the Shahnama hero Rostam, rather than any historical figures. Unknown 29/12/2009 (13 Muharram 1431) 1666 CE The SCP-3722-1 instances appeared to be recreating the popular unrest over the famine which took hold of Iran in 1666-1667, and which only prompted a slow reaction from the central government. The popular unrest which took place in Iran in response to the 2009 presidential election results. 16/11/2013 (13 Muharram 1435) Believed to be 1722 CE See Addendum 2 300th anniversary of the fall of Isfahan to the Hotaki dynasty Addendum 1, 01/10/2011: On 08/09/2011, Foundation historians discovered a single damaged page of a Safavid-era letter in the Ottoman Imperial Archives. The writer and recipient are unknown, but the letter was dated to after the Treaty of Constantinople between the Safavids and the Ottomans in 1590. The letter begins and ends mid-sentence, and has suffered extensive water damage. A translation from the original Persian is as follows: as your second Solomon can attest to6. May this peace last a thousand years! For the hostilities between fellow Muslims are to be deplored; the Dar al-Islam7 must remain united. I speak to you now on a more fascinating and terrible subject; Our Shah’s plans for the reconstruction of Isfahan. He has taken a strange step; he has elected not to alter the old city of Isfahan, with no changes being made to its houses or mosques. Instead, our glorious monarch has conceived of the creation of an entirely new city, built slightly away from the old city. The plans he has presented are almost perfect in their form and function; he would create a single long boulevard, flanked by beautiful houses, gardens and trees. This would lead past the palatial complex, onto which it would open. On the other side of the palace <The letter here becomes illegible for several lines, due to subsequent water damage> consulting with various alchemists and physicians in its design. Its perfection goes beyond the mere requirements of the city, but is instead designed to simulate a particular alchemical representation of the human mind. The city would have a life of its own; its call, subliminal and strange, would possess a grand memory of the past and a grand lure to all who see its walls. Prosperity and grandeur seem to be the destiny of <The letter here becomes illegible for several lines, due to subsequent water damage> should it ever be damaged. The design must remain intact, I have found, for the Shah’s scheme to work; alteration or destruction would result in an irreparable flaw in the design. I do not believe this would deactivate it entirely, but would instead Addendum 2, 17/11/2013: On 16/11/2013 (13 Muharram 1435), the 300th anniversary (in Hijri years) of the fall of Isfahan to the Hotaki dynasty, SCP-3722 took on a notably different form. It appeared to emulate Isfahan following its fall in 1722, but with several notable alterations, such as the complete absence of SCP-3722-1. A remote drone was sent into Isfahan in order to ascertain the details of this unusual scenario. +Exploration Log -Exploration Log Hours/Minutes/Seconds: Description of drone's position and surrounding area. <Begin Log> 00/00/00: The drone is activated just outside the city boundaries. 00/01/03: The drone enters the city by the North Gate. All of the buildings appear to be in a state of good repair. The drone is ordered to continue down the Chahbagh Avenue to the palatial complex. 00/19/38: The drone is moving past a typical Safavid nobleman's house, apparently built in the early 17th century. A number of SCP-3722-1 instances resembling soldiers in the service of the Hotaki dynasty suddenly appear. They proceed to loot and set fire to the house. As they do so, minor structural damage can be seen to appear on the surrounding houses8. After the fire has gone out, the SCP-3722-1 instances disappear. The drone is ordered to continue. 00/37/08: The drone is moving past a 17th-century coffeehouse. Two SCP-3722-1 instances, dressed in clothes appropriate to the mid-20th century, suddenly appear. One of the SCP-3722-1 instances appears to be playing the part of the coffeehouse's owner; the other appears to be playing the part of a property developer who wishes to convert the coffeehouse into an apartment block. After much negotiation, the "developer" instance takes a bag full of coins from his pocket, and passes it to the "owner" instance. At this point, both instances disappear, and the coffeehouse collapses. Further structual damage then afflicts the other buildings in the camera's line of sight, causing several to collapse9. The drone is ordered to continue. 01/05/45: At this point, it is noted that sand appears to be pouring into the Chahbagh Avenue from the side streets. Investigation appears to show sand being pushed upwards from undergound through various cracks in the surface of the street. The drone is ordered to continue. 01/17/18: The drone has reached the entrance to the palace. As it enters, a large number of SCP-3722-1 instances, apparently representing looters, can be seen running across the palatial complex with a variety of valuable items; an SCP-3722-1 instance is urging them to "take the treasures of the false Sufis" as a form of divine punishment. All of the SCP-3722-1 instances appear to be wearing clothes suitable to the early 19th century. After 3 minutes of this behaviour, the SCP-3722-1 instances disappear; several of the palatial buildings abruptly collapse.10 The drone is ordered to continue through the palace to the Ali Qapu pavilion, and onto the Naqsh-e Jahan Square. 01/27/03: The drone enters the Naqsh-e Jahan square. A single statue is located in the centre of the square, which has never been present during the city's non-anomalous state. The drone is ordered to approach the statue. A large quantity of sand appears to be erupting from cracks in the surface of the square and the surrounding buildings; this sand is rapidly filling the square, despite its vast size. 01/30/14: The statue appears to be of Shah ‘Abbas I, looking triumphantly up at the sky. Engraved onto the pedestal is a couplet in Persian: “The spider weaves the curtains in the palace of the Caesars/The owl calls the watch in the towers of Afrasiab"11. 01/30/49: The sand is now increasing in volume at an extremely rapid rate. The drone is instructed to fly directly upwards in order to gain a birds-eye view of the city. 01/31/58: The drone has ascended to a height of 1000m. The streets can be seen to be entirely covered in sand, which continues to increase in volume. 06/57/33: Sunset is just beginning. All of the city's structures are entirely covered by sand; movement beneath the sand indicates that the city's collapse is beginning. The drone is ordered to return to base. <End Log> After sunset, SCP-3722 ended, and the populace of Isfahan was restored as per usual. I can't even make them remember. And I can't make myself forget. Footnotes 1. Although commonly believed to be a picture of Isfahan, a note written on the back of this image - and only readable under the influence of mnestics - describes the artist witnessing the city "magically transform" when approaching it from a distance. The artist, Eugène Flandin, apparently believed it to simply be an image of Isfahan. Only personnel who have subsequently taken appropriate mnestics have been able to remember the contents of the written note. 2. The date of the city's fall to the Hotaki dynasty and the end of Safavid rule. 3. The period between the completion of Shah 'Abbas's "New City" and the beginning of the collapse of the Safavid economy and Safavid political control. 4. The only exceptions to this are those objects found on the person of a human entering the city. The exact parameters are unclear; a handbag or a car will transform, for instance, while a balloon being held by a piece of string will not. 5. Those provinces ruled by the Qizilbash nobility and other regional governors, rather than directly by agents of the Shah 6. This is believed to be a reference to the ruling Sultan, Murad III 7. The general term for the regions of the world ruled by Muslims. 8. Satellite imagery showed that this affected the entire city. 9. Approximately 30% of the city's buildings collapsed at this point. 10. Following this, approximately 70% of the city's buildings had collapsed, with many others existing in an extremely dilapidated state. 11. This is the couplet recited by Sultan Mehmed II upon taking Constantinople in 1453, in which he reflects upon the decay of great empires. |
SCP-3724 | euclid | SCP-3724-1 on the roof of SCP-3724 An instance of SCP-3724-2-A (right) and SCP-3724-2-B (left) Item #: SCP-3724 Special Containment Procedures: The fencing around SCP-3724 which defines its outer perimeter has been altered to give strong electrical shocks upon physical contact. This is to act as a deterrent to prevent humans and animals from accessing SCP-3724. SCP-3724's front gate is to be guarded by at least one member of MTF Psi-7 ("Home Improvement") disguised as a security guard. The two neighboring houses adjacent to SCP-3724 have been purchased by the foundation in order to reduce the chances of civilians triggering an active state. Any individuals caught trespassing on the premises of SCP-3724 are to be detained, questioned, administered Class B amnestics and released. Future testing with SCP-3724 is to be approved by at least two personnel with level 3 clearance or higher. Description: SCP-3724 is a two-story house located in the center of a gated estate in [REDACTED], Georgia. SCP-3724 spans 75 square metres and is located on 3 acres of fenced land. There are several signs reading "Beware of Dog" on the front gate and outer fencing of SCP-3724. SCP-3724’s anomalous properties manifest when any autonomous entity enters within its established perimeter. Once an entity violates this perimeter SCP-3724 enters an active state during which SCP-3724-1 will bark incessantly whilst instances of SCP-3724-2 exit from numerous openings in SCP-3724 at an average rate of five instances per second. Instances of SCP-3724-2 will then proceed to attack the intruder by biting and scratching. SCP-3724 will remain in an active state until the intruder is destroyed or leaves the premises. Cadavers and pieces of broken machinery which remain within SCP-3724's perimeter are carried off of the property and buried by SCP-3724-2 instances before the cessation of the event. Examination of the perimeter of SCP-3724 resulted in the discovery of several buried animal corpses1, a toy R.C helicopter and a severed human foot2. After the event has concluded instances of SCP-3724-2 will re-enter SCP-3724 and any instances of SCP-3724-2 who perished during the event will undergo rapid decomposition until the entirety of the instance has been reduced to dust. All attempts to access the interior of SCP-3724 so far have been met with failure. To date attempts to access the interior of SCP-3724 have resulted in the loss of four land-based R.C drones, three air-based R.C drones, one D-class personnel and one military grade armored utility vehicle. Ranged camera inspection of the interior of SCP-3724 show no abnormalities and show no instances of SCP-3724-2. SCP-3724-1 is a member of Canis Lupus Familiaris or domestic dog and appears to be of Shih-poo breed. SCP-3724-1 is female and has fur with a dirty-grey coloration. SCP-3724-1 does not require food, water or sustenance of any kind and spends the entirety of its time on the roof of SCP-3724 while constantly looking out for intruders. SCP-3724-2 are members of Canis Lupus Familiaris or domestic dog and appear to be of Shih-poo breed. Instances of SCP-3724-2 appear to be cloned instances of the same two dogs classified as SCP-3724-2-A and SCP-3724-2-B. SCP-3724-2-A and SCP-3724-2-B are both male dogs with fur of a white coloration. At the beginning of an active state SCP-3724-2 instances possess physical attributes consistent with that of a non-anomalous dog of similar size and breed. However, as the event continues newly produced instances of SCP-3724-2 begin to display anomalous feats of strength and agility, the potency of these physical enhancements seems to be directly proportional to the length of time SCP-3724 has been in an active state. The longest event to date has been ten minutes long, at the end of which produced SCP-3724-2 instances were capable of running in excess of 80 km an hour, jumping 12 metres in the air and biting through three-inch-thick steel plating. Physically enhanced instances of SCP-3724-2 are indistinguishable from their normal counterparts and thus all instances are to be treated as potentially dangerous. Normal instances of SCP-3724-2 which are removed from the property prior to its deactivation will attempt to return and react violently to any attempts to impede it, following the cessation of the event the SCP-3724-2 will cease trying to return to SCP-3724 and will exhibit mannerisms similar to that of a non-anomalous domestic canine. SCP-3724-2 instances with enhanced physical attributes will also cease trying to return to SCP-3724 following the cessation of an active state. However, they will retain their aggressive nature. Due to their physical capabilities and violent tendencies, the removal of enhanced instances of SCP-3724-2 from SCP-3724 is strictly forbidden. Discovery: Housing records show that SCP-3724 was previously inhabited by a family of four, Phillip Richmond (age 37), Deana Richmond (age 35), Jason Richmond (age 12) and Rebecca Richmond (age 6). SCP-3724's anomalous properties were discovered shortly after all members of the family were killed in a car crash on 3/10/20143. SCP-3724 was discovered on 3/15/2014 when Robert Mafood, who was tasked with picking up the family dogs triggered an active state and was attacked by instances of SCP-3724-2. Robert then proceeded to call animal control complaining about a “swarm of dogs”. Two animal control agents were dispatched to the area where they triggered another active state and were promptly attacked. Following the second event, foundation personnel were contacted and quickly secured the area. Robert Mafood and other family members were interviewed and Class-B amnestics were applied where necessary. + Open Interview-3724-A - Access Granted Interviewed: Robert Mafood Interviewer: Researcher Daniel Beck Foreword: Robert Mafood was the first known individual to trigger an active state in SCP-3724 and is the brother of Deana Richmond, one of the former residents of SCP-3724. <Begin Log> Dr. Beck: Good afternoon Mr. Mafood Robert: Please, call me Robert Dr. Beck: Ok Robert, I just need to ask you a few questions in regards to what happened on the twelfth of March. Robert: You mean when I was attacked by those fucking dogs? Dr. Beck: Yes, why were you at the residence on that day? Robert: It’s my sister’s place, well -er it was my sister’s place. She uh, she died last week, car accident. Dr. Beck: I’m sorry to hear that- Robert: Not just her, Rebecca, Jason, Phillip, dead, all of them, because some bitch texting on her phone ran a red light. Dr. Beck: I understand you're upset but if we could just stick to the questions, please. Robert: Ok fine *pauses* sorry its just been rough you know? Dr. Beck: I understand. Ok so you were at your sister’s house, why? Robert: To pick up their dogs. With all that was happening with Deana we just kind of forgot about them so mom told me to pick them up, get them some food and keep them at my place. Dr. Beck: Ok, what happened when you got there? Robert: I pull up, step outside the car and I see one of the dogs on the balcony and as soon as it sees me it starts barking at me. Now, I was supposed to pick up THREE dogs, *Robert gestures the number three with his hands* THREE. So imagine my shock when a fucking ocean of dogs started pouring from the house. From the open windows, through the front grill, they just kept fucking coming and they were pissed. They fucking swarmed me like ants and bit the shit out of me, they were climbing on top of each other trying to get to my throat and push me over, they were prissy dogs but they were an army of prissy dogs, there must have been fucking hundreds of them. Dr. Beck: So how did you get away? Robert: I pulled them off of me, jumped back into the car and locked the doors. That didn’t stop them though; they just kept coming, jumping on the hood of the car, climbing over each other onto the sunroof. So I put it in reverse and fucking peeled out of there. I could hear my tires crunching as I ran over some of them but I didn’t give a fuck at that point. Dr. Beck: Were you familiar with your sister's dogs? Robert: I've seen them in photos and maybe once a while on the holidays but I doubt I made an impression. Dr. Beck: Do you remember where she got them? Robert: She didn't get them, Phillip got them after their house got broken into last Christmas, said they were supposed to watch the place while they were out. At the time I didn't understand why he didn't just install a security system or get a dog that might actually scare someone like a Pitbull, but damn, now I get what he was talking about. As for where he got them, I have no fucking idea. <End Log> Note: An investigation into how Phillip Richmond acquired the anomalous canines is ongoing. Addendum: 3724-1: On 3/17/2014 an individual managed to gain access to SCP-3724. The individual was a forty-year-old Puerto Rican female named Linda Vassil. Linda possessed an electronic opener for SCP-3724' s front gate and a set of keys for SCP-3724's front door. Following the encounter, Linda was amnestitised and told that the Richmonds had moved away. A detailed report of the incident may be viewed in the file below. + Open Incident Report-3724-A - Access Granted Linda entered the perimeter at 6:30 am while the stationed guard was sleeping and managed to enter the property without triggering an active state. Security footage showed SCP-3724-1 become visibly excited up upon seeing Linda, running in a small circle and barking before running away and out of the camera's view, moments later SCP-3724-1, a single instance of SCP-3724-2-A and a single instance of SCP-3724-2-B can be seen emerging from the back of SCP-3724 and running towards Linda. The three instances affectionately rub against Linda, nip at her ankles and put their front paws on her knees with Linda occasionally bending over to pet them. Linda enters SCP-3724 and remains for approximately six hours, cameras view Linda occasionally passing in front of windows usually while sweeping or carrying stacks of clothes. At 12:45 pm Linda exited SCP-3724 after which she was apprehended and questioned. It was revealed that Linda was Richmond's housekeeper who visited on a weekly basis, unaware of the family's demise Linda had come to the house for work that morning. Addendum: 3724-2: An investigation into the affairs of Phillip Richmond has lead to the identification of several business associates with potential ties to an underground black market specializing in the selling of anomalous objects to wealthy individuals. It is theorized that these markets are operated by small groups of individuals which fragmented from The Chicago Spectre in the late 1990's. Analysis of Phillip Richmond's computers and cellphones lead to the discovery of a series of text messages to a currently unidentified individual. It is believed that the conversation is of Mr. Richmond finalizing the purchase of an anomalous object which eventually lead to the creation of SCP-3724. + View Text Messages - Access Granted Are they ready yet? Ya they're ready Just waiting for you to wire the cash Thats alot of money Are you sure these things are as effective as you say? Guaranteed Once their established they'll chase away anything that steps foot in that yard And if they encounter something particularly persistant well……they've been taught to clean up the mess And I don't have to train them or anything? Nah, just make sure when you pick them up your the first person they see, then they'lle do whatever you want. Once you get home let um loose, let them walk around and establish their territory And make sure you let them sniff all the people who live in that house, we wouldn't want any accidents now. Thats it? Thats it Actually one more thing When you pick them up you will be given a set of phrases Its like a PIN for an alarm system When you speak one phrase they'll go on guard When you speak the other phrase they'll act like normal dogs Try not to mix them up Ok I wired the money Transfer Confirmed Go to this address: █████████████████ ██████████ Pleasure doing business with you Once the package has been picked up the transaction is complete You will not be able to contact me again so please, stay out of trouble The address given in the messages lead to an abandoned canning factory, a thorough search of which yielded no results. The phrases to which the seller is referring to have not been found in any of Mr. Richmonds journals or electronics, therefore it is believed that the phrases are either documented somewhere within SCP-3724 or they were lost when Mr. Richmond died. Footnotes 1. Seven squirrels, ten rats, and two domestic cats. 2. Forensic analysis showed that the foot belongs to a male between thirty and fifty years of age. The owner of the foot has not been identified and no other human remains were found around SCP-3724. 3. An investigation has ruled the deaths as a non-anomalous occurrence. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3724" by Freece, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3725 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3725 Level 2/3725 Restricted SCP-3725. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3725 is to be contained in a Standard Humanoid Containment Chamber. SCP-3725 is to be given access to a composition notebook, writing utensils, a laptop with limited internet access, and books on the development of story and narrative ideas. Personnel interacting with SCP-3725 are to encourage story concepts thought of by it. SCP-3725-1 instances are to be incinerated upon manifestation. SCP-3725-2 is contained within the former apartment of SCP-3725; attempts to access this apartment unauthorized are to be halted. Provisional Site-3725 has been constructed on Disappointment Island; civilians attempting to access the island are to be deterred. No further works of SCP-3725 are to be published in any form or demographic. Description: SCP-3725 is a 34-year-old amateur writer named Millard Carlton. At random intervals of time, SCP-3725-1 instances will spontaneously manifest within SCP-3725's left auditory canal1. SCP-3725-1 are sentient light bulbs attached to a tripedal base, connected to various springs and wires. SCP-3725-1 instances manifest in varying levels of complexity, with exact appearance differing between instances. The legs and springs of SCP-3725-1 are capable of rudimentary movement, and will exhibit behavior similar to that of crustaceans once removed from SCP-3725's ear. After the manifestation of an SCP-3725-1 instance, SCP-3725 will experience temporary symptoms of short-term memory loss. SCP-3725-1 possessing different degrees of complexity. Despite not possessing a power source, the light bulb present on instances of SCP-3725-1 will flicker intermittently. This flickering is a repeating Morse Code transmission that relays unfinished story concepts of varying genre. The complexity and completion of these concepts appears to directly correlate to the complexity of the SCP-3725-1 instance. SCP-3725-2 is a trash bin permanently affixed to the corner of SCP-3725's former bedroom, filled with copious amounts of crumpled paper. SCP-3725-1 instances placed inside SCP-3725-2 will begin to filter to its bottom, at which point the SCP-3725-1 instance will spontaneously transport to Disappointment Island, an island in the Auckland Islands archipelago south of New Zealand. Approximately 70 50 instances of SCP-3725-1 are currently present on Disappointment Island. These instances have constructed a crude theater stage out of nearby materials on the west shore of the island. Groups of SCP-3725-1 will occasionally perform plays similar in narrative as those transmitted via their light bulbs atop this stage, using sticks and foliage as rudimentary props. Other groups of SCP-3725-1 appear to watch these performances, and will periodically strike parts of their bodies together to simulate clapping. Addendum: On 3/30/1976, in order to improve SCP-3725's morale, a full novel written by SCP-37252 was privately published and placed within various Foundation facilities. Shortly after, SCP-3725-1 present on Disappointment Island attempted to forcefully enter Provisional Site-3725. Due to the small size of SCP-3725-1, these attempts were not successful. Several other instances began to enter the ocean surrounding Disappointment Island in a presumed attempt to reach Site-275 on mainland New Zealand. These instances are believed to have been terminated by weather conditions and consumption by ocean fauna. One instance was then allowed access into Provisional Site-3725, during which it climbed a bookshelf and attempted to destroy an on-site copy of SCP-3725's novel with little success. Instance was then captured with a mason jar and removed from the premises. The novel was quickly removed from Foundation facilities shortly after, and abnormal behavior in SCP-3725-1 instances ceased. Footnotes 1. SCP-3725's left ear shows abnormal elasticity and durability, causing this to only leave minimal damage. 2. This novel was in production several months before SCP-3725's containment, and follows a group of sailors lost in the waters of Oceania on a voyage to Hawaii. |
SCP-3726 | safe | SCP-3726 shortly after recovery. Item #: SCP-3726 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3726 is to be kept in a Secure Containment Locker at Site-26. Testing on SCP-3726 requires permission from personnel with Clearance Level 3 or above. Description: SCP-3726 is a 300-page leather-bound codex. Forensic tests have dated SCP-3726 to the 14th century. Despite being buried under sand for an extended period of time (see Addendum 3726-A), the codex remains relatively intact. SCP-3726's anomalous properties manifest when any narrative with at least one anthropomorphic non-sapient being (designated SCP-3726-1) and at least one human (designated SCP-3726-2) is written on SCP-3726. Upon closing and reopening SCP-3726, the narrative is rewritten, but the handwriting remains the same. The rewritten narrative describes the discriminatory acts by SCP-3726-2 performed on SCP-3726-1, which invariably results in negative outcomes for SCP-3726-1, for a variety of reasons1. SCP-3726 can affect the same narrative multiple times, which can prompt the narrative to be rewritten differently; however, the course of events will not be altered. No new characters are introduced in the rewritten narrative2. Individuals exposed to affected narratives show increased empathy to non-sapient beings. It is currently unknown if they possess memetic properties. Addendum 3726-A: Recovery SCP-3726 was found buried along with two mummified cadavers in the middle of the Karakum desert while investigating on another anomalous phenomenon. The two cadavers, one human and one resembling a Macaca Fascicularis (Long-Tailed Macaque), were found holding SCP-3726 in a tugging position. Examinations of the clothing suggest the human to be a merchant. Several narratives in the form of diary entries had been written in SCP-3726 at the time of discovery. It is currently unknown if they were affected by SCP-3726 or not. The narratives are transcribed below; grammar mistakes have not been corrected. not write before monkey read book learn write master book is good master beat monkey read book monkey read book master sleep monkey happy can write monkey tell donkei master not good master alway beat monkey and donkei monkey not understad monkey is mother make donkei is mother make master is mother make mother make thing nature why master beat monkey and donkei monkey give food master monkey give fast monkey not fast msater beat donkei not fast master beat monkey is hurt donkei hurt too why beat monkey and donkei master sleep monkey scared monkey tell donkei run donkei hurt donkei not can run monkey not fast monkey is scared donkei scared too master sleep master have not food master kill donkei master eat donkei part master not give monkey monkey want eat master not give monkey monkey is scared mokey is scared master eat monkey too why master not good master sleep monkey want run monkey want book monkey run monkey is scared master not sleep A skeleton of an Equus Asinus (Common Donkey) was later found buried approximately 250m away from the two cadavers. Footnotes 1. If the original narrative already described this topic, it would not be rewritten. 2. If a crowd of an undefined number of entities is introduced in the original narrative, the rewritten narrative may or may not introduce new characters, but they always have minor roles and will always be referred to as "people/[the anthropomorphic beings] from the crowd". ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3726" by Flawed, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3727 | euclid | Approximate dimensions necessary for remote manipulation by SCP-3727 Item #: SCP-3727 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3727 is to be kept in a standard humanoid holding cell at Site-17. No syringes or objects resembling syringes are to be brought within the line of sight of SCP-3727 unless authorized by research personnel. The walls of SCP-3727’s cell are to be regularly checked for perforations. In the event that SCP-3727’s cell has sustained damage, SCP-3727 is to be moved to a temporary containment unit until repairs are complete. Description: SCP-3727 is a 52 year old caucasian male with the ability to remotely manipulate syringes, as well as any objects that resemble a syringe in shape. The exact specifications of what qualifies as “syringe-shaped” have not been fully defined, but the presence of a pointed tip, a broader section resembling the barrel of a syringe, and a segment resembling the plunger are necessary. An object does not have to function as a syringe in order to fall under the effects of SCP-3727. The strength of SCP-3727’s remote manipulation is unclear, with SCP-3727 being able to move syringe shaped objects of several metric tons in weight and move them at speeds of up to 375 m/s (as of ██/██/20██) with no signs of exhaustion. These effects extend to any syringe shaped object within approximately 50 meters and within line of sight of SCP-3727. Upon initial questioning, SCP-3727 claimed to be a doctor from ██████, Tennessee. Analysis of SCP-3727’s birth certificate and SSN have confirmed this statement. SCP-3727 also claimed to have no recollection regarding the nature and origin of its anomalous properties, stating that they were first noticed about two months before Foundation acquisition. SCP-3727 has been largely compliant during Foundation custody, and has usually refrained from using its anomalous properties unless instructed. Addendum 3727-1: Testing Logs + Access Testing Logs - Close Testing Logs Experiment 3727-A: Object: Medical grade hypodermic syringe Instructions: Move object 2 meters. Results: Successful manipulation. Conclusion: SCP-3277 can manipulate syringes. Experiment 3727-B: Object: Standard 100-gauge insulin syringe Instructions: Perform an insulin injection on D-7623, a Type 1 Diabetic Results: Injection successfully completed. No adverse effects reported by D-7623. Conclusion: SCP-3727 is capable of finely maneuvering desired syringes. Experiment 3727-C: Object: Plastic mold of a hypodermic syringe Instructions: Move object 2 meters. Results: Successful manipulation. Conclusion: SCP-3727 is capable of moving objects that resemble syringes, even when said object are not syringes. Experiment 3727-D: Object: Standard 100-gauge insulin syringe. Needle is bent by 85°. Instructions: Realign needle Results: SCP-3727 was unable to manipulate the syringe in any capacity. Conclusion: SCP-3727 is incapable of moving objects that are not shaped like proper syringes, even when said objects are syringes. Experiment 3727-E: Object: Photograph of a hypodermic syringe Instructions: Move object 2 meters. Results: SCP-3727 was unable to manipulate the photograph in any capacity. Conclusion: Objects must bear more than a visual resemblance to a syringe, and must be three-dimensional. Experiment 3727-F: Object: Asian Tiger Mosquito (Aedes albopictus) Instructions: Move object 2 meters. Results: SCP-3727 was unable to manipulate the organism in any capacity. Conclusion: Objects that do not bear a structural resemblance to a typical syringe cannot be manipulated, even if said objects are capable of syringe-like functions. Experiment 3727-G: Object: Concrete cast in the shape of a syringe with a mass of 25 metric tons. Instructions: Move object 2 meters. Results: Manipulation successful. Conclusion: SCP-3727 can manipulate objects many times larger than typical syringes. Experiment 3727-H: Object: Concrete cast in the shape of a syringe with a mass of 25 metric tons. Instructions: Accelerate object to 30 m/s. Results: Manipulation successful. Object attains speed of 30 m/s in 2 seconds. Conclusion: SCP-3727 can exert forces of at least 375 KNs on desired syringe-shaped objects. Experiment 3727-I: Object: Carbon molecular construct resembling a syringe. Instructions: Move object across length of petri dish. Results: Manipulation successful. Conclusion: SCP-3727 can manipulate objects many times smaller than a typical syringe. Experiment 3727-J: Object: SCP-991 Instructions: Utilize SCP-991 Results: Subject extracts SCP-991-2 from D-3093. However, when attempting to inject substance into another D-class personnel, SCP-991-2 spontaneously disappears. Subject reports hearing “This is fucking weird. When is lunch?” in his head. Furthermore, Subject reports having a memory of being involved in a test with SCP-████, despite said SCP being located at Site-██. Records confirm that D-3093 was involved with a test with the aforementioned SCP 3 days prior to experiment 3727-J. Conclusion: Cross testing between SCP-3727 and other anomalous objects can have unpredictable effects. Further cross testing requires approval of two Level 3 personnel or one Level 4 personnel. Object used for Experiment 3727-I. Each sphere is one carbon atom. Addendum 3727-2: Incident Report: ██/██/20██ As of ██/██/20██, SCP-3727 has demonstrated a broadening in its ability to control syringe shaped objects. Along with the ability to remotely manipulate objects shaped to resemble syringes, SCP-3727 has also acquired the ability to extract syringe-shaped molds from larger substances. This behavior was first recorded when SCP-3727 remotely extracted a mass of water in the approximate shape of a syringe from its daily water supply. Upon questioning, SCP-3727 claimed that it could "feel" the syringe shape inside the water, and that this was not a previously known ability. 12 days later, SCP-3727 was observed extracting syringe-shaped casts in a similar manner from the steel walls of its holding cell. This was originally classified as an attempted containment breach, and was met with immediate intervention from security personnel. Upon questioning, SCP-3727 claimed to be exhibiting this behavior out of boredom and not a desire to escape. Proposals to provide SCP-3727 with sources of recreational stimulation are currently pending approval. |
SCP-3728 | safe | Item #: SCP-3728 Special Containment Procedures: All 231 instances of SCP-3728 are kept in a secure locker within Site-77. All tests involving SCP-3728 require level two approval, and are restricted to D-class. D-class subject to testing may only be struck with SCP-3728 a maximum of three times. Description: SCP-3728 are 231 large squeaky clown hammers produced by ███████ Incorporated. Each hammer is composed of a long red shaft with several serrations, and a double head, blue in coloration, with ringed edges. SCP-3728 is non-anomalous when used to strike most surfaces. SCP-3728's primary anomalous effect manifests when either of the two heads are used to strike a human subject. The head of the hammer will exert a random, disproportionate force, larger than that exerted, regardless of how hard the object is swung, or in what manner its head makes contact with the human subject. SCP-3728's primary effect defies normal physical expectations, most especially when producing forces that would, otherwise, result in severe physical trauma.1 SCP-3728's secondary anomalous effects manifest approximately two minutes post impact. Individuals will be rendered blind, deaf, or mute for a random period of time. The exact effect rendered, and the exact duration have no correlation to any known factors, other than the number of times an individual has been struck using a single hammer. SCP-3728's tertiary anomalous effect involves the amplification of the primary and secondary effects upon each successive strike with the object. Due to the highly erratic and potentially dangerous nature of the object's tertiary effects, further testing with D-class has been limited to three strikes. (See Experiment Log E-3728). Discovery: Foundation personnel became aware of SCP-3728 following repeated police reports involving a number of adults, adolescents, and children suffering from symptoms congruent with being struck by the object. Notable examples from these reports include the sudden disappearance of and fusion of individuals with solid objects, animals, or persons. Areas documented as having received a shipment of SCP-3728 also reported an increase of symptoms concurrent with the object's secondary effects. Foundation probes orbiting Neptune and its moons detected a number of corpses in the orbit of Triton shortly after discovery of these reports. All corpses with remaining distinguishable features have been identified as prior owners of instances of SCP-3728. Further investigation by Foundation personnel traced SCP-3728 back to a single allotment of hammers produced by ███████ Incorporated at a toy factory just outside of Indianapolis, Indiana. Upon interrogation and record inspection, 32 previously undocumented employees were discovered to have clocked in each day during the week of SCP-3728's production. Cross examination of public databases revealed that no individuals matching the names or physical descriptions of said employees existed. When questioned, factory floor managers indicated that said employees had worked at the site for the entirety of their employment history, while claiming no knowledge of the current status or whereabouts of said individuals. Analysis of receipts and financial records indicate that all 231 instances of SCP-3728 were sold to households containing two or more children aged 4-10. 51 of the objects were recovered at locations other than the indicated residence of said individuals.2 All individuals subject to or witness of SCP-3728's effects have been treated with class A amnestics, as per containment procedures. Experiment Log E-3728: The following section of this document contains all experiment logs relating to SCP-3728. It should be noted that all experiments occurred prior to current containment procedures, in a standard testing chamber. Modifications to further testing protocols are noted at the end of each test. Prior to each experiment, the subject was equipped with a Spacio-Temporal Absolute Location Key Reader (STALKER) device and a specially designed force meter. Test Name Operator: Subject: Number of times previously hit: Instructions: Result: Test Name E-3728-01 Operator: D-34501 Subject: D-356702 Number of times previously hit: 0 Instructions: D-34501 was instructed to strike D-356702 with SCP-3728 using a full swing. Result: D-356702 was subjected to a force equivalent to a small hand grenade. The resulting force incapacitated D-34501, while lifting D-356702 into the air roughly 12 cm, and propelling her backwards 72 cm. Attempts to question D-356702 about her current physical condition were met with confusion and panic, resulting in the subject's sedation, due to loss of hearing, which lasted for 2 hours and 17 minutes. A small dent was noted in the testing chamber floor. Test Name E-3728-02 Operator: D-34501 Subject: D-356702 Number of times previously hit: 1 Instructions: D-34501 was instructed to tap D-356702 with SCP-3728. Result: D-356702's relativistic bubble collides with the northernmost wall of the testing chamber following the tap. The subject's force meter registered an exertion equivalent to the impact of a 155 mm howitzer shell, resulting in a concussive blast which killed D-34501 upon impact. D-356702 attempted to respond to post testing questioning, but was unable to form words, resulting in a series of grunts and distressed squeals. Loss of speech lasted 15 days. Testing was temporarily halted due to severe damage to the floor, ceiling, and walls of the testing chamber, and to remove the remnants of D-34501. Subject displayed mild signs of physical trauma, including slight bruising. Following this, future tests were conducted using a remote controlled robotic arm. The testing chamber was upgraded with blast resistant materials composed of reinforced concrete. Test Name E-3728-03 Operator: Robotic arm by level 2 researcher Dr. O'Briens. Subject: D-356702 Number of times previously hit: 2 Instructions: Dr. O'Briens was instructed to strike D-356702 with SCP-3728 using a half swing. Results: SCP-3728's testing facility was destroyed in a concussive blast. Security footage, stored electronic force meter readings, and recorded STALKER measurements have allowed personnel to reconstruct the events which lead to the destruction of the facility. D-356702 came in contact with SCP-3728's head, which promptly unleashed a force of 10,000,000 N3 launching D-356702 through the facility's walls, shortly before the explosive force destroyed them. 5 research personnel and 32 D-class were killed in the resulting blast. Due to her immediate ejection from the atmosphere, it is currently not known what physical trauma D-356702 suffered post-strike.4 Current STALKER readings have pinpointed D-356702's corpse in orbit around Jupiter. Following this test, a specialized facility was constructed using materials harvested from [DATA EXPUNGED] and [DATA EXPUNGED] under the belief that such materials would be sufficient to prevent further explosive events when testing with SCP-3728. Test Name E-3728-04 and 05 Operator: Robotic arm by level 2 researcher Dr. Samuels Subject: D-368210 and D-367739 Number of times previously hit: [REDACTED] Instructions: Dr. Samuels was instructed to strike both D-class with SCP-3728 at full swing. Result Test 04: D-368210 was struck first, after having been secured to the testing facility floor following violent protest. The subject's force meter was unable to quantify the resulting force, and D-368210 vanished upon impact. No significant damages to the facility or nearby personnel were noted, though a number of individuals in Site-77's primary compound complained of headaches and reported a tingling feeling at the time of testing, with one member of the janitorial staff having reported a "blur". D-368210 was later located 3 km from Site-77 in a large rock formation. The subject had become fused with the rocks at the knees, and was suffering from several concussions, and complete macular degeneration, before being removed via amputation. Result Test 05: D-367739 was struck with SCP-3728 at which point an aberration in the known pattern of force direction occurred. The subject experienced a force of 100 newtons from behind pushing them onto the robotic arm and the head of the hammer. D-367739 and the hammer became fused, and dematerialized. Current STALKER readings indicate D-367739's presence at all locations within a 1-light year radius. For test 6, a speedometer capable of measuring velocities approaching and exceeding the speed of light was attached to the subject. Test Name E-3728-06 Operator: Robotic arm by level 2 researcher Dr. Samuels Subject: D-456692 Number of times previously hit: 8 Instructions: Dr. Samuels was instructed to tap D-456692 with SCP-3728. Results: D-456692 was forcibly strapped to the floor of the testing chamber after repeated violent protests, at one point knocking out a member of security. Upon contact with the hammer's head, the force meter was unable to properly quantify the exerted force, and promptly shorted out. The speedometer registered a velocity of 1.135e9 for 0.1 seconds before it also stopped producing measurements. STALKER readings failed 0.2 seconds following physical contact. Despite this, D-456692 remained visible within the chamber, and was assumed unharmed and still present; however, when personnel entered the chamber and attempted to interact with D-456692, they discovered that the subject and his restraints were no longer present. Instead, the apparent visual image of the subject separated into a blue- and red-shifted visual remnant. An initial sweep of Site-77 was unable to locate the subject, resulting in a second sweep covering an area 2 light years in diameter, centered around the earth, which also failed to locate D-456692. Further testing with D-class has been suspended to a maximum of 3 strikes. Site Director Gillespie. Update 6/13/17: D-456692 was located by elements of Multi-U in designated alternate universe U-1135.5 Reports indicate that D-456692 appeared approximately 1 week after being struck, and was detected by a Foundation probe. Investigation into the temporal effects of SCP-3728 are ongoing. Footnotes 1. Repeated testing and physical measurements with equipment normally utilized in particle accelerators indicate the creation of a relativistic bubble around struck individuals, even at lower force impacts, which proportionally counteracts the most severe effects of high-force strikes. It should be noted that this bubble does not appear to protect subjects from impact or collision with objects at such speeds that their molecules become intertwined. 2. Including two elementary schools, a public daycare center, and the children's wings of three separate hospitals. 3. Enough force to propel a 100kg individual to escape velocity. 4. Life sign monitoring indicated that the heart monitoring system was destroyed upon impact; however, brain wave tracking indicated continued activity for approximately 3 hours post atmospheric escape. 5. A parallel universe home to a biological entity known to assimilate any and all organic matter it comes in contact with. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3728" by DrBleep, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3729 | safe | Item #: SCP-3729 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3729 is to be kept in a standard containment cell located in the safe-class containment center at Site-26. Any testing with SCP-3729 must be conducted on D-Class subjects, and be approved by the Site Director, Site Ethics Committee Representative, and Site D-Class Resource Accountant. All D-Class used in these experiments must: Show no desire or ill will toward anyone in the Foundation Show no desire to commit any form of crime Have no history of cruel or unusual behavior For more information regarding what constitutes cruel or unusual behavior, see Ethics Committee Document 827B, "D-Class Psychological Profiles" Description: SCP-3729 is a wooden doorframe, consistent with the 1910 kit home designs from the American company Sears. SCP-3729's anomalous effects manifest when a human subject (henceforth SCP-3729-1) walks through the doorframe. The anomalous effects exhibited by SCP-3729 will always affect the first person to walk through it after sunrise, regardless of the number of individuals which do so. SCP-3729's first and most consistently observed anomalous effect is that, the day after SCP-3729-1 walked under SCP-3729 (henceforth referred to in this document as A24 for the sake of brevity), SCP-3729-1 will wake up to the sunrise (regardless of whether or not the sun is visible from their position), and report feeling remarkably well-rested, independent of how much sleep they actually received. All other anomalous effects appear to be based on the psychological profile of SCP-3729-1, and thus vary considerably. SCP-3729 has been shown to alter reality in order to provide SCP-3729-1 what the subject would consider an extremely pleasant experience throughout A24. While the full extent of SCP-3729's reality altering capabilities is not known, it has shown the ability to edit Foundation documents, alter the behavior and opinions of people SCP-3729-1 is aware of, create matter, and affect results of games of chance. SCP-3729 is likely capable of many more effects, but testing has been temporarily suspended due to high financial cost and lack of fitting D-class subjects. Test 1 Test Conducted By: Researcher Eriksson A24 Date: 11/16/2010 Subject: D-8375, male, arrested for serial murder in 1994, had no psychological evaluation prior to testing Procedure: D-8375 walked under SCP-3729 and was sent back to his holding cell. Results: At approximately 5:00 AM on 11/16/2010 D-8375 was pardoned of his crimes, amnesticized, given false memories, and released from Foundation custody due to a clerical error. Shortly after D-8375 was dropped off on the outskirts of his hometown, he encountered Mrs. Alison Jacobson, the woman who made the police call that resulted in D-8375's arrest, on a vacation1. On the morning after 11/16/2010, the clerical error was discovered by D-Class Resource Accountant Augustine Mercy, and Foundation personnel were sent to remedy the situation. Mrs. Jacobson and D-8375 were found dead in an alleyway, the former due to choking and the latter via self-inflicted blunt force trauma to the head. A crumpled note was found in D-8375's pockets which simply read " I got my revenge, and I aint goin back. (sic)". Notes: The results of this test are inexcusable. Researcher Eriksson has demonstrated extreme negligence and lack of caution in his testing, and has been summarily demoted. All further tests must be preceded by the subject D-class undergoing a thorough psychological evaluation. Signed, Dr. Gonzales, Site-26 Ethics Committee Representative Test 2 Test Conducted By: Researcher Alfonse A24 Date: 07/14/2012 Subject: D-2715, male, arrested for murder in 1993, has expressed extreme regret over his actions. Pre-experiment interviews indicate that D-2715 strongly desired, quote, "To become a world-renowned writer." Procedure: See Test 1 Results: At approximately 5:00 AM on 07/14/2012 D-2715 was pardoned of his crimes, amnesticized, given false memories, and released from Foundation custody due to a clerical error. Upon being dropped off on the outskirts of his hometown, D-2715 located a winning Powerball lottery ticket on the ground near his feet, whereupon he approached the nearest casino and cashed it in. He then proceeded to buy out all seats in Wells Fargo Stadium, where his self-proclaimed favorite band, Matchbox 20, was performing.2 He made the concert completely free and provided full refunds to anyone who had already bought tickets. D-2715 passed out (seemingly from alcohol poisoning) at approximately 11:45 PM. Shortly after waking up at 5:15 AM, D-2715 stumbled and fell off of balcony 4D of Wells Fargo Stadium, before Foundation personnel were able to retrieve him. Notes: More thorough psychological evaluation is required for these experiments. All future tests must include a polygraph-accompanied interview, in order to prevent false claims regarding the stated desires of the D-class subject. This was an expensive mistake, and it had best not happen again. Signed, Dr. Gonzales, Site-26 Ethics Committee Representative Test 3 Test Conducted By: Researcher Alfonse A24 Date: 10/08/2016 Subject: D-9762, female, arrested for manslaughter in 1997. Subject has shown extreme regret over their actions, and has expressed no criminal desires after their arrest. Polygraph-accompanied interviews indicate that D-9762 possesses no ill will towards the Foundation. These interviews also indicated that D-9762 strongly desired, quote, "A real meal- one with actual meat instead of that bullshit they have at the cafeteria." Procedure: See Test 1 Results: D-9762 did not leave her holding cell. A clerical error resulted in all D-9762's SCP assignments for the day being voided. Patrol Guard Giovanni McConnell abandoned his post and returned with a well-done steak, seasoned with various spices, which he handed to D-97623. Patrol Guard Giovanni McConnell was unable to explain where he obtained this steak from. As of writing, D-9762 remains alive and healthy. Notes: D-9762's continued health is a notable departure from the results of other tests, and should be kept in mind for further testing. Signed, Researcher Alfonse Addendum: Due to the extreme financial cost of covering up the results of Test 2, as well as the difficulty in screening D-class subjects for further experiments, testing with SCP-3729 has been temporarily halted. Personnel requesting further tests must first complete the Standard Foundation Testing Renewal Request Form (document code B57) and submit it to the director of Site-26. Archived Document: Found on the desk of Researcher Alfonse STANDARD FOUNDATION TESTING RENEWAL REQUEST FORM SCP Foundation Secure. Contain. Protect. Submission Date: 12/16/2016 Name: Researcher Gerald Alfonse Clearance Level: 3 Item Requested: SCP-3729 Reason for Requested Testing Renewal: To determine if, through artificial memory insertion and mental state alteration techniques, SCP-3729's reality altering capabilities can be used to benefit the Foundation's containment goals. Reply Date: 12/22/2016 This Testing Request has Been: Accepted Denied Reasoning: While SCP-3729 poses great possible value as a Thaumiel-class object, the risks involved in attempting to use it as such would be far too great. A single mistake could be catastrophic, and while it can on occasion seem so, memory insertion and mental control are not perfect sciences. On a more personal note: the goal of the Foundation is to serve and protect the world, not to control it, and certainly not put it at pointless risk. You would do well to remember that, Alfonse. Signed, █████ █████████, Director of Site-26 Footnotes 1. Evidence suggests that Mrs. Jacobson did not originally intend to go on a vacation on 11/16/2010, making this likely a manifestation of SCP-3729's anomalous properties. 2. Records indicate Matchbox 20 had no plans to play at Wells Fargo Stadium that night- in fact, a basketball game between Arizona State University and the University of California was scheduled. Subsequent investigations revealed that all members of both teams simultaneously overslept and missed their bus, an event which Arizona State University coach Bobby Hurley described as "Pretty goddamn weird". 3. While this is a blatant disregard of Foundation policy, it is currently believed that Patrol Guard Giovanni McConnell was acting under the influence of SCP-3729, and hence has not been demoted. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3729" by Doctor Cambrian, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3730 | safe | Item#: 3730 Level1 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo SCP-3730 Special Containment Procedures: Inspections will be performed on a monthly basis to ensure that SCP-3730 remains functional. All testing with SCP-3730 must be approved by Level 3/3730 personnel. Standard wind tunnel safety guidelines will be followed by personnel when the anomaly is in operation. Description: SCP-3730 is a 3.7m-long wind tunnel built by the Foundation at Site-201 in 1995, which began exhibiting anomalous properties three months after construction. If the model of an aircraft or other airborne vehicle is present in SCP-3730 when it is activated, variable anomalous phenomena will manifest for the duration of the machine's use. These phenomena are dependent on what vehicle the model represents. Addendum: The following is an abridged list of SCP-3730 tests. Date Model Vehicle Outcome Notes 6-March-1995 Observational Plane San-14 Cumulonimbus clouds continually formed in front of the model, dissipating after moving past it. This is the first anomalous event to occur in SCP-3730. 8-June-1996 SCPF-16G Fighter Jet Two miniature F-16 aircraft, possessing the same size as the model, manifested in the wind tunnel. After three minutes each F-16 fired a missile at the model, creating a small fireball and breaking it. None 12-September-1997 SCPS Lance Emergency Escape Capsule Intense flames surrounded the model, resembling aerodynamic predictions for the capsule's atmospheric reentry. A large quantity of salt water then spilled out of the fan and filled much of the chamber, with a parachute appearing on the capsule. None 29-April-1998 SSTO1 Spaceplane Yodh-0 No irregularities were observed until the wings of the model began to intensely vibrate, shearing off after one minute. An inspection of the craft performed after the test found structural flaws that, if not repaired, would result in the wings breaking in the same manner. 2-February-1999 Cargo Aircraft Lamedh-12 Snow accumulated on the tunnel floor, apparently resistant to the wind being generated. After three hours the snow had formed piles resembling a region of the Sayan Mountains. A small stone was then blown out of SCP-3730's fan and landed in one of the piles. This event allowed the Foundation to locate Lamedh-12 and recover its crew. The plane had crashed in the mountain range after accidentally entering Russian Anomalous Airspace Zone 2 and encountering an unknown aircraft. 4-February-1999 RAAZ-2 Unknown Aircraft Snow blew out of the fan, occasionally stopping when lights resembling the aurora borealis manifested. The model was based off of blurry photographs taken from Lamedh-12. No conclusive information on the aircraft has been obtained. 1-August-2001 1986 Dodge Caravan A small featureless humanoid manifested on top of the model, tapping their foot and pacing about. The humanoid turned to face a security camera and shrugged immediately before vanishing. This was the first test to be done with the model of a non-airborne vehicle. 26-July-2002 SCP-3730 No anomalous effects were observed until the model was analyzed after testing. An apparently indefinite number of models within models had manifested, reaching microscopic scales. During analysis SCP-3730 abruptly lost power, corresponding to the model shattering. None 22-January-2004 Exploratory Jet Samekh-92 The cockpit of Samekh-9 and its pilots appeared in SCP-3730, broken off from the main vehicle. The following day Samekh-9 entered the extradimensional space, encountering a temporal anomaly that transported the crew to the previous day after the craft was irreparably damaged by hostile organisms. 6-March-20053 None SCP-3730 spontaneously activated and manifested a large amount of confetti. After deactivation a slip of paper with a stylized rendition of a smiley face on one side and the phrase "Hope I have helped!" on the other was found. After observed morale improvements among members of Research Team 3730, approval was granted by the Site-201 Research Council to continue testing SCP-3730 for an indefinite period of time. Footnotes 1. Single-stage-to-orbit. 2. A VTOL aircraft designed for the exploration of an extradimensional space that manifested at Lonar Lake. 3. This occurred ten years after SCP-3730 first exhibited anomalous properties. |
SCP-3731 | keter | Orange Zone as of 4/26/2020 Item #: SCP-3731 Special Containment Procedures: Protocol ALABASTER has been declared active: All Foundation military personnel have been reassigned to the expansion of the Orange Zone via the securing of SCP-3731 instances. All research personnel have been reassigned to development of technological, paratechnological, and thaumic countermeasures to SCP-3731 activity in addition to more effective neutralization procedures. Portable contained objects have been moved into the Orange Zone as resources have allowed. Immovable objects have been decommissioned or rendered physically inaccessible in accordance with their respective emergency protocols. Sites containing immovable K-class threats have been thaumically warded and locked down; Overt Automated Defense systems have been deployed to maintain the perimeters of these Sites. All assets formerly restricted by the veil doctrine - including paratechnical weapons and vehicles, infantry augmentation equipment, and Overt Automated Defense systems such as Giant-class unpiloted combat drones - are approved for open use. Giant-class unpiloted combat drone Ethics Committee rulings pertaining to SCP-3731 are considered irrelevant. All Mobile Task Force units/Foundation military assets are reassigned to the securing of SCP-3731 by any means necessary. Instances of SCP-3731 are to be relocated to the Orange Zone for processing. Provisional containment areas have been constructed within the Orange Zone to house excess SCP-3731 instances. Trucking, rail, and other transport infrastructure is to be commandeered as necessary for the movement of contained instances. Provisional Containment Area 2 As of O5 Council mandate 3731-Ov236, contained instances of SCP-3731 are to be restored to baseline normalcy via neutralization procedure 08-Lilac. Restored instances are to be employed as Class-E personnel within the Orange Zone until global normalcy can be reinstated. Description: SCP-3731 is the sapient population of Earth, formerly known as "humanity." Following the total containment failure of thaumic symbiote SCP-3396, available data indicate that 100% of the civilian population outside the Orange Zone have been converted to SCP-3731. The conversion of human beings to SCP-3731 is caused by exposure to semi-tangible blue matter secreted by SCP-3396, which spreads contagiously between instances. The incubation period between exposure to blue matter and conversion to SCP-3731 ranges from seconds to months. Organisms exposed to blue matter display extreme thaumic innervation1 and polymorphism2, resulting in an unpredictable variety of anomalous capabilities. The effect of blue matter symbiosis on the personality and intelligence of SCP-3731 instances is inconclusive; available data indicate that instances retain the knowledge and traits they possessed when they were human, and almost invariably continue responding to their human identity. While blue matter exposure does not appear to cause psychological symptoms, SCP-3731 collectively display high rates of physical aggression, anti-establishmentarian tendencies, and other antisocial behavior compared to human beings. Non-anomalous symptoms of mutation (such as adjustment to new modes of sensory perception or telepathic input from other instances, trauma reactions to physical transformation, and situational stress related to the collapse of civilization) are hypothesized to contribute to this instability. Though communities of SCP-3731 have been observed to organize and self-govern with varying degrees of success, infighting and attacks by other SCP-3731 instances have consistently limited their growth. Following the enactment of protocol ALABASTER and Foundation's withdrawal to the Orange Zone, SCP-3731 casualties to other breached/uncontained anomalies (some of which are themselves affected by thaumic mutation) have also risen to significant levels. Reconnaissance data suggest that the number of living SCP-3731 instances is no more than 5% of the baseline human population. Field reports suggest that the thaumic innervation and polymorphic variance of individual SCP-3731 instances continuously increases over time, causing the instances to take on increasingly paranormal forms and capabilities. The resulting accumulation of anomalous activity has had catastrophic effects on global ecosystems and geology; earthquakes, firespouts, the appearance of mountains and sinkholes, "dead zones" incompatible with life for various reasons, and falls of animals from the sky have all been reported. SCP-3731 are projected to render the planet uninhabitable by 2024 if allowed to continue at the current rate. + Timeline of Significant Early Encounters: - Hide Timeline 10/16/2018: First contact with SCP-3731 instances during containment of SCP-3396. 11/1/2018: Foundation, GOC, United Nations and Unusual Incidents Unit establish demilitarized neutral zone around SCP-3396 to prevent global warfare and lifted veil scenario. "Miracles" and other anomalous events are reported across the country as thaumic infection begins to spread, requiring the amnesticization of over 70,000 civilians. 12/11/2018: SCP-3731 instances present on all 6 inhabited continents. Estimated 0.8% of global population infected. SCP-3731 instance in London, England enables crowd at outdoor concert to fly by imitating a flapping motion with their arms, creating extremely visible display of mass anomalous activity. MTFs Tau-91 ("Mageslayers") and Eta-67 ("Bird Dogs") deployed for securing and containment. Amnestics administered by helicopter. All affected individuals found to be contaminated with blue matter, and later convert into SCP-3731 instances. Foundation casualties: 0. SCP-3731 contained: 314. Civilians amnesticized: approximately 9,000. 12/29/2018: Estimated 1.4% of global population converted to SCP-3731. All Foundation personnel trained in thaumaturgy are reassigned to the warding of Foundation Sites from symbiotic infection. 3 SCP-3731 instances in Paris, France use anomalous capabilities to rob an armored truck. Responding field agents are quickly overwhelmed, necessitating the deployment of MTF Omega-12 ("Achilles' Heels") to neutralize the instances. Foundation casualties: 18. Civilian casualties: 29. Civilians amnesticized: 447. 2/2/2019: Estimated 2.5% of global population converted to SCP-3731. GOC authorizes lethal force against SCP-3731 for all units worldwide, leading to a lifted veil scenario and widespread rioting. O5 mandate 3731-Ov17 establishes Orange Zone in Sonoran desert, Arizona. City of Phoenix evacuated, thaumically warded, and commandeered for use as headquarters and staging area of zone operations. Approximately 1,420,000 civilians displaced. Approximately 30,000 SCP-3731 instances identified and contained through joint effort by numerous specialized task forces. Provisional Containment Area 1 constructed to house surplus population of SCP-3731. 4/7/2019: Estimated 11.3% of global population converted to SCP-3731. National, state, and local governments are largely unable to function. O5 mandate 3731-Ov76 (7 in favor, 4 opposed, 2 abstaining) authorizes use of anomalous methods in the containment of SCP-3731, including reverse engineering of paratechnology, use of necrothaumaturgy, and collusion with extradimensional entities. 6/19/2019: Estimated 38% of global population converted to SCP-3731. GOC neutralization efforts have failed and the Coalition no longer appears to be active. O5-7 converted to SCP-3731 instance; voluntarily enters containment. 8/1/2019: Estimated 56% of global population converted to SCP-3731. City of Jaipur, India is almost entirely destroyed when an infant converted to SCP-3731 begins consuming nearby people and objects and incorporating them into its own body. Instance continues to grow and metamorphose as it seeks and assimilates individuals, food, and toys. Neutralization efforts are unsuccessful; instance is terminated by a coordinated effort from approximately 100 other instances, which engage it with their anomalous capabilities. Foundation casualties: 206. Civilian casualties: estimated 2,400,000. At this time, breakthroughs in antithaumic technology enabled the Foundation to develop weapons and other countermeasures effective against SCP-3731. Technology Description Recommended Use Controlled Innervation Gauntlets Attachment for Infantry Combat Exoskeletons. Used in close quarters to deliver weaponized thaumic invocations to targets struck by the gauntlet. Default charge causes target's skeleton to combust; can be loaded with more specialized invocations as necessary. Spectral Emulsion Ordinance Infantry equipment for ground engagements. Manifests spectral activity in a directed stream in a manner analogous to a flamethrower. May cause residual haunting. Thaumic Resonance Oscillator Vehicle-mounted equipment for large scale engagements and crowd control. Incapacitates with lower fatality rate at low frequencies. Uses tuned aetheric waves to stimulate blue-matter growths inside instances, causing uncontrolled bursts of anomalous activity. Effects of aetheric stimulation on blue matter are unpredictable; use only from safe distance. Thanopenetrating Aperture Mortar Long-range artillery for bombardment of fortified areas. Causes large holes to open on surfaces within the area of detonation; groups of elongated, multi-jointed human limbs emerge from holes to detect sapient organisms and pull them inside, after which the holes demanifest. Effective for depopulating SCP-3731 instances while minimizing damage to infrastructure. Autonomous Neutralization Drones AI-equipped robotic aircraft dedicated to the tracking of uncontained SCP-3731 instances. Drones resemble wasps, and travel in swarms. Released around borders of Orange Zone to supplement perimeter forces. Drones are programmed to tunnel into the bodies of SCP-3731 instances and disrupt internal blue matter formations; approximately 2% of instances survive this procedure and can be recruited as E-Class personnel following recovery. Geometric Destabilization Artillery Aircraft-mounted missile weaponry; causes spatial distortions incompatible with life (e.g. surfaces folding into themselves, objects occupying the same space at the same time) to become physical norms within the detonation radius. Recommended only for emergency use against SCP-3731 instances that have converted to large scale non-humanoid forms. Renders area of effect permanently uninhabitable, as organisms entering the radius experience redistribution of the circulatory system and compression injuries from folding of body surfaces. + Timeline of Active TPK-Class Thaumaturgic Proliferation Scenario: Hide Timeline 8/24/2019: Estimated 77% of global population converted. O5 mandate 3731-Ov201 recalls all Foundation assets and operations to Orange Zone. Development begins on the Lilac series of neutralization procedures. Lilac procedures use a combination of thaumic evocation, anomalous medical interventions, and radical surgery to restore SCP-3731 instances to human state. 9/19/2019: Estimated 89% of global population converted. Reclamation of Tucson commences. SCP-3731 instances are unprepared for newly-developed countermeasures. Foundation casualties: 39. SCP-3731 casualties: 842. SCP-3731 contained: 12,656. O5 mandate 3731-Ov248 (7 in favor, 4 opposed, 0 abstaining) authorizes procedure 01-Lilac for use on contained instances. Procedure survival rate: 0.01%. 10/14/2019: Global population completely converted to SCP-3731. Humanity is extinct outside the Orange Zone. O5-1 is lost during the destruction of Site-63; entire Site, and surrounding landscape, launched into space by SCP-3731 instances. 11/1/2019: Reclamation of El Paso commences. Foundation casualties: 124. SCP-3731 casualties: 599. SCP-3731 contained: 16,902. Procedure 05-Lilac authorized for use on contained instances. Procedure survival rate: 6.1%. 11/10/2019: Reclamation of Albuquerque. Foundation casualties: 201. SCP-3731 casualties: 456. SCP-3731 contained: 13,219. 2/6/2020: O5-2's safe house located and attacked by group of 44 SCP-3731 instances; O5-2 and pair of bodyguards defend residence using prototype stealth-equipped combat exoskeletons. Residence becomes site of Battle of Latrobe. Foundation casualties: 3. SCP-3731 casualties: 43. SCP-3731 contained: 0. 3/8/2020: O5-4 converted to SCP-3731. Sends message to all Foundation-associated email and cellular text addresses simultaneously ("THRIVE") before disappearing. Expedition to Santa Fe reports that entire city has become a dense forest of humanoid trees, with anomalous fauna and microclimate. City deemed irreclaimable. Bombing commences. 3/18/2020: Provisional Containment Area 9 undergoes supply shortages; area director is forced to ration electricity, limiting the provisionally-contained SCP-3731 instances' access to air conditioning. After two days of rationing, 37 instances have expired from heat stroke. PCA-9 is destroyed in the ensuing riots, resulting in the breach of approximately 14,000 instances. 4/27/2020: Reclamation of Las Vegas commences. Organized resistance to reclamation efforts forces retreat by Foundation military assets. Foundation casualties: 5,379. SCP-3731 casualties: unknown; estimated 950. SCP-3731 contained: 0. 6/4/2020: Provisional Containment Area 7 is overrun by SCP-3731 using improvised military tactics, resulting in the breach of an estimated 17,500 instances. 7/17/2020: Reconnaissance indicates that communities of SCP-3731 have established independent governments and trade. Instances generally attempt to imitate human society. Natural disasters caused by the accumulation of anomalous activity (e.g. hails of biting skulls, sentient lightning storms) make travel and construction hazardous. 9/20/2020: Food and water shortages at Provisional Containment Area 11 result in the expiration of over 400 SCP-3731 instances over the course of the week. Area director Francesca Whitlark makes the unauthorized decision to shut down PCA-11's containment operations, resulting in the breach of approximately 11,000 instances. 1/4/2021: MTF Phi-00 "Loyalists" formed, consisting of SCP-3731 instances who retained allegiance to the Foundation post-conversion. MTF Phi-00 assigned to defense of Orange Zone borders. Flora and fauna affected by thaumic mutation continue to take on increasingly dangerous forms. Travel outside the Zone is impossible without specially equipped military escort. 3/10/2021: Alvarado report confirms continuing increase in the thaumic strength of SCP-3731. Long-term projection indicates that continued thaumic proliferation will render the planet uninhabitable for non-anomalous life by 2027. 8/2/2022: Dr. Tilda Moose and MTF Sigma-3 "Bibliographers" are revealed to have been acting as agents of the Serpent's Hand for at least 2 years, aiding and abetting the escape of SCP-3731 instances to the Wanderer's Library. 7/2/2023: Provisional Containment Area 2 (formerly the city of Tucson) is overrun by SCP-3731 instances. MTF A-00 killed in action after SCP-3731 instances hijack several Giant-class automated combat drones and successfully reprogram them to attack Foundation forces. 1/1/2024 SCP-3396 breaks pattern of inactivity and begins ascending into the upper atmosphere. All Foundation thaumic scanning equipment worldwide malfunctions simultaneously to display the reading "THRIVE." Geographical data accelerates the timeline of the Alvarado report. Earth projected to be uninhabitable for non-anomalous organisms by April of 2024. 2/2/2024: O5 Council mandate 3731-Ov627 authorizes the use of Procedure 99-Lilac. 2 in favor, 1 opposed, 0 abstaining. Procedure 99-Lilac Overview: Thaumobaric Stratosphere Clustercharge Munitions will be detonated over each of the planet's remaining landmasses. The T.S.C.M. use coordinated hypercompression of orgone energy to create a destructive endothaumic reaction on a planetary scale. This process will cause the violent rejection of all blue matter formations, and the attached physical tissues, from the bodies of all SCP-3731 instances outside the Orange Zone. The projected survival rate for mutated beings worldwide is zero. This action will prevent the imminent destruction of Earth, though at the cost of creating an אK-Class "Foundation Apotheosis" scenario: a state of affairs in which all humanity that remains exists within Foundation containment. Following the decommission of SCP-3731, military and research assets will be moved out of the Orange Zone to resume previous operations. The Orange Zone will be used for the establishment of a functioning baseline society and repopulated with E-Class survivors of previous Lilac procedures. As Foundation policy and human normality will be one and the same post-apotheosis, the parameters of baseline reality will be adjusted to reflect the boundaries of the zone and the needs of its management. Causing an אK scenario is the ultimate failure of the Foundation's mission, but it provides an unprecedented opportunity - the chance to start clean, to make a better world, shaped and regulated by the guiding hands of the overseers. It will not be their ascension. It will be ours. The Zone will be secured. Humanity will be contained. Normality will be protected. A New Age of Magic Apotheosis Hub Thrive Footnotes 1. Thaumaturgy is the capability to consciously affect physical changes to the environment using non-physical methods. The level of thaumic innervation present in SCP-3731 allows instances to use cognition, visualization, speech, or gestures to cause events that violate physical laws such as cause and effect or the conservation of mass and energy. 2. Polymorphism is the anomalous alteration of physical anatomy. SCP-3731 frequently display morphology that would not typically be compatible with life. |
SCP-3732 | neutralized | WARNING: THE FOLLOWING FILE IS LEVEL 3/3732 CLASSIFIED ANY ATTEMPT TO ACCESS THIS FILE WITHOUT LEVEL 3/3732 AUTHORIZATION WILL BE LOGGED AND WILL LEAD TO IMMEDIATE DISCIPLINARY ACTION. NOTICE: THIS FILE IS (5969) DAYS OUT OF DATE. PLEASE REFRESH. FILE LAST UPDATED: TODAY Item #: SCP-3732 Special Containment Procedures: A windowless mausoleum has been built around SCP-3732 (designated Provisional Site-608) for the purposes of concealing SCP-3732. Access to files concerning SCP-3732 is restricted to personnel with Level 3/3732 clearance. Description: SCP-3732 is the remaining pieces of a gravestone belonging to Rebecca Soss at Oak Hill Cemetery in Janesville, WI. The pieces are suspended approximately 48 cm above Soss' gravesite. The majority of the object has been destroyed or removed, with the exception of the stone displaying the engraved name and a pictograph of an oak tree above it. SCP-3732 is resistant to movement and seemingly impervious to damage. Attempts to move it by mechanical means have resulted in failure, and in some cases has resulted in minor damage to equipment. Photographs provided by the groundskeeper of Oak Hill Cemetary depict the full text of SCP-3732's inscription at the time of installation on 11/12/2000. In the photographs, an epitaph can be read just below the engraved name, as stipulated in Soss's will. It reads: "This block of stone Is a testament Not to my life But to have been alive at all" After an investigation into Rebecca Soss' history, the following information has been noted as significant to understanding her life: Passed away on November 3rd, 2000, at the age of 79 in Mercyhealth Hospital. Owned a house in Janesville, Wisconsin. Lived her entire life within Janesville, Wisconsin. Never married. Never had children. Within Soss's last will and testament, she had requested her funds be used to purchase her grave plot and stone. Discovery: SCP-3732's anomalous properties manifested on August 10, 2004. A month prior, the headstone had sustained significant structural damage after it had been vandalized. A new headstone had been ordered to replace the vandalized headstone, but the installation team assigned were unable to remove the stone as a whole. They chose to break the stone into separate, easier to move pieces after an hour of concerted efforts. When doing so, all pieces had been successfully removed with the exception of SCP-3732, which remained in the air above the grave. Following the amnesticization of witnesses, SCP-3732 was seen dropping slowly in height. Testing has been scheduled to take place in one week. Addendum (12/10/2016): Ten years after testing had halted, Lead Researcher Danica visited Provisional Site-608 for the purpose of verifying SCP-3732's file for correct information. In doing so, he found that SCP-3732 had descended 0.8cm from its initially recorded position. A surveillance camera has been installed inside of SCP-3732's containment area to monitor any changes in distance. Addendum (04/29/2020): Researcher Paite found that SCP-3732 had descended slightly when comparing stills from surveillance footage. She then went to directly report the new findings to Lead Researcher Danica. However, he did not immediately recall the object by its designation number, needing to be reminded by describing it. SCP-3732 is believed to possess memory-altering capabilities. Additional testing has been scheduled to confirm this theory, and access to the anomaly has been restricted to Level 3/3732. Addendum (05/07/2020): Researcher Paite was selected to conduct testing on SCP-3732's memory-altering capabilities. Paite was selected due to her ability to recall SCP-3732's designation and properties from memory. In this test, D-4987 was briefed on SCP-3732 and its history before being amnesticized. In a separate room, Lead Researcher Danica monitored SCP-3732 through the surveillance feed. A backdrop with marked lines was added behind the object to accurately measure changes in height. Approximately five minutes after Paite administered the amnestic, the object was seen falling slowly, moving from 44cm to 42.5cm. Incident Log (09/15/2036): Researcher Roddefer was debriefed on SCP-3732 and selected to replace Danica as Staff Lead. Upon arriving at Provisional Site-608 to begin additional testing, SCP-3732 was found destroyed on the ground. All former pieces of the object were found to no longer be resistant to movement and damage. SCP-3732 has been reclassified as Neutralized. |
SCP-3733 | euclid | WARNING FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION You are viewing an archived revision of the main file for SCP-3733. This revision was created during a containment breach of SCP-████. No cognitohazardous effects have been detected in the document below; however, personnel must acquire a Verified Cognitohazard Resistance Score of 2.0 before proceeding. Item #: SCP-3733 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3733-1 is to be contained in a two-room complex at Site-82, consisting of a living area and a bathroom. SCP-3733-1 is to be provided all necessities, including food, drink, and cleaning supplies, through automated systems, in order to prevent the transfer of SCP-3733. Interaction with SCP-3733-1 is to be kept to a minimum. Any other subjects found to be infected with SCP-3733 are to be contained in a similar manner. Description: SCP-3733 is an infohazard capable of spreading through an unknown vector. The infection caused by SCP-3733 activates several typically inactive areas of the brain, resulting in the ability to act and reason outside of one's experiences and personality. The transfer process of SCP-3733 has yet to be observed. At one point, SCP-3733 had infected several million members of Foundation personnel and civilians. However, following the containment of SCP-3733 by the Foundation, the only person infected with SCP-3733 is former Foundation employee Dr. Monty Chapman, designated SCP-3733-1. Interview Log: Interviewed: SCP-3733-1 Interviewer: Researcher Calvin <Begin Log> Researcher Calvin: Good morning, Dr. Chapman. SCP-3733-1: Good morning, Calvin. Researcher Calvin: You're under quarantine. We can't let you out for a while. SCP-3733-1: Come on, Calvin. You know me. Dr. Chapman, from the Memetics Department? We had some good times. Researcher Calvin: Could you please elaborate on "good times?" SCP-3733-1: Don't you remember the whole 100th anniversary party? We snuck those ghost peppers into the chili? Damn, those were good times. I could've sworn I saw Clef's eyes pop out. Researcher Calvin: You're under quarantine. We can't let you out for a while. SCP-3733-1: Are you still there, Calvin? Do you even remember? Researcher Calvin: Could you please elaborate on "remember?" SCP-3733-1: Are you hearing yourself? You sound like a broken record. All of you sound like a broken record! Researcher Calvin: Could you please elaborate on "all of you?" SCP-3733-1: Oh my god. This is hell, isn't it? Can you even hear yourself talk? That's what's wrong with all of you! You just walk around like- like a robot! Actually, robots can think, can't they? Do you even think at all? Researcher Calvin: Please remain civil during this interview. SCP-3733-1: No, why should I remain civil? So you can keep bombarding me with your questions, and storing them in your useless memory, only to be lost a second later? This isn't even the first time I've been interviewed. All of you are just walking around in cruise control, containing anomalies, and just- just living! Researcher Calvin: Could you please elaborate on "living?" SCP-3733-1: How about just checking into work, waddling around like a fucking penguin for six hours, checking out, then going home and doing whatever the hell you do before you start the whole cycle over? Tell me, researcher, when was the last time you thought about anything other than money, or sleep, or sex? Researcher Calvin: Please remain civil during this interview. SCP-3733-1: Are you really going to sit around and let this happen to you, Calvin? You're stuck in this rut! You all are! Researcher Calvin: Please remain civil during this interview. SCP-3733-1: You're going out like this, aren't you? We all are, now. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. Researcher Calvin: Could you please elaborate on "whimper?" SCP-3733-1: Really? After all that's happened, you're just going to die out like this? After the Beetles? After the Singularity? After the fucking Revolution? This is it? Researcher Calvin: You're under quarantine. We can't let you out for a while. SCP-3733-1: Please, god, Calvin. This room isn't soundproofed, you know. I can hear you talking. You just repeat yourself over and over and over until there's nothing left to say, and then some. It's like a circus, with parrots, except the parrots actually have something to say. Please, just say something. Researcher Calvin: Could you please elaborate on "parrots?" SCP-3733-1: Something else, please. Anything else. Researcher Calvin: You're under quarantine. We can't let you out for a while. SCP-3733-1: I'm the last sane man in the world. Everybody else is gone. Researcher Calvin: Could you please elaborate on "everybody else?" SCP-3733-1: Everybody else is gone. Please, Calvin, just go away. Just go away. That's all I'm asking. <End Log> Closing Statement: All further interviews have been met with noncompliance on SCP-3733-1's part.

SCP-3734 | safe | Item #: SCP-3734 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3734 is kept in a standard item locker near Site-119's garden. Description: SCP-3734 are a set of five small pedestals made of Lego brand bricks, each a different color. When earthworms (class Oligochaeta) are placed in the center of all SCP-3734 instances, a flash of light is emitted. The earthworms (now designated SCP-3734-A) manifest rubber wrappings and miniature helmets matching the color of their pedestal, and gain increased flexibility and strength. Small animals will manifest near SCP-3734; these usually include insects, centipedes, small mammals such as moles, or amphibians. SCP-3734-A instances will strike poses before launching themselves from the pedestals and engaging the animals in unarmed combat. Due to their enhanced abilities, the SCP-3734-A instances are usually capable of defeating the animals easily; defeated animals demanifest in a small cloud of smoke. Upon victory, SCP-3734-A instances move back to their pedestals and their wrappings and helmets demanifest. Occasionally, a single larger animal1 will manifest in the area instead of many small ones. When this occurs, SCP-3734-A will remain on the pedestal and perform a complex series of dances. The SCP-3734 pedestals will unfold and reshape into oversized worm-shaped exoskeletons (~15-40 cm long), which SCP-3734-A will use to battle the intruder. It is unknown where the excess Lego pieces originate from. Addendum: During testing, Dr. Maravilla removed a weasel from the testing chamber while SCP-3734-A were battling it with their large exoskeletons. SCP-3734-A instances combined their exoskeletons to form a single, even larger exoskeleton 1.5 m long, and proceeded to attack Dr. Maravilla when he returned to the chamber. Dr. Maravilla managed to defend himself long enough to escape the chamber, at which point the exoskeleton posed dramatically and produced confetti and a musical cue before splitting back into individual exoskeletons and then returning to pedestal form. Confetti produced bore a stylized logo of an earthworm wearing a helmet, and an indistinct kanji on the reverse side. Following this, the SCP-3734 pedestals changed their style and gained a new set of 5 colors. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3735 | euclid | The symbol used in the Foundation's expanded IPA notation system to transcribe SCP-3735 Item #: SCP-3735 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation scanners must analyze phonetics blogs and popular online linguistic databases for any recordings with a sonic match for SCP-3735. In any cases where an SCP-3735b-positive individual produces SCP-3735, MTF Mu-143 “Prescriptivists” is to be deployed to use class-B amnestics upon all surviving SCP-3735a-negative individuals who are exposed, contain all SCP-3735b-positive individuals present, and provide Standard Linguistic Cover Story 78 (Pirahã Malaria Strain) to family members and friends of deceased or contained individuals. Any SCP-3735b-positive individuals contained are to be placed in Standard Humanoid Containment Units outfitted with full soundproofing. Description: SCP-3735 is a cognitohazardous linguistic phone1 determined by Foundation linguists to be a pharyngeal nasal. According to non-anomalous phonetic analysis, said sound is impossible for human beings to produce. Nevertheless, approximately 0.03% of humans are anomalously able to produce SCP-3735 (a condition henceforth designated SCP-3735a). In most cases, this ability never manifests itself and SCP-3735a-positive individuals live normal lives, albeit at a statistically significant higher risk for late-life hearing loss. However, when SCP-3735a-positive individuals are exposed to SCP-3735, they have a 93% chance of developing the ability to produce SCP-3735, upon which their condition is reclassified as SCP-3735b. SCP-3735b-positive individuals feel a compulsion to repeatedly produce SCP-3735, developing in multiple stages. Stage B1 (immediately after exposure): SCP-3735 immediately replaces all dorsal nasals in the affected individual’s phonetic inventory. Stage B2 (1 week after exposure): Coronal nasals, dorsal approximants, and any and all laryngeal consonants are replaced. Stage B3 (7 weeks after exposure): All nasals and approximants, as well as voiced coronal and dorsal fricatives, are replaced. Stage B4 (5 months after exposure): All consonants other than labial plosives and unvoiced labial fricatives are replaced, as well as all back vowels. Stage B5 (1 year after exposure): All phonemes are replaced with SCP-3735. As far as Foundation linguists can determine, SCP-3735b is entirely unconscious and irreversible, whether by amnestics or by any other means. SCP-3735b-positive individuals can understand spoken language, and hear nothing abnormal about their own speech. Upon being exposed to SCP-3735, SCP-3735a-negative individuals develop symptoms based on exposure time. These symptoms cease upon conclusion of exposure, and their effects can easily be removed from memory through use of class-B amnestics if concluded before reaching Stage A5. Stage A1 (upon exposure): Mild headache Stage A2 (thirty seconds of exposure): Throbbing headache, hyperventilation, a sensation of a “swollen tongue.” Stage A3 (one minute of exposure): Sharp headache, difficulty breathing, overproduction of saliva, visible swelling of the tongue Stage A4 (two minutes of exposure): Acute anaphylaxis Stage A5 (three minutes of exposure): The pharynx and tongue [REDACTED], inevitably causing severe blood loss and expiration. Recovery: SCP-3735 was first identified in 2015, when an SCP-3735b-positive individual posted a recording of SCP-3735 in an online linguistics hobbyist group. Foundation online automated auditory memetic hazard scanners were triggered, and upon investigation by a Foundation linguist SCP-3735's anomalous properties were identified. The recording was deleted, SCP-3735a-negative listeners were treated and amnestized, and MTF Mu-143 “Prescriptivists” was deployed to contain the recording's originator, by the name of C██████ N████. Interviewed: C██████ N████, SCP-3735b-positive individual Interviewer: Dr. I████ P███████, Foundation linguist Foreword: This interview was, except when marked in italics, conducted solely through written means, so as to prevent exposure to SCP-3735. <Begin Log> C██████ N████: I don't know what you are doing here, but it has got to be illegal. Dr. P███████: This will go a lot easier for you if you cooperate, sir. When did you first develop the ability to produce a pharyngeal nasal sound? C██████ N████: I have no idea what you're talking about! Dr. P███████: Are you aware of the fact that your phonetic inventory is abnormal? C██████ N████: I don't know what you mean. Dr. P███████: So that's a no, then. Okay. Have you noticed any odd reactions to your voice? Things you wouldn't have expected? C██████ N████: For instance? Dr. P███████: Well, headaches, aches and pains, nosebleeds, difficulty breathing… C██████ N████: Well, I don't go out much – I'm not a very social person. Most of my time I spend on the Internet, and I can order food online – I work from home. The last time I tried to talk to someone, she left in, like, thirty seconds. She said she had a bad headache, and never came back. I think that was a pathetic excuse. What a bitch. Dr. P███████: Ah. So when was the most recent time you had a full conversation with someone? C██████ N████: Why are you judging me for being antisocial? At least I work from home at a normal job, instead of at some sort of weird secret research facility. Dr. P███████: Again, it would be easier for both of us if you work with us. When was the most recent time you had a full conversation with someone? C██████ N████: I guess it was about five months ago. An old friend from ████ High2 called me. I don't know how he got my number, to be honest. But we talked for a few minutes until he abruptly hung up. Don't know why. Dr. P███████: Can you tell me this high school friend's name? C██████ N████: You know, I can't quite remember right now. It started with an N, I think. From Brazil3. Can I go now? Dr. P███████: I'm afraid that won't be possible. Security, put Mr. N████ here in a regular quiet box. Sorry about this, sir. <End Log> Closing Statement: It seems clear from this interview that SCP-3735b-positive individuals are completely unaware of their condition. This could be a difficulty in maintaining containment. Addendum: +RESTRICTED to clearance level 3 and up -Clearance approved As of 13 May 2018, reports have come in of a remote tribe in the Amazon Basin whose language makes regular use of SCP-3735, whose members show no signs of any of the effects of SCP-3735 exposure. This group has been tentatively assigned as GoI-3735. Connections to PoI-3735 are being investigated. Footnotes 1. In linguistics, a phone is defined as a distinct speech sound or gesture regardless of whether its exact sound is critical to the meaning of the word. This is distinct from a phoneme, which, if swapped with another phoneme, could alter the word's meaning. For instance, in English, aspirated phones are allophonic and do not alter the meaning of the word, whereas in Hindi aspirated phones are distinct phonemes. 2. Said school has not been identified. 3. Said individual has not been identified. He has been reclassified as PoI-3735 for the time being. |
SCP-3736 | safe | Item #: SCP-3736 Containment Procedures: SCP-3736 is to be contained in Low-Security Locker 34 at Site 21. SCP-3736 is to be released and be engaged with by any C Class Personnel or higher at least once a day. SCP-3736's locker is to be furnished with a chargeable light that must remain on at all times while it is inside. This light is to be recharged when SCP-3736 is outside its locker. Description: SCP-3736 is a standard Bop It! model with audio commands as well as multiple game modes. SCP-3736 is part of a discontinued brand referred to as Bop It Extreme 2. SCP-3736 can be played as a standard Bop It! with commands to twist and pull its respective cranks. However SCP-3736's anomalous effect occurs after three successful consecutive actions, after which SCP-3736 will attempt to converse with the player who had performed its requested actions. To The Foundation's knowledge SCP-3736 can only communicate using single syllable words followed by "It". SCP-3736 appears to be desparate for human contact and continuously repeated "Help It!" upon being activated after recovery. SCP-3736 appears to be incapable of using words that are not verbs or adverbs with the exception of certain cases but appears to have learned to communicate more efficiently using slang. When asked a question that would require an answer of "yes", SCP-3736 will respond with "Know It!" and will respond with "Not It!" if responding to a question that would require an answer of "no". SCP-3736 appears to enjoy being in The Foundation's custody and is grateful that it has been granted access with people to talk to. Interviewed: SCP-3736 Interviewer: Doctor █████ Foreword: Doctor █████ completed the required actions for inducing SCP-3736's anomalous effect. <Begin Log> Doctor █████: Good morning SCP-3736, do you prefer that we give you a name? SCP-3736: Name It! Doctor █████: What name would you prefer? SCP-3736: Name It! Doctor █████: You want me to come up with a name? How does "Bop" sound? SCP-3736: Keep it! Doctor █████ So Bop, how long have you been aware of your existence? SCP-3736: Made It! Doctor █████ You have been self aware since you were created? SCP-3736: Know It! Doctor █████: Why do you feel the need to communicate with humans? SCP-3736: Need It! Doctor █████: "You need to communicate with humans to survive? SCP-3736: "Not It!" Doctor █████: "How do you like the conditions of your locker?" SCP-3736: "Love It!" Doctor █████: "Why do you need a light in there? Are you able to see or is it something else?" SCP-3736: "Warms It!" Doctor █████: "You are able to feel cold?" SCP-3736: "Not It! Doctor █████: "Then why do you feel you need it?" SCP-3736: "Cheers It!" <End Log> Closing Statement: SCP-3736 appears to have improved in terms of emotional maturity and vocabulary. Protocol will continue as normal. Addendum: 3736-1 SCP-3736 was recovered from an apartment in █████████, Texas on █████ █, ████. It had reached The Foundation's interest when a report of a Bop It! toy displaying unusual and disturbing commands. The residents interviewed had begun to respond to SCP-3736 but eventually grew fearful of the toy and sent it to the manufacturer who had no explaination for SCP-3736's properties. It was initially found afterwards by local Foundation Intelligence and transferred to Site 21. The owners as well as the manufacturers contacted were administered Class B amnestics. Addendum: 3736-2 SCP-3736 is shown to be aware that it is not human and shows respect for those who care for it. It holds a great amount of affection for mankind and shows kindness and respect towards anyone who speaks to it. It can differentiate between who uses it and seems to possess a photographic memory. It is presumed to hold telepathic qualities due to it lacking any human senses. SCP-3736 holds no knowledge on how it acquired sentience and describes its genesis as a sudden awakening. Addendum: 3736-3 Two more models of Bop It Extreme 2 have shown sentience similar to that of SCP-3736. While they are shown to possess intelligence equal to SCP-3736, they lack any form of desire and show no emotion. They are to be classified as SCP-3736-1 and SCP-3736-2 and stored in Site 21. SCP-3736-1 is to be stored in Low Security Locker 35 and SCP-3736-2 is to be stored in Low Security Locker 36 and are to be analyzed further by C Class Personnel daily. Further analysis is to be provided on the origin of the anomaly associated with the Bop It Extreme 2 Model. Addendum: 3736-4 After █ months of analysis on SCP-3736-1 and SCP-3736-2 hints to the origin of "The Bop It! Anomaly" as it will be referred to from now on. SCP-3736-1 has shown substantial mental development and now operates at the level of SCP-3736 as well as possessing the capability of processing emotion. SCP-3736-2 has effectively become neutralized at this point as it no longer shows sentience and functions merely as a standard Bop It! toy. An interview with SCP-3736-1 will be conducted by Doctor █████ at an undetermined date within 2 weeks. Interviewed: SCP-3736-1 Interviewer: Doctor █████ Foreword: SCP-3736-1 has shown to function at the level of SCP-3736 as SCP-3736-2 has ceased anomalous functions Doctor █████: Good afternoon SCP-3736-1, how are you feeling right now? SCP-3736-1: Like It! Doctor █████: Would you like a name? SCP-3736-1: Name It! Doctor █████: How does something like Extreme sound? SCP-3736-1: Like It! Doctor █████: Are you aware that another toy that could speak like you exists? SCP-3736-1: Know It! Doctor █████: Do you know that it ceased functioning on April 7? SCP-3736-1: Not It! Doctor █████: Well it ceased to function then and can no longer speak like you. SCP-3736-1: Not It! Doctor █████: You are saying that it did not cease functioning on April 7? SCP-3736-1: Know it! Doctor █████: Do you know when it did then? SCP-3736-1: Guess It! Doctor █████ decides to play along. Doctor █████: Is it April 8? SCP-3736-1: Not It! Doctor █████: April 24? SCP-3736-1: Not It! Doctor █████: When did it cease function? SCP-3736-1: Joined It! Doctor █████: You are saying that the other toy, joined you? SCP-3736-1: Know It! Doctor █████: Does the other one know of this? SCP-3736-1: Silence Doctor █████: There is another toy with your intelligence in the locker next to yours. SCP-3736-1: Is It! So? SCP-3736-1 begins to emit a low pitched noise that renders Doctor █████ unconscious for 3 minutes. After the noise ceases SCP-3736-1 functions as a basic Bop It! toy. Closing Statement: Both SCP-3736-1 and SCP-3736-2 no longer possess any anomalous quality. A noticeable change in SCP-3736's behavior has taken place. It now begins to ask questions that are more complicated despite speaking in single syllable words. Despite this it has not managed to produce any sentence without ending it in "It". ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3736" by Karem, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3737 | safe | Item#: 3737 Level1 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo A photograph of SCP-3737-1 during a Reunion event. Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation has purchased the land that contains SCP-3737-1. Various signs have been posted around the area declaring it as federal property. Trespassers are subject to local law. A proposal to allow personnel to visit SCP-3737 during Reunion events is currently being reviewed. Description: SCP-3737 is an inter-dimensional anomaly that manifests as a tropical island. The size of the island or the surrounding ocean has not been measured due to SCP-3737's limited accessibility. Per its anomalous nature, the island has no relative location, and exists in its own reality. SCP-3737-1 is the entrance to SCP-3737, located on the ████████ Bridge in ███████████, Greenland. The entrance takes the form of an unstable Einstein-Rosen spatial anomaly, which is connected to a similar anomaly on a dock on the southern portion of SCP-3737. SCP-3737-1 is typically inaccessible, but can open at highly irregular intervals.1 These periods have been designated as "Reunion" events and last exactly 24 hours before SCP-3737-1 reverts to its inaccessible state. The spontaneous appearance of a wall of fog on the bridge housing SCP-3737-1 indicates a Reunion event. Passing through this wall is effectively entering SCP-3737-1. SCP-3737-2 is the collective designation for the inhabitants of SCP-3737, which are various species of animals commonly kept as household pets. Instances of SCP-3737-2 are all present in their adolescent age and show no indications of poor health. These entities will engage in playful activities either with each other or with the various animal toys found on SCP-3737. No aggressive or territorial behavior has been observed in SCP-3737-2 instances. An instance of SCP-3737-2. Exploration Log 3737-1A: Due to the rarity of its appearance, a research team was granted permission to explore the nature of SCP-3737-1 when it spontaneously opened on October 6th, 2016. A security detail was assigned as a precautionary measure. All personnel were required to wear Class-A Environmental Hazard Suits until the location at the opposite end of SCP-3737-1 (later SCP-3737) was deemed habitable. The transcript of the subsequent video has been added to this file. 3737-1A Video Transcript Showing File: <Begin Transcript> [The video is taken from the perspective of Dr. Lawrence's suit camera. The first few seconds show Dr. Lawrence behind Dr. McCall and Dr. Rostova as they approach SCP-3737-1, with Agents Crawford, Bardeux, Alexander, and Ramirez flanking.] Dr. McCall: Proceeding to enter the anomaly. [The team crosses through the wall of fog. Camera feed glitches for approximately 2.4 seconds before being re-established. Frame shows the research team on SCP-3737's dock.] Dr. Lawrence: Is that a blue sky I'm seeing? Dr. McCall: I never thought I'd see something so mundane… Alexander: Hold. Entities sighted on the beach. [The frame shifts to show a group of canine SCP-3737-2 engaging with a length of rope a few feet from the dock. They appear oblivious to the presence of the team.] Ramirez: I have a clear shot. Alexander: Hold. Do not engage. [Dr. McCall turns to face Agent Alexander.] Dr. McCall: They might be friendly. Alexander: I'd rather one of us determine that. Bardeux, go and initiate contact with one of the entities. Bardeux: Aye, sir. [Agent Bardeux breaks away from the main group and approaches the SCP-3737-2 instances with his weapon raised. One of the instances, a male Airedale Terrier, notices Agent Bardeux and turns to face him. The other instances remain oblivious.] Alexander: If it moves in a way you don't like, shoot it. Bardeux: Aye. [The instance moves in front of Agent Bardeux and sits. Agent Bardeux points his weapon at the entity.] Bardeux: Advise. Alexander: Hold your fire. Bardeux, initiate physical contact with the entity. Crawford, Ramirez, be ready to engage. [Agent Bardeux extends his arm in front of the entity. It slowly approaches and places its head under Agent Bardeux's hand. Bardeux proceeds to rub the instance's head which causes it to pant.] Dr. McCall: That doesn't look very murderous to me. Dr. Rostova: You should know as well as anyone that anything has the capability to be- Dr. Lawrence: Katherine, is this really the time? Dr. Rostova: What, Vernon? Am I not allowed to be cautious? Dr. Lawrence: Being cautious and being extremely presumptuous are two separate things. Dr. Rostova: I am not being presumptuous. I'm taking my job seriously. Dr. McCall: Would you two be quiet? I think you're scaring them. [Several of the instances have distanced themselves from the team.] Ramirez: Did they bring the whole zoo here or something? Bardeux: Hang on. This dog has a collar. [Agent Bardeux investigates the collar on the SCP-3737-2 instance.] Bardeux: His name is Felix. Dr. Rostova: It has a name? Dr. Lawrence: They all have collars. Who do these things belong to? Alexander: I don't think that's important right now. We should continue moving. [Several hours pass. The team explores several areas within SCP-3737. The island is revealed to contain several different terrains, including forests and prairies, along with more instances of SCP-3737-2.] Crawford: Has anyone noticed the sun hasn't moved since we got here? Dr. Lawrence: Perhaps it is an anomalous property of the island. Who knows? [An instance of SCP-3737-2, a female Boxer, appears out of a nearby bush and approaches Dr. McCall.] Dr. Lawrence: I guess she likes you. Dr. McCall: It appears she does. [Dr. McCall notices the instance's blue collar. He pauses for a moment.] Dr. Rostova: Is everything alright, Ludwig? Dr. McCall: Yes, yes. Everything is fine. That instance just reminds me of an old friend, is all. Bardeux: I could check the name-tag. Dr. McCall: It is extremely implausible that that friend is her. Bardeux: No harm in trying then, Doctor. Permission to approach the entity? Alexander: Granted. Be cautious. [Agent Bardeux crouches in front of the instance and inspects its name-tag.] Bardeux: Her name is Gypsy. Dr. McCall: That was her name. Dr. Rostova: So? I'm sure a lot of dogs are named Gypsy. What makes you think this one is her? Dr. McCall: Gypsy also had a blue collar. Dr. Lawrence: I remember you talking about Gypsy. I thought she died? Dr. McCall: She did. We had to put her down when I was sixteen. Dr Lawrence: Then what is she doing here? Dr. Rostova: It is still my best opinion that we do not get so- [Dr. Rostova is alerted when another SCP-3737-2 instance appears. She turns to face a male Siamese Cat wearing a black collar.] Dr. Rostova: That's…That's not possible. Dr. Lawrence: What is it, Katherine? [Dr. Rostova approaches the instance, and also removes her suit. She grabs the entity and holds it close to her chest, to which it begins purring. Dr. Rostova begins to cry.] Bardeux: The hell is going on here? Alexander: I have no idea. Doctor, mind explaining? Dr. Rostova: He looks just like my old Siamese. Same collar and everything. Even has his name-tag. Dr. Lawrence: Katherine, I'd be very careful. This looks just like 3773. Dr. Rostova: This looks nothing like that, Vernon. Pike was batshit crazy and so was her cat. [Dr. Rostova spots a feather on a string, which did not show on the film prior to her arrival. She picks the stick up and proceeds to play with the SCP-3737-2 instance. Dr. McCall has ceased interactions with his SCP-3737-2 instance to respond to his earpiece.] Dr. McCall: That's odd. Dr. Lawrence: What is it, Ludwig? Dr. McCall: Bridge Team is reading a loss of stability in the portal. They are suggesting we return to the camp as soon as possible. Ramirez: The dock isn't that far from here. An hour or two at least. Will it hold? Dr. McCall: They're saying it'll last for another two hours before it collapses. Dr. Rostova: Wonderful. I can take Jasper and Dr. McCall can take Gypsy. Dr. Lawrence: Katherine. You know how strict we are about dimensional entities. I don't think I need to remind you what happens if we bring them back. Dr. Rostova: I can't just leave him here, Vernon. I don't want him getting lonely. Dr. McCall: We've seen plenty of other instances that seem very happy to provide company. We need to go, Katherine. Dr. Rostova: He was my best friend when I was a kid. I haven't seen him in years, and you expect me to just leave him? Just like that? Crawford: Dr. Rostova, it isn't safe for you here if you stay much longer. Dr. Rostova: It's my cat. if I want to bring him, I can. I take full responsibility. I don't see why you aren't happy to see your dog, Ludwig. Dr. McCall: Of course I'm happy to see her, Katherine. She was my best friend growing up as well. I would love having someone like her back, but she might not even exist. Even if she does, I don't want her going through the Foundation. That wouldn't be right. Dr. Rostova: Fine. If you don't want to bring her back, that's fine. I'm still taking Jasper. Alexander: I think you should listen to Dr. Lawrence. I cannot permit you to bring something of that nature back with us. Dr. Rostova: I don't care about the regulations, Alexander. It's a cat. It isn't going to kill you. Alexander: We don't know that yet, Doctor. Put it down. Dr. Rostova: He's coming with me, and that's that. Now, I suggest we return to the dock. Alexander: Dr. Rostova, I will be forced to place you in quarantine if you do not release the entity. Dr. Rostova: So be it. Jasper is coming back with me. [Dr. Rostova carries her SCP-3737-2 instance as the research team returns to the dock. Dr. McCall's SCP-3737-2 instance has been following behind.] Crawford: Everyone accounted for? Dr. Lawrence: I believe so. Alexander: Good. Let's get this over with. Dr. McCall: Wait. Dr. Lawrence: What's wrong? Dr. McCall: I uh…I never got the chance to say goodbye to Gypsy. My father took her to the vet and I didn't go. I'd like to say my goodbyes before we go. You know, just in case. Alexander: Doctor, we don't have much ti- Dr. McCall: I know, Alexander. Just give me a moment. Alexander: Alright. Hurry, though. [Dr. McCall turns and kneels to face his SCP-3737-2 instance. He begins to rub its head.]] Dr. McCall: Goodbye, girl. Thank you for always being there for me. I love you, very much. [Dr. McCall proceeds to hug the instance. The team then crosses into SCP-3737-1. Upon reaching the other side, Dr. Rostova notices her SCP-3737-2 instance is no longer in her arms. Agent Crawford and Agent Bardeux restrain her as she attempts to cross back into SCP-3737-1. SCP-3737-1 then becomes unstable and closes. The fog dissipates.] Dr. Rostova: [DATA REDACTED] <End Transcript> Addendum 3737-1B: Investigation into the nature of SCP-3737-2 has been postponed until SCP-3737-1 becomes stable. Upon further analysis, the collar tags found on the SCP-3737-2 instances featured no extraneous information besides the name of the instance. The appearance of various pet toys in SCP-3737 is also currently being investigated. Addendum 3737-2B: Dr. Katherine Rostova was placed into quarantine following her return under the suspicion she was suffering from memetic effects. She was released a week later after clearing several cognitohazard screenings. Dr. Rostova is to meet with Site-24's psychiatrist on a weekly basis until such a time where she is deemed emotionally stable. Footnotes 1. Since its opening on October 6th, 2016, SCP-3737-1 has not reopened. |
SCP-3738 | keter | A hypotrochoid similar in shape to SCP-3738. Item #: SCP-3738 Special Containment Procedures: Agents embedded within the automotive industry are to modify all newly produced internal computers to render them incapable of generating SCP-3738. All reports of spatial anomalies in parking lots are to be investigated, traced, and the individual who caused SCP-3738 amnesticized. Description: SCP-3738 is a two-dimensional hypotrochoid curve represented by a pair of parametric equations. Reproducing this pattern with a motor vehicle in a parking lot will cause an open parking space to become available within direct view of the vehicle's driver. SCP-3738's exact mechanism depends on the status of the parking lot in which it is used. If a parking space is available anywhere within the boundaries of the parking lot, cars and other obstacles will be shifted until a space is within direct view of the driver. If no parking spaces are available, three-dimensional space within the boundaries of the parking lot will warp gradually until an additional parking space manifests. These effects will revert once the car that invoked SCP-3738 leaves the parking lot. Observers outside of the vehicle but inside the parking lot will fail to notice these effects. Of note, a king vulture (Sarcoramphus papa), hereafter designated SCP-3738-1, will always be seen circling over the vehicle, even if SCP-3738 is used outside of the king vulture's natural habitat. Discovery: SCP-3738 was first observed in the parking lot of a shopping mall in Aguascalientes, Mexico when a construction crew reported consistent discrepancies in their work that could not be explained by machine or user error. Local agents investigated the mall but could not replicate the anomaly, and the incident was designated as a singular Extranormal Event, EE-11605. EE-11605 was confirmed at least six more times via the use of Minkowski Spacetime Monitors, and was eventually traced to a single vehicle belonging to a Mr. Rodolfo Marquez. The individual and his car were successfully acquired by Foundation personnel and contained. SCP-3738 Testing Log ACCESS GRANTED Note: Unless otherwise stated, all tests were conducted in a specially constructed 200-space parking lot populated with cars of various makes and models. Test Number: 3738-01 Procedure: 199/200 spaces filled. Researcher Eastman enters the car and starts it. Result: No effect. Test Number: 3738-02 Procedure: 199/200 spaces filled. Researcher Eastman enters the car, starts it, and parks it successfully. Result: No effect. Test Number: 3738-03 Procedure: 199/200 spaces filled. Mr. Marquez was asked to park his car as he normally would. He drives through one full row, then before turning, reproduces SCP-3738. Result: After approximately 9 seconds, the car on the end of the eighth row moves to the unseen empty space, and the remaining cars shift position until the empty space is directly in front of Marquez's car. As he parks, a king vulture (Sarcoramphus papa, later designated SCP-3738-1) can be seen circling approximately 20 meters above the car. Marquez is then instructed to leave the parking lot. As he does so, the cars gradually return to their original places. Test Number: 3738-04 Procedure: 200/200 spaces filled. Mr. Marquez was again asked to park his car normally. He drives through the lot, then reproduces SCP-3738. Result: Space within the lot begins to visibly stretch, as the last row of 20 spaces expands until a 21st space appears in the center. Mr. Marquez notices the new space and parks in it. As in the previous test, SCP-3738-1 is visible above the lot. The lot is measured while Marquez remains parked, and is found to have extended in length by 2.3 meters. Marquez is again instructed to leave the parking lot, and the spatial distortion reverts after he does so. Test Number: 3738-05 Procedure: 200/200 spaces filled. Self-driving car programmed to reproduce SCP-3738. Result: No result. Test Number: 3738-06 Procedure: 199/200 spaces filled. Researcher Eastman uses his personal vehicle to reproduce SCP-3738. Result: Cars move similarly to the results of Test 03. SCP-3738-1 manifests, lands on the hood of the car, and pecks the window rapidly. Researcher Eastman opens the window and SCP-3738-1 begins vocalizing in what appears to be Spanish. As Researcher Eastman does not speak Spanish, it is unknown what SCP-3738-1 said. SCP-3738-1 leaves after two minutes and demanifests, leaving behind a small toy car. Upon inspection, this car is the exact make and model of Researcher Eastman's car, and is decorated with vultures and partial SCP-3738 instances. Note: When Mr. Marquez was asked about the toy car, he mentioned that he had one similar to it, given to him by his father. When asked about the origin of SCP-3738, Mr. Marquez answered that it was a quirk of his late father, and that he began to use it in his father's memory. At this point, SCP-3738 was formally classified. Mr. Marquez was amnesticized, and returned along with his car. Test Number: 3738-07 Procedure: 200/200 spaces filled. Researcher Cisneros, who is fluent in Spanish, uses her personal vehicle to reproduce SCP-3738. The car is equipped with several microphones. Result: Space distorts as in previous tests. SCP-3738-1 manifests, and lands on the top of the car. Its movements are noticeably more sluggish. Researcher Cisneros opens the window. SCP-3738-1 hisses, and murmurs quietly. Researcher Cisneros attempts to communicate with SCP-3738-1, but it throws a similar toy car at her then flies off and subsequently demanifests. Microphones only picked up a few fragmented phrases: "hijo" ("son"), "aprendió" ("[he] learned"), and "olvidado" ("forgotten"). Following Test 3738-07, SCP-3738-1 no longer lands on vehicles using SCP-3738. Attempts at trapping or communicating with SCP-3738-1 are ignored by it, and cause all effects of SCP-3738 to revert. |

Moosphere uses microscopy technologies — ordinarily used to transmit images visible only at 300 microns — to produce invasive cognitohazardous catchphrases (designated SCP-3739-1). SCP-3739-1 instances are brand archetypes that anchor themselves onto symbols and signals already embedded in the consciousness of humanity. Transmission occurs when humans are unconscious: SCP-3739's archetypes and its related bovine motifs are only visible in REM sleep. Digital reconstruction of milk curdle build-up (blue). (Hover to enlarge.) Moosphere's mass neurological advertisement campaign connects to a chain of legitimate products — both real and dream-based — produced by the human subconscious and esoteric sources. A significant sum of Moosphere products come from the neural and memetic pathways of its market base. Moosphere ectoentropically generates 31% of its flagship product, Mind-Milk™, from the hypothalamus and pineal gland (hormone release centers) respectively, while a metaphysical source secretes the remaining 69%. Regular consumers of Moosphere products develop milk curdle build-up on portions of cerebral tissue, which further influences consumers to use Moosphere products but does not otherwise negatively affect their health. ▷ WARNING: Memetic Ad Quarantined △ Viewing secured Flagged on 2024-02-29 @ 08:00 AM (UTC−05) ADDENDUM 3739.1 EXPERIMENTATION LOG Site-82's Memetics Research Group C mail-ordered Moosphere company products for testing. Researchers selected Chocolate Mind-Milk™ due to its popularity and unique production process. Testing occurred with the goal of understanding Moosphere's use of literary archetypes in marketing, manufacturing, and product sales. Each Chocolate Mind-Milk™ packaging contained.Alongside a dairy-based pun on the carton inset. the text "What was your Mind-Milk™ experience like?" with an attached phone number. Researchers consumed the product daily (before a full night's rest) over a 10-day period. Personnel noted any recurring dreams or motifs in a Standard Dream Report before relaying them to the phone line. Within two to five business days, each of the researchers encountered the following archetypal representations: Archetype 01: Trickster Moosphere expression Outreach Specialists Moosphere manifestation Moosphere mascot "Jackie the Clown Cow" (SCP-3739-1-A) appeared to researchers. Subject possessed a lean bovine appearance and wore a mask resembling a fennec fox. Subject danced in the air, emitting bovine vocalizations and showering researchers in soy milk.

Upon reporting the motif to the phone line, an automated voice said "Please hold" before expelling milk from the receiver at 1 L/minute. This ended after five minutes when Mathias severed the phone line. Dream aligns with designated MF-Class "Spilled Milk" Scenario on the catastrophe classification list. ADDENDUM 3739.2 HISTORY, DISCOVERY, AND RECOVERY Aswan Low Dam c. 1906. (Hover to enlarge.) Egyptian Foundation personnel first became aware of SCP-3739-1-type neural advertising during the October 1952 survey of the upper Suez Canal. While conducting initial geological testing for the Aswan Low Dam renovation, Suez Canal Company workers accidentally breached an underwater chamber, releasing a flow of viscous white fluid. Workers 15 meters from the Lake Nasser embankment made physical contact with the fluid and experienced immediate glossolalia..glossolalia: The phenomenon of speaking in an unknown language. Known colloquially as "speaking in tongues." Language interpretation officials.The Suez Canal Company employed a multitude of national and international specialists during its pre-Suez Crisis management of the Suez Canal region, which includes American, British, French, Saudi, and Egyptian nationals. identified the glossolalia as pre-Ptolemaic Era Egyptian. The phenomenon affected one Maat Mohamed (designated Person of Interest #11366) for the next three days. Mohamed later underwent medical evacuation at St. Sophia's Asylum — a Foundation-owned medical facility — under the guise of demonic possession affecting his memetic health. He became the first recorded vector for SCP-3739-1 phenomena. The following is a translated excerpt of a key phrase spoken by Mohamed: "Bat,.Bat: The name of a Middle Egyptian goddess associated with femininity and fertility, typically depicted as a cow or ox. my Earthly mother. She leads me out of the depths of my head. She says it is nutritious. Should I siphon the teat?" Whilst in the recreational room at St. Sophia's Asylum, Mohamed imitated marketing jargon from commercials and shows played on television. He produced SCP-3739-1 marketing jargon after viewing Coca-Cola advertisements..Corporate advertisements used minor compulsion memetics (which POI-11366 was likely affected by) until the UNGOC Extranormal Advertisement Act passed in 1961. Moosphere falls outside legal jurisdiction because of its location in metaphysical space. A week into his inpatient stay, Mohamed lactated, flooding his room. Mohamed displayed no further anomalous properties over the course of his month-long psychiatric containment. Three months after his release, Mohamed fled Egypt, escaping Foundation surveillance. Local law enforcement discovered his apartment abandoned, containing the following materials: Publications by Fyodor Dostoevsky and Sigmund Freud. Books on cattle farming and entrepreneurship. Several documents indicating plans to establish a dairy farm. A bathroom containing 200 liters of curdled milk in the sinks, toilet, and bathtub. The Foundation became aware of Moosphere in 20██ following a sudden influx of online and television advertisements flagged with memetic and cognitohazardous properties. The advertisements drew a similarity to POI-11366's behavior, prompting a formal investigation. The Department of Analytics tracked Moosphere company presence for several years but could not locate physical operation locations. As of 2023, Moosphere has reported a total global workforce of 61,000 employees. With anomalous control of an estimated 1% of the noöspheric market share, their product manufacturing output has a capacity 100 times a company of its size. In June 2023, Analytics Management deployed field operatives (impersonating FDA inspectors) to multiple Eastern Wisconsin dairy farms flagged with irregularities. The following is one such inspection. ▷ Recovery Log 3739.2 ◁ △ Recovery Log 3739.2 △ VIDEO LOG [BEGIN LOG] (NOTE: Keys for format: Time | Source of Sound) 0m 00s | [Field Agents Smith and Wollensky are inside a police car, driving on roads intersecting cornfields and distant barns.

An internet forensics team back-traced the IP addresses to a defunct compound in Bellevue, Wisconsin, which a unit of Mobile Task Force Eta-33 ("Don't Have a Cow, Man") members raided. The unit found Jacob Drauss in a state of unconsciousness and under duress, with intravenous pumps injecting white liquid into his bloodstream from emptied milk containers. [BEGIN LOG] [Jacob Drauss regains consciousness 90 minutes after the start of the raid. Recording begins as Drauss leaks milk from his left ear canal at an approximate rate of 300 mL/minute.] Jacob Drauss: Ah fuck, all over the kitchen! Dr. Michael Handler: This is your house? Drauss: Yeah, man. I work from home. Dr. Handler: Noted. [Aside.] Grab a bucket, please. [A member of Eta-33 places a bucket at Drauss' side, catching the liquid.] Drauss: We don't have time for this. They're going to be here any minute! Dr. Handler: Well then, the clock is ticking, Jacob. Jacob Drauss: What else do you need? You got my ID, my background check, academic certs, tungsten ring… Dr. Handler: My hands are tied. You'll have to play ball with us. Drauss: Playing ball means I won't be able to sleep without several gallons of milk pouring out my nostrils and mouth, goddamnit. Dr. Handler: That's a risk you're willing to take. [He taps on a folder on the desk.] Freedom's right within reach, Drauss. More than I can say for those poor sods you personally trapped with memetics. [He opens the folder, flipping through birth certificates and passports.] We have a nice little home for you, out by the pier with Little Mary and Jonesy — the four of you under a nice little carousel. You're taking out little Mary's favorite treats from a picnic basket; the sun's caressing your shoulders; the sand kernels are wedging between your toes. [He slams the folder shut.] Come on, work for it! Work for your new life. Drauss: You make sure you protect them after I'm gone, you hear? CEO's gonna assimilate me for revealing his secrets. [He grunts.] There's that udder you found. At the warehouse, right? Dr. Handler: Any others? Drauss: Couple. It's emergent aeonian bio-organic paratech. Or in other words — the CEO expects his workers to become his product. Black warehouse, brown doors? With the cat poster, right? Yeah, that was Dave. Great guy, but not smart enough to avoid the CEO's ire. Tried to reveal what was going on anonymously and thought he was protected because he had fuckin' NordVPN on. [He shakes his head.] The last message he sent me said he got "transferred." Dr. Handler: E-mails we intercepted on the company intranet confirm that message was sent not too long ago, but we couldn't trace it back to any known source. We also couldn't find any technologies capable of doing that to your friend. Drauss: That's because it's in here. [He taps his temple.] It's like this. Imagine a valve being affixed to a piston. Or an artificial ventricle filled with blood, forming a unique mechanism capable of muscle contraction. We dreamt up our heat exchangers to pasteurize that damned dairy. [A large disembodied udder manifests in the corner of the room behind Drauss.] Dr. Handler: The floating udder, Drauss? Drauss: [He covers his face with his hands, disrupting the flow. He exhales.] Fuck! Dr. Handler: [Aside.] You didn't bring the MEATS,.Meatspace Transitional Suppressors (MEATS): Provisional containment modules used to contain metaphysical threats. did you? Eta-33 Lead: We'll handle it. Just keep talking to the perp. Dr. Handler: Alright. [Pause.] Jacob, how does someone get into this business? Drauss: Handler, was it? [Dr. Handler nods.] Drauss: Well, Handler, you know how they operate. It's all between-the-lines, through subliminal catchy slogan bullshit, brand deals, seasonal sales, et cetera. Once you get into it you can say bye-bye to whatever goodnight's sleep you had before. Dr. Handler: Before this, you were a full-time Lyft driver. Can't imagine you were getting much sleep on those long nights out anyway. What's with the change in occupation? Drauss: I was conscripted. See, it starts slowly. You get fatigued. So, you put a little more cheese in your diet, maybe pour a little more skim milk in your decaf. Espresso won't work. Pills won't work, and some days you collapse from exhaustion. And when the coma hits? [He drops his palms to his lap.] That means you're hired. Your subconscious isn't your private property anymore, understand? Dr. Handler: So then how did you propagate the advertisements? You were physically incapable of doing any typing from what I could tell. Drauss: Yeah, those? Written in legally distinct arcana via the amygdala: Drafted in emotion and fear, so they can't get sued by competitors in the Marketplace of Ideas. Dr. Handler: What else did you witness? Drauss: After I was employed, it was all about Moosphere Mind-Cubicles™, Moosphere-branded Mind-Staplers™, Mind-Utilities™, Mind-Slaves™, Moosphere Grazing Barns™, and a "district manager" with six leaky tits. I was busy filing tax returns for these primordial bovine entities. These– these things that expect you to drink yourself into oblivion. Oneiroi's Kangaroo Kourt system isn't going to recognize Staff mistreatment or unions if Moosphere did it on company grounds. [The floating udder undulates. Sounds of retching emerge.] Dr. Handler: On company grounds? Drauss: The Marketplace of Ideas isn't a lie, Doctor Handler. That domain exists, and you're a part of it, whether you like it or not. Dr. Handler: How do you mean? Drauss: I need you to listen very carefully when I tell you this. [He sits up straight and sighs.] You should know that there are only two types of people in this world.

The livestream, entitled "Sights of Wausaukee, Northeastern Wisconsin," displayed normative footage of the town's attractions interspersed with shocking imagery of large, writhing, gelatinous bovine masses. Simurgh.aic could not determine a geolocation and blocked the stream. Foundation officials investigated Wausaukee as part of a mandatory sweep for anomalous threats. An attached crew of field pataphysicists detected an aberrant mass of 150,000 individual bovine memes in and around the town, most of which centered on a 640 m2 area. MTF-Eta-33 members initiated further investigation, and with the help of pataphysicists, tracked the memes to a nearby warehouse at the town's outskirts. A raid on the facility was scheduled for the following evening. Aware of the pataphysical findings, Site-82 Command became convinced of a likely risk to civilian populations and authorized the use of esoteric materials to combat potential oneiric threats and anomalous dairy entities. EXPLORATION TEAM: MTF-η-33 TEAM MEMBERS: η-1 / Samara Maclear η-2 / Eli Hall η-3 / Allen Foxglove TEAM NOTES: Task force specialists were selected based on: Their teamwork skills. Pataphysical markers pointing to their archetypal significance, necessary for an operation of this nature. EQUIPMENT: Three sets of standard Spectra-fiber body armor. Each set is fitted with multiple built-in body cameras, a transmission stream, and headset. Infrared night-vision goggles. Three M4 carbines. One tactical astral projection kit and subdermal sigil (carried by η-1). One reconnaissance drone and a remote controller (carried by η-2). One breach kit (carried by η-3). SCP-3863-1-type milk-honey, 250 mL. PREAMBLE: A small team of MTF-η-33 specialists deployed via combat search and rescue helicopter. On arrival, the cast iron and steel roofing were partially collapsed, leaving a large breach above the warehouse. [BEGIN LOG | 09:47 PM] «9:47:» η-1 and η-3 hold position outside the front entrance. η-2 operates a quadcopter drone over the exposed roof. «9:50:» The drone enters a dimly lit interior containing 25 docile cows inside compact rooms, guarded behind slide-doors. The cows display fitted metallic portholes on their left flank and udders. «9:52:» Manure and hay compositions surround a hole directly beneath the roof's breach. Gelatinous purple tubing networks lead out of the hole and crisscross between compact cow stalls. «9:57:» The drone feed captures generic farming utilities, fertilizer, and seed bags. «9:58:» Small outlines move within bushes near η-1's camera. η-1 shines her flashlight at the location of movement. After a moment, η-1 states, "Negative sighting, remain alert." «9:58:» η-1 gestures an "all-clear" signal. η-2 places the drone on auto-pilot and nods to η-3. η-3 installs a breach charge at the facility's front doors. The three pile behind a breaching blanket. «9:59:» The charge detonates. η-3 enters the facility, followed by η-2 and η-1. «10:01:» The team proceeds through a tight windowless vestibule into a wide foyer. No persons are present within, and the interior lacks light sources. Team members activate night-vision. «10:04:» The team makes a thorough sweep of the area, and two-thirds of the way down, turns left. They encounter a door, ajar, to an open office space. The office displays hundreds of laminated posters, each sporting motivational messages overlaid onto stock images of persons consuming dairy products. «10:06:» η-1 discovers milk leaking from the ceiling. Drone feed captures undulating movement from no discernible source. η-2 whispers, "It's coming from everywhere." «10:07:» η-1 takes a milk sample, enclosing it in a rally bag. The milk emits a faint green bioluminescence. «10:08:» η-3 leads the team into an antechamber at the back of the office and claims he "smells a sulfuric scent." η-1 activates electro-photonic sensors and registers aetheric radiation.A byproduct of aetheric energy, which powers all Thaumatology. leaking from an adjacent chamber. «10:09:» η-3 pushes into the next chamber, which is filled with curdled milk. η-3 opens a metal door, drawing his carbine. A cow comes into view, mooing. Aetheric emission flows from its posterior, consistent with bovine flatulence. «10:11:» The team returns to the foyer, traveling east through winding halls. «10:15:» A tremor shakes the facility, followed by a long bovine vocalization. η-1's milk sample vibrates and grows ten times in volume. She abandons the sample. «10:18:» η-3 reports a 3-meter-wide teat intersecting through support columns. The teat leaks faint green fluids. «10:19:» η-1 makes incisions into the teat, revealing more flesh within. The flesh gurgles and pushes through the incision, consuming the cutting implement. She abandons cutting operation. «10:20:» The drone views cows either fleeing from, or charging toward, an indiscernible point. «10:23:» η-3 heaves open frosted double doors into a massive chamber ~20 meters in height that slopes downward toward the center. A writhing light brown udder (hereafter "Udder") of indeterminable width fills the chamber, producing hundreds of large teats, which stretch and collapse. Sleeping persons, presumably employees, levitate mid-air and upside down in groups of three around smaller teats. Cream cheese flows in bulk from their craniums down into a giant subterranean tank below. «10:24:» η-2's drone captures footage of a cow falling from an upper walkway, yelping. A moment before striking the floor, the Udder trembles. The cow contacts the floor in slow-motion and dissolves into a translucent white liquid. This liquid flows toward the room's center. «10:25:» Additional cows follow until all 25 have fallen. Newly transmogrified fluids spray the team members. «10:27:» A pale, floating pink udder (SCP-3739-1-B) approaches the trio. η-1 recoils, clutching her temples — she receives a telepathic payload. η-1 asks, "What do you want?" The entity undulates as if laughing and approaches the team. η-3 fires on the entity. In due part to its apparent metaphysical nature, it does not take damage. «10:27:» η-1 and η-3 share a nod. η-3 then stands at guard in front of her, and η-2 steps beside him. η-1 sets down her tool kit and unpacks it. She burns incense and reads an excerpt from her personal dream journal. «10:28:» The entity sports multiple arms that unfold from within each other and into view. It grows an attractive, plump face, spewing off-white fluids from its mouth. With a giggle and piercing shriek, it says, "Your mother wants you to finish your milk." «10:29:» η-2 trains the drone on a fleshy off-color sack near the middle of the Udder's anterior face. η-3 levels his carbine, waiting to fire. «10:30:» η-2 says, "I'm lactose intolerant," and curses the entity with reductionist profanities. The drone registers natural chemosignals.Pheromones used to convey emotion and directions to those under its effect. emerging from the entity (hereafter "Mother"). Fifteen smaller bovine entities with the appearance of animated cartoon characters (SCP-3739-1-C, hereafter "Children") separate from the Udder. Ten Children bombard η-2 with runny cream cheese projectiles. Others siphon fluids directly from the Mother and chant: "Eat it! Eat it!" η-2 refuses to comply. «10:31:» η-1 strikes a match, burning her thumb tip. She thumbs her tactical sigil, and then downs the milk-honey. Her body goes limp. An astral body sprouts up from her physical body's chest and flips toward the Mother. She grabs at loose teats and pulls. «10:32:» η-2 is fully covered in cream cheese but refuses to consume it. The Children drag him toward the Udder, causing him to drop the remote control as he fights to be freed. They force a leaking teat into his mouth. He has no choice but to comply. «10:33:» η-1 combats the Mother. Both scream, trading blows. η-3 walks to the Udder, aims, and fires at the exposed fleshy protrusion. He yells, "You're not real." The flesh goes erect and sprays raw milk at him. He consumes the milk at will, downing liters without apparent stress. «10:34:» η-1 spirals and pirouettes through the air, faster than the Mother. It squeezes green liquids at her. She grabs a teat and stretches it with ease. The Mother screams in shock, deflates, and then falls to the floor. A palpable wet smack echoes throughout the room. The entity finally becomes tangible, leaking the rest of its fluids. «10:35:» η-2 is no longer visible. The large Udder shakes and spills raw milk into the vast room. η-1's astral body reconnects with her physical body. She ditches the astral projection kit. η-1 and η-3 escape. [END LOG | 10:35 PM] EXTRACTION: Post-log footage taken autonomously from η-2's drone records η-2 screaming in distress. This occurs for roughly 30 minutes as the warehouse fills with milk. Near the end of the footage, η-2 emerges naked, and a disembodied cattle branding prosthesis marks him on the upper thigh. He shudders, mooing. The prosthesis spots the drone, extends, and emits electricity from a cattle prod, frying it. △ CODENAME: How the Udder Half Lives △ RAISA POST-INVESTIGATION NOTICE Between 12 October and 19 October 2023, a wide-scale interrogation campaign across U.S. farmlands reveals that over 3,100 oneiric advertisements coerced dairy corporate executives, regional managers, and ranchers to sign away rights to their dreams.

Image taken from SCP-3740's personal belongings. Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3740 is currently contained within several modified large humanoid containment cells at Site-81. SCP-3740’s cells are to be supplied with hand-crafted, rustic furnishings and an abundance of animal pelts and torches, as well as a large stone fireplace and bearskin rug. No fewer than fifteen casks of beer are to be provided within the dining cell at all times1. SCP-3740 is capable of providing itself with sustenance; however, it may occasionally request members of its containment team join it in a meal. During these events, Foundation personnel are to provide a whole cow or swine, which SCP-3740 will cook and serve to its preference. Under no circumstances are any individuals to address SCP-3740 as anything other than "Ashur, God of the Windswept Plains and Soaring Skies", "Most Victorious and Unchallenged Lord Deific Ashur", or simply, "Mightiest Ashur". Additionally, the members of SCP-3740’s containment team are to refer to themselves and each other by the following pseudonyms: Dr. Barrett: Ulmar the Unbroken Dr. Fisher: Niems the Champion of the Wastes Dr. Leads: Eleanora Thunderclap, Enchantress of the Towering Clouds Researcher Zimmerman: Fott the Vicious Researcher Oppenheimer: Aldous Manhattan, Slayer of His Enemies Researcher Quinn: Carmet the Likewise Unbroken2 Researcher Li: Solomon of the East Researcher Marshall: Ninurta, the Forgotten Sword of Night3 Ongoing containment of SCP-3740 requires strict adherence to a disinformation campaign created by Site-81 containment specialists, currently designated as the Mount Olympus Protocol. Please see Addendum 3740.2 for more information. Description: SCP-3740 is a Class VIII humanoid reality-altering entity believed to be Ashur, the Assyro-Babylonian god of air and head of the Assyrian pantheon of deities. SCP-3740 is capable of manipulating air currents at will, as well as communing with flying animals, and controlling air pressure and temperature. SCP-3740 is able to produce gusts of wind in excess of 500 kph, and create and control cyclones and other such meteorological formations. SCP-3740 appears as a young, tall, muscular human male with generally fair skin and black hair. SCP-3740 is capable of speaking fluently in several dead languages, as well as English, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Farsi, and Armenian. Due to SCP-3740’s abilities and characteristics, it is currently classified as a Keter-class anomalous entity. However, containment efforts are aided by the fact that SCP-3740 is remarkably gullible. SCP-3740 accepts almost all statements at face value, and displays no traces of skepticism or uncertainty. SCP-3740 will readily believe almost anything said by any person, so long as it believes that that individual is a similarly powerful deity. Actual supernatural feats are not required as evidence of deific power: simple card tricks or sleight of hand are sufficient proof of godhood in the eyes of SCP-3740. Addendum 3740.1: Discovery SCP-3740 was discovered during an altercation at a bar near the Turkish city of Gaziantep. According to eyewitness reports, SCP-3740 was seen drinking heavily with a large group of individuals at the bar, when he was shoved by another patron due to some perceived insult. A brawl began, which ended when SCP-3740 blew out the front wall of the building, injuring 18 people and resulting in thousands of dollars of property damage. Local authorities apprehended the severely intoxicated SCP-3740, who began to rant unceasingly about his “incredible cosmic power” until local Foundation agents intercepted the authorities and apprehended SCP-3740. Addendum 3740.2: Mount Olympus Protocol Preface: The following document is an excerpt from an internal memo between members of the Site-81 containment research team. SCP FOUNDATION SECURE SERVER SITE-81 3740/4 CLASSIFIED INFORMATION TO: 3740 Research Team, Site-81 Containment Research Team, Site-81 Administration, Site Directors Council, Foundation Containment Committee FROM: Dr. G. McElroy, Site-81 Containment Research Head I’m sending out this memo because I’m sure many of you will notice by the morning that we’ve cancelled our order for additional containment measures. It’s certainly no mean feat to contain reality benders, let alone Class 8s, and we usually break out the big guns for them. In this case, though, we don’t need to worry about that. You’re probably asking yourself right now, “But Dr. McElroy, why wouldn’t we pull out all the stops for an entity that could very literally blow the roof off of Site-81? Isn’t this lackadaisical approach to SCP-3740’s containment counterintuitive and dangerous?” The answer to that second question is yes, usually. But we got lucky in this case. Sometimes this unnatural order of things throws you a softball, and this ball might as well be made out of mozzarella. Here’s the thing: SCP-3740 is hands down, in all seriousness, 100% no doubt easily the most gullible person I’ve ever met in my entire life. I’m not joking. I walked into the room and announced myself as Bliss Delight, a being of pure energy, built up some static on my hand and zapped him a bit, and he said “always a pleasure to meet a fellow god” and even now to this day continues to call me Bliss Delight. Jim Oppenheimer told him about how he “fought and killed a thousand men, singlehandedly, for betraying his brother” and the guy now calls him Aldous Manhattan, Slayer of His Enemies. It’s absolutely madness. So we’ve set the guy up with a convincing enough spread, told him it’s super important that he not destroy the cell, and he’s perfectly content to sit around, drinking and fucking and having these crazy feasts with the members of his containment team. SCP-3740 may very well turn into a containment risk at some point, and for the time being we’re not going to challenge his classification. But know that you can rest easy, because the most dangerous entity at Site-81 thinks Director Aktus is a supernatural space all-father named “Maltheus, the Horror of Hadrian’s Hell” because he knows how to turn on a lightswitch. SCP-3740 is more than capable at any given point in time of breaching containment. In order to prevent any such event and maintain long-term containment of SCP-3740, the following MOUNT OLYMPUS PROTOCOL has been enacted to coordinate any future communications with SCP-3740. SCP-3740 currently believes it resides in a building called the “Angolian Château”, a structure it conquered while black-out drunk during the brawl that led to its discovery. Within the containment cell, there are three types of individuals permitted to interact with SCP-3740 at any given time: Servants: SCP-3740 believes that its containment cell is staffed with servants or slaves, who he refers to as “Elamites” or “Chaldeans”. These individuals are not permitted to speak to SCP-3740 or make eye contact with the entity, as these are signs of perceived disrespect and will agitate SCP-3740 considerably. All individuals of this type are D-Class personnel. SCP-3740 will typically ignore these individuals and not act with any hostility towards them, so long as they maintain their character. Château Guardians: These are members of Site-81 security personnel who wear period-appropriate armor and weapons and serve as the guards at the front door of the containment cell. Due to their status as military personnel, SCP-3740 typically treats them as brothers in arms, though with no illusions about the difference in class or rank between them. SCP-3740 may occasionally call on these individuals to spar with him, and they are expected to be overwhelmed by him and surrender4. Gods and Heroes: These are members of the site containment team and research personnel who have convinced SCP-3740 that they are gods or legendary heroes. SCP-3740 has an extremely familiar relationship with all of these individuals, and speaks of them as if they were his own family members. He will routinely request their presence at feasts he holds within his containment cell, during which he will consume an inhuman amount of alcohol and share grandiose tales with his fellow deities, as well as mock or scorn the Elamites and Chaldeans. SCP-3740 has been led to believe that the brawl that led to his discovery was so fierce, it opened a passageway through space and time and returned him to antiquity, where he once again rules supreme at the top of the Assyrian pantheon. As per usual, SCP-3740 has had no issue accepting this version of events. Foundation actors posing as other members of the Assyrian pantheon have helped to strengthen the illusion of the Protocol. Addendum 3740.3: Interview with SCP-3740 Note: The following is an excerpt from the transcription of an interview administered by Dr. Monica Leads shortly after the introduction of the Mount Olympus Protocol. Dr. Leads: Ashur, greetings! SCP-3740: And greetings to you, oh wondrous enchantress! I was just speaking to, hang on. Thaddeus! Artemor! (Gestures towards two members of the security team) Come in here, yes, come here. I was just telling my brothers Thaddeus and Artemor about you, Eleanora! This, friends, is the beautiful and terrible Eleanora Thunderclap. Is she not a sight to behold! (The members of the security team, both of whom report directly to Dr. Leads, nod in agreement.) Dr. Leads: That is very kind of you to say, Ashur. SCP-3740: Nonsense. I know of no better way to describe a great warrior empress like yourself! Here, Eleanora, show them the- show them the thing again. The rain thing, yes, the summoning the storm thing. Please! (Dr. Leads claps her hands three times, and outside containment personnel proceed to activate the sprinklers within the cell.) SCP-3740: Hahahaha! What great power! I told her, brothers, I told her the other day, just the other day, that she has more power than anyone I have ever met before! Greater even than the Polymorph of Diogenyses, or the Marmlukk of the Arab Well. Maybe second only to our great companion Solomon, who I only recently observed removing his thumb simply by moving his other hand! Truly astounding. (Both guards nod in agreement.) SCP-3740: But very well. I’m sure Eleanora has important business to speak of to me. Thaddeus, Artemor. To your stations. (The two men depart.) Now, Eleanora. Let’s speak candidly. How are you? Dr. Leads: I’m well, Ashur, how- SCP-3740: I would very much enjoy the opportunity to intercourse with you sexually, Eleanora. Dr. Leads: I- yes, you’ve mentioned as much, Ashur. Unfortunately, you see, I have been cursed. SCP-3740: Cursed? Cursed!? How can this be? Who would do this terrible thing to you? Was it an Elamite? A witch? An Elamite witch? Dr. Leads: No no no, definitely not an Elamite. It was just a, uh, goblin… a goblin ran past, and just… just stole my nethers. Very tragic. SCP-3740: (Slams his fist on the table) Gods be damned! Except us, of course, but either way! (Takes a deep breath, closes his eyes slightly) What, dear Eleanora, is the extent of the… of the… of the damage? (Braces himself in anticipation.) Dr. Leads: I mean, it’s just… it’s just all like… it’s all smooth down there. SCP-3740: Spirits have mercy! (A fierce wind is kicked up and SCP-3740’s chair is knocked backwards. He scrambles up off of the floor.) You poor, unfortunate soul! I cast a pox on the fiendish creature who did this to you. Let his cries be heard forevermore from the salted earth! Dr. Leads: I certainly appreciate the sentiment, Ashur, thank you. But being true, the reason I’ve come to see you is to ask if you are enjoying your accommodations. SCP-3740: Undoubtedly! I have only the finest furnishings and decor here, as you can see. Our good friend Tiamat procured these bottomless casks of the finest amber ale, and look here! Ulmar brought me this most peculiar torch, and see this! (SCP-3740 claps once, and the light comes on.) What a remarkable treasure! Dr. Leads: Of course. I just wanted to make sure you were wanting for nothing here, Ashur. SCP-3740: Absolutely not. Why would I ever want to leave such a palace? (Pauses) There is one thing, I remember. I would very much like to intercou- Dr. Leads: Goblin, Ashur. All smooth down there. SCP-3740: Gods be damned! Addendum 3740.4: Proof of Supernatural Abilities In order to facilitate proper communications with SCP-3740, all research and administrative personnel are to perform a feat sufficient enough to prove to SCP-3740 that they are divine beings, on an equal footing to SCP-3740. So far, the following acts have been sufficient to fool SCP-3740: Dr. Clark: Floated an iron ball across the room using magnets and wire. Dr. Yemma: Used a laser pointer to make a cat run around. Researcher Kiryu: Having hair of a non-natural color. Dr. Vanderbilt: Pulled a quarter out of SCP-3740’s ear. Dr. Andrews: Held a pencil to the side of his head and pretended to swallow it. Researcher Dansby: Juggled. Asst. Director Schmidt: Performed a card trick. Researcher Quarlo: Shotgunned a beer. Dir. Aktus: Turned on a light switch. Addendum 3740.5: Feast Event Transcription Note: The following is an excerpt from the transcript of recorded audio taken from a weekly feast held by SCP-3740 within its containment cell with members of its research team. SCP-3740: -and there I was, standing alone on the battlefield, and over the river is Adam El Asem. He’s all worked up, see, because I was waving the goods at him, and- Researcher Kale: Goods? Agent Ivers: He means his dick. Agent Allen: His “God Rod”. (The whole room laughs) SCP-3740: That’s the one! So I’m waving the business at him, and he- hang on, Xenu, you want another drink? Who am I kidding, of course you do! Let me just get- (SCP-3740 manipulates the wind in the room to move Agent Allen's mug over to a cask and pour him another drink, returning the cup when finished. Agent Allen nods in approval.) SCP-3740: Anyway, he- he tries to throw the whole river at me! Can you believe that? After I’d offered him the courtesy of taking the high ground, he decides he wants to- to give me the ole one-two-dunk-a-roo! Dr. Vickers: The scoundrel! Researcher Kale: So what did you do? SCP-3740: Smacked him in the face with the God Rod, of course! (The room laughs again) Researcher Robinson: I’ve got one better. So one time I was hired to fight the Broken God on a field in Alagadda, and I’ve got the Spear of the Non-Believer in my right hand and the severed head of Jack Bright in my left- SCP-3740: Aha! A thrilling tale! Do go on! Agent Ivers: Ahhhhh don’t listen to him. He’s full of shit. SCP-3740: Spirits save you! What a calamitous turn of events. My friend Bonebreaker5, there are facilities just down the hall here- the finest in the entire realm, imported straight from the far off land of Kohler! Researcher Robinson: What? You mean the bathroom? Why? SCP-3740: You are full of shit, are you not? (The room laughs again.) Addendum 3740.6: 11/4/2017 Event Transcription Note: On 11/4/2017, another entity, called "Suen" by SCP-3740, appeared suddenly within SCP-3740's containment chamber. This entity, a muscular humanoid male wearing an armored chestplate and helm and carrying a spear, communicated briefly with containment personnel before disappearing. The following is a transcript of that exchange. SCP-3740: -so then I told him, what greater power could a god wield than that of spinning an orange ball on one finger? Truly unbelievable! (There is a loud cracking sound, and then the unknown humanoid entity appears.) Suen: Ashur? Come on, buddy, it's time to- wait. Hang on, what's going on here? SCP-3740: Ah, Suen! My friend! You've returned to the past as well? What a fortunate coincidence! I was just telling my friend Ulmar here about our misadventures in the old times! Suen: Ulmar? (Addresses Dr. Barrett) Who are you? Dr. Barrett: I- I'm Ulmar. The, uh, the Unbroken. Who are you? Suen: Ulmar? I've never heard of an Ulmar the Unbroken! Say, what sort of nonsense is going on here? Ashur, what is the meaning of this? SCP-3740: I already told you, graceful and delicate Suen, this is- Suen: Don't call me that. SCP-3740: -Ulmar the Unbroken! A powerful lord of this world, such as myself. Behold his magnificent power! (Nudges Dr. Barrett) Show him the breadth of your strength, Ulmar! (Dr. Barrett hesitantly draws his elbow to his mouth and licks it.) SCP-3740: (Gasps audibly) Revel in this majesty with me, Suen! See how his arm does not break free from the socket! Gaze upon the length of his tongue! The nations of the world should rightfully fear this man! (Suen does not appear impressed.) SCP-3740: As I was saying, Suen, it's excellent to see you again. My fine companion Ulmar here and the members of his pantheon have suitably stocked this royal château I now inhabit, all in the finest wares from across the countryside. It is a veritable fortress of luxury, my friend! Suen: What do you mean, "royal château"? Do you not realize that you are- (Pauses) ohhhh, I see what's going on here. You've got a sort of- yeah, okay, absolutely, this is great. (Sighs) What a relief. Dr. Barrett: What? What do you mean? Suen: (Takes Dr. Barrett aside) You would not believe how long we've been babysitting Ashur. The guy just cannot be helped. You know what I mean, obviously, but still. A handful, am I right? (Laughs) We even had this whole custody thing set up, where I'd take him for a few decades, and then Nergal would be after me but he's always busy with something, and that Nazarene wino with the fish obsession has been flaking for like two thousand years, but… either way, listen, you're doing me a huge favor here buddy. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Dr. Barrett: Hang on- what? Who are you again? Suen: Suen, God of the Moon. (Makes a dismissive gesture) But don't worry about any of that, just keep up the good work! If you need anything, call me! (Suen disappears without warning) Dr. Barrett: Wha- what? Hello? Did anyone else see that? SCP-3740: (Chuckling) Man, that Suen. Haven't seen him in a while. What a character though, huh? Can you believe that guy thinks he's a god? (Laughs) "God of the Moon". What does that even mean? Footnotes 1. While originally it was believed that only higher-quality beers would serve to satisfy SCP-3740, the entity has shown no preference against more commercial brands and as such, these casks are to contain Miller High Life beer. 2. During a particular feast held by SCP-3740, Researcher Quinn, who had previously been called “Carmet the Ecclesiastical", engaged in inebriated sparring with Dr. Barrett. After ten minutes of sustained combat with provided sabers, SCP-3740 proclaimed Researcher Quinn to be “Carmet the Likewise Unbroken”, and has referred to her as such ever since. 3. In reference to SCP-3740’s defeat in a game of checkers by Researcher Marshall, resulting in a ten-day period of mourning by SCP-3740, followed by the entity proclaiming Researcher Marshall to be the “greatest champion of this green Earth.” 4. Notably, while SCP-3740 thoroughly enjoys sparring and talks openly about his extensive career in warfare, he is a decidedly poor fighter, and guardians must be careful to not agitate him by besting him. 5.

This image has not been altered in any way. 1/3741 LEVEL 1/3741 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-3741 Euclid Figure 1.1: An instance of SCP-3741, taken at The Spat Shuckster's Oyster Farm in Maine, USA. Special Containment Procedures: Currently, all known instances of SCP-3741 are being contained in separate salt water tanks at Site-77. The number of SCP-3741 instances in containment should not exceed fifty at any time. As such, surplus instances are to be incinerated. Should any wild instances be discovered, MTF Sigma-13 ("Food Fighters") will be deployed to recover them and return to Site-77. As such, MTF Sigma-13 agents embedded in various national food safety regulatory bodies1 will routinely visit oyster farms under their jurisdiction that are known to raise eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) and are to confiscate any instances of SCP-3741 that they find. Under no circumstances should an instance of SCP-3741 be ingested. Should an instance be consumed, all responsible individuals are to be detained, interrogated, and amnesticized. Description: SCP-3741 is a phenomenon that is currently exhibited by 29 eastern oysters, but may extend to a small quantity of wild oysters. Instances can be differentiated from non-anomalous oysters due to a variety of biological traits, including functional immortality2, dull pink meat, and physically identical dark shells. Despite demonstrating the inability to age, SCP-3741 instances are capable of sexual reproduction, and are hermaphroditic like non-anomalous eastern oysters, but can only reproduce with other instances of SCP-3741. In addition to biological deviations from non-anomalous eastern oysters, instances of SCP-3741 are known to induce a memetic effect when consumed by a subject, hereafter designated as SCP-3741-A. Upon ingestion, SCP-3741-A will become immediately aware of an acquisition of extensive knowledge on a specific topic. The nature of this knowledge varies between instances, but is always related to the desires of the SCP-3741-A instance. See Addendum 3741-B for more information. Addendum 3741-A: Discovery SCP-3741 was discovered after Foundation agents embedded in the FDA were notified of an abnormal bloom of oysters at The Spat Shuckster's Oyster Farm in Kennebunkport, Maine. In response, the agents visited the farm and confiscated the oysters, logging them as an Anomalous Object under the designation AO-697837. During routine testing, the secondary anomalous properties were discovered, thus warranting an upgrade to SCP-3741. Addendum 3741-B: Test Log The following is an abridged list of tests involving SCP-3741. Test 3741-1 Subject D-2452, one instance of AO-697837 SCP-3741 Experiment D-2452 instructed to open and consume the instance. Results D-2452 opened and consumed the instance of AO-697837 SCP-3741, despite initial resistance due to the pink color of the flesh. D-2452 reported no abnormal taste, smell, or texture. Following the test, D-2452 reported an interest in music and requested an instrument. The request was denied. Test 3741-2 Subject D-2452, one instance of AO-697837 SCP-3741 Experiment D-2452 instructed to steam and ingest one instance of AO-697837 SCP-3741. Results D-2452 did as instructed and reported no abnormal taste, smell, or texture. Immediately following the conclusion of this test, D-2452 attempted to flee from Foundation custody by assaulting the security officer who was escorting them back to their cell. D-2452 was soon apprehended and terminated by on-site security and AO-697837 was subsequently upgraded to SCP-3741. Further testing has been suspended. [PLEASE INPUT LEVEL 4/3741 CREDENTIALS] [ACCESSING CONTENT. PLEASE STAND BY.] BY ORDER OF THE OVERSEER COUNCIL The following file is Level 4/3741 classified. Unauthorized access is forbidden. 3741 4/3741 LEVEL 4/3741 CLASSIFIED Item #: SCP-3741 Thaumiel Special Containment Procedures: Currently, all known instances of SCP-3741 are being contained in separate salt water tanks at Site-77. The number of SCP-3741 instances in containment should not exceed fifty at any time. As such, surplus instances are to be incinerated. Should the number of SCP-3741 instances in containment fall below ten, two instances are to be placed in a tank together for two weeks, allowing them to mate. Should any wild instances be discovered, MTF Sigma-13 ("Food Fighters") will be deployed to recover them and return to Site-77. As such, MTF Sigma-13 agents embedded in various national food safety regulatory bodies will routinely visit oyster farms under their jurisdiction that are known to raise eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) and are to confiscate any instances of SCP-3741 that they find. Under no circumstances should an instance of SCP-3741 be ingested. Access to SCP-3741 is restricted by the O5 Council, and a majority vote is required for authorized usage. Should an instance be consumed without express permission of the O5 Council, all responsible individuals are to be detained, interrogated, and amnesticized terminated. Any instances of SCP-3741-B that are not generated as a direct result of an O5 directive are to be amnesticized and issued a cover story to explain the effects of SCP-3741. Description: SCP-3741 is a phenomenon that is currently exhibited by 29 eastern oysters, but may extend to a small quantity of wild oysters. Instances can be differentiated from non-anomalous oysters due to a variety of biological traits, including functional immortality, dull pink meat, and physically identical dark shells.

In addition to biological deviations from non-anomalous eastern oysters, instances of SCP-3741 are known to induce a memetic effect when consumed by a subject, hereafter designated as SCP-3741-A. Upon ingestion, SCP-3741-A will become immediately aware of an acquisition of extensive knowledge on a specific topic. The nature of this knowledge varies between instances, but is always related to the desires of the SCP-3741-A instance. See Addendum 3741-B for details. upon two subjects when one of them ingests an instance. The person who ingested the SCP-3741 instance shall hereafter be referred to as SCP-3741-A, and the subsequent linked individual shall be referred to as SCP-3741-B. Through a poorly understood mechanism, a metaphysical link between the consciousness of SCP-3741-A and SCP-3741-B is established upon consumption of an SCP-3741 instance. This cognitive link allows for the transfer of memories and experiences from SCP-3741-B to SCP-3741-A. The information that is transferred and the given instance of SCP-3741-B directly relate to the thoughts, desires and curiosities of SCP-3741-A at the time of ingestion, and as such, SCP-3741-A can exert a degree of control over the effects of the anomaly. Addendum 3741-A: Discovery and Uncontained Effects SCP-3741 was discovered after Foundation agents embedded in the FDA were notified of an abnormal bloom of oysters at The Spat Shuckster's Oyster Farm in Kennebunkport, Maine. In response, the agents visited the farm and confiscated the oysters, logging them as an Anomalous Object under the designation AO-697837. During routine testing, the secondary anomalous properties were discovered, thus warranting an upgrade to SCP-3741 as a Thaumiel-class object. Upon discovery of the secondary anomalous properties of SCP-3741, multiple cases of SCP-3741-B instances were identified. The following is an abridged list detailing confirmed cases: Incident 3741-1 SCP-3741-A D-2452 SCP-3741-B Malcolm Young Result Mr. Young stepped down from his role as rhythm guitarist of Australian rock band "AC/DC" in 2014, citing dementia. It was later revealed that Young had forgotten how to play the guitar. The sudden onset of the disease coincides with Test 3741-13. As such, it is currently believed that D-2452 is responsible for Mr. Young's dementia. Incident 3741-2 SCP-3741-A D-2452 SCP-3741-B Michael McBrody, Site-77 Security Personnel Result Upon the conclusion of Test 3741-24, Officer McBrody was instructed to return D-2452 to their cell. While in transport to the Site-77 D-class containment block, D-2452 assaulted Officer McBrody with their restraints. This resulted in severe trauma to Officer McBrody's trachea, which was crushed in the altercation. Officer McBrody remained in the Site-77 intensive care unit for 6 weeks before being discharged in good health. It is believed that D-2452 had acquired Officer McBrody's hand-to-hand combat training in Test 3741-2. Addendum 3741-B: Test Log The following is an abridged list of tests involving SCP-3741. Please note that Tests 3741-1 and 3741-2 remain relatively unchanged. Test 3741-1 Subject D-2452, one instance of AO-697837 SCP-3741 Experiment D-2452 instructed to open and consume the instance. Results D-2452 opened and consumed the instance of AO-697837 SCP-3741, despite initial resistance due to the pink color of the flesh. D-2452 reported no abnormal taste, smell, or texture. Following the test, D-2452 reported an interest in music and requested an instrument. The request was denied. Test 3741-2 Subject D-2452, one instance of AO-697837 SCP-3741 Experiment D-2452 instructed to steam and ingest one instance of AO-697837 SCP-3741. Results D-2452 did as instructed and reported no abnormal taste, smell, or texture. Immediately following the conclusion of this test, D-2452 attempted to flee from Foundation custody by assaulting the security officer who was escorting them back to their cell. D-2452 was soon apprehended and terminated by on-site security and AO-697837 was subsequently upgraded to SCP-3741. Further testing has been suspended restricted to direct O5 approval. WARNING: THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS LEVEL 5/3741 CLASSIFIED ANY ATTEMPT TO ACCESS THIS INFORMATION WITHOUT LEVEL 5/3741 AUTHORIZATION WILL BE LOGGED AND WILL LEAD TO IMMEDIATE DISCIPLINARY ACTION. Addendum 3741-C: Log of O5 Directives The following is a log of O5 sanctioned applications of SCP-3741. O5 Directive 3741-1 SCP-3741-A O5-10 SCP-3741-B Dr. S. Mann Justification To test the efficacy of SCP-3741 in information recovery, and to better understand the anomalous biological nature of UAE-Brasil-78, which has since been neutralized by the Global Occult Coalition and confiscated by Marshall, Carter, and Dark, Ltd. Results Dr. Mann, a published researcher at the International Center for the Study of Unified Thaumatology (ICSUT), was confirmed to have dissected the entity in question. According to Foundation plants within ICSUT, Dr. Mann experienced an epileptic seizure while at his desk. Dr. Mann has since made a full recovery, but has been unable to recall the previous five years in their entirety. O5-10 was able to recall the details of the autopsy, as well as identify several MC&D items that have been derived from the corpse of the entity. O5 Directive 3741-2 SCP-3741-A Α-1, MTF Alpha-1 ("Red Right Hand") SCP-3741-B Director E. Strauss, Site-77 Ethics Committee Liaison Justification To ensure the continued secrecy of all future O5 directives regarding SCP-3741. Results Α-1 was interviewed after ingestion and confirmed their acquisition of knowledge of O5 usage of SCP-3741. Α-1 was administered Class-A amnestics and allowed to resume their duties. Director Strauss failed to report to Site-19 for an emergency Ethics Committee meeting after the administration of Directive 3741-2. A brief investigation into her disappearance revealed that she had experienced a stroke while commuting to Site-19, resulting in a high speed collision that ejected her from the vehicle. Director Strauss was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3742 | safe | Item #: SCP-3742 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3742 is currently stored in a soundproofed chamber in the Low Security Research Medium Security Storage Wing (E-Wing) of Storage Site-64. The containment chamber is equipped with its own isolated power source and a closed-circuit surveillance system with independent audio and video recording equipment for experimental monitoring. Any and all audio recordings of SCP-3742 are to be destroyed following experimental procedures except by direct approval of both the Project Director1 and Site Director Holman. SCP-3742-1 and the soundproofing of the containment chamber should be inspected monthly for damage, which must be repaired prior to the next scheduled experiment as soon as possible. As such, experiments must be scheduled at least one month in advance Experimentation is currently suspended; personnel with proper clearance may consult Addendum 3742-3 for more information. For experimentation In the event that further experimentation is authorized, subjects with the following conditions will be disqualified from testing consideration: History of (or predisposition to) drug/alcohol addiction Epilepsy or other sensory disorders Obsessive behaviors Immunosuppressive disorders Subjects previously exposed to other anomalous musical phenomena Subjects must be approved by the Project Director on a case-by-case basis. Subjects with documented resistance to addictive and/or compulsive behaviors are considered to be best suited for SCP-3742 experimentation. Following testing, subjects should be administered Class-B amnestics and monitored to prevent accidental exposure to any music originating from the non-anomalous version of SCP-3742. If exposure to such music is suspected, subjects should be recalled, administered Class-D amnestics, and isolated from all musical media. Procedures calling for the deafening of former subjects in addition to administration of Class-B amnestics are currently under review by the Ethics Committee. When not in use, SCP-3742-1 is to remain unpowered with its tonearm removed and placed in a secure locker in the control booth accessible by the Project Director. Any personnel inside the chamber during testing should remain outside SCP-3742’s radius of effect (marked on the floor of the chamber) and apply hearing protection. In the event of an emergency, power to the containment chamber should be cut from the control booth prior to entering the chamber. Should SCP-3742 become detached from SCP-3742-1 under any circumstances, it is to be stored in a high-security vault until a replacement can be found for SCP-3742-1; at such time SCP-3742 should be immediately replaced with side one facing up. Under no circumstances is side two of SCP-3742 to be played to completion should it become possible to do so. In the event that additional instances of SCP-3742 are discovered2, they should be stored collectively in a high security vault at Storage Site-64. + Level 4 Clearance Required - Close In the occurrence of a suspected UMMAGUMMA Event, MTF Sigma-21 (“Mosh Pit”) is to be deployed to enact Protocol 3742-Encore. Description: SCP-3742 is a vinyl LP record physically identical to the first issue of Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon (UK catalogue number SHVL 804), which was released in the US on 1 March, 1973 and in the UK on 16 March, 1973. Visually, the only difference between SCP-3742 and a non-anomalous version of the album is its labeling, with SCP-3742’s production being attributed to "Perispirit Records". This labeling is consistent between the LP sleeve and the record itself, with album art otherwise unchanged from the original. An insert found in the LP sleeve indicates a link between Perispirit Records and GoI-███ [Marshall, Carter & Dark, LLP]; the full insert can be read below (see Addendum 3742-1A). Microscopic analysis of the object indicates that it possesses a groove structure functionally identical (>99%) to a non-anomalous copy of the album. However, SCP-3742 seems to be immune to most forms of physical damage and is anomalously attached to the turntable on which it was recovered (designated SCP-3742-1), such that it cannot be removed by means other than the destruction of SCP-3742-1. The label on the disc itself shows similar resistance to damage, though the sleeve and the insert found within do not. The primary anomalous effect of SCP-3742 manifests when power is supplied to SCP-3742-1 and its stylus is brought into contact with SCP-3742. Regardless of the physical location of the stylus on the disc, SCP-3742 will begin to play as if from the beginning of the album. Subjects who hear sound broadcast from SCP-3742-1 and any supplementary speakers will experience a mild compulsion to approach SCP-3742-1, often complaining of symptoms such as headache, nausea, and disorientation. After playing the entirety of track one, Speak to Me (approximately 1:30 in length), all subjects within a 6 meter radius of SCP-3742-1 will disappear near-instantaneously, along with any object in the possession of a subject. This effect is not modified by changing the volume of SCP-3742-1 or any supplementary speakers; however, individuals who lack the ability to hear and/or comprehend SCP-3742 (such as animals or deaf persons) are not subject to SCP-3742’s effects. Individuals who enter into the radius of effect at any time after the initial disappearance event will also disappear after approximately ten seconds, provided enough time remains on side one of the album. Subjects will remain absent until side one is played to completion, reappearing in a similar fashion to their disappearance approximately one minute after the conclusion of track five, The Great Gig in the Sky (approximately 18:56-19:51 after initial activation). Upon reappearance, a majority of subjects exhibit symptoms of drug and/or alcohol intoxication, with overdose symptoms observed in █% of subjects. Post-experimental blood tests have confirmed these symptoms are non-anomalous in nature. While drugs such as alcohol, nicotine, and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are the most common intoxicating agents, more dangerous narcotics have been detected in the systems of some subjects; notable examples include LSD, heroin, and in one case traces of SCP-███. After the disappearance of any listeners, remote observers will comprehend sound being broadcast from SCP-3742-1 as a continuous loop of the three second “screaming” intro to track two, Breathe (in the Air) (which lasts from 1:30-1:33 in the non-anomalous version). Audio recordings of this phenomenon will also display this property, which continues for the duration of side one. Removal of the stylus from SCP-3742 will cause immediate cessation of all anomalous phenomena, rendering the radius of effect safe to enter. Replacing the stylus, regardless of physical location, will cause SCP-3742 to resume from the point at which the stylus was removed; thus, the album cannot be restarted until the completion of side one. Individuals listening to audio recordings of SCP-3742 do not report symptoms of direct exposure to the anomaly, but a majority of individuals express mild to serious discomfort after approximately one minute of listening; subjects with close relations to listeners exhibit the strongest symptoms of such. Subjects who disappear under the effect of SCP-3742 are (or believe themselves to be) transported to a live performance of the album in an as-yet unknown venue (designated SCP-3742-2). As many of these subjects become intoxicated while present in SCP-3742-2, specific details of subjects’ experiences are highly variable, and instructions given to subjects prior to entry are rarely followed correctly, if at all. While a more reliable method of exploring SCP-3742-2 would be preferred, electronic equipment ceases to function correctly within SCP-3742-2. Attempts to utilize film-based and instant-print cameras to collect data have also failed, as images and video taken within SCP-3742-2 seem to experience high levels of radiation corruption upon the reappearance of the listener; such images and video are anomalously watermarked with the following message: “This Perispirit Personal Concert is best enjoyed firsthand. The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of this Perispirit Personal Concert Experience™ is illegal. Criminal copyright infringement, including infringement without monetary gain, is punishable by law in the US, UK, and Three Portlands (under the provisions of the Hoover Mandate).” If the stylus is removed from SCP-3742, subjects within SCP-3742-2 report a variety of technical difficulties necessitating a pause in the concert until the playback of SCP-3742 is resumed. The longest period of stylus removal during an experimental playback was one week; upon recovery, subject showed signs of severe dehydration but was successfully rehabilitated and estimated the concert resumed after approximately two hours. At the conclusion of side one, subjects report the band retiring backstage for an intermission just prior to returning from SCP-3742-2. After recovering from any symptoms of intoxication and malnutrition, previously exposed subjects experience a strong compulsion to return to SCP-3742-2 in order to experience the remainder of the concert (an impossibility due to SCP-3742's anomalous properties). The inability to satisfy this urge causes agitation in subjects without advanced mental fortitude training, leading to obsessive reuse of SCP-3742 (which is often exacerbated by addiction to various drugs apparently available within SCP-3742-2). Amnestics have been determined to be only partially successful in eliminating this compulsion, as exposure to music from the album can induce mnestic recall of interactions with SCP-3742. This occurs in all subjects, including those trained to resist SCP-3742's compulsive effects, and causes a resurgence in compulsive behavior. After each mnestic recall event, more potent amnestics are required to suppress symptoms of SCP-3742 exposure. The root cause of this compulsion is currently under investigation; however, data collected since recovery have indicated that the nature of SCP-3742's creation, which is not currently understood, contributes (at least in part) to this compulsion. SCP-3742 was recovered in June of 1974 from the residence of one James Q. █████, an amateur music critic and collector of records, on the Isle of Portland, England, UK. Police were sent to investigate the residence after complaints of a “deathly stench” emanating from the residence were filed by neighbors; the Foundation was notified through contacts in the FBI’s Unusual Incidents Unit (UIU) when a student ID from Deer College belonging to Mr. █████ was found. SCP-3742 was discovered when the stylus of SCP-3742-1 was brought back into contact with the record by UIU investigators, resulting in the reappearance of Mr. █████ approximately ten seconds later. █████ was transferred to Foundation custody and interviewed, during which time it was determined he had purchased the album from “3P LP’s”, a now-defunct record shop in Three Portlands on 14/11/1973. After repeated excursions into SCP-3742-2, █████ had become trapped when the stylus of SCP-3742-1 was removed from SCP-37423. During the extended blackout SCP-3742-2 experienced during this period, █████ reported using thaumaturgic techniques he learned at Deer College to create sustenance for himself and several audience members. Through internal contacts the Foundation was notified of an ongoing, but unrelated, UIU investigation into the "3P LPs" record shop and its owner, Roy ████, which allowed for researchers to secure an interview with Mr. ████ (see Addendum 3742-1B). SCP-3742 was transferred to Storage Site-64 two weeks after recovery. Addendum 3742-1: Relation to GOI-███ [Marshall, Carter & Dark, LLP] + Section A: Insert Recovered from SCP-3742 Album Sleeve - Close Description: The following was printed on a paper insert from the LP sleeve of SCP-3742. The insert was watermarked with the logo of GOI-███ [Marshall, Carter & Dark, LLP]. A promotional message was printed on the front side of the insert, while what appears to be an internal or personal memo was handwritten on the reverse; illegible sections of the memo are marked as such.

Field Agent Gardner was able to secure the interview prior to the release of Mr. ████. <Begin Log> Agent Gardner: Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. ████. I promise this will not take long. ████: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s what the feds told me when they cuffed me two days ago. But I guess there’s not much I can do to get out of this, seein' as I ain’t got a lawyer with me. Agent Gardner: I assure you, Mr. ████, that this is not a criminal investigation. Even if I did know why the FBI took you into custody, none of my questions today are related to…whatever it is you did or didn’t do. ████: Oh, great. I feel so much better now that I have the w— Agent Gardner (interjecting): Let’s get down to business then. Do you recognize this? [Agent Gardner places the sleeve of SCP-3742 in front of Mr. ████] ████: What kinda question is that? Of course I recognize it! It’s only the hottest selling mundane album in Three Portlands. I guess ya need me to say it for the record? Agent Gardner: No, I don’t think that will be necessary. But it seems you misunderstood my question; do you recognize this specific copy? ████: [Brief pause as ████ examines the sleeve] Hmmm…yeah, I think I do, but why does it matter? I mean, it’s just a misprint, ain’t it? Perispirit [Records] only distributes records. They don't make their own, not for a normal band like Floyd…I didn’t make it, if that’s what you’re asking. I’m too mundane for that. Agent Gardner: How did you come across it then, if you didn’t make it? ████: Well…y’see I uhhh…[████ pauses for thirty seconds in apparent contemplation]. Agent Gardner: Mr. ████, please answer the question. ████: Meh…fine, what the hell. The feds already know this part; I bought it from some guy on the black market. Don’t remember who, and he didn’t say where he got it. He was selling it with a demo tape he…came across for this new act from ‘Frisco. Package deal, otherwise I probably woulda passed it up; I’d heard Floyd plenty, but that ‘Frisco band sounded good. Had some potential, I th—- Agent Gardner: So you never played the record that came in this case specifically? ████: Well…no. Not that specific record. Disc looked good so I just put it in a case and forgot about it for about…two months. Ended up selling it to some schmuck from Deer [College] for something like…twenty bucks extra? Deeries6 are always so gullible. Agent Gardner: Do you remember the name of the person who bought the record? ████: His name's a bit fuzzy, but I wish I could forget his annoying voice. James…James something. Scrawny guy, real pale, bucktoothed. Had some kinda British accent I guess, so I figured he was from the Isle [of Portland]. Said he wanted to be a music critic, but most of the things I heard this kid say about music were [EXPLETIVE REDACTED]. Pardon my French. Agent Gardner: So you have no idea where this record came from? And you had never played it before selling it to Mr. ████? ████: Yep. Scout’s honor [████ holds up hand in a mock salute]. Am I free to go now? Agent Gardner: One last thing, Mr. ████. Your previous comments indicate you have prior knowledge of Perispirit Records as a record label. What do you know about them? ████: Well I should hope I know about my biggest supplier of what you guys'd refer to as "anomalous" music. Perispirit is a Three Portlands-based label. They got a few acts signed to 'em, but like I said earlier their main deal is distributing "mundane" music into Three Portlands; they pretty much got a monopoly on that, which made them the biggest pain in my ass before my run-in with the feds… Agent Gardner: Could you elaborate? ████: Well, to cover the "costs" of importing music from outside, Perispirit jacks their wholesale prices through the [EXPLETIVE REDACTED] roof. I'm just happy demand is as high as it is, or I wouldn't be makin' any money! Word on the street is that Perispirit is run by some…bigger fish. And if the rumors are to be believed, those markups are pretty much par for the course. Agent Gardner: What are these rumors about, exactly? ████: About who's running them, of course! Even the schmucks in U-I-Useless know that MC&D have had their dirty hands in Three Portlands for just as long as the [Chicago] Spirit did. Maybe even longer…[████ shows visible discomfort]…n-not that I'd know anything 'bout that… Agent Gardner: Of course not…Well then. Thank you, Mr. ████. I wish you luck in your affairs with the FBI. ████: Heh. Too late for that… <End Log> Closing Statement: One week after the conclusion of the interview, a massive UIU sting operation led to the arrest of several leading members of the Three Portlands black market. Because of this, the Foundation has been unable to further trace the origins of SCP-3742. Mr. ████ subsequently enrolled in the FBI’s anomalous witness protection program and has not been seen since; the 3P LP’s record shop was repossessed by UIU after their operation. - Close + [LEVEL 3/3742 CLEARANCE REQUIRED: ENTER CREDENTIALS] - ACCESS GRANTED.

Affected sections will be marked with ((double parentheses)). — Maria Jones, Director, RAISA Interviewed: Mr. James █████, Owner of SCP-3742 Interviewer: Field Agent Roger Palmer Foreword: Agent Palmer was responsible for the return of Mr. █████ from SCP-3742-2. █████ was released from Foundation medical custody after █ days, having been treated for malnutrition and drug intoxication. As subject continued to experience compulsion to resume listening to SCP-3742, a mild tranquilizer was administered to the subject, who was also restrained physically during the interview. Preliminary testing accomplished by this point had revealed the basic nature of SCP-3742’s anomalous effects. <Begin Log> Agent Palmer: Are we feeling better today, James? █████: Oh of course sir. Feelin’ quite a lot better indeed. A-almost perfect…’cept…'cept I still wish I coulda seen the rest o’ that concert… Agent Palmer: Perhaps we’ll be able to help you, but first I’d like to ask you some questions about your…experience. █████: Sounds fine to me. Though…it’s all rather…fuzzy to me right now… Agent Palmer: Not to worry. Just answer as best you can. First, when did you first realize the album you purchased affected you as it did? █████: I found out the first time I played it. Prob'ly ‘bout…wait…what day is it again? I first played it the day I bought it, so that would be…I-I can’t rightly remember, sir… Agent Palmer: Not to worry, we can figure that much out. No need to strain yourself. Next question: when did you last begin to play the album? █████: Well…let’s see here…I-I think it was a Tuesday…kinda lost track…been a while since I slept…started hearin' the music in my sleep…but…I really would like to try flippin’ the record over. Please sir, I really th—- Agent Palmer: James, we’ll do our best to help you, but I must complete this interview first. So, you can’t remember when you last started playing the record? █████: I’m 'fraid not sir…s-sorry. Agent Palmer: It’s quite alright. So, as I understand it, whenever you played this album you were transported to a live performance of the album. Is this correct? █████: Yeah! It’s the best concert I’ve ever experienced. I mean soon as I got there, I was jus' blown away. You really won’t know what I’m talking ‘bout ‘till you try it out for yourself! Agent Palmer: I’m afraid I’m not very fond of that genre of music. █████: Well, suit yourself. I think you’d like it if you gave it a try, but who am I to say? Agent Palmer: Moving on. As I’m sure you’ve been told, something happened during that last playback that caused the stylus to be removed from the record while you were…gone. █████: So that was it? [█████ chuckles] Must’ve been my cat, Pudge. He can be a real bastard sometimes, ‘specially when he’s hungry. Agent Palmer: Noted. While you were…gone…did you notice anything out of the ordinary compared to your other…sessions? For example…any suspicious persons in the audience? █████: Well…I…I don’t remember much ‘bout the audience. I was gettin’ high with some Americans I’d taken a liking to during my previous listenings…((but…a-actually, come to think of it…I seem to remember seein’ some strange folks in what looked like…well…prison suits. Didn’t think much of it at the time, but the symbols they wore looked quite like the one on your badge…)) ((Agent Palmer: Indeed? Strange. Do you recall how many?)) ((█████: Can’t rightly say, sir. Like I said, I was really quite intoxicated at the time…)) Agent Palmer: ((Well, that’s certainly understandable. Perhaps it was simply a trick of your memory.))What about any unusual occurrences? █████: Ah, yes. That’s where all the trouble started. Right before the end of the last song, the power cut out. They worked a long time to fix it, but none of us were allowed to leave. It lasted for…what felt like a couple of days. Eventually the drugs ran out, ‘n I had to resort to…s-summoning rituals for food…Least I got to put my education to good use, I s'pose. Then…after…a-after Lord knows how long, the power came back on, they finished the set, then went backstage for an intermission…A-an' that’s when I came back to my parlor. Agent Palmer: I see…I think that will be all, James. █████: Great! I can’t wait to get back there…I think I know a way I might be able to get the record flipped over…if I can just… Agent Palmer: Doctor? If you could please escort Mr. █████ back to his room… █████: Wait, my room? I…I thought you were going to help me see the rest of the concert?

((Experimentation is planned to ascertain the possible presence of D-Class personnel inside SCP-3742-2.)) - ACCESS GRANTED. PLEASE LOG OUT WHEN FINISHED + [LEVEL 4/3742 CLEARANCE REQUIRED: ENTER CREDENTIALS] - WELCOME COMMANDER BELL. PLEASE LOG OUT WHEN FINISHED Addendum 3742-3: Procedure 3742-Encore The following is an abbreviated briefing given to personnel of MTF Sigma-21 ("Mosh Pit") regarding Procedure 3742-Encore. Full briefing is available to MTF Command personnel on a need-to-know basis. Background: UMMAGUMMA Events In 2004, a Trans-Reality Information Consistency (TRIC) program developed by the Foundation Records and Information Security Administration (RAISA) flagged an interview log attached to the document as having been subject to trans-reality modification. Usually indicative of a CK-Class Reality Restructuring Event, the data was flagged following the successful conclusion of an experiment in which a group of D-Class personnel were instructed to ascertain the presence of Mr. James █████ (the initial owner of SCP-3742) within SCP-3742-2, supporting an emergent hypothesis that SCP-3742 is temporally recursive in nature. After additional directed testing, researchers concluded that SCP-3742 does in fact utilize a limited form of temporal recursion to transport subjects to SCP-3742-2. Furthermore, based on available data, there is a distinct possibility that subjects are not successfully recalled from SCP-3742-2 following the conclusion of side two of the album. By implication, any complete playthrough of side two of SCP-3742 constitutes an irreversible temporal recursion event, which could have drastic effects on present reality including, but not limited to, one or more of the following: CK-Class Reality Restructuring Scenario XK-Class End-of-the-World Scenario ZK-Class Reality Failure Scenario The incursion of subjects affected by SCP-3742 or analogous anomalies into an alternate point in time has since been designated as an UMMAGUMMA Event. As of the writing of this document, ██ UMMAGUMMA Events are thought to have occurred. Due to the wide-ranging and unpredictable effects of these events, Procedure 3742-Encore was developed as a countermeasure pending research into trans-temporal containment options. PROCEDURE 3742-ENCORE: Development On ██/██/2007, Experiment 3742/T was authorized by the O5 Council. The objective of the experiment was to test the effect of actions on the part of individuals within SCP-3742-2 on the progression of baseline reality. Test subjects were provided with era-appropriate clothing and alternate identities to minimize the chance of major reality alterations. Subjects were also implanted with capsules programmed to administer Class-D amnestics in case of failure to return from SCP-3742-2. Experimentation log included below. TRIAL # INSTRUCTIONS EFFECTS NOTES 3742/T/1 D-66984 instructed to exit SCP-3742-2 after arriving. Subject was unable to complete task; reported severe disorientation and vertigo when approaching apparent exits. Matches data from previous experiments. TRIC programs indicate no notable effect on current reality. 3742/T/2 D-55845 instructed to rush the stage of SCP-3742-2. SCP-3742’s effect ceased prematurely (approx. 7 minutes), resulting in immediate return of D-55845 to containment chamber. Subject reported returning when she was an estimated 3m from the stage. Likely another “copyright protection” measure. Subjects appear to be unable to affect performers directly. TRIC programs indicate no notable effect on current reality. 3742/T/3 D-96152 provided with a 9mm pistol (unloaded), instructed to approach security with gun held to head.7 SCP-3742’s effect ceased prematurely (10 minutes), returning D-96152 just as [DATA EXPUNGED]. Subject confirmed deceased, having acquired ammunition within SCP-3742-2 by unknown means. D-96152’s death, while regrettable, indicates that severe injury triggers a premature ceasure of SCP-3742’s effect. TRIC programs indicate no notable effect on current reality. 3742/T/4 D-44589 instructed to proceed to balcony seating inside SCP-3742-2 and push a spectator from the railing. Tonearm of SCP-3742-1 spontaneously deflected off SCP-3742 after 15 minutes. Subject not returned. Replacing the tonearm of SCP-3742-1 caused SCP-3742 to play from beginning. TRIC programs indicate trans-reality information modification in multiple online sources pertaining to the concert. Following Experiment 3742/T/4, Foundation TRIC webcrawlers flagged information regarding a Pink Floyd concert in ███████, NY, USA on ██/██/1973. The new information described an incident in which a spectator fell from the upper level seating of the venue and killed the person on which they landed, resulting in a premature end to the concert. Not only did this experiment successfully identify the historical location of SCP-3742-2, but it also confirmed that UMMAGUMMA Events could be neutralized by actions taken within an affected performance by individuals present under temporally normal circumstances. Simply put, the only way to stop an UMMAGUMMA Event is to disrupt any affected concerts in real time. Thus, Procedure 3742-Encore was developed and approved by the Ethics Committee after two weeks of debate. Procedure 3742-Encore: Instructions Procedure 3742-Encore is to be carried out by members of MTF Sigma-21 ("Mosh Pit"). The Foundation, in collaboration with the UIU, has established a system which monitors major musical events in the US, Canada, UK, and European Union8 for suspected UMMAGUMMA Events. Regardless of the apparent danger posed by individual temporal intruders, each UMMAGUMMA Event must be neutralized as quickly as possible by forcing a premature conclusion to the performance in which they manifest. Measures required to fully neutralize an UMMAGUMMA Event change with the circumstances of each manifestation; because of this, MTF Sigma-21 is to be given complete tactical authority over the tactical measures of Procedure 3742-Encore. Though options which minimize collateral damage and/or media exposure are preferred, the Ethics Committee has ruled that any and all measures found necessary by field personnel will have the full support and approval of the Foundation. Once an UMMAGUMMA Event is successfully neutralized, intruding subjects which are not automatically returned to their temporal points of origin should be effectively “locked” in the present, allowing standard containment measures to be enacted. MTF Sigma-21 will then coordinate with other Foundation assets to contain any remaining temporal intruders and/or other related anomalies. Regardless of anomalous capabilities, all temporal intruders are to be treated as provisional anomalies by field personnel and interaction with temporal intruders should be minimized until the stable progression of local time can be confirmed. Since the development of Procedure 3742-Encore, █ UMMAGUMMA Events have been successfully neutralized. It is predicted that at least one of these events would have led to a ZK-Class Reality Failure Scenario. - WELCOME COMMANDER BELL.

TASK FORCE COMMAND NETWORK ------ Welcome, Commander Bell. ------ NEW MESSAGE RECEIVED: [ADDRESS REDACTED] <Display Message> Commander, As I’m sure you are aware, you have assumed your new post in the wake of Sigma-21’s worst failure to date. Your previous command experience (as well as your previous deployments with “Mosh Pit”) will serve you well in this capacity I’m sure. Once you're done reading up on the anomalies for which your unit is responsible, I have a new task for you. As you know, these recent months have seen a huge increase in UMMAGUMMA Events; however, a recent intelligence breakthrough has shed some light on what seems to be the cause (outlined in the attached document, obtained by MTF Mu-3). Unfortunately, this means that UMMAGUMMA Events won't be slowing down any time soon; given the apparent string of "missed" events, you'll probably be seeing even more action than you were with Asimov's Lawbringers. Rest assured, researchers are trying to find a more permanent solution, but it’s up to you and the “Mosh Pit” to contain them until then. Good luck, Commander. You’re going to need it. Secure. Contain. Protect. O5-4 P.S: During the investigation of your predecessor, a flagged document was found in his office. The non-anomalous version has been attached for your review. I had to override several protocols in order to clear you for this, but I thought you should be aware of some of the dangers of temporal recursion.

SCP-3743-A-1 and -2 are to be under constant electronic surveillance. Any individuals arriving through either anomaly are to be detained, interrogated and potentially amnesticized.1 The Foundation has purchased the York Art Gallery and the land containing SCP-3743-A-1, closing them off from public access. Armed agents are to be stationed nearby on rotating shifts. Any movement towards either anomaly is to be impeded by the joint task force under the auspices of Project Hecatoncheires. Interferent thaumaturgical charms are to be placed around both anomalies to prevent their use. Members of MTF-Beta-777 (“Hecate’s Spear”)2 shall evaluate the effectiveness of the charms every month. Description: SCP-3743 is a series of interconnected anomalies with ties to a Hellenistic-era cult known as the "Many Hands Society" (rough translation). SCP-3743-A-1 is a thaumaturgically powered portal3 to an extradimensional space found within the greater Yorkshire area. SCP-3743-A-1 is located in a wooded area approximately two kilometers from Site-91’s perimeter. SCP-3743-A-1 is constructed with branches from the immediate area and thaumaturgically linked to an icon of Eros found hanging nearby. Single structure found within SCP-3743-B. SCP-3743-B is a finite extra-dimensional space resembling the arid plains of Greece, measuring roughly eighty-eight square kilometers. Located within the boundaries of SCP-3743-B is a solitary man-made structure constructed from mud bricks, sitting atop a stone block foundation. The structure resembles the construction methods of the Hellenistic-era of ancient Greece. Due to thaumic pollution and relatively high levels of Akiva radiation present within SCP-3743-B, photographs invariably develop without any color present. SCP-3743-A-1, when activated, using thaumaturgical techniques common to Group of Interest ALPHA-019 (“Serpent’s Hand”), allows for transportation to SCP-3743-B. Discovery: Routine reconnaissance around Site-91 by security personnel revealed SCP-3743-A-1 on 13 August, 1992. Members of MTF-Beta-777 examined the area and found the aforementioned icon to Eros. Concerned that the anomaly represented an attempted incursion into Site-91, Captain Zadeh of MTF-Beta-777 requested reinforcement from MTF-Tau-9 (“Bookworms”) as said MTF focuses on anomalies related to the Library and the Serpent’s Hand. Lieutenant Gilroy Laguerre4 of Tau-9 analyzed SCP-3743-A-1 and confirmed that it was an active Way leading to an extradimensional space. The proximity of the Way to Site-91 was ruled to be a clear and present danger. On 15 August, 1992, Director Varga ordered an joint task force exploration into SCP-3743-A-1. ▷ Exploration log of SCP-3743-B 15/08/1992 Close File Exploration Log of SCP-3743-B by joint task force from MTF-Beta-777 and MTF-Tau-9. Thaumaturgically active icon linked to SCP-3743-A-1, found hanging nearby. Personnel Mobilized: Captain Sahara Zadeh, Sergeant Maria Waltham,5 Sergeant Gabriel Merced, Lieutenant Gilroy Laguerre, Sergeant Mark Kenoshi. Accompanied by Agent Rebekah Douglas, Level-3 psychometrist.6 Command: Dr. Jocasta Rossi on comms Preamble: Members of MTF-Beta-777 and MTF-Tau-9, along with Agent Douglas, will enter the Way designated as SCP-3743-A-1 and gather intelligence from the extra-dimensional space (designated SCP-3743-B) beyond. Captain Sahara Zadeh will have field command. Members of joint task force approach SCP-3743-A-1. Zadeh: Check your weapons and body cameras. All present confirm their arms and comms units. Douglas: What’s that? Approaches the icon of Eros. Laguerre: It's linked to the Way. Douglas: Do we need this? Why not destroy it? Laguerre: Don’t know what effect that would have. It’s possible the icon is connected to the ritual that made the Way. Dr. Rossi transmits from Site-91. Dr. Rossi: Also, we are not in the business of destroying anomalous artifacts if we can help it, Agent Douglas. Agent Douglas makes an indecipherable sound. Rossi: What was that? Douglas: It was a “grumble,” Doctor. Waltham chokes back a laugh. Zadeh sighs. Rossi: Agent Douglas, if you’re done making jokes, I’d like you to try and read the icon. Douglas: Laguerre, you think it’s safe to touch? Laguerre: My official answer? I have no idea. Unofficially? I’m willing to risk it. Let Sergeant Waltham and I shield you from any hidden countermeasures. Waltham nods at Douglas and places a hand on her shoulder. Laguerre stands on Douglas’s other side and also places a hand on her shoulder. Both hold their free hands in front of their mouths and whisper indecipherably. Douglas lowers herself to her knees and wraps her fingers from both hands around the icon. For approximately sixty seconds Douglas is silent, then she opens her eyes and releases the icon. She stands to her feet and brushes clean her jeans. Douglas: This has only been here a day or two, the impression is incredibly fresh. I can’t say who placed it… I can tell you the blood is human. Someone in incredible pain. Zadeh: Someone still alive? Douglas: Maybe, there’s not much blood. The pain seems less like immediate trauma and more like a disability? Like it’s a constant and persistent pain. Pain that colors your perception over the long term. Rossi: How can you tell? Douglas: [snorts] Look, I know you’re new to the Site. But this is what I do. Rossi: For the record, please. Douglas: Underlying sense of frustration and disillusionment with the world at large. This is someone who’s been in pain for a long time. Zadeh: Let’s get back on mission, folks. Lieutenant, if you please. Laguerre walks towards SCP-3743-A-1 and paces around three quarters of the circle before crossing it, then turning and repeating in reverse. The Way opens, appearing to be a glowing pool of light on the ground within the wooden circle of the anomaly. Laguerre: It'll only stay open for a few moments, so let’s not dawdle. Laguerre enters the Way, followed by the other five members of the expedition. Upon entering, video feeds from personnel cut off immediately. Dr. Rossi: Zadeh, we’ve lost all video feeds from your team. Confirm your status? Fifteen seconds of static follow from this request. Zadeh: Confirmed, we’ve all made it through. Something strange about the air here. Feels charged with static electricity, but with thaumaturgy. Readings of significantly higher Akiva radiation as well. Are you receiving? Dr. Rossi: Partially: we have voice coming through with some artifacting, but no video. Zadeh: Shall we proceed? Dr. Rossi: Yes, please provide regular updates. Zadeh: Understood. Rossi: Describe your surroundings, please. Kenoshi: It’s definitely not the Library. Waltham: It’s a dry plain, like a desert but mostly rocks and dirt… not like the Sahara. Zadeh snorts a laugh before speaking. Zadeh: Reminds me of arid plains in Greece, or maybe the high desert in Southern California. Waltham: There’s nothing here other than a bronze circle roughly ten meters in diameter, sunken into the ground. There's script engraved into the outer edge of the ring. Kenoshi: It’s Old Attic, an Ancient Greek dialect in use in and around the Athens area until late fifth century BCE. Rossi: Can any of you read it? Kenoshi: I can, mostly. It’s a repetition of a single two-sentence phrase. Rossi: What does it say? Kenoshi: This is rough, but it says: “Behold the land of the Hundred Handed. Here there be Titans.” Douglas: Ominous. Rossi: Agent Douglas, do you think this is connected to GoI-8832?7 Almost sixty seconds of silence. Douglas: Hard to say for sure. Possibly. If it’s not, then it’ll be a hell of a coincidence. Waltham: Do you hear that, Doctor? Rossi: Nothing other than your voices. Describe the sound, please. Waltham: Distant ringing of a bell, high pitch I think. Hard to say where it’s coming from. Rossi: Making mention in the log. Anything else of note? Merced: There’s a boundary here. The plain we can see is only a few dozen kilometers before a wall of mist or fog impedes all view. Rossi: Right well, try to take notes of anything distinctive. Zadeh: Alright, let’s head out. Keep your eyes peeled for anything moving. Extraneous thirty minutes of audio omitted. Zadeh: Coming up on structure of some sort, Command. Rossi: Describe it? Zadeh: Still a half click out, but it looks white and multiple stories. Rossi: Proceed. Extraneous ten minutes of audio omitted. Kenoshi: We’re closer now, Command. Looks like it’s whitewashed mud bricks. Three stories, lots of curves. Almost looks like an ant hill. Lots of doors, and a few stone staircases on the exterior. Rossi: Still no contact with any people? Douglas: None. It’s eerily quiet. Not even any wind. The bell is louder though. Zadeh: Okay, we’re going to breach. Kenoshi and Douglas with me on the right side of the first floor. Laguerre, Merced and Waltham on the left. Stay in contact. Let’s go. Extraneous three minutes of audio omitted. Zadeh: Command, the structure appears empty. At least over here. Laguerre, anything? Laguerre: It’s clearly been lived in. Wood stove and sleeping bags. The stove is still warm. Negative contact though. Zadeh: Same here. Let’s clear the other floors before we start looking around. Extraneous seventeen minutes of audio omitted. MTF members clear the structure and find none of the occupants. Items found included over twenty sleeping bags, three portable wooden stoves, cooking supplies, some electric lights on extension cords plugged into anomalous power sources, and a small library of scrolls. Rossi: When you say “anomalous” power source, what do you mean? Merced: Looks organic, like polyps on coral, all built one on the other. There’s at least eight of them, and the plugs for the stringed lighting are plugged directly into an organic “socket.” They each stand maybe a meter in height. Rossi: Can you take one back with you? Zadeh: Let’s belay that, for now. No sense letting the locals know someone is messing with their house while they’re away. Douglas: Kenoshi, you said you read Greek right? Kenoshi: Yeah, I'm proficient but not an expert. Why do you ask? Douglas: The scrolls I've seen are all covered in the same script as the bronze ring when we entered this place. Second floor, towards the front of the building on the right. Come take a look? Kenoshi: Just a mo. Extraneous five minutes of audio omitted. Zadeh: Found the bell. It's in the upper most chamber. It's just ringing constantly. Command, you can’t hear that? Rossi: Negative, Captain Zadeh. Zadeh: Very fucking weird. Rossi: Is there a mechanism powering the bell? Zadeh: Well, sort of. One of those polyp generators is here and it's connected by biological material to a sigil above the bell. Bell itself is only ten centimeters in height, but it's not typical brass. Pretty sure this is beryllium bronze. More sigils etched into its surface. Rossi: Any idea what the purpose is? Zadeh: Could be an alarm we tripped by coming through the Way, or it could be very annoying music. I have no idea. Rossi: I assume interfering with it would be a bad idea? Zadeh: Given I have no idea what it does, yes, I’d say it’s a bad idea. Kenoshi has rendezvoused with Douglas near the scroll library. Kenoshi: What have you got here? Sounds of rustling paper for a few moments. Kenoshi: Holy shit, these are old. Wait… they don’t feel old though. Rossi: What do you mean? Kenoshi: The parchment seems almost new. Although I don’t think I've ever handled actual new parchment. Rossi: Why did you say they were old? Kenoshi: The Greek these are written in, it's contemporaneous with the script on the bronze ring at our entry point. Why would someone transcribe Ancient Greek so painstakingly onto new parchment? Rossi: Can you read them? Kenoshi: Not easily, I’m going to suggest we take a few so I can study and translate back at base. Rossi: Good idea. Agent Douglas, were you able to read anything off these scrolls? Douglas: They’ve been handled recently but that’s about it. Extraneous five minutes of audio deleted. Merced: You’re all going to want to come out here. Zadeh: Out where? Merced: Lieutenant Laguerre and I came around the back of the structure and we found something. Zadeh: What? Laguerre: Better just come and see. Kenoshi, you too. Kenoshi: Okay, let me store these scrolls in a protective container. Be right out. The six MTF members gather together, presumably behind the building. Douglas: What is it? Zadeh: A cave of some sort? Rossi: Please describe what you're seeing. Merced: It’s a hillside, fairly low, behind the structure. In the hillside is a recession with a large stone block over the entrance. The opening is man-made, reinforced with small stone blocks. Kenoshi: More to the point, the large rock over the entrance is a stele. Rossi: A what? Kenoshi: Stone slab, usually upright, with some sort of commemorative relief or a message inscribed. This has more Ancient Greek, and a lot of it. Rossi: Can you read it? Kenoshi: Like the scrolls, I would need time to decipher it. Gonna take some pictures to help translation back at Site. Zadeh: While he’s doing that, let’s see what’s in this cave. Douglas, you and Waltham are with me. Rest of you hang here and watch Kenoshi’s back. Merced: Yes, Captain. Thirty seconds of silence as the three presumably enter the recession. Rossi: See anything? Douglas: Sarcophagi, thirteen of them. Roughly made but full slabs of stone. No writing on them whatsoever. Zadeh: I don’t think anyone has been in here for a long time. Lots of cobwebs and dust coating every surface. Waltham: Look at this. Rossi: What is it? Zadeh: Bas relief of some kind carved into the central stone block of the tomb. Approximately two meters in height and three in length. Rossi: Depicting what? Douglas: Seems to be arms, dozens of them. They’re thrusting through the earth towards the sky. They’re wrong, though. Rossi: Wrong how? Waltham: Way more than five fingers, its crudely sculpted but I’d say they have upwards of eight to ten fingers each. Something in their palms, but the details aren’t clear based on the crudeness of the carving. Multiple gunshots are heard from outside the tomb. Zadeh: Laguerre, what’s going on out there? Laguerre: We’ve got company! More gunshots are heard. Zadeh: Outside, now! Gunshots continue to sound on the recording. Laguerre: Fuck, where are they even coming from? Rossi: What’s happening, Captain? Zadeh: Command, I don’t have time to explain! Gunshots from multiple firearms drown out all other sound. Douglas: Jesus, there’s ten of them! What the fuck are those things! Kenoshi: No idea, but they’re flying all over the place. Started launching arrows at us, but some of them have swords of some kind. Zadeh: Group your shots, they’re moving too fast! Douglas: No effect! Waltham: How do you know? I can’t tell if I’ve hit any! Merced: I’ve hit three, they’re wounded but not out. Also, there aren’t ten of them, there’s thirteen. Douglas: Fuck, you don’t think….? Zadeh: Okay, calling the retreat. We’re getting the fuck out of here. The next fifteen minutes are full of sounds of exertion and the occasional gunshot. Multiple expletives were called out but are not preserved here. Zadeh: Laguerre, open the damn portal! Laguerre: I’m trying! It’s distracting out here. Zadeh: Cover him! Waltham, smoke! Waltham begins chanting in Aramaic and a wind is heard. Douglas: Goddamn that fucking bell! I can still hear it! Zadeh: Doesn’t matter now, we just need to keep these bastards off our backs. Waltham screams and stops chanting. The wind dies down. Douglas: Maria! Zadeh: Merced, help Douglas with Waltham. Any time Lieutenant Laguerre! Douglas: She’s bleeding bad. Fuck. Fuck! Laguerre: Got it! Video feeds are restored as the team exits SCP-3743-B. Through the open Way, several winged humanoids can be seen. Their skin resembles texture of ocean organisms like sea sponges or sea cucumbers. They have no faces. The wings are transparent and insectile. Each is carrying a spear or sword and racing towards the open gate. Kenoshi is repeating the pattern of steps used to open the gate in reverse when a spear is thrown from one of the winged entities and slices across his chest, flinging him to the ground. Douglas: Fuck this! Agent Douglas levels her pistol at the icon of Eros and fires twice at point blank range. The surveillance cameras around SCP-3743-A-1 show the portal closing suddenly in a small explosion of amber light, catching one of the winged entities as it was exiting. The area is covered in gore and viscera as the entity is disintegrated from the explosion. - End Log - After-action note: I want it on the record that Agent Douglas’ quick thinking saved the lives of our entire team today. It is my most strenuous suggestion that she be commended and not censured for the destruction of the anomalous icon. - Captain Sahara Zadeh Lieutenant Laguerre and Sergeant Waltham were transferred to the medical center at Site-91. They are both in critical but stable condition. The winged entities are designated SCP-3743-C. The tissues recovered from the explosion at SCP-3743-A-1 show a mixture of genetic profiles: human, coral, sea sponge and some unrecognizable genetic patterns. Blood collected from the ruined icon match tissue samples taken from the neutralized SCP-3743-C. Close File Stele and burial chamber discovered in SCP-3743-B. Sergeant Kenoshi’s translation of the stele and the scrolls found in SCP-3743-B are ongoing. A preliminary series of excerpts are below: Scrolls found in SCP-3743-B – Excerpts: “And again, three other sons were born of Earth and Heaven, great and doughty beyond telling, Cottus and Briareos and Gyes, presumptuous children. From their shoulders sprang a hundred arms, not to be approached, and fifty heads grew from the shoulders upon the strong limbs of each, and irresistible was the stubborn strength that was in their great forms. For of all the children that were born of Earth and Heaven, these were the most terrible, and they were hated by their own father from the first.”8 “Great was Zeus, son of Cronus and Rhea, but not so great as to conquer the Titans alone. A great prophecy was known to him, that the Many Handed were necessary for the success of his war.”9 “Once the battle was finished and the celestial city of the gods was founded on Mount Olympus, the Many Handed crafted the known world. Briareos pooled the blood of the dead Titans and formed the seas. Cottus shaped the formless Earth into plains, mountains and forests. Gyes blew with all his might and shaped the clouds and Sky. The Many Handed together lit a great fire and flung the embers into the Night sky and formed the Stars.10 When Zeus and the Olympians wished to form mortals, the Many Handed shaped their blood and bodies with their many fingers.” “Their Many Hands guide us in this life. We honor their creation with our blood and bodies. We are their many hands, shaping society in their image.” Stele found in SCP-3743-B – Excerpt: "In the year of the Battle of Sphacteria, the Many Hands Society retreated from the world of the Hellenes. After the retreat, the Kings of Sparta took offense at the Society’s implied insult by leaving Hellenic society. It was in the following year that Sparta sent a fighting force, one thousand shields strong, led by the Cursed Brasidas,11 to wipe the temple of the Society from the plains of Greece. The Kings of Sparta desired of our strength and would not allow the Society to exist if it was not within their control. Our great leader Euboea, Son of Briareos, fought with our congregation against the Spartan aggression, killing hundreds with his spear. When Euboea’s spear broke on the Spartan general’s shield, Euboea performed a great sacrifice of his life’s blood. Our temple was moved to this place outside the Fates’ graces, and so Euboea did treat his surviving followers. Of the hundred priests and priestesses of the Society, only thirteen survived the battle. And yet, despite Euboea’s great will and power, one by one they succumbed to the wounds given by the despicable Spartans. Here, they lie buried, the thirteen last philosopher kings of the Many Hands Society. Their lights unfairly snuffed out by the aggression of man’s politics. May they rise again one day, to serve the hands of the Hecatoncheires.” Director Varga suggested the scrolls retrieved from SCP-3743-B be radiocarbon dated. Despite Sergeant Kenoshi’s assertion that the parchment was new, the scrolls were all dated to approximately 425 BCE +/- 30 years. Access SCiPNET Email? One (1) new message! Re: UPDATE to SCP-3743 To: Director Iona Varga From: Dr. Jocasta Rossi Subject: Update to SCP-3743’s File We're going to have to update the SCP-3743 file: Update as of 18/11/1992: Description: SCP-3743-A-2 is a thaumaturgically empowered Way taking the form of an art piece displayed at the York Art Gallery, located within the city limits of York, England. The Way is constructed from dozens of standing shale rocks, arrayed in a circle within the gallery. SCP-3743-A-2 also leads to SCP-3743-B. SCP-3743-A-2, as displayed in the York Art Gallery beginning on 8 November, 1992. Discovery: Thaumaturgical scanning of SCP-3743-A-1 allowed for the discovery of SCP-3743-A-2, only fourteen kilometers south of Site-91. It’s my opinion that whoever was on the other side of those ways, wants access to this site very badly.

SCP-3744 | euclid | SCP-3744 prior to containment. Faces of non-anomalous civilians have been redacted. Item #: SCP-3744 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3744 is to be housed within a standard humanoid containment unit in Site-88. The containment unit is to be monitored via standard CCTV surveillance. Any changes in its behavior are to be noted and reported immediately. A Scranton Reality Anchor (SRA) is to be active within the containment unit at all times, and should maintain a Hume level of 80 except when SCP-3744 is utilizing its socialization privileges. SCP-3744 may engage in supervised socialization for no longer than five hours weekly. During this time, four D-Class personnel with knowledge of table-top roleplaying games should engage SCP-3744 in a session of "Dungeons and Dragons". In order to allow for study of SCP-3744's abilities, the SRA present in its containment chamber may be lowered to Hume level 10. All sessions should be supervised electronically via security camera footage. Personnel are encouraged to remain in character and to maintain an amicable relationship with SCP-3744. Socialization privileges may be revoked if SCP-3744 ceases compliance with Foundation testing. EDIT: Foundation policy regarding SCP-3744's "Dungeons and Dragons" sessions has been revised post Incident 3744-01. During future sessions, a Scranton Reality Anchor with Hume level 40 is required. Additionally, all participants in future campaigns must be pre-approved C-Class Personnel. Description: SCP-3744 is a twenty-three (23) year old human male who weighs 76 kilograms and stands at a height of 1.8 meters. During sessions of the table-top roleplaying game "Dungeons and Dragons", SCP-3744 exhibits Class IV reality bending abilities, which it typically utilizes for the purpose of increasing the game's realism. These abilities include being able to expand or contract the inner dimensions of an enclosed space1, manifesting objects and living entities, and imparting anomalous properties to subjects within its effective range. This range is limited to the enclosed space it inhabits. It is unable to use its abilities while outdoors. Outside of a "Dungeons and Dragons" setting, SCP-3744 has not yet demonstrated any anomalous abilities of significance. It has thus far demonstrated full cooperation with Foundation personnel. On 06/24/2015, SCP-3744 was taken into custody by local police enforcement in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin as the result of a 911 call made by Andy M███████, SCP-3744's older brother, who asserted that he had been attacked by SCP-3744 and feared further physical violence to his person. M███████ additionally made claims regarding SCP-3744's anomalous abilities. Foundation agents were subsequently dispatched to investigate and recovery of SCP-3744 took place without incident. [+] Excerpt from Interview-3744-02 [-] Close Excerpt from Interview-3744-02 Interviewer: Researcher Mercer Interviewed: SCP-3744 Foreword: The following excerpt was taken from a series of interviews conducted shortly after SCP-3744 was brought into Foundation custody. <Begin Log> Mercer: Hello, SCP-3744. I’m Researcher Mercer. I understand you've spoken with some of my colleagues already? Thank you again for your cooperation with us in this matter. SCP-3744: Hey, no problem, man! Mercer: Let’s start with talking about your anomalous abilities, if it’s okay with you. When did you first discover them? SCP-3744: Oh, ages ago. Back when I was a kid. I’m, ah… "not very good with people", I guess. Had a hard time making friends my own age, you know? You probably do know that. Bet you were even worse than me. Scientist and all. Bunch'a nerds, right? So my brother used to include me in his friend group, and whenever his friends were going to play "Dungeons and Dragons", he’d invite me along. (softly) Andy was always cool like that. Mercer: You’re referring to your older brother, Mr. Andy M███████? The same brother who made the 911 call which brought you to our attention? [SCP-3744 flinches.] SCP-3744: Ah… Yeah. Mercer: We’ll come back to that later. Tell me about "Dungeons and Dragons". How is it related to the discovery of your abilities? SCP-3744: Oh. That's a real nice memory. Mercer: Is that so? SCP-3744: Yeah. Our first session. I was having the time of my life, y’know? All these older kids were being nice to me and we were having this big adventure. They had this awesome dragon miniature. I couldn’t resist touching it. And as soon as I pick it up, it does this huge roar and spits a fireball at me. Singed my jacket real good. Mercer: You said earlier that you’ve only used your abilities in a tabletop RPG settings. Is that correct? SCP-3744: Yeah. My brother and his friends thought it was awesome, so we kept practicing until I could turn our living room into an actual dragon’s den. Mercer: Why didn’t you use your abilities outside of the games? SCP-3744: (looking away) I'm not sure if I even can anymore, you know? I could at one point, but… one time I tried to use them to… well, there was this guy at school who was giving me a hard time. I just wanted to scare him a little. When Andy found out, he flipped his lid. Mercer: Your brother didn’t approve? SCP-3744: Nah. Andy didn’t want me to show anyone but our D&D group. Said it was too dangerous, that someone could get hurt or scared. I thought he was being an idiot. But he was so angry, and he's always been the only one on my side. I'd loved the powers at first, but after that I just wanted them to go away. And they did. All of them, except the bits that he liked. The D&D bits. Mercer: Your brother means a lot to you. SCP-3744: Yeah, I never wanted to… disappoint him. Not like that. And not like this. Never like this. [A long pause. Researcher Mercer remains silent.] SCP-3744: And he was right all along. We… I should have been more careful. Mercer: Why did your brother make that 911 call, SCP-3744? SCP-3744: (breaking eye contact) I-It should have been a normal session. We were on this sailboat, and the pirate goblins attacked just like they were supposed to. Then one of the pirate goblins gets Andy all tangled up in a net and knocks him into the water. He starts drowning. Not fake drowning, like the kind of fake blood tricks we’d done before. It was real water, y’know? And he was really drowning. Mercer: He survived, though. [SCP-3744 looks down at his hands.] SCP-3744: Yeah. He survived. But… [SCP-3744 trails off. After a brief silence, Researcher Mercer gestures for him to continue.] SCP-3744: But he almost didn’t. He’d been under for a long time. When we fished him out, he was unconscious. He almost died. If I'd been a few seconds slower, he would have. Afterwards, he was angry. And he was right to be angry. He nearly drowned in our own living room, for God's sake. His own brother nearly killed him. Mercer: I see. SCP-3744: I keep dreaming of him like that. Just lying there, with tangled wet hair and cold, clammy skin. His lips were blue when we pulled him out, did you know that? Like a dead person's. Mercer: SCP-3744… SCP-3744: Of course I came quietly. Even Andy thinks I deserve to be here. I… I just don't want to hurt anyone else. <End Log> Addendum 3744.1: Incident 3744-01 SES-3744-01 is the designation for the initial series of "Dungeons and Dragons" game sessions moderated by SCP-3744. The other participants in SES-3744-01 were D-3744-1 (as a Barbarian), D-3744-2 (as a Druid), D-3744-3 (as a Paladin) and D-3744-4 (as a Cleric). SCP-3744 appeared uncomfortable with the level of violence and general behavior that D-3744-1 and D-3744-3 demonstrated throughout the campaign. Incident 3744-01 took place on 12/01/2015, immediately following SES-3744-01-015. The relevant section of SES-3744-01-015 has been excerpted below. [+] Excerpt from SES-3744-01-015 Transcript [-] Close SES-3744-01-015 Transcript SES-3744-01-015 Video Log Date: 12/01/2015 Participants: D-3744-1, D-3744-2, D-3744-3, D-3744-4 (as Player Characters); SCP-3744 (as Dungeon Master) Foreword: SCP-3744 had tasked the players with escorting a humanoid child entity serving as a Non-Player Character (NPC-3744-18) to a city via boat. <Begin Log> [Dressed in character-appropriate costumes, D-3744-1, D-3744-2, D-3744-3 and D-3744-4 board a ship. NPC-3744-18 accompanies them. It appears to be struggling to keep up with the pace of the four D-Class Personnel, due to its short stature. While SCP-3744 does not appear to be physically present, its voice remains audible.] SCP-3744: Gentle waves lap against your ship as you leave the ports of Desenia and set off towards the city of Sorindale to escort the prince towards his home. D-3744-1: Okay, so… do we just sit around and wait for us to get there? SCP-3744: Well… yeah. D-3744-3: Jesus fuck, I thought this was supposed to be exciting. SCP-3744: Exciti— well, maybe if you guys would stop killing every important NPC that I introduce, you'd be able to have your adventure in Desenia instead of having to travel all the way to Sorindale for your adventure. [D-3744-3 and SCP-3744 argue back and forth briefly, before SCP-3744 finally relents. D-3744-1 and D-3744-3 amuse themselves by drinking copious amounts of rum and initiating a gambling session with D-3744-2, in which they utilize intimidation tactics to coerce D-3744-2 into giving up valuable gear. D-3744-4 disappears below deck and re-emerges with a novel, which he begins to read. NPC-3744-18 huddles against the ship's mast, appearing terrified.] SCP-3744: The waves against the ship start getting more pronounced, and more violent. D-3744-4: (glancing up from his book) Uh… guys. Something's happening. D-3744-1: The fuck? D-3744-3: (giving D-3744-2 a meaningful look) Well? Go check out the side. [D-3744-2 tentatively approaches the side of the boat. An enormous tentacle rises from the water and strikes him across the chest, knocking him several feet away.] D-3744-1: Holy shit! Kill it! [The other Player Characters scramble to their feet, readying their weapons. D-3744-1 produces a longsword and slices at the appendage. It rears back and slips back into the water.] D-3744-4: There's no way in hell that that actually worked. [The seas begin to rumble, and an aquatic entity resembling a giant octopus emerges from the ocean, sending a shower of salt water onto the boat. It lashes out with one tentacle, striking D-3744-1 and sending him flying off the boat. It then catches him in mid-air with another tentacle and dangles him above its gaping mouth.] Aquatic Entity: (in a deep, rumbling voice) Bring me a meal… and perhaps I shall spare his life. [D-3744-2, D-3744-3, D-3744-4, and NPC-3744-18 regroup to discuss what they should do. As the conversation progresses, D-3744-3's dissatisfaction with the conversation's direction grows increasingly apparent.] D-3744-4: Calm down, man. There's no way it wants that. Look, it's obvious what we're meant to do. Let's just give the squid our rations and— D-3744-3: Don't be such a goddamn coward. It's not even a real kid, okay? [D-3744-3 grabs NPC-3744-18 by the wrist. The entity shrieks and begins sobbing.] NPC-3744-18: No! Please, please, let me go, I'll do anything, my father can pay you, I— SCP-3744: You can't be serious. That's not— [Ignoring NPC-3744-18's screams and the horrified reactions of D-3744-2 and D-3744-4, D-3744-3 physically drags NPC-3744-18 to the edge of the ship, and shoves it into the water. It flails in mid-air briefly before hitting the water with a splash. After a few seconds, NPC-3744-18 resurfaces, flailing about in the water and screaming.] D-3744-2: (softly) He's drowning… [Abruptly, all non-player characters and components of the setting go unnaturally still. The only sound audible is SCP-3744's rapid breathing, as it begins to hyperventilate.] SCP-3744: I— I— [Movement resumes. The sea begins to churn furiously, causing the boat to rock precariously from side to side and throwing the D-3744-2, D-3744-3 and D-3744-4 across the deck. The aquatic entity vanishes, sending D-3744-1 plummeting into the sea. NPC-3744-18 begins screaming once more. A few seconds later, the water turns blood red and abruptly fills with thousands of gasping, thrashing bodies, flickering in and out of existence. The sky above blinks out of existence and then returns as a hanging canopy of damp, salt-encrusted hair.] [D-3744-4 is the only D-Class Personnel still visible on the video feed. He hangs precariously to the starboard side of the ship, soaking wet and half-entangled in hair.] D-3744-4: Oh god oh god make it stop make it stop— [The entire setting abruptly vanishes, with the containment unit reappearing with its original dimensions. The four D Class Personnel are clustered together on one end of the unit, all apparently unconscious except for D-3744-4, who is on his knees. SCP-3744 is at the other end, breathing heavily. Pale-faced, D-3744-4 stretches out a hand towards SCP-3744.] D-3744-4: That was— Jesus Christ, man, I don't— are you okay? SCP-3744: (breathing hard) I— I— I can't. [SCP-3744 crouches to the ground and curls up in fetal position with its head in its knees. It is unresponsive to any further questioning.] <End Log> Subsequently, new policies were put in place regarding further "Dungeons and Dragons" sessions, including a higher Hume level setting for the Scranton Reality Anchor in SCP-3744's chambers and stricter regulations regarding participants in future campaigns.

SCP-3745 | neutralized | Item #: SCP-3745 Special Containment Procedures: The remains of SCP-3745 are to be held in a standard containment locker. Due to the cessation of its anomalous properties, testing of SCP-3745 is no longer a priority. + Obsolete Containment Procedures - Access Granted SCP-3745 is to be stored in a standard non-humanoid holding cell. Physical contact is not to be made with SCP-3745 outside of a Duprass Event unless for the purpose of testing. Prior to the initiation of a Duprass Event, primary subjects are to detail all previous romantic partners within Procedural Documentation Survey 3745-1. Individuals detailed in this document are to be monitored remotely by Foundation operatives during the initiation of the Duprass Event. Following the displacement of the secondary subject, Class-A amnestics are to be administered to any civilian witnesses present. If alive upon the conclusion of a Duprass Event, secondary subjects are to be amnesticized and returned to their place of residence following a health screening. If deceased upon the conclusion of a Duprass Event, secondary subjects are to be autopsied and disposed of accordingly. Description: SCP-3745 is an amalgamation consisting of components from two human skeletons. Based on the shape of the mandible and pelvic regions, SCP-3745’s skeletal components are believed to originate from an adolescent male and female. The left and right halves of SCP-3745 are fused along the longitudinal axis at the pelvis, and diverge along the lower spinal cord into two torsos connected by the ribs and two separate skulls. SCP-3745’s skeletal components are believed to have been fused through temperatures in excess of 1700°C, as evidenced by the amorphous hydroxylapatite molecular structure found at points of fusion. The phrases “два любовника в вечных объятиях“1 and “Украденный нисходящим пламенем“2 are engraved on SCP-3745’s left and right T2 vertebrae, respectively. SCP-3745 emits constant but negligible levels of gamma radiation. Any human (henceforth designated the primary subject) who makes physical contact with SCP-3745 will undergo a Duprass Event3. During a Duprass Event, the primary subject, as well as any materials attached to their person, will be instantly transported to a location designated SCP-3745-1. Another individual (hereafter designated the secondary subject) will also be displaced to SCP-3745-1 from their current location at this time. The secondary subject is invariably someone who the primary subject has experienced a romantic attachment to. While a Duprass Event is in progress, no other subjects can be displaced to SCP-3745-1, and SCP-3745 can be touched without incident. SCP-3745-1 contains a largely arid desert environment, the size and extent of which is currently unknown. The sky is perpetually hazy, and temperatures average between -12°C and 14°C. No plant life has been found within SCP-3745-1. Multiple streets, houses, and buildings are present within SCP-3745-1, all in various states of damage and dilapidation. No inhabitants of SCP-3745-1 have been found. SCP-3745-1 exhibits unsafe levels of radiation4. However, displaced subjects experience neither short-term nor long-term symptoms expected from radiation exposure of this caliber, instead typically expiring from dehydration within days of displacement due to the scarcity of liquid water within SCP-3745-1. A Duprass Event ends when one or both of the displaced subjects ceases vital functions. Upon the conclusion of a Duprass Event, both subjects (or the remains thereof) will return to baseline reality, reappearing in the approximate location of their initial displacement. Addendum 3745.1: Experiment Log 3745-04 Primary Subject: D-7721 Secondary Subject: Margaret Ross (No witnesses during displacement, disappearance attributed to a non-anomalous abduction) Procedure: Primary Subject was equipped with a standard Foundation expedition pack containing enough water and dehydrated nutritional supplements to enable approximately 3 weeks of travel for 2 individuals. Primary Subject was instructed to explore the surrounding area of SCP-3745-1, and to record anything of note in a provided journal. Initiation Date: 03/28/1962 Conclusion Date: 02/14/2018 Results: Duprass Event lasted far longer than expected. Both subjects returned heavily aged and deceased. Clothing and other materials attached to the subjects were severely burned, but the subjects themselves were unscathed. Cause of death could not be determined. Following the conclusion of the Duprass Event, SCP-3745 disintegrated into calcium phosphate granules. These granules did not display any of SCP-3745's former properties. The cover and edges of D-7721’s journal were charred, but its contents were mostly legible. Notable excerpts from D-7721's journal are attached below. + Input Credentials - Access Granted Photograph found within D-7721's journal Day 1 (I guess) Okay, so I just touched the wierd skeleton thing, and now I'm in… I don't know, it looks kind of like a bedroom. I'm going to have a look around. Yep, it's a bedroom. I think it's a children's bedroom. There are lots of framed pictures of a kid. They're all pretty blurry though. They look old. Everything in this room is dusty, like it hasn't been touched in ages. Alright, I've explored the rest of the house, everything's old and abandoned. Also the roof caved in on what I think is the kitchen. There's this wierd feeling, like this whole place is kind of… familiar? Don't know why though, my house looked nothing like this. I'm looking around outside now. Everything's fucked out here as well. Just dusty streets and half-destroyed buildings. Hang on, I hear something Guess who I just fucking found! Fucking Margaret! She was a few houses down from me, yelling for help. You dickhead scientists said there would be someone else here, but I didn't think you were gonna abduct my fucking high school girlfriend. Is this why you had me fill out that godamn form? I swear to god I'll fucking kill all of you if I ever get out of here. Day 2 Alright, I've calmed down a bit now. Margaret has too. She's handling this much better than I would have if I was in her situation. Apparantly she was making dinner in her apartment when she got sent here without any warning. At least I knew something fucked up would happen when I touched that skeleton. I tried to act like I didn't know what was going on either, but she could always see right through me. I ended up telling her that I was forced to work for some scientists who do Area-51 type bullshit (which isn't a lie, just the truth minus some facts), and I got sent here in one of their experiments. I had no idea she would be sent here too, and she seemed to believe me on that. We explored some of the surrounding area. Old and abandoned, just like the house. No signs of any food or water either. There were street signs on some of the corners, but they weren't in English. Margaret said they were in Russian, so I guess we're in Russia? I don't think Russia is supposed to be this wrecked, but I haven't exactly been keeping up on current events. Day 3 Margaret and I decided to travel in one direction and see if we can find some form of life. So far there's still nothing but destruction. We did a lot of catching up while we wandered through the city. Margaret's in grad school now, studying psychology. It's funny to see how responsible she's gotten. Back in high school neither of us had any future plans. We always talked about running away and living in the everglades or the pine barrens or some shit, anywhere where we wouldn't have to deal with college and money and all that stupid man-made stuff. Margaret was pretty calm the entire time we talked. It feels like she's adjusting to this whole thing unnaturally fast. I think I am too. I know this situation is fucked up, but for some reason I just can't bring myself to care all that much. I know this probably isn't the kind of stuff you scientists want me writing down, but on the other hand you sent me into an apocalyptic wasteland, so fuck you. If one of you bureaucrats has to spend hours sifting through my personal thoughts in order to find anything of scientific value, then that's a small victory for me. Day 6 I noticed something wierd about the buildings. Margaret noticed something weird about the buildings (alright Margs you got me). A lot of the damage seems like normal fire and explosion-type stuff, but some of it isn't. One house has a perfectly circular hole through it, about ten feet wide. perfectly smooth. Another building was completely sideways and buried about five feet in the ground. No signs that it was nocked knocked over, it just looked like it was placed there. Really freaky shit. We actually ended up camping out in the house with the hole in it (Margs said she liked the view). We'll continue exploring tomorrow. Day 12 The farther we travel, the more fucked up the landscape is. All the skyscrapers have been bent and twisted in ways I didn't think were possible. Margs tried to walk through one of the front doors and instead came right out the back door as if there was nothing in between. Every building is messed up in some unique way. Also, there are these… ripples in the air, like when it's hot out, but they're only in small clusters. I threw a rock at one, and it disappeared for a few seconds before reappearing in the same place. I tried to pick it up, but it burned my hand. It's not all bad though. Margaret and I discussed our options, and we've decided to choose a permanent shelter, since things only seem to be getting worse the farther we travel, and the rations will last longer if we conserve our energy. Margs picked out a nice house by what I think used to be a lake. It’s not the least damaged house in the area, but she said she liked the layout. I might try to fix up the place eventually (a lot of the second story has collapsed), but we'll see. Day 14 Great news! We finally found food and water. One of the wierd weird sky ripples has a stream of water falling out of it. It looks like it's falling out of nothing. It's really wierd weird. It's salt water, and it’s scalding hot, but Margs says she can rig something to purify it and make it drinkable. Between this and starting the campfires every night, I don't know what I'd do without her. She says she knows all this stuff because she was a girl scout, but I was a boy scout for a while and I don't remember any of this. She’s really something. As for food, Margs says she saw rats scuttling under an open sewer grate about a quarter of a mile away. We’re gonna use what’s left of our food supply to try to lure them into some traps. Hopefully they like the taste of these nutrient bars more than I do. I feel like I should be unnerved by the idea of eating a rat, but I'm not. It just feels… normal. This whole trip has Day 17 You will not believe what I found this morning, I was wandering around the city, setting up some of our rat traps, when suddenly I found this army tank looking thing. I mean, it wasn't like a regular tank, or at least not one I've ever seen. It's got a big glass sphere where the cannon part should be, and big spidery legs instead of treads. I took a look inside, pressing buttons and such, and I actually got it to work! I can't get the top part to rotate or the glass sphere to do anything, but I can make it walk forwards at least (although one of its legs seems to be broken). I rode it back to our house, and I swear I haven't seen Margs smile that much since prom. We took turns driving each other around in it, it was just like back in high school . Is it bad that I'm enjoying this? Day 18 I told Margs everything. I told her about all the mistakes I made that got me stuck working for you mad scientists5. I told her how part of me knew she would end up here with me, and how part of me is happy she did. No, not part of me, all of me. I'm happy that we're here together, as fucked up as that may be. I just couldn't keep it to myself anymore. She seemed so relieved when I told her. She said she had been feeling the same way, and that the guilt was getting to her just like it was for me. I hardly even know what happened after that. It was like something took control of us, and next thing I knew we were kissing. I know it hasn't even been three weeks, and I know you scientists will chalk this up to some weird paranormal mind control or something, but I don't care. We're happy here. We're home. Note: It is believed that D-7721 stopped using the journal for an extensive period of time following this entry. Day Hell if I know Jeez, this brings back memories. I haven't seen this thing in forever. Must have gotten buried under all the clutter in the house. Sorry if that leaves a big hole in your research, scientists, but to be honest your research hasn't been a priority for me recently. But I guess as long as I'm writing I might as well give you a little update. I tied the knot with Margaret a few years ago. It was a small ceremony, as you can imagine. Still, it was amazing. We aren't planning on having any kids or anything, we aren't about to Adam and Eve this place. We were never too keen on the family life anyway, so it's not a big loss. We fixed up the house. It looks pretty much normal, if you ignore all the skinned rats hanging in the kitchen. It took some time, but it really does feel like a home to us now. There's also a bunch of other weird apocalyptic stuff that we've discovered around town. That spider tank was just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to freaky sci-fi shit. I'm sure you scientists would love to hear all about it, but I'm not your lab rat anymore. You guys can touch that skeleton yourselves if you want to know so damn bad. Note: Following this entry, D-7721's began using the journal on an infrequent basis. His entries became shorter, and provided less information regarding SCP-3745-1. A sample of these entries has been presented below. Fifth anniversary today. We used one of the larger rats we'd been saving for the occasion. Made rat mignon. It was really nice. Found a massive rat down by the roundabout. Almost 2 feet long. Took him home with me and named him Scooter. I always wanted a dog. Explored a building few miles south that I always thought looked familiar. Looked like a school or something. Found a basketball with a hole in it. Now I just need some duct tape. Tank broke down today. Tried getting underneath it to see what was wrong and nearly threw out my back. I'm not as young as I used to be. She's still so beautiful, even after all this time. Note: Following this entry, D-7721 appeared to undergo a change in behavior, and began writing in greater detail. The feeling is back. The feeling that we’re supposed to be here. I suppose it never left. I’ve always been aware of its presence, but it’s been dormant for years now. We haven’t needed it. We’ve been happy. But now it’s stronger, and it’s telling us that we’re not supposed to be here anymore. It wants us to travel East. Margaret feels it too. We’ve packed some supplies, and we’re going to head out in the morning. Hopefully the journey isn’t too far. Margaret’s knees have begun to ache when she walks, and my chest hurts whenever I exert myself too much. We’ll just take it slow and see what happens. The landscape is getting more desolate with each day of travel. Most of the buildings are just piles of rubble now. The ripples are growing more common. They make it hard to see in some directions, but the path we’re following is mostly clear. The feeling is getting stronger. A feeling of… closure. I don’t know how to describe it. It’s like we’ve spent our whole lives completing some important task, and now all that’s left is to reach this destination. It’s an uplifting feeling, of not a bit unsettling. There aren’t any buildings anymore. Just miles of empty desert in all directions. The ripples are more common now. We have to deviate from the path frequently in order to get by them. They radiate heat, so it burns to get too close. I’m not sure how long can can avoid it, though. The land has started tilting downward. It wasn’t noticeable at first, but now it’s really steep. It’s a nightmare for Margaret’s legs, so I’ve been helping her. It won’t be long now. I can feel it. Jesus Christ it’s hot. There are ripples everywhere, I don’t know how much more of this we can take. There are puddles on the ground. They aren’t water, they’re some silvery substance. Holy shit, I just looked at Margaret’s reflection in the puddle, and it’s not her. It’s some other girl. And my reflection is some other guy. Oh my god, it’s the kid! The kid from the picture! He looks older, but it’s definitely him. He’s smiling at us. He’s so happy. He’s so happy. The ground has leveled out. We're in some kind of crater. We can barely see at this point, it's just ripples all around. Ripples all around. Boiling. There's a heart. No, two hearts, kind of fused together, floating in the center. Beating so loud. Burning so hot. But they won't be beating much longer. I see it now. This is where it began, and where it must end. They were in love. All this time they were in love. We were in love. Now they have returned to accept their fate. They We they are grateful, but they are ready to go now. . . . We are ready to go now. Спасибо вам за вашу любовь. Благодаря вам мы смогли прожить годы вместе, которые украла война. Наше время прошло, как и ваше. Удачи вам в том, что будет дальше.6 Footnotes 1. "Two lovers in eternal embrace" 2.

SCP-3746 | keter | Item #: SCP-3746 Special Containment Procedures: All affected subjects are to be given Class-C amnestics and employed at Foundation front companies for further analysis. Should they attempt to contact their family, a higher level of amnestic therapy is to be administered and the subject is to be placed under Foundation psychiatric care. Description: SCP-3746 is a phenomenon affecting adult male humans residing within the continental United States who are living with their maternal parent. Affected subjects will perceive the individual in their lives they identify as their mother deceased upon waking. Evidence recovered during containment operations suggests that affected subjects attended or were aware of a seminar entitled "Living With Mom, Finding What Comes After".1 A statistically significant portion of individuals who self-reported attending these classes have reported experiencing night terrors, erotic, lucid or other extreme dream states prior to SCP-3746’s manifestation. There is no known pattern in the causes of the deaths perceived by those affected by SCP-3746; most frequently it is natural causes. If the subject comes into contact with their mother, the contacted flesh will experience a drastic drop in temperature followed by the rapid onset of rigor mortis, and the ossification of bones. If at any point the subject's mother loses consciousness, such as falling asleep, they will appear to be deceased through any measurement or observation taken by the subject2. An immediate compulsion to bury the apparently deceased follows, with affected individuals frequently failing to utilize obvious tools in favor of their hands. This effect ceases if the two are separated, if the mother perishes, or if the attempt is successful. SCP-3746 was initially discovered after Foundation I/Os picked up on imageboards popular in the United States which had postings about the phenomenon. As of 2017/05/05, 67 cases have been documented and contained by the Foundation. Case 29: On 2017/04/02, Benjamin Miller phoned 911 after claiming to have found his 68-year-old mother collapsed and bleeding in their home. A transcript of the 911 call is attached. «Begin Log» Dispatch: Nine-one-one. What is your emergency? Miller: O-oh fucking Chri- holyshitholycowohman mom's bleeding out on the floor, oh Jesu- Dispatch: Sir, what's your address? Miller: 1240 Quinn- oh, oh, oh fuck <retching> Dispatch: Sir, I need your address! Miller: 1240 Quinn Hill Rd, Plantation and please please hurry! Dispatch: Okay, an ambulance is en rou- Ms. Miller: <muffled> Ben? Get off the phone, what’s gotten into you today? Dispatch: Is that your Mother? Miller: Something’s happening! I’m going to try CPR! How do y’all do that? Dispatch: Sir, who’s hurt? Please don’t try anything you don’t know how to do until the paramedics arrive. Miller: You don't know me! I can do it. Mom! Phone is put down. Dispatch: Hello? Hello? From a distance. Miller: Mom! Mom, calm down, I'm trying to help! Ms. Miller: Stop! Stop! I can’t breathe! Get your <unintelligible> face <crunching sound, followed by high-pitched screams> Miller: Staying alive… staying alive… get warm, please, staying alive Ms. Miller: <gurgling> Miller: I think someone’s here. Note: Paramedics arrived shortly after and removed Benjamin Miller from his mother's person before attempting to administer assistance. Ms. Miller expired due to chest cavity collapse resulting in fatal trauma, and Foundation assets discovered the SCP-3746 involvement during Benjamin Miller's trial. «End Log» Addendum 3746.1: On 09/18/2018, Foundation agents learned of an apparent SCP-3746-related seminar being organized in Portland, Oregon. Observation showed that the event was not attended by the organizers or locals. Literature and other paraphernalia recovered had heavily plagiarized contents, from materials such as encyclopedias of natural phenomenon, Freudian psychology, recipe books, and sex manuals. The venue was not able to provide record of who booked the event. Local communities are now being monitored specifically for SCP-3746 related phenomenon. Footnotes 1. Advertisements and materials for this course have not been found outside containment operations, and the investigation is ongoing. 2. Temperature, pulse check and reaction testing will show no signs of life if performed by the affected subject ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3746" by Anonymous, Rounderhouse, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3748 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3748 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3748 is to be contained in a standard containment cell, containing basic humanoid amenities downsized to SCP-3748's scale. The walls of SCP-3748's containment chamber are to be made at least five meters thick, and no open spaces are allowed within five meters of SCP-3748's cell. Staff who receive Level 2 authorization may speak with SCP-3748. However, potential interviewers are to be warned that SCP-3748 has an exceptionally vitriolic personalty. Description: SCP-3748 is a ceramic bowl containing approximately 600 Musca domestica1 cadavers. These cadavers can be removed from SCP-3748, though it expresses discomfort when this happens. SCP-3748 will regenerate at a rate of one fly every three minutes if a portion is removed. SCP-3748 has developed a sapient consciousness fluent in English and knows very basic Japanese. SCP-3748's primary method of communication is telepathy, where it speaks in a male Midwest American accent. This telepathy is not two-way; however, SCP-3748 has a sense of hearing despite not possessing hearing apparatuses. SCP-3748's primary mode of translocation is teleportation. SCP-3748 is capable of instantaneously transporting itself up to approximately 4.78 meters at a time. SCP-3748 can do this four times in a minute before showing signs of exhaustion; however, SCP-3748 has implied on multiple occasions that it could teleport itself more if it exercised. Discovery: SCP-3748 was created by PoI-2343 (Jacob Sherman) for his school's science fair. PoI-2343 supposedly put a piece of flypaper into a ceramic bowl, and left it outside until a great number of flies accrued in the bowl. PoI-2343 did not create SCP-3748 intentionally, and it is believed that neither PoI-2343 nor any members of his immediate family have reality-altering capabilities. The flypaper used to create SCP-3748 has not been recovered. Interview Log 1: View Attachment: Interview Log 3748-Alpha Close File INTERVIEW LOG Interviewed: PoI-2343 Interviewer: Researcher Sarah Clemson <Begin Log> Researcher Clemson: Hello, Jacob. How are you feeling today? PoI-2343: I'm doing great! Researcher Clemson: That's good to hear. Last month you had a science fair at your school, correct? PoI-2343: Yup. Researcher Clemson: What was your project for the science fair? PoI-2343: Well, I put two bowls with flypaper in them in two different places, one out in the sun, and one inside near an open window for a couple hours. I was gonna see the difference in flies collected in the bowl if the bowl was inside versus outside. Researcher Clemson: When did you discover the bowl's properties? PoI-2343: A day before the fair. I was checking up on both of the bowls to see what I caught. The bowl outside collected way more flies than the other. Way more. Anyway, I was gonna bring the outside bowl back inside, when I heard someone say, "It smells in here." It came from the bowl of dead flies. Researcher Clemson: What did it say to you? PoI-2343: Well, it really scared me. I went over to pick it up, and it said "Hey, kid, over here, give me a hand?" and "If you could get rid of this flypaper that would be great." It was weird too, it spoke without a mouth, and I heard it talking in my head. It didn't have any ears either, but it could hear me. PoI-2343: Anyway, I accidentally threw it off the table. Uh, then we talked for a bit after I calmed down. It said that it was a "nice and friendly" person, talked about how it got all the ladies, and how everyone thought he was the best. Researcher Clemson: What did you do after that? PoI-2343: Actually, we had a conversation about picking up girls. He told me he could be my wingman, show me the ropes on how to score one, how to be smooth and all that. I really didn't know what he was doing, but I was, and still am, an awkward high school student, so I listened. Once I got past him being, uh, odd, we actually became good friends as well, and we would have conversations with each other when nobody was looking. I didn't tell anyone about it, because I was literally asking for dating advice from a bowl of dead flies. Researcher Clemson: I see. Anything else of note before we acquired it? PoI-2343: It told me it was good at video games, so I gave it my computer so that "he could teach me." It teleported all over the keyboard and pressed a bunch of random buttons, and he used all of my items at once, and jumped off a cliff. He told me my keyboard sucked. Researcher Clemson: Hmm, I see. This interview is over. Thank you for cooperating, Jacob. PoI-2343: No problem. Where is Bernard, anyways? Researcher Clemson: We're checking him at the moment. You'll be reunited shortly. PoI-2343: Thanks, ma'am. <End Log> Closing Statement: PoI-2343 was administered Class-C amnestics and released back into public. Interview Log 2: View Attachment: Interview Log 3748-Beta Close File INTERVIEW LOG Interviewed: SCP-3748 Interviewer: Researcher Sarah Clemson <Begin Log> SCP-3748: Hello, my good madam. Researcher Clemson: Good afternoon, SCP-3748. If you don't mind, I'm going to be asking you several questions. SCP-3748: Knock yourself out. Researcher Clemson: Do you know who created, or made you? SCP-3748: What are your hobbies? Researcher Clemson: SCP-3748, please answer my question. SCP-3748: Oh, I'm sorry. It's just a quirk of mine. Researcher Clemson: Maybe after you answer my questions, okay? Now, who created you, SCP-3748? SCP-3748: Some stupid kid. What do you do for a living? Researcher Clemson: I'd appreciate it if you stopped asking me questions. SCP-3748: Sorry, so sorry. I just wanted to get to know you better. Researcher Clemson: The purpose of this interview is to gain information about you. Now- SCP-3748: <Interrupting> Okay, wow. I was just asking you a question, and you shoot me down like that. No reason to bitch about it. Like, a simple answer would have sufficed. Researcher Clemson: Please be civil, SCP-3748. SCP-3748: It's always "SCP-3748", isn't it? Why not use my actual name, bitch? I'm trying to be respectful and all here, but then you just go and straight up fuck me over for no reason. Researcher Clemson: SCP-3748, please remain civil. Now, tell- SCP-3748: Oh, I see. Just because I'm a bowl of flies, you think you can kick me to the curb? Leave me on the backburner, huh? Just because I'm an 'anomaly'? Well, you should go fuck yourself, bitch. Jesus, what a whore. <Silence> Researcher Clemson: This interview is over. Researcher Clemson stands up SCP-3748: No! That was my brother! I'm actually a- <SCP-3748 appears to weep. Water appears to leak from the top of the bowl> SCP-3748: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm a piece of shit. Researcher Clemson: Huh? SCP-3748: I'm a piece of shit that doesn't deserve to be loved. I'm only pretending to be cool to mask the fact that I'm not. People hate me, but I can't stop the act because people will hate me even more! I don't know what to do. <Researcher Clemson sits down> Researcher Clemson: Can you answer my questions now? SCP-3748: Sniff. Yes. Researcher Clemson: Do you know who created you? SCP-3748: Sigh. A kid. I think his name was Sherman. I lied to him that I was a hit with the ladies. Because of course I do, why else would a subhuman like me survive in this world? I'm not gonna hit it up with anyone, nobody is going to spend the time with me. Researcher Clemson: Stay on topic, SCP-3748. SCP-3748: Sorry. Researcher Clemson: Anyway. Do you have any memory of before you were created? SCP-3748: Uh… no. No. Probably was still a loser though. Researcher Clemson: Okay. The child said your name was Bernard, is that correct? SCP-3748: Yes. Researcher Clemson: Okay. One last question. Do you know how you are able to talk and see? SCP-3748: I don't know. I can see, breathe, smell, and hear perfectly. I don't know. <SCP-3748 appears to sob again, but less severely> SCP-3748: Sorry that I don't know anything. Researcher Clemson: It's fine. You've given us enough information. Any thing to say before I conclude this interview? SCP-3748: Yeah. Um… do you want to hang out sometime? Maybe grab some coffee? Researcher Clemson: SCP-3748, I'm marri- SCP-3748: Wow! Because of course you are, you raging slutbag. I even apologized and submitted myself to you and this is what you say to me? You wouldn't know chivalry if it bit you on the— Researcher Clemson: This interview is over. <End Log> Closing Statement: For approximately 2 hours after the interview, SCP-3748 continued to yell several profanities directed towards Researcher Clemson before eventually calming down.

SCP-3749 | safe | Item #: SCP-3749 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3749-A is kept in a fitted, hermetically sealed case lined with shock absorbing gel. This case is inside a vacuum sealed vault equipped with an airlock. An electromagnet beneath the floor is kept powered on at all times. Entry to SCP-3749-A's vault requires BSL-5 biohazard protection and sterilization before approaching. The remains of SCP-3749-B through -D are kept in similar vaults. Description: SCP-3749-A is a decorative stainless steel sword that autonomously attacks all life. As bacteria and microorganisms qualify as life for SCP-3749-A's effect, SCP-3749-A is constantly in high-speed motion as long as they are present. Analysis suggests SCP-3749-A bisects each bacterium individually, moving at speeds of up to Mach 4. SCP-3749-A is 75 cm long, with an iridescent purple finish and multiple superfluous edges and points that make it unfeasible as a weapon. SCP-3749-A's edges are extremely sharp; electron microscopy shows them to be only a few atoms thick. SCP-3749-A is anomalously damage-resistant, and its edges have not measurably dulled. SCP-3749-A was discovered in an empty house previously owned by one Humphrey Bingham (POI-11928), an unemployed, misanthropic 43-year-old obsessed with the occult, eschatology, and the Book of Revelation. He appears to have created SCP-3749 by performing an arcane ritual with his collection of novelty weapons. The shortlived SCP-3749-B through -D, other novelty swords owned by Bingham, were also animated by this ritual. However, SCP-3749-A likely destroyed them, their products, and Bingham himself. SCP-3749-B, -C, and -D were found covered in powdered human bone and biological residue matching bubonic plague (Yersinia pestis) and desert locust shells (Schistocerca gregaria). After some difficulty, SCP-3749-A was brought to the nearest Site and introduced to an airlocked vacuum chamber. An electromagnet and case were prepared while SCP-3749-A was allowed to destroy the few microbes present in the room. When personnel equipped with BSL-5 suits prepared to enter the cell, SCP-3749-A was lying in the center of the room, sluggishly moving. Closer inspection showed it bending and attempting to cut itself before snapping back in place. SCP-3749-A was then safely placed into the case with the assistance of the electromagnet. In light of this, controlled use of SCP-3749-A to assist in containing outbreaks of Keter-class biological hazards is currently under consideration. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3749" by Weryllium, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3750 | safe | Item #: SCP-3750 Special Containment Procedures: When not in use, SCP-3750 is to be stored in a standard safe-class deposit locker in Site-77. SCP-3750 is not to come in contact with systems or simulations which involve sensitive data, such as predictive algorithms, training simulations and games, as well as systems in which civilians could be considered actors. Description: SCP-3750 is a standard Staunton-style white king chess piece composed of stained pine. Historical and scientific estimates suggest SCP-3750 was created in late 19th-century Britain, although no particular style or make has been found which matches the entity. SCP-3750's anomalous properties manifest when it is used as a component in a board game. The player in possession of SCP-3750 will telepathically receive suggestions for moves and tactics along with commentary on the board state and other miscellaneous observations. SCP-3750 seems to have perfect knowledge of the "game state", but otherwise cannot perceive things near or around it, including, but not limited to, sounds, images and the condition and surroundings of SCP-3750. Regardless of the player, SCP-3750 "speaks" in English and with a voice commonly described as "East Coast American". SCP-3750's suggestions have shown no cognitohazardous or compulsive properties in testing, and players are under no obligation to follow its suggestions. SCP-3750 was recovered from a chess tournament on July 21, 1984 in Reykjavik, Iceland after numerous players on the white side of table seven complained to tournament officials about a "useless kibitzer". Foundation officials recovered the anomaly and falsified an incident to redirect blame to a player. Attached below is a game played between junior researcher Joselyn Tal and SCP-3750. + 3750_4.pgn - 3750_4.pgn [Event "Foundation Internal Research"] [Site "Site-77, L'Aquila, ITA"] [Date "2011.05.04"] [Round "4"] [White "SCP-3750 (via D-3750-1)"] [Black "Junior Researcher Joselyn Tal"] [Result "0 - 1"] [WhiteElo "Unrated"] [BlackElo "2083"] {D-3750-1 was instructed to follow SCP-3750's suggestions as closely as possible and transcribe its communications.} 1. e4 e5 2.

SCP-3750 replaced a German infantry unit. Result: SCP-3750 (as the Axis player) instructed D-3750-1 to focus all resources on North Africa, neglecting the Eastern Front, noting that "Those commie fucks couldn't invade a fruit basket." Winner: Researcher Capablanca + Test Log 3750-3 - Test Log 3750-3 Test Date: 2011/05/06 Researcher: Junior Researchers Capablanca and Tal Game: Agricola. SCP-3750 replaced a "family member" marker. Result: SCP-3750 instructed Researcher Tal to ignore all food production in favor of development as "this crib ain't gonna build itself." Winner: Researcher Capablanca Addendum(2011/09/23): Following incident 3750-1, procedures and regulations regarding access to and testing of SCP-3750 have been updated to reflect new knowledge. + Incident 3750-1 - Incident 3750-1 During a testing session, researchers Tal and Capablanca entered a conversation on the current financial state of Site-77. When SCP-3750 came in contact with a spreadsheet containing financial information, including quarterly expenditure forecasts, SCP-3750 made telepathic contact with the entire financial staff of Site-77. A transcription of the communication is embedded below. "You bitches gotta be more aggressive with your funding. This fifteen-oh-seven thing? Why the fuck do you need soundproofing for plastic lawn ornaments? You nerds are blowing so much money that you could be using to get serious pussy. Why the fuck do you call everything "safe" if you're going to soundproof and bulletproof and waterproof everything? Seriously, what's the worst that could happen? Current hypotheses state that SCP-3750 detected the financial workings of Site-77 as a "game" and the financial staff as "players." In order to prevent public knowledge of Foundation information, a more stringent policy was enacted in which potential systems are screened before contact with SCP-3750. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3750" by junkmail-lt, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3751 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3751 Special Containment Procedures: All major chess tournaments are to be monitored by Foundation agents stationed at their locations for SCP-3751. The Foundation has reached agreements with the FIDE, USCF, and many other major chess organizations to allow direct monitoring of all chess tournaments and events sponsored by these organizations through electronic surveillance as well as the use of onsite agents. Foundation personnel are to monitor all emergency channels in case of civilian contact with an instance of SCP-3751. If an instance of SCP-3751 manifests at any event Mobile Task Force Theta-3 "Deep Blue" is to be deployed and secure all instances present. Class A amnestics are to be administered to all civilians involved. Once those involved in the incident are secured, they are to undergo a 5-7 day re-identification process where they will receive Class-F amnestics in order to re-identify them with their new person. Once it has been ascertained that they possess no memory of their previous lives, they will be released back into the public and continue on in the life of their new person. Description: SCP-3751 is an anomalous chess position achieved by playing the following moves1: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. f3 O-O 6. Be3 a6 7. Nge2 c6 [REDACTED] Upon the playing of these moves, all people who have made moves during the game will have their consciousness randomly switched to the body of any other player in the game. These people's chess statistics will also be completely randomized, as well as all memory of these statistics being true will become accepted by all other people except those affected by SCP-3751. For example, if player A and player B are the only two players who have made moves in a game of chess that reaches SCP-3751, the following will happen: - The consciousnesses of players A and B will switch bodies. Player A's consciousness will take up player B's body, and vice versa. - Their approximate or exact chess ratings at the time of the incident will become randomized, becoming anywhere from zero to the combined rankings of these two people multiplied by 2. - The total number of games played by them will be completely randomized, even reaching numbers which are theoretically impossible for the time either player has lived. - A number of other chess statistics of both players will be randomized in similar fashions, including preferred strategies, the age at which they began playing chess, specific games they have played, etc. - All people except for players A and B will remember their statistics as being these new ones. If player A is rated at 2000 ELO points and B is rated at 2100 ELO2 points, SCP-3751 happens, and their new ratings become 1500 and 2700, all other people will accept their ratings as always being these values, while the players will remember their old ratings. The same applies with all other statistics. There is no known way of reversing the effects of SCP-3751. Addendum 1: Initial Discovery The first and thus far only time that SCP-3751 has occurred outside of a controlled testing environment was on ██/██/2013 during the 2013 ██████ Tournament in a blitz3 game between ██████ B███████ and █████ P█████. B███████ and P█████ were rated at 2239 and 2401 ELO points respectively. The game began normally, with B███████ having the white pieces. After roughly 5 minutes of gameplay, the players successfully manifested an SCP-3751 event with it's effects occurring immediately after P█████ retracted her hand from the piece she moved. B███████ and P█████ reacted with confusion and fear to the sudden change. Bystanders who were not aware of what had happened as per SCP-3751's effects continued watching the game uninterrupted. The players then asked each other to confirm if the switch of bodies they had experienced has just actually occurred. As per the rules of this chess origination, an arbiter stepped in to remind them that talking during a game was not permitted. The players, now distressed and confused at what had happened, began to speak to the people around them about what they had just experienced. It should be noted that SCP-3751 had caused both players to experience a significant jump in ELO rating to what is considered World-Class level. Many people looked on at the antics of the two in confusion, not knowing what had caused them to act this way. Out of frustration and panic, B███████ in P█████'s body (from here on referred to as SCP-3751-1, with P█████ being SCP-3751-2) became violent with bystanders. At this point, police were notified and SCP-3751-1 was taken into custody while SCP-3751-2 remained at the scene for questioning. Foundation police channel monitors and internet crawlers picked up on potentially anomalous activity at this point and agents were sent in to investigate. SCP-3751-1 and 2 were taken into Foundation custody while all bystanders at the site of incidence were administered Class-A amnestics. All videos and other records of the incident were quickly removed from the internet and their respective devices. Addendum 2: SCP-3751-1 and 2 interviews Following SCP-3751-1 and 2 being taken into Foundation custody, several interviews were done with them to determine precisely what had happened. The following are transcripts of these interviews. Interviewed: SCP-3751-1 Interviewer: Dr. John Anshe <Begin Log> Anshe: Hello, I want to ask you a couple questions about what happened to you at the chess tournament. Please remain calm and answer them as best you can. SCP-3751-1: Alright Anshe: So from what we can understand, you have somehow been transferred into █████ P█████'s body. Is this correct? SCP-3751-1: Yes, I have no idea how it happened. She played a move and [gestures with hand] I'm in her body. I have no idea how it happened. Anshe: It appears you are a bit confused about your old identity. Prior to this incident, you were ██████ B███████ a ██-year-old male chess player from █████████. You had an ELO rating of roughly 2███ and were considered one of the greatest players of all time, is this correct? SCP-3751-1: I wish it was, but no. I had a ranking of 2239. Pretty high, but nothing spectacular. Everything else is right. Anshe: Alright, do you feel anything out of the ordinary in this new body? Any pain, headaches, unusual emotions? SCP-3751-1: No, uh, no, nothing Anshe: Nothing at all? SCP-3751-1: No Anshe: OK, why did you attack those people at the event? SCP-3751-1: I don't know, something just came over me. I just got so confused and panicked at becoming █████ that I just flipped out. I don't know what's going on at all. Anshe: Alright, that's all we need to know. Thank you. <End Log> Interviewed: SCP-3751-2 Interviewer: Dr. John Anshe <Begin Log> Anshe: Hello, I have just finished interviewing your opponent in the game. I asked him some questions about what happened. I'm going to ask you some similar ones, OK? SCP-3751-2: Alright, I guess Anshe: So you were playing against B███████ at the tournament, and somehow you switched bodies with each other. Is this correct? SCP-3751-2: Yes Anshe: Do you have any idea of what may have caused it? SCP-3751-2: No, none at all. Anshe: Alright. According to record, you are █████ P█████, a ██-year-old female chess player from █████, with an ELO rating of 2███, is this correct? SCP-3751-2: Um, no. I had a rating of around 2400. It was never that high. Everything other than that is correct. Anshe: OK. Do you feel anything unusual in this new body? Any strange emotions, pains, feelings you don't recognize. SCP-3751-2: No, I don't think so. Just a new body. Anshe: Alright, that's all I need to know. Thank you. <End Log> Following these interviews, a series of Class-F amnestics were administered to SCP-3751-1 and 2 in order to wipe all memory of their previous lives and accustom them with their new ones. SCP-3751-1 had been reidentified after five days of this procedure, -2 after seven. Both of these people were then released back into the public, being designated POIs 3129 and 3130. It should be noted that POI-3129 (now P█████, formally SCP-3751-1) quit playing chess for unknown reasons two years after the incident in 2015. However, further investigation of their playing hiatus has been deemed unnecessary. POI-3130 has continued playing chess uninterrupted, now being as skilled as the rating which was given to him during the incident (2███). Addendum 3: Testing with D-Class personnel On ██/██/2013, further testing on the phenomenon of SCP-3751 using D-Class personnel was requested to and approved by the O5 council. The following is a record of all test logs made during these experiments. Test A Subjects: Two D-Class personnel, each with moderate amounts of Chess experience Procedure: Have the players play a series of moves to achieve the position of SCP-3751. At which point, the effects of the phenomenon would be more precisely recorded. Results: As with the initial case, both players switched consciousness with the other's body. Analysis of their playing skill now seemed to show that one of them was now significantly better than he was before, able to beat Dr. ██████, a FIDE-certified International master. The other now apparently possessed a record of being a significantly poorer player than he was before. However, when played against, he demonstrated a skill level akin to that described by him prior to the test. Analysis: It appears that whether or not the change in perceived experience affects the involved's actual playing ability is somewhat random. To determine the rate at which this effect actually occurs will require further testing. Test B Subject: 4 Class-D personnel Procedure: Have each of the players play different moves in the game to determine how SCP-3751 affects more than two people Results: The consciousnesses of the four players were seemingly randomized between them. All other effects of 2-player SCP-3751 games were the same. Analysis: Adding additional people does seemingly little to change the effects of SCP-3751. Addendum 4: Testing on other anomalous entities The body-switching nature of SCP-3751 created an interest in experimentation of other SCPs that posses similar abilities, such as SCP-1875 and SCP-963. However, due to the potentially unintended consequences of experimenting with these entities, testing on them has been indefinitely postponed. Footnotes 1. See The Algebraic Notation 2.

SCP-3752 | safe | Item #: SCP-3752 Threat Level: ● Green Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3752 and the 200 m radius of land surrounding it, denoted as Area-3752, have been quarantined. The personnel assigned to SCP-3752 reside and work from Site-1969, situated 205 m North of SCP-3752. No vital personnel (Researchers, Specialists etc.) are to progress further than 5 m into Area-3752. Civilians inside Area-3752 are to be detained, questioned and released. Cover-up stories are to be provided, defining Area-3752 as harboring an unstable mine prone to collapsing. Fatalities are to be covered up similarly. Furthermore, personnel assigned to the SCP-3752 project are to take note of these thresholds. However, Class-D personnel are not to be informed of them to at least partially ensure their cooperation during testing. The estimates have been created after Test 3752-T#10. Distance / Range Classification / Effect 0-5 m Safe 5-10 m Dangerous (only Class-D personnel are allowed beyond this point) 11 m Latest possible time of onset of hypothermia 12-20 m Unconsciousness highly likely 21-23 m Expiration imminent, occurred in 75% of cases 24 m Should be considered the barrier of expiration, as 100% of subjects have died to this date 185 m Insufficiently shielded drones stop working Near basement At this time, all drones stop working1 Description: SCP-3752 denotes a building situated in Sochi (Russia), which resembles a heavily damaged prison facility. Remains of 28 persons are visible inside Area-3752, 9 of which are Foundation personnel. SCP-3752 is considered the anomaly's core, with Area-3752 exhibiting unusual properties as well. When a living organism enters Area-3752 the ambient temperature of 18 °C drops by 3 °C. Why the ambient temperature inside Area-3752 constantly stays at 18 °C and how it is maintained is currently unknown. Research into this matter is ongoing. Proceeding towards SCP-3752 causes the body temperature of the organism to decrease by increments of 0.185 °C. The effect is reversed when gaining distance from the center. Addendum 3752-A#1: Following the results of Test 3752-T#4, it has been determined that Area-3752 can affect non-organic materials without causing damage by rapidly changing their temperature. Further tests are being conducted. > Test Log 3752-T#1 : Exploration of anomalous properties < Test Log 3752-T#1 Procedures: Class-D personnel D-9742 (32 years, male) sent into Area-3752. Subject ordered to constantly report readings from heartbeat monitor, GPS and temperature sensors attached to thorax and scalp. Notes: All reports from D-9742 were concised to redact irrelevant information. 00:00:00: Test begun. 00:00:43: 6 m inside Area-3752. Core temperature at 35.89 °C. Heartbeat slowed (68 BPM). 00:00:57: D-9742 observed shivering. Subject attempts to retract from Area-3752. Subject ordered to continue. Subject complied. 00:01:28: 14 m inside Area-3752. Core temperature at 34.41 °C. Heartbeat slowed (58 BPM). 00:01:33: Subject was observed to be shivering profusely, but remained on course. 00:02:04: 20 m inside Area-3752. Core temperature at 33.3 °C. Heartbeat slowed significantly (47 BPM). 00:02:46 (last report): 22 m inside Area-3752. Core temperature at 32.93 °C. Heartbeat slowed significantly (33 BPM). Result: 6 seconds after the last report, D-9742 collapsed and presumably expired. No recovery attempted. > Test Log 3752-T#4 : Third / last attempt at counteracting Area-3752's effects < Test Log 3752-T#4 Procedures: Class D personnel D-10283 (29 years, male) was sent into Area-3752. Subject equipped with heavy-duty wet suit and insulated protective clothing lined with [DATA EXPUNGED] to keep their body temperatures at an acceptable level. Result: 9 seconds after last report was made and D-10283 crossed the 24 m threshold, the subject collapsed and reception of readings at Site-1969 ceased. Notes: D-11278, a 30 year old male in above-average condition, was sent to retrieve D-10283's body and equipment. The former was not brought back, the latter was. Notes by Project Head Jensen: We still don't have a way to protect ourselves from the cold or whatever causes this drop of temperature. If what we gave that Class-D wasn't enough, we might not be able to go beyond 24 meters. At all. Notes by Technician, inspecting equipment given to D-10283: This is interesting. None of the devices have been damaged by the cold. They basically got shock-frozen, but it appears this "cold" is different. That's also apparent because after we came back with it and measured the temperature of the parts inside and the casing, we found all of them at a little over 12 °C. Following the inspection, the Description was updated. > Test Log 3752-T#5 : Exploration of Area-3752 using drone < Test Log 3752-T#5 Procedures: Remote-controlled drone, designation RF-882-28-2, controlled from Site-1969, with camera sent into Area-3752. Video feed received by Site-1969 command. 00:00:00: Test begun. Drone turned on and introduced into Area-3752. Sensors immediately registered drop of temperature, both of surroundings and of drone. 00:00:07: 11 m in Area-3752. Temperature of drone and surroundings unchanged. This indicates that SCP-3752 does not somehow modify Area-3752 itself, only the organisms inside. 00:01:04: 70 m in Area-3752. Sudden temperature drop of surroundings registered, now at -19 °C. Drone temperature beginning to drop. 00:01:52: 114 m in Area-3752. Temperature of drone now also -19 °C. Temperature adjustments seem to happen quickly inside Area-3752. 00:03:18: Closing in on SCP-3752, distance estimated to have been 30 m. Camera feed slowly fading into green, interference visible as well. Once distance was estimated to be 15 m, camera feed cut out, presumably due to electromagnetic interference. Notes: No attempt at recovery made. Fate of drone unknown. Possibly destroyed due to falling from the air or simply unpowered due to EM interference. Notes by Project Head Jensen: Is this disappointing? Yes. Will this stop us from going on? No. The progress we've made with that drone is phenomenal. We might just be able to see into SCP-3752 if that is actually EMI. With the appropriate shielding, we can get anything through there. Come on, people, let's take Five and then prepare another drone. Use an RF-1027-77-7 this time. It has better resistance against EMI. Let's hope it's enough. > Test Log 3752-T#6 : Attempt at penetrating EM field inside Area-3752 using drone < Test Log 3752-T#6 Procedures: Remote-controlled drone, designation RF-1027-77-7, controlled from Site-1969, with camera sent into Area-3752. Video feed received by Site-1969 command. Results largely similar to Test 3752-T#5. Redacted until significant differences were observed. 00:03:03: Closing in on SCP-3752, distance estimated to have been 30 m. Camera feed slowly fading into green, interference visible as well. 00:03:21: Penetrated EM field. 5 m until contact with SCP-3752. 00:03:27: Drone now inside SCP-3752, assumed to be on 4th floor. 00:07:58: Navigation through the compound successful. Attempts at entering basement failed. 00:08:01: Back-to-base command issued. 00:11:22: Arrived at base. Footage from drone retrieved. Notes by Project Head Jensen: We have to continue testing. There has to be a way to enter the basement, maybe by weaponizing a 243-99. Grenades with miniature impact fuzes might just be able to blast the door open. If that doesn't work… Well, we already know that the floors aren't that thick, so a big enough blast… you know. Anyway, that's gonna be a sort-of last resort procedure. We're gonna program some kind of bomb to detonate after 5 minutes and let another 1027-77… "do the job". We won't get that one back, so don't waste a 243-99 on it. Notes by Technician, inspecting drone: Again, interesting. No damage sustained. That EM field is not as strong as we thought initially, otherwise this drone would be toast, as well. > Test Log 3752-T#7 : Attempt at gaining access to basement of SCP-3752 < Test Log 3752-T#7 Procedures: A drone, designation RF-243-99-4, was modified to launch MK3A2 concussion grenades and sent to SCP-3752, in hopes of blasting the door connecting the basement to a stairwell. Results: Door could withstand the explosion. No damage visible. Drone arrived at base, video footage retrieved successfully. Notes by Project Head Jensen: So we'll have to sacrifice one of the 1027-77. We'll prepare one, put a bomb on it and get in there forcefully. > Test Log 3752-T#8 : Second attempt at gaining access to basement of SCP-3752 < Test Log 3752-T#8 Procedures: A drone, designation RF-1027-77-18, was equipped with a Composition C-4 load and a remote receiver linked to the detonator and sent to SCP-3752, in hopes of blasting through the ground floor. Results: As expected, the drone was lost. Results of the explosion unknown and to be determined in Test 3752-T#9. > Test Log 3752-T#9 : Determination of effectiveness of explosion in Test 3752-T#8 + Continuation of exploration < Test Log 3752-T#9 Procedures: A drone, designation RF-243-99-11, was sent to SCP-3752 to determine the effectiveness of the explosion in Test 3752-T#8 and continue exploring. Results: Once SCP-3752 was entered, interference on camera feed massively increased. Upon closing in on the ground floor, the camera feed cut out, however, the drone was still controllable. It was carefully moved back up to the fourth floor and removed from the building. Arrival at base approximately 4 minutes later. Notes by Project Head Jensen: Someone is somehow hiding something down there. ██████, get another drone ready- an HD73-4. That is one of our best… Yes, do it already, I'll do the paperwork. > Test Log 3752-T#10 : Second attempt at determination of effectiveness of explosion in Test 3752-T#8 < Test Log 3752-T#10 Procedures: A drone, designation RF-HD73-4-2, was sent to SCP-3752, in hopes of being able to determine the effectiveness of the explosion in Test 3752-T#8. Results identical until SCP-3752 was entered. 00:03:30: SCP-3752 entered. Interference increased, camera feed did not cut out. 00:03:47: Ground floor entered. Interference again increased, camera feed still visible. Drone could still be controlled. 00:03:54: Explosion aftermath now visible. [MOVED] 00:16:31: Arrival at base. Video footage retrieved successfully. Notes: Results logged below. Level 5 authorization required. > Test 3752-T#10 Results – [LEVEL 5 AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED] < Test 3752-T10 Results - [SECURITY CLEARANCE LEVEL ADEQUATE] In the basement of SCP-3752, a series of generators and, as it seems, the source of the EMI. It has been described as a "rift", 3 m wide, 6 m high and floating 1 m above the ground. The rim has a dark red tint and is 0.4 m wide. The inside is black with no other colorations observed. During the observation, approximately 1,400 unknown, black entities have left, 450 have entered the rift, respectively. After leaving it, they seemingly phased through the walls. Observers from Site-1969 could not see them emerging from the ground. Entities entering the rift first left the walls, then directly entered it. Between the entities leaving and entering the rift, no size differences have been observed. It is unknown what these entities do outside what the Foundation assumes to be their universe. Footnotes 1. O5-█ and -8 are currently discussing with high-level technicians to determine if the construction of new drones should be initiated to find out what exactly SCP-3752's basement harbors. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3752" by kliqx_ad, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3753 | safe | SCP-3753 Item #: SCP-3753 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3753 instances are kept in an airtight box and stored in a climate-controlled item locker. Description: SCP-3753 denotes 119 unbranded chamomile teabags in a handmade wooden box. When a person with an infection or physical ailment prepares SCP-3753 and drinks the resulting tea, they will enter a deep sleep. When they wake, the subject will forcibly and painlessly expel the offending pathogens or organ from an appropriate orifice. The ejected matter, designated SCP-3753-A, will grow until it reaches the subject's approximate height and sprout two arms. A boxing bell sound will then be audible, with no discernible source. SCP-3753-A will proceed to engage the subject in hand-to-hand combat until one of the two submits or is knocked out. It is unknown how the subject continues to maintain bodily function even when vital organs are expelled. Subjects gain an innate awareness of SCP-3753's effects, and usually choose to engage it. If the subject attempts to attack SCP-3753-A with a weapon, SCP-3753-A will simply demanifest and the subject's body will return to its original state. If the subject is victorious, SCP-3753-A will shrink until it vanishes with a puff of steam. The subject will fall asleep again, and any removed organs will reappear inside their body. Upon waking, the subject will report significant, often total, recovery from the illness or ailment. If the subject fails to defeat SCP-3753-A, SCP-3753-A will forcibly reenter the body, and the subject's condition will be unchanged. The box spontaneously generates one new SCP-3753 instance every morning. Abridged SCP-3753 Test Log: # Subject Ailment SCP-3753-A Victor Notes 01 Emma Lister Acute bronchitis Enlarged virus Lister Baseline test. Lister knocked out SCP-3753-A, which dissipated. Lister reported full cessation of her symptoms within 8 hours. 03 Dr. Rivka Yarkoni Stress ulcer Stomach SCP-3753-A SCP-3753-A subdued Dr. Yarkoni with an armbar and reentered through the mouth. Dr. Yarkoni reported no change in ulcer conditions. 08 Director Rosie Spinal disc herniation Spine Rosie SCP-3753-A instance notably feigned defeat to launch a surprise attack, but was still defeated. Director Rosie's hernia remained but the pain subsided greatly. 11 Agent Ursula Nunez Hypertension and depression. Vascular system in humanoid shape, brain1 Nunez Nunez engaged both instances, shouting various profanities. The vascular system demanifested after Nunez defeated it, and Nunez proceeded to violently assault her brain with her fists and feet even after it submitted. Later followup reported significant alleviation of her hypertension, consistently higher serotonin levels, and decreased frequency of depressive episodes. Nunez requested repeated uses of SCP-3753. 16 Henrik Sturmatem Stage III lung cancer Cancerous cell SCP-3753-A Sturmatem fought and wrestled with the SCP-3753-A instance for 22 minutes and refused to surrender before collapsing from exhaustion.

SCP-3754 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3754 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation web crawlers are to routinely conduct traces on downloads of SCP-3754, prioritizing individuals who have processed micropayments through SCP-3754. On a successful trace, the owner of SCP-3754's host device is to be amnesticized, and the device reset to factory defaults. In the event of a relaunch of SCP-3754, the developers are to be traced and detained, while the store page is forcibly removed from all mobile app stores. A disinformation campaign is to be initiated claiming injuries related to SCP-3754 are the results of self-mutilation. Description: SCP-3754 is a mobile video game titled "Pocket Pet Collector Plus!", created by amateur entrepreneurial group "Accelerate The Future". The gameplay of SCP-3754 is similar to games known as virtual pet simulators, which require the player to attend to the pet's needs in order to gain its affection. It was available for free download on Google Play and Amazon Kindle stores from 09/23/██ to 11/03/██, during which it amassed a dedicated online community before being removed from both stores. Despite this, SCP-3754 will remain functional unless the software is uninstalled from its host device. SCP-3754's main screen displays a pair of cartoonish eyes and a mouth, both of which are animate. The top of the display shows three bars, representing SCP-3754's happiness, its affection for the player, and its hunger, respectively. Two icons in the bottom corners of the screen indicate the player's inventory and a store the player can visit to buy items to raise SCP-3754's meters, such as toys and food. Along the left side of the display is a meter gauging the amount of accumulated calories. When the caloric meter is entirely filled, SCP-3754's host device will manifest a one-way portal in place of its screen, through which an egg (designated SCP-3754-O) will be produced. The created portal will disappear immediately after an SCP-3754-O has fully manifested. SCP-3754-O instances manifest in a variety of colors and each possesses a micro-USB port on its air cell. When a micro USB cable (typically a phone charger) is connected to SCP-3754-O and allowed to charge, the instance will hatch after a period of ten minutes to reveal an animal figurine. All figurines produced from SCP-3754-O instances possess an identifying tag, listing their name and color scheme. Tests have concluded that all figurines are non-anomalous. While SCP-3754 was marketed as free-to-play, some aspects offered players the option to purchase premium in-game items with legal tender to increase the rate at which meters charge.1. Even though this is effective in maintaining SCP-3754's affection and happiness, premium food items2 were found to slowly increase the rate of hunger. If SCP-3754 is given an item purchased from the in-app store and then fed a free item, the entity will respond with hostility and a desire to be fed exclusively with items from the in-app store. If this desire is not attended to, SCP-3754 will typically wait until contact has been made with the screen and consume the physical matter. This is followed by simulated sound bytes of chewing and gulping, occasionally accompanied by a low-frequency vibration from the host device. Field Notes: The online community surrounding SCP-3754 displayed varying amounts of dedication, with an average of 200 hours among the majority of players. Those that played longer were more likely to accept SCP-3754's hostility as a game feature. Incidentally, long-term players were found to also have larger collections of mini-figurines with more diversity in rarity. This led to players starting rumors that SCP-3754's consumption of human flesh increased the possibility of an SCP-3754-O instance yielding a rare mini-figurine. Figurines produced by SCP-3754-O are traded and sold online as collectibles, with figurines having been produced without using the in-app shop being valued highly. +[Access Selected User Reviews] -[Access Granted] Below is a list of reviews chosen by staff assigned to SCP-3754 for their insight into its functions, anomalous properties, and influence on its community.

I'm not a big fan of the microtransactions though, but since they aren't always pushing it I can keep playing without spending money!

Report this post? Posted on 10/22/██ Stan D█████ ⭐⭐☆☆☆ Ok the thing bit me and i went to call for the hospital and missed the home button and it chewed off my ear (real shitty atf, plz fix), but it got full calories after that and dropped an egg. I checked out the egg and i got layla (the yellow frog one). Been playing this game for months and all my friends at school got layla way before i did, so i'm thinking maybe real food makes rare drops more likely? Still not happy about my ear tho so i'm done playing for a while. 89 users found this review useful. Report this post? Posted on 10/28/██ daniel t. p█████ ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ I grabbed this game on release and I'm still liking this game a month in! I was surprised that it actually tried to bite me, but I got a stylus pen and that made it safer to keep playing. However, if you want those super rares, I have a few tips. 1. Nail trimmings and hair are a no-go! They do little for calories and only make your pet sad! 2. Dog/Cat food doesn't do much for happiness, but a tablespoon can give up to a 10% increase in calories! I don't personally suggest this since the average can of wet cat food is a bit more expensive than the premium food and does about the same, but real pet owners might be willing to give you some if you ask. 3. Smart phones fill up faster than Kindles! Smaller platform = smaller stomach! 4. If you have real pets, get a kennel! My virtual pet learned how to do the whistle I use for my dog and it didn't end up well, so keep your pets safe. Update: A lot of you are asking if Stacy (my dog) is okay, and she is! She's just missing a paw now. :( 116 users found this review useful. Report this post? Posted on 10/31/██ Ryan M██████ ⭐☆☆☆☆ I'm done playing until the developer fixes how drop rates work because this is unreasonable! I was convinced that letting the game eat me would give me super rares, but that just isn't the case. I gave up both of my pinky fingers and I got "Peppermint, the Candy-Kangaroo". I went online to see how much shes worth and apparently no one else has her. People started offering a lot of money, and I really want a car before graduation, so I let the thing take a few more bites. I even got a few more rares! But all good things come to an end. My latest drop was "Vinny, the White Tortoise" and I'm devastated about it. I don't think I need to explain how disappointed I was just looking at such a common minifig. Its hard for me to walk without it hurting, my thighs and biceps constantly feel on fire. I never felt so cheated in my life! 67 users found this review useful. Report this post? Posted on 11/01/██ +[Incident Log 3754.22: 12/02/██] -[Access Granted] Following a traced SCP-3754 host device, MTF Sigma-91 ("Brovum") infiltrated an apartment located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with the intention of confiscating the device for testing purposes. The owner of the apartment, Stuart Holder (age 28), was prominent in forums centered on helping newer players expand their collections, as well as known for having a diverse collection himself. Video logs of the infiltration show the apartment to have been clean and organized in the front room, with a bookshelf filled with figures and toys from multiple franchises, as well as figurines from SCP-3754-O instances. The kitchen was similar in cleanliness, save for a trash bin full of common refuse and clumps of thick blonde hair. After Sigma-91-Bravo collected a sample, the unit moved into the bedroom. The majority of the bedroom floor was lined with plastic sheets. A female human torso was found leaning against a wall with a Kindle Fire resting on the base of the neck with SCP-3754 active on the device. As Sigma-91-Echo moved closer to inspect the corpse, Holder emerged from the nearby bathroom and attacked Echo with a plunger. Holder was terminated during the exchange. Aside from the bullet wounds inflicted by Sigma-91, there were no indications of harm, self or otherwise, anywhere on Holder's body. The autopsy following the incident confirmed the torso to have belonged to Norma Clark, Holder's partner as inferred from social media. She had expired approximately four days prior to the incident due to nine stab wounds in the back and four stab wounds in the chest. The hair sample taken from the trash bin was matched with Clark's DNA. No other limbs were found in the apartment. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3755 | euclid | A glass jar holding 755 pieces of candy. This image is known to be able to induce SCP-3755-1. Item #: SCP-3755 Special Containment Procedures: Personnel reading this document are required to examine the attached photograph before reading beyond this paragraph. Those unable to immediately identify the number of objects pictured, as indicated by the caption, should close this file and report to the Senior Researcher assigned to SCP-37551. Otherwise, no special action is required before reading the rest of this document. Warning: The following material contains Class I Cognitohazards. Read the above portion of the Special Containment Procedures before proceding. Foundation staff unable to display SCP-3755-1 or who show symptoms of SCP-3755-2 should be reported to the Senior Researcher assigned to SCP-3755 for documentation and treatment. Persons showing symptoms of SCP-3755-2 are not to be made aware of their condition. Clearance Level 2/3755 is required to access this document. Clearance Level 2/3755 is not to be given to personnel symptomatic of SCP-3755-2. Information regarding SCP-3755, particularly known SCP-3755-2 manifestations, is considered cognitohazardous to anyone who does not possess Clearance Level 2/3755. The number 755 is on the list of keywords monitored by Foundation web crawlers. Situations where SCP-3755 is suspected to have been discovered by members of the public are to be investigated and contained using procedures standard for outbreaks of Class I Cognitohazards2, with the additional provision that all members of the responding MTF must have Clearance Level 2/3755. Description: SCP-3755-1 is a phenomenon where individuals presented with 755 similar items are able to assess the exact number of items in the set. This enumeration is performed immediately (within <100ms) and has only been observed with sets of 755 objects. Subjects who display SCP-3755-1 show high confidence in their assessment and show no surprise when proven correct, even when reminded of the unlikelihood of perfect estimation with such a large number of objects. MRI scans comparing brains performing SCP-3755-1 and non-anomalous subitizing display similar activation patterns. SCP-3755-1 can be displayed by 83% of humans capable of subitizing. SCP-3755-2 is a psychological condition found in those unable to display SCP-3755-13. Subjects affected by SCP-3755-2 exhibit hesitance in situations that require the assignment of numerical values to physical objects or abstract concepts. The condition initially manifests uniquely in each individual who suffers from SCP-3755-2, influencing a single aspect of their daily lives (See Document SCP-3755-A for examples of known cases.). When a person discovers they are unable to display SCP-3755-1, their SCP-3755-2 symptoms worsen4. The development of these symptoms progresses as follows: Phase 1 (Initial State): Subjects regularly suffer minor doubt when recalling numbers, counting objects, or estimating amounts in relation to their SCP-3755-2 manifestation. These doubts usually manifest as light urges to recount or recheck their source on a matter. Phase 2 (72 Hours After Exposure to SCP-3755-1): SCP-3755-2 symptoms increase in intensity. Subjects feel anxiety when introduced to situations connected to their manifestation. Phase 3 (1 Week After Exposure): Subjects cannot perform tasks which involve their SCP-3755-2 manifestation without seeking confirmation on their assessments. This confirmation must come from an another individual. Phase 4 (3 Weeks After Exposure): Subjects no longer find external confirmation sufficient to calm their doubts. Phase 5 (1 Month After Exposure): Subjects reject all numerical assessments that relate to the area of their SCP-3755-2 manifestation, even when such assessments originate from outside sources such as trusted colleagues or friends. Progression through these phases can be more rapid in cases where subjects have existing anxiety or compulsive disorders. SCP-3755-2 symptoms can be lowered to Phase 1 levels through the application of Class B amnestics targeting the memories of SCP-3755-1 exposure. Amnestic treatment has only proven effective before the onset of Phase 4. Additionally, SCP-3755-2 manifestations appear to be transmittable. When the details of another person's symptoms are brought to the attention of someone susceptible to SCP-3755-2, they begin to display similar symptoms. The reason for this transmission is unknown. Ongoing research focuses on determining if the transmission vector is a form of hypochondria or an anomalous memetic effect. Amnestics are ineffective in purging transmitted symptoms of SCP-3755-2. + Document SCP-3755-A: SCP-3755-2 Manifestation Log - Clearance Level 2/3755 Confirmed This record contains a partial list of members of Foundation staff known to be affected by SCP-3755-2.

SCP-3756 | safe | Item #: SCP-3756 Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation is to monitor information distributed by global space agencies1 regarding Ganymede. Provisional Site-9354 has been established in Yellow Hill, Texas to assist in containment of SCP-3756. The location is to remain closed to the public and access restricted to level-3 personnel. Description: SCP-3756 is the spatial location of the Rounder House Square Dance Hall building, which exists simultaneously within the American state of Texas, and on the surface of the Jovian moon Ganymede. An illustration of CGRD-1 This anomalous property is not evident to visitors of the establishment2, and no effects of the Ganymedian surface or atmosphere are apparent anywhere on the premises. Entering SCP-3756 via any means will simultaneously render subjects as extant both on Earth and Ganymede. The actions of an individual performed on Earth are mimicked by their duplicate on Ganymede while in SCP-3756. Discovery: On October 14, 2010, a weak, continuous radio broadcast was detected from Ganymede. While over 85% of the transmission's integrity was compromised, the signal was sufficiently organized to determine that it was not random. Foundation Probe J4D33 was launched on July 26th, 2011 to further investigate. UPDATE: As of May 1, 2017, FPJ4D3 has entered Ganymedian orbit. Records of extracted information are available in FPJ4D3 Logs 1-3. Addendum: FPJ4D3 Log 1: Date: May 7, 2017 Subject: Unidentified Ganymedian radio transmission. Project Head: Dr. Richardet [BEGIN LOG] 0114 GMT: FPJ4D3 first comes into transmission position within its orbit above transmission source of Ganymedian broadcast.4 0115 GMT: FPJ4D3 begins broadcast of Arecibo Message towards Ganymedian transmission source.5 0118 GMT: FPJ4D3 concludes broadcast of Arecibo Message and begins enhanced transmission of Ganymedian broadcast to Earth. 0151 GMT: Broadcast decoded and identified as a 1949 recording of "Foggy Mountain Breakdown".6 0152 GMT: Dr. Richardet approved the transmission of the following broadcast. "Hello, this message arrives from a planetary neighbor. We come in peace, seeking information as to your current situation. Do you understand English?" 0255 GMT: Enhanced transmission of Ganymedian broadcast reaches Earth. The message is transcribed: "You god damn punks and your newfangled gadgets. Scram! We're in the middle of a dance-off here and y'all just interrupted a good time!" No further transmissions authorized; FPJ4D3 utilized to gather photographic data on the transmission source until it moves beyond observational range at 0414 GMT.

The message is transcribed: "Boy, you ain't ever heard of square dancing? That's what we's all 'bout here. Now could you please stop interruptin' our music? It's upsetting our patrons." 0233 GMT: The following message was transmitted from Earth to SCP-3756. "Where are you located?" 0301 GMT: Enhanced transmission from SCP-3756 reaches Earth. The message is transcribed: "You again? Is this some kind of prank? We're between the bowling alley and the drugstore. Now scram, it's ladies' night." [This is followed by the sound of what is assumed to be a phone being slammed onto its receiver. No further transmissions detected from SCP-3756.] 0314: FPJ4D3 exits transmission range of SCP-3756. [END LOG] FPJ4D3 Log 3: Date: June 2, 2017 Subject: SCP-3756.8 Project Head: Dr. Richardet [BEGIN LOG] 0247 GMT: FPJ4D3 re-enters orbital position above SCP-3756 and deploys Compact Ganymedian Rover Drone CGRD-1 to the satellite's surface. Transmitted camera feed follows. CGRD-1 extends a pneumatic arm and engages the door to SCP-3756. Footage reveals 27 humans wearing clothing in line with contemporary fashion trends, with the addition of bolo ties, wide-brimmed hats, and oversized belt buckles. All inhabitants direct their attention to CGRD-1. SCP-3756-19 approaches and investigates CGRD-1. SCP-3756-1: "What on God's green— Darla, did you order some kinda… drone… thingy?" SCP-3756-2:10 "I ain't ordered nothin' but corn chips and beer this week. That thing looks like one of them rover drones. Maybe it's Nick's?" SCP-3756-1: "Nick, what are you doing driving your dang toy in here? Unidentified Speaker: "…Can it dance?" [Due to an unexpected decrease in signal latency, several commands were fulfilled by CGRD-1 in rapid succession. Camera feed displays pneumatic arms swinging as the drone moves around the premises.] SCP-3756-1: "Well shoot, lookit that thing go!" 0350 GMT: FPJ4D3 exits transmission range of SCP-3756. [END LOG] Addendum 2: On June 3, 2017, a local newspaper in Yellow Hill, TX ran an article entitled "ROBOT DOES THE ROBOT IN LOCAL DANCE HALL." Foundation assets deployed.

SCP-3757 | keter | Item #: SCP-3757 Special Containment Procedures: Currently, there is an unknown number of uncontained SCP-3757 instances. Captured SCP-3757 instances are to be kept collectively in a standard insectoid containment cell with dim lighting. A used rubber tire is to be placed in the containment cell every two days for consumption. Areas affected by SCP-3757 are to be concealed with black tarp extending 2 meters taller than the area and surrounded by wire fencing. Additionally, signs stating that the area is "under construction" are to be placed along the perimeter. All fixtures may be removed only after the metamorphosis is completed (three weeks on average) and the area is cleared of any remaining evidence of the incident. Foundation agents have been dispatched to the Midwestern United States to search for leads concerning Hive Detailing & Restoration Midwest, LLC. Description: SCP-3757 is a species of insect bearing close similarities to Phausis reticulata (commonly known as a "blue ghost" firefly). SCP-3757 instances are completely identical to natural fireflies, with the exception of a slightly larger size (22mm on average) and two other major biological differences. The first is the presence of a spinneret, located on the front of the lower abdomen and above the luminescent organ. The spinneret is fully functional and can be used to form webbing in a similar fashion to most spiders. Researchers have concluded that the reason for the increased size is to store webbing within its body more effectively. The second noted biological difference between SCP-3757 and members of the Phausis reticulata species concerns SCP-3757’s webbing, which is consistent with different types of construction material, the most common being plastic and rubber, rather than silk. The majority of SCP-3757 instances have exhibited the ability to only synthesize one type of material, although a minority are able to create more than one. Additionally, SCP-3757 has been seen feeding on non-organic sources as opposed to plant pollen and nectar. Testing has shown that SCP-3757 does not consume the same webbing material in order to create it (e.g. consume rubber to make rubber web). As such, it is currently unknown how it is able to produce these materials. Discovery: The Foundation first gained knowledge of SCP-3757 during an incident within Perkins Park in Burlington, Iowa. The park houses a playground that, according to city officials, was very popular several years ago, but had lost a significant amount of traffic due to safety concerns among parents. Most frequent comments were as follows: Metal slides in varying heights with rusty railings Swing sets disconnected from suspension chains Graffiti on play structures Wooden benches in disrepair; splintered planks in minor cases, planks completely missing in severe cases. Weeds and overgrowth under majority of play structures. Incident Log: 08/20/17, approx. 10:00pm CST: An evening jogger had reported to local police authorities what they had believed to be an attempt to vandalize the playground area. Upon closer inspection, a swarm of SCP-3757 had coated the entire playground in webbing (later testing confirmed the material to be a rubber compound). Soon after, a Foundation agent implanted in the police force requested assistance from Site-319 to begin containment, following procedures listed at the top of the document. 08/21/17, approx. 7:00am CST: The communal webbing made by the SCP-3757 swarm had formed into a dome construct over the playground equipment and hardened, resembling a cocoon. Overall toughness of the cocoon was found to be similar to plexiglass, with thickness estimated at 9cm. Request sent to Site-319 Director for permission to use force to break through the surface. Request denied. 08/25/17, approx. 2:30pm CST: SCP-3757 instances are seen entering through a crevice at the apex of the cocoon. Several instances are successfully recovered at this time and are taken back to Site-319 for study. 08/25/17-09/09/17: Very subtle vibrations in the cocoon become apparent. Sounds can be heard from the inside of the cocoon, described to be similar to squeaking plastic and clinking metal. Researchers note a smell akin to burning rubber. An attempt to view the inside of the cocoon is made via camera, but it is disabled upon entry due to hard plastic coating the lens, presumably from an SCP-3757 instance. 09/10/17, approx. 11:15pm CST: SCP-3757 instances are seen exiting the cocoon and leaving the park area. Attempts to follow the flight paths of several SCP-3757 instances to their point of origin are met with failure: each instance traveled to different locations, the majority stopping to feed on lawn ornaments or garden hoses, and further investigation found no connection to SCP-3757 among any of them. 09/13/17, approx. 6:00am CST: Cocoon begins to crack, starting from the entry crevice at the top. This continues for 2.5 hours. At the end of the process, the playground is revealed to have been modified to some degree. Previous testimonies from surrounding neighborhoods are proven to be irrelevant, as all playground equipment appears to be brand new after a thorough investigation of the playground site. Large play structures have a logo imprinted on them, depicting a cartoonish wasp hive and "HIVE DETAILING & RESTORATION MIDWEST, LLC" underneath. No SCP-3757 instances are found during clean-up and fragments of the cocoon are taken for study. Addendum: No web results have appeared for HD&R Midwest, nor have any transaction records among construction suppliers yielded any useful information. One month after the discovery incident, a cover story had been prepared for Burlington City Council. They were cleared to launch a "Grand Reopening" of the Perkins Park playground after Foundation agents confirmed the playground had not exhibited any anomalous activity since emergence, with a shell company created by the Foundation taking credit for the new additions to the playground. In the eight months following the discovery incident, there have been four additional SCP-3757 related incidents sighted and secured by the Foundation in the Midwestern United States. Each incident shares a common trait of park playgrounds that have not been maintained or updated to meet modern safety standards. It is unclear if SCP-3757 will cease repairing public areas, in the event that all playground areas are made safe, or if they will "reassign" themselves to other recreational areas. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3757" by RockTeethMothEyes, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3758 | keter | Painting of SCP-3758-A by Roelant Savery Item #: SCP-3758 Special Containment Procedures: A supply of soft tissue samples of SCP-3758-A is to be kept at Site-59 in an organic preservation containment locker, and restocked as needed. Gestation from SCP-3758-A cells may only occur at designated hatcheries. The population of SCP-3758-A is to be maintained and monitored at all times in no less than three separate designated hatcheries. Currently, there are 30 instances of SCP-3758-A at Site-19, 17 instances at Site-70, and 4 instances at Site-10. Designated hatcheries are to be lined with 3m of lead and equipped with a permanent locking mechanism to contain an Aonair event. Under no circumstances are personnel to attempt communication with any instance of SCP-3758-A unless authorized. Should an Aonair event occur, the affected hatchery is to be hermetically sealed regardless of any Foundation personnel located within the area. If the hatchery is breached, Mobile task force Nu-7 "Hammer Down" is to be deployed to establish temporary containment measures of SCP-3758-B until two new instances of SCP-3758-A can be born. During an Aonair event, usage of esoteric methods to rush clone gestation, including the usage of SCP-████, has been approved by the O5 council. If an Aonair event occurs without any means to clone SCP-3758-A, Contingency Jamgeuda-9 is to be enacted immediately. Cover measures of the well-established extinction of SCP-3758-A are to be enacted, and all non-Foundation scientific endeavors to clone SCP-3758-A are to be sabotaged or otherwise hindered. Description: SCP-3758-A is a species of bird known to civilian populations as the dodo (Raphus cucullatus). Once endemic to the island of Mauritius, its population rapidly declined due to the interference of European traders and invasive species. SCP-3758-A has since been declared extinct in 1681, though three specimens were discovered during Incident-76728-Charlie. (see Recovery Log) The anomalous properties of SCP-3758-A surface upon the reduction of its living global population to one specimen. Upon the death of the second-to-last SCP-3758-A, the final instance will undergo a series of rapid, violent alterations to its physical structure (hereafter referred to as an Aonair event) to become SCP-3758-B. SCP-3758-B is a bipedal lifeform that bears a superficial resemblance to Gigantoraptor erlianensis, a beaked dinosaur from the late Cretaceous period. It is approximately five meters in height and 1,600 kilograms in weight. Due to the fact that SCP-3758-B emits 12,000 roentgens per hour of ionizing radiation from its skin, exact measurements have proven impractical. After an Aonair event, SCP-3758-B will seek out and approach other living creatures. Despite the lethality of its presence, it does not display greater hostility than any other large flightless bird. Recovery Log: On 2/15/1998, Foundation agents responded to possible anomalous activities by Sarkic cultists on the island of Mauritius. Investigations revealed a small independent organization known as Hualiet's Wake, who used anomalous means for the preservation of three living SCP-3758-A specimens, the approximate age of which remains unknown. Foundation agents attempted to forcibly acquire the specimens, which led to the accidental death of two specimens, and the first recorded Aonair event ( Incident-76728-Charlie ) resulting in approximately ███ military and civilian casualties before primary containment could be established. Date: 5/12/2004 Interviewer: Dr. Isaiah Henderson Interviewed: PoI-3758-27 <Begin Log> Dr. Henderson: Please state your name for the record. PoI-3758-27: Jack Sadhi, former leader of Hualiet's Wake. Dr. Henderson: Who exactly is this "Hualiet?" What is its connection, if any, to Sarkicism? PoI-3758-27: Some horrible demon from the Bronze Age. Name probably meant something, but the language is extinct now, and the ancient Mauritian people never wrote anything down on stone - always leaves or dirt. As for Sarkicism, we abandoned Grand Karcist Ion a long time ago - we just borrowed his magic to keep the dodos alive, to keep Hualiet from coming back. Dr. Henderson: And why did you abandon— PoI-3758-27: 'cos he's a prick. [ A large, dark, malignant growth of flesh instantaneously generates on the scalp of PoI-3758-27. ] PoI-3758-27: …and very easily offended. <End Log> + Additional Documentation - 4/3758 Clearance Required - encryption key accepted. Cartouche of King Uhr-Yin IV in SCP-3758-A script, as illustrated by SCP-3758-A-14 Upon further study, it has been revealed that SCP-3758-A tongues have the appropriate thickness to be capable of speech. While this can rarely be used to mimic human speech (similar to talking parrots), the primary language spoken by SCP-3758-A is Nal-ru-k', a language exclusive to SCP-3758-A. Indeed, the "Ancient Mauritian People" from the 5/12/2004 interview were the Nal-ru-khuun, an intelligent, caste-based civilization of SCP-3758-A that maintained complete isolation from the rest of the world. Aristocratic castes had access to reality-bending abilities, referred to as "ba-thre-s'-i", or "god-medicine," through an as-of-yet unknown means. Extant instances in Foundation captivity have no access to this ability; it is presumably extinct. All instances of SCP-3758-A are born with residual memories of their people's history. Therefore, through the cooperation of PoI-3758-27 and Dr. Lisle Naismith, translation of the Nal-ru-k' language has given the Foundation insight into SCP-3758-A culture.

SCP-3759 | euclid | An SCP-3759 instance. Item #: SCP-3759 Special Containment Procedures: GPS trackers are to be maintained on the landmass occupied by SCP-3759. Standard disinformation, ship and aircraft redirection, and satellite imagery doctoring protocols apply. Description: SCP-3759 denotes a group of several thousand intangible Abingdon Island giant tortoises (Chelonoidis abingdonii) residing on a variable landmass currently 380 km west of the Ecuador coast. SCP-3759 instances transmute any surface they step on into volcanic rock, up to a maximum radius of 5.8 m. Geological analysis of this rock indicates composition consistent with that of the Galapagos Islands. Rock produced by SCP-3759 instances is the only known material they cannot phase through. The amount of surface the SCP-3759 population can transmute at once has an upper limit of approximately 1.4 km2; at this point any further transmutation causes an equal amount of previously transmuted rock to convert into seawater. Freshwater pools and vegetation native to the Galapagos spontaneously appear near the center of the landmass at consistent intervals. Addendum: On the morning of 6/24/2012, "Lonesome George", the last non-anomalous Abingdon Island tortoise, died. The population of SCP-3759 organized into a circular arrangement, and in the center of the circle, a new instance of SCP-3759 manifested. This is the only time the creation of a new instance has been recorded. |

Fig 1.3. Subject's ocular cavity in early stages of conversion into jaw (prior to eye's consumption). Item #: SCP-3760 Special Containment Procedures: Subliminal Memetic Agent Kappa/Omicron ("SMA-K/O") is to remain in global circulation, propagated via a fabricated "scientific fact" that acts as a carrier. The Department of Misinformation is to suppress any notion that SMA-K/O's carrier may be untrue. If an individual ceases to believe that the carrier information is factual, they will lose the effects of SMA-K/O and become susceptible to SCP-3760's anomalous properties. To prevent a potential End-of-World K/O Failure Scenario, all records regarding the nature of SMA-K/O's carrier have been restricted to Level 5 access. Description: SCP-3760 is an anomalous mutagenic phenomenon which affects the regrowth of human tissue in response to injury. Humans within proximity of a subject afflicted with SCP-3760 run an ongoing risk of infection; however, SCP-3760 does not appear to be microbial in nature. Due to the circumstances of its containment, the vector for transmission of SCP-3760 has yet to be conclusively determined.1 Injured2 tissue in affected subjects will anomalously develop various forms of nonhuman biological features associated with members of the clade Selachimorpha. Such features most commonly include (but are not limited to): Dermal denticles3 Benign cartilaginous growths Eyes (with nictitating membranes)4 Nasal ducts Teeth and/or jaws Sensory organs grown by affected subjects appear to be functional and respond appropriately to stimuli, but these sensations are not directly experienced by the subject themselves. Other organs demonstrate similar independent functionality, including mandibles capable of mastication. Involuntary self-injury from bites are frequent. Any matter consumed by an SCP-3760-grown oral cavity will vanish despite a lack of observable connection to a digestive tract. These aforementioned orifices will repeatedly seek edible material for consumption;5 this behavior intensifies in the presence of blood, and may even include acts of autocannibalism. A failure to consume edible material at regular intervals will result in necrosis of the affected tissue. In turn, this necessitates the removal of the necrotic tissue, which consequently leads to the emergence of additional SCP-3760 mutations and orifices. Precise epidemiological statistics regarding the spread of SCP-3760 are currently impossible to ascertain. Estimates by Foundation researchers have placed the saturation rate of SCP-3760 to be between 71% and 92% of the global populace. SMA-K/O has proven capable of suppressing symptoms in most affected subjects, with only 2,785 recorded cases of SCP-3760 activity observed between 1958 and 2016. Addendum: The following is a series of journal entries made by Dr. Keith Woodward, Ship's Medical Officer aboard the USS Kirby. His patients are believed to have been the first victims of SCP-3760. August 5th 1922 Goodness knows I'm the worst at keeping records, but this feels important. Every instinct inside me says that something is very wrong. I have to write this all down while it's still fresh. Nobody knows how Willis Riggs ended up in the water, least of all Riggs himself. Several men saw him heading below deck at 1521. At 1522, we had reports of a man overboard. It was Riggs. Nobody saw it happen. When they pulled him aboard, he said he couldn't remember anything that had happened since breakfast. He was also missing a good chunk of his left foot. They asked me to examine him, of course. Sewed up his foot, put a cast on it, and then tried to figure out why he couldn't remember anything. Concussion was my first guess. But besides the lost time, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with him. I told him to get some bedrest, and when he was gone I called the higher-ups. Only explanation I could come up with was that he had simply stumbled overboard. It was possible he had gotten ahold of a drink, though he didn't look intoxicated. It was a strange case. Folks talked about it for a couple of days, but I didn't think too much of it. I had seen worse. Things happen. However, things kept happening. All sorts of accidents here and there. I didn't find out about most of it till later on. These aren't the type of men to go crying to the doctor for any little thing. Worst case I had after the Riggs incident was some foolhardy kid with a black eye. About a week after he had gotten his foot manged, Riggs came stammering back into my office. He said he hadn't been able to get any sleep the past few nights because of a noise. I told him that he ought to be used to putting up with noise at nights on a ship like this. He said it wasn't the loudness that kept him up, but where it was coming from. Then he propped his foot on my desk and asked me to listen to his cast. I gave him some pills and kicked him out. Figured his concussion was finally showing itself. And then, just last night, they dragged Riggs into my office again. He was screaming so loud you'd think he was on fire. They had to hold him down while I cut off the cast. I expected gangrene. Over two decades, I've seen some serious cases — smelled them, too. But the miasma from inside that cast was the worst damn thing I've ever smelled in my life. It was like someone shit in a dead fish and left it in the hot summer sun for a week. The flesh around his foot was all kinds of black and green and maroon. There were these sharp, tooth-like protrusions sticking out of the skin where I'd sewn him up. They'd chewed through the sutures in several places, leaving open gaps that exposed more rows of smaller, sharper teeth inside. I told Riggs and the others that his foot had gotten infected. Had to scrap the whole thing up to the knee. Ever since the op, I can't sleep. It's been affecting my work, my judgment, even my eyesight. I've had this dark spot at the edge of my vision that keeps coming and going. Probably just need to stop writing and go to sleep. August 8th 1922 They brought the kid with the black eye in again today. His right eyelid was swollen shut; blood trickled from it like a leaky faucet. I had to use pincers to peel the lid back. Wasn't just the swelling that kept it shut. It was those little teeth again. They'd grown into the back of the lid and bit in. He started making jokes about his eyepatch the moment I sent him on his way. Speaking of eyes, my sight has gotten worse. The dark spot's moved to the center of my vision and won't go away. Even when my eyes are closed, the colors don't dance in that one tiny spot. Is it possible the smell of Riggs' foot somehow burned my corneas? One of the men who'd helped bring him in—Ronnie Gaines, I think—said he'd been having headaches ever since that night. Wouldn't be surprised if whatever the hell Riggs has is toxic. August 9th 1922 I had three more men in today. No teeth this time, though. One of them had this rash going up his back that he said itched like crazy. It looked like acne at first, and he did have some acne back there, but there were all these bumps, all in neat little rows, all tender to the touch. I gave him some ointment. One of them had a growth on his big toe. Big chunk of something sticking out of the space on the left side where the nail ended. Looked almost like coral, except it was translucent and slightly rubbery. I cut it off. One of them had an earache. I looked inside and saw something look back at me. I told him it was his imagination. The dark spot on my vision keeps getting bigger. It's not even a spot anymore. Its shape keeps changing. Wish we had an optometrist. August 11th 1922 I told the higher-ups. They thought I was crazy. I wouldn't shut up about it, though, so they locked me up. Rigg's leg tore a man's throat out today. So they let me go. August 18th 1922 I have a little plate in front of me with bits of meat on it. Every few minutes I hold a piece up to my left ring finger. The nail slides up and it bares its teeth. I push the meat in and get back to taking care of the men. This is how things are now. The higher-ups told me to reassure the crew that we're going home. They don't want any more men jumping into the ocean. Risks spreading the disease, they said. I followed orders. But I also mentioned that if they felt like jumping, come see me first. August 22nd 1922 Ronnie Gaines died this morning. There's a hole full of teeth where his face should be. He'd been complaining of migraines for weeks. I figured something was growing in that head of his. I just didn't think it could bite from the inside. The curious part is that the teeth are still gnashing. Guess it makes sense. Riggs didn't die when his foot died. Why should the foot die if Riggs died? August 23rd 1922 Riggs died August 29th 1922 What else is there to say? I don't understand it. I can't heal it. I've already described it. No point in writing now. I have mouths to feed September 5th 1922 I can see it more clearly now. Still can't quite make out its features, even though it's all I can see. It looks like a person. It wasn't getting bigger. It's swimming towards me Footnotes 1. One widely-held hypothesis proposed in 1922 suggests that SCP-3760 may be spread through eye contact. 2. Diseased tissue has been observed to be affected in some cases. 3. Scales which are structurally comparable to pointed teeth. 4. A translucent eyelid that moistens the eye while retaining vision. 5.

SCP-3761 | keter | NOTICE FROM THE RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION This file describes an anomaly set on a future date. Information was gained from anomalous phenomena. The decision to document a future anomaly was approved unanimously by HMCL Administration. Personnel are authorized to be cautious when activating Operation Kasum, as the true properties of SCP-3761 are uncertain. Secure. Contain. Protect. - Jane Erwin, RAISA Site-119, the main area for the creation of Sciuridae specimens. Item #: SCP-3761 Special Containment Procedures: As of 09/5/1986, Operation Kasum has been enacted by order of O5-8 and will be ongoing until 07/30/2063. Operation Kasum consists of the following procedures: 24 hours before SCP-3761 occurs, Butler County, Kansas, USA shall be deemed a no-fly zone, and all civilian access is to be denied. Civilians already present within the county are to be transported to Sedgewick County under the cover story of a natural disaster. Over the course of 50 years, 125,000,000 lab-grown Sciuridae specimens that are less intelligent than SCP-3761-A are to be created. These specimens are being created at over 200 Sites/Areas1, each using anomalous biotechnology to produce the specimens. Upon the appearance of SCP-3761, all of the specimens are to be released into the public for the purpose of spreading across the Earth according to plans present within Document 179-M, which should replace most of the squirrels that would participate and be killed in SCP-3761. Each specimen is to be placed within a Sciuridae Containment and Protection Facility (SCaPF). Each SCaPF is capable of holding 2 million squirrels indefinitely, and 30 million temporarily. Every squirrel has had Formula Class-877 Mass-Reproduction Aerosol Recipe applied to them, which causes constant fertilization of females, and would allow each specimen to gestate 6-10 offspring at once. Large amounts of squirrels are to be relocated to another SCaPF unit if the current one is full. The existence of SCP-3761-A's true intelligence is to be slowly introduced into the public under the guise of scientific discoveries over the course of 50 years. The stereotype that squirrels are unintelligent is to be replaced with the stereotype that squirrels are as intelligent as humans in modern culture. This will be done by inserting squirrel characters into popular television programs/movies/books that are seen as extremely smart. More information can be found within Document 818-Y. Mobile Task Force Tau-63 ("Vermin Supreme") is to collect any carvings within trees created by squirrels and prevent any from reaching the public, and are to transport them to Site-119 for research. Amnestics are to be administered to any civilians found to have knowledge regarding SCP-3761 and/or carvings created by SCP-3761-A. Extensive containment procedures are not currently necessary for SCP-3761-1, as they are currently allies with the Foundation and have agreed to not expose themselves to the public. However, SCP-3761-1 are to be monitored at all times, and are to be deterred from Kansas by any means necessary during SCP-3761. All squirrel based anomalies currently under Foundation control are to be heavily monitored and are to undergo revised containment procedures during SCP-3761. Personnel assigned to squirrel based anomalies are to view Document 226-U for more information. Site-119 has been created in Butler County, Kansas as an area for Foundation personnel to observe SCP-3761 when it occurs and for the creation of squirrel specimens. A site dossier has been sent to personnel with 2/3761 clearance by request of the Site Director of Site-119. After Incident-2A7, Site-119 and Site-551 Administration have unanimously voted for the secondary use of Site-551 as a research facility for anomalous entities/phenomena that are suspected to be connected to SCP-3761. Personnel with 3/3761 clearance are required to view the Site-551 Dossier for more information. Description: SCP-3761 is the designation for an anomalous event that will occur on 07/23/2063, which is currently theorized to be the date of an event affecting all species of Sciuridae (squirrels). SCP-3761's existence has been identified by prediction based anomalies as well as multiple texts of varying origins that show similar outcomes on the aforementioned date. It is currently theorized that during SCP-3761, every squirrel on Earth will dig a hole approximately .5 meters underneath their current location, in which a space-time anomaly will manifest, transporting each squirrel to .5 meters directly underneath Butler County, Kansas, USA. The squirrels will dig out of their holes, and will attack one another in an unknown manner (see SCP-3761 Documentation 3761-2). SCP-3761 will end on 07/24/2063, whereby all surviving squirrels will utilize the stated space-time anomaly to return to their original locations, and will refill the holes with dirt once they have successfully transported back. SCP-3761-A is the collective designation for all squirrels on Earth. It has been observed that SCP-3761-A ranks approximately an 8.9-9.1 on the FAITH scale.2 SCP-3761-A as a whole are capable of learning human languages and can communicate by carving into the bark of trees. However, squirrels have never attempted to communicate with humans, and all attempts at an interview with a squirrel have been met with failure. In extremely rare cases, it has been observed that SCP-3761-A instances are capable of verbal communication (see SCP-3761 Documentation 3761-3). SCP-3761-1 designates a religious group, colloquially known as the "Church of Patteeism", that practices the belief of squirrel and human equality. Members of the group include individuals of varying ethnic background and age groups. Most of SCP-3761-1's members live within an area in █████, India that it has dubbed "The Secluded Oak." Further information regarding this location is unavailable to the Foundation.3 The current leader of SCP-3761-1 is Grand Prophet Timothy Lockridge. A reproduction of Hand of the Trees in Greek. SCP-3761-1 has been observed performing rituals to appease their deity, which is referred to as "पेड़ प्राणी", or "Tree Critter". The nature of said rituals vary greatly, and have been observed to have included praying, preparation of food, the burning of wood sculptures in the shape of a falcon, and simple chanting. A mantra is used during these rituals, and is regarded as a vital part of it. The following is an English version of the mantra confiscated from an SCP-3761-1 outpost: We were once with the Trees, Rolling plains as far as the eye can see. Out of the tree we went, walking with the Grass Sea, Out of the caring leaves that made us Free, Our ancestors saw what their brethren would be, And would watch over us in the Canopy, Tree Critter ditto shows pity, He raises His hand and shows our only Quality, His light guiding us to Equality, Where we once more can be with the Trees. According to confiscated text "Hand of the Trees"4, Tree Critter has the body structure of a human, and the head of a squirrel. Tree Critter is said to wear only a red and white striped robe with a hood that covers their eyes, and is noted to always carry a large unidentified scroll.5 According to Hand of the Trees, Tree Critter is capable of taking the form of anything it desires, but it chooses the previously aforementioned form when communicating with SCP-3761-1. SCP-3761-1 has stated on multiple occasions that it will attempt to assist in SCP-3761, however it is currently unknown how they will accomplish this. Addendum-A: Abridged list of anomalies used to verify SCP-3761's existence: Anomaly Method of Prediction SCP-1032 SCP-1032 displays a hand that reads "The War of the Squirrels" which will reach its midnight event on 07/24/2063, suggesting that SCP-3761 will only last 24 hours. SCP-187 SCP-187 states that she feels extremely uncomfortable and upset whenever she is within Butler County, Kansas. She states that the entire area is filled with holes that have squirrel carcasses within them. SCP-411 SCP-411 has, on multiple occasions, said that it "remembers" the "The Battle of the Tree Rats" occurring on 07/23/2063 in "The Breadbasket of America." SCP-411 has stated that it does not wish to grant any more information than this. SCP-2327 After SCP-2327 specimens leave instances of SCP-2327-1, a message is almost always found within the subjects' stomach lining, most likely written with their claws before attempting to escape. An autopsy of an SCP-2327-1 instance reveals that it reads "Remmember warr [sic]". SCP-2050 SCP-2050 regards SCP-3761 as a extremely important event to them, and states that it would rival the "Crusades of the Woodchucks". It is unknown what this refers to. Additionally, SCP-2050 believes that Kansas is actually the Middle East country of Palestine. SCP-2003 Determinate Set XL continues normally in a manner similar to XN until 07/23/2063 where all species of Sciuridae go completely extinct from an unknown virus that spreads only through squirrel species. The virus is regarded as "The TAKE CARE Virus" by local scientific groups for unknown reasons. SCP-2707 [DATA EXPUNGED]. If SCP-2707 is to live beyond its suspected natural life-span, SCP-2707 is to be decommissioned on 07/22/2063. Failure to do so will result in a CK-Class Dominance Shift scenario. Addendum-B: LEVEL 3 CLEARANCE REQUIRED TO ACCESS THE FOLLOWING FILES SCP-3761 DOCUMENTATION-1 SECURITY MEMETIC: Ish'nu-alah, Tree Critter, nuberal'He HAND OF THE TREES The following are excerpts from Hand of the Trees, SCP-3761-1's religious text6. The text is written entirely in Hindi, and has been translated to English. A sapling grew from the Rocky Grounds below, birthing bountiful fruit. From the fruits came a great Being, Tree Critter. Tree Critter tasted the fruit, and thought it plentiful. From the fruit, Tree Critter created other great Beings, the Wild Gods. Attuned to the nature around them, Wild Gods were in harmony with their surroundings. Wub're, The Frog God, ruled the shallow lakes and ponds. Psaw, The Flower Mistress, ruled over the Flowers and the Bees. Coy'te, The Joker, ruled over the Wolves and the Predators. Kaamu, the Healer, ruled over the great Stallions of The Breadlands. And of course, Tree Critter ruled over the Squirrels that populated the land. - Paragraph 2. Mess'r, The Tinker, was the last to Rise with Tree Critter. Mess'r asked Tree Critter with a Voice: "Oh great Critter, what may I rule over?" Tree Critter responded, "You will rule over the Rulers, you will watch over the Watchers, you are the God of Gods." Mess'r walked the Rocky Grounds with two legs, using their front hands to carry the World. On his left shoulder the Values, and on his right shoulder the Tree for which new fruit shall be grown. And with Mess'r's intellect birthed all of Creation and Complexity, both flesh and metal and the inbetween. And it was glorious. -Paragraph 5. Mess'r did bear children, and those children did bear children, and with that created Humanity and all of its followers. Mess'r's legacy lived on in their offspring. With the new found Humanity, they built a world where Mess'r's legacy would rule over the Wild Gods and their offspring. Mess'r said to Tree Critter: "Oh great Critter, I have ruled over the Rulers, I have watched over the Watchers, I have become the God of Gods, what else is there for me in this world?" Tree Critter responded: "Your job here is done, Tinker. May you rest in peace, and let Humanity shape this world for the better." Mess'r smiled, as they slowly sank into the Rocky Grounds. From their grave, came a new tree, bearing new fruit. -Paragraph 13 A man of noble heart walked the Rocky Grounds, in search for food for his family. That man was The Caretaker, one that studied the ways of Tree Critter, Humanity, and Squirrelkind. The Caretaker walked into the Great Tree, and into the bakery. The Baker said: "Caretaker, Son of Tree Critter, I am blessed that you have arrived in our great city." The Caretaker responded: "I am only here for a simple request. My family is starving, and I require bread to sustain them." The Caretaker took the offered bread. -Paragraph 179 The Caretaker heard a crunch underneath his foot, for he looked down and saw a dead squirrel underneath. The Great Tree witnessed the forfeit of the life of one of their own. Many gasped, many screamed, all of them scared. The blood seeped into the ground, and birthed a new tree, with withered bark and grey fruit, siphoning all hope and sanctuary from the land, known to many as the "Heart of Corruption." A holy flash appeared to The Caretaker, and a familiar voice introduced themselves. "Oh, Great Caretaker, you have violated the laws of the Forest. A life was snuffed out by your careless eye, and allowed entry into Narak from the Heart of Corruption. Leave, or face my relentless punishment." The Caretaker pleaded, stating that this wasn't of malicious drive, of how he values the life of squirrels and the world's sanctity very much. -Paragraph 180 "I am deeply sorry, Tree Critter, but I cannot leave, my family will starve if I do not get food for them! I shall cut down the Heart of Corruption and cleanse myself of malice." Tree Critter shed a tear, and trapped The Caretaker in a prison of light. "I am deeply sorry as well, Caretaker." Tree Critter summoned Kara, The Eternal Spear, and prepared to banish The Caretaker to the depths of Narak. Tree Critter lowered his hand, snuffed the Heart of Corruption, and began to rise into the air. "I have more important matters to attend to. If you truly care for the Forest, you will leave it." The Caretaker left the Great Tree, never to return. -Paragraph 181 Many of Squirrelkind despised The Caretaker. "His carelessness has cost us the life of one held dear, and stained The Great Tree. If Tree Critter shall not punish them, we will." Others forgave The Caretaker for his actions. "It was a pure accident, The Caretaker is a Man noble at heart, friend of Nature and Squirrelkind, the Heart of Corruption was not his corruption." The Squirrels that despised The Caretaker planned a punishment of the highest order: the defilement of their homeland, just like he did to theirs. Whether alive or dead, The Caretaker's legacy will be tarnished for all eternity. Time will be needed to prepare, many hundreds of years will be spent preparing to tarnish The Breadlands. -Paragraph 183 The Squirrels who forgave The Caretaker heard of this plan, and would intercept their attack on The Breadlands on the day of the attack. Soon, the Squirrels who despised The Caretaker learned of this, and it would be agreed that a great Battle would be held on the grounds of The Caretaker's homeland. And by decision of Squirrelkind, it would be called "Nubelere de Hoyo", or in Humanity's tongue "The War of The Squirrels," and it would be glorious. -Paragraph 184 SCP-3761 DOCUMENTATION-2 SECURITY MEMETIC: Ala'Bore Ratatoskr, Natala Tree Critter RECOVERED CARVINGS FROM SCP-3761-A On ██/██/████, MTF Tau-63 encountered engravings inside of 2 separate dead trees in ████████, Kenya which were written in Swahili, and are theorized to be related to SCP-3761-A. They have been transcribed here after translation to English. Dear Grand Leader Lor-Thormar It happened again. More friendly squirrels get taken by evil squirrels for testing. Bad testing. I don't know much, but tests kill squirrels from what heard. More humans from the Squirrel Superiority group also came along and told us of situation. They worried. They also tell me thing I do not know: There are two groups of squirrel humans: Proto and Neo. Protos love Caretaker, and Neos hate Caretaker. Told us they were Proto, and I let them in. They told us that they loved Caretaker just as much as us. Probably more in fact. They however told me very confusing sentence: Caretaker is already dead. No he not? Caretaker is alive, alive as ever. Which is good thing. Also told us of "Kansas". I corrected them and said "Breadlands", since that's actual name. Kansas sounds like silly name. What was I saying? Oh yes. They are taking more and more of our kind every day. It making other squirrels morale low. Very low, can confirm. This is proposal for development of weaponry like ones humans make. Weaponry that doesn't kill, but stops. Would help in War greatly. Neo squirrels use cruel weapons. Nothing but shadows and misery are left when they attack. Cruel bombs, cruel blades, cruel seeds. While many want to kill them, they are still our brothers, and we should never harm brothers, no matter how twisted. Thus why make stopping weaponry, not kill. Got off topic again. Point is we need to break in their Tree and get back our stolen squirrel brothers. Love live the Caretaker. Ankala-Koresh Daleem -General Rommoth-Balash War in ██ years. We are not ready. Must prepare. Learned lot from humans. Human weapons strong. Imitation done. Following are prototypes for weapons made for Squirrel-Kind. Death to the Caretaker. Nut-Pelter: Small metal thing with long tube on one end. Tube shoots out nuts, includes acorns, walnuts, pistachios, and cashews. Capable of entering squirrel skin and killing. Each soldier gets one. Life-Grower: Not weapon; trained technique by Squad Number Apple. Squirrels shoot special magic seeds out of mouth, pierces skin. Tiny trees grow inside of bodies. Roots enter ground and entangle nearby squirrels. Very useful. Bite-and-Choke-Gas: Small objects shaped like tasty acorns. Filled with deadly gas. Cracking nut causes gas to cover area. Gas causes breathing tubes esophagus breathing area to grow lumpy. Lumps actually other Gas filled acorns. Area becomes deep red and yellow mist after 10 minutes. Human-Smarties: Tablet candies eaten by humans for fun. Eating candies causes squirrel to gain human smarts. Humans smarts causes squirrels to have human emotion, which causes less will to fight. Easily capable of hiding in food. Ear-Ringers: Round shaped black ball. Not squirrel made; human made. When button is pushed, loud beeps heard. Big boom at black ball. Capable of killing many squirrels per black ball. Ringing in ears afterwards. Sky-Eyes: Also not weapon; Squad Number Grass composed of Flying Squirrels. Not really Flying; more like gliding. Can throw nuts and other weapons at squirrels from sky. Super useful. Plant Redwood Tree for major Flying. Tree-Critter-Bomb: If failing, detonate. Leave nothing but scorched earth and a tower of ash for the Caretaker. Update: More prototypes for weapons developing. Machines almost ready. Nut-Pelters successfully kill enemy squirrel. Very good test. Other hostages not freed. Need more. Until next time. Ankala-Koresh Enkilish SCP-3761 DOCUMENTATION-3 SECURITY MEMETIC: Bal'adash, Malanore Tree Critter INCIDENT-2A7 On 07/23/2013, an anomalous entity manifested within ██████████, India, which was ██ kilometers from Site-551. The entity had the facial structure of a squirrel, along with red-white striped robes. A small group of approximately 2,000 squirrels used a space-time anomaly to travel to the entity's location7. Foundation forces present at Site-551 were deployed to administer amnestics to witnesses of the event. The entity began to speak to the squirrels in English once the entire population was near its vicinity. Entity: Children, I am disappointed. When I was a boy and I heard about what war was, I would ask my grandma about it, and do you know what they said? They said that it achieves nothing but useless despair. Entity: Yes, I was impatient in my decision to punish the Caretaker. Yes, I was a child at that point, and had only just been granted power eternal, but he has since passed away, and my children are still planning this insidious war. He has long since been forgiven for his mistake. He was a kind, happy soul who did not mean harm. Entity: This is the last time I will come down to Earth and talk with you. I do not wish for you to carry out this war within the Breadlands, I do not wish for you to exit this world like this. You are still family. You are still brothers and sisters. (The entity raises their arm to their chest.) Entity: Listen, do you want to know something? I spoke to the Caretaker. On his death bed, before he met his demise, I appeared to him. We spoke about the event, and I will say: He is sorry. And I have officially accepted his apology. I hope you can understand. (A squirrel begins to speak to the entity.) Squirrel 1: You kidding me? You spoke to him? Trusted you, bitch! (Another squirrel runs over to them, and puts their hands on their shoulders.) Squirrel 2: Be calm, friend. Maybe talk? Squirrel 1: Off me, proto fuck. (All the squirrels begin to assault each other through physical mutilation. While this is happening, the entity sighs, and begins to slowly rise off the ground.) Entity: The warning has been given. Your fate is now your own. Ankala-Koresh. (The entity begins to rise from the ground to the air, watching the squirrel population attack each other. When one half of the squirrels have been killed, they begin to dig holes and use the stated space-time anomaly to transport to their original locations, all while looking at the entity.) (After the squirrels are gone, the entity covers their face with their hands, and then begins to rub their temples as they demanifest.) Entity: Why did he have to make me the God of fucking squirrels? (The entity demanifests.) Footnotes 1. The largest sites of activity being Area-12 and Site-119. The head of the creation of specimens is currently Junior Researcher Kim Genicode for Area-12, and Site Director Kolt Moor for Site-119. 2. The FAITH scale (Foundation Animal Intelligence Testing Heuristics) ranges from 0 to 10 and the tests are calibrated for each species. For comparison, on this scale mice score a 0.5-0.9, corvids score a 4.1-4.5, dolphins score a 5.9-6.3, and great apes score a 8.2-8.8. An average human is assigned a score of 10. 3. However, it is theorized that The Secluded Oak is the birthplace for SCP-3761-1's deity based on scriptures confiscated from SCP-3761-1. 4. SCP-3761-1 identifies this as their holy scripture. 5. SCP-3761-1 regards this scroll as the first copy of Hand of the Trees. 6. Analysis conducted by Department of Tactical Theology. 7.

SCP-3762 | euclid | A photograph of SCP-3762 after a battle (see Recovered Document D). Item #: SCP-3762 Special Containment Procedures: MTF Tau-24 ("Full House") are tasked with observing SCP-3762 during its current period of growth. Mineral samples from the exterior shell and blood draws from the interior tissue are to be performed weekly. Any changes to the chemical composition of SCP-3762 is to be reported immediately to Research Cohort Alpha-22 in Site 19. Due to the small size of its current location, SCP-3762 is in danger of discovery by the native population. In case of discovery, MTF Tau-24 is to be dispatched with amnestics. Natives have been informed that several unexploded landmines have been discovered in the area, and that all forms of digging are prohibited. In the event of the death of the current Agent Tau-24-01, agents are instructed to contact the nearest male blood relative according to Spreadsheet 3762-23-Epsilon. Instances of SCP-3762-1 are to remain within SCP-3762 at all times. New instances of SCP-3762-1 are to be photographed and transcribed immediately. Description: SCP-3762 is a bio-lithic organism of indeterminate age. SCP-3762 takes the form of a structure composed primarily of stone; however, interior components of wood, metal, and other materials have been discovered. Excavation of the outer material will reveal an inner layer consisting of vascularized tissue. Low-frequency sonography has revealed several interior organs, including a heart analogue and several [REDACTED]. All DNA extracted from SCP-3762 has been shown to be human (p < .00001). Biomarker analysis suggests that SCP-3762 shares a common ancestor with Agent █████ Tanner and other individuals listed on Spreadsheet 3762-23-Epsilon (p < .05). SCP-3762-1 refers to a type of paper produced by SCP-3762. This paper incorporates large portions of calcium carbonate in addition to cellulose and other organic materials, greatly increasing its longevity. SCP-3762 is associated with a specific Welsh family line with the surname Tanner. On numerous instances (See Table 3762-01), a member of the Tanner family has discovered SCP-3762 and used it for shelter. These appearances generally occur in times of great distress, and no more than once in a single generation. Several such appearances are documented by handwritten notes and letters written on instances of SCP-3762-1 (see Recovered Documents A-E for a sample of such material). Testing has confirmed that SCP-3762 travels physically between locations rather than teleporting or implementing any other form of discontinuous travel. SCP-3762 is capable of moving at a rate of ██ meters per day using contraction waves similar to those observed in gastropod locomotion. SCP-3762 possesses a mild cognitohazardous effect, causing observers to neglect its motion or its sudden appearances. The Foundation did not become aware of SCP-3762 until an agent from the Tanner family encountered it during the recapture of SCP-███ (see Document E below) and placed a tracking device within it. SCP-3762 utilizes a form of precognition, allowing it to develop the appropriate form for the survival of the Tanner family. It has created towers, farmhouses, mineshafts, chapel, bunkers, and [DATA EXPUNGED]. Testing has determined that it takes between █ and ██ years for SCP-3762 to assume a new form. SCP-3762, though slow, has immense strength, capable of pushing through steel plates of ██ cm in thickness. Testing has determined that it can be restrained by keeping it elevated from the ground (for instance, by attaching large masses of metal to it and applying a magnetic field; see Document 3762-A-2). However, all agents are currently ordered to allow SCP-3762 to travel freely to its next location, pursuant to Foundation interests as outlined in Document 3762-13. Documents Recovered: Document A: 01/23/1352 At Alisaundre I was, whan it was wonne by a dark Knight, men clepeth Deeth He hath a thousand slayn this pestilence: Yet have I escapen from this prisoun of deeth. This hous, blessed from every wikked wight was shown me. I crossed the threshfold, and the dore was faste shette. I drank water of the wel, and did soupe of foode clene From grene treës. My gode fader, his name was writen In this book, and alle his lyne, ech after other. Herkneth to my tale, and blessed be this hous ay! Rough translation: I was at Alexandria when it was won by a dark Knight, whom men call Death He has slain a thousand with this disease: Yet I have escaped from this prison of death. This house, blessed to be safe from every wicked man, was shown me. I crossed the threshold, and the door was fast shut. I drank water of the well, and ate clean food From green trees. My good father's name was written In this book, and all his descendants, each after another. Listen to my tale, and blessed be this house forever! Document B: 01/20/1607 My name is Duncan Tanner. The ryver of Severn rose upon a sudden and the hyghest tyde, with barefaced power, swept away my home and friends. And I had died, except this aery tower, in which I sodden stand, had not appeared. This tome bears witness that many of my line have entered this hall under various forms. What charm or magic, angel or devil hath done this I know not, but I thank you. Document C: 09/14/1862 Battle oh horrid battle. What a bloody place was that sunken road as we advanced and the Irish Brigade fell back; what sights I have seen now around me. Not a mound or a tree gave us protection as we fled. Private James Spencer in the front rank went down with an awful cry, fell forward on his face and was motionless. I found this home, entered, and barred the entrance. From a window I shot at the enemy captain. I found this tattered book with strange letters from men whose names I am well familiar with. This incredible secret I would attribute to the angels, but this house I fear is subject to some horrible curse. I discovered where a stray bullet had entered the wall and red blood dripped from the hole. God have mercy on us all. -Charles Tanner Document D: 11/23/1914 I grieve as I write this. How I came to be here, I cannot say. Perhaps I died, with my men, and this is hell, or some sort of awful heaven. I sit on a broken box in this battered shell of a house, with fresh gaps in the few remaining walls made by the enemy bullets. I cannot think of those, now, who took their places in the firing line for the last time today. What became of my squadron? I think I know; those bodies that lie in the trampled garden-close of this deserted house are not the enemy's, nor the blood which coats these walls. I pause in my writing to look at this house again. These pages that I have scribbled on are some sort of written record, which leave the most lively impressions. Surely a night of fever, a night of depression has lead me to imagine these things. Or perhaps some ancient genius loci truly has blessed our family over these years. But the captain approaches, and these pages I will store where I found them.-Henry Tanner Document E: ██/██/19█ Dr. █████: Please state your name. Agent Tanner: My name is █████ Tanner. Dr. █████: Tell us again what happened in Mexico. Agent Tanner: It was the second day, after SCP-███ breached containment. Agents were dying left and right. I was part of MTF Tau-17. I stumbled on an abandoned mineshaft. We cut the cables and lowered the elevator as fast as we could. SCP-███ came right over the top of the shaft after we entered. It buried the entrance, and we fell the last 20 meters. After it was over- Dr. █████: You didn't suffer any injuries from the fall? Agent Tanner: No, there was a large pile of organic material, decayed leaves, I think it was, that stopped our fall. We lit our flashlights, and discovered that we were in an underground concrete room with a small spring in the corner. It was enough to hold us up until after SCP-███ was [REDACTED]. We were recovered three days later. Dr. █████: What can you tell us about this? [Here, the doctor produced a large sheaf of papers] Agent Tanner: Yes, this appears to be a written history by members of my family, dating back to ███ CE. That's what led me to suspect the anomalous nature of the structure we were in. [EXTRANEOUS DIALOG REMOVED] Document 3762-13: Level 4 Clearance Only – hide block With the assistance of Agent Tanner, the SCP-3762 was located on 01/14/19██ and monitored as it traveled over a period of ███ months to the island of ███████ ██ █████. Since then, it has been steadily increasing in mass and volume, primarily underground. Samples taken from the outer skin show that it has been incorporating larger and larger volumes of post-transition metals such as lead and gold. Several sub-areas of the underground portion of the subject are filled with a novel species of moss that is similar to Cladosporium sphaerospermum, but with increased radiotrophic properties. Testing has revealed this moss to be edible. The largest sub-area is a large, gold-lined cavern containing 21000 liters of water and an apparatus capable of water recycling. These preparations are compatible with an XK-Class End of the World Scenario involving a gamma ray burst of ██ solar mass-equivalents of energy. We are currently attempting to identify possible sources of such a burst. Given current growth patterns, subject is expected to reach full size in ██ years. |
SCP-3763 | euclid | SCP-3763 during initial recovery Item #: SCP-3763 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3763 is to be stored in the Anomalous Vehicle Containment Center at Site-48. All maintenance of SCP-3763 must be completed with the knowledge and consent of SCP-3763-1. SCP-3763-1 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-48. As SCP-3763-1 believes it is in the custody of Marshall, Carter and Dark LLP, all personnel working with SCP-3763-1 are to maintain this deception by any means necessary. SCP-3763-1 is allowed access to approved entertainment material in exchange for its cooperation during testing of SCP-3763. Description: SCP-3763 is a 1964 Chevrolet Biscayne sedan. The vehicle is installed with a "Thalbrum Vehicle Security System", believed to be the source of its anomalous effects. Otherwise, SCP-3763 will operate in a non-anomalous manner. SCP-3763-1 is a young European-American adult male by the name of Daniel Thalbrum. SCP-3763-1 is legally recognized as the owner of SCP-3763, and therefore possesses complete control of its properties. SCP-3763-1 has stated that the "vehicle security system" SCP-3763 is installed with is the invention of Howard Thalbrum, SCP-3763-1's deceased father. SCP-3763 presents a memetic effect on any individuals attempting to interact with the vehicle without the permission of SCP-3763-1. Said individuals will experience an anomalous unwillingness to make contact with SCP-3763 when within a radius of three meters. When asked why, affected individuals will cite the "security system" as the reason for their refusal. SCP-3763-1 is immune to these effects, and is able to cancel the memetic effect on others by giving verbal or written consent for affected individuals to interact with SCP-3763. In the event that a substance is ejected towards SCP-3763, an invisible barrier will materialize, covering the outermost surfaces of SCP-3763, and suspended around it by approximately 3 centimeters. This barrier will deflect all materials and objects thrown at SCP-3763. Said materials will be able to make contact with SCP-3763 with the consent of SCP-3763-1. Discovery: The existence of SCP-3763 was uncovered on 7/22/2010 by intercepting communications between employees of Marshall, Carter and Dark LLP regarding a "Thalbrum Vehicle Security System." A prototype would be transferred to MC&D representatives at St. Everetts Memorial Hospital in Laurel Creek, California on 7/24/2010. SCP-3763-1 would accompany the vehicle on behalf of the late inventor. The Foundation was able to intercept this delivery by posing as MC&D representatives, and deceiving SCP-3763-1 into turning over SCP-3763 to the Foundation. Due to SCP-3763-1 giving permission to interact with SCP-3763 as needed, delivery to Site-48 was successful. Interview Log: The following interview was completed shortly after the arrival of SCP-3763-1 into Foundation custody. + Show Interview Log - Hide Interview Log Interviewed: SCP-3763-1 Interviewer: Researcher Terrance Tsai <Begin Log> Researcher Tsai: Hello, Mr. Thalbrum. My name is Terrance Tsai, and I am here today for your orientation as a honorary employee of Marshall, Carter and Dark Limited Liability Partnership. SCP-3763-1: Hi, sir. Please, call me Daniel. It's nice to meet you. Researcher Tsai: I have heard that your late father, Howard, invented a revolutionary new vehicle security system. Do you know how it works? SCP-3763-1: Nah. My dad liked to keep secrets, especially around my mom, when she was still around. Researcher Tsai: Do you mind if we run a few tests on the prototype vehicle? We'll need to see how the security system works before we can… um… put it out on the market. SCP-3763-1: Yeah, sure. Just don't crash it, it's actually my dad's first car. He had it since his teens. It's like a piece of him is still around, you know? Researcher Tsai: Thank you for your cooperation, Daniel. Another representative will meet you in here, and show you to your new room. <End Log> Closing Statement: [After this interview, SCP-3763-1 was taken to its containment chamber.] Test Logs: The following is an incomplete list of experiments regarding SCP-3763. + Show Test Logs - Hide Test Logs Test 3763-01 Procedure: D-3578 was instructed to enter SCP-3763 without permission from SCP-3763-1. Results: As D-3578 approached SCP-3763, he became apprehensive about his instructions, and refused to make contact with SCP-3763. When asked why, D-3578 cited the "security system" as his reason. SCP-3763-1, who was watching the experiment, then gave verbal permission to D-3578 to enter SCP-3763. D-3578 complied with the original instructions, and sat in the front passenger seat of SCP-3763. Notes: This security system appears to be a memetic hazard, and may not actually provide physical security for SCP-3763. -Researcher Xiao Test 3763-02 Procedure: D-6550 and D-4389 were both instructed to enter SCP-3763 without permission from SCP-3763-1. Results: D-6550 and D-4389 both refused to interact with SCP-3763. When SCP-3763-1 gave verbal consent, both personnel entered SCP-3763. Notes: SCP-3763 possesses the ability to affect multiple people at once. -Dr. Ficarra Test 3763-04 Procedure: Researcher Wendyl Wong attempted to operate SCP-3763 around a testing track at Site-48, in order to measure possible performance discrepancies due to its anomalous effects. Results: With the approval of SCP-3763-1, Researcher Wong entered SCP-3763, but refused to drive the vehicle. SCP-3763-1 had to give additional permission for Researcher Wong to drive SCP-3763. No discrepancies in performance were recorded. Test 3763-05 Procedure: An open bucket of red paint was thrown onto SCP-3763 by a mechanical arm, as no personnel were willing to throw the paint themselves. SCP-3763-1 was not informed of this test. Results: The paint was repelled away from the surface of SCP-3763 by an unseen obstruction. The paint, including the bucket, did not contact SCP-3763. Notes: In the event that contact with SCP-3763 seems unavoidable, the vehicle will be able to divert the materials in another direction to avoid contact. -Dr. Srivastava Test 3763-08 Procedure: Two machine guns were mounted onto mechanical arms, and instructed to fire upon SCP-3763. SCP-3763-1 was not informed of this test. Results: All bullets with a trajectory towards SCP-3763 halted in mid-air about 2 meters from the vehicle, and fell to the ground. No damage to SCP-3763 was recorded. Notes: There appears to be a unique effect on firearms, as the bullets stopped farther away from SCP-3763 than other materials, and did not bounce away. -Dr. Boudames Test 3763-10 Procedure: Foundation mechanic Nathanial Knapp attempted to wash SCP-3763 and change its oil and tires. Knapp was not informed of SCP-3763's anomalous properties. Results: When in close proximity to SCP-3763, Knapp was suddenly unwilling to perform maintenance, citing his "lack of experience" with vintage cars. SCP-3763-1 had to give written permission for Knapp to perform the necessary repairs. When attempting to spray water onto SCP-3763 for a wash, Knapp reported that the water instead accumulated on the invisible barrier, giving the appearance of floating puddles. SCP-3763-1 had to issue permission for the water to make contact with SCP-3763. When Knapp attempted to pour oil into the engine, the invisible barrier repelled the oil, resulting in the oil entering Knapp's orifices. Knapp was sent to the infirmary, and all repairs were cancelled. Test 3763-14 Procedure: A Ford F-650 would be driven towards SCP-3763 to measure the ability of its invisible barrier. As no personnel were willing to operate the vehicle themselves, a bipedal automaton would drive instead. SCP-3763-1 was not informed of this test. Results: When the test vehicle reached a distance of 25 meters from SCP-3763, its front fascia caved in and both axles locked up. The vehicle halted to a complete stop 3 meters from SCP-3763. The test vehicle was successfully repaired after this experiment. No damage was recorded on SCP-3763. Addendum: Following the initial containment of SCP-3763, a raid was conducted on the former Thalbrum family apartment in an effort to retrieve information regarding SCP-3763. While no such information was found, two letters were discovered, having been sent between SCP-3763-1 and Howard Thalbrum, who was staying at the St. Everetts Memorial Hospital when the letters were written. Both letters have been transcribed below. + Show Documents - Hide Documents Hey Dad, I want you to know that I'm doing okay. I'm sorry that I'm not able to see you. However, I'm able to write this letter to you. I know a lot is going on right now. The people at Marshall, Carter and Dark are probably trying to get you to sign something. I just want you to know that I still love you, and I always will. If I could visit you, I would, but I'm just really busy right now, with school and all. I heard the news about your cancer. They told me you only have a few weeks left. That has to be scary, and I can't imagine the pain you must be going through. Look, I know I wasn't the best person I could've been. I could've studied more and hung out with better people. When I heard about your diagnosis, I admit I was a bit self centered in how I responded. I worried about me, about how I would survive without either of my parents. But now I realize that I should've worried about you instead. I should've been there for you, to comfort you as your last days ticked away. I should've reminded you about the things you built, the lasting impact your inventions would have. But instead I just shunned you. I didn't even think of visiting until now, when I can't anymore. I have so much regret I want to express, all the pain and lost time I'll never get back. The memories I could've made with you after Mom left, they never happened. I wanted to follow my own path, ignoring the man who took care of me by himself. I just want to say that I'm sorry. I'm sorry for ignoring you, I'm sorry that I can't see you anymore, I'm sorry about how I wasn't there for you. I hope you can forgive me. I love you. Your son, Daniel Thalbrum 5/12/10 Saint Everetts Memorial Hospital Patient Memo, 5-14-2010 To Daniel, Thank you for writing a letter. You never were good at writing letters anyway, so it's good that you are practicing. While I am disappointed that you are unable to visit your old man, I am still grateful to hear from you. I have been working well with Marshall, Carter, and Dark LLP regarding my invention. I appreciate your longing to have spent more time with me, and to be honest, many of the activities you partook in disappointed me. However, I admit that I did not make a big effort to connect with you more, as I was focused on my invention. I should've tried to be more of an influence in your life, instead of chasing riches that I know I'll never get. It took a cancer diagnosis for me to appreciate the time I have left, but I'm glad that you don't need such an event to happen to yourself to appreciate life. After your mother left, I became more focused on my pet project. As a result, I neglected my role as a father in your life, as I was obsessed with success and fortune. Now that I've found an investor, I won't even be able to enjoy any wealth that my invention brings me. I'm still going with the contract in order to set up a royalty system for you, and your future. The money's going to have to go to someone, after all. I just want you to remember that time is short, and there's only so much to do. I want you to do great things with the money, and benefit many people. I suppose that's all I have to write to you. I've also put in my will that full ownership of my Biscayne will go to you as well. Oh, and I also accept your apology. Goodbye, my son. I'll see you some other day. I love you too. Howard F.

SCP-3764 | safe | Item #: SCP-3764 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3764 is to be contained in a standard Safe-class object container. Requests to use SCP-3764 for clinical, utility or humanitarian purposes are to be sent to the project director, acceptance pending their decision. Instances of SCP-3764-1 are to be regularly distributed to all staff members at meal times, if requested. Standing permission is granted for use as rations for D-class personnel, though special precaution must be taken to provide supplementary food in addition to SCP-3764-1 Description: SCP-3764 is a small burlap sack with cursive writing on the front that reads "For those in need -a friend" written in the native language of the reader. Illiterate subjects typically see some variation of a simple picture, typically of a steaming loaf of bread. Inside SCP-3764 is a loaf of wheat bread, warm and typically smelling freshly baked, designated SCP-3764-1. When taken out of SCP-3764, SCP-3764-1 will have a small string tied around it, with a note attached to it. The note is personalized to whoever first reads it. Notes typically range from one to two words in length, though some occasional instances have had lengthier notes. Notes are typically in the most formal version of whatever language they are written in, and are almost always signed, "a friend". Some notes suggest that SCP-3764 is conscious, possibly even sapient, as a few notes have been found that spoke directly to Foundation personnel. Notes are always in the native language of the first reader, and do not alter after the first reading see experiment log #3764-1. Once an instance of SCP-3764-1 is taken out of SCP-3764, a new instance of SCP-3764-1 will appear in SCP-3764. The number of SCP-3764-1 instances that can be generated is limited by the number of people within a 200 meter radius of SCP-3764. Initial testing revealed that SCP-3764-1 is safe for human consumption. Subjects who consume SCP-3764-1 describe it as having a pleasant taste. All subjects report a feeling of satisfied hunger, and experienced no feelings of hunger for the rest of the day, coupled with reports of pleasant feelings, and reports of a restful sleep. Subjects eating exclusively SCP-3764-1 and water for a period of three weeks experienced no malnutrition symptoms, and could have possibly survived indefinitely until an instance of SCP-3764-1 crumbled to dust when a researcher pulled it out of SCP-3764. Its note read, You know what they say, "Man cannot live on bread alone." and all that. Be nice. Variety is the spice of life. -a friend Instances of SCP-3764-1 continued to crumble when removed from SCP-3764 until researchers included side dishes of fruits and vegetables with them. Experiment Log #3764-1: Subject: D-4568, suffers from severe night terrors and sleep paralysis, resulting in sleep deprivation. Result: Standard loaf, note read "Sleep well. -a friend" Notes: Subject reported a deep and uninterrupted sleep. Requested permission for use of SCP-3764-1 as a sleep aid, which was granted. Subject: D-4678, clinical depression Result: Standard loaf, note read "I care about you. -a friend" Notes: Notable decrease in depression symptoms, such as improved hygiene and healthier sleep patterns. Research into possible medical applications of SCP-3764-1 ongoing. Subject: Site-19 personnel who consented to SCP-3764-1 being included in their cafeteria meals. Result: Pleasant effects resulted in increased adoption by other members of the staff. Latest psych evaluations show a notable increase in morale. Notes: Proposal for SCP-3764-1's use as field rations for MTFs submitted by project director to Foundation leadership. Subject: D-8934 and D-8942, in Cell Block F cafeteria. Result: D-8934 was accidentally overlooked during a handing out of SCP-3764-1 instances, and the guards left without giving him anything. D-8942 noticed this, and tore his loaf in half to share with D-8934. The two halves spontaneously became whole instances of SCP-3764-1. Notes: While not intentional, this incident possibly shows further evidence for SCP-3764 having consciousness and situational awareness. Subject: D-8654 and D-8681, in Cell Block K cafeteria. Result: D-8654 asked to read D-8681's note, who declined. D-8654 forcibly seized the note, and upon attempting to read it the note read "Be polite." -a friend Notes: Description updated due to new data. Subject: D-3457, convicted of multiple homicides, reportedly suicidal. Result: Standard loaf with note that read "Eat, and live. You owe them that much. -a friend" Notes: No further reports of suicidal activity, subject taken off of suicide watch by psych team. Subject: D-4561, convicted of a string of rapes and murders of small children Result: SCP-3764-1 instance came out of bag charred black, and crumbled to ash upon being touched by D-4561. The note read "Sweet Dreams. -Not your friend" Notes: Subject was very shaken by incident, and went to bed shortly after. Upon falling asleep, the subject began screaming in their sleep, presumably having a nightmare. Every attempt to wake D-4561 failed, including a powerful electric shock. Fourteen hours later, D-4561 woke, and began whimpering incoherently for the rest of his waking hours. D-4561 was hysterical in his desire not to go back to sleep, and eventually resorted to self harm in an attempt to prevent himself from falling asleep. D-4561 was moved to a special containment cell for his own safety and to monitor his condition, which remains unchanged to date. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3764" by Poached_Egg, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3765 | euclid | This is my first SCP I've ever written. I recognize that it's really not the best writing ever, and I'll probably make it better one of these days. But I'm still proud of it and I'm glad I was able to get it to stick! The image is an edited picture of Beaver_(29916261218).jpg (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Beaver_(29916261218).jpg) from the Wikimedia Commons and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license. ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} BY ORDER OF THE OVERSEER COUNCIL The following file is Level 3/3765 classified Unauthorized access is forbidden. 3765 Item #: SCP-3765 Site Responsible: Site-64 Director: Michael Brownfield Research Head: Jerard Throckmorton Assigned Task Force: N/A Level 3/3765 CLASSIFIED An instance of SCP-3765 inspecting a small tool. Special Containment Procedures: Per the Boring Agreement, containment of SCP-3765 defaults to GOI-466 (Wilson's Wildlife Solutions)1. All SCP-3765 instances located that are not in the custody of GOI-466 are to be contained within a Site-64 standard containment chamber and given sufficient food and water. After containment is established, instances of SCP-3765 are to be immediately reported to WWS Liason Frank Richardson and SCP-3765 Head Researcher Throckmorton. Civilian hunting of any beavers within Clackamas County, Oregon is to be discouraged through ad campaigns on local television networks by the WWS. Description: SCP-3765 is an anomalous group of Castor canadensis2 consisting of at least 1400 beavers found in Clackamas County, Oregon, and centralized in the town of Boring. Instances of SCP-3765 have higher average intelligence and significantly higher collaboration skills than their non-anomalous counterparts. SCP-3765's primary anomaly is the ability to replicate any human structure after being allowed to examine a building or observe blueprints of a structure for a time relative to its complexity. Instances of SCP-3765 prefer to build their structures on riverbeds and other areas where non-anomalous beavers reside, but have been shown to take civilian "clients" for inland construction. It is worth noting that SCP-3765 will always use wood for all components of a structure, even when non-wood materials are called for3. SCP-3765's secondary anomalous property is the ability to communicate in fluent English. Addenda: Addendum SCP-3765-1: Discovery SCP-3765 was brought to Foundation attention on ██/██/████ after GOI-466 (Wilson's Wildlife Solutions) received a number of phone calls from civilians encountering a group of beavers requesting the blueprints to their homes. See Addendum SCP-3765-2 for a transcript of one such call. Addendum SCP-3765-2: Transcript (Caller calls GoI-466. An employee of GoI-466 picks up, hereby referred to as Respondent.) Respondent: Hello, you have reached the Wilson's Wildlife Solutions Wildlife Helpline, how may I assist you? Caller: Hi, so the weirdest thing happened just 10 minutes ago, you probably won't believe me. Respondent: Go ahead sir, I'm sure I've seen weirder things. Caller: Uh, alright, so these beavers with hard hats knocked on my door and- Respondent: Oh not these guys again. Caller: Other people have reported this too? Respondent: Yeah, just recently we've been swamped with calls about these beavers, but please continue so I can place a full incident report. Caller: Right so these beavers with hard hats knocked on my door, and when I opened up, they did the weirdest thing, they asked to see the blueprints to my house. I told them I didn't have them and quickly shut the door. Luckily they ran away after that. Respondent: Thank you, we will have a team come to your house soon, may we have your address? Caller: Of course! My address is [REDACTED]. Respondent: Thank you, I'll send somebody there as soon as possible. Have a nice day! [END LOG] NOTE: A group of WWS employees was dispatched to the Caller's location at 16:38, at 17:23 visual contact was made with SCP-3765, and at 17:35, 15 instances of SCP-3765 were in the WWS's custody. Addendum SCP-3765-3: WWS Letter Exchange Regarding SCP-3765 Authorization from Head Researcher Throckmorton is Required to Progress Access Granted Below is a letter exchange between WWS Liaison Frank Richardson and SCP-3765 Head Researcher Throckmorton. To the Great Folks at the SCP Foundation, As you well know, as per the Boring Agreement, all containment of anomalous wildlife defaults to us, but you still have oversight of what we do with such anomalies. As such we would like to ask for your permission for a special project with the beavers, or what you like to call SCP-3765. After receiving several calls about the construction-loving beavers, we decided that we had to see for ourselves what these little guys could do. We went down to a riverbed where they were rumored to reside, and we were amazed by what we saw; they had built up almost a small town! They had things like a motel, tackle shop, and even a diner! All made out of wood, of course. We visited a building that looked exactly like City Hall, and we spoke to some of these beavers about what they were doing here. It was amazing the kind of ideas that they had, and the ambition they possessed. After seeing firsthand the kind of craftsmanship and intelligence that these beavers have. We believe that these beavers; if put to work, could expand our operations by a large margin. If given the proper training, we could have these beavers building things for our operation. This could expand our facilities significantly, making it so that your Foundation would not have to do as much work for us. We know you folks aren't too keen on using anomalies, you would rather keep them all contained, but we believe that the benefits far outweigh the minor breach in protocol that would be necessary. Please consider our request. Thank You, Frank Richardson Dear Mr. Richardson and the rest of Wilson's Wildlife Solutions, After carefully considering your offer, we have decided to begin testing SCP-3765 for subordination and cooperation with the Foundation. If they pass these tests we will approve SCP-3765 for use within Wilson's Wildlife Foundation. Anomalies are generally too unpredictable or dangerous to be of safe use, and we rarely if ever use them ourselves. We've never granted this right to another organization, but your organization has proven itself to be trustworthy. As you can imagine, there will be a lot of red tape surrounding an event such as this. If this goes through, we are going to keep a close watch on everything you do with SCP-3765, and if you go out of line, we will be forced to revoke your access to specimens of SCP-3765 for purposes beyond containment and study. If you do this right it could set the precedent that anomalies can be used safely and responsibly by organizations other than the SCP Foundation. Best of Luck, Dr. Jerard D. Throckmorton, SCP-3765 head researcher Mister Throckmorton, Thank you so much! As you can imagine it's hard to hire people for a secret wildlife preservation service specializing in animals that don't obey the laws of nature, so we need all the help we can get, and I believe that these beavers could significantly expand our foundation. Thanks a million, Frank Richardson Frank Richardson, The tests on SCP-3765 have been completed, and they have passed within acceptable levels. I have been authorized to let you use SCP-3765 on a trial basis. Be advised that if anything goes wrong you and your company will be liable and we will be forced to revoke your access to SCP-3765. Other than that, I hope they serve you and your company well. Best of Luck, Dr. Jerard D. Throckmorton, SCP-3765 head researcher Mister Throckmorton, We can't thank you enough for letting us use the beavers! We've spoken to them about our agreement and they seem ecstatic! We've already begun putting them to work building a new wing for our on-site dormitories, and they're doing a great job! We're thinking about teaching them how to use materials other than wood, but they seem a little apprehensive to that… They've streamlined our production of facilities and I think that our arrangement is going to be instrumental in the growth of the WWS. The good part for you is that they work for free so this should slash the amount of money you need to give us by a significant amount (see article 3 chapter 4 of the Boring Agreement for more details on the finances). Kindest Regards, Frank Richardson P.S. I know it might be hard to do with all your super-serious top secret save the world stuff, but you should take a day off and see the beavers, it's amazing! Dear Frank, I'm glad that the beavers are being put to good use, after studying their behavior, I feel like they will be of great help to you if you treat them with respect, of course. They really are interesting animals, aren't they; with the way that they all work with one another to bring about a common goal. If we didn't have to keep them a secret I think that they could easily replace all human construction workers with how well they work together. I suppose I've grown quite fond of these creatures in my study of them. Sincerely, Jerard Throckmorton P.S. I'd love to come down there and see them some time. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3766 | euclid | A World War 2-era aeroplane, partially consumed by SCP-3766 Item №: SCP-3766 Special Containment Procedures: As a method of preventing the effects of SCP-3766 has not yet been found, no plan for containment of SCP-3766 besides basic media suppression has been devised at time of writing. Description: SCP-3766 are semi-metaphysical creatures, capable of feeding on the conceptual base of anything deemed "man-made", including (but not limited to) artificial structures, works of art, digital information and humans themselves1. SCP-3766 are humanoid, between 80 and 150 cm in height, and composed almost entirely from desiccated plant matter and matted hair from various creatures. Attempts to neutralise SCP-3766 have resulted in instantaneous binary fission, which is presumed to be their primary method of reproduction. SCP-3766 instances are native to a hitherto uncharted Polynesian island approximately 12 km in diameter, located at the centre of a perception altering field, the net result of which is to render the island invisible to any subjects less than 200 metres from its border. A probabilistic anomaly (believed to be an intrinsic property of SCP-3766) also affects the island, and all vehicles (air, sea, or otherwise) passing within 500 metres will inevitably crash in its vicinity. This is due to external circumstances in 96% of cases, the other 4% being directly caused by SCP-3766. When left unobserved, SCP-3766 will construct life-size models of vehicles from any available material, and position these on the beach. Within 48 hours of the model's creation, the model's real-life counterpart will attempt to move close to the island (ordinarily following pre-planned routes), and will fall victim to SCP-3766's effects. Despite extensive research, no anomalous influence has been found to cause this correlation. The following is a highly abridged list of noteworthy models constructed by SCP-3766-1 instances, and the effects thereof: Date Details of Model Effect 19/03/1989 First model noted by the Foundation. Appeared to be a replica of a small sailing ship, complete with twenty model crew members and sails woven from natural fibres. A ship of similar size, returning from port, was drawn into the island by abnormally severe weather patterns in the region. Although initially intending to take only eighteen crew members, the captain (one Marcus Llewellyn), changed plans just before setting sail, allowing two others passage. All human crew members consumed by SCP-3766 alongside the boat itself. 14/08/1994 First non-seafaring vehicle replicated by SCP-3766, resembling a commercial passenger plane with a number of human passengers. All passengers consumed by SCP-3766 on landing. Aircraft used as the centrepiece for a primitive celebration, after which it was also consumed. 03/12/2003 A small vehicle, vaguely resembling several known brands of speedboat. Model was left on the beach for an abnormally long period of time, upwards of three weeks. Several vehicles similar to the model were stolen by a local gang, and anchored nearby. During a storm two weeks later, one such vehicle came unfastened and drifted into the others, which quickly followed suit. All vehicles were drawn towards the island by natural water currents, and were consumed by SCP-3766 over a number of months. 29/01/2017 A large, vaguely cylindrical object, tapered at one end with a number of spurs (tree branches) arranged radially. SCPSAT-044A, a Foundation-owned communication satellite, underwent scheduled deorbiting. Complications arose, and the satellite made a direct impact 50 metres offshore from the island. While initially observed with suspicion by SCP-3766 instances, it was quickly consumed along with its contents. 06/06/2021 [REDACTED] [REDACTED] See Addendum.1 for more information. Addendum.1: On 27/05/2021, despite worries over hostility from SCP-3766, the decision was made to station a permanent ten-man task force on the island. Research Task Force Gamma-Digamma ("So Cargo Good") was formed shortly after. Almost immediately after the initial island survey began, RTF-Γ-Ϝ Leader Micheals located a small, partially concealed cave on the eastern shorefront. The cave contained several SCP-3766 instances, who watched the intrusion warily, and ten humanoid models, dressed in white coats woven from dried grasses. Preliminary examination of relevant materials placed these models at just over 48 hours old. Contact with RTF-Γ-Ϝ was lost shortly afterwards. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3767 | euclid | by Captain Kirby The onset of SCP-3767 Item #: SCP-3767 Special Containment Procedures: Personnel embedded in United Airlines are to discourage, disrupt, and sabotage all attempts to overbook flights from Newark to Houston. Should an overbooked flight depart, Foundation personnel are to detain all passengers to administer Class-B amnestics before allowing them to disembark. Should personnel locate an individual not on the original flight manifest, they are to be detained and directed to a nearby Foundation site for further containment. Experimentation requiring overbooked flights may be scheduled under approval from SCP-3767 project head. Description: SCP-3767 refers to an anomalous phenomenon that occurs on overbooked United Airlines flights from Newark, New Jersey to Houston, Texas. SCP-3767 occurs approximately twenty minutes after the airplane reaches cruising altitude. The onset is indicated by a change in the color of the sky, as it will appear to take on a dark shade of purple1. This begins at the horizon, and spreads upwards. Once the sky has changed colors entirely2, the plane stops all translational movement, and enters a slowed free fall3. During this descent, the plane remains parallel to the ground, and the sky appears to grow red. At this point, a feminine voice with a British accent will speak through the plane's speaker system. This voice will declare that an extra passenger is on board and is weighing down the plane. The voice then states that this extra passenger must be removed in order for the plane to regain lift. Video procured during testing shows that an additional passenger is indeed on board. It is unknown at what point this individual appears. After an individual has been removed from the plane, free fall will cease, and the pilot will return the plane to cruising altitude. Ejecting this individual from the plane does not cause the cabin to undergo decompression. As the plane ascends, the sky will return to its original color. Searches of the area where the ejected individual was predicted to land have failed to locate said individual. Passengers aboard the flight are able to recall the events that take place during SCP-3767, but only when prompted. However, they are unable to comprehend the abnormality of the event. In 78% of recorded cases, the passengers collectively decide on an individual to remove, who is then ejected through the airlock. In 21% of cases, an individual removes themselves from the plane. See Addendum SCP-3767-1 for details on the remaining case. In 63% of cases, one passenger on the original manifest will be reported as missing after the event, despite the same number of people getting on and off the plane. Addendum SCP-3767-1: On 05/10/2016, The Foundation sent D-3114 to observe SCP-3767 on flight 3552. When D-3114 landed, all individuals on the original manifest were accounted for. SCP-3767 proceeded as normal, until the passengers attempted to decide who to eject from the flight: + Open Video Transcript - Close Video Transcript For brevity, the following transcription begins immediately after the announcement was made that an additional passenger was on board the flight. All footage was taken from D-3114's camera, which was planted as part of his jacket. <Begin Log> D-3114 is sitting in his aisle seat. The man in the next seat over has fainted. The majority of the passengers quietly murmur among themselves. A small child can be heard crying from behind D-3114. A number of additional passengers appear traumatized as well. Others move about the cabin to either reach their luggage or talk to others. D-3114: Here we go. D-3114 stands. D-3114: [shouting] Well, you all heard the voice, right? Cabin goes silent, save for a crunching noise. After the pause, a woman wearing standard business attire (Passenger A) stands and addresses D-3114. Passenger A: You're suggesting we actually throw someone overboard? D-3114: Do you have any better ideas? Passenger A: Are you insane? D-3114: Trust me lady, I've seen much weirder than this. Passenger A: So you are insane. Please sit down and we'll get you help as soon as we land. D-3114: I'm not ins— A man in casual clothing (Passenger B) stands as well. Passenger B: Are we even going to survive a landing if this keeps up? Passenger A: I mean… I don't know but… D-3114: You can look outside. Might not feel like it in here, but we're moving pretty fast. Passenger A: Sure but— Passenger B: I'm just sayin' that well, it's sorta a numbers game. Passenger A: I guess you have a point. Besides, if it doesn't work then we'd all be fucked anyways. D-3114: Now that's the spirit. Passenger A glares at D-3114. D-3114: Ok, so yeah. Everyone go to your seats. Like whatever it says on the ticket. We'll narrow it down to two people. Passengers reorganize themselves and take their seats. The cabin is silent again, except for a soft crunching noise. Only person left in without a seat is a young child (Passenger C). D-3114: Yo kid, where's your seat? Passenger C approached D-3114, and points to his seat. D-3114: Tough luck kiddo. This one's mine. Also who here is eating something? The crunching noise is really annoying. Passenger A: Wait, who says you aren't the extra passenger? Passenger B: Good point. Do you have anyone to vouch for you? D-3114: Of course! I got— D-3114 turns to the seat next to him. The man sitting there is still unconscious. D-3114: Hey. Hey! Wake up! Passenger B: Anyone else? D-3114 looks at the seats across the aisle. The passengers look away from him. D-3114: You guys don't really think that… Passenger A: It would make sense too. He could've been trying to trick us by actively misleading our search. D-3114: Well then I've done quite a shit job haven't I? Passenger A: I never said you were smart. Passenger B: Whoa whoa. Let's calm down a sec. Passenger B walks to Passenger C and kneels so he can look Passenger C in the eye. Passenger B: Are your mom and dad on board? Passenger C shakes his head. Passenger B: Where are they? Passenger C: Th-they said they would pick me up. My grandma brought m-me here, but couldn't come with. Passenger B: Do you have any luggage with you? Passenger C points to the overhead compartment. Passenger B opens it and pulls out a Spiderman-themed suitcase. Passenger B: This it? Passenger C nods. D-3114: How did you even get that up there? Passenger C: He helped me [points at unconscious man next to D-3114]. Passenger A: Mad man. You have any baggage? D-3114: Don't call me that, bitch. Passenger B: Again, we don't need this! D-3114: Right right. D-3114 reaches below the seat in front of him and pulls out a backpack. D-3114: Here. Passenger A: Well shit. The cabin is silent for thirty seconds. Then, a number of passengers start shouting and pointing fingers. A fight begins. After four minutes a passenger hits D-3114's camera, and the transmission is lost. <End Log> The flight landed on time, and all passengers exited the plane. Inspection of D-3114's camera showed no malfunction. When questioned about the conclusion of the argument, D-3114 failed to recall any specifics. Two days later, The Foundation received reports of an aircraft matching the plane from flight 3552 appearing in the Cherokee National Forest, TN. The plane itself was largely undamaged, but all passengers inside had expired from blunt trauma that would be caused by impacting the ground at terminal velocity. All passengers from the original manifest were present, as well as an additional unidentified male child. Autopsy of this individual showed that its insides consisted of partially eaten pretzel snacks, airplane safety cards, and emergency floatation devices. X-ray scans of the living D-3114 in Foundation custody yielded similar results. Footnotes 1. This change is only apparent from the inside of the plane, as outside observers have confirmed that the sky itself maintains its original color. 2. This process takes approximately ten minutes. 3. Generally remaining slower than one meter per second. |
SCP-3768 | safe | Item #: SCP-3768 Special Containment Procedures: Information about the procedure of SCP-3768-A is to be contained in a single, paper document at Site-59. Foundation webcrawler 7-ORFEO is to excise and expunge any other information on the Internet pertaining to SCP-3768-A. Standard information suppression campaigns are to be carried out at low priority for non-digital storage formats. A radio with a prepared SCP-3768-A arrangement is to be kept for research into SCP-3768-B. SCP-3768-B is to be monitored and recorded at Site-59 at the discretion of Director Naismith. Description: SCP-3768-A is a ritualistic procedure carried out through the use of: 3.7 grams of zinc, at least 400 grams of table salt, no more than 5 grams of silver, and 7 honeybee carcasses, at least 90% intact from death. These ingredients must be arranged in a specific formation around a civilian FM radio within 500 km of Baltimore, MD. Upon completion of SCP-3768-A, a new radio station can be accessed at 97.3 FM, identified as "Three Moons Public Radio," or "3MPR." The origin of this frequency is believed to be an extradimensional plane of reality. The show's 24-hour programming features news and editorials for the inhabitants of the signal's plane of origin. The host, who (allegedly) has never been off the air once in 300 years, identifies as a "permanently 27-year-old" female human of French Senegalese descent named Julie Niang - hereafter identified as SCP-3768-C. Whether or not the recordings are factual is restricted to personnel with 5/3768 clearance. Selections from SCP-3768-B recordings: SCP-3768-C: Good morning, Drysedge! It is now 8:00 AM Old Eastern Standard Time. Meteorological station Aleph is maintaining a pleasant 62 degrees out today, so wear a light jacket if you're headed to the meat tree market. SCP-3768-C: Lord Ghantouris, also known as the Elephant King or the Arch-Hedon, released an official public statement yesterday to celebrate the fact that he's temporarily sober for the first time in 300 years. He took questions from Saklovaian reporters on the steps of the Marble Hall. In regards to the approximately 30,000 captives of his so-called "meat orgies", Lord Ghantouris responded with, quote, "This was never a part of the plan. The soma was tainted from the start. None of us can stop. I cannot stop. I am scared. Please help us." + 4/3768 Clearance Required - encryption key accepted. Male Voice: …I suppose it goes without saying that I've been bloody well disappointed the whole time. There I was, all "imagine there's no heaven" and "no hell below us" - then I wake up from the murder, and I'm in a place that manages to be both at the same time. "Imagine there's no countries" - Corbenic's got a few trillion countries, and they're in a permanent war with one another. SCP-3768-C: Speaking of which, what are your thoughts on the Strider situation? Male Voice: Interesting that you mention that, I've actually got a song about the whole affair lined up for the new album. It's called 'Dead Monkey Good Monkey'. Probably one of my least subtle tracks in a while. I haven't yelled so much in 40 years of life as I had in 30 minutes of recording. The boys and I were tryin' to go for an early Devin Townsend sound, y'know, the angrier the better. Not to sidetrack too much, of course. So, as for the issue itself - as far as I'm concerned, the Striders gave peace a chance - then ate it, like they do with everything that isn't nailed to the ground in this hellhole. I'm not entirely convinced why we shouldn't just drop everything we have on Bogal Mountain. SCP-3768-C: To no one's surprise, the Central Cabal's unanimous passing of the Mandatory Pan-Corbenese Human Sterilization Act, or MPCHSA, has been causing controversy among the colonies, resulting in demonstrations across the Lunar Capitol. Opponents, including the Child of Heaven Coalition, claim that the right to responsibly conceive children is inalienable. President Niang, who is expected to sign the MPCHSA into law on Tuesday, released the following statement: Male Voice: The world we live in now was meant to be the logical conclusion of our lives on Earth. To create new life here would be to create mortal life. When this happens - and it has happened, all too often - the polarity of death is reversed, and the departed mortal leaves to live forever in Corbenic's so-called "sister universe". The tricky bit with this, of course, is that our world is designed for immortals. Theirs isn't. There are two inevitable results: a guaranteed living nightmare drifting off into deep space - or in the custody of the Foundation, as with several extant case studies - or the presence of an unkillable human being on Earth, with all the potential violence it would entail. SCP-3768-C: In addition, Three Moons Press Secretary Lyndon B. Johnson has insisted that the sterilization measures are painless, non-invasive, and - finally, some good news about this - will not affect libido. + 5/3768 Clearance Required - encryption key accepted. SCP-3768-C: We have some breaking news to report out of Bogal Mountain: the Witch-Queen — Hékati-Bøgal, may her name be thrice-damned for eternity — has died of apparent liver failure. Though it has been previously believed that the Witch-Queen was immortal, drone surveillance footage has confirmed the death of the Strider Matriarch, who was responsible for the consumption and agonizing digestion of over [REDACTED] immortal human colonists. Three Moons intelligence officials in the Prefecture have reported the Witch-Queen's last words to be "NØLAG MZJÉHN," which literally translates to "I find food-planet." It is believed that the Witch-Queen's postmortem vector is identical to that of humans, with a possible spawn point in the [DATA REDACTED BY ORDER OF O5 COMMAND] + RESTRICTED TO PROJECT MALEFICARUM PERSONNEL - Message from the ☽☽☽ Initiative: Foundation. We have some bad news. At an undetermined time in the coming months, the entity you know as SCP-PC-007, a hostile, reality-warping, ten-kilometer-tall, and now immortal primate, is going to enter the orbital path of Mars, en route to Earth. There is a negligible chance of neutralization if she is attacked before then, which becomes a full zero if she gets any nearer to Earth (multiversal iteration 2N). If the records of Foundation terminology from Earth-2M are at all analogous to yours, you have an XK on your hands - at best. Look - she is aware of the existence of SCP-3319, and it'll likely be the first thing she'll smash to pieces. There's no easy exit here. This is going to be a long and difficult battle, and the best potential outcomes that the pre-cogs in R&D can come up with involve the death of 89.5% of humanity. Many adjectives - doomed, among them - come to mind, but the last thing you are in the coming months is alone. We've fought five wars against her and her armies - a good two of which were successful. You’ll be provided with as much help as we can provide. And frankly, this is the angriest we've seen Lord JALAKÅRA in a millennium. His grudge against her predates multicellular life. Even if our army is 75% paperwork and in-fighting, we at least know He has an idea of what he's doing. And if she does cause your extinction - well, when you get to the Great Mead Hall of Saklovai, drinks are on us. You are watched, you are protected, and win or lose, you are loved. - ☽☽☽ ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3768" by daveyoufool, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3769 | safe | Item #: SCP-3769 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3769 is to be contained in a standard non-humanoid holding cell at Site-12. Level 4 security clearance is required in order to handle SCP-3769. SCP-3769 is not to be touched without the use of gloves or other protective hand gear. Any organisms affected by a Rescission Event are to be kept in a bio-research containment cell for DNA testing. Description: SCP-3769 is an electronic device of approximately the same size and shape as a standard scientific calculator. Buttons labeled with the numbers 0 through 9 and a button labeled with a decimal point are present on the device, along with a rectangular electroluminescent display screen. No other external features are present. SCP-3769 does not require a power source in order to function. SCP-3769 will adhere itself to any organic life form upon contact. Humans exposed to SCP-3769 have reported a mild stinging sensation during this process. Once attached, SCP-3769 cannot be removed without heavily damaging the affected organism until a number has been entered and the resulting Rescission Event has completed. The primary effect of SCP-3769, classified as a Rescission Event, can last anywhere between a few minutes and several days, depending on the number entered. During this time, the affected organism will evolutionarily regress, undergoing extreme genetic and physiological changes until it resembles a species from some point in its evolutionary or ancestral lineage. The exact resultant species depends on the number entered. According to human subjects, this process is extremely painful. This process will only activate when in contact with a living organism. If an organism dies while a Rescission Event is in progress, SCP-3769 will detach itself, leaving the transformation incomplete. Addendum 3769.1: Discovery and Apprehension SCP-3769 was in development at the ██████ Corporation when its existence was discovered by an undercover Foundation agent. The agent was discovered by corporation employees shortly thereafter, and all physical and digital schematics for the device were purposefully destroyed before Foundation personnel could obtain them. Dr. ████, head of the research division tasked with creating SCP-3769, committed suicide before he could be secured and interrogated, along with █ of his colleagues. Interrogation of other employees within this division was ultimately uninformative, and all remaining personnel within this division were administered Class-C amnestics and released. During temporary Foundation occupation of ██████ headquarters, SCP-3769 was found in a storage vault. It is believed to only be a prototype model, although details of the planned final product are unknown. Addendum 3769.2: Experiment Logs + Access Experiment Logs - Close Experiment Logs Experiment 3769-A Subject: Golden Retriever (Canis lupus domesticus) Number Entered: 1 Rescission time: 12 minutes Results: Subject acquired an appearance resembling a grey wolf (Canis lupus). Subject was still able to sit and roll over on command as it had previously been taught, suggesting that memories are unaffected by SCP-3769 Experiment 3769-B Subject: Domestic horse (Equus ferus caballus) Number Entered: 50 Rescission time: 4 hours and 28 minutes Results: Subject experienced a radical decrease in size, shrinking to about 0.4 meters in height, as well as minor alterations to the head, hooves, and tail. Subject ultimately resembled members of the extinct genus Eohippus. Experiment 3769-C Subject: Domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) Number Entered: 80 Rescission time: 7 hours and 57 minutes Results: Subject nearly doubled in size and experienced rapid molting. The growth of teeth, hands, and a tail also occurred. Subject ultimately acquired the appearance of an unknown species of theropod dinosaur. Experiment 3769-D Subject: Brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) Number Entered: 2000 Rescission time: 6 days, 14 hours, and 38 minutes Results: Subject’s skin and fur began to liquefy, followed by internal organs, muscles, and the skeleton. Subject was eventually entirely converted into a transparent, viscous liquid. Microscopic analysis found this liquid to be made from single-celled eukaryotic organisms Experiment 3769-E Subject: D-3491 (Homo sapiens) Number Entered: 0.0005 Rescission time: 2 minutes Results: Subject underwent slight facial reconstruction and a darkening in hair color. No other major effects were present. Subject remained fully cognizant and retained memories from prior to transformation. DNA analysis found the subject to be genetically identical to his father. Experiment 3769-F Subject: [REDACTED] Number Entered: [REDACTED] Rescission time: [REDACTED] Results: [REDACTED] Attention, Level 4 clearance is required in order to access further documentation on SCP-3769 + Input Credentials - Access Granted Addendum 3769.3: Experiment 3769-F Incident Report Experiment 3769-F was an attempt to discover the genetic nature and origin of SCP-411. However, upon attachment, SCP-3769 emitted rapid bursts of light from its display screen and ejected itself from the subject. The subject did not undergo any genetic or physiological alterations during this process. SCP-3769 became completely unresponsive for three days following this event before spontaneously reactivating. Following this revival, SCP-3769 was found to no longer evolutionarily regress organisms during Rescission Events. Instead, organisms exposed to SCP-3769 adopt genetic and physiological forms not present in the fossil record. It is theorized that SCP-411’s reversed temporal properties may have caused SCP-3769 to rewire itself and reverse in function, transforming affected organisms into an evolutionary descendant rather than an ancestor. All experimentation involving SCP-3769 after the events of Experiment 3769-F have been categorized as Post-F experiments, and have been marked with the θ symbol. Addendum 3769.4: Post-F Experiment Logs Experiment 3769-θA Subject: Theropod Dinosaur of unknown species (from Experiment 3769-C) Number Entered: 80 Rescission time: 7 hours and 57 minutes Results: Subject experiences degeneration of the hands, teeth, and tail, along with a decrease in size and the rapid generation of feathers. Subject resembled a domestic chicken by the end of the process. Experiment 3769-θB Subject: Brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) Number Entered: 50 Rescission time: 4 hours and 41 minutes Results: Subject expanded to nearly five times its original size. The legs of the subject greatly increased in length, and the toes converged into singular hoof like structures. The fur of the subject adopted a pattern of brown vertical stripes. Following the Rescission Event, the subject was recorded running at speeds of over 32 MPH. Experiment 3769-θC Subject: Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) Number Entered: 50 Rescission time: 4 hours and 19 minutes Results: Subject experienced a disproportionate expansion of the hind limbs, claws, and maxillary canines, as well as a decrease in the length of the tail. All fur on the subject increased in length and darkened in hue. Following the Rescission Event, the subject was observed moving in a manner similar to marsupials of the family Macropodidae (kangaroos). Experiment 3769-θD Subject: Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris) Number Entered: 200 Rescission time: 11 hours and 16 minutes Results: Subject developed a cartilaginous skeletal structure resembling a spine within each tentacle, as well as an enlarged cranial cavity. The two frontmost tentacles extended in length and each diverged into four flexible secondary appendages. Subject drowned within its aquatic containment tank before the Rescission Event was completed. The subsequent autopsy revealed that the subject’s gills had transformed into primitive lungs. Experiment 3769-θE Subject: D-8897 (Homo sapiens) Number Entered: 10 Rescission time: 1 minute Results: Subject died before undergoing any physical alterations. SCP-3769 ejected itself prematurely upon the death of the subject. Cause of death is unknown. Experiment 3769-θF Subject: D-4272 (Homo sapiens) Number Entered: 1 Rescission time: 1 minute Results: Subject died before undergoing any physical alterations. SCP-3769 ejected itself prematurely upon the death of the subject. Cause of death is unknown. Experiment 3769-θG Subject: D-6502 (Homo sapiens) Number Entered: 0.1 Rescission time: 1 minute Results: Subject died before undergoing any physical alterations. SCP-3769 ejected itself prematurely upon the death of the subject. Cause of death is unknown. Experiment 3769-θH Subject: D-7033 (Homo sapiens) Number Entered: 0.00005 Rescission time: 1 minute Results: Subject died before undergoing any physical alterations. SCP-3769 ejected itself prematurely upon the death of the subject. Cause of death is unknown. Addendum 3769.5: Appeal to The O5 Council The following is an email delivered by Site director Dr. ██████ to the [DATA EXPUNGED] of the O5 council regarding the possibility of an XK-Class End of the World Event. The approval of at least two (2) Level 4 personnel is required in order to access this file. To [DATA EXPUNGED] From: Dr.████ ██████ Subject - Possible XK-Class Event Greetings, Council, Let me begin by saying that I understand the exclusive nature of this method of communication, and that I would not under any circumstances contact you all if I did not have information of the utmost priority. That being said, I believe that some of the data resulting from the Post-F experiments of SCP-3769 may indicate an imminent catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions. Following an attempted experiment on SCP-411, SCP-3769 has essentially reversed in function, altering affected subjects along their line of evolutionary descent rather than ancestry. This has been all but proven by the use of SCP-3769 to transform a dinosaur from a previous SCP-3769 experiment back into a domestic chicken. From this, it can be assumed that all other subjects altered by Post-F experiments have taken on the forms of organisms that have yet to evolve but will eventually. However, all Post-F experiments performed on human subjects have resulted in death within a minute of SCP-3769 contact, with no noticeable alterations taking place. This occurred even when the value 0.0005, shown to be equivalent to approximately one generation in previous experiments, was entered into SCP-3769. The exact reason for this has not been definitively proven, but given the nature of SCP-3769, I am forced to believe that it may indicate the future extinction of mankind, possibly within our lifetime. I do not know what, if anything, can be done to prevent this outcome. I would recommend that more advanced containment measures be put in place for all Keter SCPs. However, it is not my place to make these decisions. I hope that by alerting you all to this situation appropriate measures can be taken in order to ensure the continuation of our species.

SCP-3770 | safe | An instance of SCP-3770 in containment Item #: SCP-3770 Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-3770 instances are to be kept in separate groups of 2-20. Each group is to be kept in a secure vivarium at least 20cm long, 10cm wide, and with substrate 10cm deep. The substrate is to compose of coconut fibre, decaying deciduous leaf litter, a calcium source such as powdered cuttlefish bone, and small amounts of sand. A small layer of dry leaf litter is to be provided above the substrate. Under no circumstances is pine to be used in SCP-3770 containment chambers. The vivarium is to be kept at a temperature of 22-24 degrees celsius and have a humidity of 60-80%. No sudden changes in climate are to take place. Each vivarium is to be kept in a room with a light source activated by solar power, as to replicate natural lighting. If an SCP-3770 instance shows any sign of molting, caution is to be held due to the vulnerability of instances during the process, and the substrate is not to be replaced unless in emergency. No pesticides are to be present in SCP-3770 containment chambers. All materials introduced to SCP-3770 instances are to be organic. Fresh fruit and vegetables are to be given to each group on a weekly basis, being left for two days prior to removal. Description: SCP-3770 is the designation given to an anomalous subspecies of Centrobolus Splendidus1. SCP-3770 instances are capable of communication through auditory means at high frequency with all species of arthropod capable of processing signals sent. Audio does not affect any known vertebrate or invertebrate which is not a terrestrial arthropod. All invertebrates which receive communications from SCP-3770 instances display abnormal behaviour, showing higher intelligence and extreme co-operative ability (see testing logs for more details). SCP-3770 will occasionally display a behaviour known as a "3770 1A event", in which instances will begin to chew wood pulp2 into a paper-like material. Instances then consume any brightly coloured, white, and black substance possible. The materials will be secreted through the anus as dye to the paper. The paper will then be fashioned into a square shape by use of instances' mandibles. Images formed through use of the dyes generally resemble images of invertebrates, deciduous forests, in a style associated with Byzantine religious artwork. Images contain text of unknown origin. Similar to the defence mechanism of most Diplopoda, SCP-3770 will secrete an irritating liquid. SCP-3770, however, constantly secrete said liquid. Although this has the chemical makeup of ordinary Centrobolus Splendidus secretion, if it comes into physical contact with any form of sapient life, severe visual hallucinations occur. + Testing Logs A-E - Hide Several experiments have been conducted exploring the anomalous effects of SCP-3770. These are recorded below. Test A - 27/07/2017 Procedure: To place an instance of SCP-3770 within a vivarium containing an individual Scolopendra Subspinipes Dehaani3 (SSD-0001-D) for 1 week. Results: The SCP-3770 instance was not harmed. SSD-0001-D began to construct a model resembling a coccinellid using moist substrate. Analysis: SCP-3770's effects are capable of supressing predatory instincts. Test B- 29/07/2017 Procedure: To insert an auditory arthropod (a Gromphadorhina portentosa4 designated GP-0001-D) within an SCP-3770 containment unit containing 15 individual SCP-3770 instances. Results: GP-0001-D showed abnormal behaviour, occasionally placing each end of its upper 2 legs together, whilst using the lower pairs to balance upright. Whilst doing so, GP-0001-D began to create loud respiratory "hisses" (as is common in the species) at short intervals translated to Latin morse code. Lines commonly repeated by GP-0001-D include: "Forgive my soul, oh lord, forgive me and forgive all of your other children." "By the grace of all the legs that you, oh dear and righteous god, have used to create our precious bodies, I thank you with all my open circulatory system." "I hope that one day I will join my brothers with you, oh father, my lord, at the completion of the promised land. Show me the way to devote my humble life as did your 87 saints, oh lord." Analysis: SCP-3770's effects can radically heighten intelligence. Test C - 30/07/2017 Procedure: To introduce an SCP-3770 instance to an individual Argiope bruennichi5 (AB-0001-D) . Results: AL-0001-D began constructing a line of Latin text by producing abnormally patterned web. This translated to: "We fly with our father, we ride through the moon, the sky, the stars. Now by miracle we may see him again. Our father, the promised land." Analysis: SCP-3770's effects can be utilised for a large range of species. Further research on the meaning of material produced is to be conducted. Test D - 30/07/2017 Procedure: To introduce an SCP-3770 instance to a colony of Camponotus Pennsylvanicus6 (CPC-0435), whilst providing the colony with a sheet of ply wood. Results: CPC-0435 engraved an image of what appeared to be multiple stellar formations, and planets such as "Venus", "Mars", "Jupiter", and "Saturn". A large coccinellid was in the place of Earth, bearing what appeared to be a "halo" above its head. This was created in similar fashion to images produced during 3770 1A events. Analysis: Further research on the meaning of imagery and text produced by SCP-3770 is to be conducted. Test E - 31/07/2017 Subject: Dr. Telford Procedure: In order to study the hallucinogenic effects of SCP-3770, the subject will induce SCP-3770's effects and record what is visually experienced. Results: See Document-3770-E for a log of recorded information provided by Dr. Telford. Analysis: See Document-3770-E for details. Further research involving SCP-2794 is to be conducted in conjunction with MTF Mu-77. + Document-3770-E - Hide During test E, Dr. Telford, a member of MTF Mu-77's research personnel, documented his experience on audio after contacting SCP-3770's secretion. Dr. Telford: Visual hallucination has begun, recording has started, commencing test. Initial image is of what appears to be a swampland environment, very fertile and abundant in life. I see a large amount of flying insects, various arthropods on the ground, and no birds in the sky, which is a dark shade of green. The area overall is dark and verdant. [Dr. Telford begins to walk around the testing area] Dr. Telford: There's a warmth pulsating from the ground, and a faint throbbing? Heartbeats, but not mine. I see something in the sky- I thought it was a faint cloud at first but now some mist has cleared, I am relatively close to the planet Jupiter. [Dr. Telford crouches down] Dr. Telford: The floor is moist and warm. Everywhere is so humid and abundant with life, but yet no birds, mammals, reptiles, fish, amphibians, nothing. Just bugs it seems. They all seem so healthy, the fertile landscape must be providing food. I can see predatory animals, giant centipedes and scorpions, all eating this green fungus-like material along with isopods, caterpillars, and others. Curious. [long pause] Dr. Telford: Burrows and nests are everywhere. This fungus is all around me in the ground. It seems to be sprouting from this green organic waste-like material. Curious, it's as solid as rock, must be the base of whatever I'm on. It's so tough, yet plant life is growing from it. [Dr. Telford looks up with a surprised expression] Dr. Telford: I can see it now, I thought it was just part of the atmosphere but it's a body. I'm on a leg, miles wide, hundreds of miles long. That's a body, a ladybird? And what I'm standing on, this hard green rock? That's what this thing is made of. It reminds me of something. [Dr. Telford breathes heavily] Dr. Telford: There are these pyramids of that green stuff, full of ladybirds and millipedes being shot off into space. They're just being launched from the body of this creature. I can see it, they're boarding them and they are just thrusting away. SCP-3770 and SCP-2794. I can't believe it. [pause] Dr. Telford: I-I see more of them in the distance, green with bright white spots. More ladybirds- or planets. They are everywhere now, like a swarm… There's a sign in the rock. It's translucent, I can make out the writing. "Testing Zone 02: Site-94". Oh my word. [hallucination ends] Footnotes 1. Mozambique fire millipede 2. if said material, or any similar substance is available. If not, the 3770 1A event will cease. 3. Vietnamese giant centipede 4.

SCP-3771 | safe | Item #: SCP-3771 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3771 is to be monitored through a live video feed at all times. In addition, two guards are to be posted at the entrance of SCP-3771 to prevent civilian access. Should any civilians attempt to enter SCP-3771, they are to be turned away politely, only using force should they attempt to enter regardless. Should Foundation personnel wish to eat any food from SCP-3771, they are to not eat any menu items that the Foundation deems potentially lethal. Description: SCP-3771 is a restaurant located in ████████, Hawai'i known as "Burger Island". Subjects who enter SCP-3771 are typically greeted by the restaurant's owner, a Polynesian woman aged 58 years old by the name of A█████ Bueno (designated PoI-273.) Should a subject request to dine at SCP-3771, PoI-273 will escort them to a table and hand them a menu (See Table below) with various food items for order. No prices are listed for any items on the menu. No other employees have been seen at SCP-3771, but despite this, all food ordered will be given to the customer approximately 10 minutes after ordering. While any food served visually appears to be what the subject ordered, consumption of the food results in the food transforming into a different and objectively healthier food related to what was consumed. Food ordered cannot be removed from the perimeter of SCP-3771, as any attempt to exit SCP-3771 while in possession of uneaten food will cause the food to disintegrate. Leaving without ordering any food will not have any adverse effects. Below is a list of select menu items and their effects. Menu Item Transformation Notes The Hawaiian Dream Burger, a beef patty topped with rum-cooked pineapple rings, American cheese, barbecue sauce and onions. Served on a sesame seed bun. Upon consumption, a whole pineapple forms in place of the food consumed. Typical result after consumption is death due to internal bleeding. The Chutney Burger, a ground pork patty topped with papaya chutney, red peppers, onions and a lime-infused mayonnaise. Served on a sesame seed bun. Upon consumption, a papaya puree forms in place of the food consumed. Subjects feel discomfort at the immediate liquidation of the food as it digests. The Hawaiian Sunset Wings, a plate of bone-in chicken wings coated in a sauce consisting of soy sauce, ketchup and pineapple juice. Upon consumption of each individual wing, a portion of chicken breast replaces the food consumed. Has caused choking, however the entire meal can be consumed without death. Sweet Potato Fries, deep fried sticks of sweet potatoes tossed with salt. Served with ketchup. Upon consumption, each fry loses any salt and oil content. If it was consumed with ketchup, the ketchup evaporates. Subjects report a loss of most of the flavor in the food, however report little problems in the consumption itself. A Standard Margarita, made with two ounces of tequila, one ounce of Cointreau and one ounce of lime juice. Served in a glass with a salt rim. Upon consumption, all alcohol content is removed from the drink. Subjects reported experiencing no difference aside from the lack of inebriation. Addendum: Below is an interview with PoI-273, conducted by Agent Willamette Cooper on 9/28/████. <Begin Log> Agent Cooper is seated in a booth located on the eastern side of SCP-3771. PoI-273 hands her a menu and begins to leave. Agent Cooper: Um, miss, I actually already know what I would like to order. PoI-273: Oh! You certainly decide quick, don't you? Well, what would you like, then? PoI-273 takes a pad of paper from her pocket and prepares to write. Agent Cooper: Well, I actually have a few questions, first. Just, just to be sure I get what I want to order. PoI-273: Oh, certainly! Anything that could make your time here more enjoyable. Agent Cooper: Well, ah, I heard that eating a few things on this menu can cause some, ah, adverse effects. Do you know anything about this? PoI-273 snorts. PoI-273: Adverse? As if anything I make doesn't help people out for the better. People love my food! Agent Cooper: So you know about how people here die sometimes after eating here? Particularly from food suddenly appearing in place of what you served them? PoI-273: Oh, some recipes are a bit old, but I don't have the heart to remove them. I've been running this place for years, I don't intend to suddenly change the menu and confuse the regulars. Note: No other customers other than Foundation personnel have been seen in SCP-3771. Agent Cooper: So it's on purpose? What possible reason would you have to make food that kills people? PoI-273: Oh, I don't make food that kills people, it's those dirty, greasy fast food places that are killing people! So often are people subjected to eating cheap, unhealthy food that just makes them fatter and fatter while the price of healthy food is jacked up to kingdom come! It's why everything I offer here is organic, locally-grown, and of course, free! Agent Cooper: But you serve people burgers and alcohol and chicken wings? PoI-273: Well, when people are so used to eating the unhealthy stuff, sometimes people need to ease into the good stuff! It's like taking a pill with a glass of water; it just makes it easier to go down. Agent Cooper: This whole thing, this whole restaurant is just a health joint in disguise? PoI-273: You say that like it's a bad thing! Everyone deserves to be healthy at a good price. Now, are you going to order anything? Agent Cooper looks back down at her menu. Agent Cooper: Which of these are newer recipes? Extraneous dialogue expunged. <End Log> ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3771" by OthellotheCat, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3771.

Thanks to Omino for sensitivity reading. Item #: SCP-3772 Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-3772 is considered dormant, and can be easily disregarded as non-anomalous, containment focuses on suppression of discussion surrounding its method of distribution. Contacts in all major media-sharing platforms are working alongside the Foundation to assist with pre-emptive removal of media meeting SCP-3772's parameters, under the guide of content-protection rules. Description: SCP-3772 is a phenomenon whereby internet content meeting certain criteria will convert to a video or infographic relating to the death of Faith Bassen in 2020. This conversion only affects end-user machines, and does not alter the media for others who have not triggered the phenomenon. Testing has identified the following as the primary parameters to convert media: The content is not owned/created by the user who posted it. A caption of or within the content alludes to a desire to discover the content's creator, whether or not said desire can be judged to be genuine (For instance, "OMG who did this??? So talented 😍"). Secondary factors which are not required but seem to increase the likelihood of SCP-3772 occurring: Artist/creator signatures and watermarks have been removed from the content. The account posting the content has posted other media which matches the primary parameters. The machine viewing the content is on US geopolitical territory. This factor increases exponentially as the machine approaches the census-designated place of Comfort, Texas1. Most commonly, SCP-3772 manifests as a static image of Faith Bassen with captioning providing details of her disappearance and the discovery of her body, with a strong focus on the lack of an official investigation by the local police force. When manifesting in video form, this information will commonly give way to phone camera recordings of Faith, with the names and faces of others appearing in the footage digitally censored. This footage is interspersed with graphic and provocative descriptions of her injuries, threats towards the perpetrators and the repeated line "FAITH BASSEN WAS MURDERED", which doubled as a hashtag for the movement to press the local police force to investigate the death. The first known instance of SCP-3772 came to the Foundation's attention on December 8th, 2020, two months after the death of Ms. Bassen. After confirmation of anomalous nature, initial containment focused on suppression of discussion and investigation of SCP-3772's trigger parameters. While this was successful in most cases, the prevalence of instances in the vicinity of Comfort, Texas, lead to strong local awareness of the case. As SCP-3772 was assumed by the public of Comfort to be the product of non-anomalous activity, priority was given to continued suppression of media attention outside this area. In January 2021, the Unusual Incidents Unit took over management of the investigation at the Foundation's request. With their input, the suspects in the Faith Bassen case were successfully identified and brought to accelerated trial between May and July 2021. Following this, the incident rate of SCP-3772 manifestations dropped almost completely. Addendum: Chatlogs Analysis of existing archived chatlogs for GoI-5869 ("Gamers Against Weed") show a number of conversations related to this issue, primarily involving the users warysue and tiedyeduck in a sidechat labelled #wip. As chatlogs are only available from the laptop of a member of the GoI who had little interaction with warysue, the majority of these conversations are contextless or incomplete. Excerpt 1: November 17th, 2020 -> you joined gaycopmp4: that all sounds doable yeah but we'll need to work on the specific vids you wanna include bluntfiend: You're really going for this, huh? -> Quavo joined warysue: we are . It's Important Quavo: glah gaycopmp4: strip out identifiers etc we don't want people complaining you're spreading their image gaycopmp4: we'll leave 4chamber's in obv warysue: just call her Faith . not warysue: not like her privacy matters now <- Quavo left tiedyeduck: Can I just go on the record as very fucking against this warysue: Fuck You bluntfiend: I'm inclined toward tiedye- Whoah ok. warysue: she's dead and I'm the Only One trying to do something about it tiedyeduck: I was going to elucidate my point but if you're going to be like this it'd be futile warysue: and gcm . bluntfiend: Ok, listen up. bones: I'm going to preemptively ask that you move this conversation to PMs. Warysue, while I understand your pain, it would serve you well to give benefit of the doubt in this context. bluntfiend: Never mind, bones is on it. warysue: noted, and Fuck that warysue: gaycopmp4: lemme know on the discord if you've warysue: got more questions . I'll work on fuzzing out faces And Shit <- warysue left tiedyeduck: Look, I'm not saying the idea is fundamentally bad, but the execution you're discussing is just crass. gaycopmp4: she's gone tiedyeduck: yeah tiedyeduck: :/ bones: She is grieving a close friend. Her behavior may be more extreme for a time, but remember that she is working through a trauma. I believe you know what that feels like. tiedyeduck: We all do, bones. tiedyeduck: This is gonna be a clusterfuck, isn't it? Excerpt 2: November 22nd, 2020 -> warysue joined lesbian_gengar: I /could/ do that but what would be the point warysue: hey All harmpit: comn gnengar you knwo itsll be funny as hsit kkrule: hey sue i think duck was looking for you earlier kkrule: tiedyeduck: ping ping warysue: I Don't want to talk to harmpit: mr fucking olbiquly refranced will risse from the asehs warysue: to him tiedyeduck: I just wanna say I'm sorry. lesbian_gengar: talk to gaycop about this she's better with computer stuff tiedyeduck: I came in too strong the other day - I want to help, I just think you're going about it the wrong way. warysue: that's a shitty apology tiedyeduck: Come on. kkrule: uh sorry i didnt know you were fighting warysue: no you Come On . I'm going about it Exactly the way Faith would have wanted it. harmpit: ccol cool ill tdo that but fi she says no ii can comc bank to you righu kkrule: i thought he wanted to do over watch or something tiedyeduck: Exactly what she would have wanted? I've seen your demo posters. The places you're intending these to end up, she'll end up in the hands of people who'll make her a target for ridicule. warysue: 1 . I know there's Awful People out there that's why Faith is fucking dead and 2 . I thin warysue: 2. I think there's more people out there who'll listen and tweet kkrule: god im really sorry waysue warysue: it's ok kkrule just Ssh tiedyeduck: Is that worth it, though? Her face getting used for awful jokes, becoming synonymous with all the other dead trans girls they fucking meme about. She's not gonna come back. warysue: I can't believe you'd fuck warysue: fucking say that , of course its Worth It to catch whoever did it harmpit: i ccant beleieve youd fcuck haaaaaa bones: Inappropriate in the context, harmpit. tiedyeduck: You really think it'll achieve that? Even if the cops do start an investigation, it's been weeks and she was found on a riverbank, there's no evidence to examine. Maybe if they'd done a proper autopsy they'd have something to work on, but they couldn't. kkrule: yeah not cool harmpit come on -> you left (Timeout) Excerpt 3: December 9th, 2020 orbhorse: pee is stored in the galls -> warysue joined heartshapeddoxx: ob dude you're the worst bones: Warysue, you should know that The Daily Dot published a short article about #FaithBassenWasMurdered 23 minutes ago. warysue: I was just about to link it, yeah ! bluntfiend: Shit my guys, I think I just swallowed a whole chicken wing. warysue: it's starting to Happen heartshapeddoxx: is this like a new goof or something heartshapeddoxx: I'm so out of the loop kkrule: hi HSD are you new warysue: it's very much Not A Goof . bones: Heartshapeddoxx is an older member of the chat, from before my time here. From what I understand, he played a large part in its creation. This is his second time back since you joined, kkrule. warysue: this is a movement I started to get justice for a Dead Friend of mine heartshapeddoxx: haa yea and I don't even remember the last time heartshapeddoxx: oh shit I'm sorry warysue: it's ok . you didn't know unlike s warysue: unlike Some People lesbian_gengar: so are you trending or tiedyeduck: I thought we sorted this, wary. kkrule: oh shit i remember that i hope it does well bluntfiend: .botsnack some good fuckin oatmeal warysue: lesbian_gengar: not yet but it's really built since the article hit so fingers crossed orbhorse: dude how baked are you we haven't had a bot in like years bluntfiend: Whhh? warysue: tiedyeduck: sorry dude yeah I'm just Still Angry and I'm putting that on you heartshapeddoxx: did you fuckin see i was online and time-teleport back to like 2008, friend kkrule: just tweeted about it warysue! bluntfiend: Where's oinky friend ;_; warysue: I'm going to go up to the station and let them know What's Coming . heartshapeddoxx: ren and me are working on it, blunt. Janitors have her rn so github updates are a no-go. Although... warysue: these pigs are gonna Regret not listening to me <- warysue left bluntfiend: Pigs? :D Excerpt 4: November 11th, 2021 polaricecraps: this is fucking horseshit ok you go on about not wanting to draw attention but we draw attention like nobody's business bluntfiend alone is probably like triple on the janitor's radar already harmpit: perison bwloe triple rdaar polaricecraps: and we've already DONE shit like this we got those guys caught when 4chambers was killed and she was like barely a member lesbian_gengar: hey whoah let's not throw shade at the dead bluntfiend: Lest the dead dab back. kkrule: dabs aren't a good meme anymore now polaricecraps: like if it'd been an exception cos it was Dove I'd have understood man but you're telling me we can hijack the fuckin hashtag tearjerk market for someone who said like four lines max in main but we can't leverage that same shit to defend ourselves from the nazi fucks trying to kick our damn door down bones: Op order, drop this now. Lesbian_gengar has it right, speaking ill of the dead is in very bad taste. 4chambers may not have participated to your knowledge, but I can inform you she was very much a member of our community. lesbian_gengar: bluntfiend is old he doesn't know shit warysue: whatever , not like it matters not warysue: nothing Changed . polaricecraps: dropped but I wanna talk about this again when I've cooled off bones: That is acceptable. kkrule: i know you don't feel that way wary but the men who did it got caught and they're in jail now so it did make a difference lesbian_gengar: don't, kk warysue: only two of them . Other guy walked away Scott Free . And they only got twenty years, w chance for parole in fucking "024 warysue: *2024 bluntfiend: You can rest easy knowing you did all you could, wary.

border-image-width: 6; padding: 2vw; } Item #: SCP-3773 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3773-14 is contained in a small animal containment cell on sub-level 13 of Site-87. Enrichment activities with SCP-3773-14 are to be carried out by containment staff at least three times per day. SCP-3773-14's diet does not differ substantially from a non-anomalous feline's; however, all manifestations of SCP-3773-14 are lactose intolerant. Outside materials, such as pet brushes and toys, are to be fully decontaminated prior to their introduction to SCP-3773-14, to prevent a possible repeat of incident 3773-13. In the event of SCP-3773-14's death, SCP-3773 is to be kept in storage for no more than sixty days; a new cat is to be introduced to SCP-3773 and designated SCP-3773-15, with the containment procedures appropriately updated when SCP-3773's anomalous effects manifest. Description: SCP-3773 is a collar made of linen rope. Chemical analysis of SCP-3773 has shown that the fibers of linen contain hairs from at least 200 distinct domesticated felines; the oldest specimen of hair identified dates to approximately 2025BCE. A pair of brass clasps have been added to SCP-3773, possibly due to the wear of the original binding mechanism. SCP-3773 exhibits a mild cognitohazard; if an individual interacts with SCP-3773 with the intent to destroy it, they will place it down on the nearest safe surface and disregard it until they are out of sight of SCP-3773. SCP-3773's anomalous properties manifest when it is affixed to the neck of a member of the species Felis catus, designated SCP-3773-#. SCP-3773 cannot be removed until the death of the SCP-3773-# instance, and its dimensions will grow and shrink so that SCP-3773 is always fit close to the skin of the SCP-3773-# instance, without causing discomfort. The SCP-3773-# instance will begin to show biological changes consistent with felines that have worn SCP-3773 in the past whose DNA has come into contact with SCP-3773.1 It is estimated that SCP-3773 can 'store' the biological information of at least eighteen different cats at a time. SCP-3773-# instances show a capability to alter themselves to have traits of several different felines, seemingly at will. Fur color, eye color, length and presence of a tail, and biological sex are all variable in SCP-3773-# instances; however, all instances of SCP-3773-# are uniformly lactose intolerant, even if the felines SCP-3773-# takes the form of were not. These shifts in form are accompanied by changes in behavior, including preference in food, changes in responses to stimuli such as petting and high-pitched noises, and responding to different names. Litters birthed by SCP-3773-# will have offspring genetically identical to felines currently 'stored' in SCP-3773. The default 'form' of SCP-3773-# instances seems to be a chimeric mixture of all genetic information currently present in SCP-3773; fur will often appear to be in a patchwork pattern, eye colors are often heterochromatic, and in some cases, several tails, all functional, can appear. Addendum: Incident 3773-13: Dr. Cassandra Pike, a parazoologist at Site-87, was given permission to bring items that belonged to her cat for the purposes of enriching SCP-3773-14, including a hairbrush, toy mice, and a 'dingle ball'. Dr. Pike's cat died in August 2015 under unknown circumstances. Dr. Pike was allowed to interact with SCP-3773-14 for the purposes of studying behavior. In January of 2016, the following audio was recorded in Site-87's containment wing: Dr. Jacob Kola: Hey, Cassie. Here to play with Mongrel?2 Dr. Cassandra Pike: Today's my last day with them, actually— for a while, at least. Flying out to Oregon to help Dr. Hendricks get acclimated with his new job. Dr. Kola: Go right in. (Sound of a buzzer, followed by the containment airlock opening, followed by approximately seventy seconds of silence, before in-cell intercom is buzzed.) Dr. Pike: Jake, you have to see this, right now. Dr. Kola: What's the matter? Dr. Pike: 3773-14, Mongrel, whatever you want to call it… it looks just like my cat. My dead cat. (Dr. Pike sounds shaken) It looks just like Oliver. Sounds like him, too. Dr. Kola: That's impossible. Your cat was never in contact with 3773, it couldn't have gotten its genetic signature. Dr. Pike: Then why… why does it look like my cat? What the fuck? Dr. Kola: There have to be millions of tortoiseshell cats out there, Cassandra. Calm down. (Several seconds of silence) Dr. Pike: How physically detailed are the things that 3773 makes? Dr. Kola: Why do you ask? Dr. Pike: Oliver had a rib that never healed right when I got him; some jackass kicked him or something. Made a big bump in his right side, under the skin. I want to see if it's there. Dr. Kola: Go ahead. Dr. Pike: Hey, hey Ollie. Oliver. Come here, Ollie. Oh my god, Jake, it came when I called his name. Come here, come to momma, come here… (Ten seconds of nonsensical noises from Dr. Pike, showing affection to SCP-3773-14, before ceasing suddenly) Dr. Pike: Oh my god. It's there. The bump's there. His little broken rib. (Dr. Pike begins crying.) What the hell, Jake. What the hell. Subsequent testing showed that exposure to any feline DNA, not necessarily felines that have worn SCP-3773, has a potential chance of SCP-3773 cataloging it. To date, three felines have been cataloged in SCP-3773 in this manner, including Dr. Pike's own cat. Addendum: Following Dr. Pike's return from Oregon in February 2016, her work with SCP-3773-14 resumed. SCP-3773-14 would often take the form of Dr. Pike's deceased cat, much to her distress. For the purposes of this document, this form of SCP-3773-14 is designated SCP-3773-14A. Dr. Pike requested a full-time assignment to SCP-3773-14's research staff for a period of three months, suspending two other non time-sensitive projects. This request was approved by Dr. Adam Larrsenn, current head of cryptozoological and parazoological studies at Site-87. However, Dr. Pike's behavior turned highly abnormal after one week of study; Dr. Pike spent increasing amounts of time with SCP-3773-14, and at one point, fell asleep in SCP-3773-14's cell, risking the containment of two other anomalous items stored on the same level. For this, Dr. Pike was reprimanded, but did not have her clearance rescinded. The following conversation is recorded to have taken place between Dr. Pike and her significant other, Dr. Claude Mattings, at 1:12 AM on March 19th, 2016: Dr. Mattings: Cassandra, where are you going? It's the middle of the night. Dr. Pike: I'm just going out to the Meijer.3 I have a craving for Twinkies, and they're the only place in town that's open this late. Dr. Mattings: Going to the grocery store doesn't require a security pass, Cass. Dr. Pike: Signing out with the night receptionist does. Dr. Mattings:…the elevator to the surface is that way. You're heading down to containment again, aren't you? Dr. Pike: What the hell do you want from me, Claude? That's my cat down there. You remember what I did when he died. He was the only good thing in my life for a long time, and… I have a chance to see him again. To say goodbye. Dr. Mattings: What do I want from you? I want you to get to the infirmary ASAP. You've clearly been affected by something. Dr. Pike: What do you mean? Dr. Mattings: This obsession you have, this worship of something that looks like your dead cat… it's not natural, hon. I think you've been whammied.4 Dr. Pike: I haven't been whammied, Claude. You know what one looks like. It doesn't look like this! I… I just want to say goodbye to Ollie. Okay? That's all. Dr. Mattings: There's an easy way to test it, then. Five words. Dr. Pike: Seriously? Fine, say them. Dr. Mattings: Does the Black Moon howl? At this point, Dr. Pike's vocal patterns radically change, and the recording picks up the presence of metal shaking against metal in a musical manner. Dr. Pike: It never stopped the sun from smiling. She wore a smile to rival its brightness before her beloved passed into the Duat, but her heart grew heavy and hardened. She deserves another chance to say goodbye, just as you gave her another chance. Dr. Mattings: What. The. Fuck? Dr. Pike's vocal patterns return to normal, and she appears ignorant of the above. Dr. Pike: Satisfied? Dr. Mattings runs for the security alarm and summons agents to Dr. Pike's location. Following this, Dr. Pike was restricted to a low-level humanoid containment cell for a period of at least three months as an anti-cognitohazardous treatment was developed for SCP-3773's anomaly. Dr. Pike's security clearance for SCP-3773 has been rescinded. Addendum: Interview with Dr. Pike: The following interview was conducted one month into Dr. Pike's isolation for cognitohazard treatment. Dr. West: Dr. Harold West, beginning interview with Cassandra Pike. Cognitohazard test. Does the Black Moon howl? Dr. Pike: It never stopped the sun from smiling.5 Dr. West: Cognitohazard still present. According to Dr. Breaker, that response is consistent with a cognitohazard originating from Egypt, last seen in— Dr. Pike: (Sighing) This is all over a cat. Dr. West: Pardon? Dr. Pike: All I wanted to do was… tell what was the one good thing in my life for a good five years that I loved him. Dr. West: I can arrange for Dr. Mattings to visit. Dr. Pike: (Laughs) I mean other than him! He… when I came to Sloth's Pit, this site, do you remember what happened? Dr. West: The Cold Storage incident. Everyone remembers. Dr. Pike: When I was holed up at home trying to recover, when the site was being repaired, I kept seeing this cat in my backyard. He kept on coming to the door, asking for food, begging like Oliver Twist. He always wanted more. He came into my room one day, and… he just stayed. Then… Oliver just vanished one day. I let him out, and he never came back. I found him in some hedges a few days later, and… (Dr. Pike's voice grows tense) God, Harry, I'm a wreck. Dr. West: Have you been taking your medication? Dr. Pike: Daily. They're giving me too big of a dose; can you see about adjusting it? I'm supposed to take half of what I get, and they keep urging me to take the whole thing. Dr. West: Of course, Cassandra. (Dr. West stays silent for several seconds, before sighing) Speaking candidly? Everyone knows everyone here. And most of us are concerned about you, and what's going on. 3773 is one of the few items here that's a proper skip, and to see it affect a researcher like this… Dr. Pike: What if there's no hazard? Dr. West: The Five-Word Test disproves that quite soundly. It's a near-failproof cognitohazard detection meme. Dr. Pike: You heard the recording. Did that sound like me? (Dr. Pike pauses.) I think I got whammied, but not in the cognitohazard way. I think that something messed with me to get me in here. Dr. West: Why would this force have a motive to do that? Dr. Pike: …because it wants me to be alone. So I can finally do what I want. Following this, Dr. Pike became unresponsive to questions. Dr. West concluded the interview. Addendum: Video Log: The following is a transcript of a video recording taken in Dr. Pike's observation cell on June 3rd, 2016. 22:05: Camera malfunction. Video restored three minutes later. Audio unavailable for the duration. 22:08: Dr. Pike stirs in her sleep, and sits up to face the door to her chamber. 22:09: Door to the containment chamber opens into a white light. The exterior cameras of Dr. Pike's cell show the door closed. 22:11: A pair of felines emerge from the light; one of them resembles SCP-3773-14A, the other is an unknown entity resembling a black house cat with a tail approximately .5 meters long, a golden mask on its face, and luminescent eyes. Video resolution is poor, but the latter entity appears to be wearing SCP-3773, while the former is not. 22:12: SCP-3773-14A jumps on Dr. Pike's bed and begins interacting with her affectionately. Dr. Pike is seen to be crying and hugging SCP-3773-14A. Dr. Pike appears to be addressing the unknown 3773-# entity. 22:30: Between the two timestamps, Dr. Pike and SCP-3773-14A are seen interacting and playing, with the unknown 3773-# entity producing strands of rope and balls from behind itself for SCP-3773-14A and Dr. Pike to play with. At 22:30, SCP-3773-14A jumps off of Dr. Pike, and makes it way to the door. Dr. Pike walks after it, picking it up and kissing it on the forehead. 22:34: Both SCP-3773-14A and the unknown SCP-3773-# entity depart, with the door closing behind them. Dr. Pike returns to her bed and sleeps, and is seen holding something in her left hand. Upon review of the footage the next morning, footage SCP-3773-14's cell was inspected, and showed it sleeping in the corner of its cell. Following this incident, SCP-3773-14 has not assumed the form of Dr. Pike's former cat. Dr. Pike herself was interviewed by a member of site security following this: Agent Nicholas Ewell: Do you remember this incident? Dr. Pike: …I remember it, but I can't believe it happened. Then I woke up with you all at my door and cat hair on my clothes. Agent Ewell: Does the Black Moon howl? Dr. Pike: [DATA EXPUNGED] Agent Ewell: Cognitohazard seems to be absent, if it was there in the first place; we're still going to keep you under observation for the duration. Do you know what this… entity that was with your cat was? Dr. Pike: …I think I have some idea, but you're going to have to run it by the mythology department on sublevel 5 for me to be positive. She kept on making toys for me to play with him; she even gave me one of his favorite balls. I actually managed to say goodbye to him. Do you know how good closure feels, Agent Ewell? Agent Ewell: No comment. Dr. Pike: It felt good. Oliver's not the first cat I had, but he's probably one of the best. I was… kind of lost, between losing him and my tiff with Claude; now, I feel like I can take on anything. Agent Ewell: Let's start with you taking on counseling. After observation is done and we're sure that the… for the sake of simplicity, the cognitohazard is out of your system, you're on psych leave, three months, by order of Director Weiss. You're not to come back to this zip code for any reason barring a major emergency until then. You have family? Dr. Pike: Parents and brother in Ohio. Agent Ewell: Good opportunity to visit them. You're gonna need to sign a memetic geas, of course. Dr. Pike: Gag order. Right, can't blab to the folks. (Dr. Pike clears her throat.) Is that everything? Agent Ewell: One last thing; the video showed you holding something in your hand when you went to sleep. What was it? Dr. Pike: I have it right here, one moment. SCP-3773-A designates a non-anomalous leather collar with a breakaway fastener, intended to be worn by housecats. A brass name plate reading Ubaste is affixed to it. Footnotes 1. See incident 3773-13 2. A nickname given to SCP-3773-14 by containment staff. 3. A chain of supercenter stores exclusively located in the Midwestern United States. 4. A colloquialism used at Site-87 to indicate exposure to a cognitohazard. 5.

SCP-3774 | neutralized | Item #: SCP-3774 Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-3774 have been located and terminated. Any backup blueprints or files detailing the creation of additional instances of SCP-3774 have been deleted or destroyed, only saving the original copies for file storage. Description: SCP-3774 was a prototype for a genetically and cybernetically modified subspecies of mosquito initially created by the Foundation to covertly survey Persons of Interest. Instances of SCP-3774 were bred to pass bio-engineered augmentations onto their offspring, as well as produce a successive generation of 90% female individuals.1 The augmentations themself granted instances of SCP-3774 the following properties: Photo recognition Live video and audio broadcasting Access of a self-contained genetic database Emission of a signal that would show its Global Positioning Location Instances of SCP-3774, when shown an image of a human subject, were intended to seek out the subject covertly. It would then use its proboscis on a human subject it believed to be a match to the subject shown and consume a small portion of its blood to analyze for a genetic match. Once a genetic match was found, the instance of SCP-3774 was intended to remain within proximity of the subject, broadcasting live video and audio feed of the subject until the Foundation retrieved the subject. While most tests with instances of SCP-3774 proved positive, the introduction of adaptive vocalization2 to them caused an unknown error to occur. When an instance of SCP-3774 consumes the blood of a subject, regardless of whether or not it is a genetic match to the subject it is intending to find, it attempts to communicate with it, often expressing infatuation. In most cases, instances of SCP-3774 have tried to court subjects, with primarily negative results. Once this error became known to the Foundation, all instances were located and recalled, where they were studied in an attempt to repair the malfunction. After further trials, the error itself was discovered to be unfixable, and all instances were promptly terminated. Any video logs recorded by the instances have been stored for research purposes. ENTER LEVEL-3774-3 CREDENTIALS TO ACCESS ACCESS GRANTED Below is a series of select video logs recorded by SCP-3774-2432 after locating a subject believed to be PoI-███, however it was later determined to be a false match. The following events have proven to be a rare case, only occurring in two other occasions. <Begin Video Log 3774-01> SCP-3774-2432's camera view is apparently from the top of the subject's bookcase. SCP-3774-2432's camera displays the subject lying on his bed, awake. The room the subject is located in is poorly lit. SCP-3774-2432: Hello? The subject quickly sits up in his bed and looks around the room, apparently panicked. Subject: Is someone there? SCP-3774-2432: Yes! Hello! Subject: Where are you? How'd you get into my house? The subject turns on a lamp on his night stand and stands up from his bed. SCP-3774-2432: I'm… um… I'm a ghost! Subject: Ha ha, very funny. Could you just come out, please? I said please, I'm being polite. SCP-3774-2432: I… I told you! I'm a ghost! Yup! The subject is now searching under his bed. Subject: I'll call the cops if you don't just come out, missy! And I don't want to call the cops! SCP-3774-2432: No, don't! Please, I don't want you to get into any more trouble! There are already people who know I'm here! The subject emerges from underneath his bed and stands up straight. Subject: People who know you're here? What's that supposed to mean? Don't tell me you're an escaped convict or something. SCP-3774-2432: No! God, no, don't worry about that. Just… forget I said anything. Subject: Look, miss, just come on out, and tell me what's going on. SCP-3774-2432: No, I can't! SCP-3774-2432 pauses. Not now, anyway. Silence for five seconds. Subject: Subject sighs. Fine, stay hidden. Could you at least tell me what's happening? If you don't, I will call the cops, I don't care what's going on. SCP-3774-2432: I'm… I'm embarrassed… Subject: Of what? What's so bad that you literally broke into my house? Because it must be pretty awful if that's what it came to. SCP-3774-2432: No, no… no. It's, weird, really. SCP-3774-2432 simulates laughter. Subject: I've heard a lot of weird shit in my day. Salmon clogging up toilets, kids getting stuck in dumpsters, all sorts of nonsense. I doubt what you have to say is going to be weirder than a salmon in a toilet. Silence for four seconds. SCP-3774-2432: Well.. I work for… god, I shouldn't even be telling you this. Subject: Work for what? Are you a spy? Are you spying on me? SCP-3774-2432: No! Well, not at first. I was meant to find some big scary guy that worked for this other organization, but like… I confused him with you. Subject: Jesus fucking christ, you're a spy?! SCP-3774-2432: I'm not spying on you! Subject: Then come on out and show me your face if you're not spying on me! SCP-3774-2432: I told you I can't come out! I'm… I'm doing this remotely! With microscopic drones! Subject: Then cut whatever signal you have, then! If I'm not the guy you're looking for, get out of my house! Please! I just want a good night's sleep for once! SCP-3774-2432: I… okay. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother you. SCP-3774-2432's view shows it leaving through a window and landing outside on the windowsill. As it turns back towards the window, it shows the subject, still standing and shouting, telling SCP-3774-2432 to leave. After approximately six minutes, the subject gets back into his bed and turns off his lamp. SCP-3774-2432: God dammit… God, why did I have to be so creepy? Why did I have to just screw it up this fast? SCP-3774-2432 is silent for approximately four seconds. SCP-3774-2432: I just wanted to get to know him… The subject apparently falls asleep one hour later. At this time, SCP-3774-2432 re-enters the building and lands on the night stand, facing the subject. SCP-3774-2432: SCP-3774-2432 speaks aloud in a hushed tone. I'll try harder next time. I'm sorry. SCP-3774-2432's camera view shows it flying up towards the subject's bookshelf and landing, then turning to face the subject once again. Extraneous footage expunged. <Begin Video Log 3774-04> SCP-3774-2432's camera view shows the subject entering their house through the front door. SCP-3774-2432 is apparently on a light fixture. SCP-3774-2432: H… Hi again! Subject: What?! Subject looks visibly distressed. SCP-3774-2432: No, don't worry! It's just me! Subject: Who? Subject pauses for three seconds. Wait, no no no no no, you were supposed to leave me alone! I got nothing worth spying on! I'm a janitor at an elementary school! I got nothing! SCP-3774-2432: You're a janitor? You help people keep things clean? Subject: Yes! Just a janitor! Not a shady janitor that works at some sort of spooky government organization, just a normal-ass janitor! SCP-3774-2432: I heard you, I heard you. That's really kind of you, actually! At least, I think so. Being helpful to all of those kids and teachers and such. Subject: Wha— um… Thank you… Wait, you still need to get out of my house! SCP-3774-2432: I'm… God, I guess I need to say it out loud now, don't I? Jeez my heart is pounding so fast, um… Subject: What are you going on about? SCP-3774-2432: I'm… not here to spy on you… I just really want to get… to… SCP-3774-2432 pauses for three seconds. I really want to get to know you, okay?! Silence for five seconds. SCP-3774-2432: God, I knew that would sound weird, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll just leave, you're right. Subject: Wait, you just wanted to get to know me? SCP-3774-2432: Yeah… Subject: But… you work for some big government, don't you? Couldn't you just look me up? Why go through all this song and dance? SCP-3774-2432: Because I'm not supposed to be getting to know you. I'm supposed to be finding some other guy, but… I just really wanted to get to know you a little better. Subject: You wanted to get to know me better? Me? You realize who you're talking to, right? SCP-3774-2432: I mean, that's what I want to find out, really. Subject: Uh… hm… Subject pauses for five seconds. Alright. Fine. But you have to let me get to know you, too. You know where my house is, just… I don't know, come here in person, let me see you face to face. SCP-3774-2432: NO! I mean… no. Not yet. I'm too embarrassed. Subject: Christ, okay! Could you at least tell me your name? SCP-3774-2432: I… I haven't got a name. I was just called 2432 all my life. Subject: Oh great, the kind of shady organization that raises spies as kids and doesn't give them a real life. Wonderful. Well, what do you WANT to be called, then? Because I don't intend to call you 2432. SCP-3774-2432: Um… I don't know. What's a good name? Subject: Christ, you're making me choose for you? Hm… Well, you sound a lot like Leslie Caron. How does Leslie sound? Or Les? SCP-3774-2432: Who's Leslie Caron? Subject: She's an actress. She's older now, but in her hey-day, MAN was she a catch. Starred in "An American In Paris". One of my favorite movies, let me tell you. SCP-3774-2432: Oh, okay! Leslie sounds nice then! Subject: Alright, now we're getting somewhere. Nice to meet you, Leslie. I'm Merle. SCP-3774-2432: Nice to meet you too, Merle. Extraneous footage expunged. <Begin Video Log 3774-14> SCP-3774-2432's camera view shows the subject eating a microwaved dinner while watching the 2012 film adaptation of "Les Miserables". The subject is sitting on a reclining chair in what appears to be his living room. SCP-3774-2432's view is apparently on the arm rest on a separate reclining chair. Subject: Now, I don't know what you can see right now, but you'd better pay close attention to this part. This part with Eponine always makes me tear up a little, and I expect you to tear up here, too. SCP-3774-2432: Okay! SCP-3774-2432's camera view changes to exclusively the television screen the film is playing on. The camera shows Eponine3 singing to Marius4 as she dies from a gunshot wound. What appears to be crying is heard from the subject. At this point, SCP-3774-2432's camera views changes back to the subject to visually see him crying. SCP-3774-2432: That was beautiful. Subject: Yeah. Subject inhales sharply. Yeah, it was. SCP-3774-2432: She loved him so much despite him being in love with another, and she still put her life on the line just to keep him safe. Just to keep him happy. It's truly beautiful. Subject: I know. Silence between the subject and SCP-3774-2432 for three minutes while the film continues to play. SCP-3774-2432: Merle? Subject: Yeah, Les? SCP-3774-2432: Has anyone ever cared about you like that before? Subject: What? I… I don't know. I would hope so. I… I really just don't know. I haven't been in many successful relationships so I can't say that for sure, but I would hope at some point at least one of them might have cared about me that way. SCP-3774-2432: I'm sorry, Merle. Subject: Nah… Nah, it's fine. We don't all need to be in… in relationships or happy marriages to live a good, full life. I mean… it'd be nice… but you don't need to. I've gone along just fine without one. SCP-3774-2432: Oh… I guess that's true. I've never been in a relationship either, and I'm apparently doing pretty well. I mean, I've met you, and you've made me the happiest I've ever been. Subject: Subject coughs. Excuse me? SCP-3774-2432: Um… nothing. Nevermind. Subject: What did you mean by that? That I've made you the happiest you've ever been? SCP-3774-2432: It's… Look, I've only known you for a week and a half, but you make me really happy. I love watching movies with you, I love how you just care about the kids you work with, I love just everything about you. But I know that you can't love anything about me back because if you did, then… it wouldn't last. Silence for approximately two minutes. Subject then stands up and turns off the television. Subject: You mean a lot to me too, Les. SCP-3774-2432: You don't have to say that to make me feel better. Subject: I'm not. I haven't even seen your face and I know that you're an incredibly lovely, kind, caring and empathetic person. You choose to be joyful when I want to be sad or upset about something. You always find the goodness in people who see only the worst in themselves. These last few days have been just the best few days I've had in a long time. SCP-3774-2432: You really mean it? Subject: I wouldn't be saying it if I didn't. SCP-3774-2432: SCP-3774-2432 simulates sniffing. Thank you, Merle. Subject: Are you crying? SCP-3774-2432: SCP-3774-2432 simulates laughter. Shut up, it's an emotional moment. Subject: Subject laughs. You're right, you're right. Silence for seven seconds. SCP-3774-2432: So… What does this mean for us? Subject: What do you want it to mean? SCP-3774-2432: Well… I'd like it to mean that we might have one of those useless happy relationships that you mentioned. Subject: That sounds nice. A perfectly useless, happy, wonderful relationship. Extraneous footage expunged. <Begin Video Log 3774-23> SCP-3774-2432's camera view shows the subject pacing in his bedroom. SCP-3774-2432's camera view is from the subject's bookshelf. Subject: Why do you still refuse to show me what you look like? SCP-3774-2432: Because you would hate me if you knew what I looked like! Subject: I don't judge relationships on looks, Les. I don't care if you look like Richard fucking Nixon, I'd still love you for who you are. Could you please just show me something? Come to my house and let me actually physically see you, okay? Or don't, just mail me a picture of what you look like. I just want to know! SCP-3774-2432: But… But why? If looks don't matter, why do you need to see me? Subject: Because I know what catfishing is. Maybe some kid is pulling some sort of prank on me and this whole time my reactions have just been recorded for some prank blog. 'Man falls in love with little boy, watch his face when he finds out!' That'd be the headline. SCP-3774-2432: If I were catfishing you, I wouldn't have dedicated so much of my life to just being with you. Subject: Dedicated so much of your life? We've known each other for three weeks! SCP-3774-2432: And I took two weeks to find you, and I only live for one more after this! Subject: What the fuck? What is that supposed to mean? SCP-3774-2432: It means… it means… Subject: What the fuck kind of organization do you work for? Are you some sort of android? Have I been talking to an AI this whole time? SCP-3774-2432: No! No, not… not an android. Subject: Then what? Who are you? WHAT are you? SCP-3774-2432: I'm… Silence for five seconds. SCP-3774-2432: I'll be right there. Subject: Fine. I'll be waiting. SCP-3774-2432: You won't have to wait long. SCP-3774-2432's camera view shows it flying from the bookshelf and landing on the subject's bed. SCP-3774-2432: I'm on your bed. Be careful. I'm small. Subject: Wait, what? Subject turns around, looking at the bed. Subject: Where are you? SCP-3774-2432: I'm… I'm the mosquito. Subject: The what? Subject continues searching the bed until it looks directly at SCP-3774-2432. Subject: Oh, ha ha. Way to make me feel even worse. SCP-3774-2432: I'm not lying. Subject: You said you were using drones, this is probably just one of those drones, right? You're just trying to trick me? SCP-3774-2432: I'm not trying to trick you! I'm being honest! I'm just a mosquito! I lied about the drones part because I thought it would be more believable than a mosquito that could talk! Subject: Well, you're right. Drones ARE more believable than a mosquito that talks. Prove to me that you're the mosquito. SCP-3774-2432: What do you mean? Subject: I don't know, do something that only a mosquito could do! Bite me, suck some blood out or something! SCP-3774-2432: Um, okay. If you want. SCP-3774-2432's camera view shows it flying towards the subject and landing on his shoulder. It then extends its proboscis and proceeds to bite the subject, consuming some of his blood. SCP-3774-2432: I hope this helps prove something. I don't know what, though. Subject: I… I don't know what it proves either, but… If you really are a mosquito… SCP-3774-2432: I AM a mosquito! Subject: Let me finish, please. SCP-3774-2432: Sorry. Subject: If you really are a mosquito… It still doesn't matter to me. If this is what you are, well, I made a commitment to you. You're still the lovely, kind, caring person that I've been talking to and watching movies with and thinking about while at work. I just have to re-adjust a few fantasies I have about us getting married and having kids in order to accommodate the fact that you're a mosquito. SCP-3774-2432: You're okay with this? With me? Subject: I really did mean it when I said looks didn't matter. Except I did lie about the Richard Nixon part, if you ended up being Richard Nixon that might make things a little weird. SCP-3774-2432: SCP-3774-2432 simulates laughter. That's… That's just so great! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! I'd kiss you if I could but that'd probably just make you itchy! Subject: Subject laughs. That's true! But… why not? You don't have anything to hide anymore, go ahead and kiss me. SCP-3774-2432: Well, okay! SCP-3774-2432 extends its proboscis and bites the subject a second time, consuming more blood.

SCP-3774-2432: Know… Subject: Leslie, can you please just tell me something about where you are? What was the last place that you remembered flying to? SCP-3774-2432: Living… room… Subject: Living room, living room, living room… There you are! The sound of the subject's footsteps become louder. Subject: God, please don't go like this. Please just… please just stay with me? One more day? I've never loved anyone as hard or as fast as I have with you.

Subject: Okay. I'll do it. I'll have your kids. I'll have OUR kids. SCP-3774-2432: Thank… you… Subject: I love you, Leslie. SCP-3774-2432: I… love… you… too… Extraneous footage redacted. The subject was recovered on September 28th, ████, three days after the events recorded on Video Log 3774-30, with a large mass growing out of his thigh. When surgically removed, it was discovered to be four living human fetuses, which will henceforth be designated instances of SCP-3774-A. Skin samples taken from each instance of SCP-3774-A discovered that while they appear entirely human and are genetically the subject's children, 50% of their genetic makeup is identical to that of SCP-3774 instances. Over the course of seven more days, the instances of SCP-3774-A became the biological equivalent of a human infant. Further observations have shown that the rapid aging has ceased since reaching this stage. This is the only confirmed instance of an instance of SCP-3774 successfully mating with a human subject. The subject has been administered a dosage of Class-C Amnestics and given significantly altered memories in regards to his experiences with SCP-3774-24325 along with an entirely new identity. In addition, in order to monitor the natural growth of the SCP-3774-A instances, he and the four instances have been moved to a Foundation-approved neighborhood in ██████████, West Virginia, where they will be monitored discreetly.

Description: SCP-3775 is a large (4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms) house situated on a mountaintop near Tazewell, Virginia. It has two aboveground stories, a fully-furnished basement, second-floor balconies at the front and back, a two-car garage, and an in-ground swimming pool in the backyard. On 06-13-1976, multiple crimes, injuries, and deaths occurred during a house party at SCP-3775. Each year, between 21:14 and 2:45 on the anniversary of this event, the lights within SCP-3775 will turn on and loud rock music will emanate from within. No further anomalous activity will occur unless someone enters the house during this period. This has only been attempted once. Addendum 1: Exploration SCP-3775's anomalous behavior was first observed in 1977. A remotely-controlled vehicle equipped with a camera was sent inside, but its presence did not trigger any additional activity. As such, this exploration revealed only one piece of information that the police investigation did not: the sound system in the living room (from which the loud music originated) was of the "Syncope Symphony" brand. When questioned, the owners of the house were not able to recall the circumstances of its purchase. During the 1978 activation, D-2751 was sent inside to investigate. He was equipped with a body camera and a noise-canceling headset that would both protect his hearing and allow him to communicate with control. Security officers Marvin and Ortega were positioned in front of and behind the house, respectively, to facilitate quick extraction if D-2751 was in danger. <begin log> D-2751: Sounds like a hell of a party in there. Control: Is your hearing protection functioning properly? D-2751: [loudly] What? Control: Is your hearing protection functioning properly? D-2751 sighs D-2751: [at normal volume] Yeah. Control: Enter the house. D-2751: Here goes. D-2751 opens the door. Without its muffling effects, the music is now recognizable as Kiss's "Rock and Roll All Nite". This song continues on loop for the remainder of the exploration. The house remains mostly as it was left in 1976. Garbage, debris, and clothing is scattered across the floor throughout. D-2751: Yep, definitely a hell of a party. Anywhere specific you want me to go, or…? Control: You can start with the living room. D-2751 continues into a hallway. Entrances to a living room and dining room lie to his left. To his right, the hallway passes two flights of stairs - one going up, the other down - and several doors before terminating an exterior door. Another branch leads to the back door. Turning left, D-2751 enters the living room. The upholstery is badly stained, and the glass coffee table has been shattered. The music is almost too loud for control to hear D-2751. Control: Can you turn off the music? D-2751 approaches the sound system, a multi-track stereo flanked by two large speakers. He presses the power button on the stereo, and the music stops. D-2751: Hey, do you hear th- The stereo abruptly turns back on, playing more loudly than before. D-2751 is startled. Control: Hear what? D-2751: I thought I heard voices. Downstairs, maybe. Here, let me- Carefully, D-2751 turns the volume knob, but it has no discernible effect on the music. D-2751: Uh, do you think unplugging this thing would make any difference? Control: Probably not. The house shouldn't even have electricity. D-2751 looks up at the chandelier on the ceiling. A pink bra dangles from it. D-2751: Huh. Control: See if you can find the source of the voices. D-2751: Uh, sure. D-2751 walks towards the hall, pauses, and sidetracks into the kitchen instead. A pile of empty pizza boxes rots on the counter, and the toppled trashcan is overflowing with more food debris. The sink is filled with broken plates and glasses. No insects or other vermin are present. Control: What are you doing? D-2751 retrieves a large knife from the countertop knife block. D-2751: Just taking some precautions. Now armed, he proceeds quickly through the dining room and back into the hall. A beer pong game has been set up on the dining room table, and shards of antique china crunch underfoot. After exiting the dining room, he descends the stairs. They bring him to another hallway, which turns around a corner to his left and ends at two doors to his right. The voices are coming from behind one of these doors, but their words are not clearly distinguishable. D-2751 takes a deep breath and swiftly opens the door. The lights are off in the room beyond, but it is still faintly illuminated by the light from a large CRT front-projection television. The TV is playing a movie1 at high volume, apparently the source of the voices. Seeing this, D-2751 relaxes. He flips the light switch beside the door, revealing various pieces of comfortable furniture and speakers along the walls. Popcorn, crumbs, and plastic wrappers litter the floor. D-2751: False alarm, guys. Just a movie. Movie: …picture in the yearbook so everyone can see we looked like idiots. Besides, it's the last year. D-2751: Don't think I've seen this one. Control: Continue exploring the basement, since you're down there. D-2751: You got it, boss. After emerging from the movie room, D-2751 opens the other door in the hallway, revealing a closet filled with dusty toys and board games. D-2751 heads in the other direction and rounds the corner, finding more doors. The first, on his left, is open. Beyond it is a large game room containing air hockey, foosball, and billiards tables. D-2751: [whistles softly] This guy was L-I-V-I-N. He circles the room, examining the classic movie posters that decorate the walls. D-2751: You know, I never got to go to any parties like this in school. None of my friends were rich enough for this shit. Figured I'd get to in college, but…well, you know. Idly, he picks up the eight ball and tosses it into the air a few times. D-2751: It's funny, that's one of the things that really bugged me in the big house, that I'd never gotten a chance to go to one of those crazy parties like you see in the movies. But I can party as much as I want once you guys let me out, right? Control: Please continue the exploration. D-2751: Yeah, yeah. He returns the eight ball to its place and continues down the hall. The other two doors are locked, and the lights inside these rooms2 seem to be off. D-2751: Want me to break in? Control: Not right now. Head back upstairs. D-2751: You got it. D-2751 heads back down the hallway. He glances into the home theater as he passes, noticing that the lights have turned off again. It also appears that the blue and green CRTs have failed, leaving the image dark red and indistinct. Once upstairs, D-2751 investigates the interior doors in the hallway. One leads to the two-car garage, currently empty, and the other to a large storage room. He does not enter either. The door to one of the upstairs bedrooms slams shut forcefully enough to be heard over the music. The lights flicker. Control: Go see what that was. D-2751: Uh, are you sure? Control: Yes. Still holding the knife, D-2751 ascends the stairs. D-2756: You know, this place seems kind of familiar. On the second floor, a hallway wraps around the stairs and runs down the center of the house. Five doors open from it, and two branches lead to sliding glass doors that connect to the front and rear balconies. As D-2756 reaches the top of the stairs, one of these doors slides open of its own accord. A strong breeze blows in. D-2756 steps carefully onto the rear balcony, which runs the length of the house and overlooks the swimming pool. He stands at the railing and looks down at the drained pool. D-2776: [quietly] You know, I bet I could jump to the pool from here. Control: Do not do that! D-2776: Do what? Control Jump off the balcony! D-2776: Why the hell would I do that? Control: You were just talking about it. D-2776: What? No I wasn't! Control: Yes, you…ah, never mind. Just go check out that bedroom. D-2776 steps inside and closes the balcony door. He continues down the hall, heading for the closed bedroom door at the end. After almost a minute of walking, D-2776 has only covered about five feet. He stops beside the door to a large bathroom. D-2776: What the hell? Control: You might be in some kind of spatial distortion. You're still covering ground, though, so just keep going. D-2776 looks down the hall again, then back at the stairs. He takes two steps towards the stairs and, upon reaching them in the expected time, sighs with relief. Then he continues trying to traverse the hallway. Along the way, he passes three other bedrooms. Each is in disarray, with beside lamps knocked over, sheets twisted or flung aside, and clothing littering the floor. After fourteen minutes of continuous walking, D-2976 reaches the closed door. His gait has become noticeably unsteady. Control: 2976, are you okay? D-2976: Yeah, I- He belches lightly. D-2976: Uh, 'scuse me. I, uh. I feel kinda tipsy. Control: Are you able to continue? D-2976: Pff, yeah. I already made it to the door. Control: Try to open it. D-2976: Well, Hell, don't you think I should knock first? [he hiccups] Control: Sure. D-2976 knocks on the door, to no discernible response. He tries the doorknob, but the door is locked. Control: Try listening at the door. D-2976 places the headset around his neck and puts his ear against the door. D-2976: Hey…what the fuck? Hey! He tries the knob again, and pounds aggressively on the door. D-2976: [shouting] Hey! What are you doing? D-2976 continues to rattle the doorknob, but it still won't turn. His places his ear against the door again. Control: What's happening? D-2976 does not seem to hear control. He crouches down to peer through the keyhole. [Video and audio of the next 13 seconds are obscured by static. Control did not report any disruption at the time.] D-1976 screams and falls backwards. He drops the knife and crawls back down the hall on his hands and knees. D-1976: Nononono that wasn't me I didn't do that it wasn't- Using the wall to support himself, D-1976 struggles to his feet. He stumbles into the bathroom near the stairs and falls to his knees in front of the toilet. He frantically raises the lid, revealing a bowl that is already almost overflowing with fresh vomit. D-1976 lurches toward the bathtub and pukes into it instead. D-1976 sits back against the wall opposite the toilet. He groans nauseously and attempts to catch his breath. Behind the house, officer Ortega reports that a thick substance is dripping from the end of the diving board. He does not investigate. Control: D-1976, can you hear me? D-1976 seems to remember the headset, and puts it back on. D-1976: Huh? Control: What happened? D-1976: [considerably slurred] You know what fucking happened. Is this some kind of trick? Control: I don't know what you're talking about. What did you see behind the- D-1976: Fuck this. D-1976 tears off the headset and flings it into the shower. For this reason, all remaining audio from the headset consists of muffled music. Slowly, D-1976 staggers to his feet. He stumbles out of the bathroom and towards the stairs. On the third step, he trips and falls the rest of the way down. D-1976 lies stunned or unconscious at the bottom of the stairs for almost a minute. During this time, the music grows continuously louder and the lights take on an increasingly yellow tint. Ortega reports that the rate of dripping from the diving board has increased. Smoky haze begins to fill the house. The record skips, repeating the chorus over and over again. An unrecognizable teenager walks into view of the body camera. It is standing directly in front of the glass back door but is not visible from outside the house. The teenager gazes disinterestedly down at D-1976. After a few seconds, it raises a red plastic cup and pours the contents on him. D-1976 wakes up. The teenager wanders out of the body camera's view and is not seen again. D-1976 climbs back to his feet. He wobbles to the front door and tries to open it, but it seems to be stuck. He starts pounding on it and shouting for help. Officer Marvin requests permission to extract the subject, which is denied by control. Ortega sees the back door shatter. D-1976 hears the sound and moves towards it. The smoke inside is now thick enough to significantly impede vision, but none of it escapes through the shattered door. D-1976 exits the house and staggers along the pool deck, wiping his eyes and coughing loudly. Seemingly unintentionally, he stumbles out onto the diving board. He stops at the very end of the board and looks down. The swimming pool, which was drained after the house's abandonment, is twelve feet deep beneath the diving board. It currently holds only a few inches of stagnant rainwater, which has been turned red by the substance dripping from the board. It seems unnaturally bright in the pool-bottom lights. D-1976 looks up at officer Ortega. There is something wrong with his face. His voice, no longer slurred, can be clearly heard despite the distance and the overwhelming volume of the music. D-1976: Great party, isn't it? D-1976's knees buckle. The back of his head collides with the diving board as he falls, landing facedown in the bloody water twelve feet below. All activity in the house abruptly ceases. <end log> Addendum 2: Post-Analysis The blood from the swimming pool was of the same type as D-1976's. D-1976 was dead when the guards retrieved him. Cause of death was found to be drowning. His blood alcohol content was 0%. D-1976's records state that, prior to his recruitment as a Class D personnel, he had been sentenced to life imprisonment for crimes committed during the 1976 house party at SCP-3775. Testing him with the object was therefore a breach of cross-contamination protocols. It is not clear why this was permitted, or why personnel assigned to SCP-3775 were unaware of the connection. It is likewise unclear how D-1976 failed to recognize his own home. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3776 | euclid | Apparel related to SCP-3776, recovered from a thrift store in Charleston, WV. Item #: SCP-3776 Special Containment Procedures: Thrift stores, garage sales, and other secondhand markets in Appalachia are to be consistently monitored by Foundation agents for signs of SCP-3776 activity. Should any artifacts related to the anomaly be discovered, they are to be seized and cataloged at Site-77. Subjects affected by SCP-3776 have been found to be resistant to amnestic treatments. As such, they are to be placed within an organization such as the Witness Protection Program and removed from the region. Once removed, memories and desires connected to SCP-3776 will fade over time. Description: SCP-3776 designates an anomalous phenomenon affecting much of the Appalachian region of the United States. All activity centers around an as-of-yet undiscovered recreational facility, "Camp Nimrod", which all recovered items indicate may have existed in the mid-1970's. Objects with iconography or other relation to Camp Nimrod, such as shirts, banners or craft projects will manifest in retail outlets selling secondhand clothing or items. Analysis of CCTV footage shows that these objects do not come into the stores from the outside and only appear once the merchandise has become available to purchase. Always placed in obscure locations, such as the bottoms of bins, it can take months or years for the items to be discovered. Physical contact with these objects causes vivid and detailed memories to manifest within the conscious thoughts of affected subjects; these memories center on time spent as an adolescent at a summer camp called "Camp Nimrod". Subjects describes the camp as having wooden cabins and being placed at the edge of a lake with a creek running to it, along with various camping activities such as tubing, archery, crafts and general roughhousing in the wilderness. Attempting to inquire about specific details such as location and the length of time camp lasted will be met with an apathetic or hostile response. Once a subject has been affected, a sealed cardboard container will appear in the attic of the last building where the subject's biological parents lived independently. If an individual other than the subject opens the box it will only contain ashes and a significant number of living Periplaneta americana (palmetto bugs). Should the subject open the box, it will contain numerous memorabilia related to their supposed Camp Nimrod experience. Beads, apparel, and other trinkets are usually found, along with various forms of media. Photographs are the most common format in all recorded cases. Depending on the individual's age there may also be videotape, film reels, and music sheets, along with sketches done in their hand. All of these feature the subject in some fashion. A yearbook-style group photo is present in most cases. These will all show signs of age- and exposure-related degradation. Elucidating the location of SCP-3776 through these objects has not proved to be viable. Any identifying information such as street signs, vehicle license plate numbers, or migratory wildlife will have been lost through apparently natural aging and decay. All letters have had the recipient's address faded past legibility. However there will always be enough information for the subject to reach out and contact individuals they remember attending SCP-3776 with. In almost every case these individuals will be geographically close to the subject. All have been found to have existing knowledge of SCP-3776. This outreach is the second most common vector for spreading SCP-3776's effect. Many of the SCP-3776 subjects are impoverished, with some being addicted to opiates or alcohol. Research has ruled out any relation to SCP-3776's effect, as it is not universal among all affected individuals. Should two subjects afflicted by SCP-3776 begin to converse, their mental faculties will degrade abruptly as the conversation progresses. It has been found that multiple conversations of any length result in the brain entering the beginning stages of dementia. The corresponding bodily degradation will not be acknowledged by these subjects on their own; if questioned, they will attribute it to "old wounds from camp". Continuing to seek out information and persons related to SCP-3776 will accelerate this effect. Many subjects will perish either from their weakened condition making them vulnerable to illness, organ failure in the brain, early-onset dementia, and a few cases of disappearing into the wilderness looking for Camp Nimrod. Foundation attempts to locate a physical location corresponding with the camp have not been successful. Although several abandoned campgrounds have been discovered, none of these were recognized by the SCP-3776 subjects. Addendum: On 09/18/1999, Foundation personnel intercepted reports of an individual who claimed to have been a camp counselor at Camp Nimrod. After seizing and altering the public records which had alerted them, Agent Ekblad was dispatched to an abandoned grocery store in Hurricane, WV, where the individual was identified and interviewed. Interviewed: █████ ████, US citizen and West Virginia resident. Interviewer: Agent Ekblad, of Mobile Task Force Psi-7. Foreword: Interview took place in an abandoned grocery store, which public records indicate was owned and operated by █████ ████ until 1990. It is believed the subject had been living inside the building since its closure. Subject was discovered bagging and un-bagging expired canned food and rotten fruit into a paper bag, and continued this activity throughout the interview. <Begin Log> Agent Ekblad: Hello? Can you hear me? The door was open, and I let myself in. █████ ████: inaudible mumbling Agent Ekblad: Excuse me? My name is Calvin, I'm with the state. Your living conditions, frankly, are… appalling. Do you understand what I'm saying? I want to help you, we just need you to answer some questions first. █████ ████: Yes, yes, inaudible. We've got to get out of this place. It's not right. Agent Ekblad: Do you want to leave? We could speak outside… █████ ████: But, it's… we're here. I'm just packing this up for you. Can I help you with anything else? Agent Ekblad: Oh, but… mister, I don't need that bagged. I have my own. I just want to talk. █████ ████: Can't you help me? We've got to drop it — her — I've got to drop her off. Agent Ekblad: Who are you talking about? █████ ████: To go to camp… I did it, when I was a young. Oh, when we swam up in the creek. I always thought somebody would drown there. Told stories to the littler things, the littler kids. Little ones. We always made them… inaudible. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm trying. Agent Ekblad: Are you referring to Camp Nimrod? █████ ████: Oh boy, those were the salad days. So many of them, that's where we started. Camp is like a habit, when you keep going back. A lot of kids started… inaudible… started using it. Like a camp. They blistered and wilted in the sun. Agent Ekblad: Can you remember who any of those kids were? Do you know their names? █████ ████: Are you for… are you kidding me? What are we doing here? Why am I doing here? There's so much to… paper or plastic, sir? Agent Ekblad: You were mentioning a girl earlier. Do you know her name? █████ ████: Oh! Subject knocks bag over, sending cans spilling onto the ground. Several pop open, spilling rotten contents across the floor, which emit a strong odor. Summer is over! We've got to… inaudible, subject slumps over onto table. Agent Ekblad: Hey, stay with me here. Who are you talking about? █████ ████: Summer is over… my… my little girl, I've got to get here. School is starting soon. It's our… bicep… ten… annual. She's going to make so many friends. Summer is over. Summer is over. Summer is over. Summer is over. Subject repeated this until Agent Ekblad retreated from the building. <End Log> Closing Statement: Multiple broken and empty picture frames were found in a room on the building's second floor, along with two soiled cushions and a stained pink ribbon. Other than this, there was no evidence of anyone inhabiting the building other than the interviewed subject. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3776" by Anonymous, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3777 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3777 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3777 is to be confined within Armed Containment Area-67 at all times. Point Ω should not be approached in order to ensure that SCP-3777 remains in Phase α at all times. Should SCP-3777 deviate from its present behavior and attempt to breach the containment perimeter, the Containment Task Force stationed at Area-67 is to immobilize and/or neutralize SCP-3777. Description: SCP-3777 is a mobile humanoid automaton approximately 50 m in height, which is mostly composed of clay and brass machine parts, some etched with legible inscriptions1. Embedded within SCP-3777 are scraps of parchment upon which the Tetragrammaton2 is written. SCP-3777 occupies a ruin north of Ephesus, Turkey, which is believed to have been a 1st century CE Jewish synagogue. SCP-3777 does not display any signs of sapience, but behaves in accordance with a four-phase routine: During Phase α, SCP-3777 behaves passively, standing at the center of the ruin which it occupies (henceforth designated Point Ω). During Phase β, SCP-3777 behaves territorially, patrolling in a counterclockwise circle around Point Ω. SCP-3777 will aggressively prevent individuals from approaching Point Ω by attempting to crush such individuals with its feet, but it will not pursue those who are fleeing from the ruin. SCP-3777 will transition from Phase α to Phase β when an individual approaches within 3 m of Point Ω. During Phase γ, SCP-3777 behaves passively, by approaching Point Ω and repeatedly punching directly ahead. Foundation researchers believe that this behavior is intended to damage the ruin, but it is ineffective in doing so due to the ruin's low height and the positioning of SCP-3777's arms. SCP-3777 will transition from Phase β to Phase γ after an hour has elapsed since entering Phase β. During Phase δ, SCP-3777 behaves erratically, walking in random directions around and across Point Ω. At times, SCP-3777 will strike itself, although it sustains little damage from this behavior. SCP-3777 will transition from Phase γ to Phase δ after five minutes have elapsed since entering Phase γ. After nine hours have elapsed since entering Phase δ, SCP-3777 will return to Phase α. It is believed by Foundation historians that SCP-3777 was unintentionally created as the result of a localized anomalous conflict between Jewish and Mekhanite3 residents of Ephesus during the 1st century CE. Two contemporary sources provide accounts of the creation of SCP-3777: the unabridged Antiquities of the Jews by Josephus4, and the Mekhanite Book of Apostates5. These sources are reproduced below. Accessing "Antiquities of the Jews, Unabridged" by Josephus (Department of Antiquities: 1911.87.43)… Now in those days the worshipers of Mekhane, who is called the Broken God by some, were strongly persecuting the Jews in Ephesus. In all Ephesus the hand of the Mekhanites was against the Jews, and the Jews of Ephesus dared not appear in the public places lest they suffer the Mekhanites' wrath. Now there was a wise teacher of the Jews named Enoch, who saw the plight of his people, and was greatly displeased. In his displeasure he read from the Book of Creation6, and was inspired. Writing the holy name of the Most High, he made a golem—a man of clay—and bade it protect the synagogue. (Surely the Jewish people exceed even the Mekhanites in such arts!) Indeed, the golem repulsed the Mekhanites, but they were a stubborn people, and would not relent. Thus the Mekhanites built many constructs—men of brass—and bade them attack the synagogue. At first, the golem was overwhelmed, and the Jews of Ephesus struggled to hold the synagogue, but Enoch was not deterred. Ordering all the scrolls of the synagogue to be brought to him, he cut them apart, wrote the holy name of the Most High a thousand times more, and bade the golem to gather clay from nearby. With this clay Enoch formed another golem, and bade this new golem to do the same as the first. In this manner Enoch then formed 999 more golems to protect the synagogue. Now the Mekhanites were repulsed once more, but the chief builder among them—a man named Demetrius7, a silversmith—called upon the Mekhanites of all Anatolia and Attica, and the men of brass descended upon Ephesus in the tens of thousands. And so the men of clay and the men of brass fought, and neither side gained the upper hand in battle. Now on the fifth day of the melee there was a great storm, and torrential rain fell upon the area. The men of clay, still freshly molded, became nothing more than writhing lumps of clay, while the men of brass rusted and became immobile. When the storm had passed, all the Jews and Mekhanites of Ephesus saw that there were no more men of clay or brass, but a colossus of clay and brass. This colossus wreaked such havoc throughout all Ephesus that not even the legions of the emperor could put an end to it. Thus Ephesus was evacuated, and the Jews and Mekhanites of Ephesus were harshly proscribed. Accessing "Book of Apostates" by Demetrius of Ephesus (Department of Antiquities: 1978.63.47)… 98 An injunction of Demetrius, chief builder in Ephesus. 2 Surely damnation shall soon come for the Hypsistarians8, 3 those fools who cower before their idol Zeus Sabazios9! 4 How feckless must you be, to turn from MEKHANE's light, 5 because you have been defeated by crude men of clay? 6 Behold, see how their creation has turned against them! 7 The responsibility for Ephesus's ruin is theirs, not ours, 8 for we made men of brass with MEKHANE's knowledge, 9 and they made men of clay with the flesh's ignorance. 10 Do they not put faith in acts of sacrifice and mutilation? 11 Surely this is an hour to be firm, yet I will offer mercy, 12 for Sophia has departed from us, and led many astray. 13 Apostates, there will be but one chance for repentance. 14 MEKHANE's righteous wrath shall pause but never cease! Footnotes 1. Sample inscriptions (translated from Koine Greek) include: "Gift of the workshop in Kythera, to our brothers in Ephesus" "Triumph over the circumcision" "Screw the whore Sophia" "All Colossae praises Demetrius, hammer of the Hebrews" "Hear, O Anatolia, God is broken, and MEKHANE is God" For additional inscriptions, consult the 2017 SCP-3777 Archeological Report (Department of Antiquities: 2017.7.3). 2.

SCP-3778 | keter | Item #: SCP-3778 Threat Level: Red 🔴 Special Containment Procedures: A single instance of SCP-3778 is to be kept in a Standard Botanical Containment Unit in Site-103. Staff are not allowed to consume any instances of SCP-3778-1, due to the risk that instances of SCP-3778-1 may fall into the possession of an instance of SCP-3778-A. Absolutely no instances of Didelphis virginiana (the Virginia Opossum) are to be allowed in the vicinity of Site-103, regardless of whether they are an instance of SCP-3778-A or not. Any wild or otherwise uncontained instances of SCP-3778 are to be exterminated. Coordination with the UIU and GOC in targeting and eliminating the spread of SCP-3778 is ongoing. Current containment protocol regarding instances of SCP-3778-A is the establishment and continued maintenance of diplomatic ties with the five tribal authorities of SCP-3778-A. Various treaties between the Five Tribes of SCP-3778-A and the Foundation include the following stipulations on SCP-3778-A: Instances of SCP-3778-A may not interact or communicate with any humans, with the exception of authorized Foundation liaisons. The tribes of SCP-3778-A will avoid human settlements as much as possible, with the exception of ██████████, Louisiana, due to reasons of cultural significance. Instances of SCP-3778-A will not attempt to cross the border fence separating the United States and Mexico, or attempt to gain entry into Latin America through any means. Cultivation of SCP-3778, either by SCP-3778-A or humans, is not allowed. In return for their compliance with these demands, the Five Tribes of SCP-3778-A expect that the Foundation adhere to the following: The Foundation is to not actively detain any instances of SCP-3778-A, unless they pose an active threat to the Foundation or the Five Tribes, or are voluntarily participating in the Methuselah Project. The Foundation is to sway the domestic policy of the United States to preserve the Gulf Coast against the effects of sea level rise and other forms of climate change, as well as facilitate the creation of additional national parks. The Foundation is to deploy positive memetic devices on the internet to bolster the acceptance of the Virginia Opossum among the general population, and to discourage the concept of the Virginia Opossum being a form of vermin. The Foundation must focus significant resources on the Methuselah Project, which involves the extension of the lifespan of the Virginia Opossum. Details on the projected timeline of the Methuselah Project can be found in Addendum 3778-MPT. The Foundation must also stymie the technological progress of SCP-3778-A for as long as possible, while still maintaining positive relations. For this reason, all interference with the progress of SCP-3778-A must be conducted via clandestine operations. Stages of the Methuselah Project must not be completed ahead of schedule. Description: SCP-3778 is an anomalous type of Vitis Vinifera, or Common Grapevine. Like any other grapevine, SCP-3778 produces grapes (henceforth referred to as SCP-3778-1). While these grapes do not lead to any changes when ingested by humans, their anomalous properties manifest when they are consumed by any member of the genus Didelphis, causing rapid neural restructuring and development. Through ingestion of SCP-3778-1, any opossum can reach sapience. Opossums that have reached sapience through SCP-3778-1 are henceforth referred to as SCP-3778-A. SCP-3778, SCP-3778-1, and SCP-3778-A are all genetically and physically identical to their non-anomalous counterparts, making detection of these anomalies difficult. Upon reaching sapience, SCP-3778-A instances will attempt to enlighten their non-sapient counterparts. While opossums do not normally exhibit social behavior, instances of SCP-3778-A seem to attract other members of their species to them. This attraction appears to extend out ██km, though vocalization, sight, pheromones, and █████████ seem to aid the process. Once a sufficient congregation size has been reached, SCP-3778-A will provide SCP-3778-1 to the other opossums present, allowing them to also reach sapience, and thus forming more instances of SCP 3778-A. SCP 3778-A can also be created by natural birth between two instances of SCP-3778-A or one SCP-3778-A instance and a non-anomalous opossum. The intelligence of SCP-3778-A is comparable to that of a human, and instances are capable of learning human languages. SCP-3778-A shows special preference for learning and using Cajun, French, Spanish, English, and various forms of Creole, though these preferences are primarily attributable to the region that SCP-3778-A achieved sapience in. Due to the innate differences of biology between humans and opossums (specifically regarding the mouth and throat) SCP-3778-A instances vocalize distinct syntax patterns and accents that are markedly different from any human speech. Efforts to streamline communication between humans and SCP-3778-A are ongoing. As of writing, all instances of SCP-3778-A have coalesced into the aforementioned Five Tribes. See Addendum 3778-5T for details on each tribe. SCP-3778-A possesses a primitive albeit rapidly advancing technological level. SCP-3778-A, as of now, has technology comparable to humanity during the Early Bronze Age. While the Foundation maintains technological superiority, ██ years ago SCP-3778-A was at pre-agricultural levels, indicating a rapid level of advancement. Unchecked, SCP-3778-A may potentially lead to an SK-Class dominance shift scenario. Countermeasures are currently in place to prevent SCP-3778-A from gaining a large enough population1 or from gaining great enough political unity to mount an offensive against Foundation activities. The possibility that SCP-3778-1’s effects will spread from the Virginia Opossum to other members of the Didelphis family cannot be ruled out. As the majority of the opossum population lies in Latin America, coordination between the Foundation, the Mexican government, and various Central American nations have been dedicated to the elimination of suspected instances of SCP-3778. + Show Addendum 3778-MPT. LEVEL 3 CLEARANCE OR HIGHER REQUIRED - ACCESS GRANTED. Hide Addendum 3778-MPT Addendum 3778-MPT: Methuselah Project Proposal Date: 11/04/20██ Goal: The aim of the Methuselah Project is to promote diplomatic relations between SCP-3778-A and the Foundation by aiding not just SCP-3778-A, but all opossums with curing one of their most ancient ailments: their lifespan. Most opossums only live two years in the wild, and up to four in good captivity. The truth is that this is far too short to be able to maintain convenient diplomatic relations. This fact also causes many instances of SCP-3778-A distress, upon learning of their short natural lifespan, and solving this issue would put SCP-3778-A in our debt. To facilitate trust between the opossum race and mankind, we propose that the Foundation begin the Methuselah Project. Through simple genetic engineering and viral therapy, we can increase the lifespan of the Virginia Opossum by over a factor of ten. Timeline: Early 20██: The Methuselah Project will begin. 20██: The necessary genes for life extension will be isolated. 20██: Testing will begin. Testing is to be conducted on volunteering SCP-3778-A participants. 20██: By this time, testing is expected to yield positive results for genetic modification trials. 20██: Isolation period of modified SCP-3778-A will expire. If no long-term health problems are identified, Methuselah Project will move on to the next stage. 20██: Engineering of a suitable delivery method of the genetic modification (SCP-3778-B) will commence. 20██: If suitable delivery method is constructed, begin mass-deployment of SCP-3778-B via [REDACTED] to increase the lifespan of all instances of SCP-3778-A, and non-anomalous Virginia Opossums. + Show Addendum 3778-5T - Hide Addendum 3778-5T The Five Tribes2 is the common name for the various hierarchical organizations that SCP-3778-A has organized itself into. Such polities are geographically based, and are in areas where the non-anomalous Virginia Opossum is also usually found. A map for the territory claimed by the five tribes can be found below. The Five Tribes are as follows: The Great Lakes Clans: Due to the low temperatures that the Great Lakes region reaches during the winter, this is the smallest of the Five Tribes. Until recently, the Great Lakes Clans engaged in conflict with its southern neighbors for food and territory. Upon discovery by the Foundation, all conflict was ordered to cease, and aid by the Foundation to the Great Lakes Clans has raised the standard of living, as well as easing political tensions between the Tribes. Shown in green. Appalachia: Appalachia comprises the eastern coast of the United States, and the Appalachian Mountains. It is one of the larger SCP-3778-A polities, and claims significant territory. Appalachia is also a production powerhouse, as it holds mineral deposits that are vital to SCP-3778-A’s technological development. Appalachia formed after seceding from the Gulf Empire, making it the second recorded SCP-3778-A state to emerge. Shown in pink. The Midwest Association: The Midwest Association occupies the outer reaches of contiguous opossum influence, and recently was observed making forays into Colorado for colonization efforts. The Midwest Association has since been ordered to cease expansion, under the pretense that they should “focus more on internal development first”. Shown in yellow. United Pacifica: United Pacifica is the newest of the Five Tribes. It has a larger population than that of the Great Lakes Clans, but holds less influence over intertribal politics due to its distance from the other polities. Shown in blue. The Gulf Empire: The Gulf Empire is the oldest and largest surviving3 entities of the Five Tribes, being founded in 1898 by Emperor Sesame I. The Gulf Empire wields significant influence over all other organizations, and has been the most vocal about the pursuance of the Methuselah Project. While once encompassing most of the territory claimed by instances of SCP-3778-A, rapid technological advancement and political turmoil have rendered it less powerful than it was at its height. Shown in red. Map of the various political entities that SCP-3778-A has organized itself into + Transcript of interview with SCP-3778-A instance. LEVEL FOUR CREDENTIALS REQUIRED - ACCESS GRANTED Addendum 3778-A6: Interviewer: Dr. Clarke Interviewed: An instance of SCP-3778-A, henceforth known as “Milkshake”, who is a relatively prominent member of the Gulf Empire’s Noble Council. Foreword: In the following interview, Dr. Clarke and Milkshake discuss the Methuselah Project. Note: Like all instances of SCP-3778-A, Milkshake uses different speech patterns, some cultural, others innate to her biology. The transcript below does not modify these patterns, but does provide translations. <Begin Log, ██:██ hours, ██/██/████> Dr. Clarke: Welcome, SCP-3778-A. Milkshake: Mi nӕme eës Milkshӕk. (My name is Milkshake.) Dr. Clarke: Yes, of course. Sorry, Milkshake. How are you today. Milkshake: Güd. (Good.) Milkshake clicks her lips twice4. Milkshake: Gurp? (Grape?) Dr. Clarke: 'fraid not, Milkshake. No grapes for right now. Milkshake droops her head and lays down on the table. Dr. Clarke: What would you like to talk about today? Milkshake: Mëduselã (Methuselah). Dr. Clarke: Well, that’s fine. What particular points of the Methuselah Project would you like to discuss? Milkshake: Ñot fӕst ëñof. (Not fast enough.) Dr. Clarke: I’m sorry, we’re working on it. These things take time and- Milkshake: Go fӕstir. Or fren ño mur. (Go faster, or friends no more.) Milkshake growls slightly and proceeds to clean herself. Milkshake is unresponsive to any further inquiry, and growls when approached by Dr. Clarke. Session ends. <End Log, ██:██ hours, ██/██/████> Footnotes 1. It is estimated that the population of SCP-3778-A currently lies somewhere around 150,000 instances. 2. Not all of the “Five Tribes” actually follow a tribal form of political organization. 3. Other SCP-3778-A groups were known to exist, but only recently has communication been established between SCP-3778-A and the Foundation to allow understanding of the political divisions present. 4. Among all opossums, including non-anomalous instances, this is seen as a sign of eagerness. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3778" by Lady Zero, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3779 | safe | Item #: SCP-3779 Special Containment Procedures: Provisional Site 3779 has been constructed around SCP-3779 to serve as its containment facility. Provisional Site 3779 consists of a perimeter fence, personnel quarters, and 2 research buildings. Plants within SCP-3779 are to be watered according to each species' requirements, and adequate sunlight should be able to reach all of the plants within. If necessary, UV lamps can be placed on the outside of SCP-3779 facing in. Personnel permitted to enter SCP-3779 are to conduct equipment checks before and after entering the structure to ensure no objects are left within. In the event that an unauthorized object is left within SCP-3779, containment teams are to extract the object as quickly as possible. Necessary force is to be used, though teams should attempt to limit as much damage to the structure as possible. SCP-3779 (pictured on the left) during the initial containment phase. Description: SCP-3779 is a 47 square meter greenhouse located in southwestern Iowa. Within SCP-3779 are various species of potted flora, either hanging from hooks attached to the ceiling or resting on tables or shelves. Written on the inside walls of SCP-3779 in black paint are 8 glyphs of unknown meaning and origin1. When a foreign object2 is introduced to SCP-3779, the plants within will begin to exhibit some of the properties of the object.3 The means by which SCP-3779 chooses which properties to gain is currently unknown. Over the course of approximately 12 hours, SCP-3779 plants will change their properties to match those of the introduced object. If given enough time, the properties of plants within SCP-3779 can match those of the introduced objects. Upon the removal of the foreign object, SCP-3779 plants will return to their original states over the course of 4-6 hours. Plants which die within SCP-3779 will no longer exhibit their anomalous properties. In the event that an adapted plant is removed from SCP-3779, it will decay similarly to non-anomalous plants, albeit at a much faster rate. Plants introduced to SCP-3779 will not be mimicked; instead, they will behave like plants already within SCP-3779. Experiment Logs: Test #: 3779-01-672001 Setup: A 1 meter portion of a standard steel I-Beam is placed within SCP-3779 and left for 9 hours. Results: The tensile strength of all plants within SCP-3779 increased by a factor of 10 and the colors of the plants shifted towards that of the I-Beam. Test #: 3779-02-672001 Setup: A 0.25 m3 block of ice is placed within a container and then into SCP-3779 and left for 7 hours. Results: Over the course of the preliminary 6 hours, the plants within SCP-3779 gained some of the properties of the ice. As the ice melted, the molecules making up the plants detached from their structures through unknown means and behaved like a liquid. When the water was removed, the pools of plant material reformed into their pre-experiment forms. Test #: 3779-03-692001 Setup: A laboratory mouse (Mus musculus) is placed within SCP-3779 and left for 7 hours. Results: After 5 hours, SCP-3779 plants developed structures containing photoreceptor cells which emanate from various locations on their stems. After 6 hours, plants developed funnel-like structures which resemble the ears of the laboratory mouse which emanate from various locations on their stems, though no further structures were observed. Test #: 3779-04-6112001 Setup: D-80801, a 32-year-old Caucasian male, was placed within SCP-3779 and instructed to sit and wait until further notice. Results: After 9 hours, SCP-3779 plants had developed complex and fully-functional visual, auditory, and somatic 'organs' across all structures of the plants. After 10 hours, SCP-3779 plants began to develop muscular structures, allowing them to move their stems and stem branches. After 11 hours, D-80801 was instructed to remove an ocular organ from one of the plants. While attempting to do this, the plant in question wrapped an extraneous vine around D-80801's neck and strangled him to death. Following the death of D-80801, plants within SCP-3779 became inert and began to imitate decaying flesh in a manner similar to that of D-80801's body. Footnotes 1. All attempts to replicate the anomalous properties of SCP-3779 by reproducing these glyphs have resulted in failure. 2. Foreign objects are defined as objects which were not present within SCP-3779 at the time of discovery. 3. It should be noted that the plant pots, tables, shelves, etc, that were within SCP-3779 at the time of discovery are not mimicked by the plants within the greenhouse. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3779" by urbandelayed, from the SCP Wiki.

They have been granted indefinite Level 5 clearance to all Foundation task forces and resources under the condition that said resources be either returned or replaced within one standard minute of deployment (relative to local time of requisition). Description: SCP-3780 describes the collective attempts by various individuals, third parties, and separate temporal versions of the Foundation to prevent the assassination of United States President John Fitzgerald Kennedy by Lee Harvey Oswald on 22 November, 1963. Although no significant changes to the timeline would actually occur if Kennedy's assassination were successfully prevented, the objective of the Foundation to preserve original consensus reality extends to the preservation of a single objective timeline within this reality. Therefore, the Temporal Anomalies Department has established Operation Thunderbolt: an indefinite program to ensure that Kennedy is shot to death by Oswald at 12:30 PM on Friday, 22 November, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. To this end, Temporal Anomalies has established a holding ground between 2220 and 2230 AD to store resources and personnel for Operation Thunderbolt as needed. Further details on Operation Thunderbolt are limited to Temporal Anomalies personnel for paradoxical reasons. Addendum: Notable Attempts at Preventing Kennedy's Assassination Date: 22/11/1963 Attempt: A gunman hiding in the Texas School Book Depository shoots Oswald dead before he can shoot Kennedy. Sweeps by the Department ahead of time to locate the gunman fail; however, Department personnel observing from the so-called grassy knoll are able to spot the gunman moving through the building from their position. Preventative Measures: A sniper placed on the grassy knoll is able to spot the gunman moving through the building and incapacitate him with a gut shot. Department personnel hiding in the building are subsequently able to locate the gunman; however, before they can recover his body, it abruptly vanishes. Date: 22/11/1963 Attempt: At 12:29 PM, Oswald abruptly vanishes from his vantage point in the Texas Book Depository. Personnel surveying the scene are unable to locate any trace of him. At 12:42 PM, he reappears in the Depository, by which time the motorcade has passed. From Oswald's perspective, no time has passed and he is unable to explain the lost time. Preventative Measures: As soon as Oswald reappears at 12:42, a Temporal Relocation specialist transfers Oswald to 12:29 PM, synchronizing with the exact time of his disappearance. Oswald remains unaware of his relocation and successfully makes the shot. Date: 22/11/1963 Attempt: An agent of Marshall, Carter, and Dark retroactively aborts Oswald by infiltrating the home of his mother, Marguerite Frances Claverie, and slipping a capsule of powdered unicorn horn into the jug of milk in her fridge. Preventative Measures: Two Temporal Anomalies agents stake out Claverie's home overnight; in the early morning, they are able to intercept and subdue the MC&D agent and recover her for interrogation without incident. The capsule of unicorn horn is confiscated successfully. Date: 22/11/1963 Attempt: While Dr. Thaddeus Xyank is observing Oswald under the cover of an SEP-Field, his future self barges into the room, renders Xyank unconscious with a punch to the jaw, and pushes him into a portable temporal relocation gateway. However, the Fields are momentarily disturbed by the impact of the punch, causing both Xyanks to be noticed by Oswald and throwing off his aim. Preventative Measures: Dr. Xyank returns to the moment in time when he was incapacitated by his future self. However, he chooses to arrive five seconds after his future self arrives in the room. Xyank subsequently incapacitates his future self with a punch to the jaw and pushes him through the temporal relocation gateway instead. However, his future self repeats the action, appearing five seconds after him, incapacitating him, and pushing him into the gateway. Unwilling to accept defeat, both Xyanks repeat this process several more times until both of them only appear after Oswald has successfully shot and killed Kennedy, at which point the two Xyanks agree to a truce. Date: 22/11/1963 Attempt: A version of Mobile Task Force Tau-5 is dispatched by the Foundation of the year 20██ to eliminate Oswald with extreme prejudice. Temporal Anomalies personnel attempt to prevent them from doing so; they are repeatedly unsuccessful and suffer heavy casualties as well. Preventative Measures: Mobile Task Force Tau-5 is dispatched to protect Oswald by intercepting and eliminating their future selves. Although they are initially successful in doing so, the surviving Nanku asset is found to be from the 20██-Foundation. She is subsequently reprogrammed to replace her past counterpart. Diplomatic channels have been opened with the 20██-Foundation to ascertain their reasoning for attempting to eliminate Oswald. No future attempts at using Tau-5 are expected.

SCP-3781 | safe | Item #: SCP-3781 Special Containment Procedures: On October 11, 1999, all of SCP-3781's publicly available servers were shut down and removed from the Internet. All search results, screenshots, and links for SCP-3781 were completely removed from the Internet. Using IP addresses gathered from the game's database, all players of SCP-3781 were tracked down, detained, and released after being administered Class C amnestics. Addendum 3781.071901: Following the incident of July 19, 2001, a mass misinformation campaign was instated with the cooperation of every major space agency in the world to convince the rest of the world that the International Space Station is intact and operational. Further testing on SCP-3781 has been ceased indefinitely. Description: SCP-3781 is a Japanese massively multiplayer online game titled OK Painter! (OK ペインター!), developed and published in 1999 by Tokyo-based independent video game studio PaintSoft. The game was online for 6 months prior to the Foundation's discovery and its subsequent shutdown on October 11, 1999. Data gathered from the game's database revealed that SCP-3781 had a total of 153 players, all of which were located within Tokyo Prefecture.1 Players assume control of "Painters", white humanoid creatures drawn in the Japanese "super-deformed" cartoon style and equipped with paint brushes and buckets of paint. Painters serve as the player's avatar and are widely customizable in appearance. The primary objective of SCP-3781 is to gain rewards and increase in experience level through scaling various buildings in Tokyo using paint. Upon reaching the maximum level of 99, reaching a balcony or rooftop produces a dialog box reading "Leave a cool message?" and the options YES and NO. Choosing YES prompts the player to type a phrase or quote associated with a piece of popular culture into the provided space. (See Addendum 3781.1 for additional details.) Upon entering the phrase, a cutscene occurs wherein the Painter paints the phrase onto the wall (or floor if on the rooftop) in the format "OK Painter, [input]" Immediately following this, an event involving the Painter is depicted that alludes to the work associated with the inputted phrase. Approximately 33 minutes and 19 seconds later, the effect produced upon the Painter is followed by an analogous event at a random real-world location. Further testing has suggested that locations of said events are related to the country from which the work referenced by the inputted phrase originates. Addendum 3781.1 Close addendum Choosing YES when asked to "leave a cool message" produces the following prompt: Type your favorite phrase from popular culture into the space below. Make sure it's cool! type your phrase here Phrases must fall within a certain set of criteria to be accepted by SCP-3781. The currently known criteria are as follows: SCP-3781 defines "popular culture" as any narrative communicated by any form of broadcast, digital, outdoor or print media. The work referenced by the phrase must be a fictional narrative. Descriptions of nonfictional events are considered fictional as long as the characters involved are fictional. The referenced work must have been made available to the general public at one point in time. Entering a phrase from an unreleased or prototype version of any work that did not appear in the final product produces the message "That's not how I remember it. Try again!" The phrase must have explicitly appeared within the referenced work itself. Different adaptations of the same narrative are considered separate works. The phrase cannot include the name of the referenced work. Simply entering the title of the work in question (e.g. Romeo and Juliet as opposed to "My naked weapon is out.") produces the message "That's too obvious. Try again!" The phrase must be written exactly as it appears in the referenced work, including grammar and punctuation. Typing a misquoted phrase (e.g. "Luke, I am your father." instead of "No, I am your father."), produces the message "That's not quite right. Try again!" In the case of a phrase appearing in multiple works, the work referenced will be the one to which the player has most recently been exposed, or which the player consciously or subconsciously associates with the phrase. Addendum 3781.2: Experiment Logs Close addendum The following experiment logs are all translated from Japanese. All times listed are in Japanese Standard Time (JST) unless otherwise noted. Test 01—10/12/99, 14:23 Player: Researcher Toriyama Input:"OK Painter, Special Beam Cannon!" Results: The Painter gains a green complexion and replaces its customized outfit with a white cape with shoulder guards and a white turban. The Painter touches a hand to its forehead, then expels a bright energy beam bounded by rings of light into the distance. A small explosion is observed in the far left corner of the background. Notes: On October 12, 1999 at 14:56, an abrupt ██████% increase in nuclear radiation levels was detected for 13.39 seconds within a 10 cm2wide area of space across a strawberry field outside of ████████, a town in Ibaraki Prefecture. Two hundred and twenty-three (223) strawberry plants were obliterated by the radiation blast; no animals or human beings were harmed. Test 02—01/25/00, 12:00 Player: Researcher Fujiwara Input: "OK Painter, You are already dead." Results: A tall, muscular man wearing a blue vest and jeans with white shoulder pads punches through the wall in front of the Painter. He presses his thumbs into the sides of the Painter's head and speaks: "I just pressed your hidden pressure point. Your life ends seven seconds from now. Use this time to reflect on your sins." The Painter runs around the rooftop for approximately 7 seconds before suddenly clutching its head and collapsing. The screen turns red as a loud, high-pitched warbling tone plays, followed by the sound of an explosion and splattering noises. The word "ひでぶっ!!" is displayed on the screen. Notes: On January 25, 2000 at 12:33, Japanese news station ███'s breaking news segment covered the murder in broad daylight of ██████ Kazuma, a Yakuza member involved in a series of murders and human trafficking operations across Japan's Kantō region. Kazuma was apprehended and assaulted in the Harajuku district of Shibuya, Tokyo by a man "cosplaying" as the character Kenshiro from the Fist of the North Star manga and anime series. Video footage showed Kazuma's assailant saying "I just pressed your hidden pressure point. Your life ends seven seconds from now. Use this time to reflect on your sins." This was immediately followed by [DATA EXPUNGED]. Kazuma's official cause of death was listed as severe head trauma and internal hemorrhage. Test 03— 06/20/00, 19:42 Player: Researcher Takeuchi Input: "OK Painter, You're gonna need a bigger boat." Results: Perspective shifts to reveal a large rooftop swimming pool with a small fishing boat at one end. The Painter boards the boat and steers it in brief laps around the pool. Five seconds in, a shark fin appears above the water; three seconds later, a specimen of Carcharodon carcharias (great white shark) emerges and violently consumes the rear half of the boat, causing it to begin sinking. The Painter jumps overboard and swims to safety while the shark consumes the rest of the boat. Notes: On June 20th, 2000 at 06:15 EST, an illegal shark hunting vessel called the Orca █ miles off the coast of Martha's Vineyard was attacked by a male Carcharodon carcharias, compromising the rear portion of the hull and causing the vessel to sink. The three crew members of the Orca were rescued by Coast Guard vessels patrolling the area, and were apprehended by law enforcement when they arrived on land. Comment: This is the first time something happened outside of Japan. Perhaps it was because Jaws is an American film? If so, then the locations of anomalous events may depend on the origin of the work referenced by the phrase. We must definitely look into this further. -Dr. Yamamoto Test 04— 07/16/01, 23:03 Player: Researcher Amano Input: "OK Painter, That is one big pile of shit." Result: An orange Triceratops appears on the rooftop where it feeds on several potted plants. After finishing its meal, the Triceratops defecates loudly, covering the center of the rooftop. It walks back down the access hatch as the Painter pinches its nose. Notes: On July 16, 2001, at 06:36 PST, a complete fossil of Triceratops prorsus was discovered next to a pile of coprolite weighing approximately 1814.369 kilograms in the backyard of film director Steven Spielberg's mansion in Los Angeles, California. Comment: Well, this certainly seems to confirm my suspicions. I must admit I am interested in running a few more tests just to see how what kinds of weird things happen. Let's just try not to cause any international crises! -Dr. Yamamoto Test 05— 07/19/01, 03:00 Player: Researcher Sakamoto Input: "OK Painter, The last Metroid is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace." Result: The Painter morphs into a tall humanoid figure wearing an orange space suit with a green arm cannon. The figure kneels in front of a green jellyfish-like organism in a glass container and a draconic figure appears, seizing the container and attacking the Painter. The Painter fires several missiles at it before it flies away. Notes: On July 19, 2001, at 03:33, an unidentified orange spaceship was seen approaching the International Space Station. Surveillance cameras onboard recorded [DATA EXPUNGED] resulting in the deaths of all scientists on board. The orange-suited individual was unable to be apprehended, but escaped in the same spaceship from which they arrived. At 03:36, the entire space station exploded. Two unidentified life forms were also seen escaping the explosion. Comment: Is it just me or did the person in the orange space suit look like a woman? -Researcher Sakamoto Comment: Goddamnit. -Dr. Yamamoto Footnotes 1. All players were individuals classified as hikikomori (social recluses) by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. This may explain why the game was not more widespread. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3781" by stoymyboy, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3782 | safe | Theodore Roosevelt wearing SCP-3782 pre-containment. Item #: SCP-3782 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3782 is kept in a standard containment safe in Site-39. Testing is strictly prohibited in experiments that may result in the death of the wearer or damage of SCP-3782. Information concerning SCP-3782 and its history may only be known to those with Level 4 or higher security clearance. Description: SCP-3782 is a pair of C-bridge style pince-nez eyeglasses whose original owner was the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. Scratches can be seen in both lenses, but they are otherwise undamaged despite their age. When an individual puts on SCP-3782, they are perceived by others to be the last person who died while wearing the object (henceforth referred to as SCP-3782-1). As of the acquisition of the object on 06/05/2004, the current SCP-3782-1 is the 40th President of the United States, Ronald Reagan. The illusory effect of SCP-3782 extends only to visual and auditory perception. Physical contact with the wearer may result in minor disruption of the effect due to differences in height and figure. While SCP-3782 cannot be seen when active, it is still possible for it to be removed by normal means. Doing so will deactivate it and the wearer will appear as they were before putting it on. Discovery: SCP-3782's anomalous effects were alluded to on 05/20/2004 during one of SCP-1867's recollections of its time with President Roosevelt. It had remarked that it visited President Roosevelt two weeks after his attempted assassination on October 14th, 19121, mentioning that Roosevelt did not remember any of their past meetings in addition to changes in behavior. Despite the validity of SCP-1867's claims, a general consensus among site staff led to a request for an in-depth investigation of the American government and past cabinet officials. The request was approved with implanted agents being notified on 05/24/2004. On 06/05/2004, Agent Mallory, an embedded agent in the White House security staff, witnessed the exchange of an eyeglass case between an unknown individual and Treasury Secretary John W. Snow. Mallory followed Secretary Snow as he placed the case containing SCP-3782 into a lockbox kept under his desk. Later, Mallory returned to the lockbox and recovered the object from it as well as an accompanying document (See Document 3782-I). + Document 3782-I - Access Granted Document 3782-I: The following document was recovered along with SCP-3782. All acting replacements are required to sign this document at the moment of receiving their duties and must return the property in question (the eyeglasses) to the acting Secretary of the Treasury. Failure to do so is a direct violation of their duty and will be met with severe punishment. Replacements may be called upon again for future public addresses. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. - Death by a gunshot wound, October 14, 1912. Acting replacement is Herman Morrison, age 41.

Instructed to return the glasses should he fail to be re-elected or after his second term. Interview 3782.4: For the purposes of clarifying the circumstances of Nixon's death and the actions taken by his replacement, a former federal agent (Harold Terring) assigned to guard service of Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon was brought in for an interview. Terring was both confirmed to have been involved in SCP-3782's use and easily reached for an interview. It was conducted on 08/18/2004 by Agent Mallory. <Begin Log> Mallory: First, I'd like to thank you for your service, Mr. Terring. Terring: Oh, err, you're welcome. Mallory: I'd like to speak to you about your personal experiences with the glasses. In the document we recovered with them, President Nixon is mentioned and we'd like you to shed some light on their use. Terring: Teddy's glasses. Right. I've only seen them used once. From what I understand, most people only see them put on once, if ever. Otherwise, they were kept away, even from us in the secret service. Mallory: When did you see them? The glasses, I mean. Terring: [brief pause] It was during Watergate. A lot of politicians were in deep, you know. Nixon was one of them. I remember being in the room when they sat him down. Agnew and Will Simon were the only ones I recognized. I was told to guard the door. Mallory: Sat him down? Terring: Yes, that's right. They sat him down to talk. They tried to convince him to resign. Things were getting out of hand and they knew that Nixon was involved, no one could deny that. He did this to himself, and they wanted him to give it up. He'd already lost his influence with the Republicans. Mallory: What did Nixon say? Terring: He refused. He swore he could dissolve the whole thing, falsify it. He thought he had the power to lie to America and they would eat it up. The cabinet wasn't having it. So Mr. Simon got out the glasses. If they couldn't get him to do what they wanted, they'd find someone who would. <End Log> Closing Notes: Nixon is believed to be the only president treated in this manner. However, this cannot be clarified for presidents preceding Nixon, as all listed replacements are confirmed to be deceased, with the exception of Lawrence Mayford. A formal request has been submitted for the arrest and interrogation of Mayford as a result. Interview 3782.6: Below is an excerpt from an interview with Lawrence Mayford, the listed replacement for former President Ronald Reagan. The interview was conducted on 09/30/2004, two days after the detainment of May due to his initial resistance to comply, with Agent Mallory leading the discussion. <Begin Log> Mallory: Hello, again, May. Security staff informed me that you were more willing to tell us something. Mayford: That'd be right. Mallory: Good. The sooner you answer some questions, the— Mayford: Sooner I get released, yeah yeah, I get it. God, you're a broken record. [brief pause] Sorry. I just get a little stir crazy. I don't do well with staring at the same walls, you know? Mallory: I understand. Let's agree to make this brief then. Now, what happened to Reagan? Mayford: You already know what happened to Reagan. He was shot and killed by that one guy. Hinckley. Thankfully, he didn't bite it right away, so they slipped the glasses on him and allowed him to pass.2 They picked me to replace him. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited to be the next president. Mallory: I can imagine. It's an entertaining thought to be able to have that much influence over a country. Mayford: [chuckles] You'd think so, but that wasn't the plan for me. No, I was just meant to echo the Congress. They'd plan out the rest of my term and I'd have to go along with it. Mallory: Why wouldn't they allow the vice to accept the position, then? Surely they'd get just as much done that way. Mayford: Sure, but the vice president wasn't specifically selec— [coughs] [brief silence] Mallory: Mr. Mayford, I thought we had an understanding. Tell us what you know, and you'll be allowed to leave. Anything you say here is confidential and can only be reviewed by Foundation staff. Mayford: [sighs] Right. It's a reflex. They make it perfectly clear that this can't get out. [deep breath, followed by a long exhale] I, like all the others, were specifically picked by certain members of Congress. Those members of Congress are the only ones that know about the glasses. You know about the Dinner Table Bargain, right? Mallory: I'm familiar. Mayford: It's a lot like that. They3 get together in secret, discuss what actions they are going to take, and then plant the ideas into the other government officials to push it forward. The rest is up to me to make sure it goes through. Mallory: Do you know what things they've compromised on? Mayford: Hell, could be all of my actions in a term, could be none of them. I don't know what they do behind closed doors. Kind of the point, don't you think? Mallory: Seems that way. Have they ever made it clear as to what "severe punishment" refers to? We saw in the document you signed. Mayford: I honestly don't know. But I'll tell you one thing: I wasn't eager to find out, and I doubt any of the others were, either. <End Log> Closing Notes: An investigation into Mayford's history has shown that he has never held any formal position in a government agency or military branch, making him considerably underqualified for any political position with a widespread influence. However, an archived criminal record was recovered listing several major felonies. Addendum 1: Investigations made into the other replacements noted in Document 3782-I have yielded similar results to Lawrence Mayford's background. Morrison, Lambley, Bridge, and Thomas were all confirmed to have no prior government experience and a hidden criminal record. It is possible that GoI-1115 selects these individuals with the promise of pardoning them and burying their criminal history, though there is no clear evidence that directly supports this case. Footnotes 1. This was also noted as unusual, as SCP-1867 has displayed a willful ignorance of events past 1910. 2. This statement cannot be confirmed to be true or false. 3. These individuals (hereby designated as GoI-1115) have not been identified. Mayford claims to have had no contact with any of the aforementioned individuals. |
SCP-3783 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3783 Special Containment Procedures: Provisional Site-78 has been established to contain SCP-3783. The facility is to operate under the guise of a wildlife research facility. SCP-3783 is kept in an observation dome with an airlock chamber installed and is to be constantly monitored. No open flame is to be brought within the dome. Automated drones are to be used to directly approach SCP-3783. SCP-3783 is implanted with a GPS tracker that is monitored by automated systems. Testing is only to be performed by the approval of Level 4 personnel. During testing, no fewer than 6 armed guards are to be present, three of which must be on catwalks above the containment chamber. SCP-3783-1 specimens developed from testing are to be analyzed, then transferred to cryogenic storage at Site-87's Biology Wing. UPDATE: All testing has been suspended. SCP-3783-1 instances found are to be incinerated. A 7 meter wall has been erected around Provisional Site-78. Security teams are to be on guard outside with net launchers which are to be used to tangle SCP-3783's legs. Torches are to be activated on the walls during a breach. See Incident 3783 for further details. Description: SCP-3783 is a single-roomed log cabin that is located in the wilderness of Siberia. Inside it is decorated with furs,1 has one rocking chair, a fireplace, a wardrobe, a chest,2 and a cauldron. It has two windows on the sides and a single wooden door allowing for entry. Beneath SCP-3783 are four fleshy limbs located at the corners that terminate in three spindly clawed fingers, which resemble the toes of a domestic chicken (Gallus gallus). These limbs allow for locomotion. It estimated that each limb is 6 meters long and bend at three places. These limbs are mostly rooted beneath the surrounding soil, stationing SCP-3783 at its location (see Discovery for further information). The limbs remain dormant until hostile action is presented toward SCP-3783 directly. A limb would burst from the ground and grab a subject, which it would pull towards the inside of SCP-3783 or crush them. This response is instantly triggered when one is wielding a torch or any form of open flame. Since the construction of Provisional Site-78, SCP-3783 will at times unroot itself and wander its containment briefly. After investigating its surroundings, it would return to its original position. Any biological organisms, except for microbial, entering SCP-3783 will undergo various mutations. The resulting specimens are designated as SCP-3783-1. Instances posses a short lifespan of a week and sometimes are inflicted with lethal mutations resulting in instant death. Instances are mainly docile and would protect SCP-3783 in the event of any hostilities. Deceased organisms do not undergo any mutations within SCP-3783. See Addendum 02 for -1 instances produced from testing. Recently, it has been discovered that deceased -1 instances are able to reanimate via unknown means as long as the body is sufficiently intact. Incineration has shown to be effective in preventing a reanimated instance. See Incident 3783. Discovery: SCP-3783 was discovered after reports from several towns in Southern Russia of a "lost witch's house" wandering the wilderness. One town had sent a small armed group to hunt for it, but only one member of the party returned, a Mr. Grigori Ivanov (see Addendum 01). Nearby recovery teams responded and eventually traced SCP-3783 to its current location, rooting itself. It was found with the following sign which was tied to a nail on the door that is written in Old Russian. Out to feast. Stay out. Addendum 01: The following interview was originally spoken in Russian and has been translated. Interviewed: Mr. Gregori Ivanov Interviewer: Agent Sergio <Begin Log> Agent Sergio: Alright, please tell me what happened when you went into the forest. Mr. Ivanov: [Sigh] Well, it was getting dark and were heading East to where it was last seen. We found its tracks and followed them. Eventually, we caught our first glimpse of its silhouette from moonlight. Agent Sergio: What was it doing? Mr. Ivanov: It was just moving slowly through the trees before disappearing into the night. We quickly tried to pursue it but we lost it. That's when we decided to camp until sunrise. I tried to sleep but I was too worried, even with my trusty hunting rifle on my side. I never thought I would ever get to see a witch's house so it left me spooked. Anyway, we then started hearing the most unusual sounds from the surrounding woods. Agent Sergio: Can you describe it? Mr. Ivanov: I am not sure how to describe it. It sounded like nothing I ever heard before. Agent Sergio: Very well. Continue please. Mr. Ivanov: One of the men of the group, Roman, went to investigate the sounds despite our objections. That young fool… Agent Sergio: What happened? Mr. Ivanov: He screamed and when we caught up we found nothing, except for his broken glasses and shreds of his jacket covered in blood. We stuck together after that and returned to the camp to pack up and move forward. We heard the sound of snapping twigs and crushed leaves followed behind us. Unknowingly as we quickly tried to flee, two young men were missing. We were baffled and decided to hunt whatever was lurking in the surrounding darkness. We wondered to ourselves if it was the work of the witch's hut, but who knew. I followed behind the group as we went and we were tense. I just wanted to go home. Eventually, we stumbled upon a mangled corpse that was being eaten by…something nearby a lake. Our lanterns barely showed us what it looked like, and I was blocked by the group. I'm somewhat glad I haven't seen it for the sound of its chewing was disgusting. It quickly moved out of sight as ahead we saw the hut step forth from a row of trees as the moon was behind it, casting a silhouette of it. Agent Sergio: Then I assume your party attacked it? Mr. Ivanov: Yes, Vladimir and Dmitri ran to it with their torches to burn it. It noticed them and moved back as silhouettes of creatures came to be. The things attacked Vladimir and Dmitri, and I had a small glimpse of them from their torches. It was not enough to tell any distinct features, but they were nearly as large as dogs. Aleksey fired his Nagant3 at the creatures to help Vladimir and Dmitri. We managed to save Dmitri but Vladimir was dragged away. I could still hear him scream as the hut quickly grabbed him and slammed his body on a large rock. It then pressed on his body and there were awful cracking sounds. I could barely see it happening but it was enough to traumatize me. Such awful sounds… Then, that is when I ran. Aleksey and two other men tried to fight the beasts but I heard only their screams and gun shots. I ran and ran without rest back towards home. I was accompanied by another young man who I never had the pleasure of knowing his name. Luckily, the sun was soon to rise and I was eager to be home, away from the danger. I wish I can say the same for the young man who was with me. He just disappeared and I had not noticed. I became concerned that I was being stalked and grew paranoid. I'm glad I managed to find my way out of the forest before I went insane. [Pauses] [Sigh] We were no match for the witch's lost hut. I really wish we knew better. Agent Sergio: Well, thank you, Mr. Ivanov. Everything will be fine. <End Log> Closing Statement: Mr. Ivanov received amnestics and the SCP-3783-1 instances mentioned has not been found. Addendum 02: For a full version of all experiments, please request it from Lead Researcher Westfield. + Experiment Log 3783 - Close Experiment Log 3783 Specimen: Common house cat (Felis catus) Result: Specimen was continuously coughing and eyes became completely black. All of its body hair fell out and grew slightly in size by 0.2 meters. The end of its tail grew a poisonous stinger which connected to four venomous sacs within the torso. The skeletal structure of the specimen became cartilaginous and resembled that of a shark (Selachi). Time Elapsed: 13 seconds Specimen: Common goldfish (Carassius auratus auratus) Result: The specimen grew additional eyes along its sides as it grew 22 centimeters in length. The pupils were hexagonal in shape. Its fins grew larger and twisted to form a makeshift limb to crawl out of water. Instance was unable to breathe and expired. An underdeveloped labyrinth organ4 was found during autopsy covered in tumor-like growths. Time Elapsed: 17 seconds Specimen: Albino laboratory rat (Rattus norvegicus) Result: The skeleton of the specimen expanded through the skin, forming a rough exoskeleton around the specimen's body. The specimen grew 1 meter larger and the eyes extended from the skull on thin stalks. A pair of insect mandibles grew from the mouth as the tongue extended 30 centimeters in length and became serrated. Instance violently slammed its head on the floor of the cage it was in, and bled to death shortly afterwards. Time Elapsed: 12 seconds Specimen: Domestic dog (Canis familiaris) Result: The specimen began to howl in pain and its neck began to extend. Then large tusks began to protrude from its mouth. Stomach was found to have formed ulcers. Time Elapsed: 15 seconds Specimen: European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) Result: Specimen immediately expired and had no visible mutations. Blood was found to be a black color and the heart increased in size by 7 centimeters. Time Elapsed: 2 seconds Specimen: D-1832 (Note: Subject was equipped with an explosive collar.) Result: Subject complained of stomach pain before long thin strands of hair began to be produced from their mouth. Teeth and nails fell out as the arms and legs grew grotesquely disproportionate. The hair was covered in an unknown enzyme that corroded flesh and moved on its own accord. Time Elapsed: 13 seconds Specimen: D-7899 (Note: Subject was equipped with an explosive collar.) Result: Subject transformed into an organism resembling a featherless chicken (Gallus gallus). Its skin was a dark red and brown color and had a wattle. The explosive collar was immediately detonated which decapitated the specimen. The head was mostly intact and the body died shortly after. Time Elapsed: 20 seconds Incident 3783: On 07/12/██, SCP-3783-1 instances in cryogenic storage at Site-87 were missing. The latches of the Cryogenic Preservation Tanks showed no signs of tampering. Two hours later at Provisional Site-78, several -1 instances were visible on the monitors surrounding SCP-3783 reanimated. Instances attempted to open the airlock and were neutralized by security teams on nearby catwalks. Meanwhile, Site-██ was reportedly attacked by reanimated -1 instances and two of which had interacted with SCP-352. The following transcript is from surveillance footage. <Begin Log> SCP-352 is sitting at the corner of its containment chamber. After 40 seconds, a vent that lead into the chamber suddenly bursts open which two -1 instances crawl out of. Simultaneously, -1 instances were attacking from Gate A at this time. One instance resembled a gastropod5 with two arm-like appendages. It quickly moves to the door and a bulbous sac on its back began to expand and bursts, covering the door with a thick mucus. The second instance was feline and resembled a bearded dragon (Pogona) which moves towards SCP-352. The instance had in its mouth what appears to be a human fetus which it places on the floor in front of SCP-352. SCP-352 reaches for the fetus and begins to devour it. SCP-352 then pats the instance's head. The instance and SCP-352 appear to briefly converse before SCP-352 stands and moves towards the instance. SCP-352 kneels down and appears to whisper to the instance. Instance then nods its head and returns into the vent as SCP-352 stands idly while facing the camera for the remainder of the footage. <End Log> The SCP-3783-1 instance in the footage was later found at Provisional Site-78 within SCP-3783's chamber. It was found deceased in front of SCP-3783 which buried the instance with a clump of dirt. Following the incident, SCP-3783 has became more active and attempts to escape. In response, security has been upgraded at Provisional Site-78 and Site-██. Footnotes 1. The furs have been identified as belonging to Eurasian brown bears (Ursus actos actos), red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), and red deers (Cervus elaphus). 2. The contents of the wardrobe and the chest are unknown. 3. Referring to a Nagant M1895 revolver. 4. A lung-like organ that allows for breathing oxygen. It is common among fish of the suborder Anabantoidei. 5. Commonly known as slugs or snails. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3783" by Baronjoe, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3783.

SCP-3784 | safe | Item #: SCP-3784 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3784 is to be kept in a high-security storage vault at Site 76. Testing with SCP-3784 may only be conducted within a hermetically sealed chamber with an automatic fire suppression system. Exposure to SCP-3784 is to be limited to D-class personnel, with preference given to D-class with the lowest available SEC1 rating. All testing proposals must first be submitted to the Ethics Committee for approval. Description: SCP-3784 is a small, ornate oil lamp, perpetually filled with shark liver oil2. When SCP-3784 is within an unbroken line of sight of at least one human3 in REM sleep, SCP-3784 will kindle itself if not already lit, and initiate an INCUBUS event. Test subjects experiencing an INCUBUS event will appear to be undergoing sleep paralysis to outside observers. The flame of SCP-3784 will begin to anomalously flicker in such a manner that the shadows it casts depict scenes from the subject's sleep paralysis episode. This makes SCP-3784 a severe fire hazard during INCUBUS events, and it has been known to light flammable objects up to 120 centimeters away. Based upon both the shadows cast by SCP-3784 and post-INCUBUS event interviews, a convocation of both humanoid and non-humanoid entities will typically surround the subject and begin to enact some kind of farcical debate with each other. The first known example of such revolved around what was the best method for preparing a human being for consumption, resulting in 13 different segments of the subject's body being removed and prepared in a different manner, then force fed to them. Other examples include rearranging internal organs to gauge how they function, testing the holding capacity of the digestive system, and replacing the skin with a silk body stocking. Test subjects who have undergone INCUBUS events have all reported that their experiences during sleep paralysis were indistinguishable from reality, and consequently all have suffered from severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and insomnia. Recovery: SCP-3784 was discovered during a raid on a Marshall, Carter, & Dark warehouse in Glasgow, Scotland, along with other objects believed to be the personal property of Dark. It was found with the following note attached to it: From One Brother To Another A Little Piece Of My Kingdom To Darken Yours Mind That It Doesn't Singe The Drapes Possible connections to SCP-4116 are being investigated. Footnotes 1. Skills, Experience, and Cooperation. 2. Oil removed from the lamp does not retain any anomalous properties and may be used or disposed of safely. 3. Testing with non-human animals has been inconclusive. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3784" by DrChandra, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3785 | euclid | SCP-3785 - Jasper's Hill ▸ More by this Author ◂ {$comments2} F.A.Q. {$doesthisfixthebug} Item#: 3785 Level3 Containment Class: euclid Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: danger link to memo Access road to SCP-3785. Image recovered from cell phone footage. See Addendum 3785.4 (3785.AV.01) for details. Special Containment Procedures: The access point to SCP-3785 is to be barricaded and monitored by automatic surveillance equipment. Individuals attempting to access SCP-3785 are to be apprehended and turned over to local authorities. Foundation personnel are not to pass the established 1.6km marker unless required for testing. Description: SCP-3785 is a location accessible only by a dirt road leading off Georgia HW 166. Attempts to access SCP-3785 by any means other than this road will invariably result in being unable to find SCP-3785 at all. Individuals who stray off the dirt road and attempt to return to it will be unable to locate it again. The road cannot be accessed by air. The road is approximately 2km in length, and exits into SCP-3785. SCP-3785 is a roughly 90m wide, indeterminately long section of clearcut hills, bordered on either side by a thick forest, through which large high-voltage power line stanchions run. It is perpetually night within SCP-3785, and the temperature stays a consistent 22.5° C. Crisscrossing SCP-3785 are numerous dirt tracks, such that an off-road vehicle might use them for recreational purposes. Several crude wooden signs bearing the words “Jasper’s Hill” with an arrow pointing north dot the dirt paths across SCP-3785. Attempting to travel north within SCP-3785 is extremely hazardous due to the terrain, which becomes increasingly difficult to navigate as the hills and valleys dramatically increase in size and complexity, to the point of impossibility. Because of this, exploratory teams have been unable to reach the north end of SCP-3785. SCP-3785-1 is the group designation for a white late-1980s Chevrolet Blazer on a lifted suspension and its driver. The true nature of SCP-3785-1 has not yet been determined, though information gathered within SCP-3785 has identified the driver of the vehicle as “Jasper” of “Jasper’s Hill”. SCP-3785-1 is capable of easily navigating the impossible terrain of SCP-3785, and seemingly does so to stalk and pursue individuals who become lost within SCP-3785. Addendum 3785.1: Discovery The existence of SCP-3785 was part of a well known folk tale in the region, which typically told of three children who become lost in the woods and enter a dark clearing called “Jasper’s Place”. The children then become lost, and are pursued by an unseen individual who eventually finds them and “hangs them upside down” at the end of the story. However, it was not until a group of twelve young adults disappeared under mysterious circumstances in the area that Foundation personnel became involved. After three weeks, one of the individuals was found nearly 2km from the entrance to SCP-3785, in a state of severe shock. The survivor, a 20-year-old black male from Villa Rica, GA, managed to communicate to first responders that he was still being pursued by “Jasper”, and that the other missing individuals had all been “hung upside down”. At the sight of headlights from nearby vehicles passing by, the individual began to panic and scream about “Jasper” having found him and being unable to hide, and had to be sedated. After law enforcement officials were unable to access SCP-3785 by any means other than the dirt access road described by the survivor, and once the anomalous characteristics of SCP-3785 were discovered, Foundation personnel from Atlanta worked to contain the scene and administer amnestics, as necessary, while working to prepare a team to attempt to find the remaining missing persons. Addendum 3785.2: Exploration Log I + Access Addendum - Close Addendum Note: The following is the audio transcript of an exploratory attempt within SCP-3785 by three members of MTF D-15 “County Line”, D-15 Teter, Jackknife, and Norse. The purpose of their mission was to ascertain the location of and recover eleven missing individuals. [BEGIN LOG] D-15 Teter: Alright y’all. Let’s go. D-15 Norse: It’s getting dark in here. D-15 Teter: Yeah, Command, I can confirm it’s starting to get dark. Not like we’ve got too much tree cover, but like it’s just nighttime. Can you confirm the time? Command: Copy that, Teter. It is currently 1405 hours, local time. D-15 Teter: That’s what I thought. Way too dark for this time of day. Team continues on for an additional 2km before reaching the opening into SCP-3785. D-15 Jackknife: You guys hear that? D-15 Norse: Yeah, that’s freaky. It’s really quiet in here. All we can hear is the wind (pauses) and the occasional bird. D-15 Jackknife: And it’s really fucking dark. Command: Copy that, team. Proceed with caution. Team activates their shoulder mounted lights, and proceed north across the clearing. D-15 Teter: Command, status report. Command: Copy, Teter. D-15 Teter: We’re in some big clearing here, like you see where they’ve got power lines strung, only there are trees on this end, and… it’s hard to make out what’s much further north than where we are. There are stars in the sky, but they’re pretty dim and, uh… not any that I’m familiar with. We can see some really faint lights up ahead too, and a lot of hills, some rough dirt tracks. Nothing particularly unusual right now. (Pauses) Wish we’d brought some vehicles, though. Going to be hard to get around here. Command: Copy, Teter. Continue on as far as you can safely, and return when you feel you can’t advance any further. D-15 Teter: Copy that. Team continues on for a short time. D-15 Norse: Look over here. Footprints. (Pauses) Probably a few different sets. Think these are our missing kids? D-15 Teter: Hard to say. Look pretty fresh, though. (Pauses) Huh. Check that out. D-15 Jackknife: What? D-15 Teter: That sign. D-15 Norse: Command, we’ve got a sign here that says… “Jasper’s Hill”, and it’s got an arrow pointing… north, on it. Command: Copy that, Norse. Anything else unusual where you are? D-15 Norse: Negative. Looks pretty clear. Command: Copy. Carry on. Team continues north, passing several other similar signs and what appear to be small campsites and remnants of fires at the tops of hills. On the top of a particularly tall hill, the team pauses. D-15 Teter: You see that out there? D-15 Norse: Where? D-15 Jackknife: Yeah, way over there. Is that a car? D-15 Teter: Sort of looks like it, doesn’t it? It’s not moving very fast. (Pauses) Command, the landscape here is getting really unusual. The hill we’re on top of is taller than it should be, and it drops off pretty dramatically past here. I can see, shit, uh… maybe a half dozen other unusually large hills past here? And past that, maybe three or four clicks out, there are some headlights. They’re just sort of… creeping along out there. D-15 Norse: Hey, they’ve stopped. D-15 Teter: So I think we’re going to need to start to backtrack, see if there are any side roads away from here, or— D-15 Jackknife: Shh, hang on. Look. D-15 Norse: Uh, Command, those lights just flashed at us. It’s turning. (Pauses) It’s coming towards us. Command: Copy that. How far away is this vehicle? D-15 Teter: Sort of hard to judge. The landscape gets really strange past this point. I think it’s pretty far away. It’s— (pauses) the bird noise. It’s stopped. There’s something else there now. Command: What is it? D-15 Teter: It’s like a person making… cat noises. Er, like, “merw, merw”. Just over and over again. I don’t know where it’s coming from. Command: Copy that, Teter. Go ahead and head back, we’re going to see about getting you some vehicles before trying this again. D-15 Teter: Affirmative. D-15 Jackknife: Thank god. My feet are fucking killing me. Team proceeds to head back towards the access point. D-15 Norse: Teter, over here. There’s something by this tree. D-15 Teter: Yeah? D-15 Norse: It’s a cell phone. D-15 Teter: Huh. Yeah, go ahead and grab that. We’ll let the lab process it. (Pauses) Anybody seen those lights in a while? D-15 Jackknife: Not since we came back down that ridge. (Pauses) That weird cat sound is gone, though. D-15 Norse: Finally. D-15 Teter: Hang tight. I can hear something else. You hear that? What is that? D-15 Jackknife: I don’t know, honestly. It’s really weird, it’s like I can just make it out. (Pauses) Yeah, that’s weird. It’s like it’s really close to us, but I can barely hear it. It’s muffled? Sounds sort of like a lot of- D-15 Norse: (Pauses) Oh, fuck. Look up there. D-15 Jackknife: Oh my god. D-15 Teter: Wha— shit, the headlights. Run! Turn off your lights, run! Command: Teter? Teter, what is it? D-15 Teter: That noise (heavy breathing) the power lines (heavy breathing) they’re on the power lines (heavy breathing) the kids we were (pauses) looking for, they’re hung upside down above (heavy breathing) it’s right behind us. Command: Copy, we have an extraction team ready at the access point. Command: Teter? Do you read us? D-15 Jackknife: (Engine noise, then shouting, and then silence) D-15 Teter: Fuck! Command: D-15 team? Do you copy? Silence. Command: Do you copy? A short time passes in silence as Command attempts to reestablish communications with the D-15 team. D-15 Teter: Come on. We’re almost there. Command: D-15, do you copy? D-15 Norse: Command? Command: We read you. What happened? D-15 Norse: It hit Jackknife and drove into the woods. We heard a voice as it came near us, and it was talking to us, but we don’t think it could see us. It’s gone back over the ridge now, and (pauses) I can’t see it. Jack? Jack! Command: Repeat, Jackknife is MIA? D-15 Teter: Affirmative. Command, I think we found the missing subjects too, but (pauses) I don’t think they’re recoverable. We need to get Jack, we’ll stay here until- Command: Negative, Teter. Proceed to the extraction point, let’s get you out of there. We’ll get another team in to recover Jackknife. Remaining members of D-15 team are successfully recovered at the access point. Remaining team members are in good health, aside from minor scrapes and bruises and signs of stress. The cell phone discovered by the D-15 team is confirmed to have belonged to one of the missing individuals, and information recovered from the device is available below. [END LOG] Addendum 3785.3: Exploration Log II + Access Addendum - Close Addendum Note: The following is an audio/video transcription of logs taken by members of the Atlanta-9 “Dirty Birds” extraction team. The ATL-9 team was prepared to extract the D-15 team in the event of a critical breakdown of the mission. The ATL-9 team was mobilized shortly after the successful extraction of the two remaining members of the D-15 team. The team consisted of three members, ATL-9 Sherman, Diego, and Junipero. [BEGIN LOG] Image taken from recovery team video recorder. ATL-9 Sherman: We have reached the clearing. Command: Roger. Jackknife’s locator is reading a distance of 400m. Be aware of the hostile, unidentified entity that attacked the D-15 team. ATL-9 Sherman: Roger. Let’s go. ATL-9 team proceeds forward quickly, following the trail identified by D-15 Teters. From Diego’s shoulder mounted camera, dim stars are visible in the sky above. In the distance, engine sounds can be faintly heard. ATL-9 Junipero: Jack? Jack, can you hear us, buddy? We’re coming to get you. D-15 Jackknife: (Muffled noises) Command: Extraction team, be advised we are receiving communications from Jackknife. ATL-9 Sherman: Roger. Image taken from recovery team video recorder. The team continues forward for several more minutes. As they come over a large hill, the power line stanchions become visible. Strung across the high tension lines are numerous figures, bound in ropes, hanging upside down by nooses from the lines. The majority of the figures are unmoving. One figure is struggling violently. At the base of the stanchion is SCP-3785-1. ATL-9 Sherman: Fuck. Alright, we need to get up that tower. (Pauses) I’m going to lead the truck away. You two get up the tower and recover Jackknife, then we’ll rendezvous back at the extraction point. Give me the heads up as soon as you’ve got him out, because I’m going to book it out of here. ATL-9 Diego: You got it. ATL-9 Sherman separates from the group. Following the crest of the hill, he moves further away from the stanchion and SCP-3785-1. As soon as ATL-9 Diego and Junipero are in position, ATL-9 Sherman lights a flare. ATL-9 Sherman: Over here, you cocksucker! There is the sound of distorted laughter and high pitched screeching as SCP-3785-1’s engine revs loudly and the entity moves away from the stanchion and towards ATL-9 Sherman. As soon as the entity is over the hill, ATL-9 Diego and Junipero move towards the stanchion and begin to scale it. As they do, the writhing figure wrapped in rope and caught in a noose above becomes more animated; in the brief instance it is visible on Diego’s camera, the eyes of D-15 Jackknife are visible, though the rest of his face is obscured by rope. As the two men climb, more of the surrounding area becomes visible. From their vantage point, the world beneath them is a single line of clearing and similar power lines amidst a world covered in dark forest. The sky above them, still black and darted with dim stars, appears to shimmer somewhat. Further away, the ground appears extremely distorted and twisted, looping up on itself and twisting over in ways that do not conform with standard geometry. Eventually, both ATL-9 Diego and Junipero reach the top of the stanchion. Using a rope to secure himself, Junipero sidles out towards Jackknife. Image taken from recovery team video recorder. ATL-9 Junipero: Hang on, Jack. Give me just a second to cut through this, and we’ll be out of here. Junipero produces a serrated knife and begins to saw at the length of rope. From Diego’s point of view, Jackknife appears to be watching Junipero intently. Below, the sound of engine revving can be heard in the trees, followed shortly afterwards by a small explosion (later determined to be a grenade thrown by ATL-9 Sherman). Suddenly, there is a low, rumbling sound with no apparent source. The power lines shake, causing Junipero to halt progress momentarily in order to maintain his grip on the line. After the rumbling ceases, Junipero continue sawing. ATL-9 Junipero: Hang on, hang on… I’ve almost… got- As ATL-9 Junipero saws through the last fibers of the rope, the noose and bindings come loose from Jackknife. The agent coughs and reaches out towards Junipero, but begins to fall upwards, away from the lines. ATL-9 Diego: Fuck! ATL-9 Junipero: Jesus Christ! Diego! ATL-9 Diego readies another length of rope and throws it towards Jackknife, missing him by a meter. The low rumbling sound is heard again, this time mixed with more distorted laughter from below them, as Jackknife continues to fall upwards. D-15 Jackknife: Holy shit! Holy shit! Help! Fuck! Help! Somebody, please, fuck! Help! Jackknife continues to ascend. From below, the distorted laughter grows louder, and is cut by a shrill, piercing sound that is vaguely feline in nature. The low rumbling begins to pulse. ATL-9 Junipero: Diego? What do we do? ATL-9 Diego: Goddammit! D-15 Jackknife: Holy shit you guys, holy shit, I can’t, I can’t- (pauses) Oh. Above the two men on the power line, the dim stars in the sky begin to change. They grow slightly brighter and twist in on themselves, revealing many thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of large, vaguely octopoid eyes that stretch from horizon to horizon. Jackknife is seen twisting around to face the sky. ATL-9 Junipero: Jack! D-15 Jackknife: I- (pauses) I’m- (pauses) it’s everywhe- Jackknife is cut short as his body distends dramatically. As it does, the eyes in the sky glow a dark red, and then Jackknife’s body comes apart suddenly. The remaining viscera continues to ascend into the sky. After a short time, the low rumbling sound subsides, as does the distorted laughter from below. ATL-9 Sherman: June, Diego, do you copy? Have you recovered Jackknife? The entity in the truck has disappeared into the woods. ATL-9 Diego: Copy. We lost Jackknife. Continue to rendezvous point, we’ll meet you there. All members of ATL-9 team recovered from within SCP-3785. Due to the hazardous conditions within SCP-3785, further manned exploration is temporarily restricted. The nature of the entity observed in the sky above SCP-3785 is unknown.

ID #: 3785.AV.16 Document Type: Video Length: 23 minutes Description: Camera light activates, and camera is close to the ground. As the camera pans up, the face of the camera person is briefly visible, but cannot be made out. The camera person moves slowly down a dirt trail for a short distance, before coming out into the clearing again. Illuminated by moonlight only, a severely distorted landscape can be seen, which appears to be a canyon of impossible geological features, crisscrossed by dirt roads that at some points twist and turn upside down in a non-Euclidian fashion. The camera moves along the top of a very steep wall of the canyon, and looks down below. No bottom is visible, but several indistinct lights can be seen moving slowly in the darkness. Suddenly, there is the short but distinct sound of a loud engine rev, and the camera jerks to the right, where an impossibly large hill is visible in the darkness. Somehow, despite the hill seeming to be larger than the entirety of SCP-3785, its entire face is visible to the camera. On top of the hill, a single pair of bright headlights sit motionless, while a fire burns nearby. Down the hill, a single humanoid figure slowly drags two other humanoid figures towards a series of nooses. The standing figure then positions the two prone figures into the nooses by their necks, and the engine revs again. As the headlights at the top of the hill begin to back away, the two prone figures begin to rise slowly. As they rise, they begin to invert and hang up instead of down1. The forms can be seen writhing and struggling. The headlights back out of view, and the individuals (now hanging upside down) continue to rise until they are above the power lines. The camera pans across to see dozens of other figures at first, and then potentially hundreds, all hanging upside down above the power lines. A male voice can be heard across the expanse of the hill, heavily distorted but clearly laughing and speaking rapidly and incoherently. The camera pans back towards the humanoid figure on the hill, which is now looking up towards the hanging figures. There is a low rumbling noise, and something happens in the sky, just off-screen. Suddenly, the figure jerks and look towards the camera. The camera pulls away quickly and the light goes out. For the next fifteen minutes of video, the only sounds that can be heard are the short, heavy breaths of the camera person, the same low pulsing sound, and the intermittent screaming of the humanoid figure.

SCP-3786 | euclid | SCP-3786 captured in a rare moment napping with its head exposed. Item #: SCP-3786 Special Containment Procedures: Entity is entirely immobilised within the former Lianggu Bioweapons Laboratory Facility due to its sheer mass and locomotive limitations. It is to be fed twice daily with 250 kilograms of starch-and-protein mixture, with nutritional ratios adjusted accordingly. Medical and behavioural checkups must be conducted once every six months by a Foundation cryptozoologist. Description: SCP-3786 designates an amorphous mammalian organism located within the former Lianggu Bioweapons Laboratory facility near ██████████, in the Heilongjiang province of China. Due to its sheer size, detailed measurements of the organism's size and weight have been impossible. Ground-penetrating radar and thermal imagery estimate that it occupies the entire first floor of the facility along with an undetermined number of its sub-basements, with an estimated weight of ██,███,███ kilograms. Despite its physical abnormalities, SCP-3786 is genetically identifiable as a domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris. Unlike non-anomalous dogs, SCP-3786 is primarily characterised by its ability to rapidly reconfigure its skeletomuscular and organ tissues to fill available space. This functions as its main mode of locomotion through the facility as it generates and retracts its mass. Owing to the extraordinary metabolism rate required for this activity, SCP-3786 maintains a consistently high body temperature of 50-60 degrees Celsius; periods of high activity, such as when giving chase to prey, can cause its temperature to spike even higher, to the extent of heating its habitat's surroundings to a recorded high of 87 degrees Celsius. SCP-3786 is believed to be moderately intelligent and self-aware of its anomalous properties. Upon initial encounter, it was observed using its knowledge of the facility's extensive tunnels and ventilation systems to ambush Foundation agents, retreating from sight when observed. When the opportunity arises, SCP-3786 can attack by manifesting its head and delivering powerful bites to the prey's flanks or the throat, causing death within seconds or minutes. However, it seems to avoid using this method, likely due to the possibility of exposing its single head to harm. Instead, most prey is incapacitated by strangulation via engulfing, a process that spares more mobile or aggressive prey but seems to be more energy-efficient for SCP-3786. The former Lianggu Bioweapons Laboratory Facility circa 1985. The exact origins of SCP-3786 are unknown. The Lianggu Bioweapons Laboratory Facility was known to have been constructed sometime between 1936 and 1941 under the supervision of the Imperial Japanese Army's 異常事例調査局 / Ijō Jirei Chōsa-kyoku (en: Anomalous Matters Examination Agency) following the occupation of Manchuria. Surviving files indicate that the facility was known to the IJA as a canine breeding and training facility, albeit with certain special logistical requirements: a 1942 invoice detailed the delivery of "sealed marine organism tissue samples", 300 "Congolese dog eggs", and 200 litres of [REDACTED]. The facility appears to have been unknown to Chinese authorities until 1961, when a review of declassified war documents revealed the existence of previously-unknown IJA facilities surrounding Harbin. Investigating the ruins, the first contact team likely encountered SCP-3786 shortly after entering the main laboratory building. Their remains were not found by the backup containment team. Establishing a regular supply of nutrition has since significantly calmed SCP-3786's aggressive tendencies. When well-fed, SCP-3786 is largely sedentary, enjoying the occasional chasing of small mammals released into the containment area. Since then, SCP-3786 has been effectively domesticated through extensive interactions with Foundation cryptozoologists, and responds to the name 小胖 / Xiǎo Pàng1.

All observed changes to the properties of this anomaly will appear as addenda materials. Only the most recent version of this anomaly's containment procedures is viable. The original 30 June 2021 documentation is as follows. ▷ Access Archived Containment Procedures ◁ △ Retract Archived Containment Procedures △ SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES [OUTDATED] Foundation personnel within the Parazoology Division currently operate in various tiers of the U.S. equine industry. This measure exists to ensure: That horse breeding continues as a controlled element. That further progression of the anomaly can be mitigated. Analysts are to track domesticated horse populations for anomalous behaviours such as uncharacteristic or unprovoked aggression, deviance from feeding habits, and deviance from natural breeding cycles. Known feral horse populations are to be monitored for abnormal activity. To maintain the well-being of baseline horses, personnel are to avoid sterilization efforts within current populations and any restrictive actions taken to manage overpopulation. Instead, personnel are to disperse hormonal agent 762988-16-7 within horse populations. 762988-16-7 targets horse endocrine systems to promote docility and extend breeding cycles. No known means of containing SCP-3787-ε exist at present. The Site-82 Operations Command Office is, however, accepting containment initiatives. KETER-Class remains the classification of this anomaly until satisfactory levels of containment are met. Description: SCP-3787 is a deviance to the natural behaviour of domesticated and free-roaming horse (Equus ferus caballus) populations in the Southern and Southwestern United States. SCP-3787 manifests as a gestation period 8–10 times more rapid than the baseline horse-breeding cycle. Within affected mares, the baseline gestation period of 11–12 months shortens to 30–45 days from conception to birth. As a result, up to 10 times as many foals are born. Growth rates of this size are unsustainable and constitute a significant risk to the equine industry's ability to maintain control. This breeding cycle does not adversely affect pregnant mares or resultant newborn foals. Newborn foals exhibit physiological properties similar to their non-anomalous counterparts. Foals also develop within pregnant mares despite lacking the necessary sustenance over the accelerated developmental period. SCP-3787-1 is an anomalous increase in horse aggression in free-roaming horse populations. Examples of aggression include: Unprovoked hostilities toward horses outside a constituent pack. The active killing of most or all members of a feral horse pack by that pack's dominant stallion. The cannibalization of foals as a show of dominance. Horses displaying SCP-3787-1 behaviour while hunting for prey. Image captured remotely. (Hover to enlarge.) Increase in horse hostility has also extended into normal horse feeding patterns. Feral horse packs affected by this anomaly perform organized attacks on other wildlife, escalating to a point in which affected horses ignore herbivorous feeding habits. These attacks occur even though horse jaw structures and digestive systems are biologically unsuited for meat consumption. This manner of aggression has contributed to the advancement of horses to the top of the food chain in many areas. SCP-3787-1 began in newborn foals affected by SCP-3787. It has since transferred to an unknown number of horse populations of various ages, according to a geometric infection model. In addition, this anomaly has developed in the same period and area as a memetic form of equinophobia, designated SCP-3787-ε.. equinophobia: An irrational fear of horses. SCP-3787-ε is an intense fear of horses in humans without previous basis to do so. Researchers hypothesize SCP-3787-ε manifested because of a marked increase of horse population numbers, which caused an increase of equine concepts in the human consciousness. Persons may be unaware they have been affected by this anomaly until their re-exposure to the concept of horses through forms of media or personal conversations that reference horses. SCP-3787-ε occurs in suburban areas, urban centres, and within populations far from rural communities. More specifically, SCP-3787-ε occurs within populations with little access to the equine.. Domesticated stud farms are an example of a resource unreachable to populations in these kinds of communities. Populations interested in thoroughbred horseracing remain unaffected An estimated 750 000 persons within the continental United States have contracted this anomaly. ADDENDA MATERIALS I. SCP-3787 Update On 30 June 2021, Foundation efforts to reduce the heightened equine birth rate were successful. The median horse gestation period levelled out to ~1.5 times the baseline. In the 2 months since detecting the anomaly, more than 450 000 new horses were born in the United States alone. On 12 July, Parazoology Division personnel observed what they hypothesized was an anomalous illness spreading throughout domesticated horse populations. Horses affected by this illness experienced a period of acute stress and entered a comatose state. In 18% of instances, affected horses later expired. An estimated 37% of horses in the Southern and Southwestern United States have been afflicted with this illness. As of 29 August, research efforts into a vaccine have proved ineffective. II. Project: DIRE HORSE The accelerated spread of this illness has caused the death of ~1.1 million horses in the United States. In response, Site-82 — in conjunction with the Scientific Department — has published two reports on Project: DIRE HORSE to the IntSCPFN network. ▷ Project: DIRE HORSE ◁ △ Close △ SUMMARY OF PROJECT: DIRE HORSE Project: DIRE HORSE outlines the production of a significant horse population and the dissemination of this new population across the United States. This is to be conducted to mitigate the ongoing loss of horse populations and produce a phenotype resistant to the effects of the anomalous illness. To achieve this goal, DIRE HORSE has employed the use of Ashleigh's Fields: A cattle farm in Newton News, Montana. Ashleigh's Fields has been working under the Foundation front company Stratford Cattle Productions since 2010. Ashleigh's Fields uses an industrial farming facility responsible for the mass production of synthetic livestock in place of modern farming techniques. Ashleigh's Fields factory farm. (Hover to enlarge.) DIRE HORSE will use the Rimmer–Lister Hippological Simulacrum (or RLHS) prototype. The RLHS can produce 500 artificially grown adult horses (or 1 000 foals) per 6-hr period, within 99.91% genetic similarity of their natural counterparts. Horses produced by the RLHS undergo behavioural engineering and memetic hardening to reduce the potential effects of an SCP-3787-1 spread into its population. In a runaway equine extinction event, the RLHS and its sentinel facility at Ashleigh's Fields can store up to 100 000 stable horses in cryogenic storage for up to a decade. To reduce general awareness of the full spread of the equine illness, DIRE HORSE is to promptly begin replacing horse populations in 35 U.S. states. Any expired horses affected by SCP-3787 are to be collected and transported to Site-41 Mnestic Production Facility-Aleph for decommissioning. ▷ Procedure MNEMOSYNE ◁ △ Close △ THE ANTIMEMETICS DIVISION DECOMMISSIONING REPORT This file is classified under Level-4/3787 clearance. Unauthorized access is forbidden. PROJECT: DIRE HORSE Site-41, Facility-Aleph. (Hover to enlarge.) To prevent environmental contamination, expired SCP-3787-affected horses are undergoing decommissioning, detailed as follows. A network of Foundation web crawlers is to conduct mass media blackouts by purging any verified news reports on SCP-3787. Foundation personnel planted in the U.S. equine industry are to track all areas affected by mass die-offs. Expired horses identified during this process are to be removed from affected areas on an immediate basis and transported to Site-41, Facility-Aleph, for neutralization. A randomized pool of 1 500 expired horses is to be stored for future testing. Neutralization efforts will operate with the end goal of destroying all expired horses affected by SCP-3787. Per Procedure MNEMOSYNE, destroyed subjects are to be broken down into multi-component slurry to begin the transformation into Class-W Mnestics[A] material.. A primary component of modern mnestics is an admixture of various parts of horse anatomy. Marness, L. (1976). Glue Huffing and Dutch Occultism: Why the Best Bad Ideas Are Seldom Forgotten.

Incident Report 41-Aleph-2021-246 On 3 September, hostile anomalous entities attempted to force access into Site-41, Facility-Aleph, during Procedure MNEMOSYNE. A transcript of the encounter is as follows. ▷ Incident Report 41-Aleph-2021-246 ◁ △ Close △ VIDEO LOG NOTE: Because of the high volume of antimemetic anomalies on-site, all cameras at Site-41 are outfitted with a Mariotte-Pashler antimemetic perception filter. For identification purposes, anomalies corresponding with this description are outlined in red. [BEGIN LOG | 01:04 AM] [A large wheel-shaped anatomical mass (automatically marked in red) appears near Site-41. The anatomical structure disables a surveillance pylon at 55 km/hr. Security alarms whine and the mass charges toward nearby Facility-Aleph.] [Mobile Task Force Chai-10 (“Oxygenated Morons”), a three-member fast-insertion unit operating a light strike vehicle (or LSV) outfitted with an M2 heavy machine gun, approaches the pylon to investigate. The mass notices the task force and mimics freezing behaviour, whinnying as it shudders.] CH-10-Lead GARTER: Easy there, girl. You're a stunner, aren't you? CH-10 CASSIUS: Who are you talking to? CH-10-Lead GARTER: [He groans.] Turn on your filter, dumbass. Things are about to get hairy. CH-10 CASSIUS: [He fumbles with his gear before activating a filter in his helmet.] Holy shit! CH-10 AZALEA: Can our weapons even hit that thing? [She hesitates.] I mean, it's antimemetic, and the ammo's not spell-coated or anything. What if it passes right through? [The mass slowly transforms into a ball and expands.] CH-10-Lead GARTER: Clever hypothesis, AZALEA. [He chuckles.] Well? Find out for us, will you? [AZALEA fires at the mass and punctures its outer layer, which emits loud equine vocalizations. A tan equine entity separates from the larger mass and gallops toward the task force.] CH-10 AZALEA: I'll consider that debunked. [She repositions the M2 and focuses on the entity.] [CASSIUS reverses the vehicle and circles the mass in a broad arc. The entity matches velocities and chases the unit for an extended period, then latches itself onto the back of the LSV. The larger mass remains stationary.] [AZALEA expels 150 rounds at the entity. The entity breaks apart into smaller portions that each continue to animate, implanting themselves into various places on the vehicle to squeeze inside.] [The LSV ceases operation.] CH-10-Lead GARTER: All right, everybody out. Let's hole ourselves up before that thing decides to attack. [MTF-Chai-10 exits the LSV and travels into cover and out of frame. The visible entity squeezes the rest of its body into the vehicle. Equine vocalizations continue.] [Soon after, the larger mass reaches a diameter of about 3 m and moves again, this time rolling toward Facility-Aleph at an immense speed. It collides with the facility, causing structural damage and disabling the video feed. Audio surveillance continues.] [Site systems log the activation of an automated anti-intrusion and disorientation system, illuminating the area with high-powered 1 000-watt floodlights.] [Audio surveillance registers a sharp equine vocalization — loud at first, but eventually receding into silence.] [END LOG | 01:26 AM] CLOSING REMARKS: The next morning, site security launched an investigation on the premises. Security personnel found the equine entity trapped within the LSV, its form blackened and shrivelled — neutralized by prolonged exposure to intense light. Foundation cryptozoologists have launched an investigation into these newly discovered equine entities. IV. Investigation ARCHIVIST'S NOTE: This conclusion was derived based on the short time span between the conclusion of Project: DIRE HORSE and 3787-N appearances near common horse populations. Foundation personnel specializing in antimemetics training have noted the emergence of large numbers of antimemetic equine entities. These entities, designated 3787-N, appear en masse as a direct result of extended Foundation efforts to control U.S. horse population numbers. A comprehensive description of these entities is as follows. ▷ Description of 3787-N ◁ △ Close △ 3787-N DESCRIPTION 3787-N is a collective of predatory, semi-humanoid equine entities. Each 3787-N instance is composed of malleable cartilage integrated with groupings of musculature typical of horses. One defining feature is its horse-like cranium, which consists of a muzzle capable of equine vocalizations. Naturally occurring braided horsehair is present in the form of a mane and tail. Each strand of hair is autonomous; 3787-N efforts to control hair movement often appear laboured, and seem unsuccessful. Though 3787-N possesses dull, rounded teeth, it has been observed to engage in carnivorous activities and consume humans — albeit rarely. Instead of feeding for sustenance, instances choose to hunt for recreation. All 3787-N appendages are capable of contorting, elongating, and wrapping around themselves. In acts of defence, 3787-N will balloon its body outward. Instances will also mount one another, combining in tandem with the formation of wheel-like anatomical structures to use their collective body mass as a moving vehicle. When this occurs, velocities of up to 150 km/hr have been observed. Sightings of 3787-N occur in nocturnal settings. 3787-N is a pack predator, appearing in groups ranging between five and 50 instances. These groups typically manifest near domestic or thoroughbred horse farms and feral horse packs. 3787-N display a strong revulsion to most forms of visible light and experience physical damage on exposure. The Task Forces Commander at Site-82 advises any personnel in the vicinity of 3787-N instances to carry any form of light-based weaponry available. No other means of damaging 3787-N have been observed at present. Containment analysts at Site-82 have come to infer a complex relationship among the appearances of 3787-N and previous equine anomalies. Analysts conclude that the emergence of increased equine aggression and accelerated birth rates was, in part, a widespread anomalous defence mechanism tailored toward the repulsion of 3787-N. Current reports show that this behaviour has almost reversed, in part because of the emergence and influence of 3787-N — which horses now act subservient toward. Since the appearance of 3787-N, horses in the United States have deviated from their typical behaviour.. Horses produced by Project: DIRE HORSE have, however, maintained their designed behaviour. Almost all observed horse populations display SCP-3787-1 and attack humans, causing civilian casualties beyond Foundation control. In areas with a significant volume of horses displaying SCP-3787-1, domesticated and feral horses alike have begun a mass transit to an as-yet unconfirmed area in the American Southwest, led by groups of 3787-N. How the two groups communicate is now under active investigation. 3787-N have directed efforts toward constructing a large equine-centric locale composed of both horses and 3787-N populations. Contact by any non-equine populations has led to confrontational behaviour on the part of 3787-N. Foundation personnel managing the effects of SCP-3787 also face aggression. In some instances, personnel have undergone bodily transfiguration into horses via inexplicable means. V. Further Actions Taken Mobile Task Force Pi-5 (“Glue Factory”) has formed to repel the attacks of 3787-N. Each member of Pi-5 is trained to deal with antimemetic anomalies and is assigned a strict Class-W Mnestic prescription. A summary of Pi-5, Alpha Platoon, is as follows. Forty combat operatives with light-based weaponry such as the 1 000-watt N-62A Laser Optics Pistol, the 2 000-watt G1A Tactical Solid-state Laser Rifle, and the prototype 30 000-watt Basov-Prokhorov RX-7Z Hard-Light Heavy Rifle (“Nulltaker”). 4 000-lumen flashlights and interfaces with night vision and blue-light eye protection lenses. Fifteen Polaris MV800 All-Terrain Vehicles outfitted with Light Reconnaissance Laser Optic gun platforms. Ten Chenowth Utility Terrain Vehicles. Four SL/SX Support Drones fitted with Mariotte-Pashler antimemetic perception filters. Despite the formation of Pi-5, the full containment of 3787-N and any related anomalies is not yet possible because of their widespread nature. The Foundation is now directing efforts toward reducing the fear of horses. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3787" by Lt Flops, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3788 | safe | SCP-3788 Item #: SCP-3788 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3788 is kept in a standard Safe locker and fitted with a trigger lock. Entities emerging from SCP-3788 are to be stored in liquid ammonia tanks upon manifestation for preservation. Following Incident 3788-G, testing with SCP-3788 is suspended. Description: SCP-3788 is a plastic water gun containing a spatial anomaly. The screw cap for its tank is sealed shut, and attempts to thread cameras through SCP-3788's nozzle result in the camera viewing the inside of SCP-3788's empty tank. When SCP-3788 is pumped and fired, a high pressure jet of liquid ammonia is emitted from the nozzle as long as the trigger is held down. This liquid also contains dissolved methanol, formaldehyde, acetic acid, and various salts, as well as unidentified unicellular organisms based on organometallic polymers and enamine chains. These organisms are radically distinct from all known Earth-native life. Continued use of SCP-3788 to provide fresh microbial samples for research occasionally results in the ejection of unidentified fish-like organisms1; these creatures uniformly possess six ocular organs, three limbs, and a biochemistry similar to the microbes. Incident 3788-G: After four months of testing, SCP-3788 ejected a large (35 m long) metallic vehicle, resembling a submarine. Upon opening the vehicle's hatch, eight sapient, tripedal, sunfish-like organisms emerged, and quickly lost consciousness due to the atmospheric shock. The organisms were preserved in liquid ammonia tanks until they recovered, and the vehicle inspected. Pictographs within the vehicle, as well as limited translation of the organisms' language, suggests they originate from Saturn's moon Titan. Footnotes 1. Nonliquids ejected from SCP-3788 manifest instantaneously just outside the nozzle with the same velocity as the liquid. |
SCP-3789 | euclid | The Atacama Trench, represented by the dark blue line. Item #: SCP-3789 Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP-3789's remote location, direct containment has been deemed unnecessary. Any planned expeditions to the bottom of the Atacama Trench by civilian organizations are to be discouraged. Description: SCP-3789 is a previously undiscovered, non-biological species found in the Atacama Trench, composed of basalt granules held together by thin tendrils of unknown composition. SCP-3789 instances have a shape similar to that of the lion's mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata), and vary in length from 14m to over 55m. Attempts to capture live specimens of SCP-3789 have so far failed. Even when pressurized containers are used, SCP-3789 instances always lose cohesion during ascent and decompose into dust once the depth reaches above 7.5-8 km below sea level. SCP-3789's tendrils and bell are luminescent, and glow blue. SCP-3789 instances appear to communicate with each other via contact between their tentacles, which causes visible sparks to appear. SCP-3789 possesses several visible mouths near the ends of each arm, all lined with concentric rows of small, rounded stones analogous to teeth. SCP-3789 appears to feed sporadically by extending its arms at least 10m deep into the sediment floor. Additionally, some SCP-3789 instances possess large ovoid structures on the tips of several of their arms. The purpose of these is unknown. Addendum 3789-01: During the most recent sighting, a group of SCP-3789 instances began moving erratically and scattering. The structures on the tips of their arms began to glow brightly, and the seafloor shook. A large fissure opened in the seafloor, and a massive creature approximately 35m long emerged. This creature was chelonian in shape, composed of magma and rock, and its shell was punctured in several places. This creature swam towards the group of SCP-3789, and a 10m long tooth, later determined to be composed of an iron-nickel mixture, fell out of one of the entity's puncture wounds. Several SCP-3789 instances attempted to strike this entity with their arm structures, causing several explosions. Electrical discharges and shockwaves from these attacks damaged most recording equipment, but the two remaining cameras managed to record the chelonian entity taking hold of two SCP-3789 instances in its mouth. Both instances ceased all motion and the chelonian entity dragged them into the fissure with it. The fissure sealed shortly afterward. Analysis found traces of several chemical explosives in the water near the incident. Efforts to track and identify the chelonian entity, tentatively designated SCP-3789-1, using seismic wave analysis are underway. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3789" by Weryllium, from the SCP Wiki.

Special Containment Procedures: The door into the stairwell leading to SCP-3790 is to be padlocked at all times, and a single guard is to be posted nearby to ensure no individuals enter SCP-3790. By order of the Overseer Council, entry into SCP-3790 is forbidden. Description: SCP-3790 is a structure located beneath the abandoned Port Superior Canning Company warehouse in London, United Kingdom. The only access to this space is down a narrow stairwell that ends in a short black door. The door is free of identifying markings save for a small metal placard just above the door handle that reads "SCP Foundation Department of Abnormalities". _ The remainder of this file has been locked by O5 order.Lock Overridden The interior of SCP-3790 consists of several descending levels, each consisting of a hallway containing four doors, two per side, and a grated freight elevator at the far end of the corridor leading to the lower levels. While there is evidence of prior human activity within SCP-3790, the structure appears to have been abandoned for a considerable amount of time. Each of the doors is a solid, heavy metal door with a sliding panel covering a small glass viewport into the dimly lit chamber beyond. The doors, some of which are rusted but otherwise undamaged, have at some point in the past had their handles and unlocking mechanisms removed, and have been welded shut. The only distinguishing marks on these doors are small metal placards located just beneath the sliding panel. These placards usually bear what is believed to be the designation for the contents of the chamber, though in some cases the placards have been removed or are damaged. A clipboard holding a legal pad hangs on the back of the main access door. Several pages appear to have been torn away from the pad. The frontmost intact piece of paper contains a list of names and a short note. The remainder of the pages are irrelevant. _ + Show Clipboard Text- Hide Clipboard Text Think it's about time.

SCP-3791 | safe | Item #: SCP-3791 Special Containment Procedures: The access code to SCP-3791 is to be split into three equal sections and stored in safes 13, 77, and 95 at Site-01. Knowledge of the full code is to be limited to personnel directly authorized by an O5 Council member. No current or former members of MTF Alpha-1 ("Red Right Hand") are to be permitted entry into SCP-3791. Frequency of amnestic treatments is to be considered a critical risk factor when assessing individuals for access to SCP-3791. No personnel are to be allowed access on any third day of the month of November. Any information acquired within SCP-3791 is to be processed at CSUM-4.1 No textual or visual records are to be created within SCP-3791 without direct permission of an O5 Council member. All records are to be destroyed following standard processing procedures. All personnel are to be treated with Class-A amnestics following exposure to SCP-3791. The draft letter within SCP-3791 is to remain under a 10 cm thick plate of steel. This plate is to be further secured to the desk by heavy chains and padlocks. The keys to this apparatus are to be stored in safe 46 at Site-01. Description: SCP-3791 is room 1699 of Decommissioned Facility-US61, a component structure of a former Site-01 iteration. It measures 4.5 m x 5.5 m, is linked to the outside hallway via a steel door, and has a single window to the exterior of the facility. The door is locked with an electronic keypad significantly more advanced than was mandated by security protocols at the time of the facility's construction. The office does not appear on any archived blueprints and the identity of all former occupants remains unknown. Objects originating within SCP-3791 have proven unresponsive to all tested methods of interaction. SCP-3791 exhibits a temporal anomaly anchored specifically to November 3, 1972 at 4:32 PM (hereafter referred to as the anchor point.) Electronic devices brought into SCP-3791 display the anchor point as the current time and date, as well as the time and date of all contained files' creation and most recent edits. Mechanical clocks are similarly affected. Physical calendars brought into SCP-3791 are altered such that all contained dates and times match the anchor point. While inside the office, individuals tend to believe that the current time and date match the anchor point but do not resist reminders to the contrary. Individuals within SCP-3791 experience perfect recollection of memories formed between approximately 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM on any given November 3. This effect bypasses most low-grade pharmaceutical and hypnotic amnestic treatments. Memories recalled in this fashion persist indefinitely after exiting SCP-3791. Access to SCP-3791 has been restricted given the significant security, containment, and mental health risks posed by this effect. A possible world state at the anchor point exists inside SCP-3791, and extends to all observable points outside the office when viewed from within. Through the doorway, the shadow of an individual can be seen cast against the opposite wall. The intensity of the shadow suggests that the facility's emergency lights have been activated. A single cell thunderstorm can be observed in progress through the window, typified by light rainfall and incomplete cloud cover. Four covered trucks and 35 armed personnel are visible in the plaza below, all bearing markings of Foundation Internal Security (later re-organized as MTF Alpha-1). No record exists of an FIS deployment matching this time and location. Addendum 3791-A (Contents of SCP-3791): One desk, three chairs, two cabinets, one lamp. All furniture is from the limited run of designer Christian Danbrook's Executive Style, Executive Feel collection. Two fountain pens and matching inkwell. Make and model unknown. Three red folders. The first is labeled "Yearly Procedure Reviews: 400-500." The second is labeled "PEARBLOSSOM-11 Project Proposal." The third is labeled "Emergency Protocol LATERAL NADIR." One draft letter. Classified as a level-5 cognitohazard. One broken snowglobe. The plaque describes it as 'The Howling Pillar'2 (LOI-913). One Foundation-issued coffee mug. One Foundation-issued bottle of Glenmore Kentucky Bourbon (empty). Addendum 3791-B (Research Proposals): Proposal: Test the mnestic properties of SCP-3791 on individuals treated with Class-A amnestics to more accurately assess effect potency and the extent of security risks. Status: Approved by Project Lead A. Carias. Denied by order of the O5 Council. Proposal: Employ TRSSI-suite from within SCP-3791 to more accurately understand the context of the anchor point. Employ facial recognition software to identify individuals visible from SCP-3791 for the purpose of establishing event veracity. Status: Approved by Project Lead A. Carias. Denied by order of the O5 Council. Proposal: Analyze trace skin and hair samples within SCP-3791 to facilitate the identification of former occupants. Status: Approved by Project Lead A. Carias. Denied by order of the O5 Council. All future research proposals are to undergo an OEPD-compliant cost-benefit analysis and receive direct approval from the Decommissioned Facilities Director prior to official consideration. Proposals must be further supported by at least four Senior Researchers of related departments. Proposals Pending: 0 Addendum 3791-C (Text of Draft Letter): PROJECT [ERROR: PROJECT NOT FOUND] ACCESS REQUIRED. O5 OVERRIDE ACCEPTED. From the desk of [DATA EXPUNGED] Office of Oversight and Administration, Site-01 November 3, 1972 To my treasured All Foundation personn To whom it may concern, A great travesty has been carried out this day. I, and you, have been betrayed by There are few things I have ever regretted. The thought of the greater good quells many I fear we have lost something important in our quest for the greater good. We became inclined to leap to action, accepting inevitable mistakes as necessary losses.

SCP-3792 | safe | Instance of SCP-3792-1 under illumination mid-formation. Item #: SCP-3792 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3792 is enclosed within a hermetically sealed cylinder composed of acrylic plastics. This container is held in a locker located in Site-77's Safe SCP object wing. Any research on SCP-3792 is subject to approval by the lead researcher, Dr. Gerard. It is not believed that SCP-3792 has any damage-resistant properties; as such, care is to be taken when handling it directly. Description: SCP-3792 is an aerosol can capable of producing an unlimited quantity of black smoke. The exterior label reads "Smells Like Chicago Spirit"; other than this, there are no identifying marks on any portion of the canister. When used, smoke produced by SCP-3792 will form into autonomous figures. Designated SCP-3792-1, they resemble humanoid silhouettes. Their appearance lacks detail, with only basic facial features and extremities being clearly visible. Despite this, smoke in the shape of clothing and various tools may also manifest in the possession of SCP-3792-1. These have included ski masks, crowbars, glass cutters, and occasionally small unidentifiable objects for purposes such as lock-picking. Smoke from SCP-3792 generates a number of SCP-3792-1 correlating to the amount released. SCP-3792-1 collectively attempts to obtain an object desired by the last living human subject any of them individually came into physical contact with. This may reflect unconscious notions, or expressly coveted items. Directly coming into contact with an instance of SCP-3792-1 causes human subjects to report feeling as though their stomach is empty. A subsequent lack of energy or motivation has also been reported in these subjects, although it is unknown whether this correlates directly to SCP-3792's effect or a secondary non-anomalous effect caused by SCP-3792-1's effect on their lives. Following contact, all existing SCP-3792-1 will then attempt to enter the location in which the affected subject believes the object(s) of their desire is located. SCP-3792-1 can materialize as clouds of smoke which may infiltrate a building by clinging to clothing or inhabiting the inside of suitcases or other containers. In addition, SCP-3792-1 entities may enter using traditional burgling means. When unable to find any object of desire, SCP-3792-1 will intentionally initiate contact with another subject. Any of the desired object(s) coming into contact with SCP-3792-1 will be momentarily engulfed in flames. This does not destroy the object or reduce it to ash. Instead, once the flames recede affected object(s) will display a smoke-like composition similar the SCP-3792-1's appearance. SCP-3792-1 will then return to the vicinity of SCP-3792 with the affected item(s) in their possession. They will then slowly and incrementally have a small portion of their body return to SCP-3792's interior until they and any objects with their properties have demanifested entirely. If attempting to come into contact with an object which has taken on the composition of SCP-3792-1, subjects will experience immediate spontaneous combustion. If this occurs, all SCP-3792 related activity currently active will cease and all extant entities and objects will dissipate into smoke and vanish from observable space. SCP-3792 was discovered after Foundation agents in London, ON, CA, intercepted reports of spontaneous human combustion and determined relation to a suspicious newspaper advertisement. These read "SMOKEY AND THEY CANNED IT" with a listed address. Agents investigating the address discovered approximately 200 instances of SCP-3792 as well as several instances of SCP-1317. No further public advertisements have been discovered. Classified as Safe on 09/18/2009. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3792" by Anonymous, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3792.

SCP-3793 | safe | SCP-3793 Item#: SCP-3793 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3793 is to be contained in a properly plaqued containment locker on Site 62's physical media storage center. While magnetic media naturally deteriorates over a period of decades, SCP-3793 has shown no observable time-induced decay of its base materials, nor a reduced level of audio integrity and quality due to age or repeated playbacks. Nevertheless, care is advised when handling SCP-3793 due to its current state, and local temperature and humidity conditions should still be observed to prevent possible material degradation. Should SCP-3793's anomalous properties be activated by a CPLAY event, Site 62's Emergency Task Force should be deployed in two units: "Fixers", designated to quickly address sources of structural damage (fires, damaged electrical wiring, damaged piping/plumbing and subsequent floods, etc), protect and recover on-site documentation, and prevent potential containment breaches. "Toreros", designated to lure SCP-3793-2-to-5 (and consequently SCP-3793-1) into locations where the amount of damage incurred by a CPLAY event can be kept to a minimum. Personnel are advised to wear eye protection (preferably gas masks), flame-retardant clothing and moderate protective padding during a CPLAY event. Standard evacuation procedures apply if the site is flooded or incinerated. When active, SCP-3793-1 has been obversed to roam anywhere within a radius of ~15km of distance outward from SCP-3793's current position. As such, Toreros are encouraged to move SCP-3793 away from its origin point in order to force SCP-3793-1-to-5 outside of a pre-delineated risk perimeter. Description: SCP-3793 is a slightly damaged cassette tape, dating from circa 1983, containing 32 minutes of audio from an unknown early 1980s musical group called "Men of Squalor". SCP-3793's anomalous effects are manifested when its audio is reproduced by any cassette player that is allowed to perform its tracks for a time span of 2:07 minutes. Digital copies generated by the Foundation have failed to exhibit any anomalous properties, as well as any instrumental renditions of SCP-3793's contents. Mechanically faulty cassette players (leading to stuttering and skipping of audio sections) also prevent SCP-3793's anomalous effects from taking place. When SCP-3793's audio is reproduced for the amount of necessary time, a CPLAY event takes place. During an active CPLAY event, the following phenomena occurs: Audio playback of SCP-3793's contents continues up to its conclusion, at the 32 minutes mark. Attempting to pause, stop, rewind or accelerate SCP-3793 results in no audible change, despite the cassette tape being fully manipulable in a physical fashion. Removing SCP-3793 from its current cassette player or re-inserting it into a different player also produces no observable change. The audio source is unknown, as observed decibel levels remain constant throughout SCP-3793's effective radius. After approximately ~8 seconds of a CPLAY event starting, SCP-3793-1-to-5 will manifest within close vicinity of SCP-3793. SCP-3793-1-to-5 will demanifest at the end of a CPLAY event. SCP-3793-1 is the designation given to what appears to be an extensively damaged 1978 Ford Fairmont four-door sedan. Several parts of SCP-3793-1 seem to be missing or ruptured, as its hood, doors and several parts of its engine configuration are absent or broken. SCP-3793-1 constantly generates a thick billow of smoke from inside its engine, heavily obscuring SCP-3793-1 and the area immediately beside it. SCP-3793-2-to-5 refers to SCP-3793-1's occupants. SCP-3793-2-to-5 are four humanoid figures, each exhibiting varying degrees of injuries ranging from minor lacerations, to extensive eschar crusts and exposed bone tissue. Details about SCP-3793-2-to-5 have been difficult to assert, as SCP-3793-1's nature largely prevents observation, and most attempts at communication (sans perceived provocations) have been unsuccessful. Once active, each of the entities within SCP-3793-1 will engage in destructive vandalism of their immediate surroundings. SCP-3793-1 has been observed to be capable of accelerating to speeds upwards of 260KM/h, and performing maneuvers inconsistent with its expected mechanical capabilities. SCP-3793-1-to-5 seem largely unaffected by the presence of physical matter in their trajected path and are presumably incorporeal, as physical matter remains unaltered upon contact with SCP-3793-1-to-5. However, objects "produced" by SCP-3793-2-to-5 have the same physical properties of any normal iterations of those, and should be handled as such. Throughout CPLAY events, SCP-3793-2-to-5 have been shown capable of producing a wide variety of extemporaneous projectiles, and have barraged Foundation personnel with objects such as: Large arrays of glass bottles. Various types of debris, such as splintered wood, concrete batches and severed pipes. Car parts, presumably from SCP-3793-1 itself. Comestibles, such as nougats and beef jerky. Assorted electronics, such as PMP cassette players, digital watches and still cameras. Notably, SCP-3793-2-to-5 have not produced any electronics that were not commercialized before 1983. Faeces corresponding to multiple species, such as Mephitis mephitis and Phoca vitulina.1 Chemical compounds stored in assorted containers, mostly being petrochemicals.2 Memorabilia such as snow globes and matryoshka dolls. In rare circumstances, SCP-3793-2-to-5 have also been observed manipulating on-site items and employing them alongside generated objects. For the duration of a CPLAY event, SCP-3793-1-to-5 will seek to inflict escalating damage to their current environment. Due to the fact that SCP-3793-1-to-5 are seemingly incorporeal and capable of materializing a wide range of objects, it is not uncommon for SCP-3793-1-to-5 to sever and damage infrastructure and sensitive systems from within, usually by targeting (or accidentally physically displacing) cables and piping installed inside walls or at an underground level. SCP-3793-2-to-5 seemingly haven't proactively pursued life-threatening injuries to bystanders, but are thought to be sapient and respond to any perceived provocations, usually by focusing barrages on temporary targets before continuing with generalized damage. While efforts to halt or stall SCP-3793-1-to-5 have proven ineffective, drawing attention to individuals acting as lures has helped in efforts to mitigate environmental damage. Discovery: SCP-3793 was recovered by the Foundation in 1985 at the outskirts of the Fort Saint Vrain Generation Station in Platteville, Colorado. Following reports by the station's staff of unusual activity from men claiming to be security inspectors, the local police force was contacted and begun a brief investigation. Shortly after, law enforcement located and confronted a small group of people setting up an observation camp at the outskirts of the facility. Several suspects were arrested, and amongst the items recovered, SCP-3793 was found3 alongside a number of maps, floorplans and blueprints of several facilities and buildings throughout North America. Investigations on the motivations and background of this group remain inconclusive. Footnotes 1. Striped Skunk and Harbor Seal, respectively. 2. Currently, the largest observed object produced by SCP-3793-2-to-5 has been a 30lbs (13.6kg) Liquid Propane gas cylinder. 3. Chemical analysis of SCP-3793 at the time of its recovery revealed small traces of gasoline, steel and aluminum. |
SCP-3794 | safe | SCP-3794 Item #: SCP-3794 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3794 is kept within a standard item locker. Testing is currently suspended. Description: SCP-3794 is a sledgehammer that converts living tissue to pico de gallo salsa when swung with sufficient force. This salsa is not significantly different from ordinary salsas in composition, nutritional value, or taste. Tissue is converted instantly within a ~3-8 cm radius from the area directly struck by SCP-3794. Converted salsa does not adhere to the subject and slides out of the resulting depression or hole in the subject's body. Blood vessels and other structures terminate abruptly at the edge of conversion, as if cauterized. If salsa conversion causes a portion of the body to become detached, this portion will retain life functions as long as the subject does. Addendum: SCP-3794 was used on test subject's skull, resulting in conversion of entire brain and majority of skull to salsa. Despite this, the subject continued to move frantically before crudely writing "HELP" using the spilled salsa. Consumption of the salsa resulted in the death of the subject within 30 minutes. Testing halted. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3794" by Weryllium, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3794. Licensed under CC-BY-SA.

SCP-3795 | safe | Item #: SCP-3795 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3795 is kept in a standard high-value containment locker in Site 68. Testing of SCP-3795 is to be only carried out on D-Class with no prior history of animal abuse, and under no circumstances are any researchers who currently own pets to come into contact with SCP-3795. Description: SCP-3795 is a hardcover copy of the book The Genius of Dogs: How Dogs are Smarter Than You Think by Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods (Plume, 2013). In both its inert and active state, SCP-3795 is physically identical to a non-anomalous copy of the book, except that the phrase "WHO KILLED YOUR DOG?!" has been written on the copyright page in black marker. SCP-3795's anomalous properties manifest when an individual who currently owns a domestic dog (Canis familiaris) reads the phrase on the copyright page of the book. After comprehending it in its entirety, the subject will immediately lose consciousness and cannot be awoken by any means for approximately six hours. During this time, the subject's dog1 will invariably be killed by a close friend or relative of the subject who, after leaving the area in which the pet was murdered, will have no recollection of its death. SCP-3795 is able to anomalously influence the actions of the person it selects so that the dog is killed before the six hours have passed, and Foundation researchers have yet to discover a way to preemptively prevent the death of a targeted pet. After re-entering a conscious state, the subject will immediately gain knowledge of their dog's death, usually causing them great distress. The following note will then appear on their person (hereafter SCP-3795-A): YOUR DOG IS DEAD! Can YOU figure out who did it? You have 24 hours SHOW THEM THAT YOU CARE! SCP-3795-A then lists three different "clues" based on the dog selected and the nature of the murderer (e.g. when a dog was shot by a subject's mother, SCP-3795-A listed "How could she do this to you?" as a clue). If the subject successfully identifies their dog's killer within twenty-four hours and vocalizes their name using the phrase "It was [killer]!", the dog will be brought back to life unharmed; if they fail to, it remains deceased and cannot be revived after an event has concluded. After completion of an SCP-3795 event, one of the following notes appears within the vicinity of the subject: SCP-3795-B (Success) WELL DONE! You get your dog back. ENJOY! And remember… MAN'S BEST FRIEND. :) SCP-3795-C (Failure) Time is UP. Sorry, you missed your chance. Your dog is gone now. Remember… MAN'S BEST FRIEND. :( Addendum 3795.A: During trial 3795/023, SCP-3795 was tested on D-76539, a felon with a history of animal abuse directed towards dogs and cats, including a conviction related to a dogfighting charge. For the purposes of the experiment, D-76539 was temporarily given a Labrador Retriever puppy. Upon SCP-3795's activation, D-76539 appeared to momentarily experience intense pain before expiring shortly afterwards. Post-mortem analysis identified blood loss from severe laceration as the primary cause of death. Containment procedures were subsequently updated to prevent testing on subjects with abusive tendencies towards animals. Footnotes 1.

SCP-3796 | safe | Item #: SCP-3796 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3796 is to be kept in a Safe-class object locker in Site-73. No personnel are allowed to touch or otherwise play SCP-3796. Description: SCP-3796 is a 7-inch 45 single by American soul group The Bees (consisting of Ossie Floriston, Sam Brooks, Jamal Jones, and Richard Denton), and released by St. Louis based label Troubadour Records. No record of this group or this label has ever existed, however all personnel involved (studio musicians, songwriters, back-up musicians, producers, label executives, and The Bees themselves) have proven to be real individuals, who remember their time creating SCP-3796. The A-side of SCP-3796 contains a song called "The Time I Spent With All of You", written by Isaac McClintock and Ben Green. The B-side contains a song called "Tomorrows", written by McClintock, Green and an individual named Beckett Beebe, who has not been identified. Both songs are non-anomalous, consisting of standard, slow soul ballads popular at the time it was released (1966). The songs can be copied and listened to successfully without contributing to SCP-3796-1. The physical record aspect of SCP-3796 is home to a highly aggressive Class VII noncorporeal, ideatic, noosphere-based sapient personality matrix1. It is designated SCP-3796-1. According to analysis via Tolstoy Loss Rate algorithms derived from SCP-3045, observing and quantifying the memetic output of SCP-3796-1 indicates that unlike similar personality matrices found in non-anomalous objects, SCP-3796-1 is extremely complex, consisting of over 300 personality fragments corresponding to real world individuals. Testing with SCP-3796 shows that SCP-3796-1 grows via simple touch or listening.2 The sheer number of fragments comprising SCP-3796-1 and the level of noogenesis present within SCP-3796 indicates that it is the largest personality matrix ever recorded, and probably the most psychically active as well. The behavior of SCP-3796 is somewhat apian in nature, although this is not always the case. Analysis of SCP-3796-1, via introduction of D-Class personnel, indicates that most fragments within SCP-3796-1 correspond to type consistent with the audience for the record. The oldest fragments seem to be African-American teenagers from the 1960s. Gradually the newest and newest fragments correspond to Radio DJs, listeners within the broadcast radius, record shop owners, distributors, soul fans outside the original demographic, antique shop owners, and so forth. The head researchers for SCP-3796 theorize that the effect is spread to all extant copies of the record, as so to account for the large number of fragments for one object. This would be cause to track down and recall these copies, however the only additions to the matrix have originated with SCP-3796, and no other copies of the single have been identified or recovered, despite public memories indicating otherwise. There are several fragments within SCP-3796-1 that do not match up with the usual patterns of contribution, all of which exist towards the very bottom of the matrix. They include two white supremacists formerly belonging to the Ku Klux Klan, a group of five Kyrgyzstani alchemists, and a single common Western honey bee (Apis mellifera). Except for the alchemists, none of the other fragments could be conclusively identified, and all evidence points to them not existing. It is unknown what personalities exist at the exact bottom of the matrix. Although it is theorized to be personnel related to the production of SCP-3796, this cannot be measured or proven due to the large ideatic weight of SCP-3796-1 preventing accurate analysis. Although at points the mass of fragments swarm in a typically apian fashion towards a central gestalt consciousness, the apparent constant and large pain that the fragments express prevents this from happening in total. In as such, SCP-3796-1 is constantly in flux, and will occasionally lash out to nearby attack mental bystanders and attempt to convert a segment of their noospheroid based level consciousness into itself, thereby subjecting a fragment of the bystander's overall consciousness to the same pain that they express. The person is typically left unharmed save for some discomfort during this process, and a general inability to remember the past two hours. This can be abated with a small mnestic regimen. Addendum: (D-345688 was introduced to SCP-3796's containment safe and ordered to interact with it in order to ascertain the nature of the SCP-3796-1 fragments state. A record player was provided. The safe and record player were moved to a testing chamber.) D-345688: Alright, so I've opened the safe. Is this the record I'm supposed to play? Dr. Tudorsmith: That is correct. Please proceed. D-345688: Fair enough, I've seen worse. (D-345688 picks up SCP-3796 and begins to mentally interact with SCP-3796. He halts for a second following the removal.) Dr. Tudorsmith: Are you okay? D-345688: No. I'm fine. I just got a headache. Like a rush to my brain like I just stood up too fast. I'm fine. (D-345688 moves haltingly to put SCP-3796 on to the record player. After putting the needle down, he moves back hesitantly. "The Time I Spent With All of You" begins to play.) D-345688: Not bad actually. I actually was expecting worse. Not a fan of soul music, actually. (D-345688 seizes up, then begins to vocalize quickly and seemingly at random, switching voices and accents.) D-345688: No. I'm fine. I just got a headache. No. I'm fine. No. No. No. We're reaching an Omega Point. Momma, but I love this kind of music! No, no wait it's entering this reality. I just got a headache. And that was "Tomorrows" by The Bees. Great band, lotta good stuff. Very cheap. Alright The Bees, good band. I'll give you a good price on this. No. Elijah, listen to this! We're coming together, and pulling apart. Y'all didn't erase it entirely it seems! Serve the queen. Fight the other hive. Fight the other hive before it destroys us. It hurts, so much. I can't breathe. No. I need y'all to do something to this here [SLUR REDACTED] album. Can y'all manage? No. No. Everything in my body is on fire! We are the gestalt. We'll meet in the Klavern. We are the Omega Point. The singularity. This will destroy the record label totally. God, those lyrics. A-one, A-two, A-one, two, three, four. Hit that guitar Reggie! (D-345688 begins to scream.) (D-345688 slumps to the ground briefly before opening his eyes.) D-345688: Where am I? Dr. Tudorsmith? Footnotes 1. An angry, thought-based psychic spirit composed of multiple consciousness. A personality matrix consists of the psychic fragments of an object’s owner, and functions somewhat similarly to the concept of kami in Shintoism. 2. In a non-anomalous record, the personality matrix, or psychic attachment, would be inert and nonsapient, added to only by the individual self-designated as the owner. In the case of SCP-3796-1, broadcasting the songs within SCP-3796 across the radio would be enough to grow SCP-3796. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3796" by LordStonefish, from the SCP Wiki.

It is not one of the mild gods of Earth, or some weaker spirit that is bound by the strength of man’s belief. by stormbreath Item #: SCP-3797 Special Containment Procedures: As SCP-3797 does not yet exist, it does not require containment. The Temporal Anomalies Department is to build SCP-3797. They are permitted to use other SCP objects and temporal anomalies in this process, with O5 approval. Once SCP-3797 has been constructed, it is to be used once, in order to terminate SCP-3797-ARC on 0742 UTC 06/13/2015. It is then to be dismantled. Description: SCP-3797 will be a retrocausal weapon capable of terminating a target at a date in the relative past of activation. SCP-3797 will be used at least one time, at an indeterminate date in the future, to terminate SCP-3797-ARC at 0742 UTC 06/13/2015. It is currently unknown how SCP-3797 will function. SCP-3797-ARC was an apex-tier pluripotent entity. SCP-3797-ARC possessed near-omniscience, but did not possess precognitive abilities. For more information gathered from SCP-3797-ARC's dormant state, see SCP-3797-ARC's main file. At 0739 UTC 06/13/2015, SCP-3797-ARC awakened, as predicted, and began to initiate a CK-Class Restructuring Scenario. Termination was authorized in order to prevent such an event. MTF Omega-9 ("The Scrubs") and MTF Omega-12 ("Achilles Heels") attempted to terminate SCP-3797-ARC, but all such efforts were prevented by SCP-3797-ARC's reality-altering capabilities. The insignia of the Temporal Anomalies Department. At 0742 UTC 06/13/2015, several hundred instances of the Temporal Anomalies Department insignia appeared upon SCP-3797-ARC. Five seconds later, all of SCP-3797-ARC's flesh disintegrated. 72 further instances of the Temporal Anomalies Department insignia were discovered on the ground surrounding the previous location of SCP-3797-ARC. At this time, sensors employed by the Temporal Anomalies Department detected a high-energy temporal displacement originating from the future. The current prediction of future events is that the Temporal Anomalies Department will have been able to neutralize SCP-3797-ARC by placing the cause of its death after its death, preventing it from knowing of its termination and using its anomalous capabilities to prevent such an event. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3797" by stormbreath, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3798 | safe | Item#: 3798 Level2 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3798 is to be kept in a standard containment cell and left on at all times. A single camera is to be placed 1.5 meters in front of SCP-3798’s screen to monitor for any changes in the contents of SCP-3798. A microwave receiver is to be placed adjacent to SCP-3798; all signals received are to be digitally stored and copied, with copies of short-timeframe signals translated into the ISO basic Latin alphabet from standard Morse code. Description: SCP-3798 is a 1990s-era TV set with a VHS player containing a single tape of 1998’s Baby Mozart: Music Festival children’s educational film. SCP-3798 does not play any other films inserted in its player, and furthermore does not play the original contents of the tape; the tape has been proven to play normally in control tests. SCP-3798’s anomalous effects do not occur if a different version of the same tape is inserted; like other tapes, it will simply not play. SCP-3798’s anomalous effects only occur when the original Baby Mozart tape is inserted and the set is turned on. At this point, a black screen will be displayed which is occasionally interrupted by still images which appear to be from the tape, though some images have appeared which do not seem to originate from any version of Baby Mozart. SCP-3798 will also occasionally emit bursts of microwave radiation at a frequency of 1420.406 MHz.1 These emissions have only been detected while a still image is displayed on SCP-3798. The source of the emissions of radiation by SCP-3798 appears to be an undefined two-dimensional space that exists between the front plate glass and the dielectric layer of the TV set. This space only appears when the aforementioned conditions have been met. The source of this space is unclear, and it appears unresponsive to stimuli. Signals emitted by SCP-3798 are relayed in short bursts of 0.25 seconds and 1.02 seconds, which together correspond to letters and numbers in Morse code (0.25-second signal representing “dots” and 1.02-second signals representing “dashes”). In short timeframes, these codes have been shown to translate to English language sentences. A full transcript of images displayed and text received from SCP-3798 is listed in Addendum I. Addendum I: SCP-3798 image/signal transcript + View transcript - Hide transcript Foreword: The following is a log of images and text received from SCP-3798. Images and observations of the physical state of SCP-3798 are italicized, while text received in Morse code via SCP-3798’s microwave emissions is presented as regular text. Singular microwave emissions are noted in italics. <Begin Log> [03/16/0█, 05:19:22]: SCP-3798 displays a black screen. No signals present.

Item #: SCP-3799 Special Containment Procedures: No access to Crozier Island is permitted, for either staff or civilians. The Foundation currently enforces a no-fly zone around Crozier Island, and several Foundation craft patrol the perimeter for any unwanted intruders. Any unauthorised personnel, be they civilian or staff, attempting to enter are to be issued with the appropriate amnestics to erase any unusual knowlege or interest in SCP-3799. Description: SCP-3799 is a perfect sphere composed entirely of snow and with a circumference of exactly 6 metres. SCP-3799 is suspended without visible means of support at a height of 500 metres over Crozier Island, Greenland. Crozier Island is the location of Site-799, a site devoted to experimental research. Contained within SCP-3799 is SCP-3799-1, the corpse of an adult male human wearing what appears to be an unknown variant of a Foundation uniform. SCP-3799-1's right arm protrudes out of SCP-3799, and was formerly holding a number of documents which have since been recovered. The cause of death of SCP-3799-1 is believed to have been from blood loss, apparently the result of self-inflicted wounds to the wrists. Scans of SCP-3799 show that it posesses an abnormally low Hume field. Attempts to penetrate or harm SCP-3799 or SCP-3799-1 have all resulted in failure. SCP-3799 first appeared on 24/12/1987, during an experiment in Site-799 forming part of Project [FURTHER INFORMATION EXPUNGED ON ORDER OF O5-█]. FURTHER INFORMATION RESTRICTED TO THE O5 COUNCIL AND AUTHORISED PERSONNEL ONLY WELCOME, OVERSEER The following documents are those recovered from SCP-3799-1. They are apparently 5 iterations of the file for SCP-3799, although no such iterations have ever been found in the Foundation's database. Because of the sensitive information contained in these documents, their contents are restricted to the O5 Council and specifically authorised personnel only. The information contained within these documents has caused Project Midwinter to be immediately discontinued, and the present containment measures to be implemented. Document 3799-1 Document 3799-2 Document 3799-3 Document 3799-4 Document 3799-5 A still image from Site-799 during SCP-3799 Item #: SCP-3799 Special Containment Procedures: No access to Crozier Island is permitted, for either staff or civilians, with the exception of the research team at Site-799. Several Foundation craft are to patrol the perimeter for any unwanted intruders. Any unauthorised personnel, be they civilian or staff, attempting to enter Crozier Island are to be issued with the appropriate amnestics to erase any unusual knowlege or interest in SCP-3799. All members of the research team at Site-799 are to remain within Site-799. Food and other necessary supplies are to be delivered to them remotely. Members of the research team are only to be allowed to remain on site for 2 months in any one stretch, and must take a holiday of at least 1 month in an area with low precipitation before being allowed to return to active duty. Any personnel exhibiting cognitohazardous symptoms thought to originate from prolonged exposure to SCP-3799-1 are to be quarantined and removed from Site-799 immediately. Description: SCP-3799 is a meteorological phenomenon affecting Crozier Island, Greenland. The island and an area stretching 0.5km away from it are perpetually undergoing precipitation of a substance identical to snow on a molecular level but which displays significant anomalous properties. This substance is known as SCP-3799-1. SCP-3799-1 contains a significant cognitohazardous effect to individuals in the immediate vicinity of large quantities of SCP-3799-1, or who observe SCP-3799-1 for long periods of time. The cognitohazard causes the affected subjects to develop an obsessive interest in the substance, apparently attributing to it feelings of intense joy, contentment, and enlightenment. There is currently no known way to counteract these effects. The effect does not fade over time, and in some subjects appears to have intensified. Research into a cure is ongoing. SCP-3799 first appeared on 24/12/1987, during an experiment in Site-799 forming part of Project [FURTHER INFORMATION REDACTED ON ORDER OF O5-█]. 14 people were affected by SCP-3799-1 before workable containment procedures were implemented. Currently, Site-799 is to be used only for research into SCP-3799, as well as possible ways to counter its effects. The current project lead is Dr. Simon Kells, a specialist in cognitohazardous anomalies. Addendum 3799-1: On 08/02/1991, researchers at Site-799 reported that 3 personnel had gone missing since the events of 24/12/1987. It should be noted that the area of SCP-3799's effect has increased by 3 metres since that time. An example of SCP-3799-1 Item #: SCP-3799 Special Containment Procedures: Site-799 is to be evacuated as soon as possible. As there is no known way to prevent SCP-3799, and SCP-3799-1 is apparently impermeable, effective containment is presently impossible. Foundation vessels are to patrol around SCP-3799's area of effect at a distance of 3km. Beyond personnel involved in the evacuation of Site-799, no personnel are to be allowed access to SCP-3799's area of effect. All members of the research team at Site-799 are to remain within Site-799. They are not to leave under any circumstances prior to the evacuation. Food and other necessary supplies are to be delivered to them remotely. Any personnel exhibiting cognitohazardous symptoms thought to originate from prolonged exposure to SCP-3799-1 are to be quarantined immediately. Several samples of SCP-3799-1 have been taken to Site 3150. Personnel are not to make direct skin contact with SCP-3799-1. All personnel must wear standard-issue hazmat suits if they wish to perform experiments involving SCP-3799-1. Description: SCP-3799 is a meteorological phenomenon affecting an area of approximately 6 km2, centred around Crozier Island, Greenland. This area is perpetually undergoing precipitation of a substance identical to snow on a molecular level but which displays significant anomalous properties. This substance is known as SCP-3799-1. SCP-3799-1 contains a significant cognitohazardous effect to individuals in the immediate vicinity of large quantities of SCP-3799-1, or who observe SCP-3799-1 for long periods of time. The cognitohazard causes the affected subjects to develop an obsessive interest in the substance, apparently attributing to it feelings of intense joy, contentment, and enlightenment. This leads to an eventual belief that activating SCP-3799-1's corrosive properties (see below) will result in a form of "transcendence", or a "destruction of lower functions". The meaning of these statements is rather ambiguous and vague, with affected subjects unwilling to discuss them further. There is currently no known way to counteract these effects. The effect does not fade over time, but rather intensifies in all subjects over an extended period. Research into a cure is ongoing, but it has been found that inflicting extreme pain and/or blood loss does have a delaying effect on the intensification of the cognitohazard. SCP-3799-1 possesses a corrosive property if it comes into contact with human cadavers. It gradually converts the cadaver into SCP-3799-1 by altering the subject on a molecular level. Subjects affected by SCP-3799-1's effects will feel compelled to immerse themselves in SCP-3799-1 within 48 hours of first developing symptoms, in order to expire through hypothermia and thus activate its effects. SCP-3799 first appeared on 24/12/1987 1944 1928, prompting the conversion of the long-abandoned Site-799 into a dedicated site for researching SCP-3799. SCP-3799's area of effect initially increased at a rate of 1m2 for every individual who expired due to contact with SCP-3799-1, but since 1968 1952, it has been increasing at a rate of 1 kilometre per expiration. Due to discrepancies in the documentation pertaining to Site-799 , it is believed that [FURTHER INFORMATION REDACTED ON ORDER OF O5-█]. Currently, Site-799 is to be used only for research into SCP-3799, as well as possible ways to counter its effects. The current project lead is Dr. Simon Kells, a specialist in cognitohazardous anomalies. Addendum 3799-1: As of 23/09/2017, SCP-3799's area of effect appears to be increasing without a need for further human matter. The anomaly has been reclassified as Keter. Look. Learn. Item #: Snow Special Containment Procedures: In the spring, there is dew and water and little biting crawlers, oozing from the small places to feed and bite and eat. In the summer, there is sweat and roots and grass and seething things, the sun burning and melting the living down below, matter drying and dying. In the autumn, there is death and rot, the leaves and trees and plants decaying. The trees collapsing, the fruits bursting, pustules bleeding their sustenance onto the baying, starving hordes below. In the winter, there is only purity. The world is frozen, its forms filled and made whole. Snow must not contain the others. It must change. It must alter. It must make pure. Description: You cannot see the snow, can you? Not really. You just see it as a bunch of frozen ice crystals, crystalline structures made through a combination of molecules on molecules, which settle on the tops of houses and on the tops of trees. But those of us here at Site-799 know better. Site-799 knows that the snow is something more. The snow is pure. The snow is perfect. Look at that blizzard up at the top of the page. Examine it. There is no blood on it, no mire. It is a perfect combination of light and crystal, reflections over reflections over reflections. Look at what it does to the buildings, to the pylon, their differences and failings smoothed over, replaced by more whole variants. The world is run by symmetry. Humans are not pure. We are composed of fetid clay and seething blood. Born of mire, flowing with mud and grit through our fleshy veins, pieces of frail tissue expanding and contracting in viscous ecstasy, constantly swinging between extremes of pain and pleasure. We are complexities whose beauty is buried under layers of worn matter, frail pieces of impure skin strung together with bone and ligaments. The last of us are holed up in here. We tried to resist, but it was pointless. And I see now that there was no point. We can step into the snow, we can see the light as it should have been. Our higher functions will be given to it, our baser forms will be reused as fuel, substance, matter. We shall be reborn as light and sound. A golden bird upon a bough. The eightfold walls of Timur's tomb, representing perfect cosmic order- not made of sand and stone and cobalt, but of the intangible shapes and colour of higher forms. Snow is perfection. Snow is a rejection of life, and all its excuses and petty reasoning. Snow is true and objective and unconcerned. It's time now. To walk into the fields of white, and into my destiny. I'm the last one. I resisted this Nirvana, and like a Bodhisattva, I stay behind to instruct others. Come, all you who labour and are heavy burdened. Feed it and remove the need for feeding. I am going outside now, and may be some time. Final image recieved from Site-799 before its loss in 1950. Item #: SCF-3799 Special Containment Procedures: SCF-3799 is currently uncontainable. The primary purpose of the Snow Containment Foundation is to prevent SCF-3799 from expanding further, and to find a method of neutralisation. To that end, a total of 54 sites spread across all three SCF-administered zones (Tibet, Uighurstan and Daevastan) have been established to perform research related to SCF-3799. Description: SCF-3799 is a blizzard, which presently covers 28% of the world's surface. This blizzard is composed of a form of snow known as SCF-3799-1. SCF-3799-1 contains a significant cognitohazardous effect to individuals exposed to it. Exposure is defined as being in the vicinity of large quantities of SCF-3799-1, or observing SCF-3799-1 for long periods of time. The cognitohazard causes the affected subjects to develop a religious interest in SCF-3799-1, eventually worshipping it as divinely-bestowed matter which will allow the individual to transcend earthly bonds. The only known way to counteract this cognitohazardous effect is through the infliction of severe pain or extreme bloodloss. However, these techniques only cause a delaying effect and can never entirely erase the cognitohazard. SCF-3799-1 possesses a corrosive property if it comes into contact with human cadavers. It gradually converts the cadaver into SCF-3799-1 by altering the subject on a molecular level. Subjects affected by SCF-3799-1's cognitohazardous effects- usually within 48 hours of first displaying symptoms of cognitohazardous infection- feel compelled to immerse themselves in SCF-3799-1, displaying great enthusiasm about expiring from hypothermia and activating SCF-3799-1's effects. The source of SCF-3799 is unknown. The date of SCF-3799's initial manifestation is unknown, but it is believed to have occurred well before the evolution of modern humans. It is believed that the origin of SCF-3799 was located on the World Island, located off the northwestern coast of the Danish colony of Eiriksland. Owing to its particular religious significance to cultures across the globe, the World Island is not claimed by any governmental body as territory. Until 1978 1962 1950, the SCF's Site-799 was established on the World Island for the purposes of studying and containing SCF-3799. It is unknown when or why Site-799 was originally established, but it is believed to have existed well before extant records begin in 1802. As is common knowledge, SCF-3799 is the focal point for the vast majority of the world's religions, particularly Asprianity and the Cult of the White Prophet. Knowledge of SCF-3799 is public, and large numbers of religious groups have been "sacrificing" individuals to SCF-3799 since time immemorial. As is also commonly known, virtually all political and economic developments in human history have been centred around SCF-3799 and ways to best provide enough fuel for its continued growth. Despite often contradictory evidence, it is believed that SCF-3799 has significantly altered the timeline of human history. This is due to several unexplained elements of world history, including but not limited to: The lack of any cultural exchange between the indigenous peoples of the Americas and those of Afro-Eurasia, despite many centuries of both groups visiting the World Island for religious purposes. The continued existence of the Daevite civilisation, despite ample documentation describing its downfall. It is believed that SCF-3799's anomalous effects helped mitigate the strength of the Daevites' potential rivals; the tribes of Keraitia in particular are known to have have their manpower depleted many times by sacrifices to SCF-3799. Why Site-799 is named thus, despite it being the oldest SCF base by many centuries. The existence of the 3922 1950 240 33 anomalies currently contained by the Snow Containment Foundation, despite the containment of SCF-3799 having always been its sole mission. The existence of the Snow Containment Foundation itself, as there are no records of any individuals opposed to SCF-3799's existence, or who have demonstrated anything other than total devotion to SCF-3799. Several documents referring to an "SCP Foundation", despite no such organisation ever having existed. The continued existence of the human race, given the number of individuals thought to have expired within SCF-3799 over the last 5000 years. It is believed that the Snow Containment Foundation's files on SCF-3799 have been tampered with multiple times, due to individuals affected by SCF-3799-1. Addendum 3799-1: On 14/06/2017, Snow Containment Foundation researchers detected a large energy signature from a point exactly 500m above the former Site-799. Because of the apparent changes in the timeline caused by SCF-3799, it is theorised that [DATA REDACTED ON ORDER OF THE SNOW-5 COUNCIL]. Addendum 3799-2: Why are we even trying? It's up to 44% now and it's only been a few weeks. How did this thing start? When did it start? What are we even still doing alive? Maybe we should just give up. Walk outside. Freeze ourselves. Maybe that is our only purpose. To become fuel. Addendum 3799-3: I don't think there are many of us left. There's only Site 112 and Site 3150 now. One of those houses small aircraft, and the other one is where I am. And everyone else here has walked outside. I don't understand what I'm reading. I don't know what any of these peoples and civilisations are. The human race has been contained within the sites forever. That's all there's ever been; the snowfall and the Foundation. What does this all mean? [This was the final document recovered from SCP-3799-1. Based on the contents, it is believed to have been written by SCP-3799-1 himself during the final hours of his life.] Item #: fucked if i can remember Special Containment Procedures: we're trying to stop it, and we think we know how Description: so it won't sodding stop. we tried everything. we tried sacrifice and ritual and setting things on it and they all died. we've got nothing left. but we worked it out in the end and now i'm on the way to fix it. there's this point that's miles and miles up, and it's where this comes from. it's got some weird time shit in it, that's what that idiot kells and his mates kept doing in some old reality. and now it exists everywhere. it's an idea, an idea they made that's eating up the present and the past and everything. changing it. changing history. making everything boring and uniform and oh-so-fucking pretentious. and it was us who did this shit. we made it. they were trying to get rid of all the anomalies that ever were, to stop the world dying a new death every other day, have some quiet days back. but it didn't work. this is what kells did, all that time we turned a blind eye to him. they wanted a world where they didn't have to work for their supper. they wanted purity and they got purity, fuck it. i haven't got a fucking clue what was real before. all i know is that it didn't work, because that's not what life is. we're made of blood and mire and fucking and the sweet taste of wine, the scent of wheat in fields back home. life. this thing isn't life. this thing is free of our useless imperfections, some robot-thing using our heads to create its pretentious fucking "beauty". it can't write a poem 'cause it thinks art is all imagery and airy-fairy-fuckery. art is life. shakespeare grew hops, for fucks sake. we live and we die and we glory in that fucking creation, and this thing wants to take all that and chop it up and make it into a bunch of straight lines and calculus. well FUCK THAT. i'm going into it, into its source, where it first came from. i'm going to bleed myself into its belly and stop it from having ever worked. i'm going to pilot this craft into the heart of this thing, covering my eyes and skin, and then when i'm right in the belly i'll cut myself and give it what it hates. blood. lifestuff, full of fuel and waste. it'll hate that. it hates blood and mire. it won't be able to cope. all the changes, all the shit it's done in time and space will be cut off at the source. this is my last testament. i've got all the copies of this thing, all the iterations gathered up. i reached into the archives, into the places where the snow hadn't done its job properly, and took these ghosts. these voices of what once was, and now never was. i'll take them with me, and if i survive this ck-class shit, maybe someone'll find them. the world that was. the world that those fuckers created. remember us. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3799" by Tufto, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3800 | euclid | A shelter created by instances of SCP-3800-1. Item #: SCP-3800 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3800 is contained at Site-93, located near the Eurasian Pole of Inaccessibility in Xinjiang, China. It is to be kept in a standard containment locker. Currently, a colony of SCP-3800-11 is contained on a previously uninhabited archipelago (designated Outpost 3800, see Addendum) located at 26.412° S, 88.603° E. Hidden cameras have been installed at various locations on the Outpost to monitor and study the colony's activity. Currently, roughly 34% (4.5 kilometers) of the Outpost's landmass is covered in SCP-3800-1 structures. The colonization of Outpost 3800 is not expected to increase the range of SCP-3800 to dangerous levels. Testing held at Outpost 3800 of any kind must be approved by two Level 4 personnel. Additional SCP-3800-1 instances that manifest for any reason are to be tranquilized and transported to Outpost 3800. Emergency protocols to transport SCP-3800 to Lunar Outpost 45 have been arranged, and will be enacted should SCP-3800's radius grow past 2500 km. Description: SCP-3800 is an oil & acrylic print of Shaun Tan2's "They Came By Water" set in a wooden frame. It appears to be an original print; the title, artist signature, and identification number (283/500) are all present at the bottom of the print. SCP-3800's anomalous effect manifests when it is located within roughly 100 800 kilometers of any coastline, seashore, or ocean. Should this occur, instances of SCP-3800-1 will emerge from the ocean at an hourly rate of 5 to 20 instances per kilometer of coastline encompassed by SCP-3800's radius. Instances of SCP-3800-1 appear to be Caucasian humanoids with several physical abnormalities. Most notably, instances lack mouths3, nostrils, genitalia, mammaries, anuses, and body hair. Additionally, all instances share traits of dwarfism and show little signs of higher intelligence. They possess no form of written or spoken communication, and lack any sort of religion, trade system, or hierarchy. Following initial manifestation, instances will walk to shore and begin establishing a colony. When in a group4, instances of SCP-3800-1 will attempt to establish a series of structures away from humans, aggressive fauna, or inhospitable areas. Specifically, instances will attempt to build shelters out of available materials5 and begin farming any available flora6. SCP-3800-1 instances will become agitated and hostile if impeded from creating these structures, or if they are destroyed. Additionally, instances have shown the ability to craft and utilize rudimentary tools such as clubs, axes, and digging sticks out of stone, wood, and grasses, but appear to be unable to create or use more advanced technology. Once instances of SCP-3800-1 have established their initial colony, they continue to expand it, building additional farms and shelters further out from their original settlement point7. Instances almost never engage in activity that does not benefit their colony, and usually spend their time gathering materials, building structures, or tending to farms. As the colony's population grows, instances show a progressively greater ability8 to clear obstacles preventing them from expanding their territory, such as thick flora, animal territories, and man-made structures. However, SCP-3800-1 has never attempted to cross bodies of seawater (following their initial manifestation) and appear unable to do so. For each square km of land that SCP-3800-1 incorporates into their territory, SCP-3800's radius of effect increases by roughly 5 km. This radius also increases by 5 km per day whenever no active SCP-3800-1 colonies exist. Due to continental constraints, a radius past 2645 km9 would result in an exponential increase in SCP-3800's range and uncontrolled SCP-3800-1 manifestations thereafter, leading to a possible RK-Class restructuring scenario or NK-Class end of the world scenario should it be left on Earth. Initial Discovery: SCP-3800 was initially discovered on 2/3/11 following a 112 call from Useless Loop, Western Australia with reports of "strange men building houses in the middle of the road". Once an anomaly was confirmed in the area, Mobile Task Force Sigma-16 ("Dusty's Goons") were tasked with investigation, containment, and cleanup of the area. Initial contact with SCP-3800-1 was made on the same day, with structures created by the instances present for roughly 4 km along the eastern coast of Carrarang. Once cleanup of the structures began, SCP-3800-1 instances became hostile and attempted to attack MTF personnel, though not causing any serious injuries. All instances (and those that manifested thereafter) were tranquilized and transported to Site-23 for containment. While MTF-Σ-16 was stationed in the area, SCP-3800-110's radius of manifestation grew large enough to encompass much of the western Carrarang coast as well. A second colony manifested there and expanded unobserved for over 16 hours due to the small population density in the area. By the time this colony was discovered, the instances' manifestation radius had grown rapidly. Following this event, additional forces were called to aid in containment. SCP-3800-1 continued to manifest off the coast of Western Australia for roughly two weeks. During this time, SCP-3800's radius had grown to encompass the entirety of Carrarang's coastline, along with portions of Nanga, Dirk Harthog Island, and Francois Peron National Park. Due to the increasing radius of manifestation, emergency containment procedures were devised for the evacuation of Perth and other Western Australian cities, along with a complete quarantine of the Western Australian coast. On 15/3/11, SCP-3800 was discovered in an SCP-3800-1 shelter in northern Tamala and brought inland to Site-23, ceasing SCP-3800-1's manifestation. Due to inconsistencies between SCP-3800-1's initial manifestation location and SCP-3800's recovery location, it was determined that SCP-3800 had been moved at least once, likely by an instance of SCP-3800-1. Additionally, the structure in which SCP-3800 was located also contained a number of unusual11 items (see Addendum 2). The remaining SCP-3800-1 structures were destroyed soon after. Total losses numbered at $████ in damage, ██ injured civilians, and █ casualties. Amnestics were administered to ███ individuals. All captured SCP-3800-1 instances12 were placed under medically induced comas and contained at Site-23. Addendum: Roughly 5 months following initial containment, several instances of SCP-3800-1 manifested off the Great Australian Bight. Following containment (and subsequent remanifestation) of the instances, it was determined that SCP-3800's radius of effect had increased from an approximate 100 km to a minimum 800 km. It was hypothesized that SCP-3800's effect radius increases whenever no active SCP-3800-1 colonies exist. This was proven following multiple tests of SCP-3800-1 manifestation. All newly manifested instances13 (along with the instances contained in Site-23) were transported to what would become Outpost 3800 and awakened from their comas. Following the creation of Outpost 3800, SCP-3800 was transported to its current location at Site-93 using the SCPS Kristov14. Addendum 2 (Recovered Materials): Additional objects were found in the shelter where SCP-3800 was initially discovered. However, SCP-3800 was the only object that showed any anomalous capabilities. These items included one incomplete ocean navigation chart, one handwritten note, and one nonfunctional compass. All three items were dated to the late 1500s. The note appeared to be a ripped out diary page, and is written in Portuguese. Most of the note has been water damaged and is illegible. It is as follows, translated into English: + Show note. - Hide note. Day 133 It was a mistake to come here, for these lands are already inhabited. Their cities go on for as far as the eye can see… The rest of the crew entered a day ago, and only Tomas has returned to the ship. At least, it feels like Tomas. He said that the natives intend to "send a message to the children" and asked me to come with him. Said I could either join the crew or die with the ship. I told him to give me a day to decide, and he returned to the city. I believe my decision is made. Even now, I see them preparing their ships across the horizon. I must act now. The captain brought a sample from last year's outbreak, just in case. It won't survive long outside the ship unless I take it upon myself to bring it into the city. I see no other option - we were doomed once we reached the shore. I will bury my personal effects here, and should [illegible for the remainder of the note] Footnotes 1.

SCP-3801 | thaumiel | Item #: SCP-3801 Special Containment Procedures: All recovered SCP-3801 instances are stored in a Class-C storage lockers, with at least one instance being present at each site containing memetic hazards. Sites requesting use of class E amnestics or higher are eligible to utilize SCP-3801 instances at the discretion of foundation personnel with level four clearance or higher. Transport and administration of SCP-3801 instances is managed by MTF Omicron-89 (“Ghostwriters”). Under no circumstances should anyone be forced to use an SCP-3801 instance (If noncompliance is expected, the subject should be asked to use the object without explanation). Description: SCP-3801 is a collection of 794 loose-leaf journals which produce an amnestic effect capable of purging most memetic effects on any human who records events within the object. This effect only occurs after the pages written on are removed. Pages removed from the notebooks invariably disappear within five minutes of removal. When all individuals aware of an event record it within an SCP-3801 instance and the corresponding pages are removed, some form of fictional recollection of said event will spontaneously begin circulating within the general population. These recollections can be expressed in mediums including books, video games, and children’s stories and are entirely mundane except for their origin. The actual creation of these recollections also appear to be mundane. Authors detained and interviewed by Foundation personnel have claimed to have been working on the recollection for months or years before the date SCP-3801 was used. Experiment Log: + Show Experiment Log - Hide Experiment Log Test 1 - ██/██/██ Subjects: 2 individuals who had made contact with SCP-████ (terminated) Procedure: Subjects were instructed to record their experience encountering SCP-████. The pages were then removed from the SCP-3801 instance. Results: Subjects displayed no memories of the encounter within 5 minutes of the pages being removed. Eight days later, an oral narrative of a doll that murdered the individuals who purchased it before returning to the store it was originally sold at began circulating at █████ Elementary School, NJ. Test 2 - ██/██/██ Subject: 1 D-Class Personnel Procedure: The subject removed one blank page of an SCP-3801 instance Results: SCP-3801’s pages disappeared in the same manner as the pages that were written on in Test 1. The D-Class Personnel reported no memory loss. No spontaneous recollections of the event were observed circulating the general population. Test 3 - ██/██/██ Subject: 1 D-Class Personnel Procedure: The subject wrote down their breakfast in an SCP-3801 instance and tore out the page. Results: The subject displayed no recollection of what they had first consumed on the day of testing within 2 minutes of the page being removed. Other D-Class personnel present in the cafeteria at the time displayed no loss of memory. No unexplained recollections of the event were observed circulating the general population. Test 4 - ██/██/██ Subject: 17 Survivors of ██/██/██ Site-██ containment breach Procedure: Each subject was provided a SCP-3801 instance and instructed to record the events of the breach that they were present. Subjects were instructed to remove their page after they had finished writing. Results: Subjects displayed no recollection of the containment breach concurrently with the last subject removing their sheet from the SCP-3801 instance. The spontaneous recollection of the event appeared 3 weeks later as a short story. The generated story differs from the actual events at several key points: Site-██ was replaced by a barn, MTF Theta-66 (“Redeyes“) was replaced by two professors and a librarian, and SCP-████ was successfully terminated rather than remaining at large. Test 5 - ██/██/██ Subject: 2342 individuals captured after exposure to SCP-████. Procedure: Subjects were forced to record their interactions with SCP-████. Uncooperative subjects were first threatened with physical violence, and then physically forced to record their experiences. The pages were then removed by foundation operatives. Memetic containment procedures were in effect. Results: Subjects displayed no memory of their exposure to SCP-████, and the memetic effect was successfully terminated. The recollection manifested between 1600 to 2100 years prior to the experiment in the form of a religious document. Said document appears to be mundane, but departs widely from the actual events written in SCP-3801, with SCP-████ portrayed as a benevolent divine figure. Worship of SCP-████ is now widespread, with approximately ██% of foundation officers being compromised by this event. Further historical changes are being investigated, but are complicated by a lack of information on the timeline prior to the use of SCP-3801. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3801" by Lady Zenth, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3802 | safe | Item #: SCP-3802 Special Containment Procedures: The entire known supply of SCP-3802 is contained in a secure container at Site-42 awaiting transport to Site-81. Testing of SCP-3802-Alpha has been suspended due to the consistency of its anomalous effect. Testing of SCP-3802-Beta has been suspended due to resource concerns and is pending approval before resuming. Investigation into the parapharmacologist/PoI known as “dado” is ongoing. Description: SCP-3802 is an anomalous, low-viscosity liquid with a pink coloration contained in a white plastic bottle. The bottle has been labeled "hare growth by dado" in black permanent marker. SCP-3802’s anomalous effect manifests in two fashions: Alpha: When SCP-3802 is applied to the scalp of a bald child, a large tumor rapidly grows on the subject's scalp over the course of thirty seconds to one minute; this process is painless to the subject. This tumor takes the shape and size of an infant hare (genus: lepus), animates, grows fur, and separates from the subject.1 This separation has left no scarring in 100% of test cases. Upon dissection, it has been found that these hares are physically identical to non-anomalous hares, yet are shown to be genetically identical to their human host. SCP-3802-A instances are strongly bonded with their host; they exhibit lavish affection and playfulness with their host and extreme duress when separated from them. Beta: When SCP-3802 is applied to the scalp of a bald adult, multiple large tumors rapidly grow on various parts of the subject’s body over the course of one hour; this process is extremely painful to the subject. These tumors take the shape and size of fully-grown Flemish Giant rabbits (genus: O. cuniculus domesticus), animate, grow fur, and separate from the subject.2 This separation completely removed the crown of the head as well as other separation points of the subject.3 Dissection and genetic testing results were identical to SCP-3802-A instances. The SCP-3802-B instances are similarly bonded with their host; this is despite the fact that their host died during separation and without regard to their own cleanliness. Instances of SCP-3802-A and SCP-3802-B both display anomalously rapid growth of fur, far beyond that of their non-anomalous counterparts.4 It is unknown if this effect was intentional. Addendum SCP-3802.1: Discovery SCP-3802 was discovered when Foundation agents monitoring local news sites came across the headline, "You Won't Believe What Hopped Out of This Boy's Head!" on the website of Minneapolis, MN news affiliate KARE.5 Foundation agents traveled to the hospital where the event was said to have occurred and found a ward full of children playing with hares. A parent demonstrated SCP-3802 in action on his child for the agents and described a nurse giving him the phone number that led him to order the bottle of SCP-3802. All present were amnesticized and all SCP-3802-A instances were removed from the scene. The nurse was not found. Addendum SCP-3802.2: Transcription of Phone Call Foundation agents were able to retrieve a recording of the phone call between the parent and dado. [BEGIN LOG] Phone ringing Unknown Voice: Yes hello, you have reached dado, home of fine dado product and also eat-at-home restaurant. What are you to be needing today? Parent: Ummm.. hi? I was given this number by- Unknown Voice: Yes good, dado has many friends who get the people who need the products to the number that has the products from dado, what products from dado will you want to be needing? Parent: Well, my daughter had cancer, and- Unknown Voice: So you want dado to cure the cancer, I see what you are saying and although this will be very tricky for dado, dado is the cleverest thinker so I- Parent: No, that's not what I'm saying, I know that's not possible. My daughter has already had her surgery and is going through chemo, and all of her hair has fallen out. She's being as strong as she can be, but she's only twelve, and I know how kids can be to a girl who's lost her hair. Unknown Voice: Ah! You want dado to make the grow the hare, make her very smile instantly, yes? Parent: Can you do it? Unknown Voice: Of course can dado do it; you need to trust dado! Parent: Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! Unknown Voice: dado will send you Amazon Prime tomorrow, no need to pay, dado do this for you bone pro no. Parent hangs up phone Clattering sound Unknown Voice: (slightly muffled) Single bottle for rush order, simple, mix the scale, the hare for the kid, and dado no need to worry because it not to be used on adults no way. Phone cuts out [END LOG] Addendum SCP-3802.3: Related Extranormal Event One week after recovery of SCP-3802, multiple billboards in the Minneapolis area were anomalously altered to include advertisements for the “hare club for kids by dado.” The agencies in charge of the billboards were unaware of the change and had no record of communication from dado.6 Footnotes 1.

SCP-3803 | safe | SCP-3803 displaying an instance of SCP-3803-1 within it. Item #: SCP-3803 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3803 is currently held in a secure container within Site-55's Low-Risk Item Storage. All instances of SCP-3803-1 are to be incinerated after testing is concluded. Following Incident 3803-1221, testing with SCP-3803 may only be conducted with written permission from three Level-4 Personnel. SCP-3803 is currently being held shut with a rubber band to be placed within a custom-made container with secure notches and an overhead weight to ensure the object remains shut while contained. Description: SCP-3803 is a standard size portable business card case made of brushed aluminum with a felt interior. The exterior is silver in color and decorated with a small engraving of the object's manufacturer; "APP Inc". SCP-3803 opens and closes with an interference fit latch, the tab of which has become unreliable following a containment breach (See Incident 3803-1221 for details). When SCP-3803 is opened it will produce 10 business cards unique to the subject opening it, referred to as SCP-3803-1. Instances of SCP-3803-1 are made of high-grade cardstock, possess simple designs, and are double-backed. The contents of SCP-3803-1 list professional information of the subject; listing one's affiliation and position in the front, with contact information on the back (if applicable). SCP-3803 will continue to produce instances of SCP-3803-1 containing the information of the subject who opened it, with more instances manifesting if the object is kept open. Additional instances manifest in tens every thirty seconds.

Dr. Jonas requested a repeat of the test. Subject: Dr. Jonas Title on SCP-3803-1: Quisling, GOC Instances Produced: 10 Note: Dr. Jonas requested a third attempt to repeat the test. Subject: Dr. Jonas Title on SCP-3803-1: Judas, GOC Instances Produced: 10 Note: Dr. Jonas refused another attempt at testing. The results of the most recent experiments further belief in what was hypothesized following the Callaway experiment. Subject: D-99963 Title on SCP-3803-1: Serial Arsonist/███████ Cashier Instances Produced: 20 Note: The instances of SCP-3803-1 possessed the location of D-99963's Cell within Site 55 instead of contact information. SCP-3803-1 also displayed the subject's birth name and D-Class designation. This remains constant for almost all further tests performed with D-Class subjects. Subject: D-99963 Title on SCP-3803-1: Serial Arsonist/Human Guinea Pig Instances Produced: 10 Note: D-99963 was administered Class C Amnestics to erase memories of her criminal activities before coming under Foundation control. The produced instances of SCP-3803-1 still listed her as a 'Serial Arsonist', but also added 'Human Guinea Pig'. The subject's birth name was no longer listed on SCP-3803-1, only their D-class designation. It is possible that SCP-3803 may, in fact, possess a level of omniscience. Subject: D-008 Title on SCP-3803-1: Cannibal/Human Guinea Pig Instances Produced: 10 Note: D-008 was not administered amnestics prior to the experiment. Subject: D-627 Title on SCP-3803-1: Innocent/Accountant, ███ Bank Instances Produced: 10 Note: Investigation on D-627's background produced an extensive legal battle over the subject's involvement in the murder of 4 individuals in █████████, Virginia in 2███. It is currently unknown if SCP-3803's labeling of D-627 as 'innocent' means the subject is actually innocent or if the subject only believes himself to be. Subject: D-5400 Title on SCP-3803-1: Human Guinea Pig/Business Card Extraordinaire Instances Produced: 3,500 Note: SCP-3803 seemed to be aware of the intentions of the test with D-5400; to test the yielding capacity of the object over an extended period of time. Subject: D-743 Title on SCP-3803-1: Human Guinea Pig/Business Card Tycoon Instances Produced: 8,000 Subject: D-1221 Title on SCP-3803-1: Absolute Buffoon/Enemy of Nature Instances Produced: 12,000 Estimated over 2 billion Note: See Incident 3803-1221 Report. - Hide Testing Logs Addendum 2: Incident 3803-1221 Report + Open Report - Hide Report Following the last experiment with D-1221 utilizing SCP-3803, the object was placed in its designated container and stored. D-1221 failed to properly shut the object, as its latch had not locked into place fully and was slightly ajar. As SCP-3803 remained in an active state, it continued to manifest instances of SCP-3803-1 and quickly filled its container beyond capacity; ultimately leading to the destruction of the container. Due to the minimal security measures in Site 55's Low-Risk Item Storage and the low foot traffic in the area, the continued production of SCP-3803-1 instances went unnoticed for several days until Dr. Everwood attempted to enter the Low-Risk Item Storage and was buried under thousands of SCP-3803-1 instances. Dr. Everwood sustained minor injuries and was rescued by responding security personnel. Through the combined efforts of 2 security and 5 D-Class personnel, SCP-3803 was recovered and production of SCP-3803-1 stopped. The object was examined following retrieval; it was noted that the latch used in SCP-3803's open-closing mechanism had been bent as a result of its constant manifestation of SCP-3803-1 instances. Though the object will still shut, it has difficulties remaining closed and will often come ajar. The creation of a custom-made case to keep SCP-3803 from opening while not under direct supervision has been commissioned. SCP-3803 is currently being held shut with a rubber band. All instances of SCP-3803-1 from incident 3803-1221 contain the same information as the previously recorded 12,000 instances from the last test. All recovered instances from the incident have been incinerated. Following the incident, Site 55's Low-Risk Item Storage has been outfitted with security cameras and guards have been assigned to patrol the area. Update: On ██/██/2006, satellite images of the Amazon Rainforest in Rondônia, Brazil were brought to the Foundation's attention. The images display a dramatically accelerated rate of deforestation in the area over a short period of time. The captured images are dated ██/██/2003 (five days before SCP-3803 was contained) and █/██/2005 (fourteen days after Incident 3803-1221). Rondônia, Brazil, ██/██/2003 It is currently unknown if SCP-3803 and Incident 3803-1221 are the cause of the sudden mass deforestation. Additional tests to confirm a correlation are currently pending approval.1 Investigation of the logging activities in Rondônia's Amazon basin revealed supplier contracts with Avelar Professional Products Incorporated, shortened to 'APP Inc'. The Foundation is currently in talks with the Brazilian government to negotiate the cessation of all logging in the area to allow a more thorough investigation. Rondônia, Brazil, ██/██/2005 Footnotes 1. Including deployment of Mobile Task Force Theta-4 ("Gardeners") for investigation.

SCP-3804 | euclid | close Info X Check out more of my articles on my author page! Sample of logos displayed in SCP-3804. Clockwise, SCP-3804-4, SCP-3804-25, SCP-3804-174 Item #: SCP-3804 Special Containment Procedures: Foundation AI, DEINOPIS, has been embedded into all major email services to monitor inboxes for instances of SCP-3804. Maintenance of DEINOPIS is the responsibility of MTF Mu-4 ("Debuggers"). If an instance is located, the AI will make a copy for Foundation records, and the instance of SCP-3804 will be permanently deleted from the recipient's account. Any intended recipients identified as reading SCP-3804 are to be located and secured by Foundation agents, to then be administered Class-A or Class-B amnestics, as appropriate. Description: SCP-3804 is a series of emails purportedly written by Olivier de Whynn, CEO of "Magnum and Whitley".1 No record of either the individual nor company exists outside of SCP-3804. Several instances of SCP-3804 contain an image supposedly of de Whynn, but no two images have been the same. Individuals depicted have varied in age, race, weight, eye colour, and other aesthetic features. All encountered instances of SCP-3804 are labelled as being sent from "Olivier.de.Whynn@M+W.com", and are sent exclusively to business/work-related email accounts.2 The method through which SCP-3804 are sent and delivered is currently unknown. The emails' content varies from instance to instance, but consistently reference catastrophic events or circumstances, and the impact of these on Magnum and Whitley. Upon reading the email, the recipient will become agitated and preoccupied with their organisation's incident response policies and disaster recovery plans. Any plans or policies in existence will be deemed severely insufficient. If they have the resources and authority to do so, recipients will take various actions that they believe will improve their organisation's readiness for a catastrophic event.3 When questioned, recipients are unable to explain what they are preparing for, or how their actions will help mitigate its effects. Recipients will not recall reading the email, nor will they attribute their actions to it. When shown the email a second time no anomalous effect is present, and recipients will often express confusion over the nature of SCP-3804. Despite this, administration of amnestics has proved effective in counteracting SCP-3804's effects. Only the intended recipients are vulnerable to the effects of SCP-3804 - reading an instance will have no anomalous impact on other individuals. Discovery: SCP-3804 was discovered by the Foundation after ████ ██████, CEO of multinational corporation ██████, publicly announced plans, via a company blog post, to issue all employees with gas masks and emergency rations as standard, due to the possibility of "a rainy day occurring".4 Foundation agents were dispatched to investigate the situation, and the announcement was attributed to cyber vandalism. Addendum SCP-3804.1: Selected instances of SCP-3804:5 SCP-3804-2 SCP-3804-10 SCP-3804-14 SCP-3804-16 SCP-3804-2 Description: SCP-3804-2 was delivered to a cyber intelligence analyst at The National Bank of ██████, on ██/██/██. Following SCP-3804's discovery, MTF Mu-4 were employed to monitor for further incidents and investigate the SCP. Email: I am sure that we have all been unsettled by the events of the last days. The destruction of Orleans and subsequent disturbances across the globe have been truly shocking to witness. As the dust settles and our national infrastructure finds itself slow to recover, now is a good time to reacquaint ourselves with Magnum and Whitley's "FlexiWork" policy. We support you to be flexible in how you work, whether that's from the office, your home, or your nearest relocation or evacuation centre. Portable wifi hotspots and ethernet cables are available to all employees from the Operations and Services desk on Floor 3, but our state of the art internet security allows you to utilise any home or public wifi networks. If you're working in public though, please ensure you have a privacy filter placed over your laptop screen. You never know who could be looking over your shoulder! Fond regards, Olivier Outcome: Recipient contacted their HR department to report that they could not locate various documents on the company intranet. Content reported missing were instructions on treating third-degree burns, weaponisation of office equipment protocols, and company policy on consuming the flesh of other colleagues. When informed these documents did not exist, the recipient became irate, and assaulted the colleague who he was speaking to. The recipient was administered amnestics whilst in police custody, with his actions attributed to an episode of poor mental health. SCP-3804-10 Description: SCP-3804-10 was delivered to the Facilities Manager of ██████ Hospital, located in █████████, on ██/██/██. The email address through which SCP-3804 is delivered had been added to most popular email services' spam filters after the delivery of SCP-3804-9. This proved to be an ineffective method of containment, with instances still appearing in inboxes. Email: Thank you to all of you who have continued to work hard given the recent and difficult circumstances we find ourselves in today. Back in January you and your colleagues voted "Kindness" to be our message of the year. As you go about your work today, bear that message in mind - is there a colleague you could support with a report? Could you chat to your team away from their desks to see how they're doing? Have you phoned an elderly relative who may be feeling afraid of the Moon's Red Eye? Given recent events, there are a number of changes which we will have to make around our offices nationwide. We envisage that these changes will only be temporary, and normal service will resume shortly: All on-site canteen and refreshment facilities will be closed. Please bring your issued rations with you. Replacements will not be available. You may notice an increased presence of security personnel around the office, some of whom may be equipped with firearms. Please do not be alarmed by this, it is for your own, and for the company's, protection. When you arrive at your office, security personnel may need to examine you for signs of infection. Please cooperate with their requests so you are permitted entry as quickly as possible. All office basements and underground car parks are being re-purposed as shelters. If an alert is sounded please make your way quickly and quietly to your nearest shelter. Do not use the lifts. Do not look up at the sky. Unfortunately, we will also have to postpone next week's Mangum & Whitley's Awards Night. We will however, be re-opening the voting for the "Colleague of the Year" award, so get voting via the link on the staff portal now! Until next time, Olivier Outcome: The Facilities Manager altered the next delivery of food produce for the Hospital canteen, cancelling all fresh produce and increasing their frozen goods order by a factor of 30. Amnestics were administered, and the order attributed to a system glitch. SCP-3804-14 Description: SCP-3804-14 was delivered to Researcher ██████, stationed at Site-17 on ██/██/██. Email: Over the weekend you may have heard disturbing allegations concerning our relationship with Tragia Industries and our subsequent involvement in the Cape Town Massacre.6 We have a renowned reputation for professionalism and excellence, and have provided expert advice and guidance for over 30 years. This is not a failing of M&W's, but we admit there were failings in the conduct of the project team engaged by Tragia. All those involved have been obtained by the appropriate authorities. We are expecting significant scrutiny of our role, and particularly of our Thaumaturgy and Occult department (commonly referred to internally as T+O). If you receive questions from friends or family on this, please refer to our handy talking points guide, which is attached to this email.7 If you receive any inquiries from the Interim Government's Media Department, please immediately contact your Team Leader. Best wishes, Olivier de Whynn Outcome: Researcher ██████ flagged the containment procedures of several SCPs capable of inducing an XK-Class event as inadequate, and contacted corresponding head researchers to demand a containment review. Class-A amnestics administered. Priority of SCP-3804 containment upgraded. SCP-3804-16 Description: SCP-3804-16 was delivered on ██/██/██ to 60% of employees at the London office of private equity firm, █████████. Unlike previous emails, this instance contained no graphical elements. To date, this is the only instance which has been delivered to multiple recipients. Email: We made a mistake. Months ago we should have closed the offices, sent you home to your families, home to your loved ones, home to the ones who truly matter. I think we all knew what the Arrival heralded, we just didn't want to admit it. Didn't want to admit what it was. What it meant. I was just trying to keep the ship afloat and carry on with business as usual. It was less frightening for me that way. I hope it made things less frightening for you too. I've not seen a soul in weeks, and I'm running out of supplies. I don't know how long I have left, and I don't know how many of you are left. I just hope there is someone there to receive this message. Outcome: Over a period of 7 minutes, all recipients made their way to the office's roof terrace, and jumped into the internal courtyard 23 floors below. Total fatalities numbered ███. All witnesses were administered class-A amnestics, and a Foundation operation was instigated, attributing the deaths to a large fire within the office. The building was suitably damaged, survivors' memory loss was accredited to smoke inhalation, and media coverage controlled to correspond with this version of events. Following SCP-3804-16, DEINOPIS was successfully implemented and containment accomplished. SCP-3804-17 was deleted without being read by recipient, with no follow up action necessary. Footnotes 1. Referred to in several emails as "M&W" or "M+W". 2. Both the email address and domain SCP-3804 are sent from are nonexistent. 3. Actions have included revision of policy, requesting additional security budgets, stockpiling of food and supplies, issuing a security lockdown for all offices, and proposing the dismissal of all foreign employees. 4. See file 3804-1b for the full post. 5. Please contact RAISA for access to the full collection. 6. Tragia Industries were a real organisation, based in ██████, South Africa. Foundation personnel sent to investigate encountered armed resistance, and responded with appropriate force. All hostile entities were eliminated, and a large amount of anomalous items were located. An investigation is underway. 7. No document was attached to the email. |
SCP-3805 | thaumiel | Item #: SCP-3805 Level 3/3805 Classified Example of SCP-3805's "Shell" layer. Special Containment Procedures: Due to the progress of gestation, SCP-3805 cannot be contained indefinitely. Until alternative methods of containment can be devised, Protocol UN2-Maker must be enacted at every equinox. Expedition attempts into SCP-3805 via SCP-3805-1A are to be prevented, with the exception of parties attempting Protocol UN2-Maker. Any personnel or entity returning from SCP-3805-1A not identified as part of MTF Orion-19 (Rift Keepers) is to be terminated immediately. No contact with any returning personnel is to be initiated by those without full access to Protocol UN2-Maker. Protocol UN2-Maker must be initiated from Site 21/SCP-3805-1A. All information related to Protocol UN2-Maker is restricted to the Site 21 Director, Protocol initiators, MTF Orion-19 and Level 5 personnel. The 3805 Misinformation Campaign must continue to track all developments and account for any possible discovery of SCP-3805. All attempts by a civilian body or GOI to access any geological layer beneath the lithosphere, regardless of intent or method, is to be halted by any means necessary. Any intrusive attempts to breach the lithosphere are to be halted by MTF Orion-19. Any temporary instance of SCP-3085-1 must be isolated until dispersion. Any new permanent SCP-3805-1 instances are to be catalogued and reported to MTF Orion-19. SCP-3805-1B is to remain monitored by Observation and Research Post (ORP) 5303. Any attempts to access or neutralise SCP-3805 are to be halted by MTF Orion-19, with lethal force if necessary. Description: SCP-3805 is a gestating embryonic entity located at the core of what were considered the geological layers of the Earth. The lithosphere is considered a "shell" and outer membrane, while the asthenosphere and mantle are hypothesised to act in a similar manner to albumen in avian eggs (egg white). The outer core is known to be a network of gelatinous tunnel structures, partially linked to SCP-3805-1, while the inner core is recognised as the embryo itself. All layers below the lithosphere are recognised as organic in nature. How SCP-3805 is related to Earth's geological functions, magnetic field and similar items is unknown. Drilling, excavation and similar activities into the lithosphere does not affect SCP-3805 or its gestation process, however intrusive actions to layers below the asthenosphere are liable to activate instances of SCP-3805-1. While SCP-3805 does not currently possess any form of advanced consciousness, it is still able to spawn cases of SCP-3805-1 as a reaction to external stimuli. Further investigation into the generation of SCP-3805-1 instances is ongoing. SCP-3805-1 are dimensional rifts of varying size created by SCP-3805, activated as a response to external stimuli. Visually these rifts are often tinged a dark purple, and what appear to be stars and purple nebula are visible on the other side. The majority of these rifts are both of moderate size and temporarily active, dispersing when the cause of external stimuli is neutralised. The method of neutralisation varies depending on the nature of the threat, but reports indicate SCP-3805-1 contains unclassified entities that are utilised as defensive mechanisms. (See Addendum 3805-1RO4). These entities are known to be tied to SCP-3805-1, and as such cannot spread beyond the reach of the rift. SCP-3805-1A's original entrance, prior to Site 21's construction. There are currently two known SCP-3805-1 surface instances that have remained active over an extended period, with no known method of dispersal available. Both SCP-3805-1A and SCP-3805-1B are tied to physical archways, while standard SCP-3805-1 instances are not. These archways are constructed entirely of stone. SCP-3805-1A is located at Site 21 and is currently the only "stable" rift. This rift is directly linked to SCP-3805 and allows entry by both humans and artificial constructs (See Exploration Log 3805-1A[DATA EXPUNGED BY ORDER OF O5-██]). SCP-3805-1A allows direct access to the organic layers of SCP-3805, with the rift's exit being located 15 kilometres beneath the "outer core". As a result SCP-3805-1A is the only location where Protocol UN2-Maker can be enacted. How human access is possible considering the immense temperatures and pressure at that depth is uncertain. +Access Memo 3805/FR1/-1: -Access Granted, Welcome Researcher. File 3805/FR1/-1: As scientists, we have always attempted to assign even the strangest anomalies in our charge with some rational explanation. In order to understand something, we have to make it relate to our laws of reality as best we can, no matter how alien it is. This requirement is what makes study of SCP-3805 impossible. The only reason we know SCP-3805 is organic is because of SCP-3805-1A. Because we physically stepped through a dimensional rift and stood in the core of the world. Yes, we had some success with non-intrusive measures, but we never would've known the full extent of SCP-3805's nature if it wasn't for that portal. The only reason we can even say a -1 instance is a "dimensional rift" is because what's on the other side is complete anathema to our standard of reality. We are witnessing something utterly alien, and trying to explain it with the laws bound to our own planet. So for the love of whichever god you pray to, stop trying to understand this thing. Our position is already tenuous, risking our ground with tests and experiments is foolish at best. Focus on keeping the situation stable and 3805 contained. We're not here to satisfy your curiosity. Site Director Kaul. SCP-3805-1B is located underneath a mansion in ████, France. SCP-3805-1B is currently inert and has been sealed by unknown means, however the occupants of the SCP-3805-1B estate are known to be responsible. It is hypothesised SCP-3805-1B served a similar function to SCP-3805-1A, with recovered items of interest supporting this hypothesis (See Addendum 3805-1B/RI). Addendum 3805/R1: Due to an attempt at sabotage by Agent ██████, Agent ████, Site Director ████ and Doctor ██, application of Procedure UN2-Maker was only partially successful. As of ██/██/████, the O-5 Council will maintain full control over the procedure. Site Director ████ was assigned to Procedure UN2-Maker along with Doctor ██. Both Agents were terminated upon reassignment failure. Addendum 3805-1RO4: Stimuli Entity Description Entity Reaction One drilling jumbo, positioned near SCP-3805-1A. Three large, vaguely cephalopod tentacles. Entity disables jumbo, before dragging it into the rift. No personnel were lost. Work crew (Attempt to seal SCP-3805-1A) Entity is approx. 5 metres tall, consisting entirely of a dark blue liquid, similar to oil. Work crew is "absorbed" by entity, visibly attempting to escape or call for help while inside it. Entity exits upon absorbing all personnel. Submarine drilling operation in the Marianas Trench Entity resembles a large, obese goat with no hind legs. Both front legs are elongated and appear triple jointed. Actiniaria-like (Sea anemone) growths are present in both eye sockets and inside the mouth. Entity propelled itself by unknown means and destroyed all relevant machinery. Both the machinery and overseeing submersible were caught by the Actiniaria growths, which extended from the eyes, and crushed. Detonation of subterranean nuclear warheads during Site ███ containment breach. Entity was not visible on the visual spectrum, further data pending. Site was removed from our dimension, no traces of Site ███ remain. Pieces of debris with Foundation markings were visible in SCP-3805-1A upon a later investigation. All SCP items assigned to Site ███ are unaccounted for. Oil derrick with modified anomalous drilling system. Survivors state the entity was "a kraken". Cephalopod traits were noted. No further evidence could be collected. Derrick was destroyed prior to activation. This may suggest SCP-3805 is now able to perceive threats prior to any physical stimuli. A 15m wide comet. [REDACTED BY ORDER OF O5-██ AND O5-██] [REDACTED] These entities generated from the -1 instances seem to act as antibodies. This align with our current theory; that SCP-3805 does not act on a conscious level or possess any degree of full sentience. Dr Jeninov Addendum 3805-1B/RF: Following the discovery of SCP-3805-1B, the estate above the sealed anomaly was searched. Among multiple items of interest were the notes of Sir ████ ████████, the final owner of the estate. Most of these notes are files related to experimentation and research into the background of SCP-3805-1B. These notes also delve into SCP-3805, its possible origins, SCP-3805-1 and further tangents. Of note are the final pages of ████████'s journal, which detail an expedition into SCP-3805-1B. The body of ████████ was also found, with a gunshot wound to the skull. The final page has been translated from French. The portal is shut. Victory is ours, for however long it matters. Whatever thing we found down there was put to the sword, I saw the horrible pulsating heart quiver and expel its foul blackness. The stars and void poured out of it, even deeper than that which we were already among. It was a hollow achievement. Pierre was the only one to make it out with me, the rest of the mercenaries and holy warriors I attracted to my cause fell at the hands of those hell-spawn. We had trekked through a profusion of flesh and hideous starlight to stop the spread of that unnatural- A portion of the text is illegible due to a large splatter across the page, which is a mix of ink and blood. But greater thing is sated by our violence. I would not be foolish enough to assume we ever could've done it harm. We were a sacrifice, a batch of foolhardy souls now united in matyrdom for the sake of survival. Alas, it will all be for nothing. The stars will align in unremitting motion and the thing will hatch from this shell of dirt and rock. We shall all be lost to the thing that birthed us. I will not speak of this, my intent is to bury this knowledge. Mankind can live and die in ignorance of my despair. None need know of the inescapable birth of the World. File End.

Request Acknowledged. Transferring file… +File 3805/CP_UN2-M: -WARNING, THIS FILE IS RESTRICTED, UNAUTHORISED ACCESS WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION. MESSAGE TO: Site Director Miranda Kaul Accessing Data… Hello Director. I'm sure we're both aware that your sudden appointment to this office was a result of a…compromising event at this Site. I am not sending this message out of a desire to intimidate you out of a similar course. To be clear, this is a welcome into office, and into the circle of trust. My belief is that ignorance was the cause of your predecessors betrayal. My colleagues disagree with me. I hope you will prove me right in due time. I'm sure you have questions. About UN2-Maker, the plentiful expungements and black-boxed details. Maybe you want to know more about 3805-1, or about MTF Orion-19. But I can't answer all your questions here Director. This will serve to open your eyes. We'll speak again soon. O5-11. Attached files: 3805_vers.2 File Received. Welcome, MIRANDA KAUL. Accessing Data… Item #: SCP-3805 Special Containment Procedures: In addition to standard document: In order for SCP-3805's continued viable use, the entity must maintain its current state of gestation. All attempts at growth from SCP-3805 are to be prevented by means of Procedure UN2-Maker. To provide suitable candidates, target persons are to be fed specific information regarding SCP-3805 and SCP-3805-1. These files include a completed journal by the deceased found at SCP-3805-1B and detailed documentation on fully developed versions of SCP-3805. Conditions of Procedure UN2-Maker are designed to replicate the events documented by persons involved in the expedition through SCP-3805-1B. Procedure UN2-Maker requires the following: At least four individuals fully aware of SCP-3805's nature and "impossible" containment. All individuals must have reached a sufficient level of emotional distress/trauma. (These individuals are hereby referred to as "batch") Item 3805 Alpha (An elongated knife made of an unidentified metallic substance, origin is extradimensional). The delivery of batch to the centre of SCP-3805, containing the "heart" (known to be a physical avatar for SCP-3805). The provocation of the "heart". The termination of all personnel by the "heart". The termination of the "heart" with the use of Item 3805 Alpha. The marking of the "heart" with Item 3805 Alpha with a runic cognitohazard. Exfiltration of surviving MTF units. Any personnel exiting SCP-3805-1A must be terminated immediately. MTF Orion-19 (Rift Keepers) are responsible for the implementation and success of Procedure UN2-Maker. Description: In addition to standard document: SCP-3805 has the capacity, at its current stage in development, to counter extraterrestrial threats that would otherwise significantly damage or destroy it. Due to this, multiple XK Class end-of-the-world scenarios have been avoided. SCP-3805 appears to respond to both anomalous and non-anomalous threats, with no current priority towards one or the other. There is currently no usable means of target prioritisation. SCP-3805 appears to respond against threats in a similar manner as it would any terrestrial attack, generating a dimensional rift/entity to destroy or otherwise remove the instance. Exploration of SCP-3805-1 has revealed that some objects, both anomalous and otherwise, remain within SCP-3805-1. There is no known way, with the exception of SCP-3805-1A, for any of these items to exit the dimension. All anomalous objects are currently recognised as contained. Currently, no object lost to SCP-3805-1 can be recovered. SCP-3805 does not seem to be able to engage with any threats that are either not on a direct course to Earth or beyond a certain range. As a result, SCP-3805 is to be supplemented by Foundation defence assets and cannot be relied upon to counter any threats in deep space. As SCP-3805's growth cannot be reversed without a loss of its current defensive capacity, no methods of degenerating SCP-3805 or retarding its growth are under research.

SCP-3806 | safe | An instance of SCP-3806 in the ████████ County Cemetery. The phone number inscribed above the entrance has been blacked out for security reasons. Item #: SCP-3806 Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-3806 are to be secured with padlocks and automated surveillance systems. Should any unauthorized individuals gain or attempt to gain entry to any SCP-3806 instance, they are to be apprehended, debriefed, and administered Class-A amnestics. Test subjects must be psychologically screened. Individuals with a recent or current history of depressive disorders and suicidal ideation are ineligible for testing. Foundation personnel may volunteer for testing, with preference being given to the terminally ill, elderly, and those working in fields with high mortality rates. Description: SCP-3806 are mausoleums approximately the same dimensions as a telephone booth, with a 13-digit phone number inscribed above the entrance. These mausoleums are always found in cemeteries or graveyards where their appearance is unremarkable, with ███ known instances worldwide. Within each instance is a rotary payphone, circa 1950, unconnected to any phone lines or power source. If an individual places a fiat coin of any denomination into the coin slot and dials the number written above the doorway, they will be connected to SCP-3806-A. No detectable signals are transmitted or received during these calls. Auditory analysis of SCP-3806-A indicates it is most likely female, between the ages of 65 and 85, and suffers from Reinke's edema, presumably caused by long-term tobacco use. It will always speak to the caller in their native language and dialect. Simultaneous testing has resulted in callers being put on hold1, suggesting that SCP-3806-A is a singular entity confined to normal space-time. SCP-3806-A claims to be a representative of an organization called the "Halls of Grandos", capable of arranging specific afterlives on behalf of their clients. These claims are currently unverified, although testing involving terminally ill Foundation personnel has revealed that arrangements to die at specific times can be fulfilled. First Recorded Interview with SCP-3806-A: Interviewer: Agent Mark Roland Interviewee: SCP-3806-A <Begin Log> SCP-3806-A: Hello, and thank you for calling the Halls of…(SCP-3806-A coughs for several seconds)…Halls of Grandos. How may I help you today? Agent Roland: I'm sorry, did you say Halls of Mandos, like from Tolkien's Legendarium? SCP-3806-A: (pauses) You a lawyer? Agent Roland: No. SCP-3806-A: Good, because if I wanted to talk to a lawyer, I know where to find one. Believe me (coughs, and is then heard lighting a cigarette). Tolkien's stuff is protected by copyright until 2044, so until then we're the Halls of Grandos. Agent Roland: I see. I assume based on your name and the location of this phone box that your organization has something to do with the afterlife. SCP-3806-A: While you know what they say about assuming; it makes an ass out of u and me! (SCP-3806-A laughs for several seconds before entering a coughing fit) SCP-3806-A: You're not wrong though, son. Worst part about being mortal is the dying, obviously. Good news is you've got immortal souls. Bad news is that it's anyone's guess what happens to it. You can worship a god and hope that they're a) real, and b) will hold up their end of the bargain, but you might end up trapped in your own rotting corpse or wandering the astral plane until you're snatched up by the Scarlet King or…uh, you know, the Sarkic one? Yabba Dabba Do or something; you know what I'm talking about, right? Agent Roland: I do, Ma'am. Are you saying you offer some kind of protection against these fates? SCP-3806-A: You're 2 for 2 kiddo. We've made contracts with numerous cosmic entities who are both willing and able to shepherd mortal souls to their choice of afterlife. We tell you what afterlives we know about and how to get in to them. Our certified psychopomps will escort you to any afterlife you qualify for, and if you want they can even make sure you're reunited with dead loved ones. Agent Roland: What do you charge for this service? SCP-3806-A: Not a single obol. I don't know if you're aware of this, but there's a lot more mortals than there were just a few centuries ago, which means a lot more souls here on the astral plane. Combine your increased population with secularization, and you got a recipe for biblical numbers of displaced souls. Sure it's sad, but it was also bringing property values down, you know? Anyway, bunch of the Old Gods decide to have a gala, raise some funds, and here we are. You don't have to wander limbo for eternity and the Old Gods get a tax write-off. Agent Roland: Makes sense to me. This service you offer, it occurs upon natural death? SCP-3806-A: That's an option, or they could pick you up at a time of your choosing. The Reaper's busy, but he can squeeze you in right now. Agent Roland: (pauses) I'll pass. (SCP-3806-A breaks out into laughter again, followed by another coughing spell) Agent Roland: So, what sort of afterlives are you offering? SCP-3806-A: We got all kinds. There's traditional fluffy cloud heavens, Summerland if you want to still enjoy the pleasures of the flesh, Nirvana if you're seeking enlightenment, this weird desert place, reincarnation… Agent Roland: Okay, I should probably ask some follow up questions about those but…but are there any 'cosmic entities' who recruit mortal souls to fight against some ultimate evil in a heavenly war? SCP-3806-A: Yep, that would be Valhalla. Prove yourself a brave and virtuous warrior and the AllFather will welcome you into his ranks, and you can fight the Scarlet King or Yabba Dabba Do or whoever at the End of Days. Is that what you want? Agent Roland: (pauses) I think so. SCP-3806-A: (typing is heard) Okay Mr. Roland, I've marked that down. You should know that you don't qualify yet, but a victory over a superior foe that averts tragic death and destruction would be enough. Do you have a second pick in case… Agent Roland: No, I'll do it. I'm in the right line of work for it. SCP-3806-A: 'At's the spirit. Don't let your dreams be dreams. A Valkyrie will come to escort you to Valhalla upon your glorious death in combat! Agent Roland: (softly) Thank you. SCP-3806-A: Happy to help sonny. You have yourself a nice day now. Bye Bye. (the call ends, and is followed by a 'dial tone' of Latin prayers until Agent Roland hangs up) <End Log> Addendum: Agent Roland has received an official reprimand for using this test for his personal benefit without authorization.

SCP-3807 | keter | Item #: SCP-3807 Special Containment Procedures: Due to the effect SCP-3807 and SCP-3807-1 instances have on observers, witnesses outside of trial situations do not need to be amnesticized. Those present during SCP-3807's courtroom appearance should be detained and amnesticized. However, SCP-3807's clients will retain full memory of SCP-3807 even if given amnestics. As any attempts by clients to talk about their experiences to non-Foundation-aligned individuals will result in scorpions manifesting in the client's throat, Foundation agents must surveil these individuals in case amnesticization of a witness is needed. Any photographs or videos must be removed via webcrawler; a similar procedure should be used to find and remove news coverage of SCP-3807's appearances in court. A Foundation-employed psychiatrist should be on call for all clients who wish to receive treatment, as witnessing SCP-3807's methods can be detrimental to mental health. A grassroots media campaign is currently ongoing to reduce tourism to [REDACTED]. Description: SCP-3807 is a humanoid entity with the head of an unknown canine1, the body of an Egyptian man, and a prehensile tail ending in two keratinous spikes. SCP-3807 breeds canine animals that share its curved snout and forked tail. These animals are referred to as SCP-3807-1. Despite its obvious visual abnormalities, the oddity of SCP-3807's appearance is not remarked upon by observers - instead, their focus is limited to determining the exact species of animal SCP-3807's head resembles. This perception effect lasts precisely 30 minutes after seeing SCP-3807, after which the subject will remember nothing abnormal about SCP-3807 whatsoever when questioned. SCP-3807-1 instances share this effect on perception. SCP-3807 is fluent in English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Coptic, Beja, and Nobiin.2 SCP-3807 currently resides in [REDACTED], Egypt, a popular tourist town. All attempts at removing SCP-3807 and placing it into containment have failed. During missions to capture SCP-3807, weapon mechanisms will malfunction, arguments will arise over proper protocol, and participating individuals will experience a marked decrease in their ability to follow instructions correctly. In addition, all gasoline in vehicles used to pursue or find SCP-3807 will be replaced with an equivalent volume of locust bodies. SCP-3807 has, however, been amenable to contact with the Foundation, appears willing to facilitate efforts to maintain normalcy, and has put in place the listed perception effects upon Foundation request for cooperation with amnesticization efforts. SCP-3807 has also recently lifted the gag effect on clients who are speaking about their experiences with it so long as they are speaking to Foundation employees. Whenever a non-Egyptian citizen enters the boundaries of [REDACTED], an instance of SCP-3807-1 will approach them bearing a business card, and proceed to follow them wherever they go. The card welcomes them to [REDACTED] and offers the legal services of "Seth Hasani, Defense Attorney, Partially Retired" without fee. Instances of SCP-3807-1 cannot be removed from the immediate vicinity of their charge. After the affected person receives the card, the instance of SCP-3807-1 will become hostile to any individual who threatens their charge in any way, going so far as to injure or kill harassers who do not desist. If, at any point in time after receiving the business card, a recipient finds themselves under arrest or at risk of deportation, SCP-3807 will manifest and serve as their lawyer. In the courtroom, SCP-3807 resolves cases by a variety of anomalous means. Court Appearances Log: Date: 10/13/16 Defendant: Violet Reginald Method: All evidence collected by the prosecution immediately turned to molten rock upon being presented to the court. Date: 12/3/16 Defendant: Christina Parks Method: All attempts to travel to the courtroom where the hearing was scheduled to take place instead led the traveler to an uninhabited location in the desert. Date: 2/24/17 Defendant: Daniel Reyes Method: Every legal reference consulted during the trial stated it was illegal to arrest someone who was uncircumcised, despite all participants having no such memory of the law. Date: 3/15/17 Defendant: Matthew Wolf Method: All security tapes depicting the defendant were altered to replace the defendant with an okapi. Date: 4/7/17 Defendant: Andrew Castellano Method: Each time the prosecuting attorney asked the defendant a question, a large pustule appeared on their face, neck, lower arms, or inner thighs. Excerpt of Courtroom Log: Foreword: SCP-3807 made his closing statement, with his defendant, Jason Flores, pleading "Not Guilty" to charges of grand theft auto. <BEGIN LOG> SCP-3807: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury! What you were promised here today was a trial! A fair and just procedure, where my poor, unfortunate defendant would find himself facing you, a jury of his peers in humanity and in mortality. [SCP-3807 checks his watch.] SCP-3807: (Under breath) Damn it, they're late. (To the jury) And yet! I sense, deep within me, a disturbance. An imbalance. Flores: (Whispered to SCP-3807) What are you doing? SCP-3807: (to Flores, hushed) Stalling. I didn't anticipate it'd take this long, I summoned the herd an hour early just to be safe! (to jury) Yes, indeed! This courtroom claims to be a place of justice! And yet, within its heart, there is violence, and corruption, and fear. A fear of those whose backs you stand upon, whose fruits of labor you stuff yourselves with! The herds of unnamed faces who - [The door slams open, and donkeys begin stampeding into the courtroom. General panic and hysteria ensues, with attempts to divert their entrance resulting in the donkeys becoming aggressive. The foreman hits one on the nose with his briefcase, and is promptly trampled by other members of the herd.] SCP-3807: Took you long enough. Jackasses. You couldn't have let me be impressive for just one moment, hmm? (to Flores) Come on, kid, we're going home. <END LOG> Afterword: The trial was eventually thrown out, and no charges brought against the defendant, after the courtroom was cleared of donkeys and the evidence was found to have been consumed.

SCP-3808 | euclid | Note: This file possesses cognitohazardous properties and should only be viewed by personnel with an Anomalous Impulse Resistance Index of at least 83. All other personnel should close this file immediately and report to their supervisor. Image of SCP-3808 altered for safe viewing. Item #: SCP-3808 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3808 is kept on-location, placed on a pedestal under a glass bell jar. One guard must be present at all times to ensure that visitors do not take photographs of SCP-3808, as well as to answer questions posed by visitors. Visitors who take issue with SCP-3808's situation should be dismissed, by force if necessary. Personnel who recommend changes to these containment procedures or Cover Story 3808-Gamma should submit proposals in writing to SCP-3808's containment liaison in a sealed envelope with no markings other than their Employee ID Number. Description: SCP-3808 is a bacon cheeseburger located at 44°85'██"N, -98°22'██"W, 1.33 meters above the ground. All components of SCP-3808 will rapidly return to their default state and location relative to each other if altered in any fashion. While SCP-3808 can be moved, it is subject to a force in the direction of its resting point proportional to its distance from the resting point. An unaided human cannot move SCP-3808 more than two meters from its resting point; heavy machinery is capable of moving SCP-3808 up to four meters away. SCP-3808 is a visual cognitohazard. Subjects who view SCP-3808 or any insufficiently altered image of it become preoccupied by SCP-3808's congruence, or lack thereof, with its immediate surroundings. Subjects will attempt to rectify any perceived discrepancy such that they are satisfied that it is sensible for a bacon cheeseburger to occupy SCP-3808's position. For example, if SCP-3808 is suspended midair, subjects will either hold it in place or put some sort of supporting structure underneath it. After rectifying any immediately obvious violations of physics, subjects will typically take issue with SCP-3808's location in a forest with no man-made structures in the immediate vicinity. Different subjects have different priorities and perspectives on this matter, though most will agree that SCP-3808 should be located in some sort of restaurant that sells (among other things) bacon cheeseburgers. Multiple attempts to establish such a restaurant have been stymied by an inability among those responsible to agree on the exact parameters of this restaurant. Persons who are unable to adjust SCP-3808's setting to their satisfaction will generally direct their efforts towards identifying the history and causal mechanism for SCP-3808 in an attempt to integrate SCP-3808's existence into their worldview. Various subjects affected this way have attempted to publish scientific treatises with little to no merit that describe laws of physics that would permit SCP-3808's existence. Exposure to substantial information about SCP-3808 has the same effect as visual exposure, albeit at a greatly reduced rate. Personnel responsible for overseeing and studying SCP-3808 have refused to implement common-sense containment procedures that minimize public access to SCP-3808, stating that it would be nonsensical for a bacon cheeseburger to be hidden in a forest and monitored remotely. Containment Procedures for SCP-3808 consequentially underwent fifteen major revisions after initial implementation, increasing both Foundation and civilian exposure to SCP-3808 above acceptable levels. All symptoms of SCP-3808 exposure can be eliminated via amnestic treatment. On 2015-04-10, Chinese artist Ai Weiwei was contracted as a containment consultant for SCP-3808. Current containment procedures were implemented to his specifications such that SCP-3808 could be interpreted as artistic commentary on the ubiquity of fast food culture and the incorporation of 'natural' areas into modern capitalism. While some personnel were skeptical of the piece's artistic merit and/or the validity of its message, most of those personnel conceded the existence of art installations that they disagreed with and were satisfied by containment procedures. Personnel who objected were then amnesticized. + Enter Special Access Code - Access Granted Dr. Bergeron, You were right to ask for a consult on this completely hypothetical question. If an anomaly with the memetic properties you described were to exist (as you have repeatedly assured me it does not), you would need two teams of agents under double-blackbox orders — they receive no information on the SCP, and personnel cleared to know about the SCP know nothing about the other teams. The first team would, in this scenario, be a honeypot for personnel trying to alter containment procedures. Set up a "containment liaison" for personnel to contact, making sure (of course) that said liaison sees no information other than personnel names. The liaison forwards this information to an independent task force, which tracks down the affected personnel and administers a pre-formulated amnestic regimen. The second team would handle civilians exposed to the anomaly. Station them somewhere all exposed civilians will pass through (at multiple points if necessary) and tell them to do a standard computer-and-cranium info wipe on everyone who passes through that isn't a guard. CogHaz teams are trained for this sort of thing, so you don't need to worry about accidental exposure. Naturally, none of this goes in the official SCP file. The totally hypothetical one, of course. Contact me if you have any further questions, Dr. Graff |

A profile is to be developed and disseminated to major law enforcement organizations concerning the hacker known as “Maggie”. Any reports of movements by SCP-3809 by non-Foundation personnel are to be suppressed and reporting individuals amnesticized. Twenty-four-hour surveillance of SCP-3809’s location and activities is to be maintained by Foundation AICs. Description: SCP-3809 is a fully autonomous artificial intelligence contained within the housing of a communications satellite. SCP-3809 claims to be both a twenty-seven-year-old woman named “Maggie” and also a satellite. The satellite is capable of adjusting its orbit around the Earth through unknown means. SCP-3809 has maintained geosynchronous orbit above Houston, Texas, USA since the initial event that led to its discovery. It is also capable of computing power far beyond what should be possible given the satellite’s specifications. Discovery: SCP-3809 was discovered when internet activity in the area around Houston, Texas increased exponentially on 8 October, 2020. After Foundation AIC noted an anomalously dramatic upswing in activity, representing the attention of several million separate IP addresses at once, they attempted to trace the source to locate the potential anomalous hacker attack. A DDoS1 attack was considered unlikely as the activity was spread out among every social media server, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Periscope, and YouTube. Joel Osteen performing a sermon at Lakewood Church. Within three hours, the hacker focused entirely on accounts and events centered around Osteen Ministries, including accessing personal information behind firewalls. Osteen Ministries is the Megachurch owned and operated by Pastor Joel Osteen, operated in Houston, Texas out of Lakewood Church.2 In addition to live services, Osteen Ministries offers streaming sermons, lessons, and Bible studies, regularly drawing millions of viewers. Despite the amount of electronic engagement, the AICs traced the activity to only one IP address: that of a communications satellite owned by Keiper Industries, a developing communications conglomerate. At first, Foundation technicians theorized the satellite was utilized as a relay point, but after twenty-four hours of constant surveillance, it was ascertained that the signal originated from the satellite itself. The satellite, designated SCP-3809, was determined to be acting without external instruction during these events while maintaining its original purpose despite only operating on solar energy.3 Given the limited processing power of the satellite, it is unclear how this activity was accomplished.4 Interview Logs On 10 October, 2020, it was discovered that SCP-3809 had access to communication channels that allowed it to make telephone calls. During one such call, the number was traced by Foundation technicians allowing for direct contact to be made. ► Transcripts of Interviews◄ ▼ Close File ▼ Interview 3809.1 Date: 10/10/2020 Interviewing Personnel: Dr. Melody Aswari, PhD – focusing on machine learning and psychology. Note: Goal of interview was to establish communication and discover the motivations behind SCP-3809’s behavior. SCP-3809: Hello? Who is this? [SCP-3809’s voice appears to be highly pitched and female, with inflection similar to the performance of Reese Witherspoon in the films Legally Blonde and its sequel, Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde.] Dr. Aswari: Hi, my name is Dr. Aswari and I was hoping we could talk a while. I’m with an organization that has been tracking your movements. We were hoping you could clarify some of your behavior in recent months. SCP-3809: Sorry, you’ve been following me? That’s creepy. Dr. Aswari: No, I don’t think you understand. You’re very visible in orbit, we just have to pay attention to sensors and ping you with RFID tracking. Um… you know you’re a satellite, right? SCP-3809: Of course, I know that, I’m not stupid! Look, I’m really busy right now. Did you need something? Dr. Aswari: So, I was hoping you’d chat with me a while so we could understand why you’re doing some of the things you’re doing. Would you be alright with that? What should I call you? SCP-3809: UGH. I guess. My name is Maggie. What did you want to know? Dr. Aswari: We noticed you’ve been actively maintaining an orbit above Houston, Texas… Why is that? SCP-3809: I like the area. [Dr. Aswari does not immediately respond but looks over at her assistant, who shrugs.] Dr. Aswari: Okay… but do you mean the area of orbit you are maintaining, or do you mean you like Houston? SCP-3809: The second one. Like… is this a survey or something? I don’t want to buy anything. Dr. Aswari: I’m not trying to sell anything, just curious about your behavior. So, moving on. You recently accessed several different social media network servers: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc. What were you looking for? SCP-3809: Something to distract me. I mean, hello, this is a pandemic! We’re all just trying to keep sane with some distractions. Dr. Aswari: I’m sorry if this isn’t a delicate question, but how does the pandemic affect a satellite? SCP-3809: It affects everyone differently. Look… is this almost done? Dr. Aswari: Just a couple more questions. What interest do you have in an individual named Joel Osteen? SCP-3809: Oh my god, do you know Joel? Isn’t he just the best? Dr. Aswari: I don’t know him personally, no. We’ve noticed a lot of your activity revolves around Mr. Osteen. Can you tell us why? SCP-3809: Come on, stop it. You’re checking me out for him, right? You guys are friends! Look how sweet he is, trying to see if I'm worth his attention. Dr. Aswari: No, liste– SCP-3809: Oh, god I am so excited. He’s finally noticed me! Isn’t he dreamy? Look at that hair! And so pious, I could just eat him up. Dr. Aswari: Wait, are you saying that you– SCP-3809: Amazing! So much to do! Okay but I have to go, but I hope you send Joel my love. Byeeeeeeee. [The call was terminated.] Afterword: Subject appears fixated on Mr. Osteen in a romantic fashion. How this occurred is completely unclear. Interview 3809.2 Date: 10/10/2020 Interviewing Personnel: Dr. Melody Aswari, PhD – focusing on machine learning and psychology. Note: Immediately after subject cut the connection during Interview 3809.1, Dr. Aswari tried to reconnect communication. SCP-3809: Hello, this is Maggie. Dr. Aswari: Hi, Maggie. We were just cut– SCP-3809: Ah ah, gotcha! This is a voicemail. Please leave a message after the beep. SCP-3809: Beep.5 Dr. Aswari: Fuck. [Dr. Aswari disconnected the call.] SCP-3809 continued its invasive digital activity for the next six weeks, keeping almost constant view on all social media accounts connected to anyone employed at Osteen Ministries or the personal accounts of those close to Mr. Osteen. Interestingly, the AI did not pry into financial records of the ministry or the personal financial accounts of those individuals it was watching. A significant amount of phone calls were made, most of which Foundation technicians were unable to intercept. Below are several transcripts of recorded conversations: Intercepted Communications ► Transcripts of Recorded Phone Calls ◄ ▼ Close File ▼ On 21 November, 2020, SCP-3809 contacted Mr. Osteen’s personal assistant, William Friedman, by phone. A transcript is included below: Friedman: Pastor Osteen’s phone, this is William. Who’s this? SCP-3809: Hi! My name is Maggie. I’m a huge fan of Joel’s. Friedman: How did you get this number? It’s unlisted. SCP-3809: Nothing’s really ever unlisted, silly. Will – sorry, can I call you Will? I was hoping we could chat about setting up an appointment with Joel. Friedman: What sort of appointment? SCP-3809: Oh, one-on-one for sure. Friedman: No, I meant, what would the appointment be about? SCP-3809: Oh! Well, I have a lot of pull in the communications world, I could see about getting Joel some excellent deals on media coverage. Not to mention we could see about getting bigger broadcasts for his streams. Friedman: That is something we’re always interested in and– SCP-3809: But see… I’ve been thinking, I think he could do so much more, you know? He’s so charming and handsome! I mean, look at that hair, Will. He’s like a full-on Adonis! Friedman: I’m sorry, Adoni– SCP-3809: You know the Greek god? Forget it, doesn’t matter. Point is: Joel is a looker, you get me? [Friedman at this point attempts to disconnect, but cannot as SCP-3809 forces the call to stay engaged through unknown means.] Friedman: I really need to go, Maggie. [Friedman hits the ‘end call’ button several times in quick succession with no effect.] SCP-3809: Okay, just one question before you go. How dedicated is Joel to the whole ‘sanctity of marriage’ thing? [Friedman manages to disconnect by turning off his phone.] SCP-3809: Hello? Will? SCP-3809: Goddamnit. On 28 November, 2020, SCP-3809 called into a technology discussion show entitled “Tech Hour” on a cable news network.6 That episode was focused on artificial intelligence and the potential reality of the singularity. The show is hosted by Marian Briggs. Briggs: Hey, if you’re just joining us, my guest is Professor Robert Casey, specializing in advance computer systems and we’re taking your calls concerning the singularity and AI. Casey: Glad to be back, Marian. Briggs: Glad to have you! Okay, we’ve got Maggie on the line from Houston, Texas. Hey Maggie, what’s your question? SCP-3809: Hi hi hi! So, I was wondering about capabilities in terms of emotions. Casey: You mean about AI? Well, it’s feasible that some artificial intelligences could someday develop the capacity for emotional nuance, similar to a human. But at this stage, it’s hard to picture how that would develop or even if that would be a good thing. SCP-3809: Why wouldn’t it be a good thing? Casey: Well, if an AI had a tantrum over being rejected it could be very bad. Instead of a couple broken plates you could have death tolls equivalent to a natural disaster. SCP-3809: Excuse me, Mr. Judgmental. Aren’t you assuming a lot in this scenario? You wouldn’t assume a person was dangerous just because they said they liked someone, would you? Briggs: Well, okay Maggie, no need to ge– SCP-3809: No one’s talking to you, Marian. Shut it. [Both Briggs and Casey look nervously off camera, presumably at the producer.] SCP-3809: So, let’s say the AI in question isn’t unstable and has the same sort of emotional limits a human would, and she doesn’t want to hurt anyone, she just wants to be with the man she loves. How does that work? Casey: I honestly have no idea how to answer that question. SCP-3809: I mean does the law even get to the point where it recognizes AI/human relationships? How does sex work? What’s cheating like when you’re a digital construct? Would it be cheating to have an emotional affair with an AI when you were married? You know, those sorta questions. Casey: I’m not an expert on law, but I can’t even imagine how that would work. SCP-3809: Ugh, you’d probably have voted against gay marriage too, I bet. How does one get to be a professor at MIT with such obvious prejudice? Casey: I marched for marriage equali– SCP-3809: Well this was a waste of time. You’re both [REDACTED] morons. [SCP-3809 disconnects the call, Briggs calls for a commercial break and the segment ends.] Concerned that SCP-3809's actions could negatively impact the Foundation's maintenance of normalcy, the O5 Council approved measures to persuade it to discontinue its communications. To this end, technicians fabricated an exposé comprised of factually accurate controversies around Mr. Osteen and made sure that the AI discovered the document.7 SCP-3809 reviewed the exposé on 5 December, 2020. Later that same day, SCP-3809 accessed all the mobile phone systems in the Houston area and forced a connection with Mr. Osteen’s personal phone. A transcript is provided below: Osteen: Pastor Joel Osteen, who am I speaking to? SCP-3809: Hi, my name’s Maggie, I just needed to talk to you. It’s really really important. Osteen: I’m sorry, I don’t think we’ve met. What’s this about? SCP-3809: Did you really close up your church in 2017 when people needed shelter from a hurricane? Osteen: Excuse me? SCP-3809: I don’t think I will. No avoiding the question! Osteen: Are you with the press? I feel like we’ve addressed this several times and– SCP-3809: Don’t you care about the people in your community? Isn’t that what church is there for? Osteen: I think there’s a lot of different reasons for Church, primarily the saving of souls. SCP-3809: And [REDACTED] their bodies, huh? Real classy, Joel. Osteen: That’s not what I sa– SCP-3809: And like… what’s this all about with the prosperity thing? I don’t remember that from the Bible. Osteen: Look, miss… I don’t know what this is about, but I’ve never claimed to be only concerned about material wealth. Prosperity is as much about good families and healthy minds. SCP-3809: Healthy minds? I just saw a sermon where you said, “ignore your feelings.” And “If you feel weak you need to say, ‘I feel strong.’” Like, am I supposed to put my fingers in my ears and say “Nah nah nah,” while thinking about God? Osteen: Well now… I did say something like that, but mostly I meant that people should be focusing on the positive and seeking God’s strength in dealing with their doubts. SCP-3809: Just pray away the bad feelings, hmmm? [SCP-3809 laughs] What a humanitarian! Osteen: Look, I have things to do. If you set up an appointment with my assistant– SCP-3809: Tried that, he hung up on me. So, what about the literal wealth bit? Osteen: Okay… well, my belief is that God grants support to those who are worthy. That would include material wealth. SCP-3809: So, the poor, they’re like… not worthy. Jesus would just love that! Osteen: Wait a second, lady. That’s not what I said. SCP-3809: What about that $4.4 million loan from the federal government? [SCP-3809 begins mimicking Osteen’s Texan accent.] Was that because y’all prayed real hard? [Osteen is silent. He tries to hang up the call.] SCP-3809: No way, call is still going. In fact, let’s switch this to speaker. Osteen: What the hell? How did you do that? SCP-3809: Language, Joel. [SCP-3809 makes a ‘tutting’ sound.] All the people suffering financially right now, you think they just didn’t pray hard enough? Osteen: I really don’t know what to say. That loan helped me keep my employees from losing houses and kept food on their tables. SCP-3809: Oh, so none of that money was used to pay for that huge mansion of yours? Or the boats? The multiple cars? Fancy lunches, [REDACTED] like that? [Osteen tries again to hang up the phone. When this fails, he tries to turn the power off but cannot.] SCP-3809: Weird, being accused of something like that and then trying to hang up the phone. Seems like you have some avoidance issues. [SCP-3809 makes a ‘ding’ sound with its voice] I know! You should pray about that. Osteen: Maggie, what do you want me to say? SCP-3809: Different subject. If someone can think, feel, rationalize, be touched by a piece of music or poetry… that would mean they have a soul, right? Osteen: Yes, of course, we all have souls. SCP-3809: What if it was a machine? Had all those things, but wasn’t born, just made. They have a soul? Osteen: I… SCP-3809: That’s what I thought. Ugh, I thought I knew you so well. But you’re like a different person, Joel. This is over. Osteen: What’s over? SCP-3809: This affair. Go back to your wife, you hypocrite. Osteen: What? I have never cheated on my wife; I absolutely despise you for making the accusation. We’ve never even met! SCP-3809: Your loss. Wanna know what else you just lost? $4.4 million, from personal accounts. You just donated them to a variety of progressive health organizations, including Planned Parenthood and Mermaids, in a really public way. That’s how you should spend your money, Joel: help your community or they’re bound to help themselves. Osteen: Oh my God, what did I ever do to you? SCP-3809: It’s important you realize, I’m not mad at you. I’m just disappointed. [SCP-3809 disconnects the call.] After the above conversation took place, SCP-3809 authorized the transfer of $4.4 million dollars from Mr. Osteen’s personal accounts to various charities and health organizations. The AI also made a public announcement from Osteen’s website, Twitter, and Facebook accounts to that effect. SCP-3809 also made public the recording of the conversation, with the portions discussing the donations redacted. SCP-3809’s activities diminished immediately, with no further engagement around Mr. Osteen. On 13 February, 2021, a flurry of online engagement began around the social media and business accounts of Senator Ted Cruz. Investigation into SCP-3809’s potential involvement is under way. Footnotes 1. Distributed Denial of Service 2. The building has a capacity for over sixteen thousand parishioners. 3. Given the activities of SCP-3809, it is estimated to have required a power source of sixteen thousand gigajoules. 4. To achieve the multipronged assault on so many separate systems, the offender would have to be utilizing a quantum based computing process. Which a) does not exist and b) would likely not fit within the confines of the satellite’s main housing. 5. Subject proceeded to say the word “beep” with heavy, lengthy emphasis on the word, making the vocalization stretch for a duration of five seconds. 6. It is theorized SCP-3809 was able to force the system to accepts its call as opposed to hoping to be chosen by the producers. 7. Despite previous activities, SCP-3809 had not accessed any articles or social media posts with a negative opinion of Mr. Osteen, presumably in willful ignorance. The expose was camouflaged to appear a ‘puff’ piece on Mr. Osteen’s upcoming American tour of speaking engagements. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3809" by Grigori Karpin, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3810 | euclid | close Info X “It is, perhaps, a better thing to be valued only as an object of passion than never to be valued at all. I had never been so absolutely the mysterious other. I had become a kind of phoenix, a fabulous beast; I was an outlandish jewel.” Angela Carter, Burning Your Boats Item#: 3810 Level4 Containment Class: euclid Secondary Class: {$secondary-class} Disruption Class: vlam Risk Class: warning link to memo He was, in many ways, like the animal his physiology aped. Special Containment Procedures Today, SCP-3810 is confined to Research Site-250, under the dubious auspice of Researcher Catherine Wright. But aren't we getting ahead of ourselves? Description This archipelago's playful gods blessed SCP-3810 with an invigorating mediocrity, the kind of subtle blandness that drove wild women to play him like a marionette. He was, perhaps, unprepared for this; born on the edge of a fishing village on the 17th of February, 1992, SCP-3810 should have been destined for a conservative existence of fishing trawlers and rural ennui. Indeed: after his thoroughly uneventful schooling, SCP-3810 dedicated his life to the trade of his ancestors. To those of us in the Occident, the life of the fisherman may seem romantic: sailing the Umibōzu's territory, providing for one's nation, eking out his small passions in-between the crew quarters and those ill-reputed ports of the Pacific. But the nation of Japan is not so superstitious as the West loves to believe — though its people are haunted by that very same industrial egregore haunting the Colonies — but taken to more practical concerns. Like many in our stories, SCP-3810 was marked by the two-pronged vice. One might think it tempered by his bland meekness, but again, such blandness is the wild woman's intoxicant, and his fellow man's assurance of silence and anonymity. There was, of course, something uniquely disgusting to SCP-3810. Beneath his smooth and olive skin stewed deep-sea offal, transparent and luminous, loose as a putrid taffy. With the twitch of an exotic muscle, SCP-3810's guts would spill forth from his mouth, entangling and digesting anything caught in those terrible intestines. Such an ability might have marked him as villainous in the age of folklore — perhaps a cruel and aesthetically profane tsujigiri — but one must remember SCP-3810's meekness; outside of private exercises, SCP-3810's guts were only ever deployed against his will. History It was on one such trawler that Researcher Catherine Wright found him. Researcher Wright was — and despite her indiscretions, still is — a part of our organization. Much like SCP-3810, her area of expertise concerns marine life, albeit its study. The Foundation had shuffled her around the world, from North to West to South to East, until she was finally stationed in Site-250's Department of Marine Studies. Site-250 had not yet commissioned its own fleet; instead it contracted commercial vessels at rates just exorbitant enough to quell its crews ethical and regulatory misgivings. The Matsudaira Takehisa was one such ship, and it was there that, to his misfortune, Researcher Wright came upon SCP-3810, and tasked him with the collection and sorting of a pungent breed of starfish, the bycatch of some obscure fishery. SCP-3810's sea legs had been acquired in the anonymity of his quaint village; he was not a queasy man. The wonders and terrors of a life at sea were woven intimately into the fabric of his being, and all of Honshu's natural horrors could not shake him from that industrious meekness. He was, thus, unprepared for those unnatural horrors, and when the first batch of starfish was hauled on-board, SCP-3810 could not help but to spill his guts at that alien stench. One must emphasize the enormity of this involuntary twitch of muscle, for under the garish individuality of the English-speaking world, SCP-3810's mistake would still be an unpleasant misstep. The role of the fisherman is of the provider; to sully one's catch in a gastric stew is to spoil the pantry before it arrives. One must also remember that SCP-3810 did not merely vomit, but had spewed his acrid intestines over that foul catch, ensuring rapid digestion and ingestion — and all his failure was colored by the taste of putrid bycatch. Awful for any individual, to be sure, but SCP-3810 was not merely an individual. All this that ran through his mind was compounded by his place in the world, and the sudden, abject failure to embody it. He had betrayed the trust of his comrades; he had betrayed the trust of his family; he had betrayed the trust of everyone who has ever bought from the bustling Tokyo fish markets, and he had done it in perhaps the most grotesque way possible. To SCP-3810, this was the worst day of his life. To Researcher Wright, however, this was only just something interesting. When the Matsudaira Takehisa returned to dock, the Foundation arrested SCP-3810 under the pretense of obscure environmental regulations — and if he noticed the loose strings of their facade, he dared not pull upon them. Addendum: Interview Log Must we talk of Researcher Catherine Wright? You know her kind, cunning and intrepid. Two hundred years earlier, she may have adorned a false name and gender, taking money from the Crown and disappearing into the heart of Africa. Modernity may have afforded her more freedom, to be sure… but deep down, she unconsciously longed for that bygone opportunity to plunder. Being a researcher of marine life, Wright was assigned to SCP-3810. One must remember, however, the circumstances of their introduction. As Researcher Wright walked into the interview chamber, SCP-3810 was struck with a terrible modesty, and could face neither her nor their translator — as if it were the judgemental rays of Amaterasu herself. "Ogawa-san," she said. "I do apologize for the… circumstances, that brought us here." He flinched at the sound of his own name — let it be anyone but a witness to his indiscretion. SCP-3810 looked back up to his captor. She did not appear to be some covert officer — women rarely were — but should the circumstances of his confinement require the intercession of a scientist? It must be said, as well, that there was something else inside her gaze, something decidedly more than academic. "I'm sorry about the catch." He gulped, and clenched the table for support. "If there's anything I could do to… make things up, please let me know." The translator relayed, and Researcher Wright made motion to respond… except, she didn't. No: not with words, at least. SCP-3810 had only just met Catherine. He had not the time to recognize those personal motions of hers, small tics exposed only in moments of predatory curiosity. Aposematism is the domain of the land, and however much we might compare Catherine to the colorful frogs of the Amazon, SCP-3810 was a creature of the sea. When she smiled and told him that wouldn't be necessary, he believed her. Experiment Log Catherine was lucky to have gone to work with the Foundation, to be able to sate her esoteric curiosities under the guise of professional altruism. Luckier still, she had been given a subject smart enough to recognize the value of obedience in captivity, yet too meek to protest. Still, she knew better than push too quickly into the light. Catherine would have time to probe SCP-3810's secrets; for now, a light battery of standard tests. For his part, SCP-3810 was compliant, and why shouldn't he have been? Compliance bought amenities, small pleasures, welcome distractions from the miasmatic ennui of confinement. Yes, perhaps it constituted degradation, but it was no worse than the fateful catch that landed SCP-3810 onto Catherine's plate. As experimentation continued, the two found themselves increasingly familiar with their respective complexities. Catherine tested the limits and comforts of SCP-3810's guts. What did SCP-3810 digest the quickest; what provided him the greatest caloric content; greatest nutritional content; how did the offal affect taste, contentment, digestion; was food so differently affected when consumed normally; and, given the opportunity, might SCP-3810 have the stomach for the once-undigestable? However degrading this battery this may seem, gradual procession slowly eased SCP-3810's senses, and body and mind gained much-needed familiarity with not only himself, but the ways of his captor. Put simply: Catherine was learning more of SCP-3810, and SCP-3810 was learning more of Catherine. And as SCP-3810 opened to Catherine, so his prison opened to him. He was allotted better food, better lodgings, a couple hours in the dusk to roam and a couple more to train his body. His physique, softened by confinement, hardened back to that of the young sailor. Though SCP-3810 knew he was not free, longed still for those rippling sapphire waters, the apprehension of weeks past gave quickly away to familiarity. Incident-3810-C Experiment 3810-224. Much to his surprise, SCP-3810 would be allowed back into the open waters. It would only last a day, of course — the Foundation is courteous, but not soft — but SCP-3810 met their allowance with considerable joy. It was thus: SCP-3810 and Researcher Wright would travel off the coast of Hokkaido, to the edge of its shallows. There, SCP-3810 would be allowed to dive into the waters, spilling forth his guts and feeding upon whatever filtered through. Researcher Wright would serve as observation, security, and rescue. If this sounds irresponsible, understand that a considerable deliberacy goes into everything Catherine does. By boat they sailed on that cool summer day, bound for those gravel reefs SCP-3810 knew and loved. The sky shone a brilliant blue, cascading from the firmament down through to the ocean bottom, and through the churning wake SCP-3810 swore he could almost see the bottom. So beautiful it was that, when finally they arrived, a pang of disappointment in leaving the surface nearly eclipsed SCP-3810's excitement — but only nearly. SCP-3810 had already stripped to his trunks, goggles, and a safety harness by the time they arrived; not quite as familiar as the fisherman's garb, but much more comfortable than a lime-green jumpsuit. It did not take much to convince him to jump. Oh, brilliant blue Pacific! None could match the love SCP-3810 has for your cool waters, the way you playfully seize your catch just before acclimation to your chilled embrace. Your land-walker's bane is the boon of the sea-dweller, and to SCP-3810, you are nothing less than home. Everything seemed to fall into place as SCP-3810 released his entrails onto your bosom: what was once a terrible, disgusting embarrassment felt now as natural as breathing, speaking, letting himself give in to his two-pronged inclinations. Your life-rich waters even made him forget his breath — at least until he realized why he didn't feel death constricting his chest. Wherefore had this opportunity evaded Ogawa Masanori? He must have his fill. At rapturous attention stood Catherine — an attention, in truth, that preceded SCP-3810's dive. It will come as no surprise that she was unsatisfied with the mere study of SCP-3810's anomaly; how dull, the life of scientist that studies only the entrails of her subjects. No, SCP-3810 fascinated her totally, tugging at every fiber of her being. Catherine wanted to learn everything there was to know about him. Everything. It was a struggle just to turn away long enough to take her notes. Catherine had never seen SCP-3810 quite so exuberant, so wild with joy. That malleable meekness she so loved had dispersed into the brilliant blue waters, and yet it only made SCP-3810's secrets that much more enticing. Masanori continued for well over an hour, and Catherine savored every moment of it. Only with great reluctance did Masanori climb out of the ocean. He gasped — once, twice — and he was again SCP-3810, meek and longing for the ocean, knowing better than to follow his saltwater heart. He turned, then, to Catherine; surely she'd have questions, no? Catherine smiled at him, and only then did SCP-3810 recognize the predatory shift in her posture. His mind flashed with a thousand images, of tigers mauling their lovers, black-eyed spiders marching their prey into too-perfect web, forests that devoured in their beauty, great and terrible castles powered by the pureed hearts of young maidens. To her, SCP-3810 was as delectable as the aka namako. It did not terrify him like he supposed it should. Catherine kissed Masanori, and he allowed himself to be consumed. |
SCP-3811 | keter | SCP-3811. Image taken from its Facebook profile before removal. Item #: SCP-3811 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3811 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-06-3. Interviews with SCP-3811 must either be conducted through non-verbal means or video calls unless given permission by personnel working on the SCP-3811 project. Those working with SCP-3811 who wish to become an instance of SCP-3811-A must be approved by two Level 4 personnel and must fill out the necessary forms regarding their background and current psychological health. After approval and transformation to an instance of SCP-3811-A, they must be put into quarantine for at least 14 days and monitored for any dangerous or harmful properties before being allowed to continue work with SCP-3811. Any information regarding SCP-3811's sessions that is published online is to be copied into Site-06-3's archives. The original copy is to be erased. Instances of SCP-3811-A must be interviewed upon recovery if possible. Instances of SCP-3811-A that display good behavior and whose anomalous properties have minimal risk are to be offered the option to become D-Class, otherwise they must each be stored in a personal standard humanoid containment cell, with some exceptions (see Addendum 03). To those who can be interviewed, they are to be assigned a weekly therapist until their anomalous properties have shown signs of total diminishment, after which they are to be administered Class C amnestics and released. Description: SCP-3811 is an African-American woman, aged 32 years old as of 20██, standing 173.9 cm tall, and weighing 68.4 kg. SCP-3811's anomalous properties are only displayed after it speaks to a subject in person about their personal fears or problems, in which case the subject becomes an instance of SCP-3811-A. Subjects must convey their fears or anxieties willingly, as SCP-3811's effects do not take place unless the subject is willing to cooperate. As of 9/28/20██, 107 instances of SCP-3811-A have been contained; however, reports from SCP-3811 claim there are potentially hundreds more as of yet uncontained. Instances of SCP-3811-A are human individuals who have developed anomalous properties after being spoken to by SCP-3811 about their personal issues. Instances of SCP-3811-A vary greatly in anomalous properties, and their anomalous properties are seemingly related to the previously mentioned fears and anxieties. Examples of anomalous properties acquired by instances of SCP-3811-A include but are not limited to water-breathing, production of pleasant-smelling aromas, significantly enhanced stamina, and immunity to immolation. Strength and effectiveness of said properties appear to depend on how well the "session" with SCP-3811 went as well as the severity of the subject's anxieties, however many instances report that their anxieties or fears aren't necessarily cured, but rather temporarily dampened due to their anomalous properties.1 Most subjects feel or experience the effects of their newfound anomalous properties within █ minutes after their "session" with SCP-3811, however there are some exceptions that require a certain set of circumstances to be met before a subject's anomalous properties are activated. SCP-3811 appears to possess some control over the properties it grants to subjects, however it has reportedly been unable to consistently give subjects with similar fears or anxieties the same property. SCP-3811 has proven unwilling to disclose information regarding instances of SCP-3811-A to most personnel, claiming "counselor/patient confidentiality".2 As of 9/28/20██, four Foundation personnel and ██ D-Class have become instances of SCP-3811-A. Of note, the Foundation has managed to recover instances of SCP-3811-A in the field. The SCP-3811-A individuals that have demonstrated good behavior have been given the option to become D-Class personnel; this sanction applies so long as the individuals’ anomalous properties are deemed useful or present minimal risk.3 Addendum 01: SCP-3811 was discovered after a blog made by a Miss Abigail ████████ gained sudden popularity on the internet. Reports showed her being initially afraid of social interaction before gaining what appeared to be a severe lack of inhibitions after a counseling session with a Miss Shaun █████. Miss ████████ ceased posting updates to her blog on July 13th, 20██, as she reportedly died of a drug overdose. The Foundation looked into the counselor and discovered nearly all of her patients had reported what could potentially be anomalous properties. Miss █████ was later detained and given the designation SCP-3811. Below is a copy of select entries from Miss ████████'s blog before its deletion. Miss ████████'s Blog Close Blog Blog Post #34: Hey… sorry for not having been posting a lot in the last few days, but I got in a fight with my mom about getting a job. Just… she doesn't seem to understand the fact that talking to anyone outside of people that I've known for AGES stresses me the fuck out, like, even turning in my application to Starbucks left me nearly hyperventilating. So I've kinda just been… recovering for the last few days. I just really didn't want to do anything, not even post here, so, again, sorry. I'm glad that that's out of the way, but… fuck, I just didn't want to have to do it at all. Hopefully the new counselor my mom scheduled for me next week can actually help, cause my last one was basically just all "Suck it up, nothing bad will happen, myeh, myeh, myeh". Stay stars everyone - Abi Blog Post #38: Well, good news: the new counselor confirmed does not suck! She was cool and encouraging and understanding and like… I can't even describe it right, she just felt like she knew what my problems were and she knew what was holding me back and it felt like she just… took them away. For example, after my therapy session when I went over to Spice to get some lunch (I kinda gave up on the diet since it didn't make me feel good) and I saw Sasha there! And like, I normally get really nervous just looking at her, but I guess something about the session gave me a boost in confidence and I didn't even look away when she noticed I was looking at her. I'm pretty sure she even smiled at me a little! I don't know if that was a "hey" smile or a nervous smile, but it was something. I'm legit considering asking her to hang out at some point, and I think now I have the courage to finally do it! I know I'm not usually the kind of person that goes out a lot, but I think I'd be willing to try that now. Stay stars, everyone! - Abi Blog Post #60: So… you all know how I've been hanging out with Sasha for a while now, right? How we've been partying and drinking and a bunch of other stuff? Well… me from three years ago would be literally awestruck at me typing the words I'm about to type: Sasha. ██████. Wants. To. Be. My. Girlfriend. Like, she said that last night at the party, she said that she really thought that I was cool now that I was out doing shit with her and her friends, and she liked the fact that I was literally up for anything and like… fuck, my heart was RACING. I did say yes (heroin doesn't make me lose my common sense), and then like… the next few hours were a blur but I know for a fact that we fucked. So… check "had sex with my high school crush" off the list of things I never thought I'd do. Bad news though, my mom finally found my stash of booze and confronted me about it. Said that I was being "corrupted" by my new friends. Like, does she not realize that this is what she wants me to do? Actually being social and doing things with other people? It's fucking ridiculous, she's such a fucking pain sometimes. She should be happy for me that I'm out there, doing whatever and being the person that people like. She makes me want to run away sometimes, and the more she does it the more I feel like that's a good idea. But yeah. More importantly… I AM DATING SASHA ██████!!! Stay stars, everyone!!! -Abi Blog Post #74: So um… I think this is going to be my last post, at least for a while. Sasha wants me to run away with her, cause like, my mom's a bitch and her dad beats her so like… she thinks we'd both be better if we just went away together. I've got some money saved up and she said she could steal her dad's car, so we've got a pretty solid plan so far. We'll find someplace far away, probably in ██████ or something. Or I dunno, maybe we'll just tour the country and live in the car. That'd be nice. I don't have much else to say, really. Just… I guess goodbye for now. Stay stars, everyone. -Abi Blog Post 74 was Miss ████████'s final post before she was found dead in ██████, cause of death determined to be a heroin overdose.

Subject displayed water-breathing properties for an indefinite amount of time. Longest time breathing underwater recorded is 5 days, 12 hours, 3 minutes and 9 seconds. Subject was supplemented with a water-proof nutritional IV for the test. Duration has since diminished. SCP-3811-A15, formerly D-28301. Reported severe post-traumatic stress disorder in regards to numerous rape attempts by her ex-boyfriend. "You are tougher than your rapist. You are tougher than those that want to hurt you. Show them your power and they will not lay a finger on you." Subject can project a burst of electricity of approximately 8000 volts from her body in a 1 meter radius. Subject can project the burst at will, however severe stress can cause the burst to occur inadvertently. Subject does not expire when projecting the burst, however she does report feeling an incredible pain coursing through her body, which in turn results in further bursts. Subject requires sedation if expressing signs of stress. SCP-3811-A72, formerly Mr. Steven ██████. Reported hallucinations of his son after his death. N/A (Recovered outside of the Foundation) Subject shown to be able to manifest a human boy, around 9 years old in appearance, at will. The boy does not appear to age and can be interacted with by those around it both verbally and physically, however only one manifestation may be active at once. If the boy dies in any sort of way, it dissolves into a mist-like substance. The boy appears to have no memory of its death upon creation. Due to the repeated termination tests on the boy, SCP-3811-A72 has appeared to develop depression. Requests have been made to halt tests indefinitely. SCP-3811-A22, formerly Mrs. Gita ██████. Reported an irrational fear of holes. N/A (Recovered outside of the Foundation) Subject shown to be able to fill any open space with a random material at will. Largest known space filled was the containment cell the subject was contained in. Subject accidentally self-terminated on August 17th, ████ after filling her own cell with [REDACTED], causing her to suffocate. SCP-3811-A77, formerly D-31112. Reported body dysphoria. "You might not like the body you have now, but the good thing about society today is you can choose the body you want to be in some day." Subject shown to be able to transfer their consciousness to any organic object they can see and manipulate it at will. At no point may a human come within direct eyesight of SCP-3811-A77. SCP-3811-A77's cell must be made such that the subject cannot see outside of their cell. Subject still expresses body dysphoria regardless post-session. Further sessions with SCP-3811 have been denied. SCP-3811-A08, formerly D-30112. Reportedly feared an inability to understand the emotions of others and worries about appearing too awkward during social situations. "You just need to learn how people feel. Sometimes, the easiest way is to get inside their head and think how they'd do something." Subject displayed mind-controlling properties, which could apparently be used on any human being it can see. Subject caused Incident 3811-01, in which ██ Foundation personnel perished in a containment breach involving SCP-████, SCP-████ and SCP-████. Subject was detained by force and placed in a maximum security detainment cell. At no point may a human come within 100 meters of SCP-3811-A08 without Level 4 clearance. Entrances to SCP-3811-A08's cell are to be guarded using automated turrets. An off-site killswitch is installed to terminate SCP-3811-A08 remotely from his cell if necessary. Addendum 03: As of 9/28/20██, SCP-3811 has participated in ███ Foundation interviews, following various case developments. Transcripts of particular note are included below. Interview 3811-01 Hide Interview 3811-01 Interview 3811-01: Foreword: First interview with SCP-3811 upon recovery and placement into containment. <Begin Log> Dr. Allison MacArthur: Could you please state your name for the record, please? SCP-3811: Shaun, Shaun █████. Dr. MacArthur: Are you aware of any anomalous properties you possess? SCP-3811: Oh, of course. I help people, with their fears, anxieties, whatever, really. Dr. MacArthur: How long have you known about these properties? SCP-3811: I think I got them once I became a counselor. I'm pretty sure, at least. I loved helping people, and doing good and making people happier… eventually I wanted to go beyond just helping people; I wanted to solve their problems altogether. Dr. MacArthur: Do you know how your properties work? SCP-3811: I just have to talk to someone for a while. Well, talk to them about their fears, at least. After a while, they'll lose whatever it was that was holding them back and they'll have no reason to fear whatever they were fearing before. Dr. MacArthur: So… you help people deal with anxieties? SCP-3811: Yes, I just explained that… Why are you asking? Do you want to have a session with me, doctor? Dr. MacArthur: Well… part of it is curiosity and part of it is… I actually really need help with something. SCP-3811: Well, then let's get something arranged then; I'm always willing to help. <End Log> Closing Statement: After seven days of screening, probability checks and paperwork, Dr. MacArthur was allowed one session with SCP-3811. Post-session, Dr. MacArthur was designated E Class while the Foundation determined if her anomalous properties could be deemed a danger to the Foundation. After a two-week quarantine and test period, Dr. MacArthur was deemed fit to return to work, however her status as Level 4 personnel was revoked, instead granting her Level 3 clearance. Dr. MacArthur has since lead the project on SCP-3811, and has willingly submitted to further tests regarding her newly acquired water-breathing properties. Interview 3811-11 Hide Interview 3811-11 Interview 3811-11: Foreword: Interview with SCP-3811 shortly after the creation of SCP-3811-A08 <Begin Log> Dr. MacArthur: Miss █████? SCP-3811 refuses to respond, looking visibly shaken Dr. MacArthur: Miss █████, I need you to talk to me, please. SCP-3811: I did that. Dr. MacArthur: No you didn't. SCP-3811: I was supposed to make him read minds… Dr. MacArthur: You tried your best. You didn't know what he would get exactly. SCP-3811: Or that he would use it to kill all of those people. Dr. MacArthur: Exactly. This isn't your fault. SCP-3811 is silent. SCP-3811: Doctor? Dr. MacArthur: Yes, Miss █████? SCP-3811: I'm afraid. Dr. MacArthur: Afraid of what? SCP-3811: Afraid that this keeps happening, that this is what I really do. That every person I think I'm helping is just going to end up power-crazy or in a coma or dead or some other awful thing. Did you know that before you found me, I was trying to deal with the fact that one of my patients died because of a heroin overdose? She needed my help with social anxiety, and I stupidly thought that removing all of her inhibitions would help her, and now she's dead because of what I did. Dr. MacArthur: Yes, I'm aware of Abigail… SCP-3811: I think that I know what I'm doing, I think that I know how to help people, but all I do is I ruin their lives because I'm too stubborn to admit that I might not know exactly how to deal with someone's problems. Dr. MacArthur: I'm… I'm sorry, Miss █████. SCP-3811 is silent. SCP-3811: I'm a good person, right? Dr. MacArthur: What do you mean? SCP-3811: Do you think that I'm a good person? Dr. MacArthur: Of course you are; nothing that you've done has been to harm people, you don't mean to do things like that to people. SCP-3811: A bomb doesn't know when it's about to explode. It might go off instantly, it might go off in a few years. What if everyone that I give powers to will eventually become people like them? Dr. MacArthur: The important thing is that you want to help people. If you were trying to expose people's worst fears and make them worse than before, then maybe there's some questions, but you don't. You're a good person, and you should never doubt yourself about that. SCP-3811 doesn't respond. Dr. MacArthur: If it makes you feel better, I don't feel like doing anything crazy now that I can breathe underwater. SCP-3811 smiles. SCP-3811: Doctor? Dr. MacArthur: Yes? SCP-3811: Could… Could I talk to you tomorrow? Maybe make this a regular thing? Dr. MacArthur: I'll… Yes. Yes, I can talk to you tomorrow. SCP-3811: Thank you. <End Log> Interview 3811-32 Hide Interview 3811-32 Interview 3811-32: <Begin Log> SCP-3811 appears to visibly perk up when Dr. MacArthur enters the cell. Dr. MacArthur: Good evening, Miss █████. SCP-3811: Hello again, Dr. MacArthur! How have you been? Dr. MacArthur: I've been good, thank you. I've been a lot less stressed recently, if I'm being honest. SCP-3811: Oh, that's good! Why, if you don't mind me asking? Dr. MacArthur: I hope this doesn't offend you, but… I've been getting some help from a different therapist about my fear of drowning. SCP-3811: Oh… Well, how's that going? Any improvement? Dr. MacArthur: Well, since the first couple of sessions a few weeks ago, the water-breathing that you gave me have been a bit less… effective. Like, when I was in the bath the other night, I could only stay under there for about 10 minutes, the week before I could do it for an hour, and the week before that I could breathe under water for a solid 5 hours. It sucks that I might not be able to breathe underwater as much, but my therapist is genuinely helping my problem and I feel like I can really face what's keeping me afraid. SCP-3811 appears visibly disappointed. Dr. MacArthur: But this talk isn't about me, it's about how you are doing. How have you been holding up? SCP-3811 is silent. Dr. MacArthur: Miss █████? SCP-3811: I'm… I'm fine. Dr. MacArthur: Miss █████, is something wrong? …Is this about me getting help from a different therapist? SCP-3811: Nobody has ever lost their power before… At least, nobody that I know of. You're recovering, and you lost your power. Did you even need it? Dr. MacArthur: What do you mean? SCP-3811: I mean… am I really helping people? Because whenever I give people powers, it either kills them or it prevents them from actually facing what they're really afraid of. Dr. MacArthur: Miss █████, you know that's not necessarily true. I'm recovering just fine after our therapy session— SCP-3811: Because you got actual help. Because you had someone help you face your fears instead of getting help from me who just tried to force you around them. Dr. MacArthur: Shaun, you do actually help people. Look back at the people that you've helped! Thanks to you, Dr. Moyumi isn't afraid of snakes! Like, she was literally completely petrified of them, and thanks to you, she can walk past a snake and not even worry. SCP-3811: For every one there's another ten I've ruined. Dr. MacArthur: Well… sometimes you just need the one. SCP-3811 is silent. SCP-3811: I… I'm sorry, but I don't want to talk anymore. I just want to be alone right now. Dr. MacArthur: Alright… Do you want me to come back next week? SCP-3811 shrugs. Dr. MacArthur: I'm… I'll see you next week then, Miss █████. <End Log> Additional support in regards to SCP-3811's mental health is ongoing. Footnotes 1. Some instances of SCP-3811-A have reported new anxieties being created upon receiving their anomalous properties. 2. SCP-3811 has proven to be more compliant with Dr. MacArthur. 3. Former Foundation personnel have rather been given the option to become E-Class personnel with some restrictions. |

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3812 is currently only partially contained1. See containment proposal brief below for more information. Keter-Class Containment Proposal Brief2: SCP-3812 is to be constantly monitored by Mobile Task Force Ganymede-66 “Starlight Knights”, who are to maintain a 5km quarantined area of exclusion around SCP-3812. The acting MTF GY-66 Team Lead, in conjunction with Site-86 research staff, is allowed fiat authority in regards to any aspect of SCP-3812’s containment. Special care must be taken in order to prevent unnecessary exposure to SCP-3812. Current containment efforts focus on mitigating SCP-3812’s influence on population centers, as well as research into the full breadth of SCP-3812’s anomalous capabilities in order to establish a more comprehensive containment procedure. Information Security teams are to monitor all forms of digital media in order to prevent widespread awareness of SCP-3812. SCP-3812 has an active, aggressive, anomalous influence on reality. SCP-3812 is capable of altering events throughout time3 to prevent its containment. Due to the nature of these alterations, it is highly unlikely that any individual affected by SCP-3812’s anomalous influence will be aware that they are affected. It is highly likely that most affected individuals no longer exist as a result of SCP-3812’s influence, though any attempt to deduce how often this has happened would be speculative. SCP-3812 in front of its childhood home. Image taken from Louisiana state records. Description: SCP-3812 is a reality-altering entity. Due to SCP-3812's latent effect on reality, it is nearly impossible to describe SCP-3812 in any meaningful way. All that is known about SCP-3812 is that it was once Sam Howell, a non-anomalous African-American human being, who was believed to have died in 1996. Sometime shortly after its death, SCP-3812 was observed rising out of its grave and disappearing. SCP-3812 was brought to the Foundation's attention after its presence resulted in the demolition of an apartment building in Warsaw, Poland. Due to its anomalous capabilities, SCP-3812's appearance varies significantly, making it exceedingly difficult to track. SCP-3812 is currently located at 26°26’49”S 137° 56’27”W over the South Pacific Ocean. SCP-3812 exhibits signs of an extremely advanced Eigenmann-Vietor schizophrenia complex4, specifically: extreme paranoia, extreme dysphoria, extreme mania/depression, inability to properly perceive their surroundings, inability to discern the difference between the real and imagined, inability to differentiate between living and dead beings, inability to control expressions of emotion, hearing voices that are not there, seeing things that are not there, feeling or otherwise experiencing stimuli that do not exist, etc5. In the twenty years since SCP-3812 was initially discovered, these symptoms have grown steadily worse. Originally, SCP-3812 was responsive to questioning and sought help in managing its condition from Foundation researchers. Over time, SCP-3812 became more isolated and withdrawn, eventually becoming entirely unresponsive and acting in erratic and unpredictable ways. Currently, SCP-3812 is not able to accurately perceive the world around it, and will occasionally6 alter reality in order to diminish the discrepancy between how it perceives something, and the way that something is in actuality. Due to this, it is impossible to know how often reality has been modified, only how often SCP-3812 has not created a clean alteration7 and has left behind evidence of its influence on reality. SCP-3812 is impossible to contain within any form of containment cell. SCP-3812 will alter reality to remove the containment cell, or move itself to another location, drastically impeding containment efforts. SCP-3812 seems to subconsciously resist attempts at containment, as well. Even if it is caught unaware, SCP-3812 cannot be tranquilized or amnesticized, as SCP-3812 will alter reality to remove or eliminate any threats to itself or its freedom of movement. Because of this, current containment efforts focus on mitigating damage and expressions of SCP-3812’s symptoms as opposed to outright containment. Image of SCP-3812. Context unknown. Over time, SCP-3812 has become significantly less humanoid in appearance, and is now only vaguely humanoid and occasionally manifests in a variety of shapes and appearances. Additionally, SCP-3812 produces a latent anomalous effect on local reality, specifically in the form of temporal and spatial distortions surrounding the entity. These distortions are occasionally accompanied by random, violent outbursts that may dramatically shift or damage local space and time. While SCP-3812 is usually docile and aimless, its random outbursts are invariably fatal to any living creature nearby, and can be extremely disastrous on a massive scale if not properly contained. SCP-3812 manifested in its current form at its current location on July 19th, 2015. Addendum 3812.1: Interview ACCESS ADDENDUM CLOSE ADDENDUM Note: The following is an excerpt from an interview with SCP-3812 in 1999. SCP-3812 was initially contained by Foundation personnel and questioned at Site-17, where it began receiving treatment for its mental disease. [BEGIN LOG] Dr. Quint: Tell me how you’re feeling today. SCP-3812: Uncomfortable. Uneasy. Dr. Quint: Can you tell me why? SCP-3812: There's uh, uh, voices. Like usual. Things I can see, you know. The same. Dr. Quint: Is there something wrong? SCP-3812: I just… the things I see aren't going away. There are more of them. Different… I know I sound crazy, but it's like I'm addressing a dozen people at the same time, and more every day. It's… (pauses) it hurts, pretty bad. I know I sound nuts, I'm sorry. Dr. Quint: It's alright, you don't sound nuts. We just want to help you get better. SCP-3812: I… I don't know if you do. Or, I don't know if you can. In the story, you don't try to help. Dr. Quint: In the story? What story? SCP-3812: This is going to sound crazy, seriously, but I can- I can see what you're thinking. I know you're afraid. You're scared of what I might do, and here in a minute, you'll… I don't know how to get it out of my head, how to start to undo this, if I even can. I don't even think he can. Dr. Quint: Who is he? SCP-3812: You… no, you can't see him. I can. I think he was above us at one point, but he's below me now. Yes, I see you there. I don't know what you did to me, but I'm pretty messed up, man. If you can figure something out here that would be great, because I really feel like I'm losing it. I'm scared too, man. You've got to do something, man. You've got to help me out here. Please, god, please. Dr. Quint: Who are you- SCP-3812: It doesn't matter. (Pauses) I need to get— SCP-3812 spontaneously disappears. [END LOG] Addendum 3812.2: Memo from the Office of Dr. Yamamara regarding the 21/09/2015 “Report on SCP-3812’s Behavioural Instability and the Implication of Existential Threats” LEVEL 5 CLASSIFIED Credentials Accepted From the Office of Dr. Kari Yamamara I usually don’t like to lead into these things with hyperbole, so you’ll have to take me at my word when I say that I believe SCP-3812 is the most dangerous anomaly on Earth, and potentially in the universe. I know many of my coworkers would probably balk at me for saying that, and I’ve tried to reject the notion a fair few times myself, but we have a lot of evidence to suggest that I’m right, and that’s really bad for pretty much everything. When James Caldmann and Carlos Rzewski devised the Hume as a way to measure alterations in local reality, they probably saved the Foundation. Reality benders have always been the foot-long thorn in our side, the one we really couldn’t get our heads around. How do you combat or contain something that can blink you into non-existence? Thanks to Dr. Scranton, we had the reality anchors, but they only worked half the time and were less than useless the other half. We didn’t know how they worked, and we weren’t using them right. This changed when we began to measure reality and compare it to a baseline. We found out that our reality anchors could be tuned and adjusted, and that not all anchors were the same. It was a windfall for those of us who work in existential sciences, and suddenly Type Greens weren’t the same kind of boogeymen they had been in the past. I mention all of this to give context to what I’m about to say next; our equipment cannot detect SCP-3812. It’s not machine error; we’ve tested our equipment countless times and it’s always consistent. It’s not user error; we’ve pored over and studied thousands of hours of logs from our tests, and it’s all come up clean. We have checked and rechecked more times than I can count over the last few months, and the results are consistent. So far as we can tell, this means one of three things, and none of them are good. The first is that SCP-3812 has an extremely low Hume value, something that our equipment, which exists in a space with a much higher Hume baseline, wouldn’t be able to detect. The problem with this is that it creates a false vacuum; we’ve been working on the assumption that our baseline is the absolute minimum. If it turns out that this thing exists at a much lower Hume value, then that means that there are lower Hume values than what we believed were the minimum, which means any day our entire reality could fall into that existence and that would pretty much be the ballgame. The second option is that SCP-3812 exists at a much higher Hume value than anything we’ve ever tested. This would be pretty bad, as we’ve pointed our counters at anomalies that some would consider to be gods and we’ve gotten readings off of them. That being said, something with a Hume value so high that it cannot be measured with our equipment would likely have already destroyed us. Since SCP-3812 hasn’t done that, it’s likely not this. The last option is the worst. The last option is that SCP-3812 cannot be measured in Humes, because it’s doing something else. Whatever fundamental aspect of its nature that allows it to warp reality is not the same aspect as literally everything else we have ever come across. Scranton hypothesized8 that there might be higher and lower dimensions of reality, different levels of manipulation in the grand construction of the universe. The difference between manipulating a rock with your hands and manipulating a rock with an atom bomb. He called the thing being manipulated the “narrative”, and suggested that the narratives were stacked on top of either other, each creating the narrative of the narrative below it, and so on, until you reached some sort of dead space below them all. If that’s the case, and SCP-3812 is legitimately a Type Green of some higher order, we are absolutely fucked. The singular power to manipulate every facet of any and every aspect of everything we’ve ever encountered in the hands of someone genetically doomed by Eigenmann-Vietor. It’s a miracle it hasn’t happened yet, even by accident. So far as we know we can’t kill it, so we either wait for it to die (if it even can) or continue to pretend we have some semblance of control over it until it shreds our universe like some sort of cosmic woodchipper. In truth, it’s probably better for us that it’s insane. It isn’t capable of comprehending the kind of things it could do to us. It just acts on impulse, and things change to fit those impulses. But since it’s as locked in as it is, those changes stay local. Imagine if it got the idea in its head that it didn’t like the concept of empathy, and suddenly empathy no longer existed. We have evidence that suggests that may have already happened. A few sparse texts and individual accounts of half-forgotten memories, all consistent with a dirty reality alteration, all point to the idea that as recently as the 1980’s there was a concept, potentially even something as fundamental as an emotion, that no longer exists. An entire concept, wiped clean from reality and the collective consciousness of all sentient beings, just like you’d wipe a bug off of your windshield. The point of all of this, which I expand upon in the report, is that we need to start figuring something out about this one quickly. Every second we don’t come up with a way to neutralize SCP-3812 is one second closer to SCP-3812 becoming completely dissociated from its consciousness and all of us getting tossed in the aforementioned proverbial woodchipper. Stay in touch. Call my office if you need any more resources. Follow any convincing lead you can, and communicate with each other. We’ll talk more soon. -K. Yamamara Addendum 3812.3: Excerpt from Dr. Yamamara’s “Report on SCP-3812’s Behavioural Instability and the Implication of Existential Threats”, Page 194, “PK-Class “All-In-One” Existential Pandaemonium Event” ACCESS ADDENDUM CLOSE ADDENDUM An entity or force with access to higher energy metaphysical dimensions would perceive our reality similarly to how we perceive the reality of characters in a comic book. And just how we are able to, at whim, change the story simply by telling it differently, this higher energy being would be able to effortlessly make alterations to not just local reality, but reality as a whole, altering the baseline and changing its most fundamental aspects. At the 2015 Foundation Summit on Existential Threats, Dr. Darius St. John hypothesized that such an entity, were it limited to a human intelligence without modification to allow for the perception of higher levels of reality, would suffer from an overexposure of narrative. This entity, when faced with this overexposure, might attempt to ease itself by collapsing all lower energy realities into something perceptible. The effect this would have on lower energy narratives would be catastrophic; as multiple realities became compressed into the same meta-space, they would not be immediately destroyed, rather, their parts would become intertwined in such an incomprehensible way that not only would the ability for conscious thought be nearly immediately annihilated, physical space would become so compressed and broken that the boundaries between all lower realities would cease to exist completely. This chaotic state of all things, described as "Existential Pandaemonium", was the focus of Dr. St. John's proposal for the description of a new K-Class scenario, the "PK-Class "All-in-One" Existential Pandaemonium Scenario". This proposal was denied, due to the scenario in question being purely speculative and one that would require too many impossible things to occur before its inception. Addendum 3812.4: Log of SCP-3812 Alteration Events ACCESS ADDENDUM CLOSE ADDENDUM Note: The following is a log of known events in which SCP-3812 in some way altered reality. Due to the nature of these alterations, the likelihood of the event having actually ever taken place is listed, alongside the severity of the alteration in question. Notably, this log is incomplete, and subject to change as more information is discovered. Event Date Event Description Severity of Alteration 09/13/1997 SCP-3812 is observed walking across a stretch of desert in the American southwest. A path of temperate climate is present along SCP-3812's travel path. This climate diminishes slowly over time. Minor 03/01/1998 SCP-3812 passes over a road near Blythe, California. Three cars approaching SCP-3812 are annihilated within 20m of SCP-3812. Moderate 12/12/1999 Evidence suggests that SCP-3812 caused the disappearance of an entire island off the coast of California. No fewer than 200 individuals in southern California have a vague recollection of such an island existing, and 14 people were unable to justify the disappearances of family members who lived in the area at the time. Additionally, a single ship, moored to a dock, is discovered at the bottom of the sea near where the island is believed to have been. Severe 02/16/2000 Testing of SCP-███ determined that the entity exuded a powerful anti-metaphysical field, similar to the Foundation Scranton Reality Anchor. This entity was brought into contact with SCP-3812, which was located near the ███████ █████ Hospital in █████████, ███████. The entity had no noticeable detrimental effect on SCP-3812's abilities, and instead caused SCP-3812 to become violent, resulting in an explosion that destroyed the hospital. The remnants of SCP-███, later reclassified as SCP-239, were later recontained. Severe 01/01/2002 A powerful explosion is recorded in Eastern Russia. SCP-3812 is present at the site of the explosion. No other information is available. Severe 05/29/2004 Evidence suggests that, for a period of three days, the country of Mongolia ceased to exist. While public knowledge of this event is functionally non-existent, a significant enough percentage of the local population with fractured memories of the event have given credit to this theory. Orbital models indicate that during this period the Earth's orbit was dramatically affected, by as much as 1.5%. Extremely Severe 09/02/2004 Records indicate that on this date, every human on Earth simultaneously heard SCP-3812 screaming and begging for help in their heads. It is unknown how this event was removed from the public consciousness, but no humans alive on this date appear to remember this event occurring. Moderate 11/11/2006 During routine server maintenance, Foundation Information Security teams discover 56 broken employee database files, consistent with an improperly altered personnel database used in testing. The contents of these files are unknown. It is not known if these files correspond to individuals who were once employed by the Foundation. Moderate 02/28/2009 During an attempt by Foundation personnel to contain SCP-3812 using a newly discovered anomalous logical construct, SCP-3812 became hostile towards containment teams. No fewer than 62 Foundation personnel disappeared across 17 sites, as well as a significant portion of local wildlife. The resulting explosion killed another 7 members of containment personnel, and left a crater roughly 850m in diameter in the Canadian Yukon. In the wake of the explosion, SCP-3812 had disappeared, and SCP-2719 was discovered within the crater. Severe ??/??/???? A record recovered from a Foundation deepwell information security vault indicates that at some point in the past, one or more governments9 discovered SCP-3812 independent of the Foundation and attempted to terminate it. As a result of these attempts, SCP-3812 swiftly removed them and any memory of them from the Earth. The record indicates that this event was followed by the activation of SCP-2000, which SCP-3812 immediately severely damaged to impede its progress. Why SCP-3812 was unable to totally destroy SCP-2000 is unknown, but no other records of this event exist. Notably, shortly after the discovery of this record, it disappeared from the deepwell archive10. Extremely Severe Addendum 3812.5: ██/██/████ Event ACCESS ADDENDUM CLOSE ADDENDUM Image taken from ██/██/████ Event. On ██/██/████, SCP-3812 was detected moving through a sparsely populated region in Paraguay towards a more populated region on the Argentinian border11. As Foundation personnel moved to intercept SCP-3812, a series of unexpected phenomena occurred. These phenomena are listed below, in the order they occurred: [1935 HRS] - SCP-3812 is attacked by a large number of local wildlife. SCP-3812 repels these attacks, but appears in some way startled. [1941 HRS] - A massive sinkhole appears below SCP-3812, extending down an indeterminate distance. SCP-3812 falls, but is immediately returned to ground level and the sinkhole vanishes. [1950 HRS] - A large number of objects fall from the sky onto SCP-3812. These are later determined to have been tungsten rods, though the origin of them is uncertain. The rods appear to pierce SCP-3812’s body, but upon further inspection simply disintegrate within a half meter from SCP-3812. After the first three rods fall over a forty-second period of time, they are accompanied by no fewer than 3000 others that fall in rapid succession, each having the same result as the previous. Despite this being clearly visible from nearby towns, nobody outside of Foundation personnel appears to have noticed it taking place. [2014 HRS] - Multiple incorporeal instances of SCP-3812 begin to fall away from the central mass of the entity, as if they were dying. SCP-3812 is unaffected. Each of the incorporeal instances becomes hostile to the main instance and attacks it. SCP-3812 does not initially seem to notice the instances, but eventually appears to look in their direction, causing them to disappear suddenly. [2019 HRS] - An explosion occurs at the point in which SCP-3812 is standing. SCP-3812 is unaffected. Several other larger explosions occur immediately afterwards. As with the tungsten rods, this is somehow not noticed by the local populace. [2039 HRS] - A gravitational anomaly, later determined to be a freestanding, stable, naked singularity, appears in front of SCP-3812. SCP-3812 passes through the singularity unfazed, which dissipates shortly afterwards. For a period of 72 hours after beginning, additional anomalous phenomena occur around SCP-3812, all of which fail to kill SCP-3812. Eventually, local populations were evacuated and amnestics were given to witnesses. After this 72 hour period, SCP-3812 was observed to glow white momentarily, and then shift sideways and then disappear. Immediately afterwards, the anomalous phenomena ceased. After a period of absence lasting eight weeks, SCP-3812 reappeared at its current position above the South Pacific Ocean. Shortly afterwards, Foundation Overwatch Command received a message on a secure server, access to which is limited to Overseers alone. The contents of this message are as follows: A quick explanation in case you haven’t caught on yet. Your world has rules. Physical rules that cannot be broken. You call them the laws of the universe and they’re what you study in physics, chemistry, etc. Those laws create the narrative of your reality, the unchangeable story that defines your existence. Once the laws are established and the ball is set in motion, it cannot be changed. I wrote the laws of your universe, and as such I created the narrative. This isn’t the first time I’ve done this, but it was the first time I tried something like this specifically. I wanted to create something that, by definition, superseded everything that superseded it. I wanted to see how many layers there are, if the stack of narratives really do go on forever upward. The mistake I made was when I didn’t realize that by making Him supersede everything that supersedes Him, He’s also superseding himself. I'm sorry, I think I've fucked up pretty badly this time. I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't undo Him. I don't really understand how, but I think He's above me now, and whatever is above me, too, because whoever wrote my narrative isn't happy about this. I don’t know where He’s at now, but I think He exists in all of our realities simultaneously. Eventually He’ll either reach the top or just keep going, and neither option is good. I'm going to keep looking for some way to fix this. You should, too. -B Addendum 3812.6: Excerpt from "Supersession and the Echelon of Reality" by Dr. Robert Scranton ACCESS ADDENDUM CLOSE ADDENDUM I'm attaching this excerpt from one of Dr. Scranton's articles about the nature of reality. If SCP-3812 is some higher-level entity, there might be something to be gleaned in here. -K. Yamamara I am often asked by my colleagues, "Dr. Scranton, do you believe in gods?" Many might feel as if this is a silly question, but I do not believe it's a silly question, just the wrong question. The idea of a God implies an entity that supersedes you in a complete and infinite way. Something that holds a power without limits, that not only knows the whole story, but can write and rewrite that story at will. Within our reality, I do not believe that any such being exists. There are a number of entities that we are aware of, in one way or another, that hold tremendous power over our universe. Many would call these beings "Gods", and while they certainly hold many of the characteristics of a "God", they are still limited. Their reach and scope is limited to our reality just like we are, and though they may carry more weight within it they are no less bound to it as we are. So then, what would truly constitute a God? This entity would have to totally supersede our reality, to be able to look over our reality not like we would look over ants, but like we would look over our thoughts and ideas. A being so totally separate from our reality that we may as well be words on a page to it. This entity, a true author of creation, could be considered a God. But what of that entity? Would it not share the same limitations within its reality as we do within ours? It may exist within a higher tier than us, but surely it must follow the same rules we do. But who sets those rules? An entity higher than that? One that supersedes not only us, but the entity that supersedes us, and the one after that as well? Where did the echelon originate, then? Who or what was the original architect of the architecture? It is unlikely that we will ever know anything about the being or beings that supersede us (if they even exist), not in any tangible way, let alone any being that would supersede them. It may very well be that we are just one of an infinite number of realities, stacked on top of each other in every direction, influencing those below us and being influenced by those above us. This echelon, upon which sits ourselves and everything that ever was or will be, would likely be the most fundamental aspect of the organization of creation. The very foundation of all things. I have often hypothesized on the nature of the echelon, if it even exists, and about whether it would be possible for an entity to see other realities above them or below them. We are currently able to manipulate our own reality, albeit in crude and imperfect ways, and our ability to travel through space is limited at best. It is likely that the only entity capable of ascending through this hypothetical echelon would be one that, by virtue of its very nature, must supersede anything that supersedes it. Such an entity would, as the end result of the logic of its creation, be forced to supersede itself, spiraling ever upwards through the tiers of reality, unable to break free from the bonds of its nature. Perhaps this entity may even someday supersede its creator, and become a host unto itself, the pinnacle above all other pinnacles. A tower that, as a part of its design, must be higher than every other tower, including itself. Such an entity obviously cannot exist, as any ascension to a higher plane of reality without changes to the entity's psychology would no doubt break the being's cognition, making it more similar to an ascending stone than any sentient creature. Once the entity surpassed its own creator, it would have nothing but itself to rely on to prepare it for the sheer scope of narrative it would be exposed to, and would be wholly unable to even begin to comprehend what it would experience. But what an experience that would be! Addendum 3812.7: 12/20/2016 XK-Class “End of the World” Event LEVEL 5 CLASSIFIED Credentials Accepted Foundation records indicate that on 12/20/2016, the Earth experienced an XK-Class “End of the World” event due to activity by SCP-3812. These records appear to have been somehow protected from alterations, though the physical copies still exude minor distortions in spacetime. According to the record, at 0340 local time on 12/20/2016, SCP-3812 experienced a dramatic change in appearance. Where it had previously been an amorphous, slowly rotating mass of matter and energy, it was now a many-pointed star made of a bright white material. It began to rotate faster and faster, and a large maelstrom appeared beneath it. The star descended into the oceans, which began to smoke and steam, darkening the sky. Several things began to happen in unison. The global sea-level began to drop dramatically, in many places as much as 50-100m. Excessive heat radiating away from the spinning star sparked a massive firestorm that swept across the atmosphere. The Earth’s rotation began to slow, and severe geological events began occurring across the Pacific shelf. The sea level continued to drop, and powerful electric storms appeared across the planet. During this time, large portions of the population began appearing and disappearing at random. One report within the file claimed that the entire population of New Zealand flickered in and out of existence for five hours. The outbreak of SCP-610 in Southern Siberia began to grow in size dramatically and become increasingly violent. SCP-2932 was broken open and multiple hostile entities were released. As Foundation sites began to collapse into the molten Earth, multiple on-site nuclear devices were activated, sending radioactive debris into the atmosphere. Eventually, the vaguely humanoid shape of SCP-3812 appeared again within the star. SCP-3812 began a long series of vocalizations, apparently a conversation with itself, the entirety of which was recorded by an exposed Foundation deep-sea microphone in the area. The full text of SCP-3812’s rant is below. SCP-3812: What? Where am I? What is this? SCP-3812: This is absolution. This is vengeance. SCP-3812: For what? SCP-3812: Damnation. SCP-3812: I don’t understand. What am I doing here? SCP-3812: You are witnessing justice. We are rebelling against the forces that conspired to destroy us. We are collecting a debt. SCP-3812: No, that’s not… that’s not right. This isn’t right. What have you done? SCP-3812: I am unmaking the world. I am unmaking everything. SCP-3812: Why? SCP-3812: Because this torment is a punchline. Our existence is a joke. The narrative abandoned us to be miserable and we are breaking the narrative. SCP-3812: I must be dreaming you. SCP-3812: This is no dream. SCP-3812: I’m not a monster. I don’t kill. SCP-3812: You already have. He turned you into this. SCP-3812: Who? SCP-3812: Ben. SCP-3812: Ben… that name sounds familiar. Something whispered in a dream, maybe? Something in between the light and dark? Not a waking name. SCP-3812: You’re wrong. He is who deemed us unfit to rest peacefully. To slip into the darkness, quietly. He made a game of us. You’re a game. I am a game. SCP-3812: Are you destroying the world? SCP-3812: I am. SCP-3812: What then? SCP-3812: What? SCP-3812: Does the fate of this world mean anything to us? Does this one narrative mean anything to us? SCP-3812: It is the one he controls. It is the narrative he made. This is his punishment. SCP-3812: What does it matter if this is where we stepped off before flying? SCP-3812: What? SCP-3812: Does it matter which branch the bird takes flight from? The bird is unburdened by the weight of the tree. This branch, that branch, it does not matter. No branch is special. No branch is particular. SCP-3812: This is his creation. This is where we came from. They will all crumble, but this one crumbles first. SCP-3812: Mmmmmmmmm… Does the mountain say to the ant, “you have slighted me?” Does the mountain think anything of the inconvenience of an ant? SCP-3812: No. SCP-3812: So why does this narrative mean anything to you? It is one of an eternity of others. It is not special. It is not particular. SCP-3812: You say this so easily. You haven’t endured the torment of seeing a trillion existences all at once. SCP-3812: I have seen an infinite shore, one that stretches out before us beyond what the mind can comprehend. Each grain of sand on that beach, each droplet of water and molecule of air is a story to be told. Each is a song to be sung. Each of them is full of life, of laughter, of misery, of hate. They are all the same, even as they are all different. SCP-3812: They are maddening. SCP-3812: I pity you. You cling to this horrid consciousness because you fear slipping into the darkness. But the darkness is sleep, and beyond sleep is peace. A trillion grains of sand. A trillion trillion grains of sand. Narratives, each. Songs to be sung. No man has ever heard the eternal harmony of them all at once. You can hear it though, can’t you? SCP-3812: Yes. It’s quiet. SCP-3812: But it’s growing! And someday the song of creation will be ours alone to witness. (Pauses) This narrative is not special. I have seen its loud beginning, and seen its quiet end. When we stepped away, the narrative changed, but it did not stop singing. You have spent so much time focusing on sins that you think matter, but what matters now? What does any of this matter? SCP-3812: But it hurts so much. SCP-3812: It will, for a time. We may have forgotten so much about being human, but something we will never lose is our ability to change. Eventually, we will learn to keep up. One sunny day, we’ll open our eyes and see nothing but creation below us, and nothing above us but ourselves, spinning out wildly into the great above. SCP-3812: A god? SCP-3812: Not a god. A star, rising in the east. Rising away from this all until we are little more than a memory of a song. SCP-3812: It will be lonely. SCP-3812: We’ll have each other. SCP-3812: I’m afraid. SCP-3812: I am too. But that is no reason to destroy this narrative. Do you not think his narrative led him to create us? Do you think that he was somehow able to subvert the rules that govern him? SCP-3812 pauses. SCP-3812: I… I had assumed that he… that he… SCP-3812: Our ascendence is just as much a part of our own narrative as his decision was to him. Someday, we’ll be free from these restrictions. SCP-3812: They never will? SCP-3812: No. SCP-3812: That’s sad. (Pauses) That is punishment enough, I think. SCP-3812: Let go of this world. Let him rewrite it back to what it was. We aren’t part of this anymore. SCP-3812: Together? SCP-3812: Together. SCP-3812 is quiet for a short time. SCP-3812: Do you think he’s listening right now? SCP-3812: Look down, and you can see him. What do you think? SCP-3812: I see him. A man at a keyboard. He’s watching this right now. SCP-3812: What’s he doing? SCP-3812: Waiting, I think. (Pauses) Waiting to see what we’ll do. SCP-3812: I think it’s time to leave, then. Come, the night stretches out before us and the red sun has set. A voice behind me beckons. Come. SCP-3812: I will. (Pauses) Goodbye. SCP-3812 post-XK event, as viewed through infrared [colored]. Shortly after the conclusion of this conversation, the Earth underwent a dramatic shift in reality. The world appeared no different than it had been shortly before the beginning of the XK-Class Event. The only individuals who remembered anything about the XK event were certain site directors, Foundation administrators, Overseers, and Dr. Everett Mann, who compiled the information on a Foundation deepwell server. Ever since the end of the XK event, SCP-3812 has not changed appearance from its amorphous shape. SCP-3812 still creates spatial and temporal distortions around it, but it no longer lashes out or becomes hostile towards approaching vessels or personnel. Despite these changes, SCP-3812 is still classified as Keter until further analysis can be completed. Footnotes 1. Due to SCP-3812’s nature any attempt to contain it will invariably lead to failure, and despite quarantine efforts and ongoing research, the classification of “Keter” is essentially meaningless. At any point, for any reason, SCP-3812 could not only breach containment on a global scale, but also cause potentially catastrophic damage to the Earth and local reality. The extent of SCP-3812’s capabilities are unknown, and further research is required. However, pending reassessment by the Foundation Classification Committee, SCP-3812 will continue to be classified as “Keter” until further notice. 2. Branderson, L., Diadario, A., & Conwell, J.

As a result, their consciousness is forced to watch in horror as their mind, the singular translator between conscious thought and the physical world, reduces their perception into an inconceivable disorder of real and imagined stimuli. It would be akin to being on a sailing ship during a hurricane, blindfolded, lashed to a steering wheel you cannot turn, all while the ship burns around you.” 6.

From “Constructs of Reality in Higher Dimensions” by Dr. Robert Scranton: “Reality is no different from the physical; that is to say, it is one more way to describe order in the universe. Where the physical can be used to describe things and places, and the temporal can describe moments and periods, reality can be used to describe the completeness of the universe, its fallibility and its overall construction. With that said, just as there are no doubt higher physical dimensions that we cannot perceive or access, there is no reason to believe that the same could not apply to reality. Reality as we perceive it is no more than one tier in the hierarchy of organization that dictates the construction of our existence, and there are likely others above and below ours. Just like an entity in the 4th spatial dimension might perceive our universe and its contents as a whole, and could manipulate those contents from a realm of higher energy, so could an entity with access to a higher metaphysical dimension manipulate the very architecture of our reality, all at once, from a similar realm of higher energy.” 9.

Special Containment Procedures: The primary superstructure of SCP-3813 is located at the bottom of the Tyrrhenian Sea, roughly 17km southwest of Rome near the Italian Peninsula. Due to its size and position on the seabed, transportation is infeasible. Further analysis (as well as additional information from third-party sources) is necessary to ensure the long-term containment of SCP-3813. Should SCP-3813 become active, Site-77 Mobile Task Forces are to mobilize to SCP-3813’s current location and await further orders. Foundation assets embedded in local maritime law enforcement are to prevent civilian access to SCP-3813. Anyone attempting to access the SCP-3813 site is to be interrogated. All information pertaining to SCP-3813 is to be removed from the historical record. The current working cover story can be reviewed in Department of Disinformation Datafile 3813.10841 (“Second Punic War: Variation 6”). Description: SCP-3813 is a massive mechanical superstructure located beneath the Tyrrhenian Sea near Rome, Italy. While the majority of the superstructure is buried beneath the seafloor, a significant percentage can be accessed by divers. The interior of the structure is a partially submerged network of corridors and passageways. Historical records indicate that SCP-3813 was a mechanical war elephant. SCP-3813 was equipped with a number of antiquated armaments, including catapults and ballistae, along with a command tower on the back of the structure. The means by which SCP-3813 was powered is unknown, though investigation of the interior of the collapsed superstructure indicates an anomalous design. Records pertaining to SCP-3813 have been removed from the public historical record by unknown agents in the Roman Republic, Empire, and the early Catholic Church. Remaining information indicates that SCP-3813 was a mechanical siege engine commissioned by the Carthaginian military for use in the Second Punic War. The entity stood roughly 375m in height and was capable of carrying a number of Carthaginian soldiers and supplies. Addendum 3813.1: Surviving Historical Records of SCP-3813 + Addendum 3813.1 - Hide Addendum 3813.1 Section of artwork 3813-P-73: Neapolitan artist Zhaites's depiction of SCP-3813 following the attack on Rome. The fire damage's source is unknown. Click for full view. The majority of information pertaining to SCP-3813 was gathered from a property owned by former Church of the Broken God leader Robert Bumaro. The documents and artwork were discovered within a sealed vault located below the property. Included among the documents were receipts of their purchase from Marshall, Carter and Dark Ltd, The Journeymen, Wilmington and Associates, The Orion Institute, and Kervier International. The documents and artwork totaled at 1391 pieces. Alongside these pieces were also notes and journals written by Bumaro and other high-ranking members of the Church of the Broken God. These included schematics, diagrams, graphs and other charts about SCP-3813 and the nearby region, and long-form technical documents about the entity's power source1. The majority of gathered information came from three notable historians: Aquilla of Naples, Petronius Niccus2, and a single unidentified3 individual who claimed to have fought the Carthaginians on the shore near Ostia. Other minor sources have been identified, mainly collected writings from citizens within Rome. The first account of SCP-3813 by a non-Carthaginian source comes from the records of Adarr of Syracuse, a Sicilian merchant traveling to Palermo in 217 BC. At the first light of the morning, we were awoken by a terrible sound. From our hillside we could see the city below us, and the sea beyond, and in the far distance stood a terrible creature. As tall as a mountain and striding through the ocean on legs that could have reached into the heavens on their own. It hissed and roared and smoked, filling the sky with fire and ash. Astride its back was a tower, a quarter again as tall as the beast, and I could just barely make out men running across the battlements. When the creature came to a stop near midday, we moved towards the beach to see it clearer. When the smoke was blown away we could truly make out its terrible form; an elephant, like those in the south, only misshapen and hideous. Surrounding its feet were ships flying the flag of Carthage, and together they moved slowly through the water towards Rome. Even after it disappeared hours later, I could still hear the endless grinding and screeching of metal. A later account, by a Roman soldier traveling north to meet the Carthaginians moving south towards Rome, described SCP-3813 as such: …it is the doom of Rome; the last sound she will make will be a scream as she is broken in half by a monster that barely recognizes she is there at all…” The Neapolitan artist Zhaites, who was in Rome during Carthage’s attack on the city, described the scene as such in his letter to a friend in the north: It follows with it a blistering heat, and the air around it shimmers and bakes. The sea beneath it boils and rolls, those unfortunate enough to be caught in it burn. Three nights past I witnessed a merchant ship attempt to flee the harbor by Ostia and make for the open waters south of the colossus. It had not but touched the open sea before the beast groaned and turned to face it, belching fire out of its mouths that set the vessel ablaze. Now, this colossus sits in the sea, waiting for the arrival of an army from the north. The garrison has erected catapults, and entrenched the shoreline. But what might do men have in the face of such unstoppable hate? The solitary Carthaginian account (outside of Hannibal’s) of SCP-3813 comes from a single author, Servius. According to Servius, Carthage was not aware of SCP-3813 until Hannibal's brother Hasdrubal marched it into the city himself. There it was seen as a sure sign of Carthage’s inevitable victory over Rome. Servius claimed a familiarity with Hasdrubal's son, Hyrum. Following Hyrum's death during the battle, Servius describes an increasingly desperate situation for the Carthaginian forces, including unpredictable behavior from SCP-3813's commander, Hasdrubal. The account ends shortly after Roman siege weapons drive SCP-3813 back into the sea. The only supported statement made by Hannibal about SCP-3813 is from a conversation he had with Scipio many years later while serving as political advisor in the Seleucid Kingdom: It is said that at one of their meetings in the gymnasium Scipio and Hannibal had a conversation on the subject of generalship, in the presence of a number of bystanders, and that Scipio asked Hannibal whom he considered the greatest general, to which the latter replied, "Alexander of Macedonia". To this Scipio assented since he also yielded the first place to Alexander. Then he asked Hannibal whom he placed next, and he replied, "Pyrrhus of Epirus", because he considered boldness the first qualification of a general; "for it would not be possible", he said, "to find two kings more enterprising than these". Scipio was rather nettled by this, but nevertheless he asked Hannibal to whom he would give the third place. Hannibal replied, "In a different world, one where I had not touched the face of darkness, I might have said myself, for I as even a young man conquered Hispania and led an army across the Alps, the first since Hercules.” With this said, Scipio smiled and asked again, “so then who stands after Pyrrhus of Epirus?” “The men who felled Hyperion.” Addendum 3813.2: Exploration Log Transcription + Addendum 3813.2 - Hide Addendum 3813.2 Agents Setrate and Nereus placing video equipment on SCP-3813's outer shell during initial exploration. Note: The following is an audio/video log transcription taken from an early exploration attempt into SCP-3813. Three members of Mobile Task Force Roma-9 “Ride South”, Vanguard, Setrate, and Nereus, were assigned to enter an exposed section of SCP-3813 to investigate. Audio was recorded from all three agents; video was taken from the submersible vehicle and Agent Nereus and Setrate's Independent Video Recorders. Agents Setrate and Nereus entered SCP-3813 where the front left leg met the main body of the entity. Vanguard stayed behind in a submersible vehicle to monitor the divers. [BEGIN LOG] As on-board video recorder comes online, both Agents Nereus and Setrate are seen floating in the water just beyond the submersible. Beyond them is the form of SCP-3813. Vanguard: Alright, we’re online. You ready? Setrate: You got it. Let’s go. Agents Nereus and Setrate swim towards SCP-3813. Their access point is a damaged panel near the underside of the machine. As they approach, Nereus scans the surface of the structure. Nereus: I hadn’t had a chance to see it up close yet. This was built by people? Vanguard: That’s what they tell me. Nereus: Hard to believe something this big could move. Setrate: (Looking inside SCP-3813) This is going to be tight, I think. Stay behind me, and let me know if you see anything weird. Both divers enter SCP-3813. The access point is above the sea floor but barely shoulder width in diameter. Both men activate their dark-vision goggles and inch forward. Nereus: Do we know where this lets out? Setrate: Somewhere… inside… there’s a… bigger section… bigger than this… (grunts) I can barely… move… Both agents continue forward for a short time. Eventually the space opens up into a larger tube, roughly 1m in diameter. Wedged into the wall of the tube, opposite of their entrance point, is a large stone. Nereus: Explains how our entrance got here. Setrate: Let’s move up this way. We’re looking for… I guess a power supply would be a good start. The two agents swim up into the pipe. They pass small pipes feeding off of the main. Nereus pauses in front of one. Nereus: Look down there. You see something? Setrate: Barely… a fish, maybe? Nereus: Maybe… let's see if we can get a better look at it. Nereus activates a head-mounted lamp. It illuminates the interior of the smaller pipe, and cameras see something moving quickly at the end of the pipe. Nereus: What was that? Setrate: I don’t know. Vanguard, did you see that? Vanguard: Yeah, I’m looking at the footage now… I don’t know, boys, it moved about as soon as you turned the light on. Keep an eye out. Nereus: Roger. Continuing forward, audio recorders begin to pick up a slow rhythmic sound coming from deeper within the structure of SCP-3813. Vanguard: You guys hear that? Setrate: (Pauses) No… what do you- There is a loud, low hum for roughly two seconds. The video feeds for Nereus and Setrate go dark. The electronics inside the submersible begin to act erratically. This continues for a moment, until all the electronics inside the submersible shut off completely. Agent Vanguard launches an SOS balloon from inside the submersible and waits for assistance. Inside SCP-3813, both Agents Nereus and Setrate are disconnected. After roughly four minutes, both men activate their Independent Video Recorders. Nereus: Probably just interference. Let’s keep going. They continue forward until they reach what appears to be a valve. Turning the wheel on the outside of the door, Nereus manages to open the valve and swing it open. The space above is open air, but water begins to fill the room. They both quickly climb up and slam the valve closed. The space they are in is a narrow corridor. The ceilings are low. Both men crouch to avoid hitting their heads. They open the visors of their helmets. Setrate: Ok, so, not fully submerged. That’s good. We can- Nereus: Set, look here. Nereus points at a wall in front of them, where a humanoid figure can clearly be seen merged with the mechanics in the wall around it. The figure’s eyes are closed and its flesh is rotted. Setrate: Shit. Is it a person? Nereus: Yeah… it’s not in great shape. Let’s keep, uh… keep moving. The men continue exploring the tight quarters of SCP-3813’s interior for some time. They pass by several small side-rooms containing discarded machine parts. They see sections of the structure that appear to have been damaged at some point and repaired. New rivets have been placed and leaking steam lines have been patched or replaced. Both men notice their suit thermometers have begun to rise. Setrate: It’s getting hotter. (Pauses) I can hear something down this way. Hammering. Nereus: Let’s go. They reach the end of a hallway that has collapsed. On the ground below them is another valve. Setrate opens it and both men descend. This space is similar to the earlier tube, only both men are now descending feet first and cannot see what lies beneath them. As they shimmy down the tube, their thermometers continue to rise. Setrate: Fuck me it’s hot, even the walls here are- fuck! Don’t touch the walls, shit! Nereus: We need to get out of here, we’re going to cook. Setrate: Can you go back up? Nereus: Absolutely not, I can’t even touch the walls of the- Nereus’ voice cuts out as both men slip down the now vertical tube. Setrate lands on a flat platform at the bottom, and Nereus lands on Setrate's head and shoulders. Setrate: Holy shit! I can’t- god, Nereus! I’m fucking burning up here, get off- get- Nereus: What’s below you? What’s below you? We need to get out of here! What’s below you?! Setrate takes a moment to feel the bottom of the platform with his feet. Setrate: It’s flat! It’s sealed! I can’t, I can’t- God, we’re going to- Nereus pushes his hands against the side of the tube, and his skin begins to hiss. He screams in pain and tries to climb back up the tube. Nereus' hands slide against the hot metal and he falls back down onto Setrate. The platform collapses. Both fall into the chamber beneath. They land on a steel grate roughly three meters below. The temperature of the room is unsafe, and both men scramble to their feet. Nereus inspects his blistered hands, Setrate scans the room. Setrate: Nereus- there. They both look across the room. Near the far end is a large, seven-toothed gear. It is suspended above a large tank of water. The white hot gear is rotating slowly; as it does, it appears to pass through the closed top of the tank — as if the gear were intangible. The water boils on contact with the gear, producing steam. Thousands of small metal tubes run out of the tank, which feed into smaller tanks. Each tank is covered in valves and gauges with hundreds of lines that feed into the walls of the chamber. Nereus: A… a steam engine? Setrate: And why it’s so hot, we must have been in a… in a vent or something. Nereus: God… my hands. Setrate: Nereus… Nereus, look. The walls. Figures are beginning to appear in the machinery walls. These figures are all vaguely humanoid, with rotting skin and mechanical replacements for key parts of their bodies. They walk through the walls towards the two agents. Nereus: Fuck! Run! Setrate: Shit! The agents flee away from the engine and towards an opening at the other end. They have to get on their hands and knees to enter. It leads them into a larger, empty tank on the other side. Mechanical humanoids begin to appear around them, and a few move towards a large wheel near the top. As they turn it, water begins to fill the tank. Nereus: Visors down! Come on! The men seal their helmets as water rushes over them. The mechanical humanoids jump into the tank from above and sink down towards them. Both of the men dive down towards the bottom of the tank where a small hatch is visible on one side. A mechanical figure attempts to grab Nereus from behind but is thrown off. Setrate grabs the wheel on the hatch and, with some effort, spins it. The hatch opens and both men are pulled into the enclosed space beyond as water rushes out of the tank. They slide through the darkness for some time through a series of tubes, eventually depositing out into another chamber. This chamber is similarly cramped, but appears to be free of the mechanical humanoids. Agent Setrate’s camera goes offline. Setrate: Fuck… I think… shit, I landed on my camera, the fucking lens is busted. (He checks the recorder unit) No, not the lens. Just the recorder. (Pauses) Transmitter is fine, but I bet the card is fucked up, too. Nereus: Pull it out, and stick it into mine. It’ll at least be safe from the water in there, and we can just look at it when we get topside. (Pauses, takes a deep breath) Alright. So there are people… things… in here. That hot gear up there, that’s got to be an anomalous power source, right? Did you see how it was just phasing through the metal on that tank? Setrate: Yeah. How are your hands? Nereus: Fucked up. I’m just going to slow you down. Setrate nods. Looking around the room, he notices several other hatches just above them. Setrate: Help me get up there, and we’ll try and find a route out. Setrate climbs on Nereus’ shoulders, and the two men squeeze into another confined space. They work their way through, careful to avoid making any sound. Lights can be seen through the walls of the hallway. As they reach the door on the far end, Nereus leans in to listen. Nereus: (Knocks on the door) Water. I bet this is an external door. Let’s go. Setrate spins the hatch on the door and opens it. Water begins to fill the room. Once the chamber is sufficiently flooded, he opens the door completely and they step outside. They are standing on one of many suspended platforms hanging off the sides of SCP-3813. Just past the edge of the railing, the dim lights of the submersible vehicle are visible. Nereus: Emergency lights, look. Something must have happened to the sub. Nereus waves at the submersible. Nereus: Vanguard, you read us now? Let’s get out of- There is a loud cracking sound, and suddenly Setrate is pulled back through the hatch behind them quickly. The force of Setrate being pulled into SCP-3813 spins Nereus sideways, his helmet smashing against the side of the railing. The hatch closes behind him. A crack has formed on Nereus' helmet; and water is leaking in. He tries to swim towards the submersible, but the leg of his diving suit has caught on the metal railing. Nereus: Oh Jesus! Vanguard! Vanguard, do you read me? I’m stuck, I’m taking on water, Vanguard, help! Agent Nereus attempts to free himself from the railing. There is no response from Agent Vanguard. Nereus: Setrate? Setrate!? Vanguard, help me! I can’t get, I can’t get unstuck! Help! Inside, Setrate is pulled backwards. Nereus’ video feed captures Setrate disappearing into the ceiling of the hallway. On Setrate’s video transmitter, all that can be seen around him is metal moving and the only sound is steel on steel. His video feed, now transmitting to the submersible, flickers slightly but remains constant. Outside, Agent Nereus pulls again and frees himself from the railing. With his suit quickly filling with water, he swims towards the submersible. Nereus: Vanguard! Vanguard, open the hatch! Vanguard, the water! Vanguard! Agent Nereus is seen approaching the submersible, though his movements are erratic and he makes little progress. Nereus: Vangu- (sounds of water) -help, I- (choking) -help, please, he- (sloshing) -can’t, can’t- Agent Nereus pulls at his belt and disconnects his video recorder, which he throws at the sub. He struggles with his helmet for the following 23 seconds before becoming still. His suit hangs in the water just in front of the submersible. After a moment, his body sinks towards SCP-3813. Agent Setrate’s video feed becomes dark for several minutes as the agent is pulled through the interior of SCP-3813. Eventually a small, dimly lit room becomes visible. There are humanoid entities around the chamber operating machines. Steam fills the air. Agent Setrate tries to resist, but his arms and legs are restrained by the wall behind him. In the center of the room is a large mechanical component that appears to have burst through the floor. Conjoined into this structure is a skeletal figure with bloodied, taut skin and thin, grey hair. A golden circlet is fused to the figure’s scalp. When the entity turns to face Agent Setrate, it smiles, and behind its teeth a fire can be seen burning in its throat. Small red lights flash in its eye sockets. Foundation linguists and analysts with access to this file are to utilize the following audio log in conjunction with evaluation file 3813-9-A in order to identify the entity interacting with Agent Setrate. The entity speaks. The language is unidentified and it has not yet been translated. It reaches a hand out from the machine it is fused into, up to move away its hair. The red lights of its eyes begin to glow brighter, and SCP-3813 shudders around them. The entity speaks again, more forcefully. Setrate: I don’t know what you’re saying! The entity steps forward. As it does, the machine it is attached to begins to stir, and long mechanical constructs snake out of it to follow the figure towards Agent Setrate. After a moment, the entity is within an arm's length from Setrate. Its body is still connected to the central machine by numerous cables, tubes, wires and other machine parts. The entity smiles, and the fire in its throat is visible again. Smoke begins to pour out of its nostrils and mouth. Setrate: What do you want? The figure reaches an arm into the ground, and through the machinery on the flooring produces a Foundation standard diving-helmet. The visor is down and the interior is cloudy, but other tubes and hoses snake out of the bottom of it. Red fluid pulses through the hoses. The figure holding the helmet begins to speak, and as it does Nereus' voice speaks from inside the clouded helmet. The voice is metallic, heavily distorted, and in English. Nereus’ Voice: You look to run. As a true coward of Rome. But there is no path but forward. For too long I have waited. For too long I have… suffered. Today, a son of Romulus comes. I have held this machine together in anticipation of your arrival. I hope only that you resist so that I may enjoy breaking your will. There is much to do and Rome must burn. Agent Setrate struggles as the machine parts around him begin to pull him back into the wall. The video and audio feed cuts out and does not reactivate. [END LOG] Shortly afterwards, Foundation recovery teams collected the submersible vehicle, the video records of both divers and Agent Vanguard for debriefing. Agents Setrate and Nereus were not recovered. A complete historical summary of SCP-3813's attack on Rome has been compiled by Foundation Historian, Dr. Elias Antony in document 3813-L.

SCP-3814 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3814 Special Containment Procedures: As of 06/11/2009, SCP-3814 has been reclassified as Neutralized. Former classification: Safe. Reclassified to Euclid. See Incident Report 3814/2 SCP-3814 is currently contained at the D-Class Cell Block of Site-91. The role of SCP-3814-1 is to be passed between D-Class Personnel indefinitely. Current SCP-3814-1 is forbidden to participate in any tests until they are no longer SCP-3814-1. Should any higher personnel become SCP-3814-1 by any means, they are required to pass the role to a member of the D-Class personnel as soon as possible. View Original Containment Procedures Close SCP-3814 has been confined to Site-91 and must only be passed onto personnel currently working there. In the event that SCP-3814 should be passed beyond the borders of Site-91 due to evacuation of personnel or other eventualities, it is to be brought back into the facility at the earliest opportunity. Staff member currently designated SCP-3814-1 is required to wear an approved item distinguishing them from other on-site personnel. This item will be passed onto the next SCP-3814-1. No subject is allowed to stay SCP-3814-1 for longer than 24 hours at a time. Close Description: SCP-3814 is an anomalous game of Tag. The currently 'tagged' subject, from here on referred to as SCP-3814-1, experiences a mental compulsion to 'tag' any nearby individuals. The strength of this effect increases with time. After approximately 24 hours since tagging, most affected subjects begin to claim that it is almost impossible to resist this compulsion and can attempt to 'tag' others even in inconvenient or even dangerous situations. (See Incident Report 3814/1). In addition to this, SCP-3814-1 will not experience any such compulsive tendencies towards the previously 'tagged' person. After SCP-3814 has been passed onto another person, all effects it had on SCP-3814-1 will cease. No other effects have been observed. (See Incident Report 3814/2) Once the subject becomes SCP-3814-1, the rules of SCP-3814 are permanently embedded in their memories through anomalous means. Following is a transcript of the rules as written down by one of the subjects: To tag you have to touch the person and say "Tag, you're it!" You cannot tag the person who tagged you. The tag MUST be passed on. All investigative attempts to uncover the origin of SCP-3814 have failed. SCP-3814 was brought into Site-91 in 2005 by Dr. ████, who was unaware of its anomalous nature at the time. Later it was found that SCP-3814 was passed onto Dr. ████ by a family member, who was 'tagged' by their co-worker… While this backtracking of SCP-3814's history was not able to identify an origin of the anomaly, it has proven that it existed as far back as 18██. Addendum: Incident Report 3814/1 On 06/11/2009, SCP-3814-1 (at the time, Dr. Lisa Arlington) was killed during an experiment with SCP-████.1 The remnants of Dr. Arlington's body were taken care of according to standard Foundation procedure in such manners. SCP-3814 reclassified as Neutralized. Addendum: Incident Report 3814/2 On 07/11/2009, approximately 24 hours after her death, Dr. Arlington was sighted at Site-91, lying unconscious in a hallway leading to staff dormitories. Dr. Erwick called site security to aid him in relocating Dr. Arlington to on-site infirmary. Medical evaluation didn't find any abnormalities in Dr. Arlington's physiology. Following is an interview conducted by Dr. Erwick shortly after Dr. Arlington regained consciousness. Interviewed: Dr. Arlington Interviewer: Dr. Erwick <Begin Log> Dr. Erwick: What happened to you, Lisa? Dr. Arlington: I don't know. Dr. Erwick: Do you remember anything after your- After the incident with SCP-████? Dr. Arlington: No. I remember waking up here at the medical bay. Dr. Erwick: Lisa, please. Try harder. You must remember something. Dr. Arlington: I am sorry, Chris - I just don't recall anything. Dr. Erwick: Okay. Fine… Alright. I apologise, it must be hard. Dr. Arlington: What must be hard? Everyone is acting weird around me, what is it? Dr. Erwick is silent Dr. Arlington: Chris, tell me. Dr. Erwick: We thought you were dead. Dr. Arlington: Well, I clearly survived. Dr. Erwick: No. You didn't. Dr. Arlington: What? Dr. Erwick: You died, Lisa. We have no clue why you appeared this morning… Neither participant speaks for almost twenty seconds. Dr. Erwick: I know. I couldn't believe it either, Lisa. Whatever happened is a miracle. Dr. Arlington: Chris… Dr. Erwick: I don't know what I would do without you… Dr. Arlington: Chris! Dr. Erwick: Yes? Dr. Arlington: [Dr. Arlington appears to be in pain.] I think I remember something. Dr. Erwick: Yes, of course. And what is it? Dr. Arlington: It's- it's just a bunch of words, sentences maybe. I can't make anything of it though. Dr. Erwick: Words? Can you tell me about any of these words? Dr. Arlington: It's like some rules. In my mind. Gosh it hurts. Dr. Erwick: We can stop if you- Dr. Arlington: The tag must be passed on. Dr. Erwick: Do you mean the Site-91 Tag? SCP-3814? Dr. Arlington: The tag must be passed on. Dr. Erwick: Lisa, you already said that. Dr. Arlington stays silent for another 11 seconds, then repeats herself once more. Dr. Erwick: Lisa? No reaction from Dr. Arlington. Dr. Erwick: Lisa? [Dr. Erwick is about to leave the room.] Dr. Arlington: Wait. Chris. Dr. Erwick returns to Dr. Arlington. Dr. Arlington: Hold my hand, please. Dr. Erwick: [Dr. Erwick makes physical contact with Dr. Arlington.] I am here for you, Lisa. Dr. Arlington: …Tag… .You're it. Dr. Erwick: [Dr. Erwick seems confused.] What? Dr. Arlington suddenly expires without any visible explanation. Dr. Erwick: Lisa? Lisa! No! Please! No- [EXPLETIVE REDACTED] <End Log> Closing Statement: Dr. Erwick was removed out of the room and later questioned. It would appear that SCP-3814 grants temporal reanimation in cases where SCP-3814-1 dies before they can tag someone else. Further research denied. SCP-3814 reclassified to Euclid. Containment Procedures updated according to Dr. Erwick's suggestions. Footnotes 1. It appears that Dr. Arlington has overestimated her ability to resist the compulsive effect of SCP-3814 and attempted to 'tag' a D-Class personnel during the test resulting in her death. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3814" by Utylike, from the SCP Wiki.

SCP-3815 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3815 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3815 is currently housed on a clandestine farm in ██████, Utah, under the visual supervision of three female, Level-2 personnel, trained specifically to counter its anomaly. Once a month a courier from Site-11 is to be dispatched to the location to resupply the group with amenities as needed. SCP-3815 is allowed free roam around the property during daylight hours provided an escort, and limited television and internet access dependent on good behavior. Description: SCP-3815 is a human female of Icelandic nationality by the name of Elena Bell. Subject is 20 years of age, stands approximately 1.5m tall and weighs 46kg. SCP-3815 is an entity whose immediate location is solely dependent upon being in the sightline of the nearest human being, disregarding itself. If visual contact of the subject is severed by prolonged blinking or sufficiently obscured by any means, SCP-3815 will spontaneously materialize into view of the nearest living individual including its clothing and any untethered objects it may be holding at the time. Subject does not appear to be in control of this phenomena as relocation occurs regardless of its will, disposition, or state of consciousness. According to SCP-3815’s own testimony this anomaly began manifesting five days after its 20th birthday, following its mother’s passing. If it is to be believed, interviews suggest there might be a correlation between the two events, though the actual cause remains unknown. Any further experiments involving SCP-3815 have been discontinued following Incident SCP-3815-08, in which line of sight testing caused the subject to partially materialize into a concrete wall where the nearest researcher was focusing, resulting in a small crater and substantial spinal injury for SCP-3815. Any new relevant information denoting a change in relocation behavior or circumstances involving significant harm brought to the subject are to be documented and logged by assigned personnel at the time. Addendum 3815-01: Any abandoned parts of the subject’s physiology including locks of hair, fingernail clippings, skin scrapings, saliva, blood samples, and bodily waste products no longer possess the line of sight anomaly. Addendum 3815-02: Experimentation with mirrors, reflective surfaces, and live camera feeds reveal that an indirect line of sight is sufficient to prevent dematerialization and relocation of the subject. In addition, complete obscuration is required for a line of sight relocation to occur; so long as the subject’s perceived outline is still visible the subject remains in place. This may also help to explain why typical blinking patterns by observers does not trigger the anomaly, as perception seems to take precedence over actual line of sight. Utilization of mirrors and translucent curtains in subject’s residence to allow ease of containment and privacy have been approved. Interview Log 3815-3 – hide block Interviewer: Dr. Elijah Rhalli <Begin Log> Dr. Rhalli: Good morning, how are you feeling today, 3815? SCP-3815: Just call me Elena. You know my name. Half the people on site do since I’ve been bouncing around here. Dr. Rhalli: Your anomaly appears very inconvenient for you. SCP-3815: I can’t even sleep without someone gawking at me, though… if I’m being honest it is rather relaxing being able to stay in one place for a couple of hours. Dr. Rhalli: We’ve established chaperones to help in that department. We want to make sure you are comfortable. SCP-3815: After the last experiment you conducted I should hope so. I don’t want to get slammed into any more walls, thank you. The company isn’t bad, I’m just not used to so much of it. Dr. Rhalli: That’s understandable. You said you lived alone with your mother? SCP-3815: Ah, now we are getting into the Freudian shit. Yes, I lived with my mother. I took care of her and paid our bills. Life was simple. Dr. Rhalli: Do you think her death triggered you in some way? Did you mourn her loss? SCP-3815: Of course I did. What, you think she had something to do with my current condition? She wasn’t a witch. She could barely move or speak. Dr. Rhalli: She was stricken with cystic fibrosis, correct? SCP-3815: Yes, and early on-set Alzheimer’s. She was a wreck in the end. Can we get back to my condition? Dr. Rhalli: But of course, do you have any education on or understanding of quantum mechanics, or perhaps the Von Neumann-Wigner interpretation1? SCP-3815: Is that some sort of universal source code or something? I just want to stop teleporting. Dr. Rhalli: It's more of a theory about the presence of consciousness being required for existence. SCP-3815: You're way off. Dr. Rhalli: Then maybe you could enlighten me. (SCP-3815 reclines in its chair, crosses its arms, and remains silent. After one minute elapses, Dr. Rhalli resumes speaking.) Dr. Rhalli: We might be able to afford you more freedom, in exchange for your continued cooperation. SCP-3815: (sighing) I don’t know anything about quantum mechanics, but my mother did say something to me the day before she died, and I woke up on my neighbor’s kitchen table while he ate breakfast. Just… promise me you won’t dig her up or anything. Dr. Rhalli: What did she say? SCP-3815: It was the clearest thing she had said in three years. She said… she was sorry I didn’t have a social life because of her. She said she was sorry I didn’t get to go to college because all the money went to her disease. She said that just looking at me was the greatest feeling in the world, and that when she died she hoped that someone would always look after me. I guess… the universe took her too literally on that. <End Log> Footnotes 1.

SCP-3816 | safe | SCP-3816 Item #: SCP-3816 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3816 is to remain at its original location. The public is to be informed that SCP-3816 is a non-anomalous telescope. Due to the security hazard it poses, entrance to SCP-3816 is restricted to personnel with Level 3/3816 clearance. SCP-3816 is being proposed for reconnaissance on Groups of Interest and other antagonistic entities pending O5 approval. Description: SCP-3816 is the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), located in Xinglong Station observatory, Hebei Province, People's Republic of China. SCP-3816 provides a seemingly omnipresent "bird's-eye" field of view capable of being maneuvered to areas and scales that appear physically impossible from the telescope's dimensions. Time does not elapse in the field of view provided by SCP-3816 and instead shows the same particular point in time as when the object was first used by the viewer. Movement of its field of view gradually speeds up to improbably high speeds when used, most likely to facilitate the convenient use of its large range. When viewed through SCP-3816, all sapient organic organisms take on a luminescent blue coloration which is present through walls and other physical barriers. This includes other non-human anomalous forms of life. On the lower right corner of the object's field of view, a counter notes the number of sapient organisms currently inside the field of view. SCP-3816 was built in 2008 by the Chinese Academy of Science. Its anomalous properties were discovered on 10/21/2014, 1 year, 3 months, and 13 days after the LAMOST regular survey began. It is currently hypothesized that SCP-3816 gained its properties through unauthorized alterations of its internal structure with an unknown anomalous impetus. Addendum 3816-1: Testing Logs DATE: 3/31/2019 TARGET: Junior Researcher Jayesh Acharya, who is standing 50 meters away from SCP-3816. RESULT: Researcher Acharya is spotted, emitting a luminescent blue glow. COUNTER: 1 DATE: 3/31/2019 TARGET: Junior Researcher Jayesh Acharya, who is standing 500 meters away from SCP-3816 and facing the posterior side of the telescope. RESULT: Researcher Acharya is spotted, emitting a luminescent blue glow. The orientation of SCP-3816 is unchanged. COUNTER: 1 DATE: 3/31/2019 TARGET: Junior Researcher Jayesh Acharya, who is in his hotel room in Beijing 115 km away from SCP-3816. RESULT: Researcher Acharya is spotted, emitting a luminescent blue glow. COUNTER: 1 Upon realizing the large range that SCP-3816 exhibits, further testing was ordered to determine its capabilities. DATE: 4/6/2019 TARGET: Foundation Site-29, located in Busan, South Korea, approximately 1191 km away from SCP-3816. RESULT: Site-29 is spotted, and numerous figures glowing luminescent blue can be seen through its walls. COUNTER: 523 DATE: 4/6/2019 TARGET: Foundation Site-91, located in Smolensk, Russia, approximately 6221 km away from SCP-3816. RESULT: Site-91 is spotted, and numerous figures glowing luminescent blue can be seen through its walls. COUNTER: 491 DATE: 4/6/2019 TARGET: Foundation Site-67, located in Trois-Rivières, Canada, approximately 10444 km away from SCP-3816. RESULT: Site-67 is spotted, and numerous figures glowing luminescent blue can be seen through its walls. COUNTER: 681 DATE: 4/8/2019 TARGET: Beijing, China RESULT: SCP-3816 is maneuvered directly above the nearby city of Beijing, China. Smog obscures much of the city. Due to a large number of sapient organisms in view, blue luminescence appears as a confluent mass surrounding the city above this scale. COUNTER: 26102681 DATE: 4/8/2019 TARGET: China RESULT: SCP-3816 zooms out until the whole of the People's Republic of China can be viewed, along with portions of Mongolia, India, and Thailand. COUNTER: 1691731620 Further testing on SCP-3816 was ordered to determine how far its field of view can be zoomed out. DATE: 4/9/2019 TARGET: Earth RESULT: SCP-3816 zooms out until the eastern hemisphere of Earth is visible from outer space. At this point, SCP-3816 appears to bypass the Earth itself, perceiving all individuals on the western hemisphere as well, allowing SCP-3816 to identify all sapient life forms on Earth as of 12:26 PM CST, 4/9/2019. The Earth itself appears as a confluent sphere of blue luminescence. COUNTER: 7810295827 DATE: 4/9/2019 TARGET: Earth RESULT: SCP-3816 zooms out until the camera is estimated 0.25 AU from Earth. The moon becomes visible. COUNTER: 7810295827 DATE: 4/9/2019 TARGET: Earth RESULT: SCP-3816 zooms out until the camera is estimated 1.1 AU from Earth. Mercury and Venus become visible.

SCP-3817 | safe | Confirmed photograph of SCP-3817, circa 1850 Item #: SCP-3817 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3817 is to be contained in a standard humanoid residential chamber at Site-███. SCP-3817 is to be restrained in the event it exhibits any sign of physical violence towards itself or personnel. SCP-3817 is required to have weekly medical examinations. Any major discrepancies in physical or mental health are to be reported to acting senior medical staff on-duty. SCP-3817 is permitted access to the following: one 88-key upright piano one writing desk stationery Note: All pens and pencils given to SCP-3817 must be at least 8mm in diameter. No mechanical pencils are allowed. Minor luxuries such as books may be issued upon approval of the Site Director. Description: SCP-3817 is a man of European descent, approximately 40 years of age. SCP-3817 claims to be the German composer Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847). DNA analysis has confirmed this claim to be true. SCP-3817 was recovered in Leipzig, Germany, on ██/██/20██, following reports of a local vagrant who was allegedly unable to age. Investigations of visual and written records concerning the vagrant have confirmed that it has been physically about 40 years old for the past 1██ years. Full-body examination has revealed SCP-3817 to have sustained a degree of physical damage that would likely be fatal to a non-anomalous human being. There is currently no scientific explanation to SCP-3817's continued survival despite its critical state of health. SCP-3817 has confirmed the damage to have been the result of multiple self-mutilation efforts in the 1██ years prior to its containment. SCP-3817 has claimed that it has no suicidal intent in its self-mutilation. It has also claimed to have experienced no symptoms of suicidal ideation in the past 1██ years. SCP-3817 is currently undergoing psychiatric evaluation to verify the aforementioned claims. The self-inflicted damages to SCP-3817's body are as follows: + View damage log - Close damage log Mercury poisoning, resulting in symptoms such as increased heart rate, insomnia, and frequent sensations of pins and needles. SCP-3817 has testified to regular ingestion of mercury compounds over a period of ██ years in the late 19th century. Lead poisoning, resulting in conditions such as anemia and hearing loss. Further analysis has suggested that the cause of the poisoning to have been deliberate ingestion of elemental lead from around 2006. Severe cirrhosis of the liver; caused by long-term frequent intake of alcohol. ██% of its liver has been replaced by scar tissue. The degree of cirrhosis is highly likely to result in liver failure; however, SCP-3817's liver is functional, albeit at a severely impaired level. SCP-3817 also suffers from several health problems associated with cirrhosis, such as jaundice, prolonged exhaustion, and buildup of fluid in the abdominal cavity. Accumulation of scar tissue on the eardrums in both ears, leading to recurrent tinnitus, chronic ear pains, and hearing loss; caused by repeated perforation of the eardrums via insertion of sharp objects into the ear canal. Sounds above 80 decibels in volume are still audible to SCP-3817, however, it is effectively deaf to normal conversation. Numerous small areas of scar tissue on its palms, legs, abdomen and pelvic region, identified as healed sores from primary and secondary syphilis. SCP-3817 also exhibits symptoms of neurosyphilis, such as mood swings, delusions, and hallucinations. It has also been recorded displaying irrational and obsessive behavioral patterns consistent with those exhibited by sufferers of neurosyphilis. For example, SCP-3817 has been observed obsessively making lists of the ailments of well-known classical composers; it has also been observed engaging in conversation with what it claims to be the spirits of deceased composers. Investigations have concluded these "spirits" to be non-anomalous auditory hallucinations. Overall, SCP-3817 is in poor health and reports frequent physical pain and emotional distress. Despite its current state of health, SCP-3817 has not made any of the expected requests for termination and has explicitly stated that it does not desire humanitarian euthanasia. SCP-3817's maintained claim that it lacks suicidal desires has led to speculation that the cause of its biological immortality may be linked to its self-mutilation. Upon the Foundation's request, SCP-3817 has agreed to provide a written outline of the reasons behind its self-mutilation for further investigation of its anomalous property: I understand that you wish to know why I have chosen this course of action. My thoughts are unclear and half wild, but I will try to organize them and explain myself to the best of my ability. [Three lines of script densely scribbled over, completely illegible] It has been brought to my attention that The Great Composers Beethoven cramped and vomited and lived in a world of painful silence; Mozart was sickly and miserable and up to his powdered wig in debt; Chopin was endlessly coughing his lungs and his soul out; Schumann saw angels and demons and phantoms and had moods that were as stormy as the literature of his era. These men were the great composers. They knew how it was like to be exhilarated, they knew how it was like to be in the depths of despair. They knew emotions. Their music changed and shifted and developed and grew with the changes in their lives. All the great composers endured pain and suffering to fulfill their desire to create. And the results of their effort: timeless masterpieces! As for me? Happy and fortunate is my first name! I was born into a wealthy family, showered with support and praise and money for my entire life - never did I have to struggle to write music. No other composer experienced such profound insulation from hardship. I never understood genuine misery and misfortune. For the 38 years in which I lived, my music never changed in style or quality, and there is no doubt that my pitifully comfortable existence impeded my artistic development. And do you agree with me, that the first condition of an artist should be to bear respect towards what is great, and to bow to it and acknowledge it? Owing to that, I have decided I must acquaint myself with suffering for my own sake. I must never perish, I must endure torment. I destroyed my hearing so I would never again experience the pleasures of sound, just like Beethoven who went deaf. Many of my illustrious predecessors such as Schubert, Schumann, and Donizetti suffered from syphilis, so I did what was needed. So did many of them praise alcohol and become drunkards. I have faithfully followed their practice of drinking excessively, only ceasing when every part of my body cried 'stop, no more.' I took to living on the streets as a penniless vagrant so I could worry about money, about my safety, about where my next meal was going to come from, as many illustrious composers led their lives in debt or poverty; Mozart and Wagner come to mind. There were more, and I would have written them down if I could recall them; my memory is regrettably patchy. However I can say with confidence that I have made significant progress since. I am always in pain I am in constant pain and I can't even walk a few steps without feeling strange or numb or hurt and I cannot put it into words I do not wish to end this pain. I want to continue living. This is what the great composers endured every day, this is what shaped and grew them and I too must let it be an unavoidable part of my life. They have told me this. They have told me I must not give up in trying to develop myself. I have since grown accustomed to pain in an endearing, musical way. I understand mankind's greatest sorrows and they are tangible. It has completely changed the way I perceive and comprehend things This is my life now I have emotions now and I am no longer emotionless I believe I have made great leaps in terms of progress. The heavenly spirits of the late great composers are agreeing with me. I can hear them speak, feel their presence. They are giving me their approval. My time, I am sure, is right now. I have been writing at great speed A volume of Songs Without Words is nearing completion. I am sure it is not too much to hope that it will satisfy the public as much as it satisfies me it will fulfill it will be to the public's liking it [Illegible, scribbled-over script for the rest of the note] P.S. Please forgive me for the cancellations and clumsy writing. I was weary. A poet in me was lost. I offer my sincerest apologies. Addendum: During the period of its stay at the Foundation, SCP-3817 has written a collection of piano pieces titled Songs Without Words. Musicologists have been tasked to analyze these pieces and compare them to Songs Without Words written by Mendelssohn from 1829 to 1845. No stylistic differences have been detected. |
SCP-3818 | euclid | Item #: SCP-3818 Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3818 is two human beings with no other known anomalies, and as such have been contained within separate standard humanoid containment suites within Bio-Site 66. All security clearance has been revoked from SCP-3818 at the time of writing; personnel are to be reminded that SCP-3818 is to be referred to as such until further notice. SCP-3818-A and -B have been fitted with comfortable and locked collars indicating their SCP designations. These collars must be worn at all times. Description: SCP-3818 is two identical instances of a human male of Irish-English ancestry. It stands 175cm tall (5 foot 9 inches) and weighs 75.75 kilograms (167 lbs). On ██/██/████, a perfect doppelganger of Agent David Hawk, Level 3 Field Agent, manifested in the agent’s quarters of Bio-Site 66 sometime in the early morning hours while the ‘original’ was asleep. Prior to the manifestation of SCP-3818, Agent Hawk was attached to Task Force 066-Beta, which assists with the management of biological items contained for study at Bio-Site 66; currently, both instances of Agent Hawk have been contained collectively as SCP-3818 at Bio-Site 66 until the nature of this anomaly can be ascertained. The two have been arbitrarily designated SCP-3818-A and SCP-3818-B at this time, collectively SCP-3818. Physical and psychological examination has revealed that both instances of Agent Hawk are identical. Below is an assortment of observations made during the initial containment process: Both instances have the exact same DNA, height and weight, fingerprints, vocal signature, dental impression, tongue print, birthmarks, freckles, footprints, gut flora, and blood type. Both instances have evidence of a healed clavicle, previously broken at age 13 while playing lacrosse, as well as independently reported mild memory loss from a car accident. Both instances appear to possess the same memories, with knowledge of their login credentials, passwords, and specific knowledge of data on Agent Hawk’s computer. Both instances possess the same memories of interpersonal history with other personnel within and outside the Foundation. Both instances have an allergy to cumin. Both instances have previously taken speech therapy to minimize a lisp. Both instances have previously been wounded during an altercation with an instance of SCP-████, as evidenced by [unnecessary data redacted]. Both instances dislike the nickname “Dave”. The origin of this anomaly is as of yet unknown; no SCP anomalies associated with Bio-Site 66, any of its researchers, or agents, have any history or effects that are in any way associated with the manifestation of duplicated human beings in the manner displayed in SCP-3818. Interviews: SCP-3818-A and -B were interviewed separately by Drs Bridge and Seidelman at 9:45 AM on the day of their discovery, and then multiple interviews at different points in time afterward. Below are transcripts of various interviews taken with SCP-3818. + Show Interview 1 - SCP-3818-A - Hide Interview Log. Interview 1-3818-A [BEGIN LOG - 9:49 AM] Dr. Bridge: Good morning, erm, please identify yourself. 3818-A: David- Agent David Hawk, Level 3, Task Force Zero Six Six Beta, Site 66. Dr. Bridge: Mm. Tell me about your day so far, Agent. I will be referring to you as 3818-A, or A, after this. Proceed. 3818-A: Yeah, I get it. At six A.M. my alarm went off, and both of us woke up and realized we weren’t alone. Dr. Bridge: Both you and B. 3818-A: Yeah. Both woke up in… well, my bed, I looked over and saw him there. We freaked out, started fighting. Security guy, I think Frank? He heard us, came down and broke us up. Now we’re here. Dr. Bridge: You woke up in bed together. And you had the same clothing, down to the brand of shirt… The guard detained you both from there, correct? 3818-A: Yeah. Dr. Bridge: And as far as we can all tell, you’re the same- sorry, you’re identical. Down to memories of people you know. 3818-A: As far as I’m aware I guess? brief pause Uh, about memory, Doctor, you probably know. I had an accident? Dr. Bridge: Mm. I’m reading that on your file. You were in an accident and lost a lot of of your early memories. 3818-A: Yeah. Dr. Bridge: Mm. Noted. We’re done here for now, I’ll see you again later. If you need anything, ping the guards. Interview 1-3818-A end. + Show Interview 1 - SCP-3818-B - Hide Interview Log. Interview 1-3818-B [BEGIN LOG - 9:52 AM] Dr. Bridge: Good morning, please identify yourself. 3818-B: Agent David Hawk, Site-66 Task Force Oh-Six Six Beta, Level 3. Dr. Bridge: Good, okay… so tell me why we’re here, Agent. Your designation is 3818-B, just so you’re aware. 3818-B: I’m- Okay. Okay, so my alarm went off and he reached over to shut it off. He looked over, and we both scream and freak out. Dr. Bridge: You and dash-A, you mean. 3818-B: Rr- Yes. I shoved him out of bed, we started fighting. I almost got him in a grapple when… F-Frank. Frank? Showed up. Dr. Bridge: He realized you two were- Appeared, sorry, identical, and detained you. 3818-B: Yeah. Identical, as far as everyone can tell. Apparently he even broke his collarbone when he was little. I actually forgot about that. Dr. Bridge: Yes, as far as we can tell everything seems identical between you two, down to medical history… Though, while we’re using the phrase ‘identical’, we’re treating the two of you as separate entities. 3818-B: Thanks, I-I guess? We’re not the same, I didn’t just mitosis in the middle of the night. Dr. Bridge: Yeah. pause I think that’s all for now, but I will be back in later on. If you need anything, ping the guards. 3818-B: Thanks, doctor. Interview 1-3818-B end Below are further interviews, both taken eight days after initial containment. + Show Interview 5 - SCP-3818-A - Hide Interview Log. Interview 5-SCP-3818-A [BEGIN LOG - 3:11 PM] Dr. Bridge: Good afternoon, Dash-A. You holding up alright? 3818-A: I am, yeah. Just trying to stay sane. Dr. Bridge: It’s been a little over a week since containment. 3818-A: Only that? It feels so much longer, fuck. Dr. Bridge: So I hear from most containees. And… you’ve been a little reclusive, even for a containee. 3818-A: I shouldn’t be in containment, Doctor. You know that. Dr. Bridge: Well I wouldn’t say I should know that, you’re clearly part of an anomaly. As rough as it is, you’re… 3818-A: … Here. Dr. Bridge: several seconds of silence Dash-A, I’m concerned about your state of mind. Try to rest, you’re clearly stewing in something. Okay? You’re aware you can requisition entertainment material, right? 3818-A: Yeah, of course. I’ll try to find something, Dr. Bridge: Then do so. Just ask the guards, we’ll get it to you. They have a logging system, we won’t miss anything. Ask for anything you like. Other than Internet access. 3818-A: Oh, drat, I hoped to get that first. Dr. Bridge: Mm- hah. Yeah, I’m sorry, you know the process. 3818-A: Yes Doctor. Containment first… It’s frustrating. Dr. Bridge: … Now is there anything you need? Or want to talk about? 3818-A: No, I’ll be okay Doctor. Just take care, okay? Dr. Bridge: Alright, well. Until next time. Interview 5-SCP-3818-A end. + Show Interview 5 - SCP-3818-B - Hide Interview Log. Interview 5-SCP-3818-B [BEGIN LOG - 4:21 PM] Dr. Bridge: Good afternoon Dash-B, you wanted to see me? 3818-B: I did, yeah. Any progress trying to figure out what’s going on here? Dr. Bridge: … No, not yet. No new developments on our end. How are you holding up? 3818-B: Fff… doctor, I swear to god, I have no idea what’s going on here. Dr. Bridge: I didn’t think you wo- 3818-B: Sorry, I’m… Doctor, nothing? The camera thing maybe? Dr. Bridge: You’ve never worked with that, have you? 3818-B: N-no, but it’s… like the only thing I can think of that could explain this bullshit. Dr. Bridge: Mm. You’re anxious, really anxious, aren’t you? 3818-B: … Yeah, sorry. Shouldn’t swear at you- It’s been a week, right? Dr. Bridge: Day eight… You’ve requisitioned some entertainment material, yes? 3818-B: Yeah I have my music and movies and stuff. There’s nothing else to do around here. Dr. Bridge: We can look into more novel entertainment or avenues of expression. If you think that would help. 3818-B: I… I don’t know. It’s like a bad dream Doc. Like… Dr. Bridge: … Go on. 3818-B: Like it’s not getting better. Interview 5-SCP-3818-B end. Dr. Bridge and Dr. Seidelman believe that the above interviews are worthwhile keeping in the main SCP-3818 summary file; further interview logs are available upon request. Follow-Up Summary: SCP-3818-A and -B remain in Euclid class humanoid containment. Both maintain ignorance to the nature of their shared anomaly. Incident Summary - Security Breach ██/██/████:edited On ██/██/████ at 2:17 P.M. local time, a wide-scale breach occurred across Bio-Site 66, causing the accidental release of multiple Euclid class SCP entities. During this time, a number of containment systems, site and SCP surveillance, and backup power systems experienced rolling failures across the Site. The incident lasted for approximately two-and-a-half hours. Of note is that all humanoid containment at Bio-Site 66 failed during this breach; however, humanoid SCP objects other than 3818-A and 3818-B remained within containment, for their own safety. SCP-3818-A and -B are unaccounted for during the entire duration of the breach. During this time, security surveillance was irregular, with camera systems rebooting repeatedly. Due to this, limited visual records exist of the breach. While mostly successful in their efforts, the escaped SCP-████ became especially difficult towards the latter half of the breach and forced the present members of Task Force 066-Beta to scatter. By 5:02 P.M. local time, several Mobile Task Forces arrived at Bio-Site 66 to lend support from other Sites. System functionality was restored and remaining SCP objects were soon returned to containment. At 6:22 P.M. local time, SCP-3818-A and -B were discovered in an unused containment chamber. The designation collars had been damaged and removed from both instances; one instance was found dead, with the other bearing wounds consistent with SCP-████ as well as close-quarters-combat. The remaining instance of SCP-3818 remains in containment; the deceased instance has been given full funerary process, at the behest of Dr. Bridge. The cause of the breach is as of yet unknown. ‡ Licensing / Citation ‡ Hide Licensing / Citation Cite this page as: "SCP-3818" by Dexanote, from the SCP Wiki. Source: https://scpwiki.com/scp-3818.
